[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.

    I left it at the park.

[05:07] Jin
    Thanks. I could use a break.
[05:11] Giichi

[05:27] Giichi
    But nay, hear me now!
[05:30] Giichi
    This manga is a masterpiece among
    masterpieces, overflowing with realism!
[05:34] Giichi
    All of the characters' lives
     are full of suffering.
[05:37] Giichi
    Yes, you may fall into the depths of despair,
    and you will end the story in tears,
[05:42] Giichi
    but you will nonetheless feel fulfilled!

[05:51] Giichi
    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.
[07:07] Giichi
    But Jin, call me anytime.
    I'll come running to see you.

[07:22] Shion
    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.
[09:38] Hisashi
    What were you doing?
[09:40] Mao
    Updating the film club channel.
    I was uploading the completed films.
[09:45] Hisashi
    We have one of those?
    You upload my movie, too?
[09:48] Mao
    Yeah. I was just uploading
    You and the Seasons, etc...
[09:52] Mao
    Hisashi... hey! Where is your hand going?
[09:56] Mao
    A-Ah! Hisashi! Hisashi, stop!
[10:01] Hisashi
    Don't want to? Not in the mood?
[10:04] Mao
    That's not it...
[10:09] Mao
    But we did it so much last night.
[10:15] Hisashi
    Well, when you make a face
    like that, I can't help myself.
[10:20] Mao
    Wha— Hey, wait!

    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
    viewers were blind as bats and just as dumb.
[11:16] (Flashback) Giichi
    But I refuse to believe that we lost.
    There's no way we could lose!

    This doesn't change the fact

[11:44] (Flashback) Hisashi
    Huh? Oh. Well...
[11:48] (Flashback) Hisashi
    I thought people would laugh at us.
    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.
[12:01] (Flashback) Mao
    Hisashi never talks like this.
[12:04] (Flashback) Hisashi
    So next time, let's give it
    our best shot... I guess?
[12:08] (Flashback) Yukitaka
    Is that a question?
[12:11] (Flashback) Giichi
    Thank you, Otomo. But you know what?
[12:14] (Flashback) Giichi
    I absolutely did not want to
    lose to the third-years!
[12:19] (Flashback) Giichi
    No, I refuse to accept that we lost!

    Shut up! Take it like a man and
    get to work on the next movie!

    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.

    Suddenly I don't feel like going.

    I'd rather skip and
    screw around with you here.

    I decided to try for the same

    So you're all taking the same entrance exam.

    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.

    Yeah, see you.

    I am glad he's opening himself to the world
    a little. I want him to expand his horizons.

    I want him to keep going forward.

[18:53] Member 2
    He's so full of himself.
[18:55] Member 3
    Nah, hell no.
[18:59] Mao
    First, I've got to man up.
[19:02] Mao
    I'm ready to go!
[19:03] Giichi
    Oh. Mao's all fired up.
[19:05] Runa
    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!
[19:55] Runa
    Hey, guys!
[19:57] Runa
    We're going viral!
[19:59] Runa
    You and the Seasons, etc...! It's going viral!
[20:03] Mao
    Huh?
[20:03] Hisashi
    Huh?
[20:03] Giichi
    Huh?
[20:05] Giichi
    Yeah, it's going viral.
SIGN    378,224 Views
[20:08] Runa
    Right?
[20:09] Member 1
    The view count's going way up.
[20:11] Member 2
    But why? Did it get boosted somewhere?
[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
[20:44] Runa
    A female BL fan shared it with her friends,
    and they got excited because
SIGN    really nice
SIGN    How'd they make a BL
SIGN    Otomo's face is
SIGN    looks too much like him (>_<);
SIGN    such a good story I cried TT
[20:47] Runa
    Otomo looks like some idol or actor
    or something, that spread everywhere,
SIGN    If Otomo-kun
    and if they
    then maybe
SIGN    Huh? Wait... this totally looks
     like my fave but????
SIGN    The leads' expressions are so gr8
SIGN    want them to be happy
SIGN    This movie made me so happy~
SIGN    ...hit it out of the park!!
[20:53] Runa
    and now it has 20,000 likes!
[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
    video letter, so let's watch it together.
[21:52] Student 1
    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.
