[00:03] ---
    The rain should stop soon.
[00:06] ---
    Let's wait a little longer.
[00:07] ---
    Okay!
[00:10] ---
    Say, it's almost time for final exams.
[00:14] ---
    We have student council elections
    before that, though.
[00:19] ---
    Yeah...
[00:20] ---
    --President Takei-san insists
    that you be his successor, but...
[00:21] ---
    --You alone are capable!
[00:23] ---
    --It must be you! Rather,
    I want it to be you!
[00:26] ---
    ...I suppose it's not something
    you want to do, is it?
[00:30] ---
    You're right.
[00:31] ---
    I don't know what he
    and others expect of me,
[00:38] ---
    but they've got the wrong idea
    about me. It bothers me.
[00:42] ---
    The real me is more...
[00:46] ---
    More what?
[00:47] ---
    Nothing. Never mind.
[00:50] ---
    Okay...
[00:52] ---
    The rain seems to be tapering off, Yuki-kun!
[00:56] ---
    Oh, it's Yuki.
[00:58] ---
    Haru!
[00:59] ---
    Hatsuharu-san?!
[01:01] ---
    What are you doing in the rain?
[01:04] ---
    What are you doing? You're soaked.
[01:07] ---
    Are you lost again?
[01:09] ---
    Looking for something.
[01:11] ---
    I was looking for this one.
[01:15] ---
    What a cute cat!
[01:17] ---
    Knew she'd say that.
[01:18] ---
    --Honda-san, she's a tiger.
    --Huh?
[01:21] ---
    Kisa Soma, a tiger.
[01:23] ---
    Her bites hurt.
[01:24] ---
    Oh, really? S-So she must
    be the zodiac tiger.
[01:29] ---
    N-Nice to meet you!
    Um, I'm Tohru Honda.
[01:36] ---
    Honda-san!
[01:37] ---
    Eh...
[01:44] ---
    "Fruits Basket"
[03:09] ---
    Oh, no, you got bitten.
[03:13] ---
    Y-Yes...
[03:14] ---
    I-I-It surprised me.
[03:16] ---
    Kisa, come here and apologize.
[03:18] ---
    U-Um, I'm fine, really.
[03:21] ---
    Kisa!
[03:22] ---
    Yuki-kun, Satchan doesn't talk.
[03:25] ---
    --Huh?
    --She can't talk.
[03:28] ---
    She stopped talking altogether
    shortly after entering middle school.
[03:34] ---
    According to Tori-nii,
    it's a psychological issue.
[03:37] ---
    It made her lock away all her words.
[03:40] ---
    Stuff happened that made her stop talking.
[03:42] ---
    and stopped going to school.
[03:44] ---
    Then today, she ran away from home.
[03:47] ---
    What?!
[03:49] ---
    That's why I was looking for her.
[03:51] ---
    I was surprised to find her as a tiger.
[03:55] ---
    Found ya.
[03:56] ---
    Did she bump into someone
    of the opposite gender?
[03:58] ---
    It seemed like she was just exhausted.
[04:02] ---
    So, what actually happened to cause this?
[04:07] ---
    You know.
[04:08] ---
    What?
[04:10] ---
    Bullying.
[04:15] ---
    That hurts. What, are you mad?
[04:19] ---
    Telling me not to shoot my mouth off?
[04:22] ---
    Yeah, right.
[04:24] ---
    You know how worried I've been?
[04:27] ---
    Your parents are looking
    all over for you right now.
[04:33] ---
    O-Oh, what should I--
[04:34] ---
    --Oh, you're bleeding, Hatsuharu-san!
[04:36] ---
    --Calm down, Tohru-kun. She won't go far.
    --Oh, you're bleeding, Hatsuharu-san!
[04:36] ---
    --Calm down, Tohru-kun. She won't go far.
    --We need to stop Kisa-san's bleeding!
[04:39] ---
    I'll go stop Kisa-san's bleeding!
[04:41] ---
    Calm down!
[04:42] ---
    You're too calm, Sensei.
[04:44] ---
    Haa-kun, did you quietly turn Dark?
[04:48] ---
    Uh-uh. Just grumpy from the pain.
[04:52] ---
    Don't know what to do with Kisa.
[04:55] ---
    You seem pretty worried.
[04:58] ---
    I didn't know you were so close.
[05:01] ---
    --Jealous?
    --No!
[05:04] ---
    --He's no fun.
    --Nope.
[05:05] ---
    These guys...
[05:08] ---
    I just feel like I have to help her,
    because she reminds me...
[05:11] ---
    ...of you, when you stopped
    talking for a while.
[05:18] ---
    You curled up in a corner and went silent.
[05:22] ---
    That was the only way
    you could protect yourself.
[05:26] ---
    She's doing the same.
[05:28] ---
    Shut up!
[05:30] ---
    Do you have to get so worked up?
[05:32] ---
    Yes, I do!
[05:34] ---
    Are you ashamed?
[05:43] ---
    You always like to rub salt into the wound.
[05:46] ---
    It's a bad habit of yours.
[05:49] ---
    It's my nature, I'm afraid.
[05:59] ---
    Kisa-san!
[06:00] ---
    So this is where you were, Kisa-sa--
[06:05] ---
    It doesn't hurt. Not at all!
[06:07] ---
    N-Not one teeny tiny bit! Nope!
[06:10] ---
    Anyway, will you come inside, Kisa-san?
[06:14] ---
    Kisa.
[06:17] ---
    U-Um...
[06:18] ---
    Kisa, my daughter. I've been looking for you.
[06:23] ---
    Shigure-san took the trouble to call me.
[06:27] ---
    Tell me, what are you doing?
[06:30] ---
    Why are you doing this and
    causing trouble for everybody?
[06:34] ---
    What are you thinking?
[06:37] ---
    Do you enjoy making trouble for me?
[06:40] ---
    Most mothers of children
    possessed by zodiac spirits
[06:44] ---
    are either excessively overprotective
    or reject their children.
[06:49] ---
    So, why didn't you tell me
    about the bullying?
[06:55] ---
    Why did you run away from home?
[06:57] ---
    Why won't you speak?
[07:00] ---
    I'm so tired.
[07:03] ---
    I can't take this anymore.
[07:07] ---
    She couldn't tell you.
[07:09] ---
    It's hard to tell someone
[07:12] ---
    that you're being bullied.
[07:14] ---
    I couldn't tell my mom, either.
[07:18] ---
    She found out after a while, though.
[07:22] ---
    For some reason,
    I started apologizing like crazy.
[07:28] ---
    I felt so ashamed.
[07:32] ---
    I started to feel ashamed
    of myself for being bullied.
[07:36] ---
    And I was embarrassed
    to let my mom find out.
[07:41] ---
    I was scared she wouldn't love me anymore.
[07:45] ---
    I was scared...
[07:47] ---
    ...to let people know about
    this part of myself.
[07:52] ---
    I desperately tried to hide it
    by pretending I was okay.
[07:56] ---
    That made me feel even more ashamed...
[07:59] ---
    ...and embarrassed.
[08:02] ---
    So
[08:04] ---
    when my mom said, "It's okay,"
[08:08] ---
    I was so relieved.
[08:11] ---
    She said that there was nothing
    to be embarrassed about,
[08:15] ---
    and I cried again, this time in relief.
[08:19] ---
    Kisa-san might also feel this way.
[08:24] ---
    She didn't want you to hate her.
[08:28] ---
    She couldn't tell you because she loves you.
[08:55] ---
    Stay here? Kisa will?
[08:58] ---
    Some things happened today,
[08:59] ---
    and I decided to take her in for a while.
[09:02] ---
    What "things"?
[09:03] ---
    Probably can't hurt.
[09:04] ---
    "Mogeta and Art"
[09:05] ---
    It looked like her mom
    was nearing her limits, too.
[09:08] ---
    Might as well give them time apart to heal.
[09:11] ---
    I have no idea what's going on.
[09:14] ---
    So where's Kisa?
[09:16] ---
    Satchan is stuck to Tohru like a burr.
[09:19] ---
    Huh?
[09:22] ---
    Did she fall asleep?
[09:24] ---
    Yes.
[09:25] ---
    She stayed close to you the whole time, huh?
[09:28] ---
    She isn't too heavy?
[09:30] ---
    No.
[09:32] ---
    I envy Kisa.
[09:38] ---
    Oh! Wh-Wh--
[09:40] ---
    Just for a bit.
[09:42] ---
    Let me do this for bit.
[09:47] ---
    I was always ashamed of my weakness.
[09:51] ---
    But I wanted someone to tell me, "It's okay."
[09:57] ---
    To be my support and give me the courage...
[10:02] ---
    ...to want to be strong.
[10:08] ---
    It's been three days since
    Kisa started living with us.
[10:16] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[10:18] ---
    It's a little embarrassing that
    you wait for me even at the bathroom.
[10:25] ---
    Sh-She's so adorable!
[10:30] ---
    Strangely enough,
    Kisa-san hasn't left my side
[10:32] ---
    these past three days.
[10:36] ---
    Which must mean that she likes me.
[10:41] ---
    She's like a duckling.
    Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
[10:44] ---
    Doesn't she find that annoying?
[10:50] ---
    I love you!
[10:51] ---
    She looks happy about it.
[10:56] ---
    I don't really get it.
[10:59] ---
    Oi, I'm hungry.
[11:00] ---
    Oh, okay!
[11:02] ---
    Kisa-san, what should we eat tonight?
[11:07] ---
    Kisa, you can't even say
    what you want to eat?
[11:17] ---
    Now, now.
[11:18] ---
    Ignore everything this idiotic
    and weak-willed fool says.
[11:21] ---
    Que será será, Satchan.
[11:23] ---
    Oi, get off! Don't touch me! It's creepy!
[11:26] ---
    Come on, no need to be shy.
[11:28] ---
    --I'm not!
    --As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
[11:30] ---
    --Aw, really?
    --As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
[11:32] ---
    --Oi, get off! You're heavy!
    --As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
[11:33] ---
    Oh, yeah? Make me.
    --As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
[11:41] ---
    Ta-da! Let's use this!
[11:44] ---
    Oh, gotcha. You'll leave it to chance.
[11:48] ---
    Yes.
[11:49] ---
    Kisa-san, point to the one you like.
[11:55] ---
    You want that one?
[12:01] ---
    Here we go!
[12:02] ---
    ♪ Cha-la-cha-la-la. ♪
[12:05] ---
    --♪ Cha-la-cha-la-la. ♪
[12:05] ---
    --What are you singing?
    --♪ Cha-la-cha-la-la. ♪
[12:07] ---
    And we have a winner!
[12:08] ---
    "Garbage Collection Notice"
[12:09] ---
    Tonight, we'll have...
[12:10] ---
    "Scrambled Eggs with Chives"
[12:11] ---
    ...scrambled eggs with chives!
[12:12] ---
    Someone's getting comfortable here.
[12:13] ---
    "Garbage Collection Notice"
[12:15] ---
    --Huh? Oh, no, that's not what I meant!
[12:18] ---
    --Go ahead. Make it.
    --Huh? Oh, no, that's not what I meant!
[12:19] ---
    --Go ahead. Make it.
    --Um, I'm so sorry!
[12:21] ---
    --No, I didn't it mean
    it that way. I'm sorry!
[12:22] ---
    --I'm sure she'll speak to me
    in an adorable voice one day.
    --No, I didn't it mean it that way. I'm sorry!
[12:24] ---
    --I'm sure she'll speak to me
    in an adorable voice one day.
    --Kyo and Tohru, sitting in a tree--
[12:27] ---
    --Shut up!
    --Kyo-kun, you actually
    understood that jibe? No way!
[12:31] ---
    But...
[12:33] ---
    ...she can't stay at Shii-chan's
    house forever, right?
[12:39] ---
    What will Kisa do?
[12:42] ---
    She's probably thinking that
    through right now.
[12:45] ---
    She seems like the type to overthink things,
    since she's a naturally serious girl.
[12:50] ---
    It's probably how she
    pushed herself to this point.
[12:53] ---
    And there's her mom, too.
[12:59] ---
    Momiji-kun.
[13:00] ---
    Kisa-san's mom is okay.
[13:03] ---
    Yesterday...
[13:05] ---
    Is Kisa doing well?
[13:07] ---
    Yes.
[13:09] ---
    Kisa doesn't really like drier foods.
[13:13] ---
    She loves scrambled eggs with chives.
[13:16] ---
    Does that mean that
    Kisa's Mutti is thinking of her?
[13:22] ---
    Otherwise, she wouldn't have called, right?
[13:24] ---
    Exactly!
[13:27] ---
    Yeah.
[13:29] ---
    Still, why was she being bullied?
[13:34] ---
    I forget.
[13:35] ---
    --Come on.
    --I know.
[13:38] ---
    I heard my aunts gossiping about it.
[13:42] ---
    Kisa would have never told me this.
[13:46] ---
    They said it was because
    of her looks at first.
[13:51] ---
    Like her hair, eyes, and that kind of thing.
[13:54] ---
    They said it offended the other students.
[13:58] ---
    It's the fate of those possessed by an animal
    with unnatural hair color.
[14:02] ---
    People made fun of me a lot, too.
[14:04] ---
    But you just turned Dark
    and knocked them out.
[14:09] ---
    I'm better than Kyo.
[14:11] ---
    He half-killed them.
[14:14] ---
    He was a real problem child.
[14:17] ---
    But the aunts said Kisa tried hard, too.
[14:20] ---
    She told the others she couldn't help
    what her hair and eye color.
[14:23] ---
    After that, everybody started
    ignoring her instead.
[14:30] ---
    And even though they ignored her,
[14:33] ---
    they'd laugh when she said something.
[14:36] ---
    They'd snicker at her.
[14:39] ---
    My... My classmates have
    never done that to me.
[14:45] ---
    So I could only imagine what it'd be like.
[14:51] ---
    I imagined how I'd feel if people
    snickered every time I said something.
[14:58] ---
    That would... That would make me so sad.
[15:08] ---
    All people do is laugh at you.
[15:11] ---
    You become timider.
[15:14] ---
    Then, you stop speaking,
[15:16] ---
    even though you know it'll annoy people.
[15:21] ---
    Everything becomes dark,
[15:23] ---
    and you suffocate.
[15:26] ---
    Your heart... and words die off.
[15:34] ---
    Come on, class is starting.
[15:37] ---
    Yuki.
[15:39] ---
    I'm going to Sensei's house today.
[15:41] ---
    I wanna see Kisa.
    And I have something for her.
[15:44] ---
    Something for her?
[15:45] ---
    A letter.
[15:47] ---
    From her homeroom teacher.
[15:49] ---
    It'll probably make us wanna puke.
[15:52] ---
    See you.
[15:56] ---
    I don't think being weak is a good thing...
[16:00] ---
    ...but I also don't think "stronger"
    necessarily means "better."
[16:03] ---
    You sometimes hear
    that it's survival of the fittest.
[16:07] ---
    But we're humans, not animals.
[16:12] ---
    Even those of the zodiac are human.
[16:18] ---
    Yes.
[16:22] ---
    Yes!
[16:30] ---
    I feel a little braver.
[16:38] ---
    What's it say?
[16:43] ---
    "Soma-san, how are you?
[16:46] ---
    Will you come back to school soon?
[16:48] ---
    The rest of the class
    is also waiting for your return.
[16:51] ---
    You can always talk to me,
[16:53] ---
    so why not try a little harder
    to make friends with everybody?"
[17:04] ---
    "The most important thing
    is to learn to love yourself.
[17:10] ---
    Find something good about yourself,
[17:13] ---
    so you can love yourself.
[17:15] ---
    If you hate yourself,
[17:18] ---
    how can others love you?"
[17:24] ---
    Yep, makes me wanna puke.
[17:30] ---
    I... I also...
[17:34] ---
    I also had a time when I stopped speaking.
[17:41] ---
    For slightly different reasons.
[17:45] ---
    But, like you,
[17:48] ---
    I felt embarrassed and hated myself.
[17:54] ---
    "Learn to learn to love yourself"?
[17:58] ---
    What does that mean?
[18:02] ---
    How are we supposed to find
    something good about ourselves?
[18:08] ---
    The whole reason we hate ourselves...
[18:12] ---
    ...is because we can only see
    the parts we hate.
[18:14] ---
    So forcing ourselves to find "good points"
    feels hollow, like we're making things up.
[18:21] ---
    It's not like that.
[18:23] ---
    That's not how it works.
[18:26] ---
    I think that it's only when
    someone says they love you
[18:31] ---
    that you're able to start loving yourself.
[18:36] ---
    I think when someone accepts you,
[18:39] ---
    that's when you start feeling like
    you can forgive yourself a little
[18:42] ---
    and start to love yourself.
[18:50] ---
    Yeah...
[18:52] ---
    Yeah...
[18:54] ---
    Yeah.
[18:57] ---
    It made me happy...
[19:01] ---
    --Kisa...
    --Kisa.
[19:03] ---
    Kisa, what do you plan to do?
[19:06] ---
    Do you want to stay like this?
[19:09] ---
    No...
[19:11] ---
    I can't.
[19:13] ---
    I need to try harder.
[19:18] ---
    Or... Or else I'll turn into
    an even worse person.
[19:25] ---
    Even if we can't be friends again...
[19:28] ---
    Even if they keep ignoring me...
[19:31] ---
    ...I have to make sure
    to try a little harder...
[19:35] ---
    ...or else.
[19:38] ---
    You're right.
[19:41] ---
    Let's try.
[19:43] ---
    I'll try, too.
[19:45] ---
    And, if you get sad again
    or if it's too painful,
[19:50] ---
    come here again.
[19:52] ---
    She'll be here for you.
[19:57] ---
    It's been a long time...
[20:01] ---
    I finally got to hear your voice again.
[20:13] ---
    Big Sister...
[20:16] ---
    Big Sister.
[20:23] ---
    Kisa-san!
[20:29] ---
    I can't keep running away forever.
[20:33] ---
    Even if my heart is still overshadowed now,
[20:38] ---
    there will come a day when
    I need to confront my weakness.
[20:44] ---
    So that all those tears shed...
[20:48] ---
    ...are worth something.
[20:54] ---
    And so, Kisa, despite her
    still-wavering speech,
[20:59] ---
    said she would go to school.
[21:01] ---
    Yuki should've come, too.
[21:04] ---
    He said that he has
    something he has to do, too.
[21:07] ---
    Truthfully, I'm sad that Kisa
    won't be by my side anymore,
[21:12] ---
    but I have to bear it.
[21:14] ---
    Because Kisa-san mustered up
    her courage and is fighting.
[21:20] ---
    You can do it.
[21:21] ---
    You can do it, Kisa-san!
[21:26] ---
    Yuki-kun. What did you just say?
[21:28] ---
    I accept your offer to be your successor.
[21:32] ---
    I apologize for trying to avoid this.
[21:35] ---
    I want to repay you for the trouble
    by fulfilling my duties as a reliable president.
[21:41] ---
    I hope you will advise me in the process.
[21:45] ---
    Yuki-kun!
[21:46] ---
    --You accepted the role for me--
    --No, that's not it.
[21:52] ---
    It's not like I suddenly became stronger,
[21:56] ---
    nor did anything change.
[21:59] ---
    My body still trembles,
[22:02] ---
    but I'll keep facing my fears.
[22:06] ---
    What's important is...
[22:09] ---
    ...the desire to improve...
[22:12] ---
    ...which stems from weakness.
[23:44] ---
    "I'm So Sorry!"
[23:45] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[23:51] ---
