**[00:02] ---**
Hey! She left again!
**[00:04] ---**
Yep, she said she was
going to visit a friend.
**[00:07] ---**
Are you incapable of listening
when people talk?
**[00:11] ---**
It's her fault for going out!
She never does that!
**[00:14] ---**
Well, this just goes to show how much
a part of this household she's become.
**[00:20] ---**
She's got Kyo thinking,
"Where has our belle gone?"
**[00:24] ---**
"Soma"
**[00:25] ---**
Wh-What a big place.
**[00:28] ---**
I came here without telling
Soma-kun and the others,
**[00:32] ---**
just as Hatori-san instructed, but...
**[00:34] ---**
Hallo!
**[00:35] ---**
Tohru!
**[00:37] ---**
You came right on time.
**[00:46] ---**
Welcome to the Soma estate!
**[00:48] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[00:51] ---**
Harry's house is this way!
**[00:56] ---**
It's very quiet.
**[00:59] ---**
Almost like no one lives here...
**[01:02] ---**
This atmosphere is making me
even more n-nervous!
**[01:09] ---**
Welcome.
**[01:11] ---**
"Nervous Exhaustion"
**[01:13] ---**
Was the walk here that exhausting?
**[01:15] ---**
No, no.
**[01:17] ---**
Well, come in.
**[01:19] ---**
Momiji, bring us something to drink.
**[01:21] ---**
Ja!
**[01:22] ---**
Thank you for inviting me.
**[01:26] ---**
I'd almost forgotten what it was like
to always have you with me
**[01:40] ---**
You were always by my side
**[01:48] ---**
Giving my life meaning
**[01:54] ---**
Goodbye until we meet again
**[02:01] ---**
I'll say thank you with a smile
**[02:09] ---**
Oh please, keep being
the person closest to me
**[02:16] ---**
My heart only needed you to be strong
**[02:23] ---**
I know that my path to tomorrow
**[02:31] ---**
Is right here with you again
**[03:04] ---**
It's kind of surprising to see
a woman's photograph on his desk.
**[03:09] ---**
He comes off as a very stern person,
and his words always seem angry somehow...
**[03:16] ---**
Could he have called me here to s-scold me
for one of my many shortcomings?!
**[03:21] ---**
Tohru?
**[03:23] ---**
Are you sick? Should Harry
give you a checkup?
**[03:26] ---**
N-N-No, I'm absolutely fine!
**[03:29] ---**
Well, go ahead and have a seat!
**[03:36] ---**
Um, Hatori-san, did you have to
take off work at your clinic for me?
**[03:42] ---**
No. I don't treat anyone outside
the Soma clan. I'm the family doctor.
**[03:47] ---**
About half of it consists
of babysitting Akito.
**[03:50] ---**
Constantly getting sick is Akito's specialty.
**[03:53] ---**
Plus, all of the Somas are super busy today,
so nobody will come for an exam.
**[03:59] ---**
Huh?
**[04:00] ---**
They're getting ready for New Year's!
**[04:01] ---**
It's a big event, so outside people help, too,
not just inside ones.
**[04:08] ---**
Outside? Inside?
**[04:10] ---**
Yep! See, we call the main family "inside."
**[04:14] ---**
Remember the tree-lined road
you walked down to get here?
**[04:18] ---**
We call the people who live there "outside."
**[04:22] ---**
I think there are about einhundert...
a hundred of them.
**[04:25] ---**
And about 50 on the inside.
**[04:28] ---**
All 150 of us are Somas!
**[04:29] ---**
Th-That's amazing.
**[04:32] ---**
The only people who can live "inside"
are zodiac members like us
**[04:36] ---**
or people who know our secret.
**[04:38] ---**
Shii-chan and Yuki used to live inside, too.
**[04:41] ---**
Kyo was outside, though.
**[04:44] ---**
To put that another way:
even among the family,
**[04:47] ---**
only a small number of people
know the zodiac secret.
**[04:51] ---**
It's outrageous for a complete
stranger like you to know it.
**[04:56] ---**
Ordinarily, I would wipe
your memory right away,
**[05:00] ---**
but Akito didn't order me to,
and even permitted you to live among us.
**[05:05] ---**
Do you have a fun life at Shigure's house?
**[05:09] ---**
Yes, very much.
**[05:11] ---**
I recommend that you move out.
**[05:14] ---**
Stay away from the Somas from now on.
**[05:18] ---**
Our possessed family isn't
fun and games like you think it is.
**[05:24] ---**
We're monstrous. Loathsome.
**[05:27] ---**
Cursed.
**[05:30] ---**
Leave before you regret ever
associating with the Somas.
**[05:34] ---**
Akito is trying to use you.
**[05:40] ---**
Wait here a moment.
**[05:46] ---**
What did he mean by "cursed"...?
**[05:50] ---**
Tohru...
**[05:52] ---**
Harry's almost blind in his left eye.
**[05:56] ---**
He used to have a girlfriend.
Her name was Kana.
**[06:00] ---**
She was really nice.
**[06:03] ---**
They even got engaged.
**[06:06] ---**
But Akito got angry.
**[06:11] ---**
Super angry. Akito said they weren't allowed
to get married, and then got violent...
**[06:15] ---**
...and injured Harry's eye.
**[06:18] ---**
But you know what? Harry never blamed Akito.
**[06:22] ---**
Kana blamed herself instead.
**[06:25] ---**
She said it was her fault that he got hurt.
**[06:28] ---**
She blamed herself so much
it turned into a mental illness.
**[06:34] ---**
So...
**[06:36] ---**
...Harry ended up erasing Kana's memories.
**[06:40] ---**
He couldn't stand to watch
Kana fall apart anymore.
**[06:44] ---**
So he erased her memories
of when they were in love.
**[06:51] ---**
Kana left.
**[06:53] ---**
Harry was crying.
**[06:55] ---**
But, even then, he didn't blame Akito.
**[07:00] ---**
Why not?
**[07:02] ---**
Because that's the curse.
**[07:05] ---**
Harry doesn't want there
to be any more people like Kana.
**[07:10] ---**
He doesn't want you to
get hurt like Kana did.
**[07:18] ---**
Wait, are you crying?
**[07:21] ---**
Did I make you cry?!
**[07:24] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
**[07:26] ---**
It's not that.
**[07:28] ---**
It's just that Hatori-san is so kind...
**[07:33] ---**
I'm glad I met all of you.
**[07:38] ---**
Even if I have the life I do now
because I'm being used for something,
**[07:44] ---**
I want to say "thank you" for it.
**[07:49] ---**
The only thing I know I'll never do
is regret meeting Soma-kun and the others.
**[07:54] ---**
I'm who I am now thanks to them.
**[07:58] ---**
And me?
**[08:01] ---**
Are you glad you met me?
**[08:06] ---**
Of course.
**[08:10] ---**
Don't worry. I promise
we're not using Tohru-kun.
**[08:14] ---**
--Shigure-san!
--Shii-chan!
**[08:16] ---**
Haa-san here just phrases things
way too dramatically.
**[08:19] ---**
What brought you here?
**[08:21] ---**
My gut! It told me to come, Tohru-kun!
**[08:23] ---**
We authors need to have a keen sixth sense.
**[08:27] ---**
Stop lying. You only came to check
on the New Year's prep.
**[08:31] ---**
The common folk are so quick
to envy geniuses. Tragic, really.
**[08:34] ---**
--Stop drifting aimlessly and grow up.
**[08:35] ---**
--They don't act it, but they're BFFs.
--Stop drifting aimlessly and grow up.
**[08:38] ---**
Haa-san, you'll go bald one day
if you keep being such a worrywart.
**[08:42] ---**
I keep telling you Akito-san
means no harm to Tohru-kun,
**[08:45] ---**
but you never believe me,
and now you've scared her.
**[08:50] ---**
What if she actually moves out?
**[08:53] ---**
I'm okay, really. Thank you
so much for worrying about me.
**[08:58] ---**
But I plan to keep living with--
**[09:01] ---**
That reminds me. I should give
this to you before I forget.
**[09:06] ---**
It's the camera from the culture festival.
**[09:08] ---**
Why?
**[09:09] ---**
That was our deal.
**[09:13] ---**
I told you that if you came here,
I'd give you that camera.
**[09:17] ---**
I trust you know what will happen
if you don't show up.
**[09:21] ---**
Th-That's not what you said!
**[09:23] ---**
--What's in the camera?
--Hatori-san is just as much of an
"I do it my way" person as Shigure-san.
**[09:26] ---**
--Be quiet, you hack novelist.
--Hatori-san is just as much of an
"I do it my way" person as Shigure-san.
**[09:28] ---**
Come to think of it, I haven't
introduced you to Akito-san yet.
**[09:31] ---**
It's all right, I don't mind.
So, Hatori-san, you're one of the zodiac?
**[09:38] ---**
What year are you?
**[09:41] ---**
Great question! It's hilarious, really--
**[09:44] ---**
I'll call up some publishers
**[09:45] ---**
and tell them every embarrassing thing
you've done since you were four.
**[09:48] ---**
Sorry, can't tell you.
**[09:50] ---**
I'm... sorry for today.
**[09:55] ---**
Apparently, I do nothing but make people cry.
**[10:02] ---**
Okay, Tohru-kun, I'm going to go
take a peek at the New Year's setup.
**[10:07] ---**
And I have to go to the dance rehearsal!
**[10:09] ---**
Dance?
**[10:10] ---**
It's like an annual ritual for us.
**[10:14] ---**
Hatori, you're not allowed
to do anything pervy to Tohru-kun.
**[10:18] ---**
--Time to go.
--R-Right!
**[10:22] ---**
Bis bald!
**[10:23] ---**
I'll see you later!
**[10:37] ---**
Er, Hatori-san, are you
and Shigure-san "BFFs"?
**[10:42] ---**
"BFFs"...
**[10:43] ---**
Huh?! Um, I mean, Momiji-san told me that!
**[10:47] ---**
I'm stuck with him, that's all.
**[10:53] ---**
Maybe he doesn't like that word?
**[10:56] ---**
Oi, watch your feet.
**[10:58] ---**
Oh, no--
**[11:03] ---**
A... A-Are you all right, Hato-- Eep!
**[11:11] ---**
H-Hatori-san?! Water!
Wait, does he need salt water or fresh water?!
**[11:15] ---**
Which one, Hatori-san?!
**[11:19] ---**
This brings back memories.
Honda Tohru's reaction is the same as hers.
**[11:26] ---**
It's nice to meet you.
**[11:28] ---**
My name is Kana Soma.
**[11:30] ---**
I plan to work hard as your new assistant.
**[11:33] ---**
Right.
**[11:34] ---**
It's strange that we've never
spoken to each other before
**[11:36] ---**
despite being part of
the same clan, isn't it?
**[11:40] ---**
You're quite popular on the outside, by the way.
Everyone says "Hatori-san is cool."
**[11:43] ---**
Let's start work--
**[11:45] ---**
It's snowing!
**[11:48] ---**
I figured we'd get snow.
**[11:50] ---**
Say, can I ask you a question?
**[11:53] ---**
What comes of snow when it melts?
**[11:57] ---**
Water, obviously.
**[11:58] ---**
Bzzzt!
**[12:03] ---**
Spring comes.
**[12:05] ---**
Spring is my favorite season.
**[12:10] ---**
She was my spring.
**[12:14] ---**
I was snow. I'd frozen somewhere
along the line in my dark cage...
**[12:20] ---**
...and she was a fresh, bright spring.
**[12:34] ---**
I fell in love like it
was a logical necessity.
**[12:49] ---**
And then she found out.
**[12:52] ---**
Hatori?!
**[12:53] ---**
Water! Wait, does he need
salt water or fresh water?!
**[12:56] ---**
Which one, Hatori?!
**[13:04] ---**
Just so you know,
**[13:06] ---**
putting a real seahorse or seadragon
in the bath would kill it.
**[13:11] ---**
Oops.
**[13:12] ---**
But now I finally know. I'd wondered
why you won't hold me in your arms.
**[13:20] ---**
But this makes sense. It's scary, huh?
**[13:23] ---**
Of course you wouldn't want people to know.
**[13:26] ---**
Of course you'd keep people at a distance.
**[13:31] ---**
Especially someone you loved.
**[13:34] ---**
But don't be scared.
**[13:37] ---**
Don't reject me.
**[13:40] ---**
I'm glad I met you, Hatori.
**[13:45] ---**
Falling in love with you
brought me happiness.
**[13:50] ---**
I want to be with you.
**[13:54] ---**
I wept.
**[13:56] ---**
For the first time in my life,
I felt somehow forgiven--somehow saved.
**[14:03] ---**
Like a river of snow melted
by the breath of spring,
**[14:07] ---**
the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
**[14:11] ---**
Then, for just under two months,
life was like a good dream.
**[14:15] ---**
She smiled and said it was like
I'd condensed decades' worth of happiness.
**[14:24] ---**
The dream came to its end the day
we begged Akito to let us marry.
**[14:32] ---**
--You think I'll give him
to someone like you?!
**[14:33] ---**
--Akito! Wait, calm down!
--You think I'll give him to someone like you?!
**[14:35] ---**
--Akito!
--We don't need you! You can't even lift the curse!
**[14:37] ---**
--Akito, calm down!
--We don't need you! You can't even lift the curse!
**[14:38] ---**
You're not wanted!
**[14:42] ---**
--Hatori!
--It's your fault.
**[14:44] ---**
It's your fault if Hatori goes blind!
**[14:47] ---**
--Kana-chan, get Hatori out of here!
--It's your fault!
**[14:49] ---**
It's your fault! It's your fault!
**[14:52] ---**
It's your fault!
**[14:57] ---**
She fell ill.
**[15:00] ---**
No matter what I said or did,
she crumbled into tears.
**[15:06] ---**
The curse...
**[15:08] ---**
She grew more and more ill.
**[15:11] ---**
Her heart and mind suffered.
**[15:17] ---**
Isn't this exactly what your
suppression technique is for?
**[15:21] ---**
You ought to erase her memories.
**[15:24] ---**
You've never hesitated to with anyone else.
**[15:29] ---**
What's making her suffer right
now are her memories with you...
**[15:33] ---**
Her love for you.
**[15:36] ---**
Isn't it your final duty
to save her from her suffering?
**[15:43] ---**
What she really wants
deep down is to be freed.
**[15:48] ---**
She wants
**[15:50] ---**
to forget.
**[15:54] ---**
If only
**[15:57] ---**
we'd never met.
**[16:01] ---**
Are these my just deserts?
**[16:05] ---**
Is this my punishment for
just following orders
**[16:07] ---**
and stripping away people's memories,
even if hurt someone or made them cry?
**[16:14] ---**
I never imagined I'd have
to erase with my own hands
**[16:18] ---**
the memories most precious to
me from the mind most precious to me.
**[16:26] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[16:29] ---**
...that I... couldn't protect you...
**[16:35] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[16:38] ---**
I'm sorry, Hatori.
**[16:51] ---**
I'm the one who owes you an apology.
**[16:54] ---**
And I'm the one who failed to protect you.
**[17:00] ---**
Thank you, Kana.
**[17:03] ---**
It's all right now.
**[17:08] ---**
You don't have to suffer anymore.
**[17:13] ---**
I'm glad I met you, Hatori.
**[17:19] ---**
God, please let her meet someone else
who really can make her happy.
**[17:28] ---**
I'm willing to pray.
**[17:31] ---**
I'm willing to be frozen
in snow from now until I die.
**[17:38] ---**
So please... please...
**[17:42] ---**
Hatori-san. Hatori-san!
**[17:45] ---**
Hatori-san! Are you all right?
**[17:50] ---**
I'm cold.
**[17:51] ---**
Th-That's because under
your coat, you're... um... naked.
**[17:56] ---**
So you saw?
**[17:57] ---**
N-No! I just--
**[17:59] ---**
You saw my zodiac form?
**[18:01] ---**
E-Er, yes.
**[18:02] ---**
"Psychological Complex"
**[18:03] ---**
Huh?
**[18:04] ---**
I-I don't think it's weird, though!
**[18:07] ---**
It's very cute, and there's
the surprise factor...
**[18:10] ---**
O-Oh, your shoes.
**[18:12] ---**
I'm sure they're by the stairs.
I'll get them right away!
**[18:20] ---**
You're finally getting married, eh?
**[18:23] ---**
Congratulations, Kana.
**[18:24] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:26] ---**
So, what's the lucky man like?
**[18:29] ---**
Hmm... My heart feels calm when I'm with him.
**[18:32] ---**
His face isn't quite as handsome
as Hatori-san's, though.
**[18:35] ---**
What a thing to say!
**[18:37] ---**
Come on, him not loving me back doesn't
change the fact that he was my dream man.
**[18:42] ---**
I wish I'd gotten to say hi to him today.
**[18:45] ---**
Hey, no cheating on your honey!
**[18:47] ---**
No chance of that!
**[18:48] ---**
--I'm madly in love right now.
--Two years after I last saw her,
**[18:52] ---**
she's grinning like she did back then.
**[18:56] ---**
So she found happiness, then.
**[19:00] ---**
Good. I'm glad.
**[19:04] ---**
Congratulations.
**[19:06] ---**
Congratulations for what?
**[19:09] ---**
Never mind.
**[19:10] ---**
Oh! It's snowing, Hatori-san!
**[19:14] ---**
No wonder we felt so cold today.
**[19:20] ---**
Yes.
**[19:22] ---**
Please make her happy.
**[19:25] ---**
I'm willing to be frozen in snow
from now until I die...
**[19:31] ---**
What comes of snow when it melts?
**[19:36] ---**
Hatori-san?
**[19:39] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[19:43] ---**
No.
**[19:45] ---**
What do you think
**[19:47] ---**
comes of snow when it melts?
**[19:51] ---**
Let's see...
**[19:55] ---**
Spring comes!
**[19:57] ---**
No matter how cold it is now,
spring will come again.
**[20:02] ---**
It never fails. It's mysterious, isn't it?
**[20:07] ---**
Yes.
**[20:10] ---**
It is.
**[20:14] ---**
Thank you for walking me to the gate.
**[20:17] ---**
Sorry I put you through some trouble.
**[20:19] ---**
What, are you still here?
**[20:22] ---**
Shigure-san!
**[20:23] ---**
Haa-san, have you been
sexually harassing Tohru-kun?
**[20:27] ---**
What? No, nothing like...
**[20:29] ---**
Goodbye.
**[20:31] ---**
Let's see each other again soon!
**[20:34] ---**
It was a pain for Hatori
to summon you here like that.
**[20:39] ---**
But he's not a bad guy, really.
**[20:41] ---**
I know. He was a very kind man.
**[20:44] ---**
Okay, let's go home. I'm hungry!
**[21:03] ---**
Hey, Tohru-kun, what's for dinner?
**[21:05] ---**
Shigure-san.
**[21:10] ---**
What's the "curse"?
**[21:14] ---**
Shouldn't I...
**[21:17] ---**
Shouldn't I do something to help?
**[21:23] ---**
You can help by being yourself.
**[21:26] ---**
I don't think I should tell you about it yet.
**[21:31] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:33] ---**
I feel like I understand
**[21:36] ---**
more about the Somas today...
**[21:38] ---**
...and also like I don't understand a thing.
**[21:41] ---**
It's a strange feeling.
**[21:45] ---**
I wonder if I'll officially
meet Akito someday.
