**[00:00] ---**
Even if the world doesn't need me,
I'll keep living for someone who does.
**[00:08] ---**
It works for me.
**[00:10] ---**
But my custody rights might've
been at risk for a while there!
**[00:14] ---**
"Custody"?
**[00:16] ---**
There was more craziness
after that, like moving,
**[00:19] ---**
but I think I bounced back
while I kept busy.
**[00:22] ---**
Tohru was there for me, after all!
**[00:26] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[00:27] ---**
Seriously, Tohru is so cute! Like,
cutest in the world--no, the universe!
**[00:32] ---**
But Katsuya Honda...
**[00:35] ---**
You don't want to go see him anymore?
**[00:40] ---**
I wonder how much time
and effort it'll take
**[00:45] ---**
for you kids to find your answers...
**[00:51] ---**
Those words sounded ridiculous to me.
**[00:55] ---**
Because I'd always felt like I was
only born to take other people's contempt,
**[01:02] ---**
and I only continued
living to hurt people.
**[01:06] ---**
And wasn't I right?
**[01:08] ---**
That's why she died...
**[01:10] ---**
That's why Mom died, isn't it?
**[01:13] ---**
Didn't she want to tell me
it was my fault, in the end?
**[01:18] ---**
And you, too. You smiled at me,
but don't you hate me now...?
**[01:27] ---**
It's not your fault, Kyo.
**[01:31] ---**
You did nothing wrong.
**[01:34] ---**
But you can't go outside.
Outside is full of bad things.
**[01:40] ---**
Come in the house with Mom, okay?
**[01:45] ---**
Let's live inside forever.
**[01:51] ---**
Do what your mother tells you.
**[01:55] ---**
I'll never forgive you.
**[01:57] ---**
I'll go in the house and wait for you.
**[02:01] ---**
You'd better get your butt inside.
**[02:04] ---**
Or else something
even scarier will happen.
**[02:20] ---**
Ta-da! This is... Tohru!
**[02:25] ---**
Thank you!
**[02:26] ---**
Are those shapes going to grill okay?
**[02:29] ---**
Not to worry! You can leave it to me!
**[02:31] ---**
Kyo! The food's almost ready!
**[02:34] ---**
Kyo?
**[02:37] ---**
Could he be asleep?
**[02:39] ---**
He'll show up eventually.
**[02:44] ---**
They showed up in my dream
to smack down that thought.
**[02:50] ---**
To remind me...
**[02:53] ---**
"Know your place. Don't fool yourself."
**[02:57] ---**
Because I thought maybe...
**[03:00] ---**
...just maybe...
**[03:02] ---**
...Tohru loved me back.
**[03:05] ---**
Stupid thought.
**[04:36] ---**
"Fruits Basket"
**[04:40] ---**
Did you slip away from your servant again
so that you can walk as you please?
**[04:46] ---**
Sometimes I need to go outside
and look for someone to talk to.
**[04:51] ---**
Right, Shigure?
**[04:53] ---**
That reminds me...
**[04:54] ---**
I hear you recruited Isuzu as
an errand girl to fetch a box for you.
**[05:00] ---**
You certainly have an ear to the ground.
**[05:03] ---**
Or perhaps she's just talkative?
Truly no good.
**[05:08] ---**
You're the no-good one, Ren-*san*.
**[05:11] ---**
I told you that was our secret.
**[05:16] ---**
Did you really?
**[05:17] ---**
To me, it sounded like
a suggestion to go get it from her.
**[05:23] ---**
Well, I'm offended.
**[05:25] ---**
But I'm afraid the operation failed.
**[05:28] ---**
This would be much easier
if you just brought it to me.
**[05:32] ---**
What? No, I don't want to do *that*.
It feels blasphemous somehow.
**[05:38] ---**
It is blasphemous.
**[05:41] ---**
No one but me has the right
to touch Akira-*san*.
**[05:46] ---**
His flesh, his blood, his soul...
**[05:49] ---**
I'm the only one worthy to own
anything to do with Akira-*san*.
**[05:56] ---**
I hear another marriage talk fell apart.
**[05:58] ---**
Can't they compromise? The doctor says
he's not long for this world anyway.
**[06:04] ---**
That's exactly why! I mean,
there has to be a successor.
**[06:07] ---**
True, no one wants "outsiders"
to fall heir to that money.
**[06:13] ---**
Akira-*san* and I met
because we were meant to.
**[06:18] ---**
It was destiny.
**[06:21] ---**
You must be so lonely,
and afraid of dying alone.
**[06:27] ---**
And no one else notices.
**[06:31] ---**
But I'm different. I see it.
**[06:36] ---**
Give me all of your pain, every last bit.
**[06:43] ---**
Because I love you.
**[06:49] ---**
Obviously this cannot be allowed!
You're a *servant*!
**[06:53] ---**
--We're in love.
--Silence!
**[06:55] ---**
Get out of here this instant.
**[06:57] ---**
--Never set foot on the Soma estate ag--
--Ren noticed that I was lonely.
**[07:03] ---**
She cried for me.
**[07:08] ---**
It was bliss.
**[07:11] ---**
Akira-*san* and I were
the only ones in the world.
**[07:15] ---**
I was the only one in Akira-*san*'s world.
**[07:19] ---**
It was enough.
**[07:22] ---**
And yet...
**[07:25] ---**
Hey, they said Akito-*san*'s
gonna be raised as a boy.
**[07:30] ---**
But why?
**[07:32] ---**
Apparently, Ren-*san*
decided on it a while ago,
**[07:35] ---**
because she said a female heir
could cause issues.
**[07:38] ---**
I heard she threw a fit and said
**[07:40] ---**
she'd abort unless everyone
considered him a boy.
**[07:44] ---**
She's just miffed that she's not
Akira-*san*'s "number one" anymore.
**[07:49] ---**
And jealous, too.
**[07:52] ---**
Why won't you hold Akito, Ren?
**[07:56] ---**
Why bother? Everyone else
already loves that child, don't they?
**[08:01] ---**
Akito was born for them to love.
It's only natural.
**[08:07] ---**
Remember Ren-*san*'s face that day
we went to meet Akito?
**[08:15] ---**
She thought, "Oh, crap."
**[08:20] ---**
Gure-*nii*... I don't get it.
**[08:22] ---**
Everything Gure-*san* says
is too complicated.
**[08:25] ---**
Does it mean Ren-*san* is bad?
**[08:28] ---**
It means she should be pitied.
**[08:32] ---**
All of the Somas should...
**[08:37] ---**
You poor thing.
**[08:40] ---**
Aren't you a "poor thing," too?
**[08:44] ---**
You're at Akito's mercy,
thanks to that antiquated "bonds" curse.
**[08:50] ---**
You don't really love
that child, you know.
**[08:55] ---**
You're just caught up in a fantasy.
**[08:59] ---**
Haven't you noticed?
**[09:02] ---**
You're looking at me
the same way you did then.
**[09:07] ---**
You want me.
**[09:13] ---**
Yes, I've noticed. Looking at you
gives me a rush of affection.
**[09:20] ---**
It lets me fantasize about whether she'd
look like you if she lived as a girl.
**[09:28] ---**
You're quite right.
I wanted you to take that box.
**[09:33] ---**
You're the right one to have it.
**[09:36] ---**
One person possessed by
Akira-*san*'s ghost is enough.
**[09:41] ---**
--Shigure--
--Akito doesn't need that thing.
**[09:45] ---**
There's something wrong
with you--all of you!
**[09:48] ---**
Who do you suppose you have to thank
for that kid even being alive?!
**[09:53] ---**
Who do you think saved Akira-*san*?!
**[09:57] ---**
It's all because I was with him!
**[10:01] ---**
Akira-*san*...
**[10:07] ---**
Why...
**[10:09] ---**
Why didn't you call for me?
**[10:12] ---**
D-Did Akira-*san* die all alone?!
**[10:17] ---**
Quiet.
**[10:19] ---**
It was sudden.
There was no time to call for you.
**[10:24] ---**
And he was not alone at the end--
Akito-*san* was with him.
**[10:28] ---**
Akito-*san* safely carries
Akira-*san*'s final wishes.
**[10:34] ---**
Excuse me?
**[10:36] ---**
--You're nothing! You're just a toy
for Akira-*san* to pass the time with!
**[10:40] ---**
--How dare you!
--You're nothing! You're just a toy
for Akira-*san* to pass the time with!
**[10:41] ---**
--How dare you!
--Now that Akira-*san* is gone,
you're officially unnecessary!
**[10:44] ---**
--Now that Akira-*san* is gone,
you're officially unnecessary!
**[10:46] ---**
You're wrong.
**[10:48] ---**
I'm special.
**[10:51] ---**
I was promised eternity.
Everyone was waiting for me, too.
**[10:56] ---**
So I'm not unnecessary.
**[11:00] ---**
I know, because Father told me.
**[11:03] ---**
If you mock Father's words...
**[11:06] ---**
...then you're the unnecessary one.
**[11:11] ---**
Go ahead, believe that silly fantasy
of "bonds" and "eternity."
**[11:17] ---**
It's too stupid to last long anyway.
**[11:21] ---**
Eventually it'll fall apart,
and you can learn the hard way
**[11:25] ---**
that no one really wanted you!
**[11:31] ---**
Akira-*san*! Akira-*san*!
**[11:39] ---**
Akito? You're awake.
**[11:42] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[11:45] ---**
I need to talk to you, Akito.
**[11:47] ---**
I was so happy when I met Yuki.
**[11:51] ---**
What?
**[11:53] ---**
I was the God, and he was the Rat
who stands at the top of the zodiac,
**[11:57] ---**
and those two roles
hadn't been reborn in so long.
**[12:04] ---**
Back then, I could still
show off in front of *her*.
**[12:09] ---**
Even when she said things
that hurt me, I could still...
**[12:17] ---**
Where did my world start to fall apart?
**[12:23] ---**
Yuki-*kun* left the estate
to go live with Shigure, I hear.
**[12:29] ---**
So, I take it that the Rat was
the second one to desert you?
**[12:34] ---**
Don't let your one-night stand
with Shigure go to your head.
**[12:38] ---**
I haven't been deserted.
**[12:41] ---**
Everyone comes back to me in the end.
**[12:46] ---**
Because we can't be separated.
That's the bond between us.
**[12:51] ---**
I'm sick of that line.
**[12:53] ---**
If you truly believe the zodiac
who get a taste of the outside world
**[12:57] ---**
will still come back to the gloomy "god"
who binds them hand and foot, then win.
**[13:03] ---**
Prove that nobody can break your
little dream and rub it in my face!
**[13:11] ---**
And if you lose...
**[13:15] ---**
Grovel to me and then get out.
**[13:19] ---**
I believed.
**[13:21] ---**
Akito-*san*, I'd like to let Kyo and...
one other person live at my house.
**[13:30] ---**
Would that be okay?
**[13:33] ---**
I believed I could win.
**[13:37] ---**
I believed no one could break this...
**[13:42] ---**
No. I *wished*--almost prayed.
**[13:47] ---**
I repeated it like a curse.
Like I'd die if I didn't say it.
**[13:51] ---**
I said basically the same words
over and over and over...
**[13:59] ---**
But it's no good anymore. They're leaving.
**[14:04] ---**
Leaving me behind.
**[14:07] ---**
Stop at once!
**[14:08] ---**
Someone stop her!
**[14:14] ---**
You know, when I woke up
this morning, my head was so clear.
**[14:21] ---**
I should've just done this to begin with.
**[14:26] ---**
Give back Akira-*san*!
**[14:28] ---**
I don't know what of Akira-*san*'s you're
hiding here, but give it back! It's mine!
**[14:36] ---**
Everything of Akira-*san*'s belongs to me!
**[14:41] ---**
I didn't want to lose to this woman.
**[14:44] ---**
I wanted to prove it however
I could and rub it in her face.
**[14:49] ---**
Because I...
**[14:53] ---**
If it you want it that badly,
I'll give you the stupid thing!
**[15:00] ---**
I always knew...
**[15:06] ---**
Don't worry, Akito.
**[15:11] ---**
I'm not leaving you behind.
**[15:17] ---**
Even if you can't see me,
I'll be by your side.
**[15:23] ---**
Special child...
**[15:27] ---**
Ren was the one I most wanted
to be happy about you...
**[15:33] ---**
As her man, all I could do was die...
**[15:40] ---**
...but at least I can leave her a child.
**[15:44] ---**
And our child being special
**[15:49] ---**
proves that Ren and I were special, right?
**[15:56] ---**
It's too bad we couldn't
reconcile... Ren...
**[16:04] ---**
You were magnificent, showing such
a dauntless attitude to that woman...
**[16:11] ---**
But... But the one Father loved
most wasn't me, it was--
**[16:17] ---**
No.
**[16:18] ---**
Akira-*san* loved you best, Akito-*san*.
**[16:23] ---**
You mustn't let yourself be fooled.
**[16:26] ---**
Didn't Akira-*san* say he'd be by your side?
**[16:31] ---**
You have this, and Akira-*san*
belongs to you alone.
**[16:37] ---**
Is there something inside?
**[16:40] ---**
Akira-*san*'s...
**[16:42] ---**
...soul.
**[16:47] ---**
It's empty.
**[16:50] ---**
That's right, it's empty.
**[16:53] ---**
Always has been.
**[16:56] ---**
Because I'm the one
who's always been "Other."
**[17:01] ---**
Because this has been broken
from the beginning.
**[17:17] ---**
Hiro-*chan*! Hinata-*chan*!
**[17:20] ---**
Lunch is ready to--
**[17:27] ---**
--Hi--
--Sorry.
**[17:29] ---**
I'm in a complicated mood...
**[17:33] ---**
I wish I could just feel happy.
**[17:37] ---**
But I have all these mixed feelings
**[17:41] ---**
like anger, resentment, regret,
repentance, attachment...
**[17:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:49] ---**
You've lived your whole life
with those bonds, after all.
**[17:57] ---**
Goodbyes make us lonely.
**[18:02] ---**
It's no good anymore. They're really...
**[18:08] ---**
...falling apart.
**[18:12] ---**
Goodbyes keep coming.
**[18:16] ---**
--What's wrong?
Weren't you going to kill me?
**[18:18] ---**
--Ma'am!
--What's wrong?
Weren't you going to kill me?
**[18:19] ---**
--What's wrong?
Weren't you going to kill me?
**[18:21] ---**
Just shut up!
**[18:22] ---**
Why did you even bring a weapon in here?!
**[18:24] ---**
You're one to talk!
Your charge tried to kill his own parent!
**[18:28] ---**
And you gave him that silly box!
**[18:30] ---**
--The poor family head is so innocent
he believed in it, and now--
**[18:33] ---**
--Of course he doesn't believe in it!
--The poor family head is so innocent
he believed in it, and now--
**[18:36] ---**
I gave him that box to comfort him
**[18:38] ---**
when his heart was wasting away
after Akira-*san*'s death!
**[18:42] ---**
It's like a charm.
**[18:44] ---**
Anyone with common sense
would know it was empty!
**[18:47] ---**
I told you, you mustn't give
such things to the family head!
**[18:56] ---**
Akito.
**[18:57] ---**
I was fifty-fifty.
**[18:59] ---**
I believed in that box,
and I didn't believe in it.
**[19:05] ---**
It was empty when I opened it.
**[19:08] ---**
But I thought, maybe there was
an invisible power.
**[19:13] ---**
Maybe... maybe...
**[19:17] ---**
So I couldn't get rid of it,
**[19:20] ---**
but I didn't want to look
into it anymore, so I hid it.
**[19:25] ---**
That's right.
I clung to it all these years.
**[19:32] ---**
Can you blame me?
That was my common sense!
**[19:36] ---**
Nobody taught me otherwise!
**[19:39] ---**
Nobody ever gave me
any other way to live than this one!
**[19:44] ---**
How am I supposed to know things
I don't know?!
**[19:47] ---**
How am I supposed to get it?!
**[19:49] ---**
Why--
**[19:52] ---**
You can start learning the things
you don't know or don't get now.
**[19:58] ---**
Let's change, Akito.
**[20:03] ---**
If you stay in this environment,
the Somas and the bonds will crush you.
**[20:09] ---**
You'll stay empty.
**[20:11] ---**
--So--
--Too late.
**[20:13] ---**
It's too late for you to say that.
**[20:17] ---**
"Change"? We're past that point.
**[20:20] ---**
Why didn't you say that in the beginning?
**[20:25] ---**
Why didn't you push me away
from the beginning?
**[20:30] ---**
Why didn't you abandon me?
**[20:33] ---**
--I know.
--You're changing your mind *now*?
**[20:36] ---**
I know.
**[20:38] ---**
I don't want that lecture now.
**[20:45] ---**
That "kindness" of yours that
only half-saves me or half-rejects me...
**[20:54] ---**
It's been killing me!
**[20:58] ---**
This whole time!
So take responsibility. Pay for it!
**[21:03] ---**
Atone with your death!
**[21:05] ---**
Wait--
**[21:08] ---**
Kureno-*san*!
**[21:09] ---**
What happened? You're bleeding!
**[21:11] ---**
--Never mind.
--What?!
**[21:13] ---**
Forget me, go after Akito. Fast!
**[21:18] ---**
Someone help!
**[21:19] ---**
It's too late now.
Now... after all this time...
**[21:28] ---**
Yeah, it's dead.
**[21:30] ---**
Ugh. I wonder if a cat
killed it or something?
**[21:34] ---**
Or it hit a windowpane.
**[21:37] ---**
You two finish cleaning yet?
**[21:39] ---**
Forget that, there's a dead bird out here!
**[21:44] ---**
Were you just tired?
**[21:47] ---**
Thank you.
**[21:50] ---**
You're welcome!
**[21:51] ---**
I'm going out for a bit.
**[21:59] ---**
Kyo-*kun*!
**[22:03] ---**
Please, there's...
something I'd like to tell you.
**[23:45] ---**
"I'm Disappointed in You"
**[23:46] ---**
I'm disappointed in you.
**[23:51] ---**
**[23:53] ---**
