Aki's voice became hoarse and unbearable
For the future Sakutarou Matsumoto
That's a sound I wish to forget
I like you, Saku
Even if it's meaningless to others
But other than me
Who else can stop the time with Aki
Because god only gave Aki a short period
of time to reunite with a useless me
In future...
I'll just spend the days quietly
You want to change the beneficiate?
Yes
I'll process it as quickly as possible
Yes...
Yes, I'm sorry
Miss Kobayashi
Today I want everyone to do a painting entitled "Summer"
A little friend named Kazuki, Don't paint anything deceiving
Then they just fought
Kazuki
I didn't lie
I know
Mother
Saku can't be my father?
Maybe it won't be that blissful
Saku has someone he likes very much
Feeling envious?
But he'll come for my birthday right?
Really hope that he could come
I've no idea how long it's been since that day
Hello, I'm Aki Hirose
Play, Rewind
You must be shocked by the sudden change
Play, Rewind I was shocked too
I remained in a warm world filled with Aki's voice
Then she recovered and returned to class
She's still rehearsing for the Juliet role now
Aki, Why are you alive?
Aki
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
Aki Hirose Aki Hirose, right, let him go
Aki...
She suddenly fainted Aki...
Aki, she...
Aki...
Alright, let her lie down, done?
Aki...
The number of white blood cells
count in a normal person is around 7 to 8 thousand
You daughter's count is more than 3 times that of normal
What does this means?
Acute leukemia Blood Cancer
Are you sure?
Is 2 pieces not enough?
Let me go instead
Sorry
That's...
These are Aki's stuffs
Excuse me, Is Aki alright?
I'm very worried about her
Bro, You're not eating?
Sakutarou
Hirose's father called
He said Aki's been hospitalized
He wants you to stop dating her
Hospitalized? Which hospital?
How could I bring myself to ask
You actually forced other's daughter to accompany you on a holiday?
It's not brother's fault... No
We cannot find excuses
I've already apologized to them on your behalf
Stop giving others trouble
Is she awake?
Father's been here all along?
Good Morning
I want to make a call to mother
Father
It's not Saku's fault
It was I who wasn't well but went ahead with them
Seems like so
Hello, I'm Aki Hirose
You must be shocked by the sudden change
I was shocked too
Sorry to have troubled you
What does "Clean Unit" means
Because your body's immunity has weakened
That's why you have to stay in a bacteria free environment
Excuse me...
Is this called
Simply put it as your bone marrow
is lazy and is not producing blood normally
Is that very serious?
You've to stay in hospital temporarily
Approximately how long?
You must be mentally prepared
It's might be the whole of the summer holidays
Are you serious?
We have to stop visitings for now
Don't give that look
You must play your part to recover
Mother
That's...
Can you pass that to Saku?
I don't know whether he'll like it
Thank You
What can he do even if he listens to it
They still can't meet
Well? Expressions' the most important
In the end,
I was completely unable to contact Aki's family
Aki's been hospitalized?
Nobody knows about her condition
There should be some news next semester
Finally I still couldn't see her
And a month just went by?
Did you pass the tape to Saku for me?
He has no reply at all?
He's making a wish silently
In order to get a good omen,
He deliberately cut short the message on the tape
and prayed that you'll be discharged soon
Really?
Do you doubt him?
I thought he's got another girlfriend
He kept asking about you
Really?
I told him that you'll be going back really soon
You must buck up
Tomorrow's the beginning of the new semester
When is Hirose coming back?
Don't look so glum
Akiraryou Nagakawa
Yes
Please take off your cap in class
Take off?
Yes
Stop laughing
This is a very serious matter
During the summer holidays,
Nakagawa changed the pronunciation of his name
He used to be called Akiyoushi Akiyoushi
Because he was going to inherit his family's temple
From now on, he'll be called Kenryou Kenryou
Serious?
It's still not decided yet
What's the fuss? I only changed the pronunciation
And...
Another more serious matter
Hirose has been hospitalized
Hospitalized?
I've already visited her
Which... Which hospital is she staying at
Due to her family's request, I cannot disclose the location
But Hirose her claimed that She'll be right back to school
Don't want everyone to worry
But she might not be able to participate in the School play
Let's just change another to play Juliet
Who then?
Ikeda Kumi
Really?
Let her do it?
Saku, Seems like you're sick as well?
Stop eating other's stuff
He got ditched because he was too mean
Idiot, Western Headed
Mind you own business, Freak
Forget it, suit yourself
Let me tell you a good news
I heard that someone saw Aki's mother at the
Inashiro Integrated Hospital
I only wished to say one thing Please call me lover
Where's the one in charge of production?
I think it's not too nice that he's not around
This is meaningless
The script can be read at home too
Let's just get on with it
Inashiro Integrated Hospital
Excuse me, I'm fine now.
I'm getting better right?
Really?
Good
Are you alright
She practically didn't sleep at all
Aki's trying very hard too
It's you, coming over instead of going to class
You haven't been sleeping right?
May I ask...
Excuse me
Please let me see Aki
Sorry, she's unable to see anyone right now
I just want to take a look at her
Sorry
It's already been a month, Is her condition really so serious?
Can you please go back?
I'm willing to do anything
As long as I'm able to do it, I'll do anything
Don't think it's really so simple
May I ask...
She's got leukemia
What can you do?
If you've understood, please leave
I'm Sakutarou Mastsumoto
Hello, I'm Aki Hirose
Sorry about the last time
That's right
But I still hope to explain to you
That to me is really a most depressing incident
If I lose you
It will be most painful to me
I like you, Saku
I like you most
I miss you, Saku
This is from year 2 class D's Romeo
I wish to write about My classmate A.H.
She's contacted Leukemia
The postcards that I've written Has been read by you program before
Actually it wasn't Leukemia
I was... Mistaken
Later she recovered and returned to class
Now she's even rehearsing for the Juliet role
To see her chatting happily with her classmates
And her putting in her utmost effort in her other school activities
Her past illness was just like a dream
In this case...
She'll probably outlive anybody else
Matsumoto
Do we need to select another producer as well?
Are we going to act or not?
Saku's haven't been present for 4 days now
Did you hear anything from him, Tomoyo?
Did something happen to them?
Saku and Aki...
What's wrong with you?
That guy's just too lousy
He just dumped everything with Hirose's absence
Hirose won't be happy about it too
You should at least come to school
Do you know how's Hirose's condition?
She has so many symptoms
But I was totally oblivious to them
And even asked if there's anything I could do
I'm totally helpless
All you can do is just hide in weep
Are you going to show this face to Hirose as well?
If I were her parents I wouldn't let you meet too
A coward like you
Thanks for you patronage 1260 Yen
Sakutarou, Everyone's here
2 thousand yen
If you want to redevelop, please come anytime
Hurry up
Juliet suddenly shrunk on a certain day
Why's it changed?
Too much Characters
Romeo and Juliet
That's...
You're not needed anymore
I'll be in charge of the production
Saku's presence will agitate everyone instead
We've decided, man
We are going to perform a play
that will let the whole school burst with laughter
And let Hirose have a good look
Right?
She must've been bored in the hospital
And there's nothing to do
If I can be successful in this play
Hirose might even fall in love with me once again
How bout you man
How do you want to do it?
That's...
I'm neither a doctor
Nor her parents
The only thing
That I can do for her
Only thing I can do for Aki
Stop kidding
That's... That's my job
Why must you deliberately discuss this here
It's hurts, It's hurts
Come on, Romeo and Juliet
Everyone...
This time I wish to do
a tradition surpassing version of Romeo and Juliet
But there's only 3 pages of script
It will increase subsequently in future
I don't want to dress up like a Sumo Wrestler
Then you don't have to act, I'll do it
This will give everyone a lot of problems
To be manipulated by you childish games of friendship
One moment he's giving up
Turn around and he's so enthusiastic about it
That's right
Let's just do it for the sake of my head.
What's this got to do with your head?
I...
I think this is interesting
Doesn't everybody feels so?
True also
Shakespeare is indeed not very interesting
That's it for now, let's try it
I'll be responsible for doing it well
Story is
There's 2 Sumo Club from opposing 2 High Schools
Romeo Fuji and Juliet Fell into a forbidden romance
That's it
Excuse Me
Both Romeo and Juliet will be played by boys
Really?
That... Kissing Scene?
Why must I play play Romeo
Didn't you volunteered the last time? Besides, Suke will play Juliet
I'm not in your class
Suke, be more refine
His graceful limbs The fundamental moves of Sumo
Just like a fairy doing sumo
That's out of the point
It hurts, can't get it on
My hair's all flattened Not bad at all
Not bad...
Not bad?
Be serious
Hang it here
Matsumoto
Yes
Hirose seems able to see visitors now
She's changed to a bigger room, you've been making great efforts
Yes
I can lead a normal life from today onwards
Mother, give me ten dollars
I want to make a call to Saku
That's great, the plastic cover's been taken off
Father
That's...
I think father might have misunderstood Saku
He is a really good boy
Father will definitely like him if they meet
I suppose
That's...
I've found the only thing I can do for Aki
Please let me meet her
I'm begging you
I'll go as I please
I hope to get your approval
Because you are Aki's father
You might really just be a good boy...
Why must Aki face such a bitter encounter
It's all my fault
Or was it Aki's fault?
At least it's not your fault
Therefore...
I can only choose to hate you
Otherwise I'll not be able to hold on
I'm sorry about the other time
We're all spiritually drained
I understand
You are definitely...
Many hundred times more
harsh on yourselves
Are you willing to meet her?
Is she well?
Aki...
Today...
I better not see her
I wish to be more prepared before I meet her
Can i... Ask a favor from you?
I hope to let Aki
see our Romeo and Juliet
Everyone's putting in a lot of effort rehearsing
Although i...
I'm too occupied to go over
Why?
Why is it that only Saku can't come?
Because he's in charge of the whole production,
He'll be dead beat on the previous day
I see...
Grandpa
Please watch over Aki
If Aki leaves
Many people will be sad
Grandpa
Although you like Aki a lot
Please don't take her away
You're really not going?
We'll visit her on your behalf
Let's go
Alright
Welcome
Thanks for visiting me
Hirose
Tomoyo
This is great, you seems to be in good sprits
Sorry to have let you worried
Hi
Thank you for visiting my daughter
The setting will be the sumo ring of the 2 prestigious Sumo Clubs
Cupid school The story of Juliet's forbidden love
Great
Push...
That's right
Tomorrow will be the day of the fight
What's the next dialogue
Get ready that thing
That's the one, that one...
That what?
Matsu
Who's that? That graceful limbs
Just like a fairy doing sumo
You are not looking at all
He's the newly joint fresh man
And also the Juliet from Cupid school
Even if he's the thump card
He'll be no match for Romeo
It's unbearable...
I'm Sakutarou Matsumoto's father
It's all my stupid son's fault the last time
I'm really sorry
Don't mention it
This is for you
Your daughter's expression's very bright
Please have a look
May I ask...
I never knew my daughter's can be so blissful
To be reminded like this is really unpleasant
Sorry
Alright
That's...
I've to go to work
The only thing I can do is to pay for the hospital expenses
She's in the last room on the 4th floor
Saku
I'll accompany everyone to the lift
That play was really interesting
Really very interesting
Very interesting...
I almost cried
But I know can't cry
So interesting, I really enjoyed myself
Because if I cried
Certainly...
Aki will definitely be unable to cry to her heart's content
Please call it again?
Call "Saku" again
Saku
Once more
Saku
Once more
Saku
I'm willing to do anything for the sound of this
Why didn't you reply my tape recording
Sorry
I had to keep listening to the old tape
Sorry
Are the school activities more important
Have you had a change of heart?
If it can let Aki open up her smile
I rather not smile again in my life
If Aki wishes to cry
I can hold my tears for life
If someone wants me to die in Aki's stead
I'll happily die for her
That day,
I sincerely thought this way
I have no other wish right now
to turn into ashes with Aki
is my wish
For someone like me
am I still alive or dead
In fact I know the answer
Since 17 years ago
I kept running from it because I was afraid
running from this only answer
Year 1987 I couldn't save the only person I Love
Year 1991, The establishment of Japan's first bone marrow bank
