Oh, you're still awake?
I've been awake.
She's had the sound off...
How is the typhoon coming along?
Stagnating.
I see.
Could you not sleep?
I couldn't really fall asleep.
The rain sure is loud.
You can turn on the TV's sound if you want.
I won't be sleeping anyway.
It's fine like this.
Ah, fine then. It's not really bothering me!
Takumi?
Takumi and Fumino are friendly with each other.
Yeah... we've always been stuck together. For a long time now.
When you're sad, you can laugh.
When you're about to cry, get mad.
Losing is the worst thing that could happen.
I'll definitely, definitely be there to protect you!
Oh, that's right!
I'll slip you a secret about Fumino.
Secret?
Not a word to anyone about this.
Although most everyone around me knows already...
I suppose it's a shared secret amongst the family-like people who are close to us.
From now on, when you're talking with Fumino, if she says anything serious...
Then what?
Then that would be 100 percent a lie.
A lie?
Yup, a lie.
Every word would be a lie.
White is back, outside is inside, she's the girl that cried wolf.
That's Fumino for you.
If she says she doesn't want it, she wants it.
If she tells you to go off somewhere, she's telling you to stay with her.
Meaning she's the curious kind that just can't be honest.
I don't understand when she's not serious.
Ah, let's see, then...
For instance, when she's mad and making a big fuss.
When she's mad, she'll tell the truth?
No, I couldn't say that's always true.
That's why deciphering what she says is a bit difficult.
That's where my long history of being around her comes in handy.
Sounds nice.
I've never had someone like that.
You didn't have friends?
None.
What happened to your parents?
I don't know.
I see.
I'm not sure where I lived, either.
An orphanage?
Which-
We already decided we wouldn't pry into this...
Until Nozomi told us by herself.
After I ran away, I became more alone.
But being alone was a burden.
I think this is a wonderful place.
Um... You know, Nozomi... I'm also-
The phone... is ringing.
Yeah.
Hello-?
Fumino?
Unlock?
Which one?
I forgot something.

03 "The Stray Cat is Found"
That's what you forgot?
It's something important, so I came back to get it.
Do you have a complaint?
For now, something needs to be done about those clothes.
I'll lend you Otome-neesan's pyjamas.
Put those in the dryer and take a bath.
It's not that bad. They'll dry by themselves.
Before they do, you'll catch a cold.
Come on now, hurry.
Okay...
Nozomi, maybe you were asleep?
I haven't slept yet.
I'm fine.
Okay, I'll be borrowing your bath and dryer.
Don't break them.
Who's going to break them, you idiot!
Die twice!
That was close!
A power outage?
Nozomi, don't move.
It's dangerous, so stay put.
There it is.
Nozomi, everything okay?
I'm fine.
It would be nice if the power could be restored quickly, but...
I'm going to take a quick look at the breakers.
Takumi! It got pitch black all of a sudden!
A power outage, it's a power outage!
No no no, that's not the current problem!
What are you talking about?!
Could there be a bigger problem than the power outage?
Shine the light over here!
Then before I do, put something on!
Die ten thousand times!
My head hurts...
It was your fault for holding the light.
So... When are they going to restore power?
I'm not some employee of the power company.
I couldn't tell you.
Fumino, stay here tonight.
It's got to be dangerous outside.
What? Why should I have to stay in your-
Once the power's back, I'm going home.
I'll get the radio. There might be some information about the power outage.
Although the downpour in the Kantou region has lessened,
certain areas are experiencing power outages.
Prospects of power restoration are after the typhoon subsides.
Wait, why are you turning it off?
Waste of batteries. I'm going to turn off the flashlight, too.
What? Takumi, can't you generate some electricity manually?
How could I? Don't say something which makes people sound like electric eels!
Takumi, tell us some sort of interesting story.
Well, then...
How about the ghost story I heard the other day...
Of a certain enormous-
Die twice! What's the need to make things any scarier?!
Fumino.
Should I lay out a futon?
Otome-neesan isn't here, so you could use her bed-
I don't want to. I'll stay here.
Then I'm going to my own room-
Vetoed.
Honestly, all three of us don't have to sleep together like this, right?
I'm against it too, but...
It's terrible, but there are times when you need to give up.
Agreed.
Ah, um...
Isn't this kind of bad?
No, it is bad-
Why?
Why, you say-
Are you thinking up weird things?
I'm not! Completely normal.
Normal~
Then it should be fine. Hurry up.
Nozomi couldn't get to sleep, right?
Don't change sides, okay?
And don't face this direction too much, okay?
Understood.
Yeah, yeah-
It's okay! It's not going to strike the house.
Not necessarily so.
Eh?!
Has it struck normal houses before?
It has.
What happens if a house gets struck?
The current passes through the walls and into the ground.
But there are cases of it causing fire.
Nozomi, please don't scare Fumino too much.
Who's scared here?!
Are you stupid?
It's called "scientific curiosity-"
It's pretty amazing she made it here in this state by herself.
Fumino, you're gripping my hand a bit too tightly.
This is my revenge for being seen naked.
What's wrong, Nozomi?
It's nothing.
Okay.
Good night.
"Once it's morning, let's make cake, the three of us together."
Thinking that, I fell asleep.
Fumino... Fumino!
Nozomi is gone!
All her belongings are gone!
It... looks like Nozomi ran away...
Eh?
Where did you go, Nozomi...?
I will return the clothes I am wearing someday.
Nozomi
Hey...
She might have boarded the first train and already gone to another city...
Last night, she... was gripping my hand the entire time.
Right up until I fell asleep.
Eh? Wasn't that me?
The one gripping your hand the entire time.
You had the left, and Nozomi was gripping my right hand in the same way.
Last night, before I arrived, did something happen?
What do you mean, "something?"
Of course I'm asking because I don't know.
I was talking to her about our past together.
After that...
After that?
Nozomi talked about her own past.
She opened up to you...
I see.
Is there something wrong with that?
Anyway, let's keep looking for her.
It's my fault.
Let's go!
There are still some places we haven't searched.
Nozomi saw it, didn't she.
What are you talking about?
Nozomi saw it when I was gripping your hand.
I suppose she did see it.
She was holding on to me while I was awake.
More importantly, let's get moving quickly.
What's wrong?
I can't...
What are you talking about?
Nozomi could still be near us!
Hello? Daigorou?
Ah, Tsuzuki. We've joined forces with Umenomori just now.
We were about to move as a united front,
but we obtained some noteworthy information.
We encountered someone who saw a girl who looks like Kiriya.
What?!
Oh, I know that place.
It's close by.
We'll be right there!
They've got eyewitness information about someone who looked like Nozomi.
Let's go!
I can't go.
I told you, we don't have time for you to be talking nonsense!
I can't go with you!
Fumino?
If I went, Nozomi might run off somewhere again.
Fumino, you've been acting strange for a while-
Shut up!
You... couldn't possibly...
Do you know why Nozomi left?
I don't know.
You don't have to answer. Just look me in the eye.
You've realized the reason... as to why Nozomi disappeared.
I haven't realized...
You don't have to say anything. Just don't avert your eyes.
Is the reason Nozomi left something that's related to you or me?
Hey-!
Fumino?
The reason Nozomi left...
...is my fault!
I don't understand!
It's true, she found that I wanted her to leave-
Did you tell Nozomi that?
I didn't tell her that, but...
Then did you tell her you wanted her to stay here or...?
I didn't say that, either.
Then it's not that, huh...
How can you be so sure?
That's what I'd like to ask you!
Why is it your fault that Nozomi left?
It's...
...because she...
...realized that I like you!
You... like me?
I... do like you.
No, no I don't...
No, I hate you.
I really hate you!
I love you!
I-
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Stupid, stupid, stupid! Die twice!
Fumino...
Nozomi's been found. Let's go!
Stop-
I'll hear your complaints later.
I'll die twice or three times or whatever, so let's go!
Are you lost?
I know a good place.
They'll feed you.
There are many friends there.
There are kind people there.
It really was... the most wonderful place...
If that's true, you should come back.
We've finally caught you, Nozomi.
Fumino, you're too far away.
Shut up! It's not your concern!
Why?
Let's leave the explanation for later, shall we?
Let's go home.
Why?
We lived together, we ate together...
We even made cake together.
I won't go back.
I'd be an annoyance.
Nozomi, you know... A long time ago I had a nickname, "Tatami" they called me.
Takumi and Tatami kind of have the same sound to them, don't you think?
You see, I was abandoned too.
Until I was six years old, I was brought up in an orphanage.
Serizawa Church used to have an orphanage, but due to management issues, it was closed.
That's my original home.
So, I'm the first human to be picked up by Otome-neesan, and you're the second.
Otome-neesan really has a habit of picking things up.
Though she's only picked up two humans as of now.
I didn't even come with a name!
Since I was left behind with a tatami, they apparently called me "Tatami."
That wasn't going to work forever, so with less strokes, it was left "Takumi."
That's the origin of my name.
The unabridged, signed truth.
That's awful.
Well, with such a simple name using the tatami my parents laid out for me,
you could say that my name received all the love my parents could give me.
Thanks to that, despite all the trampling I've experienced, I've become strong.
Although the ones doing most of the trampling are Fumino and Umenomori...
There was a time when I, too, thought my existence was a burden.
The management ran out of money and the orphans were scattered amongst different families.
But there wasn't anyone who wanted to adopt me, so-
Takumi was left behind.
He left for my sake.
For your sake?
Yes, I was a stray cat as well.
An orphan.
As for me, at least I knew my parents had died in an accident.
That's right. Fumino was there for me, as well as the lively director, Sister Serizawa.
But it went bankrupt, and Fumino and I were the only ones left behind.
Despite being children, we understood that we were a burden on them.
So I left.
"I'll somehow make it on my own," I thought.
To me, I was leaving with a do-or-die resolve to go on a great adventure.
But by just idly walking around the neighbourhood,
I suddenly found myself in someone else's care.
The best part of the story was the one taking care of me.
She figured out my background immediately, but instead of taking me back to the orphanage,
she took me to her own home.
And that's not all.
She gave me a mountain of cake to eat.
You know about butter cake, right?
It's certainly good, but...
If you eat too much, it'll weigh down on your stomach and make you feel sick. It's pretty oily.
So when I naturally started to feel like giving up, I looked her in the face...
She looked incredibly happy, and asked "Was it good?"
How did you answer?
"It's decent," I said.
After that she said "Hmm, I see," smiling kind of bitterly.
Then what did she do?
You can probably imagine, right?
She went to the orphanage and told them she'd adopt me.
Before I realized it, I became Tsuzuki Takumi.
It was a real disaster when Otome-neesan brought me back to the orphanage...
Fumino came kicking me in the gut, knocking the wind out and leaving me on the floor writhing in pain.
Of course I did!
I was seriously angry.
Sorry.
Basically, Nozomi, I'm your senpai in everything.
You too should walk the same path I have.
But I am not six years old.
I can live on by myself.
If you get too stubborn, I'll just bring you back by force.
I am the Otome-neesan's younger brother, after all.
We're not connected by blood, but I was brought up under her training.
Uh...
I'd like you to say something, too, Fumino.
I...
If you don't come back with us while Otome-neesan is gone, people will think we kicked you out.
This isn't funny. If you just go and pull stuff on us, it's a real nuisance.
That's right. This is one of Fumino's lies.
And at school, with you just having joined, if you suddenly drop out it will look like I bullied you.
A terrible nuisance!
Whatever I do...
Whatever I do, I'll be a nuisance...
I understand. I was an orphan, too.
Although our circumstances are different, the roots are the same.
When the orphanage went bankrupt, I too decided that I would never be a burden any more.
But...
It's fine to be a burden.
Others will end up being a burden on us, and we'll burden them.
Sometimes an agreement comes from that.
How far you can indulge in others, how much you can forgive...
The limits of these are something we constantly explore.
Especially since Otome-neesan is a trouble-imposing prodigy, after all.
So come back home with us, Nozomi.
Instead of you, we're the ones always doing annoying things, but...
We've already become family, haven't we?
You can stay here.
I...
Come back with us.
If you disappear again, searching for you would be a big problem.
There she is! Found her, found her! I've found Nozomi!
Nozomi!
Oh, nice capture, Takumi!
Don't you let her escape!
Sorry. The traffic was more congested than we'd expected.
Forgive us, Tsuzuki, Serizawa.
Nozomi, you are my minion.
You've no right to decide to disappear on your own.
The next time you run away, go to my house or the school roof's penthouse.
You are ordered strictly to do so!
If you understand me, hand!
Come on now, quickly!
Meow.
Fumino.
What do you want?
What do you want me to shake your hand for?
Just felt like it.
I've always wanted to try it once.
Takumi, hand!
Okay, sure.

I said that?
That's obviously a lie, stupid.
