Let's end the experiments.

I said, let's end them.

I won't be seeing you again.

Is Aihara-kun absent today, too?

Yeah, this is the third day.

Yeah.

Summer colds can be a real problem.

We don't have many defenders.

Aihara has been working hard recently, too.

Morning.

Morning.

Where's Mao-neechan?

She went out already.

She said it was a date.

Eh? Again?

Sorry for the wait.

Did you wait long?

No, I just got here.

I'm glad.

Shall we go?

Yeah.

Recently, Mao-neechan has been going out every day.

I don't even notice when she leaves,

and when she gets home, she locks herself in her room.

We rarely see each other apart from when we're filming.

I see.

Before, when she had nothing to do,

we would talk and she would force me to play games with her.

I'm not sure what's going on now.

But, isn't it fine?

That just means she's very close to Kai-senpai.

Well, I guess so.

I'm kind of jealous, since I want to...

Become closer to you, too.

That's right.

I've got to treasure Hoshino-san.

Is something wrong?

Hey, Kai-kun...

Kiss me.

What is it?

Ah, it's nothing.

What should we do today?

Let's see... There aren't any films I want to see.

It's been a while, so how about we do that?

That?

Racing games.

Let's not do that today.

Mizusawa?

Look, look! That's a cute store!

Hey, let's go take a look.

Coming!

I came to visit.

Sakino...

So you didn't have a cold.

Yeah, some things happened.

Isn't it still time for practice?

I got permission to come see you.

I see.

Sorry for making you skip practice.

What are you saying? It's your chance to be on the starting line, too!

You've been working hard lately, haven't you?

Is it about Futami-san?

I heard about the experiments.

You should just stop with those experiments.

She doesn't think anything of you.

So...

I see...

I guess it wasn't anything special to her.

She told me that she's ending the experiments.

And that she won't be seeing me anymore.

Aihara-kun really cares for you!

And you're doing experiments?!

Just what are you thinking?!

Do you have fun playing with a person's feelings?!

You're the worst!

I thought I'd try to get closer to her bit by bit.

I just don't get it.

Futami-san always looks like she's alone, right?

But I thought that in reality, she was just feeling lonely.

I thought I'd try to get closer to her by doing experiments, or whatever.

Is it because we live in different worlds?

Thanks for listening.

I feel a bit better after letting it all out.

I'll come to practice tomorrow.

O-Okay.

It's my fault.

It's because I said all that to her.

This place is really nice, after all.

Hey, did you put it on?

This?

It isn't really my thing, though.

Come on, don't say that.

See? We match.

It's pretty, isn't it?

Yeah.

Hey, Kai-kun.

Do you like me?

Yeah.

Maybe I like you, too.

Did something happen?

No, nothing.

It isn't really my thing, though.

Ah geez, I'll go take a bath.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Where's Mao-neechan?

In the bath.

We missed each other again.

Geez, why are you crying, Kouichi?

There's no reason to cry after reading a picture book.

I'm crying because it's so sad!

Geez, it can't be helped, then.

So give this book to me.

If I keep this, you won't cry anymore, right?

All right, it's a promise, then!

What is it?

I just noticed...

Summer is almost over.

You're right.

Did you finish your homework?

No, the filming took up all my time, so I couldn't do it.

Actually, me too.

I haven't written my book report, either.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

I haven't decided on a book yet.

Do you want to go look for one later?

Okay.

Which one should I pick?

This is...!

"Anna Karenina."

Is that by Tolstoy?

I've always wanted to read this.

Maybe I should pick this one.

I have that one at home, so I'll lend it to you.

Really?

Yeah, I'll bring it tomorrow.

Thank you!

Here.

Thinking about something?

Yeah.

A few things.

You have to work today, right?

Yeah.

I see.

Did something happen, after all?

Mizusawa?

So you're not going to tell me.

Am I that untrustworthy?

That's not it.

It's time for my job.

Pressure him from the side!

You shouldn't be sliding there, Aihara!

Take him head on!

Yes!

Ah, hello? Shijou-san?

There's something I want to ask you.

I'm home!

Can I come in, Mao-neechan?

She hasn't come back yet?

Let's see, Anna Karenina...

Ah, there it is.

You want to go back to Japan by yourself first?

Yeah.

I thought it'd be good to transfer into the third year at a Japanese high school,

and it'd help out with university exams, too.

That's true, but...

Can you live by yourself?

It worries me.

Maybe I could live with Kouichi, then.

Am I so untrustworthy?

That's not it.

Eiji!

You can go up now!

Okay.

Welcome home, Mao-neechan.

I-I'm home.

We finally meet.

Did you need something?

I don't need anything, but we've been missing each other, right?

You're always going out on dates.

What are you saying?

You're busy with dates too, aren't you?

You're all smiles.

You look like you've been having fun.

That's not it.

I found "A Dog of Flanders" earlier.

So you still held on to it.

It's kind of nostalgic.

I just happened to have it.

It just happened to get in my luggage.

Mao-neechan?

Hello?

It's me.

I'm sorry about before.

No, I'm sorry as well.

It's because I was worried.

I was worried because you looked sad.

So, I said a bit too much.

Sorry.

No, thank you.

But it's really nothing, so don't worry.

All right.

Bye.

Yeah, I'll see you again.

Cut!

Okay!

You were great, Mao-neechan!

Three scenes in a row without any "No Goods!"

I seem to be in top shape.

I guess I'm really getting into the role now.

Ah, you're like a real actress!

Good luck on the next scene!

Let's move on to the last scene for today.

Move out!

Mizusawa-senpai was so cool!

Hoshino-san!

Here's that book.

I thought I'd give it to you before I forgot.

Thank you!

Did you make any progress on your other homework, Sanada-kun?

Not really.

Actually, I didn't do anything.

Scene thirty. Cut two. Take one.

Ready, start!

What is it?

Did you love him that much?

It doesn't matter to you.

Don't say it like you understand.

I do understand.

I understand...

Because I've only been looking at you since we were young.

That's why I won't let you cry again!

Mao-neechan.

What's wrong?

It's nothing, go away!

It's okay.

I'll make Nello and Patrasche happy for sure!

I won't let you cry again, Mao-neechan.

Cut!

Okay! Good work, you two.

That line was pretty embarrassing to say.

What are you saying? You wrote it, didn't you?

Well, yeah.

I'll have you be responsible for it.

Hey, hey, let's light up some fireworks!

You came fully prepared, Nana-chan!

Go get some water, onii-chan.

Why me?

Director's orders.

Go get some, Aihara.

Damn that Nana, she doesn't even care about me.

Did I try to understand her?

Her feelings...

Which one are you going to pick, Naru-chan?

Which one should I pick?

All right.

What's wrong, Sanada?

No, I was wondering where Mao-neechan went.

She said she had something to do and left early.

Something to do?

Here's the water.

Mizusawa...

What's wrong?

Didn't you film today?

It's done already.

Come on in for a drink.

Mizusawa...

Um...

I...

I can't go out with you anymore.

Why do people fall in love?

Peoples' feelings change.

You will only suffer when you care seriously for someone.

If so, you should stay alone right from the start.
