[00:02] Arie
    Couldn't it be me?
[00:05] Ryo
    Matsushima...
[00:07] Arie
    You accepted my chocolates
    on Valentine's Day, right?
[00:11] Arie
    I heard you didn't take anyone else's.
[00:14] Ryo
    That's because you came running, and—
[00:17] Arie
    I know. It'd be hard to
    decline in that situation.
[00:20] Arie
    But you know...
[00:21] Arie
    It's really not fair to be nice like that.
[00:24] Arie
    You'll just give me hope.
[00:31] Arie
    I'm sorry. That wasn't fair of me, either.
[00:34] Ryo
    It's okay.
[00:35] Arie
    I kept rambling, too.
[00:37] Arie
    What an awful confession. I'm sorry.
[00:41] Ryo
    Why are you apologizing?
[00:42] Ryo
    Then you're just denying your feelings.
[00:46] Ryo
    At least let me say thank you.
[00:52] Arie
    Th-This is exactly what I
    mean about you being unfair.
[00:56] Ryo
    Wait, did I say something wrong again?
[00:58] Arie
    Oh, God, it's not on purpose.
    That's even worse.
[01:01] Arie
    He's so unfair...
[01:01] Ryo
    Huh? Wait, what?
[01:08] Ryo
    Do I have my apartment key?
[01:13] (Flashback) Arie
    Thanks for hearing me out earlier.
[01:16] (Flashback) Arie
    I basically just told you
    how I felt for my own sake.
[01:20] (Flashback) Arie
    But I'm going to do my best
    to get you to like me back.
[01:24] (Flashback) Arie
    Count on that.
[01:34] Ryo
    Count on that, huh?
[01:37] Ryo
    A year ago, I would've accepted
    Matsushima's confession then and there.
[01:47] Ryo
    But right now...
[01:50] Ryo
    What about Ichika-san?
[01:51] Ryo
    If Ichika-san is suffering or sad
    because of our age difference...
[01:57] Ryo
    I don't want that.
[01:59] Ryo
    I really don't want that.
[02:05] Arie
    I'm so stupid. I can't
    believe I just did that.
[02:11] Arie
    I'm the one who asked him
    to tell me about her,
[02:14] Arie
    yet I got jealous and said all that.
[02:20] Arie
    But...
[02:22] Arie
    I got to tell him how I felt.
[02:25] Arie
    That actually took a lot.
[02:28] Arie
    It's gonna be super awkward seeing him
    at work, but I'll forget about that for now.
[02:32] Arie
    Screw it! I'm taking a paid day off tomorrow!
[02:35] Arie
    It's foreign dramas and wine for me tonight!
[02:37] Arie
    I'm gonna drink until the sun comes up!
[02:40] Ryo
    I haven't been here in a while.
[02:43] Ryo
    Our age difference...
[02:45] (Flashback) Ichika
    I'm younger than you,
    and I'm not used to any of this...

    I'll be waiting for you by the entrance.
[04:55] Ichika
    Sure.
[04:58] Arie
    Amakusa!
[05:00] Ryo
    Hey, Matsushima.
[05:02] Arie
    This is yours. It got mixed
    up in marketing's stuff.
[05:07] Ryo
    Thanks for delivering it.
[05:08] Arie
    Hey, no worries. I needed to come by anyway.
[05:12] Arie
    By the way, you have a big
    meeting tomorrow, right?
[05:15] Ryo
    Yeah, I'm getting ready for it right now.
[05:17] Arie
    I see. Well, good luck.

[05:24] Arie
    Oh, God, I was so nervous...
[05:26] Arie
    Did I talk to him naturally?
[05:29] Arie
    I hadn't talked to him since that night,
[05:31] Arie
    so even trivial conversations
    make me so nervous.
[05:33] Arie
    Wait, was "good luck" the right thing to say?
[05:38] Arie
    What if that has the opposite effect?
[05:41] Arie
    Amakusa never shows how he's
    feeling, so I have no idea.

[05:44] Arie
    Should I have said,
    "You've got this"? I have no idea...
[05:48] Masuda
    Thanks for inviting me over.
[05:52] Masuda
    I bought some beer and random snacks.
[05:54] Ryo
    Thanks.
[05:58] Masuda
    It's rare for you to invite me
    over to your place for drinks.
[06:02] Ryo
    It doesn't hurt every once in a while.
[06:04] Ryo
    I'm also gonna watch some movies I've
    been meaning to watch, so stick around.
[06:07] Masuda
    Yeah, sure.
[06:08] Masuda
    But you've been back at your folks'
    place lately. Why are you back here?
[06:14] Ryo
    I'll be back over here for a while.
[06:17] Masuda
    Huh? Why?
[06:22] Ryo
    My dad's back home.
[06:25] Masuda
    Ah. I see.
[06:28] Ryo
    Jeez. You seem really worried.
[06:31] Ryo
    Do you think I ran away?
[06:33] Masuda
    Huh? Not really.
[06:36] Masuda
    Jeez, what's the matter, Ryo-kun?
[06:38] Masuda
    You're a bit more prickly as of late.
    It's like we're back in high school.
[06:44] Ryo
    Sorry.
[06:46] Ryo
    I've just had a lot on my mind lately.
[06:49] Masuda
    About your dad?
[06:51] Ryo
    There's that, but...
[06:54] Ryo
    A coworker asked me out the other day.
[06:58] Masuda
    And?
[07:00] Ryo
    I told her I had a crush on someone.
[07:03] Ryo
    But she said she was still going to
    work hard to get me to like her back.
[07:08] Masuda
    Oh, my goodness!
    What an admirable little girl!
[07:12] Ryo
    She said she wanted to
    know more about my crush,
[07:15] Ryo
    so I told her... that Ichika-san's
    my little sister's classmate.
[07:19] Masuda
    You told her that?!
[07:21] Ryo
    She said we'd probably both be
    hurt because of the age difference,
[07:24] Ryo
    so I'd be better off with her instead.
[07:28] Ryo
    I figure she's absolutely correct.
[07:31] Ryo
    I'm sure it'd be way more socially acceptable and realistic if I went out with her.
[07:36] Ryo
    And it's likely better for Ichika-san, too.
[07:39] Ryo
    So I've been giving it a lot of thought...
[07:43] Masuda
    Oh. I see.
[07:45] Ryo
    What kind of attitude is that?
[07:47] Masuda
    What do you mean?
[07:47] Ryo
    Don't give me that! Just tell me.
[07:50] Masuda
    Seriously, Ryo.
[07:52] Masuda
    You don't look okay with any of this.
[07:55] Masuda
    Listen, Ryo. You've been nothing
    but awful to all the girls who've
[08:00] Masuda
    ever shown any interest in you.
SIGN    Stab
[08:02] Ryo
    Well, y-yeah...
[08:04] Masuda
    And you're going to do something awful again?
[08:08] Masuda
    Be a decent guy for once.
[08:11] Masuda
    Going out with the girl who asked you
    out when you're feeling like that
[08:14] Masuda
    is just insanely rude to
    both her and Ichika-chan.
[08:17] Masuda
    You're only thinking about yourself.
[08:21] Masuda
    You need to be prepared for the
    fact that you might get hurt.
[08:25] Masuda
    And that's all from me.
[08:27] Masuda
    All right. Let's watch some movies.
    What do you wanna watch?
[08:34] Ryo
    You're right.
[08:36] Ryo
    I will. I'll be prepared.
[08:40] Masuda
    So, hey, is this coworker of yours cute?
[08:43] Ryo
    You know, you really are
    unfortunate sometimes.
[08:45] Masuda
    What's that supposed to mean?!
[08:47] Ryo
    Do you really need me to
    explain "unfortunate"?
[08:48] Masuda
    Whatever. So what are we gonna watch?
[08:55] Ichika
    Three days ago, I got a call from Ryo-san.
SIGN    Ryo-san
[08:57] Ryo
    I'd like to take you to a
    sweets buffet for White Day.
[09:01] Ryo
    Do you have any plans next Saturday?
[09:04] Ichika
    And he invited me out.
[09:07] Ichika
    Was this one of the options
    from your presentation?
SIGN    Ichika-san,
    In regard to your White Day
[09:11] Ryo
    Yes! I thought one good deed deserves another,
[09:15] Ryo
    so I decided to go with this plan.
[09:17] Ichika
    Oh, I see.
[09:18] Ichika
    So it was...
[09:20] Ryo
    Also, I figured it'd be better if
    we could enjoy something together.
[09:24] Ichika
    I-I see...
[09:27] Ryo
    Do you not want to?
[09:28] Ichika
    I—
[09:31] Ichika
    I'm troubled because I don't mind it.
[09:36] Old man
    Why do I suddenly smell flowers?
[09:37] Woman
    I suddenly smell roses...
[09:39] Ichika
    Come to think of it, we have gone out before,
[09:42] Ichika
    albeit partially because he tricked me,
[09:45] Ichika
    but this might be our first actual date.
[09:52] Ichika
    No, this isn't a date!
[09:53] Ichika
    He's just doing this for White Day
    or something! Yeah!
[10:00] Ichika
    Wow... There are so many to choose from!
[10:04] Ichika
    I don't know what I should get.
[10:06] Ichika
    I want to try one of everything.
[10:08] Ichika
    Maybe I'll prioritize
    the strawberry sweets...
[10:10] Ichika
    Ugh, what should I do?
[10:13] Ryo
    You're really struggling, huh?
[10:15] Ichika
    Can you blame me?!
[10:17] Ichika
    Ryo-san! There's a chocolate fountain!
[10:20] Ichika
    Can I try it out?
[10:21] Ryo
    Sure, of course.
[10:26] Ryo
    I'm going to watch Ichika-san
    having fun dipping things
[10:28] Ryo
    on an endless loop later.
[10:30] Ryo
    She's just so cute.
[10:35] Ryo
    You'll get chocolate on your sleeve.
[10:38] Ichika
    Oh, sorry.
[10:40] Ryo
    I'm glad it didn't get dirty.
[10:43] Ryo
    You look very lovely in your outfit today.
[10:46] Ichika
    Why did I actually buy this magazine?
[10:48] Sign
    Look cute yet mature
    with a casual look
[10:50] Ichika
    Oh, th-this is just... We were going to
    a buffet, so I wanted to look nice.
[10:54] Ichika
    Th-That's all it is!
[10:57] Ryo
    It looks like they have
    dishes other than sweets.
[11:00] Ichika
    Yes, they have pasta, too.
[11:02] Ichika
    Ryo-san, is this your first
    time at a sweets buffet?
[11:05] Ryo
    Yes.
[11:06] Ichika
    I see. I figured you'd been to
    one with another girl before.
[11:12] Ichika
    Oh, no. That sounded awful...
[11:17] Ryo
    Ichika-san, could it be...
[11:19] Ryo
    that you're jealous?
[11:23] Ryo
    Just kidding.
[11:25] Ichika
    Huh?
[11:29] Ryo
    Huh? Wait, you were actually jealous?
[11:35] Ichika
    No!
[11:36] Ichika
    No, not at all!
SIGN    Eek
SIGN    Eek
[11:37] Ichika
    I-I just figured you'd
    gone with someone before!
[11:41] Ichika
    That's why I asked!
[11:43] Ichika
    Don't get the wrong idea! Here's your plate!
[11:46] Ichika
    Come on, Ryo-san! We have limited time!
[11:49] Ryo
    Oh, uh... Sure.
[11:55] Ichika
    Why are you beaming?
[11:59] Ichika
    You're so creepy.
[12:00] Ichika
    Why did I react like that earlier?
[12:04] Ryo
    The corners of my lips naturally form
    a smile whenever I'm with you, Ichika-san.
[12:08] Ichika
    Maybe you should get that looked at.
[12:10] Ryo
    Yes. I have a severe case of being in love.
[12:14] Saito
    Acting Section Chief?
[12:16] Kotake
    Oh, what?
[12:17] Saito
    It is you.
SIGN     Work Mode: ON
[12:18] Ryo
    Hey, what a coincidence.
[12:20] Saito
    It totally is.
[12:21] Hanaoka
    Do you like sweets, sir?
[12:24] Ryo
    Yeah, I do.
[12:26] Kotake
    Wow, that's sorta surprising.
[12:28] Ryo
    Is it? Just the three of you today?
[12:31] Saito
    Yes.
[12:32] Saito
    It's actually my birthday today.
[12:35] Kotake
    So we're here to celebrate.
[12:37] Ryo
    I see. Well, happy birthday.
[12:40] Saito
    Thank you.
[12:42] Saito
    I'm probably too old to
    celebrate my birthday, but...
SIGN    Stare...
[12:46] Ryo
    That's not true.
SIGN    And freeze
[12:49] Kotake
    Hey, I was wondering...
[12:51] Kotake
    Is this your little sister, sir?
[12:54] Ryo
    Huh?
[12:55] Hanaoka
    Oh, you did mention that you
    had a sister in high school.
[12:58] Saito
    You must be really close.
[13:00] Ryo
    No, she's not my—
[13:01] Ichika
    Yes.
[13:02] Ichika
    You must work with my brother.
    Thanks for always looking after him.
[13:07] Saito
    Oh, it's our pleasure.
[13:09] Hanaoka
    What year are you in?
[13:11] Ichika
    I'll be starting my third in April.
[13:13] Saito
    So that means you're still...
[13:15] Ichika
    Yes, I'm seventeen.
[13:16] All
    You're so young!

[13:35] Hanaoka
    If you'll excuse us.
[13:37] Kotake
    Oh, right.
[13:38] Saito
    I'm starving.
[13:39] Kotake
    Oh, this? It's new.
[13:40] Saito
    That looks good.
[13:42] Ryo
    Ichika-san.
[13:42] Ichika
    Um...
[13:43] Ichika
    I'm sorry for lying. I'm glad
    they hadn't met Rio before.
[13:49] Ryo
    That's not...
[13:50] Ichika
    I figured they might think it's weird that
    you're with your little sister's friend.
[13:55] Ichika
    So it just came out.
[13:57] Ichika
    I'm sorry for lying.
[14:00] Ryo
    I'm not really worried about it.
    You were just looking out for me.
[14:04] Ryo
    But...
[14:06] Ryo
    I wanted to introduce you as
    the person I'm in love with.
[14:11] Ichika
    B-But that would cause you a lot of trouble.
SIGN    Gloom...
[14:18] Ichika
    Ugh, why are you so depressed?
[14:27] Ichika
    Oh, this cake is really good!
[14:30] Ichika
    Here!
[14:31] Ichika
    We should have some fun since we're here!
[14:37] Ichika
    Okay?
[14:46] Ryo
    Yes.
[14:51] Ichika
    I'm so full.
[14:58] Ryo
    As long as I'm by Ichika-san's side,
[15:03] Ryo
    she might have to force herself to lie
[15:06] Ryo
    and smile like that in secret.
[15:11] Ryo
    Ichika-san.
[15:15] Ryo
    Would you like to go look at the ocean?
[15:27] Ryo
    Here's some tea.
[15:28] Ichika
    Thank you very much. It's so warm.
[15:31] Ryo
    Are you chilly at all?
[15:33] Ichika
    I'm fine.
[15:35] Ichika
    I think this might be the first time I've
    come to the ocean at this time of year.
[15:38] Ryo
    The ocean during the spring is nice.
[15:42] Ryo
    Um... Was I able to properly repay you today?
[15:48] Ichika
    What if I said no?
[15:51] Ryo
    Then I'd be prolonging our
    activities further today.
[15:57] Ichika
    Yes, you did.
[15:58] Ichika
    I had fun, and the food was good.
[16:01] Ryo
    Really?
[16:02] Ichika
    Now you're just fishing for compliments.
[16:07] Ichika
    Yes, I really had fun. Thank you very much.
[16:13] Ryo
    I'm glad to hear it.
[16:14] Ichika
    Your personality is awful.
[16:22] Ryo
    What society thinks and our age difference...
[16:28] Ichika
    Hey!
[16:28] Ryo
    Do we...
[16:30] Ryo
    Do we still look like siblings?
[16:34] Ryo
    I wonder if she'll ever be able to...
[16:37] Ichika
    I-I don't think so...
[16:48] Ryo
    ...love me enough to not
    care about any of that.
[17:00] Ryo
    That was a rather delayed scream.
[17:02] Ichika
    Wait, wait, what were you trying to do?
[17:04] Ryo
    Exactly what it looked like.
[17:06] Ichika
    Don't get ahead of yourself!
    You idiot! You're the worst!
[17:16] Ryo
    Right...
[17:17] (Flashback) Masuda
    Be a decent guy for once.
[17:22] Ryo
    I am pretty awful.
[17:26] Ichika
    Haven't I been saying that this whole time?
[17:28] Ryo
    I love that about you, Ichika-san.
[17:33] Ichika
    I got a really nice picture
    of the cake from earlier.
[17:35] Ryo
    Really?
[17:37] Ichika
    I'll send you the picture.
[17:39] Ichika
    One sec. I'm going to edit it a bit.
[17:42] Ichika
    I'll turn up the contrast... then fix the hue...
[17:44] Ryo
    Wow, you're really used to this.
[17:50] Ryo
    Hey. Sorry to bother you on your day off.
[17:53] Ryo
    Want to go drinking after work
    on Thursday? Just the two of us?
[17:57] Ryo
    Since it's around White Day,
    I want to repay you,
[18:00] Ryo
    and there's something I want
    to tell you, Matsushima.
[18:02] Ryo
    What do you think?
[18:03] Ichika
    I just sent you the picture.
[18:06] Sign
    Ichika-san
[18:06] Sign
    Matsushima
[18:08] Ryo
    You're right. It's really pretty.
[18:10] Ryo
    A picture can change so much
    depending on who's taking it.
[18:14] Ichika
    It's called editing.
[18:16] Ryo
    But look at this brilliance.
SIGN    Train is arriving
[18:18] Ichika
    No.
[18:22] Ryo
    This is my treat to you for White Day.
[18:26] Arie
    Wow, thank you.
[18:29] Arie
    Oh, I've heard these shortbread
    cookies are great.
[18:32] Ryo
    That's what the employee
    recommended, so I got them.
[18:35] Ryo
    I'm glad they're popular.
[18:37] Arie
    Maybe I'll have them as a
    treat for my hard work.
[18:41] Arie
    So...
[18:43] Arie
    You had something you
    wanted to tell me, right?
[18:50] Ryo
    Can I get straight to the point?
[18:52] Arie
    I'd honestly prefer that.
[18:54] Ryo
    I see... You're right.
[18:57] Arie
    I can pretty much guess what
    Amakusa wants to tell me.
[19:03] Arie
    Especially if it's something important.
[19:08] Ryo
    All right. I'll just say it.
[19:11] Ryo
    I want you to give up on me.
[19:15] Ryo
    To be honest, I thought it'd be
    better if I went out with you...
[19:20] Ryo
    Both for me and for my crush.
[19:24] Ryo
    I know I'm just thinking about myself...
    And this is really rude toward you. I'm awful.
[19:33] Ryo
    But I just couldn't.
[19:35] Ryo
    Even if our age difference might make
    us suffer, she's the only one for me.
[19:43] Ryo
    I'm being pretty awful right now,
[19:44] Ryo
    but you were sincere with your feelings for me,
[19:48] Ryo
    so I wanted to be honest with you, as well.
[19:51] Ryo
    I'm sorry. That's why I
    want you to just give up.
[19:56] Ryo
    Please.
[19:59] Arie
    Huh?
[20:01] Arie
    What?! Wait, don't apologize like that!
[20:11] Arie
    All right. I'll give up.
[20:13] Arie
    I said I would work hard
    to get you to like me,
[20:16] Arie
    but I'll give up.
[20:18] Ryo
    Matsushima...
[20:19] Arie
    You see... I actually didn't like
    you very much until just recently.
[20:24] Ryo
    Huh?
[20:24] Arie
    You were really hard to approach.
[20:26] Ryo
    Really?
[20:27] Arie
    Yeah.
[20:29] Arie
    But you've seemed much
    more approachable lately.
[20:34] Arie
    And that's when I started to fall for you.
[20:38] Arie
    You probably changed because of your crush.
[20:42] Arie
    You always have such a kind look
    on your face when you talk about her.
[20:46] Ryo
    Oh... I didn't even notice.
[20:49] Arie
    I think I like the part of you
    that's in love with your crush.
[20:55] Arie
    So I had lost from the start.
[20:58] Ryo
    Lost? This isn't about winning or losing.
[21:01] Arie
    It is, though.
[21:03] Arie
    You're going to deal with
    the age difference, right?
[21:06] Arie
    You need enough resolve to do everything
    you can to get her to notice you.
[21:10] Arie
    So... do your best.
[21:14] Ryo
    All right.
[21:16] Arie
    Sorry, that almost ended up being a lecture.
[21:18] Arie
    This looks really good. Let's eat.
[21:22] Arie
    Oh, I'm gonna stop by a place on my way home.
[21:25] Arie
    Can we part ways here?
[21:26] Ryo
    Sure. Thanks for everything today.
[21:29] Arie
    No, thank you. I'll see you tomorrow at work.
[21:35] Ryo
    Yeah, see you.
[21:37] Ryo
    Be careful.
[21:38] Arie
    Yeah.
[22:00] Arie
    Ah... It's good...
[22:11] Arie
    I did well today. I think
    I deserve these right now.
[22:19] Ryo
    I need to call Ichika-san
    before it gets too late.
[22:25] Arie
    You're going to deal with
    the age difference, right?
[22:27] Arie
    You need enough resolve to do everything
    you can to get her to notice you.
[22:35] Ryo
    Sometimes, resolve just isn't enough.
