WEBVTT
00:03.950 --> 00:07.120
I came to see you, Mizuho.
00:11.760 --> 00:15.010
Showing up all of a sudden
just "to see" me? What?
00:15.540 --> 00:17.920
Our relationship ended a long time ago!
00:18.280 --> 00:20.560
Don't come back to apologize now!
00:22.540 --> 00:23.560
Mizuho!
00:23.560 --> 00:25.240
I don't want to hear it!
00:28.020 --> 00:29.680
These three years...
00:29.680 --> 00:31.820
I kept thinking about it.
00:32.440 --> 00:35.850
Why did Kizuki disappear from my life?
00:35.850 --> 00:37.020
Why?
00:41.200 --> 00:44.580
Fill your head with more thoughts of me.
01:36.160 --> 01:37.900
I was always afraid.
01:56.770 --> 01:59.540
I'm Kizuki... Hazawa...
02:02.220 --> 02:04.570
I would have never imagined
Kizuki leaving my side,
02:04.570 --> 02:06.270
since he's always been with me.
02:07.220 --> 02:08.970
Mi-chan, let's play.
02:12.420 --> 02:15.430
Mi-chan. It hurts.
02:15.850 --> 02:18.880
Hold on just a little longer, Kizuki.
02:21.270 --> 02:22.300
Even if...
02:23.180 --> 02:25.700
Mizuho! I'll go home with you.
02:30.120 --> 02:32.800
I wish to become your boyfriend.
02:34.270 --> 02:35.460
Mizuho.
02:35.460 --> 02:36.580
Someday...
02:40.440 --> 02:43.140
The day we get separated comes...
02:47.470 --> 02:51.190
I want the current Kizuki.
02:57.330 --> 02:58.490
Mizuho.
02:59.150 --> 03:01.850
Am I still a little brother to you?
03:13.230 --> 03:14.120
Mizuho.
03:14.120 --> 03:15.110
No.
03:15.490 --> 03:16.740
You're my boyfriend.
03:17.200 --> 03:20.240
From this point on, you're my boyfriend!
03:20.530 --> 03:22.030
Sorry to bother you!
03:31.380 --> 03:34.120
I want all of you, Kizuki.
03:40.280 --> 03:43.140
Just now, Mizuho...
03:45.880 --> 03:48.470
Called me her boyfriend!
05:19.530 --> 05:21.010
Say cheese!
05:21.010 --> 05:21.700
Now!
05:21.700 --> 05:22.440
Cheese!
05:22.440 --> 05:23.890
Cheese! Okay!
05:23.890 --> 05:24.520
Do I look good?
05:24.520 --> 05:25.400
Looking good.
05:25.400 --> 05:26.710
Nice.
05:26.710 --> 05:28.470
Lemme take some from above.
05:28.470 --> 05:29.420
From the top.
05:29.420 --> 05:30.510
Okay!
05:35.500 --> 05:37.110
Nishino
05:49.330 --> 05:50.360
Mizuho.
05:51.560 --> 05:53.140
Hey. You're late.
05:53.560 --> 05:56.160
Why are you just standing there?
05:56.530 --> 05:58.800
I was just about to go get you.
05:59.290 --> 06:00.850
Thanks for getting the chicken for us.
06:00.850 --> 06:03.200
Oh no, you're covered in snow.
06:03.670 --> 06:06.160
Come on, let's head inside.
06:06.970 --> 06:09.580
Sorry, Airu.
06:10.680 --> 06:11.880
I can't.
06:18.550 --> 06:21.550
I can't go to the
Christmas party right now.
06:21.840 --> 06:25.140
I'm going to go to Chika's. Sorry.
06:32.220 --> 06:33.220
Airu?
06:34.140 --> 06:35.170
What's wrong?
06:37.640 --> 06:39.740
Let's head inside and eat chicken!
06:39.740 --> 06:41.900
Mizuho said she's going to
Chika-chan's place.
06:41.900 --> 06:42.910
What?
06:46.570 --> 06:47.740
Shin-chan...
06:48.120 --> 06:50.020
No matter what happens from now on,
06:50.410 --> 06:53.640
let's look after Mizuho and Kizuki, okay?
07:09.790 --> 07:12.300
Well, we're heading home now.
07:12.300 --> 07:14.390
You sure you don't need our help?
07:14.390 --> 07:17.220
Nah. It's pretty much done.
07:17.220 --> 07:19.020
I'm going to go home soon, too.
07:19.020 --> 07:21.570
Okay, I'll leave the rest to you.
07:21.570 --> 07:22.650
Yup.
07:31.190 --> 07:33.120
How's it that the person who was looking
07:33.120 --> 07:34.930
forward to the food
the most isn't even here?
07:34.930 --> 07:36.160
What's with that?
07:38.670 --> 07:40.050
That Mizuho.
07:40.050 --> 07:44.020
The world must be ending
if she's not eating my cake.
07:54.180 --> 07:57.180
Winter Break
Starts Tomorrow!
08:03.160 --> 08:05.690
So, what are you going to do?
08:06.270 --> 08:09.900
I'm going to go talk to Shin.
08:09.900 --> 08:11.040
I see.
08:12.200 --> 08:15.200
Shin
08:12.200 --> 08:15.200
m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215
08:12.200 --> 08:15.200
Want to go ice
skating after school?
08:12.660 --> 08:15.200
Want to go ice skating after school?
08:16.330 --> 08:17.330
What?
08:35.420 --> 08:36.720
Does it hurt?
08:37.330 --> 08:39.510
Nope. I'm okay.
08:39.510 --> 08:40.230
All right.
08:41.710 --> 08:42.800
Then let's go.
08:53.940 --> 08:55.870
Ouch!
08:57.480 --> 08:59.270
That was a dramatic fall.
08:59.270 --> 09:01.100
You've gotten worse than before.
09:02.080 --> 09:05.000
Shin... Why did you suggest
we go skating all of a sudden?
09:06.740 --> 09:10.510
When we used to come here,
it was always the five of us together.
09:11.650 --> 09:16.010
Syugo and Airu were the energetic ones,
being louder than usual.
09:16.880 --> 09:19.650
But I wanted to come here
one day with you, Mizuho.
09:19.650 --> 09:21.020
Just the two of us.
09:30.940 --> 09:33.030
Like holding hands while walking...
09:33.850 --> 09:36.890
Or drinking hot cocoa that we bought
from a stall together.
09:37.930 --> 09:41.420
Or exchanging Christmas presents here...
09:42.620 --> 09:46.670
Right now, I understand it a little more.
09:46.670 --> 09:48.460
The thing you told me back then.
09:49.810 --> 09:51.630
"I want to stay friends."
09:52.030 --> 09:53.940
"I don't want things to change."
09:55.380 --> 09:58.930
But time didn't wait.
09:58.930 --> 10:02.650
We kept changing
with each passing moment.
10:03.780 --> 10:05.000
Mizuho...
10:05.590 --> 10:08.730
Did I lose to Kizuki?
10:09.200 --> 10:10.230
Shin...
10:22.480 --> 10:23.500
I...
10:24.790 --> 10:27.000
I've decided to go out with Kizuki.
10:30.680 --> 10:32.010
I see.
10:33.470 --> 10:37.010
You've finally realized
what your feelings are.
10:40.120 --> 10:44.230
I wanted you to fall
for me before that, though.
10:44.660 --> 10:47.750
But you came to that realization
a lot sooner than I thought.
10:48.400 --> 10:49.240
What?
10:49.240 --> 10:51.270
Shin... Where are you going?
11:11.460 --> 11:13.300
It's so sweet!
11:13.850 --> 11:16.800
So this is what hot cocoa tastes like.
11:19.300 --> 11:21.780
I don't think we can go back
to being childhood friends.
11:21.780 --> 11:22.770
What?
11:22.770 --> 11:26.110
I don't think I can go back
to being friendly like we did before.
11:27.880 --> 11:30.780
We can't... go back?
11:35.800 --> 11:37.200
I lied.
11:39.460 --> 11:41.700
I'll stay friends with you.
11:42.190 --> 11:43.900
So stop making that face.
11:44.300 --> 11:45.440
Smile.
11:47.960 --> 11:50.820
If you're worried,
I can at least lend an ear.
11:50.820 --> 11:52.880
You're such a clown, after all.
11:52.880 --> 11:55.380
What? A clown?!
11:55.380 --> 11:57.090
Lame.
11:57.810 --> 12:02.970
I-I'll have you know I'm doing
my best, even as a clown!
12:02.970 --> 12:05.630
Yeah, do your best.
12:05.630 --> 12:07.780
Ow! That's cold!
12:07.780 --> 12:09.980
You just adjusted
the swing time, didn't you?
12:11.170 --> 12:12.220
I love you.
12:16.940 --> 12:17.990
I love you.
12:22.360 --> 12:23.490
I love you.
12:30.550 --> 12:31.690
I love you!
12:36.550 --> 12:37.720
I love you!
12:38.720 --> 12:39.940
I love you.
12:45.730 --> 12:48.390
Oh, it's snowing again.
12:53.770 --> 12:55.570
I've always loved you.
12:58.380 --> 12:59.820
So pretty.
13:00.150 --> 13:02.250
Sorry, Mizuho.
13:03.220 --> 13:07.580
I can't imagine myself giving
up on you, even as an adult.
13:10.450 --> 13:12.170
I hope things work out
between you and Kizuki.
13:14.400 --> 13:18.670
But, in ten years,
if you're ever alone...
13:19.860 --> 13:20.860
I...
13:30.330 --> 13:31.740
Never mind.
13:31.740 --> 13:33.130
Let's go home.
13:33.440 --> 13:34.660
Okay.
13:34.660 --> 13:37.030
Oh! Actually, hold on!
13:45.340 --> 13:48.080
Sorry, I can't go back to being friends.
13:51.360 --> 13:53.320
Hey, did you do the kanji homework?
13:53.320 --> 13:54.840
Nope.
13:54.840 --> 13:56.370
I see.
13:56.370 --> 13:57.340
Oh, Shin!
13:59.340 --> 14:01.810
For you! A present!
14:01.810 --> 14:02.840
Huh? What?
14:03.160 --> 14:04.630
A pencil box?
14:04.630 --> 14:06.090
What's this about?
14:13.600 --> 14:17.730
I may like animals,
but I can't handle bugs!
14:17.730 --> 14:19.730
Wait, really?
14:20.300 --> 14:22.560
I thought you'd like it.
14:22.560 --> 14:23.610
Bye-bye.
14:24.250 --> 14:27.260
Mizuho always exceeded my expectations.
14:28.100 --> 14:32.510
Announcing the candidacy for
Ao High's 54th student council president!
14:30.850 --> 14:36.610
Shin Kashiwagi
14:32.510 --> 14:35.440
First year, Class 3. Shin Kashiwagi!
14:35.440 --> 14:36.630
Please consider us!
14:36.960 --> 14:38.630
Good luck on your election!
14:38.630 --> 14:40.110
I'm rooting for you!
14:40.110 --> 14:41.010
Thanks.
14:41.010 --> 14:43.600
All right. The line
for handshakes is this way.
14:41.630 --> 14:44.530
Oh my gosh, he shook my hand!
14:43.600 --> 14:46.640
Here you go. Please take a flyer.
14:44.530 --> 14:47.260
Wow! I'm not washing my hands today!
14:47.260 --> 14:49.290
Huh? Where's Mizuho?
14:49.290 --> 14:51.750
She's staying behind for math right now.
14:56.980 --> 14:58.340
Shin!
14:58.340 --> 15:01.590
Sorry I couldn't help you
with your campaign.
15:02.030 --> 15:04.280
Are you going to pass
your make-up math exam?
15:05.730 --> 15:07.780
Only God knows, I guess.
15:07.780 --> 15:09.010
Seriously...
15:09.890 --> 15:11.830
I hate stupid women.
15:11.830 --> 15:13.480
Anyway! Here!
15:13.480 --> 15:15.600
A present for you!
15:15.600 --> 15:17.900
What is this all of a sudden?
15:17.900 --> 15:19.180
So sleepy...
15:19.180 --> 15:21.800
I only slept for an hour last night.
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
Shin Kashiwagi
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
Student Council
President Candidate
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
It's
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
Time
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
For
15:25.310 --> 15:26.780
Reform
15:27.260 --> 15:28.800
SHIN KASHIWAGI
15:27.260 --> 15:28.800
Student Council
President Candidate
15:27.260 --> 15:28.800
Leave the Future
15:27.260 --> 15:28.800
of Ao High to Me
15:27.300 --> 15:28.800
Posters?
15:39.730 --> 15:40.890
Dummy.
15:41.800 --> 15:44.520
But Mizuho constantly
exceeded my expectations...
15:50.260 --> 15:52.020
She makes my heart race.
16:00.450 --> 16:01.510
Shin!
16:02.650 --> 16:04.860
Here, to repay you for the hot chocolate.
16:04.860 --> 16:06.780
You must be cold, right?
16:07.090 --> 16:08.350
Thanks.
16:12.180 --> 16:14.150
Let's go home before
the trains stop running.
16:14.150 --> 16:14.960
Okay.
16:17.610 --> 16:19.760
Sorry, Mizuho.
16:20.970 --> 16:24.160
For falling for you this much.
16:46.500 --> 16:49.510
I came to see you, Mizuho.
16:53.300 --> 16:55.640
Sorry, it was an emergency call.
16:56.330 --> 16:57.640
Mizuho?
16:58.400 --> 17:00.260
Oh, yeah! Right.
17:00.260 --> 17:02.400
Was everything all right with your call?
17:02.400 --> 17:03.670
All good.
17:03.670 --> 17:06.210
But before that,
I'm sorry about yesterday.
17:06.210 --> 17:08.070
I couldn't make it
to the fireworks festival.
17:08.070 --> 17:09.720
It's okay.
17:09.720 --> 17:11.450
You're busy anyway, Shin.
17:11.970 --> 17:15.060
But Airu and Syugo didn't
even make it in the end, right?
17:15.060 --> 17:16.980
You were all by yourself.
17:17.490 --> 17:21.390
Those two asked me to treat you
to something good to make up for it.
17:21.720 --> 17:22.960
Yup.
17:29.090 --> 17:30.540
Thank you very much.
17:33.210 --> 17:35.770
Thanks for the meal, Kashiwagi-sensei.
17:35.770 --> 17:37.590
Don't call me "sensei."
17:39.920 --> 17:42.170
I wish I had seen the fireworks, too.
17:42.170 --> 17:46.110
The Koigahama fireworks
were as beautiful as always.
17:46.860 --> 17:50.790
When you're in Tokyo, you can't help
but yearn for the Koigahama fireworks.
17:52.700 --> 17:54.490
Is Koigahama over there?
17:54.490 --> 17:57.470
Nope. That's Fukagawa.
17:57.470 --> 18:00.660
Koigahama is more south of Tsukishima...
18:01.320 --> 18:03.160
But you can't even see it from here.
18:03.590 --> 18:05.130
Oh, yeah.
18:05.130 --> 18:07.420
Kizuki apparently lives around Tsukishima.
18:08.470 --> 18:10.350
According to my mom's intel—
18:10.350 --> 18:11.360
Shin.
18:11.360 --> 18:12.420
Hm?
18:12.420 --> 18:15.890
During the fireworks festival...
Kizuki showed up.
18:17.260 --> 18:18.250
What?
18:18.760 --> 18:21.120
He said that he came to see me.
18:21.120 --> 18:24.770
But no matter what he says, it's too late.
18:25.210 --> 18:26.270
I...
18:27.430 --> 18:30.500
I said something terrible and left him.
18:30.500 --> 18:34.030
Even though Kizuki and I
ended things a long time ago.
18:34.520 --> 18:39.030
Are things with Kizuki really
over for you, Mizuho?
18:40.880 --> 18:42.310
It's not over.
18:42.310 --> 18:44.670
It hasn't been over for me.
18:45.650 --> 18:49.500
But I don't know what to do.
18:49.920 --> 18:51.100
It'll be over.
18:52.420 --> 18:54.140
I can make it end.
18:54.140 --> 18:55.400
What?
18:55.400 --> 18:58.290
I meant to tell you this
during the fireworks.
19:13.820 --> 19:16.360
Let's go out.
19:16.360 --> 19:17.810
Shin...
19:17.810 --> 19:19.370
But Shin, you...
19:19.370 --> 19:23.620
Let me see if I still like you, Mizuho.
19:34.130 --> 19:35.620
Like this...
19:39.800 --> 19:41.990
If your heart races
when you're with someone,
19:44.490 --> 19:46.370
it means you're in love.
19:54.840 --> 19:56.650
I hope things go well with you and Kizuki.
19:58.660 --> 20:02.860
But if you see yourself
being alone in ten years...
20:03.310 --> 20:04.630
I...
20:06.480 --> 20:10.300
If we keep this up,
we'll both be stuck in the past.
20:10.690 --> 20:13.810
Things with you haven't ended
for me either, Mizuho.
20:13.810 --> 20:15.670
Always. So...
20:15.980 --> 20:17.910
Let's start anew together.
20:19.230 --> 20:22.710
You can take your time with your answer.
22:00.640 --> 22:03.240
Sorry, Airu.
22:04.440 --> 22:05.620
I can't.
22:08.110 --> 22:11.250
I can't go to the
Christmas party right now.
22:11.570 --> 22:13.640
I'm going to go to Chika's.
22:22.130 --> 22:23.300
Airu!
22:37.970 --> 22:40.150
Thanks for buying my drink!
22:40.150 --> 22:43.650
What's a guy who skipped school
because of a fever doing here?
22:43.960 --> 22:47.780
I really wanted to go out for a run
after my fever went down.
22:49.370 --> 22:51.930
See? It really went down.
22:51.930 --> 22:53.170
I'm all right!
22:54.160 --> 22:58.430
I ate a full meal a bit ago,
and my body feels light.
22:58.430 --> 23:01.050
I feel better than ever.
23:04.540 --> 23:08.070
I've heard a lot about it
since last night.
23:08.440 --> 23:10.310
Okay, okay. Congrats!
23:10.310 --> 23:13.370
Good for you that Mizuho
calls you her "boyfriend" now!
23:13.370 --> 23:15.020
That tickles.
23:15.400 --> 23:18.310
I haven't said anything at all today.
23:18.310 --> 23:21.440
Your happiness is bursting out of you.
23:21.980 --> 23:26.230
That's because Mizuho's
always been looking my way.
23:27.020 --> 23:29.620
Even when I was weak with my asthma,
23:29.620 --> 23:31.520
or when I couldn't improve my time,
23:31.520 --> 23:33.710
or when my soul was crushed...
23:34.790 --> 23:38.190
She made me stronger
when I was at my weakest.
23:38.750 --> 23:42.460
That's why I'm so happy that
my feelings were able to reach her!
23:42.830 --> 23:45.470
I want to see Mizuho all of a sudden—
23:56.390 --> 23:58.980
Mizuho's not the only one
23:59.540 --> 24:01.180
that's been looking your way, Kizuki.
24:09.990 --> 24:14.990
