    You're extra put-together today, huh?
[00:22] Kazuya
    Today's the curation meeting!
[00:24] Jun
    Huh?! You're going to that?

[02:34] Michitaka
    You're attending the curation meeting?
[02:35] Kazuya
    Yeah!
[02:36] Michitaka
    Observing is fine, but I've never
    heard of an Artist participating.
[02:40] Jun
    Kazuya, do you know what
    they do at a curation meeting?
[02:45] Jun
    Here. This is the art museum.
[02:48] Jun
    Graders talk about where they'll put
    their pieces and how they'll be displayed.
[02:55] Kazuya
    I know.
[02:57] Kazuya
    But we're creators, too.
[02:59] Kazuya
    Don't you want to help decide stuff like that?
[03:02] Jun
    A bunch of extra people at a serious
     meeting will just get in the way.
[03:12] Kazuya
    Kyo! Morning!
[03:14] Kazuya
    Hey—
[03:15] Kyo
    No.
[03:16] Kazuya
    I didn't say anything yet!
[03:19] Kyo
    You don't need to.
[03:21] Kyo
    You want to participate, right?
[03:24] Kyo
    Just behave and leave this to me.
[03:28] Kyo
    Have you ever seen a curation meeting?
[03:31] Kazuya
    No...
[03:32] Kyo
    Then go observe on the second floor.
[03:35] Kyo
    Don't worry.
[03:36] Kyo
    I'll do my job as your Grader.
[03:42] Daiki
    Oh man...
[03:46] Daiki
    I can't believe you found this, Rio-kun.
[03:50] Yanagi
    Perception Art drawn without permission,
    known as Scribble...
[03:55] Yanagi
    We would've missed it
    if not for Nakashizu's bad habit.
[03:58] Yanagi
    Speaking of, Nakashizu...
[04:01] Yanagi
    I told you to stop using
    Contacts on a daily basis.
[04:18] Daiki
    Have you already reported this to the school?
[04:21] Yanagi
    Yeah, they've asked us
    to find the culprit ASAP.
[04:25] Daiki
    Us?
[04:27] Yanagi
    Maintaining order on school grounds
    is also part of the Generals' job.
[04:31] Daiki
    I don't wanna.
[04:33] Daiki
    I mean, it's bad if unauthorized data clogs
    the supported space and fills up the cache,
[04:38] Daiki
    but it'll be gone before long anyway, right?
[04:41] Daiki
    Isn't it soon?
[04:43] Daiki
    The general update of the supported space?
[04:46] Yanagi
    That doesn't make it okay.
[04:48] Yanagi
    The offense is still a problem.
[04:50] Nakashizu
    Daiki.
[04:52] Nakashizu
    I'm leaving the rest to you.
[04:53] Daiki
    Huh?!
[04:54] Daiki
    I have to find the culprit?!
[04:56] Daiki
    By myself?!
[04:58] Nakashizu
    I'm curious about who drew this.
[05:06] Nakashizu
    Do your best.
[05:10] Daiki
    Mako-chan!
[05:12] Yanagi
    I have to go to the meeting.
[05:14] Daiki
    I always get stuck with this stuff!
[05:22] Yanagi
    This is unusual.
[05:23] Yanagi
    I didn't think you were interested
    in any Artists other than yourself.
[05:27] Nakashizu
    That Scribble was a primal scream.
[05:31] Nakashizu
    Ever since ancient times,
[05:33] Nakashizu
    people have locked secret
    convictions away in their hearts
[05:38] Nakashizu
    and painted emotions threatening
    to burst out onto walls.
[05:42] Nakashizu
    Even when erased or destroyed,
[05:44] Nakashizu
    they do it everywhere, over and over.
[05:47] Nakashizu
    Creating this off campus is a scream.
[05:52] Nakashizu
    It's an Artist's conviction.
[05:54] Yanagi
    But Perception Art must be strictly managed
[05:59] Yanagi
    to avoid unnecessary criticism.
[06:02] Yanagi
    Try to understand the school's concerns, too.
[06:05] Nakashizu
    That's just like you, Makoto.
    Always so proper.
[06:09] Nakashizu
    I want to see the desires
    of the person who drew that Scribble.
[06:15] Nakashizu
    That's all.
[06:17] Yanagi
    There's your other bad habit.
[06:28] Yanagi
    Pardon.
[06:30] Yanagi
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:37] Yanagi
    Now then, let us begin the curation
    for this year's Staircaser Contest.
[06:43] Yanagi
    First, I'll describe each
    possible display space briefly.
[06:48] Yanagi
    These are the spots available for general
    exhibits on each side of the entrance.
[06:54] Yanagi
    There are four of them,
[06:55] Yanagi
    each with its own size, shape, and lighting.

    Display Space 6
[06:59] Yanagi
    Visitors will view the pieces
    in numerical order.
[07:02] Yanagi
    In other words, the piece
    displayed in location number 1
[07:05] Yanagi
    will be the first Perception Art
    judges see in this contest.
[07:09] Yanagi
    Locations 2 and 3 have
    a lot of natural light.
[07:12] Yanagi
    And Location 4 has large pillars
    in the middle, as you can see.
[07:17] Yanagi
    Use these to show off the visual
     effects of your Perception Art.
[07:21] Yanagi
    In the back of the museum is the
    main exhibition space, the staircase.
[07:26] Yanagi
    Two pieces will be displayed here.
[07:28] Yanagi
    It won't affect judging,
[07:30] Yanagi
    but they'll leave more of an impression
    and become the face of the exhibition.
[07:37] Yanagi
    Yura Takumi.
[07:39] Takumi
    We should decide the location
    of Haijima Iori's Perception Art first.
[07:46] Kazuya
    Scary!
[07:47] Jun
    He's brave!
[07:48] Yuichi
    Is that guy serious?!
[07:51] Mashu
    Is there a reason you assert that?
[07:53] Takumi
    Haijima Iori has already received
    a certain level of recognition as a pro.
[07:57] Takumi
    His work is highly
    anticipated on social media.
[08:00] Takumi
    The promotional school magazine
    even had a special feature dedicated to him.
[08:06] Kazuya
    Kyo and I had a special feature, too...
[08:09] Yanagi
    Does anyone have any objections?
[08:17] Kazuya
    You're not gonna say anything?
[08:19] Chiharu
    So, where does Haijima Iori's great
    partner wish to display his work?
[08:25] Takumi
    Location 6.
[08:26] Takumi
    We assumed this would be our space from
    the beginning of the design process,
[08:31] Takumi
    so it's the only place our piece can
     be displayed as intended.
[08:34] Kazuya
    Was the best spot just taken?
[08:37] Yuichi
    One of them.
[08:39] Kazuya
    Freakin' Kyo hasn't said a word yet!
[08:42] Jun
    Don't you think he has his own strategy?
[08:49] Yanagi
    Then, Team Haijima Iori and Yura Takumi's
    piece will be displayed in location 6.
[08:55] Yanagi
    It's decided.
[08:56] Sign
    Team Haijima & Yura
[08:59] Mashu
    In terms of popularity,
[09:01] Mashu
    Mikuriya Kaede's pieces are also famous
    inside and outside of school, in a sense.
[09:05] Mashu
    His art isn't easily understood by everyone,
[09:09] Mashu
    but his structure, use of color,
    and esoteric design...
[09:12] Kohei
    Is that praise?
[09:14] Mashu
    They can arouse interest and anticipation
    for the show that's about to start.
[09:20] Mashu
    For this reason, I would like to
    display our piece in location 1.
[09:25] Kazuya
    Location 1? Not 5?
[09:27] Chiharu
    You want to avoid direct
    competition with Iori, huh?
[09:30] Mashu
    How we immerse the viewer is what's
    important for this competition, no?
[09:35] Mashu
    With Kaede's piece, we expect
    the introduction to make an impact.
[09:39] Chiharu
    But it's not done yet, is it?
[09:42] Kazuya/Jun/Yuichi
    What?!
[09:43] Sign
    Work in Progress
[09:46] Mashu
    Even if Kaede has been known to work
    until the last second before an exhibition,
[09:50] Mashu
    he's never not turned in a piece.
[09:52] Chiharu
    Even so, isn't it risky to put something
    that doesn't exist yet in the first spot?
[09:57] Chiharu
    The contest starts tomorrow.
[09:59] Mashu
    If he doesn't finish,
    Kaede will disembowel himself.
[10:03] Kazuya/Jun/Yuichi
    His life's on the line
    without a say in the matter.
[10:05] Mashu
    Or is it that you all
    want the first spot, too?
[10:11] Chiharu
    That's not it.
[10:13] Chiharu
    Ikaruga's piece is too calm,
    so it wouldn't be good up front.
[10:17] Chiharu
    The first piece often defines
    the color of the contest.
[10:21] Kohei
    Its color?
[10:22] Chiharu
    Even if this is a contest,
    we still need a concept.
[10:25] Chiharu
    I'm just saying that the first piece
     should showcase that.
[10:29] Jun
    Sakaki-senpai's trying to keep
    an eccentric piece from being first.
[10:35] Jun
    Probably because it would keep
     his team from standing out.
[10:39] Kyo
    In that case, what about putting
    my team's Perception Art first?
[10:44] Chiharu
    Oh?
[10:45] Chiharu
    It's unusual for you to sing your
    own praises, isn't it, Takise?
[10:49] Kyo
    The piece is by the son of the Yamanashis.
[10:52] Kyo
    There's no denying
    the attention it will bring.
[10:55] Kyo
    How about it, Kirinoe?
[10:57] Kyo
    For Mikuriya's piece, you don't even know
    how much space you'll need yet, right?
[11:02] Kyo
    Location 5 has great height,
[11:03] Kyo
    and even if it's a tight squeeze,
    there should be room to adjust.
[11:08] Chiharu
    So you've got a plan, Takise?
[11:10] Kyo
    Start with the first-years'
    rough but passionate pieces.
[11:15] Kyo
    Then move on to the third-years' more
    technically adept pieces in the back.
[11:18] Kyo
    If we do that,
    we won't lose the initial impact
[11:22] Kyo
    or have a weak ending.
[11:24] Kyo
    An exhibit needs a story.
[11:26] Kyo
    With all the talent we have this year,
    we can pull off this exhibition plan.
[11:32] Michitaka
    I second Takise-senpai's idea.
[11:35] Kohei
    Me too.
[11:36] Kohei
    Although I don't want
    to be near Haijima's piece...
[11:40] Chiharu
    I see. But this is unexpected.
[11:44] Kyo
    What is?
[11:45] Chiharu
    I thought you were against using
    the Yamanashi brand as a selling point.
[11:51] Kyo
    That was when I was deciding on a partner,
[11:53] Kyo
    but it's not something
    that I'd force on a viewer.
[11:56] Kyo
    We should look at the demand objectively
[11:58] Kyo
    and use it for promotion.
[12:00] Chiharu
    Oh?
[12:01] Kyo
    Besides...
[12:03] Kyo
    As a Grader, I have faith
    in Yamanashi Kazuya's Perception Art.
[12:08] Kyo
    I don't think there'll be a better piece
    to start the show with.
[12:13] Chiharu
    Okay, I'm in.
[12:15] Chiharu
    Kirinoe?
[12:17] Mashu
    Competing directly with Haijima?
[12:20] Mashu
    I suppose that's fine.
[12:22] Yanagi
    Then it's decided.
[12:24] Kazuya
    Jun...
[12:24] Jun
    Hmm?
[12:26] Kazuya
    Graders are amazing!
[12:30] Yuichi
    Kazuya! Jun!
[12:33] Yuichi
    They talked about Haijima-senpai's
    Perception Art so much...
[12:36] Yuichi
    Don't you wanna see it?
[12:38] Jun
    I do!
[12:39] Kazuya
    Hey!
[12:40] Jun
    You don't wanna?

    Was that Yamanashi Kazuya-kun just now?
[13:23] Yuichi

[13:27] Jun
    Aren't we here to see Haijima-senpai's?
[13:29] Kazuya
    Wow, it's really good!
[13:35] Kazuya
    But there's something...
[13:37] Yuichi
    What is it?
[13:38] Kazuya
    Were you fighting with Kohei
    when you made this?
[13:43] Yuichi
    Oh, yeah, we weren't
    on the best terms at the time,
[13:47] Yuichi
    so I might've been a little on edge.
[13:49] Yuichi
    Wait, how did you know that?
[13:53] Jun
    Kazuya has a nose for this stuff!
[13:55] Jun
    I can't explain it, though.
[13:57] Yuichi
    Huh?
[14:00] Daiki
    Is it something... spiritual?
[14:03] Yanagi

[14:06] Daiki

[15:26] Kazuya

    Um... I'm at the station with Jun.
[15:48] Kyo
    Are you on your way?
[15:49] Kazuya
    Well, all the visitors today
    are judges, right?
[15:53] Kazuya
    I thought it'd be hard for them to score
    if the Artist was right there...
[15:56] Kyo
    Are you an idiot?
[15:58] Kyo
    This is your first major work, right?
[16:00] Kyo
    You need to see how they react to
    your Perception Art with your own eyes.
[16:08] Kyo
    Come to the museum immediately.
[16:10] Kyo
    See the judges' reactions
    and learn from them.
[16:16] Kazuya
    Okay, I will!
[16:19] Kazuya
    Let's go, Jun!
[16:20] Jun
    Right...
[16:22] Jun
    Honestly, he's got a one-track
    mind when it comes to Kyo.
[16:53] Daiki
    Hey, Yamanashi-kun.
[16:55] Kazuya
    Hello...
[16:56] Daiki
    I've been looking for you.
[16:58] Daiki
    Did you just get here?
[16:59] Kazuya
    Yes.
[17:00] Kazuya
    Er, why were you looking for me?
[17:02] Daiki
    It's personal.
[17:04] Kazuya
    Are you and the other
    Generals already judging?
[17:06] Daiki
    No, I'm just here for fun.
[17:09] Daiki
    My little brother is exhibiting, too.
[17:11] Kazuya
    Your little brother?
[17:14] Daiki
    He really doesn't feel that
    spiritual to me at all...
[17:17] Kazuya
    Huh? Spiritual?
[17:19] Daiki
    More importantly, you looked really happy.
[17:22] Daiki
    Did something happen?
[17:27] Kazuya
    Oh, I wasn't sure if I should show up.
[17:31] Kazuya
    But my partner told me to come
    and learn from the experience.
[17:34] Daiki
    Are you the type to actually care
    what others say?
[17:37] Kazuya
    It's not that I don't care...
[17:40] Kazuya
    But after seeing the visitors,
[17:43] Kazuya
    I felt like I wanted more people
    to see my pieces.
[17:48] Kazuya
    I was so happy that Perception Art
    I made could make people smile.
[17:55] Daiki
    That's pretty good.
[17:56] Kazuya
    Huh?
[17:57] Daiki
    Nothing. I like it, too!
[18:01] Daiki
    I like your Perception Art.
[18:03] Kazuya
    It's not just mine.

[19:57] Kazuya
    Sorry, Jun.
[19:59] Kazuya
    I'm going to sleep.
[20:07] (Flashback) Jun
    You're not gonna say anything to Kazuya?
[20:10] (Flashback) Kyo
    No.
[20:12] (Flashback) Jun

[20:15] (Flashback) Kyo
    It's fine.

    Huh?

[20:51] Daiki
    Are you free right now?
[20:55] Kazuya
    Scribble?
[20:57] Daiki
    Yeah.
[20:58] Daiki
