[00:02] Yume
    Summer break of my
    second year in middle school.
[00:04] Yume
    I'd just had my first-ever date
    at a summer festival days prior,
[00:09] Yume
    and I hadn't been able
    to stop myself sighing since.
[00:20] (Flashback) Yume
    I love Irido-kun.

[00:30] (Flashback) Yume
    H-Hello?
[00:32] Mizuto
    Hey. Is... now a good time?
[00:36] (Flashback) Yume
    Y-Yup! Absolutely!
[00:39] (Flashback) Yume
    I wasn't doing much anyway!
[00:41] (Flashback) Yume
    S-So, what's up?
[00:43] (Flashback) Yume
    D-Did you need something?
[00:46] Mizuto
    No, not really.
[00:49] (Flashback) Yume
    Oh, okay.
[00:51] Mizuto
    Yeah...
[00:52] Mizuto
    I just felt like talking to you.
[00:55] (Flashback) Yume
    Huh?!
[00:56] (Flashback) Yume
    U-Um... Me too.
[01:04] (Flashback) Yume
    I've been wanting to talk to you too.
[01:09] Mizuto
    Really? Perfect timing, then.
[01:12] (Flashback) Yume
    Y-Yeah, it is!
[01:17] (Flashback) Yume
    It must be pretty windy out, huh?
[01:20] Mizuto
    Oh... Yeah.
[01:23] Mizuto
    Ayai?
[01:24] (Flashback) Yume
    Hmm?
[01:25] Mizuto
    Never mind.
[01:28] Mizuto
    Actually, my battery's getting pretty low.
[01:31] (Flashback) Yume
    Oh, I understand.
[01:34] (Flashback) Yume
    Can we talk some other time, Irido-kun?
[01:37] Mizuto
    Yeah, of course.
[01:39] Mizuto
    I'm sure I'll see you in the library
    the day after tomorrow.
[01:41] (Flashback) Yume
    Okay. I can't wait.
[01:43] Mizuto
    Talk to you then.
[01:45] (Flashback) Yume
    Yeah.
[01:46] Mizuto
    Bye.
[01:47] (Flashback) Yume
    Bye-bye.
[01:52] Yume
    Why couldn't we talk
    while his phone was charging?

[03:38] Natsume
    Welcome! It's nice to meet you.
[03:41] Natsume
    I'm Irido Natsume.
[03:44] Yuni
    N-Nice to meet you too!
[03:46] Yuni
    I'm Irido Yuni.
[03:47] Natsume
    Sorry for not introducing myself sooner.
[03:51] Yuni
    No, no! The same goes for me.
[03:54] Natsume
    Now then, you must be Yume-chan.
[03:56] Yume
    Yes, I'm Irido Yume.
[03:59] Yume
    Thank you for having us.
[04:00] Natsume
    My, my! How polite!
[04:03] Natsume
    What a nice young lady you are.
[04:05] Natsume
    I trust you're getting along with Mizuto.
[04:08] Yume
    Y-Yes...
[04:09] Mineaki
    They're practically closer
    than we are, in fact.
[04:12] Yuni
    It's true! Mizuto's been such a gentleman.
[04:16] Yuni
    Right, Yume?
[04:19] Madoka
    Hey, Mizuto-kun! It's been too long!
[04:24] Mizuto
    Long time no see, Madoka-san.
[04:26] Madoka
    What a relief. I see you're
    still a man of few words.
[04:30] Madoka
    I wasn't sure what I'd do if you'd decided
    to reinvent yourself as a high schooler.
[04:34] Mizuto
    High school isn't the time
     to go reinventing yourself.
[04:38] Madoka
    Wow, harsh.
[04:41] Mineaki
    Yuni-san, Yume-chan,
    allow me to introduce you.
[04:44] Mineaki
    These are my uncle's grandchildren.
[04:46] Mineaki
    I guess that'd make them your
    second cousins, Yume-chan.
[04:50] Mineaki
    Meet Tanesato Madoka-chan
    and Tanesato Chikuma-kun.
[05:03] Madoka
    I see what's going on here.
[05:05] Yume
    Um, is something the matter?
[05:07] Madoka
    Not a thing.
[05:08] Madoka
    Yup, yup...
[05:10] Madoka
    In just a little bit,
[05:11] Madoka
    the whole family's going to be having
    a welcome barbecue down by the river.
[05:15] Madoka
    In our swimsuits, of course!
[05:50] Madoka's Father
    Are you both enjoying the food?
[05:52] Mineaki
    Yes, we are.
[05:53] Yuni
    It's delicious.
[05:55] Madoka's Father
    I gotta say, you did a
    fine job raising Mizuto-kun.
[06:00] Madoka's Father
    You really came through, Mineaki-kun.
[06:03] Madoka's Father
    It's really something.
[06:05] Mineaki
    Thank you very much.
[06:07] Madoka
    Uncle Mineaki became a single father not
    long after Mizuto-kun was born.
[06:14] Madoka
    Apparently, Granny Natsume
    helped out from time to time,
[06:18] Madoka
    but it couldn't have been easy.
[06:21] Madoka
    The whole family was worried
    about him, you know?
[06:26] Madoka
    Which is why... How should I put it?
SIGN    We want to welcome you and Yuni-san with open arms, you could say.
[06:35] Yume
    I'm grateful.
[06:39] Yume
    It's clearer to me now than ever.
[06:42] Yume
    Mineaki-san remarrying was a testament
[06:45] Yume
    to overcoming a great hardship in his life.
[06:49] Yume
    Because of that, I have to...
[06:50] Yume
    We have to protect this new
    family of ours no matter what.
[06:57] Madoka
    By the way, Yume-chan...
[06:59] Madoka
    You're so skinny! How is your waist so thin?!
[07:02] Yume
    I-I'm just not very muscular, that's all.
[07:04] Madoka
    I'm so freaking jealous!
[07:06] Madoka
    And that bikini's gorgeous!
[07:08] Madoka
    Did you pick it out yourself?
[07:10] Yume
    Um... Well, kinda.
[07:15] Madoka
    Your boyfriend?
[07:16] Yume
    No, it's not like that.
[07:19] Madoka
    I see, I see. Not there yet, huh?
[07:22] Yume
    Well... not exactly...
[07:25] Madoka
    Huh?
[07:26] Madoka
    Wh-Wh-What?!
[07:28] Madoka
    Do you mean what I think you mean?!
[07:31] Yume
    N-No way! Absolutely not!
[07:33] Madoka
    That reaction makes it
     even more suspicious!
[07:35] Yume
    I'm telling you the truth.
[07:40] Madoka
    I feel a little left out, though.
[07:42] Madoka
    He never seemed to want to open up to me.
[07:45] Yume
    Really? I had no idea.
[07:47] Madoka
    It's true!
[07:49] Madoka
    I've been watching over
    him since kindergarten,
[07:53] Madoka
    but I get the cold shoulder
    whenever I try to talk to him.
[07:56] Yume
    Does that mean...
[08:00] Mizuto
    Dad.
[08:02] Mizuto
    I'm done eating, so I'm heading back.
[08:03] Mineaki
    Sure. Thanks, kid.
[08:06] Yume
    Thanks? For what?
[08:09] Mizuto
    Later.
[08:10] Madoka
    Huh?!
[08:11] Madoka
    You're kidding! You're leaving already?
[08:14] Madoka
    We haven't gotten in the water yet!
[08:16] Mizuto
    I'll pass!
[08:17] Madoka
    Unbelievable! How can you come
    to the river and not even swim?
[08:22] Madoka
    At the very least, I'm not letting
    Yume-chan get away!
[08:25] Yume
    What?
[08:26] Madoka
    Off with you!
[08:26] Yume
    M-Madoka-san, sto—
[08:29] Madoka
    All right!
[08:30] Madoka
    Time to settle our tummies
    with a little swimming!
[08:48] Madoka
    Oh, Yume-chan.
[08:50] Madoka
    Go get some rest once
    you're done with those, okay?
[08:52] Yume
    Are you sure?
[08:54] Madoka
    This lot isn't going to bed any time soon.
[08:57] Yume
    Duly noted.
[08:58] Madoka
    Oh, could you let Mizuto-kun know
    it's his turn in the bath?
[09:02] Madoka
    He's probably in Great-Grandpa's study.
[09:30] Mizuto
    Oh, it's you. What's up?
[09:32] Yume
    It's your turn to take a bath.
[09:34] Mizuto
    That time already?
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[09:38] Yume
    You're not going to use a bookmark?
[09:41] Mizuto
    No need. I remember the whole story anyway.
[09:43] Yume
    Huh?
[09:45] Mizuto
    You won't find this book anywhere else, see.
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[09:47] Mizuto
    I reread it every time we come back here.
[09:50] Yume
    "The Siberian Dancing Girl"?
[09:53] Mizuto
    It's my great-granddad's autobiography.
[09:56] Yume
    Wow, his autobiography?
[09:57] Yume
    Wait...
[09:59] Mizuto
    He published it himself.
[10:01] Mizuto
    Well, it was never sold or distributed,
    so I guess it's just a hand-bound book.
[10:05] Mizuto
    Pretty weird hobby, huh?
[10:08] Mizuto
    I'd just started elementary school when
    I first stumbled upon it in this study.
[10:13] Mizuto
    There's no author listed, so it struck
     me as mysterious, you know?
[10:17] Mizuto
    I couldn't help but open it.
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[10:20] Mizuto
    I've read it every year since.
[10:23] Yume
    Is it really that interesting?
[10:25] Mizuto
    It was full of words I didn't know,
[10:27] Mizuto
    so it was largely impenetrable
     to me at the time.
[10:30] Mizuto
    And yet, for whatever reason,
    I read it through to the end.
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[10:34] Mizuto
    It was the first story that I
    ever read all by myself.
[10:38] Yume
    The first story you read by yourself...
[10:42] Mizuto
    The Siberian Internment.
[10:43] Mizuto
    After the war, he was held captive in
    the Soviet Union for three or four years.
[10:49] Mizuto
    This book is about his time there.
[10:52] Yume
    So who's the "dancing girl"?
[10:54] Mizuto
    Remember Mori Ogai?
[10:56] Yume
    Elise?
[10:57] Mizuto
    Exactly. He wrote about a
    woman he met in Siberia,
[11:01] Mizuto
    just like Mori Ogai did in "The Dancing Girl."
[11:04] Mizuto
    Well, if you want to know the rest,
    why not read it for yourself?
[11:07] Yume
    Huh?
[11:08] Mizuto
    Books are meant to be read, no?
[11:11] Mizuto
    If you're so inclined, how about it?
[11:14] Mizuto
    It's short, so it shouldn't take you long.
[11:17] Yume
    Are you sure?
[11:18] Mizuto
    You act like something bad's going to happen.
[11:21] Mizuto
    I'm gonna go take a bath now.
[11:23] Yume
    Hey.
[11:24] Mizuto
    Hmm?
[11:25] Yume
    Has anyone else ever read this?
[11:27] Mizuto
    I mean... I really doubt it.
[11:30] Mizuto
    It was pretty tucked away
    when I first found it.
[11:36] Yume
    Not Mineaki-san, Natsume-san,
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[11:39] Yume
    and not even Madoka-san have ever read this.
[11:42] Yume
    The book that shaped Irido Mizuto...
[11:45] Yume
    Does he really not mind sharing it with me?
[12:21] Yume
    Oh no, what have I done?
[12:23] Yume
    I should dab that off...
[12:45] Yume
    Alone in this study secluded
    from the outside world,
[12:50] Yume
    as if to separate himself from its reach...
[12:57] Yume
    He's been sequestered in
    this room his entire life.
[13:04] Mizuto
    Make it to the end?
[13:07] Yume
    Yeah.
[13:08] Mizuto
    I see.
[13:10] Yume
    Your great-granddad was in love back then.
[13:18] Yume
    Say, do you mind... if I ask
    what your first love was like?
[13:22] Mizuto
    Huh?
[13:28] Mizuto
    I guess you could say she loved to laugh.
[13:35] Yume
    I see.
[13:38] Yume
    I knew it.
[13:40] Yume
    His first love had to be...
[13:44] Yume
    Madoka-san after all.
SIGN    My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
[13:51] Natsume
    We've got plenty to choose from,
    so pick whichever suits your fancy!
[13:55] Madoka
    Thanks, Granny!
[13:58] Madoka
    What kind of yukata would you like, Yume-chan?
[14:02] Yume
    Hmm...
[14:03] Madoka
    You're thin, and your hair's nice and long,
[14:06] Madoka
    so I bet you'd look good
    in any traditional clothes.
[14:08] Madoka
    I can't wait for the summer festival!
[14:10] Madoka
    The weather's supposed to be good,
    so the fireworks should be quite a sight.
[14:16] Madoka
    Yume-chan?
[14:19] Madoka
    Did something happen between
    you and Mizuto-kun?
[14:24] Yume
    It's not about anything that he did.
[14:28] Yume
    I'm just in my own head
    about how selfish I've been.
[14:35] Yume
    That's it. I finally understand.
[14:39] Yume
    He's his own living, breathing person.
[14:42] Yume
    He isn't some perfect manifestation
    of my dreams or ideals.
[14:47] Yume
    He ostracized himself from others,
[14:49] Yume
    living in complete isolation before we met.
[14:53] Yume
    It's not crazy to think a boy like him
[14:56] Yume
    would've fallen for someone else before me.
[15:02] Madoka
    Are you in love with Mizuto-kun?
[15:08] Yume
    I don't know...
[15:11] Yume
    How do you define loving someone?
[15:17] Madoka
    It's simple, isn't it?
[15:18] Madoka
    Your heart races when you're near them.
[15:20] Madoka
    And you find yourself daydreaming
    about kissing them.
[15:23] Madoka
    If that's your experience,
    the diagnosis is clear, no?
[15:25] Yume
    But how is that any different from lust?
[15:29] Madoka
    Whoa there, now someone's
    asking the tough questions.
[15:32] Yume
    I-I'm sorry.
[15:34] Madoka
    Listen...
[15:35] Madoka
    Aren't you constantly invalidating
    your own emotions, Yume-chan?
[15:38] Yume
    Huh?
[15:40] Madoka
    You're always looking for excuses to
    justify not being with Mizuto-kun, right?
[15:45] Yume
    I'm looking for excuses not to be with him?
[15:49] Madoka
    Now, now! Don't look so puzzled.
[15:52] Madoka
    There's no need to think so hard on it.
[15:55] Madoka
    Just take the opportunity to
     start sorting out those feelings.
[16:00] Yume
    Y-You say that, but I have
    no idea where to start.
[16:04] Madoka
    No worries! Your cousin's got an idea!
[16:19] Yume
    I wonder what exactly she's planning.
[16:22] Madoka
    Sorry! Something came up and I just
    can't get out of it, you know?
[16:27] Mizuto
    It's not a problem.
[16:29] Madoka
    Thanks a ton!
[16:33] Madoka
    There should be a light bulb somewhere
    in that chest of drawers over there,
[16:37] Madoka
    so have a look for it
    with Yume-chan, will you?
[16:39] Madoka
    I'll leave you all alone
     for about half an hour, 'kay?
[16:42] Madoka
    Absolutely no one, not even Aunt Yuni and
     Uncle Mineaki, will be by, you hear?
[16:47] Yume
    Th-That was dreadful.
[16:49] Yume
    I didn't realize Madoka-san
    was such an atrocious liar.
[16:54] Mizuto
    What's up?
[16:57] Mizuto
    You have something you want
    to tell me, don't you?
[16:59] Mizuto
    Why else would you have her arrange this?
[17:11] Yume
    I have no idea what to say first.
[17:14] Yume
    I scarcely know what my problem is,
[17:18] Yume
    let alone how to go about solving it.
[17:22] Yume
    After coming here
[17:24] Yume
    and getting to know my new relatives,
[17:27] Yume
    I feel like I'm finally part of the family.
[17:31] Yume
    Then in that old study,
SIGN    The Siberian Dancing Girl
[17:33] Yume
    I discovered the book that
    shaped the boy I know today.
[17:37] Yume
    And in doing so,
[17:38] Yume
    it made me realize how selfish I've been.
[17:43] Yume
    Getting the wrong idea and wasting
    his time just like I am now...
[17:47] Yume
    Getting mad at him, getting snarky,
    and treating him unfairly...
[17:53] Yume
    I'm lugging around feelings
    I should have let go of long ago.
[18:00] Yume
    I get it now. I think I finally understand.
[18:04] Yume
    I know what's wrong with me,
    how to fix it...
[18:08] Yume
    and what I need to tell him right now.
[18:13] Yume
    It's not gonna make it all better.
[18:15] Yume
    It's going to feel like ripping off the scab
[18:19] Yume
    that's formed over my broken heart.
[18:23] Yume
    I'm sure it'll be painful.
[18:25] Yume
    Excruciating.
[18:27] Yume
    But even so, if I...
[18:29] Yume
    If we're ever going to move on,
[18:32] Yume
    I need to face this
[18:34] Yume
    and finally accept the heartbreak
    of my first relationship.
[18:39] Yume
    Irido-kun...
[18:43] Yume
    Irido-kun... Irido-kun...
[18:50] Yume
    Irido-kun, you were my first love.
[18:55] Yume
    And yet...
[18:58] Yume
    When you said you wanted to break up,
[19:01] Yume
    it felt like a weight was
    lifted off my shoulders.
[19:05] Yume
    "It's finally over. I'm finally free."
[19:08] Yume
    "I no longer have to feel
    hurt, sad, or alone anymore."
[19:14] Yume
    That's how I truly felt deep down.
[19:18] Yume
    But still...
[19:23] Yume
    I never wanted us to break up.
[19:28] Yume
    I should have called you that summer.
[19:32] Yume
    And I should have bought you
    something for Christmas.
[19:37] Yume
    I should have made you
    chocolate for Valentine's.
[19:41] Yume
    And I should have told you I didn't want to
[19:44] Yume
    when you said we should break up.
[19:48] Yume
    There's just so much I
    regret not doing, Irido-kun.
[19:55] Yume
    Irido-kun...
[19:58] Yume
    Stop crying!
[20:00] Yume
    I'm the one who decided to cast aside
[20:02] Yume
    the one person who could wipe away my tears.
[20:05] Yume
    I don't deserve to...
[20:07] Mizuto
    Ayai.
[20:12] Mizuto
    Just this once, let's go back in time, Ayai.
[20:22] Yume
    Irido-kun...
[20:23] Yume
    Irido-kun... Irido-kun!
[20:28] Mizuto
    Ayai...
[20:38] Mizuto
    So, what was it that you
    wanted to talk to me about?
[20:47] Yume
    Your first love.
[20:49] Mizuto
    Huh?
[20:50] Yume
    When I realized it must be Madoka-san,
[20:53] Yume
    it really bothered me for some reason.
[20:56] Yume
    I couldn't sit still.
[20:58] Mizuto
    You think Madoka-san was my first love?
[21:01] Yume
    Huh?
[21:02] Yume
    Sh-She wasn't?
[21:04] Mizuto
    I don't recall ever having feelings for her.
[21:07] Yume
    B-But yesterday, you said...
[21:09] Mizuto
    Yesterday?

    I thought you were acting strange after
    asking me such a weird question.
[21:15] Mizuto
    So that's what got into your head?
[21:18] Mizuto
    You've got so much going for you on paper,
[21:22] Mizuto
    but you're a real mess under
    the hood, you know that?
[21:27] Mizuto
    Your nose is running, by the way.
[21:29] Yume
    Huh?!
[21:32] Mizuto
    Just kidding.
[21:36] Mizuto
    What's so funny?
[21:38] Yume
    Just that you can be such a child, you know?
[21:44] Mizuto
    See? Didn't I tell you?
[21:47] Yume
    Huh?
[21:48] Mizuto
    My first love loved to laugh.
