    That news flash script
    I gave you was a page short!
[00:32] Kei
    That's all right.
[00:33] Kei
    The show still went on just fine.
[00:36] Kei
    It just surprised me, is all.
    You didn't hear my voice crack?

    Not at all.

    Thank you so much.

    You better be sorry!

    Incompetent!
[01:18] Kei
    I'm interviewing an animator, then?
[01:21] Loc
    Yeah, he's doing the new 
    opening for The News.
[01:24] Loc
    Not sure why we need to
    do a story on it, personally...
[01:27] Kei
    It's all hands on deck for
    the show's renewal, I suppose.
SIGN    Asuo Keiichi is reinventing the nightly news.
[01:31] Loc
    Our producer, Shitara-san, really does
    like arranging things, doesn't he?
[01:34] Loc
    The interviewee's a great guy,
    though. No worries.
[01:37] Kei
    I'm glad to hear it.
[01:52] Kei
    "Newscaster" is a curious occupation.
[01:57] Kei
    You're on TV, so you're a bit like a celebrity,
[02:00] Kei
    but status-wise, you're a cog in a machine.
[02:03] Kei
    You can collect a good paycheck
    without selling yourself constantly,
[02:07] Kei
    but as long as you're on TV,
[02:09] Kei
    you have to refrain from activities
    that might turn the viewers against you.
[02:15] Kei
    But, look...
[02:17] Kei
    Sometimes I wanna thumb through the
    trashy mags at the convenience store,
[02:20] Kei
    or buy just 100 grams of pre-prepared meals
    at the department store grocery,
[02:23] Kei
    or clap back at a taxi driver
    who's mouthing off at me.
[02:28] Kei
    If I had to always keep on
    my newscaster face,
[02:31] Kei
    holding back on all those little things...
[02:34] Kei
    I'd suffocate and die.
[02:37] Kei
    I spend time as this almost
    sus-looking character
[02:42] Kei
    to let out all the stress
    "Kunieda Kei" can't.
[02:48] Kei
    The brief minutes I spend like this
    are a precious breath of fresh air.
[02:54] Kei
    I'm droolin' here!
[02:57] Kei
    Time to dig in!
[03:00] Kei
    So good!

    the treatment for your hand.

    Hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?
    Name your price.

    Look, I'm in a hurry!
[08:19] Ushi
    You're in a hurry, so you can
    just ignore the light?

    I didn't ignore the light.
[08:24] Kei
    It was green!

    There're no cameras set up,
    and no other witnesses.

    Who in the world raised you?!

    Why wasn't "I'm sorry" the first
    thing outta your mouth?!

    It's been different lately, right?

    I hear you.

    They changed the ratio of sugar
    and soy sauce slightly.
[09:35] Ushi
    Right?
[09:37] Ushi
    Do you eat it in?
[09:38] Kei
    Take-out only.
[09:40] Ushi
    I sometimes eat in,
    but their beer is the worst.
[09:46] Kei
    Beer is the same everywhere.
[09:48] Ushi
    Hard disagree!
[09:49] Ushi
    The head's totally run down
    by the time it reaches the table.
[09:53] Ushi
    I don't know if the pourer sucks at
    his job or the server is slow or what...

    About all the stuff I have lying around...

    Aren't you curious about who I really am?
[10:31] Kei
    I already know, stupid!

    No interest.

    I don't think it's about interest...

    Ah, well.

    I create everything by hand.

    And I just got a big contract which
    I'm in the middle of planning out.

    I'm even getting TV interviews about it.
[10:51] Ushi
    A disabled left hand is really
    going to set me back.
[10:54] Ushi
    So you should take some responsibility
    and help me for a while.
[10:58] Kei
    No way.
[10:59] Ushi
    Are you really in a position to refuse?
[11:00] Kei
    I already told you I'd pay!

    Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?

    I guess you think that's wrong, huh?!
[11:23] Kei
    But I'm not one bit ashamed!
[11:29] Kei
    What now?
[11:30] Ushi
    Well, you've got a point!

    You're a pretty convincing person, you know.

    I ate it.
[13:03] Owa
    Thief!
[13:08] Owa
    What's this stuff?
[13:09] Ushi
    I'm making an animation for
    the opening of a news program.
[13:14] Owa
    Tell me somethin' I don't know!
[13:16] Ushi
    I wanted to create a scene like
    the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
[13:21] Owa
    You're a masochist.
[13:22] Ushi
    I want you to paint them.
[13:24] Owa
    Hell no!
[13:25] Ushi
    Just paint them however
    you think looks best.
[13:29] Owa
    So I can paint their faces green?
[13:31] Ushi
    Do what you like, within reason.
[13:33] Ushi
    When it's done, you'll
    be able to brag about it.
[13:35] Ushi
    "I'm the one who painted that!"
[13:38] Owa
    Who'd brag about that?
[13:40] Owa
    I'm already on TV plenty!
[13:42] Ushi
    Boy, my hand hurts...
[13:45] Ushi
    They said it was a strain.
    It'll take two or three weeks to heal!
[13:49] Ushi
    Dunno what'll happen
    if I miss my deadline...
[13:52] Ushi
    The client's a TV station, after all...
[13:54] Ushi
    I might be blacklisted from the industry!
[13:57] Ushi
    I might even get fined
    for breach of contract!
[14:01] Owa
    Fine! I'm doin' it, already!
[14:08] Owa
    What? I'm not taking revisions.
[14:10] Ushi
    Actually, I'm impressed.
[14:12] Ushi
    You took it more seriously than I expected.
[14:15] Owa
    What?
[14:16] Ushi
    A person's personality
    comes out in their work.
[14:19] Ushi
    More than they ever realize.
[14:22] Ushi
    You're a fast learner,
    you're smart, and you're quick.
[14:27] Ushi
    But despite your insistence,
    you did a proper coloring job.
[14:30] Ushi
    You're surprisingly honest. Timid, even.
[14:33] Owa
    You said to do it "within reason"!
[14:36] Ushi
    Even so, you still did it correctly.
[14:39] Ushi
    You're an honest guy, for better or worse.
[14:42] Ushi
    From the way you act,
    I thought you'd be more of a troll.
[14:46] Ushi
    Keep up the good work!
[14:47] Owa
    He pisses me off!
[14:49] Owa
    Don't act like you know me!
    We only met yesterday!
[14:53] Owa
    And his certainty about it
    pisses me off even more!
[14:56] Owa
    You ain't even seen through
    my disguise, loser!

    Kunieda Kei.
[15:00] Ushi
    He's a newscaster... ever heard of him?
[15:03] Kei
    Is he trying to set me up?
[15:05] Ushi
    I had an interview with him recently.
[15:08] Ow
    Oh?
[15:10] Ow
    Seriously, what's he playing at?
[15:12] Ushi
    I was rude to him.
[15:15] Ushi
    I had a separate TV interview before him.
[15:19] Ushi
    A newscaster around the same age came by.
[15:22] Ushi
    He was all smiles at first.
[15:25] Ushi
    But when I left for a second,
    he started shouting insults at the PA,
[15:30] Ushi
    and even kicked him really hard...
[15:32] Ushi
    When I got back, he was all smiles again.
[15:36] Ushi
    I could feel my skin crawl in disgust.
[15:40] Ushi
    It made me remember the people who
    treated me like vermin when I started out
[15:45] Ushi
    who suddenly changed their tune
    the moment I made a name for myself.
[15:53] Ushi
    I realized I still held a grudge,
[15:56] Ushi
    and I was so annoyed at my own
    pettiness that I couldn't work.
[16:00] Ushi
    I went to sleep in a huff,
    and then Kunieda-san came by.
[16:05] Ushi
    I was convinced he'd be abusing
    his underlings in private, too.
[16:09] Ushi
    I was brusque with him.
[16:11] Ushi
    But a PA knocked over his bag,
    and Kunieda-san smiled at him.
[16:17] Ushi
    He even asked if he was okay!
[16:20] Ushi
    With that well-worn, dog-eared
    inflection guide in his hand...
[16:23] Owa
    You bought that act, huh?
    Wow, what a simpleton!
[16:26] Ushi
    I think he actually works really hard.
[16:30] Ushi
    But I treated him badly due to
    my own foolish prejudice.
[16:35] Ushi
    I'm supposed to see him again,
[16:37] Ushi
    but I'm not sure he'll
    forgive me if I apologize.
[16:39] Owa
    You're such an asshole.
[16:41] Owa
    If the only reason you
    apologize is to be forgiven,
[16:43] Owa
    you shouldn't bother.
[16:45] Owa
    It means you're not really serious.
[16:48] Ushi
    Surprisingly sound advice
    from a scoundrel like you.
[16:51] Owa
    Shut up!
[16:52] Ushi
    You're right, though.
[16:54] Ushi
    I should apologize, regardless.
[16:57] Loc
    Okay, cut! We're all clear.
[17:00] Pa
    Great work!
[17:01] Ushi
    I'm sorry.
[17:01] Pa
    Okay!
[17:03] Ushi
    I was rude to you before.
[17:06] Ushi
    I had my reasons, but I shouldn't
    have taken it out on you.
[17:10] Ushi
    At any rate, I'm sorry.
[17:12] Kei
    Check it out! He really apologized!
[17:15] Kei
    Really, I wasn't offended...
[17:18] Ushi
    Really?
[17:19] Kei
    Of course not.
[17:20] Ushi
    Oh, good!
[17:22] Ushi
    A friend of mine said I should apologize.
[17:25] Kei
    Oh, really?
[17:26] Kei
    "Friend"? Is he talkin' about me?!
[17:29] Kei
    As if! I ain't your friend, bub!
[17:31] Ushi
    We just met recently.
[17:33] Ushi
    He's a bit odd, of course..
[17:35] Ushi
    He's got such a foul mouth...
[17:37] Ushi
    Yes, I'm sure you'd die before you
    said some of the things he does.
[17:42] Kei
    Do you think so?
[17:43] Kei
    You bastard!
[17:45] Ushi
    By the way, do you have that
    inflection dictionary with you today?
[17:49] Kei
    Yes. I don't need it for location work,
[17:52] Kei
    but it's a bit of a lucky charm.
[17:54] Kei
    When I'm nervous before a live show,
    I like to flip through it.
[18:00] Kei
    When you're nervous, it's important
    to find comfort in routine.
[18:03] Ushi
    Your voice is very soothing.
[18:07] Ushi
    It's so soft and rich,
[18:10] Ushi
    and you're articulate without being slow.
[18:13] Ushi
    I guess you'd have to
    study daily to achieve that.
[18:16] Kei
    I'm afraid I still have a lot to learn.
[18:18] Ushi
    So do I.
[18:21] Ushi
    Everything I create is a long series
    of "If only I'd done this or that."
[18:27] Ushi
    When I'm frustrated over
    how one project turned out,
[18:29] Ushi
    the only way to clear my head
    is to start a new project.
[18:33] Kei
    That's a great story.
[18:35] Kei
    You should have let it out
    while the cameras were rolling.
[18:39] Ushi
    Heck no.
[18:58] Ushi
    Here.
[18:59] Owa
    What?
[19:00] Ushi
    Sometimes I'm so engrossed in my work,
    I don't hear the doorbell.
[19:04] Owa
    Seems a little careless...
[19:46] Owa
    Who's the alien, anyway?
[19:47] Ushi
    An Earthling from the future.
[19:50] Ushi
    A descendant of humanity
[19:51] Ushi
    after they moved to other planets
    when Earth was destroyed.
[19:55] Ushi
    But he's all alone now.
[19:58] Ushi
    The sight of how many people used
    to be on Earth brings him to tears.
[20:04] Owa
    That's dark.
[20:07] Ushi
    Creative types do tend towards the dour.
[20:11] Owa
    This guy? Dour?
[20:14] Ushi
    They want to do another shoot here tomorrow.
[20:17] Ushi
    I guess I can't do any work today.
[20:20] Owa
    Doesn't it annoy you, having to bow
    to someone else's schedule,
[20:23] Owa
    letting in cameras
    and interrupting your work?
[20:28] Ushi
    I'm sure it's inconvenient for them, too.
[20:30] Ushi
    Carrying all that heavy equipment around...
[20:33] Ushi
    Besides, I like seeing Kunieda-san.
[20:37] Ushi
    I always thought I was a pretty quiet guy,
[20:41] Ushi
    but something about him
    just gets the words flowing.
[20:45] Ushi
    He's good at listening...
    or asking questions, I guess.
[20:50] Ushi
    Say, Owari, do you have a girlfriend?
[20:53] Owa
    No way! Girls are annoying.
[20:56] Ushi
    A boyfriend, then?
[20:57] Owa
    Double no!
[20:59] Ushi
    What kind of person
    hates both men and women?
[21:02] Ushi
    Or are you mostly just
    in love with yourself?
[21:07] Owa
    Back off!
[21:09] Ushi
    Hey, watch out!
[21:11] Ushi
    You almost hit the set!
[21:13] Ushi
    Hey!
[21:18] Owa
    Run your stupid mouth all you like!
SIGN    Tsuzuki
[21:22] Sign
    You still haven't even
    realized who I really am!
[21:31] Shi
    Thanks for taking time out of
     your schedules, both of you.
[21:36] Both
    Not at all.
[21:37] Kei
    Why do I need to have dinner 
    with this jerk now*?!
[21:41] Kei
    Dammit... if the invitation*
    hadn't been from my producer,
[21:43] Kei
    I'd have turned it down flat!
[21:44] Set
    Ushio-kun. Are things going smoothly?
[21:47] Ushi
    You could come to see it
    yourself, Shitara-san.
[21:51] Shi
    I prefer to wait for the finished product.
[21:53] Ushi
    I hope you won't have any complaints
    after waiting that long.
[21:57] Shi
    Don't worry. I'm a fan of yours.
[22:00] Shi
    And I have free rein on this
    project, so I'm not worried.
[22:04] Ushi
    I'm afraid that just makes me
    even more nervous!
[22:09] Ushi
    Speaking of, Kunieda-san...
[22:12] Ushi
    What made you want to be a newscaster?
[22:14] Kei
    That's quite sudden...
[22:16] Ushi
    Actually, I've been wondering that for a while.
[22:19] Ushi
    I just couldn't find the right time to ask.
[22:23] Shi
    You didn't actually want to at first, right?
[22:26] Kei
    You knew that, sir?
[22:28] Shi
    Everyone knows it.
[22:30] Shi
    Everyone around the station, at least.
[22:33] Ushi
    You didn't want to?
[22:38] Kei
    I originally took the test
    for a regular staff position.
[22:43] Kei
    But in the final interview
    with the president,
[22:45] Kei
    he suddenly asked if I might
     try reading the news...
[22:48] Ushi
    He saw talent in you, I suppose.
[22:51] Kei
    I wonder.
[22:53] Kei
    When I asked him why,
    he said I had "good nasals."
[23:00] Ushi
    Nasals?
[23:02] Shi
    It means that when he says a hard "g,"
[23:05] Shi
    he sounds it a little through the nose.
[23:07] Ushi
    How, exactly?
[23:09] Shi
    It's kind of like an "ng" sound,
    though that's a bit exaggerated.
[23:13] Shi
    "Forget" becomes "for-nget"
    and "vulgar" becomes "vul-ngar".
[23:17] Shi
    Those are nasals.
[23:19] Shi
    But if the "g" comes at the start of a word,
    you just pronounce it normally.
[23:25] Shi
    Like "garage" or "gold".
[23:27] Shi
    Though there's a little more
    to it, of course...
[23:29] Ushi
    Does any of that really matter?
[23:33] Shi
    Voices that fail to master the nasal consonant
    are a little harder on the ears.
[23:36] Shi
    You'd be surprised what
    a difference it makes.
[23:40] Shi
    Oh, now...
[23:44] Shi
    Excuse me a minute.
[23:45] Shi
    Go ahead and eat without me.
[23:48] Ushi
    Kunieda-san?
[23:50] Kei
    Yes?
[23:50] Ushi
    Why didn't you say no when they
    asked you to read the news?
[23:55] Kei
    I thought fate was trying to
     tell me something, I suppose.
[23:58] Ushi
    I see.
[23:59] Ushi
    I may not really get that
    whole "nasals" thing,
[24:03] Ushi
    but I do think your voice
    is very easy on the ears.
[24:07] Ushi
    It's not just that you have a nice voice.
[24:12] Ushi
    I suppose there's a lot of technique
    involved that a layman wouldn't understand.
[24:15] Ushi
    You really are amazing.
[24:18] Kei
    It's nothing, really...
[24:21] Kei
    What's with this guy?!
[24:22] Kei
    Quit starin' at me like that!
[24:28] Kei
    You never look at Owari that way...
[24:32] Kei
    Wait, what am I thinking?!
[24:34] Ushi
    Kunieda-san?
[24:36] Ushi
    Are you all right?
[24:37] Kuni
    Oh, er...
[24:39] Kuni
    If I might ask, how have
    things been with your friend?
[24:43] Kuni
    You know, the one you mentioned before...
[24:45] Ushi
    Oh, him...
[24:48] Ushi
    I think he's mad at me.
[24:50] Ushi
    I said something to him...
    I didn't mean anything by it,
[24:53] Ushi
    but I think it set him off.
[24:55] Kei
    I see...
[24:56] Ushi
    He'll be fine, though.
[24:59] Kei
    How can you be so flippant about it?!
[25:01] Kei
    Try and give a crap!
[25:03] Ushi
    I call him my friend, but...
[25:05] Ushi
    I really only know his
    last name and cell number.
[25:08] Ushi
    The last name he gave sounded fake,
[25:12] Ushi
    but when I ask more,
    he gets mad or ignores me.
[25:14] Ushi
    I figure he doesn't want to tell me.
[25:19] Ushi
    He just barges in,
    hangs around, then leaves,
[25:25] Ushi
    like a stray cat... I never
    know what he's thinking.
[25:30] Ushi
    It's strange, really...
[25:31] Ushi
    I prefer to work alone.
[25:35] Ushi
    At least, I thought I did.
[25:38] Ushi
    But when he's at my place, hanging out,
[25:41] Ushi
    flipping through a manga,
    watching TV, muttering to himself...
[25:47] Ushi
    I'm not even thinking about it,
[25:50] Ushi
    but working while I listen
    to him feels nice...
[25:55] Ushi
    it's calming.
[26:09] Owa
    I just ate, but I'm still hungry...
[26:20] Owa
    What?
[26:21] Ushi
    Sorry about before.
[26:23] Owa
    I don't forgive you.
[26:25] Ushi
    Yeah, but I still need to apologize.
[26:29] Ushi
    Just like you taught me.
[26:31] Owa
    You're really pissing me off now.
[26:32] Ushi
    Want to stop by for some yakitori?
[26:35] Ushi
    I bought some from
    the place I mentioned earlier.
SIGN    Tanmi-ya
[26:39] Ushi
    I had a good meal earlier,
[26:41] Ushi
    but I'm already hungry again.
[26:45] Ushi
    What do you say?
[26:49] Owa
    Fine.
[26:51] Both
    Let's eat!
[26:54] Both
    Crap! I can't eat like this...
[26:58] Ushi
    Hey, what's the matter? Are you still mad?
[27:01] Owa
    I don't want you watching me eat.
[27:04] Ushi
    Why not?
[27:05] Owa
    I... I've got bad teeth.
[27:08] Owa
    It's why I'm always wearing a mask.
[27:09] Shio
    I thought you were afraid of getting sick.
[27:11] Owa
    That's part of it, too!
[27:13] Owa
    Just don't peek, okay?
    It'll hurt my feelings.
[27:25] Ushi
    Hey, Owari...
[27:27] Owa
    What? Lemme eat in peace.
[27:29] Ushi
    If your teeth bother you,
     you can get them fixed.
[27:33] Ushi
    Though apparently, it hurts.
[27:36] Owa
    It's fine.
[27:37] Ushi
    Why?
[27:38] Ushi
    If money's an issue, I'll lend you some.
[27:41] Ushi
    Or, wait... You said you had money...
[27:44] Wa
    What are you, stupid?
[27:46] Wa
    Don't lend money to someone you barely know.
[27:49] Ushi
    You're not just "someone," though.
[27:53] Ushi
    I'm happy to lend you money,
    because I don't care if you pay it back.
[27:58] Owa
    I'm not taking your money.
[27:59] Ushi
    Then you're just gonna wear a mask
    for the rest of your life?
[28:08] Owa
    Yes!
[28:09] Owa
    I'm going to wear a mask 
    for the rest of my life!
[28:13] Owa
    You got a problem with that?
[28:15] Owa
    Does that offend you somehow?!
[28:20] Owa
    I'm leaving.
[28:21] Ushi
    Hey! Wait!
[28:24] Owa
    Let me go! Don't touch me!
[28:28] Ushi
    Would you chill out?!
[28:30] Ushi
    Where'd all that come from?
[28:32] Kei
    I just decided I wanted to leave.
[28:34] Kei
    You got a problem?
[28:35] Ushi
    Not a problem, exactly... 
    I'm just asking why.
[28:38] Ushi
    Is it really worth getting angry about?
[28:40] Owa
    Shut up.
[28:42] Owa
    Just shut up!
[28:44] Ushi
    Owari!
[28:46] Owa
    Shut up!
[28:47] Owa
    Shut up, shut up!
[28:50] Owa
    Owari isn't my name!
[28:55] Owa
    But I'm not "Kunieda-san," either...
[28:58] Owa
    I don't know who I am anymore.
[29:00] Owa
    Why? When did it all get so weird?
[29:05] Owa
    If I hadn't met you that night...
[29:09] Owa
    This is all your fault!
[29:11] Ushi
    Hey...
[29:14] Owa
    It's your fault.
[29:15] Ushi
    Okay, I'll accept that.
[29:17] Ushi
    But I can't make it right unless
    you tell me what I did wrong!
[29:23] Ushi
    Do you have that little trust in me?
[29:27] Ushi
    You can't just tell me how you really feel?
[29:30] Ushi
    If I matter so little to you, why did
    you keep coming to see me?
[29:33] Ushi
    I know I dragged you into this at first.
[29:37] Ushi
    But you kept coming after that!
[29:40] Ushi
    Even when there was no more work to do...
[29:42] Ushi
    I thought you were enjoying it. Was I wrong?
[29:45] Ushi
    I enjoyed it!
[29:47] Owa
    I... liked it.
[29:52] Ushi
    But you don't now?
[29:54] Owa
    No...
[29:56] Owa
    My head's full of things
    I never thought about before.
[30:00] Owa
    It's all your fault. It's all your fault!
[30:04] Ushi
    Explain it to me, then.
[30:07] Owa
    No!
[30:08] Ushi
    Explain!
[30:09] Owa
    Why?!
[30:10] Ushi
    Because I want to know!
[30:12] Ushi
    I want to really understand you!
[30:22] Owa
    His eyes are so beautiful...
[30:44] Owa
    What the hell's wrong with you?! Pervert!

    You disgust me! Asshole!

    so we don't have time to waste.
[32:05] (Flashback) Shi
    We need to get right to work.
[32:07] (Flashback) Shi
    That means no more
    interviews with Tsuzuki-kun.

    Why'd he have to freakin' kiss me?!

    It makes no damn sense!
[32:26] Kei
    Plus it's been a whole day,
    and he hasn't even called!

    They gave me these flowers...
    I graduated today.
[34:23] Kei
    But I don't have a vase at home.
[34:25] Uchi
    A vase?
[34:27] Kei
    Oh... n-nothing.
    Forget I said anything, please.
[34:30] Kei
    Oh, r-right!
[34:32] Kei
    We had a big change in schedule,
    so I haven't been by.
[34:35] Kei
    I'm so very sorry!
[34:37] Ushi
    Kunieda-san...
[34:38] Ushi
    Want to stop by my place?
[34:40] Ushi
    I do have a vase.
[34:44] Kei
    You finished the filming and the editing?
[34:47] Ushi
    Yeah.
[34:48] Ushi
    Shitara-san just needs to look at it,
[34:51] Ushi
    and I'll do a few tweaks on my computer.
[34:54] Kei
    I see...
[34:56] Kei
    I guess congratulations...
    aren't quite in order yet?
[35:00] Ushi
    Aren't you the one
    deserving congratulations?
[35:03] Ushi
    You got chosen as the new host,
    right? It's incredible.
[35:06] Ushi
    It feels a little strange that the news
    show I've watched since I was a kid
[35:09] Ushi
    will be hosted by someone I know.
[35:11] Ushi
    You start tomorrow, right? Nervous?
[35:13] Kei
    A little...
[35:15] Ushi
    But I'm sure they wouldn't have chosen you
    unless they knew you could do it.
[35:19] Kei
    I appreciate that.
    That's what they all say...
[35:24] Kei
    Superficially, I've always
    gotten along with everyone...
[35:29] Kei
    Always smiling, never getting mad
    or yelling at anyone.
[35:33] Kei
    It's exhausting to speak from the heart,
    or to hear other people do it.
[35:37] Kei
    But if I tell him that
    I really am scared as hell...
[35:42] Kei
    What would he do?
[35:44] Kei
    Is now the time to remove
    the mask of Kunieda Kei,
[35:49] Kei
    tied on so tightly by so many lies?
[35:51] Kei
    Is now the time to tell him everything?
[35:55] Kei
    Everything I've kept from him...
    Or about Owari, at last...
[36:00] Kei
    This might be my last chance.
[36:03] Kei
    Um...
[36:05] Ushi
    Sorry.
[36:06] Ushi
    I know I called you by, but
    I'm actually a little busy right now.
[36:10] Ushi
    There's more I need
    to change than I thought.
[36:13] Ushi
    I need to work it all out by tomorrow.
[36:15] Ushi
    Do you mind if I focus on work?
[36:18] Ushi
    You can stay as long as you like.
[36:31] Kei
    Reading the news and hosting a roundtable
[36:34] Kei
    are totally different levels of difficulty.
[36:37] Kei
    You need to know the content by heart,
[36:39] Kei
    control the flow while keeping things light,
[36:43] Kei
    insert little comments
    to fill a gap in conversation,
[36:46] Kei
    and remain visible

    It sounds nice to say it was
    a flash of inspiration to choose me,
[37:02] Kei
    but it was really just a whim.
[37:05] Kei
    In a profession you have to win
    thousands of competitions to get ahead...
[37:10] Kei
    Even I am just a substitute,
[37:12] Kei
    I landed the hosting job
    of the station's flagship show.
[37:14] Kei
    I've worked so hard, trying to beat
    out people who went for this job
[37:18] Kei
    because they wanted it...

[37:38] Kei
    I'm sorry to be a bother.
[37:40] Ushi
    No, maybe I should have woken you up.
[37:44] Ushi
    You want some coffee?
[37:45] Kei
    No, I'd better head home.

    Good evening.
[41:45] Kei
    This is the first episode of 
    the all-new The News.
[41:50] Kei
    I'll be your host today, Kunieda Kei.
[42:20] Ushi
    Which are you?
[42:23] Ushi
    Kunieda-san or Owari?
[42:29] Kei
    Half of each, I guess...
[42:31] Ushi
    I see...
[42:34] Ushi
    You're late.
[42:35] Ushi
    I was waiting so long, I fell asleep.
[42:38] Kei
    What do you expect?
[42:40] Kei
    We had our show post-mortem
    and preparations for tomorrow...
[42:43] Kei
    I was busy, okay?
[42:45] Ushi
    It's funny to hear that voice
    coming from that face.
[42:49] Kei
    Lay off!
[42:50] Kei
    When did you realize it?
[42:53] Ushi
    "What the hell's wrong with you?!"
[42:55] Ushi
    "Pervert! You disgust me! Asshole!"
[42:59] Kei
    Throwing that back in my face, huh?
[43:00] Ushi
    No.
[43:01] Ushi
    Well, I guess I am, a little...
[43:05] Ushi
    My mind went blank when
     you slapped me, I think.
[43:10] Ushi
    Because of that, I heard your
    voice more clearly than usual.
[43:14] Ushi
    The nasals.
[43:16] Ushi
    The way you said "g" in "wrong"
    and "disgust" were a little different.
[43:19] Ushi
    I finally realized what
    Shitara-san was talking about.
[43:23] Ushi
    Once the possibility was in
    my mind, it all fell into place.
[43:28] Ushi
    I had to wonder why I didn't see it earlier.
[43:32] Ushi
    It was so obviously you.
[43:35] Kei
    You're not mad?
[43:37] Ushi
    Why would I be?
[43:38] Kei
    I lied to you for so long...
[43:40] Ushi
    If I'd asked if you were the same person
[43:42] Ushi
    and you'd said no,
    that would have been a lie.
[43:45] Ushi
    But you just didn't tell me, right?
[43:47] Kei
    And you're fine with that?
[43:49] Ushi
    Why shouldn't I be?
[43:52] Kei
    Because it's wrong... it's mean!
[43:55] Kei
    You must be disappointed in me.
[43:56] Ushi
    I'm not, though.
[43:58] Kei
    Don't lie!
[44:00] Ushi
    I'm telling you I don't mind,
    so why are you mad?
[44:04] Kei
    Because...
[44:05] Ushi
    It made me happy, actually.
[44:10] Ushi
    The prince-like Kunieda-san,
[44:12] Ushi
    and the major asshole Owari...
[44:16] Ushi
    I was falling for both of them,
[44:19] Ushi
    so this really simplifies things.
[44:22] Kei
    You can't fall for both!
[44:24] Ushi
    But it's interesting.
[44:26] Ushi
    I know everyone has a public
    and private face...
[44:28] Ushi
    But I've never seen anyone
    take it to such extremes.
[44:31] Kei
    Don't treat me like a lab experiment!
[44:34] Ushi
    Kei.
[44:35] Ushi
    Keep being like that. Even if it's strange...
[44:38] Ushi
    And don't show your true face
[44:41] Ushi
    to anyone but me.
[44:44] Kei
    I never would... I'd be finished!
[44:48] Ushi
    Can I take that to mean
    you've fallen for me?
[44:54] Kei
    Maybe... half.
[44:57] Ushi
    Half from each face?
[44:58] Ushi
    Does that add up to...
[45:01] Ushi
    Entirely?
[45:03] Kei
    No, just half!
[45:05] Kei
    You were half into both
    Kunieda-san and Owari, too...
[45:10] Ushi
    You're so silly.
[45:15] Ushi
    For me, it adds up to double.
[45:29] Kei
    What now?
[45:30] Ushi
    I'm glad you have nice teeth.
[45:33] Kei
    Of course I do—
[45:39] Kei
    Stop!
[45:47] Kei
    W-Wait! I don't want to!
[45:49] Ushi
    It's a little late for that!
[45:51] Kei
    But...
[45:52] Kei
    I just... I don't want it inside!
[45:55] Ushi
    That's not fair. You already got yours...
[45:58] Kei
    T-Tsuzuki-san...
[46:01] Kei
    Tsuzuki-san... I don't want this.
[46:03] Kei
    I'm scared...
[46:06] Ushi
    You really are a nasty little creature...
[46:12] Kei
    Ow!
[46:14] Ushi
    I'll have to beat that out of you.
[46:17] Kei
    You said I was fine the way I was.
[46:19] Ushi
    Not literally all the time!
[46:21] Ushi
    Do you really delight in tormenting me?
[46:23] Kei
    You're the one who—
[46:25] Kei
    I said no!
[46:26] Ushi
    You've half-convinced me.
[46:29] Ushi
    So I'll only put it in halfway.
[46:31] Kei
    That's not much of a difference!
[46:33] Ushi
    Shut up.
[46:34] Ushi
    I love you, so shut your mouth.
[46:36] Kei
    I don't want this!
[46:37] Kei
    Ow, it hurts! It hurts!
[46:41] Ushi
    Sorry.
[46:42] Kei
    Oh, well...
[46:46] Ushi
    You can't fool me again!
[46:49] Kei
    The pain is real, though!
[46:51] Ushi
    It'll hurt more if you struggle.
[46:53] Ushi
    Breathe... slow and deep...
[46:59] Kei
    A-Are you in halfway yet?
[47:01] Ushi
    Not yet...
[47:05] Kei
    N-No...
[47:08] Ushi
    Kei... Kei!
[47:12] Ushi
    I'm sorry... I can't stop myself.
[47:24] Kei
    L-Liar... You said... only halfway...
[47:27] Kei
    But... you put the whole thing in...
[47:30] Ushi
    Yeah, you got me...

    I think I'm just swept away
    by your beauty...
