**[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.*
