1 These flames that burn in the darkness

represent our hopes and our friendships.

They're also the power of love.

Let us combine all the flames gathered here into one.

Students of Class 2A.

No need to worry about my brother anymore.

Students of Class 3A.

It's all thanks to you, Maki.

Hey, can we talk a little later?

Yeah, sure.

Maki.

Maki.

See you.

...our hopes, friendship, and love...

Let's get closer.

...may burn strong and bright forever, like this great flame.

The closing event will now begin.

CHASTITY HIGH

All right.

Thanks. See you.

Sure.

- Good night. - Good night.

Welcome home.

Hi, Mom.

- How was the dance? - It was... good.

TODAY...

TAKE CARE ON YOUR WAY HOME

OKAY, SEE YOU TOMORROW

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU

Greetings!

Greetings.

Yo!

- Morning. - Morning.

Arisawa. Maki.

Come to the staff room immediately.

Wait, that means...

- What's going on? - Look.

Start homeroom in the meantime.

Isn't this wild?

I got it too.

Wow, I can't believe it.

This is you, isn't it?

- Yes. - How are you two involved?

I will ask again.

How are you involved?

You are in a romantic relationship, I take it?

No, we're not.

Did you have sexual intercourse?

Let me see your smartphone.

Take it out.

Take it out!

Show me your message history

and your photographs.

We did it.

I'm in love with him.

So I had sex with him.

So, it was you after all.

{n8}LOVE KEEPER IS ARISAWA AND MAKI

You are Love Keeper, is that correct?

Yes.

Any other collaborators?

{n8}THE FEE IS 200,000 I'LL PAY. PLEASE HELP ME

{n8}No.

I'm the one who started it.

Ordinarily,

you would not only be expelled

but reported for extortion.

- I didn't extort... - That's for the police to decide.

Give the names of the students you helped.

If you do that,

you may get away with a recommended withdrawal.

A forced expulsion

would have dire effects on your future career path.

Both for you

and for her.

Is it true that you were taking money from people?

Arisawa engaged in extortion,

blackmailing couples for money.

We could file a police report

and have this handled as a criminal case,

but that would have lasting consequences.

If Arisawa regrets what she has done

and tells us the names of the students she helped,

we will be discreet.

We will wait a few days.

Please discuss this in detail at home.

Excuse me.

Does this school offer scholarships?

How much did you take?

Why?

I know it's been difficult for you.

But to threaten people,

take their money,

and use that to repay our debts? I never wanted that.

I didn't raise you that way.

That kind of money is peanuts to them.

They'd have a meal, do some shopping,

and have already spent it all.

So it's fine to take it?

There are things you can and cannot do to others.

But...

without money, you can't do anything.

You can't go to a good school, get a good education,

or live a good life.

It's all about money in the end.

I didn't ask to be born into a family like this!

If we only had the money,

you wouldn't have to work from morning to night every day.

You wouldn't have to be someone who gets used.

I don't see it as being used.

Everyone has a role to play.

I'm simply doing honest work, playing my role running a household.

That's what I can't stand!

Even if you live an honest life,

slowly paying off your debt,

you don't get anything!

I raised you wrong.

If that's how you're going to think,

you should leave that school.

Unbelievable. How much have I donated to that school?

Maybe let's listen to Ryogo before you...

You shut up!

What good will listening to him do?

I can't have him expelled.

That's all.

{n8}RYOGO: WE SHOULD TALK CAN I CALL YOU?

ICHICA: SORRY, CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW

Here we go.

Rock, paper, scissors!

One more time.

...cannot pick up at this time.

Please leave a message after...

Of course I cannot rescind his expulsion.

But my son has been pardoned many times before, according to Haruto.

No.

I did not let him off the hook.

Indeed, I received reports

that he was fraternizing with female pupils from other schools.

But that was apparently just an act,

so I did not consider it a problem.

This, however, is a clear rule violation.

But...

Adding to his intimacy with a girl,

he even exploited the school rules to make money.

Please, for my sake.

Listen well.

The school operates by the school rules.

Donations and your status as governor will not sway my decision.

Come in.

What's the matter?

Did you fall out with Haruto?

Shall I mediate over dinner?

I am sorry to have to tell you this, but...

Haruto is seeing someone else besides me.

A student of this school.

The student has tried to break it off,

but he won't agree, and it's causing trouble.

We can't judge based only on one side of the story.

He could have been set up by some conniving girl.

Will we go to the police, then?

If you promise to make sure

that he never approaches the student again,

I won't report him to the school.

One more thing.

If you intend to keep working as governor,

you may want to update your views a little.

- You idiot! - Hey!

Stop it, Dad!

What is wrong with you?

I said stop!

Dating a student? What if people found out?!

That's not who you are.

Is this some brotherly pact to ruin me?

It's still about your reputation?!

How much will you mess up before you're happy?

I even went into the school...

No one asked you to!

Who am I, then?

I've always lived how you wanted me to, Dad.

I made sure not to veer from your path.

And now,

I'm no one! I'm nothing!

In the end,

I wasn't even able to get you studying abroad.

I've let you suffer.

So cute.

LOVE KEEPER IS ARISAWA AND MAKI

THE POOR ONE?

SHE'S POOR MAKI'S DAD IS THE GOVERNOR

SO LK WAS ALL ABOUT MONEY

Yes?

Over there.

Can I take your order?

Let's see...

- One hot coffee, please. - Okay.

You can order anything you like.

Thanks.

Okay, then,

one iced tea, please.

Certainly. I'll take the menu.

Excuse me.

So,

Love Keeper was you.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

What?

I always

had my doubts about the principal's methods.

I thought interfering with students' love lives like this

might be a mistake.

But... I never did anything about it

and just did as I was told.

As a result...

I should've protected you, but...

I drove you to do this.

I started LK

because I needed money.

It wasn't about protecting romance

or questioning the school's policy.

I only very recently started thinking that way.

After learning what it's like to fall in love.

How should I...

have fought that school rule?

We can't just treat symptoms.

Unless the underlying rules change,

the situation won't change either.

Not bad for someone who got expelled.

I'm not expelled yet.

Oh, yeah?

Sorry about the match.

Now I can't make it.

Everyone's fired up. They wanna win even without you.

Are you two in touch?

Talk to her. Go to her house if you need to.

I don't have that right.

What?

I threw a tantrum, and now this.

It's all on me.

If we're expelled,

what I would lose,

and what Ichica would lose.

There's no comparison.

You knew that from the start.

But you fell for her anyway.

EXPELLED RYOGO MAKI AND ICHICA ARISAWA

- Good morning. - Morning.

Ayami? Are you okay?

- Ayami? - What happened?

- Hey, Ayami. - Are you okay?

Are you sleeping okay?

Mr. Maki will no longer teach at this school.

What?

So you have nothing to worry about anymore.

How come?

His brother told me everything.

He said a student was in trouble and asked me to do something.

Why did he talk to you?

You know there was someone else involved too, right?

It was me.

He asked me to convince Mr. Maki to leave you alone.

I forced your name out of him.

I thought you might need support.

Please don't be angry at him.

Ms. Shinoda.

I... reported Maki and Ichica.

Atsushi.

I baked another cake.

Thanks.

You've always loved this cake.

Have I?

I can't remember.

Hey.

Is something up?

It's nothing.

I'm always making you lie, aren't I?

You say that now?

This house has always been built on lies.

I didn't want to fail.

After we finally got back to living together as a family.

You make me sick.

You're the one who had an affair and ruined everything.

And now it's "good mom" mode?

You'll throw us away again when the next guy comes.

- I never threw you away. - You did!

You had an affair, got caught,

then couldn't handle it on your own.

You sent me away so you could mend things with Dad.

Then once things cooled down, we're a family again?

You really do make me sick!

{n8}Thanks.

{n8}I'll have some.

So, you really were LK.

You said you understood how LK felt.

On the day of the festival,

when we talked, I realized for the first time...

how easy it is to drift from the person you're in love with.

And that there's nothing you can do.

I tried telling myself it was your own fault if you fell in love.

I cracked down on everyone.

I sent in reports.

But I think I should have faced my own feelings first.

Too late now, though.

I might have sounded all high and mighty,

but I haven't faced mine, either.

Right now, I'm just running away.

What are you doing now?

Nothing.

I had a fight with my mom,

and now I'm sleeping at Internet cafés.

Why don't you come to my place?

What?

All done.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Sorry it's not the guest room.

I said we were having a study sleepover.

No, it's fine.

It's been ages since I slept at a friend's place.

I'm a little excited.

Beds are the best.

She's called Kahoko.

Okay.

I can't sleep without hugging her.

That's so cute!

Oh, this is the worst!

Don't tell anyone!

Okay, I won't tell anyone.

What is it?

ICHICA, BEEN A WHILE IT'S EMA HERE

SORRY FOR NOT GETTING IN TOUCH HOW ARE YOU DOING?

Ichica.

Been a while.

Huh?

Yeah.

As you can see.

It's been a while, Fujino.

Listen.

I must

apologize to you, Komori.

I was the one who reported you.

I'm really sorry.

It's fine.

What's done is done.

Since I got pregnant,

I'd have been expelled anyway.

It's okay.

I don't regret it.

We were faithless.

Both you and I.

You're right.

Take care.

You too.

- You can't come in here while I'm out... - Ms. Shinoda.

Did something happen?

It's nothing.

I'm just disappointed in myself.

How can I help you?

I'll grow up quickly so you'll talk to me at times like this.

What about Akkun?

He ran off.

Seriously?

My mom told me to have an abortion.

For a while,

I thought I might as well just die.

But I thought about how I had another person inside me,

so I couldn't do that.

I found a place where I could get support.

I see.

Sorry I couldn't reach out.

Don't worry.

But wow.

You're going to be a mom.

What I said to Fujino back there...

I meant it.

It still sucks that I got expelled.

But I'm glad I could choose to have the baby.

You've become so strong, Ema.

Because I made up my own mind.

But you know,

I do feel uncertain some days.

At times like that,

I think about you at that school, surrounded by rich people,

fighting by yourself with all your might.

That gives me the strength I need.

I'm gonna get a refill. You want one too?

No.

Actually, I'll go.

No, it's fine.

- You sure? - Yeah.

All right.

Hey.

Ema?

Ema?

You okay, Ema?

Shall I call an ambulance?

Yes, please. Ema?

- Get more into it! - Yeah!

- Don't let them win! - Yeah!

Hey, Maki isn't here, so you've got to score a ton.

- Right. - Okay! Get out there!

Go get them!

I...

I'm in love with you.

I'll tell you again after I graduate.

So wait for me.

I'll grow up faster than you think.

ASURAN ACADEMY 62 MIDORIGAOKA HIGH 68

Yeah! Go! Fast break!

Fast break! Go!

Maybe you're right.

I think you've changed a lot, even in these past few months.

Fast break, now! Miyama!

Go!

If I've changed, it's because I fell in love with you.

So wait for me.

Okay, I'm going to check your cervix.

It hurts!

It's a slightly early birth,

but you can do it.

Is the baby all right?

Don't worry. It's fine.

- Okay. - Good.

Hey, Miyama!

- Are you okay? - Hey, Miyama!

- Miyama! - Miyama! Hey!

Hey, Miyama.

Are you okay?

- Hey, Miyama! - Let's call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance!

Please!

You'll be okay, Miyama!

Hang in there! Miyama!

- Miyama! - Miyama!

Yes, it looks like she'll have the baby here.

Well...

Her contractions are more frequent.

Take two deep, slow breaths.

You can do it.

- Slow breaths in. - It hurts!

We can't pause time.

Yes, good!

Things grow old as life goes on.

Love, jealousy, hate, and joy.

It all just slips through our fingers.

I can see the head now.

Hang in there!

Breathe in,

and push!

Keep going. More.

That's why we have to grab hold of...

Hang in there.

...what we really cherish

in this fleeting moment.

There. Congratulations.

It's a healthy baby girl.

Congratulations.

You did a great job.

Relaxed breaths now.

You made it.

How are you feeling?

Okay for now.

But I'll be here awhile for observation.

Sorry about the match.

I'm glad you're okay.

You never know when you'll die.

Then you'd better say

the things you want to say.

Yeah.

Right.

SAWA FUJINO

{n8}THE PRINCIPAL IS HUNTING PEOPLE LK HELPED

{n8}BY DOING SPOT CHECKS ON ALL SUSPICIOUS STUDENTS

You know,

I did think,

"What if I'm going to die like this?"

But then,

I was just glad that I'd fallen in love with you.

Properly.

This is where we first met.

Yeah.

My selfishness...

ruined your future.

I'm so sorry.

Don't apologize.

I made up my own mind.

I felt that it was

what I wanted to do.

Of course, I didn't want to get expelled.

But what I meant was...

I didn't want to wait a year and a half. I wanted to be with you now.

So...

I'll make up my own mind again.

As long as that rule is in place,

nothing can stop the school from crushing what it feels like to be in love.

I'm... going to sue the school.

I'll demand a rule change

and the repeal of the romance ban.
