**[00:13] kushi**
Wait!
**[00:18] aya**
* Anthropologist Edward Hall divided*
* personal space into four zones.*
**[00:25] aya**
* One of those is the "intimate space" zone,*
* with the "close phase" therein.*
**[00:31] aya**
* This distance is close enough*
* to embrace someone else,*
**[00:34] aya**
*and many resist intrusion into it.*
**[00:36] stu**
That's way too hard, though!
**[00:38] aya**
*However, there are exceptions.*
**[00:39] ---**
Nah, I kinda like it.
**[00:40] ---**
I like a softer—
**[00:41] aya**
*For instance, Kushida.*
**[00:41] kushi**
Did you see a girl wearing glasses?
**[00:43] aya**
* Even if she gets very close, she manages*
* not to trigger their personal space reaction.*
**[00:50] aya**
*Yet Sakura resisted her.*
**[00:57] aya**
*She's afraid of the connection.*
**[01:02] aya**
*That's why...*
**[01:06] aya**
*she keeps her eyes down.*
**[02:39] sak**
I'm sorry to make you come with me for this.
**[02:44] kushi**
I'm the one who should apologize.
**[02:45] kushi**
I'm the one who broke your digital camera.
**[02:49] sakura**
N-No, I should have been more careful...
**[02:51] stu**
This one's so cute!
**[02:53] aya**
You're going to the electronics store
in the mall to fix your digital camera.
**[02:57] aya**
I understand that much...
**[03:00] aya**
But did you really need me?
**[03:03] sak**
Actually...
**[03:05] man**
Ah, look at that. That's no good.

Do you have your warranty? Your warranty...
**[03:18] kushi**
Did you bring the warranty with you?

Oh, it's within the warranty period.
**[03:28] man**
You could have the faulty part...
replaced... free of charge.
**[03:35] aya**
*I can see why this guy*
**[03:36] aya**
* would be hard for Sakura, who's*
* afraid of strangers, to deal with.*
**[03:40] aya**
*I guess she wanted strength in numbers.*
**[03:44] kushi**
Can you tell us how long it will take?
**[03:46] man**
Two or three days. Yeah, two or three.
**[03:49] man**
Could you fill out this form?

Sakura-san?
**[04:08] sak**
R-Right...
**[04:18] aya**
May I?
**[04:20] aya**
When the repairs are finished,
please contact me instead.
**[04:24] man**
H-Hey, you...
**[04:26] man**
The camera belongs to her, doesn't it?
**[04:31] man**
I'm not sure we can...
**[04:32] aya**
The manufacturer's warranty confirms
the location and date of purchase.
**[04:38] aya**
You confirmed that warranty
a few seconds ago.
**[04:42] aya**
I can't imagine how there
could be a legal issue.
**[04:45] man**
A-Are you sure?
**[04:54] man**
Well, I guess we'll do that, then.
**[04:59] sak**
Um...
**[05:00] sak**
Thank you for your help today.
**[05:03] kushi**
No problem. It was my own fault, anyway.
**[05:06] kushi**
But, Sakura-san, you can talk
normally with us, okay?
**[05:10] kushi**
We are in the same grade.
**[05:12] aya**
Yeah, you've been using all formal language.
**[05:14] sak**
U-Um...
**[05:16] sak**
I... S-Sure. I'll try.
**[05:21] kushi**
No need to force it, either.
**[05:23] sak**
I-I'm okay.
**[05:25] kushi**
Sure.
**[05:27] kshi**
One sec, okay?
**[05:28] kshi**
I'm gonna go freshen up.
**[05:36] aya**
*It's awkward being alone with her.*
**[05:44] aya**
What's wrong, Sakura?
**[05:46] aya**
Is there something you wanted to—
**[05:47] sak**
Um...
**[05:48] sak**
What do you think would
be the best thing to do?
**[05:54] aya**
Regarding Sudo?
**[05:56] aya**
You should do whatever you want to do.
**[05:59] sak**
Whatever I...
**[06:01] aya**
Yeah.
**[06:04] sak**
If I don't say anything,
I think I'll regret it.
**[06:08] aya**
Why are you telling me this?
**[06:10] sak**
Your eyes weren't scary.
**[06:14] aya**
Eyes?
**[06:15] sak**
Sorry. It's hard to explain...
**[06:19] aya**
If you need advice,
Kushida would be more amicable.
**[06:23] aya**
She was today, too.
**[06:27] aya**
*Is it intuition?*
**[06:32] aya**
* She's grateful, but for some reason,*
* she can't fully trust Kushida.*
**[06:37] aya**
*That's what it seems like.*
**[06:41] aya**
You said you would regret it
if you didn't say anything.
**[06:45] sak**
Yes.
**[06:46] aya**
I think that's the only answer you need, then.
**[06:51] aya**
"For Sudo." "For Kushida."
**[06:53] aya**
"For my classmates."
**[06:55] aya**
Throw away all of those thoughts.
**[06:58] sak**
Throw them all... away?
**[07:01] aya**
You don't have to burden
yourself with all of that.
**[07:05] aya**
You should testify for your own sake.
**[07:08] sak**
For my... sake?
**[07:12] aya**
That's enough on its own.
**[07:18] kushi**
Sorry for the wait.
**[07:20] sak**
W-Welcome back.
**[07:22] kushi**
Well, think we should call it a day?
**[07:24] aya**
It is pretty late.
**[07:26] kushi**
Yeah.
**[07:27] kushi**
Can I come by your room later, Ayanokoji-kun?
**[07:31] aya**
Huh?
**[07:34] aya**
Coming in!
**[07:39] aya**
What did you need to come
all the way to my room for?
**[07:42] kushi**
I was actually looking some things
up on the Internet earlier.
**[07:47] kushi**
Does this girl look familiar to you?
**[07:54] aya**
Is this Sakura?
**[07:57] aya**
It's hard to say just from the
face and the build, but...
**[08:01] aya**
This picture was taken in one of our dorms.
**[08:03] kushi**
So it is her!
**[08:05] aya**
And I thought it was strange that
Sakura wore fake eyeglasses, too.
**[08:11] kushi**
They're fake?
**[08:12] aya**
There was no distortion behind the lenses.
**[08:15] kushi**
So she's trying to hide her face?
**[08:18] kushi**
Is that why she wouldn't testify?

It's from Sakura-san.

Let's see...
**[08:26] kushi**
She says she might be able
to help with Sudo-kun!
**[08:30] aya**
I guess going with her today was worth it.
**[08:33] kushi**
I'm glad she decided to trust
us, but I wonder why...
**[08:40] kushi**
Hey.
**[08:42] kushi**
Ayanokoji-kun, isn't there
anything you're trying to hide?

**[09:04] mana**
Oh?
**[09:07] mana**
Class D...
**[09:09] aya**
Huh?
**[09:11] aya**
What is it?
**[09:12] hori**
Did you spend your day off with Kushida-san?
**[09:15] aya**
Yeah, because of the thing with Sakura.
**[09:18] aya**
Though we couldn't get her word that
she would share what she knows.
**[09:22] hori**
I see.
**[09:23] aya**
What's the matter?
**[09:24] hori**
What do you mean, what's the matter?
**[09:26] aya**
Well, you have quite the
expression on your face.
**[09:29] hori**
Really? I don't agree.
**[09:32] hori**
This is how I always look.
**[09:34] hori**
Although I am impressed by how
self-serving you've been lately.
**[09:38] hori**
You hesitate when I ask you for a favor,
**[09:40] hori**
but when Kushida-san asks,
you comply immediately.
**[09:43] hori**
I'm attempting to analyze,
**[09:44] hori**
rationally and carefully, the factors
that account for the difference.
**[09:50] hori**
Well, it doesn't matter.
**[09:52] aya**
It doesn't?
**[09:53] hori**
What's more important is that the
student council's picked the day
**[09:57] hori**
for Sudo-kun's hearing.
**[09:59] aya**
When is it?
**[10:00] hori**
Today after class.
***SIGN*** Student Council Room
**[10:05] tachi**
We will now hold deliberations
regarding the violent incident
**[10:10] tachi**
that occurred last Tuesday.
**[10:12] tachi**
As Student Council Secretary,
I, Tachibana, will preside.
**[10:17] cha**
The student council president,
coming in over a little brawl like this?
**[10:21] cha**
Wonders never cease, I suppose...
**[10:24] mana**
Due to my busy schedule, there are some
agendas I'm forced to miss participating in.
**[10:29] mana**
As a rule, though, I do attend.
**[10:31] cha**
So it's just a coincidence, is it?
**[10:33] mana**
Yes.
**[10:37] aya**
* She wasn't expecting the*
* president to be here.*
**[10:41] aya**
*Horikita can't bring out her full potential.*
**[10:44] tachi**
To both sides: I wish to ascertain which
version of the events is the truth.
**[10:51] tachi**
Is that acceptable?
**[10:52] mana**
Begin.
**[10:55] tachi**
Komiya and the other two,
**[10:57] tachi**
you insist you were called to the special
annex by Sudo and then attacked by him.
**[11:01] tachi**
Sudo denies this. He insists that Komiya
was the one who called him there.
**[11:06] tachi**
Your versions of the
events are contradictory.
**[11:09] ---**
There is only one fact we can be certain of:
**[11:13] ---**
that the aggressor, Sudo,
injured Komiya, Kondo, and Ishizaki.
**[11:20] ---**
They are the victims.
**[11:23] sudo**
I'll admit that I hit them!
**[11:25] sudo**
But they're the ones who started it!
**[11:27] ---**
I don't recall doing that.
**[11:27] aya**
* Having the main discussion*
* be about the injuries*
**[11:28] sudo**
You damn well did!
I was only defending myself!
**[11:30] aya**
* and giving Sudo free rein*
* are both bad for us.*
**[11:33] aya**
Horikita.
**[11:33] sudo**
You just kept running your mouths!
**[11:35] sudo**
You're jealous because I'm on
the list of potential regulars!
**[11:38] sudo**
And at basketball practice,
you always get in my—
**[11:39] tachi**
Silence, please.
**[11:42] tachi**
Without new testimony or evidence,
we will proceed under these assumptions.
**[11:46] tachi**
Is this acceptable?
**[11:56] mana**
It seems there was no need for discussion.
**[11:59] mana**
It's clear from the state of their injuries
that the violence was one-sided.
**[12:04] mana**
I believe I should base my decision on that.
**[12:08] mana**
Class D's insistence that it was
self-defense is contradicted
**[12:11] mana**
by Sudo-kun's lack of injuries,
**[12:13] mana**
and the condition of
Ishizaki-kun and the others.
**[12:20] ---**
Aya—
**[12:20] hori**
What?
**[12:25] hori**
S-Stop it! What are you—
**[12:27] aya**
*When someone's spacing out,*
**[12:29] aya**
* a strong physical stimulus will*
* snap them back to reality.*
**[12:34] hori**
Hey!
**[12:42] aya**
If you don't fight, we're going to lose.
**[12:50] hori**
I beg your pardon.
**[12:52] hori**
I would like to question the witnesses.
**[12:56] hori**
May I?
**[12:57] tachi**
President?
**[12:59] mana**
I'll allow it.
**[13:03] hori**
What were the circumstances under
which Sudo-kun called you out?
**[13:08] hori**
Answer me.
**[13:10] omi**
After practice ended, he said
he wanted to talk to me.
**[13:14] hori**
And what was Ishizaki-kun doing
in the special annex with you?
**[13:18] hori**
He is not in the basketball club.
**[13:21] hori**
There was no reason for him to be there.
**[13:23] omi**
I... wanted insurance.
**[13:26] hori**
Insurance?
**[13:27] omi**
Everyone knows what a violent guy
Sudo-kun is. He's a big guy, too!
**[13:32] hori**
You thought he might attack you, then?
**[13:35] omi**
That's right!
**[13:37] aya**
*That's a prepared response.*
**[13:39] hori**
And so you brought Ishizaki-kun,
who had a reputation as being a
**[13:43] hori**
strong fighter in middle school,
as a bodyguard?
**[13:45] omi**
I did it to protect myself!
**[13:48] hori**
I have some knowledge of martial arts myself.
**[13:52] hori**
Fighting multiple enemies increases
the difficulty exponentially.
**[13:57] hori**
For you to be beaten so one-sidedly,
especially with Ishizaki-kun present,
**[14:01] hori**
makes no sense.
**[14:03] omi**
Well... that's just because
we didn't want a fight!
**[14:07] hori**
If you had no desire to fight,
and you weren't fighting back,
**[14:10] hori**
it's extremely unlikely that
all three of you would be hurt.
**[14:14] cha**
That does sound like common sense.
**[14:17] omi**
Common sense doesn't apply
when Sudo-kun's involved!
**[14:20] omi**
He's an incredibly violent man!
**[14:23] hori**
There was a student who
witnessed the entire fight.
**[14:32] hori**
Would the witness step forward, please?
**[14:40] tachi**
Would the witness please state her name?
**[14:44] sak**
C-Class 1-D, Sakura Airi.
**[14:49] tachi**
Please take your seat.
**[14:52] sak**
Okay...
**[14:58] hori**
Sakura-san.
**[15:01] sak**
I did see it.
**[15:04] sak**
The Class C students attacked Sudo-kun first.
**[15:09] sak**
I'm... sure of it.
**[15:12] saka**
Sakura-kun, was it?
**[15:14] saka**
If you really did see it,
why didn't you step forward sooner?
**[15:19] sak**
Well... because...
**[15:23] saka**
Honestly, you Class Ds...
**[15:26] sak**
I'm just... telling the truth...
**[15:30] saka**
Sakura-kun. Sakura Airi-kun.
**[15:34] saka**
Are you sure you're not being forced
to lie for the sake of your class?
**[15:38] saka**
To save Sudo-kun?
**[15:42] aya**
*That's not good.*
**[15:43] hori**
The fact that Sakura-san is here proves
that she really did witness the incident.
**[15:49] hori**
If she hadn't, she wouldn't be sitting here,
even if we'd asked her to.
**[15:54] hori**
If we just needed someone
to make a statement,
**[15:57] hori**
don't you think I would
have chosen someone else?
**[15:59] saka**
Perhaps you chose to use someone
like her to lend further credibility.
**[16:05] hori**
Credibility?
**[16:06] hori**
Stop twisting everything.
**[16:08] hori**
Sakura-san came here in good faith—
**[16:09] saka**
Stop taking advantage of your well-meaning
**[16:12] saka**
but weak-willed classmates.
**[16:14] hori**
That is not what I'm doing!
**[16:16] saka**
But look at her trembling!
**[16:19] saka**
Don't put any more burden on—
**[16:20] sak**
I have proof!
**[16:23] sak**
I do have... proof!
**[16:26] saka**
Please don't dig this hole any deeper.
**[16:28] sak**
This is proof that I was in
the special annex that day!
**[16:37] mana**
Display it.
**[16:38] tachi**
Okay.
**[16:46] sak**
That day... I was looking for somewhere
deserted to take pictures of myself.
**[16:52] sak**
It's dated, too.
**[16:55] saka**
Dates on a digital camera
can easily be altered.
**[16:58] saka**
It's rather insubstantial, as proof goes.
**[17:00] mana**
But, Mr. Sakagami, this picture is different.
**[17:11] sak**
With this...
**[17:14] sak**
I hope you will believe
that I was there that day.
**[17:18] hori**
Thank you, Sakura-san.
**[17:26] saka**
I see.
**[17:28] saka**
It seems you were telling the
truth about being present.
**[17:32] saka**
But we still don't know who instigated it.
**[17:36] saka**
It doesn't prove that you saw
everything that went down, either.
**[17:40] sak**
But...
**[17:41] saka**
Might I propose a compromise?
**[17:44] cha**
A compromise?
**[17:47] saka**
Despite your pictures,
you have no definitive proof.
**[17:50] saka**
However, it does appear that the Class C
students may bear some responsibility...
**[17:57] saka**
A two-week suspension for Sudo-kun,
**[18:00] saka**
and a one-week suspension for the
Class C students. How about it?
**[18:05] saka**
The difference in punishment is based
on the difference in harm done to them.
**[18:11] aya**
*Without Sakura's testimony and evidence,*
**[18:14] aya**
* Sudo's suspension would*
* have been a month or more.*
**[18:18] aya**
*It is quite a compromise.*
**[18:20] saka**
Ms. Chabashira, what do you think?
**[18:24] cha**
It seems the conclusion
has already been reached.
**[18:29] aya**
*Sakura, you did very well.*
**[18:37] saka**
That's that, then.
**[18:38] saka**
Then, Class D representative Horikita-san,
please tell us your opinion.
**[18:45] hori**
Very well.
**[18:47] hori**
I believe that Sudo-kun, the instigator
of this incident, has a serious problem.
**[18:54] hori**
He never thinks about the trouble that his
daily actions will cause those around him.
**[18:59] hori**
Incidents like this are inevitable.
**[19:01] sudo**
Wh-Why you...
**[19:02] hori**
I want you to realize that it's your
attitude that's at the root of all of this.
**[19:07] hori**
He should reflect,
but not about this incident.
**[19:13] hori**
I mean that he should re-evaluate
the person he has been in the past.
**[19:17] sudo**
Horikita?
**[19:18] hori**
In regards to the incident
we're discussing right now,
**[19:21] hori**
I believe that Sudo-kun is free of guilt.
**[19:30] hori**
Because this was not an unfortunate incident
that just happened to take place,
**[19:35] hori**
but an intentional set-up
instigated by Class C.
**[19:40] hori**
I assert Sudo-kun's complete
innocence in the matter.
**[19:47] saka**
An intentional set-up?
**[19:49] saka**
How funny.
**[19:51] saka**
I think the president's little sister is—
**[19:53] hori**
As the witness testified,
Sudo-kun is a victim.
**[19:56] hori**
Please make the correct judgment.
**[19:59] omi**
We're the victims, Mr. President!
**[20:02] sudo**
Shut the hell up! Listen up—
**[20:09] mana**
As I thought, this was a waste of time.
**[20:12] mana**
Everything you say is completely at odds.
**[20:15] mana**
Which means that one side
is offering false testimony.
**[20:19] tachi**
I agree.
**[20:21] mana**
Let me ask Class C... Can you
say with absolute certainty that
**[20:25] mana**
your testimony here today is the truth?
**[20:28] omi**
Y-Yes, of course!
**[20:30] mana**
What about you, Class D?
**[20:32] hori**
Certainly.
**[20:33] mana**
Then I'll give my judgment tomorrow at 4:00.
**[20:36] mana**
If I receive no proof
of your opponents' lies,
**[20:38] mana**
or admissions of your own guilt by then,
**[20:42] mana**
I'll be putting expulsion
on the table, as well.
**[20:46] mana**
That is all.
**[20:51] aya**
Do we have a chance?

**[20:58] sak**

You're still here?
**[21:20] mana**
When you showed up with Suzune,
I assumed you had some strategy in mind.
**[21:27] aya**
I'm neither Zhuge Liang
nor Kuroda Kanbei.
**[21:32] aya**
I have no strategy.

I guess it's a wild idea, huh?
**[21:41] mana**
It is.
**[21:43] mana**

**[21:51] mana**
Your mask is nothing but a shackle.

I... I only told the truth...
**[22:02] aya**
I believe her.
**[22:06] mana**

**[22:07] mana**
In that case...
**[22:18] mana**
Can you prove it?
**[22:22] aya**
That's a good question.
