[01:31] Rean
    And then you take this
    and give it a good tug.
[01:35] Fushi
    A good tug.
[01:37] Rean
    Hey, Fushi-san...
[01:38] Rean
    I'm having my sixteenth
    birthday party next month.
[01:42] Rean
    Would you and Gugu like to come?
[01:44] Fushi
    Sure. I'll let Gugu know.
[01:47] Rean
    I'm so happy.
[01:50] Beholder
    Fushi has not transformed once
    in the past four years.
[01:55] Beholder
    Since he never regenerated
    by changing forms,
[02:00] Beholder
    his body aged in accordance
    with the time that had passed.
[02:07] Beholder
    There were two reasons
    he never changed forms.
[02:11] Beholder
    First is that he was fortunate enough to
    never encounter his archenemy, the Nokkers.
[02:18] Beholder
    The second is that Fushi
    himself had chosen so.
[02:24] Beholder
    It seems he wanted to experience life
[02:26] Beholder
    the same way Gugu and the others
    do: without transforming.
[02:30] Beholder
    To that end, he also never created anything.
[02:34] Beholder
    If you ask me,
[02:36] Beholder
    life as a human being is a repetition of
    mundane days, lacking in stimulation.
[02:41] Beholder
    Naturally, there's also little to gain.
[02:45] Beholder
    For example, a stone crayfish.
[02:48] Beholder
    A thread shrimp.
[02:49] Beholder
    A wet cloth and bucket.
[02:51] Beholder
    Meer the dog.
[02:53] Beholder
    A pot.
[02:55] Beholder
    A stone weight.
[02:56] Beholder
    Pottery shards.
[02:58] Beholder
    A nasty potato.
[03:00] Beholder
    And a sewing needle.
[03:02] Rean
    Did you poke yourself?
[03:04] Rean
    Oh, no! I'll ask the old man
    for some disinfectant.
[03:07] Fushi
    I'm fine.
[03:08] Fushi
    It's not a big deal.
[03:11] Rean
    Are you sure?
[03:12] Fushi
    So... what were we talking about again?
[03:17] Rean
    What does Gugu like?
[03:19] Fushi
    Oh, Gugu likes crayfish.
[03:23] Rean
    Crayfish?
[03:25] Rean
    All right.
[03:26] Rean
    I'll cook some on the day of the party.
[03:28] Rean
    Oh, I know! If I make him a shirt,
    do you think he'll wear it?
[03:32] Fushi
    I've never seen him wearing a shirt.
[03:35] Rean
    I wonder if there's anything he'd
    want that I could make him.
[03:39] Fushi
    He was saying he wanted a rag for his feet.
[03:43] Rean
    A rag...
[03:44] Rean
    I'd rather not.
[03:46] Fushi
    Why not?
[03:47] Fushi
    I'm sure he'd appreciate
    anything you give him.
[03:52] Rean
    Are you sure?
SIGN    Gift From the Past
[03:59] Rean
    You know...
[04:00] Rean
    I have to get married when I'm sixteen.
[04:03] Rean
    To the person my parents chose for me.
[04:05] Rean
    Do you know what "getting married" is?
[04:09] Rean
    Getting married means I have
    to become like my mom.
[04:14] Rean
    I get together with some person I don't love
    and give birth to some snotty brat.
[04:18] Fushi
    And you don't want that?
[04:19] Rean
    Of course not.
[04:21] Rean
    I've never even really seen his face.
[04:25] Fushi
    Does he wear a mask? Like Gugu?
[04:28] Rean
    That's not what I mean.
[04:31] Rean
    First of all, I'm not marrying
    someone I don't like.
[04:35] Rean
    So I'm thinking of introducing my boyfriend
    to Mom and Dad at the birthday party.
[04:40] Rean
    Which means, before that...
    Before that, I need to get a boyfriend.
[04:44] Rean
    Which means I need to become
    close with someone I like.
[04:48] Rean
    Become... close...
[04:53] Rean
    I have to make it work.
[04:57] Fushi
    This... is kind of like how it feels
    when Gugu's talking to you.
[05:02] Fushi
    Is this thing you're feeling
    what it means to be in love?
[05:05] Rean
    Gugu said what? What are you talking about?
[05:07] Fushi
    Is the person you like Gu—
[05:10] Rean
    It's done!
[05:11] Rean
    A crayfish face mask!
[05:14] Rean
    What do you think?
[05:15] Fushi
    Looks good. Are you giving it to Gugu?
[05:18] Rean
    What did you make, Fushi-san?
[05:20] Fushi
    A sweat rag for the old man.
[05:22] Fushi
    For his pits.
[05:23] Rean
    Good job!
[05:25] Rean
    That's amazing.
[05:26] Rean
    I'm sure he'll love it.
[05:34] Shin
    Gugu?
[05:41] Shin
    It's you, isn't it?
[05:43] Shin
    It's me. Your brother.
[05:47] Fushi
    Aren't you going to ask him?
[05:49] Fushi
    Ask Gugu.
[05:51] Rean
    Ask him what?
[05:52] Fushi
    To marry you.
[05:56] Rean
    Were we ever talking about Gugu?
[05:59] Fushi
    I thought we were.
[06:02] Fushi
    You know, don't you?
[06:05] Fushi
    Gugu likes you.
[06:07] Fushi
    So I'm sure he'd be glad to marry you.
[06:13] Booze Man
    Man, I'm beat.
[06:16] Fushi
    Welcome home, old man.
[06:17] Fushi
    Here. A gift.
[06:19] Booze Man
    What's that?
[06:21] Booze Man
    Oh, a sweat rag for my pits!
[06:24] Booze Man
    That's great. Thank you.
[06:26] Rean
    I think I'll give my gift, too.
[06:28] Fushi
    Right.
[06:31] Booze Man
    Gugu's busy right now.
[06:36] Shin
    It's been a while.
[06:38] Shin
    How've you been?
[06:40] Shin
    You've changed a lot, huh?
[06:42] Shin
    What's up with that mask?
[06:44] Shin
    Are you hiding your face?
[06:46] Shin
    I heard you live here.
[06:49] Shin
    How is it?
[06:51] Shin
    I mean, are you enjoying it?
[06:55] Shin
    No, I get it.
[06:57] Shin
    If you're happy, I'm glad for you.
[07:01] Shin
    I guess it was kind of a good thing
    that you got away from me—
[07:04] Gugu
    Why the hell are you here?!
[07:06] Gugu
    Did you want me to tell you
    what a piece of trash you are?!
[07:12] Pioran
    What's going on, old man?
[07:14] Booze Man
    Gugu's older brother is here.
[07:17] Shin
    I...
[07:19] Shin
    I'm really sorry, Gugu.
[07:22] Shin
    Something was wrong with me back then.
[07:24] Gugu
    Something was wrong with you?
[07:26] Gugu
    That's not it, Nii-chan.
[07:27] Gugu
    That's who you really are.
[07:29] Gugu
    You betrayed and ditched your kid brother!
[07:32] Shin
    Y-You're right.
[07:35] Shin
    But...
[07:37] Shin
    But you gave me this.
[07:44] Shin
    You offered me your hand.
[07:51] Shin
    I'm sorry.
[07:53] Shin
    It took me four years to find you.
[07:57] Shin
    I do work selling farm tools now.
[08:01] Shin
    I just hired some people, and things
    are finally becoming stable.
[08:05] Shin
    I eat properly every day.
[08:08] Shin
    Though our dream of building a
    mansion is still a ways off...
[08:13] Shin
    I still want to realize that dream with you.
[08:19] Shin
    I want to make things right with you.
[08:22] Shin
    And I want to start over.
[08:25] Shin
    You and I together, as brothers.
[08:31] Shin
    Will you come with me?
[08:40] Gugu
    I'll pass.
[08:43] Gugu
    It's true that being abandoned
    by you made me miserable.
[08:46] Gugu
    But what I gained by overcoming
    it is practically a miracle for me.
[08:52] Gugu
    Booze Man, the unhinged
    genius who saved my life.
[08:56] Gugu
    A knowledgeable and interesting grandma.
[08:59] Gugu
    Kind Rean, who comes over once in a while.
[09:02] Gugu
    And Fushi, who's like a younger
    brother and irreplaceable to me.
[09:07] Gugu
    I treasure all of them.
[09:10] Gugu
    So please don't take anything
    else away from me!
[09:17] Shin
    Yeah, of course.
[09:20] Gugu
    Well, I have work to do.
[09:23] Shin
    You can always count on your big
    brother to help you if you ever need it.
[09:36] Shin
    That's the only thing I can do...
[09:42] Shin
    to prove that I am your big brother.
[09:49] Rean
    W-Welcome.
[09:51] Booze Man
    Oh, are you done talking already?
[09:56] Shin
    Sorry for barging in.
[09:59] Shin
    There's something I need
    to give back to Gugu.
[10:02] Shin
    Here.
[10:03] Shin
    Could you pass this along to him?
[10:06] Booze Man
    All right.
[10:09] Shin
    Thank you.
[10:12] Shin
    Pardon me.
[10:15] Rean
    What is it? What did he give you?
[10:19] Rean
    This is...
[10:21] (Flashback) Dad
    Well?
[10:23] (Flashback) Dad
    Isn't that ring perfect for you?
[10:25] (Flashback) Dad
    I had a craftsman make it just for you.
[10:28] (Flashback) Young Rean
    I hate this color.
[10:32] Booze Man
    What's the matter, Rean?
[10:38] (Flashback) Young Gugu
    Fresh produce here!
[10:40] (Flashback) Young Gugu
    Fresh produce here!
[10:43] (Flashback) Young Rean
    That boy's here every day.
[10:46] (Flashback) Handmaiden
    He is.
[10:47] (Flashback) Handmaiden
    He must be helping his family.
[10:49] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Isn't it weird that he's working?
    He's just a kid.
[10:52] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Poor boy.
[10:53] (Flashback) Handmaiden
    Not at all.
[10:54] (Flashback) Handmaiden
    It's very admirable of him.
[10:56] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Oh, no.
[10:57] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Meer left home again.
[11:00] (Flashback) Young Rean
    I have to find him.
[11:02] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Meer!
[11:03] (Flashback) Young Rean
    Meer!
[11:11] (Flashback) Young Rean
    I have to thank him.
[11:19] Rean
    Oh...
[11:21] Rean
    So that was you.
[11:24] Booze Man
    Are you all right?
[11:26] Rean
    Oh, yes. It's nothing.
[11:29] Rean
    Hey, is it okay if I give him this?
[11:32] Booze Man
    Sure. Thanks.
[11:35] Rean
    Gugu!
[11:36] Rean
    Gugu!
[11:43] Rean
    He's asleep.
[12:08] Gugu
    Ow, ow, ow!
[12:11] Gugu
    Rean!
[12:12] Gugu
    What?! Did you do something to me?!
[12:15] Rean
    Gugu, now's your chance
    to make a move on me.
[12:18] Gugu
    What?
[12:19] Gugu
    But... why...
[12:21] Gugu
    Eh? Wha... Huh?
[12:25] Rean
    I'm gonna be forced to get married soon.
[12:28] Gugu
    What? You are?!
[12:30] Rean
    Are you okay with me getting
    married to someone else?
[12:34] Gugu
    Wh-Why would you ask me that?!
[12:37] Rean
    You love me, don't you?!
[12:39] Gugu
    Huh?! What are you talking about?!
[12:41] Rean
    You said you did!
[12:43] Rean
    That day you came back after running away!
[12:45] Rean
    You said you were the one who
    loved Rean-chan the most!
[12:49] Gugu
    That's so embarrassing! I said that?!
[12:52] Gugu
    I don't remember...
[12:56] Gugu
    Ow, ow!
[12:58] Rean
    My birthday party's happening next month!
[13:01] Rean
    You'd better be there!
[13:03] Gugu
    Huh?
[13:05] Gugu
    What even was that?
[13:08] Booze Man
    Gone with the booze.
[13:11] Booze Man
    Drinking makes you forget things.
[13:14] Booze Man
    It erases them from memory.
[13:15] Booze Man
    You messed up, Gugu.
[13:18] Booze Man
    And now, I have great news for you!
[13:22] Booze Man
    It's finally complete!
[13:24] Booze Man
    The all-new anti-Tree Man mask!
[13:28] Gugu
    Tree Man?
[13:30] Booze Man
    You know, the thing that attacked
    you a few years ago or whatever.
[13:34] Gugu
    You made me this because of that?!
[13:37] Booze Man
    Yeah, it took a whole year.
[13:40] Booze Man
    Go ahead, try it on.
[13:42] Gugu
    Whoa.
[13:44] Booze Man
    It's a bit heavy, but it's functional.
[13:46] Booze Man
    It can even make fire without a torch.
[13:49] Booze Man
    Try closing the lid really fast.
[13:52] Booze Man
    There's a ball of tinder at the tip of the
    nose that catches fire from the pressure.
[13:58] Gugu
    This is great, Booze Man!
[14:00] Gugu
    Awesome!
[14:01] Booze Man
    That'll be sure to impress her, too.
[14:03] Booze Man
    Wear it to the party,
    and you'll have her attention!
[14:06] Gugu
    Thank you!
[14:11] Gugu
    All right, then...
[14:13] Gugu
    Let's go, Fushi.
[14:15] Gugu
    We're going to be late for
    Rean's birthday party.
[14:17] Booze Man
    Gugu, why don't you empty
    the liquor in your belly?
[14:22] Booze Man
    I'm sure you'll need space
    for all that good grub.
[14:24] Gugu
    Nah, it's fine.
[14:26] Gugu
    There's no telling when
    the enemy will attack.
[14:29] Gugu
    I want to be ready for the unexpected.
[14:34] Gugu
    Okay, see you.
[14:35] Booze Man
    Hang on, Gugu.
[14:38] Booze Man
    You sure are a good kid.
[14:41] Booze Man
    We aren't related, but I really
    do think of you as my grandson.
[14:45] Gugu
    What brought that on? You're creeping me out.
[14:48] Booze Man
    Sorry.
[14:49] Booze Man
    Take care.
[14:51] Gugu
    Okay, see you when we get back.
[14:53] Fushi
    Hey, how do you read maps?
[14:58] Pioran
    What are you sobbing for?
[15:00] Pioran
    He's only going to be away for a day!
[15:03] Booze Man
    Oh, I just got a bit worried.
[15:07] Booze Man
    Seeing him come of age, it just hit me...
[15:11] Booze Man
    Why am I such an old fart?
[15:16] Booze Man
    I just can't stand the thought
    that I'm going to die before him.
[15:21] Booze Man
    I want him to move out on his own, grow up,
[15:24] Booze Man
    choose his own path,
    and become what he wants.
[15:27] Booze Man
    That's the kind of normal
    life I want him to have.
[15:31] Booze Man
    And I want to die only after
    I get to see all that happen.
[15:40] Gugu
    What's in the bag?
[15:42] Fushi
    Veggies.
[15:43] Fushi
    Pioran said I need bring gifts.
[15:47] Fushi
    What are you bringing, Gugu?
[15:50] Gugu
    I'm going to buy something up ahead.
[15:53] Gugu
    There! That's it!
[15:55] Gugu
    Hello.
[15:56] Florist
    Welco—
[15:57] Florist
    Welcome.
[15:58] Gugu
    I'd like one of those purple flowers, please.
[16:01] Fushi
    Flowers?
[16:03] Gugu
    This is about the only thing I can
    think of that Rean might like.
[16:08] Florist
    This flower's called the dream bellflower.
[16:13] Gugu
    Huh...
[16:18] Gugu
    All right, we're here.
[16:21] Gugu
    This is Rean's house!
[16:24] Gugu
    Man, her house is huge.
[16:27] Gugu
    The floor's so shiny.
[16:29] Gugu
    Look at all that yummy-looking food!
[16:31] Gugu
    I'll plate some for you.
[16:32] Gugu
    You like pork, don't you?
[16:34] Gugu
    They have noodles, too. And spring rolls.
[16:37] Gugu
    Grape juice for your drink,
    and pear jelly for dessert.
[16:41] Male Partygoer A
    What's up with them?
[16:42] Fermale Partygoer A
    Look at him with that mask.
    It's supposed to be a festive event.
[16:45] Male Partygoer B
    How does he know Rean-san?
[16:48] Gugu
    Rean sure has a lot of friends.
[16:50] Gugu
    A hundred or so?
[16:52] Gugu
    Meanwhile, Rean's our only friend, right?
[16:55] Rean
    My.
[16:56] Rean
    What an honor.
[16:59] Fushi
    Rean.
[17:01] Rean
    Thanks for coming today.
[17:03] Fushi
    Look.
[17:04] Fushi
    The old man made Gugu a new mask.
[17:09] Rean
    So I see. It's lovely.
[17:16] Gugu
    Hey, Rean...
[17:18] Gugu
    Can I ask you something about the other day?
[17:22] Rean
    The other day?
[17:23] Rean
    Oh, sorry for throwing potatoes at you.
[17:27] Fushi
    Potatoes?
[17:28] Rean
    Did I break your mask?
[17:31] Rean
    That's why you got a new one, huh?
[17:33] Rean
    I'm sorry! Really!
[17:34] Gugu
    No, that's not...
[17:36] Rean
    What are these?
[17:37] Rean
    Are these your gifts for me?
[17:40] Fushi
    Yeah. Veggies.
[17:41] Rean
    Thank you!
[17:43] Fushi
    Give her yours, too, Gugu.
[17:46] Gugu
    Here.
[17:47] Gugu
    Happy sixteenth birthday.
[17:53] Male Partygoer C
    Isn't that flower...
[17:55] Male Partygoer D
    What does he think he's doing?
[17:57] Rean
    Gugu...
[17:58] Rean
    Why did you choose this flower?
[18:01] Gugu
    Oh, I just thought you might like that one...
[18:04] Gugu
    Since it's purple.
[18:06] Handmaiden
    That's the flower she was holding
    when she was injured four years ago.
[18:11] Handmaiden
    Did you want to hurt her?
[18:15] Gugu
    I'm sorry, Rean!
[18:16] Gugu
    I didn't know!
[18:21] Rean
    It's fine.
[18:22] Rean
    Anyway, have fun.
[18:25] Gugu
    I blew it!
[18:26] Rean
    What were you doing with potatoes?
[18:35] (Flashback) Young Rean
    These flowers are so pretty.
[18:37] (Flashback) Young Rean
    I wonder what they're called.
[18:38] (Flashback) Young Rean
    I'd love to wear a dress in this color.
[18:47] Rean
    That was the first time I saw this flower.
[18:50] Rean
    And I never saw one since.
[18:53] Rean's Mom
    Rean, give me that flower.
[18:55] Rean's Mom
    I'll throw it out for you.
    It'll bring back memories, won't it?
[18:58] Rean
    No.
[19:00] Rean
    It's the first time he ever gave me anything.
[19:03] Male Partygoer C
    Hey, handsome.
[19:06] Male Partygoer C
    I'm talking to you, with the mask.
[19:09] Male Partygoer C
    I've been watching you.
[19:11] Male Partygoer C
    Don't you think you're being rude?
[19:13] Male Partygoer C
    Take that thing off.
[19:14] Male Partygoer C
    This is a celebration.
[19:16] Gugu
    Yeah, I know.
[19:18] Gugu
    But I can't.
[19:19] Male Partygoer C
    What do you mean, you can't?
[19:22] Gugu
    Wait!
[19:23] Male Partygoer C
    You look dumb in that mask!
[19:31] Rean
    What's going on?
[19:33] Male Partygoer C
    He fell in by himself.
[19:35] Rean
    Hurry, get a towel.
[19:38] Rean
    Here.
[19:38] Handmaiden
    You're going to get wet, young lady!
[19:41] Rean
    Come on, dry your face off with this.
[19:46] Rean
    Sheesh.
[19:48] Rean
    With this thing on, you'll never
    be able to kiss anyone.
[19:57] Handmaiden
    Young lady!
[19:58] Handmaiden
    Your father is calling.
[20:01] Rean
    Coming.
[20:02] Rean
    Get all dried off so you don't catch a cold.
[20:06] Dad
    Rean!
[20:07] Dad
    Allow me to introduce you
    to your betrothed.
[20:14] Rean's betrothed
    So you're Rean-chan, huh?
[20:16] Rean's betrothed
    You're very cute with those big eyes.
[20:34] Gugu
    Ready to go home, Fushi?
[20:36] Fushi
    Huh? But I want to eat more.
[20:39] Gugu
    Fushi...
[20:41] Gugu
    I thought Rean would always be part
    of our lives, coming over all the time,
[20:48] Gugu
    but it won't be that way.
[20:52] Fushi
    Why not?
[20:53] Gugu
    I think it's because...
[20:55] Gugu
    Because those are the rules.
[20:57] Fushi
    Who decided that?
[21:02] Fushi
    Your life isn't something given to you.
    It's for you to win for yourself, Gugu!
[21:08] Gugu
    Did you come up with that line yourself?
[21:11] Fushi
    No.
[21:16] Gugu
    Go eat. I'll be waiting outside.
[21:33] Rean
    Gugu!
[21:39] Rean
    You're leaving already?
[21:40] Rean
    Are you angry about what happened in there?
[21:44] Gugu
    No. I'm used to it.
[21:50] Rean
    You might not like this,
    but can I ask you again?
[21:56] Rean
    About your mask... and your injury?
[22:01] Rean
    Don't worry.
[22:03] Rean
    I'm sure I won't hate you,
    no matter what you say.
[22:11] Gugu
    I fell from a cliff.
[22:14] Gugu
    According to Booze Man, when he
    found me, there was a log on my head.
[22:19] Gugu
    That's how my face got smashed in.
[22:23] Rean
    Why did you fall off the cliff?
[22:26] Gugu
    The log was rolling down a hill.
[22:29] Gugu
    It was about to hit someone ahead.
[22:31] Gugu
    I shouted, but they didn't notice me,
[22:34] Gugu
    so I ran to try to help them...
[22:36] Gugu
    and I screwed up.
[22:39] Rean
    Why were you hiding this from me?
[22:42] Rean
    That's such a noble thing to do.
[22:46] Gugu
    Because I screwed up even worse than that.
[22:50] Rean
    Did that person not make it?
[22:53] Gugu
    No, they made it.
[22:56] Gugu
    But they ended up with
    an injury about this big.
[23:01] Rean
    That's just a scratch
    compared to your injury.
[23:06] Gugu
    But to her, it was a huge injury.
[23:10] Gugu
    It really bothered her.
[23:13] Gugu
    She was too embarrassed
    to let anyone see it.
[23:16] Gugu
    I felt so bad for what I had done.
[23:31] Rean
    But you saved that girl's life.
[23:41] Rean
    Want me to take a guess, Gugu?
[23:46] Rean
    It was windy that day.
[23:49] Gugu
    Yeah.
[23:51] Rean
    There was a river there.
[23:58] Rean
    It was around sunset.
[24:00] Rean
    Flowers were blooming.
[24:02] Gugu
    Yeah.
[24:04] Rean
    Purple flowers.
[24:06] Rean
    She was holding some of them.
[24:09] Gugu
    Yeah. I heard they're
    called dream bellflowers.
[24:27] Rean
    Gugu, I...
[24:42] Rean
    Gugu!
[24:45] Beholder
    They're here.
[24:46] Beholder
    It's the Nokkers.
