Twilight Out of Focus
A boys’ school film club is the backdrop for three tales of new romance. Mao and Hisashi pair up for a project, make three promises, and draw closer together in the process. The club president, Jin, and a jealous junior named Giichi clash before finding common ground. Shion, a first-year student, joins the film club in search of a boyfriend and butts heads with Rei—until Rei asks him on a date.

[00:04] Hisashi
    Is this thing on already?
[00:06] Mao
    Yeah, it's recording. Sit down.
[00:10] Mao
    Second year, class A. Tsuchiya Mao.
[00:13] Hisashi
    Second year, class C. Otomo Hisashi.
[00:16] Mao
    I hereby make three promises.
[00:19] Mao
    I, Tsuchiya Mao, promise not to share
    my roommate Otomo-kun's secrets.
[00:24] Mao
    I will never tell anyone that
    he is gay and has a boyfriend.
[00:28] Hisashi
    I also promise
[00:30] Hisashi
    that I will never look at
    Tsuchiya-kun in a romantic light.
[00:33] Hisashi
    I swear to God that I will absolutely
    never put my hands on him.
[00:38] Mao
    If either of us violates our promises,
    we shall move out immed—
[00:40] Hisashi
    Mao, you're forgetting the third one.
[00:42] Mao
    Oh.
[00:44] Mao
    We shall respect each other's
    privacy while jerking off.
[00:48] Mao
    This sound shall be our signal.
[00:52] Mao
    Hey, quit laughing. This was your idea!
[00:56] Hisashi
    Yeah, but think about it.
[00:59] Hisashi
    Isn't this weird, Mao?
    And you sound so formal.
[01:03] Mao
    "I hereby..." Oh, "I hereby declare"?
[01:06] Hisashi
    That's even weirder.
    Are you being serious right now?
[01:09] Mao
    We should quit goofing off and get going.
    I don't want to be late on the first day.
[01:14] Hisashi
    Mao?
[01:15] Mao
    Hmm?
[01:16] Hisashi
    Thanks. I couldn't have made it through
    first year with any other roommate.
[01:21] Hisashi
    Let's try to get along for second year, too.
[01:23] Mao
    Yeah. Let's.
[01:26] Mao
    I'm glad to be with you, too.
[01:28] Mao
    Hisashi, got your key?
[01:30] Mao
    My club starts today, so I'll be late.
[01:31] Mao
    Sleeping and waking up in
    the same room, the same space.
[01:33] Hisashi
    Oh, it's starting already?
[01:35] Mao
    Sometimes talking, sometimes not.
[01:35] Mao
    Yeah. There's a competition so we
    have to finish before the festival.
[01:37] Mao
    "Good morning" and "good night."
SIGN    Hiiragi House
[01:39] Hisashi
    Huh.
[01:40] Mao
    "I'm back" and "welcome home."
[01:42] Hisashi
    But the festival's in July.
    You've got plenty of time.
[01:43] Mao
    I didn't know if I could've said
    those things to someone else.
[01:45] Mao
    There's only three months left.
    It might not be enough.
[01:48] Mao
    But now that we've been
    together a year, I can.
[01:48] Hisashi
    It takes that long?
[01:50] Hisashi
    Wow, film club goes hard. For real?
[01:52] Mao
    For real.

    I'm reading it now.

[04:11] Mao
    A school love story? That's unusual.
[04:14] Runa
    Yeah, but it's not just any love story—
[04:15] Giichi
    And now I'll announce the theme of the film.

[04:28] Member 4
    Never heard of it.
[04:29] Member 1
    A love story between dudes?

[04:32] Member 3
    There must be some reason behind it.
[04:35] Member 4
    Hey, Ichikawa. Say something.
[04:39] Giichi
    To tell the truth, I read one
    and totally got hooked!
[04:44] Giichi
    My heart went pitter-patter for real!
[04:47] Giichi
    The characters were all so pure and sincere.
[04:49] Giichi
    I was like, "This is what true love means!"
[04:52] Giichi
    So sublime!
[04:54] Runa
    Forget about Ichikawa's
    offbeat pitter-patter.
[04:57] Runa
    First, we've gotta check the script.

[05:09] Member 4
    Are you some kind of love wizard?!
[05:11] Giichi
    Har har har.
[05:14] Mao
    I can't wait to shoot it.
[05:15] Giichi
    Yeah.
[05:17] Giichi
    Just so you know,
    all kidding aside, I'm not gay.
[05:22] Giichi
    I've never fallen in love before.
[05:25] Giichi
    I've never even had a crush on anyone.
[05:28] Giichi
    What about you?
[05:29] Mao
    Huh? Well, I... I guess I'm the same.
[05:33] Mao
    I did kinda like someone before, though.
[05:35] Runa
    Seriously? Are you guys
    still elementary schoolers?
[05:38] Runa
    You're defective human beings.
    No wonder you're film nerds.
[05:42] Giichi
    Shaddap!
[05:43] Giichi
    I mean, do any of us really know
    what love is, anyway? I doubt it.
[05:49] Giichi
    So this is for our future.
[05:52] Giichi
    When we all grow up and get married...
[05:54] Giichi
    Well, that's right. Same-sex marriage
    might be totally normal by then.
[06:00] Giichi
    You might find someone you
    care about, or you might not.
[06:04] Giichi
    But no matter what happens later, I want you
    to always remember what we did here.
[06:08] Giichi
    In our second year of high school,
    we gave love and romance serious thought,
[06:11] Giichi
    and pushed through our embarrassment
     to commit it all to film.
[06:15] Giichi
    Let's do this right.
    Just follow my lead, guys.
[06:18] Members
    Yeah!
[06:18] Members
    All right!
[06:19] Members
    Let's do it!
[06:19] Mao
    I guess the Ichikawa crew is ready to roll.
[06:22] Giichi
    Yeah. I'm counting on you, partner.
[06:24] Runa
    I want to start casting right away.
    Did you have your eyes on anyone, Director?
[06:27] Giichi
    Actually, I wanted to talk to Mao about that.
[06:30] Mao
    Huh? Me?
[06:36] Hisashi
    The dorm bath was pretty empty.
[06:42] Hisashi
    Huh?
[06:43] Hisashi
    What are you doing? Creep.
[06:45] Mao
    I'm not doing anything!
    Put some damn clothes on!
[06:50] Mao
    He gives off a lone wolf vibe,
    like he won't get too close to people.
[06:54] Mao
    Part of him seems withdrawn, like
    he'd just disappear at any moment.
[06:58] Mao
    He was right.
[07:01] (Flashback) Giichi
    He fits the image I have
    for the lead perfectly.
[07:04] (Flashback) Mao
    Hisashi does?
[07:05] (Flashback) Giichi
    Mm-hmm. You're roommates, right?
    With Otomo Hisashi?
[07:08] (Flashback) Giichi
    Ask him for me.
[07:09] (Flashback) Runa
    For that lead hoodlum character?
    Is that okay?
[07:12] (Flashback) Mao
    Well, I don't think he can act.
    That might be difficult.
[07:17] (Flashback) Giichi
    The problem isn't acting ability.
[07:19] (Flashback) Giichi
    It's appearance.
    He's got to look like a real punk.
[07:23] (Flashback) Giichi
    Our school is full of athletes
    and liberal arts types.
[07:26] (Flashback) Giichi
    No one else fits so naturally.
[07:29] (Flashback) Runa
    I think you're more of a lone wolf
    than him, Ichikawa.
[07:33] (Flashback) Giichi
    Oh, that won't do!
[07:34] (Flashback) Giichi
    He's needs to have beauty!
    Because it's boys' love!
[07:37] (Flashback) Runa
    Are you a girl, now?
[07:38] (Flashback) Giichi
    Sweet talk him into it and bring him along.
[07:40] (Flashback) Mao
    Huh?!
[07:41] (Flashback) Giichi
    See you.
[07:44] (Flashback) Runa
    He sure gets stubborn sometimes.
    Only thinks about himself.
[07:48] (Flashback) Runa
    Want me to ask instead?
    Since you're roommates, it might be weird.
[07:55] (Flashback) Runa
    It's a love story between guys,
    so there will be kiss scenes.
[07:59] (Flashback) Runa
    We've gotta be careful so
    there's no misunderstanding.
[08:02] Mao
    If I asked him, what would he think?
[08:07] Mao
    "The role is a guy who falls
    in love with another guy.
[08:10] Mao
    Everyone said you'd be perfect."
[08:14] Mao
    He'll probably think that I broke my promise
    and told everyone his secret.
[08:19] Mao
    I'll ask someone else instead.
[08:21] Mao
    Kagari and I should be able to find someone.
[08:25] Mao
    I guess there are still punks
    like this in the countryside.
[08:28] Mao
    He does fit the image perfectly, though.
    Including the character's awkwardness.
[08:33] Mao
    He is a lot like Hisashi. Like the way he seems
    to glare when he looks at people.
[08:38] Mao
    The part I really like is scene 8.
    I can already see it in my head.
[08:43] Mao
    It's in the quiet library after school.
    He comes in looking for someone.
[08:48] Mao
    He finds them by the window and sneaks up,
    trying not to get noticed.
[08:54] Mao
    They're alone in the library,
    light pouring in through the windows.
[08:57] Mao
    The protagonist says something to him,
    but there's no response.
[09:00] Mao
    So he tries again. But this time, much closer.
[09:04] Mao
    Startled, the class president raises his head.
[09:07] Mao
    They almost collide.
[09:09] Mao
    Their lips hover next to each other,
    nearly touching, like a game.
[09:15] Mao
    The class president hesitates.
    The protagonist says to him,
[09:19] Hisashi
    "What, did you think
    I was going to kiss you?"
[09:25] Hisashi
    Mao... Mao...
[09:28] Hisashi
    Mao? Mao!
[09:30] Hisashi
    Are you okay?
[09:34] Hisashi
    Did you fall asleep?
    The bath is closing soon.
[09:37] Hisashi
    Hey, come back to Earth!
    What's wrong with you?
[09:43] Mao
    I-I'm going to take a bath!
[09:44] Hisashi
    Huh?
[09:46] Mao
    Thanks for waking me up!
[09:49] Mao
    What the hell is this?
[09:53] Mao
    Like a weird switch just flipped inside me.
[09:56] Mao
    No, it must just be because
    he's perfect for the role.
[10:01] Mao
    It was so vivid in my imagination!
[10:03] Mao
    Yeah, he looked so cool.
    I totally got into it.
[10:09] Mao
    I wanted him to kiss me.
[10:14] Mao
    Kagari?
[10:15] Runa
    Hmm?
[10:17] Mao
    It's about the casting.
[10:18] Runa
    Oh, you mean Otomo? You talk to him?
[10:21] Mao
    It's not gonna work.
    Let's pick someone else.
[10:24] Mao
    It would make things too awkward.
[10:26] Runa
    Okay. I'll tell the director.
SIGN    Second Year Film Club Meeting
    STAY OUT!
[10:33] Giichi
    Hey.
[10:37] Runa
    Wait. You told him about the role?
[10:40] Giichi
    Yeah. I saw him watching,
    so I invited him in.
[10:43] Runa
    But Mao said...
[10:47] Giichi
    It'd be tough to work with Otomo?!
    You need to start taking this seriously!
[10:50] Giichi
    What happened to your passion for cinema?!
[10:53] Giichi
    How dare you?!
[10:55] Mao
    How dare I?
[10:56] Mao
    Because he's going to think
    I broke my promise.
[11:00] Mao
    Because it's going to
    hurt Hisashi's feelings.
[11:03] Mao
    And also, because I...
[11:05] Mao
    Wait, "I"?
[11:07] Hisashi
    Too late now.
[11:08] Mao
    Huh?
[11:10] Mao
    Hisashi...
SIGN    Hiiragi House
[11:16] Mao
    The first day of class. It was a cold spring.
[11:19] Mao
    When I said, "Hello, nice to meet you,"
    he wouldn't even shake my hand.
[11:24] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Hi.
[11:25] Mao
    If that's how it was gonna be,
    no need to get to know him.
[11:29] Mao
    I could just live my life,
    pretending that he was invisible.
[11:33] Mao
    But it was still the same tiny room.
[11:37] Mao
    I'd always see him
    out of the corner of my eye.
[11:39] Mao
    His gloomy posture made me worry.
[11:40] Hisashi
    Can I come over now?
[11:42] Mao
    The person on the phone must
    have ruffled his feathers.
[11:43] Hisashi
    Is someone else there? Who is it?
[11:45] Mao
    He seemed really anxious about it,
    and that worried me.
[11:50] Mao
    The days went by,
    and then on the tenth day...
[11:56] (Flashback) Mao
    Huh?
[11:57] Mao
    He looks really sick. He did come back
    soaked from the rain last night.
[12:03] (Flashback) Mao
    Hey, Otomo. I've got some
    cold medicine you can—
[12:18] (Flashback) Mao
    Hey!
[12:19] (Flashback) Mao
    Otomo, you half-asleep or something?
[12:29] (Flashback) Mao
    Ah! Th-This isn't funny!
[12:34] (Flashback) Mao
    Hey... Otomo!
[12:36] (Flashback) Mao
    S-Stop it! Get your hands off me! Hey!
[12:41] (Flashback) Mao
    Who do you think I am?!
[12:43] (Flashback) Mao
    Would you get your shit together?!
[12:53] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Don't run away from me, Sensei.
[12:58] Mao
    ...he whispered.
[13:00] Mao
    It sounded like he was crying.
    He seemed absolutely miserable.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mao
    Don't worry.
[13:10] (Flashback) Mao
    I'm not going anywhere. Don't worry.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mao
    Otomo, take the medicine.

[13:23] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Um, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
[13:28] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I'll move out immediately.
[13:30] (Flashback) Mao
    But why? It was just an accident, right?
[13:33] (Flashback) Mao
    I shouldn't have gotten close
    when you were sleeping.
[13:36] (Flashback) Mao
    We're both guys, so
    a little touching is no big deal.
[13:40] (Flashback) Hisashi
    This isn't fair to you, so I'll just tell you.
[13:44] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I'm actually gay.
[13:47] (Flashback) Hisashi
    So, "we're both guys" doesn't really apply.
[13:51] (Flashback) Mao
    Oh, okay.
[13:53] (Flashback) Mao
    Got it. I understand.
[13:55] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Wait, aren't you scared?
[13:58] (Flashback) Mao
    Scared about what? Have some water.
[14:01] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Thanks.
[14:02] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I mean, wouldn't most guys get scared?
[14:06] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Like, "My roommate's gay,
    he's gonna pounce on me!"
[14:10] (Flashback) Mao
    What? Really?
[14:12] (Flashback) Mao
    Do you just randomly attack
    guys like that? Like a zombie?
[14:16] (Flashback) Hisashi
    No, I don't. And I am dating somebody.
[14:19] (Flashback) Hisashi
    But I have heard that from people.
[14:23] (Flashback) Hisashi
    They go around talking crap
    like that and laughing.
[14:26] (Flashback) Mao
    Huh. Well, I still wasn't scared.
[14:30] Mao
    He just seemed so lonely.
[14:32] (Flashback) Mao
    I'm not like that.
    I won't laugh or get scared.
[14:35] (Flashback) Mao
    I won't tell anyone, either. I promise.
[14:39] (Flashback) Hisashi
    You're a strange guy. Then I'll promise, too.
[14:43] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I won't do anything to make you
    feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
[14:48] (Flashback) Hisashi
    So let's start over.
[14:49] (Flashback) Mao
    Sounds good.
[14:52] Mao
    Hisashi kept saying we should sign a
    blood oath, but that sounded too creepy,
[14:56] Mao
    so I suggested we record a video.
[14:58] Mao
    While we were at it, we also settled
    an issue that all roommates face.
[15:02] (Flashback) Hisashi
    By the way, how are you 
    taking care of things?
[15:05] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Isn't it awkward when we're sharing a room?
[15:07] (Flashback) Mao
    Taking care...?

[15:10] (Flashback) Mao
    Let's have a signal
    to give each other privacy.
[15:13] Mao
    So in that cold spring in our first year,
    we finally started to really room together.
[15:18] Mao
    That promise was our
    agreement to get along...
[15:22] Mao
    but I feel its conditions binding me,
    however tightly or loosely.
[15:26] Mao
    I worry, "What if I hurt his feelings?
    What if I let him down?"
[15:33] Hisashi
    Too late now.
[15:35] Hisashi
    I already told this guy I'd do it.
[15:40] Giichi
    You heard him. I'm not letting
    him out of my sight now.
[15:43] Mao
    Ishikawa's face is pissing me off.
[15:47] Hisashi
    Is me being here a problem for you?
[15:49] Mao
    N-No, that isn't the issue.
[15:53] Hisashi
    Well, whatever. Let's talk
    about it when we get back.
[15:56] Hisashi
    Maybe we could watch a movie or something.
[15:58] Giichi
    Do you want to hear all the details
    now that the AD is here?
[16:02] Runa
    Huh. Seems like you guys get along.
[16:02] Hisashi
    No, I've got to get going. Another time.
[16:04] Giichi
    All right. No worries.
[16:04] Runa
    You never bring your personal
    opinions into stuff, Mao,
[16:07] Runa
    so I thought either you hated each other
    or he was a serious jerk. One or the other.
[16:12] Mao
    No, we get along. Despite his looks,
    he's actually really nice.
[16:16] Runa
    Why were you against it, then?
    He seems like he'd be okay with it.
[16:20] Runa
    He might be nervous about some stuff,
    but we've all got his back.
[16:24] Mao
    It does seem like he'd be okay with it.
[16:28] Mao
    Then why do I still feel like
    I'm hung up on something?
[16:33] Giichi
    Talking him into it was
    much easier than I expected.
[16:36] Runa
    Quit the hand rubbing, villain.
[16:37] Runa
    Are you serious, though?
[16:39] Runa
    Are you sure you didn't just
    force him to say yes?
[16:42] Giichi
    Not at all. He actually
    seemed very interested.
[16:45] Giichi
    Maybe my passion infected him!
[16:47] Runa
    So how'd you bribe him? A week's
     worth of cafeteria meals again?
[16:51] Giichi
    Have some faith in me!
[16:53] Giichi
    He isn't the type to get bribed so easily.
[16:56] Mao
    That is your special move, though.
    Bribing them with school meals.
[16:56] Mao
    But it really is unusual
    that he agreed to it.
[16:59] Giichi
    Huh? You know I've got more
    to offer than that!
[17:01] Mao
    He looks pretty wild on the outside,
    but he always keeps to himself.
[17:01] Runa
    Yeah, all that "passion," right?

[17:15] Mao
    But whenever I invite him,
[17:17] Mao
    he just smiles a little
    and says, "Nah, I'm good."
[17:19] Mao
    But, unusual— Actually, how would I know?
[17:22] Mao
    I only know what he's like in our room.
    I have no idea what he's thinking.
[17:27] Mao
    No idea at all. Of course I don't.

    Oh. Then this one?
[17:36] Mao
    Most of them die.
[17:38] Mao
    That's what makes them good.
[17:39] Hisashi
    What the hell, man? Then you pick, Mao.
[17:45] Hisashi
    I wanted to talk but I can't stop watching.
    This is really interesting.
[17:50] Mao
    I told you so.
[17:50] Hisashi
    Oh, come on!
[17:54] Mao
    Oh, crap. This is making me nervous.
[17:59] Hisashi
    Mao.
[17:59] Mao
    Huh?
[18:00] Hisashi
    Maybe I will act in that film club movie.
[18:04] Hisashi
    I mean, I want to.
[18:06] Mao
    I've never heard Hisashi so
    determined about something.
[18:11] Mao
    What made you want to do it, Hisashi?
[18:14] Hisashi
    I wanted to learn more about it. About you.
[18:18] Mao
    M-Me? Why?
[18:20] Hisashi
    Why? Because you're awesome.
[18:23] Hisashi
    I don't have any hobbies.
    I've never joined a club.
[18:28] Hisashi
    There's nothing I want to try.
[18:30] Hisashi
    That's why I think you're awesome.
    You make me jealous.
[18:35] Hisashi
    You remember when we shot that promise
    video last year? What you said to me?
[18:40] (Flashback) Mao
    I don't care if you believe me or not,
    but I never lie when I'm on camera.
[18:46] Hisashi
    I had no clue what you meant at the time.
[18:49] Mao
    Did I really say that?
    That's so embarrassing!
[18:52] Hisashi
    I thought, "Whoa, this guy's insane."
[18:54] Mao
    Huh? Wait, is that what you really thought?
[18:58] Hisashi
    Well, now, I still don't get
    the camera thing,
[19:02] Hisashi
    but I'm starting to get you.
[19:04] Hisashi
    And I want to learn more.
[19:06] Mao
    Oh, I get it. Hisashi
    is searching for something.
[19:11] Mao
    Something he wants to do... together.
[19:15] Mao
    I'm such an idiot.
[19:16] Mao
    I don't want to hurt his feelings? 
    I don't want to let him down?
[19:20] Mao
    I've only thought
    about myself this whole time.
[19:23] Mao
    Hisashi, let's make a great film together.
[19:26] Mao
    I actually thought you'd be perfect
    for the role. So I'm really happy.
[19:33] Hisashi
    I'm so nervous, though.
    You really think I can do it?
[19:37] Mao
    All you've got to do is remember
    your lines. You'll be fine.
[19:41] Hisashi
    You make it sound so easy.
    But I bet it's difficult.
[19:47] Hisashi
    I don't talk like this guy does at all.
    He's like a really old school punk.
[19:52] Mao
    I'm sure Ichikawa can rewrite
    the lines to fit you better.
[19:56] Hisashi
    You mean that guy
    with the glasses wrote this?
[20:02] Hisashi
    What?
[20:03] Mao
    Try reading one of the lines.
[20:05] Hisashi
    Seriously? Ugh, I'm cringing.
[20:08] Mao
    Just try it out. All you've gotta do is read.
[20:11] Mao
    I'll think about how I want to shoot it.
[20:14] Hisashi
    "I didn't know you were
    still here, Class President."
[20:14] Mao
    To think about...
[20:18] Mao
    how I really see Hisashi.
[20:21] Hisashi
    "Do you think you might actually be into me?"
[20:27] Mao
    Am I... is that it?
[20:31] Hisashi
    Mao?
[20:34] Hisashi
    You were spaced out yesterday, too.
    Are you sure you're feeling okay?
[20:38] Hisashi
    You're all red. Do you have a fever?
[20:42] Mao
    So that was it. The thing I was hung up on.
[20:47] Mao
    Do I actually like Hisashi?
[20:52] Mao
    Since when? His face? Personality?
    When did this begin?
[20:56] Mao
    What do I like about him? What started it?
[20:59] Hisashi
    My hands are cold so it's hard to tell.
[20:59] Mao
    And why now? I don't know.
[21:02] Mao
    All I do know is...
[21:03] Hisashi
    Hold on a sec.
[21:07] Mao
    I wish I'd never realized this.
[21:10] Hisashi
    Mao... your eyes are watering,
    like you're gonna cry.

    Same. Did you come from a temple?
[02:34] Yukitaka
    No, I did not.
[02:38] Hisashi
    He doesn't look like a class president.
    You guys sure about this?
[02:41] Hisashi
    Isn't he a little too virtuous?
[02:42] Runa
    Don't worry about it. From now on,
    you two will do read-throughs together.

    We'll provide socks for you.
[03:16] Runa

[03:18] Hisashi
    The top is fine, but the pants are too small.
[03:21] Runa
    No way!
[03:23] Runa
    They're bontan pants, so the thighs
    should be baggy and the waist is huge...
[03:27] Hisashi
    It's the length.

[04:56] Yukitaka
    That's how they're completed.
[04:58] Hisashi
    Huh.
[04:59] Runa
    Regarding the schedule,
    we're planning for a five-day shoot.
[05:04] Yukitaka
    That sure is long.
[05:05] Runa
    Yeah. There's a lot of shots we have to do
    at specific times. Including rainy scenes.
[05:10] Yukitaka
    That's all right. We only do one
    full-length film a year, anyway.
[05:14] Hisashi
    It says it's thirty minutes long.
    Isn't that kind of short?
[05:19] Hisashi
    Oh. Did I say the wrong thing?
[05:24] Giichi
    Well, it's certainly much shorter than
    the two-hour movies you see at the cinema.
[05:29] Giichi
    But this will still be
    really difficult to make.
[05:32] Giichi
    It'll take a huge investment of
    time, money, and manpower.
[05:36] Giichi
    See, as students in a high school club,
[05:39] Giichi
    we had to find ways to make
    ends meet, and meet again,
[05:42] Giichi
    until we finally had the budget
    to do thirty minutes.
[05:45] Giichi
    That's why we want to put our heart
    and soul into making this thing fly.
[05:54] Hisashi
    Can you pull it off?
[05:56] Giichi
    I'm sure I can.
[05:58] Giichi
    Ouch!
[05:59] Runa
    Then actually do it. Quit fooling around.
[06:02] Runa
    And quit throwing trash.

    Anyway, this is pretty much how
    preparations usually go. Any questions?

    What about Mao?
[06:11] Runa
    Mao?
[06:13] Giichi

[06:15] Runa
    Yeah. They're off location hunting.
[06:18] camera crew member
    Starting from a low angle?
[06:19] Mao
    Yeah. I'll tilt, then hold on a subjective shot
    until I can see the class president.
[06:24] camera crew member
    Are you gonna storyboard this scene, Mao?
[06:27] Mao
    Yeah. As long as the director says it's okay.
[06:37] Hisashi
    Keeping busy?
[06:38] Mao
    Yeah, as you can see.
[06:40] Mao
    And you? Done with the costume fitting?
[06:46] Hisashi
    Yeah. They said we'd do a read-through
     tomorrow and let me go.
[06:49] Mao
    Okay.
[06:51] Hisashi
    So like, are we going to be apart
    until shooting starts?
[06:55] Mao
    Oh... Yeah, maybe. I'll probably
    shoot your rehearsals, though.
[06:59] Hisashi
    They said it'll be a five-day shoot.
    The prep will take even longer, right?
[07:03] Mao
    Well, prep is really important.
[07:05] Mao
    But even then, we'll probably still lose
    things or run into trouble along the way.
[07:10] Mao
    I don't even want to think about it.
[07:13] Mao
    You tired?
[07:15] Hisashi
    Yeah. My social battery's low, I think.
[07:18] Hisashi
    There's a lot of people in the film club.
[07:20] Mao
    Need a break?
[07:22] Hisashi
    No, that isn't it.
[07:25] Hisashi
    Maybe I just wasn't getting enough of you.
[07:27] Mao
    Wh-What do you mean?
[07:31] Hisashi
    I seriously need to recharge.
[07:36] Mao
    Look, man...
[07:40] Mao
    Jeez. Does he realize
    I've been avoiding him?
[07:45] Mao
    Well, he's always been pretty touchy-feely.
[07:47] Mao
    Maybe he was lonely since he's
    not used to the guys in the club yet.
[07:51] Mao
    Yeah.
[07:53] Mao
    Yeah.
[07:55] Mao
    Delicate little moments like this
    keep piling up, bit by bit.
[08:00] Mao
    That's probably why I started
    to like him... I guess.
[08:06] Mao
    This is probably just him
    warming up to me as a friend...
[08:11] Mao
    But isn't it weird?
[08:13] Mao
    When you like someone, it's really hard
    if they don't like you back.
[08:18] Mao
    So, why...
[08:21] Hisashi
    You must be exhausted.
[08:23] Mao
    Me? No, I'm totally fine.
[08:27] Mao
    H-Hey! You're too heavy!

[08:35] Hisashi
    Oh, wow.

    You're way lighter than

[08:38] Hisashi
    Now take me back to the dorm like this.
[08:41] Mao
    Not a chance.
[08:43] Mao
    I'm sure Hisashi and his lover

    The hell, man? Don't you
    have anything else to say?

[09:15] Giichi
    Uh... S-So, Otomo there?
[09:18] Giichi
    I wanted to tell him to break a leg.
[09:21] Mao
    No, he's out right now.
[09:23] Giichi
    Really?
[09:25] Giichi
    You know, Otomo's doing a great job.
[09:27] Giichi
    Even Honjo said he thinks
    he's cut out for this.

    Oh, I gotta go. I'll call again later.

    Thanks. Is it really bad?
[10:22] Hisashi
    This might be a problem

[10:25] Mao
    You don't need to worry about that right now.
[10:28] Hisashi
    Sorry about this.

[10:53] Hisashi
    We were worn out from

[10:55] Hisashi
    The only reason it lasted this long is
    because I kept dragging it out.
[10:59] Hisashi
    But I knew it was over.
[11:02] Mao
    When your loved one isn't feeling joy,
[11:05] Mao
    what then, God?
[11:08] Mao
    I feel so conflicted right now.

    because Hisashi's hurt.

    But, also...

[12:49] Hisashi
    and for some reason, I was the one
    who ended up ostracized from my family.
[12:53] Hisashi
    At fourteen, in the second year of
    middle school, someone else took me in.
[12:57] Hisashi
    It was my homeroom teacher.
[12:58] (Flashback) Teacher
    You don't want to go home?
[13:01] (Flashback) Teacher
    I see. Why don't you come home with me, then?
[13:07] (Flashback) Teacher
    But only if you can keep it a secret.
[13:11] Hisashi
    He made me feel like I belonged.
[13:17] Hisashi
    We were still together when I was fifteen,
    even after I got a different teacher.
[13:20] Hisashi
    Exams were close.
[13:23] (Flashback) Teacher
    Okay then, I'll head out first.
    Wait a while to leave.
[13:26] (Flashback) Teacher
    Try not to raise suspicion.
[13:28] Hisashi
    Secrets, secrets... A hidden relationship.
[13:32] Hisashi
    That's all he ever thinks about.
[13:35] Hisashi
    He knows he's all I have. But
    does he really care about me at all?
[13:39] (Flashback) Hisashi
    What would you do if people
    found out about us, Sensei?
[13:44] (Flashback) Teacher
    I would never screw things up like that.
[13:46] (Flashback) Teacher
    But if you ever told anyone,
    it would all be over.
[13:50] (Flashback) Teacher
    Can you handle this?
[13:53] Hisashi
    He could have let me go at any time,
    but I didn't want to let go of him.
[13:59] Hisashi
    Because I had nobody else.
[14:02] Hisashi
    The relationship dragged on like that
    until I was sixteen. Until today.
[14:10] (Flashback) Teacher
    I suppose we should break up, then.
[14:13] Hisashi
    Whenever this happened, I would
    apologize, and then refuse to break up.
[14:17] Hisashi
    But this time...
[14:21] (Flashback) Mao
    Welcome home.
[14:23] (Flashback) Mao
    But what time do you think it is, young man?
[14:25] (Flashback) Mao
    I certainly didn't raise my own son
    to become a juvenile delinquent.
[14:31] Hisashi
    He does a dad version of it, too.
[14:34] (Flashback) Mao
    You're no son of mine, that's for sure!
SIGN    Stubborn Old Man
[14:39] (Flashback) Teacher
    What's so funny?
[14:42] Hisashi
    Yeah, I should go home.
[14:46] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Fine. Let's break up already.
[14:50] (Flashback) Teacher
    Huh?
[14:51] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I said I'll break up with you,
    you disgusting pedo.
[14:55] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I was wrong about you.
[14:56] (Flashback) Hisashi
    You're just some sick **** who's
    gets turned on being **** by kids.
[15:00] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Too bad I went and grew up on you.
[15:02] (Flashback) Hisashi
    But I'm tired of getting 
    by your **** now, anyway.
[15:05] Hisashi
    I can't take it anymore.
    Talk about a shitty...
[15:08] (Flashback) Teacher
    How dare you!
[15:09] Hisashi
    Talk about a shitty first love.
[15:13] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Ouch. He really hit me hard.
[15:17] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Wow, it still gets pretty cold at night.
[15:20] Hisashi
    What is this feeling?
[15:23] Hisashi
    I was so attached to him, but now
    I don't even want to look back.
[15:27] Hisashi
    I guess it does hurt a little bit.
[15:30] Hisashi
    But more importantly,
    I want to hurry up and get home.
[15:34] Hisashi
    Hurry up, hurry up...
[15:37] Hisashi
    I wonder if Mao is up waiting for me.
[15:39] Hisashi
    Yeah. I'm sure he's still up.
[15:42] Hisashi
    Hurry up...
[15:46] Hisashi
    I gotta get back to our room.
[15:48] Hisashi
    What is this, I wonder?
[15:52] Hisashi
    This warm feeling in my chest...
[15:54] Hisashi
    I want to know what it means.
[15:57] Mao
    I really like you, Hisashi.
[16:00] Hisashi
    What should I do?
[16:02] Hisashi
    I'm so happy.
[16:04] Hisashi
    So happy, so happy!
[16:06] Hisashi
    Is that why? Yeah, that must be it.
[16:10] Hisashi
    I must like Mao, too.
[16:14] Hisashi
    Since when? When did this begin?
[16:17] Hisashi
    What do I like about him? What started it?
[16:22] Hisashi
    But it doesn't feel strange at all.
    It feels completely natural.
[16:27] Hisashi
    Does that mean it's okay to keep going?
[16:31] Hisashi
    Mao says he likes me. Does he really?
[16:35] Hisashi
    Knowing him, he might
    only feel sorry for me,
[16:39] Hisashi
    because I just broke up with my lover.
[16:42] Hisashi
    It's going to look like I'm rebounding hard,
[16:45] Hisashi
    especially if I break my promise with him.
[16:48] Mao
    Hisashi?
[16:50] Hisashi
    I want to touch you. Is that okay?
[16:53] Hisashi
    I don't want to break my promise,
    so you come to me.
[16:57] Hisashi
    Look at me, sweet-talking
    him right into my hands.
[17:16] Hisashi
    Ow!
[17:17] Mao
    Ah!
[17:18] Hisashi
    Oh, it's fine. There's a cut
    on the inside of my mouth.
[17:24] Mao
    I-I... I'm sorry. What have I done?
[17:30] Hisashi
    Mao...?
[17:35] Mao
    I need to go cool my head.
[17:38] Hisashi
    Huh?
[17:40] Hisashi
    Hey, wait!
[17:42] Hisashi
    Mao!
[17:45] Hisashi
    He ran off on me. But why?
[17:51] Hisashi
    As soon as I touched him, it was ruined.
    Maybe he only felt bad for me, after all.
[17:56] Hisashi
    Or was I wrong about him, too?
    Did I hurt his feelings?
[18:01] Hisashi
    Did I put a button in the wrong hole again?
[18:07] Giichi
    Clear and sunny. Perfect shooting weather.
[18:10] Runa
    Everyone get ready!
[18:16] Runa
    We're ready to go.
[18:20] Giichi
    You've transformed!
[18:22] Giichi
    You look like the perfect
    class president from any angle.
[18:25] Giichi
    Not to mention the perfect bottom.
    This is gonna be great.
[18:29] Runa
    I never recognize him, every single time.
[18:34] Runa
    What do we do about Otomo's bruise?
    Cover it up with makeup?
[18:38] Giichi
    No, it makes him look like
    a hooligan. Let's leave it as is.
[18:43] Giichi
    Otomo, scene 3.
[18:45] Giichi
    Come out the front door and call
    to him, like you're teasing him.
[18:49] Giichi
    Try to speak in a loud voice.
[18:52] Giichi
    Otomo?
[18:53] Hisashi
    Sorry. What?
[18:54] Giichi
    We're about to start.
    Loud voice, okay? You're up.
[19:01] Runa
    Let's do a test.
[19:03] crew
    Okay!
[19:03] crew
    Sure!
[19:05] Hisashi
    Go out the front door, waving the letter.
[19:08] Hisashi
    "President, here." "President, here."
[19:12] Hisashi
    Go out with the letter. "President, here."
[19:16] Hisashi
    Am I nervous?
[19:19] Hisashi
    Yeah, I sure am.
[19:21] Giichi
    Ready? Action!
[19:26] Hisashi
    But I have so much else going on right now.
[19:30] Hisashi
    I'm so anxious. My head's in the clouds.
[19:33] Hisashi
    This really isn't the time
    to be making movies.
[19:37] Hisashi
    Don't you feel the same way, Mao?
[19:47] Giichi
    Cut.
[19:50] Runa
    Let's go for take two.
[19:54] Giichi
    Cut! One more time.
[19:56] Giichi
    Cut!
[19:57] Giichi
    Cut! One more!
[19:59] Giichi
    Cut!
[20:01] Giichi
    One more time.
[20:04] Runa
    All units, if you're ready, raise your hands!
[20:07] Runa
    Art crew, prop check!
[20:08] member 1
    Otomo, how's the letter looking?
[20:10] Hisashi
    Oh.
[20:11] member 1
    Ah, can't use this anymore.
[20:14] member 1
    Hey, bring me a spare!
[20:17] Giichi
    Oh, boy. His heart isn't in it.
[20:20] Giichi
    How should we handle this?
[20:22] Mao
    Director?
[20:23] Giichi
    Hmm?
[20:25] Mao
    Let's take a fifteen minute break.
[20:28] Giichi
    All right.
[20:30] Mao
    Hisashi.
[20:33] Mao
    A minute?
SIGN    Lemon Yogurt
[20:37] Hisashi
    Thanks.
[20:39] Hisashi

    if you had something in your stomach.
[21:01] Hisashi
    Sorry. I just can't get this right.
[21:05] Mao
    It's all right.
[21:07] Mao
    It's like this at the start for everyone.
    They all understand.
[21:11] Mao
    Actually, you should see Ichikawa's
    acting. It's the absolute worst.
[21:15] Hisashi
    Seriously?
[21:17] (Flashback) Runa
    You forget how to walk?
[21:18] Mao
    As an extra, he can't even figure out
    how to walk straight.
[21:24] Hisashi
    He's so kind to me. How can
    Mao be so relaxed right now?
[21:28] Hisashi
    And why did he run off?
    I just can't stop thinking about it.
[21:33] Hisashi
    Or maybe... was it all a dream?
    A hallucination?
[21:39] Hisashi
    Hey, about yesterday...
[21:42] Mao
    I don't want to talk about yesterday.
[21:47] Mao
    Right now, I just want to
    concentrate on the shoot.
[21:51] Mao
    Everyone's putting their all into this.
    We can't afford to mess up.
[21:58] Mao
    I need you to take it seriously too, Hisashi.
[22:00] Mao
    Y-You want things to change, right?
[22:03] Mao
    When this is all over, I'll come talk to you.
[22:06] Mao
    Just wait until then.
[22:14] Hisashi
    Yeah, I guess he's right.
[22:17] Hisashi
    Things have to change.

    Got it.

    I just want to get through

    Okay.
[02:52] Runa
    Pack it up!
[02:54] Giichi
    Yeah.
[02:56] Giichi
    Otomo's nailing it.
[02:58] Runa
    He's really focused. The drama club
    even said they wanted to recruit him.
[03:02] Giichi
    And that face.
[03:03] Runa
    Yeah, he looks great.
[03:06] Giichi
    I guess he's finally ready to commit.
[03:09] Giichi
    On the other hand...
[03:11] Giichi
    Mao. Mao?
[03:15] Giichi
    You trying to hide or something?
    That won't work on me.
[03:18] Giichi
    You aren't focused at all.

[03:21] Giichi
    And to top it off, the shoot's
    running behind. Get it together, man.
[03:29] Mao
    It's not like I screwed anything up.
[03:31] Giichi
    What was that?!
[03:32] Mao
    If you've got a problem, give
    the camera to someone else.
[03:38] Giichi
    Hey, asshole! What did just you say?
[03:38] Runa
    Hold on, now!
[03:40] Giichi
    Hey! Look at me!
[03:42] Runa
    Look, we had a good shoot today.
[03:45] Runa
    We've still got tomorrow,
    so let's call it a day.
[03:47] Giichi
    Hmph!
[03:49] Giichi
    Grr! Grr!
[03:49] Runa
    Oh, boy. That sure set him off.
[03:51] Runa
    He's really on edge today.
[03:53] Runa
    And tomorrow's another important
    day of shooting. Scene 18, right?
[03:57] Runa
    Since we're shooting the kiss scene...
[04:00] Runa
    Um, hey!
[04:02] Runa
    Mao, you okay?
[04:04] Mao
    Huh?
[04:06] Mao
    Mm-hmm.
[04:09] Mao
    Just like Ichikawa said,
    my head's in the clouds.
[04:12] Mao
    Even though I put a lid on things...
[04:14] Mao
    I'd better pull myself together.
[04:22] Hisashi
    They said we're shooting the kiss tomorrow.
[04:25] Mao
    Oh. Right.
[04:27] Hisashi
    I'm so nervous. Kissing in public?
[04:30] Hisashi
    Actors sure have it rough.
SIGN    You and the Seasons, etc...
[04:32] Mao
    Yeah, but you're an actor now too, Hisashi.
[04:36] Hisashi
    I'm still nowhere near Honjo's level, though.
[04:39] Hisashi
    I really doubt I can do this.
[04:42] Mao
    Huh? Do what?
[04:45] Hisashi
    Kiss someone I'm not even into.
[04:52] Mao
    This is so awkward.
[04:53] Mao
    Hisashi must be angry at me
    for running away after what I did.
[04:59] Mao
    Aren't you gonna get that?
[05:01] Hisashi
    Is it too loud?
[05:03] Mao
    No.
[05:06] Hisashi
    Are you jealous?
[05:07] Mao
    There. Looking at me
    with those feverishly tempting,
[05:12] Mao
    probing eyes again.
[05:17] Hisashi
    Just kidding. I won't answer.
[05:20] Hisashi
    And, declined.
[05:23] Mao
    Are you going somewhere?
[05:25] Hisashi
    The lounge.
[05:27] Hisashi
    It's easier for me to memorize lines
    if I read them somewhere noisy.
[05:30] Hisashi
    Tomorrow's a big day on set, right?
[05:35] Mao
    I can't let myself get worked up like this.
[05:38] Mao
    I've got to get a hold of myself.
    At least until the shoot is over.
[05:43] Giichi
    Honjo, push him away as hard as you can.
[05:46] Giichi
    Then Otomo, let go so you don't get hurt.
[05:49] Giichi
    I'll let you guys figure out the timing.
[05:51] Yukitaka
    It's fine. I'll give him a signal.
[05:53] Yukitaka
    Otomo, a little more to your right.
[05:59] Runa
    Scene 18, shot 4. Let's do a take.
[06:04] Giichi
    Ready.
[06:08] Giichi
    Action!
[06:10] Mao
    I just have to shoot like I always do.
    I've already imagined this scene in my head.
[06:15] Mao
    Many, many times.
[06:17] Mao
    That's why...
[06:19] Mao
    When we really did kiss,
    it was nothing like what I imagined.
[06:24] Mao
    It was totally different from a movie.
[06:26] Hisashi
    What, did you think you were
    going to get kissed, Honjo?
[06:31] Mao
    I'm getting overwhelmed by feelings
    right now that aren't all very pretty.
[06:36] Mao
    Like, "I need more than this."
    "I want him all to myself."
[06:41] Mao
    Even the image I have of Hisashi in our
    room this year, always looking so in love...
[06:46] Mao
    I wanted to rip it to shreds
    and throw it all away.
[06:49] Yukitaka
    Please stop teasing me!
[06:55] Yukitaka
    Is it really that funny that
    I get so nervous around you?
[07:00] Yukitaka
    It isn't Agatsuma. I'm more
    interested in you right now.
[07:04] Yukitaka
    I don't even understand
    these feelings myself.
[07:11] Hisashi
    I'm sorry for teasing you.
[07:13] Hisashi
    Would you let me start over?
[07:16] Hisashi
    This time I'll do it for real.
[07:18] Mao
    I know this is all part of a movie,
[07:22] Mao
    but I still can't stand to see
    Hisashi kissing someone el—
[07:29] Hisashi
    Mao!
[07:32] Giichi
    Mao?
[07:34] Giichi
    Are you okay? Did you hit your head?
[07:39] Giichi
    Mao!
[07:41] Mao
    Ouch... The camera?
[07:43] Giichi
    Forget it. Are you good?
    At least you're conscious.
[07:47] Giichi
    I'll take him to the nurse's office.
    Somebody give me a hand.
[07:51] Hisashi
    No, I'll take him.
[07:53] Giichi
    Otomo...
[07:56] Giichi
    By yourself? Can you manage?
[07:59] Hisashi
    Easy.
[08:00] Hisashi
    Someone go along—
[08:01] Mao
    Ichikawa.
[08:02] Mao
    The camera's more important.
    Check if it's okay.
[08:05] Giichi
    All right.

    Damn it.

    Will you stay with him?
[08:26] Hisashi
    Sure.
[08:28] Hisashi
    Mao, how are you doing?
[08:37] Mao
    Ugh! Damn it!
[08:45] Mao
    I'm all mixed up.
[08:47] Mao
    I couldn't concentrate and screwed up
    the most important shot.
[08:52] Mao
    What are the third-years gonna say
    if the camera is dead?
[08:56] Mao
    And Ichikawa not blaming me
    makes me feel even guiltier.
[09:00] Mao
    Why am I getting jealous over a damn movie?
[09:04] Mao
    I'm such an idiot.
[09:08] Hisashi
    Oh well. We'll just have to shoot it again.
[09:18] Nurse
    Are you feeling all right?
    I've got to step out for a bit.
[09:21] Nurse
    I'll be with the baseball club,
    so call for me if you need anything.
[09:24] Hisashi
    All right.
[09:30] Hisashi
    Listen, I... For me,
    this is kind of a relief.
[09:34] Hisashi
    You seemed so calm the whole time,
    Mao, like it didn't even bother you.
[09:39] Hisashi
    But were you actually
    thinking about us after all?
[09:43] Hisashi
    That would make me happy, but...
[09:46] Hisashi
    I know that sounds cruel.
    Like I'm happy that you screwed up.
[10:00] Hisashi
    Were you thinking about me?
[10:09] Hisashi
    Hey, Mao. Look over here.
[10:17] Mao
    Wha—?
[10:19] Hisashi
    If you can't lie to this thing,
    then talk to me.
[10:23] Hisashi
    Tell me how you feel, Mao.
[10:25] Hisashi
    Don't hide it. Tell me everything.
[10:29] Hisashi
    Come on. The camera's rolling.
[10:41] Mao
    Hisashi, I really like you.
[10:45] Mao
    But it's turning me into an awful person.
[10:49] Mao
    I want you to like me, too.
    I want you all to myself.
[10:53] Mao
    Whenever I think about the guy you were
    dating before, it makes me so jealous.
[10:59] Mao
    I don't want you to see anyone but me.
[11:04] Hisashi
    I feel the same way!
[11:07] Hisashi
    I want you all to myself.
    I want you to see only me.

[12:09] Hisashi
    Otomo, present.
SIGN    Tsuchiya?
[12:16] Mao
    Present! Tsuchiya, present!
SIGN    Okay.
[12:28] Mao
    Hisashi, wai—
[12:32] Hisashi
    You scared?
[12:35] Hisashi
    Sorry. I can't promise you
    that it'll be easy.
[12:42] Hisashi
    But I want to see how you react, Mao.
[12:46] Hisashi
    I want to see what you'll
    let me get away with.
[12:55] Mao
    See? There it is again. Hisashi's bad habit.
[13:00] Mao
    His eyes are testing me.
    They're probing into my core.
[13:05] Mao
    But I don't hate that.
[13:10] Mao
    Test me as much as you want.
[13:13] Mao
    Whether I let you or not,
    I have only one response.
[13:17] Mao
    I like you.
[13:20] Mao
    Don't worry. I'll accept any part of you.
[13:24] Mao
    Don't hold back, okay?
[13:26] Mao
    It is my first time, but
    I have an idea of how it goes.
[13:30] Mao
    I studied a lot of pink films.
    You don't have to be gentle.
[13:35] Hisashi
    Seriously.
[13:37] Hisashi
    I've got nothing on you, Mao.
[13:46] Hisashi
    Mao... Mao...
[13:49] Mao
    Hisashi called my name as if delirious,
[13:53] Mao
    while thrusting so deep
    inside me, over and over.
[13:58] Mao
    I felt him swelling up inside me...
[14:13] Hisashi
    Feeling okay? Are you sore at all?
[14:17] Mao
    Is this...
[14:18] Hisashi
    Is this?
[14:19] Mao
    Is this how lovers have always done it?!
[14:22] Mao
    I should have filmed it! For posterity!
[14:26] Hisashi
    Huh?
[14:27] Mao
    Seems like a tricky theme, though. Eros...
[14:29] Hisashi
    So... should I be relieved?
[14:32] Hisashi
    An erotic movie, huh?
    Let's film the next time.
[14:34] Mao
    Huh? Huh?
[14:35] Hisashi
    Oh, that's not what you meant.
[14:37] Hisashi
    But I'm glad you aren't sore.
[14:41] Hisashi
    Want to sleep a bit?
[14:43] Mao
    I'm not sleepy at all.
[14:45] Mao
    Would you talk to me? Tell me about you.
[14:49] Mao
    You never talk about yourself.
    I want to know more.
[14:53] Hisashi
    Coming from you?
[14:55] Hisashi
    Talk about myself... hmm.
[14:58] Mao
    Or just tell me what's been
    on your mind recently.
[15:01] Hisashi
    The last scene of the movie we're making.
[15:04] Hisashi
    It ends when the president
     transfers schools,
[15:07] Hisashi
    and the two of them break up, right?
[15:10] Mao
    Yeah. They shake hands in the library
    and go their separate ways.
[15:14] Mao
    The class president leaves first,
    and then Hisa—
[15:18] Mao
    Otomo goes later.
[15:20] Mao
    Then the credits roll on
    a shot of the empty library.
[15:25] Hisashi
    When I read the script,
    I thought it was such a sad story.
[15:29] Hisashi
    They finally developed feelings for
    each other, but then had to break up.
[15:34] Hisashi
    I'd interpreted it as a tragedy.
[15:36] Hisashi
    But now I imagine Otomo
    chasing after the president.
[15:44] Hisashi
    Maybe he remembers the time they kissed
    in the library, runs after him,
[15:48] Hisashi
    and then embraces him.
[15:56] Hisashi
    He'd probably say, "Even if we're far apart,
    our hearts will stay connected."
[16:01] Hisashi
    I'd never really thought about
     what a movie means before.
[16:05] Hisashi
    No, not just movies... about anything.
[16:08] Hisashi
    I just took things the way they were.
[16:11] Hisashi
    That was enough for me then.
    Not anymore, though.
[16:15] Hisashi
    I want to pay more attention
    to things going forward.
[16:17] Hisashi
    To think about myself,
    about you, about family...
[16:22] Hisashi
    About the future, about acting.
    And about tomorrow's shoot.
[16:29] Mao
    I want to think about the future, too.
[16:34] Mao
    About a way I can stay in your life forever.
[16:45] Hisashi
    Are you sleepy?
[16:47] Mao
    No.
[16:50] Hisashi
    One more time. I'll just use my hands.
[16:54] Mao
    Mm-hmm.
[17:11] Mao
    Good morning, Hisashi.
[17:12] Hisashi
    Morning, Mao.
[17:15] Hisashi
    This is bad. We're late. Wanna skip?
[17:20] Mao
    I'm not gonna skip.
    The shoot's after class.
[17:23] Hisashi
    Okay, then I'll hurry. My hair is a mess.
[17:28] Hisashi
    Huh?
[17:29] Hisashi
    Hey, is this thing rolling?
    There's a light on.
[17:33] Mao
    Okay, I'm ready to go. Hurry up, Hisashi.
[17:36] Hisashi
    Yeah, okay.
[17:38] Hisashi
    We're gonna have to run.
[17:40] Hisashi
    One second, Mao.
[17:57] Mao
    I'm sorry for all the trouble
    I caused yesterday.
[18:03] Hisashi
    Forget it. Nobody thinks it was your fault.
[18:07] Hisashi
    But are you feeling okay?
[18:08] Mao
    Wha—? What do you mean?
[18:11] Mao
    Physically, I'm fine.
[18:15] Giichi
    I mean, has something been bothering you?
[18:18] Giichi
    You've really been out of it recently.
    I've been worried about you.
[18:23] Giichi
    What?
[18:24] Runa
    Nothing. It's just... you actually 
    do care about people?
[18:28] Giichi
    Oh, shut up!
[18:29] Giichi
    Of course a director cares about his team.
[18:34] Giichi
    We've gotta have each other's backs.
    Who knows? Next time could be me.
[18:38] Giichi
    And we've still have tons
    of challenges like this ahead.
[18:41] Giichi
    Even when someone makes
    a mistake, or trips up,
[18:45] Giichi
    we've got to keep filming together.
[18:50] Giichi
    But even if we shoot it right,
    it might never reach its audience.
[18:54] Giichi
    Maybe nobody will see it...
    or maybe they'll trash it...
[18:59] Giichi
    Oh, this sinking feeling!
[19:02] Runa
    Oh, he's entered his negative phase.
    Well, happens every time.
[19:05] Mao
    This is kind of early, though.
    It's usually after we wrap—
[19:08] Giichi
    Would you shut up?
    You know how sensitive I am!
[19:11] Runa
    Yeah, gotta have each other's backs.
[19:14] Mao
    I think I have you covered today.
    I feel like I can get the perfect shot.
[19:20] Mao
    I'm sure we'll keep repeating this
    over and over again.
[19:23] Mao
    We get all worked up for it,
    but then fail, get depressed...
[19:27] Mao
    But despite all that, once this one is done,
    we'll start making another new movie.
[19:32] Mao
    Because we want to reach someone.
    We want to change something
[19:36] Mao
    over and over again.
[19:37] Runa
    Hey, take a look at this!
[19:39] Runa
    Teru is talking to Otomo. That's so unusual!
[19:43] Giichi
    Whoa. It's been, what, maybe half a year
    since I've seen Teru open his mouth?
[19:48] Runa
    Nah, you're exaggerating.
[19:48] Mao
    I think Hisashi and I will change, too.
[19:50] Giichi
    Not at all.
[19:52] Mao
    Bit by bit. I have a feeling we will.
[19:56] Giichi
    Great light today, though. A honey-colored
    sunset that seems about to melt.
[20:00] Runa
    You're a poet now?
[20:02] Runa
    It is pretty, though.
[20:08] Runa
    Let's get started before we run out of light!
[20:10] members
    Okay!
[20:12] Runa
    Let's do a take!
[20:15] Mao
    Something will change. The idea
    does make me a little nervous,
[20:19] Mao
    but I'm not scared anymore.
[20:21] Giichi
    Everybody ready?
[20:24] Giichi
    Action!
[20:26] Mao
    I just need to center this moment
    and watch as it passes
[20:30] Mao
    without looking away,
    making sure they keep going.
[20:34] Mao
    "Would you let me start over?
    This time I'll do it for real."
[20:38] Mao
    The class president slowly nods,
    their shadows grow close,
[20:43] Mao
    and they kiss.
[20:46] Mao
    They share an unsteady embrace
    and then Otomo, embarrassed, blurts out,
[20:53] Mao
    "I like you... so much."
[20:59] Hisashi
    I like you. I really do.
[21:03] Mao
    I feel my heart skip a beat.
    The tip of my nose tingles.
[21:09] Mao
    The "Otomo" inside the camera looks so happy.
[21:13] Mao
    If his lines were different, he wouldn't
    have sounded nearly as blunt,
[21:17] Mao
    but I bet the director will go with this take.
[21:21] Mao
    That's why I've got to keep
    the camera rolling.
[21:25] Mao
    Even if tears well up in my eyes
    and everything goes out of focus,
[21:28] Mao
    even if everything becomes fuzzy,
    blurry, and indistinct,
[21:33] Mao
    I have to keep the camera rolling
    until they both melt into the twilight.
[21:40] Mao
    Yes. I like you, too.
[21:46] Giichi
    Cut! Okay!

[02:40] Runa
    Thank you very much!
[02:42] Runa
    That's a wrap for Otomo and Honjo!
[02:50] Giichi
    Why don't you each say a few words?
[02:53] Yukitaka
    Mm-hmm.
[02:54] Hisashi
    Me?
[02:55] Hisashi
    Uh... Thanks. Very much.
[02:59] Hisashi
    It was fun.
[03:02] Giichi
    That really was just a few words.
[03:04] Giichi
    Honjo, you're up.
[03:06] Yukitaka
    I'm Honjo. I played the class president.
    Thank you for the opportunity.
[03:10] Yukitaka
    After participating last year,
    one thought I had this time is that
[03:13] Yukitaka
    you've definitely leveled up
    since the first year.
[03:17] Yukitaka
    Your passion for this project
[03:19] Yukitaka
    really inspired me to give
    the best performance I could.
[03:22] Yukitaka
    I'll keep practicing in the drama club,
    and hopefully I can join you again next year.
[03:28] Yukitaka
    Actually, I'm in the process of
    recruiting Otomo-kun to the drama club,
[03:32] Yukitaka
    and I'd love it if we could
    perform together again.
[03:34] Hisashi
    Uh, yeah...
[03:38] Giichi
    Huh?! No way!
[03:39] Giichi
    Otomo's in the film club!
    I'm the one who found him!
[03:43] Giichi
    If he joins the drama club, then other crews
    will want to use him! Like the third-years!
[03:49] Giichi
    I'm totally against it!
[03:49] Runa
    Pack it up!
[03:52] Runa
    Honjo, you brought your clothes, right?
[03:54] Yukitaka
    Yes.
[03:55] Runa
    Then let's change in the classroom.
[03:58] Runa
    Did you, Otomo?
[03:59] Hisashi
    I forgot. I didn't bring anything.
[04:01] Runa
    So back to the dorm then?
[04:03] Runa
    Mao, grab the camera and take Otomo
    with you. You can go home for the day.
[04:08] Mao
    Got it. Let's go, Hisashi.
[04:11] Hisashi
    Yeah.
[04:17] Hisashi
    Mao, you seem depressed. Did I do something?
[04:21] Mao
    Huh? Why? It's nothing.
[04:26] Hisashi
    You're lying. You're definitely
    hiding something from me.
[04:29] Hisashi
    If something is on your mind, then tell me.
    It's written all over your face.
[04:34] Hisashi
    You always go quiet when you're
    trying to hold something back, Mao.
[04:37] Mao
    I...
[04:39] Hisashi
    Don't make me force it out of you.
[04:42] Hisashi
    Just talk to me.
    Let's figure it out together.
[04:47] Hisashi
    We are together now, right?
[04:51] Mao
    It's really nothing, though. Don't worry.
[04:55] Mao
    It's just...
[04:57] Mao
    I'd get lonely if you joined the drama club.
[05:01] Mao
    "Don't go..." was my first thought.
[05:04] Hisashi
    Huh?
[05:05] Mao
    Just for a second! Then I realized...
    I was acting like Ichikawa!
[05:10] Mao
    That's what depressed me.
    I was disappointed in myself!
[05:14] Mao
    I really want you to do
    what you enjoy most, Hisashi.
[05:17] Mao
    And if that means joining the drama
    club, then I think you should.
[05:21] Mao
    I've already made up my mind
    that I want to support you.
[05:27] Hisashi
    Okay, that made me happy.
[05:29] Mao
    Well, it shouldn't.
    I don't want to hold you back.
[05:33] Hisashi
    Why not? It means you want to be with me.
[05:36] Hisashi
    That makes me happy.
[05:37] Hisashi
    I want to be with you, too.
[05:41] Mao
    Hurry up and change! You'll catch a cold.
[05:46] Hisashi
    Then warm me up, Mao.
[05:51] Mao
    That isn't fair, Hisashi. You're too sexy.
[05:54] Hisashi
    Oh, you hadn't noticed?
    I've always been sexy.
[06:26] Mao
    Oh. Was I asleep?
[06:28] Hisashi
    Yeah, you were out.
[06:30] Mao
    What time is it?
[06:31] Hisashi
    It's 11:30 at night. I just woke up myself.
[06:36] Mao
    We slept through dinner and bath time.
[06:40] Mao
    Did they do roll call?
    I might not have locked the door.
[06:43] Hisashi
    Who knows? They aren't too serious about it.
[06:46] Hisashi
    They probably took a peek and then left.
[06:48] Mao
    It's not like I care if they see us, though.
[06:52] Hisashi
    I was pretty rough with you.
    You're sure in good shape.
[06:57] Mao
    I am hungry, though.
[07:00] Hisashi
    Wanna go to the store?
[07:06] Hisashi
    It stopped raining.
[07:08] Mao
    Oh, the Big Dipper!
[07:11] Mao
    This is the first time I've left
    the dorm to go out at night.
[07:14] Hisashi
    Really?
[07:15] Mao
    Yeah.
[07:17] Mao
    It smells different at night. Really does.
[07:21] Mao
    I should've brought the camera.
[07:23] Hisashi
    Mao!
[07:24] Mao
    Hmm?
[07:26] Hisashi
    I think I will join the drama club.
[07:29] Hisashi
    I wouldn't mind being
    in the film club with you,
[07:32] Hisashi
    but you're always more focused
    on what's in front of the camera.
[07:36] Mao
    Hisashi isn't a great talker. I think he
    has trouble expressing his feelings, too.
[07:42] Mao
    But he's still doing his best
    to share them with me.
[07:47] Hisashi
    Listen.
[07:50] Hisashi
    I want you to keep your eyes on me, Mao.
[07:53] Hisashi
    Forever.
[07:55] Mao
    I need to tell him. How I feel
    right now. How happy I am.
[08:03] Mao
    I like you.
[08:05] Mao
    I want to film you, Hisashi, so I can brag
    to everyone about how wonderful you are!
[08:12] Mao
    I don't want anyone else
    to be alone with you.
[08:15] Mao
    I want everyone to know that you're mine!
[08:17] Mao
    Whether it's through a camera or not,
    I will be watching you. Forever!
[08:25] Mao
    Hisashi laughed and I splashed into a puddle
    when he took my hand and said, "Let's go."
[08:31] Mao
    A night after the rain.
    Beautiful stars. The two of us.
[08:35] Mao
    Ah, this is just like a movie!
[08:40] Mao
    I really should have brought
    the camera with me!
[08:46] Mao
    Hisashi joined the drama club
    instead of the film club.
[08:50] Giichi
    The film club found Otomo first!
    You stole him!
[08:54] Runa
    Cool it.
[08:54] Mao
    Ichikawa kept complaining about it,
[08:59] Mao
    but even as I watched Hisashi from afar,
    every day was fulfilling.
SIGN    Hiiragi House
[09:06] Mao
    Recently, he's been getting
    home even later than I do.
[09:10] Hisashi
    I'm back.
[09:11] Mao
    Welcome home!
[09:12] Mao
    Well? How's drama club? Having fun?
[09:16] Hisashi
    Hmm. I don't know yet.
[09:19] Hisashi
    All we do is work out every day.
[09:22] Hisashi
    I don't mind the running, but
    the vocal training is exhausting.
[09:26] Hisashi
    My voice doesn't get that loud.
[09:28] Mao
    Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do?
[09:31] Hisashi
    Right, right.
[09:33] Hisashi
    How about you? Did you finish it?
[09:35] Mao
    Ichikawa's still in the middle of editing.
[09:38] Mao
    He does it all by himself,
    so I just have to wait.
[09:41] Hisashi
    Really? You must be bored.
[09:44] Hisashi
    Let me hold you.
[09:45] Mao
    Okay.
[09:48] Mao
    Well, I did go to help the third-years.
    Mostly just ran errands, though.
[09:53] Hisashi
    I thought you didn't get along
    with the third-years?
[09:56] Mao
    Well, I do, but Ichikawa doesn't
    for some reason.
[10:00] Mao
    They are kind of annoying, though.
    Way too energetic.
[10:04] Hisashi
    Energetic?
[10:05] Mao
    They're always like, "Yay!"
    Like some big show of teamwork.
[10:09] Mao
    They're also really flashy
    and kind of pretentious.
[10:12] Hisashi
    Oh.
[10:13] Mao
    But they're way more skilled than I am,
    so I need to learn what I can.
[10:18] Mao
    The third-years won't be here
    much longer, anyway.
[10:23] Hisashi
    I'm working hard, too.
[10:25] Hisashi
    For now, I'm trying to get a role
    for the school festival.
[10:28] Mao
    Yeah.
[10:29] Hisashi
    Wanna sleep? I'm heading for bed.
[10:32] Hisashi
    Wait, where's my phone?
[10:34] Mao
    It was on your desk a minute ago.
[10:37] Hisashi
    Oh, that's right.
[10:39] Hisashi
    I'd better set an alarm.
[10:41] Mao
    Morning practice?
[10:43] Hisashi
    Yeah. I'll leave before you get up.
[10:45] Mao
    Okay. Good night.
[10:50] Mao
    He used to be on his phone all the time.
[10:53] Mao
    The old Hisashi could never put it down.
[10:58] Mao
    Sometimes at night I'd see a light flicker,
    like he was waiting to hear from someone.
[11:04] Mao
    He looked so lonely.
[11:07] Mao
    All I could do then was watch over him.
[11:13] Hisashi
    Trouble sleeping? Wanna come over?
[11:18] Mao
    Is it really okay for me
    to have him all to myself?
[11:23] Mao
    I can just reach out my hand and
    he's there, ready and waiting for me.
[11:29] Hisashi
    As soon as I touch you,
    I get so turned on. It's tough.
[11:32] Mao
    Hisashi, don't you need to be up early?
[11:34] Hisashi
    Well, yeah. But it's all right.
[11:37] Hisashi
    Do you want to?
[11:38] Mao
    Well... yeah, I do.
[11:52] Hisashi
    What's wrong?
[11:54] Mao
    Listen, I'm totally
    not religious at all, but...
[11:57] Hisashi
    Yeah?
[11:59] Mao
    It must be a sin to be this happy.
    I'm probably on the road to Hell.
[12:03] Hisashi
    Road to Hell?
[12:05] Mao
    Life has its ups and downs...
[12:09] Hisashi
    Oh, he's out.
[12:14] Mao
    Club ran a little late today.
SIGN    Hiiragi House
[12:22] Mao
    I wonder if Hisashi's home.
[12:25] Hisashi
    I've been waiting all this
    time for you to call!
[12:29] Hisashi
    Waiting and... well, I...
[12:31] Mao
    The thought crossed my mind that
    he might be on the phone with his ex.
[12:36] Mao
    Calm down. Calm down!
[12:38] Mao
    Yeah, it's okay. I trust him.
[12:42] Hisashi
    I've been waiting all this time
    for you to call!
[12:44] Mao
    The same line? So this must be...
[12:46] Hisashi
    Waiting and... well, I... That's right.
[12:50] Hisashi
    I've been waiting all this time...
[12:55] Hisashi
    I got a role in the next play!
[12:58] Hisashi
    It's only one line, though.
[13:00] Hisashi
    I'm a hot guy on the phone who gets
    in the way of the protagonist.
[13:04] Hisashi
    Mao?
[13:07] Mao
    Congrat... Congratulations!
[13:09] Hisashi
    Ah! Huh?
[13:11] Hisashi
    Really? You thought I was
    on the phone with that guy?
[13:15] Hisashi
    Not a chance.
[13:17] Mao
    I know, but I just...
[13:20] Mao
    I'm sorry. I screwed up.
    Feel free to get mad at me.
[13:26] Hisashi
    I'm not mad, but
    can I still let loose on you?
[13:29] Mao
    Huh?
[13:29] Hisashi
    I think you need a hard lesson
    in how much I love you.
[13:34] Mao
    I might not be going to Hell after all,
[13:39] Mao
    but I am falling into Hisashi's arms tonight.
[13:45] Hisashi
    I hated the night.
    I never wanted to go home.
[13:49] Hisashi
    I wandered between arcades,
    restaurants, and convenience stores.
[13:53] Hisashi
    I didn't belong anywhere.
[13:56] Hisashi
    They say you can wish upon a star,
[13:59] Hisashi
    but I didn't think my wishes
    would ever be granted.
[14:15] Mao
    We're going out, so please get dressed.
[14:20] Hisashi
    Fine, but leave the dorm? It's past curfew.
[14:25] Hisashi
    Mao-san, have you gone delinquent on me?
[14:27] Mao
    Yes, I have become a delinquent.
[14:30] Hisashi
    Well, that's terrifying!
[14:31] Mao
    I'm a real wild one now,
    and you're coming with me.
[14:35] Mao
    Let's go. Now!
[14:36] Hisashi
    Ooh.
[14:37] Mao
    You can see a school from
    the Midorigaoka observation deck.
[14:40] Mao
    I've been filming it since my first year,
    but I haven't shot it at night yet.
[14:46] Hisashi
    Is this for a movie?
[14:48] Mao
    No, I just do it for fun.
    Like a documentary, I guess.
[14:53] Mao
    The weather was clear today,
    so it seemed like the perfect time to go.
[14:56] Hisashi
    Huh. I've never gone up the observation deck.
[15:01] Hisashi
    Is the view good at night?
[15:02] Mao
    It's so-so.
[15:03] Mao
    It isn't actually that high up.
    It's not on a mountain, just a hill.
[15:07] Hisashi
    Oh. Just a hill, huh?
[15:11] Mao
    Oh.
[15:13] Mao
    Let's stop by a convenience store.
[15:14] Hisashi
    Okay.
[15:16] Hisashi
    I don't know...
SIGN    Oden
    Fair
[15:20] Hisashi
    I don't know why, but I'm really excited.
[15:24] employee
    Thank you very much.
[15:30] Hisashi
    So they did have pork buns.
    I guess it's that time of year.
[15:35] Mao
    Yeah. It's good.
[15:37] Hisashi
    And here I used to hate the night.
[15:46] Hisashi
    I thought it'd be busier than this,
    since it's an observation deck and all.
[15:51] Hisashi
    Is it because it's night?
[15:52] Mao
    It's mostly quiet during the day, too.
    You might see people jogging sometimes.
[15:57] Mao
    And there's a rumor that something's here.
    On the last night of summer training camp,
[16:02] Mao
    the hockey club comes by
    as a test of courage.
[16:04] Hisashi
    Something like what? A ghost?
[16:07] Mao
    Yes.
[16:08] Mao
    This hill used to be a cemetery, you see?
[16:12] Mao
    Night by night, the ghost of a fallen warrior
    comes lurching across the grounds
[16:18] Mao
    to curse you.
[16:19] Hisashi
    Really? Oh my gosh!
[16:21] Mao
    That creep you out? Scared?
[16:23] Hisashi
    Hmm... well, considering
    the location, I guess a little.
[16:27] Hisashi
    But look at those cute hands!
[16:32] Mao
    If you are scared, you know,
    you could hold on to me.
[16:38] Mao
    Just kidding.
[16:46] Hisashi
    Then I guess I will. I'm so, so scared!
[16:52] Mao
    Hisashi?
[16:53] Hisashi
    So that's it.
[16:56] Hisashi
    I didn't hate it. Maybe I was just scared.
[17:00] Hisashi
    It scared me to think
    I was alone in the darkness.
[17:06] Hisashi
    But right now, I'm glad it's night.
[17:22] Mao
    Hisashi! Hold on!
[17:25] Hisashi
    Just let me touch your back a little.
[17:28] Mao
    Hisashi... we can't. We're outside.
[17:33] Hisashi
    But it's dark.
[17:35] Hisashi
    It's fine. There's nobody here.
[17:38] Hisashi
    It's okay because it's night.
[17:46] Mao
    I know it's night, but
    we're outside! We can't!
[17:49] Mao
    I mean, we can't go all the way, right?
[17:53] Mao
    Wh-When we get back, I wanna take our time.
[18:02] Hisashi
    Fine. Then let's go back to our room.
[18:08] Hisashi
    But you know, we should
    go out like this again.
[18:12] Hisashi
    Night or day doesn't matter.
    Just the two of us, okay?
[18:17] Mao
    Yeah.
[18:35] Hisashi
    On the walk home, we saw a shooting star.

    Good. You wanna do this?

    The film club. Ichikawa's crew!
[20:37] Student 2
    The film club loves
    parading through the halls!
[20:40] Student 3
    I hear they've been shooting recently.
[20:43] Student 4
    A new movie?
[20:44] Student 3
    Probably for that contest.
[20:45] Student 4
    Oh. With a screening at the school festival?
    I remember from last year.
[20:50] Student 1
    One of the members said they're
    making a boys' love movie.
[20:52] Student 2
    BL? At an all-boys school?
[20:55] Student 2
    They've sure got some guts.
[20:56] Student 3
    You know Otomo in class C?
    Sounds like he's acting in it.
[21:00] Student 4
    Seriously? I wouldn't have expected him.
[21:02] Student 4
    Wow.
[21:06] Giichi
    People are talking about us. Good, good.
[21:09] Runa
    Eww. Look at him smirk.
[21:12] Mao
    Seems we're getting a lot of attention.
[21:14] Giichi
    There's nothing better than advance publicity.
[21:17] Giichi
    This is right according to my plan.
[21:18] Mao
    Quit the hand-rubbing, villain.
[21:20] Runa
    The rumors might not all be good, though.
[21:24] Runa
    Some viewers have said, "I can't even
    imagine that crew shooting a romantic film."
[21:27] Runa
    How does that make you feel?
    Do you have any comment?
[21:33] Giichi
    What do they mean, "that crew"?
[21:35] Runa
    Well, maybe they don't think we
    have enough experience in romance.
[21:39] Giichi
    Because we aren't popular enough?
[21:41] Runa
    That's right.
[21:45] Giichi
    Who cares? Let them talk.
[21:48] Runa
    How odd. I thought you'd get mad.
[21:50] Giichi
    The film will change their minds.
[21:53] Giichi
    It's true that I'm not very
    experienced in romance.
[21:56] Giichi
    I do want to change that someday,
    but for now I'm good.
[22:00] Giichi
    I'm so busy making movies,
    I don't have any time for distractions.
[22:06] Giichi
    We'll make a great film... to get back
    at those guys laughing at us!
[22:11] Giichi
    We're gonna bring the
    third-years to their knees!
[22:14] Runa
    Oh, here we go again. Sure, sure.
[22:16] Mao
    Ichikawa says that, but what
    if he ends up finding someone first?
[22:20] Runa
    You never know when you'll meet someone.
    They could appear out of nowhere.
[22:24] Giichi
    Oh, come on. Quit trying to scare me.
[22:28] Giichi
    People do talk about "falling" in love.
[22:31] Giichi
    I wonder... maybe it could happen suddenly.
[22:35] Giichi
    Yeah, for example...
[22:38] Giichi
    someone could appear from around a corner
    and run into me, or something.
[22:46] Giichi
    The third-year club president?!
[22:59] Giichi
    Jeez. Mister big shot.
[23:01] Runa
    What a surprise! It was so sudden,
    I forgot to say hi.
[23:06] Runa
    Those third-years sure have an attitude.
[23:08] Giichi
    For now, love and romance
    will have to take a back seat.
[23:12] Giichi
    At least until I take that
    stuck-up prick of a president
[23:15] Giichi
    and show him what I'm made of!
[23:17] Giichi
    We're settling this at the school

    All the yelling faded into the distance
[04:30] Jin
    and everything moved slowly.
[04:33] Jin
    Everything, including our thoughts.
    Slow, slow, slow.
[04:39] Jin
    Like it was shot at high speed,
    at 960 frames per second.
[04:43] Jin
    If we had a camera running,
    it would have been a great shot.
[04:49] Jin
    I'll definitely use this in my next movie.
[04:58] Jin
    Wh-What the hell are you doing,
    Ichikawa Giichi?!
[05:01] Giichi
    H-How dare you?! That's what
     I should be asking you!
[05:05] Jin
    This happened in spring, at the
    beginning of the new school year.
[05:10] Chiaki
    I was seriously worried! Ichikawa and Jin
    looked like they were ready to explode!
[05:15] Tsuchiya
    And Jin was the one
    to lose his cool for a change.
[05:18] Chiaki
    He should've just ignored him like always.
[05:21] Rei
    It's your fault for letting him get to you.
[05:24] Chiaki
    And then they kissed! Just like a BL.

[05:31] Rei
    It's a kind of love story between guys.
[05:36] Tsuchiya
    Don't underclassmen always declare
     their love for you, Jin? It's like that.
[05:39] Chiaki
    Yup! 'Cause he's the most popular guy
    at Midorigaoka High!
[05:43] Chiaki
    Sucks that it's a boys school, though.
[05:45] Jin
    Yeah, I am popular. I've never
     been without a girlfriend.
[05:50] Jin
    They all break up with me quick, though.
[05:54] Jin
    They pick me for my looks and dump me
    when they realize I'm not what they imagined.
[06:00] Chiaki
    Well, that's because you're a narcissist.
[06:03] Tsuchiya
    Yeah, like the way you're trying to
    get us to feel sorry for you right now.
[06:06] Rei
    All you've got going for you
    are your looks and rich parents.
[06:10] Rudy
    And you're boring.
[06:11] Chiaki
    You think you run everything.
[06:14] Jin
    Damn, guys! That's too mean!
[06:15] Tsuchiya
    Oh, right. Speaking of BL, isn't the
    Ichikawa crew shooting a BL movie?
[06:20] Chiaki
    Yeah, I heard.
[06:21] Chiaki
    Maybe they think an outsider film will give
    them a better shot at the festival prize.
[06:26] Rei
    No, Ichikawa's delicate style would
    fit perfectly with a romantic drama.
[06:31] Rei
    And boys' love is an interesting theme.
[06:33] Rei
    If we aren't careful, we might
    just lose to the second-years.
[06:37] Tsuchiya
    Yeah, people all around school are
    talking about it. Everyone's curious.
[06:42] Chiaki
    And their lead actor is an absolute
    stud. He totally stands out.
[06:47] Rei
    Ichikawa's got enough of a reason to brag.
    He's gotten a lot better over the last year.
[06:53] Jin
    Don't worry about it.
[06:54] others
    Huh?
[06:55] Jin
    Forget about the second-years.
    We'll do our own thing as always.
[06:58] Jin
    We'll shoot our movie. That's how
    we've done it for three years.
[07:03] Jin
    We've got Rei's visual techniques,
    Tsuchiya's camera,
[07:07] Jin
    Chiaki's ambitious assistant directing,
    Rudy's careful archiving,
[07:12] Jin
    and all the club members ready to support me.
[07:16] Jin
    Without them, we'd never finish the film.
[07:21] Jin
    And finally, the president and
    director, screenwriter-slash-star,
[07:25] Jin
    and the sexiest guy at Midorigaoka
    High School, me! Kikuchihara Jin!
[07:32] Jin
    If we work together, nothing can stop us.
    I can't imagine us losing.
[07:36] Tsuchiya
    Yeah, Jin's exactly right.
[07:39] Tsuchiya
    Let's make a good feature for the festival.
[07:41] Chiaki
    Yeah, of course we will.
[07:44] Chiaki
    The third-year crew will start
    filming next week as scheduled.
[07:49] Chiaki
    I'll let the other members
    know all the details.
[07:51] Jin
    Go for it.
[07:52] Chiaki
    Bye-bye! I'll see you at the dorm, though.
[07:54] Tsuchiya
    Well, yeah. We all live there, after all.
[07:59] Rudy
    See you later!
[07:59] Jin
    Yeah, see you later.
[08:02] Jin
    Rei, we should get going.
[08:03] Jin
    Come on, let's take care
    of the rest at the dorm.
[08:06] Rei
    You're a liar, Jin.
[08:08] Jin
    Huh?
[08:09] Rei
    I know you're watching Ichikawa
    closer than anybody else.
[08:15] Jin
    Don't be stupid. Like I said
    a minute ago, he isn't our enemy.
[08:19] Rei
    Maybe you think you're hiding it from me,
    but I can see right through you.
[08:25] Rei
    Ever since Ichikawa joined,
    you've seen him as a rival.
[08:28] Rei
    Almost like you knew
    each other from the start.
[08:32] Rei
    I've never asked you this before, but is
    there something between you and Ichikawa?
[08:38] Jin
    Rei, we've known each other a long
    time, right? Since we were kids.
[08:42] Jin
    You know secrets about me
    that nobody else does.
[08:48] Jin
    I don't want to hide anything from you. So...
[08:51] Jin
    I'll talk about it when I'm able to.
[08:54] Rei
    Got it.
[08:56] Rei
    Anyway, that aside, you're gonna
    have to make up. You and Ichikawa.
[09:01] Jin
    Why do I have to make up with that jerk?
[09:06] Rei
    Oh, come on.
[09:08] Rei
    When we're done making this movie, we're out.
[09:11] Rei
    And then we have to recommend
    a second-year for the next president.
[09:16] Rei
    Ichikawa's the only one who even comes close.
[09:19] Jin
    Actually, I think so, too.
[09:22] Rei
    Make up with him, then.
[09:26] Rei
    If you don't clear the air, it sets
    a bad example for the others.
[09:31] Jin
    You don't have to tell me.
SIGN    Faculty Room
[09:35] teacher
    Kikuchihara, you're in the dorm?
[09:37] teacher
    I heard you don't have a roommate.
[09:40] Jin
    That's right.
[09:40] Jin
    During my first year, my roommate
    left on an ice hockey exchange to Canada.
[09:45] Jin
    Since then, I've been using
    a double room by myself.
[09:48] teacher
    In that case, there's a second-year student
    whose guardian has to be hospitalized,
[09:52] teacher
    and he needs some help.
[09:55] teacher
    Sounds like he was living with his grandpa,
[09:57] teacher
    but his grandpa needs surgery
    and will be in the hospital until fall.
[10:01] teacher
    Don't you think it'd be hard
    for him to get by alone?
[10:03] Jin
    Are you going to put him in my room?
[10:06] teacher
    Yeah. I know you're in different years,
    but I'm sure you'll get along with him.
[10:10] Jin
    All right. I'll take care of it.
[10:13] teacher
    He should be moving in today.
[10:15] Jin
    What's that?
[10:17] Jin
    If you had told me yesterday,
    I could have at least cleaned up a bit!
[10:23] Jin
    I wonder if we're gonna get along.
[10:25] Jin
    I gotta protect my image, and
    come off as cheery and smart as usual.
[10:29] Jin
    I'll have to show him that I take authority
    as a leader but have a kind personality.
[10:34] Jin
    I have to keep playing that role,
    even in the dorm.
[10:38] Jin
    Acting, hiding my real self.
[10:41] Jin
    Maybe that's why my friendships don't last...
    The thought popped into my head.
[10:48] Jin
    Maybe I'm just lonely.
[10:50] Jin
    Anyway, I can't let my
    guard down for a while.
[10:57] Jin
    I've got to put up with this until fall.
[11:03] Jin
    Wha—?
[11:05] Jin
    S-Sorry!
[11:08] Jin
    Wait. What the hell am I hiding from?
    This is my room!
[11:15] Giichi
    I'm good. You can come in.
[11:17] Jin
    I can come in? This is my room...
[11:21] Jin
    I-Ichikawa Giichi?!
[11:25] Rei
    So Ichikawa moved in to your room, Jin?
[11:29] Jin
    How did you know?
    It only happened yesterday.
SIGN    Rich
    Sauce
[11:31] Rei
    I heard from the underclassmen.
    Chiaki and the others know, too.
[11:35] Jin
    Huh...
[11:36] Jin
    Sounds like everyone except me
    gets along with the underclassmen.
[11:41] Jin
    What?
[11:42] Rei
    About Ichikawa. Don't try to take
    care of him. Just leave him alone.
[11:47] Jin
    Fine. Don't be so nosy.
    I don't have that much time, anyway.
[11:52] Rei
    If you say so.
[11:54] Jin
    Look, we're third-years now.
[11:58] Jin
    You think I have time to waste
    on some second-year prick?
[12:02] Jin
    With club activities and exam studying,
    I cannot waste one single second!
[12:07] Jin
    Let's go, Rei.
[12:08] Rei
    All right.
[12:12] Jin
    I wrote down some tips about the dorm.
[12:16] Jin
    Feel free to use it.
[12:19] Rei
    See? You are taking care of him.
[12:22] Jin
    I can't help it! You want me to ignore
    the guy when he's right in front of me?
[12:28] Giichi
    A cheat sheet?
SIGN    Hiiragi House | Survival Tips
    - After the 10 PM curfew, you can get in 
    and out without getting caught through
     the door in the back of the kitchenette.
    - The bath gets crowded with sports
     clubs on Friday nights. Try to go early.
[12:29] Jin
    Huh? Yeah.
[12:31] Jin
    Just some tricks to help you get along here
    that the RA would never tell you.
[12:37] Jin
    This might be none of my business...
[12:40] Jin
    Ichikawa?
[12:41] Giichi
    Hmm?
[12:42] Jin
    Things with your grandpa must be tough.
[12:45] Jin
    If you need any help, feel free
    to ask. I'll do what I can.
[12:49] Jin
    Hmm. Will that tick him off?
[12:52] Jin
    He doesn't seem the type to want help.
[12:54] Jin
    But still, as his senpai,
    I have to at least try.
[13:00] Giichi
    Thank you.
[13:02] Jin
    Whoa. He's suddenly being straight with me.
[13:05] Jin
    Well, it's the least I can do.
[13:08] Jin
    And here, as a sign of friendship.
[13:13] Giichi
    What is this thing?
[13:14] Jin
    A gyoza cushion.
[13:16] Jin
    It's from my family business.
    It's our mascot, Gyozaman.
[13:19] Giichi
    Huh. Sure is a cute little guy.
[13:23] Giichi
    What is your family business?
[13:24] Jin
    We have a butcher shop.
[13:28] Giichi
    Hold on a second.
[13:29] Giichi
    There's a pig inside the gyoza wrapper!
[13:32] Jin
    Yeah. The filling is pork, after all.
[13:36] Giichi
    I guess you're right. How cruel.
[13:40] Jin
    That's right.
[13:42] Jin
    The world is cruel. It's eat or be eaten.
[13:46] Jin
    But isn't that what gives life its sparkle?
[13:52] Giichi
    You're so full of yourself.
[13:56] Jin
    Oh. This is quite peculiar.
[13:58] Jin
    He's actually sort of adorable.
[14:01] Jin
    And here I was convinced
    that he hated my guts.
[14:04] Jin
    Making up might actually
    be easier than I imagined.
[14:08] Jin
    Or so I thought, at first.
[14:11] Chiaki
    Scene one. Let's get rolling. Ready!
[14:15] Rei
    Jin, have any of your face
    tracking markers moved?
[14:19] Jin
    They're good.
[14:21] Giichi
    Grind, grind, grind...
[14:23] Jin
    He's glaring at me with all of the hate
    and resentment in the world.
[14:28] Jin
    Hmm?
[14:29] Mao
    Hey.
[14:29] Giichi
    Screw it up. Screw it up.
    Screw it up. Screw it up.
[14:30] Runa
    Cut it out!
[14:31] Jin
    Now wait one second.
    What's with those hands?
[14:33] Jin
    He's totally trying to curse me!
[14:36] Jin
    Damn you, Ichikawa!
[14:38] Jin
    All yesterday, you were pretending
    to be my darling underclassman!
[14:41] Chiaki
    What, the second-years?
[14:43] Chiaki
    They came to help, so
    we're letting them observe.
[14:47] Chiaki
    If that's a problem, I'll make them leave.
[14:49] Jin
    No, it's fine. Let's give them an eyeful.
[14:52] Jin
    Pay attention, second-years!
[14:54] Jin
    And try to learn something!
[14:57] Chiaki
    Okay, let's do a take.
[14:59] Chiaki
    The big scene when the space
    android Jerome lands on Earth.
[15:03] Chiaki
    Rolling. Ready...
[15:07] Chiaki
    Start!
[15:14] Jin
    When I open the door, is he going to
    come at me like in a horror movie?
[15:22] Giichi
    Oh. Welcome home.
[15:25] Jin
    Thanks.
[15:27] Jin
    So, which is it?
[15:30] Jin
    At school, he acts like
    my rage-filled nemesis.
[15:35] Jin
    But when we're in the room...
[15:37] Jin
    There were snacks in the lounge.
    Maybe someone brought them from home.
[15:42] Giichi
    Thanks. These are really good.
[15:45] Jin
    Yeah. They're from Kyushu.
[15:48] Jin
    You ever been to Kyushu?
[15:49] Giichi
    No.
[15:52] Jin
    His voice is so relaxing.
SIGN    Potato
[15:56] Jin
    Here, Ichikawa just sits next
    to me and chats.
[15:59] Jin
    So which is the real him?
[16:02] Jin
    Does he hate me or not?
[16:06] Chiaki
    So how are things going with Ichikawa?
[16:09] Jin
    Hmm. I guess you could say
    we're getting along.
[16:14] Rei
    But when he comes to the set, he acts like
    he always does. Always glaring and stuff.
[16:20] Jin
    At least he's helping out, though.
[16:24] Jin
    He actually does good work.
[16:26] Tsuchiya
    What do you guys talk about
    when you're alone?
[16:29] Jin
    Well, he's always lying and making up
    excuses for being late with editing.
[16:34] (Flashback) Giichi
    I'm working on it!
[16:35] Runa
    Don't lie to me! I'm sending Mao to check!
[16:42] Jin
    Listening to that always cracks me up.
[16:44] Chiaki
    Sounds like you're getting along fine.
[16:47] Chiaki
    Here I thought you'd be
    at each others' throats.
[16:49] Jin
    I honestly never hated him.
[16:51] Jin
    I have no idea how he really feels, though.
[16:56] Chiaki
    You should just ask him. "Why are you
    always on my case," you know?
[17:05] Jin
    If I could, this would be so much easier.
[17:08] Giichi
    Welcome home.
[17:09] Giichi
    What's up? Why are you staring?
[17:11] Jin
    Oh, it's nothing. What are you reading?
[17:14] Giichi
    Hmm?
[17:14] Giichi
    It's a BL manga!
    My little sister sent it to me.
SIGN    The Nurse's Office
[17:19] Jin
    Huh. So that's a BL?
[17:22] Jin
    I want to read one. Can I borrow a volume?
[17:24] Giichi
    What? Seriously?
[17:27] Jin
    Yeah. This one good?
[17:29] Giichi
    Hold it! Is this your first BL, Kikuchihara?
[17:32] Jin
    That's Kikuchihara-senpai to you. 
    Yeah, my first one.
[17:36] Giichi
    Then this is a great responsibility.
    Hold on...
[17:41] Giichi
    You okay with a dirty one?
[17:43] Jin
    Does it matter?
[17:44] Jin
    I'm good with whatever.
    I'm just gonna take a look.
[17:47] Giichi
    You can't just read whatever, idiot!
    Your first one is important!
[17:51] Giichi
    Maybe you should start
    with a classic, pure romance.
[17:53] Giichi
    Or one where a down-and-out slut gets
    picked up by a top and falls deep in love.
[17:58] Giichi
    Yeah, that's the one.
[18:00] Giichi
    Wait, you like sci-fi. Maybe a fantasy
    setting like the Omegaverse would be okay.
[18:06] Giichi
    I wonder if I boxed those up.
[18:08] Jin
    I don't have the slightest clue
    what you just said.
SIGN    A Provided Lady
[18:12] Giichi
    Here you go. Read this.
[18:13] Giichi
    I thought about it carefully,
    and this is the one for you.
[18:16] Giichi
    The Omega bottom has a teardrop
    birthmark just like yours!
[18:21] Jin
    I-Is that a good thing? All right.
[18:24] Giichi
    The "top" gives it and the "bottom" takes it!
    That's all you need to remember!
[18:29] Jin
    You're too close.
[18:31] Jin
    Are you going to watch over
    my shoulder the whole time?
[18:39] Jin
    I'm so relieved they finally found happiness!
[18:42] Giichi
    Right?
[18:43] Giichi
    The solitary bottom finally finds a
    partner! Now that's a dramatic BL!
[18:47] Giichi
    It ends with nothing but happiness!
    This is why I can't quit BL!
[18:52] Jin
    It seems like a simple tale
    of the bottom's salvation,
[18:55] Jin
    but it's also about the top
    transcending his own turmoil.
[18:59] Jin
    They had to be there for each other.
[19:01] Jin
    By upholding each other,
    they help themselves grow.
[19:05] Giichi
    That's the way! They find salvation in
    each other and it purifies their souls!
[19:10] Giichi
    They were each the missing piece
    that the other lacked! Soulmates!
[19:14] Giichi
    Oh, this one actually has a sequel.
[19:19] Giichi
    What is it?
[19:22] Jin
    I always thought you hated me,
    so it's fun to be able to talk like this.
[19:27] Giichi
    What do you even mean? I don't hate you.
[19:30] Jin
    You expect me to believe that?
[19:32] Jin
    You're always giving me hell
    during club stuff, staring me down.
[19:36] Giichi
    Well, that's because your movies are shit.
[19:39] Jin
    Why, you...
[19:41] Giichi
    We're in the film club, right?
[19:43] Giichi
    I'm only talking about the movies.
    I don't hate you.
[19:47] Jin
    I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not.
[19:50] Jin
    But...
[19:53] Jin
    I guess that's just the way you are.
[19:56] Jin
    But listen up, calling it "shit"
    and "idiotic" and stuff is dumb.
[20:00] Jin
    If you want to criticize my work,
    then use your words.
[20:03] Giichi
    What? But I'm just...
[20:04] Jin
    Stop right there. We aren't at club now.
[20:09] Giichi
    You're right. Okay, where were we?
[20:11] Giichi
    Hold on a sec. I think
    I brought it with me...
[20:15] Jin
    Can I just read this one?
[20:17] Giichi
    Go ahead.
[20:19] Giichi
    That's strange. Did I send it
    back to my sister?
[20:23] Jin
    I don't want to talk
    about movies in our room.
[20:26] Jin
    We don't have a lot of time together.
    There's no point wasting it on fighting.
[20:32] Jin
    Also...
[20:33] Giichi
    Oh! Crap!
[20:35] Jin
    When Ichikawa isn't going on about movies,
    I kind of think... I really think...
[20:36] Giichi
    I'm trying to find one
    and start reading another.
[20:40] Jin
    No, I'm sure...
[20:45] Giichi
    Found it!
[20:47] Giichi
    This one's special because it's dirtier
    and more intense than the first volume.
[20:51] Jin
    That makes it special?
[20:53] Giichi
    Dirtier is better, right?
    Anyway, I like dirty stories.
[20:58] Jin
    O-Oh, yeah?
[21:00] Jin
    I guess, well... maybe I like them, too.
[21:05] Giichi
    So what's your favorite type?
[21:11] Giichi
    I like stories where the bottom
    starts begging for it.
[21:19] Giichi
    Speaking of which,
    didn't we kiss once before?
[21:30] Jin
    A dream? Starting where?
[21:35] Jin
    When Ichikawa isn't going on about movies,
    I kind of think... I really think...
[21:42] Jin
    No, I'm sure that I...
[21:44] Jin
    like him.
[21:49] Jin
    I like him?!

    This is exactly what I dreamed.
[01:56] Giichi
    You fell asleep reading that.

    I'll lend it to you if
    you haven't finished it yet.
[02:03] Giichi
    I've already read it. But it is

[02:13] Giichi
    You're gonna be late to class.
[02:16] Jin
    I'll be fine, Ichikawa Giichi. You go ahead.
[02:19] Giichi
    All right. See you later.
[02:25] Jin
    "See you later," he said. How cute.
[02:28] Jin
    What?
[02:30] Jin
    What, what, what?
    What the hell do I mean, "cute"?!
[02:36] Tsuchiya
    You late? How unusual. It's already noon.
[02:39] Chiaki
    You just got here? Are you sick or something?
[02:42] Jin
    No big deal. I jerked off, fell asleep,
    and when I woke up, I was late.
[02:46] Rei
    What, you having a hard time with something?
[02:49] Chiaki
    He had a hard something.
    That's why he was jerking off.
[02:54] Rei
    Nah, nah. This guy never talks dirty.
    Something's definitely going on.
[02:59] Jin
    You're overthinking it, Rei.
[03:01] Jin
    I'm not some pure, pristine
    superman, you know.
[03:04] Rei
    So there's nothing wrong at all? Really?
[03:07] Jin
    Really nothing.
[03:09] Jin
    I had a dirty dream
    straight out of a BL manga
[03:11] Jin
    and my partner in it was Ichikawa. Yeah...
[03:14] Jin
    because I like Ichikawa.
[03:17] Jin
    And I absolutely do not
    want these guys to find out!
[03:21] Jin
    There is definitely nothing wrong. 
    I'm just trying to concentrate on the shoot!
[03:25] Rei
    Even more suspicious.
[03:27] Jin
    Enough about me. Can I get
    a report from each team?
[03:30] Chiaki
    It's an absolute mess. We're having
    trouble getting everyone together,
[03:34] Chiaki
    so we're running behind on everything.
[03:37] Tsuchiya
    This didn't happen at all last year.
[03:39] Rei
    College entrance exams.
[03:41] Rei
    I'm sure some members are distracted
    because they're stressed about exams.
[03:45] Chiaki
    Yeah, but still, this is the last
    movie we're making together!
[03:49] Chiaki
    I'm sure everyone wants to be a part of it.
    We've done everything together so far.
[03:53] Rei
    Well, that's true.
[03:55] Jin
    Enough, enough. I can't
    handle all the gloomy talk.
[03:59] Jin
    We're a lot more skilled than we were
    last year, so we'll just cover for them.
[04:03] Jin
    Team leaders should inform me
    if there's any changes in their crews.
[04:07] Jin
    Making sure everyone can work
    on the film is my responsibility
[04:11] Jin
    as club president.
[04:13] Tsuchiya
    Okay. Then let's have
    a good shoot after class.
[04:16] Chiaki
    Oh, crap! My class after lunch
    moved to a different room!
[04:20] Jin
    I thought I'd be invincible once I got to
    my third year. That nothing could stop me.
[04:25] Jin
    But now that I'm getting ready
    to hang up my school uniform,
[04:29] Jin
    I feel haunted by
    an anxiety I can't identify.
[04:33] Jin
    I guess there are moments
    when, deep down,
[04:35] Jin
    even "invincible" third-years can
    get jealous of the second-years.

    You don't want them?
[05:06] Jin
    No, I do. Let me see one.
[05:09] Giichi
    Okay. Here's my number one recommendation.
[05:12] Jin
    The art's good and it looks easy to read.
[05:14] Jin
    Oh boy.
[05:16] Giichi
    Stop! Right here!
[05:17] Giichi
    This line hits so hard!
[05:18] Jin
    You probably don't even realize it, but
    you're making me really uncomfortable.
[05:20] Jin
    Are you trying to spoil
    the whole thing for me?
[05:24] Jin
    Let's see. "Damn it. You can be
    so stubborn sometimes."
[05:29] Jin
    That sounds off.
[05:30] Jin
    "Damn it! You can be so stubborn sometimes!
[05:35] Jin
    I know you keep your feelings hidden,
[05:37] Jin
    but right now you need to let me hold you.
[05:41] Jin
    Close your eyes and listen to my heartbeat."
[05:46] Jin
    The words do create a nice sense of rhythm.
[05:49] Jin
    Huh?
[05:54] Jin
    Wh-What's the matter, Ichikawa Giichi?
[05:57] Giichi
    Why'd you have to read that whole part?
[05:59] Giichi
    I wasn't ready for that.
[06:02] Jin
    Could that possibly mean
[06:05] Jin
    that my performance was
    so convincing it made you blush?
[06:09] Jin
    That I read it so well you felt
    like I was really coming on to you,
[06:14] Jin
    and you got embarrassed?
[06:15] Giichi
    Sh-Shut up, man!
[06:17] Jin
    You've... got to be kidding me!
[06:20] Jin
    Th-That's so damn adorable, Ichikawa Giichi!
[06:23] Jin
    Let me see your face right now!
[06:25] Giichi
    Seriously, shut up! You're too loud!
[06:28] Jin
    I see, I see.
[06:29] Jin
    So the superstar of the film club can,
    in fact, enchant Ichikawa Giichi.
[06:35] Giichi
    Would you shut up and leave me alone?
    And quit calling yourself a superstar!
[06:40] Jin
    I meant it when I said
    you're adorable, though.
[06:43] Jin
    You used to always look so grumpy.
[06:45] Jin
    I'm glad I've been able to see other sides
    of you since we started living together.
[06:50] Jin
    You can get so quiet when you're alone.
    And you're always reading, right?
[06:58] Jin
    You actually greet me with a smile.
[07:01] Jin
    Sometimes you can't stop
    talking about your interests.
[07:04] Jin
    I never would've known that person
    if we hadn't lived together.
[07:08] Jin
    So I do like you. You are
    really cute in some ways.
[07:13] Giichi
    Would you quit calling me "cute"
    with a straight face like that?
[07:18] Giichi
    It's embarrassing, you arrogant jerk!
[07:20] Jin
    But I'm serious.
[07:23] Jin
    Oh, shoot. I should've sweet-talked him more.
[07:27] Jin
    I should've gazed more
    at his blushing, red face.
[07:32] Jin
    Oh. Is that why?
[07:34] Jin
    Is this love?
[07:36] Jin
    Yes. The king of the film club
    found his first love.
[07:41] Jin
    And it was his rival. His prospects
    seemed grim. Perhaps it was not to be.
[07:47] Jin
    But when the two were alone... surprise,
    surprise... the mood would suddenly change.
[07:51] Jin
    However, dear king, you mustn't forget
[07:54] Jin
    that your partner is a monster, a film freak,
[07:57] Jin
    and that you live in very different worlds.
[08:03] Jin
    I'm back.
[08:07] Giichi
    Then I've gotta cut right here...
[08:09] Jin
    This is the first time he hasn't responded.
    He must be really concentrating.
[08:16] Jin
    So much that he can't hear my voice.
[08:19] Jin
    It's almost scary.
[08:25] Jin
    Chiaki? Tobe?
[08:28] Jin
    What's going on?
[08:29] Chiaki
    We've got to talk.
[08:31] Jin
    Huh?
[08:32] Jin
    You want to quit the club?
[08:34] Jin
    Wait a minute. Do really have to quit?
[08:38] Jin
    Your part is really important this time.
[08:41] Chiaki
    The partner that Jerome gets separated
    from on the journey, Space Panther Sigma.
[08:46] Chiaki
    The four-legged walking rehearsals,
    also the Sigma costume...
[08:49] Chiaki
    We've designed all of it
    to fit Tobe's body type.
[08:53] Chiaki
    If we change now, it would really
    throw a wrench into the production.
[08:56] Jin
    But why? You requested
    the role yourself, didn't you?
[09:02] Tobe
    Because at this rate, I won't get
    into the college I want to go to.
[09:07] Jin
    I get it. Yeah, that is stressful.
[09:09] Jin
    But can you still try to play a small part?
[09:13] Jin
    We can split up the rest of your work, so
    as long as you can act in the Sigma scenes...
[09:18] Tobe
    There's no way!
[09:19] Tobe
    You want me to waste all my energy on club
    stuff that won't help me get into college?
[09:24] Tobe
    Why are we even doing this?
    This whole thing is so stupid.
[09:28] Jin
    All right. Then can you give us a day?
[09:31] Jin
    We'll rearrange the schedule so you
    can stay as involved as possible.
[09:35] Giichi
    Hey. You over there!
[09:38] Giichi
    You sound really serious about
    your college worries and all that,
[09:41] Giichi
    but these guys have entrance exams, too.
[09:44] Chiaki
    Oh, you're right.
[09:46] Chiaki
    Huh?
[09:48] Chiaki
    Hey! Stop it!
[09:49] Giichi
    The guys who have to cover for you
    are all studying for exams!
[09:53] Giichi
    They're all third-years!
[09:55] Giichi
    You think you're the only one who's
    got better things to do right now?!
[09:58] Jin
    Ichikawa! Would you shut up?
[10:00] Giichi
    No, I will not shut up.
[10:02] Giichi
    Do you even hear yourself?
    You call yourself a director?!
[10:05] Giichi
    Why try to keep this quitter from leaving?!
[10:08] Giichi
    He probably just doesn't want to
    go crawling around on all fours
[10:11] Giichi
    in some stupid costume in front of a camera.
    That's why he's running away!
[10:15] Giichi
    You must be able to realize that.
    Don't cover for a guy like this!
[10:19] Giichi
    If you can't make the right call,
    you're no director—
[10:21] Jin
    Shut the hell up!
[10:30] Jin
    Sorry for yelling like that.
    Let's talk about it more tomorrow.
[10:34] Jin
    It'll be roll call soon. You should get back.
[10:37] Chiaki
    Let's go, Tobe.
[10:38] Chiaki
    Tomorrow, then.
[10:41] Giichi
    I'm not wrong, though.
[10:43] Jin
    I know. You're always right, Ichikawa.
[10:47] Jin
    I'm no director. I'm just
    a plain old club president.
[10:51] Jin
    I keep an eye on everyone and
    run around trying to put out fires.
[10:56] Jin
    I've even thought about quitting myself.
    That's why I can't really blame Tobe.
[11:02] Jin
    There's no way Ichikawa
    would understand how I feel.
[11:05] Jin
    He's dreamed of becoming a movie
    director ever since he was a kid.
[11:09] Jin
    There's no way Ichikawa would get it.
[11:13] Jin
    But it's almost over, anyway.
    Once I graduate, I'm quitting filmmaking.
[11:18] Giichi
    You can't—
[11:20] Jin
    Enough, enough.
    No more film talk in this room.
[11:24] Jin
    Promise me that, Ichikawa Giichi.
[11:27] Giichi
    Why?
[11:28] Jin
    First, there's no point lecturing me on film
    theory when I don't plan to continue in film.
[11:33] Jin
    That, and I want us to get along.
[11:38] Jin
    Once movies are out of the picture,
[11:40] Jin
    we should be able to enjoy
    our time together in this room.
[11:44] Jin
    Because I...
[11:47] Jin
    I like you, Ichikawa Giichi.
[11:53] Giichi
    In the previous episode
    and part A of this episode,
[11:56] Giichi
    I became roommates with my nemesis,
    third-year student Kikuchihara Jin,
[12:00] Giichi
    and we bonded over BL manga.
[12:03] Giichi
    Kikuchihara seems like someone
    I should keep an eye on.
[12:06] Giichi
    "I've got to take responsibility and
    turn him into a proper boys' love fan!"
[12:10] Giichi
    ...is what I was thinking, when he
    suddenly confessed his love for me!
[12:14] Giichi
    What kind of BL manga does that?!
[12:17] Jin
    Ichikawa.
[12:25] Jin
    Sorry. I'll go cool my head.
[12:31] Giichi
    What... What the hell is happening?!
[12:34] Giichi
    What could this mean? Does he want us
    to get into a BL-type relationship?
[12:39] Runa
    Mao's asking how many minutes
    we're shooting with each person.
[12:42] Runa
    Hey, wake up.

[12:54] Giichi
    No way! Those are both
    totally different people!
[12:57] Giichi
    Talk about going out of character.
[12:59] Runa
    So, kick him out?
[13:00] Mao & Teru
    Mm-hmm.
[13:01] Giichi
    He looks like he'd be a super-boyfriend,
    yet the reality is anything but.
[13:05] Giichi
    I realized after I moved in
    that he's actually a total mess.
[13:08] Giichi
    He's got such harsh mood swings. One second
    clammed up, freaking out the next...
[13:14] Giichi
    or getting angry.
[13:17] Giichi
    Why am I like this? I always
    blurt out whatever is on my mind.
[13:22] Giichi
    Sometimes it's best not to speak the truth.
[13:25] Mao & Teru
    Whaddya know?
[13:27] Runa
    Now, all of a sudden?
    You were worried about that?
[13:29] Giichi
    Always worried. Totally worried.
[13:32] Giichi
    But I'll still never regret
    or retract a thing I said!
[13:34] Runa
    And you'll never be able to
    repair a friendship like that.
[13:37] Runa
    So what's the point of worrying about it?
[13:40] Giichi
    I just want to avoid burning any bridges.
[13:43] Mao
    B-But you're the one
    who always lights the fire.
[13:46] Teru
    If you want to stay friends
    with someone, just apologize.
[13:51] Runa & Mao
    Teru spoke!
[13:52] Giichi
    Whoa!
[13:54] Giichi
    I don't think I was wrong. But still...
[13:58] Giichi
    Kikuchihara was looking out
    for a member, and I tore him down.
[14:03] Giichi
    That's something that deserves an apology.
[14:07] Jin
    Welcome home. I've been
    waiting for you, Ichikawa Giichi.
[14:11] Giichi
    Th-Thanks. You were here waiting for me?
SIGN    The Right Time

[14:15] Jin
    Give me the next volume.
    I can't wait to read it.
[14:18] Giichi
    O-Oh.
[14:20] Giichi
    I have to apologize.
[14:22] Giichi
    So there are four volumes so far.
    I'll leave them here.
[14:26] Jin
    Thanks.
[14:27] Giichi
    I have to apologize. We have to talk.
[14:31] Giichi
    Talk about the film club's movie.
[14:35] Giichi
    Hey, Kikuchihara—
[14:35] Jin
    The bottom with the glasses in this
    manga reminds me of you, Ichikawa.
[14:40] Jin
    He's cute.
[14:41] Giichi
    Huh?!
[14:44] Jin
    He's cute.
[14:46] Giichi
    Hey! Quit saying that! I'm nothing like him!
[14:50] Jin
    Really? But you're both uptight,
[14:52] Jin
    and the way you get mad when
    you're nervous is exactly like him.
[14:56] Jin
    During the dirty scenes, I imagine
    that it's you instead. Uh-huh.
[15:02] Giichi
    Y-You shouldn't read BL
    for such impure reasons!
[15:04] Jin
    What's impure about reading something
    because a character reminds me of someone?
[15:10] Giichi
    Think what you want, but don't say it
    out loud. Keep it to yourself.
[15:13] Jin
    How could I keep this to myself?
[15:16] Jin
    I already told you my feelings.
    Of course I'm going to come on to you.
[15:19] Jin
    Whenever you drop your guard,
    I'm gonna hit on you.
[15:24] Jin
    Anyway, can I put my head on your lap?
[15:26] Giichi
    Th-This guy!
[15:28] Giichi
    I was careless. Careless!
[15:31] Giichi
    I forgot that he's a total playboy!
[15:34] Giichi
    If I'm not careful, I'll get
    swept away by his advances!
[15:38] Runa
    Can I knock some sense
    into him? It's cool, right?
[15:41] Mao
    Mm-hmm.
[15:43] Runa
    Jeez.
[15:44] Giichi
    Damn it.
[15:46] Giichi
    This seriously pisses me off.
[15:48] Giichi
    All this stuff about falling for me is just
    a smokescreen to keep us from talking shop.
[15:56] Giichi
    You coward, Kikuchihara.
[15:59] Rei
    That's what you call him now? At least
    add "president" or "senpai" or something.
[16:05] Rei
    Yo.
[16:06] Member B
    No way! Inaba-senpai?!
[16:08] Member A
    What? He's here?!
[16:11] Mao
    This is unusual. What brings you here?
[16:13] Rei
    Reconnaissance mission.
    What are you guys shooting?
[16:16] Runa
    That's our secret.
[16:18] Giichi
    Hey! Kick him out. This guy's a spy!
[16:21] Member B
    Is that something for the festival?
[16:22] Rei
    Yeah. Wanna see?
[16:24] Member A
    I'd love to see it!
[16:25] Rei
    You can mess with it if you want.
[16:27] all
    Whoa!
[16:28] Member A
    Insane!
[16:31] Member
    They're putting this in the movie?
[16:32] Rei
    So, you were fighting again?
[16:34] Giichi
    This guy is such a pain.
[16:37] Rei
    Tobe decided to stay in the film club.
[16:40] Rei
    Jin said Tobe started going out with
    a girl from his cram school. Just recently.
[16:46] Rei
    We'll give him a new role, a small one,
    with a fancy costume and good close-ups,
[16:51] Rei
    and he'll stay on, Jin said.
[16:54] Rei
    Want some gum?
[16:55] Giichi
    So he just wanted to show off
    to his girlfriend? How stupid.
[16:59] Giichi
    That's going to mean more
     work for everyone else.
[17:01] Rei
    Well, yeah. Chiaki and I do
    actually have more to do now.
[17:05] Rei
    But still, Jin... the director
    made the right decision.
[17:10] Rei
    We should be able to finish the film
    without losing anyone.
[17:13] Rei
    In the Kikuchihara crew, the director
    watches out for all of the members.
[17:18] Rei
    People say that Jin's
    confident and a showoff,
[17:22] Rei
    but he's actually really
    considerate and kind of shy.
[17:26] Rei
    He isn't cut out to be a director. But, I think...
[17:30] Rei
    that's exactly why we believe
    in him and follow his lead.
[17:34] Rei
    And you next year? You think those guys will
    follow you all the way, Director Ichikawa?
[17:41] Rei
    Our director is the best director we have.
    I'd appreciate it if you lay off him some.
[17:47] Giichi
    I don't think you guys
    understand Kikuchihara at all!
[17:52] Rei
    What the hell, Ichikawa? And you do?
[17:54] Giichi
    I read his script!
[17:57] Giichi
    The first draft that nobody had touched.
    It was really, really good.
[17:57] [SONG] text
    Jin 
    To the edge 
    Then, sinking 
    The orange-colored sunset 
    glowing.
    Jin stands still. 
    The sea breeze gently rustles Jin's hair 
    Jin "I..." 
    Jin relaxes his grip 
    drops the knife. 
    As if beckoned, Jin takes one step. Then another. 
    Leaving his footprints in the sand 
    Jin "I, I... !" 
    From the corner of Jin's eye
    come.
    Tears rolling down his cheeks catch
[18:02] Giichi
    The last scene, alone at
    the beach, is really moving.
[18:06] Giichi
    When I read that script, I could visualize
    the picture that Kikuchihara wanted to show.
[18:11] Giichi
    But after the second and
    third draft, it just got worse!
[18:15] Giichi
    There can only be one reason.
[18:16] Giichi
    Because you other members forced all
    of your dumb ideas into the story, right?
[18:20] Giichi
    He may act like a jerk, but he isn't stupid.
[18:23] Giichi
    How do you think he felt watching his script
    get chewed into pieces like that?
[18:28] Giichi
    Can you even imagine what that feels like?
[18:30] Giichi
    Of course they can't.
[18:32] Giichi
    Cutting scene after scene, rewriting lines,
    changing the story, and having to accept it?
[18:38] Giichi
    You have no allies when that happens.
    A director is always alone.
[18:43] Giichi
    Even if you have a crew,
    a ship only has one captain.
[18:47] Giichi
    I do understand.
    I'm a director just like him.
[18:50] Giichi
    Only directors can understand
    other directors!
[18:54] Giichi
    It's your guys' fault he's so spread thin
    that he can't express himself fully!
[18:58] Giichi
    Why won't you let him do his work freely?
[19:00] Giichi
    The real Kikuchihara
    is naive, romantic, kind...
[19:04] Giichi
    and... that's the kind of
    movie he could make.
[19:09] Rei
    Okay. I get it now.
[19:13] Rei
    Is that right? Is that how you've
    felt about Jin all this time?
[19:18] Rei
    Wow, seriously? And here I thought
    it was totally one-sided.
[19:23] Rei
    You should tell him.
[19:25] Giichi
    Huh? How much do you know?
[19:28] Rei
    That he would be really happy to find out
    that you respect him as a director.
[19:33] Giichi
    Oh, that?
[19:35] Rei
    Hmm?
[19:37] Rei
    Well anyway, I don't think the problem
    is that he isn't free enough.
[19:41] Rei
    He is our director, after all.
[19:45] Giichi
    And that's your parting shot?
    How aggravating.
[19:50] Giichi
    Anyway, he seems to be
    right at home here on my bed.
[19:56] Giichi
    When we were shooting today,
    Inaba showed up.
[20:00] Giichi
    Hey, I said I saw Inaba after class.
[20:05] Giichi
    Pass me that volume 2.
[20:08] Jin
    Here.
[20:09] Giichi
    So you did hear me!
[20:12] Jin
    That hurts.
[20:13] Jin
    Did he say something?
[20:15] Giichi
    He told me to leave you alone.
[20:17] Giichi
    He doesn't want me getting
    in Director Kikuchihara's way.
[20:21] Giichi
    Come on, turn around!
[20:25] Giichi
    Do you hate it that much
    when I talk about movies?
[20:29] Giichi
    Are you going to just keep your back
    turned and pretend you can't hear me?
[20:33] Giichi
    That Tobe guy stayed in the club, huh?
[20:36] Giichi
    So you let another member
    mess up your script again?
[20:39] Giichi
    Look at me.
[20:40] Giichi
    That isn't right! A director has to
    be more selfish. Even bossy, sometimes.
[20:44] Giichi
    When you don't look me
    in the eye, I feel so alone.
[20:50] Jin
    Hey.
[20:52] Jin
    What is this?
[20:54] Giichi
    No, I just... wasn't thinking.
[20:58] Jin
    You realize stuff like this
    really turns me on, right?
[21:06] Giichi
    He looked at me.
[21:07] Giichi
    Hey! Wait!
[21:09] Jin
    I have to be selfish and bossy
    sometimes, right?
[21:12] Giichi
    I meant as a director—
[21:15] Giichi
    Damn it! This is so aggravating!
[21:17] Giichi
    But I don't hate it at all.
    His body heat feels so good!
[21:23] Giichi
    I feel like I'm getting carried away.
[21:25] Giichi
    No, I want to talk to you!
[21:29] Giichi
    About something serious, deep in my heart.
[21:32] Giichi
    I want to talk!
[21:34] Jin
    Ichikawa.
[21:38] Jin
    You're crying?
[21:40] Chiaki
    Jin? Got a second? You asleep?
[21:45] Jin
    Damn it.
[21:46] Jin
    I'm coming.
[21:49] Jin
    What's up?
[21:51] Chiaki
    Listen...
[21:52] Jin
    Let's step outside.

[02:01] Jin
    So of course I, Kikuchihara Jin, was

[02:07] Jin
    and I quickly grew into a nice, rotund boy.
[02:09] Jin
    Rei was my childhood friend.
[02:11] Jin
    Our families were close, and he's the only
    friend I have who knew me back then.
[02:16] Jin
    Back in those days, I could pretty much
    do anything I set my mind to.
[02:19] Jin
    As a mild-mannered rich kid,
    I had a few friends, too.
[02:23] Friend A
    This is so relaxing!
[02:24] Jin
    Things weren't absolutely perfect,
    but they weren't bad. I was doing okay.
[02:25] Friend B
    What a nice smell! Gyoza?
[02:29] Jin
    So I was more or less pretty soft
    on other people and soft on myself.
[02:33] Jin
    It wasn't that I had no worries, though.
[02:36] Boy Jin
    I wish I wasn't so chubby.
[02:39] Boy Jin
    I'm always trying to please other people.
    But I want them to like me.
[02:44] Boy Jin
    Will I really take over

    It felt like my path was laid out before me

[03:10] Jin
    That awards ceremony is
    where I first met Ichikawa Giichi.
[03:17] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    Um, would this help?
[03:21] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    No! It's unnecessary!
[03:24] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    Um, why are you crying so much?
[03:27] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    Because my work didn't get recognized
    and I feel so worthless.
[03:31] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    But if you're sitting next to me,
    doesn't that mean you got first prize?
[03:36] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    The very top award?
[03:39] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    This is my very first work and I was
    planning to win an Academy Award with it.
[03:44] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    Huh?
[03:45] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    So then, why...
[03:47] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    do I have to settle for
    this pathetic kids' award?
[03:51] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    It's unthinkable! I feel so worthless!
[03:53] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    Did I really do my best? Is there
    anything else I could have done?
[03:58] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    I just want to go home. I want to go
    home now and start making the next one.
[04:04] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    What? Quit staring at me!
[04:07] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    Oh, sure...
[04:09] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    You really are hard on yourself.
    I'm impressed.
[04:13] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    But you know what? At least
    it resonated with the judges!
[04:19] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    So it wasn't all for nothing!
[04:21] (Flashback) Boy Jin
    Huh?
[04:22] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    Yes, I am very hard on myself!
[04:25] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    But the problem is the people in the world
    who won't recognize my talent!
[04:30] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    Getting a stupid kiddie prize like this...
[04:32] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    It's an embarrassment!
    Nothing but an embarrassment!
[04:35] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    And what the hell's your problem?!
    You're grinning like an idiot!
[04:38] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    You think you're in a position
    to cheer me up?!
[04:41] (Flashback) Boy Giichi
    If you're that content in second place,

    Ichikawa Giichi-kun. Congratulations.
[04:52] Jin
    During the awards ceremony,
    Ichikawa seemed totally disappointed.
[04:56] Jin
    He never even smiled.
[04:59] Jin
    At the end of the ceremony, they
    screened Ichikawa's award-winning work.
[05:04] Jin
    It was a short movie. Lovely and quiet.
[05:09] Boy Jin
    Wow! It's a movie!
[05:14] Boy Jin
    A movie...
[05:19] Giichi
    Hey, Kikuchihara.
[05:21] Giichi
    Is this you?
[05:25] Jin
    Yeah, it is.
[05:28] Giichi
    Why didn't you tell me that we'd met before?
[05:31] Jin
    Did I ever have a chance to?
[05:34] Jin
    And I was sure you'd forgotten, anyway.
[05:36] Jin
    Do you remember the character I won
    an award for? His name was Gyozaman.
[05:43] Jin
    It sure was a surprise when
    you joined the club, though.
[05:47] Jin
    You hadn't changed at all. Not one bit.
[05:50] Jin
    You were still a movie freak. Confident,
    moody, and really tough on yourself.
[05:56] Jin
    And tough on everyone else.
    You hadn't changed.
[06:00] Jin
    Actually, maybe you were even more
    of a freak than before.
[06:03] Giichi
    Shut up! What about you, then?
[06:06] Jin
    Me? Well, I lost a lot of weight
    after this and got a lot taller.
SIGN    Youth Art Contest Awards
[06:12] Jin
    And my personality, well...
[06:13] Jin
    no, I haven't changed, either.
[06:18] Jin
    I haven't changed. Still soft
    on others and soft on myself.
[06:22] Jin
    Bending over backwards to be nice
    to make people like me.
[06:27] Jin
    That's how I've always been.
[06:29] Jin
    I've always been following the same path.
[06:32] Jin
    I was also still obsessed with you.
    That hadn't changed, either.
[06:36] Jin
    I mean, if I hadn't seen
    your movie, Ichikawa, then...
[06:40] Jin
    I wouldn't even be here.
[06:44] Giichi
    Then what? Come out and say it.
[06:48] Jin
    It's nothing. Never mind.
[06:51] Jin
    If we don't get going, we're gonna be late.

    Hold on! We aren't done talking!

    Hey, let go of m—
[07:01] Giichi
    That's to get you back for yesterday.
[07:03] Giichi
    Damn it, why do I always... No, it's fine.
[07:07] Giichi
    I've got you now. Look me in the eye
    and talk to me, right now,
[07:11] Giichi
    about movies and about yourself!
[07:14] Giichi
    Don't you dare run. Don't you dare
    after you said you like me.
[07:19] Giichi
    And then maybe I'll be
    able to respond properly.
[07:23] Jin
    You want to give me a response?
[07:26] Jin
    Does that mean I have a chance?
[07:29] Giichi
    Yeah, it does. I've been
    thinking about it a lot.
[07:34] Jin
    Tonight, wanna watch a movie together?
[07:38] Jin
    We can talk then. I'll set things up
    so that nobody bothers us.
[07:43] Jin
    Wait for me here.
[07:45] Jin
    But head's up, I'm gonna
    make another pass at you.
[07:49] Giichi
    I know. I'm actually counting on it.
[07:53] Giichi
    Why am I like this?
[07:56] Jin
    What was that?
[07:57] Jin
    I-I'll get home as early as I can!
[08:00] Giichi
    Quit acting like an excited kid, you fool!
[08:03] Jin
    On this day,
[08:05] Jin
    I was in perfect form all around.
    The best I'd ever been.
[08:09] Jin
    I put so much emotion into reading
    in English, it made the teacher cry.
[08:13] Jin
    In my karaage lunch set, I got
    three extra pieces of karaage.

[08:17] Jin
    I got love letters from three first-years.

    We even caught up from being
    three days behind on filming.
[08:25] Jin
    Incidentally, this thing
[08:26] Jin
    will become this.
[08:28] Jin
    You survived? My partner, Sigma!
[08:33] Jin
    Yes. Let's return to our planet.
[08:37] Jin
    The Earth will be safe now.
[08:40] Jin
    The whole crew lost it.
[08:42] Chiaki
    Jin, you're the best!
[08:44] Tsuchiya
    Yo, best actor!
[08:45] Jin
    Sorry, guys. But today I'm only
    warming up for what's coming later.
[08:51] Jin
    I ate dinner, took a bath, brushed my teeth,
[08:56] Jin
    then I sent everyone else packing.
[08:58] Jin
    My preparation was flawless.
    I left nothing to chance.
[09:03] Jin
    But when things finally got rolling,
    I didn't have a script.
[09:09] Jin
    What should I do?
[09:11] Giichi
    The lead actor looks a little like you.
[09:14] Jin
    Yeah? But didn't he suddenly
    die in a car accident?
[09:18] Jin
    What did you want to talk about?
    What were you hoping for?
[09:23] Jin
    Come on, Director, what line do I
    have to say to make you look at me?
[09:28] Giichi
    I want to hear about the real you.
[09:33] Giichi
    I want you to tell me your weaknesses, too.
[09:37] Jin
    Your wish is my command.
    Whatever you want to know.
[09:40] Giichi
    As the director, how do you feel about
    the other members bossing you around?
[09:44] Giichi
    That must be really limiting. Don't you
    want to make movies your own way?
[09:50] Jin
    I'm more worried about whether everyone
    else on the team is satisfied or not.
[09:54] Jin
    I always want all of the
    club members to have fun.
[09:58] Jin
    I've never felt like that was
    limiting. Not even once.
[10:01] Giichi
    Are you going to quit making
    movies once you graduate?
[10:05] Jin
    Well, I'm not the only one.
[10:06] Jin
    Chiaki's going to go to fashion school.
[10:09] Jin
    Tsuchiya's going to try to
    make it as a photojournalist.
[10:12] Jin
    Rudy's going back to his country.
[10:15] Jin
    I want to study to continue
    the family business.
[10:18] Jin
    Rei might be the only one who actually
    wants to work in the movies.
[10:22] Giichi
    You can still keep doing it
    if you find new people.
[10:25] Giichi
    There's no reason for you to quit.
[10:27] Jin
    What? Ichikawa, are you saying
    you want me to continue?
[10:30] Giichi
    What's so funny?
[10:32] Jin
    Well, I mean, you say
    everything I do is shit, so...
[10:36] Jin
    But I know I can't become
    a director, so I won't try.
[10:40] Jin
    I know the limits of my abilities.
[10:43] Jin
    This isn't me giving up.
    I'm just accepting reality.
[10:46] Jin
    But to be honest, I was jealous of your
    talent, Ichikawa. Always have been.
[10:52] Jin
    Is he going to be mad at me
    for taking it too lightly?
[10:57] Giichi
    I see, I see.
[10:58] Jin
    No... he's happy about it?
[11:00] Giichi
    Can I ask you one more question?
[11:02] Jin
    Ask as many as you want.
[11:06] Giichi
    Do you really like movies?
[11:13] Jin
    I really do.
[11:15] Jin
    Of course I do. Or I wouldn't
    have done this for three years.
[11:21] Giichi
    I knew it.
[11:23] Giichi
    I could see it in your eyes.
[11:26] Jin
    Ichikawa...
[11:42] Giichi
    So the time has finally come for us to make
    practical use of our hard-earned knowledge.
[11:47] Jin
    You mean knowledge from BL manga?
[11:50] Jin
    Then just stop talking.
[11:51] Giichi
    I will not! This is not an act
    one typically performs in silence!
[11:56] Giichi
    We've got to talk dirty and say all th—
[11:58] Jin
    What I mean...
[12:00] Jin
    is this way you ramble
    to cover up your anxiety.
[12:04] Jin
    It's obvious to me that
    you're nervous, Ichikawa.
[12:07] Jin
    You made me tell you about my weaknesses.
[12:12] Jin
    So this time, I want you to show me yours.
[12:15] Jin
    Don't hide anything from me.
[12:17] Giichi
    I'm not used to this. It's my first time.
[12:22] Giichi
    It's my first time, but I'm so excited.
[12:24] Giichi
    My heart's pounding so hard,
    I think I'm gonna go crazy.
[12:29] Jin
    Ichikawa.
[12:31] Jin
    You'll be fine. I don't mind
    if you go a little crazy.
[12:38] Jin
    I've never felt anything
    quite like this in my life.
[12:42] Jin
    That's how excited I am right now.
[12:46] Giichi
    N-No, wait. If you keep
    touching me, I'm gonna...
[12:51] Jin
    Should I stop?
[12:52] Giichi
    I don't know. I'm shivering.
[13:00] Jin
    How about a kiss?
[13:03] Giichi
    His lips are so soft.
[13:06] Giichi
    Quit worrying about me.
[13:10] Giichi
    Do whatever you want to me, Jin.
[13:14] Jin
    Yeah, the way you can say that is so cool.
    I could never be like that.
[13:22] Jin
    I like you.
[13:24] Jin
    I like you, Ichikawa.
[13:29] Jin
    The movie wasn't over yet, was it?
[13:32] Giichi
    Yeah. I picked a long one.
[13:35] Giichi
    I would've gotten nervous if the sound
    turned off partway through.
[13:42] Jin
    Hey, how long until the credits?
[13:45] Giichi
    About thirty minutes.
[13:48] Jin
    You knew we weren't done yet, right?

[14:11] Runa
    Hey, what's wrong? Hurt your back?
[14:13] Mao
    Hmm.
[14:14] Giichi
    It's nothing. I'm still just
    not used to it yet.
[14:19] Giichi
    Damn it. Why am I like this?
[14:21] Runa
    Today we start prepping for the
    school festival. You gonna be okay?
[14:24] Giichi
    The festival doesn't matter one damn bit!
[14:27] Giichi
    I only care about our movie beating
    the third-years in the school contest.
[14:30] Giichi
    That's all I'm focused on.
    I'm praying for their tears of defeat!
[14:35] Giichi
    Ow!
[14:35] Mao
    Yes, it does matter.
[14:37] Mao
    Get it together so you don't
     screw it up for our class.
[14:40] Runa
    I'm warning you. If you do anything to damage
    the film club's rep, I'll never forgive you.
[14:46] Chiaki
    So Ichikawa's grandpa
    got through surgery okay?
[14:50] Jin
    Yeah. It sounds like rehab
    will take some time.
[14:54] Jin
    But he should be coming home as planned.
[14:56] Tsuchiya
    Too bad, now that Ichikawa's finally
    used to things. He's gonna move, right?
[15:00] Chiaki
    That's gotta be lonely.
[15:04] Jin
    I guess so.
[15:06] Jin
    Soon, Ichikawa will move out
    and return to his old life.
[15:11] Jin
    These days, he sometimes stops what
    he's doing and gets lost in thought.
[15:15] Jin
    It's hard to talk to him like that.
    I can't bring myself to ask him what's wrong.
[15:21] Jin
    This distance between us keeps bugging me.
[15:26] Rei
    Everyone over here.
    I want you to check the last scene.
[15:31] Jin
    People of Earth.
[15:32] (Flashback) Jin
    We will most likely never meet again.
    Live long and prosper!
[15:37] (Flashback) Member A
    Jin, thanks for these three years!
[15:41] (Flashback) Member B
    The only reason I could stay in
    and didn't quit is you, Jin!
[15:45] Jin
    While everyone was crying,
    I stayed very calm.
[15:46] Member C
    I'm so glad you were the president!
[15:49] Jin
    "Can we use this take? Or should we reshoot?"
[15:52] Jin
    "Also, are they really
    that glad I was president?"
[15:57] Jin
    All these thoughts raced through my head.
[15:59] Chiaki
    I cry every time I watch this scene!
[16:02] Tsuchiya
    It was amazing. Everyone started bawling.
[16:05] Rei
    It is a great scene. Jin's ad-libbing
    totally carried that long take.
[16:11] Jin
    I guess so.
[16:13] Jin
    As I thought to myself,
[16:14] Jin
    we'll all take our entrance exams,
    graduate, and eventually grow up.
[16:19] Jin
    Will we look back
    on these days with fondness?
[16:23] Jin
    Will we regret always flailing in confusion
    and wasting our time in high school?
[16:29] Jin
    Or will we idealize those memories
    like some kind of inspiring story?
[16:33] Jin
    How much of this will we all
    remember anyway? I don't know.
[16:38] Jin
    Even as graduation approaches, I still
    don't feel like my feet are on the ground.
[16:45] Jin
    At the very least, I want my memory
    emblazoned on the heart of the person I like.
[16:51] Jin
    Even after I'm long gone.
[16:55] Jin
    Ichikawa and I sometimes arrange
    secret meetings at school.
[16:59] Jin
    Sorry. Were you waiting long?
[17:01] Giichi
    No, not that long.
[17:04] Jin
    If we go back to the room,
    we can be alone together.
[17:07] Jin
    If we sneak around on campus,
    we can be alone together.
[17:11] Jin
    Either one's fine with me. I just want to
    spend more time with him before graduation.
[17:15] Jin
    That's how I feel, at least.
[17:18] Jin
    And this one?
[17:19] Giichi
    Seen it. But I haven't seen the sequel.
[17:21] Jin
    You haven't? Part 2 is the good one.
[17:24] Jin
    That's what we're watching today, then.
[17:27] Giichi
    Don't you have cram school?
[17:29] Jin
    Not today. I'm still only going twice a week.
[17:33] Jin
    I'm gonna add some summer classes, though.
[17:35] Jin
    Oh. There's a meeting about the festival
    after class, so I'll be a little late.
[17:41] Giichi
    Okay.
[17:44] Jin
    There it is. That distance between us again.
[17:47] Jin
    We're lovers, so why won't he talk to me?
[17:51] Jin
    Isn't he satisfied with me?
[17:53] Jin
    Oh! Now that I think about it,
    Ichikawa's never told me he likes me.
[17:58] Jin
    Does he even share my feelings?
[18:02] Jin
    Ichikawa.
[18:10] Jin
    Listen, I want you to tell me.
    Do you even love me?
[18:16] Giichi
    Huh?
[18:17] Giichi
    Hey! We're at school!
    What if someone shows up?
[18:23] Jin
    Huh?!
SIGN    Huh?!
[18:24] Giichi
    Don't look! It's nothing!
[18:26] Jin
    Sorry! Did that surprise you?
     Or are you upset?
[18:32] Jin
    Look, if something's on your mind,
    you can talk to me.
[18:36] Jin
    You seem distracted a lot these days.
    It actually makes me kind of nervous.
[18:41] Giichi
    I don't have anything to say.
[18:45] Giichi
    I'm just thinking about
    how lonely I'm going to be
[18:49] Giichi
    once we're apart.
[18:54] Giichi
    Is that so wrong? I'm nervous too, you know.
[18:57] Giichi
    You're in your third year and
    we're running out of time.
[19:02] Jin
    With those few words, all my uncertainty
    was replaced with the kind of confidence
[19:07] Jin
    that fills you when you hear
    the clapper and walk into frame.
[19:11] Jin
    I felt like I could do anything.
[19:14] Jin
    I'll nail this cool line in just one take.
    Just listen and let me stay your hero.
[19:20] Jin
    Don't worry.
[19:22] Jin
    Even after you move out and I graduate,
    nothing will change between us.
[19:28] Jin
    We can overcome anything if we have love.
    Everything will work out!
[19:33] Giichi
    That's just your blind willpower
    talking again.
[19:38] Giichi
    Don't you have any more concrete ideas?
[19:41] Jin
    I botched it?
[19:45] Giichi
    But maybe it's true.
    Things could work out, huh?
[19:49] Giichi
    Maybe so. You might be right, Jin.
[19:53] Giichi
    There's no point freaking out about it.
[19:56] Giichi
    We've just got to find a way
    to make it work for us.
[20:00] Giichi
    Still, I do wish our time together
    would move more slowly.
[20:05] Giichi
    As slowly as possible.
[20:07] Jin
    Ichikawa...
[20:10] Jin
    Ichikawa's smile looked so melancholy,
    I wanted to kiss him one more time.
[20:15] Jin
    Gently, like in slow motion.
[20:18] Jin
    As the lunchtime noise fades into the
    background and we're bathed in light,
[20:23] Jin
    I want you to imprint
    this scene on your mind.
[20:27] Jin
    So that you never forget me,
    even after I'm gone.
[20:31] Jin
    Slow, super slow. Shot at
    960 frames per second.
[20:37] Jin
    If we had a camera rolling,
    this would have made a fantastic shot.
[20:41] Jin
    So I want you to say it.
[20:45] Jin
    Ichikawa.
[20:48] Jin
    Do you really like me?
[20:51] Mao
    Ichikawa?
[20:52] Runa
    No, I haven't seen him.
[20:54] Mao
    Is it okay to leave it edited like this?
[20:57] Runa
    Why don't we just ask him later?
[20:58] Mao
    Roger.
[21:00] Runa
    But I never thought Ichikawa would suggest
    we make a documentary for the third-years.
[21:06] Giichi
    Second-year director, Ichikawa Giichi.
[21:09] Giichi
    Third-year members, congrats on your
    retirement. You sure worked hard, huh?
[21:13] Giichi
    It's all up to me now. Have a good life.
    And break a leg on your exams.
[21:17] Runa
    Cut!
[21:18] Runa
    How in the hell could we use this?!
    Be more polite! Polite!
[21:23] Runa
    Cut.
[21:24] Mao
    Shouldn't you tell the third-years
    how much you appreciate them—
[21:27] Giichi
    I know already! Go again.
[21:30] Runa
    Take number five. Ready, go!
[21:33] Giichi
    Second-year director, Ichikawa Giichi.
[21:36] Giichi
    Third-year members, congratulations
    on your well-earned retirement.
[21:40] Giichi
    Kikuchihara Jin, president,
[21:43] Giichi
    I despise the movies you make.
[21:46] Giichi
    They're pedestrian trash and they all
    look like copies of other movies.
[21:49] Runa
    Hey!
[21:49] Giichi
    However, while I hate to admit this,
    everyone seemed to have fun with you.
[21:54] Giichi
    Both those filming and those watching.
[21:56] Giichi
    You said, "You can become whatever
    you want in the film club."
[21:59] Giichi
    Working with you, that might
    not have been a lie, after all.
[22:02] (Flashback) Giichi
    You are undoubtedly a fine
    entertainer and true cineaste.
[22:06] (Flashback) Giichi
    There's much about you that I can't begin
    to emulate. I respect you for that.
[22:12] Giichi
    So thank you for leading the way
    as club president until now.
[22:16] Giichi
    All of the second-years
    respect the hell out of you...
[22:19] (Flashback) Giichi
    Damn, this is so infuriating!
[22:21] (Flashback) Giichi
    What the hell?! You managed
    the club so well, you asshole.
[22:25] (Flashback) Giichi
    How could I ever compare?
[22:27] (Flashback) Giichi
    Kikuchihara Jin! You're trying to leave your
    shadow behind even after you graduate?!
[22:33] (Flashback) Giichi
    It's transparently obvious how much of
    a true scumbag you are! What an asshole!
[22:37] (Flashback) Runa
    Hey!
[22:37] Giichi
    Shut up!
[22:39] Giichi
    How am I supposed to replace someone
    that impressive? Put yourself in my my shoes!
[22:43] Giichi
    We'll never be able to
    forget you even if we wanted!
[22:46] Giichi
    I will forever curse you for that!
[22:48] Giichi
    Hey, Kikuchihara!
[22:49] Runa
    Idiot!
[22:50] Giichi
    You'd better come and
    visit us after you graduate!
[22:50] Runa
    Cut, cut! We can't use any of this!
[22:52] Giichi
    I'll have plenty more things
    to say to you then!
[22:52] Mao
    Replace? You haven't been
    chosen for anything yet, man.
[22:55] Giichi
    I'll give you a real piece of my mind!
[22:56] Teru
    He probably won't be, at this rate.
[23:01] Mao
    Seems complicated.
[23:02] Mao
    I can't tell if Ichikawa likes the
    president or hates him. Love-hate?
[23:08] Runa
    Are we seriously gonna show them this?
[23:16] Jin
    Yeah.
[23:19] Jin
    I like you, too.

[00:01] Shion
    I don't like the night. It feels like
    I'm the only person left in the world.
[00:05] Shion
    Night after night, the dread falls upon me.
[00:09] Shion
    Will I be able to smile tomorrow?
    Maybe I'll get upset and start crying.
[00:13] Shion
    The depression envelops me

    Oh moon, oh stars, please

    Please, make way for the morning,

    Nice to meet you! I'm from first year,

[00:30] Shion
    I've decided to join the film club.
[00:33] Shion
    Just so you all know,
[00:36] Shion
    I joined the club because I want a boyfriend!
[00:39] Shion
    I have no interest in movies and
    don't plan to become an expert.
[00:43] Shion
    Well, I will carry out my duties
    as a member, though.
[00:46] Shion
    But I really want to get
    a boyfriend before Christmas!
[00:50] Shion
    If any of you know someone hot you can
    introduce me to, please let me know!
[00:54] Runa
    Yoshino, Yoshino.
[00:56] Shion
    Huh?
[00:56] Runa
    Our members are a bunch
    of introverted virgins.
[00:59] Runa
    Bringing up your love life at our first
     meeting is probably too much.
[01:02] Runa
    You might wanna lay off a bit.
[01:04] Shion
    Okay.
[01:05] Shion
    Does anyone have any questions?
    Ask whatever you want!
[01:10] Shion
    Yes! The guy in a cap.
[01:12] Runa
    Hey! That's not just any guy in a cap!
[01:15] Runa
    That's your senpai! Former

[01:21] Rei
    Listen, kid. You should probably
    give up on the film club.
[01:24] Shion

[09:45] Shion
    What is it?
[09:46] 1st Year Club Member 2
    Uh, well...
[09:48] 1st Year Club Member 1
    We should just ask Kirito. Right?
[09:52] Shion
    Oh, yeah? I'll go ahead, then.
[09:55] Kirito
    Sure.
[09:56] Shion
    No, I'm not getting along well at all.
[09:59] Shion
    The other members from my class avoid me.
[10:02] Shion
    All I've been doing is helping
    with random chores.
[10:05] Shion
    Nobody's here yet.
[10:08] Shion
    Ugh. This club might not work out, either.
[10:11] Shion
    Just like that four-eyes said.
[10:14] (Flashback) Rei
    You're 100 percent guaranteed
    never to find a boyfriend here.
[10:18] Shion
    If I was in a manga,
    a prince would appear and ask,
[10:21] Shion
    "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
    in a situation like this.
[10:26] Shion
    Ugh.
[10:32] Shion
    Damn it. Damn it! That damn four-eyed jerk!
[10:36] Shion
    Die, die, die!
[10:46] Shion
    Hey, you're gonna ignore me?!
[10:48] Shion
    It's all your fault that I'm crying!
[10:50] Shion
    Your fault! It's all your fault!
[10:58] Rei
    What's up? You good?
[11:00] Shion
    Why are you acting like you decided
    to come back on your own
[11:03] Shion
    when you tried to leave me here?
[11:06] Rei
    You were crying. I thought it'd
    be better to leave you alone.
[11:11] Shion
    I bet you don't get many dates.
[11:13] Rei
    No, I do okay.
[11:16] Rei
    So? What's supposed to be my fault, now?
[11:19] Shion
    I get it. People are pissed off
    because I don't seem serious.
[11:24] Shion
    But you know, I still
    give it everything I have.
[11:27] Shion
    Even in hockey, baseball, and track.
[11:29] Shion
    I trained hard and got a lot better,
    but still couldn't find a lover.
[11:34] Shion
    Film club, too. I know my goals are different
    from everyone, and I don't know about movies,
[11:39] Shion
    but I'm still doing my best to help
    and stay out of everyone's way.
[11:43] Shion
    But right at the start,
[11:44] Shion
    you come out and say someone 
    like me will never find a boyfriend?
[11:48] Shion
    Isn't that kind of mean?
[11:49] Rei
    I didn't say it like—
[11:51] Shion
    You're teasing me because I'm so cute!
[11:53] Shion
    That's mean! It's so mean!
[11:55] Shion
    Man, now I'm just taking it out on him
    because nothing's going my way.
[12:00] Shion
    Sorry, Senpai.
[12:02] Shion
    You're definitely a total jerk, but now
    you probably think I'm a pain, too.
[12:07] Rei
    What makes you stop crying
    when you get like this?
[12:10] Shion
    If this was a shojo manga,
[12:13] Shion
    you'd pat my head gently,
    say, "Hey, stop crying now,"
[12:17] Shion
    and then kiss me.
[12:21] Rei
    Hey, stop crying.
[12:30] Shion
    Hey! Hang on!
[12:31] Rei
    Whoa. You really did stop crying.
[12:33] Shion
    Why did you do that?!
[12:35] Rei
    Because you said you wanted me to.
[12:38] Rei
    You're kinda interesting, you know.
[12:40] Shion
    Oh! That's the "You're kind of
    an interesting guy," I was waiting for!
[12:44] Shion
    He's gonna make me fall for him!
[12:47] Rei
    Wanna try going out?
[12:48] Shion
    Huh?
[12:50] Rei
    If you want a boyfriend that bad,
    wanna try going out with me?
[12:53] Shion
    Huh?!
[12:55] Shion
    Wait, wait! Why me? I'm not into
    subculture otaku like you!
[13:01] Shion
    I like cool guys... instead...
[13:04] Rei
    What?
[13:07] Shion
    Huh?!
[13:10] Shion
    I don't know anything about this guy.
    He isn't even my type.
[13:14] Shion
    And he left a terrible first impression.
[13:18] Shion
    Please excuse me.
[13:19] Kirito
    Hey.
[13:20] Shion
    Huh?!
[13:22] Kirito
    Give back my glasses.
SIGN    He's so hot...
[13:25] Shion
    Success!
SIGN    Success
[13:27] Rei
    My glasses...
[13:29] Shion
    I will go out with you!
[13:37] Shion
    Once again, my name is Yoshino Shion.
SIGN    First-Year
    Yoshino Shion
[13:40] Shion
    I still have a lot to learn, but
    I hope you can put up with me.
[13:45] Rei
    I'm Inaba Rei. Hey.
SIGN    Third-Year
    Inaba Rei
[13:48] Shion
    Would you mind giving me your
    contact info? I'll message you later.
[13:52] Rei
    Okay, so about the club...
[13:55] Runa
    Yoshino, you left the equipment in the hall!
[13:59] Shion
    Oh, shoot! I'm sorry! I'll bring it in now!
[14:02] Shion
    See you later.
[14:04] Rei
    Hey, wait.
SIGN    Rei
SIGN    Older
SIGN    Famous (it seems)
SIGN    Amazing (it seems)
[14:10] Shion
    I got a boyfriend!
SIGN    Inaba
[14:12] Kirito
    Good for you. Congrats.
[14:14] Shion
    Yeah! Thanks!
[14:16] Shion
    This feels so good!
    I wanna go and tell everyone!
[14:20] Kirito
    Those middle school friends
    you've been lying to, you mean?
[14:23] Kirito
    So? What about the club?
[14:26] Shion
    What do you mean?
[14:27] Kirito
    You found your boyfriend.
[14:29] Kirito
    Now that you got what you wanted,
    what's the point in staying a member?
[14:33] Shion
    Good point.
[14:36] Shion
    Maybe I don't have any reason
    to stay in the club.
[14:39] Mao
    Today, we're going over equipment setup.
    First, look at the printout I gave you.
[14:44] Shion
    I don't feel like I'm getting closer
    to the guys from my class,
[14:48] Shion
    but I still haven't made a single movie yet.
[14:52] Shion
    I would kind of feel crappy
    if I quit before finishing anything.
[14:56] Mao
    Yoshino, you sure are careful with the gear.
[14:59] Shion
    Well, when you guys tell me a little lens
    like this costs hundreds of thousands of yen,
[15:03] Shion
    of course I'm gonna be careful!
[15:05] Mao
    Proper equipment handling is fundamental.
    I'm impressed. You're doing well.
[15:10] Shion
    Seems like he's looking out for me.
[15:12] Shion
    Kind of a unique way to express it, though.
[15:14] Shion
    What a weird club. The film club really is unique.
[15:18] Shion
    Yeah, there's something mysterious about it.
[15:21] Mao
    I changed the lens, so each of you
    come and take a look.
[15:25] Shion
    Until now, it's all been about being
    "strong" or "talented" or "fast" enough.
[15:30] Shion
    But what about when you're making movies?
[15:32] Shion
    There are so many people here.
    What are they trying to do together?
[15:36] Shion
    I'm getting used to it and I'm learning,
    so maybe it's okay for now.
[15:41] Shion
    Sounds like Rei-senpai visits a lot, too.
    And of course, Kirito is here.
[15:45] Shion
    Yeah. Maybe I'll stick around a little longer.
[15:49] Mao
    Come and take a look.
[15:51] Shion
    Wow!
[15:52] Mao
    See? That's how it looks
    through a wide-angle lens.
[15:55] Mao
    See how it opens things up?
[15:57] Shion
    Insane. The field of view is so much bigger.
[16:02] Shion
    Meanwhile! Why haven't I gotten
    a single response from Rei-senpai?!
[16:06] Kirito
    You try more than once?
[16:08] Shion
    Of course! Regularly,
    since we started dating!
[16:11] Shion
    See? Take a look at this!
SIGN    Hello! It's Shion! I hope we can get along.
SIGN    Oh. Please just call me Shion. 
    I feel so embarrassed saying that.
SIGN    Wait, are you getting these?
[16:14] Kirito
    Eww. I know he isn't responding,
    but this is stalkery and super creepy.
SIGN    (Cancel)
SIGN    Please call me
SIGN    Um, why won't you respond? You okay?
SIGN    Hey. You alive?
[16:18] Shion
    Yeah, but I'm really worried!
SIGN    Heeey!!!!!!!!!!
[16:22] Shion
    Believe it or not, I've never
    dated anyone before.
[16:24] Shion
    If we're going out, I really
    want him to think I'm fun.
[16:28] Shion
    But I don't want to be so pushy
    that he gets annoyed.
[16:32] Kirito
    What are you talking about?
    Your middle name is pushy.
[16:36] Kirito
    You wouldn't stop if he got annoyed.
[16:37] Shion
    Hey!
[16:39] Kirito
    If you're really worried,
    why not go see him?
[16:41] Kirito
    I don't know what dorm room he's in,
    but he should be in class 3-A.
[16:45] Shion
    I didn't think of that!
[16:47] Shion
    Kirito, come with me to 3-A tomorrow!
[16:50] Kirito
    No way! The third-year hallway creeps me out.
[16:52] Shion
    Please come with me!
[16:54] Shion
    Please, please, pwease!
[16:54] Kirito
    Get off! Get off! You're way too strong!
[16:57] Third Year 1
    Inaba hasn't been coming to class.
[16:59] Shion
    Hasn't been coming?
[17:00] Third Year 1
    Yeah, but that's business as usual.
[17:02] Third Year 2
    This time of day,
    he might be in the cafeteria.
[17:06] Shion
    Thank you very much.
[17:08] Shion
    But what could be preventing him
    from seeing his boyfriend?
[17:12] Shion
    A typical shojo manga scenario would be
    that he got into an accident,
[17:16] Shion
    or for some reason or another
    he got kidnapped or something.
[17:19] Shion
    Could be either one. Wait,
    I haven't been dumped, have I?
[17:24] Kirito
    Quit talking to yourself, creepo.
[17:28] Kirito
    I think that's them over there.
    The film club veterans.
[17:34] Shion
    Wow. They sure stick out.
[17:37] Chiaki
    Huh? Aren't those first-years from the club?
[17:41] Chiaki
    I've seen that guy in black before.
[17:43] Kirito
    Chiaki-senpai, how's it going?
[17:45] Shion
    Nice to meet you.
    My name is Yoshino. I just joined.
[17:49] Chiaki
    Ooh, first-years? They're so new and shiny.
[17:52] Shion
    Um, we're looking for Rei-senpai.
    Has he shown up yet?
[17:57] Jin
    Rei? No, he hasn't. Is it important?
[18:02] Shion
    To tell the truth, Rei-senpai
    and I have started dating.
[18:12] Jin
    Yoshino, was it?
[18:14] Shion
    Y-Yes.
[18:17] Jin
    It isn't too late yet.
    You should give up on Rei.
[18:21] Tsuchiya
    I agree.
[18:22] Chiaki
    He hasn't done anything to you yet, has he?
[18:25] Rudy
    Should break up, yeah.
[18:27] Shion
    Is there something wrong with Rei-senpai?
[18:30] Rei
    I haven't done what now?
[18:32] Shion
    Rei-senpai?!
[18:34] All
    Rei?!
[18:35] Rei
    Morning. I'm gonna eat,
    then get back to the dorm.
[18:38] Rei
    I need to send the final data by tonight.
[18:40] Shion
    I've finally caught you!
[18:42] Shion
    Why didn't you respond to me?
     I've been messaging you this whole time!
[18:46] Rei
    Hmm? You have?
[18:51] Rei
    I lost my phone.
[18:53] Tsuchiya
    Again? I bet it's sitting
    in your room somewhere.
[18:56] Chiaki
    If the battery's dead,
    it would never ring anyway.
[18:59] Rei
    I'll check on my PC later.
[19:02] Jin
    Everyone's worried about you, man.
[19:05] Jin
    You skip class, you aren't taking exams,
    and you aren't making any future plans.
[19:09] Jin
    At least try to eat something.
[19:11] Jin
    I'll stop by your room later.
[19:13] Rei
    Huh? Hell no.
[19:14] Jin
    Don't give me that.
[19:16] Jin
    Are you hoarding trash again?
    Who do you think is cleaning up after you?
[19:19] Rei
    I'm not "hoarding trash."
    I just haven't cleaned up.
[19:21] Jin
    Same difference.
[19:23] Jin
    I've got tests. I don't
    have time to babysit you.
[19:25] Rei
    Yeah, whatever.
[19:27] Chiaki
    Hey, don't forget about this one, Rei!
[19:30] Chiaki
    Are you seriously going out
    with Yoshino here?
[19:32] Rei
    Oh. Yeah.
[19:34] Rei
    We're going out.
[19:36] Shion
    Thank goodness! We really are a couple!
[19:39] Shion
    Then why won't you respond to my messages?
[19:42] Rei
    Do I need to? There's nothing to talk about.
[19:45] Shion
    Of course you need to!
    When people are going out,
[19:48] Shion
    you're supposed to say "good morning"
    and "good night" and "I love you" and stuff
[19:51] Shion
    like that to each other!
[19:52] Rei
    I don't see the need for that. If that's
    what you want to do, go right ahead.
[19:57] Rei
    Just don't expect a response.
[19:59] Rei
    Listen, I'm not going to change who I am
     just because we're going out.
[20:03] Rei
    I'm not gonna budge
    a single millimeter for you.
[20:06] Rei
    Let's recognize that we're dating,
    but let each other live freely.
[20:10] Rei
    Okay?
[20:12] Shion
    What's "okay"?
[20:14] Chiaki
    Whoa, there he goes.
    He said the same thing to the last one.
[20:18] Tsuchiya
    Then he got dumped. On the spot, too.
[20:22] Shion
    Why did you kiss me, then?
[20:26] Shion
    Why did you kiss me
    and hold me and comfort me?!
[20:30] Chiaki
    Ki...
[20:31] Kirito
    ...ss?
[20:32] Jin
    Rei! Why'd you make a move on him?
    That's a mess I can't clean up!
[20:36] Rei
    Because he said he'd stop crying if I did.
[20:39] Shion
    You only did it because
    my crying annoyed you?
[20:43] Shion
    Would you kiss me again now
    just to keep me from crying?
[20:47] Rei
    Mm-hmm.
[20:48] Jin
    Ugh.
[20:50] Shion
    You're the one who suggested
    we start dating, Rei-senpai.
[20:55] Rei
    If you joined the club to find a boyfriend,
    I thought you'd quit once you did.
[20:59] Rei
    If you don't even like movies,
    what's the point of staying in?
[21:03] Rei
    Our members are all nerdy late bloomers.
    I figured you'd never go for any of them.
[21:09] Rei
    But on that note, I'm not so picky.
    I could hook up with anyone.
[21:13] Rei
    Seemed like the right move. Also,
    I did think you were kind of interesting.
[21:18] Rei
    So? What's the plan?
    You gonna quit the club?
[21:32] Shion
    I get it now.
    This guy's a real piece of trash.
SIGN    It is as you say.
[21:36] All
    It is as you say.
[21:41] Jin
    So, that's just what Rei is like.
[21:44] Jin
    He's not trying to be cruel. I'm sorry, man.
[21:47] Shion
    He'd better not be!
[21:49] Shion
    But even if he's not trying,
    it's still really nasty!
[21:52] Jin
    If you want to stay with him,
    we can try to back you up,
[21:56] Jin
    but personally, I think it's smarter to
    break up before you really get hurt.
[22:05] Rei
    What?
[22:06] Shion
    Shit! Ahh, I do like him!
[22:09] Shion
    I like his face! He's so hot!
[22:12] Shion
    He's my type! Damn it!
[22:16] Shion
    I haven't shown him off to my friends yet.
[22:19] Shion
    I don't want to go wandering off to
    search for another boyfriend again!
SIGN    Stay
SIGN    Split
[22:25] Shion
    I will not break up with you!
[22:30] Shion
    I'm sure I'll be able to change Rei-senpai!
[22:33] Rei
    Hmm?
[22:35] Shion
    For now, anyway. Good enough for now.
[22:38] Shion
    But as soon as another friendly,
    hot guy shows up,
[22:41] Shion
    I'm dumping this one like yesterday's trash!

    When my tears spill, they turn into
    ripples on the surface of the night.
[00:08] Shion
    The rings they birth silently
    expand, then disappear,
[00:13] Shion
    then are born again in the

[00:34] Shion
    Kirito, you're always watching this video.
[00:39] Kirito
    Hey! Quit peeking!
[00:41] Shion
    Why are you hiding it? It's no big deal.
    Not like it's a dirty movie or something.
[00:44] Kirito
    What about you? What do you
    keep scribbling down at night?
[00:48] Kirito
    Let me see it.
[00:49] Shion
    My secret.
[00:50] Kirito
    Fine, I don't care. But I bet 
    yours is dirty, though.
[00:54] Shion
    No, it is not!

[01:08] (Flashback) Jin
    Now it's set in stone.
[01:10] Shion
    So Rei-senpai and I are going to
    start finding more time to meet.
[01:15] Shion
    Starting tomorrow, we're supposed
    to walk to school together,
[01:17] Shion
    but I have no idea how things are gonna go.
[01:19] Kirito
    So aside from video stuff,
    Rei-senpai really is good for nothing?
[01:22] Kirito
    I guess the rumors were true.
[01:27] (Flashback) Jin
    When Rei is working on something,
    I'd like you to give him some space.
[01:31] (Flashback) Shion
    Huh? What do you mean? Stay away from him?
[01:36] (Flashback) Jin
    You can quietly watch over him
    from afar. We're counting on you.
[01:42] Shion
    Jeez. This isn't at all what I imagined.

    Oh!

    G-Good morning.

    Let's go.
[03:37] Shion
    Okay!
[03:47] Rei
    Do you always leave around this time?
[03:49] Shion
    I usually leave a little bit earlier.
[03:53] Shion
    If I leave too late, the entrance
    gets crowded with upperclassmen.
[03:57] Rei
    You plan your schedule
    around stuff like that?

    I'm minding my manners as a first-year.
[04:03] Shion
    I don't want anyone to think
    I'm some cocky jerk or anything.
[04:06] Rei
    Really? I never worried about that at all.
[04:10] Shion
    Yeah, I don't imagine you would, Rei-senpai.
[04:13] Shion
    I bet you haven't changed
    at all since your first year.
[04:16] Shion
    You were really cocky, huh?
[04:18] Rei
    No, I don't think I was.
[04:20] Rei
    Well, maybe.
[04:22] Shion
    What a surprise. He really can
    hold a normal conversation.
[04:25] Shion
    I was worried it would be like
    trying to talk to a space alien.
[04:29] Rei
    Actually, one time in my first year,
[04:31] Rei
    some third-years chided with me and asked,
    "Why are you always wearing a hat?"
[04:35] Shion
    That doesn't sound very polite of them.
[04:38] Shion
    But hey, why are you always wearing one?
[04:42] Rei
    To hide my bedhead.
[04:43] Shion
    Huh? Show me!
[04:44] Rei
    No way.
[04:45] Shion
    Come on! Just a little!
[04:58] Rei
    You've got really silky hair, Yoshino.

[05:17] Shion
    Hello.
[05:18] Shion
    You guys know Rei-senpai?
[05:21] Hockey Club 1
    Yeah. We became friends when
    we appeared in one of his movies.
[05:25] Hockey Club 1

[05:26] Hockey Club 2
    Yeah. Pretty much everyone
    in third year knows Inaba.

[05:38] Shion
    We're in the film club together.
[05:40] Rei
    I'm dating him right now.
[05:42] Shion
    Huh?
[05:45] Hockey Club 1 & 2
    Huh...
[05:47] Shion
    Wow! I was waiting for this moment!
[05:51] Shion
    I was worried how things would go at first,
    but it really is nice having a boyfriend!
[05:56] Shion
    It's so great!
[06:08] Shion
    Only one step away from my ideal
    high school career? Feels that way.
[06:12] Shion
    There are still a few random things
    to take care of, but...
[06:15] Shion
    I got a hot boyfriend,
[06:18] Shion
    and I joined a club that seems worthwhile.
[06:20] Shion
    Dorm life is comfortable enough.
    And the food is tasty.
[06:24] Shion
    I just wish the uniforms were a little cuter.
[06:27] Shion
    Also, I've made a few friends.
[06:30] Shion
    Actually, this is the first time
    I've ever had male friends.
[06:34] Shion
    Hey, Kirito.
[06:36] Shion
    Hmm?
[06:38] Shion
    What, what, what?
    What are you running away for?
[06:41] Shion
    Let's eat lunch together.
[06:43] Kirito
    No, I'm good. You're eating
    with Rei-senpai, right?
[06:47] Shion
    Yeah, so the three of us should...
[06:49] Shion
    Hey! You jerk!
[06:52] Rei
    Was that a friend from the film club?
[06:55] Shion
    It's Kujo Kirito. We're in the same class,
    and he's also my roommate.
[07:01] Rei
    You seem extremely close.
[07:03] Shion
    Well, sure, we're close.
[07:06] Shion
    Oh my gosh! Are you suspicious?
[07:09] Shion
    Because we're roommates?
    Are you worried we're hooking up?
[07:11] Shion
    Huh? Are you jealous?!
[07:13] Rei
    Nah, not at all.
[07:15] Shion
    Aww, you ain't?
[07:16] Rei
    You okay leaving him alone
    instead of eating together?
[07:20] Rei
    You gotta hang on to your friends.
    Don't worry about me.
[07:24] Shion
    Oh, it's fine. Kirito probably
    wanted to be alone, anyway.
[07:28] Shion
    He's probably getting sick of me
    because we see each other all the time.
[07:32] Shion
    And then there's you, who I only see on
    the walk to and from school and at lunch?
[07:38] Shion
    And even then you, stand me up sometimes!
[07:41] Shion
    What the hell is this "don't worry about me"
    crap?! You should want to see me more!
[07:47] Shion
    At this rate, when are we ever
    gonna get down to business?
[07:50] Shion
    Take off your hat?
[07:54] Shion
    What are you laughing about?
[07:55] Rei
    Well, I was probably the same way.
[08:00] Rei
    I got sick of being around people all
    the time and wanted some time alone.
[08:05] Rei
    But that sort of thing can't last forever.
[08:08] Shion
    It's like he's talking to himself.
    Quietly. Almost murmuring.
[08:13] Rei
    I've started to realize how precious that is.
[08:16] Shion
    It's like his mind is somewhere else.
[08:18] Shion
    I want to tell him he can talk to me about
    his problems, but there's no way I can.
[08:23] Shion
    We aren't nearly that close yet.
[08:26] Shion
    Not to mention that this guy
    doesn't even like me to begin with.
[08:32] Shion
    Hey, Rei-senpai.
[08:35] Shion
    I want to go see you in your room tonight.
[08:38] Rei
    I've got stuff to do tonight.
[08:40] Shion
    It would be pretty easy to feel sorry for me.
[08:44] Shion
    One step away from the ideal high
    school career... only on the surface.
[08:49] Shion
    Right now it's just a facade.
[08:53] Shion
    But the club and friend parts
    are still in good shape!
[08:56] Shion
    With Rei-senpai, I'll just try to make
    something work before he graduates.

[09:10] Shion
    Hey, Kirito! Quit screwing

[09:13] Shion
    It's one thing if you don't like movies,
[09:15] Shion

    No, I'm not screwing around!

[09:24] Shion
    That has nothing to do with movies!

    It's the club president

    So what are they making?

    The music video that you're shooting...
    Please let me join the staff.
[10:17] Kirito
    I... I joined this club because
    I want to shoot music videos.
[10:22] Kirito
    Um...
[10:23] Kirito
    L-Look at this. It's an original
    music video that I made.
[10:27] Kirito
    I've been making these since middle school.
[10:30] Giichi
    Let's see.
[10:31] Giichi
    You did this all by yourself?
    And the song is original?
[10:34] Kirito
    Yes. I also wrote the song.
    I taught myself everything.
[10:39] Kirito
    I thought the music video
    you guys made was amazing!
[10:43] Kirito
    I... I'm desperate to be on

[10:47] Kirito
    Please give me this opportunity
    to learn! I'm begging you!
[10:50] Shion
    I had no idea that's
    what Kirito wanted to do.
[10:54] Shion
    No wonder he kept practicing guitar
    and watching videos of bands.
[10:59] Shion
    Kirito joined the film club because
    he had something he wanted to make.
[11:03] Shion
    And he seems so committed, too.
[11:09] Giichi
    Kagari, is Kujo on the list of
    support staff for the camera crew?
[11:14] Runa
    No, Kujo isn't.

    Huh?
[11:22] Shion

[11:26] Shion
    I didn't know the right way
    to react in situations like this.
[11:30] Shion
    I wouldn't mind trading
    places with Kirito, though.
[11:33] Shion
    It just slipped out of my mouth.
    When I realized how bad it was,
[11:36] Shion
    it was already too late.
[11:38] Shion
    I just joined and I don't
    actually like movies that much.
[11:42] Shion
    I know you selected me, but honestly
    I don't really care either way.
[11:46] Shion
    I couldn't stop myself.
[11:48] Shion
    I know Kirito is more motivated than I am.
[11:51] Kirito
    Well, gee. Thanks so much.
[11:53] Kirito
    Seriously, did you think I'd want you
    to give me your spot? Not a chance in hell.
[11:58] Shion
    But, I just...
[11:59] Kirito
    You know, I invited you to join the film club
[12:02] Kirito
    partly because I thought it'd
    be fun to hang out together
[12:05] Kirito
    but also because I had a feeling
    you'd take your position seriously.
[12:11] Kirito
    Our senpai picked you, Shion, because
    they can see how talented you are.
[12:16] Kirito
    They've seen how hard you work.
[12:19] Kirito
    Everyone else is paying attention. But you...
[12:23] Kirito
    You don't listen to anyone else
    and have no clue what's going on.
[12:28] Kirito
    That's why things will never work out with
     that boyfriend you keep bragging about.
[12:33] Kirito
    But you don't care anyway, right?
[12:36] Kirito
    Shion, I know you don't
    actually like Rei-senpai. Do you?
[12:41] Shion
    I had no way to respond.
[12:43] Shion
    He was right about everything. All of it.
[12:50] Shion
    What now? I don't wanna go back to the room.
[12:53] Shion
    Ugh. But I don't have anywhere else to go.

    It's already past lights out.
    Shouldn't you get back to your room?
[13:04] Shion
    But why now? I don't want to see him!
[13:09] Shion
    I was on the phone with
    a friend but just hung up.
[13:12] Shion
    I'm heading back now.

    Have a good night.
[13:17] Rei
    Hey. Are you sure something's
     not bothering you?
[13:22] Shion
    Why is he following me?
[13:24] Rei
    You argued with your roommate and
    don't want to stay in your room, right?
[13:28] Rei
    But you have nowhere to go, right?
[13:30] Shion
    How does he know all about it?

    not like this! And not right now!

[14:33] Rei
    Have some tea.
[14:35] Shion
    Thank you very much.
[14:37] Rei
    At first, I never intended
    to join the film club.
[14:41] Shion
    What?
[14:42] Rei
    Because clubs are too much of a pain.
[14:44] Rei
    Instead of keeping pace with everyone else,
    I thought it'd be easier to work alone.
[14:49] Shion
    So why did you join, then?
[14:51] Rei
    Hmm? Kikuchihara Jin took me for a ride.
[14:55] (Flashback) Jin
    My film club absolutely
    requires your talent, Rei!
[15:00] Shion
    That does sound like our
    former president.
[15:05] Rei
    Jin and I get into fights sometimes,
    but that's totally fine.
[15:09] Rei
    I think you'll be okay with Kujo, too.
[15:13] Shion
    I was actually really happy to be chosen.
[15:18] Shion
    I want people to compliment me and like me.
[15:20] Shion
    I want them to think I'm capable, you know?
[15:24] Shion
    But that's it. I don't
    have any particular goals.
[15:27] Shion
    Kirito was right.
    I'm only thinking of myself.
[15:31] Shion
    It's all me, me, me.
[15:33] Shion
    Well, I guess I am kind of interested.
[15:37] Shion
    But is it okay for me
    to participate like this?
[15:39] Shion
    It feels unfair to the guys who are
    trying to achieve something.
[15:43] Rei
    If you are interested, then don't
    sweat it. Just give it a shot.
[15:46] Rei
    You might realize this really
    is what you want to do.
[15:50] Rei
    Also, you don't know unless you try, right?
[15:54] Rei
    As long as your chances aren't zero,
    you gotta give it a shot.
[15:57] (Flashback) Shion
    As long as my chances aren't zero,
    I'd like to give it a shot.
[16:02] (Flashback) Shion
    I won't know unless I try.
[16:04] Shion

[16:07] Rei
    Of course I remember.
[16:09] Rei
    That's when you let loose on me, right?
[16:11] Shion
    Yes, I may have been

    Well, excuse me.
[16:20] Shion

[19:57] Shion
    Oh, wow. I can just go up and talk to people.
[20:01] Runa
    Over here! Let's get started!
[20:04] Runa
    The lead, Otomo, is on set!
[20:09] Shion
    When the lead actor appeared,
    the atmosphere changed. Tensed up.
[20:13] Shion
    I don't really remember
    what happened after that.
[20:16] Shion
    I ran where I was told
[20:18] Shion
    and got yelled at a few times.
[20:21] Shion
    It all passed in the blink of an eye.
[20:24] Shion
    Before I knew it, we were on the last shot.
[20:26] Runa
    Let's go for real!
[20:32] Giichi
    Ready!
[20:33] Giichi
    Action!
[20:36] Shion
    I know this isn't the time
    to be talking about myself,
[20:39] Shion
    but I've never gotten
    along great with others.
[20:43] Shion
    I say whatever is on my mind and
    can't really see the bigger picture.
[20:47] Shion
    In that sense, I think the film club
    members are kind of like me.
[20:51] Shion
    They also seem to have trouble
    getting along with people.
[20:54] Shion
    But they'd probably
    get mad if I said so.
[20:56] Shion
    Though while they are awkward,
    they're also really kind.
[21:01] Shion
    I was starting to wonder why.
[21:04] Shion
    And I just figured it out.
[21:06] Shion
    It's all for the movie.
[21:10] Giichi
    Cut! Okay!
[21:12] Giichi
    You all right?!
[21:13] Shion
    Are you okay?
[21:15] Hisashi
    I'm fine. Thanks.
[21:18] Mao
    You okay?
[21:20] Hisashi
    Mm-hmm. All good.
[21:21] Shion
    He isn't injured! Neither am I!
[21:24] Runa
    That's a wrap! Good work, everyone!
[21:27] Staff
    Good job!
[21:27] Staff
    Good work everyone!
[21:27] Shion
    You can't make a movie alone.
[21:30] Shion
    You have to make it together.
[21:32] Runa
    Pack it up!
[21:34] Shion
    Wow, crazy. I can't stop shaking.

[00:01] Rei
    Why am I going out with him?
    I don't really know.
[00:06] Rei
    I don't really understand other people,
    but I don't know myself that well, either.
[00:11] Rei
    I thought of him as an amusing glitch
    that wormed his way into the film club.
[00:16] Rei
    I didn't take him seriously.
[00:19] Rei
    And I knew I could call it off anytime.
[00:22] Rei
    I was monitoring the situation.
[00:24] Rei
    That's what it felt like... at first, anyway.
[00:27] Rei
    Shi—
[00:28] Kirito
    Shion!
[00:29] Shion
    Kirito! You made it!
[00:31] Kirito
    You're the one who told me to watch you.
[00:34] Kirito
    Actually, President Ichikawa invited me.
[00:37] Kirito
    He said I could come and observe him.
[00:39] Shion
    Oh, really? That's great!
[00:43] Shion
    Um...
[00:43] Kirito
    Um...
[00:45] Shion
    Uh, Kirito, you first.
[00:47] Kirito
    No, go ahead, Shion.
[00:48] Shion
    No, no, you first.
[00:50] Kirito
    I'm sorry I was so harsh.
    I know you're trying your hardest.
[00:57] Shion
    I should apologize, too.
[00:59] Shion
    You were right about everything.
    I'll try to be better.
[01:03] Rei
    Ah, youth.
[01:05] Shion
    So listen, one other thing.
    I need to talk to you about something.
[01:09] Shion
    Just the two of us.
[01:11] Rei
    Hmm?
[01:11] Kirito
    Sure, but what is it?
[01:13] Shion
    I'll tell you once we're alone.
[01:15] Shion
    C'mon, let's go.
[01:19] Rei
    Huh...
[01:21] Rei
    Oh?
SIGN    I won't be able to walk to school with you for a while. I'm sorry.
[01:23] Rei
    After that, he started avoiding me.
[01:28] Rei
    Hmm.
[01:30] Shion
    We're roommates, best friends,
    and we fought a little
[01:33] Shion
    but then fell for each other!
[01:35] Rei
    Is it possible... I've been dumped?
SIGN    Twilight Out of Focus
SIGN    Twilight Out of Focus
[03:10] Rei
    Well, this is how it always goes.
[03:13] Rei
    The one I'm dating gets
    tired of me and fades out.
[03:16] Rei
    Every time.
[03:18] Rei
    I think I was pretty gentle this time,
    though. Nicer than before, anyway.
[03:22] Shion
    Well, maybe you were gentle
    to me as my film club senpai,
[03:26] Shion
    but as a boyfriend, you get zero points!
[03:28] Rei
    Yeah, he'd say that.
[03:33] Rei
    Feels like that glitch is stuck in my head.
[03:39] Rei
    I'm out of it today. I should just sleep.
[03:46] Rei
    He was sleeping right here the other day.
[03:52] Rei
    If I'd known this would happen,
    I should've screwed him once.
[03:56] Shion
    So mean! But if you're gonna do it, do it!
[04:01] Rei
    Crap. This thing in my head is so loud.
[04:05] Rei
    I can't sleep at all.
[04:10] Chiaki
    Yeah, he's obviously in a bad way.
[04:14] Chiaki
    He's glitching.
[04:15] Rudy
    Maybe depressed?
[04:17] Tsuchiya
    He must be worried about something.
[04:19] Chiaki
    Well, he's got a lot on his mind.
    He hasn't even decided on a career path yet.
[04:24] Chiaki
    He had some tough words for Jin, but he's
    the one who can't leave the club behind.
[04:29] Tsuchiya
    Hmm.
[04:30] Chiaki
    And he got a boyfriend, right?
    I doubt that's going very well.
[04:35] Rudy
    But Rei is a nice guy, yes? I know he is.
[04:39] Tsuchiya
    Yeah, he is. He's just a little awkward.
[04:42] Chiaki
    Mm-hmm.
[04:43] Tsuchiya
    Oh, he's up. Seems like
    he's looking for something.
[04:47] Chiaki
    He's probably looking for Jin.
[04:50] Chiaki
    When he gets like this, Jin's
    probably the only one who can help.
[04:58] Rei
    Oh.
[05:01] Rei
    Ji—
[05:18] Jin
    You have to say something, man.
[05:21] Jin
    L-Laugh at me, chew me out... something,
[05:25] Jin
    or I'm gonna pass out from embarrassment.
[05:28] Jin
    Before you ask, it's serious.
    I'm serious about him.
[05:33] Rei
    Congrats. I kind of had a feeling.
[05:36] Jin
    Huh?
[05:37] Rei
    I'm a little surprised you
     hooked up with Ichikawa,
[05:40] Rei
    but I could tell by the way you
     were acting that you're in love.
[05:43] Rei
    I've been watching you since we were kids.
    I know you pretty well, Jin.
[05:49] Rei
    But if you don't want to open up
    to me, how could I possibly ask?
[05:54] Rei
    You kept me waiting, just like you always do.
[05:58] Rei
    This is like always? No.
    Deep down, I was irritated.
[06:03] Rei
    About leaving the club, graduation, exams,
[06:07] Rei
    about Jin secretly going out with Ichikawa,
[06:10] Rei
    about Yoshino suddenly keeping his distance
    like he dumped me or something.
[06:14] Rei
    The world around me is rewriting itself
    into something I can't revise.
[06:20] Rei
    Nothing's going the way I want.
    But at the very least...
[06:25] Jin
    Rei, you've really changed.
[06:28] Rei
    Huh?
[06:29] Rei
    ...I want to stay the way that I am.
[06:33] Jin
    I never expected you to congratulate me.
[06:36] Jin
    You've always found personal
    relationships annoying, right?
[06:40] Jin
    Did something happen
    to change your mind about it?
[06:43] Rei
    How would I know?
    It's not like I'm trying to change.
[06:47] Jin
    Are you serious? It's totally
    obvious you've changed.
[06:51] Rei
    I can't understand myself,
[06:54] Rei
    so it's even harder for me
    to understand other people.
[06:58] Jin
    Rei...
[07:00] Jin
    Okay! Just leave everything
    to Kikuchihara Jin here.
[07:04] Jin
    We've been pals since we were babies.
[07:07] Jin
    Nobody knows Inaba Rei better than I do.
[07:11] Jin
    I know that Inaba Rei is patient and kind.
[07:14] Jin
    He's stayed my best friend, after all.
[07:17] Jin
    And he's intelligent.
[07:19] Jin
    Nobody in the club can contradict
    the smart points you make.
[07:23] Jin
    You're mature and reliable,
    but you can be kind of mean.
[07:27] Jin
    You have a bad habit of making fun
    of people. You gotta cut that out, man.
[07:31] Jin
    Sometimes it really pisses people off.
[07:34] Rei
    Heh.
[07:35] Jin
    I've been watching you since we were kids,
    so I pretty much understand you, Rei.
[07:40] Jin
    You're clinging to the film club
    and haven't decided a career path
[07:43] Jin
    because you're scared of change, right?
[07:46] Jin
    I get it. I'm scared, too.
[07:48] Jin
    But it would be such a waste to just
    stand still. I know you have dreams.
[07:53] Jin
    You should do what you want, Rei.
    It'll all work out.
[07:58] Rei
    What will work out?
    You can't promise me that, Jin.
[08:03] Rei
    Quit the "mind over matter" crap.
[08:06] Rei
    But Jin's advice is still special to me.
[08:10] Rei
    It's like a kind of magic.
[08:12] Rei
    Come to think of it, we've come a long way
[08:14] Rei
    since he cast his spell on me
    and said, "Let's make movies,"
[08:19] Rei
    and we started searching
    for our future together.
[08:22] Rei
    Jin, listen,
[08:25] Rei
    I think I've actually been dumped
    by that first-year, Yoshino Shion-kun.
[08:29] Jin
    Well, that's no surprise.
[08:31] Rei
    I don't want to be dumped. I don't want
    him leaving me for another guy.
[08:35] Jin
    Oh, that part is a surprise. Do you like him?
[08:39] Rei
    Maybe... I do.
[08:41] Rei
    That's one thing I want to find out.
[08:44] Rei
    Right now, I have fun when we're
    together and he's easy to tease.
[08:48] Rei
    The way he goes all in on things
    that don't matter is quite amusing.
[08:52] Shion
    Don't matter?!
SIGN    Don't matter?!
[08:52] Jin
    Now you're starting
    to sound more like yourself.
[08:55] Jin
    All right!
[08:56] Jin
    Go forth, Inaba Rei! You still have time!
[08:59] Jin
    Run! Don't let go of your love!
[09:02] Rei
    That's more like it.
    That's what I needed to hear.
[09:05] Rei
    Thanks.
[09:07] Jin
    Start running, and don't look back!
[09:10] Rei
    All right.
[09:12] Rei
    Jin always says crap like that.
[09:15] Rei
    Do I really still have time?
[09:17] Rei
    Sneaking around with his roommate...
    seems like my chances aren't great.
[09:23] Rei
    If that's the case, I can think of
    a way to steal him back later.
[09:27] Rei
    But for the time being...
[09:29] Rei
    I just want to see his face.
[09:36] Rei
    Shion!
[09:37] Shion
    Huh?
[09:42] Rei
    How you been? What are you doing?
[09:46] Shion
    I-I've been good.
[09:49] Shion
    We're shooting a movie right now.
[09:49] Kirito
    Ah, stop, stop! Let's take a short break!
[09:52] Rei
    Yeah, I can see that. Sorry to interrupt.
[09:55] 1st Year Member
    Yoshino, I'll grab that other gear.
[09:58] Shion
    Thanks!
[10:01] Rei
    You're getting along with everyone.
[10:03] Shion
    Sure wasn't at first, though.
[10:05] Shion
    A lot's changed.
[10:07] Shion
    But is everything okay?
    Why were you running like that?
[10:15] Rei
    I was searching for you.
[10:18] Rei
    I finally got to see your face.
[10:22] Rei
    I haven't seen you at all, so I was
    starting to worry that you'd dumped me.
[10:28] Rei
    I was worried you got a new boyfriend.
    Like your roommate or something.
[10:32] Shion
    Huh? Dumped you? No way!
[10:36] Shion
    And I don't have a new boyfriend!
    Kirito's just a friend!
[10:40] Rei
    Then is it okay if I stay your boyfriend?
[10:46] Shion
    A minute ago, when you came
    running straight to me, Senpai,
[10:51] Shion
    I was really, really happy!
[10:56] Shion
    Happy but also a little sad,
[10:59] Shion
    because I realize my boyfriend
    isn't really a boyfriend.
[11:03] Shion
    I want you to really like me,
    and I want to really like you.
[11:08] Shion
    I want us to be equal, to understand each
    other, to help each other out in a pinch.
[11:14] Shion
    Like in a manga.
[11:17] Shion
    I want to be in a love like that.
    With you, Senpai.
[11:21] Rei
    Then will you—
[11:22] Shion
    So, I thought the best way to
    understand you better is through film!
[11:26] Shion
    The first-years are making one by ourselves!
[11:28] Shion
    I talked to Kirito and got all
    the first-years to join in!
[11:32] Rei
    There he goes again.
[11:34] Shion
    I'm going to do it!
[11:36] Shion
    I'm going to make a movie every bit
    as good as the upperclassmen.
[11:39] Shion
    I'll really be in the club,
    not just for a boyfriend.
[11:42] Shion
    I'll make them all accept me!
[11:44] Shion
    And once I get an awesome film under
    my belt, I'll come and ask you out again!
[11:49] Shion
    Just wait and see!
[11:51] Rei
    Uh...
[11:53] Rei
    That's so... I don't know.
[11:56] Rei
    It's fine that he's using me
    as an excuse to make movies,
[11:59] Rei
    but if he can't make a good one,
    does that mean we can't date?
SIGN    This Is a Very Nice Movie.
    We Can Date Now Award
[12:02] Rei
    Is this a contest?
[12:04] First Year Member
    Hey, Yoshino! We're moving!
[12:07] Shion
    Okay! I'm coming!
[12:10] Shion
    See you!
[12:11] Rei
    Hey. Hold on! Wait, wait, wait!
[12:21] Rei
    Listen, I actually do like the way you
    recklessly throw yourself into things,
[12:26] Rei
    but what about my feelings?
[12:29] Rei
    I'm kinda... No, I'm totally
    throwing myself at you right now.
[12:32] Shion
    Huh?
[12:34] Rei
    I don't want any other guy to have you.
[12:36] Rei
    And honestly, I don't want to be
    passed over for some movie.
[12:39] Shion
    Huh?
[12:42] Rei
    Besides, there's no way first-years will make
     a better movie than the upperclassmen.
[12:47] Rei
    We're light years ahead of you.
[12:49] Rei
    If I wait for you to catch up,
    we'll never be together.
[12:52] Shion
    Hey! That's mean! Our director
    is actually really capable!
[12:56] Rei
    Don't you dare talk to me
    about other men. It pisses me off.
[13:00] Shion
    Wow! Your jealousy rears
    its super ugly head!
[13:09] Rei
    Let's really go out now.
[13:14] Shion
    Gosh, what should I do? You sure
    were mean to me for a while.
[13:19] Shion
    Didn't you say something about letting
     each other "live freely," or whatever?
[13:23] Rei
    Fine, I apologize.
[13:25] Rei
    What do I have to do to make you say yes?
[13:29] Shion
    That's something...
[13:31] Shion
    you should figure out on your own!
[13:36] Rei
    Actually, regardless of his answer,
    I knew what I wanted to do.
[13:42] Rei
    I guess I really do have
    trouble compromising.
[13:47] Rei
    I'll stun him with a kiss
    like an electric current...
[13:50] Rei
    Let's be together. Okay?
[13:52] Rei
    ...and let this glitch make me...
[13:53] Rei
    Let's be together.
[13:54] Rei
    keep repeating myself,
[13:57] Rei
    and I don't stop until he agrees.
[14:04] Shion
    O-Okay. Let's go out.
[14:12] Shion
    I'll go out with you!
[14:16] Shion
    "When you read this notebook someday,
    my future lover, please don't laugh.
SIGN    I don't like the night
    It feels like I'm the only person left in the world
    Night after night, the dread falls upon me
    Will I be able to smile tomorrow?
    Maybe I'll get upset and start crying
    The depression envelops me and keeps me
    from falling asleep
    Oh moon, oh stars, please hurry 
    and be off on your way
    Please,
    make way for the morning,
    while you disappear for me
SIGN    When
    you read this notebook someday,
    my future lover,
    please don't laugh
    please hear
    my voice
[14:22] Shion
    Please hear my voice."
[14:24] Shion
    When we started dating,
    I was nervous about some things,
[14:28] Shion
    but everything is going well now.
    I'm having so much fun!
[14:31] Shion
    Okay, I gotta get going
    or I'll be late to club.
[14:35] Rei
    Huh? Already?
[14:36] Rei
    You've still got time.
    Give me three more minutes.
[14:39] Shion
    He's actually a little needy.
[14:42] Shion
    Okay, a little longer.
[14:44] Shion
    I love that we keep finding out
    new things about each other.
[14:47] Shion
    Whenever I look into his eyes,
    my heart skips a beat.
[14:50] Shion
    But I still want to get closer to him.
[14:54] Shion
    Okay, I'm off.
[14:57] Rei
    Shion.
[15:00] Rei
    Tonight. Wanna spend the night in my room?
[15:04] Shion
    Huh?
[15:06] Shion
    That means... It must be!
[15:09] Shion
    He's inviting me to do it, right?!
[15:11] Shion
    Right, right, right?!
[15:12] Kirito
    Hey, you don't need to say it out loud!
    I don't wanna hear it.
[15:16] Shion
    What should I do? I'm getting really nervous!
[15:19] Shion
    I gotta shave my whole body
    and put on a nice fragrance!
[15:21] Kirito
    I don't want to hear it,
    but I am a little curious.
[15:23] Shion
    Oh! Underwear! Which one should I wear?!
[15:26] Shion
    Maybe these? I bought them
    online for a special occasion.
[15:30] Kirito
    You don't need to show me.
[15:32] Kirito
    But hey, you sure are
    keeping positive about it.
[15:36] Kirito
    There's no guarantee you're
    gonna stay together forever.
[15:40] Kirito
    Love is a fiction.
    Reality is a fantasy dreamworld.
[15:44] Kirito
    As I fumble here in the shadows,
[15:47] Kirito
    "I miss you."
[15:49] Shion
    You sure are twisted.
[15:51] Shion
    Stuff about love and romance and hope
    really sets you off, Kirito.
[15:54] Shion
    But Kirito was absolutely right.
[15:58] Shion
    There's no guarantee
    we'll always be together.
[16:00] Shion
    You can never be totally certain.
[16:03] Shion
    I like him, so I'll try to make it work,
[16:06] Shion
    and I know there's no reason to rush things,
[16:09] Shion
    but whenever things get quiet, I get scared.
[16:12] Shion
    Maybe it'll all balance out after
    we've spent more time together.
[16:16] Shion
    But I want to know more about
    what he's thinking right now.
[16:20] Shion
    And I want him to learn more about me.
[16:29] Rei
    Come in—
[16:31] Shion
    Good evening!
[16:33] Rei
    Looks like he's really
    throwing himself into this, too.
[16:36] Shion
    Excuse me.
[16:39] Shion
    Senpai,
[16:41] Shion
    please take a look at this.
[16:44] Rei
    Sure.
[16:46] Rei
    Let's see.
[16:48] Rei
    "I don't like the night.
SIGN    Will I be able...
SIGN    Night after night
SIGN    I don't like the night
SIGN    It feels like I'm...
SIGN    the world.
SIGN    me.
[16:50] Rei
    It feels like I'm the only person
    left in the world.
[16:53] Rei
    Night after night, the dread falls upon me.
[16:56] Rei
    Will I be able to smile tomorrow?"
SIGN    Will I be able...
SIGN    Night after night
SIGN    ...and sleep.
SIGN    A quiet...
SIGN    night.
[16:59] Rei
    "A quiet, moonlit night.
[17:02] Rei
    The angels rest their
    injured wings and sleep."
SIGN    ...and sleep.
[17:06] Rei
    Poems?
[17:08] Rei
    Did you write these?
[17:11] Shion
    Mm-hmm.
[17:13] Shion
    I started the first year of junior high.
    I began with a normal diary.
[17:18] Shion
    Then I got influenced by shojo manga
    and started trying poems.
[17:22] Shion
    Up until then, I thought I was strong.
    I didn't care if people made fun of me.
[17:28] Shion
    I thought if I tried, I'd be able to
    find someone special one day.
[17:32] Shion
    But...
SIGN    It feels like my heart is going somewhere far away  In the east or the west In Kutchan, Makkari, Oshamambe... Perhaps Lake Utonai... Gone far away.  Somebody catch it  My fluttering, swaying, tiny heart  I have to face tomorrow with a smile  I want to be kind, I want to be happy. I want to be myself.  I hope the weather tomorrow is good  Even if it's cloudy.
[17:33] Shion
    In poems, I was always really negative.
    Always a downer. A crybaby.
[17:39] Shion
    I realized that I also had a weakness
    inside me. I hadn't expected that.
[17:44] Shion
    A secret "me" that I couldn't show anyone.
[17:47] Shion
    I wrote in his voice every night
    and hid the notebook away.
[17:51] Rei
    So why are you showing me this?
[17:53] Shion
    I wanted you to know about this part of me.
[17:57] Shion
    I can actually be kind of an annoying
    person. Aggravating, I guess.
[18:02] Shion
    So I also want you to
    open up to me, Rei-senpai.
[18:07] Shion
    You seem to be thinking a lot these days,
    but if you're stressed, or worried,
[18:13] Shion
    whatever you're thinking about,
    please tell me!
[18:16] Rei
    What I'm thinking about now is...
[18:19] Rei
    I want you right now.
[18:23] Rei
    This is so cute, though.
[18:25] Rei
    You came up with this just
    to hide how nervous you are?
[18:27] Shion
    No, I didn't!
[18:29] Rei
    And I already knew you were
    an annoying crybaby from the start.
[18:33] Rei
    The moment we met, you went off on me
    then started bawling in the music room.
[18:38] Rei
    So I was already aware.
[18:39] Rei
    But you know, you're more than that.
[18:42] Rei
    You're always trying your honest best,
[18:45] Rei
    and you're always upfront with people.
    You treat people kindly.
[18:48] Rei
    Maybe you have some weaknesses,
    but I already know a lot of your strengths.
[18:53] Rei
    And I want to know all about the different
    parts of you, so I want to keep watching you.
[18:59] Shion
    Senpai...
[19:03] Rei
    I'm actually a little disappointed.
[19:05] Rei
    I thought you'd be more excited
    about being with me,
[19:08] Rei
    but you don't seem that way at all.
[19:10] Shion
    Huh?
[19:12] Rei
    Don't you want to do it?
[19:14] Shion
    Yes, I do want to.
[19:17] Shion
    I'm just so nervous.
[19:20] Rei
    Really?
[19:22] Shion
    What now? What now?
    I know I've got to do something!
[19:26] Shion
    But what?!
[19:29] Rei
    Don't get so tense.
    You're gonna make me nervous, too.
[19:34] Rei
    You're not as perky as usual
    and it's throwing me off.
[19:37] Shion
    But this seems really easy for you.
[19:40] Shion
    Am I supposed to just be lying here?
[19:44] Rei
    Easy for me? I had to do
    a ton of prep for this.
[19:49] Shion
    Prep?
[19:50] Rei
    First, I cleaned the room.
[19:52] Rei
    Then, I set things up so
    roll call wouldn't interrupt.
[19:55] Rei
    I avoided all of my friends
[19:57] Rei
    and finished dinner and my bath early.
[20:00] Rei
    Then I stretched.
[20:01] Shion
    You really covered every last detail.
[20:04] Rei
    Right?
[20:05] Rei
    I put a lot of work into this.
    So today, trust me and follow my lead.
[20:10] Rei
    Just relax and feel everything.
[20:14] Shion
    Your glasses are so strong.
[20:17] Shion
    Everything's blurry. I can't see at all.
[20:21] Shion
    I feel dizzy. Like I'm drunk.
[20:24] Shion
    What a weird feeling.
[20:34] Shion
    Rei-senpai, what you just said...
    about wanting to keep watching me.
[20:41] Shion
    If that's true, then I want you to promise me
[20:46] Shion
    that you'll never stop looking
    at only me. And loving only me.
[20:52] Shion
    Promise me this is forever.
[20:55] Shion
    I was overwhelmed and it just slipped out.
[20:57] Shion
    Would he be annoyed with me for asking
    for something we could never be sure of?
[21:02] Rei
    You're a really romantic crybaby, Shion.
[21:06] Shion
    He laughed, as if embarrassed,
[21:09] Shion
    and then whispered in my ear, "I promise,"
[21:13] Shion
    and that made me start crying again.
[21:23] Rei
    Do I seem that worried about things?
[21:26] Rei
    Maybe I am.
[21:28] Rei
    Do I go to college or get a job?
    I guess I'm not sure yet.
[21:33] Rei
    Either way, I'll be doing the same thing.
    Just making my films.
[21:40] Rei
    I wasn't sure at first, but while
    I was watching you, Shion,
[21:45] Rei
    I decided to do both.
    I'll go to college and get a job.
[21:50] Rei
    I won't know which is better until I try.
[21:53] Rei
    You're working so hard
    on your films and your love.
[21:56] Rei
    Maybe I can push myself harder, too.
[21:59] Rei
    I am a little worried
    I'll be taking on too much.
[22:04] Rei
    I can be lazy sometimes and
    have a habit of skipping class.
[22:08] Shion
    Senpai...
[22:11] Shion
    You'll be fine.
[22:12] Rei
    Huh?
[22:14] Rei
    You responded to my mumbling in your sleep?
[22:18] Shion
    Yeah.
[22:23] Rei
    You really are fun to watch, you know.
[22:30] Rei
    Now I want your promise.
[22:32] Rei
    Promise you'll always stay
    and never get tired of me, Shion.
[22:36] Shion
    Such a soft, dreamy night.
    What poems shall I pen when I awaken?
[22:42] Shion
    I can't put this feeling into words.
[22:45] Shion
    If anyone asks me about really getting
    a boyfriend, or about my first time,
[22:52] Shion
    I'd have to say neither one
    was at all what I imagined.
[22:57] Shion
    I doubt I could capture it in writing.
[23:00] Shion
    But that's okay. I have a lot
    of other things to write about.
[23:04] Shion
    About our future together,
    about the path ahead of us.
[23:09] Shion
    I could put that into a poem, but
    I'd rather tell you directly when I wake up.
[23:15] Shion
    That as long as we're together,
    we'll never, ever be apart.

[00:01] Shion
    I've gotten used to nights in the dorm.
[00:04] Shion
    There are still a lot of lights on.
[00:07] Shion
    What's everyone still doing
    after lights out?
[00:10] Rei
    All sorts of stuff.
[00:12] Rei
    Watching movies, playing games,
    meeting up, chilling alone.
[00:17] Shion
    I guess so.
[00:18] Shion
    Oh, someone's going out.
    Convenience store, maybe.
[00:23] Shion
    At first, when I could hear
    things like people whispering,
[00:28] Shion
    when I could tell someone was awake,
    that sort of noise really bothered me,
[00:33] Shion
    but now I'm so used to it, I almost enjoy it.
[00:37] Rei
    Wanna go to the store later?
[00:40] Shion
    I've never broken curfew
    and gone out at night.
[00:43] Rei
    Seriously? You're such a pure first-year.
[00:45] Shion
    Oh, be quiet. I'm a good person
    for following the rules.
[00:48] Shion
    But if a bad senpai wanted to take me,
    I wouldn't mind going.
[00:51] Rei
    Hi, I'm a bad senpai.
[00:56] Shion
    I hope he finishes his work soon.
[01:00] Shion
    I don't actually care about the store.
[01:02] Shion
    I just want him to say, "Come over here"
    before I get too tired.
[01:06] Shion
    That's how my evening's going, anyway.
[01:09] Shion
    I wonder how everyone else
    is spending their night.

[02:46] Drama Club Member
    You there, Otomo? There's a change
    in the script we gave you today.
[02:52] Mao
    The drama club seems busy recently.
    They keep coming to talk to Hisashi.
[02:59] Hisashi
    I hate it when they show
    up here, to be honest.
[03:02] Hisashi
    If something's up, they should just email me.
[03:05] Hisashi
    When they ask me out to eat and stuff
    it's kind of... not my thing.
[03:10] Mao
    You're never going to avoid that in a dorm!
[03:13] Mao
    You never eat with your club?
[03:14] Hisashi
    Not like the film club did. The senpai
    kept inviting you to eat with them.
[03:19] Hisashi
    They were always calling, "Mao, Mao."
[03:22] Mao
    That's because there was another Tsuchiya
    in third year. It didn't mean anything.
[03:27] Hisashi
    That may be true,
[03:28] Hisashi
    but when I think back on it,
    it made me a little jealous. Maybe.
[03:34] Mao
    Huh?
[03:35] Mao
    Oh, yeah. It was right around
    then in my first year when...
[03:40] (Flashback) Mao
    Otomo.
[03:42] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Huh?
[03:43] (Flashback) Mao
    My film club senpai are taking me out
    for yakiniku. Wanna come with?
[03:48] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Nah, I'm good.
[03:51] (Flashback) Mao
    Oh, okay. See you later then.
[03:55] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Mao.
[03:59] Mao
    Did he just call me "Mao"?
[04:05] (Flashback) Hisashi
    See you later.
[04:06] Mao
    It sounded like he wanted me to stay.
[04:10] (Flashback) Mao
    I-I'll try to come back early, okay?
[04:14] (Flashback) Mao
    Hisashi.
[04:16] Mao
    That's when we started
    using our given names.
[04:22] Mao
    But I couldn't get over "Hisashi." I kept
    imagining a lost dog stuck in the rain.
[04:27] Hisashi
    Mao, what's up?
[04:29] Mao
    Nothing. I'm just glad you're
    a happy, dry dog now.
[04:33] Hisashi
    A dry dog?
[04:36] Hisashi
    Oh, come on, Mao.
[04:39] Hisashi
    That's gotta mean something weird.
[04:42] Mao
    It doesn't mean anything, Hisashi.
[04:44] Mao
    Anyway, I'll call your name,
    so please look at me and smile.
[04:48] Mao
    You can call my name, too. Forever and ever.

[05:30] Giichi
    This manga is a masterpiece among

    All of the characters' lives

    Okay, I'm heading home.
    Good luck studying for exams.
[05:54] Jin
    Huh? Hey, wait a second!
[05:58] Giichi
    What? I did what you asked.
[05:59] Jin
    Yeah, I know! I did ask you
    to bring me the BL manga.
[06:03] Jin
    But that was just an excuse. Obviously,
    I did that because I wanted to see you.
[06:10] Giichi
    Well, I did, too. With exams coming up,
    I've been trying to keep my distance.
[06:17] Giichi
    But I want to see you as much as I can.
[06:25] Jin
    Giichi.
[06:33] Jin
    I wish I could take you
    to my room right now.
[06:37] Giichi
    We'd better not.
    I don't want to distract you.
[06:41] Giichi
    And I don't want anyone from the club
    to see me. Especially the younger guys.
[06:45] Jin
    I guess you're right, Mister President.
    That wouldn't set a very good example.
[06:49] Jin
    I can understand.
[06:55] Jin
    I'll walk you to the park.
[06:57] Giichi
    Mm-hmm.
[07:03] Jin
    Thanks for coming, though. Are you cold?
[07:06] Giichi
    I'm fine.

    But Jin, call me anytime.
    I'll come running to see you.

    What's up? Did you finish your work?
[07:25] Rei
    Yeah. Wanna go to the store?
[07:29] Shion
    No, I'm good.
[07:35] Rei
    I must really bore you.
[07:38] Shion
    Huh?
[07:40] Rei
    All I do is work. I'm sorry, okay?
[07:47] Shion
    Oh, wow. He's worried about that?
[07:50] Shion
    "I'm sorry, okay?" How adorable.
[07:55] Shion
    But has he started caring more...
    because we're together now?
[08:02] Shion
    Rei-senpai, I've never once
    thought you were boring.
[08:07] Shion
    I actually like watching you work.
[08:11] Rei
    Thanks. I appreciate you
    telling me that, Shion.
[08:16] Shion
    Senpai, turn this way.
[08:21] Shion
    I wonder how is everyone else
    spending their night.
[08:27] Shion
    I hope it's a night overflowing with love.
[08:31] Shion
    Silly as that sounds.
[08:38] Hisashi
    You're always filming, huh?
[08:39] Mao
    Yeah. I don't really use them for anything,
    though. A record of things?
[08:44] Hisashi
    Oh, is that...?
[08:51] Mao
    We made a promise.
[08:52] Hisashi
    We sure did. But we did
    a lot of stuff after that.
[08:57] Hisashi
    What was the most
    unforgettable part for you, Mao?
[08:59] Mao
    Huh? Hmm...
[09:02] Mao
    There's a lot of stuff. Maybe the beach?
[09:07] Hisashi
    Same here.
[09:09] Mao
    I've got the video from then.
[09:22] Hisashi
    Mao...
[09:24] Mao
    Hisashi... Sorry, did I wake you up?
[09:29] Hisashi
    It's too early. It isn't even six.
[09:33] Hisashi
    Come back to bed.
[09:35] Mao
    Mm-hmm.

    What were you doing?

    Well,
[11:05] (Flashback) Giichi
    as of the screening at the school festival,
    our movie is now completed.
[11:10] (Flashback) Giichi
    Unfortunately, our film failed because the

[11:16] (Flashback) Giichi
    But I refuse to believe that we lost.

    I thought they'd make fun of it being BL.
[11:52] (Flashback) Hisashi
    But everyone watched it really intently.
[11:56] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I don't think anyone laughed
    during the kiss scene.
[11:59] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I guess that means our
    club did a killer job.

    Hisashi never talks like this.

    I absolutely did not want to
    lose to the third-years!

[12:34] Mao
    I never could have imagined that before.
[12:38] Mao
    Ah! We're gonna be late!
    And we haven't eaten breakfast.
[12:41] Mao
    Hisashi, you ready yet?
    Don't you have morning practice?
[12:46] Hisashi
    Hmm? I'll make it if I run.
[12:49] Hisashi
    Is the film club meeting in the morning?
    Even though we just got back from vacation?
[12:53] Hisashi
    Didn't you have a meeting yesterday, too?
[12:55] Mao
    We just checked in yesterday.
[12:57] Mao
    I have to go this morning to check the gear.
[13:00] Mao
    Let's go. Get running.
[13:02] Hisashi
    Oh. Hold on, Mao.
[13:09] Hisashi
    Suddenly I don't feel like going.
[13:12] Hisashi
    I'd rather skip and
    screw around with you here.
[13:15] Mao
    No skipping!
[13:17] Mao
    Regular classes start today, and we have
    to begin work on our new movie.
[13:21] Mao
    Snap out of it. Vacation is over.
[13:24] Hisashi
    Fine. I guess I'll be a good boy
    and go to club.
[13:27] Mao
    Run, Hisashi! You'll be late!

    Mao, you going home for Obon?
[13:53] (Flashback) Mao
    Yeah, just for Obon. My parents
    keep telling me to come visit.
[13:57] (Flashback) Mao
    You, Hisashi?
[14:02] Mao
    I really like Hisashi.
    I like him more and more.
[14:06] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Mao, what's wrong? Want another?
[14:10] Mao
    I'm so happy when we're together.
    He makes my heart tingle.
[14:14] Mao
    I'd do anything for him.
[14:16] Mao
    No, wait... isn't he doing everything for me?

[14:32] Mao
    This morning, I surrendered to Hisashi's

[14:38] Mao
    It might be because I'm still new to this
    and Hisashi is used to it...
[14:43] Mao
    but I don't like it.
[14:46] Mao
    Even I sometimes want to take the lead
    and, you know, do naughty stuff to him!

    Just leave this one to me.

    Wait, we've already got over 50 views?
[15:17] Mao
    They're probably all from Ichikawa
    watching it over and over.
[15:20] Runa
    Likely.
[15:22] Giichi
    Shut up. I've only watched it about 20 times.
[15:24] Mao
    Oh.
[15:26] Mao
    Go ahead without me.
[15:28] Mao
    I have to go to the teachers' lounge
    and turn in my career path plan.
[15:30] Runa
    Weren't you supposed to turn
    that in before vacation?
[15:33] Mao
    Yeah, but my parents were overseas
    and I couldn't get them to stamp it.
[15:37] Runa
    Oh, makes sense. See ya later.
[15:40] Mao
    My career path. This still
    doesn't really feel real.
[15:45] Mao
    After the school festival, where we lost,
    the third-years retired from the club.
[15:49] Mao
    Ichikawa became president.
    Vacation went by in a flash.
[15:54] Mao
    Soon, we'll change uniforms for fall.
    My third year is staring me right in the face.
[16:00] Mao
    Then what comes next for me?
    And for Hisashi?
[16:09] Mao
    Oh, Hisashi!
[16:10] Hisashi
    Mao!
[16:11] Yukitaka
    Hi there, Tsuchiya-kun.
[16:13] Mao
    Oh, hi. Are you both going to
    morning practice now?
[16:16] Hisashi
    Yeah. We just did a lap around the school
    and are headed to the gym for rehearsal.
[16:21] Hisashi
    And you, Mao? Off to club?
[16:23] Mao
    I have to stop by the teachers' lounge first.
[16:25] Mao
    Got to give the homeroom teacher my plan.
[16:28] Hisashi
    For your career path?
    You never told me about that.
[16:32] Mao
    Oh, I didn't? I want to go to
    a college with a film program.
[16:37] Mao
    I decided to try for the same
    place as Ichikawa and the guys.
[16:40] Hisashi
    So you're all taking the same entrance exam.
[16:42] Mao
    Y-Yeah.
[16:43] Yukitaka
    You two seem quite close.
[16:46] Hisashi
    Yeah, of course we're close.
    We're roommates.
[16:49] Mao
    Ho—!
[16:50] Yukitaka
    My, oh my.
[16:52] Hisashi
    Right, Mao?
[16:54] Mao
    It'll be worse for you
    if we get caught, Hisashi!
[16:57] Yukitaka
    You do seem...
[16:59] Yukitaka
    like a very intimate couple, so...
[17:01] Mao
    Yeah, we're roommates!
[17:02] Mao
    When you live with someone,
    you get pretty close!
[17:05] Yukitaka
    Hmm.
[17:07] Yukitaka
    Well then, I'd better get going.
[17:10] Mao
    Hisashi, get a move on.
    You'll get in trouble.
[17:13] Hisashi
    Huh?
[17:14] Hisashi
    Mao, gimme a piggyback ride. I'm exhausted.
[17:19] Mao
    I'm just figuring this out, but Hisashi
    gets clingy like this when he's lonely,
[17:25] Mao
    and when it seems like
    he's been pushing too hard.
[17:27] Mao
    Hisashi...
[17:28] Hisashi
    Kidding, kidding. I'll get going.
[17:31] Hisashi
    It's pretty close. The third-years
    are gonna kill me.
[17:34] Mao
    Or maybe I'm the one who's lonely.
[17:36] Hisashi
    Okay, see you later.
[17:39] Mao
    Yeah, see you.
[17:41] Mao
    It feels like the drama club
    captured Hisashi.
[17:43] Mao
    He's becoming closer friends with Honjo.
[17:46] Mao
    I am glad he's opening himself to the world
    a little. I want him to expand his horizons.
[17:52] Mao
    I want him to keep going forward.
[17:55] Mao
    But right now, all I want is
    for him to turn around.
[18:00] Mao
    And that doesn't feel right.
[18:05] Mao
    Hmm?
[18:09] Mao
    Uh, wh-what's wrong?
[18:11] Hisashi
    Sorry. Let me recharge a little?
[18:16] Mao
    And again, Hisashi gives me what I want
    before I know I want it.
[18:21] Mao
    H-Hisashi.
[18:24] Hisashi
    Hmm?
[18:25] Mao
    Good luck today!
[18:27] Hisashi
    You too, Mao.
[18:28] Mao
    If only I could make him happy too,
[18:32] Mao
    with words or actions or things,
    in my own way,
[18:37] Mao
    then maybe I'd be able to show him
    how much I really like him.
[18:42] Mao
    I wish I could find a way
    to be more like Hisashi.
SIGN    You and the Seasons, etc...

    Oh. Mao's all fired up.

    He's got a crazy look in his eyes.
    What happened to him?
[19:09] Mao
    Step by step,
[19:11] Mao
    or even if I take three steps forward and
    two back, I need to move ahead every day.
[19:17] Mao
    You can't usually take a
    giant leap forward all at once.
[19:21] Mao
    Even though I'm actually not positive
    which way is forward, I've got to try.
[19:52] Runa
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

[20:14] Giichi
    M-My time has finally come!
[20:17] Runa
    Well, it's a lot less than
    most things that really go viral.
[20:22] Runa
    But y'know, when most Midorigaoka High Film
    Club channel vids don't even hit 1,000 views,
[20:28] Runa
    these numbers are really impressive!
[20:30] Yukitaka
    Would you look at that.
[20:32] Hisashi
    Is this why they called us here?
[20:35] Mao
    Whoa. I can see the view count
    go up in real time.
[20:39] Mao
    What could have happened?
[20:40] Runa
    Look. This post seems
    to be the epicenter.
SIGN    this movie I found lol

[20:55] Mao
    They're sharing his picture online?
    Is that okay?
SIGN    Super hot angle
[20:59] Hisashi
    Hmm. Not much we can do.
SIGN    Lead actor of a BL film shot by high schoolers...
[21:01] Hisashi
    It's on the drama club homepage, anyway.
[21:03] Yukitaka
    It's standard practice to put up
    headshots with real names.
SIGN    This image is a confirmed keeper. A treasure~
[21:06] Yukitaka
    I guess it's the same thing
    they do for sports events.
[21:10] Mao
    Oh, no kidding.
[21:11] Runa
    So, here's the main issue. We got
    several inquiries about the movie.
[21:17] Giichi
    What's that?
    Like invitations to film festivals?
SIGN    We want him as a salesboy for our doujin circle.
[21:20] Runa
    "We want him as a salesboy
    for our doujin club."
[21:23] Giichi
    Nothing to do with the film. Turn it down.
SIGN    My name is N and I run a BL research blog.
     I want to interview you.
[21:25] Runa
    "My name is N and I run a BL research blog.
    I want to interview you."
[21:30] Giichi
    Also irrelevant. Turn them down. Next.
SIGN    I want you to pose for a painting.
[21:32] Runa
    "I want you to pose for a painting."
SIGN    Would you like to be a hair model?
[21:34] Runa
    "Would you like to be a hair model?"
SIGN    Do you want a job at my store?
[21:36] Runa
    "Do you want a job at my store?"
[21:38] Mao
    They're all for Hisashi, aren't they?
[21:40] Hisashi
    I'm not interested at all.
[21:41] Giichi
    What the hell?! They're all about Otomo!
[21:44] Giichi
    Is that it? No reviews?
[21:46] Runa
    There's one message left. This one's a

    Midorigaoka High School Film
    Club members, nice to meet you.
[21:55] Student 1
    We're from the Tarumae
    University pop music club.
[21:59] Student 1
    We're in a band called Blue Frame Out.
[22:01] Members
    Yeah!
[22:03] Student 1
    We watched your movie.
    It was very good. Right?
[22:07] Student 2
    Yeah. Romantic and melancholy.
[22:10] Student 2
    The story was great.
    And the lighting was impressive.
[22:14] Student 3
    Yeah, yeah. That sunset scene
    was really memorable.
[22:17] Student 1
    We were very impressed that
    high school students made this,
[22:21] Student 1
    so we decided to ask if you'd be
    willing to shoot our music video.
[22:26] Student 1
    Especially because of your actor Otomo-san.
[22:28] Student 1
    He fits the image of one
    of our songs perfectly.
[22:31] Student 1
    We'd be thrilled if he acted for us.
[22:33] Student 2
    If you don't mind, please take a listen.
[22:39] Giichi
    Kagari, go get permission from our advisor.
[22:41] Runa
    Roger!
[22:43] Giichi
    Mao, get the camera crew ready.
[22:45] Giichi
    Use as few people as you can.
[22:47] Mao
    Got it.
[22:50] Giichi
    Well then, I guess this is your second offer.
[22:53] Giichi
    Otomo, would you be willing to act in
    my movie? This time as the sole lead.
[23:00] Giichi
    Those guys really want you, but I was also
    hoping for another chance to work with you.
[23:07] Giichi
    What do you think?
[23:09] Hisashi
    I don't think I'm up to it yet.
    Honjo would do a way better job.

    Should I ask why he turned it down?
[00:58] Mao
    If it was me, I wouldn't want to be asked.
[01:02] Mao
    But he's obviously depressed and
    I still haven't done anything for him.
[01:08] Mao
    I'm always the passive one. Always
    swept off my feet. I hate myself for it.
[01:12] Mao

[03:59] Hisashi

    But I did get a bunch of happy movies.
[04:02] Mao
    Like this one about a princess

[04:10] Hisashi
    You aren't useless.
[04:12] Hisashi
    I'm the useless one, turning down the

[04:18] Mao
    Hisashi...
[04:19] Hisashi
    I'm not confident enough.
[04:23] Hisashi
    Before, I was able to push through it,
[04:25] Hisashi
    but this time is different.
    I can't play the lead role.
[04:29] Hisashi
    The drama club is full of
    way better actors than me.
[04:32] Hisashi
    I know how bad I am.
    I've got a long way to go.
[04:36] Hisashi
    Do you really want to film me like this?
[04:41] Hisashi

[04:54] Hisashi
    and I think about how much better
    I could read these lines now.
[04:57] Hisashi
    Like this part. "Do you think
    you might actually be into me?"
[05:01] Hisashi
    Deep inside, Otomo really likes him, so it
    must've taken a lot of courage to say that.
[05:08] Hisashi
    So more like...
[05:11] Hisashi
    Mao?
[05:13] Mao
    Can I record this? Like I did before?
[05:17] Mao
    Keep reading the lines.
[05:19] Hisashi
    From where?
[05:20] Mao
    One line back, from "I didn't
    know you were still here."
[05:24] Hisashi
    "I didn't know you were
    still here, Class President."
[05:28] Mao
    It's the same composition,
    the same lines as before,
[05:35] Mao
    but to me, he seems to shine brighter now.
[05:39] Mao
    I can't take my eyes off him.
[05:41] Mao
    I want to keep the camera
    rolling a little longer.
[05:45] Hisashi
    Do you think you might actually be into me?
[05:48] Mao
    Yeah.
[05:50] Mao
    I'm totally into you, Hisashi.
[05:54] Hisashi
    Mao...
[05:55] Mao
    So sometimes I totally
    lose confidence in myself.
[05:59] Mao
    It's my first time dating someone and all.
[06:02] Mao
    I'm not a very considerate boyfriend.
    All I ever do is talk about movies.
[06:07] Mao
    And sex, too. I never initiate anything.
    I'm totally useless.
[06:14] Mao
    I make you do everything.
[06:16] Hisashi
    Huh?
[06:17] Mao
    But I mean, nobody knows
     what to do at first, right?
[06:20] Mao
    We're beginners, but we'll get better.
[06:24] Mao
    Maybe.
[06:28] Mao
    Both your acting and my
    boyfriendliness... maybe.
[06:32] Hisashi
    "Boyfriendliness"?
[06:34] Mao
    And they don't just want any good actor. 
    They want you, Hisashi.
[06:41] Mao
    So do those guys in that music club,
    so does the director... so do I.
[06:47] Mao
    I mean, when someone shines on camera
    like this, I want to film them.
[06:52] Mao
    So... let me film you, Hisashi!
[06:56] Mao
    Nobody else can capture you better
    than I can. That much, I'm sure of!
[07:02] Hisashi
    Getting a little pushy, huh?
[07:07] Mao
    That's right.
[07:12] Mao
    Just leave this one to me.
[07:16] Mao
    You're laughing?
[07:17] Hisashi
    I mean, it's so obvious you're trying
    to start something naughty.
[07:22] Hisashi
    It's so cute!
[07:23] Mao
    Yeah, that's right. I'm coming on to you.
[07:28] Hisashi
    You're coming on to me.
    Okay, so what's your next move?
[07:34] Hisashi
    You're doing it to me, right?
    Something naughty?
[07:45] Mao
    I'm taking off your shirt.
[07:48] Hisashi
    Hey, Mao. Touch me.
[07:50] Mao
    Y-Yeah, okay.
[07:54] Hisashi
    Not like that. Up here.
[07:56] Mao
    Okay.
[08:01] Hisashi
    That tickles, Mao!
[08:04] Hisashi
    Mao, lift up your shirt.
[08:10] Hisashi
    This is how you do it.
[08:14] Mao
    H-Hisashi's hand is so cold!
[08:21] Mao
    I get turned on so easy. Sorry.
[08:26] Hisashi
    Why are you apologizing?
[08:28] Hisashi
    You know, Mao, you say
    that you don't do anything,
[08:32] Hisashi
    but you're actually really
    aggressive and kinky.
[08:35] Hisashi
    Even right now, you're trying
    to tempt me, aren't you?
[08:41] Mao
    Well, I...
[08:44] Mao
    I can't help myself.
[09:03] Mao
    Hisashi, Hisashi...
[09:06] Mao
    I'm gonna...!
[09:10] Hisashi
    Go ahead. I'll take all of you.
[09:21] students
    See you!
[09:22] students
    Later!
[09:23] students
    I'm so hungry!
[09:26] Mao
    Is school over now?
[09:28] Hisashi
    I can hear voices.
[09:31] Hisashi
    You sleepy, Mao?
[09:32] Mao
    I'm fine.
[09:34] Hisashi
    When you graduate, Mao,
    will you move back home?
[09:38] Hisashi
    Or go somewhere farther away?
[09:40] Mao
    I don't know yet.
[09:42] Mao
    There is one college near
    my home that I'm looking at.
[09:46] Mao
    But I can't decide by myself.
    I need to get some advice
[09:50] Mao
    from my parents, Ichikawa and the guys,
    and of course you, Hisashi.
[09:54] Hisashi
    Me?
[09:55] Mao
    Huh? Well, yeah. We're dating, right?
[10:00] Hisashi
    Yeah.
[10:02] Mao
    What are your plans after graduation?
    For a career path?
[10:05] Hisashi
    I'm not going to college. I want
    to hurry and live on my own.
[10:10] Hisashi
    I'll get a job somewhere.
    Doesn't matter what.
[10:13] Mao
    And acting? Will you keep acting?
[10:17] Hisashi
    If I do, will you keep me around?
[10:20] Mao
    Huh?
[10:21] Hisashi
    Kidding. It's a joke. But I don't know...
[10:25] Mao
    Hisashi...
[10:27] Hisashi
    I'm kinda nervous about you
    going to college, me getting a job...
[10:32] Hisashi
    We're going separate ways.
[10:35] Hisashi
    When your environment changes like that,
    you meet new people, you live in a new place.
[10:40] Hisashi
    It's pretty common for people to break up
    over little changes like that, and—
[10:44] Mao
    We're not breaking up.
[10:48] Mao
    You don't get to decide that.
[10:50] Mao
    Who cares if it's common?
    We're talking about us.
[10:56] Hisashi
    I love it when you get like this, Mao.
[10:59] Mao
    I'm being totally serious.
[11:03] Hisashi
    I'm sorry for testing you.
[11:06] Hisashi
    But still, after all the time we spent in
    this room, when I think about moving out...
[11:13] Mao
    "I get scared," I could hear him whisper.
    That made me a little scared, too.
[11:19] Hisashi
    Sometimes I wish destiny was real.
    That we were connected by a red thread.
[11:25] Mao
    A red thread?
[11:27] Hisashi
    Yeah. You never heard of the red thread?
[11:30] Hisashi
    They say it connects you to
    the person you're destined to be with.
[11:34] Mao
    Yeah, I know. You look sleepy, Hisashi.
[11:38] Hisashi
    If that was real, then we would be able to
    stay together forever, no matter what.
[11:48] Mao
    Hisashi was cautious, maybe even a little
    timid, because he'd been hurt before.
[11:57] Mao
    When I think about that,
    I get this sharp pain in my heart.
[12:02] Mao
    I want to comfort him, but it's not like
    I'm holding his destiny in my hands.
[12:07] Mao
    But there must still be
    something I can do for him now.
[12:17] Mao
    I want to give Hisashi true happiness.

    Second-year film club, Ichikawa crew.
    I'm passing out your tickets.
[12:43] Kojima
    Line up here.
[12:45] member
    Morning.
[12:45] Runa
    Anyone forget your storyboards?
    I've got extras, so just ask.
[12:46] member
    It's so hot!
[12:47] member
    Perfect weather!
[12:52] Member 1
    I hear Ichikawa and the camera crew
    already shot the band's performance?
[12:55] Mao
    Yeah. We went to their college for that.
    We already uploaded the footage.
SIGN    Midorigaoka
[13:05] Giichi
    Otomo.
[13:08] Giichi
    Thank you for agreeing to do this.
[13:10] Hisashi
    Sure.
[13:11] Giichi
    I know how this sounds, but no other
    director can film you the way that I do!
[13:16] Hisashi
    I feel like I've heard that a lot recently.
[13:19] Giichi
    Just relax and let me shoot you.
[13:22] Runa
    The train's here!
[13:33] Giichi
    Let's go over the shooting plan
    and schedule again.
SIGN    Beach
    Man standing
SIGN    Ocean
SIGN    Runs down shoreline
     as fast as he can
SIGN    Close-up
[13:37] Giichi
    The setting is a beach. First we'll
    film him running along the shoreline,
SIGN    Man standing with
     back to sunset
    Red balloons all around
[13:41] Giichi
    then we shoot him falling into the ocean.
SIGN    Eventually
SIGN    falls backward
     into water
SIGN    Makes a huge splash
[13:44] Giichi
    We have two hours.
[13:46] Giichi
    Our advisor talked to the manager
    and got us permission for two hours.
[13:50] Giichi
    So it's going to be a pretty tight shoot.
[13:53] Giichi
    Each unit needs to be on
     their toes. That's all.
[13:56] Member 1
    One take. Does that mean we only
    have one chance to nail each shot?
[14:00] Member 2
    Oof. There's no time and
    there's only one costume.
[14:04] Member 2
    That's tough. Once that gets wet, it's over.
[14:07] Member 3
    One take? There's no room
    for mistakes. We gonna be okay?
[14:11] Member 4
    Ooh, the ocean!
[14:13] member
    Whoa!
[14:13] member
    So pretty!
[14:14] member
    Oh, man!
[14:34] Runa
    Announcement from the art crew.
[14:36] Runa
    In the last scene, we'll have red
    balloons floating in the water.
[14:40] Runa
    Of course, we can't leave
    a single piece of garbage,
[14:44] Runa
    so when we're done, we have to
    collect absolutely everything.
[14:48] Member 1
    Question. Won't they all float away?
    Balloons are really light.
[14:52] Runa
    Right, right.
SIGN    Stone for Weight
[14:54] Runa
    So the art crew came up with this.
SIGN    Red Thread
     So It’s Easy to Spot
[14:57] Runa
    They're tied on with a red string
    that's easy to see.
SIGN    Red Balloon
[15:00] Runa
    There's still a good chance they could
    float away, so as soon as we hear "cut,"
[15:05] Runa
    everyone please run
    in the water to grab them.
[15:07] members
    Sure.
[15:08] members
    Got it.
[15:13] Mao
    Hisashi.
[15:15] Mao
    You got changed?
[15:16] Hisashi
    Mao.
[15:17] Mao
    Hi.
[15:19] Mao
    You look great in a suit.
[15:23] Mao
    Let's do our best.
[15:26] Hisashi
    Mm-hmm.
[15:27] Giichi
    Okay! Let's get started.
[15:30] Runa
    We're starting!
[15:33] Giichi
    Everyone ready?
[15:36] Giichi
    Action!
[15:41] Mao
    Scene one. Beach.
[15:43] Mao
    Man runs along the shoreline
    with all his strength.
[15:50] Mao
    He's staring straight ahead.
[15:59] Mao
    Though the man sometimes stumbles
    in the sand and loses balance,
[16:03] Mao
    he keeps running toward
    something, as fast as he can.
[16:06] Giichi
    Cut!
[16:20] Runa
    Looks okay!
[16:21] Giichi
    Okay!
[16:30] Runa
    Move to the next setup!
[16:33] Runa
    Art crew, everything ready?
[16:38] Giichi
    Mao, are you ready?
    We only have one shot at this.
[16:43] Mao
    Yeah, I'm good anytime.
[16:45] Giichi
    Okay.
[16:47] Mao
    The shoot is almost over.
[16:50] Giichi
    Everyone ready!
[16:55] Giichi
    Action!
[16:56] Mao
    How much longer will things stay like this?
[17:00] Mao
    Summer will end, eventually winter comes,
    and then spring will come again.
[17:03] Mao
    It will seem the same,
    but it will be a different spring.
[17:07] Mao
    How many more shots, how many
    more takes can I film like this,
[17:12] Mao
    with Hisashi?
[17:15] Mao
    And how many more times can I experience
    these moments with everyone?
[17:23] Mao
    I wish it would last forever.
[17:28] Giichi
    Cut! Okay, clean it up!
[17:37] Mao
    Hey, Hisashi...
[17:39] Hisashi
    Hmm?
[17:41] Mao
    After we graduate, let's live together.
[17:43] Mao
    I can't control destiny, but I can
    make you a promise. Let's live together.
[17:49] Mao
    Maybe this can become something
    like a sign to show us the way.
[17:54] Mao
    It may not be destiny,
    but I want to spend every second with you.
[17:59] Hisashi
    Hey, Mao. I seriously
    want to kiss you right now.
[18:03] Mao
    Huh? But that...!
[18:05] Hisashi
    But I won't.
[18:07] Hisashi
    I'm the lead, so I need to stay in character
    until the shoot is over. Right?
[18:17] Mao
    Okay. Should we make
    new promises about our goals?
[18:21] Hisashi
    Promises? Are we gonna
    make three more like before?
[18:25] Mao
    I guess so.
[18:28] Mao
    First, for me with the camera and you with
    your acting, we both keep trying to improve.
[18:34] Mao
    Second, I, Tsuchiya Mao, will continue living
    with you, Otomo Hisashi, after we graduate.
[18:41] Hisashi
    And the third one?
[18:43] Mao
    I-I love you?
[18:47] Hisashi
    That isn't even a promise.
[18:51] Hisashi
    I love you, too.
[18:55] Runa
    What?
[18:56] Runa
    Seriously?! One's missing?!
    We didn't find them all?!
[19:00] Member 1
    We have all the balloons and rocks.
    We're missing one string!
[19:03] Member 2
    Keep looking! It's red, a red string!
    It should stand out because it's red!
[19:07] Member 3
    Where could it be?
[19:09] Member 4
    If we don't hurry, it's gonna get dark.
[19:12] Runa
    Hey, Mao! Give us a hand.
[19:15] Runa
    Put the camera down and help!
[19:16] Mao
    O-Okay, I'm coming!
[19:18] Runa
    Hey, see something flittering
    over there? Is that...
[19:22] Giichi
    Oh.
[19:23] Mao
    Huh?
[19:26] Runa
    That's the red thread we're looking for!
[19:31] all
    Huh...
SIGN    Twilight Out of Focus
SIGN    Twilight Out of Focus
[21:13] Mao
    We finished the music video
[21:15] Mao
    and they seemed to like it,
    so we already got another offer.
[21:20] Giichi
    We've got another offer!
[21:22] Giichi
    If you read the lyrics, you'll see that
    the motif for this one is the sky.
[21:27] Giichi
    Setting will be the school rooftop. Otomo
    will wear the same black suit as before.
[21:32] Hisashi
    I'm already in this?
[21:34] Giichi
    You push your way through
    a crowd to get to the roof.
[21:37] Giichi
    I want about 100 extras.
[21:40] Runa
    And who's supposed to
    gather all those extras, huh?
[21:43] Mao
    Wanna read the lyrics, Hisashi?
[21:45] Hisashi
    Yeah. Let's see.
[21:50] Giichi
    You two aren't dating by any chance, are you?
[21:55] Runa
    Hey, I was wondering that, too!
[21:58] Runa
    In that still from the last shoot,
    you totally looked like a couple.
[22:02] Giichi
    Oh. Nice picture!
[22:05] Mao
    What now?
[22:07] Mao
    I know Hisashi wants to keep it a secret.
    I can't be the one to tell.
[22:11] Mao
    But still...
[22:14] Mao
    It must be totally obvious at this point.
[22:18] Mao
    What can I tell them?
[22:22] Mao
    U-Uh, it's actually...
[22:24] Runa
    Oh crap. Looks like that was a bad question.
[22:27] Teru
    And who exactly asked it?
[22:29] Giichi
    That's on me. I'm sorry.
[22:35] Hisashi
    Yeah, we're dating.
[22:44] Mao
    Was it okay to tell them?
    I thought you wanted to keep it a secret.
[22:48] Hisashi
    Well, yeah, I did.
    But if it's your friends...
[22:55] Hisashi
    I mean, I guess it's okay
    if the film club knows.
[22:58] Mao
    The film club?
[23:00] Hisashi
    It looked like you were about to say it
     anyway. Didn't you want to tell them?
[23:05] Mao
    I kinda do want to tell
    my friends about you, Hisashi.
[23:10] Mao
    That you're such a wonderful boyfriend.
[23:14] Giichi
    Hey, you two over there!
[23:18] Giichi
    Do you want to go check out
    the roof for the next shoot?
[23:23] Runa
    Did we interrupt something? Tee-hee.
[23:26] Mao
    What do you mean, interrupt—
[23:27] Hisashi
    Yeah, and things were
    just starting to get good.
