[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

[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.
