Your glasses.
I'm sorry.
Last night...
I had sex with Mr. Kanai.
A person who can readily do what I can't.
She is robbing me of everything.
Even though she doesn't really want any of it.
Hey, what does it feel like to
play with peoples' emotions?
Welcome to the X-Dimension
I want to treasure the most What is most precious
But even something so simple Is the one thing I can't do
"If destiny is real
Then you are the person I'm destined to be with"
Those are the words I can't say Because I'm scared it will destroy what we have
Even when you're near, you feel so far
This feeling that comes and goes
"Give up" "Don't give up"
The petals I pick are never-ending
The treasure box remains locked
Embracing the sparkling feelings
Hiding the faintly colored fragments in my sighs
If our eyes meet Please, don't look away
See through this lie I've locked away
I don't know how much more I can take
So please don't say anything yet
It hurts
I love you so much it's scary
Playing with peoples' emotions.
I wonder if it's something...
that feels good to do.
You wouldn't believe how much.
In that case...
I want to take everyone obsessed with you
and make them my own.
Then we'll be...
Even if somebody gets hurt?
I know that...
I know that I'm only thinking about myself.
But I just can't stop.
I want the feelings people have for her.
I want to beat her.
If I don't, I know I'm just going to become empty inside.
Feelings aren't things to steal or be stolen.
Shut up.
There is no way doing that will make you feel fulfilled.
Just shut up!
I know that I'm pathetic.
Brat.
I know I'm being self-righteous.
Mugi, I think we should date.
Okay?
We really get along.
I'm sure we'd make a good couple.
I think you'll fall in love with me too.
You're not coming home with me?
No, I've got something to do.
Oh, Hanabi.
What did you want?
I know that I'm thoughtless and selfish.
Ecchan, I've...
I've decided to start dating Mugi for real.
But you're the only person...
Ecchan, you're the only one I can't bring myself to use anymore.
Because you're my only friend. You're so important to me.
So what?
Just use me.
Oh, don't look at me like that.
Not at this point.
You knew, didn't you?
Have you started to realize it?
This is what I'm prepared to do.
I won't see you after school alone anymore.
Really? Okay.
That's right.
I've done something I can't take back.
I'm too scared to look back.
I can't look at what kind of face you're making.
I'm sure I'm supposed to look.
It's my responsibility to...
It's the least that I can do...
But then why...?
Oh, why?
I won't.
I won't
let you go.
Teacher's Meeting: Free Study
My head kind of hurts.
I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
Oh, you want to go to the library too, Ms. Yasuraoka?
Oh, sure.
I feel like reading a book.
It's so noisy in here. Want to go together?
Yeah. If you bring it up with the teacher...
Library
Oh, you came too, Ms. Ebato.
Can I join you?
Be our guest.
Why?
Oh, right.
She's trying to act normal for me.
We can at school, though, right?
Hey, no talking here.
Oh, sorry.
Whoops, we got in trouble.
We should be quiet.
I want you to forgive me.
I completely took advantage
and pushed my selfish wishes on you.
I deserve this punishment.
You should have told me you had a fever.
You didn't give me a chance to tell you.
Sorry.
No.
We have to stop doing this.
There's nothing to worry about.
Nobody else knows about us.
Hey, Hanabi.
Why did you start things up with Awaya again?
Is it really to get your crush's attention?
There's somebody that I like.
Oh, that's...
You're already so attractive the way you are.
Who would you go through all this trouble for?
It makes me jealous.
That's not true.
It is true.
What makes you great is your danger.
Getting a man to fall for you is easy.
So it makes me want to watch.
Watch you fill with darkness.
And no matter how corrupted or hurt you become,
I will always accept you.
What you do is pretend to open up to them.
You don't really have to.
Not actually.
You'll break if you don't keep your feelings closed off.
What if I want them to know my true feelings?
What's wrong with having yourself be the only one who knows who you truly are?
That moment,
I don't know why, but I felt that she might say the same thing.
So, what does that mean?
There was something sad about Ecchan's words.
Which means...
everyone is sad and lonely?
Even her?
Hanabi.
Hanabi. You're awake, aren't you?
Can you go to the store for me?
Did I forget anything?
I'm sorry.
Hey, you're Akane's student.
Oh, from the diner.
Hey, you forgot about me, didn't you?
You've got some nerve.
Don't touch me, don't get near me.
Oh, wait. He's one of Akane's...
Pretend to open up to them.
Of course I remember you.
You must live nearby.
Getting a man to fall for you is easy.
Hey, why don't you give me your number, Hanabi?
Oh, wait. Weren't you with your boyfriend at the diner?
No, we're not like that.
Really?
Well, let's go out sometime, then.
Is that all I need to do?
Will this really fulfill me?
Message from Mugi.
You're wearing your uniform.
I just came from school after all.
I'm playing up being a high-school girl.
KARAOKE
You're cute, aren't you?
I bet you get that a lot.
Oh, I don't like where this is going.
He's going to try to kiss me.
No, nobody ever says that.
That's right...
I've been wondering about something.
What's your relationship with Ms. Minagawa?
Akane?
I mean... she's got others, you know?
She'll never be mine.
So spend some time with me, Hanabi.
The hell is that?
He's just one of many to Akane.
And he's fine with that if it means getting to spend time with her.
Now he's trying to do the same with me, recruiting me to his group of girls.
This won't do.
This is just sad and pathetic.
I want to beat her.
So?
I...
I'm a virgin.
Would you still love me?
I mean, can't it be me?
Yes, I need you to look at me like that.
Want me.
Fall for me and forget about her.
I don't know what it's like to kiss someone you love.
That might be the same as not knowing much in this world.
You know?
I mean...
every time I'm touched, I realize that I'm so empty inside.
I lock up my real feelings
and hide them deep inside
to make sure nobody ever finds out.
You want to go to a motel?
Why?
Oh, did I read this wrong?
I thought you wanted to go.
I'll be gentle.
That's not the issue.
Then what's the issue?
It's a matter of feelings or something.
If the body feels good,
then all that emotional stuff will come later.
That might be the case.
It felt really good when I touched Mugi, thinking about Brother.
But...
I'm sure that at some point,
part of me must have been longing for Mugi himself.
I'm so weak.
You're thinking about something complicated.
No... No...
What?
I'm scared that things that feel good will make me stupid.
What's wrong with that?
I don't think someone superficial like you will be able to understand.
Ouch, that's harsh.
Maybe I'll just leave.
Crap, he might walk away.
Why am I making him walk away?
What are you putting on airs for?
Are you not sexually confident enough?
Then I guess that's all you're worth.
What's wrong?
I'm still...
I'm still scared, so...
Right.
Sorry, sorry. We can take it slow.
That was close.
I almost just caved there.
Let's just get more comfortable with each other. Little by little.
Okay.
I'll pretend with you as much as you want.
Then you can fall for a fake version of me.
I'll call you later.
I'm exhausted.
There's something I've learned.
Unlike me, she had enough self-respect to have a high amount of self-worth.
It can't be shaken.
Compared to her,
I'm trying to get back my self-respect through other peoples' opinions.
This is a big difference.
Placing my self-worth with other people.
But the stupidity that makes people feel their whole world will end by the simplest of rejections...
Making them feel that way is what love is.
They say that Daddy left because I was born.
Who said that?
My relatives.
My Daddy made a new family somewhere else.
I guess he didn't want me.
You did absolutely nothing wrong.
Sometimes no matter how much you love someone, things just fall apart little by little,
until you can't be together anymore.
No matter how much you love them?
Like even you and me?
That will never happen with us.
Never?
I mean, because
this will never become romantic.
I don't know what it's like to kiss someone you love.
Summer Vacation
All right, everyone to the gymnasium for the closing ceremony.
Okay.
What's up?
Hanabi's popular with guys,
so you'd better not let your guard down.
What?
You did too, didn't you?
I did.
No, we just decided to go out for real.
I don't know who she was with, but she has to have ended it by now.
Am I being cheated on?
It should've disappeared by now.
I'll just have to leave another one.
You wanna come by my place?
No, I can't. I have to get up early tomorrow.
She kisses normally.
Maybe she got better at hiding it.
Oh, this is good.
To be honest, my tramp detector is going off like crazy.
Mugi.
Hey, haven't seen you in a while, Moca.
That girl doesn't really want you.
You're always so honest
and unexciting.
Maybe so.
If you actually love her so much that you don't care,
then I would be able to move on.
But...
You don't!
So why can't it be me?
I've got no problem with that.
Wanna go out on a date tomorrow?
Come on, don't cry.
I'm not the Prince Charming from your fantasies.
Would she cry more if I said that?
That'd be going too far.
I hate to admit it, but I'm soft on Moca.
Okay, let's go out on a date.
This is the first time you've ever asked me.
I love you enough that I can live with that.
TAKUYA: ARE YOU FREE? HANABI: NO
TAKUYA: I WANT TO SEE YOU.
If I get in my bed, close my eyes,
and count a few sheep...
it'll be the start of summer vacation
by the time I wake up.
Let's escape from the solar system
And cross it in parallel lines
Stretching out in parallel lines
Like our shadows
You can blame the times we live in
For your lack of courage
Searching for a place
Where there is a wish not going anywhere
I want to be the words
That pour out of your lips
Let's escape from the solar system
And cross it in parallel lines
Taking along impossible wishes
And our timid voices
Once we're drained of emotion
I can start to imagine
I will reach out to our shadows
Parallel lines
