1
00:00:23,666 --> 00:00:26,875
I knew it. That dress looks best on you.

2
00:00:30,833 --> 00:00:32,666
Don't you agree, Ichito?

3
00:00:33,708 --> 00:00:36,375
Your mother looks beautiful in white.

4
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,208
She's been like this
for several years now.

5
00:02:13,375 --> 00:02:15,541
The chances of her regaining consciousness

6
00:02:16,958 --> 00:02:18,416
are low, aren't they?

7
00:02:19,291 --> 00:02:20,291
Yes.

8
00:02:21,791 --> 00:02:24,041
As I explained earlier,

9
00:02:24,125 --> 00:02:26,208
her brain was deprived of blood flow,

10
00:02:26,291 --> 00:02:28,666
causing severe damage.

11
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:31,375
I'm afraid the chances are slim.

12
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:36,250
If anything comes up,
please press the call button.

13
00:02:55,541 --> 00:02:56,750
I should've…

14
00:02:59,208 --> 00:03:01,500
come to see her sooner.

15
00:03:04,875 --> 00:03:06,291
It's not your fault.

16
00:03:21,541 --> 00:03:23,208
Professor Toyohara.

17
00:03:31,666 --> 00:03:34,208
I never thought you'd come here.

18
00:03:36,458 --> 00:03:37,791
I let my guard down.

19
00:03:40,125 --> 00:03:41,958
Why are you here?

20
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,666
Your father and I
were close friends in college.

21
00:03:51,791 --> 00:03:54,041
We eventually drifted apart though.

22
00:03:55,875 --> 00:03:58,291
I even changed your diapers
when you were a baby.

23
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:03,833
After the incident,

24
00:04:04,625 --> 00:04:07,916
I'd come to check on
Sanae from time to time.

25
00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:14,333
Why did you keep quiet all this time?

26
00:04:15,875 --> 00:04:19,375
Because I knew
you were avoiding your mother.

27
00:04:21,208 --> 00:04:23,750
I thought having someone nearby
who knew your past

28
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:26,166
would only hurt you.

29
00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:31,916
All this time, I've been so hard on you.

30
00:04:32,625 --> 00:04:33,708
I'm sorry.

31
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:38,125
I'd selfishly hoped

32
00:04:38,208 --> 00:04:43,916
you'd leave the past behind
and choose a path other than sex therapy.

33
00:04:53,041 --> 00:04:54,291
<i>It was as if</i>

34
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:58,083
<i>time had stopped.</i>

35
00:05:01,791 --> 00:05:05,541
<i>My mother as I remembered her</i>
<i>is still there…</i>

36
00:05:07,958 --> 00:05:09,625
<i>in that room.</i>

37
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:13,333
Sanae

38
00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:17,000
doesn't remember the incident.

39
00:05:19,625 --> 00:05:20,541
What?

40
00:05:21,291 --> 00:05:23,083
It's likely a dissociative disorder.

41
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:26,125
Her time has been frozen

42
00:05:26,791 --> 00:05:28,791
since before the incident.

43
00:05:32,083 --> 00:05:33,791
Even when she was conscious,

44
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:37,833
she always talked about
the day your voice changed,

45
00:05:38,750 --> 00:05:41,625
or when you made her <i>omurice</i>
for Mother's Day.

46
00:05:47,791 --> 00:05:49,208
Professor.

47
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:52,333
Do you know…

48
00:05:54,916 --> 00:05:56,000
why…

49
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,041
that incident happened?

50
00:06:02,625 --> 00:06:04,166
I don't.

51
00:06:07,916 --> 00:06:08,916
But…

52
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:15,833
I did catch glimpses
of the pressure she was under.

53
00:06:17,875 --> 00:06:19,291
Pressure?

54
00:06:22,875 --> 00:06:26,833
Your father was a brilliant surgeon.

55
00:06:28,666 --> 00:06:31,291
You could say he's an idealist to a fault.

56
00:06:33,791 --> 00:06:35,666
Those ideals…

57
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,291
were also imposed on Sanae.

58
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:44,541
He appeared to be molding her

59
00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:48,500
into a beautiful wife…

60
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:54,333
and the ideal mother.

61
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:56,916
Everything from

62
00:06:57,916 --> 00:06:59,541
the clothes she wore

63
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:01,583
to her hairstyle.

64
00:07:04,458 --> 00:07:07,666
I knew it. That dress looks best on you.

65
00:07:10,166 --> 00:07:13,833
That pressure drove her to the brink.

66
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,958
She likely turned to an affair
as a way to escape.

67
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:23,875
Your father couldn't forgive that.

68
00:07:25,291 --> 00:07:27,916
His anger wasn't aimed at Sanae,
who was like a doll,

69
00:07:29,166 --> 00:07:31,500
but at the man…

70
00:07:33,666 --> 00:07:35,750
who stole that doll from him.

71
00:07:42,625 --> 00:07:43,875
My father

72
00:07:44,791 --> 00:07:48,791
probably had a Pygmalion complex.

73
00:07:51,291 --> 00:07:54,750
Pygmalion complex?

74
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,541
In the narrow sense,

75
00:07:59,083 --> 00:08:00,791
it's an obsession with dolls.

76
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:04,833
But more broadly,

77
00:08:05,333 --> 00:08:10,708
it's the desire to shape someone
into your ideal and control them.

78
00:08:16,666 --> 00:08:17,833
All this time,

79
00:08:18,666 --> 00:08:22,291
I thought my mother was the one
with a sexual problem.

80
00:08:24,583 --> 00:08:25,583
But…

81
00:08:26,791 --> 00:08:29,416
the one who had a problem

82
00:08:30,416 --> 00:08:32,083
was my father.

83
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:38,208
{\an8}CTN CENTRAL TELEVISION

84
00:08:38,291 --> 00:08:42,875
<i>These stairs have 40 steps going up,</i>
<i>but only 39 coming down.</i>

85
00:08:42,958 --> 00:08:45,750
<i>The mysterious stairway</i>
<i>known as the "Ghost Stairs."</i>

86
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:48,333
<i>When you walk down them,</i>

87
00:08:48,416 --> 00:08:52,583
<i>the last step is very slightly tilted.</i>

88
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:57,083
The part where you say,
"The last step is very slightly tilted,"

89
00:08:57,166 --> 00:09:00,666
could you do it again
with a slightly more reflective tone?

90
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:04,458
Ms. Ichinose?

91
00:09:06,625 --> 00:09:07,458
Yes?

92
00:09:07,541 --> 00:09:09,375
Are you okay? Need a break?

93
00:09:09,458 --> 00:09:10,958
Sorry. I'm fine.

94
00:09:16,416 --> 00:09:18,083
Morning, Ichinose.

95
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:19,458
Got a minute?

96
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,041
"Women Leading the Future" Week?

97
00:09:26,125 --> 00:09:29,666
The higher-ups came up
with the concept to modernize

98
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:32,166
the network's old-fashioned image.

99
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:36,583
They say it's going to be
a weeklong, network-wide special.

100
00:09:36,666 --> 00:09:39,125
And our show got roped into it too.

101
00:09:45,083 --> 00:09:48,000
As you can see,
nothing's really set in stone yet.

102
00:09:48,083 --> 00:09:51,500
Can you and Mitarai
brainstorm a few ideas?

103
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:53,291
Huh?

104
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,791
Are you sure?

105
00:09:56,875 --> 00:09:58,083
Can I really do it?

106
00:09:58,875 --> 00:10:00,375
Why else would I be asking you?

107
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
I'll leave it to you.

108
00:10:02,750 --> 00:10:04,041
Oh, um…

109
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:06,708
Why me?

110
00:10:07,208 --> 00:10:08,208
Well…

111
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:11,250
Someone said you'd be perfect for it.

112
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:12,875
I'm counting on you.

113
00:10:15,125 --> 00:10:17,583
Oh? Long time no see.

114
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:23,916
Mr. Kazuma.

115
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:25,875
Hey.

116
00:10:26,458 --> 00:10:28,458
Was it you who recommended me

117
00:10:28,541 --> 00:10:30,125
for the project?

118
00:10:30,625 --> 00:10:31,625
Huh?

119
00:10:33,208 --> 00:10:35,125
"Women Leading the Future" Week.

120
00:10:35,625 --> 00:10:38,166
Oh. You're part of it too, Ichinose?

121
00:10:39,083 --> 00:10:40,958
Uh… Yes.

122
00:10:41,458 --> 00:10:42,500
Good for you.

123
00:10:46,375 --> 00:10:49,250
If you need anything,
come talk to me anytime.

124
00:11:20,291 --> 00:11:24,625
I really meant it when I asked you
why you chose to work in sex therapy.

125
00:11:26,875 --> 00:11:28,500
Was this career

126
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:33,666
a path you actually chose for yourself?

127
00:11:38,291 --> 00:11:39,625
Doctor.

128
00:11:39,708 --> 00:11:41,500
Do you have a minute?

129
00:11:41,583 --> 00:11:43,375
It's a real mess over there.

130
00:11:43,458 --> 00:11:45,125
Could you come over?

131
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:46,208
Sorry.

132
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:49,208
Look.

133
00:11:51,625 --> 00:11:54,791
Whoa. What's going on here?

134
00:11:54,875 --> 00:11:56,666
I thought I'd make some dried herbs

135
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:58,833
since we don't have
any appointments right now.

136
00:12:00,125 --> 00:12:03,000
Could you bundle these up?
Three or four stems each.

137
00:12:03,083 --> 00:12:04,500
Huh? Uh, sure.

138
00:12:04,583 --> 00:12:07,291
As for you, Saikawa…

139
00:12:07,375 --> 00:12:08,375
What?

140
00:12:10,125 --> 00:12:10,958
Here.

141
00:12:11,458 --> 00:12:12,458
Huh?

142
00:12:22,833 --> 00:12:24,125
They smell nice.

143
00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:25,125
They do.

144
00:12:25,625 --> 00:12:28,541
Herbs retain their fragrance
even after they've been cut.

145
00:12:28,625 --> 00:12:29,916
A bug!

146
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:33,250
Fresh herbs have
a refreshing, youthful scent.

147
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:36,708
Once dried, their scent becomes
more mellow and concentrated.

148
00:12:36,791 --> 00:12:39,208
-Whoa! A bug!
-You're so loud!

149
00:12:40,375 --> 00:12:44,208
Keep it down a little, will you?

150
00:12:47,041 --> 00:12:48,041
Okay.

151
00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:51,916
No matter what form they take,

152
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,416
the fragrance of a flower
that once bloomed always lingers.

153
00:13:07,791 --> 00:13:09,166
Excuse me.

154
00:13:18,833 --> 00:13:21,333
Um, I don't have an appointment.

155
00:13:21,416 --> 00:13:22,375
Is that okay?

156
00:13:22,458 --> 00:13:23,916
Oh, yes.

157
00:13:33,875 --> 00:13:35,291
I…

158
00:13:35,375 --> 00:13:39,041
attended one of your lectures
at the university.

159
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:49,666
Ms. Yuka Namioka.

160
00:13:50,916 --> 00:13:51,916
Yes.

161
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,666
What brings you in today?

162
00:13:57,375 --> 00:13:59,333
I guess it's a concern.

163
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:03,916
Maybe it's not even something
I should be worrying about.

164
00:14:06,833 --> 00:14:09,208
If it's troubling you,

165
00:14:09,291 --> 00:14:10,916
then it's a concern.

166
00:14:19,666 --> 00:14:23,541
One of my professors at the university

167
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:27,500
started looking at me in a sexual way.

168
00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:30,916
I might just be imagining it.

169
00:14:32,791 --> 00:14:35,958
If you don't mind sharing,
could you tell me what happened?

170
00:14:38,666 --> 00:14:41,041
I'm an undergrad student.

171
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:45,750
I started spending more time in a lab
where I wanted to pursue my research.

172
00:14:46,541 --> 00:14:49,000
The professor was easy to talk to,

173
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:53,791
and he was supportive of my research too.

174
00:14:53,875 --> 00:14:56,000
He started looking out for me.

175
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:59,166
It might sound like I'm bragging,

176
00:14:59,250 --> 00:15:00,958
but that's not what I mean.

177
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:08,833
He started inviting me
to the lab's social gatherings too.

178
00:15:08,916 --> 00:15:11,625
At first, I was happy.

179
00:15:12,875 --> 00:15:17,166
But eventually, he'd start asking me
to lunch one-on-one

180
00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:22,291
and only take me to overnight conferences.

181
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,875
It's not like he ever touched me

182
00:15:26,375 --> 00:15:29,958
or tried to share a hotel room with me.

183
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:34,625
That's why I couldn't tell anyone.

184
00:15:35,625 --> 00:15:38,875
You started feeling like
he was looking at you sexually,

185
00:15:38,958 --> 00:15:40,708
and that made you uncomfortable?

186
00:15:45,458 --> 00:15:47,125
Even at conferences,

187
00:15:47,625 --> 00:15:50,208
he always kept me at his side.

188
00:15:51,541 --> 00:15:53,958
It felt less like
a professor and a student,

189
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:56,166
and more like I was his poster girl.

190
00:15:56,916 --> 00:15:59,541
He even bought me clothes
to wear to the conferences.

191
00:16:03,708 --> 00:16:06,208
He'd often invite me out for dessert,

192
00:16:06,291 --> 00:16:09,041
saying it was awkward
for an older man to go alone.

193
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,333
He likes sweets after all.

194
00:16:13,458 --> 00:16:14,750
Professor Kurusu.

195
00:16:24,666 --> 00:16:26,000
How's this?

196
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:32,791
Think it'll get approved?

197
00:16:32,875 --> 00:16:33,708
Hard to say.

198
00:16:33,791 --> 00:16:36,541
It doesn't have
the kind of hook Mr. Kujo likes.

199
00:16:36,625 --> 00:16:39,750
Yeah. You're right.

200
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,375
Sorry for keeping you so late.

201
00:16:42,458 --> 00:16:45,291
Not at all. I really think
it's a good concept.

202
00:16:45,375 --> 00:16:49,208
So maybe you should try applying
your own style of journalism.

203
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:51,750
Back when we were trainees,

204
00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:54,208
I thought you could even
make it as a journalist.

205
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:57,541
Thanks.

206
00:16:58,750 --> 00:17:01,791
Thank you. I'm so lucky
to have a coworker like you!

207
00:17:03,375 --> 00:17:07,416
By the way, were you the one
who recommended me for the project?

208
00:17:07,916 --> 00:17:09,416
Thank you so much.

209
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:11,416
No. That wasn't me.

210
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,833
Huh?

211
00:17:13,958 --> 00:17:14,791
What?

212
00:17:14,875 --> 00:17:15,708
Huh?

213
00:17:17,083 --> 00:17:19,500
This proposal focuses on
Japan's lagging sex education

214
00:17:19,583 --> 00:17:23,375
and low awareness of sexuality.

215
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:28,208
It still feels a bit too serious.

216
00:17:30,708 --> 00:17:32,041
I'm fine with the concept,

217
00:17:32,125 --> 00:17:34,625
but it needs a stronger hook.

218
00:17:34,708 --> 00:17:35,708
Right.

219
00:17:37,666 --> 00:17:41,041
Japan ranks low on the Gender Gap Index.

220
00:17:41,125 --> 00:17:43,625
Among its categories,
"Political Empowerment"--

221
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:45,583
Again, that's the kind of story

222
00:17:45,666 --> 00:17:48,000
News One runs during the ten o'clock hour.

223
00:17:48,083 --> 00:17:49,791
We're an evening news show.

224
00:17:49,875 --> 00:17:52,041
We need to make it more engaging.

225
00:17:52,125 --> 00:17:53,416
-Right.
-Harashima!

226
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:54,625
-Sorry.
-Okay.

227
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:55,625
Um…

228
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:59,083
Do you all know what
the Pygmalion complex is?

229
00:18:00,416 --> 00:18:01,250
Pyg…

230
00:18:02,083 --> 00:18:03,916
I only learned about it recently.

231
00:18:04,541 --> 00:18:10,416
It's when people, especially men,
treat women like dolls

232
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,375
and force their ideals onto them.

233
00:18:17,416 --> 00:18:19,416
I feel like up until now,

234
00:18:19,916 --> 00:18:24,750
I've been living up to the ideal image
the company and viewers expect of me.

235
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:28,875
But I don't think that's just because
I'm a female announcer.

236
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:31,208
I think it's a sense of discomfort

237
00:18:31,291 --> 00:18:34,125
many women in this country feel
to some extent.

238
00:18:36,125 --> 00:18:40,125
People impose their ideal
of womanhood onto us

239
00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:43,125
and silence us like we're dolls.

240
00:18:43,791 --> 00:18:45,833
And sex is a classic example of--

241
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,083
Ichinose.

242
00:18:47,166 --> 00:18:48,791
It's still serious.

243
00:18:49,291 --> 00:18:50,333
Too serious.

244
00:18:51,958 --> 00:18:53,375
Well…

245
00:18:55,708 --> 00:18:57,166
Basically,

246
00:18:57,666 --> 00:19:01,541
women should talk openly
about sex too, right?

247
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:03,875
Right.

248
00:19:04,458 --> 00:19:05,541
Exactly.

249
00:19:05,625 --> 00:19:06,708
That's it.

250
00:19:06,791 --> 00:19:08,750
So I want to use this opportunity

251
00:19:08,833 --> 00:19:12,833
to cover the topic of sex head-on.

252
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Wow. That's pretty direct.

253
00:19:17,041 --> 00:19:20,458
A female announcer
doing a feature like that

254
00:19:20,541 --> 00:19:22,166
would definitely draw attention.

255
00:19:23,041 --> 00:19:26,541
We can use people's nosy curiosity
to our advantage.

256
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:28,041
Right, Mr. Kujo?

257
00:19:28,833 --> 00:19:30,583
All right. We'll give it a try.

258
00:19:31,208 --> 00:19:32,208
Let's do it.

259
00:19:32,958 --> 00:19:34,166
What about the title?

260
00:19:36,416 --> 00:19:37,250
Anyone?

261
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:41,083
What about "Sex Problems
You Can't Tell Anyone About"?

262
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:43,500
That's good.

263
00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:44,708
I like that.

264
00:19:44,791 --> 00:19:47,541
Mitarai, work with Ichinose
and develop that idea.

265
00:19:47,625 --> 00:19:48,541
Got it.

266
00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:50,583
I'll run it by Programming.

267
00:19:50,666 --> 00:19:52,166
I'm counting on you all.

268
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:53,250
-Okay.
-Thank you.

269
00:19:53,333 --> 00:19:56,041
-Good work, everyone.
-Good work.

270
00:20:18,916 --> 00:20:21,333
The one who brought me onto this project…

271
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,583
Was it you, Miku?

272
00:20:30,416 --> 00:20:31,541
Thank you.

273
00:20:33,250 --> 00:20:34,458
It's nothing.

274
00:20:34,541 --> 00:20:36,958
I just want to make my show better.

275
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,833
Do you remember that time

276
00:20:43,333 --> 00:20:46,458
we were asked to entertain
a sponsor together?

277
00:20:46,541 --> 00:20:47,708
Huh?

278
00:20:48,291 --> 00:20:50,250
One of the clients got drunk

279
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:52,958
and started sexually harassing us
at the after-party.

280
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:55,875
Oh, yeah.

281
00:20:56,416 --> 00:21:01,000
You subtly redirected his harassment
toward yourself, didn't you?

282
00:21:01,625 --> 00:21:03,875
So I wouldn't become the target.

283
00:21:06,916 --> 00:21:08,666
I guess I did.

284
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,958
That really pissed me off.

285
00:21:17,875 --> 00:21:18,791
Huh?

286
00:21:19,291 --> 00:21:21,625
I wanted you to speak up.

287
00:21:21,708 --> 00:21:24,416
I didn't want to see you
getting hurt to protect me.

288
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,166
I wanted you to call him out.

289
00:21:28,083 --> 00:21:29,208
That's not all.

290
00:21:29,291 --> 00:21:32,333
Female announcers should be free
to date whoever they want.

291
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:34,958
Why should a scandal
involving your boyfriend's parents

292
00:21:35,041 --> 00:21:37,416
affect your professional reputation?

293
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:39,958
It disappoints me to see you
put up with it all

294
00:21:40,041 --> 00:21:41,666
and act like a model student!

295
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:48,000
What?

296
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:50,083
Did you just laugh?

297
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:52,416
Sorry.

298
00:21:58,208 --> 00:21:59,208
Hey.

299
00:21:59,916 --> 00:22:01,500
Let's grab lunch sometime.

300
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:04,166
Don't act friendly all of a sudden.

301
00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:06,166
Why not? Let's go.

302
00:22:06,250 --> 00:22:07,791
Come on. What do you like?

303
00:22:09,541 --> 00:22:10,375
Excuse me.

304
00:22:10,458 --> 00:22:14,500
We're asking people around town
about any concerns related to sex.

305
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,541
I'm looking for someone on dating apps.

306
00:22:17,625 --> 00:22:18,500
Excuse me.

307
00:22:18,583 --> 00:22:20,958
This might be hard to say,
but does that mean…

308
00:22:21,041 --> 00:22:22,791
Regarding sexual concerns--

309
00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:25,458
You're really asking us that?
That's embarrassing!

310
00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:30,250
Honestly, I thought no one
would want to talk to us,

311
00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:33,416
but a lot more people
shared their concerns than I expected.

312
00:22:34,666 --> 00:22:36,625
I'm kind of in a sexless marriage too.

313
00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:39,166
Now I'm worried about
what my wife thinks of me.

314
00:22:41,416 --> 00:22:42,833
Now that you mention it,

315
00:22:43,375 --> 00:22:47,083
sexual concerns aren't just
a woman's issue.

316
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:50,791
With so many different kinds of concerns,

317
00:22:50,875 --> 00:22:52,958
we need an expert who can talk about them.

318
00:22:53,041 --> 00:22:55,458
Who'd make a good commentator?

319
00:22:57,666 --> 00:22:59,125
How about Furuya?

320
00:22:59,208 --> 00:23:01,041
-Well…
-Furuya, huh?

321
00:23:01,125 --> 00:23:02,375
Is he not a good fit?

322
00:23:02,458 --> 00:23:04,500
<i>He wanted to do it without a condom.</i>

323
00:23:04,583 --> 00:23:08,166
<i>Aren't you worried about things</i>
<i>like pregnancy or STDs?</i>

324
00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:09,166
<i>I totally am.</i>

325
00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:10,333
<i>Right, of course.</i>

326
00:23:10,416 --> 00:23:14,416
<i>My husband and I haven't had sex</i>
<i>for about two years.</i>

327
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:17,666
<i>So I'm looking for someone on dating apps.</i>

328
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:19,333
<i>You mean multiple partners?</i>

329
00:23:19,416 --> 00:23:20,250
Okay.

330
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:21,208
<i>Yes.</i>

331
00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:23,250
Let's take a short break.

332
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:24,333
Okay.

333
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:34,708
-Hello.
-Hello.

334
00:23:39,208 --> 00:23:41,000
Are things going well?

335
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:42,708
Thanks.

336
00:23:42,791 --> 00:23:43,875
No problem.

337
00:23:45,125 --> 00:23:47,625
Well, the footage is looking good.

338
00:23:47,708 --> 00:23:50,125
We're just having trouble
finding a commentator.

339
00:23:50,625 --> 00:23:52,458
I see.

340
00:23:58,291 --> 00:23:59,708
Yumi.

341
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:04,125
Can I ask you something?

342
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,833
What is it?

343
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:10,458
What's your relationship with Mr. Kazuma?

344
00:24:11,291 --> 00:24:12,291
Huh?

345
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:14,458
What do you mean?

346
00:24:14,958 --> 00:24:16,583
We're just coworkers.

347
00:24:16,666 --> 00:24:18,416
That's not what I mean.

348
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,416
What do you think of him as a man?

349
00:24:23,208 --> 00:24:24,208
What?

350
00:24:26,166 --> 00:24:27,958
Could it be you like--

351
00:24:28,041 --> 00:24:29,083
I don't.

352
00:24:30,291 --> 00:24:31,416
Not at all.

353
00:24:31,916 --> 00:24:33,416
-I thought so.
-Yeah.

354
00:24:35,458 --> 00:24:38,708
But you've gone out
to eat with him, haven't you?

355
00:24:39,833 --> 00:24:42,750
Only because he's my senior.

356
00:24:45,125 --> 00:24:46,125
Huh?

357
00:24:46,875 --> 00:24:48,000
No way.

358
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:49,500
Are you telling me…

359
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:55,208
I think he definitely has a thing for you.

360
00:24:56,625 --> 00:24:57,875
I see.

361
00:24:59,083 --> 00:25:00,833
If that's true…

362
00:25:03,083 --> 00:25:04,083
that's pretty bad.

363
00:25:04,166 --> 00:25:05,708
Yeah, it is.

364
00:25:06,208 --> 00:25:09,083
Who would even do something
like that nowadays?

365
00:25:09,166 --> 00:25:11,583
I mean, use their seniority
to cross the line?

366
00:25:11,666 --> 00:25:13,166
You never know.

367
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:18,500
Guys like him can be
surprisingly oblivious about that stuff.

368
00:25:18,583 --> 00:25:19,625
I'm glad.

369
00:25:19,708 --> 00:25:23,750
The last thing I wanted was
to have drama on my show.

370
00:25:23,833 --> 00:25:26,166
I was a little worried about you two.

371
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:27,916
Don't worry. There's no way.

372
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,583
-Right?
-Yeah.

373
00:25:29,666 --> 00:25:30,833
No way.

374
00:25:30,916 --> 00:25:33,791
Honestly, what a relief.

375
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:37,625
I told you it's a misunderstanding!

376
00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:44,250
She's not saying it was sexual
or academic harassment, is she?

377
00:25:45,416 --> 00:25:46,333
No.

378
00:25:46,833 --> 00:25:48,666
-It's just…
-Look.

379
00:25:49,458 --> 00:25:51,416
If she doesn't want to come,
she can say no.

380
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,541
I'm not forcing her or anything.

381
00:25:57,125 --> 00:26:00,750
As a student, there are benefits
to attending conferences.

382
00:26:01,250 --> 00:26:05,291
And there's a clear power imbalance
between professors and students.

383
00:26:10,041 --> 00:26:11,916
"What if I say no to lunch?"

384
00:26:12,916 --> 00:26:14,666
"What if I return the gift?"

385
00:26:15,583 --> 00:26:18,875
If she's afraid of upsetting you

386
00:26:18,958 --> 00:26:21,958
and can't bring herself to say no,

387
00:26:22,666 --> 00:26:24,208
that's already harassment.

388
00:26:25,791 --> 00:26:28,041
That girl didn't seem that way at all.

389
00:26:28,125 --> 00:26:29,333
Not "that girl."

390
00:26:31,083 --> 00:26:33,083
Her name is Yuka Namioka.

391
00:26:36,166 --> 00:26:40,750
Weren't you ignoring
her wishes and feelings

392
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:44,708
and putting your own
expectations and assumptions first?

393
00:26:46,791 --> 00:26:48,041
As a result,

394
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:52,333
wasn't there a part of you
that treated her like a doll?

395
00:26:58,416 --> 00:27:00,333
My father was like that too.

396
00:27:02,375 --> 00:27:04,500
He disregarded my mother's feelings

397
00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:09,375
and kept forcing his ideal image onto her.

398
00:27:11,875 --> 00:27:13,291
Because of that,

399
00:27:14,208 --> 00:27:18,708
my mother spent years living in misery.

400
00:27:21,083 --> 00:27:23,541
That's got nothing to do with me.

401
00:27:25,541 --> 00:27:26,541
No.

402
00:27:27,958 --> 00:27:29,625
Back then,

403
00:27:30,125 --> 00:27:32,125
I couldn't do anything for my parents.

404
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:37,541
But now,

405
00:27:38,041 --> 00:27:41,291
I've come to believe that I might be able
to help someone in need.

406
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:52,000
If something happens, it'll be too late.

407
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:02,166
Won't you consider

408
00:28:03,666 --> 00:28:05,333
trying my therapy?

409
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:11,166
Fine.

410
00:28:11,250 --> 00:28:12,958
I can't say no to you.

411
00:28:17,125 --> 00:28:18,708
Thank you.

412
00:28:43,875 --> 00:28:46,000
Hello, Ichinose?

413
00:28:47,166 --> 00:28:48,166
<i>Yeah.</i>

414
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:50,500
Um…

415
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,000
Can I talk to you about something?

416
00:29:16,708 --> 00:29:19,333
How has your mother been since then?

417
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:22,625
She seems to be stable.

418
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,625
But she hasn't regained
consciousness yet.

419
00:29:30,208 --> 00:29:31,250
I see.

420
00:29:52,625 --> 00:29:53,583
Sorry.

421
00:29:54,083 --> 00:29:56,208
I know I said I wanted to talk,

422
00:29:56,291 --> 00:29:59,083
but I don't know what to say.

423
00:30:01,458 --> 00:30:02,541
That's okay.

424
00:30:02,625 --> 00:30:03,708
Take your time.

425
00:30:10,583 --> 00:30:12,375
Whenever you're ready,

426
00:30:12,458 --> 00:30:13,583
I'm here to listen.

427
00:30:39,166 --> 00:30:44,750
I've been working as a sex therapist
as a way to avoid

428
00:30:45,375 --> 00:30:46,875
facing things with my parents.

429
00:30:48,666 --> 00:30:50,083
That's the truth.

430
00:30:53,083 --> 00:30:55,166
Professor Toyohara asked me too.

431
00:30:57,833 --> 00:31:02,125
"Was this a path
you actually chose for yourself?"

432
00:31:06,750 --> 00:31:09,083
Even if it was to avoid them,

433
00:31:10,541 --> 00:31:14,916
I'm sure there are many people
who were saved by you.

434
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,541
That's why

435
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,041
I want to choose it again.

436
00:31:32,791 --> 00:31:36,375
I want to choose this job for myself

437
00:31:37,375 --> 00:31:39,083
all over again.

438
00:31:42,416 --> 00:31:44,333
Not to look the other way…

439
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:49,166
but to face things with…

440
00:31:51,791 --> 00:31:53,375
my clients,

441
00:31:54,416 --> 00:31:55,625
my parents…

442
00:32:02,916 --> 00:32:04,416
and myself.

443
00:32:10,291 --> 00:32:12,083
Natsume told me

444
00:32:13,291 --> 00:32:15,208
that "No matter what form they take,

445
00:32:15,708 --> 00:32:19,958
the fragrance of a flower
that once bloomed always lingers."

446
00:32:32,416 --> 00:32:34,625
Can I say something too?

447
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:51,541
I…

448
00:32:53,375 --> 00:32:55,833
want you to be on the show.

449
00:32:58,166 --> 00:32:59,000
Huh?

450
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:05,583
Sex is difficult to talk about after all.

451
00:33:06,958 --> 00:33:11,125
Many people think
that they can't talk to anyone.

452
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:14,208
So…

453
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:17,958
I want them to know

454
00:33:19,125 --> 00:33:23,541
that there are people like you
who'll listen to them sincerely.

455
00:33:30,333 --> 00:33:31,791
Will you be on the show?

456
00:33:39,875 --> 00:33:42,750
How has he been doing since then?

457
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:46,666
You don't need to go
through me anymore, do you?

458
00:33:46,750 --> 00:33:48,750
He's figured everything out.

459
00:33:50,041 --> 00:33:52,958
He won't open up to me now.

460
00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:59,416
Who was it that dumped him on me
and told me to help him?

461
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,958
You went and made yourself the bad guy.

462
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,166
And you were having fun.

463
00:34:05,250 --> 00:34:06,625
Of course I was.

464
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:11,083
It was like having a front-row seat
to a dating reality show. I had fun.

<i>Tomorrow on Central TV…</i>

467
00:34:18,083 --> 00:34:19,791

<i>At 4:45 p.m.</i>

469

Her presence

470
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:27,125
has forced him to face his past,
whether he likes it or not.

473
00:34:36,791 --> 00:34:39,208
Yumi really took the plunge.

474
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I had a health checkup recently,
and they found a few issues.

475
00:34:54,083 --> 00:34:55,125
What? Really?

476
00:34:55,208 --> 00:34:57,583
I'm fine, but I thought
I'd be more careful.

477
00:34:57,666 --> 00:34:59,500
-Let's both be careful.
-Yes.

Two…

490
00:36:04,208 --> 00:36:07,708
Up next, our "Women Leading
the Future" Week special.

491
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:10,625
Ms. Ichinose, what is today's topic about?

492
00:36:10,708 --> 00:36:11,625
Yes.

493
00:36:11,708 --> 00:36:13,500
Tonight on Twilight News,

494
00:36:13,583 --> 00:36:16,041
we'll take a look at the sexual concerns

495
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:19,416
women leading the future
struggle to talk about.

496
00:36:20,166 --> 00:36:22,500
That's quite a bold topic.

497
00:36:22,583 --> 00:36:26,125
Sexual concerns are often seen
as embarrassing

498
00:36:26,208 --> 00:36:29,125
or obscene.

499
00:36:29,208 --> 00:36:33,375
But especially in Japan,
where sex education has lagged behind,

500
00:36:33,458 --> 00:36:36,208
we need an environment
where people can talk

501
00:36:36,291 --> 00:36:39,666
about these issues more openly.

502
00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:41,916
I see.

503
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
First, please take a look at this.

504
00:36:44,791 --> 00:36:46,125
<i>Excuse me.</i>

505
00:36:46,208 --> 00:36:47,041
Video's rolling.

506
00:36:48,708 --> 00:36:50,291
-This way, please.
-Okay.

507
00:37:01,666 --> 00:37:03,500
-Take a seat.
-Thank you.

508
00:37:06,041 --> 00:37:07,375
Hello.

509
00:37:13,125 --> 00:37:14,750
All right.

510
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:17,125
Our star's finally here.

511
00:37:17,208 --> 00:37:19,500
I'm surprised you agreed to this.

512
00:37:19,583 --> 00:37:22,750
We don't get many chances
to pull ratings like this.

513
00:37:22,833 --> 00:37:24,958
I pitched it hard to the higher-ups.

514
00:37:25,041 --> 00:37:26,708
Five seconds to the studio.

515
00:37:27,958 --> 00:37:29,041
Three.

516
00:37:29,125 --> 00:37:30,125
Two…

517
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:34,041
After doing those interviews,

518
00:37:34,125 --> 00:37:36,833
I realized far more people than I imagined

519
00:37:36,916 --> 00:37:39,250
have sexual concerns
they can't tell anyone about.

520
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:42,291
Here's a look at some of
the most common responses.

521
00:37:42,791 --> 00:37:46,291
It seems people have
all kinds of concerns.

522
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:47,875
That's right.

523
00:37:47,958 --> 00:37:54,833
Joining us today is psychiatrist
and AASECT-certified sex therapist

524
00:37:54,916 --> 00:37:58,958
Dr. Ichito Shimotori.

525
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:01,500
Thank you for joining us, Dr. Shimotori.

526
00:38:03,208 --> 00:38:04,833
Thank you for having me.

527
00:38:04,916 --> 00:38:11,041
You've worked with countless patients
at your clinic, haven't you?

528
00:38:11,625 --> 00:38:12,625
Yes.

529
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:15,416
The term "sex therapy"

530
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:18,208
isn't very familiar to us.

531
00:38:18,291 --> 00:38:20,416
What kind of treatment do you provide?

532
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Well…

533
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:26,041
Before I answer that,

534
00:38:26,833 --> 00:38:30,208
I'd like to tell you
a little about myself.

535
00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:37,208
I'm sure many of you
are curious about my past.

536
00:38:47,708 --> 00:38:50,291
As reported by some weekly tabloids,

537
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:52,416
seventeen years ago,

538
00:38:52,916 --> 00:38:58,833
my father assaulted the man
my mother was having an affair with.

539
00:39:00,875 --> 00:39:02,125
Let him go on.

540
00:39:02,791 --> 00:39:03,958
Let him continue.

541
00:39:04,916 --> 00:39:09,500
It's true that the incident
played a major role in my decision

542
00:39:09,583 --> 00:39:12,041
to become a sex therapist.

543
00:39:13,750 --> 00:39:17,583
Back then, if sex therapy
had been more accessible,

544
00:39:18,541 --> 00:39:20,583
the incident may have been prevented.

545
00:39:22,291 --> 00:39:23,708
<i>My father and mother</i>

546
00:39:24,666 --> 00:39:27,250
<i>might not have ended up the way they did.</i>

547
00:39:28,791 --> 00:39:30,708
You can do it.

548
00:39:32,166 --> 00:39:33,166
<i>Of course,</i>

549
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,791
<i>we can't change the past.</i>

550
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:41,750
<i>But by treating my clients</i>
<i>with that in mind,</i>

551
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:44,041
<i>my hope is to help</i>

552
00:39:44,708 --> 00:39:48,833
<i>people like my mother, who use sex</i>
<i>in a way that hurts themselves.</i>

553
00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:51,750
<i>And…</i>

554
00:39:52,458 --> 00:39:57,000
<i>I hope I can help prevent people</i>
<i>from hurting others</i>

555
00:39:57,083 --> 00:39:59,541
<i>like my father did.</i>

556
00:40:06,833 --> 00:40:08,250
Thank you.

557
00:40:10,416 --> 00:40:13,750
Today, we'll focus on some of the concerns

558
00:40:13,833 --> 00:40:16,250
we heard most often.

559
00:40:16,333 --> 00:40:19,416
Dr. Shimotori will help us explore them.

560
00:40:20,041 --> 00:40:21,041
Yes.

561
00:40:21,583 --> 00:40:23,041
Let's start with this.

562
00:40:23,125 --> 00:40:25,875
<i>By talking openly about things</i>
<i>like the need to feel loved,</i>

563
00:40:25,958 --> 00:40:28,000
<i>without blaming each other,</i>

564
00:40:28,083 --> 00:40:32,333
<i>I think couples can deepen</i>
<i>their understanding of one another.</i>

565
00:40:32,416 --> 00:40:33,750
<i>Next…</i>

566
00:40:33,833 --> 00:40:36,083
You're so cool, Doctor!

567
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:38,416
<i>"I can't tell my partner</i>
<i>to use contraception."</i>

568
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:41,666
<i>At times, because you're afraid</i>
<i>they'll dislike you,</i>

569
00:40:41,750 --> 00:40:45,083
<i>you end up going along</i>
<i>with what they want.</i>

570
00:40:45,166 --> 00:40:47,958
<i>So, it's best to have a relationship</i>
<i>where you can say no.</i>

571
00:40:48,041 --> 00:40:50,583
<i>There's solo sex and partnered sex.</i>

572
00:40:50,666 --> 00:40:53,041
<i>I recently learned</i>
<i>there's also a virtual option</i>

573
00:40:53,125 --> 00:40:56,833
<i>that falls somewhere in between.</i>

574
00:40:58,166 --> 00:41:01,041
<i>I think it's important</i>
<i>for people to explore</i>

575
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:03,541
<i>the approach to sexuality</i>
<i>that suits them best.</i>

576
00:41:03,625 --> 00:41:06,166
Here's another concern
many people brought up.

577
00:41:06,250 --> 00:41:11,083
"Is it weird for women to masturbate?"

578
00:41:11,583 --> 00:41:13,625
Regarding this topic,

579
00:41:13,708 --> 00:41:16,166
someone once asked me…

580
00:41:18,416 --> 00:41:21,541
<i>"Why do we call masturbation</i>
<i>'to comfort yourself'?"</i>

581
00:41:22,041 --> 00:41:24,083
<i>"Just like the term 'self-pleasure,'</i>

582
00:41:24,166 --> 00:41:26,958
<i>why not think of it</i>
<i>as pleasuring yourself?"</i>

583
00:41:30,666 --> 00:41:32,833
I also pleasure myself.

584
00:41:35,083 --> 00:41:37,500
I don't think it's weird at all.

585
00:41:38,583 --> 00:41:40,500
I do it pretty often too.

586
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:44,333
That's not weird, is it, Doctor?

587
00:41:44,416 --> 00:41:46,041
No. Of course not.

588
00:41:46,125 --> 00:41:50,250
For example, I had a client
who masturbated so often

589
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:52,583
they couldn't focus on work.

590
00:41:53,208 --> 00:41:56,291
<i>The act itself isn't the problem.</i>

591
00:41:56,375 --> 00:41:59,375
He's talking about me!

592
00:41:59,458 --> 00:42:01,083
<i>…how you control it…</i>

593
00:42:01,166 --> 00:42:04,000
Hey! Quit climbing and come watch!
He's talking about me.

594
00:42:04,083 --> 00:42:06,708
So far, we've explored

595
00:42:07,208 --> 00:42:09,791
sexual concerns
people can't tell anyone about

596
00:42:09,875 --> 00:42:12,208
from female perspectives.

597
00:42:12,791 --> 00:42:14,208
<i>But Doctor--</i>

598
00:42:14,291 --> 00:42:15,625
We're the number-one trend!

599
00:42:16,625 --> 00:42:17,583
We're the top trend!

600
00:42:17,666 --> 00:42:20,000
Be quiet! This is the important part.

601
00:42:20,083 --> 00:42:22,125
<i>This may sound simple,</i>

602
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:24,375
but listening to your partner

603
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:27,833
and making an effort
to be honest about how you feel

604
00:42:29,625 --> 00:42:31,083
is the only way I believe

605
00:42:31,166 --> 00:42:34,208
we can bridge gaps
and clear up misunderstandings.

606
00:42:34,291 --> 00:42:35,750
That's true.

607
00:42:36,250 --> 00:42:39,583
You'll never know what someone
really thinks of you

608
00:42:39,666 --> 00:42:42,416
unless you ask them.

609
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:43,500
Yes.

610
00:42:44,166 --> 00:42:48,333
I've learned that firsthand
myself recently.

611
00:42:48,416 --> 00:42:50,375
Did something happen, Mr. Kazuma?

612
00:42:51,666 --> 00:42:52,583
No…

613
00:42:53,083 --> 00:42:54,083
Not really.

614
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,291
Doctor,

615
00:42:59,375 --> 00:43:01,458
do you have a final message
for our viewers?

616
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:03,500
Yes.

617
00:43:07,541 --> 00:43:11,041
For people living in the modern world,

618
00:43:11,125 --> 00:43:13,958
sex is not just about reproduction.

619
00:43:15,375 --> 00:43:19,666
As the meaning and purpose of sex
have become more diverse,

620
00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:23,250
people's concerns
have also grown more complex.

621
00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:28,583
Because each person's concerns
are different,

622
00:43:29,166 --> 00:43:30,750
<i>they feel they can't tell anyone</i>

623
00:43:31,416 --> 00:43:34,291
<i>and end up backing themselves</i>
<i>into a corner.</i>

624
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:38,625
<i>Before that happens,</i>

625
00:43:39,125 --> 00:43:41,625
<i>I believe there is something I can do.</i>

626
00:43:43,958 --> 00:43:44,958
At this moment,

627
00:43:45,708 --> 00:43:50,291
to anyone struggling with sexual concerns

628
00:43:52,166 --> 00:43:54,333
that they can't tell anyone about…

629
00:44:04,750 --> 00:44:06,000
Don't worry.

630
00:44:07,083 --> 00:44:09,416
Everyone has concerns

631
00:44:10,208 --> 00:44:11,458
when it comes to sex.

632
00:44:20,458 --> 00:44:23,083
KAWAWA SHRINE

633
00:44:23,166 --> 00:44:30,166
LANTERN FESTIVAL

634
00:44:39,916 --> 00:44:41,208
There we go.

635
00:44:42,166 --> 00:44:43,583
Wow!

636
00:44:43,666 --> 00:44:44,500
Wow.

637
00:44:44,583 --> 00:44:45,666
It's beautiful.

638
00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:47,833
-This is amazing.
-Yeah.

639
00:44:55,625 --> 00:44:57,541
It's so magical.

640
00:45:06,208 --> 00:45:08,250
I feel like it's finally started moving.

641
00:45:09,541 --> 00:45:10,750
What has?

642
00:45:13,041 --> 00:45:16,666
The clock that stopped 17 years ago.

643
00:45:23,875 --> 00:45:24,958
You're right.

644
00:45:29,708 --> 00:45:30,916
Thank you

645
00:45:31,541 --> 00:45:34,375
for listening to me.

646
00:45:36,916 --> 00:45:38,541
I should be thanking you.

647
00:45:40,791 --> 00:45:42,791
For listening to me.

648
00:47:28,875 --> 00:47:35,875
