Please watch the final episode of "Kokoro".
Madam, this is K, the man who I told you about the other day.
Pleased to meet you.
She was like a sunflower.

Hey...
Can't you be more friendly?
There's a small anteroom here.
You can either use my room or...
Here is fine.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Oh my, K chose that room?
So it seems.
That room is small, but it's connected to the yard, right Teacher?
Teacher?
Yeah, she calls me that as a joke.
It's no joke, you're always reading books.
With your standards, anyone could be a teacher.
That was mean!
Oh yes, K.
Isn't that room cold?
We have an unused brazier, but it's old.
I'm fine.
We can warm ourselves here at the fire before you get into your futon.
No thanks.
Why not?
Aren't you cold?
Even so, I don't need it.
What a strange man.
I love playing the koto.
It seems effort is separate from talent.
Then what about heredity?
You didn't have to say that!
I know that from my dad.
Are all women so noisy?
Studying?
I made some amazake.
Want to have some together?
No thanks.
You're always like that.
It's torn.
Take it off.
Leave it alone.
Hey, stop that!
Are you embarrassed?
Not at all!
Then take it off.
There's no need!
S... S... S...
I'm home.
Madam?
Are you here?
I'm confused.
Is she making fun of me?
Why does she care about me?
You've been going home early lately.
Classes are boring.
How is it living together with her?
Those women aren't that bad, right?
But...
But what?
I don't get what those women are thinking.
What do you mean?
It doesn't seem like they're trying to learn something.
That's because men and women learn different things.
Same thing.
Those who don't want to improve themselves mentally are fools.
Once you lose your humanity, you're done for.
Are you saying I'm not human?
I didn't say that.
Actually, you're quite the human.
You're making a fool of me, aren't you?
Throwing your words around.
Pretending to be training.
Now now.
You're as emotional as hell today.
You're not in love with her, are you?
What are you saying?
You do, right?
You love her...
Isn't it obvious?
Women get in the way of training.
Indeed they do.
K!
Your hand is cold.
Let's go home together.
Did he see us?
Sorry about this.
Yeah...
Why are you doing this?
Did he ask you to?
He did.
But he didn't tell me to go this far.
I see.
Okay then.
Good night.
G'night.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Take me away from here.
Why?!
I don't want to be stuck here forever.
I can't.
Coward.
How could I possibly do that?
Hey.
K, did something happen?
No, nothing.

What should I do?
K, are you worried about something?
Tell me.
What should I do about these feelings?
Save me.
I love her!
I beg of you.
Say something!
Do you despise me?
Please!
Run away with me.
What's wrong with you?
My mother...
My mother accepted a proposal without asking me.
We're out of time!
But...
Please!
Live with me!
What do you want?
I'm studying.
Please, spare me some time.
Tell me...
I bet you know already.
I'm asking you for advice.
What should I do?
Are you asking whether to advance or retreat?
Would you be able to retreat even if you decided to?
Aren't those who don't want to improve themselves mentally fools?
No, I'm the fool.
Let's drop this.
Forget about it.
How selfish.
You're the one who brought it up.
Besides, you can't really forget what you want to forget.
Unless you have the determination to do so.
Determination?
I do have some.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, you'll leave home as usual.
I'll be waiting at the station.
Did you catch a cold?
I don't know.
You should rest today.
Please let me do so.
I might come home late today.
Did something happen?
No, nothing special.
I'll get going.
Okay.
Have a good day.
How are you today?
I'm sorry, Miss.
Oh my.
You have a large bag today.
Studying must be tough.
Madam, there's no need to make me dinner tonight.
Training again?
I have things to do.
I see.
By the way.
What are you planning to do after you graduate in spring?
I haven't decided yet.
Actually, about this house...
It's hard for me to say this, but...
I think that from now on, you should be looking for a new place.
You wouldn't want to live with newlyweds, right?
What's this about?
I know you're friends and all, but still...
I think you should take them into consideration too.
Friends, huh.
So, when my daughter gets married,
Please leave this house.
Married?
Oh no, you didn't know?
I wonder why he hid it from you.
And you all get along so well.
They must both be embarrassed.
Please be glad for them too.
When's the wedding?
We haven't decided on the date yet,
but I guess it'll be soon after they graduate.
I'd like to present them a gift,
but I can't since I have no money.
Was she lying to me?
Did they both betray me?
What's the meaning of this?
Aren't you sick?
Yes.
Shouldn't you go to a doctor?
You can afford it.
I already feel better.
I'm going this way.
I see.
You have things to do today, right?
By the way, she told me the same thing.
That she has things to do?
Yeah.
I wonder what kind of things.
Is he making a fool of me?
Why is he saying it like that?
Did she make fun of me by promising to run away together?
Are you all right?
You look pale.
She loves you!
Hey, K.
Well then.
The first snow.
There's no doubt that I might've been dead by now
if it hadn't been for you.
A guy like you who has everything...
Could never imagine that people have things they can't give up...
She's mine!
Miss...
Thank you.
For smiling and giving me warmth.
Miss...
I'm grateful to you.
Winter this year was warm
In order to find something...
Even if we oversleep,
we still wake up every day.
It's not too late.
We say "hello".
Put on a smile,
no matter how small it is.
Every waking moment,
this world needs you.
It's not too late.
We say "hello".
