WEBVTT
00:21.230 --> 00:22.540
Forgive me.
00:22.540 --> 00:26.050
Your welcome party is two months late,
and it's just you and me.
00:26.050 --> 00:28.750
The branch manager leaves
work right on the dot.
00:28.750 --> 00:29.950
No worries.
00:30.390 --> 00:34.510
Here we go, Kudo-kun. The shelled
shrimp is really good here.
00:34.510 --> 00:35.450
Right.
00:42.940 --> 00:47.380
By the way, our mahjong
friends mentioned today
00:47.380 --> 00:51.050
that there's apparently a
plan to demolish Kowloon.
00:51.540 --> 00:54.350
Well, it's already happened once before.
00:54.350 --> 00:54.890
What?
00:55.280 --> 00:58.710
It was demolished once back in 1994.
00:59.230 --> 01:01.890
Then what's this Kowloon?
01:02.260 --> 01:06.640
The official name of the current Kowloon
is the Second Kowloon Walled City.
01:06.640 --> 01:10.540
Kowloon was recreated illegally
after it was removed.
01:11.810 --> 01:14.330
Why remake it?
01:14.330 --> 01:18.030
It's kind of anachronistic, and to be frank,
it wouldn't hurt if it was gone.
01:18.570 --> 01:19.850
That's because...
01:20.510 --> 01:25.050
somewhere deep down,
everyone wants to go back.
01:25.560 --> 01:27.170
Back to the nostalgia.
01:27.680 --> 01:30.210
So it can't be erased
even if you want it to be.
01:32.390 --> 01:33.630
Maybe.
01:39.210 --> 01:40.680
Are you okay?
01:41.220 --> 01:42.800
Listen, Kudo-kun.
01:43.160 --> 01:46.050
You said you had a go-to spot.
01:46.300 --> 01:48.260
They serve alcohol too, right?
01:48.260 --> 01:49.620
Let's go there.
01:50.000 --> 01:50.820
No, we can't.
01:50.820 --> 01:52.400
Why not?!
01:52.400 --> 01:54.540
It's a bit of a walk from here.
01:54.540 --> 01:57.040
And you've already had too much to drink.
01:57.760 --> 02:00.810
Above all, I haven't gone there
enough to call myself a regular.
02:01.930 --> 02:02.830
Boo.
02:05.370 --> 02:07.390
Kujirai-san, your shoulder.
02:07.390 --> 02:08.470
My shoulder?
02:09.580 --> 02:10.840
Your strap!
02:12.470 --> 02:14.850
Oh, my bad.
02:14.850 --> 02:17.590
You really should be more cautious.
02:27.740 --> 02:34.480
Do you remember that I told you you're
the type to be well-loved by your elders?
03:03.980 --> 03:05.600
Oh, good morning.
03:06.710 --> 03:09.030
G-Good morning...
03:09.560 --> 03:11.030
Where am I?
03:11.030 --> 03:12.030
My place.
03:12.030 --> 03:12.900
What?!
03:15.150 --> 03:16.830
How are you feeling?
03:16.830 --> 03:19.960
You passed out on the rooftop yesterday.
03:19.960 --> 03:21.160
Don't you remember?
03:21.500 --> 03:22.950
Rooftop?
03:23.720 --> 03:26.370
And you slept like a log until now.
03:26.370 --> 03:28.110
Did you pull an all-nighter or something?
03:28.970 --> 03:31.170
It's true that I hadn't gotten enough sleep.
03:32.540 --> 03:34.550
About yesterday.
03:36.720 --> 03:37.900
Shall I tell you...
03:38.930 --> 03:41.530
about the Reiko Kujirai I know?
03:50.640 --> 03:52.380
Don't do it.
03:54.680 --> 03:55.900
No, thank you.
03:56.980 --> 03:58.030
You sure?
04:00.770 --> 04:03.650
Well, if that's what you want.
04:03.650 --> 04:05.780
I'm going to work now.
04:06.280 --> 04:09.460
You go home and get more rest.
04:09.460 --> 04:11.910
I'll explain things to the branch manager.
04:12.320 --> 04:13.910
Y-Yes...
04:16.230 --> 04:18.260
What did I do with my key?
04:19.420 --> 04:21.610
This is the spare key to your apartment.
04:21.920 --> 04:26.180
Are you really sure you don't
want to know why I have this?
04:29.760 --> 04:30.810
I'm sure.
04:31.600 --> 04:34.940
I left the spare key to
my room on the table.
04:35.320 --> 04:38.340
Lock up after yourself and leave
the key in the mailbox.
04:52.950 --> 04:55.120
Faat
06:33.210 --> 06:35.570
What's up with these outfits?
06:35.570 --> 06:37.480
Come on, we're in disguise.
06:38.600 --> 06:42.870
Hey, Miyuki-chan. Please don't go
walking around Kowloon alone, okay?
06:42.870 --> 06:44.230
Why not?
06:44.600 --> 06:48.040
Because... you might bump into
the second version of me.
06:49.460 --> 06:52.960
The fake Reiko Kujirai is in
love with Kudo-san too, right?
06:53.560 --> 06:57.750
Then the fake me is going
to hit on you. I know it.
06:58.020 --> 06:59.220
I see.
06:59.220 --> 07:03.230
I'd love to find out if the second version
of you would be interested in me.
07:03.640 --> 07:05.990
The more samples I have, the better.
07:05.990 --> 07:07.810
Miyuki-chan!
07:09.010 --> 07:13.640
Goldfish Teahouse
07:09.870 --> 07:12.070
Is this the place?
07:12.070 --> 07:14.850
Yeah. The exterior looks
the same as back then.
07:15.270 --> 07:19.870
We can't inspect the interior,
but let's check out the back door.
07:22.440 --> 07:24.270
It's not here. I knew it.
07:24.840 --> 07:27.880
I made a shelter so the stray cats
could get out of the rain.
07:28.330 --> 07:30.270
But it's not here.
07:30.270 --> 07:32.020
Not even a trace of it.
07:32.980 --> 07:36.290
This Kowloon isn't the Kowloon I know.
07:37.500 --> 07:39.430
There are other things that feel off.
07:39.430 --> 07:40.770
"Feel off"?
07:42.290 --> 07:52.050
NEW PRODUCT
Hebinuma Pharmaceutical
07:42.290 --> 07:52.050
Eyedrops
07:42.840 --> 07:43.710
This.
07:44.340 --> 07:48.300
It's a product we launched
three years ago.
07:48.300 --> 07:51.690
As you can see, this is
being sold as a new product.
07:52.040 --> 07:55.610
The peculiarities of Kowloon
lead to a number of logistical quirks.
07:55.610 --> 07:59.580
It's not strange to see a product released
three years ago marketed as new.
08:01.230 --> 08:03.540
Like I said, it's not just that.
08:03.540 --> 08:07.060
Things just feel shabbier
than when I lived here.
08:07.600 --> 08:09.270
Shabbier, huh?
08:09.270 --> 08:12.320
Even though Reiko Kujirai's
beauty mark is identical.
08:12.930 --> 08:14.080
Beauty mark?
08:14.080 --> 08:16.320
A mole under her left eye.
08:16.960 --> 08:19.990
Moles aren't duplicated in a clone.
08:19.990 --> 08:22.190
What? Then is she...
08:23.020 --> 08:26.580
This might be very entertaining indeed.
08:27.110 --> 08:30.480
She has the same appearance, voice,
08:30.480 --> 08:35.220
and warmth as the one you once loved,
and she loves you like she used to.
08:35.670 --> 08:39.370
But she doesn't have a memory of your love.
08:39.970 --> 08:44.980
Sai
Sing
Tower
08:40.850 --> 08:44.980
Can you imagine the utter despair?
08:48.740 --> 08:51.230
It's such an amazing place to work for!
08:51.490 --> 08:54.410
You were right to ask Xiaohei
for a recommendation.
08:54.410 --> 08:55.920
It's a job as a seamstress?
08:55.920 --> 08:59.150
Yes! There's no quota,
and they pay for overtime.
08:59.150 --> 09:02.480
So, you're looking refreshed, Reko-pon.
09:02.480 --> 09:04.500
Anything good happened to you?
09:05.200 --> 09:08.270
Kujirai B is a different person than me,
09:08.270 --> 09:11.190
and Kujirai B seems to have
passed away already.
09:11.630 --> 09:14.060
My gosh! So scary!
09:14.060 --> 09:17.890
Does that mean this is a dead person's room?
09:18.200 --> 09:20.920
Yes... I guess?
09:20.920 --> 09:23.060
Kudo-san seemed to know that too.
09:23.060 --> 09:25.940
"Seemed to"? You didn't ask?
09:26.500 --> 09:28.050
Don't do it.
09:30.020 --> 09:31.280
Why the hell not?!
09:31.620 --> 09:36.330
I felt like I would disappear if I did.
09:36.810 --> 09:39.020
Listen, Yaomay.
09:39.020 --> 09:41.530
I decided to become my absolute self.
09:41.870 --> 09:43.790
"Absolute self"?
09:44.270 --> 09:46.830
Say I do something and regret it.
09:46.830 --> 09:53.630
But if my decision was absolute,
then it wasn't a mistake.
09:53.630 --> 09:58.220
"Absolute" means trusting myself
and seeing things through.
09:58.220 --> 10:02.610
Even if just for a second, I want to be able to
say I am me, and no one else.
10:05.640 --> 10:07.840
That's really wonderful!
10:09.250 --> 10:15.270
But you know, looking identical to someone
and not having memories of your past...
10:15.270 --> 10:17.270
That mystery remains.
10:17.270 --> 10:19.810
Where on earth did you come from, Reko-pon?
10:20.270 --> 10:22.400
Director Hebinuma mentioned before
10:22.400 --> 10:27.370
that my wrinkles looked like they
were there from the beginning.
10:27.980 --> 10:29.540
This room, too.
10:29.540 --> 10:32.090
I can't remember when I started living here,
10:33.140 --> 10:36.240
but I remember where everything is.
10:36.710 --> 10:43.230
It's as if I'd been created to match
the life of Kujirai B.
10:43.630 --> 10:46.220
Do you mean like a clone?
10:48.030 --> 10:51.730
I saw this post online, so it's
sketchy to say the least.
10:52.080 --> 10:55.830
But they say they're planning clone
research with the Gene Terra project.
10:56.460 --> 11:00.860
The post has been deleted, but I wonder
if that has something to do with you.
11:00.860 --> 11:05.620
Oh, only they didn't call it a clone,
but they called it a Zirconian.
11:05.620 --> 11:10.880
Zirconian... I wonder if it comes
from zirconia, the artificial gem?
11:11.190 --> 11:12.530
I guess?
11:12.530 --> 11:16.060
Oh, my earrings today are also zirconia.
11:17.770 --> 11:21.770
Artificial gems. Fake diamonds.
11:22.700 --> 11:26.130
If I was created as a
fake from the beginning,
11:26.430 --> 11:31.940
is it too much for me to
ask to be a real thing?
11:33.770 --> 11:35.600
Turn off the light and come join me.
11:41.230 --> 11:42.110
Look.
11:44.790 --> 11:46.110
So pretty.
11:46.970 --> 11:52.710
Zirconia might be a fake that looks
like a diamond, but I like it.
11:53.440 --> 11:59.210
Maybe I feel affinity to it because I myself
am the result of plastic surgery.
11:59.990 --> 12:04.560
It encourages me that even a
fake can sparkle so brightly.
12:05.760 --> 12:07.270
Listen, Reko-pon.
12:07.270 --> 12:11.690
There are a lot people in the world who
say a fake is nothing but a fake.
12:11.950 --> 12:17.660
But there are people like me who
see genuine sparkle in a fake.
12:17.660 --> 12:18.940
Don't forget that.
12:20.320 --> 12:21.160
Right.
12:22.370 --> 12:24.540
Thank you, Yaomay.
12:29.010 --> 12:31.140
Good mornin'.
12:30.580 --> 12:32.580
Locker room
12:31.140 --> 12:32.570
Good morning.
12:32.570 --> 12:34.990
Yo. How are you feeling today?
12:34.990 --> 12:37.350
Meeting with Yaomay cheered me up.
12:38.080 --> 12:39.000
Hajime Kudo
12:38.080 --> 12:39.130
Wong Loi Realty
12:38.080 --> 12:40.570
I'm going to lunch with her again today.
12:38.920 --> 12:41.360
LATE
12:39.090 --> 12:41.360
LATE
12:39.090 --> 12:41.360
LATE
12:39.250 --> 12:41.360
LATE
12:44.210 --> 12:45.780
Thanks!
12:51.580 --> 12:53.970
That place was pretty good.
12:53.970 --> 12:57.190
Totally! By the way,
for the party we talked about...
12:57.190 --> 13:00.100
Let's bring a table and do
it on Xiaohei's rooftop.
13:00.100 --> 13:01.350
Love that idea.
13:01.850 --> 13:03.560
Are you going to invite Kudo-san?
13:03.560 --> 13:04.860
What should I do?
13:05.520 --> 13:07.620
Why did I hide?
13:08.740 --> 13:10.030
Listen, Reko-pon.
13:10.030 --> 13:12.380
Why don't you move out of that room?
13:12.910 --> 13:13.760
What?
13:15.040 --> 13:18.080
Throw all the stuff away
and buy new everything!
13:18.370 --> 13:21.040
Create a room of your own!
13:21.040 --> 13:23.580
Not a hand-me-down from Kujirai B.
13:25.130 --> 13:29.060
I kinda want to keep that room as it is.
13:29.060 --> 13:29.940
But why?!
13:29.940 --> 13:31.470
For Kudo-san's sake?
13:33.430 --> 13:35.370
For Kujirai B's sake.
13:35.370 --> 13:39.480
Huh? Even though she
no longer exists in this world?
13:39.480 --> 13:41.870
I know she doesn't.
13:41.870 --> 13:44.490
But that's why I want to keep it.
13:45.570 --> 13:49.780
I feel like that room is a fragment of her.
13:50.490 --> 13:52.480
If that room goes away,
13:52.480 --> 13:57.230
I feel like her presence itself will
be completely erased from the world.
13:58.090 --> 14:01.320
And I think I understand
how scary that can be.
14:01.880 --> 14:03.210
You do?
14:03.210 --> 14:04.770
You're not convinced?
14:04.770 --> 14:06.130
Not really.
14:17.590 --> 14:20.910
Hey. Was the new place any good?
14:22.810 --> 14:24.020
Yes.
14:27.940 --> 14:31.890
Um... Xiaohei's throwing
a housewarming party.
14:31.890 --> 14:33.560
Would you like to join us?
14:34.290 --> 14:35.520
Who's coming?
14:35.520 --> 14:38.060
It'll be me, Xiaohei, and Yaomay.
14:39.360 --> 14:42.380
I'll pass. You guys should
have fun on your own.
14:44.270 --> 14:46.020
I thought you might say that.
14:46.990 --> 14:48.880
I'd be willing to contribute, though.
14:51.050 --> 14:52.690
Wait, that much?!
14:53.130 --> 14:54.990
It's a special favor.
14:54.990 --> 14:57.310
Now we can splurge.
14:59.310 --> 15:02.300
Oops! I have a showing.
14:59.310 --> 15:09.450
Sai
Sing
Tower
15:02.720 --> 15:04.410
Thank you for your donation!
15:05.040 --> 15:06.930
Sure thing.
15:53.170 --> 15:56.300
So I'm not moving, and I'm
not throwing away anything.
15:57.930 --> 16:01.880
But then it's like your life
is being bound by Kujirai B.
16:03.230 --> 16:07.920
Exhaling CO²
16:08.400 --> 16:12.920
That girl is breathing
16:13.250 --> 16:15.940
Celebrating Xiaohei's new apartment...
16:15.940 --> 16:17.940
Cheers!
16:17.940 --> 16:19.170
Cheers!
16:19.450 --> 16:20.980
So you are here?
16:20.980 --> 16:24.020
Xiaohei forced me to come.
16:24.020 --> 16:26.220
The more, the merrier!
16:26.220 --> 16:28.140
I see lemon chicken!
16:28.140 --> 16:29.820
I'll serve it for you guys.
16:29.820 --> 16:31.240
Here you go, Kudo-san.
16:31.670 --> 16:32.730
Thanks.
16:35.100 --> 16:35.980
Um...
16:35.980 --> 16:37.530
Got a problem?
16:37.530 --> 16:38.730
Absolutely not.
16:39.330 --> 16:40.700
Listen, Reko-pon!
16:40.700 --> 16:43.290
Remember our discussion
about a new place?
16:43.760 --> 16:46.140
I found you a nice-looking room.
16:46.140 --> 16:48.260
Are you moving too, Kujirai?
16:48.260 --> 16:50.640
I told you I'm not.
16:50.640 --> 16:52.710
Taking a look at it may change your mind!
16:52.710 --> 16:53.880
It won't.
16:55.010 --> 16:56.890
What do you think, Kudo-san?
16:56.890 --> 16:59.270
It's not a bad idea to move out of that room
16:59.270 --> 17:02.070
and make a clean start
in a new room, right?
17:02.070 --> 17:03.010
Yaomay!
17:03.590 --> 17:08.020
If "Reko-pon" hates that room and
wants to move out, then why not?
17:08.840 --> 17:11.020
I don't hate it, so I'm not moving.
17:15.030 --> 17:16.910
Let's split into two teams,
17:16.910 --> 17:19.710
one to throw away trash and one to
clean up the tables and chairs.
17:19.710 --> 17:21.240
I'll take out the trash.
17:21.240 --> 17:22.660
I'll come with you.
17:27.900 --> 17:29.540
Let's go for a smoke.
17:29.540 --> 17:30.380
Okay.
17:34.870 --> 17:37.710
Kudo-san, may I borrow a cigarette?
17:37.710 --> 17:38.860
I'm out.
17:39.260 --> 17:42.090
Too bad! This is my last one.
17:42.670 --> 17:44.490
Well then, take your time.
17:44.920 --> 17:46.060
Sorry.
17:49.820 --> 17:52.320
I thought it felt really bright.
17:52.850 --> 17:55.070
There's a full moon tonight.
17:56.070 --> 18:10.830
Hebinuma General
17:56.070 --> 18:10.830
Center
17:57.050 --> 17:58.870
You know how Director Hebinuma
17:58.870 --> 18:02.250
mentioned he wanted to open
another clinic in Kowloon?
18:02.250 --> 18:04.110
I wonder what happened to that.
18:04.110 --> 18:06.510
When he visited the office last time—
18:06.510 --> 18:08.570
The day he kissed you?
18:08.570 --> 18:10.430
Well, yes...
18:21.810 --> 18:23.470
What are you doing?!
18:23.470 --> 18:26.030
You leave yourself too open.
18:32.380 --> 18:36.540
They say the moon shines because
it reflects the sunlight.
18:37.290 --> 18:40.920
So what light does Gene
Terra reflect to shine?
18:48.860 --> 18:51.490
Gene Terra looks like it's shining because...
18:53.070 --> 18:54.680
we have high hopes for it.
18:55.140 --> 18:56.280
High hopes?
18:57.470 --> 19:00.760
Everyone has high hopes for Generic Terra.
19:00.760 --> 19:04.700
That's why it looks so appealing
and shines so brightly.
19:11.820 --> 19:16.160
Under the tree of bougainvillea
19:16.570 --> 19:20.750
I look for her
19:21.090 --> 19:25.090
But the moonlight gets in the way
19:25.090 --> 19:29.210
And I can't find her fragments
19:32.550 --> 19:34.550
Me, having high hopes?
19:37.790 --> 19:40.640
Something's definitely wrong
with Kowloon this summer.
19:43.780 --> 19:45.090
Riichi!
19:45.350 --> 19:46.290
Again?!
19:46.290 --> 19:48.090
Kudo, you're on a roll!
19:48.390 --> 19:50.610
Hello! In the middle of a game?
19:50.610 --> 19:52.400
Kujirai-chan!
19:52.400 --> 19:55.920
I thought you were going to lunch
with your seamstress friend.
19:55.920 --> 19:57.360
Her name's Yaomay.
19:57.360 --> 20:02.400
She's off today, so I thought I'd go for
boiled dumplings with you for a change.
20:02.950 --> 20:04.190
Oh yeah?
20:04.190 --> 20:07.090
Oh? No Mr. Chan today?
20:07.420 --> 20:09.300
Absent without notice.
20:10.250 --> 20:13.080
Hebinuma General
20:10.290 --> 20:13.080
Center
20:10.650 --> 20:14.340
I'm sorry for summoning you
out of nowhere, Mr. Chan.
20:15.040 --> 20:16.940
You mentioned my health checkup.
20:16.940 --> 20:20.350
Don't tell me you've found
something's wrong with me.
20:24.470 --> 20:26.260
I've brought him here.
20:26.260 --> 20:28.900
We're entering Kowloon right now.
20:29.250 --> 20:32.090
Whoa, this takes me back!
20:32.090 --> 20:34.290
You've got to be kidding me.
20:34.290 --> 20:36.600
I'm just fine, as you can see!
20:38.610 --> 20:40.150
We're in.
20:43.620 --> 20:45.620
Would you like to meet him?
20:46.800 --> 20:51.300
No. Please give him the gratuity
and escort him back to his home.
20:53.210 --> 20:56.130
What an unexpected turn of events.
20:56.950 --> 21:00.360
It's not a place you can predict.
21:07.890 --> 21:10.010
There's an existing item named "Sai On Tower" in this location.
Do you want to replace?
21:07.890 --> 21:10.010
No
21:07.890 --> 21:10.010
Replace
21:10.010 --> 21:12.020
There's an existing item named "Sai On Tower" in this location.
Do you want to replace?
21:10.010 --> 21:12.020
No
21:10.010 --> 21:12.020
Replace
21:18.600 --> 21:22.100
Well, we're back to square one.
21:22.100 --> 21:26.000
But most likely, the second version
of you no longer exists.
21:26.000 --> 21:27.280
Happy now?
21:27.620 --> 21:29.020
Very much!
21:29.520 --> 21:32.040
Anyhow, how did you manage
to find Mr. Chan?
21:32.040 --> 21:33.510
We got lucky.
21:33.510 --> 21:38.790
By the way, I'm contacting the Wong Loi
Realty in Japan about Hajime Kudo.
21:39.780 --> 21:40.940
Kudo-san...
21:41.800 --> 21:47.670
I never asked, but what was Reiko
Kujirai's cause of death?
21:47.680 --> 21:51.930
Wong Loi Realty Company
21:49.710 --> 21:51.510
'Kay, let's go home.
21:55.870 --> 21:59.070
Do you think Mr. Chan is doing okay?
21:59.070 --> 22:00.920
He lives alone, doesn't he?
22:00.920 --> 22:02.980
You think he might've dropped dead at home?
22:02.980 --> 22:05.860
D-Don't say stuff like that!
22:07.170 --> 22:10.200
People can die so easily, you know?
22:10.810 --> 22:14.550
I'd rather not talk about it.
22:15.780 --> 22:20.060
Kudo-san and I both said back then that
it must've been some kind of mistake.
22:21.200 --> 22:22.120
Because...
22:24.990 --> 22:26.100
Kujirai.
22:26.510 --> 22:27.600
You...
22:28.120 --> 22:29.720
How much do you know?
22:29.990 --> 22:30.810
Huh?
22:33.250 --> 22:37.910
Th-That she no longer exists in this world.
22:40.550 --> 22:43.370
Who did you hear it from?
22:44.150 --> 22:46.600
The server at the Goldfish Teahouse.
22:46.600 --> 22:49.650
Gwen?! Did you see him?
22:49.650 --> 22:51.200
Y-Yes.
22:51.200 --> 22:54.650
I bumped into him a while ago,
and that's what he told me.
22:55.350 --> 22:56.690
Okay.
22:59.160 --> 23:00.960
I see.
23:07.370 --> 23:11.170
I can see why you find it incomprehensible.
23:11.520 --> 23:15.680
And why you're angry with the
second version of Reiko Kujirai
23:15.680 --> 23:19.170
and are concerned about the
whereabouts of Hajime Kudo.
23:22.790 --> 23:24.150
Kudo-san?
23:29.720 --> 23:33.080
I killed Reiko Kujirai.
23:43.300 --> 23:45.370
Must have been a mistake.
