[00:02] Shoko
    I don't think I've ever had
    a good understanding
[00:06] Shoko
    of what I do and don't know.
[00:11] Shoko
    I don't even know what
    I don't know about men.
[00:17] Shoko
    I just don't really get it.
[00:22] Shoko
    Seigi-kun, are you listening?
[00:26] Seigi
    Isn't it about time?
[00:31] Shoko
    Well, I'm off to my marriage meeting.
SIGN    Episode 8
    The Angel's Aquamarine
[02:24] Richard
    Did you do poorly on a test?
[02:27] Richard
    You look like the world is ending.
[02:32] Seigi
    Just kill me.
[02:39] Seigi
    Tanimoto-san's going to a marriage meeting.
[02:43] Seigi
    Oh, I guess she's already there.
[02:46] Seigi
    Which means I don't have a chance...
[02:49] Seigi
    Go for broke? I'm broke before
    I even went for anything...
[02:56] Seigi
    Could you hold on to this for a while?
[03:02] Richard
    Are you familiar with
    the words of Machiavelli?
[03:05] Seigi
    Machiavelli?
[03:06] Richard
    People regret the things they didn't do
    more than the things they did.
[03:19] (Flashback) Seigi
    They're beautiful!
[03:21] (Flashback) Richard
    They're both gemstones relating to the sea.
[03:25] (Flashback) Richard
    Lapis lazuli is also sometimes
    called ultramarine.
[03:30] (Flashback) Richard
    "Marine" meaning the sea,
    and "ultra" meaning beyond.
[03:33] (Flashback) Seigi
    Ultra?
[03:34] (Flashback) Richard
    Yes.
[03:35] (Flashback) Richard
    The lapis lazuli that was brought
    from Afghanistan to Europe
[03:39] (Flashback) Richard
    was "the blue that came from beyond the sea."
[03:43] (Flashback) Seigi
    I see.
[03:45] (Flashback) Richard
    This aquamarine was mined
    in Santa Maria, Brazil.
[03:52] (Flashback) Richard
    The stone's name means "seawater" in Latin.
[03:55] (Flashback) Richard
    Sailors have used aquamarines as
    protective charms since ancient times.
[04:00] (Flashback) Richard
    In addition to signifying good fortune,
    they're also called the angel's stone.
[04:06] (Flashback) Seigi
    Angel...
[04:08] (Flashback) Seigi
    That's perfect for Tanimoto-san.
[04:12] (Flashback) Richard
    Did you know that Étranger
    offers an employee discount?
[04:19] (Flashback) Seigi
    I'll buy it!
[04:30] Richard
    Seigi.
[04:32] Richard
    Are you free tonight?
[04:34] Seigi
    Yeah, I am.
[04:39] Richard
    Then I'll take you to dinner.
[04:44] Seigi
    You're such a good guy.
[04:47] Seigi
    But I'll pass tonight.
[04:49] Richard
    I see.
[04:50] Seigi
    Thanks. I really appreciate the thought, but...
[04:54] Richard
    Don't worry about it.
[05:12] Seigi
    Huh?
[05:14] Seigi
    Homura-san?
[05:19] Seigi
    Good to see him looking well.
[05:26] Seigi
    What... is Tanimoto-san doing here?
[05:35] Seigi
    Huh?
[05:37] Homura
    Nakata-kun, right?
[05:39] Homura
    It's me, Homura. It's been a while.
[05:42] Seigi
    Hello.
[05:44] Homura
    Thank you for your help back then.
[05:46] Seigi
    Don't mention it.
[05:48] Seigi
    Um, Homura-san...
[05:49] Homura
    Yes?
[05:53] Seigi
    No... It's nothing.
[05:57] Homura
    I'm the one Shoko-chan was meeting.
[06:02] Homura
    She told me you two are friends from school.
[06:06] Homura
    I was surprised.
[06:08] Seigi
    "Shoko-chan"?
[06:11] Homura
    I've known her for a long time.
[06:14] Homura
    Our parents were friends.
[06:16] Shoko
    Our parents were friends.
    He played with me a lot.
[06:21] Seigi
    Yeah, she mentioned it.
[06:23] Homura
    I know she said she was
    glad to have a friend
[06:26] Homura
    she could discuss the
    marriage meeting with,
[06:29] Homura
    but she even told you that?
[06:31] Seigi
    I was surprised. I could hardly believe a
    college student had a marriage meeting.
[06:36] Homura
    Our parents are excited about it, but not me.
[06:40] Seigi
    What about Tanimoto-san? How does she feel?
[06:43] Homura
    Why don't you ask her yourself?
[06:46] Seigi
    Huh?
[06:47] Homura
    Well, I should get going.
[06:49] Homura
    Sorry for holding you up.
[07:02] Shoko
    Seigi-kun, are you listening?
[07:06] Seigi
    Isn't it about time?
[07:10] Shoko
    Well, I'm off.
[07:14] Seigi
    Huh?
[07:16] Seigi
    Wait, Tanimoto-san...
[07:24] Seigi
    Don't go!
[07:35] Seigi
    Just a dream...
[07:57] Seigi
    Tanimoto-san!
[08:00] Shoko
    Seigi-kun.
[08:02] Shoko
    I heard you know Homura-san.
[08:06] Shoko
    What a surprise.
[08:08] Seigi
    Oh, yeah...
[08:11] Shoko
    Seigi-kun?
[08:12] Seigi
    Um, Tanimoto-san...
[08:17] Seigi
    About Homura-san...
    Do you really want to marry him?
[08:24] Shoko
    Why?
[08:25] Seigi
    Why? Because, uh...
[08:30] Seigi
    I guess you could say...
    I'm worried about you.
[08:39] Shoko
    I don't really know what it
    means to be with a man.
[08:44] Seigi
    Huh?
[08:45] Shoko
    I like Homura-san.
[08:47] Shoko
    Like how I like my dad or mom.
[08:50] Shoko
    But I don't know what it means
    to like someone in a different way.
[08:56] Shoko
    Someone I thought was a friend once said to me,
[08:58] Shoko
    "I like you. Please go out with me."
[09:03] Shoko
    We were having so much fun as just friends,
    but I guess that wasn't enough.
[09:10] Shoko
    Well, once I get married,
[09:12] Shoko
    I won't have to worry about
    romance anymore, right?
[09:17] Shoko
    So I want to get married.
[09:21] Shoko
    I'm the worst, aren't I?
[09:25] Shoko
    Sometimes I see myself as a gemstone
    that was mistakenly put on display.
[09:31] Shoko
    Among beryls, there are
    aquamarines containing iron,
[09:35] Shoko
    emeralds containing chromium,
[09:37] Shoko
    and goshenite containing
    nothing at all, right?
[09:41] Shoko
    But since colorless, transparent aquamarines
    and goshenite look the same,
[09:47] Shoko
    goshenite is often put on
    display as aquamarine...
[09:52] Shoko
    even though it's a totally different
    beryl that contains no iron.
[09:58] Shoko
    Just like how choosing not to fall in love
[10:00] Shoko
    and never understanding it in
    the first place aren't the same.
[10:09] Seigi
    Maybe that's how love works,
    but I think marriage is different.
[10:14] Shoko
    Huh?
[10:15] Seigi
    My mom's a divorcée.
[10:18] Seigi
    My dad was an awful guy.
[10:21] Seigi
    She's remarried now,
    but she probably did it for me.
[10:26] Seigi
    I think it's okay for some
    marriages to be like that.
[10:29] Seigi
    If someone says otherwise, then...
[10:33] Shoko
    Then?
[10:35] Seigi
    Then they're...
[10:42] Seigi
    They're probably the kind of person
    who'd say gemstones are all the same.
[10:46] Seigi
    Even though they're all one of a kind.
[10:50] Shoko
    Do you remember what you
    said about me, Seigi-kun?
[10:54] Seigi
    How cool...
[10:56] Shoko
    That made me way happier
    than being called cute or pretty.
[11:03] Seigi
    I wish you all the best.
[11:07] Shoko
    Thank you, Seigi-kun.
[11:18] Seigi
    I've decided to support her.
[11:22] Richard
    Support who?
[11:23] Seigi
    I'm going to support
    Tanimoto-san's marriage meetings.
[11:27] Seigi
    It's really for the best.
[11:29] Richard
    May I offer my thoughts?
[11:32] Seigi
    Go ahead.
[11:35] Richard
    You fool.
[11:38] Seigi
    Say whatever you want.
[11:41] Seigi
    I've already made up my mind.
[11:43] Seigi
    The best thing I can do isn't asking her out.
[11:48] Seigi
    She's on a date with Homura-san
    at the science museum right now.
[11:53] Seigi
    It's for the best.
[11:56] Seigi
    If you're free tonight, Richard,
    let's go out together.
[12:00] Seigi
    We can toast to Tanimoto-san's happiness.
[12:03] Seigi
    I guess you'll be having a parfait...
SIGN    Shiseido Parlour
[12:11] Richard
    Seigi, let me tell you an interesting story.
[12:16] Seigi
    You're ignoring me?
[12:18] Richard
    Long ago, somewhere in England,
[12:22] Richard
    there lived a boy with a very beautiful face.
[12:28] Richard
    No matter what he did,
[12:31] Richard
    he was cursed to always have
    people talk about his face.
[12:43] Richard
    One day, he met a girl.
[12:48] Richard
    They met in the Japanese department.
[12:50] Richard
    Seeing the boy so concerned about his face,
    she said to him quite plainly,
[12:55] Richard
    "Don't worry about it."
[12:58] Richard
    He'd never met anyone like her before.
[13:02] Richard
    It didn't take long for him to fall in love.
[13:07] Richard
    But the boy bore a second curse:
[13:13] Richard
    his great-grandfather's inheritance.
[13:18] Richard
    Faced with such tremendous wealth,
    the girl said the following:
[13:23] Richard
    "I'm scared I'd choose the money
    if something happened."
[13:27] Richard
    "I'd rather break up than
    be that kind of person."
[13:36] Richard
    Question: if you were him,
    how would you have responded to her?
[13:44] Seigi
    I'd like to tell her not to worry about
    it and to stay with me forever.
[13:49] Seigi
    But that's hard to say...
[13:51] Richard
    It is.
[13:53] Richard
    But even without the inheritance,
    if she wanted to break up,
[13:57] Richard
    clinging to her would've
    only made him miserable.
[14:01] Richard
    Therefore, he chose silence.
[14:05] Seigi
    He didn't say anything?
[14:08] Richard
    That's why I shared Machiavelli's
    words with you the other day.
[14:15] Seigi
    We regret the things we don't do
    more than the things we did.
[14:19] Richard
    That's right.
[14:22] Richard
    If I were you, I'd be running to her
    instead of sitting around here.
[14:29] Richard
    Do you realize? You often
    compliment my appearance,
[14:35] Richard
    but you have trouble expressing affection
[14:38] Richard
    for those you don't wish to dislike you.
[14:42] Richard
    You mentioned before that you
    were afraid of being disliked.
[14:46] Richard
    But hasn't it been long enough?
[14:48] Richard
    It's time to forget the cowardly hero of justice.
[14:52] Seigi
    Huh?
[14:54] Richard
    Seigi, abandon your vanity and shame.
[14:58] Richard
    Aren't you the man who follows his heart
    and embraces his inborn meddlesomeness
[15:03] Richard
    in order to lead the people around
    him toward bright futures?
[15:12] Richard
    Go to the science museum.
[15:19] Seigi
    I really like you.
[15:25] Richard
    I like you very much as well, Seigi.
[15:29] Richard
    I'm glad to have met you.
[15:31] Richard
    From the moment we met until now.
    That hasn't changed.
[15:37] Seigi
    If you're still open by the time I'm done,
    I'll be back at mach speed.
[15:40] Richard
    At least invite her out to dinner.
[15:43] Seigi
    Yeah.
[16:06] Seigi
    Richard once told me...
[16:09] Seigi
    that gemstones lead people to
    the answers they truly desire.
[16:24] Shoko
    Huh? Seigi-kun?
[16:31] Homura
    Shoko-chan, I'm going to make a call.
[16:33] Shoko
    Okay.
[16:36] Shoko
    What a surprise.
[16:40] Seigi
    Tanimoto-san, I...
[16:44] Seigi
    The other day, I said I thought it was okay
     for some marriages to be that way.
[16:49] Seigi
    That I'd support your decision.
[16:53] Seigi
    But I'm sorry... I can't after all.
[16:55] Shoko
    Seigi-kun?
[17:08] Shoko
    An aquamarine...
[17:10] Seigi
    I've been wanting to give it to you.
[17:13] Shoko
    To me?
[17:15] Seigi
    Yeah.
[17:16] Seigi
    The moment Richard
    showed me this aquamarine,
[17:20] Seigi
    I thought it was perfect for you.
[17:24] Seigi
    You're like an angel.
[17:30] Seigi
    To me, that's the kind of person you are.
[17:35] Shoko
    Seigi-kun, you mean this is how you see me?
[17:39] Seigi
    Yeah.
[17:41] Seigi
    I don't think all gemstones are the same.
[17:44] Seigi
    But in the near future,
    you might find someone you like.
[17:51] Seigi
    You might want to fall in love.
[17:55] Seigi
    I don't think you have to give up on that yet.
[17:59] Seigi
    So... So I...
[18:02] Seigi
    I don't want you to get married.
[18:15] Shoko
    I probably would've blown that off
    if it came from anyone else.
[18:23] Shoko
    But since it's you, Seigi-kun...
[18:30] Shoko
    I want to thank you.
[18:34] Shoko
    You really are a hero of justice.
[18:39] Seigi
    Huh?
[18:40] Shoko
    Seigi-kun, do you remember
    when we first met?
[18:44] Seigi
    Of course I do.
[18:47] Shoko
    When things aren't going well
    for me or my head feels foggy,
[18:52] Shoko
    I like to help those in need.
[18:54] Shoko
    I pretend to be a good person
    to feel better about myself.
[19:00] Shoko
    But imagine my surprise when
    a real nice person showed up.
[19:06] Shoko
    My kindness is self-satisfaction,
    but you're different.
[19:11] Shoko
    You're someone who hears cries
    for help and extends a hand.
[19:17] Seigi
    I'm not...
[19:18] Shoko
    Seigi-kun, you remembered what
    I said the other day, didn't you?
[19:25] Shoko
    After talking about it,
[19:28] Shoko
    I felt I couldn't get married
    to run away from something.
[19:34] Shoko
    If I did that, I wouldn't like myself.
[19:37] Shoko
    I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
[19:39] Shoko
    So...
[19:41] Seigi
    So?
[19:43] Shoko
    I'm going to turn down Homura-san.
[19:46] Shoko
    You helped me realize my feelings.
[19:53] Shoko
    Thank you, Seigi-kun.
[20:06] Seigi
    You really are cool, Tanimoto-san.
[20:12] Homura
    You're a coward.
[20:15] Seigi
    I know. I hate myself.
[20:19] Homura
    Next time, you'd better tell her you like her.
[20:25] Homura
    By the way, I received a call
    from Richard-san the other day.
[20:30] Homura
    Where's he going?
[20:33] Seigi
    Where? What do you mean?
[20:37] Homura
    Isn't Étranger going to be closed
    for a while starting tomorrow?
[20:41] Seigi
    Étranger's closing?
[20:44] Seigi
    I haven't heard anything about that.
[20:47] Homura
    You should call the store.
[20:57] Seigi
    It's Seigi.
[20:58] Richard
    How did it go?
[20:59] Seigi
    Well, it didn't go horribly.
[21:03] Seigi
    I failed to ask her out to dinner,
    but I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
[21:07] Richard
    You needn't come back today.
[21:10] Seigi
    What? Why not?
[21:12] Richard
    Now that I think about it,
    we've known each other for some time now.
[21:16] Seigi
    Huh? What are you saying?
[21:19] Richard
    I've paid your salary in full.
[21:22] Richard
    Don't worry about the rest.
[21:25] Seigi
    What are you talking about?
[21:26] Richard
    One last thing...
[21:28] Seigi
    Wait.
[21:30] Seigi
    I'm on my way back to the store now.
