    Can I talk to you?
[00:21] Tou
    Naruse-san?
[00:24] Hime
    I guess if you look at it like this,
[00:29] Hime
    I've made a lot.
[00:33] (Flashback) Arai
    You're going to make something really
    wonderful and put it up in the café, right?
[00:41] Hime
    None of these feel like they're "it."
[00:44] Hime
    None feels right.
[00:49] Hime
    Huh?

    There are a bunch of things I wanted to talk about.
    Do you mind if I come to the café tomorrow?
[01:04] Hime
    That... is... fine! Send.

[02:50] Hime
    Touko-senpai!
[02:53] Hime
    Senpai!
[02:56] Tou
    You didn't have to run.
[02:59] Hime
    But you said... there was something... you wanted
    me to eat... before we go to the café.
[03:04] Hime
    Wait, is it in that bag?
[03:07] Tou
    Oh, no. We're here for
    limited-time sweets from that shop.
[03:11] Tou
    Sorry I couldn't talk to you
    properly yesterday.
[03:15] Hine
    Oh, not at all!
[03:16] Hine
    I was able to pick up a
    lot of valuable things.
[03:19] Hine
    But how come you have that big bag with you?
[03:23] Tou
    So you're curious?
[03:24] Hine
    I'm super curious!
[03:27] Tou
    I thought so.
[03:29] Hine
    So what is it?
[03:39] Hine
    Wow! That's so... how should I put it...
[03:42] Hine
    It's bold! It really catches your eye.
[03:45] Tou
    Right?
[03:47] Hine
    It looks really expensive.
[03:49] Tou
    It wasn't that expensive, but it's a piece
    that I've been looking at for a long time.
[03:54] Tou
    I spent all my saved up
    New Year's money to buy this.
[03:59] Tou
    When I sent Mika-chan a photo of it
    last night, she called me right away.
[04:02] Tou
    She was so surprised.
[04:04] Hime
    I can see why!
[04:07] Tou
    When I put it up in my
    room, I got all excited.
[04:10] Tou
    It's know it's a bit silly, but it
    made me feel kind of invincible!
[04:14] Hime
    I can understand why.
[04:17] Hime
    Wow, this gets me excited too!
[04:21] Tou
    Right?
[04:22] Hime
    I'm not even sure how to start eating this.
[04:27] Hime
    It's so good!
[04:28] Tou
    I've told you before, but you
    know my grandpa is a potter.
[04:34] Tou
    My father has started selling his works,
[04:36] Tou
    and my mother's family have worked
     as potters for generations as well.
[04:39] Hime
    You've really grew up surrounded by pottery.
[04:42] Tou
    I have.
[04:44] Tou
    That's why I naturally came to love pottery.
[04:51] Tou
    I made a lot and got a lot of praise,
    which made me love it even more.
[05:00] Tou
    But I wonder when it happened...
[05:03] Tou
    When pottery became
    something I had to do properly...
[05:09] Tou
    Everybody around me expected it,
[05:11] Tou
    and I convinced myself that
    I should be able to do it as well.
[05:16] Tou
    Once I got into middle school,
    I always got a fever before contests.
[05:21] Hime
    You did?
[05:23] Tou
    My grandpa was just too great,
[05:25] Tou
    and I didn't realize how much
    pressure that put on me.
[05:30] Hime
    Pressure, huh?
[05:33] Tou
    I was just doing it to feel like
    a person worthy of my grandpa,
[05:37] Tou
    then they made me the president of the
    student council in middle school.
[05:40] Tou
    In turn, that amplified my feelings
[05:43] Tou
    that everyone was expecting me
    to do something amazing.
[05:48] Hime
    We're back!
[05:55] Tou
    But then, in the second
    year of middle school,
[05:57] Tou
    I had the urge to use red, a color
    my grandfather hardly ever used.
[06:01] Tou
    When I proudly went to show
    him my first piece...
[06:06] (Flashback) Grand
    I'm sorry, I'm really busy now,
[06:08] (Flashback) Grand
    so please don't come to
    the workshop anymore.
[06:12] Tou
    That made me think, "Oh, I guess
    I have to make things his way..."
[06:17] Hime
    Oh, no...
[06:21] Tou
    But that's not what it was.
[06:26] Tou
    Yesterday, after you left,
[06:28] Tou
    my grandfather asked me to go
    with him to the Eihouji Temple.
[06:42] Tou
    For about two hours, we only walked.
[06:47] Tou
    When I tried to talk to him,
    all he'd say back was "yeah" or "uh-huh."
[06:52] Tou
    But then, while I was in awe of the fall leaves
    in the middle of the Musai Bridge...
[07:01] (Flashback) Tou
    They're so beautiful.
[07:03] (Flashback) Grand
    Yeah.
[07:12] (Flashback) Grand
    The blue of summer is good,
    but the bright red of fall is good, too.
[07:17] (Flashback) Tou
    Yes.
[07:19] (Flashback) Grand
    I guess you don't get it.
[07:21] (Flashback) Tou
    Huh?
[07:24] (Flashback) Grand
    Of course you wouldn't.
[07:27] (Flashback) Grand
    Since I was embarrassed, I asked
    your teacher to not tell you,
[07:31] (Flashback) Grand
    but I saw your new plate.
[07:36] (Flashback) Tou
    What?
[07:38] (Flashback) Grand
    I'm sorry I always kept you at arm's length.
[07:42] (Flashback) Grand
    Kouzou and Nanako both understand
    how hard this profession can be.
[07:46] (Flashback) Grand
    They were probably worried about you.
[07:50] (Flashback) Grand
    They asked me to not give
    too much attention to you.
[07:53] (Flashback) Tou
    My mom and dad said to do that?
[07:56] (Flashback) Grand
    Since I'm not so good at this,
[07:59] (Flashback) Grand
    I couldn't help but fawn over you
    when you came to the workshop.
[08:04] (Flashback) Grand
    Since you were at that age,
[08:07] (Flashback) Grand
    they told me you'd lose interest
    if we left you alone.
[08:16] (Flashback) Grand
    I was so happy to see you continue.
[08:23] (Flashback) Grand
    That red sure is beautiful.
[08:27] (Flashback) Grand
    Those gold brush strokes are wonderful, too.
[08:31] (Flashback) Tou
    You mean my big plate?
[08:33] (Flashback) Grand
    It was the first thing you've
    made that made me truly jealous.
[08:41] (Flashback) Grand
    Do you understand?
[08:44] (Flashback) Tou
    Yes!
[08:46] (Flashback) Grand
    Don't worry about what I like.
[08:49] (Flashback) Grand
    Just make the things you want
    to make, the way you like.
[08:54] (Flashback) Grand
    I am me, and you are you.
[09:05] (Flashback) Tou
    Grandpa...
[09:10] (Flashback) Tou
    Thank you!
[09:16] Hime
    Why...
[09:17] Hime
    I don't know why...
[09:20] Hime
    I'm sorry, I don't know why...
[09:25] Tou
    Because you're in the
    same boat, Toyokawa-san.
[09:30] Tou
    Your mother, Tokikawa Himena, is a legend.
[09:32] Tou
    Aren't you feeling that pressure?
[09:37] Tou
    That's the shelf where
     your best piece will go, right?
[09:43] Hime
    Why?
[09:45] Tou
    Last night, Naruse-san sent me a message.
[09:47] Hime
    Nao-chan did?
[09:49] Tou
    She said that she thinks you're
    too preoccupied with that shelf.
[09:55] Tou
    Your mother would say the
    same thing, I think.
[09:57] Tou
    She'd tell you to not worry so much
     and to just make what you like.
[10:04] Hime
    Mom, if you were still alive,
     what would you say?
[10:11] Hime
    I'm just going to give it my best!
[10:13] Hime
    But don't laugh if it ends up
     being kinda weird!
[10:17] Dad
    I wonder if my careless idea
    ended up hurting Himeno.
[10:24] Grand
    I think it'll be fine.
[10:26] Grand
    That girl probably understands.
[10:28] Grand
    That spot is not for comparing,
[10:31] Grand
    it's for having them side by side.

    Uh, despite your very busy schedule,
[10:39] Nao
    thank you for... No, that's not it.
[10:43] Nao
    Aoki-senpai, thank you for all that
    you've done for our Himeno...
[10:47] Nao
    No, that's not it, either.
[10:50] Nao
    Aw heck, I'll just jump in!
[10:58] Tou
    Hello?
[10:59] Nao
    May I please speak to Aoki-senpai?
[11:02] Tou
    What's going on, Naruse-san?
[11:03] Nao
    I, well, I just got a thank-you
     message from Hime-chan.
[11:08] Nao
    It seems her head is clear now,
[11:10] Nao
    so I really wanted to thank you for that!
[11:12] Tou
    I'm glad to hear that.
[11:14] Tou
    You didn't have to call for that, though.
[11:16] Nao
    No, this time, I wanted to do it right.
[11:19] Nao
    Thank you so much!
[11:21] Nao
    Then, I will be.. Yes. Yes.
[11:23] Nao
    Excuse me.
[11:37] Nao
    I'm so tired.

    Hime-chan, you're here too early!
[12:08] Nao
    Oh, nice!
[12:10] Nao
    Can I take a video?
[12:12] Hime
    Eh? I guess.
[12:18] Mika
    I liked Hime-chan's expression.
[12:20] Tou
    Me, too.
[12:23] Mike
    Yours, too.

    Thank you!
[12:40] Hime
    Huh? For what?
[12:43] Mika
    I wonder.
[12:44] Hime
    What?
[12:46] MIka
    I won't tell you!
[12:47] Hime
    Hey, come on!
[12:49] Mika
    Never.
