Episode 33 :
いつか 割れる ひ
("Someday We'll Laugh at This Day")
Doumyouji is standing on the roof of a very tall
building. He is walking along the edge of the roof, looking down at the ground
far below. Tsukushi is up on the roof with him. He says "You hate me, don't
you," Then says something about love and hate. Tsukushi thinks about Love and
hate as well. Then Doumyouji says see ya later, and suddenly, Doumyouji smiles
at Tsukushi and lets himself fall backwards over the edge of the building.
Screaming, Tsukushi wakes up to find herself in a strange room. She is in a
hospital, and her mother is there in the room with her. Tsukushi realizes she is
there after what happened to herself and Doumyouji before. Thinking about
Doumyouji, Tsukushi jumps up and races out of her room, leaving her mother
behind. Tsukushi is frantic to find out how Doumyouji is. After harassing a poor
hospital nurse who isn't giving her any anwsers, Tsukushi meets up with Rui, who
is holding a bouquet of white flowers. Rui looks very sad. What he says to
Tsukushi, combined with the sight of the white flowers (which happen to be the
symbol of death) make Tsukushi fear the worst.
Tsukushi finds Doumyouji's room, and hears the sounds of
crying coming from it. She goes into the room and finds Doumyouji laid out on
the bed with a cloth over his face. Soujirou is sitting by the bed crying. Akira
is facing the windows, and sniffling sounds can be heard coming from him.
Shocked, Tsukushi believes Doumyouji to be dead. Sitting down by him, she
removes the cloth and looks at his peaceful face. She says some things to him
that apparently are not what DOumyouji expected to hear because a little furrow
forms between his brow. Finally, he opens his eyes and yells at Tsukushi.
Tsukushi is surprised badly by Doumyouji being alive. Then Soujirou and Akira
burst out laughing, as does Doumyouji. Shocked and hurt that they tricked her,
Tsukushi begins to beat them up. Outside of the room, Rui approaches, hears the
ruckus going on inside and decides it would probably be better for him to not
make an appearance yet. He sticks his tounge out at the door playfully.
Akira and Nishikado also make a strategic exit at this time.
Before they go, Doumyouji stops them and gives them a paper. On it is a list of
the guys who beat him up, their descriptions, and the number of kicks and hits
each one deserves. The two nod and leave.
Alone with him, Tsukushi sits and faces away from him.
Doumyouji starts talking and sound very petulant. Tsukushi just sits there.
Doumyouji wants to know what is wrong. Faces away from him. He talks about
helping her, and paying for the hospital etc. Tsukushi turns around and looks at
him, she has tears in her eyes. Doumyouji looks surprised. Tsukushi says that he
shouldn't have come, she couldn't believe he came, he was such an idiot to come!
She was very worried.
Outside the hospital, someone arrives, enters, and is heading
up to Doumyouji's room. Meanwhile, Tsukushi is crying. Doumyouji wants to know
why she was surprised he would come. He tries to comfort her and tells her not
to cry. He says something else too. He cheers her up and sme smiles and calls
him an idiot. Just then the door opens and enters the room. It is Junpei!
Doumyouji looks at him over Tsukushi's shoulder and frowns.
Tsukushi wonders at Doumyouji's expression and looks at him, surprised to see
him. Tsukushi jumps up and stands between Doumyouji and Junpei, thinking perhaps
he has come to harass Doumyouji again. Doumyouji stops her. Junpei walks to a
window and looks out, saying he was sorry. Doumyouji asks what all of it was
about, and Junpei tells the story of how in Jr. High, Doumyouji really punched
his older brother very hard. Doumyouji is surprised that this is that guy's
younger borther. Junpei talks some more about his brother and talks about
Tsukushi and using her to get Doumyouji. Doumyouji seems very calm and is
accepting all of this.
Quietly he asks Junpei if he kissed Tsukushi, and Junpei says
yes he did. Tsukushi is quick to jump up and deny this, saying she bit him.
Junpei walks over to Tsukushi and apologizes for what he did. Tsukushi tells him
to hurry and leave. Junpei says something about Tsukushi loving Doumyouji and
then leaves. Tsukushi watches him go and thinks that she can almost understand
his feelings a little.
Kazuya and Sakurako have arirved at the hospital. Kazuya is
very worried and is dragging Sakurako with him. As he gets on the elevator, he
is shocked to confront Junpei who is on his way out. Kazuya yells at Junpei and
calls him an idiot. He looks to Sakurako for agreement, but Sakurako is drooling
over how cute Junpei is. When they get to Doumyouji's room, they happily greet
her. Outside the hotel, Junpei walks away, remembering his time as Tsukushi's
friend, meeting her at school, doing the photo shoot, etc. He can hear Kazuya
and Tsukushi laughing together from the open window upstairs. He looks genuinely
sad that he lost her friendship through what he did. He leaves.
Later, Rui, Nishikado, and Akira return to the hospital, his
time with photos. They call over to Tsukushi, who comes into the room. They show
them to Doumyouji and Tsukushi. The photos depict the remaining F4 guys beating
the crud out of the guys who had attacked Doumyouji. The last picture shows the
guys beaten into submission and Rui shaving off all of their hair. How
satisfying.
Akira and Nishikado say stuff about love and mimic lovers,
holding each other in their arms and saying 'It's love!' then they ask Tsukushi
about Doumyouji. She denies everything, but they press her, seeming to want to
get her and Doumyouji together. What does she think about him? Tsukushi just
stands there looking blank. They back her into a wall. Tsukushi says that she
doesn't like his money... She is being pressured by Akira and Nishikado.
Finally, Tsukushi stutters and says that she thinks inside Doumyouji is a dog.
This pretty much shuts everyone up except for Rui who begins laughing hard. All
everyone else can say is 'Inu?' ('dog?') Little pictures of dogs race by, with
lots of barking sound effects. Tsukushi leaves the room in a hurry.
