00:00:00even if the world doesn't need me i decided to keep living for someone who does
00:00:07it's enough even so i could have lost custody it was dicey custody and you know things were
00:00:18still kind of crazy with the move and everything but i kept busy and bounced back pretty well
00:00:23how could i not i've got toru on my side after all what it's true she is just so darn cute
00:00:31cutest in the world no the universe but katsuya honda you don't want to go see him anymore
00:00:38still so young i wonder how much time and effort it'll take for you kids to find your answers
00:00:48your reasons for living when she said that it sounded ridiculous i'd always felt i was born
00:00:58to be an object of contempt that i continued living only to hurt other people and wasn't i right
00:01:05are you crying you are what's the matter kyo could it be that you're in love with toru honda
00:01:28no i'm never going to fall in love not with her or anyone now kyo this young lady is toru honda
00:01:41no what is she doing here
00:01:46i knew all along yes from the very beginning about you and about your mother
00:01:58i was a kid master had only just taken me in
00:02:04what's your deal kid you're way too young to go around dying your hair different colors
00:02:14wait hold on is that natural jeez what's your deal just leave me alone you say anything else
00:02:20and i'll kill you oh wow you are a total brat aren't you that's so darn cute hey who do you
00:02:25think you're calling cute old hag listen to the mouth on you insulting a random stranger stinking
00:02:32adorable you're gonna get kidnapped if you don't stop being so cute better go home your mom will
00:02:38be worried i don't have one okay she died and your dad i don't need him either the jerk
00:02:48i wish he'd die he wants me dead too
00:02:57wow sounds lonely
00:03:02i thought master was the only person in the world who would actually want me around
00:03:08my mom was always consumed by her fear my dad had nothing but hatred for me
00:03:14the somas looked at me with contempt i was so used to being rejected she was like a ray of light
00:03:23of hope
00:03:24i wondered what the daughter of someone like her would be like
00:03:31today i'm gonna show you something special this girl is my treasure
00:03:36toru
00:03:39i knew the whole time but i said nothing i pretended not to realize kept it to myself
00:03:49because
00:03:58now now it's not your fault really
00:04:01i promise you didn't do anything wrong but kyo you can't go outside all right
00:04:07it's better this way there are bad things outside you understand come on inside with mom
00:04:14we'll stay there forever safely inside the house

00:05:02so i pushed it down i put the memory of letting your mom die into a box
00:05:11and shut the lid
00:05:17i was wondering
00:05:21can you uh see ghosts and stuff like that like are there any here now
00:05:27tell me why the sudden interest no real reason i was just wondering
00:05:37think of it this way living humans are stronger than the dead
00:05:41the waves of those who've left us are very weak so they are drowned out by the powerful waves of
00:05:47those who still feel the light of the sun on their face the dead can't be heard it's interesting
00:05:57right now it feels as though your waves are screaming at me
00:06:02why is it that this graveyard fills you with such chaos
00:06:18i'm sorry
00:06:19i don't deserve forgiveness i don't even deserve to be alive i know that and still
00:06:31still i look for her so precious my toru
00:06:40hold on you're back but why i figured you would be gone longer once high school is over you'll be locked
00:06:48away confined imprisoned like the previous cat was for life
00:06:59it's impossible so i'll stop hoping that i can make you mine someday because i know i can't
00:07:06but please at least stay by my side for the time i have left
00:07:16i want to be with you until we're separated for good until the very last moment well prince can you

00:11:21i was standing right there and i recognized her her hair color her face
00:11:29they were just like they were when we met i was trying to decide whether to say something when i saw it
00:11:37a car
00:11:39coming toward us out of control
00:11:41i thought oh shit i have to help her
00:11:45if i grabbed her arm and pulled her back against me
00:11:48but then i remembered i'm not human
00:11:51if i caught her in my arms i'd transform and people would find out what i am
00:12:05so instead i let her die
00:12:11it's my fault everything's my fault
00:12:14she said she wouldn't forgive me
00:12:21she was lying there in a pool of blood
00:12:25she noticed me standing nearby and said
00:12:29i won't forgive you
00:12:31at least that's what it sounded like
00:12:36how i can't forgive me
00:12:39i won't forgive you
00:12:42your mom was right to say that
00:12:47and i don't want you to forgive me either
00:12:52not now
00:12:54but worse in that moment

00:13:12not at all
00:13:15i can't believe it but
00:13:19if you're right
00:13:21if you didn't miss here and that's truly what she said to you
00:13:25then
00:13:28i know my choice the only one i can make is to go against mom
00:13:32kill please
00:13:36isn't there any way i can get you to see the truth
00:13:39to get you to just accept the fact that i love you
00:13:42and nothing you say will change that
00:13:47half hidden behind his coppery hair they were screaming so loudly

00:15:57Where were you?
00:16:21You weren't here, or at the hospital.
00:16:26Running away?
00:16:27Say what you want.
00:16:30Me being here would hurt her.
00:16:33I can't protect her.
00:16:35It's better if she has you.
00:16:41Oh, so that's how it is.
00:16:51Oh, my poor house.
00:16:53This is what comes of living with two boys.
00:16:54Hey, can I order pizza?
00:16:56What does that mean?
00:16:59You can't protect her from what?
00:17:01You think you should catch her before she falls off a cliff?
00:17:05Or swoop in and save her from getting hit by a car?
00:17:08Yeah, that'd be amazing.
00:17:11But who the hell are you?
00:17:12Do you think you're some kind of superhero?
00:17:15No, you're just a stupid cat.
00:17:18Shut up!
00:17:19I didn't say that, and it's not what I think.
00:17:21Yeah, sure, I bet somebody like you could pull that off.
00:17:24But if I could be like you, I already would be!
00:17:27Don't you understand?
00:17:29Don't you understand?
00:17:30I wanted that!
00:17:32To be you!
00:17:35Okay, fine.
00:17:37Write all you want to.
00:17:38I don't care anymore.
00:17:39Can I get some nuggets, too?
00:17:41Go to hell.
00:17:44Go to hell!
00:17:45Go to hell!
00:17:46Go to hell!
00:17:47Go to hell!
00:17:49So did I!
00:17:51That's what I wanted.
00:17:52To be like you.
00:17:55I admired you so much.
00:17:58And now?
00:18:00You had to go and say it first!
00:18:03Easily, like it's nothing!
00:18:05Screw you!
00:18:06Screw you!
00:18:07But you're you, I'm me, and we can never be anything more.
00:18:19We can only be ourselves.
00:18:22We have to accept ourselves.
00:18:25And face who we are.
00:18:29You didn't protect her!
00:18:31You protected her just fine, dumbass!
00:18:34Maybe it doesn't mean much.
00:18:36Making somebody smile.
00:18:39And yeah, maybe it's not like being a hero with special supernatural powers.
00:18:44But when you're with her,
00:18:47Miss Honda looks so happy.
00:18:50Do you seriously think I could do that?
00:18:53Make her smile just by being there?
00:18:55Cut the crap!
00:18:57Open your eyes and realize there are things only you can do!
00:19:01Don't make her cry!
00:19:02Get your damn act together!
00:19:04Why are you just sitting there?
00:19:12The guy you claimed to admire gave you a pep talk.
00:19:15Get out there and do something about it!
00:19:17Stupid cat.
00:19:18Damn it.
00:19:34That idiot.
00:19:35I hate him.
00:19:39But...
00:19:40After what I said...
00:19:43Will she still accept me?
00:19:45And me...
00:19:47Do I still love her?
00:19:52Really love her?
00:19:55What do I love about her?
00:19:59Why do I love her?
00:20:05How much do I...
00:20:07Wait...
00:20:14None of that matters.
00:20:18I love her.
00:20:19I love her.
00:20:22I just...
00:20:23Love her so much.
00:20:27Whoa!
00:20:28My feet.
00:20:35They just started running.
00:20:37Taking me away from Kyo.
00:20:40I don't understand.
00:20:42This isn't right.
00:20:43It's not what I planned.
00:20:45When I saw him again, what I meant to do...
00:20:49A smile.
00:20:50A smile.
00:20:54Wait.
00:20:56Stay back.
00:20:56Please.
00:20:57Just for a bit.
00:20:59Please.
00:21:00One second.
00:21:02Stop it.
00:21:03Stop it.
00:21:04Stop crying.
00:21:07I don't want to upset him.
00:21:09I don't want him to hate me.
00:21:12I don't want him to be...
00:21:15Even more disappointed in me.
00:21:21Hey.
00:21:22I was completely selfish, wasn't I?
00:21:26I just confessed all my own sins.
00:21:30Said everything I wanted to say.
00:21:32And trampled all over your feelings.
00:21:34Then I ran.
00:21:39Even though I know that sometimes in this world...
00:21:42You don't get the chance...
00:21:44To see someone again.
00:21:46To say you're sorry.
00:21:48I know that.
00:21:51But...
00:21:52I'm sorry for making you cry.
00:21:55I'm sorry I hurt you so much.
00:21:58This is the last time.
00:22:01I'm fine with that.
00:22:03I don't need another after this.
00:22:06But will you please give me one last chance, Toto?
00:22:10What I want...
00:22:12Is to be with you.
00:22:14If I'm going to keep living...
00:22:17I want to do it with you.
00:22:20You and nobody else.
00:22:22Because...
00:22:23I love you.
00:22:31So...
00:22:32Does that mean...
00:22:37I'll stay by your side?
00:22:39That we'll...
00:22:40Be together?
00:22:42You're saying I can be with you.
00:22:45Stay close to you and...
00:22:47Hold your hand?
00:22:48You know...
00:22:51You already are.
00:22:58Even if it's been said dozens...
00:23:01Hundreds...
00:23:02Thousands of times...
00:23:04Even if the words are a worn-out cliché...
00:23:07They're still true.
00:23:09This really is...
00:23:11Like a dream.
00:23:13You may not remember, but...
00:23:28That was our second kiss.
00:23:30Huh?
00:23:31It was?
00:23:32But where...
00:23:33Yeah...
00:23:33Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
00:23:35You're gonna have to remember it on your own.
00:23:37If you don't...
00:23:39Then it won't count.
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:46You think I could...
00:23:48Hold you?
00:23:51I know as soon as I do...
00:23:53I'll transform.
00:23:55And sometimes...
00:23:56It'll be hard.
00:23:59Being with me will mean you'll have to deal with this weird body of mine.
00:24:02Yo.
00:24:04Haven't you figured it out yet?
00:24:07It's okay.
00:24:10Because I love you no matter what.
00:24:13I love you.
00:24:15I swear.
00:24:16And that love...
00:24:18It's invincible.
00:24:24Oh.
00:24:25Huh.
00:24:26Well then...
00:24:28Maybe I'm invincible too.
00:24:30I mean...
00:24:33There's nothing to be afraid of now.
00:24:35Not if you're with me.
00:24:37I mean...
00:24:37It's all right.
00:24:55I'm過來.
00:24:58Huh.
00:25:00Uh...
00:25:01uh hey weird lady your hair real okay weird lady is a bit rude why don't you call me kyoko
00:25:13the name's kyoko honda what her name's like mine so what do they call you not telling
00:25:20all right i guess i'll just have to call you squirt then why squirt though because you're a squirt
00:25:26but katsuya honda you don't want to go see him anymore
00:25:32still so young i wonder how much time and effort it'll take
00:25:40for you kids to find your answers your reasons for living
00:25:45come by again sometime squirt
00:25:54so i've decided that when i graduate i want to leave here
00:26:03what um not like that i mean i'm not trying to run away or anything
00:26:08it's just i've been avoiding people my entire life and disengaging from the world
00:26:16but it's different now
00:26:18i'm a normal human being and i can live a normal life
00:26:24i can be part of this world with you
00:26:26that makes me so happy and i don't want to hold back
00:26:31however hard it is i want to fight
00:26:34to test myself in another place
00:26:37and um i'm hoping you'll come
00:26:43so when you leave here do you know where you'll go
00:26:52to a dojo run by someone master knows
00:26:57it's a long way from here
00:27:00it makes sense because i can train and work at the same time
00:27:07then someday when i take over master's dojo
00:27:12i'll have outside experience
00:27:14i'm sure i'll be able to use what i learned there
00:27:18all of it
00:27:21the good and the bad both
00:27:23i know it must sound young and naive
00:27:31it would mean taking you away from people who love you
00:27:35but well i want to find out who the real me is
00:27:40i want you to find the real kyo too
00:27:45i can see it the look on master's face when you told him
00:27:51hearing you plan and talk about the future
00:27:55finally seeing you determined to live
00:27:58he was happy
00:28:02and i am too
00:28:05so yes when you leave here kyo
00:28:09i'll come
00:28:10huh
00:28:12huh
00:28:13you will
00:28:14are you sure
00:28:15it's really far away
00:28:17it'll be hard to see your friends
00:28:19but it's fine if you need time to think
00:28:20or if you decide not to go
00:28:22kyo
00:28:23i'm easy going but i stand my ground when something's important to me
00:28:27i'm actually quite stubborn
00:28:28oh
00:28:29well yeah
00:28:30i guess i've noticed that a time or two
00:28:33okay good
00:28:34i'm glad you know i can make up my own mind
00:28:37because there's another thing i've made up my mind about
00:28:40you're wrong about mom holding a grudge against you

00:34:02i ran with a bad crowd
00:34:04did bad things
00:34:06dad didn't give a shit about us
00:34:10mom only cared about her husband and what other people thought
00:34:14we never went anywhere as a family
00:34:17we rarely even ate meals together
00:34:20i don't remember a single hug

00:39:39come on
00:39:41if we leave here together then you won't be alone
00:39:46yay
00:39:46wait
00:39:47hold on
00:39:48oh right
00:39:49my name's katsuya honda by the way
00:39:51nice to meet you
00:39:53this guy
00:39:55is a really weird teacher
00:39:58um
00:40:00you sure this is okay
00:40:02what's okay
00:40:04well i mean
00:40:05you're a teacher
00:40:06won't this get you in big trouble
00:40:08oh i think i'll be fine
00:40:10plus
00:40:12i'm just a student teacher with no real motivation to speak of
00:40:15wait
00:40:15you're not actually a teacher
00:40:17i couldn't tell if he really was a gentleman
00:40:21or if the nice manners were just a front
00:40:24to hide his true self
00:40:26he took a student out of school without permission
00:40:28then took her to lunch like that was a totally normal thing to do
00:40:32none of it made any sense
00:40:35why me
00:40:36why bother doing this
00:40:39you tell me
00:40:40why do you think i am
00:40:42you're curious
00:40:45well yes
00:40:49miss nobrows
00:40:52of course
00:40:54keep your hands to yourself buddy
00:41:00oh
00:41:01my apologies
00:41:02here you are sir
00:41:03the only thing i knew for sure
00:41:07was that the ramen tasted good
00:41:09i was sore and bruised and beaten
00:41:14but the ramen we ate together
00:41:17was really good
00:41:19so the whole busting me out of school without permission thing
00:41:28the other teachers get pissed about it
00:41:30no
00:41:32not particularly
00:41:33i simply explained that i had to take you home because you were indisposed
00:41:37although
00:41:38having an influential father likely helped my case
00:41:41your dad's some big shot
00:41:43my father was a teacher
00:41:44of course he's retired now
00:41:47but before that he taught at this school for a long time
00:41:50he was so widely respected he became a bit of a celebrity here
00:41:55they all fuss over me
00:41:58give me special treatment because i'm the son of a great man
00:42:01it's fairly obvious they want me to follow in his footsteps
00:42:05sounds kind of
00:42:08well
00:42:09crappy of them
00:42:11a bit yes
00:42:12still
00:42:13don't mourn too much on my behalf
00:42:16famous parents can make for valuable weapons
00:42:19if you know how to wield them correctly
00:42:21i can take a step or two over the line without fearing punishment
00:42:25you might be the crappiest person here
00:42:30thank you
00:42:30it wasn't a compliment
00:42:32all right
00:42:34i've got afternoon classes to get to
00:42:36i take it that you'll be skipping again
00:42:38like you have to ask
00:42:40chronically truant though you are
00:42:42i wish you would come to see me teach at least once
00:42:44miss nobrows
00:42:46i do too have eyebrows
00:42:47see i drew some in
00:42:48you ought to notice stuff like that
00:42:50oh don't worry
00:42:51i noticed
00:42:52yes
00:42:54you look much prettier this way
00:42:57miss nobrows
00:42:59look
00:43:01they're right there
00:43:02you said yourself you saw them
00:43:04stop using that stupid nickname already
00:43:06it was a front all right
00:43:09beneath the polite words he was quirky
00:43:12and a bit cold
00:43:13but still
00:43:15jerk
00:43:16he's messing with me
00:43:18probably laughing behind my back
00:43:20i was drawn to him
00:43:23i even started going to school pretty regularly
00:43:28not that i actually attended classes
00:43:31but mr honda would always meet me for lunch
00:43:36so i went
00:43:37so how's student teaching going lately
00:43:39do the others like you
00:43:40i mean your classes
00:43:41couldn't possibly be going better
00:43:43seeming likable is a specialty of mine you see
00:43:46wait
00:43:47it's all an act
00:43:48you really are shameless aren't you
00:43:50thank you
00:43:51again it's not a compliment
00:43:52and what about you
00:43:54been fighting lately
00:43:55no
00:43:56i haven't
00:43:57short as they were
00:43:59i looked forward to those stolen moments
00:44:01hey
00:44:02katsunuma
00:44:03you were a total no-show at the rally yesterday
00:44:06must be looking for a fight pulling a stunt like that
00:44:09you blow off another one
00:44:15the boss won't let it slide
00:44:16wonder what mr honda's up to
00:44:22sleeping probably
00:44:23what does he think of me
00:44:26this kid with penciled in eyebrows
00:44:29who keeps showing up to spend lunch with him
00:44:31why does he meet with me
00:44:33i wonder whether
00:44:35he is a lover
00:44:37hey
00:44:41what are you doing right now
00:44:44what
00:44:48is this a student teacher thing
00:44:50these glasses are totally fake
00:44:52why do you even bother wearing them
00:44:54i think they add to my look a little bit
00:44:56classic teacher style
00:44:58teacher style
00:44:59what does that mean
00:45:00you are so weird
00:45:03so you know
00:45:06my internship here ends tomorrow
00:45:08i won't be around the school anymore
00:45:11oh
00:45:13okay
00:45:15so
00:45:17are you
00:45:19gonna become a teacher
00:45:21no i'm not
00:45:24i did this to humor my father and family
00:45:27to go along with their expectations for a bit
00:45:30honestly
00:45:32i wasn't entirely uninterested in playing the role of teacher if it turned out to be a good fit
00:45:37but now
00:45:39i'm certain it's not the job for me
00:45:41my personality is warped for one thing
00:45:45whoa
00:45:46you admit it
00:45:47it's contorted in ways i can't undo
00:45:50my father is a strict man
00:45:55he has a lot of firm opinions about manners
00:45:58and everything else really
00:46:00so over time
00:46:02i constructed a new and improved version of myself
00:46:05with the intention of satisfying him and the rest of the family
00:46:08if i played the part well enough
00:46:11if i hid my true feelings
00:46:13they would leave me alone
00:46:15and your dad
00:46:17do you hate him
00:46:18no i would say it's more like
00:46:22there's a wall there
00:46:23although
00:46:24ever since my mother's death a while back
00:46:28he seems to have shrunken in on himself somehow
00:46:31the fight's gone out of him
00:46:34oh
00:46:35i get it
00:46:36he's lonely
00:46:37this him
00:46:39this version of himself
00:46:41it's lonely
00:46:42just like i am
00:46:44or else
00:46:47how could he have known
00:46:49sorry i'm boring you
00:46:52no i'm not bored at all
00:46:56really i'm not
00:46:57i want more
00:47:00i want to hear all his stories
00:47:03get to know him better
00:47:04but
00:47:07i guess
00:47:14it's over now
00:47:15your last day's done
00:47:21uh-huh
00:47:23mr honda
00:47:24i
00:47:26i thought maybe i'd do like you said
00:47:29and come see you teach at least once before you took off
00:47:32except
00:47:32the classroom
00:47:35it's
00:47:35scary
00:47:36i was afraid to see
00:47:40what i already knew
00:47:42that i don't belong in there
00:47:44that it's too late to be one of them
00:47:47look i know i'm a total coward for saying that
00:47:53it's my own fault things are this way
00:47:56i get it
00:47:57but still
00:47:58i really wish
00:47:59i mean
00:48:01it being your last day and all
00:48:03what do you say
00:48:04what do you say
00:48:04i'll take you on a drive right now miss snowbrows anywhere you want

00:48:46i think you're nice
00:48:47i was like a stray cat

00:48:54you took me in
00:48:55i love you
00:48:57so much

00:49:08study and continue with school
00:49:11i'm gonna do my best
00:49:14i hate how young i am
00:49:17how immature
00:49:19i hate that i haven't lived a better life up till now
00:49:23with our age difference
00:49:27i probably never stood a chance anyway
00:49:29but maybe
00:49:32if i'd at least been more human
00:49:35but more of a normal girl
00:49:38i'd have the confidence now to say i love you out loud
00:49:45without feeling ashamed
00:49:47thank you
00:49:50so dramatic
00:49:53make it sound like this is farewell for life

00:49:57after this
00:49:59i won't see you anymore
00:50:00you child
00:50:03as if there aren't plenty of other ways we can see each other
00:50:07if you think that school's the whole world
00:50:11not just one insignificant place
00:50:13that proves how young you still are
00:50:15besides
00:50:18studying on your own could be difficult
00:50:21don't you think
00:50:23at that point
00:50:26i wasn't sure why exactly he wanted to keep seeing me
00:50:30so i let myself hope
00:50:33but not too much
00:50:35after leaving the school
00:50:42katsuya went to work in the pharmaceutical industry
00:50:45i enjoy research
00:50:47and the act of thinking itself really
00:50:49well apparently i suck at those things
00:50:52give yourself a break miss snowbrows
00:50:54you just haven't spent much time trying till now
00:50:56still you seem to be a quick learner
00:51:01you keep this up
00:51:03and come exam time
00:51:04you'll be ready
00:51:05you think so
00:51:06your hair looks nice
00:51:10i like it better without the curl
00:51:12oh cut the crap
00:51:13you always find something to tease me about
00:51:15pisses me off
00:51:17we spent every weekend like that
00:51:19him helping me study
00:51:21but eventually
00:51:23i had to pay
00:51:26think you can walk away just like that
00:51:32if you want to leave the gang
00:51:34you better believe it's gonna cost you
00:51:36what a dumbass
00:51:38this world doesn't hand out second chances to scum like you
00:51:42next thing i knew
00:51:47i was waking up in a hospital bed
00:51:49grown-ups came and went
00:51:52cops and teachers
00:51:54my parents always had some excuse for why they couldn't visit
00:51:58that's it then
00:52:00after he went to all that trouble to tutor me
00:52:04there's no way i can face him now
00:52:08i'd missed the exams
00:52:13and one thought kept echoing in my head
00:52:16over and over
00:52:18you reap what you sow
00:52:21that's it
00:52:23we are disinheriting you as of today
00:52:25now get out
00:52:27as far as we're concerned we don't have a daughter anymore
00:52:30you're free to live and die however you want to
00:52:33but we're done being responsible for all the pointless trouble you cause
00:52:37that's what they say
00:52:40you reap what you sow
00:52:42i'm reaping my punishment for all the stupid crap i did
00:52:47idiot
00:52:49your child didn't turn out the way you would have liked her to
00:52:53so she's no longer your child is that it
00:52:55what are you doing
00:52:57she's made mistakes and therefore can't be acknowledged as your own flesh and blood
00:53:00now is that because you've lived blameless picture-perfect lives yourselves
00:53:05or maybe you think you have the right to abandon your parental responsibilities when they get too tough
00:53:10it's all right
00:53:12how dare you involve yourself in our family business please stop you can go
00:53:14leave right now i'll be okay
00:53:16the business of the situation does pain me but i saw no way around it
00:53:19i had to speak to you because for better or worse you're the parents of the woman i hope to marry
00:53:24you want to marry her you want to marry her what are you insane i don't believe so
00:53:32i'm certainly saner than you
00:53:34do you object to our marriage if you want her you can have her we don't care it's not like she's part of our family
00:53:42honey honey there will be paperwork so i might be back again for your signature
00:53:48fine as long as you don't cause us trouble
00:53:51honey please
00:53:51now get out of here
00:53:53come on
00:53:56you just fell off the map i was worried about you mr honda when i gave up and called your house
00:54:06your mother told me the hospital was releasing you today mr honda
00:54:10i have no idea that it happened to you
00:54:13katsuya
00:54:16back there
00:54:19what you said
00:54:22you weren't serious were you
00:54:24i was
00:54:26i only wish it had been a better proposal
00:54:30i'm sorry
00:54:31please
00:54:34it's all right
00:54:35you don't have to go through with it
00:54:37you don't have to go that far for someone like me
00:54:40you're better off just turning me away
00:54:42you've done enough already
00:54:44i'll be okay on my own
00:54:46really
00:54:47there's
00:54:49there's no need for you to waste your life looking after me
00:54:53i'm offended
00:54:54you think i would marry you out of pity
00:54:58don't you trust me
00:55:01it's just that
00:55:02i mean it doesn't make any sense
00:55:04i don't understand why you would want this
00:55:07why you would ever choose me
00:55:09because you cried
00:55:10when you cried and said you were lonely
00:55:14you look so human
00:55:16and
00:55:18i fell in love with you
00:55:21there was a time when i was angry like you and believed everyone else was scum
00:55:26but i couldn't cry with that kind of raw honesty
00:55:30i can't cry at all
00:55:32at that point
00:55:35you were still in junior high so
00:55:38i held back
00:55:39but i never planned to let you go
00:55:44so choose me
00:55:47and if you have doubts even now
00:55:50if you need words to feel secure
00:55:53i'll give you as many as you want
00:55:56but i won't stay silent
00:55:59say yes kyoko
00:56:02choose me
00:56:04do you have a lolita complex
00:56:12where in the world did you learn that phrase
00:56:15anyway it's your fault
00:56:19i'm being born later than me
00:56:21i think you're right
00:56:29teaching really isn't the job for you
00:56:33at all
00:56:34thank you
00:56:35not a compliment
00:56:39what i'm not doing that
00:56:46not a chance
00:56:48no way no how never nope
00:56:50hey it's all right
00:56:51i'm fine whichever way you'd like to go
00:56:54but it's rare to see a woman who's so vehemently opposed to weddings
00:56:57then leave the fluffy dresses and boring parties to the rest of them
00:57:00oh that kind of crap is not why i want to be with you katsuya jeez
00:57:04okay okay
00:57:05and so we got married
00:57:08nobody celebrated on either side
00:57:11apparently the hondas were unanimously against it
00:57:15with the one exception of katsuya's father
00:57:20there's no greater happiness in life than living with the one you love
00:57:25building a home together where that love can continue to grow
00:57:28but give it time
00:57:30you're both still young and new to this
00:57:33for now you must accept that there are people who disagree with what you've done
00:57:37and then little by little bit by bit you can let your actions prove them wrong
00:57:44show them in a hundred tiny ways that you're happy precisely because you're together
00:57:49what the hell he's not strict at all
00:57:52i psyched myself up because i thought he was gonna yell at me not give us some sweet speech
00:57:56i told you he's not much of a fighter these days
00:57:59you two want to stay for dinner
00:58:00i'll order sushi
00:58:02we live near the ocean
00:58:05just the two of us
00:58:07well that's not your usual reading material
00:58:11are you wishing you had a ring
00:58:13nah who needs a ring
00:58:15what i want is this
00:58:17think of all the juices i can blend up for you
00:58:21healthy treats for after work
00:58:22juices huh
00:58:24they're gonna be disgusting aren't they
00:58:27say that after you've tried them ungrateful jerk
00:58:30we would always go out somewhere on his days off
00:58:34it didn't really matter where we went
00:58:37just that we were together
00:58:39huh
00:58:45he's already home
00:58:47welcome home
00:58:52miss no brows
00:58:54yeah i'm back
00:58:58we're swapping parts today huh
00:59:00it's good to change things up
00:59:02we were precious to each other
00:59:04pregnant
00:59:11so you went to the clinic alone then
00:59:14why
00:59:15what's wrong
00:59:18i can't
00:59:21do this
00:59:22i don't think i can
00:59:25have a child
00:59:27i'm happy that i'm carrying your child
00:59:32i am
00:59:33but
00:59:34a child is a
00:59:36a person
00:59:37you know
00:59:38and i'm
00:59:40me
00:59:41am i really qualified to be somebody's mother
00:59:45think about it
00:59:47i've made the kind of bad choices you can see from space
00:59:51how can i give birth
00:59:53to an actual person
00:59:54raise another human being
00:59:56what if i screw up
00:59:59and they're unhappy because
01:00:00of me
01:00:01what if they get bullied or hurt
01:00:04what if they wind up sad and alone
01:00:06crying because of me
01:00:07what if they end up wishing i'd never given birth to them in the first place
01:00:13maybe it's your fault
01:00:15because i sure as hell never asked to be born
01:00:19how could i
01:00:23what a horrible thing to say
01:00:26i don't know how my mom felt
01:00:28standing there
01:00:30listening to those words
01:00:32but if my child said them to me
01:00:35i'd want to die
01:00:37i said something so cruel
01:00:41so carelessly
01:00:43something that would have cut me to the bone
01:00:46but i flung it at her
01:00:49without even stopping to think
01:00:52listen to me kyoko
01:00:55you understand that this child is going to be their own person
01:00:58that's what matters most
01:01:01let's treat them as they deserve to be treated
01:01:05as all humans should treat each other
01:01:07let's remember what people have done to make us happy
01:01:10and to make us sad
01:01:12let's hug them every chance we get
01:01:16touch them gently and talk to them honestly
01:01:19when they do something wrong
01:01:21let's teach them why it was wrong
01:01:24and how to make it better
01:01:26and if
01:01:27just if
01:01:29our emotions run away with us and we lash out
01:01:31cause them pain
01:01:32let's apologize
01:01:34and then
01:01:37let's hug them again
01:01:39let's raise them like that
01:01:43us two together
01:01:45not alone
01:01:49together
01:01:52i want our child
01:01:56miss snowbrows
01:01:58and not too long after that
01:02:05the most precious being in the world was born
01:02:10toru
01:02:12toru
01:02:13let's go for a walk
01:02:14come on
01:02:16such a lovely child
01:02:19though that's a bit of a masculine sounding name you picked out for her wouldn't you say
01:02:23a subtle seasoning
01:02:24or so katsuya says
01:02:26subtle seasoning
01:02:27like how you can add a pinch of salt to something sweet to make it taste even better
01:02:32he says he wants toru to be that kind of girl
01:02:35interesting
01:02:36that almost makes sense in a nonsensical kind of way
01:02:40well it is katsuya
01:02:43people don't always understand him
01:02:46but somehow
01:02:47i do
01:02:48now then
01:02:54is my son helping out with the baby like he should be
01:02:56uh-huh
01:02:57he's great
01:02:58especially when it comes to baths
01:03:00i'm telling you pops
01:03:01you'd be surprised
01:03:02you know kyoko
01:03:03hmm
01:03:04when katsuya told me he was getting married
01:03:07i was overjoyed
01:03:08thrilled
01:03:09and relieved all at once
01:03:11he never seemed attached to anything
01:03:13never talked about his feelings
01:03:15or showed much emotion
01:03:16but that day
01:03:17i knew he'd found someone to love
01:03:19and it warmed me all the way through
01:03:21we human beings
01:03:24lead such strange lives
01:03:26with every decision we make
01:03:28every person we meet
01:03:30new possibilities are born
01:03:32as we walk our own paths
01:03:33we change each others
01:03:34in good ways
01:03:36and bad
01:03:37i was a poor father
01:03:40i realized that
01:03:41and it caused katsuya a great deal of pain
01:03:44i wouldn't blame him if he resented me
01:03:46but now
01:03:47he's finally found the happiness that was missing from his life
01:03:51because he met you
01:03:53you gave him that
01:03:56thank you kyoko
01:03:58no pops
01:04:00really
01:04:01please don't say that
01:04:03katsuya doesn't resent you
01:04:05if he did we wouldn't be coming to visit you like this

01:10:31Why does the sun bother to rise in the morning?
01:10:37Why are those people talking and smiling like everything's normal?
01:10:43Why are there weather reports on TV and flowers in the park?
01:10:51Why?
01:10:53Didn't the whole world die with Katsuya?
01:10:57Turned to smoke and bone and ash?
01:11:02I don't remember much.
01:11:05After Katsuya died, I was just empty for a while.
01:11:09Well, despair beat down on my head like it had replaced the sun.
01:11:16I'll only say one thing.
01:11:19Don't even think about coming back here with the kid.
01:11:22Neither of you have a place with us.
01:11:26That's it?
01:11:28That's what you called to tell me?
01:11:30Yes.
01:11:32You know, Dad,
01:11:34you said once that there are people this world needs and people it doesn't.
01:11:39But that's a lie.
01:11:45It's a lie.
01:11:48The truth is,
01:11:49the world doesn't need anyone.
01:11:52Not a single person.
01:11:56Parents.
01:11:58Teachers.
01:11:59Bigwigs.
01:12:01Children.
01:12:02Adults.
01:12:04Me.
01:12:05Katsuya.
01:12:06The world doesn't need us.
01:12:10Any of us.
01:12:13It doesn't care who lives or who dies.
01:12:18Night and day keep on coming.
01:12:21Relentless.
01:12:23The world clearly doesn't give a damn about anybody.
01:12:26That's sad.
01:12:32Such a lonely, hollow truth.
01:12:36And so we seek out other people.
01:12:39To fill the emptiness of it.
01:12:42We want to need and be needed.
01:12:45To find that someone who fills the empty places left by the world.
01:12:49Katsuya.
01:12:51Katsuya.
01:12:53That's what he was to me.
01:12:56My...
01:12:57Someone.
01:12:59I needed him.
01:13:01I loved him.
01:13:05I finally found him.
01:13:08But now...
01:13:11Welcome home.
01:13:12Now I'm all alone.
01:13:19There's no one to welcome me home anymore.
01:13:23Here's a question.
01:13:24Are you ready?
01:13:25What are the world's three gr...
01:13:26And in the capital of Croatia, the annual...
01:13:29How much of a need are you?
01:13:31Some people underestimate the health benefits.
01:13:34So we've put together this handy chart.
01:13:36Yes, there it is.
01:13:37I sense a great power.
01:13:39Reaching out to you from beyond the veil of this world.
01:13:42It's clearer now.
01:13:43Oh my, a masculine voice.
01:13:45But no need to fear.
01:13:47He says he's your late husband.
01:13:49What?
01:13:49Really?
01:13:50He's here?
01:13:51Yes.
01:13:52He came to see you, dear.
01:13:58Your husband has passed away, then?
01:14:00Yes, that's right.
01:14:01He got sick and...
01:14:04I know it's hard.
01:14:06But he's been very worried about you.
01:14:08He doesn't want you to grieve like this forever.
01:14:11He needs you to know he's watching over you.
01:14:14So it's time to pull yourself to...
01:14:15Where is he?
01:14:18I want to see him.
01:14:20I need to go look.
01:14:24But where?
01:14:28He left, but...
01:14:30Maybe...
01:14:33Maybe if I follow him...
01:14:36But maybe he doesn't need me notice he knows...
01:14:37Maybe he doesn't need me.
01:14:46Maybe he can?
01:14:49Maybe he doesn't need you know.
01:14:51But he's like, maybe...
01:14:52Maybe he wants me to sleep with the dark.
01:14:54Maybe I want to sleep with the dark and bright.
01:14:54Miss No Brows.
01:15:16Mommy, please!
01:15:18Come on, Mommy! What's taking so long?
01:15:21Hold on, I can't find your tickets.
01:15:23Finally, here they are. Thank goodness.
01:15:27Kate! Hurry, we're gonna miss the train.
01:15:30We've got time. We'll be fine, silly.
01:15:32Gotta walk faster than that, Slowpoke!
01:15:34Okay, okay, I'm coming.
01:15:37Faster, faster, faster!
01:15:39When was the last time I spoke to her?
01:15:42The last time I said her name, or heard her voice?
01:15:47It's been so long. What have we been eating?
01:15:51Emptiness. That's all I can remember.
01:15:55I think Pops came by a bunch of times, but I'm not sure.
01:15:59Toru.
01:16:00Toru!
01:16:01Toru!
01:16:03Welcome home, Mommy.
01:16:15I... Yes, I...
01:16:23I'm sorry.
01:16:25I'm so sorry. I'm back now.
01:16:32I'm sorry.
01:16:35I'm sorry. I'm home.
01:16:39I'm sorry it took so long.
01:16:42But thank you for waiting for me.
01:16:43Thank you so much.
01:16:45I'm here.
01:16:47Thank you, Toru.
01:16:51I am always...
01:16:53Always stupid.
01:16:55Frightened and flawed.
01:16:58I try, but...
01:17:01I never find my answer.
01:17:03Without getting lost a time or two along the way.
01:17:06Even if the world is a hollow place, sometimes.
01:17:13Even if it doesn't need me.
01:17:15Or anyone else.
01:17:17I'll keep living for someone who does.
01:17:20That's the life I chose.
01:17:22And it's enough.
01:17:23What about you kids?
01:17:29How will you choose to live?
01:17:31So young.
01:17:33So new to all of this.
01:17:37I wonder how much time and effort it'll take for Toru.
01:17:42For all of you.
01:17:44To find your answers.
01:17:47Your reasons for living.
01:17:50Be happy.
01:17:52Please.
01:17:54Please.
01:17:57Please.
01:18:00I have to go.
01:18:02But I pray that you'll be happy.
01:18:06I pray that your years will be full of people who love you.
01:18:14Live the kind of life you can be proud of in the end.
01:18:18Even if you make mistakes or take the long way around.
01:18:23Live so that when it's your time to go, people will say you fought well.
01:18:32Have lots of happy times.
01:18:43And sad times.
01:18:45And everything in between.
01:18:47That's how I want you to grow old.
01:18:48That's how I want you to grow old.
01:18:49That's how I want you to grow old.
01:19:02I can't.
01:19:03I can't.
01:19:04I can't do it.
01:19:05Fresh ripe tomatoes, cabbage, okra, and peppers!
01:19:35This is perfect! So many yummy summer vegetables. I definitely want to use some in dinner tonight.
01:19:45Kyo!
01:19:49Toru!
01:19:50Welcome home! Well, almost.
01:19:52Yeah, I'm back. How was your day at work? Alright?
01:19:56Yes, you're coming home earlier than usual.
01:20:00Uh huh.
01:20:02Hey, slow down. You're making me dizzy.
01:20:04I'm just glad to see you.
01:20:05Yeah, I get it. Same here.
01:20:07An extra bag? Want help?
01:20:10No, it's no problem. I can get it.
01:20:12Someone at work gave these to me.
01:20:14She stopped me today right when I was leaving.
01:20:16Said they were to thank me for always working hard.
01:20:19I got a gift too, actually.
01:20:21Some fish.
01:20:23Oh, what for?
01:20:24Same as you. Said I worked hard, and some other random stuff. Guess it's no surprise, but man, they sure treat me like a kid sometimes.
01:20:34No, that's not it. You really are working hard, and they recognize that.
01:20:39I'm serious, Kyo Soma. You're working incredibly hard, and no one better say otherwise.
01:20:45Um, right. Thanks. But maybe dial down the intensity a bit?
01:20:50It's the truth, and that's what matters. You should know by now that I won't budge when it comes to you.
01:20:55My stubborn girl. But...
01:20:59You're working hard too, Toru. Don't forget that.
01:21:29Home?
01:21:44Yes. It's about to be our first summer here. Kind of hard to believe, isn't it?
01:21:50Yeah. Time flies. Want to go and see the family sometime soon?
01:21:57I'd love to. Master will be so happy to see you.
01:22:01I literally just talked to him on the phone yesterday, but whatever.
01:22:08We should visit the graveyard too.
01:22:12Yes.
01:22:27Can't even tell him today, he's gonna be so happy to see you.
01:22:41Right now, he's gonna be so happy to see you.
