Days with My Stepsister When his father remarries, Yuta Asamura winds up sharing a roof with his new stepsister, Saki Ayase, the hottest girl in his grade. Carrying the scars of their parents’ troubled divorces, they vow to maintain a respectful distance. But what starts as cautious camaraderie blossoms into something deeper from shared experiences. Is it admiration, familial love, or something more?

Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:25] Saki     A stepbrother is essentially a stranger. [00:34] Saki     And that's perfectly normal, because even     if we suddenly become siblings one day, [00:38] Saki     we have no shared experience     living together. [00:51] Sign     My Little Sister and I Are In Love [00:54] Yuta     A stepsister is essentially a stranger. [00:59] Yuta     Novels and movies like to indulge [01:01] ---     in the idea that because they     aren't related by blood, [01:03] Yuta     that they can simply fall in love and     have a normal male-female relationship. [01:09] Yuta     But things that happen in fiction and things     that happen in real life are very different. [01:18] Saki     People say that all siblings begin as strangers, [01:22] Saki     but in the case of step-siblings,     they start off as strangers [01:26] Saki     and stay strangers until the very end. [01:40] Sign     Days with My Stepsister [02:49] Sign     Episode 1: I'm Home with a Stranger [02:50] Taichi     Guess what. I've decided to remarry. [02:53] Yuta     Huh? [02:54] Taichi     She's a girl who worked at     a bar my boss took me to. [02:58] Taichi     She took care of me when I was dead drunk. [03:01] Yuta     That sounds like a scam. [03:04] Taichi     Don't worry. Akiko-san     isn't like that at all. [03:09] Taichi     You'll see that when you     meet her tonight, Yuta. [03:12] Yuta     Tonight? [03:13] Taichi     Yeah. Ouch! [03:15] Taichi     I'll introduce you to her. [03:17] ---     We'll meet up after your work. [03:21] Yuta     Another rash decision. [03:30] Taichi     Ow! [03:30] Yuta     Are you ready for that? [03:33] Taichi     Hmm? [03:34] Taichi     What's that now? [03:38] Taichi     Too hot! [03:39] Yuta     As long as it makes you     happy, I'm fine with it. [03:42] Yuta     I'll just keep doing my usual thing. [03:45] Taichi     Your usual thing won't cut it, though. [03:47] ---     You're gonna have a new little sister. [03:50] Yuta     A little sister? [03:51] Taichi     Yeah, a little sister. [03:53] Taichi     Akiko-san's daughter. [04:05] Akiko     Pleased to meet you. I'm Ayase Akiko. [04:08] Akiko     Thanks for coming out. I know     you're busy at your job. [04:11] Yuta     Huh? Oh, it's all right. [04:14] Yuta     I'm the son, Asamura Yuta. [04:19] Akiko     Go ahead and introduce yourself. [04:22] Saki     Nice to meet you. [04:24] ---     I'm Ayase Saki. [04:25] Yuta     Huh? [04:27] Yuta     Dad... [04:28] Taichi     Yeah. Saki-chan is actually     the same age as you. [04:32] Taichi     She's seventeen this year.     Second year in high school. [04:35] Taichi     But your birthday is a week before hers. [04:39] Akiko     I do apologize for the confusion. [04:41] Akiko     Now that she's older, Saki just won't     let me take any pictures of her. [04:46] Saki     Maybe it's just the way I look,     but I'm not very photogenic. [04:54] Saki     But I'm actually pretty relieved. [04:56] Yuta     Huh? [04:57] Saki     Since we're going to start living together, [05:00] ---     I was worried you might be a scary guy. [05:05] Yuta     Oh, I wonder about that. [05:06] ---     Truly scary people often look very kind. [05:10] Saki     I hear you work almost every     day to save up for college. [05:14] Saki     And that you get really good grades. [05:17] Yuta     A lot of criminals are     actually quite intelligent. [05:28] Saki     Hey, before my mom and your dad come out, [05:31] ---     there's something I want to talk about. [05:34] Yuta     Something you don't want them to hear? [05:35] Saki     Yeah. Or more specifically,     something I can only say to you. [05:40] Yuta     Did I really earn your trust     over such a brief time? [05:44] ---     I'm impressed with myself. [05:50] Saki     That sense of humor, the way     you talk, the way you act... [05:55] Saki     none of those things come     off as really intense. [05:59] Saki     So I thought maybe, [06:01] ---     you'd be able to truly     understand what I'm about to say. [06:17] Saki     I don't expect anything from you, [06:21] ---     so I don't want you to expect     anything from me either. [06:26] Saki     You really do understand what I mean by that, right? [06:37] Yuta     That's a relief. [06:42] Yuta     I'm totally relieved. [06:44] ---     For the first time tonight. [06:52] Saki     Yeah, me too. [06:54] ---     For the first time. [06:57] Yuta     Let's maintain this kind of stance     going forward, Ayase-san. [07:02] Saki     Thank you, Asamura-kun. [07:11] Taichi     Yuta? [07:13] ---     Have you seen the spray? SIGN    June 7 (Sunday) [07:15] ---     The one for odors? [07:16] Yuta     It's next to the TV. [07:18] ---     You left it there after using     it on the curtain yesterday. [07:20] Taichi     Oh, I did? Oh. [07:24] Taichi     Thanks. [07:26] Yuta     Why are you acting so nervous at this point?" [07:28] Taichi     Well, I put off cleaning the bedroom,     but once I started I began to worry. [07:34] Taichi     It'd be a real downer if     she tells me it stinks. [07:36] Yuta     You're so sensitive. [07:37] Taichi     Hey, when you're my age, this sort     of thing is a critical issue! [07:43] Taichi     Yuta! [07:44] Yuta     Yeah. [07:49] Akiko     I brought a few things to say     thank you for your hospitality! [07:54] Yuta     Oh. [07:56] ---     Um... [07:57] Saki     You don't need to worry about it. [07:59] Saki     My mom can never say no, so she bought     everything that they recommended to her. [08:04] Akiko     Hold on, Saki. [08:05] ---     That makes it sound like     I'm a failure as an adult. [08:08] Saki     But it's true, right? [08:12] Akiko     Hmm, what a lovely citrus scent! [08:15] Saki     You actually keep things pretty clean. [08:17] Yuta     We've spent the last few     days cleaning like— [08:19] Akiko     It's just like Taishi-san told me. [08:21] ---     You really are very neat and tidy! [08:24] Yuta     They say that to develop a healthy mind, [08:26] ---     you must first develop a healthy environment. [08:29] Yuta     Cleaning to eliminate every last speck     of dust is an Asamura family tradition. [08:34] Saki     Sounds like a kind of ominous     family tradition to me. [08:37] Akiko     Taishi-san is such an impressive man! [08:40] Taichi     Yeah, I'm okay. I can do this. Here I go! [08:43] Taichi     Hey! Akiko-san! Saki-chan! [08:50] Taichi     Welcome to our humble home! [08:53] Taichi     F-From now on, let's all live     happily under the same roof! SIGN    Asamura / Ayase [09:06] Akiko & Saki     Thank you very much! [09:12] Yuta     It's right over here. [09:14] Yuta     We've prepared a bed and curtains for you, [09:17] Yuta     but weren't sure what colors you like,     so we can change them if necessary. [09:21] Yuta     We placed the desk near the window for now. [09:25] ---     If you'd like to move it, please let us know. [09:28] Saki     Thanks. [09:29] ---     It's a big room. [09:31] Yuta     Oh, I think it's quite average. [09:35] Saki     My old place was a worn-out apartment. [09:38] ---     One six-tatami room. [09:40] Saki     I didn't even have my own bedroom. [09:42] Yuta     I see. [09:43] ---     So did you both put down futons and     sleep in the same room... perhaps? [09:47] Saki     No. My mom worked at night, so we     were living on opposite schedules. [09:52] Saki     When I slept, I had the place to myself. [09:54] Yuta     Huh. [09:56] ---     But I'm sure that was     comfortable in its own way. [10:00] Yuta     I apologize that you now have     to share a home with two men. [10:04] Saki     I don't care about that, [10:06] ---     but there is one thing. [10:09] Yuta     What might that be? [10:11] Saki     That. [10:13] Saki     Why are you talking so polite to me? [10:17] Yuta     Why? Well, that's... [10:19] Saki     We're the same age, so why     can't you loosen up a bit? [10:23] Yuta     It might be exactly because     we're the same age. [10:26] Saki     But I mean, if you're talking     to classmates and friends, [10:29] Saki     isn't it weird to talk that     formally all the time? [10:32] Yuta     Maybe from a winner's point of view. [10:35] Saki     You think so? [10:37] Saki     I'm not in any position to criticize you, [10:41] ---     but if you're just trying to be nice to me, [10:44] Saki     I don't need that at all. [10:46] Yuta     That's not exactly what I'm... [10:53] Yuta     But this seems like something we should     be absolutely clear on, so I'll ask, [10:59] Yuta     would you actually prefer that I     drop the formal language with you? [11:05] Saki     Yeah. To be honest, I think casual     talk is a lot more relaxing. [11:11] Saki     I'm not really someone who deserves     that much respect anyway. [11:17] Yuta     Okay. [11:19] Yuta     Then I'll drop the formalities. [11:21] Saki     Just like that, huh. [11:24] Yuta     It might be tough for me to treat     you the same as a close friend, [11:27] Yuta     but I appreciate you being real     with me and keeping things simple. [11:31] Yuta     It's easier for me too. [11:33] Saki     Sure. [11:38] Saki     That's exactly what I expected. [11:40] Saki     It's kind of a big help if we can     smooth things out this easily. [11:45] Yuta     Smooth things out, huh. [11:47] ---     That's a good way of putting it. [11:50] Saki     When I talked to my friends about     this at school, they laughed at me. [11:53] Saki     "What is that, some kind of contract?" [11:56] ---     They wouldn't take me seriously at all. [11:59] Yuta     That must've been tough. [12:03] Saki     Yeah. [12:04] ---     So I cut ties with all but one of them. [12:07] Yuta     Sorry to hear that. [12:09] Saki     It's okay. [12:10] ---     I only cut off people who weren't     worth keeping around anyway. [12:14] Saki     I can't read their minds. [12:16] ---     And if they never make any     effort to try to tell me, [12:19] Saki     I can't go tiptoeing around     their feelings all the time. [12:21] ---     It's a waste of time. [12:26] Yuta     Want some help unloading your luggage? [12:34] Saki     That's really kind of you. [14:03] Sign     Asamura / Ayase [14:04] Yuta     Oh, wait. [14:07] Yuta     Ayase-san, do you go to Suisei? [14:09] Saki     Yeah, I do. [14:11] Saki     Are you surprised that a flashy     girl like me goes to prep school? [14:15] Yuta     Uh, no... [14:17] ---     Actually I go there too. [14:20] Saki     Oh. [14:21] Yuta     Sorry about that. [14:24] Saki     You don't have anything to apologize for. [14:27] Yuta     But at school, I'll do my best     to pretend I don't know you. [14:33] Saki     I don't care. [14:34] ---     I'm fine either way. [14:39] Saki     Then again, it might actually be better     for you if we do that, Asamura-kun. [14:44] Yuta     Huh? Do you mean... [14:49] Yuta     Sorry. Um... [14:51] Saki     Just answer it. [14:52] ---     It doesn't bother me if     you talk on the phone. [14:56] Yuta     Thank you. [15:01] Yuta     Hello? [15:03] Yuta     Ah, yes. Sure. [15:07] Yuta     Oh, today? [15:11] Sign     Staff Asamura [15:14] Shiori     Hey there, my junior coworker. [15:14] Sign     Staff Yomiuri [15:16] Shiori     I noticed that you've been     smelling of girl all day long. [15:19] Yuta     Huh? [15:20] Shiori     Did you get a girlfriend or something? [15:22] Yuta     Don't be ridiculous. [15:25] ---     But do I really smell? [15:27] Shiori     Yeah, it's really strong. [15:28] Shiori     How much snuggling would it take     to pick up that much of an odor? [15:32] Yuta     I think I should be leaving early. [15:34] Shiori     Aww, I didn't mean it!     Don't leave me here alone! [15:39] Yuta     I was just kidding anyway. [15:42] Shiori     You told me before, right?     About your new little sister. [15:45] Shiori     I figured she must have moved in by now. [15:47] ---     And... so? Is she cute? [15:49] Yuta     She's actually... quite beautiful. [15:52] Shiori     Whoo-hoo! [15:54] Shiori     Living with a beautiful woman, huh. [15:56] ---     It's the springtime of your life. [15:58] Yuta     Not a thing is going to happen. [16:00] Shiori     Something naughty might happen though, right? [16:03] Yuta     You have a habit of blurting     out bad dad jokes. [16:06] ---     You might want to fix that. [16:08] Shiori     After going to an all-girls middle school,     high school, and college, I can't help it. [16:12] Yuta     What an awful way to slander girls' schools. [16:17] Yuta     But to be honest, [16:19] ---     it isn't really the time for me to     be entertaining thoughts like that. [16:22] Shiori     Hmm? [16:24] Yuta     It stresses me out. [16:26] ---     How are we supposed to act     as brother and sister? [16:32] Shiori     Well for you, junior, it's probably     best if you just act naturally. [16:37] Shiori     Good evening! [18:04] Yuta     Uh... [18:06] Yuta     I'm home. [18:07] Saki     Ah... Mm-hmm. [18:11] Saki     Oh, sorry. [18:13] ---     Nobody's really said "I'm home" to me before, [18:18] Saki     so I wasn't sure how to respond. [18:25] Saki     You've got a serious look on your face. [18:30] Saki     Don't worry about it. [18:31] ---     It's not like I was treated     really badly or anything. [18:40] Saki     My mom would come home when I was at     school to sleep and do housework, [18:46] Saki     and she'd be at work by the time I got home. [18:50] Saki     That was just our normal routine. [18:57] Yuta     It seemed like you two get along. [18:59] Saki     Huh? Oh. Well, we are family. [19:06] Saki     Today we went shopping for the     first time in a long while. [19:09] ---     It was pretty fun. [19:13] Yuta     Really? [19:14] Saki     Yeah. [19:17] Yuta     You haven't taken a bath yet, right? [19:19] Saki     No. [19:21] Yuta     Who should go first? [20:07] bath control panel     The bath is now filling with water. [20:17] bath control panel     The water temperature has been changed. [20:46] Saki     Yeah? [20:49] Yuta     I'm done. [20:51] Yuta     The bath is all yours. [20:55] Saki     Mm-hmm. [20:59] Yuta     Good night, Ayase-san. [21:02] Saki     Thank you. [21:05] ---     Good night, Asamura-kun. [21:26] Sign     Days with My Stepsister [23:07] Saki     Oh. [23:22] Saki     Huh?

Did you sleep all right? [00:51] Saki     Yeah. Thanks for the fresh bathwater. [00:55] Yuta     Oh, sure. [00:56] Saki     The water was perfect. I appreciate it. [01:00] Yuta     Sure. [01:01] Saki     But you don't have to do it again tonight. [01:03] Yuta     Huh? [01:04] Saki     It's a waste of water. [01:08] Saki     Okay, I'm off to school. [01:10] Yuta     Oh... Okay. [02:56] student     Yo, did you see that horror movie? [02:58] student     Yeah, I did! [02:59] student     Really? [02:59] student     The one everybody's talking about?

SIGN    Episode 2 "A Deal and a Fried Egg" [03:04] student     I'm not really into horror movies, though. [03:06] student     Jeez, dude... [03:13] Maru     Give it up, man. [03:15] Yuta     Maru. [03:15] Maru     Ayase, right? I know it's not cool to     interfere in someone else's love life, [03:20] Maru     but I'd advise against it. [03:22] Yuta     It's not like that. [03:24] Yuta     I'm not good enough for     a babe like her, anyway. [03:28] Maru     You got it backwards. If you went out     with Ayase, it'd make you look bad. [03:31] Yuta     What do you mean? [03:33] Maru     Well, let's just say I've heard     some unpleasant rumors. [03:36] Yuta     Rumors? [03:39] Maru     That she's a working girl.     You know, selling herself. [03:43] Yuta     Huh?! [03:44] Maru     She's got blonde hair, pierced ears, [03:47] Maru     and a nasty look on her face     that always keeps people away. [03:50] Maru     It sounds like she's a troublemaker     who doesn't really fit in with her class. [03:54] Maru     Some people even swear they've     seen her leaving the love hotel district. [03:58] Yuta     It's not like you to believe     rumors so easily, Maru. [04:02] Maru     One of the guys in the     baseball club asked her out. [04:06] Maru     Want to know what she told him?     "I'm just as bad as the rumors say." [04:11] Maru     "I have no intention of dating anyone." [04:13] Yuta     Maybe he was just mad     over being shot down? [04:16] Maru     I doubt it. [04:17] Maru     I keep hearing the same story     from guys in other clubs, too. [04:21] Yuta     Each claim by itself is hearsay, but when     they start to pile up, it sounds true, huh? [04:27] Maru     Yeah, basically. [04:33] Yuta     Pandora... [04:34] Maru     Anyway, how's it going? [04:36] Yuta     Huh? [04:37] Maru     You've got a new little sister now, right, bro? [04:40] Yuta     Ah... yeah. [04:44] Maru     Crap. Gotta go change. [04:46] Yuta     Huh? Oh, right. [04:51] Maaya     Okay, here I go! [04:53] Maaya     My secret weapon, the Great Celestial Serve! [04:55] Maaya     Take... that! [04:58] Yumi     Whoa! [05:00] girl student 1     Double fault. [05:01] Yumi     Hey, where were you aiming, Maaya? [05:05] Maaya     Sorry 'bout that! [05:06] Yumi     Jeez. Why'd you have to hit it so hard? [05:09] Maaya     Because it looks cooler that way! Tee-hee! [05:11] Yumi     "Tee-hee," my butt, you little punk! [05:14] Maaya     Hey! Wait, wait! [05:16] Yumi     Now I gotcha! [05:16] Maaya     I'm anti-violence! [05:18] Yumi     Oh, yeah? Time for tickle torture! [05:22] Maaya     I give, I give! [05:24] Maaya     Please forgive me! [05:26] Yuta     You skipping? [05:27] Maaya     I regret my actions! [05:29] Saki     You scared me. Why are you talking to me here? [05:29] Yumi     Do it right this time, okay? [05:32] Maaya     But I am! I have been from the start! [05:33] Yuta     When someone I know is skipping, I get worried. [05:35] Yumi     No, you aren't! [05:37] Maaya     All right! [05:37] Saki     So the big brother wants to     lecture his little sister, huh? [05:38] Yumi     Okay, come on! [05:40] Maaya     There! [05:42] Yuta     I'm not in any position     to be lecturing anyone. [05:45] Yuta     But I didn't know you'd picked tennis, too. [05:46] Yumi     Aw, come on! Where are you hitting it? Jeez. [05:49] Saki     Maaya said we should pick the same sport. [05:52] Maaya     One more time! [05:53] Saki     Of course, that wasn't my only reason. [05:54] Yumi     Okay. [05:56] Maaya     Here it comes! [05:57] Yuta     You mean Narasaka-san, right?     You two are friends? [05:58] Yumi     Hey! Again with that? Jeez! [06:01] Saki     We are. Although I think Maaya's     pretty much friends with everyone. [06:07] Yuta     You might be right. [06:08] Saki     Why did you pick tennis, Asamura-kun? [06:13] Yuta     It wasn't a very admirable reason. [06:16] Saki     I don't mind. My other reason     is pretty pathetic, too. [06:22] Yuta     Because there aren't any team matches. [06:26] Yuta     I don't like depending on anyone     or anyone depending on me. [06:30] Saki     Huh. We really do think alike. [06:34] Yuta     How about you? [06:35] Saki     I didn't want to play a team     sport in the first place. [06:39] Saki     I usually try to keep my     distance from everyone. [06:42] Yuta     Do you, maybe... have trouble     fitting in with your class? [06:46] Saki     You surprised? [06:47] Yuta     Well, I always imagined that stylish girls     like you would be the center of attention. [06:52] Saki     I don't really mind it, though. [06:55] Saki     If people leave me alone,     that just gives me more time to myself. [07:02] Yuta     Like time to listen to music? [07:04] Saki     Huh? [07:05] Saki     Oh. [07:07] Saki     Yeah, I guess. [07:12] Akiko     Oh, Yuta-kun! [07:14] Yuta     Ah, I just got back. [07:16] Akiko     Welcome home. I made dinner for you. [07:20] Yuta     Thank you very much. [07:23] Yuta     Sorry to make you do all that before work. [07:25] Akiko     What are you talking about?     You don't need to worry about that. [07:29] Yuta     But dealing with customers     must be exhausting... [07:32] Saki     Well, I do deal with customers,     but I'm actually the bartender. [07:37] Yuta     Oh, is that right? [07:40] Akiko     I'd better get going. Let's talk about     dinner arrangements another time. [07:44] Yuta     Ah, all right. [07:46] Akiko     Please keep an eye on Saki for me. [07:49] Yuta     Sure. [07:52] Akiko     Well, I'm off. [07:54] Yuta     See you later. [08:10] Yuta     Welcome home. [08:22] Yuta     You can come in. [08:28] Saki     I'm home. [08:29] Yuta     Huh? [08:30] Yuta     Oh, right. Welcome back. [08:35] Saki     Oh, were you studying? [08:37] Saki     This is bad for your eyes. [08:39] Yuta     Thanks. [08:41] Saki     You're able to juggle work and school? [08:44] Yuta     Is that really so strange? [08:50] Saki     Listen... [08:52] Saki     Do you know any easy part-time     jobs that pay really well? [08:57] Saki     I need more money, but I don't     want to waste a lot of time. [09:02] Saki     Maybe like an hour or two of     work for 10,000 yen or more. [09:06] Saki     Think that's doable? [09:07] Yuta     Uh, well, I don't think you'll find     any normal jobs like that. [09:12] Saki     Really? I guess I gotta keep selling, then. [09:16] Yuta     Selling?! [09:17] Saki     I read in a book that if you want to make     good money, you should sell yourself. [09:24] Yuta     This might be really rude to say, but... [09:28] Saki     I don't mind. Go ahead.     I'm the one who asked, anyway. [09:32] Yuta     I think you should take     better care of your body. [09:38] Saki     I already take good care of myself. [09:41] Saki     That's exactly why I want     to earn lots of money. [09:47] Yuta     Would you be able to say     that in front of your mom? [09:51] Saki     Sure. [09:52] Saki     It'd probably make her happy.     She'd be like, "You've really grown up!" [09:55] Yuta     What a way to raise your kid... [09:58] Saki     It wasn't like that for you? [10:00] Saki     Wasn't your father thrilled     when you first got into it? [10:05] Yuta     If he was, that'd be a huge problem. [10:08] Yuta     But wait, why are you talking     like I'm doing it, too? [10:13] Saki     Didn't you say something     about a job yesterday? [10:17] Yuta     Huh? [10:20] Yuta     I'm so sorry! I really am! [10:23] Saki     Don't worry about it.     Your food's getting cold. [10:27] Saki     I'm not surprised you      were confused about that. [10:29] Saki     I know what people think.     I know they wonder why I dress like this. [10:34] Saki     It's my armed mode. [10:36] Yuta     Huh? [10:37] Saki     For me, these clothes are the armaments     that help me survive in society. [10:43] Yuta     Oh... [10:44] Yuta     So do they raise your defense stats? [10:46] Yuta     Or let you dual attack or something? [10:50] Saki     You're pretty funny. [10:52] Yuta     Am I? [10:54] Saki     I mean, I guess that's more or less right. [10:58] Saki     We face battles all the time.     Even if you don't see it. [11:04] Saki     Did you see my mom today? [11:07] Yuta     Yeah. [11:08] Saki     Doesn't she look pretty when she goes to work? [11:11] Yuta     Well... yeah. She sure does. SIGN    Saki and Yuta-kun,     Heat this up and eat it together, okay? [11:16] Saki     You know, she only graduated high school. [11:19] Yuta     Oh, really? [11:22] Saki     Doesn't that bother you? [11:24] Yuta     No, not really. [11:25] Saki     Huh. You sure are level-headed, Asamura-kun. [11:31] Saki     I've heard plenty from people     who aren't so neutral. [11:34] Saki     A beautiful woman with a high school     education who works in nightlife... [11:38] Saki     People say she's just stupid and     weaponizes her looks for everything. [11:44] Saki     I've heard people say that     about my mom so many times. [11:49] Yuta     That's nonsense. [11:50] Saki     Right? It really is. [11:54] Yuta     Yeah. [11:55] Saki     And it's so dirty when people try to     use that kind of logic to corner you. [12:01] Yuta     How do you mean? [12:02] Saki     If you're smart but not pretty,      they label you a snobby, overeducated woman. [12:07] Saki     If you have good looks but aren't smart, [12:09] Saki     they say you're a gold digger     who's using her body to get ahead. [12:12] Saki     If a pretty woman relies on a man,     they say she's a parasite who has it easy. [12:17] Saki     But if she works hard for herself, they call     her a pathetic loser with no man to rely on. [12:22] Yuta     I see what you mean. [12:25] Saki     So anyway, that's why I arm     myself with these clothes. [12:29] Saki     I need my look to be perfect     to make me stand out [12:33] Saki     before I have the strength to be     perfect at school and work, too. [12:38] Saki     This is the first step. [12:43] Yuta     Are you okay with that?     It sounds utterly exhausting. [12:47] Saki     Even if it takes tons of energy, as long     as I can prove them wrong, it's worth it. [12:52] Yuta     Prove them wrong, huh? [12:54] Yuta     But who? [13:09] Saki     Aren't you like me, too? [13:16] Yuta     I'm not as strong as you are. [13:20] Saki     But deep down, [13:22] Saki     you don't want anyone relying on you     or to rely on anyone else, right? [13:27] Saki     If you want to free yourself     of those expectations, [13:29] Saki     you need to be strong enough     to get by in life alone. [13:34] Yuta     Is that why you're looking for a job? [13:38] Yuta     So you can live independently,     without relying on anyone else? [13:43] Saki     Correct. [13:46] Saki     I'm sorry. [14:00] Yuta     That was good. [14:02] Yuta     I'll see if I can get you     some info about jobs. [14:04] Saki     Huh? [14:05] Yuta     My senpai at work might have some ideas. [14:08] Yuta     I'll ask her tomorrow. [14:09] Saki     Thanks. [14:11] Saki     But I don't want to make you     do everything for me. [14:14] Yuta     It's all right. [14:16] Saki     No, it isn't. At least not to me. [14:24] Yuta     Okay, how about miso soup? [14:27] Saki     Huh? [14:28] Yuta     I want you to make me miso soup every day. [14:32] Saki     Is that your idea of a love confession? [14:33] Yuta     Uh, no. That's not what I meant. [14:37] Yuta     But today was the first time in years     I had miso soup that wasn't instant. [14:42] Yuta     It was really delicious. [14:45] Yuta     But I know Akiko-san has to work,     so that'd be asking a lot of her... [14:51] Saki     Fine by me. [14:54] Saki     I don't really mind cooking. [14:59] Yuta     I'll look for job leads to help you     become independent, Ayase-san. [15:04] Saki     Okay. And I'll cook for you, Asamura-kun.

[15:34] Saki     I figured I might as well make breakfast, too. [15:38] Saki     It's my personal policy     to give more than I take. [15:43] Yuta     I see. SIGN    Asamura Ayase [15:47] Taichi     Saki-chan, thanks for breakfast! [15:48] Taichi     It was delicious! I'm so impressed! [15:51] Taichi     I'm off now! [15:54] Saki     You don't like it?

[16:09] Saki     We've always used salt and pepper. Sorry. [16:13] Yuta     It's fine! You had no way of knowing. [16:16] Yuta     It's my fault for not telling you. [16:20] Saki     From now on, I'll try to ask ahead of time. [16:23] Yuta     Okay. I'll try to keep you informed     about stuff, too. [16:27] Saki     Okay.

[16:49] Yuta     Now that I have a little sister at my age, [16:52] Yuta     living at home might get a little cramped.     Especially since we're the same age. [16:57] Shiori     I can understand wanting to live on your own, [17:00] Shiori     but it isn't actually     because of your sister, right? [17:03] Yuta     It isn't? [17:06] Shiori     Well, I guess it could be,     but it just seems like a waste. [17:09] Shiori     Having a sister your age     could be a great asset! [17:28] Shiori     If you can't get by on your own, I think     it's perfectly fine to rely on someone else. [17:38] Yuta     Even if I become a burden on them? [17:41] Shiori     You know, some people actually     prefer women who are a burden. [17:46] Yuta     Well, that's just personal preference. [17:49] Shiori     It definitely is.

[02:40] Akiko     Actually, if you don't mind, Yuta-kun,     I'd be happy to do all the laundry myself. [02:47] Yuta     What? No, I can't make you do that. [02:51] Saki     A lot of the fabrics are super delicate.     Do you know how to use a laundry bag? [02:56] Yuta     Laundry bag? [02:57] Akiko     It's made of mesh netting to     protect the clothes from damage. [03:02] Yuta     Damage? Huh? [03:04] Saki     It's hard to explain, so we'll do it ourselves. [03:07] Yuta     Oh, okay. [03:09] Akiko     I'll wash Taichi-san's underwear.     Should I wash yours, too, Yuta-kun? [03:15] Yuta     Huh? [03:24] Saki     Wait. [03:27] Saki     I'll go with you. [03:31] Saki     I apologize. [03:33] Yuta     Huh? [03:34] Saki     I realize there's a possibility that     you prefer women's underwear. [03:40] Saki     It's not out of the question. [03:42] Yuta     Huh? [03:43] Saki     Even though I've always     rejected rigid gender roles, [03:48] Saki     I just assumed you didn't know     how to do the laundry. [03:50] Yuta     Ayase-san? [03:51] Saki     I've never seen you with     lipstick or foundation on, [03:54] Saki     but you might be the type who     only likes to doll up in private. [03:58] Yuta     Hold on. Calm down for a second, Ayase-san. [04:01] Saki     Huh? [04:12] Saki     I've calmed down. [04:14] Yuta     Okay. [04:15] Saki     Even if you're interested in cross-dressing, [04:17] Saki     it doesn't have to mean you actually do it. [04:22] Yuta     I don't cross-dress, and I don't put     makeup on when no one's looking. [04:26] Saki     But your eyebrows are shaped really nicely. [04:30] Yuta     Huh? [04:31] Saki     You must get them done, right?     Do you go to a salon? [04:34] Yuta     A barber shop. [04:35] Saki     Huh? You mean your eyebrows     are totally natural? [04:39] Yuta     Well, yeah. [04:41] Saki     I'm kind of jealous. [04:47] Saki     Don't you think it's hard to force all     sexual difference into just two categories? [04:51] Yuta     Huh... Yeah, I guess so. [04:54] Saki     But earlier, in the moment,     that thought didn't even cross my mind. [05:02] Yuta     I'm really not worried about it. [05:05] Saki     Thanks. I appreciate it. [05:08] Saki     But I can't forgive myself. [05:11] Saki     That's why I wanted to apologize. [05:18] Yuta     Sometimes we do things reflexively. [05:20] Saki     Reflectively? Like light? [05:22] Yuta     No, not that. I'm talking      about conditioned reflexes. [05:26] Saki     Oh... [05:28] Yuta     I think sometimes you say or do things     on instinct and can't really help it. [05:35] Yuta     I'm sure the ability to react reflexively     like that is useful in certain situations. [05:40] Saki     But still, prejudice leads to discrimination. [05:47] Yuta     That's why we need to reexamine things. [06:00] Yuta     Ayase-san, you've already reexamined     and reflected on what you did earlier. [06:05] Yuta     Once you've done that, I don't think     you need to keep worrying about it. [06:12] Yuta     Personally...

[07:31] Yuta     Uh, I've got work today. SIGN    You were looking, weren't you? [07:46] Saki     So your eyes were drawn to     the hanging undergarments, [07:50] Saki     which is why, when I startled you,     you up and ran. [07:55] Saki     Did you think I might've thought you     were about to go in and steal them? [07:59] Yuta     Well... I guess. [08:02] Saki     Even though they're your little sister's? [08:04] Yuta     Well, yeah. I'm aware of that. [08:09] Saki     Sorry. That was a little unfair. [08:12] Yuta     Huh? [08:13] Saki     Here. Have some cocoa. [08:16] Saki     Don't want it? I can take it back. [08:18] Yuta     No, that's okay. I'll take it. [08:24] Saki     I guess this makes us even now. [08:27] Yuta     Huh? [08:28] Saki     Your eyes being drawn to my underwear     is another kind of reflexive reaction. [08:34] Saki     But I don't think you're the type who can't      reflect on and learn from what you've done. [08:43] Yuta     Well, that's a relief. [08:46] Saki     So does this mean my underwear was      tempting enough to you to catch your eye? [08:52] Yuta     I didn't say that. [08:54] Saki     So it wasn't tempting at all? Huh. [08:58] Yuta     Are you teasing me right now? [09:01] Saki     Oh, I wonder. [09:03] Saki     But you can't say the thought of stealing     my underwear didn't cross your mind, right?

[15:27] Saki     I'm a little annoyed that he believed     the rumors about me, [15:32] Saki     but I can't really blame him. [15:36] Saki     I know how people see me.

[19:37] Saki     My mom started working     twice as hard to provide for me, [19:43] Saki     but he didn't seem to like that, either. [19:50] Saki     He'd say to her,     "You're nothing but a sex worker." [19:56] Saki     "You use your body to get customers."     Really degrading stuff. [20:01] Saki     I understand he was going through a lot, [20:05] Saki     but that didn't make it okay     to take it out on my mom. [20:14] Yuta     I completely agree. [20:15] Saki     Huh? [20:17] Yuta     Uh, well... that's kind of like     what happened to us, too. [20:22] Yuta     After my mom cheated on my dad, [20:25] Yuta     he became kind of paranoid     of women for a while. [20:28] Saki     Your dad did? [20:37] Saki     And maybe you did, too? [20:45] Saki     You and I have a lot in common. [20:50] Saki     Even the broken parts.

[22:06] Saki     It was actually Asamura-kun's idea. [22:09] Saki     He really is considerate of others. [22:24] Saki     That's exactly why I shouldn't     call him "big brother." [22:31] Saki     The moment I start calling him that, [22:33] Saki     I'll probably start depending     on him for everything. [22:38] Saki     I absolutely can't let myself do that.

SIGN    Thursday, July 16th [00:47] Yuta     We simply became siblings one day [00:51] Yuta     because our parents suddenly     decided to get married. [00:54] Yuta     We don't have the sense of kinship     that a genetic connection provides, [00:58] Yuta     nor do we have any shared     experience living together. [01:02] Yuta     It's not complicated.     We're obviously strangers. [01:07] Yuta     It's just that... [01:10] Yuta     Now that it's been a month since     Dad and Akiko-san got married [01:14] Yuta     and the four of us, including     her daughter, began living together, [01:18] Yuta     I'm starting to realize that my     stepsister, this "stranger," [01:22] Yuta     actually occupies a much     more ambiguous position. [01:27] Yuta     She's a stranger I share a home with now. [01:31] Yuta     I think it's probably fair to call her that. [01:34] Yuta     But then, when I ask myself     what our relationship is...

SIGN    Asamura Ayase [03:44] Yuta     What was your score? [03:46] Saki     I got a 38. [03:48] Yuta     Wow, that's pretty impressive. [03:52] Saki     I had a feeling that's how it would go. SIGN    Episode 4 "Tendencies and Strategies" [03:55] Saki     I've never been very good at lit,     so I expected to fail this time, too. [04:00] Yuta     Even though you get high     scores in other subjects? [04:03] Saki     I can never really understand how     the characters feel and all that stuff. [04:09] Yuta     That's not what I was expecting. [04:11] Yuta     You seem the especially considerate type. [04:14] Saki     Does it look that way to you? [04:16] Yuta     Yeah. At least with me,     you try to understand my position, [04:22] Yuta     and then compromise so we can get along. [04:25] Saki     You've got it backwards, Asamura-kun. [04:27] Yuta     Backwards? [04:30] Saki     We have to compromise exactly because     we can't understand others' feelings. [04:37] Yuta     You might have a point. [04:39] Saki     But honestly, my grade this time      could be a real problem. [04:43] Saki     If I don't pass the retest, [04:45] Saki     I'll be forced to take make-up      lessons during summer break. [04:49] Yuta     I can see why you'd want to avoid that. [04:52] Saki     And I wanted to work over summer vacation... [04:57] Yuta     Sorry. Not finding you a     well-paying job is on me. [05:00] Saki     Oh, no... I'm not blaming you or anything. [05:06] Saki     In fact, I feel bad for taking advantage of you. [05:21] Yuta     If it's okay with you,     I'd be happy to help you study modern lit. [05:34] Saki     Thanks. [05:44] Yuta     You do all right with the      essay questions at the start. [05:48] Yuta     But your answers for the book questions      at the end are full of blanks. [05:53] Yuta     Do you struggle with the novels so     much that you just ran out of time? [05:58] Saki     You sound like you were     watching over my shoulder. [06:01] Yuta     Well, am I wrong? [06:03] Saki     No. Bullseye. [06:04] Saki     But it kind of stings that you     pinpointed my weakness so easily. [06:08] Saki     Not exactly a great feeling. [06:11] Yuta     Sorry. I should have put it more gently. [06:14] Saki     I forgive you. [06:15] Saki     Also, I know you're just being blunt     because you're seriously trying to help me. [06:20] Saki     I shouldn't get pissed over it. Sorry. [06:24] Yuta     It's okay. I guess that makes us even. [06:28] Yuta     So it looks like you struggled the     most with the part about Sanshiro. [06:33] Saki     Yeah. [06:34] Yuta     Natsume Soseki's Sanshiro is all about     the challenge of falling in love freely. [06:40] Yuta     I think people today understand     some parts of the story better [06:43] Yuta     than people did when the book was written. [06:46] Saki     Really? Which parts? [06:49] Yuta     Actually, this might go faster if you tell me     which aspects of it were hardest for you. [06:55] Saki     Um... I don't understand what Sanshiro     is thinking, or what Mineko is thinking, [07:01] Saki     or their motives for any of     the choices they both make. [07:04] Yuta     Um... You get that Sanshiro     has fallen for Mineko, right? [07:11] Saki     He has? [07:15] Saki     Fallen for, as in... he likes her     in a romantic way, right? [07:20] Yuta     Yeah. Remember, he gets jealous     when other men approach her. [07:25] Yuta     Isn't it kind of obvious? [07:28] Saki     He's jealous? [07:30] Saki     You mean he doesn't like it     when Mineko talks to other men? [07:35] Saki     But he doesn't tell her to stop, does he?     If he hates it so much, he should say so. [07:42] Yuta     Well, maybe it's too psychologically     challenging for him [07:46] Yuta     to be so direct with the person he likes. [07:52] Saki     Honestly, I don't get people who hide their     true feelings and don't say what they mean. [08:02] Yuta     Okay, can you imagine a situation where     you couldn't express your true feelings? [08:07] Yuta     Maybe like the first time you fell in love? [08:09] Saki     The first time I fell in love? [08:13] Yuta     Have you ever been so head over heels that     you couldn't make the right decisions? [08:19] Saki     No. I have zero experience with love. [08:23] Yuta     I see. [08:24] Saki     Do you, Asamura-kun? [08:28] Yuta     Now that you mention it, no. [08:30] Saki     Hmm, so you don't... [08:33] Yuta     That a problem? [08:34] Saki     Not really. But if neither     of us has ever been in love, [08:39] Saki     then it's probably safe to assume our lit     grades have nothing to do with experience. [08:44] Yuta     You're right. [08:48] Yuta     So maybe let's stop trying to     empathize with the characters. [08:51] Yuta     If we can't relate to them,     then fine. That's that. [08:55] Saki     So we just take shots in the dark, then? [08:57] Yuta     Not exactly. Maybe think of it     as a math formula or a puzzle. [09:03] Saki     A puzzle? [09:04] Yuta     You get good grades in history, right? [09:08] Saki     Well, yeah. It's just memorization. [09:11] Yuta     Yeah, exactly. It might be easier     to understand modern literature [09:15] Yuta     if you can remember the historical     context of when the book was written. [09:22] Yuta     Since you're good at history,     try linking that knowledge to the story, [09:26] Yuta     and maybe you'll understand it better. [09:30] Saki     You're right. That might be easier for me. [09:33] Yuta     Let's try practicing. There are only     a few different types of questions. [09:39] Yuta     I think you can prepare      for them all by the retest. [09:46] Saki     Do you think I'll pass the retest? [09:52] Yuta     I know you will, Ayase-san. [09:58] Saki     Okay. I'll do my best. [10:21] Yuta     Yeah. This last one is correct,     too. I'm impressed. [10:26] Yuta     I knew you could do it. [10:28] Yuta     Now if you just master the novels     that will likely be covered, [10:31] Yuta     the retake should be a breeze. [10:35] Saki     Thank you. You're a really good teacher. [10:39] Yuta     Oh, I doubt that. [10:46] Yuta     Are you smiling? [10:52] Saki     Who knows? Can't say for sure.

[17:01] Shiori     Will you nurse me back to health, young man? [17:04] Yuta     I'm going home. [17:05] Shiori     Sob, sob... [17:08] Shiori     Now that you're with that floozy,     you're just going to toss me aside?! [17:11] Shiori     Why can't you be nice to me? [17:14] Shiori     I'm going to have to eat here     all by my lonesome. [17:16] Shiori     Stay and tell me of your adventures     with your darling little sister! [17:22] Yuta     Well, I don't have any adventures to share,     but can I ask you for some advice instead? [17:28] Shiori     Oh, now that does sound like     an interesting proposal! [17:34] Shiori     So you want to help your sister     learn to study more efficiently? I see. [17:42] Shiori     And you've been looking into     background music, have you? [17:46] Yuta     Yeah. But I still can't really     pin down the best genres for it. [17:52] Shiori     Yes, yes. I see. [17:55] Shiori     I might have a recommendation for you. [17:57] Shiori     Let's see... Which one? [18:01] Shiori     Oh, here it is. [18:02] Shiori     I also wanted background music to work to,     so I spent some time looking into it. [18:07] Yuta     Huh. [18:09] Shiori     Here, my sweet junior. [18:11] Yuta     Huh? [18:12] Shiori     You want to hear it in high quality, right? [18:15] Yuta     Uh, yeah. I guess so.

[20:09] Yuta     I actually just discovered it. [20:11] Yuta     My senpai at work introduced me to it. [20:15] Saki     Oh, the same one, right? [20:17] Saki     The beautiful older girl     with encyclopedic knowledge? [20:19] Yuta     Well... yeah. [20:21] Yuta     It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I get     most of my recommendations from her. [20:30] Saki     You two must be close. [20:32] Yuta     Well, we get a lot of shifts together. [20:37] Yuta     Ayase-san? [20:38] Saki     Huh? Oh, it's nothing. [20:41] Saki     I just got lost in the music for a second. [20:44] Yuta     I see. [20:47] Saki     So your senpai even has     good taste in music, huh? [20:51] Yuta     Yeah, but personality-wise,     she's kind of an airhead, [20:54] Yuta     though in a really humorous way. [20:58] Saki     Either way, she sounds interesting. [21:01] Yuta     Yeah, that I can guarantee. [21:08] Saki     Asamura-kun? [21:11] Yuta     I really think that I keep taking     too much from you, Ayase-san. [21:18] Yuta     I know this wasn't much,     but I hope it returns the favor a little. [21:29] Saki     Thanks. I'll try listening to it tonight. [21:33] Yuta     Okay. [21:36] Yuta     Oh, just leave it there.     I'll take care of the dishes. [21:41] Saki     Okay. Thanks.

[04:37] Maaya     You're giving off good husband vibes,      Asamura-kun. [04:52] Yuta     Maybe I should start with the rice? [04:54] Maaya     Asamura-kun! [04:58] Yuta     If you want a drink, the fridge is— [05:00] Maaya     That's not what I'm here for!     I came to see how you were doing. [05:04] Maaya     Having a little trouble, maybe? [05:07] Yuta     Actually, this is a little     embarrassing for me. [05:11] Yuta     I thought I could figure it     out if I had a recipe, [05:15] Yuta     but I can't make any sense of it. [05:17] Maaya     I see, I see. [05:19] Maaya     Hey, Saki! You're good to spend the     rest of the time just reviewing, right? [05:24] Saki     Yeah. Thanks for the help. [05:26] Maaya     Okay, then, give it your best shot! [05:29] Maaya     I'm gonna help Asamura-kun cook. [05:32] Saki     Huh? Er, okay... but that's asking a lot of you— [05:36] Maaya     It's fine, it's fine! [05:38] Maaya     I'll stun you with a taste     of my housewifey powers! [05:42] Maaya     Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha. [05:44] Saki     Okay. Thanks. [05:47] Maaya     All right, then! [05:49] Maaya     I'm happy to offer my guidance and support     to Big Brother here, our new cook! [05:54] Maaya     Let's do this!

[07:54] Yuta     It would be trouble if there was. [07:56] Maaya     But you're basically strangers, right?     You aren't even related by blood. [08:00] Yuta     Why are you so curious about     my relationship with Ayase-san? [08:04] Maaya     Why? I'm not really sure. [08:08] Maaya     I just get this feeling that      Saki's changed a little. [08:13] Yuta     Huh. [08:14] Maaya     Like, for example, she's using     more perfume than before. [08:19] Maaya     Did you notice? [08:20] Yuta     Not at all. [08:21] Maaya     Thank goodness! It would've     been so creepy if you had. [08:25] Yuta     Quit setting traps. [08:27] Maaya     And last year, she only used wet wipes     when she got sweaty instead of perfume. [08:32] Maaya     Those seem to be all she really needs,     though, so it's not like it's a problem. [08:38] Yuta     But she's using more this year? [08:40] Maaya     Yes! And that's the behavior of a person     who's conscious of a special someone! [08:46] Maaya     That's what Detective Maaya-chan's     intuition is telling her, Watson-kun! [08:50] Yuta     Huh. [08:51] Maaya     What a weak reaction! [08:53] Maaya     Jeez. I'm telling you a super cute girl     has probably got you on her mind, [08:57] Maaya     and you don't care at all? [08:59] Yuta     That's one way to put it, but I think it's     only natural for her to be thinking about me. [09:04] Maaya     I knew it! So the feeling's mutual! [09:08] Yuta     That's not it. [09:10] Yuta     When you live with someone     of the opposite sex, [09:14] Yuta     of course you're going to be     more mindful of the way you smell. [09:18] Maaya     Huh? Is that all there is to it? [09:24] Maaya     But look! She's even watching you right now! [09:32] Yuta     She probably realized that     we were talking about her. [09:36] Yuta     Your voice is pretty loud, Narasaka-san. [09:38] Maaya     Aww. I'm convinced it's one      of those love things, though. [09:42] Yuta     If you keep hounding your friend about that,     she's going to get really annoyed. [09:46] Maaya     Too late! Saki's already     really annoyed with me! [09:51] Maaya     Oh! Nice timing! [09:54] Maaya     And that's it for Maaya's Cooking Hour today! [10:03] Saki     This is delicious. [10:04] Yuta     I'm really glad you like it.

[10:26] Yuta     Sure. So how's the studying going? [10:29] Saki     Thanks to your help, I was easily able to     answer the questions Maaya came up with. [10:34] Yuta     Oh, good. [10:36] Saki     But then she got mad because she thinks [10:39] Saki     my study method is roundabout and inefficient. [10:45] Yuta     Yeah, honestly, it might not be      the most direct way, after all. [11:01] Saki     You don't need to worry. [11:04] Saki     It's working for me.

SIGN    Thursday, July 16th [01:44] Saki     I know I should concentrate     on figuring out the prose and [01:47] Saki     work through the questions without     trying to fully understand them, [01:52] Saki     but I just can't seem to do that. [01:56] Saki     The way people stress over not understanding     each other makes no sense to me. [02:01] Saki     I don't get it at all. [02:06] Saki     Yeah, I know. That just makes me weird.

[02:36] Saki     Asamura-kun went out of his way     to find something good for me. [02:39] Saki     I should thank him. [02:57] Saki     It's weird. [02:58] Saki     When I get in bed and close my eyes, my head     fills with all sorts of annoying thoughts. [03:06] Saki     Asamura-kun got that music from     his pretty senpai at work, right? [03:12] Saki     Not that it really matters.     But if I don't think it matters, [03:16] Saki     why bother writing about it in my diary?

[03:33] Saki     yet I'm doing it anyway. [03:36] Saki     Who cares? I'm only doing this for myself. [03:40] Saki     Asamura-kun came home late today. [03:43] Saki     Something with a girl from work? [03:46] Saki     He didn't say anything to me about that. [03:50] Saki     Sure, I know. There's no reason for     him to report stuff like that to me. [03:57] Saki     Was it that same girl, I wonder? [04:03] Saki     If so, I hate this. [04:09] Saki     Yeah, when I write it down, [04:12] Saki     I feel like the words that come out on     the page don't match my true feelings. [04:17] Saki     But of the words in my vocabulary,     "hate" is the one that comes closest. [04:23] Saki     I'm so awful. I don't even     know anything about her. [04:27] Saki     It makes me sick of myself. [04:30] Saki     It's self-hatred. I feel so anxious. [04:36] Saki     For some reason, I wanted to welcome     Asamura-kun home when he got back, [04:43] Saki     so I decided to study in the living     room instead of my bedroom. [04:50] Saki     In the end, I couldn't stay     awake until he got home. [04:56] Saki     I didn't get to say "welcome home." [04:59] Saki     But I did wake up with a blanket on me. [05:04] Saki     I wonder if... [05:06] Saki     When I had that thought, [05:08] Saki     the anxiety I felt last night     seemed to clear up a little. SIGN    Sunday, July 19th [05:15] Saki     Yomiuri Shiori. [05:18] Saki     I think that's a really pretty name.

[05:30] Saki     Also, maybe it's because she's in     college, but she seems so mature. [05:36] Saki     And she's not just beautiful. [05:40] Saki     She also has a kind of adorable charm to her.

[07:37] Saki     I could have practiced     for the interview at home, [07:41] Saki     but I figured it'd be really awkward     if Asamura-kun were around. [07:46] Saki     If he saw me, I'd probably die a little. [07:48] Saki     If he asked me why I picked     that bookstore in particular, [07:52] Saki     how would I even answer?

[08:20] Saki     Sooner or later, I'm going to have to     confront this anxious feeling I keep getting. [08:27] Saki     To make up for what I did, I decided     to make him a really nice meal tonight. [08:34] Saki     I figured he'd be more likely to forgive me     if I treated him to some good food. [08:40] Saki     And even if he doesn't, [08:43] Saki     he'll at least have to accept it, I guess. [08:48] Saki     I'll convince him that I was late because     I stopped by the department store. [08:53] Saki     And saying I didn't see his messages     because my battery died should be okay. [08:59] Saki     The more I lie, the more I feel a seed     of doubt starting to sprout in my mind. [09:10] Saki     I'm scared... [09:14] Saki     of the feelings I'm having right now.     I think I have a good idea of what's happening [09:21] Saki     and how I'm starting to feel about him. [09:26] Saki     There's only one word to describe it, SIGN    ...never expected that he attended Suisei, too. [09:28] Saki     and I'm torn as to whether     I should put it down in my diary. SIGN    ...from his pretty senpai...     ...that it really matters...     ...don't think it matters,     why bother writing about it in my diary?     ...don't get it. SIGN    ...like I was thinking about him...     ...I really regret that...          Yomiuri Shiori.     ...really pretty name. [09:35] Saki     It's all too ironic. [09:37] Saki     I never dreamed I'd start behaving     like some character in a novel. [09:45] Saki     But I can't run away now.     The job interview was such a breeze. [09:51] Saki     I'm going to have to come clean to Asamura-kun. [09:56] Saki     I'm scared to explain it to him. I'm terrified. [10:02] Saki     But at the same time,     I think it will be a relief. [10:08] Saki     Of course it will be. [10:11] Saki     I mean, I'll finally be free of this anxiety. [10:20] Saki     There are parts of Asamura-kun I don't know. [10:23] Saki     There are parts of his relationship     with Yomiuri-san I don't know. [10:27] Saki     If I can at least get an idea of what those are, [10:31] Saki     maybe this gross, anxious     feeling will let up a little. [10:39] Saki     I think it will. [10:44] Saki     I really can't believe myself. [10:47] Saki     Why am I giving him control over my actions? [10:53] Saki     Asamura-kun hasn't done anything. [10:55] Saki     I'm the one who tied myself in chains [10:59] Saki     and bound myself to him. [11:03] Saki     Really, the whole thing is so stupid     it makes me want to laugh. [11:11] Saki     I'm not going to let anyone read this anyway. [11:15] Saki     Maybe as a sort of warning to myself,     I should go ahead and write the word. [11:21] Saki     If I hide it way in the back of a drawer     and lock it shut, it should be safe. [11:30] Saki     So here's a test question for you, Ayase Saki. [11:38] Saki     Describe the nature of the unpleasant     feelings you're experiencing in one word. SIGN    Saturday, August 22nd [11:46] Taichi     It's all so delicious again today! [11:48] Saki     Oh, it's nothing special. [11:51] Saki     Here, Asamura-kun. [11:52] Yuta     Thanks, Ayase-san. [11:55] Taichi     So, Yuta and Saki-chan, you both still     call each other by your family names? SIGN    Episode 7 "Feelings and Summer Vacation" [11:59] Akiko     Are you still too embarrassed     to use your given names? [12:04] Akiko     Hmm, how about something     like "Big Brother Yuta"? [12:08] Saki     That just doesn't feel right. [12:10] Akiko     No? [12:11] Saki     No. [12:13] Taichi     Do you feel the same, Yuta? [12:15] Yuta     I agree with Ayase-san.     It just doesn't feel right, I guess. [12:19] Taichi     Hmm. Well, I suppose that's that, then. [12:24] Akiko     Do you both have work again today? [12:27] Yuta     Yes. I'm planning to leave by noon. [12:30] Saki     Me, too. [12:32] Taichi     Are you sure you should be working     so much? August is already half over. [12:36] Yuta     Don't worry. I've still been going     to summer cram school. [12:40] Taichi     No, that's not the issue here. [12:45] Taichi     It's summer vacation, and it doesn't     sound like you've gone anywhere for fun. [12:50] Yuta     Oh, that's what you meant? [12:52] Taichi     This is a big deal. Once you're a third-year,     you'll have to concentrate on exams. [12:58] Akiko     That's right. [12:59] Akiko     And I know you tend to push     yourself a bit too hard, Saki. [13:03] Taichi     Your friends are probably     missing you both right now. [13:08] Yuta     That's not that many people.     Oh, for me, I mean. [13:13] Yuta     Ayase-san has friends, though. [13:15] Saki     We don't have any plans. [13:25] Yuta     Come in. [13:27] Saki     If you meant Maaya, don't worry about her. [13:29] Yuta     Huh? [13:30] Saki     We're not so close that we'd     hang out over summer break. [13:34] Yuta     Oh. [13:36] Saki     Sorry. I'm not mad or anything. [13:39] Saki     But Maaya and I don't really hang     out that much to begin with. [13:43] Yuta     Even though she's come over a few times? [13:45] Saki     Well, that's because she was     really curious about you. [13:49] Saki     And also because I invited her,     like last time. [13:55] Saki     She's actually very considerate, so if we     don't make plans, she gives me my space. [13:59] Saki     I'm the same way. [14:01] Yuta     Well, I can kind of understand that. [14:05] Yuta     I don't like hanging out with people     I'm not that close to, either. [14:09] Saki     Do you like your solitude? [14:11] Yuta     I think I do prefer it, yeah. [14:14] Saki     Okay. [14:16] Saki     I guess that's enough talk for now. [14:19] Saki     See you later. [14:25] Shiori     Thanks. [14:27] Yuta     No problem. [14:40] Shiori     She's sure getting the hang of things quickly. [14:45] Yuta     Thank you very much. [14:48] Shiori     Is Ayase-san okay over there? [14:55] Shiori     Go give her some backup. [14:59] Yuta     Okay. [15:03] Yuta     Ayase-san. [15:06] Saki     Asamura-san. [15:08] Yuta     Did it show up in the search? [15:09] Saki     It says we still have five volumes left. [15:14] Yuta     It's a new release, right?     And it wasn't on the display stand? [15:18] Saki     Right. SIGN    Just out on August 22! SIGN    THE BEEHIVE SIGN    TAMURA KANAE SIGN    Staff Pick!

[15:42] Saki     Thanks for your help today. [15:44] Saki     But really, how did you know?     It's like you were psychic. [15:48] Yuta     The sign said that book was a     new release from August 22nd. [15:54] Yuta     But I remembered that the     book on the top of the pile [15:58] Yuta     had already been out for a while. [16:01] Saki     I didn't even notice. [16:04] Yuta     Well, I do have a lot more experience. [16:08] Saki     I still think it's impressive. [16:10] Yuta     Yomiuri probably would      have found it even quicker. [16:15] Saki     Oh. [16:26] Saki     I guess it's already fall. [16:26] Yuta     I guess summer isn't over yet. [16:30] Saki     Huh? [16:30] Yuta     Eh? [16:31] Saki     Do you mean because of this heat? [16:34] Yuta     What did you mean? [16:36] Saki     Well, look over there. [16:39] Yuta     That means... it's fall? [16:42] Saki     Are you being serious right now? [16:44] Saki     I mean, they were wearing     different clothes until yesterday. [16:48] Yuta     They were? [16:50] Saki     No way. Asamura-kun, are you one of     those people with zero interest in fashion? [16:56] Yuta     Have you ever seen me     reading a fashion magazine? [17:01] Saki     I guess not. [17:03] Saki     If you're not interested,     I guess you really wouldn't notice. [17:08] Yuta     Looks like you're right. [17:12] Saki     Well, I can't imagine you working at     a clothing boutique, so I guess it's fine. [17:18] Yuta     Where did that come from? [17:22] Saki     Never mind. SIGN    Sunday, August 23rd [17:30] Yuta     It's broken? [17:32] Taichi     Yeah. This is our oldest one, after all. [17:37] Yuta     Is Ayase-san in her room? [17:38] Akiko     Well, she was until just before you got up, [17:43] Akiko     but she really doesn't     handle the heat very well. [17:47] Yuta     Is that right? [17:50] Akiko     It was a real problem when she was younger. [17:55] Akiko     When summer came,     she'd always demand ice cream [17:59] Akiko     and throw tantrums saying,     "Take me to the pool!" [18:04] Akiko     Once she got into middle school,     that started to change. [18:08] Akiko     She became more like she is now. [18:12] Akiko     She stopped being such a handful,     but I still miss those old days. [18:22] Saki     My mom started working     twice as hard to provide for me. [18:33] Yuta     Yes? [18:35] Yuta     Yeah. [18:37] Yuta     Yeah. Right now? [18:43] Maru     So anyway, Asamura, I heard you're going     to the pool with Narasaka and some people? [18:49] Yuta     Huh? What are you talking about? [18:51] Maru     What? I'm talking about you and Ayase     going to the pool with Narasaka. [18:58] Yuta     Haven't heard a thing. [19:00] Maru     Didn't you get invited? [19:02] Yuta     Nope. [19:04] Maru     Then maybe they'll invite you later. [19:07] Yuta     Yeah, maybe so... [19:10] Maru     Hey, aren't you short on time? [19:12] Yuta     Oh, y-yeah. [19:14] Maru     Then we should go.     Lemme hit the bathroom first. [19:17] Yuta     Sure. [19:26] Yuta     Getting used to work? [19:27] Saki     Yes. Thanks to your help. [19:31] Yuta     You're dependable and     a quick learner, Ayase-san. [19:34] Saki     Thanks. [19:36] Yuta     The other employees were praising you, too. [19:39] Saki     Yeah? [19:52] Yuta     I guess it is like my dad said. [19:55] Yuta     Feels like we're spending     our whole break working. [19:59] Saki     Yeah. [20:21] Yuta     Ayase-san. [20:26] Yuta     By any chance, did Narasaka-san     invite you to go to the pool? [20:33] Yuta     Did she maybe invite me, too? [20:38] Saki     Did Maaya tell you that? [20:41] Yuta     No, Narasaka-san doesn't have my contact info. [20:46] Saki     Then how would you know about it? [20:49] Yuta     Someone else told me.     I hadn't heard anything before that. [20:54] Saki     Do you want to go, Asamura-kun? [20:57] Yuta     Huh? Uh... [21:00] Yuta     To be honest, I think I'd feel out of place     at a pool with a bunch of cheery people. [21:05] Yuta     Not really my thing. [21:08] Saki     Oh. [21:12] Yuta     Ayase-san? [21:14] Saki     Then you don't need to force yourself to go. [21:19] Yuta     Aren't you going? To the pool? [21:21] Saki     No, I'm not. [21:30] (Flashback) Saki     Starting tomorrow,     I'm going to be working at your store. [21:34] (Flashback) Yuta     Why didn't you tell me you applied for a job? [21:40] (Flashback) Saki     It would've been embarrassing     if I didn't get it. SIGN    Asamura Ayase [21:52] Saki     So here's a test question     for you, Ayase Saki.

[02:59] Yuta     It looks like the AC's fixed now. [03:01] Akiko     It sure does. I'm glad     we got it fixed so quickly. [03:05] Akiko     Now my girl should be able     to study at home again. [03:08] Yuta     Oh... [03:11] Yuta     That's right. [03:15] Yuta     Say... [03:17] Akiko     Hmm? [03:18] Yuta     Does Ayase-san dislike people who divert     her from doing what she wants to do? [03:25] Akiko     Um, what do you mean? [03:27] Yuta     Well, for example, planning something     without her input and then asking her to join. [03:33] Akiko     Oh, I see. [03:35] Akiko     Considering her personality, I don't think     she'd appreciate that very much. [03:40] Akiko     She'd want it all to be     aboveboard from start to finish. [03:44] Yuta     Yeah, that's what I figured. [03:47] Akiko     Oh? Yuta-kun, are you thinking     of asking Saki on a date? [03:51] Yuta     O-Of course not! Ayase-san is my sister. [03:56] Akiko     I'm just kidding. [03:58] Yuta     Ayase-san just seems like the     type to go a little overboard. [04:03] Yuta     I think you mentioned     something like that before. [04:05] Yuta     That she pushes herself too hard. [04:07] Akiko     Mm-hmm. [04:09] Yuta     She always seems to be on guard. [04:12] Yuta     I wonder if she ever actually     gives herself a break. [04:18] Akiko     And that's why you're thinking about     dragging her out to have some fun? [04:24] Akiko     I wonder if she's that way     because I was always so busy. [04:27] Akiko     It's like she's trying to grow     up as fast as possible. [04:32] Akiko     I wish I could have given Saki a little     more time to be a carefree child. [04:39] Akiko     Yuta-kun. [04:42] Akiko     I'd like to ask a favor.     You can insist if you have to, [04:47] Akiko     but make sure Saki takes a break     every once in a while. [04:51] Yuta     All right. Um, but she might hate me for it. [04:56] Akiko     Don't worry! [04:57] Akiko     If it comes to that, I'll let you in on     what Saki's absolute favorite thing is. [05:01] Yuta     And I can use that to get her to forgive me? [05:04] Akiko     Yes, that's for sure. [05:22] Saki     What? [05:24] Yuta     Listen, about Narasaka-san and the pool— [05:27] Saki     I'm not going. [05:29] Saki     I don't have the time. [05:32] Yuta     All right. That's that, then. [05:36] Yuta     But I changed my mind     and am thinking of going. [05:40] Yuta     So do you think you could give me     Narasaka-san's contact info? [05:46] Saki     No way. [05:47] Yuta     Huh? [05:49] Yuta     U-Um... [05:50] Saki     It's bad manners to give out someone's     contact info without their permission. [05:54] Yuta     Oh... That's true. [05:57] Saki     I'll try asking Maaya.     I'll let you know when I get an answer. [06:11] Kaho     Um... [06:12] Yuta     Huh? [06:16] Kaho     You dropped this. [06:17] Yuta     Oh... When did I... [06:20] Yuta     Thank you very much. [06:25] Shiori     Well, what a coincidence!     But is it really a coincidence? [06:30] Yuta     I just happened to be in the area.     I go to a cram school nearby. [06:34] Shiori     Roger dodger. [06:36] Yuta     Anyway, who were you just talking to? [06:39] Shiori     That was a professor from my college. [06:41] Shiori     I never expected you to catch me     getting trounced like that. [06:45] Yuta     Ah... It must be exhausting having     a serious debate with a professor. [06:49] Shiori     That's for sure. [06:51] Shiori     But I know how to rejuvenate now and then      when I'm exhausted, so I'll be okay. [06:56] Yuta     Rejuvenate? [06:57] Shiori     Teasing you replenishes     the vigor in my heart, son. [07:01] Shiori     Oh, thank you kindly for giving     me something to lean on! [07:05] Yuta     Now hold on a second...

[09:57] Saki     You're bringing that up again? [09:58] Yuta     Yeah, well, I haven't gotten     the contact info I need yet. [10:04] Yuta     She's probably still waiting     for a response from me. [10:07] Saki     Fine. I'll give it to you. [10:10] Yuta     Ah, wait! [10:11] Yuta     I don't actually care about her contact info. [10:14] Yuta     I'm not doing this because     I want to go to the pool. [10:18] Yuta     I want you to go and have fun there. [10:22] Saki     I don't get it. [10:24] Yuta     I mean, if I said I wanted to go,     I thought you might get jealous. [10:31] Saki     Me? [10:32] Yuta     Yeah, you. [10:36] Saki     But why would I get jealous? [10:38] Yuta     Well, don't you actually     want to go to the pool? [10:46] Yuta     Sorry. Akiko-san told me a few things. [10:49] Yuta     She said that ever since you were little,     you hated the heat and love the pool. [10:55] Saki     But that was when I was a kid. [11:03] Yuta     Ayase-san... [11:05] Yuta     Ayase-san, you always seem a little different      when you talk about Narasaka-san. [11:14] Yuta     Like when we made sweet 'n' sour pork, [11:17] Yuta     you looked really happy.     You had this glowing smile. [11:23] Yuta     So I figured that if Narasaka-san     asked you to go to the pool, [11:29] Yuta     you'd probably actually want to go. [11:33] Saki     I told you. I don't have the time. [11:36] Yuta     Yeah, I know. [11:39] Saki     I have to study. [11:41] Yuta     Right. I get that. [11:43] Yuta     But you still need to find time to rel— [11:45] Saki     I can't relax! [11:51] Yuta     This is why I worry about you. [11:55] Yuta     If you keep pushing yourself like this,     sooner or later, you're gonna crash. [11:59] Yuta     I know you want to hurry up     and become independent, [12:03] Yuta     but you still have to make time to rest. [12:13] Yuta     Ayase-san? [12:32] Saki     I'm going to go study.

[14:32] Saki     Oh, it's already that late? [14:35] Saki     I'm really sorry. There wasn't     anything for your dad to eat. [14:39] Yuta     It's okay. He had some bread before he left. [14:44] Saki     I've never slept in this late before. [14:47] Yuta     Probably the exhaustion catching up with you. [14:49] Yuta     It's okay if you want to rest a little longer. [14:52] Saki     I'm really sorry. [14:54] Saki     I can make something for you right now. [15:00] Yuta     Ayase-san. [15:06] Saki     Yes? [15:08] Yuta     I want you to listen to me and not walk away. [15:11] Saki     About what? [15:14] Yuta     About this. [15:15] Yuta     When you moved in, do you      remember what you said to me? [15:20] Yuta     When we decided to stop     talking formally to each other. [15:27] Saki     "It's a big help if we can     smooth things out this easily." [15:32] Yuta     Yeah. [15:33] Yuta     And right now, I can tell     how sleep-deprived you are. [15:38] Yuta     I don't want to make you     cook for me in this state. [15:42] Saki     But it was all my idea to do the cooking. [15:48] Yuta     Rules are one thing.     But in reality, things change. [15:52] Yuta     Your mission today, Ayase-san,     is not to cook but to sleep. [15:57] Saki     B-But... [15:59] Yuta     I wouldn't be saying this if you     were your normal self today. [16:03] Yuta     But you know, you've never slept     in this late before. Isn't that right? [16:10] Yuta     So these are unusual circumstances. [16:13] Saki     I'm just a little short on sleep. [16:15] Yuta     That's reason enough. [16:18] Yuta     You have a right to take a seat in this chair. [16:22] Yuta     Come on. [16:29] Saki     Okay. [16:35] Yuta     Think you can eat a piece of toast? [16:38] Saki     Yeah. [16:39] Yuta     Should I grill the ham? [16:40] Saki     I do like it grilled. [16:43] Yuta     You always brown it a bit, right? [16:47] Saki     That's the way I like it. [16:49] Yuta     Me, too. It's better a little crispy. [17:15] Yuta     Want some hot milk? [17:18] Saki     Huh? [17:19] Saki     But it's summer. [17:21] Yuta     The air conditioning is on. [17:23] Yuta     Also, if you're going back to sleep, [17:26] Yuta     it might help to get a     warm drink inside you first. [17:32] Saki     I'll take one. [17:34] Yuta     You got it. [17:45] Yuta     Let's eat. [17:48] Saki     Let's eat. [17:59] Yuta     Here. [18:46] Yuta     Oh, I forgot. Here's a spoon. [18:50] Saki     Thanks. [19:35] Saki     We should go to the pool.

[22:09] Yuta     I don't need it if we're walking together. [22:13] Saki     I figured you must've had some reason. [22:17] Yuta     No, not at all. It was just out of habit.

Isn't that when     the AC in the living room broke? [01:22] Saki     That evening, Asamura-kun confronted me. [01:27] Saki     He asked if Maaya had     invited us to go to the pool. SIGN    Oh.

[03:15] Saki     Ah, I've seen that look before. [03:20] Saki     When I was in middle school, [03:22] Saki     there was one time when Mom     wanted to take me to the beach.

[10:03] Saki     Even though it seems like     nobody else notices. [10:08] Saki     Maybe I'm the only one who does. [10:12] Saki     I don't know. That makes     me feel kind of proud...

[10:32] Saki     Well, ignoring the objective     reality of the situation, [10:36] Saki     subjectively, I wanted     to compliment you for it. [10:40] Saki     I just thought it was really cool. [10:43] Saki     Like a stagehand who's devoted     to assisting everyone. [10:48] Yuta     Are stagehands really that cool, though? [10:51] Saki     Well, everyone's standards are different. [10:56] Yuta     I guess that's true. [10:59] Yuta     But if you keep talking like that,     I'm gonna get embarrassed. [11:09] Saki     No, that was it. [11:40] Saki     All right.

[12:49] Yuta     Honestly, I've never been great with girls. [12:53] Yuta     Probably because of how my mom and dad were. [12:57] Yuta     It gave me a really cynical view of     relationships between men and women. [13:02] Yuta     That's why I've never fallen in love     with anyone before now. [13:10] Yuta     And yet... [13:12] Yuta     This emotion, this feeling that most people     regard as so sacred and glorious... [13:19] Yuta     How did it sneak up on me like this? [13:23] Yuta     And why right now? [13:25] Yuta     And why, of all people... [13:30] Yuta     She's my little sister. [13:32] Yuta     But she's also Ayase-san. [13:37] Yuta     My... [13:40] Yuta     little stepsister. [13:44] Saki     You and Maaya have sure gotten friendly. [13:47] Yuta     Huh? Oh, yeah, I wanted to     thank her for the invitation. [13:53] Yuta     She really took care of everything.     I had a great time. [13:58] Yuta     Narasaka-san is pretty incredible. [14:01] Saki     Thank you. [14:02] Yuta     Huh? [14:03] Saki     She's my friend. I'm happy to hear     that people appreciate her. [14:11] Yuta     Did you have a good time? [14:13] Saki     Yeah, thanks to you. [14:24] Saki     Ever since I was a kid,     I've liked swimming at pools. [14:27] Saki     I hadn't been able to enjoy swimming     for a while, so this was really fun. [14:33] Saki     I'm really glad I listened to you, Asamura-kun. [14:42] Yuta     I mean, I didn't really do anything. [14:48] Yuta     Ayase-sa— [15:05] Yuta     That sure startled me. [15:07] Saki     I did see a lot of people in yukata today. [15:22] Saki     Asamura-kun, I think you're incredibly     thoughtful and considerate. [15:27] Yuta     Huh? [15:28] Saki     I really admire that. [15:34] Yuta     You think so? [15:36] Saki     Yeah, I think so. [15:41] Saki     I realized this was my chance to say it. [15:44] Saki     You see how hard people try. [15:47] Saki     I know I said this at the pool,     but I think that part of you is really cool. [15:53] Saki     He shines so brightly in my life.     He looks so cool to me. [16:01] Saki     I think you're great... [16:04] Saki     Which is why... [16:09] Saki     Big Brother. [16:17] Saki     Um, sorry. Did I surprise you? [16:21] Saki     You're always taking care of me     and going out of your way for me. [16:27] Saki     You're someone I can truly rely on.     Like a real brother, you know? [16:33] Yuta     I'm glad, Ayase-san. [16:37] Saki     But it still sounds kind of weird, huh? [16:41] Yuta     I don't think so. [16:43] Saki     You don't? [16:47] Yuta     Honestly, that was a close call. [16:50] Yuta     Her calling me that, as unexpected as it was,     brought me back to my senses. [16:57] Yuta     Ayase-san's friendly behavior, her praise...     It was all for her brother. [17:06] Yuta     She trusts me. [17:08] Yuta     Meanwhile, here I was,     trying to break all our rules. [17:24] Yuta     I can't do this. [17:27] Yuta     How am I supposed to act when I get home? [17:32] Saki     I hope he didn't notice how much     my hands were trembling. [17:37] Saki     I have to keep repeating it to myself. [17:41] Saki     The two of you are siblings, girl! [17:46] Saki     But maybe, just maybe... [17:49] Saki     If Asamura-kun did like me and     chose to share how he felt with me, [17:57] Saki     would I be able to fully reject those feelings? [18:02] Saki     I'm scared. [18:05] Saki     If he takes even one step forward,     I just know I would... [18:13] Saki     I would completely fall apart.

Why don't     we let him sleep a little longer? [18:35] Taichi     Saki-chan, do you have work again today? [18:38] Saki     I took yesterday and today off. [18:40] Akiko     Did Yuta-kun, too?

[19:04] Saki     I don't want to spoil our parents' happiness. [19:09] Saki     I don't want to cause trouble for Asamura-kun. [19:28] Saki     I pray that nobody finds out how I feel. [19:39] Akiko     Saki told us that you have     the day off from work. [19:44] Yuta     That's right. [19:44] Taichi     And at this point, you're a     confirmed cram school skipper, too! [19:50] Yuta     You mean you knew about that     and still didn't wake me up? [19:54] Taichi     This sort of thing is good     for you once in a while. [19:59] Akiko     Thank you, Yuta-kun. [20:01] Yuta     Huh? [20:03] Akiko     For taking Saki to the pool. [20:07] Yuta     Oh. [20:08] Yuta     Actually, it was Ayase-san's     friend who invited us. [20:14] Akiko     But if you hadn't dragged her along,     that girl probably wouldn't have gone. [20:24] Yuta     You might be right about that. [20:27] Akiko     I'm so glad you're her older brother. [20:34] Akiko     Oh, that's right, Yuta-kun!     Saki's favorite thing! [20:38] Yuta     Oh, what you mentioned before? [20:40] Akiko     Yeah. I'll show you what it is. [20:43] Akiko     Here. [20:46] Yuta     Huh? This is it? [20:48] Saki     I'm back. [20:49] Akiko     Welcome home! Ooh, that's new!

[23:01] Saki     When I want to relive my memories,     I'll do it inside my head. [23:06] Saki     I shouldn't spend my days trying to     connect with him as just some girl.

[05:07] Akiko     But if I do both meetings     back-to-back on the same day, [05:11] Akiko     the other kids would find     out that you're siblings. [05:17] Akiko     Well, that's not the only reason. SIGN    Asamura Ayase [05:31] Yuta     I'm back. [05:32] Akiko     Welcome home! [05:33] Saki     Welcome home, Big Brother. [05:35] Akiko     What perfect timing. [05:37] Yuta     Huh? [05:38] Akiko     We were just talking about what to do     for your parent-teacher meeting. [05:43] Yuta     Huh? Mine? [05:44] Akiko     Yes. [05:45] Akiko     Taichi-san is extremely busy right now,     so I'm planning to go to both of yours. [05:52] Yuta     Huh? [05:52] Akiko     I've thought about it, [05:54] Akiko     and if you and Saki can schedule yours      for different days, we'll make it work. [06:01] Saki & Yuta     Huh? [06:02] Akiko     Well, you haven't told anyone at school     that you're brother and sister, right? [06:06] Akiko     So that would be safer than me     going to both on the same day. [06:12] Yuta     You mean you'd go all the way     out to our school twice? [06:15] Akiko     Yes, that's right. [06:20] Yuta     But my dad isn't the only busy one here. [06:24] Yuta     You work nights at the bar. [06:26] Yuta     Isn't it already hard enough for you just     to come to our school in the afternoon? [06:30] Akiko     I'll be fine! [06:32] Yuta     But still... [06:33] Akiko     I've got to get going.     Let's go over the details later. [06:38] Yuta     Oh, okay... [06:40] Akiko     I'm off! [06:41] Yuta     See you later... [06:45] Yuta     Ayase-san? [06:46] Saki     I have to get to work. [06:50] Yuta     See you later. [06:54] Saki     See you. [07:08] Akiko     Well, that's not the only reason. [07:13] Akiko     I don't feel like Yuta-kun     accepts me as his mother yet, [07:19] Akiko     and that makes me a little sad. [07:32] Saki     I'm back. [07:35] Yuta     Welcome home, Ayase-san. [07:37] Yuta     Good timing. Want to eat together? [07:43] Saki     Sure. [07:54] Saki     So, about the parent-teacher meeting... [07:54] Yuta     So, about the parent-teacher meeting... [08:03] Yuta     Why don't we eat while we talk? [08:05] Saki     Yeah. [08:11] Saki     Thanks for the meal. It was delicious. [08:14] Yuta     Glad you liked it. [08:16] Saki     You're getting better at cooking. [08:18] Yuta     Thanks. [08:25] Yuta     So, about those meetings... [08:28] Saki     Yeah. [08:29] Yuta     We don't want people to know      we're brother and sister, [08:33] Yuta     but that's really just for us. [08:38] Saki     I have been thinking it's kind of selfish. [08:42] Yuta     I don't actually have a problem with     people knowing that you're my sister. [08:47] Yuta     But I know that's not for just me to decide. [08:52] Saki     I feel the same way. [08:54] Saki     This isn't a decision I can make alone. [09:00] Saki     But I've seen what happens     when my mom works too hard [09:04] Saki     and the toll it starts to take on her health. [09:08] Yuta     Yeah. [09:10] Yuta     I don't want to make things any harder     for my dad or for Akiko-san. [09:18] Saki     Then we have our decision. [09:22] Yuta     Let's schedule our meetings for the same day. [09:25] Yuta     That way, Akiko-san only     has to go to school once. [09:29] Saki     Yeah. [09:34] Yuta     Ayase-san? [09:41] Saki     This isn't only because     it's hard on her, though. [09:45] Saki     There are other reasons... [09:49] Saki     that I want my mom to go     to both of our meetings. [09:58] Saki     But I'll tell her what we decided. [10:01] Yuta     Oh... Sure. [10:03] Saki     Thanks for dinner. It was good. [10:06] Yuta     I'll take care of that.     I'm sure you're tired from work. [10:17] Saki     Then let's do it together. [10:26] Yuta     This is good.     This should make them both happy. [10:30] Saki     This isn't fair. It just isn't, Asamura-kun. [10:35] Yuta     I know that Dad and Akiko-san     really want us to get along. [10:41] Saki     The fact that you're worried     about how hard my mom works [10:45] Saki     makes me really happy. [10:48] Yuta     That's why I have to control my feelings. [10:52] Yuta     I have to put a lid on them and seal them away. [10:56] Saki     I'm trying so hard to erase these feelings, [10:59] Saki     but I'm so touched by such a tiny gesture... [11:04] Yuta     We aren't strangers anymore. [11:07] Saki     Asamura-kun is my stepbrother. [11:10] Yuta     Ayase-san is my stepsister. [11:16] Saki     We're family. [11:16] Yuta     We're family. SIGN    Friday, September 4th [11:28] Taichi     Are you sure about this? [11:30] Yuta     Ayase-san and I talked and     made the decision together. [11:34] Yuta     It feels unnatural to keep hiding     the fact that we're siblings. [11:39] Yuta     Besides, aren't you super busy right now, Dad? [11:44] Taichi     Well, yeah. [11:46] Taichi     I'm sure Akiko-san will be     happy about this, though. [11:52] Taichi     She said something to me... [11:55] Taichi     "I want us to be a real family.     It shouldn't be too hard." [12:00] Taichi     "Otherwise, what's the point of building     relations by marrying?" Her words. [12:17] Taichi     If Akiko-san knew you accepted     her as part of your family, [12:22] Taichi     it would make her very happy. [12:28] Yuta     Yeah. [12:32] Saki     Good morning, Dad. Big Brother. [12:35] Taichi     Good morning, Saki-chan! [12:37] Yuta     Good morning, Ayase-san. [12:40] Saki     I'm sorry I didn't make breakfast. [12:42] Taichi     Oh, that's okay! Why don't you eat with us? [12:46] Saki     All right. [12:49] Saki     Here, Big Brother. [12:59] Saki     It made Mom really happy. [13:02] Taichi     Told you! [13:10] Saki     Good morning, Dad. [13:13] Taichi     Good morning, Saki-chan! [13:16] Saki     It made Mom really happy. [13:26] Yuta     "Mom." [13:31] Maru     You don't say... [13:34] Maru     Well, that explains a lot. [13:36] Yuta     Yeah. [13:38] Maru     I was surprised when you were asking     about Ayase, but now it all makes sense. [13:43] Maru     But this means I said some nasty stuff      about your sister. Sorry, man. [13:48] Yuta     You had no way of knowing. It's fine. [13:52] Maru     I was totally convinced     you'd fallen for Ayase-san. [13:57] Yuta     Oh, come on. [13:58] Maru     I know. Sorry. I shouldn't make     careless assumptions. [14:02] Maru     But the way things are going,      it seems like you get on fine as siblings. [14:07] Yuta     Well, yeah. [14:11] Maru     Good, good. [14:13] Saki     Isn't that kind of an uneven trade? [14:16] Maaya     It's fine, it's fine! [14:18] girl     Oh, that looks good! [14:19] Maaya     Ah! And your salmon looks tasty, Yumicchi!

[14:57] somebody     Oh, no wonder. [14:58] Maaya     Ah. So what should we do, then? [15:01] Shinjo     Then how about a study session? [15:06] Daisuke     Uh, like we all meet up somewhere?

[03:29] Yuta     No, I'm not. [03:31] Maaya     Is that the truth? [03:33] Yuta     You know that Ayase-san and I are siblings. [03:38] Maaya     You still call her "Ayase-san" even now. [03:43] Maaya     But you're only stepsiblings, right? [03:46] Maaya     And that practically just happened,     so aren't you basically like strangers? [03:51] Yuta     I'm telling you it's not like that. [03:54] Maaya     It's not, huh? [04:02] Maaya     Then is it okay if I root for someone else? [04:06] Yuta     Um... [04:08] Maaya     If I know another guy likes Saki, [04:11] Maaya     is it okay if I try to set them up?     That's what I'm asking.

[05:32] Akiko     Is that right? [05:35] Suzuki-sensei     I'm sure it's because you did     an excellent job bringing him up. [05:42] Akiko     Uh... [05:43] Yuta     Yes. I'm very grateful to my mother. [05:48] Suzuki-sensei     Mm-hmm. [05:51] Suzuki-sensei     Next, you just need to decide     where you'd like to apply.

[06:23] Yuta     F-First, would you mind letting me go? [06:29] Sato-sensei     If I'm perfectly honest with you, [06:31] Sato-sensei     I was somewhat worried about     Saki-san during the first term. [06:37] Sato-sensei     There were some unpleasant rumors     circulating about her behavior. [06:41] Sato-sensei     However, I see things differently now. [06:45] Sato-sensei     I could tell by observing Saki-san that     she isn't anything like the rumors say. [06:52] Sato-sensei     I know there are other teachers who say     this or that about her appearance, [06:56] Sato-sensei     but I understand wanting      to dress up and look pretty. [07:01] Sato-sensei     I'll just say one thing. [07:03] Sato-sensei     Try to keep it within appropriate     bounds for a high school student. [07:08] Saki     I will. [07:10] Sato-sensei     Now, let's talk about your future plans. [07:14] Sato-sensei     Your problematic language arts grade     started to improve in the second term. [07:19] Sato-sensei     Have you thought about colleges     you'd like to apply to? [07:23] Saki     I'd like to find one with low tuition costs [07:26] Saki     that will put me in a good     position for the job market. [07:34] Sato-sensei     How about Tsukinomiya Women's College? [07:37] Saki     Tsukinomiya? [07:40] Saki     I've heard it's very prestigious.     I'm not sure I'm... [07:44] Sato-sensei     With your current performance,     I think you have a shot if you work hard. [07:49] Sato-sensei     It would definitely give you     a boost on the job market. [07:53] Sato-sensei     It's a public school, so tuition is low.     It might be exactly what you're looking for. [08:00] Saki     I'd never even considered it. [08:03] Sato-sensei     Why not go and see it? [08:06] Sato-sensei     Look. They even have an open      campus event this weekend. [08:14] Akiko     Appropriate bounds, huh? [08:16] Akiko     I think if you try to stay too appropriate,     you drive yourself nuts. [08:22] Saki     Huh? What? [08:24] Akiko     Nothing. [08:27] Akiko     So, what'll it be? [08:29] Saki     I'll go tomorrow. [08:32] Saki     I'll check out the open campus by myself. [08:38] Akiko     I see. [08:39] Akiko     Tsukinomiya, huh? I'm so thrilled that     both of my children are such good students! [08:45] Akiko     Yuta-kun was told that he could     get into any school he wanted. [08:49] Saki     Oh.

[09:20] Saki     Yeah, I did. [09:22] Shiori     Good! There's still some time,     so let me show you all around. [09:27] Saki     Huh? But... [09:29] Shiori     Don't be shy, don't be shy! [09:31] Saki     Uh... [09:33] Kudo     What have we here, Yomiuri-kun? Is this     dazzling young lady a friend of yours? [09:40] Shiori     Kudo-sensei? [09:42] Shiori     Kudo-sensei is giving today's     sample lecture on ethics. [09:46] Shiori     This is Ayase Saki.     She works at the bookstore with me. [09:52] Kudo     Nice to meet you. I'm Kudo Eiha. [10:03] Kudo     I can tell you're struggling     with something right now. [10:08] Kudo     We've got some time, so would you     mind joining me in my office? [10:12] Kudo     I may be able to give you     the answer you're looking for. [10:16] Shiori     Always hitting on someone... [10:20] Kudo     Get on up here. [10:42] Kudo     To be honest, I've already heard      a bit about you from Yomiuri-kun. [10:48] Saki     About me? [10:50] Kudo     Yes. More precisely, about the two of you. [10:55] Kudo     You know? [10:57] Kudo     Let me think... What was it she called him? [11:01] Saki     Do you mean Asamura-kun? [11:03] Kudo     Ah, so his name's Asamura-kun. [11:07] Saki     You had no idea, did you? [11:09] Kudo     Correct. I didn't know his name yet. [11:13] Kudo     Surprisingly, Yomiuri-kun is actually     pretty careful with personal info. SIGN    Metaethics SIGN    Kudo Eiha SIGN    General Ethics [11:20] Kudo     I'll cut to the chase. You've fallen     for Asamura-kun, haven't you? [11:26] Kudo     However, according to     conventional ethical standards, [11:31] Kudo     he's someone you shouldn't have feelings for. [11:35] Saki     What makes you say that? [11:39] Kudo     Well, that's all the proof I needed. [11:45] Saki     I don't think I like you very much. [11:51] Kudo     I do like honest girls, though. [11:54] Kudo     So? I asked you a question.     Do you like Asamura-kun? [12:00] Saki     I think he's a good brother. [12:02] Kudo     Not that kind of "like." I'm asking if     you have romantic feelings for him. [12:07] Saki     He's my brother. [12:09] Kudo     But you're not related. [12:11] Saki     A stepbrother is still a brother. [12:15] Kudo     Yet he's only been one for three short months. [12:24] Saki     I'm not really sure myself. [12:29] Kaho     Asamura-san. [12:32] Yuta     Going to lunch, Fujinami-san? [12:34] Kaho     Yes, and... [12:36] Kaho     since you came to sit near me,     I thought maybe you had something to say. [12:42] Yuta     Oh, yeah, but it isn't really      anything important. [12:47] Kaho     It isn't? Are you going anywhere for lunch? [12:51] Yuta     I was thinking the convenience store. [12:53] Kaho     Me, too. We can eat in the lounge. SIGN    Egg Salad SIGN    Egg Salad SIGN    Sockeye     Salmon SIGN    Kelp SIGN    Spicy Cod Roe [13:12] Kudo     And that's what changed for     you over these three months? [13:23] Kudo     I think we have a misunderstanding. [13:26] Saki     What do you mean? [13:28] Kudo     What if those aren't romantic feelings at all? [13:32] Saki     That can't be... [13:33] Kudo     Hey, relax. Let's just think about this. [13:35] Kudo     According to what Yomiuri-kun told me, [13:38] Kudo     it sounds like your personal     style is to come off strong. [13:43] Saki     Yeah... [13:45] Kudo     But for you, the way you dress     is performative, isn't it? [13:49] Kudo     You use fashion as a way to show yourself off. [13:57] Kudo     Your appearance is something     you've constructed very carefully. [14:01] Kudo     However, though you're still a high schooler     on the inside, the fact that you came [14:05] Kudo     to see a top college makes me think      you're much more serious than that. [14:11] Saki     It was recommended to me     at a parent-teacher meeting. [14:14] Kudo     The persona you're showing off to the world [14:17] Kudo     wouldn't come visit a school like this     just because a teacher told her to. [14:24] Saki     I'm not trying to act like some easy girl,     and I don't want people to think I'm one. [14:32] Saki     I just want to prove that I can use what     I have to look "cute" or "pretty" or whatever, [14:38] Saki     and for people to see that. [14:44] Saki     And I didn't come today     because I'm a serious student. [14:49] Saki     I just thought it might help me     make the best life I can for myself. [14:57] Saki     I'm trying to convince myself that it will. [15:06] Kudo     That explains it. [15:08] Kudo     Your seemingly contradictory     appearance and personality [15:12] Kudo     are both things you've crafted intentionally. [15:19] Kudo     But I'll also add this. [15:22] Kudo     You're the kind of person who absolutely     doesn't want others seeing her weaknesses. [15:28] Kudo     Listen, I can tell you're the type who's     always fighting. Always by yourself. [15:34] Kudo     The stronger the fight,     the more you need love and approval. [15:39] Kudo     So when shown the     tiniest gesture of support, [15:43] Kudo     you immediately get attached. [15:47] Kaho     I was actually going to turn you down. [15:50] Yuta     Turn me down? [15:52] Kaho     I was gonna say, "I come to     cram school to study, not for that." [15:57] Yuta     So you thought I was hitting on you? [16:00] Kaho     But it doesn't seem that way now. [16:02] Kaho     As soon as we started eating,     the conversation hit a dead end. [16:10] Kaho     Sorry. I don't go to school,     so people think I must be really easy. [16:16] Yuta     You don't go to school? [16:18] Yuta     Oh, sorry. You don't have to go into detail. [16:21] Kaho     It's all right. To be clear,     I don't go to school during the day. [16:28] Yuta     Oh, you go to night school? [16:31] Kaho     If I say "night school," "female,"     and "hangs out in arcades at midnight," [16:35] Kaho     what kind of person would you imagine? [16:39] Yuta     I'd just think she's a night school student     who goes to arcades late at night. [16:46] Kaho     Would you really? [16:49] Yuta     Yeah. Why? [16:51] Kaho     You wouldn't hit on me because     you thought I was an easy lay? [16:57] Yuta     Sorry. I don't know anyone else     who goes to night school, [17:01] Yuta     so I don't have any preconceptions about that. [17:05] Kaho     Huh. [17:06] Kaho     I like that you're so unbiased.     Do you look at everything impartially? [17:12] Yuta     Well, I think I make an effort to be. [17:22] Kudo     I'd bet that you know very few people who     truly understand who you are deep down. [17:30] Kudo     That's why, arbitrary as it was, you fell for     someone who suddenly appeared by your side. [17:35] Saki     No, that's... [17:37] Kudo     Not what happened?     Can you say that with confidence? [17:45] Kudo     You should try engaging     with a wider variety of people. [17:48] Kudo     You might find someone else     you're drawn to one day, [17:53] Kudo     and that may help you resolve     these issues without all the stress. [17:58] Saki     I should meet someone else? [18:00] Kudo     I'm not telling you to go out and find a lover. [18:04] Kudo     But a limited perspective is the     enemy of reason and intellect. [18:09] Saki     I think I can agree. [18:11] Kudo     Good. [18:14] Kudo     However... [18:18] Kudo     If you connect with another     person you're attracted to [18:22] Kudo     and your feelings remain unchanged, [18:28] Kudo     then those are your true feelings,     and you should always treasure them. [18:41] Saki     All right. [18:43] Kudo     There you go. It's also important     not to be so stubborn, Saki-chan. [18:49] Saki     Would you mind calling me Ayase?

[19:41] Yuta     Okay, thanks. [19:44] Yuta     Um, you didn't see a rice ball you     wanted at the convenience store? [19:50] Kaho     You were watching me? [19:52] Yuta     Yeah...

[20:22] Saki     There was also a really weird professor there. [20:25] Yuta     Weird? [20:26] Saki     I'm not sure how else to describe her.     We kinda got into an argument. [20:32] Saki     I was exhausted by the end of it. [20:34] Yuta     But you had fun, right? [20:37] Saki     Oh, yeah, I did. [20:40] Yuta     Are you thinking of going to Tsukinomiya now? [20:44] Saki     I think at college, [20:46] Saki     it all begins when you start to realize      how you think about things. [20:51] Saki     Like a place you go to work things out. [20:54] Saki     I do think I want to give it a shot now. [20:57] Yuta     Yeah? That's great. [21:02] Saki     So what about you, Big Brother? [21:05] Saki     Will you keep going to that study lounge? [21:09] Yuta     Well, I guess so. [21:11] Yuta     I'm supposed to meet a friend from     cram school for lunch again tomorrow.

[00:01] Saki     What if the difference between     being good or bad at a subject [00:04] Saki     isn't a matter of knowing the right answers, [00:07] Saki     but rather a matter of knowing     how to find the right answers? [00:12] Saki     When you're bad at a subject, it's hard to     find helpful sample questions in textbooks [00:17] Saki     or search for them online. [00:19] Saki     So what should you do in that situation? [00:23] Saki     A few months ago, I don't think I knew. [00:27] Saki     But now I think I do. [00:31] Saki     The answer is to rely on someone. [00:33] Saki     Admit your shortcomings     and ask someone to teach you. [00:37] Saki     Then learn their shortcomings and see if     you can teach them something in return. [00:43] Saki     Give and take. [00:46] Saki     I was familiar with the concept,     but I think I understand it better now. [00:51] Saki     Leaning on other people is a skill.

[01:12] Saki     If you want to ask for something,     you should say so. [01:14] Saki     If we could learn to understand each other's     feelings and compromise more, [01:18] Saki     everyone would be happier. [01:20] Saki     That's what I believe now.

Okay, can you take this, then? [01:58] Saki     Thanks. [02:00] Keisuke     You've got enough to carry already. [02:06] Saki     You're a real gentleman. [02:08] Keisuke     I'm really not. My little sister's just      always on my case about that stuff. [02:13] Saki     You have a little sister? [02:14] Keisuke     Huh? Oh, yeah. [02:23] Yuta     Sorry. What were you just saying? [02:28] Kaho     I wasn't saying anything at all. [02:32] Yuta     You weren't? [02:34] Yuta     Um, so... [02:35] Kaho     You don't need to force a conversation. [02:39] Kaho     This is exactly why I'm worried     about you, Asamura-kun. [02:51] Kaho     The way you looked when     you showed up yesterday... [02:55] Kaho     You had this expression like you      were running from something. [03:01] Kaho     It's a look that I'm very familiar     with, so it bothered me. [03:08] Kaho     You were actually studying,     so you weren't there to hit on me... [03:12] Kaho     which means you were     probably looking for sanctuary. [03:21] Kaho     Would you mind if I ordered some pudding? [03:24] Yuta     Huh? [03:25] Kaho     The pudding here is crazy good. [03:32] Yuta     Do your problems have     something to do with love? [03:35] Yuta     Why do you ask? [03:37] Kaho     It all makes sense if you came      seeking refuge with another girl. [03:41] Kaho     As if searching for a new love     to escape a painful experience. [03:49] Yuta     The problem is... I fell for someone     that I never should've fallen for. [03:57] Yuta     And if I got what I want now, it would     cause problems for everyone I know. [04:02] Yuta     I know I need to forget the whole thing. [04:06] Yuta     But I don't think I can. [04:13] Kaho     That sounds serious. [04:19] Kaho     Do you have time after cram school? [04:24] Kaho     Let's hit the town tonight.     I want you to come out with me. [04:50] Saki     Um... [04:51] Keisuke     I really like you, Ayase. [04:57] Saki     I'm flattered. [05:00] Saki     I'm glad... that you told me... [05:06] Saki     But I'm sorry. [05:11] Saki     I don't think I'll ever be     able to see you that way. [05:21] Keisuke     Are you going out with someone? [05:24] Saki     No, I'm not. [05:26] Keisuke     Do you have a crush on anyone? [05:29] Saki     No, I... don't. [05:32] Keisuke     But it still wouldn't work? [05:36] Saki     It still wouldn't work. [05:43] Keisuke     Sorry. I won't bother you about it again. [05:49] Keisuke     See you later. [06:00] Kudo     If you connect with another     person you're attracted to [06:04] Kudo     and your feelings remain unchanged, SIGN    Sorry, Ayase-san.     I have to go somewhere, so I'll be home late. [06:08] Kudo     then those are your true feelings,     and you should always treasure them. [06:25] Kaho     Don't all those people look lost? [06:28] Yuta     Huh? [06:30] Kaho     When I walk around the city, I feel like     everyone in the world is living a mistake. [06:37] Kaho     But I think that's the only way     some people know how to live. [06:43] Kaho     I was one of them. In middle school,     I was among all these useless people. [06:50] Yuta     Why are you telling me this? [06:56] Kaho     Because you remind me of     my old self, and it pisses me off. [07:03] Kaho     You were raised without anyone... [07:06] Kaho     I mean, without any women     you could count on, right? [07:12] Kaho     You're able to face things objectively.      That's a real gift. [07:19] Kaho     But if I had to guess how you developed that, [07:24] Kaho     I'd say it's because you grew up     without a woman to depend on. [07:29] Yuta     Was it the same for you, Fujinami-san? [07:36] Kaho     Yes. [07:37] Kaho     But I lost my faith in humanity as a whole. [07:44] Kaho     I lost both of my parents in an accident     when I was in middle school. [07:49] Kaho     I found out that both of their families     had opposed their marriage. [07:55] Kaho     Everyone mocked them at the funeral,     saying they got what they asked for. [08:07] Kaho     The emotion that came over me at     the time wasn't hatred or sadness... [08:20] Kaho     but a sense of resignation. Of giving up. [08:31] Kaho     Ah, what a shame. [08:35] Kaho     Tonight's the harvest moon, you know. [08:41] Kaho     You say you have no faith in women, [08:45] Kaho     but I think that's a lie. [08:49] Kaho     Until my auntie set me straight,     I was so sure of the way I felt, too. [08:56] Yuta     Your auntie? [08:58] Kaho     We're family now. [09:00] Kaho     She was worried about me staying out     all night and had the heart to adopt me. [09:07] Kaho     She told me something     the day I moved in with her. [09:12] Kaho     "You should try a little harder to make     peace with your heart," she said. [09:19] Kaho     To reconcile, or maybe more like compromise... [09:26] Kaho     She said, "Don't ignore your feelings." [09:31] Kaho     "You think you've given up," she said.     "But are you sure you have?" [09:38] Kaho     "I think you really did have faith in people, [09:43] Kaho     but you feel that faith was betrayed." [09:47] Kaho     "It must have been so painful for you." [09:53] Young Kaho     Daddy... [09:54] Kaho     When I heard that... [09:56] Young Kaho     Mommy! [09:57] Kaho     I guess I, well... [10:00] Kaho     I think I spent the whole night crying. [10:17] Kaho     Asamura-kun... [10:21] Kaho     Do you think you might be trying to     bottle up and suffocate your feelings, too? [10:30] Yuta     The feelings I have... [10:32] Yuta     I can't let out. [10:36] Kaho     Well, that would be fine [10:38] Kaho     if suppressing them would make     them disappear one day. [10:43] Kaho     But being objective and expecting nothing     from people are two different things. [10:50] Kaho     I mean, we're all human. [10:55] Kaho     We can't help having expectations. [11:08] Kaho     Deceive your heart all you want, but if     you don't resolve this, it will scorn you. [11:13] Kaho     And before you know it,     you'll be scarred forever. [11:17] Yuta     But I can't be that selfish... [11:20] Kaho     Yes, you can. Feelings are selfish things. SIGN    Monday, September 28th [11:52] Yuta     You know, I think I saw you     yesterday, Ayase-san. [11:56] Saki     Huh? [11:57] Yuta     Near my cram school.     Were you shopping at the store there? [12:04] Saki     Yeah. [12:06] Yuta     I was at the restaurant across the street. [12:09] Yuta     I think... you were with a guy who     looked like a classmate or something. [12:15] Saki     That was Shinjo-kun. [12:18] Yuta     Oh. I couldn't tell. [12:22] Saki     Now can I ask you something? [12:25] Yuta     Of course. [12:27] Saki     You were out late last night. [12:30] Saki     Where were you, Big Brother? [12:33] Yuta     I was walking around Shibuya. [12:36] Saki     Just walking? Uh... with Yomiuri-san? [12:40] Yuta     No, someone else. [12:42] Yuta     Remember when I said I was going     to lunch with someone? [12:45] Yuta     That was— [12:46] Saki     Wait. [12:48] Saki     Are we talking about a girl here? [12:53] Yuta     Um, yeah. [12:56] Saki     Oh, okay. And? [13:00] Yuta     Ah, right. [13:03] Yuta     It gave me a chance to think about things. [13:12] Yuta     So I want to work something out. [13:16] Saki     Work what out? [13:24] Yuta     Listen, Ayase-san... [13:28] Yuta     I think I have very strong feelings for you. [13:36] Saki     Liar. [13:37] Yuta     I'm not lying. [13:39] Saki     Are you joking? [13:41] Yuta     Do you think I'd make such a cruel joke? [13:44] Saki     No, you're right. You're right. [13:47] Saki     You'd never do something     so heartless, Asamura-kun. [13:51] Yuta     Did you just call me Asamura? [13:54] Saki     Huh? Oh... [14:00] Saki     You said you have strong feelings? [14:04] Yuta     Like, I really like you. [14:10] Saki     You mean as my brother? [14:14] Saki     Or as in... you want to touch     me and hold me and stuff? [14:19] Saki     Like, you get jealous when you see me     with other boys? Those kinds of feelings? [14:26] Yuta     Yeah. [14:27] Saki     But siblings can feel that way, too, can't they? [14:31] Yuta     Huh? [14:32] Saki     I mean, of course they can. [14:34] Yuta     Hold on... [14:35] Saki     I heard that when someone's starved     for attention from the opposite sex [14:38] Saki     and suddenly gets a lot of time with them, [14:41] Saki     it's easy to develop feelings they could     confuse with romantic attraction. [14:45] Yuta     That's just one possibility, right? [14:48] Saki     We can't rule it out. [14:50] Yuta     Yeah, well... [14:52] Saki     Maybe just you have stronger than     normal feelings for me as your sister. [14:55] Saki     Could that explain it? [15:06] Yuta     Ayase-san... [15:08] Saki     Sorry. [16:37] Saki     I'm okay with it. [17:02] Saki     Does this help? [17:10] Saki     Thank you for having the courage to tell me. [17:15] Saki     If you'd kept that bottled up, [17:18] Saki     it would've been so hard. [17:22] Saki     It really would have weighed on you. [17:31] Saki     But don't worry. [17:35] Saki     I think I can help you carry that weight, too. [17:42] Saki     Whether you have feelings for me     as my brother or something more, [17:52] Saki     I'm okay with it. [17:56] Saki     Whichever it is, I'm happy. [18:04] Yuta     Okay. [18:08] Saki     I'm not sure myself [18:11] Saki     if the feelings I have for you are because     you're my brother or... something else. [18:17] Saki     But if I can give you some comfort by     hugging you, I truly want to do that. [18:26] Saki     And if you could hug me when I need it,     it'd truly make me happy. [18:38] Saki     So let's compromise. [18:39] Saki     I don't want to cause any     trouble for our parents. [18:43] Yuta     Yeah. I honestly want them both to be happy. [18:52] Saki     If I know you're with other girls,     I might get jealous and anxious. [19:01] Saki     What do you think? [19:03] Yuta     Same goes for me. [19:05] Yuta     I wasn't... thrilled about the study session. [19:11] Saki     All right. [19:14] Saki     But you know, that kind of     jealousy isn't only between lovers. [19:19] Saki     I think it can happen between siblings, too. [19:23] Saki     So, Asamura-kun, [19:27] Saki     in front of anyone else,     we need to stay just brother and sister... [19:35] Saki     even if we're not really brother and sister. [19:42] Saki     Together, we can carry this weight... [19:50] Saki     as two special... [19:52] Saki     especially close... [20:02] Saki     I'm sorry. I can't. [20:15] Yuta     I'm counting on you. [20:18] Yuta     From now on, Ayase-san, I'll count on you. [20:22] Yuta     So I want you to know you can count on me, too. [20:28] Yuta     Let's... figure this out together. [20:36] Yuta     Let's protect what we have [20:40] Yuta     and figure this out... [20:43] Yuta     together. [20:50] Saki     Thank you. [20:56] Saki     Yesterday, we were still only strangers. [21:02] Saki     And this is the story of how we became... [21:07] Saki     a true family.
