[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.
[00:55] Saki
    We can't read each other's minds,
    so if you don't tell anyone what you want,
[01:02] Saki
    they're left in the dark.
[01:04] Saki
    It isn't fair to make them guess.
[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.
[01:24] Saki
    But I've been violating my own policy.
[01:31] Saki
    There's one person I need to cooperate
    and share my honest feelings with...
SIGN    Episode 12 " and "
[01:38] Saki
    but I still can't do it.
[01:45] Employee
    Thank you very much.
[01:50] Saki
    Why don't you put some of that in here?
[01:53] Keisuke
    Hmm? 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.
