[00:04] Rou
    Shinako.
[00:11] Shinako
    Rou-kun.
[00:13] Shinako
    What is this?
[00:14] Shinako
    What's going on between you two?
[00:18] Rou
    What's wrong, Shinako?
[00:21] Rou
    Say something.
[00:23] Rikuo
    Shinako is—
[00:23] Rou
    I wasn't asking you.
[00:27] Rou
    I'm asking Shinako.
[00:41] Rou
    All right.
[00:42] Rou
    Fine.
[00:46] Shinako
    Rou-kun!
[00:48] Rikuo
    Shinako!
[00:49] Rou
    I'm sorry!
[00:56] Shinako
    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.
SIGN    My Brother
[02:17] (Flashback) Rou
    Look, look!
[02:18] (Flashback) Rou
    I got first place in the
    competition at school.
[02:21] (Flashback) Shinako
    That's amazing, Rou-kun!
[02:27] (Flashback) Shinako
    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.
[03:02] (Flashback) Shinako
    I'll be watching.
[03:05] (Flashback) Shinako
    I'll be watching how you grow up.
[03:20] Shinako
    I've ruined it.
[03:32] Takishita
    Who is it?
[03:36] Rou
    Let me stay over.
[03:38] Takishita
    Huh?
SIGN    Sing "Yesterday" for Me
[04:10] (Flashback) Rou
    What's wrong?
[04:12] (Flashback) Rou
    Say something.
[04:13] (Flashback) Rou
    I wasn't asking you.
[04:15] (Flashback) Rou
    I'm asking Shinako.
[04:17] (Flashback) Haru
    Oh.
[04:18] (Flashback) Haru
    So that's how it is.
[04:20] (Flashback) Haru
    You don't need to worry about me.
[04:27] (Flashback) Haru
    Bye.
[04:49] Haru
    It's not as if anything changed.
[04:53] Haru
    Someone who was more than a
    friend just became someone less.
[04:58] Haru
    I was prepared for that to
    happen from the beginning.
[05:01] Haru
    I'll congratulate the two of them.
[05:04] Haru
    Next time I see Rikuo...
[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.
SIGN    Next stop Time
SIGN    Wakabayashi
[14:51] Rikuo
    Shut up!
[14:53] Rikuo
    Shut up.
[14:54] Rikuo
    I'm a selfish person.
[14:58] Rikuo
    But what's wrong with that?
[15:05] Rikuo
    Admit it.
[15:07] Rikuo
    It might have been a fleeting crush,
[15:10] ---
    but she thought I was good-looking.
[15:13] Rikuo
    I'm doing the right thing.
[15:15] Rikuo
    I decided I'm going to be honest with myself,
[15:18] ---
    especially so that I don't
    repeat the same mistakes.
SIGN    Daishido Middle School
[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
    We over thinkthings and
    look back at yesterday...
[23:03] Rikuo
    But still, our silly lives
[23:08] ---
    go on.
