**[00:02] Saitou; narration**
*I am infinitely replaceable.*
**[00:07] Saitou; narration**
*That's what I thought in my old world.*
**[00:13] Saitou; narration**
*But...*
**[00:14] Saitou; background**
Yes. Probably.
**[00:14] Saitou; narration**
*there were people who needed me.*
**[00:15] Morlock; background**
That worked well!
**[00:18] Saitou; narration**
*That made me so happy!*
**[00:20] Saitou; narration**
*In this world...*
**[00:21] Saitou; background**
Like this!
**[00:22] Saitou; narration**
*everyone needs me.*
**[00:23] Saitou; background**
It's "prisoner of flames,
I release your binding chains"!
**[00:24] Morlock; background**
Oh, that's right!
**[00:25] Saitou**
I'm counting on you.
**[00:26] Saitou**
It's your favorite food, right?!
**[00:27] Saitou; narration**
*That's why...*
**[00:28] Saitou; narration**
*I'm always looking for things I can do.*
**[00:31] (Flashback) Saitou; background**
Morlock-san, keep going.
**[00:49] Saitou**
This place is...
**[00:53] Saitou**
Raelza?
**[01:00] Raelza**
I'm so glad. I thought
you might not wake up!
**[01:04] Saitou**
Was I...
**[01:06] Raelza**
As soon as we got back,
you collapsed into a slumber.
**[01:09] Raelza**
It's been more than one whole day.
**[01:10] Saitou**
I'm sorry. All I do
is cause trouble for you.
**[01:14] Raelza**
You'd been frozen by magic.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Raelza**
Saitou!
**[01:19] Raelza**
It's no wonder.
**[01:21] Saitou; internal**
*Did she stay with me the whole time?*
**[01:27] Saitou**
Right! What about Morlock-san?
**[01:36] Raelza**
Saitou, the geezer is...
**[01:39] Morlock**
Did you have a nice night?
**[01:42] proprietor**
Stop that. Don't say things like
that to the guests!
**[01:44] Raelza**
The geezer's magical energy
is inexhaustible.
**[01:47] Raelza**
He gave everything he had to the dog,
**[01:49] Raelza**
but the next morning
he'd completely recovered.
**[01:53] Raleza**
And since he's caused so much trouble
for the proprietor here,
**[01:57] Raelza**
he is now helping out around the inn.
**[01:59] proprietor**
I didn't ask him to do that.
**[02:03] Morlock**
Your room is this way.
**[02:05] elf**
What? Wait!
**[02:08] Lafanpan**
Hey, Grandpa!
**[02:10] Lafanpan**
Give me my seven gold coins back!
**[02:17] Saitou**
This is the first time I've climbed
to the top of the great labyrinth.
**[02:21] Raelza**
In preparation for when monsters
come out of the labyrinth,
**[02:24] Raleza**
the fortress is packed with soldiers.
**[02:27] Raleza**
The crater made by the geezer's magic...
**[02:30] Raelza**
It's visible from here, too.
**[02:32] Saitou**
I'm glad that Morlock-san
made a full recovery.
**[02:36] Raelza**
So, Saitou...
**[02:39] Raelza**
What did you want to talk about?
**[02:41] Saitou**
I...don't remember changing my clothes.
**[02:45] Raelza**
I didn't do that!
**[02:47] Raelza**
The old dwarf guy...
**[02:50] Raelza; internal**
* Half a maderaka.*
* Half a maderaka. Half a maderaka...*
**[02:52] Gibungle**
I'll switch with you.
**[02:54] Saitou**
That's a relief.
**[02:57] Raelza**
That's what you wanted to say?
**[02:58] Saitou**
No, it's... the dog.
**[03:01] Raelza**
The dog?
**[03:03] Saitou**
It looked like you were talking
to the dog at several points.
**[03:08] Saitou**
Is that because you once lived with a wolf?
**[03:12] Raelza**
The geezer told you about that?
**[03:14] Saitou**
Yes.
**[03:17] Raelza**
We survived three winters together.
**[03:19] Raelza**
The wolf looked a lot like that pup.
**[03:22] Raelza**
I wonder if it's disappeared
to somewhere, too.
**[03:28] Raelza**
Maybe it's because I lived with a wolf,
**[03:30] Raelza**
but I'm rougher and more crude
than other women.
**[03:35] Raelza**
Me, a useless, decrepit old magician,
and a miserly fairy...
**[03:41] Raelza**
This bizarre party is the only
place someone like me can belong.
**[03:48] Saitou**
I'm in that party too.
**[03:54] Saitou**
I need you too, Raelza.
**[04:02] Saitou**
More than anyone in this world.
**[04:05] Saitou**
More than anyone in the world I came from.
**[04:21] Raelza**
Saitou...
**[04:22] Gibungle**
Hey!
**[04:23] Gibungle**
Handyman!
**[04:26] Saitou**
Gibungle-san?
**[04:28] Gibungle**
I've been looking for you.
**[04:30] Gibungle**
My master lost the keys to the inn
and now he's in trouble!
**[04:33] Gibungle**
You're the only one
who can pick the locks, right?
**[04:36] Saitou**
Yes,
**[04:37] Saitou**
because there are countermeasures
against thieves set on them.
**[04:40] Gibungle**
He put on another guest's
underpants by mistake
**[04:42] Gibungle**
and locked the door still wearing them!
**[04:44] Gibungle**
Hurry!
**[04:45] Saitou**
R-Right!
**[05:14] Morlock**
Sorry.
**[05:15] Morlock**
It was me wearing your underpants after all!
**[05:19] Lafanpan**
Why did you bring Saitou back with you?
**[05:21] Lafanpan**
You are such a tactless dwarf!

***SIGN*** Morlock had a secret
**[05:33] Morlock; internal**
*So, my thingy?*
**[05:35] Morlock; internal**
* I regenerated it with magical energy*
* when I retrieved my power from the dog.*
**[05:40] Morlock; internal**
* But at the time, I couldn't*
* control my magical energy,*
**[05:42] Morlock; internal**
* causing me to temporarily rejuvenate,*
* and as a result...*
**[05:46] Morlock; internal**
*since I was still missing my thingy...*
**[05:50] Morlock; internal**
*it repeatedly regenerated and disappeared.*
**[05:52] Morlock; internal**
* I was without my thingy*
* when my youth returned...*
**[05:57] Morlock; internal**
*and for just a moment, a miracle occurred.*
**[06:00] Morlock; internal**
*Huh? Did I become a woman?*
**[06:05] Morlock; internal**
*Saitou...*
**[06:07] Morlock; internal**
* Now that I look closely,*
* he's got a cute face.*
**[06:11] Morlock; internal**
* If I'd been born a woman,*
* I might have fallen in love with Saitou.*
**[06:18] Saitou**
Morlock-san?
**[06:20] Saitou**
I bought some honey.
**[06:22] Saitou**
You said you wanted a taste, didn't you?
**[06:24] Morlock**
He's so kind. I love him.
**[06:27] Lafanpan**
Why?
***SIGN*** The Handyman's
Silversmithing
**[06:32] Saitou**
If you wrap the cord around your
thumb like this and pull, the lock—
**[06:38] Saitou**
the fastening will release
and the blade pops out.
**[06:41] Saitou**
It's still a little stiff.
**[06:44] Raelza**
It's fine. It works, doesn't it?
**[06:47] Saitou**
It's not good enough.
**[06:48] Saitou**
In the heat of the moment,
it needs to work smoothl—fluidly.
**[06:52] Raelza**
He's so serious.
**[06:59] Saitou**
Oh no!
**[07:02] Saitou**
No, it's all right.
**[07:07] Saitou**
It's done! Try it out!
**[07:11] Raelza**
Yes, this is good.
**[07:17] Raelza**
What's this?
**[07:19] Saitou**
A hairpin. It's made of silver.
**[07:22] Raelza**
What is it doing stuck here?
**[07:24] Saitou**
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
**[07:26] Saitou**
But, more importantly, does it work?
**[07:30] Raelza**
Oh, for...
**[07:37] Raelza**
Wh-What do you think?
**[07:42] Saitou**
It looks nice on you!
**[07:44] Lafanpan**
Well, well. Thanks for the treat!
***SIGN*** Advised him to
give Raelza something
that might look nice on her
***SIGN*** A Magical Beast,

**[07:58] Saitou**
It looks just like Morlock-san!

Scorching heat, gather now. Cage ablaze...
**[08:04] Manticore; background**
fill now with spirit and will.
**[08:04] Morlock; internal**
*This is bad.*
**[08:06] Morlock; internal**
* Being confronted with something*
* that looks just like me, her father,*
**[08:07] Manticore; background**
Prisoner of flames,
I release your binding—
**[08:08] Morlock; internal**
* Raelza won't be able to fight*
* at her full strength!*
**[08:16] Raelza**
This thing has an infuriating face!
**[08:17] Lafanpan**
Increase Attack Power!
**[08:19] Morlock**
They seem more motivated
than usual, don't they?
**[08:21] Morlock**
What do you think, Saitou?
**[08:23] Saitou**
This is perfect! I can test out my crossbow!
**[08:25] Morlock**
What do you mean, "This is perfect"?!
***SIGN*** Do Sunlight

Human-Sized
Dreams?
**[08:33] Saitou**
Raelza!
**[08:39] Saitou**
Oh, right.
**[08:41] Saitou**
She said she was taking Morlock-san
for an acupuncture treatment.
**[08:42] Morlock; background**
My back is a little...
**[08:44] Raelza; background**
You are such a troublesome old geezer!
**[08:48] Saitou**
What's this?
**[08:57] Lafanpan**
You made a bath for me?
**[08:59] Saitou**
I've been looking
for a metal container this size.
**[09:04] Lafanpan**
Then, I'll use it now!
**[09:09] Lafanpan**
What's wrong?
**[09:10] Saitou**
I-It's because you suddenly
took your clothes off!
**[09:13] Lafanpan**
That bothers you?
**[09:14] Lafanpan**
We're a fairy and a human, you know?
**[09:16] Lafanpan**
An elf would be different.
**[09:18] Saitou**
I-Is that really how things work?
**[09:21] Lafanpan**
So I step on this, right?
**[09:25] Lafanpan**
Oh, this is bliss!
**[09:28] Lafanpan**
I'm gonna wash my hair too!
**[09:30] Saitou**
I didn't account for that!
The bath will spill over!
**[09:33] Lafanpan**
All right! Go and bring me some wine!
**[09:36] Lafanpan**
Saitou, we're gonna have
fun all night tonight!
**[09:39] Saitou**
All right.
**[10:01] Saitou; Lafanpan**
What?
**[10:07] Saitou; Lafanpan**
What?!
**[10:13] Lafanpan**
Thief's gear.
**[10:15] Lafanpan**
Holy knight's armor.
**[10:17] Lafanpan**
Magician's cloak!
**[10:19] Lafanpan**
Being human-sized really is nice.
**[10:22] Lafanpan**
There's so much to choose from!
**[10:23] Saitou**
You're not going to buy anything?
**[10:25] Lafanpan**
Raelza's casual clothes
are good enough for me.
**[10:27] Lafanpan**
You know I don't spend money.
**[10:30] Saitou**
But your wings have even disappeared.
**[10:32] Lafanpan**
I'll go back to normal if we just
let things run their course, right?
**[10:34] Lafanpan**
And this isn't bad in its own way.
**[10:39] Saitou**
Lafa...
**[10:44] Lafanpan**
What? For me?
**[10:46] Saitou**
Yes. I thought it would suit you.
**[10:49] Lafanpan**
I can't accept that!
I can't compensate you for it.
**[10:52] Saitou**
This might have happened
because I used that weird vase.
**[10:56] Saitou**
You used a bunch of your precious
gold coins to protect all of us.
**[10:59] Saitou**
This is both an apology and a thank you!
**[11:02] Lafanpan**
Well, if that's what it is, then...
**[11:12] Lafanpan**
How is it?
**[11:15] Saitou**
It looks nice on you!
**[11:19] Lafanpan**
You should say that kind of thing to Raelza.
**[11:23] Saitou**
I do say those things to Raelza!
**[11:29] Lafanpan**
That's all right, then!
**[11:31] Saitou**
Look ahead of you!
**[11:34] adventurer**
That hurt.
**[11:36] Lafanpan**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[11:40] adventurer**
You scratched my brand new leather armor.
**[11:44] adventurer**
You gonna compensate me?
**[11:46] adventurer**
Or you could come and have
a good time with me instead.
**[11:50] Lafanpan**
Wha—
**[11:52] Saitou**
Stop that!
**[11:54] Saitou**
Why would there be a scratch on the front
if she bumped into you from behind?
**[11:58] adventurer**
Those clothes...
**[11:59] adventurer**
You're the one who found
the new tunnel in the great labyrinth.
**[12:02] adventurer**
Handyman Saitou, right?
**[12:05] adventurer**
I've heard of you.
**[12:06] adventurer**
They say your allies are strong,
but you're a complete weakling.
**[12:10] adventurer**
Stop trying to act like a big man
just because you're a little famous!
**[12:19] adventurer**
Ow, ow, ow! Let go!
**[12:21] adventurer**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[12:23] Lafanpan**
*Saitou...*
**[12:25] Lafanpan; internal**
*That's right. He's been getting stronger.*
**[12:29] adventurer**
Blast you.
**[12:31] adventurer**
Ow, ow...
**[12:34] Saitou**
Lafa, are you all right?
**[12:46] Lafanpan**
What was that? He was sort of amazing.
**[13:00] Saitou**
Lafa?
**[13:06] Saitou**
Lafa?
**[13:11] Lafanpan**
I'm back to normal.
**[13:13] Saitou**
Huh? What?!
**[13:22] Saitou**
I'm sorry!
**[13:23] Saitou**
But yesterday, you said it
didn't matter if a human saw you!
**[13:27] Raelza**
What are you doing, Saitou?
**[13:29] Saitou**
What took you so long, Raelza?
**[13:31] Raelza**
I told you.
**[13:32] Raelza**
The acupuncturist's house is far away.
**[13:35] Raelza**
But the geezer seems to be doing well now.
**[13:38] Raelza**
He's already drinking downstairs.
**[13:41] Raelza**
Did something happen here?
**[13:43] Saitou**
It's been crazy.
**[13:45] Lafanpan**
Raelza! Give me my seven gold coins back!
**[13:49] Raelza**
We settled the matter by increasing
your share, you greedy fairy.
**[13:53] Lafanpan**
Hmph!
**[13:54] Lafanpan**
If you don't take care of it,
I'll take the prince instead!
**[13:58] Raelza**
Wha—
**[13:59] Lafanpan; internal**
*Just kidding!*
**[14:00] Lafanpan; internal**
* It's a good thing I'm from*
* a different people, isn't it?*
**[14:05] Raelza**
That happened to Lafanpan?
**[14:07] Raelza**
Was it this that caused it?
**[14:09] Saitou**
I can't think of any other reason for it.
**[14:13] Saitou**
Where is Morlock-san?
**[14:14] Lafanpan**
Out having fun.
**[14:16] Raelza**
The geezer is like irresponsibility
dressed up and walking around.
**[14:19] Gibungle**
You seem to be troubled.
**[14:22] Saitou**
I've seen this exact same scene before.
**[14:25] Gibungle**
I, Gibungle, shall give you my aid!
**[14:28] Gibungle**
According to the Magipedia...
**[14:30] Gibungle**
That vase temporarily
makes entities like fairies
**[14:33] Gibungle**
and small monsters temporarily larger.
**[14:35] Gibungle**
The object is imbued with powerful
magical energy. That's what it says.
**[14:38] Lafanpan**
Wow!
**[14:39] Raelza**
The geezer does hoard
a lot of strange things.
**[14:42] Morlock**
Raelza!
**[14:44] Morlock**
I lost at cards, so they
took everything I had.
**[14:48] Raelza**
Hide that dirty thing, you geezer!
**[14:50] Lafanpan**
Grandpa, you're so dirty!
**[14:52] Gibungle**
Master...
**[14:53] Saitou**
Shall I bring some of my clothes for you?
**[14:56] Morlock**
Dirty? There's no need
to say that, is there?
**[14:59] Morlock**
Oh! That's perfect!
**[15:01] Morlock**
If I hide it with this,
you can't complain, right?
**[15:04] Morlock**
There.
**[15:10] Saitou**
Morlock-san's thing! It's...
**[15:12] Raelza**
Saitou, dodge!
**[15:15] Raelza**
What have you done, you old geezer?!
**[15:15] Morlock; background**
Grow big and strong!
***SIGN*** The Handyman

**[15:23] Saitou**
Money on hand is getting tight.
**[15:30] old woman**
Oh, what a mess.
**[15:32] old woman**
What should I do?
**[15:35] Saitou**
May I see that for a moment?
**[15:41] old woman**
Thank you. You're quite skilled.
**[15:43] Saitou**
Well, it wasn't much.
**[15:45] old woman**
Those clothes... Are you Handyman Saitou?
**[15:48] Saitou**
How did you know that?
**[15:50] old woman**
These days, you're famous.
**[15:52] old woman**
I've heard you're a remarkable
artisan who can do anything!
**[15:55] Saitou**
Oh, no. I'm not...
**[15:56] passerby A**
What? Did she say Handyman Saitou?
**[15:58] passersby; male 1**
Can you fix my bag?
**[16:00] passersby; male 2**
I've got a hole in my shoe.
**[16:02] passersby; male 3**
There's something off about
the way my windows are set.
**[16:04] passersby; female 1**
Can you really cook hydras?
**[16:06] Saitou**
W-Wait just a moment. One at a time...
**[16:13] Morlock**
You were working until this late at night?
**[16:17] Saitou**
Lots of people asked me to do odd jobs.
**[16:20] Saitou**
But thanks to that, I received
enough to pay for food.
**[16:25] Raelza**
You probably could have
let them give you more.
**[16:28] Saitou**
When it comes to leatherwork
and carpentry, I'm not a pro—an expert.
**[16:33] Saitou**
I just don't feel right accepting what
a real artisan would charge.
**[16:36] Lafanpan**
Still, you should make sure
that they compensate you for your labor.
**[16:40] Saitou**
That's true.
**[16:42] Saitou**
When I'm a little more
familiar with this world,
**[16:44] Saitou**
maybe I could be a handyman here too.
**[16:47] Morlock**
Sounds good!
**[16:48] Morlock**
You could have a little shop like Maevena's.
**[16:52] Raelza**
A-And if you do that, I'll help you!
**[16:54] Raelza**
I'm not good with numbers,
but I can arrange products and...
**[16:58] Flanril**
Saitou! We've been looking for you!
**[17:00] Raelza**
You two are...
**[17:01] Morlock**
It's the lovely elf and my dear Ninia!
**[17:04] Flanril**
My demi-gauntlet broke.
**[17:05] Flanril**
Will you fix it for me?
**[17:07] Ninia**
In truth, I'd like to repair it for her,
**[17:10] Ninia**
but I'm not good at that sort of thing.
**[17:13] Gibungle**
I am here as well!
**[17:14] Morlock**
Who is he again?
**[17:16] Liliza**
Hey there, Handyman Saitou!
**[17:17] Liliza**
Will you fix my clothes for me?
**[17:19] Liliza**
The dragon scales came off.
**[17:22] Raelza**
Magical Beast Hunter Liliza?
**[17:24] Saitou**
And Guivre-san.
**[17:26] Guivre**
I-It has been a while.
**[17:30] Monpui**
Master Saitou...
**[17:31] Monpui**
I'd like you to teach me how to make
that bread you ate before.
**[17:34] Cainz**
Monpui says he really wants to eat some!
**[17:37] Rychee**
I'm tired. Let's go back to the inn.
**[17:41] Lafanpan**
It's the kingdom's officially
recognized Hero's party.
**[17:44] Maevena**
Mister Saitou, do you think
you could appraise this for me?
**[17:48] Saitou**
Maevena! How have you been?
**[17:51] minister**
Excuse me.
**[17:53] minister**
Our king—
**[17:54] minister**
A magical knight of our acquaintance
has broken an important treasure.
**[17:58] minster**
I thought that a craftsman of your
reputation might be able to repair it.
**[18:01] king**
I accidentally dropped it and it chipped.
**[18:04] demon king**
That's why we keep telling you
to wear it properly.
**[18:07] Lafanpan**
The magician from some other
kingdom and friends, too?
**[18:09] Dohnbain**
Saitou!
**[18:10] Dohnbain**
I have perfected the greatest of locks!
**[18:12] Dohnbain**
If you think you can open it,
then go ahead and try!
**[18:15] Saitou**
Even Dohnbain-san is here?
**[18:17] Flanril**
Hurry up and fix it, won't you?
**[18:18] Liliza**
We've been looking everywhere for you!
**[18:20] Gibungle**
I am here as well.
**[18:21] Morlock**
Who is he again?
**[18:22] Guivre**
Would you go... exploring or
something with me sometime?
**[18:24] Monpui**
The bread.
**[18:25] Rychee**
Cainz! Come on, let's go back!
**[18:27] Cainz**
Now, now...
**[18:29] king**
Do you think you could
fix it quickly for us?
**[18:31] minister**
We've prepared compensation
if you're wondering.
**[18:33] Dohnbain**
Saitou! Try opening it!
**[18:35] everyone; background**
Come on! Saitou! Can't we just...
**[18:36] Saitou**
If you all ask so suddenly, I...
**[18:39] everyone; background**
If you would just... Oh, come on! Saitou!
**[18:39] Raelza**
Hey, can't you see Saitou's overwhelmed?
**[18:42] Raelza**
Come back tomorrow or something!
**[18:44] Maevena**
Why is Miss Raelza taking charge?
**[18:46] Lafanpan**
She's already acting like the wife, huh?
**[18:49] Flanril**
If it's not your business, stay out of it.
**[18:52] Raelza**
I am a member of the same party!
**[18:54] Raelza**
And you can just wrap some wire
around that thing to fix it yourself!
**[18:57] Flanril**
What did you just say?
**[18:58] Flanril**
Do you want to have a rematch right here?
**[19:01] Raelza**
I'd like nothing better!
**[19:03] minister**
If you'd please fix this quickly.
**[19:03] Maevena**
Mister Saitou, couldn't you just hurry
up and appraise this for me?
**[19:04] Flanril**
I was here first!
**[19:06] Saitou**
Um...
**[19:07] Dohnbain**
Here!
**[19:08] minister**
If you would.
**[19:09] Lafanpan**
Numbered tickets!
**[19:11] Lafanpan**
They're one gold coin each!
**[19:13] Morlock**
Now, now. Why don't we start
with a little drink?
**[19:16] Flanril**
You geezer, don't touch me!
**[19:18] Gibungle**
I am here as well!
**[19:18] Morlock**
Who is he again?
**[19:20] Saitou**
Everyone, calm down.
**[19:25] Lafanpan**
All right, get your numbered tickets here!
**[19:26] Monpui**
I'll tell you where you can buy
some delicious dried sweet potato.
**[19:27] Cainz**
No, we really can't.
**[19:30] Lafanpan**
No pushing now!
**[19:30] Liliza**
You're happy seeing him again
after so long, aren't you?
**[19:33] Guivre**
Yes, I-I suppose I am.
**[19:33] Lafanpan**
There's enough for everyone!
**[19:36] Lafanpan**
I'll have something to eat too!
**[19:37] minister**
The materials it's made of are quite superb.
**[19:39] Dohnbain**
Oh, this is pretty good!
**[19:39] Maevena**
Oh, you can tell?
**[19:41] Morlock**
My dear Ninia...
**[19:41] Raelza**
Hey, geezer. Stop that already.
**[19:44] Lafanpan**
Just punch him already.
**[19:44] Morlock**
Ninia, you are so very lovely.

*I feel fulfilled...*
**[20:04] Saitou; internal**
*far more than I ever did in my old world.*
**[20:08] OP**
*That world I had always envisioned*
**[20:13] OP**
*Could I have found it?*
**[20:25] OP**
* I lived my days at someone*
* else's convenience*
**[20:30] OP**
*Gaining nothing but compromises and regrets*
**[20:35] OP**
*Because I always felt that*
**[20:37] OP**
*Even if it wasn't me standing here*
**[20:41] OP**
*The world would still keep moving forward*
**[20:45] OP**
*Even after I lost it*
**[20:49] OP**
*And its colors faded*
**[20:51] OP**
*The dream from that hazily remembered day*
**[20:55] OP**
*Still remained*
**[20:57] OP**
*The thing that only I can do*
**[20:59] OP**
*And the scenery that I left behind*
**[21:02] OP**
* I was just looking for an answer*
* from some other time*
**[21:11] OP**
*Those things that don't change*
**[21:16] OP**
*And those words I protected so carefully*
**[21:21] OP**
* Even if they're all just*
* unattractive junk to others*
**[21:26] OP**
* They're all treasures*
* that I will never give up*
**[21:41] OP**
*Unable to become someone special*
**[21:46] OP**
*I'd cover it up with a forced smile*
**[21:50] OP**
*Before I knew it*
**[21:52] OP**
* I'd convinced myself*
* that that’s how life works*
**[21:57] OP**
*I got used to running away*
**[22:12] OP**
*Though I knew I'd never reach it*
**[22:15] OP**
* My pathetic inability*
* to let it go and move on*
**[22:18] OP**
*Made me hang my head*
**[22:22] OP**
* Even when I couldn't see*
* that I was stuck in place*
**[22:28] OP**
* There were surely many other*
* things that never paid off*
**[22:32] OP**
* But I want to believe that*
* each of them will be an answer*
**[22:40] OP**
*I just know it*
**[22:47] OP**
*Those things that don't change*
**[22:52] OP**
* And those aspirations*
* I protected so carefully*
**[22:57] OP**
* Even if they're all just*
* unattractive junk to others*
**[23:02] OP**
* They all make me who I am,*
