WEBVTT
00:07.140 --> 00:08.870
Hey, um...
00:11.210 --> 00:12.880
Can I do some cleaning?
00:13.720 --> 00:16.010
You don't have to...
00:16.410 --> 00:19.000
No, I didn't mean like that.
00:19.330 --> 00:20.790
I enjoy cleaning.
00:21.470 --> 00:23.480
And, um, I kind of want to.
00:24.060 --> 00:25.860
Then by all means.
00:35.900 --> 00:42.660
JOURNAL WITH WITCH
02:02.060 --> 02:03.530
A novel?
02:02.820 --> 02:07.790
EPISODE 2: WRAP
02:04.310 --> 02:07.120
You're actually writing one? A novel?
02:07.610 --> 02:08.780
What if I am?
02:10.120 --> 02:13.790
A novel, of all things! You're so—
02:30.060 --> 02:32.640
She's good at singing...
02:41.620 --> 02:44.350
That's her journal entry?
02:51.600 --> 02:53.610
EMIRI: HOW ARE THINGS GOING?
02:56.920 --> 02:59.220
Hey... Hey.
02:59.220 --> 03:00.090
Yeah?
03:00.420 --> 03:02.340
About leaving that open...
03:02.340 --> 03:04.940
I feel guilty for glancing at it.
03:05.470 --> 03:07.950
Could you be a bit more discreet?
03:08.460 --> 03:10.600
I don't mind if you read it.
03:11.570 --> 03:13.770
But it's a journal.
03:13.770 --> 03:15.680
It's supposed to be more...
03:17.620 --> 03:18.970
Let's have dinner.
03:18.970 --> 03:19.880
Uh, okay.
03:23.710 --> 03:25.970
I feel like we had hot pot yesterday.
03:26.420 --> 03:29.030
The routine around here is hot pot, hot pot,
03:29.030 --> 03:32.730
rice bowl, rice bowl, ginger pork,
ginger pork, then sashimi.
03:32.730 --> 03:33.930
The routine, as in...?
03:33.930 --> 03:34.980
For the week.
03:35.430 --> 03:36.850
Plus udon for lunch.
03:37.380 --> 03:38.620
On what day?
03:39.000 --> 03:40.000
Every day.
03:40.000 --> 03:42.000
Wait, what?
03:43.600 --> 03:45.130
"How are things going?"
03:45.670 --> 03:47.450
It's from a classmate.
03:47.450 --> 03:49.790
I'm not sure how to respond.
03:49.790 --> 03:53.260
That reminds me...
I got a message like that too.
03:53.260 --> 03:55.140
Really? How did you reply?
03:55.140 --> 03:56.870
Er, I haven't yet.
03:57.770 --> 04:00.330
I should get on that.
04:04.650 --> 04:07.660
MAKIO-CHAN, YOU HAVEN'T RESPONDED
IN LIKE A WEEK. YOU ALIVE? HOW GOES?
04:11.410 --> 04:13.410
I HAVE SOME NEWS. I DECIDED TO...
04:14.230 --> 04:17.910
Holy crap!
04:17.910 --> 04:20.390
You're, like, actually a parent
all of a sudden!
04:20.390 --> 04:22.040
Unbelievable, isn't it?
04:22.040 --> 04:23.580
It's cold out, so come on in.
04:23.580 --> 04:25.240
Thanks a bunch.
04:26.160 --> 04:27.810
You're Asa-chan, right?
04:27.810 --> 04:29.630
I heard from Makio.
04:29.630 --> 04:31.220
I'm Nana Daigo.
04:31.220 --> 04:32.180
How old are you?
04:32.670 --> 04:33.940
Fifteen.
04:33.940 --> 04:36.330
Fifteen? That's crazy.
04:36.330 --> 04:37.770
Oh, and hey.
04:37.770 --> 04:39.750
Can you make some of that tea again?
04:38.780 --> 04:41.630
I don't get it. What's crazy?
04:39.750 --> 04:41.640
I can if my cinnamon isn't dead.
04:41.640 --> 04:42.660
For real?
04:43.500 --> 04:46.570
Whoa, when did this room get so clean?
04:46.570 --> 04:48.580
I can actually sit down. Look.
04:48.580 --> 04:50.960
I don't know about that bare-shoulder look.
04:50.960 --> 04:53.450
Wait, does cinnamon actually die?
04:53.450 --> 04:56.330
Are they even having the same conversation?
04:53.450 --> 04:55.200
It must be mummified by now.
04:55.860 --> 04:57.730
Are we even having the same conversation?
04:57.730 --> 04:59.340
I heard you, yeah.
04:59.340 --> 05:00.780
So? Does cinnamon really die?
05:00.780 --> 05:02.210
Shush.
05:00.780 --> 05:02.210
So they do get each other...
05:03.570 --> 05:05.420
Oh! U-Um...
05:06.210 --> 05:08.470
I, uh...
05:08.470 --> 05:13.400
I've just never seen two grown-ups
act like friends, so...
05:13.400 --> 05:15.560
Really? Not even your mom?
05:17.050 --> 05:20.350
I think she means she's never
seen such lousy grown-ups.
05:20.350 --> 05:23.070
Ah, that's gotta be it!
05:23.570 --> 05:25.920
Grown-ups wouldn't go busting a gut, duh.
05:25.920 --> 05:27.850
"Busting a gut, duh"?
05:26.960 --> 05:28.460
That's crazy.
05:28.460 --> 05:29.980
I'm hungry.
05:30.450 --> 05:32.090
Let's make some dinner.
05:32.090 --> 05:33.140
What's this?
05:33.140 --> 05:34.320
Dessert.
05:34.320 --> 05:36.940
Say, have you even been
cooking like you should?
05:36.940 --> 05:38.840
Has she been feeding you?
05:38.840 --> 05:40.620
Um, well...
05:42.750 --> 05:47.010
SAT/SUN: HOT POT, MON/TUES: OYAKODON,
WED/THURS: GINGER PORK, FRIDAY: SASHIMI
UDON FOR LUNCH
05:44.040 --> 05:45.150
Let's see here.
05:45.150 --> 05:48.350
Hot pot, hot pot, rice bowl,
rice bowl, pork, pork, sashimi.
05:47.010 --> 05:48.280
AS ABOVE, SO ONWARD
05:48.280 --> 05:50.550
SAME APPLIES FOR SUMMER
-MAKIO
05:48.350 --> 05:50.230
That's a solid lineup.
05:51.340 --> 05:52.780
Not bad.
05:52.780 --> 05:55.670
I still need to get used to cooking for two.
05:55.670 --> 05:57.990
Eh, that'll come with time.
06:02.380 --> 06:04.670
Was your older sister a stay-at-home mom?
06:05.070 --> 06:06.210
Don't ask me.
06:06.210 --> 06:08.270
You don't know? That's crazy.
06:08.690 --> 06:12.350
Aha, I see now.
06:10.600 --> 06:12.990
This is how grown-ups talk?
06:12.990 --> 06:14.620
I totally understand.
06:14.620 --> 06:19.170
I was originally planning on
making dinner for you two...
06:20.180 --> 06:22.040
But screw that.
06:24.670 --> 06:27.020
No, this isn't grown-up talk.
06:27.020 --> 06:28.190
It feels more like...
06:38.580 --> 06:41.250
a whole other language.
06:42.840 --> 06:45.160
Whaddya say? Let's make it together.
06:46.150 --> 06:49.120
In fact, you two can do the bulk of the work.
06:49.120 --> 06:49.870
Wait!
06:49.870 --> 06:51.500
Don't you worry. It'll be fine.
06:51.500 --> 06:52.550
Daigo!
06:53.070 --> 06:56.290
I'm already making her clean.
06:56.290 --> 06:58.310
I'm in! I-I want to cook!
07:00.050 --> 07:03.790
So, what? You're already
making her clean. And?
07:03.790 --> 07:06.760
I-I can't force her to cook on top of that.
07:06.760 --> 07:09.760
I can wrap them! I can wrap the gyoza!
07:09.760 --> 07:11.170
You heard the girl.
07:11.450 --> 07:14.880
I-I don't want to dictate
what she can or can't do...
07:14.880 --> 07:17.900
If Makio-chan doesn't want
me to, I don't have to...
07:19.060 --> 07:20.430
Awkward!
07:22.110 --> 07:23.600
Listen, Makio-kun.
07:23.940 --> 07:28.780
You once came to me about how you
couldn't do even the simplest things.
07:28.780 --> 07:29.440
Daigo...
07:29.440 --> 07:31.610
I never wanna see you cry like that.
07:31.000 --> 07:32.660
Daigo!
07:31.610 --> 07:33.150
Not ever again, you hear?
07:35.870 --> 07:37.700
She doesn't seem very grown-up...
07:38.400 --> 07:41.960
I've never seen this side of Makio-chan.
07:42.460 --> 07:44.840
Consider it a good opportunity.
07:44.840 --> 07:49.440
So from this moment forward,
we'll be Team Bao.
07:49.440 --> 07:50.460
Team Bao?
07:50.960 --> 07:55.720
TEAM BAO
07:52.500 --> 07:54.010
A team wrapping up bao...
07:54.010 --> 07:55.730
hence Team Bao!
07:56.070 --> 07:59.720
You know what makes gyoza so great?
You can fill them with virtually anything.
07:59.720 --> 08:01.570
Any requests?
08:01.570 --> 08:02.730
Ginger buds.
08:02.730 --> 08:04.980
Those aren't even in season.
08:04.290 --> 08:06.980
Women who wrap...
08:10.000 --> 08:13.010
JOURNAL WITH WITCH
08:13.250 --> 08:14.860
Can you heat this up in the microwave?
08:14.860 --> 08:15.960
One minute should do it.
08:15.960 --> 08:17.000
Okay.
08:17.000 --> 08:19.040
Makio, you cut the stem off the eggplants.
08:19.040 --> 08:20.480
And mince the cabbage.
08:20.480 --> 08:21.380
Okay.
08:21.820 --> 08:24.890
This reminds me of your dog, Daigo.
08:24.890 --> 08:27.010
Didn't it love cabbage cores?
08:27.010 --> 08:28.260
Oh, yeah.
08:28.610 --> 08:31.500
I remember the sound of all that crunching.
08:37.250 --> 08:38.380
I don't eat cabbage cores!
08:38.380 --> 08:39.710
She's like a corgi.
08:39.710 --> 08:41.110
Nah, I say a shiba.
08:41.110 --> 08:42.520
With a black nose.
08:42.520 --> 08:44.260
My nose isn't black!
08:44.640 --> 08:46.600
Slice it lengthwise. Yeah, like that.
08:46.600 --> 08:47.760
Hey, Makio.
08:48.040 --> 08:49.520
Heat up the eggplant next.
08:49.940 --> 08:52.220
You're good at mincing.
08:52.220 --> 08:55.970
When I did it my home ec class,
this guy took my place.
08:55.970 --> 08:57.660
What? What's his deal?
08:57.660 --> 09:00.190
Maybe he likes you, Asa-chan.
09:00.190 --> 09:03.340
No, he just really liked green onions.
09:04.040 --> 09:06.570
You're suddenly starting to sound like Makio.
09:07.900 --> 09:12.410
Okay! Let's throw it all in this bowl
and mix it all up!
09:12.750 --> 09:15.060
I don't say weird stuff like that...
09:15.060 --> 09:16.360
But he told me as much.
09:16.360 --> 09:18.170
He was like, "I love green onions!"
09:18.460 --> 09:20.560
Don't worry about measuring the seasoning.
09:20.910 --> 09:23.910
Now mix it up round and
round in one direction.
09:24.520 --> 09:28.750
Daigo-san, how do you know
so much about gyoza?
09:28.750 --> 09:32.500
A guy who worked at a Chinese
restaurant once taught me.
09:33.010 --> 09:34.530
I had a crush on him.
09:35.000 --> 09:36.160
Keep that hand moving.
09:36.700 --> 09:38.460
I've never heard this story.
09:38.460 --> 09:40.460
Well, yeah, it's cringey to look back on.
09:40.740 --> 09:44.520
But every time I make gyoza,
it reminds me of him...
09:45.450 --> 09:46.240
The jerk!
09:46.240 --> 09:48.460
Then don't make gyoza.
09:48.460 --> 09:50.970
Round and round and round and round...
09:49.030 --> 09:50.970
Hey, so what do I do with this eggplant?
09:50.970 --> 09:53.950
Round and around and around and around...
09:50.970 --> 09:54.780
Tear it by hand, then add ground
sesame and noodle soup broth.
09:54.780 --> 09:57.930
What did I grow up eating?
09:58.480 --> 10:01.010
All those homemade meals...
10:01.740 --> 10:05.440
I used to think they were good. But now...
10:05.950 --> 10:07.720
Is it good, Asa?
10:07.720 --> 10:08.760
Yeah!
10:09.730 --> 10:11.540
I can't remember.
10:12.580 --> 10:14.230
My mom's gyoza...
10:14.230 --> 10:16.050
What did she put in them again?
10:17.730 --> 10:20.230
'Tis time to wrap, Team Bao!
10:20.430 --> 10:21.320
Yessir.
10:20.430 --> 10:21.320
Okay!
10:21.320 --> 10:25.240
I shall make you my secret
dipping sauce in the meantime.
10:25.240 --> 10:26.430
Secret?
10:26.430 --> 10:28.210
It's a classified recipe.
10:28.210 --> 10:29.620
I'll teach it to you later.
10:29.620 --> 10:30.800
Can I have your LINE ID?
10:31.260 --> 10:32.030
Yeah!
10:32.030 --> 10:33.780
So much for classified.
10:33.780 --> 10:36.480
Fine, I shall bestow the recipe upon you too.
10:36.480 --> 10:38.700
Asa-chan, could you share it with her?
10:38.700 --> 10:39.830
Yeah, sure!
10:40.700 --> 10:41.820
Uh...
10:42.750 --> 10:44.610
You haven't exchanged IDs yet?
10:44.610 --> 10:46.050
Get on that!
10:46.050 --> 10:50.010
Well, we've been at home
together all this time, so...
10:50.010 --> 10:52.490
Now! Begin wrapping, dear Team Bao!
10:52.490 --> 10:53.270
Yeah!
10:52.490 --> 10:53.270
M'kay.
10:58.280 --> 11:00.270
Garlic-ginger oyster sauce.
11:00.270 --> 11:01.650
Pickled plum and mustard sauce.
11:01.650 --> 11:03.280
Shiso with miso and onion-vinegar sauce.
11:03.280 --> 11:05.800
And finally, the classic vinegared
soy sauce with chili oil.
11:05.800 --> 11:07.530
Plus tons of sliced ginger.
11:07.890 --> 11:10.250
It looks so good!
11:10.760 --> 11:12.050
For the Gram?
11:12.050 --> 11:13.360
For the Gram.
11:14.300 --> 11:15.980
Okay! All done.
11:15.980 --> 11:17.280
Let's dig—
11:26.360 --> 11:27.560
Shiba it is.
11:30.360 --> 11:33.310
"How are things going," huh?
11:33.580 --> 11:37.220
Does this friend know about your parents?
11:37.220 --> 11:38.170
She does.
11:38.170 --> 11:39.310
Gotcha.
11:39.310 --> 11:41.580
Then that's nice of her.
11:43.410 --> 11:44.570
Makio?
11:50.680 --> 11:55.240
Sounds like she chose her words carefully.
11:55.240 --> 11:59.180
"How are you?" "You okay?"
"What's happened since?"
11:59.600 --> 12:02.610
It's hard to give a precise
answer to any of those.
12:03.050 --> 12:08.080
And it probably didn't sit right
to sound overly worried or too casual.
12:08.520 --> 12:13.200
It feels like she tried to convey
those complicated thoughts
12:13.200 --> 12:17.190
with her question: "How are things going?"
12:17.600 --> 12:19.790
That's why it was nice of her.
12:20.220 --> 12:21.920
You should explain as much yourself.
12:21.920 --> 12:24.660
See, this is what I like about you.
12:24.660 --> 12:27.610
Yeesh. Thanks, I guess.
12:28.870 --> 12:32.660
EMIRI: HOW ARE THINGS GOING?
12:32.430 --> 12:34.690
You made this yourself?!
12:34.690 --> 12:37.720
I couldn't sell a plain cake
like this at the store.
12:37.720 --> 12:40.420
So? Did you decide how to respond?
12:40.380 --> 12:44.010
HOW ARE THINGS GOING?
12:40.420 --> 12:44.340
Um... "I'm doing okay," I guess?
12:44.010 --> 12:46.130
I'M DOING OKAY
12:44.340 --> 12:46.110
Nice! That sounds good.
12:46.130 --> 12:50.140
THANKS
12:47.220 --> 12:48.250
Yum.
12:53.520 --> 12:55.110
Thanks for today.
12:55.110 --> 12:56.510
No prob.
12:56.920 --> 13:00.390
Hey, why don't you reach
out to Kasamachi-kun?
13:00.910 --> 13:02.900
About money and stuff.
13:02.900 --> 13:05.110
I mean, that appetite of hers...
13:05.110 --> 13:08.410
It's gotta be a huge hit to the household.
13:08.870 --> 13:10.970
Kasamachi-kun, huh?
13:13.740 --> 13:16.320
Your whole life's about to change.
13:16.740 --> 13:18.160
It's an epoch!
13:18.510 --> 13:20.070
You've got my respect.
13:23.630 --> 13:24.800
All done here.
13:24.800 --> 13:26.010
Thank you.
13:26.420 --> 13:28.010
Well, I should get back to work...
13:28.010 --> 13:29.060
Oh, okay.
13:29.060 --> 13:31.650
Let me know when you want to sleep.
13:32.170 --> 13:33.910
U-Um...
13:35.290 --> 13:39.030
Do you remember what you said
to me after the accident?
13:39.030 --> 13:41.870
That I can be sad if the time comes.
13:42.180 --> 13:44.690
Oh, that.
13:44.690 --> 13:45.580
I wanted to say...
13:47.260 --> 13:48.390
thank you.
13:50.190 --> 13:54.340
I was worried it was weird
of me not to be sad.
13:54.340 --> 13:57.620
So I was really relieved to hear you say that.
13:58.440 --> 14:00.850
I appreciate it, Makio-chan.
14:01.470 --> 14:05.220
How you feel is no one's business but yours.
14:05.980 --> 14:10.700
Whatever you may feel, no one has
the right to shame you for that.
14:11.390 --> 14:12.480
Yeah.
14:12.480 --> 14:15.650
So if I ever do get sad, I'll let you know.
14:15.650 --> 14:18.210
I'm okay for now. Really.
14:19.310 --> 14:22.480
Got it. I'll let you know
if I ever need to as well.
14:23.080 --> 14:25.470
Let's work together from now on.
14:25.470 --> 14:26.470
Yeah.
14:26.470 --> 14:30.420
Oh, but I'm a good-for-nothing downer.
14:30.420 --> 14:32.650
So I'll ask you to go easy on the pressure.
14:32.650 --> 14:34.020
Pressure?
14:34.020 --> 14:35.740
Oh, that kind of pressure!
14:36.140 --> 14:38.480
Like what my mom always did.
14:38.480 --> 14:40.990
"You can't even do this much?"
14:40.990 --> 14:42.370
And stuff like that, right?
14:43.000 --> 14:45.780
Roger that! No pressure, then.
15:02.620 --> 15:04.530
I'm heading out for a bit.
15:04.800 --> 15:07.600
Can you get yourself takeout for dinner?
15:08.400 --> 15:09.440
You look amazing!
15:09.440 --> 15:11.440
It's so different from your usual!
15:11.440 --> 15:12.630
Thanks...
15:21.510 --> 15:23.860
Can I get your signature, Sensei?
15:25.290 --> 15:28.150
Stop it, Kasamachi-kun...
15:28.150 --> 15:31.310
You look displeased, as always.
15:31.310 --> 15:32.510
Been a while.
15:33.500 --> 15:36.070
Sorry for the sudden invite.
15:36.070 --> 15:37.300
All good.
15:37.660 --> 15:41.640
I'd show up anywhere with one call from you.
15:41.640 --> 15:43.230
A coffee, please.
15:43.230 --> 15:44.310
Coming right up.
15:45.000 --> 15:48.060
Hey, so did Ruby die at the end?
15:48.070 --> 15:50.820
FOR KASAMACHI-KUN, THANKS AS ALWAYS.
-MAKIO KODAI
15:48.530 --> 15:53.220
You left that ambiguous,
like she's actually alive.
15:53.220 --> 15:55.680
You really are a keen reader.
15:55.680 --> 15:58.120
I mean, it was a good book.
15:58.710 --> 16:02.230
I'll write more about Ruby
if a sequel gets picked up.
16:02.780 --> 16:04.820
If, huh?
16:05.180 --> 16:07.590
This series isn't selling very well.
16:07.590 --> 16:08.830
I feel bad for them.
16:09.530 --> 16:11.360
The characters, I mean.
16:11.360 --> 16:13.270
Here they are, yet I can't tell their story.
16:13.730 --> 16:16.050
That was a creepy way to put it.
16:16.050 --> 16:18.190
It's not creepy at all.
16:18.190 --> 16:20.240
These characters are like your kids—
16:19.490 --> 16:22.020
Excuse me, can I get a grilled sandwich?
16:22.020 --> 16:22.860
Right away!
16:23.230 --> 16:24.970
Are you even listening to me?
16:26.930 --> 16:29.110
Speaking of kids...
16:29.110 --> 16:30.390
What is she, in middle school?
16:30.390 --> 16:31.500
She's fifteen.
16:33.660 --> 16:34.860
You know...
16:34.860 --> 16:38.180
Don't take this the wrong way.
I'm just saying.
16:38.680 --> 16:43.480
First off, I'm not hoping
to get back together.
16:44.370 --> 16:49.670
But when I heard you were taking
in a kid, I was annoyed.
16:49.670 --> 16:54.650
When we were a thing, you used to talk
about how you never wanted kids.
16:54.650 --> 16:56.510
So I couldn't figure it out.
16:59.250 --> 17:04.320
Anyways, I just realized it hurt
more than I realized.
17:04.640 --> 17:07.550
That's all. End of story.
17:09.410 --> 17:10.440
So?
17:10.440 --> 17:11.460
What?
17:11.460 --> 17:13.320
You wanted to talk finances, right?
17:13.320 --> 17:14.910
Oh, right.
17:15.260 --> 17:18.060
At least until she graduates and lands a job.
17:18.060 --> 17:22.600
But I have no clue what she needs,
or what I can do for her.
17:22.600 --> 17:23.990
Are you moving?
17:23.990 --> 17:26.550
That apartment's gotta be
small for the two of you.
17:26.550 --> 17:30.680
I own it, so... I don't plan
to leave any time soon.
17:31.420 --> 17:35.280
What? You bought it? That apartment?
17:35.280 --> 17:36.230
Yeah.
17:36.230 --> 17:37.570
When?
17:37.570 --> 17:39.380
Six years ago?
17:40.320 --> 17:42.920
That's literally when we were dating!
17:43.200 --> 17:46.710
Well, my series back then just
happened to take off, so...
17:47.270 --> 17:49.190
I had no idea.
17:49.480 --> 17:53.050
You're terrible about sharing
important stuff, you know that?
17:53.420 --> 17:57.570
I never thought my work would sell so well.
17:58.190 --> 18:02.050
It felt like I'd awaken from the dream
if I told anyone.
18:04.740 --> 18:06.330
That's just like you.
18:06.830 --> 18:09.410
I'm glad to see you doing you.
18:12.040 --> 18:14.720
Have you filed a petition
for guardianship yet?
18:14.720 --> 18:16.080
What's that?
18:16.080 --> 18:19.660
You'll need it for the girl to receive
her parents' life insurance.
18:20.080 --> 18:21.780
Wasn't there a copy of the policy?
18:21.780 --> 18:23.490
I don't know.
18:23.490 --> 18:26.260
I haven't been to her house yet.
18:26.260 --> 18:29.270
Then I'd suggest you go and look for it.
18:29.600 --> 18:31.740
What else is there?
18:31.740 --> 18:34.510
She sleeps a lot.
18:35.840 --> 18:39.650
She's up a bit during the day,
but she's asleep otherwise.
18:39.650 --> 18:40.690
All the time.
18:41.370 --> 18:43.120
I don't think she realizes it.
18:44.250 --> 18:47.820
Maybe it's her way of tending her wounds.
18:47.820 --> 18:50.810
To process what happened internally.
18:51.880 --> 18:54.540
If that's the case, is shaking her awake
18:54.540 --> 18:57.820
and forcing her to find closure
the right thing to do?
18:58.720 --> 19:01.030
It scares me.
19:02.380 --> 19:04.520
I still can't believe it.
19:05.200 --> 19:09.470
You view most human interactions
as scary by default.
19:09.930 --> 19:13.610
I bet you were nervous
reaching out to me too.
19:13.610 --> 19:14.650
Hush, you.
19:14.650 --> 19:17.060
And you signed up for this?
19:17.060 --> 19:18.040
Well...
19:18.520 --> 19:21.270
Sure I'm scared. Of course I am.
19:22.070 --> 19:24.280
I mean, dealing with a fifteen-year-old...
19:25.030 --> 19:27.200
At her tender age,
19:28.010 --> 19:33.130
the smallest remark could
change the rest of her life.
19:34.340 --> 19:35.360
It's terrifying.
19:41.480 --> 19:44.680
You may not like hearing this,
19:45.010 --> 19:48.640
but your remark changed my life too, you know?
19:49.210 --> 19:51.630
What did I say?
19:52.180 --> 19:53.440
That's a secret.
19:53.790 --> 19:55.910
You wouldn't remember anyway.
19:56.400 --> 19:57.940
You're always so...
19:58.860 --> 20:00.290
But you're right.
19:59.430 --> 20:00.760
Makio.
20:06.530 --> 20:08.600
I'll be in touch.
20:08.600 --> 20:10.660
I wanna meet her. This girl of yours.
20:11.010 --> 20:12.030
Okay.
20:13.960 --> 20:17.960
You know when Ruby thinks back
on her home in that one scene?
20:17.960 --> 20:19.330
Toward the end?
20:19.330 --> 20:20.400
Yeah.
20:20.400 --> 20:22.040
I really liked that part.
20:22.460 --> 20:23.910
I read it over and over.
20:24.940 --> 20:28.790
Ruby reflected on the
beginning of her journey.
20:30.230 --> 20:35.220
That first step she took back
when she bolted, as if to run away,
20:35.810 --> 20:38.940
was no different than the one she took now:
20:39.710 --> 20:42.110
a step back toward home.
20:43.260 --> 20:47.320
No matter where she was, her footprints
were always headed there.
20:47.320 --> 20:49.130
"Home."
20:50.340 --> 20:53.550
"I'm going home," she thought.
20:54.910 --> 20:59.040
With the next step, Ruby lost her footing.
20:59.040 --> 21:05.170
She clawed at the sky
until she couldn't bear any more.
21:05.840 --> 21:10.660
With grains of sand on her cheek,
she crawled forward like a baby.
21:11.690 --> 21:12.680
"No!"
21:13.070 --> 21:15.170
She tried to yell.
21:15.960 --> 21:18.430
But her voice tangled in her throat.
21:18.860 --> 21:22.620
Not even the sand grains
before her moved any longer.
21:23.450 --> 21:24.640
"Powerless..."
21:25.310 --> 21:28.330
"Was my voice always like this?"
21:29.810 --> 21:33.780
"How did I sound to you?"
21:34.760 --> 21:37.960
"Just when I want to ask, you're not here."
21:38.650 --> 21:41.920
Home was nothing but shelter with a roof—
21:41.110 --> 21:43.270
What are you reading?
21:43.710 --> 21:45.960
Huh? Oh, this book.
21:46.560 --> 21:47.680
Welcome home.
21:48.290 --> 21:49.970
Yeah...
21:50.240 --> 21:51.840
What's that face for?
21:52.290 --> 21:53.470
Fine, I'll read it later.
21:57.610 --> 21:58.720
Asa.
22:01.390 --> 22:05.450
Next week, let's go through
your stuff at home.
22:07.990 --> 22:09.990
"HOME. I'M GOING HOME."
