01

Notebook:
I want to get back the thing I broke. Let's do our best together!

Mashiba:
Is this yours, Nishimiya-san?
You're welcome.
I'll go over to Kawai-san.


02

Kawai:
What do you think you're doing, locking yourself up in here all alone?!

Ueno:
That's not what I'm doing!
I'm locking him in!
Protecting him from people who don't have the right to be in here!

Kawai:
The RIGHT...?!

Ueno:
I'm not just talking about you, I'm talking about that Nishimiya bitch on her high horse!

Kawai:
You're disgraceful!
Just because Ishida-kun won't turn around to look at YOU instead!

Ueno:
WHAT?! No!!

Kawai:
And YOU'RE the one who doesn't have the right to be doing something so selfish!

Ueno:
I do!
I've got more of a right than anyone!


03

MOTYAY:
Is everything alright, girls?

Ueno:
Ah...
Hello...

Kawai:
Excuse me, but this girl is puppyguarding your son!
So Nishimiya-san can't see him!

MOTYAY:
I heard about it from Nagatsuka-kun.


04

MOTYAY:
Do whatever you want.
It's your problem.

Kawai:
What...?

MOTYAY:
Play this for him.
It's the group he liked when he was young.

Kawai:
Ma'am?!

MOTYAY:
It's just going to be for summer break, right?
I can tell Nishimiya-san through her mom.
Well then,
It's up to you girls.

Kawai:
Please wait!
Why are you doing this, ma'am?!


05

MOTYAY:
AH!
I'm sorry!

Ah, I have this, too!

Kawai:
Nishimiya-san!

MOTYAY:
Huh?

Sahara:
Shou-chan!

MOTYAY:
Hm?


06

MOTYAY:
You're...
Shouko-san...?


07

MOTYAY:
See you
later.

Kawai:
Ma'am...!

MOTYAY:
I don't know what to say to her.

I could praise her, or get angry at her.
I could speak to her with a smile.
But I feel like none of those are how I really feel...

That's why
Once Shouya wakes up
At that time...we'll have a long talk.


08

MOTYAY:
Tell Nishimiya-san that for me...

Sahara:
Shou-chan...

Mashiba:
About what Ueno said earlier...


09

Mashiba:
Out of all of us,
I think I'm probably the one with the least right to go and see him...
Back at the bridge, Ishida-kun told me to punch me if I wanted to punch him...
And I really did it...

Nishimiya-san.
I think we should make the movie.
Okay, I'm going home.
Wait, let's go together!

Kawai:
I think the movie idea is great!


10

Mashiba:
Nishimiya's really a person who thinks about weird things.

Kawai-san...
Way back when...
I was teased because my eyebrows were really thick...

Kawai:
Your EYEBROWS?

Mashiba:
Yeah...
Then, the bullying became this huge problem in the class,
And our teacher yelled at everyone.
Even though our teacher was laughing right along with them.
Some kids that said they didn't do anything and kept trying to blame each other.
In the end, everyone's friendships ended because of me.


11

Mashiba:
Do you think I should feel like I owe them something?

Kawai:
Of course not!
They're terrible for bullying you like that!

Mashiba:
Even the people who said it wasn't their fault?

Kawai:
Yeah, because they're totally lying!

Mashiba:
Really.
All that was a lie, though.

Kawai:
Huh?

Mashiba:
That was just a hypothetical story.
Everyone's allowed to do what they want, that's what they thought...
That's what I thought, too...


12

Bully A:
Hey, Eyebrows!

Bully B:

Bullies:
Hey Caterpilar!
He's so weird!

MashibaDAD:
What're you doing, Satoshi?

Bully A:
Dude, nobody gives a crap about your eyebrows!

Bully B:
You worm!

Bullies:
He's so weird!

MashibaDAD:
What's wrong, Satoshi?

Bully A:
Huh?! Isn't that Mashiba?!

Bully B:
Long time no see!
Your eyebrows are huge as usual, I see!
Oh, my belly?
I'm pregnant!
It's a boy!


13

BullyKID:
See you later, Papa!

Mashiba:
"I'm your teacher, Mr. Mashiba!"
Don't worry, you two....


14

Mashiba:
"I'll watch after him and make sure you raise him well."
"I'm fine just watching him."
"I really am."
"I'll watch him."
"I'll watch him and see just how he grows up."

"I'll watch his every move.
"I'll watch him as I remember his paretns' faces."
"I'll watch him and see what a great kid he his."
"I'll watch him and see what mistakes he'll make."

gasp
gasp
(heh heh)
...haha
I'm looking forward to it...!


15

MashibaDAD:
Satoshi...
Do you really want to be a teacher?

Mashiba:
Huh...?

"Of course I do!"
"This is the only socially acceptable way to use these terrible feelings."
"Am I..."
"weird?"

"No, there are tons of people who are weirder than I am."

"I've always tried/aimed to be normal."
"I am normal."

Hey, hey, Ishida-kun,
I mean, compared to you, right, Ishida-kun?


16

Mashiba:
"When I was with Ishida-kun,"
"I thought I could feel normal."
"That's why I got close to him."
"But"
"I wasn't able to feel that way."
"I felt the complete opposite."
"Ishida-kun fell trying to save a girl!!"

"I don't understand why,"
(What, no way!)
(It's just another one of Nagatsuka-kun's lies!)
"But I had a vague thought"
"that I was a fool."
"He really is weird...that Ishida-kun."


17

Janitor(?):
Oh, what do you need?
Are you the one from earlier?

Mashiba:
Huh?
Um...I wanted to see Mr. Takeuchi...is he here?
I wanted to talk to him about making a movie...

Janitor(?):
I thought so! You're friends with that girl! Come this way!

Mashiba:
What girl?

Janitor(?):
See, her!
She's been trying to convince him.
She wants to use the school for the movie!


18

Mashiba:
Teacher,
I'm sorry for how rude I was earlier.
Please humbly consider my request as well.

AssholeTeacher:
Just what I'd expect of Ishida's friends.
They're all idiots.
