**[00:27] Masaki**
All done, Hi-kun?
**[00:32] Hikari**
Yep!
**[00:34] Masaki**
Shall we, then?
**[00:36] Masaki**
* Hikari's been obsessed*
* with our new neighbor lately.*
**[00:43] Masaki**
* Every day, he writes a letter*
* to deliver personally.*
**[00:48] Hikari**
You think Ran-kun's home?
**[00:50] Masaki**
I'm sure he's waiting for you.
***SIGN*** Hirai
**[00:53] Tomoko**
Oh, hello, Hikari-chan!
**[00:55] Tomoko**
Heading somewhere?
**[00:57] Masaki**
Hello, there.
**[00:58] Hikari**
Gonna see Ran-kun!
**[01:00] Tomoko**
Another letter? Good luck!
**[01:03] Masaki**
*The neighbor is...*
**[01:07] Iwata**
Oh, Hikari-kun, Masaki-san!
**[01:09] Iwata**
Hello!
**[01:10] Masaki**
*Iwata-san, the newlywed who just moved in...*
**[01:14] Iwata**
Ran! Hikari-kun's here!
**[01:20] Masaki**
*Or rather, her golden retriever named Ran.*
**[01:26] Masaki**
Hello there, Ran-kun.
**[01:28] Masaki**
We're visiting again today.
**[01:30] Masaki**
Go on, Hikari. Say hello.
**[01:33] Masaki**
*There's just one problem...*
**[01:35] Masaki**
* Hikari loves Ran-kun, but*
* he's also scared of how big he is.*
**[01:43] Hikari**
R-Ran-kun... hewwo.

**[03:22] Masaki**
Hikari, going to hand over
your letter today?
**[03:28] Hikari**
Ran-kun! I wrote a letter for you!
**[03:32] Iwata**
Thanks for coming again today, Hikari-kun.
**[03:35] Iwata**
Isn't that nice, Ran?
**[03:39] Iwata**
I was scared of big dogs when I was little,
so I understand how he feels.
**[03:45] Masaki**
I appreciate that.
**[03:47] Iwata**
He's a good boy.
**[03:49] Masaki**
*Even so...*
**[03:52] Masaki**
*He seems to be stressing out over it.*
**[03:55] Hiromu**
You all went again today?
**[03:56] Hiromu**
He must love it over at Iwata-san's.
**[03:59] Hiromu**
So, how'd it go?
**[04:02] Masaki**
He hid behind me again today.
**[04:08] Masaki**
See? He's still down about it.
**[04:11] Hiromu**
It's getting to him, huh?
**[04:13] Masaki**
Seems like it is.
**[04:17] Hiromu**
Well, taking everything seriously
is just what the kid does.
**[04:21] Hiromu**
I'll talk to him.
**[04:23] Masaki**
Thanks. Please do.
**[04:26] Hiromu**
Hikari, I'm home!
**[04:29] Hikari**
Papa! Weccom home!
**[04:31] Hiromu**
I thought you'd meet me at the door.
**[04:34] Hikari**
Hi-kun was writing a letter. Didn't see you.
**[04:38] Hiromu**
So you went to see Ran-kun again today?
**[04:42] Hikari**
Yeah...
**[04:44] Hikari**
But Hi-kun couldn't give
the letter right again...
**[04:50] Hikari**
Papa?
**[04:52] Hikari**
You scared of Ran-kun, Papa?
**[04:55] Hiromu**
I'm not scared at all.
**[04:57] Hikari**
You don't get scared of nothing?
'Cuz you're so stong?
**[05:01] Hiromu**
Well, I might be scared of some things...
**[05:04] Hiromu**
Of a day when you might not
want to take a bath with me,
**[05:08] Hiromu**
that Hinata will go off and get married,
that you'll both tell me I'm annoying...
**[05:15] Masaki**
Hiro-san, you're getting off-topic!
**[05:18] Hiromu**
Well, why do you think Ran-kun's scary, Hikari?
**[05:22] Hikari**
Um... Ran-kun's real big.
**[05:27] Hikari**
So... you know... he's just...
**[05:31] Hikari**
He's scary!
**[05:33] Hiromu**
I don't think it's bad or uncool
to be scared of things.
**[05:39] Hiromu**
But you still want to be his friend, right?
**[05:41] Hikari**
Yeah.
**[05:42] Hikari**
Ma-cha gets to pet Ran-kun.
**[05:45] Hikari**
It makes Ran-kun happy.
**[05:47] Hikari**
Hi-kun wanna pet Ran-kun, too!
**[05:50] Hikari**
Ran-kun's always all smiley...
**[05:53] Hikari**
Hi-kun wanna...
**[05:55] Hikari**
Hi-kun wanna be smiley with him!
**[05:58] Hiromu**
Is that it?
**[05:59] Hiromu**
Well, I do love how kind you are.
**[06:03] Hiromu**
I'm not scared of Ran-kun
because I know he's kind, like you.
**[06:11] Hiromu**
Ran-kun *is* very big, but have you
ever seen him jump on someone,
**[06:15] Hiromu**
or bark very loudly?
**[06:17] Hikari**
No... he's always just sitting.
**[06:20] Hiromu**
Right?
**[06:21] Hiromu**
So one more time, I want you to try to talk
to Ran-kun without hiding behind Ma.
**[06:28] Hiromu**
I'm sure Ran-kun will listen
to you if you do.
**[06:33] Hiromu**
What do you want to say to Ran-kun?
**[06:36] Hikari**
Hi-kun wanna be your friend, Ran-kun!
**[06:40] Hiromu**
Great!
**[06:42] Hiromu**
Then tell him tomorrow
that you want to be friends.
**[06:45] Hikari**
'Kay!
**[06:46] Masaki**
Are we ready for dinner, you two?
**[06:49] Hikari**
Dinner!
**[06:53] Iwata**
Hello there, Hikari-kun!
**[06:55] Iwata**
Thanks for coming to see us again.
**[06:57] Masaki**
Thanks for having us again.
**[06:59] Masaki**
He really does want to be here, but...
**[07:03] Iwata**
It's all right.
**[07:05] Iwata**
You want to be friends, right?
**[07:08] Masaki**
Hikari. You were going to talk
to Ran-kun today, weren't you?
**[07:15] Hikari**
Ran-kun...
**[07:18] Hiromu**
* I want you to try to talk to Ran-kun*
* without hiding behind Ma.*
**[07:22] Hikari**
Ran-kun!
**[07:23] Hikari**
W-Will you... be friends with Hi-kun?
**[07:28] Hikari**
Hi-kun... Hi-kun's not scared...
**[07:31] Hikari**
But... sorry for crying.
**[07:50] Masaki**
When he was a little younger,
**[07:52] Masaki**
a friendly puppy startled him
and he fell on his rump.
**[07:57] Masaki**
It was a really small dog, but I think
it looked a lot bigger in his mind.
**[08:04] Masaki**
Though I don't think he really remembers it.
**[08:08] Masaki**
I think he'll be all right
if Ran-kun takes it slow.
**[08:13] Masaki**
Thank you so much for
being so patient with us.
**[08:18] Iwata**
Not at all.
**[08:19] Iwata**
It's a little strange to say it, but
I really look forward to this every day.
**[08:23] Iwata**
I hope you'll come by again tomorrow.
**[08:26] Hikari**
Ma-cha!
**[08:28] Masaki**
Isn't that nice, Hikari?
**[08:30] Masaki**
Ran-kun and Iwata-san both
thanked you for coming.
**[08:33] Masaki**
*Though it was still a little awkward...*
**[08:36] Iwata**
Can I offer you some tea?
**[08:38] Masaki**
Oh, thank you!
**[08:47] Masaki**
*Papa gave him a little courage.*
***SIGN*** Masaki
**[08:51] Masaki**
* He smiled and petted him*
* and finally made a new friend.*
**[08:57] Hiromu**
Angel!
**[08:58] Shiroki**
Boss, are you working?
**[09:04] Hikari**
Ran-kun was *so* soft!
**[09:08] Hiromu**
Was he?
**[09:09] Hiromu**
What's wrong?
**[09:10] Masaki**
Another email from my uncle.
**[09:21] Hiromu**
Welcome home, you bra— Kazuhiko-kun.
**[09:26] Hikari**
'come home.
***SIGN*** Ogiwara
**[09:29] Kazuhiko**
What are you doing here?!
**[09:31] Kazuhiko**
And you almost said "you brat"!
**[09:39] Masaki**
We're sorry to intrude.
**[09:42] Uncle**
I invited them.
**[09:44] Uncle**
I never got to see them last time, remember?
**[09:47] Uncle**
I wanted to meet Masaki's new family, too.
**[09:50] Uncle**
Still, he gave you a fright, didn't he?
**[09:53] Uncle**
I haven't heard you holler
like that in a while.
**[09:56] Kazuhiko**
* I was wondering why he was so*
* insistent that I come home...*
**[10:00] Kazuhiko**
*I've been tricked.*
**[10:01] Uncle**
I thought you might get self-conscious
and stay at work if I told you.
**[10:06] Kazuhiko**
* You got that right. I'd be too*
* awkward to look at him again.*
**[10:11] Kazuhiko**
*Given the way I left things off...*
**[10:14] Kazuhiko**
*With Masaki, of course,*
**[10:15] Kazuhiko**
* but also with this husband of his,*
* who's smiling way too innocently!*
**[10:20] Hiromu**
I'm just glad it was a good surprise.
**[10:24] Kazuhiko**
*He's totally terrifying!*
**[10:28] Kazuhiko**
* The kid doesn't look happy*
* to see me, either.*
**[10:31] Kazuhiko**
* I thought he'd warmed up to me*
* at the end there...*
**[10:35] Kazuhiko**
*Well, not that I care.*
**[10:36] Masaki**
Kazu-kun, I'm sorry to impose on you
like this when you're tired.
**[10:40] Masaki**
But I'm happy to see you.
**[10:41] Kazuhiko**
Well, I hope my dad didn't
impose with his invitation...
**[10:45] Masaki**
Not at all!
**[10:47] Masaki**
I'd wanted to see him, too.
**[10:49] Masaki**
Hikari was looking forward
to seeing you, too.
**[10:52] Kazuhiko**
Doesn't look that way to me.
**[10:54] Masaki**
Isn't that right, Hikari?
**[10:56] Masaki**
He's just a little shy.
**[10:58] Kazuhiko**
How's it going, squirt?
**[11:05] Uncle**
Well, look at that!
**[11:06] Uncle**
You're good friends, aren't you?
**[11:09] Hiromu**
Yes, Hikari seems to like
Kazuhiko-kun quite a bit.
**[11:12] Hiromu**
It was all he talked about on the drive here.
**[11:14] Hiromu**
I'm almost jealous!
**[11:18] Kazuhiko**
*Terrifying.*
**[11:20] Hikari**
Ka-kun, leggo ouside!
**[11:22] Kazuhiko**
Outside?
**[11:23] Masaki**
He got excited by the sight
of the beautiful leaves.
**[11:27] Hikari**
Big leaves!
**[11:29] Uncle**
What a great idea.
Maybe I'll do some yard work.
**[11:34] Hikari**
Hi-kun do yarwork, too!
**[11:36] Uncle**
Aren't you a hard worker? Good boy!
**[11:42] Kazuhiko**
*What's Dad so excited about?*
**[11:44] Kazuhiko**
*These aren't his grandkids.*
**[11:46] Kazuhiko**
Well, what will you do?
**[11:49] Hiromu**
I'll look after our girl.
**[11:51] Hiromu**
It should be naptime soon.
**[11:53] Hiromu**
I might pick a spot on
the enclosed porch and watch.
**[11:57] Kazuhiko**
Go ahead.
**[12:10] Hikari**
Pretty!
**[12:12] Uncle**
Hey, you found a good one.
**[12:14] Hikari**
Hi-kun's doing yarwork!
**[12:20] Hiromu**
I thought you were going out with them.
**[12:22] Hiromu**
Skipping out?
**[12:24] Kazuhiko**
Dad wanted you to have this
so you wouldn't get bored.
**[12:28] Kazuhiko**
It's an old album. Lots of Masaki in it.
**[12:36] Kazuhiko**
You don't have to look if you don't want.
**[12:38] Hiromu**
Why wouldn't I? I'm glad to have it.
**[12:44] Hiromu**
Hey, you're right.
**[12:48] Hiromu**
Look at that cute little guy.
**[12:52] Hiromu**
Hinata, do you recognize him?
**[12:54] Hiromu**
That's right, that's your Ma.
**[12:56] Hiromu**
Isn't he cute? He looks just like you!
**[13:00] Kazuhiko**
She really does.
**[13:04] Kazuhiko**
She really does look a lot like Masaki.
**[13:08] Kazuhiko**
Back then, when the family got together,
the adults would stay inside drinking,
**[13:13] Kazuhiko**
while the kids played outside.
**[13:15] Kazuhiko**
But Masaki tended not to join in with us.
**[13:18] Kazuhiko**
He was frequently in poor health.
**[13:21] Kazuhiko**
I remember him sitting on his mother's lap,
reading a picture book, instead.
**[13:27] Kazuhiko**
So I developed this image of
Masaki as a fragile little thing.
**[13:33] Kazuhiko**
Now it's all reversed.
**[13:36] Kazuhiko**
He's really changed in a lot of ways.
**[13:39] Kazuhiko**
Well, I can't imagine you like
hearing me talk about this...
**[13:44] Hiromu**
I'm sure he enjoyed the time
he spent here reading books, too.
**[13:50] Hiromu**
Though he likely envied you, as well.
**[13:54] Kazuhiko**
How did you feel about coming here, sir?
**[13:58] Kazuhiko**
This is where Masaki grew up, but
it's also a source of great pain for him.
**[14:03] Kazuhiko**
I do feel sorry for
lecturing you the way I did,
**[14:07] Kazuhiko**
but while things may be better on the
surface, the fundamental problems remain.
**[14:12] Kazuhiko**
You didn't have to come to see us
if you didn't want to.
**[14:15] Hiromu**
You could say the same things
about him being with me.
**[14:19] Hiromu**
You were right that he's
suffered a lot because of me, too.
**[14:23] Hiromu**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[14:25] Hiromu**
We're not trying to hold
grudges about the past.
**[14:29] Hiromu**
We're trying to protect those we
care about in the present. That's all.
**[14:33] Hiromu**
We understand that you have
things you won't compromise on.
**[14:38] Hiromu**
So we don't want apologies.
**[14:41] Hiromu**
Not from you, nor from your father.
**[14:44] Hiromu**
We're grateful to you for accepting me.
**[14:48] Hiromu**
Thank you.
**[14:51] Kazuhiko**
*Ever since that day...*
**[14:53] Kazuhiko**
* I've had times when I think*
* I must be a really awful person.*
**[14:58] Masaki**
Hey, you finally came outside.
**[15:02] Masaki**
Hikari's been waiting.
**[15:03] Kazuhiko**
Liar. I'm sure he barely knows I'm gone.
**[15:07] Kazuhiko**
*But I don't think that's really true.*
**[15:12] Masaki**
I can't deny that.
**[15:13] Kazuhiko**
I should've stayed inside.
**[15:15] Hikari**
Ka-kun!
**[15:16] Uncle**
It's our little truant, Kazuhiko.
**[15:18] Hikari**
Tooant!
**[15:20] Kazuhiko**
Shut up. Don't teach someone else's
kid a bunch of weird words.
**[15:25] Kazuhiko**
*People change, little by little.*
**[15:28] Kazuhiko**
*I have, and so has he.*
**[15:30] Kazuhiko**
Hey, Masaki.
**[15:33] Kazuhiko**
Your husband... Hiromu-san...
**[15:36] Kazuhiko**
He's pretty awesome, isn't he?
**[15:40] Masaki**
He is!
**[15:42] Kazuhiko**
It sorta annoys me.
**[15:45] Kazuhiko**
He's terrifying and he gets
under my skin, but...
**[15:49] (Flashback) Hiromu**
Have you been glancing our way,
hoping to talk to me?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Hiromu**
How charmingly honest of you!
**[15:58] Masaki**
Hiro-san tends to tease people
the more comfortable he is with them.
**[16:02] Kazuhiko**
Sounds annoying.
**[16:03] Masaki**
Matsu-san gets the worst of it.
**[16:05] Masaki**
That's the one who stayed with us last time.
**[16:08] Kazuhiko**
Oh, the guy with the goatee.
**[16:10] Hikari**
Ka-kun!
**[16:12] Hikari**
'Tayto!
**[16:14] Kazuhiko**
What's he on about now?
**[16:15] Masaki**
Baked sweet potatoes.
**[16:17] Kazuhiko**
*Yet our paths found each other again...*
**[16:22] Kazuhiko**
Are you serious?
**[16:23] Hikari**
'Tayto!
**[16:26] Kazuhiko**
*This time, I'll...*
**[16:32] Yuki**
Think they made it to his cousin's place?
**[16:36] Yuki**
I hope things stay chill this time.
**[16:38] Matsuo**
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[16:41] Yuki**
But his uncle's there this time, right?
**[16:44] Yuki**
Although... with Hikarin there,
it should be fine.
**[16:48] Matsuo**
Not Hiromu?
**[16:52] Yuki**
Marriage seems rough.
**[16:56] Yuki**
I mean... first, there was Hiromu-san's dad.
**[16:59] Yuki**
Now there's Masaki-san's hometown.
**[17:02] Yuki**
Then there's all their
families and relatives...
**[17:04] Yuki**
It's way too many connections at once.
**[17:06] Yuki**
All that from two people
wanting to be together.
**[17:09] Matsuo**
And you think it all sounds like a nuisance?
**[17:12] Yuki**
Not so much that...
**[17:15] Yuki**
I just don't think I could handle it.
**[17:18] Matsuo**
You're still young, Yuki.
**[17:20] Matsuo**
No need to stress yourself out about it yet.
**[17:23] Yuki**
Hey, what's your family like, Matsu-san?
**[17:26] Matsuo**
That's out of nowhere.
**[17:27] Yuki**
You've got little brothers, right?
**[17:29] Matsuo**
Yeah, twins.
**[17:31] Yuki**
Twins?!
***SIGN*** Dad
**[17:33] Matsuo**
My parents are major extroverts,
and the twins are carbon copies of them.
***SIGN*** Mom
***SIGN*** Li'l Bro 1
***SIGN*** Li'l Bro 2
**[17:38] Matsuo**
Makes for hell of a lively family time.
**[17:41] Matsuo**
Especially since we spent so much time
with Hiromu and his dad as kids.
**[17:46] Matsuo**
Is it any wonder I had to grow up so fast?
**[17:51] Yuki**
I wonder if I'd get along with your family.
**[17:55] Yuki**
They might not like me. I'm an introvert.
**[18:00] Matsuo**
Um, they totally would!
**[18:03] Matsuo**
Totally!
**[18:04] Matsuo**
*Wait, why am I getting so worked up about it?*
**[18:10] Yuki**
I hope you're right.
**[18:12] Yuki**
I think I'd like to get along
with your family.
**[18:16] Yuki**
It makes me kind of realize
why you'd want to be close
**[18:21] Yuki**
to the family of someone you care about.
**[18:23] Yuki**
Oh, right. You should meet my dad sometime.
**[18:26] Matsuo**
H-How come?
**[18:28] Yuki**
My mom already likes you to a weird degree.
**[18:33] Yuki**
It's probably time to see what my dad thinks.
**[18:35] Matsuo**
* When you bring that up*
* after a conversation like that...*
**[18:37] Matsuo**
Sure.
**[18:39] Matsuo**
*Does he even realize how deep he's digging?*
**[18:44] Matsuo**
You might be too young
for a lot of things, Yuki.
**[18:59] Hiromu**
It's a lovely time of year.
**[19:01] Masaki**
Isn't it?
**[19:02] Masaki**
Uncle says we should stay over
at their house next time.
**[19:06] Hiromu**
Not happening. We can't
get cozy together there.
**[19:10] Masaki**
Silly.
**[19:13] Hiromu**
C'mon.
**[19:37] Masaki**
Thanks for coming with me again.
**[19:42] Masaki**
Kazu-kun said you were "pretty awesome."
**[19:45] Hiromu**
Huh. That's not like him.
**[19:47] Masaki**
Uncle said I'd found myself a good man.
**[19:50] Hiromu**
Yeah?
**[19:52] Masaki**
All the things I never thought would happen
when I got together with you
**[19:56] Masaki**
are becoming reality...
**[19:59] Masaki**
It's a strange feeling.
**[20:00] Hiromu**
It's because you worked so hard.
**[20:03] Masaki**
No, it's because of you.
**[20:07] Masaki**
Let's come back here again.
**[20:08] Hiromu**
You're not afraid anymore?
**[20:10] Masaki**
I want to come back, even if I'm afraid.
**[20:13] (Flashback) Hiromu**
Every time you stumble, I'll take your hand,
and recount it all with you...
**[20:22] (Flashback) Hiromu**
How Hikari smiles when he's with you.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Hiromu**
The look on Hinata's face
as she sleeps in your arms.
**[20:31] (Flashback) Hiromu**
And the look on your face
as you gaze at them.
**[20:36] (Flashback) Hiromu**
I'll recount it all, until
you remember and smile.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Hiromu**
That's what building a life together is about.
**[20:45] Masaki**
The things you said then
will give me courage.
**[20:49] Masaki**
Hiro-san...
**[20:52] Masaki**
Please love the person I was
before I met you, too.
**[20:56] Hiromu**
Naturally. I love all of you.
**[21:07] Hikari**
Papa. Habbagooday.
**[21:10] Hiromu**
Sure. I'll be back later, Hikari.
**[21:14] Hikari**
Papa!
**[21:15] Hiromu**
Hikari!
**[21:16] Masaki**
You're gonna be late.
**[21:19] Masaki**
*Our peaceful lives resumed once more.*
**[21:26] Masaki**
Hi-kun, what do you want for dinner tonight?
**[21:30] Hikari**
Um, hammurg 'teak and tomatoes!
**[21:33] Masaki**
What about tomorrow?
**[21:35] Hikari**
Hammurg 'teak and tomatoes!
**[21:38] Masaki**
And the next day?
**[21:40] Hikari**
Hammurg 'teak and tomatoes!
**[21:43] Masaki**
Papa's going to get sick
of hamburg steak every day.
**[21:47] Hikari**
Tomatoes!
**[21:48] Masaki**
Why do you like tomatoes so much, Hikari?
**[21:52] Hikari**
Um, Hi-kun likes red stuff.
**[21:55] Hikari**
They're pretty.
**[21:56] Hikari**
And they go pop!
**[21:58] Hikari**
Um, and on the top, they got...
**[22:07] Hikari**
A stem!
