KAEDE
[00:02] ---
Kaede, you should get up soon.
Breakfast will be ready.
[00:10] ---
Wh-Who are you?
[00:11] ---
Huh?
[00:12] ---
Eh? Where is this place?
[00:14] ---
I...
[00:16] ---
What is this?
[00:18] ---
Kaede?
[01:51] ---
Kaede-san's symptoms could be those
of a type of dissociative disorder.
[01:55] ---
Dissociative disorder?
[01:57] ---
An illness where there is a loss of sense
and awareness that you are yourself.
[02:02] ---
As is the case with Kaede-san,
[02:05] ---
patients experience symptoms
including omission or memory loss.
[02:10] ---
Currently, she has no memories of living
with her parents or big brother to now.
[02:16] ---
Why would such a...
[02:18] ---
It's believed that extreme stress or
mental trauma can cause this.
[02:23] ---
Kaede developed Puberty Syndrome due to
people badmouthing her on social media, right?
[02:31] ---
Correct.
[02:32] ---
It caused Kaede to suffer.
[02:33] ---
DIE, KAEDE
[02:35] ---
So much that she decided to sever a part
of her memory to escape that crushing feeling.
[02:42] ---
She did so to protect from
being totally broken.
[02:45] ---
So that's why it's dissociative...
[02:47] ---
When Kaede lost her memory,
I didn't know how to interact with her.
[02:51] ---
At first, I was hesitant...
[02:54] ---
Kaede, I brought you a book.
[02:56] ---
You were looking forward to
the new volume of this series.
[02:59] ---
Here.
[03:00] ---
Th-Thank you very much.
[03:03] ---
Um... So "Kaede-san" really liked these books?
[03:10] ---
The way she talks is different.
[03:12] ---
How she holds chopsticks is different.
[03:14] ---
The order she eats her dishes is different.
[03:17] ---
She buttons her pajamas from the top.
[03:20] ---
The way she walks is different.
[03:21] ---
She's different from Kaede...
[03:23] ---
Different... Different...
Everything about her is different.
[03:29] ---
I'm home.
[03:30] ---
Welcome home.
[03:35] ---
Mom! Kaede has...
She has bruises all over her body again!
[03:40] ---
Oh, I see...
[03:43] ---
It's all right, Kaede...
[03:47] ---
You'll be all right...
[03:49] ---
Mom wasn't able to accept
what happened to Kaede.
[03:51] ---
It's fine, you'll be fine, Kaede.
[03:53] ---
And she ended up with mental illness herself.
[03:56] ---
And as for me...
[04:07] ---
At the hospital I was brought to,
nobody would believe my story.
[04:12] ---
No matter how much I explained, they thought
it was a preconception, something mental,
[04:16] ---
and that the wounds were self-inflicted.
[04:19] ---
I couldn't do anything.
[04:22] ---
I couldn't do anything for Kaede.
[04:25] ---
I was sick of everything,
and snuck out of hospital one day.
[04:29] ---
That was when I met her.
[04:33] ---
Did you know?
[04:35] ---
The distance to the horizon seen at eye level
is roughly four kilometers.
[04:42] ---
Shoko-san quietly listened to my story,
and believed every bit of it.
[04:48] ---
From then on, I snuck out of the hospital
time and time again.
[04:53] ---
Shoko-san was always there
at Shichirigahama Beach.
[04:58] ---
Were you thinking about
your little sister again?
[05:01] ---
I was thinking about you, Shoko-san.
[05:03] ---
I see. You were having lewd thoughts.
[05:05] ---
That's not it.
[05:07] ---
I was wondering why you
believed what I said.
[05:11] ---
About Kaede's wounds, my scar,
and Puberty Syndrome.
[05:16] ---
No matter what I said,
nobody would listen to me seriously.
[05:19] ---
Nobody believes what I've seen
with my own eyes.
[05:24] ---
There are as many worlds to see
as there are people in them, I'm sure.
[05:29] ---
Just like how the horizon you can see
is further than the horizon I can see.
[05:36] ---
Same for the ocean breeze.
[05:38] ---
Some will say it feels refreshing...
[05:40] ---
while others say they dislike it because
it makes their skin and hair feel sticky.
[05:45] ---
I think it was some sort of fate
that brought us together,
[05:47] ---
so as a senpai in life,
I'll give you some wonderful advice.
[05:51] ---
Do people normally say "wonderful"
for their own stuff?
[05:55] ---
I didn't have a big dream or
high hopes for my life, either.
[06:01] ---
But I was still able to
find meaning for my own life.
[06:06] ---
What I think, Sakuta-kun...
[06:08] ---
...is that life is here for us to become kinder.
[06:12] ---
To become kinder...
[06:15] ---
I live life every day hoping that I'm a
slightly kinder person than I was the day before.
[06:32] ---
You know what, Shoko-san...
[06:35] ---
What is it?
[06:36] ---
Is it okay to live my life like you do?
[06:40] ---
Of course it is.
[06:42] ---
Now that you know of pain
that others cannot understand,
[06:46] ---
I'm sure you can become kinder
than anyone else.
[06:49] ---
And I'm sure you can be supportive
of someone else.
[06:54] ---
These values were unknown to me.
[06:56] ---
KAEDE
[06:57] ---
When I was released from the hospital,
I bought a pen and notebook on the way home.
[07:03] ---
What's this?
[07:04] ---
The doctor said yesterday how
you should write some stuff.
[07:07] ---
What happened that day,
what you thought. It can be anything.
[07:12] ---
Okay...
[07:13] ---
We should start with your name.
[07:14] ---
All right.
[07:16] ---
Oh, hold on.
[07:18] ---
Yes?
[07:19] ---
About your name...
[07:20] ---
It's all right. I can write it properly.
[07:23] ---
"Kaede" is spelled like "Flower,"
followed with "Maple" like the tree, right?
[07:27] ---
We should write "Kaede" in all hiragana.
[07:29] ---
Hiragana?
[07:31] ---
The person here right now
is the current "Kaede."
[07:37] ---
Sorry for everything 'til now.
[07:41] ---
I-It's only you, Big Brother!
[07:44] ---
You're the only one who understands Kaede!
[07:56] ---
KAEDE AZUSAGAWA
[07:57] ---
I'm trusting you with Kaede.
[07:59] ---
And you take care of Mom, Dad.
[08:01] ---
Yeah...
[08:03] ---
Kaede.
[08:05] ---
Take your time.
You don't have to over do it.
[08:09] ---
Mom and I will be waiting for you.
[08:14] ---
Kaede is afraid of how everyone looks at her.
[08:18] ---
Everyone is looking at "Kaede-san."
[08:21] ---
Of course, I wanted Kaede's
memories to return, too.
[08:25] ---
I wanted her to come back to us.
[08:28] ---
But, if that came to be,
what would happen to the current Kaede?
[08:34] ---
That's the whole story about Kaede.
Sorry I kept quiet about it until now.
[08:38] ---
It's all right.
You were looking out for Kaede, right?
[08:41] ---
You're right about that...
[08:43] ---
I mean, as I watched Kaede
slowly becoming friends with everyone,
[08:47] ---
I couldn't bring myself to mention it.
[08:49] ---
I felt it was okay to stay like this.
[08:51] ---
I understand. I'm not that mad about it.
[08:54] ---
But...
[08:56] ---
I wish you told us a bit earlier.
[08:58] ---
So you ARE mad about it.
[09:00] ---
NOVEMBER 17th
[09:01] ---
Good morning, Kaede.
[09:03] ---
G-Good morning, Big Brother.
[09:06] ---
Kaede might not make it much longer.
[09:08] ---
Her whole body is in pain.
[09:11] ---
You frolicked around a lot yesterday,
so you just have muscle cramps.
[09:15] ---
You don't have a fever...
[09:21] ---
A film shoot in Kanazawa?
[09:23] ---
Guess I won't be able
to see you for a while again.
[09:26] ---
We're filming at a studio in Tokyo
until the day after tomorrow,
[09:29] ---
so I'll be coming home.
[09:31] ---
Call me if anything happens.
[09:33] ---
I'll call you even if nothing happens!
[09:34] ---
I meant if something happens
to Kaede-chan.
[09:38] ---
I'm home.
[09:43] ---
Kaede, I'm home—
[09:44] ---
W-Wah!
[09:47] ---
What are you doing?
[09:49] ---
Ow!
[09:51] ---
Be a good girl and stay asleep.
[09:52] ---
Since making it all the way
to the beach yesterday,
[09:54] ---
Kaede doesn't want this good groove
to be interrupted by muscle cramps!
[09:58] ---
Kaede wants to head outside again today.
[10:00] ---
- Seriously?
- Seriously!
[10:02] ---
And it's your uniform debut?
[10:03] ---
It's a uniform debut.
[10:05] ---
I bought some pudding.
[10:06] ---
Hurray!
[10:07] ---
Ow...
[10:08] ---
P-Please don't change the subject.
[10:11] ---
It's all right. The outside world
isn't going anywhere, so no need to panic.
[10:15] ---
Is Kaede all right?
[10:17] ---
You're all right.
[10:18] ---
But, Kaede doesn't know the girl we met
at the beach yesterday...
[10:23] ---
She's someone "Kaede-san" knows, right?
[10:26] ---
If you want to know,
I'll tell you what kind of a girl she is.
[10:29] ---
Kaede has trouble dealing
with people who know "Kaede-san."
[10:32] ---
It's troubling, but...
[10:34] ---
Not knowing is scary, too!
[10:38] ---
That was Kotomi Kano,
an acquaintance from before kindergarten.
[10:42] ---
She used to live above us
in the same apartment complex.
[10:46] ---
She used to play with "Kaede"
from a very young age.
[10:50] ---
Apparently, she was at the beach
thinking about rereading this book.
[10:51] ---
The Poison Apple the Prince Gave Me
[10:54] ---
Apparently, she borrowed it from "Kaede."
[10:59] ---
What's this?
[11:00] ---
Can I look at it?
[11:02] ---
Sure.
[11:04] ---
I want to be friends with Kae-chan again
—Kotomi
[11:08] ---
friends
[11:14] ---
Komi-chan...
[11:15] ---
Kaede! Just now—
[11:18] ---
Kaede! Kaede!
[11:23] ---
Honestly, until Kaede-san is conscious again,
I can't say anything for sure.
[11:29] ---
However, there's a possibility that there will be
a change to her memories when she awakens.
[11:35] ---
Meaning what?
[11:36] ---
KAEDE AZUSAGAWA
[11:48] ---
Well, Kaede isn't the type
you'd call a princess, either...
[11:53] ---
Kaede?
[11:56] ---
Big Brother?
[11:58] ---
This place...
[11:59] ---
You collapsed and brough here
in an ambulance.
[12:03] ---
Did Big Brother change Kaede's clothes!?
[12:05] ---
It wasn't, so relax.
[12:07] ---
It was done by the nurse and Mai-san,
with some help from Toyohama.
[12:10] ---
It would've been fine if you did it, Big Brother.
[12:14] ---
You're Kaede... Right?
[12:16] ---
Kaede is still Kaede, okay?
[12:20] ---
Kaede has regained consciousness.
[12:22] ---
Test results showed no abnormalities,
so she may be released today.
[12:26] ---
I'm glad...
[12:27] ---
However...
[12:28] ---
The fact she collapsed may indicate
that "Kaede's" memories are coming back.
[12:33] ---
If Kaede regains her previous memories,
[12:36] ---
there's a possibility that all of her
current memories will disappear.
[12:40] ---
No way...
[12:43] ---
TAXI AREA
[12:44] ---
Was Dad here?
[12:46] ---
Yeah. He was worried about you.
[12:51] ---
Hey, Kaede, what do you want
to do the most right now?
[12:54] ---
Eat pudding.
[12:55] ---
Something to celebrate your hospital release.
It can be something bigger than that.
[12:59] ---
Eat a giant pudding, then!
[13:01] ---
Well, we can eat that, but I was talking more
about going to see pandas or something.
[13:08] ---
Pandas are second on the list.
[13:10] ---
What's first?
[13:11] ---
First is...
[13:13] ---
Going to school.
[13:17] ---
NOVEMBER 19th
[13:18] ---
Kaede says that she wants to go to school.
[13:21] ---
I see.
[13:23] ---
And I want to grant her that wish.
[13:25] ---
All right.
[13:26] ---
I'll explain the situation to her middle school
before tomorrow ends.
[13:33] ---
Sakuta...
[13:35] ---
Are you eating properly?
[13:37] ---
I am.
[13:38] ---
I see...
[13:41] ---
And you know, it's all right to do it
after everything settles down, but...
[13:44] ---
What?
[13:46] ---
You should introduce me to
the girl you're dating right now.
[13:50] ---
Oh... Yeah, when things settle down.
[13:54] ---
NOVEMBER 20th
[13:55] ---
The shoot in Kanazawa
was going to be for two weeks?
[13:58] ---
Yup. I'm sure you'll be lonely not seeing me,
but I'll be sure to call you every night.
[14:03] ---
I'll wait in front of the phone every night!
[14:06] ---
Take life more seriously and study.
[14:11] ---
So Sakuta, you're not scared?
[14:15] ---
When you think about Kaede-chan.
[14:17] ---
Of course I'm scared.
I'm about to wet my pants as we speak.
[14:20] ---
I'm asking a serious question.
[14:22] ---
But as a big brother, there are things
you never show a little sister.
[14:26] ---
Piss, poop... and whining.
[14:30] ---
Because I'm the big brother.
[14:32] ---
If there was something I could do,
I'd like to do it.
[14:37] ---
But there's nothing I can do.
[14:40] ---
I'm sorry...
[14:42] ---
Oh, geez, I'm such an idiot!
[14:44] ---
Big Sister didn't say anything about it
because there was nothing we could do!
[14:47] ---
I really am sorry!
[14:49] ---
NOVEMBER 22nd
[14:52] ---
Hello, I'm Tomobe, the school counselor.
[14:55] ---
At first, it can be as simple as
walking to school for a little bit.
[15:00] ---
And it doesn't have to start in the classroom.
You can go to the nurse's office first.
[15:04] ---
W-Would the nurse's office count
as going to school?
[15:07] ---
Yes, of course it would.
[15:09] ---
But that's different from everyone else, right?
[15:11] ---
That is true.
[15:13] ---
But even though they may look the same,
everyone is actually different.
[15:17] ---
For instance, there are tall kids and short kids.
[15:20] ---
Some kids are good at running,
and some are not.
[15:24] ---
Each person has their own pace.
[15:26] ---
That's why, if it's the result
of you doing your best,
[15:30] ---
it's fine to say that it counts
as you "going to school."
[15:33] ---
Th-Then, it can be circled
even if it's the nurse's office?
[15:36] ---
Circled?
[15:38] ---
C-Circling this.
[15:39] ---
* GO TO SCHOOL
[15:42] ---
I think that's fine.
[15:43] ---
Th-Then, Kaede would definitely like
to go to school.
[16:16] ---
You're kidding me!
[16:17] ---
For real!
[16:18] ---
And what do you think she said?
[16:20] ---
Eh? What?
[16:22] ---
It's not like they're laughing
about you, Kaede.
[16:25] ---
Really?
[16:26] ---
If you think you can make people laugh
that easily, you're sorely mistaken.
[16:30] ---
T-The path of the comedian is a steep one.
[16:34] ---
We tried hard today, so why don't we
head back and eat some pudding?
[16:44] ---
Kaede is determined to finally make it
all the way to school today.
[16:47] ---
She will do her best.
[16:48] ---
You don't have to be so impatient about it.
[16:50] ---
K-Kaede is not being impatient!
[16:53] ---
Even Tomobe-san said
you can take it slow, didn't she?
[16:58] ---
Kaede?
[17:00] ---
That's not good enough...
[17:02] ---
Not good enough?
[17:08] ---
Kaede, let's take a break
from practicing today, okay?
[17:13] ---
Kaede!
[17:18] ---
Kaede!
[17:19] ---
You don't have to overdo it!
[17:21] ---
There is a need to overdo it!
[17:22] ---
Kaede doesn't have the time to take it slow!
[17:28] ---
So, she knew about it...
[17:39] ---
What's up with that?
Totally cracking me up!
[17:40] ---
Too wicked!
[17:45] ---
Why...
[17:47] ---
Why...
[17:48] ---
Kaede...
[17:51] ---
Why are they no good!?
[17:53] ---
Kaede wants to go to school!
Why won't they move at all!?
[17:58] ---
Kaede.
[17:58] ---
Kaede will not go home!
[18:00] ---
Not home...
but practice until she can go to school!
[18:04] ---
Practice!
[18:08] ---
All right.
[18:10] ---
I'll make it so that
you can go to school, Kaede.
[18:12] ---
Eh? Really?
[18:14] ---
Really.
[18:15] ---
But we'll resume practice
after a short break.
[18:19] ---
A break?
[18:21] ---
Yeah, in the best place I can think of.
[18:29] ---
There are lots of people.
[18:30] ---
If you're scared of this many people,
you'll never make it to school.
[18:34] ---
O-Okay. Will try harder.
[18:39] ---
B-Big Brother, are we at this "best place" yet?
[18:43] ---
Don't worry. We'll be there soon.
[18:48] ---
Big Brother, are we there yet?
[18:50] ---
Almost.
[18:55] ---
There. We have arrived.
[19:00] ---
The Zoo! It's the zoo, Big Brother!
[19:03] ---
I told you it was the best place
I could think of.
[19:07] ---
Please take your time.
[19:09] ---
It smells like Nasuno before a bath!
[19:11] ---
It does smell like beasts.
[19:14] ---
Oh! Pandas! Big Brother, there's the pandas!
[19:17] ---
There are pandas right there!
[19:20] ---
Pandas! Pandas are walking around!
[19:22] ---
They're walking.
[19:24] ---
That panda over there is eating!
[19:25] ---
It's eating.
[19:27] ---
Pandas are big.
[19:28] ---
You'd expect "giant" pandas to be big.
[19:30] ---
Oh, it looked over at us!
[19:33] ---
The panda is eating again.
[19:36] ---
They said on TV before that
bamboo isn't very nutritious,
[19:40] ---
so pandas need to spend a majority
of the day eating to survive.
[19:44] ---
It's a tough life being a panda, too.
[19:46] ---
Everyone is doing their best
to live their lives.
[20:04] ---
Big Brother, it's the lesser pandas!
[20:06] ---
They are lesser.
[20:07] ---
They're smaller.
[20:08] ---
They're "lesser," after all.
[20:10] ---
But they're cute!
[20:13] ---
Kaede really loves pandas after all.
[20:16] ---
It's a bit lonely to say goodbye to them...
[20:18] ---
You can just come here again.
[20:19] ---
But Kaede is...
[20:26] ---
Here, this is for you. An annual pass.
[20:30] ---
With this, you can come see pandas
every day if you wanted to.
[20:33] ---
A-Amazing!
Big brother really is a big brother!
[20:37] ---
It's okay for Kaede to come back here again?
[20:39] ---
Of course it is.
[20:42] ---
I went to the effort of buying it,
so it'd be a waste of money not to.
[20:47] ---
Kaede wants to come here many times
and get our money's worth!
[21:04] ---
Kaede was able to make a purchase, too!
[21:07] ---
Want me to carry that?
[21:08] ---
Kaede purchased the pudding,
so Kaede will carry it!
[21:14] ---
Big Brother, our house is that way, right?
[21:16] ---
This is a shortcut.
[21:29] ---
A shortcut, didn't know that.
[21:31] ---
Well, you're still an amateur
when it comes to roads around here.
[21:34] ---
Are you a seasoned veteran?
[21:36] ---
You could call me a pro.
[21:38] ---
Amazing!
[21:44] ---
Big Brother, this is...
[21:45] ---
T-The school!
[21:47] ---
It's night now, so stay quiet.
[21:50] ---
There.
[21:51] ---
Y-You shouldn't, Big Brother.
[21:53] ---
Come on.
[21:54] ---
But...
[21:55] ---
We're only going to peek in for a little bit.
[21:58] ---
J-Just a little bit, okay?
[22:04] ---
This is your first trip to school.
[22:10] ---
Oh, this is class 3-1.
[22:12] ---
Is this Kaede's classroom?
[22:24] ---
Big Brother.
[22:26] ---
Next time at school
will hopefully be in the daytime.
[22:29] ---
Since you've conquered school at night,
that should be easy.
[22:33] ---
As of today, every goal
in the notebook can be circled.
[22:37] ---
Oh, it's been that many already?
[22:39] ---
Panda, pudding and school
were the last to complete.
[22:42] ---
Then we have to celebrate.
[22:44] ---
Yes!
[22:45] ---
Oh, but school will still be a triangle.
[22:48] ---
I think you'd be okay circling it.
[22:50] ---
That'll be for after
coming to school during the day.
[22:52] ---
I see.
[22:54] ---
Now, there is a feeling
that it can be accomplished.
[22:56] ---
Kaede feels like she can head to school
during the day tomorrow!
[23:00] ---
You're right.
[23:01] ---
Looking forward to tomorrow!
[23:03] ---
Really can't wait for tomorrow to come!
[23:06] ---
NOVEMBER 27th
[23:10] ---
Kaede, it's morning.
[23:12] ---
Are you still asleep?
[23:21] ---
Morning, Big Brother.
[23:23] ---
Huh? That is you, right?
[23:27] ---
Yeah...
[23:28] ---
Ugh, my legs are so swollen!
[23:30] ---
You did run around the zoo a lot yesterday.
[23:32] ---
The zoo?
[23:33] ---
I didn't go.
Big Brother, what's wrong with you?
[23:37] ---
Kaede, you...
[23:39] ---
Wait, was my room always like this?
[23:43] ---
You're...
[23:45] ---
Kaede, right?
[23:47] ---
Of course I am.
Sheesh, what are you talking about?
[24:55] ---
Nothing less from you, Big Brother.
Such a rascal.
