00:00.860 --> 00:03.990
I've been asking Chicchi for advice
since she's doing science.
00:03.990 --> 00:06.350
Yeah, I'm gonna be a doctor.
00:06.350 --> 00:07.620
Wow.
00:07.620 --> 00:09.660
Since both my parents are doctors and all.
00:09.080 --> 00:10.380
Have you seen the news?
00:10.380 --> 00:13.480
About the admission fraud
at that medical school.
00:14.010 --> 00:15.760
Uniform Point Deductions for Female Applicants:
Nitto Medical University Accused of Arbitrary Manipulation
00:14.710 --> 00:18.710
About the university docking
points from female applicants?
00:18.710 --> 00:20.580
That makes me so mad!
00:20.580 --> 00:23.010
Anyone would lose hope.
00:23.350 --> 00:27.240
Being denied admission just
because you're a girl? That sucks.
00:28.800 --> 00:30.190
I'll never let it go...
00:30.770 --> 00:32.750
Never! Not ever!
00:33.110 --> 00:35.520
Anyways, now you know what happened.
00:36.380 --> 00:38.100
I think it broke her.
00:38.100 --> 00:40.340
She hasn't been to school since.
00:41.030 --> 00:45.790
Kant argued that it's rational for humans
00:45.790 --> 00:49.450
to act upon duty,
calling it "true freedom."
00:51.290 --> 00:53.750
Please stand behind the yellow line.
01:03.470 --> 01:09.980
Journal with Witch
01:11.060 --> 01:15.940
Episode 13\h\h\h\hMorning Is Here
01:11.410 --> 01:13.870
Chiyo-chan, it's been a while.
01:14.230 --> 01:16.120
I know. I've missed a lot of school.
01:17.690 --> 01:18.610
You okay?
01:20.230 --> 01:22.620
Yeah, I am. I'm okay.
01:22.620 --> 01:27.430
Actually, not really. But it's fine.
01:29.540 --> 01:30.980
What's that?
01:30.980 --> 01:32.390
Oh, this?
01:32.630 --> 01:34.880
Three-Year Journal
01:32.830 --> 01:34.870
It's my mom's journal.
01:34.870 --> 01:36.940
Oh... You okay?
01:39.160 --> 01:40.630
That's funny.
01:40.630 --> 01:44.130
We both just asked each
other if we're okay.
01:45.330 --> 01:47.750
I mean, are we okay?
01:51.220 --> 01:54.290
So, what's in that journal anyway?
01:54.810 --> 01:56.290
Um...
01:56.700 --> 01:58.750
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
01:58.750 --> 02:04.020
I guess it's mostly about
how important I am?
02:04.020 --> 02:06.160
It's, like, mainly stuff she wrote to me.
02:06.160 --> 02:07.470
Huh.
02:07.470 --> 02:11.160
But honestly, it kinda feels
like I'm being lectured.
02:11.160 --> 02:12.460
I've gotten a bit tired of it.
02:14.280 --> 02:16.080
I get that.
02:14.920 --> 02:17.050
Three-Year Journal
02:16.500 --> 02:19.850
It can be hard to believe
stuff people tell you.
02:20.770 --> 02:23.630
It could be a lie.
02:24.050 --> 02:25.520
How would I know?
02:26.050 --> 02:28.890
Doors will open on the left.
02:28.490 --> 02:33.400
My concerns are nothing
compared to yours.
02:35.810 --> 02:38.830
I don't think that's true.
02:39.210 --> 02:42.060
Everyone's problems matter.
02:42.060 --> 02:43.820
Concerns don't have a hierarchy, huh?
02:44.700 --> 02:46.010
I wonder.
02:57.740 --> 02:59.080
Tomorrow...
03:00.180 --> 03:03.840
I'll be singing. In the school concourse.
03:04.160 --> 03:07.030
For the band, right? That's great.
03:08.050 --> 03:11.840
I was hoping, Chiyo-chan...
that you'd come listen.
03:12.380 --> 03:14.040
How come?
03:14.880 --> 03:16.350
Just 'cause.
03:18.940 --> 03:21.100
Just 'cause, huh?
03:21.900 --> 03:25.000
Takumi, can I ask you a rude question?
03:26.140 --> 03:30.890
Did you think your life was over?
03:39.880 --> 03:41.080
I don't think that!
03:41.920 --> 03:43.230
It's not over!
03:43.930 --> 03:45.330
Because I'm alive!
03:48.140 --> 03:49.630
You're tough.
03:50.970 --> 03:53.650
Chiyo-chan... Ugh!
03:54.030 --> 03:57.370
Please step back
and tap the panel again.
03:55.660 --> 03:57.210
Well, I'll be going.
03:57.210 --> 03:58.950
Huh? Wait, why?
03:58.950 --> 04:01.050
No! Don't go!
04:01.050 --> 04:02.050
Chiyo-chan!
04:02.050 --> 04:03.800
Chiyo-chicchi!
04:05.740 --> 04:07.650
Hey, promise you'll come?
04:08.850 --> 04:10.380
I'll stop by if I can.
04:10.380 --> 04:15.070
Isn't this where we're supposed to,
like, shake on it or something?
04:16.520 --> 04:17.800
Morning!
04:17.800 --> 04:19.920
Morning. You're late.
04:19.920 --> 04:20.810
Yup.
04:20.810 --> 04:22.320
Oh, Morimoto-san...
04:22.320 --> 04:23.540
Morning.
04:23.540 --> 04:25.450
Oh my gosh, Chiyo!
04:25.450 --> 04:26.510
Sup?
04:26.510 --> 04:28.010
What, that's it?
04:30.150 --> 04:31.360
Morimoto.
04:32.730 --> 04:34.350
Thanks for messaging me.
04:34.770 --> 04:37.310
Sorry I held on to this so long.
04:36.950 --> 04:39.070
You think they're dating?
04:37.310 --> 04:40.940
It's fine. Sorry I was gone for so long.
04:39.070 --> 04:40.950
Nah, I doubt it.
04:40.940 --> 04:46.070
Listen, I found this petition
online last night.
04:40.950 --> 04:43.750
But Togo-kun's practically in tears.
04:43.750 --> 04:49.860
He's nice, but it's not like
Togo can change the world.
04:46.070 --> 04:48.930
I'm thinking about sharing
it with my friends too.
04:48.930 --> 04:51.660
It's not right to make this
a women's-only issue.
04:49.860 --> 04:51.420
That's true.
04:57.260 --> 04:59.220
I'm home!
04:59.220 --> 05:00.560
Welcome back.
05:05.220 --> 05:07.090
What Color Is a Crescent Moon Onion in Love?
05:05.220 --> 05:07.090
Makio
Koudai
05:05.840 --> 05:07.090
Is that your new book?
05:07.370 --> 05:09.910
Yup. They want signed copies.
05:09.910 --> 05:11.590
Wow, cool.
05:11.590 --> 05:13.650
What kind of fan wants an autograph?
05:13.650 --> 05:15.420
There you go again...
05:16.170 --> 05:21.470
Say, Makio-chan, who did you
write that novel for?
05:23.960 --> 05:25.500
Why are you making that face?
05:25.870 --> 05:29.820
You know, I get asked
that in interviews too.
05:29.820 --> 05:32.510
Were you really expecting an answer?
05:32.510 --> 05:33.450
Huh?
05:33.930 --> 05:37.860
I swear, everyone must be a little too
fixated on their own fantasies.
05:37.860 --> 05:39.700
Huh? What do you mean?
05:39.700 --> 05:42.760
I don't write for anyone else.
05:43.130 --> 05:47.760
I mean, does anyone actually
spend their time for the sake of others?
05:48.060 --> 05:50.040
Novelist or otherwise.
05:51.000 --> 05:54.660
But then... what about you
deciding to take me in?
05:55.010 --> 05:58.240
Wasn't that for my sake?
05:58.240 --> 06:02.160
Th-That's... different.
06:02.160 --> 06:05.400
It wasn't for you. No, I mean...
06:05.400 --> 06:08.640
If it worked out
in your favor, then great.
06:09.000 --> 06:11.800
But I wasn't trying
to be selfless or anything.
06:11.800 --> 06:15.080
I just couldn't stand what was
happening before my eyes.
06:15.080 --> 06:17.700
Why are you scrambling to make excuses?
06:17.700 --> 06:21.210
Jeez, kid... You've become pretty defiant.
06:21.210 --> 06:22.850
"Kid"?
06:23.310 --> 06:27.030
I'm not saying this
to break your spirit, but...
06:28.350 --> 06:30.930
No matter what you do for others,
06:30.930 --> 06:35.410
it's very unlikely you'll ever
change their heart or actions.
06:36.320 --> 06:39.440
Most of your efforts won't bear fruit,
06:40.010 --> 06:43.420
let alone earn acknowledgment
or gratitude.
06:45.240 --> 06:47.310
The world isn't so easily changed.
06:48.610 --> 06:50.410
You should keep that in mind.
06:51.060 --> 06:55.830
For a professional novelist,
you're pretty pessimistic.
06:57.120 --> 06:59.890
Doesn't that just make me more credible?
07:00.610 --> 07:02.330
Granted, I do think...
07:02.330 --> 07:07.470
that acting when you know it's futile
is what makes it so precious.
07:07.840 --> 07:09.920
At least, that's my take.
07:11.900 --> 07:15.070
Welp, time to start making dinner.
07:16.610 --> 07:19.070
You're being complicated again.
07:22.340 --> 07:24.600
Besides, we might change jobs again.
07:24.600 --> 07:26.350
So true.
07:26.350 --> 07:28.770
Man, time flies.
07:28.770 --> 07:30.790
I can't believe it's been ten years.
07:33.220 --> 07:35.240
Oh yeah. By the way, Asa...
07:40.770 --> 07:42.150
The sun's out.
07:45.250 --> 07:48.780
Ugh... What if I screw up?
07:48.780 --> 07:50.310
This again?
07:50.780 --> 07:53.250
It's all about self-affirmation.
07:53.250 --> 07:56.140
Tell yourself everything will be fine.
07:56.140 --> 07:58.760
Your brain will wire itself that way.
07:59.880 --> 08:04.270
Although, I can't say I
recommend that approach.
08:04.270 --> 08:06.020
Why not?
08:06.020 --> 08:07.340
Hmm?
08:07.950 --> 08:13.100
In my line of work, there are novelists
who search for themselves on the internet.
08:13.100 --> 08:14.790
Wait, which type are you, Makio-chan?
08:14.790 --> 08:15.890
That's a secret.
08:15.890 --> 08:17.430
Aw!
08:17.430 --> 08:18.530
Anyway, listen...
08:18.840 --> 08:21.530
Writing novels and having
readers is one thing.
08:21.530 --> 08:24.830
But being disliked for your
work is totally different.
08:25.370 --> 08:29.820
Even if it's enough for you just to be
able make a living writing at first,
08:29.820 --> 08:34.150
eventually you can get greedy
and want to be liked on top of that.
08:34.620 --> 08:39.790
It might be lame, but getting
hurt constantly wears you down.
08:39.790 --> 08:43.430
So instead, you affirm and
consciously desensitize yourself.
08:43.430 --> 08:44.530
Desensitize?
08:47.350 --> 08:50.550
Dull your senses and numb your feelings.
08:51.290 --> 08:56.350
After a while, you numb yourself
enough that it dulls your heart.
08:56.350 --> 09:00.820
Then your heart is moved by nothing,
neither good nor bad.
09:01.260 --> 09:05.390
Unfortunately, I don't feel sad at all.
09:07.490 --> 09:11.540
So in that sense... I don't
want that to happen to you.
09:11.540 --> 09:15.520
But maybe that's just me projecting
my fantasies onto you.
09:15.520 --> 09:18.710
Just because you're a child,
you don't need to be all pure.
09:19.840 --> 09:21.920
Can you speak Japanese?
09:23.030 --> 09:24.810
I've noticed something, Makio-chan.
09:24.810 --> 09:28.050
You only use difficult words
when you're talking to me.
09:28.380 --> 09:31.450
You're much more casual with your friends.
09:31.450 --> 09:35.120
Huh... I don't mean to be that way.
09:35.120 --> 09:40.530
But I guess maybe it's so that
I don't rub off on you.
09:41.160 --> 09:47.550
I wonder how long I'll be able to remember
these ordinary moments between us.
09:48.830 --> 09:51.590
Actually, that's me pushing
my own agenda too.
09:51.590 --> 09:54.330
Hmm... It's not like I'm
condescending to you.
09:54.330 --> 09:56.600
Huh? I don't follow.
09:56.600 --> 09:58.680
Think of a better explanation.
09:58.680 --> 10:01.350
You're becoming quite a smart aleck.
10:01.350 --> 10:03.250
Which is a good thing in my book.
10:03.680 --> 10:06.250
What? What do you mean?
10:06.250 --> 10:09.470
That question didn't
cross my mind back then.
10:09.470 --> 10:12.920
Hmm... I'll think about it.
10:12.920 --> 10:14.620
Please and thank you.
10:14.620 --> 10:17.480
Just as we might eat
whatever is served to us,
10:17.480 --> 10:22.020
I enjoyed each moment
without giving it much thought.
10:24.220 --> 10:28.400
I wonder when I began looking
back on those days so dearly...
10:30.750 --> 10:32.760
I'm off!
10:32.760 --> 10:34.000
Your show...
10:34.000 --> 10:36.500
This concert of yours... Good luck.
10:37.110 --> 10:39.570
How do I stop feeling so nervous?
10:40.240 --> 10:41.590
Don't think.
10:41.590 --> 10:42.520
Huh?
10:42.810 --> 10:45.550
Didn't you tell me to think
harder the other day?
10:45.550 --> 10:50.630
Yeah. You think and think,
and finally, you stop.
10:51.860 --> 10:54.340
Your advice never comes in handy.
10:55.020 --> 10:56.560
I'm off!
10:56.560 --> 10:57.940
Have a good day.
11:09.000 --> 11:12.000
Journal with Witch
11:15.080 --> 11:16.910
Did you watch that stream yesterday?
11:16.910 --> 11:19.390
Sure did. That was crazy.
11:21.430 --> 11:24.200
Testing, testing! Mic test, mic test!
11:24.200 --> 11:24.930
What's that?
11:25.230 --> 11:29.300
The band club is performing, apparently.
11:25.410 --> 11:26.670
Hi, we're the band club!
11:29.300 --> 11:30.400
Huh.
11:30.400 --> 11:31.960
Who's up next?
11:34.210 --> 11:36.310
I'm still not convinced.
11:36.650 --> 11:38.360
At least tell me why.
11:38.360 --> 11:40.360
Then I can give up on you.
11:41.930 --> 11:43.330
Seriously?
11:44.040 --> 11:46.080
I have to explain it to you?
11:47.230 --> 11:49.810
Emiri! It's about to start!
11:49.810 --> 11:50.700
See ya.
11:51.300 --> 11:53.720
I'm getting super nervous.
11:53.720 --> 11:55.590
What are you, her mom?
11:56.410 --> 11:58.460
Did you eat lunch early as planned?
11:58.460 --> 12:00.000
I did...
12:00.000 --> 12:02.470
Oh man, nerves?
12:03.480 --> 12:06.140
You're fine. Do it just like we practiced.
12:06.140 --> 12:07.460
I'll cover for you either way.
12:07.810 --> 12:10.880
Takumi, you were great at your audition.
12:11.310 --> 12:13.700
You said you're ready
to be the type to stand out.
12:14.280 --> 12:17.670
Any other goals? For today, I mean?
12:18.150 --> 12:20.660
Goals...
12:21.430 --> 12:23.730
No matter what you do for others,
12:24.340 --> 12:28.780
it's very unlikely you'll ever
change their heart or actions.
12:29.600 --> 12:32.610
Most of your efforts won't bear fruit.
12:33.530 --> 12:35.110
Wanna know mine?
12:35.110 --> 12:38.010
To recruit ten new members!
12:38.010 --> 12:39.550
Sounds good.
12:39.550 --> 12:41.130
Hey, there they are!
12:41.130 --> 12:43.200
You got this, Takumi.
12:43.200 --> 12:44.630
Good luck, Asa-chan!
12:46.740 --> 12:48.440
Counting on you, boss!
12:48.440 --> 12:50.630
Yeah, we're good.
12:51.140 --> 12:52.260
I'm filming!
12:59.660 --> 13:02.580
Okay, let's do this nice and relaxed.
13:02.580 --> 13:04.750
Senpai, you're the coolest!
13:08.710 --> 13:10.100
Think.
13:11.500 --> 13:12.830
And think.
13:13.910 --> 13:15.440
And think.
13:17.990 --> 13:19.350
And then stop.
13:24.410 --> 13:25.460
Asa.
13:26.480 --> 13:28.520
Be whoever you want to be.
13:29.010 --> 13:32.490
Well, just do what you want to do.
13:32.490 --> 13:34.790
Then I'll pick for you.
13:34.790 --> 13:37.380
As long as it's within reason, I guess.
13:38.000 --> 13:41.640
You've got to learn how
to make choices on your own.
13:41.640 --> 13:44.470
Make sure your mother won't scold you.
13:44.850 --> 13:47.560
What matters is that you did your best.
13:47.560 --> 13:51.710
I guess... you stood out.
13:51.710 --> 13:54.460
It's too bad you didn't win.
14:01.840 --> 14:07.560
Takumi, did you think your life was over?
14:11.500 --> 14:16.470
My aunt's a novelist, my parents
are dead, and I've got it so hard!
14:16.470 --> 14:18.980
I might as well struggle.
14:19.320 --> 14:23.350
I should have all the pieces to
write some deep lyrics, so why...
14:23.350 --> 14:26.860
Acting when you know
it's futile is what...
14:27.200 --> 14:29.350
So why am I still so plain?!
14:29.930 --> 14:33.870
So in that sense... I don't
want that to happen to you.
14:34.110 --> 14:37.860
No! I want to be who I want to be!
14:45.870 --> 14:47.530
Oki-senpai...
14:47.530 --> 14:48.220
Hmm?
14:48.950 --> 14:54.630
My goal is to sing to my
friend who's feeling down
14:55.020 --> 14:58.320
so she can feel better.
15:00.680 --> 15:01.860
Love that.
15:02.380 --> 15:06.260
Okay, then are we ready to roll?
15:21.820 --> 15:26.560
When I awoke from my slumber,
15:26.560 --> 15:31.460
I found myself alone,
standing on an open page.
15:31.460 --> 15:34.890
No matter where I look, I can't see.
15:34.890 --> 15:39.480
There's no path nor exit.
15:38.950 --> 15:44.570
Back then, I hadn't a clue what
I myself would never let go of.
15:40.640 --> 15:45.390
That's when I heard that sound...
15:44.570 --> 15:48.320
Nor did I have any concept
of what that despair might look like.
15:45.390 --> 15:50.400
The sound of your voice calling my name.
15:49.180 --> 15:52.860
But still, as silly as it may be...
15:50.400 --> 15:58.880
So I walked, with these
fumbling words of mine.
15:52.860 --> 15:56.470
I thought that maybe, just maybe...
15:54.800 --> 15:56.640
She's so good!
15:56.470 --> 15:59.320
my small act could change the world.
15:56.640 --> 15:57.900
We're the band club!
15:58.880 --> 16:03.120
It may not be in perfect rhythm,
16:01.190 --> 16:07.710
That, say, in ten years' time,
it would be enough for me...
16:03.120 --> 16:08.390
but when I hum this tune,
I hope you listen.
16:08.390 --> 16:13.030
The soaring sound of the
world softening itself...
16:13.030 --> 16:15.490
It soars across the air.
16:15.490 --> 16:17.690
Morning is here.
16:17.690 --> 16:22.520
I wave to you, standing in the
future looking back at me.
16:22.520 --> 16:26.980
And so I paddle your way, paddle your way.
16:27.270 --> 16:31.730
Where shall I go? Anywhere I long...
16:32.530 --> 16:33.730
...to move...
16:34.470 --> 16:35.730
...to move...
16:36.340 --> 16:37.740
...to move...
16:39.000 --> 16:40.370
...the world!
16:48.770 --> 16:50.390
Wow...
16:50.760 --> 16:52.790
That was pretty cool.
16:53.850 --> 16:55.750
I should send this to Makio-san.
16:55.750 --> 16:56.980
Her aunt?
16:56.980 --> 16:57.860
Yup, yup!
16:59.010 --> 17:03.110
There isn't a single thing in the world
that's completely irrelevant to you.
16:59.090 --> 17:03.460
Hi, everyone! We're the band club!
17:03.760 --> 17:08.120
Is this what she meant?
17:04.250 --> 17:06.940
We'll be playing five more songs.
17:08.050 --> 17:11.360
So I hope you stick around!
17:11.980 --> 17:13.980
Ready for the next number?
17:15.210 --> 17:16.400
I'm not sure.
17:16.790 --> 17:17.920
Let's go watch.
17:19.380 --> 17:22.270
But even if it's ten years from now...
17:23.240 --> 17:26.550
I hope I've reached somebody, anybody here.
17:27.390 --> 17:28.930
Even for a moment.
17:36.470 --> 17:39.360
I wish I could change the world...
17:43.390 --> 17:44.510
Reach...
17:46.440 --> 17:47.580
Reach...
17:49.100 --> 17:50.320
Reach!
17:52.470 --> 17:53.690
Reach them!
18:05.340 --> 18:07.700
That's it from us! We're the band club!
18:07.700 --> 18:11.550
We're playing again after
school and tomorrow.
18:11.550 --> 18:14.320
Feel free to stop by practice too!
18:16.050 --> 18:17.170
Takumi.
18:18.530 --> 18:19.760
Over here.
18:20.260 --> 18:22.950
Oh, Chiyo-chan!
18:22.950 --> 18:24.240
Good job.
18:25.530 --> 18:27.070
I witness you.
18:29.350 --> 18:30.860
What was that?
18:31.850 --> 18:33.550
That was so cool!
18:38.180 --> 18:41.360
She's growing up so naturally.
18:42.170 --> 18:46.130
Each day is such a battle,
but so fleeting at the same time.
18:47.650 --> 18:53.490
To think she's done this for fifteen
years, from such a fragile age...
18:55.170 --> 18:57.990
Sis, that's pretty admirable.
19:04.390 --> 19:07.740
Believe it or not,
one thing led to another
19:07.740 --> 19:11.940
and I've been living with something
akin to a dog for a year now.
19:14.460 --> 19:17.150
I'd long contemplated
welcoming a new member,
19:17.150 --> 19:20.960
but for better or worse,
this dog fell into my lap one day.
19:22.150 --> 19:26.400
Everything feels so new that both me
and the dog find ourselves perplexed.
19:27.830 --> 19:31.460
Sometimes, the dog brings its
doggy friend over to the house.
19:32.360 --> 19:36.660
As someone who's never had a pack,
I'm constantly taken aback by the company.
19:38.360 --> 19:42.640
It's strange to have another
creature in your territory,
19:42.640 --> 19:46.590
especially a developing creature
with its own will and intelligence.
19:48.400 --> 19:52.060
With packs come the potential
for both safety and danger.
19:52.930 --> 19:57.520
Perhaps like me, you don't
acclimate well with any pack.
19:58.200 --> 20:02.690
Or rather, perhaps you think
it's noble to spend your life
20:02.690 --> 20:04.430
searching for a pack that suits you.
20:02.690 --> 20:03.720
The vocalist was so cool. I want to be able to sing like her too!
20:02.690 --> 20:06.700
Club Application
20:03.720 --> 20:06.700
The vocalist was so cool. I want to be able to sing like her too!
20:06.080 --> 20:10.750
You may feel lonely no matter
what pack you belong to.
20:11.450 --> 20:15.110
Or you may feel most at peace
with no company at all.
20:16.280 --> 20:19.210
The dog in question is still
a pup, so who's to say?
20:20.960 --> 20:25.090
Keeping in line with my analogy,
the dog is maybe two or three years old.
20:25.090 --> 20:29.470
To influence a pup of such
young age terrifies me.
20:31.010 --> 20:34.880
Still, referring to this member
as "the dog" doesn't sit right.
20:35.720 --> 20:38.970
So let's call it "Ashita."
20:40.220 --> 20:46.230
I'll end today's entry with a beautiful
poem: "Pippa's Song (Haru no Ashita)."

21:18.270 --> 21:21.300

21:18.270 --> 21:21.300
I'll pick something up at the bakery
and some sausages
21:21.270 --> 21:22.800
Oh, and I'll whip up some soup with tomatoes
21:21.300 --> 21:22.800
What's for dinner?
21:21.300 --> 21:22.800
I'll pick something up at the bakery

21:22.770 --> 21:23.480

What was that for?
22:05.230 --> 22:07.090
Just snapping a beauty's profile.
22:08.640 --> 22:10.090
You idiot.
22:11.040 --> 22:12.320
Good night.
22:13.400 --> 22:16.370
Good night. See you tomorrow.
22:17.560 --> 22:19.380
See you tomorrow.
22:25.610 --> 22:27.840
Oh yeah, by the way...
22:27.840 --> 22:30.260
Remember when you sang
in the school concourse?
22:30.260 --> 22:32.050
Was that ten years ago now?
22:32.050 --> 22:34.350
No, don't remind me. How embarrassing.
22:34.350 --> 22:35.980
I can't believe you remember.
22:35.980 --> 22:37.990
Well, yeah, it was awesome.
22:37.990 --> 22:40.350
Ayaka and everyone was in awe of you too.
22:40.350 --> 22:42.500
I still have the video.
22:42.500 --> 22:43.510
What?!
22:44.490 --> 22:46.100
Yikes!
22:46.100 --> 22:48.220
Didn't this get you
a bunch of new members?
22:50.360 --> 22:52.910
Yeah. Makio-chan complimented
me on my singing too.
22:52.910 --> 22:55.370
Oh, how's Makio-san doing?
22:55.370 --> 22:56.400
Fine, I think.
22:56.400 --> 22:59.310
Aw, man, I'm getting nostalgic.
22:59.690 --> 23:01.080
Hey, should we go visit her?
23:01.080 --> 23:02.240
Let's see how she's doing.
23:02.240 --> 23:03.660
Seriously?
23:04.280 --> 23:06.420
You mean right now?
23:06.420 --> 23:09.680
Come on, I wanna see her.
Give her a call!
23:09.680 --> 23:11.430
I dunno if she'll answer.
23:11.920 --> 23:13.880
She might be a zombie
from deadlines again.
23:14.980 --> 23:16.480
Like always.
23:16.920 --> 23:19.040
Hey, we should buy her some
beer on the way over.
23:19.040 --> 23:19.680
Sure.
23:21.550 --> 23:23.230
Hey, Makio-chan?
23:23.230 --> 23:25.260
I was just wondering if...
23:25.770 --> 23:29.120
What? I haven't even said anything yet.
23:29.760 --> 23:31.350
Did I say that?
23:31.350 --> 23:32.580
Hi, Makio-san!
23:32.580 --> 23:34.390
We're coming over!
23:33.190 --> 23:35.230
Hey, now! Come on!
23:35.910 --> 23:37.950
See you in a bit!
