01x06 - Creep

Post by bunniefuu »

Kasa: I think getting involved with Sato-kun might be dangerous.

Ritsu: Like a scratched CD...

Kasa: Last year... was dating another boy... suddenly k*lled himself...

Ritsu: The sound around me became distorted.

Ritsu: Mafuyu was...

Ritsu: Wha—

Ita: Uecchi! Check this out!

Ita: Look at this portrait Ueki drew!

Ueki: Hey, quit it!

Ita: Hell no, I ain't stopping!

Ita: Hey, check this out!

Ueki: Hey, Itaya!

Ita: Look, look, look!

Kasa: I'm sorry...

Ritsu: Huh?

Ritsu: About what?

Kasa: The last thing I said... It was unnecessary.

Ita: Hey, take a look at this!

Kasa: The thing about him dating another guy was just a rumor.

Kasa: I was just trying to make conversation.

Ritsu: Uh... Right...

Kasa: But...

Kasa: It's true that Sato-kun's childhood friend died.

Kasa: Someone who went to middle school with Sato-kun told me

Kasa: that someone named Yuki Yoshida died very suddenly.

Hiiragi: Is that... Yuki's guitar?

Ritsu: What does that mean?

Ritsu: What in the hell...

Ritsu: is this weird feeling twisting up my stomach?

Op: Everything that you left behind

Op: Became my everything

Op: The wound pierced into my heart

Op: Still remains as the days continue to go by

Op: If I were to forcibly take it out, the pain would never end

Op: So I'll just leave it there

Op: Rainy, sunny, and cloudy days

Op: Spring, summer, fall, and winter

Op: days a year

Op: You're there in all of them

Op: Reach in deep

Op: And while you're at it, take away my memories, too

Op: The voices that can't be heard

Op: Are strangling me again

Op: Dig deep

Op: And look at the pain within me

Op: Everything that you left behind

Op: Became my everything

Op: Everything that you left behind

Op: Became my life

Tsubaki: Mafuyu-kun!

Mafu: Yes?

Tsubaki: Your friend's here to see you.

Hiiragi: Hey!

Tsubaki: If you've got a lot to talk about, you guys can take off.

Hiiragi: Really?

Tsubaki: I'll let the manager know.

Hiiragi: Thanks!

Hiiragi: Don't get all defensive.

Hiiragi: I'm not here to criticize you or anything.

Hiiragi: We haven't actually talked since the funeral.

Hiiragi: So you started playing music?

Mafu: Yeah.

Hiiragi: That's Yuki's guitar, right?

Mafu: His mom asked me to take it.

Hiiragi: Ah.

Hiiragi: I guess you guys basically had both your parents' approval.

Hiiragi: And you haven't seen Saeko-san since, right?

Hiiragi: I told her that I thought you'd gotten into music,

Hiiragi: and she seemed super happy.

Hiiragi: As for me...

Hiiragi: I'm not sure if you started playing music

Hiiragi: because you're trying to be positive

Hiiragi: or if you just can't let go...

Mafu: You are here to criticize me, then.

Hiiragi: So, which is it?

Mafu: I'm not really sure, either.

Shizu: Hiiragi.

Shizu: Sorry I'm late.

Hiiragi: Took you long enough, Shizusumi.

Hiiragi: I met up with Mafuyu.

Hiiragi: He's in a band now.

Hiiragi: It's friggin' hilarious.

Hiiragi: What the hell, Shizu-chan?

Shizu: That's not something you should worry about.

Hiiragi: Of course I'll worry. How can I help it?

Hiiragi: We've all been friends since we were little.

Ritsu: I know it's not really fair of me,

Ritsu: but I haven't breathed a word of what I heard that day to anyone.

Yayoi: I'm home.

Aki: Hey.

Ritsu: Welcome home...

Yayoi: Looks like Ritsuka's back to staring off into space again.

Aki: I seem to see him looking like this a lot lately.

Yayoi: Apparently, Akihiko wants to talk to you{\ i}.

Aki: Hey, I brought you something good.

Ritsu: Something good?

Aki: Can I borrow an outlet?

Ritsu: Huh? Uh... Sure.

Aki: So, that song you wrote...

Aki: It's awesome.

Aki: It might be a little unexpected, but I think it'd go pretty well with Mafuyu's voice.

Aki: So I added in some drums real quick and made a file of it.

Aki: Haruki said he'd listen to it and add the bass line by ear, as usual.

Aki: Oh, keep trying. Just a little more and you'll be back in this world.

Aki: Mafuyu's got sort of a clean, pretty voice.

Ritsu: Yeah... I guess.

Aki: So I think the rest of us going ba*ls to the wall works out pretty well.

Ritsu: Thank you...

Aki: Not to mention,

Aki: his voice may be on the pretty side,

Aki: but actually listening to it

Aki: makes me feel some strong emotions...

Aki: Maybe not strong emotions per se, but I get shivers.

Aki: It's like his voice is screaming without actually screaming.

Ritsu: I totally get that.

Aki: Right? So it's sort of a waste for him to be so quiet all the time.

Aki: That's why I've been banging away at the drums, but—

Ritsu: What is that feeling, anyway?

Aki: Hm?

Ritsu: Part of me wants to run away when I hear it...

Ritsu: Though part of me also really likes it.

Ritsu: I start to feel queasy... and I want to break something.

Ritsu: It's not a particularly pleasant feeling...

Ritsu: Huh? Wha—

Ritsu: Did I weird you out?!

Aki: Man, I need a smoke.

Ritsu: Huh?!

Aki: You got the melody down, right?

Ritsu: Uh, yus?

Aki: Yus?

Aki: Have Mafuyu write the lyrics for it.

Aki: I'm sure it'll be pretty hard for him,

Aki: but I really think he should be the one to do it.

Ritsu: I was... thinking the exact same thing!

Mafu: I don't think I can do it.

Ritsu: Don't give up just like that!

Haruki: I also think this might be a bit much for—Urgh...

Ritsu: You can do this! No, you're doing this!

Ritsu: Let all your lingering feelings out!

Ritsu: Use actual words to express them!

Mafu: I'm not very good at that, though...

Ritsu: Don't make me k*ll you.

Ritsu: I want to play along with your lyrics!

Ritsu: I believe in you, son.

Haruki: Are you his boss now?!

Mafu: What should I write?

Haruki: Anything is fine. Music is all about going with the flow.

Aki: That's the shittiest advice ever.

Ritsu: I mean... You have something you want to say, right?!

Mafu: No... Not really.

Ritsu: Don't you feel, like... your cosmo or something?!

Mafu: Cosmo?

Haruki: Oh, I know. Why not write lyrics about past relationships?

Haruki: That's pretty classic.

Aki: Shut your mouth, son.

Haruki: Are you my boss now?!

Haruki: Wait, that was actually good advice this time!

Aki: You shut your mouth right now.

Haruki: Huh? W-Wait, what are you doing?!

Aki: Shut your mouth...

Ritsu: Haruki-san...

Ritsu: To me, that's the worst possible thing you could bring up right now.

Ritsu: In the end, putting a lid on it didn't make what was inside me disappear.

Ritsu: The uneasiness I felt in my gut was now giving off a nasty stench.

Haruki: Seriously, what is with today?

Haruki: It's been a while since Akihiko was that rough with me.

Sign: Tea

Mafu: I think Kaji-san was worried about me.

Haru: Huh? Why, though?

Haru: Is relationship talk off-limits for you?

Haru: I guess love songs might be hard, then.

Mafu: Do you have anyone you like, Haruki-san?

Haru: Huh?!

Haru: I uh... um...

Mafu: If...

Mafu: that person suddenly disappeared from this world,

Mafu: what would you say?

Haru: Huh?

Mafu: Would you be lonely? Sad?

Mafu: Would you miss them?

Haru: Um... That's a bit, uh...

Haru: I honestly don't know what to say...

Mafu: Neither do I.

Mafu: Well, thanks for everything today.

Haru: Huh?

Mafu: I wonder what kind of lyrics I should write...

Guy: Go!

Guy: Pass! Pass!

Ita: Mafuyucchi, you playin' basketball?

Mafu: Huh?

Ue: What are you gonna play for the sports tournament?

Mafu: Oh, basketball.

Ita: I know, right? Me, too.

Ita: Wait, you're my enemy, then!

Ue: Pipe down, Itaya.

Mafu: Are you playing basketball, too, Uenoyama-kun?

Ritsu: Huh? Uh—

Ita: Yup. They're current and former basketball team members.

Mafu: There are so many of you.

Ita: I'm on the soccer team, though.

Guy: Let's switch out.

Ita: Aw, Mafuyucchi's our enemy now...

Ue: Nothing we can do. It's class versus class.

Ita: But we're comrades in arms!

Ita: Mafuyucchi?

Ue: He seems out of it.

Ritsu: Yeah... Apparently, that's his thinking face.

Ritsu: I told him to think up some lyrics.

Ita: Oh? What's this about lyrics?

Ita: Are you writing a song?

Haru: Sure. You could've just sent me the file.

Aki: I was in the neighborhood, and I wanted some coffee.

Haru: Well, here you go.

Aki: Thanks.

Aki: Now we just need Mafuyu's lyrics.

Haru: Say... Do you think something happened to Mafuyu in the past?

Aki: Why do you ask?

Haru: I was chatting with Mafuyu the other day after practice...

Haru: I think he has something he wants to say.

Aki: I really admire that about you.

Haru: Huh?

Aki: And you know how to make coffee using a siphon.

Ed: But I check our answers as I try to find out
