WEBVTT

00:13.743 --> 00:14.994
Akine Atagawa.

00:16.495 --> 00:17.329
Please.

00:18.914 --> 00:20.416
I would like us to be friends.

00:21.917 --> 00:22.960
Manatsu Atagawa's...

00:24.128 --> 00:25.296
little sister?

01:57.930 --> 02:01.684
Inversion

02:02.685 --> 02:03.727
Manatsu Atagawa!

02:04.270 --> 02:05.771
I've played ball for years.

02:05.855 --> 02:07.481
It's nice to meet all of you.

02:08.274 --> 02:09.775
- Welcome to the club.
- Nice to meet you.

02:09.859 --> 02:12.653
- How are ya doing!
- During my first year of junior high

02:13.154 --> 02:15.322
Sachi, my neighbor at the time invited me

02:15.823 --> 02:17.533
to join the basketball team.

02:17.616 --> 02:18.701
Koyuki!

02:19.451 --> 02:20.828
I'm so glad you signed up!

02:21.412 --> 02:22.997
Sorry, I'm no Miki, but-

02:23.080 --> 02:25.791
Hey, I'm happy you joined us even if Miki
couldn't.

02:26.417 --> 02:27.376
Volleyball CHOP!

02:27.459 --> 02:28.377
*MIKI JOINED THE VOLLEYBALL CLUB

02:28.460 --> 02:31.547
- Is this your friend, Sachi?
- I think we'll make a good team.

02:31.630 --> 02:33.966
- It's nice to meet you all.
- Nice to meet you!

02:34.049 --> 02:36.218
- Glad to have you.
- The upperclassmen were so nice to me.

02:36.302 --> 02:37.136
GRADE 3 CLASS 1

02:37.219 --> 02:38.053
Here you go.

02:38.137 --> 02:40.723
The second and third years'll practice on
the court.

02:40.806 --> 02:43.392
The first years will practice something
else today.

02:43.475 --> 02:44.310
Okay.

02:44.894 --> 02:47.271
It was reassuring to have someone I knew
there.

02:47.813 --> 02:48.898
Tell all the others!

02:51.859 --> 02:52.693
Hey Koyuki.

02:53.652 --> 02:54.653
Come again, okay?

02:56.614 --> 02:58.032
She's so cuuuute!

02:58.115 --> 02:59.033
Leave her alone!

02:59.533 --> 03:01.285
That's why I didn't notice it sooner.

03:01.368 --> 03:02.494
You guys are so lame.

03:02.578 --> 03:04.872
- Why're we lame?
- She clearly didn't like it.

03:04.955 --> 03:06.207
What was all that?

03:06.832 --> 03:07.708
GIRLS' BASKETBALL CLUB

03:07.791 --> 03:09.668
The first years will be practicing
outside today.

03:09.752 --> 03:10.586
Hm?

03:10.669 --> 03:13.047
Captain gave me this practice program to
follow.

03:13.130 --> 03:14.131
What is this?

03:14.215 --> 03:15.132
Huh?

03:15.216 --> 03:16.050
ATAGAWA

03:16.133 --> 03:18.135
Why're you acting like you're in charge?

03:19.595 --> 03:22.723
At first, I just thought the issue was
that she didn't like being told

03:22.806 --> 03:23.641
what to do.

03:24.850 --> 03:25.684
But

03:25.768 --> 03:26.602
CHATTER CHATTER

03:26.685 --> 03:28.687
I wonder if we can make her grow any
taller.

03:28.771 --> 03:30.356
- Hey, you're just stretching her neck.
- Mm?

03:30.439 --> 03:33.234
- Hey every little bit helps in basketball,
- I realized she didn't like me

03:33.317 --> 03:34.151
- right?
- because of how close I was to the

03:34.235 --> 03:35.069
upperclassmen.

03:36.695 --> 03:37.529
Hmm

03:38.656 --> 03:41.784
I get from Manatsu's point of view,
my closeness to Sachi looks like I'm

03:41.867 --> 03:42.952
maybe sucking up, but-

03:43.035 --> 03:44.286
CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CLOSE FRIENDS

03:44.370 --> 03:46.247
I'M MORE SKILLED THAN HER RESENTMENT
I'M MORE SKILLED THAN HER RESENTMENT

03:46.330 --> 03:47.164
Huh?

03:48.165 --> 03:48.999
Atagawa!

03:50.209 --> 03:52.711
The captain asked me to come see
her during lunch. Do ya wanna come

03:52.795 --> 03:53.629
with me?

03:54.255 --> 03:55.089
Huh?

03:56.840 --> 03:57.675
Thank you.

03:57.758 --> 04:01.387
I didn't feel comfortable going to the
third-years' classroom on my own.

04:03.389 --> 04:06.183
I don't get it. Why did the captain
make you her go-to?

04:06.267 --> 04:07.851
We already knew each other.

04:08.394 --> 04:11.230
We live close to each other so she
probably just feels comfortable

04:11.313 --> 04:12.147
talking to me.

04:13.274 --> 04:16.527
I think you're the one on the team she
has the highest hopes for.

04:17.486 --> 04:18.320
Yeah?

04:19.196 --> 04:20.072
GRADE 3 CLASS 1

04:20.155 --> 04:22.116
Oh! You came too, Manatsu.

04:22.199 --> 04:23.158
That's awesome.

04:23.242 --> 04:24.201
Huh?

04:24.285 --> 04:25.119
- Hm?
- Huh?

04:25.202 --> 04:27.538
- Is she your friend, Koyuki?
- Leave em alone, would you?

04:27.621 --> 04:28.747
Uh. Yeah. I'm Manatsu.

04:30.749 --> 04:32.167
So apparently we're friends.

04:33.085 --> 04:34.086
I mean it, Koyuki.

04:34.586 --> 04:36.380
You're like, such an awesome friend.

04:36.463 --> 04:38.382
I had the wrong idea about you.

04:38.465 --> 04:39.300
R-Really?

04:39.383 --> 04:40.384
I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT, BUT...

04:40.467 --> 04:42.928
- Why the sudden change of heart?
- Oh, by the way.

04:43.012 --> 04:44.263
Just call me Manatsu.

04:45.556 --> 04:47.141
Being on Manatsu's good side

04:47.224 --> 04:49.143
made club activities a lot easier.

04:49.226 --> 04:50.644
Don't worry. Don't worry.

04:51.353 --> 04:53.105
Whenever Manatsu was with me, she got a

04:53.188 --> 04:56.317
- chance to talk to the upperclassmen.
- Hey, what'd ya buy for lunch?

04:56.400 --> 04:58.360
- Oh my gosh hi!
- Our friendship

04:58.444 --> 05:00.863
was based only on benefits, not trust.

05:02.323 --> 05:03.157
So

05:03.240 --> 05:06.994
it wasn't like there was one decisive
event that caused things to break down.

05:07.077 --> 05:10.581
Speaking of people in our grade,
aren't Hotani and Igarashi super cute?

05:10.664 --> 05:11.498
Oh, totally.

05:11.582 --> 05:12.583
- Wait, what?
- Right?

05:13.083 --> 05:13.917
Hey, Koyuki.

05:15.419 --> 05:17.171
What kinda guys're you into?

05:17.254 --> 05:19.465
I can't picture what your type is at all.

05:19.548 --> 05:21.508
Huh? Mm

05:21.592 --> 05:23.427
Someone who doesn't make fun of other
people?

05:23.510 --> 05:26.096
We're just talking about looks here.
Stay on topic.

05:27.056 --> 05:28.557
Huh? Oh, gotcha.

05:29.391 --> 05:30.225
Hmm...

05:30.851 --> 05:32.936
- I'm not sure.
- Okay.

05:33.687 --> 05:36.315
AWKWARD SILENCE

05:36.815 --> 05:37.816
Nice work out there.

05:37.900 --> 05:39.026
- See you later.
- Later.

05:39.109 --> 05:39.985
See ya.

05:43.280 --> 05:45.199
Is it just me or is Koyuki just-

05:45.866 --> 05:47.534
not on the same wavelength as us?

05:48.160 --> 05:49.661
No, I totally feel you.

05:49.745 --> 05:50.871
She's kinda gloomy.

05:50.954 --> 05:51.914
She is!

05:51.997 --> 05:55.125
She talks so freaking slow, and I
kinda got annoyed just then. Could

05:55.209 --> 05:57.461
you tell? I was like, hurry up and answer.

05:58.003 --> 06:00.214
- Of course I could tell.
- Honestly, we hadn't really built

06:00.297 --> 06:01.757
- You were so obvious Manatsu.
- anything to begin with.

06:01.840 --> 06:03.550
Koyuki, you're such a good friend.

06:05.219 --> 06:07.679
Manatsu never liked me for who I was.

06:08.597 --> 06:10.766
She just liked what I could do for her.

06:12.726 --> 06:14.228
You like doing grunt work?

06:14.770 --> 06:17.356
Don't you have anything else going on
in your life?

06:19.149 --> 06:20.317
She's eating all alone.

06:20.818 --> 06:23.278
Ew, her water bottle is so lame,
isn't it?

06:23.904 --> 06:25.072
- Oh, that's insane.
- So

06:25.155 --> 06:27.783
- Right? Are you serious?
- it didn't take much for me to be branded

06:27.866 --> 06:29.868
- as a villain.
- Like what's her problem?

06:31.328 --> 06:33.789
I can't take it anymore. I'm quitting.

06:34.873 --> 06:36.500
I should have quit then and there.

06:36.583 --> 06:39.586
And cut ties with her completely,
gotten her out of my life.

06:39.670 --> 06:40.504
CLUB WITHDRAWAL FORM

06:40.587 --> 06:45.259
So you know... Atagawa's been coming
on to me super strong lately.

06:45.801 --> 06:46.635
Huh?

06:47.386 --> 06:50.889
Although... I'm not into in anyone but
the girl I like... She's barking up

06:50.973 --> 06:52.266
the wrong tree.

06:54.268 --> 06:56.603
Manatsu... likes Igarashi?

06:59.106 --> 07:00.566
Do you get what I'm saying?

07:00.649 --> 07:01.692
Mm?

07:04.236 --> 07:06.280
Let's go out. Koyuki.

07:07.239 --> 07:10.284
Honestly
the very first thing I thought was

07:10.826 --> 07:12.494
Wow, at least he finally said it.

07:13.412 --> 07:15.622
And also "I wish he'd let go of my hand,"

07:16.915 --> 07:20.627
and, "He doesn't seem to think there's
any chance that I'll reject him."

07:20.711 --> 07:22.463
And also, "I don't understand why in the

07:22.546 --> 07:24.089
- world he even started liking me
- Koyuki.

07:24.173 --> 07:25.174
In the first place."

07:25.757 --> 07:27.468
- All at once.
- Koyuki.

07:28.969 --> 07:30.846
Just cutting her out of my life

07:30.929 --> 07:33.015
wouldn't be enough to satiate my anger.

07:34.224 --> 07:36.185
- That's why.
- Sure.

07:36.810 --> 07:40.522
I was more than well aware of all the
red flags my heart was waving at me.

07:41.607 --> 07:42.441
Why not.

07:43.108 --> 07:43.942
But I just

07:44.568 --> 07:46.111
pretended not to notice.

07:47.488 --> 07:48.405
This again.

07:49.448 --> 07:52.034
After I quit the club and started dating
Igarashi

07:52.117 --> 07:54.995
her bullying became way less direct
and obvious.

07:55.496 --> 07:57.498
And more subtle and underhanded.

07:57.581 --> 07:58.540
Yo!

07:58.624 --> 08:02.711
Probably because she didn't want me to go
to Igarashi or the other guys about it.

08:02.794 --> 08:03.837
Besides

08:04.338 --> 08:06.632
I needed proof Manatsu was the one
behind it.

08:06.715 --> 08:08.133
Good morning, Koyun!

08:08.842 --> 08:11.803
I got here with time to spare which
never happens, so...

08:12.471 --> 08:13.305
Huh?

08:16.433 --> 08:18.060
A-ta-ga-waaa!

08:19.311 --> 08:20.145
Get off me!

08:26.944 --> 08:28.153
She shattered the glass!

08:28.654 --> 08:30.989
Oh my gosh Miki! Let's go to the nurse!

08:31.073 --> 08:31.907
Huh?

08:31.990 --> 08:33.825
- Hey- Whoaaaa!
- Whoa, was that blood?

08:33.909 --> 08:35.118
Did they fight?

08:40.123 --> 08:40.958
Are you serious?

08:41.458 --> 08:44.086
You rely on the guys and now Miki
to fight for you?

08:44.795 --> 08:47.673
How are you not ashamed of always
playing the victim and leeching off

08:47.756 --> 08:50.384
everyone around you? It's pathetic.

08:51.802 --> 08:52.636
Because

08:53.428 --> 08:56.098
compared to someone who stoops to
childish bullying

08:56.181 --> 08:57.849
I have nothing to be ashamed of.

08:59.101 --> 09:01.061
I already said I didn't do it, alright?

09:01.645 --> 09:03.230
Who else would do it but you?

09:03.313 --> 09:04.439
Could be anyone.

09:04.940 --> 09:06.858
Everyone passes the shoe lockers.

09:06.942 --> 09:08.026
Idiot.

09:09.945 --> 09:10.904
I never said that.

09:11.780 --> 09:12.614
Huh?

09:12.698 --> 09:14.908
I never said anything about the
shoe lockers.

09:14.992 --> 09:16.702
You were the one who mentioned it.

09:18.161 --> 09:20.372
Hey, over here! This way, guys.

09:20.455 --> 09:21.415
In here.

09:22.791 --> 09:24.793
You did this to yourself.

09:24.876 --> 09:27.087
- Come on.
- Are you nuts?

09:27.713 --> 09:28.547
Come on.

09:29.881 --> 09:30.716
Hey!

09:30.799 --> 09:34.177
First you abandon the club then you get
everyone to take your side.

09:34.761 --> 09:37.931
You're just a sad pathetic loner
who can't do anything herself.

09:38.515 --> 09:39.766
Stay just like that.

09:39.850 --> 09:40.809
Why are you grinning?!

09:40.892 --> 09:41.852
What are you doing?

09:43.520 --> 09:45.272
- Igarashi.
- Hey.

09:45.355 --> 09:47.566
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

09:48.734 --> 09:51.403
What are you- What are you doing, Atagawa?

09:52.237 --> 09:53.363
Are you okay, Koyuki?

09:56.241 --> 09:57.075
That hurt.

10:02.205 --> 10:03.874
That was sick, Igarashi!

10:03.957 --> 10:04.958
Whoo!

10:05.042 --> 10:05.959
You're the man!

10:06.043 --> 10:07.044
Hmph

10:07.586 --> 10:09.296
You're really lucky, Koyuki.

10:09.379 --> 10:10.631
You can cry so well.

10:10.714 --> 10:12.341
A delicate little flower.

10:12.424 --> 10:13.675
And so cute.

10:14.885 --> 10:17.387
You may have a man fighting your battles
right now.

10:17.471 --> 10:19.181
But don't get carried away.

10:20.432 --> 10:21.266
That's enough!

10:22.142 --> 10:23.518
What'd you just say to her?

10:24.436 --> 10:25.312
Let's go, Koyuki!

10:28.982 --> 10:30.233
Manatsu Atagawa

10:31.818 --> 10:33.362
And her little sister, Akine.

10:34.613 --> 10:35.906
What exactly and how much

10:36.406 --> 10:37.824
does she know about me?

10:40.327 --> 10:42.037
Ugh, I hate this so much!

10:42.120 --> 10:45.499
I'm getting sucked back into the
toxicity of junior high that I hated so

10:45.582 --> 10:46.416
much

10:46.500 --> 10:49.961
Not just that. I hate the person
I was back then. Ugh, I hate it all!

10:55.217 --> 10:57.344
Miki You're on social media now?

10:57.844 --> 11:00.514
Yeah, Miharu and Sora recommended
this app.

11:00.597 --> 11:02.599
MIHARU, SORA FRIENDS FROM JUNIOR HIGH

11:02.683 --> 11:05.686
Oh! Found it!
This is Manatsu's younger sister.

11:06.186 --> 11:07.062
#SISTERS #BESTIES

11:07.145 --> 11:08.188
#Besties.

11:10.065 --> 11:10.899
What's up?

11:11.483 --> 11:13.151
What're you guys doing over here?

11:14.569 --> 11:16.363
Huh? Atagawa?

11:16.988 --> 11:19.366
We're in the same class. We talk all the
time.

11:19.866 --> 11:23.328
Yeah, Akine said she hears a lot about
me from you actually.

11:24.413 --> 11:25.831
So, what have you told her?

11:26.331 --> 11:27.416
Well,

11:27.499 --> 11:30.293
just that we've been close friends
for a long time.

11:30.377 --> 11:34.047
Koyun, if you marry me, you and Miki will
be related. Isn't that so cute?

11:34.131 --> 11:36.299
- You're a genius.
- Yeah sure, whatever.

11:37.050 --> 11:39.177
I also told her you and I might get
married.

11:39.261 --> 11:41.638
- One day.
- Why'd you tell her that?

11:42.514 --> 11:44.391
Well anyway

11:45.016 --> 11:47.519
DUH-HUH!

11:47.602 --> 11:48.437
All that to say, I have no idea what

11:48.520 --> 11:49.354
She always acts cool and aloof.

11:49.438 --> 11:51.231
She's thinking, to be honest.

11:51.314 --> 11:52.941
She's not a bad person, I think.

11:53.024 --> 11:54.484
Probably. Maybe.

11:55.318 --> 11:56.903
That's what Yuki said.

11:57.904 --> 12:01.616
But I still have no idea how much or what
she actually knows about me.

12:01.700 --> 12:06.121
I hate the fact someone might know things
about me I don't want anyone to know.

12:06.204 --> 12:09.249
Just that thought makes me me so
incredibly uncomfortable.

12:10.000 --> 12:10.876
Please.

12:11.543 --> 12:13.920
I hope I don't have to see much of
her anymore.

12:32.272 --> 12:35.192
Well duh... We live in the same
neighborhood so of course we could run

12:35.275 --> 12:37.152
into each other on the way to school.

12:38.028 --> 12:38.862
So do-

12:38.945 --> 12:42.491
Do first years not participate in the
soccer club's morning practice or

12:42.574 --> 12:45.035
- something?
- There's no practice this morning.

12:45.994 --> 12:47.245
Oh... I see.

12:48.955 --> 12:50.373
SILENCE

12:50.457 --> 12:51.291
This is awkward.

12:52.250 --> 12:53.210
In moments like this

12:53.293 --> 12:56.296
the older one is supposed to start the
conversation, right?

12:56.379 --> 12:58.173
But what should I talk about?

12:59.841 --> 13:01.092
What do we have in common?

13:01.176 --> 13:02.010
Anything?

13:02.093 --> 13:04.596
I really don't wanna talk about
junior high school.

13:04.679 --> 13:05.764
Maybe high school?

13:05.847 --> 13:07.808
Ugh who wants to talk about school?

13:09.518 --> 13:12.020
What should I do? I'm so bad at talking.

13:16.566 --> 13:17.400
Good morning.

13:19.236 --> 13:20.153
Hey, Amamiya.

13:24.241 --> 13:25.075
What was that reaction?

13:25.158 --> 13:25.992
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

13:26.076 --> 13:29.037
Thank goodness.

13:29.120 --> 13:29.955
I'll be okay now.

13:30.038 --> 13:30.872
Hi Amamiya...

13:30.956 --> 13:31.790
Huh?

13:31.873 --> 13:32.791
- Good to see you.
- Did you two come together?

13:32.874 --> 13:34.543
Ran into each other on the train.

13:37.212 --> 13:38.046
Wow!

13:38.672 --> 13:40.006
You like that song too?

13:40.090 --> 13:41.466
I play it on repeat.

13:42.342 --> 13:43.176
Wow...

13:43.260 --> 13:45.637
He's so good at keeping the conversation
going.

13:46.471 --> 13:47.305
Amamiya

13:47.889 --> 13:51.768
I'm sorry for thinking you asked way too
many questions or found it exhausting.

13:51.852 --> 13:55.397
And I'm also sorry for laughing
at you when you were totally losing it.

13:55.480 --> 13:56.565
Stare.

13:57.315 --> 13:59.150
W-What? Something on my face?

14:00.026 --> 14:00.861
No

14:00.944 --> 14:04.573
MMPH MMPH

14:04.656 --> 14:05.490
I just feel

14:05.574 --> 14:09.494
kinda bad for teasing you back when you
were freaking out during spring break.

14:09.578 --> 14:10.412
Wait, why now?

14:14.833 --> 14:16.543
- Oh I'm getting it.
- Mmm

14:16.626 --> 14:17.460
Right here.

14:17.544 --> 14:18.378
- Force field.
- C'mon.

14:18.461 --> 14:19.379
You two're close, huh?

14:19.462 --> 14:21.381
Not really. I'm being bullied by her.

14:21.882 --> 14:23.091
She's blackmailing me.

14:23.592 --> 14:24.759
Huh? Hold on a minute.

14:31.516 --> 14:32.767
Hey, good morning, Akine!

14:33.393 --> 14:34.227
Momoka.

14:34.311 --> 14:36.938
I happened to see you and just ran
right over here.

14:37.022 --> 14:38.064
Wow

14:38.148 --> 14:39.983
she looks like a doll or something.

14:40.066 --> 14:41.192
Oh hi, Amamiya.

14:41.693 --> 14:42.944
Good morning to you too.

14:43.778 --> 14:44.613
Kuriki, right?

14:45.363 --> 14:47.574
You came to check out our club the
other day.

14:47.657 --> 14:49.534
Oh my goodness, you remember me?

14:50.410 --> 14:53.413
I ended up ultimately choosing not
to join a club after all

14:53.496 --> 14:55.206
so I haven't been back since.

14:55.707 --> 14:57.667
Aha, don't even worry about it.

14:57.751 --> 14:59.127
Plus, Atagawa's joining us.

14:59.878 --> 15:01.212
Oh I'm not that great-

15:01.296 --> 15:03.506
Akine seems like she'd be really
good at it.

15:04.049 --> 15:05.800
- It's like she glows.
- Hm?

15:06.801 --> 15:07.636
Oh.

15:09.888 --> 15:11.306
Oh... I get it.

15:12.098 --> 15:13.558
I think I'm not welcome here.

15:13.642 --> 15:14.684
That's it.

15:15.602 --> 15:17.479
I guess I'll just head to class then.

15:21.441 --> 15:22.275
What is he-

15:25.737 --> 15:26.821
Well then, Amamiya

15:26.905 --> 15:28.031
See you around.

15:28.657 --> 15:30.033
See you at the cheer squad.

15:34.955 --> 15:36.915
- What was that?
- I dunno...

15:36.998 --> 15:40.085
just thought you might be trying to
quietly float away again.

15:42.545 --> 15:44.506
- You got me.
- It was obvious.

15:47.634 --> 15:48.677
WHOOSH WHOOSH

15:48.760 --> 15:52.347
- I feel like a dog being taken for a walk.
- Wanna run in the park?

15:52.430 --> 15:53.264
What is this?

15:53.348 --> 15:54.224
PONTA

15:54.307 --> 15:55.141
No thank you.

15:57.018 --> 15:58.061
I'm over the moon.

15:58.144 --> 16:00.522
I didn't think Amamiya would remember me!

16:01.439 --> 16:04.067
Momoka. You've only met this guy one time.

16:04.651 --> 16:06.361
Correction: I met him two times!

16:07.028 --> 16:07.862
Okay.

16:09.072 --> 16:10.615
Hey Akine...

16:11.574 --> 16:12.867
Do you think that Amamiya

16:12.951 --> 16:14.285
might have a girlfriend?

16:16.162 --> 16:17.872
CHATTER CHATTER

16:18.373 --> 16:20.166
Hmm... I don't know.

16:20.959 --> 16:22.168
Can you find out for me?

16:26.589 --> 16:28.717
So how's your new class?

16:31.761 --> 16:35.598
You keep staring at me with this weird
grin and it's making me uncomfortable.

16:35.682 --> 16:37.434
IRREGULARLY HELD DINNER MEETING

16:37.517 --> 16:40.562
Oh what a delight. I'm ever so
happy to see you happy.

16:41.312 --> 16:43.231
Yeah whatever that is, knock it off.

16:45.400 --> 16:48.278
I didn't think I'd ever be fussing over
people this much.

16:48.903 --> 16:50.739
So, anything going on with you?

16:50.822 --> 16:51.865
Huh?

16:52.365 --> 16:53.199
No. Nothing.

16:53.283 --> 16:54.117
HMPH

16:54.743 --> 16:55.785
Okay, sorry I asked.

16:56.536 --> 16:58.747
To be honest with you, back in
junior high

16:58.830 --> 17:00.749
I only dated this one guy.

17:02.083 --> 17:04.335
I tried to get to know him little by
little.

17:05.587 --> 17:09.049
I dated him, thinking I'd eventually fall
in love with him over time.

17:09.924 --> 17:11.342
But that didn't go too well.

17:12.635 --> 17:13.470
I realized

17:13.553 --> 17:16.431
you can't fall in love by forcing
yourself to like someone.

17:16.514 --> 17:17.348
It won't work.

17:17.432 --> 17:18.266
IMPURE MOTIVE

17:19.559 --> 17:21.811
And that wasn't the only reason
I dated him.

17:21.895 --> 17:24.022
I'M SURE

17:24.105 --> 17:26.691
- C'mon don't ask me that.
- But you're different aren't you?

17:26.775 --> 17:29.110
There's a lot of different kinds of
love in the world.

17:29.194 --> 17:30.278
DIFFERENT KINDS

17:30.361 --> 17:32.197
If the type or the sizes don't match

17:32.864 --> 17:34.824
one of the people is going to struggle.

17:35.450 --> 17:37.452
It's not enough to just be liked

17:37.535 --> 17:38.912
or to give love one-sidedly

17:38.995 --> 17:39.996
I'M THE ONLY ONE STRUGGLING

17:40.080 --> 17:40.914
Love is hard.

17:41.664 --> 17:42.999
I feel like I'm still so far

17:43.083 --> 17:44.542
from understanding it.

17:44.626 --> 17:46.252
CREEP CREEP

17:46.336 --> 17:48.505
CURRENT SITUATION

17:48.588 --> 17:50.924
- Don't tell me that. Oh nooo
- Oh.

17:51.591 --> 17:52.425
Get outta here!

17:55.762 --> 17:56.763
I'm sorry.

18:01.601 --> 18:03.895
- I didn't mean it like that.
- How about gyoza?

18:03.978 --> 18:07.398
- No, that stuff makes your breath stink.
- Oh. They're from our school.

18:07.482 --> 18:08.483
Mm?

18:08.566 --> 18:10.401
HURRIEDLY

18:12.737 --> 18:13.613
Upperclassmen.

18:13.696 --> 18:14.781
This is awkward.

18:15.365 --> 18:17.450
A gyoza date's kinda low-key cool, though.

18:17.534 --> 18:18.993
Wait, that girl...

18:23.706 --> 18:25.041
Sorry if my breath stinks.

18:25.125 --> 18:27.293
My breath smells the same, so I
can't tell.

18:35.385 --> 18:36.219
Oh.

18:41.057 --> 18:41.975
Good morning.

18:43.309 --> 18:44.227
You... scared me.

18:44.727 --> 18:47.063
Reading a book while walking?
That's not safe.

18:48.273 --> 18:50.066
- Tch.
- Don't "tch" me.

18:51.192 --> 18:52.318
What were you reading?

18:53.695 --> 18:54.529
Um, I-

18:55.363 --> 18:56.906
What's that? It looks boring.

18:56.990 --> 18:59.033
THE NERVOUSNESS OF TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING I LIKE Oh

18:59.117 --> 18:59.951
Huh?

19:00.618 --> 19:02.871
I haven't read it, but I did watch the
movie.

19:03.371 --> 19:04.414
It was interesting.

19:05.081 --> 19:05.957
SOFTEN

19:07.000 --> 19:10.086
Another movie based on their books will
be streaming this week.

19:10.170 --> 19:12.422
Oh I watched that in the theater.

19:12.922 --> 19:14.716
I really liked the original novel so

19:14.799 --> 19:18.136
of course I was super excited to see it
adapted for the screen.

19:18.219 --> 19:20.597
Oh... Well, she's in a good mood.

19:21.222 --> 19:23.808
Well if you thought it was good,
I'll check it out.

19:25.435 --> 19:26.352
She looks happy.

19:29.856 --> 19:30.815
She's so cute.

19:31.608 --> 19:32.442
Oh

19:32.525 --> 19:34.861
But I'm sorry in advance if you end up
not liking it.

19:34.944 --> 19:36.070
Woah, why so negative?

19:36.154 --> 19:37.447
I MAY HAVE SET THE BAR TOO HIGH

19:37.530 --> 19:38.364
It'll be fine.

19:45.246 --> 19:46.497
Oh, so we meet again!

19:46.581 --> 19:47.749
Morning, Amamiya!

19:48.499 --> 19:50.460
Oh, Kuriki. Good morning.

19:50.543 --> 19:53.588
Hey, are you going to the cheer squad's
morning practice too?

19:53.671 --> 19:55.423
Mm-mm. I have club practice.

19:56.341 --> 19:57.926
But you'll be there, right Koyun?

19:58.009 --> 19:58.968
Oh.

19:59.052 --> 19:59.886
Yeah.

20:00.553 --> 20:01.888
He calls her... Koyun?

20:04.349 --> 20:05.183
Hello.

20:06.517 --> 20:08.394
THE CONVERSATION ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE

20:10.521 --> 20:11.564
Madam Koyun?

20:12.065 --> 20:13.441
What a weird nickname.

20:13.524 --> 20:14.901
We met yesterday, right?

20:15.526 --> 20:17.028
In front of the restaurant.

20:17.111 --> 20:18.821
Uh Right.

20:18.905 --> 20:20.782
I didn't think she recognized me.

20:21.574 --> 20:23.660
That really tall guy I saw you out with

20:23.743 --> 20:24.827
Is he your boyfriend?

20:26.537 --> 20:28.164
What- No- He's just a friend!

20:28.248 --> 20:29.207
Oh

20:29.290 --> 20:32.627
You guys looked so good together that I
thought you were a couple.

20:33.419 --> 20:36.297
Though I don't remember what he
looked like to be honest.

20:36.381 --> 20:37.382
No way.

20:37.465 --> 20:39.592
Is that what we look like to other
people?

20:39.676 --> 20:41.678
This misunderstanding's a problem.

20:41.761 --> 20:42.720
Yay!

20:43.596 --> 20:44.430
Um...

20:44.514 --> 20:46.349
we're really not like that, okay?

20:46.432 --> 20:48.643
We're just good friends. That's all
we are.

20:48.726 --> 20:50.812
Oh gotcha. Well that's still really nice.

20:51.312 --> 20:52.313
So then

20:52.397 --> 20:54.232
Do you guys go out to eat together?

20:54.315 --> 20:55.525
Just the two of you?

20:56.025 --> 20:57.068
Alone?

20:59.696 --> 21:00.738
Just the two of us?

21:00.822 --> 21:02.699
- No, not really.
- Right.

21:03.199 --> 21:04.200
Want to?

21:04.284 --> 21:05.493
Stop messing around.

21:06.953 --> 21:08.496
I was being dead serious.

21:12.125 --> 21:15.128
I'm not comfortable asking other
people about their private lives.

21:15.211 --> 21:16.462
Ask him yourself.

21:17.005 --> 21:19.132
Woah, that's kinda harsh, don't you
think?

21:21.092 --> 21:23.136
Is it cause your girlfriend would get
jealous?

21:23.219 --> 21:25.305
Huh? No, I don't have a girlfriend.

21:25.388 --> 21:26.556
Are you serious?

21:26.639 --> 21:29.892
That's weird. You seem like you'd
be really popular with girls.

21:29.976 --> 21:30.977
Right, Madame Koyun?

21:31.853 --> 21:32.687
Huh? Oh

21:32.770 --> 21:34.147
CONVERSATION FROM A WHILE BACK

21:34.230 --> 21:37.483
I guess so.
You DO seem like you've dated a lot.

21:39.360 --> 21:41.029
Th-That's not even remotely true!

21:42.280 --> 21:44.824
Denying it like that just makes it more
suspicious.

21:44.907 --> 21:45.742
Huh?

21:46.409 --> 21:48.411
- Yeah, it does.
- Hey, now...

21:49.203 --> 21:50.788
