**[00:09] Rikuo**
Shoot... I have to get to work.
**[00:11] Rikuo**
It's freezing.
**[00:13] Rikuo**
Why do I have to work
before the sun's even up?
**[00:17] Rikuo**
* In this town, the crows*
* wake up before the people.*
**[00:23] Rikuo**
Twenty yen is your change.
**[00:26] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[00:31] Rikuo**
So tired...
**[00:44] Rikuo**
What am I even doing?
**[00:49] Rikuo**
You're back again.
**[00:51] Rikuo**
Here.
**[00:52] Rikuo**
You got left out.
**[00:55] Haru**
Can I have some, too?
**[01:08] Haru**
Can I have a bento, too?
**[01:14] Rikuo**
I'm not allowed to do that.
**[01:17] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[01:19] Haru**
But you gave some to the crows.
**[01:21] Haru**
I missed the last train.
**[01:23] Haru**
I walked all the way here from Shinjuku.
**[01:25] Haru**
Just pretend I'm another crow.
***SIGN*** Reject
**[01:31] Haru**
Here.
**[01:32] Rikuo**
I only have seaweed bento.
**[01:33] Haru**
Yes!
**[01:35] Rikuo**
I'll get in trouble if
I get caught doing this.
**[01:38] Haru**
What's your first name, Uozumi-kun?
***SIGN*** Uozumi
**[01:41] ---**
Huh?
**[01:42] Rikuo**
Uh... It's Rikuo.
**[01:46] Haru**
Thanks, Rikuo!
**[01:48] Haru**
I'm Haru.
**[01:49] Haru**
Are you in college?
**[01:51] Rikuo**
I graduated this year.
**[01:54] Rikuo**
I'm a loafer now.
**[01:55] Haru**
Do you like crows?
**[01:56] Rikuo**
Do I *like* them?
**[01:58] Rikuo**
I guess they're cute when
you get used to them.
**[02:00] Haru**
This one's called Kansuke.
**[02:02] Haru**
Isn't he cute?
**[02:04] Haru**
See you.
**[02:04] Haru**
Thanks for the bento.
**[02:07] Rikuo**
What a weird girl.
**[02:08] Kinoshita**
There you are.
**[02:10] Kinoshita**
Quit slacking and get back to work, Uozumi.
**[02:12] Rikuo**
Sorry, Kinoshita-san.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
***SIGN*** Alumni Reunion
**[02:30] Rikuo**
"Thanks for another day of hard work," huh?
**[02:36] (Flashback) Shinako**
I guess this is goodbye.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Shinako**
We won't necessarily
find work here, after all.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Shinako**
We aren't students anymore,
**[02:46] (Flashback) Shinako**
and we won't get anywhere
working part-time forever.
**[02:59] ---**
Who is it?
**[03:01] Fukuda**
Hey.
**[03:03] Rikuo**
It's you, Fukuda?
**[03:05] Fukuda**
This place never changes, does it?
**[03:07] Fukuda**
It's a mess that transcends time.
**[03:10] Rikuo**
Do you come with no gifts
for your starving friend?
**[03:13] Fukuda**
Why should I spend my
hard-earned money on a loafer?
**[03:19] Fukuda**
Anyway, you got that letter
about the reunion, didn't you?
**[03:23] Rikuo**
Are we really doing that?
**[03:26] Rikuo**
We just graduated this year.
**[03:28] Fukuda**
Well, it's been six months since
we entered the real world.
**[03:31] Fukuda**
We want a chance to rant freely.
**[03:34] Rikuo**
I'll pass.
**[03:36] Rikuo**
I failed to get a job.
People will just feel sorry for me,
**[03:39] Rikuo**
and it'll get awkward.
**[03:41] Fukuda**
You didn't *fail* to get a job.
**[03:43] Fukuda**
You didn't bother.
**[03:45] Fukuda**
You never did any job hunting.
**[03:50] Rikuo**
I did at first.
**[03:52] Rikuo**
But I got to thinking...
**[03:54] Rikuo**
There isn't really anything I want to do.
**[03:58] Fukuda**
It's not like everyone's doing the work they
really want to be doing, I don't think.
**[04:04] Fukuda**
You're working at a convenience
store to make ends meet.
**[04:07] Fukuda**
Isn't that the same thing?
**[04:10] Rikuo**
It doesn't feel as stressful when
I think of it as just a part-time gig.
**[04:13] Rikuo**
It's easy to quit if I get sick of it.
**[04:15] Rikuo**
And my employer doesn't have to expect much
of me if they think of me as a part-timer.
**[04:20] Fukuda**
Anyway, you better show up at the reunion.
**[04:23] Fukuda**
It's going to be the usual crew.
**[04:25] Fukuda**
Morinome Shinako will be there, too.
**[04:31] Fukuda**
Should I not have mentioned her?
**[04:33] Rikuo**
It's fine, really.
**[04:35] Rikuo**
But wasn't she in Kanazawa?
**[04:38] Fukuda**
No, I heard she transferred
to a high school here.
**[04:43] Fukuda**
I've been meaning to ask...
**[04:46] Fukuda**
Were you two dating?
**[04:49] Rikuo**
No.
**[04:50] Fukuda**
Oh, really?
**[04:52] Fukuda**
You two were always together, so...
**[04:54] Fukuda**
Well, that's a surprise.
**[04:56] Fukuda**
Friends, huh?
**[04:58] Fukuda**
Just friends.
**[05:01] Haru**
'Sup, Rikuo?
**[05:04] Rikuo**
You again?
**[05:05] Haru**
Hey, doesn't my voice sound weird?
**[05:08] Kinoshita**
You're as energetic as ever, Haru-chan.
**[05:10] Haru**
Kinoshita-san.
**[05:12] Haru**
My throat's messed up from karaoke.
**[05:15] Kinoshita**
Let's go together sometime.
**[05:17] Haru**
Sure!
**[05:18] Haru**
If you're paying.
**[05:20] Haru**
Oh, I have to go to work.
**[05:22] Haru**
I just wanted to swing by to say hi.
**[05:25] Haru**
See you.
**[05:26] Kinoshita**
Later.
**[05:28] Kinoshita**
I wish Haru-chan would come every day.
**[05:30] Rikuo**
She's kind of eccentric, isn't she?
**[05:33] Rikuo**
She walks around with a crow.
**[05:34] Rikuo**
Who does that?
**[05:36] Kinoshita**
You idiot.
**[05:37] Kinoshita**
Cute girls are allowed to do anything.
**[05:40] Rikuo**
Is that really how it is?
**[05:42] Kinoshita**
That's really how it is.
**[05:47] Kinoshita**
Are you not into younger girls?
**[05:49] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun.
**[05:50] Rikuo**
Yes? Welcome.
**[05:54] Shinako**
Long time no see.
**[05:56] Rikuo**
Shi— nako!
**[05:58] Shinako**
These are leftovers from today's reunion.
**[06:02] Shinako**
Have you been eating
right while I was away?
**[06:04] Rikuo**
Huh? Well...
**[06:08] Rikuo**
Welcome.
**[06:09] Shinako**
You seem busy.
**[06:11] Shinako**
I'll be at the family restaurant
on Kannana Avenue.
**[06:13] Shinako**
Stop by when you're done here.
**[06:20] Kinoshita**
Who was that really pretty lady?
**[06:22] Kinoshita**
What is she to you?!
**[06:23] Rikuo**
Later.
**[06:26] Rikuo**
So you were only working
there for three months?
**[06:30] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[06:31] Shinako**
I found a job at a high school right after.
**[06:34] Shinako**
You sure haven't changed, have you?
**[06:36] Rikuo**
People don't really change
in half a year, do they?
**[06:40] Shinako**
I'm kind of relieved.
**[06:43] Rikuo**
*It had been a while since I saw Shinako.*
**[06:46] Rikuo**
*She hadn't changed.*
**[06:48] (Flashback) Shinako**
Isn't there anything you
want to do, Uozumi-kun?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Shinako**
I want to become a teacher.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Shinako**
Uozumi-kun, you shouldn't be skipping class.
**[06:58] Rikuo**
*Shinako was caring.*
**[07:01] Shinako**
You still ride your bike everywhere, huh?
**[07:04] Rikuo**
Well, sorry for not driving.
**[07:06] Shinako**
I wasn't expecting you to.
**[07:09] Shinako**
Remember how we used to walk here
late at night when we were students?
**[07:14] Rikuo**
Oh, yeah, I remember now.
**[07:16] Rikuo**
*Aimless conversation.*
**[07:17] Rikuo**
We went drinking and missed the last train.
**[07:19] Shinako**
We were so young.
**[07:20] Rikuo**
* I don't know if she knew I had feelings for*
* her or not, but she had her guard down.*
**[07:26] Rikuo**
I guess I'm what the world
would call a failure.
**[07:35] Shinako**
Having seen you as a student,
**[07:38] ---**
I can't picture you working
your ass off in a suit.
**[07:42] Rikuo**
*I can't compete with Shinako.*
**[07:46] Shinako**
That's why...
**[07:48] ---**
you give the impression of someone
who needs to be taken care of.
**[07:52] Rikuo**
*That might be...*
**[07:54] ---**
*why I like her.*
**[07:59] Shinako**
This is my place.
**[08:00] Shinako**
Thanks for walking me home.
**[08:02] Shinako**
See you.
**[08:03] Rikuo**
Hey, Shinako...
**[08:07] Rikuo**
You should drop by again.
**[08:09] Shinako**
Yeah, I should.
**[08:12] Kinoshita**
Uozumi, here.
**[08:15] Rikuo**
What's this?
**[08:16] Kinoshita**
My band's releasing a CD.
**[08:18] Kinoshita**
We need a photo for the jacket.
**[08:21] Rikuo**
What? I'm not that good...
**[08:24] Kinoshita**
It's fine. We're amateurs, too.
**[08:27] Kinoshita**
Cool, thank you.
**[08:29] Rikuo**
I never said I could do it...
**[08:35] Rikuo**
*Music, huh?*
**[08:37] Rikuo**
* I wonder if I would've*
* turned out differently*
**[08:39] ---**
*if I'd gotten into something like that.*
**[08:47] Rikuo**
Huh?
**[08:48] Rikuo**
Isn't that...
**[08:49] Haru**
Whoa.
**[08:51] Haru**
It's Rikuo.
**[08:53] Rikuo**
What are you up to?
**[08:54] Haru**
Taking a walk with Kansuke.
**[08:56] Haru**
He's got a bad leg.
**[08:59] Haru**
Come on, we should sit down
if we're going to talk.
**[09:02] Rikuo**
Hey!
**[09:04] Rikuo**
Why am I doing this?
**[09:07] Haru**
Go have fun.
**[09:09] Rikuo**
So...
**[09:11] Rikuo**
Doesn't your family say anything
about you walking around with a crow?
**[09:15] Haru**
I have no family.
**[09:17] Rikuo**
You live alone?
**[09:18] Haru**
That's right.
**[09:19] Haru**
Kansuke's my only family.
**[09:22] Rikuo**
Yeah?
**[09:24] Haru**
Can I have one?
**[09:27] Rikuo**
You're in high school, aren't you?
**[09:29] Haru**
I go to Tokyo University.
**[09:30] Rikuo**
You're messing with me.
**[09:34] Haru**
I go to that store so I can
see you, you know.
**[09:37] Rikuo**
Why, thank you.
**[09:40] Haru**
You don't seem very appreciative.
**[09:43] Rikuo**
I'm not such a dunce that I like being
followed around by some random chick.
**[09:49] Haru**
Wow, you're pretty humble for someone
**[09:53] ---**
who's being hit on by a
mysterious, pretty girl like me.
**[09:57] Haru**
I've known about you for a
long time, though, Rikuo.
**[10:04] Rikuo**
Say what? Since when?
**[10:09] Haru**
You might know who I am
if you had good memory.
**[10:14] Rikuo**
Unfortunately, I have too many things
that I'd rather not remember.
**[10:21] Haru**
That snowy day five years ago.
**[10:23] Haru**
That was when we first met.
**[10:26] Haru**
You really don't remember?
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[10:37] Haru**
Heyo, young laborers.
**[10:41] Haru**
Are you working hard?
**[10:43] Kinoshita**
You're as energetic as ever.
**[10:45] Haru**
Huh? Where's Rikuo?
**[10:47] Kinoshita**
He left just now after a
mystery beauty showed up.
**[10:52] Haru**
Yeah?
**[10:55] Rikuo**
Are you heading home from school today?
**[10:57] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[10:57] Shinako**
One of my students wanted to
discuss something with me.
**[11:00] Shinako**
Things are complicated.
**[11:02] Rikuo**
Yeah?
**[11:03] Haru**
Rikuo!
**[11:05] Haru**
I finally caught you red-handed!
**[11:06] Haru**
You're awful! You've been
lying to me this whole time!
**[11:09] Rikuo**
H-Haru!
**[11:11] Haru**
I just watched a drama where a woman
caught her SO cheating on her,
**[11:15] Haru**
and she said that.
**[11:16] Rikuo**
S-Stop it!
**[11:18] Rikuo**
You're going to give her the wrong idea!
**[11:20] Haru**
Hey, hello there. Nice to meet you.
**[11:27] Haru**
And with that, I'd better get going.
**[11:30] Shinako**
Nonaka-san!
**[11:34] Shinako**
Wait, Nonaka-san.
**[11:36] Rikuo**
No... Nonaka?
**[11:43] Haru**
Oh, wow, it's you, Sensei.
**[11:48] Haru**
You surprised me. Jeez.
**[11:50] Shinako**
Nonaka-san, what are you up to now?
**[11:54] Haru**
Nothing, really.
**[11:56] Haru**
I make a living working part-time.
**[11:58] Haru**
It shouldn't matter to you, Sensei.
**[12:06] Shinako**
You're right.
**[12:09] Shinako**
I still regret what happened.
**[12:13] Shinako**
I'm sorry.
**[12:18] Haru**
Oh, come on.
**[12:19] Haru**
It's not like I quit school
because I got fed up.
**[12:23] Haru**
It's not your fault.
**[12:26] Haru**
So anyway, pardon me.
**[12:33] Shinako**
She was a student in my class.
**[12:37] Shinako**
The school found out that she
worked at a bar type of place.
**[12:41] Shinako**
She got suspended.
**[12:43] Rikuo**
Well, of course, if she was
working at a place like that.
**[12:47] Rikuo**
But she's doing well now.
**[12:50] Rikuo**
There isn't anything to worry about, is there?
**[12:56] Shinako**
She's...
**[12:58] ---**
a little weird, but she's a good girl.
**[13:01] Shinako**
Be good to her.
**[13:06] Shinako**
What's wrong?
**[13:09] Shinako**
Okay, thanks for walking me home.
**[13:13] Rikuo**
Goodnight.
**[13:26] Rikuo**
Haru!
**[13:26] Haru**
What are you sighing for?
**[13:29] Rikuo**
I thought you went home.
**[13:31] Haru**
She left without a hint of hesitation.
**[13:34] Haru**
I guess she doesn't like you back, huh?
**[13:36] Rikuo**
Wh—
**[13:38] Haru**
I see how it is.
**[13:40] Rikuo**
What's your deal?
**[13:41] Haru**
A lady friend from when
you were students, huh?
**[13:44] Haru**
No wonder you're so cautious.
**[13:46] Haru**
You could end up losing
all your mutual friends.
**[13:50] Rikuo**
Wh-What would you know?
**[13:52] Haru**
Don't worry, though. You'll be okay.
**[13:55] Haru**
As long as you back down peacefully
if you do crash and burn.
**[13:57] Haru**
Shinako-sensei's really nice. It'll be fine.
**[14:01] Haru**
She'll stay friends with you
as if nothing had happened.
**[14:05] Haru**
Probably.
**[14:07] Rikuo**
You're like a demon.
**[14:19] Rikuo**
Oh, yeah.
**[14:20] Rikuo**
That thing you said about
having met me before...
**[14:25] Rikuo**
I still can't recall.
**[14:27] Haru**
It's because I changed.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Rikuo**
Oh, shit!
**[14:39] (Flashback) Haru**
You dropped this.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Rikuo**
That's the most important thing I have.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[14:54] Rikuo**
Right.
**[14:55] Rikuo**
That was you.
**[14:56] Haru**
You'd better thank me.
**[14:58] Haru**
Relationships are just illusions.
**[15:02] Haru**
I knew that.
**[15:04] Haru**
Yet that's how I spent five years.
**[15:09] Haru**
I'm so stupid.
**[15:13] Haru**
I'm kidding!
**[15:14] Haru**
That last half was a lie. A big, fat lie.
**[15:16] Haru**
Why would I have?
**[15:17] Haru**
I'm serious. It really was a joke!
**[15:19] Haru**
Bye!
**[15:21] Rikuo**
I'm so confused.
**[15:32] Kinoshita**
That mystery beauty was here yesterday.
**[15:34] Rikuo**
Huh?
**[15:36] ---**
Oh... I got a call last night.
**[15:38] Kinoshita**
I don't get how you're so damn popular.
**[15:41] Kinoshita**
Teach me your secret ways.
**[15:43] Rikuo**
I'm not that popular.
**[15:45] Rikuo**
She only sees me as a friend.
**[15:49] Kinoshita**
You like her, don't you?
**[15:50] Rikuo**
I do.
**[15:52] Rikuo**
But, I mean...
**[15:54] Rikuo**
I feel like things are fine the way they are.
**[15:57] Rikuo**
I'm jobless,
**[16:00] Rikuo**
and she's a proper high school teacher.
**[16:02] Rikuo**
I guess I admire her.
**[16:04] Rikuo**
And that might go away if we started dating.
**[16:08] Kinoshita**
Say what?
**[16:09] Kinoshita**
You're not making sense to me.
**[16:11] Rikuo**
I'm not trying to make sense to you.
**[16:16] Kinoshita**
You seem pretty evasive about life.
**[16:19] Kinoshita**
Do you think you'd look
dumb if you were a tryhard?
**[16:23] Kinoshita**
You're just being self-deprecating to
give yourself a way out, aren't you?
**[16:27] Kinoshita**
So that you won't get hurt,
no matter where the chips fall.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Kinoshita**
Nah.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Kinoshita**
I'm not one to talk.
**[16:38] (Flashback) Kinoshita**
I'm using music as an excuse
not to have a proper job.
**[16:43] Rikuo**
* I have nothing to say when*
* people show me their optimism.*
**[16:50] Rikuo**
* And that's because I'm*
* an outcast from society.*
**[16:54] Rikuo**
* I don't feel qualified to talk about*
* people who are working hard at something.*
**[17:01] Rikuo**
*Is that why I'm being self-deprecating?*
**[17:05] Rikuo**
*No, actually, I'm just high on the phrase*
**[17:10] ---**
*"outcast from society."*
**[17:13] Rikuo**
*Rather than find a career,*
**[17:15] Rikuo**
*rather than confess to my crush,*
**[17:18] Rikuo**
* rather than arrive at some*
* outcome and be hurt,*
**[17:21] ---**
* I'm just keeping the outcome vague*
* so I can keep up appearances.*
**[17:34] Shinako**
What's up, Uozumi-kun?
**[17:36] Rikuo**
Sorry to call you out so late at night.
**[17:39] Shinako**
Want to go to a family
restaurant or something?
**[17:41] Rikuo**
Nah.
**[17:43] ---**
Here's fine.
**[17:47] Shinako**
Okay.
**[17:51] Rikuo**
I've been wanting to say this for a while.
**[17:56] Rikuo**
I like you.
**[18:00] Shinako**
I like you, too.
**[18:02] Rikuo**
I don't mean it like that.
**[18:04] Rikuo**
I mean, seriously.
**[18:06] Rikuo**
You might think, "Why is he
telling me this after all this time?"
**[18:09] Rikuo**
I mean, I think that, too, but...
**[18:12] Rikuo**
And I know I look stupid if I say
this at the wrong time, but...
**[18:27] Shinako**
Can we not stay friends?
**[18:31] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[18:34] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[18:35] Rikuo**
I just wanted some closure
for myself. That's all.
**[18:40] Rikuo**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[18:41] Rikuo**
Later.
**[18:46] Rikuo**
*Buck up, damn it!*
**[18:48] Rikuo**
* I was supposed get rejected*
* on graduation day.*
**[18:50] Rikuo**
*I just let it linger until today.*
**[18:59] Rikuo**
Everything's fine.
**[19:03] Rikuo**
This is fine.
**[19:06] Rikuo**
Damn it! I want to quit life!
**[19:18] Rikuo**
*The weather's so nice.*
**[19:21] Rikuo**
* Maybe I'll go take that*
* photo Kinoshita-san wanted.*
**[19:29] Rikuo**
*Being at the park doesn't help.*
**[19:32] Rikuo**
*This place doesn't exactly have punk vibes.*
**[19:35] Haru**
Can I have a cigarette?
**[19:38] Rikuo**
Haru.
**[19:39] Haru**
'Sup?
**[19:42] Haru**
What happened to your forehead?
**[19:46] Rikuo**
I just had my book closed on
what you called an illusion,
**[19:51] Rikuo**
then I fell off my bicycle.
**[19:53] Rikuo**
I attempted a so-called
"personal transformation."
**[19:57] Rikuo**
I tried confronting the lies I tell myself.
**[20:00] Rikuo**
I thought, hey, let's see what happens, and...
**[20:05] Rikuo**
Nothing happened.
**[20:07] Rikuo**
I'm stuck right where I've always been.
**[20:11] Rikuo**
I'm kinda sick of myself right now.
**[20:14] Haru**
I admire you.
**[20:18] Haru**
People hate liars, but people like them.
**[20:23] Haru**
You lie, you play along with what
people say, and live a BS life.
**[20:29] Haru**
You have nothing to hurt
people or to be hurt by.
**[20:33] Haru**
You become worthless.
**[20:35] Haru**
And you become sick of
being with other people.
**[20:39] Haru**
That's basically why I quit school, too.
**[20:45] Haru**
Liars don't lose anything,
**[20:49] ---**
but they don't gain anything, either.
**[20:52] Rikuo**
*This kid's the same as me.*
**[20:55] Haru**
I'm a liar,
**[20:58] ---**
but for the first time, I wanted to be liked.
**[21:01] Haru**
Maybe I'm out of places to escape to.
**[21:08] Haru**
Well, then...
**[21:09] Haru**
Hey, you have a nice camera!
**[21:12] Rikuo**
Yeah, it's a hobby.
**[21:15] Rikuo**
Oh, I know. Let me take your photo.
**[21:18] Rikuo**
Why not?
**[21:19] Rikuo**
It'll be for a CD jacket.
**[21:21] Rikuo**
For an amateur band.
**[21:22] ---**
H-Huh?
**[21:25] Haru**
Do I just stay here?
**[21:27] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[21:28] Rikuo**
Stand there.
**[21:29] Rikuo**
Be casual.
**[21:30] Haru**
This is so half-assed.
**[21:34] Haru**
Okay, this is totally basic, but...

You look great with short hair, too.
**[00:30] Haru**
Come on, Rikuo.
**[00:33] Haru**
The weather's nice.
**[00:35] Haru**
Let's go somewhere.
**[00:37] Rikuo**
I'm in the middle of work, damn it.
**[00:40] Kinoshita**
Haru-chan, you should go with me instead.
**[00:46] Kinoshita**
This guy's still not over being rejected, anyway.
**[00:51] Rikuo**
Kinoshita-san!
**[00:54] Haru**
Jeez, you're still upset?
**[00:57] Haru**
Fine, whatever.

I'll go by myself.
**[01:01] Haru**
Bye.
**[01:02] Kinoshita**
Aw, she's gone.
**[01:07] ---**
Jeez.
**[01:09] Rikuo**
Why is she here every day?
**[01:11] Kinoshita**
She's here to mess with you, Uozumi.
**[01:15] Kinoshita**
Why are you so mean to her?
**[01:18] Kinoshita**
I feel bad for her.
**[01:20] Rikuo**
I'm... I'm not being mean to her.
**[01:24] Kinoshita**
Come on, man.
**[01:25] Kinoshita**
So you went at her and it didn't work.
**[01:27] Kinoshita**
Be a man and switch gears already.
**[01:30] Kinoshita**
You haven't talked to that

**[03:34] Shinako**
Never mind that.
**[03:36] Shinako**
What's the idea of building a
mountain of garbage in the classroom?
**[03:41] Rou**
The theme is "graduation."
**[03:42] Rou**
The symmetry makes it pretty
academic, don't you think?
**[03:45] Shinako**
Just tear it down, all right?
**[03:47] Shinako**
Before another teacher shows up.
**[03:52] Rou**
The world is still hostile toward art.
**[04:01] Shinako**
Don't you have entrance exams next year?
**[04:04] Shinako**
Why are you out here in Tokyo?
**[04:06] Rou**
I told you, my dad moved
out of home for work.
**[04:11] Rou**
Although I would have stayed in Kanazawa

**[04:16] Shinako**

Not today.
**[04:28] Shinako**
The teachers are getting together to drink.
**[04:30] Rou**
That's boring.

Grown-ups have social commitments of our own.

You're from Kanazawa, Morinome-sensei?

I went to college in Tokyo.
**[05:02] Shinako**
I went back for a bit
when I was job hunting,
**[05:05] ---**
but then I learned about this place, so...
**[05:08] Morita**
I never knew.
**[05:09] Morita**
Is there someone nice here?
**[05:11] Shinako**
Nah, it's nothing like that.
**[05:13] Morita**
Or did you leave someone back in Kanazawa?
**[05:24] Shinako**
Not really.
**[05:26] Morita**
The way you react makes me curious.
**[05:28] Sensei A**
I know we're in the middle of the party,
but I'd like to pause that for a moment
**[05:32] ---**
and thank you all for seeing the students
through all the way to graduation.
**[05:33] Morita**
Oh, well. Someday.
**[05:37] Teachers**
Thank you.
**[05:40] Sensei B**
Well, ready for the after-after-party?
**[05:42] Shinako**
Actually, I'd better get going.
**[05:46] Morita**
You're leaving?
**[05:47] Sensei A**
All right, get home safe.
**[05:49] Shinako**
Pardon me.
**[06:23] Rikuo**
Shinako?
**[06:26] Rikuo**
What are you doing out here so late?
**[06:31] Shinako**
What about you, Uozumi-kun?
**[06:33] Rikuo**
I live around here.
**[06:36] Rikuo**
I'm on my way home.
**[06:39] Shinako**
Oh, right.
**[06:44] Rikuo**
Y-You cut your hair.
**[06:47] Shinako**
Yeah, kinda.
**[06:55] Rikuo**
You seem out of it.
**[06:56] Rikuo**
Is something wrong?
**[06:59] Shinako**
I was watching the cherry blossoms.
**[07:02] Shinako**
I don't like cherry blossoms
that much, but they're pretty.
**[07:08] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[07:10] Shinako**
Time flies, doesn't it?
**[07:12] Shinako**
It's already been a year
since we graduated college.
**[07:17] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[07:20] Shinako**
It's so disappointing.
**[07:25] Shinako**
People don't really change that much,
**[07:28] Shinako**
yet time just... ticks away.
**[07:33] Rikuo**
What's gotten into you?
**[07:35] Rikuo**
You're always so forward-thinking.
**[07:38] Rikuo**
Only unchanging losers like me
are supposed to say stuff like that.
**[07:44] Shinako**
You're not a good judge
of character, Uozumi-kun.
**[07:47] Shinako**
I'm not that forward-thinking.
**[07:51] Shinako**
I might seem like I'm moving
forward, but I'm really not.
**[07:56] Shinako**
I just keep going around in
circles on the same spot.
**[08:01] Rikuo**
Don't you have an early start tomorrow?
**[08:04] Rikuo**
I'll walk you home.
**[08:21] Rikuo**
What's wrong?
**[08:24] Shinako**
I'm going to stay here a bit longer.
**[08:27] Rikuo**
I'll stay with you, then.
**[08:29] Shinako**
No, it's okay.
**[08:32] Shinako**
My apartment's not far from here.
**[08:37] Shinako**
This isn't right, is it?
**[08:41] Shinako**
I know it's not, but I don't know what to do.
**[08:48] Shinako**
If you do think I have anything going for me,
**[08:55] Shinako**
I want you to see me as just a friend.
**[08:59] ---**
I want to have the friendship we used to have,
where we could laugh about stupid things.
**[09:06] Shinako**
It's not that there's anything wrong with you.
**[09:09] Shinako**
Um...
**[09:12] Shinako**
Am I asking for too much?
**[09:18] Rikuo**
I'll try my best.
**[09:22] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[09:26] Rikuo**
Haru?
**[09:27] Rikuo**
What are you doing out here so late?
**[09:30] Haru**
"So late"?
**[09:32] Haru**
I'm heading home from work.
**[09:34] Haru**
I'm a hostess at a bar.
**[09:36] Haru**
This is my route home.
**[09:39] Haru**
What are *you* two doing out so late?
**[09:42] Rikuo**
What?
**[09:43] Shinako**
Oh, um... we just ran into each other.
**[09:46] Shinako**
Please don't get the wrong idea, Nonaka-san.
**[09:53] Haru**
Well, not that I care.
**[09:56] Haru**
Pardon my intrusion.
**[10:01] Rikuo**
Sh-She's not anything

**[10:06] Shinako**
You seem to be something to her, though.

**[10:28] Kinoshita**
Did you make Haru-chan hate you?
**[10:39] Rikuo**
Kinoshita-san...
**[10:41] Rikuo**
Do you think men and women can be friends?
**[10:45] Kinoshita**
That came out of nowhere.
**[10:49] Kinoshita**
Well, I wouldn't say no,
**[10:52] ---**
but you'd have to have the
confidence to stay friends,
**[10:54] ---**
even if she ends up in a relationship
while you still have feelings for her.
**[11:05] Kinoshita**
Do you have that confidence?
**[11:07] Rikuo**
But if you're friends,
**[11:10] ---**
wouldn't it be rude to stop
being friends just because
**[11:14] ---**
you can't be in a relationship with them?
**[11:17] Rikuo**
I don't want to ruin what we have for
the sake of my childish emotions.

Let's go to the park to

**[12:07] Haru**
They say you can't fight on an empty stomach.
**[12:10] Haru**
Time to eat.
**[12:13] Haru**
Would you like some?
**[12:19] Haru**
I was working at a bar,
**[12:22] Haru**
but I didn't drink a drop of booze.
**[12:25] Haru**
Not that it means anything to say this now...
**[12:32] Shinako**
I trust you.
**[12:36] Shinako**
So, what did you want to talk about?
**[12:42] Haru**
All right.
**[12:46] Haru**
Sensei, let's have a contest.
**[12:51] Rikuo**
Wha?
**[12:52] Rou**
Don't "Wha?" me.
**[12:53] Rou**
Morinome Shinako! You know her, don't you?
**[12:56] Rou**
Be honest.
**[12:58] Rou**
What is your relationship with her?
**[13:00] Rikuo**
My relationship with...
**[13:02] Rikuo**
Who are you, anyway?
**[13:03] Rou**
I'm Hayakawa Rou.
**[13:05] Rou**
Shinako and I grew up together in Kanazawa.
**[13:10] Rikuo**
I have no idea what you're getting at.
**[13:11] Rou**
Dude, you're dense.
**[13:13] Kinoshita**
Guys, would you please take
your problems outside?
**[13:17] Kinoshita**
You're in the way.
**[13:19] Rikuo**
Kinoshita-san...
**[13:22] Rikuo**
So, what is it that you
want to tell me, young man?
**[13:26] Rou**
You aren't a good fit for Shinako.
**[13:28] ---**
Huh?
**[13:30] Rou**
Our houses were next to each other.
**[13:32] Rou**
I've known her since we were kids.
**[13:35] Rou**
How much do you know about her?
**[13:38] Rikuo**
What does it matter to you?
**[13:42] Rou**
So you don't know...
**[13:44] Rou**
who she was in Kanazawa.
**[13:47] Rou**
That's the extent of your relationship.
**[13:54] Rikuo**
Wait.
**[13:58] Rikuo**
What happened in Kanazawa?
**[14:04] Shinako**
A-A contest?
**[14:13] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun and I won't
ever be more than friends.
**[14:20] Haru**
That's not fair, trying to be friends.
**[14:23] Haru**
Even if you make Rikuo turn to me
instead, it would only be a compromise.
**[14:28] Haru**
If we have a contest and I lose, I can give up,
**[14:32] Haru**
but I don't want to be a compromise.
**[14:35] Rikuo**
I understand, but I don't want to
do a contest with you, either.
**[14:37] Haru**
Then why don't you tell him
to stop being friends, too?
**[14:41] Guy A**
What? I have to hold the spot by myself?
**[14:45] Guy A**
I'll be lonely.
**[14:46] Girl A**
Want me to come with you, then?
**[14:48] Girl A**
The weather's nice.
**[14:49] Guy A**
Really? You'll do it?
**[14:50] Girl B**
Don't dump the job on her.
**[14:52] Girl B**
Go by yourself.
**[14:54] Guy B**
Why are you trying to leave?
**[14:58] Haru**
Why did you reject Rikuo, Sensei?
**[15:02] Haru**
Doesn't it take guts to stay friends
even when things are tough?
**[15:09] Haru**
Why?
**[15:10] Haru**
Is it because Rikuo's a loafer?
**[15:12] Shinako**
That has nothing to do with it.
**[15:15] Shinako**
So, then, why do you like
Uozumi-kun, Nonaka-san?
**[15:20] Haru**
I don't know.
**[15:22] Haru**
I just started liking him one day.
**[15:24] Haru**
Love's just a trick of the mind.
**[15:27] Haru**
I think once it happens, it doesn't stop
until you see some kind of conclusion.
**[15:35] Shinako**
That sounds like something you'd say.
**[15:43] Shinako**
There's actually someone I'm in love with.
**[15:51] Shinako**
But...
**[15:53] Shinako**
he's gone now.
**[15:58] Rikuo**
Who is this person?
**[16:00] Rou**
My brother.
**[16:03] Rou**
He was the same age as Shinako.
**[16:04] Rou**
He died six years ago.
**[16:08] Rou**
He always had heart problems.
**[16:11] Rou**
We didn't have a mom at home.
She died early.
***SIGN*** Hayakawa
**[16:17] Rou**
Shinako would come to our place

I couldn't stand to see them like that.
**[16:39] Rou**
The night my brother died,
**[16:42] ---**
Shinako spent the whole night
staring at the cherry tree in my yard.
**[16:47] Rou**
Every time cherry blossom season comes
around, she remembers my brother.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Shinako**
I was watching the cherry blossoms.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Shinako**
I just keep going around in
circles on the same spot.
**[17:05] Shinako**
I think I'm tired of being in love now.
**[17:14] Shinako**
So you don't have to worry about me.
**[17:24] Haru**
I thought you were keeping Rikuo as a backup.
**[17:29] Haru**
I guess it's not like that, is it?
**[17:32] Haru**
I've made up my mind, then.
**[17:36] Shinako**
About what?
**[17:39] Haru**
I'm declaring war against you, Sensei.
**[17:45] Haru**
I didn't want to be sneaky about it.
**[17:48] Haru**
So now you know.
**[17:56] Haru**
Anyway, I should get going.
**[18:00] Haru**
I feel better now that I've
said what I wanted to say.
**[18:04] Haru**
See you, Sensei.
**[18:09] Haru**
Oh, I forgot to say something.
**[18:13] Haru**
It wasn't your fault that I quit school.
**[18:31] Kinoshita**
Are you done talking yet?
**[18:34] Kinoshita**
Wait, huh?
**[18:47] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun? What's up?
**[18:50] Rikuo**
Ah, well...
**[18:53] Rikuo**
Your childhood friend, Hayakawa Rou,
came to the store today.
**[19:03] Rikuo**
Not that that means anything.
**[19:07] Rikuo**
But the reason I'm here...
**[19:09] Rikuo**
I don't really have a reason, but...
**[19:12] Rikuo**
Well...
**[19:17] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[19:19] Rikuo**
I'm going to go home and cool my head.
**[19:28] Shinako**
Sorry for not telling you.
**[19:30] Shinako**
I wasn't trying to hide it,
**[19:34] ---**
but I just didn't want to make it an excuse.
**[19:40] Shinako**
It's stupid, isn't it?
**[19:43] Shinako**
I still can't let go of the past.
**[19:54] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun, let's stop being friends.
**[20:02] Shinako**
It won't work if one of us
has to put effort into it.
**[20:07] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[20:08] Rikuo**
I was thinking that, too.
**[20:11] Rikuo**
I can't be friends with you.
**[20:14] Rikuo**
I was going to try,
**[20:17] ---**
but I don't think I can.
**[20:20] Rikuo**
Not that there's anything to do about it.
**[20:24] Rikuo**
And I'm still acting like we're friends...
**[20:31] Rikuo**
But I have ulterior motives.
**[20:33] Rikuo**
So keep that in mind.
**[20:36] Rikuo**
Would that bother you?
**[20:39] Shinako**
No...
**[20:42] Shinako**
But then...
**[20:43] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[20:44] Rikuo**
I'm just doing this for my own satisfaction.
**[20:47] Rikuo**
I'd rather wait than be friends.
**[20:51] Rikuo**
Don't mind me.
**[20:53] Rikuo**
Anyway, I'm heading home now.
**[21:04] Shinako**
*I hate this...*
**[21:12] Shinako**
*That I'm actually relieved.*
**[21:18] Kinoshita**
I'm way better, then.
**[21:20] Haru**
I don't know...
**[21:22] Kinoshita**
Hey.
**[21:23] Haru**
Here comes the derelict.
**[21:26] Kinoshita**
Who might you be, again?
**[21:28] Rikuo**
Kinoshita-san.
**[21:30] Haru**
I heard you have a new rival
or something, Uozumi-san.
**[21:35] Rikuo**
It's none of your business.
**[21:39] Haru**
How could you say that?

**[00:06] Haru**
It's raining.
**[00:09] Kinoshita**
Dude, you should go home for the day.
**[00:12] Kinoshita**
I'll talk to the manager for you.
**[00:15] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[00:35] Rikuo**
Why are you following me?
**[00:37] Haru**
We live in the same direction.
**[00:39] Haru**
Hey, tell me more.
**[00:42] Rikuo**
About what?
**[00:43] Haru**
About your rival showing up.
**[00:49] Rikuo**
Why do you want to know?
**[00:51] Haru**
Why wouldn't I be curious?
**[00:54] Haru**
I went out and declared war
against Shinako-sensei.
**[01:04] Haru**
That way, neither of us has to
worry about hurting the other.
**[01:09] Rikuo**
I've been meaning to say...
**[01:12] Rikuo**
I'm not the person you think I am.
**[01:15] Rikuo**
You aren't going to get
anything out of talking to me.
**[01:21] Rikuo**
You could easily attract someone
who's got more going for them.
**[01:26] Rikuo**
I don't hate you or anything,
**[01:29] ---**
but I don't think I could be nice to you.
**[01:33] Rikuo**
My brain doesn't have that
kind of capacity right now.
**[01:40] Haru**
I don't have as many hopes or ideals
about who you are as you think, Rikuo.
**[01:46] Haru**
I get it.
**[01:47] Haru**
You've got a lot on your mind right now.
**[01:50] Haru**
Like, about yourself and
about Shinako-sensei.
**[01:56] Haru**
I'm like a runner that started half a lap late.
**[02:02] Haru**
It's okay, though.
**[02:04] Haru**
It doesn't matter who you like.
**[02:09] Haru**
I don't have any demands of you.
**[02:15] Haru**
Sure, I would like it if you
fell in love with me someday.
**[02:19] Haru**
But right now, I'm pretty happy
just doing what we are now.
**[02:26] Haru**
Is that weird?
**[02:29] Rikuo**
Well, crap. I really get how you feel.
**[02:43] Haru**
Rikuo, what is love?
**[02:47] Rikuo**
Where did that come from?
**[02:49] Rikuo**
How should I know?
**[02:56] Haru**
I don't know, either!
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[03:11] Haru**
Hello.
**[03:12] Kinoshita**
Hey, Haru-chan.
**[03:13] Haru**
Where's Rikuo?
**[03:15] Kinoshita**
Sorry, he's off work again today.
**[03:17] Haru**
What? It's been three days!
**[03:20] Kinoshita**
Come on, aren't I good enough?
**[03:22] Haru**
Well...
**[03:24] Kinoshita**
"Well"?
**[03:26] Kinoshita**
He's had that cold for a pretty
long time now, though.
**[03:30] Kinoshita**
My shift is killing me now.
**[03:36] Haru**
*Maybe I stalled him a little too long.*
**[03:39] Kinoshita**
If you're worried, you could try calling him.
**[03:41] Haru**
I don't know his phone number.
**[03:43] Kinoshita**
Huh? You don't?
**[03:45] Kinoshita**
That's not like you.
**[03:47] Haru**
I get it. I impose all the time.
**[03:51] Haru**
But I get to see him if I come here.
**[03:54] Kinoshita**
Want me to tell you his phone number?
**[03:59] Haru**
But I should ask him directly.
**[04:01] Kinoshita**
It's fine. You're an exception.
***SIGN*** Nonaka
**[04:32] Rikuo**
It's finally coming down.
**[04:36] Rikuo**
I'm starving.
**[04:45] Rikuo**
Shinako?
**[04:48] Rikuo**
Why...
**[04:49] Shinako**
Fukuda-kun told me you were stuck in bed.
**[04:53] Shinako**
Did you have dinner?
**[04:55] Rikuo**
No.
**[04:56] Shinako**
Then, here.
**[04:58] Shinako**
Simmered vegetables and takikomi rice.
**[05:00] Shinako**
An older man I know is stuck
in bed with a cold, too.
**[05:04] Shinako**
I cooked too much at his place,
so I brought you some.
**[05:07] Rikuo**
Really?
**[05:09] Rikuo**
I really appreciate it.
**[05:12] Shinako**
Have the takikomi rice as soon as you can.
**[05:15] Shinako**
See you.
**[05:20] Rikuo**
Thank you!
**[05:21] Rikuo**
Thank you, too, Fukuda.
**[05:28] Rikuo**
I feel kind of guilty.
**[05:32] Rikuo**
But...
**[05:38] ---**
Those two are alike, somehow.
**[05:52] Haru**
'Sup, Rikuo?
**[05:54] Haru**
All better?
**[05:56] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[05:57] Haru**
Hey, where's Kinoshita-san?
**[06:00] Kinoshita**
Sick with the summer cold.
**[06:03] Haru**
So, anyway...
**[06:07] Haru**
Rikuo, let's go to the movies.
***SIGN*** Namagoras vs. Hitoderan Battle in the Southern Seas

"Namagoras vs. Hitoderan:
Battle in the Southern Seas"?
**[06:16] Haru**
It's not my taste or anything.
**[06:18] Haru**
A customer gave them to me.
**[06:20] Rikuo**
Oh, right, the bar.
**[06:22] Haru**
*What's up with her customers?*
**[06:24] Rikuo**
Let's become one of those weird couples
that goes to watch monster movies.
**[06:32] Haru**
Fine, give them back.
**[06:34] Haru**
It was partly my fault that you got sick.
**[06:38] Haru**
I wanted to make it up to you.
**[06:41] Rikuo**
No, that wasn't your fault.
**[06:44] Haru**
I'll ask someone else.
**[06:46] Haru**
Gimme.
**[06:49] Rikuo**
Who said I wouldn't go?
**[06:52] Haru**
You'll go?!
**[06:53] Haru**
When should we go?
**[06:55] Rikuo**
You're too close.
**[07:10] Haru**
Thank you.
**[07:11] Haru**
See you again.
**[07:20] A**
Damn it.
**[07:21] A**
It ate my 100 yen.
**[07:24] Haru**
Hey, you.
**[07:26] Haru**
Want some leftovers?
**[07:32] A**
Y-You're sure?
**[07:34] Haru**
Sure.
**[07:36] Haru**
I had a good day today.
**[07:38] Haru**
I'm sharing my happiness.
**[07:42] A**
That uniform's from Toizumi High, isn't it?
**[07:47] Haru**
Come to Milk Hall someday.
**[07:54] Haru**
Oh, and if you do, come during the day.
**[08:09] Kyouko**
Thank goodness.
**[08:10] Kyouko**
I don't really watch movies much,
**[08:14] ---**
and I remembered you like movies.
**[08:17] Haru**
I can't picture you watching
a monster movie, Kyouko-san.
**[08:21] Kyouko**
You can go home now.
**[08:22] Kyouko**
It's getting late.
**[08:24] Haru**
Oh, I'm almost finished, anyway.
**[08:27] Kyouko**
Still...
**[08:28] Haru**
I'll be fine. I live close by.
**[08:32] Kyouko**
Hey, your family's home
is in Tokyo, isn't it?
**[08:35] Haru**
It is.
**[08:36] Haru**
About two stations away.
**[08:39] Kyouko**
Why do you live by yourself
if they're so close?
**[08:42] Kyouko**
Do you mind me asking?
**[08:44] Haru**
Well...
**[08:46] Haru**
My grandpa died three years ago,
and his place became available.
**[08:50] Haru**
Also, I took in Kansuke.
**[08:53] Haru**
That, and a bunch of other small things.
**[08:55] Kyouko**
Do your parents know you're working here?
**[08:58] Kyouko**
This place is a café during the day,
but we serve alcohol at night.
**[09:02] Haru**
I haven't, but I'm sure they'd be fine with it.
**[09:07] Haru**
We try our best not to interfere
with each other's lives.
**[09:11] Kyouko**
Aren't your parents lonely?
**[09:15] Haru**
Dunno.
**[09:19] Haru**
Oh, that reminds me...
**[09:21] Haru**
Can I start in the afternoon on Sunday?
**[09:24] Kyouko**
Sure, I don't mind.
**[09:27] Haru**
I have to go see a new character.
**[09:30] Kyouko**
A new character?
***SIGN*** Akimoto Youko Nonaka Haru

**[09:38] Youko**
He was my senpai in college.
**[09:41] Youko**
He teaches English in the
same middle school now.
**[09:47] Haru**
Hi.
**[09:54] Haru**
He seems fine.
**[09:55] Youko**
You think so?
**[09:56] Haru**
I'm relieved he's not like that
creepy mass media type dude.
**[10:02] Youko**
I've forgotten all about that.
It was five years ago.
**[10:06] Youko**
When are you coming home next?
**[10:09] Haru**
I don't know.
**[10:11] Haru**
Hey...
**[10:13] Haru**
Does it bug you that I go
by the last name Nonaka?
**[10:16] Youko**
Not really.
**[10:18] Youko**
That last name suits you well.
**[10:22] Haru**
Okay, see you whenever.
**[10:34] (Flashback) Dad**
Good job writing your name!
***SIGN*** Nonaka Haru
**[10:36] (Flashback) Dad**
Just reading that name gives a sense of peace.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Dad**
Isn't it great?
**[10:59] Rikuo**
What's wrong?
**[11:01] Haru**
Well...
**[11:03] Haru**
I just saw my mom for the
first time in three months.
**[11:06] Haru**
She lectured me so much, my head hurts.
**[11:10] Haru**
It's hard being a delinquent daughter.
**[11:11] Rikuo**
Oh, yeah, your mom's...
**[11:13] Haru**
Hold it.
**[11:15] Haru**
If you say any more, you'll ruin the
image of the mysterious Haru-chan.
**[11:20] Haru**
That's enough for today.
**[11:22] Rikuo**
"Mysterious," my ass.
**[11:24] Haru**
If you're interested, I have
more information coming soon.
**[11:27] Haru**
But nothing's planned.
**[11:29] Haru**
With that, farewell.
**[11:32] Haru**
I'm looking forward to the movie tomorrow.
**[11:37] Rikuo**
What's up with her?
**[11:48] Shinako**
*Morinome here.*
**[11:50] Rikuo**
Hey, it's me, Uozumi.
**[11:52] Rikuo**
Thanks for the food the other day.
**[11:54] Rikuo**
It was awesome.
**[11:56] Rikuo**
So I was wondering what I should
do with the containers.
**[12:00] Shinako**
*You can bring them back any time.*
**[12:03] Rikuo**
You sound a bit weird.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[12:14] Shinako**
I'll be fine, Uozumi-kun.
**[12:17] Shinako**
You might catch what I have.
**[12:20] Rikuo**
I might have given it to you.
**[12:23] Rikuo**
We have to help each other out when in need.
**[12:25] Rikuo**
If your fever doesn't come down by
tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital.
**[12:32] Shinako**
This feels kind of weird.
**[12:36] Shinako**
I've always been on the caregiver side.
**[12:40] Rikuo**
You mean in Kanazawa?
**[12:44] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[12:47] Rikuo**
*She sounds like a widow.*

Hey, come on.
**[14:23] A**
All right, next.
**[14:33] Haru**
* Case one: he forgot about*

*Case two: he just stood me up.*

*Case three...*
***SIGN*** Uozumi-kun,
Thanks for taking care of me yesterday.
My fever's come down, so I'm going to school.
Please leave the key in
the post box or something.
Shinako
**[15:07] Rikuo**
Shit!
**[15:15] Rikuo**
Sorry!
**[15:16] Rikuo**
Sorry!
**[15:34] Rikuo**
I don't even have her phone number.
**[16:07] Rikuo**
Sorry!
**[16:09] Rikuo**
I'm really sorry!
**[16:12] Haru**
I'm so glad.
**[16:18] Haru**
I thought something happened.
**[16:22] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[16:26] Haru**
So, where were you?
**[16:31] Rikuo**
I was at Shinako's apartment.
**[16:35] Rikuo**
No, I mean, she was sick and had a fever,
**[16:41] ---**
so I was just taking care of her.
**[16:44] Rikuo**
She lives on her own, too,
so I couldn't just leave her.
**[16:48] Haru**
I guess I can't complain.
**[16:51] Haru**
I said I wouldn't demand anything.
**[16:54] Haru**
Shinako-sensei has priority.
**[17:03] Rikuo**
Ow!
**[17:08] Haru**
But you didn't need to be so honest about it!
**[17:12] Haru**
Ever heard of a white lie?
**[17:14] Haru**
Think about how I feel, you idiot!
**[17:17] Rikuo**
Hey! Haru!
**[17:31] Rikuo**
That'll be 572 yen.
**[17:34] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[17:39] Haru**
Don't you think it's a bit much?
**[17:42] Haru**
I'm always calm and collected,
but even I was furious.
**[17:48] Kyouko**
That's the tenth time you've
told me about that this week.
**[17:52] Haru**
Is it?
**[17:55] Kyouko**
So are you giving up?
**[18:05] Kyouko**
Take this delivery, please.
**[18:24] Haru**
* I've always kept a certain*
* distance from people*
**[18:27] ---**
*so I could run away as soon as I needed to.*
**[18:30] Haru**
* That's why I never asked*
* Rikuo for his contact.*
**[18:35] Haru**
* I guess, if I stopped going*
* to the convenience store,*
**[18:39] ---**
*that'd be it.*
**[18:44] Haru**
* I have expectations, even though I said*
* I wasn't hoping to get anything out of it.*
**[18:48] Haru**
* That didn't work out, and now*
* I'm here feeling betrayed.*
**[18:53] Haru**
*Relationships are so self-centered.*
**[19:18] Haru**
Still...
**[19:21] Haru**
At least keep a promise, damn it!
**[19:30] Rikuo**
Haru!
**[20:18] Haru**
What?
**[20:20] Rikuo**
How've you been?
**[20:21] Haru**
Seriously?
**[20:24] Rikuo**
Shut up.
**[20:33] Haru**
*I'll eventually run out of places to run.*
**[20:37] Haru**
Nonaka Haru.

Eighteen years old.

**[20:51] Haru**
I work at a place called Milk Hall
in the shopping district over there.
**[20:55] Haru**
And right now, I'm delivering
coffee to the office over there.
**[21:00] Rikuo**
Wh-What's all this?
**[21:02] Haru**
I'm introducing myself.
**[21:05] Haru**
I want you to get to know me.
**[21:08] Haru**
Also, I'm pissed as hell right now
at the guy who stood me up.
**[21:14] Rikuo**
I swear, I regret what I did.
**[21:17] Haru**
Well, fine.
**[21:20] Haru**
I live by myself, too, so you'd better
come take care of me if I get sick.
**[21:26] Rikuo**
If it ever comes to that.
**[21:30] Haru**
Oh, no, I feel kind of feverish.
**[21:33] Haru**
It might be because I was waiting
outside, thanks to a certain someone.
**[21:36] Rikuo**
What?!

fine arts club at school.
**[01:45] Hayakawa**
All the current students
are really good, too.
**[01:48] Hayakawa**
I guess I should have
started from the first year.
**[01:53] Takishita**
If skill is the only thing you want,
**[01:55] ---**
anyone can get there in a year
if they just work at it.
**[02:00] Takishita**
Everyone's desperate to
get good in the beginning.
**[02:04] Takishita**
And then, once you get decent,
it gets kind of boring.
**[02:11] Takishita**
You feel like you're drawing
the same thing everyone else is.
**[02:28] Hayakawa**
I'm home.
**[02:34] Shinako**
Welcome home.
**[02:35] Hayakawa**
Shinako? Why are you here?
**[02:38] Shinako**
My family sent me some veggies from home,
**[02:40] ---**
so I wanted to share some.
**[02:44] Shinako**
But you said you hadn't had dinner, so...
**[02:48] Hayakawa**
Sweet! Good thing I didn't eat out.
**[02:51] Shinako**
Just a second. I'll reheat it.
**[02:54] Hayakawa**
I'll help.
**[03:00] Shinako**
Huh?
**[03:02] Shinako**
Rou-kun, you've gotten taller.
**[03:06] Hayakawa**
I'm a growing boy.
**[03:09] Shinako**
Yuu-kun was 170 centimeters.
**[03:13] Shinako**
You're going to be taller than him soon.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[03:32] Hayakawa**
Thanks for dinner.
**[03:38] Hayakawa**
By the way, how's my dad?
**[03:40] Shinako**
I think he went to bed already.
**[03:43] Shinako**
I heard you come home late
all the time these days.
**[03:47] Hayakawa**
Well...
**[03:49] Shinako**
He told me what you're
going to cram school for.
**[03:54] Hayakawa**
Damn it, Dad...
**[03:56] Shinako**
What's wrong with that?
**[03:58] Shinako**
Why would you hide it?
**[04:01] Hayakawa**
I mean, I don't want to come
across as a try-hard.
**[04:05] Shinako**
You're so weird.
**[04:07] Shinako**
It sounds rough, though.
**[04:10] Shinako**
Art schools are all so competitive.
**[04:13] Hayakawa**
I guess.
**[04:19] Hayakawa**
*Why do I draw?*
**[04:22] Hayakawa**
*When I was in second grade,*
**[04:24] ---**
* a landscape painting I made won a*
* prize in a prefectural competition.*
***SIGN*** Gold Hayakawa Rou
**[04:30] Hayakawa**
*Ever since then, I was always known as*
**[04:34] ---**
*"the kid who can draw" at school.*
**[04:39] (Flashback) Shinako**
You're so good at drawing, Rou-kun.
**[04:42] (Flashback) Shinako**
Even though Yuu-kun's not so good.
**[04:50] Hayakawa**
* Drawing was the one thing*
* I could do better than my brother.*
**[05:02] Hayakawa**
*My brother was promising, but sickly.*
**[05:08] Hayakawa**
*He was always the center of attention.*
**[05:13] Hayakawa**
*As long as I was drawing...*
**[05:24] Hayakawa**
*As long as I was drawing,*
**[05:27] ---**
* people acknowledged me, even though*
* I was always in my brother's shadow.*
**[05:37] Shinako**
Are you going to your parents'
home for the Bon break?
**[05:40] Hayakawa**
No, I have to take courses.
**[05:43] Shinako**
Ah.
**[05:44] Shinako**
I think I'll go home.
**[05:47] Hayakawa**
Yeah? I see.
**[05:54] Shinako**
What's up?
**[05:56] Hayakawa**
No, it's nothing.
**[05:59] Hayakawa**
It's just that you sounded like
Yuu-kun when you said that.
**[06:09] Shinako**
I guess that makes sense.
You're brothers, after all.
**[06:16] Hayakawa**
Shinako...
**[06:19] Hayakawa**
Are you never going to get over my brother?
**[06:26] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[06:29] Hayakawa**
I don't want to see you tied
down to a dead guy forever.
**[06:36] Hayakawa**
But I'd hate it even more if you
looked toward some other guy.
**[06:42] Hayakawa**
I'm not a replica of my brother.
**[06:47] Hayakawa**
I get that I can't replace him,
**[06:49] ---**
and that I'll never be seen as an original.
**[06:54] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[06:55] Hayakawa**
All I can do right now is work
hard the only way I know how,
**[06:59] ---**
until you approve of me.
**[07:04] Hayakawa**
So...
**[07:07] ---**
Just watch me.
**[07:17] Shinako**
I think you're just imagining things.
**[07:22] Shinako**
We've known each other since we were kids.
**[07:25] Shinako**
That makes it seem like we know
each other better than we do.
**[07:31] Shinako**
I can only see you as something
like a kid brother.
**[07:36] Hayakawa**
That doesn't matter!
**[07:39] Shinako**
It does matter.
**[07:43] Hayakawa**
What about you, then?
**[07:49] Hayakawa**
You weren't just imagining
things about my brother?
**[07:52] Hayakawa**
Can you be sure you weren't
confusing sympathy for love?!
**[07:58] Shinako**
I can.
**[08:10] Shinako**
It isn't as though I hadn't thought of that.
**[08:15] Shinako**
It's not like you to talk like that.
**[08:27] Haru**
Hello.
**[08:28] Haru**
Milk Hall here.
**[08:29] Izawa**
Hey, thanks.
**[08:31] Amamiya**
Y'know, you should wear
your apron here next time.
**[08:35] Haru**
No way. That's embarrassing.
**[08:37] Haru**
The costume wasn't even my idea.
**[08:40] Haru**
It's the owner's.
**[08:42] Amamiya**
Really?
**[08:44] Haru**
When I was interviewing for
the job, she was like...
**[08:47] (Flashback) Kyouko**
Could you wear a maid outfit?
**[08:49] Haru**
Seriously.
**[08:51] Izawa**
Yeah, she does have a bit of a girly side.
**[08:56] Haru**
Oh?
**[08:57] Haru**
You sound like you know her well.
**[09:00] A**
He was her classmate in high school.
**[09:04] A**
She shot him down at
the graduation ceremony,
**[09:07] ---**
and he still hasn't gotten over her.
**[09:09] ---**
Really?!
**[09:10] Izawa**
You didn't need to bring that up!
**[09:12] Rou**
Excuse me.
**[09:14] ---**
Don't tell Kyouko we talked about this!
**[09:19] Haru**
Thanks for your patronage.
**[09:25] Amamiya**
Did you need something?
**[09:28] Rou**
I brought my registration form
for the summer courses.
**[09:31] Amamiya**
Oh, okay.
**[09:32] Amamiya**
Work hard.
**[09:34] ---**
I will.
**[10:19] Rou**
What the hell?
**[10:21] Rikuo**
That's my question.
**[10:23] Rikuo**
What do you want, young man?
**[10:25] Rou**
I'm a customer. Treat me like one.
**[10:28] Rou**
It's not like I'm here to see you.
**[10:31] Rou**
This convenience store happens to
be on the way to my cram school.
**[10:35] Rikuo**
You don't get a summer break, huh?
Sucks to be you, high schooler.
**[10:40] Rou**
That's right.
**[10:42] Rou**
I don't want to end up like you.
**[10:48] Rou**
Say that again!
**[10:49] Rikuo**
It's the truth, isn't it?
**[10:51] Haru**
'Sup, Rikuo?
**[10:59] Rikuo**
What, do you know each other?
**[11:01] Haru**
It's more like...
**[11:03] Haru**
He's a customer at Milk Hall.
**[11:06] Haru**
Well, not quite a customer yet...
**[11:08] Rikuo**
Thanks for the coffee the other day.
**[11:10] Haru**
No need for thanks.
**[11:12] Haru**
Just come to my shop someday soon.
**[11:13] Rikuo**
That'll be 110 yen.
**[11:15] Rou**
Huh?
**[11:17] Rikuo**
Hurry up and pay.
**[11:18] Rou**
Is that really how you talk to a customer?
**[11:22] Rou**
Here.
**[11:23] Haru**
Rikuo, when do you get off work?
**[11:26] Haru**
Walk me home.
**[11:27] Rikuo**
You say that like you expect it.
**[11:30] Rikuo**
Why should I have to walk you home?
**[11:32] Haru**
That's harsh!
**[11:34] Haru**
Are you telling a young girl to
walk home on her own at midnight?
**[11:38] Rikuo**
You always go home by yourself.
**[11:40] Haru**
But you walk Shinako-sensei home!
**[11:43] Haru**
Walk me home, too!
**[11:47] Rou**
What? Is *that* the relationship
you have with each other?
**[11:52] Rou**
Seriously? You have a backup?
**[11:55] Rou**
I'm going to rat you out to Shinako.
**[11:57] Rikuo**
N-No!
**[11:59] Rikuo**
This thing's nothing like that!
**[12:00] Haru**
Hey, what do you mean, "this thing"?
**[12:03] Haru**
Wait, so *you're* Rikuo's rival?
**[12:07] Rou**
What?! We're not rivals!
**[12:11] Kinoshita**
Uozumi...
**[12:15] Kinoshita**
Dude, quit wasting time.
**[12:20] Kinoshita**
Get over here and help me out!
**[12:23] Rikuo**
Sorry!
**[12:34] Rou**
Huh...
**[12:35] Rou**
You went to Toizumi High School, too?
**[12:38] Haru**
I dropped out, though.
**[12:43] Rou**
Why?
**[12:45] Haru**
I just got tired of it.
**[12:53] Rou**
What was that about?
**[12:56] Haru**
I mean, Shinako-sensei's so popular.
**[13:00] Haru**
What's the difference between her
and this poor Haru-chan here?
**[13:04] Haru**
This may need a serious investigation.
**[13:10] Rou**
Not that she has any interest in me.
**[13:13] Haru**
Really?
**[13:19] Rou**
As much as I hate it...
**[13:30] Haru**
Hang in there.
**[13:31] Haru**
For my sake, too.
**[13:34] Rou**
What do you even see in that guy?
**[13:38] Haru**
I dunno.
**[13:41] Haru**
I can make it from here.
**[13:43] Haru**
Thanks for walking me home.
**[13:45] Rou**
Uh, hey...
**[13:52] Rou**
A-A crow...
**[13:54] Haru**
His name's Kansuke.
**[13:56] Haru**
See you!
**[14:04] Rou**
Wh-What a weirdo.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[14:31] Rou**
I'm home.

Dad.
**[14:36] Rou**
*Right...*
**[14:38] ---**
*He was going back home today.*
**[14:41] Rou**
*Which means Shinako is, too.*
**[14:49] Shinako**
*Rou-kun,*
**[14:51] Shinako**
*Please reheat the curry in the fridge.*
**[14:55] Shinako**
* And please cook for yourself instead*
* of eating out all the time.*
**[14:58] Shinako**
*From Shinako.*
**[15:00] Rou**
I'm so lucky.
**[15:01] Rou**
Shinako's the best.
**[15:05] Rou**
Chow time.
**[15:12] Rou**
Yum.
**[15:17] Rou**
*She hasn't come to my place since then.*
**[15:21] Rou**
* I guess she'll be back after*
* Bon as if nothing happened.*
**[15:27] Rou**
*Shinako knows my personality well.*
**[15:31] Rou**
* That makes it awkward for me*
* to say "sorry" or "thank you."*
**[15:36] Rou**
*I'm still such a brat.*
**[15:48] (Flashback) Rou**
Shinako!
**[15:50] (Flashback) Rou**
The music's playing.
**[15:51] (Flashback) Rou**
It's going to start soon.
**[15:53] (Flashback) Shinako**
But Yuu-kun is...
**[15:56] (Flashback) Rou**
You promised we'd go to
the festival together.
**[16:02] (Flashback) Shinako**
Yes, but...
**[16:05] (Flashback) Rou**
Forget it!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Shinako**
Wait, Rou-kun!
**[16:15] (Flashback) Shinako**
Rou-kun!
**[16:20] Rou**
*I thought Shinako found work in Tokyo...*
**[16:23] Rou**
*rather, that she left Kanazawa...*
**[16:27] Rou**
*because she was trying to forget my brother.*
**[16:36] Rou**
*But I was wrong.*
**[16:39] Rou**
* She was trying to look away from*
* the reality of life in Kanazawa*
**[16:45] ---**
*without my brother around.*
**[16:56] Shinako**
What's in the box?
**[17:00] Dad**
I'm thinking of renting
this house out next year.
**[17:05] Dad**
It looks like Rou and I will be in
Tokyo for the foreseeable future.

I figure you and I both need
something to help us move on.

I think it's all right to forget now.
**[17:36] Dad**
We can come back like this
once in a while to remember him.
**[17:41] Dad**
That's good enough.
**[17:55] Shinako**
Scribbles...
**[18:06] Rou**
* She wants to escape the reality*
* of my brother's death.*
**[18:10] Rou**
*She doesn't want to forget my brother.*
**[18:15] Rou**
* I think that's why Shinako*
* went home to Kanazawa.*
**[18:24] Rou**
* In the end, it's something*
* Shinako has to deal with herself.*
***SIGN*** Idiot
**[19:05] Rou**
*I can't become my brother.*
***SIGN*** Idiot
**[20:11] Rou**
So what?
**[20:15] Rou**
I can't give up just because
she rejected me once.
**[20:31] Takishita**
Setting skill aside...
**[20:34] Takishita**
I think your art's interesting.
**[20:37] Takishita**
Why do you want to go to art school?
**[20:45] Rou**
I don't have anything else going for me.
**[20:47] Takishita**
Same.
**[20:50] Takishita**
I'm thinking of making "good at drawing"
**[20:54] ---**
my identity goal in college.
**[20:57] Takishita**
Honestly, I don't think art is
something you learn from others.
**[21:02] Takishita**
If a skillful drawing based on proper
knowledge is a "good drawing,"
**[21:06] ---**
my only option is to keep drawing,
whether it's good or dull.
**[21:12] Takishita**
I like drawing, after all.
**[21:15] Takishita**
You do too, don't you, Hayakawa-kun?
**[21:20] Rou**
Stop with the "-kun."
**[21:23] Rou**
We're in the same grade.
**[21:32] Rou**
*Anxiety and indecision...*
**[21:35] Rou**
* Now that I'm serious, I feel like I'm*
* finally at the beginning of my life.*
**[21:40] Rou**
Yeah, right.

**[00:09] Rikuo**
* Aside from working with the exhibits,*
* I'm also doing part-time office work.*
**[00:15] A**
Uozumi-kun, which of these three
photos do you think is the best?
**[00:22] Rikuo**
This one?
**[00:24] A**
Nope.
**[00:26] A**
This one.
**[00:28] A**
It's subtle, but the whites
in this one are overexposed.
**[00:32] A**
This one's too dark.
**[00:39] Rikuo**
*They look the same to me.*
**[00:41] A**
Assessing the photos as they come
out of the lab is part of our job.
**[00:45] A**
Having you able to do that will help me a lot.
**[00:48] Rikuo**
Okay.
**[00:50] A**
All right, go get the rest of the photos for me.
**[00:52] Rikuo**
Yes, sir.
**[00:59] Minato**
Pardon me.
**[01:01] Minato**
I heard you're looking for part-time workers.
**[01:04] Rikuo**
Oh, are you the student
from Toubi University?
**[01:07] Minato**
Yes.
**[01:08] Rikuo**
Okay, I'll be back.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[01:33] Minato**
Sorry for coming in unannounced.
**[01:36] Rikuo**
Nah.
**[01:37] Rikuo**
You're joining the staff here, too, aren't you?
**[01:39] Minato**
Yes.
**[01:40] Minato**
Uozumi-san, was it?
**[01:42] Minato**
The director told me about you.
**[01:44] Minato**
I'm Minato.
**[01:46] Minato**
Nice to meet you.
**[01:47] Rikuo**
You're in college?
**[01:48] Minato**
Yes.
**[01:49] Minato**
I'll be in my second year.
**[01:52] Minato**
Is there any kind of focus to the works here?
**[01:56] Rikuo**
We deal with just about everything,
**[01:59] ---**
but we tend to work with
young photographers a lot.
**[02:08] Haru**
Rikuo!
**[02:10] Haru**
Let's go eat.
**[02:12] Rikuo**
No one said you could come in.
**[02:16] ---**
What?
**[02:17] Haru**
I came here to make sure you're
doing all right at your new job.
**[02:22] Rikuo**
What are you, my mom?
**[02:24] Haru**
Come on, I'm hungry.
**[02:26] Haru**
You still have time until your
convenience store shift, right?
**[02:29] Rikuo**
Let go!
**[02:30] Rikuo**
You're in my way!
**[02:30] Minato**
Nonaka...
**[02:32] Minato**
Nonaka Haru?
**[02:35] Haru**
Um...
**[02:38] Haru**
Have we met somewhere before?
**[02:44] Haru**
Oh, I remember now!
**[02:46] Haru**
You're Minato Kouichi!
**[02:49] Minato**
We were in the same
third-year class in high school.
**[02:53] Minato**
I never really stood out, so...
**[02:56] Haru**
Sorry.
**[02:57] Haru**
I dropped out partway, remember?
**[02:59] Haru**
Plus, you have a beard now.
**[03:01] Haru**
How was I supposed to recognize you?
**[03:04] Rikuo**
What kind of photos do you take, Minato-kun?
**[03:07] Minato**
Documentary photos.
**[03:09] Rikuo**
Do you hope to go into journalism, then?
**[03:11] Minato**
Yes.
**[03:12] Rikuo**
What about portraits or landscapes?
**[03:14] Minato**
I don't take portraits.
**[03:17] Minato**
Portraits push the photographer's
personal sentiments onto the viewer.
**[03:21] Minato**
I don't like them.
**[03:25] Minato**
Landscape photos usually aren't
anything more than pretty.
**[03:28] Minato**
I'm not interested.
**[03:30] Minato**
Documentary photos clearly have
a way of speaking to the viewer.
**[03:34] Haru**
Lightning flip!
**[03:36] Minato**
They have substance.
**[03:39] Minato**
So, Uozumi-san, what kind
of camera do you use?
**[03:45] Rikuo**
What kind?
**[03:46] Rikuo**
I just use the cheap, normal
one I bought in high school.
**[03:49] Minato**
The camera's quality isn't what matters
in a photo, so I think that's fine.
**[03:55] Minato**
I used to be obsessed with
Leicas in the beginning,
**[03:59] ---**
but I'm starting to get a
sense of which ones suit me.
**[04:05] Minato**
Pardon me.
**[04:07] Minato**
I have to get to my next job.
**[04:10] Minato**
Please invite me again some time.
**[04:12] Haru**
Bye-bye.
**[04:16] Minato**
Nonaka-san...
**[04:17] Haru**
Yes?
**[04:19] Minato**
Where do you work?
**[04:21] Rikuo**
He's so damn pretentious!
**[04:24] Rikuo**
I have to work with *him*?
**[04:26] Haru**
Come on, now.
**[04:27] Haru**
He's pretty well-grounded, to be
able to speak his mind to his senior.
**[04:33] Haru**
And he's kind of good-looking, too.
**[04:36] Rikuo**
I don't care about your tastes.
**[04:41] Haru**
Stop complaining and take care of him.
**[04:45] Haru**
You're his big bro, aren't you?
**[04:46] Rikuo**
That's exactly what makes
this such a pain in the ass!
**[04:53] Haru**
Welcome.
**[04:55] Haru**
Huh?
**[04:57] Minato**
Good evening.
**[04:58] Haru**
Minato-kun.
**[05:00] Kyouko**
Your friend, Haru-chan?
**[05:02] Haru**

**[05:06] Haru**
Welcome.
**[05:08] Haru**
On your way home from the gallery?
**[05:10] Rikuo**
I had work at a publishing firm today.
**[05:13] Haru**
This late?
**[05:16] Rikuo**
Publishing firms are nocturnal.
**[05:26] Rikuo**
One blend, please.
**[05:29] Takanori**
Come on, Uozumi.
**[05:32] Takanori**
Let's play mahjong.
**[05:35] Rikuo**
Let go of me!
**[05:36] Rikuo**
I want to go home!
**[05:44] Shinako**
The breeze is so nice.
**[05:48] Rikuo**
I don't see you get drunk very often.
**[05:55] Shinako**
I just sort of felt like drinking today.
**[06:02] Rikuo**
Did something happen?
**[06:06] Shinako**
It's nothing like that.
**[06:10] Shinako**
It's just that once summer
is over, autumn comes.
**[06:15] Shinako**
Then it's winter, and then it's spring.
**[06:22] Shinako**
I just started thinking about that.
**[06:28] Shinako**
In other words,
**[06:32] ---**
I've stopped going around in circles.
**[06:40] Rikuo**
Well, let's get home.
**[06:45] Haru**
Thanks for walking me home.
**[06:49] Minato**
Nah, I was on my way home anyway.
**[06:53] Haru**
Oh, that's right.
**[06:54] Haru**
You've always been like that.
**[06:57] Haru**
I mean, you're kind of quiet.
**[06:59] Minato**
Is that how I come across?
**[07:01] Haru**
Well, I've never talked to you before.
**[07:05] Haru**
You were fighting with Rikuo the other day.
**[07:08] Haru**
That surprised me.
**[07:10] Minato**
I wasn't really trying to fight him.
**[07:12] Minato**
I'm not that gung-ho.
**[07:14] Haru**
Are you sure?
**[07:17] Minato**
Also, we talked once before.
**[07:21] Minato**
At the cultural festival in our second year...
**[07:27] Minato**
What's wrong?
**[07:27] Haru**
Nothing.
**[07:28] Haru**
Let's go.
**[07:30] Shinako**
Nonaka-san?
**[07:33] Rikuo**
Haru?
**[07:36] Haru**
Good evening.
**[07:41] Minato**
Hello.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[07:52] Shinako**
We were out drinking with
our friends from college.
**[07:56] Shinako**
W-We're just on our way home.
**[07:58] Haru**
Oh, yeah?
**[08:01] Shinako**
*I hope Nonaka-san didn't get the wrong idea.*
**[08:05] Rikuo**
Later.
**[08:07] Haru**
Let's go, Minato-kun.
**[08:10] Rikuo**
*Why is* he *with Haru?*
**[08:13] Rikuo**
*I mean, not that it matters to me...*
**[08:17] Haru**
*Why didn't he ask about Minato-kun?*
**[08:20] Haru**
*Is it because he's with Shinako-sensei?*
**[08:22] Haru**
*Or because he doesn't care?*
**[08:26] Haru**
*Either way, it pisses me off.*
**[08:31] Haru**
Come with me.

**[08:41] Minato**
That was Morinome-sensei, wasn't it?
**[08:44] Minato**
Is she acquainted with Uozumi-san?
**[08:46] Haru**
Yeah.
**[08:47] Haru**
They were in the same year
in college, apparently.
**[08:56] Minato**
I was under the impression
that he was dating you.
**[08:59] Haru**
Rikuo and Shinako-sensei
aren't going out or anything.
**[09:08] Haru**
It wasn't my plan to become a woman
who doesn't know when to give up.
**[09:14] Minato**
There's nothing you can do about it.
**[09:16] Minato**
The one who falls in love
loses in these situations.
**[09:19] Haru**
Exactly! That's exactly it!
**[09:23] Haru**
Are you in a relationship
with anyone, Minato-kun?
**[09:31] Minato**
I had a crush back in high school.
**[09:34] Minato**
We ran into each other again recently,
**[09:36] ---**
but she's already in love with someone else.
**[09:39] Haru**
Oh, yeah? We're the same, then.
**[09:42] Haru**
I feel a little better.
**[09:46] Minato**
*She's so dense.*
**[09:49] Haru**
Thanks for hanging out with me today.
**[09:52] Haru**
That was a good distraction.
**[09:55] Minato**
Thanks for the drink, too.
**[09:58] Haru**
I live nearby, so I'll be fine from here.
**[10:01] Haru**
See you!
**[10:07] (Flashback) Haru**
Hey...
**[10:09] (Flashback) Haru**
Can I have this photo?
**[10:13] (Flashback) Haru**
This one.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Minato**
Sure, I guess.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Haru**
Thanks! Bye!
**[10:25] Minato**
*We ended up in the same third-year class,*
**[10:29] Minato**
* but I never understood why Nonaka-san*
* wanted such a lonely-looking photo.*
**[10:38] Minato**
I didn't think I'd ever see her again.
**[10:42] A**
All right, I'm going to a meeting.
**[10:45] A**
You guys hold down the fort.
**[10:47] A**
Also, both of you ought to
submit something for this.

**[11:04] Minato**
Uozumi-san, are you dating Morinome-sensei?
**[11:12] Rikuo**
Did Haru tell you that?
**[11:14] Minato**
No.
**[11:17] Rikuo**
There's nothing between us.
**[11:19] Minato**
Then what about Nonaka-san?
**[11:23] Minato**
How do you feel about Nonaka-san?
**[11:27] Rikuo**
What? Well...
**[11:29] Rikuo**
W-We're friends, I guess.
**[11:34] Rikuo**
A-Anyway, what are you going to do
for the competition coming up?
**[11:39] Minato**
The one here?
**[11:40] Minato**
I'm not competing.
**[11:42] Minato**
When I submit a piece, it'll be at the
appropriate time and the appropriate place.
**[11:49] Rikuo**
*This kid...*
**[11:56] Haru**
Hey! Heading home?
**[11:59] Rikuo**
Yeah, that's right.
**[12:01] Haru**
Let's get something to eat, then.
**[12:04] Rikuo**
I'm going home.
**[12:07] Haru**
What? But I was waiting for you.
**[12:09] Haru**
You could at least walk home with me.
**[12:12] Rikuo**
Why don't you walk home with that other guy?
**[12:17] Haru**
Say what? You mean Minato-kun?
**[12:20] Haru**
Are you upset about what
happened the other day?
**[12:25] Rikuo**
Not at all.
**[12:26] Rikuo**
It has nothing to do with me.
**[12:30] Haru**
What the hell?!
**[12:33] Haru**
You're so annoying!
**[13:07] Kyouko**
Minato-kun's here every day lately.
**[13:11] Haru**
He is.
**[13:13] Kyouko**
He doesn't seem like a coffee lover.
**[13:15] Kyouko**
He uses lots of milk and sugar.
**[13:18] Haru**
What are you trying to say?
**[13:21] Kyouko**
I wonder what the coffee's an excuse for.
**[13:32] Haru**
Ten points deducted.
**[13:35] Haru**
'Sup?
**[13:37] Rikuo**
Oh, it's you.
**[13:39] Haru**
What do you mean, "Oh, it's you"?
**[13:53] Haru**
The gallery, the convenience store...
**[13:55] Haru**
You're working so hard.
What's gotten into you?
**[13:58] Rikuo**
Nothing.
**[14:00] Haru**
I heard from Kinoshita-san
**[14:02] ---**
that there's something expensive
you're trying to buy, Uozumi-san.
**[14:06] Rikuo**
Huh?
**[14:07] Haru**
Could it be...
**[14:09] Haru**
Something that costs about
three months' worth of wages?
**[14:12] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:13] Haru**
Our engagement ring!
**[14:16] Rikuo**
What?!
**[14:24] Haru**
I'm going to work now.
**[14:26] Haru**
Later.
**[14:28] Haru**
Oh, and my ring size is 15!
**[14:42] Haru**
Bye.
**[14:45] Haru**
Thanks for waiting.
**[15:00] Haru**
Sorry for making you walk
me home all the time.
**[15:04] Minato**
Don't worry about it.
**[15:06] Minato**
I'm on my way home, anyway.
**[15:09] Haru**
*Is this weird?*
**[15:11] Haru**
*This situation isn't weird, is it?*
**[15:13] Haru**
* No, I probably don't need*
* to think too much about it.*
**[15:17] Minato**
That crow's always with you, huh?
**[15:21] Haru**
Oh, him?
**[15:23] Haru**
I kept feeding him, and he got attached to me.
**[15:27] Haru**
Do you have any pets, Minato-kun?
**[15:29] Minato**
I used to have a huge mixed
breed dog at my parents' place.
**[15:35] Minato**
When we first got it,
**[15:37] ---**
I couldn't get used to the fact
that it was bigger than me.
**[15:40] Minato**
But as I fed it and walked it and
hung out with it all the time,
**[15:45] ---**
I realized that was all right, too.
**[15:48] Haru**
Like, it grew on you?
**[15:51] Minato**
I realized it wasn't a bad
way to build a relationship.
**[16:00] Haru**
I guess that's a thing that happens.
**[16:07] Minato**
If it's all right with you...
**[16:10] Minato**
Could we hang out together all day tomorrow?
**[16:17] Haru**
I came here on a field trip
in elementary school.
**[16:21] Haru**
We got to tour that boat, too.
**[16:24] Minato**
Same here.
**[16:26] Minato**
I begged my parents to buy me
a plastic model of it to build.
**[16:31] Haru**
It's been a while since I saw the sea.
**[16:34] Minato**
It's a bit cold this time of the year.
**[16:39] Minato**
I come here occasionally.
**[16:42] Minato**
Sometimes, when I have something to think
about or feel down about something,
**[16:46] ---**
I'm here all day.
**[16:49] Haru**
You only brought your
instant camera with you?
**[16:51] Haru**
Where's your bigger one?
**[16:55] Minato**
This camera takes fun photos sometimes.
**[16:58] Minato**
I was in the mood for this one today.
**[17:07] Haru**
There's nothing but seagulls
around this time of year.
**[17:13] Minato**
Nonaka-san...
**[17:15] Haru**
Yeah?
**[17:19] Minato**
Would you please go out with me?
**[17:34] Minato**
I'm sure you've kind of noticed,
**[17:37] Minato**
but you didn't seem to hate
me for it much, either.
**[17:43] Minato**
Of course, I know you like Uozumi-san.
**[17:50] Haru**
Rikuo's an asshole.
**[17:54] Haru**
He doesn't think about how I feel.
**[17:59] Haru**
He think I'm settling for being the backup.
**[18:04] Haru**
I hate that bastard!
**[18:14] Haru**
I always worry that I might end up
never being more than the backup.
**[18:21] Haru**
But I think I'll regret it if I give up.
**[18:26] Haru**
Even if I never end up being his number one.
**[18:29] Haru**
I just kind of fell in love with him
by accident, so I can't help it now.
**[18:33] Haru**
I have to take it as far as I can,
or I'll have been lying to myself.
**[18:39] Haru**
So...
**[18:40] Haru**
I'm sorry.
**[18:46] Minato**
It's okay.
**[18:47] Minato**
I knew the answer.
**[18:50] Minato**
Now I have nothing left to regret.
**[18:56] Minato**
I quit college.
**[18:59] Minato**
I've been thinking this whole time...
**[19:02] Minato**
I went to college, found work
through my seniors, and learned a lot,
**[19:08] ---**
but it just didn't click for me.
**[19:10] Minato**
I want to get closer to the
photos that I want to take.
**[19:16] Minato**
If I don't act now, I might end up
stuck for the rest of my life.
**[19:22] Haru**
What are you going to do now?
**[19:25] Minato**
I'm going to leave Japan with my
camera and wander for a while.
**[19:32] Minato**
I knew I'd regret it if I never told you
**[19:36] ---**
that I've liked you since high school.
**[19:51] Minato**
It's getting cold.
**[19:54] Minato**
Should we head home?
**[19:57] Minato**
Thanks for hanging out with me today.
**[20:01] Minato**
Can we part ways here?
**[20:03] Haru**
Yeah.
**[20:04] Minato**
Okay, bye.
**[20:05] Haru**
Hey, give me a hand shake.
**[20:13] Minato**
See you around someday.

**[21:06] A**
I heard you bought a new camera.
**[21:08] Rikuo**
Oh, director.
**[21:10] Rikuo**
It's second-hand, though.
**[21:13] A**
Take lots of pictures.
**[21:15] Rikuo**
I will.
**[21:18] Haru**
I see.
**[21:20] Haru**
Let's see what you submitted.
**[21:25] Haru**
This is a nice photo.
**[21:27] Haru**
He looks better than in real life.
**[21:30] Haru**
Even though you didn't win.
**[21:37] Haru**
I guess it depends on the model.
**[21:39] Rikuo**
Shut up.

**[00:36] Chika**
Hey.
**[00:40] Chika**
I've lived in this area for a while.
**[00:43] Chika**
I never knew you worked at the
convenience store, though.
**[00:48] Rikuo**
Have we met before?
**[00:51] Chika**
Oh, right, I dyed my hair.
**[00:56] Chika**
We were in the same
second-year class in high school.
**[00:58] Chika**
Yuzuhara Chika.
**[01:03] Chika**
Do you remember now?
**[01:05] Rikuo**
I remembered that I didn't want to remember.
**[01:09] Chika**
Good.
**[01:10] Chika**
I'm actually in a bit of a bind.
**[01:12] Chika**
I haven't been keeping up with
rent, and I got kicked out.
**[01:16] Chika**
It can't be a coincidence that
we bumped into each other.
**[01:19] Chika**
Would you mind giving me a place
to stay, just for tonight?

**[01:45] (Flashback) Chika**
You never did understand me.
**[02:01] ---**
What?
**[02:02] Rikuo**
You know Yuzuhara?
**[02:03] Kinoshita**
I've never talked to her, though.
**[02:06] Kinoshita**
She was a member in one
of my buddies' bands.
**[02:08] Kinoshita**
I've seen her here a few times, too.
**[02:11] Rikuo**
Really?
**[02:13] Kinoshita**
I think she had a nickname...
**[02:17] Kinoshita**
The Great Destroyer.
**[02:20] Kinoshita**
Every band she joined ended up falling
apart over relationship drama.
**[02:25] Kinoshita**
They all disbanded over it.
**[02:28] Rikuo**
I think I can see that.
**[02:31] Rikuo**
She was a diligent student in high school,
working on committees and stuff.
**[02:35] Rikuo**
Then stories about her started going around,
**[02:38] ---**
and by the time she graduated, there
was even a victims 'association for her.
**[02:42] Rikuo**
I have no idea why she dumped me back then.
**[02:46] Kinoshita**
I'm amazed, though.
**[02:48] Kinoshita**
There's the pretty lady you have
a crush on, there's Haru-chan,
**[02:51] ---**
and now you've run into your ex.
**[02:55] Kinoshita**
Why don't you get back together with her?
**[02:57] Rikuo**
Why are you enjoying this so much?
**[02:59] Kinoshita**
Because it's not my problem.
**[03:03] Kinoshita**
That was in the past.
**[03:06] Kinoshita**
And she left this time, too.
**[03:13] Shinako**
Sorry to make you do this for me.
**[03:17] Rikuo**
Too late.
**[03:19] Rikuo**
I'm pretty sure I know your wiring
better than I know my own now.
**[03:27] Shinako**
I guess I had you do it every time
I moved when we were in school.
**[03:31] Rikuo**
What happened to that kid?
**[03:33] Rikuo**
Isn't this a job for him?
**[03:36] Shinako**
You mean Rou-kun?
**[03:38] Shinako**
I wouldn't feel right using my
students to do my grunt work.
**[03:42] Rikuo**
I see.
**[03:44] Rikuo**
Well, I wouldn't mind helping out with
your cables whenever you need it.
**[03:50] Shinako**
Okay. Thanks.
**[03:52] ---**
Sure.
**[04:07] Rikuo**
The door's unlocked.
**[04:14] Chika**
Welcome home.
**[04:16] Chika**
I just finished making dinner.
**[04:19] Rikuo**
How did you get in?
**[04:21] Chika**
The usual way.
**[04:23] Chika**
There was a spare key by the door.
**[04:25] Chika**
I borrowed it on my way out.
**[04:29] Chika**
Ta-da!
**[04:30] Chika**
I made it using the leftovers
that were in the fridge.
**[04:35] Chika**
Oh, and I bought the stuff
in the miso soup myself.
**[04:42] Chika**
I sautéed some of the vegetables
that were the fridge.
**[04:46] Chika**
And the eggs were nearly
expired, so I used all of them.
**[04:50] Rikuo**
Eggs with green onions, huh?
**[04:54] Chika**
Like it?
**[04:55] Rikuo**
It's good.
**[04:58] Rikuo**
It is, but...
**[05:00] Rikuo**
Do you plan on squatting here?
**[05:01] Chika**
I hope to be in your care.
**[05:03] Rikuo**
I won't allow it!
**[05:04] Chika**
Just a month.
**[05:06] Chika**
No, just three weeks.
**[05:08] Chika**
I found a job, too.
**[05:09] Chika**
I'll leave as soon as I get my pay.
**[05:15] Rikuo**
What kind of job?
**[05:17] Chika**
Playing piano at reception halls and stuff.
**[05:20] Rikuo**
Yeah? I guess you were good at piano.
**[05:25] Rikuo**
So, why me?
**[05:28] Chika**
I don't have many girl friends or anything,
**[05:31] Chika**
And my other exes have girlfriends.
**[05:34] Rikuo**
What if I have one?
**[05:36] Chika**
You don't. I can tell from
the way your room looks.
**[05:40] Chika**
Come on, please?
**[05:43] Chika**
Your ex-girlfriend is in a pinch. Help me out.
**[05:48] Rikuo**
You dumped me after just four months.
**[06:02] Shinako**
*I rely on him whenever it's convenient.*
**[06:05] (Flashback) Haru**
That's not fair, trying to be friends.

**[07:20] Chika**
Just a second.
**[07:21] Chika**
I'll get all this cleaned up.
**[07:36] Chika**
I wouldn't mind.
**[07:40] Chika**
But I have to turn off the stove.
**[07:46] Chika**
Wait, Uozumi...
**[07:48] Chika**
What's wrong?
**[07:52] Chika**
I think you have a fever.
**[07:57] Chika**
You hold your liquor pretty
well, Morinome-sensei.
**[08:01] Chika**
Have one more.
**[08:01] A**
What about that person from
work you were talking about?
**[08:02] Shinako**
I think I should stop, Morita-sensei.
**[08:04] ---**
Not a chance.
**[08:05] Chika**
Oh, come on.
**[08:07] A**
What about you, Morinome-sensei?
**[08:08] Shinako**
Huh?
**[08:09] Shinako**
I don't have anyone.
**[08:11] A**
Oh, please!
**[08:12] Shinako**
I really don't.
**[08:13] B**
You aren't going home until
you tell us the truth.
**[08:17] Shinako**
Please stop refilling my glass...
**[08:28] Chika**
I think you should go to the hospital.
**[08:32] Rikuo**
I don't like hospitals.
**[08:34] Chika**
It's not the hospitals, is it?
**[08:36] Chika**
It's the needles.
**[08:37] Chika**
You've always been that way.
**[08:40] Rikuo**
Why do you remember all the stupid stuff?
**[08:44] Chika**
I made some congee. Can you eat?
**[08:49] Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[08:50] Chika**
I'll have some, too.
**[08:52] Rikuo**
What's the red stuff?
**[08:54] Chika**
Pickled plum.
**[08:56] Chika**
I thought it'd give it a refreshing touch.
**[09:07] Rikuo**
I never knew you were good
at cooking, Mizuhara.
**[09:11] Chika**
I learned to cook when
I started living by myself.
**[09:16] Rikuo**
I'm surprised those parents of
yours let you live on your own.
**[09:20] Chika**
They didn't.
**[09:22] Chika**
I half left by force.
**[09:25] Chika**
Who could tolerate being given
a 7:00 curfew as a grown-up?
**[09:30] Rikuo**
A bit late for your
rebellious phase, isn't it?
**[09:32] Chika**
Say what you will.
**[09:34] Chika**
But I have a job now, thanks to
them forcing me to learn piano.
**[09:41] Chika**
Ironic, isn't it?
**[09:46] Chika**
Do you want to be a photographer, Uozumi?
**[09:54] Rikuo**
It's not like you can become
one just because you want to.
**[10:01] Chika**
I see.
**[10:06] Shinako**
Seriously, they were all dogging on me.
**[10:09] (Flashback) B**
You're in love with your late lover!
**[10:12] (Flashback) A**
That's so pure.
**[10:15] (Flashback) Shinako**
He wasn't my lover or anything.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Shinako**
I just had a crush on him.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Morita**
Wait a second.
**[10:22] (Flashback) ---**
Do you mean to say you've never
been in a relationship before?
**[10:30] (Flashback) Shinako**
Is that so bad?
**[10:37] (Flashback) Shinako**
Is that so bad?!
**[10:39] Shinako**
I don't care.
**[10:40] Shinako**
I'm just getting started.
**[10:42] Shinako**
I've decided I'm going to be more positive.
**[10:47] Shinako**
Huh?
**[10:48] Shinako**
How did I end up here?
**[10:53] Shinako**
*I wonder if Uozumi-kun's here.*
**[10:57] Haru**
Shinako-sensei!
**[11:00] Shinako**
Nonaka-san.
**[11:02] Haru**
You're here for Rikuo, right?
**[11:04] Shinako**
No, actually...
**[11:05] Haru**
Well, come on, let's go in!
**[11:07] Shinako**
Hey!
**[11:09] Haru**
He's sick?
**[11:10] Kinoshita**
From how he sounded on the phone, I don't
think he's coming in tomorrow, either.
**[11:15] Kinoshita**
He's always been tough, though.
**[11:17] Kinoshita**
I think he'll be fine.
**[11:21] Haru**
Shucks.
**[11:22] Haru**
It's been a while since I've seen him.
**[11:24] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun doesn't take good care of himself.
**[11:26] Shinako**
I hope he can recover quickly.
**[11:30] Haru**
Hey, Sensei...
**[11:40] Chika**
Look at your defenseless face.
**[11:43] Chika**
You're so eager to please people.
**[11:45] Chika**
I worry about you.
**[11:58] Chika**
Who could be here so late at night?
**[12:05] Chika**
Yes?
**[12:11] Chika**
Um...
**[12:13] Chika**
Uozumi's in bed sick.
**[12:16] Shinako**
Um... Who are you?
**[12:20] Chika**
I'm just a freeloader.
**[12:22] Shinako**
I... see...
**[12:25] Shinako**
We came to see how he's doing,
but we'll just go, then.
**[12:29] Shinako**
Let's go, Nonaka-san.
**[12:31] ---**
Uh...
**[12:33] Chika**
You could have come in.
**[12:41] Haru**
Who was that?
**[12:43] Shinako**
Dunno.
**[12:44] Shinako**
A freeloader, she said.
**[12:45] Haru**
What the hell? Since when?!
**[12:48] Haru**
He never even told us about it!
**[12:50] Shinako**
Well, it's not like we're dating him.
**[12:53] Haru**
I know, but...
**[12:55] Haru**
How are you so calm about this, Sensei?
**[12:58] Haru**
He's cheating on us!
**[13:01] Shinako**
I've turned him down already, though.
**[13:04] Shinako**
I can't blame him.
**[13:07] Shinako**
What can you do? The heart is a fickle thing.
**[13:13] Haru**
Sensei...
**[13:18] Rikuo**
They were both here?
**[13:20] Chika**
They didn't want to bother you,
so they left right away.
**[13:23] Chika**
You have some cute girl friends. Good job.
**[13:28] Chika**
Okay, I'm off.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[13:40] Kinoshita**
Dude, you're still letting her stay?
**[13:44] Rikuo**
What the hell do I do?!
**[13:48] Haru**
Is Rikuo here?
**[13:50] Kinoshita**
Uh, no, he's not in today,
but I think he's all better now.
**[13:56] Kinoshita**
Do you want me to give him a message?
**[14:06] Haru**
Good day, sir.
**[14:08] Haru**
Is there anything you want to tell me?
**[14:11] Rikuo**
C-Calm down.
**[14:17] Haru**
Your ex, huh?
**[14:21] Rikuo**
That was in the past.
**[14:24] Haru**
I still don't like it!
**[14:26] Haru**
Tell her to leave!
**[14:29] Rikuo**
I can't kick her out now.
**[14:32] Haru**
See?! You're already attached to her!
**[14:35] Rikuo**
That's not it.
**[14:38] Rikuo**
What does it matter to you, anyway?
**[14:47] Haru**
You idiot!
**[14:49] Haru**
Drop dead, Rikuo!
**[14:57] Kinoshita**
You alive?
**[15:03] Rikuo**
H-Hey.
**[15:06] Rikuo**
You weren't home when I called you, so...
**[15:09] Shinako**
Hey, Uozumi-kun.
**[15:10] Shinako**
Are you feeling better now?
**[15:12] Rikuo**
U-Um...
**[15:14] Rikuo**
I heard you came over last night, and... uh...
**[15:17] Shinako**
What do you mean?
**[15:18] Shinako**
I went drinking with the other teachers
last night, then went straight home.
**[15:23] Rikuo**
Huh? Um...
**[15:26] Rikuo**
Shinako-san?
**[15:39] Chika**
Are you still feeling sick?
**[15:42] Rikuo**
No, not really.
**[15:45] Rikuo**
*I brought this upon myself.*
**[15:49] Chika**
I bought this mackerel whole
and filleted it myself.
**[15:53] Chika**
It's hard separating the meat from the bone.
**[15:57] Chika**
Food just tastes better when
you eat with someone else, huh?
**[16:05] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[16:07] Rikuo**
This feels weird, though.
**[16:10] Rikuo**
We never ate together at a table
like this when we were dating.
**[16:16] Chika**
Oh, yeah, you're right.
**[16:19] Rikuo**
Remember how you said...
**[16:22] ---**
I never understood you?
**[16:28] Rikuo**
That came out of left field at the time,
**[16:32] ---**
but now, I think you might have been right.
**[16:40] Chika**
I'm not still hoping you'll
understand me or anything.
**[16:44] Chika**
Besides, that didn't really
mean anything at the time.
**[16:47] Chika**
I just wanted a reason to break up
because I'd found another guy.
**[16:51] Rikuo**
Why are you always so sloppy
about those things?
**[16:56] Chika**
Because I'm in my rebellious phase?
**[16:59] Chika**
Just kidding.
**[17:01] Chika**
That's not it.
**[17:04] Chika**
In the end,
**[17:06] ---**
I just want to be liked.
**[17:09] Chika**
I have a hard time saying no
when someone says they like me.
**[17:13] Chika**
There's probably a screw loose in my head.
**[17:18] Chika**
I've never been one to fall in love
or get deeply invested in anything.
**[17:28] Rikuo**
You say that, but you're popular,
**[17:31] ---**
you did well at school, and you can play piano.
**[17:34] Chika**
Jack of all trades, master of none.
**[17:44] Shinako**
*Why am I angry?*
**[18:16] Chika**
Hello.
**[18:18] Chika**
Did you want to talk to Uozumi?
**[18:19] Chika**
You could come in and wait for him.
**[18:22] Shinako**
N-No.
**[18:24] Shinako**
Excuse me.
**[18:27] Chika**
Hang on a second.
**[18:30] Chika**
Do you have the wrong idea?
**[18:36] Chika**
Like I said, I'm just a freeloader.
**[18:39] Chika**
There's definitely, positively,
absolutely nothing between us.
**[18:46] Chika**
Sorry.
**[18:48] Chika**
I was totally under the impression
that he wouldn't have a girlfriend.
**[18:51] Shinako**
No, I'm not.
**[18:53] Shinako**
I'm his friend from college.
**[18:56] Shinako**
I'm not his girlfriend or anything.
**[18:59] Chika**
So you're his crush, then.
**[19:04] Shinako**
Well... I don't know what to say to that.
**[19:17] Chika**
Do you mind if I smoke?
**[19:18] Shinako**
Go ahead.
**[19:25] Chika**
He's just a nice guy. That's all.
**[19:29] Chika**
He's always been that way.
**[19:32] Chika**
It wasn't a coincidence that I met
him at the convenience store, either.
**[19:35] Chika**
I knew he worked there from talking
with my high school friends.
**[19:39] Chika**
I knew he would help me out if I asked.
**[19:44] Chika**
That's all.
**[19:46] Chika**
That really is all it is.
**[19:52] Chika**
I don't want things to
get ruined because of me.
**[20:01] Kinoshita**
What's up with all the sighing?
**[20:05] Kinoshita**
It's so annoying.
**[20:07] Rikuo**
Can you blame me?
**[20:10] Kinoshita**
You're lucky she's angry, though.
**[20:15] Kinoshita**
If you ask me, you've got it too good.
**[20:59] Rikuo**
I'm home.
**[21:01] Rikuo**
Huh?
**[21:04] Rikuo**
Where'd she go off to?
**[21:15] Chika**
*To Uozumi.*
**[21:16] Chika**
*I know this is sudden,*
**[21:18] ---**
* but I've been formally employed as a pianist,*
* and I got an advance on my pay, so I'm leaving.*
**[21:24] Chika**
*It was only a short while, but thanks.*
**[21:27] Chika**
* P.S. It seems that even though*
* I'm a slob, I love the piano.*
**[21:33] Chika**
*Hang in there, Uozumi.*
**[21:38] Rikuo**
She's so selfish.

**[00:04] Haru**
Hi.
**[00:05] Haru**
Can I get this deluxe mix okonomiyaki,
**[00:08] ---**
cheese and pork double topping,
a butter-sautéed giant scallop side,
**[00:13] ---**
thick-cut smoked bacon,
soy sauce buttered mushrooms,
**[00:17] ---**
crunchy sardine mustard greens
salad, and an oolong tea?
**[00:20] Haru**
Oh, and the fried apple topped
with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
**[00:23] Haru**
What about you?
**[00:27] Haru**
Well?
**[00:28] Rikuo**
I'll have... the pork and egg okonomiyaki.
**[00:31] A**
All right.
**[00:33] Haru**
So I'm here because you insisted
on treating me to dinner.
**[00:38] Haru**
Why, though?
**[00:39] Rikuo**
No, I mean, you...
**[00:44] Rikuo**
Never mind.
**[00:47] Rikuo**
I won't be at the gallery starting next week.
**[00:50] Haru**
You got fired?
**[00:52] Rikuo**
No.
**[00:54] Rikuo**
The director hooked me up
with a job at a photo studio.
**[00:59] Rikuo**
I've never studied photography before,
**[01:02] ---**
so I don't know if I'm cut out for it.
**[01:05] Rikuo**
But I'll give it a try.
**[01:10] Haru**
Ma'am, can we get two beers with that?
**[01:12] Rikuo**
Hold on!
**[01:14] Haru**
It's on me today. Don't worry about it.
**[01:18] Rikuo**
You're underage!

I think you're better

You'll have a hard time going back to

I'm more comfortable with my

I don't think it helps to panic, though.

Never mind that.

Hang on a second.

You can do it tomorrow.

Otherwise, I'll be really busy tomorrow.

You don't want to go with me.

Not really.
**[03:26] Shinako**
Take it easy, okay?
**[03:27] Shinako**
You tend to push yourself too hard.
**[03:30] Shinako**
Like getting only two hours of sleep

**[03:34] Rou**
You're right.
**[03:37] Shinako**
Try to relax a little more.
**[03:39] Shinako**
You're fine just the way you are.
**[03:43] Rou**
What do you mean, the way I am?
**[03:47] Rou**
What am I, anyway?
**[03:49] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[03:50] Rou**
I applied for the high
school you graduated from.
**[03:53] Rou**
I took the exam to transfer to this school.
**[03:55] Rou**
Why do you think I'm doing all that?
**[03:58] Rou**
It's all to try to catch up to you!
**[04:02] Rou**
I need to find my own path
quickly and become someone.
**[04:06] Rou**
I thought if I could do that,
you'd stop treating me like a kid.
**[04:13] Rou**
How can you be so insensitive?
**[04:17] Rou**
I guess you really don't expect
anything of me, are you?
**[04:31] Kinoshita**
Yo.
**[04:33] Kinoshita**
You have a guest.
**[04:35] Kinoshita**
It's that pretty lady.

Are you heading home from

**[04:46] Shinako**
Nah.
**[04:47] Shinako**
I worked overtime at school,
and then I went shopping and stuff.
**[04:52] Shinako**
I haven't gone to Rou-kun's place lately.
**[04:56] Shinako**
We had a fight.
**[04:58] Rikuo**
Yeah?
**[04:59] Rikuo**
You don't get into fights very often.
**[05:02] Shinako**
To be accurate, I angered him.
**[05:06] Shinako**
I don't think it's going to
be easy to fix this time.
**[05:09] Rikuo**
I don't think you need to worry about it.
**[05:12] Rikuo**
You've known each other since you were kids.
**[05:14] Rikuo**
You're like siblings, right?
**[05:17] Shinako**
That's why it's so tough.
**[05:21] Shinako**
I want things to be the
way they've always been.
**[05:25] Shinako**
I think Rou-kun's just falling for an illusion.
**[05:29] Shinako**
I'm sure he'll come to his senses someday.
**[05:34] Shinako**
But I don't know how to keep
the right distance with him.
**[05:39] Rikuo**
You're being overprotective.
**[05:41] Rikuo**
He wants to stress himself out, so let him.
**[05:44] Rikuo**
That's the best thing to do for him.
**[05:46] Rikuo**
I'm sure he knows by now
**[05:48] ---**
that life doesn't always go the way you want.
**[05:51] Rikuo**
He's not as much of a kid as you think he is.
**[05:56] Rikuo**
So you don't need to get
so worked up about it.
**[06:16] Dad**
Here. Pickles from Kanazawa.
**[06:18] Dad**
I bought some for you, too.
**[06:21] Shinako**
Thank you, sir.
**[06:24] Rou**
I'm home.
**[06:27] Shinako**
Welcome home.
**[06:32] Dad**
Well, then, I should go to bed.
**[06:35] Dad**
Why are you just standing there, Rou?
**[06:39] Shinako**
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
**[06:41] Shinako**
I'll warm up the stew.
**[06:43] Rou**
Uh... okay.
**[06:48] Shinako**
There's mizu yokan in the fridge.
**[06:51] Shinako**
Have some later.
**[06:53] Rou**
Sure.
**[07:06] Rou**
Sorry about the other day.
**[07:08] Shinako**
Me, too.
**[07:10] Shinako**
I should have thought it through more.
**[07:12] Rou**
You didn't do anything wrong.
**[07:15] Rou**
I was getting too impatient.
**[07:18] Rou**
I've been watching you in the
kitchen ever since I was a kid.
**[07:25] Rou**
I want to be able to see this forever.
**[07:29] Rou**
That's not going to change.
**[07:33] Rou**
I'm not little Rou-kun.
**[07:36] Rou**
But... we aren't getting any closer.
**[07:44] Shinako**
I'm watching you.
**[07:48] Shinako**
I'll be watching who you become.

Make me a rolled omelet.

There's fried eggplant, too.

**[08:22] Rou**
Then, what? Did I just get rejected?
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[08:38] A**
Damn, Magician again.
**[08:40] ---**
Huh? Hey...
**[08:41] A**
Crap, crap...
**[08:48] A**
How are things with Shinako lately?
**[08:52] Rikuo**
What am I supposed to tell you?
**[08:54] Rikuo**
Nothing's changed since then.
**[08:56] Rikuo**
I got rejected by her already.
**[09:00] Rikuo**
So I'm waiting on her to make a move.
**[09:03] Rikuo**
I'm friendzoned, I guess.
**[09:08] A**
Shinako seems way below the curve when it
comes to dating, even though she's attractive.
**[09:12] A**
And you seem weirdly reserved toward her.
**[09:16] A**
It'll never go anywhere if you keep waiting.
**[09:21] A**
That aside, I heard you started
working at a photo studio.
**[09:25] A**
How's that?
**[09:27] Rikuo**
There's so much to learn.
**[09:29] Rikuo**
It's fun for sure...
**[09:32] Rikuo**
But the amount of work is a bit brutal.
**[09:35] A**
Why don't you quit the convenience
store and focus on just that job?
**[09:42] Rikuo**
Maybe.
**[09:44] A**
Maybe your reservations toward Shinako
**[09:47] ---**
will go away if you gain
some confidence at your job.
**[09:50] Rikuo**
That again?
**[09:52] Rikuo**
You analyst.
**[09:53] A**
You know what you need to do, so do it.
**[10:00] A**
I'd better go before I miss the last train.
**[10:03] A**
I'm getting married soon.
**[10:06] A**
You can be the photographer.
**[10:08] Rikuo**
What?!
**[10:11] A**
I'll fill you in on the details another day.
**[10:14] A**
Later.
**[10:17] Rikuo**
Wh-What?
**[10:25] Tanabe**
Uozumi.
**[10:27] Rikuo**
Oh, Tanabe-san.
**[10:28] Tanabe**
Let's go get lunch when you're done with that.
**[10:31] ---**
Sure.
***SIGN*** Chinese Soba
**[10:35] Tanabe**
A camera?
**[10:36] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[10:37] Rikuo**
I got roped into being a photographer
for my friend's wedding.
**[10:41] Rikuo**
I was wondering if you could lend me one.
**[10:44] Tanabe**
You should ask Mizuguchi-san.
**[10:47] Tanabe**
He's pretty open to that kind of thing.
**[10:50] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[10:52] Tanabe**
You aren't doing this as a hobby, are you?
**[10:56] Tanabe**
If you want this to be your career,
you're going to need a proper camera.
**[10:59] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[11:00] Rikuo**
I've been thinking of doing that,
**[11:03] ---**
but I haven't gone to photography
school or anything.
**[11:07] Rikuo**
I thought I should gain experience
at the studio a bit longer first.
**[11:09] Tanabe**
How long is "a bit longer"?
**[11:14] Tanabe**
This is just my opinion,
**[11:16] ---**
but skill and talent in photography
don't just come to you.
**[11:21] Tanabe**
You have to actually do it.
**[11:23] Tanabe**
I think it's up to you to decide
when to take the plunge.
**[11:32] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[11:41] Haru**
What's wrong?
**[11:43] Haru**
You seem kind of down.
**[11:45] Rikuo**
When am I ever not down?
**[11:49] Haru**
You can tell me if there's
something on your mind.
**[11:52] Haru**
Haru-chan shall give you advice.
**[11:55] Rikuo**
There's no point in telling you.
**[11:58] Rikuo**
It's about work.
**[12:01] Haru**
Fine.
**[12:06] Haru**
Are you not going to the
convenience store lately?
**[12:09] Rikuo**
Well, the studio's been busier.
**[12:13] Rikuo**
I like the work I'm doing now,
so I don't want to take too many breaks.
**[12:20] Rikuo**
It's like the universe has
been nagging me lately.
**[12:26] Rikuo**
It's asking, "What do you want to become?"
**[12:30] Haru**
Is that what's on your mind?
**[12:32] Rikuo**
I guess.
**[12:34] Rikuo**
Not that stressing out about it helps.
**[12:38] Haru**
Keep stressing out.
**[12:39] Haru**
That's how everyone gets to be who they are.
**[12:43] Rikuo**
Listen, kid...
**[12:45] Rikuo**
Although, I can see you
finding joy in any job.
**[12:50] Haru**
That's right! I'm invincible!
**[12:55] Rikuo**
I see.
**[13:17] Shinako**
You didn't need to take
those weird pictures of me.
**[13:20] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[13:22] Shinako**
Can you give me some copies
once they're developed?
**[13:24] Rikuo**
Of course.
**[13:27] Shinako**
Fukuda-kun was so nervous.
**[13:30] Rikuo**
He's going to be the head of a family.
**[13:34] Shinako**
It's kind of a crazy thought, huh?
**[13:37] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[13:40] Rikuo**
Oh, Shinako...
**[13:42] Shinako**
Yes?
**[13:47] Rikuo**
Actually, I'm going to head to the studio.
**[13:50] Rikuo**
I borrowed this camera from a senpai at work.
**[13:52] Rikuo**
I have to give it back.
**[13:54] Shinako**
Okay. See you.
**[13:56] Rikuo**
Later.
**[14:07] Dad**
Shinako-chan, isn't this a wedding favor?
**[14:11] Dad**
Are you sure I can have it?
**[14:13] Shinako**
It'll be more useful here.
**[14:16] Dad**
It's a good plate.
**[14:17] Dad**
You should keep it for when you get married.
**[14:21] Shinako**
I don't have any plans to do that.
**[14:24] Rou**
I'm home.
**[14:26] Rou**
Plans to do what?
**[14:28] Shinako**
Welcome home, Rou-kun.
**[14:30] Shinako**
It's nothing.
**[14:33] Shinako**
You've gotten taller.
**[14:34] Rou**
Have I?
**[14:35] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[14:36] Rou**
Hasn't he?
**[14:38] Dad**
Now that you mention it...
**[14:40] Rou**
No wonder my joints hurt lately.
**[14:44] Rou**
I'm so pale, though.
**[14:46] Rou**
I'm indoors all the time.
**[14:58] Shinako**
I'm heading home.
**[15:01] Rou**
I'll walk you.
**[15:02] Shinako**
It's fine.
**[15:04] Shinako**
It's not that late yet.
**[15:06] Rou**
Are you being polite?
**[15:08] Shinako**
I'm fine. Really.
**[15:09] Shinako**
See you.
**[15:11] Rou**
Hold on.
**[15:24] Rou**
Shinako!
**[15:26] Rou**
What's gotten into you?
**[15:29] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[15:30] Rou**
What is it?
**[15:34] Shinako**
Your arm...
**[15:37] Shinako**
It looked just like Yuu-kun's.
**[15:41] Rou**
My arm?
**[15:42] Shinako**
It's weird, isn't it?
**[15:44] Shinako**
But...
**[15:49] ---**
I remember it so clearly.
**[15:52] Shinako**
I used to watch Yuu-kun getting
shots in his arm when I was younger.
**[16:00] Shinako**
He was being strong, so I felt
like I had to be strong, too.
**[16:05] Shinako**
So I didn't look away.
**[16:08] Shinako**
I know... I can't keep
remembering every little thing.
**[16:17] Shinako**
I'm okay now.
**[16:18] Shinako**
I can get home by myself.
**[16:20] Shinako**
See you.
**[16:34] Shinako**
R-Rou-kun, let me go.
**[16:39] Rou**
No.
**[16:41] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[16:43] Rou**
I knew you couldn't forget about my brother.
**[16:48] Rou**
I'm the only one who knows how
important my brother was to you.
**[16:57] Rou**
We grew up as part of the same family.
**[17:00] Rou**
My brother is part of you.
**[17:06] Rou**
When my brother passed away,
**[17:09] ---**
I decided I'd protect you.
**[17:14] Rou**
I'm going to grow up as fast as I can.
**[17:19] Rou**
I'm going to be there in my brother's place.
**[17:24] Shinako**
Let me go, Rou-kun.
**[18:03] Rikuo**
Shinako?
**[18:06] Shinako**
I don't know what to do.
**[18:15] Rikuo**
Do you feel better?
**[18:17] Shinako**
I'm sorry.
**[18:19] Shinako**
It's... about Rou-kun.
**[18:27] Rikuo**
That again?
**[18:29] Shinako**
Maybe we can't be childhood friends forever.
**[18:37] Rikuo**
I don't really know,
**[18:39] ---**
but a childhood friend seems like
a weird kind of relationship.
**[18:44] Rikuo**
Maybe you shouldn't go
to his place for a while.
**[18:48] Rikuo**
Say you're busy or something.
**[18:50] Shinako**
I guess that's for the best.
**[18:53] Rikuo**
I know they're like family to you,
so you don't want things to get awkward.
**[18:59] Rikuo**
You really shouldn't let
it eat you up, though.
**[19:00] Shinako**
*No.*
**[19:02] Shinako**
*This isn't what I came here to talk about.*
**[19:04] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[19:06] Shinako**
Thanks.
**[19:09] Shinako**
* That's not what I don't*
* know how to deal with.*
**[19:21] Rikuo**
Okay, goodnight.
**[19:28] Shinako**
I wasn't thinking about
things properly until now.
**[19:32] Rikuo**
Shinako?
**[19:35] Shinako**
About how you or Rou-kun feel.
**[19:38] Shinako**
I wasn't thinking.
**[19:40] Rikuo**
What are you talking about?
**[19:42] Rikuo**
You're constantly thinking of other people.
**[19:45] Shinako**
That's not it.
**[19:46] Shinako**
I think I've just been looking
to a dead person named Yuu-kun
**[19:50] ---**
for an excuse to run away.
**[19:54] Shinako**
I've been rationalizing things in my head
**[19:57] ---**
so I don't have to come up with answers.
**[20:02] Shinako**
I still can't forget about Yuu-kun.
**[20:06] Shinako**
But I thought I'd worked through it.
**[20:11] Shinako**
I was ready to move on.
**[20:14] Shinako**
But it was half-assed.
**[20:17] Shinako**
In the end, I'm afraid of ending up alone.
**[20:23] Shinako**
I know that's cowardly.
**[20:28] Rikuo**
I was fine with that.
**[20:32] Rikuo**
I told you I'd wait.
**[20:43] Shinako**
Maybe I was waiting, too.
**[20:49] Shinako**
I know this is selfish,
after I already rejected you...
**[20:53] Shinako**
But I've wished you had the
pushiness that Rou-kun does.
**[21:01] Shinako**
I guess, in the end, I can't move on
**[21:06] ---**
unless someone pulls me.
**[21:16] A**
Good evening.
**[21:17] Shinako**
G-Good evening.
**[21:22] Shinako**
My next-door neighbor.
**[21:24] Rikuo**
We shouldn't stand here talking.
**[21:28] Rikuo**
Let's find a place.
**[21:31] Shinako**
Want to come in?
**[21:39] Shinako**
Although it's messy.

Um...
**[01:08] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[01:09] Shinako**
I actually...
**[01:12] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[01:14] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[01:15] Rikuo**
You don't have to.
**[01:17] Rikuo**
You seem off today, anyway.
**[01:20] Rikuo**
You should get some rest.
**[01:24] Rikuo**
I'll head home.
**[01:26] Rikuo**
So... goodnight.
**[01:39] Shinako**
I started feeling lonely as we were talking.
**[01:45] Fukuda**
Why do people do that?
**[01:48] Fukuda**
You missed out on an opportunity.
**[01:51] Fukuda**
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
**[01:56] Fukuda**
Unbelievable.

That's pretty harsh, what you did.
**[02:23] Shinako**
What would you have done, Morita-sensei?
**[02:25] Morita**
What is there to think about?
**[02:27] Morita**
Just go out with him.
**[02:31] Shinako**
Where did that come from?!
**[02:33] Morita**
Isn't that what you'd normally do?
**[02:35] Morita**
You talked to him about your problems
because you trust him, didn't you?
**[02:49] Shinako**
Well... yeah.
**[02:51] Morita**
You wouldn't have even considered
inviting him in if you didn't like him.
**[02:56] Shinako**
W-Well...
**[02:58] Shinako**
I do think he's a good person, but...
**[03:02] Morita**
Is it because you're comparing him to your
late boyfriend that you can't make a move?
**[03:08] Morita**
You shouldn't compare this to a
relationship you had in your teens.
**[03:12] Morita**
It's just not going to have the same power.
**[03:14] Morita**
Besides, you've probably
romanticized it in your memory.
**[03:19] Morita**
I'm sure you know that.
**[03:26] Shinako**
*I know.*
**[03:29] Shinako**
* That's why I've been trying*

I feel so stupid.
**[03:56] Fukuda**
That may have been your last chance.
**[03:58] Rikuo**
I'll have others!
**[03:59] Fukuda**
Nope, you won't.
**[04:01] Fukuda**
It's a heat-of-the-moment thing.
**[04:04] Fukuda**
That's why you never get anywhere.
**[04:05] ---**
You can't make your move
when a girl gives you an opening.
**[04:09] Kozue**
What are you talking about?
**[04:11] Fukuda**
We're talking about this guy's
relationship frustrations.
**[04:14] Fukuda**
He's had a crush on the
same girl since college.
**[04:17] Kozue**
You have?
**[04:20] Rikuo**
Dude!
**[04:20] Kozue**
That's so nice.
**[04:22] Kozue**
I think I'd love that.
**[04:25] Kozue**
By the way, my relatives all
loved the wedding photos.
**[04:32] ---**
They said you captured a lot of
faces that you only could have
**[04:36] ---**
because we're such close friends.
**[04:39] Rikuo**
I appreciate it.
**[04:40] Fukuda**
That's right.
**[04:42] Fukuda**
Uozumi and I are buddies.
**[04:44] Rikuo**
You're too drunk.
**[04:46] Kozue**
Shush for a second, Taka-chan.
**[04:49] Fukuda**
Fine.
**[04:50] Kozue**
Oh, so apparently,
**[04:52] ---**
these were mixed in with
the photos that you took.
**[05:05] Kozue**
Is she the lady you have a crush on?
**[05:07] Rikuo**
Um...
**[05:09] Kozue**
She's pretty.
**[05:11] Fukuda**
She's too good for Uozumi.
**[05:13] Rikuo**
Shut up!
**[05:17] Fukuda**
Don't let up the pressure, Uozumi!
**[05:20] Fukuda**
It's the moment of truth!
**[05:22] Kozue**
We're rooting for you!
**[05:28] Rikuo**
*That's not exactly helpful...*
**[05:32] Rikuo**
*I still don't know what to do.*

I've wished you had the
pushiness that Rou-kun does.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Shinako**
Want to come in?
**[05:40] Rikuo**
*I should be a lot happier right now.*
**[05:45] Rikuo**
* Something that was so far away before was*
* within my reach, even if just for a moment.*
**[05:52] Rikuo**
*So...*
**[05:54] ---**
*What is this uneasy feeling?*
**[06:00] Rikuo**
* Part of me was kind of relieved*
* when she said what she did.*
**[06:07] Rikuo**
*Why?*
**[06:10] (Flashback) Fukuda**
Maybe your reservations toward Shinako
**[06:12] (Flashback) Fukuda**
will go away if you gain
some confidence at your job.
**[06:20] Rikuo**
*Is that what it is?*
**[06:35] Rikuo**
Haru?
**[06:40] Rikuo**
What's up?
**[06:41] Haru**
These are the new bagels
we're selling at Milk Hall.
**[06:45] Haru**
They're really popular,
so I brought some for you.
**[06:51] Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[06:53] Haru**
Want to have them together?
**[06:55] Rikuo**
Where?
**[06:56] Haru**
Your place, of course.
**[06:59] Rikuo**
Why would I?
**[07:02] Haru**
I've been waiting here for ages...
**[07:03] Rikuo**
You shouldn't be out so late.
**[07:07] Rikuo**
It's dangerous.
**[07:09] Haru**
Seriously?
**[07:10] Haru**
*Now* you're worrying about me?
**[07:21] Haru**
Where are you going?

I'll walk you home.
**[07:28] Rikuo**
Let's go.
**[07:33] Haru**
So you do have a nice side to you!

Quit giving me so much trouble.
***SIGN*** General Affairs
**[09:00] Kinoshita**
That's great, man!
**[09:01] Kinoshita**
You're a full-time employee now.
**[09:03] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[09:05] Kinoshita**
But I wasn't expecting you to quit the
convenience store on the same day.
**[09:09] Rikuo**
I know.
**[09:11] Kinoshita**
Have you been seeing Haru-chan at all lately?
**[09:18] Rikuo**
I've been trying to focus on work, actually.
**[09:59] Morita**
So how's it been going?
**[10:02] Shinako**
How's what been going?
**[10:04] Morita**
The guy you stood up.
**[10:07] Shinako**
N-Nothing's happened.
**[10:10] Shinako**
We haven't even met since then.
**[10:17] Morita**
Are you testing him?
**[10:21] Shinako**
That's not my intention.
I just feel awkward about the whole thing.
**[10:25] Shinako**
He hasn't contacted me, either.
**[10:29] Shinako**
And...
**[10:31] Morita**
And?
**[10:37] Morita**
Don't end up with regrets, now.
**[10:53] Haru**
*He's not here.*
**[10:57] Haru**
Shinako-sensei.
**[11:02] Shinako**
Nonaka-san.
**[11:03] Haru**
Rikuo hasn't been around lately.
**[11:07] Shinako**
H-He hasn't?
**[11:09] Haru**
I wonder if he quit working
at the convenience store.
**[11:13] Shinako**
I guess he might have.
**[11:16] Haru**
You haven't heard anything, either?
**[11:19] Shinako**
No. I haven't seen him lately.
**[11:24] Haru**
Me, neither.
**[11:25] Haru**
He seems to be busy.
**[11:27] Shinako**
I-I see.
**[11:30] Haru**
But...
**[11:33] ---**
I guess that's Rikuo for you.
**[11:36] Haru**
He's, like...
**[11:39] Haru**
He takes forever to make up his mind,
**[11:42] ---**
but when he does, he goes ahead without
asking for anyone's opinions or anything.
**[11:48] Shinako**
That's true.
**[11:49] Haru**
I wonder if he'll be able to get by
with just the photo studio job.
**[11:52] Shinako**
Maybe he's decided that he can.
**[12:02] Haru**
Well, goodnight, Sensei.
**[12:06] Shinako**
Yeah.

Get home safe.

Oh, Shinako...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Shinako**
Yes?
**[12:19] Shinako**
*Is that what he wanted to talk about*
**[12:20] (Flashback) Rikuo**
Actually...
**[12:24] ---**
*when he was about to say something that day?*
**[12:29] Shinako**
* I don't want to end up*
* never seeing him again.*
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[12:44] Shinako**
*Looks like he's not home yet.*
**[12:46] Rikuo**
Shinako?
**[13:03] Rikuo**
Wh-What's up?
**[13:06] Shinako**
Oh, it's not anything specific.
**[13:09] Shinako**
I was in the neighborhood, so...
**[13:22] Shinako**
Um...
**[13:31] Shinako**
You weren't at the convenience
store when I stopped by,
**[13:35] ---**
so I was wondering if you had quit.
**[13:39] Rikuo**
Yeah... Sorry I didn't tell you.
**[13:42] Shinako**
It's okay.
**[13:43] Shinako**
So you're going to focus on your
part-time job at the photo studio?
**[13:47] Rikuo**
Actually, I'm not a part-timer anymore.
**[13:51] Rikuo**
I just got hired full-time.
**[13:55] Shinako**
That's amazing.
**[13:59] Rikuo**
When they offered me the job,
honestly, I had no confidence.
**[14:03] Rikuo**
But my coworkers said I'd
eventually get the hang of it.
**[14:07] Rikuo**
Also, working part-time made me realize...
**[14:12] Rikuo**
that I kind of like tinkering with cameras.
**[14:26] Shinako**
I'm glad for you.
**[14:30] Shinako**
You're the kind of person who really
goes for it once you make up your mind.
**[14:40] Shinako**
That's what Non—
**[14:44] Rikuo**
Am I?
**[14:45] Shinako**
*Huh?*
**[14:49] Shinako**
*Why am I...*
**[14:58] Shinako**
Thanks.
**[14:59] Shinako**
Sorry for keeping you out late.
**[15:01] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[15:03] Shinako**
Well, goodnight.
**[15:06] Rikuo**
Goodnight.
**[15:16] Rikuo**
*Fukuda was right.*
**[15:18] Rikuo**
*I didn't have a second chance.*
**[15:30] Shinako**
* I was about to tell him that*
* that's what Nonaka-san said.*
**[15:38] (Flashback) Haru**
I'm declaring war against you, Sensei.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Haru**
I didn't want to be sneaky about it.
**[15:46] Shinako**
*Nonaka-san likes Uozumi-kun.*
**[15:47] (Flashback) Haru**
So now you know.
**[15:52] Shinako**
*I wonder*
**[15:55] ---**
*what Uozumi-kun thinks of her.*
**[16:09] Shinako**
There.
**[16:11] Shinako**
I'm done cleaning the
toilet and the bath.
**[16:18] Shinako**
The futon!
**[16:26] Shinako**
Now I just need to go shopping.
**[16:31] Shinako**
I haven't been to Rou-kun's place in a while.
**[16:36] Shinako**
I can't keep running forever.
**[16:53] Dad**
Sorry, I have an urgent meeting.
**[16:56] Dad**
I know you made it for me, but...
**[16:58] Shinako**
It's fine.
**[17:00] Shinako**
I'll put it in the fridge in single servings.
**[17:02] Shinako**
You can have it when you get home.
**[17:05] Dad**
Thanks.
**[17:07] Dad**
Rou's been drawing all night these days.
**[17:10] Dad**
You should head home before it gets late.
**[17:13] Shinako**
Okay.
**[17:15] Dad**
Well, I'm off.
**[17:17] Shinako**
See you.
**[17:26] Shinako**
*This is so bad of me.*
**[17:28] Shinako**
*I'm actually relieved.*
**[17:39] Rikuo**
Have a good evening.
**[17:40] A**
You, too.
**[17:42] A**
Our stuff will be arriving
tomorrow afternoon.
**[17:45] A**
I'll be counting on you then.
**[17:46] Rikuo**
Okay.
**[17:50] Rikuo**
*That was a long day.*
**[17:52] Rikuo**
* We're going to be busy with the*
* magazine shoot this week, too.*
**[17:55] Haru**
Rikuo!
**[17:57] Rikuo**
Haru?
**[18:00] Rikuo**
What are you doing out here?
**[18:03] Haru**
I was waiting for you.
**[18:05] Rikuo**
Seriously?
**[18:07] Rikuo**
I already had dinner.
**[18:09] Haru**
I don't care, if I can walk home with you.
**[18:13] Rikuo**
You must have waited for a while.
**[18:14] Haru**
Too late now.
**[18:16] Haru**
Anyway...
**[18:18] Haru**
Aren't you going to apologize
to me for quitting work
**[18:20] ---**
at the convenience store without telling me?
**[18:25] Haru**
Can you walk me home?
**[18:38] Rikuo**
Here.
**[18:42] Haru**
Thanks, employee.
**[18:44] Rikuo**
Come on.
**[18:47] Rikuo**
So, Kinoshita-san's touring around
Japan with his band right now.
**[18:51] Haru**
That's amazing.
**[18:53] Haru**
He'll do a show in Tokyo too, right?
**[18:55] Rikuo**
I haven't asked exactly when.
**[19:03] Haru**
Why didn't you tell me you quit
working at the convenience store?
**[19:07] Rikuo**
I wasn't trying to keep
it a secret or anything.
**[19:11] Rikuo**
I just didn't get a chance to tell you.
**[19:13] Haru**
Are you sure?
**[19:15] Haru**
You've been avoiding me, haven't you?
**[19:19] Rikuo**
No, I haven't.
**[19:21] Haru**
Really?
**[19:25] Haru**
I'm glad, though.
**[19:31] Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[19:34] Haru**
I'm rooting for you.
**[19:36] Haru**
You can always come to me when you
need to talk or order a coffee delivery.
**[19:40] Haru**
Just let me know if you ever...
**[19:46] Haru**
What's wrong?
**[19:48] Rikuo**
Haru...
**[19:50] Rikuo**
Listen...
**[19:53] Rikuo**
You don't need to keep going
out of your way to come see me.
**[19:59] Rikuo**
I'm going to be working late sometimes...
**[20:04] Rikuo**
And it's really not safe being out so late.
**[20:13] Haru**
It's fun waiting for you.
**[20:16] Haru**
I don't get to see you often since
you quit the convenience store.
**[20:21] Haru**
I'm just doing it for my own
satisfaction, so don't mind me.
**[20:30] Haru**
I guess there's no sense in saying that.
**[20:38] Haru**
This stuff gets kinda gloomy, huh?
**[20:44] Haru**
I'll be careful going forward.
**[20:50] Haru**
My place is right there.
**[20:52] Haru**
Goodnight.
**[21:15] Shinako**
I think I made too much.
**[21:30] Rou**
I'm home.
**[21:40] Shinako**
Welcome home.

***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[00:20] Rou**
I'm home.
**[00:26] Shinako**
Welcome home.
**[00:28] Shinako**
Your dad's out for a meeting.
**[00:31] Shinako**
Do you want dinner?
**[00:34] Rou**
O-Oh... Sure.
**[00:51] Rou**
Hey...
**[00:54] Rou**
Sorry about the other day.
**[01:05] Shinako**
That was a bit shocking.
**[01:08] Rou**
You know how I am.
**[01:12] Rou**
I say what I mean,
and it shows in my attitude.
**[01:16] Rou**
And you end up having to accommodate.
**[01:19] Rou**
I feel bad for it.
**[01:23] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[01:25] Rou**
I don't know how to say this...
**[01:27] Rou**
I appreciate you making dinner for me
despite how awkward I've made everything.
**[01:34] Rou**
But if you feel like you're obligated to do it...
**[01:44] Shinako**
To be honest, it is a bit awkward.
**[01:48] Shinako**
But...
**[01:50] ---**
I like coming here to cook.
**[01:55] Shinako**
Didn't you say before
**[01:58] ---**
that you hoped the sight of me in
this kitchen would last forever?
**[02:04] Shinako**
I feel the same way.
**[02:08] Shinako**
I love you, and I love your dad.
**[02:14] Shinako**
So I don't want to ruin this relationship.
**[02:18] Rou**
Come on.
**[02:21] Rou**
Our relationship would never fall apart.
**[02:44] Haru**
What am I doing?
**[02:48] (Flashback) Haru**
This stuff gets kinda gloomy, huh?
**[02:52] Haru**
The fact that I said that might
have made me seem even needier.
**[03:02] Haru**
* Now that Rikuo's quit his job*
* at the convenience store,*
**[03:04] ---**
* I don't have the excuse of meeting*
* him there on my way home from work.*
**[03:11] Haru**
* If I go to the photo studio*
* three train stations away*
**[03:14] ---**
* and get involved in his personal*
* life, and he rejects me...*
**[03:29] Haru**
*What does Shinako-sensei think of Rikuo?*
**[03:37] Haru**
I'm not giving up on him!
**[03:49] Shinako**
Good morning.
**[03:51] Kyouko**
Morning, Haru-chan.
**[03:54] Kyouko**
You seem pretty down lately.
**[03:57] Shinako**
Really?
**[03:59] Kyouko**
Are things not going well with Rikuo-kun?
**[04:04] Shinako**
I think he's kind of avoiding me.
**[04:07] Kyouko**
Maybe he's busy with work.
**[04:10] Shinako**
That's part of it...
**[04:13] Shinako**
But it's a bit different these days.
**[04:16] Kyouko**
I think you're overthinking it.
**[04:18] Shinako**
Am I?
**[04:23] Kyouko**
Welcome.
**[04:25] Shinako**
I'll go get changed.
***SIGN*** Kanto Fine Arts
***SIGN*** Students Wanted
**[04:35] Rou**
Ta-da.
**[04:37] Rou**
Shinako's homemade lunch box.
**[04:41] Rou**
Wait, you got one, too?
**[04:44] Takishita**
My mom made this.
**[04:47] Takishita**
I told her I can make my own lunch...
**[04:52] Takishita**
People are *so* nice when it's exam season.
**[04:58] Takishita**
I'm sure that's what your
lady friend is doing, too.
**[05:01] Rou**
Jeez, Takishita.
**[05:03] Rou**
You had to rain on my parade.
***SIGN*** Event
***SIGN*** Location: 1F Cafeteria Time: 7:00 PM, 24th Instructors and students welcome
**[05:06] Takishita**
So what's your plan for the Christmas event?
**[05:09] Takishita**
The teachers are pretty gung-ho about it.
**[05:14] Rou**
I'll pass.
**[05:15] Rou**
I have something to do.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Shinako**
Christmas?
**[05:22] (Flashback) Rou**
Yeah.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Shinako**
You don't have time for that.
**[05:26] (Flashback) Rou**
Everyone needs a change of pace sometimes.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Rou**
Come on, let's do Christmas.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Rou**
We'll exchange gifts like we used to.
**[05:38] Takishita**
People are *so* nice when it's exam season.
**[05:51] Shinako**
What should I make tonight?
**[05:54] Shinako**
I have to think about
lunch for tomorrow, too.
**[05:57] Shinako**
This takes me back to my school days.
**[06:01] Shinako**
I was cooking for the
Hayakawas almost every day.
***SIGN*** Christmas Chicken
***SIGN*** Gingko Nuts
**[06:42] Rikuo**
I really appreciate you, though, Fukuda.
**[06:45] Rikuo**
If you hadn't pushed me, I'd probably
still be working at the convenience store.
**[06:52] Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[06:53] Fukuda**
Indeed.
**[06:56] Fukuda**
Anyway, that aside...
**[06:59] Fukuda**
Christmas is coming up.
**[07:02] Rikuo**
What's your point?
**[07:03] Fukuda**
I'd been buying gifts and stuff
for my girlfriend until last year,
**[07:08] Fukuda**
but we decided to save money
and not do gifts this year.
**[07:13] Rikuo**
So?
**[07:14] Fukuda**
It would suck to just treat it
**[07:16] ---**
like any other day when the rest
of the world is having a blast.
**[07:20] Fukuda**
So we thought maybe we'd bring our
friends over for a small party.
**[07:27] Rikuo**
Are you inviting me right now?
**[07:30] Fukuda**
You don't have any plans, anyway, do you?
**[07:33] Rikuo**
I don't.
***SIGN*** Plan Your Christmas Here
**[07:35] Fukuda**
Bring Shinako with you.
**[07:37] Fukuda**
That was my wife's suggestion.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Fukuda**
Also, could you bring some
of our photos from college?
**[07:52] (Flashback) Fukuda**
My wife's been nagging me to see them.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Fukuda**
Oh, but only the ones that
don't have my ex in them.
**[07:59] Rikuo**
I used to take them because I was in
charge of photos at events and stuff.
**[08:04] Rikuo**
I was never good at taking
photos of people, though.
**[08:07] Rikuo**
Yeah, right.
**[08:09] Rikuo**
I'd been using the events as an excuse
to take lots of pictures of girls.
**[08:21] Rikuo**
* This is from when our class went*
* to Akikawa in our first year.*
**[08:27] Rikuo**
*We became friends,*
**[08:29] ---**
* and I stopped taking pictures of her*
* because it felt too awkward.*
**[08:36] Rikuo**
*I don't remember why we became close,*
**[08:39] ---**
* but the more we did, the harder*
* it became to tell her I liked her.*
**[08:44] Rikuo**
*I tried to confess on graduation day,*
**[08:47] ---**
*gave up, and then eventually got rejected.*
**[08:52] Rikuo**
* I just wanted to be by her side,*
* even if only as friends.*
**[08:57] (Flashback) Haru**
I'll be careful going forward.
**[09:17] Kyouko**
Thanks for your hard work.
**[09:24] Haru**
Kyouko-san, is it wrong to stay friends
with someone you have feelings for?
**[09:31] Kyouko**
You mean with Rikuo-kun?
**[09:34] Haru**
I just mean in general.
**[09:37] Kyouko**
Well...
**[09:38] Kyouko**
Everyone's different, so I can't really say.
**[09:44] Kyouko**
But I don't think it's *wrong*.
**[09:50] Kyouko**
I think it's only natural that
you would want to spend time
**[09:53] ---**
with someone you like spending time with.
**[09:58] Kyouko**
Am I wrong?
**[10:01] Haru**
Even if you're in pain because of it?
**[10:06] Kyouko**
I do think that if you feel more cons
than pros to being around someone,
**[10:13] ---**
you should maintain a distance.
**[10:15] Haru**
You're weighing gains and losses?
**[10:18] Kyouko**
I don't know if there's such thing as gains
or losses when it comes to your own feelings.
**[10:22] Kyouko**
You're the only one who can
decide what matters to you.
**[10:26] Kyouko**
That's why it's different for everyone.
**[10:30] Kyouko**
What do you want to do?
**[10:43] Shinako**
Thanks for the coffee.
**[10:47] Rikuo**
Coming.
**[10:51] Rikuo**
Sh-Shinako?
**[10:53] Shinako**
Good evening.
**[10:54] Shinako**
Sorry for coming by so late.
**[10:56] Rikuo**
Wh-What's up?
**[10:58] Shinako**
I made dinner at Rou-kun's.
**[11:01] Shinako**
I brought some over to share.
**[11:03] Shinako**
Want it?
**[11:05] Rikuo**
Thanks.
**[11:06] Rikuo**
You're a savior.
**[11:12] Rikuo**
I was just sorting through
the photos I took in college.
**[11:17] Rikuo**
Want to look?
**[11:21] ---**
Uh... I mean...
**[11:23] Rikuo**
Fukuda's wife's been asking to see
his photos from back then, so...
**[11:28] Rikuo**
No, actually, they're hosting a
Christmas party at their place.
**[11:35] Shinako**
I was just thinking about
when we were in college, too.
**[11:39] Shinako**
So that surprised me.
**[11:41] Shinako**
Do you remember these?
**[11:45] Rikuo**
Gingko nuts?
**[11:47] Rikuo**
What about them?
**[11:48] Shinako**
You don't remember!
**[11:51] Shinako**
You didn't have money to eat in our first year,
**[11:55] ---**
so I helped you pick them up around campus.
**[12:03] Rikuo**
You really don't remember?
**[12:09] Rikuo**
Anyway...
**[12:10] Rikuo**
Fukuda asked if you'd want to
come to the Christmas party.
**[12:15] Rikuo**
Well?
**[12:22] Shinako**
I appreciate it, but...
**[12:24] Rikuo**
You already have plans, huh?
**[12:27] Shinako**
Not so much plans,
**[12:29] ---**
but Rou-kun's busy with exam prep,
so I've been cooking for him.
**[12:34] Rikuo**
I see.
**[12:36] Rikuo**
Exams, huh?
**[12:38] Shinako**
Rou-kun's kind of like family.
**[12:41] Shinako**
There's a lot to deal with.
**[12:47] Rikuo**
All right.
**[12:49] Rikuo**
I'll let Fukuda know.
**[12:51] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[13:04] Haru**
Rikuo's still not home?
**[13:09] Haru**
When did I become such a gutless coward?
**[13:15] Haru**
I waged war against Sensei in the
beginning, even though I was losing.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[13:29] Shinako**
Thanks for walking me.
**[13:31] Shinako**
Be careful not to eat too many
of the gingko nuts at once.
**[13:35] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[13:36] Rikuo**
Thanks for the food.
**[13:39] Rikuo**
Well, goodnight.
**[13:40] Shinako**
Goodnight.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Rikuo**
I bought a lens for my camera,
and now I'm all out of cash.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Rikuo**
I haven't had anything to eat
since the day before yesterday.
**[13:58] (Flashback) Shinako**
Gingko nuts won't fill you up, will they?
**[14:01] (Flashback) Shinako**
And you'll get sick if you eat too many.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Shinako**
If you're *that* hungry,
why don't I buy you something?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Shinako**
I can only buy you a croquette lunch or
something from the school cafeteria, though.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Rikuo**
Really?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Rikuo**
Thanks, Morita-san!
**[14:18] (Flashback) Shinako**
It's Morinome.
**[14:45] Kansuke**
Caw.
**[14:57] Rikuo**
*What am I doing?*
**[15:00] Rikuo**
*I've always liked her,*
**[15:02] Rikuo**
*yet I keep overthinking things.*
**[15:24] Rikuo**
A crow's feather.
**[15:30] Rikuo**
She must have been here.
**[15:44] A**
Uozumi.
**[15:46] Rikuo**
Yes?
**[15:47] A**
Do you have a girlfriend?
**[15:49] Rikuo**
Huh?
**[15:50] Rikuo**
No, I don't.
**[15:52] A**
Well, whatever.
**[15:53] A**
Here.
**[15:55] Rikuo**
What's this?
**[15:56] A**
A women's accessory.
**[15:59] A**
I don't need it anymore.
**[16:02] A**
You can still make use of it.
**[16:05] A**
You can have it for 5,000 yen.
**[16:11] A**
Fukuda.
**[16:12] A**
For your wife.
**[16:13] Fukuda**
What's this?
**[16:14] Rikuo**
My coworker got dumped.
**[16:17] Rikuo**
He shoved it onto me.
**[16:19] Fukuda**
That sounds like bad luck.
**[16:21] Rikuo**
It's unused. You'll be fine.
**[16:23] Fukuda**
You should give it to Shinako.
**[16:25] Rikuo**
No way. That'd be a bad idea.
**[16:28] Fukuda**
But giving it to my wife is fine?
**[16:30] Kozue**
I wouldn't mind.
**[16:38] Kozue**
Such a cute necklace.
**[16:56] Haru**
*I miss Rikuo.*
**[17:06] Rou**
I'm home.
**[17:08] Shinako**
Welcome.
**[17:09] Shinako**
You're home early.
**[17:11] Rou**
I ran back as fast as I could.
**[17:13] Rou**
Okay, let's start.
**[17:15] Shinako**
Sure, sure.
**[17:21] Rou**
This art book...
**[17:23] Rou**
Thanks, I've been wanting this.
**[17:26] Rou**
Do you remember the gift
I got you when we were kids?
**[17:29] Shinako**
I do.
**[17:31] Shinako**
We didn't have money,
so everything was handmade.
**[17:34] Shinako**
Like the kaleidoscope Yu-kun made for me,
**[17:38] Shinako**
the portrait of me that you did...
**[17:41] Shinako**
I still hold on to them dearly.
**[17:44] Rou**
I still have mine, too.
**[17:46] Rou**
Like the mystery creature
you made out of felt.
**[17:50] Shinako**
Please forget about that.
**[17:52] Shinako**
I'm not a good artist, unlike you two.
**[17:57] Rou**
We haven't done that ever
since my brother died.
**[18:02] Shinako**
We haven't.
**[18:19] Rou**
Shinako, want me to draw your portrait?
**[18:31] Rou**
You can stay right there.
**[18:32] Rou**
Pull your chair back just a little.
**[18:36] Rou**
Yeah.
**[18:36] Rou**
Look forward a little, and be natural.
**[19:22] Shinako**
*That's right.*
**[19:25] Shinako**
*His dad's back in Kanazawa right now.*
**[19:44] Rou**
Could you loosen up your shirt a little?
**[19:47] Rou**
Make it sexy.
**[19:51] Shinako**
I think I'll go home if you're
going to be like that.
**[19:54] Rou**
Huh? I was just being funny
because you looked so tense.
**[20:01] Shinako**
Yeah, I'll go.
**[20:02] Shinako**
You have cram school tomorrow.
**[20:04] Shinako**
Let's call it a night.
**[20:08] Shinako**
Okay, goodnight.
**[20:10] Rou**
Goodnight?!
**[20:12] Rou**
It's only eight!
**[20:17] Shinako**
Not good.
**[20:19] Shinako**
Come to think of it,
it was just the two of us.
**[20:28] Shinako**
It's still only eight.
**[20:30] Shinako**
I wonder what I should do...
rent a movie or something?
**[20:39] Rikuo**
This is from when we went
to the river in our first year.
**[20:44] Kozue**
You're so young.
**[20:47] Fukuda**
It's okay, I'll get it.
**[20:51] Kozue**
Shinako-san was really
pretty in college, too.
**[20:57] Kozue**
Taka-chan's barely in the photos.
**[21:01] Kozue**
So, how are things, Uozumi-san?
**[21:04] Kozue**
With you and Shinako-san.
**[21:07] Rikuo**
I mean... they're...
**[21:09] Rikuo**
I don't really know, actually.
**[21:11] Kozue**
It gets complicated when you've
been friends for a long time, huh?
**[21:15] Fukuda**
Yeah, that's it.
**[21:17] Fukuda**
Okay, we'll be waiting.
**[21:20] Kozue**
Who was it?
**[21:21] Fukuda**
That's a secret.
**[21:36] Shinako**
Good evening.
**[21:38] Shinako**
I guess I'm here after all.

**[00:01] Shinako**
Good evening.
**[00:03] Shinako**
I guess I'm here after all.
**[00:06] Shinako**
Sorry to barge in so late.
**[00:07] Kozuke**
Not at all. Have a seat.
**[00:10] Fukuda**
You can sit here.
**[00:12] Fukuda**
I'll bring a chair.
**[00:19] Rikuo**
Is the school kid all right?
**[00:23] Shinako**
I'm not sure.
**[00:25] Shinako**
Is this photo from our first year?
**[00:27] Shinako**
That takes me back.
**[00:34] Fukuda**
It's practically a Shinako photo book.
**[00:41] Shinako**
I never knew you took this picture.
**[00:45] Rikuo**
It's not a bad shot, though, is it?
**[00:49] Kozuke**
Well, why don't we make a toast?
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[01:14] Rikuo**
Yes! I win!
**[01:18] Kozuke**
I'll go make some coffee.
**[01:20] Kozuke**
Could you help out, Uozumi-san?
**[01:23] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[01:24] Fukuda**
All right, let's go with this one.
**[01:27] Kozuke**
Here you go.
**[01:30] Kozuke**
It's the necklace you gave me.
**[01:32] Kozuke**
I wrapped it up again.
**[01:34] Kozuke**
Give it to her.
**[01:36] Rikuo**
No, but...
**[01:39] Kozuke**
You didn't get anything for her, did you?
**[01:44] Kozuke**
You got it from me,
so it's not bad luck anymore.
**[01:48] Kozuke**
Oh, but don't tell her that.
**[01:53] Kozuke**
Break a leg.
**[02:00] Shinako**
Thanks for having me.
**[02:02] Kozuke**
Happy early New Year.
**[02:05] ---**
Thanks.
**[02:05] Kozuke**
Here's a gift.
**[02:07] Kozuke**
Have it when you get home.
**[02:10] Fukuda**
Stop overthinking it and just go for it.
**[02:10] Fukuda**
I couldn't, after I showed up unannounced...
**[02:13] ---**
It's fine. I don't know if you'll like it,
**[02:13] Fukuda**
I'll pick up your bones for you.
**[02:16] ---**
but it's yours.
**[02:17] Shinako**
Thank you.
**[02:18] Shinako**
Sorry for staying so late.
**[02:21] Kozuke**
Not at all.
**[02:22] Kozuke**
Taka-chan enjoyed having you, too.
**[02:24] Kozuke**
You should come by again.
**[02:25] Shinako**
Okay.
**[02:36] Haru**
I'm back.
**[02:39] Haru**
Kuma-san?
**[02:40] Izawa**
Bye.
**[02:46] Haru**
You're leaving?
**[02:48] Izawa**
Yeah. I'll be back.
**[03:11] Haru**
Are you all right?
**[03:18] Kyouko**
Sorry, I was thinking about something.
**[03:23] Haru**
About Kuma-san?
**[03:25] Haru**
He seemed a bit weird just now.
**[03:30] Kyouko**
His family's having some problems.
**[03:33] Kyouko**
He's going home to Kyushu.
**[03:37] Haru**
Is he not coming here anymore?
**[03:39] Kyouko**
I don't know.
**[03:41] Kyouko**
He got accepted into grad school,
but he doesn't think he can go.
**[03:45] Haru**
Oh, no.
**[03:46] Kyouko**
There's nothing you can do about it.
**[03:51] Kyouko**
Growing up means
**[03:53] ---**
you end up with things you need
to protect. That's just how it is.
**[04:03] Haru**
*There's no way she's happy with this.*
**[04:35] Shinako**
I wonder if it'll snow before the year ends.
**[04:37] Rikuo**
Hard to say.
**[04:39] Rikuo**
It usually snows around February in Tokyo.
**[04:41] Shinako**
I like snow, but I don't like the cold.
**[04:46] Rikuo**
I prefer cold over hot, though.
**[04:51] Shinako**
The year's almost over already.
**[04:54] Shinako**
This is my favorite time of the year.
**[04:58] Rikuo**
Why?
**[05:00] Shinako**
It's the end of the year,
and all kinds of things get reset.
**[05:07] Shinako**
I prefer New Year's Eve
over New Year's Day, too.
**[05:09] Shinako**
It's kind of boring once it's the new year.
**[05:12] Rikuo**
Huh.
**[05:13] Rikuo**
I had to clean up around the house
and help with renovations.
**[05:17] Rikuo**
The end of the year always sucked for me.
**[05:19] Shinako**
Really?
**[05:24] Shinako**
Thanks for walking me home.
**[05:26] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[05:28] Shinako**
See you.
**[05:29] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[05:37] Rikuo**
Hey, Shinako...
**[05:40] Shinako**
Yes?
**[05:50] Rikuo**
Um...
**[05:54] Rikuo**
Hold your hand out.
**[05:59] Rikuo**
For you.
**[06:01] Shinako**
But I don't have anything for you.
**[06:05] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[06:06] Rikuo**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:07] Rikuo**
I didn't know what you might like,
**[06:10] Rikuo**
so I'm not sure if you'll like it...
**[06:14] Shinako**
Can I open it?
**[06:17] Rikuo**
Go ahead.
**[06:21] Shinako**
Oh, how cute!
**[06:23] Shinako**
It's a moonstone.
**[06:25] Shinako**
Thanks. I really like it.
**[06:27] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[06:29] Shinako**
You chose it for me?
**[06:41] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[06:43] Rikuo**
Actually, my coworker sold it
to me after he got dumped.
**[06:48] Rikuo**
That wouldn't make you feel good, would it?
**[06:55] ---**
Huh?
**[06:56] Shinako**
Nothing.
**[06:57] Shinako**
That sounds like you, though.
**[07:00] Shinako**
I couldn't picture you choosing accessories.
**[07:04] Shinako**
Besides, you were being really
awkward when you gave me this.
**[07:10] Shinako**
Thanks, I'll keep this.
**[07:13] Rikuo**
That was weird, huh?
**[07:16] Rikuo**
I've never given a girl a gift before, so...
**[07:31] Rikuo**
Okay, I'll see you next year, I guess.
**[07:35] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun...
**[07:37] Shinako**
I'm going to call off going back to Kanazawa.
**[07:42] Shinako**
So...
**[07:44] ---**
why don't we greet the new year together?
**[07:51] Rikuo**
* The night I confessed to*
* Shinako and got rejected,*
**[07:55] ---**
*I fell spectacularly on my bike.*
**[07:58] Rikuo**
*I think that was right here.*
**[08:05] Rikuo**
*Life sure throws some curveballs...*
**[08:31] Haru**
Merry Christmas.
**[08:33] Rikuo**
What are you doing?
**[08:36] Haru**
I brought you our new bagels.
**[08:42] Rikuo**
How long have you been here?
**[08:45] Rikuo**
Come on. Get up.
**[08:48] Rikuo**
You're going to catch a chill sitting there.
**[09:03] Haru**
I finally got to see you.
**[09:06] Haru**
I've missed you all this time.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[09:21] Rikuo**
Get off me!
**[09:24] Haru**
Aww.
**[09:30] Rikuo**
*She was cold to the touch.*
**[09:36] Rikuo**
*How long has she been here?*
**[09:42] Rikuo**
Just come inside.
**[09:44] Rikuo**
I'll give you something warm.
**[09:46] Haru**
Yay!
**[09:54] Haru**
It's Rikuo's room.
**[09:56] Rikuo**
I know, it's messy.
**[09:58] Rikuo**
Find a spot to sit down.
**[10:02] Haru**
It's an artifact from the last century!
**[10:04] Rikuo**
Well, I still use it.
**[10:06] Rikuo**
Don't touch it.
**[10:12] Rikuo**
Sit down and stay put.
**[10:19] Haru**
Thanks.
**[10:27] Rikuo**
Look... you need to stop doing this.
**[10:34] Haru**
I know.
**[10:36] Haru**
But I can't see you otherwise.
**[10:42] Haru**
I don't get to see you
unless I make an effort.
**[10:47] Haru**
I know that's clingy.
**[10:50] Haru**
But it's more fun than just waiting.
**[10:55] Haru**
So don't worry about it too much.
**[10:58] Haru**
I'm doing it because I like you,
so cut me some slack.
**[11:03] Haru**
I got to see your face,
and I got to see your room.
**[11:06] Haru**
That's good enough for me.
**[11:11] Haru**
I'll go home once I finish this.
**[11:43] Rikuo**
Yeah... Yeah.
**[11:46] Rikuo**
I'll stay here for New Year's.
**[11:50] Rikuo**
No, I'll be back sometime,
just not for New Year's.
**[11:55] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[11:56] Rikuo**
Say hi to my brother for me.
**[12:12] Shinako**
*I think that should do it.*
**[12:25] Shinako**
* I told my parents I wouldn't*
* go home this year,*
**[12:29] ---**
*but Uozumi-kun hasn't contacted me at all.*
**[12:32] Shinako**
*Maybe I should go home.*
**[12:36] ---**
*Why...*
**[12:39] Shinako**
*Why did I even say what I did?*
**[12:43] Shinako**
* I couldn't help but be happy when he said*
* it was the first time he gave a girl a gift.*
**[12:49] Shinako**
* I'm not regretting it or anything,*
* but what should I do?*
**[12:54] Shinako**
*Well, I didn't mean anything by it, though.*
**[12:59] Shinako**
*I'm sure he knows that, too.*
**[13:04] Shinako**
*And he hasn't called me since then.*
**[13:10] Shinako**
*Why hasn't he?*
**[13:22] Shinako**
Yes, hello?
**[13:25] Shinako**
Uozumi-kun?
**[13:26] Rikuo**
Oh, good.
**[13:28] Rikuo**
I called you, but you weren't home.
**[13:31] Rikuo**
I thought maybe you'd left for Kanazawa.
**[13:37] Rikuo**
*Wh-What?*
**[13:39] Shinako**
Nothing. I'm just a bit disappointed.
**[13:43] Rikuo**
Sorry for not calling you.
**[13:45] Rikuo**
I've been busy with end-of-the-year work.
**[13:48] Rikuo**
You haven't called me either, though.
**[13:54] Shinako**
Well, yeah.
**[13:58] Rikuo**
So, uh...
**[14:02] Rikuo**
*What should we do?*
**[14:05] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:10] Shinako**
What should we do?
***SIGN*** Soba
**[14:22] A**
You're pretty good at this.
**[14:25] Haru**
I clean every day at work, too.
**[14:28] Haru**
Well, now that that's done,
maybe I'll mop the floor.
**[14:36] A**
Haru.
**[14:38] Haru**
Yeah?
**[14:40] A**
Let's go buy ingredients for New Year's soba.
**[14:45] Haru**
Okay.
**[14:50] Shinako**
Do you come here often?
**[14:51] Rikuo**
This place mostly serves booze.
**[14:54] Rikuo**
I come here with my work buddies.
**[14:57] Rikuo**
They're supposed to be
open until morning tonight,
**[15:00] ---**
so I figured we'd have plenty of time here.
**[15:02] Shinako**
Yeah?
**[15:08] Rikuo**
Sounds like it's the new year.
**[15:13] Shinako**
Happy New Year.
**[15:25] Shinako**
It's so cold.
**[15:27] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[15:29] Shinako**
I haven't had so much
to drink in a long time.
**[15:32] Rikuo**
Me, neither.
**[15:34] Rikuo**
We never got to drink together,
even when we were in college.
**[15:39] Shinako**
You're right, come to think of it.
**[15:42] Shinako**
We've eaten together a lot, though.
**[15:46] Rikuo**
You hold your liquor well, huh?
**[15:51] Shinako**
Y-You think so?
**[16:04] Shinako**
Want to have some coffee to help sober up?
**[16:07] Rikuo**
I think there's a vending
machine around here somewhere.
**[16:10] Shinako**
No, I mean...
**[16:14] Shinako**
At my place.
**[16:35] Shinako**
I had some cookies that someone gave me.
**[16:38] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[16:39] Rikuo**
Don't mind me.
**[16:42] Rikuo**
I haven't been here since I set up your TV.
**[16:45] Rikuo**
It's all cleaned up.
**[16:47] Shinako**
It's usually a bit messier.
**[16:50] Shinako**
I really cleaned up.
**[17:05] Rikuo**
*I'm weirdly nervous.*
**[17:12] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[17:14] Shinako**
You can stay put.
**[17:17] Rikuo**
I don't think I got any on the sofa.
**[17:20] Shinako**
It's a wood floor.
**[17:21] Shinako**
It'll wipe off.
**[17:35] Rikuo**
I... think I'll go.
**[17:39] Shinako**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:40] Shinako**
I'll make more coffee.
**[17:43] Rikuo**
That's not it.
**[17:45] Rikuo**
I just can't stand the tension.
**[17:51] Rikuo**
No, I mean, I know you don't
mean anything by any of this.
**[17:58] Rikuo**
I'm just not within my comfort zone.
**[18:05] Shinako**
I'm not, either.
**[18:09] Shinako**
I'm nervous, too.
**[18:14] Shinako**
It's weird, isn't it?
**[18:15] Shinako**
We used to hang out and sleep in each
other's rooms all the time in school.
**[18:20] Rikuo**
Sorry, this is my fault.
**[18:23] Shinako**
No, it's my fault.
**[18:27] Shinako**
I'm obviously in the wrong here.
**[18:32] Shinako**
I know I shouldn't,
but I keep dragging it out.
**[18:41] Shinako**
But I think you share a
little of the blame, too.
**[18:47] Shinako**
Is it because you're nice that
you can't be more assertive?
**[18:51] Shinako**
Or is it because of Nonaka-san?
**[19:03] Shinako**
I thought if I didn't feel the same way as I did
about the person I loved a long time ago,
**[19:09] ---**
it would just be a lie.
**[19:13] Shinako**
But maybe there's more than
one feeling of loving someone.
**[19:20] Shinako**
So...
**[19:23] ---**
I want to move on,
even if I have to take it slow.
**[20:05] Haru**
I'm gonna head home.
**[20:07] Haru**
I don't want to get in the way
of you newlyweds for too long.
**[20:42] Rikuo**
You're taking it slow.
**[20:51] Rikuo**
So I'll go home for tonight.
**[20:56] Shinako**
Okay.
**[21:32] Rikuo**
Hello?

**[00:02] Rikuo**
Yes.
**[00:03] Rikuo**
No, she says she didn't see her face.
**[00:06] Rikuo**
No damages.
**[00:08] Police**
I see.
**[00:10] Police**
Please let us know if anything changes.
**[00:19] Rikuo**
Are you all right?
**[00:22] Haru**
Rikuo...
**[00:26] Rikuo**
Apparently, there's been
a lot of break-ins lately.
**[00:29] Rikuo**
The police say they'll investigate
more once the sun's up.
**[00:33] Rikuo**
You should lock your doors and...
**[00:39] Rikuo**
Does your family live close by?
**[00:41] Haru**
No.
**[00:46] Haru**
I really believe you're a kind person.
**[00:50] Haru**
You aren't going to leave a girl alone
in this state and go home, are you?
**[01:00] Rikuo**
Fine.
**[01:01] ---**
Yay!
**[01:03] Rikuo**
I'll sleep here.
**[01:05] Rikuo**
Just lend me a blanket.
**[01:08] Rikuo**
I'll be gone in the morning.
**[01:10] Haru**
I'll bring something right away.
**[01:20] Haru**
Hey...
**[01:23] Haru**
Thanks for coming.
**[01:27] Rikuo**
What was I supposed to do?
**[01:29] Haru**
You *could* come into my room.
**[01:32] Rikuo**
I'll leave.
**[01:50] Rikuo**
Where am I?
**[01:53] Haru**
Hey, you're awake.
**[01:56] Haru**
I made breakfast.
**[01:58] Rikuo**
Haru.
**[02:00] Haru**
Did you sleep well?
**[02:02] Haru**
If you caught a cold or anything,
**[02:04] ---**
it'd be my fault, so I'll take care of you.
**[02:07] Haru**
You can tell me.
**[02:15] Rikuo**
Wow, what a standard-looking breakfast.
**[02:18] Haru**
You could have just said it looks
good, even if you don't mean it.
**[02:25] Haru**
I would have learned to cook if
I'd known this was going to happen.
**[02:29] Haru**
Maybe I'll have Shinako-sensei
teach me sometime.
**[02:33] Haru**
Speaking of, have you seen
Shinako-sensei recently?
**[02:37] Rikuo**
Uh, well, occasionally...
**[02:43] Rikuo**
* We're on the topic of Shinako,*
* so maybe I should tell her now.*
**[02:50] Rikuo**
Hey, Haru...
**[02:58] Haru**
Yeah?
**[03:00] ---**
Uh...
**[03:03] Rikuo**
Mind if I use your bathroom?
**[03:14] Rikuo**
What the hell am I doing?

**[03:29] Kyouko**
Haru-chan, they caught the
break-in culprit, huh?
**[03:33] Haru**
Apparently.
**[03:35] Haru**
I didn't know what I would
do when it happened.
**[03:39] Haru**
Thank goodness for the police, huh?
**[03:42] Kyouko**
It's nice and carefree living by yourself,
**[03:45] ---**
but it can be pretty scary
when something happens.
**[03:47] Haru**
There, done!
**[03:49] Haru**
Ta-da!

Haru-chan's Special Chocolate Cake!
**[03:53] Haru**
What do you think?
**[03:57] Kyouko**
You sure are tough.
**[03:59] Kyouko**
I need to learn from you.
**[04:01] Haru**
I feel like you're not too thoughtful
when you talk to me lately.
**[04:07] Haru**
Is "tough" the right compliment for a lady?
**[04:18] Kyouko**
It's good.
**[04:21] Rikuo**
Okay, I'm off.
**[04:40] Shinako**
I start tomorrow.
**[04:44] Shinako**
We might not have time to see
each other once work starts.
**[04:48] Rikuo**
I think I'll be home later than you.
**[04:51] Rikuo**
I have a lot to do.
**[04:55] Shinako**
How about deep-fried mackerel tonight?
**[04:58] Rikuo**
Anything you want.
**[05:05] Rikuo**
Wow, this is leagues apart.
**[05:08] Shinako**
I hope you like it.
**[05:11] Rikuo**
Thank you.
**[05:16] Shinako**
Food tastes so much better
when you eat with other people.
**[05:21] Rikuo**
It's like I'm dreaming.
**[05:22] Shinako**
Oh, come on.
**[05:33] Shinako**
Hello, Morinome here.
**[05:35] Shinako**
Rou-kun?
**[05:39] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[05:41] Shinako**
I'll be here this year.
**[05:44] Shinako**
Yeah, that's right.
**[05:47] ---**
Huh?
**[05:49] Rou**
*We just received a huge fish.*
**[05:51] Rou**
*Neither my dad nor I know how to prepare it.*
**[05:53] Rou**
* We'll give it to you, so you can*
* cook it up however you want.*
**[05:58] Rou**
*What? You don't want it?*
**[06:00] Shinako**
No, that's not it...
**[06:02] Rou**
*I'll just bring it over and leave.*
**[06:06] Rou**
You sound different than usual.
**[06:08] Rou**
Is someone there?
**[06:10] Shinako**
No one's here.
**[06:14] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[06:16] Shinako**
Okay, I'll be waiting.
**[06:20] Rikuo**
Should I leave?
**[06:23] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[06:24] Shinako**
Rou-kun has exams coming up,
**[06:26] ---**
so I'm thinking I should keep
quiet about us for a while.
**[06:31] Rikuo**
I guess it would be a pain if he found out.
**[06:37] Rikuo**
Later.
**[06:38] Shinako**
I'm sorry.
**[06:40] Shinako**
I'll come to your place on Sunday.
**[06:42] Shinako**
Be home, okay?
**[06:45] Rikuo**
Right.
**[06:48] Haru**
Kyouko-san, two Haru-chan's
Special Bagel Sandwiches, please.
**[06:55] Kyouko**
That'll be 630 yen with
your employee discount.
**[06:59] Kyouko**
Here.
**[07:00] Kyouko**
I threw in some coffee.
**[07:02] Haru**
Thank you!
**[07:04] Kyouko**
Why are you buying something that
you made yourself? What's going on?
**[07:08] Haru**
Love born of the spirit of a craftsman.
**[07:11] Kyouko**
I think there's a lot of love involved
besides that of a craftsman.
**[07:16] Haru**
That's what you call being nosy.
**[07:20] Kyouko**
Then would you mind asking Rikuo-kun
to stop by the shop sometime?
**[07:26] Haru**
Jeez.
**[07:28] Haru**
Okay, see you.
**[07:32] Rikuo**
Man, that was so good.
**[07:35] Shinako**
You keep saying that.
**[07:38] Shinako**
It's just self-taught home cooking.
**[07:40] Shinako**
I'm going to start thinking
you're being sarcastic.
**[07:43] Rikuo**
I'm not! It's just that
I have a crappy vocabulary.
**[07:49] Shinako**
Ever since I met you,
**[07:52] ---**
I've always thought you didn't have
many words to express yourself with.
**[07:58] Rikuo**
That's really what you thought of me?
**[08:05] Shinako**
Want me to say something a bit mean?
**[08:09] Shinako**
I had to sit in on lectures for you,
help you with reports,
**[08:12] ---**
wake you up on the mornings of exams...
**[08:15] Shinako**
I've always thought of you as the
biggest loser of everyone I've met.
**[08:25] Shinako**
It's all right. You're working hard now.
**[08:28] Shinako**
Should I make you a lunch box as a reward?
**[08:31] Rikuo**
Hang on a second!
**[08:32] Rikuo**
I'm super happy, but there's a lot
about what you just said that bugs me.
**[08:38] Haru**
* I'm doing this to thank*
* him for all the trouble.*
**[08:43] Haru**
*I'm not being needy, am I?*
**[08:45] Haru**
*I'll just say hi and hand it to him.*
**[08:48] Haru**
* If he's not home, I'll just*
* hang it on his doorknob.*
**[08:52] Haru**
*Yeah.*
**[08:53] Rikuo**
Well, can I look forward
to that lunch box, then?
**[08:57] Shinako**
Do you have any requests?
**[09:10] Shinako**
Um...
**[09:12] Shinako**
I'm not there yet.
**[09:16] Shinako**
Sorry.
**[09:18] Rikuo**
No, it's okay. I'm sorry.
**[09:26] Shinako**
You really don't need to walk me home.
**[09:28] Rikuo**
It's not safe right now.
**[09:34] Rikuo**
Don't worry about it.
**[09:37] Shinako**
Thanks.
***SIGN*** Sing "Yesterday" for Me
**[10:08] Haru**
What a coincidence.
**[10:10] Haru**
You had business with Rikuo, too?
**[10:27] Haru**
Oh.
**[10:28] Haru**
So that's how it is.
**[10:34] Haru**
I'm happy for you.
**[10:36] Haru**
You've liked her all this time.
**[10:41] Haru**
You just held on to Rikuo this whole time.
**[10:43] Haru**
It's not fair.
**[10:48] Haru**
But what's the point in saying that, right?
**[10:51] Haru**
I knew this would happen since the beginning.
**[10:55] Haru**
People's feelings change.
**[11:18] Rikuo**
Haru...
**[11:23] Haru**
You don't need to worry about me.
**[11:30] Haru**
Bye.
**[11:54] Tanabe**
Does your girlfriend make you
a lunch box every morning?
**[11:58] Tanabe**
She sounds like a keeper.
**[12:01] Tanabe**
She's going to dump you if you
let her keep pampering you.
**[12:04] Tanabe**
Not that you need to pay her back for
materials, but you should thank her.
**[12:08] Haru**
Yeah.
**[12:10] Tanabe**
Also, as gratitude toward me,
you need to hook me up with someone.
**[12:13] Rikuo**
I'll see what I can do.
**[12:29] Rou**
Hi, we're here to pick up our stuff.
**[12:31] Sensei**
Congrats on your acceptance.
**[12:34] Takishita**
Thanks for everything.
**[12:36] Sensei**
You both got into the same school, huh?
**[12:39] Takishita**
I'll see you at the entrance ceremony.
**[12:41] Rou**
It's scary to think college is
going to be more of the same.
**[12:46] Takishita**
We'll be back later.
**[12:48] Takishita**
Have you decided what you're going to wear?
**[12:51] Rou**
Of course.
**[12:52] Rou**
I'm one step ahead.
**[12:54] Takishita**
Whenever you react that way,
it usually has something to do
**[12:58] ---**
with that lady you've known
since you were a kid.
**[13:02] Rou**
I have nothing left to think about.
**[13:05] Rou**
All that's left is to act.
**[13:18] Rou**
Thanks for everything today.
**[13:20] Shinako**
Of course. It's a celebration.
**[13:23] Rou**
I have to look for a job now.
**[13:26] Shinako**
Your main job as a student is to study.
**[13:29] Shinako**
Don't overdo it.
**[13:31] Rou**
I have to get ready to move, too.
**[13:33] Shinako**
Where are you moving?
**[13:35] Rou**
Somewhere halfway between
your place and school.
**[13:39] Rou**
It would be a lot of work cooking
for me if I'm too far, wouldn't it?
**[13:43] Shinako**
You still expect me to cook for you?
**[13:46] Rou**
Why?
**[13:47] Rou**
You're not going to?
**[13:48] Shinako**
No, I will, but not as often.
**[13:53] Shinako**
The school will have a cafeteria.
**[13:56] Shinako**
And you'll be hanging out
with your friends more often.
**[14:03] Shinako**
Rou-kun...
**[14:04] Rou**
You were only doing it because
you felt responsible.
**[14:07] Shinako**
That's not it...
**[14:09] Shinako**
Come on, Rou-kun!
**[14:27] Shinako**
*Hello?*
**[14:28] Rikuo**
It's Uozumi.
**[14:29] Rikuo**
I was hoping you'd call.
**[14:31] Shinako**
*Sorry, I just got home.*
**[14:34] Rikuo**
Oh, yeah.
**[14:35] Rikuo**
You said you were going to
celebrate his acceptance.
**[14:38] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[14:40] Shinako**
I think I made him angry again, though.
**[14:44] Rikuo**
You told him about us?
**[14:47] Shinako**
*Oh, no, about something else.*
**[14:52] Rikuo**
You still haven't told him, huh?
**[14:55] Rikuo**
*I don't really like being secretive.*
**[14:58] Shinako**
Yeah... I'll find the right time.
**[15:05] Rikuo**
Anyway, is there anything you want, Shinako?
**[15:09] Rikuo**
In return for the lunches.
**[15:10] Rikuo**
It's been a huge help.
**[15:13] Shinako**
You don't need to worry about it.
**[15:15] Shinako**
I enjoy making them.
**[15:16] Rikuo**
*Maybe, but...*
**[15:19] Shinako**
Then I guess I'll ask you
to pay for our next meal.
**[15:24] Rikuo**
*Sure, got it.*
**[15:35] Morita**
Oh, are you done already?
**[15:37] Shinako**
Oh, yes.
**[15:38] Morita**
Give me a sec.
**[15:40] Morita**
We should go drinking. It's been a while.
**[15:42] Shinako**
Just a little, then.
**[15:46] Shinako**
Time really flies, huh?
**[15:48] Shinako**
It was just the other day that
we sent off the graduates,
**[15:51] Shinako**
and now it's the next group of kids.
**[15:54] Morita**
I guess this year's going
to end just as uneventfully.
**[15:58] Morita**
Ugh.
**[16:01] Morita**
Oh, but something's going on for you, right?
**[16:06] Morita**
An eyewitness reports that you were
seen walking with a man on New Year's.
**[16:13] Morita**
Is it that classmate of yours?
**[16:15] Shinako**
Well, yeah.
**[16:21] Morita**
That's it for the Shinako-sensei
Chastity Protection Squad.
**[16:24] Shinako**
You were on active duty?
**[16:31] Shinako**
Actually, there's been a bit of a problem.
**[16:41] Shinako**
That's probably wrong, isn't it?
**[16:43] Morita**
Well...
**[16:45] Morita**
You haven't done anything after
three months of seeing each other?
**[16:50] Shinako**
Am I doing something terrible?
**[16:54] Morita**
If *that's* going to make you feel guilty,
**[16:56] ---**
you shouldn't have gone out
with him in the first place.
**[16:59] Shinako**
You think so?
**[17:01] Morita**
Who cares? Make him wait.
**[17:03] Morita**
You aren't teenagers.
**[17:08] (Flashback) Haru**
You just held on to Rikuo this whole time.
**[17:11] (Flashback) Haru**
It's not fair.
**[17:15] (Flashback) Rou**
You were only doing it because
you felt responsible.
**[17:23] Morita**
You don't have to force yourself
to do anything you don't want to.
**[17:51] Kyouko**
Hey.
**[17:52] Kyouko**
Long time no see, Rikuo-kun.
**[17:55] Rikuo**
Kyouko-san.
**[17:57] Rikuo**
Long time.
**[17:58] Kyouko**
Are you off work today?
**[18:00] Rikuo**
No, I start work in the afternoon today.
**[18:04] Rikuo**
Um...
**[18:06] Rikuo**
Is Milk Hall closed?
**[18:10] Kyouko**
Yeah, we don't have enough staff today.
**[18:13] Kyouko**
We've shortened our lunch hours.
**[18:18] Kyouko**
Please come for coffee sometime.
**[18:20] Kyouko**
Although Haru-chan won't be here.
**[18:33] Shinako**
I'm here.
**[18:35] Shinako**
Sorry, did I keep you waiting?
**[18:36] Rikuo**
No, I just got here.
**[18:40] Shinako**
I wonder what today's special is.
**[18:43] Rikuo**
I'll have amberjack teriyaki.
**[18:45] Shinako**
Just a second.
**[18:48] Shinako**
Sashimi or hearth-baked mackerel...
**[18:53] Rikuo**
By the way, want to go to
the aquarium this weekend?
**[18:57] Rikuo**
Fukuda went there recently.
He said it was pretty good.
**[19:04] Rikuo**
Are you busy that day?
**[19:06] Shinako**
I'm supposed to help Rou-kun move.
**[19:09] Shinako**
What should I do?
**[19:11] Rikuo**
It's fine.
**[19:12] Rikuo**
It's not like we had plans already.
**[19:16] Rikuo**
Another time.
**[19:20] Shinako**
I'm sorry.
**[19:21] Rikuo**
Really, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
**[19:26] Shinako**
I'll tell him about us.
**[19:33] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[19:34] Rikuo**
You can handle it.
**[19:38] Shinako**
I had fun today.
**[19:40] Shinako**
Thanks for dinner.
**[19:41] Rikuo**
Sure.
**[19:43] Rikuo**
I'll call you again.
**[19:45] Rikuo**
We don't need to go anywhere.
Just having dinner would be fine.
**[19:48] Shinako**
Okay.
**[19:53] Shinako**
Hey, want to stop by?
**[19:57] Rikuo**
Nah, it's fine.
**[20:00] Shinako**
Okay.
**[20:04] Rikuo**
You look relieved.
**[20:07] Rikuo**
You don't need to be alarmed.
**[20:08] Rikuo**
I won't do anything you don't want.
**[20:11] Shinako**
No, it's not that.
**[20:13] Rikuo**
I know.
**[20:15] Rikuo**
We've been friends for so long,
it's hard to switch gears.
**[20:21] Shinako**
I'm sorry.
**[20:23] Rikuo**
Maybe I'm making you anxious
because I'm so undependable.
**[20:29] Rikuo**
If there's anything you want of me,
I'll work hard to meet your expectations.
**[20:37] Shinako**
There's nothing wrong with you.
**[20:40] Shinako**
You haven't changed since
you were in college.
**[20:43] Shinako**
I know you aren't good with women.
**[20:49] Shinako**
I feel bad for making you worry, too.
**[20:55] Shinako**
So I don't want anything more of you.
**[21:02] Shinako**
Just be by my side.
**[21:07] Shinako**
I won't expect more, and I won't
ask you to make any promises.
**[21:16] Shinako**
Just be who you've always been.
**[21:20] Shinako**
That's enough.
**[21:25] Rou**
Shinako.
**[21:33] Shinako**
Rou-kun.
**[21:36] Rou**
What is this?
**[21:38] Rou**
What's going on between you two?

**[00:23] Rou**
I wasn't asking you.

I'm asking Shinako.
**[00:41] Rou**
All right.

Fine.

Rou-kun, wait!
**[00:58] Shinako**
Sorry!
**[01:00] Shinako**
I'm sorry!
**[01:07] Shinako**
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
**[01:12] Rou**
Why?
**[01:14] Rou**
Because it'd be a pain
in the ass if I got upset?
**[01:17] Rou**
Still, did you really think you
could just keep sneaking around?
**[01:21] Shinako**
That's not it.
**[01:23] Shinako**
That's not it.
**[01:25] Shinako**
I couldn't tell you because
I value our relationship.
**[01:31] Shinako**
I thought it would fall apart if I told you.
**[01:35] Shinako**
I was scared.
**[01:37] Rou**
What the hell is that?
**[01:40] Rou**
It's not like I don't get it!
**[01:42] Rou**
I know things aren't going to go my way.
**[01:46] Rou**
Whether it was with my
brother or someone else...
**[01:51] Rou**
All that mattered to me
was that you were happy!
**[01:55] Rou**
It'll take time, but I get it now.
**[02:02] Rou**
I was a chump for not noticing
**[02:07] Rou**
that you liked him so much.

Rou-kun, your relatives are here.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Shinako**
What are you doing?
**[02:34] (Flashback) Rou**
I'm putting it in Nii-chan's coffin.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Shinako**
Can I have this?
**[02:45] (Flashback) Rou**
It doesn't really look like him.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Shinako**
Nah.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Shinako**
It captures his aura well.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Rou**
I'm not the cute little Rou-kun anymore...
**[02:58] (Flashback) Rou**
But I can't get any closer
to you, no matter what I do.

**[05:07] Haru**
*Will I ever even see him again?*
**[05:11] Haru**
*What's wrong with me?*
**[05:16] Haru**
* I moved to this town away from Rikuo*
* because I didn't want to see him,*
**[05:22] Haru**
*but I feel even lonelier now.*
**[05:52] Shinako**
Hello?
**[05:55] Shinako**
Yeah, no problem.
**[05:59] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[06:01] Shinako**
Okay.
**[06:04] Rikuo**
So you're going to be a
homeroom teacher now, huh?
**[06:07] Shinako**
Yeah, for the third-year college prep class.
**[06:11] Shinako**
I'll have a lot to do.
**[06:13] Shinako**
What about you?
**[06:15] Rikuo**
Well...
**[06:16] Rikuo**
I'm getting by.
**[06:19] Rikuo**
How's the kid?
**[06:26] Rikuo**
Is Rou doing all right?
**[06:31] Shinako**
I don't know.
**[06:33] Rikuo**
I see.
**[06:39] Rikuo**
Here.
**[06:40] Shinako**
Thanks.
**[06:48] Rikuo**
It's been a while.
**[06:51] Rikuo**
We used to come here a lot during
college for cherry blossom viewing.
**[06:54] Shinako**
We don't get many chances
to hang out anymore, huh?
**[06:58] Rikuo**
We had way too much time on our hands.
**[07:01] Rikuo**
We'd find any excuse we
could to go out or drink,
**[07:05] Rikuo**
and we'd just crash at whoever's
place we happened to be at.
**[07:09] Shinako**
We all had so much energy.
**[07:11] Shinako**
I couldn't imagine doing that now.
**[07:13] Rikuo**
We made having fun too much of a priority.
**[07:17] Rikuo**
Finding a career just didn't seem
right, so I put off job hunting
**[07:23] ---**
and started working at the
convenience store instead.
**[07:26] Rikuo**
If it weren't for Fukuda,
I know I'd still be part-timing.
**[07:32] Shinako**
I'm sure you wouldn't.
**[07:35] Rikuo**
You think so?
**[07:37] Shinako**
Yeah.
**[07:41] Rikuo**
Life's full of surprises, huh?
**[07:45] Rikuo**
More than anything, I can't believe
I'm in a relationship with you.
**[07:50] Shinako**
What brought that on?
**[08:05] Rikuo**
Sorry.
**[08:07] Shinako**
Why are you apologizing?
**[08:09] Rikuo**
Ever since that day, I've been wondering...
**[08:11] Rikuo**
What are we?
**[08:19] Shinako**
Is that because of me?
**[08:21] Shinako**
Did I...
**[08:22] Rikuo**
No.
**[08:24] Rikuo**
I think it's a problem between both of us.
**[08:29] Rikuo**
When I started dating you,
I was over the moon.
**[08:34] Rikuo**
Even *I* thought I was going out of my mind.
**[08:39] Rikuo**
But somewhere inside,
something didn't feel right.
**[08:44] Rikuo**
I thought, here I go again with my bad habit.
**[08:47] Rikuo**
I was terrified of the happiness
I suddenly had rain down on me.
**[08:51] Rikuo**
I started doubting myself.
**[08:53] Rikuo**
I didn't know if I could
believe myself anymore.
**[08:57] Shinako**
It's because I'm making you worry.
**[09:00] Rikuo**
No, it's not.
**[09:03] Rikuo**
Even if I was worried about something,
honestly, it doesn't matter.
**[09:14] Rikuo**
I realized something.
**[09:16] Rikuo**
That I couldn't proudly say I love you.
**[09:23] Rikuo**
That's why it didn't feel right.
**[09:27] Rikuo**
What about you?
**[09:29] Rikuo**
Me or Rou?
**[09:32] Rikuo**
Who's really more important to you?
**[09:36] Shinako**
Rou-kun is like family to me.
**[09:51] Shinako**
I...
**[09:59] Shinako**
I ruined it.
**[10:03] Shinako**
Because I never made an
effort to really look at him.
**[10:13] Rikuo**
So did I.
**[10:15] Rikuo**
I hurt Haru.
**[10:23] Shinako**
What do I do?
**[10:25] Rikuo**
It'll be fine.
**[10:32] Rikuo**
He's crazy about you.
**[10:35] Rikuo**
I'm sure he won't back down and
let someone like me take you.
**[10:40] Rikuo**
Yeah.
**[10:45] Rikuo**
Not that I can guarantee anything.
**[10:55] Shinako**
Jeez.
**[11:01] Shinako**
Jeez...
**[11:11] Rikuo**
I finally feel better.
**[11:15] Shinako**
We ended up taking the long way.
**[11:19] Rikuo**
No kidding.
**[11:21] Rikuo**
We're too similar.
**[11:24] Rikuo**
This is probably the right distance for us.
**[11:26] Rikuo**
We shouldn't have to keep worrying
about what the other is thinking.
**[11:36] Shinako**
You'll stay friends with me, right?
**[11:48] Rikuo**
What about you? What are you
going to do about Nonaka-san?
**[11:53] Shinako**
Is now the time to ask?
**[11:55] Rikuo**
Now's *the* time to ask.
**[12:03] Rikuo**
Well...
**[12:22] Mom**
Could you please stop frying
veggies with that gloomy face?
**[12:27] Mom**
I'm sure you're doing all sorts of chores
for us because you feel bad for barging in,
**[12:33] ---**
but you don't need to
worry about pleasing us.
**[12:37] Mom**
This is your home, too, you know.
**[12:39] Mom**
Take all the time you need
to think things through.
**[12:54] Haru**
*What is dating?*
**[12:57] Haru**
*What does it mean to love someone?*
**[13:01] Haru**
*You feel happy just being with them.*
**[13:06] Haru**
*You smile.*
**[13:10] Haru**
*What is happiness for me?*
**[13:15] Haru**
*Where do I belong?*
**[13:52] Rikuo**
*How do you expect to face her now?*
**[13:58] Rikuo**
*Thinking about it won't help.*
**[14:01] Rikuo**
*Do you even have the right?*
**[14:04] Rikuo**
* Am I not allowed to do it if*
* I don't ask for permission?*
**[14:08] Rikuo**
*Do you not have any pride?*
**[14:11] Rikuo**
* So what if I have a bloated*
* self-consciousness?*
**[14:14] Rikuo**
*What if she says you're selfish?*
**[14:19] Rikuo**
*What's wrong with being selfish?*
**[14:22] Rikuo**
*And if she won't even hear you out?*
**[14:24] Rikuo**
*Don't you think you're imposing?*
**[14:27] Rikuo**
*Do you think you can convince her that*
**[14:29] ---**
* you're sincere if you just*
* choose the right words?*
**[14:32] Rikuo**
* You wouldn't be the person*
* you are if you could do that.*
**[14:37] Rikuo**
* You know what kind of person*
* you are, don't you?*
**[14:42] Rikuo**
*It's not that you love someone.*
**[14:45] Rikuo**
* You just want someone to give*
* you attention, don't you?*
**[14:49] Rikuo**
*Shut up.*

**[15:50] (Flashback) Haru**
You dropped this.
**[15:52] (Flashback) Haru**
That's the most important thing I have.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Haru**
Thanks.
**[16:44] Haru**
Kansuke! Shh!
**[16:46] Haru**
Stop, Kansuke!
**[16:48] Driver**
Are you getting on?
**[16:49] Haru**
Please go ahead.
**[17:25] Rikuo**
What was that for?!
**[17:27] Haru**
Oh, crap! You're real?!
**[17:29] Rikuo**
Obviously!
**[17:31] Haru**
But why would I expect to run into you?!
**[17:48] Haru**
Why are you here?
**[17:50] Rikuo**
Kyouko-san told me
**[17:53] Rikuo**
that you were taking time off work
and staying with your mom.
**[18:01] Rikuo**
Don't just stand there.
**[18:03] Rikuo**
Have a seat.
**[18:15] Haru**
Why did you come?
**[18:18] Rikuo**
I don't think I can explain.
**[18:21] Haru**
What does that mean?
**[18:23] Haru**
What do you expect from me, then?
**[18:27] Rikuo**
Anyway, Shinako dumped me.
**[18:34] Haru**
So you came to me because
Shinako-sensei dumped you?
**[18:38] Haru**
Is that what it is?
**[18:40] Rikuo**
I know, right?
**[18:42] Rikuo**
That's how you'd feel, isn't it?
**[18:45] Haru**
Am I wrong?
**[18:46] Rikuo**
No, let's go with that.
**[18:48] Haru**
Don't give me that!
**[18:49] Haru**
That part's important!
**[18:51] Rikuo**
Nah, I'm sure that's what it looks like.
**[18:54] Rikuo**
Like, anything I say would be an excuse.
**[18:57] Haru**
So give me your excuse. I'll listen.
**[19:00] Haru**
Why did she dump you, anyway?
**[19:02] Rikuo**
We talked it over, and we realized
we were both just confused.
**[19:09] Haru**
I don't get it.
**[19:13] Rikuo**
I told you I couldn't explain.
**[19:17] Rikuo**
I don't even have the brains to think deeply
**[19:20] ---**
about love and feelings and all that.
**[19:26] Rikuo**
But I like it when a woman's nice to me.
**[19:31] Rikuo**
It'd be awesome if it went on forever.
**[19:36] Rikuo**
That's what I thought love was.
**[19:39] Rikuo**
But guess what?
**[19:41] ---**
That's when this incomprehensible,
obviously bothersome chick came along.
**[19:47] Rikuo**
And I couldn't help but...
**[19:51] Rikuo**
I couldn't help but...
**[19:56] Rikuo**
think she was cute.
**[20:00] Rikuo**
I think I'm here because I realized that.
**[20:16] Rikuo**
In other words, I was mistaken
about everything up until now.
**[20:21] Rikuo**
Maybe I'm mistaken now, too.
**[20:25] Haru**
So what's your point?
**[20:28] Rikuo**
The point is, I think...
**[20:32] Rikuo**
I'm in love with you!
**[20:59] Rikuo**
The bus is here.
**[21:27] Rikuo**
Wh-Wha...
**[21:28] Haru**
35 points!
**[21:29] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:31] Haru**
I demand that you redo your confession.
**[21:35] ---**
Don't be crazy.
**[21:37] Haru**
I said redo it, so redo it!
**[21:39] Haru**
How am I supposed to do that?
**[21:46] A**
Congrats on living on your own!
**[21:50] Rou**
Thanks for making a mess right off the bat.
**[21:51] A**
By the way, Takishita-kun...
**[21:53] A**
I heard you got a girlfriend?
**[21:56] Takishita**
That's a secret.
**[22:00] B**
Found your sketchbook.
**[22:01] Rou**
Hey, I never said you could touch that!
**[22:11] Rou**
Shut up.
**[22:18] A**
Someone's here.
**[22:19] Rou**
You aren't any better!
**[22:21] Rou**
Hey, who told you to answer the door?
**[22:32] Takishita**
Hayakawa-kun!
**[22:37] Haru**
Lucky.
**[22:39] Haru**
When's the ceremony?
**[22:40] Kyouko**
Not anytime soon.
**[22:42] Kyouko**
Izawa-kun has a lot to do yet.
**[22:47] Haru**
I'm going to make Rikuo propose someday!
**[22:50] Kyouko**
You have a date later, don't you?
**[22:51] Haru**
Yes.
**[22:52] Haru**
He should be here by now.
**[22:56] Rikuo**
*This is so awkward.*
**[22:59] Rikuo**

*But still, our silly lives*
