**[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.*
***SIGN*** April 14th, 2018
***SIGN*** Kawasegawa Eiko
***SIGN*** Call
**[01:47] Kyoya**
*Last contact was a month ago.*
**[01:48] Kyoya**
*No idea what our relationship is, but...*
**[01:54] Eiko**
*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?
**[02:16] Kyoya**
But I'm the one who wanted to
ask *her* for help.

**[02:20] Kyoya**
* I guess I'm working at the same company*
* as Kawasegawa in this world, too.*
**[02:25] Kyoya**
*That's at least something to go on.*
**[02:29] Kyoya**
*It's like one step forward.*

Okay, okay...

**[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
Entertainment Group Section 3
**[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.*
**[12:31] 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**
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.*
**[16:33] Kyoya**
* If this entire world is an extension*
* of what happened back then...*

* 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.*
