1
00:00:01,125 --> 00:00:03,958
Waking up from another dream, I open my wet eyelids

2
00:00:03,958 --> 00:00:07,333
I curse my helplessness from those far days which dreadfully remain

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,333
Will this despair that burns my body feed me someday?

4
00:00:10,333 --> 00:00:12,958
I keep burning myself from it as I crave adoration

5
00:00:12,958 --> 00:00:16,083
Your eyes with glittering stars in them

6
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:19,000
All dried up, poor thing, a lack of love?

7
00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:22,166
A dazzling light that saves all from loneliness

8
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:26,083
Is this shadow that falls only on me because of you?

9
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:28,458
You have given me a fatal flaw

10
00:00:28,458 --> 00:00:30,916
Selfish giant star, ruined lives

11
00:00:31,291 --> 00:00:34,791
Please, let me hear your voice

12
00:00:34,791 --> 00:00:37,458
Even these tangled and twisted wounds

13
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:43,583
You're the only one who gave them to me

14
00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:47,000
Please, keep your eyes on me

15
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,708
I'll weaponize even the pain carved by fate

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,208
So that it can light the regrets from sometime

17
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,208
Without you, I cannot live anymore

18
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:02,375
I would sacrifice anything for you

19
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:05,416
I can't get enough of your love

20
00:01:05,416 --> 00:01:08,333
What should I use to fill in what's missing?

21
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,416
Fatal, fatal, fatal love

22
00:01:11,625 --> 00:01:14,625
Fatal, fatal, fatal I

23
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:17,583
Fatal, fatal, fatal sorrow

24
00:01:17,791 --> 00:01:21,250
Keep your eyes on me, my dearest fatale!

25
00:01:25,625 --> 00:01:27,875
My dearest fatale

26
00:01:54,291 --> 00:01:58,125
Sensei... please, just hear me out...

27
00:01:58,125 --> 00:01:59,125
Raida-san!

28
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,541
What?! What is it?!

29
00:02:01,541 --> 00:02:03,416
Among the departing crowd...

30
00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:06,083
was Tokyo Blade author Abiko-sensei!

31
00:02:07,875 --> 00:02:08,791
Bring her here!

32
00:02:08,791 --> 00:02:09,791
Y-yes, sir!

33
00:02:10,416 --> 00:02:12,625
Hospitality... I need to show hospitality!

34
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:16,041
{\an8}Green

35
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:16,041
{\an8}Tea

36
00:02:14,335 --> 00:02:16,041
Umameshiya

37
00:02:14,336 --> 00:02:16,041
bento

38
00:02:14,916 --> 00:02:19,125
Gee, I never imagined

39
00:02:14,917 --> 00:02:19,125
you'd come see the show, Sensei...

40
00:02:19,541 --> 00:02:22,875
I would've gotten you a ticket had you reached out.

41
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:25,958
Well, what did you think of our play?

42
00:02:26,791 --> 00:02:29,541
So that's what plays are like nowadays, huh?

43
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:32,458
It was nothing like I thought it'd be.

44
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:36,291
It will be a great reference when I write the script.

45
00:02:36,291 --> 00:02:39,208
O-oh, I'm delighted to hear that.

46
00:02:37,375 --> 00:02:38,000
quiver

47
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:39,125
quiver

48
00:02:39,125 --> 00:02:45,208
Why, to think you're personally writing the script...

49
00:02:39,209 --> 00:02:45,208
I can't wait to read it!

50
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:39,875
quiver

51
00:02:45,458 --> 00:02:49,208
The cast and crew will also be pleased

52
00:02:45,459 --> 00:02:49,208
to have it crafted by the manga author herself.

53
00:02:49,916 --> 00:02:53,666
Still, you are the only one who

54
00:02:49,917 --> 00:02:53,666
can do something, Raida-san.

55
00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:01,750
Sensei.

56
00:03:03,208 --> 00:03:05,666
Let's have a heart-to-heart.

57
00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:09,500
Right now, I'm in a very weak position.

58
00:03:10,125 --> 00:03:14,625
If I don't maintain good relations with the publisher,

59
00:03:10,126 --> 00:03:14,625
I won't be able to secure future jobs.

60
00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:19,875
Among the author's personal rights that

61
00:03:15,209 --> 00:03:19,875
a writer holds is the right of integrity,

62
00:03:16,125 --> 00:03:24,875
{\an8}Author's Personal Rights:

63
00:03:16,126 --> 00:03:24,875
{\an8}Rights that protect the author

64
00:03:16,127 --> 00:03:24,875
{\an8}from being hurt emotionally.

65
00:03:16,128 --> 00:03:24,875
Right of Integrity:

66
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:24,875
(The right to prohibit alterations without permission.)

67
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:24,875
The right to not have the content or title of your

68
00:03:16,131 --> 00:03:24,875
work altered (changed, omitted, etc.) against

69
00:03:16,132 --> 00:03:24,875
your will and without your permission.

70
00:03:20,083 --> 00:03:24,333
so without your permission, Sensei,

71
00:03:20,084 --> 00:03:24,333
we absolutely can't stage a Tokyo Blade play.

72
00:03:25,208 --> 00:03:29,541
Exercising the right of integrity is,

73
00:03:25,209 --> 00:03:29,541
of course, something you are entitled to.

74
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:32,416
But, I ask you please bear this in mind.

75
00:03:33,333 --> 00:03:38,708
It is completely and utterly possible that

76
00:03:33,334 --> 00:03:38,708
the script you write will be used exactly as is.

77
00:03:39,208 --> 00:03:42,791
Well... that doesn't bother me at all.

78
00:03:42,791 --> 00:03:45,166
No, please think it over carefully.

79
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:54,000
Even if the script you write is awful, there's a chance

80
00:03:45,584 --> 00:03:54,000
it'll go ahead as is to give the actors time to rehearse.

81
00:03:54,541 --> 00:03:56,833
Say there was a gifted novelist...

82
00:03:57,041 --> 00:04:01,125
If they were to draw manga storyboards for

83
00:03:57,042 --> 00:04:01,125
the very first time, would they score a perfect 100?

84
00:04:01,458 --> 00:04:02,541
Of course not.

85
00:04:02,833 --> 00:04:04,916
It's the same with stage-play scripts!

86
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:09,791
However much of a genius manga artist you may be, you

87
00:04:05,251 --> 00:04:09,791
won't be able to write an exceptional one right off the bat!

88
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:13,041
I'll say it one more time.

89
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:19,333
If you wield your personal rights as an author,

90
00:04:13,376 --> 00:04:19,333
it's possible we'll use your script just as you turn it in.

91
00:04:19,916 --> 00:04:22,791
It'll likely end up as a sluggish, middling play.

92
00:04:23,291 --> 00:04:24,791
Are you threatening me?

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,750
That goes both ways, doesn't it?

94
00:04:28,625 --> 00:04:31,083
Bargaining of this sort is nothing new for me!

95
00:04:31,416 --> 00:04:35,375
I've got to protect the jobs of more

96
00:04:31,417 --> 00:04:35,375
than 100 people involved with the play!

97
00:04:35,625 --> 00:04:39,750
I approach my job ready to **** the **** of

98
00:04:35,626 --> 00:04:39,750
a geezer or two if that's what it takes!

99
00:04:41,083 --> 00:04:43,875
How filthy... What the heck is that about?

100
00:04:44,041 --> 00:04:46,291
You saw the show just now, right?

101
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:50,083
The script for it was written by GOA-kun.

102
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,500
Will you please trust in the work he does?

103
00:04:57,708 --> 00:04:59,208
Meet them halfway.

104
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:02,250
Media franchises are collaborative works.

105
00:05:02,916 --> 00:05:06,291
They're a collection of tasks that

106
00:05:02,917 --> 00:05:06,291
you can't accomplish alone.

107
00:05:04,833 --> 00:05:07,625
I'll Go With Sweet Today

108
00:05:04,834 --> 00:05:07,625
Episode 6: "The Stalker Finally Bears His Fangs! The One Who Saves the Solitary Girl Is..."

109
00:05:10,958 --> 00:05:14,750
Alright. I'll trust in the work of a professional.

110
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:18,541
However, I do have one condition.

111
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:22,708
I see...

112
00:05:23,083 --> 00:05:24,916
So that's how things stand.

113
00:05:26,791 --> 00:05:29,958
We'll share the text on the cloud in real-time.

114
00:05:30,208 --> 00:05:35,041
Abiko-sensei and GOA-kun will talk

115
00:05:30,209 --> 00:05:35,041
here as they go about revising it.

116
00:05:35,458 --> 00:05:39,166
As the producer, this is

117
00:05:35,459 --> 00:05:39,166
the best setup I'm able to sign off on.

118
00:05:39,958 --> 00:05:41,916
Well, let's jump right into it.

119
00:05:44,083 --> 00:05:47,125
Alright. Please go ahead.

120
00:05:47,708 --> 00:05:49,458
Okay then, take it from page 1.

121
00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:56,041
Abiko-sensei, to start, you don't like how

122
00:05:51,376 --> 00:05:56,041
Princess Saya has ended up belligerent, right?

123
00:05:52,083 --> 00:05:58,125
By doing this, the original creator and scriptwriter

124
00:05:52,084 --> 00:05:58,125
will either become friendly or sour on each other.

125
00:05:56,291 --> 00:06:01,708
Well, I think other characters besides Princess Saya are off in spots.

126
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:06,166
Many such sessions have led to disputes that wrecked

127
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:06,166
projects, so as a mediator, this is a totally ill-advised plan.

128
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:06,833
Got it. Then, let's knock that into shape as we proceed.

129
00:06:07,041 --> 00:06:13,750
But, well, I doubt things can get any worse!

130
00:06:07,042 --> 00:06:13,750
There's nothing to lose, so ahead and fight it out!

131
00:06:08,666 --> 00:06:14,083
About the part with Blade and the villagers,

132
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:14,083
I want to revert their exchange back to how it is in the manga.

133
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:18,166
You mean including the lines that come

134
00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:18,166
after "If you get involved with me..."?

135
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:18,875
That said, I do have one major point of concern...

136
00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:25,708
If we do that, we'll have to restore Ido's passage as well.

137
00:06:19,334 --> 00:06:25,708
I feel like it'll be rather long...

138
00:06:21,083 --> 00:06:21,916
Well then...

139
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:25,708
What's going to happen? God only knows...

140
00:06:26,375 --> 00:06:29,916
You can cut the scene where Blade defeats the ruffians.

141
00:06:30,291 --> 00:06:33,458
Instead, during the subsequent battle with Tsurugi,

142
00:06:33,916 --> 00:06:37,750
we'll add some lines that make it so Tsurugi

143
00:06:33,917 --> 00:06:37,750
is able to grasp Blade's personality.

144
00:06:37,958 --> 00:06:41,541
Wouldn't doing so deviate from how things

145
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:41,541
unfold in the manga quite a bit?

146
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:45,416
That's fine. The core of the characters is what's important.

147
00:06:46,083 --> 00:06:49,000
So long as those don't change, it's okay to do whatever.

148
00:06:49,458 --> 00:06:50,583
I see...

149
00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:54,333
I'm starting to get a better idea

150
00:06:51,126 --> 00:06:54,333
of the extent of what you'll allow.

151
00:06:54,958 --> 00:07:00,875
In that case, how about after the battle, Blade

152
00:06:54,959 --> 00:07:00,875
rests his sword on this shoulder and speaks?

153
00:07:01,083 --> 00:07:04,458
Oh, that totally works. You're getting it now.

154
00:07:05,416 --> 00:07:07,833
Then, we'll go with this here...

155
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:09,708
Huh? Why?

156
00:07:09,958 --> 00:07:14,250
It might be hard to picture if

157
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:14,250
you don't know how the stage works,

158
00:07:14,791 --> 00:07:18,708
but moving in front of the screens as they converse

159
00:07:14,792 --> 00:07:18,708
should bring out a sense of traveling.

160
00:07:19,041 --> 00:07:20,166
Makes sense...

161
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:21,750
That would work.

162
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:24,583
I lack that kind of knowledge and experience.

163
00:07:24,583 --> 00:07:29,750
Well, this's how I make my living.

164
00:07:24,584 --> 00:07:29,750
Whether or not I look it, I'm in high demand.

165
00:07:30,916 --> 00:07:34,916
That reminds me, I saw a play you wrote the script for.

166
00:07:35,291 --> 00:07:38,000
Oh... What did you think?

167
00:07:39,083 --> 00:07:39,958
Well, I...

168
00:07:41,208 --> 00:07:42,916
really quite liked it.

169
00:07:45,791 --> 00:07:47,875
That's the kind of stuff I usually write!

170
00:07:48,375 --> 00:07:51,500
Please bring out that feeling in the Tokyo Blade play, too!

171
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,875
Are you sure? That will alter the vibe quite a bit.

172
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:59,500
That's fine - just fine. Let's keep on

173
00:07:55,167 --> 00:07:59,500
playing up your strengths.

174
00:07:59,708 --> 00:08:03,000
Well then, let's get through this part using stage effects.

175
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:04,333
Cut this part, too.

176
00:08:04,666 --> 00:08:06,833
We can also cut this line, right?

177
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:10,333
The acting alone should be able to cover this part, too!

178
00:08:11,541 --> 00:08:13,000
You're really getting after it now!

179
00:08:13,416 --> 00:08:14,416
Let's cut this, too!

180
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,250
Cut, cut!

181
00:08:26,791 --> 00:08:30,333
Thanks to GOA-san, we have a really good script now!

182
00:08:30,333 --> 00:08:33,833
I can picture the cast acting out the scenes!

183
00:08:34,333 --> 00:08:40,875
Yeah, truly... Sensei, all present,

184
00:08:34,334 --> 00:08:40,875
thank you for working through the night.

185
00:08:41,375 --> 00:08:43,375
Well, I'll be going now!

186
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:45,375
Please excuse me.

187
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:49,666
GOA-kun...?

188
00:08:50,250 --> 00:08:51,250
Gee...

189
00:08:51,625 --> 00:08:53,791
We started having fun and before I knew it...

190
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:57,541
It's just as I feared!

191
00:08:57,541 --> 00:09:02,041
Sure enough, when creators team up,

192
00:08:57,542 --> 00:09:02,041
they tend to produce something quite striking!

193
00:09:02,541 --> 00:09:05,208
But, we're low on time, so we'll have to go with it.

194
00:09:06,041 --> 00:09:09,375
If it comes together well, I can tell it'll be amazing.

195
00:09:10,166 --> 00:09:13,416
Dammit... I've got a whole new headache on my hands.

196
00:09:14,666 --> 00:09:16,875
Studio B

197
00:09:16,875 --> 00:09:21,833
Revised Script

198
00:09:17,333 --> 00:09:21,625
Sheesh... What an outrageous script

199
00:09:17,334 --> 00:09:21,625
they've come up with.

200
00:09:22,083 --> 00:09:24,750
The expository lines have been

201
00:09:22,084 --> 00:09:24,750
aggressively cut down on,

202
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:28,625
and there're lots of scenes we need

203
00:09:24,751 --> 00:09:28,625
to carry through our movements alone.

204
00:09:29,916 --> 00:09:34,708
Everything rides on the cast's acting-

205
00:09:29,917 --> 00:09:34,708
it's a killer pass of a script.

206
00:09:35,083 --> 00:09:41,458
So, if it's a failure, all of the blame will rest on us.

207
00:09:35,084 --> 00:09:41,458
It's a pretty darn tough ask.

208
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:46,583
Yeah, and now the script's interpretation

209
00:09:42,084 --> 00:09:46,583
of Princess Saya fits with mine!

210
00:09:46,583 --> 00:09:50,416
In fact, I think it'll allow me to uncover a new side of her!

211
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,583
It sure looks like it's worth studying closely.

212
00:09:54,833 --> 00:09:57,458
But, it's gonna be hard to pull off.

213
00:09:57,833 --> 00:09:59,250
It won't be a problem for me.

214
00:10:00,541 --> 00:10:03,250
I mean, I thought the previous

215
00:10:00,542 --> 00:10:03,250
one was somewhat lacking.

216
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:05,958
This one suits my skills better.

217
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:09,291
After all, acting's all of matter of speaking with your body!

218
00:10:09,625 --> 00:10:12,708
This has the markings of a GOA-san script all over it.

219
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:19,041
Well, we've acted in several of that guy's plays

220
00:10:12,709 --> 00:10:19,041
and can grasp the key points, so it'll be fine.

221
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:24,041
Now's our chance to show who the

222
00:10:19,501 --> 00:10:24,041
true top star of Theater Company Lala Lai is.

223
00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:28,291
All the Lala Lai members are

224
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:28,291
excited about the new script.

225
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,125
But...

226
00:10:33,041 --> 00:10:34,541
Seriously?

227
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,041
I don't think I can hack it...

228
00:10:37,416 --> 00:10:39,291
We've only got two weeks till the show.

229
00:10:39,666 --> 00:10:41,541
Am I gonna be ready in time?

230
00:10:42,166 --> 00:10:45,708
I bet this kinda thing's easy as pie for you, Aqua.

231
00:10:46,291 --> 00:10:48,166
No, I'm not so sure...

232
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,625
Alright, let's get started.

233
00:10:55,291 --> 00:11:00,291
So you're the new leader of Shinjuku?!

234
00:10:55,292 --> 00:11:00,291
It's time to find out what you've got!

235
00:11:00,708 --> 00:11:07,083
What's wrong with despising those Shibuya thugs?!

236
00:11:00,709 --> 00:11:07,083
Those low lives killed my parents and siblings!

237
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:10,166
In the end, that lot is just a rabble.

238
00:11:10,416 --> 00:11:15,416
Us being defeated is one in a million,

239
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:15,416
nay, one in a billion.

240
00:11:15,666 --> 00:11:18,041
Hyakume, you can be more dramatic there.

241
00:11:18,041 --> 00:11:18,666
Yes, sir!

242
00:11:23,791 --> 00:11:24,666
Touki...

243
00:11:25,916 --> 00:11:27,208
Princess Saya...

244
00:11:27,458 --> 00:11:28,250
Stop!

245
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:32,166
Touki, this is your biggest scene.

246
00:11:32,750 --> 00:11:34,416
Put more heart into it.

247
00:11:35,083 --> 00:11:36,000
My apologies.

248
00:11:37,125 --> 00:11:43,000
It's the climax of the play... Amid the battle, Princess

249
00:11:37,126 --> 00:11:43,000
Saya has suffered a severe injury and collapsed.

250
00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,958
Touki despairs...

251
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:48,916
But, Princess Saya miraculously comes to.

252
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:51,500
What emotions would wash

253
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:51,500
over him when he lays eyes on her?

254
00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:53,791
Release from his anxiety.

255
00:11:54,166 --> 00:11:57,041
A strong sense of joy and hope, I suppose.

256
00:11:57,041 --> 00:11:58,208
That's right.

257
00:11:58,541 --> 00:12:01,791
Your acting is indeed in line with the source manga.

258
00:12:01,791 --> 00:12:07,083
But, onstage, you won't reach the audience unless

259
00:12:01,792 --> 00:12:07,083
you project emotions with greater intensity.

260
00:12:07,416 --> 00:12:09,416
Draw out more emotion.

261
00:12:09,875 --> 00:12:12,791
This scene calls for emotional acting.

262
00:12:13,541 --> 00:12:15,041
Mortal enemy of my family!

263
00:12:15,416 --> 00:12:16,708
Where's the proof?

264
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:16,708
Alright, let's go with that.

265
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:19,416
I've slain so many I can hardly remember them all!

266
00:12:19,041 --> 00:12:19,791
Hup!

267
00:12:20,833 --> 00:12:26,000
There, there. This is your first play, so it's

268
00:12:20,834 --> 00:12:26,000
no surprise you can't strike the right balance.

269
00:12:26,666 --> 00:12:28,583
Gradually bring your acting in line

270
00:12:26,667 --> 00:12:28,583
with mine, and it'll be fin-

271
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:30,000
Don't baby him.

272
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,833
Aqua, you've never done any

273
00:12:30,709 --> 00:12:33,833
emotional acting, have you?

274
00:12:34,625 --> 00:12:37,791
Ultimately, one's personality is visible in their acting.

275
00:12:38,291 --> 00:12:43,833
And you never wear your emotions.

276
00:12:38,292 --> 00:12:43,833
Which is why they don't come out in your acting.

277
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:48,833
Up to this point, you've always just reproduced

278
00:12:44,501 --> 00:12:48,833
some performance that you saw somewhere.

279
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:52,041
It comes down to your very nature.

280
00:12:52,041 --> 00:12:54,083
You talk like you know him inside and out.

281
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:59,208
Of course I do! After all, I have the longest

282
00:12:54,209 --> 00:12:59,208
relationship with Aqua of anyone here!

283
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:02,583
I mean, we've known each other since we were little kids.

284
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:05,166
We're basically childhood friends.

285
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:09,958
It's nothing like the relationship with his

286
00:13:05,167 --> 00:13:09,958
purely-business girlfriend who he just met.

287
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:14,833
So you say, but we only reconnected recently.

288
00:13:17,333 --> 00:13:22,833
Revised Script

289
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:19,666
Still, I get it.

290
00:13:20,291 --> 00:13:22,666
Arima is completely right.

291
00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:25,458
I can't do emotional acting.

292
00:13:26,083 --> 00:13:30,583
Me doing acting where I get all

293
00:13:26,084 --> 00:13:30,583
worked up and cry? Forget it.

294
00:13:33,583 --> 00:13:35,208
Maybe I was too hard on him.

295
00:13:35,666 --> 00:13:38,291
But if not me, no one else would tell him.

296
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:41,250
How do you cry when you act, Arima?

297
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:43,916
Hmm...

298
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:48,208
There are various methods, emotional crying

299
00:13:44,126 --> 00:13:48,208
and physical crying among them...

300
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:51,583
but in the world of child actors, the most used is...

301
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:53,833
Aqua-kun...

302
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:57,375
if your mom were to die, what would you do?

303
00:14:00,791 --> 00:14:01,958
That one!

304
00:14:02,291 --> 00:14:06,041
You cry by convincing yourself you hold dear

305
00:14:02,292 --> 00:14:06,041
whatever's in front of you.

306
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:11,708
In this case, Touki's overcome with joy

307
00:14:06,501 --> 00:14:11,708
when he sees that Princess Saya is alive.

308
00:14:11,958 --> 00:14:16,083
So, basically, you should remember stuff

309
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:16,083
that made you happy as you act.

310
00:14:17,208 --> 00:14:21,791
Even you must have a thing or two

311
00:14:17,209 --> 00:14:21,791
that made you happy, right?

312
00:14:27,375 --> 00:14:28,708
Out of my way, Tsurugi!

313
00:14:29,083 --> 00:14:31,375
Trying to march into Shibuya empty-handed?

314
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:34,291
You're even more of a foolhardy samurai than Blade!

315
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:37,958
For this part, play it like you're always

316
00:14:34,834 --> 00:14:37,958
gonna outsmart your opponent.

317
00:14:38,250 --> 00:14:39,208
Got it!

318
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:44,416
Memories of when I was happy...

319
00:15:29,041 --> 00:15:30,916
Don't you dare enjoy yourself.

320
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:38,958
Never forget...

321
00:15:39,583 --> 00:15:41,916
that you couldn't save her.

322
00:15:44,250 --> 00:15:46,500
You have no right to-

323
00:15:53,458 --> 00:15:54,291
Aqua?!

324
00:15:54,625 --> 00:15:55,500
Aqua-kun?

325
00:15:56,958 --> 00:15:58,000
Hey, what is it?

326
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,708
What's wrong?

327
00:15:59,958 --> 00:16:00,875
I'm alright.

328
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:03,125
I got dizzy is all.

329
00:16:04,208 --> 00:16:06,291
I'm going to rest until I regain my composure.

330
00:16:15,458 --> 00:16:16,541
Anemia?

331
00:16:16,541 --> 00:16:18,083
Probably just a hangover.

332
00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:22,458
This isn't Kindaichi-san we're talking about.

333
00:16:18,251 --> 00:16:22,458
He's still in high school.

334
00:16:23,875 --> 00:16:24,625
Akane.

335
00:16:25,416 --> 00:16:27,833
You're his girlfriend, right? Go and be with him.

336
00:16:28,208 --> 00:16:29,083
Okay.

337
00:16:34,333 --> 00:16:36,000
Well, that's sure convenient for her...

338
00:16:43,958 --> 00:16:45,000
Here, have some water.

339
00:16:45,958 --> 00:16:46,875
Thanks.

340
00:16:51,875 --> 00:16:55,583
Sweating, unsteady on his feet...

341
00:16:51,876 --> 00:16:55,583
It could be a panic attack.

342
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:00,041
You look really pale. Maybe you should lie down...

343
00:17:00,958 --> 00:17:03,208
Should we call your family and have someone pick-

344
00:17:03,208 --> 00:17:04,125
Don't.

345
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:07,166
I don't want my sister to find out.

346
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:14,083
She's looking toward the future now. I don't want

347
00:17:08,334 --> 00:17:14,083
to remind her of things she needn't remember.

348
00:17:14,791 --> 00:17:15,375
Huh?

349
00:17:16,041 --> 00:17:19,375
Even so, it'd be best for someone to come get you.

350
00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:22,000
In that case...

351
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:24,583
{\an8}Gotanda Studio

352
00:17:22,626 --> 00:17:24,583
Gotanda

353
00:17:26,833 --> 00:17:29,708
You know, it's not like I'm this guy's dad.

354
00:17:31,666 --> 00:17:32,458
Sheesh.

355
00:17:36,208 --> 00:17:38,125
Let's see, are you...

356
00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:40,458
Aqua's girlfriend or something?

357
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:46,833
For real? I'd thought for sure that...

358
00:17:48,583 --> 00:17:49,541
Hmm...

359
00:17:50,416 --> 00:17:53,666
Seems he's been getting up to stuff

360
00:17:50,417 --> 00:17:53,666
I had no idea about.

361
00:18:01,541 --> 00:18:04,291
Sorry for barging in on you like this.

362
00:18:04,541 --> 00:18:08,708
Nah, it's alright. I'm about the

363
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:08,708
only one who knows his situation.

364
00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:11,625
Besides, it's not like this's a first either.

365
00:18:12,416 --> 00:18:14,833
Something like this happened to him before?

366
00:18:21,083 --> 00:18:24,291
Well, seeing as you're his girlfriend,

367
00:18:21,084 --> 00:18:24,291
I guess I can tell you.

368
00:18:25,583 --> 00:18:29,041
Long ago, he got caught up

369
00:18:25,584 --> 00:18:29,041
in an extremely terrible incident.

370
00:18:29,666 --> 00:18:32,750
And when he recalls it, he sometimes ends up like this.

371
00:18:34,041 --> 00:18:35,458
PTSD...

372
00:18:35,916 --> 00:18:39,208
You mean he gets psychologically traumatic flashbacks?

373
00:18:39,541 --> 00:18:40,416
Yep.

374
00:18:41,083 --> 00:18:47,083
He received counseling for quite a while,

375
00:18:41,084 --> 00:18:47,083
but he probably didn't want to worry his family too much.

376
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,416
He pretended he made a full recovery.

377
00:18:51,125 --> 00:18:54,041
Well, I suppose there's no forgetting it.

378
00:18:54,916 --> 00:18:57,291
I mean, it haunts even me to some extent.

379
00:18:59,041 --> 00:19:01,833
I'm gonna do some work-

380
00:18:59,042 --> 00:19:01,833
keep an eye on how he's doing.

381
00:19:03,125 --> 00:19:03,916
Okay.

382
00:19:21,666 --> 00:19:27,583
The nose-piercing, rusted-metal smell of blood

383
00:19:21,667 --> 00:19:27,583
is something I simply can't forget.

384
00:19:28,833 --> 00:19:34,333
The feeling of her hand gradually growing

385
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:34,333
cold never leaves my mind.

386
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:39,833
Had you been more careful...

387
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:43,416
Had you protected her with your life...

388
00:19:47,958 --> 00:19:48,750
Ai...

389
00:19:51,208 --> 00:19:52,000
"Ai."

390
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:57,916
The idol that Aqua-kun's a devotee

391
00:19:53,709 --> 00:19:57,916
of who died 14 years ago.

392
00:19:58,208 --> 00:20:06,666
[B Komachi] Close-up look at Ruby-chan's dance practice!

393
00:19:58,625 --> 00:20:00,958
Ai was with the same agency as he is...

394
00:20:01,291 --> 00:20:06,208
And his sister, who's also working

395
00:20:01,292 --> 00:20:06,208
as an idol, revived B Komachi.

396
00:20:06,875 --> 00:20:10,041
Both of them have a strong attachment to Ai.

397
00:20:10,625 --> 00:20:12,000
Psychological trauma.

398
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:15,000
The incident Aqua Hoshino was involved in as a child.

399
00:20:15,333 --> 00:20:16,583
Counseling.

400
00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:18,125
Ai's murder.

401
00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:19,875
{\an8}The darkness

402
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:19,875
{\an8}of the man who

403
00:20:18,252 --> 00:20:19,875
{\an8}killed Ai of

404
00:20:18,253 --> 00:20:19,875
B Komachi

405
00:20:18,416 --> 00:20:19,875
The possibility of multiple culprits.

406
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:23,875
The Strawberry Productions representative

407
00:20:20,251 --> 00:20:23,875
they live with is named Miyako Saitou.

408
00:20:24,291 --> 00:20:25,541
Adopted children and a foster parent.

409
00:20:25,541 --> 00:20:26,666
Their biological father.

410
00:20:27,083 --> 00:20:29,541
The reason they use the family name Hoshino.

411
00:20:31,541 --> 00:20:33,875
Ai's family name was never made public.

412
00:20:35,875 --> 00:20:39,041
For example, that Ai actually had a child in secret.

413
00:20:47,291 --> 00:20:48,041
Ai...

414
00:21:02,041 --> 00:21:03,000
Akane...

415
00:21:03,791 --> 00:21:05,375
why are you crying?

416
00:21:06,833 --> 00:21:09,625
I just... imagined something scary.

417
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:15,083
And when I thought, "what if it's true?", I felt sad...

418
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:19,791
thinking how lonely it must've

419
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:19,791
been not being able to tell anyone.

420
00:21:27,458 --> 00:21:32,166
No matter what happens, I'm on your side, Aqua-kun.

421
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:36,916
I'll bear the painful things together with you.

422
00:21:39,333 --> 00:21:40,458
What are you talking about?

423
00:21:43,291 --> 00:21:46,875
Oh, nothing. It's just some scenario I thought up.

424
00:22:05,916 --> 00:22:10,625
{\an8}Episode 15

425
00:22:05,917 --> 00:22:10,625
Emotional Acting

426
00:22:20,916 --> 00:22:23,208
Always been trapped into my life

427
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:26,541
No matter how I try, I cannot get it right

428
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:33,333
Back in my mind again and now it feels like

429
00:22:33,333 --> 00:22:38,291
Nobody sees me like I do

430
00:22:39,541 --> 00:22:42,000
Trying to find a way to get a hold on

431
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,583
To everything that's dear to me but then I don't know

432
00:22:46,583 --> 00:22:49,000
Why I leave every time

433
00:22:49,416 --> 00:22:53,666
But I'm crying

434
00:22:53,666 --> 00:22:59,041
In the light of the stage I see, I realize

435
00:22:59,291 --> 00:23:04,708
Whatever comes my way

436
00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:10,875
Be it pain, be it rain, let me be

437
00:23:11,291 --> 00:23:13,500
Lying

438
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:19,041
In the moment behind a veil I hide away

439
00:23:19,041 --> 00:23:24,666
All of my words unsaid

440
00:23:24,666 --> 00:23:28,000
They are scars in their own way

441
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:36,416
(And all this time

442
00:23:36,416 --> 00:23:38,500
It never leaves my mind)
