<b>Five Years Ago

00:14.140 --> 00:17.620

our own little tradition.

00:17.620 --> 00:21.710
Thank god. I'd rather be here 
than with my relatives.

00:21.710 --> 00:23.150
Same.

00:23.150 --> 00:25.200
Kotoko, pace yourself now.

00:25.200 --> 00:27.600
I'm just getting started.

00:27.600 --> 00:29.230
Oh, this looks good!

00:29.230 --> 00:30.410
I'm your biggest fan!

00:30.410 --> 00:31.190
Whose?

00:31.190 --> 00:32.180
Oysters.

00:33.450 --> 00:36.650
Makio, you haven't been home 
for New Year's in forever.

00:36.650 --> 00:39.160
Yeah, even outside of New Year's.

00:39.160 --> 00:42.790
My older sister's there
 with her kid a lot.

00:43.850 --> 00:48.680
Wait, what about your guy? 
That Kasamachi fella.

00:48.680 --> 00:50.500
Oh, yeah. We split up.

00:50.500 --> 00:52.470
What? No way.

00:52.470 --> 00:54.420
Really? Why?

00:58.190 --> 00:58.950
Huh?

00:58.950 --> 01:00.670
I get you.

01:02.080 --> 01:03.430
Uh-huh, uh-huh.

01:03.430 --> 01:05.670
Yeah, right. That was all gibberish.

01:06.060 --> 01:09.070
I dunno. He was too perfect. 
It was draining.

01:09.070 --> 01:11.660
What? Like he'd nitpick you about things?

01:11.660 --> 01:12.670
No, never.

01:13.050 --> 01:17.070
I just felt stupid and got tired.

01:17.550 --> 01:19.320
Be more specific.

01:19.770 --> 01:21.840
I need more drinks first.

01:22.570 --> 01:25.570
C'mon, gang! It's New Year's!

01:25.570 --> 01:27.720
Doesn't anyone have any juicy updates?

01:27.720 --> 01:28.590
Nope.

01:28.590 --> 01:32.320
Me neither! I'm never 
falling in love again.

01:32.320 --> 01:35.090
What? You're not? Like ever?

01:35.090 --> 01:36.220
Never ever.

01:36.680 --> 01:38.720
You mean it's set in stone?

01:38.720 --> 01:41.100
Yup, I decided recently.

01:41.100 --> 01:42.730
Rather, I had an epiphany.

01:42.730 --> 01:44.960
Oh man, an epiphany?

01:44.960 --> 01:46.860
That's right.

01:46.860 --> 01:50.130
Now everything in the past makes sense.

01:50.130 --> 01:51.530
All crystal clear?

01:51.530 --> 01:52.770
It is.

01:51.840 --> 01:55.600
Yes. She seemed willing to go today, so...

After all, she has to process
things for herself.

04:10.360 --> 04:12.640
Oh, Asa-chan!

04:12.640 --> 04:14.540
She's finally back.

04:14.540 --> 04:17.050
My bad. It's been a while.

04:17.050 --> 04:20.290
Hey, Takumi-san, I heard 
you caught a nasty cold.

04:20.290 --> 04:22.790
Yeah. Knocked me out for ten days.

04:22.790 --> 04:25.320
I wish I could have ten days off!

The job fell on us first-years
 without a place in the band.

04:32.580 --> 04:36.560
Nothing's changed for us 
since the school festival.

04:41.330 --> 04:42.220
Is that...

04:43.140 --> 04:44.700
Mimori-chan?

04:44.700 --> 04:47.290
Yeah, she got picked while you were out.

04:47.290 --> 04:50.070
She's debuting with the second-year band.

04:50.070 --> 04:51.410
What?!

04:51.410 --> 04:53.440
Well, she's good, you know?

04:53.440 --> 04:55.080
And she's got stage presence.

04:55.080 --> 05:01.010
We either have to get really good at
 playing or write our own original songs.

05:01.010 --> 05:03.080
Those are they only ways to snag a spot.

05:03.080 --> 05:04.460
Original songs...

05:04.460 --> 05:08.470
They get priority as a rule, remember?

05:08.470 --> 05:10.660
Okay, wanna do a run-through?

05:10.660 --> 05:11.980
Yes, please.

like to talk about?

05:37.400 --> 05:38.870
Uh...

05:40.020 --> 05:41.720
I don't know.

05:41.720 --> 05:43.380
It could be anything.

05:44.080 --> 05:46.500
What do people usually talk about?

05:46.850 --> 05:50.340
Anything at all. There's no right answer.

05:54.550 --> 05:57.470
<i>It's not fair. Screw this.</i>

05:59.160 --> 06:03.670
Is that something I'm supposed
 to come up with?

06:04.950 --> 06:07.210
What's counseling good for, anyway?

06:07.210 --> 06:09.010
She's like, "Talk about anything."

06:09.010 --> 06:10.780
I couldn't come up with anything.

06:11.050 --> 06:13.260
Probably because your
 head's always empty.

06:14.250 --> 06:15.240
Shaddup!

06:17.180 --> 06:19.070
Counseling, huh?

06:19.510 --> 06:22.800
A guy from cram school told me 
he goes just to chat.

06:22.800 --> 06:24.770
Apparently, he doesn't go to school much.

06:24.770 --> 06:25.900
Huh...

06:26.290 --> 06:29.020
Wait, who's this guy?

06:28.390 --> 06:30.610
There you go again. So annoying.

06:30.610 --> 06:31.680
Forget it!

06:31.680 --> 06:32.910
Come on, spill!

06:32.910 --> 06:33.680
Is he your boyfriend?

06:33.680 --> 06:35.190
You have one now?

06:35.190 --> 06:36.430
Get off my case!

06:36.430 --> 06:38.460
I'm not talking romance with you anymore.

06:38.460 --> 06:40.310
What? Why? How come? Tell me!

06:40.740 --> 06:42.110
Because you're annoying.

06:47.770 --> 06:49.120
Any kind?

06:49.120 --> 06:50.310
Is that Makio-san?

06:50.310 --> 06:53.720
Yeah, she's been totally 
zoned out recently.

06:53.720 --> 06:55.350
She's wiped most of the time.

06:56.070 --> 06:58.120
It's because of work, I guess.

06:58.120 --> 07:01.460
Really? Is being a novelist that hard?

06:58.830 --> 07:02.580
Got nothing in the tank.
Can't do anything else.

07:01.330 --> 07:02.580
Get whatever meat you want.

07:01.460 --> 07:02.580
Who knows?

07:03.510 --> 07:05.930
But she gets to do something she loves.

07:05.930 --> 07:08.010
She even day drinks sometimes.

07:08.010 --> 07:09.240
Seriously?

07:10.230 --> 07:13.010
I hope I get to do something I like too.

07:13.010 --> 07:14.250
Like what?

07:14.890 --> 07:17.770
I dunno. It's impossible to know, right?

07:17.770 --> 07:20.690
Yeah. I wish someone would 
just choose for me.

07:20.690 --> 07:23.630
Then it wouldn't be something you love.

07:24.420 --> 07:28.230
But I don't know what I'm good at.

07:28.230 --> 07:34.640
<b>Seize your dreams with your talents</b>

Us first-years are all 
writing lyrics and...

08:05.430 --> 08:06.880
Lyrics?

08:06.880 --> 08:07.990
For the band.

08:07.990 --> 08:10.820
Oh. What about the song?

08:10.820 --> 08:12.180
No song yet.

08:12.630 --> 08:14.310
We're starting with lyrics.

08:14.830 --> 08:16.960
You mean I can look?

08:16.960 --> 08:18.610
Yeah, lemme know what you think.

08:19.070 --> 08:21.820
Okay. Let's see here...

08:24.260 --> 08:29.130
There's this rule that people who write 
songs get priority to perform on stage.

08:29.610 --> 08:33.570
I mean, I only started it today, 
so I doubt it's good, but...

08:34.800 --> 08:35.720
Well?

08:36.620 --> 08:38.210
Um...

08:38.590 --> 08:43.770
Yeah. Wow... Okay...

08:46.110 --> 08:47.710
What's with that reaction?!

08:47.710 --> 08:51.590
Er, nothing. It's just so... 
young and fresh.

Wait, is this your first time
 writing lyrics?

08:54.110 --> 08:55.680
You're totally weirded out!

08:55.680 --> 08:57.640
Hang on. Am I embarrassing myself?

08:57.640 --> 09:00.490
Don't tell me I'll never live this down!

09:00.490 --> 09:03.050
No, don't worry about stuff like that.

09:03.050 --> 09:05.620
Now's the time to write 
as much as you can.

09:06.040 --> 09:07.580
I'm being serious when I say that.

09:07.580 --> 09:09.220
So I <i>am</i> embarrassing myself!

What?

09:15.760 --> 09:17.610
Okay...

09:17.610 --> 09:20.310
First off, the main subject is unclear.

09:20.310 --> 09:21.810
It's better to focus on one topic.

09:22.220 --> 09:24.970
The first half is about small details,

09:24.970 --> 09:29.150
so you could expand on that in the 
bridge to drive home your point.

09:29.730 --> 09:34.020
And overall, your expressions 
are somewhat vague, so—

09:34.020 --> 09:35.650
Not like that!

09:35.650 --> 09:36.150
Huh?

09:39.620 --> 09:41.660
Um...

09:41.660 --> 09:45.730
What if you concentrate on what 
you want to say most?

09:51.310 --> 09:53.900
I don't have anything I want to say.

09:53.900 --> 09:57.080
O-Oh, okay...

09:58.430 --> 10:00.680
What else? Any other advice?

10:00.680 --> 10:01.760
What?

10:02.650 --> 10:05.190
Hmm, well...

10:06.100 --> 10:09.310
Write with the intent to kill.

10:10.920 --> 10:15.190
Strike, forge, and polish 
like your life is on the line.

10:16.210 --> 10:17.950
And stake your life on the kill.

10:20.340 --> 10:23.830
That's what it means to write.

10:26.150 --> 10:27.330
What gives?

10:29.250 --> 10:31.960
How come you always talk weird like that?

10:34.930 --> 10:36.710
It's like you're from another country.

10:38.040 --> 10:39.890
Okay, then...

10:39.890 --> 10:41.790
Can I have that back now?

10:41.790 --> 10:43.970
Actually, can I keep it?

10:43.970 --> 10:45.980
What? Why?

10:45.980 --> 10:47.770
It gives me strength.

10:47.770 --> 10:49.920
Oh! It needs more vocabulary!

10:49.920 --> 10:50.970

12:38.590 --> 12:40.300
Did you finish those ten lines?

12:44.280 --> 12:46.280
Wow, you really are working hard.

12:46.280 --> 12:47.990
I brought you some food.

12:47.990 --> 12:49.510
Like what?

12:50.020 --> 12:53.030
It's all prepped, so just sauté it....

12:51.340 --> 12:54.050
Say, what if you reached out to someone?

12:54.410 --> 12:55.900
For what?

12:55.900 --> 12:58.550
Ignore me if you'd rather,

12:58.550 --> 13:01.660
but I was thinking someone in your 
line of work might understand.

13:01.660 --> 13:05.320
Maybe help you out of this slump.

13:08.570 --> 13:11.080
<b>November 27th</b>

13:08.990 --> 13:11.080
Goodness me!

13:11.080 --> 13:14.090
Oh my gosh, Juno-san!

13:12.740 --> 13:14.980
So you're in a slump, huh?

13:14.980 --> 13:16.830
Poor thing.

13:16.830 --> 13:18.770
Tell me about it.

13:20.300 --> 13:21.850
Thanks for having me.

13:21.850 --> 13:23.330
Oh... Hello.

13:23.670 --> 13:25.640
I hear she's taking care of you.

13:25.640 --> 13:29.390
Not that you need to be 
grateful or anything.

13:29.390 --> 13:31.520
Koudai-san decided this
for herself, after all.

13:31.520 --> 13:32.890
It all sounds swell!

13:34.860 --> 13:36.410
Juno-san, is coffee okay?

13:36.410 --> 13:37.610
Sure.

13:38.030 --> 13:40.110
Let's have some dorayaki, yeah?

13:43.970 --> 13:45.370
I see.

13:45.580 --> 13:49.110
I was in a big slump myself 
until a couple of years back.

13:49.110 --> 13:52.620
What? But you're constantly
pumping out new work.

13:52.620 --> 13:55.200
I think it was three years ago or so...

13:55.200 --> 13:59.650
I could still write,
 but it all felt so bland.

13:59.650 --> 14:00.810
Bland?

14:01.390 --> 14:02.960
You know how novelists are.

14:02.960 --> 14:07.140
We frantically make stuff that 
we can guarantee is good, right?

14:07.140 --> 14:11.330
And sometimes people give 
us that affirmative feedback.

14:11.330 --> 14:15.010
Even if that skews around 
people of a certain taste.

14:17.220 --> 14:20.910
But nothing I made had any flavor to it.

14:21.840 --> 14:24.510
Nothing I wrote brought me joy.

14:25.020 --> 14:28.280
It was so lonely. I felt helpless.

14:30.270 --> 14:32.210
Lonely...?

14:32.210 --> 14:34.110
Yes, very much so.

14:35.030 --> 14:38.790
<b>December 20th</b>

14:35.590 --> 14:38.790
Oh, wow, she's actually day drinking.

14:38.790 --> 14:40.030
Got a problem?

14:40.030 --> 14:42.000
I finished my work.

14:42.000 --> 14:43.400
That's crazy.

14:43.400 --> 14:45.130
Thanks for having me over.

14:45.550 --> 14:47.890
Maybe some luxury brand store?

14:47.890 --> 14:49.670
I'm interested in architecture too.

14:49.670 --> 14:50.780
What about you, Asa?

14:50.780 --> 14:53.060
Um... Live concert venues?

14:53.060 --> 14:55.160
Yeah, sounds cool!

14:55.640 --> 14:57.200
Hey, Makio-san?

14:58.170 --> 15:00.420
Is being a novelist fulfilling?

15:01.310 --> 15:02.590
Not at all.

15:03.140 --> 15:06.290
My mother was a very sharp woman.

15:06.810 --> 15:09.450
If not for having a child,

15:09.450 --> 15:12.830
or perhaps if she'd been born 
a generation later...

15:13.090 --> 15:16.780
I imagine she could've 
been someone important.

15:17.450 --> 15:19.210
That's why I felt like...

15:19.700 --> 15:24.490
I stole my mother's life in a sense.

15:25.200 --> 15:27.430
Like what, original sin?

15:27.430 --> 15:29.960
That's not on you. It's a societal flaw.

15:31.940 --> 15:33.960
Right you are!

15:34.970 --> 15:37.950
When I landed my first job...

15:37.950 --> 15:38.990
At the bank?

15:38.990 --> 15:39.930
Yeah.

15:39.930 --> 15:44.910
To no one's surprise, 
my dad wasn't impressed.

15:45.430 --> 15:48.000
"Dad, I decided to accept 
the offer at the bank."

15:48.400 --> 15:50.980
"Is that so?"

15:50.980 --> 15:54.080
Your father really could be...

15:54.080 --> 15:55.330
I know, right?

15:55.330 --> 15:58.490
But when my mom heard, 
her ears turned bright red.

15:59.110 --> 16:03.300
She said, "I think it's very admirable." 
Or something like that.

16:03.300 --> 16:06.730
She used to work at the bank 
before they got married.

16:07.560 --> 16:12.410
I think that was the only time 
she ever got visibly upset,

16:12.410 --> 16:14.520
now that I look back on it.

16:14.520 --> 16:16.470
Yeah...

16:16.470 --> 16:19.270
Ugh, no! I hate my mom!

16:19.270 --> 16:23.420
She said, "It feels like just yesterday
Emiri was pooping all over herself."

16:23.420 --> 16:26.410
Stop making fun of me, Makio-san!

16:26.410 --> 16:31.020
You're laughing, but I'm sure you 
were in the same state back then.

16:31.560 --> 16:34.660
Ha, take that! Poopy Asa!

16:35.160 --> 16:37.750
Oh, yeah, there was this one recipe.

16:37.750 --> 16:39.250
In your mom's...

16:39.250 --> 16:41.420
Oh, her bento journal?

16:41.420 --> 16:46.610
Yeah. It was potatoes and pickled
 plum wrapped in pork.

16:46.610 --> 16:49.290
Man, I wish I could have that again.

16:49.620 --> 16:51.860
Our work can feel futile.

16:51.860 --> 16:54.420
Like digging a hole, 
then filling it back up.

16:56.410 --> 16:58.680
Anyway, Asa, did you decide about sci-lit?

16:58.680 --> 17:00.880
Ugh, not yet.

17:00.880 --> 17:02.160
"Sci-lit"?

17:03.350 --> 17:06.340
Makio-san, have you been 
reading our handouts?

17:06.340 --> 17:08.640
I haven't... yet.

17:08.640 --> 17:09.690
Not <i>yet</i>, huh?

17:09.940 --> 17:11.770
You're aiming for a national university?

17:11.770 --> 17:14.800
I'd do science if I were 
better at math, but...

17:14.800 --> 17:17.040
Oh, you meant science or literature?

17:17.040 --> 17:19.090
Which one did you choose, Makio-chan?

17:19.090 --> 17:21.190
Why, literature, of course.

17:21.190 --> 17:21.950
Why, of course.

17:21.950 --> 17:23.210
Of course.

17:23.940 --> 17:26.380
Should I choose based on my career?

17:26.380 --> 17:28.950
Or what I want to study at university?

17:30.330 --> 17:33.440
Well, I'd tell you not to push 
yourself too hard, but...

17:33.440 --> 17:36.440
That's not possible in your 
line of work, I suppose.

17:37.260 --> 17:40.640
When did you decide to become 
a novelist, Makio-san?

17:40.640 --> 17:42.590
It just happened, I guess.

17:42.590 --> 17:44.100
That's not an answer!

17:44.100 --> 17:45.390
Let's be serious.

17:45.390 --> 17:46.280
Yeah.

17:46.280 --> 17:48.530
I am being serious.

17:48.530 --> 17:50.490
Please stay out of this.

17:50.490 --> 17:53.380
Hey, whatcha writing, little one?

17:54.030 --> 17:56.110
L-Little—

17:56.110 --> 17:58.920
She's self-conscious about her height.

17:58.920 --> 18:02.160
Really? I was talking about her age.

18:02.160 --> 18:03.610
Sorry about that.

18:03.610 --> 18:05.440
I'm still growing!

18:05.440 --> 18:08.630
Who cares? I'm pretty short myself.

18:08.630 --> 18:10.070
It's cute, don't you think?

18:10.380 --> 18:11.300
No way!

18:11.300 --> 18:13.580
I want to look good in wide-leg pants!

18:13.580 --> 18:14.770
Can I have dorayaki now?!

18:14.770 --> 18:15.760
Oh, right.

18:15.760 --> 18:19.250
Come on, let's get along 
as fellow shorties.

18:19.250 --> 18:22.460
No! I'm gonna become the 
person I want to be!

18:27.280 --> 18:30.400
Well, even if you're boring or ordinary,

18:30.400 --> 18:32.750
you'll find something you 
want to do eventually.

18:32.750 --> 18:35.280
I guess that's my own story.

18:35.280 --> 18:40.030
People say our futures are boundless, 
which only gives me anxiety.

18:40.310 --> 18:42.190
The person you want to be, huh?

18:42.770 --> 18:45.020
That's one for the ages!

18:47.930 --> 18:49.290
Screw you...

18:50.040 --> 18:53.290
Hey now. Don't be rude like that.

18:53.290 --> 18:54.960
It's Asa, right?

18:54.960 --> 18:58.920
You just picked a fight with the 
age-old question of humanity.

18:59.800 --> 19:02.490
Ugh, I just want to be free.

19:02.490 --> 19:03.780
I'm hungry!

19:03.780 --> 19:05.240
Let's eat, yeah?

19:05.240 --> 19:06.730
It's not too bad, actually.

19:06.730 --> 19:09.430
All righty, let's whip something up.

19:12.850 --> 19:14.940
<i>I don't get any of it.</i>

19:27.760 --> 19:28.920
<i>It's not fair.</i>

19:38.180 --> 19:39.430
<i>Screw you.</i>

19:39.940 --> 19:41.080
<i>It's not fair.</i>

19:42.330 --> 19:44.440
<i>I don't get any of it!</i>

19:45.840 --> 19:48.850
<b>December 19th</b>

Is that okay?

19:57.210 --> 19:58.360
Sure.

19:59.040 --> 20:00.940
I'm heading out.

20:02.800 --> 20:04.020
Have a good day.

20:43.070 --> 20:45.660
Done...!

20:51.070 --> 20:52.280
Good night.

21:09.380 --> 21:12.930
I woke up in the middle 
of the night last night.

21:12.930 --> 21:16.050
Were you cold? Do you need a heating pad?

21:18.740 --> 21:20.700
I should get to morning practice.

21:21.930 --> 21:24.690
By the way, what happened 
with your lyrics?

21:24.690 --> 21:26.520
Please don't bring that up.

21:26.520 --> 21:29.240
I'm not making fun of you.

21:29.240 --> 21:31.310
I really think you should give it a shot.
