Good morning!
Good morning.
What?
The meaning of this sign is "what."
So right now... Are you asking me "What?"
So, what is it?
What do you mean by "what"?
Thanks for the other day...
Because of you, my heart was able to calm down.
Your heart calmed down...
"Have a nice day."
Have a nice day?!
What's wrong?
Did you get rejected by the princess?
What exactly am I to her?
She wanted to see me, so I ran to go see her, then she says "Thanks, I was able to calm down."?!
Am I like a medicine for her stomach aches? Or something to reduce her fever?
When did you run to her?
You're good at listening to the parts you only want to hear, Shohei.
Yeah, I just try to get to the point.
Well, it was the other night.
And then, what happened? Was there a confession of love of some sort?
You could say that...
So are you guys going steady now?
That's what I thought...
I had to muster up a lot of courage.
What?
Well, you shouldn't really have to be courageous to go ask a girl out.
But I guess it's different with Sae.
That's right.
I had that determination, but...
It'll be all right.
Dad will definitely be fine,
and I'm here for you.
Shohei?
What's wrong?
Hey, I was in the area...
In the area? This is Nagoya!
I came to eat at a local eatery.
Keita... Who is it?
Oh, he's a friend of mine from college, Shohei Aida.
Nice to meet you.
You came all the way from Tokyo?
Ah, no. I know this guy can't even stand to get a shot,
so I was worried whether he could stand being here for his dad's surgery.
Oh, I'm sorry...
For calling your son squeamish.
No, no... Thank you for going out of your way from Tokyo to come.
Oh, it's nothing.
Wow, this is amazing! Mrs. Matsuda you're doing great.
Keep going, go slowly.
Just a little more, oh!
Are you all right? Let's sit down.
Wow, but that was wonderful! You walked all the way from there to here.
Thank you.
In two weeks, you were able to go from there to here, to walk 10 meters.
So in the next week, you'll go to over there. Let's aim to walk 15 meters.
Hey, Kai-kun?
Yes?
I'm not in a hurry.
Even if you say to walk from here, to over there, it just makes me nervous.
You look so happy when I make it,
but when I don't, you look so sad...
Like you failed an entrance exam.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you like that.
When you get old, you don't feel like rushing anymore.
You just want to recover slowly, taking your time.
I'm sorry.
I didn't understand how you feel.
It's fine, you shouldn't be able to understand, you're still young.
The surgery was a success.
Thank you very much!
We removed all the malignant parts, so there's nothing to worry about now.
He's still a little out of it because the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet,
but he's able to talk.
SAD has symptoms of joint pains, fatigue, and lack of sleep.
These symptoms often have an impact on those who are within close range, such as the family.
Sorry, I don't understand what's written here.
I don't understand sign language.
Oh, did I make a mistake?
Man, this is such a hassle...
Thank you very much.
I said I'd go with you to the next class too, but...
Is it okay if I don't?
Because honestly, it's too much work.
Can you just tell them that I went with you and helped you?
I might have to drop a class,
and I'm trying to earn some points through independent study.
Thanks, see ya.
I saw you guys.
You're pretty popular with the boys, aren't you? You and that guy together...
Stop it.
What do you mean?
Let's grab some tea.
...then I thought, "Oh, that's actually true."
Once you're an old lady, it's not like you have school or work to go to.
There's your daughter-in-law back at home, taking care of things...
So, you can just take your time slowly recovering.
It made me realize that you really don't have to be in a hurry in that situation.
What?
So basically, it's impossible for you,
to understand the feelings of the disabled.
You're perfectly healthy,
so you cant understand the feelings
of those with physical limitations.
Well, that may be true, but I want to understand.
You just feel good by thinking, "I can understand their feelings."
Are you picking a fight with me?
You just feel good by being kind to the less fortunate.
And?
If you still have more to say... Let me hear it.
Just tell me all the mean things you want to say at once.
That's why you were nice to me in the first place.
You felt sorry for me, it was pity...
But as time passes, you will become tired of dealing with me,
because I can't do anything on my own.
I can't even take a course by myself.
You just want to feel like you're a good person,
by being nice to people you pity, like me and that old lady.
Deep down in your heart, it's that simple.
I don't think I can believe that you love me.
Are you being serious?
Is what you just said, your true feelings?
Yes.
Is that so... T-Then it's fine.
I asked you to have tea with me because I wanted to ask you out, but forget it.
I didn't know you thought of me that way.
However, it's not like that.
Everything you just said, isn't true.
But, if that's how you feel then it can't be helped.
We... can't go out.
It's an office job, but most of your duties will be at the computer.
Hagio, your senses are sharp and you're smart.
I think you'd be good for the job.
Thank you very much.
Oh yeah, does this kind of thing bother you?
Requesting three hearing impaired people.
Professor, I started a job playing the piano.
Oh yes, I heard about that.
I'd like to try my best there.
Is that so?
That's good.
Sorry, I know you went out of your way...
No problem.
Young people move, both their hearts and bodies move.
Time flows fast for them, and they push those waves with vigor.
Sometimes, I wish I could go back to that time,
when I also ran, and my heart jumped like that.
Is it hard to imagine?
Even I, had a time of brilliant youth.
Did you get in a fight with Kai-kun?
How...?
The wind carried rumors to me.
My misfortune is my own.
I don't want to involve anyone else.
Are you planning to go on living by yourself?
If I can.
That may be a good thing.
It may be a good thing, but it's sad.
Even so,
I want to go on living by myself.
If your friends heard that, they would all be sad.
Everyone is not that weak.
Especially Kai Yuuki, he's not that weak.
At least, that's what I think.
To cry over others' misfortunes...
To rejoice over others' happiness...
To love someone...
To get angry...
Isn't that what it means to live, Sae-san?
Oh, thank you.
It's gym class now.
You skipped?
I answered the role call for you.
For real?
Treat me to something...
Because you know, answering the role call for someone could get me a C.
Mmmm, this is so good!
You eat a lot.
It makes it hard for me to apologize.
Well, I thought that we should eat a lot to celebrate our reconciliation.
I'm sorry about before.
It was also slightly my fault.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You just told everyone that they
should learn sign language for me.
I should've told everyone when you were there, too.
"Hey, Sae might not understand some parts, so let's try to use sign language where we can."
I should've said it clearly, when everyone was there, including you. That would've been more fair.
I'm sorry that you went our of your way.
You were the one who learned sign language for me.
When I lost my hearing,
you were my only friend who didn't distance them self,
and didn't change.
But, you got angry because it was me, right?
What do you mean?
It's definitely because you have many areas where you're holding things in and putting up with them.
That's why, we should be honest with each other.
Even if we fight, we can always make up again, like this.
I think Kai-kun is the kind of person you can be honest with as well.
Let's not go there.
Why?
Because you're a girl Akane,
if we get into an argument we can make up.
But Kai's a boy, so...
I'm scared that he'll come to dislike me.
I think Kai would go with you anywhere.
It's probably not the feeling of "liking" anymore, but love.
I don't have that kind of confidence.
That's not because I'm deaf,
it's because I'm only a girl.
"Only a girl"?
Right.
When I like a guy, I become only a girl.
Yeah, I understand.
Tada!
As all of you may know, this is Akafuku.
These are bankatanoshi crackers.
And this is for you Kai, miso-grilled udon.
You brought a lot back, huh?
Well my dad has completely recovered,
my mom was so happy, she bought too much.
Hey, what about for me?
Well, what we have for you, Shohei...
Is this!
Shachihoko?
Yes!
The symbol of Nagoya.
At our wedding reception building we have this on our roof.
And whenever someone gets married there, we always give them one as a keepsake.
Believe it or not, this is real gold.
Wow, as expected of Nagoya!
They give away really nice gifts at their weddings.
Yes!
But why this for Shohei?
My old man told me over the phone to give this to him.
Because he came all the way out for my dad's surgery.
Oh, I just had some time to kill... Plus, I wanted to eat some hitsumabushi.
It was good, wasn't it?
The hitsumabushi is the best at Houraiken.
When you come to Nagoya, you gotta go to Horaiken.
But, I'm glad that your dad's surgery was successful.
That's true.
Wow, this is gold.
You know, I...
I think I'm going to move back to Nagoya after I graduate.
What?
I realized after my dad got sick...
It's my turn to look after my mother and younger brother.
Therefore...
But what about your job search?
Yeah...
But in the end, I was eventually going to take on the family business.
It's just getting pushed up earlier, not much of a difference.
But it's NOT not much of a difference.
What?
After you leave, we'll all be sad.
Hey, stop it. It's still a while in the future, after we graduate.
It's not that far in the future.
It's only nine more months.
But in any case, after we graduate, we won't be able to all see each other like we do now.
I mean, we'll probably still call each other and get together, and drink together.
When we have free time, we'll peek into the lounge, and think
"Is there anyone around? Oh, it's just Shohei."
Those things all going to go away soon.
What is it, you guys?
Don't get so down! It's not that sad of a story!
Here, look at this Shachihoko! It's really gold.
Tell your dad thanks.
Okay.
Hey, let me see.
What, what?! You're stretching my shirt!
Just come with me!
What is it?
You gonna lock me in here? You like that kind of thing?
I just don't want anyone to hear.
Oh, a declaration of love?
Is that the only thing that's in your head?
What is it?
Those words actually may have stabbed me in the heart.
It was just a light jab.
I saw it more like a straight-counter-punch.
That's difficult to understand, so don't say that.
No, it's not that difficult.
You know, I wanted to ask you for advice on something.
Oh yeah, Shohei you're a good person...
Going all the way to see Keita's father like that.
Oh, I had time to kill.
It's okay, you don't have to act cold like that.
It just takes longer to talk.
That's you! You're the one who should just get to the point already.
"You?!"
All right, you, miss princess.
You know, I think Sae and Kai really like each other.
What is this, are we middle schoolers?
But you know, I think Sae loses confidence,
and destroys things on her own. That's just the way she is sometimes.
Her heart is kind of sprained in a complicated way.
Oh... I kind of understand.
Because you're like that, too.
You know, when you ask something of someone, you should be more polite.
Anyway,
I was thinking that we should set up a good chance for them.
A way that they could come together, just the two of them.
Somewhere that's kind of romantic.
In this way, these movies turn history into stories within movies...
Right, the ocean.
The corn is sweet, the ocean is huge, and it feels great.
Who are we going with?
Well, we'll go with everyone in the Orange Society.
Let's go. Don't think about it too hard.
I mean, please go?
Why?
I want to go to the ocean.
Then go by yourself.
No, not like that.
I want to go with Shohei.
For real?
I finally decided to be honest with my feelings.
You girls there!
What are you two doing, being sneaky with your sign language?!
Sorry!
Wow, that's a great idea! Let's go!
Sae and Akane are both going, right?
This is going to be one of the memories of youth!
That time we went camping was so fun, too.
Wait, Keita, I don't think you should be getting that excited.
Why not? You're going, aren't you, Kai?
After I graduate, I'm going back to Nagoya.
Then we won't get to go to the ocean together as the Orange Society anymore!
We have to make good memories, you know?
Kai!
Are you okay?
Let's go slowly.
What's wrong, Akane-chan?
I just ran into her on my way here, but she's saying that her stomach hurts.
Are you all right?
I felt fine until a little while ago... Ouch, ouch!
I'll rush her over to the hospital.
Then we can take my car.
No, it's okay! You wait here for Sae-chan.
As for Keita, pick him up at Mishiku intersection at 9!
We had so much fun last time.
Yes, yes... Shanghai honey.
I like it cute.
Hey, Shohei? Oh, I'm about to leave.
What?
I suddenly had to work.
Well, that can't be helped.
I'll just have fun with the rest of them, then.
Yeah, that's what we thought, too but...
Akane's not feeling well either, so we thought that it might be better
to just cancel for today.
What?!
Sorry about that.
Well, I guess it can't be helped then.
I understand.
Oh, Shohei? How is Akane-chan?
Oh, it was just some mild constipation.
Ouch!
So she said that she's going to stay home today.
Ah, I see.
And I'm going to bail, too.
You know, I'm worried about her, and a proper guy would see a girl home.
Ah, I see.
So you two can go and have a fun time.
What about Keita?
He says he's going to stay home after all, too.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, that's how things turned out. Bye!
What did he say?
It's canceled. Everyone couldn't make it.
I'll drive you home.
It's a shame, since you went out of your way to rent the car.
It can't be helped.
How come you aren't using sign language today?
How am I supposed to sign while driving?
No, from before that.
Because I'm angry.
I'm angry at you.
"You just feel good being kind to those who are inferior to you."
That's what you said last time.
That's how you described our relationship until now.
If there's anyone who wouldn't get angry after hearing something like that, I'd like to see them.
I can't read your lips.
I've lost hope in you.
Hello? Are you okay?
Thanks, I'm okay now.
All right, that's good.
Hey, Kai-kun...
What?
You know, Sae doesn't really mean those things.
Sometimes, she says horrible things that aren't in her heart.
She's scared of you eventually disliking her,
so she says things that'll make you dislike her right away.
So instead of her words, try to understand Sae herself.
That's too much to ask of me, I can't do it.
Sae really likes you a lot, Kai.
I'm entering the highway now. I have to go.
Right, left? Which way?
My house?
No, the ocean.
Right.
Roger.
Look at me.
There, that's it.
Yes, I'm sorry. Yes. I don't think I'll do it anymore.
Thank you for everything.
Who was it?
Oh, a guy I worked with as a cameraman.
That reminds me, you haven't been going to your work lately.
Yeah, I decided to quit.
Why?
"Why?" I wonder why myself.
Maybe I'm not cut out for it.
It looks like I don't have the talent either.
Talent?
You know, watching Sae makes me envious.
She knows what she wants to do, and she has the talent for it.
Even though she's deaf, she still does it.
I guess it takes willpower.
Maybe she'll become a famous pianist someday and make lots of money.
Hey, watch out.
Don't act like you know everything!
Your ears can hear fine, and you say things like that!
How hard do you think it was for Sae to overcome her loss of hearing?!
Do you know what kind of feelings she's been living with since then?!
Sorry.
If you're friends with her, if you really know Sae, don't say things like that.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that...
And even though it was a joke, I'm sorry.
Ouch, that hurt!!!
What?
I just hit that... Right there.
I guess it's not as fun with just the two of us.
It was so much fun last time, when we did it all together.
Well, since they tricked us, they're all not here.
Tricked us?
So that the two of us would go to the ocean by ourselves.
Really?!
Yeah. I mean, it's all too weird... Suddenly getting stomach aches and stuff.
Stop!
Stop right now!
Wait, that's dangerous! Hey, that's dangerous!
Sae! Sae!
What are you trying to do?
I'm going home.
I'm not going on a date that we were tricked into!
Going home?
We're already at the ocean.
Ow, that hurts!
You're a man, don't make such a fuss!
Yes...
And what are those clothes you're wearing?
My clothes are unrelated...
Ouch!
Here are the x-rays.
Yes, thank you.
Ouch.
What? It hurts?
It hurts.
Ah! You too?
Wait a second, I'll examine the one in the floral pattern first.
Huh... Well, it's floral, but...
You have a fracture.
What?!
But it's not a big deal.
Now it's your turn, Miss Pink. Here, have a seat.
Ouch!
What have you two been doing anyway?
Some kind of couple fight?
No! No!
Here, you go.
Hey, that's dirty!
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Right now, Kai and Sae are having a great time.
That's not fair.
We both got fractures in our fingers.
Really.
Aren't you hungry?
I am!
You thought I'd treat you just now, didn't you?
Huh?
I don't have money, so it'll have to be a family restaurant.
You sure eat a lot for someone with a fractured finger.
The same goes for you.
You know, I kind of understand too.
The way you envy Sae.
Sae has talent, and knows what she wants to do.
Sometimes she shines so brightly.
I can't find anything that I want to do...
And the more I search, the harder it is to find something.
The outline of my future is blurred.
I'm just putting off life.
Somehow It feels like you're talking about me.
Why? You already found a job for after your graduation.
I don't have anything.
It's just that they'll give me a decent amount of money,
the company's a little well-known,
and the training times are a little later in the day.
I picked my job according to standards like that.
That's why watching Sae, I feel rushed.
But you know... You may find something there.
That's true. Thanks.
Hey, you know.
After you put a fracture in my bone, I've come to like you even more.
Don't say weird things like that.
Oh, sorry!
Give me your hand.
Thank you.
I'll see you later.
Do you want to come up?
Or would you like to stay for the night?
You're pretty bold.
I'll go home for today.
I see.
I need some resolve...
In order to get into that kind of a relationship with you, I need to be resolved...
In many ways.
I can't be the way I've been.
I have to straighten things out, and get a hold of myself.
Then I'll...
So wait for me.
I'll wait.
Let's do these next.
Let's do the dragon next.
Right now?
There's an order to things like this, we should do that last!
Oh, be quiet.
When I was little, after the mice fireworks, we did the dragon.
What kind of a weird place did you come from?
Anyway, it's still early. We should wait until it's darker...
Let's stop signing.
They'll think that you can't hear as well.
They all say things, as they're watching and passing by.
Let them say what they want to say.
No, that's not good.
I don't mind.
The reason you don't mind is because your not deaf.
That's why you shouldn't go out with me, you'll get laughed at.
I don't care if I get laughed at.
I don't like it.
I don't want you to get laughed at because of me.
If I think about it, you're not my type at all.
And you shouldn't go out with someone so pitiful,
someone like me who can't even hear or talk.
I don't get what you're trying to say at all.
You and I are different!
Let's stop trying to play it off like we get along.
Thank you for putting up with me until now!
Sae!!!
Sae Hagio!
You have a bad mouth!
Your personality sucks!
Your face may be cute, but you're not that popular with the guys!
But I love you!
I love you!
How is it?
You, who can't talk, may not look that cool, but I'm shouting at the top of my lungs,
and I look uncool too! Everyone's watching!
How is this?!
I'll say it as many times as it takes!
Sae Hagio! I love-
Stop it.
You surprised me.
Say that... one more time.
What?
Say that part again.
Which part?
That "I love you" part.
You're really sly.
I love you.
I was always scared of the darkness of sound...
I'd cry for someone to turn the light on.
But... I couldn't say it.
Did the light turn on?
It's only a small 5 watt bulb, but...
It turned on.
I'll never turn it off.
I love you.
I'm glad I lived to this point.
I'm happy I was born.
I was able to meet you.
Are you sure you don't want me to take you home?
I'm fine.
What's wrong?
I just got a little dizzy.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Once I get home, I'll text message you.
At that point in time,
I had no idea what was about to happen to the two of us.
I hope it reaches you
Todoite kureru to ii na
届いてくれるといいな
In a place you don't know, I'm playing a tune of my feelings for you.
君の分かんないところで 僕も今奏でてるよ

Put these two notes together and they make a harmony.
I repeat "Thank you" and "I'm sorry" over and over again.

Our longing like building blocks we stack them up.

A small faint light burns in our hearts.

We should treasure that which we vowed.

That is what I'm thinking.
