    It made me so happy.
[20:01] Mikoto
    Because of you, school
    events were fun for me.
[20:04] Sota
    Like a tear-jerking video message.
[20:05] Toya
    I was there, too!
[20:07] Azuma
    Mikoto, could you not?
    This is pretty embarrassing...
[20:15] Mikoto
    I was afraid you'd never be able
    to play badminton again, so I ran.
[20:22] Mikoto
    Sorry.
[20:24] Mikoto
    I'm sorry.
[20:27] Mikoto
    But...
[20:29] Mikoto
    Still, I'm glad we got to play today.
[20:33] Mikoto
    It was fun.
[20:35] Mikoto
    Thank you so much.
[20:38] Tatsuru
    Whoops.
[20:39] Takeda
    Tatsu-san, you know you can't let him drink!
[20:42] Tatsuru
    Sorry. He gets like this when he drinks.
[20:45] Tatsuru
    He meant every word, though.
[20:49] Toya
    But he won't remember it.
[20:55] Azuma
    I see.
[22:31] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    Aw, man.
[22:32] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    That was quite the fall.
[22:35] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    You don't need to try so
    hard to return everything.
[22:38] (Flashback) Mikoto
    But I got it.
[22:42] (Flashback) Mikoto
    You lose when it hits the ground, right?
[22:47] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    I see. Yeah, you're right.
[22:51] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    That's exactly right.
[22:54] (Flashback) Tatsuru
    Thanks, Mikoto.
[23:07] Tatsuru
    I'm glad I got to play
    with you before it's over.
