[00:01] Kei
By the way, are you the leader
of this team, Raimon-san?
[00:04] Yu
It's Umi-chairwoman!
[00:06] Kei
So it's you, Konohoshi-san!
[00:07] Kei
Here's to good luck for both our speeches!
[00:10] Kei
I'll be looking forward to
your rocket presentation!

That's why our team wanted to try
some different ideas this year,
[00:30] Kei
and after using our department's shared
3D CAD license to create a model,
[00:33] Kei
we borrowed the architectural
design department's 3D printer
[00:36] Kei
to make streamlined fins.
[00:38] Kei
Ah, my advisor told me to include that part
to serve as advertisement for our school!
[00:45] Matataki
She's laughing away like an idiot, as always.
[00:47] Haruno
She's very good at winning over the audience.
[00:50] Matataki
Yeah, right!
[00:56] Yu
Umika, are you okay?
[00:59] Announcer
And now for Tatsuoka High School of
Science and Technology's first launch!
[01:12] Announcer
Off it goes!
[01:17] Announcer
The parachute has deployed!
[01:30] Announcer
The payload has been successfully recovered!
[01:32] Announcer
The egg is unharmed!
[01:38] Announcer
The results are in!
[01:40] Announcer
Attained altitude: 809 feet.
[01:42] Announcer
Airborne time: 48.84 seconds.
[01:45] Announcer
A score of 32.36!
[01:48] Announcer
They're currently first place
in the qualifying round!
[01:51] Matataki
They basically hit all the target values.
[01:53] Matataki
No way!
[01:54] Kei
Oh, my apologies.
[01:56] Kei
There's something I forgot to
mention in my earlier speech.
[01:59] Kei
To account for the wind today,
as well as atmospheric pressure,
[02:02] Kei
we had made adjustments to our rocket's
weight and the center of gravity,
[02:06] Kei
and as a bit of an experiment,
we attached a miniature camera on board.
[02:10] Kei
We'll be uploading the aerial
footage online afterwards,
[02:14] Kei
so please feel free to take a look!
[02:17] Kei
That's all I have! Thank you very much!

Fujinomisaki High School.
[02:23] Official
Please get ready for your launch.
[02:26] Official
If your representative could follow me.
[02:29] Haruno
Umika-chan.
[02:32] Umika
Akizuki-san...
[02:34] Umika
She really was so awesome.
[02:38] Umika
So confident, even when speaking
in front of so many people.
[02:42] Umika
Intellectual, but with a sense of humor.
[02:47] Umika
She ended up making a perfect rocket, too.
[02:52] Umika
I need to be perfect as well.
[02:54] Yu
Umika, are you gonna be okay?
[02:57] Umika
I'm fine.
[03:00] Umika
I'm fine. I'm fine.
[03:04] Umika
All the other times...
it ended up being fine in the end.
[03:09] Umika
The time we faced off against Raimon-san.
[03:12] Umika
When I presented alone at
the club presidents meeting.
[03:17] Umika
So I'm sure this time will be no different.
[03:21] Umika
As chairwoman...
[03:23] Umika
Like Akizuki-san...
[03:26] Umika
I can do it, too.
[03:30] Umika
The moment I set foot on
the podium, legs trembling,
[03:35] Umika
I realized it in a moment of clarity.
[03:41] Umika
I...
[03:44] Umika
I could never be Akizuki-san.
[03:50] Umika
From everyone's reactions, I could tell
that my speech hadn't gone well.
[03:55] Umika
Even so, Takaragi-san gave me
words of encouragement,
[03:59] Umika
and Akeuchi-san lightened the mood.
[04:02] Umika
My jittery hands weren't able
to set up the rocket very well,
[04:06] Umika
so Raimon-san was kind
enough to fix it for me.
[04:10] Umika
As for our rocket...
[04:11] Umika
Our first attempt got no mark, thanks to a
misfire caused by an igniter contact failure.
[04:16] Umika
Our second attempt resulted in a launch,
but we greatly overshot the target altitude.
[04:21] Umika
Consequently, the Rocket Research Hobby Group
[04:25] Umika
did not advance past the qualifying round.
[04:33] Haruno
We're pretty much done gathering everything.
[04:36] Haruno
Sensei said she'd carry all of
the heavy luggage to the car.
[04:46] Matataki
Looks like it's all over.
[04:52] Haruno
Matataki-chan!
[04:54] Kei
Ah, Raimon-san!
[04:57] Kei
Good job on the launch!
[04:59] Kei
Ah, um...
SIGN For the grilled corn
Thanks
[05:02] Kei
This is, well...
[05:04] Kei
Sorry.
[05:05] Kei
I figured I should just pay you back today.
[05:12] Haruno
Matataki-chan!
[05:15] Haruno
Wait!
[05:17] Matataki
Must be nice.
[05:19] Matataki
You don't care whether we win or lose.
[05:24] Matataki
Even without this group—
[05:26] Matataki
no matter who you're with,
it's all the same to you!
[05:33] Matataki
This was the only place where I belonged.
[05:38] Matataki
Don't you ever talk to me again.
[05:47] Umika
I-I can take all the small things
back w-with me by bus.
[05:53] Umika
So I guess w-we're done for today.
[05:56] Umika
A-Akeuchi-san, take S-Sensei's car
back home and rest up.
[06:03] Yu
Umika, are you having a hard time?
[06:06] Yu
I don't need to make contact to tell.
[06:08] Yu
On the long journey toward our dream,
[06:10] Yu
there's bound to be a misstep
or two along the way!
[06:13] Yu
It's okay!
[06:14] Yu
We've only just begun!
[06:16] Yu
Next time, we'll make an even better rocket!
[06:19] Yu
Okay?
[06:19] Yu
With everyone else!
[06:22] Umika
I can't.
[06:23] Yu
What?
[06:24] Umika
I can't do it.
[06:29] Umika
I can't speak well like Akizuki-san!
[06:32] Umika
I can't be a charismatic leader like her!
[06:35] Umika
It was the same with making the rocket!
[06:36] Umika
I was nothing but a useless
burden to the very end!
[06:40] Umika
We all started this group, but I can't
get it promoted to a full-fledged club!
[06:45] Umika
I can't...
[06:46] Umika
I can't do any of it.
[06:49] Umika
And when it comes to helping you...
[06:52] Umika
I can't...
[06:53] Umika
I can't take you into outer space.
[06:58] Umika
I can't do it!
[07:00] Yu
Umika!
[07:10] Yu
Huh? What happened?
[07:13] Yu
I can't see the sparkles anymore.
[07:21] Umika
A big dream that shines brilliantly
with every step forward.
[07:26] Umika
Together with everyone,
[07:27] Umika
as it grows without end in size...
and in brilliance.
[07:31] Umika
However, I was the one who ruined it all.
[07:36] Umika
If this is how it ends...
[07:40] Umika
I would have been better off
being all alone from the start.
[07:49] Honami

[08:03] (Flashback) Honami
Go get some fresh air, instead of
being cooped up in your room.
[08:06] Umika
Was it always this hot out?
[08:10] Umika
I'd forgotten, from being
in my room for so long.
[08:14] Umika
If only it'd all been a dream...
[08:18] Umika
If only the second term would never start...
[08:23] Kei
Um...
[08:26] Kei
Konohoshi-san.
[08:27] Kei
How have you been the past week?
[08:35] Kei
It sure is hot out today.
[08:37] Kei
We haven't had a chance to
talk since the championship.
[08:41] Kei
I just couldn't help but say hi.
[08:43] Kei
Sorry.
[08:48] Kei
It had a fine launch—
[08:50] Kei
the rocket that your team made.
[08:54] Kei
It really was a fine launch.
[08:58] Kei
I know you might not take this
so well coming from me,
[09:05] Kei
but when I saw your rocket
soar straight up like that,
[09:10] Kei
it felt like a breath of fresh air.
[09:13] Kei
The weather conditions
weren't great that day.
[09:16] Kei
But that clean, powerful trajectory,
reaching high into the sky...
[09:20] Kei
It really was exhilarating!
[09:24] Kei
So I wanted to share that excitement I felt.
[09:30] Umika
It was thanks to everyone.
[09:33] Umika
The whole group worked hard
to launch that rocket.
[09:37] Kei
Yeah, including you as the leader—
[09:40] Umika
Y-You're wrong!
[09:42] Umika
A-All I did was t-tell everyone
I wanted to build a rocket.
[09:48] Umika
I d-didn't do anything!
[09:51] Umika
I...
[09:52] Umika
I'm... no leader.
[09:57] Umika
I'm sorry.
[10:01] Kei
If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?
[10:06] Kei
The spark that made you first
want to build a rocket.
[10:11] Kei
What was it that drove you?
[10:17] Kei
You wanted to go to space to find
friends that your words would reach?
[10:22] Kei
What a fascinating idea.
[10:24] Kei
It's absurd to think there wouldn't be life
out in the vast reaches of space!
[10:29] Kei
Which means that your plan
is teeming with potential.
[10:34] Kei
And there's something really inspiring
about finding a place where you belong.
[10:38] Kei
I think it's wonderful.
[10:40] Umika
A-Akizuki-san, you're too kind.
[10:45] Umika
A-Anyone else would laugh
at a dream like mine.
[10:51] Umika
Since I can't do anything.
[10:53] Umika
All I do is talk big.
[10:57] Umika
I'll n-never change.
[10:59] Umika
I can't change anything.
[11:01] Umika
I'll always be weak and helpless.
[11:04] Umika
I know that I'll never
actually make it anywhere.
[11:09] Umika
I know that I don't belong anywhere.
[11:16] Kei
But Takaragi-san, Raimon-san,
and Akeuchi-san...
[11:20] Kei
None of them laughed at your dream, either.
[11:23] Kei
Isn't that right?
[11:26] Kei
They thought your dream sounded
exciting, so they joined you.
[11:31] Kei
They wanted to become a part
of that dream of yours,
[11:34] Kei
so they built a rocket with you.
[11:37] Kei
They believed in your dream,
so they chose you to be the leader.
[11:43] (Flashback) Haruno
You're all trying to go to outer space?
[11:45] (Flashback) Haruno
Sounds like a lot of fun!
[11:47] (Flashback) Matataki
Nothing wrong with outer space, I guess.
[11:49] (Flashback) Matataki
If that's how you really feel, that is.
[11:51] (Flashback) Yu
I think your dream is really awesome!
[11:58] Kei
You know, Konohoshi-san.
[12:01] Kei
There might be a place where you belong
right here on this planet.
[12:07] (Flashback) Matataki
Weren't you looking for a place to belong?
[12:10] (Flashback) Matataki
Now you have one, so good for you.
[12:14] Kei
Have you never stopped
to think about it that way?
[12:19] Umika
I-I...
[12:20] Umika
B-B-But I was the one who r-r-ruined it all.
[12:28] Kei
In that case, you just have to
find some firm footing again.
[12:33] Kei
Just like how a rocket pushes off
the firm ground into the sky,
[12:37] Kei
we humans can't fly high
with shaky footing, either.
[12:41] Kei
Solid footing is what will allow you
to soar further and higher.
[12:47] Kei
Consider yourself lucky if you fall over
and discover a weak spot.
[12:51] Kei
That just means you can make it
sturdier for next time.
[12:55] Kei
So don't just blindly blame
yourself for everything.
[12:59] Kei
You need to fully understand:
[13:01] Kei
what is it that you have now,
[13:03] Kei
and what is it that you lack?
[13:07] Kei
Hey, are you going to stay down?
[13:10] Kei
Are you just going to give up on it all?
[13:12] Kei
Even though you have room to stand back up?
[13:16] Kei
Are you just going to turn a blind eye to it?
[13:20] Umika
The... The...
[13:22] Umika
The place where I belong...
[13:26] Umika
I was always scared that
I didn't belong anywhere.
[13:31] Umika
I wasn't proud at all about
where I currently was.
[13:36] Umika
All I wanted was to look up
and yearn for the distant stars—
[13:40] Umika
the farther, the better.
[13:42] Umika
That way, I could look away from
the darkness at my own feet.
[13:47] Umika
But if I have a place here...
[13:51] Umika
If it's okay for me to be here...
[13:53] Umika
If I want to stay here...
[13:58] Umika
I want to get up and see for myself...
[14:04] Umika
what I can do right now.
[14:07] Umika
Now that I realize... that everyone
has made a place for me.
[14:11] Umika
Now that I want to take good care of it.
[14:15] Umika
Even if I make a fool of myself...
[14:18] Umika
I want to stand tall, so that
I might take flight someday.
[14:25] Kei
Feel free to reach out at any time.
[14:28] Umika
S-Sure.
[14:30] Umika
U-Um, g-good luck at the
national championship!
[14:35] Kei
Thanks.
[14:37] Kei
Oh, yeah, about the tournament...
[14:40] Kei
There's a good number of past entrants who
are now working in the aerospace industry.
[14:46] Kei
The experience of launching
your very own rocket
[14:49] Kei
has inspired a lot of people
to go down that path.
[14:53] Kei
And you know, with good results, you can
use it for recommendation into a university!
[14:59] Kei
So as a stepping stone for
making it to outer space,
[15:02] Kei
taking part in model rocketry as a high
schooler makes sense on a practical level,
[15:08] Kei
a-and, well...
[15:10] Kei
Um...
[15:11] Kei
I look forward to facing off
against you all next year!
[15:20] Umika
I'll ask everyone...
[15:22] Umika
a-and talk about our plans going forward.
[15:28] Kei
Okay!
[15:34] Umika
Akizuki-san...
[15:36] Umika

[15:38] Umika

[16:47] Umika
Huh? The lights aren't coming on.
[16:50] Umika
Is there a lantern around here?
[16:55] Umika

[17:07] Umika
What's it doing here?
[17:11] Umika
Akeuchi-san?
[17:17] Umika
The basement was completely empty, too.
[17:21] Umika
It's like every trace of Akeuchi-san
disappeared from the lighthouse.
[17:27] Umika
Did she go off somewhere?
[17:31] Umika
No, that can't be it.
[17:33] Umika
She wouldn't be out so late,
with all of her belongings in hand.
[17:43] Umika
She must have packed up and left.
[17:46] Umika
Because of the terrible way I treated her,
[17:49] Umika
Akeuchi-san's gone and left.
[17:57] Umika
Just when I'd finally realized.
[18:00] Umika
A-After I'd decided
to protect the place I have.
[18:06] Umika
All of it...
[18:07] Umika
All of it was... was too late.
[18:12] Umika
No!
[18:13] Umika
I don't want this!
[18:15] Umika
No!
[18:16] Umika
H-Having the last words

[18:21] Umika

I'm so sorry!
[19:09] Umika
I...
[19:09] Umika
I said those terrible things,
about not being able to go to space.
[19:14] Umika
A-After I promised
to take you there one day.
[19:18] Umika
After our promise to go together!
[19:22] Umika
I'm sorry.
[19:23] Umika
I'm sorry!

Umika.
[19:27] Yu

[19:29] Yu
I understand everything.
[19:31] Yu
So please don't cry.
[19:36] Yu
I'm sorry for making you
bear the burden alone.
[19:44] Umika
I-Is it really okay for me to stay the night?
[19:47] Yu
You betcha!
[19:48] Yu
Isn't that what you told your family?
[19:51] Yu
Besides, it's my fault
for staying out so late.
[19:56] Umika
So she hadn't left for good.
[19:59] Yu
Looks like I made you worry.
[20:02] Umika
No, I'm just glad.
[20:04] Umika
I-I have a lot of things
I wanted to tell you.
[20:08] Yu
In that case, the lighthouse at night
is the perfect place to relax.
[20:13] Yu
I want to hear everything
you have to say, too.
[20:19] Umika
Akeuchi-san?
[20:23] Yu
Sorry!
[20:24] Yu
I really should ask first.
[20:25] Yu
Even after I upset you last time,
I did it again...
[20:32] Yu
Huh?
[20:32] Umika
B-Back then, I avoided your foreheadpathy...
[20:37] Umika
because I-I couldn't see anything.
[20:41] Umika
Not you, not anyone else, and not even me.
[20:46] Umika
I h-had convinced myself that I needed
to solve everything without anyone's help.
[20:52] Umika
You see, I understand now.
[20:55] Umika
That there's a place where I belong,
h-here on this planet.
[21:00] Umika
I-I might keep messing up again, like before.
[21:05] Umika
I might make a fool of myself.
[21:08] Umika
But even so, I want to
protect this place—
[21:14] Umika
th-the Rocket Research Hobby
Group that we all started.
[21:18] Umika
I want to take flight here again.
[21:21] Umika
Together with everyone—with you.
[21:25] Yu
Umika.
[21:28] Yu
What a warm light.
[21:29] Yu
It'd never disappear.
[21:32] Yu
Right here...
[21:33] Yu
It's right here, Umika.
[21:37] Yu
It lives inside you, sparkling brightly.
[21:41] Yu
The same goes for the promise
we made back then.
[21:44] Yu
For you to take me to my home planet.
[21:47] Umika
Akeuchi-san.
[21:49] Yu
The beacon of light inside you will
surely show the way for everyone.
[21:54] Yu
Not just for me.
[21:56] Yu
I know that you'll help them all.
[22:00] Yu
You see, I've known it all along.
[22:03] Yu
After all, your feelings
are always what make me...
[22:08] Yu
What make me...
[22:09] Yu
Ahh!
[22:11] Yu
I remember!
[22:12] Yu
I think I remember now!
[22:14] Umika
H-Huh?
[22:15] Yu
A memory of my home planet!
[22:17] Umika
What?!
[22:18] Yu
It's a song.
[22:20] Yu
Yes, a song!
[22:21] Yu
A song I sang often as a kid.
[22:24] Yu
Just the one song, but still...
[22:36] Umika
It was like a flickering light.
[22:40] Umika
A mysterious song, unfamiliar
yet nostalgic at the same time.
[22:46] Umika
Unfettered and gentle.
[22:48] Umika
Powerful and unknown.
[22:50] Umika
A warm melody that
reminded me of Akeuchi-san.
[22:54] Umika
As though guided by her song,
[22:57] Umika
I felt, with great certainty,
something shimmering within me.
[23:02] Umika
The courage given to me by Akeuchi-san.
[23:04] Umika
The courage given to me from everyone.
[23:07] Umika
A fierce hope inside me
to take the next step.
[23:11] Umika
So these were my sparkles.
[23:15] (Flashback) Yu
I'm sure you know lots
[23:18] (Flashback) Yu
about the wonderful things here on Earth!
[23:21] Umika
Your planet must be a
wonderful place as well.
[23:27] Umika
Thank you, Akeuchi-san.
[23:29] Umika
I was finally able to find it.
