Wow, look at your tan.

00:08.730 --> 00:11.860

00:43.670 --> 00:46.300
Sanada-senpai. Here.

Croaked Souvenirs

00:46.660 --> 00:51.310
Akai-sensei gave us these. They're getting
 close to their best-before date.

00:51.310 --> 00:53.470
Uh, right.

00:57.430 --> 01:00.670
I've never had this much fun in my life.

01:07.600 --> 01:08.860

02:59.140 --> 03:00.180
Nao.

03:05.940 --> 03:08.060
Just go away.

03:08.940 --> 03:11.150
And don't come back.

03:14.720 --> 03:16.820
Hurry up and get dressed.

03:19.800 --> 03:21.660
Uh, right.

03:22.120 --> 03:24.370
<i>While time had stopped for me,</i>

03:24.370 --> 03:27.830
<i>Sunao had continued to live
 her life without pause.</i>

03:28.340 --> 03:33.090
<i>I'm always the last to know 
when the seasons change.</i>

03:44.220 --> 03:47.110
Sunao, did you do this?

03:48.350 --> 03:51.270
I threw away the ticket and stuff.

03:53.490 --> 03:54.900
Okay.

04:00.900 --> 04:02.920
Bye. I'll see you later.

04:02.920 --> 04:03.960
Yeah.

04:10.580 --> 04:14.130

Ah, sorry. I forgot to put it up.

05:33.630 --> 05:35.250
You're not Aikawa, are you?

05:54.980 --> 05:55.650
Hey!

05:55.650 --> 05:56.930
Aikawa!

06:08.960 --> 06:09.950
Aikawa!

06:20.970 --> 06:22.220
Did I hurt you?

06:23.280 --> 06:24.880
I'm fine.

06:24.880 --> 06:27.070
You look like you're about to cry.

06:28.890 --> 06:30.450
I'm not crying.

06:32.920 --> 06:36.330
Sorry. I didn't mean 
to put you on the spot.

06:38.780 --> 06:39.880
Let's sit.

06:51.180 --> 06:52.400
So...

06:54.620 --> 06:57.160
I'm actually just like you.

06:59.750 --> 07:02.670
I'm just like you, Aikawa.

07:04.150 --> 07:05.170
What?

07:05.170 --> 07:07.830
You too, Sanada-kun?

07:10.030 --> 07:14.100
<i>In truth, I'd known for a while 
that something was off.</i>

07:15.040 --> 07:17.830
<i>Sanada-kun was always so quiet.</i>

07:17.830 --> 07:21.600
<i>He never made a sound 
or caused any friction.</i>

07:21.600 --> 07:23.940
<i>He even breathed quietly.</i>

07:24.380 --> 07:27.240
<i>It was hard to picture him
 on the basketball team.</i>

07:27.670 --> 07:28.870
<i>Plus...</i>

07:30.820 --> 07:34.450
I wasn't the one who got hurt.

07:36.190 --> 07:38.500
"I should've died a long time ago."

07:39.150 --> 07:41.600
"Why did I wait so long to die?"

07:42.240 --> 07:44.250
Is that K's suicide note?

07:44.250 --> 07:46.180
From Soseki's <i>Kokoro</i>.

07:47.150 --> 07:50.860
I always wondered
why K died in the book.

07:51.730 --> 07:56.970
Now that I've read it, 
I'm chewing over why there's no answer.

07:57.430 --> 08:02.650
It also made me wonder what my own
 reaction would be in that situation.

08:04.010 --> 08:06.230
Your own reaction, huh?

08:07.610 --> 08:09.190
The zoo.

08:10.520 --> 08:15.790
If we were going to the zoo tomorrow, 
I wouldn't want to die.

08:16.930 --> 08:19.540
You seriously like 
those red pandas, don't you?

08:22.100 --> 08:25.090
So you're really like me?

08:26.110 --> 08:28.500
Yeah. I really am.

08:28.500 --> 08:31.300
I'm not the real Shuya Sanada.

08:32.890 --> 08:34.040
I see.

08:34.670 --> 08:37.930
I'm not the real Sunao Aikawa, either.

08:38.790 --> 08:41.300
I'm Sunao's replica.

08:41.300 --> 08:42.810
Replica?

08:42.810 --> 08:45.030
That's what we decided to call me.

08:45.030 --> 08:48.940
It's because Sunao 
thinks I'm an imitation.

08:48.940 --> 08:55.550
But Sunao just calls me "Nao." 
Maybe because it's easier for her.

08:55.550 --> 08:56.340
Nao?

08:56.340 --> 08:58.700
Yeah. Short for "Sunao."

08:58.700 --> 08:59.900
Makes sense.

09:00.420 --> 09:03.340
Okay, then maybe 
I should call you "Nao," too.

09:04.030 --> 09:07.210
Hironaka calls you that, 
and I sort of feel left out.

09:07.210 --> 09:08.210
Sure.

09:08.630 --> 09:11.970
What should I call you?

09:13.110 --> 09:14.520
Aki.

09:14.520 --> 09:17.220
It's how you read the first character
of Shuya's name.

09:17.220 --> 09:18.380
So Aki-kun?

09:18.380 --> 09:20.390
Yeah. Is it easier that way?

09:20.390 --> 09:21.290
Yeah.

09:21.730 --> 09:24.610
Hey, you two! The bell already rang!

09:26.270 --> 09:28.930
People might think we like to play hooky.

09:28.930 --> 09:30.260
You're right.

09:32.440 --> 09:34.530
<i>It's so strange.</i>

09:35.490 --> 09:41.120
<i>I can't believe there's another replica 
like me, and that it's Sanada-kun...</i>

09:41.120 --> 09:43.650
<i>Or rather, Aki-kun.</i>

09:47.820 --> 09:49.250
Since second grade?

09:49.250 --> 09:50.260
Yup.

09:50.260 --> 09:55.140
I had no idea you'd known
Hironaka that long.

09:55.540 --> 09:58.130
We met in the neighborhood's kid group.

09:58.130 --> 10:00.260
Wow, who knew?

10:00.260 --> 10:03.390
But nobody's figured it out?
Not even Hironaka?

10:03.970 --> 10:08.770
That you and Aikawa are, well, different?

10:08.770 --> 10:09.800
Yeah.

10:09.800 --> 10:15.280
Sunao doesn't talk to people much, 
and she doesn't come to club, either.

10:15.280 --> 10:16.410
How about you?

10:16.410 --> 10:19.260
When were you created?

10:19.260 --> 10:21.500
In June of this year.

10:22.170 --> 10:26.420
The morning Shuya was supposed to go 
back to school after being hospitalized.

10:26.420 --> 10:29.540
Wow, that's so recent.

10:29.540 --> 10:31.300
So you've taken his place since?

10:31.650 --> 10:37.270
Yeah. Shuya hasn't set foot outside 
since breaking his ankle.

10:37.270 --> 10:40.220
Not even once? Not even for rehab?

10:40.220 --> 10:41.680
Yeah, well...

10:42.000 --> 10:48.410
His doctor told him he'd make 
a full recovery if he went to rehab.

10:48.820 --> 10:53.690
But he holed himself up at home 
and never even went for a checkup.

10:53.690 --> 10:55.040
I see.

10:55.540 --> 10:58.660
I do feel bad for Shuya.

10:58.660 --> 11:02.090
He can't play basketball anymore
due to his messed-up ankle.

11:02.090 --> 11:04.420
He never feels like coming to school.

11:05.640 --> 11:09.480
Where his heart should be, 
it's completely hollow.

11:10.870 --> 11:14.890
Sanada-kun must really love basketball.

11:15.290 --> 11:16.860
He really does.

11:17.720 --> 11:22.760
Basketball was the one thing 
he was really good at throughout his life.

11:22.760 --> 11:25.200
People regularly praised him
 for his skills,

11:25.580 --> 11:28.550
so he practiced from early 
in the morning till late at night.

11:29.580 --> 11:33.930
But maybe he loved the team environment
more than basketball itself.

11:35.820 --> 11:38.390
So I probably don't have long.

11:38.390 --> 11:39.390
What?

11:42.470 --> 11:44.050
Nothing.

11:44.050 --> 11:46.460
Let's put these away and head to club.

11:48.190 --> 11:49.190
Sure.

11:52.360 --> 11:56.470
<i>So now, we had a shared secret.</i>

12:12.120 --> 12:13.150
Morning.

12:13.900 --> 12:15.280
Good morning.

12:18.010 --> 12:22.780
<i>It's not like Aki-kun has told me 
everything he's thinking.</i>

12:26.120 --> 12:27.340
<i>But...</i>

12:30.060 --> 12:36.640
<i>Now that I know his secret, it feels
 like things have changed between us.</i>

12:39.140 --> 12:42.100
<i>It's almost as if we're comrades 
instead of just friends.</i>

12:42.720 --> 12:45.250
<i>I don't have that with anyone else.</i>

12:48.570 --> 12:51.710
<i>Whenever we're together, 
I feel so at ease.</i>

12:54.210 --> 12:57.940
I have to say, you're really 
hitting it off. You two, I mean.

13:00.450 --> 13:02.140
Are we really?

13:02.140 --> 13:03.690
We <i>are</i> in the same class.

13:03.690 --> 13:06.450
You vibe with each other, which is great.

13:06.920 --> 13:09.700
Nao-senpai, you seem sunnier.

13:09.700 --> 13:12.950
And Sanada-senpai now 
has better instincts.

13:12.950 --> 13:13.960
What?

13:14.340 --> 13:15.890

13:16.260 --> 13:21.650

14:48.520 --> 14:53.370
I-I guess we talk about books, and...

14:54.210 --> 14:57.440
I'm actually just like you.

15:00.770 --> 15:02.860
And about career paths?

15:04.090 --> 15:10.170
W-Well, you know how Sanada-kun 
can't play basketball anymore, right?

15:11.020 --> 15:15.150
Everyone at school knows an upperclassman
lured him into an ambush

15:15.150 --> 15:16.710
and broke his ankle.

15:17.480 --> 15:20.420
So there's no hope 
for a sports scholarship?

15:20.420 --> 15:23.170
We don't know yet.

15:24.120 --> 15:29.260
Basketball was the one thing 
he was really good at throughout his life.

15:29.950 --> 15:34.790
I think it's because he's lost something 
he could absorb himself in.

15:37.330 --> 15:39.170
Sunao, do you know?

15:40.040 --> 15:45.090
Do you know who injured 
Sanada-kun's ankle?

15:45.090 --> 15:46.360
Yeah.

15:46.730 --> 15:48.090
That would be...

15:49.200 --> 15:53.120
Koh Hayase, the former basketball star.

15:53.710 --> 15:57.410
He always liked to brag 
about that sort of stuff.

15:57.410 --> 16:00.250
Sanada could've just gone
 to the authorities.

16:01.180 --> 16:03.600
Ugh, it's Hayase. Yikes.

18:12.050 --> 18:16.800
<b>Festival of Offerings</b>

18:13.610 --> 18:15.540
This is my first festival.

18:15.540 --> 18:16.800
Mine too.

18:16.800 --> 18:18.930
<b>Candied Fruit</b>

18:16.800 --> 18:18.930
<b>Candied Fruit</b>

18:21.240 --> 18:22.310
What is it?

18:23.350 --> 18:26.060
I wanted to see you in a yukata.

18:30.820 --> 18:32.310
Same here.

18:33.010 --> 18:36.820
I've been wondering 
how you'd look in a yukata.

18:38.000 --> 18:41.330
I guess we'll both have to pretend
 we're wearing them.

18:42.460 --> 18:43.950
You're so weird.

18:45.270 --> 18:49.370
In that case, what's the pattern 
on the yukata I'm wearing right now?

18:49.370 --> 18:51.960
Um, a flowery one?

18:51.960 --> 18:55.070
Maybe on blue fabric. Or maybe more aqua.

18:55.070 --> 18:58.000
Would you be wearing a plain navy yukata?

18:59.720 --> 19:04.480
There. Now that we're in yukatas,
 we should eat.

19:04.480 --> 19:06.240
Is there anything you'd like?

19:06.770 --> 19:08.730
Let's see...

19:08.730 --> 19:10.730
Shaved Ice

19:12.670 --> 19:14.610
Too cold!

19:12.670 --> 19:14.610
Freezing!

19:17.740 --> 19:19.880
What flavor did you get?

19:20.240 --> 19:21.660
You can guess.

19:30.430 --> 19:31.540
You know now?

19:31.540 --> 19:32.750
I don't think so.

19:34.780 --> 19:37.100
Your taste buds are all blue.

19:37.100 --> 19:38.260
Blue Hawaii.

19:38.610 --> 19:39.800
Bingo.

19:41.980 --> 19:44.890
You realize you said "taste buds" 
instead of "tongue," right?

19:45.680 --> 19:47.840
Then, is calling it 
a "licker" dialectical?

19:47.840 --> 19:49.150
I'd think so.

19:52.330 --> 19:54.900
Do you want to try mine, too?

19:54.900 --> 19:55.970
Sure.

20:01.950 --> 20:02.780
Melon.

20:02.780 --> 20:03.950
Bingo.

20:17.990 --> 20:19.860
I don't want to lose you.

20:24.070 --> 20:25.310
Me neither.

20:28.490 --> 20:30.690
<i>Whenever I'm with Aki-kun,</i>

20:30.690 --> 20:35.000
<i>I keep experiencing so many things
 for the first time.</i>

20:37.530 --> 20:40.290
<i>And it looks to be the same for Aki-kun.</i>

20:41.490 --> 20:44.380
<i>Our smiles are so innocent and carefree.</i>

20:45.080 --> 20:47.580
<b>Red Panda</b>

20:45.810 --> 20:51.060
<i>I wanted to save these moments 
in my heart forever.</i>

20:57.810 --> 20:59.590
I'm stuffed.

20:59.590 --> 21:01.340
There was so much to do.

21:01.340 --> 21:04.110
Yeah. Too bad there are no fireworks.

21:04.110 --> 21:07.670
An Abe River Fireworks Festival 
would have a huge turnout.

21:07.670 --> 21:08.730
Yeah, probably.

21:09.980 --> 21:12.100
Hey, an insect's chirping.

21:26.520 --> 21:27.500
Nao.

21:30.600 --> 21:32.370
This will be our last day.

21:40.550 --> 21:42.510
Why's that?

21:44.320 --> 21:47.890
I won't be needed as a replica anymore.

21:51.280 --> 21:57.020
I was created so Shuya
 could have his revenge.
