The memories of that moment were swirling through my foggy mind.
I didn't even have time to think about it.
It'd been barely a day since I'd met her, and yet she...
Takatsuki, I... I...
Don't.
Don't say it.
Please.
Why?
Why is this no-go?
Why... Well...
You're nothing like my ideal love interest!
I mean, you're younger than me, you wear glasses, you're permanently broke...
You wear glasses, you daydream, you have a dirty mind,
you are way too self-conscious, and, you know, some other stuff...
Let it stop... Just... Let it stop...
Put an end to my haywire imagination.
I write to you, my beloved sister.
Bear the words of your useless brother.
Your little brother played with fire and blew himself up.
I am crestfallen at my disgrace.
I am crestfallen at my life.
Waiting for you in that summer
The sea breeze strokes your cheeks
and yet you say nothing
I really want to know what it feels like
to see you smile now
I felt like we had kissed already
when I looked into your eyes
Now the wind sweeps away
the borderline between dreams and reality
Or, in simpler words,
my perfect everyday life
feels like a movie I watched at some point
Though we live life like drifters
crossroads and irreplaceable times await us
In the river of this summer that appeared
forever lost like burnt film
I can see a reflection of things sure to come
I will break free of the mysteries I looked at
and accept the hand you offer me
Kaito!
Wake up, Kaito!
You'll be late for school!
You haven't even had breakfast yet.
What's this?
I'm taking the day off
Taking the day off?
Are you all right, Kaito?
Are you sick?
Rinon!
Nothing wrong with him physically?
So what's going on?
Kaito! Kaito!
Please leave me alone Kaito
Kaito...
I'm taking the day off. Please leave me alone.
Should I really leave him alone?
First of all, why did he write it down instead of telling me?
Is it some kind of secret code?
You're fascinating, Ichika.
Did I do something wrong?
Let me explain it, Ichika...
He's ditching school.
Ditching school?
Basically, there's a reason Kirishima wants to stay home.
Maybe he doesn't want to study...
Or maybe he doesn't want to see someone.
Doesn't want to... see?
The reason...
What happened last night?
N-Nothing...
at all...
Something did.
Being young is great.
Hey, Mio,
do you remember anything about yesterday?
I remember that we talked about the movie, drained our cups and played cards...
Anything after that is missing.
I'm the same.
I fell asleep at some point, and my head hurt when I woke up.
I wonder what happened.
'Morning!
Hey, Tetsurou!
What do you remember about yesterday?
Not much, really.
Oh, right.
I ran into Lemon on my way here.
For you, Kanna.
Lemon gave you that?
What could it...
A photo?
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, I'm not showing this to you!
But I want to see it.
Are you deaf?
But why? What happened?
What was I doing?
Kanna...?
Take your seat, everyone!
Let's start with the morning classes.
Kirishima isn't feeling well, so he stayed home.
Kai caught a cold?
You should all make sure you stay healthy.
He seemed just fine yesterday...
Now let me take attendance.
Kaito...
Maybe he found out who I really am.
Takatsuki, I... I...
I know now. You're no human, and you're not from Earth.
B-But that's...
She's an alien! From another planet!
Save us, protectors of Earth! Men in Black!
No! Someone help me!
Don't kill me!
Don't dissect me!
What a dreadful thought...
But how should I explain this to him?
Should I just be honest with him?
That might not end well...
I wonder what she's doing...
What?! Kaito confessed to you?
Yeah, last night. Out of the blue, for real.
So what did you say?
Of course I refused.
Man, Kai has no idea when he's playing in the wrong league.
Yup, 'fraid so.
So pitiful.
Why can't I daydream about nice things?
What's wrong with you?!
Let's go home, Mio.
Oh? You're not coming with us?
Where are you going?
To visit Kai.
Do you want to chat him up when he's sick?
He might be hungry, you know.
Takatsuki's there. She'll take care of him.
I guess you're right.
She's so devoted.
Taking care of all the ins and unders.
Now, then, Kaito. Let's clean you up.
Looking forward to it!
Let's not forget this spot.
That's...!
Now from the back...
That hits the spot!
Mio, I just remembered some stuff I have to do. See you later.
Hey, Kanna...
So obvious where she's going.
Are you fine with that?
With what?
Well, with this.
What are you talking about?
Just that... you...
This is an opportunity.
Lemon!
Let's get going.
Where to?
Do you really have to ask?
Oh, 8 mm film?
Is that yours?
This is what I got it for.
This is going to be epic.
I guess even in my state you get hungry.
What was your name? Rinon?
Want to eat too?
Delivery?
Kaito...
Tanigawa!
You've got it wrong!
I didn't ask her and she didn't say anything either!
So don't laugh at me!
What are you talking about?
You still look feverish.
How do you feel?
I'm all right. Just fine.
I caught some sleep. I'm all right.
Really?
Sorry. I shouldn't lie, right?
I was just skipping school today. Lots of reasons.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy you're fine.
Sorry, I should have told you.
We're good. No need to apologize.
Did you come to check up on me? Thanks.
But look how rude I am, come on i—
Will you look at this? Yesterday I get a confession and today you bring in another girl?
You stud, Kaito.
You stud...
Let's go elsewhere!
What?
Isn't it nice outside?
What's gotten into you?
I want to go elsewhere!
Okay. Fine with me.
Gimme a second, I'll go get changed.
Sorry for the wait.
Where should we go?
What about Karuizawa? It's been a while.
We could check it out for the movie.
Okay.
What? They're going outside?
I thought Kirishima was sick.
This is perfect.
Let's go, Snake.
Who?
Maybe I should just leave and never come back.
But Sistersis asked me to take care of him...
Kaito and Tanigawa? What are they doing?
Oh, they wouldn't!
A girl we know isn't from Earth! She's an alien!
Save us! Men in Black!
Rinon! Can you hear me, Rinon?
Let me jump through the quantum link!
Why isn't it responding?
You Will say it
Episode 3
Damn!
There's quite a few people here.
Saturday in July and stuff.
Do you have any idea where to go?
Not really. Let's just wander around.
All right. Let's wander around.
It looks almost like they're on a date.
Sure does.
It's difficult to get some nice shots.
How did you get that?
Easy as pie.
Is it?
It is.
Youth vanishes in the blink of an eye.
We need to make sure to conserve it.
I see...
What's wrong?
I... I got a bit thirsty so, so I'd like to buy a drink somewhere.
I'll go with you.
Do you want something, Lemon?
Yeah, please.
Where did they go?
Please come back!
Sorry this took so long.
Thanks for coming with me.
I don't mind.
I was thirsty too.
This is good! I should've bought a large.
Why did Kirishima skip school?
Isn't it obvious?
Takatsuki?
If he skipped school, something must have happened over there.
But this is a good chance for Kanna.
You get hurt...
if you get in the way of another's love.
Am I getting in the way?
I'm rooting for them, you know.
You are getting in the way.
And you always hurt yourself.
At least I think... that it hurts for you.
I appreciate it.
But you're overthinking this.
Kanna is just a friend of mine from way back.
Nothing more.
Wow, the scenery is amazing from here.
Did you find some good spots?
A few.
Happy to hear that.
Thanks, Tanigawa.
For?
For not asking why I skipped school.
I'm just worried.
I'm worried about you, but...
If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to.
It's about Takatsuki.
Nothing happened, don't get me wrong.
And how true that is.
It's just, you know, kinda difficult to suddenly start living with someone else, especially a girl.
She's a real beauty, isn't she?
She's got a good sense of style and...
But she's older, and she's a foreigner.
We're on two different banks of a river.
I came to realize that.
You're so kind...
Not at all.
What am I talking about, anyway?
Kai—
What?
Huh? Where's Lemon?
What... are you doing?
Are you talking to me?
What? Lemon?
I was careless.
In pursuit of the lushness of the moment I forgot to hide.
What — are — you — filming?!
A young girl in the heat of adolescence, about to mumble awkward lines of a confessio—
Make some sense, wench!
This is voyeurism!
You're a criminal!
And what's that photo you gave me?
How did you get such a photo of me?
"Such a photo"?
Never mind that!
She ran!
Hold it right there, Lemon!
Stop!
What?
Where is she?
Isn't that her?
We've been looking for you!
Oh, thanks.
The ice melted.
Serves you right.
Kanna!
Why are you two here too?!
Well...
Lemon shanghaied us and—
You came along quite eagerly.
It's all Lemon's fault!
Don't blame me, Kanna!
You were all stalking me the whole time...
You... idiots!
I know that voice.
Where did Tanigawa go?
Sorr—
Takatsuki?
Kaito?
Why are you—
I just...
have something to tell you.
Kaito?
W-Wait!
No!
Why are you running away?
Why are you chasing me?
I have a reason!
So do I!
Where did Kai go?
Did he go home?
How deplorable, Tanigawa.
What are you talking about?
What's with the laugh now?
Why would you chase me so far?
What's your reason?
Last night...
you were about to say something about me, right?
Yeah.
Please, don't.
I'd be in a lot of trouble if others found out.
It would be terrible.
Terrible?
Wouldn't it?
Well, depending on the circumstances, I guess...
See, it would!
Then I couldn't stay at your place anymore.
Not even there...
You really wouldn't need to leave...
Well, it might get a bit awkward at times...
I'm sorry.
I didn't know it would be so much trouble.
Just keep it a secret. Your heart can.
Don't tell anyone.
How could I?!
Really?
I'd seem weak.
Weak?
Of course.
Is it so bad?
I was rejected!
By whom?
Question.
What did you think I was about to say?
That's... really a secret. Can't tell.
You've got secrets?
Question.
What were you about to to say yesterday?
Can't tell you.
Why?
How about you tell me about your secret?
That's not fair. You won't give me an answer.
If you tell me, I'll tell you.
You really don't know?
Really?
Um...
That reminds me I haven't eaten a thing today.
We avoided the issue of yesterday and made small talk.
Hobbies and food we like and such.
Just that.
I realized that our relationship was still pretty basic.
It kind of shored up my confidence.
Really. Don't film me without asking first.
You should get used to it!
You'll be in a movie.
That's true, but still...
Please look into the camera!
Kaito, I have a question about yesterday!
Listening.
Who rejected you?
Well, I...
Who? Who?
I was just kidding. No one rejected me.
Really?
Really.
Then do you have someone you like?
Well...
Oh, I know! It's Tanigawa!
You were hanging out together all day.
No.
Then Kitahara?
No.
Then is it me?
There's no... wait.
Wait.
I looked for a reason why I fell in love for so long,
hoping it would tell me something about myself
When my feelings became apparent,
the knots that tied us came loose and we all lost
If I'd been able to voice it
without hesitation
you wouldn't have to cry now
It felt like a picture of our feelings
could be more beautiful than the shapes of clouds
When I take in the smells of midsummer, I recall all of it
In my memories I can smell nothing but
the wonders someone gave me as a gift
like the drops of an evening rain
You Were amazing.
Episode 4
Lemon, Mr. A. confessed to Ms. B.!
And Ms. A. to Mr. B.?
Ms. C. is in trouble!
I have no idea who's who.
