"Having a dream is such a waste!"
"Because your future had been decided!"
What is this? - Transmitter.
*In electronics and telecommunications, a transmitter is an electronic device which (usually with the aid of an antenna) produces electromagnetic waves.*
It's in our shoes.
"We have decided to date."
I envy, I hate, and I forgive that woman.
It keeps repeating.
Nevertheless, why (did I still go to meet her)?
She fell from the stairs outside, and broke her leg.
What did she do there? - I don't know.
Next, I'll leave it to you.
Wait a minute.
I think, I shouldn't be her carer. This is also for her sake.
Stop complaining, just follow the procedure.
Did she intentionally hurt her self, so that I won't stop being her carer?
"You'll come again, right?"
I wonder if she did that to make me feel regret (because I had left her).
How ridiculous!
Yet, I couldn't cut off my relationship with someone who did that ridiculous thing.
"All of you will never be anything."
We are living in a world that separates us from any possibility.
In that kind of world, we only have a very very limited way to bring happiness into our lives.
For example..

Hey, they're coming!
Though I shouted "They're coming!", no one could heard me, huh?
Sorry, Minegishi-san. Everyone is kind of "busy".
You guys are so "busy" in this sunny day? Is this already your mating season, huh?
You guys are like pigs! Right, Agu Pig?!
*It's a pun made from her name. Anyway, ?Agu? is a traditional breed Okinawa indigene pig which its breedings had been used of food since it was first found in the period of Ryukyu Kingdom.*
Hungry~ Angry~
My name is Kanai Aguri. Nice to meet you.
Why did he do that?
Just ignore him, that's the way he is.
This is the kitchen. Minegishi-san usually brings us the groceries, once a week.
We cook using the groceries he brought and as for the cooking turn, we do it as we like.
As we like?
Well, some of us can't cook..
As for washing clothes, you should do it yourself.
How about the cleaning? How should we take turn?
Ah, do it as you like.
You can do it whenever you want.
Okay..
Then, these are your rooms.
These two women may use those rooms.
Your room is there.
But, it's only temporary.
Temporary? - Let me show you.
What did she mean by 'temporary'?
Where is Tomo's room?
Does he get his own room?
Whoa!
Sorry..
"Is this already your mating season, huh? You guys are like pigs!"
So that's what he meant.
What a messy room!
Whoa!
Tomo, what are you looking at?
Whoa, the fish is flying!
That's not a fish, it's a dolphin.
Dolphin? - Yes, a mammal.
Hoo, cool!
Eh, where are you going?
Toilet.
What is this?
It's called television.
Hoo...
Are you one of the new people who came from Yoko Institute?
Yes. - Your name?
Hoshina Kyoko.
Kyoko-chan?
Yes.
I'm Tachibana Kousuke.
Just call me "Kousuke".
If you feel lonely, you can call me.
Ah..
We're back!
"We're back"?
Most of veterans here are couple, right?
*Veterans refer to older 'people' who had already been at the Cottages before Kyoko, Tomo, and Miwa arrived. We call them "veterans" because the book used that term.*
Well, sometimes we change partners..
Here.
You heard it, Tomo? - Ah, yes..
Kyoko should also find a partner, ok?
Ah, yes..
What's wrong, Kyoko-chan?
Here are the sausages!
This afternoon, where did you go?
Ah, we were back from The Carer Training.
What is The Carer Training?
Moreover, what is Carer?
No one told you about that?
Would you please, tell me about it?
Well then, a Carer is..
You know about the "donors", right?
Ah, yes.
After the donors lose one of their organs, they still have to do their daily activities.
A carer is someone who helps the donor.
Soon, you guys will also have to attend The Carer Training and then work as carers.
About being a carer..
Is it a must thing to do?
Well, it's okay if you don't want to do it.
But, it means you should immediately be a donor.
Are you okay with that?
Eh?
Eh, then..
(she puts her fork angrily)
This is unbelievable!
Though they don't know about that, they're allowed to move in the cottages.
While we had to apply and pass the test to be allowed to live in this cottage.
We even had to fulfill some requirements first before we could attend that The Carer Training!
There's nothing we can do about that, because Yoko's alumni are special.
But..
However, their specialness ends here.
From now on, we're all the same. That's the good thing, right?
Well, yes..
Anyway, while we're all here, let's be friends with each other.
Okay? Let's have fun!
Yosh, let's eat! - Let's eat!
I'll eat this first.
Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?
I don't know.
Is it because no one in Yoko told us about that, or we...?
I said, I don't know!
Sorry..
I'm fed up with this.
"You will never be a soccer player."
So, this is what she meant..
Tomo, I'm coming in.
Ah, come in!
Eh, what is this?
Ah, things I got from Tatsuko-sensei.
Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?
"Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?"
Is it because no one in Yoko told us about that, or...?
What are you doing?
Wait.. - Argh!
Stop it!
Ah, sorry..
No good will come even if you keep those things!
We have no choice but being carers and then being donors, right?
After that, we will be "completed", right?
*She means, they will get the "completion" (a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations)*
If you keep thinking about that, you will only feel miserable, right?
What are you doing?
I feel so sad..
I'm crying!
Eh?
I'm trying to say, "Please comfort me!"
You do like me, right?
"But, it means you should immediately be a donor. Are you okay with that?"
"Eh?"
Is this okay? - Ah, yes..
Does it hurt?
Sorry..
Please, be more gentle.
Ah!
Bite me.
Eh?
Here.
Bite me!
Good morning!
Could you give me a glass of water?
Ok.
Tomo said, "Because you're mine."
It's hard to hide this mark..
Are you okay? You look so pale.
I'm okay.
Ok.
It's because you're so delicate, Kyoko..
Lack of sleep?
Maybe..
Today's breakfast feels so delicious!
Did you cook these?
Yes.
She could be a cook, right? - Right, she could!
How about being a part-timer somewhere? - Nice idea! How about in a Kare Restaurant?
Like a poster girl! - Ah, indeed!
*Poster Girl: a girl who attracts people to come to the restaurant*
What is a "poster girl"? - I saw it on TV, few days ago..
Could you please stop talking about that?
Because I won't be any of that, right?
I will only be a carer, right?
What the heck? We're just kidding!
But Yoko is special, right?
I heard there's someone who works in the public aquarium.
I think, it's just a lie. - Ah, I also heard that rumor!
There are some rumors like that, right?
They say, some "people" are working in a public aquarium or a gas station.
Kyoko, don't you know it?
I never heard about it.
Because Kyoko is too serious, everyone might find it hard to tell you about that.
Right, Tomo?
No, I also..
Ah, Tomo..
You heard that rumor, right?
So, there's someone who works in a gas station..
Both of them are from Yoko?
That's what I heard. - But it's just a rumor, right?
What is this?
So they can keep their eyes on us, even after we leave this place.
You still want to be manipulated by that girl?
I wonder what Manami is doing right now..
Are you still thinking about the lost transmitter?
Ah..
Any reply? - Not yet.
You don't have to be worried like this, right?
Because even the smallest hole..
...will become a large hole, one day.
There you are, Kyoko..
I need to tell you something.
I think, you shouldn't cook alone.
Why? - Aguri-san looks so vexed.
She said, "How dare she did that?!"
But, she also said that we can do as we like, right?
Yes, but you misunderstand her.
Everyone rely on Aguri-san because she is good at cooking.
Then, Kyoko came and stole her place.
Then, she shouldn't tell us to do as we like.
Don't be mad at me!
Kyoko, you look so grumpy today..
What's happened?
Hm?
Why did you lie?
Eh? Lie?
About someone who is able to work.
There is no such rumor, right?
Ah, about that..
I only said that to ease our conversation.
Miwa is not me.
So you can easily say that to ease your conversation, huh?
What's wrong with you, Kyoko?
You're not like usual.. - Nothing happened.
You're so good at soccer!
I was aiming to be a soccer player.
Hoo~
I didn't know that I have to be a carer soon, and then, be a donor after that.
But I can't help but liking things I like, right?
Liking things you like...?
To be honest, I think what you're doing right now, is bad for those two's friendship.
Eh? - You have to do something.
You always keep you eyes on Kyoko-chan, right?
Eh? - You didn't realize it?
Did I really do that?
Ah, forget it.
What's more important is that you make Miwa-chan angry and hurts Kyoko-chan.
Does Miwa hurt Kyoko?
Well, women tend to do things they couldn't say through words.
But they're friends, right?
They're so close..
However, what you're doing right now..
...is actually hurting Miwa-chan, right?
You guys are dating, right?
But if you plan to make a move on Kyoko-chan..
I won't say anything about it, but..
(Tomo farts)
Hah?
What the heck?!
Hey!
Do you get what I mean?
Hey, wait a sec!
Tomo..
Can we talk for a while?
Talk?
Yes.
We just knew a lot of new things, so I want to discuss it with you..
Tomo?
I think, it's better if you discuss it with the others.
We just came to a new place.
Isn't it better for you to make new friends?
You're right..
Ok, I will do that.
Bye~
Since then..
I started to shut myself off.
After that, I just realized that I wore Momo's pants.
I refused to open up to others..
...and chose not to have fun.
So, you want to break up with me? - I never meant to say that.
I looked down on those veterans who only focused on sexual relationship.
*Veterans refer to older 'people' who had already been at the Cottages before Kyoko, Tomo, and Miwa arrived. We call them "veterans" because the book used that term.*
That way..
I think, I can protect myself.
"Hey, Watanabe-kun?" Naoko whispered it to my ears.
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
That book is quite pervert, right?
Do you need something?
Hm?
Kyoko-chan..
You think, we are just a bunch of fools, right?
No, I don't.
Well, it's okay if you do.
But, you know..
After we become a carer, there will be almost no private time for us.
Everyday, we will have to take care of the donors.
After that, our turns to become donors will come.
When we become donors, we can only go back and forth between hospital and the caring center.
After that, we'll get the "completion".
*The word "completion" refers to a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations*
I'm just trying to say that..
Being here is our only chance to enjoy our freedom.
That's why we spend our days here by desperately doing something we can enjoy!
Though, it makes us look like fools.
Things that everyone does..
...are not something I can enjoy.
Move aside!
Here. Take this, you calves!
*Minegishi-san mocks everyone who's only eating and breast-feeding (having sex) like calves*
Becomes so fat~ so fat~
Because they often suckle (breast-feed), right?
Manami?
"Kyoko, how are you doing?"
Minegishi-san!
Where is Kyoko going?
Maybe she looks for another cottage.
Eh? - Because she doesn't fit with anyone here.
Maybe, she wants to move to another cottage.
Impossible..
Kyoko!
I only say this for your own sake.
If you try to escape, they will find you.
And you will be forced to do a complete donation.
"Complete Donation"?
It means, they will cut open your body and take out your organs, once and for all.
Miwa, you don't want to eat?
Kyoko may be gone forever..
What should I do if Kyoko's gone?
There is nothing we can do if she really wants to go.
So you're okay if Kyoko's gone?
If only you treat her well, it wouldn't have come to this.
Lately, you didn't even talk to her.
Tomo, do you really hate me?
Eh? - That's why you said cruel things to me!
I didn't mean it that way! - Bring Kyoko back!
Since you're my boyfriend, at least, you should be able to bring her back!
(dog barks)
This way?
"White Mansion"
It's white, indeed.
Kyoko!
Is it easy to find?
Kyoko?
I'm so relieved to see your face, Manami.
This is the meeting room.
This is a place to learn about society and to form a group with people who have the same hobby.
They do what they like.
Kyoko..
Ah, thank you. - You're welcome.
It feels good here. - You think so?
Compared to my cottage.. how should I say it?
They only do sex, right?
That's what they do in almost every cottage.
Well, I didn't mean to talk bad about them..
Eh? Are they people from the "outside"?
Where did you get that thing?
We have a rebel movement.
That's where we get this.
Tatsuko-sensei was also part of that movement.
Tatsuko-sensei too?
Maybe, Tatsuko-sensei wanted to open our eyes about the world.
But then, "such thing" happened.
What do you mean? - Manami!
Is she Hoshina-san?
*Hoshina Kyoko*
Since we were born to this world, we already got a lot of pressures.
Let's fight for our rights!
What kind of "rights"?
Basically, human rights.
Freedom to live without being threatened and freedom to be able to live as we will.
As we will...?
Living without having rights to decide our own future is so irrational, right?
Yes, you're right!
I didn't know there are some people who do this movement.
Because our movement is quite confined.
We don't want it to be reported by media.
Why?
Because no one wants to reveal their identities.
Both TV and newspapers have been controlled (by the government / people out there).
They even steal the fertility rights!
Whenever a woman gets pregnant with her own egg, they operate her so that it won't grow into a child.
Because the world will be troubled if the number of people increases.
They have given up all the natural things.
But fighting those natural things by doing this, is wrong.
*By "doing this", she may refer to either "creating human clones" or "stealing fertility rights".*
Absolutely wrong!
I have to go back.
Or else, I'll get punished.
*she refers to the "complete donation" which she'll be forced to do if she doesn't come back to her cottage*
Moreover, your friendship with Miwa is drifting apart, right?
Then, how about moving here?
Even if you refuse to join this movement, at the end, both of us will get "killed", right?
That's why..
Let's fight!
Nothing will change if we don't fight!
But..
Because of our existences..
A lot of people will be saved, right?
The talk about "angels" or "missions", was only to brainwash your mind!
*Brainwashing is the attempt to change the thoughts and beliefs of another person against their will.*
Because people out there only see us as their "livestocks".
If we want to fight, we have to do it now!
But..
However..
I still want to live a bit longer.
Sorry..
Are you okay with that, Kyoko?
Thank you for today.
What are you doing?
Things from Miwa's treasure box?
Miwa was so angry and she threw these away, but then she looked so regret.
So, I try to collect things that look precious to her.
I think, this is precious to her.
Thank you.
Do you want to eat something?
No, I already ate before.
Oh..
So, you went to Manami's mansion?
How is she doing?
She is fine.
Do you..
Do you plan to move there?
Why?
Miwa looks so worried.
Manami..
She lives to the fullest.
She has something she wants to do.
She even asked me to join her.
Then, will you go with her?
Doing that thing..
I can't do that.
Though our free time only lasts for 3 years..
I'm the only one who haven't done anything.
I don't have any accomplishment.
I also have nothing. - You know..
I always looked down on all veterans here.
*Veterans refer to older 'people' who had already been at the Cottages before Kyoko, Tomo, and Miwa arrived. We call them "veterans" because the book used that term.*
Is there nothing they can do besides keep changing love-partner in this small cottage?
But..
There is nothing else, right?
If we want to fill our time with happiness, there is no other way but doing that, right?
Fall in love with someone..
..and get to hear a love confession.
Kyoko..
You have a lot of good sides.
If you let people see it, you will get a lot of love confessions.
How about Tomo?
Will you confess to me?
(someone is coming)
Sorry..
I was kidding.
Okay.
If you don't come back, Miwa will be worried, right?
Yes.
Kyoko..
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I don't want it!
I don't want..
I don't want it.
I don't want! I don't want! I don't want!
I don't want it!
What's wrong?
I don't want to be alone.
I don't want to be "completed" while feeling so lonely like this.
*she doesn't want to keep being alone until the time she get the "completion" (a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations)*
That day..
I finally understood.
We can't change the world.
But, if we hug each other..
In this world, there is no one but us.
I finally understood that.
Kyoko..
I knew you would come.
What a useless woman!
But..
Besides her, is there anyone else who really wants to meet me?
Don't do it again!
Yes.
I also have no one else but this woman.
[6 Months After Graduation]
Kyoko..
Look!
How could you get this?
What does it mean?
Are you...?
Do you really wish them to be happy?
Well then, let's talk about that.
I decided to establish Yoko Institute..
