[00:01] ---
    Even if the world doesn't need me,
    I'll keep living for someone who does.
[00:09] ---
    It works for me.
[00:11] ---
    But my custody rights might've
    been at risk for a while there!
[00:15] ---
    "Custody"?
[00:16] ---
    There was more craziness
    after that, like moving,
[00:20] ---
    but I think I bounced back
    while I kept busy.
[00:23] ---
    Tohru was there for me, after all!
[00:27] ---
    Uh-huh...
[00:28] ---
    Seriously, Tohru is so cute! Like,
    the cutest in the world--no, the universe!
[00:33] ---
    But Katsuya Honda...
[00:36] ---
    You don't want to go see him anymore?
[00:41] ---
    I wonder how much time
    and effort it'll take
[00:48] ---
    for you kids to find your answers...
[00:52] ---
    Those words sounded ridiculous to me.
[00:56] ---
    Because I'd always felt like I was only
    born to take other people's contempt,
[01:01] ---
    and I only continued
    living to hurt people.
[01:06] ---
    Kyo-kun.
[01:12] ---
    Kyo-kun.
[01:16] ---
    Are you crying?
[01:19] ---
    Kyo, why are you crying?
[01:23] ---
    Don't tell me that you're
    in love with Tohru Honda?
[01:29] ---
    No.
[01:32] ---
    I won't fall in love with her. No way.
[01:37] ---
    Kyo-kun, this is Tohru Honda.
[01:43] ---
    What is she doing here?
[01:49] ---
    I knew.
[01:51] ---
    That's right--I knew from the beginning.
[01:55] ---
    About you, and about your mother...
[02:01] ---
    We met a long time ago,
    right after Shisho took me in.
[02:08] ---
    What's your deal?
[02:11] ---
    You're too young to dye your hair orange!
    Is that natural, or what?
[02:16] ---
    Wh-What's your problem?!
    Mind your own business!
[02:19] ---
    Don't get fresh with me or I'll kill you!
[02:21] ---
    Aw, it's so cute how totally
    not cute you are!
[02:25] ---
    Don't call me "cute," old lady! Hag!
[02:27] ---
    The little brat said something! Adorable!
[02:34] ---
    You're gonna get kidnapped
    if you don't stop bein' so cute.
[02:37] ---
    Better go home. You'll worry your mom--
[02:39] ---
    I don't have one! She died!
[02:43] ---
    And your dad?
[02:45] ---
    I don't need him! Wish he'd die!
[02:48] ---
    He wants me dead, too!
[02:57] ---
    That sounds lonely.
[03:02] ---
    I thought Shisho was the only person
    in the world who'd want me around.
[03:07] ---
    Mom always seemed like
    she was checking my reactions.
[03:11] ---
    Dad spewed hatred at me.
[03:14] ---
    The Somas looked down on me in contempt.
[03:18] ---
    Just about everyone rejected me,
    so she was like a ray of light. Hope.
[03:27] ---
    I wondered what the daughter
    of someone like her would be like.
[03:31] ---
    Today, I'll show you something special.
[03:34] ---
    My treasure!
[03:36] ---
    Tohru.
[03:39] ---
    I knew all along, but I stayed silent.
[03:45] ---
    I pretended not to realize.
    I didn't say a word.
[03:51] ---
    Because...
[03:58] ---
    It's not your fault, Kyo.
[04:01] ---
    You did nothing wrong.
[04:04] ---
    But you can't go outside.
    Outside is full of bad things.
[04:11] ---
    Come in the house with Mom, okay?
[04:15] ---
    Let's live inside forever.
[04:21] ---
    Do what your mother tells you.
[04:25] ---
    I'll never forgive you.
[04:27] ---
    I'll go in the house and wait for you.
[04:31] ---
    You'd better get your butt inside.
[04:34] ---
    Or else something
    even scarier will happen.
[04:52] ---
    Kyo-kun--
[04:56] ---
    I don't want to see.
    I don't want to think about anything.
[05:01] ---
    Not yet.
[05:03] ---
    So I put the memory of letting
    your mother die into a box...
[05:11] ---
    ...and shut the lid.
[05:17] ---
    Hanajima.
[05:20] ---
    Can you... uh... see ghosts and stuff?
[05:29] ---
    Why the sudden inquiry?
[05:32] ---
    No reason, just wondering.
[05:36] ---
    Ultimately, living humans are the
    strongest. That goes for waves, as well.
[05:43] ---
    The waves of the dead
    are most likely very weak,
[05:47] ---
    so those waves are drowned out
    by the stronger thoughts
[05:51] ---
    of living humans around them.
[05:54] ---
    As they are now.
[05:57] ---
    Right now, your waves are screaming.
[06:02] ---
    Why do you feel such regret
    in this graveyard?
[06:18] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:22] ---
    I'm unforgivable.
    I know that about myself.
[06:28] ---
    So... So...
[06:31] ---
    ...why do I look for her despite that?
[06:38] ---
    Tohru!
[06:40] ---
    Huh? K-Kyo-kun?
[06:44] ---
    --What happened? You're back so soon.
[06:45] ---
    --After high school...
    --What happened? You're back so soon.
[06:47] ---
    ...you'll be confined.
[06:51] ---
    Just like the previous Cat.
    Confined for life.
[06:59] ---
    I won't hope that anymore.
[07:01] ---
    I won't wish to make you my own anymore.
[07:06] ---
    I won't hope that, so please...
[07:10] ---
    At least... at least be by my side
    for the time I have left.
[07:16] ---
    I want to be with you.
[07:18] ---
    Until we're separated far apart...
[07:21] ---
    ...until the last moment.
[07:24] ---
    What is it that you want?
[07:29] ---
    Do you plan to keep
    deceiving yourself forever?
[07:36] ---
    Inside the castle...
    Locked inside the castle...
[07:41] ---
    --...until you die?
    --...until you die.
[07:42] ---
    I... I don't want...
[07:48] ---
    ...don't want...
[07:53] ---
    "I don't want"...?
[07:59] ---
    I'll never forgive you.
[08:07] ---
    Ta-da! This is... Tohru!
[08:11] ---
    Thank you!
[08:13] ---
    Are those shapes going to grill okay?
[08:16] ---
    Not to worry! You can leave it to me!
[08:18] ---
    Kyo! The food's almost ready!
[08:21] ---
    Kyo?
[08:24] ---
    Could he be asleep?
[08:26] ---
    He'll show up eventually.
[08:31] ---
    They showed up in my dream
    to smack down that thought.
[08:37] ---
    To remind me...
[08:40] ---
    "Know your place. Don't fool yourself."
[08:45] ---
    Because I thought maybe...
[08:47] ---
    ...just maybe...
[08:49] ---
    ...Tohru loved me back.
[08:53] ---
    Stupid thought.
[08:58] ---
    Kyo-kun!
[09:03] ---
    Please, there's...
    something I'd like to tell you.
[09:19] ---
    --Kyo-ku--
    --Me, too.
[09:21] ---
    There's something I've been
    wanting to ask you for a while.
[09:26] ---
    If I'm fooling myself,
    please, laugh at me.
[09:30] ---
    Make fun of me as much as you want.
[09:34] ---
    Do you...
[09:36] ---
    Do you... love me?
[09:46] ---
    Are you stupid?
[09:49] ---
    I thought you loved your mom best.
[09:54] ---
    Was that a lie? Is that all just...
[10:00] ---
    ...canceled now?
[10:03] ---
    I can't deal with this.
[10:07] ---
    It's not fair.
[10:12] ---
    Why did I wish to spend
    the time I have left by her side?
[10:18] ---
    If this is the result,
    I wish I weren't with her.
[10:23] ---
    Kyo-kun!
[10:25] ---
    I don't want to tell.
    I don't want her to know.
[10:29] ---
    I don't want to admit it.
[10:31] ---
    But... this just isn't fair.
[10:34] ---
    Please listen! I--
[10:36] ---
    You don't know anything!
[10:38] ---
    You don't know what I did!
[10:41] ---
    I pity you for loving me.
[10:48] ---
    I'm so ridiculously sorry for you.
[10:53] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:57] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:00] ---
    She would've lived. If I'd helped.
[11:06] ---
    Your mom would've.
[11:11] ---
    I... knew your mom.
[11:16] ---
    That day...
[11:19] ---
    The day of the accident,
[11:21] ---
    I was standing nearby,
    and I recognized her right away.
[11:26] ---
    Her profile and her hair color
    were the same as back then.
[11:32] ---
    I was trying to decide
    whether to speak to her,
[11:35] ---
    when I saw a car come
    zooming toward us...
[11:41] ---
    I thought, "Oh shit, I have to help her."
[11:44] ---
    If I grabbed her arm
    and pulled her back against me...
[11:47] ---
    But... But I'm not human.
[11:53] ---
    If I pulled her against me,
    I'd turn into a cat...
[11:56] ---
    ...and people would find out
    I wasn't human.
[12:04] ---
    So I let her die.
[12:11] ---
    Everything is my fault.
[12:16] ---
    She said she'd never forgive me.
[12:20] ---
    She was lying in a pool of blood,
    and she noticed me there and said...
[12:29] ---
    "I'll never forgive you."
[12:32] ---
    That's what it sounded like.
[12:36] ---
    I can't forgive me.
[12:40] ---
    I'll never forgive you.
[12:42] ---
    I agree with your mom.
[12:46] ---
    And I don't want you
    to forgive me, either.
[12:52] ---
    Not now.
[12:54] ---
    But what was worse in that moment...
[12:56] ---
    I won't.
[13:00] ---
    Is that what I have to say?
[13:07] ---
    My mom... I can't believe
    she would really tell you that.
[13:15] ---
    I can't believe it, but...
[13:19] ---
    But if she truly did
    say that, then... I...
[13:26] ---
    I...
[13:28] ---
    ...have to rebel against Mom!
[13:34] ---
    Kyo-kun, isn't there any way
    you can accept that I love you,
[13:42] ---
    no matter what?
[13:46] ---
    The eyes half-hidden behind
    his coppery hair were screaming...
[13:55] ---
    I'm disappointed in you.
[14:02] ---
    ..."I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm sad."
[14:08] ---
    That--
[14:09] ---
    Kyo!
[14:11] ---
    Kyo?! Stop!
[14:14] ---
    That was even sadder to me.
    It tugged at my heart...
[14:21] ---
    ...even more than my mom.
[14:26] ---
    So...
[14:40] ---
    Tohru...?
[14:51] ---
    Wait.
[14:53] ---
    Wait. This is wrong.
[14:57] ---
    No, this isn't what I wanted!
[15:00] ---
    Tohru... wait.
[15:03] ---
    This is...!
[15:09] ---
    Don't cry.
[15:12] ---
    Tohru?
[15:15] ---
    It's all right.
[15:19] ---
    It's... all right now.
[15:28] ---
    Never mind. It's okay now.
[15:32] ---
    I get it. It's okay, so...
    just stay quiet.
[15:44] ---
    Let me reach you.
[16:19] ---
    Where were you?
[16:22] ---
    Why didn't you visit her?
[16:26] ---
    Gonna run away?
[16:28] ---
    Say what you want.
    Me being there would hurt her.
[16:33] ---
    I can't protect her.
[16:35] ---
    It's better if you're with her.
[16:41] ---
    I see. So that's how it is.
[16:51] ---
    This is why I didn't want boys.
[16:54] ---
    Hey, can I order pizza?
[16:57] ---
    You "can't protect her"?
[16:59] ---
    What does that mean?
[17:01] ---
    Should you be able to catch her
    before she falls off a cliff?
[17:04] ---
    Or brilliantly save her from getting hit
    by a car, would that satisfy you?
[17:08] ---
    That'd be impressive.
[17:11] ---
    Who do you think you are,
    some kind of superhero?
[17:15] ---
    You're just a stupid cat.
[17:17] ---
    Shut up! When did I say that?!
[17:21] ---
    Yeah, sure, you're probably that great.
[17:24] ---
    But if I could be like you,
    I already would be!
[17:28] ---
    I wanted to!
[17:30] ---
    I wanted to be you!
[17:35] ---
    Fight all you want, I don't care anymore.
[17:39] ---
    Can I get nuggets, too?
[17:42] ---
    Screw you.
[17:43] ---
    Screw you! Screw you! Screw you!
[17:47] ---
    Screw--
[17:49] ---
    So did I!
[17:51] ---
    I wanted to be like you.
[17:53] ---
    I admired you so much.
[17:58] ---
    Why the hell did you have to say it
    before I did?! Easily, like it's nothing!
[18:05] ---
    Screw you!
[18:06] ---
    Screw you!
[18:11] ---
    But...
[18:13] ---
    You're only you. And I'm only me.
[18:19] ---
    We can only be ourselves.
[18:22] ---
    We have to accept ourselves,
    and... face ourselves.
[18:29] ---
    You did protect her!
[18:31] ---
    You did protect her, dumbass.
[18:34] ---
    Maybe gladness and happiness
    don't mean much...
[18:39] ---
    Maybe it's not like a hero's
    supernatural power...
[18:44] ---
    But you made Honda-san smile
    when you were with her!
[18:50] ---
    Do you seriously think
    I could do the same thing?
[18:55] ---
    Cut the crap!
[18:57] ---
    Get a clue and realize
    there are things only you can do!
[19:01] ---
    Don't make her cry!
    Get your damn act together!
[19:09] ---
    Don't just sit there.
[19:13] ---
    Me, the guy you admire,
    just gave you a pep talk. Dumb cat.
[19:32] ---
    Damn it.
[19:34] ---
    I hate that guy.
[19:39] ---
    But...
[19:41] ---
    After what I said...
[19:44] ---
    ...will she still accept me?
[19:48] ---
    And me?
[19:49] ---
    Do I still really love her?
[19:55] ---
    Why do I love her?
[19:58] ---
    What do I love about her?
[20:05] ---
    How much do I...
[20:11] ---
    Oh.
[20:13] ---
    None of that matters.
[20:18] ---
    I love her.
[20:19] ---
    I love her.
[20:21] ---
    I just... love her. Like crazy.
[20:27] ---
    Toh--
[20:34] ---
    My legs started running from
    Kyo-kun without my mind's input.
[20:40] ---
    How odd. This isn't right.
    It's not what I planned...
[20:46] ---
    When I saw him again, I was...
[20:51] ---
    ...supposed to smile.
[20:54] ---
    P-Please, wait... a little while...
[20:59] ---
    I'll be ready in a sec!
[21:02] ---
    Stop! Stop, tears, stop!
[21:07] ---
    I don't want to upset him.
    I don't want him to hate me.
[21:12] ---
    I don't want him...
[21:17] ---
    ...to be more disappointed in me.
[21:21] ---
    I was completely selfish, wasn't I?
[21:26] ---
    I just confessed my own sins,
    said everything I wanted to say...
[21:32] ---
    ...and ignored your feelings.
[21:37] ---
    And then I ran even though I knew
    that sometimes in this world,
[21:42] ---
    you never get the chance to see
    someone again to apologize.
[21:48] ---
    I thought I knew...
[21:52] ---
    I'm sorry I made you cry.
[21:55] ---
    I'm sorry I hurt you so much.
[21:59] ---
    This is the last time.
[22:01] ---
    I'm fine with that.
    I don't need another one after this.
[22:06] ---
    Will you give me one last chance?
[22:10] ---
    I want to be with you.
[22:14] ---
    If I'm going to keep living,
    I want to do it with you.
[22:20] ---
    You're the only one I want.
[22:22] ---
    Because I love you.
[22:31] ---
    D-Does that mean...
[22:35] ---
    ...you'll let me stay by your side?
[22:42] ---
    I-I can hold your hand, and be with you?
[22:51] ---
    You're already holding it.
[22:58] ---
    Even if it's been said dozens,
    hundreds, thousands of times...
[23:03] ---
    Even if the words are a worn-out cliché...
[23:07] ---
    This really is...
[23:12] ---
    ...like a dream.
[23:20] ---
    Kyo-kun.
[23:26] ---
    Just so you know,
    that was our second kiss.
[23:30] ---
    Huh?! Wha... Wh-When did...?!
[23:32] ---
    Figures she doesn't remember.
[23:35] ---
    Remember it on your own, okay?
[23:38] ---
    Or else I'll be lonely, you know?
[23:41] ---
    Okay!
[23:46] ---
    Can I... hug you?
[23:50] ---
    I know I'll stop being human, but...
[23:55] ---
    And being together means sometimes
    you'll suffer because of my weird body--
[24:01] ---
    Kyo-kun.
[24:04] ---
    Don't you know?
[24:07] ---
    I...
[24:10] ---
    ...love you, Kyo-kun.
[24:13] ---
    I love you.
[24:16] ---
    This love is totally invincible.
[24:24] ---
    Oh.
[24:26] ---
    In that case... maybe I'm invincible, too?
[24:31] ---
    Nothing to be afraid of now, huh?
[24:36] ---
    Not if you're here.
[25:06] ---
    Hey, you! Is your hair real?
[25:09] ---
    "Hey, you" is pretty rude.
[25:11] ---
    Call me Kyoko. I'm Kyoko Honda.
[25:15] ---
    Huh? Her name's like mine.
[25:17] ---
    How 'bout you? What's your name?
[25:19] ---
    Not telling.
[25:21] ---
    Aha. Guess I'll call you "squirt," then.
[25:24] ---
    What's a "squirt"?
[25:26] ---
    A squirt's a squirt.
[25:28] ---
    Katsuya Honda...
[25:31] ---
    You don't want to go see him anymore?
[25:36] ---
    I wonder how much
    time and effort it'll take
[25:44] ---
    for you kids to find your answers...
[25:53] ---
    Come by again sometime, squirt.
[25:56] ---
    "Honda Family"
[25:58] ---
    I've decided that, when I graduate,
    I want to leave here.
[26:05] ---
    No, I don't mean that in a weird
    "I'm going backwards" way!
[26:10] ---
    My whole life, I've avoided people
    and tried not to engage with the world.
[26:17] ---
    But it's different now.
[26:20] ---
    I'm a normal human being,
[26:22] ---
    and I can live in the world
    with you as a normal human being.
[26:27] ---
    I'm glad for that.
[26:29] ---
    So I want to engage more.
    I want to test myself.
[26:36] ---
    In other places, too.
[26:39] ---
    With you, if that's okay.
[26:47] ---
    When you leave here, where will you go?
[26:53] ---
    To a dojo run by someone Shisho knows.
[26:58] ---
    It's a long ways from here.
[27:03] ---
    I'll train there while I work.
[27:09] ---
    See, when I take over
    Shisho's dojo someday,
[27:13] ---
    I figure that's bound to come in handy.
[27:16] ---
    All my "outside experience" will.
    The good and the bad.
[27:28] ---
    I know I sound young
    and naïve saying this.
[27:33] ---
    It'd mean taking you away
    from people who love you.
[27:37] ---
    But I want to stop faking myself, so--
[27:40] ---
    Yes.
[27:43] ---
    You don't need to fake a thing.
[27:47] ---
    Shisho-san loved it when you
    talked to him about that, didn't he?
[27:52] ---
    Hearing you talk about the future...
[27:57] ---
    Seeing you want to live...
[28:01] ---
    I'm so, so happy.
[28:06] ---
    So I'm going with you.
[28:12] ---
    What? You don't mind?!
    It's really far away!
[28:16] ---
    You won't be able to see your friends
    all the time like you can now!
[28:19] ---
    It's okay if you need time to think,
[28:21] ---
    and if you don't want to come,
    you can say so--
[28:22] ---
    Believe it or not, I don't budge on
    what's really important to me.
[28:27] ---
    I'm actually quite stubborn.
[28:29] ---
    Well, I guess maybe you are, but...
[28:33] ---
    That's right. I decide things for myself.
[28:37] ---
    So I'm going to disagree
    with you about one thing.
[28:41] ---
    Mom doesn't bear a grudge against you.
[28:45] ---
    Even if she really did say she'd
    never forgive you,
[28:50] ---
    she didn't say it out of hatred.
[28:55] ---
    I'm absolutely certain.
[28:59] ---
    I won't budge on this.
[29:03] ---
    I'm going with you, Kyo-kun.
[29:07] ---
    Yes, I'll be sad to leave everyone.
[29:13] ---
    But being apart from you
    would make me sadder.
[29:20] ---
    I want to be with you--
    by your side, always.
[29:24] ---
    I don't want to be apart.
[29:27] ---
    I don't want to wait for you.
[29:30] ---
    Please take me with you.
[29:33] ---
    Squirt...
[29:35] ---
    What should I do?
    Tohru hasn't come home.
[29:39] ---
    I looked for her, but I can't find her.
[29:43] ---
    I can't find her anywhere! She's gone!
[29:50] ---
    Get it together.
[29:52] ---
    I'll...
[29:53] ---
    I'll find her, I swear!
[29:55] ---
    You wait at home. I'll help her.
    I'll protect her for sure!
[30:00] ---
    That's a man's promise!
[30:06] ---
    A man's promise.
[30:18] ---
    Thank you.
[30:23] ---
    I'm taking her with me.
    You good with that?
[30:27] ---
    I'll keep my promise.
[30:31] ---
    Hey, squirt!
[30:33] ---
    I'll hold you to that promise another day.
[30:36] ---
    I know I'm really late, but...
[30:40] ---
    I'll protect her for life.
[30:46] ---
    So we're good, right?
[30:51] ---
    Right now, even though I hear your voice,
    it doesn't sound like you.
[30:58] ---
    You're in a form I've never seen,
    and it scares me.
[31:03] ---
    But... But from now on,
    I want to understand.
[31:10] ---
    Just like you listen to me
    when I'm discouraged,
[31:17] ---
    from now on I want you
    to share with me when you are!
[31:21] ---
    I want you to tell me
    when you're hurting,
[31:25] ---
    or scared, or feeling weak,
[31:27] ---
    and let me worry about you!
[31:30] ---
    Because... Because I want
    to keep living together.
[31:36] ---
    To eat, study, and worry...
[31:42] ---
    All those things. I want to continue to...
[31:46] ---
    ...continue to live life with you!
[31:57] ---
    I'm always, always stupid...
[32:04] ---
    I never find my answer
[32:08] ---
    without getting lost a time
    or two along the way.
[32:14] ---
    Everyone is like that.
[32:31] ---
    I'm glad. I'm so glad I had you, Tohru.
[32:37] ---
    I can be cheerful every day
    because you're here, Tohru.
[32:41] ---
    Then...
[32:43] ---
    Then, I was born to meet you, Mom!
[32:49] ---
    If that's true, I'm sure glad.
[32:53] ---
    If that's true, I'm sure glad.
[33:07] ---
    I'm going now, Tohru.
[33:24] ---
    "Fruits Basket"
[33:30] ---
    Look at that!
[33:33] ---
    Ugh, what happened?
[33:35] ---
    Maybe we should call the police.
[33:38] ---
    No, don't get involved.
    Come on, let's go--
[33:43] ---
    What are you hags starin' at?
[33:46] ---
    I'll break your damn noses!
[33:49] ---
    She's scary.
[33:50] ---
    How are her parents raising her?
[33:56] ---
    I was already a wild child
    by the time I got to junior high.
[34:02] ---
    I ran with a bad crowd, did bad things.
[34:08] ---
    Dad didn't give a shit about his family.
[34:11] ---
    Mom only worried about her husband
    and what other people thought.
[34:15] ---
    We never went anywhere as a family--
    we rarely even ate meals together.
[34:23] ---
    I don't remember
    ever even getting a hug...
[34:29] ---
    Get out. You're a disgrace.
[34:32] ---
    The world needs some people
    and not others.
[34:37] ---
    You're the latter, you ungrateful wretch!
[34:39] ---
    Honey...
[34:41] ---
    You'd better never darken
    my doorstep again.
[34:44] ---
    Kyoko...
[34:46] ---
    Kyoko-chan, why?
    Why did you turn out this way?
[34:51] ---
    Do you know how angry
    your father will be with me later?
[34:56] ---
    Do you know what
    the neighbors say about us?
[34:59] ---
    Please, tell me why!
[35:06] ---
    Shoulda thought of that
    before you gave birth to me.
[35:10] ---
    I sure as hell didn't ask to be born!
[35:14] ---
    I didn't trust my parents or the crowd
    I ran with. So I got hurt.
[35:21] ---
    When I rode my bike at night,
[35:25] ---
    I'd get these urges to burst out
    laughing and crying at the same time.
[35:32] ---
    I felt like I could go anywhere,
[35:35] ---
    and also like I couldn't go anywhere.
[35:40] ---
    Katsunuma!
[35:43] ---
    How dare you show up looking like that!
[35:46] ---
    You finally show up and it's like this?
    What, do you think you look cool?
[35:51] ---
    Call her parents.
[35:53] ---
    I only attended my junior high
    a handful of times.
[35:56] ---
    Come with me! We need to talk.
[35:59] ---
    So it was sheer coincidence
    that I even met him that day.
[36:01] ---
    "Counselor's Office"
[36:05] ---
    Sir!
[36:06] ---
    Aren't you ashamed of yourself
    for causing people trouble like this?!
[36:12] ---
    You're disturbing the students
    trying to study here, too!
[36:17] ---
    Enough with the bitching already!
[36:20] ---
    What, do you think yelling'll scare me?!
[36:25] ---
    Hey, stop that!
[36:26] ---
    S-Stay here until
    your parents come, got it?!
[36:30] ---
    Don't you run away!
[36:33] ---
    Think you're so great?
    You can't even look after one kid!
[36:36] ---
    And don't hold your breath,
    'cuz they ain't comin'!
[36:39] ---
    What's...
[36:42] ---
    ...got you so angry?
[36:45] ---
    Huh? Who the hell are you?
[36:49] ---
    If you wanna lecture,
    do it somewhere else.
[36:52] ---
    No lectures. I only wondered what
    was irritating you so much.
[36:57] ---
    That's none of your business!
    Just get lost.
[37:02] ---
    True, but I am interested.
[37:07] ---
    Everything, okay? Now shut up.
[37:10] ---
    Everything... everything pisses me off!
[37:15] ---
    Those guys, and those guys,
    and those guys, and those guys...
[37:20] ---
    You, too!
[37:22] ---
    I hate everything, and I hate all of you!
[37:31] ---
    You all treat me like scum,
    even though you're scum, too.
[37:37] ---
    Not like any of you are so great!
[37:42] ---
    I wish you'd all just get lost.
[37:45] ---
    You should all just die!
[37:50] ---
    Die! Just die! Go to hell! Disappear!
[37:55] ---
    Turn to dust!
[38:04] ---
    Still...
[38:06] ---
    ...you want their attention, right?
[38:12] ---
    You want people to show
    an interest in you.
[38:18] ---
    You want someone to need you.
[38:21] ---
    You want someone to listen,
    and understand, and accept you...
[38:29] ---
    You want to be loved. Right?
[38:36] ---
    I want that.
[38:46] ---
    Why?
[38:49] ---
    Why'd I turn out this way?
[38:55] ---
    Why did you turn out this way?
[38:58] ---
    That's what I'd like to know.
[39:03] ---
    Why, Kyoko...?
[39:09] ---
    Where did I go wrong? What was my mistake?
[39:16] ---
    I'm sad...
[39:18] ---
    I'm lonely...
[39:25] ---
    I wanted to be the kind of person
    who loves and is loved.
[39:31] ---
    So only managing to be this felt so...
[39:37] ---
    You're lonely?
[39:40] ---
    In that case...
[39:44] ---
    Let's get out of here together.
[39:46] ---
    Wh-Whoa, wait--
[39:48] ---
    Ah, yes.
[39:50] ---
    My name is Katsuya Honda.
    Nice to meet you.
[39:54] ---
    My first impression was, "weird teacher."
[40:00] ---
    Hey, is this okay?
[40:03] ---
    Is what okay?
[40:04] ---
    You're a teacher... Seems like this'll
    get you in more than one kind of trouble.
[40:09] ---
    It's fine. I'm just a student teacher
    with no motivation.
[40:15] ---
    Huh? You're not a teacher?
[40:18] ---
    I couldn't tell if he was
    an actual gentleman,
[40:21] ---
    or if the mild manners were just a front.
[40:26] ---
    He took a student he'd just met
    out of school without permission,
[40:29] ---
    then invited her to lunch
    like that wasn't sketchy.
[40:32] ---
    His actions made no sense.
[40:36] ---
    Why are you paying attention to me?
[40:39] ---
    Well, why do you think?
[40:44] ---
    Curiosity?
[40:48] ---
    That's right...
[40:51] ---
    ...Miss No-Brows.
[40:58] ---
    D-Don't touch me like we're friends!
[41:01] ---
    You're right. I'm sorry.
[41:02] ---
    Here you go.
[41:05] ---
    The only thing I figured out that day
    was that the ramen tasted good.
[41:12] ---
    Even if it did sting my cut lip...
[41:16] ---
    ...the ramen we ate together
    was really good.
[41:25] ---
    Did the other teachers get pissed
    at you for taking me out?
[41:31] ---
    Not particularly.
[41:33] ---
    I told them that I took you home
    because you were indisposed.
[41:37] ---
    And having an influential
    father always helps.
[41:41] ---
    Influential?
[41:43] ---
    My father was a teacher,
    although he's retired now.
[41:48] ---
    Apparently, he taught at
    this school for a long time...
[41:52] ---
    And he's a bit of a celebrity here.
    The "brilliant teacher."
[41:57] ---
    So everyone fusses over me,
    because I'm his son.
[42:02] ---
    Can they really want me to follow
    in his footsteps that badly?
[42:07] ---
    That kinda sucks.
[42:11] ---
    Yes, it does.
[42:13] ---
    But it's not all bad.
[42:17] ---
    Famous parents are valuable tools
    when wielded correctly.
[42:22] ---
    I won't be punished for taking
    a step or two over the line.
[42:27] ---
    You might suck the most here...
[42:30] ---
    --Thank you.
    --Wasn't a compliment.
[42:33] ---
    Well, I'm off to afternoon classes.
[42:37] ---
    Will you be absent again?
[42:39] ---
    Duh.
[42:41] ---
    I wish you'd come see me teach
    at least once, Miss No-Brows.
[42:46] ---
    I do too have eyebrows!
    Look, I drew some in!
[42:48] ---
    You oughta notice these things!
[42:50] ---
    Of course I noticed.
[42:53] ---
    Yes...
[42:55] ---
    You're prettier with eyebrows...
[42:58] ---
    ...Miss No-Brows.
[43:00] ---
    L-Like I said, I have them now!
    Stop calling me that!
[43:07] ---
    The manners were a front. And he was
    super quirky, and kind of detached.
[43:14] ---
    But...
[43:15] ---
    Crap. He's making a fool of me.
[43:19] ---
    He's gotta be teasing me!
[43:21] ---
    ...I was drawn to him.
[43:26] ---
    I even started going
    to school pretty regularly.
[43:30] ---
    Not that I actually attended classes.
[43:33] ---
    But I went, because Sensei
    would always meet me for lunch.
[43:38] ---
    How's the student teaching going?
    Do the others like you?
[43:42] ---
    It couldn't be going better.
[43:44] ---
    Seeming likable is my specialty.
[43:46] ---
    Wow, you're shameless...
    You're really good at foolin' people!
[43:50] ---
    --Thank you.
    --Again, not a compliment!
[43:53] ---
    And you, Miss No-Brows?
    Are you getting into fights?
[43:56] ---
    No.
[43:58] ---
    I looked forward to
    that short period of the day.
[44:02] ---
    Katsunuma! Why weren't you
    at yesterday's rally?
[44:06] ---
    You lookin' for a fight with us?
[44:13] ---
    The boss ain't gonna let it slide
    if you skip again!
[44:21] ---
    Wonder if Sensei's asleep...
[44:25] ---
    What does he think of me,
    this kid who started penciling in eyebrows
[44:29] ---
    and showing up every lunch hour?
[44:31] ---
    Why does he meet with me?
[44:35] ---
    Wonder if he has a lover...
[44:41] ---
    Hey... What are you doing right now?
[44:47] ---
    Huh?! Sheesh, Honda-sensei,
    your glasses are fake!
[44:52] ---
    Why do you wear these?
[44:54] ---
    Don't they make me look more teacher-like?
[44:58] ---
    What, seriously?
[45:01] ---
    You're so weird!
[45:05] ---
    My internship ends tomorrow.
[45:10] ---
    I'll be leaving this school.
[45:13] ---
    O-Oh, okay.
[45:17] ---
    A-Are you gonna... be a teacher?
[45:23] ---
    No.
[45:25] ---
    I only did this because my father
    and family have such expectations,
[45:28] ---
    I figured I'd play along for a while.
[45:31] ---
    Well, I suppose I wasn't
    entirely uninterested
[45:34] ---
    in playing the role of teacher...
[45:38] ---
    ...but now I can say
    it's not the job for me.
[45:41] ---
    Huh?
[45:43] ---
    My personality is warped, for one thing.
[45:45] ---
    Wow, so you admit it.
[45:47] ---
    And I can't un-warp it.
[45:53] ---
    My father is a strict man, you see...
[45:57] ---
    He had a lot of opinions
    about manners--and everything else.
[46:01] ---
    Before I knew it,
    I'd learned to construct a "me"
[46:05] ---
    that would satisfy him and my family.
[46:10] ---
    Because if I played the part
    and didn't show how I really felt,
[46:13] ---
    they stopped nagging me.
[46:16] ---
    Do you hate your dad?
[46:20] ---
    It's more like there's a wall there.
[46:24] ---
    But ever since my mother
    died a while back,
[46:28] ---
    he seems to have gotten so much smaller.
[46:32] ---
    He's lost interest in conflict.
[46:34] ---
    Oh, I get it... He's lonely.
[46:38] ---
    He feels alone with himself
    right now, just like me.
[46:46] ---
    If he didn't, he couldn't
    have said those things.
[46:51] ---
    I'm boring you.
[46:52] ---
    Huh? N-No, not at all!
[46:56] ---
    You're not.
[46:59] ---
    I want to know more. Know him better.
[47:07] ---
    But...
[47:13] ---
    I won't be able to see him again.
[47:20] ---
    Good night...
[47:22] ---
    ...Sensei.
[47:26] ---
    I-I thought I'd do you a favor and see you
    "teach" on your last day, but...
[47:32] ---
    Um... I was scared of the classroom.
[47:39] ---
    Scared to see what I already knew...
    that I don't belong.
[47:45] ---
    That it's too late to be one of them.
[47:50] ---
    I-I know I'm a coward for saying
    that when it's my own fault,
[47:58] ---
    but I really wish I'd... well...
    I mean, on your last day...
[48:03] ---
    I'll take you on a drive right now,
    Miss No-Brows. Anywhere you want.
[48:09] ---
    Huh?
[48:15] ---
    It's the ocean! The ocean!
[48:17] ---
    --Ocean!
    --You're like a puppy,
[48:20] ---
    Miss No-Brows.
[48:21] ---
    Come on, it's the ocean!
[48:23] ---
    "You big, dumb ocean"!
[48:27] ---
    I've never seen someone
    say that in real life before.
[48:31] ---
    Thank you, Sensei.
[48:36] ---
    You're a nice person.
[48:40] ---
    That's probably not accurate.
[48:43] ---
    Oh, really?
[48:45] ---
    Well, I think you're nice.
[48:49] ---
    I was like an abandoned street cat,
[48:52] ---
    and instead of shooing me away,
    you took me in.
[48:56] ---
    I love you, Sensei.
[49:01] ---
    I'm... I'm gonna work on myself.
[49:07] ---
    I'll study, and I'll go to high school.
[49:13] ---
    I'll do my best.
[49:16] ---
    I hate how young I am.
[49:20] ---
    I hate that I haven't lived a better life.
[49:25] ---
    I can't do anything about our
    age difference, but if I'd at least...
[49:33] ---
    If I'd at least been more human,
    like them... more girly...
[49:41] ---
    ...would I have the confidence to say
    "I love you" without feeling ashamed?
[49:49] ---
    Thank you.
[49:52] ---
    You make it sound like
    we're about to part for life.
[49:56] ---
    We are. I won't see you anymore.
[50:02] ---
    You child.
[50:04] ---
    There are plenty of other places
    to see each other.
[50:09] ---
    If you think that insignificant
    little place is the whole world,
[50:14] ---
    that proves you're still a child.
[50:17] ---
    Plus, studying on your own isn't easy.
[50:25] ---
    Back then, I didn't know Katsuya's
    motives for continuing to see me,
[50:32] ---
    so I was half thrilled and half hesitant.
[50:40] ---
    After that, Katsuya got a job
    in the pharmaceutical industry.
[50:46] ---
    I enjoy research and the act of thinking.
[50:50] ---
    I apparently suck at it.
[50:52] ---
    You just haven't tried it before,
    Miss No-Brows.
[50:58] ---
    You're a pretty quick learner, though.
[51:01] ---
    At this pace, you'll be ready
    for next year's exams in time.
[51:05] ---
    Really?!
[51:09] ---
    I like your hair better this way,
    without the curl.
[51:12] ---
    You tease me way too much!
    Pisses me off.
[51:17] ---
    He helped me study every weekend.
[51:22] ---
    But one day...
[51:25] ---
    ...I got punished.
[51:30] ---
    If you wanna leave the gang,
    you gotta help us set a proper example.
[51:37] ---
    What a dumbass.
[51:39] ---
    You really think life
    will give you a second chance?
[51:46] ---
    Next thing I knew,
    I was in a hospital bed.
[51:51] ---
    Cops and the teachers came and went.
[51:55] ---
    My parents always had
    some reason not to visit.
[51:59] ---
    After he went to all that
    trouble to tutor me...
[52:05] ---
    I can't face him now...
[52:11] ---
    I'd missed the exams.
    One thought kept echoing in my head:
[52:20] ---
    "You reap what you sow."
[52:22] ---
    Get out.
[52:23] ---
    We're disinheriting you.
[52:26] ---
    No--you aren't even our daughter anymore.
[52:31] ---
    Live and die however you want.
[52:34] ---
    Don't cause us
    any more pointless trouble.
[52:39] ---
    You reap what you sow.
[52:44] ---
    I'm reaping my punishment
    for all the crap I did.
[52:50] ---
    So if your child doesn't do what you want,
    she's no longer your child?
[52:55] ---
    --S-Sensei!
    --You don't acknowledge children as yours
    unless they never make a mistake?
[52:57] ---
    --You don't acknowledge children as yours
    unless they never make a mistake?
[53:01] ---
    Is that because you've lived
    blameless, exemplary lives?
[53:05] ---
    Or do you have a special right to abandon
    your parenting responsibilities?
[53:11] ---
    --Sensei, it's fine. Just forget it.
    --How dare you involve yourself
    in our family business?!
[53:15] ---
    The rudeness of it does pain me,
[53:20] ---
    but for better or for worse, you're the
    parents of the woman I hope to marry.
[53:25] ---
    You want to marry her?
[53:28] ---
    Are you sane?
[53:30] ---
    Yes, I think so.
[53:32] ---
    Saner than you, at least.
[53:35] ---
    Are you against our marriage?
[53:37] ---
    No accounting for taste, I guess.
[53:39] ---
    Do what you want.
    She's not part of the family anymore.
[53:42] ---
    Honey...
[53:44] ---
    I may come calling again
    if the paperwork requires.
[53:48] ---
    --Fine, as long as you
    don't cause us trouble.
[53:50] ---
    --Honey!
    --Fine, as long as you
    don't cause us trouble.
[53:51] ---
    Now get out!
[53:55] ---
    Come on.
[54:01] ---
    You just fell off the map. I was worried.
[54:04] ---
    --Sensei--
    --When I gave up and called your house,
[54:07] ---
    --your mother told me the hospital
    was releasing you today.
[54:09] ---
    --Sensei!
    --your mother told me the hospital
    was releasing you today.
[54:10] ---
    I had no idea that had happened to you.
[54:13] ---
    Ka... Katsuya!
[54:19] ---
    What you... What you said...
[54:23] ---
    You didn't mean it, right?
[54:26] ---
    I meant it.
[54:28] ---
    I'm sorry that's how my proposal happened.
[54:33] ---
    N-No, you don't have to do that!
[54:37] ---
    You don't have to go that far to
    look after me. You can turn me away.
[54:42] ---
    You've done enough, okay?
    I'll be fine now.
[54:48] ---
    So... you don't have to go that far...
[54:53] ---
    You wound me.
[54:56] ---
    Do you think I said that out of pity?
[54:59] ---
    Don't you trust me?
[55:01] ---
    I-I mean, it makes no sense!
[55:05] ---
    I don't get it. I don't get why
    you would choose me!
[55:09] ---
    Because you cried.
[55:12] ---
    When you cried and said you were lonely,
    you looked so human...
[55:18] ---
    ...and I felt so much love.
[55:22] ---
    I once mistakenly thought
    that other people were scum, too.
[55:28] ---
    But I couldn't cry with
    that kind of raw honesty.
[55:32] ---
    I can't cry, really.
[55:34] ---
    You were still in junior high,
    so I held back...
[55:42] ---
    But I never intended to let you go.
[55:46] ---
    Choose me.
[55:49] ---
    If you still don't believe me,
    if you need words to feel secure,
[55:53] ---
    I'll give you as many words as you want.
[55:58] ---
    What I refuse to do is stay silent.
[56:01] ---
    Choose me, Kyoko.
[56:09] ---
    Katsuya... Do you have Lolita complex?
[56:13] ---
    Where did you learn that phrase?
[56:17] ---
    It's your fault for being
    born later than me.
[56:28] ---
    You may be right that "teacher"
    isn't the job for you.
[56:35] ---
    Thank you.
[56:38] ---
    Not a compliment.
[56:45] ---
    No way! I don't wanna do that!
    Nope, nope, no way!
[56:50] ---
    I'm fine either way,
[56:54] ---
    but it's rare to see a girl
    so anti-wedding.
[56:57] ---
    Why would I do something so uncool?!
[57:00] ---
    That crap is not why I want
    to be with you, Katsuya!
[57:04] ---
    Okay, okay.
[57:06] ---
    We got married.
[57:09] ---
    Nobody celebrated.
[57:12] ---
    Apparently, the Hondas
    were unanimously against it.
[57:16] ---
    With the one exception...
[57:18] ---
    ...of Katsuya's father.
[57:22] ---
    There's no greater happiness than
    getting to live with the one you love.
[57:29] ---
    But you're both still young.
[57:33] ---
    You must accept the unwanted opinions
    of those who are against this.
[57:38] ---
    Then, little by little, you can let
    your attitudes prove them wrong.
[57:44] ---
    Show them that you're happy
    precisely because you're together.
[57:50] ---
    He's not "strict" at all!
[57:52] ---
    What the hell, man?! I psyched myself up
    'cuz I thought he'd yell at me!
[57:56] ---
    I told you he wasn't
    into conflict anymore.
[57:59] ---
    Want to stay for dinner? I'll order sushi.
[58:04] ---
    We lived near the ocean.
[58:08] ---
    That's not your usual reading material.
[58:12] ---
    Do you want a ring?
[58:14] ---
    Ring, shming.
[58:15] ---
    What I want... is this!
[58:18] ---
    I'm gonna make you healthy juices
    for when you're tired after work!
[58:23] ---
    My, my.
[58:25] ---
    I bet they'll look disgusting.
[58:27] ---
    Say that after you've seen them, you jerk.
[58:32] ---
    We always went out somewhere
    on his days off.
[58:36] ---
    It didn't matter where we went.
    Just that we were together.
[58:45] ---
    Huh? He's already home!
[58:51] ---
    "Welcome home," Miss No-Brows.
[58:57] ---
    "I'm home!" We're swapping
    parts today, huh?
[59:01] ---
    It's good to change things up.
[59:03] ---
    We just mattered to each other.
[59:10] ---
    Pregnant?
[59:12] ---
    Did you go to the clinic alone?
[59:15] ---
    Why?
[59:18] ---
    What's wrong?
[59:20] ---
    I... can't.
[59:25] ---
    I don't think I can birth a child.
[59:29] ---
    I'm happy that I'm
    carrying your child. But...
[59:35] ---
    A child is a person, you know?
[59:40] ---
    Am... Am I really qualified
    to mother a person?
[59:46] ---
    I've made the kind of bad choices
    people can see from space.
[59:50] ---
    Can I really give birth to a person?
    Raise a person?
[59:57] ---
    What if something bad happens
    to them because of me?
[1:00:02] ---
    What if they're bullied,
    or hurt, or crying because of me?!
[1:00:09] ---
    What if they tell me they wish
    I hadn't given birth to them...?
[1:00:14] ---
    I sure as hell didn't ask to be born!
[1:00:22] ---
    That was horrible of me to say.
[1:00:26] ---
    I don't know how Mom felt
    hearing those words,
[1:00:33] ---
    but if my child said them to me...
[1:00:36] ---
    ...I'd want to die!
[1:00:39] ---
    I said something cruel.
[1:00:44] ---
    That would've hurt me, yet I said it
    to someone else without a thought.
[1:00:53] ---
    Kyoko, you understand that this child
    will be their own person...
[1:01:00] ---
    ...so you'll be fine.
[1:01:03] ---
    Let's do this for our child,
    human to human:
[1:01:08] ---
    Remember the things others did that
    made us happy, or that made us sad.
[1:01:14] ---
    Let's hug them a lot.
    Touch them, talk to them.
[1:01:19] ---
    When they do something bad,
    let's really teach them why it was bad.
[1:01:27] ---
    And if... just if our emotions run away
    with us and we slap them,
[1:01:34] ---
    let's really apologize.
[1:01:36] ---
    And then let's hug them again.
[1:01:42] ---
    Let's raise them like that, together.
[1:01:48] ---
    Not alone. Together.
[1:01:55] ---
    I want our child, Miss No-Brows.
[1:02:03] ---
    And then, the most precious being
    in the world was born...
[1:02:11] ---
    Tohru.
[1:02:13] ---
    Let's go for a walk, Tohru.
[1:02:17] ---
    Quite the boyish name
    you gave her, isn't it?
[1:02:23] ---
    Katsuya says it's a "subtle seasoning."
[1:02:26] ---
    "Subtle seasoning"?
[1:02:27] ---
    Like how a pinch of salt
    makes something sweet taste better.
[1:02:32] ---
    He says he wants Tohru
    to be that kind of girl.
[1:02:35] ---
    That sort of makes sense
    and sort of doesn't.
[1:02:42] ---
    It is Katsuya, after all.
[1:02:44] ---
    Somehow, I get what he was
    trying to express, though.
[1:02:53] ---
    Is Katsuya helping out
    with the baby like he should?
[1:02:57] ---
    Uh-huh! He's good at baths.
[1:03:00] ---
    You'd be surprised, Pops.
[1:03:03] ---
    When Katsuya...
[1:03:06] ---
    When Katsuya told me he was
    getting married, I was overjoyed.
[1:03:12] ---
    He'd never seemed attached to anything.
    Never mentioned his feelings.
[1:03:18] ---
    I thought, "Oh, thank goodness.
    He felt love for someone."
[1:03:23] ---
    People are a mystery, aren't they?
[1:03:28] ---
    As they interact with other people, they
    give birth to all sorts of possibilities.
[1:03:35] ---
    Good ones and bad ones.
[1:03:39] ---
    I was a bad father.
[1:03:42] ---
    I caused Katsuya pain for a long time.
[1:03:45] ---
    I wouldn't blame him
    if he resented me.
[1:03:48] ---
    But he found happiness,
    thank goodness...
[1:03:53] ---
    Because he met you.
[1:03:56] ---
    Thank you, Kyoko-san.
[1:04:01] ---
    Pops...
[1:04:02] ---
    Katsuya doesn't resent you, Pops.
[1:04:07] ---
    If he did, he wouldn't come
    visit you like this.
[1:04:13] ---
    Kyoko?
[1:04:14] ---
    What?
[1:04:15] ---
    It's gotten a bit chilly.
    Did we bring a coat for Tohru?
[1:04:20] ---
    Yep, it's in the bag.
    Hang on, I'll go get it.
[1:04:23] ---
    Don't worry; I'll get it.
[1:04:39] ---
    Time went by, peacefully and gently.
[1:04:46] ---
    Tohru was Tohru, even back then.
[1:04:58] ---
    Gah! Tohru!
[1:05:01] ---
    What's the matter?
[1:05:02] ---
    T-Tohru's face! Her face!
    I'm sorry, Tohru, I'm so sorry!
[1:05:06] ---
    Does it hurt? It does,
    doesn't it? I'm so sorry!
[1:05:15] ---
    B-Blood...
[1:05:18] ---
    --You made the fearsome Crimson Butterfly
    faint, Tohru. You're a giant-slayer!
[1:05:19] ---
    --B-B-Blood...
    --You made the fearsome Crimson Butterfly
    faint, Tohru. You're a giant-slayer!
[1:05:23] ---
    Huh?
[1:05:26] ---
    We still went on lots of trips together
    after Tohru was born.
[1:05:37] ---
    The tender look on Katsuya's face
    whenever he hugged Tohru...
[1:05:43] ---
    I loved it so much I could cry.
[1:05:47] ---
    I thought this tear-worthy happiness
    would last a long time.
[1:05:55] ---
    Your business trip will be over soon, huh?
[1:05:59] ---
    Yes.
[1:06:01] ---
    Hey, you've still got that cold?
    Did you go to the clinic?!
[1:06:06] ---
    I couldn't find the time.
[1:06:08] ---
    You know better! Now I'm worried.
[1:06:11] ---
    I'm coming over there.
[1:06:13] ---
    No, it's fine. I don't want to
    pass this on to Tohru through you.
[1:06:19] ---
    I'll go see the doctor tomorrow.
[1:06:24] ---
    Is Tohru doing well?
[1:06:26] ---
    Yep. She's fast asleep right now.
[1:06:29] ---
    That's good.
[1:06:33] ---
    Shall we give Tohru some siblings soon?
[1:06:41] ---
    You gonna work on that?
[1:06:42] ---
    Indeed I will.
[1:06:46] ---
    All right, I'll call you when I get back.
[1:06:49] ---
    I'll be waiting.
[1:06:50] ---
    Keep warm tonight. And go to the clinic!
[1:06:54] ---
    I will. You take care of yourself, too.
[1:06:58] ---
    Good night, Miss No-Brows.
[1:07:09] ---
    That must be Papa!
[1:07:12] ---
    Papa!
[1:07:14] ---
    Hello?
[1:07:16] ---
    Yes...
[1:07:19] ---
    Yes.
[1:07:31] ---
    When his coworker went looking for him
    in the morning, it was too late.
[1:07:36] ---
    They say it was complications from a cold.
[1:07:38] ---
    He died too soon!
    He was just getting started in life.
[1:07:43] ---
    Why didn't his wife take care of him
    when he got sick? Where was she?!
[1:07:48] ---
    Probably fooling around with someone.
[1:07:50] ---
    I was against their marriage.
[1:07:53] ---
    Maybe she tricked him?
[1:07:56] ---
    What will they do with the child?
[1:07:58] ---
    Poor Katsuya-kun...
[1:08:02] ---
    He should never have married that woman.
[1:08:08] ---
    More.
[1:08:11] ---
    More. I want them to attack me more.
[1:08:15] ---
    Attack me till I fall. Beat me to a pulp.
[1:08:20] ---
    I want them to attack me more...
    until I can never get up again...
[1:08:35] ---
    It happened fast.
[1:08:37] ---
    Katsuya burned, and turned to smoke,
    and then he was white bones.
[1:08:46] ---
    Here, then gone.
[1:08:49] ---
    I apologize for asking you to come here.
[1:08:53] ---
    I considered packing everything up
    and sending it to you,
[1:08:57] ---
    but then I thought Honda-kun would
    probably prefer that his family do it.
[1:09:03] ---
    This is the room he was using.
[1:09:09] ---
    We haven't touched it since he passed.
[1:09:12] ---
    I'll be downstairs. If you need
    anything at all, just let me know.
[1:09:50] ---
    He's gone. He's gone!
[1:09:53] ---
    He's nowhere! He's gone!
[1:09:57] ---
    Katsuya!
[1:10:03] ---
    Don't leave me...
[1:10:07] ---
    Don't leave me behind!
[1:10:13] ---
    Katsuya...
[1:10:16] ---
    He's gone forever.
[1:10:21] ---
    I'll never see him again.
[1:10:29] ---
    --Cosmos flowers are in
    full bloom right now.
[1:10:32] ---
    --Why does morning come?
    --Cosmos flowers are in
    full bloom right now.
[1:10:33] ---
    --Why does morning come?
    --Why not make
    a family outing to the park?
[1:10:36] ---
    --It would make a nice date, too.
    --Definitely.
[1:10:38] ---
    --Why are those people smiling?
    --It would make a nice date, too.
    --Definitely.
[1:10:39] ---
    --Why are those people smiling?
    --And now the weather.
    Take it away, Kozumi-san!
[1:10:43] ---
    Thank you!
[1:10:45] ---
    --Today, it's the perfect weather
    for an outing!
[1:10:45] ---
    --Why is the TV giving weather reports?
    --Today, it's the perfect weather
    for an outing!
[1:10:48] ---
    --Why is the TV giving weather reports?
    --Pleasant temperatures,
    and no chance of rain anywhere in Japan.
[1:10:51] ---
    --Why?
    --Pleasant temperatures,
    and no chance of rain anywhere in Japan.
[1:10:53] ---
    --And now, let's go
    region by region...
[1:10:54] ---
    --Didn't the whole world die with Katsuya?
    --And now, let's go
    region by region...
[1:11:03] ---
    I don't remember much.
[1:11:05] ---
    I was empty for a while,
    after Katsuya died.
[1:11:10] ---
    Despair shone down on my head
    like it had replaced the sun.
[1:11:16] ---
    I'll just say one thing: don't even think
    about coming back here with the kid.
[1:11:22] ---
    Neither of you have a place here.
[1:11:26] ---
    That's what you called to say?
[1:11:29] ---
    Yes.
[1:11:32] ---
    Dad, you once told me the world
    needs some people and not others.
[1:11:40] ---
    That was a lie.
[1:11:46] ---
    It's a lie. The truth is,
    the world doesn't need anyone.
[1:11:53] ---
    Not a single person.
[1:11:56] ---
    Parents, teachers, bigwigs...
[1:12:01] ---
    Children, adults, me... Katsuya...
[1:12:07] ---
    The world doesn't need any of us.
[1:12:13] ---
    No matter who dies,
    the world doesn't even pause.
[1:12:19] ---
    Night and day keep on coming.
[1:12:24] ---
    The world clearly doesn't need anyone.
[1:12:29] ---
    But that's sad.
    It's such a lonely truth...
[1:12:36] ---
    That must be why
    people seek other people.
[1:12:42] ---
    We want to need someone.
    We want someone to need us.
[1:12:47] ---
    We want to find that someone.
[1:12:51] ---
    Katsuya... Katsuya was my "someone."
[1:12:59] ---
    I needed him.
[1:13:02] ---
    I loved him.
[1:13:05] ---
    I finally found him, but then...
[1:13:11] ---
    Welcome home.
[1:13:16] ---
    There's no one in the world
    to welcome me home anymore.
[1:13:23] ---
    Here's a question!
    What are the world's three greatest--
[1:13:26] ---
    --and in Croatia's capital, the annual--
[1:13:29] ---
    You're a real idiot.
[1:13:31] ---
    --supposed to be very healthy,
    so we've put together this chart.
[1:13:35] ---
    Yes, I sense a great power behind you.
[1:13:41] ---
    It's all right. No need to fear.
    He says he's your late husband.
[1:13:48] ---
    What? He's here?!
[1:13:51] ---
    Yes. He came to see you.
[1:13:58] ---
    Your husband has passed away, then?
[1:14:00] ---
    Yes, from an illness...
[1:14:05] ---
    He's been very worried about you.
    You mustn't cry forever!
[1:14:11] ---
    He's watching over you
    and supporting you,
[1:14:14] ---
    so you need to pull yourself together.
[1:14:16] ---
    I want to see him, too.
[1:14:20] ---
    I want to go see him.
[1:14:24] ---
    Where is he?
[1:14:28] ---
    Where can I go to see him?
[1:14:33] ---
    Should I follow him...?
[1:15:13] ---
    Miss No-Brows...
[1:15:16] ---
    Mommy!
[1:15:18] ---
    C'mon, Mommy, hurry!
[1:15:21] ---
    Hold on, we need the tickets...
[1:15:24] ---
    Here they are!
[1:15:26] ---
    Thank goodness!
[1:15:27] ---
    Sheesh, we're gonna miss the train!
[1:15:31] ---
    We'll be fine, silly.
[1:15:33] ---
    Hurry up!
[1:15:35] ---
    Okay, okay.
[1:15:36] ---
    Tohru...
[1:15:40] ---
    When was the last time I spoke to her?
[1:15:44] ---
    I haven't talked with her at all...
    I haven't heard her voice!
[1:15:49] ---
    What have we been eating?
[1:15:53] ---
    Oh no... It's been so empty,
    I can't remember.
[1:15:55] ---
    I think maybe Pops came by a lot?
[1:15:59] ---
    Tohru... Tohru!
[1:16:02] ---
    Tohru!
[1:16:12] ---
    Welcome home.
[1:16:16] ---
    I-I'm ho--
[1:16:23] ---
    I'm sorry.
[1:16:27] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm home!
[1:16:32] ---
    I'm sorry!
[1:16:34] ---
    I'm sorry... I'm home...
[1:16:38] ---
    I'm sorry I made you wait.
[1:16:41] ---
    Thank you for waiting for me!
[1:16:45] ---
    Thank you. Thank you, Tohru.
[1:16:51] ---
    I'm always, always stupid...
[1:16:58] ---
    I never find my answer
    without getting lost
[1:17:03] ---
    a time or two along the way.
[1:17:08] ---
    Even if the world doesn't need us...
[1:17:13] ---
    I'll keep living for someone
    who does need me.
[1:17:20] ---
    That's how I'll live.
[1:17:26] ---
    How will you kids live?
[1:17:31] ---
    I wonder how much time and effort
    it'll take for Tohru--for all of you--
[1:17:42] ---
    to find your answers.
[1:17:50] ---
    Be happy.
[1:17:53] ---
    Please... Please... Please...
[1:18:01] ---
    Tohru, I pray you'll be happy.
[1:18:06] ---
    I pray you'll be loved by many people.
[1:18:13] ---
    Live the kind of life
    you can be proud of in the end,
[1:18:20] ---
    even if you get lost
    or make mistakes along the way.
[1:18:25] ---
    The kind of life that'll earn you
    a "You fought well"...
[1:18:42] ---
    Have lots of happy times
    and sad times, and...
[1:18:59] ---
    And...
[1:19:28] ---
    Tomato, cabbage, okra... and peppers!
[1:19:35] ---
    She gave me lots of summer vegetables!
[1:19:39] ---
    I'll use some in tonight's din--
[1:19:45] ---
    Kyo-kun!
[1:19:49] ---
    Yo.
[1:19:51] ---
    Welcome home, Kyo-kun!
[1:19:53] ---
    I'm home.
[1:19:54] ---
    You on your way back, too? Welcome home.
[1:19:56] ---
    "Round and round and round"
[1:19:57] ---
    Yes! You're coming home
    earlier than usual!
[1:20:00] ---
    Yep.
[1:20:02] ---
    You're making me dizzy.
[1:20:04] ---
    Welcome home!
[1:20:05] ---
    Yes, thank you.
[1:20:08] ---
    What's that? I can carry it.
[1:20:10] ---
    No problem, I've got it!
[1:20:13] ---
    --Someone at work
    gave them to me as I was leaving.
    --You're always working so hard. I'm impressed!
[1:20:15] ---
    --She said it's because
    I'm always working hard!
    --You're always working so hard. I'm impressed!
[1:20:16] ---
    --She said it's because
    I'm always working hard!
    --I grew these in my garden. Please, take some. They should be delicious!
[1:20:20] ---
    I got something, too, actually.
[1:20:23] ---
    Fish.
[1:20:24] ---
    Fish!
[1:20:25] ---
    --Take these with you!
    No need to be shy. Eat up and get big!
[1:20:25] ---
    --Kinda the same deal.
    --Take these with you!
    No need to be shy. Eat up and get big!
[1:20:27] ---
    --It was kinda random,
    but he said I was working hard...
    --Take these with you! No need to be shy. Eat up and get big!
[1:20:30] ---
    I know it's only natural, but man,
    they still treat me like a child.
[1:20:34] ---
    No, that's not it!
[1:20:36] ---
    You really are working hard!
[1:20:41] ---
    Kyo-kun, you are working very, very hard!
[1:20:46] ---
    R-Right, thanks.
[1:20:49] ---
    --But aren't you overdoing
    the unconditional support?
[1:20:51] ---
    --It's the truth!
    --But aren't you overdoing
    the unconditional support?
[1:20:53] ---
    I won't budge when it comes to you.
[1:20:56] ---
    Stubborn girl.
[1:20:59] ---
    Still...
[1:21:04] ---
    You're working hard, too, Tohru.
[1:21:07] ---
    You are.
[1:21:44] ---
    --Shall we?
    --Yes!
[1:21:47] ---
    Come to think of it, it's about to be
    our first summer here, isn't it?
[1:21:52] ---
    Yeah. Time flies, huh?
[1:21:55] ---
    Wanna go visit the family
    sometime this summer?
[1:21:57] ---
    That sounds lovely!
    Shisho-san will be thrilled.
[1:22:01] ---
    I literally just talked to him
    on the phone yesterday, though.
[1:22:09] ---
    We'll visit the graveyard, too.
[1:22:13] ---
    Yes!
[1:22:15] ---
    
[1:22:17] ---
    
[1:22:19] ---
    
[1:22:41] ---
    If I'd never met you on this Earth
[1:22:48] ---
    If I'd been living all on my own
[1:22:54] ---
    I know for a fact that I wouldn't have
    been able to love a world like this one
[1:23:07] ---
    Safe far above these puddles,
    a kite floats in the sky
[1:23:19] ---
    If I know of any magic power that can
    turn the weakness I hide deep inside
[1:23:31] ---
    Into the strength to protect you
[1:23:39] ---
    That magic is your
    eyes and smile and love
[1:23:47] ---
    Don't cry;
    don't let the rain overflow
[1:23:55] ---
    Look up, it's a rainbow sky
[1:24:04] ---
    Something good is bound to happen
[1:24:18] ---
    If I could have just one wish
    come true in this world
[1:24:30] ---
    I'd send your sadness
    up into the sky on that kite
[1:24:42] ---
    My feelings overflow and they won't stop
[1:24:52] ---
    You'll never be alone again, I swear it
[1:25:02] ---
    I'm right here next to you
[1:25:54] ---
    Your eyes and smile and love
[1:25:59] ---
    Don't cry;
    don't let the rain overflow
[1:26:07] ---
    Look up, it's a rainbow sky
[1:26:16] ---
    Something good is bound to happen
