I first learned of its existence when I saw the news about the UFO.
The topic of the news wasn't what caught my eye...
...but rather the scenery shown on the TV.
That house, which I knew only from that photograph.
That house, which looked exactly like the one in the photograph...
...was being shown on the screen.
I thought I'd use it as a lead.
I wanted to cling onto it.
I wanted to find my memories.
So I...
Kitto meguri awaseta... I'm sure it's just the whim of the angels...
...tenshi no hon no kimagure da yo. ...that brought us together.
Sanpomichi de fuita sunakaze... A dusty wind blowing along the promenade...
...kokoro ga hayatteku. ...makes my heart race.
Setsunasa hagurakasu no ni wa nareteru no ni, I'm used to evading my loneliness,
...konna toki dake namida ga tomerarenai no wa... ...so why is it that I can't stop the tears...
...naze darou? ...at times like this?
Aimai na kisetsu dakara koso... It's because the season is so ambiguous...
...kasuka na tezawari kokoro de kanjite. ...that I feel these faint stirrings in my heart.
Kagirareta toki o ikiru kara... The time in which we live is finite,
...tatanda tsubasa o ima sugu hirogete. ...so spread your folded wings right now.
Tatoe niji ga kowaretemo, Even if the rainbow breaks,
...sora wa matte iru. ...the sky will be waiting.
Please Twins!

Maiku Kamishiro
Hello, this is Maiku Kamishiro.
I'm not home right now.
If you want to leave a message, leave it after the beep.
Matters concerning programs are also accepted by fax or by e-mail.
Next stop, Inao.
The exit is the door furthest forward.
The second car to the rear of the train will not open its doors.
Please exit from the frontmost door.
He has eyes the same color as mine...
Help!
- No, I don't want to! Stop it! - Come on, don't make a big deal of it.
I'm being raped!
What are you doing?! Idiot!
My car!
You pervert!
Now arriving at Inao.
Please exit from the frontmost door.
The west beach exit?
You're almost there already That guy lied to you.
I think it was unfortunate for you, but I can't say I feel much pity for you.
What are you doing? It's not a school holiday.
Were you in the middle of finding yourself by hitchhiking?
No.
What, then?
It's something more desperate.
I see... I'm sorry.
The same color eyes...
Hey, you're right...
Are colored contact lenses popular these days?
I was born with these.
Same here.
Really?
You don't have to get so close.
That's not how I meant it.
I know. But still, I...
Oh, no!
I'm terribly sorry.
Kamishiro, this is the seventh time you've been late this month.
Don't you think that's a bit much?
There are a lot of things in my life.
I have a lot of things going on, too.
That's true.
Are you still not used to living alone?
It must be rather inconvenient.
That's not how I meant it...
All of my stuff has been unpacked,
...and my place is fit to live in now.
What about meals?
I'm getting by.
You're not eating out all the time, are you?
I know, how about I come by and make dinner for you?
No, that would make trouble for your husband.
In any case, I'll make sure to straighten things up starting tomorrow.
Kamishiro...
Excuse me, I'd better get to class.
By the way, did you know that commuting by scooter is against the school rules?
Senpai: term of address used for someone senior to you, such as an upperclassman. Senpai...
Senpai: term of address used for someone senior to you, such as an upperclassman.
If you're going to hide it, hide it where it's less likely to be found.
Please don't tell anyone.
S-Sure.
That helps me a lot.
I have a favor to ask you.
Figures...
You're a lifesaver.
And this is...?
The budget estimate paperwork for the extracurricular groups this term.
You can't mean...
Yep. Get right to work on it.
Don't you think it's a bit too nasty for this to be part of the deal?
How about me making you lunch each day for two weeks, then?
Or you can go out on a date with me.
D-Date?
Which will it be?
What do you mean, which?
I would like the lunches, please.
Got shot down, huh?
P-President!
So that's Maiku Kamishiro, the one you've been talking about?
A 10th grader with blue eyes. He is half-Japanese.
He goes to school, living alone off of what he earns as a programmer working from home.
Because his life centers around work,
...he has no particular girlfriend. End of report.
You know way too much!
Addendum. He commutes to school by scooter.
Please keep quiet about that...
Is that... love?
I-It's not like that!
He's a brilliant boy, right?
I thought he might make a great addition to the student council.
Could you stop that evil chuckle of yours?
Oh my, a Little Wonder!
Would you like a Perch?
You don't like them?
Yeah, yeah...
Hello, Kamishiro here.
Hello, this is Kikuchi from I & D.
Oh, hello. What's the matter?
I thought I had a bit of time before the deadline...
Is there a change in the specs or something?
It's really hard for me to say this, but the deadline, it's...
The deadline? When's it been changed to?
You're not going to say that it's the end of this week, are you?
That's it exactly.

- Talk about ruthless! - Please!
Kizaki High School Student Council - Talk about ruthless! - Please!
Kizaki High School Student Council
We signed an expensive contract for programming exclusively with us, right?
You're able to live on your own thanks to the money from that contract...
Fine, I'll do it.
I knew you would, Kamishiro! I love you!
That's one love that will never come to anything...
Damn it, they're always taking advantage of me...
What is it now?
Yeah, yeah...
Yes, what can I do for you?
You're...
Why are YOU here?
Why? Because this is my house.
You're kidding!
I'm not kidding.
Or rather, what do you want?
This must be fate!
Have you seen this photograph before?
Why do YOU have this?
I KNEW this would happen...
What? I don't understand you!
I really have one, and I really met him!
I can't believe this...
Wait, you're not saying...
I'm Miina Miyafuji!
I'm Maiku Kamishiro.
"Maiku"?
Yeah.
Nice to meet you!
I'm someone who's related to you by blood!
You and I are twins!
You're my twin? We're siblings?
Yup!
I hate pranks like that!
It's the truth! Open the door!
I have the same photograph.
Yeah. They told me that this was the only thing I had with me.
So that means...
Looking at this gender-wise, this is me...
...and the other one is me.
I see.
You understand?
Yeah, I understand.
But I'm not convinced.
Not with just this one photograph.
We have the same color eyes.
Well, yeah...
Assuming that's true for the moment, why bother coming here NOW?
Would you understand if I said the news that was on TV the year before last?
You mean... The one about the big UFO craze?
Yeah. The house I was born in that I've been searching my whole life for was shown in it.
I was finally able to save enough money, and here I am.
Same for me...
Um...
I can take a look around the house, right?
Yeah. There's nothing in it, but it can't hurt to look.
This house was a wreck when I came here.
The rent was really cheap thanks to that, though.
It took me two months to refurbish the entire house.
This is the room that I'm using right now.
Um...
What is it?
Mind if I look at the room over there, too?
Sure...
It's rather spacious! And it's nice and clean, too!
I don't have any furniture for it yet, but I'm planning on making this the guest room.
This might be good.
What's good?
W-Why are you putting your stuff here?
Just felt like it.
That looks rather heavy.
It's got all my stuff in it, that's why.
It's rather inconvenient for a boy to live alone, right?
Not really.
It's inconvenient, right?
Not really.
It IS inconvenient!
Don't make assumptions!
You know, I'm really good at cooking and cleaning and stuff...
I'm more reliable than I look.
I'm trying to appeal to you...
No matter what I say, you're planning on living in this house, right?
Right.
Why?
Why not?! We're family. We're twins!
I keep telling you that we don't know if that's true or not at all!
If you're going to say that, I can say the same thing.
I'm not sure whether or not you're a relative of mine!
There's no way for us to know.
I was abandoned right after I was born. My birth certificate was made after I was found.
My bio is completely made up!
I can basically say the same thing.
Then all the more reason why we CAN'T be living under one roof...
But there's one thing that I can say for sure.
This is MY house right now.
It's my house because I pay the money to rent this place.
But this is the house I was born in.
I feel the same way.
I have that photograph.
I spent my whole life looking at that photograph.
This is MY house...
If I'm a child of this house, I have a right to live here, don't I?
I'm sorry I'm asking for so much...
But I'm rather desperate...
I can see that you're good at cooking.
That still isn't enough to be the deciding factor?
I'm thinking about it.
Where did you live until now?
In an orphanage.
You were there all your life?
Someone had adopted me somewhere along the way.
But this and that happened...
Of course.
It's only natural for things to happen to you when your parents abandon you.
I had a lot of things happen to me, too.
But don't you think you're rather amazing considering that?
What's so amazing?
I mean, you're renting this house and everything.
Oh, that. I work as a programmer.
What? With computers?
Is it shady work? Porn?!
Idiot, it's legit. I studied my ass off for this job.
So that a kid like me could live on his own...
What am I going to do? Am I going to live with her?
This is all too surreal. I'm barely making enough to live alone...
But, if she really is my twin sister...
You know...
What?
I went ahead and bathed first, I hope you don't mind.
That's fine, but how you're dressed...
Oh, sorry!
But if you and I are really twins, I don't mind showing you...
Not even twins run around naked in front of each other.
Oh, maybe you're being conscious of me now?
You know...!
We really DO have the same eye color, after all...
Y-Yeah.
Let me stay here. Please.
Dammit... She's throwing my life out of whack.
She's already invading the place...
Would you like me to wash your back?
I'm fine!
Since you're letting me stay, I have to do something to earn my keep!
I didn't say I was going to let you stay!
Darn.
Geez, what IS she thinking?
Coming!
Idiot, don't answer the door without permission!
What do you think you're doing?
Oh no, you're soaking wet!
I don't care about that.
Listen, don't answer the door without permission!
Why not?
What happens if it's someone from school?
It would be a serious problem, you know!
What's the problem? We're twins.
And how are we going to prove that?!
We CAN!
S-Sorry...
It fell.
What fell?
The towel.
Stop staring at me!
I'll take care of this. You stay back there.
Don't drop your bath towel!
Shut up!
Who is it?
If you're selling newspaper subscriptions door to door, I'll have to turn you down.
I'll also turn away girls who barge in here, claiming that this is their home.
So I can't come in?
Um, I believe that this is my house...
W-Wait a minute, what are you talking about?!
Hey, don't open the door!
But...
Her eye color...
They're the same as ours...
Why do you...
U-Um...
This isn't what you think! Don't get the wrong idea!
Nyu...
- Nyu? - Nyu?
Nyu...
She collapsed!
Bring her into the house! I'll go spread out the futon!
Hey!
But before that... Where are your futons?
I'm telling you, listen to what other people have to say!
Miina Miyafuji.
Maiku Kamishiro.
Karen Onodera.
It was about to begin.
In our house...
Our summer.
Ano hoshi wa onaji matataki de... With the same twinkling, that star...
...kawarazu ni watashi wo mite. ...unchangingly watches over me.
Taikutsu na yume o nageki fuseta... It gently lit up the side of my face...
...yokogao o sotto terashiteta. ...as I smothered my grief with dull dreams.
Asu ni wa chiisa na nimotsu seoi, Tomorrow, I'll become the bird that flies off...
...kouya wo tobitatsu tori ni naru kara. ...into the wilds with a small parcel on its back.
Mukai kaze no naka (kao agereba)... If I look up into the wind in my face,
...mukau basho wa mada (haruka tookute). ...my destination is still far in the distance.
Itsuka tadoritsuku hoshi ni nareru. I can one day become a star that'll reach there.
Matsuge ni nijinda (afuresou na)... The tears running out my eyelashes...
...shizuku o nabikase (omoi nosete), ...flutter in the wind, carrying my feelings,
...kesshite owaranai tabi o tsuzuke ni yuku yo. ...as I go to continue my neverending journey.

Please Twins!
Two people are shown in this old photograph.
Please Twins! But there are three of us now.
One of us is a blood relative...
...and one of us is a stranger.
Even if that fact were to change...
...it is true that we are causing Mr. Maiku trouble.
But I don't have anywhere to go back to...
I don't have a place to go back to...
