[00:09] ---
    You're living with a minor?
[00:11] ---
    Yeah. I knew them when we were little,
    and they ran away from home.
[00:16] ---
    Since when?
[00:18] ---
    A few months ago.
[00:20] ---
    So, um, just so we're clear.
[00:22] ---
    Is it a girl? A boy?
[00:25] ---
    Do I really have to say?
[00:30] ---
    Yoshida-kun, I'm sure you know this,
    but that's very close to a crime.
[00:36] ---
    And can you swear
    you won't fall in love with her?
[00:41] ---
    I can!
[00:43] ---
    I see.
[00:44] ---
    If you're that insistent,
    then let me see her.
[00:53] ---
    Hello, Sayu-chan!
[00:56] ---
    I'm Gotou.
[01:00] ---
    For starters...
[01:05] ---
    Why don't we have some snacks?
[02:39] ---
    So basically you grabbed some girl off the street
    and let her stay with you?
SIGN    "Reality"
[02:46] ---
    I was suspicious when you started talking about
    how you knew her when you were young,
[02:49] ---
    even though I didn't ask.
[02:51] ---
    You're surprisingly bold, Yoshida-kun.
[02:57] ---
    Sayu-chan, did he do anything weird to you?
[03:01] ---
    Gotou-san!
[03:03] ---
    Nothing.
[03:05] ---
    I'm honestly surprised.
[03:08] ---
    "Surprised," huh?
[03:11] ---
    Well, it seems he's not into younger girls.
[03:16] ---
    You got lucky.
[03:20] ---
    Even if I were, I wouldn't do anything.
[03:25] ---
    I don't know about that.
[03:27] ---
    Hey! I'm not that kind of guy!
[03:32] ---
    I'm joking!
[03:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:37] ---
    No. It's nothing.
[03:40] ---
    It didn't look like "nothing" to me.
[03:43] ---
    It's nothing, really.
[03:46] ---
    I just may have had a bit too much for dinner.
[03:49] ---
    I see.
[03:57] ---
    I'm gonna use the bathroom.
[04:01] ---
    Okay.
[04:09] ---
    Hey, Sayu-chan.
[04:11] ---
    Yes?
[04:13] ---
    I'd like to talk to you in private.
[04:16] ---
    Private?
[04:18] ---
    Yes.
[04:20] ---
    You have something you want to ask me, too?
[04:23] ---
    So how about it?
[04:34] ---
    Thank you!
[04:39] ---
    Um, Yoshida-san.
    Sorry... but I have a request.
[04:50] ---
    Eggs, chives, and miso right?
[04:55] ---
    You're really okay alone with her?
[04:57] ---
    Yeah. I'm fine.
[05:00] ---
    I see.
[05:02] ---
    Okay, off I go.
[05:03] ---
    Bye!
[05:25] ---
    He's gone.
[05:26] ---
    Thanks.
[05:28] ---
    No...
[05:31] ---
    Can I go first?
[05:35] ---
    Okay.
[05:37] ---
    Is it true you're in high school?
[05:40] ---
    It is.
[05:42] ---
    Where did you come from?
[05:43] ---
    Hokkaido.
[05:46] ---
    When did you leave home?
[05:49] ---
    About six months ago.
[05:52] ---
    Why?
[05:55] ---
    I don't want to answer that.
[05:58] ---
    All right. I understand.
[06:01] ---
    I won't ask you about
    how you got here or why you left.
[06:07] ---
    But there's something
    I need to make absolutely clear.
[06:14] ---
    As Yoshida-kun's friend.
[06:17] ---
    And this is something that only
    I, a complete stranger, can ask.
[06:22] ---
    How long are you going to stay here?
[06:28] ---
    What are you doing here?
[06:32] ---
    I went to the movie theater at the station.
[06:35] ---
    But this is the opposite way
    from the station.
[06:38] ---
    I felt like taking a walk.
[06:41] ---
    What about you, Yoshida-senpai?
[06:44] ---
    I got asked to buy some stuff for breakfast.
[06:48] ---
    By who?
[06:50] ---
    Who else but Sayu?
[06:53] ---
    Is she at your place now?
[06:54] ---
    Yes, of course she is.
[06:58] ---
    She doesn't have anywhere else to go.
[07:01] ---
    I see.
[07:07] ---
    Senpai, can I go shopping with you?
[07:23] ---
    No answer, huh?
[07:31] ---
    Teenage kids are special.
[07:35] ---
    No matter how much you struggle,
[07:37] ---
    right now you can't be anything
    but a high-school girl.
[07:42] ---
    That's how powerful that label is.
[07:47] ---
    No matter what you do,
    you'll never be anything but a high-school girl.
[07:53] ---
    Whether you intend to use that label
    for your own benefit or not...
[07:58] ---
    Yoshida-kun might be fine with it,
    but society won't be.
[08:12] ---
    Thank you.
[08:15] ---
    I told myself that I wanted to
    run away from everything—to just forget.
[08:21] ---
    But I think what I actually wanted
    was for somebody to tell me not to run away.
[08:28] ---
    I've stayed with a lot of men
    since I left home.
[08:35] ---
    Um...
[08:37] ---
    Letting them use my body...
[08:41] ---
    Something inside me just went crazy.
[08:45] ---
    I let them use me just to have a place
    to stay for a few nights.
[08:50] ---
    And sometimes, when they wanted me,
    it made me feel good.
[08:58] ---
    But Yoshida-san told me that
    what I was doing wasn't right.
[09:05] ---
    Not only did he not do anything to me,
[09:08] ---
    he told me he'd set me straight.
[09:16] ---
    Sorry...
[09:18] ---
    I know this is serious, but...
[09:22] ---
    I can just see it in my head.
[09:28] ---
    I'm glad you found a place
    where you can be safe.
[09:37] ---
    Yeah...
[09:40] ---
    Yoshida-kun accepts you. And you trust him.
[09:45] ---
    I can tell that easily by watching you.
[09:52] ---
    So it's okay for you
    to let him be nice to you.
[09:55] ---
    I'm sure of that.
[09:58] ---
    But...
[10:01] ---
    That's okay only if it's done
    in the right way.
[10:06] ---
    You know what I mean, right?
[10:14] ---
    I do.
[10:15] ---
    So you can take your time with it, but think.
[10:19] ---
    About what you'll do next.
[10:24] ---
    My past and where I was were things
    I just had to get away from.
[10:29] ---
    No, that's still true.
[10:32] ---
    Yeah.
[10:37] ---
    Just thinking about it
    makes me want to throw up.
[10:39] ---
    And I don't want to go back at all.
[10:43] ---
    But I know I can't keep doing this forever.
[10:47] ---
    So I'll face my past,
[10:51] ---
    leave here, and go back to where I was.
[10:57] ---
    For my sake, and Yoshida-san's sake.
[11:07] ---
    Good.
[11:08] ---
    As long you feel that way, you'll be okay.
[11:15] ---
    You get to be a high-school girl
    for only a short part of your life.
[11:21] ---
    So face the things you need to face.
[11:24] ---
    Accept the kindness you need to accept.
[11:26] ---
    Live your life.
[11:28] ---
    Whether you go to high school or not,
    you're a high-schooler.
[11:58] ---
    Take care on your way home.
[12:01] ---
    I want to ask you something.
[12:05] ---
    If I asked to stay at your place tonight,
    would you let me?
[12:11] ---
    What does that mean?
[12:15] ---
    It means just what I said.
[12:17] ---
    Why do I have to let someone stay over
    if she's not my girlfriend?
[12:22] ---
    Sayu-chan's not your girlfriend, right?
[12:24] ---
    I'm just looking after her.
[12:27] ---
    What about Gotou-san?
[12:34] ---
    What about Gotou-san?
[12:36] ---
    Why are you talking about her?
[12:39] ---
    And why won't you answer my question?
[12:42] ---
    What are you talking about?
[12:44] ---
    She's at your place right now, isn't she?
[12:49] ---
    How did you know?
[12:52] ---
    The two of you were whispering to each other,
    and it was suspicious, so I got curious.
[13:00] ---
    You were acting weird
    when you left the yakiniku place.
[13:04] ---
    And then, she got off
    at your station with you!
[13:10] ---
    So I got off as well,
    and just kind of followed you.
[13:15] ---
    And you were heading to the residential area,
[13:19] ---
    so I realized you were both going
    to your place.
[13:25] ---
    Um... I'm sorry for being a stalker.
[13:31] ---
    I apologize for that.
[13:33] ---
    No, it's not really...
[13:36] ---
    But Yoshida-san, whenever I ask about her,
    you won't give me a straight answer.
[13:41] ---
    It makes me sad,
    as if you're hiding something from me.
[13:46] ---
    Hey...
[13:48] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:57] ---
    So, didn't you have a question for me?
[14:07] ---
    Gotou-san...
[14:10] ---
    Are you in love with Yoshida-san?
[14:18] ---
    Wait, was that what you wanted to ask?
    Is that it?
[14:22] ---
    It's important.
[14:24] ---
    To who?
[14:28] ---
    To me.
[14:30] ---
    And to Yoshida-san, too!
[14:36] ---
    He loves you.
[14:41] ---
    Does that bother you?
[14:42] ---
    That's not the issue here!
[14:45] ---
    Don't get mad. You're so cute, really.
[14:52] ---
    I do.
[14:53] ---
    I'm not interested in anybody else.
[14:56] ---
    Really?
[14:59] ---
    Why would I lie?
[15:01] ---
    Because it's hard to know
    what you're really thinking.
[15:06] ---
    I like being a mysterious woman.
[15:08] ---
    It makes you hard to deal with.
[15:12] ---
    You came out and said it, huh?
[15:17] ---
    I really do like him.
[15:19] ---
    I've been watching him
    since he came to the company.
[15:25] ---
    Good.
[15:27] ---
    "Good"?
[15:28] ---
    I'm really happy he'll get the girl he loves.
[15:33] ---
    Will you support me?
[15:36] ---
    O-Of course I will!
[15:39] ---
    Thank you!
[15:48] ---
    I thought you'd taken Gotou-san home
    to sleep with you, since Sayu-chan was gone.
[15:54] ---
    Why wouldn't Sayu be at home, though?
[16:00] ---
    I don't get it.
[16:03] ---
    Let me ask you this.
    You still like Gotou-san, right?
[16:09] ---
    Yeah. I couldn't give up on her
    that quickly.
[16:14] ---
    Then what you're doing doesn't make sense.
[16:17] ---
    How?
[16:18] ---
    The girl you love is coming to your house!
[16:22] ---
    And you're letting some random teenager
    be in the same room. It's weird.
[16:28] ---
    Well, I'll admit it's weird.
[16:31] ---
    But there's nothing I can do about it.
[16:34] ---
    Why? The woman you've always loved,
    and some random teenager.
[16:39] ---
    You can't even compare the two.
[16:42] ---
    Listen. Is what you're trying to say here
    that I should kick out Sayu?
[16:48] ---
    No. That's not it.
[16:53] ---
    I'm asking about what your priority is.
[16:59] ---
    Priority?
[17:00] ---
    That's right.
[17:02] ---
    If I were you, and I really
    wanted to date Gotou-san,
[17:07] ---
    I'd hide Sayu-chan.
[17:09] ---
    But if I did that and ended up dating Gotou-san,
    I'd have to kick her out!
[17:15] ---
    And that's why—
[17:20] ---
    I'm sorry!
[17:21] ---
    No.
[17:23] ---
    I know that you're not the kind
    of person who can do that.
[17:29] ---
    But at the same time I wonder...
[17:33] ---
    That's not really love, is it?
[17:37] ---
    I mean your feelings toward Gotou-san.
[17:40] ---
    It's a mix of actual love
    and simple admiration.
[17:44] ---
    No, it's not.
[17:46] ---
    Or maybe your feelings toward
    Sayu-chan are changing?
[17:52] ---
    I can tell you that isn't true!
[17:54] ---
    It's not?
[17:56] ---
    Then you're just too nice.
[18:02] ---
    And when you're too nice,
    you won't get the things you really want.
[18:14] ---
    Sorry.
[18:15] ---
    If I stay here any longer,
    I'm likely to say something else I shouldn't.
[18:19] ---
    So I'm going to go home.
[18:21] ---
    Okay...
[18:23] ---
    Okay, bye!
[18:33] ---
    Bye!
[18:44] ---
    I'm back.
[18:48] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:50] ---
    Can't you tell? Makeup!
[18:54] ---
    And we're done!
[18:57] ---
    Welcome back.
[18:59] ---
    Yoshida-san, what do you think?
[19:02] ---
    W-Well... I guess it looks good.
[19:09] ---
    There's nothing else you can say?
[19:11] ---
    That's right. If you can't compliment a girl
    when she changes something,
[19:15] ---
    no girls will like you!
[19:17] ---
    That's right!
[19:30] ---
    She's a good girl, huh?
[19:31] ---
    Huh?
[19:32] ---
    I mean Sayu-chan.
[19:34] ---
    She's a great girl.
[19:37] ---
    Well, yeah. She is.
[19:39] ---
    And that's why you couldn't just leave her?
[19:42] ---
    No, I don't know about that.
[19:46] ---
    Well, I think that's okay.
[19:49] ---
    Huh?
[19:50] ---
    Nothing!
[19:54] ---
    Don't try anything with her.
[19:56] ---
    The two of us have a hotline now.
[20:00] ---
    I won't!
[20:04] ---
    And...
[20:11] ---
    Watch over her.
[20:14] ---
    Of course. That's the plan.
[20:17] ---
    I wouldn't let a teenage girl stay at my place
    if I weren't serious about taking care of her.
[20:22] ---
    But she's unstable
    and doesn't understand herself at all.
[20:35] ---
    So there's no telling what feelings she has
    that might suddenly burst out.
[20:41] ---
    Well, you'll be okay no matter what happens.
[20:45] ---
    What?
[20:47] ---
    Don't you know?
[20:48] ---
    The bosses at work all call you
    the problem-solver.
[20:58] ---
    You always go out of your way
    to get involved with the biggest problems.
[21:04] ---
    Give me a break.
[21:08] ---
    I'm cheering for you.
[21:10] ---
    With work, and Sayu-chan, too!
[21:18] ---
    Thanks.
[22:54] ---
    What? You didn't hear?
[22:58] ---
    That new girl that started here.
    Sayu-chaso! Sayu-chaso!
[23:02] ---
    I think I did see her name on the shift list.
[23:06] ---
    She's a high-school girl, right?
[23:08] ---
    Yeah. And super-duper cute, too!
[23:12] ---
    Super-duper cute?
[23:14] ---
    I'll look forward to that.
[23:17] ---
    I'll rip your head off if you
    lay a hand on her.
