[01:32] Taichi
    Aren't your parent-teacher meetings today?
[01:34] Yuta
    Yeah.
[01:36] Saki
    Did you want to eat?
[01:37] Akiko
    Yes, please. I wanted more time to sleep,
     so I didn't eat on my way home.
[01:42] Taichi
    If you go to bed now,
    will you be up in time?
[01:44] Akiko
    Well, I think so. Let's see...
    Let me go over things one more time.
[01:50] Akiko
    Yuta-kun, yours is at 4:20, right?
[01:53] Yuta
    Yes.
[01:54] Akiko
    And Saki... yours is 4:40?
    Did I get that right?
[01:58] Saki
    That's right.
[02:00] Taichi
    You really won't get much sleep, then.
[02:02] Akiko
    I'll be fine as long as I'm up by 2:00.
[02:05] Akiko
    The only problem is that no one
     will be home around that time.
[02:11] Taichi
    If you want, I can give you a call.
[02:13] Akiko
    Oh, thank you, Taichi-san!
[02:16] Saki
    Mom, Dad has work, too. Don't impose on him.
[02:21] Taichi
    It's fine! It's no big deal.
[02:24] Akiko
    Then I'm counting on you
    for a very harsh wake-up call!
[02:28] Taichi
    Sure.
[02:35] Maaya
    Hey, what are you up to?
[02:38] Yuta
    Nothing. Just killing time.
    My meeting is today.
[02:42] Maaya
    Ah, you too, huh? What time?
[02:45] Yuta
    4:20.
[02:47] Maaya
    Oh, ours are close. Mine's at 4:00.
[02:50] Maaya
    But if it's that late,
    you could've gone home first, right?
[02:55] Maaya
    I know Saki did.
[02:57] Yuta
    Huh?
SIGN    I have to go home because I forgot something.
SIGN    I'll go ahead
SIGN    and wake Mom up,
SIGN    and wake Mom up, so don't worry about that.
SIGN    Thank you!
SIGN    Thank you! Appreciate it!
[03:19] Maaya
    Hey, are you even listening?
[03:21] Yuta
    Oh, er, sorry. What?
[03:24] Maaya
    I was just saying... you're into Saki, aren't you?
[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.
[04:17] Yuta
    That's not really something you
     should be asking my permission for.
[04:22] Maaya
    It's not?
[04:24] Yuta
    No.
[04:29] Akiko
    So you two never ran into
     each other at school before?
[04:33] Yuta
    We probably did. I just don't remember it.
[04:39] Akiko
    What a gentleman.
    You don't ever stare at the pretty girls?
[04:44] Yuta
    That wouldn't go over well these days.
[04:47] Akiko
    Well, as long as you don't get any
    funny ideas, I don't think they'd mind.
[04:50] Yuta
    Can you really tell if someone's
     got funny ideas?
[04:53] Akiko
    Of course!
[04:55] Yuta
    You sound so certain.
[04:57] Akiko
    It's fine. If there's a misunderstanding,
    you just have to apologize.
[05:02] Yuta
    You've got thick skin.
[05:05] Yuta
    This is it.
[05:06] Akiko
    Thank you.
[05:09] Akiko
    Yuta-kun,
[05:11] Akiko
    I'll do my best, okay?
[05:18] Yuta
    I appreciate it.
[05:25] Suzuki-sensei
    So, in summary,
    if he keeps working this hard,
[05:28] Suzuki-sensei
    he shouldn't have any trouble getting
    into a famous university in Tokyo.
[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.
[05:54] Suzuki-sensei
    You'll get my stamp of approval
    wherever you want to go.
[05:58] Yuta
    Thank you very much.
[06:02] Yuta
    Ayase-san's classroom is this way.
[06:04] Akiko
    I'd better hurry. Also, thank you
    for what you said, Yuta-kun!
[06:09] Akiko
    I'm so happy you see me as your mom!
[06:12] Yuta
    Uh, please don't pull on my arm.
[06:14] Akiko
    I'm getting all teary-eyed!
[06:17] Yuta
    Oh, gosh...
[06:19] Akiko
    Yuta-kun, what do you want for dinner?
[06:21] Yuta
    Uh, well...
[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.
[08:50] Akiko
    And listen to this! Yuta-kun's
    homeroom teacher actually said...

[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.

[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.

    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.

    So she goes to a top women's college...
[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.
[21:17] Saki
    Oh, really?
[21:19] Saki
    That's great, Big Brother.
[21:22] Yuta
    Mm-hmm.
[21:26] Yuta
    She's right. This should
    actually be a good thing.
[21:30] Yuta
    Ayase-san met someone who
    made her want to try college,
[21:35] Yuta
    and I found a friend
    I can talk to at cram school.
[21:41] Yuta
    We're both making new connections.
[21:46] Yuta
    This is how things should be.
[21:50] Yuta
    We each have our own separate plans,
[21:54] Yuta
    and our paths don't overlap.
[21:59] Yuta
    Bit by bit, we're getting closer
    and closer to becoming

    a perfectly normal seventeen-year-old
    brother and sister.
