[00:00] (Flashback) Aoi
    I understand how you feel, Himari.
[00:03] (Flashback) Aoi
    I really do, but...
[00:08] (Flashback) Aoi
    I don't want to put you in danger.
[00:11] (Flashback) Aoi
    Please try to understand me, too.
[00:24] Himari
    I guess he didn't come today...
[00:29] Aoi
    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    Episode 7  The Looking Glass at Twilight
[02:08] Aoi
    Himari?
[02:11] Aoi
    Off to school?
[02:12] Himari
    Y-Yeah...
[02:15] Aoi
    What's wrong, Himari?
[02:17] Aoi
    Something seems amiss.
[02:19] Himari
    Th-That's not true!
[02:23] Aoi
    Your face is red. Do you have a fever?
[02:26] Himari
    I-I'm fine! Really!
[02:29] Aoi
    What? But...
[02:30] Himari
    I'm off!
[02:32] Ise
    What's up with her?
[02:38] Nachi
    The term refers to biography-style
     novels that rose
[02:41] Nachi
    to popularity in the later
    half of the Edo period.
[02:44] Himari
    Ugh, what's wrong with me?
[02:44] Nachi
    They took off with the populace
    after the Kansei Reforms.
[02:48] Himari
    They totally think I've lost my mind.
[02:48] Nachi
    Some notable examples of these "yomihon" 
    novels include Ugetsu Monogatari
[02:50] Himari
    It's nothing new for Aoi
    to get so up close and personal.
[02:54] Nachi
    and Nanso Satomi Hakkenden by Kyokutei Bakin.
[02:54] Himari
    So why am I acting so weird about it now?
[02:57] Nachi
    They're still famous to this day,
    so some of you might have heard of them.
[03:04] Nachi
    Yomihon are known for themes of poetic
    justice and karmic retribution, but...
[03:06] Iizuka
    Himari-chan, your face is red and you're spacing out.
    -Hana
[03:06] Iizuka
    Himari-chan, your face is red
    and you're spacing out.
[03:10] Madarame
    Is it love? I bet you're thinking about your crush!
    -Rui
[03:10] Madarame
    Is it love? I bet you're thinking
    about your crush!
[03:14] Himari
    What? My crush...?
[03:17] Himari
    No! No way, no how! Aoi's like family!
[03:20] Himari
    Besides, I barely know him yet.
[03:24] Himari
    Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!
[03:26] Nachi
    Momochi-san.
[03:27] Himari
    Y-Yes?!
[03:28] Nachi
    Do you have your homework?
[03:30] Himari
    Oh, I forgot...
[03:33] Nachi
    Momochi-san, why don't you clean up the ancient
     literature prep room today after class?
[03:39] Himari
    Y-Yes, sir...
[03:41] Madarame
    Man, this sucks.
[03:45] Iizuka
    Sorry. It was our fault.
[03:48] Himari
    No, I'm the one dragging you guys into this.
[03:52] Himari
    Hidaka-kun wasn't even part of it...
[03:56] Hidaka
    Don't sweat it.
[03:57] Hidaka
    I owe you a ton anyway. This much is nothing.
[04:01] Himari
    I'm seriously sorry.
[04:03] Madarame
    Forget Hidaka. What's Senoo doing here?
[04:06] Senoo
    I'm coming to ask Nachi-sensei
    something again!
[04:10] Senoo
    He's basically my mentor
    in all things occult!
[04:15] Madarame
    An occult mentor?
SIGN    Ancient Literature Prep Room
[04:17] Madarame
    There's no way Nachi-sensei is that shady—
[04:26] Hidaka/Madarame/Iizuka
    Talk about shady...
[04:28] Nachi
    My, so many of you came with Momochi-san.
[04:32] Nachi
    You're lifesavers.
[04:34] Nachi
    I got a little lazy about cleaning,
    and before I knew it...
[04:37] Himari
    A little?
[04:39] Madarame
    This mess?
[04:43] Nachi
    Anyway, I appreciate your help.
[04:47] Nachi
    I'll treat you to some tea for the trouble.
[04:49] All
    Okay!
[04:52] Iizuka
    Where's this mask even from?
[04:54] Madarame
    This can't be real, right?
[04:58] Himari
    What's this? A round board?
[05:00] Hidaka
    Looks really old.
[05:03] Nachi
    Oh, that's a bronze mirror.
[05:06] Nachi
    Or a looking glass, as they call it.
[05:08] Nachi
    It's considered rather valuable
    among fans of this kind of thing.
[05:12] Senoo
    In other words...
[05:13] Senoo
    It's cursed?!
[05:15] Nachi
    Who knows?
[05:17] Nachi
    Its history's kind of a mystery.
[05:20] Nachi
    I'm not even certain what it's supposed to do,
[05:23] Nachi
    but I'm of the belief that the mirror
    shows people what they want to see most.
[05:29] Himari
    What they want to see most?
[05:32] Nachi
    The hearts of others.
[05:34] Nachi
    Momochi-san, is there someone's
    heart you wish to know?
[05:38] Himari
    Someone's heart...?
[05:40] Nachi
    Give it a try.
[05:47] Himari
    That's nice, but...
[05:49] Hidaka
    It's too foggy to see anything.
[05:53] Nachi
    I know. It's so old, the mirror's faded.
[05:57] Iizuka
    So you were just joking around?
[05:59] Madarame
    I knew it.
[06:02] Himari
    A looking glass...
[06:04] Himari
    I'm almost relieved I couldn't see anything.
[06:07] Himari
    I shouldn't be peering into anyone's heart.
[06:14] Hidaka
    Okay, let's finish up and get going!
[06:17] Madarame
    Sounds good.
[06:18] Iizuka
    Just a bit more!
[06:19] Senoo
    That was fun!
[06:24] Himari
    Phew, I'm beat.
[06:28] Mom
    Welcome home, Himari.
[06:30] Dad
    Welcome home.
[06:39] Himari
    It's good to be home, Mom and Dad!
[06:43] Dad
    Himari, you were later than usual today.
[06:48] Himari
    Well, my teacher asked me
    to stay behind and help clean.
[06:52] Mom
    Uh-oh, what did you do?
[06:55] Himari
    T-To be honest, I forgot my homework.
[06:59] Mom
    Well, that's not good.
[07:03] Dad
    Everyone has days like that.
[07:06] Himari
    Wait... Something's not right.
[07:08] Himari
    Say, Dad, were you off work today?
[07:12] Dad
    I happened to get the day off.
[07:13] Dad
    So we can be together forever, Himari.
[07:16] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
     just us family.
[07:20] Himari
    Sure...
[07:22] Himari
    I knew it. Something's wrong... but what?
[07:27] Kasha
    Jesting carried too far is all but annoying.
[07:36] Himari
    Kasha?
[07:37] Kasha
    The human eye is no better than a marble.
[07:41] Kasha
    Clouded by sweet dreams,
    easily led astray from the truth...
[07:48] Kasha
    How foolish.
[07:51] Mom
    Himari?
[07:53] Dad
    Is something the matter?
[07:55] Himari
    N-Nope.
[07:56] Mom
    Dinner tonight is your favorite, fried tofu.
[08:01] Mom
    It'll be ready soon.
[08:02] Himari
    Yeah, there's no way this is right.
    Because...
[08:06] Himari
    Y-You're both already dead, aren't you?
[08:15] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari...
[08:17] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
     just us family...
[08:25] Dad/Mom
    Himari!
[08:33] Dad/Mom
    Himari! Himari!
[08:36] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari...
[08:40] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
    just us family...
[08:57] Himari
    No...
[08:58] Himari
    Those things aren't my mom and dad!
[09:05] Himari
    I-Is that Nachi-sensei's...?
[09:12] Himari
    What is it doing here?
[09:16] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari.
[09:20] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
    just us family.
[09:23] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari.
[09:26] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
    just us family.
[09:33] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari.
[09:36] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
    just us family.
[09:40] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari.
[09:40] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
    just us family.
[09:50] Himari
    Ise! Yukari-san!
[09:52] Ise
    You okay?
[09:54] Yukari
    Come, this way.
[09:57] Dad/Mon
    Himari!
[10:05] Yukari
    This area is protected by a barrier,
    so we should be safe.
[10:10] Himari
    Thanks. But what's going on?
[10:14] Himari
    How could I have thought those
    things were my parents?
[10:18] Yukari
    This place seems different
    from Momochi House as we know it.
[10:22] Ise
    We've been trapped inside.
[10:24] Himari
    We're trapped?
[10:26] Himari
    But who would...
[10:28] Himari
    Of course! It was him!
[10:30] Ise
    Him who?
[10:31] Himari
    It was Kasha! He's here again.
[10:34] Himari
    I bet this is another one of his traps.
[10:37] Yukari
    You don't say.
[10:39] Yukari
    Nevertheless, you needn't concern
     yourself with such things.
[10:44] Yukari
    As long as you stay here, you're safe.
[10:47] Himari
    B-But...
[10:48] Ise
    Who cares about Kasha?
[10:50] Ise
    Just forget him.
[10:51] Ise
    Himari, I'll protect you no matter what.
[10:54] Ise
    So you just stay put right here.
[10:56] Yukari
    If you stay here,
    you won't ever be hurt again.
[11:00] Yukari
    You won't need to think about anything.
[11:08] Himari
    W-Wait! What about Aoi?
[11:11] Himari
    Where is he? Is he safe?
[11:14] Ise
    Aoi's fine. Forget about him.
[11:18] Yukari
    For now, Himari...
[11:19] Yukari
    You only need to think of yourself.
[11:21] Himari
    No! Something's definitely wrong here...
[11:26] Himari
    Who are you?
[11:27] Himari
    Yukari-san and Ise would never say to forget
    about Aoi in a situation like this!
[11:32] Himari
    Who are you two?!
[11:34] Yukari
    I'm Yukari. We're family, aren't we?
[11:39] Ise
    I'm Ise. Your friend, remember?
[11:44] Himari
    You're lying!
[11:49] Himari
    Everyone's lost it!
[11:50] Himari
    But why? What am I supposed to do?
[12:00] Dad
    We can be together forever, Himari.
[12:04] Mom
    Let's stay together like this,
     just us family.
[12:08] Dad/Mom
    Himari! Hima—
[12:11] Himari
    Aoi!
[12:14] Aoi
    I'm glad you're safe.
    It's all okay now, Himari.
[12:18] Aoi
    You did well to hang in there.
[12:20] Himari
    Yeah.
[12:22] Himari
    Yukari-san and Ise, and even Momochi
    House are all acting weird.
[12:26] Himari
    I have no clue what's caused all this.
[12:29] Aoi
    It might be Kasha's doing.
[12:31] Himari
    I figured.
[12:32] Himari
    He showed up all of a sudden, started
    talking nonsense, and disappeared...
[12:38] Aoi
    Himari, what's that?
[12:40] Himari
    Oh, this?
[12:43] Himari
    It's called a looking glass.
    My teacher had it at school.
[12:48] Himari
    I don't know how I ended up with it...
[12:50] Aoi
    A looking glass?
[12:52] Himari
    Yeah. My teacher said it shows
    people what they want to see most.
[12:57] Himari
    That you can look into the hearts of others.
[13:00] Aoi
    Whose heart do you want to see into, Himari?
[13:04] Himari
    What? Th-That's...
[13:07] Aoi
    Could it be me?
[13:10] Himari
    I-It was just a coincidence!
[13:12] Himari
    I just happened to think
    of you when I heard that!
[13:15] Himari
    It doesn't mean anything deep...
[13:16] Aoi
    You don't need to use something
    like that to know how I feel.
[13:23] Aoi
    Himari, stay by my side.
[13:26] Aoi
    Don't go anywhere. Please...
[13:29] Himari
    Aoi...
[13:32] Himari
    It's okay. I'll be by your side.
[13:37] Aoi
    Really?
[13:38] Himari
    Yeah.
[13:39] Aoi
    Then... can I trap you here for all eternity?
[13:44] Aoi
    Will you live with me
    in Momochi House forever?
[13:48] Himari
    Th-That's... something I can't do.
[13:52] Aoi
    Why not?
[13:53] Himari
    Because I promised I'd help you!
[13:57] Himari
    That I'd make sure you return
     to the outside world!
[14:00] Aoi
    That's impossible.
[14:02] Himari
    Aoi...
[14:03] Aoi
    I'm destined to stay within Momochi House.
[14:07] Aoi
    That's been true until now,
    and it forever will be.
[14:10] Aoi
    Because I'm already an ayakashi.
[14:20] Himari
    You're... not Aoi.
[14:22] Himari
    Aoi would never joke about that.
[14:25] Aoi
    How do you know that?
[14:27] Himari
    B-Because...
[14:29] Aoi
    Do you not like me this way?
[14:31] Aoi
    Then...
[14:34] Nue
    How do you fancy this version?
[14:38] Nue
    Himari...
[14:41] Nue
    Let us fall into a peaceful
    eternal slumber together...
[14:43] Himari
    No, let me go!
[14:47] Shadow Himari
    Why are you fighting back?
[14:49] Shadow Himari
    Why?
[14:52] Shadow Himari
    This world is a reflection of
    everything my heart desired...
[14:56] Shadow Himari
    I would be happier if
    things stayed like this.
[15:00] Himari
    Is that me?
[15:05] Shadow Himari
    In this world,
[15:07] Shadow Himari
    I can live with Mom and Dad as a family.
[15:12] Shadow Himari
    It's exactly what I want.
[15:15] Shadow Himari
    That's right.
[15:16] Shadow Himari
    I've always wanted a family
    for myself, haven't I?
[15:21] Shadow Himari
    Here, I don't have to look for clues
     that may not even exist,
[15:28] Shadow Himari
    because my father and mother
    are right here with me!
[15:32] Himari
    That isn't my family!
[15:34] Himari
    They're not the parents
    I want to get to know.
[15:37] Himari
    And besides, my family now is...
[15:39] Shadow Himari
    Everyone at Momochi House?
[15:41] Shadow Himari
    Is that what you think?
[15:44] Shadow Himari
    Sure, Aoi, Yukari-san,
    and Ise are all family.
[15:47] Shadow Himari
    They're bonded together.
[15:51] Shadow Himari
    But I'm just someone who barged in on them.
[15:57] Shadow Himari
    Do they really accept me?
[16:00] Shadow Himari
    Am I really a part of their family to them?
[16:03] Himari
    Th-That's...
[16:05] Shadow Himari
    After all, I'm just a helpless,
     useless human.
[16:11] Shadow Himari
    Aoi and the others always have to save me.
[16:14] Shadow Himari
    Everyone probably just thinks I'm in the way.
[16:19] Himari
    That's not...
[16:21] Shadow Himari
    Aoi must be over me already.
[16:24] Shadow Himari
    He's thinking, "How much trouble must
    she cause before she's satisfied?"
[16:29] Himari
    That's not true! Aoi has always protected me!
[16:32] Shadow Himari
    He has to because I possess
    the Momochi bloodline.
[16:36] Himari
    That's not true! There's no way!
[16:39] Himari
    Aoi has always been genuine!
[16:42] Himari
    I believe in him. I always will.
[16:47] Shadow Aoi
    You believe in him? On what basis?
[16:50] Shadow Aoi
    He's hiding something from me...
[16:53] Shadow Aoi
    And I already know that, don't I?
[16:55] Shadow Aoi
    How can I believe someone
    who won't tell me the whole truth?
[17:02] Himari
    It's true that Aoi's hiding something.
[17:05] Himari
    And he sometimes lies
     or won't tell me important things.
[17:10] Himari
    But none of that matters!
[17:13] Himari
    I have faith. In Aoi,
    and in myself for believing in him!
[17:18] Shadow Himari
    Are you really okay with that?
[17:20] Aoi
    In this world, I'll be exactly
    who you want me to be.
[17:24] Aoi
    My heart is in the palm of your hand.
[17:26] Aoi
    You're free to love and be loved as you want.
[17:29] Nue
    I can understand your heart
    wholly and completely.
[17:33] Nue
    There's still time.
[17:34] Yukari
    There's nothing to fret.
[17:36] Yukari
    You can forget all that's happened so far.
[17:39] Ise
    Gotta start fresh, you know?
[17:42] Dad/Mom
    Let's stay together.
[17:47] Aoi
    Stay and live the same day
    in this world with me...
[17:51] Nue
    Now, Himari... Come.
[17:56] Himari
    I won't lose my way again.
[17:59] Himari
    Or run away. I've found my answer.
[18:02] Himari
    I don't want to live out
    the same day for eternity.
[18:06] Himari
    I want to see what changes
    tomorrow brings with Aoi!
[18:09] Himari
    That's why... I don't need
    this world of make-believe!
[18:15] Kasha
    Oho...
[18:16] Kasha
    I thought all you were good for
    was annoying clamoring.
[18:29] Kasha
    Though I suppose...
[18:32] Kasha
    howling can be useful when
    done with persistence.
[18:35] Himari
    Kasha? Why would you come for me?
[18:38] Kasha
    Don't flatter yourself. I simply
    couldn't stand the thought...
[18:42] Kasha
    Nue is an entity betwixt human and ayakashi.
[18:46] Kasha
    An ayakashi unlike any other, blended with
    a foreign being to reach profound beauty.
[18:51] Kasha
    Seeing such a crude imitation makes me sick.
[18:55] Kasha
    Moreover, I won't abide a mere human
     meddling with the likes of ayakashi.
[19:01] Kasha
    Now, Momochi girl...
    What do you plan on doing?
[19:08] Himari
    Oh no! Th-The looking glass!
[19:11] Kasha
    Will you continue your howling
    in this world of make-believe?
[19:16] Kasha
    I can always come up with better
    dolls for you to play with.
[19:20] Himari
    You wish!
[19:22] Himari
    I'm going to back to Momochi House...
    where Aoi is!
[19:27] Kasha
    Mirrors are like snakes. They are deceitful.
[19:31] Kasha
    They are tools that reveal people's delusions
    and shift their shape to reach them.
[19:37] Himari
    Delusions?
[19:39] Kasha
    Is that not the sentiment
    you call a strong desire of the heart?
[19:42] Kasha
    You small humans.
[19:46] Himari
    Hey, wait!
[19:48] Himari
    Gosh, he's always so impossible
     to understand...
[19:52] Himari
    Delusions, or strong desires of the heart...
[19:55] Himari
    Mirrors are tools
    to reflect those and reach them?
[19:59] Himari
    Wait, that means...
[20:08] Himari
    Please. I want to go home.
[20:11] Himari
    I want to see Aoi.
    I need to tell him something.
[20:19] Himari
    Aoi...
[20:25] Himari
    Aoi!
[20:30] Nachi
    Momochi-san?
[20:32] Hidaka
    Momochi?
[20:36] Madarame
    Himari?
[20:37] Iizuka
    Are you okay?
[20:38] Himari
    Yeah, I... What happened?
[20:42] Nachi
    You took one glance at the looking
    glass and suddenly collapsed.
[20:46] Himari
    What? I did?
[20:48] Senoo
    Well, only for a few minutes.
[20:52] Himari
    A few minutes?
[20:54] Himari
    So I was able to make it back to reality.
[20:57] Nachi
    Momochi-san, are you really okay?
[21:01] Himari
    Yes, I was just dreaming.
[21:03] Nachi
    Dreaming?
[21:04] Himari
    It was a strange dream, but thanks to it,
    I learned something important.
[21:10] Nachi
    Momochi-san, tell me about it sometime.
[21:14] Nachi
    That dream of yours.
[21:21] Himari
    There's no way to know for sure
    whether it was real or a dream,
[21:27] Himari
    but one thing I can say for sure is that
    my feelings are no dream or delusion.
[21:36] Himari
    Aoi!
[21:38] Aoi
    Welcome home, Himari.
[21:42] Aoi
    What's got you in such a rush?
[21:45] Aoi
    I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
[21:54] Aoi
    Aoi...
[21:56] Aoi
    What is it, Himari?
[21:58] Himari
    You see, it's just...
[22:00] Himari
    I... I'm in love with you, Aoi.
