**[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*
