    MAY 3RD
[00:05] ---
    MAY 4TH
[00:05] ---
    From that day,
    I spent my Golden Week by...

[00:06] ---
    MAY 5TH
[00:07] ---
    MAY 6TH
[00:08] ---
    MAY 7TH
[00:09] ---
    That's right.
    Pretty much all on my knees.

[00:35] ---
    In the blackest darkness
[00:35] ---
    Kuroi yami no naka
[00:40] ---
    my first emotion
[00:40] ---
    sotto saiteita
[00:47] ---
    was blooming quietly
[00:47] ---
    hajimete no kokoro
[00:52] ---
    I’m sure you don’t know that
[00:52] ---
    Kimi wa kitto shiranai
[00:58] ---
    Although I can’t grab your hands
[00:58] ---
    Sashinobete kureta te wo
[01:04] ---
    that are reaching out to me
[01:04] ---
    Tsukamezu ni iru watashi wa
[01:10] ---
    Just a little more
[01:10] ---
    Ato sukoshi mou sukoshi
[01:16] ---
    I am wanting only you
[01:16] ---
    Kimi bakari motomete iru
[01:22] ---
    That is a ray of light
[01:22] ---
    Sore wa hitosuji no hikari
[01:32] ---
    Hoping that you will
[01:32] ---
    Hajimete no kokoro
[01:37] ---
    notice my first feeling
[01:37] ---
    kimi ni kizuite hoshikute
[01:57] ---
    RED SCENE
[02:14] ---
    The demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
    (Heart Crossing) AKA "Apparition Killer."

[02:31] ---
    You got the demon sword
    "Kokoro Watari"? I'm amazed.
[02:36] ---
    Little Miss Vampire's change of
    heart is something I didn't expect.
[02:40] ---
    Well, let me congratulate you.
[02:45] ---
    So about Class Prez's parents...
    They've actually already been discharged.
[02:50] ---
    Really?
[02:51] ---
    And I asked them
    about a couple of things.
[02:56] ---
    I wasn't able to gather any useful
    information to battle the Sawari Neko.
[03:01] ---
    Instead, I did hear about
    an interesting episode.
[03:04] ---
    An interesting episode?
[03:06] ---
    A story about Class Prez's
    father hitting her face.
[03:11] ---
    He got angry, hit her,
    and Class Prez flew into a wall.
[03:16] ---
    Well, Class Prez is a lightweight.
[03:24] ---
    Then, after Class Prez was curled up
    in pain from hitting the wall,
[03:30] ---
    what do you think
    she did, Araragi-kun?
[03:33] ---
    "No, Father, you
    shouldn't hit a girl's face."
[03:37] ---
    Prez smiled and said that.
[03:41] ---
    You think those are the words of a girl
    who was hit by her father?! They're not!
[03:47] ---
    It's disgusting.
    Utterly innate goodness.
[03:50] ---
    LIGHT PURPLE SCENE
[03:51] ---
    It's scary. Scarier than
    an apparition. It's disgusting.
[03:57] ---
    Oshino, you're on their side?
[04:00] ---
    I'm not on their side. I'm neutral.
[04:02] ---
    If anything, it's how you
    see the situation.
[04:05] ---
    For Class Prez, she has her point
    of view, and her parents have theirs.
[04:11] ---
    A third party wouldn't
    know who's right.
[04:15] ---
    No, there's no "rightness"
    in the first place.
[04:18] ---
    What's present isn't rightness,
    but convenience.
[04:23] ---
    Even then, Hanekawa is...
    Hanekawa is right.
[04:28] ---
    As I said, that's scary and disgusting.
[04:31] ---
    Of course, Class Prez's
    parents aren't humans to be praised.
[04:37] ---
    But Araragi-kun, we can't just not
    try to understand their feelings.
[04:42] ---
    Living under one roof with
    a human that righteous,
[04:45] ---
    and it being your daughter,
    would make your skin crawl.
[04:48] ---
    For some ten odd years, they've been
    with someone who was just too virtuous.
[04:51] ---
    HANEKAWA
[04:51] ---
    TSUBASA
[04:53] ---
    In other words, it's the hell of being endlessly
    shown your own ugliness and immaturity.
[05:00] ---
    It's a nightmare.
[05:01] ---
    I almost want to commend them for
    holding back and not hitting her all those years.
[05:07] ---
    Regardless of how you
    look at it, it's not her fault.
[05:11] ---
    It is her fault.
[05:13] ---
    Those with power should be
    aware of the influence they have.
[05:19] ---
    SHE HARMED
[05:19] ---
    THINGS THAT SHE TOUCHED
[05:19] ---
    PEOPLE THAT SHE TOUCHED
[05:20] ---
    SHE HARMED THEM ALL
[05:21] ---
    AS IF SHE BLOSSOMED PROUDLY
[05:22] ---
    This time, everything's irregular.
[05:25] ---
    Everything's irregular,
    and only Class Prez is irregular.
[05:29] ---
    This, that, everything,
    and all are Class Prez's fault.
[05:35] ---
    Sorry, Oshino.
[05:38] ---
    Please don't say anything
    bad about Hanekawa anymore.
[05:43] ---
    RED SCENE
[05:43] ---
    I want to kill them.
[05:46] ---
    Is that sympathizing with her?
[05:49] ---
    No. You're totally wrong.
[05:54] ---
    It's unlike you.
    You're missing the point, Oshino.
[06:00] ---
    I wouldn't sympathize.
    I'll just crush on an unfortunate girl.
[06:05] ---
    I just want to reduce my frustration.
[06:10] ---
    I'm just hot for a cat-eared
    high school girl in lingerie.
[06:18] ---
    Demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
    It's a weapon that only kills apparitions.

[06:23] ---
    Using this, I can hunt the Sawari Neko
    without harming Hanekawa herself.

[06:31] ---
    I have nothing else
    to say as a pro...
[06:34] ---
    ...but as a friend, as your best friend,
    I have some advice I want to give you.
[06:41] ---
    Advice? What is it?
[06:44] ---
    The first thing.
[06:46] ---
    It's true you can separate her
    from the Sawari Neko if you use that.
[06:51] ---
    That's the best idea
    to perform its last rites.
[06:55] ---
    But because it seems like the best idea,
    it may be what she's watching out for most.
[07:02] ---
    Especially if it's an idea you came up with.
    Don't you think she's planning for that?
[07:08] ---
    MAYBE
[07:09] ---
    In all likelihood, that's probably true.
    But I have confidence in it.
[07:15] ---
    It'll most likely go well.
    I have a plan, you know.
[07:18] ---
    Plan?
[07:19] ---
    No, not a plan... A hope.
[07:23] ---
    I'D SAY IT'S WISHFUL THINKING
[07:27] ---
    Then I'll believe you.
    As long as you're okay with that.
[07:31] ---
    Don't imply anything with your tone.
    What are the other two things?
[07:36] ---
    No, I'll take back the second one.
    There's no use saying that one.
[07:41] ---
    Let me just say the third one.
[07:44] ---
    I had a pretty good idea what the second
    bit of advice Oshino wanted to tell me was.

[07:52] ---
    The third one. The last one.
[07:55] ---
    This is the most important
    and realistic thing, Araragi-kun.
[08:00] ---
    How are you going to find Class Prez when
    you don't know where she's hiding in this town?
[08:05] ---
    YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING ME TO HELP YOU, ARE YOU?
[08:06] ---
    Don't worry. I have a solid plan,
    not just a hope or wishful thinking.
[08:13] ---
    I won't hassle you.
[08:15] ---
    Let's go our separate ways from here.
[08:19] ---
    You look for the Sawari Neko
    as the pro you are. I'll do it my own way.
[08:24] ---
    Hmm, your way, huh?
[08:28] ---
    Yeah, you won't be able to do this.
    It's one of those "Ultra C" things.
[08:33] ---
    Then let's see what
    you've got. Do as you like.
[08:37] ---
    No matter what mayhem
    or pathetic state you're in...
[08:40] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[08:40] ---
    ...I have no intention
    of getting in your way.
[08:43] ---
    SENT
[08:54] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[09:11] ---
    Araragi-kun, are you okay?
[09:16] ---
    I see.
[09:19] ---
    I guess I was fooled.
[09:22] ---
    TO: HANEKAWA TSUBASA
    SUB: HELP
[09:22] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[09:23] ---
    I'M GOING TO BE KILLED
    BY A VAMPIRE. HELP ME
[09:27] ---
    But that was a quick arrival, Sawari Neko.
[09:30] ---
    You appeared in just 30 minutes.
    I'm impressed.
[09:34] ---
    You're the worst, Araragi-kun.
[09:37] ---
    You can't lie to people
    and worry people.
[09:44] ---
    What?
[09:45] ---
    What's so funny
    about me being angry?
[09:48] ---
    No, it's because your
    speech pattern's messed up...
[09:53] ---
    ...Hanekawa.
[09:56] ---
    What's wrong, honors student?
[09:58] ---
    Wasn't adding "meow meow" to your sentences
    the character setup for the Sawari Neko?
[10:06] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[10:06] ---
    Oh well.
[10:13] ---
    Or "meow well"? Well, whatever.
[10:17] ---
    Huh? When did you figure it out?
[10:21] ---
    I sort of figured from the start.
[10:24] ---
    I'm your friend.
    There's no way I'd misread you.
[10:29] ---
    There's no way I wouldn't figure it out.
[10:32] ---
    Possessed by an apparition or taking in
    an apparition, you are yourself, Hanekawa.
[10:38] ---
    Just because your character changed
    doesn't mean your personality changed.
[10:41] ---
    That's you. You yourself.
[10:44] ---
    If you get a text for help,
[10:46] ---
    you'll be there at a moment's notice
    regardless of the situation or battle.
[10:52] ---
    Your instincts make you run,
    like a cat playing with lint.
[10:56] ---
    That's you.
[10:58] ---
    This is...
[11:00] ---
    This is me, huh?
[11:02] ---
    That's right.
[11:04] ---
    I mean, you're angry I lied, but on
    the other hand, you're relieved, right?
[11:09] ---
    You're relieved, aren't you?
[11:13] ---
    You're super nice and super strong.
    You're too nice and too strong.
[11:18] ---
    Too nice that it's tough to live and too
    strong you'd sell your soul to an apparition.
[11:24] ---
    So right you pressure others.
    I get why you want to deny it.
[11:29] ---
    I don't, but I do. But, Hanekawa...
[11:32] ---
    But, Hanekawa...
[11:35] ---
    But, Hanekawa...
[11:37] ---
    That's you!
[11:42] ---
    You're going to live the rest of your life
    with that personality! You can't change!
[11:47] ---
    You were born with and grew up to have
    that personality, so it can't be helped!
[11:53] ---
    All you can do is stop complaining
    and work hard to get on with it!
[11:59] ---
    What are you saying, Araragi-kun?
[12:02] ---
    Don't be so unreasonable.
    I'm having a hard time too.
[12:07] ---
    There are things I can and can't do.
[12:11] ---
    I'm human too.
[12:12] ---
    APPARITION
[12:12] ---
    You're not human.
[12:14] ---
    You surrendered yourself
    to an apparition.
[12:18] ---
    Don't claim to be a human now.
[12:22] ---
    You say such harsh things, Araragi-kun.
[12:24] ---
    Even though you know why
    this happened to me.
[12:28] ---
    You tell me to do my best
    even in this. That's mean.
[12:32] ---
    So mean.
[12:34] ---
    Araragi-kun, you won't sympathize with me?
[12:38] ---
    I won't.
[12:40] ---
    You don't know your real father, and
    your biological mother committed suicide.
[12:45] ---
    On top of being handed off
    from one family to another,
[12:48] ---
    you weren't able to bond with
    your adopted parents.
[12:52] ---
    You grew up in a cold household,
    but still tried to be strong and normal.
[12:55] ---
    Being able to fulfill that,
    you're so out of luck!
[13:01] ---
    You have bad luck.
    Such misfortune!
[13:03] ---
    But who cares about that!
[13:07] ---
    You don't have to feel pain
    just because you're unfortunate.
[13:11] ---
    You don't have to sulk
    just because you're not lucky.
[13:15] ---
    Even if something bad happens,
    you can be cheerful!
[13:18] ---
    HANEKAWA
[13:18] ---
    You'll just go home like nothing happened...
[13:23] ---
    ...then spend your days with your parents who
    were just discharged like nothing has changed.
[13:30] ---
    I guarantee you'll never be able to
    reconcile with them for the rest of your life.
[13:34] ---
    Even if you're happy
    in the future, it's no use.
[13:37] ---
    Regardless of how happy you become,
    the failed past will never disappear.
[13:41] ---
    You'll remember once you forget.
    And dream about it for the rest of your life!
[13:44] ---
    We are forever going
    to see the nightmare!
[13:47] ---
    Nothing will change in reality!
[13:51] ---
    Won't change...
[13:52] ---
    I definitely won't sympathize with you.
[13:57] ---
    Don't make the cat the reason.
    Don't make the apparition an excuse.
[14:00] ---
    Don't grow using misfortune
    as a stepping stone.
[14:02] ---
    Even if you do, you'll just
    end up scratching yourself.
[14:07] ---
    WEREN'T YOU GONNA
[14:07] ---
    There isn't actually an apparition.
[14:08] ---
    HELP SET ME STRAIGHT
[14:09] ---
    IF YOU STRAY FROM THE RIGHT PATH
[14:09] ---
    That's the lie!
[14:10] ---
    WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
[14:12] ---
    If you want to relieve stress,
    then I'll take all that on for you.
[14:16] ---
    I'll touch your breasts all the time,
    and I'll look at you in your lingerie anytime.
[14:21] ---
    So be patient.
    I'll make time for you anytime.
[14:27] ---
    Because I'm your friend.
[14:32] ---
    Araragi-kun, you are seriously the worst.
    You make my head throb.
[14:37] ---
    You can become the star
    but not a hero.
[14:41] ---
    I can't even become the star.
    I can only become a vampire.
[14:46] ---
    I MISSED THE CHANCE EVEN TO BE ONE
[14:48] ---
    I see...
[14:49] ---
    ARARAGI-KUN
[14:49] ---
    You won't become my hero.
[14:53] ---
    You won't become it.
[14:55] ---
    I've been thinking this for a while,
    but, Araragi-kun, the truth is you hate me, right?
[15:01] ---
    Yeah. The truth is
    I hate you so much, Hanekawa.
[15:08] ---
    I see...
[15:10] ---
    The truth is I hate you
    so much too, Araragi-kun.
[15:17] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[15:22] ---
    Die...
[15:23] ---
    Die...
[15:24] ---
    Die...
[15:26] ---
    Die...
[15:27] ---
    Die...
[15:28] ---
    Die...
[15:30] ---
    Die...
[15:31] ---
    Die...
[15:32] ---
    Die...
[15:33] ---
    Die...
[15:34] ---
    Die...
[15:35] ---
    Die...
[15:36] ---
    Die...
[15:37] ---
    Die...
[15:38] ---
    Die...
[15:39] ---
    Die...
[15:40] ---
    Die...
[15:41] ---
    Die...
[15:43] ---
    I should just die.
[15:46] ---
    Meow.
[15:54] ---
    It's wonderful that you
    will take on all of my stress.
[16:00] ---
    Then is it okay to kill you?
[16:03] ---
    Yeah. What satisfaction.
[16:06] ---
    I want to die
    being killed by you.
[16:08] ---
    I see...
[16:08] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[16:09] ---
    Then die.
[16:34] ---
    Ouch!
[16:36] ---
    It hurts!
[16:36] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[16:45] ---
    Araragi-kun! What... what did you do to me!
[16:53] ---
    You hid the sword in your body?
[16:56] ---
    Yeah, I swallowed it in advance.
[17:00] ---
    Just like an old-school
    magician from back in the day.
[17:07] ---
    B-But, Araragi-kun... this pain!
[17:12] ---
    Yeah, it doesn't hurt
    the actual you, right?
[17:16] ---
    That sword's called an apparition killer.
[17:19] ---
    It's a sword I borrowed from
    a vampire that only cuts apparitions.
[17:23] ---
    It didn't cut you, only the
    Sawari Neko embedded inside of you.
[17:28] ---
    APPARITION KILLER
    ONLY KILLS THE APPARITION
[17:28] ---
    Th-There can't be a
    nonsense sword like that...
[17:33] ---
    Yeah, you didn't know, right?
[17:36] ---
    Even a pro like Oshino didn't know he had
    such a crazy thing till right before this.
[17:44] ---
    As they say, it's a sword
    that transcends the human intellect.
[17:49] ---
    Something even Oshino-san wouldn't know...
[17:53] ---
    If you knew the existence
    of this killer item,
[17:56] ---
    you never would've fallen
    into a trap like this.
[18:00] ---
    This was just my
    wishful thinking, though.
[18:05] ---
    Because, in the worst case, you may have
    known of the existence of that sword.
[18:11] ---
    I'm glad, Hanekawa.
[18:13] ---
    You don't necessarily
    know everything, do you?
[18:20] ---
    Then you shouldn't give things up,
    acting like you know everything.
[18:26] ---
    Don't say stupid things
    like "I should just die!"
[18:29] ---
    There's still so much
    you don't know about!
[18:33] ---
    So, just say, "I don't know everything.
    I only know what I know," like usual!
[18:43] ---
    I will die.
[18:44] ---
    I will die, being killed by Hanekawa.
    I will die for Hanekawa.

[18:48] ---
    Oh man...
[18:50] ---
    What happiness.
[18:54] ---
    I know I'm doing
    such a foolish thing.

[18:58] ---
    There is no meaning to this.
[19:00] ---
    I can kill the Sawari Neko
    with the apparition killer,

[19:03] ---
    but that doesn't mean
    Hanekawa's stress will be relieved,

[19:07] ---
    and her family problems
    won't disappear.

[19:09] ---
    If this result was what was needed,
    Oshino would have taken care of it on the first try.

[19:15] ---
    The second bit of advice Oshino was going
    to give me was most likely along this line.

[19:21] ---
    But it's fine this way.
[19:23] ---
    I'm not necessarily
    meaning to save you, Hanekawa.

[19:28] ---
    Even if it's meaningless and a waste,
    I want to die for you. That's all.

[19:33] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[19:46] ---
    Because the sword separated
    Hanekawa and the Sawari Neko,
[19:50] ---
    they're having a problem
    with the unification.
[19:58] ---
    What are you doing, cat?
[20:01] ---
    What are you doing
    hurting Hanekawa?
[20:03] ---
    The reason why you did
    all those things for Hanekawa...
[20:07] ---
    ...was because she never sympathized with you
    when you were dead on the street, wasn't it?
[20:13] ---
    ARARAGI KOYOMI
[20:13] ---
    That's how it was with me too.
[20:15] ---
    VAMPIRE
[20:15] ---
    Even to me, who was attacked
    by a vampire and no longer human...
[20:16] ---
    HUMAN
[20:18] ---
    ARARAGI KOYOMI
[20:19] ---
    Hanekawa never sympathized
    with me and looked down on me.
[20:20] ---
    HANEKAWA TSUBASA
[20:21] ---
    CLASSMATE
[20:22] ---
    CLASS PRESIDENT
[20:24] ---
    She looked at me as her equal.
[20:24] ---
    LIFE SAVER
[20:26] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[20:26] ---
    Isn't that right, Sawari Neko?
[20:28] ---
    Regardless if you're dead on
    the street or attacked by a vampire...
[20:32] ---
    We're not pitiful, right?
[20:35] ---
    You liked Hanekawa
    for who she was, right?
[20:40] ---
    So... So stop attacking
    Hanekawa in that way!
[20:44] ---
    Stop... Stop it...
[20:46] ---
    Please stop it!
[20:47] ---
    YELLOW SCENE
[20:47] ---
    Are you an idiot, my servant?
[20:52] ---
    Of course the machine is going to
    be damaged if you turn it off roughly.
[20:57] ---
    I HEARD
[20:58] ---
    How could you use my precious sword
    in such a rash way?
[21:02] ---
    Such an apparition sashimi presentation...
[21:04] ---
    ...makes me laugh.
[21:06] ---
    AN AUDITORY HALLUCINATION
[21:27] ---
    Gosh, just like usual, this servant
    only sees what is right in front of his eyes.
[21:33] ---
    After you let me live without my consent,
    don't think you can die without my consent!
[21:38] ---
    Idiot.
[21:39] ---
    I'll show you an example, so watch.
[21:41] ---
    BE FASCINATED
[21:41] ---
    Be fascinated.
[21:43] ---
    Watch. Apparition killing
    is done like so.
[22:13] ---
    It's okay, right?
[22:15] ---
    It's okay, right, Hanekawa?
[22:18] ---
    We're all worthless, but...
[22:21] ---
    We're all really unfortunate,
    can't repay anything, can't undo anything, but...
[22:26] ---
    We're like this for life,
    but that's fine, right?
[22:32] ---
    There's no way it's fine.
[22:36] ---
    MAY 8TH
[22:57] ---
    The next day, I left the house
    on my bike without eating breakfast.

[23:03] ---
    I had somewhere to stop
    before going to school.

[23:24] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[23:24] ---
    Well...
[23:27] ---
    I can't pet her like that.
[23:29] ---
    Oh, that? Little Miss Vampire
    begged me for it.
[23:33] ---
    Well, it's as if she was the one
    who solved everything with the cat,
[23:37] ---
    so I gave it to her as a reward.
[23:40] ---
    Like disappointment,
    it was a fleeting hope.
[23:44] ---
    By the way Oshino, about Hanekawa.
[23:47] ---
    Is everything okay?
[23:50] ---
    Yeah, it's okay. I guarantee it.
[23:52] ---
    Class Prez doesn't remember
    anything about this Golden Week.
[23:57] ---
    Her memories as Black Hanekawa...
[24:01] ---
    ...are completely lost.
[24:03] ---
    Black Hanekawa? What's that?
[24:06] ---
    Class Prez in that form.
[24:08] ---
    SHE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE NAME, BUT
[24:08] ---
    It's not quite right to call that a Sawari Neko.
[24:11] ---
    THE NAME DOESN'T LIVE UP TO HER, EITHER
[24:11] ---
    IT FITS HER EXACTLY
[24:11] ---
    A new breed needs a new name.
[24:13] ---
    THE NAME EXPRESSES THE BODY
[24:14] ---
    A new, modern-age demon.
[24:16] ---
    Black Hanekawa.
[24:16] ---
    BLACK HANEKAWA
[24:18] ---
    You have lame taste
    when it comes to names.
[24:20] ---
    SO BLACK SO BLACK SO BLACK
     HANEKAWA TSUBASA
[24:22] ---
    Once she energy drained her parents,
    it seems like her consciousness came back.
[24:27] ---
    I guess on that point
    maybe her wish was fulfilled?
[24:32] ---
    Wish...
[24:33] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[24:33] ---
    But it went right back.
[24:35] ---
    The correct thing to say might be,
    the Class prez wished so hard,
[24:38] ---
    the cat was pulled back and completely
    taken in as it was separating from her.
[24:44] ---
    At that moment, a new apparition,
    Black Hanekawa, was born.
[24:49] ---
    OPPORTUNISM AND IDEALISM
[24:51] ---
    HE PASSED THE BUCK LIKE
    "LET'S MAKE IT THE DEMON'S FAULT"
[24:53] ---
    I COULDN'T EVEN DIE FOR HANEKAWA
[24:55] ---
    Oshino, if you say it's
    a new breed of demons,
[24:58] ---
    maybe Hanekawa was possessed
    by a demon called family?
[25:03] ---
    Family, huh?
[25:05] ---
    But to her, they weren't family, right?
[25:09] ---
    For exactly that reason,
    maybe for her
[25:11] ---
    the family was an apparition
    this whole time.
[25:15] ---
    I wonder...
[25:21] ---
    But whether she became a cat or not...
[25:25] ---
    Hanekawa will remain as herself.
    That makes me think about many things.
[25:29] ---
    WHITE SCENE
[25:30] ---
    Why don't you marry her?
[25:32] ---
    I mean, why don't you marry Class Prez?
[25:37] ---
    Then she can have the family
    she's never been able to have.
[25:42] ---
    No, that's a bad joke, Oshino.
[25:46] ---
    Really? I think it's a great idea.
[25:49] ---
    I think it's an equal exchange for what
    Class Prez did for you during spring break.
[25:56] ---
    There's Hanekawa's feelings too.
[25:59] ---
    Of course there is.
[26:02] ---
    Because there's a feeling, you're charmed.
[26:05] ---
    You can become a victim,
    a perpetrator, or an apparition too.
[26:15] ---
    But, Araragi-kun, you have
    feelings too, don't you?
[26:19] ---
    My feelings...
[26:21] ---
    I assumed that you were
    in love with Class Prez.
[26:29] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[26:29] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[26:32] ---
    I'm not in love with Hanekawa.
[26:36] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[26:38] ---
    You heard me.
[26:39] ---
    Let's keep it as that.
[26:41] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[26:42] ---
    That's the happiest situation.
[26:45] ---
    If you're fine with that, so am I.
[26:48] ---
    Well, your feelings aside,
    Class Prez's feelings are more important.
[26:54] ---
    Regardless of what the Sawari Neko did,
    and what you've done,
[26:59] ---
    people are saved on their own.
[27:02] ---
    Plus, Hanekawa wasn't
    seeking help anyway.
[27:06] ---
    I wish she had sought my help, though.
[27:09] ---
    If Hanekawa relied on me,
    I would have done anything.
[27:14] ---
    She may have unexpectedly
    been seeking it.
[27:17] ---
    Huh?
[27:19] ---
    Just because she didn't say "help me"
    doesn't mean she didn't seek help.
[27:24] ---
    Just like you don't like someone
    unless you say "I like you."
[27:28] ---
    There's a word you can't just
    lightly say to anyone, right, Araragi-kun?
[27:37] ---
    I'm not worried.
[27:39] ---
    I have confidence that I can smile back to
    Hanekawa who will smile to me as usual.

[27:44] ---
    After all, I don't love Hanekawa at all.
[27:49] ---
    I'll never say that I love her
    for the rest of my life.

[27:55] ---
    Hanekawa...
[27:57] ---
    Hanekawa...
[27:58] ---
    Hanekawa-san...
[28:00] ---
    One day, I will love
    someone other than you.

[28:04] ---
    I'll love someone else
    for the first time in my life.

[28:08] ---
    You've taught me how
    to care about someone.

[28:12] ---
    There will be a day that I fall
    in love with someone other than you.

[28:19] ---
    But these nine golden days
    that you have forgotten...

[28:24] ---
    ...regretfully, I think I'll remember
    for a long time and never forget.

[28:30] ---
    Regardless of what kind of
    future is waiting for me...

[28:34] ---
    Regardless of what kind of future
    I'll be facing, this feeling born inside of me...

[28:38] ---
    ...will never change and be forgotten
    as if it never happened.

[28:43] ---
    So just like that, during the Golden Week
    of my third year in high school,

[28:48] ---
    in May of my 18th year...
[28:50] ---
    ...Araragi Koyomi lost love even
    though it was not even his first love.

[28:55] ---
    I climb the stairs.
[28:58] ---
    Nekomonogatari

[28:58] ---
    Tsubasa Family
[28:58] ---
    WITH THAT, FIN
[29:18] ---
    Even so, we may laugh sensibly
[29:18] ---
    Sore demo bokutachi wa shimeshi awaseta youni

    as if we planned in advance
[29:23] ---
    Monowakari yoku warau darou

    replacing our sighs with deep breaths,
[29:34] ---
    without making excuse
    for any awkwardness
[29:34] ---
    Tsutanasa no iiwake mo sezu ni
[29:39] ---
    I will keep on waiting
    until you wish for something
[29:39] ---
    Kimi ga nozomu koto wo zutto matte iruyo

    If I said it’s not too late,
    do I sound like I’m lying?
[29:50] ---
    Mada maniau to ieba uso ni naruno kana
[30:00] ---
    It’s not that I want to be saved
[30:00] ---
    Sukuware tai wake ja nai
[30:03] ---
    It’s not that I want to be rewarded
[30:03] ---
    Mukuware tai wake ja nai
[30:06] ---
    All I want is to scream, broken as I am
[30:06] ---
    Koware souni tada sakebitai dake
[30:11] ---
    That’s what I am always praying for
[30:11] ---
    Itsu datte negatterunda
[30:14] ---
    Bittersweet interference
[30:14] ---
    Horo nigai INTERFERENCE
[30:17] ---
    A daydream which vanishes
    on the borderline when touched
[30:17] ---
    Kyoukaisenjou de fureta kieru DAYDREAM
[30:31] ---
    Time for a preview hallucination.
[30:33] ---
    Ever heard of the "Shiban Mushi (bug)?"
[30:35] ---
    In Japanese writing,
    it means "death" and "guard,"
[30:37] ---
    and in English, it's called
    the "death watch beetle."
[30:40] ---
    Its name is way too cool
    in both Japanese and English!
[30:43] ---
    The sound it makes sounds
    like the ticking of a clock,
[30:45] ---
    which some take as the countdown
    toward death, thus "death" and "guard."
[30:50] ---
    That clock is so out of this world!
[30:53] ---
    Next episode, "Tsubasa Tiger, Part 1."
[30:56] ---
    Come to think of it,
    my servant deserves death.
