[09:35] MAMI
    Good evening.
[09:37] MISHIMA
    Mihashi, you made it.
[09:39] MAMI
    I couldn't tell my parents

[09:42] MAMI
    Sorry.
[09:43] MIHARU
    It's okay. I'm glad you're here.
[09:45] MIHARU
    You can stay for another hour, right?
[09:47] MISHIMA
    An hour?
[09:49] MAMI
    Yeah. I have a curfew.
[09:54] MIHARU
    Will Honda-kun make it?
[09:57] MISHIMA
    I'm not sure.

    Let's get the party started.

    Were you nervous?
[10:32] HONDA
    Huh?
[10:33] HONDA
    I guess. I haven't seen him much.
[10:38] MOM
    You're right.
[10:39] MOM
    When's the last time the
    three of us ate together?
[10:42] HONDA
    We didn't talk about family.
[10:45] MOM
    Your stepdad's nervous, too.
[10:47] MOM
    It's hard for him to bring it up.
[10:50] HONDA
    I guess he's being considerate.
[10:52] MOM
    You both are.

    Towa.
[10:57] HONDA
    Huh?
[10:59] MOM
    Were you against me remarrying?

    I've been nothing but trouble.

    Sorry. For the other day, too.

    I—
[17:51] MAMI
    But this is me.
[17:53] MAMI
    I want to because it's important to me.
[17:56] MAMI
    It's weird to be so restrained
    around your family, isn't it?
[17:59] HONDA
    It's not weird!
[18:01] HONDA
    You worry about them because they're family!

    Thanks.

    You're the one who helped me realize
    what's most important to me, class rep.
[18:43] HONDA
    It was you, Mihashi.
[18:49] MAMI
    I was able to realize it because of you, too.
