*I love stuff like this.*
**[00:24] Arie**
* Everyone's been drawing*
* Valentine's Day stuff.*
**[00:29] Arie**
*What an excellent service.*
**[00:35] Arie**
* I was trying to calm my nerves*
* by looking at some illustrations,*
**[00:39] Arie**

**[02:26] Rio**
Do you really need to wait by the door?
**[02:28] Ryo**
Of course I do! I want to wait outside,
**[02:28] Sign**
Grar
**[02:30] Ryo**
but the neighbors would think I'm
a creeper, so I'm waiting here!
**[02:34] Rio**
Yeah, sure.
**[02:35] Rio**
You do you.
**[02:40] Rio**
* He looks like a pet waiting*
* for his master to come home.*
**[02:51] Ryo**
Hello!
**[02:54] Ichika**
G-Good morning...
**[02:57] Ryo**
Good morning.
**[03:00] Ryo**
Ichika-san, you look a bit pale.
**[03:03] Ichika**
I just didn't get much sleep.
**[03:05] Ryo**
Er, well, come in.
**[03:10] Ryo**
Would you like to sit down for a bit?
**[03:12] Ichika**
No.
**[03:13] Ryo**
You could lie down on the sofa.
**[03:15] Ichika**
No, really. I'm fine.
**[03:18] Ichika**
I-I came over today to give
you a Valentine's Day gift...
**[03:25] Ichika**
Uh, what's with the hands?
**[03:28] Ryo**
Ready to accept my chocolate at any time.
**[03:30] Ichika**
You're so annoying, it's almost refreshing.
**[03:34] Ichika**
I'm not here to give you chocolate.
**[03:37] Ichika**
I spent a few days trying to
figure out what to give you.
**[03:40] Ichika**
I kept thinking... and before I
knew it, it was Valentine's Day.
**[03:46] Ichika**
I know I'm going to regret it...
**[03:49] Ichika**
but I'm going to do it.
**[03:55] Ichika**
This is what I decided to do!
**[04:05] Ichika**
There! That's my Valentine's Day gift to you!
**[04:08] Ichika**
I tried to avoid chocolates,
and this is what happened!
**[04:12] Ichika**
I will not be taking any thoughts
or comments on this matter, ever!
**[04:15] Ichika**
Now, if you'll excuse me!
**[04:22] Rio**
Oh, did Ichika leave?
**[04:25] Rio**
I was gonna go to school with her—
**[04:29] Rio**
What are you doing?
**[04:32] Rio**
Did she tackle you?
**[04:35] Ryo**
She gave me something far more destructive.
**[04:39] Rio**
Well, judging by your reaction,
**[04:41] Rio**
it must've made you really happy.
**[04:43] Ryo**
It did.
**[04:49] Ryo**
She's so cute...
**[04:53] Rio**
Anyway, I'm heading out,
so make sure you lock the door.
**[04:53] Ryo**
She's so cute...
**[05:00] Ryo**
* She seemed pretty adamant*
* about not giving me chocolate.*
**[05:03] Ryo**
*Masuda must've said something to her.*
**[05:17] Ryo**
It only took a second for me to completely
change my opinion about Valentine's.
**[05:26] Ichika**
I'm so sorry, Rio.
**[05:28] Ichika**
We should've just walked to school together.
**[05:30] Rio**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:32] Rio**
By the way, my brother seemed pretty happy.
**[05:35] Rio**
He was writhing by the front door.
**[05:38] Ichika**
I... I see...
**[05:40] Rio**
Why is your speech so stilted?
**[05:42] Ichika**
I'm going to die from embarrassment
just thinking about it.
**[05:45] Ichika**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:46] Ichika**
Here, Rio. Your BFF chocolate.
**[05:49] Rio**
Oh, sweet. Thanks.
**[05:49] Yamagishi**
My mom's snoring is insane.
**[05:52] Yamagishi**
I can hear her next door.
She's so frickin' loud.
**[05:53] Ichika**
Ru-chan, Sacchan, here!
**[05:55] Rui**
Wow, thanks.
**[05:57] Satsuki**
Yay!
**[05:57] Yamagishi**
I couldn't sleep at all yesterday.
**[05:58] Yamagishi**
Here.
**[06:00] Rui**
And here's one from me.
**[06:02] Ichika**
Wow, this looks so good. Did you make these?
**[06:02] Yamagishi**
The girls seem to be having fun.
**[06:04] Satsuki**
And here.
**[06:06] Rio**
The packaging is so cute!
**[06:06] Rio**
It looks delicious.
**[06:08] Satsuki**
Right? The chocolates inside
are super cute, too.
**[06:09] Satsuki**
So cute!
**[06:13] Yamagishi**
So I finally got super pissed,

2/14 Tuesday
***SIGN*** Arima Ichika
***SIGN*** Do you have some time at lunch today?
***SIGN*** Display
**[06:17] Yamagishi**
and we got into a fight.
**[06:22] Yamagishi**
What're you looking at?
**[06:24] Kai**
Nothing...
**[06:25] Yamagishi**
Why are you smirking?
**[06:26] Kai**
What? I'm not.
**[06:29] Yamagishi**
Lemme see!
**[06:29] Kai**
Dude, get off of me!
**[06:31] Yamagishi**
You're looking at something
pervy, aren't you?
**[06:33] Kai**
No!
**[06:34] Yamagishi**
Come on! Show me!
**[06:42] Ichika**
Sorry to ask you to meet with me at lunch.
**[06:45] Ichika**
I thought about giving it to you in class,
**[06:48] Ichika**
but I thought you might not like that.
**[06:51] Ichika**
It's also to thank you for
letting me borrow the books,
**[06:55] Ichika**
but I hope you enjoy them.
**[06:59] Ichika**
Anyway, uh... I'll see you later.
**[07:01] Kai**
Hang on a sec.
**[07:03] Ichika**
Oh, do you not like chocolate?
**[07:06] Kai**
No, that's not it.
**[07:10] Kai**
You're giving this to
me as a friend... right?
**[07:14] Ichika**
I, uh...
**[07:17] Girl A**
Really?
**[07:19] Girl B**
It's a secret, so don't
go blabbing it to people.
**[07:23] Girl A**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:24] Girl B**
Wow, that was reassuring.
**[07:26] Girl B**
You're probably going to tell someone.
**[07:28] Girl A**
Don't worry.
**[07:30] Ichika**
U-Um...
**[07:32] Kai**
If I said I would've preferred something only
for me rather than something obligatory...
**[07:37] Kai**
would you get mad?
**[07:38] Ichika**
I, uh... Does that mean...
**[07:43] Kai**
What I'm getting at is...
**[07:45] Kai**
I want you to go out with me.
**[07:51] Ichika**
U-Um... I...
**[07:54] Ichika**
I've never looked at you
in that way... so, um...
**[07:59] Kai**
Then could you start?
**[08:02] Kai**
Think it over, okay?
**[08:06] Kai**
You can take your time replying. I'll wait.
**[08:10] Kai**
Anyway, I'm gonna head back to class.
**[08:13] Kai**
Thanks for the chocolates.
**[08:30] Arie**
*When should I give Amakusa his chocolates?*
**[08:33] Arie**
*Lunch break is almost over.*

**[08:35] Kakihara**
Hey, Arrietty, are you listening?
**[08:39] Arie**
Huh? No, sorry. I wasn't.
**[08:42] Kakihara**
Again... Acting Section Chief Amakusa
won't accept chocolate from anyone.
**[08:48] Arie**
Huh? Wait, seriously?
**[08:49] Kakihara**
Yeah.
**[08:50] Kakihara**
Last year, one of the newer girls tried to
give him chocolate, and he wouldn't take it.
**[08:55] Kakihara**
This year, another girl tried
and the same thing happened,
**[08:59] Kakihara**
so this rumor's definitely true.
**[09:01] Arie**
I-I see...
**[09:03] Kakihara**
Surprising, right?
**[09:05] Kakihara**
I always figured he was
drowning in valentines.
**[09:10] Kakihara**
Maybe he doesn't like chocolate.
**[09:12] Arie**
Yeah, I'm not sure.
**[09:14] Arie**
*H-He won't take them?*
**[09:17] Arie**
*I've never heard this before!*
**[09:20] Kakihara**
Wait, Arrietty...
**[09:22] Kakihara**
Were you planning to give him chocolate?
**[09:25] Arie**
Huh?! N-No way!
**[09:29] Kakihara**
Yeah, of course not.
**[09:30] Arie**
* Maybe I'll just take this*
* chocolate back home with me...*
**[09:34] Kakihara**
So I went to this dessert
buffet the other day...
**[09:37] Arie**
*Nay!*
***SIGN*** Menacing
**[09:39] Arie**
*I made up my mind that I was gonna do this!*
**[09:42] Arie**
* It's fine if he lets me down!*
* I'm giving it to him!*
**[09:42] Kakihara**
That place was amazing!
**[09:44] Kakihara**
Especially the peach mousse
I had. You *have* to try it.
**[09:44] Arie**
* I want Amakusa to know*
* that I at least tried!*
**[09:46] Kakihara**
The plates were fancy, too.
**[09:48] Kakihara**
So colorful and pretty.
**[09:48] Arie**
* Wait. Maybe he'll accept something*
* that's not chocolate.*
**[09:50] Kakihara**
Let's go together sometime!
Nothing beats enjoying sweets.
**[09:53] Arie**
*Maybe I still have time to go buy something!*
**[09:55] Kakihara**
Crap! Look at the time!
**[09:58] Arie**
Huh?
**[09:59] Kakihara**
Arrietty, we have to hurry back!
**[10:01] Arie**
No way! I have a meeting!
**[10:03] Kakihara**
Come on! Hurry!
**[10:10] Arie**
*I never got to give it to him...*
**[10:13] Arie**
*On top of all the meetings,*
**[10:14] Arie**
* I had a bunch of routine*
* work to get done today, too.*
**[10:19] Arie**
* I totally lost sight of Amakusa*
* while I was doing overtime.*
**[10:24] Arie**
* Looks like I got all worked up*
* for nothing this Valentine's.*
**[10:31] Arie**
*That height and figure...*
**[10:34] Arie**
*Is that... Amakusa?!*
**[10:36] Arie**
*W-Wait a sec!*
**[10:40] Arie**
*Oh, no! He's going!*
**[10:42] Arie**
Amakusa!
**[10:50] Arie**
*Of all the times... Seriously?*
**[10:52] Arie**
*I'm so stupid!*
**[10:54] Ryo**
Matsushima?
**[10:56] Ryo**
What's up? Everything okay?
**[11:00] Ryo**
I'll head over there.
**[11:02] Arie**
Wait!
**[11:04] Arie**
C-Come this way.
**[11:07] Arie**
It'll just take a sec!
**[11:14] Arie**
Here. Valentine's Day chocolate.
**[11:17] Arie**
I really wanted to give it to you.
**[11:19] Arie**
I-I heard you don't accept chocolate,
**[11:22] Arie**
so I thought about trying to
get you something else, but...
**[11:25] Arie**
Sorry! I just didn't have any time!
**[11:28] Arie**
So I wanted to give this to you,
even if you rejected it...
**[11:32] Arie**
But I just couldn't get to you at all today.
**[11:35] Arie**
And then this... Ugh! I can't
keep my thoughts straight!
**[11:44] Ryo**
Thanks for running over to give me these.
**[11:52] Announcement**
* The train bound for Shibuya and Shinjuku*
* will be arriving soon on track 2.*
**[11:55] Announcement**
* For your safety, please stand*
* behind the yellow line.*
**[12:09] (Flashback) Kai**
I want you to go out with me.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Kai**
Then could you start?
**[12:14] (Flashback) Kai**
Think it over, okay?
**[12:19] Ichika**
What should I do?
***SIGN*** Koikimo
***SIGN*** I got tons of

**[12:39] Rio**
Sorry to interrupt your club work.
**[12:41] Rio**
My name's Amakusa.
**[12:45] Rio**
I'd like to talk to Tamaru
for a little while. You mind?
**[12:49] President**
Um...
**[12:51] President**
Well, you heard her, Tamaru-kun...
**[12:53] Kai**
May I be excused for a bit, President?
**[12:55] President**
Y-Yeah.
**[13:07] Girl member B**
There's definitely something going on there!
**[13:09] Guy member**
Something is afoot.
**[13:11] Girl member A**
Is she asking him out?
**[13:12] President**
Maybe they're fighting.
***SIGN*** Literature Club

**[13:28] Rio**
Why don't you sit?
**[13:29] Kai**
Nah, I'm good.
**[13:31] Kai**
I'll stand.
**[13:32] Rio**
Fine.
**[13:39] Rio**
Ichika's been acting weird ever
since lunch on Valentine's Day.
**[13:45] Rio**
When I ask her if anything happened,
she just brushes it off and won't tell me.
**[13:51] Rio**
I figured you might know something.
**[13:55] Kai**
I guess you could say that.
**[13:58] Kai**
I'm actually probably the reason.
**[14:00] Kai**
Because I asked Arima out.
**[14:04] Rio**
I knew it.
**[14:05] Kai**
I mean...
**[14:06] Kai**
You called me out here because
you figured that's what it was.
**[14:09] Rio**
Yeah.
**[14:12] Rio**
Huh...
**[14:14] Rio**
You even said that wasn't
how you felt before.
**[14:18] Kai**
I wasn't sure how I felt back then!
**[14:21] Kai**
But now...
**[14:28] Kai**
I know how I feel.
**[14:32] Kai**
That's why I asked her out.
**[14:35] Rio**
I see.
**[14:39] Kai**
Hey, Amakusa.
**[14:41] Kai**
Did you ask me this because
you're worried about Arima?
**[14:45] Rio**
Yeah, why?
**[14:47] Rio**
What are you getting at?
**[14:49] Kai**
Then I'll just be honest here.
From my perspective,
**[14:53] Kai**
you're a busybody, Amakusa.
**[14:56] Rio**
What? I was just worried because
Ichika was acting weird.
**[15:02] Rio**
She usually tells me everything,
but this time...
**[15:05] Kai**
Amakusa...
**[15:08] Kai**
Maybe you're lonely.
**[15:26] Kai**
Me asking Amakusa out has
nothing to do with you.
**[15:31] Rio**
It doesn't...
**[15:34] Rio**
does it?
**[15:38] Rio**
Yeah... You're right.
**[15:43] Rio**
Whatever Ichika decides to do is up to her,
**[15:46] Rio**
so it technically doesn't concern me.
**[15:50] Kai**
Maybe you should just be there for her
when Arima actually asks for help.
**[15:56] Rio**
You're surprisingly blunt, Tamaru.
**[16:00] Kai**
Not as blunt as you.
**[16:03] Rio**
Then I guess you're going to end
up being my brother's rival.
**[16:06] Kai**
Yeah.
**[16:09] Sign**
Green
Tea
**[16:16] Rio**
Oh? You really think you're up to the task?
**[16:21] Kai**
Stop it. I can feel my confidence draining.
**[16:32] Ryo**
*Ichika-san?*
**[16:34] Ichika**
Oh, sorry. Um...
**[16:37] Ryo**
We were talking about the gym
class you mentioned yesterday.
**[16:41] Ryo**
You were playing basketball today, right?
**[16:43] Ichika**
* Oh, yeah. Rio and I ended up*
* on different teams today.*
**[16:47] Ichika**
*I could barely keep up...*
**[16:52] Ichika**
Well... Goodnight.
**[17:03] Ichika**
* Tamaru-kun is nice, cool,*
* and probably a good person.*
**[17:09] Ichika**
* And we'd be able to talk about the*
* things we like and even trivial things.*
**[17:14] Ichika**
*Of course, I don't dislike him.*
**[17:17] Ichika**
*Honestly, I'm happy he asked me out.*
**[17:22] Ichika**
*But... I don't think I like him that way.*
**[17:28] Ichika**
*Is it because I see him as a friend?*
**[17:35] Ichika**
*Or... is the person I like...*
**[17:45] Ichika**
Are you stalking me again?
**[17:47] Ryo**
You haven't sounded like yourself
on the phone these past few days...
**[17:51] Ryo**
I was worried, so I came to check on you.
**[17:53] Ichika**
Okay, but could you not wait
for me near the school?
**[17:57] Ryo**
Sorry, I was so worried,
I couldn't help myself.
**[18:02] Ryo**
Is something bothering you?
**[18:05] Ryo**
I'd be more than happy to listen.
**[18:07] Ichika**
*Listen, huh?*
**[18:09] Ichika**
* I wonder if Ryo-san's ever been asked out*
* by someone he considered a friend.*
**[18:17] Ichika**
*No... I'd rather not know.*
**[18:21] Ichika**
No, I'm fine.
**[18:23] Ichika**
I appreciate the concern.
**[18:26] Ryo**
Well, it's usually easier to process
anything bothering you if you verbalize it.
**[18:31] Ryo**
And it might be something
I can help you with.
**[18:35] Ichika**
Really, I'm fine.
**[18:37] Ryo**
But—
**[18:38] Ichika**
Ryo-san!
**[18:40] Ichika**
Could you just stop?!
**[18:42] Ichika**
Yes, I have something on my mind,
**[18:44] Ichika**
but can't you take the hint
that I don't want to tell you?
**[18:47] Ichika**
You're always like this!
**[18:49] Sign**
Residential vehicles
are exempt
**[18:50] Ichika**
You always ignore how I feel,
and it's always one-sided...
**[18:54] Ichika**
And...
**[18:56] Ichika**
This is my problem,
so it doesn't concern you.
**[19:02] Ryo**
And I can't accept that.
**[19:04] Ichika**
This is what I meant about
everything being one-sided!
**[19:08] Ryo**
It's true that I don't often
listen to what you have to say,
**[19:14] Ryo**
but at least let me worry about you!
**[19:17] Ryo**
No, that's just a front.
**[19:20] Ryo**
I want your problems to be mine, Ichika-san.
**[19:27] Ichika**
Why... are you so unreasonable?
**[19:31] Ryo**
Because I love you, Ichika-san.
**[19:40] Ichika**
You're like some pushy
door-to-door salesman.
**[19:43] Ryo**
That's quite the analogy.
**[19:48] Ichika**
Sorry, I was a bit harsh.
**[19:50] Ryo**
And I sounded a bit harsh myself.
**[19:54] Ryo**
But I hope you understand that
**[19:57] Ryo**
I'm not lying or joking.
**[20:00] Ichika**
This is a problem that I need
to figure out on my own,
**[20:05] Ichika**
so could you just watch and wait?
**[20:14] Ryo**
Okay.
**[20:26] Ichika**
Um... Could you move your hand already?
**[20:31] Ryo**
I can't. Love's pull is just too powerful!
**[20:42] Ichika**
* The reason I can't move*
* forward with Tamaru-kun...*
**[20:46] Ichika**
*really is because of him.*
**[20:52] Ichika**
* He's so one-sided, selfish,*
* and annoyingly flashy.*
**[20:57] Ichika**
* He's illogical, and he doesn't*
* care much about others.*
**[21:00] Ichika**
*He's always extra in everything he does...*
**[21:04] Ichika**
* And he tries to justify*
* everything with "love."*
**[21:09] Ichika**
*We're so far apart in age...*
**[21:13] Ichika**
*And he's a bad adult...*
**[21:15] Ichika**
*I think all of this is true...*
**[21:19] Ichika**
* but whenever I think of the word*
* "love," I end up thinking of him.*
**[21:25] Ryo**
Is something the matter? You've stopped.
**[21:28] Ichika**
It's nothing.
**[21:32] Ichika**
*I can't fall for him, though.*
**[21:34] Ichika**
* Logically, I know that Tamaru-kun*
* would be better for me.*
**[21:39] Ichika**
*Ugh, I'm such an idiot.*
**[21:42] Ichika**
*Seriously.*
**[21:46] Ichika**
* Still, it'd be really rude of me*
* to leave Tamaru-kun hanging,*
**[21:51] Ichika**
*so I need to tell him how I feel,*
**[21:55] Ichika**
* since he told me how he felt so*
* earnestly while looking into my eyes.*
