[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.
