[footsteps approaching]
-[Ruka] Boo! [laughs] -Oh! Oh my gosh.
-[Ruka] Hello. -Hey.
-Is that a test you're doing? -Mm-hmm. Exam prep.
-Okay. -Oh.
Here. I went on vacation, and I got you this.
-Two days ago? -Mm-hmm.
-Oh! Thank you! -Mm-hmm.
I love it.
Hey, let me quiz you.
Which ones?
Uh, these sticky notes.
-Okay. -Mm-hmm.
It's two weeks' worth 'cause I was on the school trip.
[tender piano music playing]
It was fun, right?
[chuckles] Yeah.
[tender piano music continues]
[phone buzzing]
RUKA ICHINOSE PHOTO RECEIVED
RUKA ICHINOSE WE'RE DOING FIREWORKS
THIS SCHOOL TRIP ONLY HAPPENS ONCE
Hey.
[tender piano music continues]
During the etiquette training, were you looking at me?
I was not.
[laughs] Yeah, you definitely were.
I was not.
Yeah! I caught you looking.

CHASTITY HIGH
[mysterious music playing]
[Atsushi] Fujino, wait!
[footsteps approaching]
I saw a couple and was gonna take a photo, but I forgot my phone today.
Where?
[Atsushi] Over there, behind the stairs.
[pensive music playing]
I'll go later.
But if you don't go now, you could miss them.
[sighs]
[music fades]
[man] I'm truly sorry.
Please explain yourself.
I already told you.
You're absolutely right, Chihiro.
It's all true.
I had an affair with Yoichi.
You say it so casually!
[woman crying]
[emotional music playing]
Look, just explain to me exactly what happened.
[man] We're sorry.
[young Ichica] What's that?
[young Atsushi] Wanna see?
Yeah, I do.
[music fades]
[camera clicks]
OKAJIMA AND IIJIMA ARE DATING I CAN PROVE THEY HAD SEX
Oh.
[Ruka] And this one?
-[Yuma] Voluntary? -[Ruka] Yep! Correct!
-[Yuma] Mm. -I can't read this.
-Which one? -What's this one?
[Yuma] Conceal. Yeah?
-[Ruka] Conceal. -[Yuma] Yeah.
[man on PA] Please watch your step as you get off the train.
[sighs]
Well, see you later.
[Ruka] Hey.
[tender piano music playing]
Uh… [chuckles softly]
Walking alone from here's gotta get tiring, am I right?
Maybe we could walk to school together?
And hold hands.
We can't.
I'll call you.
Mm.
[phone chimes]
[man on PA] Thank you for your patience. We will depart shortly.
Please mind the closing doors.
[door alert chimes]
[Ruka] Yuma!
What is it?
Look here.
[Yuma] This is… from the school trip.
[Ruka] Someone took this of us.
This must be that LK they're talking about.
What do we do?
What is it?
Haruto's fiancée is visiting us today.
What?
[melancholy music playing]
[Ryogo] I'm sorry.
But now you know.
You might wanna rethink things with him.
[melancholy music continues]
Are you okay?
[chuckles]
Doing all right.
Could I… talk to you for a little?
[Ryogo] Sure.
[door opens]
-[Ryogo] You sure you're all right? -[Ayami] Yeah.
Actually, if it's okay…
FOUR: MUSICAL FIVE: DANCE
Our class will organize a group dance.
[students murmuring]
[Yuzuki] Nashiki?
Nashiki.
-Oh. -The cameras.
Everyone!
You'll all get one of these today,
so please take photos of the preparations and anything else you'd like.
[students groan]
Photos of the day will get displayed.
Come get one!
-All set? Let's take theirs. -Yeah.
[indistinct chattering]
Arisawa!
What is it?
What do you mean you're doing LK alone?
I'm honestly okay. [chuckles]
You're pretty friendly with her.
Well, I wouldn't say "friendly."
[bell ringing]
See ya.
[Ichica] I can't stand doing Love Keeper with him,
while all I can see is the two of them getting even closer.
[automated voice] Please follow the instructions on the screen.
[emotional music playing]
Hey!
Since we're out here, wanna get some tea together?
We can't be sure who's watching.
-Okay. -Mm.
It's best we go separately in the mornings too.
Okay, then.
[Yuma] Well… I'm going.

[knocking at door]
Arisawa, open the door. It's me, Kanda.
[stirring music playing]
Someone's coming. Hurry up and open it.
I want to help you. Please.
Trust me.
-[Ichica] Uh, um… -Sh!
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades]
[door opens]
[door closes]
-Let's go. -I… I have to delete a leak first.
There's no time for that.
It's Fujino.
She's searching all over for the Love Keeper.
She's searching?
So are you the one?
The Love Keeper?
Don't worry.
I'll keep your secret.
You're here.
Listen…
[Ichica] Oh, Maki is also part of Love Keeper.
Oh, is that so?
[Ryogo] What is this?
I found out by accident that Arisawa--
I was asking Ichica.
[whimsical music playing]
Ichica?
Why'd you say you're "doing it alone"?
That's how you got caught, right?
Are you not okay… having me around here?
I think that
if you'd like, I could help you out.
It's dangerous alone.
-[Ryogo] No. We can't allow that. -Huh?
I need money too. I told you that.
[Atsushi] I don't need any money from this.
Keep splitting it between you two.
I know, but we can't drag you into this.
I wanna assist you.
Okay?
Is that so?
Sounds good to me.
All I care about is getting my half.
[Atsushi] You're doing Love Keeper for… financial reasons?
Mm-hmm.
I'm aware it's hard
when others' values differ.
[Ichica] I'm sorry.
It was very kind of you to offer to help me.
It's not a big deal, but
I really was serious about helping you out though.
Thank you.
Mm.
[Ichica] I have to contact those two now.
"Those two"?
Well, I couldn't delete one of the leaks today.
Ah.
Hello?
Yeah, it was all in there.
[Yuma] Then,
I guess LK failed, after all.
Yeah, looks that way.
Oh, but Love Keeper said we won't get expelled
if we're able to delete the photo before they see it.
That's not the point!
Do you think… that we could spin it like a joke?
What?
We are two guys, right?
Like, maybe we lost a bet?
[emotional music playing]
[door opens]
I'll call you later.
-[girl 1] Good work today. -[girl 2] Thank you. You too.
Great job.
YUMA NASHIKI AND RUKA ICHINOSE KISSED EXPEL THEM
[stirring music playing]
Do you know about the one they call the Love Keeper?
No. What is that?
LOVE KEEPER THIS ACCOUNT IS PRIVATE
Somehow, they can get their hands on the information that was leaked.
They blackmail the couples through texts.
Once they've been paid, they delete the leaks.
Is it a student here?
[Ikushima] Most likely.
But… don't you think it's just
a little too risky to be some sort of game?
You're right.
I guess they must have some kind of cause for this.
[Yuki] What do you mean a cause?
It's evident that they are protecting the students' love.
Regardless,
we don't know who might be leaking this information,
so you should be careful too.
I'll be careful.
-Oh, I am so hungry. -I could eat too.
-I'm going to the cafeteria. -Yeah, I'll join you.
What? Why not?
-[Ichica] I didn't delete the leak. -[boy 1] No violations again!
LK is putting in the hard work.
Even though we went on the school trip.
Now we're losing.
[girl 3] We should definitely ramp up the patrols.
[Ruka] Does this mean that LK actually made it?
[Yuma] Mm-hmm. I suppose so.
Yeah, but we got the money back and everything.
I wonder who Love Keeper is.
It feels like they know my secret now.
It's kinda creepy.
Well, anyway.
Thankfully, we're safe for now.
I think that we should be more careful when we're together.
I want… a little time to think.
[tender piano music playing]
I'll be collecting the money tomorrow. Can you come too?
Mm. No problem.
Okay, the station at 12:30.
Ah, okay.
[phone buzzing]
[tender piano music continues]
TO: KANDA
WANNA GO HOME TOGETHER TODAY?
Maki left these?
[Atsushi] He was here?
FROM: HARU WHY WON'T YOU REPLY?
FROM: HARU SEEING SOMEONE ELSE?
[tender piano music continues]
Oh? Are they dating?
-[Koharu] What? -[girl 4] Oh my gosh!
-And they're both really hot. -[Koharu] Yeah, it makes sense.
-[girl 4] Mm-hmm. -[Koharu] Good for them.
[music fades]
TO: AYAMI I'M SORRY
DO YOU REALLY NOT WANT TO TALK TO ME?
I MISS YOU, AYAMI
-[Yuki] Sorry I'm late. -Hey.
-Shall we? -Mm.
-[Haruto] Well? -[Yuki] Mm. [chuckles]
Did you like the last one more than this?
Oh, no.
[chuckles] It looks good on you too.
Mm-hmm.
When you have diamonds in a continuous line like you have here,
it's said to signify eternal love.
This piece carries a lot of weight.
[jeweler] It certainly does.
What about trying the last one again?
[jeweler chuckles] Of course.
Uh, okay, thank you.
[Yuki] Honestly, I just didn't want it at all.
-[Yuki laughs] -[woman] Don't be silly.
Come on, just take the ring already.
[both laugh]
It's weird.
[woman] Hm?
It's like, when did I go and get myself engaged? Wow!
I have no idea.
-Mm. Thank you very much. -[waiter] I'll take these.
-Can I get one more of these, please? -[waiter] Yes, of course.
There are times I hate being an adult.
You're not completely selfish, but you start to think, you know?
Well, yeah.
I feel like I'm not allowed to be with the one I want just 'cause I love them.
[giggles]
Well, find yourself a hot male companion again?
[both laugh]
Hey, stop that.
[laughing]
Mm. Well, why don't you choose after you've thought things through?
Nothing wrong with getting divorced.
Mm.
You're right.
[Mr. Izawa] Hey, watch the court. The whole court. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, good, good, good.
Yeah!
Hey, guard him.
[Asuka] You were watching, weren't you?
You got a crush?
[Yuki] I thought you were going to stop acting so shallow.
Oh, was I?
I was thinking about how you were wasting precious time you won't get back.
[sighs]
Adults always say stuff like that.
You're putting youth on a pedestal.
Am I?
Mm-hmm. You make conclusions by how things look on the outside.
Then that was an improper remark as a counselor.
High school students have a lot of dirty and sneaky sides just like adults.
And adults, even when they realize an old friend of theirs
has a birthday coming up, they can't even contact them.
'Cause it's annoying to talk about going for a drink,
even though you know it'll never work out.
You know, the way you try to be… practical about things,
but you still think and feel so much,
I like that a lot.
Weren't you going to stop acting shallow like that?
No, I thought I was serious just now.

NOTICE NO VIOLATIONS THIS WEEK
[woman] Your mother will be home soon.
[sighs]
[music stops]
[sighs]
[stirring music playing]
[students murmuring]
[boy 1] Whoa! He's student council president.
[boy 2] No way. Who's the other one?
[boy 3] Is that real?
[boy 4] Had no idea he was like that.
[boy 5] For real?
-[boy 6] Seriously? -[boy 7] Damn.
[panting]
[dramatic music playing]
Yuma!
[woman] Go to your classrooms immediately.
Come on, move it!
-Don't stop! Quickly! Don't stop! -Quickly!
Come on! What are you doing?
Go on! Everyone go! Get going!
[dramatic music continues]
[girl 1] No violations this week either.
[girl 2] Huh? Really? Oh, you're right.
[Ichica] Now it's clear.
Now I know the reason why the school didn't even consider this a problem
when it was leaked.
Probably… because they're both boys.
The president hasn't come to school since that day.
Can I get someone to deliver these printouts
to Nashiki's house after school, please?
[Ichica] Yes.
I'll take them over.
Thank you very much.
Also, please don't hang up personal photos on the bulletin board again.
It corrupts public morals.
Now then. As I informed you, everyone will have a small essay test
at the end of today's modern literature class.
That concludes homeroom.
[students murmuring]
[phone line ringing]
You're Arisawa, am I right?
Um, mm-hmm.
You helped me tear all those photos down. Thanks for doing that.
It's okay.
[Ruka] Sorry I didn't thank you before.
I freaked out a bit there.
Are you okay?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I've been open with who I am for ages,
so I'm not really that hurt.
Yuma, he…
was hoping we could stay a secret.
Um, I was asked
by our homeroom teacher to give him some printouts. I'm going there now.
Do you maybe wanna come along?
Uh… I'm not sure he'd like that right now.
Uh…
Well,
I guess I could for a little bit.
Mm.
[doorbell ringing]
[Yuma] Hello?
Uh, it's Arisawa.
I'm here to give you today's printouts.
[door lock clicks]
[Yuma] Okay, come in.
Thank you very much.
[Ruka] It's good to see you.
It's been a while.
[Ichica] Here.
Ms. Minegishi's class.
Thank you for coming.
[Ichica] Hey, Nashiki.
You can join us at school without worrying.
You don't understand
how scary it is to have a secret, one you really didn't want revealed,
and hear gossip concerning you.
[emotional music playing]
No, sorry.
I don't blame you for any of this.
I'm sorry.
I don't want… to have everyone walking on eggshells around me either.
It's so messed up.
I thought that… with that no-romance rule, I could be free.
But now, everyone's privacy is getting intruded.
Thank you for coming.
Mm.
See ya.
[music fades]
[Ruka] Sorry about that.
I think he took everything that
he's been struggling with and thinking about out on you.
[Ichica] Mm-hmm.
I said something I shouldn't have.
Mm-mm.
But… I completely understand how he feels.
Getting outed is a… really big deal for someone our age.
[groans]
Why did we kiss?
We were so careful.
We made sure no one would interfere with us.
When I… saw the fireworks above us,
I may have gotten excited.
[tender piano music playing]
You know?
Mm.
I think I get it.
But, you know…
it's a huge deal for me.
But the school doesn't even consider our relationship as a real one.
Two guys kissing each other,
having their photos leaked…
and corrupting others. Weirdos.
And Yuma won't…
He won't let me share this agony with him.
[groans, chuckles]
Sorry.
[girl 1] Fujino,
you're on patrol today.
Yuma's not coming back to school, so we have to pick up the slack.
-[girl 1] See you later. -[boy 1] See you around.
[indistinct chattering]
[music fades]
-[students] Good morning. -Good morning.
[Ichica] Principal Ikushima.
Do you have a second to talk?
Do you only investigate romances
between a boy and a girl?
Are you telling me that I should punish those two students?
No, that's not what I meant.
Don't you realize?
Anybody would feel hurt if their love was ignored and pushed aside.
Just so we can be clear on the matter,
I don't crack down on love to legitimize it.
How can you say something like that?
When school students fall in love
and lose all control of themselves,
what do you think will happen then?
-In that case-- -At the end of it all…
it's always the girl who gets hurt.
You're not the Love Keeper, are you?
[silence]
No, I'm not.
[breathing nervously]
[indistinct chattering]
Is Maki here with you?
[Ichica] Uh…
[chuckles]
I'll go, then. Thanks though.
[Ichica] Sure.
[emotional music playing]
[Ichica] I've tried to bury my feelings,
but when something hurts, it hurts.
[girl 1] Let's go.
[Yuzuki] Kanda, hey.
What's up?
How do you feel about me?
You ask that
expecting me to say that I have special feelings for you.
[Yuzuki] Then tell me…
who do you have feelings for?
Don't know.
I guess it must be a person who could never reciprocate my feelings.
That's a lie, and you know it.
Even if it's not a lie now,
a day will come when you won't be able to stand it any longer.
But I…
I'm not like you.
[music fades]
Something wrong?
[Ichica] Mm-mm.
I was…
just thinking, "What the heck is with this no-romance rule?"
At first,
I thought people who were in relationships
would be fine even if they broke the rules.
I thought their parents would take care of them
even if they got expelled.
That's why I thought it would be okay.
So that's how I became the Love Keeper.
[Atsushi] Mm.
I knew…
they were all truly in love with each other…
[emotional music playing]
…and that they would struggle and
suffer because of it.
Even though it's easier to try and push feelings away…
they just can't do it.
I feel… kind of lost now.
Don't worry about it.
[Ichica] What do you mean?
Don't worry anymore.
The rules they set up.
The money.
'Cause I'm here.
Thank you.
But what are you saying?
Oh, I'm just… [chuckles]
I'm sorry, I just…
When I see you worry,
something inside of me yells for me to help you out.
Why?
I have no idea.
[chuckles]

You were worried?
You never open up to me, do you know that?

Move your hand.
I'm going home.
