**[00:05] ---**
I hated going out as a child.
**[00:10] ---**
Ugh, so annoying!
**[00:12] ---**
Yeah, right, idiot!
**[00:14] ---**
Boring, I wanna go home and sleep.
**[00:16] ---**
Why'd I marry this guy?
**[00:19] ---**
This is boring. I want to go home.
**[00:21] ---**
That old letch!
**[00:23] ---**
Idiot!
**[00:24] ---**
So bored.
**[00:26] ---**
You just don't get it.
**[00:27] ---**
She's so annoying.
**[00:30] ---**
Saki.
**[00:34] ---**
--Saki!
--Saki-*chan*!
**[00:36] ---**
Sorry, I thought you'd be okay here.
**[00:39] ---**
Let's go home. Let go back, okay?
**[00:43] ---**
Be quiet.
**[00:44] ---**
Seriously?
**[00:46] ---**
Be quiet.
**[00:50] ---**
The voices...
**[00:52] ---**
...won't stop.
**[00:59] ---**
"Fruits Basket"
**[02:27] ---**
I know she's had this power since birth,
**[02:29] ---**
but as her dad, it's so frustrating
that I can't help her deal with it.
**[02:34] ---**
No hospitals! They might hurt her even more.
**[02:39] ---**
I'm worried, though.
**[02:42] ---**
As she gets older, she'll go through hardships
because she has power others don't have.
**[02:47] ---**
People won't understand her power.
**[02:51] ---**
A kind family.
**[02:54] ---**
Kind voices.
**[02:56] ---**
I didn't want to cause them trouble
because of my power.
**[03:00] ---**
So I tried to keep it a secret from others.
**[03:05] ---**
The witch!
**[03:06] ---**
The witch is here!
**[03:08] ---**
Say something, witch!
**[03:12] ---**
Stop it, boys!
**[03:13] ---**
But she's just like a witch!
**[03:16] ---**
She's all gloomy and doesn't talk.
**[03:18] ---**
How does that make her a witch?
**[03:21] ---**
Eat this!
**[03:24] ---**
Aren't you a witch?
**[03:25] ---**
My sister said that witches eat live newts!
**[03:29] ---**
I can't eat thi--
**[03:31] ---**
Shut it! Hold her!
**[03:33] ---**
--Stick it in her mouth! Get it--
--What are you doing?!
**[03:39] ---**
Ew! She ate it! She actually ate it!
**[03:41] ---**
Witches are scary!
**[03:45] ---**
--Witch!
--Gross!
**[03:46] ---**
--Shut up.
--Gross!
**[03:46] ---**
--Shut up.
--Scary freak!
**[03:49] ---**
If I'm a witch, what are *you*?
**[03:54] ---**
You think it's okay to do such terrible things?
**[03:59] ---**
I hate you. I hate you so much!
**[04:02] ---**
You should just die.
**[04:05] ---**
Just die. Just die.
**[04:08] ---**
Just die. Just die. Just die. Just die.
**[04:11] ---**
Die!
**[04:26] ---**
He finally regained consciousness this morning.
**[04:30] ---**
But then his mother, who had been by his side,
**[04:33] ---**
collapsed from the strain.
**[04:36] ---**
Do they know why the child collapsed?
**[04:39] ---**
Not yet...
**[04:41] ---**
I wanted him to die.
**[04:44] ---**
It's because I really wanted him to die, so it's--
**[04:48] ---**
Saki-*chan*, you mustn't!
**[04:50] ---**
When will the police take me?
**[04:54] ---**
When will I go to the police station?
**[04:56] ---**
I attempted murder.
**[04:59] ---**
But... there's no proof that your power did it--
**[05:03] ---**
There's no proof that it *wasn't* my power.
**[05:07] ---**
Saki.
**[05:09] ---**
I really...
**[05:11] ---**
I really wanted... to kill him.
**[05:16] ---**
Next time, I might actually kill someone.
**[05:22] ---**
I'm scared...
**[05:30] ---**
From then on, I only wore black.
**[05:37] ---**
Don't come to school anymore!
**[05:39] ---**
You creep me out, idiot!
**[05:44] ---**
The other students became
more prejudiced against me,
**[05:48] ---**
and distanced themselves.
**[05:51] ---**
I felt that I deserved it.
**[06:04] ---**
Hey, watch it.
**[06:12] ---**
Ouch!
**[06:14] ---**
Hanajima! You cursed him
just now, didn't you?!
**[06:17] ---**
No way! Hanajima cursed him?
**[06:19] ---**
It hurts!
**[06:24] ---**
He's staying the night
at the hospital, just in case.
**[06:28] ---**
But why are they blaming Saki?
**[06:31] ---**
Because they made a commotion
saying that Saki-*chan* cursed him.
**[06:36] ---**
Why, really! That's absurd.
**[06:41] ---**
Megumi.
**[06:42] ---**
Why are you reading those books again?
**[06:43] ---**
"99 Ways to Cast a Curse"
**[06:46] ---**
Granny said it might help us
figure out your power.
**[06:52] ---**
Saki.
**[06:54] ---**
Why don't you ever tell?
**[06:59] ---**
Why don't you ever say anything
about being bullied?
**[07:05] ---**
Do you think you deserve it?
**[07:11] ---**
Even if the police can't arrest me...
**[07:16] ---**
...I ought to be punished somehow.
**[07:24] ---**
For me to so deeply and darkly wish
for someone to die...
**[07:32] ---**
I must be punished for it.
**[07:37] ---**
Do you think that people exist to be punished,
**[07:42] ---**
nothing more and nothing less?
**[07:46] ---**
Are you going to live your whole life that way?
**[07:54] ---**
I will pray, then.
**[07:57] ---**
Because you shouldn't be
lonely your whole life.
**[08:03] ---**
In this world filled with people,
**[08:08] ---**
it's not possible that there isn't one person
**[08:13] ---**
that will cherish you.
**[08:18] ---**
So whoever you are, please come meet her.
**[08:23] ---**
If you're in a country far away, get on a plane
**[08:27] ---**
and come to Saki, as fast as you can.
**[08:35] ---**
Please.
**[08:42] ---**
I thought it was a ludicrous prayer.
**[08:46] ---**
A prayer that wouldn't be answered.
**[08:51] ---**
They say you make evil waves if you get angry.
**[08:54] ---**
Come on, do it once for us.
**[08:57] ---**
Hey, this isn't a good idea.
**[08:59] ---**
It's fine, just hold her down tight.
**[09:01] ---**
But I heard you'll die if you get hit.
**[09:04] ---**
What scaredy-cats. I'm not afraid of dying.
**[09:09] ---**
Here we go.
**[09:11] ---**
Here's something hot for you.
**[09:14] ---**
Don't!
**[09:18] ---**
Oh, did we give you an ouchie?
**[09:20] ---**
Poor girl.
**[09:22] ---**
Don't think of anything.
**[09:23] ---**
Focus on the pain, and clear your mind.
**[09:27] ---**
--Don't do anything! Don't let anyone die!
--Hanajima-*chan*, come on. Get angry.
**[09:30] ---**
--I don't want to kill anyone. Ever!
--It smells.
**[09:34] ---**
Please, I don't want anybody to--
**[09:38] ---**
What do you think you're doing?
**[09:39] ---**
--Crap!
--S-Sensei!
**[09:41] ---**
Hanajima-*san* was playing with matches.
**[09:43] ---**
We stopped her.
**[09:48] ---**
I'm glad.
**[09:50] ---**
Nobody is hurt.
**[09:56] ---**
Let's move. I know that you
don't want to blame those girls.
**[10:01] ---**
But your mother and I don't want you to be
**[10:04] ---**
in this kind of environment anymore.
**[10:09] ---**
You should leave me here and move.
**[10:12] ---**
I don't want to cause any more trouble for you.
**[10:16] ---**
Saki-*chan*!
**[10:20] ---**
Saki, please don't assume
you're causing us trouble.
**[10:25] ---**
Parents always worry about their children.
**[10:29] ---**
We adore our children with all our hearts.
**[10:32] ---**
Saki...
**[10:34] ---**
I love you, Saki.
**[10:39] ---**
So please, don't give up yet.
**[10:46] ---**
Hanajima-*san*! Why are your nails like this?
**[10:50] ---**
And on your first day, too. Remove it!
**[10:54] ---**
It's because the uniform isn't black.
**[10:57] ---**
What are you talking nonsense about?
**[11:00] ---**
You want me to remove my badge of sin?
**[11:03] ---**
What a strange adult you are.
**[11:04] ---**
"Saki Hanajima"
**[11:05] ---**
Sensei! Hanajima-*san*'s nails are black.
**[11:09] ---**
Apparently, it's her badge of sin!
**[11:11] ---**
--Let's go together after club activities!
--Even in a new environment,
**[11:14] ---**
--You can come, right?
--Even in a new environment,
**[11:14] ---**
--You can come, right?
--I didn't try to get close to anybody.
**[11:15] ---**
--Yeah! let's go!
--I didn't try to get close to anybody.
**[11:18] ---**
Doing so would feel so fake.
**[11:21] ---**
And I didn't want to forget.
**[11:24] ---**
Please don't give up yet.
**[11:27] ---**
But what do you not want me
to give up on, Dad?
**[11:39] ---**
Here you go.
**[11:41] ---**
We're giving out bigger
servings today, Hanajima-*san*.
**[11:45] ---**
I'm Tohru Honda. Nice to meet you!
**[11:49] ---**
The school food here is very tasty! I hope you--
**[11:54] ---**
Honda-*san*!
**[11:55] ---**
Talk later. You're holding up the line!
**[11:58] ---**
Oh! I-I'm sorry!
**[12:01] ---**
A ditz? And why speak so politely?
**[12:05] ---**
It's surprising there's someone
who would talk to me without hesitation.
**[12:10] ---**
Hey, transfer student.
**[12:13] ---**
I bet you're planning to eat alone.
**[12:15] ---**
That bothers me, so come sit here.
**[12:18] ---**
Another person who isn't intimidated.
**[12:21] ---**
You're a little too out there
for people just meeting you,
**[12:23] ---**
so most people are staying away.
Hey, Tohru. Over here!
**[12:27] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[12:29] ---**
Hanajima-*san*! Will you be eating with us?
**[12:33] ---**
I just scored her as our date.
**[12:35] ---**
--Oh! What a wonderful date!
**[12:37] ---**
--Does she speak politely out of habit?
--Oh! What a wonderful date!
**[12:39] ---**
Come now, let's eat together!
**[12:43] ---**
Please sit, Hanajima-*san*!
**[12:46] ---**
"Hanajima," huh?
**[12:47] ---**
As Kyoko-*san* would say, you're "Hana-*chan*"!
**[12:51] ---**
Oh, yes! Yes, you're now "Hana-*chan*"!
**[12:55] ---**
These two are strange.
**[12:58] ---**
Sorry, I'm not going to eat with you.
**[13:02] ---**
It's better if you don't involve
yourselves with me.
**[13:05] ---**
It brings all pain and no gain.
**[13:09] ---**
Does anyone gain anything
from involving themselves with me?
**[13:13] ---**
People probably get double the pain with me.
**[13:17] ---**
I wasn't trying to depress you
or make you burst out laughing.
**[13:22] ---**
Listen.
**[13:24] ---**
Yes, you're right!
**[13:25] ---**
I'll work harder to become
a person you can benefit from!
**[13:28] ---**
I wasn't asking you to make life goals, either.
**[13:31] ---**
Whatever. Don't nitpick about the little things.
**[13:35] ---**
You transferred in today,
the weather's good, we have food.
**[13:40] ---**
And you'll eat with these two weirdos.
**[13:43] ---**
Let's eat!
**[13:46] ---**
You both are so strange.
**[13:47] ---**
*Everybody* says that!
**[13:55] ---**
I'll see you tomorrow as well?
**[13:57] ---**
Of course, she transferred here.
**[14:00] ---**
See you tomorrow, then!
**[14:02] ---**
See ya.
**[14:05] ---**
It's the first time anybody's said
"see you tomorrow" to me.
**[14:10] ---**
Will they say "good morning"
to me tomorrow?
**[14:15] ---**
Good morning, Hana-*chan*!
**[14:18] ---**
We have P.E. today.
I can't wait to go to the pool--
**[14:22] ---**
Huh? U-Um, well...
**[14:24] ---**
What's going on?
**[14:25] ---**
Tohru, did you confess
your love to her or something?
**[14:27] ---**
--Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no.
**[14:29] ---**
--It happened because I was happy.
--Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no.
**[14:32] ---**
I kept thinking they shouldn't
involve themselves with me.
**[14:36] ---**
But before I realized it,
I was always with them.
**[14:39] ---**
It made me so happy.
**[14:48] ---**
Another grand, red sunset.
**[14:51] ---**
Yes!
**[14:54] ---**
It's a gentle color.
**[14:56] ---**
Yep.
**[14:59] ---**
Yes!
**[15:05] ---**
We'll have good weather tomorrow, too.
**[15:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:09] ---**
Yes!
**[15:11] ---**
I almost forgot my place in life.
**[15:16] ---**
I finally realized this after two seasons passed.
**[15:21] ---**
Hey, Hanajima-*san*.
**[15:25] ---**
They say you almost killed a boy
in your class back in elementary school.
**[15:31] ---**
Is that true?
**[15:32] ---**
With, what did they call it... evil waves?
**[15:38] ---**
Evil... Huh?
**[15:40] ---**
This is just what we heard,
**[15:42] ---**
but they said that you were
a delinquent who smoked
**[15:47] ---**
--and burned the arm of the girl
who tried to stop you.
**[15:48] ---**
--...almost...
--and burned the arm of the girl
who tried to stop you.
**[15:50] ---**
--...killed...
--and burned the arm of the girl
who tried to stop you.
**[15:51] ---**
--...killed...
--They say you transferred here because
of the problems that you caused.
**[15:54] ---**
...almost killed...
**[15:56] ---**
--Ouch!
--Huh? What's wrong?
**[15:59] ---**
--Ow...
--Oh, what happened?
**[16:02] ---**
I don't know, there was suddenly
a sharp pain in my head.
**[16:07] ---**
Hanajima-*san*...
**[16:10] ---**
Did you just...
**[16:12] ---**
Hana-*chan*!
**[16:14] ---**
Please wait, Hana-*chan*!
**[16:16] ---**
Scared...
**[16:18] ---**
I'm scared...
**[16:20] ---**
Did I just use my power again?
**[16:27] ---**
Hana-*chan*!
**[16:29] ---**
Don't!
**[16:31] ---**
You shouldn't come near me.
**[16:35] ---**
I'm sorry for keeping things from you.
**[16:39] ---**
So please... you shouldn't
hang out with me anymore.
**[16:47] ---**
My powers are real.
**[16:51] ---**
I almost killed someone.
**[16:54] ---**
So, please. Don't.
**[16:58] ---**
A sin that would never fade.
A stain that would never fade.
**[17:03] ---**
I don't want to hurt anyone else.
**[17:07] ---**
If my life is nothing but punishment...
**[17:12] ---**
...then that's...
**[17:16] ---**
But we're so close.
**[17:19] ---**
We're still so close to you.
**[17:24] ---**
I don't want to distance myself.
**[17:29] ---**
There may be many things
I still don't know about you...
**[17:36] ---**
...but please don't
distance yourself, Hana-*chan*.
**[17:42] ---**
Hana-*chan*!
**[17:44] ---**
I love you.
**[17:47] ---**
I love you, Hana-*chan*!
**[17:52] ---**
But... I...
**[17:57] ---**
I might hurt you.
**[18:01] ---**
Maybe I don't deserve to...
**[18:05] ---**
*You* decide.
**[18:08] ---**
Don't go assuming things.
**[18:11] ---**
Do you want to distance yourself?
**[18:14] ---**
That's all I need to know.
**[18:19] ---**
...don't assume...
**[18:22] ---**
Back then, when I'd walk home,
**[18:27] ---**
the sky would make me
feel so lonely, I'd tremble.
**[18:32] ---**
It's strange.
**[18:34] ---**
Before I knew it, the sky took on a gentleness.
**[18:38] ---**
There was more than
one shadow on the ground.
**[18:42] ---**
That was all.
**[18:45] ---**
That was all it was, and yet...
**[18:50] ---**
I want to be with you...
**[18:55] ---**
Together...
**[19:00] ---**
I want to be with you...
**[19:07] ---**
I will pray, then.
**[19:09] ---**
It's not possible that there isn't one person...
**[19:14] ---**
...that will cherish you.
**[19:19] ---**
I'll pray.
**[19:22] ---**
So, please...
**[19:26] ---**
...don't give up yet.
**[19:32] ---**
--Oh.
--What is it?
**[19:35] ---**
I didn't hear anything.
**[19:37] ---**
I was able to block the voices just now.
**[19:41] ---**
Really! Oh, Saki-*chan*!
**[19:43] ---**
That's wonderful!
**[19:44] ---**
What? How'd you do it?
**[19:46] ---**
It was like a *flash* and a *whoosh*.
**[19:49] ---**
Did you get her explanation?
**[19:52] ---**
Basically, she learned the trick to it.
**[19:55] ---**
It would still be a while before
I learned to control my power.
**[20:00] ---**
Was I able to do it because
all my needs had been met?
**[20:04] ---**
Still, I never used my powers
for the fun of it.
**[20:09] ---**
--It's *her*!
**[20:11] ---**
--Just to chastise people a bit.
--It's *her*!
**[20:13] ---**
You call that a *bit*?!
**[20:17] ---**
Saki, how much longer
will you wear black clothes?
**[20:21] ---**
Well, I've been wearing black for so long,
**[20:26] ---**
I don't feel calm unless I do.
**[20:29] ---**
You don't have to keep
wearing black to accompany me.
**[20:36] ---**
This color makes me feel calm, too.
**[20:40] ---**
And also, if we started
wearing yellows and pinks,
**[20:45] ---**
the neighborhood would be in an uproar.
**[20:47] ---**
--You're right. An uproar does
sound interesting, though.
**[20:48] ---**
--She's pretty, but her clothes are all black!
--You're right. An uproar does
sound interesting, though.
**[20:50] ---**
--Her clothes are so black!
--You're right. An uproar does
sound interesting, though.
**[20:54] ---**
I'm grateful...
**[20:58] ---**
...to Dad, Mom, and you.
**[21:01] ---**
Hana-*chan*! Megumi-*san*!
**[21:03] ---**
Let's get going.
**[21:06] ---**
We're gonna leave you behind!
**[21:09] ---**
Sometimes my heart hurts...
**[21:13] ---**
...when I think about how I felt the need for
more, even with a family that loved me so much.
**[21:20] ---**
People can't live without others.
**[21:26] ---**
I bet...
**[21:28] ---**
I bet that no matter
how oppressed you are by others,
**[21:31] ---**
how hopeless you are,
**[21:33] ---**
or how loved you are by your family,
**[21:36] ---**
you want to be accepted by others.
**[21:40] ---**
That's my theory.
**[21:42] ---**
And also, for parents,
**[21:46] ---**
as long as their children seem happy,
**[21:48] ---**
that's more than enough.
**[21:52] ---**
That's why, even if someday
**[21:56] ---**
you three go your own separate ways,
**[21:59] ---**
it doesn't mean anyone's being fickle,
and you don't need to feel lonely.
