You helped with selling our club's zine?
00:29.450 --> 00:30.530
I guess.
00:32.250 --> 00:37.540
Since you sold 19 copies yesterday,
that means we have 81 left to go.
00:37.540 --> 00:40.660
That's where we're at. Good luck today.
00:40.660 --> 00:42.000
Thanks.
00:42.000 --> 00:43.500
Okay, see you.
00:44.960 --> 00:45.960
Oh.
00:49.440 --> 00:51.970
Be sure not to flub your lines.

01:23.120 --> 01:24.630

I'll take it from here.
04:08.620 --> 04:10.000
I appreciate it.
04:14.240 --> 04:16.070
Ah, there you are.
04:16.420 --> 04:17.610
What's up?
04:17.610 --> 04:20.140
We have enough people
for the haunted house,
04:20.140 --> 04:22.070
so I need you to do our publicity.
04:22.540 --> 04:25.940
When you're done,
you can go back to the lit club.
04:25.940 --> 04:27.220
Can you do it?
04:27.220 --> 04:29.350
Is that all? Sure thing.
04:29.350 --> 04:30.390
Thanks a bunch.
04:30.390 --> 04:32.490
Okay, here's your outfit.
04:32.490 --> 04:34.910
The makeup crew
will be here in five minutes.
04:34.910 --> 04:35.920
Bye.
04:38.290 --> 04:39.360
Huh?
04:39.360 --> 04:42.380
"A haunted house is
totally maid for this!"
04:39.360 --> 04:42.380
A haunted house is totally maid for this!
04:39.360 --> 04:42.380
Yoshii
04:42.380 --> 04:44.120
What?
04:53.130 --> 04:54.530
Whoa, omigod.
04:54.530 --> 04:56.880
That's too cute, Aikawa-san.
04:57.550 --> 04:59.010
So, um...
04:59.010 --> 05:03.760
It's such a thrill knowing
we're going to ruin this adorable maid.
05:03.760 --> 05:04.700
Huh?
05:04.700 --> 05:06.700
Brace yourself, Aikawa-san.
05:06.700 --> 05:08.520
What?
05:11.060 --> 05:13.650
Aikawa-san, your skin is so smooth.

Oh, man. Now that's a flesh wound.
05:17.160 --> 05:18.610
Looking good.
05:20.510 --> 05:23.250
Whoa. I don't believe it.
05:23.590 --> 05:25.530
This makeup looks really good.
05:27.140 --> 05:30.040
We've been training for a whole month.
05:33.020 --> 05:36.670
Okay, come with us. Your master awaits.
05:37.290 --> 05:39.480
Bye now.
05:44.490 --> 05:45.800
Aki-kun.
05:53.410 --> 05:54.980
You're laughing way too much.
05:55.410 --> 05:58.900
We needed a Count Dracula and his maid.
05:59.380 --> 06:02.400
You two will really add
to the atmosphere.
06:02.400 --> 06:05.670
Does it make sense to have vampires
and maids in a "haunted" hospital?
06:05.670 --> 06:08.110
Ah, don't sweat the small stuff.
06:10.560 --> 06:13.610
Anyway, you two have a special assignment.
06:13.610 --> 06:16.540
You'll need to hold signs
and pass out flyers.
06:16.540 --> 06:18.970
What? In these outfits?
06:18.970 --> 06:20.800
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
06:20.800 --> 06:25.550
You two can also enjoy Seiryo Fest
together while you're at it.
06:29.190 --> 06:33.290
Do you mind walking around
with a bloodied-up maid?
06:35.210 --> 06:39.060
And you? Do you mind hanging out
with Count Dracula?
06:40.840 --> 06:42.440
I'd be glad to.
06:46.300 --> 06:50.910
Oh, yeah. You two haven't been
inside the haunted hospital yet.
06:50.910 --> 06:53.330
You should take the opportunity to go now.
06:53.330 --> 06:54.330
What?
06:55.350 --> 06:59.440
Y-Yeah, um, I'm not good with dark places.
06:59.440 --> 07:00.540
Come on now.
07:00.540 --> 07:03.680
But you're not actually
scared of the dark, right?
07:03.680 --> 07:05.220
Um...
07:06.510 --> 07:08.340
It's fine, really.
07:08.340 --> 07:10.310
If it's fine, then go.
07:10.310 --> 07:12.690
No, I mean I'm good.
07:12.690 --> 07:14.450
I'm glad you're good with it.
07:14.450 --> 07:15.580
Yeah, uh...
07:15.580 --> 07:18.230
"It's fine" or "I'm good"
don't really mean—
07:18.230 --> 07:22.660
Two exclusive complimentary guests
checking in.
07:36.250 --> 07:38.140
You could've stayed away,
07:38.140 --> 07:41.170
yet you dared to set foot
in my haunted hospital?
07:41.910 --> 07:44.540
If you wish to get out of here alive,
07:45.300 --> 07:50.140
you must retrieve your medical charts
from deep in the bowels of the hospital.
07:50.800 --> 07:52.730
If you happen to fail,
07:53.120 --> 07:55.940
you'll be trapped in here forever!
07:59.730 --> 08:01.240
Well, let's go.
08:02.590 --> 08:04.570
This is just the starting point.
08:04.570 --> 08:08.010
I can't! I can't! I'm dropping out!
08:08.950 --> 08:10.700
No dropping out
08:08.950 --> 08:10.700
You can't run from this hospital. Good luck.
08:10.700 --> 08:13.200
No dropping out
08:10.700 --> 08:13.200
You can't run from this hospital. Good luck.
08:31.590 --> 08:33.900
Aki-kun, are you still here?
08:33.900 --> 08:36.970
I'm here. And I haven't let go.
08:37.380 --> 08:38.420
It'll be fine.
08:38.730 --> 08:39.960
Okay.
08:56.240 --> 08:57.800
No...
09:00.290 --> 09:04.060
No! Stay away!
09:11.510 --> 09:12.970
Take your charts.
09:19.380 --> 09:20.640
I got the charts.
09:20.640 --> 09:22.310
Two of them?
09:22.310 --> 09:23.310
Yeah.
09:26.960 --> 09:29.290
Uh, wait a minute.
09:29.290 --> 09:34.490
Is this haunted house so big, we smashed
through the wall into the next classroom?
09:34.490 --> 09:37.460
No, class 2-2 is selling taiyaki.
09:38.300 --> 09:41.180
Hang in there. It won't be much longer.
09:41.180 --> 09:42.180
'Kay.
09:43.920 --> 09:46.090
Once we're out, we'll get taiyaki.
09:46.090 --> 09:47.290
Sure.
09:47.290 --> 09:50.300
I'll eat the poor things
from their heads down.
09:56.670 --> 10:00.140
No! A gh-gh-gh-ghost!
10:00.140 --> 10:02.340
Kill it! Quick!
10:02.340 --> 10:03.690
That's insane.
10:03.690 --> 10:05.160
But—
10:07.190 --> 10:09.930
Please no more.
10:10.740 --> 10:11.940
Come on. Stand up.
10:11.940 --> 10:13.570
You'll be fine.
10:20.830 --> 10:22.580
Why are you laughing?
10:24.940 --> 10:27.210
Sorry. You're too adorable.
10:28.700 --> 10:29.850
Sorry.
10:29.850 --> 10:33.890
I've been keeping it together
this whole time, but I just can't anymore.
10:36.220 --> 10:37.110
You're mean.
10:37.110 --> 10:39.600
You jerk. You total ding-dong.
10:39.970 --> 10:40.920
Huh?
10:40.920 --> 10:42.340
What's wrong?
10:42.340 --> 10:46.100
I don't think I can stand.
10:46.670 --> 10:48.480
Your knees gave out?
10:50.640 --> 10:52.230
Are you going to leave me?
10:52.230 --> 10:53.970
Of course not.
10:55.250 --> 10:56.480
I'll carry you.
10:56.480 --> 10:59.490
Huh? But your ankle...
10:59.490 --> 11:02.240
It doesn't hurt so much these days.
11:02.240 --> 11:03.890
Come on. Hop on.
11:03.890 --> 11:04.900
Okay.
11:07.680 --> 11:09.030
Am I heavy?
11:09.030 --> 11:10.020
Kind of.
11:11.800 --> 11:15.130
Correction: you're as light as a feather.
11:15.130 --> 11:17.180
As if I'd believe you now.
11:18.450 --> 11:20.470
Welcome back, you two...
11:20.470 --> 11:21.300
What?
11:21.300 --> 11:23.180
It seems her legs gave out.
11:23.180 --> 11:26.940
Haunted Abandoned Hospital
11:23.180 --> 11:25.920
Huh? Uh, sorry that happened to you.
11:25.920 --> 11:26.940
It's okay.
11:26.940 --> 11:28.900
I'm fine now.
11:29.810 --> 11:31.930
Then, you can take these.
11:32.360 --> 11:33.690
Good luck with the play, too.
11:33.690 --> 11:34.550
Sure.
11:34.550 --> 11:38.200
Wait. Is there anything else
we can help out with?
11:38.550 --> 11:41.180
We're good. In fact, look.
11:44.200 --> 11:47.320
A whole bunch of thrill-seekers
came to check us out
11:47.320 --> 11:49.670
because you screamed so loud.
11:50.070 --> 11:52.630
We might even get the fest's top prize.

11:59.640 --> 12:03.310
That haunted hospital
scared me too, you know.
12:03.310 --> 12:04.530
Really?
12:04.530 --> 12:08.630
But seeing you super scared
took the edge off the whole thing.
12:09.130 --> 12:11.230
So I guess I owe you.
12:11.860 --> 12:14.610
Well, excuse me for being a scaredy-cat.
12:14.950 --> 12:16.860
How can I make it up to you?
12:19.290 --> 12:22.370
I want to go on a non-scary date.
12:22.890 --> 12:23.880
Okay.

You should see Aki-kun.
He's wearing a Count Dracula costume.
12:40.130 --> 12:42.800
He'll be here in a little bit.

12:52.270 --> 13:00.900
The Tale of
the Bamboo Cutter:
The Remake
12:52.270 --> 13:00.900
As Told by Grandma
12:52.270 --> 13:00.900
One copy: 200 yen
12:55.070 --> 12:58.450
and a whole bunch of people
who know you guys.
12:58.450 --> 13:00.900
Wow! We're really making progress.
13:00.900 --> 13:03.270
But it's not nearly enough, I'm afraid.
13:03.270 --> 13:05.820
The real battle is after the play.
13:05.820 --> 13:09.540
It'll literally be our first and only real
opportunity to sell in numbers.
13:09.540 --> 13:10.520
Yeah.
13:11.210 --> 13:12.600
Nao-senpai.
13:13.890 --> 13:17.270
So this is just a hypothetical question,
13:17.270 --> 13:21.340
but if they do shut down
our club, will we still—
13:22.070 --> 13:23.550
Ricchan.
13:23.550 --> 13:25.550
No negativity allowed.
13:26.420 --> 13:29.270
Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that.
13:30.840 --> 13:35.890
We won't lose the literature club
and we'll still be friends, Ricchan.
13:36.440 --> 13:37.540
You got it.
13:38.020 --> 13:41.290
And if we do get shut down,
we'll just find an empty classroom.
13:41.290 --> 13:42.950
Make up your mind!
13:44.280 --> 13:47.280
Suruga Seiryo High School Drama Club

14:03.130 --> 14:04.260
You ready?
14:04.260 --> 14:07.510
Uh, yeah. I'm a nervous wreck right now.
14:07.510 --> 14:08.830
Me, too.
14:14.520 --> 14:15.900
Aw, shoot.
14:15.900 --> 14:17.170
My costume.
14:17.170 --> 14:19.780
It's just water. It won't leave a stain.
14:19.780 --> 14:21.030
You sure?
14:23.580 --> 14:25.430
Let's go, Aki-kun.
14:27.530 --> 14:31.250
Did ya hear? The teacher
congratulated me again.
14:31.250 --> 14:32.910
He did? For what?
14:32.910 --> 14:34.360
For my test score.
14:34.360 --> 14:35.260
It was that good?
14:35.260 --> 14:37.000
Nobody else had my score.
14:37.000 --> 14:38.840
Dude, did you get 100?
14:38.840 --> 14:40.930
I got a zero, which nobody ever gets.
14:40.930 --> 14:42.200
He wasn't congratulating you!
14:42.200 --> 14:43.660
But he was all smiles.
14:43.660 --> 14:44.800
He was laughing at you!
14:44.800 --> 14:46.320
He said there's nowhere to go but up.
14:46.320 --> 14:47.550
Thanks for waiting.
14:47.550 --> 14:49.430
Ah, you're here.
14:49.870 --> 14:51.630
Let's get you in makeup, pronto.
14:51.630 --> 14:52.560
Sure thing.
14:52.840 --> 14:55.440
I'll do your makeup, Aikawa-san.
14:55.440 --> 14:57.650
Okay, thanks.
14:58.300 --> 15:01.870
The other day, I gave our classmate
Morie-san a letter.
15:01.870 --> 15:03.940
Oh, the cute one?
15:03.940 --> 15:05.260
She said, "Thank you!"
15:05.260 --> 15:08.070
You asked her out? Really?
And she said yes?
15:08.070 --> 15:11.850
The letter said, "We thank you
for your consideration in this matter."
15:11.850 --> 15:15.260
"The parent-teacher conferences
are scheduled for these days."
15:15.260 --> 15:17.580
That's just a handout from the school!
15:22.050 --> 15:23.230
I'm done.
15:25.890 --> 15:27.970
Thank you so much.
15:27.970 --> 15:30.470
I should touch up mine, too.
15:38.530 --> 15:39.900
Mori-senpai?
15:42.870 --> 15:44.990
Should we step outside?
15:49.880 --> 15:51.640
You can't be alone with her.
15:52.030 --> 15:53.640
You worry too much.
15:53.640 --> 15:54.660
Nao.
15:54.660 --> 15:57.450
If anything happens, I'll call you.
15:59.240 --> 16:00.440
Let's go.
16:03.000 --> 16:04.890
Are you okay now?
16:05.630 --> 16:11.200
I really convinced myself
I could handle the pressure.
16:11.550 --> 16:12.550
Huh?
16:12.940 --> 16:16.200
But I'll do it. I'll make it work.
16:16.200 --> 16:18.440
I mean, I'm supposed to.
16:19.290 --> 16:23.500
Can you tell me about yourself?
If you want, I mean.
16:24.050 --> 16:26.240
It may take a load off.
16:31.430 --> 16:34.240
Do people often say you're a bit weird?
16:36.890 --> 16:40.750
I was created when Suzumi was only five.
16:41.450 --> 16:45.420
She made me right before
she had to act in a play in kindergarten.
16:46.000 --> 16:51.450
Suzumi wanted me to play her role
of the evil stepmother.
16:51.890 --> 16:56.710
I did what I was told and
went with her mother to school.
16:57.140 --> 16:58.270
But...
17:00.950 --> 17:04.850
But Suzumi ended up following us.
17:06.750 --> 17:11.480
That woman... Her mom looked at me
and started panicking.
17:13.130 --> 17:14.790
I don't blame her.
17:15.170 --> 17:18.460
She'd seen someone who looked
exactly like her daughter.
17:19.410 --> 17:23.410
And she knew she hadn't
given birth to twins.
17:24.130 --> 17:28.250
So her mother knew about you
from the start.
17:28.250 --> 17:31.300
Yeah. Her dad did, too.
17:31.760 --> 17:34.350
They separated me from Suzumi
17:34.350 --> 17:37.120
and sent me to live with
her grandparents in Fujinomiya.
17:38.310 --> 17:41.630
That happened 13 years ago.
17:42.810 --> 17:46.940
I didn't see Suzumi once
in all those years.
17:46.940 --> 17:49.180
Not even a single time?
17:49.180 --> 17:50.210
Right.
17:50.550 --> 17:51.570
What about you?
17:52.300 --> 17:56.800
Sunao summons me whenever she needs me.
17:56.800 --> 18:00.410
She's been letting me
go to school this entire month.
18:00.410 --> 18:03.210
Except for yesterday. That was her.
18:03.210 --> 18:04.750
I see.
18:06.530 --> 18:08.060
Did you know...
18:08.060 --> 18:13.030
that you don't need a birth certificate
to attend elementary or middle school?
18:14.470 --> 18:16.610
I couldn't go to high school,
18:16.610 --> 18:22.660
but I had my grandparents,
and I could study well enough at home.
18:23.230 --> 18:26.480
Then, why are you...
18:30.330 --> 18:34.110
It's Suzumi. She's in a vegetative state.
18:34.900 --> 18:37.660
During summer break,
she accidentally hit her head.
18:37.660 --> 18:40.160
The next day, she slipped into a coma.
18:41.480 --> 18:43.720
She was hospitalized at first,
18:43.720 --> 18:47.280
but she started receiving treatment
at home since the end of August.
18:47.750 --> 18:52.200
That woman came to Fujinomiya
at the end of August, too.
18:54.370 --> 18:56.770
She looked straight at me,
18:56.770 --> 19:00.930
a freak she couldn't stand the sight of
before, and pleaded with me.
19:00.930 --> 19:04.090
You must pretend to be Suzumi
and go to school for her.
19:04.090 --> 19:07.940
Otherwise, her attendance
will suffer beyond repair.
19:08.370 --> 19:11.090
She studied so hard
for her college entrance exams.
19:11.090 --> 19:12.940
But it'll all go to waste.
19:12.940 --> 19:15.680
I beg you. Please help my daughter.
19:17.260 --> 19:18.570
Oh, that's right.
19:18.900 --> 19:20.180
Don't you see?
19:20.180 --> 19:25.180
You came out of nowhere that day
precisely for this reason.
19:26.370 --> 19:28.090
How could she?
19:28.090 --> 19:33.450
She brought me back here and
got me to attend her school this term.
19:33.450 --> 19:36.840
But I don't have a clue
what Suzumi's like now.
19:37.340 --> 19:42.010
I've tried my best to fool people,
but I'm just not as smart as her.
19:42.540 --> 19:45.900
I should get a medal for getting
a five on a high-school test
19:45.900 --> 19:47.530
with a middle-school education.
19:50.410 --> 19:53.230
I've really done everything I could.
19:53.230 --> 19:56.030
I became Suzumi, Moririn,
19:56.030 --> 19:59.500
the student body president,
and even Princess Kaguya.
20:00.460 --> 20:02.370
I've done everything for her.
20:03.080 --> 20:07.510
But I'm just buying time and messing up.
20:07.510 --> 20:09.860
I'm not helping Suzumi at all.
20:10.630 --> 20:15.370
When I met you,
I thought I'd found a ray of hope.
20:15.940 --> 20:17.200
But I hadn't.
20:18.780 --> 20:22.640
A replica can't give her life
to save the original, right?
20:24.450 --> 20:28.070
Why would you want to sacrifice yourself?
20:29.520 --> 20:32.420
Yeah, it's so weird.
20:32.420 --> 20:35.730
Why are we replicas so stupid, anyway?
20:37.800 --> 20:40.530
You must've noticed it yourself by now.
20:40.980 --> 20:43.680
We must be messed up in our heads
20:43.680 --> 20:47.810
if we're willing to sacrifice so much
of ourselves for our originals.
20:49.680 --> 20:54.550
Honestly, I didn't want to play
the evil stepmother, either.
20:55.500 --> 20:59.820
But I went along with it anyway,
thinking in my heart of hearts
20:59.820 --> 21:02.050
that I had to do it for Suzumi.
21:03.970 --> 21:05.180
Don't...
21:05.180 --> 21:09.970
I hadn't seen Suzumi in 13 years.
21:09.970 --> 21:14.060
Yet I still want to do everything for her.
21:14.500 --> 21:16.920
I want to bring her back to health.
21:16.920 --> 21:19.640
So I'm perfectly willing
to do anything for her.
21:20.230 --> 21:23.820
I'm sure you know exactly how I feel.
21:25.330 --> 21:26.330
You see?
21:26.330 --> 21:28.140
Isn't it bizarre?
21:29.080 --> 21:35.590
On the outside, we're made to look
exactly like the original in every way.
21:35.590 --> 21:39.890
But on the inside,
there's something very wrong with us.
21:40.850 --> 21:45.720
We're just puppets on a string
with no will of our own.
21:59.030 --> 22:01.640
Come on. Our audience awaits.
22:07.020 --> 22:08.540
Senpai.
