01x01 - Yuki's World

[bunniefuu]

Do people fall in love silently

like this falling snow?

Fluttering from the cloudy sky,

coloring all it touches.

Our breath is white under the blue stars

In the scenery reflected in your eyes

Even if the color is different

In the world you're in

And the world I'm in

There are no such things

As borders anywhere

Our hands shiver in the swirling

Falling snow

But if they touch, our fingertips warm

It's embarrassing but I want this feeling

Of our beating hearts

To remain like this forever

I've been searching for

How to express my love

That confession that

Only the two of us understand

Find me in the world you see

I chant it silently in my heart

I know, right?

I totally get you!

NEXT STOP: HASHIMOTO

We will soon be arriving

at Hashimoto Station.

The doors on the right will open.

This is my world.

I'm so happy

I got such a cute dress on sale!

Rin-chan posted on her Instagram.

LIKED BY

Cute things, friends, college,

and social media

That's more or less my life.

It's pretty nice.

A foreigner!

Why is he

POPULAR HISTORIC CAFE

He's asking about that place?

Thank goodness.

He's talking to him for me.

He looks familiar.

Oh, yeah! He's in Rin-chan's club!

They're really hitting it off.

Did he get what he wanted?

I should thank him for helping me.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Right, he probably doesn't understand me.

Sorry

Can you read lips?

Or not?

He's so close!

Is that so?

That guy. Was fluent. In Japanese.

STARE

Oh, really?

He's looking at me

like I'm some rare creature.

I've never met someone like you before.

I knew it!

We go to the same university. I'm friends

with Rin from the international club.

I'm. Getting off. At the. Next stop.

And. You? Are you. Getting off?

He's moving his lips slower

so I can read them.

I'm getting off at the stop after this

See you.

"See. You."

It was our first meeting,

but he never hesitated to say

"See you."

My world has been

a place without the sounds

other people hear.

Only when I got off the train did I notice

that all this throbbing

was actually my heart racing.

Have fun and take care.

What should I pick today?

What's she getting all worked up for?

I was like, so surprised!

Morning, Yuki!

SECOND BASEMENT CLASSROOM

I swear, these lectures

just get denser and denser.

You all right, Yuki?

Rin-chan, I'd like to ask you something

Ask me?

This guy?

I get it.

So Itsuomi-san helped you out?

He was probably on his way back

from Canada

That guy loves backpacking overseas

So that's why

he was carrying such a large bag.

So his name is Itsuomi.

You have a cute look on your face.

Is it love?

Love?

I just met him, Rin-chan!

Admiration, then?

Admiration?

Admiration? You think so?

Yep, probably.

I see

So this is admiration.

I have someone I admire, too.

He's the manager

at Itsuomi-san's part-time job.

He's also his cousin.

It's a cafe bar, by the way.

Wanna eat there sometime?

I'm not so sure if I should

But I do want to see him again.

Wait, let's slow down a sec!

I get really nervous

when talking to his cousin!

I can't even ask for his number.

I never knew Rin-chan

had a side like this.

You're cute, Rin-chan!

Have more confidence in yourself!

Maybe if you were with me, Yuki

I think I can pull it off.

Yuki!

You gripped my hand too hard!

But thanks, I'll do my best!

Me too

I'd like to ask Itsuomi-san

for his number

Yuki

All right, leave it to me!

The ultimate final quest

for Yuki's first year of college!

Let's get those phone numbers!

QUES

Where are you off to at this hour?

I'm hanging out with Rin-chan.

I'll be back before my curfew.

It's already dark. Be careful out there.

Here we are.

I-I don't look weird in these, right?

Looking good, too, Yuki!

Don't go falling for the manager now.

I can't compete with your cuteness!

I know! And you're the cute one,

Rin-chan!

Do people fall in love silently

like this falling snow?

Fluttering from the cloudy sky,

coloring all it touches

Things are looking pretty bad, Bill!

The heck are you talking about?

We've always pulled through together!

We'll get through this one, too!

We've finally reached their camp!

He feels like a different person here.

He looks so cool.

Thanks, Itsuomi-san. For helping Yuki

on the train the other day.

-Sure.

-That you, Rin-chan?

Welcome. It's nice to see you again.

Yes!

Thanks for stopping by. Friend of yours?

Good evening. Relax and take your time.

Kyoya-san!

I can always tell

when people are talking about me.

Want. A. Drink?

Or not?

That came out of nowhere!

He sure is pushy!

Right, my order.

It's true that he's pushy,

but in a good way, like last time.

I'm still 19,

so I'll just have Oolong

Itsuomi-san! Beer for me, please!

You know, Itsuomi-san is trilingual.

Twiingaru

I'll write it down.

He's trilingual,

so he's fluent in three languages.

Right?

What languages do you speak?

English and German

That's amazing!

I know a little Chinese too

I'm also studying Spanish

Welcome!

Itsu, can you take their order?

Sure.

Wait, what? Did she just kiss him?

They don't look Japanese.

Maybe it was a greeting?

Itsuomi-san looks pretty used to this.

He really is used to foreigners.

I'm sure

He's been to places

and seen a lot of worlds.

Worlds I've never known before

Rin-chan? Already?

Let's text each other sometime.

Sure.

Me too.

I should get Itsuomi-san's number.

I wonder how Rin-chan asked for it.

Writing it down feels

Kind of heavy.

I wonder what language

they're speaking in.

English? German? Japanese?

In the end,

I couldn't do it.

I can ask Itsuomi-san for you,

if you want.

Want me to tell you his LINE ID?

Rin.

I'm done with work now.

Want me to walk you guys home? Or not?

Of course!

But I live nearby,

so I'll leave Yuki to you!

This is too sudden, Rin-chan!

G-o-o-d l-u-c-k.

STARE

He's waiting for me!

He's walking right next to me.

A motorbike?

That scared me.

That was close.

He casually held my hand

without hesitating.

Grabbing it with his big hand.

Amid the snow and the chilling winds,

my once-numb fingertips are now

burning hot with his warmth.

Filled with sensation,

my hand tingles.

I can't tell him, but

I don't want to let him go.

The snow is piling on our hands.

I wish my thoughts would melt

into him like this snow.

If it's okay, can I have your number?

How do I say "sure"

in sign language?

NEW FRIEND:

ITSUOMI

Where's your place?

The station is just over there,

so I'll be fine

Thanks for today.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah?

Is the world wide?

It's gigantic

The world Itsuomi-san sees

I wonder how wide it is.

Let me into your world, Yuki

These feelings came gushing

into my world out of nowhere.

And I don't want to know how to stop them.

I had a lot of fun today. Thanks

Can I see you at your bar again?

Thanks!

Sure, anytime you like!

Hey, Oushi.

Your eyes have been darting

all over the place.

You looking for someone?

I said it's nothing.

All done. Thanks.

Itsu-kun, you free after this?

Let's grab a bite.

I've got classes in the afternoon,

but I'm free until then.

Okay. Give me a sec.

From your fingertips to mine,

and my fingertips to you.

Here, in the world we see

Every time

Your tenderness touches me

My heart thumps like crazy!

The warmth lingering from your hand

Fills me in every way

I've always been waiting

Shaking more than the fluttering snow

I've never felt this way before

I meet another "you"

A side I've never known before

If I end up liking you even more

I feel like I'm gonna burst!

I meet another "me"

A side I've never known before

When I end up liking you even more

I want you to hear it

Gently through my fingertips
