[Fudge] We're off.

5
00:01:50,214 --> 00:01:52,216
[Aoba] Bill, lock up when you're done.

00:01:52,299 --> 00:01:53,217
FESTIVAL OF THE METEOR

7
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,469
[Bill] Sure thing! Just finishing up.

00:01:56,595 --> 00:01:57,721
[sighs]

9
00:01:57,805 --> 00:02:02,226
But before I do,
time for a little bite to eat.

[Bill] <i>No way...</i>

15
00:02:13,571 --> 00:02:15,990

[gasps]

17
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:22,163
<i>So if I ate this... would that be bad?</i>

18
00:02:23,038 --> 00:02:25,958
<i>Bill the Bengal Tiger,
you better think about this.</i>

19
00:02:26,876 --> 00:02:28,669
<i>Devouring is a serious crime,</i>

20
00:02:28,752 --> 00:02:34,425
<i>so that's why carnivores stick to getting
our protein from milk and eggs instead.</i>

21
00:02:34,508 --> 00:02:37,469
<i>This is a tricky one.</i>

22
00:02:37,553 --> 00:02:40,139
<i>Can I eat it? Or not?</i>

23
00:02:40,848 --> 00:02:45,519
<i>Well, I mean, look.
This tiny thing's probably going to die.</i>

24
00:02:45,603 --> 00:02:47,229
<i>I have to say...</i>

[salivating]

26
00:02:48,397 --> 00:02:50,900
<i>It would probably be crazy delicious.</i>

27
00:02:51,901 --> 00:02:54,945
[Louis] Honestly, I couldn't care less
about you swallowing some animal blood

28
00:02:55,029 --> 00:02:56,488
to pep yourself up.

29
00:02:57,281 --> 00:03:01,160
{\an8}[Bill] <i>Apologies, buddy.
This is just who I am, Louis.</i>

30
00:03:01,243 --> 00:03:03,913
<i>I'm a fan of instant gratification.</i>

31
00:03:03,996 --> 00:03:07,875
<i>And if I'm being real with myself,
I half-ass everything.</i>

32
00:03:07,958 --> 00:03:11,670
<i>I guess I'm just carnivore trash
who loves eating meat!</i>

33
00:03:11,754 --> 00:03:14,006
- [Pina] Are you going to eat that?
- [Bill exclaims]

34
00:03:14,089 --> 00:03:17,468
- Wow, first time I've seen this.
- [grunts in frustration]

35
00:03:17,551 --> 00:03:20,554
I've heard of situations like this
occasionally, but...

36
00:03:20,638 --> 00:03:22,890
[stuttering] I thought you went home!

37
00:03:22,973 --> 00:03:25,017
Ah, now I see.

38
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,019
You were hoping nobody would be around

39
00:03:27,102 --> 00:03:28,938
{\an8}to see you end that thing's life,
am I right?

40

{\an8}[Bill seethes]

41
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:33,067
{\an8}I'll be able to use this

{\an8}[Bill grunting]

43
00:03:34,109 --> 00:03:35,402
{\an8}Go ahead, don't let me stop you.

44
00:03:35,486 --> 00:03:37,613
{\an8}- As if I'm not even here.
- Huh?

45
00:03:37,696 --> 00:03:39,156
{\an8}I'll be taking a few notes.

{\an8}[Bill growls]

47
00:03:40,157 --> 00:03:44,078

It's unfair and cruel.

00:03:44,161 --> 00:03:45,079
[Bill] Huh?

49
00:03:45,162 --> 00:03:49,625
[Pina] Riz, for example, is sitting
in juvie right now for eating a classmate.

50
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:51,835
Meanwhile, you'll eat that thing,

51
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:56,423
and your peaceful life at school
continues on as if it never happened.

52
00:03:56,507 --> 00:03:58,175
Of course I won't eat it!

53
00:03:58,259 --> 00:04:01,679
Oh. If that's the case,
what are you going to do?

54
00:04:01,762 --> 00:04:03,847
Save the thing, obviously!

55
00:04:03,931 --> 00:04:08,811
Wow! Carnivores are amazingly complex.
I'm learning a lot.

56
00:04:08,894 --> 00:04:09,728
[Bill growls]

57
00:04:09,812 --> 00:04:13,190
I didn't realize you had
as many layers as you do stripes.

58
00:04:13,274 --> 00:04:15,025
- You little...
- [chick squeaks]

59
00:04:15,109 --> 00:04:15,943
- Hmm?
- Huh?

00:04:17,361 --> 00:04:18,570

[chuckles]

65
00:04:26,287 --> 00:04:29,164
[Bill] You're all warm and cozy now,
I bet.

66
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,793
It says the parent bird's body heat is...

[chick squeaking]

68
00:04:34,545 --> 00:04:35,379
It's burning!

[squeaks]

72
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,470
Sure you weren't making yakitori?

73
00:04:43,554 --> 00:04:45,097
Not funny, Pina.

74
00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:47,641
But, speaking of yakitori,
what's this thing eat?

75
00:04:47,725 --> 00:04:49,101
Let's see.

76
00:04:49,184 --> 00:04:51,979
What does a baby chick eat?

77
00:04:53,355 --> 00:04:55,024
A FEW DAYS LATER

78
00:04:55,107 --> 00:04:59,153
[Kai] I mean, come on,
I just wish those two would cut it out.

79
00:04:59,236 --> 00:05:01,238
[Fudge] Huh? Juno and Pina?

80
00:05:01,322 --> 00:05:05,743
Yeah. The tension between them is totally
ruining the vibe, if you ask me.

81
00:05:05,826 --> 00:05:08,787
Well, hopefully
those two will get all that sorted out.

82
00:05:08,871 --> 00:05:11,040
If they don't, we're screwed.

83
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:12,833
[exclaims]

84
00:05:14,918 --> 00:05:16,920
Sorry about that. My bad, you guys.

85
00:05:17,004 --> 00:05:20,257
Hey! You know how much it would've cost
if you broke one of our lights?

86
00:05:20,341 --> 00:05:22,217
Like it would've mattered.

87
00:05:22,301 --> 00:05:24,845
You know the principal
would just buy you babies a new one.

88
00:05:24,928 --> 00:05:26,347
What?

89
00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:30,225
Everyone at school knows you rejects
are all the principal's little pets.

90
00:05:30,309 --> 00:05:33,645
[laughs] Even after that devouring,
you little brats are still spoiled.

91
00:05:33,729 --> 00:05:36,106
All you carnivores and herbivores
playing pretend.

92
00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:39,109
So who's gonna be on the menu
at your next rehearsal?

93
00:05:39,193 --> 00:05:40,361
[Kai] All right, enough!

94
00:05:40,444 --> 00:05:41,945
Your paws are gonna look good

95
00:05:42,029 --> 00:05:43,197
- shoved up your--
- [Bill] Cut it out!

96
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,573
Huh?

97
00:05:47,493 --> 00:05:50,996
The drama club president's
here to save the day.

98
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,458
Have you guys had lunch yet?

99
00:05:57,002 --> 00:05:58,253
[all exclaim]

100
00:05:58,337 --> 00:05:59,463
Those look sharp.

101
00:05:59,546 --> 00:06:00,464
Yeah. Time to go.

102
00:06:00,547 --> 00:06:03,717
[basketball player laughing]
Don't know about you, but I like living.

103
00:06:04,384 --> 00:06:08,097
We gotta keep our heads down.
Let's just focus on the show.

104
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:09,598
Yeah, but come on...

105
00:06:09,681 --> 00:06:12,518
[Bill] Hurry up,
this stuff needs to get to the club room.

106
00:06:12,601 --> 00:06:16,438
Hey, you're stronger than all of us.
Wanna lend a hand?

107
00:06:17,147 --> 00:06:18,899
[Bill] I'm busy right now.

108
00:06:21,235 --> 00:06:23,028
[Kai] I wonder what's going on with him.

109
00:06:23,112 --> 00:06:26,740
I heard he spaced out in class,
and the professor called him on it.

110
00:06:26,824 --> 00:06:28,408
And he hasn't been at his dorm much.

111
00:06:28,492 --> 00:06:30,619
I bet it's got something
to do with a girl.

112
00:06:30,702 --> 00:06:31,954
So who we talkin' about?

113
00:06:32,037 --> 00:06:33,205
[Aoba, Fudge and Kai exclaim]

114
00:06:33,288 --> 00:06:36,834
It felt like I saw the start
of an argument from over there. [chuckles]

115
00:06:36,917 --> 00:06:38,669
I came over hoping to be entertained.

116
00:06:38,752 --> 00:06:40,420
[Kai] It wasn't a show for you!

117
00:06:40,504 --> 00:06:41,713
Oh, really?

118
00:06:42,631 --> 00:06:45,008
Bill doesn't seem like himself lately.

119
00:06:45,676 --> 00:06:48,595
[Fudge] He doesn't really strike me
as the broody type.

120
00:06:48,679 --> 00:06:50,055
[Pina] Hmm.

121
00:06:51,181 --> 00:06:53,851
- [Bill grunting]
- [scraping]

122
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:58,564
Hmm?

123
00:06:59,314 --> 00:07:00,440
[frustrated sigh]

124
00:07:01,567 --> 00:07:04,444
[Bill] <i>Ugh, why is this so tough?</i>

125
00:07:05,821 --> 00:07:08,657
[chirping]

126
00:07:10,868 --> 00:07:13,954
Sorry, I couldn't find very much today.

127
00:07:14,037 --> 00:07:16,540
Don't choke on this, huh? Open up.

128
00:07:17,374 --> 00:07:18,292
[gulps]

129
00:07:18,375 --> 00:07:21,295
[chirping]

130
00:07:21,378 --> 00:07:23,797
{\an8}Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be enough.

131
00:07:23,881 --> 00:07:25,674
{\an8}[Pina] Apparently
they like eating rice too.

132
00:07:25,757 --> 00:07:27,342
[exclaims] You scared me!

133
00:07:27,426 --> 00:07:28,343
[Pina] Hello.

134
00:07:28,427 --> 00:07:30,554
Aoba's the one that told me
they like rice.

135
00:07:30,637 --> 00:07:32,389
[Bill grunts] You told Aoba?

136
00:07:32,473 --> 00:07:35,476
I didn't tell him about your little guy.

137
00:07:35,559 --> 00:07:37,519
I told him I only wanted to know

138
00:07:37,603 --> 00:07:40,439
just in case the day came
when I happen to get a bird pregnant.

139
00:07:40,522 --> 00:07:42,441
[sighs in relief] Thanks for that.

140
00:07:47,654 --> 00:07:49,781
Would you look at that. Isn't it great?

141
00:07:49,865 --> 00:07:51,533
Huh? What's great?

142
00:07:51,617 --> 00:07:53,035
That it's looking healthy.

143
00:07:53,911 --> 00:07:55,037
You are happy, right?

144
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,749
Of course I'm happy! However...

145
00:07:58,832 --> 00:08:00,000
However?

146
00:08:01,001 --> 00:08:04,421
- No, it's nothing.
- Hmm.

147
00:08:05,172 --> 00:08:06,173
[Bill] You can go.

148
00:08:06,256 --> 00:08:07,966
[Pina] I'm not here for this little bird,

149
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:10,761
I told you I'm observing you
for my acting research.

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,348
[Bill] It's weird seeing
your tender side come out.

151
00:08:14,431 --> 00:08:16,517
[Pina] What? I'm just calm.

152
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,314
Sometimes I'm even able to scare myself,
but this bird has no idea what fear is.

153
00:08:22,397 --> 00:08:23,649
[chick squeaks]

154
00:08:23,732 --> 00:08:26,109
[Bill] Do you know how close I came
to eating you?

155
00:08:26,193 --> 00:08:27,027
[chirps]

156
00:08:27,611 --> 00:08:29,321
[Bill chuckles softly]

157
00:08:36,078 --> 00:08:37,913
[Deshico] Ah, let's see...

158
00:08:38,914 --> 00:08:39,998
Mm-hmm.

159
00:08:40,666 --> 00:08:41,833
Mm.

160
00:08:42,751 --> 00:08:44,002
Mmm-hmm...

161
00:08:45,754 --> 00:08:46,630
Ugh.

162
00:08:46,713 --> 00:08:47,839
[spitting]

163
00:08:47,923 --> 00:08:49,925
The east side is certainly no good.

164
00:08:50,551 --> 00:08:52,052
Well, this is an off-year, remember.

165
00:08:52,135 --> 00:08:55,514
But that doesn't mean
quality can have an off-year, too.

166
00:08:55,597 --> 00:08:56,765
[inhales]

167
00:08:56,848 --> 00:09:00,894
By the way, did the Shishi-Gumi
come to pay for the Melda?

168
00:09:00,978 --> 00:09:04,231
No. They were busy
with the Masquerade Party,

169
00:09:04,314 --> 00:09:05,857
then said they were short on cash.

170
00:09:05,941 --> 00:09:10,153
And here I was thinking that
the lions would make a good target.

171
00:09:10,237 --> 00:09:12,990
The problem is their leader, isn't it?

172
00:09:13,073 --> 00:09:16,577
And speaking of,
I heard their boss is missing.

173
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:17,995
[chuckles]

174
00:09:18,078 --> 00:09:22,541
There's a reason I've been doing so much
research into hybrids like him, you know.

175
00:09:22,624 --> 00:09:27,879
We'll just have to make sure
that Melon takes responsibility.

176
00:09:30,173 --> 00:09:34,845
[Corne] The first victim was a herbivore.
The culprit, a carnivore.

177
00:09:34,928 --> 00:09:35,804
SUSPECT DEAD, VICTIM DEAD

178
00:09:35,887 --> 00:09:37,598
[Corne] Then it was lights out
for that same carnivore.

179
00:09:39,391 --> 00:09:42,019
Which brings us to this delightful case.

180
00:09:42,603 --> 00:09:45,230
We're seeing the same pattern
pop up again.

181
00:09:45,314 --> 00:09:47,649
The carnivore culprit
turns into the victim.

182
00:09:47,733 --> 00:09:51,612
Are we seeing a vigilante
punishing devourers then?

183
00:09:51,695 --> 00:09:52,863
[Corne sighs]

184
00:09:52,946 --> 00:09:57,326
Maybe we have a psychic vigilante
who knew they'd be committing a devouring.

185
00:09:57,409 --> 00:09:58,368
[mouse clicks]

186
00:09:59,202 --> 00:10:01,705
[Corne] And in this morning's case,
our greatest hits again.

187
00:10:01,788 --> 00:10:02,873
[mouse clicks]

188
00:10:03,832 --> 00:10:06,335
- [mouse clicks]
- [Corne] Look what we have here.

189
00:10:06,418 --> 00:10:07,711
[Yahya] Kines?

190
00:10:09,171 --> 00:10:11,923
Their entire stock
was supposed to be discontinued.

191
00:10:13,091 --> 00:10:15,677
So where are they getting their supply?

192
00:10:15,761 --> 00:10:17,763
I've got a theory on the victims--

193
00:10:17,846 --> 00:10:19,389
- [yelps]
- [thud]

194
00:10:20,015 --> 00:10:21,808
[Corne groaning] I'm gonna feel that one.

195
00:10:21,892 --> 00:10:26,104
Reason 100 I hate using a mouse.
Oh, that smarts.

196
00:10:27,898 --> 00:10:30,233
[panting]

197
00:10:31,943 --> 00:10:32,944
Ms. Seven!

198
00:10:33,028 --> 00:10:34,112
[Seven] Huh?

199
00:10:34,821 --> 00:10:38,492
[sighs in relief]
Legoshi, you came all the way to see me?

200
00:10:38,575 --> 00:10:43,622
I took it upon myself to call him.
They say the more the merrier, right?

201
00:10:44,373 --> 00:10:48,293
- Are you okay? I...
- Ah, I just discovered it.

202
00:10:48,377 --> 00:10:50,087
That's all that happened.

203
00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:54,007
This morning, when I stopped by the shop,
it was such an awful scene.

204
00:10:54,091 --> 00:10:56,927
And so I ended up fainting
right on the spot.

205
00:10:57,010 --> 00:11:00,222
Oh... Ms. Seven, are you hurt?

206
00:11:00,305 --> 00:11:02,599
Ah, I'm fine. Not hurt at all.

207
00:11:02,683 --> 00:11:03,684
[Legoshi sighs in relief]

208
00:11:03,767 --> 00:11:05,310
That's great!

209
00:11:08,522 --> 00:11:10,482
I hear the crime scene's weird.

210
00:11:10,565 --> 00:11:14,653
The culprit devoured the shop clerk
and then was killed by someone else.

211
00:11:14,736 --> 00:11:18,323
And whoever did it,
they still haven't found him or her.

212
00:11:18,407 --> 00:11:21,993
[Legoshi] Wait, so, you're saying
there were two separate murders?

213
00:11:22,077 --> 00:11:25,914
It seems the shop clerk
was devoured by her own lover.

214
00:11:25,997 --> 00:11:28,333
An interspecies couple, yeah.

215
00:11:28,417 --> 00:11:29,793
Oh...

216
00:11:29,876 --> 00:11:33,880
[Seven] There's been a lot of devourings
lately between interspecies couples.

217
00:11:33,964 --> 00:11:35,257
[Legoshi groans uneasily]

218
00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:36,716
[Seven] It makes you wonder

219
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,928
if interspecies relationships
can ever be safe.

220
00:11:40,011 --> 00:11:42,139
Or are they always deadly?

221
00:11:42,222 --> 00:11:44,975
Well, I guess that's for them
to figure out themselves.

222
00:11:45,058 --> 00:11:46,977
[sighs softly]
Yeah, you're right about that.

223
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:50,730
But anyway there's nothing to worry about.
I'm totally fine. Really.

224
00:11:51,356 --> 00:11:52,232
Right.

225
00:11:52,315 --> 00:11:55,986
I'm glad to hear that.
If you need some quiet time, I understand.

226
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:57,320
Yeah.

227
00:11:57,404 --> 00:12:00,699
You show concern in a different way
than most carnivores do.

228
00:12:00,782 --> 00:12:02,617
[Legoshi] Oh, uh...

229
00:12:02,701 --> 00:12:04,119
It was sweet of you to check on me.

230
00:12:04,202 --> 00:12:06,246
[Legoshi] Oh, uh...

231
00:12:06,329 --> 00:12:08,415
[Legoshi exclaims]

232
00:12:08,498 --> 00:12:10,333
I've gotta make my way back to work.

233
00:12:10,417 --> 00:12:13,253
I'm glad you're okay.
Call me if you need anything.

234
00:12:13,336 --> 00:12:14,754
Bye!

235
00:12:14,838 --> 00:12:16,631
[rushed footsteps]

236
00:12:16,715 --> 00:12:19,968
Legoshi. Feelings make him bashful.

237
00:12:20,051 --> 00:12:21,136
Ah.

238
00:12:24,181 --> 00:12:26,016
{\an8}[Lisa] Sorry for dragging you along.

239
00:12:26,099 --> 00:12:27,726
Is this guy really that cool?

240
00:12:27,809 --> 00:12:29,144
He's amazing.

241
00:12:29,227 --> 00:12:32,230
I saw him on the news and I was like,
"Oh, there's my boy!"

242
00:12:32,314 --> 00:12:34,649
So cool, and it doesn't hurt
that he's such a cutie.

243
00:12:34,733 --> 00:12:36,359
- [Haru laughs]
- Ah, over there!

244
00:12:36,443 --> 00:12:40,071
- [music playing]
- So, uh, what sport does he play?

245
00:12:40,780 --> 00:12:43,450
[Lisa] Well, I don't think
he's really a sports guy...

246
00:12:44,242 --> 00:12:45,952
Look! There he is!

247
00:12:46,036 --> 00:12:47,454
What?

248
00:12:49,748 --> 00:12:50,957
[host] All right, everyone!

249
00:12:51,041 --> 00:12:54,211
Today's guest is our ambassador
for the Zoolympic bid,

250
00:12:54,294 --> 00:12:56,671
and I can't think
of a better choice to represent us!

251
00:12:56,755 --> 00:13:00,926
He's the heir of The Horns Conglomerate.
It's Louis the red deer!

252
00:13:01,009 --> 00:13:02,427
It's a pleasure to be here.

253
00:13:02,511 --> 00:13:03,345
I LOVE LOUIS

254
00:13:03,428 --> 00:13:04,888
[host] We're all thrilled to be empowered

255
00:13:04,971 --> 00:13:07,599
by the wisdom
I'm sure we'll receive from our guest.

256
00:13:07,682 --> 00:13:08,892
Ready, and...

257
00:13:08,975 --> 00:13:11,019
- Empower!
- [recording] <i>Empower!</i>

258
00:13:11,686 --> 00:13:16,233
[Haru] <i>I had no idea he'd been so...
public lately.</i>

259
00:13:16,316 --> 00:13:18,193
<i>He's really in another galaxy now.</i>

260
00:13:18,276 --> 00:13:19,653
<i>- I mean, he always was.</i>
- [host] All right,

261
00:13:19,736 --> 00:13:22,531
we've got some great questions
from our listeners! Question one.

262
00:13:22,614 --> 00:13:26,409
Were you only chosen as ambassador
because you're related to a big sponsor?

263
00:13:26,493 --> 00:13:27,661
[Louis] Not at all.

264
00:13:27,744 --> 00:13:31,289
Just as we can't choose what species
we are before we're born,

265
00:13:31,373 --> 00:13:33,542
we also can't choose our family, right?

266
00:13:34,251 --> 00:13:37,504
It just so happens
that my father is chairman of Horns.

267
00:13:37,587 --> 00:13:39,589
[recording] <i>Empower!</i>

268
00:13:39,673 --> 00:13:42,634
Have you ever seen more amazing eyelashes?

269
00:13:42,717 --> 00:13:44,135
I guess...

270
00:13:44,219 --> 00:13:47,347
And I heard you had
your own fan club in high school?

271
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:48,932
Where'd you hear something like that?

272
00:13:49,015 --> 00:13:53,311
I'm sure you were around all walks of life
in school, like carnivore ladies, right?

273
00:13:53,395 --> 00:13:56,815
Well, some carnivore gals
made their way here to see you!

274
00:13:56,898 --> 00:14:00,694
Someone's species
is really nothing more than an attribute.

275
00:14:00,777 --> 00:14:04,197
In my opinion, the path
we choose to walk is what matters.

276
00:14:04,281 --> 00:14:06,700
The choices we make as individuals,

277
00:14:06,783 --> 00:14:08,910
not what species you happen to be.

278
00:14:08,994 --> 00:14:11,121
[recording] <i>Empower!</i>

279
00:14:11,204 --> 00:14:12,455
So great!

280
00:14:12,539 --> 00:14:15,709
Now let's dig a little bit deeper.
[chuckles]

281
00:14:15,792 --> 00:14:18,628
I'm gonna read an email we got. Uh...

282
00:14:18,712 --> 00:14:22,424
"I'm afraid to tell my friends and family
I fell in love with a carnivore."

283
00:14:22,507 --> 00:14:24,467
How would you handle this, Louis?

284
00:14:27,721 --> 00:14:29,472
[soft music playing]

285
00:14:29,556 --> 00:14:30,891
{\an8}Well, I have a friend...

286
00:14:30,974 --> 00:14:32,017
Huh?

287
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:34,686
- Their worry has been weighing on them.
- Hmm.

288
00:14:34,769 --> 00:14:37,188
They're scared that
living the way they want

289
00:14:37,272 --> 00:14:40,275
might cause trouble
for their parents or those close to them.

290
00:14:40,358 --> 00:14:41,484
[host] Oh...

291
00:14:42,152 --> 00:14:45,697
{\an8}And they weren't sure if the thing
they actually wanted was worth

292
00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:48,074
{\an8}- all the trouble that would come--
- [recording] <i>Empower!</i>

293
00:14:48,158 --> 00:14:49,451
Oh, I didn't mean to press that!

294
00:14:49,534 --> 00:14:52,412
[chuckles] I don't think we missed
any wisdom from me.

295
00:14:52,495 --> 00:14:55,749
[host] Okay! Let's move on to a request.

296
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,712
[Haru] All right, here we go.

297
00:15:00,795 --> 00:15:01,630
[camera clicks]

298
00:15:03,089 --> 00:15:04,466
Thank you. You're so sweet.

299
00:15:04,549 --> 00:15:05,508
My pleasure.

300
00:15:05,592 --> 00:15:06,635
[Lisa chuckling excitedly]

301
00:15:06,718 --> 00:15:08,637
I can't believe you're actually friends
with him!

302
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,971
- [chuckling nervously]
- Since when?

303
00:15:10,055 --> 00:15:11,598
All right, well, it's good to see you.

304
00:15:11,681 --> 00:15:12,766
What? You're leaving?

305
00:15:12,849 --> 00:15:15,101
Yeah, Lisa and I have shopping to do.

306
00:15:15,185 --> 00:15:17,395
- [Lisa] Aw. We can go another time!
- Huh?

307
00:15:17,479 --> 00:15:20,065
The mall's not going anywhere!
He's your friend, right?

308
00:15:20,148 --> 00:15:22,275
- Well, it's just--
- Stop it. Just stay and chat him up!

309
00:15:22,359 --> 00:15:24,486
Ah, he's busy! I thought we were shopping.

310
00:15:24,569 --> 00:15:27,530
Oh, we can do it another day.
See you back at school.

311
00:15:27,614 --> 00:15:29,282
- [Haru] Uh, okay...
- Later!

312
00:15:29,366 --> 00:15:31,785
[Haru] Well, I guess... Bye!

313
00:15:32,452 --> 00:15:35,372
It's kind of refreshing,
seeing you with a friend, Haru.

314
00:15:35,455 --> 00:15:38,792
[scoffs] That's not rude at all.
I've had friends since elementary school.

315
00:15:38,875 --> 00:15:40,919
I didn't mean to insult you.

316
00:15:42,087 --> 00:15:46,967
[Louis] <i>Wow... She might be just the person
I most wanted to see right now.</i>

317
00:15:47,050 --> 00:15:49,469
<i>From the very beginning, with Haru,</i>

318
00:15:49,552 --> 00:15:51,972
<i>I never had to be something I wasn't
with her.</i>

319
00:15:52,055 --> 00:15:54,057
Well, nice chatting with you.

320
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:55,141
What?

321
00:15:55,225 --> 00:15:57,686
I... I need to get back. Assignments due.

322
00:15:57,769 --> 00:15:59,312
Let me walk with you.

323
00:16:04,484 --> 00:16:05,402
ODD SOUL FESTIVAL

324
00:16:05,485 --> 00:16:07,445
[Haru] Isn't this
pretty far out of the way for you?

325
00:16:07,529 --> 00:16:11,157
- [Louis] It's okay, it goes back around.
- Well, if you say so.

326
00:16:11,241 --> 00:16:13,326
You know,
Legoshi told me he takes this bus,

327
00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:15,370
even though his house
is nowhere near its route.

328
00:16:15,453 --> 00:16:16,287
[both laugh]

329
00:16:16,371 --> 00:16:17,205
[Louis] Stalker behavior.

330
00:16:17,288 --> 00:16:22,502
Legoshi is such a weirdo sometimes.
But I like it. [laughs]

331
00:16:22,585 --> 00:16:23,586
That's nice.

332
00:16:24,337 --> 00:16:26,214
[Louis] <i>It feels kind of strange.</i>

333
00:16:27,090 --> 00:16:30,885
<i>There was a time her white fur
and innocent face were so delicate</i>

334
00:16:30,969 --> 00:16:33,888
<i>I could've sworn she'd vanish
at any moment.</i>

335
00:16:33,972 --> 00:16:37,475
<i>But now, this rabbit is so defined.</i>

336
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:42,939
Even though you and I didn't
end up together,

337
00:16:43,023 --> 00:16:45,066
I like the Haru you turned into.

338
00:16:45,150 --> 00:16:48,153
Uh... Really?

339
00:16:48,236 --> 00:16:49,738
Aren't I kind of a square?

340
00:16:49,821 --> 00:16:51,614
- What do you mean?
- Uh...

341
00:16:51,698 --> 00:16:55,577
Lately, I've been learning
to think before I leap.

342
00:16:55,660 --> 00:16:57,537
Before, no matter what I did,

343
00:16:57,620 --> 00:16:59,664
even if I got into trouble,
I'd just think,

344
00:16:59,748 --> 00:17:02,125
"stuff happens,"
and threw caution to the wind.

345
00:17:02,709 --> 00:17:07,088
But now I think...
"Is Legoshi worrying about me right now?"

346
00:17:07,172 --> 00:17:10,759
Ah. Well, yeah,
that's definitely not like the old Haru.

347
00:17:11,259 --> 00:17:15,138
{\an8}Changing for some guy
seems kind of corny if you ask me.

348
00:17:15,221 --> 00:17:18,767
Doesn't being able to change like that
prove it's a good relationship?

349
00:17:18,850 --> 00:17:21,227
That's the corny stuff I'm talking about.

350
00:17:21,311 --> 00:17:24,189
[sighs]
But then I get caught up in the moment.

351
00:17:25,273 --> 00:17:26,107
[Melon groans]

352
00:17:26,191 --> 00:17:31,279
They were serving corn soup
for lunch today. It gets caught...

353
00:17:31,362 --> 00:17:33,198
[Haru exclaiming softly]

354
00:17:33,281 --> 00:17:35,200
[Melon grunts softly]

355
00:17:37,744 --> 00:17:41,122
I had my doubts
you and I would cross paths again.

356
00:17:41,206 --> 00:17:44,334
Especially, of course, after being fired.

357
00:17:44,417 --> 00:17:46,211
This might be the last time
we see each other.

358
00:17:46,294 --> 00:17:49,047
Oh, uh, is that right? Sorry to hear that.

359
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:50,924
[Melon laughs]

360
00:17:51,007 --> 00:17:53,718
If you're disappointed, I can't tell.

361
00:17:53,802 --> 00:17:56,221
Weird question for you, Professor...

362
00:17:56,304 --> 00:17:59,390
But are you mixed?
Carnivore and herbivore?

363
00:17:59,474 --> 00:18:03,144
[Melon] Hmm, how to respond to that...

364
00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:07,482
People who ask that
usually end up with a frown on their face.

365
00:18:07,565 --> 00:18:08,650
[chuckles excitedly]

366
00:18:08,733 --> 00:18:12,862
So then mixes can grow up
healthy and strong!

367
00:18:12,946 --> 00:18:14,781
Amazing! I'm so glad!

368
00:18:17,283 --> 00:18:19,869
{\an8}I was thrilled!
Because, you know, like,

369
00:18:19,953 --> 00:18:23,498
{\an8}if Legoshi and I wanted to have a child,
it sounds like it'd be okay, right?

370
00:18:23,581 --> 00:18:25,250
{\an8}Wait, uh, back up...

371
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:27,335
Was he a mix of gazelle and leopard?

372
00:18:27,418 --> 00:18:30,797
[Haru] Yeah, you know, horns and all.
They go up and out like this.

373
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,006
[Louis] Oh, that... uh--

374
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:34,175
[Haru] Uh-huh. And he's got these...

375
00:18:34,259 --> 00:18:37,262
[Melon laughing]

376
00:18:37,345 --> 00:18:41,266
Somebody being happy I was born
is certainly a new one for me.

377
00:18:41,349 --> 00:18:43,893
I must say, you're really quite unusual.

378
00:18:43,977 --> 00:18:47,897
What? No way. It's normal.
We all celebrate birthdays.

379
00:18:47,981 --> 00:18:49,065
[Melon grunts softly]

380
00:18:49,149 --> 00:18:50,859
Well... [inhales]

381
00:18:50,942 --> 00:18:52,986
No one's ever celebrated mine before.

382
00:18:53,069 --> 00:18:53,945
No?

383
00:18:54,028 --> 00:18:56,197
It's on the same day as a festival.

384
00:18:56,281 --> 00:18:57,615
Oh, I see.

385
00:18:57,699 --> 00:19:01,744
What are you gonna do, right?
The Odd Soul Festival.

386
00:19:01,828 --> 00:19:07,584
A day to be thankful that herbivores
weren't eaten by carnivores. Eh.

387
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:11,045
Ironic, that a mix like me
was born on that day.

388
00:19:11,129 --> 00:19:13,631
So your birthday's coming up soon then?

389
00:19:13,715 --> 00:19:17,010
Do you have a birthday wish?
You've gotta treat yourself!

390
00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:19,012
[Melon sighs demurely] Oh...

391
00:19:19,095 --> 00:19:21,264
You might be right.

392
00:19:22,056 --> 00:19:25,768
Hmm. What I really want is...

393
00:19:25,852 --> 00:19:27,896
[Haru] Yeah, yeah, I'm listening.

394
00:19:29,439 --> 00:19:30,273
What?

395
00:19:30,356 --> 00:19:33,443
He said that he wants to eat your flesh?

396
00:19:33,526 --> 00:19:34,986
STOPPING

397
00:19:35,612 --> 00:19:37,697
So, what did you say back then?

398
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:38,656
I said, "Sure."

399
00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:40,909
- Huh?
- [chuckling nervously]

400
00:19:40,992 --> 00:19:42,827
I was caught off guard.

401
00:19:43,411 --> 00:19:46,164
Oh, uh... [chuckles nervously]

402
00:19:46,247 --> 00:19:48,291
A pinky promise?

403
00:19:50,084 --> 00:19:52,045
Uh... [chuckles nervously]

404
00:19:53,087 --> 00:19:54,881
Okay, you got it.

405
00:19:54,964 --> 00:19:56,591
[laughs]

406
00:19:56,674 --> 00:19:59,260
{\an8}Are you supposed to be some kind
of convenience store snack?

407
00:20:01,471 --> 00:20:03,223
[Haru] Oh, that's harsh.

408
00:20:03,306 --> 00:20:06,226
I'm more like a fancy desert
at a fine dining restaurant.

409
00:20:06,935 --> 00:20:10,396
Anyway, I'm fine being the kind of girl
who gives rather than takes.

410
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,066
Herbivores are meant to be eaten, right?

411
00:20:13,149 --> 00:20:17,403
I never thought that one day I'd be
dealing with your prenuptial doubts.

412
00:20:18,655 --> 00:20:20,573
[Haru grunting]

413
00:20:21,115 --> 00:20:23,534
You're neither a snack, nor a dessert.

414
00:20:23,618 --> 00:20:26,329
You're neither herbivore,
nor are you prey.

415
00:20:26,412 --> 00:20:29,040
You are Haru. You're just yourself.

416
00:20:29,123 --> 00:20:32,877
Complain all you like.
Cry about it. Whatever.

417
00:20:32,961 --> 00:20:35,922
{\an8}But you have to keep living.
You have to live!

418
00:20:39,550 --> 00:20:41,511
I don't need you bossing me around.

419
00:20:41,594 --> 00:20:43,263
- Goodbye.
- [Louis exclaims]

420
00:20:43,346 --> 00:20:45,640
Wait! Haru!

421
00:20:46,641 --> 00:20:49,185
CENTRAL BUS SHIOKUMIZAKAUE

422
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,564
There were tons of blueberries
growing behind the fountain,

423
00:20:53,648 --> 00:20:54,983
so I picked these.

424
00:20:55,066 --> 00:20:56,150
Uh-- Oh.

425
00:20:57,151 --> 00:20:58,361
[Pina sighs softly]

426
00:20:58,444 --> 00:21:01,990
Hey, Bill? What's going on? You okay?

427
00:21:02,949 --> 00:21:05,076
It was so full of life.

428
00:21:05,159 --> 00:21:07,954
Now it's just cold and still.

429
00:21:08,037 --> 00:21:09,539
[gentle music playing]

430
00:21:09,622 --> 00:21:11,124
[Bill] I'm sorry.

431
00:21:23,052 --> 00:21:25,138
There was a power outage.

432
00:21:25,221 --> 00:21:28,182
And because of that,
its heat lamp shut off.

433
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,394
If it was going to die anyway,

434
00:21:31,477 --> 00:21:33,730
maybe you should've eaten it
right from the start.

435
00:21:33,813 --> 00:21:35,231
[Pina grunts]

436
00:21:35,315 --> 00:21:36,316
[groans softly]

437
00:21:36,983 --> 00:21:38,484
[grunts]

438
00:21:40,528 --> 00:21:41,738
Not funny.

439
00:21:49,579 --> 00:21:52,040
[Pina] <i>If you think about
eating and loving,</i>

440
00:21:52,123 --> 00:21:54,667
<i>both of them should bring us happiness.</i>

441
00:21:56,169 --> 00:22:00,631
<i>But when those two things intertwine,
someone always ends up getting hurt.</i>

442
00:22:12,018 --> 00:22:14,020
[closing theme song playing]
