Are you alright?
I don't recall anything.
My name, why I came here,
I don't remember anything at all.
You will definitely remember.
It's alright.
Don't fall in love with her~
You don't know where she comes from.
If we submit a search request, Dad's hospital will also be affected, right?
We have found out your identity.
You are Ishikawa Monami-san from Tokyo.
Mom? Where are you now?
Koto-chan?
(It's alright.)
[TEL] Regarding the checkup's result from the other day, I need to discuss with you a few urgent matters.
This thick part on the left side of her brain, you can see this strange lump here.
It might be a tumor. Her headaches and her previous memory loss condition
were probably caused by this.
This tumor here will cause numbness in her fingers, rendering her unable to hold things.
Moreover, when it advances, her vision will be narrowed.
I'm afraid that it can pose difficulties to her everyday life.
Since she has gone back to Tokyo, please help me convey this to her.
She needs to be re-examined soon.
You said it was urgent. Meaning it can put her life at risk?
In the worst-case scenario...
When you learnt about that
I'll be back!
Please be careful.
I have
already returned to my normal life.
About the fact that I lied to you and went to Yamagata,
I'm reflecting on it.
I just wanted to take a breather.
I'm really very sorry...
The egg...
was a bit overcooked right?
The memories about sakura filled up my chest.
(Phone rings)
Yes. This is Ishikawa residence.
[TEL] There you are! Monami-san? This is Rie.
Ah! Rie-san.
This is great. You didn't come to cooking class.
I couldn't call your handphone either. I thought something bad happened.
Sorry. A lot of things happened.
[TEL] Are you going to class today? After that how about going for some tea?
Um. Got it.
I told myself to believe
Okay!
that this must be the place
where I belong.
But somewhere deep inside, there is a gloomy darkness
Excuse me. I would like to reserve a bus ticket, please.
that I haven't realized yet.
Yes.
And also...
the fact that I only have...
a little time left.
Good morning! Morning!
Uncle, tomorrow can I take a day off?
I have someplace I have to go to.
Sub by: yuizaki_libra Specials thanks to qop123, ggenglish and furransu
Tasuku-chan takes a day off? Where is he going?
For a date? With whom? He doesn't have anyone does he?
Or is it... you know, that woman, he is going to chase after her to Tokyo?
She is married right? Even Tasuku wouldn't do such a daring thing.
She needs to be re-examined soon. Is this putting her life at risk?
In the worst-case scenario...
Cut the onions into thin slices, and cut these mushrooms into thicker slices.
Then I'm going to stir-fry them.
Normally for white sauce, we can use dairy milk,
but today we will be using soy milk.
Monami-san. Can you get me the saucepan? Ah! Yes.
Monami-san, are you okay?
Sorry. I wasn't looking.
I'm sorry.
Losing your memory, getting hospitalized. You really went through so many things.
Sorry for causing you to worry.
Your injury is healed aready?
Yeah.
But why did you go alone again?
Something happened at home?
It's not that something happened.
I just felt a bit stuffy at home.
Even with such a kind husband and a nice daughter, you still feel stuffy?
There are times I don't understand what he's thinking, too.
I asked you this before too, but I really can't imagine how it is.
Well, having a family, there are many things to do.
Like your mother-in-law?
What? I guessed correctly huh?
But, I'm fine now.
Anyhow, it was disheartening right? Losing all your memory like that in an unknown place.
That's true.
What~ You didn't feel that way? Eh?
Something good happened while you were in Yamagata?
Like falling in love with some handsome doctor?
There could not be such thing couldn't there.
I'm not at the age for love anymore.
Well anyway, during tough times, don't keep things bottled up. You can talk to me.
Like before you go on a trip alone. I'm never going again.
The operation was a success. Everything is alright now.
Doctor, I'm truly very thankful.
From now on, the family's support is very crucial.
Your father really tried his best. Un!
Our Director exudes some kind of aura around him right?
He's a brain surgeon with top-notch skills. He's also popular, and also an excellent director.
Perfect is the word to describe him.
Like what you said.
Today I just finished a big operation.
In the mood to eat some meat.
Then, it can't be helped.
Ah! Ah!
Hot! Hot!
Hey what's up? Gloomy face like that?
I have something to ask of you.
Uhm...
This Sunday, do you want to go shopping?
A few days ago you said you wanted some clothing right?
Oh that Grandma already bought it for me.
Didn't I say that you are not allowed to ask for anything from Grandma?
I didn't ask her or anything. She just bought it for me.
Now, that's not what I mean...
Dad, welcome home.
I'm back.
Welcome home. You come back early today.
Occasionally I want to eat dinner with Kotone-chan.
I see.
Because of that you want to know her contact address?
I thought maybe I should tell her about the checkup's result early.
I understand that. But, why do you have to go there to see her?
Isn't it ok to just call her? But it's not something
I can tell her through the phone. But you know,
this is very hard.
I think, it's still better to meet and talk to her.
Is it only that? Only that?
You don't have any other motive do you?
None.
Hey Mom How did it feel to lose memory?
Anxiety? Of course anxiety.
Kotone, do you want to try? No, I don't want.
(Phone rings)
Yes. This is Ishikawa residence.
[TEL] Ah! Hello. I'm the police officer in Yamagata.
Oh! That time, really thank you...
[TEL] No, it's nothing. How's you condition afterwards?
I'm fine. So sorry I didn't say properly say goodbye before.
Oh that's fine that's fine. Um, there is something...
[TEL] Could you please wait for a moment?
[TEL] Um, I'm Inaba...
Eh?
I'm so sorry, calling you all of a sudden.
By all means, I have to tell you something.
Eh?
Monami-san.
Can we meet... Thank you for taking care of me.
Mom. Who called?
When I had the accident in Yamagata, this police officer helped me out a lot.
He seems to be still worried about me. Really? What a kind person.
Very kind right?
As I thought, meeting her is a bit...
you know...
I will call her one more time.
to tell her about the re-examination thing.
Sometimes I feel like I can see some fragments of the past...
I was suffering and breathing heavily... I feel anxious...
Jirou-chan.
Can you tell me her phone number and address? You are going to Tokyo?
Uhm.
You... as I thought... It's not that.
I just want to meet and tell her properly.
Listen, Takusu. She already has a husband and a daughter.
Getting deeply involved with her is not a good thing.
Thank you for worrying about me.
By all means, I have to tell you something.
What?
What's the matter?
Shouldn't you express some gratitude
to the person who took care of you in Yamagata?
Ah... That's right.
Maybe send him something?
Anyway, you are not going to see him again.
Uhm. That is true.
Takusu-chan went to Tokyo? What for?
He's going to see her. Ah really.
By the way, Chihiro... Next Sunday...
(Chime)
Who's that?
This early in the morning...
Who's that? Ah! If it's about the newspaper, we are good.
I'm sorry. You are Hajime's girlfriend?
That's right... I'm Hajime's big brother.
I'm sorry. I was so rude just now. Onii-chan?!
I'm so sorry. Nice to meet you. What's wrong?
Morning.
In short, she has a husband and a daughter.
She already went back home.
Uhm. Isn't that good. Then, what did you come for?
She left a few things behind at the house. Her digital camera and some clothes.
You didn't come here just because of those did you? Just send her those. You know her home address right?
I have something I need to tell her too.
What? What is it that you have to tell her?
Why are you asking him that? You're so insensitive.
What are you saying? She already has a husband and a daughter.
That's not it.
Someone like that, you chased her until Tokyo. Need to tell her something? What are you, a stalker?
Uhm.
You don't have to put it that way...
If I don't tell him clearly, he's never gonna get it.
Uhm...
Whatever happened in Yamagata don't be mistaken. At that time,
she didn't have anyone else besides Onii-chan. It couldn't be helped so she depended on you.
She's not your partner or anything.
Uhm...
Ah! I have to go!
Anyway, no matter what don't go and see her.
Those belongings too, just send them to her. You can go sightseeing around Tokyo for today.
Ah, you stay and eat dinner together with us.
Later. Be careful.
But as I thought, you want to see her right?
More like, I must go to see her.
It's fine. You don't have to explain to me.
No, that's not what I mean.
Love is not something you can rationalize.
Decided. Let's go!
Eh?
One...two...
You know, suddenly going out like this may not be a good idea.
It's ok. Leave it to me!
Must have courage!
It's around this area.
Ah! That one maybe?
Um... By all means I need to see you and tell you something.
(Phone rings)
Yes. This is Ishikawa residence.
[TEL] Monami-san. Mother?
[TEL] I have a meeting with Rie-san at the hospital.
[TEL] Can you drive me there?
Yes. I got it.
(Chime)
That bird's looking good.
You're right.
Onii-san.
Seems that she isn't home.
Really?
Yes.
Rie-san is such an excellent nutritionist isn't she?
I need to thank you for introducing her to me.
That's great.
Next time, for the hospital's cafeteria,
she wants to adopt the new technique for making French cuisine.
Is that so...
Other people's affairs right?
Ah, that's not what I intend to...
Children born by ordinary people are ordinary.
Do you understand? In order to get above people,
You need to put in a lot of effort.
Please bear that in mind.
What are you doing? Really! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm sorry!
I will wait for a while and then go there again.
Sorry. Even though it's your day off. No.
I support Onii-san's feelings.
But, the thing I have to tell her...
is not that? Eh?
Actually telling her through the phone is probably fine too.
But I can't do that.
(Shutter)
The winter's sky is beautiful right?
The atmosphere is fresh too.
You're right.
In her digital camera too,
there are many photos of the sky.
Maybe she wanted to become a bird. Even though that's quite laughable.
What did she feel,
when she took those photos of the sky, I wonder?
Koichi-san.
Ah, Mother.
Then, please take care. Try you best, alright?
You have a meeting? Yes. With Rie-san.
Oh right, Monami-san. Yes?
I will be going back by cab. You can go home now.
I'm scared you might fall asleep while driving again.
That was...
Chairman.
I'm so sorry. Taking up your precious time like this.
No. I appreciate your work. Shall we go?
Monami-san. See you later. My regards.
Koichi-san. Just now what she said,
about falling asleep while driving. Sorry.
Now I have to go back to my shift.
Really? I see.
Monami. Yes?
On the way home, can you have the car washed?
I'll be using it during the weekends.
And then the other day, my daughter-in-law... Oh?
Inaba-kun. What's wrong?
Just now someone looks like an acquaintance of mine...
Sorry.
One full tank of petrol, a car wash and some interior cleaning. All done.
It's 7,850 yen in total. Yes.
Here is 10,000 yen.
By all means, I have something that I need to tell you.
Thank you very much!
Ah, I'm sorry. Thank you.
Oh, also, this slipped under the seat.
Then, I will try going one more time.
Uhm.
I have got this great plan.
(Chime)
Um... Excuse me.
Could you help me out a bit? What's the matter?
Somehow, this strange person is following me...
Eh? Is there any police box around this area?
Yes. There is one near the train station. Could you accompany me there?
I'm afraid of going alone...
Please do me this favor. Ah yes.
Um.. There is a police box in front. I have a favor to ask you.
Could you please listen to what he has to say?
It's not something that will cause you trouble.
Who are you?
Hajime... Ah. Tasuku-san's brother,
I'm his acquaintance.
Onii-san has something that he has to tell you
by all means. So, please somehow do me this favor.
Please wait for a moment.
Please wait!
Monami-san!
I'm sorry.
Tricking you like this...
Umm... You being like this, I will be in trouble.
In Yamagata, you really took great care of me.
But, at that time I...
didn't remember anything.
Therefore, can you forget about that?
You helped me out so much, but I'm being selfish like this.
No.. I understand that.
But I...
I have something that, by all means, I have to tell you.
Please listen to it.
I received a call from the hospital where you had your checkup.
Eh?
That...
In your brain,
there seems to be a strange lump.
Strange lump?
The last time you lost your memory, it wasn't psychogenic amnesia. In other words...
it could have been caused by that supposed tumor in your brain.
Tumor?
Of course now we can't be sure of it yet,
but could you go for another checkup as soon as possible?
I got it.
Thank you, for coming specially to tell me.
These are the things you left behind.
Thank you.
Monami-san
Monami-san!
Definitely
It's alright.
Everything's alright.
But, meeting her like that was good right?
Yeah. Thank you.
Ah. It's nothing.
I'm glad.
My business here is done.
It's finished.
In your brain there is something like a shadow.
This supposed tumor this could have been the cause
This is the report from the other day.
Your wife took the trip alone. That's good right?
She is not the kind of woman who has the courage to commit adultery.
But Doctor, you should still be careful.
(Investigation report)
Women's lies are unexpectedly more deeply rooted than men's.
Men...
I'm sorry.
Your wife would like to talk to you. She is now at the reception desk.
I got it.
I'm really sorry. Today he is going to have a few important operations.
He is not going to be able to see you.
Is that so...
I'm sorry.
In your brain, there is something that resembles a tumor...
Could you go for another checkup as soon as possible? I'm scared you might fall asleep
while driving again. I have to go back to my shift.
Today he is going to have a few important operations.
[TEL] Mom? I'm at Haruka-chan's house to study.
[TEL] Auntie is going to cook dinner for me.
[TEL] So I'm not eating at home.
[TEL] She is going to drive me back too. See you later.
Anyway, during tough times, don't keep things bottled up. You can talk to me.
[TEL] Yes. This is Shiraishi. Right now I can't pick up the phone.
[TEL] Please record your message after the beep.
Now I have to go back to my shift. On the way home can you have the car washed?
He is going to have a few important operations.
This is lovely.
Don't know why I'm really drawn to it.
It bloomed.
If by any chance you are not happy,
you can come back to this place.
Because I am always here.
You let them meet?
[TEL] Because...
[TEL] If not he will surely regret it.
Also, he really had something he needed to tell her.
How can you be so sure? Because after he saw her, he said that.
"My business here is done."
"Is done?"
[TEL] Uhm.
What is Onii-chan doing now?
He said he would be taking the night bus back. He went already.
He asked me to tell you to take care.
Onii-chan!
Hajime...
Don't go back without saying anything.. Ah~ I'm beat.
Ah, my bad my bad.
So you have met her?
Uhm.
Onii-chan What did you actually come here for?
(Handphone's signal)
Hello?
Monami-san?
What's the matter?
I'm sorry...
Something happened?
Now I am at Shinjuku bus stop...
[TEL] I will be taking the night bus back at 10 o'clock.
If... if anything happens...
She called you?
Why did she call you?
She's sick.
Eh?
I received a call from the hospital in Yamagata where she had her checkup.
In her brain there may be a tumor. She needs to be re-examined soon.
That's what you have come here to tell her?
Even that... Because of that, even more so.
It's not your business anymore. She has her husband.
Just leave the rest to him.
But she called me just now.
She is only hesitant.
Anna told me already. She's the wife of a good family right?
Onii-chan, what can you do for her?
Why are you so conceited? What, "I'm taking the bus back at 10 o'clock"?
If she comes, what are you going to do? You should know better. Get your composure back.
How can I?
All the stupid things I said.
I'm thinking about them too.
But...
But, I...
I... just...
Of course I know
that it's better for her if she doesn't come.
If she doesn't come,
even without me here, she is still alright.
I can think like that.
that she's fine.
If she comes?
Saying more is useless right?
Do as you like.
But I will object to it.
You are going to put another burden on yourself.
I don't want to see you suffering.
I will be taking the night bus back at 10 o'clock.
Thank you.
I told myself to believe...
that this must be the place
where I belong.
Hey, Monami-san...
Something good happened to her in Yamagata?
Something good? Perhaps...
things that she can't tell you?
She told you about it? No.
But a woman's intuition
must be correct.
Ah...
But somewhere deep inside, there is a gloomy darkness
Where did you go?
that I haven't realized yet.
And also, the fact that
I only have a little left.
