[00:04] Kenichi
    C'mon, now, don't ignore me!
[00:08] Subaru
    Hey!
[00:09] Subaru
    Ow!
[00:11] Subaru
    Ow! That hurts!
[00:11] Kenichi
    What's the problem? You train every day,
    and you still lose to one middle-aged man?
[00:16] Subaru
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[00:16] Kenichi
    Whoa, wait a—
[00:17] Kenichi
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[00:18] Subaru
    Letting me get a counter in?
    You're getting old, Pops!
[00:21] Subaru
    I'm about to win by decisio—
[00:22] Subaru
    Hey, wait! No fair flipping me back over!
[00:24] Kenichi
    Well? Ready to give up?
[00:26] Subaru
    Ow, ow!
[00:28] Nahoko
    Excuse me, you two...
[00:32] Nahoko
    I'm getting hungry. I'd like
     to eat breakfast now.
[00:37] Kenichi
    Whoops...
[00:38] Kenichi
    Sorry about that.
[00:40] Kenichi
    I got a little carried away with
    my one-on-one time with Subaru.
[00:42] Kenichi
    You could've started without us.
[00:44] Nahoko
    Why should I do that when the
    whole family could eat together?
[00:48] Kenichi
    Yeah, you're right. That's my wife for ya!
[00:51] Nahoko
    Come on, Subaru. Time for breakfast.
[00:54] Nahoko
    I put in extra effort today, just for you.
[01:01] Kenichi
    Wow, Subaru. Your bowl's a forest of green.
[01:05] Subaru
    Mom, why did you give me so many peas?
[01:09] Nahoko
    It's not good to be picky about your food.
[01:12] Nahoko
    I thought this might be a good
    chance to get you over that.
[01:15] Subaru
    What "chance"? This isn't a
    special day or anything.
[01:17] Kenichi
    Very naïve of you, Subaru. Today is...
[01:20] Kenichi
    No, every moment of every day is
    a precious, once-in-a-lifetime moment.
[01:25] Subaru
    That's irrelevant right now.
[01:27] Subaru
    I'm digging in.
[01:28] Nahoko
    Yes, go right ahead.
[01:31] Subaru
    I've always wondered... Why the
    mix of Japanese and Western dishes?
[01:35] Nahoko
    My favorite thing to put in
    miso soup is wakame seaweed,
[01:37] Nahoko
    and I like strawberry jam on my toast.
[01:42] Subaru
    What are we gonna do with this?
    We just keep passing it around...
[01:46] Nahoko
    Well, I hate peas, you know.
[01:48] Subaru
    And you were trying to make
    me stop being picky?!
[01:51] Nahoko
    Don't get the wrong idea, though.
[01:53] Nahoko
    I hate all foods that are tiny and round.
[01:56] Subaru
    I didn't have any wrong ideas!
[01:58] Subaru
    If anything, I have even more doubts now!
[02:00] Subaru
    Okay, then. The husband should
    take responsibility for his wife.
[02:04] Kenichi
    Subaru, families that get along as
    well as ours are rare these days.
[02:09] Kenichi
    In other words, I hate the same
    things you and your mother hate!
[02:13] Subaru
    This forest of green was never
    going to make anyone happy, then!
[02:16] Kenichi
    I'll just make it into something
    we all love: pilaf!
[02:20] Nahoko
    I can't even stand to look at it.
[02:27] Kenichi
    Subaru.
[02:28] Subaru
    Right.
[02:31] Subaru
    Thank you for breakfast.
[02:33] Kenichi
    My pleasure!
[02:34] Kenichi
    Now, let's get the dishes to the sink,
[02:35] Kenichi
    and we'll race to school to help us digest!
[02:38] Subaru
    Quit making this a scenario that
    ends with me going to school.
[02:43] Subaru
    I'm sleeping in until noon.
[02:45] Subaru
    Ow...
[02:47] Both
    Subaru?
[02:48] Subaru
    It's nothing.
[02:56] Subaru
    What the hell? Why?
[02:58] Subaru
    Why do I suddenly feel so weird?
[03:10] Subaru
    Once it's past eight...
[03:29] Subaru
    I won't make it to school on time now.
[03:32] Subaru
    So there's no other choice.
    I have no choice...
[03:37] Subaru
    Why?
[03:38] Subaru
    That normally calms it down...
[03:45] Kenichi
    Mind if I come in, Subaru?
[03:48] Subaru
    What's the point of asking if you
    come in before I can answer?
[03:53] Kenichi
    There's no need for that between
    two guys as tight as you and—
[03:57] Kenichi
    Wait, I guess there is!
[03:58] Kenichi
    Sorry, I forgot you're a teenager!
    I'll leave and come back!
[04:01] Subaru
    I wasn't doing anything!
[04:03] Subaru
    So?
[04:06] Kenichi
    Well...
[04:08] Kenichi
    Subaru, is there a girl you like?
[04:11] Subaru
    Are we in middle school now?!
[04:13] Kenichi
    You're no fun.
[04:14] Subaru
    So, what do you actually want?
[04:17] Kenichi
    Oh, well, you know...
[04:19] Kenichi
    The weather's nice, so...
[04:22] Kenichi
    Let's go have a nice father-son talk outside.
[04:33] Kenichi
    Man, what's with everyone?
[04:36] Kenichi
    They happen to see me on my day off,
    and they all assume I lost my job.
[04:42] Kenichi
    Hey, don't make such a gloomy face
    on a nice morning like this.
[04:46] Subaru
    It's your own fault for dragging me out here.
[04:49] Kenichi
    Don't act all suspicious.
[04:51] Kenichi
    I'm not gonna tell you anything scary.
[04:53] Kenichi
    It's more of a father-son subject.
[04:55] Subaru
    A father-son subject, huh?
[04:58] Old
    Ken, my boy! Haven't seen you in a while.
[05:01] Old
    Oh? Don't tell me that's...
[05:04] Kenichi
    Yep, that's right. He's my son...
[05:06] Kenichi
    Actually, I should say he's my pride and joy.
[05:10] Old
    Ah, so I was right.
[05:13] Old
    He looks so much like you
    did when you were...
[05:16] Old
    Actually, no, you don't.
    Do you take after your mom?
[05:20] Subaru
    Uh... Well, a lot of people say I do.
[05:23] Subaru
    My eyes, especially.
[05:25] Old
    I see.
[05:26] Old
    Hard to believe you're old enough
    to have a son that age.
[05:32] Old
    Come to think of it...
[05:33] Old
    Today's Monday, isn't it?
[05:35] Old
    What are you doing out here
    with your dad at this hour?
[05:42] Subaru
    Sorry...
[05:45] Kenichi
    Hey, Subaru!
[05:48] Kenichi
    Sorry about that. We'll stop by
    again when we have time to chat.
[05:52] Old
    Ah, sure. Looks like I said
    something I shouldn't have.
[05:56] Old
    Apologize to him for me, would you?
[05:58] Kenichi
    You have nothing to apologize for.
[06:01] Kenichi
    It's up to him to deal with it himself now.
[06:06] Kenichi
    Here ya go. A tasty, ice-cold
    cola packed with my love.
[06:15] Subaru
    Don't cluck your tongue at me.
    I know how you think.
[06:18] Subaru
    Ugh, my hand's all sticky now.
[06:22] Kenichi
    Well? Feel better now?
[06:25] Subaru
    Hard to say.
[06:27] Kenichi
    You look like you're really not feeling well.
[06:30] Kenichi
    Want to go home? I can carry you on my back.
[06:33] Subaru
    You don't have to do that,
    and I don't need to go home.
[06:37] Subaru
    It'd be the same at home, anyway.
[06:46] Kenichi
    Listen, Subaru... Not to
    change the subject, but...
[06:51] Kenichi
    Is there a girl you like?
[06:57] Emilia
    Subaru...
[06:59] Subaru
    Huh?
[07:03] Kenichi
    What's up?
[07:05] Subaru
    Wait... did someone just say my name?
[07:08] Kenichi
    No...
[07:12] Subaru
    What the heck was that, then?
[07:16] Kenichi
    So? Is there a girl you like?
[07:19] Subaru
    Why do you keep asking that?
[07:21] Subaru
    You can stop beating around the bush.
[07:23] Subaru
    Just come out and ask me
    why I didn't go to school.
[07:28] Kenichi
    And here I was trying to
    be considerate for once.
[07:32] Kenichi
    Well, that is what I wanted to
    talk about, so you're not wrong.
[07:40] Subaru
    I know it's disrespectful to you and Mom.
[07:43] Kenichi
    There's no need to feel that way.
[07:45] Kenichi
    I do have the vague sense that
    you have your reasons for it,
[07:49] Kenichi
    and even if you don't,
[07:50] ---
    I'm prepared to brush it off as
    something I can't do anything about.
[07:59] Kenichi
    I don't know about the rest of the world,
[08:02] Kenichi
    but I personally don't believe
    school is everything.
[08:05] Kenichi
    I mean, what's the big deal?
[08:08] Subaru
    Why?
[08:12] Subaru
    Why did you suddenly decide
    to tell me all this today?
[08:16] Subaru
    It's not like today is a
    special day or anything.
[08:20] Subaru
    It's just... Peas Day.
[08:25] Kenichi
    Well, your bowl was certainly full of them.
[08:30] Kenichi
    I'm not sure why.
[08:32] Kenichi
    I guess the look on your face this
    morning seemed a little better.
[08:37] Subaru
    My face... looked better?
[08:39] Kenichi
    The look on your face.
[08:41] Kenichi
    Your face still looks like a bad guy's,
[08:43] ---
    with those mean eyes you got from your mom.
[08:47] Subaru
    Nothing about me has changed!
[08:50] Subaru
    That's how I want it, and that's how I'll—
[08:55] Kenichi
    Hey, you look like you're really in pain!
[08:58] Kenichi
    Are you okay?
[09:02] Kenichi
    Subaru...
[09:07] Emilia
    It's been rough, hasn't it?
[09:26] Emilia
    Thank you, Subaru.
[09:29] Subaru
    Who are you?
[09:30] Emilia
    For saving me.
[09:32] Subaru
    What?
[09:33] Subaru
    What? What? What's going on?
[09:35] Emilia
    Subaru...
[09:35] Subaru
    Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
[09:38] Emilia
    May the blessing of the spirits be with you.
[09:38] Subaru
    Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
[09:45] Emilia
    I think you're much more amazing than me.
[09:51] Emilia
    Why do you always save me?
[10:08] Subaru
    Sorry. I'm fine now.
[10:11] Kenichi
    Really? Well, as long as you feel better.
[10:14] Kenichi
    But don't worry me so much, you hear?
[10:16] Subaru
    Sure. Sorry.
[10:20] Subaru
    And... about what you asked me...
[10:26] Subaru
    There is a girl I like.
[10:29] Subaru
    So... I'll be okay now.
[10:40] Subaru
    I remember everything now.
[10:42] Subaru
    What I was so freaked out about,
    and why I was cowering in fear.
[10:47] Subaru
    No, that's not right. I already knew all of it.
[10:51] Subaru
    I knew, but I was pretending
    I didn't see it.
[10:55] Subaru
    I wanted you and Mom to call out my weakness,
     since I was the only one in pain.
[11:02] Subaru
    To tell me I'm an unbelievably
    small person,
[11:05] ---
    an idiot who's never good enough,
[11:06] Subaru
    and a self-righteous scumbag.
[11:08] Subaru
    I wanted you both to beat that
    into me and make me give up.
[11:13] Subaru
    I've always had this way of somehow managing
    to squeak through anything, you know?
[11:19] Subaru
    Like in schoolwork and sports.
[11:25] People
    You're definitely his kid!
[11:28] Subaru
    But... I don't know when it started...
[11:31] Subaru
    But I was no longer the best at
    things I used to be the best at.
[11:36] Subaru
    What used to be my "best"
    grew smaller and smaller.
[11:42] Subaru
    I started thinking that it all made no sense.
[11:46] Subaru
    Working my hardest at school seemed stupid.
[11:49] Subaru
    And why is being a fast runner
    something to brag about?
[11:52] Subaru
    Making everyone laugh seemed way cooler to me,
[11:56] Subaru
    and I was way better at it.
[11:58] People
    You're definitely his kid!
[12:01] Subaru
    But if I kept that up, it became apparent
[12:04] Subaru
    that I'd always have to do
    something bigger the next time.
[12:07] Subaru
    I didn't want people to think I was boring.
[12:10] Subaru
    I thought I could do anything.
[12:13] Subaru
    I made everyone think I would do anything.
[12:16] Subaru
    And so the things I did got dumber and dumber.
[12:20] Subaru
    I was just out of control,
    not thinking about anything.
[12:27] Subaru
    I knew they were a bunch of idiots.
[12:30] Subaru
    I wanted them to think
[12:31] Subaru
    that they couldn't have this much
    fun if they weren't with me.
[12:34] Subaru
    That they could regret whatever they wanted,
[12:36] Subaru
    as long as we spent the boring times
    doing pointless crap for fun.
[12:39] Subaru
    I decided I would set my sights higher.
[12:46] Subaru
    But the next thing I knew,
    I was looking around...
[12:50] Subaru
    And there was no one left but me.
[12:55] Subaru
    That's when I finally realized
[13:00] Subaru
    that there was nothing special about me at all.
[13:16] People
    You're definitely his kid!
[13:25] Subaru
    From then on, I just spent all
    my time trying not to stand out.
[13:31] Subaru
    That's how I got through middle school,
[13:34] Subaru
    then when I got into high school...
[13:38] Subaru
    I gotta say, I really blew
    my high school debut.
[13:41] Subaru
    But it was bound to happen.
[13:43] Subaru
    I'd never had any real
    relationships up to that point.
[13:47] Subaru
    High school wasn't gonna be any better.
[13:51] Subaru
    And then it occurred to me...
[13:55] Subaru
    I just... didn't want to go to school.
[14:02] Subaru
    It all just snowballed from there.
[14:05] Subaru
    One day a week of skipping school
    turned into one in every three days,
[14:08] Subaru
    then every other day...
[14:11] Subaru
    It didn't take even three months
    before I stopped going at all.
[14:17] Subaru
    But no matter how pathetic I was,
    you and Mom still treated me
[14:23] Subaru
    the same as always.
[14:25] Subaru
    That's what scared me most of all.
[14:28] Subaru
    I wanted you to say, "I don't love you."
[14:31] Subaru
    "I despise you."
[14:33] Subaru
    "You're not my son."
[14:37] Subaru
    I wanted you to tell me that and throw me out.
[14:41] Subaru
    I wanted you to make me give up.
[14:47] Subaru
    But...
[14:48] Rem
    It is easy to give up.
[14:51] Rem
    But it doesn't suit you.
[14:58] Rem
    I love you, Subaru-kun.
[15:03] Rem
    Let's start here,
[15:05] Rem
    from square one.
[15:07] Rem
    No...
[15:08] Rem
    From zero!
[15:10] Rem
    Right!
[15:11] Rem
    My hero is the greatest in the world!
[15:19] Kenichi
    Subaru...
[15:25] Kenichi
    Father Headbutt!
[15:28] Kenichi
    See that, Subaru? That was my
    most loving Father Headbutt,
[15:32] Kenichi
    packed with all my rage!
[15:32] Subaru
    That was an axe kick!
    Nothing about that was a headbutt!
[15:35] Kenichi
    My leg goes up pretty high, huh?
[15:38] Kenichi
    But you know, you're pretty dumb, aren't ya?
[15:41] Subaru
    H-Huh?
[15:42] Kenichi
    A lot about what you said bothers me,
     but you know what's the worst?
[15:46] Kenichi
    You wanted me to hate you,
[15:47] ---
    so you tried to achieve that by
    playing hooky? Are you dumb?!
[15:50] Kenichi
    And if you want to get me to throw
    you out, pick a more active method!
[15:53] Kenichi
    Who would ditch their own kid just
    because he retreated into his shell?!
[15:57] Kenichi
    You're so twisted, you're on the
    fast track to being an idiot!
[15:59] Kenichi
    I'd be glad to set you straight
    by force if you want...
[16:04] Kenichi
    But it looks like you've already
     been knocked down
[16:06] ---
    and stood yourself back up, so there's no need.
[16:13] Subaru
    Remember what I said? I found a girl I like.
[16:17] Subaru
    Plus, there's a girl who said she
    loved me, despite the way I am.
[16:23] Subaru
    And neither one of them knows
    I'm the son of Natsuki Kenichi.
[16:29] Subaru
    In their eyes, I'm just Natsuki Subaru.
[16:33] Subaru
    No, in all of their eyes...
[16:37] Subaru
    I was Natsuki Subaru.
[16:40] Subaru
    I finally figured that out.
[16:42] Kenichi
    Well, it took you long enough.
[16:45] Kenichi
    You're just now coming around
    to saying all this?
[16:47] ---
    I should whack you.
[16:48] Subaru
    You just whacked my skull
    with your heel a second ago!
[16:51] Kenichi
    Sorry about that.
[16:53] Kenichi
    Still, this was my fault for not realizing
    that you thought so highly of your awesome dad.
[16:59] Kenichi
    Sorry I was just too big a part of your life!
[17:02] Subaru
    I really don't want to admit
    that's true, even though it is!
[17:05] Kenichi
    But that took a little of the
    weight off my shoulders.
[17:09] Kenichi
    Now all that's left to talk about is
    the future. We've only just begun.
[17:12] Subaru
    Oh, sure. Um, sorry for putting you through—
[17:15] Kenichi
    If you feel sorry, all you gotta do
[17:18] Kenichi
    is take your time making it up to us.
[17:22] Kenichi
    Take good care of your mom
    and me when we're old,
[17:28] Kenichi
    my eldest son.
[17:40] Subaru
    I-I'm sorry.
[17:43] Kenichi
    Subaru?
[17:44] Subaru
    I'm sorry.
[17:45] Subaru
    I... I...
[17:49] Subaru
    I... can't...
[17:50] Subaru
    I-I'm sorry.
[17:54] Subaru
    I won't be able to make anything up to
    you before... I never see you again.
[18:00] Subaru
    I'm sorry.
[18:01] Subaru
    I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
[18:04] Subaru
    I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry.
[18:08] Subaru
    I'm so sorry!
[18:09] Kenichi
    No matter how much time passes,
    you're still such a handful, son.
[18:13] Kenichi
    Sheesh.
[18:23] Kenichi
    I still feel like walking a little more,
[18:26] Kenichi
    so I'm going to take the long way home.
[18:29] Subaru
    Okay. I'll head home myself, then.
[18:37] Kenichi
    Hey, Subaru...
[18:39] Kenichi
    I'm sure you have a lot going on, too,
[18:42] Kenichi
    so there's only one thing I want to say.
[18:46] Kenichi
    Give it your all!
[18:48] Kenichi
    I'm expecting the best from you, son.
[18:51] Subaru
    Yeah. You can count on me, Dad.
[18:56] Subaru
    My name is Natsuki Subaru,
[18:58] Subaru
    son of Natsuki Kenichi!
[19:01] Subaru
    So I can do anything,
    and I will do anything!
[19:05] Subaru
    'Cause your son's just that awesome!
[19:08] Kenichi
    I know that. You're half me, after all.
[19:24] Subaru
    The student Natsuki Subaru is complete.
[19:27] Subaru
    What's it been, about three months?
[19:39] Nahoko
    Oh? Are you nervous?
[19:42] Nahoko
    Want to eat some mayonnaise with me?
SIGN    Su
[19:45] Subaru
    I'm not in the mood right now.
[19:47] Nahoko
    I guess not.
[19:49] Nahoko
    You don't actually like mayonnaise
    that much, after all.
[19:53] Subaru
    Huh?
[19:54] Nahoko
    Your dad and I both like it, so you
     were just sharing it with us.
[19:59] Subaru
    Wh-What gives you that—
[20:01] Nahoko
    Then which would you choose:
    the world or mayonnaise?
[20:05] Subaru
    The world, obviously!
[20:06] Nahoko
    You see?
[20:07] Subaru
    Why do you look so self-satisfied?!
[20:09] Subaru
    Anyone who picks mayonnaise doesn't
    do it because they like mayonnaise!
[20:12] ---
    They just hate the world!
[20:15] Nahoko
    That's true.
[20:17] Subaru
    Well, I'm gonna head out.
[20:20] Nahoko
    You're leaving for school now?
[20:22] Nahoko
    I'm glad, but... won't that
    draw some negative attention?
[20:26] Nahoko
    Why not put off until tomorrow
    what can wait until tomorrow?
[20:28] Subaru
    Your son finally found the motivation
    to do something! Don't ruin this!
[20:32] Subaru
    I'm already too hard on everyone
    else and easy on me as it is!
[20:35] Nahoko
    Well, if you really were like that,
[20:38] Nahoko
    it would've meant a lot less trouble for me.
[20:48] Subaru
    And why are you following me?!
[20:51] Subaru
    Walking to school with my
    mom when I'm trying to
[20:54] ---
    get over being a shut-in is
    worse than a game penalty!
[20:56] Nahoko
    I'm not going all the way to school.
[20:58] Nahoko
    Just to the convenience store.
[21:01] Nahoko
    It's been a long time since you
    and I walked together, hasn't it?
[21:05] Subaru
    Has it?
[21:07] Nahoko
    What did you and your dad talk about?
[21:09] Subaru
    Nothing special.
[21:11] Subaru
    Just reliving the past and stuff.
[21:13] Nahoko
    Hmm...
[21:15] Nahoko
    And reliving the past made
    you want to go to school?
[21:18] Subaru
    Well, I guess you could say that.
[21:21] Subaru
    It gave me a chance to look
    back on some things, so...
[21:24] Nahoko
    So you've given up on trying to be just
    like your father in everything?
[21:31] Nahoko
    You were always a hard worker,
[21:33] Nahoko
    and you could do a lot of
    things with minimal effort.
[21:36] Nahoko
    Since your dad was so blindly
    into lots of different things,
[21:38] Nahoko
    you had quite a few opportunities.
[21:41] Nahoko
    Exhausting, isn't it?
[21:43] Subaru
    Mom, just how much do you...
[21:49] Nahoko
    You know, Subaru,
[21:51] Nahoko
    parents watch their kids much
    more closely than they realize.
[21:56] Nahoko
    I'm always watching you, too, Subaru.
[22:00] Nahoko
    I gave you a suppository
    once when you were little,
[22:04] Nahoko
    so I've even seen your butthole.
[22:06] Subaru
    Um, sorry, but this was a
    nice conversation up until now.
[22:09] Subaru
    You don't have to say everything you think.
[22:11] Nahoko
    The mayonnaise, too, and your
    reasons for not going to school...
[22:15] Nahoko
    If there was anything I could have
    done for you, I gladly would have,
[22:20] Nahoko
    but it seemed like nothing
    I tried would have worked out.
[22:25] Nahoko
    But...
[22:26] Nahoko
    Someone who isn't me or your father
    did something for you, didn't they?
[22:32] Nahoko
    I think that's a wonderful thing.
[22:35] Nahoko
    We should be grateful to them.
[22:39] Subaru
    Yeah, that's right.
[22:42] Subaru
    That's why I'm able to walk this path right now.
[22:44] Subaru
    They're really good people.
[22:47] Subaru
    I don't deserve them.
[22:48] Nahoko
    But you won't give them to anyone else, right?
[22:51] Subaru
    You better believe it!
[22:53] Subaru
    It's not about whether I'm
    good enough for them or not.
[22:56] Subaru
    If I had to give them away, I'd make them mine,
     even if I don't deserve them!
[23:00] Subaru
    I'd just make myself worthy of them after.
[23:03] Nahoko
    Uh-huh...
[23:06] Nahoko
    You're definitely his kid.
[23:14] Subaru
    Am I... doing all right?
[23:19] Subaru
    Am I living up to the expectations for his kid?
[23:24] Nahoko
    You don't have to worry.
[23:26] Nahoko
    Half of you is me, after all.
[23:31] Nahoko
    So if you become even half as cool as
    your dad, you've filled your quota.
[23:36] Nahoko
    Get half as cool as your dad,
[23:40] Nahoko
    and the other half can just be Subaru.
[23:45] Nahoko
    That means you can just do
    your best in your own way.
[23:50] Nahoko
    At least, that's what I think.
[23:54] Subaru
    In my own way... huh?
[23:57] Nahoko
    That's right.
[23:58] Nahoko
    You can want to be like your mom and dad
[24:01] Nahoko
    as you become Subaru.
[24:05] Nahoko
    Well, I'm heading this way.
    Will you be okay on your own?
[24:09] Subaru
    I'll be fine.
[24:11] Nahoko
    I see.
[24:13] Nahoko
    Well, give it your all, then.
[24:24] Subaru
    Mom!
[24:27] Subaru
    There's something I need to do!
[24:30] Subaru
    So... I won't see you for a long time!
[24:33] Subaru
    It's kinda far away... so I don't
    think I'll be able to keep in touch!
[24:37] Subaru
    But no matter where I am...
[24:40] Subaru
    I'll be thinking of you guys!
[24:44] Subaru
    And I'll never... forget you.
[24:47] Nahoko
    Subaru...
[24:48] Subaru
    I'll never not want to be your kid anymore...
[24:53] Subaru
    And I don't want to do anything
    that would make me hate myself!
[24:59] Nahoko
    Subaru...
[25:01] Nahoko
    It's okay.
[25:04] Nahoko
    I know what you're trying to say.
[25:09] Subaru
    You... do?
[25:12] ---
    How?
[25:13] Nahoko
    Well, because I'm your mother, of course.
[25:29] Subaru
    I'm sorry, Mom.
[25:32] Subaru
    I was... never able to do anything
    for you guys, and now...
[25:37] Nahoko
    We didn't have you because we wanted
    you to do something for us.
[25:42] Nahoko
    We had you because we wanted
    to do something for you.
[25:46] Subaru
    I'm... I'm acting like a little kid...
[25:50] Subaru
    Pathetic...
[25:51] Nahoko
    There's nothing wrong with crying.
[25:54] Nahoko
    You can cry all you want.
[25:56] Nahoko
    As long as you can smile when
    you're done, everything will be fine.
[26:00] Nahoko
    What matters isn't how you start
    or what happens in the middle.
[26:04] Nahoko
    It's how it ends.
[26:09] Subaru
    You mean as long as things turn out
    okay in the end, nothing else matters?
[26:13] Nahoko
    That's not how I meant for you to take it.
[26:17] Nahoko
    It's a homework assignment from me.
[26:25] Subaru
    Well... I'm going, then.
[26:37] Nahoko
    Oh, that's right!
[26:39] Nahoko
    Subaru, Subaru! I almost forgot!
[26:45] Nahoko
    Take care.
[26:57] Nahoko
    Take care.
[27:19] Subaru
    I will!
[27:34] Subaru
    Okay.
[27:42] Echidna
    You arrived much earlier than I expected.
[27:46] Echidna
    Welcome.
[27:48] Echidna
    So you've had some time to confront your past.
[27:51] Echidna
    What did it do for you?
