﻿1
00:00:01,550 --> 00:00:02,500
Shoot.

2
00:00:03,190 --> 00:00:04,810
Have you decided on dinner?

3
00:00:04,810 --> 00:00:07,810
Oh, I was thinking of heating 
up something premade.

4
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:12,540
Hmm. Instead, we've got some meat,
 onions, and peppers, so why not make...

5
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:13,760
Crap, I don't have time.

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,310
I'll message you the recipe!

7
00:00:15,310 --> 00:00:17,440
Have a good time.

8
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:22,260
Kotoko, your hair!

9
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:24,030
Yeah, I chopped it all off.

10
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:25,660
Wait, did I drop my chopsticks?

11
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:27,020
What, already?

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,670
Here are your starters.

13
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:29,570
Oops, I poured too much... Or maybe not.

14
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:30,620
Get it together.

15
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:33,950
Motsu, you've got, like, devil heels on.

16
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:35,450
Is that a diss?

17
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:37,120
Guys, our drinks are here.

18
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,230
All righty, here's to our 
hard work every day.

19
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:42,610
Cheers!

20
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Wait, so Daigo's met her already?

21
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,030
I sure have. She's real cute.

22
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:49,200
Just fifteen years old.

23
00:00:50,140 --> 00:00:51,880
She starts high school next week.

24
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,500
No wonder you're so tired.

25
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:57,610
Having someone around constantly 
is enough to tire me out.

26
00:00:57,610 --> 00:01:00,130
What are you, technically? 
Her foster mom?

27
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:01,140
Nice. Go foster mom.

28
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:04,220
Nah, I'm her... legal guardian?

29
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,550
Not too sure what that entails.

30
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:07,980
Then it's not like you've adopted her.

31
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:10,530
I can't take on a 
responsibility like that...

32
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:11,900
I mean, we're barely related.

33
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:16,410
So, what's she up to tonight?

34
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:18,410
Right now, she's...

35
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,120
eating dinner.

36
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,780
{\an3}Saute some meat, onions, and 
peppers. Add dashi seasoning and 
curry paste, then cook it down

37
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,780
Should go with either rice or udon

38
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,780
Thanks!

39
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,780
I thought it might be good with tomatoes, 
and it turned out like Hayashi rice

40
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,780
Yum!

41
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:22,350
Gosh, that's so cute.

42
00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:23,060
Totally.

43
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:25,160
Yeah, she's cute. And a good kid.

44
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,970
Though she can be a bit immature.

45
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:30,970
Still, I cower at the thought 
of her being that woman's child.

46
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,790
You mean you can't love her?

47
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:37,250
Makio.

48
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:39,750
I'm only saying this because 
you're so hopeless.

49
00:01:40,090 --> 00:01:42,380
I know it's not her fault.

50
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:45,080
I should treat her fairly regardless.

51
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:58,650
Journal with Witch

52
00:03:16,570 --> 00:03:21,490
Episode 4         Cower

53
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:17,850
You did <i>what</i>?!

54
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:18,870
Isn't that arson?

55
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:21,140
Not for real. I only hold grudges.

56
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:22,610
That's still terrifying.

57
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:26,000
I mean, just think back 
to when we were fifteen.

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,250
Can you believe we even 
made it to adulthood?

59
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:31,870
With real adult experiences 
like marriage and divorce.

60
00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:34,740
Exactly! Who would've thought back then?

61
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:35,880
Hey, that reminds me.

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,850
I totally screwed up at work 
the other day.

63
00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:40,010
Again?

64
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:40,580
I wanna hear this!

65
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:43,600
Oh my god, it was so bad.

66
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:45,840
Cheers!

67
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:50,220
Nice to meet you. I'm Shingo Kasamachi.

68
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:53,350
<i>He's...</i>

69
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:54,470
<i>so grown up!</i>

70
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:56,220
Here, I brought you something.

71
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,990
Huh? Whoa, is that meat?

72
00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:01,370
Wow, it's wrapped in nice 
paper and everything.

73
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:03,930
It's for sukiyaki. You two enjoy.

74
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:05,770
You're not staying for dinner?

75
00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:07,820
I can't stay that long.

76
00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:12,910
Can I get you something to drink?

77
00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:13,750
Sure.

78
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:14,920
Is coffee okay?

79
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:15,700
<i>They seem to get along.</i>

80
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:17,480
<i>And this vibe...</i>

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Sure. Let me help.

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,150
Hey, is this...

83
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:20,180
Yeah. It's good, isn't it?

84
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:20,940
<i>They've gotta be dating!</i>

85
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:21,750
What?

86
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:23,170
We're out of milk!

87
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:24,870
Oops, my bad.

88
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:27,200
A whole liter in one day?

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,880
The wonders of adolescence.

90
00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:31,050
It's fine. I'll go buy some.

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,270
I'm craving milk with coffee.

92
00:04:34,270 --> 00:04:36,360
Let me know if you need anything else!

93
00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:41,270
First Meeting

94
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:44,070
She's different, isn't she?

95
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:45,960
Yup. Um...

96
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:48,660
Are you Makio-chan's boyfriend?

97
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:50,660
First Meeting

98
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:55,890
Okay, I can see you're not exactly
 cut from the same cloth...

99
00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:58,770
No, I'm not. Not right now.

100
00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:01,160
Not right now?

101
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,310
We were friends before 
that and have been since.

102
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,180
But who knows? Our feelings 
may change tomorrow.

103
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,220
Then why did you two break up?

104
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:14,330
That's hot!

105
00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:17,310
First Meeting

106
00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:15,590
Are you okay?!

107
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:17,310
I'm fine, I'm fine.

108
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:19,160
Yeesh...

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,490
You don't get it.

110
00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:24,820
You wouldn't understand, Kasamachi-kun!

111
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:27,810
It was my fault.

112
00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:29,150
I got too arrogant.

113
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:31,840
Oh boy, that's enough reminiscing.

114
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,570
Adults are much more sensitive
 than you youngsters might think.

115
00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:38,770
To fill you in, my visit today 
wasn't just to meet you.

116
00:05:38,770 --> 00:05:40,920
I wanted to see how she's doing.

117
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:42,720
But don't tell her, okay?

118
00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:46,510
<i>How grown up.</i>

119
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:50,720
Heisei 29

120
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:50,720
Enrollment Guide

121
00:05:47,210 --> 00:05:50,380
I see. School will basically require
you to make lunch, eh?

122
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:52,200
Sounds rough.

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,770
Brain freeze?

124
00:05:54,770 --> 00:05:56,230
Not that. Lunch.

125
00:05:56,620 --> 00:05:59,960
Buying lunch every day costs a fortune.

126
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,860
I've started making my 
own bento box sometimes.

127
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:09,510
It's pretty basic. Just some rice, 
meat, and broccoli in Tupperware.

128
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Kasamachi-kun's Basic Lunch

129
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Made in his PJs

130
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Tupperware

131
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Any kind of meat (with yakiniku sauce)

132
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Boiled broccoli

133
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Microwaved rice

134
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:10,740
Pickled veg

135
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:12,930
That's more than enough.

136
00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:15,350
Please don't use Tupperware for mine...

137
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:16,990
Right, of course.

138
00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:20,360
What are you supposed 
to put in bento boxes again?

139
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,250
My parents only ever made 
brown stuff. But it was good.

140
00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:28,200
They used to say, "We're down for brown."

141
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,800
My parents were also against
 including tiny tomatoes.

142
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,770
I guess they took pride 
in their bento boxes.

143
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:38,470
That's right. Mine even 
kept a bento journal.

144
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:43,020
I bet they were perfect 
in their minds, but...

145
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:48,200
Raising a kid and loving them 
were two separate concepts,

146
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,030
in my parents' case.

147
00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:54,020
Anyway, what I mean to say is...

148
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:56,730
Don't worry over it too much.

149
00:06:57,180 --> 00:06:59,990
Thanks. I'll remember that.

150
00:07:01,970 --> 00:07:04,530
Makio-chan, do you have a bento box?

151
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:06,890
Nuh-uh. Gotta buy one.

152
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:10,030
"Makio-chan," huh? That's new.

153
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:12,500
No one would ever think to call you that.

154
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:13,580
I know.

155
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:14,560
Really?

156
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,050
Mom would always call you that.

157
00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:20,060
She used to say,
"Makio-chan's a novelist."

158
00:07:20,060 --> 00:07:21,090
All the time.

159
00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:23,050
Aren't you embarrassed?

160
00:07:23,050 --> 00:07:25,940
Living in fantasy world like this?

161
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:28,190
A novel, of all things!

162
00:07:28,570 --> 00:07:31,960
Why don't you face reality already?

163
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:35,410
What?

164
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,950
Don't you have something to say?

165
00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:39,820
Makio-san?

166
00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:41,580
You okay?

167
00:07:42,290 --> 00:07:43,960
I should probably get going.

168
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,720
I'll stop by again.

169
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,940
Or can I say that?

170
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:50,110
Of course! Please do!

171
00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:52,180
This is my place...

172
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:53,320
Hey, Kasamachi-kun.

173
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Can I have your LINE ID?

174
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,270
Okay, sure.

175
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,600
Enrollment Agreement

176
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,600
Guardian's Name

177
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,600
Makio Kodai

178
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,600
Aunt

179
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,130
Starting high school today

180
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,130
Excited for the entrance ceremony!

181
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,130
Meeting Emiri by the school entrance at 8:20

182
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:34,470
All ready. I'm off!

183
00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:36,380
Hey, like I said before...

184
00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:38,520
I can't help looking 
if you leave that out.

185
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,400
So could you close your journal?

186
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Like I said before, 
I don't care if you do.

187
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:44,870
I don't get you.

188
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:46,650
Well, I'm off!

189
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,350
Hey, are you sure you don't 
need me to come?

190
00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:53,130
It's all good.

191
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:57,910
Asa!

192
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:59,170
Emiri!

193
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:01,210
Morning!

194
00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:04,730
Hi, Asa-chan. Excited for 
another three years together?

195
00:09:04,730 --> 00:09:06,040
Oh, yeah.

196
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,660
I'm sorry for what 
happened at graduation.

197
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:12,670
Yeah, Mom. You should apologize more.

198
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:16,560
I'd like to say hello to your aunt.

199
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,960
Where is she?

200
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,100
She's not here.

201
00:09:20,010 --> 00:09:21,740
You mean she's not coming?

202
00:09:21,740 --> 00:09:23,000
To your entrance ceremony?

203
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,670
Nope.

204
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:27,060
You know, Asa-chan...

205
00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:31,060
If you ever have a hard time telling her 
anything, I can always talk to her.

206
00:09:31,810 --> 00:09:36,200
I mean, I find it strange 
that you're here all alone.

207
00:09:37,390 --> 00:09:40,230
But it's not like she's my mom...

208
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,040
Come on, Asa. Let's go.

209
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,740
Okay.

210
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:47,630
Where do you wanna meet up tomorrow?

211
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:48,700
Let's see...

212
00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:50,700
Oh my gosh, that girl is so cute.

213
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:51,790
Wanna go talk to her?

214
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:54,600
What? Emiri, you're going kinda overkill.

215
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,750
You're even wearing makeup.

216
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:57,350
Can you blame me?

217
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:58,970
We're making our high school debut.

218
00:09:58,970 --> 00:10:01,350
Our rules sucked back in middle school.

219
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:02,760
Stop.

220
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,940
Oh, my seat's over there.

221
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:06,080
Catch you later, Asa!

222
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,110
'Kay.

223
00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:13,010
Our high school debut, huh?

224
00:10:13,010 --> 00:10:14,100
Takumi!

225
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:15,710
Oh, Yoshimura.

226
00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:16,550
Sup?

227
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:18,870
Here, we got these at graduation.

228
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:23,750
Nara seemed a bit preoccupied, 
so I held on to yours.

229
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:24,940
Thanks...

230
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:28,570
But man, who actually skips graduation?

231
00:10:28,570 --> 00:10:29,560
Is it that bad?

232
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,250
Well, anyways...

233
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:33,770
As your middle school 
classmate, good luck.

234
00:10:33,770 --> 00:10:35,260
I'll do my best too.

235
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:36,830
What's that supposed to mean?

236
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:40,110
Are you Yoshimura from Sakura First?

237
00:10:40,110 --> 00:10:42,230
Hey, you were at the district tournament!

238
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:43,730
Are you joining the baseball team?

239
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:44,750
Of course!

240
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:47,540
Nice! Let's make the 
next three years a blast!

241
00:10:50,770 --> 00:10:52,620
Hi. Nice to meet you.

242
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:55,950
U-Um, n-nice to meet you. I'm Sone.

243
00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:57,700
I'm Asa Takumi.

244
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:59,620
Sone-san, what's your first name?

245
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:03,780
Oh, um, Asuka. I'm Asuka Sone.

246
00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:05,980
Got it. Asa-chan and Asuka-chan.

247
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:09,170
I'm Yumi Kanda. Call me Kan!

248
00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:10,670
Wow, that's so cool!

249
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,570
Did you draw this yourself?

250
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:13,680
<i>My second business card ever!</i>

251
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:14,000
Of course I did.

252
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,720
Sorry, are you cramped?

253
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,540
I'm good. Nice to meet you.

254
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:20,910
I'm Yuto Togo.

255
00:11:20,910 --> 00:11:23,220
Are you on the judo team?
 How tall are you?

256
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:25,700
Nope, soccer. And 186 centimeters.

257
00:11:26,390 --> 00:11:30,180
Now for the first-years'
 inaugural address.

258
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:34,080
Representing this year's class
 is Chiyo Morimoto.

259
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:30,910
No way!

260
00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:31,930
I love that too!

261
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,030
Present!

262
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:43,080
Of <i>course</i> your parents were excited.

263
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,810
I mean, you're class rep.

264
00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:46,610
That's a huge accomplishment!

265
00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:48,100
Accomplishment?

266
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,060
It's not that big of a deal.

267
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:52,860
Still, I totally get wanting 
them to be cool.

268
00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:55,250
My parents went overboard too...

269
00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:56,790
Asuka!

270
00:11:57,230 --> 00:11:58,750
It was so embarrassing...

271
00:11:58,750 --> 00:12:01,090
Every family's the same way.

272
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:04,250
Well, my parents aren't here.

273
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:07,270
Actually, they died in a car accident.

274
00:12:07,270 --> 00:12:11,510
I live with my aunt now, 
but she's a busy novelist, so...

275
00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:13,950
Sounds like a movie plot.

276
00:12:13,950 --> 00:12:15,310
Or is that not cool to say?

277
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:19,280
It's fine. Except I gotta make
 my own lunch now.

278
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,770
Wow, you're so independent.

279
00:12:21,770 --> 00:12:24,910
I'm basically a monkey by comparison.

280
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,340
A monkey?

281
00:12:26,340 --> 00:12:29,280
Waking up that early 
to make lunch must be hard.

282
00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:27,790
<i>Huh...?</i>

283
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,280
My parents still wake 
me up every morning.

284
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,090
Grow up already.

285
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,430
<i>Alone...</i>

286
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,260
<i>I wanted to stand out on my first day...</i>

287
00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:44,870
<i>I messed up.</i>

288
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:49,790
Since it's your big day.

289
00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:51,320
Go on and wash your hands.

290
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:59,320
At the entrance ceremony today, I...

291
00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:01,820
Starting high school today

292
00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:01,820
Excited for the entrance ceremony!

293
00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:01,820
Meeting Emiri by the school entrance at 8:20

294
00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:03,370
Huh.

295
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:06,110
That's it?

296
00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:07,820
The food's gonna get cold.

297
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:09,870
Mind if I start eating?

298
00:13:10,510 --> 00:13:12,070
I'll go wash my hands.

299
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:16,460
<i>I expected her to be like...</i>

300
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:19,340
What? Don't be like that. 
How embarrassing.

301
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:23,160
Yeah? Well, it is what it is.

302
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,090
Don't sweat it. 
Just watch yourself in the future.

303
00:13:27,090 --> 00:13:30,130
<i>...in my head. Boy, was I wrong.</i>

304
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,970
Asa.

305
00:13:34,060 --> 00:13:36,110
Don't be embarrassing like that.

306
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:38,990
Well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

307
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,350
It's okay. You can be
 more careful next time.

308
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,870
I didn't know you liked to stand out.

309
00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:57,290
I mean, you just said...

310
00:13:57,790 --> 00:13:59,210
I dunno.

311
00:13:59,210 --> 00:14:01,560
But sometimes, I do want to stand out.

312
00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:03,540
What's wrong with that?

313
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:04,870
It's okay?

314
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:09,490
Standing out for real 
requires a lot of effort.

315
00:14:09,490 --> 00:14:13,100
You know, like athletes, 
actors, and singers.

316
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,460
It means you've put in the work.

317
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,330
I wasn't expecting this.
 I figured you'd hate it.

318
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:23,870
Are you serious? Come on, I'm a novelist!

319
00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:27,490
I make my living writing out my fantasies
 and publishing them to the world.

320
00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:30,250
I'd never judge someone for standing out.

321
00:14:30,250 --> 00:14:35,790
But talking about me won't 
help <i>you</i> stand out.

322
00:14:35,790 --> 00:14:38,890
We're two totally different people.

323
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,230
Yeah.

324
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:42,280
Why don't you try singing?

325
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:44,540
Join a band or something.

326
00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:47,010
You're always humming to yourself.

327
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:51,150
A band? Mom never liked those.

328
00:14:51,730 --> 00:14:52,680
Huh.

329
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,450
There you go again.

330
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:55,850
Just spit it out.

331
00:14:55,850 --> 00:15:00,130
No, I mean... It's fine. 
It's your life, after all.

332
00:15:00,550 --> 00:15:03,720
But... she isn't here anymore, 
you know? Your mom.

333
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,830
How come?

334
00:15:11,150 --> 00:15:14,780
How come you hate Mom, Makio-chan?

335
00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:19,050
I won't tell you why.

336
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,340
Just because you're a kid 
and you mean no harm...

337
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:26,020
doesn't mean you can
 pry into just anything.

338
00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:29,030
I'll never tell you that.

339
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:30,840
I'm sorry!

340
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:32,530
I'm sorry.

341
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:34,280
I'm not mad at you.

342
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:36,680
I'm going back to work.

343
00:15:41,930 --> 00:15:44,940
Journal with Witch

344
00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:46,940
Thanks for having me!

345
00:15:47,340 --> 00:15:49,660
Nice to meet you. I'm Emiri.

346
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:52,970
Oh, from the face-off at graduation.

347
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:54,610
I'm Makio Kodai.

348
00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:55,950
We didn't have a face-off.

349
00:15:56,300 --> 00:16:00,080
I don't mind you having friends over,
but let me know ahead of time.

350
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,580
I sent you a message.

351
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080
{\an1}Makio-chan

352
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080
{\an1}Can Emiri come over?

353
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080
{\an1}I'm bringing her with me!

354
00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:06,220
"Ahead of time" doesn't 
mean immediately beforehand.

355
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:07,770
Sorry!

356
00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:09,840
Well, have fun.

357
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:13,760
That's funny. No big to-do or anything?

358
00:16:14,350 --> 00:16:17,180
My mom would definitely be all like,

359
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:21,620
"Hi there! Thanks for 
keeping Emiri company!"

360
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:22,590
That was good!

361
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:26,600
In the Takumi house, it'd always be like,
 "Please take care of Asa."

362
00:16:27,210 --> 00:16:28,390
That was good too!

363
00:16:28,390 --> 00:16:29,410
Right?

364
00:16:29,410 --> 00:16:30,270
I'm at my limit...

365
00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:33,370
By the way, did you notice 
our grade level leader?

366
00:16:33,370 --> 00:16:35,480
Did you see his tie? 
It was way too short!

367
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,680
Was it? That's hilarious.

368
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:48,130
Say, Makio-san,
 do you have a favorite snack?

369
00:16:48,130 --> 00:16:51,030
My mom asked me to scout out your place.

370
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:53,690
Aren't you supposed 
to keep that a secret?

371
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,130
If this is for a gift...

372
00:16:56,130 --> 00:16:59,990
I'm not trying to be polite 
when I say I'd rather she not.

373
00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:01,140
It's a hassle.

374
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:02,800
A hassle?

375
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,250
Makio-chan's a bit weird.

376
00:17:06,130 --> 00:17:09,320
My mom won't take no for an answer.

377
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,400
Not to be rude, but I mean it.

378
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,700
It's fine. Please tell her
 as much verbatim.

379
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,640
I don't care much for formalities.

380
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,650
I'm heading to work.

381
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:21,910
'Kay!

382
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,300
Um...

383
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:47,810
I'm sorry for bothering you.

384
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:49,410
Can I help you?

385
00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:50,580
I'm heading out.

386
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:51,810
Okay.

387
00:17:51,810 --> 00:17:54,220
She fell asleep... Asa did.

388
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,200
Out of nowhere.

389
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,820
She's, like, out cold.

390
00:17:57,820 --> 00:17:59,040
I see...

391
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,570
I'll come by again.

392
00:18:00,570 --> 00:18:02,330
To check on her.

393
00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:03,700
Sorry for the trouble.

394
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:23,430
Emiri?

395
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,350
{\an7}Emiri: I'm headed home since you fell asleep

396
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,350
{\an7}Emiri: Made it. Are you up?

397
00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:37,380
Makio-chan.

398
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,450
Um... Did you have dinner?

399
00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:42,860
It's on the table.

400
00:18:44,580 --> 00:18:46,060
What about your plate?

401
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:48,000
I'll eat later.

402
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:56,880
Thank you for this meal.

403
00:19:05,670 --> 00:19:08,770
But... She isn't here anymore, 
you know? Your mom.

404
00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:12,020
What a drag...

405
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,620
The latest food spots in Koenji!

406
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,890
I can't even guarantee 
that I'll love you.

407
00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:19,900
I hated my sister.

408
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:22,820
I won't tell you why.

409
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:46,310
I can't always be completely 
considerate of your feelings.

410
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:51,050
I probably can't understand 
your loneliness or anxiety either.

411
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:54,020
Because you hated Mom?

412
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:55,050
No.

413
00:19:55,050 --> 00:19:58,480
Because I get very tired 
being around others.

414
00:19:58,950 --> 00:20:01,510
I can't even work unless I'm alone.

415
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:04,820
Isn't that lonely?

416
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:09,070
Just like you can't understand 
the suffocation I feel,

417
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:12,950
I can't understand your loneliness.

418
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:16,960
Because you and I 
are two different people.

419
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,580
Wh-What are you...

420
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,100
If I made you feel 
neglected, I apologize.

421
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:28,960
So let's talk it out.

422
00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:31,290
Even though we don't
understand each other?

423
00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:32,610
<i>Because</i> we don't.

424
00:20:34,780 --> 00:20:37,770
I don't like eating alone.

425
00:20:38,220 --> 00:20:42,900
Okay. If I ever lose track 
of time, let me know.

426
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,530
If you ever want to talk, 
let's talk then and there.

427
00:20:46,910 --> 00:20:49,030
You're okay with that?

428
00:20:49,910 --> 00:20:51,790
Even though you're not my parent?

429
00:20:52,490 --> 00:20:54,280
Even though you don't love me?

430
00:20:55,180 --> 00:21:02,080
My hope is that you live a 
healthy life free of despair.

431
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,520
I feel that way because 
I think fondly of you.

432
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,420
More fondly than not, at least.

433
00:21:08,420 --> 00:21:09,790
I'm lonely.

434
00:21:10,650 --> 00:21:15,080
I can't do anything about the 
underlying loneliness you feel.

435
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,820
No! I'm <i>lonely</i>!

436
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,230
I'm so lonely...

437
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,060
I see.

438
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:29,800
<i>She accepted my loneliness
but couldn't understand it.</i>

439
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,010
<i>Water from an oasis may 
quench your thirst,</i>

440
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,010
<i>but it will not become one with the body.</i>

441
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:44,990
<i>No one can be one... with anyone else.</i>

442
00:21:46,620 --> 00:21:49,810
We never had any contact before this.

443
00:21:49,810 --> 00:21:54,340
I wonder if it's okay for a stranger 
like me to suddenly get so involved.

444
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,010
Oh, shush.

445
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:59,110
Thanks.

446
00:21:59,110 --> 00:22:00,940
Bring some more meat sometime.

447
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,470
Kasamachi-kun, tell me...

448
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:07,990
When do you feel lonely?
