***SIGN*** *Comical Psychosomatic Medicine*!
***SIGN*** Episode 17
"Think Proactively About
Painful Things?!"
**[00:04] Himeru**
*Will I be okay? Will I be okay?*
**[00:07] Ryou**
Is it true that Himeru-san
is in trouble again?
**[00:09] Asuna**
Yes, it's like she doesn't even
have time left to think.
**[00:12] Asuna**
She left this coded message.
**[00:14] Ryou**
Huh?
**[00:14] Ryou**
Looks to me like she has lots of time.
***SIGN*** Asuna! Help me!
***SIGN*** Code Hint: Take out the tanuki's "ta"!
**[00:16] Ryou**
Also, this takes the "ta" out
of "tasukete" *(help)*, too...
**[00:18] Asuna**
She started working part-time
at a café recently,
***SIGN*** Now it's "sukete"
*(be see-through)*...
**[00:20] ---**
but it seems like it's not going well.
**[00:22] Ryou**
A café?
**[00:22] Asuna**
Apparently, it's called "Healthy Café"
and focuses on health foods.
***SIGN*** Chinese
***SIGN*** Menmen
Ramen
**[00:26] Ryou**
Health foods?
**[00:27] Asuna**
Oh, this is the place.
***SIGN*** Curry Curry
**[00:29] Ryou**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Jingle Jingle
**[00:31] Guy**
Hey, come on in!
**[00:32] Guy**
Welcome to the Healthy Café.
**[00:35] Ryou**
Why does the staff look
completely unhealthy?!
**[00:36] Ryou**
There's an obvious contradiction here!
**[00:38] Guy**
Table for two.
**[00:40] Himeru**
R-Right!
**[00:41] Ryou**
Ah, Himeru-sa—
**[00:42] Himeru**
Oink.
**[00:44] Ryou**
Someone who could pass for this
café's mascot just showed up!
**[00:46] Himeru**
W-Welcome.
***SIGN*** White Sow Black Sow Pink Sow
***SIGN*** Anxious
Depressed
Scared
**[00:48] Asuna**
She turns into sows of different colors
depending on her stress level.
**[00:51] Ryou**
She becomes a sow, no matter what?!
**[00:53] Himeru**
W-Welcome to Healthy Café Re-examination.
***SIGN*** Re-examination
**[00:57] Ryou**
That name doesn't give a
"healthy" image at all!
**[00:58] Ryou**
Why are you working at a place like this?!
**[01:00] Asuna**
Well, no matter where Onee-chan works,
she's always making mistakes.
**[01:04] Himeru**
So I end up getting fired in the... end.
**[01:07] Ryou**
Oh, you mean in the end, you get fired.
**[01:09] Ryou**
For a second, I wondered where
exactly the fire was going.
**[01:11] Himeru**
Because of that, I can't get
a job at a normal place.
***SIGN*** Manager
**[01:14] Himeru**
Only places like this will hire me.
**[01:16] Ryou**
Why are you working part-time, anyway?
**[01:18] Ryou**
You're already a nurse, aren't you?
**[01:20] Himeru**
Well, I'm embarrassed to say it,
**[01:22] Himeru**
but I was trying to save money
to buy my family a present.
**[01:26] Ryou**
That's not embarrassing at all!
**[01:28] Ryou**
What sort of present?
**[01:29] Himeru**
Uh... It's really embarrassing...
**[01:32] Himeru**
An H doll.
**[01:33] Ryou**
That *is* embarrassing!
**[01:34] Himeru**
Oh, please don't misunderstand!
**[01:36] Himeru**
I mean a hina doll.
***SIGN*** Hina Doll
**[01:37] Himeru**
I was embarrassed to say
it, so I used the initial.
**[01:39] Ryou**
It's even more embarrassing that way!
**[01:41] Himeru**
It's the H Festival, but we
don't even have any H sweets,
***SIGN*** H
Festival
***SIGN*** °Try to figure out what Himeru-chan's saying along with the doctor!
**[01:44] Himeru**
so I wanted to give them an H S-M.
**[01:46] Ryou**
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
**[01:48] Ryou**
Well, still, they did hire you,
so you should work hard...
***SIGN*** The answer will be revealed later!!
**[01:50] Himeru**
But I can't.
**[01:52] Ryou**
Huh?
**[01:52] Himeru**
I keep remembering all the times I got
fired, and I can't concentrate on work.
**[01:56] Himeru**
Because of that, I've made a
lot of mistakes here, too...
***SIGN*** Manager
**[01:58] Himeru**
Thankfully, the manager hasn't
found out yet, but...
**[02:01] Ryou**
Uh, I think he just found out.
**[02:03] Ryou**
So, this time, I'll teach you some
psychological techniques to try
**[02:06] ---**
when you've remembered something painful.
**[02:08] Ryou**
Professor Spera, a psychologist,
told a group of people
***SIGN*** What do I do now?!
**[02:11] Ryou**
who'd been laid off to vent their rage
and frustration for 20 minutes per day.
***SIGN*** Damn that boss who laid me off!
***SIGN*** One Week Later...
**[02:16] Ryou**
Then, one week later,
**[02:17] Ryou**
compared to people who weren't
told to do anything,
**[02:20] Ryou**
the laid-off group clearly
felt more optimistic.
**[02:22] Asuna**
What?!
***SIGN*** A Few Months Later...
**[02:22] Ryou**
And a few more months later,
**[02:24] Ryou**
of the people who weren't told to do
anything, 14% had found new jobs,
**[02:28] Ryou**
but of those who were told
to vent, 53% had new jobs.
**[02:32] Asuna**
It was that different?
**[02:33] Ryou**
Another psychologist, Lumley,
**[02:35] Ryou**
told college students with
stress-related insomnia
**[02:36] [SONG] Girl**
What that teacher said bothered me...
**[02:37] Ryou**
to vent their feelings in a journal.
***SIGN*** They made fun of me today,
and it pissed me off.
**[02:41] Ryou**
The students who did that
earned higher grades
**[02:44] ---**
that semester than students who didn't.
**[02:46] Asuna**
Really?!
***SIGN*** Pant
**[02:47] Grandpa**
I should keep a journal of my feelings, too!
**[02:50] Grandpa**
They made fun of me today,
and it turned me on!
**[02:51] Ryou**
Uh, please keep your carnal
desires locked in your heart.
**[02:53] Ryou**
These activities are called
"emotional disclosure."
**[02:57] Ryou**
Doing things like these actually
makes you feel better.
**[03:00] Ryou**
When you're feeling negative...
***SIGN*** I can't think like this...!
**[03:04] Ryou**
Thinking like this will only make
those feelings harder to escape,
***SIGN*** I need to be stronger...!
**[03:06] ---**
adding to your stress.
**[03:07] Ryou**
It's important to set aside time each day,
***SIGN*** My boss makes me so mad! So mad! So mad...!
**[03:09] ---**
even just 10 minutes, to think
about those negative emotions.
***SIGN*** She won't call me! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!
**[03:12] Ryou**
Don't look away from the
painful feelings inside you.
**[03:16] Ryou**
Pain, sadness, anger...
**[03:18] Ryou**
They are all part of you.
**[03:20] Ryou**
When you can believe that,
you can overcome it.
**[03:23] Asuna**
I understand!
**[03:24] Himeru**
Um, could I take your order now?
**[03:27] Ryou**
You're treating that whole
explanation like idle chit-chat?!
**[03:30] Himeru**
Um, today I recommend...
**[03:33] Himeru**
The "Even if we didn't wash our hands,
it's full of love! Hamburg steaks!"
**[03:36] Ryou**
I'm not eating that!
Forget the love and wash your hands!
**[03:37] Himeru**
And the "Lots of work went into them!
**[03:40] ---**
Egg sandwiches without the
mayo, mustard, or egg!"
**[03:42] Ryou**
Okay, that's just bread slices!
**[03:44] Ryou**
No work went into that at all!
**[03:45] Himeru**
Then how about "Whatever random dish our
fickle chef came up with on a whim"?
**[03:48] Ryou**
That's nothing but whims upon whims!
**[03:49] Ryou**
What's he even going to make?!
**[03:52] Himeru**
It seems our chef went to
play pachinko on a whim.
**[03:54] Ryou**
He even decides whether or
not to work on a whim?!
***SIGN*** *Answer: "It's the (H)ina Festival, but we don't even have any (H)ina sweets,
**[03:57] Ryou**
It doesn't matter. Just bring
whatever lunch set you have.
**[04:00] Himeru**
O-Okay, then, whatever we have...
***SIGN*** so I wanted to give them a (H)ina-(S)a(M)a." Did you figure it out?
**[04:02] Himeru**
Oh, and what would you like to drink?
**[04:04] Ryou**
Oh, I get to choose? Then a co—
**[04:06] Himeru**
Would you like Tabasco or chili oil?
**[04:09] Ryou**
What, did I lose a bet or something?!
**[04:11] Himeru**
We have both in either hot or iced.
**[04:13] Ryou**
Those are the two most
pointless options ever!
**[04:14] Ryou**
Fine! Just bring me iced chili oil!
**[04:16] Himeru**
And would you like lemon or milk?
**[04:18] Ryou**
Hmm, that's a tough decision.
**[04:19] Ryou**
Then I'll have milk chili oil...
**[04:21] Ryou**
Like I'd say that!
**[04:21] Ryou**
What about this place is "healthy," anyway?!
**[04:23] Ryou**
There's not a shred of "healthy" anywhere!
**[04:26] Himeru**
It's actually "Hell See."
**[04:27] Ryou**
See Hell?!
**[04:29] Ryou**
With a menu like this,
anyone would see Hell!
***SIGN*** A Few Days Later...
**[04:32] Himeru**
The café went out of business
before I could be fired.
**[04:35] Ryou**
That shouldn't be a surprise.

work, visit the mental clinic!!
