"Hello" "I see their activities vary" "Yes" " Each child has different backgrounds and symptoms" "So they rarely do the same things" "I see" "Like the one who has a high Iq, but can't communicate with others" "So you're building their social skills" "You've come prepared" "Yes" "That's not all" "Do you mind if I ask the children some questions?" "No, go ahead" "But they might not answer" "Can I ask you some questions?" "What are you doing?" "Let's take a break" "May I ask you a few questions?" "I'm here to support the school, not to criticize it" "The kids and I aren't a show" "Ms" " Puffy scolded you" "'Ms" " Puffy'?" "Ms" " Izumi" "She calls these 'puffy clouds-'" "She put these up?"

"You're honest" "Who has friends?" "Me!" "Raise your hands if you have friends" "What's your favorite TV program?" "Any others?" "'Gekiranger,' and 'Pokemon-'" "Tell me what you want most" "Or three if you want" "What, Kako?" "What do you like?" "Soap bubbles" "You like soap bubbles?" "What's wrong with your leg?" "Were you born that way?" "This isn't an interview" "Then you're hitting on me?" "I suppose" "I've been this way since childhood" "It must be inconvenient" "Every little thing in daily life is such a hassle" "Why do you want to know?" "I find you rather interesting" "Did I say anything interesting?" "Hey, what does 'puffy cloud' mean?" "Why do you photograph clouds?" "Why do you volunteer here?" "Why are you reporting on this school?" "Well, I want everybody to know about free schools" "Who's 'everybody'?" "I don't believe in 'everybody-'" "I only need the people close to me" "Take a look at my photos" "They're good photos" " Morning" " Morning" "We'll be discussing the upcoming jump rope competition" "First let's choose the two who'll turn the rope" "We already have one" "She's got a bad leg" "Emi, how about it?" "Emi, she's asking you" "Emi, will you do it?" "Is that settled?" "Well, the other one then" "Yuka for sure" " No hard feelings" "Yuka, will you do it?" "Now we'll fix the jumping order, so everyone come up front" "I want to go first" "I'll go second" "I'm sorry if I mess up" "It's okay- Who cares if we win or not?" "Do you want to practice together?" "No" "The class will practice anyway" "But what if we can't do it right then?" "Who cares?" "The order's settled, so let's start practicing during recess" "Is that all right?" " Yes" " Yes" "Okay, it's recess then" "Emi, your birthday was yesterday, right?" "How do you know that?" "We've never talked before" "It was in the class list" "The one we made in April?" "Yes" " I copied down everyone's birthdays" "What?" "Why would you do such a thing?" "I'm sorry" "No, I'm not angry- Just asking why" "I'm copying the hospital" "In the class called the 'Friends' Room,' on our birthdays, the hospital staff sang for us and gave us gifts" "We looked forward to it" "So you're copying that?" "Yes" "But it's not the same" "They don't celebrate with you- It's not the same at all" "I'm sorry" "But I understand" " Sort of" "Happy Birthday, Emi" "Shall we practice a little?" "You're too close" "Now you're too far- Is this your first time?" "Yes" " I'm not allowed to exercise and sweat" "What's wrong?" "My kidneys" "They can't control the fluids in my body" "Let's hurry" "I get tired standing up" "Oh, I'm sorry" "Don't apologize" "Here we go" "You have to hold it tighter" "I'm sorry" "One, two" "Faster" "What are you doing?" "Turn it with me" "Match the size of the loop" "Why do you go faster and slower?" "It's no use" " Forget it" "Emi, I'm sorry" "Listen, Yuka" "Let me tell you a little secret" "You're half the reason why my leg is like this" "Emi, let me in" "Sure" "Let me in, too" "Sure" "Me, too" "It's too full" "It's cold" "I'm cold, too" "Who's that?" "Yuka Kusuhara in Class 3- She's ill and doesn't come to school much" "Don't push" "Never mind, I'll go with Yuka" "Sorry" "See?" "It was your fault" "Don't you think so?" "I'm never going to recover" "I can't run" " I can't ride a bike" "I don't want to go swimming anymore" "When it rains, using an umbrella with crutches is such a pain" " Really?" " Is soccer fun?" " Is it fun?" " It's fun" "That's great" "I'm finished" "What's wrong, Emi?" "Nothing" "And get this" "The other goalkeeper was lousy" "Emi's Birthday" "Mom, open the door" "I'll drive you" "No thanks" "Can I go to school with you?" "Okay" "I brought the biggest umbrella we have" "You've improved" "Let's rest a little" "Okay" "You all right?" "Yeah" "I'm sorry" "About what?" "About what I said- I didn't mean it" "Yeah" "Oh" "What?" "That's sort of like it" "What?" "That cloud" "There used to be a puffy cloud in the 'Friends' Room-'" "A puffy cloud?" "A sky was on the wall, with planes, butterflies, birds, and a rainbow" "The puffy cloud was at the top, and I felt like I was flying" "Wow" "Hello" " This, please- - 50 yen" "Emi, do you want one, too?" " Yes- - 100 yen" "Yes, that's exact" " Thank you" " Thanks" " You're welcome" "Here, Emi" "Thanks" "But 'puffy cloud' is just my name for it" "Is it still there?" "In the 'Friend's Room-'" "It became a picture of a different sky when I entered school" "There's a cloud but it's different" "I think the puffy cloud escaped the room and is floating in the real sky somewhere" "Yuka" "You've never jumped rope before, right?" "Right" "Do you want to?" "Yes" "For five years after that, we were always together." "When did you come here?" "I was like you at first" "What?" "I asked the principal if I could take photos" "But he said no" "I see" "May I see these?" "No!" "Go play outside!" " She's mad" " So scary" "So I said, 'Then let me work here-'" "'And if the kids give me permission, may I take photos?" "'" "But now I'm just happy to be here" "Did you have any other friends?" "Always just us two" "Why was it always only Yuka?" "Because we walked at the same pace" "But there was another girl, actually" "No!" " She's mad again" " So scary" "No, give it back" "I don't have it" "Yes, you do" " What do you say?" "I'm sorry" "All right" "Hana!" "I can't go Saturday" "Sorry to always cancel, but we can go next week" "Togawa's got other plans that day" "Oh" " Okay" "Our friendship's eternal and invincible, but my relationship with him is shaky" "I don't want to regret things later" "You're not mad, are you?" "No, I understand" "Thanks" " See ya" "Togawa" "Today we'll use what we learned last week and apply them to isosceles triangles" "First, if AB equals AC in triangle ABC, what can be estimated?" "Nishida?" "Angle B equals angle C" "Correct" "In triangle ABC, supposing AB equals AC, then angle B equals angle C" " To prove this, divide angle A" " Hana, what's wrong?" "Sir, I think Hana isn't feeling well" "What's the matter?" "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine" "Is something wrong?" "I'm not sure" "Are you really okay?" "Yeah" "That's good" "What do you think about Shiho lately?" "She's crazy about Togawa" "You two don't hang out anymore" "Do you go home together?" "If you want, you could hang out with us" "Us meaning Yano-chan and Michiko" "I know" "They say that they'd be cool with letting you in our group" "Oh my god" " Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "So many sick people in your class today" "How do you feel?" "You're awake- Shall I call your mother?" "Oh, no, I'm fine" "Take it easy" "Yuka will use this bed" "Stay in bed" "We're taking the English test now, so don't bother going back" "Let's take the retest together" "Please look after her" "Of course" "Let me know when it beeps" "I'm sorry I woke you up" "Don't apologize" " I'm fine" "Can you sleep with someone nearby?" "Yeah" " How about you?" "I'm used to it from hospitals" "You're good friends with Emi" "Yeah" "Don't you get lonely with just the two of you?" "I mean, isn't it more fun having lots of friends?" "I'd rather spend lots of time with Emi" "What's so good about Emi?" "It's hard to explain" "You get along well?" "Actually, we don't" "Is she nice?" "She's short tempered" "Oh" " I know" "Emi's the puffy cloud" "What's that?" "My friend from when I was little" "No offense, but you're talking nonsense" "Stop talking" "Down" " Right" " Left" "Everything appears to be fine" "Can you tell me when your vision blurs?" "At school, suddenly" "During class?" "No, other times, too" "How about yesterday?" "I was talking to a classmate" "What were you talking about?" "Nothing" " Normal stuff" "About something fun?" "Or something unpleasant?" "Do I have to tell you?" "How about now?" "It's kind of blurred" "I believe she's got myopia" "Myopia can be unstable in its early stages" "My husband and I both have good vision" "Well, myopia is generally on the increase" "Try these on" "The tests show that these should be perfect for you" "I can see clearly" "If your eyes are bloodshot, please notify the receptionist" "Hey, can I go home now?" "Will you be all right?" "Yeah" " I can see better now" "Be careful" "Okay" "Mrs" " Hanai, could we have a word?" "Yes" "Emi" "You're wearing glasses" "Yeah, I went to the ophthalmologist- And you?" "Yuka's been hospitalized again" "Oh no, that must be my fault" "Why?" "She wasn't feeling well but I made her talk" "It's not your fault" "Hey, what's a 'puffy cloud'?" "Yuka said that you were the puffy cloud" "Yuka said that?" "Yeah" "I see" "But I don't really know what kind of cloud it is" "Whenever I see one that I think is it," "I show it to her but it's always not" "How is Yuka?" "She's getting worse every season" "Can I go visit her?" "No" "You have the right to tell me that?" "If you're going to forget anyway, don't bother making memories" "The puffy cloud is really Yuka" "Hey!" "Those glasses suit you" "Are these glasses real?" "I can see through them" "What do you mean?" "Really" " Try them on, Mom" "No, silly- The doctor prescribed them" "Here" " See, they're real" "Let's eat strawberries" "Mom" "You can see now, so does it matter?" "What do you mean?" "The doctor said that these glasses are effective- ---Strawberries" "You spoke with the doctor?" "Hey" "Tell me the truth" "Can I have this, Sis?" "No, they're your sister's, so give them back" "You want milk with that?" "About this much?" " Okay, come here" " We'll run, so line up" "Okay, boys come here- We'll do warm-ups" "Okay, get ready to run" "Everybody line up- Get a move on" "Ready?" "Get set" "Run!" "Run!" "Stop talking" "5, 6, 7, 8!" "1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7, 8!" "1, 2, 3, 4!" "5, 6, 7, 8!" "1, 2, 3, 4!" "5, 6, 7, 8!" "1, 2, 3, 4!" "5, 6, 7, 8!" "You quit wearing glasses?" "Yeah" " They were too much hassle" "Oh" "They weren't real, anyway" "Mine's a psychogenic visual disorder" "How depressing" "Just because Shiho's got a boyfriend" "I can't believe it" "Emi, aren't you lonely when Yuka's not around?" "No, not really" "But you're friends" "Yeah" "Don't you become friends with someone to always be together with her?" "Isn't that what friends are?" "To be honest, I think you're a cold person" "You can have that cloud" "The restroom" "Eyes slanted up" "Eyes slanted down" "Cat's eyes" "Go!" "Go!" "Yeah!" "You can play on your own" "Hey wait, that's not fair" "Isn't it tough being with my sister?" "Shut up" "No, it's pretty interesting" "You won't be saying that for long" "Mr" " Nakahara, are you published?" "Well, just articles in magazines so far" "Please show me next time- I want to read it" "Thanks" "May I borrow your camera?" " Sure" " Thank you" "Want me to take your picture, Sis?" "With Mr" " Nakahara" " No," " Come on" "I don't like having my picture taken" "There you go" "Ready?" "I enlarged the photos I borrowed from you" "I didn't ask you to" "Here" "Here" "Here are the results of the mid-term exams" "Quiet!" " Akazawa" " Yes" "Ando" "Izumi" " Izumi" " Inoue" " Yes" "Let me see" "Izumi scored the highest in our grade!" "460 points" " Wow, that's amazing" " Amazing!" "460 points?" "Nakanishi" "Here" "5 points short of Izumi- 2nd place" "Let me see" " Furuya" " Yes!" "Ninomiya" "Miyoshi" "You have to work harder" "Nojima!" "Aren't Izumi and Nakanishi awesome?" "They're already regulars" "Yeah, too awesome- But they're both cool" "I'm best friends with Bun-chan" "Huh?" "You know- He and I were friends as kids" "Yeah, back in grade school" "We grew up together" "We're like brothers--- no, twins" "Surprised?" "Isn't it cool?" "You're such a moron- That's the past" "You and Izumi are too different now" "Bun-chan, good move!" "He's ignoring you" " Let's go" " Okay" "Looking again won't change the score" "Kazu, do you want an apple?" "No" "What happened?" "Bun and Moto are two of the prefecture's best 11 players" "Really?" "They're the youngest players" "That's so cool" "Bun-chan, you did it!" "You're one of the best 11, right?" "Yeah, but what's it to you?" "But I'm so proud of you, Bun-chan" "Don't call me 'Bun-chan-'" "Don't use '-chan' like a kid" "So which country will you play in?" "I want to go to Brazil" "You won't make money in Brazil" "Miyoshi" " Why don't you come to practice?" "I quit" " I could never be a starting player" "But you haven't officially quit" "I can't go back now" "I'll apologize to the older players with you" "No thanks" " Dumplings, please- - 250 yen" "Thank you" "Kazu" "Long time no see" "You never visit anymore" "Well, he and I live in different worlds now" "What?" "What are you doing?" "I'm taking pictures of clouds" "Are you in a club?" "I joined the soccer club, but I quit" "Oh" " Bun never told me about that" "He'd never talk about me" "Oh" "Bun-chan's amazing" "He's now one of the prefecture's best 11 players" "I know" " Moto, too, right?" "Bun-chan is way cooler than Moto-kun" "He scored the most goals" "He's such a star" "Compared to him, I'm subhuman" "Really worthless" "Bun-chan's amazing- He and I aren't" "But back in 2nd grade, I learned how to multiply before he did" "I could run faster than him" "But that was only until the 2nd grade" "After that, Bun-chan always went way ahead of me" "He's just so awesome" "But he used to say," "'You and I will be best friends forever, Kazu-'" "But when Moto-kun transferred into our school, they used to fight at first, but soon they became friends" "But I thought that was only natural" "Gotcha" "Just come on over again" "Bun" "You're in trouble- What will you do?" "I don't know" " Gotta pee" "What?" "Why is Bun-chan in trouble?" "Bun and Moto are in danger" "The 8th graders are out to get them" "I knew this was coming" "The 8th graders are pissed because they aren't regulars now" "Don't worry- Bun-chan can take them on" "I'm sure he's stronger than you are" "He always says that the older guys are wimps" "Kazu, phone call" " Who is it?" " Amano-kun" "Amano?" "Hello?" "Yo, Miyoshi." "It's Amano." "In the 8th grade." "Oh" " Hello" " He answered" " He answered!" "So I hear Izumi said that we're wimps" "Lots of guys heard you say so" "Is it true?" "No" "Don't lie, Miyoshi!" "You said so, right?" "Yes" "Fine, you're our witness." "Come to Kagaminakajo Bridge." "We'll call Izumi over and settle things." "I'm home" "You're early- Do you want to take a bath?" "I'm hungry" "Then I'll get dinner ready quickly" "I bought some cream puffs" "What's wrong?" "Kazu!" "Kazuo" "Move!" "What the hell are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Please stop!" "He's running away!" "Hold him!" "Don't run away, Izumi!" "Hey, wait!" "Hey, wait!" "Wait!" "What are you doing?" "You said it, right?" "Don't mess with me!" " Fess up, man" " I'm sorry" " You said that" " I'm sorry" " Tell them!" " I'm sorry" " Don't mess up with me!" " I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" " I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "Stop crying" "There's nothing for you to cry about" "What a bunch of losers, skipping practice to plan this" "You said it" "But hey, thanks, Moto" "And Miyoshi, thanks to you, too" "But why are you here, Miyoshi?" "Just chance, right?" "Hey, wasn't Miyoshi punching himself so funny?" "Yeah, that was great" "I could never hit myself so hard" "Yeah, me neither" "That was awesome in a way, Miyoshi" "I'm hungry" "Bun-chan" " Moto-kun" " I'm sorry" "I mean, thanks" "Shut up" "Forget it, man- I didn't do anything" "And stop saying '-chan' and '-kun-'" "Just call me Bun- I prefer it that way" "And you can call me Moto" "I'll save you if you're ever attacked, Moto" "Sure, come if you're bored" "And Miyoshi, I'll come save you, too" "And I'll cry in your stead" "Bun-chan, let's go grab a bite" "Stop saying '-chan-'" "Hey, why not get everybody to see your photos?" "An exhibit" "Don't be silly- I told you I don't like 'everybody-' 'l don't believe in 'everybody-' 'l just need the people close to me-'" "I can't believe you remembered that" "I thought it was a good idea" "Here we are" "That's the third Valentine I've ever given" "The third, huh" "Hurry up" "Thanks- Be careful on your way home" "Welcome back" "You're still here" "Yes, well" "So how was he?" "How was Koji?" "He won't be coming for a while" "But he was almost better" "If he quits now, he'll revert to type" "If he likes it here, he'll return" "You're right" "We must be patient" "Yes" "I heard about the photo exhibit" "The students are excited, too" "I haven't decided yet" "It's a fine idea" "It will greatly encourage the students" "1, 2, 3, 4--- 5, 6, 7, 8" "2, 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7, 8!"

"You 8th graders are responsible, too" "We're sorry" "7th graders, go run to make up for this" " Yes!" " Yes!" "What's so funny?" "Nothing" " Hello" " Hello" "What's up?" "Sato-san's making us run" "Hang in there" " Yes" " Yes" "Why are they late?" "Student council" "They're the president and vice-president" "I know that" " Forget it" " Hi" " Hi" "What's up?" "The balls were dirty so he got mad" " Sato-san?" " Sato-san" "Okay, warm-ups again" "Achilles tendon- 1, 2, 3, 4" "It's from Kono-kun" "Take it in the other room" "Hello?" "What do you want?" "Sato, stop going to soccer practice." "Why?" "I'm coaching them" "You made them run for no reason." "There was a reason" "Just don't go anymore." "Sato Piano Class" " Hello" " Hello" " Izumi" " Yes" "You snitched on me, didn't you?" "You told Kono about the 7th graders" "No, I didn't" "Kono-san asked how things were, so I told him you drop by often" "If you have any respect for me, pick those up" "Loser" "What a jerk" "Kotono's leaving, so walk her to the bus stop" "It's her last day today" " Hurry" "Hey, I know you're busy, but could I ask you a favor?" "What do you want?" "A friend wants to know if you still have the soccer team's videotape" "Videotape?" "When the 9th graders retired from the team, you got a video, right?" "Yeah" "Does that tape include the goals scored by the 8th graders, too?" "Huh?" "Oh" " Yeah" "Could I borrow it?" "I'll give it right back" "My friend's a fan of Izumi and Nakanishi in the 8th grade" "She wants the video to remember them by" "Oh, it's not me- It's someone else" "I didn't say it was" "It's really not me- I like someone else" "I'll bring it to school tomorrow" "You got a chocolate- It's in there, right?" "No, I didn't" "Kubo's got a chocolate" "That was quick" " Thanks" "I don't want it anymore" "Really?" "You did the same thing I did" "No big deal" "I put my hand inside too, but nothing" "Nope, definitely nothing" "It's not too late- There's still time" "I'll be in the classroom until 5:30" "You've still got time" "Big news!" "Kotono's giving a chocolate to a guy in Class 1" "No way" "Let's go look" " Hello" " Hello" "I'll coach you" "Thank you" "What do you want to do?" "We were about to do some pressure drills" "Great" " I'll be the defender, and you pass me" "In your uniform?" "It's no problem" "Okay, okay!" "Bun, over here!" "Over here!" "Bun, shoot!" "He's coming from behind!" "Shoot!" "Okay, nice shoot!" "Do you want to change your cleats?" "Shut up" "Bun, here!" "Here!" "Here!" "Bun!" "Are you okay?" "Bun!" "Hey!" "Hey, Bun!" "Are you all right?" "Bun!" "Are you all right?" "Bun!" "You okay, Bun?" "Um" "Is Bun inside?" "The school nurse is with him" "You brought that for him?" "Thanks" "I'm sorry" "You're a 9th grader, right?" "You must be busy- You can go home now" "No" "Then have a seat" "Wow" "He has seven" "You're Sato, right?" "Number 16, a substitute" "You're in the soccer video Bun watches a lot" "That couldn't be me" "There's no way I'd be in that video" "When Bun scored a goal, you were jumping up and down" "You looked really happy" "Go home and check it out" "You were tiny" " Like this" "I suck at soccer" "I'm worse than an 8th grader" "Yeah, I can tell" "The 7th and 8th graders think I'm a loser" "Yes, you seem pretty unpleasant" "But when Bun scored that day you looked like you were the happiest member of the team" "Izumi and Nakanishi are the ones who scored" "I just watched" "The days are longer now" "Sato, do you not like clouds?" "Do you prefer the sun?" "I suppose" "But when the sky is perfectly blue, it's boring" "The sky's expression depends on clouds" "Sometimes the sun's too bright and it's annoying" "The cloud brings rain and it cuts off sunlight- It's pretty erratic" "A cloud" "It's been a long time" " Have a seat" " Thanks" "You graduated high school?" "Yes" " You still work at the junior high?" "Oh be quiet" " How are you?" "I'm fine" "I'm getting married next month" "Really?" "Congratulations!" "Thanks" "I thought it might be broken, but it's just a sprain" "Lucky you" "I can start practicing next week" "Can I take a picture?" "Okay" "You too, Sato" " Come here" "It's all right" "It really wasn't on purpose" "I know that" " It's all right" "If that were a game, it wouldn't have even been a yellow" "Okay, done" "My sister's a bit strange" "I can tell" "I'll pay the bill, so wait in the car" "Okay" " Please help him" " Okay" " Let's go" " Yes" "I'll pay you back tomorrow" "Silly" "Please tell Izumi later that I'm sorry" "You tell him that yourself" "I bought this for Bun, but he already has a lot so you can have it" "It's the 2nd time I've ever given a Valentine to someone not my family" "And you're the first guy" "I can't wait" "I wonder what he's like?" "She's bringing him over, so he must be fine" "If he's just fooling around with Emi," "I'll teach him a lesson" "Don't be silly" "Hello, Emi" "Welcome" "Long time no see" "My name is Nakahara" "Please come in" "Yes, please do" "Kindergarten" "Entered grade school" "First grade" " Second grade" "Third grade" " Fourth grade" "She made a friend" "She entered junior high" "Blow them out" "Wait a sec" "Okay" " Happy Birthday!"

"Open it" "It might not be it, but" "It's a puffy cloud" "This part was really similar" "Wow" "Thanks, Emi" "I'll do better next time" "I'll treasure it for life" "Don't exaggerate" "Yuka, isn't that sweet?" " Isn't it amazing?" " Yes!" "Thank you" "This part is interesting, isn't it?" "Emi" "I heard Yuka's been in the hospital" "I didn't know" "It's not your fault- You're not in her class" "Can I visit her?" "No, now's not the time" "It's a puffy cloud" "Or it might be" "When I went to Hakone," "I took a picture of a cloud that might be it" "Could you give that to Yuka?" "Thanks" "I'm sure this'll make her happy" "I'm getting better at this, you know" "Emi" "I'm sure Yuka will still be with us for now, so don't strain yourself" "I'm not" "Don't come again until after your entrance exams" "Yuka worries about such things, you know" "I think she's worrying right now that she's interfering with your studies" "So, please understand" "I'll be going, then" "Yuka" "Yuka" "Yuka" "Emi" "Thanks for coming" "But your exam's coming up, right?" "Good luck" "I'm sure Yuka's rooting for you, too" "See you" "Oh, and I'm rooting for you, too" "Dad, Mom, I'm going now" "Wait a minute" "Don't you need a ride?" "No thanks" " I have to learn to commute by myself" "That's true" "Good luck, Emi" "Good luck" "Be careful on your way there" "Good luck" "Emi."
