[00:28] Shakui
    Time's up.
[00:29] Shakui
    We'll continue after noon.
[00:31] Shakui
    Remember that finishing your
    piece on time is important, too.
[00:36] A
    Want to go to the cafeteria?
[00:38] B
    Let's go buy some buns.
[00:39] C
    Wait for me.
[01:01] Hayakawa
    That kid...
[01:03] Takishita
    What's up, Hayakawa-kun?
[01:06] Hayakawa
    Oh, Takishita.
[01:09] Takishita
    Are you not feeling well?
[01:12] Hayakawa
    It's not fair.
[01:13] Hayakawa
    It's not even fair.
[01:16] Hayakawa
    People are using tools
    I don't even recognize.
[01:20] Hayakawa
    Some of them are going
    straight for the brushes.
[01:23] Hayakawa
    Aren't we supposed to be
    doing pencil sketches?
[01:26] Takishita
    Oh, you're worried about technique stuff.
[01:29] Takishita
    You'll bomb the entrance exams
    if you try to get too fancy,
[01:34] ---
    but everyone's got a trick or two.
[01:36] Hayakawa
    Really?
[01:41] Hayakawa
    This is nothing like the
    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.
[14:34] Rou
    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.
SIGN    Mathematics I
[17:17] Dad
    They're Yuu's belongings.
[17:25] Dad
    I figure you and I both need
    something to help us move on.
[17:32] Dad
    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.
