Sugihara-san.
I love you.
I'm back.
Thanks for earlier.
Did you return by train?
Yeah. I see.
Outside, just now, the couple from next door were having a fight.
The wife made French toast, so then he said, "Why'd you make fried tofu so early in the day?"
Saying that and getting angry. I wonder what kind of fried tofu...
Ah. I mean, what kind of French toast was it.
What was it?
What was the name of the couple next door?
Wasn't it some funny name?
Kamikawa-san? What was it?
Should I leave?
I came without asking.
I put Sugihara-san on the spot.
I insisted.
I don't care.
Since I am here, could we talk for a bit?
There's nothing to talk about.
Just a bit. There isn't.
Soda-san.
Here.
What was their name? The couple next door.
Shimoda-san. Ah, that's right.
And the ones on the 2nd floor? Kamigawa-san.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kamigawa-san is below
"kami" in Kamigawa is written as "above" and "shimo" in Shimoda as "below"
and Shimoda-san is above, so it's difficult to remember.
Welcome back.
What's that?
Nothing.
What did Konatsu do today? We were bowling all day.
Um... Please, come in.
I apologize for what I just did.
For practically sending you away.
No...
I'm not worried about us.
We've been together for two years, and we're discussing marriage.
You too should be sensible from now on.
Otherwise,
if you refuse to comply,
then let's make an agreement.
Allow me to give you a token of gratitude.
Gratitude for settling this.
Settling?
Consolation money, right? I'm paying you off, so stay away.
Well...
Um... For both our sakes,
I think it's best not to talk about emotions.
You can't buy Ren's love!
Ren's love is not something you can buy with money.
There's nothing you can trade for it.
That's not what I'm... Leave. Leave, now.
Konatsu. If you don't, I'll tell Sugihara-san.
Konatsu.
She's right.
Here.
How stupid are you?
Don't underestimate Ren's love for Sugihara-san.
Father
Yes?
At times, life is tough, but you can forget about it when you're in love.
Fall in love. Then, some day
I hope you'll meet that one person.
Translation: Sanashi Timing: Cubical Noses
SOME DAY, WHEN WE REMEMBER THIS LOVE, WE WILL SURELY CRY
I want to reach 80...
Why can't I be good? Even you are good.
Huh?
Delicious, isn't it?
What?!
Sugihara-san, are your shifts hard?
Want to ease up?
They're no different than usual.
Anything you'd change around here?
The mirror in the staff toilet has been broken for ages.
Let's change it.
We'll change it right away.
Change it!
Someone from the head office said so, but... You're not really marrying Ibuki-san, right?
Really? You decided?
What, really?! Did I say really?
Sorry. So it's true...
It's true! Congratulations.
She's getting married to Ibuki-san.
Yeah... Yeah.
Ren is back.
Mom.
Hello? It's Ren.
It's been so long.
Yes. Yes.
Vegetables? Ah, thank you.
Konatsu? Konatsu is...
She's doing her best, as usual. Please don't worry.
I think she's found her own path.
What?
Mutou-san?
Yes, I know him.
Harvesting daikon?
What?
Daikon from grandpa's seeds?
Grandpa's daikon?
I understand.
I'll think about it.
Yes.
Yes. Later, then.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Bye.
She asked you to go help pick daikon?
Why not go?
But...
Ren-kun.
Kiho-chan?
Hey.
Why not use that to make raincoats, even if you won't sell them?
Making raincoats is no fun.
It's not what you do, it's who you do it with.
Huh?
It'll be fun if there's someone making it fun for you.
When I'm with you, I have fun no matter what we do.
Why don't you simply say "I love you"?
Hm?
You're always like that.
Saying you don't mind being Ren's second.
Introducing me to jobs, helping me.
Everything you say sounds fake somehow.
Your love feels contrived.
What is it with you?
Are you hiding something?
One. I was raised by wolves.
Two. I'm not an Earthling.
Three. My parents were a loveless couple.
Both of them had lovers.
But in front of the child, they pretended to get along.
I hated that, so at 15, I left home straight from the exam hall.
Three.
Boo. (wrong)
It has to be three.
It's definitely three! It's three, isn't it.
Have you been well?
As usual.
As usual?
As usual.
It's been 5 years.
It has.
I've heard everything from Shizue-san.
But you didn't call.
Five years. Yeah.
Won't you tell me I've become a good woman?
You've become a good woman.
You shouldn't have said it!
While you were away,
a lot has changed, hasn't it?
Oto-chan has a boyfriend.
Hm?
Nothing.
Hm?
Would you like another?
Do you still love her?
You told her?
I did.
Seriously?
Someone else's girl.
Yeah.
You're laughing? Who else will do it?
Me too...
I thought to myself, "Ah!" Huh?
When I heard that Oto-chan found you,
I thought "Ah!"
I didn't go see you
because I couldn't leave the man I'm with now. But...
she went to see you.
That's how it is.
You get it, right?
You were late, you hesitated,
but you two are now in the same boat.
All you can do is go on.
There's also her partner.
There's a difference between being kind and being too kind.
Love is unfair.
It rejects the odd number. It's inevitable.
Do your best.
Because I'm also enjoying myself, as usual.
Okay.
Thank you.
There's still some left?
Have one more, at least.
Thanks for working hard. You too.
Thank you for your hard work. Oh!
I'll do that later. Thank you.
Work hard. You too.
Sugihara-san
I want to see you.

You're working hard. I want to s--
You're working hard. I can't meet you.
You're working hard. I can't meet you just yet.
I understand.
I want to hear your voice.
Hello?
It's Sugihara.
Yes.
It's Soda.
Is now...
a good time to talk?
Yes.
I'm sorry for saying something so selfish.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
It's not that...
I needed anything in particular.
It's okay.
Thank you...
for the drawing.
It's okay.
It made me very happy.
It was still unfinished.
Then...
the rest of it...
Sugihara-san.
Yes?
I've been...
thinking of going to Aizu some time.
Really?
They're growing daikon from grandpa's seeds.
They're harvesting it,
so I was asked to go and help.
It's just for one night and I plan on taking the bus back.
If it's alright...
would you come with me?
You won't?
Getting...
time off might be difficult.
Of course.
Then, if you manage somehow...
I'm sorry.
I have to get to sleep.
I'm sorry.
Good night.
Yes.
Good night.
Ibuki-kun.
Tsumura-sensei?
I'm sorry. You go on ahead. Okay.
It's been such a long time. Indeed it has. -Yes.
Are you well? Yes.
Thanks to the article you wrote,
the society took an interest and it helped us win medical lawsuits.
I didn't do anything.
Even our young lawyers often talk about you.
Even if you make mistakes, even if you fail, live by being true to yourself.
You always said that.
Enough of old stories.
Could it be that you're working here now?
Tsumura-sensei. Oh, hello.
I'll be counting on you today.
Ibuki-san.
I hope for your cooperation today.
What?
You were pushed out by the other side's lawyer and left?
I am very sorry.
Don't disappoint me.
I won't.
What about that woman? Pardon?
Someone like you should marry her quickly.
Yes. --If anything, such a poor and greedy woman is just right.
If a wife encourages you, you'll be more motivated.
That's very important.
She knew you lied, but didn't make you explain.
When I was hard on her, she didn't get angry or cry.
Maybe she's someone who already threw herself away once.
Hey, where are we going? Aren't we going bowling?
Why? When I called, they said they're practicing here starting today.
They all remembered your name.
Ooh, heave-ho! Ooh, heave-ho!
Cucumbers! Daikon! Full harvest again this year!
Full harvest. Full harvest. Full harvest.
Haruta.
You're annoying.
Sorry~
What's with you? You always, always see through me.
Sorry.
Why me?
When you're happy, you look happy.
When you're sad, you look sad.
There is no lie.
Such people... Are hard to find.
There were none.
It's okay for you to cry, too.
I wouldn't know, since I never have.
Thanks for your hard work. You too.
You're working hard.
You too.
Wanna go for a walk?
A walk?
Here.
Kintsuba.
It seems I often went with Sonoda-san.
Today, I met someone I haven't seen in a long time.
A lawyer I met while collecting data for a magazine.
Ah, from the medical lawsuit? Yes, him.
Because he only knew me back then,
he was somewhat surprised.
Just like you.
I am... I feel the same.
If I compare my old self to my current self,
I like the old me better.
Remembering how I used to be always makes me sad.
But I can no longer go back.
I don't want to lie anymore, so I'll tell you the truth.
My current job is telling honest people, working hard for the sake of their families and companies, that they've been fired.
Seizing their properties and turning them into my father's profits.
But, from tomorrow on, I'll never show that side in front of you again.
I'll always be smiling in front of you.
I'll protect your job and the room you treasure.
I'll love only you.
What do you say?
This is the best I can offer if you choose the current me.
Whoever you may love, I don't mind.
In this world, there must be many people who became happy with the people who were their second or third choice.
It doesn't have to start with love.
Let's live in the now.
Let's live together.
Delicious. It is? -Yeah.
Even the green laver.
Where is mommy?
Did you lose your mother?
Did you get separated? Mommy.
It's fine, it's fine. Let's look for her togeter.
Mommy. Mommy.
Where did you come from? Which way? Mommy.
Ryuuto!
Mommy!
Excuse me. Thank you so much.
Go on, say thank you.
See you.
Ah, excuse me. Come on, let's go.
I'm sorry!
Ren, when are you off to Aizu? I'm going the day after tomorrow.
Do you have a place to stay?
A neighbor is letting me stay over.
Take this.
Thank you.
And I think you mean going back.
I no longer have a home or family there.
You know, I was born in Tokyo,
I had no hometown to begin with, so I don't really know...
But isn't home...
all about memories?
Looking at it like that, you can have countless places to return to and make new ones.
Same goes for you!
I'll take that candy box out of your next paycheck.
What?
Work hard!
Thank you.
Can we meet tomorrow?
Sugihara-san
Yes. I finish work at 7pm.
That's nice.
No...
Let's meet outside? I'll come by your company at 7pm.
Alright.
Are you going back to Aizu together?
Ah, no.
There is a legend that couples who ride the swan boats at lake Inawashiro stay bonded forever.
Really?
Have I ever lied to you?
Have I?
You're fast.
You're in the way. Drink over there.
Ren told you he loved you, didn't he?
I told you to drink over there.
So... What are you gonna do?
We'll meet tomorrow.
That's proactive of you. Is this spicy?
It's totally delicious. Don't use weird Kansai dialect.
Ren must have told you he's going to Aizu.
Will you come with?
I won't.
Really? So why are you meeting tomorrow?
To break it off.
Why?
What do you mean why?
To properly meet and talk it out.
You chose your boyfriend?
That's right.
Why not Ren?
Help me out here. Why not Ren?
I've already decided. Why?
Kiho-chan. Why?!
Come now, Kiho-chan, you're being annoying.
I've always been an annoying woman!
Come on... Ren is the right one for you!
It was too late.
There's no such thing as late or early. There is.
I've already been with Asahi-kun for two years.
But you love Ren, right?
Two years is a long time.
I can't betray him now.
But it's fine to betray yourself? To betray your own feelings?
I've been...
doing it so far and I'm sure I can do it from now on too.
It's not worth hurting someone over. You'll hurt Ren.
It's okay if it's him. Why?
He'll understand.
You'll definitely regret this.
Thank you, Kiho-chan.
But I've already decided.
I decided it myself.
You can't turn at all! No no no no no.
Enough for you, enough. No no no, w-w-wait.
Lemme. That's not how you do it.
This is the right angle.
Yeah, check this out. Look. You're good, you're good.
Thanks for your hard work. Yeah, you too.
Get on that. Okay.
What's wrong?
What?
Come here.
What are you looking for?
A thief. A thief?
My bag was taken.
Where? By whom?
Just now, over there. A man suddenly slammed into me.
A bag snatcher?
What should I do?
Will you be okay? Where do you live?
Nara. Yoshino. I just got here.
I'll take you to a police box.
Have some candy.
Is it true that you can walk the length of one train stop in Tokyo?
It's true. You can walk for around 3 stops.
No way, 3 stops! I'm telling you it's true.
These are miracle bracelets.
I'm planning to sell these in Tokyo. Oh?
I'll give them to you. Wear them with the one you love.
No, no.
They cost 200 yen. No need to hold back.
You don't even know if they'll bring good or bad miracles.
Thank you.
The thief from earlier!
Thief. Thief.
Thief! Thief! Bag snatcher!
Is this your bag? It's mine! Give it back!
Did you use it?
Just that?
Shall we go to the police for advice? Were you...
hungry?
I'm sorry.
You took it... but if you'd told me, I'd've let you have it.
Stupid.
What is it? Will that be enough?
A bag snatcher. What?
Let's save her. Okay.
That's good, right?
I hear you're a bag snatcher.
Let's go to the police. Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Hey! Hey, wait! Hey!
Sugihara-san, it's Soda.
I called because I was wondering if lost your way.
If anything happened, please call me.
Okay, bye.
Sugihara-san.
There...
aren't many things I keep thinking about.
There's just one that never changes.
Do you remember?
We saw it on our way to Tokyo...
Where was it again?
The dawn.
We saw the dawn, didn't we?
Together, we saw the night ending.
The sun rising over the Tohoku expressway was beautiful.
And you and I were racing towards it.
It was radiant.
And you laughed a little.
I was happy.
I was dazzled.
I was thinking at the time...
May this person...
please...
find happiness.
You always
live your days to the fullest,
believing in tomorrow.
This may be a hopeless world,
but it doesn't mean none of us have hope.
When I look at you,
that's how I feel.
I...
won't change.
no matter what happens from now on.
Sugihara-san,
I will...
someday...
This is Shunju no Mori.
What?
Yes.
Kanbe-san, wait!
Shunju no Mori
Yes?
