SIGN    "March"
[02:06] MIHARU
    Sorry for making you worry.
[02:09] MAMI
    It's okay. I'm glad you're feeling better.
[02:12] HONDA
    Seriously. Isn't it a relief, Haruki?
[02:14] MISHIMA
    Yeah.
[02:16] MISHIMA
    Mashiki, I'm glad you're feeling better.
[02:19] MIHARU
    Yeah.
[02:20] HONDA
    You two seem to be getting along.
[02:23] HONDA
    Did we get in the way?
[02:26] MAMI
    Honda-kun.
[02:31] MOM
    Thank you for everything.
[02:33] MOM
    You should have the surgery done
    soon for your friends' sake, too.
[02:37] MIHARU
    Yeah...
[02:38] MOM
    What's wrong?
[02:40] MIHARU
    I have to have surgery, right?
[02:44] MOM
    Yes.
[02:46] MOM
    It'll make you better.
[02:48] MIHARU
    Yeah.
[02:50] MOM
    You can come back when it's over.
[02:52] MOM
    It'll only be for a little while.
[02:53] MISHIMA
    Huh?
[02:55] MOM
    Miharu's being transferred to
    another hospital outside of Tokyo.
[02:58] MISHIMA
    Transferred?
[03:03] MIHARU
    Yeah.
[03:12] HONDA
    I can't believe she's taking time off school.
[03:14] MISHIMA
    She can't help it. It's for her surgery.
[03:19] HONDA
    You're not the only one who
    doesn't want her to go.
[03:33] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    I'll be back.
[03:35] (Flashback) HONDA
    Sure. We'll come with—
[03:41] (Flashback) MAMI
    Say "hi" to Mashiki-san for us.
[03:42] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    Sure.
[03:49] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    Mashi—
[04:03] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    Towa, you go on ahead.
[04:11] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    Mashiki.
[04:13] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    We were thinking about leaving soon.
[04:17] (Flashback) MIHARU
    Thanks for coming again.
[04:18] (Flashback) MIHARU
    Take care.
[04:19] (Flashback) MISHIMA
    We will.
[04:27] HONDA
    I see.
[04:29] MISHIMA
    She's been holding it in this whole time.
[04:33] MISHIMA
    But I couldn't say anything.
[04:38] MISHIMA
    Again.
[04:42] HONDA
    Then tell her.
[04:45] HONDA
    So she doesn't have to
    hide her tears anymore.
[04:48] HONDA
    You're the only one who can do it.
[04:52] HONDA
    You don't have much time.
[04:55] MISHIMA
    Yeah. I know.
[05:33] MISHIMA
    Is this okay?
[05:34] MIHARU
    I'm impressed you knew.
[05:36] MISHIMA
    I remembered.
[05:37] MIHARU
    Thanks.
[05:44] MIHARU
    It's warm.
[06:01] MISHIMA
    So, uh...
[06:03] MISHIMA
    I—
[06:04] NURSE
    Oh, Mashiki-san!
[06:05] NURSE
    Is your mother coming today?
[06:07] MIHARU
    I think she's coming by later.
[06:09] NURSE
    Really? Oh, is this your boyfriend?
[06:12] MIHARU
    What?
[06:13] ---
    He's a friend from school.
[06:15] NURSE
    Huh. Well, have your mother come to
    the nurse's station when she gets here.
[06:20] NURSE
    I have some transfer forms
    for her to fill out.
[06:23] MIHARU
    I will.
[06:24] NURSE
    Bye.
[06:27] MIHARU
    Sorry.
[06:28] MISHIMA
    It's okay.
[06:30] MISHIMA
    How much longer are you staying?
[06:34] MIHARU
    Until the week after next.
[07:06] MIHARU
    That sounds like Mihashi-san.
[07:08] MISHIMA
    And Towa's being Towa.
[07:09] MISHIMA
    He's totally under her thrall.
[07:11] MIHARU
    I envy them.
[07:14] MIHARU
    I wish I could go to school with you, too.
[07:20] MISHIMA
    Yeah.
[07:27] MISHIMA
    Uh, so... about the other day...
[07:35] MISHIMA
    I was thinking about waiting
    until after you got out, but...
[07:44] MISHIMA
    Mashiki?
[07:50] MISHIMA
    I—
[07:51] MIHARU
    You're wrong.
[07:53] MIHARU
    It's not me.
[07:58] MIHARU
    That girl you met a long time ago...
[08:01] MIHARU
    That girl you've always cared for...
[08:05] MIHARU
    It wasn't—
[08:06] MISHIMA
    I know.
[08:08] MIHARU
    Huh?
[08:14] MISHIMA
    The girl I've always had my eye on...
[08:20] MISHIMA
    The Mashiki I know...
[08:23] MISHIMA
    The girl I'm talking to now...
[08:33] MISHIMA
    Is Mashiki Miharu.
[08:43] MIHARU
    I'm scared.
[08:46] MISHIMA
    Of the surgery?
[08:49] MISHIMA
    I heard he's a really good surgeo—
[08:51] MIHARU
    I know. I know, but...
[08:56] MIHARU
    Misora didn't come home.
[09:04] MIHARU
    There's a chance.
[09:06] MIHARU
    There's a chance I won't be
    able to see everyone again.
[09:11] MIHARU
    That we'll never see each other again.
[09:18] MIHARU
    When I think about it, I get scared.
[09:25] MIHARU
    So I can't.
[09:31] MIHARU
    I'm sorry.

    What's going to happen to them?

    What will be, will be.
[12:12] MAMI
    But what about Mashiki-san?
[12:15] HONDA
    He won't give up on her.
[12:18] HONDA
    He's been chasing her this whole time.
[12:20] HONDA
    He won't stop now.
[12:23] HONDA
    That's what I believe.
[12:27] MAMI
    Yeah.
[12:29] MAMI
    Mashiki-san's probably the same way.
[12:34] HONDA
    They'll be fine.

    I've swum so much to make it this far.
