00:00:26.590 --> 00:00:27.780
It's so icy cold!

00:00:27.830 --> 00:00:29.280
Waterfall!

00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:35.240
So icy cold!

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:44.390
No! Stop it!

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.070
Look at those cascades!

00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:47.360
Fantastic!

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:51.000
I've touched it for the first time!

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:52.280
I had ever touched it before.

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.000
You stupid liar! Liar! Liar!

00:00:54.050 --> 00:00:55.350
I had touched it in my dream, though.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:56.810
Stop it!

00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.470
Take it!

00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:13.100
No way, it's bad.

00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:15.040
- We should go back right now.
- Was it mom?

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:17.180
Ayumi!

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.030
It's about to start.
We should go back.

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.990
Here they come.

00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:31.890
What were you guys doing?

00:01:32.410 --> 00:01:34.110
It's already started.

00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.330
Misaki ...

00:01:43.330 --> 00:01:45.430
Misaki was 44, right?

00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:47.780
She died young.

00:01:49.390 --> 00:01:52.100
She hadn't been feeling well.

00:01:53.410 --> 00:01:55.400
It can't be helped.

00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:59.820
She was a great kid.

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.270
She had good grades, a real class act.

(Yawata-cho, Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture)

00:04:53.650 --> 00:04:54.560
Is it ...

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.850
your mom's last letter?

00:04:58.230 --> 00:04:59.140
Yes.

00:05:00.140 --> 00:05:01.410
(To Ayumi)

00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:03.210
I haven't ...

00:05:03.210 --> 00:05:05.110
looked yet.

00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.840
I'm afraid to open it.

00:05:21.870 --> 00:05:23.830
When did she take this photo?

00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:26.250
When she was a college student.

00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:30.100
We don't have any recent photos of her.

00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:33.960
They two really look so much alike.

00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:36.700
They're a mother and a daughter, though.

00:05:40.760 --> 00:05:42.390
It's like she was reincarnated.

00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:51.910
So much alike.

00:05:55.110 --> 00:05:56.090
Mom.

00:05:56.090 --> 00:05:57.090
Yes?

00:05:57.970 --> 00:06:02.610
Can I stay here for a few more days?

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:09.760
I can at least give Ayumi something
to talk about.

00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:12.210
Please, I'm begging you.

00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:16.280
Is that okay with you?

00:06:18.630 --> 00:06:19.770
I think it's okay.

00:06:20.070 --> 00:06:22.140
I'd like her to stay, too

00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:23.990
You would?

00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:28.760
It's settled then.

00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:32.730
Yay! Thank you!

00:06:33.330 --> 00:06:34.650
Grandma!

00:06:35.260 --> 00:06:36.250
Grandma! Grandma!

00:06:36.510 --> 00:06:37.500
Is that really okay?

00:06:37.730 --> 00:06:39.150
Grandma! Grandpa!

00:06:39.270 --> 00:06:41.270
I'm going to stay here!

00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:42.700
Grandma!

00:06:42.750 --> 00:06:44.270
I'm going to stay here for a few days.

00:06:44.410 --> 00:06:46.230
You are?

00:06:46.530 --> 00:06:48.290
That's nice, enjoy yourself here.

00:06:48.390 --> 00:06:49.210
Yay!

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:51.190
You can stay here until the
summer break ends.

00:06:51.340 --> 00:06:52.930
Mom, is that really okay?

00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:54.870
- Of course.
- Great!

00:06:54.900 --> 00:06:57.520
That's a blessing, the stupid bugger's gone.

00:06:57.910 --> 00:07:00.270
- Don't run.
- Don't come any closer.

00:07:00.670 --> 00:07:01.800
Take care.

00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:03.860
- Bye.
- Be a good boy.

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:07.830
Bye.

00:07:10.870 --> 00:07:12.270
Auntie, wait!

00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:15.900
This ...

00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:18.900
This came for my mom.

00:07:18.900 --> 00:07:19.970
I don't know what to do with it.

00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:22.060
It's an invitation to an alumni reunion.

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:24.430
Reunion?

00:07:25.900 --> 00:07:28.210
Nakatagai High School.

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.580
This brings back memories.

00:07:33.970 --> 00:07:36.990
Let me deal with it.

00:07:45.270 --> 00:07:46.210
Bye!

00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:49.250
Bye!

00:08:04.370 --> 00:08:06.110
(Izumi-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture)

00:08:34.900 --> 00:08:36.000
(Yuri: We're back)

00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:37.720
I'm back.

00:08:53.420 --> 00:08:54.710
Welcome back.

00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.270
How's your work? Any progress?

00:08:58.530 --> 00:09:00.900
Thanks to you, I might be able to make it.

00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:07.350
I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you.

00:09:08.060 --> 00:09:09.230
It's okay.

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.140
Soyoka's going to stay over at my parents'.

00:09:13.290 --> 00:09:14.530
She's going to be there for a few days.

00:09:14.650 --> 00:09:16.230
She said she wanted to be with
Ayumi for a while.

00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:19.640
She was the one who brought it up.

00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:20.790
She was?

00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.820
She's grown up all of a sudden
before we even know it.

00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:25.760
Seems so.

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.590
Spill the salt.

00:09:28.590 --> 00:09:29.590
Have you done it?

00:09:29.790 --> 00:09:31.570
Ah no, I forgot.

00:09:32.030 --> 00:09:34.170
Eito, come here for a minute.

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:40.350
If you don't do it outside,
the bad stuff will come in.

00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:41.410
- Is it?
- Yeah.

00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:42.570
Bad stuff?

00:09:42.690 --> 00:09:46.350
You know, phantoms, spirits, stuff like that.

00:09:46.430 --> 00:09:48.120
Stuff your dad is good at.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:49.530
Oh, you mean ghosts?

00:09:49.590 --> 00:09:51.570
- Yes.
- And monsters?

00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:52.860
Okay, let's do it.

00:09:56.290 --> 00:09:57.530
Sprinkle it on the chest first.

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.740
Then on the back.

00:10:03.800 --> 00:10:04.950
Heave, ho!

00:10:07.270 --> 00:10:08.440
It's not fair.

00:10:08.690 --> 00:10:11.150
You do this every day and
you're already a pro.

00:10:16.490 --> 00:10:17.680
It's so hot.

00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:20.880
I'm so tired.

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.730
Let's have a nice talk tomorrow.

00:10:23.770 --> 00:10:24.870
What's that?

00:10:26.290 --> 00:10:28.270
- All right.
- Great.

00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:34.460
Good night.

00:10:55.470 --> 00:10:57.550
Wow, this is quite a turnout.

00:10:58.110 --> 00:10:59.960
I did a lot of work to make them come.

00:11:00.030 --> 00:11:03.270
But, there were still lots of
people I couldn't reach.

00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:05.520
Do you remember Misaki?

00:11:05.790 --> 00:11:07.600
The student council president, Tono Misaki?

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:10.610
Yes, I have no idea where she is right now.

00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:12.150
Oh, really?

00:11:15.130 --> 00:11:16.430
Misaki!

00:11:16.470 --> 00:11:17.580
It's been a while.

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:19.580
We were just talking about you.

00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:21.590
I was so worried I couldn't reach you.

00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:24.570
This reunion won't be complete without you.

00:11:27.170 --> 00:11:28.290
No, you guys are wrong.

00:11:28.290 --> 00:11:29.290
We are not.

00:11:29.420 --> 00:11:30.790
You were the only goddess of our generation.

00:11:31.030 --> 00:11:33.460
There was no one but you.

00:11:33.810 --> 00:11:35.170
Come on, smile.

00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:00.850
So now, I will pass the mic
to the next speaker.

00:12:01.270 --> 00:12:07.480
She was the greatest goddess who
stole all the boys' hearts.

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:12.190
Tono Misaki.

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:35.930
Hi mates, it's been a long time.

00:12:38.170 --> 00:12:39.150
Hello.

00:12:43.190 --> 00:12:45.220
High school means a lot to me.

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.850
It was full of unforgettable memories.

00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:56.470
Being on a stage like this ...

00:12:58.330 --> 00:13:00.170
talking into a microphone ...

00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:04.500
standing in front of so many people,

00:13:06.270 --> 00:13:08.900
the first time I've done this again since high school.

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:15.300
So tonight ...

00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:20.300
I hope everyone here has a great time.

00:13:35.670 --> 00:13:37.570
What's wrong? Are you nervous?

00:13:37.910 --> 00:13:39.240
Sorry for the bad speech.

00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:50.110
Nakatagai High School built new
buildings three years ago.

00:13:50.390 --> 00:13:54.540
And the old ones will be demolished soon.

00:13:55.270 --> 00:13:58.230
So, I took some photos for me to archive.

00:13:58.550 --> 00:14:01.730
I will show a few of them to you.

00:14:11.550 --> 00:14:13.340
I have to go right now.

00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:14.890
Why so early?

00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:17.010
I live kind of far away.

00:14:17.270 --> 00:14:19.950
Thanks for having me.
See you next time.

00:14:20.410 --> 00:14:23.690
I had done some searching in all the closets.

00:14:24.010 --> 00:14:30.700
And found audiotapes of
your graduation ceremony.

00:14:31.410 --> 00:14:32.280
Okay.

00:14:33.090 --> 00:14:36.770
Let's have a listen.

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:42.910
<i>Today we celebrate our graduation day.</i>

00:14:44.070 --> 00:14:47.030
<i>High school was a very special time</i>

00:14:47.270 --> 00:14:49.490
<i>that will probably be lifelong
memories for all of us.</i>

00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:52.890
<i>It will be priceless memories for us.</i>

00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:58.290
<i>If you ask what my future
dream and goal are</i>

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:02.110
<i>I haven't come up with anything myself yet.</i>

00:15:02.870 --> 00:15:06.230
<i>Even so, that's fine.</i>

00:15:07.310 --> 00:15:10.930
<i>Because our future has
limitless possibilities.</i>

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.540
<i>We have countless options in our lives.</i>

00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:20.210
<i>Each and every one of our graduates here</i>

00:15:20.780 --> 00:15:24.150
<i>present and future</i>

00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:27.190
<i>will live their own unique lives.</i>

00:15:28.970 --> 00:15:31.450
<i>Some of us will live their dreams</i>

00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:35.010
<i>and some others might not.</i>

00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:38.540
<i>When you have a bad day</i>

00:15:38.540 --> 00:15:41.540
<i>when life gets hard</i>

00:15:41.540 --> 00:15:46.930
<i>we will always remember this place.</i>

00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:53.530
<i>The place where we had limitless
dreams and possibilities.</i>

00:15:54.610 --> 00:15:59.330
<i>The place where we were equals, prestigious,
and shone with great dignity.</i>

00:16:01.060 --> 00:16:04.750
<i>Graduate Student Representative, Tono Misaki.</i>

00:16:30.210 --> 00:16:31.580
Hi!

00:16:32.250 --> 00:16:33.690
Hi!

00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:36.650
Do you remember me?

00:16:37.510 --> 00:16:38.820
I do!

00:16:41.140 --> 00:16:42.160
Long time no see.

00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.160
How are you?

00:16:44.730 --> 00:16:46.490
Long time no see.

00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:54.830
I didn't get a chance to greet you earlier.

00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:57.160
That's why I came after you.

00:16:58.020 --> 00:17:00.430
I'm sorry, I didn't greet you either.

00:17:01.130 --> 00:17:01.930
That's okay.

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:08.750
I'd like to talk with you about something.

00:17:12.260 --> 00:17:15.090
Let's get a place to talk and
have some drinks there.

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.830
I can't, I should get going right now.

00:17:21.330 --> 00:17:22.600
I see.

00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:27.130
Then ...

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:32.570
Can I have your contact?

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:36.260
Okay.

00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:57.650
Done.

00:17:59.250 --> 00:18:00.530
Mama?

00:18:02.530 --> 00:18:04.110
You're a mom of two kids now?

00:18:05.370 --> 00:18:07.060
Yes, I'm sorry about that.

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:15.330
This is ...

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:19.810
my card.

00:18:24.280 --> 00:18:26.390
You are a novelist, cool!

00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:28.260
No, not cool at all.

00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:31.870
What kind of books do you write?

00:18:34.910 --> 00:18:37.130
That's a long story.

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:42.760
Why don't we have one sip of drinks?

00:18:42.760 --> 00:18:44.200
The bus is coming.

00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:48.210
Did you ...

00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:50.090
Did you read the novel?

00:18:52.030 --> 00:18:53.150
What novel?

00:18:54.270 --> 00:18:55.270
You forgot?

00:18:57.050 --> 00:18:58.270
What I forgot?

00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:01.090
I won't tell you.

00:19:01.830 --> 00:19:02.510
What's that?

00:19:02.510 --> 00:19:04.510
I'm curious.

00:19:06.110 --> 00:19:08.450
I'll tell you next time.

00:19:09.990 --> 00:19:11.190
See you.

00:19:37.910 --> 00:19:39.590
<i>I had a nice time today.</i>

00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:43.260
<i>If you're curious, don't bother to
contact me anytime.</i>

00:19:48.570 --> 00:19:49.990
<i>Okay.</i>

00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:59.250
<i>Would you believe me if
I tell you I still love you?</i>

00:20:02.580 --> 00:20:05.260
<i>Stop making fun of an old lady, please.</i>

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:27.240
I'm back.

00:20:32.470 --> 00:20:33.700
I'm back.

00:20:34.250 --> 00:20:35.470
Welcome back.

00:20:36.620 --> 00:20:38.510
Look at this mess.

00:20:38.510 --> 00:20:38.910
Eito.

00:20:40.110 --> 00:20:41.510
Get this over with.

00:20:42.950 --> 00:20:44.990
Don't give me that response.

00:20:47.170 --> 00:20:48.250
I'm back.

00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:50.110
You are back.

00:20:50.670 --> 00:20:51.640
How was it?

00:20:52.590 --> 00:20:54.200
That was such a big deal.

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:56.410
They thought I was my sister.

00:20:57.560 --> 00:20:58.210
Why?

00:20:58.560 --> 00:21:01.110
It's been 25 years, hasn't it?

00:21:01.410 --> 00:21:04.410
I don't think there's any trace
of high school left.

00:21:05.050 --> 00:21:06.670
Everyone's all grown old.

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:08.870
Some have gone bald, gotten fat.

00:21:08.990 --> 00:21:11.770
Got a lot of makeup on and some
even had plastic surgery.

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:14.970
But did you tell them about your sister?

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.680
I didn't have the chance.

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:21.280
I was forced to make a speech
right after I arrived.

00:21:21.550 --> 00:21:24.120
So, I pretended to be my sister.

00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:26.600
Then what's the point of
attending that event?

00:21:27.610 --> 00:21:30.730
I know, you don't have to tell me.

00:21:54.690 --> 00:21:56.300
(Otosaka Kyoshiro: I've been in love with you for 25 years)

00:21:58.730 --> 00:22:00.070
What's going on? Are you okay?

00:22:00.070 --> 00:22:03.210
(Otosaka Kyoshiro: I've been in love with you for 25 years)

00:22:04.550 --> 00:22:06.320
I'm okay.

00:22:12.690 --> 00:22:13.510
What's wrong?

00:22:13.830 --> 00:22:15.240
Can you explain this to me?

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:16.340
What is it?

00:22:16.410 --> 00:22:18.750
The man named Otosaka, who the hell is he?

00:22:19.780 --> 00:22:21.140
He was my senior.

00:22:21.290 --> 00:22:23.430
“I've been in love with you for 25 years.”

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:24.060
What the hell is this?

00:22:24.060 --> 00:22:26.970
Didn't I tell you they've mistaken
me for my sister?

00:22:27.010 --> 00:22:28.460
Why didn't you explain it to them?

00:22:28.550 --> 00:22:31.060
I said I didn't get any chance.

00:22:31.230 --> 00:22:33.690
What chance?

00:22:34.170 --> 00:22:35.170
What kind of chat is this?

00:22:35.320 --> 00:22:37.120
“Stop making fun of an old lady, please.”

00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:39.540
Don't read it out loud.

00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:43.440
No cell phones!

00:22:48.780 --> 00:22:52.550
What should I do?

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:55.550
Eito, go to bed!

00:22:58.490 --> 00:23:00.590
(Dad broke mom's phone)

00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:05.750
What's wrong?

00:23:06.580 --> 00:23:08.350
My parents are fighting.

00:23:13.510 --> 00:23:16.750
<i>Dear Otosaka Kyoshiro.</i>

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:19.950
<i>Did you send me any messages since then?</i>

00:23:20.830 --> 00:23:25.210
<i>My husband has misunderstood us.</i>

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:28.280
<i>He broke my phone.</i>

00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:31.590
<i>If you sent me any messages</i>

00:23:31.790 --> 00:23:34.960
<i>I'm really sorry, I couldn't read it.</i>

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.410
(Kamiochiai, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
To: Otosaka Kyoshiro)

00:23:36.410 --> 00:23:38.510
<i>I just wanted to tell you that.</i>

00:23:39.510 --> 00:23:43.030
(Kamiochiai, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo)

00:23:43.030 --> 00:23:45.680
<i>I'm sorry for the one-way latter.</i>

00:23:46.110 --> 00:23:47.490
<i>You don't have to write back.</i>

00:23:53.390 --> 00:23:56.510
<i>I was writing this letter without
putting the return address.</i>

00:23:56.510 --> 00:23:58.010
<i> I'm sorry.</i>

00:23:59.390 --> 00:24:02.010
(Tono Misaki)

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:10.320
<i>The novel you mentioned last time,
what is it about?</i>

00:24:10.540 --> 00:24:12.200
<i>I really can't remember.</i>

00:24:13.010 --> 00:24:15.640
<i>You have to tell me the next time we meet.</i>

00:24:16.150 --> 00:24:18.550
<i>And please forgive my poor writing.</i>

00:24:19.210 --> 00:24:21.840
<i>Take care, see you soon.</i>

00:24:22.850 --> 00:24:24.070
<i>Tono Misaki.</i>

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:27.730
I've done something bad, haven't I?

00:24:34.310 --> 00:24:35.130
I'm bacー

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:37.190
Why there are dogs here?

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:38.880
They are cute, aren't they?

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:41.330
No, that's not what I mean.

00:24:41.330 --> 00:24:42.430
Why you brought them in?

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:45.990
I'm going to draw a comic about dogs next.

00:24:47.730 --> 00:24:50.100
So, I bought dogs for the source material.

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:52.550
You bought two dogs just for source material?

00:24:52.770 --> 00:24:53.510
Yes.

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:56.590
Who's gonna take care of them, anyway?

00:24:58.870 --> 00:24:59.740
You're gonna do it.

00:25:01.150 --> 00:25:02.630
Ayumi!

00:25:02.630 --> 00:25:04.950
Ayumi! Ayumi! They got dogs!

00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:06.670
They got dogs! Take a look at them!

00:25:07.250 --> 00:25:08.110
Take a look at these dogs.

00:25:12.290 --> 00:25:13.290
They are so cute.

00:25:13.290 --> 00:25:15.150
I didn't know such a big dog actually existed.

00:25:19.930 --> 00:25:20.820
Sensei!

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.070
I've written it up this far, could you
please check it out?

00:25:26.130 --> 00:25:26.640
Okay.

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.150
(Tono Misaki)

00:25:37.070 --> 00:25:39.530
<i>Dear Otosaka Kyoshiro.</i>

00:25:40.190 --> 00:25:42.880
<i>My husband brought home two big dogs.</i>

00:25:43.750 --> 00:25:47.620
<i>He wanted me to take care of them.</i>

00:25:49.070 --> 00:25:50.710
<i>That's probably a punishment.</i>

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:54.670
<i>Although I'm not blaming you</i>

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:57.330
<i>I just thought you should know.</i>

00:25:58.600 --> 00:26:01.680
<i>I'm sorry, I might not be able to
write you any more letters.</i>

00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:04.800
<i>Please consider this letter as
if you didn't receive it.</i>

00:26:13.560 --> 00:26:14.690
You okay, mom?

00:26:14.690 --> 00:26:16.860
Just give me a second.

00:26:19.010 --> 00:26:20.190
Mom, hurry up!

00:26:24.130 --> 00:26:24.840
Hello.

00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:26.170
<i>It's Akiko.</i>

00:26:26.170 --> 00:26:27.990
Ah, It's you, mom.
I will open the door right now.

00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:29.600
Grandma's here.

00:26:31.410 --> 00:26:32.740
I'm coming in.

00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:34.030
Welcome.

00:26:34.030 --> 00:26:35.150
It's really hot today.

00:26:35.150 --> 00:26:35.940
It is.

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.990
Grandma, what brings you here?

00:26:37.550 --> 00:26:40.430
I had business nearby.

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:42.770
Ah, Eito.

00:26:43.330 --> 00:26:45.020
You've grown taller, haven't you?

00:26:45.020 --> 00:26:47.270
It's been a while since the last
time we met, please come in.

00:26:47.270 --> 00:26:48.550
Thank you for having me.

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.190
Where's Soujiro? He's upstairs?

00:26:51.190 --> 00:26:51.760
Yes.

00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:53.970
Hurry, tidy up your stuff.

00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:56.660
Excuse me.

00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:00.760
Why there are dogs here?

00:27:00.760 --> 00:27:02.050
Dad bought them.

00:27:02.050 --> 00:27:03.800
This is Boru, and this is Zoe.

00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:04.400
Wait a minute.

00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.560
I'll get them out of here.

00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:06.940
It's okay.

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:08.620
They're coming over here, scary, scary.

00:27:08.620 --> 00:27:10.180
It's gonna hurt their necks if you
tighten the leashes up.

00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:12.040
One moment, please.
Excuse me.

00:27:12.040 --> 00:27:13.250
Come on.

00:27:13.790 --> 00:27:14.630
This way.

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:16.170
This way.

00:27:18.070 --> 00:27:20.220
Honey, your mom's here.

00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:23.680
I bought you guys presents.

00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:28.040
This is yours and this is Soyoka's.

00:27:28.040 --> 00:27:29.520
Where is Soyoka?

00:27:30.060 --> 00:27:32.200
She's currently staying at my parents'.

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:33.290
Ah, I see.

00:27:33.290 --> 00:27:34.550
Then let's all eat this together.

00:27:34.550 --> 00:27:35.500
Thank you so much.

00:27:39.210 --> 00:27:40.170
Eito!

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:46.910
What brings you here today?

00:27:46.910 --> 00:27:48.810
I attended an alumni reunion nearby.

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:50.140
Alumni reunion?

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:51.730
Yeah, a high school reunion.

00:27:52.450 --> 00:27:55.980
Yuri also attended a high school reunion
a couple of days ago.

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:56.890
Was she?

00:27:59.320 --> 00:28:01.470
Did you meet your first love?

00:28:02.530 --> 00:28:04.420
No, I didn't, there was no such person.

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.970
What about you?

00:28:09.320 --> 00:28:11.660
Did you meet your first love?

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.540
What are you talking about?

00:28:14.040 --> 00:28:15.970
Re-un-ion.

00:28:16.970 --> 00:28:18.320
No, I didn't.

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.890
Mom.

00:28:25.890 --> 00:28:26.890
Yes?

00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:29.390
I'd love you to stay here.

00:28:29.390 --> 00:28:31.850
You can stay here for a week if you want.

00:28:33.030 --> 00:28:36.030
I'll take you up on your offer if you say so.

00:28:46.510 --> 00:28:47.740
It's such a big dog, isn't it?

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.560
You can call it, Zoe.

00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:50.380
I'll get it.

00:28:51.050 --> 00:28:52.120
I'm home.

00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:52.600
Such a big dog!

00:28:57.030 --> 00:28:59.140
There's one more at home.

00:29:01.590 --> 00:29:02.350
Wait.

00:29:03.290 --> 00:29:05.120
How long do you want me to take care of it?

00:29:05.930 --> 00:29:07.120
Um ...

00:29:09.970 --> 00:29:11.500
It's not going to stay here forever, is it?

00:29:12.410 --> 00:29:13.820
Um ...

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.030
You really brought it here because you want me
to take care of it forever, don't you?

00:29:18.040 --> 00:29:19.850
I just can't!

00:29:19.850 --> 00:29:22.420
I've already got my hands full here.

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:24.530
What am I supposed to do?

00:29:24.530 --> 00:29:26.680
Nothing came to my mind expect to take them
to the Animal Health Care Center.

00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.300
I'll look after the dog.

00:29:28.810 --> 00:29:29.950
Will you?

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:31.760
I'll help, too.

00:29:32.420 --> 00:29:33.470
Soyoka!

00:29:33.990 --> 00:29:36.910
You're going home after the summer
break ends, aren't you?

<i>Dear Otosaka Kyoshiro.</i>

00:29:41.490 --> 00:29:43.560
<i>Since I went back to my hometown</i>

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:46.130
<i>I made a quick visit to our high school.</i>

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.750
Go run!

00:29:49.390 --> 00:29:51.180
It doesn't even look like you're running.

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:52.550
Soyoka, over here.

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:56.220
Run! Run!

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.140
All right, let's go.

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.730
Let's go.

00:30:07.850 --> 00:30:09.630
Lots of fallen leaves to step on.

00:30:19.190 --> 00:30:21.810
It doesn't feel like it's changed at all.

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.940
Take some photos of me.

00:30:25.890 --> 00:30:28.620
<i>As I was walking around the grounds
and the school buildings</i>

00:30:28.620 --> 00:30:30.540
<i>I remembered all sorts of memories.</i>

00:30:32.760 --> 00:30:34.030
We'll be going first.

00:30:34.030 --> 00:30:35.300
Thanks for today.

00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:37.540

00:31:10.850 --> 00:31:12.670

Where's Grandma?

00:31:58.350 --> 00:31:59.220
She went out.

00:31:59.650 --> 00:32:00.260
Where?

00:32:00.260 --> 00:32:01.330
I don't know.

00:32:01.330 --> 00:32:04.250
You must not let her go out alone.

00:32:04.250 --> 00:32:06.170
She will be okay, she's not a kid anymore.

00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:10.530
She's an older adult, so things tend to
get a little hazy, don't they?

00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:12.370
You mean she has Alzheimer's?

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:14.250
That's not what I mean.

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:17.490
Where does she go?

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:21.470
Shall we go look for her together?

00:32:23.080 --> 00:32:25.060
Sheepdogs are more reliable, though.

00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:27.220
Even so, you'll have to train them.

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:29.610
It's so hot, I can't stand it any longer.

00:32:29.610 --> 00:32:31.560
My feet are swollen.

00:32:33.730 --> 00:32:35.590
She's here, found her!

00:32:36.570 --> 00:32:38.780
So, your son is a cartoonist?

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.560
He is.

00:32:41.070 --> 00:32:43.830
Bravo, Boru! Great job!

00:32:44.750 --> 00:32:45.790
How much should I put in?

00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.800
It's amazing, I had no idea that
old people fall in love.

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.090
So, that's what it's called love in
the time of twilight, isn't it?

00:32:53.300 --> 00:32:54.630
What?

00:32:55.070 --> 00:32:55.880
What's love in twilight?

00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:56.540
Love in the time of twilight isー

00:32:56.540 --> 00:32:57.750
Nothing happens between them.

00:32:58.120 --> 00:32:59.660
They might be just friends.

00:33:00.430 --> 00:33:01.150
They're coming.

00:33:01.150 --> 00:33:01.720
They're coming.

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.300
Get back, hide!

00:33:03.540 --> 00:33:06.270
You know, those spirits and stuff

00:33:06.350 --> 00:33:08.440
I'm not supposed to feel it

00:33:08.730 --> 00:33:11.440
but I still can feel it somehow.

00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:17.750
Wait!

00:33:17.750 --> 00:33:19.190
This is bad!

00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:28.830
Some of the maple's leaves turn red
so fast this time, don't they?

00:33:28.830 --> 00:33:29.760
That's nice.

00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:31.120
They all will be completely turned
red this December.

00:33:38.230 --> 00:33:39.260
Shall we sneak up behind them?

00:33:39.260 --> 00:33:40.710
We shall not.

00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:42.780
You guys stay right here.

00:33:42.780 --> 00:33:45.540
We shall visit the shrine instead.

00:33:45.540 --> 00:33:46.750
Eito, take care of Boru for a second.

00:33:47.350 --> 00:33:47.810
Hold it.

00:33:47.810 --> 00:33:48.340
No way.

00:33:48.340 --> 00:33:48.960
Here you go.

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.630
Why do we have to worship now?

00:33:50.630 --> 00:33:53.720
Because we already are at the shrine.

00:33:54.070 --> 00:33:55.840
Is this what they call an adult's concern?

00:33:55.840 --> 00:33:57.590
All right, come on.
Here's my share.

00:33:57.590 --> 00:33:58.580
All right, go inside the shrine.

00:34:00.530 --> 00:34:01.750
We're not following you!

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:03.410
Let's go, Boru.

00:34:09.080 --> 00:34:09.870
Let's go.

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.360
It's such a hell of a hill.

00:34:31.810 --> 00:34:32.900
Where are we now?

00:34:34.150 --> 00:34:35.520
Let's rush in and do a
surprise inspection.

00:34:35.520 --> 00:34:36.560
Let's do it!

00:34:36.560 --> 00:34:38.160
No, don't do that!

00:34:46.330 --> 00:34:47.910
Let's see what's in the mailbox.

00:34:52.020 --> 00:34:53.820
There's a letter for my mom.

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:55.850
Who sent it?

00:34:59.600 --> 00:35:01.870
Absolutely nothing happens.

00:35:01.870 --> 00:35:04.060
Zero chance of any case.

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.310
Shall we go back?

00:35:05.310 --> 00:35:06.290
Yeah, let's go back.

00:35:06.290 --> 00:35:07.170
Let's go back.

00:35:08.600 --> 00:35:09.100
So boring.

00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:10.600
Eito, let's go playing games instead.

00:35:11.260 --> 00:35:12.350
Come on, Boru.

00:35:21.910 --> 00:35:24.150
Wait up!

00:35:25.430 --> 00:35:27.240
Go get something to drink.

00:35:27.620 --> 00:35:29.200
It's hot as hell.
We need to stay hydrated.

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:31.230
Don't buy anything extra, okay?

00:35:31.230 --> 00:35:32.010
Okay.

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.770
Don't tell anyone what we saw today, okay?

00:35:36.170 --> 00:35:37.280
It's hush money, isn't it?

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.100
It's not, why do you always get it wrong?

00:35:39.530 --> 00:35:40.970
All right, be safe.

00:35:41.730 --> 00:35:43.290
I know, it's hush money.

00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:47.530
Hush money!

00:36:02.510 --> 00:36:03.490
Yes, okay.

00:36:05.510 --> 00:36:07.240
Mom, are you okay?

00:36:07.330 --> 00:36:09.120
It hurts.

00:36:11.580 --> 00:36:12.640
You know her?

00:36:12.640 --> 00:36:14.310
I'm her daughter.
Ah, no.

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:15.550
I'm her daughter-in-law.

00:36:15.830 --> 00:36:16.850
Daughter-in-law?

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.960
Please take care of the rest.

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:21.440
Take this with you.

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.530
All right, go with them.

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.850
Mrs. Kishibeno, please come in.

00:36:29.850 --> 00:36:30.330
Okay.

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.580
Please come in.

00:36:35.580 --> 00:36:36.000
Have a seat.

00:36:40.040 --> 00:36:42.790
She has a lumbar disc disease.

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:44.990
Well, that's what they call a sprained back.

00:36:45.830 --> 00:36:46.580
Sprained back?

00:36:46.580 --> 00:36:46.970
Yeah.

00:36:49.200 --> 00:36:51.750
That's a relief!

00:36:52.160 --> 00:36:53.990
She looked like she was in so much pain.

00:36:54.620 --> 00:36:56.790
I thought it was something serious.

00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:58.090
It's gonna hurt for a while, though.

Has he been writing to the dead?

00:37:30.990 --> 00:37:33.400
He says the death of your mom is his fault.

00:37:35.970 --> 00:37:37.180
Does it mean he killed your mom?

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:41.300
But he's making it out as if it's nothing.

Who is he?

Does he not know your mom
has passed away?

00:38:09.560 --> 00:38:11.020
Why don't we ask my mom?

00:38:11.550 --> 00:38:13.510
No, hold on.

00:38:13.510 --> 00:38:15.200
Don't you think it will be boring
and meaningless?

00:38:18.700 --> 00:38:20.330
Why don't we write back?

00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:23.360
That's exactly what I was
just thinking about.

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:24.370
- Is it?
- Yeah!

00:38:24.370 --> 00:38:25.620
Let's write it!

00:38:25.620 --> 00:38:26.510
What to write?

00:38:27.380 --> 00:38:28.540
Grandma!

00:38:30.150 --> 00:38:32.430
Do you have any letterhead?

00:38:32.430 --> 00:38:33.030
What is it?

00:38:33.030 --> 00:38:33.900
Letterhead.

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:36.900
Letterhead? Let me check it.

00:38:44.650 --> 00:38:45.970
Are you Otosaka?

00:38:45.970 --> 00:38:46.710
Yes.

00:38:46.710 --> 00:38:47.540
You have one more letter here.

00:38:48.980 --> 00:38:49.550

<i>You can send me any
letters to this address.</i>

00:39:10.070 --> 00:39:11.090
<i>Tono Misaki.</i>

00:39:18.590 --> 00:39:20.280
He sent us a letter!

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:21.670
We've got a reply!

00:39:22.950 --> 00:39:25.510
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:39:27.370 --> 00:39:30.400
<i>How much I remember about you</i>

00:39:31.250 --> 00:39:34.550
<i>as clearly as yesterday.</i>

00:39:35.180 --> 00:39:40.180
<i>More precisely, I remember it
clearer than yesterday.</i>

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:47.590
<i>I had been transferred to that school
in June of my senior year.</i>

00:39:49.070 --> 00:39:51.850
<i>And I was there for less than a year, but</i>

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:56.150
<i>those days are memories
I will never forget.</i>

00:39:56.420 --> 00:39:58.590
Students, I'd like to introduce
someone to you.

00:39:58.590 --> 00:40:01.580
We've got a new classmate today.

00:40:01.580 --> 00:40:03.490
This is Otosaka Kyoshiro.

00:40:05.750 --> 00:40:07.650
I'm Otosaka Kyoshiro.

00:40:07.650 --> 00:40:08.570
I hope we can become friends.

00:40:14.910 --> 00:40:17.820
Let's see, your seat is over there.

00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:20.060
Okay.

00:40:25.070 --> 00:40:28.220
<i>My seat was at the back next to the window.</i>

00:40:29.100 --> 00:40:31.950
<i>It was away from the other boys</i>

00:40:31.950 --> 00:40:33.490
<i>and behind the girls.</i>

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.430
<i>It was really an awkward place to be.</i>

00:40:40.850 --> 00:40:41.980
<i>At that desperate situation</i>

00:40:42.460 --> 00:40:45.690
<i>Yaegashi, the boy closest to my seat
asked me to join him.</i>

00:40:46.290 --> 00:40:48.720
<i>He asked me to join the biology club.</i>

00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:49.910
Thanks for having me.

00:40:54.410 --> 00:40:56.860
Tono, introduce yourself to the new member.

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:58.840
Hello, I'm Tono.

00:40:59.970 --> 00:41:02.210
This is the newest member of
the club, Otosaka Kyoshiro.

00:41:03.450 --> 00:41:04.180
I'm Otosaka.

00:41:05.590 --> 00:41:06.730
I'm Tono Yuri.

00:41:09.750 --> 00:41:12.800
<i>That was the first time I met Yuri.</i>

00:41:21.200 --> 00:41:23.530
<i>Dear Otosaka Kyoshiro.</i>

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:27.720
<i>My mother-in-law's suddenly got a sprained back.</i>

00:41:29.010 --> 00:41:32.850
<i>She was rushed to the hospital by an
ambulance from her boyfriend's house.</i>

00:41:34.850 --> 00:41:39.050
<i>She didn't ever mention that man.</i>

00:41:39.050 --> 00:41:40.830
<i>So, I've never asked her anything.</i>

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:42.520
<i>It was super awkward.</i>

00:41:42.520 --> 00:41:43.700
Do you want something?

00:41:45.160 --> 00:41:45.850
I'm okay.

00:41:49.050 --> 00:41:50.470
Hold on a second.

00:41:52.330 --> 00:41:53.760
Ouch, ouch.

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:58.270
Can you mail this letter for me?

00:41:58.850 --> 00:41:59.920
Ouch, it hurts.

00:42:02.270 --> 00:42:03.120
Leave it to me.

00:42:07.510 --> 00:42:11.770
<i>Since she can't move, she asked
me to mail her letter.</i>

00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.110
<i>It must be a love letter.</i>

00:42:14.980 --> 00:42:17.390
<i>Older adults use letters to
communicate, don't they?</i>

00:42:18.010 --> 00:42:20.900
<i>I'm getting used to writing letters, too.</i>

00:42:22.870 --> 00:42:24.590
<i>It's all thanks to you.</i>

00:42:32.420 --> 00:42:33.150
Hello.

00:42:33.150 --> 00:42:33.980
Here's a letter for you.

00:42:33.980 --> 00:42:35.240
Thank you.

00:42:35.240 --> 00:42:36.030
We've got a letter!

00:42:38.660 --> 00:42:41.170
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:42:42.640 --> 00:42:44.570
<i>We biology club members</i>

00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:46.930
<i>would go to the nearby irrigation
ditch after school</i>

00:42:47.570 --> 00:42:50.920
<i>looking for stoneflies and planktons.</i>

00:42:51.670 --> 00:42:55.090
<i>I had no idea what was so exciting about that.</i>

00:42:55.490 --> 00:42:59.370
<i>But it's now a nostalgic memory that
worth cherishing to look back.</i>

00:43:05.140 --> 00:43:07.470
You know, my sister is the student
council president.

00:43:08.010 --> 00:43:09.720
Is she? That's cool.

00:43:10.570 --> 00:43:11.500
Not cool at all.

00:43:12.470 --> 00:43:13.400
It's dull.

00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:13.910
Why?

00:43:15.060 --> 00:43:16.790
I'm sick of being compared
to her all the time.

00:43:16.790 --> 00:43:18.390
I've never been able to do
anything better than her.

00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:20.730
I understand.

00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:26.420
<i>Epidemic influenza was rampant
at school at that time.</i>

00:43:27.270 --> 00:43:31.560
I've decided to actively participate in
community volunteer activities.

00:43:31.560 --> 00:43:33.960
She's the student council president, isn't she?

00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:34.750
Yes.

00:43:36.140 --> 00:43:38.090
Is she Yuri's sister?

00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:39.160
Yes, she is.

00:43:39.620 --> 00:43:44.080
I know it well you're busy with your
studies and club activities

00:43:44.080 --> 00:43:46.280
but it's a great way to make new friends
and discover new things.

00:43:47.500 --> 00:43:48.460
Let's try it again.

00:43:48.460 --> 00:43:49.250
Okay.

00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:53.090
What does your sister look like?

00:43:53.530 --> 00:43:55.570
Why do you ask?

00:43:56.830 --> 00:43:59.560
That's just because she always
has the mask on.

00:44:00.650 --> 00:44:02.510
Do you like my sister?

00:44:02.510 --> 00:44:04.030
No, not that.

00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:07.400
It's just that I've never seen her face.

00:44:07.900 --> 00:44:09.550
We have some photos of her at my place.

00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:12.340
My place is nearby.

00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:14.300
Want to come over and
take a look at them?

00:44:16.050 --> 00:44:16.790
Let's go.

00:44:23.620 --> 00:44:24.240
Here it is.

00:44:25.510 --> 00:44:27.300
This is my sister.

00:44:28.890 --> 00:44:31.500
That's me when I was three.

00:44:33.310 --> 00:44:34.740
This is when I was at kindergarten.

00:44:35.910 --> 00:44:38.150
This is the recent photo of my sister.

00:44:42.150 --> 00:44:44.110
It's kind of fuzzy, isn't it?

00:44:46.350 --> 00:44:49.590
It's fuzzier now.

00:44:51.370 --> 00:44:53.110
Would you like to eat some watermelon?

00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:54.250
I will get them!

00:44:59.130 --> 00:45:01.460
My sister will be back in a minute.

00:45:02.530 --> 00:45:04.850
I'll have her meet you when she gets back.

00:45:04.850 --> 00:45:06.110
That's not necessary.

00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:09.340
We should get back now.

00:45:11.080 --> 00:45:12.700
Your sister's back, isn't she?

00:45:13.060 --> 00:45:15.320
Not yet.

00:45:18.660 --> 00:45:19.230
Eat up.

00:45:20.010 --> 00:45:20.560
Thanks.

00:45:22.370 --> 00:45:23.920
Do you want some barley tea?
I'll go get it.

00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:25.780
We have to go.

00:45:27.510 --> 00:45:28.630
It's still club time now.

00:45:29.150 --> 00:45:30.330
Thanks for this.

00:45:38.490 --> 00:45:39.440
Sis!

00:45:42.750 --> 00:45:45.200
Yuri, what are you doing here?

00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:48.180
Ah, he is ...

00:45:49.040 --> 00:45:50.340
He is my senior, Otosaka.

00:45:51.230 --> 00:45:52.130
He's a member of the biology club.

00:45:53.750 --> 00:45:55.160
He has been transferred to
our school recently.

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:58.500
Are you two having a nice date right now?

00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.400
You get it wrong!

00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:01.690
She gets it wrong, doesn't she?

00:46:02.100 --> 00:46:03.660
We're doing a club activity now.
Club activity.

00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.920
What's your name?

00:46:09.530 --> 00:46:10.330
I'm Otosaka.

00:46:12.390 --> 00:46:13.720
Nice to meet you.

00:46:13.720 --> 00:46:15.780
I'm Yuri's sister, Misaki.

00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:20.360
You should take your mask off
when introducing yourself.

00:46:25.750 --> 00:46:26.940
I'm Tono Misaki.

00:46:30.630 --> 00:46:34.000
See you again at school tomorrow.

00:46:34.630 --> 00:46:35.460
See you.

00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:50.740
She is beautiful, isn't she?

00:46:51.230 --> 00:46:53.300
I could be biased as a sister
to say that, though.

00:46:53.740 --> 00:46:57.160
Yes, as you say, she's beautiful.

00:46:58.200 --> 00:46:59.840
Well, why don't  ...

00:47:00.460 --> 00:47:02.650
why don't you write her love letter?

00:47:03.500 --> 00:47:04.700
Love letter.

00:47:04.680 --> 00:47:05.890
I can help you deliver it to her.

00:47:05.890 --> 00:47:07.270
I don't think it will work.

00:47:08.510 --> 00:47:11.010
Love letters are still a little ...

00:47:12.310 --> 00:47:15.930
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:47:17.690 --> 00:47:24.600
<i>I'm Otosaka Kyoshiro, whom you met
the other day with your sister.</i>

00:47:25.640 --> 00:47:29.970
<i>I'm indebted to Yuri for
looking after me.</i>

00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:37.230
<i>Since I was just transferred to this school,
I still has a lot to learn.</i>

00:47:39.600 --> 00:47:43.750
<i>There's a lot of things I don't know about
this school and this city.</i>

00:47:44.350 --> 00:47:48.420
<i>I'd be very grateful to learn all
I can about it from you.</i>

00:47:49.310 --> 00:47:53.010
<i>I would appreciate your help in this matter.</i>

00:47:54.250 --> 00:47:56.260
I wrote a letter to your sister.

00:47:56.250 --> 00:47:59.260
(Otosaka Kyoshiro
Class 3-4)

00:47:59.260 --> 00:48:03.260
(Tono Misaki)

00:48:04.900 --> 00:48:08.970
<i>I had been writing you love
letters afterward.</i>

00:48:09.720 --> 00:48:12.120
<i>That's how I started writing
love letters to you.</i>

00:48:13.890 --> 00:48:15.640
<i>I've already written a lot.</i>

00:48:15.640 --> 00:48:17.640
<i>Until the next time.</i>

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:21.740
I want to know what happened next.

00:48:31.860 --> 00:48:33.060
Coming.

00:48:40.430 --> 00:48:42.380
Sorry to bother you.

00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:45.590
Thank you for the other day.

00:48:46.210 --> 00:48:49.210
I heard Mrs. Kishibeno's got a sprained back.

00:48:49.510 --> 00:48:50.430
Yes, she has.

00:48:51.110 --> 00:48:53.680
Sorry, did you get her letter?

00:48:54.290 --> 00:48:57.210
I was worried that you haven't replied yet.

00:48:57.380 --> 00:48:58.790
I'm sorry I made you worried.

00:48:59.930 --> 00:49:02.500
When I called an ambulance,
I slipped down and hurt my hand.

00:49:03.780 --> 00:49:06.070
I can't move my hand.

00:49:06.870 --> 00:49:08.530
It must be hurt.

00:49:09.770 --> 00:49:11.190
I think it's inappropriate to talk at the door.

00:49:11.190 --> 00:49:12.420
Come in.

00:49:12.420 --> 00:49:13.380
Here, come on in.

00:49:13.750 --> 00:49:14.860
Okay.

00:49:14.860 --> 00:49:15.860
Excuse me.

00:49:17.020 --> 00:49:20.840
<i>Mont St. Michel is either a small
island that located</i>

00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:25.230
<i>at the Gulf of Saint-Malo, off the
west coast of France,</i>

00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.140
<i>or the nunnery on it.</i>

00:49:29.140 --> 00:49:31.900
What? Does it really say that?

00:49:33.060 --> 00:49:36.560
I'll have to send her a corrected copy.

00:49:37.580 --> 00:49:38.940
What is it?

00:49:39.490 --> 00:49:41.180
She's still learning English?

00:49:41.710 --> 00:49:45.770
I used to teach English at the high school.

00:49:46.830 --> 00:49:50.670
I met some of the alumni before.

00:49:51.270 --> 00:49:55.400
They all joked about wanting to
take my class again.

00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:00.650
I got carried away and told them to
come whenever they want.

00:50:01.700 --> 00:50:06.760
I was surprised Mrs. Kishibeno actually came.

00:50:07.140 --> 00:50:11.480
What's the point of learning English
at this late stage of life?

00:50:12.290 --> 00:50:15.630
I wanted to write back.

00:50:16.200 --> 00:50:19.710
But I couldn't with my hand like this.

00:50:22.350 --> 00:50:27.610
Underline “either” right there.

00:50:27.970 --> 00:50:29.110
Done.

00:50:30.020 --> 00:50:32.670
It should say “both.”

00:50:35.230 --> 00:50:39.030
And correct the conjunction,
change “or” to “and.”

00:50:39.250 --> 00:50:42.760
Change “or” to “and.”

00:50:43.470 --> 00:50:45.840
If it's “either/or” then it means ...

00:50:46.250 --> 00:50:48.150
“Mont St. Michel is ...

00:50:48.740 --> 00:50:52.070
... either a small island or a monastery.”

00:50:52.090 --> 00:50:54.570
So, it's an either/or situation, isn't it?

00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:58.890
Then underline “nunnery.”

00:51:01.050 --> 00:51:03.150
I see.

00:51:04.130 --> 00:51:06.270
This is so fun.

00:51:06.890 --> 00:51:10.350
She must have enjoyed this kind
of time with you.

00:51:10.690 --> 00:51:12.080
I guess so.

00:51:18.790 --> 00:51:20.140
Come in.

00:51:23.450 --> 00:51:25.390
I have a letter for you.

00:51:25.770 --> 00:51:26.930
Leave it here.

00:51:28.740 --> 00:51:29.940
Here it is.

00:51:29.940 --> 00:51:31.340
(Kishibeno Akiko)

00:51:31.340 --> 00:51:32.840
Thank you.

00:51:45.710 --> 00:51:47.100
Excuse me, Yumi is here.

00:51:47.370 --> 00:51:48.810
Come in.

00:51:49.130 --> 00:51:51.300
You didn't lock your door.

00:51:52.810 --> 00:51:56.510
<i>Dear Hatoba Shozo Sensei.</i>

00:51:57.740 --> 00:52:00.670
<i>Thank you for your concern.</i>

00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:06.410
<i>Now, please correct the following
paragraphs in English.</i>

00:52:08.470 --> 00:52:12.390
This time she wrote about
Palace of Versailles.

00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:25.820
- Hello, Sir.
- I have a letter for you.

00:52:25.930 --> 00:52:27.010
Thanks.

00:52:27.010 --> 00:52:29.990
Ayumi, we've got another reply.

00:52:30.470 --> 00:52:33.330
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:52:33.950 --> 00:52:37.550
<i>I wrote so many letters to you</i>

00:52:37.910 --> 00:52:40.350
<i>and then entrusted it to Yuri.</i>

00:52:40.610 --> 00:52:45.470
<i>I wonder how many letters I give her?</i>

00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:49.890
<i>Dear Otosaka Kyoshiro.</i>

00:52:50.190 --> 00:52:53.610
<i>Do you remember my sister?</i>

00:52:54.150 --> 00:52:56.580
<i>Her name was Yuri.</i>

00:52:57.040 --> 00:52:59.270
<i>She didn't really stand out.</i>

00:52:59.540 --> 00:53:01.450
<i>You probably don't remember her.</i>

00:53:03.310 --> 00:53:07.170
There was a guy in high school

00:53:07.520 --> 00:53:09.740
that I had a crush on.

00:53:10.810 --> 00:53:14.480
But he liked my sister.

00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:18.290
He even wrote my sister love letters

00:53:18.510 --> 00:53:22.930
and then he'd ask me to deliver
them to my sister.

00:53:23.650 --> 00:53:25.210
Don't you think that's outrageous?

00:53:28.650 --> 00:53:30.000
Sensei, may I ...

00:53:30.330 --> 00:53:34.370
Sensei, may I use your address?

00:53:35.460 --> 00:53:36.780
Sensei!

00:53:37.410 --> 00:53:38.740
Yes.

00:53:41.460 --> 00:53:44.720
Is it okay if I use your address?

00:53:45.630 --> 00:53:47.710
Sure, no problem.

00:53:48.030 --> 00:53:49.680
<i>You don't have to write back.</i>

00:53:50.130 --> 00:53:52.180
<i>But if you do want to,</i>

00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:54.870
<i>you can send it to this address.</i>

00:53:55.140 --> 00:53:58.020
<i>When the mood strikes, please write me back.</i>

00:53:58.370 --> 00:54:00.560
<i>Tono Misaki.</i>

00:54:02.130 --> 00:54:05.090
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:54:05.830 --> 00:54:08.310
<i>First love is a frightening​ thing.</i>

00:54:08.600 --> 00:54:11.930
<i>It was a feeling of insecurity and anxiety,
almost like fear.</i>

00:54:13.180 --> 00:54:17.670
<i>As if the earth revolved around you.</i>

00:54:18.210 --> 00:54:21.100
<i>Your gravitational pulled me in.</i>

00:54:21.460 --> 00:54:26.610
<i>All I could think about was
you day after day.</i>

00:54:41.370 --> 00:54:44.310
<i>Dear Tono Misaki.</i>

00:54:45.030 --> 00:54:49.450
<i>Looks like you're finally over your cold.</i>

00:54:49.890 --> 00:54:51.850
<i>Congratulations on your recovery.</i>

00:54:52.700 --> 00:54:55.730
<i>My hobby is reading books.</i>

00:54:55.730 --> 00:54:57.050
(Natsume Soseki's Complete Collection)

00:54:57.050 --> 00:54:59.130
<i>Natsume Soseki's books are my favorite.</i>

00:54:59.470 --> 00:55:02.810
<i>What kind of books do you like?</i>

00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.590
<i>How's your sister doing?</i>

00:55:13.350 --> 00:55:16.130
<i>Has she gotten married yet?</i>

00:55:17.050 --> 00:55:18.500
<i>Does she have kids?</i>

00:55:19.940 --> 00:55:21.210
<i>And you?</i>

00:55:22.070 --> 00:55:23.760
<i>How are you?</i>

00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:55.200
Coming.

00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:01.390
Hi!

00:56:14.490 --> 00:56:16.170
How did you get here?

00:56:16.530 --> 00:56:20.000
You gave me this address.

00:56:23.090 --> 00:56:26.720
Isn't this your home?

00:56:27.390 --> 00:56:29.880
This place belongs to the acquaintance
of someone I know.

00:56:31.050 --> 00:56:33.830
Can you wait here for a minute, please?

00:56:35.070 --> 00:56:36.060
Okay.

00:56:43.170 --> 00:56:44.510
Oh no!

00:56:48.160 --> 00:56:50.090
I don't bring anything with me.

00:56:50.210 --> 00:56:52.290
What's going on?

00:56:52.750 --> 00:56:54.570
He's here.

00:56:54.970 --> 00:56:56.240
Who?

00:56:56.770 --> 00:56:59.390
My first love is here.

00:56:59.740 --> 00:57:03.930
But I didn't bring my makeup kit or anything.

00:57:04.160 --> 00:57:08.000
Seems I have lipstick Mrs. Kishibeno left here.

00:57:08.660 --> 00:57:09.990
If I remember correctly I saved it in here.

00:57:12.640 --> 00:57:14.490
Here, you can use it.

00:57:15.310 --> 00:57:16.630
Thanks.

00:57:17.470 --> 00:57:19.900
But why did she leave her lipstick here?

00:57:20.810 --> 00:57:23.300
Oh man, it looks so outdated.

00:57:28.690 --> 00:57:30.200
Well, maybe it's not so bad.

00:57:41.700 --> 00:57:43.890
- Sorry for keeping you waiting.
- That's okay.

00:57:43.990 --> 00:57:45.630
What do we do now?

00:57:46.090 --> 00:57:47.510
There's a park over there.

00:57:47.510 --> 00:57:49.510
Let's have a talk there, shall we?

00:57:49.630 --> 00:57:52.040
You guys can talk here.

00:57:52.230 --> 00:57:54.520
You shouldn't be seen talking
in the public eye.

00:57:55.290 --> 00:57:58.590
I want to go out for a walk.

00:58:04.490 --> 00:58:05.690
Thank you.

00:58:06.780 --> 00:58:08.390
Excuse me.

00:58:08.830 --> 00:58:10.250
Would you like something to drink?

00:58:10.670 --> 00:58:12.850
No, I'm okay.

00:58:18.640 --> 00:58:20.410
Did you read all the letters?

00:58:20.660 --> 00:58:24.270
I did, I've always enjoyed reading them.

00:58:25.060 --> 00:58:26.950
I'm sorry for every letter.

00:58:27.290 --> 00:58:30.230
It's just a bunch of boring
housewife stuff.

00:58:31.350 --> 00:58:33.180
This is where you wrote the letters.

00:58:33.530 --> 00:58:35.450
Don't look at it! Don't look at it!

00:58:35.900 --> 00:58:37.590
You must not read these.

00:58:41.170 --> 00:58:42.370
Sorry.

00:58:42.620 --> 00:58:44.210
Thank you for the tea.

00:58:44.770 --> 00:58:47.800
The book you mentioned before.

00:58:48.610 --> 00:58:50.380
I can't remember it.

00:58:51.200 --> 00:58:52.810
What's the book again?

00:58:56.630 --> 00:58:59.660
It's a novel I wrote.

00:59:00.870 --> 00:59:02.490
It's called “Misaki.”

00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:04.970
Misaki?

00:59:05.460 --> 00:59:11.530
It's a novel about a girl modeled after you.

00:59:12.050 --> 00:59:14.250
I don't think you'll forget, but ...

00:59:17.120 --> 00:59:19.970
You are Yuri, aren't you?

00:59:21.940 --> 00:59:25.460
I'm sorry, I knew that from the beginning.

00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:28.480
I noticed it the moment I saw
you at the reunion.

00:59:29.210 --> 00:59:31.470
How come no one has noticed?

00:59:31.750 --> 00:59:33.670
You knew and pretended
you didn't know.

00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:35.990
You should have told me.

00:59:36.330 --> 00:59:39.170
Where's Misaki? Where is she now?

00:59:40.170 --> 00:59:41.340
Back in your hometown?

00:59:43.890 --> 00:59:45.220
My sister ...

00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:48.730
passed away.

00:59:55.540 --> 00:59:56.740
When?

00:59:58.100 --> 00:59:59.780
She passed away last month.

01:00:00.290 --> 01:00:02.270
At the end of July.

01:00:03.170 --> 01:00:07.210
I went to the reunion to tell
everyone the news.

01:00:07.550 --> 01:00:10.520
But I just couldn't find the
right time to say it.

01:00:10.890 --> 01:00:13.960
I went back home without
saying a single word.

01:00:14.470 --> 01:00:21.240
How did she pass away?

01:00:22.690 --> 01:00:24.230
She couldn't stand the pain.

01:00:26.970 --> 01:00:29.080
She committed suicide.

01:00:31.580 --> 01:00:35.730
We've decided to tell others
she dead by illness.

01:00:41.210 --> 01:00:42.880
I see.

01:00:44.940 --> 01:00:47.450
Do we have to hide it?

01:00:48.160 --> 01:00:51.490
I don't know either.

01:00:52.510 --> 01:00:56.110
I used to date your sister.

01:00:56.970 --> 01:00:58.510
I dated her when we were in college.

01:00:59.510 --> 01:01:01.950
I see, you had dated her.

01:01:03.590 --> 01:01:05.360
I had dated her and ...

01:01:07.560 --> 01:01:09.800
that's when I wrote the novel about her.

01:01:12.150 --> 01:01:14.170
It's a novel titled, “Misaki.”

01:01:17.410 --> 01:01:20.280
It won a prestigious award.

01:01:24.050 --> 01:01:26.050
I thought I'd be able to write another novel again.

01:01:27.510 --> 01:01:29.200
I had tried to write it ever since.

01:01:31.370 --> 01:01:36.480
But I found myself trapped in
the past with my memories of her.

01:01:40.270 --> 01:01:41.970
And then I realized ...

01:01:44.140 --> 01:01:45.620
that was a real bummer.

01:01:46.330 --> 01:01:49.150
It was all about her.

01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:57.390
I just kept getting the same old story.

01:02:00.520 --> 01:02:02.300
That's all I've written so far.

01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:05.390
The only book ...

01:02:07.580 --> 01:02:10.710
I've ever had published is Misaki.

01:02:14.430 --> 01:02:17.070
The novel I'm working on now ...

01:02:18.860 --> 01:02:20.850
is also a story about Misaki.

01:02:24.230 --> 01:02:26.420
I wished she'd read it.

01:02:31.950 --> 01:02:43.590
So, I thought I'd stop writing
once she did.

01:02:47.510 --> 01:02:49.610
I had no idea about any of this.

01:02:51.790 --> 01:02:56.280
After my sister went off to college

01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:59.000
she and I kind of drifted apart.

01:02:59.570 --> 01:03:01.790
When she was still at college ...

01:03:01.790 --> 01:03:04.490
she ran off with his lover
and got married.

01:03:07.030 --> 01:03:08.230
She married Ato?

01:03:09.190 --> 01:03:11.940
Ato Yuichi?

01:03:12.540 --> 01:03:14.170
You know him?

01:03:15.460 --> 01:03:17.890
I knew him a little at college.

01:03:20.420 --> 01:03:23.150
I have no idea what he's doing now.

01:03:24.310 --> 01:03:28.850
I didn't know anything about
his background either.

01:03:30.640 --> 01:03:32.600
He didn't have a job.

01:03:33.770 --> 01:03:36.410
And he seemed to be living off his sister.

01:03:37.100 --> 01:03:39.560
He was abusive.

01:03:40.070 --> 01:03:43.490
But my sister was the kind of person who
wouldn't tell us things like that.

01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:48.610
Ayumi came to our place one day.

01:03:49.310 --> 01:03:51.220
She is my sister's only daughter.

01:03:52.470 --> 01:03:59.580
Her face was all swollen and
her eyes purpled.

01:04:00.040 --> 01:04:02.980
I got scared, so I asked her
what happened.

01:04:04.900 --> 01:04:08.910
She said she wanted me to
save her mother.

01:04:10.470 --> 01:04:14.430
At first, I thought it was
just a marital quarrel.

01:04:16.010 --> 01:04:17.850
When we got to their place.

01:04:19.690 --> 01:04:22.340
My sister was all haggard,
she was beaten up so badly.

01:04:25.240 --> 01:04:30.110
And her husband just let us in as
if nothing had happened.

01:04:31.470 --> 01:04:34.760
And said, “We're out of tea” and then he left.

01:04:36.630 --> 01:04:38.640
And I haven't seen him since.

01:04:40.050 --> 01:04:41.170
What?

01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:47.870
There's no news, and we don't know
where he is now.

01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.260
My sister ...

01:05:04.110 --> 01:05:09.240
My sister's life was ruined by that man.

01:05:11.270 --> 01:05:14.110
She couldn't heal the wound in her heart.

01:05:15.950 --> 01:05:18.030
She tried to slit her wrists repeatedly.

01:05:19.860 --> 01:05:22.230
She had done a suicide
attempt many times.

01:05:22.530 --> 01:05:25.150
The last time was on a mountainside.

01:05:34.510 --> 01:05:36.510
I can't regret it enough.

01:05:38.410 --> 01:05:41.430
If only she'd married you ...

01:05:53.240 --> 01:05:55.310
Are you going back to Tokyo?

01:05:55.830 --> 01:05:59.390
No, there are a few places
I want to visit.

01:05:59.730 --> 01:06:02.330
- To collect some source materials?
- Yes.

01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.600
I want to see where Misaki used to live.

01:06:06.080 --> 01:06:08.480
But no one lives there anymore.

01:06:08.830 --> 01:06:11.130
I don't know whether the building
itself exists or not.

01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:13.130
Do you know where it is?

01:06:13.310 --> 01:06:14.830
You have the address, don't you?

01:06:15.290 --> 01:06:18.250
I do, it's at North First Street, isn't it?

01:06:18.250 --> 01:06:19.250
Yes.

01:06:19.640 --> 01:06:20.420
I know where is it.

01:06:20.420 --> 01:06:23.320
I had sent her a letter before.

01:06:27.640 --> 01:06:32.260
Do you still have a printed
copy of your novel?

01:06:33.110 --> 01:06:36.570
It's already out of print.

01:06:36.570 --> 01:06:39.570
I don't think it's available for purchase, but ...

01:06:42.200 --> 01:06:44.710
If you'd like to read it ...

01:06:45.930 --> 01:06:47.140
please do.

01:06:47.490 --> 01:06:49.290
Thank you.

01:06:52.390 --> 01:06:56.050
My sister has gone to the other side

01:06:56.850 --> 01:07:00.870
but I hope you'll keep her story alive.

01:07:02.030 --> 01:07:04.910
When writing those letters pretending
to be my sister

01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:12.190
made it seem like my sister's life
was still going on.

01:07:14.300 --> 01:07:17.690
If someone keeps thinking
about the deceased,

01:07:18.680 --> 01:07:23.670
it's as if they're still alive, isn't it?

01:07:27.520 --> 01:07:31.310
Yeah, maybe so.

01:08:06.900 --> 01:08:09.800
<i>MISAKI
Novel by Otosaka Kyoshiro
It was a vivid reminder of the pain of my youth,
this work was so endearing.
- Kawakami Fuyuki</i>

01:08:10.010 --> 01:08:13.160
What do you like about my sister?

01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:17.340
What I like about her ...

01:08:18.900 --> 01:08:20.100
There's plenty.

01:08:25.450 --> 01:08:28.700
Why don't you try to write it?

01:08:34.350 --> 01:08:38.730
You can just write,
“I like this and that about you.”

01:08:39.820 --> 01:08:44.040
In short, say what do you
really like about her.

01:08:45.060 --> 01:08:46.890
Isn't what I've written enough?

01:08:48.770 --> 01:08:50.190
Yet, it's not enough.

01:08:50.450 --> 01:08:51.400
You read my letters?

01:08:51.570 --> 01:08:52.570
I didn't.

01:08:52.570 --> 01:08:53.660
Then how do you know?

01:08:53.660 --> 01:08:55.080
I didn't read them, it's just ...

01:08:55.180 --> 01:08:57.330
my sister read them out loud,
and I heard it by chance.

01:08:57.430 --> 01:08:59.450
So, you can't blame that on me.

01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:09.030
Your sister is too much to handle.

01:09:10.650 --> 01:09:13.970
But it's okay.

01:09:14.870 --> 01:09:16.200
I forgive her.

01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.800
I will forgive her for whatever she does.

01:09:25.670 --> 01:09:27.780
You must really like her.

01:09:39.280 --> 01:09:40.700
You okay?

01:09:41.280 --> 01:09:42.730
I can't take it anymore.

01:09:44.010 --> 01:09:46.550
You caught a cold, this is bad.

01:09:46.750 --> 01:09:48.410
Why don't you take a rest today?

01:09:50.530 --> 01:09:54.990
I've got to attend a student
council meeting later.

01:09:55.130 --> 01:09:58.290
Can you take my place?

01:10:01.630 --> 01:10:02.800
Okay.

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:13.430
Hello.

01:10:13.430 --> 01:10:14.530
Hello.

01:10:15.810 --> 01:10:21.290
I'm filling in for Yaegashi today.

01:10:22.190 --> 01:10:23.940
He's caught a cold.

01:10:24.490 --> 01:10:26.140
Has he?

01:10:26.820 --> 01:10:30.350
Seems lots of students caught a cold.

01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:33.550
It's not because of me, is it?

01:10:38.210 --> 01:10:42.810
Can you help me set the table, please?

01:10:43.330 --> 01:10:45.050
- Okay.
- Thank you.

01:10:45.440 --> 01:10:48.840
Let's put this one in the middle.

01:10:54.550 --> 01:10:56.410
And that one too.

01:11:01.730 --> 01:11:02.520
Sorry ...

01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.520
What?

01:11:05.810 --> 01:11:07.080
Have you ...

01:11:08.320 --> 01:11:11.070
Have you read the letters?

01:11:12.510 --> 01:11:13.820
Letters?

01:11:14.510 --> 01:11:15.850
What letters?

01:11:21.500 --> 01:11:24.620
Forget it.

01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:49.630
Where are my letters?

01:11:55.270 --> 01:11:57.310
You never gave them to
your sister, did you?

01:11:58.090 --> 01:12:00.210
She doesn't know anything.

01:12:01.220 --> 01:12:02.990
Are you playing with me?

01:12:03.090 --> 01:12:04.190
No, I'm not.

01:12:04.200 --> 01:12:05.640
Then why did you do it?

01:12:06.460 --> 01:12:10.170
I already gave your letters
to her yesterday.

01:12:14.200 --> 01:12:17.610
My sister ...

01:12:26.500 --> 01:12:31.290
My sister wanted to tell you the truth.

01:12:33.310 --> 01:12:35.330
Your sister wrote this?

01:12:35.870 --> 01:12:37.910
No, I ...

01:12:42.470 --> 01:12:49.900
<i>I like you
Please go out with me
Tono Yuri</i>

01:13:01.290 --> 01:13:02.840
I'm sorry.

01:13:06.580 --> 01:13:08.030
I didn't know.

01:13:15.870 --> 01:13:16.770
That's fine.

01:13:21.150 --> 01:13:22.880
204

01:13:24.470 --> 01:13:26.250
So, this is the place.

01:13:35.080 --> 01:13:37.190
As I expected.

01:13:38.670 --> 01:13:40.440
Has anyone lived here yet?

01:13:45.610 --> 01:13:47.030
I'm sorry.

01:13:47.030 --> 01:13:48.510
No, it's okay.

01:13:51.650 --> 01:13:53.580
What are you doing?

01:13:54.230 --> 01:13:55.550
I'm sorry.

01:13:55.900 --> 01:14:00.120
My friend used to live here.

01:14:00.690 --> 01:14:02.140
Your friend's name is Misaki?

01:14:04.280 --> 01:14:05.110
You know her?

01:14:05.160 --> 01:14:08.850
No, not really, she's my husband's ex-wife.

01:14:09.030 --> 01:14:10.010
And who your husband is?

01:14:10.200 --> 01:14:11.580
Ato.

01:14:12.180 --> 01:14:13.390
Ato?

01:14:13.390 --> 01:14:15.360
Ato Yuichi?

01:14:15.590 --> 01:14:16.130
Yes, he is.

01:14:16.130 --> 01:14:18.670
Does he live here now?

01:14:18.780 --> 01:14:19.830
Yes, he does live here.

01:14:20.450 --> 01:14:22.080
How long has he been living here?

01:14:22.190 --> 01:14:24.640
How long? I don't know either.

01:14:25.020 --> 01:14:27.400
Hasn't he been here since a long time ago?

01:14:27.400 --> 01:14:29.400
I've only been here for about a year, though.

01:14:30.290 --> 01:14:31.510
He's gone to work now.

01:14:31.510 --> 01:14:33.310
I'll contact him for you.

01:14:36.070 --> 01:14:39.170
No, no need to ...

01:14:40.080 --> 01:14:43.260
Why don't you come in.
It's hot outside, isn't it?

01:14:49.580 --> 01:14:50.910
Excuse me.

01:14:58.050 --> 01:14:59.230
He's replied.

01:14:59.430 --> 01:15:00.600
“Who?”

01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:04.250
I forgot, what's your name?

01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:06.130
Otosaka.

01:15:06.130 --> 01:15:09.170
Oto from kanji Otsu and Saka
from kanji Sakamichi.

01:15:10.470 --> 01:15:11.830
I type it in hiragana characters.

01:15:12.890 --> 01:15:13.690
That's okay.

01:15:15.510 --> 01:15:17.860
Just wait a minute.

01:15:17.860 --> 01:15:19.980
He will be back soon.

01:15:23.060 --> 01:15:24.520
What do you do?

01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:28.740
I write novels, but they don't sell well.

01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:30.690
You are a novelist?

01:15:30.690 --> 01:15:31.870
That's cool.

01:15:31.870 --> 01:15:33.270
No, not at all.

01:15:47.380 --> 01:15:49.120
You're the author of this book?

01:15:50.910 --> 01:15:52.480
Yes, I'm.

01:15:55.430 --> 01:15:56.240
May I ask you something?

01:15:58.360 --> 01:16:00.160
Does Ato always lose his temper?

01:16:01.610 --> 01:16:04.410
Is he that selfish?

01:16:05.310 --> 01:16:07.170
He's indeed a temperamental
and selfish person.

01:16:07.170 --> 01:16:08.180
You know that, don't you?

01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:11.070
Is he?

01:16:16.730 --> 01:16:20.220
He's asking you to go out for a drink.

01:16:23.290 --> 01:16:25.580
I work there.

01:16:25.580 --> 01:16:27.730
You do?

01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:44.590
I'll get going now.

01:16:45.420 --> 01:16:49.100
But don't let him drink too much.

01:16:49.100 --> 01:16:52.240
Because he's a real pain in the
ass when he's drunk.

01:17:03.450 --> 01:17:04.810
Welcome.

01:17:08.750 --> 01:17:10.640
Long time no see.

01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:11.700
How are you?

01:17:18.090 --> 01:17:19.370
What brings you here?

01:17:21.020 --> 01:17:21.680
Nothing.

01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:28.430
You're here to pick up some
fodder for your novel.

01:17:28.430 --> 01:17:29.690
I'm right, aren't I?

01:17:31.210 --> 01:17:33.270
What do you want to drink?
Want a beer to start?

01:17:34.060 --> 01:17:34.680
Okay.

01:17:35.850 --> 01:17:37.180
- Sir!
- Yes?

01:17:37.180 --> 01:17:38.550
I order a draft beer

01:17:38.550 --> 01:17:40.030
and a shot of plum cocktail, please.

01:17:40.030 --> 01:17:41.000
Okay.

01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:44.130
Draft beer and a shot of
plum cocktail, please!

01:17:52.140 --> 01:17:53.360
I haven't seen you in eons.

01:17:54.910 --> 01:17:57.490
It's been 20 years, though.

01:17:58.160 --> 01:17:59.850
How'd you find my place?

01:18:02.010 --> 01:18:07.320
I once got a New Year's
card from Misaki.

01:18:07.320 --> 01:18:10.540
Your address was written on it.

01:18:10.540 --> 01:18:11.560
I see.

01:18:12.090 --> 01:18:14.300
I didn't think you were still living there.

01:18:15.740 --> 01:18:17.570
I was so surprised.

01:18:19.790 --> 01:18:21.790
I've got nowhere to go.

01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:24.150
Here we are.

01:18:27.130 --> 01:18:28.690
That was too fast.

01:18:29.230 --> 01:18:31.350
You just made it a second ago.

01:18:32.430 --> 01:18:35.760
You have to stir it with chopsticks
to make a foamy beer.

01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:36.980
It's the fact.

01:18:38.290 --> 01:18:39.780
Come on, cheers.

01:18:39.780 --> 01:18:41.010
Cheers!

01:18:54.040 --> 01:18:56.480
You didn't actually come to see me, did you?

01:18:57.910 --> 01:18:59.500
You came to see her.

01:19:00.410 --> 01:19:03.240
When the door open you were surprised to see
a woman you don't know, weren't you?

01:19:04.930 --> 01:19:06.310
Haven't you heard?

01:19:08.830 --> 01:19:09.550
Misaki ...

01:19:13.190 --> 01:19:14.360
She passed away.

01:19:23.010 --> 01:19:24.410
Last month.

01:19:26.700 --> 01:19:28.010
She committed suicide.

01:19:36.890 --> 01:19:37.830
You were  ...

01:19:38.980 --> 01:19:45.180
You were not a student at our school.

01:19:49.450 --> 01:19:54.970
Who the hell are you?

01:19:59.420 --> 01:20:00.500
What is it?

01:20:01.520 --> 01:20:04.770
You act as if her death is my fault.

01:20:06.950 --> 01:20:08.400
So, it's not your fault?

01:20:10.170 --> 01:20:11.820
It's not.

01:20:15.630 --> 01:20:16.810
Even if it's my fault ...

01:20:17.510 --> 01:20:20.340
it has nothing to do with you.

01:20:33.390 --> 01:20:34.610
You know ...

01:20:35.730 --> 01:20:39.240
you had no influence on her life at all.

01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:42.720
Do you think ...

01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:47.200
she'd live a happy life if you married her?

01:20:48.700 --> 01:20:51.710
You're just another failed novelist who
could only write one title book

01:20:51.710 --> 01:20:54.810
and couldn't even sell
a single of it yourself.

01:20:55.080 --> 01:20:57.960
It's only because she dumped you
that you were able to write it.

01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:03.460
If you hadn't been dumped, that novel
wouldn't even exist in your life.

01:21:06.540 --> 01:21:12.420
Which means that novel was a gift
from me and her to you.

01:21:14.100 --> 01:21:18.980
It was a great gift for your life.

01:21:19.950 --> 01:21:20.990
Wasn't it?

01:21:27.010 --> 01:21:28.920
She was such a boring woman.

01:21:30.670 --> 01:21:33.830
Always looked at me with fear in her eyes.

01:21:36.770 --> 01:21:39.300
Sometimes I couldn't help but hit her.

01:21:46.410 --> 01:21:48.390
We have a daughter named Ayumi.

01:21:49.490 --> 01:21:55.990
She always looked at me mockingly with
an innocent look in her eyes.

01:21:58.410 --> 01:22:00.950
Whenever she looked at me
with those eyes

01:22:00.950 --> 01:22:03.960
I just felt like I was ...

01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:10.010
a dirty, filthy, inhuman bastard.

01:22:12.480 --> 01:22:14.700
Is that really a place where I was
supposed to go back?

01:22:18.480 --> 01:22:20.600
“Get out of here!”

01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:23.300
I just wanted to get out of my house.

01:22:25.300 --> 01:22:28.150
I ended up running away from my own life.

01:22:37.640 --> 01:22:40.470
I went to frolic around for a while.

01:22:41.090 --> 01:22:44.730
And then I came back home a month later.

01:22:45.210 --> 01:22:46.880
No one was there.

01:22:48.580 --> 01:22:50.330
My house was empty.

01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:56.870
You just asked me, didn't you?

01:22:56.870 --> 01:22:58.870
What was it again?

01:22:59.940 --> 01:23:02.310
“Who the hell are you?”

01:23:05.090 --> 01:23:07.640
I once longed for a name.

01:23:07.640 --> 01:23:11.870
But I've turned myself from
a nobody into a loser.

01:23:13.910 --> 01:23:17.690
I'm neither a good husband
nor a good father.

01:23:17.740 --> 01:23:19.630
I don't have a decent job either.

01:23:20.690 --> 01:23:23.470
And blames everything on everyone else.

01:23:25.750 --> 01:23:27.450
It's interesting, isn't it?

01:23:28.170 --> 01:23:29.960
Go back and write it down, man.

01:23:30.230 --> 01:23:31.900
Write a sequel.

01:23:32.870 --> 01:23:35.890
But this time you won't have a part.

01:23:38.180 --> 01:23:41.700
This time you won't be writing
in the first person, okay?

01:23:52.510 --> 01:23:54.250
You see, a person's life ...

01:23:56.660 --> 01:23:59.840
doesn't just fit into your stupid thin book.

01:24:05.010 --> 01:24:09.090
Summer break is almost over.

01:24:10.130 --> 01:24:12.220
Come back next time.

01:24:13.280 --> 01:24:14.600
Sure.

01:24:17.150 --> 01:24:18.400
I still ...

01:24:18.400 --> 01:24:19.000
Yes?

01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:25.120
I still want to stay here with you ...

01:24:26.510 --> 01:24:29.010
for a little while longer.

01:24:32.490 --> 01:24:37.030
I'd like to stay with you for
a little while longer.

01:24:38.030 --> 01:24:39.260
What about school?

01:24:44.030 --> 01:24:45.930
It'd be good if I could be transferred
to your school here.

01:24:45.930 --> 01:24:46.930
What do you think?

01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:53.630
I'd be glad if you really did so, but ...

01:24:53.630 --> 01:24:56.040
Are you ...

01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:00.370
Are you worried about me?

01:25:01.980 --> 01:25:02.990
Yes, maybe I am.

01:25:05.350 --> 01:25:06.510
Don't be like this.

01:25:07.220 --> 01:25:10.410
You don't have to worry about me at all.

01:25:11.680 --> 01:25:14.530
Your worries, on the contrary ...

01:25:16.530 --> 01:25:20.480
it will be a burden for me, won't it?

01:25:20.480 --> 01:25:23.360
I mean, of course, it's been
fun having you around.

01:25:24.090 --> 01:25:28.440
But you could come and visit when
you're free by the weekends.

01:25:29.770 --> 01:25:32.190
And you can come to play with me.

01:25:34.900 --> 01:25:36.900
I don't want to go to school.

01:25:57.520 --> 01:25:58.990
Can you autograph this book for me?

01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:20.660
Thank you.

01:26:33.810 --> 01:26:35.570
Is this book good?

01:26:39.030 --> 01:26:40.420
I don't know, either.

01:26:42.790 --> 01:26:44.090
I'll read it.

01:26:47.510 --> 01:26:48.640
Want to come in?

01:26:52.150 --> 01:26:52.890
No, thanks.

01:29:16.410 --> 01:29:18.120
- It's so hot.
- It sure is.

01:29:20.520 --> 01:29:22.030
Wait up!

01:29:24.550 --> 01:29:25.250
Sorry ...

01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:27.590
Are you guys ...

01:29:31.300 --> 01:29:33.080
Are you Mr. Kyoshiro?

01:29:37.710 --> 01:29:41.930
Are you Mr. Otosaka Kyoshiro?

01:29:44.190 --> 01:29:44.890
Yes.

01:29:47.580 --> 01:29:52.350
I'm Ayumi, Tono Misaki's daughter.

01:29:54.900 --> 01:29:56.340
- Who wrote those letters?
-Yeah.

01:29:56.340 --> 01:29:58.590
You're the one who wrote those letters?

01:29:58.590 --> 01:29:59.790
Cool!

01:29:59.790 --> 01:30:02.420
I never thought we'd see you here.

01:30:02.420 --> 01:30:06.090
I'm Yuri's daughter, my name is Soyoka.

01:30:09.070 --> 01:30:13.070
You two look so much like them.

01:30:13.070 --> 01:30:14.770
I didn't think I would see you two here.

01:30:17.710 --> 01:30:18.510
But ...

01:30:20.340 --> 01:30:24.120
how do you guys know about me?

01:30:24.120 --> 01:30:28.850
I wrote letters to you on
behalf of my mom.

01:30:31.090 --> 01:30:32.580
I'm sorry.

01:30:32.780 --> 01:30:34.580
I'm sorry.

01:30:39.130 --> 01:30:41.370
I see.

01:30:41.370 --> 01:30:42.370
So, it's been you two.

01:30:45.750 --> 01:30:46.920
The truth is ...

01:30:50.910 --> 01:30:54.130
It's about my mom.

01:30:55.230 --> 01:30:56.640
I've heard about Misaki.

01:30:58.480 --> 01:30:59.440
Yuri told me.

01:31:00.980 --> 01:31:02.260
My mom?

01:31:05.940 --> 01:31:08.160
May I have a few minutes of your time?

01:31:10.510 --> 01:31:12.240
Why don't you come over to my place?

01:31:16.160 --> 01:31:19.660
I'd like you to pay respect to my mom.

01:31:26.610 --> 01:31:27.400
Please come in.

01:31:29.060 --> 01:31:31.020
No one at home?

01:31:31.020 --> 01:31:35.130
Our grandparents are out,
they'll be back late today.

01:31:35.130 --> 01:31:36.690
Come in.

01:31:36.690 --> 01:31:37.790
Sorry to bug.

01:32:18.460 --> 01:32:21.310
We don't have any recent photos of her.

01:32:21.310 --> 01:32:24.590
We only have the old one.

01:32:24.590 --> 01:32:26.590
The only photo we could find.

01:32:50.370 --> 01:32:52.540
She committed suicide.

01:32:56.110 --> 01:32:57.670
I know.

01:32:58.670 --> 01:33:00.670
Yuri told me.

01:33:02.790 --> 01:33:04.640
By the time I got to the hospital

01:33:06.750 --> 01:33:09.240
my mom has already passed away.

01:33:11.670 --> 01:33:14.520
We decided to not tell others that
she committed suicide.

01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:16.720
We told others she died by illness.

01:33:18.360 --> 01:33:21.970
Because she hadn't been well,
people believe it.

01:33:22.570 --> 01:33:24.960
That's why we didn't mention
the true incident.

01:33:27.450 --> 01:33:30.630
The adults thought it would
give a bad impression

01:33:30.630 --> 01:33:34.130
if we told others it was a suicide.

01:33:35.990 --> 01:33:37.230
It's ...

01:33:38.240 --> 01:33:40.690
as if she'd done something bad.

01:33:43.110 --> 01:33:44.510
I hate it.

01:33:47.590 --> 01:33:48.280
My mom ...

01:33:51.240 --> 01:33:53.360
She didn't do anything bad.

01:34:01.590 --> 01:34:02.740
I'm sorry.

01:34:07.800 --> 01:34:09.170
I'm piling this on you.

01:34:10.610 --> 01:34:14.300
How can I say that to someone
I've met for the first time?

01:34:17.370 --> 01:34:18.210
No.

01:34:20.540 --> 01:34:21.390
It's okay.

01:34:24.150 --> 01:34:25.610
I'm so sorry.

01:34:28.170 --> 01:34:31.940
Do you mind if I get
a minute alone with her?

01:34:35.070 --> 01:34:35.680
Okay.

01:34:38.180 --> 01:34:39.110
Thanks.

01:34:39.110 --> 01:34:41.110
Soyoka.

01:35:14.910 --> 01:35:15.650
Hey!

01:35:18.200 --> 01:35:19.460
Do you have a minute?

01:35:20.990 --> 01:35:21.760
What is it?

01:35:22.410 --> 01:35:25.430
I'm supposed to write a graduate student
representative's speech draft.

01:35:25.720 --> 01:35:27.890
But I don't know what to write.

01:35:27.890 --> 01:35:28.920
Help me write it, okay?

01:35:31.930 --> 01:35:33.610
We'll figure it out together.

01:35:46.650 --> 01:35:48.710
It's actually pretty well written.

01:35:48.710 --> 01:35:50.870
But, I'm not satisfied with it yet.

01:35:51.570 --> 01:35:52.920
Why did you ask for my help?

01:35:53.560 --> 01:35:55.750
Because you're such a good writer.

01:35:56.530 --> 01:35:57.690
No, I'm not.

01:35:58.220 --> 01:35:59.340
You're really good at writing.

01:35:59.340 --> 01:36:01.530
No one has ever told me that before.

01:36:03.110 --> 01:36:05.830
Didn't you write those love
letters yourself?

01:36:10.320 --> 01:36:13.180
Of course I did, I wrote it myself.

01:36:25.410 --> 01:36:26.340
Like this?

01:36:29.970 --> 01:36:30.630
How's it?

01:36:36.340 --> 01:36:39.000
It doesn't make much difference, though.

01:36:39.260 --> 01:36:40.280
But it's really nice.

01:36:45.540 --> 01:36:46.360
Is it?

01:36:47.620 --> 01:36:48.520
Which part?

01:36:50.700 --> 01:36:52.400
I can't explain it ...

01:36:52.400 --> 01:36:54.800
but it all sounds nice.

01:36:58.580 --> 01:36:59.710
Superb.

01:37:03.690 --> 01:37:06.580
You'd make a great novelist, I'm sure.

01:37:18.620 --> 01:37:21.370
(To Ayumi)

01:37:59.010 --> 01:38:02.890
I wrote this book.

01:38:06.820 --> 01:38:08.700
What's it called?

01:38:10.500 --> 01:38:13.400
Misaki.

01:38:13.400 --> 01:38:15.400
It's Auntie Misaki's name.

01:38:20.620 --> 01:38:22.490
I've read it.

01:38:25.630 --> 01:38:28.050
The writer is Otosaka Kyoshiro.

01:38:29.170 --> 01:38:33.300
When I got the letter, I knew it right away.

01:38:33.300 --> 01:38:35.810
I thought that'd be the writer of this book.

01:38:40.710 --> 01:38:41.880
Would you ...

01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:47.360
Would you mind if I asked you to
autograph it for me?

01:38:56.550 --> 01:39:02.080
Is my mom the main
character in this book?

01:39:04.040 --> 01:39:05.040
Yes.

01:39:06.460 --> 01:39:07.540
You know ...

01:39:12.500 --> 01:39:13.440
I ...

01:39:15.610 --> 01:39:17.410
I read that book after
I had read all of these.

01:39:39.270 --> 01:39:41.040
Do you remember these?

01:39:44.310 --> 01:39:46.960
It features the same content as this book.

01:39:48.340 --> 01:39:49.590
It's not just a coincidence, is it?

01:39:54.530 --> 01:39:58.120
You had read them all, too?

01:40:08.370 --> 01:40:11.190
Are these your high school love letters?

01:40:13.530 --> 01:40:15.790
Those all were my mother's prized possession.

01:40:30.750 --> 01:40:31.990
Back in those days ...

01:40:34.290 --> 01:40:36.100
every chapter was like writing a letter to her.

01:40:37.850 --> 01:40:41.540
Every time I finished one chapter

01:40:42.950 --> 01:40:44.110
I would send it to her.

01:40:49.490 --> 01:40:52.460
Because it's a novel I wrote for her.

01:40:57.960 --> 01:40:59.320
So, I wanted ...

01:41:01.230 --> 01:41:03.100
her to be the first one to read it.

01:41:10.140 --> 01:41:11.390
Did Misaki ...

01:41:13.210 --> 01:41:14.190
Did she ...

01:41:15.090 --> 01:41:16.410
Did she read them?

01:41:17.850 --> 01:41:19.060
She did.

01:41:20.690 --> 01:41:21.980
She had read them all the times.

01:41:25.380 --> 01:41:26.410
Many times.

01:41:30.190 --> 01:41:31.260
So had I.

01:41:32.990 --> 01:41:34.380
I had read them a few times, too.

01:41:36.150 --> 01:41:39.480
I could feel ...

01:41:42.050 --> 01:41:44.360
all the love you had for my mom.

01:41:49.310 --> 01:41:50.450
Even though ...

01:41:51.790 --> 01:41:53.240
there were ...

01:41:58.320 --> 01:41:59.810
many hard times.

01:42:06.250 --> 01:42:08.920
The man who wrote a novel about a girl
modeled after my mom.

01:42:11.020 --> 01:42:13.920
I had always thought that he would ...

01:42:17.310 --> 01:42:18.810
he would someday ...

01:42:22.500 --> 01:42:32.170
come and take my mom away.

01:42:36.140 --> 01:42:37.340
I had always thought so.

01:42:41.900 --> 01:42:42.690
I felt ...

01:42:46.340 --> 01:42:48.320
we had worked very hard
to overcome that.

01:42:57.930 --> 01:43:00.730
Although I wish you could
have come sooner.

01:43:18.240 --> 01:43:20.640
I'm sure my mom would be happy, too.

01:44:12.560 --> 01:44:13.700
What's wrong?

01:44:14.860 --> 01:44:16.100
I ...

01:44:17.710 --> 01:44:19.440
I have a crush on someone.

01:44:28.330 --> 01:44:33.100
The moment I realized
I liked that person ...

01:44:34.120 --> 01:44:35.350
was in June.

01:44:37.620 --> 01:44:39.570
He sits next to me.

01:44:42.090 --> 01:44:44.650
When summer break came ...

01:44:45.930 --> 01:44:52.190
my feelings for him just kept growing.

01:44:53.870 --> 01:44:55.600
And after summer break ...

01:44:56.070 --> 01:44:58.630
I'm scared if I met him again in class

01:44:58.730 --> 01:45:01.200
my face would be bright red.

01:45:07.250 --> 01:45:08.300
What is this?

01:45:13.000 --> 01:45:16.210
Is that why you don't want
to go back to school?

01:45:18.820 --> 01:45:19.510
That is.

01:45:24.340 --> 01:45:26.880
Why are you laughing?

01:45:27.200 --> 01:45:31.290
I knew I shouldn't have told you.

01:45:31.290 --> 01:45:33.510
No, it's okay.

01:45:35.510 --> 01:45:36.430
You get it wrong.

01:45:36.430 --> 01:45:37.430
That's why ...

01:45:38.010 --> 01:45:39.070
That's why ...

01:45:44.750 --> 01:45:48.110
I've decided I'll go back to school.

01:45:52.060 --> 01:45:53.220
I'm going back home tomorrow.

01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:59.650
When I was listening to your story earlier,

01:46:00.490 --> 01:46:01.980
I felt so ashamed.

01:46:02.750 --> 01:46:05.340
I'm just nothing with a small hitch.

01:46:05.630 --> 01:46:09.960
So, I'd do my best and be brave
enough to go to school.

01:46:14.570 --> 01:46:15.310
I see.

01:46:25.340 --> 01:46:28.990
So, what's that book about?

01:46:29.630 --> 01:46:31.640
The novel, “Misaki.”

01:46:32.590 --> 01:46:34.800
I put it over there on the bookshelf,
read it yourself.

Stop!

01:46:47.890 --> 01:46:50.530
I'm going to read it now.
No spoilers.

01:46:57.680 --> 01:47:01.650
<i>I was being pushed by the warmth
of the early spring breeze.</i>

01:47:03.250 --> 01:47:05.890

excitement in my heart.</i>

01:47:10.730 --> 01:47:13.340

01:47:15.170 --> 01:47:16.910

<i>“Make your dream come true”</i>

You have to go back.

01:47:33.160 --> 01:47:34.470
I will be all alone.

01:47:44.420 --> 01:47:46.050
I'm back.

01:47:47.830 --> 01:47:49.690
What's happening?

01:47:50.020 --> 01:47:51.450
I'm back.

01:47:51.450 --> 01:47:54.280
You should have contacted us first.

01:47:58.940 --> 01:48:00.900
Ayumi ...

01:48:00.900 --> 01:48:02.200
She is doing fine.

01:48:05.100 --> 01:48:06.170
She is fine.

Sorry, it's not open yet.

I'm going back to Tokyo.

Ah, you're going back.

01:48:51.780 --> 01:48:55.450
Thanks for everything.

01:48:55.450 --> 01:48:58.150
You don't need to.
I did nothing.

01:49:00.130 --> 01:49:04.270
Well, I brought you something.

01:49:04.270 --> 01:49:06.360
You shouldn't have.

01:49:07.870 --> 01:49:08.520
Here is it.

01:49:20.460 --> 01:49:22.320
Did you visit our high school?

01:49:22.670 --> 01:49:23.410
I did.

01:49:24.350 --> 01:49:26.290
Thank you so much.

These photos ...

01:49:35.320 --> 01:49:36.990
They were the local kids.

01:49:37.500 --> 01:49:38.870
I ran into them at school.

01:49:40.080 --> 01:49:42.160
This is my daughter.

01:49:42.460 --> 01:49:44.610

I came to your parents' house.

01:49:58.190 --> 01:49:59.410
Thanks to them

01:50:00.880 --> 01:50:03.420
I was able to offer Misaki incense.

01:50:06.690 --> 01:50:08.380
I see, you met them.

01:50:10.510 --> 01:50:12.210
That's great.

01:50:13.840 --> 01:50:16.440
I talked with them a lot.

01:50:17.630 --> 01:50:18.990
What did you guys talk about?

01:50:20.690 --> 01:50:23.590
All kinds of things.

01:50:29.790 --> 01:50:31.110

I have the power to write again.

01:50:51.430 --> 01:50:53.600
