[00:14] Umi
    It's still there.
[00:17] Fuuka
    You can't get a hold of Kukuru?
[00:19] Karin
    She won't pick up the phone.
[00:22] Karin
    Do you know anything?
[00:25] Fuuka
    No.
[00:26] Karin
    Ah...
[00:28] Karin
    She's not the type to skip work
    without telling anyone.
[00:31] Karin
    I'm a bit worried.
[00:32] Fuuka
    I'll check her room when I get home.
[00:35] Fuuka
    She might be
[00:36] Fuuka
    at home.
[00:37] Karin
    Please.
[00:38] Karin
    I'll let you know as soon
    as I get in touch with her.
[00:41] Fuuka
    Okay.
[00:41] Fuuka
    Thank you.

[04:00] Karin
    Did she respond?
[04:02] Fuuka
    Yes.
[04:03] Fuuka
    She seems to be safe.
[04:04] Karin
    Okay.
[04:06] Karin
    Her presentation didn't go well.
[04:08] Karin
    I wonder if she's depressed.
[04:10] Karin
    I might have pressured her too much
[04:12] ---
    when I lectured her about the joys
    of work and stuff.
[04:14] Fuuka
    She'll be all right.
[04:16] Fuuka
    I think.
[04:17] Fuuka
    She's just a bit tired.
[04:21] Fuuka
    She's fine.
SIGN    I wanted to see Gama Gama  one last time, but I couldn't go
SIGN    I want some time off
SIGN    I'll talk to the assistant director
SIGN    Go ahead and take a break
SIGN    I'm glad you're safe
[04:33] Kukuru
    Seriously, what am I doing?
[04:44] Misaki
    Kukuru-chan?
[04:46] Misaki
    I thought so!
[04:47] Misaki
    It's been a while, huh?
[04:50] Kukuru
    Misaki-san?
[04:55] Umi
    Whoops.
[04:57] Umi
    Thanks.
[05:00] Eiji
    That's your wife, right?
[05:02] Umi
    Yup.
[05:03] Eiji
    You said she's on the smaller islands.
[05:05] Eiji
    What does she do?
[05:07] Umi
    She's an associate professor.
[05:09] Umi
    She studies sea turtles.
[05:11] Eiji
    Brilliant.
[05:14] Umi
    We're both so obsessed with work
    that we rarely see each other.
[05:23] Misaki
    It's been such a long time.
[05:25] Misaki
    You've been working with Gou-chan
    since Gama Gama closed, right?
[05:29] Kukuru
    Gou-chan?
[05:32] Kukuru
    Oh.
[05:39] Misaki
    Are you over here for work?
[05:41] Misaki
    There's a tiny little aquarium here, too,
    called Kamehausu.
[05:46] Kukuru
    Oh, yeah.
[05:48] Misaki
    I thought that's why you were here.
[05:51] Kukuru
    Not necessarily.
[05:57] Misaki
    Is something wrong?
[06:00] Kukuru
    Work isn't going too well.
[06:02] Misaki
    I see.
[06:04] Kukuru
    I came to run away.
[06:08] Misaki
    Yeah?
[06:10] Misaki
    Well, now that you've run away,
    you might as well enjoy it more.
[06:14] Misaki
    You're going to get yelled at later, anyway.
[06:16] Misaki
    There's no sense being sad about it yet.
[06:19] Misaki
    It's a huge waste.
[06:20] Misaki
    You tried hard, and it didn't work out,
    so take a break.
[06:22] Misaki
    Reflect after you've taken a break.
[06:24] Misaki
    And get back to work
    after you've reflected some.
[06:26] Misaki
    You can't do all that
    at the same time. Right?
[06:33] Misaki
    Where are you staying, Kukuru-chan?
[06:35] Kukuru
    I haven't decided yet.
[06:37] Misaki
    You should come where I'm staying, then.
[06:40] Misaki
    They said there's a room open.
[06:43] Misaki
    Well, now that that's settled,
    let's tend to some business.

[07:01] Kukuru
    By "business," you meant picking up litter?
[07:02] Misaki
    This kind of driftage can get in the way
    when hatchlings try to return to sea.
[07:08] Kukuru
    They're born here?
[07:10] Misaki
    Yeah.
[07:11] Misaki
    They came to shore 50 days ago
    and laid their eggs.
[07:15] Misaki
    Ideal solar conditions,
    perfect accumulated temperature.
[07:19] Misaki
    Once you start seeing dents in the sand,
    they start hatching.
[07:23] Kukuru
    I've never seen sea turtles hatch.
[07:26] Kukuru
    We never did artificial incubation
    at either Gama Gama or Tingarla.
[07:30] Misaki
    You'll be blown away, then!
[07:32] Misaki
    The ground wells up as if it's erupting.
[07:35] Misaki
    And the baby turtles come springing out!
[07:38] Misaki
    They march forward,
    toward the light of the sea.
[07:42] Misaki
    When you see it, it makes you realize that
    that's the moment you've been working for.
[07:49] Kukuru
    I can put up with anything,
    if it's for the animals.
[07:55] Misaki
    Come on! At least pick up some garbage
    if you're going to be staring at your feet.
[07:59] Misaki
    Dinner will taste better
    if you get plenty of exercise.
[08:04] Boss
    She's sick?
[08:05] Fuuka
    Yes.
[08:06] Fuuka
    She has a fever and says
     she has a stomachache.
[08:11] Fuuka
    So, um...
[08:12] Boss
    Basically, she's fake sick.
[08:15] Fuuka
    She's not!
[08:16] Fuuka
    It's true that she's not feeling well.
[08:19] Boss
    Absent without notice.
[08:20] Boss
    She's working on a project right now,
    and the new area is opening soon.
[08:24] Fuuka
    I'll make up for Kukuru!
[08:27] Boss
    Your job isn't to take care of Misakino.
[08:31] Fuuka
    We'll deal with this ourselves.
[08:33] Fuuka
    Go back to your own work.
[08:39] Fuuka
    He didn't have to say it like that!
[08:42] Fuuka
    Jeez!
[08:49] Fuuka
    I'm sorry!
[08:50] Kai
    No, was that a Kukuru impression?
[08:53] Fuuka
    Kukuru?
[08:54] Kai
    Oh, uh, nothing.
[08:57] Kaoru
    Speaking of which,
    is Misakino-san off work today?
[09:01] Kaoru
    Someone from the equipment team told me.
[09:03] Kaoru
    People love talking about her.
[09:05] Kaoru
    She pops up everywhere.
    The Cryptid Behind the Scenes.
[09:09] Kai
    "Cryptid"?
[09:11] Kaoru
    There's a lot of cryptid fans
    out there, you know.

    I'll be in your care.
[09:21] Misaki
    They won't hatch overnight.
[09:23] Misaki
    Get plenty of rest.
[09:25] Kukuru
    Thanks.
[09:52] Kukuru
    So pretty.

SIGN    Dreams of Blue Turtles
[10:25] Kukuru
    Good morning.
[10:27] A
    Morning.
[10:29] A
    Did you sleep well?
[10:31] Kukuru
    I overslept.
[10:33] A
    Nothing wrong with getting plenty of sleep.
[10:36] Kukuru
    Hey, have you seen Misaki-san?
[10:38] A
    Oh, what was it that she said...
[10:41] A
    Oh, right. "Fieldwork."
[10:45] A
    You must be hungry.
[10:48] A
    Here.
[10:49] Kukuru
    Thank... you.
[10:52] A
    I made lots.
[10:54] A
    Eat well.
[11:02] A
    Is Kamehausu close by?
[11:08] A
    It's still here!
[11:09] B
    You should keep it at the aquarium.
[11:14] Gramps
    It's got family in the ocean.
[11:18] Gramps
    You wouldn't want to be separated
    from your family, would you?
[11:22] Fuuka
    Gramps. Why are you here?
[11:24] Gramps
    I have time to spare.
[11:26] Gramps
    So I come check on it sometimes.
[11:28] Gramps
    It doesn't seem to be weakening.
[11:31] Fuuka
    Yes, but it's just been going back
    and forth around there.
[11:35] Gramps
    Maybe it had a terrifying experience.
[11:40] Gramps
    Oh, the Gama Gama kids are moving
    to Tingarla soon.
[11:47] Gramps
    Choko and the gang.
[11:49] Gramps
    Tell Kukuru for me.
[11:51] Gramps
    I'm sure she'll be happy.
[11:53] Fuuka
    Okay.
SIGN    Big news!
SIGN    Gramps just told me that Choko  and the others are coming to Tingarla.

    Fuuka!

    Let's do Shiratama's checkup.
[12:10] Fuuka
    Okay.
[12:13] Marina
    3,220 grams.
[12:16] Chiyu
    No problem there.
[12:17] Fuuka
    Sorry, you're almost done.
[12:28] Fuuka
    I want to give her some space.
[12:31] Fuuka
    I should wait until she's back
    to tell her about Choko, right?
[12:44] Fuuka
    Popo!
[12:48] Fuuka
    From the base of the beak and the back.
[12:51] Fuuka
    It looks like the back's
    been pecked pretty bad.
[12:55] Fuuka
    Okay.
[12:58] Fuuka
    Okay.
[13:00] Fuuka
    Okay!
[13:01] Fuuka
    Please and thank you!
[13:02] Garandu
    I got some bandages.
[13:04] Marina
    Thank you, Gyarandou-san!
[13:06] Gerando
    It's "Garandou."
[13:08] Chiyu
    Popo's so curious.
[13:11] Chiyu
    They must have wandered
    into someone else's territory.
[13:13] Fuuka
    I should have been paying attention.
[13:15] Gerando
    It's all right.
[13:16] Gerando
    Penguins get into fights all the time.
[13:19] Gerando
    You don't have to worry about it.

    Welcome.
[15:19] Kukuru
    Thanks for having me.

    You're a guest. You can relax.
[15:23] A
    Oh, hey, you found that, huh?
SIGN    Today's Mission
SIGN    Find the Reef Stonefish!
[15:27] A
    It's camouflaged with the rocks.
[15:29] A
    You get a coral decoration
    if you can find it.
[15:33] B
    Hey, Yama!
[15:34] A
    Hey.
[15:35] B
    It's the reef stonefish today?
[15:37] B
    Find it! Find it!
[15:43] B
    I found the reef stonefish!
[15:45] C
    Over here, too!
[15:46] A
    That was fast.
[15:49] A
    Let's see...
[15:51] A
    Yep, correct.
[15:53] A
    Help yourselves to a ice cream.
[15:54] B
    Yay! That was so easy!
[15:57] Kukuru
    Ice cream?
[15:58] A
    The kids don't want the coral.
[16:01] A
    So we draw them
    with ice cream instead.
[16:03] A
    But they get faster and faster
    at finding them.
[16:06] Kukuru
    They're here for the ice cream, huh?
[16:08] A
    It's fine.
[16:09] A
    Anything that gets them to come in.
[16:11] A
    As long as it gets them to love fish.
[16:16] A

[16:42] Kukuru

[16:49] Fuuka
    Hang in there!
[16:50] Takeshita
    There.
[16:52] Takeshita
    Now let's keep an eye on them for a while.
[16:55] Takeshita
    We might not want to let
    them out for a few days.
[16:58] Takeshita
    If they're having a hard time eating,
    chop up or mince the feed.
[17:03] Takeshita
    Make sure they don't lose weight.
[17:05] Fuuka
    Okay.
[17:06] Fuuka
    Thank you.
[17:09] Takeshita
    Were you that worried?
[17:11] Fuuka
    It hurts my heart to see animals suffer.
[17:17] Fuuka
    I can't stand not being able
    to do anything for them.
[17:21] Takeshita
    That goes for vets and attendants alike.
[17:24] Takeshita
    We can't communicate with them in words,
[17:26] ---
    so it's hard to know what to do for them.
[17:31] Takeshita
    Especially when one passes
    after I've been taking care of them.
[17:36] Takeshita
    You don't have to worry so much.
[17:39] Takeshita
    They'll recover just fine with some care.
[17:41] Takeshita
    You don't need to be watching them all day.
[17:44] Fuuka
    Okay.
[17:45] Takeshita
    There's no time to be regretting things
    when you're dealing with animals.
[17:50] Takeshita
    Don't wallow. Struggle!
[17:52] Fuuka
    Don't wallow?
SIGN    AM: Came up to ask for food. Gave them 5 fish.  Asked for more, so gave them 2 more.
SIGN    12:00 approx: Peeped into a nest near the staff area entrance,  got pecked on by several excited penguins around the right eye and back,  leading to bleeding. We cleaned the areas and stopped the bleeding, and called  Dr. Takeshita just in case. We've covered the cartilage for safety, and will be keeping  an eye on them for several days. No appetite issues so far.  Will force feed if they don't eat. If they still don't eat,  we'll mince food and feed directly using a catheter.
SIGN    Notes
SIGN    Popo was injured even though I was nearby. I was too busy taking care  of Shiratama to notice there was a problem.
SIGN    To prevent this from happening again...
[18:08] Fuuka
    What could I do?
[18:10] Umi
    There you are.
[18:12] Fuuka
    Umi-yan-san.
[18:14] Umi
    I found out where Kukuru-chan is.
[18:16] Umi
    She's with my wife.
[18:19] Umi
    She seems to be doing well.
[18:21] Umi
    You can relax.
[18:22] Fuuka
    Where is she?
[18:24] Chiyu
    It's fine.
[18:25] Chiyu
    I've been giving you plenty
    of trouble anyway.
[18:28] Marina
    We'll take care of Popo!
[18:30] Fuuka
    Thank you!
[18:40] Kukuru
    Come in.
[18:43] Misaki
    I heard you checked out the aquarium.
[18:45] Misaki
    Yama-chan told me.
[18:47] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[18:47] Kukuru
    I even got a gift.
[18:49] Misaki
    They're hatching.
[18:52] Misaki
    Tonight.
[18:53] Misaki
    My students saw the indicators.
[19:09] A
    It's a perfect night for hatching.
[19:11] Misaki
    The waves are nice and calm, too.
[19:14] Misaki
    This is Yamahara-san.
[19:15] Misaki
    He helps out with research
    at my university every year.
[19:19] Yamahara
    We met during the day, didn't we?
[19:21] Kukuru
    Thank you for the coral decoration.
[19:23] Misaki
    Yama-chan works as a tour guide around this time
    of the year, when the turtles hatch.
[19:28] A
    Sensei, it's starting.
[19:31] Yamahara
    Please don't shine light on them
    with your phones or flashlights!
[19:34] Yamahara
    The hatchlings will be
    drawn to them and get lost.
[19:39] Yamahara
    And please be careful
    not to stand in their way!
[20:09] B
    Huh? They aren't moving.
[20:14] Yamahara
    Don't worry.
[20:15] Yamahara
    These kids know what they need to do,
    and where they need to go.
[20:22] Yamahara
    They're just saving up their
    strength in the sand.
[20:25] Yamahara
    For when they start running.
[20:31] Kukuru
    You can do it.
[21:39] Fuuka
    It's amazing.
