I really do like you.
Well?
Do you want to have sex?
No. This wasn't what I planned.
Well...
then consider this an early Christmas present.
Do you not want me?
It's not like that.
But.
Seto.
Iori?
Why are you hesitating?
Why?
You can do it.
I just can't!
I don't want to do this.
Please go home. Alright?
Think about this logically. This is really strange.
Why do you even like me?
I can't...
explain this feeling.
When we separated at the beach...
I was so sad.
I was so happy when we met again.
I thought we were really destined to be together.
Even though Kensuke hit you...
you defended him. That was amazing.
I really felt...
that I liked you.
This is embarrassing, but I really wanted you to like me.
Why?
Why can't you understand how I feel?
I'm sorry.
I understand how you feel.
But I can't do anything.
I am sorry that I embarrassed you.
So I promise...
I will make this up to you.
Really?
Great! A Christmas Eve date with Seto!
Eve? Date?
You said you would do anything, right?
I never said that.
Do you have plans with Iori?
No.
Then it's decided.
Whatever.
I was able to hold myself back.
I didn't betray Iori.
"I"s"
"Episode Eight -For you"
I see you are still working hard for nothing.
I've decided to go to the same university as Iori.
By the way, Ichitaka...
it is almost Christmas Eve.
I have plans.
With Yoshizuki?
Don't act tough.
I am going to a Christmas party with Yoshizuki and Morisaki.
Listen. If I can bring Morisaki out with me...
a lovely Christmas Eve alone with Yoshizuki awaits you.
Well?
No way.
There is no way Iori would go to a party so close to exams.
-I am going. -What?
At first, I thought about inviting Nami and the others too.
But I thought that there would be fewer interruptions this way.
What? Interruptions?
It's a secret. Don't tell anyone.
Okay.
Mid-way through, I want to let Teratani and Yuka be alone.
What?
Yuka said that it was tough to ask him out directly.
This would make it easier on her.
What?
Does that mean that Morisaki actually likes Teratani?
Quiet!
One, two, three, two!
Or is it on one?
You're so silly. Don't do that.
Seriously? This is a shock.
Let's go.
That shouldn't be any trouble.
I'm sure that Teratani would like to be alone with her.
After all, he is trying to leave us alone too.
That's right.
Once our job is over, we can just go home.
But let's enjoy the party up until then!
What?
Go home?
Or we could have an after-party together.
I guess we can think about that then.
Yes.
Yes!
A Christmas alone with Iori!
Sorry.
You can't cancel now. You made a promise.
I feel bad, but we can do it another time.
I refuse.
Christmas Eve is a special day for couples.
Wait. Who is a couple?
You have plans with Iori, don't you?
Seto is the worst! He played with my heart!
I told you. That isn't it.
7:00 p.m. I'll be waiting by the fountain.
I told you! I can't!
I'll make it up to you later! Okay?
How about a Christmas cake?
Sorry for the wait.
-No. -Hello.
-Hi. -Let's go.
Wait.
Izumi won't actually come, will she?
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
How much fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
What are you doing? Join us!
Right. She is doing this for Morisaki.
I don't want to.
That's pathetic. Quit it, Yoshizuki.
They rejected me.
Sorry, Seto. I know that was embarrassing for you.
I refuse to let Iori be the only one embarrassed.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Go!
What is wrong with you two?
Hold hands and sing with us!
It can't be helped. Do you want to?
No. Just let them do it.
-Let's go. -Right.
I see.
You chose the three-hour course.
Four customers.
Teratani is only thinking about connecting Iori and I.
-Thank you. -Let's go!
Ta-da! Champagne!
Alcohol?
It is possible that Teratani would reject Morisaki.
-I brought a cake too! -Amazing!
Then, Morisaki would get very upset.
Right.
Iori would naturally go home.
I'll open it up.
In order for Iori and I to be alone together...
I need to connect Teratani and Morisaki.
That is the problem.
Here we go!
Amazing!
-Merry Christmas! -Merry Christmas!
Let's sing.
Let's do a team contest.
Morisaki, you can be on Teratani's team.
Okay.
Right. Iori is thinking about Morisaki.
What? Yoshizuki?
Did you just want to sit with Seto?
What is that?
Teratani!
Bad timing.
It seems Teratani wants to be on Iori's team.
Yuka.
Even Morisaki.
I need to make a move.
Okay.
Yoshizuki.
Do you like me or something?
Fine.
I'll take you out on a date.
I knew it! You like Iori!
What?
Morisaki! I am doing this for you!
Look at you two lovebirds.
Quit joking around. Of course not.
He's blushing.
I know.
What should I sing?
How about a Christmas song?
You have it wrong, Iori.
-Christmas song? -That's right.
Let's pick out a fun one.
-Are there any fun ones? -Shouldn't there be?
What should we sing? What is good for Christmas?
We take the long road home.
We walk along the street filled with sunflowers.
On the far hill.
What is this? We didn't even need to do anything.
They're doing just fine.
We follow the flowers
What? It's six?
Seto. Are you drunk?
I'm not drunk.
You drank so much.
I'm a bit drunk myself.
Iori? I mean, Yoshizuki.
What?
Iori. Or Yoshizuki.
Which do you prefer?
Either is fine.
You are so kind, Yoshizuki.
Quit that! You aren't getting anywhere like that.
You're not even interested.
Not interested?
Of course I'm interested.
No good. You are completely wasted.
Yoshizuki.
Is there someone you like?
What?
Don't act dumb. Say it in front of everyone.
Everyone? They left.
Of course not.
What is this?
I instantly sobered up.
What?
I can't remember anything.
Why do you want to ask about who I like?
What?
Yoshizuki. Get. Her. Now.
Right.
Don't panic.
This is the perfect situation.
I'll tell her how I feel.
No matter what.
Hm? Why?
I mean...
You mean what?
I...
like you.
I said it.
I finally said.
If I open my eyes, the world will be completely changed.
Will it be heaven?
Or hell?
I like you too.
It's heaven.
We actually liked one another.
And Teratani, Yuka, Nami and Koshinae.
Our class is filled with great people. I like them all.
But it is sad to think that we will all get split up soon.
Yoshizuki. That isn't what I meant.
Look! We won all of these in the crane game!
-Amazing! -I know, right?
Teratani is so good at it.
-I was surprised myself. -Amazing.
My world...
is neither heaven nor hell.
You got so many.
This is reality.
-This one is cute. -Right?
-These are similar. -Yeah.
Reality is not so sweet.
Even on Christmas Eve.
Was Yoshizuki really drunk?
Wasn't she just acting?
No, but...
You need to confirm the truth.
Okay? Don't let go of this opportunity.
Right?
Morisaki!
-Let's go somewhere together. -What?
What?
Good idea!
I wanted to spend time with Seto anyway.
-What? -What?
Teratani. Look after Yuka.
Okay.
Iori is trying to use this...
to let Morisaki and Teratani be alone.
Get over here.
What is happening?
She is clearly into you.
Unfortunately, that is not the case.
What?
Teratani.
-Go! -Bye.
Bye. Teratani. Let's go.
Okay.
Later.
I'll carry that.
Thanks.
-Don't drop it. -I won't.
-Where do you want to go? -Right.
Good luck, Yuka.
Right.
-Really? -Really.
How is it?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
I'm just curious how couples spend Christmas.
Right.
Even if we are not a couple...
I am happy to spend Christmas with Iori.
Does Teratani like anyone?
I don't know.
We haven't talked about that recently.
I see.
Will Yuka be alright?
Teratani is surprisingly tough to read.
If only he acted like you.
What?
How am I easy to read?
Everyone in class knows...
who you like.
What?
Nami is the only one who misreads you.
She thinks it's me.
-That's funny, right? -What?
Sorry. Don't worry. Nami is just terrible at these things.
Don't worry. Really.
I know that you like Itsuki.
Sorry.
I said too much. I am so stupid.
I'm just blabbing.
In any case, our job is done. I'm going home.
Wait.
Do you want to get something warm to drink?
What?
-Here. -Thank you.
Was she drunk or acting?
I will find out the truth.
Yoshizuki.
Are you still a little drunk?
What?
Was I really that drunk?
Which is it?
I will find out.
What? You don't remember?
It was really tough to deal with you.
Oh no. Really?
Sorry. What did I do?
You kept asking me...
to ask you who you liked.
What?
You said that he was wonderful, fun to talk to.
You said that you thought he liked you too.
Liar.
No matter how drunk I got, I wouldn't brag like that.
What?
I know he doesn't like me.
So Iori does like someone.
This is the first time...
that Iori has told me how she felt.
No wait.
It is possible that it's me who she likes.
Okay. This is the moment.
I will tell her how I feel.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
What about your promise with Izumi?
I didn't make any promise with her.
What?
She said that you two were spending Christmas together.
You better not be fooling around behind her back.
That's not it.
We did promise, but I cancelled and said I'd make it up to her.
Liar!
She was so excited about your date.
What?
Don't act dumb!
What are you doing? He said that he cancelled.
Seto? Are you alright?
I'll kill you if you make Izumi cry.
Hey!
-Who is Izumi? -Shut up!
Yoshizuki. I...
You should go.
What?
I told her I wasn't going.
But you did promise her, didn't you?
You should go.
No. I won't go.
It is better not to go.
What?
I don't intend to date Izumi.
But she might be waiting.
He said that she was looking forward to this.
Right! You should just see if Izumi is there.
We don't need to hang out anymore.
Teratani and Morisaki seem to be getting on well.
I was wondering something.
Did you cancel the date with Izumi because of Yuka?
It's my fault for springing this weird plan on you.
I'll go.
Okay.
Yoshizuki.
I'll come right back. Wait for me.
I am 99 percent sure that she doesn't like me.
But if Iori waits for me...
I'll bet on the one percent and tell her how I feel.
If she leaves, I'll just give up.
She's not here.
She's not here!
Of course she's not here!
I'm over here.
Izumi.
You are so kind, so I took a chance on you changing your mind.
But you really made me wait.
I was about to freeze to death.
She waited for me the whole time.
If I go back, I know I'll just get hurt.
If so...
maybe I should just go on a date with her.
No.
That would just hurt her.
Listen, Izumi.
It's fine. You don't need to say it.
You're with Iori, aren't you?
You should go to her. I'm just satisfied you came.
You're satisfied?
What would you have done if I hadn't come?
I would have decided then.
I would just have been disappointed that you didn't come.
But I'm not giving up.
Since you came, it means that I still have a chance.
I'll take it like that. Bye.
I'm so dumb. She left.
There is no reason she would stay here for me.
Seto?
I didn't think that you would actually come back.
-Listen. Yoshizuki. -Sorry.
Could you wait a minute?
What?
You can go home if you want.
Something came up.
What is it?
Nothing. Bye.
Wait!
Please, Seto. I'm sorry, but let's call it a night.
Enough, Iori.
I don't care if he knows.
Morisaki?
-Seto. -What is it?
Tell Teratani...
that I hope he dies.
Yuka.
It's over.
No. It was long over.
It was over when I went to see Izumi.
Yuka.
Yuka was so nervous the whole time. She must be tired.
We never did exchange presents.
We did. Teratani made it into a raffle.
What?
You were too drunk to remember.
I got...
the present you brought.
Really? Then...
-whose did I get? -That was from me.
I see.
So Morisaki got Teratani's present.
She is holding it so carefully.
Why would Teratani reject her?
He doesn't even understand himself.
It just doesn't go well.
We did plan out a lot.
But I guess if love was that simple...
the world would much different.
Reality is harsh.
In the end, I wasn't able to express my feelings.
To who?
What?
Who were you planning to tell your feelings to?
You.
The next station is Meidaimae. Meidaimae.
Please exit from the south side.
Yoshizuki!
So that's that.
This isn't fair.
How can this end like this?
We won't be able to talk anymore.
It doesn't matter.
Nothing matters.
I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
Do not run on the train platform.
You switch directions at the next station.
Listen.
Will you go home?
What?
Do you want to come to my place?
This isn't a dream, right?
Iori likes me.
I can't believe this.
It's incomprehensible.
-Sit wherever you want. -Okay.
Stop.
Why? This is fine.
I like you, Iori.
I like you.
No.
I need to take a shower first.
Seto?
Sorry. Sorry.
-What's the matter? -What?
Um...
Do you want to go home?
-For tonight. -I came this far.
At least give me a cup of tea.
I'm home.
What?
Are my parents out?
Excuse me.
-Wait. -Okay.
Come in.
Excuse me.
-Please sit wherever you like. -Okay.
It's still pretty cold in here.
Well, you did just turn on the heater.
That's true.
Right. I'll make tea. What do you want?
You don't need to worry about that. I'm not thirsty.
Okay.
What? Didn't she say she wanted to come in for tea?
I know how Iori feels now.
Why am I so nervous?
It is getting warm in here.
That's right.
-I'll take that. -Thank you.
You saw it, didn't you?
What?
Saw what?
Those sexy magazines.
You're grossed out now.
You're a man. It can't be helped.
Seto?
I always...
wanted to do this.
I thought she would never feel the way I do.
Seto. Watch out.
We're like sumo wrestlers.
You're heavy, Seto.
I can't stop myself. Iori.
I always...
always, always dreamt of you.
You were so cute.
You even appeared in magazines.
I thought you were too good for me.
I never imagined...
we would ever talk, let alone touch.
We did end up getting closer.
And I feel incredibly happy about that.
But there was always an invisible wall.
There was a distance between us that I couldn't travel.
But now, the distance between Iori and I has disappeared.
Seto.
What?
Can you turn off the lights?
I didn't expect this.
Sorry.
I'm sorry about this.
No. It is my fault.
There is an order to this.
You do this after you are a couple.
So let's...
become a couple.
I should have realised earlier.
This night was filled with miracles.
This will only happen once in my life.
