981

01:
06:52,960 -- 01:06:55,679

Boys really have guts, don't they?

982

01:
06:56,760 -- 01:06:58,193

He'll be gone for two months.

983

01:
06:58,320 -- 01:07:00,629

He's returning

for our graduation ceremony,

984

01:
07:00,720 -- 01:07:03,678

then he's going back again

to study for about ten years.

985

01:
07:03,760 -- 01:07:05,830

You'll practically never see him again.

986

01:
07:05,920 -- 01:07:06,989

But you're so lucky.

987

01:
07:07,080 -- 01:07:10,072

The two of you sound like

the perfect match, like soulmates.

988

01:
07:10,200 -- 01:07:12,668

He's so much better than me.

We read the same books

989

01:
07:12,760 -- 01:07:14,830

but I never do anything

with what I learn.

990

01:
07:14,960 -- 01:07:16,916

He decided long ago

what he wanted to do.

991

01:
07:17,040 -- 01:07:19,508

- He's going straight for his dream.

- I guess so.

992

01:
07:20,760 -- 01:07:24,070

You know what? Kinuyo was in

the same first year class as Seiji.

993

01:
07:24,200 -- 01:07:27,158

She said he was a little hard

to approach but a good student

994

01:
07:27,280 -- 01:07:28,554

and really handsome too.

995

01:
07:28,680 -- 01:07:30,352

You don't need to rub it in.

996

01:
07:30,480 -- 01:07:32,596

I already feel like

I'm not good enough.

997

01:
07:32,720 -- 01:07:34,278

This whole thing is doomed.

998

01:
07:34,400 -- 01:07:36,789

No, it's not.

All that matters is he likes you.

999

01:
07:36,920 -- 01:07:39,036

- Didn't he say that?

- Yeah.

1000

01:
07:39,160 -- 01:07:41,230

But I'm not sure I believe it.

1001

01:
07:41,360 -- 01:07:44,238

[Sighing] I don't get you.

1002

01:
07:44,360 -- 01:07:46,476

It's so cool.

You could be writing letters

1003

01:
07:46,600 -- 01:07:49,353

and encouraging

each other every single day.

1004

01:
07:49,480 -- 01:07:51,357

How could I ever encourage him?

1005

01:
07:51,440 -- 01:07:53,715

He's worked so much harder

than I ever have.

1006

01:
07:53,840 -- 01:07:55,319

You are weird.

1007

01:
07:56,200 -- 01:07:57,918

Just because you haven't decided

1008

01:
07:58,000 -- 01:08:01,390

what you're going to do after you

graduate from junior high school

1009

01:
08:01,480 -- 01:08:04,040

doesn't mean that you're not

good enough for him.

1010

01:
08:04,160 -- 01:08:05,229

[Sighing]

1011

01:
08:05,320 -- 01:08:07,629

Everyone in school

thinks you're talented.

1012

01:
08:07,760 -- 01:08:11,275

You've read more books than anyone

I know and your lyrics are great.

1013

01:
08:11,360 -- 01:08:14,477

And you can tell people just

what you feel. I can't do that.

1014

01:
08:14,560 -- 01:08:16,391

[Sighing]

1015

01:
08:16,480 -- 01:08:18,596

I'm not close to being good enough.

1016

01:
08:18,720 -- 01:08:20,119

- Yes, you are.

- Mm-mmm.

1017

01:
08:20,200 -- 01:08:21,474

That's what Seiji said.

1018

01:
08:21,600 -- 01:08:23,750

He isn't sure he has any talent either.

1019

01:
08:23,880 -- 01:08:25,916

I should test myself like he is.

1020

01:
08:27,560 -- 01:08:30,518

That's what I'll do.

I'll try being a writer.

1021

01:
08:30,600 -- 01:08:31,919

I've already got a story.

1022

01:
08:32,040 -- 01:08:34,110

I've got two months

to see what I can do.

1023

01:
08:34,840 -- 01:08:36,512

But midterms are coming up.

1024

01:
08:36,640 -- 01:08:38,790

That's OK. Thanks, Yuko.

1025

01:
08:38,920 -- 01:08:40,990

I feel like maybe

I can handle this now.

1026

01:
08:41,120 -- 01:08:43,634

- You're going?

- Yeah. I've gotta get writing.

1027

01:
08:45,160 -- 01:08:47,151

- [Barking]

- Bye, Mr. And Mrs. Harada.

1028

01:
08:47,280 -- 01:08:49,350

- Bye, Sumo.

- Say hello to your mom for me.

1029

01:
08:49,480 -- 01:08:50,754

[Shizuku] I will.

1030

01:
08:53,160 -- 01:08:56,118

- You hang in there too, Yuko.

- Mm-hmm.

1031

01:
08:56,240 -- 01:08:59,232

I'm sure Sugimura will see

what a good person you are.

1032

01:
09:00,480 -- 01:09:01,674

See you later.

1033

01:
09:03,640 -- 01:09:05,392

So that's it. It's simple.

1034

01:
09:05,520 -- 01:09:07,431

All I have to do

is give my writing a try.

1035

01:
09:10,360 -- 01:09:12,590

[Gasping] Moon.

1036

01:
09:15,560 -- 01:09:18,120

[Girl] Muta! Muta!

1037

01:
09:18,240 -- 01:09:21,471

Hey, Mom, Muta ran off again.

1038

01:
09:21,560 -- 01:09:23,630

Where does he keep going?

1039

01:
09:23,760 -- 01:09:25,432

Muta. Huh.

1040

01:
09:28,600 -- 01:09:32,991

iWhisper of the Heart/i

by Shizuku Tsukishima.

1041

01:
09:33,120 -- 01:09:35,076

"Listen to the voice of the forest

1042

01:
09:35,200 -- 01:09:38,988

and the wind that blows

from a far-off cluster of stars."

1043

01:
09:56,480 -- 01:09:59,677

[Nishi] So, you want to write

a story about the Baron?

1044

01:
09:59,800 -- 01:10:01,791

Something about him inspires me,

1045

01:
10:01,880 -- 01:10:04,314

but I know the Baron

has special meaning for you,

1046

01:
10:04,400 -- 01:10:07,995

so I thought I'd better ask your

permission before I use him in my book.

1047

01:
10:08,080 -- 01:10:10,275

[Laughing] You can use the Baron.

1048

01:
10:10,360 -- 01:10:12,316

Thank you for asking,

1049

01:
10:12,440 -- 01:10:14,396

but I'd like to ask

for a favor in return.

1050

01:
10:15,640 -- 01:10:17,039

Yes?

1051

01:
10:17,120 -- 01:10:21,796

Once you have finished your story

I want to be the first to read it, hmm?

1052

01:
10:21,920 -- 01:10:24,195

Oh, uh... I...

1053

01:
10:24,280 -- 01:10:25,633

[Nishi] Is it a deal?

1054

01:
10:25,760 -- 01:10:27,398

Do I really have to show it to you?

1055

01:
10:27,520 -- 01:10:30,671

I've never written anything before.

I'm afraid it's gonna stink.

1056

01:
10:30,800 -- 01:10:33,155

[Laughing]

1057

01:
10:33,240 -- 01:10:36,073

You sound just like all

the other artists that I've met.

1058

01:
10:36,200 -- 01:10:39,556

No one should expect perfection

when they're first starting out.

1059

01:
10:39,680 -- 01:10:42,274

Wait a minute.

I've got something to show you.

1060

01:
10:48,000 -- 01:10:50,230

I think you'll like this.

1061

01:
10:53,600 -- 01:10:54,953

Take a look.

1062

01:
10:59,400 -- 01:11:02,198

[Shizuku] It looks like a rock.

1063

01:
11:02,320 -- 01:11:05,676

It's a special kind of rock

called a geode.

1064

01:
11:05,760 -- 01:11:07,955

Hold it close to your eye

and look inside.

1065

01:
11:08,040 -- 01:11:09,712

That's right, like that.

1066

01:
11:17,600 -- 01:11:19,352

Wow.

1067

01:
11:20,600 -- 01:11:21,828

Look at that.

1068

01:
11:21,920 -- 01:11:23,956

Those crystals are called beryl.

1069

01:
11:24,080 -- 01:11:27,117

There are pieces

of raw emeralds deep inside them.

1070

01:
11:27,200 -- 01:11:29,998

- Aren't emeralds worth a lot of money?

- Sure.

1071

01:
11:30,080 -- 01:11:33,470

But they need

to be cut and polished first.

1072

01:
11:33,600 -- 01:11:36,717

When you first become an artist

you are like that rock.

1073

01:
11:36,840 -- 01:11:40,037

You're in a raw natural state

with hidden gems inside.
