Su-ki-da,

Hey, Yosuke... Do you remember?

I remember.

Why the sudden change, ex-baseball player?

Some say that Murasaki Shikibu's father

created the story and made his daughter write it.

So there are manyopinions...

what's that song?

Yosuke plays it on his guitar.

He only plays the same part

so I've memorized it.

Is it his original song?

No, I don't think so.

Until recently,

he played ball with a shaved head,

but he quit and suddenly began playing the guitar.

Says he wants to make a living in music.

Sing some more.

No way.

6 months earlier, myolder sister

had lost a /oved one in an accident.

Someone she loved very much.

Ever since, for some reason,

she began to smile more often.

I'm hungry.

Yeah, hang on.

I'm home!

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, girls.

Hi.

What a day...

Mom, you want tea?

Yes, please.

Yu?

Yes, thanks.

How's your sister?

Hmm...

She needs time.

But I'm sure she'll be okay.

Yeah.

Yosuke worried about my sister,

who smiled more than before.

Use it.

Three, four.!

Always the same part.

Whoops. Almost...

Once again.

Three, four.!

How's your sister?

Hmm...

I guess...

She's getting better than before.

Oh.

Yeah.

Your sister...

Hmm?

Was her high school uniform

a blazer or a middy?

What?

Uh...

Why do you ask?

Nothing.

Nothing?

But you're curious?

Hmm?

You wanna know?

Oh, forget it.

Well... let's see...

Let's see...

I'll tell you tomorrow.

You dwell on it tonight.

"Dwell?"

Stand up.

Bow.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, what the...

yu.

What's up with that uniform?

My mom washed both of myother ones,

so I borrowed my sister's.

Oh, really?

I see...

Just for today?

Yes.

Oh.

Well, all right, then.

Oh, yeah, Yu... Stop by at Career Guidance later.

Yes.

And Yosuke.

Yes.

You, too.

Career Guidance.

Yes.

Thank you.

Sure.

Well...

You know, these things...

you should at least pretend to be serious

about your future.

Well, no, you shouldn't pretend...

Um...

I don't know exactly...

But...

Um...

I hope to pursue a career

in music...

I hope to make a living that way.

Well...

I see what you're saying, but...

Want to smell it?

What?

You're sick.

Do you like that song?

What?

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Yosuke wants to talk to you.

He said he'd wait at

the floodgate at 5 tomorrow.

I'm not sure why, but

go see him, okay?

Okay.

Good.

Hey...

That uniform.

It's mine, isn't it?

Yeah.

I borrowed it.

Looks good on you.

Your sister came yesterday.

Oh.

She knew it.

My song.

I might have sung it at home

'cause you play the same part.

It's a nice song, isn't it?

Yeah...

A boy named Yosuke wrote it. He's my sister Yu's friend.

Yeah.

It's a nice song, right?

Um...

I have a question.

What?

After school, come to the floodgate.

What about my sister?

Huh?

No, she won't come.

I told her I wouldn't go.

Oh.

Okay.

Yu.

Yu, do you...

Yeah?

Um...

What?

Huh?

What?

Your sister...

Yeah...

No...

Nothing.

What?

No, sorry.

What about my sister?

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

About the same.

About the same.

What?

What?

Raise your hand.

No, like this...

Stretch it out like this.

What am I seeing?

Put more power in your finger...

What?

Why did I cry?

Why didn't / stop crying?

Why?

Three, four.!

Three, four.!

Three, four.!

I'm home.

Hi.

Hi.

Yu.

What do you want for dinner?

Anything's fine.

Want some apples for now?

Yeah.

Need a dish?

Yes, thanks.

Dig in.

Can we talk?

Yeah.
