Insomniacs After School (2023) s01e10 Episode Script
Spica of Virgo
1
[cicadas chirping]
[Kurashiki] I am the advisor
for the Astronomy Club.
My name is Kurashiki,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
[Isaki's mother] We appreciate
all that you've done for Isaki.
Morning! My name
is Ganta Nakami!
It's fine. I already talked it
over with my parents,
so don't worry.
Sitting on the floor like
this kind of hurts, huh?
Gimme a sec.
I'll grab some cushions.
[door opens, closes]
Huh?
[Ganta gulps]
[gasps]
I'm in the same
class as, uh, Isaki!
My name is Ganta Nakami.
I'm Ocean-Viewsy McFloatFest.
What?
[door opens]
[relaxed music]
Why are you here?
Pretty bold move, Isaki.
Not only do you bring
a guy to the house,
but you also serve him tea?
[Isaki] Let me introduce you.
Haya, my older sister.
Isaki is a clone that was
cultivated from my cells,
by the way.
You can ignore her.
All she does is lie.
So this is the sister she
mentioned on the radio
that one time.
I almost forgot.
I'm gonna tag along
on your training camp.
This should be fun.
Is that another lie?
Not exactly. She's coming
as our chaperone.
I couldn't say no when
Mom and Dad asked me.
Ah! You know that's my shirt!
-Stop taking my stuff.
-I'm borrowing it.
Don't wear my stuff
without asking!
Quit yanking on me.
[Haya groans]
Hey, you're also wearing my bra!
[Ganta gasps, gulps]
Oh, now I get why
the band feels so loose
and the cup is too small.
You don't need to describe it!
[Haya] I'm just
telling it like it is.
[Isaki groans]
Shut up already!
[ice rattling]
[opening theme]
[cicadas chirping]
[Kurashiki groans]
I'm literally melting.
Is your house close?
A bit farther.
[playful music]
Huh?
Make sure you mention that
I'm a well-behaved girl, okay?
Ugh, I quit.
Come on, Nurse Kurashiki!
We're not there yet!
Stop acting like a
child and get back up!
It's too late.
I want a cold beer.
[Isaki] Not happening!
[cicadas chirping]
Here is the proposed
agenda for the training camp.
Okay.
[Ganta's father] Oh, wow.
I didn't know that Ganta was
interested in stargazing.
Since it's just us guys
in this house and all,
I have to admit,
we haven't been
talking much with
each other lately.
So what is your dad like anyway?
Like you, I'm guessing?
Not really.
[Ganta's father]
Ganta's a good son.
He's always making my meals
since I work the night shift
and get home pretty late.
God, to be honest, he's
such a talented kid.
Nothing like his old man.
That said, there is
one time I can remember
where he caused me
some concern.
Oh?
Back in elementary school,
his teacher asked me
to come in for a talk.
I figured that
having only one parent
was finally taking its toll.
I was so worried on my
way there, but then
My apologies. What
seems to be the trouble?
[teacher] Well, sir,
Ganta here won't stop crushing
the heel of his shoes no matter
how many times he's warned.
[Ganta grunts]
[gentle music]
What's going on, champ?
Why won't you listen
to your teacher?
Wait, Ganta!
Huh?
That's when I realized
his shoes were too small.
He had long outgrown
those shoes,
but he just kept using them,
and that's why he
went through gym class,
crushing the heels
of his shoes.
If he had just told me, I
would've bought him a new pair.
I have no idea why
he kept it from me.
I'm sorry for going
so far off-topic.
I leave everything regarding the
training camp in your hands.
Has Ganta always been shy
asking for help?
It must be obvious that it
relates back to his mother.
One night, some years ago,
she just up and left us while
Ganta was asleep in his bed.
For example, you can
set the shutter to release
after 10 seconds
of exposure time,
then leave the camera
for an hour
and combine the resulting
300 pictures.
Wow!
[Yui] This is called
a composite.
Have you finished prepping
for the training camp?
I'm going to Kanazawa after this
to buy our camping gear
and then we'll be all set.
The light pollution in
Kanazawa is too strong
to take any starry night
pictures, but do some exploring,
since there are a lot
of good photo spots.
Are you familiar with Kanazawa?
No, I don't really
know that much about it.
[gentle music]
But back when I
won that contest,
the award ceremony was held at
the prefectural office
in Kanazawa.
The club advisor was
hands-off and never around.
And since there were no
other members but me,
I hated the idea
of going there alone
because it felt so embarrassing.
But in the end, nurse Kurashiki
agreed to come with me,
even though she had nothing
to do with it.
S-so, like
Your photographs
have really improved.
Huh?
It's incredible you've come
so far in so little time,
and that's why, um,
I think next time,
you shouldn't get caught up
in trying to capture
breathtaking scenery.
[Yui sighs]
The moment a truly
outstanding photograph is born
is when something touches
your heart.
Press the shutter
[shutter clicks]
when you feel that spark.
[gentle music]
[Ganta gasps softly]
Press it when I
feel that spark.
[Yui whimpers]
Okay, I'll give it a shot!
Thank you, Yui!
I'll make you proud!
Ah! I should go clean
in front of the store!
Shoot your shot, my protégé.
[bright music]
[WELCOME TO KANAZAWA]
[Ganta]
You know your way around here?
[Isaki] Yep.
I come to Kanazawa pretty often.
I like to go shopping
with friends,
and a bunch of other stuff too.
[Ganta] Well, this place
is full of new sights for me.
[Isaki laughs]
[Isaki] And now you
look like Santa Claus!
[Ganta] Hey, cut it out!
[cicadas chirping]
[bright music continues]
[shutter clicks]
There's so much beauty
to be seen here.
You know, this is actually
one of my favorite roads.
Oh, yeah?
When spring comes,
this whole stretch of land
just explodes
with blooming cherry blossoms!
And the breeze makes
all the petals
dance around like confetti.
I really want you
to see it someday!
[bright music]
[wind blowing]
[Isaki chuckles]
[Ganta gasps]
What's the matter?
[cicadas chirping]
[Ganta sighs]
[DAY 1]
[DAY 1, DAY 2,
DAY 3, DAY 4, DAY 5]
[fridge door closing]
[Isaki] Ganta!
Over here!
Thanks for driving us.
Sure thing.
[lively music]
[Isaki gasps]
[seagulls cawing]
[Haya] Jeez, Isaki, hurry it up!
[Isaki] Just hold on!
[Haya] I'm gonna pee my pants!
[Isaki groans]
Oh, so stuffy.
[lively music continues]
[MOUNTAINS ARE MOUNTAINS
AND RIVERS ARE RIVERS]
Oh?
[Ganta] There's an engawa.
Open these doors for
a view of the ocean.
[door sliding]
[music fades]
[waves lapping]
[Ganta gasps]
[Isaki] There's a
shrine across the way.
Plus a bus stop
right next to it.
And that's all there
is around here.
What a wonderful place.
It's so quiet.
[Haya] Isaki!
There's no toilet paper!
Help me!
[Isaki sighs]
[Ganta chuckles]
[footsteps]
[Isaki sighs]
Cleaning's done.
[Haya] I'm all sweaty now,
so I've got dibs on the bath.
Then can I be the next one
for a bath?
Fine with me. I'll make
lunch in the meantime.
Awesome! You're a lifesaver.
[knife chopping]
[door opens]
Is that chilled noodles?
Um, yeah.
That's perfect.
[dishes clinking]
[Isaki] I'm starving!
Well, the food's ready.
Let's eat toge-
ther.
[Ganta gasps]
[hands clap]
[all] Time to dig in!
So, Ganta, I guess you're
a master of the kitchen?
I wouldn't say that exactly.
Oh, hey.
Since we're going out
to Mitsukejima for
pictures tomorrow,
I wanna get in some
practice after lunch.
You should come too.
[Haya] Excuse me?
You do know there are two
people
sitting at this table.
[Ganta grunts]
I meant
just
Just her.
[Haya laughing]
Omigod! Quit it!
[gentle music]
[EPISODE 10: SPICA OF VIRGO]
[THE ELDER SISTER STAR]
[cicadas chirping]
Huh?
Found 'em.
Ah, now these take me back.
[young Haya] Mom!
I wanna go on a real trip.
[Isaki's mother]
We are on a real trip.
To visit your grandma.
But we always have to go there!
Grandma's house is so boring.
I wanna ride rollercoasters.
[mother] We've been over this.
You know that we
can't travel very far
because Isaki has
a special condition.
[Haya] Then just let
her stay home!
[mother] That wouldn't be
fair to her, would it?
Now act like a good big
sister and get over it.
[Haya groans]
[bell ringing]
[cicadas chirping]
Hey, Isaki?
Huh?
[Isaki breathing lightly]
[lively music]
[cicadas chirping]
[water trickling]
Hi, crab.
[shutter clicks]
[woman] Good day.
Good day.
[SHRINE BUS STOP]
[camera snaps]
Better be careful that
we don't miss the bus.
[lively music]
[cicadas chirping]
[heavy breathing]
[birds chirping]
[Ganta gasps]
[bag thudding]
[tripod rattling]
It's a full moon tonight,
so the stars won't show
up very well.
It's time to practice.
Isaki, are you awake?
I'm at the top of the
shrine staircase now.
I'm going to try taking a
picture once the sun goes down.
[READ]
[Isaki] Hey, Sis.
I'm going out for a
little bit, okay?
[Haya laughing]
You can't go out like that!
[laughs]
[footsteps]
Huh?
Isaki?
No, not quite.
It's the older sister.
[light chuckle]
Isaki had to clean up her face
before coming out.
Huh?
[Ganta sighs]
You looking at this?
Just Isaki getting me back.
[sighs] Do you have any
siblings, Ganta?
No, I don't.
You two seem to get
along pretty well.
Seriously? Is that
your impression of us?
I would've preferred being
an only child.
[slow music]
You might already know this,
but Isaki was in poor
health from a young age,
so our parents were
constantly watching over her.
[Ganta] Yeah.
Isaki told me that she used
to have heart problems.
[Haya gasps]
[sighs] Anyways, ever
since Isaki was born,
our family always operated
with her at the center.
"Don't you feel sorry
for your sister?"
"You're her older sister,
so just grin and bear it."
They totally neglected
coming to my school events.
So I'm using this opportunity
to bully her a little
while the adults aren't
watching us.
[slow music continues]
Tell me something,
are you honestly having
fun taking pics
in this podunk town
out in the boonies?
[Ganta] That's a fair question.
I would say coming out here
has been pretty exhilarating.
Like for example,
I've been having fun
searching for places around here
where I can capture the sky,
the ocean, and the town in one.
[Haya chuckles]
Oh? Well, that's
definitely not my thing.
One more question.
Is it true that Isaki
is trying to hook up with you?
[gasps] Hook up?!
I mean, she told me
I was special to her,
but that doesn't equate to love.
Besides, those were
words that she used
to cheer me up when I was
in a really bad headspace.
So it wouldn't be fair of
me to think it means more.
Man, a reply like that
would def turn me
if you weren't with my sister.
[wind blowing]
[leaves rustling]
But listen to me.
Don't get involved with her.
She already knows
better than anyone
just how different she
is from everyone else.
And there are plenty of
other girls out there
you don't have to feel
sorry for, right?
[Ganta sighs]
When it comes to Isaki,
I probably don't know half
of what she's been through,
but I've never felt sorry
for her.
Not even once.
[uplifting music]
Personally, I think she's cool.
Isaki is someone who
shines brightly in my eyes.
[Haya sighs heavily]
Boo!
[Haya] Dummy. I already
pulled that trick earlier.
What?!
Crap. I thought that would
freak you guys out for sure.
Hmph!
FYI, I was totally lying
earlier when I said Isaki
was trying to hook up with you.
I wanted to see how you felt.
Huh?
[shutter clicks]
Can I look?
Mm-hmm.
Is it even possible to
make this place look good?
Would you like to see?
Mm.
[gentle music]
[Haya gasps]
[music swells]
Right?
It's really incredible.
[Isaki] Ah!
What is it? What's wrong?
[Isaki] I had a nagging feeling
we forgot to buy something.
Watermelon! We forgot
to buy some watermelon!
[Ganta] You think so?
[Isaki] Absolutely!
[clothes rustling]
[Isaki groaning]
[zipper zipping]
[Isaki] Are you going somewhere?
Duh. My boyfriend said
he is willing to come
as far as Wakura to see me,
so I'm leaving now
to go meet him.
Huh?!
[Haya] Listen.
Not a word of this to Mom
or I'll kill you, got it?
[Isaki grunts]
You're so self-centered!
Oh, you wanna go?
Bring it, shrimp!
[Isaki] Like you're any taller!
[Haya] Microshrimp!
Arm rest!
[Ganta groaning]
Really? They're fighting?
Is this all of your luggage?
Yep. You're a huge help.
Thanks a lot.
All right!
It's time for me to
blow this popsicle stand.
I'll go get Isaki.
Nah, don't bother.
She's too grumpy
to come say goodbye.
[Ganta sighs]
[Ganta] Was I the problem?
You know, because of what I
said to you at the shrine.
And now
[gentle music]
Listen, that girl never opens up
to anybody about
her heart problems.
[Ganta gasps]
And it's always been like
that since she was little.
Because she went through
repeated surgeries
and lengthy hospital stays,
she stood out
as being extra short
and fragile-looking when
lined up with her classmates,
the school always gave
her special treatment.
Putting up with
all the positivity
and watching her get
pampered really annoyed me.
[spectator] Come on!
[Haya] Stupid shrimp.
[spectator] All right.
[referee] On your marks!
[spectator] Here we go.
[referee] Get set!
[starting gun pops]
[crowd cheering]
[mother] Go, Isaki!
Go! You can do it!
[spectator]
Yeah, that's it, that's it!
[Isaki panting]
You got it!
Just a little more!
[hands smacking]
[Isaki panting]
They all come in first place.
Yay, you did it!
[all applauding]
[Haya] This is so dumb.
[spectator] That's so sweet.
[gentle music]
[Isaki crying]
What's your problem?
What are you crying for?
This This sucks. [cries]
[Haya] Isaki was so ashamed
and upset afterwards
that it would make her cry.
She wasn't being pampered
by it at all.
That's when I realized
that at the very least,
that I could be the one person
who didn't treat her
like a pity case.
Hey, Ganta,
put your hand up.
Huh?
[hands smacking]
The ball's in your court.
Later. I'm going on a real trip.
Please, wait a minute!
[car door closes]
Wait! So, um, wait.
What responsibility is that?
What should I do from now on?
Well, that's an easy one, dude.
Go and ask her yourself.
Huh?
Why are you still here?
[engine revving]
[Haya] Bye, losers!
Okay, and she's gone.
Finally, peace and quiet.
Alrighty then. Guess we should
make some breakfast, right?
Yeah. Oh.
What's wrong?
We forgot the bus!
[Isaki yelling]
[Ganta] We won't make it to meet
Mitsukejima if we miss it!
[Isaki] That would waste
a whole day!
[Ganta] Hurry and get changed!
Grab your stuff!
[Isaki] Have you
seen my sandals?
[Ganta] Sandals?
[waves lapping]
[ending theme]
[cicadas chirping]
[Kurashiki] I am the advisor
for the Astronomy Club.
My name is Kurashiki,

You know that we
can't travel very far
because Isaki has
a special condition.
[Haya] Then just let
her stay home!
[mother] That wouldn't be
fair to her, would it?
Now act like a good big
sister and get over it.
[Haya groans]
[bell ringing]
[cicadas chirping]
Hey, Isaki?
Huh?
[Isaki breathing lightly]
[lively music]
[cicadas chirping]
[water trickling]
Hi, crab.
[shutter clicks]
[woman] Good day.
Good day.
[SHRINE BUS STOP]
[camera snaps]
Better be careful that
we don't miss the bus.
[lively music]
[cicadas chirping]
[heavy breathing]
[birds chirping]
[Ganta gasps]
[bag thudding]
[tripod rattling]
It's a full moon tonight,
so the stars won't show
up very well.
It's time to practice.
Isaki, are you awake?
I'm at the top of the
shrine staircase now.
I'm going to try taking a
picture once the sun goes down.
[READ]
[Isaki] Hey, Sis.
I'm going out for a
little bit, okay?
[Haya laughing]
You can't go out like that!
[laughs]
[footsteps]
Huh?
Isaki?
No, not quite.
It's the older sister.
[light chuckle]
Isaki had to clean up her face
before coming out.
Huh?
[Ganta sighs]
You looking at this?
Just Isaki getting me back.
[sighs] Do you have any
siblings, Ganta?
No, I don't.
You two seem to get
along pretty well.
Seriously? Is that
your impression of us?
I would've preferred being
an only child.
[slow music]
You might already know this,
but Isaki was in poor
health from a young age,
so our parents were
constantly watching over her.
[Ganta] Yeah.
Isaki told me that she used
to have heart problems.
[Haya gasps]
[sighs] Anyways, ever
since Isaki was born,
our family always operated
with her at the center.
"Don't you feel sorry
for your sister?"
"You're her older sister,
so just grin and bear it."
They totally neglected
coming to my school events.
So I'm using this opportunity
to bully her a little
while the adults aren't
watching us.
[slow music continues]
Tell me something,
are you honestly having
fun taking pics
in this podunk town
out in the boonies?
[Ganta] That's a fair question.
I would say coming out here
has been pretty exhilarating.
Like for example,
I've been having fun
searching for places around here
where I can capture the sky,
the ocean, and the town in one.
[Haya chuckles]
Oh? Well, that's
definitely not my thing.
One more question.
Is it true that Isaki
is trying to hook up with you?
[gasps] Hook up?!
I mean, she told me
I was special to her,
but that doesn't equate to love.
Besides, those were
words that she used
to cheer me up when I was
in a really bad headspace.
So it wouldn't be fair of
me to think it means more.
Man, a reply like that
would def turn me
if you weren't with my sister.
[wind blowing]
[leaves rustling]
But listen to me.
Don't get involved with her.
She already knows
better than anyone
just how different she
is from everyone else.
And there are plenty of
other girls out there
you don't have to feel
sorry for, right?
[Ganta sighs]
When it comes to Isaki,
I probably don't know half
of what she's been through,
but I've never felt sorry
for her.
Not even once.
[uplifting music]
Personally, I think she's cool.
Isaki is someone who
shines brightly in my eyes.
[Haya sighs heavily]
Boo!
[Haya] Dummy. I already
pulled that trick earlier.
What?!
Crap. I thought that would
freak you guys out for sure.
Hmph!
FYI, I was totally lying
earlier when I said Isaki
was trying to hook up with you.
I wanted to see how you felt.
Huh?
[shutter clicks]
Can I look?
Mm-hmm.
Is it even possible to
make this place look good?
Would you like to see?
Mm.
[gentle music]
[Haya gasps]
[music swells]
Right?
It's really incredible.
[Isaki] Ah!
What is it? What's wrong?
[Isaki] I had a nagging feeling
we forgot to buy something.
Watermelon! We forgot
to buy some watermelon!
[Ganta] You think so?
[Isaki] Absolutely!
[clothes rustling]
[Isaki groaning]
[zipper zipping]
[Isaki] Are you going somewhere?
Duh. My boyfriend said
he is willing to come
as far as Wakura to see me,
so I'm leaving now
to go meet him.
Huh?!
[Haya] Listen.
Not a word of this to Mom
or I'll kill you, got it?
[Isaki grunts]
You're so self-centered!
Oh, you wanna go?
Bring it, shrimp!
[Isaki] Like you're any taller!
[Haya] Microshrimp!
Arm rest!
[Ganta groaning]
Really? They're fighting?
Is this all of your luggage?
Yep. You're a huge help.
Thanks a lot.
All right!
It's time for me to
blow this popsicle stand.
I'll go get Isaki.
Nah, don't bother.
She's too grumpy
to come say goodbye.
[Ganta sighs]
[Ganta] Was I the problem?
You know, because of what I
said to you at the shrine.
And now
[gentle music]
Listen, that girl never opens up
to anybody about
her heart problems.
[Ganta gasps]
And it's always been like
that since she was little.
Because she went through
repeated surgeries
and lengthy hospital stays,
she stood out
as being extra short
and fragile-looking when
lined up with her classmates,
the school always gave
her special treatment.
Putting up with
all the positivity
and watching her get
pampered really annoyed me.
[spectator] Come on!
[Haya] Stupid shrimp.
[spectator] All right.
[referee] On your marks!
[spectator] Here we go.
[referee] Get set!
[starting gun pops]
[crowd cheering]
[mother] Go, Isaki!
Go! You can do it!
[spectator]
Yeah, that's it, that's it!
[Isaki panting]
You got it!
Just a little more!
[hands smacking]
[Isaki panting]
They all come in first place.
Yay, you did it!
[all applauding]
[Haya] This is so dumb.
[spectator] That's so sweet.
[gentle music]
[Isaki crying]
What's your problem?
What are you crying for?
This This sucks. [cries]
[Haya] Isaki was so ashamed
and upset afterwards
that it would make her cry.
She wasn't being pampered
by it at all.
That's when I realized
that at the very least,
that I could be the one person
who didn't treat her
like a pity case.
Hey, Ganta,
put your hand up.
Huh?
[hands smacking]
The ball's in your court.
Later. I'm going on a real trip.
Please, wait a minute!
[car door closes]
Wait! So, um, wait.
What responsibility is that?
What should I do from now on?
Well, that's an easy one, dude.
Go and ask her yourself.
Huh?
Why are you still here?
[engine revving]
[Haya] Bye, losers!
Okay, and she's gone.
Finally, peace and quiet.
Alrighty then. Guess we should
make some breakfast, right?
Yeah. Oh.
What's wrong?
We forgot the bus!
[Isaki yelling]
[Ganta] We won't make it to meet
Mitsukejima if we miss it!
[Isaki] That would waste
a whole day!
[Ganta] Hurry and get changed!
Grab your stuff!
[Isaki] Have you
seen my sandals?
[Ganta] Sandals?
[waves lapping]
