Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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...

[15:29] 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.
