Dad has passed away.
The wake is tomorrow at the house. The funeral is the day after at Mitsuzouin.
Yes. Goodbye.
Nishizono Atsuko
- Here's some tea. - Ah, thanks.
Dad had all of this ready.
To Haru
Didn't have any faith in his son. To Haru
Haha.
Yeah.
Sorry to get you all involved. I'll see you off.
- No, it's okay. - I insist.
I have to go home anyway and get clothes for the funeral.
- Let me go get them then. - Huh?
Someone might call here.
You should stay here.
Yeah.
Thanks.
- I'm going to head out now. - Good work today.
Voicemail
Sorry for the sudden call.
I'm Miyamoto Haru.
I'm Miyamoto Tasuke's son.
Today, Dad passed away.
Thank you for being a good friend to my father while he was alive.
Thanks for sending the picture.
But, I'm sending it back.
I think it's better for you to have it, Miyamoto-san.
Proposing to You, Once Again

Thank you for coming.
Haru-san.
He's pretty strong.
Yeah.
I was completely broken up when my dad died.
Huh?
I thought I was all set to take care of the family.
But thinking about it now,
it's scary how quickly we can be alone.
What can we take care of if we can't take care of ourselves?
Seeing Haru-san now makes me think about that.
- I think so. - Huh?
I don't think there's anyone
who wouldn't be happy to hear someone's out there for them.
But Haru-san isn't alone.
Haru-san has
Kanako-san.
Ah, it's all over so soon.
- Yeah. - Hmm...
Dad's gone now.
Now to go to City Hall, the bank.
What to do with the house? Well, before that,
I have to take care of his things.
You know, that'll take some time dealing with it all.
- Are you sure it's okay? - Hmm?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
But, thanks. Really.
No...
See you.
- Hey. - Hmm?
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks. But I'm fine. I'm going back home today.
Can I go back with you?
Huh?
Here you are.
- Let's eat. - Go ahead.
Let's eat.
It's good.
I'm glad.
You kept this?
Yeah. Just because I guess.
- Here. - Thank you.
Kanako,
there's something I have to apologize for.
Huh?
Kanako, you like kids, right?
Yeah.
Do you not?
No, that's not it.
I see.
Right after we got married,
we started talking about kids.
I kept avoiding the subject
and never gave a direct answer.
I made you feel bad.
And I never knew about it until I saw it in the diary.
I'm sorry.
No, that's...
I...
Well, I thought about what would make the two of us happy.
And I thought the right choice was divorce at first.
Honestly though,
I still haven't
found the answer.
Me too.
- I'll clean up a bit. - No, I can do it.
It's okay. You're tired from today right? Rest up.
Okay, thanks.
Good morning.
Morning.
I'm going to head out soon.
- Okay. - I need stop off at home before work.
- Thanks for breakfast. - Not at all.
This...
- Can I take them? - Yeah, sure.
Of course.
- Then, see you. - See you.
Thanks for everything, everyone.
Hasunuma-san, sorry for leaving everything on you during my absence.
When I do my best, it's no problem.
- Oh, so you're usually hands off? - That's not what I meant.
I'll do my best as always.
- Okay, time to work. - Yes.
Sorry, we got a job in this morning,
it may be a complete overhaul. Could we put you on it tomorrow?
- Haru-san, Hasunuma-san? - Okay, Haru.
- Rock, paper, scissors... - If I win or lose?
- That's... - Could you let me do it?
Huh?
- Chief? - Please.
- You've got some spirit. - We may have
another thing come up where we lose a person like now.
I want to work on my own as soon as possible.
Please!
Okay. Haru, support her.
Yes.
- Thank you. - I'll be better than you soon enough.
- Good luck then. - Okay Shindo, let's get to work!
Yes!
Let's go!
Okay.
It's a little sad that we finished the job.
Like there's a little hole.
Just a little one.
But thanks to it I was able to take a drive with my dad.
Everyone helped out. It was a good experience.
- Yeah. I learned a lot. - Yeah.
And Umezu-san has his car back and he's happy.
A hole maybe, but it left a lot behind.
- I see. - Do you?
And what was up with this morning?
Hmm...
I just wanted
to see where my talent could take me.
Hmm?
I've learned a lot.
From you, from the chief.
Hasu...not so much, but...
Everything that I've learned,
it's all tied up with my future.
- I see. - Yeah.
Ah, I found something good.
Look at this.
- Here... - This is from when the Chief started.
"Hey everyone! I'm Ohashi."
"I'll be the new Chief Librarian starting this year!"
"I'll do my very best to make this library"
"a place for love, peace, fun, and education."
"I look forward to shaking your hand."
- That's quite an introduction. - I was surprised to read it too.
- What's going on? - Chief!
We found this.
Ah, this takes me back.
You should be more embarrassed!
I really wanted to do my best back then.
Kinda cute, to see how inexperienced I was back then.
But that's who I was.
- Thanks for waiting. - Okay!
- Are you going to drink again? - Come along?
- I'll have to pass. - See you.
Just Haru-san left then.
I wonder if he's doing okay.
- Huh? - It's not our turn just yet.
His father just passed away.
Yeah.
Well, we're always there for a hug if he needs it.
Hey! You smell!
I closed the shutter.
- What's going on? - Nothing, let's go.
- See you. - See you.
Did they say they were going to drink?
- They didn't invite me. - Me neither.
- They could've at least asked. - Ah, they're worried about you.
I understand.
They don't have to worry.
- They're like family. - Yeah.
You must be happy to be in charge of a company like this.
Huh?
Chief.
Our talk.
I'll do it.
Really?
I just want to believe a bit more in my possibility.
- Possibility? - Well, if I can become a boss like you,
I don't know yet.
You don't need to be like me.
It's enough you're here to take over.
If something comes up, you're the one who deals with it.
It's a good thing.
Well, it's not for awhile. Not giving up my seat yet.
- Yep. - Haha.
Then maybe I'll catch up with the rest.
- Good work. - Good work today.
- Thanks for waiting. - Thanks for coming.
Where should we go?
I found a good pasta place recently, want to go there?
Ah, no today...
I just want to talk.
Shino.
We should break up.
Did you find someone else you like?
That's not it.
We can't keep things like this between us.
When we first started going out,
I kept spoiling you.
Kept saying I love you to spoil you.
Then when work got busy or I had family problems,
I just kept being so selfish.
That's fine! I can deal with it, as long as we're together.
It's not fine.
I want you to find someone Shino.
Someone who doesn't just put up with you.
But someone who wants you for who you are.
I give up.
Almost wish you said you found someone else.
Even if it was a lie.
Even if I can give up...
Right now,
I don't know how I feel.
Yeah.
Until you agree,
I'm willing to talk some more.
Rikki, please set up some more mixers!
You're ruining my newlywed mood, stop it.
The guys right now couldn't get cute girls, huh?
- Hasunuma-san is aiming a bit too high. - I'm...
- going to quit the mixer lifestyle. - Why?
Well, just...
I want to focus on one girl...
Well, you need to find one first.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Oh, isn't that Yuuki-san?
If you'd like, why don't you join us?
- What? - Okay...
How about we get him in the group?
- I don't know who he is but he looks popular with the ladies. - No, not at all.
- Actually, I just broke up with someone. - Then you broke from the past,
- looking to get with Katsura, huh? - No.
- Ah, you can't sit there! - Huh?
- Oh? - Hello.
Hey.
April 7, 2007.
I met a strange man.
- Cheers! - How many times are we going to toast?
It feels a little strange to have Yuuki-kun in this group here.
- Then maybe he should go home. - Why are you looking for a fight?
Must be tough huh, he beats you in every way.
- Shut up! - Don't worry about it.
If you give him your number he's going to just invite you to mixers.
Eh?
It's fine. He just broke up with his girlfriend.
- Well... - You said you didn't have a girlfriend.
- So I did. - You did! You liar!
Okay then, let's drink a lot to failed
- love tonight! - But, I wasn't the one who got dumped.
Oh, true.
- Oh, showing off? - Not at all.
- That was fun! - Watch out!
- They're a bit more excited than usual tonight. - Really?
Probably thanks to you.
- Huh? - I was able to talk honestly with my girlfriend.
It's thanks to you.
- You broke up because of me? - That's not it.
It's like you said.
Go forward, taking things piece by piece.
I see.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Yuuki!
- Let's drink another! - Hey, already using my name only?
Nice to be so young.
Yeah.
January 10, 2008.
Before I knew it,
Haru made a visit to Dad's grave.
October 12, 2008.
We're going to live together now.
Take care.
See you later.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Had a fight
with Haru.
Nishizono Atsuko
I think Haru really thinks that
being a parent is a very special thing.
We can't waste
this precious time together.
We need to find those small happinesses.
As the years pass by and we start to gray.
I hope we can be together forever.
- Sorry to call you so suddenly. - No.
It's really...
gotten hot recently, huh?
Yeah.
Ah well, part of my work takes me outside.
Summer is very tough.
Ah, well...
I work as a car mechanic.
- I see. - Yes.
Ah...
I'm married.
I see.
Any kids?
None.
Me too.
Haha.
Ah, it's still here?
- Yes. - I see.
When you were just born, you cried a lot.
But...
No matter the problem,
when you heard that clock you would stop crying.
That's why when Miyamoto-san adopted you,
I gave him the clock along with you.
It took everything I had.
At that time,
I was just 15.
Couldn't raise a child.
There's no way
I could do it on my own.
I thought I couldn't make you happy.
Once I gave you up,
your parents became
the Miyamotos.
I've just lived my life as
a stranger to you since then.
But, there hasn't been a day
when you weren't happy.
I'm sorry.
For being so selfish.
No...
Don't apologize.
Really.
Hey, let's go outside for a bit?
- Let's play baseball at the park! - Okay.
I used to play catch with Dad here a lot.
And that's where I practiced biking.
For my exams or big game days,
my Dad would make a prayer here.
But,
he would always say he never did.
I used to go over there and pee sometimes too.
We had all of our important talks here.
First heard that I had other parents
right here.
He would always joke but
he never lied. He was a good father.
I was
happy.
Really.
I'm glad.
I thought it was a miracle.
To have him as a father to raise me.
But, it wasn't, right?
My Dad,
he just had the same feelings that you had too.
So,
thank you very much.
- Morning. - Hey.
- Slept well? - Yeah.
- Having breakfast? - Ah, it's okay.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Before... - Yeah?
You said the reason you stay
together for years is important than the reason for marrying, right?
Did I say that?
You did.
Why did you stay together with Dad?
Didn't I say that was a secret?
I remember.
You should find that reason on your own.
I see.
Well, for me,
I believed.
- In Dad? - No, that's not it.
Well, when I say it like that I make him sound bad.
But, I believed in our family.
Family?
If you ask what it was, it would have to be family.
Don't a lot of things end with them?
Whenever things are tough, family is there.
They can help you climb over it.
Um...
Would you hold onto this?
Please come again.
I'll be waiting.
Thanks.
You have big hands.
Someday,
I'll be a father like Dad.
I don't know where my path goes now.
It'll make things a bit harder for you.
Oh, Haru-san.
- Kanako isn't here. - Oh, really?
She said she wanted to go back "where it all started".
I see.
Thank you.
North Central Library
I do!
Why are you here?
I wanted to see you.
- Huh? - I've been all over, looking for you.
You could've called.
Ah, true.
I fell asleep again.
I was up reading the diary all night.
Is that so?
I seemed happy.
The me in the diary.
I had complaints and worries, of course.
You were far from a perfect husband, it seems.
I'm sorry.
But, thanks.
- Huh? - Well...
I figured a imperfect husband
would not be able to make his wife happy.
I'm glad you don't think that way.
Yeah.
I was happy.
Very happy.
So I wanted to visit as many places as I could find.
But I guess that doesn't bring the memories back.
But,
Kanako, you feel happy when you read the diary, right?
Yeah.
That Kanako who can find that little happiness in things,
that's who I love.
Five years later.
Ten years later.
And just right now.
I want to continue to find that small happiness with you.
So, starting now,
will you become my wife?
Yes.
Okay.
It's embarrassing.
Can I make a suggestion?
- What is it? - Would you stop with the formal language?
Ah...
Asking it so suddenly...
Well, you can just call me by my name.
- Haru-san. - Haha...
You don't need the "san".
Haru.
Yeah, so suddenly...
I see. Then, I hope they'll be a good married couple.
Does it bother you?
I'm not one to dwell over things like that.
I'm happy for them, as a friend.
Next up is you!
Me...
- I'm not worried about that right now. - Huh?
I broke up with my girlfriend.
I want to grow up just a bit more for now.
- Oh, that's a refreshing way to think. - Really?
It's just like you.
Yuuki
Are you sure you want to delete?
Deleting
- Oh, it's Shino! - What do you want to eat?
If you could just come over, our staff can...
Did you eat a tomato?
- You ate one! - Ow ow ow!
Apologize! Apologize!
You ate one! Our neighbor gave it to us!
It's starting with the idling, I think it's the engine.
- It's the muffler. - No, the engine!
- Then go for it. - Okay.
He's getting better.
Ratchet, please.
- Here. - Thank you.
Miss Kanako, where does this go?
- Requested books, third floor. - That's right.
- How many times do I have to tell you? - Sorry.
Don't sorry me.
Kanako went back to Haru-san.
And Yuuki is getting ready to live on his own.
It's almost time
for me to leave this house.
Right, Dad?
Oh no! I won't make it!
Can you drop me off?
Sure.
Hurry up!
The TV.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Thank you.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Take care. See you later.
See you later. Take care.
Six years later
Papa!
Mama!
