[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!

[01:48] Rou
    One more year until exams.
[01:51] Rou
    I think we need a change in attitude.
[01:55] Takimoto
    A change in attitude, huh?
[01:58] Takimoto
    I think you're better
    off not overthinking it.
[02:01] Takimoto
    You'll have a hard time going back to
    normal if you get caught up in something.
[02:05] Rou
    I'm more comfortable with my
    situation than I should be.
[02:09] Takimoto
    I don't think it helps to panic, though.
[02:11] Takimoto
    Is it a bad thing?
[02:14] Rou
    I feel more alive when I'm
    freaking out at my waning odds.
[02:22] Takimoto
    I guess that way of life sorta
    fits you, Hayakawa-kun.

    Shinako.
[02:39] Shinako
    I told you to call me
    Morinome-sensei at school.
[02:42] Rou
    Never mind that.
[02:44] Rou
    It's still bright outside.
[02:46] Rou
    Want to go somewhere?
[02:47] Shinako
    Right now? What about cram school?
[02:50] Rou
    Let's just call it a field trip.
[02:53] Rou
    Is there anywhere you want to go,
    like to the movies or shopping?
[02:57] Shinako
    Hang on a second.
[02:59] Shinako
    I'm not done with work yet.
[03:00] Rou
    You can do it tomorrow.
[03:02] Shinako
    I have to finish the day's work today.
[03:05] Shinako
    Otherwise, I'll be really busy tomorrow.
[03:11] Rou
    I get it.
[03:13] Rou
    You don't want to go with me.
[03:19] Shinako
    You know that's not true.
[03:22] Shinako
    Did something happen?
[03:24] Rou
    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
    during your high school entrance exams.
[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.
[04:42] Rikuo
    Are you heading home from
    that young man's place?
[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.
[07:56] Rou
    Make me a rolled omelet.
[08:00] Shinako
    There's fried eggplant, too.

    You do, huh?
[08:13] A
    You were friends as kids, right?
[08:15] B
    What else is she supposed to say
[08:17] ---
    if she wants to continue
    being family friends?

[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.
