1
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:46,439
I didn't know before I started making art

2
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:49,901
that there's so much to study.

3
00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:53,738
Still, only studying is not enough.

4
00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:58,076
And also, it requires a lot of stamina.

5
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:02,705
THE START OF THE SECOND EXAM

6
00:02:03,748 --> 00:02:06,042
My eyes hurt so much. I can't open them.

7
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:08,419
The hives are terrible too.

8
00:02:09,295 --> 00:02:12,882
Boy, I'm starting to feel cold.

9
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:14,843
Seriously?

10
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:17,637
Is this the end of the line for me?

11
00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:24,185
Yaguchi?

12
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,399
Mori?

13
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:30,316
Huh?

14
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:33,611
You're also taking the exam?

15
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:34,737
Crap.

16
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:36,990
I look pretty lame right now.

17
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:39,492
Hey, are you all right?

18
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:41,536
-The school clinic…
-No need.

19
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:43,496
It's not as bad as it looks.

20
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,251
I'm sorry.
Can I borrow your shoulder for a…

21
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:50,128
Huh?

22
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,463
You're Yotasuke.

23
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:57,927
Are you all right?

24
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,388
Yes, I'm fine.

25
00:03:00,471 --> 00:03:02,974
If you feel sick,
let's go to the school clinic.

26
00:03:03,057 --> 00:03:04,475
I can take your luggage.

27
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:08,146
Can you stand up?

28
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:11,482
Let's go upstairs for now.

29
00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:22,327
If you can't stand it anymore,
just go to the school clinic.

30
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:23,411
See you.

31
00:03:26,331 --> 00:03:28,875
Why would she help you this much?

32
00:03:30,084 --> 00:03:31,878
So we're in the same room.

33
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:36,049
I feel so much pressure
to be in the same room as you.

34
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:39,802
Sorry for all the trouble.

35
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,555
I'll have to apologize to Kuwana later.

36
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:44,766
The room's open now.

37
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:46,517
She said it's open.

38
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:06,871
This is…

39
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:10,667
I'll hand out the assignment sheets.

40
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:14,087
DRAW ANYTHING IN THE ROOM
IN COMBINATION WITH THE MODEL

41
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:17,173
As expected,
the assignment is painting a model.

42
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,217
Calm down.

43
00:04:22,178 --> 00:04:23,680
All right. Please begin.

44
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,725
The first day of TUA's second exam.

45
00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:30,311
The subject…

46
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:37,402
is a nude model.

47
00:04:41,197 --> 00:04:43,574
Oba Sensei, it's been a while.

48
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:45,368
We're here to collect our stuff.

49
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:47,495
Hey, long time no see.

50
00:04:47,578 --> 00:04:50,248
All this stuff is heavy.
Can you handle it?

51
00:04:50,331 --> 00:04:51,791
-I'll take a car.
-Me too.

52
00:04:51,874 --> 00:04:53,251
I'll just roll up my sleeves.

53
00:04:55,044 --> 00:04:57,380
The second exam is today, right?

54
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:00,216
I'm so jealous.
I wish I could take it too.

55
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,012
What do you think the assignment is
this time, Oba Sensei?

56
00:05:06,597 --> 00:05:09,142
Either a plaster figure or a nude model.

57
00:05:09,225 --> 00:05:10,518
Why is that?

58
00:05:10,601 --> 00:05:14,397
The first exam's assignment was
a self-portrait. Very straight-forward.

59
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,815
I see.

60
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:20,653
Alas, Okada is going to Joshibi

61
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:23,072
while I'll stay in TAI this year.

62
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:28,036
I hope Yaguchi and the others
will work hard for our sake… It hurts!

63
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:29,162
What's that for?

64
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:33,041
Take responsibility for your own work.

65
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:36,502
It's the third time
Sakuraba took the exam.

66
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:37,420
Huh?

67
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:41,591
She wore uniforms instead of overalls
to save money.

68
00:05:42,091 --> 00:05:43,676
What will you do this year?

69
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:47,138
I'll work part-time for half a year
to save up money

70
00:05:47,805 --> 00:05:50,349
and attend TAI only in winter
and before the exams.

71
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:52,935
That was my plan.

72
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,522
I've decided that this will be
my last year attempting the exam.

73
00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:59,192
But you're so good.

74
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:04,072
Are you going to the bookstore
that will hire you full-time?

75
00:06:05,406 --> 00:06:07,617
I see. Good luck.

76
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,410
Come visit me whenever you want.

77
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:11,871
I'll lend you an easel in secret.

78
00:06:19,962 --> 00:06:23,299
The exams are physically draining.

79
00:06:24,425 --> 00:06:30,223
The hardships of the examinees who have
to worry about money are immeasurable.

80
00:06:31,182 --> 00:06:32,975
Even if they're not mentally exhausted,

81
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:35,478
some students collapse physically first.

82
00:06:36,729 --> 00:06:37,980
For these three days…

83
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:40,024
Just for these three days…

84
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:42,235
Please hang in there.

85
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:57,208
A nude model.

86
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,294
But this assignment…

87
00:07:02,296 --> 00:07:04,340
When you think about it,

88
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:07,635
this is quite a lucky assignment for me.

89
00:07:08,845 --> 00:07:11,305
It's my first time painting a nude model,

90
00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:15,143
but lately, I've been thinking
about nudity a lot.

91
00:07:15,852 --> 00:07:18,521
I thought that painting a nude model

92
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:21,232
would be a really arousing situation.

93
00:07:22,316 --> 00:07:25,945
But when I see her as a subject,
I get used to it so easily.

94
00:07:28,739 --> 00:07:29,740
Nudity…

95
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:31,742
Yes, nudity.

96
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,829
To look at your naked self

97
00:07:34,912 --> 00:07:36,789
and show it to people

98
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:38,916
is to accept who you really are.

99
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:42,044
Both the pretty and the ugly parts.

100
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,298
It's true, but…

101
00:07:45,381 --> 00:07:48,176
drawing my naked self
and someone else's naked body

102
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:50,261
is totally different.

103
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:55,057
Yuck.

104
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:57,560
The oil is starting to smell.

105
00:08:05,776 --> 00:08:06,736
Calm down.

106
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:09,906
The self-portrait of the first exam

107
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:12,950
was asking the examinees
to interpret themselves.

108
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:15,870
Which means this assignment

109
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:17,622
inquires the examinees

110
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:21,667
about their aesthetics, values,
philosophy, and everything.

111
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:27,173
Boy, I can't think straight.

112
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:32,428
Can I just interpret nudity as
a person's true colors?

113
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:35,097
It takes time for the oil to dry,

114
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:37,850
so I should just start to
put on the undercoat.

115
00:08:38,935 --> 00:08:41,187
What time is it now?

116
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:42,897
Damn.

117
00:08:43,397 --> 00:08:45,399
I can't open my eyes.

118
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:52,990
Crap.

119
00:08:53,491 --> 00:08:54,450
I fell asleep.

120
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:56,994
How ridiculous!

121
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:01,624
But my headache got a little better.

122
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:04,961
Three hours left
including the lunch break.

123
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:07,964
To start later than everyone else

124
00:09:09,298 --> 00:09:10,716
is something I'm used to.

125
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:15,471
Two hours left.

126
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:18,516
One hour left.

127
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:21,519
Thirty minutes remaining.

128
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:24,063
Five minutes remaining.

129
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:32,655
The first day is over.

130
00:09:33,489 --> 00:09:35,950
Please put your luggage in the locker.

131
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:38,995
TOKYO ART INSTITUTE

132
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,913
Really? I see.

133
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:42,915
Later then.

134
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:48,212
I'm exhausted.

135
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:50,673
Good work, you both.

136
00:09:51,173 --> 00:09:55,428
All right. To start with,
can you recreate your works here?

137
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,346
Let's discuss them.

138
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:58,472
That's fast.

139
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:04,812
A nude model, huh?

140
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:07,440
I did it my way as always.

141
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:10,901
I captured the movement of the model too.

142
00:10:12,361 --> 00:10:14,572
Just incorporate elements
only in that moment

143
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:15,906
and have fun with it.

144
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:19,660
I took into account
the nude poses of art history

145
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:22,079
to tackle the assignment.

146
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:26,709
Just don't make the movement too stiff
and have fun with it.

147
00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:28,919
That's all for today. See you.

148
00:10:29,003 --> 00:10:30,046
That's fast.

149
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:33,132
Oba Sensei.

150
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:35,968
Yaguchi didn't come, did he?

151
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:38,804
Don't worry. I got his call.

152
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:41,557
Just focus on yourselves for now.

153
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:45,353
Crap.

154
00:10:45,895 --> 00:10:48,105
I recovered for a bit,

155
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:51,317
but when I used
my eyes and brain to make art,

156
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,986
I quickly felt sick again.

157
00:10:55,821 --> 00:10:56,906
Yakkun?

158
00:10:57,573 --> 00:11:00,409
Your prep school instructor
is on the phone.

159
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,164
Hey, Yaguchi.

160
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:06,999
How do you feel?

161
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:10,336
My eyes hurt like hell.

162
00:11:10,419 --> 00:11:11,837
And my head too.

163
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,506
Also, the hives…

164
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:15,633
Boy, this is hilarious.

165
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:17,885
Why at this timing?

166
00:11:17,968 --> 00:11:19,887
Because it's this timing.

167
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:23,182
You probably got eyestrain
and stress symptoms.

168
00:11:23,265 --> 00:11:25,643
Still, too much damage on the first day.

169
00:11:25,726 --> 00:11:27,686
Yaguchi is just a new graduate.

170
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:28,813
He may not make it…

171
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:29,897
Oba Sensei.

172
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:34,318
I'm going with nudity as
a person's true colors for my theme.

173
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:36,654
But that's still not enough, right?

174
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,659
-Damn!
-Yaguchi.

175
00:11:41,742 --> 00:11:43,994
You're not giving up a bit!

176
00:11:44,078 --> 00:11:45,913
She's too loud.

177
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:50,418
Indeed, that could be a mediocre theme.

178
00:11:50,501 --> 00:11:54,505
Can you send me what you've painted
to the email address I'm about to say?

179
00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:56,924
NEW EMAIL FROM YATORA YAGUCHI

180
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,178
Your composition is good as expected.

181
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:03,764
But it's true that the theme is mediocre.

182
00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:06,559
That gives me a headache
in a different way.

183
00:12:07,643 --> 00:12:08,561
Yaguchi.

184
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:12,815
You want to try and use an advantage?

185
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,317
An advantage?

186
00:12:16,652 --> 00:12:19,071
IBUPROFEN
COOLING SHEETS

187
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:22,408
So this is the advantage that she meant.

188
00:12:26,787 --> 00:12:27,788
Yakkun.

189
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:29,415
How do you feel?

190
00:12:29,498 --> 00:12:31,834
I feel a lot better.

191
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,753
I wish I could be sick instead,

192
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:37,715
but you just have to get over it.

193
00:12:38,632 --> 00:12:40,843
Just don't push yourself too hard.

194
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:42,136
I'm fine.

195
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:43,304
See you later.

196
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,350
TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS
TESTING SITE

197
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:52,480
Good morning, Yotasuke.

198
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:54,648
Good morning.

199
00:12:55,691 --> 00:12:58,235
-Are you all right?
-I'm totally fine.

200
00:12:58,319 --> 00:12:59,862
I feel refreshed instead.

201
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:00,863
I see.

202
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:05,075
I only decided on the composition
and put on the undercoat yesterday.

203
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:08,662
For me,
the second exam truly starts today.

204
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:13,042
There are three major elements
in an artwork.

205
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:15,878
They are theme, composition,
and depiction.

206
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:19,048
I have only finished
the composition so far.

207
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:23,010
The second exam takes place
over three days at five hours each day.

208
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,680
I already wasted the first day,
so I only have ten hours left.

209
00:13:27,223 --> 00:13:30,392
I have to finalize the theme
before I take my seat.

210
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:32,061
Yaguchi, your arm.

211
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:36,148
I did it unconsciously.

212
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:40,027
Just pull through these two days.

213
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,366
After all this,

214
00:13:45,449 --> 00:13:47,368
I'll play Pokémon at home and sleep.

215
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:53,249
So you should push yourself today.

216
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:56,752
The room's open now.

217
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:10,808
To interpret nudity
as a person's true colors.

218
00:14:10,891 --> 00:14:13,143
That's a mediocre theme.

219
00:14:15,896 --> 00:14:17,147
To you, Yaguchi,

220
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:19,024
what do true colors mean?

221
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:20,401
Oba Sensei.

222
00:14:20,985 --> 00:14:22,570
It might be too plain,

223
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:25,072
but delving too deep into it
will take forever.

224
00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:28,576
I'm already behind everyone else.

225
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,120
Then that's your advantage.

226
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:34,832
Others have
already started painting, right?

227
00:14:34,915 --> 00:14:37,960
That means you can see their answers.

228
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,588
Just calm down before you start painting

229
00:14:40,671 --> 00:14:41,922
and look around.

230
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,220
It shouldn't be too late
to think of a theme then.

231
00:14:51,807 --> 00:14:54,727
Huh? Wait.

232
00:14:56,812 --> 00:14:59,732
They didn't make
as much progress as I thought.

233
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:03,027
The sketchbook…

234
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:06,488
Come to think of it, it's obvious.

235
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:10,826
On the first day, people mainly developed
their themes in the sketchbook

236
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:14,121
and put on the undercoat
for the oil painting to dry.

237
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,709
I can't see any developed ideas.

238
00:15:20,461 --> 00:15:23,213
No, there must be at least one person

239
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:26,133
who almost finished their work.

240
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:32,431
It's been a while

241
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:34,892
but Yotasuke is incredible.

242
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:36,769
But still,

243
00:15:37,353 --> 00:15:38,938
I made it to the second exam

244
00:15:39,021 --> 00:15:41,065
alongside this genius.

245
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:44,860
Take your seats.

246
00:15:45,861 --> 00:15:47,237
All right, begin.

247
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:49,281
It begins.

248
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:54,745
I wanted to proceed in the order of
theme, composition, and depiction,

249
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:57,915
but then, I'd risk running out of time.

250
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:03,754
Thus, I have no choice
but to finalize the theme while painting.

251
00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:09,385
So far, the theme is
"nudity represents true colors."

252
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,762
And the main focus
is undoubtedly the nude.

253
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,684
I want the nude to be the place
I like the most in this artwork.

254
00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:20,270
So how do I make it attractive then?

255
00:16:21,397 --> 00:16:24,775
In the first exam, I spent the whole time
increasing the intensity.

256
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:28,696
With enough intensity,
an artwork becomes attractive.

257
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:30,739
On the contrary,

258
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,283
without some intensity,
it won't have any appeal.

259
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:35,119
However,

260
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:37,496
I haven't even started my sketchbook.

261
00:16:37,579 --> 00:16:39,540
Do I have enough time for that?

262
00:16:41,417 --> 00:16:43,127
Now that I look at it closely,

263
00:16:43,210 --> 00:16:45,587
the model has very pretty skin.

264
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:48,215
When I looked at my naked body,

265
00:16:48,298 --> 00:16:51,051
it looked as pathetic as a thin eraser.

266
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:53,721
Everyone's skin is…

267
00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:57,558
Adding the paint to create intensity.

268
00:16:57,641 --> 00:17:00,310
But I don't have time
to do addition like that.

269
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:01,353
In that case…

270
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:13,198
I'll make the nude by subtraction.

271
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,618
This method could save a lot of time.

272
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,370
Moreover,

273
00:17:18,954 --> 00:17:22,416
using this method
to show the skin of the canvas,

274
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:25,377
I can also express that
"nudity represents true colors."

275
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:29,465
If I want the canvas
to look like human skin,

276
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:32,968
I need to create matte and flat walls
around the nude.

277
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:37,473
Then I'll enhance the intensity
for the front part of the nude.

278
00:17:38,474 --> 00:17:42,895
Add dammar varnish to make it shine
and create depth in the artwork.

279
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:46,607
Later, I have to develop
the parts besides the nude

280
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:49,943
and delve deeper into the theme.

281
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:52,821
It's lunch break now.

282
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,412
Finally, a break.

283
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:07,044
Your lunchbox is ridiculously large.

284
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:10,255
-It's you.
-I hadn't noticed that

285
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,049
we were on the same floor.

286
00:18:12,716 --> 00:18:13,801
Did you see Yaguchi?

287
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:16,720
I saw him in the morning,
but I didn't talk to him.

288
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:18,889
It's better that way.

289
00:18:18,972 --> 00:18:21,391
I don't feel like talking
during the exam either.

290
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,310
Scary.

291
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:26,188
You're too relaxed, Hashida.

292
00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:28,398
Especially for the second day.

293
00:18:28,899 --> 00:18:32,778
In these three days of the second exam,
normally, the progress would be

294
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:34,863
making the composition on the first day,

295
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:38,325
painting properly on the second,
and adding finishing touches on the third.

296
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:42,412
You can manage to make up
for lost time on the first day,

297
00:18:42,996 --> 00:18:47,459
but if you apply methods that require
the paint to dry on the last day,

298
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:50,587
there's the possibility of
making irreparable mistakes.

299
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:53,674
The second day is important as it is.

300
00:18:53,757 --> 00:18:56,927
Since Yaguchi lost his first day,
he has his back against the wall.

301
00:18:57,427 --> 00:18:59,763
You're worrying about Yatora.

302
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:01,932
In the end,

303
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:04,810
if he breaks down during the exam,
that's on him.

304
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,689
And my success
has nothing to do with his failure.

305
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:10,858
But,

306
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:13,443
I understand the pain of making art
all too well,

307
00:19:13,944 --> 00:19:16,613
so I'd never wish for him to fail.

308
00:19:22,911 --> 00:19:24,454
So awkward.

309
00:19:24,538 --> 00:19:27,249
But I feel like I shouldn't talk to him.

310
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,006
Yotasuke! Drink some tea!

311
00:19:35,090 --> 00:19:36,508
You don't have any?

312
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:46,018
-Thank you.
-Are you all right?

313
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:50,772
That reminds me…

314
00:19:52,357 --> 00:19:56,153
why did I mistake
Yotasuke for Mori at that time?

315
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:59,531
Is it the eyebrows?
The middle-parted hair?

316
00:19:59,615 --> 00:20:01,074
Or do they both have big eyes?

317
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:02,284
What?

318
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,287
Nothing. I was thinking that
the lunch break is almost over.

319
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:06,205
Right.

320
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,875
I miss Mori.

321
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:13,378
I haven't seen her since she graduated.

322
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:17,341
She consistently made art about prayer.

323
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:20,302
This assignment
wouldn't be a struggle for her.

324
00:20:20,385 --> 00:20:23,055
She would connect it with prayer.

325
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:25,474
If it's blue to you,

326
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:29,061
then let it be blue,
whether it's an apple or a rabbit.

327
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:36,026
Being naked, the freedom to decorate
our naked selves, and ugliness

328
00:20:36,109 --> 00:20:38,070
are all adorable, aren't they?

329
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:46,536
Perhaps it's different than
what Oba Sensei meant,

330
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,914
but I didn't look around enough.

331
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:53,335
Without seeing the others,
I was under the presumption

332
00:20:53,418 --> 00:20:56,463
that my true colors were
the same as everyone else's.

333
00:20:58,006 --> 00:21:00,884
I don't love nudity or clothes like Ryuji.

334
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:04,846
And I can't make art
about prayer like Mori.

335
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,725
My naked body is
as pathetic as a thin eraser.

336
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:10,435
I'm pathetic too.

337
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:13,939
I'm afraid of talking to people
if I don't arm myself with reasoning.

338
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:17,109
The answer was there from the start.

339
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:20,946
Nudity is pathetic and unreliable to me.

340
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:25,784
And wearing clothes is
a guilty act of trying to hide my nudity.

341
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:29,871
This painting is my world
seen through my eyes.

342
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:32,708
Why did I just realize that?

343
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:35,252
Isn't it so obvious?

344
00:21:35,335 --> 00:21:37,337
And it's no different than
a self-portrait.

345
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:39,381
It's such a pathetic answer.

346
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:41,466
But that's fine.

347
00:21:42,592 --> 00:21:45,012
Is that fine? Seriously?

348
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:46,972
Such a mediocre piece?

349
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,766
Come on. It's TUA's second exam.

350
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,478
If I can't stand out more than
I did in the first exam,

351
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:55,689
I won't be selected as
one of the 55 finalists.

352
00:21:56,356 --> 00:21:58,025
I just know I won't.

353
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:00,027
Then…

354
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:42,963
