*The reaction has to be crazy...*
***SIGN*** Succeed's new game
**[01:24] Search Sign**
I shouldn't.
**[01:28] Kyo**
* I always loved things like video games,*
* light novels, and anime.*
**[01:33] Kyo**
*I wanted to try working in the industry,*
**[01:36] Kyo**
* so I quit the office job I had*
* and joined a bishoujo game developer...*
**[01:40] Kyo**
* Where the workplace was more*
* terrible than I had ever imagined,*
**[01:43] Kyo**
* we released games that didn't sell,*
* and ultimately shut down.*
**[01:50] Kyo**
* My name's Hashiba Kyoya,*
* and I'm 28 years old.*
**[01:52] Kyo**
*The kind of soon-to-be-middle-aged bachelor*
**[01:55] Kyo**
*that you can find just about anywhere.*
**[01:58] Kyo**
* As you might expect, I've got*
* no girlfriend, and no money.*
**[02:02] Kyo**
*And now I don't even have a job...*
**[02:12] Kyo**
*Which means I can't pay rent anymore,*
**[02:17] Kyo**
* forcing me to pay for an express bus ticket*
* with the last of my cash.*
**[02:21] Kyo**
* And here I find myself here,*
* back at my parents' house.*
**[02:25] Kyo**
* Directing, video editing,*
* image editing, art assistant,*
**[02:30] Kyo**
*sub-scenario writing, logo design...*
**[02:33] Kyo**
* I tried my hand at everything I could,*
* and none of it amounted to anything.*
**[02:38] Kyo**
*What was the point of it all?*
**[02:55] Kyo**
*Akishima Shino is so amazing.*

Hello?
**[03:23] Miyo**
*Onii-chan? You doing okay?*
**[03:26] Kyouya**
Nope.
**[03:27] Kyouya**
What's up?
**[03:28] Miyo**
* Well, I was going through my stuff*
* and I found something of yours.*
**[03:32] Miyo**
*I thought I'd drop it off later.*
**[03:34] Kyouya**
Something of mine? What?
**[03:36] Miyo**
* The letter from when*
* you got into art school.*
**[03:38] Miyo**
*You're proud of it, right?*
**[03:41] Miyo**
*I'll see you later, then.*
**[03:50] Kyouya**
Art school, huh?
**[03:55] Kyouya**
* I got into two schools,*
* and I wasn't sure which to attend.*
**[04:01] Kyouya**
* One was the economics department*
* of a regular university.*
**[04:04] Kyouya**
* The other was the visual arts*
* program of an art school.*
**[04:09] Kyouya**
* My admiration for creatives lead me to*
* take the entrance exam on a lark...*
**[04:14] Kyouya**
*But I passed somehow.*
***SIGN*** Notice of Acceptance
***SIGN*** Exam ID:
***SIGN*** Name: Hashiba Kyoya
***SIGN*** This letter is to notify you of your acceptance
into the academic programs listed below for
the exam that you took in 2004.
**[04:16] Kyouya**
*But I didn't attend.*
**[04:18] Kyouya**
* I didn't have the confidence*
* to try a creative career,*
**[04:20] Kyouya**
*and regular college work seemed easier.*
**[04:27] Kyouya**
* I wonder what would've happened*
* if I had gone to art school instead.*

Akishima Shino
**[04:32] Kyouya**
* The Platinum Generation*
* are all the same age as me.*
**[04:36] Kyouya**
*If I had gone to art school instead,*
**[04:39] Kyouya**
* maybe I would've become*
* a creator, like them.*
**[04:42] Kyouya**
* I wonder if I could wake up,*
* and be back in time...*
**[04:46] Kyouya**
*And then I'd change things.*
**[04:51] Miyo**
Onii-chan?
**[04:53] Miyo**
Onii-chan...
**[04:55] Miyo**
Onii-chan!
**[05:00] Kyouya**
Would it kill you to knock—
**[05:03] Miyo**
Here you go.
**[05:11] Miyo**
See ya.
**[05:12] Miyo**
You're welcome, by the way.
**[05:17] Kyouya**
I guess it doesn't work that way.
***SIGN*** Notice of Acceptance
***SIGN*** Number
***SIGN*** Hashiba Kyoya-sama
***SIGN*** We are contacting you to let you know you passed
the entrance exam to Oonaka University of the Arts
Visual Arts program that you took in 2004.
**[05:28] Kyouya**
There's nothing I can do now.
**[05:34] Kyouya**
I'd better look for a job.
***SIGN*** September 2016
***SIGN*** We wish you luck in your future endeavors.
**[06:24] Kyouya**
Don't do it!
**[06:33] Kyouya**
I am so sorry!
**[06:36] Eiko**
Did I seriously look that suicidal?
**[06:42] Kyouya**
Well... you looked kinda lonely, maybe?
**[06:50] Kyouya**
I said kind of lonely—
**[06:52] Kyouya**
S-Sorry!
**[06:55] Eiko**
Oh, sorry.
**[06:57] Eiko**
When I remembered what I was worried about,
I got pissed off all of a sudden.
**[07:02] Kyoya**
It must be pretty serious.
**[07:03] Eiko**
Tell me about it!
**[07:06] Eiko**
We had staff run out on us
at a critical juncture.
**[07:08] Kyoya**
They ran off?
**[07:10] Eiko**
Well, I work at a company
that makes games, right?
**[07:13] Eiko**
Though I guess it's not really
unheard of in this industry.
**[07:19] Eiko**
What are the odds that
I just stumble across someone
**[07:22] Eiko**
who can direct, edit images and video,
**[07:25] Eiko**
and has a general knowledge
of web development...
**[07:28] Eiko**
And since I'm asking, maybe they
could hook me up with an illustrator.
**[07:33] Kyoya**
Uh...
**[07:35] Eiko**
What?
**[07:36] Kyoya**
That sounds like me.
**[07:39] Eiko**
It does?
**[07:41] Kyoya**
I think it does, anyway.
**[07:51] Kyoya**
I can't believe I landed
a gig at SucceedSoft.
**[08:01] Kyoya**
Better work hard! This is a big chance!
***SIGN*** Development Group 2
**[08:10] ---**
Welcome, Hashiba Kyoya-san.
**[08:13] ---**
I'm the head of SucceedSoft's
second development group, Kawasegawa.
**[08:17] ---**
Nice to have you.
**[08:18] Kyoya**
Right! I'm very glad to be working here!
**[08:22] Kyoya**
*She's the team head?*
**[08:24] Kyoya**
* But she's only about my age...*
* or even younger.*
**[08:29] Kyoya**
*Amazing.*
**[08:31] Kyoya**
I'm going to go ahead and explain
what you'll need to get started.
**[08:35] Kyoya**
Right!
***SIGN*** Materials Room
**[08:39] Kyoya**
This is the room where we've put
the reference material for our new title.
**[08:44] Kyoya**
But we're short-staffed,
and you can see what that's led to.
**[08:47] Kyoya**
I apologize you for sticking you
with basic chores for your first job, but...
**[08:51] Kyoya**
I'm counting on you.
**[08:56] Kyoya**
I shouldn't have expected too much, I guess.
**[08:59] Kyoya**
I'll just be grateful to even have a job.
**[09:04] Kyoya**
Huh?

**[09:08] Kyoya**
Wait, isn't this...
**[09:12] Kyoya**
This should probably be like this.
**[09:15] Kyoya**
And this like this...
**[09:17] Kyoya**
Let's change how this is organized.
**[09:27] Kyoya**
The filers were previously labeled
only with numbers.
**[09:32] Kyoya**
So I labeled each type of file
with a letter of the alphabet,
**[09:34] Kyoya**
and a number to distinguish them.
***SIGN*** Characters
**[09:38] Kyoya**
I made digital copies of anything
we didn't need hard copies of,
**[09:42] Kyoya**
and filed the hard copies on the shelves.
**[09:46] Kyoya**
I made sure to label the toys
and figurines too,
**[09:50] Kyoya**
so now we can keep track of it all via PC.
**[09:54] Kyoya**
So... what do you think?
**[09:59] Eiko**
Well, I have to say,
it's not what I expected.
**[10:02] Eiko**
Relax, though.
**[10:04] Eiko**
You exceeded those expectations.
***SIGN*** October 2016
**[10:13] Kyoya**
We can delay the deadline by a week,
**[10:16] Kyoya**
but in exchange I'd like to see whatever
you have now, even if it's still rough.
**[10:20] Kyoya**
That way we can get things rolling
for the backgrounds.
**[10:23] Kyoya**
As for your next set of specs,
getting them ready by tonight is...
**[10:30] Kyoya**
Sorry, it's going to have to
wait until tomorrow.
**[10:32] Kyoya**
If you'll excuse me.
**[10:36] Coworker 1**
Thanks so much, Hashiba-san.
**[10:38] Coworker 1**
I don't know what it is, but that artist tends
to lose their temper with me really fast.
**[10:42] Coworker 1**
Your softball approach is a huge help.
**[10:44] Kyoya**
Not a problem at all.
**[10:45] Kyoya**
Just make sure to have the text
specifications ready for them.
**[10:49] Coworker 2**
Hashiba-san! About that tutorial video
for that item we talked about yesterday...
**[10:54] Kyoya**
Don't worry! I've got it!
**[10:56] Kyoya**
I'll make sure it's ready to check
at tomorrow's morning meeting.
**[10:59] Coworkers**
Hashiba-san!
**[11:00] Coworkers**
Do you have time to edit this image later?
**[11:03] Kyoya**
Sure thing! I'll have it ready by tonight.
**[11:07] Coworkers**
Hashiba-kun, I could use a hand...
**[11:09] Kyoya**
Got it, I'll figure it out!
**[11:11] Coworker**
Hashiba, sorry, do you have a second?
**[11:13] Kyoya**
Coming!
**[11:14] Eiko**
Never thought someone assuming I was
jumping off an overpass would be so fortunate.
**[11:20] Kyoya**
I'm glad we had that misunderstanding, too.
**[11:22] Eiko**
It still kind of hurts my feelings, though.
**[11:24] Kyoya**
And I am really sorry about that!
**[11:35] Eiko**
I had a lot of worries back then.
**[11:39] Eiko**
I was feeling really fed up,
which was when you saw me.
**[11:44] Eiko**
It's kind of a mess
at our company, y'know.
**[11:47] Kyoya**
Howso?
**[11:48] Eiko**
The team working on a social game
is calling us "budget parasites."
**[11:54] Eiko**
And they try to screw
with our development as a result.
**[11:57] Kyoya**
But isn't this a big anniversary project?
**[11:59] Kyoya**
Why would they do that?
**[12:03] Eiko**
Not everyone feels like celebrating.
**[12:06] Eiko**
And not caring about the anniversary
means they think it's all a waste.
**[12:15] Eiko**
But I want to make sure
this project is a success.
**[12:20] Eiko**
I don't want to waste a chance to work
with the Platinum Generation.
**[12:24] Kyoya**
You really care about it, huh?
**[12:29] Kyoya**
Having you on board has been a huge help.
**[12:33] Kyoya**
Thank you so much.
**[12:34] Kyoya**
That's okay. This is
a special project for me, too.
**[12:40] Kyoya**
You really like Akishima Shino's art, huh?
**[12:43] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[12:45] Eiko**
The sooner you become
a permanent employee, the better.
**[12:48] Kyoya**
How are my prospects, on that front?
**[12:49] Eiko**
Well, it's part of the contract.
**[12:52] Eiko**
After six months, you'll be
considered for the position.
**[12:55] Kyoya**
I better work hard, then!
**[12:57] Eiko**
I bet you want to meet
the Platinum Gen soon, too.
**[13:01] Kyoya**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** November 2016
***SIGN*** I hate to ask, but would we be able to get additional time?
**[13:15] Coworker 3**
We haven't gotten any
more of the script yet.
**[13:18] Coworker 1**
Having nothing show up
for a whole month isn't normal, right?
**[13:22] Coworker 3**
I wonder what the chief thinks.
**[13:24] Coworker 1**
She's been out a lot lately.
**[13:31] Eiko**
Everyone, can I have a word?
**[13:39] Eiko**
I have something I need to tell you all.
**[13:45] Eiko**
The Platinum project...
**[13:50] Eiko**
has been frozen, as decided
by a meeting of the board of directors.
**[13:56] Kyoya**
Why?! What happened?
**[14:00] Eiko**
I wish I could have done more.
**[14:04] Eiko**
I'm sorry.
**[14:08] Coworkers**
All that work, and for what?
**[14:10] Coworkers**
What's gonna happen to our team?
**[14:10] Coworkers**
Management only cares
about the social game, anyway.
**[14:12] Coworkers**
Are we gonna be split up?
**[14:13] Coworkers**
Damn it, this kills my motivation.
**[14:14] Coworkers**
Guess I'm drinking myself silly tonight.
**[14:17] Kyoya**
*Again...*
**[14:19] Kyoya**
*It happened again.*
**[14:48] Kyoya**
* The team was laid off*
* and my contract was canceled.*
**[15:04] Kyoya**
*What did I do wrong?*
**[15:11] Kyoya**
*If I had chosen this instead...*
**[15:14] Kyoya**
* I'd be pouring my heart into creating,*
* brainstorming with my friends,*
**[15:17] Kyoya**
*thinking, then creating something new...*

Finally. Were you so excited
you passed out, or something?
**[15:56] Kyoya**
Come on... are you being sarcastic or—
**[15:59] Kyoya**
Uh... since when are you into cosplay?
**[16:03] Miyo**
What're you talking about?
**[16:05] Miyo**
Anyway, Dad wanted to to know what
you wanted for your celebratory dinner.
**[16:11] Kyoya**
Celebrating?
**[16:12] Miyo**
You were freaking out
about getting in before.
**[16:15] Miyo**
"I got into Oonaka Arts!"
**[16:18] Kyoya**
That was a decade ago.
**[16:21] Miyo**
Onii-chan, what are you talking about?
**[16:24] Kyoya**
What do you mean? I could ask you...
**[16:31] Kyoya**
Uh, did you borrow some of my books?
**[16:35] Miyo**
Sure didn't.
**[16:36] Miyo**
You always get mad when I do.
**[16:38] Kyoya**
But... there's only the first seven
volumes of *The Familiar of Zero*.
**[16:42] Kyoya**
Plus, *Haganai*, *Asterisk*,
and *No Game, No Life* are missing.
**[16:47] Kyoya**
Huh?
**[16:50] Kyoya**
Didn't we get rid of this CRT?
**[16:54] Kyoya**
And...
**[16:56] Kyoya**
Only a PreS2? What happened to the PreS3?
**[16:59] Kyoya**
Maybe I should use my smartphone to—

**[19:26] Kyoya**
* I have no idea how it happened,*

**[19:36] Kyoya**
* It's when I was choosing*

**[19:39] Kyoya**
*Where I was pondering my own future,*
**[19:43] Kyoya**
* instead of pondering*
* the nature of the world.*

I hope this is the right way?

Ichisuka Higashi... Ichisuka Higashi?
**[19:56] Kyoya**
I take this right, then.
**[20:02] Kyoya**
* Back then, I chose the ordinary path*
* because I wasn't sure of my own potential.*
**[20:08] Kyoya**
* As a result, I had some*

**[24:56] Shino**
Oh, right, I better introduce myself.

It was on the second floor!

When I woke up, she was
sleeping next to me, and—
**[25:24] Shino**
Since my futon's not here yet, I borrowed his.
**[25:27] Kyoya**
Wait, that's why?
**[25:38] Nana**
Okay, I'll go first, then.
**[25:41] Nana**
I'm Nanako Kogure!
**[25:43] Nana**
I'm originally from Shiga Prefecture!
**[25:45] Nana**
You can call me Nanako!
**[25:47] Kyoya**
Nice to meet you.
**[25:49] Kyoya**
* She seems kinda popular,*
* maybe a bit of a gyaru.*
**[25:51] Kyo**
Let me guess: it was art school
or a life of crime—
**[25:56] Nana**

for, like, 30 seconds.

*Let's not make fun of her, then.*
**[26:05] Roku**
I'm Tsurayuki Rokuonji...
**[26:08] Roku**
I guess I'll keep it casual, too.
**[26:10] Shino**
That's a cool family name!
**[26:13] Nana**
More like pretentious.
**[26:14] Kyo**
What difference does my family name make?
**[26:17] Nana**
Oh, so you're the only one
who can make fun of people?
**[26:19] Kyoya**
I'll go next!
**[26:23] Kyoya**
I'm Kyoya Hashiba.
**[26:25] Kyoya**
Nice to meet you.
**[26:26] Kyoya**
You can just call me Kyoya too—
**[26:27] Nana**
In that case, Kyoya,
I need to clarify something...
**[26:31] Kyoya**
Wh-What's that?
**[26:32] Nana**
Could you explain the sequence of events
between yesterday and today in detail?
**[26:36] Kyoya**
I already did, though!
**[26:39] Kyoya**
It was a coincidence!
A series of unfortunate coincidences!
**[26:42] Kyoya**
And, well...
**[26:44] Roku**
So you coincidentally spent the night
with a girl you just met...
**[26:48] Roku**

**[26:53] Kyoya**
Seriously, it was just a—

This should be interesting, I think.

That just leaves me!

I'm Shino Aki.
**[27:06] Shino**
I'm from Fukuoka, in Kyushu...

**[27:09] Roku**
Shinoaki's kind of a

**[27:14] Kyo**
Yeah, you're right.

**[30:17] Kyo**
Just watched baseball on TV, really.
**[30:19] Gen**
Baseball, huh? Chibalotti
did great last year!
**[30:23] Gen**
And man, at last year's Koshien,

Uh...
**[30:39] Kyo**
Maybe Oodani?
**[30:41] Gen**
Oodani? Doesn't ring any bells.
**[30:45] Kyo**
You know, he's a two-way player.
**[30:47] Gen**
Who is?
**[30:48] Kyo**
Oh, uh...
**[30:49] Kyo**
You, uh, ever think about that neat saying,
"He who chases two hares, won't catch one"?
**[30:55] Kyo**
* Crap, I need to choose*

**[30:58] Kyo**
Now then, we have the advising

**[31:02] Kyo**
who has a word for all of our new students.
**[31:06] Kano**
Hey there! Nice to meet you everybody!
**[31:09] Kano**
I'm Assistant Professor Kano.
**[31:11] Kano**
Welcome to art school!
**[31:14] Students**
That's our teacher?
**[31:15] Students**
She seems kinda young.
**[31:18] Kano**
Now, to start out with,
I'd like to take an informal survey.
**[31:23] Kano**
Okay, first of all, everyone wants
to direct movies, raise your hand!
**[31:29] Kano**
Okay, next, who wants to be a screenwriter?
**[31:33] Kano**
Anyone want to be an animator?
**[31:36] Kano**
Game creators?
**[31:38] Kano**
There's plenty of others, right?
Filming, recording, effects, editing...
**[31:42] Kano**
All kinds of different careers!
**[31:44] Kano**
I see, I see...
**[31:50] Kano**
Okay, you all need to listen up!
**[31:55] Kano**
First of all, we had 135 graduates
from the Visual Arts program last year.
**[32:00] Kano**
How many of them do you think
landed the job they were after,
**[32:05] Kano**
at the time of their admission?
**[32:07] Kano**
You there, blondie.
**[32:16] Nanako**
U-Uh...
**[32:19] Nanako**
Forty-two, maybe?
**[32:22] Kano**
Bzzt! Wrong.
**[32:25] Kano**
Even that many would be like a dream, huh?
**[32:29] Kano**
The correct answer is... eight of them.
**[32:34] Kano**
Is that less than you expected?
**[32:36] Kano**
And even that is better
than the previous year.
**[32:40] Kano**
Let's change subjects, for a sec,
and talk about money.
**[32:44] Kano**
People get hungry, they get tired,
and they have to use the bathroom.
**[32:50] Kano**
We need clothes to wear,
and homes to live in.
**[32:53] Kano**
I'm talking bare necessities.
**[32:54] Kano**
And because everybody needs them,
they cost money.
**[32:58] Kano**
But... how about movies,
anime, and video games?
**[33:02] Kano**
Entertainment only becomes important
once you've got your needs met.
**[33:08] Kano**
In other words, it's low priority.
Useless, you could even say.
**[33:11] Kano**
And you all, who have come to a university
to learn to make those things...
**[33:16] Kano**
Well, that goes all
the way past eccentricity...
**[33:18] Kano**
And into stupidity.
**[33:21] Kano**
Still, if you're good enough at being stupid?
You can make money off of it.
**[33:25] Kano**
That is what you need to seek out.
**[33:26] Kano**
If you're going to be stupid anyway,
do it in a way that no one else can touch.
**[33:31] Kano**
I'm looking forward to seeing that happen.
**[33:35] Kano**
That is all!

Kawasegawa Eiko.
**[37:53] Eiko**
Is one of the missing
elements "complications"?
**[37:59] Eiko**
"Complications" refers
to unpredictable turns in the story,
**[38:03] Eiko**
which tend to lead into
the protagonist or hero failing.
**[38:06] Eiko**
After all, no matter how
amazing an individual is,
**[38:08] Eiko**
they're less interesting
without some kind of flaw.
**[38:12] Eiko**
Having those faults come to the fore
during a story, and overcoming them,
**[38:16] Eiko**
creates interesting drama.
**[38:21] Professor**
Correct you are. Perfect answer.
**[38:25] Kyo**
*She really is something.*

Come on, Nanako. We've got
Visual Arts Theory for third period, right?
**[40:30] Nanako**
Oh, right.
**[40:32] Nanako**
See you two later.
**[40:35] Shio**
Tsurayuki-kun's really something.
**[40:38] Shio**
I don't get any of the jargon stuff,
**[40:42] Shio**
so I'm barely able to keep up.
**[40:44] Kyo**
Same here.
**[40:46] Kyo**
*That said...*
**[40:49] Kyo**
* I thought my extra ten years*
* would be an advantage.*
**[40:53] Kyo**
* That it'd make a big difference compared*
* to all the other students.*
**[40:58] Kyo**
* Even if it didn't amount to much,*
* I did actually work in entertainment.*
**[41:02] Kyo**
* It was supposed to give me*
* some kind of advantage.*
**[41:05] Kyo**
*But what I actually found out*
**[41:07] Kyo**
* is that my fundamental*
* knowledge is severely lacking.*
**[41:11] Kyo**
* A handful of sub-par experiences*
* isn't enough to equal knowledge or talent.*
**[41:16] Kyo**
* It feels like I'm learning*
* that the hard way.*
**[41:26] Shino**
What's wrong? You look real worried.
**[41:30] Kyo**
O-Oh, no...
**[41:31] Kyo**
It's nothing serious. Not really.
**[41:35] Shino**
If you say so...
**[41:38] Kyo**
* Come to think of it, why did Shinoaki...*
* apply to an arts school, anyway?*
**[41:43] Kyo**
* She was paying close attention*
* in photography class, but...*
**[41:47] Kyo**
*Maybe she wants to be a photographer?*
**[41:54] Kyo**
Hikawa?
**[41:55] Gen**
Yo!
**[41:56] Kyo**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[41:58] Gen**
Come on, it's my club uniform!
**[42:01] Kyo**
A... uniform?
**[42:03] Gen**
Hell yeah! There's only a handful
of them in the whole world...
**[42:05] Gen**
A ninja club!
**[42:07] Gen**
It's the Society for the Study
of Ninjutsu! I joined.
**[42:10] Kyo**
I think I've heard of that, actually.
**[42:12] Kyo**
In Japan, I think Oonaka Arts has the only one.
**[42:15] Gen**
Yeah! Nice and exclusive, know what I mean?
**[42:18] Gen**
Plus, one of the older
kunoichi girls is super hot.
**[42:22] Kyo**
*I bet that's why he joined.*
**[42:24] Shino**
You sure are having fun, huh, Hikawa-kun?
**[42:27] Gen**
Hell yeah! You two should check
out some extracurricular stuff, too.
**[42:31] Gen**
It's seriously fun!
**[42:38] Kyo**
Are these the club rooms?
**[42:42] Shino**
Seems like it.
**[42:45] Shino**
Nobody's home, though.
**[42:50] Student**
Hey, hey!
**[42:52] Student**
Up here, you two!
**[42:55] Student**
You guys freshmen?
**[42:57] Kyo**
Uh, yes.
**[42:58] Shino**
We are.
**[43:00] Students**
I knew it! That settles things, then.
**[43:05] MC**
The 2006 freshman mixer
is now officially underway!
**[43:11] MC**
Cheers!
**[43:18] Kyo**
We didn't even decide on a club
to join... Is this okay?
**[43:23] Shino**
I figure it is.
**[43:25] Shino**
They never asked us if we were in one!
**[43:30] Kyo**
True enough.
**[43:53] Kyo**
Say, Shinoaki...
**[43:55] Kyo**
What do you want to do?
**[44:29] Kyo**
Oh, you're awake?
**[44:32] Shino**
Kyoya-kun...
**[44:34] Shino**
Oh, sorry!
**[44:36] Kyo**
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
**[44:38] Kyo**
We've been busy non-stop
since the entrance ceremony, after all.
**[44:52] Shino**
You're pretty sharp, Kyoya-kun.
It's hard to believe we're the same age.
**[44:59] Kyo**
You really think so?
**[45:01] Shino**
Yeah! You pay a lot
of attention to everybody.
**[45:04] Shino**
And you're calmer'n most
20-year-olds I know.
**[45:08] Shino**
But sometimes you look like you're
tired from thinking too hard.
**[45:13] Shino**
At lunch today, you looked real worried.
**[45:18] Kyo**
It's nothing serious, though. I mean it.
**[45:22] Kyo**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[45:24] Shino**
Quit trying to brush me off and talk!
**[45:26] Shino**
You might feel better that way.
**[45:33] Kyo**
Well, today... seeing Tsurayuki in class...
**[45:36] Kyo**
It made me realize how little I can do.
**[45:41] Kyo**
No... it's not just him.
**[45:44] Kyo**
Everybody at this school has something
that makes them special.
**[45:47] Kyo**
But I've got nothing. So...
**[45:52] Kyo**
I was thinking... about how little I can do.
**[45:56] Kyo**
And it had me worrying a lot.
**[46:00] Shino**
That surprises me, because
I figured you could do anything.
**[46:05] Kyo**
I can't, though.
**[46:09] Shino**
But you can cook
and keep yourself fed, right?
**[46:13] Kyo**
Yeah...
**[46:14] Shino**
And do laundry, clean the house,
and keep things nice, right?
**[46:18] Kyo**
I can do that.
**[46:19] Shino**
You can make plans
and actually stick to them, right?
**[46:23] Kyo**
That too.
**[46:24] Shino**
I can't do any of that.
**[46:28] Shino**
I'm jealous of people
who can, if I'm being honest.
**[46:33] Shino**
Tsurayuki-kun probably feels the same way.
**[46:37] Shino**
There's bound to be stuff
he's jealous of you for.
**[46:42] Shino**
Folks who can't do anything
are all trying to find what we can do.
**[46:48] Shino**
So I bet even the people
you think are amazing
**[46:54] Shino**
are just as worried as you are.
**[47:06] Shino**
There, there.
**[47:11] Kyo**
Shinoaki... listen...
**[47:16] Kyo**
Thanks.
**[47:19] Shino**
I better do my best, too, huh?
**[47:23] Kyo**
*What can I do?*
**[47:32] Kyo**
We're home.
**[47:34] Kyo**
I guess they're both at work.
**[47:37] Shino**
I'm gonna head to bed, then.
**[47:40] Kyo**
Yeah.

**[00:00] Shinoaki**
Tsurayuki-kun! Why in the heck did you do it?!
**[00:03] Roku**
I'm sorry, okay?
**[00:04] Shinoaki**
I was hungry, and there was
nothing else that looked good.
**[00:07] Shinoaki**
How's that make it okay
to eat other people's stuff?!
**[00:10] Roku**
Seriously, I do feel bad!
**[00:13] Roku**
Which is why I went ahead and got
you some Sukiyamon! See?
***SIGN*** Sukiyamon
Soy Flavor
**[00:17] Shinoaki**
This is is soy sauce-flavored!
***SIGN*** Umakatoyo
**[00:19] Shinoaki**
Umakatoyo is tonkotsu-flavored!
**[00:21] Shinoaki**
They ain't the same thing!
**[00:22] Roku**
I don't get the big deal.
They're both instant ramen.
**[00:24] Kyo**
* Starting this spring,*
* along with enrolling in art school,*
**[00:26] Shinoaki**
They can be the same kinda food,
but that don't make them the same food!
**[00:26] Kyo**
* I've started living in this share house*
* with some of my classmates.*
**[00:29] Roku**
In general terms, they're the same thing!
**[00:31] Shinoaki**
Are not!
**[00:31] Kyo**
* It's two guys and two girls, which you think*
* would be the ideal roommate setup, and yet...*
**[00:32] Roku**
They are!
**[00:33] Shinoaki**
I want mine back!
**[00:34] Roku**
Too bad!
**[00:36] Nana**
I heard the whole argument!
**[00:40] Nana**
Tsurayuki, seriously,
eating someone else's food
**[00:43] Nana**
is the one of the worst
things a roommate can do!
**[00:47] Nana**
What's wrong? Why'd everyone go so quiet?
**[00:51] Kyo**
Uh, well, Nanako... Your clothes...
**[00:54] Nana**
My clothes?
**[01:02] Nana**
Quit looking!
**[01:05] Nana**
I forgot I was in the middle of changing!
**[01:08] Roku**
Hell of a puncher, isn't she?
**[01:10] Kyo**
*For whatever reason, I ended up traveling*
**[01:14] Kyo**
* ten years into the past*
* with my memories intact.*
***SIGN*** Do not eat other people's food!
**[01:17] Kyo**
*It's what you might call a "time leap."*
**[01:20] Kyo**
* My second attempt attempt*
* at college has so far been colored*
**[01:22] Kyo**
* with instant ramen's flavor and*
* painful hits to the solar plexus,*
**[01:25] Kyo**
*along with hope and anxiety.*
**[01:28] Kyo**
* It won't be long before*
* we start creating for real.*
**[01:31] Kyo**
*I can't help but wonder what awaits us.*

**[03:10] Kano**
When it comes to filmmaking,
these four areas are going to be crucial.
**[03:16] Kano**
I want you to form groups of four,
with each person handling one area.
**[03:24] Kano**
The project is to be three minutes long.
**[03:26] Kano**
And I mean that seriously,
**[03:28] Kano**
because once you've all turned
in your shorts, we'll be screening them.
**[03:31] Nana**
Everyone's gonna see?
**[03:33] Shinoaki**
Better make sure it turns out good!
**[03:36] Shinoaki**
Finally, regarding the theme of the
short films I want you all to make...
**[03:42] Roku**
"Time" is kinda broad as far as themes go.
**[03:46] Kyo**
So broad it's hard to know
where to drill down.
**[03:48] Roku**
Yeah.
**[03:50] Roku**
And there's a three-minute
limit on our runtime, too.
**[03:53] Roku**
That teacher isn't trying to make this easy!
**[03:56] Kyo**
It's a good thing we were able to
pick out our team so quickly, though.
**[03:58] Roku**
Team Kitayama, featuring the roommates
from Share House Kitayama...
**[04:02] Roku**
Kinda on the nose, huh?
**[04:04] Kyo**
You're directing. Shinoaki's handling
the technical side.
**[04:07] Kyo**
Nanako's performing, and I'm production...
**[04:10] Roku**
Well, I wanna do the script, but don't care
about the performance side of things.
**[04:15] Roku**
I'm counting on you, Kyoya!
**[04:19] Kyo**
I didn't think we'd end up
at the same part time job, too.
**[04:22] Nana**
Tell me about it.
**[04:24] Nana**
The manager gave me a funny look
**[04:26] Nana**
when he noticed we had the same
address on our applications.
**[04:28] Kyo**
What do you mean?
**[04:30] Nana**
Forget about it.
**[04:31] Nana**
Here, hand that over. I'll put it on this shelf.
**[04:41] Kyo**
Say, Nanako...
**[04:44] Kyo**
Why'd you enroll in art school?
**[04:46] Kyo**
Is there something you want to do?
**[04:54] Nanako**
There wasn't any real reason.
**[04:57] Nanako**
Maybe because I was sick of Lake Biwa?
**[05:00] Kyo**
The big lake from where you live?
**[05:02] Nana**
Yeah.
**[05:03] Nana**
When I was in grade school,
I used to think it was the ocean.
**[05:09] Nana**
L-Listen, it's seriously huge!
**[05:12] Nana**
You would've thought it was
the ocean at that age, too!
**[05:19] Nana**
Anyway, there's really nothing else to it...
**[05:22] Nana**
I mean, there are towns and stores,
**[05:25] Nana**
and you can find most things
you need there.
**[05:27] Nana**
But I think if I had never left home,
**[05:29] Nana**
I would've never learned
what the ocean was really like.
**[05:44] Nana**
The idea of time just passing by
in a place like that scared me.
**[05:49] Nana**
And before I knew it, here I was.
**[05:53] Nana**
It's embarrassing to admit, but it's
kind of like I'm here to find myself.
**[05:58] Kyo**
I think I get what you mean.
**[06:17] Staff**
*The doors are closing. Please stand clear.*
**[06:38] Nanako**
Are you here for a similar reason?
**[06:40] Kyo**
Yeah.
**[06:45] Kyo**
What is it?
**[06:46] Nanako**
Let me.
**[06:47] Nanako**
This goes up here.
**[06:50] Kyo**
Wait, Nanako...
**[06:51] Nanako**
Aw, it got caught on something.
**[06:55] Nanako**
Sorry, gimme one second...
**[06:57] Kyo**
Just one?
**[07:00] Kyo**
Uh, never mind.
**[07:02] Nanako**
Almost done...
**[07:06] Kyo**
* I might be trying to act like I did*
* when I was younger,*
**[07:09] Kyo**
*but I'm still 28 mentally.*
**[07:13] Kyo**
Say, Nanako...
**[07:15] Kyo**
Uh... thank you.
**[07:17] Nanako**
No sweat.
**[07:18] Nanako**
Come on. Let's finish up.
**[07:21] Kyo**
* I'm sure I don't need to explain how*
* I was in no hurry to finish up.*
**[07:26] Nanako**
Get those hands moving, Kyoya.

You're going to fill this in, later, then?
**[07:41] Kyo**
Right. We're still not sure

**[07:44] Kano**
There's no telling when inspiration
will strike, after all.
**[07:48] Kano**
Make sure to keep your antennae up.
**[07:50] Kyo**
Right...
**[07:51] Kano**
Has anything interesting happened

**[07:55] Kyo**
Lately?
**[08:02] Kano**
Well, it sure looks like something has.
**[08:04] Kyo**
You have no idea.
**[08:08] Kyo**
Uh, no, nothing really!

I-If you'll excuse me!

Come on. Time to finish eating.
***SIGN*** Important
Part
**[08:46] Shinoaki**
Good morning, Kyoya-kun.
**[08:56] Shinoaki**
That was a real nice dream.
**[08:59] Shinoaki**
I had a bunch of Itoshima oysters to eat.
**[09:02] Kyo**
Sorry to interrupt your meal.
**[09:05] Kyo**
Come to think of it, Shinoaki,
why'd you enroll in art school?
**[09:11] Shinoaki**
I can't do anything,
**[09:14] Shinoaki**
so I wanted to find something I could do.
**[09:17] Shinoaki**
That's how I ended up here.
**[09:19] Kyo**
That's why you choose art school?
**[09:21] Shinoaki**
Yeah.
**[09:22] Shinoaki**
I've never been real good at studying,
even in elementary school.
**[09:26] Shinoaki**
I'd even miss the train a lot.
**[09:29] Kyo**
*I can imagine that.*
**[09:31] Shinoaki**
Since it was in the country, missing the
train meant waiting for a whole half hour.
**[09:36] Shinoaki**
The folks from the station
even got to know me.
**[09:59] Shinoaki**
What's wrong?
**[10:00] Kyo**
I think I have an idea
that goes with our theme!
**[10:04] Kyo**
I'm thinking of having the short
take place at a train station.
**[10:07] Nanako**
Why a train station?
**[10:09] Kyo**
Since it's the type of place
everyone is familiar with,
**[10:12] Kyo**
there's a lot of obvious shorthand
that'll help people understand the setting.
**[10:15] Kyo**
And I think it'd be well-suited to a story
that wraps up in three minutes.
**[10:19] Nanako**
You've got a point!
**[10:21] Shinoaki**
Everybody uses the train.
***SIGN*** Station
**[10:23] Kyo**
And since stations tend to stay intact
for long periods of time,
**[10:27] Kyo**
they work well for depicting
the passage of time.
**[10:30] Kyo**
My idea is to use that to depict
the life of one woman
**[10:33] Kyo**
over the course of three minutes.
**[10:36] Kyo**
And I thought it might be good to have her
life progress in tune with the time of day.
**[10:41] Kyo**
What do you think?
**[10:42] Nanako**
Sounds interesting! I think it'll work.
**[10:45] Shinoaki**
I like it, too.
**[10:47] Shinoaki**
I can't wait to see it screened!
**[10:49] Kyo**
What do you think, Tsurayuki?
**[10:51] Roku**
Can I get a half-hour?
**[10:57] Shinoaki**
I wonder what that's about.
**[10:58] Nanako**
I dunno.
**[11:09] Kyo**
What's this?
**[11:10] Roku**
I wrote up a plot for the
setup you described.
**[11:13] Roku**
I figured it was what you were after.
**[11:15] Kyo**
Wow! This is exactly what I meant!
**[11:17] Shinoaki**
You're really something, Tsurayuki-kun!
**[11:20] Shinoaki**
You were able to come up
with something so quick!
**[11:23] Nanako**
That's better than
I figured you could manage!
**[11:25] Roku**
Well, I didn't come up with the idea myself,
so I figured I should do this much.
**[11:30] Shinoaki**
That settles it, then!
**[11:32] Nanako**
No objections!
**[11:33] Kyo**
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the script—
**[11:36] Roku**
Kyoya...
**[11:37] Roku**
You got a second?
**[11:47] Kyo**
What is it, Tsurayuki?
**[11:51] Kyo**
What's this?
**[11:52] Roku**
Something from my idea notebook.
**[11:58] Kyo**
Isn't this—
**[11:59] Roku**
It's the exact same thing.
**[12:01] Roku**
Your idea, and what I had
written down in my notes.
**[12:05] Roku**
I swear, I didn't see—
**[12:06] Roku**
Yeah, I know.
**[12:09] Roku**
I actually had it locked up.
**[12:11] Roku**
You couldn't possibly have seen it.
**[12:14] Roku**
But you still managed to come up
with the same idea,
**[12:18] Roku**
like you read my mind.
**[12:21] Roku**
It honestly felt like you took
something right out of my head.
**[12:25] Roku**
Which is why I rushed
to write down the outline.
**[12:28] Kyo**
I didn't mean to.
**[12:29] Roku**
It was scary, man, if I'm being honest.
**[12:35] Kyo**
* Come to think of it, how exactly*
* did I come up with that idea?*
**[12:40] Kyo**
* I remember now... It was from*
* a collection of short stories.*
**[12:44] Kyo**
* A story about a woman's life, depicted against*
* the background of a train station.*
**[12:49] Kyo**
* I think the impression it left me with*
* is what had me imagine something similar.*
**[12:54] Kyo**
* And I didn't read that book*
* until some point in the future.*
**[13:00] Kyo**
* Does that mean I essentially stole the idea*
* from Tsurayuki's future self?*
**[13:08] Roku**
Kyoya, is it just a coincidence?
**[13:11] Roku**
Or is there something else going on here?
**[13:21] Roku**
Well, Kyoya? Which one is it?
**[13:31] Roku**
Yeah, it couldn't be...
**[13:34] Roku**
Sorry about that.
It has to be a coincidence.
**[13:37] Roku**
It's not out of the question
for different people to have the same idea.
**[13:41] Kyo**
You've got a point.
**[13:42] Roku**
I've gotta be honest, I was kind of glad.
**[13:45] Kyo**
Why?
**[13:46] Roku**
A train station makes for an easy setting,
**[13:48] Roku**
both in terms of the possibility space
for characters' behavior,
**[13:51] Roku**
and the things that can happen to them.
**[13:54] Roku**
That's something that you pick up
from learning about screenwriting.
**[13:58] Roku**
But if anybody here at school
realized that, I sure didn't notice.
**[14:04] Roku**
Which is why I was thinking about just
doing the bare minimum for the project,
**[14:06] Roku**
and focusing on my individual studies.
**[14:10] Roku**
But I get the feeling we could make
something good together, Kyoya.
**[14:15] Roku**
Let's give the teachers
a real shock with our project!
**[14:21] Kyo**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** The girl_
**[15:02] Roku**
What do you mean, you want to make some cuts?!
**[15:04] Kyo**
As things stand, we're going to
end up going over three minutes,
**[15:08] Kyo**
so I was hoping you could
rewrite the script.
**[15:09] Roku**
I submitted the script we have
after already rewriting it a bunch,
**[15:13] Roku**
because I thought it was
the best version of that story!
**[15:15] Roku**
There's nothing in it
that can be cut for time!
**[15:19] Kyo**
Still...
**[15:21] Roku**
Shinoaki, you can adjust the storyboards
to make sure everything fits, right?
**[15:27] Shinoaki**
Let me think...
**[15:29] Shinoaki**
It should be doable, but...
**[15:31] Roku**
And if we pick up the pace with your lines,
**[15:33] Roku**
we can cram them in within
the time limit, right?
**[15:36] Nanako**
Can we, though?
**[15:37] Nanako**
I mean, I'd have to try...
**[15:40] Roku**
That's what I'm talking about!
**[15:41] Roku**
We should at least try first!
**[15:44] Roku**
Right?
**[15:48] Kyo**
* There's a hard time limit*
* on this assignment.*
**[15:50] Kyo**
*No matter how good the short turns out,*
**[15:52] Kyo**
* if we go past that limit,*
* we'll be worse off for it.*
**[15:55] Kyo**
* But is that good enough a reason*
* to convince Tsurayuki?*
**[16:00] Kyo**
* Right now, this is probably*
* the best I can do.*
**[16:03] Kyo**
It's an assignment, after all, so we need
to follow the rules if we want the credit.
**[16:08] Kyo**
So...
**[16:11] Roku**
Okay. Fine. I'll make the cuts.
**[16:15] Kyo**
Tsurayuki...
**[16:17] Roku**
Is this your approach when it comes
to making something good, Kyoya?
**[16:26] Roku**
Talk about lame.
**[16:35] Nanako**
Tsurayuki is such a perfectionist!
**[16:38] Nanako**
If it's running long, we should
just make the cuts!
**[16:41] Shinoaki**
Don't let it bug you too much.
**[16:45] Kiryu**
You there, the young lady stepping on me...
**[16:50] Kiryu**
I'm going to refrain from the impulse
to savor this sensation,
**[16:54] Kiryu**
and ask for your help instead.
**[16:56] Kiryu**

**[17:12] Kiryu**
It looks like I was able to make it back,

And now, freshmen—

I am seriously so sorry!

Sorry about the whole snare.

It's not a big deal, so please, stop bowing!
**[17:36] Kiryu**
So, you're going to join the club, right?!
**[17:38] Kyo**
That is a different matter altogether.
**[17:41] Sugimoto**
It's no use after all.
**[17:42] Kakihara**
Please! We're going to be
in real trouble without new members.

Could we at least get permission

Please don't come up

I don't really have time

Oh... yeah. Yours, too?

You're not going to outdo us.

No matter what
you're putting together,

O...kay.
**[19:00] Eiko**
Don't think we're competing
at the same level.
**[19:03] Eiko**
Because we're not.
**[19:05] Kyo**
We're trying to make something good—
**[19:06] Eiko**
Then let me ask you...
**[19:08] Eiko**
What's the concept of your short?
**[19:10] Eiko**
What's the most important element of it?
**[19:12] Eiko**
How are you going to use
the three-minute runtime?
**[19:15] Eiko**
You're handling production,
so you should have some idea, right?
**[19:17] Kyo**
Well...
**[19:21] Eiko**
Don't underestimate filmmaking.
**[19:26] Kyo**
Here's the location release form.
**[19:28] Kano**
Have a seat, and I'll see about
getting that stamped for you.
**[19:30] Kano**
Let's see...
**[19:36] Kano**
Sorry about—
**[19:39] Kano**
Production's always got something
to worry about, huh?
**[19:42] Kano**
I heard your group's got
some creative differences.
**[19:45] Kyo**
Well, uh... Yes.
**[19:51] Kyo**
What's this?
**[19:52] Kano**
The script of a movie
that came out the other day.
**[19:55] Kano**
It's had great reception, and seems likely
to win a few some awards.
**[19:59] Kano**
But no one seems to like the actual movie.
**[20:03] Kano**
The director and cast probably
did whatever they wanted.
**[20:06] Kano**
The runtime ended up too long,
ruining the tempo,
**[20:08] Kano**
and wasting the strengths of the story.
**[20:10] Kyo**
This really is hard, isn't it?
**[20:12] Kano**
A script isn't a finished product.
**[20:15] Kano**
If the point was to just have
people read something, and that's all,
**[20:17] Kano**
it'd be better done as prose.
**[20:19] Kano**
At the script stage,
it can still go either way.
**[20:22] Kano**
What you're doing isn't just
a matter of subtraction.
**[20:27] Kano**
If the production side stops trying,
then that means the whole project is doomed.
**[20:31] Kano**
That's how important it is.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Eiko**
You're handling production,
so you should have some idea, right?
**[20:37] (Flashback) Eiko**
Don't underestimate filmmaking.
**[20:40] Kano**
I've got one piece of advice for you.
**[20:42] Kano**
Everyone involved in the
filmmaking process is a creator.
**[20:47] Kano**
And no one outranks anyone else.

It's already decided. Just do what you want.
**[21:32] Kyo**
That's not true! We haven't
even gotten started yet!
**[21:35] Kyo**
You're right, Tsurayuki!
**[21:37] Kyo**
We haven't filmed anything,

that'll have the best result!
**[21:49] Kyo**
We'll worry about time later!
**[21:54] Roku**
If you insist... I'm in, then.
**[21:58] Kyo**
Yeah! Let's do this!
**[22:11] Roku**
Great weather today.
**[22:13] Kyo**
We picked a day where it was
supposed to be clear.
**[22:16] Kyo**
There was planning involved.

That said, once something's

Everyone here is a creator,
but they're also spectators here
**[00:51] Kano**
expecting to see something worthwhile.
**[00:53] Kano**
If it's funny, go ahead and laugh,
and you can applaud at the end.
**[00:57] Kano**
But the opposite also applies.
**[01:00] Kano**
Because your friends made it...
Because they tried their hardest...

What should I do, then?

You don't need to worry.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Kyoya**
Once the clapperboard cues you,
give it a few seconds,

and then act it out like you would

We're gonna be dubbing
in the dialogue later?
**[06:01] (Flashback) Kyoya**

**[09:32] Nanako**
To be able to come up
with an idea like that...
**[09:35] Nanako**
I was just doing what I was told,
**[09:38] Nanako**
so I'm kinda... No, I'm seriously impressed!
**[09:43] Nanako**
But... I can act well
in a normal film too, so...
**[09:47] Nanako**
So I'm sure that'd... y'know...
**[09:51] Nanako**
Whatever! I'm just gonna say it!
**[09:54] Nanako**
I know I can put on a really
good performance!
**[09:56] Nanako**
So I want to get to act the normal way!
**[10:00] Shino**
Kyoya-kun...
**[10:02] Shino**
You play kinda dirty, huh?
**[10:06] Shino**
You're usually so quiet...
**[10:09] Shino**
And then you get all fired up,
with your eyes flashing.
**[10:13] Shino**
During the shoot...
And during the screening...
**[10:17] Shino**
I was full of butterflies the whole time!
**[10:20] Kano**
Hey, I'm locking up. If you want to
review things, do it somewhere else.
**[10:25] Kano**
Or...
**[10:27] Kano**
Are you discussing your next goal?
**[10:29] Roommates**
Yes!
**[10:30] Roku**
This guy is not...
**[10:31] Roku**
Kyoya isn't...
**[10:32] Roku**
Kyoya-kun ain't...
**[10:34] Roku**
...gonna show me up!
**[10:38] Kano**
Well, that's great to hear.
**[10:40] Kano**
You're going to have another assignment
waiting after vacation is over.
**[10:44] Kano**
Let's see if you can get some payback.
**[10:46] Roomates**
Right!
**[10:48] Kano**
Good answer!
**[10:50] Roku**
First, we need to review what went wrong.
**[10:52] Roku**
And let's skip my screw-up
with the equipment.
**[10:54] Nanako**
That is obviously going to
be the first thing we discuss.
**[10:57] Shino**
I'm gonna keep the runtime and other stuff
in mind when I do the storyboard next time.
**[11:00] Roku**
That goes for the script, too.
**[11:01] Nanako**
And I'm gonna put on a performance
that'll blow Kyoya's mind!
**[11:05] Shino**
Sounds like fun!
**[11:10] Kyoya**
* The Platinum Generation that I looked up to,*
* and wanted to get close to...*
**[11:15] Kyoya**
* If I've been able to make them*
* feel the heat, even a little...*
**[11:21] Kyoya**
* Then this remake of mine*
* might be going well, after all.*
**[11:27] Eiko**
I don't buy it!
**[11:29] Eiko**
Why wasn't Hashiba's team given first place?
**[11:31] Kano**
It's pretty simple, really.
**[11:33] Kano**
What they turned in was a little too
unorthodox for a school assignment.
**[11:37] Kano**
Plus, I get the feeling
it wasn't intentional.
**[11:40] Kano**
I'd guess they had an issue
when requisitioning their equipment.
**[11:43] Eiko**
Are you serious?
**[11:46] Kano**
That film wasn't completely thought through.
**[11:49] Kano**
That said, I might have
an interesting bunch in this class.
**[11:54] Kano**
If they really did come up with that footage
to work around some kind of trouble in production,
**[11:58] Kano**
it speaks to an incredible amount
of problem-solving potential in Hashiba Kyoya.
**[12:03] Eiko**
You're right...
**[12:06] Kano**
Which means that, for the second semester,
**[12:09] Kano**
I want you working with Hashiba's team.
**[12:13] Kano**
You're interested in him, aren't you?
**[12:17] Eiko**
Well, I suppose.
**[12:22] Eiko**
O-Of course, only in his talent as a producer.
**[12:25] Kano**
Uh, what else would I have meant?
**[12:30] Eiko**
You are the worst sister!
**[12:34] Kano**
Good grief...
**[12:37] Kano**
That little sister of mine is adorable,
no matter how old she gets.

Yep! I love it.

I see.
**[13:32] Nanako**
Well, then...

I brushed against

**[13:39] Kyoya**
*That's impressive volume!*

Life goes on and I heave
a little sigh for you.
**[13:41] Kyoya**
*And her voice...*
**[13:42] song**
It's heavy, the love

**[13:43] Kyoya**
*It's like it's resonating in my...*
**[13:45] song**
But it dissolved like
it was just a sugar cube.
**[13:46] Kyoya**
*Chest?*
**[13:48] Kyoya**
*Wait, is she actually pretty terrible?*
**[13:48] song**
Now the little pain sitting in my heart...

**[14:07] Kyoya**
Uh, well...
**[14:10] Nanako**
My grandma does traditional
minyo folk music back home.
**[14:15] Nanako**
And I learned it at a young age, but...
**[14:18] Nanako**
I'm just no good!
**[14:20] Nanako**
I just can't seem to fix my tone deafness.
**[14:28] Nanako**
So I wanted to ask you a favor, Kyoya...
**[14:32] Kyoya**
Huh? What is it?
**[14:34] Kyoya**
When I'm singing by myself,
**[14:36] Kyoya**
I don't really know what
I need to work on.
**[14:40] Kyoya**
So, every now and again,
would you come to karaoke with me...
**[14:43] Kyoya**
And listen to my singing?
**[14:46] Kyoya**
No?
**[14:50] Kyoya**
Sure, if you'd like my help.
**[14:52] Nanako**
Really?! Awesome!
**[14:55] Nanako**
Thanks, Kyoya!
**[15:01] Nanako**
For some reason, it's really easy
to sing in front of you!
**[15:04] Nanako**
That was fun!
**[15:09] Kyoya**
By the way, Nanako...
**[15:11] Nanako**
What's up?
**[15:12] Kyoya**
I just thought of something.
**[15:14] Kyoya**
Once you've practiced,
and got some confidence,
**[15:16] Kyoya**
maybe we can upload your singing online.
**[15:19] Nanako**
Online?
**[15:20] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[15:21] Kyoya**
We'll record you singing,
and put it on a video site.
**[15:25] Kyoya**
A bunch of people will hear you—
**[15:28] Nanako**
No, no, no, no way can I do that!
**[15:31] Nanako**
I'm already crappy enough,
I don't need to get trashed on top of it!
**[15:36] Kyoya**
Th-That's why I said,
after you get better...
**[15:39] Nanako**
No! Absolutely not!
**[15:41] Nanako**
I mean, the internet is the whole world!
**[15:43] Nanako**
Can you imagine how embarrassing it is
**[15:44] Nanako**
to go on there practically
begging for attention?!
**[15:49] Kyoya**
Okay, then why don't we do it
when there's a Japan-only video site?
**[15:54] Nanako**
Only for Japan?
**[15:56] Nanako**
Is there such a thing?
**[15:57] Kyoya**
Yeah...
**[15:59] Kyoya**
* Well, it will be sometime around the end*
* of this year or the beginning of next.*
**[16:03] Kyoya**
What... do you think about that, though?
**[16:07] Nanako**
I guess that wouldn't be as bad.
**[16:09] Kyoya**
Okay, that settles it!
**[16:11] Kyoya**
Let's practice with that as your goal!
**[16:13] Nanako**
Hey! Don't pick my goals for me!
**[16:22] Nanako**
Sheesh...
**[16:23] Kiryu**
Okay, let's celebrate

**[16:31] Kiryu**
Cheers!

Let's do the official

**[16:45] Kiryu**
I'm Kiryu Takashi, in my fifth year

**[16:48] Kyoya**
Thank you so much for your help, by the way.
**[16:50] Kiryu**
Not a problem!
**[16:52] Kiryu**
Especially considering our club
managed to survive thanks to you!
**[16:55] Kiryu**
He's right! Plus, you
brought us some cute girls.
**[17:01] Kiryu**
I'm Hiyama Yurika. I'm in my
third year of industrial arts.
**[17:04] Kiryu**
I sculpt and make stuff like that.
**[17:07] Sugimoto**
Down the hill he fells, the darling acorn!
**[17:13] Sugimoto**
Into the lake he falls, oh me oh my!
**[17:22] Sugimoto**
I'm Sugimoto Mikio, and I'm in my
second year of the music program.
**[17:25] Sugimoto**
It's a pleasure.
**[17:26] Hiyama**
Despite how he looks,
he's actually got a lot of skill.
**[17:29] Kakihara**
Your attention, please!
**[17:32] Kakihara**
Allow me to express my joy
for today... through dance.
**[17:35] Kakihara**
A pose to symbolize reception.
**[17:37] Kakihara**
One symbolizing hope for the future!
**[17:39] Kakihara**
A pose for affection! A pose for courtship!
**[17:39] Hiyama**
That's Kakihara Sho. He's in his
third year of theater arts study.
**[17:42] Kakihara**
Note the toes here! See?
See how they point?!
**[17:43] Hiyama**
He's majoring in dance.
**[17:46] Kakihara**
And now, the Bacchanalia dance!

They're all so eccentric...
but also really talented.
**[18:24] Shino**
Kyoya-kun...
**[18:25] Kyoya**
What is it?
**[18:28] Shino**
You know that I draw, don't you?
**[18:36] Kyoya**
You noticed?
**[18:39] Shino**
I was trying to keep it quiet.
**[18:42] Shino**
Why didn't I lock the dang door?
**[18:46] Kyoya**
I'm sorry for prying—
**[18:48] Shino**
Aw, don't go apologizing!
I shoulda been more careful.
**[18:54] Shino**
Say, do you remember...
**[18:57] Shino**
When I said how folks who can't do anything
are looking for what they can do?
**[19:03] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[19:05] Shino**
I can't do anything, like the rest of y'all.
**[19:09] Shino**
I'm always messing up,
even just doing daily stuff.
**[19:12] Shino**
Bad at school, can't do
athletic stuff, either...
**[19:16] Shino**
But there's one thing...
one thing I like doing.
**[19:21] Kyoya**
Making art?
**[19:24] Shino**
But it just don't seem to come together.
**[19:28] Shino**
I can have fun drawing,
but can't do much more than that.
**[19:32] Shino**
I've won some awards,
but that ain't enough to make a living.
**[19:37] Shino**
So I thought if I went
to school for visual arts,
**[19:40] Shino**
I might get a job in TV or something.
**[19:43] Shino**
That's why I enrolled in art school.
**[19:46] Shino**
But I didn't have the guts
to try the fine arts program.
**[19:50] Shino**
I'm supposed to like drawing...
but can't enjoy doing it seriously.
**[19:53] Shino**
I have no confidence, either.
**[19:55] Shino**
That's why I was keeping it a secret.
**[19:58] Shino**
I was hoping one day my eyes
would light up like yours do.
**[20:06] Shino**
But it just don't seem to wanna happen.
**[20:09] Kyoya**
No, that's not what I—
**[20:11] Shino**
So I was thinking...
**[20:13] Shino**
Maybe I should give up on art.
Maybe that'd be easier.
**[20:18] Kyoya**
You can't!
**[20:21] Kyoya**
You can't do that!
You can't stop being an artist!
**[20:25] Shino**
Kyoya-kun?
**[20:26] Shino**
I... I...
**[20:36] Shino**
*Your art was always there for me.*
**[20:41] Shino**
I...
**[20:44] Shino**
I love your art, Shinoaki.
**[20:51] Shino**
* From all the way in the future...*
* I've loved it.*
**[20:55] Shino**
You said something during the shoot...
**[20:59] Shino**
You wanted me to do it... because you thought
I was the only one who could handle it.
**[21:03] Kyoya**
Yeah. I did.
**[21:06] Shino**
That made me happy. I was real flustered.
**[21:11] Shino**
I thought, what kinda person
thinks that about me?
**[21:15] Shino**
I'm real curious now.
**[21:21] Shino**
So I've made up my mind!
Starting now, you're my goal, Kyoya-kun!
**[21:26] Shino**
I'm gonna study lots, and become
someone who can create
**[21:30] Shino**
the kinda worlds you wanna see!
**[21:32] Shino**
Do you have some kinda goal, too?
**[21:37] Kyoya**
Yeah. I do.
**[21:39] Kyoya**
But I can't tell you about it yet.
**[21:42] Shino**
Well, that's a real shame.
**[21:44] Shino**
But... I'll just have to work hard
so that you'll tell me someday, huh?
**[21:49] Kyoya**
*My goal...*
**[21:52] Kyoya**
* One example might be having you say*
* those things to me ten years from now.*
**[21:57] Kyoya**
*The remake of my life... has just begun.*

**[00:12] Roku**
You just don't get it!
**[00:13] Eiko**
You don't understand at all!
**[00:14] Eiko**
There can't be any dialog here!
**[00:16] Gen**
A collision of different opinions!
**[00:16] Roku**
You've got it backwards!
There absolutely needs to be dialog here!
**[00:19] Gen**
Now that's youth for you!
**[00:19] Roku**
You don't even understand what I'm saying!
**[00:20] Kyoya**
We need to start filming,
so I should probably step in.
**[00:25] Kyoya**
Hey, Shinoaki! You're gonna need to wake up.
**[00:41] Shino**
We starting now?
**[00:42] Kyoya**
Y-Yeah, we should.
**[00:45] Kyoya**
It's about time to get ready.
**[00:50] Kyoya**
Nanako, we're gonna start
shoo...ting... soon...
**[00:54] Kyoya**
You ready? Lines all memorized?
**[00:57] Nanako**
I've got it!
**[00:59] Nanako**
It's all up here, so I'm ready when you are!
**[01:01] Kyoya**
That's great. I can tell you're motivated.
**[01:04] Nanako**
Well, yeah! I'm trying
to become an actress.
**[01:07] Nanako**
What's up with you, Kyoya?
**[01:09] Kyoya**
I-It's nothing.
**[01:11] Kyoya**
I'm gonna check on Tsurayuki and Kawasegawa.
**[01:14] Kyoya**
Have you two figured things out yet?
**[01:15] Roku**
Kyoya, listen to this!
**[01:17] Roku**
After we finally agreed
to the cuts to the script,
**[01:20] Roku**
now she's talking about how
there might be more in the edit!
**[01:22] Eiko**
Obviously!
**[01:23] Eiko**
Filming is about collecting material!
The final product is made in editing,
**[01:26] Eiko**
and sometimes you make
judgment calls in that process!
**[01:28] Roku**
Even if that's the case, do you really need
to throw it in my face like an insult?!
**[01:31] Eiko**
If I don't say something now,
you're just gonna complain later!
**[01:32] Kyoya**
Look, we're running on limited time here.
**[01:35] Kyoya**
Let's try and film what we can now, okay?
**[01:38] Eiko**
I guess so. I really shouldn't be
wasting my time arguing with *him.*
**[01:41] Roku**
Whoa, hold up, I'm not through—
**[03:30] Eiko**
This doesn't sit right.
**[03:31] Kyoya**
Are you still mad about
your wardrobe malfunction?
**[03:33] Eiko**
Not that!
**[03:36] Eiko**
I was talking about our
equipment for the shoot.
**[03:39] Kyoya**
The equipment?
**[03:40] Eiko**
First-year students aren't allowed
to requisition equipment for multiple days.
**[03:45] Eiko**
But our shoot was scheduled
for three days and two nights.
**[03:49] Eiko**
You did something, didn't you?
**[03:53] Kyoya**
I actually need your help
with something related to that.

**[04:15] Guy**
Much obliged.
**[04:16] Eiko**
Thank you for your cooperation!
**[04:19] Kyoya**
I knew you'd be a huge help, Kawasegawa—
**[04:21] Eiko**
I wish you hadn't!
**[04:23] Eiko**
Third-years are able to borrow
equipment for a week at most.
**[04:27] Eiko**
So you volunteered to help some of them
in exchange for access to their gear
**[04:31] Eiko**
on days when they wouldn't be using it.
**[04:34] Kyoya**
It is technically against the rules, yeah.
**[04:36] Eiko**
Exactly! If our professor finds out—
**[04:38] Keiko**
Yeah, she's gonna be real pissed.
**[04:43] Eiko**
A... kid?
**[04:46] Kyoya**
Where did you come from, little girl?
**[04:48] Keiko**
You really wanna cop
that attitude with a senpai, kid?
**[04:52] Kyoya**
S-Senpai?
**[04:53] Keiko**
See, I had heard there were some first-years
**[04:57] Keiko**
willing to bust their humps for no reward,
**[05:00] Keiko**
but that's the real deal?
Makes sense, I guess.
**[05:03] Kyoya**
Um... would you be willing
to keep quiet about it?
**[05:05] Keiko**
You owe me.
**[05:08] Keiko**
The name's Tomioka Keiko.
**[05:11] Keiko**

Thanks! But I still feel kinda
embarrassed about it.
**[05:32] Kyoya**
They seemed to like it, Kawasegawa.
**[05:34] Eiko**
Something's off.
**[05:37] Eiko**
It never quite got past feeling scripted.
**[05:40] Eiko**
It was put together well enough,
but that was all.
**[05:43] Eiko**
There was nothing to elevate it.
**[05:45] Kyoya**
I'm sure you're overthinking it.
**[05:47] Kyoya**
It came together really well,

Seriously. It makes the other one
seem like a school play.
**[06:29] Students**
The last team's acting
held the whole thing back.
**[06:35] Kano**
And the first place film this time...
**[06:38] Kano**
was produced by Team Kitayama Plus.
**[06:41] Kano**
You did a good job. Congratulations.
**[06:43] Crowd**
Wait, they won?
**[06:45] Crowd**
In terms of acting, it was
like a 10-to-1 disadvantage...
**[06:47] Kano**
That concludes class for today.
**[06:50] Nanako**
Professor!
**[06:52] Nanako**
Wasn't the ranking kind of weird back there?
**[06:55] Kano**
What do you mean?
**[06:56] Nanako**
I mean, the last film was clearly just...
**[06:58] Nanako**
The acting was so much better!
Enough to blow everything else—
**[07:01] Kano**
Visual media is a comprehensive art form.
**[07:04] Kano**
Even if one actor's performance
is particularly well done,
**[07:06] Kano**
that doesn't automatically
add points for other areas.
**[07:10] Nanako**
B-But...
**[07:11] Kano**
In that case, can you tell me
the fundamental reason
**[07:16] Kano**
that film had such a strong impact, Kogure?
**[07:19] Kano**
Technical acting ability. Experience.
Appearance. Voice quality.
**[07:24] Kano**
Acting is the result of a lot
of different factors.
**[07:26] Kano**
But there was a more simple
deciding factor this time around.
**[07:31] Kano**
They were serious.
**[07:34] Kano**
That's all.

**[07:43] Kyoya**
Good work, everyone!
**[07:45] Kyoya**
Thanks to all of you, we were
able to put together a great film.
**[07:49] Gen**
All right, here we go! Cheers!
**[07:52] Everyone**
Cheers!
**[07:54] Shino**
Filming at the beach sure was hot, huh?
**[07:56] Gen**
Yeah! But the project came together great!
**[07:59] Roku**
I'd say that scene was all about
the quality of my script!
**[08:02] Nanako**
Even though your lines kept getting cut?
**[08:05] Nanako**
You sure about that?
**[08:06] Roku**
Shut up!
**[08:09] Gen**
I didn't expect first place, though!
**[08:11] Eiko**
Is she going to be okay?
**[08:12] Gen**
I mean, how was a team
with me on it gonna do that well?
**[08:14] Eiko**
She's pretty clearly faking her cheer.
**[08:17] Eiko**
It looks to me like she's trying
to avoid dealing with something.
**[08:19] Gen**
Tell me about it!
**[08:20] Kyoya**
I think she just needs some space.
**[08:22] Kyoya**
It should clear up with time.
**[08:25] Eiko**
Time, huh?
**[08:27] Gen**
Okay, Nanako, you're up!
**[08:30] Nanako**
I-I shouldn't...
**[08:32] Gen**
Yeah, you should! Just belt one out!
**[08:34] Gen**
You'll feel great!
**[08:36] Nanako**
Should I, Kyoya?
**[08:39] Kyoya**
Why not?
**[08:41] Kyoya**
They were bound to hear it
at some point, anyway.
**[08:43] Kyoya**
It's just a question of when.
**[08:51] Nanako**
I guess you're right. Okay...
***SIGN*** Karaoke
**[09:09] Nanako**
Sorry about how terrible that was!
**[09:14] Shino**
Nanako, your voice really rings out!
**[09:17] Gen**
Hell, yeah! It carries even better than mine!
**[09:19] Roku**
It's probably because of that minyo folk
singing you did when you were little, right?
**[09:23] Roku**
That was pretty impressive!
**[09:24] Nanako**
I guess so...
**[09:27] Nanako**
So, who wants to go next?
**[09:30] Roku**
Kawasegawa?
**[09:31] Gen**
You gonna sing next?
**[09:35] Eiko**
You weren't serious
about being an actor, then.
**[09:38] Eiko**
You want this, don't you? To be a singer.
**[09:43] Nanako**
Why would you say that?
**[09:45] Eiko**
Because I thought it was strange.
**[09:48] Eiko**
It's true that you could perform in bits,
**[09:50] Eiko**
but there was no feeling
of intentionality behind it.
**[09:54] Eiko**
It always felt superficial.
**[09:57] Eiko**
That makes sense. And explains why it
never stopped feeling artificial, too.
**[10:01] Nanako**
It's not like that!
**[10:02] Eiko**
It actually is.
**[10:04] Eiko**
Because you weren't serious about acting.
**[10:07] Eiko**
You can claim otherwise,
but the proof is in the performance.
**[10:12] Eiko**
If you can project your voice so well,
**[10:15] Eiko**
it must mean you've been practicing in one
way or another since you were little, right?
**[10:18] Eiko**
So why would you try to act,
instead of following your passion?
**[10:23] Nanako**
Shut up.
**[10:24] Eiko**
It's because you're scared
of taking it seriously, right?
**[10:27] Eiko**
Because if you start taking something you've
always cared about seriously, and fail?
**[10:30] Eiko**
It would refute everything you stand for.
**[10:33] Eiko**
You were afraid of committing.
**[10:35] Eiko**
So instead, because you got
compliments before, you turned to acting,
**[10:37] Eiko**
and lied about wanting to be an actress.
**[10:39] Nanako**
Shut up! Just stop talking!
**[10:41] Nanako**
What do you know?!
**[10:43] Nanako**
I've loved singing, grown up around music,
**[10:47] Nanako**
but have always been tone deaf.
**[10:49] Nanako**
If I could do something about it,
I would have by now!
**[10:54] Eiko**
But you haven't.
**[10:57] Eiko**
Then why did you join
the visual arts program?
**[11:00] Eiko**
You should've gone straight for music.
**[11:02] Eiko**
You might not've been
able to fix it at home,
**[11:04] Eiko**
but things could be different
at a proper school.
**[11:07] Eiko**
So why did you give up
at the most crucial moment?
**[11:11] Nanako**
Because...
**[11:13] Kyoya**
Nanako's been practicing, though.
**[11:16] Kyoya**
We come here all the time—
**[11:17] Kyoya**
But has she taken actual singing lessons?
**[11:19] Kyoya**
And do you have the right
knowledge to help her?
**[11:22] Kyoya**
Well...
**[11:23] Eiko**
I don't think that counts as practice.
**[11:25] Eiko**
She's just been pretending
to put in some effort.
**[11:30] Eiko**
What a waste of a gift.
**[11:34] Eiko**
Stop running away, and get serious!
**[11:37] Eiko**
If you have something you
can seriously chase after,
**[11:39] Eiko**
why wouldn't you make it
your weapon of choice?!
**[11:42] Eiko**
Instead you flit off to acting because
someone gave you some casual compliments!
**[11:45] Eiko**
That won't ever move anyone!
**[11:48] Kyoya**
Nanako!
**[11:52] Eiko**
You can hit me.
**[11:54] Eiko**
I realize what I've said deserves it.
**[11:59] Nanako**
I'm going.
**[12:00] Kyoya**
Nanako!
**[12:01] Nanako**
Don't follow me!
**[12:08] Eiko**
I should go, too.
**[12:09] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa...
**[12:11] Eiko**
If Nanako wants, I'll quit the team.
**[12:14] Eiko**
I'm sorry for causing so much trouble.
**[12:29] Kyoya**
Nanako!
**[12:30] Nanako**
Sorry. I don't feel like talking right now.
**[12:35] Roku**
It didn't work, huh?
**[12:36] Kyoya**
It felt like I had no ground to stand on.
**[12:38] Roku**
Damn it! Queen Kawasegawa had to go
and make a mess of things.
**[12:43] Shino**
I think I want Nanako to sing, too, though.
**[12:49] Kyoya**
Shinoaki...
**[12:51] Kyoya**
I mean, that's what she
really cares about, right?
**[12:53] Kyoya**
That's the only reason what
Kawasegawa-san said hit her so hard.
**[12:57] Roku**
Well, she was going to have to deal
with it sooner or later.
**[13:00] Roku**
Better for her to wrestle with it now
instead of looking back when it's too late.
**[13:05] Kyoya**
I guess...
**[13:07] Roku**
She should figure out what
she really wants, try it,
**[13:09] Roku**
and if it doesn't work out... the sooner
she can hang it up, the better.
**[13:16] Roku**
Anyway, I gotta get to work...
**[13:19] Kyoya**
Are you okay? You seem tired.
**[13:21] Roku**
I've had back-to-back shifts lately.
**[13:24] Roku**
I'm gonna get plenty of sleep
when I come home.
**[13:26] Shino**
You be careful, now.
**[13:27] Roku**
Right.
**[13:32] Kyoya**
What did you want to talk about?
**[13:35] Kyoya**
If this is about quitting
the team, I don't accept.
**[13:39] Eiko**
I genuinely feel bad
about what I said to Nanako.
**[13:42] Eiko**
And I've made trouble
for you as a result.
**[13:44] Kyoya**
It's been no trouble for me,
**[13:46] Kyoya**
and I think you said something
that Nanako needed to hear.
**[13:50] Eiko**
But she's still depressed, isn't she?
**[13:53] Kyoya**
It's her problem to work through.
**[13:55] Kyoya**
You shouldn't take it personally, Kawasegawa.
**[14:00] Eiko**
I was jealous of her.
**[14:02] Kyoya**
Jealous of Nanako?
**[14:04] Eiko**
That's right.
**[14:06] Eiko**
She has a talent that really shines,
**[14:08] Eiko**
and has been working on it
ever since she was little.
**[14:11] Eiko**
But she was pretending to not care
about it, so I got angry.
**[14:15] Eiko**
She's got such an expressive voice,
one that can enchant so many people.
**[14:19] Eiko**
She's cute and glamorous.
**[14:21] Eiko**
It really made me realize that girls like her
are the ones that become stars.
**[14:27] Eiko**
Which is why I'm worried...
**[14:29] Kyoya**
It'll be okay.
**[14:31] Kyoya**
Nanako isn't going to let this stop her.
I'll figure something out.
**[14:35] Eiko**
Do you have an idea?
**[14:37] Kyoya**
Not yet. But I know how
passionate she is about singing.
**[14:42] Kyoya**
If I can just remind her of that,
I think she'll be set.
**[14:46] Eiko**
It's weird. There's no real basis
to what you just said,
**[14:49] Eiko**
but something about it
makes me want to believe you.
**[14:53] Kyoya**
Y-You think?
**[14:57] Kyoya**
Oh, hello there.
**[14:59] Kyoya**
Are you headed to class?
**[14:59] Kakihara**
Nah, we've got preparations
for the school festival's concert.
**[15:02] Sugimoto**
We're on the production committee.
**[15:04] Sugimoto**
Sorry, we need to hurry!
**[15:06] Kyoya**
The school festival...
**[15:07] Kiryu**
What do you mean, you don't know
about the school festival?!
**[15:10] Kyoya**
W-Well, that's why I was asking...
**[15:13] Kiryu**
Allow me to enlighten you!
**[15:15] Kiryu**
Since the school's founding 40 years ago,
***SIGN*** Entrance
**[15:16] Kiryu**
nearly its entire 8,000-strong
student body has participated
**[15:19] Kiryu**
in a massive annual celebration
that lasts over three days,
**[15:22] Kiryu**
with visitor numbers estimated
in the tens of thousands!
**[15:26] Kiryu**
That's the Oonaka Arts School Festival!
**[15:28] Kyoya**
O-Okay.
**[15:30] Kiryu**
And naturally, the Fine Arts Club
will be participating, too!
**[15:33] Kiryu**
And yet in the face of such an
honored tradition, you seem to have no idea—
**[15:38] Hiyama**
Where do you get off lecturing people after
what you used that honored tradition for?!
**[15:42] Kiryu**
I'm sorry.
***SIGN*** I am not allowed to talk
**[15:49] Kyoya**
Uh... what happened, exactly?
**[15:52] Hiyama**
Our club has always taken a classroom,
and run an art exhibition there.
**[15:57] Kyoya**
Are you doing it again this year—
**[15:58] Hiyama**
That *was* the plan!
**[16:00] Hiyama**
But this idiot submitted
a crazy idea instead!
**[16:03] Kyoya**
What did you ask to do?
**[16:06] Kiryu**
A maid café.
**[16:07] ---**
What?
**[16:08] Kiryu**
I've always dreamed of it, you know?!
**[16:10] Kiryu**
Having cute girls dressed up like maids.
**[16:13] Kiryu**
And then getting pictures of us
having a fun conversation—
**[16:16] Hiyama**
You're not allowed to talk!
**[16:18] Kiryu**
R-Right...
**[16:20] Hiyama**
We're past the deadline for changing plans,
**[16:22] Hiyama**
so now I have to figure out how
to recruit enough people.
**[16:24] Kiryu**
I want our star girl to have pink hair!
**[16:28] Kiryu**
I feel like this is awakening
something inside of me!
**[16:30] Hiyama**
Where do you get off making demands?!
**[16:34] Kyoya**
There was something I wanted to ask you all.
**[16:38] Kiryu**
A tiny pink-haired—
**[16:40] Hiyama**
Pink hair, huh?
**[16:42] Hiyama**
We've got plenty of students
like that, though.
**[16:45] Kyoya**
I see...
**[16:47] Kyoya**
Oh, I think she said her name was Tomioka.
**[16:50] Keiko**
Keiko, right.
**[16:51] Kyoya**
Right! And she had a Kansai
accent, just like that...
**[16:56] Keiko**
Yo.
**[16:58] Kyoya**
Tomioka...senpai?!
**[17:01] Keiko**
Just call me Keiko.
**[17:02] Kiryu**
Hashy! Who is this pink-haired little darling?!
**[17:05] Keiko**
Upsy-daisy...
**[17:08] Keiko**
Man, I ain't been by the art club in a bit.
**[17:11] Keiko**
Does Hiroe-chan still come around?
**[17:12] Hiyama**
Huh? Hiroe-senpai, you mean?
**[17:15] Hiyama**
She graduated two years ago.
**[17:17] Keiko**
Seriously?
**[17:19] Keiko**
The kid's finally graduated, huh?
**[17:22] Hiyama**
Excuse me, but did you need something?
**[17:25] Keiko**
Oh, right, now that you mention it...
**[17:26] Keiko**
Almost forgot what I came here for.
**[17:29] Keiko**
I figured it was time you paid me back.
**[17:32] Keiko**
You wanna come work on our game?
**[17:36] Kyoya**
A game?
**[17:36] Kiryu**
Hallucigenia Soft?! They're one
of the big name dojin circles!
**[17:40] Keiko**
Yep. And I was wondering if you'd wanna
come on and direct something for us.
**[17:44] Kyoya**
Why me?
**[17:46] Keiko**
I asked some of the kids
working on the shoot,
**[17:48] Keiko**
and they said you've got some slick moves
in the production department.
**[17:52] Kyoya**
I don't know about that...
**[17:54] Keiko**
Quit trying to be modest!
**[17:56] Keiko**
So how about it? Wanna give a shot?
**[17:59] Kyoya**
* I could work on games again...*
* give my dream another shot.*
**[18:02] Kyoya**
*But...*
**[18:03] Kyoya**
I'm sorry!
**[18:05] Kyoya**
I can't... not right now.
**[18:11] Keiko**
Seems you've got a full plate, huh?
**[18:14] Kyoya**
I'm sorry.
**[18:15] Keiko**
Hey, the offer's still on the table, all right?
**[18:19] Keiko**
You still owe me one, after all.
**[18:21] Kyoya**
I appreciate it.
**[18:22] Keiko**
Since I'm here, you can have these.
***SIGN*** Chasing The Morning Sun
**[18:25] Keiko**
They should give you an idea what we're doing.
**[18:28] Keiko**
Catch ya next time.
**[18:30] Kyoya**
*Right now, I don't have what it takes.*
***SIGN*** Tomioka Keiko
***SIGN*** Tomioka Keiko
***SIGN*** Tomioka Keiko

*Not to go after what I want seriously.*
**[18:40] Kyoya**
*Amazing.*
**[18:42] Kyoya**
* Their quality is on par*
* with commercial companies.*
**[18:45] Kyoya**
*They actually got CONOCO-san to record this.*
**[18:47] Kyoya**
*We never had that kind of budget.*
**[18:51] Kyoya**
*And the singer that we did hire for our game*
**[18:53] Kyoya**
* had to be adjusted a lot*
* in the mix to be presentable.*
**[18:57] Kyoya**
* And since we didn't have*
* the money to hire someone,*
**[19:00] Kyoya**
*I ended up having to do it.*
**[19:02] Kyoya**
* I still remember spending the night*
* at the office for that.*
**[19:07] Kyoya**
*Wait, this might just be it!*
**[19:12] Kyoya**
Nanako... Nanako?
**[19:14] Nanako**
I said I didn't feel like talking. Sorry.
**[19:18] Kyoya**
I just need a minute, please.
**[19:20] Nanako**
No!
**[19:22] Nanako**
I don't have anything right now.
**[19:25] Nanako**
It's all been smashed completely...
and there's nothing left.
**[19:29] Nanako**
I have nothing to say to anyone...
so I don't want to talk.
**[19:33] Kyoya**
I know. But you do still have something.
**[19:37] Kyoya**
Something that is very important, Nanako.
**[19:40] Kyoya**
So I'm not leaving until you hear me out.
**[19:45] Kyoya**
* I brushed against*
* the freckles that I hated so...*
**[19:48] Kyoya**
* Life goes on and I heave*
* a little sigh for you.*
**[19:51] Kyoya**
* It's heavy, the love*
* that I once shared with you...*
**[19:53] Kyoya**
* But it dissolved like*
* it was just a sugar cube.*
**[19:56] Kyoya**
*Now the little pain sitting in my heart...*
**[19:59] Kyoya**
* Has shrunken a bit,*
* but it really does hurt me now.*
**[20:00] Nanako**
Is this... my voice?
**[20:04] Kyoya**
That's right. It's what your singing
can ultimately sound like.
**[20:08] Kyoya**
All I did was adjust it.
**[20:11] Nanako**
Adjust?
**[20:12] Kyoya**
Yeah. I adjusted the tone just
a little bit. Nothing else.
**[20:17] Kyoya**
Which is why I can say for sure
that this is your singing.
**[20:21] Kyoya**
I needed you to hear it.
**[20:24] Kyoya**
Your singing has incredible potential!
**[20:27] Kyoya**
And I wanted you to know.
**[20:43] Kyoya**
S-Sorry! Should I have not brought it up?
**[20:46] Nanako**
Thank you, Kyoya.
**[20:49] Nanako**
I... I've been singing for so long,
but I never liked the way it sounded.
**[20:55] Nanako**
I could never get the right pitch,
and it wouldn't sound like I wanted it to.
**[20:59] Nanako**
So I thought I could try acting,
where I could at least use my voice.
**[21:05] Nanako**
But that wasn't the right way, was it?
**[21:08] Nanako**
I think now I understand what Kawasegawa
and the professor were saying.
**[21:12] Nanako**
I can't hope to beat people
who are really taking it seriously.
**[21:15] Nanako**
And there's no way my
acting can move people.
**[21:20] Nanako**
I want to get better at singing.
**[21:22] Nanako**
I'll study for real, practice for real,
**[21:25] Nanako**
and let people hear what
I can do when I'm serious.
**[21:27] Nanako**
I want to sing a lot of amazing songs,
and touch people's hearts.
**[21:32] Nanako**
Do you think I'll be able to do it?
Will I be able to go that far?
**[21:37] Kyoya**
I'm sure you can.
**[21:39] Kyoya**
I have an idea! Will you try it
with me, Nanako?
**[21:43] Kyoya**
Oh, sorry!
**[21:47] Nanako**
I'm going to trust you, Kyoya!
**[21:50] Nanako**
So help me figure out singing! Please?
**[21:54] Kyoya**
You're going to be doing all the work.
**[21:56] Kyoya**
But I'll do whatever I can to help you.
**[22:01] Nanako**
Yeah! I'm going to figure
something out, damn it!

It'll be delivered tomorrow, then?
Okay, thank you very much.
**[00:05] Kyoya**
Okay, that takes care of the orders.
**[00:09] Nanako**
Good work.
**[00:11] Nanako**
Which do you want?
**[00:13] Nanako**
Only three days until
the school festival, huh...
**[00:16] Nanako**
Time sure does fly, doesn't it?
**[00:18] Kyoya**
It does.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Nanako**
Yeah! I'm going to figure
something out, damn it!
**[00:25] Kyoya**

* singing seriously after that.*

Time really does fly.
**[02:19] Nanako**
Hey, Kyoya...
**[02:21] Nanako**
Do you think I'll really be
able to sing if I keep this up?
**[02:27] Nanako**
I mean, it's not that
I don't like the practice!
**[02:29] Nanako**
And I can tell it's helping!
**[02:32] Nanako**
But... But still...
**[02:35] Nanako**
I'm wondering, what exactly will be
the result of all this hard work?
**[02:39] Kyoya**
You mean, like a goal?
**[02:41] Nanako**
Yeah. I'm not really sure
what mine is anymore.
**[02:45] Nanako**
It's okay for me
to keep doing this, isn't it?
**[02:48] Kyoya**
You should!
**[02:51] Kyoya**
You've finally found something
you can get serious about.
**[02:53] Kyoya**
It'd be a waste if you didn't keep going.
**[02:55] Kyoya**
I mean, I only got a taste
of how serious you are,
**[02:59] Kyoya**
and it was enough to move me!
**[03:01] Nanako**
Kyoya...
**[03:02] Nanako**
Why do you care so much
about what I do, Kyoya?
**[03:07] Kyoya**
Because I heard your singing, Nanako!
**[03:10] Kyoya**
It'd have that effect on anybody!
**[03:13] Kyoya**
If you're really not sure what you want,
I'll help you find a goal...
**[03:18] Kyoya**
And do everything I can to help.
**[03:20] Kyoya**
Until you're satisfied,
I swear I'll figure something out!
**[03:32] Nanako**
Thank you, Kyoya!
**[03:35] Nanako**
I'm so grateful.
**[03:36] Nanako**
I've never had a friend who'd
go this far for me before.
**[03:42] Nanako**
Uh, s-sorry!
**[03:44] Nanako**
That was just...
**[03:46] Nanako**
I honestly just felt grateful,
and ended up, sorta...
**[03:50] Nanako**
You know how it is, right?
**[03:51] Nanako**
People get all worked up
at school festivals!
**[03:56] Nanako**
A-Anyway, don't get the wrong idea!
**[04:01] Nanako**
But, thanks. I feel better now.
**[04:05] Kyoya**
Okay.
**[04:07] Kyoya**
* Nanako, Shinoaki,*
* Tsurayuki, and Kawasegawa...*
**[04:11] Kyoya**
*There are a lot of amazing people around me.*

* I think I was sent here*

**[05:31] Kyoya**

**[05:33] Keiko**
I heard there weren't enough people, so...

Whatcha think? Am I one hell

**[05:39] Kiryu**
You're perfect!
**[05:42] Keiko**
Well, then... guess you owe me double now.
**[05:46] Crowd**
The maids here are
supposed to be super cute!
**[05:49] Crowd**
I actually came here instead

You had a little flour on your cheek.

You're very welcome.

I'm home...
**[07:14] Roku**
Damn, what happened to you guys?
**[07:17] Kyoya**
Welcome home.
**[07:18] Nanako**
I am so tired.
**[07:22] Roku**
Is being a maid heavy labor, or something?
**[07:25] Kyoya**
We were basically packed all day.
**[07:27] Kyoya**
Which is good, but it didn't
leave us much time to rest.
**[07:31] Nanako**
And tomorrow's the last day.
**[07:35] Nanako**
This feels more like overtime
at work than a festival.
**[07:39] Kyoya**
Sorry. But considering we hit
our sales goal in just two days,
**[07:44] Kyoya**
I'll talk to our senpais and ask
about closing early tomorrow.
**[07:47] Nanako**
Please do!
**[07:50] Kyoya**
You should come and check it out, Tsurayuki.
**[07:52] Kyoya**
It's been a bigger deal
than I thought, and pretty fun.
**[07:54] Nanako**
Yeah, man! It's gotta be boring,
working all the time.
**[07:57] Nanako**
You owe yourself a change of pace.
**[07:59] Roku**
I'm not feeling bad enough
that I need a change.
**[08:03] Roku**
But I definitely have to check this out.

I am *not* an ex-gangster!
**[08:12] Nanako**
I told you to quit it with the jokes!
**[08:14] Nanako**
Plus, if you want to come, just admit it!
**[08:17] Nanako**
It's not going to kill you
to be honest, is it?

Wrong! I have a totally

You probably think
I don't fit in, don't you?
**[08:41] Kyoya**
I didn't say that.
**[08:43] Kyoya**
I just didn't think you'd come by
unless you had a reason.
**[08:46] Eiko**
I think I understand
your image of me now.
**[08:49] Eiko**
Not that you're wrong, but still...
***SIGN*** The first film directed by Inugiri Waichi

**[08:52] Eiko**
I thought I'd drop by,

**[08:55] Eiko**
Plus... well...
**[08:58] Eiko**
I wanted to apologize to her.
**[09:01] Kyoya**
To Nanako?
**[09:04] Kyoya**
I don't think you need to.
**[09:06] Eiko**
Why not?
**[09:07] Kyoya**
Because she's starting
to take singing seriously now.
**[09:11] Kyoya**
What you said to her was the trigger.
**[09:16] Eiko**
Then it was a waste of effort to come here?
**[09:20] Kyoya**
But since you're here already,
you might as well—
**[09:22] Eiko**
Why on earth would I?
**[09:24] Eiko**
I have no interest in moe-moe pancakes—
**[09:27] Eiko**
E-Er, anyway, the movie
is starting soon. I need to get going.
**[09:32] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa!
**[09:36] Kyoya**
You should listen to Nanako sing someday.
**[09:38] Eiko**
Right. Especially if she's
gotten serious about it.

**[10:00] Shino**
I wonder where Hikawa-kun is.
**[10:02] Kyoya**
He said he would be performing, but...
**[10:04] Gen**
* And thus, Sasuke died in the street,*
* exhausted and wounded.*
**[10:08] Gen**
* And only the great tree*
* where he finally fell*

*stood to mark his passing!*
**[10:12] Shino**
Kyoya-kun, look!
**[10:29] Kyoya**
That's the fine arts program for you.
This is all pretty serious stuff.
**[10:40] Kyoya**
*This is impressive.*

*The composition is well thought-out...*

Kyoya-kun, you're real grown up,

We expected Mori Shogo

**[12:50] Nanako**
No way! Isn't that...
**[12:52] Hikawa**
That's not the kind of artist you'd get
at most school festivals.
**[12:55] Kakihara**
Yeah.
**[12:56] Kakihara**
But we were lucky enough to talk
to him before he went on hiatus.
**[13:00] Kakihara**
We got word of him accepting, too.
**[13:03] Sugimoto**
But now we're hearing that he'll be a no-show.
**[13:06] Sugimoto**
Apparently it's at the same time as
the filming of some music program for TV.
**[13:11] Sugimoto**
And since he was going to be a secret guest,
**[13:13] Sugimoto**
they say to just put someone else on!
**[13:16] Sugimoto**
Damn it!
**[13:19] Keiko**
In that case...
**[13:21] Keiko**
I figure you just gotta put
someone else on, instead.
**[13:25] Kakihara**
It's not that easy! Who could

**[13:29] Keiko**
What're you, dense?

You'll have to stick around

**[14:01] Nanako**
K-Kyoya, you're joking, right?
**[14:03] Kyoya**
No, I'm not.
**[14:06] Kyoya**
You're the only one who can do this.
**[14:09] Kyoya**
Let's use the fact that you never
publicized who it was to our advantage.
**[14:11] Kyoya**
A backing band with an unknown singer...
**[14:13] Kyoya**
That would explain why
it was listed as a secret.
**[14:16] Kakihara**
But...
**[14:17] Sugimoto**
I think Nanako can pull it off.
**[14:19] Sugimoto**
It's still rough around the edges,
**[14:21] Sugimoto**
but her voice has a power to resonate
directly with the listener's heart.
**[14:25] Sugimoto**
It hasn't been long,
but I've been teaching her right.
**[14:29] Kakihara**
But if this fails, it could
ruin the entire show.
**[14:34] Kakihara**
If she's going to do this,
she needs to be prepared.
**[14:37] Kyoya**
Right. I understand.
**[14:40] Kakihara**
I'll go talk to the backing band.
**[14:45] Roku**
This has turned into a whole thing, huh?

There are only ten minutes

**[15:49] Roku**
It's all right. Nanako will show,

You knew where I had been practicing, huh?
**[16:20] Kyoya**
Of course.
**[16:22] Nanako**
I understand in my head.
This is a big chance.
**[16:25] Nanako**
A way to confront everything
I've been putting off all along.
**[16:31] Nanako**
But... confronting it
means potentially losing.
**[16:36] Nanako**
And if I lose this time...
If I lose when I'm serious, then...
**[16:41] Kyoya**
It's okay. You won't lose, Nanako.
**[16:43] Nanako**
Why?! How can you be so sure, Kyoya?!
**[16:50] Kyoya**
Because you've practiced so much.
**[16:52] Nanako**
No...
**[16:54] Nanako**
It doesn't matter how much you practice...
an actual performance is different.
**[16:58] Nanako**
I can't sing in front of people.
Not in front of a crowd of hundreds...
**[17:03] Nanako**
The idea of that many people judging me...
**[17:08] Nanako**
It's terrifying.
**[17:10] Nanako**
Right now, I'm seriously terrified.
**[17:13] Nanako**
This isn't like it was before.
**[17:15] Nanako**
No one's going to go, "That was bad, but kind
of impressive," or, "You're almost there."
**[17:20] Nanako**
Excuses won't cut it.
**[17:22] Nanako**
I'm so scared about it, I feel
like I'm going to fall apart.
**[17:26] Kyoya**
You're scared because you're serious.
**[17:30] Kyoya**
Because you're taking singing seriously.
**[17:32] Kyoya**
Remember, I said I would figure
something out to help you.
**[17:37] Nanako**
Damn it! How can you be so sure, Kyoya?!
**[17:42] Kyoya**

I seriously love the way your huskiness comes out on the high pitched parts
***SIGN*** Saito
I seriously love the way your huskiness comes out on the high pitched parts
**[20:33] (Flashback) Kyoya**
You've already sung in front
of thousands of people...
**[20:34] Nanako**
*I'll fight to keep my soul for breaking;*
***SIGN*** Rua
Ahhhh! So good! I love it!
Omurice
Whoa, I never thought you would sing this song... (°°∀°°)
It was just too cool!
Thank you!
**[20:36] (Flashback) Kyoya**
If you ask me, it doesn't make any
sense to be afraid of a few hundred.
**[20:38] Nanako**
* I'll do it my way,*
* and as our moments overlap...*
**[20:43] Nanako**
*God bless the both of us*
**[20:44] (Flashback) Kyoya**
Come on. I'm sure they'll
all become fans of yours.
**[20:47] Nanako**
* You were there,*
* and I was there, and everyone else*
**[20:52] (Flashback) Nanako**
Yeah!
**[20:55] Nanako**
*Had seemed to disappear*
**[20:55] Nanako**
* I know the world's not so simple that hard work*
* is enough to get you where you want to be...*
**[21:00] Nanako**
* As I tried to create*
* the beauty of a fleeting dream*
**[21:01] Nanako**
*But!*
**[21:03] Nanako**
*I want my feelings to reach them!*
**[21:06] Eiko**
Not bad at all.
**[21:08] Kyoya**
This is what Nanako can do
when she's serious.
**[21:08] Nanako**
*I ran a finger across my scars*
**[21:10] Eiko**
So? What kind of trick
did you use this time?
**[21:13] Nanako**
*And that is why I will be*
**[21:15] Kyoya**
I wouldn't call it a trick...
**[21:16] Nanako**
*Following you no matter how much it hurts*
**[21:17] Kyoya**
The videos we uploaded got
a bigger response than I anticipated.
**[21:19] Nanako**
*Even in the darkest parts of the world*
**[21:21] Kyoya**
*Granted, there were negative comments, too.*
**[21:22] Nanako**
* Because I know you'll be there,*
* shining through into the future!*
**[21:24] Kyoya**
* But Nanako's voice drew in a lot*
* more people than it turned away.*
**[21:29] Kyoya**
*Nanako didn't run away.*
**[21:29] Nanako**
*And because I know my weakness,*
***SIGN*** ○ Poor enunciation on H-sounds

Mind the distinctions in articulation!
**[21:31] Kyoya**
* She kept an open mind*
* about even the harshest criticisms...*
**[21:32] Nanako**
*I'll fight to keep my soul for breaking*
**[21:34] Kyoya**
* And incorporated the advice she got*
* into the next video she uploaded.*
**[21:35] Nanako**
* I'll do it my way,*
* and as our moments overlap...*
**[21:38] Kyoya**
* On the internet, artists and fans collaborate*
* to make music through feedback.*
**[21:41] Nanako**
*God bless the both of us*
**[21:43] Kyoya**
* And in ten years, when this they dub*
* this kind of thing "user generated content"...*
**[21:48] Kyoya**
*Nanako will have gained wings of song.*
**[21:52] Kyoya**
* The first time I heard this voice,*
* it captured my heart.*
**[21:56] Kyoya**
*I wasn't sure why, but now I understand.*
**[22:01] Kyoya**
*It's nice to meet you, N@NA.*
**[22:06] Host**
And that completes the program
for our music festival!
**[22:11] Host**
Goodbye everyone, and thanks for coming!
**[22:16] Nanako**
Kyoya, I did it! I managed to sing!
**[22:20] Nanako**
Huh? Where is he?
**[22:22] Roku**
Good work out there.
**[22:23] Roku**
Kyoya's still in the seats, probably.
**[22:26] Nanako**
Oh, right.
**[22:27] Nanako**
I need to thank him! Gotta find him first!
**[22:29] Roku**
Hey!
**[22:34] Shino**
Sorry to drag you away
from Nanako's encore...
**[22:38] Kyoya**
It's fine. But are you okay?
**[22:41] Kyoya**
I thought maybe the crowd got to you.
**[22:44] Shino**
Yeah, I'm feeling better now.
**[22:48] Shino**
The school festival's over, huh?
**[22:52] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[22:55] Kyoya**
What is it?
**[22:56] Shino**
I was just thinking how we're
about the same height, like this.
**[23:01] Kyoya**
Oh, yeah. Now that you mention it...
**[23:12] Shino**
Kinda... got carried away there.
**[23:15] Kyoya**
What do you mean, kinda?
**[23:17] Shino**
Maybe it's because of the festival?
**[23:20] Kyoya**
Is that... really it?

**[00:06] Kyoya**
I fell asleep?
**[00:09] Kyoya**
Sh-Shinoaki?!
**[00:13] Shino**
Guess the sun's up.
**[00:17] Shino**
G'morning.
**[00:20] Kyoya**
Uh, good morning.

**[00:22] Kyoya**
Oh, you came to check out reference material,
and then fell asleep.
**[00:25] Shino**
Sorry for falling asleep like that.
**[00:28] Shino**
But I think I've got the right idea
for what I wanna draw next!
**[00:31] Kyoya**
That's good. I guess you'll
be getting back to work...
**[00:38] Kyoya**
Um...
**[00:40] Kyoya**
*This... is confirmed now, right?*
**[00:49] Nanako**
Kyoya!
**[00:50] Nanako**
Breakfast is ready, so get your butt—
**[00:54] Nanako**
Wow. Pretty bold, aren't you?
**[00:56] Kyoya**
Uh, it's not that, we were just—
**[00:58] Nanako**
Well, get a move on! Tsurayuki's waiting!
**[01:03] Shino**
What do you reckon she's mad about?
**[01:08] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki, the professor mentioned
you'd been missing class lately.
**[01:13] Roku**
Yeah, I've been packing
in the shifts at work lately.
**[01:16] Nanako**
You sure you weren't just skipping class?
**[01:19] Roku**
What, like you? Stupid.
**[01:20] Nanako**
It's rude to call people stupid, stupid!
**[01:23] Shino**
Is that what it was? I was worried
you weren't feeling too good.
**[01:29] Roku**
Nah, that's not it at all.
I'm the picture of health.
**[01:33] Shino**
That's good.
**[01:38] Roku**
I'll be going to class more
regularly starting next week.
**[01:41] Roku**
So tell the prof not to worry.
**[01:43] Kyoya**
Okay. Sure.
**[01:46] Kyoya**
* But in the following week,*
* Tsurayuki didn't show up for class.*
**[01:53] Kyoya**
I'm heading out!
**[01:56] Roku**
Let go of me already!
**[01:58] Shino**
I sure as heck ain't!
**[02:00] Kyoya**
What's going on, you two?
**[02:02] Roku**
I said I was fine, but she
won't shut up about getting rest!
**[02:05] Shino**
How in tarnation are you fine?!
**[02:07] Shino**
You've been under th' weather
all the time lately!
**[02:09] Shino**
You *just* threw up in the bathroom!
**[02:11] Roku**
I just ate too much yesterday!
**[02:13] Roku**
Seriously, it's nothing,
just stop worry...ing...
**[02:17] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki!
**[02:18] Shino**
Tsurayuki-kun!
**[02:19] Kyoya**
Come on! Hang in there, Tsurayuki!
**[02:28] Roku**
See? I told you, it was nothing.
**[02:31] Kyoya**
How exactly is sleep deprivation
and burnout from work nothing?
**[02:35] Kyoya**
The doctor said you needed
to get plenty of bed rest!
**[02:39] Kyoya**
And to not do any work that involves
physical activity for the foreseeable future.
**[02:43] Roku**
Sorry for dragging you out here.
**[02:45] Roku**
You don't need to worry any more, though.
**[02:51] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki, what are you so on edge about?
**[02:55] Kyoya**
It's weird. You're working
yourself to death.
**[03:00] Roku**
It's none of your business.
**[03:02] Kyoya**
Why not? Tell me the reason.
**[03:04] Kyoya**
I might be able to help!
**[03:06] Roku**
How the hell are you gonna do that?!
**[03:10] Roku**
Sorry for yelling, man.
**[03:14] Roku**
Look... I'm fighting with my parents.
**[03:18] Roku**
I've been paying my tuition myself.
**[03:21] Roku**
I come from a long line of doctors,
so they want me to be one, too.
**[03:25] Roku**
I ran out because I didn't want to do that.
**[03:28] Roku**
And with that kind of background,
I couldn't get a scholarship.
**[03:31] Roku**
So I took on as much work as I could.
**[03:34] Roku**
But I guess if I have to ditch class for work,
I'm putting the cart in front of the horse.
**[03:41] Roku**
I managed to rebel against my
parents for this long, but...
**[03:44] Roku**
I think my little struggle for independence
has gone as far as it can.
**[03:48] Roku**
If I can't pay my tuition, and can't work,
then I can't do anything.
**[03:53] Roku**
I've got nothing left.
**[03:58] Roku**
There's just no way.
**[04:03] Kyoya**
*There's no way?*
**[04:06] Kyoya**
*There* has *to be!*
**[04:08] Kyoya**
*I know there has to be something! Think!*
**[04:14] Kyoya**
There is something.
**[04:17] Kyoya**
A way for you to make money on your own.
**[04:24] Roku**
You are seriously something, man!
**[04:27] Roku**
Whenever we think something
is a lost cause, you flip it around...
**[04:31] Roku**
And somehow manage to pull it off.
**[04:33] Roku**
But I'm telling you...
**[04:35] Roku**
That this is no joke, all right?
**[04:38] Roku**
You're dealing with something I don't want
other people messing with right now!
**[04:42] Roku**
When you say this is possible,
do you realize that?!
**[04:44] Kyoya**
I do.
**[04:45] Roku**
It doesn't look like it!
**[04:52] Kyoya**
I'm not just tossing out a theory here.
**[04:54] Kyoya**
I have a plan.
**[05:00] Roku**
You actually have an idea?
**[05:06] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[05:09] Kyoya**
I do.
**[05:12] Kyoya**
We'll figure it out.
We really will, damn it!
**[06:50] Nanako**
We're all...
**[06:51] Roku**
...going to make...
**[06:52] Shino**
...a game?
**[06:53] Kyoya**
That's right.
**[06:54] Roku**
Like, the kind you play on a console?
**[06:58] Roku**
What we're going to make is a doujin game,
and they're usually played on PCs.
**[07:02] Shino**
Doujin game?
**[07:04] Kyoya**
Right.
**[07:05] Kyoya**
It's not like games made by businesses
and distributed to retailers.
**[07:07] Kyoya**
Individuals work together to make them...
And then sell them at direct market events.
**[07:11] Nanako**
Oh, I get it, like indie music.
**[07:14] Roku**
And we're going to be making a novel game,
**[07:18] Roku**
which uses text and images
for a sort of picture show.
**[07:22] Roku**
That way, we won't need a lot
of technical expertise, plus...
**[07:26] Roku**
I get you!
**[07:27] Roku**
And I'm going to write the script?
**[07:30] Kyoya**
Exactly!
**[07:31] Kyoya**
Shinoaki can do the illustrations.
**[07:33] Kyoya**
And Nanako will handle the background music.
**[07:36] Shino**
Sure thing! Sounds like fun!
**[07:38] Nanako**
But I've hardly composed anything before.
**[07:42] Kyoya**
I'll teach you how, along with how
to use the equipment involved.
**[07:45] Kyoya**
I'm going to be the director,
so I'll be there to back you all up.
**[07:50] Shino**
Having you manage everything
is a big relief, Kyoya-kun!
**[07:54] Nanako**
Well, if Kyoya-kun's in charge,
that's reassuring.
**[07:57] Roku**
I'm sorry to drag you all into my business!
**[08:01] Shino**
You don't need to worry none.
**[08:03] Nanako**
Man, I've never seen
Tsurayuki grateful before!
**[08:06] Roku**
I'm deducting my gratitude toward you.
**[08:08] Nanako**
Why?! You should give me extra, in fact!
**[08:13] Keiko**
Whatcha need?
**[08:15] Keiko**
You decided to finally help our circle out?
**[08:18] Kyoya**
I'm sorry. Not exactly...
**[08:21] Kyoya**
I wanted to ask you about something important.
**[08:23] Keiko**
Damn, you seem pretty serious.
**[08:26] Keiko**
You get into some kinda trouble, kid?
**[08:29] Keiko**
Or didja mess around with the wrong gal?
**[08:33] Kyoya**
I need to earn some money!
**[08:36] Keiko**
Gimme the details.
**[08:43] Keiko**
I get ya...
**[08:46] Keiko**
That does seem like you'd
needta put a rush on it.
**[08:48] Kyoya**
Right. Tuition is due by May,
so before then...
**[08:53] Keiko**
Making money offa doujin
games ain't easy, though.
**[08:58] Keiko**
You kids might be talented,
but the trick to selling this kinda stuff
**[09:01] Keiko**
is having a big name attached.
**[09:04] Kyoya**
I know. That's what I'm asking
to borrow from you.
**[09:08] Keiko**
I getcha.
**[09:10] Keiko**
You wanna put your game out
as a new release from Hallucigenia Soft?
**[09:14] Kyoya**
I realize how presumptuous this is.
**[09:17] Kyoya**
But... it's the only solution I can think of.
**[09:22] Keiko**
All right. You can use our name.
**[09:26] Kyoya**
Really?! Thank you so much!
**[09:28] Keiko**
But in exchange...
**[09:31] Keiko**
I've got some stipulations.
**[09:32] Kyoya**
You do?
**[09:35] Kyoya**
* It has to be something*
* that will sell well, huh?*
**[09:38] Kyoya**
*That's a simple request, but a tough one.*
**[09:42] Kyoya**
* It's ten years in the past, so the urban*
* fantasy trend has just about run its course.*
**[09:46] Kyoya**
*What came after that?*
**[09:48] Kyoya**
* It has to be easy to understand, simple to*
* conceive of, but steadfastly popular.*
**[09:53] Kyoya**
Okay!
**[09:55] Shino**
A school story?
**[09:57] Roku**
And that is...
**[09:58] Kyoya**
*Right! I need to explain that part, too.*
**[10:02] Kyoya**
Well, school stories are...
**[10:05] Kyoya**
Stories that take place
in and surrounding a school.
**[10:08] Roku**
So it's super literal?
Still not sure I get it.
**[10:12] Roku**
Shouldn't there be like,
monsters and stuff, too?
**[10:15] Kyoya**
I don't think that would be
a good idea at this stage.
**[10:19] Kyoya**
I can't be certain, but there's
a good chance it wouldn't sell.
**[10:23] Roku**
So it's a question of popularity.
**[10:25] Roku**
In that case, I guess I get it.
**[10:28] Kyoya**
Now, most games with school stories
tend to focus on romance.
**[10:32] Nanako**
R-Romance?!
**[10:34] Kyoya**
Are you okay?
**[10:35] Nanako**
T-Totally fine!
**[10:38] Nanako**
Continue, by all means.
**[10:39] Kyoya**
There are also sexy scenes where—
**[10:42] Roku**
Sex?!
**[10:45] Kyoya**
I-Is there a problem?
**[10:53] Roku**
Kyoya!
**[10:54] Roku**
You're talking about like...
actual scenes where people do it, right?
**[10:58] Kyoya**
I am. That's a part of it.
**[11:04] Roku**
To be honest with you, I don't have
any of that kind of experience.
**[11:09] Kyoya**
That kind as in...
**[11:13] Kyoya**
Oh! I-It's fine!
**[11:15] Kyoya**
There are professional writers who deal
with that kind of material without any experience.
**[11:18] Roku**
You mean it?!
**[11:19] Kyoya**
Yeah! So, don't worry.
**[11:22] Roku**
I see...
**[11:25] Roku**
Man, what am I gonna do?
**[11:27] Kyoya**
So I think we should make a school story.
**[11:30] Shino**
Teacher, question!
**[11:32] Kyoya**
What is it?
**[11:32] Shino**
I've never played games like that before.
**[11:35] Shino**
So I'm not really sure what one's like.
**[11:37] Nanako**
Oh, me neither.
**[11:39] Kyoya**
You want to try one?
**[11:42] Kyoya**
I have some installed on this laptop.
**[11:45] Nanako**
O-Okay, we'll go check it out.
**[11:49] Nanako**
Come on!
**[11:49] Shino**
Okay!
**[11:57] Nanako**
Wh-What is that?!
**[11:59] Kyoya**
What's wrong?
**[12:00] Nanako**
That cute girl showed up...
**[12:02] Nanako**
But then there was all that stuff,
and they did something crazy!
**[12:05] Nanako**
I was so shocked and embarrassed!
**[12:07] Kyoya**
Nanako, that hurts!
**[12:09] Nanako**
What the heck was that?! Seriously!
**[12:09] Shino**
I don't really get what was going on,
but the game seems fun.
**[12:13] Kyoya**
Ow!
**[12:13] Nanako**
It was way more extreme than "fun"!
**[12:17] Nanako**
Kyoya, you stupid pervert!
I have no idea what's wrong with you!
**[12:25] Kyoya**
*This isn't going to be easy...*
**[12:27] Kyoya**
*But I can't give up.*
**[12:31] Kyoya**
*I'm the only one who can help Tsurayuki.*
**[12:38] Eiko**
Hashiba!
**[12:40] Eiko**
Care to join me for lunch?
**[12:42] Kyoya**
Sorry, I've got to meet somebody!
**[12:49] Kiryu**
How do you know
about this guy anyway, Hashy?
**[12:52] Kyoya**
I happened to see his work
at the school festival.
**[12:54] Kyoya**
And I thought he'd be perfect...
**[12:56] Kiryu**
I'm amazed you remember
something like that.
**[12:59] Kyoya**
* Well, what I really remember is his name*
* from ten years in the future.*
**[13:04] Yamashina**
I'm the club president,
Yamashina. Nice to meet you.
**[13:07] Kyoya**
I'm Hashiba.
**[13:08] Kyoya**
I'll get right to the point.
**[13:10] Kyoya**
I'd like you to handle the backgrounds
for our doujin game.
**[13:14] Yamashina**
That sounds great.
**[13:15] Yamashina**
I can't do character art, so my work
doesn't get a lot of attention.
**[13:21] Kyoya**
*That settles that! Next is equipment!*
**[13:25] Clerk**
Thank you very much!
**[13:27] Keiko**
I heard they opened
a big Yodobushi in Umeda,
**[13:30] Keiko**
but if you want actual parts,
nothing beats Ponbashi.
**[13:33] Kyoya**
I'm amazed at how much we bought.
**[13:36] Keiko**
Well, when you're making a game,
**[13:38] Keiko**
it pays to make sure you've got beefy hardware.
**[13:40] Keiko**
Otherwise...
**[13:43] Kyoya**
Is something wrong?
**[13:45] Keiko**
Get a load of that.
**[13:47] Kyoya**
She definitely stands out, doesn't she?
**[13:50] Keiko**
You figure some li'l princess is out
buying doujinshi in secret?
**[13:54] Kyoya**
I doubt it. Anyway, Keiko-san,
didn't you have more shopping?
**[13:57] Keiko**
Oh, good point! Let's get a move on.
**[14:05] Kanou**
I see...
**[14:07] Kanou**
I didn't realize that Rokuonji
was in that kind of situation.
**[14:09] Kyoya**
Right, which is why we're all
working together to support him.
**[14:13] Kanou**
You are? This isn't any kind
of shady work, is it?
**[14:16] Kyoya**
N-No, don't worry!
**[14:19] Kyoya**
* I'm not sure what she'd say if I told her*
* we're working on a doujin game.*
**[14:23] Kanou**
I thought you might do something like
borrow the name of a famous circle
**[14:27] Kanou**
to try and sell a doujin game
that you're making.
**[14:31] Kanou**
What's wrong?
**[14:32] Kyoya**
Uh, Sensei, where did you hear about that?
**[14:36] Keiko**
Doncha know that honesty's the best policy?
**[14:39] Kyoya**
K-Keiko-san?!
**[14:44] Kyoya**
So the two of you have worked
on games together before?
**[14:49] Kanou**
Right. I'm retired, though.
**[14:52] Keiko**
Kanou-chan was a big help back in the day!
**[14:55] Keiko**
And if her student's in trouble,
I figure it's the least I could do to help!
**[14:59] Kanou**
Is that it? Because I thought you were
interested in turning a profit.
**[15:03] Keiko**
I mean, the cash
is a separate issue altogether!
**[15:07] Kyoya**
I think I'll choose to believe in
the more admirable motivation.
**[15:09] Kanou**
Well, Keiko's explained what's
going on with your game dev,
**[15:13] Kanou**
but don't let it interfere
too much with your studies.
**[15:16] Kyoya**
It's okay, then?
**[15:18] Kanou**
Every aspect of production
is going to aid in your education.
**[15:22] Kanou**
I think it'll be a good experience.
**[15:25] Keiko**
How's it coming along, anyway?
**[15:27] Keiko**
Smooth sailing so far?
**[15:29] Kyoya**
W-Well... sure.
**[15:38] Roku**
I don't get it!
**[15:41] Kyoya**
What's wrong?
**[15:43] Roku**
I've been playing that game
you lent me as a sample.
**[15:47] Roku**
All of those girls, for no reason
and with no impetus,
**[15:50] Roku**
are in love with me
as soon as the game begins!
**[15:53] Roku**
What's up with that?!
**[15:55] Kyoya**
That's just how it goes.
Try to understand.
**[15:57] Roku**
Okay, but even if I'm willing to accept that,
**[16:00] Roku**
what's with their speech?!
**[16:02] Roku**
"Takumi-kun, I hope you had
a meowy good day at work!"
**[16:04] Roku**
Who talks like that?!
**[16:06] Kyoya**
It's just how these things go...
**[16:08] Nanako**
Kyoya...
**[16:11] Kyoya**
N-Nanako?!
**[16:13] Nanako**
I don't get it.
**[16:16] Nanako**
I have no idea how composing
on a computer works.
**[16:20] Nanako**
What's going on there?
**[16:21] Nanako**
Instead of a musical score,
there are these weird bars.
**[16:24] Kyoya**
I know it might be confusing at first,
**[16:26] Kyoya**
but once you get used to it,
it's easier! Okay?
**[16:29] Nanako**
You sure?
**[16:33] Shino**
Kyoya-kun!
**[16:34] Shino**
Art for games is tough, huh?
**[16:39] Kyoya**
Shinoaki!
**[16:41] Kyoya**
Please... Please, refer to the
sample art I gave you! Okay?
**[16:46] Roku**
* This is about the furthest possible*
* thing from smooth sailing.*
**[16:54] Teacher**
Control the centrifugal force
by keeping your left wrist steady.
**[16:59] Kyoya**
*I got hardly any sleep last night.*
**[17:03] Kyoya**
Shinoaki?
**[17:08] Kyoya**
Shinoaki!
**[17:10] Shino**
I'm a little sleepy...
**[17:12] Kyoya**
More than a little! Be careful—
**[17:16] Kyoya**
Nanako?!
**[17:21] Nanako**
I dozed off...
**[17:24] Kyoya**
Here, let me wipe that off!
**[17:26] Roku**
What's up, Kyoya? Everything going okay?
**[17:31] Kyoya**
You're the one not doing okay!
What are you even making?!
**[17:36] Roku**
Hey, you're right. My bad.
**[17:38] Teacher**
That group over there!
What are you all doing?!
**[17:41] Kyoya**
Sorry!
**[17:44] Eiko**
What is going on?
**[17:46] Eiko**
You've all been half-asleep through
both your general education and arts classes.
**[17:50] Kyoya**
Sorry... there's a good reason.
**[17:53] Eiko**
I bet there is. I'd really
let you have it, otherwise.
**[17:58] Eiko**
So?
**[17:59] Kyoya**
Well...
**[18:04] Eiko**
I see. That is rough.
**[18:06] Kyoya**
Could you keep it quiet, though?
**[18:09] Kyoya**
It's not the kind of thing you
want to spread around.
**[18:11] Eiko**
Of course.
**[18:13] Eiko**
So? What can I do to help?
**[18:16] Eiko**
That's what you need, right?
**[18:18] Eiko**
If there's anything I can contribute,
just let me know.
**[18:21] Kyoya**
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
**[18:24] Kyoya**
The first thing that comes to mind...
**[18:26] Kyoya**
There are issues with the
script and art direction...
**[18:28] Kyoya**
There's also the progress on the opening...
**[18:30] Eiko**
Okay, I'm catching a bus.
**[18:33] Kyoya**
Yeah. Thanks for offering your advice.
**[18:36] Kyoya**
See you around.
**[18:41] Eiko**
Hashiba...
**[18:43] Eiko**
You're a competent worker,
and you're smart enough,
**[18:47] Eiko**
but it seems to me like
you might be overdoing it.
**[18:50] Eiko**
Are you... really okay?
**[18:54] Kyoya**
Yeah. It's not a problem.
**[18:56] Eiko**
Okay... if you say so.
**[19:14] Roku**
All right...
**[19:15] Roku**
Kyoya, check this section for me.
**[19:17] Kyoya**
Okay.
**[19:23] Kyoya**
I think the writing might
be a little stiff, still.
**[19:25] Roku**
Still? I thought I had fixed that,
for the most part.
**[19:28] Kyoya**
Considering the genre,
it needs to be a bit more loose.
**[19:31] Kyoya**
I also think there might be too
much narration, relatively speaking.
**[19:34] Kyoya**
I'd like you to increase
the amount of dialogue.
**[19:36] Roku**
Seriously?!
**[19:37] Roku**
But... if you say so. I'll get on that, then.
**[19:41] Kyoya**
Sorry. I appreciate it.
**[19:43] Nanako**
Dinner's ready!
**[19:45] Kyoya**
Coming!
**[19:48] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki?
**[19:49] Roku**
Sorry. I'll be along in a sec.

**[20:16] Shino**
Y'know, the other day,
I saw the strangest-looking folks.
**[20:20] Kyoya**
You did?
**[20:21] Shino**
It was over in the school parking lot.
**[20:23] Shino**
This big old black car pulls up,
and out comes a big fella in a black suit,
**[20:29] Shino**
and this cute gal in a fur coat!
**[20:33] Shino**
I wonder if they're students.
**[20:36] Nanako**
What the heck? Sounds like a yakuza princess.
**[20:40] Kyoya**
Now that you mention it, I think
I might've seen the same people.
**[20:45] Roku**
Shinoaki... was this girl
wearing a white beret?
**[20:49] Shino**
Yeah, she was.
**[20:52] Roku**
W-With short hair?
**[20:54] Roku**
And a sorta, general vibe
of being a rich girl?
**[20:56] Roku**
Did you notice that?!
**[21:07] Kyoya**
H-Hey, Tsurayuki, what's gotten into...
**[21:09] Roku**
Guys, sorry, but I need
to make myself scarce for today!
**[21:12] Kyoya**
Wait, why?!
**[21:14] Roku**
I'll explain when I get back!
**[21:21] Sayuri**
I knew this was the place!
**[21:24] Shino**
It's her!
**[21:25] Roku**
S-Sayuri-nee...
**[21:27] Sayuri**
Tsu-kun! It's been ages!
**[21:29] Sayuri**
I missed you so much!
**[21:31] Roku**
G-Get off! Seriously, Sayuri-nee, let me go!
**[21:34] Sayuri**
Why, though?
**[21:36] Sayuri**
Shouldn't we smooch now,
to celebrate our reunion?
**[21:40] Sayuri**
Come on, Tsu-kun!
**[21:43] Roku**
Hang on a...
**[21:48] Sayuri**
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
My name is Jisshoji Sayuri.
**[21:53] Sayuri**
I am Rokuonji Tsurayuki-san's...
**[21:56] Sayuri**
Fiancée!
**[21:58] Kyoya**
F... F... F...
**[22:00] Everyone**
Fiancée?!

***SIGN*** August 2016
**[00:05] Kyo**
* My name's Hashiba Kyoya,*
* and I'm 28 years old.*
**[00:08] Kyo**
*The kind of soon-to-be-middle-aged bachelor*
**[00:10] Kyo**
*that you can find just about anywhere.*
**[00:14] Kyo**
* As you might expect, I've got*
* no girlfriend, and no money.*
**[00:18] Kyo**
*And now I don't even have a job...*
**[00:21] Kyo**
*Which means I can't pay rent anymore,*
**[00:25] Kyo**
* forcing me to pay for an express bus ticket*
* with the last of my cash.*
**[00:28] Kyo**
* And here I find myself,*
* back at my parents' house.*
**[00:32] Kyo**
* I tried my hand at everything I could,*
* and none of it amounted to anything.*
***SIGN*** September 2016
***SIGN*** We wish you luck in your future endeavors.
**[01:03] Kyouya**
Don't do it!
**[01:14] Kyoya**
I can't believe I landed
a gig at SucceedSoft.
**[01:22] Kyoya**
Better work hard! This is a big chance!
***SIGN*** Development Group 2
**[01:27] ---**
Welcome, Hashiba Kyoya-san.
**[01:29] ---**
I'm the head of SucceedSoft's

Nice to have you.
***SIGN*** November 2016
**[01:35] Eiko**
Everyone, can I have a word?
**[01:39] Eiko**
I have something I need to tell you all.
**[01:43] Eiko**
The Platinum project...
**[01:48] Eiko**
has been frozen, as decided
by a meeting of the board of directors.
**[01:53] Kyoya**
Why?! What happened?
**[01:56] Eiko**
I wish I could have done more.
**[02:01] Eiko**
I'm sorry.
**[02:02] Kyoya**
*Again...*
**[02:05] Kyoya**
*It happened again.*

**[02:31] Kyoya**
*And...*
**[02:32] Kyoya**
*And then...*
**[02:35] Kyoya**
What the hell difference does it make?!
**[02:37] Kyoya**
It's too late.
**[02:41] Miyo**
Onii-chan!
**[02:43] Miyo**
Onii-chan.
**[02:48] Miyo**
Finally. Were you so excited
you passed out, or something?
**[02:51] Kyoya**
Come on... are you being sarcastic or—
**[02:55] Kyoya**
Uh... since when are you into cosplay?
**[02:58] Miyo**
What're you talking about?
**[03:01] Miyo**
Anyway, Dad wanted to know what
you wanted for your celebratory dinner.
**[03:06] Kyoya**
Celebrating?
**[03:08] Miyo**
You were freaking out
about getting in before.
**[03:11] Miyo**
"I got into Oonaka Arts!"
**[03:13] Kyoya**
That was a decade ago.
**[03:17] Miyo**
Onii-chan, what are you talking about?
**[03:19] Kyoya**
What do you mean? I could ask you...
**[03:26] Kyoya**
Uh, did you borrow some of my books?
**[03:30] Miyo**
Sure didn't.
**[03:31] Miyo**
You always get mad when I do.
**[03:33] Kyoya**
Huh?
**[03:34] Kyoya**
Didn't we get rid of this CRT?
**[03:37] Kyoya**
Maybe I should use my smartphone to—
**[03:40] Kyoya**
A flip phone?!
**[03:49] Kyoya**
2006?!
**[03:58] Kyoya**
*"Once time passes, it never comes back."*
**[04:01] Kyoya**
*"There are no second chances in life."*
**[04:04] Kyoya**
*I always believed that...*
**[04:07] Kyoya**
*But right now, what I am experiencing*
***SIGN*** Oonaka University of Art, Visual Arts Department
**[04:11] Kyoya**
* is the world from ten years ago that*
* I've been dying to go back to.*
***SIGN*** Oonaka University of Art
**[05:53] Kyoya**
* I have no idea how it happened,*
* but I've reverted ten years into the past.*
**[06:03] Kyoya**
Here we go.
**[06:04] Kyoya**
Share House Kitayama.
**[06:06] Nana**
Okay, I'll go first, then.
**[06:08] Nana**
I'm Kogure Nanako!
**[06:10] Nana**
I'm originally from Shiga Prefecture!
**[06:12] Nana**
You can call me Nanako!
**[06:14] Kyoya**
Nice to meet you.
**[06:15] Kyo**
Let me guess: it was art school
or a life of crime—
**[06:20] Nana**
You've got a talent
for being a pain in the ass
**[06:22] Nana**
when I've only known you
for, like, 30 seconds.
**[06:25] Roku**
*Let's not make fun of her, then.*
**[06:29] Roku**
I'm Rokuonji Tsurayuki...
**[06:32] Roku**
I guess I'll keep it casual, too.
**[06:34] Kyoya**
I'll go next!
**[06:37] Kyoya**
I'm Hashiba Kyoya.
**[06:39] Kyoya**
Nice to meet you.
**[06:40] Kyoya**
You can just call me Kyoya too—
**[06:41] Nana**
In that case, Kyoya,
I need to clarify something...
**[06:45] Kyoya**
Wh-What's that?
**[06:46] Nana**
Could you explain the sequence of events
between yesterday and today in detail?
**[06:50] Kyoya**
I already did, though!
**[06:53] ---**
It was a coincidence! And, well...
**[06:55] Roku**
So you coincidentally spent the night
with a girl you just met...
**[06:59] Roku**
Before giving her a little bit
of the milky splash?
**[07:03] Kyoya**
Seriously, it was just a—
**[07:05] Nana**
Unbelievable!
**[07:08] Roku**
This should be interesting, I think.
**[07:11] Shino**
That just leaves me!
**[07:12] Shino**
I'm Shino Aki.
**[07:14] Shino**
I'm from Fukuoka, in Kyushu...
a town called Itoshima.
**[07:17] Roku**
Shinoaki's kind of a
masculine name, isn't it?
**[07:21] Kyo**
Yeah, you're right.
**[07:23] Shino**
Aw, that ain't it, though.
**[07:25] Shino**
Shino's my family name, and Aki's my name.
***SIGN*** S

I
**[07:28] Shino**
So I'm Shino Aki!
**[07:32] Shino**
Y'all can call me Aki, too.
**[07:35] Nana**
What about Shinoaki, though?
**[07:37] Roku**
I really like the sound of Shinoaki.
**[07:38] Kyoya**
Shinoaki it is.
**[07:40] Shino**
Are y'all not gonna listen to me?!
**[07:44] Nana**
Shinoaki!
**[07:46] News**
*I wonder if she's asleep already.*
**[07:50] News**
Shinoaki? Are you awake?
**[08:09] News**
Akishima Shino... is Shinoaki.
**[08:13] (Flashback) Shinoaki**
Folks who can't do anything
are all trying to find what we can do.
**[08:19] Ryo**
I see. That's what she wants to do, then.
**[08:24] Kyo**
I'm thinking of having the short
take place at a train station.
**[08:26] Nanako**
Why a train station?
**[08:28] Kyo**
Since it's the type of place
everyone is familiar with,
**[08:30] Kyo**
there's a lot of obvious shorthand
that'll help people understand the setting.
**[08:33] Kyo**
And I think it'd be well-suited to a story
that wraps up in three minutes.
**[08:38] Kyo**
What do you think?
**[08:39] Nanako**
Sounds interesting! I think it'll work.
**[08:41] Shinoaki**
I like it, too.
**[08:43] Shinoaki**
I can't wait to see it screened!
**[08:46] Kyo**
What do you think, Tsurayuki?
**[08:48] Roku**
Can I get a half-hour?
**[08:52] Kyo**
What's this?
**[08:53] Roku**
I wrote up a plot for the
setup you described.
**[08:56] Roku**
I figured it was what you were after.
**[08:58] Kyo**
Wow! This is exactly what I meant!
**[09:01] Kyo**
I'm looking forward to the script—
**[09:02] Roku**
Kyoya...
**[09:04] Roku**
You got a second?
**[09:07] Kyo**
What's this?
**[09:08] Roku**
Something from my idea notebook.
**[09:12] Kyo**
Isn't this—
**[09:14] Roku**
It's the exact same thing.
**[09:15] Roku**
Your idea, and what I had
written down in my notes.
**[09:20] Roku**
I swear, I didn't see—
**[09:21] Roku**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:23] Roku**
I actually had it locked up.
**[09:26] Roku**
You couldn't possibly have seen it.
**[09:27] Roku**
But you still managed to come up
with the same idea,
**[09:32] Roku**
like you read my mind.
**[09:35] Roku**
It honestly felt like you took
something right out of my head.
**[09:38] Kyo**
I didn't mean to.
**[09:40] Roku**
It was scary, man, if I'm being honest.
**[09:44] Kyo**
* Does that mean I essentially stole the idea*
* from Tsurayuki's future self?*
**[09:49] Roku**
Kyoya, is it just a coincidence?
**[09:52] Roku**
Or is there something else going on here?
**[09:58] Kano**
Production's always got something
to worry about, huh?
**[10:01] Kano**
I heard your group's got
some creative differences.
**[10:04] Kyo**
Well, uh... Yes.
**[10:09] Kano**
A script isn't a finished product.
**[10:11] Kano**
If the point was to just have
people read something, and that's all,
**[10:13] Kano**
it'd be better done as prose.
**[10:15] Kano**
At the script stage,
it can still go either way.
**[10:19] Kano**
What you're doing isn't just
a matter of subtraction.
**[10:24] Kano**
If the production side stops trying,
then that means the whole project is doomed.
**[10:28] Kano**
That's how important it is.
**[10:30] Kano**
I've got one piece of advice for you.
**[10:33] Kano**
Everyone involved in the
filmmaking process is a creator.
**[10:37] Kano**
And no one outranks anyone else.
**[10:41] Shinoaki**
The camera that Tsurayuki-kun
borrowed isn't a video camera.
**[10:45] Roku**
No, that can't be...
***SIGN*** O Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera
Digital Video Camera
**[10:50] Sign**
I marked the wrong one.
**[10:52] Roku**
I'm sorry... I can't believe
it turned out like this...
**[10:54] Nanako**
Hey, everyone makes mistakes.
Not much we can do.
**[10:57] Shinoaki**
Yeah. There's nothing we can do.
**[11:02] Kyo**
*Is there... nothing?*
***SIGN*** If there's no camera, then we can't film.
If there's no actors, we can't record a performance.
If there's no key art, we don't need to draw anything.
If the writer is missing, we shouldn't bother writing anything.
If there's not enough budget, we'll throw something together.
It is what it is. Nothing we can do about it.
It can't be helped.
**[11:04] Kyo**
*Didn't I spend my life ten years in the future*
**[11:08] Kyo**
* repeating that excuse,*
* and regretting it every time?*
**[11:11] Kyo**
* Make excuses... and kick it all down the road,*
* without actually achieving anything?*
**[11:15] Kyo**
* Put a hold on everything for ten years,*
* and see how that turns out?*
**[11:21] Kyo**
*No!*
**[11:23] Kyo**
We are not out of options!
**[11:26] Kyo**
We're going to figure something out, damn it!
**[11:29] Kyoya**
*Kawasegawa's team came in first place...*
**[11:32] Kyoya**
*Which was kind of expected.*
**[11:34] Kyoya**
*But we came in third...*
**[11:37] Kyoya**
*That's some fairly high praise.*
**[11:40] Kyoya**
* But if we had been able to film things*
* the way we originally intended...*
**[11:44] Kyoya**
*I bet we would've been better received.*
**[11:46] Roku**
This is *so* damn frustrating!
**[11:49] Roku**
What the hell, man?!
**[11:51] Roku**
I had *no* idea what you were doing
when we were shooting,
**[11:54] Roku**
but it turned into a proper story,
with a proper ending and everything!
**[11:57] Roku**
You're really something, man! You did great!
**[12:00] Roku**
But... if my script...
**[12:03] Roku**
Not the first one, but the one
I redid with your input...
**[12:08] Roku**
If we had been able to use it properly,
it would've turned out great!
**[12:12] Roku**
Maybe even better than what we turned in...
**[12:16] Kyoya**
Y-Yeah.
**[12:17] Nanako**
I'm bitter, too!
**[12:19] Nanako**
Kyoya, that was seriously amazing!
**[12:21] Nanako**
I was just doing what I was told,
**[12:24] Nanako**
so I'm kinda... No, I'm seriously impressed!
**[12:29] Nanako**
But... I can act well
in a normal film too, so...
**[12:33] Nanako**
So I'm sure that'd... y'know...
**[12:38] Nanako**
Whatever! I'm just gonna say it!
**[12:40] Nanako**
I know I can put on a really
good performance!
**[12:42] Nanako**
So I want to get to act the normal way!
**[12:46] Shino**
Kyoya-kun...
**[12:47] Shino**
You play kinda dirty, huh?
**[12:50] Shino**
And then you get all fired up,
with your eyes flashing.
**[12:55] Shino**
During the shoot...
And during the screening...
**[12:58] Shino**
I was full of butterflies the whole time!
**[13:01] Kano**
Hey, I'm locking up. If you want to
review things, do it somewhere else.
**[13:06] Kano**
Or...
**[13:08] Kano**
Are you discussing your next goal?
**[13:10] Roommates**
Yes!
**[13:11] Roku**
This guy is not...
**[13:12] Roku**
Kyoya isn't...
**[13:13] Roku**
Kyoya-kun ain't...
**[13:15] Roku**
...gonna show me up!
**[13:18] Shino**
I was hoping one day my eyes
would light up like yours do.
**[13:25] Shino**
But it just don't seem to wanna happen.
**[13:29] Kyoya**
No, that's not what I—
**[13:30] Shino**
So I was thinking...
**[13:33] Shino**
Maybe I should give up on art.
Maybe that'd be easier.
**[13:38] Kyoya**
You can't!
**[13:40] Kyoya**
You can't do that!
You can't stop being an artist!
**[13:44] Shino**
Kyoya-kun?
**[13:46] Shino**
I... I...
**[13:51] Shino**
*Your art was always there for me.*
**[13:54] Shino**
I...
**[13:57] Shino**
I love your art, Shinoaki.
**[14:03] Shino**
* From all the way in the future...*
* I've loved it.*
**[14:08] Eiko**
You weren't serious
about being an actor, then.
**[14:11] Eiko**
You want this, don't you? To be a singer.
**[14:16] Eiko**
Because I thought it was strange.
**[14:18] Eiko**
It's true that you could perform in bits,
**[14:21] Eiko**
but there was no feeling
of intentionality behind it.
**[14:24] Eiko**
It always felt superficial.
**[14:27] Nanako**
It's not like that!
**[14:28] Eiko**
It actually is.
**[14:30] Eiko**
Because you weren't serious about acting.
**[14:34] Eiko**
You can claim otherwise,
but the proof is in the performance.
**[14:39] Eiko**
If you can project your voice so well,
**[14:41] Eiko**
it must mean you've been practicing in one
way or another since you were little, right?
**[14:44] Eiko**
So why would you try to act,
instead of following your passion?
**[14:49] Nanako**
Shut up.
**[14:51] Eiko**
It's because you're scared
of taking it seriously, right?
**[14:53] Eiko**
Because if you start taking something you've
always cared about seriously, and fail?
**[14:56] Eiko**
It would refute everything you stand for.
**[14:59] Eiko**
You were afraid of committing.
**[15:01] Eiko**
So instead, because you got
compliments before, you turned to acting,
**[15:03] Eiko**
and lied about wanting to be an actress.
**[15:05] Nanako**
Shut up! Just stop talking!
**[15:08] Nanako**
What do you know?!
**[15:09] Nanako**
I've loved singing, grown up around music,
**[15:13] Nanako**
but have always been tone deaf.
**[15:15] Nanako**
If I could do something about it,
I would have by now!
**[15:21] Eiko**
But you haven't.
**[15:23] Eiko**
What a waste of a gift.
**[15:27] Eiko**
Stop running away, and get serious!
**[15:30] Eiko**
If you have something you
can seriously chase after,
**[15:32] Eiko**
why wouldn't you make it
your weapon of choice?!
**[15:35] Eiko**
Instead you flit off to acting because
someone gave you some casual compliments!
**[15:38] Eiko**
That won't ever move anyone!
**[15:41] Keiko**
I figured it was time you paid me back.
**[15:43] Keiko**
You wanna come work on our game?
**[15:45] Kyoya**
I'm sorry!
**[15:47] Kyoya**
I can't... not right now.
**[15:50] Keiko**
Seems you've got a full plate, huh?
**[15:54] Kyoya**
I'm sorry.
**[15:55] Keiko**
Hey, the offer's still on the table, all right?
**[15:58] Keiko**
Since I'm here, you can have these.
***SIGN*** Chasing The Morning Sun
**[16:00] Keiko**
They should give you an idea what we're doing.
**[16:03] Keiko**
Catch ya next time.
**[16:05] Kyoya**
* I brushed against*
* the freckles that I hated so...*
**[16:08] Kyoya**
* Life goes on and I heave*
* a little sigh for you.*
**[16:11] Kyoya**
* It's heavy, the love*
* that I once shared with you...*
**[16:13] Kyoya**
* But it dissolved like*
* it was just a sugar cube.*
**[16:16] Kyoya**
*Now the little pain sitting in my heart...*
**[16:19] Kyoya**
* Has shrunken a bit,*
* but it really does hurt me now.*
**[16:20] Nanako**
Is this... my voice?
**[16:24] Kyoya**
That's right. It's what your singing
can ultimately sound like.
**[16:28] Kyoya**
All I did was adjust it.
**[16:31] Kyoya**
Your singing has incredible potential!
**[16:34] Kyoya**
And I wanted you to know.
**[16:43] Nanako**
I want to get better at singing.
**[16:45] Nanako**
I'll study for real, practice for real,
**[16:48] Nanako**
and let people hear what
I can do when I'm serious.
**[16:51] Nanako**
Do you think I'll be able to do it?
Will I be able to go that far?
**[16:56] Kyoya**
I'm sure you can.
**[16:59] Nanako**
I'm going to trust you, Kyoya!
**[17:01] Nanako**
So help me figure out singing! Please?
**[17:06] Kyoya**
You're going to be doing all the work.
**[17:08] Kyoya**
But I'll do whatever I can to help you.
**[17:12] Nanako**
Yeah! I'm going to figure
something out, damn it!
**[17:17] Nanako**
Let's make sure to enjoy the finale
of the school festival's concert!
**[17:36] Nanako**
*I rush past you with a heart that's run dry*
**[17:42] Nanako**
*I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do*
**[17:49] Nanako**
*Because even sharing your pain*
**[17:55] Nanako**
*Is something you want to keep from me*
**[18:02] Nanako**
* To not ruin what we had,*
* I couldn't look back*
**[18:08] Nanako**
* As I turned away and took*
* my leave on the lonely rail*
**[18:13] Nanako**
*Following you no matter how much it hurts*
**[18:15] Nanako**
*This is it, right, Kyoya?*
**[18:17] Nanako**
*There was no reason to be scared!*
**[18:17] Nanako**
*Even in the darkest parts of the world*
**[18:20] Nanako**
*Because I'm...*
**[18:21] Nanako**
* Because I know you'll be there*
* shining through into the future!*
**[18:22] (Flashback) Kyoya**
Your new video broke ten thousand views!
**[18:26] (Flashback) Kyoya**
I only uploaded it yesterday.
**[18:27] Nanako**
*And because I know my weakness,*
***SIGN*** Seeji
This made me feel better!! You're only to going to get better from here
Fujiwara
Too amazing... the way you seem to sing in a totally different way, depending on the song... Love it
I seriously love the way your huskiness comes out on the high pitched parts
***SIGN*** Saito
I seriously love the way your huskiness comes out on the high pitched parts
**[18:29] (Flashback) Kyoya**
You've already sung in front
of thousands of people...
**[18:30] Nanako**
*I'll fight to keep my soul for breaking;*
***SIGN*** Rua
Ahhhh! So good! I love it!
Omurice
Whoa, I never thought you would sing this song... (°°∀°°)
It was just too cool!
Thank you!
**[18:32] (Flashback) Kyoya**
If you ask me, it doesn't make any
sense to be afraid of a few hundred.
**[18:34] Nanako**
* I'll do it my way,*
* and as our moments overlap...*
**[18:39] Nanako**
*God bless the both of us*
**[18:40] (Flashback) Kyoya**
Come on. I'm sure they'll
all become fans of yours.
**[18:43] Nanako**
* You were there,*
* and I was there, and everyone else*
**[18:48] (Flashback) Nanako**
Yeah!
**[18:51] Nanako**
*Had seemed to disappear*
**[18:51] Nanako**
* I know the world's not so simple that hard work*
* is enough to get you where you want to be...*
**[18:56] Nanako**
* As I tried to create*
* the beauty of a fleeting dream*
**[18:57] Nanako**
*But!*
**[18:59] Nanako**
*I want my feelings to reach them!*
**[19:02] Eiko**
Not bad at all.
**[19:04] Kyoya**
This is what Nanako can do
when she's serious.
**[19:04] Nanako**
*I ran a finger across my scars*
**[19:06] Eiko**
So? What kind of trick
did you use this time?
**[19:09] Nanako**
*And that is why I will be*
**[19:11] Kyoya**
I wouldn't call it a trick...
**[19:12] Nanako**
*Following you no matter how much it hurts*
**[19:13] Kyoya**
The videos we uploaded got
a bigger response than I anticipated.
**[19:15] Nanako**
*Even in the darkest parts of the world*
**[19:17] Kyoya**
*Granted, there were negative comments, too.*
**[19:18] Nanako**
* Because I know you'll be there,*
* shining through into the future!*
**[19:20] Kyoya**
* But Nanako's voice drew in a lot*
* more people than it turned away.*
**[19:25] Kyoya**
*Nanako didn't run away.*
**[19:25] Nanako**
*And because I know my weakness,*
***SIGN*** ○ Poor enunciation on H-sounds

Wrong pitch?
Mind the distinctions in articulation!
**[19:27] Kyoya**
* She kept an open mind*
* about even the harshest criticisms...*
**[19:28] Nanako**
*I'll fight to keep my soul for breaking*
**[19:30] Kyoya**
* And incorporated the advice she got*
* into the next video she uploaded.*
**[19:31] Nanako**
* I'll do it my way,*
* and as our moments overlap...*
**[19:34] Kyoya**
* On the internet, artists and fans collaborate*
* to make music through feedback.*
**[19:37] Nanako**
*God bless the both of us*
**[19:39] Kyoya**
* And in ten years, when this they dub*
* this kind of thing "user generated content"...*
**[19:44] Kyoya**
*Nanako will have gained wings of song.*
**[19:48] Kyoya**
* The first time I heard this voice,*
* it captured my heart.*
**[19:52] Kyoya**
*I wasn't sure why, but now I understand.*
**[19:57] Kyoya**
*It's nice to meet you, N@NA.*
**[20:01] Nanako**
We're all...
**[20:02] Roku**
...going to make...
**[20:03] Shino**
...a game?
**[20:04] Roku**
Like, the kind you play on a console?
**[20:08] Roku**
What we're going to make is a doujin game,
and they're usually played on PCs.
**[20:12] Roku**
And we're going to be making a novel game,
**[20:16] Roku**
which uses text and images
for a sort of picture show.
**[20:20] Roku**
That way, we won't need a lot
of technical expertise, plus...
**[20:24] Roku**
I get you!
**[20:25] Roku**
And I'm going to write the script?
**[20:28] Kyoya**
Exactly!
**[20:29] Kyoya**
Shinoaki can do the illustrations.
**[20:31] Kyoya**
And Nanako will handle the background music.
**[20:33] Shino**
Sure thing! Sounds like fun!
**[20:35] Nanako**
But I've hardly composed anything before.
**[20:39] Kyoya**
I'll teach you how, along with how
to use the equipment involved.
**[20:43] Kyoya**
I'm going to be the director,
so I'll be there to back you all up.
**[20:46] Roku**
I'm sorry to drag you all into my business!
**[20:49] Shino**
You don't need to worry none.
**[20:52] Nanako**
Man, I've never seen
Tsurayuki grateful before!
**[20:55] Roku**
I'm deducting my gratitude toward you.
**[20:57] Nanako**
Why?! You should give me extra, in fact!
**[21:01] Shino**
Y'know, the other day,
I saw the strangest-looking folks.
**[21:01] ---**
**[21:04] Shino**
It was over in the school parking lot.
**[21:06] Shino**
This big old black car pulls up,
and out comes a big fella in a black suit,
**[21:12] Shino**
and this cute gal in a fur coat!
**[21:18] Kyoya**
H-Hey, Tsurayuki, what's gotten into...
**[21:20] Roku**
Guys, sorry, but I need
to make myself scarce for today!
**[21:23] Kyoya**
Wait, why?!
**[21:30] Sayuri**
I knew this was the place!
**[21:31] Roku**
Sayuri-nee...
**[21:32] Sayuri**
Tsu-kun! It's been ages!
**[21:35] Sayuri**
I missed you so much!
**[21:37] Sayuri**
Shouldn't we smooch now,
to celebrate our reunion?
**[21:40] Sayuri**
Come on, Tsu-kun!
**[21:44] Roku**
Hang on a...
**[21:49] Sayuri**
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
My name is Jisshoji Sayuri.
**[21:53] Sayuri**
I am Rokuonji Tsurayuki-san's...
**[21:56] Sayuri**
Fiancée!
**[21:58] Kyoya**
F... F... F...
**[22:01] Everyone**
Fiancée?!

**[00:03] Roku**
Why exactly is Sayuri-nee sitting at the table
like it's the most natural thing in the world?
**[00:07] Sayuri**
Oh, it's fine, Tsu-kun!
**[00:11] Kyoya**
Well, she said she wanted to eat with us.
**[00:15] Nanako**
Turning her away would be kinda... y'know?
**[00:18] Shino**
That's right, Tsurayuki-kun!
**[00:20] Shino**
We ought to be grateful to her!
**[00:25] Roku**
I guess you've all sold out for food, huh?
**[00:28] Sayuri**
Tsu-kun!
**[00:29] Sayuri**
Here. Say, "Ah!"
**[00:31] Roku**
That is not happening!
**[00:32] Kyoya**
*Tsurayuki's fiancée has suddenly shown up.*
**[00:33] Sayuri**
But I used to feed you
like this all the time!
**[00:36] Kyoya**
* They're apparently childhood friends*
* who promised to get married.*
**[00:37] Sayuri**
Now, say, "Ah!"
**[00:40] Kyoya**
* Sayuri-san seems intent*
* on winning Tsurayuki over,*
**[00:43] Kyoya**
* and ideally, bringing him*
* back home with her.*
**[00:47] Shino**
Kyoya-kun!
**[00:49] Shino**
Here, say, "Ah!"
**[00:51] Kyoya**
Wait, why, "Ah"?
**[00:55] Nanako**
Kyoya!
**[00:57] Nanako**
You need to get some vegetables, too!
**[01:00] Both**
Now, say, "Ah!"
**[01:02] Roku**
You seem to be having fun, Kyoya.
**[01:04] Kyoya**
I could say the same thing about you.
**[02:41] Sportos**
Move up, move up!
**[02:44] Roku**
Sayuri-nee lived next door,
**[02:46] Roku**
and we've known each other
since nursery school.
**[02:48] Roku**
Whenever my parents or siblings
wouldn't pay attention to me,
**[02:54] Roku**
she was always there to take care of me.
**[02:56] Roku**
When I was really little, I used to
think she was my actual older sister.
**[03:01] Kyoya**
But she's your fiancée, right?
**[03:04] Roku**
That's something our parents decided
without asking me. And it's stupid.
**[03:08] Roku**
I love Sayuri-nee as a person,
**[03:11] Roku**
but it's not anything more than that.
**[03:14] Roku**
That's why I ran.
**[03:16] Roku**
I didn't want to reject her outright,
and hurt her feelings.
**[03:20] Kyoya**
I see.
**[03:21] Roku**
I feel bad for the rest of you, too.
**[03:23] Roku**
We were really getting rolling,
and now this happens.
**[03:27] Roku**
I'll tell her to keep away from
the house as much as possible.
**[03:29] Kyoya**
I wouldn't worry about it.
**[03:32] Kyoya**
I mean, she keeps bringing
fancy ingredients by every time,
**[03:35] Kyoya**
which keeps both Shinoaki
and Nanako in a good mood.
**[03:41] Kyoya**
*I said that, but...*
**[03:44] Kyoya**
* Sayuri-san visited*
* the share house pretty regularly,*
**[03:48] Kyoya**
*and eventually every day.*
**[03:50] Kyoya**
* And by the time we had gotten used to it,*
* it was time for winter vacation,*
**[03:54] Kyoya**
* which gave us more time*
* to devote to game development.*
**[03:58] Roku**
Kyoya, could you check this?
**[03:59] Roku**
I did so many rewrites I didn't know
what I was looking at anymore.
**[04:04] Roku**
So I scrapped it and redid it from scratch.
**[04:06] Kyoya**
Wait, the *whole* thing?!
**[04:08] Roku**
Yeah.
**[04:09] Roku**
This is what I came up with,
after considering the style of bishoujo games.
**[04:13] Roku**
Does it work?
**[04:23] Kyoya**
This is amazing, Tsurayuki!
**[04:25] Kyoya**
The pacing of the dialog,
the balance of the monologues...
**[04:28] Kyoya**
I knew you could do it. This is perfect.
**[04:31] Roku**
Really?
**[04:32] Kyoya**
Yeah. This script will work.
**[04:34] Kyoya**
We can do this!
**[04:38] Roku**
Thank goodness...
**[04:40] Roku**
Now I can get some real sleep!
**[04:43] Kyoya**
Okay, that takes care of the script.
**[04:47] Kyoya**
Yamashina-san's been sending
in the backgrounds on time,
**[04:51] Kyoya**
so that just leaves...
**[04:55] Nanako**
Kyoya, help!
**[04:59] Nanako**
I just don't think I can do this.
Composing something out of the blue...
**[05:08] Kyoya**
What's this?
**[05:09] Nanako**
A melody came to mind,
so I stuck it in there...
**[05:13] Nanako**
It's nowhere near good enough
to be music, though.
**[05:17] Kyoya**
You already did it.
**[05:20] Nanako**
Wait, is that good enough?
**[05:22] Nanako**
What about arrangements
or coming up with a longer version?
**[05:25] Kyoya**
It's okay. That's what
the music software is for.
**[05:29] Kyoya**
Once we have a good melody,
**[05:31] Kyoya**
we can come up with a few
loops to make it longer,
**[05:34] Kyoya**
and changing the arrangement
won't be hard at all.
**[05:38] Nanako**
I'm so relieved.
**[05:40] Kyoya**
Na... Nanako?
**[05:42] Nanako**
Don't. Just let me recharge a little.
**[05:47] Kyoya**
*Uh, Nanako, I don't know if...*
**[05:52] Nanako**
Okay! I'm recharged!
**[06:00] Nanako**
Thanks!
**[06:01] Nanako**
I'm feeling better now,
so I'll be able to get back to work!
**[06:06] Kyoya**
Okay.
**[06:16] Kyoya**
*Does she...*
**[06:18] Kyoya**
*Nah, I have to be overthinking it.*
**[06:20] Shino**
Kyoya-kun?
**[06:22] Shino**
Something wrong?
**[06:23] Kyoya**
Oh, nothing! It's nothing.
**[06:26] Kyoya**
Anyway, what do you think?
**[06:27] Shino**
I think his art's real impressive!
**[06:30] Kyoya**
That's good.
**[06:32] Kyoya**
It hit me when I was checking out
the exhibition during the school festival.
**[06:35] Kyoya**
Yamashina-san's backgrounds
would be a good match for your art.
**[06:40] Roku**
*I knew Shinoaki could do it,*
**[06:42] Roku**
* considering she's going to be*
* Akishima Shino some day.*
**[06:45] Roku**
* The art needed to be different*
* from her usual style,*
**[06:47] Roku**
* and she managed to meet*
* the challenge in hardly any time at all.*
**[06:51] Shino**
I gotta ask, Kyoya-kun...
**[06:53] Kyoya**
What is it?
**[06:55] Shino**
What's going on in this scene?
**[06:58] Kyoya**
Th-That's...
**[07:03] Kyoya**
A sex scene.
**[07:05] Shino**
I don't mean that, I just dunno
what they're doing.
**[07:08] Kyoya**
What they're... what?
**[07:10] Shino**
I know! Kyoya-kun, could you sit over there?
**[07:18] Kyoya**
Sh-Shinoaki?!
**[07:20] Shino**
Don't move, now! Stay put.
**[07:24] Shino**
It gets this big, huh?
**[07:27] Kyoya**
Wh-What does, exactly?!
**[07:28] Shino**
The thighs.
**[07:31] Kyoya**
Oh... the thighs. Right.
**[07:34] Shino**
And it goes up right here...
**[07:38] Shino**
How'm I supposed to sketch like that?
**[07:43] Shino**
Come on over, now!
**[07:46] Kyoya**
Eek!
**[07:50] Kyoya**
Here's the additional script
and some of the art files.
**[07:53] Eiko**
I was worried when I heard the plan
was to make a game in four months...
**[07:58] Eiko**
But I'm glad things seem
to be going smoothly.
**[08:00] Kyoya**
I don't know if I'd go that far.
**[08:02] Kyoya**
Even with school on break,
we've still got work,
**[08:05] Kyoya**
so everyone's worn out.
**[08:09] Kyoya**
Wh-What is it?
**[08:10] Eiko**
I was curious what kind
of trick you used this time.
**[08:14] Kyoya**
Trick?
**[08:15] Eiko**
For this. Rokuonji's script,
Shinoaki's illustrations...
**[08:19] Eiko**
They're well done, sure,
**[08:22] Eiko**
but it's all pretty distinct
from their usual style.
**[08:26] Kyoya**
Yeah. We need to make sure
it sells well, so...
**[08:30] Kyoya**
I asked them to go for something
a bit more commercial.
**[08:34] Eiko**
You just... asked?
**[08:37] Kyoya**
Yeah...
**[08:38] Eiko**
This is why you freak me out!
**[08:41] Eiko**
Shinoaki is one thing,
**[08:43] Eiko**
but do you realize how remarkable it is
to convince Rokuonji to change his style,
**[08:47] Eiko**
just so it'd be more popular?
**[08:50] Eiko**
He must really trust you.
**[08:52] Eiko**
The fact that you can do that...
**[08:55] Eiko**
I hate to admit it,
but I'm seriously impressed.
**[08:58] Eiko**
Something about you makes
others put their faith in you.
**[09:01] Eiko**
"Whatever Hashiba says is probably true."
**[09:04] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa...
**[09:06] Eiko**
A-Anyway, if you're seriously doing this,
make sure it turns out well!
**[09:22] Shino**
It's already the end of the year, huh?
**[09:31] Shino**
It's so cold!
**[09:33] Shino**
Winters in Fukuoka are pretty dang cold,
and this is about as cold as that.
**[09:38] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[09:40] Kyoya**
Do you want to get something warm to drink?
**[09:43] Shino**
Naw, I'm okay.
**[09:45] Shino**
Oh, can we go to the art supply store?
**[09:48] Kyoya**
Of course.
***SIGN*** ABE'S ELECTRONICS
**[09:50] Shino**
Sorry for dragging you along
on my shopping trip.
**[09:53] Kyoya**
It's okay.
**[09:53] Kyoya**
The idea of being out here by myself
today was kind of depressing.
**[09:57] Kyoya**
I'm glad you came with me, Shinoaki.
**[10:01] Shino**
Yeah?
**[10:03] Shino**
Well, all right, then.
**[10:09] Shino**
Still... you sure you're okay
with it being me?
**[10:14] Shino**
It's Christmas Eve, y'know?
**[10:22] Shino**
Sorry.
**[10:24] Shino**
That was a funny thing to ask.
**[10:34] Kyoya**
*New Year's came, and it's now 2007.*
**[10:39] Nanako**
That was such a huge crowd!
**[10:42] Shino**
What'd you ask for, Kyoya-kun?
**[10:44] Kyoya**
You have to ask? For the game
to get finished and sell well!
**[10:48] Roku**
I seriously hope it sells...
for all our sakes.
**[10:51] Nanako**
And for Tsurayuki, who has finally learned
to show concern for other people!
**[10:55] Roku**
Listen, you...
**[10:56] Roku**
Oh, come to think of it, vocal talent,
did you finish the opening song?
**[11:01] Nanako**
What is "vocal talent" supposed to mean?!
**[11:03] Roku**
I'm looking forward to it, y'know!
**[11:05] Roku**
Considering you canceled your plans
**[11:06] Roku**
for going to the special
Christmas Eve sale with Kyoya—
**[11:09] Nanako**
Wh-What are you even talking about?!
**[11:12] Kyoya**
Nanako?
**[11:15] Nanako**
U-Uh... well...
**[11:18] Roku**
Since we're all out anyway, let's grab
something to eat before we head home.
**[11:22] Nananko**
G-Good idea!
**[11:24] Shino**
Sounds good! I'm in.
**[11:25] Nanako**
Yeah, let's get some food, Kyoya!
**[11:29] Kyoya**
Yeah, I think so.
**[11:33] Kyoya**
*Though there was the occasional surprise,*
**[11:35] Kyoya**
* we were steadily making*
* progress on our game.*
**[11:46] Shino**
It really turned into a game!
**[11:48] Kyoya**
This is only partway through
the first scene, though.
**[11:51] Nanako**
But... I think even just this little bit
is enough to get me emotional.
**[11:55] Roku**
You can save the tears
for after you play through my story!
**[11:59] Kyoya**
*The game goes on sale on April 29th.*
**[12:03] Kyoya**
* Even if we're on schedule,*
* we'll still be pressed for time.*
**[12:06] Kyoya**
* My job is to guide everyone*
* until the deadline hits,*
**[12:09] Kyoya**
*and make sure the game sells well.*
**[12:12] Kyoya**
* I'm not making the same*
* mistakes I did ten years ago.*
**[12:14] Kyoya**
* I'm going to make sure*
* the remake of my life is a success!*
**[12:18] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki, can I—
**[12:21] Sayuri**
Hey, Tsu-kun...
**[12:23] Sayuri**
I know work is important,
but can't we relax some?
**[12:27] Sayuri**
Come on...
**[12:28] Roku**
Sayuri-nee, I'm begging you,
not when I'm writing.
**[12:31] Sayuri**
What's this, then?
**[12:33] Sayuri**
"Akiya-kun, look at what
you've done to me..."
**[12:38] Sayuri**
"So don't tease me any more, okay?"
**[12:42] Roku**
Please stop!
**[12:46] Sayuri**
You think about pervy stuff
like this, huh, Tsu-kun?
**[12:49] Roku**
No! This is just work!
**[12:51] Sayuri**
It's fine.
**[12:52] Sayuri**
We can do everything that
you've written about, y'know?
**[12:56] Kyoya**
U-Um... Sayuri-san?
**[12:59] Sayuri**
Oh, did you need something?
**[13:01] Kyoya**
*This is kinda pushing it.*
**[13:04] Kyoya**
What should I do?
**[13:06] Shino**
I know what you mean.
**[13:08] Nanako**
I'm frankly impressed Tsurayuki was
able to say no in spite of all that.
**[13:12] Kyoya**
This is unrelated, but... you two...
**[13:16] Kyoya**
Is there a reason why you're
both sitting next to me?
**[13:20] Nanako**
You sure you're not imagining things?
**[13:22] Shino**
I reckon you're thinking too hard
about it, Kyoya-kun.
**[13:25] Kyoya**
But this is...
**[13:30] Kyoya**
Thank you! Come again!
**[13:34] Nanako**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[13:37] Nanako**
You've been spacing out.
**[13:39] Kyoya**
N-No! It's nothing!
**[13:43] Nanako**
Come to think of it, you were in Shinoaki's
room all day yesterday, weren't you?
**[13:47] Nanako**
What were you two doing?
**[13:49] Kyoya**
What do you mean? I was checking the CG.
**[13:53] Kyoya**
She also asked me to take
a few pictures for reference.
**[13:58] Nanako**
And that was really it?
**[14:00] Kyoya**
Of course!
**[14:01] Kyoya**
Oh, I had better go restock the drinks!
**[14:11] Kyoya**
This is bad.
**[14:13] Kyoya**
There's a chance this could
affect the game's production.
**[14:18] Nanako**
I'll help.
**[14:21] Nanako**
We did this before, huh?
**[14:24] Kyoya**
Y-Yeah...
**[14:26] Nanako**
It was a coincidence that time, but...
**[14:28] Nanako**
But not today.
**[14:31] Nanako**
I'm doing it on purpose, okay?
**[14:43] Kyoya**
Nanako...
**[14:45] Nanako**
I won't lose.
**[14:50] Kyoya**
* I don't think there's any*
* other way to interpret this.*
**[14:56] Eiko**
What are you, stupid?!
**[14:58] Eiko**
Why the hell would you ask me about this?!
**[15:00] Kyoya**
L-Look, I'm sorry!
**[15:03] Eiko**
I m-mean, I guess as a member of
Team Kitayama, I can't just ignore it.
**[15:09] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[15:10] Eiko**
Well? Which one of them
do you like, Hashiba?
**[15:13] Kyoya**
What do you mean?
**[15:15] Kyoya**
They're both great girls, but I don't
really feel that way about either of them.
**[15:20] Eiko**
And yet, instead of actually just saying no,
**[15:23] Eiko**
you keep up this wishy-washy noncommittal
attitude, leading us to this point.
**[15:27] Eiko**
Does that cover it?
**[15:28] Kyoya**
It does, ma'am.
**[15:29] Eiko**
From a woman's perspective,
that makes you a total dirt bag!
**[15:32] Eiko**
...is what I would say ordinarily.
**[15:35] Eiko**
But considering your position
from a production standpoint,
**[15:38] Eiko**
I understand why you've
done things this way.
**[15:41] Eiko**
I think, for the time being, you'll have to
continue pretending to be oblivious.
**[15:45] Eiko**
Other than that, avoid being alone
with either of them in a closed room,
**[15:48] Eiko**
and steer conversations away
from the subject.
**[15:51] Eiko**
Sadly, that's all I can really offer.
**[15:54] Eiko**
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
**[15:57] Kyoya**
That's not true.
**[15:59] Kyoya**
I feel a little better just
getting to talk about it.
**[16:03] Kyoya**
I knew I could count on you, Kawasegawa.
**[16:07] Eiko**
Well, when you finish the project,
you need to make clear how you feel.
**[16:11] Eiko**
That's the least you can do for them.
**[16:13] Kyoya**
Okay. Thanks again!
**[16:21] Eiko**
Seriously, is he stupid?
**[16:26] Kyoya**
You think this part might
be a little too forceful?
**[16:28] Roku**
I get what you mean, but I don't
want to compromise here.
**[16:34] Roku**
It's the climax of the story, where the
protagonist chooses the girl he likes.
**[16:37] Roku**
That seems like it's a pretty
intense situation, right?
**[16:39] Kyoya**
The thing is, most players will decide
**[16:41] Kyoya**
based on how they feel
about the character's quirks.
**[16:43] Kyoya**
And when you consider that,
I think we've done a great job
**[16:46] Kyoya**
of showcasing those aspects of them.
**[16:49] Roku**
Still, man...
**[16:50] Sayuri**
Tsu-kun! You're coming home
with me today, right?
**[16:53] Roku**
Sayuri-nee, this is really important!
**[16:57] Sayuri**
I think Tsu-kun's a little exhausted.
**[17:01] Sayuri**
Kyoya-san, could you discuss this later?
**[17:04] Kyoya**
Well, I—
**[17:06] Sayuri**
Come on, Tsu-kun.
**[17:09] Sayuri**
Your mother and father
are really worried about you.
**[17:14] Sayuri**
You should come—
**[17:15] Roku**
Dad would never say that.
**[17:18] Sayuri**
That's not true! I'm sure he—
**[17:20] Roku**
I know he wouldn't!
**[17:27] Sayuri**
I think I'll excuse myself for today.
**[17:33] Sayuri**
I'm sorry.
**[17:38] Roku**
Sorry... I know I'm behind schedule,
and now this...
**[17:42] Kyoya**
It's not your fault.
**[17:44] Kyoya**
You should take the rest of the day off.
**[17:46] Roku**
But isn't my stuff late already?
**[17:49] Kyoya**
I don't want you working like this, anyway.
**[17:51] Kyoya**
I'll manage something.
**[17:54] Roku**
Kyoya...
**[17:56] Roku**
You're amazing, man. I really respect you.
**[18:01] Kyoya**
Don't be ridiculous.
Just make sure to rest up.
**[18:05] Roku**
Okay.
**[18:10] Kyoya**
* After that day, Sayuri-san stopped*
* dropping by the house.*
**[18:14] Kyoya**
* In the following week,*
* the share house was more quiet,*
**[18:17] Kyoya**
*but also a little bit more lonely.*
**[18:27] Kyoya**
C-Can I help you?!
**[18:34] Sayuri**
Hashiba Kyoya-san...
**[18:36] Sayuri**
I'm sorry, but can I have
a moment of your time?
**[18:43] Sayuri**
This is a lovely view.
**[18:45] Kyoya**
I-I think so, too.
**[18:47] Kyoya**
* Something about this gives me a real*
* "You'll be sleeping with the fishes!" vibe...*
**[18:55] Kyoya**
What did you need to talk
to me about in a place like this?
**[19:02] Kyoya**
If you want to threaten me about Tsurayuki,
**[19:04] Kyoya**
you're wasting your time. I—
**[19:06] Sayuri**
What are you talking about?
**[19:09] Sayuri**
There was something
I wanted to discuss with you
**[19:13] Sayuri**
which is why I brought you here.
**[19:15] Sayuri**
I'm going home tomorrow.
**[19:19] Sayuri**
I've realized something.
**[19:21] Sayuri**
At this rate, Tsu-kun won't return
to me, or to his parents.
**[19:27] Sayuri**
But before I left, there was something
I needed to confirm with you.
**[19:33] Kyoya**
With me?
**[19:34] Sayuri**
All Tsu-kun seems to talk
about lately is you.
**[19:38] Sayuri**
"Kyoya is amazing. If I rely on him,
things will turn out fine."
**[19:44] Sayuri**
Which is why I would like to ask...
**[19:46] Sayuri**
What kind of relationship
do the two of you have?
**[19:52] Sayuri**
To be specific, is there a physical—
**[19:54] Kyoya**
No, no, no, no!
**[19:55] Kyoya**
Why would you think there was?!
**[19:57] Sayuri**
Really? I'm surprised.
**[20:00] Sayuri**
Considering the depth of his trust in you,
**[20:02] Sayuri**
I expected there to be
an intimate element to it.
**[20:07] Sayuri**
Putting that aside, though,
**[20:10] Sayuri**
what exactly are your plans
for your relationship with Tsu-kun?
**[20:15] Sayuri**
He's a son of the Rokuonji family.
**[20:18] Sayuri**
If he returns home, a stable future
is promised him.
**[20:22] Sayuri**
And yet you all seem to be dragging
Tsu-kun down a riskier path.
**[20:29] Sayuri**
Can you make any
guarantees about his future?
**[20:32] Sayuri**
Do you think that's right?
**[20:36] Kyoya**
I can't make any promises.
**[20:38] Sayuri**
I'd imagine not.
**[20:40] Sayuri**
In that case, you should tell him—
**[20:42] Kyoya**
But this is a path that
Tsurayuki chose for himself.
**[20:47] Kyoya**
He chose it, fully aware of
the risks it carries.
**[20:50] Kyoya**
Which is why I want to support him.
**[20:53] Kyoya**
And if that makes him happy...
**[20:56] Kyoya**
Then I want to be there
to celebrate his choice.
**[21:00] Sayuri**
Do you think Tsu-kun is happy, then?
**[21:04] Kyoya**
He's honestly in a bit of trouble.
**[21:06] Kyoya**
But that's why we intend to make
a game based around his writing,
**[21:10] Kyoya**
and sell it in order to help him
get out of that trouble.
**[21:12] Sayuri**
That indecent story?
Does that kind of thing really sell?
**[21:17] Kyoya**
There's a good chance it will.
**[21:18] Kyoya**
I wouldn't have suggested it, otherwise.
**[21:21] Kyoya**
We're making a product
that's on a competitive level.
**[21:24] Kyoya**
I'm proud of that fact.
**[21:28] Sayuri**
I understand.
**[21:29] Sayuri**
It's not that I believe everything you say,
**[21:33] Sayuri**
but I understand the passion
and resolve that you have.
**[21:35] Kyoya**
Thank you.
**[21:39] Sayuri**
Please... help Tsu-kun find happiness.
**[21:55] Kyoya**
This was for the best, right, Tsurayuki?
**[22:00] Kyoya**
To help you reach
a future where you're happy.

But I'd like you to do it
this way. Is that all right?
**[02:45] Nanako**
That works!
**[02:46] Nanako**
This might be a fun method to try, anyway.
**[02:50] Kyoya**
Thank you.
**[02:51] Shinoaki**
You wanna change the layouts?
**[02:53] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[02:54] Kyoya**
Since this material is for the climax,
I'd like you to make it a priority.
**[02:58] Shino**
A lot of these look the same.
**[03:01] Shino**
Is that gonna be okay?
**[03:03] Kyoya**
Yeah. I want there to be a lot of emphasis
on the character faces in the finale,
**[03:07] Kyoya**
and this works better for that.
**[03:08] Shino**
Is that how it is?
**[03:10] Kyoya**
It'll be okay! So I'd like you to draw
to match these directions.
**[03:14] Kyoya**
Can you do that for me?
**[03:15] Shino**
Yeah! Sure thing.
**[03:17] Shino**
I'll do it your way, Kyoya-kun.

**[03:25] Roku**
Kyoya, you expect me
to just write it like it says here?
**[03:28] Roku**
I know that I'm behind.
**[03:31] Roku**
But, man... this is nothing
like the plot I wrote!
**[03:35] Roku**
It's a whole different thing!
**[03:36] Roku**
I know this won't take as long to write.
**[03:40] Kyoya**
And that's why I want to do it
this way, so we can make sure—
**[03:43] Roku**
But if we do it that way...
**[03:45] Roku**
Is there any point in me
being the one who writes it?
**[03:49] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki...
**[03:50] Roku**
You come up with the plot.
**[03:53] Roku**
You come up with
the setup for the finale.
**[03:55] Roku**
Where do I even factor into the equation?
**[03:59] Kyoya**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[04:01] Kyoya**
The entire feel of the game is
because of you writing it, Tsurayuki!

Only a handful of writers are free to do

**[04:19] Kyoya**
That's right.
**[04:20] Kyoya**
Besides, right now, we need to finish
in order to sell the game at the event!
**[04:25] Kyoya**
That has to be our number one priority!
**[04:28] Kyoya**
I realize I'm asking you to do
something unpleasant.
**[04:32] Kyoya**
But this was the best plan
I could come up with
**[04:34] Kyoya**
to make sure we finish on time.
**[04:38] Roku**
Kyoya...
**[04:40] Kyoya**
That's why I'm asking you to trust me,
and follow the directions.
**[04:47] Roku**
Okay. You've got it.
**[04:53] Roku**
You've always been right.
**[04:56] Roku**
And you're doing this
for my sake, after all.
**[05:00] Kyoya**
I appreciate it, Tsurayuki.
**[05:02] Kyoya**
For a brighter future...
we'll need to compromise, for now.
**[05:06] Roku**
You're right about that.
**[05:09] Kyoya**
The issues with the script
have been settled.
**[05:11] Kyoya**
We should be able to move
on to voice recording this week.
**[05:15] Keiko**
Sounds good! Hard to believe
you guys were so far behind.
**[05:18] Keiko**
The illustrations are coming in
at a better clip now, too.
**[05:21] Keiko**
You use some kinda magic or something?
**[05:22] Kyoya**
I just asked everyone
to prioritize progress.
**[05:26] Kyoya**
They all understood.
**[05:27] Keiko**
Yeah? Well, whatever works.
**[05:30] Keiko**
Now we just gotta get scaredy-cat
over there to chill out some.
**[05:34] Nanako**
Oh, no, no, I am so nervous, oh man...
**[05:37] Kyoya**
I thought the school festival's concert
would've been way more nerve-wracking.
**[05:41] Keiko**
Eh, girls like her tend to be pretty tough
once they're actually in the fire.
**[05:46] Kyoya**
Huh...
**[05:47] Producer**
Okay, that's good!
**[05:49] Producer**
Very nice, Nanako-chan!
**[05:50] Nanako**
That felt fantastic!
**[05:53] Nanako**
Can we do another take?
**[05:55] Producer**
That works for me!
**[05:56] Producer**
For this one, let's go with
a more energetic take.
**[05:59] Nanako**
Okay!
**[06:01] Keiko**
What'd I tell you?
**[06:02] Kyoya**
Fair enough.
**[06:04] Keiko**
You did fantastic, Nanako!
**[06:06] Keiko**
The audio director was freaking out,
asking me where I found you!
**[06:10] Nanako**
Come on, you have to be exaggerating.
**[06:13] Keiko**
I'm looking forward to seeing
how things wrap up, now!
**[06:13] Kyoya**
*I'm glad we decided to do things my way.*
**[06:17] Kyoya**
*It was the right decision.*
**[06:19] Eiko**
I'm Kawasegawa. It's nice to meet you.
**[06:21] Kiryu**
I'm Kiryu.
**[06:23] Kiryu**
I'm the president of the
Fine Arts Study Group.
**[06:26] Roku**
Thank for letting us use
your computer again.
**[06:29] Kiryu**
Do you have a good idea of how
to use the editing software?
**[06:31] Eiko**
I've used Primia before,
**[06:34] Eiko**
but I'm not too familiar with After Affex...
**[06:36] Kiryu**
I'll explain the differences
that matter, then.
**[06:46] Kiryu**
Uh, Hashy, is this girl some kinda
super honor student?
**[06:50] Kyoya**
Yes, I'd say so.
**[06:52] Kiryu**
I figured!
**[06:53] Kiryu**
She picked up what
I was putting down really quick.
**[06:55] Kyoya**
Was it really that impressive?
**[06:57] Kiryu**
If she sticks to doing this, she'll be
one hell of a video editor someday.
**[07:02] Kyoya**
* I guess her involvement in the game*
* industry happened pretty naturally.*

Hate to bug you
when you're working and all...
**[07:13] Kyoya**
It's okay. What'd you want to talk about?
**[07:15] Shino**
I came up with something great!
**[07:17] Shino**
I wanted to get your take
as soon as possible!
**[07:21] Shino**
These are the layouts
for the last cut, right?
**[07:22] Shino**
You got it! I was thinking we
could make a little addition.
**[07:26] Kyoya**
An addition?
**[07:27] Shino**
The script Tsurayuki-kun came up
with for this part was real good!
**[07:32] Shino**
So I wanted to add another cut.
**[07:35] Shino**
The boy's line here is just great!
**[07:37] Shino**
So I thought it'd be a good idea to put
his hand into the frame for that part.
**[07:41] Kyoya**
Because of his habit, right?
**[07:43] Kyoya**
Whenever he's being really
serious about something,
**[07:46] Kyoya**
he always clenches his fist.
**[07:48] Shino**
Yeah! I thought we could emphasize it!
**[07:51] Kyoya**
Additional art, huh?
**[07:55] Kyoya**
*It's a good idea.*
**[07:57] Kyoya**
* But the schedule for illustrations*
* is already falling apart.*
**[08:00] Kyoya**
*Additional art just isn't realistic.*
**[08:04] Kyoya**
* As a creator, I'd love*
* to sign off on this.*
**[08:06] Kyoya**
*But right now, considering our situation...*
**[08:10] Kyoya**
I think we're better off not changing it.
**[08:13] Shino**
How come?
**[08:14] Shino**
I think it'd be way better,
with how the scene goes.
**[08:18] Shino**
You don't think it'd be ready in time?
**[08:21] Kyoya**
It's not that.
**[08:22] Kyoya**
I want to put an emphasis on the expressions
you draw for this scene, Shinoaki.
**[08:27] Shino**
Expressions?
**[08:28] Shino**
The other CG are only used
for two lines apiece.
**[08:31] Shino**
But this one has four.
**[08:33] Shino**
It's set up that way to put an emphasis
on how expressive she's being.
**[08:39] Shino**
I guess... that's right.
**[08:41] Kyoya**
Which is why, although I think
your change is an interesting one,
**[08:44] Kyoya**
it'd still be better to go
with what we already have.
**[08:48] Kyoya**
What do you say?
**[08:51] Shino**
Okay. I'll draw it the way
it was already set up.
**[08:54] Kyoya**
I'm sorry. You came up with a good idea.
**[08:58] Shino**
Nah. Sorry to bug you
when you're already real busy.
**[09:03] Kyoya**
*This is for the best.*
**[09:04] Kyoya**
* This is the best choice,*
* for Tsurayuki's sake.*

Guys, this is the actual final stretch!
**[09:17] Kyoya**
Once we're done we can
all sleep, so hang in there!
**[09:19] Roku**
Damn it! Another typo!
**[09:21] Roku**
What the hell is wrong with my writing?!
**[09:23] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki, I know you want to fix it,
**[09:26] Kyoya**
but focus on debugging the game first!
**[09:28] Roku**
Y-Yeah, sorry.
**[09:30] Kyoya**
* It's 2:00 AM... we have to take the master*
* to the printers at 10:00 AM.*
**[09:35] Kyoya**
*That gives us eight hours.*
**[09:36] Eiko**
Hey, everybody.
**[09:38] Kyoya**
Perfect timing!
**[09:39] Kyoya**
Could you test the game out
on my PC on the second floor?
**[09:42] Kyoya**
You'll want to make the decisions
that will put you on her route!
**[09:46] Eiko**
O-Okay, then!
**[09:48] Kyoya**
Wh-What is it, Nanako?!
**[09:50] Nanako**
Th-The space where the expression was
supposed to be went all blank and smooth!
**[09:55] Kyoya**
That's a bug!
**[09:56] Kyoya**
Make a save there. I'll tell
Keiko-san about it later.
**[10:00] Nanako**
G-Got it!
**[10:01] Kyoya**
How are things on your end, Shinoaki?!
**[10:03] Shino**
I was playing, but then
the screen went all black!
**[10:07] Kyoya**
That means the game crashed!
**[10:08] Kyoya**
I'll tell Keiko-san about
that too, so leave it!
**[10:11] Keiko**
Hey, look at the busy bees.
**[10:14] Keiko**
Oh, hell, we've got some
trouble in paradise, huh?
**[10:17] Kyoya**
Yes! Can you help us with it?
**[10:19] Keiko**
Oh, yeah! Leave it to me.
**[10:22] Kyoya**
I think there was a display problem
with the expression for that scene.
**[10:26] Keiko**
That's gonna be rough.
**[10:28] Keiko**
It might be good to review all of the routes.
**[10:30] Kyoya**
Wait, really?!
**[10:32] Keiko**
Have everybody quit doing what
they're doing and focus on that for now.
**[10:38] Kyoya**
Shinoaki, restart the computer
**[10:40] Kyoya**
and run through that route again,
while checking the art!
**[10:42] Shino**
Okay, sure thing!
**[10:43] Kyoya**
You too, Kawasegawa,
you can skip through the dialog
**[10:45] Kyoya**
but make sure to check
the art's displaying!
**[10:48] Eiko**
The game already crashed
when I got to a branching decision.
**[10:52] Keiko**
That ain't good.
**[10:53] Keiko**
Might need to review
a little further back, then.
**[10:56] Kyoya**
Oh, no...
**[10:57] Roku**
How did I make a typo here, too?!
**[11:01] Nanako**
Now half the background's missing!
**[11:03] Shino**
Kyoya-kun, the whole dang
computer's crashed this time!
**[11:06] Eiko**
Hashiba, what do you
want me to do about this?
**[11:08] Kyoya**
Everyone, stay calm!
**[11:10] Kyoya**
I'm begging you!
***SIGN*** Master Rom
**[11:17] Kyoya**
Okay, that should do it...
**[11:19] Kyoya**
Thank you so much. Here it is.
**[11:21] Keiko**
Got it. I'm outta here, then.
**[11:25] Kyoya**
Good work... team?
**[11:36] Kyoya**
*And so, our game was complete.*
**[11:40] Kyoya**
*But... I still had an important job left.*
**[11:44] Kyoya**
*To actually sell the game.*
**[11:47] Keiko**
Naw, I think it'll sell just fine.
**[11:49] Kyoya**
But we haven't really done any PR
since the initial announcement.
**[11:53] Keiko**
For this game, as long as the
outside looks appealing enough,
**[11:56] Keiko**
the inside could be crap
and it'd still sell.
**[11:58] Keiko**
That's the kinda position you're in.
**[12:00] Kyoya**
You think so?
**[12:03] Keiko**
You'll see.
**[12:08] Kyoya**
Another five minutes
until the shutters go up...
**[12:12] Keiko**
What, you still worried?
**[12:13] Kyoya**
Yeah...
**[12:14] Keiko**
Look, however it happened,
you kids made something.
**[12:19] Keiko**
And you're gonna see the response it gets.

I don't ever wanna ever
look for typos again.
**[12:57] Shino**
I was drawing and drawing,
and it never ended.
**[12:59] Shino**
I kinda thought it never would.
**[13:01] Kyoya**
All of you did an absolutely
amazing job! Thank you!
**[13:04] Kyoya**
This entire project only came
together because of all of you!
**[13:08] Roku**
We couldn't have finished
if it wasn't for you, Kyoya.
**[13:12] Shino**
That's right.
**[13:13] Shino**
We couldn't have managed
a dang thing without Kyoya-kun.
**[13:17] Nanako**
We were practically leaving
all the decisions to him.
**[13:20] Nanako**
And it worked out, thanks to Kyoya!
**[13:22] Kyoya**
Aw, c-come on... Cut it out. It's not true.
**[13:26] Nanako**
Oh, Kyoya? Are those tears I see?
**[13:28] Kyoya**
N-No, of course not!
**[13:31] Shino**
You worked a bunch,
so you're bound to be tired.
**[13:34] Shino**
You can get some rest now.
**[13:36] Roku**
Yeah. She's right.
**[13:40] Kyoya**
*I was filled with an irrepressible joy.*
**[13:43] Kyoya**
* I wanted to keep making*
* things with this team.*
**[13:47] Kyoya**
* I went ten years into the past,*
* and chose to become a creator...*
**[13:51] Kyoya**
*And I'm so glad.*
**[13:53] Kyoya**
This should be enough, right?
**[13:55] Shino**
Everyone was having a lot of fun, huh?
**[13:58] Kyoya**
They probably feel relieved.
**[14:00] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki and Nanako both looked like a
weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
**[14:03] Kyoya**
*Yeah. There's no need to hang tough anymore.*
**[14:07] Kyoya**
* We chose our battles, finished our work,*
* and achieved our goal with it.*
**[14:11] Kyoya**
* We'll be able to do even*
* more things, from here on.*
**[14:15] Kyoya**
*Both in class, and in creating... and then...*
**[14:18] Kyoya**
Say, Shinoaki, what do you—
**[14:21] Shino**
Y'know, Kyoya-kun...
**[14:25] Shino**
Is this really how it oughta be?
**[14:29] Kyoya**
How it ought to be? What do you mean?
**[14:33] Shino**
It just... feels like I should ask.
**[14:37] Kyoya**
It... was a success.
**[14:40] Kyoya**
I mean, we all worked hard
to help Tsurayuki, right?
**[14:44] Nanako**
Yeah. In that case, it's fine.
**[14:48] Nanako**
Sorry for asking such a weird thing.
**[14:50] Kyoya**
No, you don't have to worry about it.
**[14:53] Shino**
Let me know if you're
feeling tired, you hear?
**[14:59] Shino**
I...
**[15:01] Shino**
will always believe in you, Kyoya-kun.
**[15:05] Kyoya**
Right.
**[15:06] Kyoya**
I'm okay. Thank you.

**[15:27] Roku**

**[15:31] Kyoya**
What're you saying? It's only beginning.
**[15:35] Roku**
Listen, Kyoya...
**[15:37] Roku**
You wanna take a walk?
**[15:43] Roku**
Whenever I had writer's block,
I'd walk around here.
**[15:46] Roku**
There's this little park.
**[15:48] Roku**
I'd sit there and brainstorm.
**[15:52] Kyoya**
Are we gonna go there now?
**[15:54] Roku**
Nah, this should do.
**[15:57] Roku**
If I went somewhere
with a lot of memories...
**[16:00] Roku**
I don't know if I'd be able to say it.
**[16:07] Roku**
I'm dropping out of school.
**[16:14] Roku**
I'm really sorry, considering how
you busted your ass for me.
**[16:17] Roku**
The three of you can split
my share. I don't need it.
**[16:22] Kyoya**
What are you saying?
**[16:24] Kyoya**
What the hell are you
talking about, Tsurayuki?!
**[16:26] Kyoya**
I thought you wanted to study!
**[16:28] Kyoya**
This money was supposed to make that happen!
**[16:31] Kyoya**
And because... because it was
too much to take care of on your own...
**[16:35] Kyoya**
That's why... why I...
**[16:37] Roku**
You can hit me, Kyoya. You've earned it.
**[16:43] Roku**
I just... can't do this anymore.
**[16:46] Kyoya**
Tsurayuki...
**[16:50] Kyoya**
I always believed
that I was talented, y'know?
**[16:54] Kyoya**
Whether it came
to script writing or novels...
**[16:56] Kyoya**
I thought I could be as good as anyone.
**[16:59] Kyoya**
But because I like writing,
and am confident about it,
**[17:03] Kyoya**
I knew that making
a living off it would be hard.
**[17:06] Kyoya**
This last year has really
driven that point home.
**[17:08] Kyoya**
That's the same as for anyone else, though!
**[17:11] Kyoya**
That's why you wanted to study!
To work hard at it!
**[17:15] Tsurayuki**
I thought that was the case, too.
**[17:17] Tsurayuki**
That everyone started out
not knowing what they're doing.
**[17:22] Tsurayuki**
Until I met you, Kyoya.
**[17:25] Kyoya**
Before... me?
**[17:28] Roku**
At first, you were smiling all the time,
so I just thought you were a nice guy.
**[17:33] Roku**
But then that smile hid a kind
of strength I had no idea about.
**[17:38] Roku**
Every time I screwed up,
or didn't rise to the challenge,
**[17:42] Roku**
you were there to make
the rational, accurate call.
**[17:46] Roku**
You were guiding us like
it came naturally to you.
**[17:49] Roku**
You're like a hurdle that I can't get past.
**[17:52] Roku**
"There's no way I can catch up
to the way this guy thinks."
**[17:54] Roku**
I wondered how many times I'd have
to redo life to get on your level.
**[17:59] Roku**
But you weren't a writer.
**[18:04] Roku**
That's why I thought
I could work with you.
**[18:07] Roku**
Work part-time, earn my tuition,
and stick to you.
**[18:13] Roku**
But I collapsed, like a dumbass,
and you saved me again.
**[18:18] Roku**
You ran around, setting everything up...
**[18:21] Roku**
You basically handled everything.
**[18:25] Roku**
And I wasn't able to do a thing about it.
**[18:28] Kyoya**
That's...
**[18:30] Roku**
But you said it was all on us.
That we deserved the praise.
**[18:35] Roku**
I couldn't believe how defeated
and lost that made me feel.
**[18:39] Kyoya**
No...
**[18:40] Roku**
I realized how I couldn't
accomplish anything without you.
**[18:45] Roku**
"I can't stay here."
**[18:48] Roku**
That was the moment
that it became clear to me.
**[18:51] Kyoya**
You're wrong!
**[18:53] Kyoya**
I... I had faith in your writing, Tsurayuki.
**[18:57] Kyoya**
That's why I was trying to figure out
a way to put a spotlight on it!
**[19:01] Kyoya**
I couldn't have done any of this
without you, either!
**[19:06] Roku**
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
I bet you could've pulled it off.
**[19:10] Roku**
"We're going to figure
something out, damn it."
**[19:12] Roku**
You've made miracles happen
after saying that before.
**[19:16] Kyoya**
It's not...
**[19:18] Kyoya**
I wasn't... I just...
**[19:21] Roku**
I had a pen name in mind,
for after I became a writer.
**[19:26] Roku**
The family name was going to be
from my hometown.
**[19:30] Roku**
It might not have the best relationship
with it now, but I did grow up there.
**[19:34] Roku**
And for the given name, Kyoya...
**[19:37] Roku**
I was thinking of taking the way your name
is pronounced for part of it.

Why did things turn out like this?

Why?
**[20:50] Kyoya**
I just... I wanted...
**[20:54] Kyoya**
* I wanted to accomplish something*
* ten years in the future.*
**[20:57] Kyoya**
* Which is why I thought this time leap*
* was my chance for that.*

*I'd go to art school, study,*
**[21:04] Kyoya**

Oh, you want me to introduce myself?

Gotta practice, right?
**[22:32] Maki**
My name is Hashiba Maki!

Hashiba... Maki?

Who? Do I have a relative named that?
**[22:42] Maki**
What's wrong, Daddy?
**[22:44] Maki**
You've been making
a weird face this whole time.
**[22:47] Kyoya**
Wait, "Daddy"?!
**[22:49] Kyoya**
You're... my kid?
**[22:52] Maki**
Hey, Mommy! Daddy's acting weird!

Whoa, wait—

Daddy being weird, Maki-chan?
**[23:11] Maki**
He keeps acting like he
doesn't know who I am!
**[23:16] Shino**
He's playing a prank on you!
**[23:19] Shino**
Isn't he a naughty daddy?
**[23:22] Shino**
Good morning, Daddy.
You certainly slept a lot.
**[23:25] Shino**
It's already afternoon.

Hey, Mom, guess what.
I learned a new song the other day!
**[00:17] Shinoaki**
Then why don't you sing it
for me after breakfast?
**[00:20] Maki**
Okay!

What's wrong?

You've been chewing on that toast
since breakfast started.
**[01:03] Maki**
Daddy, no fair!
**[01:05] Maki**
You always say I have to eat everything,
instead of just my favorites!
**[01:10] Kyoya**
You're right!
**[01:12] Kyoya**
It's important to have a balanced diet, huh?

Okay. Thanks.

Well...

Have a good day!
**[05:00] Kyoya**
Right! I'm off.
**[05:04] Kyoya**
*That said...*
**[05:05] Kyoya**

Oh, there it is.
**[06:10] Morishita**
Hashiba-san!
**[06:12] Morishita**
Excuse me! The producer wants to—
**[06:17] Kyoya**
Are you okay?
**[06:18] Morishita**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Development Department

*Morishita Miki...*
**[06:24] Morishita**
*She must be who Kawasegawa mentioned.*
**[06:27] Morishita**
Can you come with me to Tahiti right now?
**[06:29] Kyoya**
Okay.
**[06:30] Kyoya**
*Wait, Tahiti?!*
**[06:33] Kyoya**
*Oh, that's what she meant.*
**[06:36] Morishita**
Here he is!
**[06:38] Kawasegawa**
Thank you. Come on in.
**[06:41] Morishita**
Pardon us.
**[06:45] Kawasegawa**
Sorry to drag you in so early.
**[06:48] Kawasegawa**
What's wrong? You're staring a little.
**[06:53] Kyoya**
Oh, uh, it's nothing.
**[06:55] Kyoya**
So, what did you need?
**[06:58] Morishita**
I am so sorry...
**[07:00] Morishita**
This is really something our team
should be dealing with.
**[07:03] Morishita**
But here you are, taking care of it.
**[07:05] Kyoya**
You don't need to worry about it.
**[07:06] Morishita**
Thank you so much.
**[07:08] Morishita**
The producer was right about you!
**[07:11] Kyoya**
Did Kawasegawa mention me before?
**[07:13] Morishita**
Yes! "If we let Hashiba-san
handle it, it'll be fine."
**[07:17] Morishita**
"Since he was a student,
he's had secret tricks"
**[07:20] Morishita**
"that'll help turn around even
the most dire situations!"
**[07:22] Kyoya**
As glad as I am to have her faith,
it feels kinda exaggerated.
**[07:29] Minori**
*Yes?*
**[07:30] Kyoya**
This is Hashiba, from Attraction Point.
**[07:32] Minori**
*Oh, I was waiting for you!*
**[07:35] Minori**
*I'll buzz you in.*
**[07:36] Morishita**
No way!
**[07:39] Morishita**
You really are amazing, Hashiba-san.
**[07:42] Morishita**
Every time I tried to get ahold of her,
she pretended she wasn't home.
**[07:46] Morishita**
This must be one of those
tricks I heard about!
**[07:48] Kyoya**
It's nothing fancy like that.
**[07:50] Kyoya**
First, I used social media
to confirm that she was home.
**[07:53] Kyoya**
Then, 30 minutes before we
got here, I sent this message.
**[07:57] Kyoya**
"I'm in your neighborhood right now, Sensei."
**[08:00] Kyoya**
"Is it all right if I come by?"
**[08:03] Morishita**
I get it! It'd be hard to say no
to something like that.
**[08:06] Morishita**
But why 30 minutes beforehand?
**[08:08] Kyoya**
Well, if she wants to do her makeup,
or clean up the room...
**[08:12] Kyoya**
It gives the other party time to prepare.
**[08:15] Kyoya**
That goes for getting mentally prepared, too.
**[08:19] Kyoya**
You have a much better chance
of meeting with someone
**[08:22] Kyoya**
if you give them a little buffer.
**[08:23] Morishita**
I see!
**[08:26] Kyoya**
I'm just glad that was all I had to do.
**[08:28] Morishita**
What do you mean?
**[08:30] Kyoya**
Well, it's nothing illegal.
**[08:33] Kyoya**
But there are more devious tactics.
**[08:45] Minori**
Coming!
**[08:47] Minori**
Sorry about the delay—
**[08:48] Morishita**
Hello!
**[08:50] Morishita**
It's good to see you again, Sensei.
**[08:54] Minori**
Look...
**[08:55] Minori**
Um... I didn't mean to cause any problems.
**[09:00] Minori**
But y'know, there are times when
it's hard to get anything done, right?
**[09:03] Minori**
You can try to draw something
**[09:05] Minori**
but it turns out, like,
"What the heck is this?"
**[09:06] Kyoya**
*Minori Ayaka.*
**[09:08] Kyoya**
*Her real name is Saikawa Minori.*
**[09:10] Kyoya**
* She's a particularly popular illustrator*
* who's got over 200,000 followers.*
**[09:14] Kyoya**
* She's handling the main*
* character designs on a project*
**[09:19] Kyoya**
* that Attraction Point has*
* staked its entire future on.*
**[09:23] Kyoya**
* And with one of the most popular*
* illustrators in the zeitgeist working on it,*
**[09:27] Kyoya**
*the game's profile is nice and high.*
**[09:29] Kyoya**
*Which is a start, but...*
**[09:31] Minori**
I understand! Believe me, I understand.
**[09:35] Minori**
I seriously, just honestly
can't get anything done!
**[09:37] Morishita**
But...
**[09:39] Kyoya**
* It seems that Minori Ayaka*
* isn't the quickest worker.*
**[09:43] Kyoya**
Sensei...
**[09:45] Kyoya**
The designs were scheduled
to be finished by February.
**[09:48] Kyoya**
You've never needed this much
extra time before, correct?
**[09:53] Kyoya**
For you to be at a standstill
at a time like this...
**[09:56] Kyoya**
I'm guessing there's
some sort of reason why.
**[09:58] Kyoya**
Something that goes beyond
just not being motivated.
**[10:04] Minori**
There really is no fooling you,
huh, Hashiba-san?
**[10:11] Minori**
There's just... nothing
I want to draw anymore.
**[10:15] Morishita**
Do you mean...
**[10:18] Minori**
I've done everything I wanted to.
**[10:20] Minori**
So I'm thinking... maybe that's enough.
**[10:23] Morishita**
B-But... you have so many fans, Sensei!
**[10:27] Minori**
Well, of course I'm grateful to my fans.
**[10:31] Minori**
But that doesn't have anything to do
with the desire to draw.
**[10:35] Minori**
It feels like there's nothing
to get excited about.
**[10:38] Minori**
Or like I'm not sure what
I'm working toward anymore.
**[10:41] Morishita**
Oh, no...
**[10:42] Morishita**
Hashiba-san!
**[10:45] Morishita**
Hashiba-san?
**[10:48] Kyoya**
That art...
**[10:50] Minori**
Wait! That's still a work-in-progress!
**[10:56] Kyoya**
This is incredible.
**[11:00] Kyoya**
It's a wonderful piece of art.
**[11:02] Kyoya**
It seems different
from your usual style, too.
**[11:05] Kyoya**
But it feels natural, like you've
been drawing this way for years.
**[11:08] Kyoya**
And the style you're using
is a perfect match for the subject.
**[11:11] Kyoya**
It's honestly overwhelming!
**[11:16] Minori**
That is *so* great to hear!
**[11:18] Minori**
Do you really, really like it, Hashiba-san?!
**[11:22] Kyoya**
Yes. A great deal.
**[11:23] Minori**
Awesome!
**[11:25] Minori**
See, this piece...
**[11:26] Minori**
I drew it using a style closer
to what I started out with!
**[11:30] Minori**
I was trying to get back to my roots!
**[11:32] Kyoya**
Back to your roots?
**[11:33] Minori**
Yeah! There's an artist I used to idolize,
**[11:36] Minori**
and this is their style.
**[11:39] Minori**
I seriously, seriously love their stuff!
**[11:44] Minori**
I think I'm feeling kinda motivated now!
**[11:47] Morishita**
Really?!
**[11:49] Minori**
I mean, I can't promise
anything right away...
**[11:51] Minori**
But I'm feeling more optimistic
about getting things done, maybe?
**[11:55] Minori**
For now, let's hear about
the schedule you mentioned.
**[12:00] Morishita**
Of course!
**[12:02] Kyoya**
* I wasn't sure how this would go,*
* but it seems to have worked out.*
**[12:07] Kyoya**
*It's different from the future I wanted.*
**[12:10] Kyoya**
* But it looks like there's something*
* for me to do in this world, too.*
**[12:13] Kyoya**
* I'm able to work with*
* talented creators like her.*
**[12:17] Kyoya**
* I guess my dream came true,*
* one way or another.*
**[12:20] Kyoya**
Okay!
**[12:23] Shinoaki**
Come on, Maki, eat your vegetables.
**[12:28] Kyoya**
* This is probably most*
* people's idea of happiness.*
**[12:31] Kyoya**
*A cute wife, our daughter,*
**[12:35] Kyoya**
*and a job that's going well...*
**[12:37] Shinoaki**
Honey?
**[12:39] Shinoaki**
You seem happy.
**[12:41] Shinoaki**
Did something good happen at work?
**[12:44] Kyoya**
Well, yeah.
**[12:46] Kyoya**
I actually got to meet
Minori Ayaka-san today.
**[12:50] Shinoaki**
Minori... Ayaka-san?
**[12:52] Kyoya**
She's a famous illustrator.
Have you not heard of her?
**[12:57] Shinoaki**
No... sorry.
**[13:00] Kyoya**
Come to think of it, Summer Comiket
is taking submissions soon.
**[13:05] Kyoya**
Did you apply?
**[13:08] Shinoaki**
Honey...
**[13:10] Shinoaki**
Kyoya-kun, what are you talking about?
**[13:13] Shinoaki**
I haven't drawn in years.
**[13:22] Kyoya**
Wh-Why?!
**[13:23] Maki**
Daddy?
**[13:30] Shinoaki**
There was... nothing
I wanted to draw anymore.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Minori**
There's just... nothing
I want to draw anymore.
**[13:41] Shinoaki**
Honey? Honey!
**[13:44] Shinoaki**
Are you okay?
**[13:47] Kyoya**
Oh... yeah.
**[13:49] Maki**
Daddy, that's bad manners!
**[13:51] Shinoaki**
It's okay, Maki.
**[13:53] Shinoaki**
Dad's just kind of surprised.
**[13:56] Maki**
Surprised? About what?
**[13:58] Kyoya**
*Shinoaki...*
**[14:00] Kyoya**
*Akishima Shino has stopped making art?*
**[14:04] Kyoya**
*That's... That can't be.*
**[14:16] Boss**
Hashiba-kun, this isn't gonna cut it!
**[14:19] Boss**
I need you to convince her to actually
get back to work like usual!
**[14:22] Morishita**
But president, thanks to
Hashiba-san, the schedule—
**[14:25] Boss**
I need more than just a schedule!
**[14:27] Boss**
We can't even get started
**[14:30] Boss**
if she doesn't get some
of these designs done!
**[14:32] Boss**
I'm asking you to do this because you
usually manage to get things taken care of.
**[14:36] Boss**
Try and take care of Minori Ayaka
as soon as possible, all right?
**[14:41] Eiko**
I'm sorry...
**[14:43] Eiko**
This was our team's problem,
and you're taking the blame for it.
**[14:47] Kyoya**
It's okay. It's not a big deal.
**[14:49] Kyoya**
By the way, do you want to
grab lunch with me?
**[14:54] Eiko**
This sucks.
**[14:56] Eiko**
I would've given the president
a piece of my mind in the old days.
**[15:00] Eiko**
I've been totally defanged.
**[15:02] Kyoya**
It's not like that.
**[15:03] Kyoya**
Once you've got a position like producer,
you can't act as hastily.
**[15:07] Kyoya**
You haven't changed, Kawasegawa.
**[15:09] Eiko**
You think so?
**[15:11] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[15:11] Kyoya**
Even your lunch...
**[15:13] Kyoya**
It's got a good nutritional balance,
and is nice and varied.
**[15:16] Kyoya**
You're busy, but you still mind the details.
**[15:19] Eiko**
Come on. I just threw something together.
**[15:22] Eiko**
But look at you. Every day
you eat a specially-made lunch.
**[15:27] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[15:30] Eiko**
I have to say, the idea of Shinoaki
getting up every morning to make lunch...
**[15:35] Eiko**
I couldn't have imagined that
back when we were students.
**[15:38] Kyoya**
You're right about that.
**[15:40] Kyoya**
She was always so awkward, and had
trouble with laundry and cleaning,
**[15:43] Kyoya**
not to mention cooking.
**[15:47] Kyoya**
*In the eleven years I wasn't privy to,*
**[15:50] Kyoya**
*Shinoaki gave up on becoming Akishima Shino,*
**[15:53] Kyoya**
*and became my wife instead.*
**[15:55] Kyoya**
*Then there's Kawasegawa...*
**[15:59] (Flashback) Eiko**
I'm the head of SucceedSoft's
second development group, Kawasegawa.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Eiko**
Nice to have you.
**[16:04] Kyoya**
* She used to work at*
* the industry leader, Succeed.*
**[16:08] Kyoya**
* And in a higher position*
* than she has now, too.*
**[16:10] Eiko**
Okay, understood. I'll be back soon.
**[16:14] Eiko**

**[17:50] Kyoya**
*It was me.*
**[17:52] (Flashback) Roku**
I'm dropping out of school.
**[17:56] Kyoya**
*Because of me...*
**[17:57] (Flashback) Roku**
I realized how I couldn't
accomplish anything without you.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Roku**
"I can't stay here."
**[18:05] Kyoya**
*Because of me... they're all...*
**[18:21] Kyoya**
*I wanted to remake my life.*
**[18:24] Kyoya**
*Into the ideal future I had dreamed of...*
**[18:27] Kyoya**
* I thought I would do everything*
* I could to make that happen.*
**[18:32] Kyoya**
* With special friends,*
* who had special talents...*
**[18:36] Kyoya**
* I wanted to get close*
* to the brilliance of the people*
**[18:39] Kyoya**
* who would be called*
* the Platinum Generation...*
**[18:43] Kyoya**
* But... what I ended up doing*
* is stealing their dreams,*
**[18:48] Kyoya**
* creating a world where*
* I'm the only one who's happy.*
**[18:58] Kyoya**
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
**[19:04] Kyoya**
I'm home.
**[19:06] Shinoaki**
What happened?! You're a total mess!
**[19:09] Maki**
Daddy, you stink like booze!
**[19:12] Kyoya**
Sorry.
**[19:13] Kyoya**
I'm sorry, Shinoaki.
**[19:17] Shinoaki**
It's okay.
**[19:19] Shinoaki**
Something real bad must've happened, huh?
**[19:22] Kyoya**
I'm sorry!
**[19:24] Kyoya**
I mean it, I'm sorry!
**[19:25] Kyoya**
It's my fault!
**[19:28] Kyoya**
Because of me, you...
**[19:30] Shinoaki**
Kyoya-kun...
**[19:31] Maki**
Oh, no, Daddy's crying!
**[19:34] Maki**
Like a kid.
**[19:46] Shinoaki**
I kinda figured you'd gotten
over it by now...
**[19:51] Shinoaki**
Me not drawing anymore.
**[19:56] Kyoya**
Shinoaki...
**[19:57] Shinoaki**
I never did tell you why, huh?
**[20:03] Shinoaki**
It must've been troubling you all this time.
**[20:08] Shinoaki**
HaruSora sold well...
**[20:10] Shinoaki**
And even without Tsurayuki-kun,
we kept on making games.
**[20:15] Shinoaki**
Remember how it went?
**[20:19] Kyoya**
I guess I do...
**[20:22] Shinoaki**
But at some point, I wasn't even sure
if what I was doing was art anymore.
**[20:29] Kyoya**
* Because I was in a rush*
* to finish the game,*
**[20:33] Kyoya**
* I ended up snuffing out Shinoaki's*
* individuality as a creator*
**[20:37] Kyoya**
*to suit my own priorities.*
**[20:39] Kyoya**
*If that turned into a pattern afterward...*
**[20:43] Kyoya**
I may have done something
there's no coming back from.
**[20:48] Shinoaki**
It started being less and less fun to draw.
**[20:53] Shinoaki**
But you were just trying
to do what you could.
**[20:58] Shinoaki**
You worked harder than anyone!
**[21:00] Shinoaki**
So it ain't your fault, you hear?
**[21:04] Shinoaki**
It's more that...
**[21:06] Shinoaki**
I would feel bad about what I was making,
when no one was around.
**[21:10] Kyoya**
What do you mean?
**[21:13] Shinoaki**
I'd make art, and you
would always praise it.
**[21:17] Shinoaki**
When I put it out into the world,
even more folks would say it was good.
**[21:21] Shinoaki**
Even when I wasn't satisfied with it...
and didn't know what I was doing.
**[21:26] Shinoaki**
It started to really scare me.
**[21:33] Kyoya**
*She must've been feeling a kind of solitude*
**[21:36] Kyoya**
*that only she could understand back then.*
**[21:39] Kyoya**
*And I wasn't able to realize it.*
**[21:50] Shinoaki**
It's okay now.
**[21:55] Kyoya**
*I'm sorry.*
**[21:58] Kyoya**
*Shinoaki... I'm so sorry.*

**[00:05] Kyoya**
Whoa, this soup is delicious!
**[00:08] Shino**
I'm glad.
**[00:09] Shino**
It wasn't a mix or anything,
I actually made it from scratch!
**[00:13] Maki**
Mommy's good at cooking, right?
**[00:15] Both**
Right!
**[00:17] Kyoya**
* Because of me,*
* Shinoaki lost her desire to draw,*
**[00:20] Kyoya**
*and put down her pen.*
**[00:22] Kyoya**
* She lost the future where*
* she becomes Akishima Shino.*
**[00:25] Kyoya**
*And yet...*
**[00:26] (Flashback) Shino**
It's okay now.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Kyoya**
I'm sorry, Shinoaki.
**[00:31] (Flashback) Kyoya**
I'm so sorry.
**[00:34] Kyoya**
*To make sure her sacrifice wasn't in vain...*
**[00:36] Kyoya**
* I have to live as best I can in this world*
* that's so different from the one I know.*
**[00:41] Kyoya**
*I'll do what I can, at least for now.*
**[00:45] Kyoya**
* And carefully, so that I don't*
* repeat the same mistake.*
**[02:21] Coworker**
Hashiba-san, can you check this?
**[02:26] Coworker**
What do you think?
**[02:27] Kyoya**
The body should be good to go.
**[02:29] Kyoya**
But I think the cloth here might overlap with
the other characters when they're lined up,
**[02:33] Kyoya**
so make it a little smaller.
**[02:35] Coworker**
Got it.
**[02:36] Kyoya**
And about the empty space for a symbol,
**[02:38] Kyoya**
I had the design for that made separately,
so just stick that in there.
**[02:41] Coworker**
Wait, you did?
**[02:43] Kyoya**
Yeah. It'll reduce the workload on
the illustrators, and be easier to reuse.
**[02:47] Coworker**
I should've known! That will be a big help.
**[02:49] Coworker**
Hashiba-san, three of the backgrounds
that were in the pipeline are ready.
**[02:53] Kyoya**
Got it. I'll check them right now.
**[02:55] Coworker**
The files are pretty big,
so I put them in the shared folder.
**[02:58] Kyoya**
All right.

*Huh, guess I'll respond to this email first.*
**[03:03] Kyoya**
* It's been a month since*
* I was sent into 2018,*
**[03:07] Kyoya**
* and I'm finally starting*
* to get used to my job.*
**[03:09] Kyoya**
* From the information*
* I grasped in the meantime,*
**[03:12] Kyoya**
* Entertainment Group 3*
* is working on social games.*
**[03:17] Kyoya**
* We're split up into four teams,*
* labeled A through D,*
**[03:20] Kyoya**
* and each of us are working*
* on different projects in parallel.*
**[03:23] Kyoya**
*Kawasegawa is charge of the A Team,*
**[03:25] Kyoya**
* which is the team everyone*
* thinks of regarding this group.*
**[03:27] Morishita**
* She's the Chief of*
* Entertainment Group 3, too,*
**[03:31] Kawasegawa**
What are you doing?!
**[03:31] Morishita**
*which means she's got one rough job.*
**[03:32] Morishita**
Sorry! I'm sorry!
**[03:34] Morishita**
*As for me, I'm the leader of the B Team.*
**[03:37] Morishita**
* B Team is known for its consistency*
* in making headway,*
**[03:40] Morishita**
* along with stable contributions*
* in terms of revenue,*
**[03:41] Morishita**
* so we seem to get put onto projects*
* that need a steady hand.*
**[03:45] Morishita**
* It was hard to figure out how to do*
* a job I have no memories of,*
**[03:47] Morishita**
* but once I got used to it,*
* it wasn't that hard.*
**[03:51] Morishita**
*It's not easy, but it's stable work.*
**[03:55] Morishita**
This is for the best, right?
**[03:59] Maki**
Hey, Daddy, let's play! Come on!
**[04:04] Kyoya**
Is it okay if I rest today?
**[04:06] Maki**
That's boring!
**[04:08] Maki**
Come on, Daddy! Daddy, let's go!
**[04:12] Shino**
Maki, don't bother him after he said no.
**[04:14] Shino**
It's Sunday, so let him enjoy his rest.
**[04:17] Maki**
Don't wanna!
**[04:19] Shino**
Maki, stop it!
**[04:22] Shino**
Are you going to apologize to Mr. Bear?
**[04:26] Maki**
I'm sorry.
**[04:28] Shino**
Now, listen, Maki...
**[04:31] Shino**
Whether it's a stuffed animal
or anything else,
**[04:33] Shino**
all things people make
have spirits in them.
**[04:36] Maki**
Spirits?
**[04:37] Shino**
Yep.
**[04:38] Shino**
And those spirits care a whole bunch
about all those creations.
**[04:42] Shino**
So if you throw one of them around,
what will they think?
**[04:47] Maki**
They'll be sad.
**[04:49] Shino**
Right?
**[04:50] Shino**
So be sure to be nice to Mr. Bear, Maki.
**[04:54] Maki**
Okay.
**[04:58] Kyoya**
*All creations have a spirit in them, huh?*
**[05:02] Kyoya**
* It's times like this that*
* I'm sure the woman I'm looking at*
**[05:05] Kyoya**
*is the same Shinoaki I knew.*
**[05:11] Kyoya**
*I've got a warm home life here.*
**[05:14] Shino**
Hey, why don't we go for a walk?
**[05:14] Kyoya**
* But the brilliant light*
* I used to look up to...*
**[05:16] Maki**
Yeah!
**[05:17] Maki**
Can I take Mr. Bear, too?
**[05:19] Kyoya**
* There's no trace of the glamour*
* of the Platinum Generation anymore.*
**[05:19] Shino**
Of course!
**[05:26] Boss**
Well, uh, our company
**[05:29] Boss**
in keeping with our aim
to go public next quarter,
**[05:32] Boss**
* must absolutely ensure we hit*
* our sales goal for this quarter.*
**[05:37] Boss**
*In light of that,* Mystic Clockwork*,*
**[05:40] Boss**
* the title that our company*
* is betting its future on...*
**[05:43] Boss**
*will require everyone's support*
**[05:45] Boss**
*as we work towards its completion.*
**[05:47] Boss**
*That is all.*
**[05:49] Coworker**
I feel terrible for them.
**[05:50] Coworker**
Team A's been working overnight again.
**[05:53] Kyoya**
Is it really that bad?
**[05:55] Coworker**
Well, there's the problem
with Minori Ayaka...
**[05:57] Kyoya**
Right.
**[05:58] Coworker**
But there are apparently other illustrators
they haven't been able to contact.
**[06:02] Coworker**
It sounds like a disaster.
**[06:04] Coworker**
They've had to cut characters
that were previously in the planning,
**[06:06] Coworker**
which results in changes to the script.
**[06:16] Kyoya**
Is Minori-sensei still
having trouble drawing?
**[06:19] Morishita**
Yes...
**[06:20] Morishita**
I just got an email from her
**[06:22] Morishita**
saying that she doubts she'll
manage to meet the deadline,
**[06:24] Morishita**
no matter how much she works.
**[06:27] Kyoya**
I thought we had a good conversation
with her the other day.
**[06:30] Morishita**
It's not that she's slacking or anything!
**[06:32] Morishita**
But she didn't offer any other explanation.
**[06:35] Kyoya**
Yeah, and when an artist runs into a block,
**[06:37] Kyoya**
they're usually
the ones it bothers the most.
**[06:39] Morishita**
Right. I'm a little worried
that she's letting it overwhelm her.
**[06:47] Kyoya**
That's strange.
**[06:48] Kyoya**
There's still no answer.
**[06:50] Kyoya**
Even though I arranged
an appointment beforehand.
**[06:52] Morishita**
Should we wait a bit?
**[06:54] Kyoya**
I'll try and ask her about it.
**[07:01] Kyoya**
Excuse—
**[07:01] Minori**
*Okay, I'll open it up!*
**[07:05] Morishita**
That was amazing, Hashiba-san!
**[07:07] Morishita**
She opened it as soon as she responded!
**[07:09] Kyoya**
Yeah, but... wasn't that a little too fast?
**[07:11] Morishita**
Of course not!
**[07:13] Morishita**
She seems to be feeling well,
so come on, let's go!
**[07:21] Minori**
Hey, thanks for bringing—
**[07:33] Minori**
Well...
**[07:35] Minori**
I opened the door because I thought
it was the deliveryman.
**[07:39] Kyoya**
I thought it was odd,
considering you let us in
**[07:41] Kyoya**
before we told you who we were.
**[07:44] Minori**
I don't dress like this outside at all.
**[07:47] Minori**
It's just something I mess
around with at home.
**[07:49] Minori**
Every once and a while, that's all.
**[07:51] Kyoya**
Well, sure, but... it really suits you well.
**[07:55] Minori**
Oh, thank you.
**[07:58] Minori**
This is kind of embarrassing!
**[08:00] Minori**
I mean, you know what they say
about a change of pace.
**[08:03] Minori**
I was just... really restless.
**[08:07] Minori**
So this is about
the character designs, right?
**[08:10] Morishita**
Yes!
**[08:12] Minori**
I'm sorry! It's exactly like
I wrote in the email.
**[08:15] Minori**
I've been trying to get things done, but...
**[08:18] Minori**
I just... haven't been able to so far.
**[08:23] Minori**
I've been trying all kinds of things
to motivate myself since we last talked,
**[08:27] Minori**
but it's like none of it works...
even dressing like this.
**[08:31] Minori**
I just... can't find the right thing.
**[08:34] Kyoya**
You mean, you can't find the thing
that you want to draw?
**[08:42] Kyoya**
What about the illustration
from the other day?
**[08:44] Minori**
That's...
**[08:45] Kyoya**
When you started creating art seriously,
**[08:48] Kyoya**
you said that you were drawing with
a style similar to an artist you idolized.
**[08:53] Kyoya**
Is there any chance that getting a look
at their work might help you?
**[09:00] Minori**
I'm sorry. Right now, I just... can't.
**[09:06] Minori**
I'm seriously so sorry.
**[09:08] Minori**
But... that's not the problem.
**[09:13] Morishita**
Hashiba-san, I think
that's enough for today.
**[09:15] Kyoya**
Yeah... okay.
**[09:18] Minori**
I'm sorry, Morishita-san.
I'll try and figure something out.
**[09:22] Morishita**
Right.
**[09:24] Morishita**
There's something she mentioned before.
**[09:27] Morishita**
The longer you continue in this work,
**[09:29] Morishita**
you're bound to get into a rut,
**[09:32] Morishita**
where you'll be completely
unable to draw anything.
**[09:35] Kyoya**
And I guess now is that time.
**[09:37] Morishita**
Yes. But there was more to what she said...
**[09:41] Morishita**
Once you get the right trigger,
**[09:43] Morishita**
you're suddenly able to draw again,
**[09:45] Morishita**
like you were never blocked
in the first place.
**[09:48] Kyoya**
A trigger, huh...
**[09:49] Morishita**
For now, I think even being able to meet
with her today was a big accomplishment!
**[09:53] Morishita**
Thank you so much.
**[09:55] Kyoya**
Nah...
**[09:57] Kyoya**
* The expression I saw on*
* Minori-sensei's face last time...*
**[10:00] (Flashback) Minori**
There's an artist I used to idolize,
**[10:03] (Flashback) Minori**
and this is their style.
**[10:05] (Flashback) Minori**
I seriously, seriously love their stuff!
**[10:08] Kyoya**
*There has to be something to that.*
**[10:10] Kyoya**
*Something that'll get her drawing again.*
**[10:13] Kyoya**
*That's the impression that I got.*
**[10:18] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa-kun,
do you realize what you're saying?!
**[10:20] Kyoya**
The characters designed by Minori Ayaka
are the headliners this time!
**[10:24] Kyoya**
It's already been announced to the public.
**[10:26] Kyoya**
Delays are out of the question!
**[10:29] Kyoya**
* In the end, it was decided*
* that Minori Ayaka's illustrations*
**[10:31] Kyoya**
*wouldn't be ready in time for release.*
**[10:34] Coworker**
Team A is already running on fumes
with little sleep and no time off...
**[10:39] Coworker**
Add this to it all, and I can't help
but feel sorry for them.
**[10:41] Kyoya**
Is it really that bad?
**[10:43] Coworker**
Take a look here.
***SIGN*** Delayed
**[10:45] Coworker**
They're talking about releasing
in a month, despite all this.
**[10:47] Coworker**
They're going through hell.
**[10:49] Coworker**
Not to mention this mandate that they do it
on an internally developed engine.
**[10:54] Boss**
Look, just get it done! All right?!
**[10:57] Eiko**
It's been a while since you last asked
me to join you for lunch, hasn't it?
**[11:01] Kyoya**
I guess.
**[11:02] Kyoya**
We've both been busy lately.
**[11:08] Eiko**
You want to talk about my
team's project, don't you?
**[11:10] Kyoya**
W-Well... yeah.
**[11:13] Kyoya**
I was looking at the progress sheet.
**[11:15] Kyoya**
Things don't seem to be going very well.
**[11:18] Eiko**
That's one way of putting it.
Another is that we're doomed.
**[11:21] Eiko**
I'm tempted to fly the coop to Okinawa.
**[11:29] Kyoya**
Wait, so *Mystic Clockwork*
was originally a SucceedSoft title?
**[11:34] Eiko**
You didn't know that?
**[11:36] Kyoya**
I mean, of course I did!
**[11:38] Kyoya**
If it came from a major player like Succeed,
**[11:41] Kyoya**
I bet all the pre-production materials
were in good shape.
**[11:43] Kyoya**
Wouldn't that make things relatively easier?
**[11:46] Eiko**
Everyone thought that, at first. But...
**[11:52] Eiko**
Get a load of the requests they sent in.
**[11:54] Kyoya**
These are all requests for different takes?
**[11:56] Kyoya**
And there's a lot...
**[11:58] Kyoya**
There wasn't a limit set on this
kind of thing beforehand?
**[12:00] Eiko**
I wouldn't be in this mess if there were.
**[12:03] Eiko**
By the time it was put into my lap,
**[12:06] Eiko**
the contract was already
signed under these conditions.
**[12:09] Kyoya**
And when you top it off with an
independently-developed, internal engine...
**[12:13] Eiko**
Yeah. Yet another source of headaches.
**[12:17] Eiko**
We don't have enough time
to outsource anything,
**[12:19] Eiko**
and when there are errors in the engine,
they rear their head in scripting, too.
**[12:23] Eiko**
Since the art assets are so late,
we're still using placeholders...
**[12:27] Eiko**
Which means the presentation
can't be finalized.
**[12:29] Eiko**
It's like we're making
every possible mistake.
**[12:36] Kyoya**
Listen, Kawasegawa...
**[12:38] Eiko**
I know.
**[12:39] Eiko**
The release needs to be delayed
or major changes need to be made,
**[12:43] Eiko**
one or the other, or there's
going to be major fallout.
**[12:45] Eiko**
Right?
**[12:47] Eiko**
But it's not happening.
**[12:48] Eiko**
Things are already beyond my ability
to make any kind of positive difference.
**[12:54] Eiko**
Sorry for worrying you.
**[12:56] Eiko**
But there's just...
nothing that can be done.
**[12:59] Kyoya**
Nothing... that can be done?
**[13:03] Kyoya**
This isn't like you!
**[13:04] Kyoya**
You've always tried to do your best,
until the very last second!
**[13:10] Eiko**
You're right. Thank you.
**[13:13] Eiko**
But you're the only person
who thinks that anymore.
**[13:16] Kyoya**
That's...
**[13:18] Eiko**
Sorry. I'm gonna head on back.
**[13:27] Boss**
You just don't get it!
**[13:29] Kyoya**
But sir, if they proceed at this rate,
the game will have bugs,
**[13:33] Kyoya**
which could lead to defects
nobody's imagined.
**[13:36] Boss**
You deal with bugs
and defects as they pop up.
**[13:38] Boss**
That's the whole point of maintenance.
**[13:42] Boss**
Look, I know that you need time
to make something good.
**[13:46] Boss**
But in this business, timing is everything!
**[13:49] Boss**
And delaying the release
is out of the question!
**[13:51] Kyoya**
But—
**[13:51] Boss**
Enough!
**[13:52] Boss**
This period is going to be crucial
for the company's trust going forward!
**[13:56] Boss**
We're going to go public at the same time
**[13:58] Boss**
as we release a big title
developed on an internal engine!
**[14:01] Boss**
You don't need to be a manager
to understand how important this is!
**[14:08] Kyoya**
But the engine isn't trustworthy.
It might not even be practical.
**[14:15] Boss**
*Mystic Clockwork* will be
released on schedule.
**[14:19] Boss**
It's set in stone.
**[14:26] Boss**
Hashiba-kun...
**[14:30] Boss**
This is Kawasegawa-kun's job.
**[14:33] Boss**
You need to focus on your own tasks.
**[14:35] Boss**
Don't meddle where you're not needed.
**[14:40] Boss**
Understand? I trust you.
**[14:46] Kyoya**
Right...
**[14:51] Kyoya**
Don't meddle, huh?
**[14:56] Kyoya**
*Thinking about it now,*
**[14:57] Kyoya**
* when I showed up in their lives*
* ten years ago, I changed the world.*
**[15:02] Kyoya**
*My friends, who were supposed to have become*
**[15:04] Kyoya**
* the stars known as*
* the Platinum Generation...*
**[15:06] Kyoya**
*lost their dreams because of me.*
**[15:08] Kyoya**
*I might have been trying to help,*
**[15:11] Kyoya**
* but my interference ended up taking*
* something important from them.*
***SIGN*** From the Desk of Rokuonji Tsurayuki
***SIGN*** Magic
**[15:16] Kyoya**
*And if that's the case...*
**[15:21] Kyoya**
There's nothing that can be done.
**[15:25] Kyoya**
*The month after that,* Mystic Clockwork*
launched on schedule.*
**[15:30] Passerbys**
Hey, did you play that already?
**[15:32] Passerbys**
Yeah, I installed it, but...
**[15:34] Kyoya**
*We were able to start the service,*
**[15:36] Kyoya**
* but bugs started popping up,*
* the server kept going down...*
**[15:39] Kyoya**
*There was no shortage of issues.*
**[15:41] Kyoya**
* The staff is working to put out fires, while*
* still having little sleep and no days off,*
**[15:44] Kyoya**
*but the problems are outpacing them.*
**[15:46] Passerby**
Plus, the characters
by Minori Ayaka got delayed...
**[15:49] Passerby**
Which sucks all the wind
out of my gacha sails.
**[15:51] Passerby**
Huh, really?
**[15:57] Kyoya**
*There's nothing that can be done.*
**[16:05] Maki**
Hey, Mommy, draw a horse right here!
**[16:09] Shino**
I'm sorry, but Mommy's
not a very good artist.
**[16:13] Maki**
Aw, come on!
**[16:15] Maki**
I can't draw a horse right!
**[16:19] Shino**
I'm making dinner right now, okay?
**[16:22] Kyoya**
Okay, let Daddy draw it for you.
**[16:25] Maki**
Yay!
**[16:26] Shino**
I appreciate it, honey.
**[16:29] Kyoya**
It's nothing. Don't worry.
**[16:31] Kyoya**
What kind of horse do you want?
**[16:31] Kyoya**
* Shinoaki used to be able to*
* draw anything incredibly well.*
**[16:33] Maki**
A zebra!
**[16:34] Kyoya**
A... zebra?
**[16:36] Kyoya**
*Her art always pulsated with an energy*
**[16:37] Kyoya**
* that made you feel like*
* it could jump to life.*
**[16:40] Kyoya**
*But now... she doesn't draw anymore.*
**[16:45] Kyoya**
*Even when her beloved daughter asks her.*
**[16:47] Maki**
Looks weird!
**[16:49] Maki**
Daddy, you suck!
**[16:51] Kyoya**
You think?
**[16:52] Shino**
Don't be like that, Maki.
**[16:54] Shino**
Daddy was nice enough to draw one for you.
**[16:57] Maki**
But look!
**[16:58] Shino**
Oh, that's a cute puppy!
**[17:01] Kyoya**
Sorry, one sec.
**[17:05] Kyoya**
Hello, Morishita-san? I'm at home right now.
**[17:08] Kyoya**
Did something happen?
**[17:11] Kyoya**
Okay. Okay.
**[17:14] Kyoya**
I understand.
**[17:15] Shino**
Was that work?
**[17:16] Kyoya**
Sorry. I need to step out.
**[17:20] Morishita**
I'm so sorry to bother you on your day off!
**[17:22] Kyoya**
So what's happened?
**[17:24] Morishita**
It seems that the gacha rates
are varying from account to account!
**[17:27] Kyoya**
Seriously?! That shouldn't be possible!
**[17:29] Morishita**
Yes, but...
**[17:31] Morishita**
Are you familiar with
the voice actor, Suenomori Yuta?
***SIGN*** Suenomori Yuta
My pulls on MySClo are going super well
Done with a recording session so gacha time!
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
I'm super happy!
I didn't think it'd be out this quick
And it's my character lol
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
**[17:35] Kyoya**
* It all began when the voice actor who*
* portrayed the main character, Suenomori Yuta,*
***SIGN*** Suenomori Yuta
Got another new character in MysClo's gacha!
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
Did a single-pull gacha and got a new characterrrrrr!
I didn't have them before so I'm so happyyyyyy
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
***SIGN*** Suenomori Yuta
I got an SSR on the free roll too!
My luck is on fire
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
With so many SSRs, it's p. easy to max a character out lol
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
I did a ten pull, six of which were SSRs lololol
These rates must be bugged lololol
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
oh, got an SSR
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
Another SSR!!!
MysClo rocks!
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
**[17:39] Kyoya**
*managed to draw consecutive SSR characters.*
***SIGN*** Suenomori Yuta
These great SSR rates...
Are you guys not getting them?
#MysticClockwork #MysClo #MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
I'm cracking up
I keep winning lol
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta

#MysticClockwork #MysClo
***SIGN*** Suenomori Yuta
I got another one...
Am I using up a lifetime's
worth of luck on this game????
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
I'm cracking up about all these SSRs lol
I've never seen anything like it lololol
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
Keep the SSRs coming
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
Suenomori Yuta
For real?!
My first ten-pull and I got an SSR!
#MysticClockwork #MysClo
**[17:42] Kyoya**
* This resulted in the already simmering*
* resentment at the low SSR rates...*
***SIGN*** Kaze-san
***SIGN*** Is this fraud?
**[17:47] Kyoya**
* mixing together with the persistent bugs*
* to create a storm of discontent.*
***SIGN*** Usakichi

***SIGN*** Attraction Point Co. Ltd
***SIGN*** An Apology and Update Regarding *Mystic Clockwork*
**[17:51] Kyoya**
*And to make things worse...*
***SIGN*** It's very unfortunate that a certain number
of malicious users are causing problems with the service,
and the issue will be resolved in an update to the application.
**[17:54] Kyoya**
* The company totally blew it*
* with their response.*
**[17:56] Kyoya**
*Which led to a surge of complaints...*
**[17:58] Kyoya**
* The app's currently undergoing*
* an indefinite period of maintenance.*
**[18:03] Kyoya**
*And to make things even worse...*
**[18:04] Boss**
You have to do something, Kawasegawa-kun!
**[18:06] Kyoya**
* The internally-developed engine that*
* had been a potential problem from day one*
**[18:09] Kyoya**
*was now a major problem.*
**[18:12] Eiko**
Sir, I already told you...
**[18:15] Eiko**
Unless we address the fundamental
issues causing all this—
**[18:17] Boss**
Well, we obviously can't do that
at this stage, can we?!
**[18:20] Eiko**
So you expect us to keep
a house of cards from falling apart
**[18:23] Eiko**
with more temporary stopgap measures?!
**[18:26] Boss**
Yes! Exactly!
**[18:27] Boss**
We can't do anything else at this point!
**[18:40] Morishita**
Hashiba-san!
**[18:44] Boss**
There's no stopping the train once its going!
**[18:47] Boss**
That's the kind of business we're in!
**[18:49] Eiko**
I'm trying to say—
**[18:50] Boss**
Enough already!
**[18:51] Boss**
I don't care what kind of bull you
have to spew. Just deal with it!
**[18:54] Morishita**
Hashiba-san!
**[18:56] Kyoya**
I'm sorry...
**[18:57] Kyoya**
But there's nothing I can do.
**[19:03] Boss**
It doesn't matter what comes later,
so stop worrying about it.
**[19:04] Kyoya**
* I decided not to make*
* the same mistake again.*
**[19:06] Boss**
Everything in this business
comes down to speed and timing.
**[19:07] Kyoya**
*So that I can protect this world.*
**[19:09] Boss**
While we're having this chat,
users are already ditching the service!
**[19:10] Kyoya**
*Which is why... there's nothing I can do.*
**[19:14] Eiko**
Even if it ends up taking longer,
***SIGN*** An update for you... N@NA has posted a new video.
**[19:15] Eiko**
we'd be better off admitting our mistakes,
**[19:17] Eiko**
and prioritizing an effort to
fix the underlying problems!
**[19:21] Eiko**
Pretending like we're fixing things when we're
not while taking our audience for granted
**[19:24] Eiko**
will be the exact thing that makes
people give up on this game!
***SIGN*** Excuse time!
***SIGN*** Excuse time!
**[19:29] Nanako**
*Hey there! It's N@NA!*
**[19:32] Nanako**
*Um... first, well...*
**[19:35] Nanako**
*I'm sorry!*
**[19:36] Nanako**
* I just said I was going to give up,*
* yet here I am, posting again.*
**[19:40] Nanako**
*And with an original song!*
**[19:42] Nanako**
* Man, how long has it been*
* since I uploaded something original?*
**[19:47] Nanako**
*Y'know, a long time ago, during college...*
**[19:51] Nanako**
*There was someone who told me to sing.*
**[19:54] Nanako**
* That was what set me*
* down the road of singing.*
**[19:58] Nanako**
*Yeah... it's his fault.*
**[20:01] Nanako**
*It's all his fault.*
**[20:04] Nanako**
*But... because of him,*
**[20:07] Nanako**
* someone as unremarkable*
* as me started singing!*
**[20:10] Nanako**
*I found something I could be serious about.*
**[20:12] Nanako**
*But I didn't keep at it...*
**[20:15] Nanako**
* I just relied on him,*
* instead of working hard myself...*
**[20:18] Nanako**
* And the second he was gone,*
* I started slacking.*
**[20:21] Nanako**
* I blamed it all on him,*
* and wanted to give up.*
**[20:26] Nanako**
*But... I... even if it's only me...*
**[20:31] Nanako**
* I don't want to be the one*
* who invalidates everything he did!*
**[20:35] Nanako**
* Which is why I'm going to*
* be singing some more!*
**[20:58] Kyoya**
* I don't think what I did*
* can ever be forgiven.*
**[21:01] Kyoya**
*And yet...*
**[21:02] Kyoya**
* In this world made by my own failings,*
* I found some small salvation.*
**[21:07] Kyoya**
*Not from the popular singer, N@NA...*
**[21:11] Kyoya**
*But Kogure Nanako was still singing...*
**[21:13] Kyoya**
* She hadn't given up on the thing*
* that she took seriously.*
**[21:16] Kyoya**
* She blamed me...*
* and said it was thanks to me.*
**[21:21] Kyoya**
*And that I wasn't just meddling.*
**[21:26] Nanako**
*Thanks for listening all the way to the end!*
**[21:30] Nanako**
*Well, see you next time!*
**[21:34] Boss**
I am the president of this company!
**[21:35] Eiko**
It can't be done!
**[21:36] Eiko**
If we do that, it'll mean more bugs—
**[21:36] Kyoya**
Thank you, Nanako.
**[21:38] Boss**
There's nothing else we can do!
**[21:41] Boss**
Now would you just do as I tell you?!
**[21:49] Kyoya**
*There's no way... there's* nothing*...*
**[21:53] Kyoya**
*that we can do!*
**[22:02] Kyoya**
We're going to figure something out, damn it!

**[00:00] Kyoya**
We're going to figure
something out, damn it!
**[00:07] Kyoya**
*All right, I'm doing this.*
**[01:43] Prez**
What were you shouting
about all of a sudden?!
**[01:46] Kyoya**
Sorry. I just thought
it'd help me get motivated.
**[01:49] Prez**
Oh, I see!
**[01:51] Prez**
You're going to solve this
like you usually do, then?!
**[01:54] Prez**
That's a huge relief!
**[01:58] Kyoya**
You don't mind if I handle
the response, then?
**[02:01] Prez**
Th-That's fine.
**[02:02] Prez**
But there are some points
that aren't negotiable, understand?
**[02:05] Kyoya**
I do.
**[02:06] Kyoya**
To start things off, we need
to swap engines for MysClo right away.
**[02:14] Prez**
What are you talking about?!
**[02:16] Kyoya**
What's the problem?
**[02:17] Kyoya**
The majority of the bugs are rooted directly
in the internally-developed engine.
**[02:22] Prez**
Then just have them fixed!
**[02:24] Prez**
Kawasegawa-kun was just talking
about how that should suffice!
**[02:27] Kyoya**
I'm pretty sure she said that reluctantly,
because of how adamant you were.
**[02:31] Kyoya**
But in terms of what the team is encountering,
it's frankly too far gone to fix.
**[02:34] Prez**
I-Is that the truth, Kawasegawa?
**[02:40] Eiko**
Yes.
**[02:42] Prez**
But changing the engine
at this point can't be done, can it?!
**[02:45] Prez**
There's no time! How would
we make a new one?!
**[02:50] Kyoya**
We already have an engine.
**[02:54] Coworker**
Sorry about the holdup!
**[02:55] Kyoya**
Go ahead and get started.
**[02:57] Coworker**
Leave it to me. I'll get things
going in no time.
**[03:03] Coworker**
Share your screens with mine, please.
**[03:05] Coworker**
This is the executable for MysClo.
**[03:08] Coworker**
I'll just drag it over here...
**[03:10] Team**
Wait, what? It doesn't need
to be tuned or anything?
**[03:14] Coworker**
It's fine.
**[03:15] Coworker**
Then we just run the executable, and...
**[03:21] Team**
Hey, he's right! It started up
with no extra work!
**[03:23] Team**
And it's not chewing up resources, either.
**[03:25] Team**
Or crashing from a bug.
**[03:27] Eiko**
What exactly did you do?
**[03:30] Kyoya**
It was easy.
**[03:31] Kyoya**
That's the Enidy engine, which is
famous for how stable it is.
**[03:35] Prez**
E-Enidy?!
**[03:37] Prez**
That thing costs a fortune!
And you ordered it without asking?!
**[03:40] Prez**
This is a huge issue!
**[03:42] Kyoya**
It would be, so I used Team B's budget.
**[03:47] Prez**
That's misappropriation!
**[03:49] Prez**
What exactly do you think
you're doing, as team lead—
**[03:52] Kyoya**
I did use Team B's budget,
**[03:56] Kyoya**
but why wouldn't I, considering that's
what the funds were budgeted for?
**[04:01] Eiko**
I get it.
**[04:02] Eiko**
You chose an engine
that'd also be compatible
**[04:05] Eiko**
with Team A's game, didn't you?
**[04:07] Kyoya**
Sharp as always. You got it.
**[04:10] Prez**
What are you talking about?!
**[04:11] Prez**
That has to break the terms of the license!
**[04:13] Prez**
We'd need to spend a ton
on the additional licenses—
**[04:16] Prez**
What's this?!
**[04:17] Kyoya**
An estimate on the cost
of the additional licenses,
**[04:19] Kyoya**
and Team A's total production budget.
**[04:21] Kyoya**
Even with the extra cost,
you'll still have plenty left over.
**[04:25] Prez**
Were you after this the entire time?
**[04:28] Kyoya**
I like to be prepared for the worst.
**[04:30] Kyoya**
Ideally it wouldn't have come to this,
but we're past that point.
**[04:38] Kyoya**
Okay, let's figure out
the official response.
**[04:42] Kyoya**
Producer Kawasegawa
and I already talked this over.
**[04:45] Eiko**
Uh, Hashiba—
**[04:46] Kyoya**
It's okay.
**[04:48] Kyoya**
First of all, for the person in charge
of our social media accounts...
**[04:52] Kyoya**
Morishita-san, that's you.
**[04:55] Morishita**
Wait, me?!
**[04:56] Kyoya**
You've got the broadest
outlook of everyone here,
**[05:00] Kyoya**
which puts you closest
to how the players would feel.
**[05:02] Kyoya**
You're the best choice.
**[05:04] Morishita**
But I'm not really good
at writing official-sounding copy...
**[05:07] Morishita**
And what'll I do if I make the users mad?
**[05:10] Kyoya**
There are times when that kind of response
**[05:12] Kyoya**
is more helpful than
rock-solid business speak.
**[05:14] Moroshita**
O-Okay then!
**[05:16] Kyoya**
To start with, could you contact the agency
of that voice actor, from the incident?
**[05:20] Morishita**
Are you talking about Suenomori-san?
**[05:22] Kyoya**
Yes.
**[05:23] Kyoya**
We'll apologize on the phone and via mail,
**[05:26] Kyoya**
and make it clear, publicly,
that they did nothing wrong.
**[05:30] Kyoya**
Plus, let them know we'll be
handing over the casting decisions
**[05:34] Kyoya**
for new characters appearing
in the foreseeable future to them.
**[05:37] Prez**
Wait, you can't just hand over
the casting rights like that!
**[05:40] Prez**
Do you realize how valuable—
**[05:41] Kyoya**
That value is why we need to hand it over.
**[05:44] Kyoya**
We'd be looking at a bigger loss
if this turns into a defamation suit
**[05:46] Kyoya**
with a settlement involved.
**[05:50] Kyoya**
Okay, next... Who's in charge of the scripting?
**[05:54] Team**
That's me.
**[05:55] Kyoya**
How long do you think it'd take for
a comprehensive check of the systems?
**[05:59] Team**
I can't say definitively...
**[06:01] Team**
But when you throw in all of the
nitty-gritty testing, I think around six days?
**[06:05] Prez**
Six days?!
**[06:06] Prez**
You've got three! Figure it out in three—
**[06:08] Kyoya**
Okay, you've got two weeks.
Make sure to take care of it.
**[06:10] Prez**
Are you insane?! We can't
suspend the service for two—
**[06:13] Kyoya**
When you consider it's
only ten business days,
**[06:15] Kyoya**
that leaves five days
for adjustments, three for testing,
**[06:18] Kyoya**
and two for implementation.
**[06:19] Kyoya**
How's that sound?
**[06:20] Team**
That's more than enough, yeah!
**[06:23] Kyoya**
Okay, next...
**[06:25] Kyoya**
How many apology gems
do we normally hand out?
**[06:27] Team**
For a project like this?
**[06:30] Team**
Usually enough for two or three
gacha ten-pulls is appropriate.
**[06:36] Kyoya**
In that case, let's do ten times that.
**[06:38] Team**
D-Did you say ten?!
**[06:39] Prez**
I've never heard of a game
that hands out gems like that!
**[06:42] Prez**
Enough for one extra should be fine!
**[06:45] Kyoya**
If we did that, the problems we've had
would far outshine anything else.
**[06:48] Kyoya**
We need a big enough
response to get people talking.
**[06:52] Kyoya**
And since this part is the most important...
**[06:55] Kyoya**
I want you all to listen to me very closely.
**[06:57] Kyoya**
Everybody is off for the
next two days. Period.
**[07:01] Kyoya**
No working at all. Okay?
**[07:03] Prez**
Time off?!
**[07:05] Prez**
What the hell would be the point of having
time off when everything is on fire?!
**[07:09] Kyoya**
We'll implement our initial
social media response first, of course.
**[07:12] Kyoya**
If we publicize our plans beforehand,
it shouldn't be a problem.
**[07:15] Prez**
What are you going on about?!
**[07:18] Prez**
This is a massive project that affects
the fate of the entire company!
**[07:21] Prez**
Do you understand that?!
**[07:23] Kyoya**
I wouldn't have come up with this plan
if I didn't understand it, sir.
**[07:27] Prez**
It doesn't seem like you do!
**[07:29] Prez**
Nothing you've suggested
is going to profit the company!
**[07:33] Prez**
Do you hear me?! In business,
unless you bring in profits—
**[07:36] Kyoya**
President!
**[07:41] Kyoya**
You mentioned once
that you trust me, remember?
**[07:45] Prez**
Y-Yeah...
**[07:47] Kyoya**
There was something else you said.
**[07:49] Kyoya**
About how this was an important time
for trust in the company.
**[07:53] Kyoya**
I think you understand just
how important trust can be.
**[07:57] Kyoya**
And I won't deny that meeting deadlines
is an important part of maintaining trust.
**[08:01] Kyoya**
I'm sure everyone here regrets
the fact that wasn't possible.
**[08:07] Prez**
R-Right?!
**[08:09] Prez**
Which is why the sooner
the service is functional again—
**[08:12] Kyoya**
That said, the best way to recover
trust after such a huge mistake
**[08:16] Kyoya**
isn't just getting the service
back up and running.
**[08:19] Kyoya**
We need to demonstrate how we're aware
of our culpability in a tangible fashion,
**[08:22] Kyoya**
and make sure our future plans
are as clear as possible.
**[08:26] Kyoya**
Right now, this game has made
the worst possible first impression.
**[08:30] Kyoya**
Which is why we need to go above and beyond,
**[08:33] Kyoya**
or no one will come back to it.
**[08:36] Prez**
Was the reaction to MysClo really that bad?
**[08:42] Kyoya**
There's a story about an app
that developed a critical bug.
**[08:48] Kyoya**
The marketing team
was trying to cover it up,
**[08:50] Kyoya**
but the person at the core of development
decided to go public with it,
**[08:54] Kyoya**
without making any excuses.
**[08:57] Prez**
Why do you know about that?
**[09:00] Kyoya**
An old friend of yours told me about it.
**[09:02] Kyoya**
Because you were honest about the problems,
**[09:04] Kyoya**
in the end, people trusted that app
more than they would have.
**[09:09] Prez**
That was ages ago. A youthful misadventure.
**[09:12] Kyoya**
Really?
**[09:14] Kyoya**
Because I don't think being
honest and apologetic
**[09:17] Kyoya**
could possibly be a bad thing.
**[09:20] Kyoya**
I understand everything
you're trying to say, sir.
**[09:22] Kyoya**
But still...
**[09:24] Kyoya**
Maybe you should rethink
what's really important,
**[09:26] Kyoya**
especially in an emergency like this.
**[09:30] Kyoya**
You don't have to dedicate
everything to it. But please...
**[09:34] Kyoya**
Think a little about
what's going on around here.
**[09:42] Prez**
Fine. You're free to deal
with this as you see fit.
**[09:47] Team**
What a relief!
**[09:48] Team**
Maybe now we can salvage this thing!
**[09:50] Team**
I'm gonna go ahead
and start prepping for testing.
**[09:53] Team**
And then let's finally go home!
**[09:56] Kyoya**
You had better go home, too.
It'd defeat the purpose, otherwise.
**[10:00] Eiko**
Oh, don't worry, you don't have to tell me.
**[10:02] Eiko**
I could seriously use a bath
and some sleep.
**[10:07] Eiko**
Hashiba...
**[10:10] Eiko**
Thank you.
**[10:13] Kyoya**
You're very welcome.
**[10:18] Kyoya**
Excuse me, sir.
**[10:22] Kyoya**
Thank you for being so understanding.
**[10:24] Prez**
Did you make that proposal knowing I'd fold?
**[10:29] Kyoya**
No. To be honest,
I didn't know how you'd react.
**[10:32] Prez**
I guess you're quite the gambler, then.
**[10:35] Prez**
I wouldn't call it that. It's just...
**[10:39] Prez**
I was serious.
**[10:41] Prez**
And I couldn't come up
with any other answers.
**[10:44] Prez**
That was your "serious," huh?
**[10:46] Prez**
No wonder it was such a strong argument.
**[10:48] Kyoya**
I want to make you a guarantee
in exchange for your understanding.
**[10:54] Prez**
What guarantee?
**[10:57] Minori**
And that guarantee...
**[11:00] Minori**
Was getting me to turn in
my illustrations, right?
**[11:03] Kyoya**
Yes.
**[11:05] Minori**
I would love to help, but...
**[11:08] Kyoya**
Sensei, why not really try
and get back to your roots?
**[11:12] Minori**
My roots?
**[11:13] Kyoya**
I think that the hint to your breakthrough
**[11:16] Kyoya**
has something to do
with why you started drawing.
**[11:24] Minori**
Are these...
**[11:27] Kyoya**
It's the package illustration for HaruSora.
**[11:30] Minori**
But... how?
**[11:32] Minori**
I never actually told you...
**[11:35] Kyoya**
Right.
**[11:37] Kyoya**
But when I saw the picture you working
on the other day, I was sure of it.
**[11:42] Kyoya**
"I know art like this. Very intimately."
**[11:47] Minori**
I was thinking about quitting
art once in high school.
**[11:53] Kyoya**
What made you think that?
**[11:55] Minori**
"Your roughs and color
composition are well done,"
**[11:59] Minori**
"but your art is pure technical ability."
A teacher said that to me.
**[12:04] Minori**
That my art had no real charm.
**[12:06] Minori**
That got me depressed,
and I started hating art.
**[12:11] Minori**
It was around then that a game-loving
senpai of mine got me into HaruSora.
**[12:17] Minori**
I was blown away!
**[12:18] Minori**
I realized just how amazing art
with charm could be!
**[12:22] Minori**
I felt just how much it could move somebody!
**[12:25] Minori**
And I started to want to make art like that,
from the very bottom of my heart.
**[12:30] Minori**
And, some day, I wanted to draw with
the person who was responsible for that art.
**[12:35] Kyoya**
But she's already...
**[12:38] Minori**
I know.
**[12:39] Minori**
That's why I couldn't bring myself
to tell you, Hashiba-san.
**[12:43] Kyoya**
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
**[12:46] Minori**
Please, don't apologize!
**[12:48] Minori**
I mean... it ended up
helping me again, y'know?
**[12:53] Minori**
That makes the second time
this art has done that.
**[12:56] Minori**
Give me a week to turn in some rough drafts!
**[12:58] Minori**
Another few days after that
for the line art and colors!
**[13:03] Kyoya**
Sensei!
**[13:04] Minori**
I'm going to draw! I actually want to!
***SIGN*** Character Design
Minori Ayaka
**[13:16] Morishita**
Hashiba-san!
**[13:18] Morishita**
Ayaka-sensei just called about
wanting to do another character!
**[13:22] Kyoya**
That's great to hear!
**[13:24] Morishita**
It looks like the survey
from last week is out, too!
**[13:26] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[13:27] Kyoya**
The system's stabilized, the new
characters are coming together nicely...
**[13:31] Kyoya**
I think we've managed
to recover from the disaster.
**[13:34] Kyoya**
Although things are only going to
get more busy around here.
**[13:36] Morishita**
It's okay!
**[13:38] Morishita**
That's why Kawasegawa-san came up
with that super-thick manual!
**[13:43] Morishita**
That way things can keep running
even when the leader's absent.
**[13:46] Kyoya**
She thought of everything, huh?
**[13:48] Morishita**
Everyone's talking about
how amazing you were, though.
**[13:52] Morishita**
I don't know if anyone else
would've been capable
**[13:54] Morishita**
of turning things around
in a situation like that!
**[13:56] Kyoya**
It wasn't such a big deal.
**[13:58] Kyoya**
I can't really do anything...
**[14:01] Kyoya**
Oh, it's lunch time.
**[14:03] Kyoya**
Maybe I'll invite Kawasegawa to join—
**[14:05] Moroshita**
Oh, she didn't tell you, Hashiba-san?
**[14:08] Kyoya**
Tell me what?
**[14:08] Morishita**
The producer's got a flight
leaving Haneda at 13:00.
**[14:12] Morishita**
She said she was going to Okinawa.
**[14:14] Kyoya**
Morishita-san, tell everyone
I'm taking the afternoon off!
**[14:17] Morishita**
Hashiba-san, wait—
**[14:22] Kyoya**
*I did it. I did it again!*
**[14:26] Kyoya**
* I just bulldozed over her in a situation*
* where she was in charge.*
**[14:30] Kyoya**
* It's obvious that would put her*
* in an awkward position...*
**[14:33] Kyoya**
*Costing her the trust of her subordinates.*
**[14:36] Kyoya**
* I haven't learned a single thing*
* after what happened to Tsurayuki.*
**[14:40] Kyoya**
How could I be so stupid?!
**[14:56] Kyoya**
*I'm sorry, Kawasegawa.*
**[14:59] Kyoya**
*I couldn't help you a second time.*
**[15:02] Eiko**
Wait... What are you doing here?
**[15:10] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa...

**[15:15] Eiko**
Here.
**[15:18] Kyoya**
Oh... thanks.
**[15:20] Eiko**
Seriously though, did it not occur
to you to message me on LINE?
**[15:24] Eiko**
Or just call me, maybe?
**[15:27] Kyoya**
Sorry.
**[15:29] Eiko**
Obviously I'm not quitting.
**[15:31] Eiko**
After you managed to pull
my team out of a fire...
**[15:34] Eiko**
How pathetic would I be if I ran off
before I could pay you back?
**[15:38] Kyoya**
Uh... what about Okinawa?
**[15:40] Eiko**
I've changed my mind.
**[15:42] Eiko**
I canceled the flight,
so don't worry about it.
**[15:45] Kyoya**
Sorry.
**[15:46] Eiko**
You don't have to apologize.
**[15:47] Kyoya**
Oh... sorry.
**[15:53] Eiko**
Why were you so worried about me, anyway?
**[15:59] Kyoya**
Well... I was scared.
**[16:04] Kyoya**
Everyone else left...
I was afraid you would go, too.
**[16:09] Eiko**
Hashiba...
**[16:10] Kyoya**
Shinoaki... Tsurayuki...
They were both so amazing.
**[16:16] Kyoya**
But before I realized it,
both had given up on being creators.
**[16:19] Kyoya**
Even Nanako...
**[16:22] Kyoya**
It's all my fault.
**[16:25] Kyoya**
I think I'm trying to help people,
but in the end, all I do is help myself.
**[16:30] Kyoya**
The things I do to try and help others...
**[16:35] Kyoya**
just end up making them miserable.
**[16:37] Eiko**
I see.
**[16:39] Eiko**
You've been saying that this entire time...
**[16:41] Eiko**
About how you feel guilty
about what happened.
**[16:43] Eiko**
About how you're worthless.
**[16:46] Eiko**
And whenever I asked you about it,
you would just clam up.
**[16:52] Kyoya**
It's the truth.
**[16:58] Eiko**
You think they're all miserable
because of you.
**[17:02] Eiko**
You really do, don't you?
**[17:04] Kyoya**
Yeah. I should've never
been here in the first place.
**[17:15] Eiko**
I see.
**[17:21] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa?
**[17:28] Kyoya**
What was that for?!
**[17:30] Eiko**
Shut up!
**[17:31] Eiko**
God, you are so annoying!
**[17:33] Kyoya**
C-Cut it out! What did I say?!
**[17:37] Eiko**
You didn't *say* anything!
**[17:39] Eiko**
You were always an honor student,
and such a straight shooter,
**[17:43] Eiko**
enough that you made me feel jealous!
**[17:45] Kyoya**
K-Kawasegawa?
**[17:47] Eiko**
So, why?! Why did you never ask for help?!
**[17:51] Eiko**
Why do you always try
to handle everything yourself?!
**[17:54] Eiko**
Did you think we couldn't handle it?
**[17:57] Eiko**
Why didn't you try leaning on someone else
when you didn't know what to do?!
**[18:05] Eiko**
You weren't able to support
yourself after awhile.
**[18:08] Eiko**
It's the same as before.
**[18:11] Eiko**
You were chasing after
Tsurayuki after he left,
**[18:14] Eiko**
trying to write scripts even
though it wasn't your thing...
**[18:17] Eiko**
It never occurred to you
to find another writer.
**[18:22] Eiko**
You didn't put up any resistance
when Shinoaki decided to stop drawing,
**[18:25] Eiko**
and couldn't help Nanako
through her frustration.
**[18:28] Eiko**
But... But...
**[18:31] Eiko**
How does that amount to being
responsible for their futures?!
**[18:34] Eiko**
Who says that's your responsibility?!
**[18:37] Eiko**
It's not like you made them do anything!
**[18:40] Eiko**
Why would you blame yourself?!
**[18:42] Eiko**
To the point of depression
and getting so torn up...
**[18:46] Eiko**
"I'm useless."
**[18:48] Eiko**
How could... How could you possibly think that?!
**[18:55] Eiko**
You've always, always worked so hard.
**[19:01] Eiko**
You always put your personal stuff aside,
and always try to help other people,
**[19:06] Eiko**
so they'd be able to make something.
**[19:09] Eiko**
When we laughed, we all laughed together,
**[19:12] Eiko**
but when you cried,
you always did it alone.
**[19:15] Eiko**
You haven't done a single thing wrong.
**[19:20] Eiko**
And if anyone says otherwise,
**[19:23] Eiko**
I won't let them get away with it!
**[19:26] Eiko**
You understand me?!
**[19:29] Eiko**
So have a little confidence!
**[19:31] Eiko**
You should've never been here?!
There's no way that's true!
**[19:35] Eiko**
Or would you say you being around
to save me was a mistake, too?!
**[19:42] Eiko**
Am I right?!
**[19:44] Eiko**
You're amazing, okay?! I promise!
**[19:47] Eiko**
Out of everyone I've ever met...
**[19:50] Eiko**
You're the most generous,
most exciting, hardest to predict...
**[19:54] Eiko**
And that's why I loved you!
Why I looked up to you!
**[19:58] Eiko**
So stop being so pessimistic!
**[20:09] Kyoya**
U-Um... did you just...
**[20:12] Eiko**
Forget those last two. Too much information.
**[20:16] Kyoya**
O-Okay...
**[20:20] Kyoya**
Um... sorry—
**[20:23] Kyoya**
I mean... uh...
**[20:27] Kyoya**
Thank you, Kawasegawa.
**[20:43] Both**
Lukewarm.
**[20:43] Both**
Lukewarm.
**[20:57] Eiko**
Listen... hypothetically...
**[21:00] Eiko**
If I found myself back in time,
in front of you, when you were suffering...
**[21:05] Eiko**
I think I would've done
whatever it took to help you.
**[21:08] Eiko**
But knowing how you were back then,
**[21:11] Eiko**
you would've never actually
turned to me for help.
**[21:15] Kyoya**
No... You've helped me
a lot already, Kawasegawa.
**[21:19] Kyoya**
More than enough.
**[21:20] Eiko**
Except I didn't.
**[21:22] Eiko**
Listen, I have no idea if there's such
a thing as reincarnation,
**[21:26] Eiko**
but next time? I'm going to
actually help you.
**[21:29] Eiko**
Got it?
**[21:32] Kyoya**
Okay. I'll be counting on you, then.
**[21:46] Eiko**
Okay! I think I'm going to
Okinawa after all.
**[21:51] Eiko**
I'll see if I can exchange my ticket,
**[21:55] Eiko**
and if I can, I'll catch the next flight.
**[22:01] Eiko**
Don't worry. I'm coming back.
**[22:04] Eiko**
See ya.
**[22:05] Kyoya**
Kawasegawa!
**[22:07] Eiko**
One other thing...
**[22:09] Eiko**
You blame yourself for everybody quitting,
**[22:12] Eiko**
but you managed to help
one person, at least.
**[22:15] Kyoya**
I did?
**[22:16] Eiko**
I mean Minori Ayaka.
**[22:18] Eiko**
The game that you made
is what got her drawing, right?
**[22:23] Kyoya**
Yeah. I guess I did help someone, at least.
**[22:28] Eiko**
In this world...
**[22:31] Eiko**
Everything has some purpose, I think.
**[22:46] Kyoya**
*She really did save me.*
**[23:02] Kyoya**
I wish I could go back to the old days.
**[23:05] Kyoko**
Yeah, I figured it was about time for that.
**[23:12] Kyoko**
Yo, Hashiba-kun. How you been?
**[23:16] Kyoya**
It's you...
**[23:31] Kyoya**
Hello again, Keiko-san.

**[00:02] Kyoya**
Hello again, Keiko-san.
**[00:05] Keiko**
You already know it's about time, right?
**[00:11] Keiko**
You wanna head back to the past, don't you?
**[00:14] Kyoya**
Yes.
**[00:18] Keiko**
Are you *really* sure, though?
**[00:26] Keiko**
I mean, you're about as happy as most
people could hope to be this world.
**[00:31] Keiko**
You've got a wife, a little girl,
a job where they rely on you...
**[00:36] Keiko**
I honestly don't see why you'd
wanna head back to those hard times.
**[00:44] Keiko**
You're really willing to throw
this happiness aside
**[00:47] Keiko**
to head back to the past, young man?
**[02:45] Keiko**
I guess that's my answer.
**[02:47] Kyoya**
I...
**[02:49] Kyoya**
I didn't go back in time
because I wanted to be happy.
**[02:56] Kyoya**
It wasn't about getting a nice girl...
**[02:59] Kyoya**
Or using cheats to become a hero.
**[03:04] Kyoya**
I wanted to struggle. To be hurt.
**[03:08] Kyoya**
To lose hope... To be pushed to the edge.
**[03:12] Kyoya**
And with them...
**[03:14] Kyoya**
If I can go through it all with them...
**[03:17] Kyoya**
I'd take that over a happy future any day.
**[03:23] Kyoya**
I want to go back.
**[03:27] Kyoya**
I want to go back to the past,
to be with everyone.
**[03:33] Kyoya**
Back when we were all together...
**[03:35] Kyoya**
I want to go back!
**[03:37] Keiko**
Here.
**[03:47] Keiko**
You've got a good look to you right now.
**[03:53] Keiko**
Okay, let's do this thing.
**[03:59] Kyoya**
Wait a second!
**[04:01] Keiko**
What now? Having second thoughts after all?
**[04:05] Kyoya**
Over the last few months,
I've met a lot of different people.
**[04:10] Kyoya**
I have thoughts about them all, but...
**[04:14] Kyoya**
No regrets.
**[04:16] Kyoya**
Still...
**[04:19] Kyoya**
There's someone I have to say goodbye to.
**[04:27] Keiko**
I getcha. Go on, then.
**[04:49] Kyoya**
I'm home!
**[04:50] Maki**
Hey, hey, Daddy!
**[04:52] Kyoya**
What is it?
**[04:53] Maki**
Y'know what? I found out that
Mommy is really good at drawing!
**[04:57] Kyoya**
She is?
**[04:59] Maki**
Yeah! Look at this!
**[05:03] Kyoya**
This is...
**[05:05] Kyoya**
It's Shinoaki's art.
**[05:10] Shino**
Honey, welcome home...
**[05:12] Shino**
Maki! Did you already show him?
**[05:16] Kyoya**
What happened? With the art.
**[05:20] Shino**
Well...
**[05:23] Shino**
I tried that game you told me about.
**[05:27] Kyoya**
You mean MysClo?
**[05:30] Shino**
Minori Ayaka-san...
**[05:32] Shino**
I thought her art was really wonderful.
**[05:36] Shino**
It made me want to... try drawing.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Shino**
One other thing...
**[05:43] (Flashback) Shino**
You blame yourself for everybody quitting,
**[05:46] (Flashback) Shino**
but you managed to help
one person, at least.
**[05:49] (Flashback) Shino**
I did?
**[05:50] (Flashback) Shino**
I mean Minori Ayaka.
**[05:58] Shino**
Uh... Kyoya-kun?
**[06:01] Maki**
Daddy? What's wrong?
**[06:04] Maki**
Hey, Daddy?
**[06:32] Shino**
It's real strange.
**[06:34] Shino**
I hadn't drawn in so long...
**[06:37] Shino**
But soon as I got the itch,
it happened real naturally.
**[06:44] Shino**
It only took the littlest thing.
**[06:48] Kyoya**
I'm sorry.
**[06:50] Shino**
It ain't anything for you to apologize for.
**[06:52] Shino**
I couldn't draw anymore...
**[06:54] Shino**
But I had you, and I had Maki.
**[07:00] Shino**
That made me think it'd be okay.
**[07:03] Shino**
The next day would always come...
**[07:07] Shino**
And I thought that was good enough.
**[07:10] Shino**
But y'know... when
I started wanting to draw...
**[07:15] Shino**
A bunch of stuff I had
forgotten hit me real hard...
**[07:19] Shino**
It was a lot of fun.
**[07:23] Shino**
So much...
**[07:30] Shino**
So, Kyoya-kun...
**[07:33] Shino**
Y'know, I... wanna make
a bunch of art again.
**[07:40] Shino**
So... when I'm working,
I'm gonna be kinda...
**[07:46] Shino**
Focused, y'know?
**[07:49] Shino**
And as far as Maki goes, I dunno if—
**[07:52] Kyoya**
Don't worry.
**[07:54] Kyoya**
I'll support you however I can.
**[07:58] Kyoya**
So, it's okay for you to work on your art.
**[08:05] Shino**
Thank you, Kyoya-kun.
**[08:08] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[08:10] Shino**
Y'know, I wanna try drawing something big!
**[08:15] Shino**
I'm not sure how it's
gonna turn out at first,
**[08:19] Shino**
so I'll go small on backgrounds...
**[08:21] Shino**
But then, I wanna draw
something a lot bigger...
**[08:25] Shino**
A place with lots of space!
**[08:28] Shino**
It can be in nature, or in the city...
**[08:32] Shino**
And girls!
**[08:35] Shino**
I dunno what kinda girls folks
are drawing these days.
**[08:42] Shino**
I can't wait to see what people are doing.
**[08:47] Shino**
And then, y'know what else?
**[09:25] Kyoya**
Okay, I'm heading out.
**[09:27] Shino**
Okay. Be careful.
**[09:29] Maki**
Daddy, have a good day!
**[09:38] Maki**
Daddy, too tight!
**[09:43] Kyoya**
Thank you.
**[09:51] Shino**
Thank you.
**[09:57] Kyoya**
Off I go.
**[09:59] Shino**
Have a good day!
**[10:00] Maki**
Have a good day!
**[10:22] Keiko**
Looks like you're done.
**[10:27] Keiko**
There's something I wanna tell you.
**[10:30] Kyoya**
What's that?
**[10:33] Keiko**
You've been talking about this
power of yours in a bad way,
**[10:36] Keiko**
like it's a cheat, or you're playing dirty.
**[10:40] Keiko**
"I know the future, so it's only
natural that I can pull stuff off."
**[10:46] Keiko**
But you've never played dirty.
**[10:51] Keiko**
You haven't used your knowledge
to hurt other people,
**[10:54] Keiko**
and you haven't tried
to unfairly profit off of it, either.
**[10:58] Keiko**
You've only been using your own strength,
**[11:00] Keiko**
and you've always considered
other people before acting.
**[11:02] Keiko**
That's how you were able to
gain their trust, y'know?
**[11:06] Kyoya**
You think people trust me?
**[11:10] Keiko**
Yeah, man.
**[11:11] Keiko**
That's why Kawasegawa-chan and
Shinoaki-chan were both so grateful to you.
**[11:16] Keiko**
I'd bet that goes for Nanako-chan
and Tsurayuki-kun, too.
**[11:22] Kyoya**
I hope you're right.
**[11:25] Keiko**
Anyway, that said,
it ain't like you're a hero.
**[11:30] Keiko**
You're still a interloper
who's popped in from outta nowhere
**[11:32] Keiko**
and changing the future
from what it originally was.
**[11:36] Keiko**
Doing it for their sake,
or trying to help 'em...
**[11:40] Keiko**
You get that's not how
this works now, right?
**[11:44] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[11:45] Kyoya**
I think now that I was really full of myself.
**[11:51] Kyoya**
I thought by using this
power to help people...
**[11:53] Kyoya**
I could be like their savior.
**[11:57] Kyoya**
But that was just my ego talking.
**[12:01] Kyoya**
So I'm done trying to act high and mighty.
**[12:06] Kyoya**
I'm going to trust the others,
believe in myself...
**[12:11] Kyoya**
and give it my all.
**[12:16] Keiko**
Well, welcome back, protagonist!
**[12:18] Keiko**
Hope you're ready for hell again!
**[12:24] Keiko**
Let's get a move on, then.
**[12:40] Nanako**
Kyoya!
**[12:41] Nanako**
Shinoaki! Kyoya's awake!
**[12:44] Nanako**
Kyoya, are you okay?
**[12:46] Nanako**
You collapsed out front!
We were really worried!
**[12:49] Kyoya**
Nanako... I'm home.
**[12:53] Nanako**
Uh... welcome home.
**[12:55] Shinoaki**
Kyoya-kun! You're awake!
**[12:58] Kyoya**
Shinoaki...
**[13:02] Nanako**
Anyway, Kyoya, there's bad news!
**[13:05] Nanako**
Tsurayuki's dropping out of school.
**[13:08] Nanako**
He said he told you already.
**[13:10] Nanako**
Then he came here to say good-bye
to Shinoaki and me.
**[13:13] Shinoaki**
What in tarnation happened
with him, Kyoya-kun?
**[13:18] Kyoya**
I see. Okay.
**[13:20] Kyoya**
For now... let's consider the future.
**[13:24] Shinoaki**
What do you mean?
**[13:26] Kyoya**
I'm going to step outside
for a sec. I won't be long.
**[13:31] Shinoaki**
Kyoya-kun!
**[13:33] Shinoaki**
Kyoya-kun... you're coming back, right?
**[13:37] Kyoya**
It's okay. I'm not going anywhere anymore.
**[14:05] Kyoya**
*This is where I'll start.*
**[14:08] Kyoya**
*No more regrets.*
**[14:11] Kyoya**
*It's not that I think I'm always right...*
**[14:13] Kyoya**
* I'm not a champion of justice,*
* or some kind of hero.*
**[14:16] Kyoya**
* I'm just going to chase*
* the things I believe in.*
**[14:21] Kyoya**
*I want to make something.*
**[14:23] Kyoya**
* I went ten years back in time*
* because I wanted to create.*
**[14:27] Kyoya**
* I didn't bring some kind*
* of cheating advantage to the past...*
**[14:31] Kyoya**
* Just the kind of passion*
* that I'll never have again.*
**[14:42] Kyoya**
*This is when our remake really starts.*

What's up, Hashiba?!
**[15:09] Gen**
You're looking kinda down!
**[15:10] Gen**
Summer heat getting to you?
**[15:12] Kyoya**
Nah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about.
**[15:15] Gen**
That so?
**[15:17] Gen**
Well, if you ever feel
worn out, just holler!
**[15:20] Gen**
I know some bishoujo games
that'll have you wondering
**[15:22] Gen**
how you could've ever been feeling down!

Oh, watch me spin like a peach!
**[15:36] Gen**
might I trouble you for one?
**[15:40] Kiryu**
Y'know, Hashy...
**[15:42] Kiryu**
You're looking a lot older all of a sudden.
**[15:45] Kyoya**
I hadn't noticed.
**[15:46] Kiryu**
I know! And I know how you feel, but...
**[15:49] Kiryu**
This is the kinda thing that other
people have to point out to you.
**[15:54] Kiryu**
Wouldn't you say, Hiyama-chan?
**[15:55] Hiyama**
I think so.
**[15:57] Hiyama**
Although you're looking
pretty rough around the edges
**[15:59] Hiyama**
after these last two months, too.
**[16:01] Kyoya**
* Things have gotten back to normal so*
* completely that it's easy to wonder*
**[16:06] Kyoya**
*if that time in the future ever happened.*
**[16:09] Kyoya**
*Everyone seems to be the same.*
**[16:12] Kyoya**
*But Tsurayuki is still gone.*
**[16:16] Kano**
Rokuonji said that it was family business.
**[16:19] Kano**
Have you heard any specifics, Hashiba?
**[16:24] Kyoya**
No. Nothing in particular.
**[16:30] Kano**
I see.
**[16:35] Kano**
It's a shame, considering his
tuition woes were finally solved.
**[16:40] Kyoya**
Yeah.
**[16:42] Kyoya**
*He hasn't come back to school.*
**[16:45] Kyoya**
*But I'm not giving up.*
**[16:49] Kyoya**
* If he's Kawagoe Kyoichi,*
* I know we'll meet again.*
**[16:55] Kyoya**
* And I've noticed signs of change*
* with Nanako and Shinoaki.*
**[17:00] Nanako**
Kyoya...
**[17:03] Nanako**
About the thing I mentioned the other day...
**[17:05] Nanako**
What do you think?
**[17:07] Kyoya**
You mean the romantic messages
you got from a fan?
**[17:11] Nanako**
Not that!
**[17:14] Nanako**
The one about the offer.
**[17:17] Nanako**
A circle that's making a dojin game
asked me to work with them.
**[17:21] Kyoya**
Oh, for composing and
performing their theme song?
**[17:26] Kyoya**
Why not give it a try?
**[17:28] Nanako**
But y'know... it's kinda scary.
**[17:32] Nanako**
Working with people who I don't know.
**[17:35] Kyoya**
Why not just jump in and give it a try?
**[17:37] Kyoya**
Like when you started uploading
your songs, remember?
**[17:41] Nanako**
You were the one who handled that, though.
**[17:47] Nanako**
Right? So... could you maybe...
**[17:54] Kyoya**
Nanako, try and do it on your own, okay?
**[17:59] Nanako**
Kyoya, you're so mean!
**[18:01] Kyoya**
* Nanako was on the verge*
* of becoming dependent on me.*
**[18:01] Nanako**
What's the big deal?!
It wouldn't kill you to help!
**[18:05] Kyoya**
*I'm not sure how much it'll help,*
**[18:08] Kyoya**
* but I'm going to try and*
* prioritize her independence.*
**[18:12] Kyoya**
*And hopefully, one day, I'll meet N@NA.*
**[18:19] Kyoya**
*As for Shinoaki...*
**[18:21] Shino**
Just don't feel like drawing.

**[18:32] Shino**
Soy sauce?
**[18:34] Kyoya**
* Maybe it's burnout from*
* having just finished a game.*
**[18:38] Kyoya**
* Or maybe a side effect from*
* having compromised so much.*
**[18:43] Kyoya**
* Shinoaki, who used to*
* be so excited about art,*
**[18:46] Kyoya**
*is keeping her distance from it now.*
**[18:53] (Flashback) Kyoya**
There's just... nothing
I want to draw anymore.
**[18:58] Kyoya**
* I need to help her find*
* a way through this.*
**[19:03] Kyoya**
*But what would work?*

Ow, ow...

S-S-Sorry! Sorry! I'm okay!
**[19:52] Kyoya**
Let me help you.
**[20:01] Kyoya**
*Wow.*
**[20:10] Kyoya**
Was that...
**[20:11] Minori**
I-It's nothing! Really.

*Everything has some purpose.*
**[20:53] Kyoya**

Okay!

*I started taking action.*

*I'll create an opportunity for Shinoaki,*

Let's say that I was in a lot of trouble,

**[22:43] Kyoya**
Would you be willing to put
everything else aside and help me?

**[23:03] Eiko**
Then I guess I'd be willing to offer it.
