Iroduku: The World in Colors (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Fragile Fragments - full transcript
Summer is almost over, when one day on the way home, Kohaku is taken to the place where Hitomi had seen colors. Kohaku, who strongly desires to make people happy through magic, struggles to...
I'll never forget about the first time I used magic.
I was elated to be able to use something so fantastic,
and wanted to shout a big "thank you"
to the whole world.
Ever since that day,
I've been chasing after one single dream.
I want to make everyone happy with magic!
The night when I lost who I used to be
The night when I felt no one loved me
If I could only believe
In a tomorrow that's crystal clear
I strained my eyes in the brightness
I don't even know
The color of your heart
We run to be sure we don't miss
The new season and the signs of someone
Even if it's far, even if it's far
Like a prayer
Searching for the light
The rainbow will come after the rain
This is amazing!
They're my favorite, next to rabbits.
I'm glad we go to do the shoot.
-This would make a good postcard too.
-I'll think about it.
-What colors are these guys?
-White and black.
Exactly how you see them.
This one's lower beak, ears and chest
are all a yellowish-orange color.
Is that so?
-Was that everyone's?
-Hitomi hasn't made one yet.
I couldn't think of one.
That's okay. It hasn't been that long
since you first got here.
If there's anywhere you want to go,
nearby or far away, let's go.
I'll let you know.
Join me for a bit.
Whereabouts did you see colors again?
I got on a train from Megane Bridge,
then it was probably near New China Town.
Since you told me the other day,
I can't get it off my mind.
The magic you may have used
unconsciously on yourself, that is.
Magic?
You see, I have a theory.
You can't see colors because you used magic
on yourself.
I did it myself? There's no way I would--
I know that! That's why I said unconsciously.
What's important is that lately you've been
able to see them.
Meaning, that the magic may be starting
to come undone.
Around here?
Is this a place you know?
Like, maybe somewhere you have
special memories in the future?
No.
Nothing really comes to mind.
I thought if we studied the moments you could color,
we might find a hint on how to dispel the magic.
Maybe the place has nothing to do with it.
In which case, the cause must be...
Did you do something with Yuito that day?
I know it's hard to talk about,
but this might be a huge lead in dispelling that magic!
Tell me in detail!
Let me think...
It's embarrassing.
It's okay, I'll wait until you can tell me.
I see.
-Honestly, I expected you at least kissed him.
-Kohaku!
Sorry, sorry!
Guess I'll have to do
more experimentation on this.
Experimentation?
On Yuito!
-Who's that?
-She's that mage girl...
That's her?
What's this about?
I told you, an experiment.
I have prep school soon--
This is for Hitomi's sake! Please!
Fine, just for 30 minutes though.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Now, try getting a little closer.
I'm sorry.
I know you're busy studying for exams.
If this will help you in some way,
then I don't really mind.
Hitomi, how do you feel?
Can you see colors?
No...
What are you trying to do?
I'm wondering if being around you
had any influence on Hitomi's ability to see colors.
But that might not be all there is to it.
What are they doing?
Who knows?
Come on, let's go.
-What? But this looks so interesting!
-We shouldn't be watching in secret.
Okay, time for the next experiment.
Yuito...
Hitomi, look up.
Yuito!
Yuito, don't look away.
Did you see colors?
No...
Okay, that's a wrap.
What was this about?
I thought you might see colors
if your emotions started flowing.
But you probably can't focus on your feelings
with me watching.
All right, on to the next experiment!
Sorry for dragging you into this.
I don't mind. If it's for you.
What was I going to say?
You forgot?
I guess so.
It's this picture.
-The first picture you saw in colors?
-Yes. I can see them now, too.
Is that so?
-How about this? It's a similar looking picture.
-Nope.
This one?
I see.
I'm going to look for more.
Something wrong?
No. I just remembered something
when I looked at this picture-book.
When I was little,
there was one picture book with colors I was able to see.
Though I don't remember what kind of book it was.
-By the way, about that solo exhibition...
-Oh, yeah?
She was really pretty.
What?
Nothing.
Oh, come on! You're not in grade school!
Move, books!
Close in, chairs.
-Wha--? I'm getting squished.
-It's Kohaku. I know it.
Your hair is caught.
Jeez, Kohaku!
Did that get your heart racing?
Did anything change?
Yeah, I'm mad!
Oh rich, storied sand, bathed in moonbeams.
Tell your tales in secret.
Well?
Not there yet.
Not surprising.
I even studied all through summer break.
Time magic isn't something so easily mastered, is it?
It's pretty tough.
I just hope I figure it out in time.
For that moment.
My future-self sent Hitomi back here with magic.
I want to be able to take responsibility
and send her back when she wants to go.
I'm practicing a little at a time.
I beseech thee, light and time, illuminate the distant flow.
Laws and logic that guide the world,
lend me your power.
Return the time within my hands!
See that?
You're able to use it?
That was minor time magic.
That's incredible, Kohaku!
Granny loved this rose.
I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
Thanks for the drink.
I'm going to keep at it for a bit.
Sounds good.
Fragile Fragments
Will this place work?
-I wanted to capture everyday scenery.
-But what's there to photograph?
I think it's a good change of pace.
Shoots like this are refreshing.
The path to school,
the stuff we see throughout our lives.
That's what I wanted to photograph.
Taking pictures of casual scenery
will put your photo sense to the test, Chigusa.
Don't set up hurdles for me.
-What are you photographing?
-Isn't it cute?
It's pretty cute.
Hey, take one of me, too!
You're not cute.
Sorry, I'm not good at photographing people.
Wow, that was harsh.
-The two of you are in perfect form.
-What?
You think so?
It isn't painful for you staying in that form?
Not really.
Is it for you, Asagi?
I'm fine with the way things are.
If I confessed,
I feel like I'd just be forcing my feelings onto him.
Is the ocean any different?
Right now, it seems to be sparkling.
Maybe it's a new impression.
I want to confirm these things
for myself, one by one.
I want to burn them into my memory
while taking these photos.
That way, I won't forget everyone here either.
-Will you want to go back one day?
-What?
To 60 years from now.
I'm counting on you, Yuito.
Yeah, like that.
That's perfect.
Here. Here, kitty.
They ran away.
Come on! Hurry, hurry! I'll take it with you!
-It's fine, really!
-This is your chance!
The third-years are leaving
after the Culture Festival!
Hey.
Do you think she'll be leaving soon?
Hitomi, I mean.
Kohaku mentioned that before.
Oh, yeah?
Is that all right with you?
It's not our business.
Hitomi's circumstances are her own.
You don't have to act tough.
I'm not.
You are.
-I'm not.
-None of us want Hitomi to leave.
That's how I feel too.
When I heard that she couldn't see colors,
I was taken aback.
It was a shock.
It must've been hard keeping that to herself.
I want her to be happy.
Now that we finally get along.
I know what you mean.
-Whoa!
-Where'd you come from?
Guys!
-Hey, check it out!
-What? This is amazing.
Is this magic?
That's right. I used a little for the photos.
-We've been outdone.
-It's a shutter chance!
I'll do it!
Really? Thanks!
-Here we go! There.
-Hey!
I took one.
-No, let's retake it. I made a horrid face.
-I don't think you can help that.
How you process the photo
will depend on how you see it,
and how you want to see it.
-How I want to?
-Yep.
Once you adjust the brightness and contrast,
the photo will look very different.
-Why don't we give it a try?
-Okay.
These look different than before.
Maybe because
you're taking more photos of people.
-You think so?
-Yeah.
At first, a lot of your photos seemed like
maybe you thought they didn't needed light.
But lately you've been taking more that convey light.
I wonder if that means I've changed.
I like how you are now.
You look like you're having lots of fun.
Hitomi.
What is it?
Will you want to go back one day?
To 60 years from now.
It's nothing.
-If you need any help, let me know.
-Thanks, I will.
Maybe it's just no good.
No way.
Hey, pres. Can you check sweet Asa's camera?
I was taking photos outside,
and the power suddenly shut off.
How's the battery?
I just charged it.
It won't turn on. The circuit board might be fried.
Really?
Ask your uncle about it when you get home.
I'm not sure if it can be fixed.
I will. What a bummer.
May I have a look?
I beseech thee, light and time, illuminate the distant flow.
Laws and logic that guide the world, lend me your power.
Return the time within my hands!
Try giving it a shot now.
Let's see.
It's fixed!
Was that magic?
-That was amazing, Kohaku!
-Well, you know, I can do that much.
I'm so glad. Thanks, Kohaku!
Amazing!
-It really works!
-Let me see.
I'm home!
It wasn't bloomed yet!
Welcome back. Oh, it's dried up already.
Granny!
I'd hoped it would hold out
until the flowers bloomed again.
What a shame.
Did my magic fail?
I don't know.
I won't be able to send Hitomi to the future like this.
Why do you think your future self
didn't describe how to send Hitomi back?
Maybe she knew the you in this time could figure it out,
and intentionally didn't tell you.
I'm sure it will work out.
Kohaku!
Are you okay?
Sorry for calling you so late.
I don't mind at all.
Anyway...
I took another look at it like you asked,
and it stopped working again.
Can I see it?
Sorry, I wasn't powerful enough.
No, it's okay.
My dad said it'll be fine if we just send it in for repairs.
More impressively, I'm amazed you knew.
My family was like,
"Is Kohaku some kind of prophet?"
Hitomi took a really nice picture.
-I like this one too.
-She's even better than Chigusa.
-Yeah? I feel the same.
-You're now a fine Photography Club member, Hitomi.
-Thanks!
-A Magic Photography Arts Club member!
You're splitting hairs.
It's important!
I hope I'll be able to take non-monochromatic pictures
if we're eventually all together again.
I've been thinking about it
ever since you mentioned it.
Whether I want to return to the future or not.
I want to stay here.
I want to make everyone happy with magic.
But making someone happy with magic
is exceedingly difficult.
The special view
That awaits on top of the hill
You cut it out with your fingers
Magic grazes my ear
And the world changes color
Leaving me behind
The future scatters downward
It scatters downward and spreads under my feet
Even if monotony builds up and I feel depressed
If I can embrace
The eternal tomorrow
I'll get a little closer to you
She laughs a lot lately.
I wouldn't be able to change if I was alone.
Are they going on a date?
You could've guessed.
I think she wants the answer.
There's something I haven't told you.
-I like you.
-I like...
