00:00You
00:14You okay?
00:17What?
00:19Does it feel good?
00:30Miyuki...
00:58Well, I'm off.
00:59I'll make cabbage miso soup for dinner.
01:02Sure.
01:04Why are you staring?
01:06You've got a cowlick you might want to think about taming.
01:11You let me walk around like that all morning?
01:14My bad.
01:22Yoshida hasn't touched me once since we started living together.
01:26The only thing that's in it for him is free housework. I get a bed and he gets a maid.
01:37He's made it more than clear he's not into younger girls.
01:40Wouldn't it be normal for him to want to fool around with me at least a little bit?
01:44Mishima, think you'll actually have that 100% correct by EOD?
01:57Yes, piece of cake. I'll pay extra close attention.
02:00This seat taken? I hope not.
02:03Wanted to ask if you really turned down a business trip.
02:06Oh.
02:08Yeah.
02:09If you're curious you took your place, you're looking at him.
02:11Is that right? Sorry, man.
02:13No worries. Not like I was doing anything.
02:16Guess I was just caught off guard since I thought you were a Goto man through and through.
02:20What are you talking about?
02:22Your girl.
02:23Huh?
02:25You're skipping out so you can hang out with your new girl.
02:28My man.
02:29So there is someone.
02:30Were you lying about Goto as well?
02:32Wait, what lie?
02:34Were you able to bag that baddie?
02:35That's a no.
02:36Something's not adding up.
02:38The only reason I know of that workaholics turned down business trips is because they have a special someone.
02:43Well, that's where you're wrong.
02:44I mean, life can throw you any number of curveballs.
02:51Like...
02:55I'm expecting a package soon.
02:57Within the next two weeks.
03:00Fine, forget I said anything.
03:03Forget it all.
03:04I shouldn't push your buttons when you obviously don't want to talk about it.
03:08But you better have enough fun to make it worth it.
03:10For my sake.
03:12Later.
03:16What's that for?
03:17I'm just venting my frustration.
03:19Why are you frustrated?
03:21Because of everything.
03:27All done, boss.
03:30Good to go.
03:31Excellent work.
03:32You finished in time and stayed true to your word.
03:35Yup.
03:36That was my reward.
03:37You could come with me to see a movie tonight, Yoshida.
03:40But, uh...
03:41There's a theater at your train station, right?
03:43So it's not even out of the way.
03:44Um, yes, I'm aware, but...
03:46Don't give me your butts.
03:47It's got T-minus 60 minutes still show time.
03:49Hold on.
03:50Mishima.
03:51Good to see you, Goto.
04:01Yes, same to you.
04:03Why is there nothing to do?
04:20I wonder...
04:21How long will I be able to call this place home?
04:24How long will I be able to call this place home?
04:26The second Yoshida decides he doesn't want me around, he'll kick me out.
04:39Just like all the other guys I've met.
04:41It's bound to happen.
04:43Especially if he gets a girlfriend.
04:48He's ridiculously nice.
04:50There's no way you'll stay single for long.
04:54And dates will lead...
04:56To more intimate things.
05:03Geez, what's with me?
05:06A movie with...
05:12A colleague?
05:19We've got...
05:20Cabbage and fried tofu.
05:23Is the co-worker he went with...
05:25That Goto lady?
05:27Could be another woman.
05:29Can't help but wonder a little.
05:36Just a little.
05:39Wow.
05:40That was money very well spent, if I do say so myself.
05:42Mm-hmm.
05:43Loved it.
05:44You get something out of it too?
05:46Or not so much?
05:47What, like a life lesson or some moral?
05:50Oh yeah, I've got one.
05:52I like what the professor said about looking back and realizing that an encounter was faded.
05:57That line really resonated with me for some reason.
05:59I liked that line too.
06:01Very cool.
06:02You feel the same way, huh?
06:04Mm-hmm.
06:05Uh...
06:06Hold on.
06:07You like it because you related to it?
06:09Should I not?
06:10I felt the line fit the story.
06:11But I don't want it to apply to my actual life because faded encounters change everything.
06:15You go from walking one path to another in an instant.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Throws you for a loop.
06:20Exactly!
06:21So it's better to be present for times like that.
06:23Gotta realize it's fake the moment it happens!
06:26Um...
06:27True.
06:28Finding out something was meant to be after that door as long since closed is like peak disappointment.
06:33It's fine when it's part of the plot in a sad movie or book, but real life should have happy endings.
06:39The present is what's important.
06:41So I'll stay in it.
06:42That way I don't regret my past.
06:44Have you had a fated encounter that you know of yet?
06:51Oh, Yoshida!
06:53Of course that's how you'd follow up that exchange!
06:57Huh?
06:58It's honestly pretty endearing at this point.
07:00Sorry you lost me.
07:01Yes, I've had an encounter.
07:02Hit me like a brick.
07:03That's why I know what I have and I won't ever let it go.
07:06Hold tight then.
07:07And good luck.
07:09Well, here goes.
07:10Why are you hugging me?
07:11I bet I got your heart to scuba beaches now, huh?
07:13Why are you hugging me?
07:15I bet I got your heart to scuba beaches now, huh?
07:18Yeah, right.
07:19Get off.
07:20What a movie!
07:21Ahhhh!
07:22What a movie!
07:23What a movie!
07:50Well, safe to say this reward has been cashed. Thank you again for coming with me. I mean it.
07:56No, uh, thank you too.
08:02What if I said my fated encounter was with you and it's written in the stars for the two of us to be together?
08:08I'd tell you to stop being dumb. Just go home.
08:20The person you're fated to be with. Does Sayu think we had a fateful encounter that night?
08:32Was she hoping the one she was destined to be with would come along?
08:36Either way, the person who found her was me. So, was it fate or a fluke?
08:44Hey, I'm back.
08:46Sayu?
08:50Oh, man. What if one of those creeps from her past tracked her down and kidnapped her?
09:08The face he made. He's never looked at me that way. Not once.
09:14Doesn't matter if he looks at me like a woman. Who cares?
09:26Why the heck am I crying now?
09:29Why?
09:30Because I'm stupid.
09:36I'm totally jealous of that woman.
09:39And I don't even know her name.
09:42If that isn't stupid,
09:44then nothing is.
09:50Everything okay?
09:51You're that woman.
09:59Hmm?
10:01Never mind.
10:02Are you in high school?
10:04Be careful.
10:05The police crack down on kids who hang out this late.
10:07I guess they'll pretty much leave you alone if you have an adult with you, though.
10:17I'll stay right here until they start boarding the last train.
10:20So relax.
10:23Take your time and think through whatever you need to process.
10:28Um, thank you, ma'am.
10:30Mind telling me your name?
10:34Dammit.
10:35What happened?
10:36Where in the world are you, Sayu?
10:38You a runaway?
10:40Technically, yeah, I am.
10:42Well, for what it's worth,
10:44I ran away a couple times when I was a high schooler, too.
10:47Wanna talk about what you're running from?
10:50I...
10:50Have some words with your parents?
10:56No words.
10:57I left without saying a thing.
10:59I think we're close, though.
11:01That and...
11:02I've been shown incredible compassion.
11:04Okay, then why on earth did you run away?
11:08I don't believe in unconditional kindness.
11:12There's always a catch.
11:15Every act of kindness,
11:17both big and small,
11:18has an ulterior motive behind it.
11:21I actually agree with you.
11:24At home...
11:25There's somebody who's nice to me non-stop,
11:28but I can't figure out why.
11:30I also have to keep something secret from him.
11:33Because if I ever let it slip,
11:35there's a good chance he'd abandon me.
11:37Which is what brought you to this park bench tonight.
11:39There aren't many,
11:43but a handful of people in this world turn our theory on compassion upside down.
11:48You try and wrap your head around why they're so nice,
11:51and you come up short every time.
11:53It's an unsolved mystery.
11:55But once you start trying to piece it together,
11:57you can't stop.
11:58And suddenly you're obsessed with that person.
12:01Yuzuha must be talking about Yoshida too.
12:05She really likes him.
12:06You mentioned before how you don't want this person to abandon you.
12:10Maybe that fear throws you in place.
12:13Which is totally understandable,
12:15since fear has the power to rouse your spirit and spur you forward,
12:18but it also causes hesitation.
12:20It's actually a quote from a movie I like.
12:25But it's better to unfreeze and take action!
12:28So that's why she hugged him.
12:32Even when things don't turn out the way you want,
12:34you still gain knowledge from the experience.
12:36So it's never for nothing, you know?
12:39So what do you think about taking the initiative in your situation, Sayu?
12:43And how would I go about that?
12:45Reveal whatever it is you've been hiding!
12:48Everything.
12:50Every dark secret.
12:51Every suppressed thought.
12:53Show them each side that makes you the beautifully complex person you are and say,
12:57THIS IS WHO I AM!
12:58PLEASE ACCEPT ME!
13:00That's it.
13:01Show your true self.
13:02If this person is as nice as you say they are,
13:05I have a feeling they'll accept you for you no matter what.
13:09I bet they're kind to you,
13:10because they have faith in you.
13:12Why not put a bit more faith in them?
13:15Wow, Yuzaha.
13:19You hit the nail on the head.
13:23I think I'm ready to head home.
13:25Sayu!
13:28Wait, is that Mishima?
13:30Sayu, talk to me!
13:32What the hell are you doing out here?
13:34I could ask the same thing!
13:36Come here.
13:38I want some answers.
13:39Do you have any idea how worried I was?
13:42I'm sorry.
13:43Wait.
13:43So for that entire talk,
13:46were both of us referring to Yoshida?
13:49You have a darn good explanation for all of this, right?
13:53Though it might not be as detailed as you want.
13:56I'll explain it anyway.
13:59Yoshida!
14:00Why don't you have any pictures of your daughter around the office?
14:03She's not my daughter.
14:04I figured as much.
14:06She is in her teens after all.
14:07But you're living with her even though she's not your kid?
14:11Well, that part's true.
14:13I see.
14:14Whatever your relationship,
14:16sounds like the two of you need to patch some things up.
14:18So I'll head home and leave you to it.
14:21You owe me an in-depth explanation, though.
14:23Yeah, sure thing.
14:24Nice meeting you, Sayu.
14:28Likewise.
14:34Let's go home.
14:39Yeah.
14:40Let's.
14:41Yoshida.
14:55What the heck is this?
15:02Put on some clothes.
15:04Then we can talk.
15:06Or we can talk now.
15:07I'm not listening to a thing you say until you're dressed.
15:09Please, just...
15:10Clothes before words, okay?
15:13Listen.
15:13I'm a woman.
15:22There's nothing childish in regard to my body.
15:25Even so, you don't see me that way at all.
15:28But like it or not, that's what I am.
15:31I'm well aware of that.
15:33Are you also aware that I'm fairly well endowed for a girl my age?
15:45Surely you can see for yourself.
15:47Not if you put on a shirt.
15:50Let's have sex.
15:53What did I tell you?
15:54Trying to seduce me will just land you back on the street!
15:57Everyone else did it!
15:58All the other men wanted to have sex with me.
16:09So why don't you help me understand?
16:14Yoshida, there isn't a bone in your body that's attracted to me?
16:22Not one?
16:23Stop!
16:24I mean it, Sayu!
16:25I will as soon as you give me an answer!
16:27Do I not turn you on?
16:37Of course you do!
16:39You think this is easy?
16:40Most men would just give in to you in a heartbeat!
16:43Why are you getting shy when you finally got the reaction you wanted?
16:47So stupid...
16:48I, um, I'm really sorry...
16:50Man, get your hands off of me.
16:52Before I get mad.
16:53Oh, sure.
16:54I'm desperate.
16:58In lots of ways.
17:00You see, I was desperate to run away from home and survive by myself.
17:06But taking in a random teenager isn't the smartest move and doesn't come with that many perks.
17:12If the police ever found out, you could be arrested.
17:15That's why I felt like I should compensate the people for putting their necks on the line.
17:20So then, you made your body payment.
17:25That was suitable compensation?
17:29At first, I absolutely despised it.
17:33But after I adjusted, I found myself wanted and needed by these men.
17:37Which made me feel seen for a change.
17:40It gave me a sense of fulfillment.
17:42But my payment is never enough.
17:46The disadvantages always win out.
17:49I'm used and tossed aside.
17:51Again and again.
17:54I had it figured out.
17:55Until I met you.
17:57I don't understand why you let me stay.
18:00There isn't a single string attached to your deal.
18:05Well, maybe one.
18:06I guess you do get a personal housemaid.
18:08But that's nothing.
18:11Anybody can do chores.
18:12You could replace me with a professional if you wanted to.
18:16I just don't see how this arrangement benefits you.
18:20Yet you're always so nice about it.
18:22Too nice if you ask me.
18:25I know it's only a matter of time before you kick me out.
18:28So I constantly worry about how I can avoid the inevitable.
18:33That scares you?
18:34It certainly does.
18:36And I have no idea what to do.
18:38If it wouldn't upset you, Yoshida.
18:44Please have sex with me.
18:47I'll feel needed if you do.
18:51Yoshida, you're hurting me.
18:57Are you trying to squeeze me to death?
19:00It's working.
19:01No.
19:04Sayu, listen carefully.
19:06Honestly, you're very cute.
19:12You're physically fit, and it definitely shows.
19:14You can upkeep a house and your appearance.
19:17You're awesome.
19:18Um, is there a point to all this?
19:20You're great.
19:21But my point is I'm not in love with you.
19:25And there's no way I'm getting into bed with a girl I'm not in love with.
19:28You said I could have my way with you if it wouldn't upset me.
19:32But the thing is, Sayu, it would upset me.
19:36Very much.
19:37So please, just take the hint.
19:42Glad you understand.
19:44Now, will you please put your pajamas on already?
19:46One more thing.
19:57I know you feel like you haven't done anything of value for me, but that's not true.
20:02You've changed me and the place I call home.
20:05You greet me with a friendly smile.
20:08Chatting with you somehow makes meals more enjoyable.
20:10And I'm not alone when I go to sleep.
20:12Do you have any clue how much more inviting that makes this tiny apartment?
20:18Gives me a reason to hurry home each and every day.
20:22I can't remember my life being this fun.
20:25And all it took was this teenage girl I found under a street lamp.
20:32So yeah, you don't have to do anything special to secure yourself a spot here.
20:37I'm just a lonely loser who can't pull off the stubble, look.
20:40Yeah, I should have said all this from the start.
20:45Sayu wasn't the only one who felt like I was getting nothing out of our arrangement at first.
20:50I kept talking about transforming her into an ordinary teenage girl, like she was some sort of project.
20:57I really believed I was protecting her.
20:59But it wasn't fair of me to think her story was as simple as it seemed.
21:04Sayu, will you stay here and give me something to look forward to every day?
21:08Till you feel like going home.
21:15Is that really okay?
21:22Sure is.
21:23All I ask is that you be here.
21:26You're just a sad sack with no libido, huh?
21:28Guess so.
21:29Thanks.
21:37For?
21:38For having me.
21:40We both suck.
21:43Since misery loves company, I'll stay.
21:46Cool.
21:46Get comfy.
21:47We'd been sharing an apartment for a while, sure.
21:52But it wasn't until that moment, after showing each other our worst, that we truly started living together.
