I want you to break up with me.
Are you okay?
I can't think of our future, Megu. That's why I want to break up.
You have ALS?
I'm sorry. Bye.
- Does Megumi-chan know about the disease? - There is no need for me to tell her.
It looks delicious.
I don't know why you broke up with Megu-chan, but...
let's eat this tonight and cheer up, okay?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Your left arm... I hope it will get better soon.
- It will never get better. - Huh?
What do you mean?
Let's eat first.
Sure.
It does look really delicious.
[Symptoms of ALS] [Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]
[Muscle atrophy in arms, fingers, legs] [Emaciated]
[Difficulty in swallowing and speaking]
[Difficulty in breathing]
I'm sorry to surprise you like this.
Yeah.
I haven't even told my parents yet.
But your father is a doctor.
It's not a curable disease.
I just can't do it when I think of how their reactions will be like.
Did you tell this to Megu-chan?
No, I would do anything to avoid her from knowing this.
It's delicious.
I'm glad to see you are doing well.
Thank you for helping me. But I'm okay now.
Stop it, Takuto.
Why? It's okay, isn't it?
- Hey you, be quiet. - Why don't you eat it?
I started walking lately.
When do you do that?
In the morning.
Are you good at waking up early?
So far I've been able to wake up.
Maybe I should start too.
It feels very nice. I totally recommend it.
But I'm not sure if I can continue doing it by myself.
It does feel nice.
- I wonder if you can keep at it. - Why is that?
It's hard for you to come all the way here, isn't it?
This is on my route to work and...
And?
It's a secret. I will tell you eventually.
I will definitely continue. Do you want to bet?
- What are we betting on? - A hundred thousand yen.
What?
I'm kidding.
I know.
I'm pretty tired.
- See you tomorrow. - Yes.
This is my mother.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
My name is Mukai.
He was two years my senior in college.
Thank you for taking care of Megumi.
No, thank you.
Well, excuse me.
The garbage.
What is going on? Why do you get such handsome boys?
- Shige-senpai is just my senior. - I see.
The garbage.
But Takuto-kun is more of my type.
Takuto and I broke up.
I knew it. But why?
- He dumped me. - When?
After he had dinner with you, Mom.
What does that mean?
Who knows?
What? Did I do something wrong?
Do you have any idea?
No, I told him about Dad because he asked me.
Do you think it was a problem?
It's okay, it already happened.
I wonder why Takuto-kun came that day.
Is something wrong?
No, I'm fine.
What is going to be next? My right arm, my legs, or my speech?
You can't tell what's going to be affected, right?
No one can tell that, so it's best for you to not think about it.
It's kind of like a coping method to live with ALS.
Riku-chan.
I'm home.
Something was wrong after all.
What?
About Riku-chan.
The school contacted Dad saying he's been missing class lately.
Oh really?
You didn't notice Riku-chan was acting strange at all?
You don't care about him, do you?
Hey, Takuto.
I know you are seeing someone. Apparently she stays here overnight.
- I'm having a hard time too. - Please don't give me an excuse.
Riku-chan.
I'm home.
Where did you go?
The university, of course.
Please tell me the truth.
I know.
Are you mad?
I'm worried.
Where did you go?
A museum.
A museum? What kind?
- Dinosaur. - Dinosaur?
What about school?
I'll go.
- Why did you skip class? - I said I'll go. Enough already.
Riku-chan, dinner is ready. Takuto.
- Look. - Thank you for the food.
Um, I will eat it later.
- You will? - I'm sorry.
Could it be that you can't eat crabs, big brother?
Why?
Oops, I wasn't supposed to say that.
No, it's not that you weren't supposed to. I said you didn't have to tell her.
- Did something happen? - I can't use my left hand well right now.
Why?
I'm okay. I went to see a doctor too.
Lucky for you, Rikuto. Crabs are your favorite.
Yeah.
- Is it good? - Yeah.
Eat as much as you can.
Thank you for the food.
Riku-chan, I have to go home today, but I'll come back right away.
Do you think Dad is mad?
You are going to school starting today, aren't you?
Yeah.
It will be okay. I will tell him that you said so.
Well, I'm leaving.
Have a good day.
Thank you for the food.
Can you make sure to pay attention to Riku-chan next time?
Leave him alone.
What?
You can leave him alone for such a trivial thing.
A trivial thing?
He wasn't going to school.
If he doesn't go, he won't be able to become a doctor.
- That would be a problem. - A problem for who?
You know that Riku-chan has to succeed Dad's hospital, don't you?
It's best for Riku-chan too.
We worked hard together since he was small so he can become a doctor.
Maybe being a doctor doesn't suit Rikuto.
What?
What are you talking about?
If I were a patient, I wouldn't want to be seen by him.
Why don't you think about your future more instead of Riku-chan's?
Since you can't be a doctor now.
I know you understand.
It's also best for you to work in the administrative office at Dad's hospital.
Are you really paying attention, Mom?
To what?
Nothing.

Please touch it. You will be able to feel the difference in the firmness.
I like it a little bit softer.
How about this one then.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Coils are placed in seven separate sections in this mattress.
It fits to the contour of your body naturally.
Please try it by lying down.
No, the natural look of the wood will definitely sell.
Are you sure you are okay?
I'm sorry.
What do you mean by 'I'm sorry?'
I... I'm sorry.
I'll go check the inventory.
The hand might get cold. Can you put it over?
Tamotsu-san, do you feel any pain?
No.
Hongo-san.
Yes.
Have you ever cared for a patient with ALS?
No, this is my first time.
I'm extremely demanding.
Please prepare for it, okay?
Thank you for the advice.
Tamotsu-san, don't tease a newbie.
Why did Megumi and Takuto break up?
It was a surprise, wasn't it?
Did Takuto-kun say anything to you?
No. Nothing.
How is Megu-chan?
She is pretending to be okay. She started walking.
It must have been a shock to her.
Although she is walking with a guy.
A boyfriend?
No.
Megumi is not looking at him that way, but...
I know he is interested in her.
Apparently he was a senior that Takuto-kun used to look up to the most.
You mean Shige-senpai?
Do you know him? What kind of person is he?
I can say in two words 'super good-looking.'
She doesn't look like it, but Megumi is doing what she needs to do.
But you have more experience than her, right, Hina-chan?
Things like that... and things like this.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
I'm not imagining anything like that.
Do you want to try?
Try what?
I'll let you do it once.
Let's go.
Mamo-chan.
Yes.
Hey.
Yeah.
I don't think I can do it.
What?
I'm too nervous and...
And...
Damn.
I was going over in my head what I read in a book.
A book?
Yeah.
[How to have sex for the first time]
I didn't want to do a poor job.
I wouldn't know if you did a good job or a poor job.
You don't have to try to make me feel better.
It's true.
Because I've never done it either.
What?
I said it.
I haven't even told Megumi.
It's okay because it's you, Mamo-chan.
Seriously?
[How to have sex for the first time]
- What? The same book? - The same.
Nice shot.
Good.
Good one. Nice shot.
You improved a lot.
- One, two , three. - Four.
- One, two. - One, two.
- You are getting better. - I can't do the third one.
One, two. So close.
One, two...
Almost.
Now I know how you look when you are focused.
How do I look?
Should we get going soon?
Yes.
It was more fun than I expected.
More than you expected?
You mean you didn't want to do it?
At first.
But I'm glad that I came.
Watch out.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Yes.
- Be careful. - Thank you very much.
[About ALS]
You are still at it.
I didn't think you would continue for this long.
I told you that I would continue.
It's along my route to work.
And I like you, Megumi-chan.
Thank you very much.
Not that kind of 'like.'
I like you... and I want you to be my girlfriend.
I'm not kidding.
I know.
Good.
Um...
Can I have a little time?
Okay.
The whole sales team will work together and achieve higher sales than last year.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Okay, let's work hard today. - Yes.
Store Manager.
I have been causing a lot of trouble since I can't use my arm.
I would like to explain it properly to everyone.
May I have a moment of their time?
Everyone, Sawada-kun would like to tell you something.
I'm sorry.
Actually I have a disease.
It's a nerve disease called ALS.
- ALS? - I don't know.
There will be more things that I won't be able to do.
So I am hoping that you will be familiar with this disease.
Could you read the description that I wrote?
Could you hand these out?
Please.
[About ALS] [What is ALS]
[The symptoms of ALS]
[My current symptoms]
We will move you facing up slowly.
- Yes. - Ready?
Ow...
It hurts. The hip, the hip.
- Let's move his hip. - The hip.
Can you hold his hip?
We are moving it. Ready?
- Ouch. - Is this good?
The legs.
Hongo-san. The legs.
Hongo-san, can you put a pillow underneath?
Yes.
- The left leg too. - Yes.
How is it?
We spent 30 minutes just to adjust his position.
Tamotsu-san is the one who is suffering the most.
Yes.
His symptoms will keep getting worse.
Yes.
Right now, Tamotsu-san can tell the others how he feels in words, but...
eventually he won't even be able to speak.
You don't have to do it.
I can do it.
Don't worry. Let me do it.
I'm sorry.
Do you want me to get lunch for you?
- No, I can go by myself. - You can ask us anything.
Yes.
Yes?
Hello? It's me.
Did you have dinner?
The smell makes me hungry. I can't wait to eat.
- Let's eat. - Let's eat.
Curry hot pot is the best.
I'll help you.
It's okay.
I see.
I'll start first. If you take your time, I will eat it all.
So good.
You do look like you are going to eat it all.
I can eat this everyday.
- How about for three meals a day? - That's too much.
Have some, Takuto. Have some.
Let's eat.
Wow, so good.
Right?
But I didn't come here for this today.
I have something to tell you.
I...
went to a hotel with Hina-chan.
Really.
So finally...
But I'm still a virgin.
Huh?
That's what it is.
- What does that mean? - I said that's what it is.
- What is it? - I won't tell you.
Why? Tell me in detail.
I ate too much.
Well, I'm going.
- I will throw away the garbage for you. - Thank you.
Have fun with Hina-chan, okay?
Hey Takuto.
I heard Megu-chan is hanging out with Shige-senpai.
Oh right.
You knew?
It's good for Megu. He is nice.
Can you throw away these too?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
See you soon.
Yeah.
Ah, teacher.
Can I come over?
Yeah.
Here you go.
Thank you.
My mom is going to get mad at me when she gets home.
Why?
Because I got a low score on my test.
You did?
It's annoying.
Although she doesn't pay attention to me, she pays attention to my scores and gets mad.
Are you lonely because she doesn't pay attention to you?
I'm sure you are.
But you can never hate her.
Instead you expect she will pay attention to you someday.
Were you lonely when you were a child?
Even now.
What?
Just kidding.
I thought you had a mother complex.
Shige-senpai.
Hey.
It's been a while.
What do you need to tell me?
Do you see Takuto?
Yes.
How is he?
You can't ask him, can you?
I'm not accusing you or anything.
What would you do if you were Takuto?
I too would break up with my girlfriend without telling her about the disease.
I've never had a girlfriend.
Ah, that's not the point, is it?
I'm sorry.
I get nervous when I'm with you, Shige-senpai.
Why?
- You are too attractive to me. - What?
- Could it be that you are... - Yes?
Oh, no, it's not like that.
There is a girl I like.
I see.
It seems like Takuto is having more trouble using his left hand than before.
Because he doesn't act like he is suffering, he looks more painful.
But I can tell...
he is desperately trying to face his disease.
I see.
Did anything change after telling your company about it?
They are being too nice and it makes me uncomfortable.
I'm sure people who were told wouldn't know what to do at first.
It will change in the future.
It is important to inform them about this disease.
From now on, you will need to live with people around you.
Yes.
And how about your family?
You haven't told them yet.
Right.
Did you notice anything else?
- Doctor. - Yes?
You said it before.
That no one can tell what will be next, so it's best for me to not think about it.
That it's kind of like a coping method to live well with ALS.
I'm happy that you remember.
What do you mean by that?
I won't tell you.
Huh?
You will understand even if I don't tell you.
There was a marriage proposal for Riku-chan yesterday.
What?
Of course they don't want it right away, but it's too early, isn't it?
It is too early.
That means they have high expectations for you.
I know.
It's a nice place.
So beautiful.
This is a quote from Leonardo Da Vinci...
Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward.
The sky is where you belong.
Taking a walk in the European sky.
The land that was created by history and nature.
I'm going to bed now.
- Good night. - Good night.
Good night.
Mom.
I will give you a shoulder massage.
What?
I will give you a shoulder massage.
My shoulders?
Yeah.
What is this all of a sudden?
You can't even use your left hand.
My right arm is fine.
Do you remember, Riku-chan?
You used to give me a massage.
I did?
You fought over it with Takuto. With tiny hands.
Please sit down.
- It's okay. - Please just sit down.
Why don't you let him give you a massage since he's insisting so much?
Really?
Then...
Strange big brother.
It doesn't hurt?
No... it feels good.
After all it's totally different from the little hands you had.
But what made you want to give me a shoulder massage?
Because I can give it to you now.
Now...
I can massage your shoulders.
Are you going to be busy soon?
I became sick.
What?
If I didn't get sick, maybe I wouldn't have thought of giving you a massage.
What kind of sickness?
It's a disease where my muscles gradually weaken.
I lost strength in my left hand.
Then I couldn't raise my left arm.
And now I'm having difficulty moving my left leg.
In the future...
I won't be able to move the muscles on my right side.
And I won't be able to move muscles on my face to laugh or speak.
And I won't be able to breathe.
It's a disease that takes away my freedom one by one.
What are you talking about?
My child would never get such a disease.
I thought so too.
But I did.
We will tell Dad right away. He will find a good doctor.
I have been seen by a good doctor.
- I will call Dad right away. - There is no cure.
That's what the doctor say, right?
I will call Dad right now.
What? Where is it?
What happened?
My phone. I can't find my phone.
It's here.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I can't think about my future.
But I'll try to live.
Woof.
Facing Enoshima...
One, two, three, four...
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Let's put something inside and bury it.
How about letters? A letter for oneself?
How many years from now?
Three years.
Huh?
It's gone.
[Megu]
Yes?
It's Megumi.
It's been a while...
Yeah.
Are you doing well?
Yeah, how about you, Takuto?
I'm doing fine.
I'm sorry for calling you.
It's okay.
I wanted to end... our relationship properly.
I think I can end it now.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, it's a strange phone call, isn't it?
No.
I won't call you again.
Thank you for answering your phone.
Now I can move forward.
I have many things going on, but I'll do my best as well.
Yeah.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Bye, Takuto.
Yeah.
Bye-bye.
Dear Megumi.
Who is next to you?
From Megumi.
Um, about what you told me the other day...
What was it?
What?
About what you said...
About what I said?
It's okay... It's nothing.
I was kidding.
Will you be my girlfriend?
Yes.
Oh good.
What?
I thought I would be rejected. I've been so nervous.
I'm relieved.
Thank you.
[From Takuto]
Dear Takuto.
Are you living in the present?
From Takuto.
Subtitles by DramaFever
I guess finding my goal is my goal.
I'm getting married to Megumi-chan.
Takuto-san is doing his best to live.
We meet.
- Are you hiding something, Mamo-chan? - No.
- What do you say? - Of course I'll play.
Great teamwork.
Please take care of Megumi.
Have you wished that you didn't meet Takuto-kun?
The man I love now is Shigeyuki-san.
I heard you are getting married. Congrats.
