Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
When You Stare into a Losing Heroine, the Losing Heroine Stares Back into You
[KOMARI]
Please go out with me!
[TAMAKI]
Wow, uh.
Sorry, but this is all
pretty sudden, you know?
Can I have some time
to think about it?
♪
[stunned]
[footfall]
Why didn't you just
turn her down?
This is between me and Komari.
It has nothing to do with you.
Huh! Sure, that's fair.
We've never been
more than childhood friends.
[annoyed]
It's my fault
for getting it twisted!
[Tamaki groans]
[NUKUMIZU] Can we all just go
back to playing with fireworks?
[NUKUMIZU] The president
made it sound like Komari
might actually have a chance.
Didn't see that coming.
Tsukinoki ending up
as a losing heroine is wild.
[yelps]
Have you been sitting in there
this whole time?
[TAMAKI I can't decide
which one of them to go after.
-Will you help me?
-Hm.
I could use some advice
right now.
[NUKUMIZU]
Is he for real?
He's better off asking a worm
how to outfly a bird.
You know I asked Koto out once,
but she shot me down.
Uh? Yeah, I'm not seeing it.
You mean, like when
you were in elementary school?
No, last year.
It was on Christmas, actually.
[NUKUMIZU]
Ooh, still fresh.
So why would she get angry
like that
when she had already
rejected me?
It just doesn't make any sense,
right?
Considering how she reacted
to you
there might be
some kind of misunderstanding.
So, maybe you should
go back there
and talk it out with her.
-Wow, dude.
-Hm?
That's good advice.
You must've been
through this before.
[NUKUMIZU]
Is that a joke?
[Anna mumbles]
[Anna mumbles]
[NUKUMIZU]
Try swallowing first.
[ANNA] Tsukinoki just took
all her things and left!
Where would she even go
this late?
[ANNA]
I have no idea.
[both surprised]
♪
[footsteps approaching]
[TAMAKI]
Koto.
I'm kinda confused.
Last Christmas, weren't you
the one who turned me down?
Huh?
Wait, me? Turn you down?
Remember? By that big tree
at the station.
Does "In your dreams,"
ring a bell?
Hold up.
Are we talking
about the time you said
"If no one wants to marry you,
I guess I could fill in?"
[NUKUMIZU] 'That's what
the president meant by'
"asking her out?"
'He's a bigger moron
than I thought!'
Are you kidding me here?
That's not
how you ask someone out,
especially on Christmas!
Are you really that stupid?
-[Koto sobs]
-Uh.
[sobs]
You jerk.
This whole time,
I've been waiting for you.
It's been so long.
Koto, I'm sorry.
[Anna excited]
Hey, let's go.
Dude it's just starting
to get juicy though.
You're no fun at all,
Nukumizu!
-Could you--
-We're leaving.
-But--
-Just stop.
We need to give them
some space.
[NUKUMIZU]
Uh-uh
What's wrong?
[ANNA]
Uh, my hand?
You ever gonna let go of it?
Huh?
Oh, right I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to, uh.
-Sorry again.
-Whoa.
[ANNA]
There's no reason to freak out.
[smiles]
[ANNA]
Or is there?
Maybe you have something
you need to tell me, huh?
Nope. Nothing.
[ANNA]
Go ahead. I don't mind.
I'll turn you down, though.
Like I said, there's nothing!
Aah!
Hey,
I wasn't expecting
to find you roaming the woods.
What are you doing out here?
Looking for stag beetles.
I was thinking I'd give one
to Komari to cheer her up.
[NUKUMIZU] In what world
would a beetle cheer her up?
Check this one out. It's huge!
You should keep it, Nuku.
[KOMARI]
You just missed the president.
He, uh. He said no.
He formally turned me down.
Oh yeah?
At least, he gave you
a straight answer?
[chuckles]
If it had been you,
I'm betting
you would have chickened out
and left me hanging.
That obvious, huh?
Yeah, because you're the worst.
[KOMARI] You know, he really
had to give it some thought.
It seems so strange
but the president actually
considered dating me.
[chuckles]
For just a second,
I had Tskinoki beat.
[sobs]
Can you go?
Please, I'm gonna cry now.
Go away.
[sobs]
♪
[NUKUMIZU]
Until recently
these people were strangers
to me.
Just faces in the crowd.
And now here I am,
getting caught up
in their drama.
Can't help but wonder
what'll happen after camp ends.
Maybe
I'll try writing something.
[crickets chirping]
[TAMAKI]
Uploading the first part now.
Are you sure you wanna
submit this as-is, Komari?
Yes, and use that title.
I would rather not split it up.
I think people should read
part one like this.
Yeah, good idea.
You're right,
I think they're gonna
appreciate your writing more
this way too.
All right. It's up.
Um, do you think
since I'm new,
and don't know the site
that you could maybe,
give me more pointers as we go?
Sure thing, anytime.
[smiles]
[footfalls]
Huh?
So, my story it's,
it's up on the site now
and I hope you'll read it
when you get the chance to.
Hm. I can totally do that.
-[KOMARI] And um,
-Uh.
please stay in Lit Club.
It'd be weird if
you stopped coming, you know?
Huh.
Right. Um of course.
I'll still be here.
Crap I'm sorry.
No it's fine. I'll be okay.
Don't worry about me.
See we're good.
-[Koto sobs]
-[KOMARI] Please don't cry.
[KOMARI]
I'm okay.
Thanks.
[cries]
[indistinct chatter]
-You saw?
-Yesterday?
Oh yeah, totally!
-Morning, Nuku!
-Uh.
Right, um, good morning.
My draft for the Lit Club
is ready.
-Oh, wow. You drew this?
-Yeah.
Do you think you can scan it
and put it up
on that site for me?
[NUKUMIZU]
Wait, is that me?
[LEMON]
Did you upload yours?
Uh, yeah.
It's only the beginning,
though.
[female students laughing]
[FEMALE STUDENT 4B]
He posted that?
[LEMON] Hey, you've already
got some comments!
Anyway, toss mine up
when you get a chance.
Um, sure.
[nervous]
I could never. Could you?
I don't think so.
Oh, yeah.
[sighs]
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C]
Did you hear?
Yanami's been hanging around
with some new guy recently.
-Wait, what?
-Who is it?
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C] You know,
that dude from our class.
What's his name uh.
Nukumizu, I think?
[FEMALE STUDENT 4E] Oh,
that sounds kinda familiar.
Yanami's pretty popular though,
isn't she?
She seems out of his league.
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C]
For sure.
You know she's got awful taste.
[FEMALE STUDENT 4E]
True.
I don't even know
what he looks like, but still.
[girls laughing]
So what do you think
they are to each other, anyway?
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C]
Who knows?
[FEMALE STUDENT 4E]
I guess I don't really get
her vibe, either.
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C]
Something's off.
-[girls chuckle]
-[FEMALE STUDENT 4D] Yep.
[smiles]
♪
-[frustrated]
-[STUDENT 4A] We're waiting!
Uh.
[indistinct chatter]
[birds chirping]
[ANNA]
What was that about before?
-So rude.
-Huh?
You totally ignored me.
Well, I wasn't trying to
or anything.
Hmm.
I'll let it go, then.
Not bad.
Is that Cucumber and miso?
[ANNA]
Yeah. What's it worth to you?
Hm.
-Something wrong?
-Uh
[NUKUMIZU] Two-thousand,
eight-hundred sixty-seven yen.
Wow that's a new record.
Uh. It also sounds suspiciously
like the same amount
I still owe you.
So let's call it even.
I'm starting to feel
like I'm taking
advantage of you or something.
I mean, you must have
better things to do.
But thanks for all the bentos!
They were really good.
I know this lunch thing
only started
because I needed
to pay you back,
but I haven't exactly hated it.
I don't want it to end
for no reason.
That seems weird.
People have noticed us
eating lunch together
and they've been spreading
rumors about it.
You know what that's like.
A bunch of girls thinking
that we're--
Just stop.
I don't understand.
What's wrong?
Did I do something?
Like, hurt you
or make you angry?
That's not it!
Not at all. It isn't you.
Like I said,
people are talking.
Uh?
They're saying all kinds of
weird stuff and it bugs me.
Hmm.
-[ANNA] That so?
-Huh?
Fine then. I won't bother
talking to you anymore.
Guess it was kind of fun,
so thank you for that.
Bye.
[door opens]
[crickets chirping]
[door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[LEMON]
You sure seem out of it.
More than usual?
I'm pretty much
always out of it, so.
Oh?
Or maybe you have a certain
someone on your mind?
Hey, none of my business
but you'll regret it
if you don't say something.
I had to learn that
the hard way.
♪
[door opens]
[both gasp]
You're in here.
I was just returning
a book I borrowed.
Hey, Yanami, can we talk?
I guess. But my friends
are waiting for me,
so keep it short.
[Nukumizu nervous]
I wanted to tell you.
I started looking forward
to it.
Bentos with you.
Maybe not at first, but I, uh.
You what?
Well, um, I had fun.
I just thought you should know.
Cool. Are you done?
Then I'm out.
[footfalls]
[rain splattering]
-[door opens]
-Hm.
-[amused]
-[NUKUMIZU] Komari?
I heard the news.
She, she dumped you,
didn't she?
Poor thing.
Must be so sad
and I guess I should feel bad
for you, but I don't.
Yanami and I were
never like that, though.
You sure seemed smug
when the rest of us got dumped.
Hmph. Serves you right.
♪
[NUKUMIZU]
Dumped, huh? Weird.
I mean, I can see why people
might have thought
we were together
but it wasn't like that.
We were just.
[FEMALE STUDENT 4I]
Hey, are you ready?
[NUKUMIZU] Actually,
I don't know what we were.
[SOSUKE]
There you are.
[NUKUMIZU]
Hakamada?
Been looking for you.
[smiles]
Uh. Huh?
[NUKUMIZU]
I know this scene. Yep.
Shakedown time.
[surprised]
What's with the wallet, man?
[NUKUMIZU] Oh!
Oh, good. I read that wrong.
[chuckles]
For a quiet guy,
you can be really funny
sometimes.
So, you and Anna
are dating now, huh?
Uh?
You're that couple everyone's
talking about, aren't you?
Fooling around on the stairs?
No, it's nothing like that!
[laughs]
I'm happy for you two.
Would you listen?
If Anna found a guy she likes
then I'm glad to hear it.
But please, dude,
take good care of--
[stunned]
Hey, you've got it all wrong!
[serene]
I mean.
You do know Yanami always
had a thing for you, right?
Well, I guess.
She doesn't feel like that
about me!
But she still feels that way
about you!
Hello, boys. Having a
cozy little chat, are we?
-[Nukumizu startled]
-Anna?
Komari sent me
an urgent message
saying you were out here
getting bullied
by some good-looking guy!
Sorry, Anna.
I just really hoped
you'd found someone new.
Uh.
Don't do this.
It won't help.
All I want is
for you to be happy.
-[ANNA] Stop.
-Listen,
there are other guys
a lot better than me.
-Stop now!
-But it's true!
-[Anna sobs]
-She said to stop it!
Here's the deal, Hakamada.
Go ahead and reject Anna
and move on with your life,
date whoever you wanna date.
I don't care!
But you have no right
to tell her
how she's supposed to feel.
You'll just ruin
whatever friendship
you have left.
I mean, come on.
Don't you get it?
"Go, be happy
and find someone new."
She doesn't wanna hear
that from you.
From the guy
who broke her heart!
It's not your place.
You're the last person
who should--
[coughs]
[stunned]
Whoa! Take it easy. Hey.
[clears throat]
You're right.
I'll shut my stupid mouth.
Oh. Okay and sorry.
I got a bit carried away.
[smiles]
You're talking
like I'm not even here!
Stop it. Don't pretend
this is some happy ending!
-[stunned]
-[gasps]
-Sosuke! I like you.
-Huh?
I've liked you for years.
I'm not over you, and
I don't know when I will be!
-I'm sorry. I--
-Don't apologize!
Whoever I fall for next
is none of your business!
'Cause even though
I still really like you,
you don't feel the same.
And you've got someone else.
So go be happy with her
and leave me out of it,
'cause I'm gonna keep
liking you if I want to.
I'm gonna keep being sad
and then someday,
when I'm ready, I'll move on.
Huh?
[grunts]
Huh?
Do you wanna explain
why you're hitting me now?
Don't give me that!
You're both
guilty parties here.
But I do think Sosuke
owes you an apology.
Oh, right, of course.
I'm sorry about this.
I shouldn't have dragged you
into it.
No, no, it's okay.
[ANNA]
Your turn, Nukumizu.
Tell me you're sorry
and make it good, too.
Uh
Well?
♪
Right sorry.
I overstepped my bounds.
Thanks I forgive you.
[smiles]
Um?
So, how are we supposed to
end a conversation like this?
[both unsure]
[NUKUMIZU]
I'm guessing awkwardly.
[indistinct chatter]
[AMANATSU] I believe I've given
everyone their report cards.
You did it, kiddos.
Summer vacation is here!
[MALE STUDENT 4B] Summer break.
[MALE STUDENT 4C] Heck yeah.
-Cute.
-I know.
[indistinct chatter]
♪
-[KOMARI] Oh, you're here.
-Uh?
Did that guy take your money
yesterday or what?
Of course he didn't.
So, what happened?
Did he take
''something else'' from you?
[NUKUMIZU]
Don't get worked up.
Hey, Yana, maybe
we shouldn't interrupt them,
I think they're having
a moment here.
Oh come on,
I highly doubt that.
It is Nukumizu.
Wait. Were you two
having a moment?
[NUKUMIZU]
Don't be an idiot.
Is the literature club
doing anything during vacation?
[NUKUMIZU]
Um, Tsukinoki did say
she wanted to
do something together.
Sounds fun! If you want
to hunt beetles, I'm down!
The training camp was awesome,
wasn't it?
Yeah, I guess so.
[ANNA]
Hmm? What is it?
Oh, uh, nothing.
I'll tell you later.
[Komari]
I, um.
I've been thinking about maybe
starting running
or something like that.
So, um, think you can you
teach me about form and stuff--
I'd love to!
We'll get your hundred meter
below twelve seconds in no time!
-Nukumizu!
-Huh?
You owe me big for this one!
[LEMON] One, two, one, two.
I call it the Yakishio method!
[ANNA]
Kinda weird, isn't it?
-Huh?-
-I mean,
I didn't even know
you and Komari
and look at where we are now.
Lit Club, too.
I had no clue what it was about
till we went on that trip.
But, you know,
when I tried writing,
I thought it was really fun.
And I've actually enjoyed
the books Komari recommended.
[smiles]
Turns out I like to read.
Uh.
[inhales and exhales]
-What's with you?
-Yanami, we need to talk.
[suspicious]
Huh, we do?
Yeah.
About something important.
[gasps]
Uh
Mm. 'Kay, so,
maybe you should wait a bit.
Just think things through
more carefully, I mean,
'cause there's a time and place
for everything, you know.
I have thought it through.
And if I don't say it now,
I know I'll regret it.
[stunned]
Ugh, okay. Fine talk.
I'll hear you out.
[nervous]
Yanami, will you
[wind howling]
Um, yes?
[NUKUMIZU]
Will you be my friend?
[ANNA] Sorry
I think of you as a friend!
-Your friend?
-Mm-hmm.
Uh
[laughs]
[laughs]
I had it all wrong!
Wait hold on a second.
I didn't even ask you out
and you turned me down?
[chuckles]
Yeah guess I did.
[chuckles]
Sorry about that.
Welcome to
the Land of the Dumped.
That's not fair.
I wasn't dumped!
If I was gonna ask you out,
we'd have to be friends for
two or three years first.
Then, if we were both ready,
we could try.
[ANNA]
You just described a proposal.
Should I go ahead
and reject that
ahead of time while I'm at it?
I can pencil it
into my calendar.
No, that's not what I--
We've been friends
this entire time, haven't we?
Huh, we have?
Sure.
What else would you call us?
I just feel like you get me,
Nukumizu.
I promise you I don't, Yanami.
-Uh!
-Uh!
[both laugh]
I needed that. Thanks.
You're very welcome, sir.
I'm glad I know you
fellow dumpee.
Uh
[smiles]
Uh
[NUKUMIZU] For the record
I still haven't been dumped.

what he looks like, but still.

So what do you think
they are to each other, anyway?
[FEMALE STUDENT 4C]
Who knows?

I guess I don't really get
her vibe, either.

[ANNA]
What was that about before?
-So rude.
-Huh?
You totally ignored me.
Well, I wasn't trying to
or anything.
Hmm.
I'll let it go, then.
Not bad.
Is that Cucumber and miso?
[ANNA]
Yeah. What's it worth to you?
Hm.
-Something wrong?
-Uh
[NUKUMIZU] Two-thousand,
eight-hundred sixty-seven yen.
Wow that's a new record.
Uh. It also sounds suspiciously
like the same amount
I still owe you.
So let's call it even.
I'm starting to feel
like I'm taking
advantage of you or something.
I mean, you must have
better things to do.
But thanks for all the bentos!
They were really good.
I know this lunch thing
only started
because I needed
to pay you back,
but I haven't exactly hated it.
I don't want it to end
for no reason.
That seems weird.
People have noticed us
eating lunch together
and they've been spreading
rumors about it.
You know what that's like.
A bunch of girls thinking
that we're--
Just stop.
I don't understand.
What's wrong?
Did I do something?
Like, hurt you
or make you angry?
That's not it!
Not at all. It isn't you.
Like I said,
people are talking.
Uh?
They're saying all kinds of
weird stuff and it bugs me.
Hmm.
-[ANNA] That so?
-Huh?
Fine then. I won't bother
talking to you anymore.
Guess it was kind of fun,
so thank you for that.
Bye.

You sure seem out of it.
More than usual?
I'm pretty much
always out of it, so.
Oh?
Or maybe you have a certain
someone on your mind?
Hey, none of my business
but you'll regret it
if you don't say something.
I had to learn that
the hard way.

[door opens]
[both gasp]
You're in here.
I was just returning
a book I borrowed.
Hey, Yanami, can we talk?
I guess. But my friends
are waiting for me,
so keep it short.
[Nukumizu nervous]
I wanted to tell you.
I started looking forward
to it.
Bentos with you.
Maybe not at first, but I, uh.
You what?
Well, um, I had fun.
I just thought you should know.
Cool. Are you done?
Then I'm out.

-Hm.

-[NUKUMIZU] Komari?
I heard the news.
She, she dumped you,
didn't she?
Poor thing.
Must be so sad
and I guess I should feel bad
for you, but I don't.
Yanami and I were
never like that, though.
You sure seemed smug
when the rest of us got dumped.
Hmph. Serves you right.

[NUKUMIZU]
Dumped, huh? Weird.
I mean, I can see why people
might have thought
we were together
but it wasn't like that.
We were just.
[FEMALE STUDENT 4I]
Hey, are you ready?
[NUKUMIZU] Actually,
I don't know what we were.
[SOSUKE]
There you are.
[NUKUMIZU]
Hakamada?
Been looking for you.
[smiles]
Uh. Huh?
[NUKUMIZU]
I know this scene. Yep.
Shakedown time.
[surprised]
What's with the wallet, man?
[NUKUMIZU] Oh!
Oh, good. I read that wrong.
[chuckles]
For a quiet guy,
you can be really funny
sometimes.
So, you and Anna
are dating now, huh?
Uh?
You're that couple everyone's
talking about, aren't you?
Fooling around on the stairs?
No, it's nothing like that!
[laughs]
I'm happy for you two.
Would you listen?
If Anna found a guy she likes
then I'm glad to hear it.
But please, dude,
take good care of--
[stunned]
Hey, you've got it all wrong!
[serene]
I mean.
You do know Yanami always
had a thing for you, right?
Well, I guess.
She doesn't feel like that
about me!
But she still feels that way
about you!
Hello, boys. Having a
cozy little chat, are we?
-[Nukumizu startled]
-Anna?
Komari sent me
an urgent message
saying you were out here
getting bullied
by some good-looking guy!
Sorry, Anna.
I just really hoped
you'd found someone new.
Uh.
Don't do this.
It won't help.
All I want is
for you to be happy.
-[ANNA] Stop.
-Listen,
there are other guys
a lot better than me.
-Stop now!
-But it's true!
-[Anna sobs]
-She said to stop it!
Here's the deal, Hakamada.
Go ahead and reject Anna
and move on with your life,
date whoever you wanna date.
I don't care!
But you have no right
to tell her
how she's supposed to feel.
You'll just ruin
whatever friendship
you have left.
I mean, come on.
Don't you get it?
"Go, be happy
and find someone new."
She doesn't wanna hear
that from you.
From the guy
who broke her heart!
It's not your place.
You're the last person
who should--
[coughs]
[stunned]
Whoa! Take it easy. Hey.
[clears throat]
You're right.
I'll shut my stupid mouth.
Oh. Okay and sorry.
I got a bit carried away.
[smiles]
You're talking
like I'm not even here!
Stop it. Don't pretend
this is some happy ending!
-[stunned]
-[gasps]
-Sosuke! I like you.
-Huh?
I've liked you for years.
I'm not over you, and
I don't know when I will be!
-I'm sorry. I--
-Don't apologize!
Whoever I fall for next
is none of your business!
'Cause even though
I still really like you,
you don't feel the same.
And you've got someone else.
So go be happy with her
and leave me out of it,
'cause I'm gonna keep
liking you if I want to.
I'm gonna keep being sad
and then someday,
when I'm ready, I'll move on.
Huh?
[grunts]
Huh?
Do you wanna explain
why you're hitting me now?
Don't give me that!
You're both
guilty parties here.
But I do think Sosuke
owes you an apology.
Oh, right, of course.
I'm sorry about this.
I shouldn't have dragged you
into it.
No, no, it's okay.
[ANNA]
Your turn, Nukumizu.
Tell me you're sorry
and make it good, too.
Uh
Well?

Right sorry.
I overstepped my bounds.
Thanks I forgive you.

Um?
So, how are we supposed to
end a conversation like this?

[NUKUMIZU]
I'm guessing awkwardly.

[AMANATSU] I believe I've given
everyone their report cards.
You did it, kiddos.
Summer vacation is here!

-[KOMARI] Oh, you're here.
-Uh?
Did that guy take your money
yesterday or what?
Of course he didn't.
So, what happened?
Did he take
''something else'' from you?
[NUKUMIZU]
Don't get worked up.
Hey, Yana, maybe
we shouldn't interrupt them,
I think they're having
a moment here.
Oh come on,
I highly doubt that.
It is Nukumizu.
Wait. Were you two
having a moment?
[NUKUMIZU]
Don't be an idiot.
Is the literature club
doing anything during vacation?
[NUKUMIZU]
Um, Tsukinoki did say
she wanted to
do something together.
Sounds fun! If you want
to hunt beetles, I'm down!
The training camp was awesome,
wasn't it?
Yeah, I guess so.
[ANNA]
Hmm? What is it?
Oh, uh, nothing.
I'll tell you later.
[Komari]
I, um.
I've been thinking about maybe
starting running
or something like that.
So, um, think you can you
teach me about form and stuff--
I'd love to!
We'll get your hundred meter
below twelve seconds in no time!
-Nukumizu!
-Huh?
You owe me big for this one!
[LEMON] One, two, one, two.
I call it the Yakishio method!

Kinda weird, isn't it?
-Huh?-
-I mean,
I didn't even know
you and Komari
and look at where we are now.
Lit Club, too.
I had no clue what it was about
till we went on that trip.
But, you know,
when I tried writing,
I thought it was really fun.
And I've actually enjoyed
the books Komari recommended.
[smiles]
Turns out I like to read.
Uh.

-What's with you?
-Yanami, we need to talk.
[suspicious]
Huh, we do?
Yeah.
About something important.
[gasps]
Uh
Mm. 'Kay, so,
maybe you should wait a bit.
Just think things through
more carefully, I mean,
'cause there's a time and place
for everything, you know.
I have thought it through.
And if I don't say it now,
I know I'll regret it.

Ugh, okay. Fine talk.
I'll hear you out.

Yanami, will you
[wind howling]
Um, yes?

Will you be my friend?
[ANNA] Sorry
I think of you as a friend!
-Your friend?
-Mm-hmm.
Uh
[laughs]
[laughs]
I had it all wrong!
Wait hold on a second.
I didn't even ask you out
and you turned me down?
[chuckles]
Yeah guess I did.
[chuckles]
Sorry about that.
Welcome to
the Land of the Dumped.
That's not fair.
I wasn't dumped!
If I was gonna ask you out,
we'd have to be friends for
two or three years first.
Then, if we were both ready,
we could try.
[ANNA]
You just described a proposal.
Should I go ahead
and reject that
ahead of time while I'm at it?
I can pencil it
into my calendar.
No, that's not what I--
We've been friends
this entire time, haven't we?
Huh, we have?
Sure.
What else would you call us?
I just feel like you get me,
Nukumizu.
I promise you I don't, Yanami.
-Uh!
-Uh!
[both laugh]
I needed that. Thanks.
You're very welcome, sir.
I'm glad I know you
fellow dumpee.
Uh

Uh
[NUKUMIZU] For the record
I still haven't been dumped.
