**[00:04] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Woof, woof.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Tsuki**
    Yakichi... you came to me.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    But of course.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki, you mentioned you wanted onigiri
    wrapped in nori seaweed, so here they are.
**[00:14] (Flashback) Tsuki**
    Thank you, Yakichi.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Tsuki**
    I wanted to enjoy them
    at least once before the end.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Please, do not speak as if this is the end.
**[00:24] (Flashback) Tsuki**
    You do not quite have
    a knack for smiling, Yakichi...
**[00:26] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Here, Lady Tsuki.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki?
**[00:30] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki!
**[00:31] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki?!
**[00:31] (Flashback) BG People**
    Lady Tsuki?!
**[00:32] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki!
**[00:33] (Flashback) BG People**
    Lady Tsuki?!
**[00:34] (Flashback) Yakichi**
    Lady Tsuki!
**[00:38] Mutou**
    *If I could have one wish,*
**[00:39] Mutou**
*    it would be to eat onigiri wrapped*
*    in nori seaweed with Lady Tsuki.*
**[00:46] Mutou**
*    The same onigiri I was unable*
*    to feed her in her infirmity...*
**[00:51] Mutou**
    *That is my one lingering regret.*
**[00:54] Ueno**
    Um, say...
**[00:55] Mutou**
*    As sad as it may be to admit, I might be*
*    better suited to a life without a head...*
**[00:59] Ueno**
    Y'know, do you think Tabata-san...
**[01:03] Mutou**
*    Even when I did have a head,*
*    I was terrible at conveying my feelings.*
**[01:12] Manager**
    Huh? Do you smell something funny?
**[01:15] Adam**
    *Mutou-san has odor problems.*
**[01:17] Adam**
    *It's not as bad if it stays cool in here.*
**[01:20] Adam**
    Welcome.
**[01:21] OLs**
    I think it's the dairy stuff!
**[01:22] Tsuki**
    You think?
**[01:23] Mutou**
    *Lady Tsuki!*
**[01:23] OLs**
    That's what it always
    comes down to in the end!
**[01:25] OL**
    Aw man, I'm *so* hungry!
**[01:27] Adam**
*    That lady never seems surprised*
*    when she sees Mutou-san's head.*
**[01:31] Adam**
    *Maybe she has some kind of secret...*
**[01:34] Mutou**
    *Woof, woof.*
**[01:35] Mutou**
    *Lady Tsuki, look! It's the shadow of a dog!*
**[01:40] Mutou**
*    It is too bright in here for shadows!*
*    Curse the march of technology!*
**[01:44] Mutou**
*    I honestly do not know if what*
*    I am trying to do will matter...*
**[01:48] Mutou**
*    But I feel for certain that*
*    these onigiri are the key.*

**[01:53] Manager**
    Ueno-kun, do you know where
    the "Help Wanted" poster is?
**[01:56] Ueno**
    We're hiring?
**[01:57] Manager**
    Yeah.
**[01:58] Manager**
    Tabata-san's leaving in two weeks...
**[02:01] Manager**
    Didn't you know?
    She's moving in with her boyfriend.
**[02:06] Manager**
    There it is.
**[02:11] BF**
    What then?
**[02:11] Tabata**
    So he says: "Fine, I'll have it
    with lime." Hilarious, huh?
**[02:14] BF**
    It's not like it was a gin and tonic!
**[02:16] Tabata**
    I know, right?!
**[02:18] Ueno**
    Tabata-san... and some good-looking guy!
**[02:21] Akiba**
    Oh, hey, you're hiring? Sweet!
**[02:24] OL**
    Hey, Tsukiko, there's a sale
    on onigiri with nori seaweed!
**[02:27] Tsukiko**
    Yeah, but...
**[02:28] OL**
    Oh, right, you can't eat rice.
**[02:31] Tsukiko**
    It's not like I have an allergy, but yeah...
**[02:33] Tsukiko**
    I definitely don't like it.
**[02:35] OL**
    Let's go check out the buns then!
**[02:36] Mutou**
    *It would seem God... can be truly cruel.*
**[02:40] Ueno**
    The face... It's the face...
**[02:43] Ueno**
    In the end, it's all about the face...
**[02:49] Ueno**
    *The face...*
**[02:50] Mutou**
*    How can I possibly get her to*
*    notice me if she does not eat rice?*
**[02:57] Mutou**
    *That's it. I know how!*
