Who are you?
It seems like she just doesn't recognize me.
I consulted with someone in psychosomatic medicine about this.
I'll do whatever it takes.
What happened the last five years.
We'll get it back piece by piece together.
I just can't remember any feelings I've had for you.
Now, I'm not saying I'm dissatisfied with the married life.
I'm actually happy.
But still, it's been in my head if we can just keep things like this.
We need to find happiness that's not just ordinary.
You don't have to remember.
So, I want to start over from the beginning.
I'd like to go on a date.
I'm sorry.
So I've decided.
I'll fall in love with you again.
Kanako.
Are you awake?
Haru-san is here.
Okay.
- I'm sorry. - No, it's fine.
Please give this to Kanako. I figure it's tough without her phone.
I see. Thank you.
See you later.
Sorry. I think it's still...
I see.
Is she eating all right?
She's eating dinner right now. Would you like to come in with us?
No. I'll head on home.
I see. Well, thanks for checking up.
I'll come again. Good night.
You won't see him today?
You should at least show your face.
Are you always going to be like that?
- I'm really sorry. - No no, I'm just dropping in anyway.
Morning.
Good morning.
- Um... - Hmm?
I'm still doing my best.
I see.
I'm sorry.
- You can't just take your time like that. - Sorry.
Haru-san.
- Hmm? - Your mouth is open.
Huh?
Just joking. What's up?
- You've been spacing out. - Nothing is up.
You just barely got here in time this morning.
Well maybe, it's been tough at night since Kanako-san was in the hospital.
Huh, really?
- Why did you do that! - Because you were there.
If anything is up, just say so.
Nothing is wrong! I was just thinking about lunch!
Of course you're coming to my soba place, right?
- Oh, Umezu-san! - You're loud as always.
- Who's that? - He runs a soba place nearby. Pretty bad.
- He can hear you. - I can.
What's going on today?
I've got a request.
Ah, this.
Takes you back, huh?
Yeah, that time...
- So the car is out of commission? - The engine is shot.
Maybe that's it for the car. It's been around as much as me... but I'm still alive!
Anyway, could you give it a look? Please!
- Got it. - Chief.
Yeah?
- Could you let me do it? - Really?
Sure, but why would you want to?
I've got some memories in that car.
Memories?
Haru used this on a date with Kanako-san.
Haru-san only has bikes, huh?
Yeah. When he said that over at the soba shop,
that old guy said he could use the car.
Huh...
- I'll leave it to you. - Okay.
- You guys, get to work! - Yeah!
How about you take this one?
It's a national deal. We get this, it'll be a big get.
Okay. I'll do my best.
- Nice catch. - Yes. Thank you.
You seem to be moving up quite fast here.
It's what the boss said.
Well, do your best.
I'll be ready to take over whenever.
I'll do my best.
- Terrible. - Well, I'm not worried about it.
- Well, congrats anyway. Want to get a drink? - I can't today.
Things aren't calmed down with your sister yet?
It's not that. I've got to put in overtime for this.
- I see. - Sorry.
- I'm home. - Welcome back.
- Mom, the water's leaking. - Oh, it's been like that for two, three days now.
You should call someone.
Did you wear that all day?
You didn't go out at all?
I have nothing to do.
Isn't that why you're in such poor health?
Are you going to call someone?
Hey Kanako. How about going to that specialist?
The one we were introduced to at the hospital.
They're famous you know. I'll bring you there.
You can't just laze around here forever.
Okay.
Okay. Then...
- When is my next day off? - It's okay. I'll go alone.
- Hmm? - I'll go tomorrow.
Okay.
- Get rid of the oil. - Okay.
- Where did you take this car? - Huh?
You went on a date with Kanako-san, right?
Yeah.
We didn't go anywhere.
- We didn't go anywhere and just went home. - How come?
Kanako has a license but she doesn't really drive.
So we had to switch after I saw her bad driving.
- I was right there, I had to say something. - I gotcha.
- And then the wheel fell off its axle! - Terrible!
It was a terrible drive.
- But that sounds good. - What part?
Even after all that, you were able to have a happy marriage.
Yeah.
You can go on other drives.
Yeah.
I guess so.

Can you get my memory back?
We'll do what we can to
help you get your memories back.
We won't bombard you with nurses or ask you do anything too unreasonable.
I see.
What's important now is to accept what is happening right now
and also to find some way to get back into a normal lifestyle from now on.
From now on?
What would you like to do?
- Miyamoto-san. - Yes.
Thanks for waiting.
Expensive...
If you bring your insurance card next time
- we can refund the difference. - I see.
My insurance card...
Miyamoto-san.
Did you lose your key?
- Here you are. - Ah, I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Just bring it back later. Feel free to let me know if you need anything whenever.
Excuse me...
I'm home.
Welcome back. How was it?
Well... it doesn't seem like they'll be able to do anything special to get my memory back.
- I see. - They said to stop by next week at least.
I see. Oh, your cell phone rang.
Huh?
Hello.
Ah, Director?
September 16, 2007.
Our first drive.
It's been awhile since I drove, but I had a very noisy instructor next to me.
That got him all worked up.
That's right. It's right after the factory.
Okay, we'll be waiting.
It'll take about an hour.
Can't you do anything Haru-san? You're the mechanic.
This isn't a simple repair job.
I thought you could do anything with cars.
I can do anything.
But, you can't.
But this is...
You work in a library, right?
Not everyone there can write a novel, right?
Yeah, right.
I'm sorry.
Hungry?
Is there really a place there?
There is! It's a small place though.
Do you play sports?
- Yeah. I played baseball up to high school. - I see.
My father loves baseball. It was his influence.
I wonder what kind of person your father is.
You'd be surprised if you met him. He's a bit intense.
I'd like to meet him.
Is your father like you?
Hmm, I wonder? We're not related by blood.
Huh?
I'm adopted.
I see.
How about you?
Huh?
- Did you always read books? - Why do you think that?
- Am I wrong? - You're not but...
- Are you making fun of me? - I'm not.
Do you know how many books are there in the world?
- How many? - I don't know either...
But, my library has 250,000 books.
You couldn't read them all before you died, even if you did one a day.
I have no time for sports.
I'm always looking for the next good book
and if I can help other people find that book for them.
What were we talking about?
- Looks like I uncovered part of you there. - Huh?
You're passionate about work.
Ah!
There it is.
Hmm?
Ahh!
Wait!
Hey!
We started talking about things we couldn't before.
It was a great date.
I'm going to the library tomorrow.
Okay. Heading back to work?
I don't know if I am yet. There's a lot going on.
I would feel bad if I caused trouble.
You don't have to overdo it.
My salary is going to go up this year.
I got a big project at work.
If it goes well, I'll get promoted in the fall probably.
That's great!
So you don't have to worry about things here,
- just do what you'd like. - Okay.
Tomorrow, why don't you see if the Director has any advice?
Yeah.
- Shindo. - Yes?
- Change the fluid. - Okay.
Kanako-san?
Ah, hello.
Nice to see you! Are you coming back to work today?
No...
It's been so much trouble with that newbie Taro, he's useless.
Saeki-san, do you have a moment? Oh, Miss Kanako!
What is it now?
This girl got separated from her brother.
You're Ma-kun's sister.
- Ma-kun? - I just saw him...
Ah, there he is.
- Ma-kun, here! - Oh there you are!
- Wakana, where did you go? - Brother!
I'm sorry.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Don't get lost anymore. - Okay!
He's a good brother now. Already 10 years old.
Miyamoto-san.
Director.
I see.
So it's like you fell into a time slip.
Ah, I guess so.
I must have gotten pretty old then.
Huh?
- Well, there's some gray hairs. - Of course.
Well, recently,
my grandkid has been calling me old man.
Am I that old?
Director, you have a grandchild?
Ah. Yes, 3 years old. But has quite the mouth.
I see.
Yeah.
Well, it's fine.
Five years ago, we could
definitely count on you as a worker.
So, when can you come back?
Well, actually...
I'm thinking about quitting.
I see...
I'm sorry.
This is Tanimura.
Mom (in law)? It's Haru.
Haru-san, Kanako isn't in right now.
Ah, I see.
I think she might be at the library now.
Oh, she's going back to work?
I wonder. I think she might be quitting actually.
Eh?
Probably. I don't know if they would
take Kanako back like she is now.
I see.
Rock, paper, scissors!
- Okay, lunch is on you. - Really!?
I see. See you later. Bye.
Ah, Haru-san.
Rock, paper, scissors!
Ah, damn it! Where's Katsura?
- Off doing something for the Chief. - Ah, how sneaky.
Haru, what do you want for lunch? It's Shindo's treat.
I'm going to eat out today.
Now he's a good superior.
Doesn't want to leech off those below him.
Enough out of you. Let's go!
Hey.
Here.
Your insurance card.
Sorry to put you out.
It's fine. I'm on lunch break.
Thanks for before.
Huh?
Hmm? The dishes and the clothes.
Ah...
I figured I was being a bother. I had to do something.
I see.
Are you quitting the library?
I know you can't go back right away.
Maybe you should think about it again after taking some more time off?
I think it's a waste.
You love working at the library.
Five years is a long time.
I saw a boy named Ma-kun back at the library just now.
Ma-kun?
The Ma-kun I knew,
was a 5 year old kindergartener, always running around.
The Ma-kun I just saw awhile ago, he's in elementary.
Leading his little sister by the hand. He's a responsible big brother now.
I don't even know myself now.
What should I do?
Thanks for the insurance card.
- Thanks! Please call us again. - Thank you.
Okay. Next...
Kanako-san!
Uh...
We've only met twice. Maybe you don't remember me.
I'm Yoshiki Katsura. I work with Haru-san at Mizushima Auto.
Ah, I'm sorry.
It's okay!
- Hey, want to get some tea? - Huh?
Just for a bit! It's really close! Let's go!
Huh?
You didn't hear?
Ah, Haru-san hasn't said anything.
I see.
- Would you like some? - Huh?
It's just so shocking. I've lost my appetite.
Ah, I'm...
I see.
Oh man!
- Are you okay? - I'm sorry! Just a little self loathing.
I overdid it a bit.
Now I see. That's why Haru-san's been strange lately.
Haru-san. The work you're doing now,
when do you think you'll be done?
- Early next week. - Got it.
Chief. About Umezu-san's out of service car,
- what should we do? - Yeah, I see.
Reminds me of a saying.
"When we will be able to fix the broken things in our lives?"
What are you saying?
That doesn't suit you at all.
Come on now! Your boss has some good sayings every now and then!
I'm sorry.
Katsura. How come you took so long?
I didn't give you the whole time it takes for the Earth to revolve.
Haru-san.
Let's go drink today!
Huh?
- You didn't need to wait for me. - Am I bothering you?
No, I'm glad.
I like watching you hard at work.
- What are you saying now? - But, I think you're overdoing it.
You should take a little off your shoulders.
- I have to deal with things at home too. - Huh?
My dad died when I was young.
Yeah.
My mom and sister had to go through a lot.
I don't want to call it paying them back, but I want to make life easier for them.
But, your sister has a husband.
Yeah, I guess so...
Well, I'm off tomorrow. Want to go somewhere?
Yeah.
You went through that pitcher pretty fast. Rikki, some water?
No! I don't need water! Rikki, you're in the way! Get over there!
In the way!? I'm worried about you.
You're too drunk.
Did something happen? Let me know.
- Today... - Yeah.
I saw Kanako-san this afternoon. I heard everything.
- I see. - I'm sorry.
I'd like to keep this quiet. I don't want people to worry.
- I see. - Okay. Keep it quiet.
Haru-san, I'm sorry for saying so many insensitive things!
It's fine!
Put your head up.
Don't look at me with that sad face.
I'm doing fine.
Haru-san. If there's any trouble, just say the word!
Cleaning. Laundry. Cooking. I'll do anything!
Did you know? Curry is really good with onion!
I'll make some for you next time.
Haru-san.
I'll always support you!
Thanks. You're embarrassing yourself. Sit down.
Okay.
I thought you had a work question. That's why I didn't take overtime today.
Hey! I canceled drinks with my hero today for this.
- I see. I'm sorry. - Ah! Spilled some.
Welcome! They're here.
Oh hey! I know those faces!
Why are you two drinking? So sneaky Haru-san!
Did you get the leak fixed?
Not yet. To fix it further,
they said we'd need to replace everything. It would cost quite a bit.
Our place is pretty old.
We've had to deal with a lot. Maybe we should move?
- Yeah, but... - What?
It's not too bad being here.
We don't know how much longer you'll be here.
And Kanako won't be here forever either.
You saying she should go back over there?
I'm not saying that.
But, I think it would be better.
She can take whatever path she wants.
But, she needs to be independent once again, regardless.
I think it's a waste.
You love working at the library.
I don't even know myself now.
What should I do?
Oh, a rare visitor.
I've got a request.
Bought it.
- Found it? - Hmm...
- There it is. - That takes me back.
So, you've got a game?
A big one.
You came today? Thanks!
Miyamoto-san.
- Came to see it? - Yeah. Looks fun.
This month was a big success.
You do readings every month, right?
Huh?
Ah, right. Who do you think we have to thank for that?
Visiting kindergartens and elementary schools to get people to come,
working on a budget with the district government,
and then setting up a monthly tradition?
- Good work. - Oh, it's not me.
You did all of it.
Huh?
Thanks to your efforts, we have all this.
Okay, almost time to start.
Everyone, sit down.
Sit down.
- Okay, let's start. - Okay!
On the fifth day, there was a huge fire!
It came from the forest. The fire fighters ran towards it.
But then, a monster came from the fire.
"That's him! He ate my field!"
"Policeman! Arrest that thieving monster!"
"Now wait, did he break some law..."
- Haru-san, what is it? - Ah, is Kanako in?
She went to the library.
Thank you very much.
- Ah, Kanako-san's... - Ah.
- Is she in? - She just went home.
I see.
Hello.
Ah, hello.
Yes?
- What is it? - Um...
It's nothing big but...
Yes?
I have something to tell you.
Kanako.
Where are you now?
Huh?
Here you are. Come again! Welcome!
- Yes? - Ah...
Yes?
I've decided to work at the library again.
Huh?
I wanted to let you know.
I see.
Not because of what you said, there's some other things going on...
Okay.
I see.
Ah, Haru-san.
- Um... - Yeah?
Can I ask you something?
Anything.
What's that?
This?
I'll give it to you.
What's this?
Taiyaki.
I know that much.
What's with this shape?
Secret.
You can eat it.
There's nothing weird inside, right?
Hmm...
It's fine.
Okay.
Mmm.
It's good.
Okay.
Really!
- It's strange. Really? - Really!
My taiyaki machine always connects them like this.
There's a dent in the grill, like that.
When I had games, it would always be in my lunch.
- Lunch? - Yeah.
"Good luck! I'll be supporting you at your side."
My dad used these guys to symbolize that.
That's nice.
Huh?
I like that.
It's quaint.
Really?
- Chief. - Yes?
- Let me work on that car. - Huh?
Umezu-san is on board.
- Sure, there's no problem... - Thank you.
- Maybe my wise saying got to him. - What wise saying?
Don't ask, don't ask.
I'll bring you back again, for sure.
