**[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!
**[03:51] Haru**
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?
