00:01Did you see that?
00:03Yeah, nice one, Satomi.
00:06I just got lucky.
00:07No way, I'm pretty sure that was all skill.
00:09What?
00:10I guess it's our turn to bowl next.
00:12Let's try our best.
00:16So, have you gone bowling before, Hananui?
00:19Yeah, a few times.
00:21You, Hotako?
00:23A few times for me, too.
00:25But I always throw gutter balls.
00:27I'm sure you'll do fine.
00:30Oh, wow, nice shot.
00:40Sorry.
00:41Don't worry, just relax.
00:52I did it!
00:54Don't leave us hanging, Hota.
00:58Don't leave us hanging out with her.
01:43I want to be with you
01:54I just see you

02:18I just see you
02:20ćŹăăćăȘăăźăŻ
02:36This is so much fun!
02:38I haven't hung out with anybody like this since I moved out to Tokyo!
02:42I gotta be honest though, ever since I started going to college, it's been kinda hard to make friends.
02:47When I bring up my hobbies, people end up getting creeped out.
02:50So I don't really know what to talk about with anybody anymore.
02:55Funny enough about that, I've always wanted to do this, like go out and let loose.
03:00So thank you, I appreciate you inviting me today.
03:04Yeah, of course. I always thought you were fun, and I really enjoyed talking to you.
03:10You're so sweet, Oda! You're the cutest co-worker I've ever had, and I've had a lot!
03:16Guess that's another one.
03:22They have these? Let's do the drums next!
03:25When the icon gets to that point, hit the drum with the stick!
03:28Here we are, just standing and watching.
03:30You wanna go play a game together?
03:33No.
03:34Don't be like that.
03:35Besides, I wanted to talk to you about something anyway.
03:41Why are we playing ping pong of all things?
03:44It's only one game.
03:46And if I win...
03:48You come clean to Hotako, and tell her about your past.
03:54So that's the reason he forced me to come out with him today.
03:57I already said you could tell her if you want.
04:02I really don't get you.
04:03Like, what's your deal?
04:05Whenever Hotako isn't around, you act like a total jerk towards me.
04:09So what? You aren't worried I'll spill everything about you?
04:12Or maybe you want me to.
04:14You say I can tell her if I want.
04:17Yeah, I don't think so, man.
04:19She wouldn't want to hear something so important about you from someone else.
04:28If I win, you never bring this up again.
04:32We did it!
04:34No, you did.
04:35I just held you back.
04:37Don't be silly.
04:38It's my first time going to an arcade with friends.
04:40Let's just focus on the fun.
04:43Hey, you two super hot guys are playing ping pong together?
04:46Do you want to go check him out?
04:48Yeah.
04:59Dang, dude, you're pretty good.
05:00Want to play with Hotako and Satsumi after this?
05:03You keep going on and on about Hotako.
05:06Enough!
05:10If I recall, didn't she tell you to stop calling her that?
05:16So you don't know about the current situation?
05:18She said that I could take my time making the switch, since she knows how hard change can be.
05:28I don't get it.
05:29Why the hell are you so nosy?
05:33Sorry, I get how this might bother you.
05:36Really.
05:37But, I've been friends with Hotako for a long time.
05:41It's nothing personal.
05:42I just don't want her to get hurt is all.
05:45You're doing this because you want to protect her.
05:48Right.
05:50Honanui?
05:51Hm?
05:51And Yao too?
05:53Hotako?
05:55And that's game and match.
05:57Or whatever.
05:58Wait!
05:59That's not fair!
06:00I wasn't ready!
06:01You say that you don't want her to get hurt.
06:04I don't want to hear that crap from you.
06:09A friendly competition, huh?
06:11I wish I could have been there.
06:15Alrighty.
06:16I gotta get to work here in a bit.
06:18Have a nice shift.
06:26I wonder what he and Yao were talking about earlier.
06:31So, what do you want to do now?
06:35Hmm.
06:40Hotaru!
06:42Will that hurt?
06:45Sorry.
06:45This might sting.
06:46I can do that myself.
06:47I'll take care of it.
06:50I want to do it.
06:59Did you end up having fun today, Honanui?
07:03Yeah, I did.
07:04I think it's nice to go out like that every once in a while.
07:09What about you?
07:11Seemed like you were doing all right.
07:14You told me before that things are weird between you and Yao.
07:17Well, I was starting to wonder if something happened.
07:24Um, well, remember when I told you about the friend who cut off my hair?
07:29There was a detail that I didn't mention.
07:32The boy she liked was Yao.
07:35That's why, whenever I spend time around him, I still get a little scared.
07:42It must be awful to have someone be so awkward around you, especially when you've done nothing wrong.
07:49Although Yao is really nice about it, he tries his best to pretend like it doesn't bother him at all.
07:54Because it took me long enough to realize that.
07:58I figured today would be a good chance to work through it.
08:02And you said I looked all right.
08:04I'm glad.
08:07I guess that explains it.
08:09You were worried about me, were you?
08:12That's not it.
08:14You don't need to be concerned about this.
08:16Because it's personal.
08:19She wouldn't want to hear something so important about you from someone else.
08:23You're truly an amazing person, Hootter.
08:25Somehow you prioritize the feelings of others.
08:29You keep growing as a person.
08:32What do you mean?
08:35I still need to get stronger.
08:39What do I do?
08:41How can I clear my head again?
08:47Soon.
08:50The sooner I can make you mine, the sooner I can relax.
09:08That was close.
09:10The promise I made to you.
09:12I almost broke it.
09:18Someday, when you and I finally share our first kiss,
09:22I hope you'll be just as excited as I will be.
09:41No.
09:42Sorry.
09:43I put you in an awkward position again.
09:45I'm such a moron.
09:48I keep doing this to you.
09:51No, you're wrong.
09:53I don't believe that's why I just did what I did.
09:58This has happened a bunch of times before.
10:01My body just moves on its own.
10:06But I can't put that feeling into words yet.
10:11Um, Hananoi?
10:12Hotaru.
10:15Listen.
10:19There's something I haven't told you.
10:30This sells out in no time every year.
10:33I want to try it, but I doubt I'll get to.
10:36Well, the third years do get an advantage since they're closer.
10:39I went through the exact same thing in middle school.
10:43Your middle school had a cafeteria?
10:46Yeah, because I lived in the dorms.
10:48Wait, a real-life dorm?
10:51That's my bad.
10:53I guess I still haven't told you much about my past, have I?
10:58No, it's on me for not asking about it sooner.
11:01Can you tell me some more?
11:05Of course.
11:06That's what we promised, right?
11:09That's right.
11:10That's what we decided on.
11:12We're embarking on a new endeavor.
11:17Listen, there's something I haven't told you.
11:24I actually...
11:25Hang on!
11:26Before you say it, is this something I really need to hear?
11:30I mean, the look on your face right now.
11:33Well, it's kind of like you think the world is going to end or something.
11:38What?
11:39I'm so sorry.
11:41I'm just nervous.
11:42Don't worry about it.
11:44Okay, then.
11:45If it's too much to get into now, why don't you just give me the gist of it?
11:49So, keep it vague?
11:50Yeah, that.
11:53Well, um...
11:54How do I put it?
11:56Actually, it's about how lame I used to be.
11:59That's all.
12:00I mean...
12:01I wouldn't blame you if it made you hate me.
12:06Oh, thank goodness that's all it was.
12:09In that case, you don't need to force yourself to tell me.
12:13But I feel like I should.
12:15Don't force it.
12:17There are plenty of things you don't know about me that you might not like.
12:20A whole lot, in fact.
12:23I know we're dating, but it's still going to be hard to tell each other every little secret about ourselves.
12:29It takes time.
12:31Are you sure, Hotaru?
12:33But you told me that stuff about Yao.
12:35Yeah, that's because I was ready for you to know that.
12:39Okay, let me think.
12:41I guess...
12:42Maybe there are certain things I should tell you, even if I really don't want to.
12:46This is tough.
12:49I know!
12:50We'll ask questions.
12:52Why don't we just start asking more about each other whenever we're curious?
12:55Huh?
12:56Alright, that's fine with me.
12:58I mean, all things considered, there are still a bunch of details and stories we don't know about each other
13:03yet.
13:04So, how's this?
13:05We can start with the small, casual stuff.
13:08And we can use that as practice to talk about ourselves more.
13:11It's like baby steps.
13:13And then we can learn bit by bit.
13:18Bit by bit.
13:24Wow.
13:26So, you had to clean and do your own laundry in the dorm?
13:29Hey, Hotaru!
13:31This is a surprise.
13:33A welcome one, though.
13:34You're in this club, right?
13:36Yep.
13:36We're on break right now.
13:38Shibamu is in the kendo club.
13:40So, what's up?
13:42Oh, uh...
13:43We had plans.
13:45We were gonna spend some time together, but then we got rained out.
13:49So now, we're exploring the campus.
13:52It sounds like fun regardless.
13:55Miss Shibamura, we're about to start again.
13:57Oh, right.
13:59I'll see you two later.
14:02Wait.
14:03Mr. Hosumi?
14:05I didn't know he was the kendo club advisor.
14:09What extracurriculars did you do in middle school, Hala Noe?
14:12Track and field.
14:14Ooh.
14:15Does that mean you're good at running?
14:17I was actually pretty weak when I was a kid.
14:19It was to get in shape.
14:21I see.
14:24Hi, Kyo!
14:27Hotaru, what's up?
14:30Hehehe.
14:31Well, uh...
14:32Over here, I'm open!
14:34Center!
14:35Keep that ball moving!
14:36Make sure that guy's covered!
14:39Whoa!
14:40Swish!
14:41Right?
14:42He's pretty cool, isn't he?
14:44I only wish I could come watch him play every day.
14:47Huh?
14:47Hey, guys!
14:48Hibiki!
14:50Good to see ya!
14:51Look!
14:52It's that one famous kid.
14:54Yeah, he's actually in my class.
14:56But dang, dude, making your girl wait on you again?
14:59At least he has a girlfriend.
15:01Must be nice to have someone to comfort you after a hard workout.
15:05What brings you here?
15:06Gonna join the team?
15:07We'd love to have someone as tall as you, Hananoe!
15:11Just get back to practice.
15:14Even his classmates think he's a dork.
15:16Ouch, bro!
15:18Nah, he's just like that.
15:20He can be cold sometimes, but we're chill.
15:23Later!
15:23Oh, Hibiki.
15:25So, feel free to head home.
15:26I'm gonna be here late.
15:28Sorry.
15:28Sure.
15:29That's weird.
15:30I never see him like this in class.
15:32K's actually had a tough time.
15:34Real tough.
15:35In his first year, he was talented enough to jump ahead and become a regular.
15:39But he's had trouble getting along with his older teammates.
15:43Hananoe, thanks for that.
15:44If he kept on blabbing, they would have teased him even more.
15:49That was... nothing.
15:53Oh, man.
15:55Who would have thought?
15:56Guess Kodotani has his own problems.
16:00Based on how he's reacting, I get the feeling Hananoe doesn't hate Keiko after all.
16:10Anyway, Hananoe?
16:12Has it always been your policy to avoid making friends?
16:15No.
16:16I had some until middle school.
16:19Oh?
16:19Did you really?
16:20But there was only one I was really close with.
16:23Only one?
16:25So, what was this one singular person like, exactly?
16:30Mmm.
16:32Uh.
16:34Ah!
16:39Maybe it's something he doesn't want to talk about.
16:48That friend.
16:49He was actually a lot older than me.
16:52Oh.
16:52The person you mentioned earlier?
16:55Yeah.
16:56Back when I was still in middle school, I was rebellious.
17:00When I wanted to get my ears pierced, he was the one who helped me out.
17:04Huh?
17:05Most people would stop a middle schooler from trying those things.
17:09He wasn't most people.
17:10He was a free spirit that didn't care about stuff like that.
17:14But one day, he up and left without saying a word to me.
17:20I haven't seen him since.
17:22Did that painful experience make him not want any more friends?
17:25It's possible.
17:28I didn't enjoy that.
17:30It hurt.
17:33In that moment, his expression changed.
17:36Hanunui looked more tranquil.
17:39And after that, to my surprise, he was happy to keep sharing details about his old friend.
17:46And at that time, if someone told me he didn't care about making friends, I wouldn't have believed it.
17:55Hanunui?
17:57Hmm?
17:58The way you talk about yourself, you make it sound like you're a bad person.
18:03But I don't think that's true at all.
18:06You're so sincere and a much better person than you realize.
18:10You may not think so, but that's what I think.
18:14So, listen.
18:15I genuinely want to learn more about who you are.
18:19And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little curious about who you used to be.
18:26Regardless, the Hanunui I've grown to care about is the one who's with me now.
18:33If you prefer not to get into your past, I don't want to force you to tell me anything.
18:39You think I'm sincere?
18:41Mm-hmm.
18:42That's not all.
18:43I think you're really cute, too.
18:45Wait, you do?
18:46Oh, you know what?
18:47Now's our chance.
18:49This might sound weird, but there's something that I want to make sure of.
18:54Then that's...
18:56If you don't mind, please close your eyes and hold as still as a statue for a second.
19:01Oh.
19:03You...
19:04Whenever you hold me, my mind goes blank.
19:06And then before I know it, boom, I lose it.
19:10And I can't keep track of my feelings at all anymore.
19:13So, just once.
19:14And only if you'll let me.
19:16I'd like to try that on you!
19:19Like what exactly?
19:20It's nothing bad.
19:21I just want to confirm something.
19:24Well, alright.
19:27But, I don't know.
19:29If I'm being honest with you, depending on what the circumstances are, I'm not really sure I'll be able to
19:34hold back here.
19:36I might not be able to stop myself like I have been.
19:40That's just fine.
19:42This time around, I'm ready for it.
19:46I'm so sorry.
19:48I've kept you waiting until I knew what I was feeling.
20:17Just holding her hand.
20:22Just touching her.
20:28I feel...
20:30I'm sorry!
20:32There's nothing to apologize for.
20:35You just surprised me.
20:39I really do think Hananoi is cute.
20:43I feel them.
20:45These are my true feelings welling up inside me.
20:52You're so cute.
20:54I like you so much.
20:56I want to do more.
20:58And get closer.
21:17That'll do it.
21:18Thank you very much for your cooperation.
21:21Was that what I think?
21:27Oh, Signaw.
21:30Hey.
21:37Oh, thank you.
21:38Oh, my God.
21:39Oh, my God.
21:47Oh, my God.
21:49Oh, my God.
21:51Oh, my God.
21:52Oh, my God.
21:53Oh, my God.
21:55After the rain cleared, and the classroom fell silent after school, on this very unusual day, I had my very
22:06first kiss.
22:24Enjoy your company, I will be the same, I will be the same, I will be the same, but I
22:35will be the same.
23:17I'm so good.
23:19I'm so good.
