SIGN    The Dancing Girl
[01:51] Ougai
    You won't let me keep writing?
[01:55] Ougai
    Do you still resent me?
[02:14] Ougai
    Elise...
[02:17] Ougai
    If you refuse to let me write...
[02:22] Ougai
    Then so be it.
[02:25] Ougai
    The moon will be full soon,
[02:28] Ougai
    and she will disappear from me
[02:36] Ougai
    just as quickly as she appeared
[02:39] Ougai
    on the night of the last full moon.
[02:45] Ougai
    I am out of time.
[02:47] Ougai
    I have run out of time.

[03:02] Mei
    Meow, meow, mreow-mreow-mreow?
[03:05] Mei
    Meow, meow?
[03:07] Syunso
    What are you doing?
[03:08] Mei
    I'm asking if he knows a black cat.
[03:11] Mei
    See, he looks just like Pork Loin
    from Fujita-san's house.
[03:14] Mei
    Meow?
[03:16] Syunso
    Can he even understand you?
[03:18] Mei
    He can! He can understand
    my feelings, at least.
[03:25] Mei
    He can understand my feelings.
[03:30] (Flashback) Charlie
    If that's what you really want to do,
    then you should stay.
[03:35] Mei
    Yes. I will keep waiting for you, Ougai-san.
[03:46] Ougai
    Little Squirrel.
[03:50] Ougai
    Would you like to go indulge
    in some sweets with me?
[03:54] Ougai
    You too, of course, Syunso.
[03:57] Mei
    Yes! Gladly!
[04:03] Ougai
    Why didn't Syunso join us, I wonder?
[04:05] Mei
    Well, he mentioned something about
     his stomach suddenly hurting.
[04:11] Ougai
    All right, then.
[04:17] (Flashback) Mei
    We'll be going now, Syunso-san!
[04:21] Syunso
    You seem so happy and full of smiles
[04:24] Syunso
    whenever Ougai-san is around...
[04:36] Daichi
    So, Tatsuno-san, why does Tokyo Station
    use header bond brickwork?
[04:40] Tatsuno
    Tokyo Station? Are you referring
    to the Tokyo Railway Station?
[04:44] Tatsuno
    I am still working on the design for it,
[04:47] Tatsuno
    but what did you just say
    about header bond brickwork?
[04:49] Daichi
    I was just thinking that erecting such a large
    building with header bond brickwork would be unusual.
[04:52] Tatsuno
    Wait, that's actually a good idea.
[04:53] Mei
    Thank you for the food!
[04:54] Tatsuno
    So does the header bond with facing bricks?
[04:57] Mei
    It's absolutely scrumptious!
[05:01] Ougai
    You really seem to be enjoying it.
[05:04] Ougai
    Getting to see how much you
    enjoy it is enough for me.
[05:09] Mei
    No way, that's silly.
[05:11] Mei
    So, Ougai-san, how goes the
    progress on your novel?
[05:17] Mei
    Maybe I shouldn't have asked about it?
[05:20] Mei
    Y-You know,
[05:21] Mei
    Yakumo-san calls Fujita-san's
    place Café Fujita.
[05:26] Mei
    He has a dish there called the Goro Special,
    and it looks really good.
[05:30] Ougai
    Indeed, your expression of
    delight is truly delicious.
[05:37] Mei
    I-I probably shouldn't ask
    him about his novel.
[05:42] Mei
    I wonder if Otojiro-san will end up
[05:44] Mei
    playing the role of Shirayuki in
    that play Kyoka-san wrote?
[05:48] Mei
    I'm really glad he was able to
    finish writing it so soon.
[05:53] Mei
    Oh, I-I'm so sorry! I-I wasn't thinking...
[05:57] Mei
    You finally have a chance
    to relax. I'm sorry.
[06:04] Ougai
    Would you like to order some red
    bean soup as well, Little Squirrel?
[06:07] Mei
    I-Is that all right?
[06:08] Ougai
    Of course.
[06:18] Mei
    It's so sweet! I'm so happy!
[06:28] Ougai
    I... am thinking about quitting writing.
[06:36] Mei
    Huh?
[06:38] ---
    Y...
[06:41] Mei
    You mean as a profession?
[06:48] Ougai
    I can't write.
[06:52] Ougai
    Besides...
[06:56] Ougai
    You are right here with me now,
[07:01] Ougai
    and I think that is more than enough.
[07:09] Mei
    I'm glad to hear that, but...
[07:19] Ougai
    I thought you would be more pleased.
[07:27] Tatsuno
    I'll try doing the framework
    in the British style.
[07:29] Daichi
    British style? That sounds like chaos!
[07:31] Mei
    But I would like to read it.
[07:34] Mei
    I would like to read your novel, Ougai-san.
[07:36] Mei
    So...
[07:46] Ougai
    I can't write it.
[08:08] Mei
    I know...
[08:13] Mei
    ...that it's probably rather
    impertinent for me to say this,
[08:17] Mei
    since I can't do anything and
    I don't know anything...
[08:23] Mei
    But I want you to keep writing
    your novel, Ougai-san.
[08:32] Mei
    Quitting in the middle just
    doesn't seem like you...
[08:58] Syunso
    Hey...
[09:00] Mei
    Syunso-san?
[09:01] Syunso
    Got a minute?
[09:37] Syunso
    The story Ougai-san
    is trying to write...
[09:41] Syunso
    It's...
[09:44] Syunso
    about him and his former lover.
[09:50] Syunso
    Ougai-san is trying to write
    a novel about the lover
[09:55] Syunso
    he met while studying abroad.
[10:00] Syunso
    They met in Germany and fell in love.
[10:05] Syunso
    They considered spending
    the rest of their lives together.
[10:09] Syunso
    But...
[10:10] Syunso
    Since Ougai-san had studied abroad
    for the sake of his country,
[10:14] Syunso
    those around him were
    against him marrying her.
[10:18] Syunso
    He was only permitted to live as
    a public figure, not as an individual.
[10:26] Syunso
    And so Ougai-san decided
    to break it off with her.
[10:35] Ougai
    Elise...
[10:39] Syunso
    I believe he regrets that, even now.
[10:46] Ougai
    Elise... I know.
[10:51] Ougai
    I know you will not let me write.
[10:56] Ougai
    I assure you...
[10:58] Ougai
    I have quit writing altogether.
[11:02] Ougai
    So please...
[11:04] Ougai
    Stop appearing to me!
[11:11] Ougai
    Elise...
[11:15] Syunso
    That story traces the path of
    why his heart was closed off.
[11:22] Syunso
    That's why he can't write it.
[11:26] Mei
    Why is he trying to write
    such a painful story?
[11:33] Syunso
    For you.
[11:36] Syunso
    Ougai-san is currently
    trying to face his past.
[11:43] Syunso
    He is doing it for you,
    because you're here now.
[11:50] Mei
    He's putting himself through
    all that suffering... for me?
[12:52] Mei
    Ougai-san...?
SIGN    The Dancing Girl
[13:20] Syunso
    Hey!
[13:29] Fumi
    Oh, Mei-san.
[13:30] Mei
    Fumi-san!
[13:33] Fumi
    I saw Ougai-san just now.
[13:36] Fumi
    We passed one another over there,
    but when I tried to call out to him,
[13:39] Fumi
    it was like he couldn't hear.
    He was completely out of it.
[13:44] Mei
    Thank you so much, Fumi-san!
[14:01] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[14:03] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[14:07] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[14:12] Not Ougai
    Can I help you?
[14:14] Mei
    Oh, pardon me!
[14:15] Not Ougai
    Well now, you're quite the looker.
[14:17] Mei
    I was mistaken!
[14:31] Syunso
    What are you doing?
[14:33] Mei
    I might have driven Ougai-san away.
[14:39] Mei
    All because I didn't know anything!
[14:42] Syunso
    Even if that's true, Ougai-san
    is not such a weak person.
[14:46] Mei
    Y-You may be right.
[14:50] Mei
    But still...
[14:51] Mei
    I can't just do nothing while
    Ougai-san is suffering.
[14:58] Syunso
    I can't stand to see you like this!
[15:13] Mei
    Thank you, Syunso-san.
[15:20] Mei
    I am fine now.
[15:30] Mei
    I'm fine. I'm fine.
[15:46] Syunso
    Mei!
[16:16] Ougai
    You are...
[16:21] Ougai
    an illusion that I've created.
[16:24] Ougai
    You are the very weakness of my heart.
[16:28] Ougai
    I knew that from the beginning.
[16:33] Ougai
    I thought you would disappear
    if I stopped writing, though.
[16:40] Ougai
    Elise...
[16:42] Ougai
    I never imagined...
[16:50] Ougai
    that facing you would
    bring me this much pain.
[16:55] Ougai
    I give up, Elise. I won't write anymore.
[17:01] Ougai
    No...
[17:07] Ougai
    I can't write.
[17:11] Ougai
    I never thought that I was so pathetic
[17:14] Ougai
    that I wouldn't be able to
    face either my past or my present.
[17:27] Ougai
    Elise...
[17:30] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[17:34] Mei
    Thank goodness.
[17:36] Mei
    I finally found you!
[17:45] Ougai
    Please don't look at me while I'm like this.
[17:51] Mei
    I love you even when
    you're upset, Ougai-san.
[17:58] Mei
    I truly do.
[18:03] Mei
    I will read it.
[18:05] Mei
    No matter what the story is,
     or how sad it may be.
[18:12] Ougai
    No, I can't...
[18:15] Mei
    You can write it!
[18:17] Mei
    I am positive that you can write it.
[18:22] Mei
    It is the story that you struggled
    so hard and suffered for.
[18:26] Mei
    I am absolutely certain that
    it will be a wonderful story.
[18:39] Mei
    And if... And if you absolutely...
[18:45] Mei
    Absolutely cannot do it, Ougai-san,
[18:49] Mei
    you can just
[18:52] Mei
    escape from it with me.
[18:57] Mei
    We'll go somewhere nice, like a hot spring.
[19:09] Ougai
    Mei...
[19:10] Mei
    Yes?
[19:12] Ougai
    Stay with me forever, Mei.
[19:17] Ougai
    Stay by my side forever.
[19:23] Mei
    Yes, I will.
[19:26] Mei
    I will always be by your side.
[19:39] Syunso
    Mei, you are incredibly strong.
[19:59] Mei
    This fell on the study floor.
[20:23] Ougai
    Elise...
[21:17] Mei
    You finished writing it!
[21:20] Ougai
    I did.
[21:24] Ougai
    And it is entirely thanks to you, Mei.
[21:29] Ougai
    Thank you.
[21:31] Mei
    I didn't really do anything,
[21:34] Mei
    but it makes me glad to hear you say that.
[21:36] Mei
    I'm looking forward to reading it.
[21:39] Ougai
    No, you don't get to read it, Little Squirrel.
[21:41] Mei
    What? Why not?
[21:49] (Flashback) Mei
    I am going to find the black cat.
[21:52] (Flashback) Mei
    I want to see your finished painting!
[21:57] Syunso
    I'm sure I can paint it now.
[22:21] Syunso
    My eyes...!

[23:32] Mei
    If having the surgery means
    you can get better, I...
[23:35] Syunso
    There's no guarantee I'll get
    better if I have the surgery.
