00:27.900 --> 00:30.110
<b>CHITOSE IS IN THE RAMUNE BOTTLE</b>

02:42.700 --> 02:45.620
You sure about that, Yuzuki Nanase?

02:45.920 --> 02:46.750
Huh?

02:54.050 --> 02:55.510
Is this what you wanted?

02:56.300 --> 02:57.930
Wait, Saku!

02:57.930 --> 03:01.510
Too late for that. 
You're the one who started it.

03:09.100 --> 03:12.270
Please, Saku. Not like this.

03:12.270 --> 03:16.490
Don't be a spoilsport. If you close 
your eyes, you won't see a thing.

03:16.490 --> 03:18.660
No... You're scaring me.

03:23.470 --> 03:28.120
Is that all Yuzuki Nanase's got? 
Don't make me laugh.

03:30.210 --> 03:32.750
Are you so afraid of that guy...

03:33.080 --> 03:36.880
that you're okay with shutting your brain off 
while he makes a mockery of you?

03:38.120 --> 03:43.140
What a letdown after you 
embodied perfection for so long!

03:43.510 --> 03:44.560
Come on!

03:45.640 --> 03:50.650
Is Yuzuki Nanase really this weak a girl, huh?!

03:53.190 --> 03:55.570
Fuck you!

03:56.650 --> 03:58.570
Owie...

03:59.490 --> 04:06.160
Y-You hit too hard... 
I-I told you, a light kick is all it takes...

04:26.180 --> 04:29.140
You can talk to me if you're up for it.

04:32.860 --> 04:35.820
I'm terrified of violence.

04:36.650 --> 04:38.570
<i>As I expected.</i>

04:39.030 --> 04:46.290
<i>I just couldn't tell if it was 
physical or sexual abuse.</i>

04:47.290 --> 04:49.710
By my second year of middle school,

04:50.000 --> 04:55.460
my history of nasty experiences 
thanks to my looks

04:55.460 --> 04:59.550
had turned me into a street-smart girl.

04:59.970 --> 05:03.470
I acted friendly with both boys and girls

05:03.470 --> 05:06.850
but knew where to draw the line 
and keep my distance

05:07.100 --> 05:11.770
and play the girl who wasn't 
worth getting worked up over.

05:12.850 --> 05:14.360
But that was when...

05:17.230 --> 05:21.360
I heard that Yanashita-senpai 
had taken an interest in me.

05:22.010 --> 05:26.620
He was infamous as a bad boy, 
but he was actually from a good family

05:27.160 --> 05:29.450
and was originally a popular kid.

05:30.170 --> 05:32.710
Plenty of girls had crushes on him, too.

05:33.650 --> 05:35.630
One day, he called me out.

05:35.880 --> 05:41.630
I was scared, but I figured I could 
talk my way out of the situation.

05:41.920 --> 05:44.340
You're gonna be mine.

05:44.840 --> 05:47.220
I put on my best fake smile,

05:47.540 --> 05:52.730
thinking I was skillfully brushing him off.

05:53.270 --> 05:54.270
But...

05:55.310 --> 05:56.610
No more nice guy.

06:07.780 --> 06:13.620
My mind went blank at first, 
and then came the burning pain.

06:17.000 --> 06:19.120
I was mad and upset,

06:19.630 --> 06:23.920
but more than anything, I was scared as hell.

06:24.760 --> 06:27.510
It horrified me that 
no matter how smartly I lived,

06:27.510 --> 06:34.980
I was just a girl whose brain 
stopped working when a guy slapped me.

06:35.890 --> 06:40.400
That's the part of my past 
I was keeping secret, even from you.

06:40.400 --> 06:43.320
Maybe because I broke down 
crying so pathetically,

06:43.320 --> 06:46.320
he just took that one photo and let me go.

06:47.240 --> 06:52.040
I was hoping he had forgotten 
all about me by now...

06:56.750 --> 06:58.290
Saku?

06:58.290 --> 07:00.340
Thanks, Yuzuki.

07:02.130 --> 07:04.340
Why are you thanking me?

07:04.340 --> 07:11.050
Thank you for never giving up on being 
Yuzuki Nanase, even after all that.

07:11.390 --> 07:15.180
Thank you for standing tall all this time.

07:15.680 --> 07:19.980
I don't know why, 
but that makes me really glad.

07:28.700 --> 07:33.910
<i>Everyone goes through unpleasant things 
in life that they wish they could forget.</i>

07:34.830 --> 07:40.710
<i>But she didn't put hers away in a box 
called trauma and let it rot.</i>

07:41.590 --> 07:47.590
<i>In that moment, it felt like a miracle to me 
that she was there as Yuzuki Nanase.</i>

07:53.430 --> 07:57.310
Anyway, you went too far back there.

07:57.310 --> 08:01.020
Sorry. I know that method was too forceful.

08:03.860 --> 08:06.650
I can't believe you went all, "Owie!"

08:07.650 --> 08:10.110
So much for your usual cool-guy act!

08:10.990 --> 08:12.530
Hilarious!

08:12.530 --> 08:14.910
Don't get the wrong idea.

08:14.910 --> 08:19.250
I wasn't trying to tell you that you can 
get rid of <i>all</i> guys with a kick to the nuts.

08:19.250 --> 08:21.420
It could backfire, too.

08:21.420 --> 08:24.130
So, I should never turn my brain off, right?

08:24.710 --> 08:28.550
You showed me how it's done 
back during the festival.

08:28.550 --> 08:33.760
Even when you're outmatched, you still 
have options as long as you use your brain.

08:35.100 --> 08:36.970
Yeah, violence is scary stuff,

08:37.520 --> 08:40.770
but don't let the pain take over 
your heart and mind too.

08:42.560 --> 08:44.360
I'll be fine, I think.

08:45.070 --> 08:50.570
The scariest and funniest faces 
I can picture just got updated,

08:50.570 --> 08:52.860
so the old versions are gone.

08:53.160 --> 08:57.240
I wish I could've done 
a better job, and sooner.

08:57.240 --> 08:58.330
Nah.

08:59.330 --> 09:03.210
You did it because 
I finally said "help me," right?

09:05.130 --> 09:08.260
Thank you, my hero.

09:08.880 --> 09:10.800
<i>This is Yuzuki's problem to deal with.</i>

09:11.260 --> 09:14.680
<i>There's no point if she 
doesn't move on herself.</i>

09:15.760 --> 09:20.640
<i>There's no guarantee that I'll be there 
for her if something similar happens again.</i>

09:21.230 --> 09:26.060
<i>But she chose to depend on me and move forward.</i>

09:26.900 --> 09:29.690
<i>And now, it becomes our problem.</i>

09:30.440 --> 09:31.400
Hey...

09:32.070 --> 09:34.200
Wanna pick up where we left off?

09:34.950 --> 09:38.410
You really think I can get it up after that? 
I felt my balls shrink just now!

09:45.880 --> 09:48.840
Saku! Wanna join me?

09:49.300 --> 09:53.260
Quit playing all the hits and count to 100 
with the water up to your shoulders!

09:53.970 --> 09:55.050
Tch.

09:56.550 --> 09:59.010
One, two...

09:59.640 --> 10:02.890
Three, four...

10:01.140 --> 10:02.680
Talk about carefree.

10:03.850 --> 10:05.310
One hundred!

10:07.860 --> 10:09.860
Something smells nice!

10:10.110 --> 10:11.610
You must be hungry.

10:11.610 --> 10:13.990
Dry your hair, and let's eat.

10:13.990 --> 10:15.410
Okay!

10:15.740 --> 10:17.990
Your shampoo smells great.

10:17.990 --> 10:20.540
Right? Yua recommended it.

10:21.370 --> 10:22.750
Huh...

10:28.540 --> 10:31.090
I like how powerful your dryer is.

10:31.090 --> 10:34.800
Yuko gave it to me when she bought a new one.

10:34.800 --> 10:36.050
Oh, yeah?

10:47.900 --> 10:49.310
Take your breath away?

10:50.610 --> 10:52.070
As much as I hate to admit.

10:52.570 --> 10:56.320
I admit defeat, so please put on 
some shorts or something.

10:56.610 --> 10:57.990
Okies!

11:13.800 --> 11:17.300
Yuzuki, you can use the bed. 
I'll sleep on the couch.

11:17.550 --> 11:18.680
I don't think so.

11:19.590 --> 11:21.470
So I can use the bed?

11:21.730 --> 11:23.570
What a heartless boy.

11:23.570 --> 11:25.270
What do you even want from me?

11:38.320 --> 11:39.910
It smells like you.

11:40.320 --> 11:41.910
Sorry, does it stink?

11:42.160 --> 11:44.660
Nah, it's a comforting scent.

11:45.830 --> 11:51.460
So, uh, Chitose? Do you have someone you like?

11:52.130 --> 11:54.500
That's the second time you've asked me that.

11:54.800 --> 12:00.680
I don't think I've ever liked a guy for real.

12:01.600 --> 12:04.100
A lot of guys made moves on me,

12:04.100 --> 12:10.480
but when I realized they liked the 
Yuzuki Nanase packaging more than me,

12:10.480 --> 12:12.020
I stopped caring.

12:12.820 --> 12:18.990
All they wanted was a treasure chest 
filled with their own fantasies.

12:19.700 --> 12:24.950
But even you get annoyed when 
other girls get praised over you,

12:24.950 --> 12:28.120
and you lose your composure 
when you see a guy showing some skin.

12:28.120 --> 12:30.670
Right. I fart sometimes, too.

12:31.750 --> 12:36.800
There was this one girl who I liked a fair bit.

12:36.800 --> 12:37.920
Yeah?

12:43.350 --> 12:49.060
Back in grade school, I'd spend my summer 
breaks at my paternal grandma's home.

12:50.100 --> 12:54.020
To me, it was the very image of summer.

12:54.940 --> 12:59.900
I met this girl there who'd show up 
in the neighborhood every year.

13:00.400 --> 13:04.950
She'd follow me around 
with her pretty, doll-like face.

13:07.180 --> 13:11.620
And she'd cry after getting 
her white dress dirty in the river.

13:12.460 --> 13:13.460
But...

13:14.250 --> 13:18.880
I remember how she always said 
she envied me for being so free.

13:19.630 --> 13:22.550
She was the only one to ever say that to me.

13:22.550 --> 13:24.300
It made me happy.

13:25.430 --> 13:29.390
But this one year, she stopped showing up.

13:30.390 --> 13:33.810
That was how my puppy 
first love started and ended.

13:33.810 --> 13:38.230
Ah, so she was the only illusion 
to never disillusion you.

13:40.330 --> 13:45.030
Do you think you'll be able 
to fall in love in the future?

13:47.330 --> 13:49.240
The idea scares me.

13:49.240 --> 13:51.710
I don't want the shoe on the other foot.

13:51.710 --> 13:56.290
I don't want to one-sidedly fall in love with 
and one-sidedly come to hate someone.

14:00.420 --> 14:02.800
Good night, Saku.

14:03.180 --> 14:05.390
Good night, Yuzuki.

14:06.680 --> 14:11.730
<i>If real love does exist in our world,</i>

14:12.180 --> 14:17.480
<i>I feel like it can only be found 
in faded, rose-tinted memories.</i>

14:18.360 --> 14:25.070
<i>Like, for instance, when I look back 
fondly on this night as a grown man.</i>

14:37.250 --> 14:41.000
<i>When I woke up, Yuzuki was gone.</i>

14:49.640 --> 14:51.220
Morning, Yua.

14:51.220 --> 14:53.530
Morning. Where's Yuzuki-chan?

14:53.530 --> 14:55.020
She dumped me.

14:55.850 --> 14:57.770
Saku-kun, what's that?

14:58.440 --> 15:00.110
Huh...

15:06.660 --> 15:08.660
<b>THANKS FOR THE SLEEPING FACE <3</b>

15:08.920 --> 15:12.910
You do it with everyone, huh, Saku-kun?

15:14.620 --> 15:18.710
Gimme a break. Your first time's 
something you can only give to one person.

15:20.880 --> 15:22.420
Really, now?

15:28.720 --> 15:32.260
What do you want? 
I'd rather be brushing up for exams.

15:32.260 --> 15:36.140
I didn't take you for the type to stick your 
nose in the textbook till the last second.

15:36.440 --> 15:41.360
Didn't take me? You don't even 
know anything about me.

15:41.360 --> 15:43.150
Nope, I don't.

15:43.860 --> 15:46.820
So I'm sorry about what I said 
at the end yesterday.

15:46.820 --> 15:48.200
Wh-Wha?

15:48.700 --> 15:51.740
And thanks for coming to watch the game.

15:54.240 --> 15:56.250
Seriously, what's with you?

15:56.750 --> 15:58.290
I just figured...

15:58.290 --> 16:02.630
I can't face up to things unless I have 
the guts to own up to my mistakes.

16:03.250 --> 16:04.880
You're making no sense.

16:10.680 --> 16:12.260
What?!

16:12.260 --> 16:14.760
You're gonna stop going around with Saku?!

16:15.310 --> 16:18.270
But those Yan High guys 
were here just yesterday!

16:18.270 --> 16:22.230
I started thinking that maybe 
I was adding fuel to the fire.

16:22.230 --> 16:26.740
Maybe this would all be over if I'd just 
talked to him and turned him down.

16:26.740 --> 16:30.160
Do you really think they'd 
go away that easily?

16:30.160 --> 16:34.700
Well, somebody's gotta do something 
to put an end to all this.

16:34.700 --> 16:38.200
And that somebody's gotta be me.

16:42.630 --> 16:44.340
Thanks for the food.

16:44.340 --> 16:46.840
Thank you, Saku and everyone.

16:46.840 --> 16:51.260
I'll wrap this all up and go back to being 
the Yuzuki Nanase you all know and love!

16:56.600 --> 16:59.140
I'm still going after her, Saku.

16:59.140 --> 17:00.440
Feel free.

17:15.950 --> 17:18.960
Sorry, I know I called you out here. 
Did you wait long?

17:18.960 --> 17:21.000
Nah, you're good.

17:23.630 --> 17:25.280
No beating around the bush.

17:25.280 --> 17:27.800
I had Yuzuki stay over at my place last night.

17:28.300 --> 17:30.840
I can't give you any more advice with her.

17:32.050 --> 17:34.470
Oops, now I've done it.

17:45.270 --> 17:51.490
Uh, this is awkward, but can I assume that 
you're in <i>that</i> kind of relationship now?

17:51.490 --> 17:53.820
We didn't seal the deal or anything.

17:53.820 --> 17:58.280
But we did get into things. I saw her in 
a state of dress I'd never seen before,

17:58.280 --> 18:00.620
and I got to take photos and everything...

18:00.620 --> 18:02.500
I think I could get used to that.

18:02.500 --> 18:05.130
You mean you're gonna date her for real?

18:05.130 --> 18:07.750
Nah, I'm gonna stop pretending 
to be her boyfriend.

18:10.000 --> 18:13.130
Sorry, I'm not really following you here.

18:15.470 --> 18:19.220
<i>Since this was the last piece 
of advice I could give him,</i>

18:19.220 --> 18:25.150
<i>I believed in his character and gave him 
details on what happened with Yuzuki.</i>

18:25.600 --> 18:27.150
Huh...

18:28.570 --> 18:34.280
After hearing all that, I'm starting 
to think I don't stand a chance.

18:34.280 --> 18:38.410
It's up to you whether you 
stop there or take a step forward.

18:40.490 --> 18:42.620
Thanks for everything, Saku.

18:42.620 --> 18:44.410
I don't think I've grown any, though.

18:44.710 --> 18:48.130
That's because you're not trying to, you fool.

18:48.130 --> 18:50.920
When are you actually gonna go talk to her?

18:50.920 --> 18:53.550
When I've improved my chances of success...

18:53.550 --> 18:54.920
Keep dreaming, then.

19:07.600 --> 19:08.940
Asu-nee?

19:12.480 --> 19:14.150
Shall we go for a walk?

19:42.010 --> 19:44.890
Are you having trouble choosing a career path?

19:48.650 --> 19:54.400
Have you ever thought about 
leaving this small town?

19:56.070 --> 20:00.320
<i>Half of us Fukui natives have thought 
about it at least once in our lives,</i>

20:00.320 --> 20:03.370
<i>and the idea never even 
occurs to the other half.</i>

20:04.120 --> 20:07.620
I love this town, and I hate it.

20:08.580 --> 20:10.210
I am having trouble.

20:10.830 --> 20:15.380
To be more precise, I can't decide 
if I want to stay here or go to Tokyo.

20:16.670 --> 20:18.010
Tokyo...

20:19.590 --> 20:25.010
<i>Funnily, it's the one place that always 
comes to mind when I think of "not-Fukui."</i>

20:25.010 --> 20:26.680
<i>The big city to end all big cities.</i>

20:27.770 --> 20:32.730
<i>When I figured that Asu-nee, too, 
was beholden to that trite fantasy,</i>

20:33.190 --> 20:36.820
<i>I felt a little bit let down and 
a little bit relieved at the same time.</i>

20:37.440 --> 20:40.700
<i>And that made me sick to my stomach.</i>

20:44.870 --> 20:49.500
By the way, the Yuzuki thing 
will probably work out.

20:50.250 --> 20:54.030
You're not going to tell me 
the whole story like you always do?

20:54.660 --> 21:01.590
I'm preparing myself for the day when you 
won't be around to hear my stories.

21:02.340 --> 21:04.970
What a sad thing to say.

21:05.560 --> 21:08.730
Yeah, because I just heard 
something really sad.

21:10.980 --> 21:15.820
Perhaps this is how you and I 
are going to grow up.

21:16.980 --> 21:20.320
We'll stow our straw hats 
and dresses away in the closet

21:20.740 --> 21:23.070
and take out a prim-and-proper suits instead.

21:23.780 --> 21:28.660
I never wanna forget my shorts 
and sandals, personally.

21:29.620 --> 21:33.120
I'm sure that's perfect for you.

21:33.540 --> 21:34.830
But, Asu-nee...

21:36.500 --> 21:43.380
I think you'd look better in a pure white 
dress than a perfectly ironed suit.

21:45.360 --> 21:53.520
But I don't think you'd fall for the version 
of me that looked good in a white dress.
