Original subtitles

Chiaki.

Um…

Miu.

Hey.

Didn't expect to see you walking around here.

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, is this about Mr. Kousaka?

What are you talking about?

Did you fall for him?

Don't drink too much, and go home.

Bye.

That path is tough to handle.

I already know.

I was never good with farewells to begin with.

I couldn't even throw away my old, tattered shoes.

Coming.

Hey.

-Hey, Tetsuo. -I was drinking nearby.

Come in.

Neither of us meant anything special to each other.

-Can I stay the night? -Yeah.

You can stay, but we can't do it tonight. I'm sorry.

What?

Are you serious?

-Yeah. -What should I do?

Call me some other time.

That's why there were no breakups to begin with.

Okay. Bye.

Hey.

Don't you get bored of making statues of Buddha?

Before I knew it,

I couldn't remember what it felt like to like someone.

Upon closer look, you're pretty good looking, Osakabe.

By never getting serious with anyone,

I protected myself.

I like you.

I want to go out with you.

Just keep that in mind.

The truth is, I want to cherish you…

but nevertheless…

CAN I GO SEE YOU RIGHT NOW?

Hello?

Okay.

Sorry.

EXHIBITION IN SPAIN BY REN KOUSAKA AND CHIAKI IMAI

Um…

Hello.

Sorry. She's my childhood friend.

She came back after being away for a long time.

Let's meet tonight.

Do you have time?

No.

But…

-yes. -Which is it?

Depends on why we're meeting.

I have a work-related favor.

What is it?

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for helping me out, Ms. Hamasaki.

Come in, Mr. Kousaka.

Can't you sketch a human body without any model?

I can draw my own hands and feet.

But capturing a woman's delicate foot

requires practice.

Do you do this to people who aren't your girlfriend?

Is there any meaning to making things official by going out?

There's plenty of meaning to it.

Stop it.

I just want to stay with you like this.

Stop it.

Hello.

What is it?

Okay.

Don't overdo it.

Bye.

I thought I was able to become his special someone.

But…

I'm just one of the many butterflies.

We received a request from the students.

Request for what?

Regarding Mr. Kousaka's special lecture.

-Are you serious? -They want him to do another one.

They just want to stare at his face.

-But he's a good teacher. -Yeah.

I wonder if there's anything he's not good at.

-Maybe he's a horrible singer. -Stop it.

-Miu. -What?

Enemy on our radar.

-What? -Over there.

-It's a little short. -Yeah, the neck is short.

-It's hard to tell what it is. -You should make it longer.

I can't tell what it is.

Hey.

Mr. Kousaka, you can't bring a girl and shatter our dreams.

This is Chiaki Imai. She's a curator.

She'll be helping out the Art Festival this year.

Nice to meet you. I'm Chiaki Imai. Looking forward to working with you.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

You're Ms. Hamasaki, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to formally introduce myself earlier.

I will be participating in the upcoming Art Festival.

I'm Chiaki Imai.

Um…

-You and Mr. Kousaka-- -Chiaki.

-Stop wandering off on your own. -Sorry.

-I'll take you home. -No, I'll walk home.

I can't let you do that.

Then I'll accept your offer.

Sorry for disturbing you.

Not at all. Thank you for your hard work.

You too.

-Excuse me. Can I have some rice? -Sure.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.

-What? -Tetsuo?

Why are you here?

Why did we stop meeting up?

I don't think there was a particular reason.

It all worked out in the end.

I don't remember anything we talked about.

I don't think we were ever that interested in each other.

How's it going lately?

What are you up to?

Lately?

What?

Well…

Someone told me straight out

that he likes me, and I'm troubled by that.

Why are you troubled by that? Why?

Have you ever told someone straight out that you like them?

Well…

probably not.

-Thought so. -Yeah.

-Me neither. -Thought so.

What?

-What is it? -Nothing.

-I just remembered something. -What?

He's the really overwhelming type.

Someone overwhelming is perfect for people like us.

-You might be right. -Yes, I am.

Thank you.

-Welcome. -Mr. Suzuki.

-The three of you are such good friends. -Aren't we?

Welcome. Hi.

-Three, please. -Table for three.

-Oh, it's that trio. -Hey.

-Hey. -There they are.

Welcome.

-Hello. -Hey there.

Would you like to join us?

-Yeah, let's. -Let's all eat together.

Thank you.

LUNCH MENU

By the way, there's a new piece by Kamakura Banksy.

Really?

-I saw it too. -You did?

-When will they get caught? -Yeah.

The culprit's pretty persistent.

What's Kamakura Banksy?

Lately, an unknown artist is leaving street art around this area.

Yeah, like this.

I like this one.

I don't want to accept this as art.

-There's this one too. -They're great artwork.

-This is the new one from this morning. -This one?

It's rare to find cynical artwork in Japan.

-Yeah. -I agree.

-It's pretty. -Yeah, it really is.

There's a fan club on Instagram.

Are you serious? Unbelievable.

It's that amazing, huh?

I bet you this artist is crazy.

-The crazy ones are the hottest. -No way.

I wonder.

But the police have opened up an investigation on this.

I can't understand anyone who would ruin their lives for something like this.

Good work.

You too.

Chiaki is fast becoming a popular figure.

She treated all of the students to a meal just now.

I see.

Um…

Can I ask you one question?

What did you want to talk about?

You're Kamakura Banksy, aren't you?

Yesterday's Banksy artwork

was done by you, right?

It is.

I did it.

How did you find out?

I found out by looking at the shoes in this artwork.

I told you about how I couldn't throw away my favorite shoes.

You remembered that story.

Why did you think it was me?

Because it reminded me of a butterfly.

-This is the new one from this morning. -This one?

-Yeah. -Wow.

I thought it was Mr. Kousaka.

You seemed to be the type that hates this kind of stuff.

It's too direct.

If you're going to do it, draw something better.

Hey.

Why are you doing this?

It was half admiration toward Mr. Kousaka…

Hey! What are you doing? Stop right there.

…and the rest is…

-Do you know about Kamakura Banksy? -What is that?

Let me show you.

It was a statement to express my existence.

It's a turn off, isn't it?

I'm actually relieved.

To know that a part of you is a little jaded.

I don't know much about relationships and stuff,

but I might want to give this relationship thing a try.

You're so warm.

Let's do this, boyfriend.

Don't call your boyfriend by the third person.

Nice comeback.

Why did you do it?

Why did you splash paint on the statue?

I wanted to show that to someone.

Yesterday's drawing was done by you, right, Ren?

Why…

did you do it?

Because I wanted to draw.

Is there a need to express your talent in this manner?

What do you mean by "in this manner"?

I believe that Mr. Kousaka

can throw his hat into the ring

and play fair and square without breaking any rules.

Ms. Hamasaki,

you're striving to be an artist, right?

What?

Isn't it restricting to live within set boundaries?

I…

don't think art is only about pushing beyond the boundaries.

I don't want you to tell me

about our world of art with such a narrow-minded view.

Chiaki.

Ms. Hamasaki, you can afford to think that way.

I…

just want to see an artwork that reveals Mr. Kousaka's true self.

What do you think, Ren?

I'll be going now.

I should've known from the very beginning,

but I held onto expectations

and got hurt all on my own.

I'm an idiot.

Miu.

Don't go.

Hey there.

At times like this,

people can't help but look for comfort in other people's kindness.
