Yes.
Yes...
Misono General Hospital. I'll go there right away.
SOME DAY, WHEN WE REMEMBER THIS LOVE, WE WILL SURELY CRY
Translation: Sanashi Timing: Cubical Noses
Sugihara-san? She's still inside.
She was unconscious when they brought her in.
It seems she was attacked by a bag snatcher, fell, and hit her head.
Have you noticed?
Lately, even when she hears a helicopter, Konatsu doesn't get scared.
Yeah.
Haruta.
Thank you.
What are you playing at?
If we don't finish three of these by tomorrow morning, I won't make it in time.
Okay. Okay~
Kiho-chan
Yes?
To Misono General Hospital.
She incurred a small injury to the cranial nerve and lost consciousness.
The clinical name is diffuse axonal injury.
The neurons inside her brain have been torn.
Her life isn't in danger, is it?
There have been exceptions, but generally speaking, it's not.
First of all, let's wait for her to regain consciousness.
Please wait here.
Yeah, it's fine.
That's right.
Yeah.
Since I can't get back, continue without me.
Yes?
Um...
This person. The girl who wore this coat. Where is she?
In intensive care.
She hasn't been healed yet?
That's her bag, isn't it?
Yeah.
She was taken in an ambulance, so I kept it.
Are you the bag snatcher's victim?
Is that what he was?
That boy wasn't to blame.
Despite returning it, he was chased, kicked and captured by the police.
By boy you mean the criminal?
Did you see the criminal hurt her?
He's not a criminal. He apologized!
He's not innocent when he hurt someone. You're wrong!
That happened after everyone gathered around. He's a bag snatcher!
She knows what really happened.
No one would listen to me, so I want her to go to the police and tell them the truth.
That he's not a criminal.
She's unconscious right now!
What?
Cola, juice or tea?
What would you like?
I'm sorry.
She was hurt because of me.
She should have just left me alone.
She wouldn't do that.
She wouldn't just walk by.
The one who hurt her wasn't that boy.
Another man, who tried to capture that boy, knocked into her.
[I hope you'll meet that one person.]
[My beloved Oto. I love you. Please be happy.]
[Mother]
To Mother
Her mother's letter.
I've heard about it before.
About how...
Soda-san went to Hokkaido to return it.
I wondered what I'd have done, if it were me.
If I'd do what Soda-san had done.
Normally, no one would.
This...
is something she wrote recently, I believe.
I think...
her true feelings might be written in here.
Me...
or Soda-san...
Who she chose...
must be...
in here...
Don't worry. She...
She chose you.
Right now,
as her lover,
you should pray for her wellbeing.
Yes.
Get that button.
Lively shopping distict
5 years after the Tohoku Earthquake
It's fine as it is!
I won't quit.
Okay.
She is awake.
I wonder if it's related to something before the accident... She keeps saying it's not his fault, save him.
The bag snatcher perhaps?
Please wait a moment.
Excuse me.
She's laughing.
I'm sorry,
I'll...
excuse myself now.
You won't meet her?
If you're holding back because of me...
Please take care of her.
Come in.
I fell down. Silly girl! What were you thinking!
Sorry.
Thank you.
You just took a tumble.
Do you know what happened to that boy?
The one who was there when I got hurt.
The bag snatcher? No, he wasn't.
He was forgiven.
And he returned it... It seems the criminal was arrested.
I have to help him. Oto-chan.
I think...
Ren went to do that.
At any rate, honestly tell them what you saw.
I'll come with you.
Ren-kun!
Oh!
I'm glad it worked out.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
We just went to the hospital,
but she's already been discharged.
I see.
Could you...
give her this?
I'll give you her address,
so you can give it to her directly.
If I don't air this room, it gets humid right away.
Is there anything you need to buy?
I'm good. Thanks.
Ah, yeah.
The other day, we were talking about this.
Oto-chan.
Yeah?
I haven't been able to tell you, but...
omiai - arranged marriage
Father ordered me to have an omiai.
It's not what we discussed the other day, but...
Marriage is...
not something I can decide on by myself.
Maybe spend some time apart...
Or should we break up? I'm sorry.
What?
I'm making you to lie like that.
It's not a lie. It is. -It's not!
I don't love you anymore.
I'd already decided... It's not something you decide.
Love is not something you decide.
It happens without warning.
But I shouldn't say that after making you decide.
While you were sleeping,
I read your mother's letter.
I don't mind if I'm not your first choice.
I'm fine being second. I said so, but...
I was wrong.
Because there is no order
when it comes to people you care for.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
I took advantage of you kindness and didn't give you an out.
You can't...
choose me.
I don't...
love you anymore.
Here.
Let's have...
dinner again sometime?
The four of us.
Yes?
Yes.
This is Hayashida Oto.
What's up with those clothes? I came for a job interview.
They really took to you.
Because I'm good at lying.
It's easy to fool people.
The other day, a person who works here told me.
Kids don't lie.
When they do, it's because no one believed them when they told the truth.
Oh?
Haruta.
You don't need to lie to me.
Or should I say...
I'll take in all your lies and truths and believe them.
Your mean side,
your contrary side,
your childlike impertinent side... All of it.
And then, someday, you'll be able to be honest...
What's wrong?
What?
Are you crying?
Konatsu-chan?
Hm?
I...
I love you, Konatsu-chan.
Since the first time I met you....
I've loved you so much.
1 month later
1, 2, 3... Huh?
You're not even family, so don't meddle!
Okay.
More importantly...
What happened to Sugihara-san?
Don't meddle!
That's not what I mean!
Have you heard if she's had any lasting effects or if she's fine already?
Good morning. Good morning.
The weather is nice today. The weather is nice today.
I've decided to work at the inn at my wife's home.
Hang in there.
Rather than selling off the properties, we should profit a lot by producing a successor.
The results of that would come in 10 or 20 years.
Yes.
I'm already thinking about the time when I've taken over the leadership.
If you want to have it your way, first tell me about the profit.
Do it over.
What's this?
Ordering me like this...
Yes!
I'm heading out for a bit. Okay.
Sabiki-san, who made that for you?
Shuddup! Don't look!
A heart! -Shut up! Quiet! Did you get a girlfriend? -Shut up!
It's spring. Would you like to see cherry blossoms?
You're Sugihara-san's...
From the hospital.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Is Sugihara-san...
doing well?
Shugihara-san...
resigned.
She's returning to Hokkaido.
Come in please.
The old man who took care of her since she was a child passed away.
She always went to Hokkaido once a month or so.
It appears that his wife can't survive on her own, so she decided to return.
Yesterday, we had a simple farewell party.
What about Ibuki-san?
It seems he's having an omiai.
What are you doing? Let's head to the next place.
Okay.
To Mother.
How many years has it been since I wrote you a letter?
It's been a long time, Mom.
I've turned 27.
I am doing really well.
Somehow...
I ended up...
living in Tokyo.
In a town called Yukigaya Ootsuka, that has many hills.
In an apartment above a ramen shop.
These days, I'm always...
working as a carer.
I have good qualifications.
I hope for days off
and higher wages.
It really is tough.
But then...
When someone thanks me,
I feel glad I did my best.
Hard work is rewarded sometimes.
I can't save up money.
But...
I have enough for myself.
When something good happens,
I recall it at night, while I sleep.
It makes me feel warm inside.
And then, when I wake, a new day has come.
To me...
Memories are enough.
If you stand atop of a hill,
you can look over Tokyo's towns at night.
Standing there...
I like to imagine the people I've never met.
Just now, beneath that pylon,
a girl dropped her scarf.
A boy from the bakery picked it up.
Thanks.
Take care.
On a bus running through the city late at night,
sitting on the third seat from the back,
are a mover
and a care worker.
You're working hard.
You are too.
Many people...
live in this town.
Sometimes I wonder.
Is this world...
something beautiful?
Or is it frightening?
Maybe it's all mixed together.
That's why...
White peach
You won't find nice things, unless you look for them.
There was a person who taught me that.
The view I saw alone
and the view we saw together
were completely different.
I have a request for you.
Please keep...
my love locked away.
You know...
just like you said I would...
I met a person I fell in love with.
I fell fully in love.
I want to tell my six year old self...
Some day,
you will stop being alone.
That person will appear in a truck.
In the back of the truck,
there will be many cans of peaches piled up.
If you give him a candy,
he'll eat it by crushing it with his teeth.
When you fall in love...
There will be twice as many fun things.
The sad things will be halved.
Wait until then.
I'd tell her to hang in there and wait.
This love...
is my precious memory.
Mom...
please...
keep it locked away.
My beloved mother.
I'll write to you again.
Goodbye.
Sugihara Oto
Sugihara-san!
Sugihara-san,
where are you now?
What?
I'm in front of your apartment.
Where are you?
In Hokkaido.
I just got here.
Are you okay with that?
In that case... I just got back to where I started.
I'll just live in this town again. Nothing has changed.
The streets, the train station, family restaurant...
It's all the same.
I'm hanging up.
Please wait!
What?
I...
still haven't gotten your answer.
I'll...
go there.
I'll wait for you...
at 6pm on Monday.
At that family restaurant.
Sugihara-san.
Please sit here.
Coffee, please.
Right away.
Hello.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Coffee, please.
Aren't you hungry?
Just the coffee. Right away.
I just took a look...
They have all sorts of things.
Desserts and such.
Thank you...
for coming, despite my selfishness.
It's okay.
Please accept
my condolences.
How is your auntie?
Her physical condition.
Her legs aren't good.
So you have to constantly care for her?
Thank you for waiting.
Thank you.
I was shocked.
You moved away so suddenly.
I'm sorry. It's okay.
It's just that...
When I saw your empty room...
Somehow...
Is that so.
Because you said you liked that room.
It was an awful room!
The condensation was severe.
If I didn't air it every day, it'd get moldy.
It was far from the train station and had no elevator.
You also had to quit your job, didn't you.
Finally!
After working so hard.
I did and yet...
After working for 5 years, I didn't get a raise even once.
It was an awful place to work.
The farewell party... Enough about Tokyo.
Pretty much...
only bad things happened there, so I don't want to remember.
I've forgotten about it already.
There were some good... There weren't!
Not one good thing happened in Tokyo.
Isn't it enough already?
Won't you eat something?
I'm hungry.
Why don't you just eat alone?
Because it's been a while...
since we've eaten together.
Not really.
Something simple is fine.
We'll eat quickly.
Just in case...
I'll order for two, okay?
The last time we were here...
What burgers did we order?
So...
Should we order one with grated daikon
and one with demi-glace? Let's order two and split them.
I'm pressing it.
One grated daikon and one demi-glace hamburger set.
Tomato.
One grated daikon
and one demi-glace. Those two, please.
Right away.
We'll split them like we did before.
It was tomato! What?
Last time, we ordered tomato sauce and grated daikon.
It doesn't matter.
That's right.
The tomato one.
It was delicious, wasn't it.
I don't remember.
Back then, you...
What?
Since furniture stores in Tokyo are big,
you asked if it's true you could get lost in one.
I didn't say that. You did!
Did you get lost?
Not in a furniture store.
Where did you get lost?
Roppongi Hills.
Why are you laughing?
You...
used to go to Roppongi Hills?
Since I lived in Tokyo for 6 years,
I went a few times.
While there,
did you go like this?
Well, yeah, I did...
A sempai at work told me...
Don't look up at buildings!
If you do, you'll be exposed as a country bumpkin.
Speaking of which, all hungry dogs always look up, don't they?
Hungry dogs?!
Even Sasuke.
When he's hungry, he'll look up, too.
And he was born and raised in Tokyo!
Is Sasuke...
doing well?
I got him into the bath yesterday, and he fled.
It's his face.
He hates getting it wet.
Lately, he's come to resemble you.
You're wrong! He resembles you. No. He goes...
That's just you making weird faces.
It's not funny at all.
Next time...
I'll bring Sasuke along.
I think he misses you too.
It is...
far way. There's even a shinkansen now.
I'll put him into one of those.
Will he fit?
I'll bring him along.
I'll come with Sasuke.
If I'm bothering you...
I... You're not.
I'm happy.
Of course I'm happy.
I'm extremely happy right now. That you came.
You know...
Yes?
Actually,
auntie told me,
"You don't have to come."
"Stay in Tokyo," she said.
Yes.
But I couldn't. She can't live alone.
Yes.
And also...
There's Ibuki-san.
Because he's so kind...
Because he was so kind...
I can't return to Tokyo.
I'll live here.
Okay.
Mr. Mover...
Yes?
I love you.
I love you...
I really do!
Send me Sasuke's photos.
I want to put them up.
Everyday, I'll go to sleep looking at them.
Will you send them to me?
I will.
Thank you.
Now I can go back to the where I started, feeling at ease.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Here are the grated daikon hamburger and
the tomato sauce hamburger.
Please enjoy.
Why did we get the tomato sauce one?
Lucky, right?
Does such trivial luck exist?
I'll split them okay?
Okay.
You're not back to where you started.
What? Sugihara-san.
You're not back to where you started!
The you I met here back then
and the current you are completely different.
You may have experienced hardships, but...
you're completely different.
It may seem like you haven't changed,
but you're completely different.
As someone who did their best...
Who lived by doing their best...
It may not be visible to the naked eye,
but such things...
leave a mark on the heart.
On your heart...
On the hearts of those you've met...
On my heart.
Hokkaido isn't far!
I'll come many times.
There are...
roads, after all.
And I'll take them.
By car.
Or by train.
And we're yet to follow through...
with our plan to go to Aizu.
I want to show you lake Inawashiro.
I want you to try my grandpa's daikon.
As long as there are roads...
and plans...
With a little luck,
we'll meet again.
We will.
Me too...
I love you, too.
Okay.
Let's dig in.
Delicious. Yeah.
It's still snowing.
You're right.
There's snow on you. Huh?
You too. Huh?
Exit here, turn right, then left.
A shortcut?
No.
The long way round.
