[00:02] ---
This explanation pertains to quantum physics,
rather then Adolescence Syndrome.
[00:08] ---
Inside it, you place a cat,
[00:10] ---
an atom which emits radiation at
a probability of once per hour,
[00:16] ---
and a device that emits poisonous gas
when it senses that radiation.
[00:21] ---
Then, place the lid on and wait 30 minutes.
[00:26] ---
Here, we have a box
that we prepared 30 minutes ago.
[00:29] ---
Is this a cooking show?
[00:31] ---
What do you think has happened
to the cat in the box?
[00:34] ---
Is it alive or dead?
[00:36] ---
Since the poison gas is emitting
at the probability of once per hour,
[00:40] ---
then if it's 30 minutes,
it's a fifty-fifty chance, right?
[00:42] ---
To "confirm" the current condition,
you must observe it.
[00:46] ---
In other words, until opening the lid
and confirming yourself,
[00:48] ---
the cat is half alive and half dead.
[00:52] ---
Are you saying it's the same for humans?
[00:55] ---
Until an observer confirms the existence,
it is not confirmed...
[02:31] ---
MAY 20th
[02:37] ---
It totally looks like we're a couple.
[02:41] ---
Did you say something?
[02:42] ---
No, nothing.
[02:43] ---
It's fine. I mean, nobody around us can see me anyway.
[02:49] ---
So that carrot you're holding right now...
[02:52] ---
How does it appear to people who can't see you?
[02:55] ---
Apparently, they can't see it.
[02:58] ---
See?
[02:59] ---
My guess is that whatever I touch
becomes invisible.
[03:03] ---
Then, what would happen
if I were to touch you?
[03:07] ---
Are you appealing to me
that you want to hold hands?
[03:11] ---
No, just an experiment.
[03:13] ---
I won't hold hands for a reason like that.
[03:16] ---
Actually, I just want to hold hands with you.
[03:20] ---
And?
[03:22] ---
I've never held hands with a girl,
so please be my first.
[03:28] ---
That sounds a bit creepy...
[03:30] ---
But I'll give you a passing score for now.
[03:36] ---
You're having lewd thoughts, aren't you?
[03:38] ---
My thoughts are a hundred times
more lewd than what you're imagining.
[03:43] ---
But, since you're an adult,
you're totally fine with that, right?
[03:47] ---
Right. I think nothing of younger boys
having erotic fantasies about me.
[03:53] ---
Whoa!
[03:56] ---
I guess they can still see me.
[03:59] ---
I'm looking forward to seeing your place.
[04:02] ---
I'm not letting you in.
I live alone, anyway.
[04:05] ---
Eh?
[04:06] ---
Besides, aren't we still in the middle of a fight?
[04:08] ---
That's because you're not being honest.
[04:11] ---
If you want to keep working
as an actress, you should.
[04:14] ---
Mind your own business.
You don't know anything.
[04:18] ---
I know things.
[04:20] ---
The reason is the photo book that came out
in your third year of middle school.
[04:23] ---
Your conditions were
that swimsuits are an absolute no-go,
[04:27] ---
but your mother the manager went ahead
with the contract without your permission.
[04:30] ---
That caused a huge argument,
[04:32] ---
so you took a hiatus from show-biz
to get revenge on your mother.
[04:37] ---
But that's ridiculous.
[04:39] ---
Shut up.
[04:40] ---
There's no point if you throw away
what you want the most, as well.
[04:46] ---
I said shut up!
[04:47] ---
I agonized and thought hard before deciding!
[04:50] ---
I was still in middle school!
[04:52] ---
But when I entered the studio,
there was a swimsuit waiting for me.
[04:56] ---
And they said the contract
was already signed, so I had to do it.
[05:00] ---
I forced myself to smile...
[05:04] ---
In the end, she only thought about
using me to make money.
[05:11] ---
If so, that's all the more reason
to return to show-biz.
[05:18] ---
Why's that?
[05:19] ---
Because you still have bitter feelings.
[05:23] ---
Don't hold yourself back
if you want to do it.
[05:25] ---
You should do it.
[05:27] ---
Deep down, you realize that too, Mai-san.
[05:32] ---
The reason for my hiatus...
Who'd you hear it from?
[05:34] ---
Eh?
[05:37] ---
Don't look away from me!
[05:37] ---
Ow!
[05:39] ---
Back during Kaede's incident,
[05:41] ---
I got to know an announcer
that came to do a report on bullying.
[05:44] ---
Her name is Fumika Nanjo.
[05:46] ---
Oh, her...
[05:48] ---
She's been good to me before, too.
[05:50] ---
She's interested in Adolescence Syndrome,
and is doing an investigation on it.
[05:54] ---
Sakuta-kun, did you make a deal with her
in order to gain information about me?
[05:59] ---
A photo... One of the scar on my chest.
[06:04] ---
Idiot! Now you'll have reporters
at your door with cameras!
[06:07] ---
They'll wait around your home,
resulting in hard times for your sister!
[06:13] ---
Give me her contact info.
[06:15] ---
You're such a queen, Mai-san.
[06:17] ---
And you take television too lightly, Sakuta-kun.
[06:22] ---
Sorry for the sudden call.
[06:24] ---
This is Mai Sakurajima, we've had
the pleasure of doing business before.
[06:28] ---
It's been a while since we last spoke.
Do you have some time?
[06:32] ---
Is this about Sakuta-kun?
[06:34] ---
What's your relation to him?
[06:36] ---
He's a kouhai at my high school.
[06:39] ---
I'd like you to refrain from showing
the photo of his scar on television.
[06:44] ---
In exchange, I will provide you
with a particular news scoop.
[06:47] ---
H-Hold it, Mai-san...
[06:50] ---
I will be resuming my activities
in show business soon.
[06:54] ---
However, I won't be returning
to my mother's agency.
[06:57] ---
I will resume work from a different agency.
[06:59] ---
When that happens, I promise you
an exclusive interview with your media outlet.
[07:05] ---
Sorry...
[07:06] ---
Why are you apologizing?
[07:08] ---
But you said you're going back to show-biz...
[07:10] ---
I thought what you said was right.
[07:13] ---
I liked acting for dramas and movies,
and felt like I could keep doing it forever.
[07:19] ---
Maybe it's because I kept lying
to those feelings
[07:22] ---
that I got into this weird
Adolescence Syndrome situation.
[07:25] ---
So, I came here tonight to tell you that.
[07:29] ---
Of course, a part of it was
because I was hungry.
[07:36] ---
Here. This is my place.
[07:39] ---
It's really close to our place!
[07:42] ---
Sorry for slapping you earlier.
And thanks for carrying the groceries.
[07:48] ---
Oh, right...
[07:49] ---
Let's hang out on Sunday.
[07:52] ---
I won't have time to play around
if I go back to show-biz.
[07:56] ---
I've been living here for two years now,
but I haven't even visited Kamakura yet.
[08:00] ---
That means—
[08:01] ---
It's not a date.
[08:04] ---
Well then, let's meet at 2:30
at the Enoden Fujisawa Station ticket gate.
[08:08] ---
If you're one second late, I'll head home.
[08:12] ---
In the end, it didn't matter what I did.
[08:16] ---
Mai-san decided everything for herself.
[08:19] ---
The world keeps spinning, huh...
[08:25] ---
Ya-hoo!
[08:27] ---
What's the matter, Big Brother?
[08:30] ---
Hey! No peeking!
[08:32] ---
Please share your "Ya-hoo" with Kaede too!
[08:37] ---
MAY 25th
[08:45] ---
A man's gotta be ready
for any and all situations.
[08:57] ---
What's wrong?
[09:02] ---
You're not Mommy!
[09:03] ---
So she's lost...
[09:05] ---
I'll help you look for your Mommy,
so stop crying.
[09:09] ---
- Really?
- Yeah.
[09:10] ---
Go to hell, filthy pedophile!
[09:15] ---
Now's your chance! Run!
[09:16] ---
Hold on a second!
Who're you calling a filthy pedophile!?
[09:19] ---
Now, hurry!
[09:20] ---
I'm saying you're wrong!
She's a lost kid!
[09:23] ---
We were just going to try
to find her mother together!
[09:27] ---
Eh?
[09:28] ---
Yup.
[09:30] ---
Man, that hurts!
[09:31] ---
S-Sorry.
[09:33] ---
I think it's split in two now.
[09:35] ---
Eh? That's not good—
[09:37] ---
Wait, it's already split!
[09:39] ---
Sheesh, fine! I get it!
[09:43] ---
- Bring it!
- Huh?
[09:45] ---
Go ahead and kick. That way, we'll be even.
[09:47] ---
Wait, we'll be even?
[09:49] ---
Hurry! I have an appointment with a friend!
[09:52] ---
I also have an appointment—
[09:54] ---
Then hurry!
[09:55] ---
Oh, all right! Fine!
[09:58] ---
Ouch!
[10:01] ---
Hey, you there. What are you doing?
[10:05] ---
Man, this is the worst!
[10:07] ---
That's my line.
[10:09] ---
You kept staring at your smartphone,
which made the lecture longer than needed.
[10:12] ---
But I had an incoming message.
[10:14] ---
If I don't reply quickly,
they'll stop being my friends.
[10:20] ---
Oh, that's right, I had an appointment.
[10:22] ---
Crap! I'm late! See ya!
[10:35] ---
Well, that's to be expected...
[10:39] ---
You have some nerve to make me wait
for an hour and thirty eight minutes.
[10:45] ---
What is it?
[10:46] ---
Mai-san isn't a lovable girl that would
admirably wait for a man running late.
[10:51] ---
You must be an imposter!
[10:53] ---
I see now how you've perceived me, Sakuta.
[10:57] ---
You forgot the "-kun."
[10:59] ---
Sakuta doesn't deserve more
than just "Sakuta."
[11:03] ---
I understand why you're late,
but is that really all?
[11:06] ---
That's all.
[11:07] ---
If you're lying to me,
I'll make you eat Pocky through your nose.
[11:12] ---
One stick?
[11:13] ---
One box.
[11:20] ---
Hey, why do you look out for me so much?
[11:24] ---
Eh?
[11:25] ---
People usually don't look out
for troublesome girls like me.
[11:28] ---
You don't have any friends because
your personality is so twisted like that.
[11:32] ---
Give me a serious answer.
[11:34] ---
Why are you meddling in my affairs?
[11:37] ---
I'm just enthusiastic for a chance
to get to know a beautiful senpai.
[11:41] ---
Who told you to speak the truth so candidly?
[11:44] ---
You were the one who said to be serious.
[11:51] ---
Because it's hard to be in trouble
when you don't have anyone to rely on.
[11:55] ---
When my little sister Kaede
had her outburst of Adolescence Syndrome,
[11:59] ---
nobody believed us...
[12:01] ---
What about your parents?
[12:02] ---
We live apart nowadays.
[12:05] ---
Mom couldn't handle everything
that was happening with Kaede.
[12:09] ---
But one person did lend a serious ear to us.
[12:14] ---
If I hadn't met that person,
I probably wouldn't have gotten over it, either.
[12:18] ---
So I was hoping I could be to you
what that person was to me.
[12:23] ---
It's a woman, isn't it?
[12:25] ---
Eh?
[12:26] ---
I'm getting off.
[12:27] ---
Eh? What about Kamakura?
[12:29] ---
It's already evening, since you were so late.
[12:32] ---
Oh, hold on!
[12:43] ---
Did you know?
[12:45] ---
The distance to the horizon seen at eye level
is roughly four kilometers.
[12:53] ---
My name is Shoko Makinohara.
[12:56] ---
Makinohara spelled like Makinohara Rest Area,
[12:59] ---
and Shoko spelled as "child soaring the skies."
[13:02] ---
What's your name, young man?
[13:04] ---
We met in my third year of middle school.
She was a second-year high schooler.
[13:08] ---
She wore the uniform
of Minegahara High School.
[13:11] ---
Could it be that you applied to Minegahara
to follow in her footsteps?
[13:16] ---
Well, you got me there.
[13:18] ---
But you were rejected?
[13:19] ---
No, I haven't asked her out...
because I couldn't find her.
[13:24] ---
No student of such name
existed at Minegahara.
[13:28] ---
I checked all the alumni rosters, too.
She wasn't there.
[13:33] ---
But I'm positive I met someone
named Shoko Makinohara,
[13:37] ---
and that her existence saved me.
[13:40] ---
Are you still in love with her?
[13:42] ---
I was totally in love with her.
[13:44] ---
To say "I love another woman"
in the middle of a date, you're the worst.
[13:47] ---
Even though it was you who asked?
[13:49] ---
Besides, I WAS in love. That's important!
[13:53] ---
Looks like she's here.
[13:56] ---
Who is that?
[13:57] ---
To: Manager — (no title)
Come to Shichirigahama Beach at 5pm
on Sunday, May 25th
[13:58] ---
Manager?
[14:00] ---
Wait, that's your mother?
[14:02] ---
If I'm going to be returning to show-biz,
and sign a contract with a different agency,
[14:06] ---
then we need to have a proper chat.
[14:08] ---
Is it going to be all right?
[14:10] ---
We'll continue our date when I'm done,
so just wait here.
[14:31] ---
You're kidding...
[14:33] ---
Are you the one who called me out
to a place like this?
[14:37] ---
Who are you? What do you want?
[14:42] ---
I'm Sakuta Azusagawa,
a kouhai of Mai-san.
[14:46] ---
A kouhai of who?
[14:47] ---
Mai-san.
[14:49] ---
Who is that?
[14:50] ---
Who...?
[14:52] ---
I'm talking about your daughter!
[14:54] ---
What are you talking about?
I don't have a daughter. Quit joking.
[14:58] ---
Who's really joking here!?
[15:00] ---
The text... An appointment to meet today...
[15:02] ---
You mean this one?
[15:03] ---
From: — (no title)
Come to Shichirigahama Beach at 5pm
on Sunday, May 25th
[15:04] ---
But I can't figure out who the sender is.
[15:05] ---
From:
[15:07] ---
I remember forcing myself
to make some time for this appointment...
[15:12] ---
...but what is all of this about?
[15:13] ---
This is totally absurd!
[15:16] ---
You're her mother!
How can you forget your own daughter!?
[15:19] ---
That's enough!
[15:20] ---
Why? We're not done talking yet!
[15:22] ---
Please, stop already!
[15:23] ---
Don't pull weird pranks like this.
I won't go along any more.
[15:33] ---
Um, excuse me.
[15:35] ---
Do you know about Mai Sakurajima?
[15:37] ---
You know, the one that broke out
in that morning drama.
[15:39] ---
Hmm... I don't know who that is.
[15:44] ---
The fact she's no longer visible...
[15:47] ---
What if she's not just vanishing from sight,
but also from people's memories?
[15:53] ---
Mai Sakurajima? Who's that?
[15:57] ---
Hello?
[15:58] ---
You don't know who Mai Sakurajima is?
[16:01] ---
No idea. Who is that?
[16:03] ---
Then what about the photo?
[16:04] ---
I promised you to not disclose it.
I remember that.
[16:08] ---
Who did you promise?
[16:10] ---
That'd be you of course, Sakuta-kun.
[16:14] ---
Thanks for everything today. See you.
[16:18] ---
Wait!
[16:20] ---
Mai-san, let's go!
[16:21] ---
Go where?
[16:23] ---
If we go to a far away city,
there might be someone who can still see you!
[16:28] ---
Let's find out!
[16:30] ---
What'll we do once we find out?
[16:32] ---
What good is there knowing nobody
other than you can see or remember me?
[16:37] ---
At the very least,
I can be by your side the whole way.
[16:43] ---
How cheeky for someone
younger than me.
[16:45] ---
It is a date, after all.
[16:49] ---
Very well.
[16:50] ---
If you're saying that you don't want
to take me back home yet...
[16:53] ---
I'll continue this date for you.
[16:57] ---
Please leave your message after the tone.
[17:01] ---
Kaede, it's me.
[17:04] ---
Hello? What's wrong?
[17:07] ---
Sorry, I won't be home tonight.
[17:09] ---
I have a far away errand to run.
[17:11] ---
What errand is that?
[17:13] ---
Do you remember the girl Mai Sakurajima
that came by our place a while ago?
[17:17] ---
I don't know her...
[17:19] ---
It's fine if you don't know.
[17:21] ---
You can have the instant noodles
in the kitchen cupboard for dinner. Bear with me.
[17:24] ---
NEW EXPRESS - TO OGAKI
[17:26] ---
I'll call you again.
[17:30] ---
The population is second in Gifu prefecture,
right after the city of Gifu, they say.
[17:34] ---
What are you talking about?
[17:35] ---
Ogaki, where this train is headed.
[17:38] ---
Ah.
[17:39] ---
It also says they have an abundance
of underground water.
[17:41] ---
I welcome places with clear waters...
[17:45] ---
Hey, Sakuta.
[17:46] ---
What is it?
[17:48] ---
Can you see me?
[17:51] ---
I see you.
[17:52] ---
Can you hear me?
[17:54] ---
Loud and clear.
[17:55] ---
Do you remember who I am?
[17:57] ---
Mai Sakurajima.
[17:59] ---
Third year in Kanagawa Prefectural
Minegahara High School.
[18:03] ---
Debuted as a child actor,
and had all sorts of popular roles.
[18:07] ---
She has a twisted personality,
and is never honest.
[18:10] ---
How so?
[18:11] ---
How you're so uncertain,
but you decide to hide it.
[18:16] ---
I didn't say you could hold that.
[18:18] ---
I want to hold it.
[18:23] ---
Oh, fine...
Special treatment, just for now.
[18:30] ---
Um, do you know who Mai Sakurajima is?
[18:32] ---
She was in a bullet train commercial, too.
[18:35] ---
Sakurajima... was there a talent by that name?
[18:40] ---
Thanks.
[18:43] ---
So cramped!
[18:45] ---
To be expected. I'm taking a bath.
[18:50] ---
No peeking.
[18:51] ---
I'm fine.
[18:53] ---
I could fill myself up three times over
with the sound of the shower alone.
[18:59] ---
In this case, letting the young boy agonize
by allowing him to only listen
[19:03] ---
would be the etiquette
of a composed, mature woman.
[19:07] ---
Of course I know that. On the other hand,
don't you go starting anything weird, okay?
[19:13] ---
Anything weird?
[19:15] ---
Idiot! I don't care!
[19:19] ---
She was really cute just now...
[19:26] ---
Yes?
[19:27] ---
Hey, Kunimi? It's me.
[19:29] ---
What time do you think it is?
[19:32] ---
It's 1:16.
[19:33] ---
I already know that.
[19:36] ---
It's an emergency. Help me out here.
[19:38] ---
What should I do?
[19:40] ---
Do you remember Sakurajima-senpai?
[19:42] ---
Huh? Of course I do.
[19:44] ---
Right, you wouldn't kno—
[19:47] ---
Wait, you do remember her!
I mean Sakurajima-senpai, you know?
[19:49] ---
I'm telling you, of course I know about her.
[19:52] ---
Is that all you wanted? I'm going to sleep.
[19:55] ---
Hold on! Can you give me Futaba's number?
[19:58] ---
Do you have any idea what time it is?
[20:01] ---
It's 1:19.
[20:03] ---
It's 21 past. Your clock is a bit slow.
[20:08] ---
I see...
[20:09] ---
So the talk about Adolescence Syndrome
the other day was about this.
[20:14] ---
I want to figure out why something
like this is happening, and how to resolve it.
[20:18] ---
You sure speak nonsense, Azusagawa.
[20:21] ---
Well, I'm desperate.
[20:23] ---
Kunimi once said that a good part about you
[20:27] ---
is that you say "Thank you,"
"Sorry," and "Help me."
[20:31] ---
What about school tomorrow?
[20:32] ---
I don't think I'll make it in the morning. Why?
[20:35] ---
I figured the reason might be
something about school.
[20:38] ---
Since Sakurajima-senpai is visible
to the students at school, after all.
[20:42] ---
I see...
[20:43] ---
I'll think about it some more,
but don't get your hopes up.
[20:47] ---
Thanks.
[20:48] ---
It might be in the afternoon,
but I'll be at school tomorrow.
[20:51] ---
Sorry for all this so late.
[20:56] ---
Wah! The shower is already over!
[20:59] ---
What should I do for underwear?
[21:00] ---
Huh?
[21:01] ---
I don't mind the same clothes,
but not the same underwear.
[21:07] ---
It's somehow strange.
[21:10] ---
Being in an unknown city like this.
[21:12] ---
I thought you went
to all sorts of places for work?
[21:15] ---
That's just me being taken around.
[21:17] ---
Oh, I know how that is.
[21:20] ---
But the strangest part of it all is that
the person walking with me is a younger boy.
[21:25] ---
I never thought I'd be in a faraway city
with THE Mai Sakurajima, either.
[21:31] ---
It's an honor, no?
[21:32] ---
I'll never forget it.
[21:37] ---
I'll never forget, for sure.
[21:40] ---
And if you forget?
[21:42] ---
I'll eat Pocky through my nose.
[21:48] ---
So cramped.
[21:50] ---
You want me to leave?
[21:51] ---
Talk to me. Tell me an entertaining story.
[21:54] ---
That's quite the hurdle.
Are you having fun troubling me?
[21:59] ---
But Sakuta, you enjoy it
when I'm poking fun at you.
[22:03] ---
I doubt any guy out there wouldn't find ecstasy
in getting bullied by a beautiful senpai.
[22:08] ---
Is that a compliment?
[22:10] ---
A rave review.
[22:12] ---
I see...
[22:18] ---
Hey, why don't we kiss?
[22:22] ---
Mai-san, are you frustrated?
[22:26] ---
Idiot.
[22:28] ---
Let's go to sleep. Good night.
[22:34] ---
Hey, Sakuta.
[22:36] ---
I thought we were going to sleep?
[22:38] ---
If I started trembling and crying that
I didn't want to disappear, what would you do?
[22:43] ---
I'd hold you from behind, and whisper
in your ear that everything's all right.
[22:48] ---
Then I'll never say it.
[22:50] ---
Huh? Are you dissatisfied?
[22:53] ---
You may take advantage of the situation
and touch my breasts or something...
[22:56] ---
I decided to go back into show-biz,
so this is no time for me to disappear.
[23:00] ---
Right.
[23:02] ---
I want to be in dramas, and another movie too.
Stage acting, on-camera acting.
[23:07] ---
I finally got to know a cheeky younger boy,
and it started getting fun to go to school...
[23:12] ---
I will absolutely never forget.
[23:15] ---
Is there such a thing as absolute?
[23:17] ---
So you can kiss whenever you want.
It doesn't have to be me.
[23:22] ---
Anything is a piece of cake for Mai-san.
You can do anything.
[23:27] ---
You're right.
[23:29] ---
Though, that was your first and last chance
to steal my first kiss.
[23:34] ---
If you said that first, I would have done it.
[23:39] ---
You can't anymore.
[23:44] ---
Thank you.
[23:45] ---
For not giving up on me...
[23:49] ---
Thank you.
[24:56] ---
Nothing less from you, Azusagawa.
Such a rascal.
[24:56] ---
Next time
#3 The World Without You
