-Good evening. -Good evening.
Terrace House is a show about six strangers living together,
and we observe how they interact.
All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobiles.
-There is no script at all. -Yes.
In the last episode, we welcomed three new housemates.
It's almost an entirely new cast.
First off, we have Violetta Razdumina.
-Also known as Vivi. -Right. Vivi.
What do you do?
I'm a model and an actress. An aspiring actress.
Were you born in Japan?
I was born in Germany, raised in Russia.
-She's absolutely stunning. -Super cute.
-Shochan is gaga over her. -She's awesome.
-You like her, huh? -She's so cute.
-Her dream is to act in Hollywood. -I get it. She's beautiful.
I love basketball.
-I used to play in middle school. -Wait, really?
-Does he know how you feel? -I haven't said anything.
You should corner him with a kiss.
Her suggestion of cornering Ryo demonstrates how forward she is.
-She likes grand gestures of love. -I'm here for it.
Let's see more of that.
I question whether that's truly who she is.
We'll see if her words match her actions.
-It could be bravado. -She might actually be shy.
With her looks, being shy would be a killer combo.
I could see that.
Then we have 25-year-old Kai Kobayashi.
-He does standup comedy... -Ladies, you love him already.
-He's very intriguing to me. -Isn't he?
There's something mysterious about him.
Are you Japanese?
-I'm half Japanese and half American. -I see!
Do you also speak English?
I do. I do standup in English.
I see a pattern here.
Guys who speak languidly and have prominent Adam's apples
are like catnip to you.
That's what your research says?
-Tone of voice matters. -His energy is distinct.
Though we haven't heard any jokes from him yet.
-We have plenty of time. -We shall see.
We don't know them well yet.
-And then? -Lastly, we have Tupas.
Last name Johnkimverlu. 22 years old.
-Your parents are both Filipino? -They are.
-I'm an assistant to Lily Franky. -Really?
Ryo is currently using this bed.
-You can choose between these two. -Top and bottom.
Oldest goes first. You can choose, Kai.
Tupas is a self-proclaimed introvert,
and he has a feeling that Emika is similar to him.
She must have older-sister energy.
I can't kick this feeling that Tupas will wreak havoc.
-You mentioned that. -It's just...
Emika just confessed her feelings for Ryo, but now she's saying
she likes Kai's looks and voice, and that he's intriguing.
She's also into how grounded and handsome Tupas is.
-Emika was never... -What's the truth?
It wasn't like she was in love with Ryo.
Of the members who were there previously...
In that group, he was the most enticing,
but now that there are new faces, she's having a change of heart.
We predicted that Ryo might fall for Vivi.
She loves basketball, and those looks...
They haven't met, but when they do...
Plus, he said he has dated a non-Japanese person before.
-She matches the profile. -And she speaks English.
This might become quite the challenge for Hana.
-You bought so many things. -I'm making miso soup.
Yay.
Wait, what was I trying to make?
-Um... -What are you making?
-Oh, yeah! Frittata! -Frittata?
Do both of you cook pretty regularly?
I cook almost every day.
I go through phases. Sometimes I cook every day.
And sometimes I get lazy about it.
I have to excuse myself and get going.
Okay.
Where are you off to?
I'm going to Lily's house to do some cleaning.
-You also clean for him? -He calls you over to do that?
-He's currently traveling in Fukuoka. -Okay.
-I take care of his home when he's away. -I see.
I kind of want to go, too.
-Me, too. It'd be interesting. -Right? I'm curious.
-Have a good time. -Thank you.
See ya.
I HAVE MATCHES IN SHIN-KIBA! -HANA
-How are you getting along? -Both girls are really sweet.
HEADED TO TOEIC EXAM -EMIKA
I'm glad. I was super nervous yesterday.
I'm really looking forward to my time here.
-It should be fun. -I think so, too.
-I'm excited to meet Ryo. -Right?
Is he coming home tonight?
-I don't know. I haven't heard anything. -Okay.
I think it could be today.
-Do you make miso soup often? -I haven't made it lately.
-I used to a lot when I lived with my ex. -I see.
Do you currently have a boyfriend?
-No, I don't. -Okay.
-Do you have a girlfriend? -No, I don't.
What kind of person was your ex?
She was mixed with German and...
German?
-And Japanese. -Okay.
I'm mixed with German, too.
-You are? -My father is German.
-I see. -Yeah, straight from Germany.
I'm a mix of German and Russian.
-Do you speak German? -No, I don't.
-Never learned? -No.
What do you like to do on your days off?
On my days off?
-I've been wanting to try ceramics. -Ceramics?
-Making ceramics. -Oh, I see.
-I've seen drop-in classes. -Nice.
-Sounds super fun. -Yeah.
-I think I'd be hooked. -Me, too.
-This looks delicious. -I hope it lives up to the hype.
It can't be that bad.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
I'll start with the miso soup, too.
-It's delicious. -Yeah?
It's comforting.
-So comforting. -Is it?
-Is it good? -It's great.
-Great job. -Cheese saves everything.
If in doubt, add cheese.
Yum.
Do you have a type that you fall for?
-Hmm... -I mean... like, personality or...
I like people who are frank and straightforward.
Straightforward?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Yeah.
Why is your eye contact always so intense?
Why do I make eye contact?
Where should I be looking?
Eye contact is fine. It's just...
You don't blink much and stare deeply.
My instinct is to look away.
-But it's a good thing. -You think so?
I do. Eye contact is good.
I found these old photos.
Of what?
A summer from a while back.
-From a music festival in Los Angeles. -Okay. These are nice.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
-Oh, hello. Are you Ryo? -That's me.
-Nice to meet you. -Hello, hello.
-Nice to meet you. -What happened?
-Well, I play basketball. -Yes, we heard.
-I got injured during a match today. -For real?
-Yeah... -Oh, no.
-What's your name? I'm Ryo. -I'm Vivi.
-I'm Kai. -Pleasure to meet you.
-Likewise. -Thank you.
Are you all right?
-I'm okay... -That's a lie.
-There's no way you're okay. -Obviously.
-It looks serious. -Oh, dear.
What happened?
I ran and jumped, and as I landed,
-I twisted my ankle. -Oof, that can happen.
But please, don't worry about me.
How long will it take you to recover?
It happened during our match tonight,
-and I haven't seen a doctor yet. -I see.
So I'm not sure.
Oh, no. It's hard not knowing the details of your injury.
-Thank you. I'll be okay. -For sure.
Injuries come with the territory. What do you guys do for work?
I do standup comedy.
-Whoa. Great. -I arrived yesterday.
-Just yesterday? And you? -Right.
I arrived yesterday, too.
-I see. -Yeah, both of us.
-The third person is out right now. -The third one also arrived?
We all arrived on the same day.
What do you do?
I'm a model and an actress.
-Aspiring. -Do you act in Japanese?
Japanese? No. I plan to move to America eventually.
-What's your background? -I'm mixed with Russian and German.
I love basketball.
Not that I've seen it.
-You haven't? -Please come to a game.
-I mean I've never seen pro basketball. -I see what you mean.
-But I loved playing it. -We should play then.
Really? You'll be so bored with how bad I am.
Compared to you, I'm useless on the court.
RYO TAWATARI, 26 PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER
HANA KIMURA, 22 PRO WRESTLER
KAI KOBAYASHI, 25 ASPIRING COMEDIAN
EMIKA MIZUKOSHI, 21 J. F. OBERLIN UNIVERSITY SENIOR
TUPAS JOHNKIMVERLU, 22 PERSONAL ASSISTANT
VIOLETTA RAZDUMINA, 24 MODEL
-Your Japanese is so good. -Thanks so much.
-Huh? When did you get back? -Just now.
Welcome home. What happened to you?
I twisted my ankle, big time.
How? Wait, I'll go grab my ice pack.
Thank you. It happened after a jump.
I missed the landing and twisted my ankle badly.
-Oh, my God. -Excuse me as I head to my room.
-They're both athletes. She can relate. -Good point.
-Hello. Morning. -Good morning.
-Nice to meet you. -Apologies for still being in bed.
No worries. I'm Ryo.
-I'm Tupas Johnkimverlu. -Tupas John...
-What should I call you? -Please call me Tupas.
-Tupas. -Yes.
-Pleasure to meet you. -You as well.
-Feel free to sleep. -I'm all right.
-I'm good. I slept plenty. -Don't mind me.
-Excited to get to know you. -Likewise.
Great to have you.
You're my senpai. I will take your lead.
I'm a recent addition, too. I arrived not too long before you did.
Oldest chooses first. That's how the world works.
This house doesn't have such traditional rules.
Please be yourself.
Hello.
Would you like to ice your foot now? Or later?
I'd like to ice it now. Thank you.
Where did those slippers come from?
-Are they Vivi's? -They're mine.
-Fancy, right? -Super cute.
Thanks.
Wait... Thanks for doing that.
Don't worry about it.
-Wishing you a speedy recovery. -Thank you.
How long have you lived in Japan?
-It's been six years already. -Six years?
-You've nailed Japanese in just six years? -Oh, stop.
I'm still not that great with it.
-I've been visiting America often, so... -Where in the US?
-Mainly Los Angeles. -I see.
Los Angeles must have an abundance of opportunities.
There is a wider variety of work I'd like in LA.
-Didn't you live in California? -In San Francisco.
I was there for five years during college.
-Did you learn English beforehand? -No.
-I couldn't speak it at all. -So the same as me then.
-I spoke zero Japanese when I got here. -That's why...
I spent five years there, and you've been here for six.
-Right. -You've excelled more than me.
-We're in the same boat. -My English is really rusty.
-No way. -I can speak, but...
-You get sayings like "fingers crossed." -I guess.
It's hard to explain that to an average Japanese person.
Thank you so much. Sorry to trouble you.
Only you would have an ice pack on-hand in this house.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
-Thank you for this. Yes. -You got it?
Aw, thanks.
-It shows that you're an athlete. -How?
You already know how to help.
I got it from here. Thank you.
-Can I join the chat? -Of course.
Did you already cover everyone's reasons for joining?
-I haven't heard Vivi's reason. -Oh, yeah.
-Please tell us. -Why I applied to Terrace House?
First off, I haven't had a boyfriend for a while.
And...
I do hope to find a long-term partner.
That's part of it.
And I wanted to live every day in a fun environment.
-I see. -What are you about to do?
-I'm getting water. -Sit. I'll get it.
I got it. Seriously.
-Really, you shouldn't. -I'll get it for you, senpai.
Please, allow me.
-You must be crazy. -I'm fine.
You called him crazy?
You're hurt. Please rest.
Thank you. Thanks so much.
I've been drinking so much water.
-Morning. -Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning. What are you eating?
-Something... -Vivi cooked a salad for us.
-I wouldn't call this cooking. -Looks delicious.
-You did cook. -I just tossed it together.
-You "just tossed" it? -That's right.
-Have you seen Ryo? -Yeah, he's here.
-In the boys' room? -I think so.
-Good morning. -Morning.
-How are you doing? -I'm okay, I think.
Seems like you're in pain. Have you had lunch?
No, I haven't.
I'm headed to the grocery store, so I'll go grab lunch for us.
-Are you sure? Thanks so much. -Yeah.
Hang tight.
-Be right back. -Thank you.
-Try not to move too much. -Okay.
What are you having?
Natto with rice.
-Natto with rice? -Yeah.
HEADED TO CITY HALL. -VIVI
-Vivi left already? -Yeah.
-What are you making? -Tofu hamburger patties.
How would a person my age...
even begin to confess their feelings?
How do you verbalize that?
It depends on what you're hoping will happen by sharing your feelings.
If you'd like to date and be considered as a partner,
that part has to be clear.
I see what you mean.
If you just express your feelings for them,
they might say "Thanks," and that would be the end of it.
Yeah, I would hate for it to end with...
a thank you.
Would you be repulsed if I mixed it with my hands?
I can do that.
I got it.
I'm hungry, so I want to help.
-Looking good. -Yeah?
-Is it all coming together? -I think so.
Is this chair easier for you to sit in?
Than that one?
The best situation would be to sit here and rest my foot on that.
-Okay, you should do that. -I think it's rude.
-Can I? -It's the best option.
What should we do about the welcoming party?
Let's throw one. I'd love to.
Can it also be Halloween themed?
-Those are looking good. -Yeah.
-It smells so good. -Yeah.
This looks amazing.
-Let's eat. Thank you. -Bon appétit.
-I hope it's good. -I'm digging in.
-So good. -Really?
I'm glad.
Yum.
How are you doing emotionally?
I wasn't doing well in the last few games. The injury is proof.
I see...
I'm ashamed.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
So many people are inspired...
from watching you play basketball.
I know I am.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
You're like... a superhero.
Not at all.
You're a superhero and your weapon is a basketball.
Not even. I have so much growing to do.
I feel sad watching my superhero feeling low and ashamed.
-I need to snap out of it. -Yeah.
If you'd let me, I'd like to support you while you heal.
Thank you. Making me lunch today has been a great help.
-Thanks for helping. You could've rested. -No need to worry.
-It was delicious. -Sorry about that.
So...
I guess it's been about two months since I arrived here.
I have unexplainable feelings
that I haven't felt for anyone else...
that I didn't feel with Peppe or Ruka.
It's a fuzzy feeling that I have toward you.
-What is it? -I'm not sure.
-You don't know? -Well...
I haven't figured out what it is yet.
But I know that I have fuzzy feelings towards you.
-Fuzzy feelings, huh? -Yeah.
I would like to figure out what they mean,
-and could use your help to do that. -Okay.
-Now is not a good time for him. -She floundered.
How would you feel about a confession at a time when you're feeling weak?
I wouldn't be able to process it.
I'd be worried about getting better and getting back on the court.
-He may be anxious about failing the team. -Right, so...
Quietly helping him process the situation would be the better approach.
From a woman's point of view, I would be grateful and accept the support
from someone who tells you that they want to be there for you,
and who holds your hand when you feel weak.
That's what I was led to believe for the longest time,
to approach women when they're feeling weak.
That it's the same theory as hunting mammoths.
-I'm the exact opposite. -You are?
I wouldn't want to see you if I'm feeling sick.
-I get it. I've heard this before. -Really?
Right?
You don't want someone to deliver Pocari Sweat when you're sick?
-No, no... -You could leave it at my door.
That would be plenty helpful.
I've heard that, too.
If you were to ring my doorbell, I would think...
"Why are you here? What a hassle."
-I've heard this. -For real?
Popular people do it this way.
They would leave sports drinks, for example, at the door
and text to say that they're safe to consume.
I would question whether they really are "safe to consume."
That's so creepy.
No, it's to say, "I left those. It wasn't some random guy."
It really depends on the person.
I would prefer that my partner come visit me.
Hana must be of the same thought.
-We think so. -She's acting on that belief.
-It was helpful to cook lunch. -Right, I'd be grateful, too.
Helping with bandages was also good.
But it was not the right time to confess her feelings.
It's a big ask to say, "Help me figure out my feelings."
-Hana went out on a limb with that. -She tried.
She must be worried about the new competition.
-That makes sense. -Ryo and Vivi seemed to be getting along.
There hasn't been much movement with the rest of the housemates.
Maybe they could cook some bizarre foods.
-That would mix things up. -As for Tupas...
It sounds like "oldest chooses first" is becoming a punchline.
-It's his go-to joke. -Exactly.
I hope he doesn't adopt the schtick of speaking in old Japanese proverbs.
He's a keen learner.
We should try "by any means necessary."
How irritating.
Vivi revealed that she hasn't been in a relationship for a while
and wants to find a long-term partner.
-How unexpected. -Ryo has also said he wants to be married.
If it weren't for the injury, Ryo would be pursuing Vivi.
-You're right. -He'd be more excited?
He would be if he wasn't in a rough place. It's all about timing.
-So true, timing is everything. -I guess it is.
We'll probably see Hana try to be even more proactive,
now that Ryo will be home more often.
That may end up not working in her favor.
Oh, no, Hana...
Through her misunderstanding of the situation,
she might confess her feelings and fail miserably.
That could happen.
Look at all of this.
-It's elaborate. -Someone purchased all of it?
-Hana and Emika got it for us. -Let me pay you back later.
-Sorry to trouble you. -We wanted to do this.
We want to welcome you properly, so please don't worry.
I like pumpkin dishes.
This pumpkin?
-Looks complicated. -I carved this one.
-What? Super cute. -Thanks.
Whoa! That looks amazing.
Well, thanks, but all I had to do was mix in the sauce.
This paella looks so authentic.
Everything looks delicious.
-Right? This soup, too. -For real.
Welcome to Terrace House.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Bon appétit. -Let's eat.
Thank you so much for putting this meal together.
-This pasta is so cute. -Thanks for being here.
You're too kind.
-This looks delicious, too. -The pasta is amazing.
The paella is divine.
-Thank you so much for cooking. So good. -Thank you.
Everyone has squid ink on their lips.
-Thank you. -Thank you?
Yours are completely stained.
So are yours, Patos...
My name is not Patos.
It's not Patos.
Stop, I can't handle this.
I love how swiftly you corrected her.
-This was delicious. -Agreed.
-Even tastier to eat with the group. -True.
-How does this look on me? -It looks good, so cute.
-Looks great. -Mega cute.
I wondered why you chose the ribbon.
I chose with my gut. It caught my eye first.
Super cute. You're almost a spitting image of my ex.
-The pumpkin is? Really? -No! You, Ryo.
-His face is similar? -That and your gestures.
You do things that make me think it's déjà vu.
-What happened? -She said Ryo looks like her ex.
Being told that you look like someone's ex is quite embarrassing.
The way you blink is similar, I think.
He had droopy eyes?
Well, a little bit.
It's hard to find droopy eyes like mine.
-Everything was so delicious. -Thank you for the food.
That makes me so happy.
-I haven't seen the rest of the house yet. -Really?
Like the playroom.
-Which tour guide do you want? -We have to choose?
I guess I haven't spoken with Emika very much.
-Shall we? Let's go. -Yes, please.
-Have fun. -I'll be your guide.
Vivi, are you free sometime soon?
Free time? I have plenty.
-Let's take that ceramics class. -I would love that.
-We talked about that yesterday. -I remember.
-Let's go. I'd love to do that. -When are you free?
Whenever, really.
I wonder where we could go for that? Let's look it up.
-I'll research, too. -I think there are a few places
that have drop-in lessons.
Sounds like tons of fun.
-Let's go. -Yes, let's.
Wow.
-This is it. -Hello, playroom.
Excuse me.
Why so polite?
Well...
Cheers to you?
Excuse me.
-I tend to be pretty shy. -Okay.
So I'm a little nervous.
Sure. We're both shy people. How should we navigate this?
To be honest,
I kind of like these silent moments. I find them comforting.
-Why? Is it like... -But you know,
after some rapport has been built.
Otherwise, it can be awkward.
In my ideal relationship, we wouldn't have to talk all the time.
I get it. You wouldn't have to be on the entire time.
-You could just be yourself. -Exactly.
I tend to be shy, too. I sense that we're similar in that way.
With some other people,
I'd be wondering what they're thinking when there is a silence.
This is comforting for me.
-Me, too. -Glad to hear that.
We should have dinner sometime.
I have all the time in the world.
Me, too.
Well, I can find time in my work schedule.
-I'd love to have dinner with you. -Let's do that.
-Thank you for being my tour guide. -Don't mention it.
Hope to hang out here with you more.
That sounds great.
-I bet it's great to watch movies in here. -Yeah.
I can't wait to see Yesterday.
-You should definitely see it. -Yes, before it leaves theaters.
I wouldn't mind watching it again.
-Really? -Yeah.
Let me know when. I'll join you. Perhaps we could do dinner
-on the same day. -I'd love that.
Looking forward to hanging out with you.
How was your chat?
-Your chat with Tupas? -Right.
Since he chose me as his tour guide.
Was it fun?
-Yes, we made plans for dinner. -Ooh.
He suggested it. We'll make plans soon.
Could you see yourself dating him?
I could totally see that.
What about you, Vivi?
What?
Are you feeling a connection with anyone?
I'm really torn about saying anything.
-What? -I think I already know what you mean.
You should speak honestly. Don't worry about me.
Well...
-Uh... -I don't know... Is it?
I think you're spot-on with your prediction.
Are we talking about the person with eyes like this?
I had a feeling... Like...
Seeing you two interact, I could see there is a connection.
-I thought so... -So...
I like that he's internalized aspects of foreign culture.
Yeah, he's almost fully American on the inside.
Having spent lots of time overseas,
he and I have very similar life experiences.
I see.
-That's one part. -I understand.
I also like that he's financially stable.
For example, if we happen to talk about a trip to Miami,
then it would be easy for us to follow through.
I appreciate having those options.
I would love to spend time getting to know him.
But just as I was thinking that I'd like to hang out with Ryo,
Kai invited me out.
For ceramics, right?
Yeah, I've been wanting to try it and mentioned that to him.
I suggested it and now I'd rather not go.
Maybe I should say, "I changed my mind."
-Would you go if Ryo invited you? -In a heartbeat.
Okay!
-I look like a frog in this photo. -Whoa, that's you?
How intimidating.
-Incredible. -Me? Intimidating? Hilarious.
-This is so badass. -Really?
-That must feel great. -Well...
It's actually scary to climb the ropes of the ring.
-It scares you? -Yeah.
It's super scary, but when in a match...
-Morning. -I just go for it.
-Good morning. -Morning.
Hey, I brought my stuff.
-Stuff for what? -My drawing supplies.
Nice.
You're also an artist?
Not really. I'm not good.
-She's amazing. -For real?
-She's just saying that. She's super good. -Not true.
-I haven't drawn... -That looks very official.
...for so many years.
-Can I see? -So official. Look how big.
-Here. -Wow, really?
-Oh, this one. -Whoa.
This page.
-Isn't this crazy? -It's still unfinished.
-Is this a pencil drawing? -Yes, it's pencil.
You're crazy talented.
Shall we head out?
-Where? -To ceramics class.
Really? Today?
Right now? Wow, that's awesome.
-Have fun. -I'm super excited.
I know we talked about it, but I didn't think it'd happen so soon.
-How exciting. -Let's go.
-The weather is great. -True.
-I'm glad it's not raining. -Yay.
-We're heading out. -Bye-bye.
GO, CERAMICS! -KAI & VIVI
MINAMI-AOYAMA, TOKYO
Impressive building.
Should I have brought something? Is this it?
Yeah, that's the place.
-Wow. -Crazy.
No way. What a fancy shop.
-Let's take a look. -Wow.
Thank you so much.
You looked this up for us?
-Yeah. -Thank you so much.
Here, we have two mechanical wheels.
We'll be using these for your creations today.
Let's start by using a cradling motion at the top of your clay.
We'll use a gentle, light touch.
-Try not to apply too much pressure. -Wow.
-Whoa. -Ooh.
-This feels good. -You're right.
Using your left thumb, gently pierce a hole in the center of the top.
I feel like practicing this would purify my soul.
Right?
Crap, I'm so into this.
I might be hooked-- Oh, no!
You don't have to try to make your earthenware thin.
-We're cleaning up the shape? -Yes. Using your right hand,
-gently push from this side. -Okay, I see.
I got this.
Are you trying to hide it?
You're very funny.
Do you like the size of it?
-I think it's perfect. -Wonderful.
In that case, let's call this done.
-I'm stopping the wheels now. -Okay.
This is the scariest part.
Gently, pick it up...
Very nice.
Yours looks great.
I would love a photo of you in that pose.
Great pose.
Wow.
-Got it? -So cool.
-It looks awesome. -It does.
It came out better than I imagined.
-This was fun. -I had so much fun. Crazy.
-I'd love to come again. -Me, too.
Well, Vivi is on the offense.
-Right? -Hana must be shaking in her boots.
-It's hard to compete with her charm. -Right?
Saying that Ryo looks like her ex could be a tactic. What do you think?
-It could be. -Sure.
But it didn't seem manipulative. It was an honest observation.
His mannerisms must be strikingly similar.
Would that tug at your heart?
-It depends on how much she loved her ex. -Right.
If her memories are still vivid,
-it could feel very nostalgic. -Agreed.
It would capture me.
If she's mentioning it, it must've been a good relationship.
-Most likely. -Good point.
What a bad feeling it would be if you're compared to a rotten ex.
-So true. -"Ugh, you remind me of my ex.
The way you suck on your teeth when you eat. That!"
"Why do you both do that?"
-Sounds so stressful. -"I thought it was just him."
-"I hate that." -"Another loser?"
-That's not the case. -No, not for her.
Kai seems interested in Vivi.
-Seems right. -I think so.
She was ruthless in the way...
her feelings shifted so quickly towards Ryo.
She didn't even want to hang with Kai.
She probably just forgot that they had made plans.
-You think so? -She must've been like, "Oh, yeah...
-We did say we were going." -It slipped her mind.
In that sense, Kai is resilient. If I received that reaction,
I would fold and say, "Some other time would be fine."
He took the lead on making it happen that day.
-I like that about him. -I would recoil.
Then we witnessed possibly the most tepid conversation
to ever happen in the playroom.
It was so austere.
As if they might start a tea ceremony.
Despite that, their connection evolved quickly.
-They seem to go well together. -Right?
-They have similar energies. -Both very quiet.
I get that they like the level of comfort
of being quiet with one another. That can be nice.
But they just met. How deeply awkward.
That was their first solo chat.
I want to know if Tupas is really being himself.
He showed us a sliver of who he really is in that last scene.
He seems like a regular twenty-something.
I was waiting for him to drop the loyal butler character.
He rests on that persona too much.
-What I mean by that is... -The "loyal butler"?
The way he's overly polite with everyone
and says things like "oldest chooses first."
It felt like he was relying on a fabricated personality.
I was hoping he'd drop it soon. But, see?
-It was his first day. -I know, I rest my judgments.
I'm looking forward to interactions between Tupas and Emika.
Me, too.
-I totally get it. -I love their quirkiness.
Emika doesn't seem excited lately.
-I guess not. -I can see why you say that.
-Makes sense. -She must be bummed
after hearing Yamachan's opinions on YouTube.
Social media.
If you're teary, don't watch it. If you see it, grow a thick skin.
You two went out today, right?
We took a ceramics workshop.
-It was so much fun. -How far did you go?
-Aoyama? -Around Aoyama.
-It was fun. -Seriously.
I've been wanting to go for about six years.
I remember saying I've wanted to try ceramics.
Have you been?
I have tried it, and I sucked at it.
Kai was really good at it.
-I tried my best. -You don't have your pieces?
No. We pick them up on December 12th.
-Yeah, they take a while to fire. -I see.
Oh, boy. I love homemade curry.
-I concur. -I'm going to stuff myself.
-This looks amazing. -It has to be delicious.
-Yum. -It's lackluster if you prefer more spice.
-It's delicious. -It's perfect. I don't do spice.
Great.
I can't handle spicy food either.
So good.
It makes me want to cook all the time.
If it means receiving so many compliments.
-I love your cooking. -I'll cook often.
Welcome home, both of you.
Good morning?
How was your day, Ryo?
I saw my doctor this morning.
What did they say?
-I may be able to play again this week. -Wow.
-Are you done? -I'll take dishes.
-Don't worry, I got it... -Thank you so much.
Thanks for-- Whoa!
Hey, hey...
-You cooked, so I'll do the dishes. -It's okay. I got this.
Let's do rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors.
-Okay. But I lost. -Cool.
I won, so I get to decide.
-I won. -The winner does the dishes?
-I won, so... -But you didn't tell me that.
One more time. Rock, paper, scissors.
Right. Please have a seat.
-Go hang out. -I don't want to.
-Okay, I'll dry the dishes. -Thanks.
Why is your right shoulder so sexy all of the sudden?
-What's up with that right shoulder? -Uh-huh, thanks.
-Do you need this? -I do.
-Okay. Yeah. -Thank you.
-What's up? -Nothing. Do you want to chat?
Me? Sure.
-Are you able to walk? -Yeah, I'm fine.
Sorry, I forgot to give you a hand.
You're strong. You can handle it.
-I'm invincible. -Yes, you are.
-You can take care of yourself. -You folded this?
-I did. -You fixed this, too?
-Look at you. -What about it?
It's normal.
Wow.
I want to see your next match.
-Sure. -Yeah.
I look forward to it...
-I want to see you serve a drop kick. -Yeah...
What's wrong?
-What's going on? -Sorry...
For what?
-What's wrong? -Well...
-Can we chat upstairs? -Sure.
It's hard for me to sit here.
