*He's acting...*
**[00:10] Haru**
*kind of strange.*
**[00:12] Haru**
*Yes, definitely strange.*
**[00:15] Haru**
*I mean, usually, he's...*

*But today, he's...*
**[00:31] Haru**
*Hey, are you okay?*
**[00:34] Haru**
*Did you eat your food?*
**[00:38] Haru**
*Where are you going? You'll fall over again!*
**[00:41] Haru**
*Hey!*
**[00:44] Subaru**
I left extra food out for you.
**[00:47] Subaru**
I don't have any time
left to spend with you.
**[01:00] Haru**
*What's your problem?!*
**[01:01] Haru**
*I'm not gonna worry about you anymore!*
**[01:06] Haru**
*Fine!*
**[01:08] Haru**
*At least I can have my nap in peace now!*
**[01:17] Haru**
*This is paradise.*
**[01:22] Taro**
*Hey!*
**[01:26] Haru**
*Wh-What's that?*
**[01:27] Taro**
*Hey, let's play!*
**[01:31] Haru**
*Are you serious? I want to take a nap.*
**[01:34] Taro**
*Come on, let's play.*
**[01:36] Taro**
*All my people are away today.*
**[01:39] Taro**
*I'm all alone here.*
**[01:41] Taro**
*I'm lonely. I hope they'll come home soon.*
**[01:46] Haru**
*Well, I'm alone, too.*
**[01:49] Haru**
*And what is "lonely," anyway?*
**[01:54] Taro**
*It's the man from the meat place!*
**[01:57] Guy**
Hey, Taro! How are ya, buddy?
**[02:00] Guy**
Good boy!
**[02:00] Taro**
*Hi, mister!*
**[02:02] Guy**
Good boy!
**[02:05] Haru**
*It's finally quiet.*

*That's my food!*
**[03:50] Haru**
*Eh? Huh? What?*
**[03:53] Haru**
*The food is gone?*
**[03:54] Haru**
*That's weird...*
**[04:00] Haru**
*Oh, yeah!*
**[04:02] Haru**
*That was so good!*
**[04:04] Haru**
*Wait, it's already gone?*
**[04:06] Haru**
*But I want more...*
**[04:09] Haru**
*Hey, give me more!*
**[04:12] Haru**
*I need food!*
**[04:13] Haru**
*Huh? He's not here...*
**[04:16] Haru**
*He still hasn't come back?*
**[04:19] Haru**
*Oh! I know!*
**[04:28] Haru**
*But he's always here...*
**[04:33] Haru**
*In here?*
**[04:43] Haru**
*The smell here relaxes me, and it's warm.*
**[04:47] Haru**
*But...*
**[04:48] Taro**
*I'm all alone here.*
**[04:50] Taro**
*I'm lonely.*
**[04:53] Haru**
*Is that what this feeling is?*
**[04:56] Haru**
*No, no!*
**[04:58] Haru**
*This is no big deal!*
**[05:00] Haru**
*I'm strong, after all!*
**[05:02] Haru**
*I can live on my own...*
**[05:04] Haru**
*Even now,*
**[05:06] Haru**
*I'm just worried about him!*
**[05:08] Haru**
*That's right!*
**[05:11] Haru**
*Besides, it's warm here.*
**[05:19] Haru**
*But if he were here,*
**[05:23] Haru**
*it'd be even warmer...*
**[05:30] Haru**
*That sound! He's home!*
**[05:33] Haru**
*Huh?*
**[05:38] Taro**
*Welcome home! Welcome home!*
**[05:40] Tanabe**
We're back, Taro!
**[05:41] Tanabe**
You've been a good boy,
looking after the house!
**[05:42] Taro**
*Welcome home!*
**[05:47] Haru**
*Why hasn't he come back?*
**[05:51] Haru**
*Why... isn't he here?*
**[05:55] Haru**
*Why?*
**[06:00] Haru**
*What the heck is going on?!*
**[06:07] Haru**
*Get back here right now!*

Well, despite that we announced
it on short notice,
**[06:43] Kawase**
there certainly are a lot of readers here.
**[06:46] Kawase**
Seeing such a big crowd here...
**[06:48] Kawase**
makes me happier than anything.
**[06:51] Kawase**
Right, Mikazuki-kun?
**[06:52] Kawase**
Huh?
**[06:54] Subaru**
No way... I can't do it...

Mikazuki-kun! Wh-What's the matter?
**[06:59] Subaru**
I-I wasn't in my right mind!
**[07:02] Subaru**
I agreed to do this without thinking,
**[07:04] Subaru**
but I was right all along!
I shouldn't have come here!
**[07:10] Kawase**
Mikazuki-kun, just relax.
**[07:11] Kawase**
Come on, sit down.
**[07:14] Kawase**
Here, your tie is crooked.
**[07:17] Subaru**
I'm going home...

When I first read your book, I was
dying to see what would happen next!
**[08:45] Fan**
I ended up reading all through the night!
**[08:49] Subaru**
S-Same here!
**[08:51] Fan**
Huh?
**[08:52] Subaru**
Er, no, I mean... um...
**[08:54] Kawase**
Ah, yes, that happens all the
time when you're reading!
**[08:57] Fan**
Oh, I get it!
**[08:59] Fan**
So you've gotten so absorbed in
books that you stayed up all night?
**[09:04] Subaru**
*This is infuriating.*
**[09:05] Subaru**
* Why is it the words I want*
* to say never come out?*
**[09:12] Kota**
U-Um, I, um... well...
**[09:15] Kawase**
Hi there! No need to be nervous!
**[09:19] Kota**
R-Right...
**[09:20] Kota**
I-I've read *Shining in the
Dark of Night* over and over!
**[09:24] Kota**
It was so good!
**[09:27] Kota**
P-Please shake my hand!
**[09:33] Subaru**
* Did I ever have the courage to reach*
* out my hand to anyone like this?*
**[09:39] Subaru**
*It's more like...*
**[09:40] (Flashback) Nana**
Are you familiar with that novel
about the cat, Subaru-san?
**[09:44] (Flashback) Yugo**
This one has a cat in it.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Yugo**
I recommend it!
**[09:48] Subaru**
* I couldn't even say*
* something that important.*
**[09:52] Subaru**
*Why am I even here right now?*
**[09:56] Subaru**
I'll also...
**[09:57] Subaru**
Th-Thank you.

It's just about time to wrap up.
**[10:30] Kawase**
Thanks so much for all your effort today.
**[10:33] Kawase**
Mikazuki-kun? Are you all right?
**[10:36] Subaru**
Oh... Yeah.
**[10:38] Subaru**
I was just thinking... I didn't
properly thank anyone early on...
**[10:44] Subaru**
After they came to see me...
**[10:48] Kawase**
That happens to everyone.
**[10:50] Kawase**
I regret things every single day.
**[10:54] Kawase**
So just be sure to thank them next time,
**[10:56] Kawase**
and let's work hard to make
sure "next time" happens.
**[11:03] Subaru**
Thank you.
**[11:06] Kawase**
Uh, I'll go check to see if
any more readers are coming.
**[11:15] Subaru**
*Just beyond the courage to reach out a hand,*
**[11:19] Subaru**
*there's more warmth than I ever knew.*
**[11:22] Subaru**
* Now that I think about it,*
* there's warmth all around me.*
**[11:28] Subaru**
*Come to think of it...*
**[11:30] Subaru**
* She was meowing more than*
* usual before I left.*
**[11:33] Subaru**
*I was in a hurry, so I left anyway...*
**[11:36] Subaru**
* I left her food and water,*
* and her litter box should be fine.*
**[11:41] Subaru**
* Is this the first time I've been*
* away from home for so long?*
**[11:45] Subaru**
*I hope she's okay...*
**[11:47] Kawase**
Right this way!
**[11:48] Kawase**
Ah, Mikazuki-sensei!
Someone ran here to see you.
**[11:53] Subaru**
Wha... Oh...
**[11:54] Subaru**
H-Hello.
**[11:56] Nana**
I'm sorry! I'm glad I made it in time!
**[12:00] Nana**
My younger brother is also
a huge fan of yours,
**[12:03] Nana**
but he was busy today.
**[12:06] Nana**
Since he couldn't make it,
I'm here in his...
**[12:10] Both**
Huh?
**[12:11] Nana**
S-Subaru-san?! Why...
**[12:15] Subaru**
Okami-san?
**[12:17] Both**
Huh?!
**[12:21] Nana**
Subaru-san, you're... Mikazuki-sensei?
**[12:26] Subaru**
* I can't believe it... I never*
* expected this to happen!*
**[12:29] Nana**
Wait... I... I talked to you
about Mikazuki-sensei's novel...
**[12:36] Subaru**
I-I couldn't bring myself to
say it in that situation...
**[12:41] Subaru**
*No.*
**[12:43] Subaru**
*I knew, but I kept quiet.*
**[12:46] Subaru**
*Isn't that the same as lying?*
**[12:50] Subaru**
*I disappointed her...*
**[12:52] Subaru**
* No, this is probably far*
* beyond disappointment.*
**[12:55] Subaru**
*She probably feels betrayed.*
**[12:57] Subaru**
* She went to the trouble to come here,*
* and I made her feel so terrible...*
**[13:03] Kawase**
U-Um... Mikazuki-sensei,
if you could sign it for her...
**[13:09] Subaru**
*Someone told me they liked my book, and I...*
**[13:14] Subaru**
I...
**[13:15] Both**
I'm sor—
**[13:15] Nana**
Subaru-san, I'm so sorry!
**[13:18] Nana**
I had no idea that you were
actually Mikazuki-sensei!
**[13:24] Subaru**
Huh? Wait...
**[13:25] Subaru**
*Why are you apologizing?*
**[13:28] Nana**
I was talking like some kind
of expert back then.
**[13:31] Nana**
I must have upset you terribly...
**[13:34] Subaru**
*N-No! That's not it!*
**[13:37] Nana**
And I finally realized it just now.
**[13:40] Nana**
That's why you suddenly hurried back home...
**[13:43] Subaru**
*You're mistaken!*
**[13:44] Subaru**
*I... I...*
**[13:47] Subaru**
*That day...*
**[13:48] Subaru**
I... I was happy!
**[13:52] Subaru**
When the two of you knew about my book,
**[13:55] Subaru**
and said such nice things...
**[13:58] Subaru**
That had never happened before.
**[14:00] Subaru**
And your coming here today...
All of that makes me happy.
**[14:04] Subaru**
But I was so surprised at the time,
I couldn't bring myself to say it...
**[14:09] Subaru**
I'm sorry.
**[14:10] Nana**
Huh? Oh, no, not at all!
**[14:12] Nana**
You had every right to be surprised!
**[14:14] Nana**
Actually, I'm still kind
of in shock right now...
**[14:20] Kawase**
I haven't a clue what's going on,
**[14:23] Kawase**
but it looks like there's been some
sort of wonderful coincidence.
**[14:28] Nana**
Yes.
**[14:29] Kawase**
I guess they do say "it's a small world."

*Haru-chan?!*
**[14:41] Kawase**
* I'm so curious about what kind of*

continue to support you.

O-Okay...

Best of luck!
**[14:58] Subaru**
O-Okay!
**[15:00] Nana**
So long.
**[15:06] Subaru**
*Oh! Crap!*
**[15:09] Subaru**
*I forgot to say thanks again!*
**[15:12] Subaru**
*She's pretty far away already...*
**[15:15] Subaru**
*But I guess it's okay.*
**[15:17] Subaru**
* If I go back to that store,*
* I can talk to her again...*
**[15:22] Subaru**
*No, that's not enough!*
**[15:24] Subaru**
O-Okami-san!
**[15:27] Subaru**
Thank you for coming today!
**[15:34] Subaru**
*She heard me...*
**[15:37] Kawase**
Well done.
**[15:42] Subaru**
*I can't change the past.*
**[15:44] Subaru**
* The same moments from*
* before won't come back.*
**[15:47] Subaru**
Yeah. I'm glad...
I was able to come here today.
**[15:52] Subaru**
But...
**[15:53] Subaru**
That's all thanks to you.
**[15:56] Subaru**
So, once again, thank you so much.
**[16:00] Subaru**
I hope we can continue working together.
**[16:03] Subaru**
*If I reach out my hand...*
**[16:06] Kawase**
Mikazuki-kun...
**[16:07] Subaru**
*There's someone who'll grasp it for me.*
**[16:11] Kawase**
I'm... so happy...
**[16:15] Subaru**
Hey, come on! The event's over!
**[16:18] Kawase**
R-Right...
**[16:19] Subaru**
* When those two hands join,*
* new courage is born,*
***SIGN*** Yanagawa Books
**[16:24] Subaru**
* and beyond that, there must*
* be something I can change.*
**[16:32] Subaru**
I'm exhausted.
**[16:34] Subaru**
I just want to relax right now...
**[16:41] Subaru**
*Wh-What is this?!*
**[16:43] Subaru**
*A thief? A prowler?!*
**[16:45] Subaru**
*C-Calm down. Everything's fine.*
**[16:49] Subaru**
* I don't have anything I'd*
* miss if they stole—*

Haru? Haru!

Haru?
**[17:09] Subaru**
A-Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
**[17:15] Subaru**
Thank goodness...
**[17:18] Subaru**
I-I should call the police!
**[17:23] Subaru**
Why are there tissues everywhere?
**[17:27] Subaru**
And...
**[17:30] Subaru**
Scratches and bite marks on the book.
**[17:33] Subaru**
What answer does this lead us to?
**[17:36] Subaru**
The culprit is...
**[17:39] Subaru**
It was you?
**[17:43] Subaru**
You...
**[17:48] Subaru**
What are you even poking your head out of?
**[17:53] Subaru**
* How long has it been since I*
* laughed out loud on my own?*
**[17:57] Subaru**
*No... I guess I'm not on my own now.*
**[18:05] Subaru**
What?
**[18:09] Subaru**
*Does she want more food?*
**[18:13] Subaru**
* It'd be cool if I could learn*
* to understand her better.*
**[18:17] Subaru**
*Maybe something would change...*
**[18:20] Haru**
* Sheesh... I was worried out of*
