466-2 Can I come see you right now?

466-3 Actually, I'm pretty close

466-5 Hey. Izumi.

467-1 This is a nice place, sensei

467-2 C'mon in

467-4 Let me stay here a while

467-5 Naw...

Better go home this evening

468-1 W-why are you being like that?

You said I should come visit!

468-2 I just updated everyone with my new address

When did I slay that?

468-3 What the hell is that?

468-4 Look, sensei, you're the one who...

I got it already. Don' preach to me!

469-1 It's quiet here, huh?
Where's your wife?

We split

You split?

469-2 So, why are you here?

469-3 Hm?
Just on a whim

On a whim?

469-4 What the hell?
You got dumped?

470-1 I didn't get dumped

So, how long do you plan on staying?

470-2 Whyyy?

You're living alone here, right?

470-3 I like being alone

471-1 Lemme say this - I'm not a host!

You make your own meals too

Oh, come on

471-2 Can I use the futon in the closet?

Yeah

471-3 Don't go in my room

472-1 Aaaaah

472-2 Maybe I shouldn't have come

472-3 sfx: slide

472-5 So this is how old guys

live alone

472-6 No art supplies at all

473-2 creak

473-3 Hm?

473-5 Wh-what the?

474-1 Uwaaa!

475-2 Could this be....

475-3 Izumi!

sfx: bang

476-1 What...

476-2 S-sorry...

477-2 ...he's got a Real Doll in his bunk

477-3 sigh

477-4 Izumi

477-5 Go on home

Get out now

478-1 You don't mean...

I just got here

478-2 Whatever. Just leave!

Why?

478-3 Why...?

479-3 I've apologized over and over! I'm sorry!

480-1 Gimme a break

480-2 If apologies could make things ok, we'd wouldn't need cops.

480-3 What can I do?

480-4 Don't put it on me

Turn back time

481-1 You're acting like a kid!

481-2 Me!? I'm in the wrong!?

481-3 I didn't say that

481-4 It was an accident

481-5 I can't believe what you just said!

482-2 You're lookin' down on me, right?

482-3 N-no

482-5 Siiiigh

483-3 I'm hungry...

483-5 Ding dong

484-1 Let's go grab a bath, sensei

I'm not goin' today

484-2 You got a guest?
Then you gotta take them to the hot springs!

It's fine

484-3 Huh? A woman? She's young!

484-4 Good evening

484-5 What's this about a hot spring?

Just a hot spring

484-6 It's an outdoor spring

It's got mixed bathing.
No changing rooms or anything

Since it's free

485-1 You're not going, sensei?

I'm not

485-2 You go

Wha? You're going?

485-3 See you, sensei

485-4 So just what are you to sensei?

486-2 It's nice that there's no one around, huh?

All the old tomato farmer guys are letchers, it's like, crazy

486-3 Want me to rub your shoulders?

No, don't trouble yourself

487-2 I bet you don't want to go back

487-3 Or something, huh?

487-4 Come to my place?

Gotta deal with my parents, though

487-5 There's a hotel up ahead

487-6 Yeah, that'd be ok

Oh man, you Tokyo girls sure are different!

488-1 It was a joke! A joke!

Sorry! Hey!

488-4 Huh? The doors locked!

What the!?

488-5 What a brat!

489-3 sniff

489-4 You still here?

489-5 Yeah, I have a car, remember?

489-6 Sensei!

What!?

490-1 I'm sorry for going in your room!

I'm really sorry!

490-2 I just never would have thought you'd have something like that

So now you're pinning this on me

490-4 What!? Holed up in the mountains make you lonely?

Just go already!

sfx: wham

490-5 I can't! I've got crap going on too!

That's why I came here!

Like I care

491-1 Don't say "like I care"!

I thought you were a better man than that!
I respected you!

491-2 You're like a kid! Just a regular dirty old man!

What's wrong with that?

491-3 Nothing!

It's fine for you to live with your Real Doll!

Why can't you just handle this like an adult!

491-4 Like I could do that about something this embarrassing!

It's already embarrassing!

492-1 In any case
I'm not going home yet

It's hiding it that's the problem

492-2 Like I could open about that!

Why not!?

492-3 It's creepy either way

492-4 So just stop hiding it

While I'm here

492-5 What?

492-6 Bring it out

Let's live together. The three of us.

493-1 You're nuts

So it's ok if I go get it?

493-2 Wait! Wait!

Ok, you go get it, sensei!

493-3 Think about what you're saying!

It's crazy! Stupid!

493-4 I'm getting it

Ah!

493-5 Wait a sec! Hey!

494-2 sip

495-1 So what?

Eh?

495-2 It's name

496-1 Well, whatever.

sfx: twitch

496-2 Heh

496-3 The p-point is

Wh-what?

496-4 I need to know her name

So I can address her like a little sister

sigh

497-2 Haaaaaah

Don't sigh

Like that

498-1 Why is this happening to me?

Let's just give it a shot, ok!!

498-2 "Give it a shot"...
You...

What else am I gonna do?
Don't complain!

498-3 Hey you! You say something too!

Don't say "hey you". It's rude.
