    make some friends instead.
[02:43] him

[04:30] him
    It's all right.
[04:32] him
    Anyway, since we had nowhere to go,
[04:34] him
    we left Tokyo to move
     to my mother's hometown!
[04:37] mam
    I heard that your father
    quit being a salaryman
[04:40] mam

[05:06] mik
    That color usage... all of them are unique!
[05:08] mik

SIGN    Tokishirou

    Let's take it slow then.
[05:46] nao
    Oh, so this is what you
    meant by "be with me"?
[05:49] mik
    Yes! This is the club room
    for the pottery club!
[05:52] him
    How is it this fancy?!
[05:53] mik
    The inside is impressive, too!
[05:55] him
    It's not your first time here?
[05:57] mik
    I've actually been here
    many times since last year!
[06:00] mik
    The reason is that Touko-senpai is here!
[06:03] him
    Touko-senpai?
[06:05] mik
    Touko-senpai, we're here!
[06:08] him
    Excuse me.
[06:11] mik
    I brought an amazing girl!
[06:14] mik
    She has a ton of super rare mugs!
[06:16] mik
    Apparently, her dad's company
    went under so he started a café!
[06:23] him
    This smell...
[06:24] mik
    I bet she is a Tokigawa Himena fan!
[06:30] tou
    Mika-chan, I always tell you.
[06:33] tou
    Please be quiet when I'm throwing
    or you'll break my concentration.
[06:37] mik
    But...
[06:39] him
    Um, what is this smell?
[06:46] him
    It brings back memories for some reason.
[06:50] tou
    You know the smell of clay?
[06:52] him
    No... At least, I don't
    think I should know it.
[06:55] mik
    See, I knew you were interested.
[06:57] mik
    Show Touko-senpai those mugs, too!
[07:00] tou
    Mugs?
[07:03] tou
    There's no doubt.
[07:07] tou
    They're all by Tokigawa Himena.
[07:09] tou
    How did you get these?
[07:11] him
    Huh? Oh, that's my mother.
[07:15] mik
    But you're a Toyokawa, not a Tokigawa!
SIGN    Muscle
[07:19] him
    T-Tokigawa is my mother's maiden name.
[07:23] mik

    This!
SIGN    Tokigawa Himena
SIGN    The world reflected in a cup
[07:29] mik
    In our world, she's super famous.
    I mean, she's Tokigawa Himena!
[07:32] mik
    Every girl in pottery looks up to her!
[07:35] him
    Really?!
[07:36] miK
    What is she doing now? How come
    she stopped making things?
[07:39] miK
    Can I come to your house?
[07:40] him
    Sure, but my mother's not there.
[07:42] mik
    Oh, why not?!
[07:44] him
    She died when I was four.
[07:52] him
    Oh, you don't have to worry about it.
[07:58] him
    I barely remember her.
[08:05] tok
    Is it raining?
[08:07] sac
    A real spring rain.
[08:11] sac
    She used to say that she liked the
    smell of the clay this time of year.
[08:18] tok
    She certainly did.
[08:21] tou
    This is your mother's work.
[08:23] him
    We have a very similar one at home.
[08:26] tou
    Apparently that was her seat.
SIGN    Want to try?
[08:48] him
    I want to try.
[08:55] tou
    What should we make?
[08:57] him
    Something easy like a bowl?
[09:00] tou
    Got it.
[09:01] tou
    Start by wetting your hands.
[09:06] tou
    Support the clay with both of
    your hands, like you're wrapping it.
[09:09] him
    Okay.
[09:14] him
    It's cold.
[09:16] him
    But I like the slippery feel.
[09:20] tou
    Now we'll push down with our thumbs.
[09:25] tou
    Like this.
[09:27] him
    It's harder than I thought.
[09:30] tou
    Next, let's widen it to the size we want.
[09:33] tou
    Let's put a touch of strength
    into our middle fingers
[09:37] tou
    and pull it up.
[09:41] tou
    I think that will do.
[09:43] tou
    Now try to push it out with your right hand.
[09:47] him
    I'm nervous.
[09:50] tou
    Yes, that's it!
[09:51] tou
    Now gently let go.
[10:00] tou
    Nice.
[10:01] tou
    That was quite good for your first attempt.
[10:02] him
    Really?
[10:05] him
    I'll fix the part that's a bit crooked.
[10:08] tou
    I wouldn't do that.
[10:16] mik
    It was looking so good.
[10:18] nao
    Too bad.
[10:19] mik
    I guess talent isn't genetic.
[10:24] tou
    That's fine.
[10:26] tou
    It wouldn't be any fun if you could
    do it perfectly from the start.
[10:30] mik
    Will you come again?! You should come!
[10:32] mik
    Please come!
SIGN    Tokishiro
[10:36] him
    But the café...
[10:42] nao
    Hey! You should join the pottery club.
[10:46] nao
    You seemed to enjoy yourself.
[11:02] tok
    How was school?
[11:04] him
    It was fun. I advertised our café, too!
[11:07] tok
    Great!
[11:08] him
    And I made a weird friend.
[11:10] sac
    What do you mean by weird?
[11:14] him
    How did the café do?
[11:16] tok
    So so, I guess.
[11:22] him
    Anyway...
[11:24] him
    Would it be okay if I joined a club?
[11:28] him
    Of course. I'll help out with
    the café as much as I can.
[11:31] tok
    Oh, you found something good?
[11:33] tok
    Of course it's fine.
[11:34] tok
    You have to do things you like.
[11:36] him
    Yay!
[11:37] him
    Then I'll join tomorrow on a trial basis!
[11:39] sac
    What club is it?
[11:41] him
    The pottery club!
[11:42] him
    I guess Mom was amazing!
[11:44] him
    They taught me quite a lot already!
[11:57] him
    Dad?
[12:13] him
    What's wrong?
[12:15] tok
    Nothing, I'll be right there.
[12:22] tok
    I always thought this day might come.
[12:28] tok
    Even if she gets completely absorbed into it,
[12:31] tok
    I'll make sure to watch over
     her properly this time.
[12:33] tok
    I won't let her get sick.
[12:39] him
    I don't like that Dad's not happy for me...
[12:44] tok
    Sorry for the wait.
[12:50] tok
    Sakura tea is for celebrating departure,
[12:54] tok
    with a wish that something
     new may blossom.
[12:56] him
