    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:02] ---
    Wow! A gift for you!
[00:04] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:11] ---
    Nothing happening,
[00:13] ---
    every day feels the same
[00:15] ---
    Over and over, just
[00:17] ---
    waiting for time to pass
[00:19] ---
    When I'm with you,
[00:21] ---
    I can feel
[00:22] ---
    something so special,
[00:24] ---
    and I want to make it real
[00:27] ---
    Look, I'm really grateful every day, but you know
[00:30] ---
    I feel like I'm not doing enough in return
[00:32] ---
    "I was just feeling like it.
[00:33] ---
    No real meaning or reason why."
[00:35] ---
    Stop complaining and just take it already!
[00:39] ---
    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:40] ---
    Yeah, there's no way that's how it goes!
[00:42] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:44] ---
    Whoa oh oh oh oh
[00:46] ---
    An angel just landed
[00:48] ---
    Right in front of me
[00:50] ---
    With a smile that looked
[00:52] ---
    Like her wings spreading open
[00:53] ---
    Hey, that's against all the rules
[00:55] ---
    You look so happy
[00:57] ---
    Wipe off that look
[00:59] ---
    Before my mind goes blank
[01:01] ---
    If you keep this up,
[01:03] ---
    You're gonna spoil me rotten
[01:06] ---
    Come on, you gotta do something about this

[01:29] Student
    Good morning!
[01:30] Student
    Good morning.
[01:31] Amane
    What's that?
[01:33] Itsuki
    A change of clothes.
[01:34] Amane
    Wherefore?
[01:35] Itsuki
    Put me up?
[01:36] Amane
    Huh?
[01:38] Itsuki
    Got in a fight with Dad this morning.
[01:40] Amane
    About Chitose?
[01:42] Itsuki
    Yeah.
[01:43] Amane
    So? How long do you need to stay?
[01:45] Itsuki
    Hmm.
[01:46] Itsuki
    At least three days, if I can.
[01:49] Amane
    Well spring break starts tomorrow,
    so it's no problem if you stay over.
[01:53] Amane
    But I should let her know first.
SIGN    A Promise with the Angel
[02:02] Mahiru
    It's good to see you again, Akazawa-san.
[02:04] Itsuki
    Good to see you, too!
[02:06] Itsuki
    I hate to barge in on your love nest lik—
[02:08] Itsuki
    O-Ouch! It was a joke!
[02:11] Itsuki
    I'm sorry to trouble you like this.
[02:13] Mahiru
    Oh, it's fine. The more the merrier.
[02:17] Amane
    He'll only make it noisier.
[02:20] Mahiru
    That isn't something we say to guests.
[02:25] Mahiru
    Well, then. I'll start dinner,
    so make yourself at home.
[02:34] Itsuki
    You're close enough that you gave her a key?
[02:36] Amane
    Shove it.
[02:39] Itsuki
    Amazing!
[02:41] Mahiru
    Thank you very much.
[02:43] Itsuki
    Amane is way too lucky
    to eat this cooking every day.
[02:47] Amane
    Yeah, I'm aware of that.
[02:50] Amane
    Today was delicious, too.
[02:52] Mahiru
    Thank you very much.
[02:55] Itsuki
    I really think...
[02:57] Amane
    What?
[02:58] Itsuki
    Nah, I'll save it.
[03:03] Itsuki
    Man, you're so nice to Shiina-san.
    There's no way you aren't into her.
[03:08] Amane
    Shut up.
[03:10] Itsuki
    Yeah, yeah. I know you won't just admit it.
[03:14] Itsuki
    But, look.
[03:15] Itsuki
    Everyone at school probably thinks you're
     just some weird, antisocial nerd.
[03:21] Amane
    I'm aware of that.
[03:23] Itsuki
    But that's all based on surface stuff,
    not on who you really are inside.
[03:28] Itsuki
    Shiina-san does see the inside, though,
     and you two still get along.
[03:33] Itsuki
    Makes me happy to see it.
[03:37] Itsuki
    Shiina-san really trusts you.
[03:41] Itsuki
    Before you brush it off and say
    it'll never happen between you two,
[03:44] Itsuki
    take a closer look, bud.
[03:47] Amane
    Oh, yeah?
[03:52] Chitose
    Ikkun only? Not fair!
    I want to eat Mahirun's cooking, too!
[03:56] Amane
    Well, that isn't up to me. Talk to Shiina.
[03:59] Chitose
    Fine! I'll go ask Mahiru!
[04:03] Chitose
    And now look who's here!
[04:05] Itsuki
    You didn't waste a second!
[04:07] Chitose
    When I thought of staying over
    at Mahirun's, I couldn't sit still!
[04:12] Amane
    Staying over?
[04:13] Chitose
    Since it's spring break,
    I figured it would be fine.
[04:16] Chitose
    Mahirun's okay with it, too, right?
[04:20] Amane
    She forced her way in.
[04:23] Chitose
    I can't wait to eat Mahirun's cooking!
[04:25] Chitose
    Ikkun! I missed you!
[04:27] Mahiru
    You don't need to worry.
    I already agreed to it.
[04:28] Itsuki
    I missed you, too, Chi!
[04:30] Chitose
    Really?
[04:31] Itsuki
    I was super lonely!
[04:34] Amane
    Can I help with something?
[04:34] Chitose
    I can't wait to try Mahirun's home cooking!
[04:37] Itsuki
    Is it the cooking, or did you
     really come just to see me?
[04:39] Mahiru
    Too steamy for you over there?
[04:40] Chitose
    Huh? Of course not...
[04:42] Amane
    Yeah, they get so touchy-feely.
[04:45] Amane
    By the way, what's for lunch today?
[04:47] Mahiru
    Chitose-san requested omurice.
[04:50] Mahiru
    You like egg dishes, too,
    don't you, Amane-kun?
[04:53] Amane
    Yeah, eggs are great!
[04:56] Amane
    And yours are always the best,
    so I'm excited for it.
[05:03] Amane
    What's wrong?
[05:04] Mahiru
    It's very nice of you to say,
    but don't surprise me like that.
[05:09] Amane
    What do you mean?
[05:11] Mahiru
    You don't need to know!
[05:17] Itsuki
    All that and they aren't together?
    I really don't get it.
[05:21] Chitose
    Me neither.
[05:29] Chitose
    Wow, that was so good!
[05:31] Itsuki
    You really can cook anything, Shiina-san!
[05:35] Itsuki
    It's amazing you can make an omelette
    that's still soft-scrambled and fluffy inside!
[05:41] Mahiru
    It's all thanks to the person
    who taught me to cook.
[05:44] Chitose
    If I got that person to teach me,
    maybe I could get as good as Mahirun.
[05:50] Amane
    If you stopped fooling around and
    experimenting, I'm sure you'd do fine.
[05:55] Amane
    But it isn't just cooking. You could try
    to chill out a little in general.
[06:00] Amane
    You've got a good model here to learn from.
[06:02] Chitose
    I could never be like Mahirun.
[06:05] Chitose
    She seems so uptight.
[06:08] Amane
    Hey, that's rude to Shiina.
[06:10] Chitose
    I know. But Mahirun at school...
    always looks so bored.
[06:18] Mahiru
    Do I really seem that way?
[06:20] Chitose
    Well, I can't say for sure
    since we're in different classes.
[06:24] Chitose
    Maybe not bored, but just kind of aloof.
    I mean, distant from everyone else.
[06:34] Chitose
    But when I see that cute
    and innocent look on your face,
[06:37] Chitose
    I know this is the real you.
[06:40] Chitose
    I like this Mahirun the best!
[06:45] Chitose
    Mahirun, hey, why don't you
    open up a little?
[06:49] Chitose
    I bet you could, like,
    totally get Amane to spoil you.
[06:53] Chitose
    I mean, he's always super sweet
    to people who are nice to him,
[06:57] Chitose
    so I bet you could tame him
    in no time, Mahiru.
[07:00] Mahiru
    I wouldn't do that!
[07:03] Mahiru
    What you're imagining
    will never happen, Chitose-san.
[07:07] Chitose
    Oh, yeah?
[07:20] Amane
    The bath is all yours.
[07:22] Itsuki
    Cool.

    From Chitose?
[07:38] Amane
    That idiot!
[07:43] Itsuki
    Chi said, "Take one of Amane, too."
[07:47] Itsuki
    And guys don't care if you take
    pictures of them, right?
[07:50] Amane
    I guess not, but there's
    no reason to take one of me.
[07:54] Itsuki
    Oh, there totally is.
[07:57] Amane
    The next day, Itsuki's three-day visit ended.
[08:01] Amane
    After that, he's spending
    a couple days at Chitose's.
[08:04] Mahiru
    W-With Mr. Bear?
[08:06] Amane
    Yeah. She sent me a picture like that.
[08:10] Amane
    You really are taking care of it.
[08:12] Mahiru
    Well, of course I am.
    It's something you chose for me.
[08:16] Mahiru
    Don't worry, I'll treasure it.
[08:19] Mahiru
    I clean and pet it every day,
    and I cuddle up to him in be—
[08:24] Mahiru
    Uh...
[08:25] Mahiru
    I didn't just say that!
[08:27] Mahiru
    Pretend I didn't! Please forget it!
[08:29] Amane
    Er, um, it's too late for that.
[08:31] Mahiru
    It makes me look bad!
[08:33] Mahiru
    I sound like a child,
    sleeping with a stuffed animal.
[08:38] Amane
    I can imagine it and it's super cute!
    Okay by me!
[08:41] Mahiru
    Please stop imagining it!
[08:44] Mahiru
    You need to share something embarrassing, too!
[08:46] Mahiru
    It isn't fair if it's just me!
[08:48] Amane
    Huh?!
[08:49] Mahiru
    If you won't tell me, I'll send
    Akazawa-san a message and ask him.
[08:54] Amane
    When did you exchange numbers?!
[08:57] Mahiru
    I asked Chitose-san to tell me
    and we've been in touch.
[09:00] Mahiru
    Even that picture yesterday...
[09:03] Mahiru
    Oh, never mind!
[09:06] Mahiru
    Please forget it.
[09:09] Amane
    Hey, you got a text or something.
[09:12] Mahiru
    Okay.
[09:17] Amane
    Mahiru?
[09:21] Mahiru
    It's... nothing at all.
[09:24] Mahiru
    Please don't worry about it.

    You are really nothing but trouble.
[09:44] Sayo
    You sure take after him.
[09:46] Sayo
    I can't imagine anything more annoying.
[09:48] Sayo
    You could have at least turned out like me,
[09:52] Sayo
    but you ended up like him.
[09:55] Sayo
    I don't care, though. Once you graduate
    college, we'll go our separate ways.
[10:00] Sayo
    No point in losing sleep over it.
[10:02] Sayo
    Keep sending me the necessary paperwork.
[10:05] Sayo
    Mail is fine.
[10:06] Mahiru
    Okay.
[10:08] Sayo
    Bye, then. Mind your own business
    and please don't cause trouble again.
[10:36] Mahiru
    Were you listening?
SIGN    Shiina
[10:38] Amane
    I'm sorry. Um, who was that?
[10:41] Mahiru
    Sayo Shiina. My biological mother.
[10:45] Mahiru
    Just so you know, she's always
    been like that, so I'm used to it.
[10:50] Mahiru
    My mother has always hated me.
[10:54] Mahiru
    She's never going to change,
    so please don't be concerned.
[11:11] Amane
    Stay with me.
[11:15] Mahiru
    I'll be fine. You don't
    need to worry, Amane-kun.
[11:20] Amane
    I'm saying that I want you to stay with me.
[11:50] Mahiru
    It's a boring story, but may I tell you?
[11:54] Amane
    Mm-hmm.
[11:57] Mahiru
    My parents didn't marry out of love.
[12:01] Mahiru
    I'll spare you the details, but it was
    more about their families' mutual interests.
[12:08] Mahiru
    So it seems they never
    intended to have children.
[12:15] Mahiru
    But one night, they made a mistake.
[12:19] Mahiru
    Once I was born, they reluctantly
    supported me, but only financially.
[12:26] Mahiru
    I don't think they ever intended to raise me.
[12:30] Amane
    What do you mean, they never
    meant to raise you?
[12:34] Mahiru
    They only rarely came home.
[12:38] Mahiru
    And when they did,
    they only treated it like a hotel.
[12:44] Mahiru
    Ever since I was young,
    I've haven't seen much of my parents.
[12:50] Mahiru
    I don't remember them
    ever acting like parents.
[12:53] Mahiru
    The person who actually raised me
    was our housekeeper.
[12:58] Mahiru
    My parents just handed me
    money and left me alone.
[13:02] Mahiru
    It was clear I wasn't wanted.
[13:06] Mahiru
    But no matter how hard
    I tried, or how good I was,
[13:10] Mahiru
    they never paid attention to me.
[13:12] Mahiru
    I guess they never will really look at me.
[13:16] Mahiru
    I grew up properly, excelled at studying,
    sports, and even housework,
[13:24] Mahiru
    but they never once paid any attention to me.
[13:30] Mahiru
    I keep trying, even though I know
    it'll never change. I must be stupid.
[13:38] Mahiru
    All of my efforts were for nothing.
[13:43] Mahiru
    They can't get divorced while I'm around.
[13:47] Mahiru
    Neither one wants to take me in.
[13:51] Mahiru
    They're just waiting until I finish college.
[13:55] Mahiru
    Once I become independent,
    we'll basically be strangers.
[14:00] Amane
    That's so...
[14:02] Mahiru
    When my mother told me directly
    that I was an "unwanted child,"
[14:06] Mahiru
    it was a pretty big shock.
[14:09] Mahiru
    It left me feeling so numb I ended up
    just sitting on a swing in the rain.
[14:18] Mahiru
    I thought, if I'm such a burden,
    why did you even have me?
[14:23] Mahiru
    A-Amane-kun...
[14:25] Amane
    I think I understand now
    why you turned out like this.
[14:32] Mahiru
    You mean someone so cold?
[14:34] Amane
    Hell no.
[14:36] Amane
    I mean someone so restrained, who doesn't
     want others to see her imperfections.
[14:42] Amane
    I mean, I know isn't my place
    to criticize your family.
[14:47] Amane
    I can't stick my nose
    into another family's business.
[14:51] Amane
    But I can pretend not to see
     what you don't want seen.
[14:54] Amane
    If you want to cry, then cry.
[14:56] Amane
    If you keep trying so hard to hold it back,
    you're just gonna suffocate.
[15:04] Mahiru
    Will you keep it a secret?
[15:07] Amane
    I don't see anything to tell.
[15:08] Mahiru
    Then, just for a bit,
    lend me your shoulder...
[15:24] Mahiru
    Y-You're looking now!
[15:26] Amane
    Of course I am. You were leaning on me.
[15:30] Amane
    I made sure I couldn't see
     the actual crying, though.
[15:35] Mahiru
    Amane-kun?
[15:37] Amane
    What now?
[15:38] Mahiru
    Thank you.
[15:41] Amane
    I don't know what you mean.
[15:43] Mahiru
    Please let me lean on you a little longer.
[15:57] Mahiru
    What am I supposed to do now?
[16:03] Mahiru
    No matter how hard I try, they ignore me.
[16:05] Mahiru
    Other people are the same way.
[16:08] Mahiru
    The Mahiru Shiina who acts like
    an angel is adored, and she's wanted.
[16:15] Mahiru
    But the real me isn't wanted at all.
[16:18] Mahiru
    I know that's the face I present to the world,
     so it's dumb to feel bitter about it.
[16:26] Mahiru
    I know I'm really not very nice.
    I'm cowardly and selfish.
[16:31] Mahiru
    I'm inherently mean-spirited
    and I have a sharp tongue.
[16:34] Mahiru
    Nothing about me is likable.
[16:36] Amane
    I actually like you a lot.
[16:40] Amane
    Sure, sometimes you aren't very nice,
[16:44] Amane
    but you're still someone
    I care about and want to protect.
[16:48] Amane
    That's how I feel.
[16:52] Amane
    I like the way you don't mince words.
[16:56] Amane
    And if you were really mean-spirited,
    you wouldn't be worried about this stuff.
[17:00] Amane
    Stop second-guessing yourself.
[17:05] Amane
    Give yourself some credit.
[17:07] Amane
    You have someone right here
    who sees and likes the real you.
[17:16] Amane
    Hmm? Ah! No...
    I mean, Chitose thinks so, too!
[17:21] Amane
    I didn't mean anything by that!
    It isn't just me!
[17:25] Amane
    My parents, Chitose and Itsuki...
[17:28] Amane
    They see your un-angelic parts
    and still really like you!
[17:31] Amane
    You don't realize it, but you're... yeah...
[17:36] Amane
    a much more likable person than you think!
[17:40] Amane
    Why are you crying again?!
[17:43] Mahiru
    I just feel really blessed.
[17:45] Amane
    I don't think you're nearly blessed enough.
[17:48] Amane
    It's okay to put yourself first sometimes.
[17:51] Mahiru
    Then can I ask you a favor?
[17:54] Amane
    What is it?
[17:55] Mahiru
    It's something only you can do, Amane-kun.
[17:59] Mahiru
    Please look at me more.
[18:02] Amane
    I already see how hard you work,
[18:05] Amane
    and if I look away,
    I feel like you might fly off somewhere.
[18:08] Amane
    I'm watching.
[18:09] Mahiru
    And please hold on to me.
[18:12] Amane
    I'll hold on to your hand.
[18:16] Mahiru
    Just for today,
[18:21] Mahiru
    please hold on to all of me.
[18:34] Amane
    Is something wrong?
[18:36] Mahiru
    I-It's just... I'm embarrassed that you
    saw me acting so pathetic earlier.
[18:41] Amane
    It really doesn't bother me.
[18:43] Mahiru
    But it bothers me!
[18:45] Amane
    You need to let yourself
    depend on others more.
[18:48] Amane
    You know, you aren't alone.
[18:52] Mahiru
    I'm not alone?
[18:54] Amane
    I'm right here next to you.
[18:56] Amane
    Then there's Itsuki, Chitose,
    my mom and dad...
[19:00] Amane
    A lot of people think you're special
    because you're you, Mahiru.
[19:05] Mahiru
    Do you, too?
[19:08] Mahiru
    Do you think I'm special, too, Amane-kun?
[19:12] Amane
    Yeah, well... we spend so much time together,
[19:15] Amane
    of course I'm gonna think you're special.
[19:19] Mahiru
    Is that... right?
[19:23] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, do you want to go out for a bit?
[19:33] Mahiru
    The new term starts soon.
[19:35] Amane
    Yeah, I know. The thought of changing
    classes is depressing, though.
[19:39] Mahiru
    I'm looking forward to changing classes.
[19:42] Amane
    Because you might be
    in the same class as Chitose?
[20:01] Amane
    M-Mahiru?
[20:05] Mahiru
    I just wanted... to thank you again.
[20:08] Amane
    O-Oh.
[20:12] Mahiru
    You've done so, so much for me, Amane-kun.
[20:16] Amane
    I haven't done anything special.
[20:18] Mahiru
    It's all been special to me.
[20:21] Mahiru
    Having you beside me makes me so happy.
[20:25] Mahiru
    I don't think I could have handled it alone.
[20:30] Amane
    Okay.
[20:32] Mahiru
    Please keep looking at me, like you promised.
[20:35] Mahiru
    And don't let your eyes wander!
[20:37] Amane
    O-Okay?
[20:39] Amane
    I can't see you right now, though.
[20:41] Mahiru
    If you look now, I'll get mad.
[20:44] Amane
    You're so unreasonable.
[20:47] Amane
    At this rate, it'd be weird
    if I didn't fall for her.
[20:55] Amane
    Oh, wow.
[21:01] Mahiru
    I never really liked cherry blossoms.
    Or even spring.
[21:07] Amane
    Huh?
[21:09] Mahiru
    At school entrance ceremonies...
    graduation ceremonies, too,
[21:12] Mahiru
    I was always alone.
[21:15] Mahiru
    I didn't have anyone to hold my hand.
[21:18] Mahiru
    Nobody to walk with me.
[21:22] Mahiru
    So I never really liked spring.
[21:25] Mahiru
    It reminded me of the pain of being alone.
[21:30] Amane
    I'm here with you right now.
[21:32] Mahiru
    Yes, you are.
[21:34] Amane
    I hope I can be enough for you today.
[21:37] Mahiru
    You aren't "enough."
[21:40] Amane
    Sorry, then.
[21:40] Mahiru
    No, that isn't what I meant!
[21:44] Mahiru
    It's not like I'm settling for you. Okay?
[21:48] Amane
    Oh, y-yeah?
[21:54] Mahiru
    I'm glad I came here with you, Amane-kun.
[21:59] Mahiru
    I think I like cherry blossoms
    a little more now.
[22:15] ---
    Hey, darling, something I gotta say—
[22:18] ---
    will you listen and not laugh it away?
[22:20] ---
    I think if I just said, "I love you,"
[22:23] ---
    it would sound really lame
[22:25] ---
    But you know, any other words I try
    wouldn't tell you what's really on my mind
[22:31] ---
    See? I knew you would start laughing
    and teasing me anyway
[22:36] ---
    Did you make the right choice
    to spend your life with me?
[22:41] ---
    Do you really think it's okay? I don't know
[22:49] ---
    But through the tears and the laughter,
    the days you spend with me
[22:55] ---
    Being able to stand next to each other
    has become the reason I'm living today
[23:05] ---
    So I dedicate to you this song of our love
[23:11] ---
    After all of the nights
    we've seen through to the day
[23:15] ---
    I'm with you, together,
    singing about our love
SIGN    Next Time
