Suzuka (2005–2006): Season 1, Episode 3 - Mimai - full transcript

Your profile looking up
towards the blue sky

The stopped spiral of time

I'm always stubborn
and hiding my feelings

I ache for you so much
(I pine for you so much) that it hurts

I'm not actually that strong

In truth, I become afraid
about the distance between us two

I want you to touch my heart

If I can still reach the goal
taking the long way around

Start line

A story that unravels the heart

I'll say goodbye to tears
and walk towards the future



Because I can go with the kindness
I found clasped to my heart

Please, just for now,
stay the way you are

Well, I'm off to school!

Yamato, do you have a handkerchief?

Button up your uniform...

My high school life is about to start!

Yamato, hurry up!
Suzuka is already ahead of us!

Wait, Asahina!

I'm at a new starting line,
and I feel like something will change.

Something good... will happen...

"New School Year Entrance Ceremony"

No way! You're also in Class C, Yamato?

Suzuka, me too.

What? Does it bother you
that we're in the same class?



Not really...

Not really... Gee thanks.

Can't you get a little more excited?

She even left without me this morning...
She's so stuck-up.

That boy's name... is Akitsuki...

Shopping?

Yeah. Can you go with me after practice?

But why with me?

I was asked to buy a dozen sports drinks,

but my friend who was supposed
to go with me is absent today.

Do you have any commitments already?

N-Nothing really...

Thanks! Then wait for me after school.

Oh well, it sounds like a pain
in the neck, but I'll go with you.

Asahina!

Huh?

You're in Class C,
we're right next to each other!

Well, I'll see you later.

Y-Yeah.

What time does practice start today?

It starts at one o'clock.

Were we supposed to bring something?

Oh, that's cute.

But it's sorta weird.

They're friends from track and field.

She already made friends...

Really?

I'm serious, I saw it!

Wow!

That's cute. Where did you buy it?

It's a secret!

I feel so alienated.
Everyone's friends with everyone else.

Basketball? I don't know the rules.

Doesn't matter, let's join in!

Why do girls talk about
breaking up so often?

They really do, don't they?

They actually don't want to,
they just say that.

Yasunobu is chatting with his friends...

Asahina isn't in the classroom yet...

I'm the only one left out.

Uh... Akitsuki...

Huh?

Well... we're in the same class.

Who... are you?

Huh? You don't... remember?

How about secret...

Oh, I didn't tell you my name yet.

I'm Honoka Sakurai.

Huh? Sakurai?

I forgot to tell him where to meet...

His friend?

Oh? That's Sakurai over there.

Hatori... Do you know her?

Yeah, we went to the
same junior high school...

She usually doesn't
start talking to guys.

Yamato is getting picked up by her!

Aren't they just friends?

Yamato doesn't have
any friends except us!

Yamato is a kind of shy around girls,
so I've been worried about him.

But I'm glad.

They're probably making a date for today.

So, how about the two of us
going out? Are you listening?

Okay everyone, go back to your seats.

T-Talk to you later.

Y-Yeah.

Oh! Sorry!

Sakurai... Honoka Sakurai...

Who is she? I really don't remember.

Well, I'll wait for Asahina.

Now where were we supposed to meet?

Uh... Akitsuki...

Honoka.

S-Sorry... hold on sec...

Oh, Asahina! About our shopping today...

It's okay. I'll go by myself.

Huh?

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Wait!

Hey, Asahina!

W-What's her problem?
I really don't understand.

Um... Akitsuki, is she...

Huh? She's my friend. But she's so crazy.

A friend...

By the way, have we met
somewhere before?

I really can't remember.

When I was in elementary school...

I saw you at my family's shrine...
Inari Shrine which you often visit.

My family's shrine?

You mean your family runs that shrine?

Yes... When I played with the bell
and broke it a long time ago...

Oh no! Daddy will be so upset with me.

Oh, you broke the bell.

That's bad. I bet you
hung from it, didn't you?

Um... I'm sorry.

I thought you were going to
tell my dad that I broke the bell...

Stop crying. I'll fix it.

This dent isn't so bad...

It's impossible...

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Wow!

Look, this is between you and me.

O-Okay. It's our secret.

Just between you and me...

Oh! Now I remember...

I'm glad you remember it.

Actually, sometimes I went
there and ate croquettes.

Oh, really...

Actually, I saw you often
eating croquettes there...

Akitsuki, do you like croquettes?

Not only croquettes,
but I like everything tasty!

Well, do you know about
the new okonomiyaki restaurant

near the train station?

Oh, yeah. I've been wanting to go there!

R-Really?

Well... How about... Um...

Can... we... go... there... today?

Um... Today?

I-it's okay, if you can't.

I just asked you...

It's okay. I'll go by myself.

I really don't understand her!

Why should I wait for her
after she says that to me?!

Oh...

Huh?

Boy, we had a long practice today.

Asahina, don't forget
the dozen sports drinks, okay?

Okay.

A dozen... I'll need to make
two trips to carry them all.

I wish Yamato were here to help me.

They're probably making a date for today.

He's so wishy washy!

Don't tell me if you can't do it!

Oh...

How long do I have to wait
for you? Be more considerate!

Y-Yamato!

Did you wait for me? For five hours?

I didn't have much choice.
It's too heavy for you to carry, right?

Yamato... Akitsuki...

Sorry, Honoka. But I'm supposed
to go shopping with Suzuka today...

I don't want to, but she needs some help.

He's very kind... and honest...

You're really nuts!
Who'd wait for five hours!

Huh?

Hey! Who do you think I did this for?!

It was damn cold!

Are you listening to me, Asahina!

"Shusse Inari"

Good morning, Akitsuki.

Hey! I got a cold because
I was waiting for you!

How can you say I'm crazy!

I didn't ask you to wait,
so don't blame me.

Say that again?

You'd better go to bed, Yamato.
I already notified the school.

That's right. You don't
want to get worse, right?

I'm off to school now.

I don't want to catch a cold
before the meet.

Hey, wait.

Go ahead and take this medicine, Yamato.

Right, or you'll die, Yamato.

Let me take attendance.

Akitsuki is absent with a cold.

Asahina.

Yes.

Inoue.

Here.

Akitsuki has a cold. I hope he's OK...

School just started...
and that idiot is already sick...

Who catches a cold in April?

Asahina, sorry about yesterday.

I had no idea that your partner was out.

One dozen must've been very heavy.

But another friend helped me.

That's good.

Actually, I could've managed by myself.

Really?

I feel like... I'm getting worse...

Sorry, Yamato. But I'll be busy
until late tonight...

Miho will be home by around five.

Ayano and Miho
won't come back for a while...

I... might die, Goro...

Asahina will... No, that'll never happen...

Can that be... Asahina?

What's up?

Wh... at?

Speak up louder!
One more time! What's up!

Go home. You make me more tired.

Are you sure? I've brought a girl.

Uh... Are you... all right, Akitsuki?

H-Honoka?

"Yamato Akitsuki"

"Yamato Akitsuki"
She insisted on coming to visit you.

"Yamato Akitsuki"
No, I didn't...

It's okay. I'm gonna get some
orange juice and leave you guys alone.

So enjoy yourselves!

Stop it!

Akitsuki...

Are you all right?
Sorry for coming by when you're sick.

I-It's okay.

This is your room...

There's a cat!

Sorry, the room is messy.

N-No, it's not.

Well, it's very nice of you
to come visit me.

Although Asahina lives next door,
she didn't even visit me.

What? Asahina lives here?

Oh, didn't I tell you yet?
This is my aunt's complex.

I see...

That's why they're close friends...

Uh... Are you hungry, Akitsuki?

Not really. I don't have an appetite now...

That's not good. You need to eat,
especially when you're sick.

Can I make you something?

R-Really?

Yeah. Believe me.
I'll make something tasty...

But I don't have any cooking utensils.

Don't worry. My house is near by,
so I'll bring something.

That's right... I live close to him, too.

If I try hard enough, maybe I can
become closer to him than Asahina.

Asahina...

Is she going to visit Yamato?

Oh hi, Sakurai.
I didn't know you were here.

Yeah. I was going to make
some food for Akitsuki.

I see... Please tell him to get well soon.

Uh... Asahina. Don't you want to see him?

No, I don't want to catch his cold.

O-Okay.

They may not be such close friends...

Oh! I'd better hurry! I'll go home
and make something for him.

Boy, that was really delicious!

Thanks for dinner.

Uh... well...

You're such a good cook, Honoka.

Yeah. I especially like
the flavor of the bonito broth.

Honoka, how about me?

Sorry, it's all gone.

Don't worry, Yamato.
You won't die from skipping a meal.

That's right.

What are you guys doing here?
My fever is getting...

Don't worry, Yamato.
I'll take care of your cold.

Here we go. I'll give you a shot.

No!

What the hell is that?
I don't care for those things!

Really?

How about this?

Okay, open up your jammies.

Stop it!

Be quiet! Hold his legs, Hatori!

Okay.

--Don't move!
--Whoa! Stop it!

It sounds loud upstairs...

Hatori and Sakurai are visiting Yamato.
Oh, Saotome, too.

Should I leave his dinner here?

He'll be fine. Because Sakurai
told me she's cooking for him.

Then let me take this away.

Oh... Hey, Goro.

Goro is going to have his dinner, Mom.

They all finally left, but...

...I'm starving...

I can't believe Asahina didn't
come to visit me at all.

I caught a cold because
I was waiting for you!

Humph, that's not my fault!

Maybe I should try it...

Damn! I'm starving! I feel awful!

You're such an ingrate, Asahina!

Hey, why are you guys coming back!?

Oh, Asahina...

The door wasn't locked...

It's not my fault if you catch my cold.

Well, then you can
pay for medicine at least.

Here we go.

What's that?

I had nothing to do, so I just made it.

Well, I know you're stuffed
with Sakurai's food...

Really? You're a lifesaver!

Huh?

I'm really starving! Thank you, Asahina!

Really? Why didn't you
tell me that earlier...

What's this?

A honey and lemon drink...

...without the honey.

It's sour!

I didn't have honey...

Then, it's just a lemon drink!

Sorry. You don't have to finish it.

No way. I'm starving right now.

I'll finish it no matter what!

Huh?

Besides, no one else
would drink anything so sour.

Yamato...

Actually, it's not so bad having a cold...

Really sour...

But I guess anyone can boil eggs.

Well sure, I just put them in the microwave.

W-What's wrong?

You can't just make everything
in a microwave!

Oh, I can't?

Isn't it obvious?

I'll become the wind
on the green field

Right now, I'll just...

Get a little "reckless"
and "fired up" and speed up

Let's go

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

Living recklessly like this
isn't altogether bad, either

Something'll happen,
I have this feeling

Day after day
of getting covered in bruises

Some days, I feel my "limit", though...

I'll become the wind
on the green field

I'll run right through the moment

The shapes of things change,
it's just the way it is

You can't stop it...

A little "stubborn" and "mischievous"

"Competitive"

That spirit

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

Okay, let's practice.

A-Asahina, I forgot my umbrella,
so can I share yours?

If you don't want to, that's fine.

What is he doing?!

Could he be a stalker?
