**[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.
