Kokoro
Blue Literature
Aoi Bungaku
Kokoro.
Host Sakai Masato
The first chapter showed Sensei's love for Ojou-san,
his friendship with and betrayal of K, and K's suicide,
from Sensei's point of view.
Teacher
The final chapter
will venture beyond the original work and show the story from K's point of view.
How will the two men look in K's eyes?
And also, why did K decide to commit suicide?
Suicide
They are evergreen because they are masterpieces.
They are

masterpieces
"Kokoro," final chapter.
Please watch.
Ma'am, this is K, the person I talked to you about earlier.
Nice to meet you.
Ojou-san...
was like a sunflower.

Hey.
Can't you be more friendly?
There's a small connecting room here.
You can stay in my room, or...
This place will do fine.
Excuse me.
Yes.
K-san will stay in that room?
Apparently.
That room is small,
but it connects to the middle garden.
Right, Sensei?
Sensei, she says?
Ojou-san calls me that in order to make fun of me.
I'm not making fun of you.
You're always reading books, just like a teacher.
By your standards, anyone could be a teacher.
You're so mean.
That's right, K-san.
The room is cold, isn't it?
We have an old, unused brazier.
It's fine.
You can share the fire here until you go to bed.
No, it's fine.
Why?
Aren't you cold?
I am cold, but I don't need it.
What a strange person.
I like playing the koto.
Effort and talent seem to be different things.
Then maybe it's hereditary?
You could say that.
I know because I asked father.
Are all women this noisy?
You're studying?
I've warmed some sweet wine.
Do you want a drink?
I'm fine.
You're always like that.
It's torn.
Take it off.
Leave me alone.
Hey! Stop it!
Are you embarrassed?
It's not like that.
Then, take it off.
There's no need!
S-Stop!
I'm home.
Ma'am?
You're not home?
I'm confused.
Is she making fun of me?
Why is she meddling with me?
You've been coming home early.
Because the classes are boring.
How are you getting along with Ojou-san?
Women aren't all that bad, right?
But...
But what?
I have no idea what women are thinking.
What do you mean?
Women don't seem interested in learning.
That's because men and women study different things.
It's the same.
Those who do not want to advance spiritually are fools.
Once you've lost your humanity, it's over.
Are you saying I'm not human?
I didn't say that.
You're actually quite human.
You're making fun of me.
You can be quite small-minded when you speak.
Is that because you're part of the elite?
Hey, hey, aren't you rather emotional today?
Don't tell me, you and Ojou-san...
What are you saying?
Right, after all.
I can't imagine you and Ojou-san...
Of course.
Women interfere with training.
That's right.
K-san.
That's a cold hand.
Let's go back together.
He saw me?
Sorry.
Yeah.
Why are you doing this?
Did he ask you?
He asked me.
But he didn't tell me to go this far.
I have a favor to ask you.
Take me away from this house.
Why?
I don't want to spend my whole life bound to this house.
That's impossible.
Coward.
There's no way I could do it!
Hey.
K, is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Really?
Then it's fine.
Good night.
What should I do?
K.
What's troubling you?
Tell me.
What should I do with my feelings?
Save me.
I love... Ojou-san.
Please.
Say something.
Do you look down on me?
Please.
Run away with me.
What's wrong?
My mother...
My mother, on her own...
has made a decision about my marriage.
I don't have any time left.
But...
Please.
Go with me!
What do you want?
I'm studying.
Please.
Give me a bit of time.
Tell me.
You should understand, even if I don't say it.
I'm asking you.
What should I do?
Are you asking me whether you should advance or back off?
To start, if you did want to back off, could you do it?
Those who do not want to advance spiritually are fools, right?
I am a fool.
Let's stop talking about this.
Forget it.
You're so selfish.
You're the one who asked.
Even if you say to forget about it,
that isn't really possible.
Unless you are prepared.
Prepared?
If you're asking about being prepared, I am.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, say you're going to school,
and leave home as usual.
I'll be waiting at the station.
You caught a cold?
I wonder.
You should rest well today.
Let me do that.
I'll be home late today.
Did something happen?
No.
It's nothing serious.
I'm going.
Yeah.
See you.
How are you feeling?
Sorry, Ojou-san.
Ah.
You're carrying a lot of things today.
Your studies must be difficult.
Ma'am...
I won't need dinner tonight.
Training again?
I have some business.
Is that right?
By the way...
what are your plans after graduating next spring?
I haven't decided yet.
Actually, about you living here...
This is difficult to say.
Still, I think you should start looking for a new place right away.
You know, you wouldn't want to live with newlyweds, would you?
What are you talking about?
Even though you're his friend.
I thought you were holding back in various ways.
His friend, you say...
That's why, when my daughter gets married,
leave this house.
Married?
My, you didn't know?
I wonder why he hid it?
I thought you were good friends.
Both of them must've felt embarrassed.
You should be happy too.
When is the marriage ceremony?
The date hasn't been decided yet,
but I was thinking about right after graduation.
I want to help celebrate in some way,
but I don't have any money, so I can't give anything.
Is Ojou-san lying?
Did the two of them betray me?
What's the meaning of this?
Aren't you sick?
Yeah.
You should go to the hospital.
You have the money.
I'm fine.
I'm going this way.
Is that right?
You have some business today.
Speaking of that, Ojou-san said something similar.
Some business, she said?
Yeah.
I wonder what it is?
Is he making fun of me?
How can he talk like that?
Is he making fun of me, knowing our intention to elope?
Are you okay?
You seem pale.
Ojou-san, you...
Hey, K...
See you.
The first snow.
It's true that if you hadn't been there...
I might be dead now.
You had everything. You probably can't even imagine it.
There are some things that people just can't give up.
She...
is mine!
Ojou-san.
Thank you.
For smiling at me... for giving me warmth...
Ojou-san, I am grateful.
