Twilight Out of Focus S01E05
Season 1, Episode 5: "Echoes of Dusk"
Episode 5 picks up immediately after the cliffhanger from the previous episode. The powerful Twilight Shade lunges toward Ren, its dark, swirling form menacing and otherworldly. In a panic, Akira instinctively raises the camera with the special lens, snapping a photo. The camera’s flash momentarily stuns the shade, causing it to writhe and retreat into the shadows, but Akira knows this is only a temporary reprieve.
Ren, shaken but still composed, explains that some Twilight Shades are more dangerous than others, and the one they just encountered seems to be targeting him specifically. As they escape deeper into the Twilight Realm, the eerie environment becomes even more surreal. The ghostly version of Tokyo feels endless, and the line between the real world and this shadowy dimension continues to blur.
As they explore further, Akira starts to notice faint whispers carried by the wind—voices of people long forgotten. The sound is unsettling, and the sense of isolation weighs heavily on them both. Ren, unusually quiet, reveals more about his connection to the Twilight Realm. He explains that when he was younger, he experienced a traumatic event that caused him to become emotionally detached, making him susceptible to the Twilight Shades. They began to follow him, feeding off his loneliness and inner turmoil.
Akira, struck by the revelation, begins to understand why Ren hides behind his carefree and charismatic exterior. Beneath his vibrant personality, Ren carries a deep sadness, which has drawn the Twilight Shades to him for years. Akira feels a growing sense of empathy toward Ren, realizing that they’re both struggling with feelings of isolation, though they express it in different ways.
Their bond strengthens as Ren opens up more, but the moment is interrupted by the return of the menacing Twilight Shade from earlier, now more aggressive than ever. It seems to grow stronger the more they linger in the Twilight Realm, as if the realm itself is trying to keep them trapped. Desperate to escape, Akira once again uses his camera, but this time, the flash doesn’t work.
Ren tells Akira that the only way out is to confront the shade directly. Summoning his courage, Akira steps forward and attempts to communicate with the entity. As he speaks, the shade momentarily pauses, and its form flickers, revealing a face—someone familiar to Ren. It's a remnant of a person from Ren’s past, someone he has long tried to forget. This shocking revelation shakes Ren to his core, and he realizes that the Twilight Realm is not only inhabited by abstract shadows but also by echoes of unresolved emotions from his past.
The episode ends on a suspenseful note as the Twilight Shade, now with a human-like face, closes in on Ren. Akira, determined not to lose Ren to this realm, promises to help him face whatever is haunting him. But the question remains—can they escape the Twilight Realm, or will the echoes of Ren's past trap them th

Short filmTranscript
00:00Welcome all of you.
00:05If you are not able to decide which club to join,
00:09then join our film club without any delay.
00:15You can become whatever you want in this club.
00:19Tell me, when you were a kid, did you have any hero?
00:22Maybe some astronaut,
00:24some samurai,
00:26some magician,
00:28some detective,
00:30or some rock star.
00:32In reality, it is very difficult to become all these.
00:35But in the world of films, you can make your dreams come true.
00:40Yes, but it is also true that no one can make a film alone.
00:43You have to work with your friends.
00:45To make a film,
00:47you have to encourage each other and sometimes you have to argue too.
00:50So tell me all of you,
00:52would you like to fulfill your dreams with us?
01:00I'm biting the light of the evening.
01:03I told you to stop,
01:05but I'll try to bite it with my fingertips.
01:08I started at the edge of everyday life.
01:13A small film club at the edge of the wall.
01:18I couldn't spread my lines.
01:21They become an illusion.
01:24I re-watch the masterpiece I just made in a loop.
01:28I can't take my eyes off the beauty of life.
01:39Ah, that's how it is.
01:43You wave your hand to me.
01:49At this moment, we knew the end.
01:55Ah, I still can't figure it out.
02:01Ah, that's how it is.
02:05You wave your hand to me.
02:10At this moment, we knew the end.
02:14Even if I put down the camera,
02:17you were still there.
02:25We 3rd year students have made this video for the publicity of the film club.
02:30We will show this video in the student assembly,
02:32so that as many members as possible can join the film club.
02:35Every club tries to bring new members during the spring.
02:38Our club is also one of them.
02:40How can we be left behind?
02:422nd year students can help us to get new members.
02:45Okay, now I'll distribute the applications.
02:48Yes, give it to me.
02:50Make sure every student gets it.
02:52Will you please pass it?
02:54It's nonsense.
02:56You won't be able to convince a new student by showing such a useless video.
03:01What are you saying?
03:03I couldn't hear what you said.
03:06Will you repeat what you said?
03:082nd year student Ichi Kawagichi.
03:10I'll repeat it as many times as you want.
03:13You won't be able to convince a new student with such a useless recruiting video.
03:17What do you want to say?
03:19We 3rd year students have made this video with all our hearts.
03:21I think you didn't watch it carefully.
03:24We 3rd year students can only do this much.
03:26Do you guys have so much brains?
03:28Script, concept, direction, all the departments have done useless work.
03:32What did you say?
03:35You can become whatever you want in the film club.
03:38You can become a bell.
03:40Shut up.
03:42All the members do useless work.
03:44Only one person does what he wants, and that's you.
03:48Idiot.
03:51I see.
03:53Will you insult us 3rd year students by standing here?
03:57I'll never forgive you.
03:59Let him go.
04:01Idiot.
04:03I don't care.
04:05Who needs your forgiveness?
04:07Ichi Kawagichi, shut up.
04:09Is this how you talk to your seniors?
04:11Do you think you are Ichi Kawagichi?
04:13Shut up.
04:15And don't call me by my full name.
04:17Talk with respect, 2nd year student.
04:18If you talk too much, I'll show you your place.
04:21Stop fighting.
04:23I'll never forget this moment.
04:25All the noise went away.
04:27And as if time started moving slowly.
04:30And as if everything stopped.
04:33Our thoughts, our emotions.
04:36Slowly, slowly, slowly.
04:39As if they were shot at a speed of 960 frames per second.
04:43If the camera was running, this would have been a great shot.
04:49I'll definitely keep this in my next film.
04:59What are you doing, Ichi Kawagichi?
05:02How dare you?
05:04I should be asking you.
05:06All this happened in the beginning of the new school year.
05:10I was scared.
05:12I thought the Jinn and Ishikawa would kill each other.
05:15And this time, the Jinn was very angry, right?
05:18How many times have I told you not to pay attention to him?
05:21It's your fault that you got involved with him.
05:24And then they kissed.
05:26Like in BL.
05:28What is this BL?
05:30Don't you know BL?
05:32Boys Love.
05:34It's a love story of boys.
05:36Just like juniors express their love to you.
05:39Yes.
05:40Because the most famous boy in Midori village is a boy school.
05:44What's the use?
05:46Yes, I'm famous.
05:48I've always had a girlfriend.
05:51But she breaks up with me very soon.
05:54She likes me because of my face.
05:57But then she finds out that I'm not what she thinks I am.
06:01Yes, she must have found out that you're selfish.
06:04Yes, like right now.
06:06You want us to sympathize with you.
06:07You don't have anything but good looks and rich parents.
06:11And you're very boring.
06:13And you only think about yourself.
06:15You guys are not worthy of friendship.
06:17Oh yes, I remembered from BL.
06:19Ichikawa's crew is making a film on BL.
06:21Yes, I've heard.
06:23They think that if they make a separate film,
06:25the chances of winning the competition will increase.
06:27No.
06:29Ichikawa's style is right for a soft romantic film.
06:32And anyway, the gay love story will be interesting.
06:34If we don't work hard, we'll lose to the second year students.
06:38Yes, everyone in the school is talking about his film.
06:41They're curious about the film.
06:43And his hero is very handsome.
06:46Totally different.
06:48We must praise Ichikawa for himself.
06:50Because he's been doing a better job than last year.
06:53You guys don't worry.
06:55Forget about the second year students.
06:57We'll do our job as usual.
06:59Whatever happens, we'll just focus on our film.
07:01And we'll make a better film than the last three years.
07:04We have Ray's visual techniques.
07:06Suchiya's camera.
07:08Chiaki's brilliant direction.
07:10Rudy's excellent research.
07:12And all the club members who'll support me.
07:17Without them, we'll never be able to complete this film.
07:21And finally, the president, director, screenwriter and star.
07:26The sexiest boy in the school of Midori village.
07:29That is me, Kikuchi Hara Jinn.
07:32Look, if we work together, no one can defeat us.
07:36Yes, Jinn is absolutely right.
07:39We'll make a good film for the competition.
07:42Is this something to be proud of?
07:45The third year crew will shoot from next week as per the schedule.
07:49I'll give the details to the rest of the members.
07:52Yes, okay. Bye-bye.
07:54I'll meet you at the hostel.
07:56Yes, you'll meet there. Where else will you go?
07:59We'll meet soon.
08:01Ray, we should go now.
08:03Let's go to the hostel and make the rest of the arrangements.
08:06You're a liar, Jinn.
08:09I know very well that you're eyeing Ichikawa the most.
08:15This is nonsense.
08:17I told you that he's not our enemy.
08:19Maybe you think that you're hiding something from me.
08:22But I can see it clearly.
08:25Ever since Ichikawa has become a member, you've considered him your enemy.
08:28As if you know each other very well.
08:32I've never asked you about this before.
08:35But is there something between you and Ichikawa?
08:38Ray, listen. We've known each other for a long time.
08:41Ever since we were kids.
08:43You know my secrets that no one else knows.
08:47And I don't want to hide anything from you.
08:50So when the right time comes, I'll tell you everything.
08:54I understand.
08:55Whatever it is, you'll have to make a deal with Ichikawa.
09:00But why do I have to make a deal with him?
09:04Oh, stop it now.
09:07If this film is made, we'll leave this place.
09:11Then we'll have to choose someone from the second year for the president.
09:15And Ichikawa is the one who deserves it.
09:18To be honest, I feel the same way.
09:22Then make a deal.
09:23If you don't stop being his enemy,
09:26it'll have a bad effect on the rest of the students.
09:29I know that very well.
09:33Kikuchihara, I've heard that you don't have a roommate in your hostel.
09:38Yes, that's right.
09:40My roommate went to Canada for the Ice Hockey program during my first year.
09:44Since then, I've been living in a double room.
09:47Look, there's a second year student whose guardian has been taken to the hospital.
09:50He needs help.
09:53Maybe he used to live with his grandpa.
09:56But he had to undergo surgery.
09:58And he'll be in the hospital for a while.
10:00I don't think that boy will be able to live alone.
10:03So, you want to shift him to my room?
10:06Yes. You two are from different years, so you'll get along well.
10:10Okay, then. I'll take good care of him.
10:13Okay, then I'll ask him to shift today.
10:15What did you say?
10:16What did you say?
10:18If you had told me yesterday, I would've at least cleaned the room.
10:23I don't know if we'll get along or not.
10:26I'll have to maintain my image.
10:28I'll have to look happy as always.
10:30I'll have to make her feel that I'm a leader from outside but a soft hearted person from inside.
10:35I have to live like this even in the hostel.
10:39I have to hide my reality from everyone.
10:42Maybe that's why my friendship never lasts.
10:46And I end up being alone.
10:51Anyway, I can't let my reality come in front of me.
10:57It's just a matter of a few days.
11:06Sorry.
11:08Wait a minute. Why am I hiding? This is my room.
11:12What's wrong with me?
11:15I've changed it. You can come in.
11:18What do you mean? This is my room.
11:21Ichikawa Gichi, you?
11:26So that means Ichikawa will stay in your room.
11:29How do you know? All this happened yesterday.
11:32I heard it from a junior. Chiaki and the rest also know.
11:37Looks like everyone has to deal with juniors apart from me.
11:42What? Don't try to take care of Ichikawa. Leave her alone.
11:47Look, don't teach me now. I don't have time for all this.
11:52As you wish.
11:55Anyway, we're in our third year now.
11:58Do you think I'll have time for a second year idiot?
12:03We don't have time for club activities and studies.
12:07Come on, let's go.
12:09Okay.
12:12I've written some tips for the hostel. Take a look if you want.
12:16It'll come in handy if you want to stay here.
12:19See? You're taking care of her after all.
12:23So what? Do you want me to ignore her when she's right in front of me?
12:28What's this?
12:30Oh, nothing special. Just some tips on how to live in peace.
12:35No one will tell you.
12:37By the way, I have nothing to do with this.
12:40Ichikawa.
12:42I heard about your grandpa. It must have been tough.
12:46If you need any help, let me know. I'll do whatever I can.
12:50I hope he doesn't get mad at me.
12:53Because he doesn't seem to be one of the people to ask for help.
12:56Still, it's my duty as a senior.
13:01Thank you, Jin.
13:03Oh, he's talking to me nicely all of a sudden.
13:05Well, I can do this much.
13:08Here.
13:10This is our new friendship gift from me.
13:13But what is this?
13:15Gyoza cushion.
13:17It's the mascot of our family business.
13:19For you. Gyoza man.
13:21This is very cute.
13:23By the way, what's your family business?
13:25We have a butcher shop.
13:28Wait a minute.
13:30What's this?
13:32There's a pig inside this.
13:33Yes, it's made of pork filling. That's why.
13:37Yes, you're right.
13:39But this is so bad.
13:41You're right.
13:43This world is very bad.
13:45There's only one rule. Eat or be eaten.
13:47But this is the only way to understand the real meaning of life.
13:52You only care about yourself.
13:57This is so weird.
13:59Why am I feeling so good all of a sudden?
14:01I was thinking that he hates me.
14:04If that's the case,
14:06then it will be easier to make amends with him.
14:09Or am I mistaken?
14:12Scene 1. Camera rolling.
14:14Ready.
14:16Jin.
14:18Is there any tracker on your face?
14:20No, no. Everything is fine.
14:25He's staring at me with hatred and anger all over the world.
14:27He's staring at me.
14:29Stop it.
14:31What are you saying? Stop it.
14:33Wait a minute. Why is he doing this?
14:35Does he want to curse me?
14:37He can never change.
14:39Yesterday, he was talking to me with so much love.
14:41And today, he's doing this.
14:43Is he a second year student?
14:45He came to help us, so we thought he'd learn something.
14:47If there's a problem, should I ask him to leave?
14:49No, it's fine. Let's teach him a lesson.
14:52Attention, second year students.
14:54Learn something from us.
14:58Let's take it.
15:00This is a big scene in which a space android, Jerome, lands on Earth.
15:04Rolling.
15:06Ready.
15:08Action.
15:14Will he jump on me like a demon when I open the door?
15:23Oh, welcome home.
15:27He's so weird.
15:30He's always angry at school.
15:34But when we're in the room...
15:37There were snacks on the table outside.
15:39Eat it. Maybe someone brought it from home.
15:41Thank you so much.
15:43It's really good.
15:45It tastes like Kyushu.
15:47Have you ever been to Kyushu?
15:49No.
15:51His voice.
15:52His voice.
15:54There's so much peace in his voice.
15:56Why is Ichikawa so different outside and inside the room?
16:00What is he like in real life?
16:03Does he really hate me?
16:05Or not?
16:07So, how's everything going with Ichikawa?
16:11You can say for now that we're getting along.
16:15But when he comes on set, he's always angry.
16:18He just stares at everyone.
16:19Well, he's helping us.
16:23And he does a good job.
16:25I don't understand one thing.
16:27What do you guys talk about when you're alone?
16:29We're just getting to know each other.
16:31He always makes excuses for the delay in editing.
16:34I'm doing it.
16:36Don't lie. I'll send Mao right now.
16:41And I always laugh when I hear his excuses.
16:44I think you guys are getting along.
16:46I thought you two hated each other.
16:49But I didn't say that I hated him.
16:52But I don't understand.
16:54Why does he hate me so much?
16:56Then you should ask him.
16:58Why does he hate you so much?
17:05It would have been so nice if I could ask him.
17:08You're here?
17:10What happened? Why are you staring at me?
17:12Oh, nothing.
17:14What are you reading?
17:16BL manga.
17:17My younger sister sent me this.
17:20Oh, so this is BL.
17:22I want to read this too.
17:24Can you give me a book?
17:26What? Really?
17:28Can I read this?
17:30Wait, is this your first BL, Kikuchi Hara?
17:33Call me Kikuchi Hara, sir.
17:35Yes, this is the first one.
17:37This is a big responsibility.
17:39Wait a minute.
17:41How about the dirty one?
17:43What difference does it make?
17:44Give me anything.
17:46I just want to see how BL is.
17:48You can't read anything, idiot.
17:50The first one should be special.
17:52Maybe you should start with a classic romance.
17:54Or in which a boy calls a poor boy and falls in love with him.
17:59Yes, something like that.
18:01Wait, do you like sci-fi?
18:03Maybe a fantasy like Omegaverse will be fine.
18:06I don't know if I have brought it or not.
18:09I didn't understand anything you just said.
18:12Here it is. Read this.
18:14I thought very well.
18:16This is right for you.
18:18Look, Omega's face is also stained like a drop like you.
18:22So, aren't you happy with this?
18:24Tell me.
18:26One's position is top and the other's is bottom.
18:29You just have to remember this.
18:31You are coming too close.
18:33Will you keep staring at me like this all the time?
18:40Finally, they both became one.
18:42Isn't it?
18:44The lonely boy finally found a companion.
18:46This is called dramatic BL.
18:48Everyone is happy in this.
18:50That's why I can't stop reading BL.
18:52This is the story of getting lost in their love.
18:55And the story of going to any extent to get their love.
18:58They were made for each other.
19:00Always to support each other.
19:02To get lost in each other's love.
19:04And maybe this is how you get salvation in love.
19:06Yes, this is the way.
19:08They get salvation in each other's embrace.
19:09Their souls get purified and they get each other.
19:14Oh, this one has a part too.
19:19What happened?
19:21I thought you hated me, Ichikawa.
19:24But I like talking to you.
19:26What are you saying?
19:28I don't hate you.
19:30And you want me to believe you?
19:32You made my life miserable at the club.
19:35That's because your movies are rubbish.
19:37You won't change.
19:39We are in a film club, right?
19:41I am just talking about movies.
19:43I don't hate you.
19:45I don't know if I should be happy about this or not.
19:49But...
19:52I think you are always like this.
19:54But listen.
19:56My movies don't need to be called rubbish.
19:59If you don't like my work, you can come and talk to me.
20:02What? But I was just...
20:04Anyway, leave it.
20:05We are in the room right now, not in the club.
20:08You are right.
20:10So what was I saying?
20:12Wait a minute.
20:14I think I brought it. Let me see.
20:16Can I read this one too?
20:18Yes, fine.
20:20It's weird.
20:22I hope I didn't send my sister back.
20:24I don't want to talk about movies in our room.
20:27Because we don't have much time to spend together.
20:30So I don't want to lose her in a fight.
20:32And anyway...
20:34Oh! Oh shit!
20:36When Ichikawa doesn't talk about movies,
20:39I feel like he is...
20:45I got it!
20:47This one is special because it's even worse.
20:50And it's sexier than the first one.
20:52If it's sexy and bad, does it make it special?
20:54Bad means it's better.
20:56I like bad stories.
20:58Oh, is that so?
21:00Then maybe...
21:01Maybe I'll like it too.
21:04Am I right?
21:06You tell me, what do you like?
21:12The stories where a boy whines.
21:20That reminds me.
21:22We kissed once, didn't we?
21:25Yes.
21:31What is this?
21:33What kind of dream was this?
21:36When Ichikawa doesn't talk about movies,
21:39I feel like he is...
21:42Maybe...
21:44I'm starting to like him.
21:49Is this true?
22:01The secret I can't tell anyone.
22:04I can't count one or two of them.
22:07I'm wearing a nice kimono.
22:10I'm exhausted.
22:12Until I meet you.
22:15It's a moment of fate.
22:18It's like we're connected.
22:22If I whine, you'll hate me.
22:24That's a good boy.
22:26I want to touch you.
22:28That's the first time I heard you say that.
22:29It was like shit.
22:31More, more.
22:33I want to touch you.
22:35It's like there's gravity between you and me.
22:39I want to go, I want to go.
22:41I can't stand it.
22:43It's overflowing.
22:45It's all one chance, one chance.
22:47Only to you.
22:49I want to tell you everything about me.
22:51It's the first time I feel like this.
22:56So I don't forget.
22:57One take, one take with you.
23:00Burn it up.
23:02I don't want to waste every day.
23:04I don't need rules anymore.
23:09If we love each other in space, that's fine.
23:15I don't want to let go.
