I..
have decided to die.
Goodbye.
Why are you losing?
I..
am a weakling.
That's why I understand Sosuke's weakness.
For now, I want to be beside him.
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me.
There's nothing to do anymore.
Those in a hurry to go home should just go.
Come on, let's drink.
What? Wai.. But is it OK to leave her alone? Isn't it dangerous?
She left on her own accord, there's nothing we can do about it.
Sosuke!
Sosuke..
Sosuke?
Welcome home.
Get your cellphone out.
Your cellphone.
I'll buy you a new one.
Michiru.
You are..
mine.
Let's go on living together, the two of us.
I won't let anyone hinder us.
Let's go to another bar.
We're almost home.
So let's drink at home!
Takeru, you're a bartender, so
bring out the sake!
I got it.
Though Ruka's always so stern
she occasionally becomes like this when she drinks.
Like a kid?
"Once upon a time.."
"inside the forest.."
Wait! Why are the lights on?
Oh, true.
Here, we're here.
Ogurin!
Heeey. Welcome home.
Here, drink some water.
Thanks.
So? What are you going to do?
Oh, well..
if I could stay here again for a while it would be of great help.
Are you separating from your wife?
Oh. Well that..
well..
not yet.
I mean, well..
I talked with my wife and
it was decided that we have a legal separation for a while as an experiment.
That's sly.
Because you're lonely you rely on Eri now
If your wife tells you to go to her, you'd go back wagging your tail, wouldn't you?
Are you going to live here with no resolution whatsoever?
Think about Eri's feelings for once!
Ruka! Ruka it's OK.
I.. I myself need to
make my own feelings clear about the future, and
Just, what will happen?
It's OK, isn't it?
I'm fine with it, whatever.
If it's just about staying, then you can stay here.
Eri?
Can I?
Yes.
Not knowing the future, right?
It's common sense in human relationships.
Well, at first, Ogurin just grew on me like hair.
It's OK like this.
Well, rather than both of not being here, I'd feel happier if we were.
Thank you.
It's OK, right?
If Eri says so, then it's fine by me.
Thank you!
I'm more worried about Michiru-chan rather than this though.
You're right. Hey, is it really OK to leave her like this?
It's OK.
She's OK.

Michiru.
If we hadn't had that reunion that day
I would have surely been living a life without you.
I wouldn't have known about and suffered because of your love and agonies.
If only I could go back in time.
I would be better off thinking I was alone just as I'd been up until then.
It's simple really.
Because, that's how I've lived so far.
Ready!?
One pair.
pig pig pig
No! The coffee's coming.
Hurry up.
OK.
OK, distribute.
OK.
Do it properly.
Here. 3 4..
1 2 3..
Hey stop that. You're confusing everything.
You just don't know 5, do you!
Ohh, what a good hand! I will definitely not lose.
1 2 3 4, right!
Hey, talk normally; that tone sounds like you're possessed.
This is strategy; with this there's no way you can read my face.
What's with that.
Thanks.
Thank you.
By the way..
I wonder how Michiru-chan is doing.
We haven't heard from her.
Ruka, did you try to call her cellphone?
No.
Well, I have.
And?
There was no connection.
That number is no longer in use.
Eri, I can see your hand.
Let's start already.
Even if we think of this we can't do anything about it.
Ruka.
I wonder why..
your feelings,
I always
understand them as if I could take them in my hand.
Takeru.
Yes?... Oh!
Excuse me, is Aida-san here?
Aida has quit.
Taking days off without permission, going home early..
it was just troublesome for us too.
It feels like we were saved by her quitting.
I see.
Michiru-chan?
Welcome.
It's OK.
He's at work so he can't come.
I made sure a little while ago.
You quit the salon, didn't you.
What about your cellphone?
You changed it..
because he told you to.
What are you doing everyday?
Things like making meals
doing the laundry, ironing..
watching TV.
Once every 2 hours
he calls home.
I have to go home!
Wait!
What happened to your eye?
Sit down.
May I?
Why did he do this!?
It took me 2 hours to do grocery shopping for dinner.
I didn't make it home before he did.
It was my fault.
I was careless.
If you were the one to choose
to go back to him, I thought it was OK.
But this kind of life is indecent.
You need to get away from this fast.
But..
I think this is for the best.
This is the best way
to avoid troubling anyone.
That's not true.
That is absolutely not true.
Hello?
Where are you?
Why aren't you home?
I called the home phone..
It took me a while to take out the trash.
Get back home quick.
And, you don't have to make dinner.
I'll buy something on the way home.
OK.
Michiru-chan.
Let's run away now.
You've endured enough.
He won't ever change. You know that, don't you?
But..
If you're not there
even if he gets hurt, he's at fault.
Berating you like this, he's the one at fault.
You are not to blame.
Let's go back to the share house.
Everyone's worried.
Ruka too..
is waiting.
What's wrong!?
Just run!
- What's wrong!? - Just run!
Michiru-chan.
Quick.
Quick, just drive off!
Oh, yes.
Michiru! Michiru!
Come on! Quick, drive off!
Michiru!
We're closed tonight so, stay here for now.
There's a blanket. If it's just for one night I think we'll manage somehow.
Thank you.
It's dangerous to go immediately back to the share house.
You'll be fine.
There is surely a way to protect you.
Let's go the hospital tomorrow.
If we can get a medical certificate from the doctor
and have proof you've undergone ill-treatment
it would be a legal motive to keep him away.
Takeru-kun.
Yes?
About this..
don't tell Ruka yet.
I don't want her to worry.
OK.
Has your family ever talked to you about this?
My father..
wishes I, as a girl, get normally married and find happiness.
I can see that even if he doesn't tell me.
If I told him the truth I think he'd get hurt.
For sure.
But, inside you're gathering just as much suffering, aren't you?
If there was at least one person you could open up to
not necessarily a family member, a close friend would be OK too
that would know the true you
and still accept you without being surprised.
It might be good to try and talk to them.
Yes, hello?
Hello?
Who is it?
Mama.
Sister.
[note: neesan = older sister]
Welcome home.
I'm home.
I'll make some coffee.
Takeru..
Yes?
I don't want it after all. Sorry.
Where's Michiru?
She's not here.
Where did you hide her?
You exerted violence on her
kept watching her actions and confined her at home.
All of that is law-violating conduct.
If you ever
get near her or coerce her into anything
I'll call the police.
Even at your place of work
I will place my complaints.
I will never hand her over to you.
Please, leave.
Takeru-kun.
Yes?
I'll help.
You've considerably regained your strength.
The bruise has become inconspicuous too.
Really?
Yes.
Let's go back to the share house.
What?
I'm sure everyone will be happy.
I'm home.
Hey, welcome home.
You know..
I'd like everyone to look this way.
To have come back
is not just me.
Michiru-chan.
Michiru-chan!
You've come back!
I tried asking for her address at the beauty salon.
Then, when I went there...
she had an all-around-the-clock guard on her actions
and wasn't allowed to go out.
It was really horrible.
I couldn't just watch.
I'm being a little pushy but, I brought her here.
You're not pushy at all.
It's natural. Well done, Takeru.
Yes. Oh, but.. it might be dangerous here,
since he knows this place.
He might come, like he did last time, and take her away.
If that happens, we can all protect Michiru-chan.
You're right.
If Michiru-chan is alone she'd feel helpless.
If he comes we'll repel him together.
Yeah. We'll manage somehow.
Ruka.
Ruka?
It's OK, right?
Yeah..
it's fine.
Thank you.
Everyone..
I'll be in your care once more.
Stop it! There's no need for formalities.
That's right!
It's been long-awaited so, let's celebrate this reunion with a bottle of wine.
Good idea! Let's open the bottle we got the other day at the department store basement.
Right! Let's drink!
Michiru-chan, sit down.
I'm going to sleep.
What?
I have to get up early tomorrow.
I'm going to bed.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ruka.
Good morning.
Do you have to go to work today?
I have self-training at the gym today.
I pass on breakfast.
What?
How about getting at least a cup of coffee?
I'm off.
I'm off too. Thank you for the food.
What?
Ruka!
I'm off.
Hey, wait wait. Wait!
Let's talk on the way to the station.
OK? Come on! Get off!
I got it.
Hey, why are you angry?
I'm not angry.
Do you disagree with Michiru-chan's indecisiveness?
Her breaking-up then getting back with that guy.
I said I'm not.
I understand her though.
A person isn't simply black or white.
Even useless guys have cute things about them.
Eri, are you allowing Ogurin to sleep in your room again?
Well, sometimes.
I really don't get that lenience in you.
Though you don't know when he'll be gone you forgive him.
The one to get hurt later is you, isn't it.
Aren't you scared of that?
I'm not that weak.
And I'm not expecting that much from Ogurin either.
I see.
Oh, I get it!
That's why you seem to not forgive Michiru-chan.
What?
You really love Michiru-chan, don't you.
[contact ID: Aida Michiru]
Is your mother out again?
Want some pastries?
Is it good?
Yes.
I'm next to the forest park right now
my bike suddenly broke down.
Could you come and fix it, please?
Why? Why should I go that far!?
I can't take it all the way to the repair shop. It's far.
If you come I'll treat you to something delicious.
That's creepy!
Ruka! Over here!
What's this?
You see, the break is all squeaky
I'd like to have it lubricated a little.
Sorry for having you come all the way.
What are you two doing?
And what's with this bicycle!
We're cycling, right!
With this fine weather.
I checked it for the time being.
Oh, and..
this tire's slide feels off.
Could you please get on and check it?
It's moving normally.
Oh, you're right!
OK! All aboard!
Wait! What are you doing!? What's this!!
Michiru-chan, pedal! Go!
Hey, wait!
Wait, what's going on!?
Wait a second!
Player Kishimoto has been caught up with!
What?
The gap steadily widens!
Son of a bitch! Like I would lose to someone like you!
I'm seriously passing you!
I'll surpass you!!
Wait, Takeru!!
Watch out!
This is the delicious treat? A sandwich?
Yeah, it's good, isn't it!
It's the best under the blue sky, isn't it!
I find it delicious.
I miss this.
The two of us often sneaked out of school and ate lunch at the park.
That's right.
But, I hated school !
And the uniform... all of it !
You always preferred jerseys, right? Ruka.
Would I wear a skirt!
Ruka.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
You get irritated when you see me, don't you?
Staggering and being uncertain.
That's not true.
Michiru.
Did you know?
The reason I turn my eyes away from you is that
I want to gaze at you forever.
The reason I can't be so gentle with you is that
I'm afraid to lose you.
I wish this calm time would continue forever.
If possible, forever.
By the way, honestly what's the situation?
Are you breaking up with him?
When I was with Sosuke
it felt like I was gradually losing myself.
I always gave priority to Sosuke's feelings rather than my own.
Doing that
what am I feeling right now,
what do I like, what do I hate,
what would I really like to do.
I end up not knowing such things.
That way, I grew accustomed to the usual things.
But..
There's something I couldn't stand till the very end.
What?
That he
spoke badly about Ruka.
Really? What does he say?
"That person
is not a woman".
Well.
Well, even being told that, you're hopeless!
Who's side are you on!?
See ya!
Hey, wait a second!
Sorry.
You OK?
[ Kishimoto ]
Oh, welcome.
Here! For Mothers Day.
Thank you for everything.
Ah!
Thank you.
Shougo, aren't you going to play with your friends?
Today I just don't feel like going out, I'll just play video games at home.
Oh, you're here.
Yes.
Good. Well, make yourself comfortable.
Dear.
Yes.
Do you have a second?
What's going on?
We got strange paper in our mailbox.
Paper?
They tried to hide it from me but
I saw it.
Because one paper fell under the mailbox.
Want to see?
Yes.
Your daughter Kishimoto Ruka, with a male heart inside her female body, is a monster.
She looks at the women close to her with disgusting male-l
Inside a woman's a body
a man's heart
perverted mind
is a monster
There are strange people in this world, right?
As I thought you provoke resentment when you enter championships and such.
Yeah.
Father, ask Ruka.
Dad?
Yes?
Do you have a moment?
Yes. Coming.
I heard a strange paper arrived.
Shougo showed it to me.
Shougo, you!
Ruka.
Did you have such things written to you?
Yeah.
Probably because a female rider got a record and entered the championship someone's feeling bitter.
The jealousy of fellow females is terrible.
That's what it's all about.
Did you take it seriously?
'cause I'm a tomboy, right.
That's not true.
I'm always telling you, aren't I!
You constantly use overly rough expressions.
That sort of thing incurs people's hostility too.
OK, OK. I got it.
Welcome home.
I'm back.
I'll get you some coffee.
Oh, want to watch a DVD with me?
I bought it in front of the station, and registered for membership.
Sorry.
I'm tired today.
Oh, I see.
Goodnight.
I'm home.
Michiru-chan?
I'm sorry.
I'll make tea or something.
Do you prefer coffee?
What's the matter?
I don't know.
I myself
don't get it.
I just..
feel lonely for some reason.
I..
wonder if it would be better if I weren't here.
Why?
Ruka
doesn't seem to forgive me.
That's not true.
If you left here
Ruka will be sad.
Extremely sad.
Takeru-kun, you
understand Ruka really well.
I..
sometimes don't understand her.
Sometimes..
I feel a barrier.
A barrier?
With Ruka
we've been friends for a long time
she treasures me.
But..
somewhere inside her heart
there's a barrier
that I can't
break into.
I'm sorry.
I don't really know.
Sorry.
Goodnight.
With an unconcerned face I tell lies
I smile
You heard.
I'm tired of this, I was only trying to be at comfort
I'm going for a walk.
Having the blues for desiring too much
everyone's seeking tranquility
though content they still struggle
chasing after love's shadow
Things like greed and fake courage have become nonsense
since the day I was loved by you
even if I'm free or have my own space, being alone makes it futile
Oh just a little more
Don't you give up
Oh I won't abandon you ever
Takeru.
What Michiru said is true.
I..
created a wall inside my heart
and won't let people in.
The reason for that is
if the real me were known
I'm scared I'd be loathed.
I, up until now,
have something I've hidden from people.
I have a secret I can't tell anyone.
But..
I'd like you to hear it.
Would you listen?
I'm sorry.
Before that there's just one thing
I'd like to tell you.
Can I?
What is it?
When I see you I think so;
that you resemble me.
I too,
when little
something happened,
and lived suffering without telling anyone about it.
But, what I want to tell you right now is not that.
It's something more important.
Ruka.
I..
like you.
If the cruel reality splits us apart
we will pull each other even stronger
I like you.
No matter how much, I felt we could stand firm
NEXT EPISODE
I intend to break up with you, Sosuke.
I want to break up with you.
The person Ruka always loved is..
Though I really loved you
in reality I hated you.
Explain!
There are things I don't want to tell people even if I die.
This is the only place you belong.
I want to become one with you.
I won't abandon you till I die.
