[00:01] ---
    One spring day, I had
    an encounter with destiny
[00:04] ---
    and remembered
    a dream I'd always had.
[00:06] ---
    To create a dating sim that makes
    people laugh, and touch their hearts.
[00:10] ---
    And to create a main heroine
    that would make everyone's heart sing!
[00:14] ---
    Yes, just like that girl did!
[00:17] ---
    The response from those around me
    to me and this dream was chilly at first.
[00:21] ---
    However, by not giving up and
    telling them of my dream,
[00:24] ---
    these newfound comrades
    returned one by one!
[00:28] ---
    And, having had a dramatic
    reunion with that girl,
[00:31] ---
    I have taken the first steps
    to realizing that grand dream!
[00:34] ---
    Don't drop huge lies in
     the middle of an episode recap!
[00:37] ---
    And don't you blow off anime tropes
[00:40] ---
    by having a character
    interrupt the voiceover!
SIGN    #2 "A Girlfriend Without a Raised Flag"
[02:17] ---
    Say, Kato...
[02:19] ---
    Yes?
[02:20] ---
    I never really noticed it before,
    but you're actually pretty cute.
[02:24] ---
    Thanks, but what you never
    noticed isn't that I was cute,
[02:29] ---
    but that I even existed.
[02:31] ---
    I guess.
[02:33] ---
    Toyogasaki Academy,
    Class 2B, Megumi Kato.
[02:36] ---
    In the same class
    as me since first year.
[02:38] ---
    A girl who's always been nearby.
[02:39] ---
    Thank you for waiting!
[02:41] ---
    The layered cheesecake, please.
[02:41] ---
    Now that I look at her, she's definitely cute.
[02:43] ---
    Coming right up!
[02:44] ---
    She has classic features.
[02:46] ---
    She's not too tall or too short.
[02:48] ---
    Her skin is reasonably smooth.
[02:50] ---
    She curves out where
    she's supposed to curve out.
[02:52] ---
    And where she's supposed to
    curve in, she curves in, too.
[02:54] ---
    I mean, it's only natural
    to think she's cute.
[02:57] ---
    After all, I felt the hand of
    fate at work with this girl.
[03:02] ---
    And yet...
[03:03] ---
    I didn't order this!
[03:04] ---
    what's up with this
    total lack of presence?
[03:06] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[03:08] ---
    I'll go ahead and dig in, then.
[03:10] ---
    Sorry for making you treat me.
[03:12] ---
    No, I should apologize for
    asking you out so suddenly.
[03:15] ---
    It's okay, I didn't have anything
    in particular planned today.
[03:18] ---
    That reminds me,
    what happened to that hat?
[03:21] ---
    Oh, I gave it to a relative.
[03:25] ---
    My cousin was visiting, and she liked it,
[03:27] ---
    so I gave it to her as
    a souvenir before she left.
[03:31] ---
    So our fateful encounter is worth
    less than familial obligations?
[03:34] ---
    Excuse me?
[03:35] ---
    No, I was just thinking, "Boy,
    that sure was a coincidence that day!"
[03:39] ---
    If you had known I existed
    like I knew you did,
[03:42] ---
    I suppose that might
    count as a coincidence.
[03:44] ---
    Gosh no, you just have
    one heck of a memory!
[03:47] ---
    You must, to have remembered
    a unremarkable otaku like me!
[03:50] ---
    You're an otaku, I'll give you that,
[03:53] ---
    but don't call yourself unremarkable.
[03:55] ---
    Why not? There's not a single
    thing about me that stands out.
[03:59] ---
    You're one of the top three
    celebrities at our school.
[04:05] ---
    Come again?
[04:07] ---
    You got light novels
    added to the library
[04:09] ---
    and you hold anime film
    screenings at the school festival.
[04:11] ---
    There isn't a student at our school
    who doesn't know the name Tomoya Aki.
[04:15] ---
    How can that be?
[04:17] ---
    Even now, with the otaku population
    having climbed as high as it has,
[04:20] ---
    the eyes of society are still
    on us, and not in a good way!
[04:24] ---
    I wasn't talking about
    otaku in general.
[04:28] ---
    I had no idea! Am I
    really that well known?
[04:31] ---
    But I'm the opposite of you.
[04:34] ---
    I'm totally boring.
[04:36] ---
    Boring... you say?
[04:37] ---
    Look, I didn't order this.
[04:38] ---
    My grades aren't particularly good,
[04:40] ---
    and I'm not in any clubs,
[04:41] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[04:42] ---
    and I've never served on
    any class committees.
[04:45] ---
    I don't have all that many friends,
[04:47] ---
    but I'm not particularly interested
    in trying to make more.
[04:51] ---
    So with all that, it's not all that surprising
    that you didn't remember me.
[04:55] ---
    You're wrong!
[04:56] ---
    Kato... You aren't boring!
[04:58] ---
    Hey, what's gotten into you?
[05:00] ---
    Don't call yourself boring!
[05:02] ---
    Stop pigeonholing yourself
    based on mistaken typecasting!
[05:06] ---
    Kato, I guarantee you this.
[05:08] ---
    You're anything but boring!
[05:10] ---
    Aki-kun...
[05:11] ---
    Your character is dialed way down!
[05:14] ---
    It's just because your character isn't
    fleshed out! You're unfinished!
[05:17] ---
    That's why you don't stand out!
[05:22] ---
    Excuse me.
[05:23] ---
    If I might interrupt?
[05:25] ---
    What is it?
[05:26] ---
    Isn't that worse than being boring?
[05:28] ---
    Of course it is.
[05:29] ---
    Don't underestimate
    boring characters, Kato.
[05:31] ---
    Not many characters are
    as well developed as they are.
[05:35] ---
    For instance, braids, glasses, freckles!
[05:39] ---
    If you combine such
    utterly boring elements,
[05:42] ---
    they become something
    charming that attracts people!
[05:44] ---
    The character becomes defined!
[05:46] ---
    Kato, do you have a trait of being
    unforgettable once someone sees you?
[05:51] ---
    You don't! You don't at all!
[05:54] ---
    You've been sorta cute all along.
[05:57] ---
    There's no disconnect there!
[05:59] ---
    So what are we gonna do
    about your lack of individuality?!
[06:02] ---
    Sorry, mind if I interrupt again?
[06:04] ---
    Now what?
[06:05] ---
    Setting aside the fact that
    you're not one to talk,
[06:05] ---
    How about now?!
[06:06] ---
    Still wrong.
[06:08] ---
    is my lack of individuality
    a problem for you?
[06:08] ---
    Um, maybe you should
    read back my order.
[06:12] ---
    It does! It's a huge problem!
[06:13] ---
    Kato, you have to be
    special or it won't work!
[06:15] ---
    Your personality traits
    have to be well defined!
[06:18] ---
    For what reason?
[06:19] ---
    Because you're the girl who was supposed
    to become my main heroine, that's why!
[06:24] ---
    Uh, was that you professing
    your feelings for me?
[06:28] ---
    Me? To you?
[06:29] ---
    Why would I do that?
[06:30] ---
    I thought so.
[06:31] ---
    You might be speaking to me,
[06:34] ---
    but it's felt like your eyes have been
    looking at something far away.
[06:39] ---
    Not far away in distance.
    In another set of dimensions.
[06:44] ---
    Kato...
[06:44] ---
    Give me back my creative urge.
[06:46] ---
    I'm sorry, I don't understand
    how you arrived at that.
[06:50] ---
    Give me back my dream girl!
    Er, my dream!
[06:55] ---
    Be that as it may, Aki-kun...
[06:56] ---
    Don't change the subject!
[06:58] ---
    Are you going out with
    the most beautiful girl in school?
[07:02] ---
    Two of them, no less?
[07:03] ---
    Kato, there were three errors
    in your statement just now.
[07:07] ---
    The first is "the most
    beautiful girl in school,"
[07:09] ---
    which is a dating sim trope
    that doesn't exist in reality.
[07:12] ---
    The second is having two of the "most beautiful girl in school" is contradictory.
[07:16] ---
    And the third is the wildly mistaken
    notion that a 2D-only otaku like me
[07:20] ---
    could possibly have a 3D girlfriend!
[07:22] ---
    What are those people
    outside the window, then?
[07:33] ---
    Excuse me? Aki-kun?
[07:35] ---
    What is it?
[07:36] ---
    What are Sawamura-san and
    Kasumigaoka-senpai doing here?
[07:39] ---
    Oh, if you know who they are,
    that simplifies things.
[07:43] ---
    Actually, I don't think there's a student
    at our school who doesn't know them.
[07:47] ---
    I mean, they're the top two
    beauties of Toyogasaki Academy.
[07:49] ---
    Please stop using dating sim
    terms with real people.
[07:52] ---
    Add you into the mix, and the three
    celebrities of Toyogasaki Academy are here.
[07:56] ---
    It's a small world!
[07:57] ---
    I'm just saying that
    I stick out like a sore thumb.
[08:01] ---
    Don't worry.
[08:03] ---
    They might look stuck up,
    but they're not so bad.
[08:06] ---
    Really?
[08:08] ---
    Yeah. In addition to having foul
    mouths and nasty personalities,
[08:11] ---
    they're both even bigger
    otaku than I am.
[08:14] ---
    Let me introduce you, Kato.
[08:16] ---
    These two ladies are the members
    of my game creation circle.
[08:19] ---
    Eriri Spencer Sawamura, my illustrator,
[08:22] ---
    and Utaha Kasumigaoka, my scenario writer.
[08:25] ---
    I'm sorry, I don't know
    what that means.
[08:27] ---
    I certainly don't understand
    this either, Mr. Ethical.
[08:31] ---
    Is this what a man says
    when he stands up one girl
[08:34] ---
    and has been on a date
    with another one?
[08:37] ---
    And this is Megumi Kato.
[08:39] ---
    The newest member of the circle,
[08:41] ---
    as well as the main heroine of
    the game we will make.
[08:44] ---
    Heroine?
[08:44] ---
    Not only is that news to me,
[08:47] ---
    am I imagining things, or are you
    giving me an inappropriate job title?
[08:51] ---
    Her?
[08:53] ---
    Um, Aki-kun...
[08:54] ---
    Sawamura-san is staring daggers at me.
[08:58] ---
    Don't sweat it, she's incredibly nearsighted.
[09:00] ---
    It just looks like she's giving the stink-eye.
[09:02] ---
    Actually, I have my contacts in at the moment.
[09:04] ---
    I went to bat for you, so don't blow it!
[09:09] ---
    So, you're Tomoya's...
[09:11] ---
    Um, his classmate.
[09:13] ---
    I really couldn't care less
    if you're his classmate,
[09:16] ---
    girlfriend, fellow otaku,
    or friend-with-benefits.
[09:19] ---
    Um, I think that last one
    is rather mean. To me.
[09:23] ---
    That's the real her. She just
    acts all innocent at school.
[09:27] ---
    Stop it!
[09:28] ---
    Don't talk about me like you know me!
[09:31] ---
    We've been acquaintances
    for years, that's all!
[09:33] ---
    Stop picking a fight with someone
    who's only been an acquaintance for years.
[09:37] ---
    What's with you?
[09:38] ---
    What's with you?
[09:39] ---
    Please stop embarrassing yourself, Sawamura-san.
[09:42] ---
    It's nobody's business but mine
    what I do to this jerk!
[09:42] ---
    Says the girl who's been
    embarrassing herself just as much...
[09:45] ---
    Won't it cause problems later
    if Toyogasaki students are here,
[09:48] ---
    Miss-not-so-innocent Sawamura-san?
[09:50] ---
    That's none of your business,
    Utaha Kasumigaoka!
[09:59] ---
    Enough, enough!
[10:03] ---
    Zero points yet again.
[10:04] ---
    This one's useless, too.
[10:07] ---
    It's still no good?
[10:08] ---
    This tells me nothing about what
    you want to show the players
[10:11] ---
    or what emotions you want to
    make them experience.
[10:14] ---
    Is it because you yourself still can't
    envision what you really want to make?
[10:19] ---
    Wow, you two are talking like creators.
[10:22] ---
    - Because we are!
    - Because we are!
[10:23] ---
    You two are actually friends.
    You are, aren't you?
[10:26] ---
    In any case,
[10:27] ---
    the way things stand now, you trying to
    make a game is a dream within a dream.
[10:31] ---
    What will it be?
[10:32] ---
    Rewrite it yet again?
[10:34] ---
    Or will you give up?
[10:36] ---
    I...
[10:37] ---
    I'd say it's about time to
    throw in the towel, don't you?
[10:40] ---
    True, it looks like Mr. Ethical is
    about to have his heart broken
[10:44] ---
    by the gap between ideals and reality.
[10:46] ---
    For one thing, pictures showing
    stuff like fateful encounters
[10:50] ---
    aren't the same as cute,
    shallow light novels.
[10:52] ---
    I have no intention of
    disagreeing with you on that score.
[10:56] ---
    If fate or coincidence played
    no role in encounters,
[10:58] ---
    the world's couples would be composed
    of nothing but childhood friends.
[11:02] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[11:04] ---
    That's not what I'm saying!
[11:07] ---
    I've decided.
[11:08] ---
    - On who?!
    - On who?!
[11:09] ---
    I won't give up yet.
[11:11] ---
    I'll rewrite it as many times as it takes
    to get your stamp of approval.
[11:15] ---
    That's what you meant.
[11:17] ---
    And one day,
[11:18] ---
    I'll create the ultimate dating sim
    that will make everyone's heart sing!
[11:22] ---
    Yes, and I'll turn Megumi Kato into a main
    heroine who will melt everyone's hearts!
[11:31] ---
    When did she...
[11:33] ---
    I didn't even see her get up...
[11:35] ---
    Dial down the stealth
    settings, would you?
[11:43] ---
    Sorry I'm late!
[11:45] ---
    Hey.
[11:46] ---
    I'm glad the weather
    turned out to be nice today.
[11:48] ---
    The forecast was on the fence,
    so I was worried.
[11:53] ---
    Oh, so this is where your house is.
[11:55] ---
    I pass by here sometimes.
[11:58] ---
    Kato, do you remember
    what kind of place this is?
[12:02] ---
    Sure, the locals call it Detective Hill.
    Because there's a detective agency over there.
[12:08] ---
    No, that's not what I meant...
[12:11] ---
    What do you think the point is
    of my choosing here to meet up?
[12:15] ---
    Isn't this near your house?
[12:16] ---
    No, that's not why!
    That's not why at all!
[12:20] ---
    It's far away?
[12:21] ---
    Oh, come on!
[12:23] ---
    This is the spot where
    you and I first met, remember?!
[12:26] ---
    Well, the first time we actually met was
    at the entrance ceremony a year ago.
[12:32] ---
    Anyway, do you fully comprehend
    what today's objective is?
[12:36] ---
    You said you had something to talk
    about, so I should come to your home.
[12:40] ---
    Starting right there, there's a problem!
[12:42] ---
    Which girl goes to the home of
    a guy she hardly knows?!
[12:45] ---
    Plus, don't get dressed up
    like a normal person would.
[12:49] ---
    Nobody's ever come to
    my place looking that normal.
[12:52] ---
    Right, I thought that was strange.
[12:54] ---
    I figured that you would
    never ask a real-life girl over.
[12:58] ---
    You thought it was strange
    and you still agreed to come?
[13:00] ---
    If a guy's an otaku, you'll go to
    his house without batting an eye?
[13:04] ---
    I certainly didn't expect
    to be lectured like this
[13:07] ---
    by the boy who asked me to come over.
[13:09] ---
    Listen, Kato.
[13:10] ---
    You've been living
    your life haphazardly,
[13:13] ---
    and today I'm going to
    give you a lesson in reality!
[13:17] ---
    Could it be that your room is set up
     so that nobody could hear cries for help?
[13:23] ---
    Yes, prepare yourself.
[13:25] ---
    I'm going to drum the conventions
    of moe content into your head!
[13:30] ---
    Isn't that incredibly unrealistic?
[13:34] ---
    Come on in. Sorry for the clutter,
    but don't let it bother you.
[13:38] ---
    Thanks for having me—
[13:39] ---
    Wow, talk about the very
    image of an otaku's room...
[13:43] ---
    Come on, that's wrong, too!
[13:44] ---
    Why are you so totally relaxed?
[13:47] ---
    You're supposed to casually say,
    "Gosh, it's so warm!" and open a window.
[13:50] ---
    Or inadvertently sit on the bed
    out of habit and get all flustered.
[13:55] ---
    Stick to the established
    heroine behavior patterns!
[13:58] ---
    How do you expect me to tense up
    with you ruining the mood like that?
[14:05] ---
    Whatever.
[14:06] ---
    I'll be able to get the proper
    reactions out of you soon enough.
[14:09] ---
    After all, today is a boot camp that will
    hone your 2D heroine sensibilities.
[14:14] ---
    I don't have any say in this, do I?
[14:16] ---
    So, which shall we play?
[14:19] ---
    All that you see before you
     are preeminent dating sim titles
[14:22] ---
    that will make you
    laugh, cry, and swoon.
[14:24] ---
    Uh, whatever's shortest,
    if you don't mind.
[14:26] ---
    I know, let's play this one!
    Total sales, 300,000 units!
[14:30] ---
    A legendary dating sim that was spun off into
    various media, including an anime adaptation!
[14:35] ---
    I really don't have any say in this...
[14:37] ---
    I had fun today.
SIGN    Go straight home. Go see the night view. Give her a present.
[14:41] ---
    No, that was the wrong choice!
[14:42] ---
    Thank you.
[14:44] ---
    Shouldn't giving her a present
    here be a surefire thing?
[14:47] ---
    It's to commemorate their date.
[14:49] ---
    You don't get it...
[14:50] ---
    You just don't get it, Kato!
[14:52] ---
    But going to look at
    the night view now wouldn't—
[14:55] ---
    Look, what she's looking for at
    this date event isn't some trinket!
[15:00] ---
    I think I'd be better off getting
    what I can while I can.
[15:03] ---
    Take it more seriously!
[15:05] ---
    What's important isn't things,
    it's shared memories!
[15:08] ---
    Oh, right.
[15:09] ---
    When you get a present, it makes
    things awkward after you break up.
[15:14] ---
    Kato... Put down
    the controller for a minute.
[15:17] ---
    It's Break & Lecture time.
[15:19] ---
    I'm all for a break, but why a lecture?
[15:22] ---
    Kato, you don't have the first clue
    about heroines in dating sims.
[15:25] ---
    They might just be symbols,
    but they aren't automata
[15:28] ---
    that always give the same reply
    when you press them in certain spots.
[15:31] ---
    They're human beings who are
    more appealing than real girls
[15:34] ---
    with warm blood running through
    their veins! That's what you have to be!
[15:37] ---
    But if that's the case, wouldn't they sometimes
    be incredibly fickle and break up with you?
[15:42] ---
    Let's call it quits...
[15:42] ---
    Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it!
[15:44] ---
    If even 2D girls stop
    wanting to go out with me,
[15:46] ---
    what can I hope to live for?!
[15:49] ---
    Oh, sorry. Let's pretend
    I didn't say that.
[15:55] ---
    Thank you for everything.
[15:57] ---
    Isn't this sad?
[15:58] ---
    Doesn't this scene make you tear up?
[16:00] ---
    Sure, I suppose it's emotional.
[16:04] ---
    Now do you see it, Kato?!
[16:05] ---
    The way it flows from this dialogue
    to the insert song is so epic!
[16:10] ---
    But get this! Get this!
[16:12] ---
    This isn't the real climax!
[16:14] ---
    Something even more
    astonishing will come after this!
[16:17] ---
    Oh, is that so? I sure am looking
    forward to seeing that.
[16:20] ---
    Prepare to be astonished, Kato!
    To save the protagonist, she offers...
[16:20] ---
    It's something that I decided,
    so it's time for me to go.
[16:24] ---
    You're right, it's interesting.
[16:26] ---
    If I had played this alone in peace
[16:28] ---
    without someone offering commentary
    or spoilers, I might have cried.
[16:33] ---
    I guess it's over.
[16:35] ---
    Yeah...
[16:36] ---
    Huh, I wasn't expecting it to end
    that way. That was a little surprising.
[16:41] ---
    And I'm a little surprised that you're
    this fun to hang out with, Kato.
[16:45] ---
    Though I guess I'm not one to talk.
[16:47] ---
    That's definitely a "I dunno
    about that..." sort of thing.
[16:50] ---
    So, now that you've played one
    all the way through, what do you think?
[16:54] ---
    It had its ups and
    downs, but it was fun.
[16:57] ---
    Right? Right?
[16:59] ---
    The artwork was really cute,
    the performances were passionate,
[17:03] ---
    the music was good, and
    the story was interesting, of course.
[17:06] ---
    Kato...
[17:07] ---
    I've never touched one of these
    "moe" games or anime before,
[17:12] ---
    but it's not what I always mocked.
[17:14] ---
    Kato...
[17:16] ---
    You're exactly the girl
    I knew you would be!
[17:19] ---
    It's not that big a deal.
[17:20] ---
    No, but it is a big deal!
[17:22] ---
    Anyway, this is the sort of main
    heroine I'm going to mold you into!
[17:26] ---
    Meaning that I'm going to suddenly
    drop dead at the end like in this game?
[17:31] ---
    Kato... You aren't mocking this
    game as one of those tearjerkers
[17:34] ---
    that kill off a heroine just to elicit
    an emotional response, are you?
[17:40] ---
    You don't get it...
[17:41] ---
    You just don't get it, Kato!
[17:43] ---
    Well, maybe I don't.
[17:46] ---
    I certainly don't understand
    what you are saying.
[17:48] ---
    Have a seat for a second.
[17:49] ---
    I already am sitting.
[17:51] ---
    Listen, no matter how facile
    and worn-out a weapon it is,
[17:55] ---
    if it has the support of lots of players,
    it should be used without hesitation!
[17:59] ---
    Um, I haven't really given it
    that much thought.
[18:02] ---
    There's no greater weapon in a creator's
    arsenal than a short attention span!
[18:06] ---
    Don't let criticism lead you astray!
[18:08] ---
    Look at the big picture with big eyes!
[18:09] ---
    Do a general assessment of
    what will hook the players the most!
[18:17] ---
    This tells me nothing about what
    you want to show the players
[18:20] ---
    or what emotions you want to
    make them experience.
[18:22] ---
    Is it because you yourself still can't
    envision what you really want to make?
[18:27] ---
    Now I see...
[18:28] ---
    I was the one who didn't understand.
[18:32] ---
    Thank you, Kato.
[18:33] ---
    Thanks to you, I've learned
    the most valuable lesson of all!
[18:37] ---
    Okay...
[18:38] ---
    Good for you?
[18:40] ---
    And with that, today's study session
    has ended on a happy note.
[18:46] ---
    I'll see you at school, Aki-kun.
[18:49] ---
    Hold on.
[18:53] ---
    This game actually has a sequel.
[18:58] ---
    It's been three years since the shocking
    bad ending with the heroine's death!
[19:01] ---
    This is the series' conclusion which is the best
    and went on sale at the right time!
[19:04] ---
    It's the beginning of a tale
    of rebirth and resurrection!
[19:08] ---
    Wait, she comes back to life?
[19:09] ---
    I won't spoil it!
[19:11] ---
    I won't say a word!
[19:12] ---
    See how it plays out
    with your own eyes, Kato!
[19:17] ---
    But if I start a new game now, I won't
    finish until the middle of the night.
[19:21] ---
    It's okay. My parents are out of
    town on an overnight trip today.
[19:25] ---
    Isn't that not okay at all?
[19:26] ---
    Besides, today's Saturday.
[19:28] ---
    There's no school tomorrow, right?
[19:30] ---
    Look, that's not the problem...
[19:33] ---
    I'm begging you, Kato! Don't leave!
[19:36] ---
    Aki-kun?
[19:37] ---
    For the sake of my— no,
    our dream — stay the night!
[19:42] ---
    Make a man of me!
[19:51] ---
    Well, I did tell my folks that I might be
    out late today, so I guess it's okay.
[19:55] ---
    You'll stay?!
[19:56] ---
    Hang on, Kato!
[19:57] ---
    Are you sure it's okay?
[19:59] ---
    To be blunt, the way
    things are now,
[20:00] ---
    I can't excuse my behavior
    if something happens!
[20:02] ---
    But you're you, Aki-kun, and all we're doing is
    staying up all night playing a game.
[20:06] ---
    Yeah, but you—
[20:07] ---
    I mean, you're right, but still...
[20:10] ---
    I think such an irresponsible and carefree
    attitude is crazy for a 3D girl, though.
[20:15] ---
    Again, I'm hardly one to talk, but still...
SIGN    Play from beginning Resume Options
[20:18] ---
    That's definitely a "I dunno
    about that..." sort of thing.
[21:56] ---
    It's over...
[21:57] ---
    It is.
[21:59] ---
    So, how was it for you?
[22:01] ---
    Reaching the true ending, I mean.
[22:04] ---
    I'm so sleepy...
[22:06] ---
    I won't let that be
    your only impression.
[22:09] ---
    Cut me some slack for now...
[22:12] ---
    Listen, Kato.
[22:13] ---
    If this game made you
    feel something,
[22:16] ---
    it means you're
    a member of my circle.
[22:19] ---
    Fine, I'll join. I'll join, okay?
[22:22] ---
    So let me sleep for a bit...
[22:25] ---
    Don't make a crucial decision that might
    alter the very course of your life
[22:30] ---
    based on you being sleepy or bored!
[22:33] ---
    Sheesh, you're so annoying, Aki-kun...
[22:37] ---
    I mean, this is just gonna
    end up being a circle
[22:39] ---
    where everybody plays games
    every day instead of making them, right?
[22:43] ---
    Don't pull me down to the level of
    people who have no ambition.
