[00:05] ---
Welcome home!
[00:07] ---
Hey! I'm back.
[00:09] ---
Whoa, careful now!
[00:11] ---
Cut it out!
[00:13] ---
Don't touch her when you're still dirty!
[00:15] ---
Yeah, yeah.
[00:17] ---
Hold up, An. Let me take a bath first.
[00:22] ---
Hurry up, Big Bro!
[00:34] ---
Use your right hand.
[00:37] ---
Where are you going tomorrow morning?
[00:39] ---
To study at the library.
[00:41] ---
Why are you lying to me like that?
[00:43] ---
Didn't I tell you to quit already?
[00:46] ---
Why haven't you quit soft tennis?
[00:48] ---
I did.
[00:49] ---
Don't lie to me.
[00:51] ---
I quit. For real.
[00:53] ---
I'm trying to tell you it's for your own good.
[00:56] ---
I'm worried about you. You shouldn't
be around boys like that.
[01:01] ---
I...
[01:04] ---
Why won't you just do as I say?
[01:08] ---
I know. I'll talk to the club advisor myself.
[01:12] ---
That'll take care of it.
[01:14] ---
So stop doing things I don't agree with.
[01:24] ---
Will there ever come a day
when I can forgive myself?
[01:37] ---
Until now, I've been punishing myself,
carrying that burden without saying a word
[01:53] ---
Like a tropical fish thrown into
a fresh-water tank
[02:06] ---
It's waving its tail fin,
but it's not as if it's swimming
[02:16] ---
Just floundering as it drowns
[02:19] ---
Faintly heard from the distant sea
[02:23] ---
The crashing waves are not some dream
[02:27] ---
And if with my ears I listen carefully
[02:35] ---
I can hear the whales
singing together a song of joy
[02:46] ---
"Stars Align"
I can hear the whales
singing together a song of joy
[02:48] ---
"Stars Align"
[02:53] ---
What? Your brother's match?
[02:53] ---
"Episode 9"
[02:54] ---
What? Your brother's match?
[02:56] ---
Yeah! It'll be Sunday, so I wanna go
and watch Big Bro's match!
[02:58] ---
Yeah! It'll be Sunday, so I wanna go
and watch Big Bro's match!
[03:01] ---
An, don't you want to go shopping
with me? And see a movie?
[03:05] ---
Aww! But I wanna go to Big Bro's school!
[03:08] ---
No way!
[03:09] ---
An, you want to go that badly?
[03:12] ---
Yeah! I wanna watch Big Bro play!
[03:14] ---
Shingo, will you be able to look after her?
[03:18] ---
She'll be fine.
[03:20] ---
I'll have the whole club helping me out.
[03:24] ---
What do you say, Mom?
[03:26] ---
Let's trust 'em a bit.
[03:28] ---
An, you better listen to
everything your brother says!
[03:31] ---
Woohoo!
[03:32] ---
--Honey!
--Yay, yay!
[03:34] ---
Sheesh...
[03:41] ---
You're practicing on a Sunday?
You sure are working hard!
[03:45] ---
And you've gotta go to work. You are, too.
[03:48] ---
As they say, "There's no rest for the poor."
[03:50] ---
Ahh, can't a better-paying job
just fall in my lap?
[03:55] ---
That's pretty much everyone's dream.
[03:57] ---
It's important to have dreams!
[04:00] ---
You might be right.
[04:03] ---
Maki.
[04:04] ---
Is soft tennis fun for you?
[04:07] ---
Hmm.
[04:08] ---
Yeah. It's pretty fun.
[04:11] ---
Good! That's wonderful!
[04:59] ---
What a cutie. Is that Shingo's sister?
[05:02] ---
An, you came!
[05:04] ---
How are ya, Taiyo?
[05:06] ---
Oh! Look, it's An!
[05:08] ---
It's been a while. Remember me?
[05:10] ---
Vice-president!
[05:11] ---
Wow, you're so smart.
Way smarter than Shingo.
[05:14] ---
Sure is. Can even read katakana.
[05:17] ---
An, make sure you behave.
[05:19] ---
Tsubasa is Big Bro's partner!
[05:21] ---
Yeah, we're a pair!
[05:22] ---
Say, wanna brush off the tennis courts with me?
[05:25] ---
Yeah! Let's!
[05:28] ---
Thanks for this. And good luck today.
[05:32] ---
Same here. Everyone's pumped up to play,
so it might be a fun match.
[05:42] ---
Namie? The infirmary's open, so if
anyone's hurt, take them straight there.
[05:48] ---
It's a hot one today, so make sure
everyone stays hydrated.
[05:52] ---
Understood. I'll let everyone know.
[05:54] ---
We'll do the practice matches as planned.
[05:57] ---
Hirahashi/Nagae, Tawaramoto/lchikawa,
[05:59] ---
Kuroda/Kawanishi, and then us.
[06:02] ---
Okay.
[06:03] ---
Doesn't it seem like everyone's excited today?
[06:06] ---
They all would've hated doing this before,
but the boys fired them up.
[06:10] ---
Because they've been pushing so hard lately.
[06:16] ---
An, this is how you hold a racket.
[06:20] ---
Okay! Like this?
[06:24] ---
Heavy! Here, Big Bro!
[06:27] ---
Thanks. Watch this.
[06:32] ---
That's amazing!
[06:33] ---
You treat Shingo like he's a hero.
[06:36] ---
Because Big Bro is stronger than anyone!
[06:40] ---
Oh, we've got a tiny cheerleader today?
[06:44] ---
Everyone, keep watch on the little one
to make sure she doesn't get hurt.
[06:47] ---
"Boys' Soft Tennis"
[06:47] ---
Everyone, keep watch on the little one
to make sure she doesn't get hurt.
[06:48] ---
Got it, Tacky. We're taking turns
watching her, so she'll be fine.
[06:50] ---
Got it, Tacky. We're taking turns
watching her, so she'll be fine.
[06:59] ---
--Maki?
--Huh?
[07:00] ---
About the match today...
[07:02] ---
Yeah...
[07:10] ---
Can I go exploring?
[07:13] ---
Go ahead!
[07:29] ---
Five-set matches okay with you?
[07:31] ---
Yeah, that's perfect.
[07:32] ---
So heavy! Why did I get two?
[07:35] ---
Because I thought you're the strongest.
[07:40] ---
Huh? Where did An go?
[07:42] ---
She wanted to use the toilet,
so I told her the way.
[07:45] ---
I guess she's not back.
[07:47] ---
Wha? You sent her off on her own?
What were you thinking?
[07:50] ---
Huh? Well, it's the girls' restroom, so--
[07:53] ---
You idiot!
[07:54] ---
What?
[08:08] ---
Not good.
[08:10] ---
Rintaro!
[08:11] ---
Huh?
[08:16] ---
An is missing.
[08:18] ---
What?!
[08:19] ---
An!
[08:23] ---
Where are you, An?!
[08:25] ---
An! Where you at?!
[08:28] ---
"Library"
[08:28] ---
Where'd she go?!
[08:30] ---
She's pretty small, so I hope
she didn't get stuck somewhere.
[08:33] ---
I sincerely doubt it.
[08:37] ---
"Shijo Minami"
[08:42] ---
Thank goodness. The door's locked.
[08:45] ---
What a relief. She's not on the roof.
[08:48] ---
"Infirmary"
[09:07] ---
An?
[09:09] ---
Why are you going to practice on Sunday?
[09:16] ---
The match...
[09:21] ---
The match will get canceled...
[09:24] ---
I'm telling you to quit soft tennis already.
[09:28] ---
That's right... Because of An...
[09:36] ---
Because of An...
[09:46] ---
She wasn't there either.
[09:48] ---
Really?
[09:49] ---
Yeah...
[09:50] ---
No luck, huh?
[09:51] ---
Shit, where could she be?
[09:53] ---
Nao?
[09:54] ---
Yeah, she wasn't there.
[09:56] ---
Really? Did you actually look?
[09:58] ---
What the heck, Taiyo? It's your fault,
yet you're doubting me?!
[10:02] ---
Th-That's not what I meant.
[10:04] ---
I'm so sorry, guys. Can you help me look again?
[10:08] ---
Guys, please!
[10:10] ---
Of course. We'll look till we find her.
[10:13] ---
We checked all the dangerous spots,
so I'm sure she's okay.
[10:16] ---
Let's keep looking!
[10:18] ---
Right. Let's go!
[10:19] ---
Yeah!
[10:39] ---
I'm terribly sorry!
[10:42] ---
Could you please wait a bit longer?
[10:44] ---
I'm sorry! Just a little more!
[10:48] ---
What? We're not starting yet?
[10:50] ---
We've only got so long until
the tournament, you know.
[10:54] ---
Nao, tell me the truth.
[10:57] ---
What are you talking about?
I'm telling you, I don't know where she is.
[11:02] ---
Shingo's really worried about her. We all are.
[11:05] ---
Seriously, I don't know where she is.
[11:12] ---
"Class 1-D"
[11:12] ---
Where did you search?
[11:14] ---
The first-floor bathroom,
the multipurpose room, and the infirmary.
[11:18] ---
Did you go inside and look?
[11:20] ---
Did you go inside and look?
[11:21] ---
I did. She wasn't there.
[11:23] ---
When I tried to look in the infirmary,
it was locked and I couldn't get in.
[11:28] ---
How'd you get inside?
[11:31] ---
I went inside.
[11:32] ---
I went inside and nobody was there!
[11:36] ---
You locked the door, didn't you?
[11:38] ---
Huh?
[11:43] ---
Hey! Wha?!
[11:49] ---
Huh? What was that about?
[12:10] ---
Thank goodness.
[12:13] ---
Maki...
[12:16] ---
An, wake up. An.
[12:27] ---
I'm truly sorry! It was all my fault!
[12:30] ---
So, please...!
[12:31] ---
No, this is my fault as captain.
[12:34] ---
Me, too. I'm responsible
as vice-president, so please...!
[12:37] ---
--Whoa, whoa, whoa!
--Uh... Stop it! Stop it, stop it!
[12:39] ---
--Uh... Stop it! Stop it, stop it!
[12:40] ---
We're all responsible as members of the club.
[12:48] ---
We're sorry!
[12:50] ---
Um, well... Right...
[12:52] ---
Seeing as how they're so remorseful...
[12:55] ---
On my behalf, too... Please!
[12:58] ---
Mr. Sakurai!
[13:25] ---
It's not right...
[13:27] ---
I don't belong here. This world is wrong...
[13:32] ---
Nao, it's all right. You're okay.
[13:35] ---
We're all here for you.
[13:54] ---
Big Bro, keep it up!
[14:02] ---
Yay!
[14:07] ---
I just don't understand why Tsukinose would lie.
[14:11] ---
Inside Nao's head, it wasn't a lie anymore.
[14:14] ---
What's that mean?
[14:15] ---
I guess if his lie was the truth,
it must have been good for Nao somehow.
[14:20] ---
"Shijo Minami"
[14:20] ---
And what if we couldn't find An in the end?
[14:23] ---
The match would've been canceled, I'm sure.
[14:26] ---
Maybe he never intended for that in the start.
[14:30] ---
But the guilt he felt from lying
might've been too much to bear.
[14:34] ---
When people tell lies,
they're bombarded by disgust and guilt.
[14:39] ---
To get rid of those nasty feelings,
you convince yourself it's the truth.
[14:45] ---
That it wasn't a lie.
[14:48] ---
Why would he go that far to tell a lie?
[14:51] ---
That's only hard on himself.
[14:55] ---
There's a disorder called pathological lying.
[14:58] ---
I guess it's caused by emotional stress.
[15:01] ---
"Shijo Minami"
[15:01] ---
I guess it's caused by emotional stress.
[15:01] ---
I'm sure the reason for it is Nao's mom.
[15:04] ---
Anyone who knows Nao knows that.
[15:06] ---
Is his mom overprotective?
[15:09] ---
It's only natural for parents to worry
about their children, but...
[15:13] ---
"Shijo Minami"
[15:13] ---
She takes it way too far.
[15:15] ---
It's like she rejects his entire personality.
[15:19] ---
I heard parents being overprotective
is a legit kind of abuse.
[15:22] ---
"Call History"
"Mom"
[15:22] ---
I heard parents being overprotective
is a legit kind of abuse.
[15:23] ---
The problem is, the parents
don't even think it's an issue.
[15:27] ---
The problem is, the parents
don't even think it's an issue.
[15:28] ---
They justify it all
saying it's "for their child."
[15:31] ---
Does Nao's dad not notice any of it?
[15:35] ---
His dad couldn't care less about family affairs.
[15:43] ---
Today's matches were great.
[15:45] ---
It was nice of the girls'
third-year regulars to play.
[15:49] ---
Thanks to them, we know where we need work.
[15:51] ---
Think you'll win the real deal?
[15:54] ---
We've got no choice but to win.
[16:00] ---
You look happy, Tsubasa.
[16:01] ---
Not really.
[16:02] ---
These days, you're always like that
when you're fiddling with your racket.
[16:06] ---
You think?
[16:07] ---
Is soft tennis really that much fun?
[16:10] ---
Where's the fun in hitting a ball that soft?
[16:12] ---
It's better than soccer
and only using your feet.
[16:15] ---
Who needs tools anyways?
[16:17] ---
Got that right.
[16:18] ---
You guys cavemen or something?
[16:21] ---
Using tools is what makes us human.
[16:23] ---
Hah! I'm fine being primitive!
'Cuz soccer's the oldest ball game!
[16:27] ---
Aren't balls a tool, too?
[16:29] ---
Er... Oh yeah, it's a tool!
[16:31] ---
That's my brothers for you. Morons.
[16:51] ---
You're still playing that game?
[16:54] ---
What if I am? I can do what I want!
[16:59] ---
Sheesh.
[17:02] ---
Wait, Tsubasa!
[17:04] ---
What's with that attitude?!
[17:06] ---
Answer me!
[17:08] ---
Because you treat me like I'm some idiot!
[17:12] ---
Let go, asshole!
[17:23] ---
Tsubasa! You okay?!
[17:24] ---
You fall?!
[17:26] ---
Ow!
[17:30] ---
What?! What happened?! Tsubasa!
[17:36] ---
Need an ambulance?
[17:38] ---
I'll be fine!
[17:41] ---
Tsubasa! Where are you going?!
[17:44] ---
Tsubasa!
[17:50] ---
School was so much fun!
[17:52] ---
Yeah, but you can't run off like that
and go exploring without telling me.
[17:57] ---
Are you sorry?
[17:59] ---
Yeah, I'm sorry.
[18:01] ---
Good. Promise that you'll tell me
if you want to go exploring?
[18:05] ---
Yeah!
[18:22] ---
Stop wiggling.
[18:25] ---
I can't clean your ears if you're moving.
[18:28] ---
I can't help it!
[18:30] ---
It tickles!
[18:36] ---
I'm gonna practice swinging outside.
[18:38] ---
The tournament's soon, right? Keep it up.
[18:41] ---
Yeah.
[18:42] ---
Keep it up!
[18:43] ---
Yup.
[18:50] ---
Huh?
[18:51] ---
Tsubasa? Wait!
[18:54] ---
Ow!
[19:01] ---
You're injured?
[19:02] ---
It's no big deal.
[19:04] ---
Hey, lemme see it.
[19:10] ---
What is this?! What happened?!
[19:13] ---
I fell. Slipped down the stairs.
[19:16] ---
Come here.
[19:21] ---
Wait here!
[19:23] ---
Dad! Tsubasa's hurt!
[19:25] ---
Take him to the hospital!
[19:27] ---
Soga's hurt?
[19:42] ---
Your wrist... It's fractured.
[19:46] ---
You're kidding.
[19:47] ---
How long till it heals?
[19:49] ---
About a total of two months.
[19:51] ---
You must've landed on it funny
with all of your weight.
[19:54] ---
Said you fell down the stairs?
[19:56] ---
Uh, yeah.
[19:58] ---
I lost my footing.
[20:00] ---
Really? You weren't pushed
down the stairs or anything?
[20:09] ---
I wasn't.
[20:10] ---
I'm just a clumsy idiot.
[20:14] ---
Doctor, is him playing tennis
out of the question?
[20:18] ---
Are you right-handed?
[20:20] ---
Yes.
[20:21] ---
There's no way. You won't be able
to hold a racket for two months.
[20:26] ---
Two months...
[20:30] ---
I'm sorry, Shingo.
[20:37] ---
Ever since finding that sky
we've yearned to soar through
[20:46] ---
Our hearts have been drawn to the future
[20:58] ---
The image grows with each hope and fear
[21:05] ---
Tears and smiles come pouring out,
regardless of emotion
[21:10] ---
It's almost dizzying
[21:11] ---
Makes us wanna break the cage
of this confined, empty life and run away
[21:19] ---
Ever since the wings to fly
unfurled from our backs
[21:29] ---
Our hearts have faced the future
[21:33] ---
We wanna soar freely though skies far and wide
[21:43] ---
Hey, don't keep us locked up
[21:47] ---
No matter how hard we flap our wings
[21:51] ---
We can't reach like this
[21:54] ---
When we're inside a cage
[22:07] ---
An fell asleep.
[22:09] ---
It's so nice and quiet when he's gone.
An's not so wild either.
[22:13] ---
You think?
[22:15] ---
He resembles his mother so much.
Especially his eyes.
[22:19] ---
Is that right?
[22:21] ---
Boys look more like their parents day by day.
[22:24] ---
You think?
[22:26] ---
People say his aunt resembles me, though.
[22:33] ---
Where did he go?
[22:36] ---
He's talking with Soga in the park.
[22:38] ---
Why in a place like that?
[22:41] ---
Because they're friends.
[22:47] ---
My dad... He hates me.
[22:52] ---
Because compared to my brothers,
nothing I do is good enough.
[22:58] ---
Those two brothers of yours
are crazy good at soccer.
[23:02] ---
Why didn't you pick soccer?
[23:04] ---
Because I don't have the talent for it.
[23:07] ---
Tried my best in elementary school, though.
[23:09] ---
I was in the same soccer club as you back then.
[23:12] ---
And you were damn good at it.
[23:15] ---
Not nearly good enough.
[23:17] ---
It was nothing compared to my brothers.
[23:21] ---
My dad never forgave me
for giving up on soccer.
[23:26] ---
He thinks I'm a coward. Not manly. Worthless.
[23:31] ---
Did your dad play soccer back in the day?
[23:33] ---
Apparently. He always brags about it.
[23:38] ---
But why should I care?
[23:40] ---
I'm not like my brothers.
[23:43] ---
I'm different, but he can't...
[23:46] ---
Even today...
[23:47] ---
I fell down the stairs, but he...
He just stood there and looked!
[23:53] ---
Dammit!
[23:55] ---
Because of him...!
[24:00] ---
I wanna play... in our match...!
[24:04] ---
