[00:13] Maki
    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!
[00:21] Kyoya
    I guess this isn't a dream after all.
SIGN    Sunday, May 13th 2018 (Heisei 30)
[00:27] Kyoya
    When I woke up this morning,
    I found myself in the year 2018.
[00:32] Kyoya
    And I'm not sure how,
    but I'm married to Shinoaki,
[00:36] Kyoya
    and we have a daughter named Maki.
[00:39] Kyoya
    Naturally, I have no memory
    of anything in between.
[00:42] Kyoya
    It was weird enough that
    I leaped ten years back
[00:47] Kyoya
    when I was originally from 2016...
[00:49] Kyoya
    But why am I in 2018 now?
[00:52] Kyoya
    Plus, this situation...
[00:55] Shinoaki
    Honey!
[00:57] Kyoya
    Uh, wh-what is it?
[00:59] Shinoaki
    What's wrong?
[01:00] Shinoaki
    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?
[01:16] Kyoya
    So now I'm a dad all of a sudden, huh?
[01:18] Kyoya
    It doesn't feel real at all.
SIGN    Sunday, May 13th 2018 (Heisei 30)
[01:21] Kyoya
    But for now, I need to confirm
    what's going on around me.
[01:26] Kyoya
    It looks like we currently
    live in Noborito, not Osaka.
[01:31] Kyoya
    It's a town between the prefectures
    of Kanagawa and Tokyo.
[01:34] Kyoya
    And after graduating from Oonaka Arts,
[01:37] Kyoya
    I've been working at a game
    company called Attraction Point.
[01:43] Kyoya
    I hope there's someone
    I can talk to in here.

    Hello?
[01:55] Kyoya
    Hey, Kawasegawa?
[01:57] Kyoya
    I'm not sure if it's been a while...
[01:59] Eiko
    Perfect timing.
[02:01] Eiko
    Remember what I told you about last month?
[02:03] Eiko
    It's gone as poorly as I thought.
[02:04] Kyoya
    U-Uh, actually, Kawasegawa—
[02:06] Eiko
    Can you come in a little early tomorrow?
[02:09] Eiko
    About 30 minutes before you're scheduled?
[02:10] Eiko
    I'll have one of my people
    come get you. See you then.
[02:13] Kyoya
    Uh, Kawasegawa?

[04:10] Kyoya
    I was kinda hoping I'd open my eyes
    and be back in 2007.
[04:14] Kyoya
    But no such luck.
[04:16] Kyoya
    Being married all of a sudden...
[04:40] Shinoaki
    What?
[04:41] Kyoya
    Oh, it's nothing!
[04:43] Maki
    Good morning, Mommy!
[04:45] Shinoaki
    Good morning.
[04:46] Maki
    Good morning, Daddy!
[04:49] Kyoya
    Yeah. Good morning, Maki.
[04:51] Shinoaki
    Here's your lunch!
[04:54] Kyoya
    Okay. Thanks.
[04:56] Kyoya
    Well...
[04:57] Both
    Have a good day!
[05:00] Kyoya
    Right! I'm off.
[05:04] Kyoya
    That said...
[05:05] Kyoya
    The fact that I have no memory of this life
    means it'll be easy to screw something up.
[05:10] Kyoya
    Will I be able to pull this off?
[05:21] Kyoya
    Were crowded trains always this packed?
[05:25] Kyoya
    Attraction Point was a famous game company
[05:28] Kyoya
    in the 2016 I originally came from, too.
[05:32] Kyoya
    They weren't considered
    the top of the industry,
[05:34] Kyoya
    but they managed to turn out hits at a regular
    enough pace... a solid, mid-tier developer.
[05:40] Kyoya
    This is it.
[05:44] Kyoya
    What exactly does "Development Manager
    of Entertainment Group Section 3" even do?
[05:52] Kyoya
    Good morn—
[05:54] Kyoya
    Maybe I shouldn't have taken Sunday off?
[06:02] Kyoya
    Uh, my desk is...
[06:06] 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

[06:22] Morishita
    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.

[12:35] 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
    Sorry, there's something
    that needs a response ASAP.
[16:19] Eiko
    I'm going to have to cut out early.
[16:21] Kyoya
    Oh, okay.
[16:25] Kyoya
    These changes have to
    be the result of my enrollment
[16:28] Kyoya
    into Oonaka University for the Arts in 2006.
[16:31] Kyoya
    There's no other explanation.

    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.
