I want to live with Megu.
What did your mother say, Megumi-san?
Even if she doesn't agree to this now I will try to convince her.
How long are you planning to live together?
We will stay together forever.
I understand.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mom.
Megumi-san. Thank you for supporting Takuto.
Thank you for supporting us.
I'm going.
You will never come back to this house.
If you are prepared for that... then go.
I'm sorry.
Did you sleep well?
Yes. How about you?
I slept well.
Good.
My goal... is to enter medical school.
Do you wear this?
I didn't know I still had it.
You didn't know? Then you won't wear it.
What? I will wear it.
How about this? I don't think you'll wear this.
- I think you wore this enough. - I will wear it.
What?
- I'll still wear it. - There won't be enough space for my clothes.
- You brought too many clothes. - What?
I'm leaving.
Have a good day.
Today's lunch is tofu burger. Here you go.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Is it? I'm glad.
1 - 3x...
Rikuto, can I ask you a question?
This problem...
It's the derivative of a trigonometric function. You can't even figure this out?
Boo.
Ah, I'm sorry.
Can you teach me?
Sure.
y = 1 - 3x...
It's getting scary.
I'm safe.
Which one should I choose?
I can't do this anymore.
This is amazing.
Let's do it again.
- You are enjoying this more than me. - What?
This is one of your rehab activities.
I laughed so much with Megu.
I used to go there a lot when I was in elementary school.
I used to love the chocolate covered puffed grains.
My favorite was the fried squid crackers.
I remember that.
Once I noticed that it was past the expiration date
but the owner of the candy store was a sweet woman who was over 80.
I just couldn't tell her that.
But I didn't want to get a stomach ache from eating it.
But if I threw it away, I would waste 10 yen. I couldn't decide what to do.
It sounds very you.
- I was very serious at that time. - And what did you do?
I told my mom and she said 'I will eat it for you...'
and just started munching.
Which scent do you like?
This is nice.
How about... this one?
- I like this. - This?
- It's finished. - Finally.
- What do you think? - Nice.
There are five layers.
You are amazing, Megu.
- Here. - Thank you.
Beautiful.
Aren't they beautiful?
They are beautiful.
I blew bubbles with Megu.
Are we going fast?
Very fast.
I'm scared.
I ran... with Megu.
I'm scared, Megu.
I felt the wind.

[The Hours Of My Life]
[Congrats on your wedding. Takuto, Megumi]
It's so cute. Thank you.
We made it together.
Yes.
Thank you.
Are you getting ready?
I started going to a bridal spa.
I told her she didn't need to be prettier than she is now.
But you are happy when I'm pretty, right?
Well, yes.
Are you bragging about her?
Yes.
- What about your honeymoon? - Yufuin Town.
Hot spring?
Yeah.
- Hot spring sounds nice. - Yes.
- You two went, right? - Yeah, to Kusatsu.
Hello.
Welcome.
We are taking off. We need to make so many preparations.
Yeah.
Thank you for coming.
Sumire-chan wants to study.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Are you teaching her? - No.
We've been studying together, right?
Yeah.
I'll be taking an entrance exam for medical school.
An entrance exam?
An entrance exam for a university.
Medical school?
Yeah.
I don't know how long it will take to get accepted, but I will try.
Was it too much for you?
No. Good luck.
Thanks.
Bye.
See you at the wedding.
- Yes. - Okay.
What's wrong?
If I had a specific goal I would be more motivated.
I'm sure you will find one.
I will?
Yeah.
The washing machine keeps showing an error. Do you have the instruction booklet?
I think it's somewhere over there.
I'm here to study.
Sure.
Big brother, I'm thinking of getting a part-time job.
A part-time job? It's your first time, isn't it?
Since I've been relying on our parents' money.
I thought of getting a job organizing products at a home center.
I would be too scared to get a job where I'd have to deal with people.
- I think it's a good idea. - You think so?
But even if your job is to organize products, you will still be working with someone.
You can't avoid dealing with people.
I'm getting scared now.
What if I say mean things and people think I'm not nice?
I remember the time I was also scared if people at the company found out about my disease.
I was really nervous when I handed out the papers about myself.
I found it.
This one, right?
[Handling Instruction Booklet] Yeah.
Many women wouldn't leave you alone, Shige-senpai.
I think you should get married after enjoying your life first.
- If I could I would totally do that. - Hey.
Yes.
Did you come to make me feel better?
Well, more like...
I feel like I was instrumental for Takuto and Megu-chan to get back together.
Even if you didn't do anything, the outcome would have been the same.
Um, Shige-senpai.
Why did you go out with Megu-chan?
I became interested in her because she was Takuto's girlfriend.
Huh?
I never wanted to lose to him.
There are many people like that.
People who want to feel secure by beating someone...
Because they have low self-esteem.
When I found out that he was sick...
Do you know what I thought?
I thought, 'Now I can win against him all the time.'
It's awful, isn't it?
It was decided from the beginning.
That they would stay together.
But something unexpected happened to me.
I really... fell in love with her.
So expensive.
Leeks are cheaper at the vegetable store. We'll get them there.
Ma'am, would you like to try one? It's very delicious.
Just try one.
Does your husband want one too?
Um, no, thank you.
Ma'am, would you like to try one? It's a great deal.
Do we look like a newlywed couple?
Maybe we do.
You look handsome.
- Really? - Yeah.
Calm down.
But you know, today is the first day at my part-time job.
Rikuto.
You will definitely be all right.
I'm going.
- Good bye. - Good bye.
You scared me.
My name is Sawada Rikuto. I will be working here starting today.
Um... I am not good at interacting with people.
For example, I don't mean it but I may say things to make people mad.
When that happens, I would appreciate if you could tell me that.
There are many other problems too.
I wrote them down. I hope you don't mind reading it.
[Handling Instructions of Sawada Rikuto] Please.
Do you promise to love her for all of your life...
in health and in sickness, in happiness and in sadness?
Yes, I do.
Do you promise to love him for all of your life...
in health and in sickness, in happiness and in sadness?
Yes, I do.
Now you may exchange the rings.
She is your precious daughter. I'm very sorry.
Oh, don't be... Please lift your heads up.
How is Takuto-kun's condition?
The day he will depend on respiratory support will come eventually.
Are you talking about a ventilator?
Yes.
He won't be able to talk if he uses a ventilator.
But if he can move at least one of the muscles on his body...
he will be able to tell us his feelings through a computer with sensor functions.
His life won't end when he is on a ventilator.
Takuto's life will continue.
I'm sorry for dragging Megumi-san into Takuto's life.
I'm sorry.
It can't be helped. She is my daughter after all.
May I say one thing?
Yes.
Megumi was not dragged into Takuto-kun's life.
I'm sure she's prepared to live with Takuto-kun in her own way.
I know she is not a perfect daughter.
But please take care of her.
No, we appreciate your support.
Welcome home.
- We are home. - We are home.
How was work?
I gave them the handling instructions of myself and they said I was funny.
No one has called me funny before.
Can you believe it? I'm funny. They said I'm funny.
I see.
Rikuto started working part-time.
[Mamoru]
What is it?
Look.
Celebrate my graduation from virginity.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
A letter for you.
[To Sawada Takuto-sama]
[From Hongo Shoko]
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I'll make dinner right away.
Megu.
Hmm?
This is from your mother.
What?
Please read it.
Dear Takuto-kun.
It's been three weeks since Megumi moved out.
Do you find anything that Megumi is not doing right?
If you do, please don't hesitate to tell her.
She is reliable but she can be goofy sometimes.
She is kind but she can be strong-minded.
Please take care of Megumi.
Megumi smiles more often since she met you, Takuto-kun.
Megumi has become stronger since she reunited with you.
I believe in you, Takuto-kun.
You are the one Megumi chose.
I pray that you two will have happiness always.
From Megumi's mother, Shoko.
I received a letter from Megu's mother.
Megu is next to me.
I wish this happiness will continue.
Takuto. Takuto.
Takuto.
Certainly it is possible that you had a case of sleep apnea.
Would it be better if I stopped playing soccer?
I think so.
It's time to discuss with everyone what to do about your breathing support.
Since there is the risk of death from apnea while you are sleeping.
Yes.
Megu.
What is it?
I want to go to Yamanashi.
What?
Okay, let's go.
Yeah.
So this is the elementary school you went to.
It brings back many memories.
Ah, are you being sentimental?
I was thinking that this is the town where I grew up.
I always walked through this shopping street to go to my elementary school.
I see.
Can you turn right at the next corner?
What's there?
What do you think?
- Ah! A candy store? - Yeah.
It hasn't changed at all.
- I used to come here on the way home. - Really?
Ah.
Should we get chocolate covered puffed grains and fried squid crackers?
Yeah.
Did you check the expiration date?
Good.
Excuse me. Can I have these?
- 20 yen, please. - Yes.
Can I have this too?
- Let's eat. - Yeah.
So good.
I haven't had this for a long time.
- How is it? - Tasty.
It's tasty, isn't it? Makes you feel at ease, right?
It brings me back memories.
What do you think?
This is it. This taste.
- Want some? - Sure.
It's spinning.
Ready?
Did you make this too, Takuto?
- I don't remember. - Cute.
Ah, it's a book of writings.
What did I write?
Let's see...
Here it is.
'My dream for the future,' Sawada Takuto.
My dream for the future is to become a doctor.
I'm currently trying.
He's working hard.
If you told me in advance I would have prepared many things.
It's okay.
Please stay the night next time.
Yes.
Mom.
When Dad comes back from the conference, can you come to Tokyo?
I need to talk to you about something.
You can't do it now?
I want Dad and Rikuto to be there too.
I understand.
[Goal]
Next is your turn, Takuto.
What?
Marriage.
That's what 'being with Megu-chan forever' means, right?
I'm sure Megu-chan is waiting for you to propose to her.
But to me, 'being together forever' means...
There are many people with ALS who have been living for twenty or thirty years.
Some get married and have children.
The respiratory paralysis has started.
Living for twenty years is like a dream to me.
Well, there are people who died from...
complications or other sicknesses even with a ventilator.
But if you are on a ventilator you can still live for twenty or thirty years.
Don't tell me that you aren't going to use it?
Why?
Please use it.
What am I going to do if I use it?
- Don't abandon your life. - I'm not abandoning.
You are.
Because it sounds like you think it's easy to use it.
I don't think it's easy.
Then can you take my place instead?
You can say it because it's not happening to you.
It's not that easy.
If you tell me that...
take my place for me!
Please don't die.
Takuto...
I beg you... please don't die.
Hey.
If you use a ventilator you can continue to live.
If you keep living, a new treatment might be found.
I told you before. I won't let you die.
Could it be that you think you are giving us a burden?
You don't think that, do you?
You, being alive, Takuto... is what we hope for the most.
She's right.
I feel confident when I'm with you.
We still have time.
Why don't we take more time to think about this?
Please don't forget that your life is not just yours.
Do you want to take a bath?
Takuto.
I'm scared.
I'm scared... Megu.
I'm with you.
I'll be with you forever.
If I'm on the ventilator, I won't be able to talk.
You will be able to tell me your feelings through an alphabet board or computer.
What if I can't do that anymore?
I won't be able to move my body...
I won't be able to move the muscles on my face...
I won't be able to convey my feelings to anyone...
What is it like to keep living...
in a condition like that?
Not everyone becomes like that instantly.
What if I become like that?
What if I can't endure it anymore?
Even if I become that...
I can't take the ventilator off once it is on.
It's not that I want to die.
I'm scared to live.
You have me.
You will be able to hear me forever.
You will be able to feel my warmth if I hold you forever.
What if I feel pain?
What if I couldn't convey that I have pain in my body?
I will have to keep enduring the pain alone.
You have me.
The pain won't change.
You have me.
I can't prepare myself to live.
Please live for me.
You said you will live in the present.
Yeah.
- Then please... - That's why...
I decided to live in the present with all my might.
Until I won't be able to breathe on my own...
Takuto.
Let's go to sleep for today.
I will come home right away after work.
I'm sorry to tell you this on such short notice.
But is it possible for me to take some days off starting tomorrow?
What?
I'm sorry.
I'm home.
Takuto?
Yes?
Hello. This is Megumi.
You aren't with Takuto right now, are you?
Takuto?
No.
He is gone.
What?
Ah.
What happened?
- Takuto is missing. - What?
Please stay here. If he comes back, please call me.
Sure.
Hello?
Shige-senpai, Takuto is missing.
What?
Takuto.
Where did he go?
Takuto, where are you?

[The Last Episode]
[Time with a loved one] Please live for me.
[The love of a family] I won't let you die.
[A precious friend] I beg you, please don't die.
[Thank you...] Help me.
Even if your body stops moving, each patient's life is different.
How can you call that living?
Dear Takuto. Are you living in the present?
- Are you living in the present? - Yeah.
I wonder how many times I have to prepare myself.
