"I am Nakano Yumi."
Good morning, Nakano-san. Director Hayashi, good morning.
What a nice weather. Isn't it.
"I am working in an advertising company called Takata Design."
"I am Tamura Yumi."
Mama. Hm ?
"A housewife, spending all my time caring for my family and doing a part time job."
"One day, we began having a strange dream."
"I started to see Tamura Yumi's everyday life, and Tamura Yumi saw my everyday life ...
every night in our dreams.
His wife disappeared. What ?
She died 2 years ago ...
I will die ?
"But despite having died 2 years earlier ...
Tamura Yumi has been sending me messages from her world 2 years ago.
She wanted me to find out when and why she had died.
I didn't really want to get involved with that. But then ..."
Say, Papa. Hm.
Is Mama in heaven today too ?
Can Mama see us from heaven ?
Mama is watching you all the time from heaven.
That's good. Hm.
Well, let's sing that song. Hm.
"The soap bubble flew away flew up to the roof top"
"Flew up to the roof top and then burst and disappeared."
Nakano Yumi-sama, please save me.
There is no one but you, I can rely on."
Ah, Ikuko-san, good morning. Good morning.
It's just the right moment. I wanted to ask you something ...
Me too, I have something to ask you !
Did you go to Ami's nursery school ?
As I thought, you went. Youhei and the teacher told me so.
That there has been a woman asking for Ami-chan.
Why did you go to Ami-chan's nursery school ?
How did you know where her nursery school was ?
Youhei said that he didn't tell you.
As you might expect, when it comes to dating someone, you are worried about many things ...
What you have done, has been completely thoughtless.
I'm sorry. It is my fault too.
Because I introduced you to Youhei before knowing you better.
I'm sorry, but please forget about all this.
But work is work, so let's keep going.
From now on, our relation will be on a strictly professional basis.
Ah, please ...
Had we arranged a meeting for today ? No.
Excuse me for calling you so suddenly? No ...
I am really sorry for having gone to Ami-chan's nursery school.
I am sorry too. But in these times ...
Arinuma and the teacher have been a bit worried.
I heard about it from Arinuma.
It made me a little happy to hear ...
that you really showed such interest in me.
Excuse me.
Will you go to meet Ami-chan today as well ?
Yes, after this at the nursery school. That must be tough.
It can't be helped. I had to explain the situation at the office ...
one way or another life will go on.
For the meals and so on, how do you manage ?
There is a bento-shop in the neighborhood, generally it's where ...
But for Ami's sake, I will have to ...
think properly about the nutritional balance.
Up to now, I didn't really ...
It must be difficult working at the same time ? No ...
Well ... Yes ?
Your wife, why did she die ?
Was she suffering from some illness ?
Excuse me please.
Yes ... ah ... I see ...
It seems there is some trouble at work ...
I will have to return to the office. What about Ami-chan ?
They will keep her a bit longer at the nursery school.
Excuse me for this commotion. I will call you again later.
Ah, no ... this ... It's okay.
Excuse me.
Is Mama in heaven today too ? Can Mama see us from heaven ?
"Tamura Yumi-sama ...
I did my best to find out ...
when and why you died."
"Me too, I will do what I can."
Ami, you want to wear something light ?
It's okay, let's put on something light today.
Really ? Hm.
Great ...
Here, put this on. Hm.
I thought she would be pleased ...
if I let her wear the clothes she likes, when she wants to.
You will be late today too ?
Hm, probably. I think the section chief will invite me for a drink today.
If you prefer not to go, why don't you refuse ? What ?
If you really want to come home early, why don't you just do it ?
On time to pick Ami up from nursery school ...
As you know, that's not possible ... Really ?
No ... well. If I really insist ...
it might perhaps be possible.
Is it so ? Hm.
I will send you a message as soon as I know if I will be late.
Do so. Thank you for the meal.
Here we go ...
Yumi-chan ?
Ikuko-san. What a coincidence.
I have a business meeting now. And you, Yumi-chan.
What's the matter ? You don't look well.
It's because there has been a somewhat strange man ... A strange man ?
Strange, or should I say ... He seemed to observe me.
You mean a stalker ?
Perhaps just an acquaintance's acquaintance.
Is it so ? You have to be careful, because there have been lots of scary incidents.
Yes ...
"Nakano Yumi-sama, thank you ...
for having asked Ikuko-san and my husband about me.
It has been a shock for me to learn that Ami is eating bento every day."
"But this made me think of something I can do."
"Perhaps you know ...
I am working part time at a place called Yamane Tax Accountant Office.
Perhaps there is a person ...
who knows something about my death."
"And then I have seen today one more time this man called Tatsuno ...
I wonder why he appears in front of me ?
What kind of person is he ?"
Let's do our best for the presentation. Yes.
Well, as Nakano-san and the Superwoman Arinuma-chan are ...
working together, everything will go well I think.
Director, may I ask you something ? What is it ?
It's about this Tatsuno-san who dropped in the other day.
What's with Tatsuno-kun ?
I wonder if he isn't an acquaintance of someone I know.
For that reason, do you know what Tatsuno-san has been doing 2 years ago ?
Sorry, as I told you the other day I really don't know anything.
Is it so ... tell me ... What is his full name ?
Tatsuno Isao. What ? Tatsuno Isao.
Isao ? Hm.
"There's nothing ..."
"Perhaps you know ...
I am working part time at a place called Yamane Tax Accountant Office."
I'll be back.
Okada-san, here ... for the post office. Let me see that.
Who are you ? My name is Nakano.
I have something to ask about Tamura Yumi-san ...
who has been working here before.
Excuse me, but what is your relation with Tamura-san ?
She has been a friend of mine, but I heard she has passed away.
Could you tell me please when ?
You are a friend ? And you don't know it ?
I just heard the rumour that she had died.
Then how about asking the family ?
I contacted the husband but he didn't really answer ...
So, couldn't you tell me ? It is not for me to tell you ...
I won't talk about personal information.
But to tell me just when she died should be okay.
I'm sorry, but we are at work here !
So you say, Yumi-chan is appearing in your dreams ...
and she asked you to investigate ? Yes.
Are you taking me for an idiot ?
You surprise me. Why would someone like you, who is up to his task at work, ...
use such a childish excuse ?
Excuse me please.
Yumi-san. Yes.
These 2 years, I have all the time been watching over Youhei and Ami-chan.
Can you understand how painful it is to loose a cherished person ?
At last.
At last I believed we would turn our backs on the past and walk on.
That's why I introduced you to Youhei.
I am asking you not to bring up the past again. Please !
Hello.
It's Tamura. Sorry for yesterday.
No, no, has everything been okay at work ? Yes, somehow ...
I was wondering if you would like to go out eating again or something.
How about next week's Wednesday ?
In that case, Arinuma could keep Ami that day.
Nakano-san ?
Ah ... Excuse me, I'm a little taken aback right now.
Sorry, I have finished being a bit selfish.
I will call you again later.
"Ikuko-san had been right ...
In this world, Tamura Yumi is already dead.
Accepting the fact that Tamura Yumi has died, everybody is trying to go on with his life."
"And yet ..."
Excellent, it fits you well. Really ?
Thank you. I'm so glad.
Tokita Makoto-san has been in a traffic accident a while ago.
Excuse me, Tokita Makoto ? Tokita ? It's Tokita Makoto.
Makoto ... ? Hey ... Makoto !
"And if there were only me who could lend a hand ?"
Hello.
Nakano-san. Ah.
Hello. Hello.
Have you been okay ? Didn't you lose your way ?
No.
Well, shall we go ? Let's go.
Excuse me for intruding. Come in.
Is something wrong ?
No, I was just surprised that everything is so neat.
Once a month, we are doing a major cleanup with Ami.
Actually by chance this time it has been last Sunday.
Usually it's a bit more in disorder.
Isn't it Ami ? Hm ...
Ah ... sorry ... No ...
May I use your kitchen ?
Ah please do so. But you don't know where to find knifes and bowls and so on ?
No problem. Eh ?
Kitchens are the same everywhere.
Ah, are they ?
Please. Wow ... isn't that great, Ami ?
Well then ... enjoy your meal. Enjoy your meal. Enjoy your meal.
How is it ? It's the same taste as Mama's.
It's really tasty. I'm glad.
Excuse me a minute.
This is what my wife left for us.
May I ? Yes.
I have noticed it for the first time when I was cleaning up lately.
I didn't know at all that she had left something like this.
I don't do much cooking, so I don't understand very well ...
but putting mayonnaise into the hamburger steak ...
is that how you do it usually ?
Ah ... that's right. I think so.
Ah ... is it so ?
But I have been surprised it is really the same taste.
Onee-san, will you cook the other ones for us too ? Yes, I will !
Ami want's to eat Mama's cooking. Ami ...
It's okay, how about cooking together next time ?
Really ? Hm.
Let's do a pinky swear. Pinky swear ?
"Let's cross our little fingers"
"If you tell a lie I'll have you drink 1000 needles"
"Cut the finger"
Here, please.
It's ready ! Ah ... what is it ?
Let me see !
Hey ? Wait ... Papa isn't becoming bald.
Draw me a bit more hair.
Here, draw it here. Eh ? Don't say "Eh" !
Aren't they too short ?
Excuse me, it looks like Ami has been really excited.
No, no, children are so cute.
Yes, in a way it is thanks to Ami that I am able to go on with my life.
Tell me ... Yes ?
About your deceased wife ...
I understand that it is painful to bring this up again.
And it is in no way out of curiosity.
But I want you by all means to tell me.
Why did your wife die ?
Please.
My wife ...
My wife committed suicide.
Suicide ?
Mama will make you many cute nursery school bags.
Do you want to go out with me in due form ?
"I will die in 4 days ...
moreover, by suicide ..."
