What is this?
Isn't this a "HOME", the so-called institution managed by the government?
Aya-chan, my carer, was raised in such place.
She said, it was totally different from Yoko.
"Yoko is special."
Momo-san often said that, right?
Seems we can't get inside.
So, what should we do?
Ah..
Miwa..
Are you okay?
Miwa suffers a severe anemia.
Shall we go back to the car?
I just need a rest, then I'll be fine again.
We've done all the trouble to come here.
Well then, let's take a rest.
But if something happens..
If you'd have started your donations, you would also think like that.
Because soon, somehow, everything will come to an end.
Right?
Then, rest for a bit here.
I will find a place that's more comfortable.
Keep yourselves warm, okay?
Having the three of us go to Yoko Institute, is Miwa's last wish.
I don't know why it had to be three of us, or why it had to be Yoko, but somehow I could understand her.
Memories about the three of us..
"We decided to date."
"I will go all by myself, from now on."
..mostly consist of bitter memories.
That's why..
I wonder if she wanted to create such a beautiful memory here.
"Thank you for the good story."
Saving the best story for the last.
But you didn't even leave the room after your second donation?
Yes, I didn't! After I did my second donations, somehow I was quite calm.
Even until the last..? - Miwa! Tomo!
I found a nice place.
At least, for the last.

Here. - Thank you.
Today's menu are foods that we usually ate everytime we held Yoko's anniversary, right?
Right!
Kyoko, you remember it well.
If it was so delicious, I always wrote it down in my memo.
Kyoko, by any chance..
Do you still keep your treasure box? - Eh?
I already threw it away.
Including things that I picked up back then?
Sorry..
So cruel~
I already said sorry!
But, why did we have that?
I mean, the treasure box.
We were told to put our precious things inside that box, then we did as we're told, but we never heard the real reason, right?
Indeed, what was the purpose of that box?
To keep our bedrooms tidy, right?
I put everything inside that box.
Everyone else did the same, right?
So, that's how the boys used it?
There was someone who even kept a frog inside it.
Frog?
Yes, he also made a hole so that frog could breathe.
Inside the treasure box? - Yes.
Where are you going? - Just for a walk.
The path is quite greasy, I'll come with you.
No, it's fine.
No, you don't! What if something happens?
I said, it's fine.
I'm not a child anymore! Let me go by myself.
As always, you are too meddlesome.
Because, I am her Carer.
So, her next donation has been decided?
And, there is a high chance that she will be 'completed' after that?
*The word "that" refers to the "completion", a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations*
Today, she really wants to enjoy this trip.
So, please pretend as if you don't know.
Okay.
Somehow, you have changed.
Really? - Yes, you have.
Is it okay for you to keep playing soccer?
Which one is better?
Hoy, what are you doing here?
Wait!
I will look for Miwa. I wonder why she hasn't come back.
I'll help looking for her.. - No, just wait here and keep our things.
Are you Sakai Miwa's Carer?
Here, come in.
The inner part looks the same, right?
Yes.
18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, ...
Those children didn't look happy at all, though they were playing with a jump rope.
Not everyone likes a jump rope.
Oh..
Ah, this that room.
Ah..
How nostalgic!
Yes.
Hoy, let's go!
Are they not getting enough food?
Every child is too docile.
Is this what happenss if they have no adult to talk to?
This way.
It was Emiko-sensei's room, right?
Miwa..
Are you okay? Did you fall down?
Yoko's alumni?
Yes, we are.
We just wanted to know how Yoko looks like..
ID Number?
Okay.
People from Yoko are such a troublesome, coming all all the way here only to feel nostalgic.
Give me your card.
Sorry, I forgot to bring it.
Forgot? - Sorry..
Which center are you coming from?
Hm..
Do you escape from your center?
He doesn't escape.
I am the one who forced him to come here.
This is the last time Sakai-san could get allowed to go out, so I brought him to make her happy.
Sorry.
I will take full responsibility!
Then take responsibility by bringing him back to his center.
Okay.
Let me carry that. - No, it's fine.
I'll carry this myself.
This is mine, afterall.
Tomo, what's wrong?
Excuse me..
What is your name?
You have a name, right?
Please, move aside.
Somewhere else, there is someone whose face looks similar with mine or Miwa's, right?
She was not Kyoko.
Of course, though she has the same face.
But, both of us were created from the same Original.
*this drama uses the term "root", but we decided to use the novel's term "original" to call people who they were originally cloned from*
The exact same copy.
She is also my other self.
I can talk properly, laugh, and do such things because I was raised in Yoko. That's what I think.
I wonder what Yoko actually was.
I don't quite understand, but I think we should be grateful.
Because somehow, they granted us more time.
Yes.
Thank you for today.
I'm really glad to be able to meet the two of you.
Thank you, Miwa.
Eh?
If Miwa didn't invite me, there would be no such trip.
Forgive me.. Tomo, Kyoko.
Eh? For what?
I took Tomo from you, Kyoko.
I lied about liking Tomo.
I just wanted to separate you from each other.
I didn't want to be alone.
I couldn't bear to see the two of you feel happy.
There had to be a lot of time you could spend together.
I stole those times.
Tomo..
Here.
What is this?
Emiko-sensei's address.
Emiko-sensei's address?
How did you get it?
When I was a Carer, everytime I had a free time, I was looking for it.
Go there.
Both of you, apply for the deferral.
*there is a rumor that if a couple are truly in love and both of them can prove their loves, they will get a deferral for 3 years before they start the donation*
Deferral...?
Free time that would be given to a couple who are truly in love.
Both of you, go to Emiko-sensei's place.
Take back the time you have lost!
Both of you, should win that deferral!
(Tomo farts)
Sorry, but..
I never expected such things.
Miwa, it must have been hard for you to look for this.
No.
Thank you, Miwa.
It's nothing.
Miwa, do you believe the rumor about " the deferral"?
*there is a rumor that if a couple are truly in love and both of them can prove their loves, they will get a deferral for 3 years before they start the donation*
How about you?
It will be nice if that's true.
But there is no proof for it, right?
About Tomo..
Even after you left..
He kept drawing all the time.
He didn't get a lot better.
But seeing him drawing, made me feel so mad.
But, he never gave up.
He said, "If Kyoko comes back, I will win a deferral. It will be a compensation for hurting Kyoko's feeling."
Somehow, seeing him like that..
I thought that if it really exists, I would granted him that "deferral".
Tomo told me once..
"Whether it comes true or not, a dream is not something you can throw away."
Yes.
Is there nothing else?
Things you want to do.
Stay.
Eh? Here?
No.
Until that donation day..
Kyoko, please stay in my room.
You only want such thing?
Yes.
Oh, you have a child?
Yes.
Hoo, is she doing well?
Yes.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Let me help you.
Then, take those in that drawer.
Okay.
Ah..
Tomo likes that kind underwear.
What a lie..
Who knows, right?
(sneeze)
"So, her next donation has been decided?"
"And, there is a high chance that she will be 'completed' after that?"
*The word "that" refers to the "completion", a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations*
Let's sleep together!
No, you should sleep properly.
Good night.
I said no, this bed is too small for us.
Isn't it fine? We used to sleep together, right?
It was back then when we were kids.
After we're done with this, I'll continue with the cleaning.
Nope.
Just now, you intentionally made that mistake, right?
No, I didn't such thing.
Well then, this one..
..and this one! - Argh~
So cute!
Leave me alone.
Don't spill that! - Ok, sorry..
And, then? So today, you come here from her place?
Yes.
Hmm.
Is it fun?
It's fun, but..
It's lonely.
I wonder why it feels fun now.
Anyway, where is the art that you wanted to make before?
I threw it away, because it's a fail.
I see.
Kyoko, is there such thing you have kept? Something that you made in the past.
Not all of them, but..
In my treasure box, I think I kept drawings that were made by Hana and Tama-chan.
I want to see that.
Let me see your treasure box, Kyoko.
But..
Tomorrow.. It'll be at 10, right?
We still have time.
Let's bring it.
March 4th (Friday)
(humming a song)
This song..
Yes, this is the song from that CD.
You dare to sing it, huh?
I already apologized!
??
? ?Baby, Baby? ?
(humming lyrics she doesn't know)
That's suck.
? ?Baby, Baby? ?
(humming)
You really kept everything.
It's my habit.
This is Hana's note.
This is Tama-chan's drawing.
Miwa.. - Hm?
Remember this?
What is it?
A toy?
This is a toy that was given by Manami.
And, this one..
..was given from you, Miwa.
So, you didn't throw away my things?
Well, probably because I never opened it before.
Of course..
If you opened all of these, you would never keep it, right?
Squirrel?
Do you remember about it?
Miwa was the squirrel, Hana was the monkey, and Tama-chan was the fur seal.
You were cute when you did that back then!
Both of us were!
Ah~
This morning, I was surprised when I opened this box.
Most of them were Miwa's things.
I realized that we spent the longest time together.
Did you know?
I always wanted to be you, Kyoko.
Eh?
Being cute, good at drawings, and smart.
You weren't good at sport, though.
But I felt envy seeing everyone relied on you.
I always wanted to be someone like you, Kyoko.
But, I couldn't.
So I thought, I would make you mine.
Because it would be the same, right?
When you're beside me..
And, if I do this..
I become relieved.
By doing this, I feel stronger.
I don't need any treasure box.
Because..
What I treasure the most..
..can't be put inside a box.
Well then, please lie here.
Time for your turn, let's go!
Come on, this way. - Please wait for a sec.
Only for a sec, please wait.
Miwa..
No!
It will be okay.
No!
No, I don't want it.
No! No!
Move aside, please. We're going.
No, I don't want! - Let's go!
Kyoko! Kyoko! Kyoko!
Don't let me go!
Never let me go!
Kyoko! Kyoko!
Kyoko! No! Kyoko!
Kyoko!
Kyoko! Kyoko!
Kyoko!
Please call Kyoko!
We are angels.
We're created to give future, hope, and new life to people in need.
Miwa, you are going to do such wonderful things!
As Yoko's alumni, we should take pride in completing it.
You are an angel!
I will always be with you.
I will stay beside you.
I will see you undergo that mission.
"You are angels."
Electric scalpel.
This side too.
Emiko-sensei was true.
We are going to harvest the liver.
We are angels who have a noble mission.
There would be no other word that could convince us to live in such a short time that will be snatched away soon.
The pancreas will be harvested soon.
This can also be harvested.
Have you done the cleaning?
Ah, yes.
Here.
These are things that had been thrown away by Sakai-san.
But she sorted it wrongly, so please sort it again.
Miwa..
"Let me carry that." - "No, it's fine."
"This is mine, afterall."
The Future that We Have Taken Back
Is this...?
"I threw it away, because it's a fail."
Miwa was a pretentious liar.
She was selfish..
..and hard to handle.
However..
Through art, she could reveal her true soul.
Her true nature that was hidden all this time.
Tomo-san..
There is a notification saying that Hoshina Kyoko-san just approved your Carer request.
I see.
Tomo-san?
I couldn't draw at all.
Whan I was a kid, I really hated it if someone was asking me to draw.
But, now..
I'm really glad that I have been able to draw.
Because of that, even though we can't meet anymore..
By drawing, I could feel like meeting anyone I want.
"Go there."
"Both of you, should win that deferral!"
Deferral..
"Kyoko, please be happy."
"Kyoko is still a carer, you know.."
"Take back the time you have lost!"
Kyoko..
Everyone brought me here.
It's okay, now.
We will take it back.
All of it.
We will prove to the world that we will take all those times back.
We will win the deferral!
