SIGN    Old AV Room
[00:02] Hanabi
    Hey...
[00:03] Hanabi
    How did you change yourself, Tomozaki?
[00:05] Tomozaki
    Me?
[00:06] Hanabi
    I'm not good at, like,
    getting along with people.
[00:11] Tomozaki
    Well, in my case...
[00:15] Tomozaki
    Oh, right.
[00:16] Tomozaki
    Hang on a sec.
[00:18] Hanabi
    Something wrong?
[00:19] Tomozaki
    Nothing.
[00:21] Tomozaki
    Um, in my case, I practiced my expressions,
    posture, and the way I talked.
[00:28] Tomozaki
    In the past, I didn't emote much,
[00:31] Tomozaki
    I slouched all the time,
[00:32] Tomozaki
    and I always mumbled.
[00:35] Tomozaki
    The epitome of socially awkward.
[00:37] Hanabi
    But you sound so cheerful now,
    and your whole vibe has changed.
[00:43] Tomozaki
    Oh... you think so?
[00:46] Hanabi
    Still got a weird way of
    getting embarrassed, though!
[00:48] Tomozaki
    I haven't worked on that yet...
[00:51] Tomozaki
    But I think the very first thing you should
    do is figure out exactly where you are.
[00:57] Hanabi
    Where I am?
[00:59] Hanabi
    What do you mean?
[01:01] Tomozaki
    Well, you see...
[01:03] Hanabi
    You still laugh weird, too! 
    It's creepy!
[01:06] Tomozaki
    I have to agree...
[01:08] Tomozaki
    Okay, that should be enough.
[01:10] Recorded Hanabi
    Still got a weird way of
    getting embarrassed, though!
[01:12] Recorded Tomozaki
    I haven't worked on that yet...
[01:14] Recorded Tomozaki
    But I think the very 
    first thing you should do
[01:15] Hanabi
    Hey! I've been bugged!
[01:16] Tomozaki
    Wait—just listen. Tama, c'mon—
[01:17] Recorded Tomozaki
    is figure out exactly where you are.
[01:20] Recorded Hanabi
    Where I am?
    What do you mean?
[01:24] Recorded Tomozaki
    Well, you see...
[01:25] Recorded Hanabi
    You still laugh weird, too! 
    It's creepy!
[01:28] Tomozaki
    How was that?
[01:30] Hanabi
    I'm pretty harsh, huh?
[01:32] Tomozaki
    Right!
[01:33] Tomozaki
    The way a person talks might not
    be exactly how they picture it.
[01:38] Tomozaki
    Once you know how you talk, maybe you'll
    figure out how you can change it.
[01:43] Hanabi
    Maybe so...
[01:45] Hanabi
    Okay! I'll give it my best shot!

    Battles are better when you're against someone
     whose signature move is the opposite of yours
[03:20] Tomozaki
    Okay,
[03:20] Tomozaki
    lift the corners of your mouth.
[03:25] Tomozaki
    Now run through the vowels.
[03:30] Tomozaki
    Okay! See how that feels?
[03:32] Hanabi
    Uh-huh!
[03:33] Tomozaki
    You catch on quick. That's our Tama!
[03:36] Hanabi
    Yay!
[03:38] Tomozaki
    Think you can practice on your own?
[03:40] Hanabi
    Woo!
[03:42] Tomozaki
    You're really good. Better than me, even.
[03:46] Hanabi
    Eh?!
[03:47] Tomozaki
    You're fully proficient.
[03:49] Hanabi
    Hey! You haven't taught me anything yet!
[03:51] Tomozaki
    Yeah, but... your basic 
    ability is way beyond mine.
[03:55] Tomozaki
    I don't think your expressions
    or the way you talk
[03:58] Tomozaki
    are what's keeping you from
    getting along in class.
[04:01] Hanabi
    Then what could it be?
[04:04] Tomozaki
    Hmm...
[04:05] Tomozaki
    Maybe try not arguing
    with Konno for a while?
[04:13] Hanabi
    Got it.
[04:15] Mimimi
    Tama!
[04:16] Mimimi
    Sorry I kept you!
[04:18] Mimimi
    Hey...
[04:19] Mimimi
    Tomozaki, too?
[04:21] Mimimi
    What? Why?
[04:23] Tomozaki
    Um, well... this and that...
[04:25] Hanabi
    Aoi's not with you?
[04:27] Mimimi
    She'll have her hands full with
    student council stuff for a while.
[04:31] Mimimi
    So, Brain,
[04:32] Mimimi
    what exactly is going on here, hmm?
[04:35] Tomozaki
    Oh... er...
[04:36] Tomozaki
    It-It's just...
SIGN    Sewing Room 2
[04:44] Tomozaki
    You're dead set against changing Tama, right?
[04:48] Aoi
    I told you, didn't I? There's nothing
    wrong with Tama.
[04:51] Aoi
    So she shouldn't change.
[04:54] Tomozaki
    Even if she wants to?
[04:58] Tomozaki
    That's what she told me:
[05:00] Tomozaki
    the situation is making Mimimi sad,
    so she wants to change herself.
[05:04] Tomozaki
    That's what she wants to 
    do—loud and clear.
[05:08] Aoi
    I see.
[05:09] Tomozaki
    I'd like you to help her, if
    it's possible.
[05:14] Aoi
    If Hanabi changes, none of this matters.
[05:19] Tomozaki
    Hinami...
[05:22] Tomozaki
    On that day,
[05:23] Tomozaki
    the mood in the classroom shifted a little.
[05:29] Tomozaki
    This had always been where Konno and
    Tama would start up their squabbling,
[05:34] Tomozaki
    and the class's mood would take a nosedive.
[05:44] Tomozaki
    Yes!
SIGN    Old AV Room
[05:50] Tomozaki
    Great job, Tama! You really
    restrained yourself.
[05:53] Hanabi
    Uh-huh. It's frustrating,
[05:55] Hanabi
    but I know there are more
    important things.
[05:58] Tomozaki
    At this rate, though, things
    might not get worse,
[06:02] Tomozaki
    but they won't get dramatically
    better, either.
[06:05] Hanabi
    Yeah... I guess not.
[06:07] Tomozaki
    Now to create an atmosphere that'll make
    the rest of the class take your side.
[06:17] Hanabi
    I just don't know what they're all thinking.
[06:21] Hanabi
    I kinda know what Konno is thinking, but...
[06:25] Hanabi
    The rest of the class? It's a
    total mystery.
[06:28] Tomozaki
    Right...
[06:30] Tomozaki
    "Mood" and "flow" sure are tough.
[06:33] Hanabi
    For you, too?
[06:34] Tomozaki
    I've started to understand
    them a little lately,
[06:38] Tomozaki
    but it took me about five
    months to get to this point.
[06:41] Hanabi
    We probably don't have that kind of time.
[06:45] Tomozaki
    Right.
[06:46] Tomozaki
    We need some kind of big game-changing move
[06:49] Tomozaki
    that'll flip everything on its
    head in a short span of time.
[06:53] Tomozaki
    But we'll need help.
[06:57] Mizusawa
    Well, well, you two! In a
    bit of a pinch, are you?
[07:01] Tomozaki
    Mizusawa?
[07:04] Mizusawa
    I knew it, Fumiya.
[07:08] Mizusawa
    You are secretly up to something, after all.
[07:11] Tomozaki
    Wh-What do you mean?
[07:13] Mizusawa
    I thought you two might be scheming,
    so I kept an eye on you.
[07:17] Mizusawa
    This is about Erika's harassment, isn't it?
[07:19] Tomozaki
    Uh... yes. It is, actually.
[07:22] Mizusawa
    Hit the nail on the head!
[07:26] Mizusawa
    You been holding up okay?
[07:28] Hanabi
    I'm fine.
[07:30] Mizusawa
    Oh, am I a third wheel here?
[07:34] Tomozaki
    It's not that.
[07:36] Tomozaki
    Wait, did you specifically drop
    by to see how we were doing?
[07:40] Mizusawa
    Eh, you know.
[07:41] Mizusawa
    If you're going to stand up to Erika,
[07:43] Mizusawa
    shouldn't you have a slightly shady
    character like me in the mix?
[07:50] Tomozaki
    Say...
[07:51] Tomozaki
    You and Nakamura don't really
    get along with Tama, do you?
[07:55] Mizusawa
    And there it is.
[07:57] Mizusawa
    Well, she's like you—so that's good.
[07:59] Mizusawa
    See...
[08:00] Mizusawa
    Tama won't bend, right?
[08:03] Mizusawa
    And Shuji and Erika are both boss types,
    so they're like oil and water with her.
[08:08] Mizusawa
    They had this huge blow-up fight
    and dragged me and Takei into it...
[08:14] Mizusawa
    I took Shuji's side, so I can see
    why I'd come off badly to her.
[08:21] Mizusawa
    So... yeah.
[08:22] Mizusawa
    Anyway, if you need any help,
[08:24] Mizusawa
    I'll be around.
[08:27] Mizusawa
    Later.
[08:30] Tomozaki
    Hang on, Mizusawa!
[08:34] Tomozaki
    I know what we have to do first!
[08:37] Tomozaki
    Tama, as of today, your task will be...
[08:39] Tomozaki
    "Make friends with Mizusawa"!
SIGN    Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
SIGN    Old AV Room
[08:47] Mizusawa
    Aha...
[08:48] Mizusawa
    Practice for getting along with
    the rest of the class, eh?
[08:52] Mizusawa
    And you want me to be her study partner.
[08:55] Tomozaki
    Yeah.
[08:56] Tomozaki
    I think one reason she can't
    integrate herself well
[08:59] Tomozaki
    has to do with putting up emotional
    barriers and becoming unbendable.
[09:03] Tomozaki
    This could be the first step
    to cracking that shell.
[09:08] Mizusawa
    Okay. I'll lend a hand—for you, Fumiya.
[09:12] Mizusawa
    The rest is up to Tama.
[09:17] Hanabi
    I'll give it a shot!
[09:22] Mizusawa
    We've never properly talked
    like this, have we?
[09:26] Hanabi
    You're right...
[09:27] Mizusawa
    Do you hate me like you hate Shuji?
[09:30] Hanabi
    I've seen you hanging out with Nakamura and
    saying a lot of mean things about me.
[09:36] Mizusawa
    Is that so... Mean things, huh.
[09:38] Hanabi
    I don't like that, so I've been avoiding you.
[09:41] Mizusawa
    Avoiding—
[09:44] Mizusawa
    Huh.
[09:46] Mizusawa
    Hey, Fumiya, she's got you beat
    in the bluntness department.
[09:49] Tomozaki
    You ain't seen nothin' yet.
[09:51] Mizusawa
    Seriously?
[09:53] Mizusawa
    Okay, so... it does sound
    like you hate me, then.
[09:56] Hanabi
    But, I mean, I can't know
    what kind of person you are
[09:59] Hanabi
    if I don't try talking to you first.
[10:01] Mizusawa
    Hmm. In that case, is there
    anything you want to ask me?
[10:06] Hanabi
    Not really.
[10:09] Mizusawa
    I had a feeling.
[10:11] Hanabi
    Oh—there is one thing I've wondered about.
[10:14] Mizusawa
    Yeah? Hit me.
[10:16] Hanabi
    Do you like Aoi?
[10:18] Tomozaki
    T-Tama!
[10:20] Hanabi
    Are the rumors true?
[10:22] Hanabi
    Aoi is so full of secrets...
    I can't help but wonder.
[10:26] Mizusawa
    Hmm...
[10:33] Mizusawa
    Sure, I like her.
[10:36] Hanabi
    So it's true?!
[10:37] Mizusawa
    As a friend.
[10:40] Hanabi
    Oh.
[10:41] Mizusawa
    I see... You're into love and romance, huh?
[10:45] Hanabi
    N-No I'm not!
[10:48] Mizusawa
    There's no one you like?
[10:50] Hanabi
    No! And I wouldn't tell you if I did!
[10:52] Mizusawa
    Ah, so there is someone. Who is it?
[10:55] Hanabi
    Hey!
[10:57] Hanabi
    Don't go thinking I'm
    interested in someone!
[10:59] Mizusawa
    Hmm...
[11:01] ---
    After-school strategy meetings...
    Just the two of you...
[11:04] Mizusawa
    Pretty fishy.
[11:06] Hanabi
    No, it isn't! And it would
    never be Tomozaki, anyway!
[11:10] Tomozaki
    Y-You don't have to deny
    it quite so vehemently...
[11:14] Hanabi
    I-I'm sorry!
[11:16] Tomozaki
    No, no. I get it.
[11:17] Mizusawa
    Man, you two are a riot!
[11:22] Mimimi
    Tama!
[11:23] Mimimi
    I'm here!
[11:25] Mimimi
    Oh, Takahiro's with you today?
[11:28] Mizusawa
    Yo.
[11:29] Mimimi
    Why? What's going on here?!
[11:33] Mimimi
    What?
[11:34] Mimimi
    I see! They're both protecting you, eh?
[11:37] Mimimi
    Aren't you the smooth operator, Tama!
[11:40] Mimimi
    A beauty on each arm!
[11:41] Tomozaki
    Is it still "a beauty" when it's two guys?
[11:44] Hanabi
    I don't think so.
[11:46] Mimimi
    It's not?! Then what is it?
[11:49] Mizusawa
    A knight on each arm? Something like that.
[11:52] Tomozaki
    That might work for you,
[11:54] Tomozaki
    but I don't see myself 
    as a beauty or a knight.
[11:57] Mimimi
    Not that again! C'mon,
    you can be plenty cool.
[12:03] Mimimi
    Have some confidence for once, wouldya?!
[12:05] Tomozaki
    S-Sure...
[12:07] Mimimi
    It makes me all sad to see you
    down on yourself all the time.
[12:11] Hanabi
    I was kind of thinking that too.
[12:14] Mizusawa
    Yeah, you do tend to do that, Fumiya...
[12:17] Tomozaki
    I-I do, huh?
[12:19] Mimimi
    Okay, Brain! Minami Nanami
    expects great things from you!
[12:23] Tomozaki
    I'll do my best...
[12:25] Tomozaki
    Wait—why are we talking about me?!
[12:31] Hanabi
    Okay, we're headed home.
[12:34] Mimimi
    You two are staying?
[12:35] Tomozaki
    We've got work after this.
[12:37] Mizusawa
    And some time to kill.
[12:39] Hanabi
    Thanks for today.
[12:41] Tomozaki
    Sure.
[12:42] Mizusawa
    See you tomorrow.
[12:44] Mizusawa
    So anyway...
[12:45] Mizusawa
    I'm glad Tama stopped fighting
    with Erika. It's the right move.
[12:49] Mizusawa
    If she kept that up, she'd practically be giving
    the class free reign to come after her.
[12:56] Tomozaki
    And all it takes is a shallow excuse
    for "attacks" to become "punishment."
[13:00] Tomozaki
    You see that a lot online.
[13:03] Mizusawa
    So what's the next move?
[13:05] Mizusawa
    You're making headway in character creation,
[13:07] Mizusawa
    are you thinking of ways to break
    down the walls she's put up
[13:12] Mizusawa
    between her and the rest of the class?
[13:13] Tomozaki
    Mmm, it'd be nice to come up with a
    cut-and-dried way to make it all better...
[13:19] Tomozaki
    The key is being able to
    get in a lot of practice
[13:22] Tomozaki
    in a setting where it's okay to fail.
[13:25] Mizusawa
    True enough. Gotta have that safety net.
[13:30] Mizusawa
    Should I invite Takei next time?
[13:33] Tomozaki
    Takei?
[13:34] Mizusawa
    She can mess up with him
    as much as she wants.
[13:38] Tomozaki
    Oh!
SIGN    Takei 
    Read: Right 
    Takei: I'm off to bed!! 
    Read: OK
[13:39] Mizusawa
    I'll let him know.
[13:41] Mizusawa
    But you gotta keep things simple with Takei.
[13:44] Mizusawa
    I'll just say we want him to cheer Tama up.
[13:48] Mizusawa
    And don't tell Shuji.
[13:51] Mizusawa
    Tama plus Shuji equals conflict
    waiting to happen.
[13:56] Mizusawa
    We're better off keeping our
    support for Tama under wraps.
[14:00] Tomozaki
    Ooh, right.
[14:02] Mizusawa
    I could wind up with a target on my
    back just for helping out like this.
[14:08] Tomozaki
    You're something else, Mizusawa.
[14:11] Mizusawa
    What d'you mean?
[14:12] Tomozaki
    It's just... you're a good guy.
[14:15] Tomozaki
    You can do everything, but you're never mean.
[14:20] Mizusawa
    I don't know about that.
[14:22] Mizusawa
    You'll find that I'm
    actually quite the schemer.
[14:25] Tomozaki
    R-Really?
[14:26] Mizusawa
    Like how I came to check on you two earlier.
[14:30] Mizusawa
    I did it in part because I was
    hoping Aoi would be there.
[14:34] Mizusawa
    Me, I'm just another guy
    doing what he wants.
[14:40] Mizusawa
    A certain someone once told
    me that was the way to go.
[14:46] Tomozaki
    Oh...
[14:50] Aoi
    I mean,
[14:51] Aoi
    even if what you're doing
    goes against my own policy,
[14:55] Aoi
    I don't have the right to stop you.
[14:58] Tomozaki
    This is about trying to change Tama, right?
[15:02] Aoi
    If it's what Hanabi herself
    wants, my hands are tied.
[15:07] Aoi
    All I can do is see my own methods through.
[15:13] Aoi
    We'll suspend these meetings
    for the time being.
[15:16] Aoi
    They'll resume once the
    situation has improved.
[15:26] Tomozaki
    Konno's harassment continued
    as usual that day.
[15:30] Tomozaki
    Bumping into Tama's desk,
[15:34] Tomozaki
    trash-talking Tama with her
    minions so as to be overheard...
[15:40] Tomozaki
    And Tama kept on putting up with it.
[15:42] Tomozaki
    The class's mood became even
    more sympathetic toward her.
[15:48] Tomozaki
    But what had me even more curious...
[15:50] Tomozaki
    was what Hinami was doing.
[15:54] Tomozaki
    During every break period, she'd
    casually chat with Mao Kamimae,
[15:57] Tomozaki
    one of Konno's girls.
[16:04] Mizusawa
    Takei said he'd join us
    after soccer practice.
[16:07] Mizusawa
    He's a real dum-dum, so don't
    feel too uptight around him.
[16:11] Mizusawa
    In some ways, he's a little like you.
[16:14] Hanabi
    What? We're nothing alike!
[16:16] Tomozaki
    No, he's right.
[16:18] Hanabi
    Don't take his side!
[16:20] Tomozaki
    He says exactly what's on his
    mind. I'm the same way, too.
[16:26] Tomozaki
    But you know...
[16:28] Tomozaki
    Takei's always been a
    key member of our class.
[16:31] Tomozaki
    What's so different between him and us?
[16:33] Mizusawa
    Could be any number of things, but a big one
[16:36] Mizusawa
    is whether the group is used to you.
[16:39] Tomozaki
    Used to...?
[16:41] Mizusawa
    Remember when we were choosing
    our sports tournament event,
[16:45] Mizusawa
    and Takei wanted to do soccer?
[16:47] Mizusawa
    Everyone just rolled with it 
    all, "Oh, this idiot again."
[16:53] Mizusawa
    But with Tama...
[16:57] Tomozaki
    Right... Even though she was just
    naming her choice of event too...
[17:01] Tomozaki
    the mood got a little weird when she did it.
[17:04] Hanabi
    Yeah, and Minmi came to my rescue.
[17:09] Mizusawa
    Takei has this certain charm, right?
[17:12] ---
    And that's a big part of his character.
[17:15] Mizusawa
    But Tama can be a little prickly,
    and her charm doesn't come across.
[17:21] Hanabi
    I'm not sure about all that...
[17:24] ---
    How am I supposed to be charming?
[17:28] Mizusawa
    Charm is about having a
    consistent vulnerability.
[17:33] Tomozaki
    A consistent vulnerability?
[17:36] Mizusawa
    For example... let's see...
[17:38] Mizusawa
    Liking cheese too much, say.
[17:41] Tomozaki
    Ah!
[17:43] Hanabi
    Like Aoi?
[17:44] Mizusawa
    She's very obvious about her
    lust for cheese: innocent,
[17:49] Mizusawa
    but with an almost exaggerated zeal.
[17:52] Mizusawa
    The people around her say, "Oh, that
    Aoi," and it becomes part of her charm.
[17:57] Tomozaki
    I see...
[17:58] Hanabi
    I wonder if she does that on purpose.
[18:02] Mizusawa
    Who can say?
[18:04] Mizusawa
    Either way, it's food for thought, right?
[18:07] Takei
    Sorry!
[18:08] Takei
    I'm so—
[18:10] Takei
    late!
[18:14] Mizusawa
    See? All charm, this one.
[18:17] Takei
    Sorry, Tama!
[18:19] Takei
    I wish I could've done something to help!
[18:22] Hanabi
    Thanks for thinking of me, though.
[18:24] Takei
    I wanted to stop her, but
    I didn't have the guts.
[18:27] Hanabi
    I get that. Konno's scary!
[18:29] Takei
    She sure is!
[18:31] Takei
    But I think you're totally
    in the right here, Tama.
[18:34] Hanabi
    Oh, yeah? Thanks.
[18:36] Takei
    Don't thank me! I'm apologizing here!
[18:41] Hanabi
    It's fine, it's fine!
[18:42] Takei
    At least you've got people in your corner!
[18:45] Takei
    Me, Yuko... Sakura was
    worried about you, too!
[18:50] Hanabi
    Yuko? Sakura?
[18:52] Takei
    Yuko Ueda and Sakura Kashiwazaki.
[18:55] Takei
    Heck, even Mao was just telling
    Erika, "Rein it in, girl!"
[19:00] Hanabi
    Um...
[19:01] Hanabi
    Who's Mao?
[19:02] Takei
    Mao! Mao Kamimae, Erika's pal!
[19:06] Hanabi
    Really?
[19:08] Takei
    Really!
[19:09] Tomozaki
    Can I ask you something, Tama?
[19:12] Hanabi
    What is it?
[19:12] Tomozaki
    You're not really interested
    in your classmates, are you?
[19:17] Tomozaki
    Their names weren't ringing any bells.
[19:21] Tomozaki
    I was the same way.
[19:23] Tomozaki
    I couldn't care less about any of them.
[19:26] Tomozaki
    But once I started talking
    with all sorts of people,
[19:29] Tomozaki
    I saw that they all had their
    own thoughts and concerns.
[19:33] Tomozaki
    I gradually started taking an interest
    in people other than myself,
[19:36] Tomozaki
    and found myself wanting to know
    specific things about them.
[19:40] Tomozaki
    I noticed that simply asking those
    questions led to natural conversations.
[19:45] Tomozaki
    That's why I do think it's good to
    practice a cheerful speaking style,
[19:51] Tomozaki
    but more than that, I realized it's
    important to take an interest in others
[19:55] Tomozaki
    and work on accepting them.
[19:59] Hanabi
    Yeah...
[20:00] Hanabi
    If I don't care about my classmates...
[20:04] Hanabi
    I can't get along with them.
[20:09] Takei
    Whoa... that was awesome!
[20:12] Takei
    Go, Army Boy-—Tomozaki!
[20:16] Mimimi
    Tama!
[20:17] Mimimi
    I'm here!
[20:19] Mimimi
    Wait...
[20:20] Mimimi
    Now Takei is in the mix?!
[20:22] Takei
    You got that right!
[20:24] Aoi
    Huh? What's all this?
[20:27] Mizusawa
    It's Team Tomozaki, meeting to do
    something about Tama's situation.
[20:32] Tomozaki
    Wait, why is this my team?
[20:35] Mizusawa
    You started this, didn't
    you? Our fearless leader.
[20:39] Tomozaki
    Leader? I mean...
[20:41] Mimimi
    That's our Tomozaki! Brain and leader!
[20:44] Tomozaki
    I don't need any more titles,
    thank you very much.
[20:49] Aoi
    Are you thinking about changing, Hanabi?
[20:52] Hanabi
    Hmm? What's up, Aoi?
[20:54] Aoi
    Oh, sorry. I was just curious.
[20:59] Hanabi
    I am thinking I'd like to change.
[21:02] Aoi
    I see...
[21:04] Hanabi
    Do you think I'm better off not changing?
[21:07] Aoi
    I... I don't want you to.
[21:12] Aoi
    Maybe I just don't want to think
    that facing things head-on
[21:16] Aoi
    is the wrong thing to do.
[21:19] Tomozaki
    Hinami?
[21:20] Aoi
    But I can't make that decision for you.
[21:24] ---
    It's just what I want, that's all.
[21:27] Hanabi
    Thanks for your concern, Aoi.
[21:31] Hanabi
    But I've got Tomozaki and
    the others backing me up.
[21:34] Hanabi
    I think I'm going to give it a solid try.
[21:37] Hanabi
    I'm counting on you, okay?
    Just the tiniest bit, though.
[21:40] Tomozaki
    There's that excessive honesty again.
[21:44] Aoi
    I see. You are two peas in a pod.
[21:50] Aoi
    You've got my support, too!
[21:52] Hanabi
    Thanks, Aoi!
[21:54] Tomozaki
    As I watched Hinami, back to
    being our perfect heroine,
[21:58] Tomozaki
    a thought popped into my head:
[22:01] Tomozaki
    Maybe the expression Hinami revealed
    when she took off her mask
[22:06] Tomozaki
    was just another mask after all.
