[Sawada Takuto] [Age 25, Fall]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Oh, thank you. - Sure.
Here you go. It's hot.
- It's hot. - Right?
Mamoru.
Hmm?
I want to buy a notebook.
I understand.
What are you going to write?
I haven't decided yet.
But I just want to write words.
You are able to write now, right?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Ready?
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Welcome home.
- I'm home. - I'm home.
Thank you.
- Thank you for always helping him. - No problem.
[Care Worker Visiting Schedule]
- I will put your feet down, okay? - Okay.
Thank you.
I'll go when the care worker comes.
Okay.
The other day, a girl our age came.
You mean she helped you with your bathing?
Yeah.
Was she cute?
Kind of.
Were you embarrassed?
It was pretty intense.
Did you get a hard on?
- What? - No, no, but it softened.
Good job.
But that's right. That capability doesn't weaken...
and keeps functioning.
It's strange, isn't it?
All right.
After I lose my virginity, let's go to a soapland together.
Why don't you lose your virginity there?
That's not an option. I would never do that.
I have some pride too, you know?
Are you sure you are seeing Hina-chan?
I am sure. We are very much in love.
- Really? - Really, really. Really.
Sato-san is here.
Yes. Come in.
I'm coming in.
- Hello. - Hello.
- See you. - Okay.
Oh, please no female care workers in their 20's giving him a bath.
Mamoru.
I'm sorry.
Only young girls were available the other day.
I'm sorry.
Hey, does Takuto-kun have a girlfriend now?
What is this all of a sudden?
It's been more than a year since he broke up with Megumi, right?
About a year and a half, I think.
Does he have one?
I don't think so.
- Are you hiding something? - No.
Very suspicious.
I'm not hiding anything.
You mean he hasn't had any girlfriends since he broke up with Megumi?
It seems that way.
Hey.
I am your boyfriend, right?
- No, you're not. - What?
But we meet three days a week.
- Do you have any complaints? - Well... what?
I have to find a dress for tomorrow's matchmaking party.
I should go to a matchmaking party too.
Why? You see me three days a week.
- But you go to those things. - It's okay for me to do it.
Ah, so cute.
Hongo-san... how old are you?
I'm 25.
The same.
There was a young man...
who came to the ALS meeting for the first time, and was only 25.
Really? He was?
He's handsome and...
he was welcomed by all the women.
If he is that handsome, I would like to meet him too.
Oh... I will tell that to your boyfriend.
Thank you.
All the people I met with ALS were cheerful and self-indulgent.
Oh really.
But are you okay to go out like that?
Yeah, I can meet many people that way.
How long do you think Riku-chan will keep to his room?
It's been two months since he stopped going to school.
[Surgery] [Immunobiology]
I wonder if he is contacting his friends from school.
It could be that he doesn't have any close friends.
Did Riku-chan say that?
No.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
- Shigeyuki-san isn't here yet? - No.
I'm late. I have more administrative work now.
Because you are a full-time employee.
Right, I am an official employee.
People always have different claims about food. It's such a bother.
Some say meat is good for you. And some say it isn't.
Milk and brown rice too.
Are they good or bad for you?
I think the healthiest diet is to enjoy the food.
You are right.
- Being healthy is the best. - I'm confident with nothing but that.
I've never had a problem at check-ups.
That's excellent.
Who could that be at this hour?
Yes.
Flower delivery for you.
What?
Thank you.
[Dear Mom, Happy Birthday] [From Megumi and Shigeyuki]
Thank you.
Hey. You surprised me.
- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.
Since you didn't say anything in the morning I thought you forgot.
Shigeyuki-san chose the flowers.
Really? So beautiful.
This is the best.
- Hey, the flowers. - Right. I'm sorry.
Ready?
Thank you very much.
Oh, please. Megumi-san cares about you so much.
I wanted to give you something with her.
Such a luxurious birthday... It's okay to have one once in awhile, isn't it?
Let's do it again next year.
Really?
I hope we can do this every year.
Oh, but I haven't asked Megumi-san yet.
Please take care of Megumi.
Yes.
Hmm? What are you talking about?
- What were we talking about? - What?
What is it?
Nothing.
- It's a secret. - I want to know.

[The Hours Of My Life]
Good morning.
Thank you for your help again today.
Oh.
[Detour] I'm sorry but please take another route.
What?
Aren't you going to be late?
It's okay.
If I'm late, I will just tell them that I was helping a man in a wheelchair.
It's a fact but it sounds like a lie.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Please.
Ready?
Huh? Did you eat too much today?
I might have eaten more than usual this morning.
Thank you very much.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
How long is Takuto planning to work?
He's changed his work according to the progression of his symptoms.
But now all he can do is move a computer mouse.
I hope he is not being a nuisance to the company.
Takuto is going out and Rikuto is staying home.
You still haven't figured out why Rikuto is not going to school?
I'm sorry.
You are his mother.
But you should come see their faces once in a while.
It's time now.
Honey.
I've been researching the treatments for ALS.
Including international medical research papers, of course.
There are some without evidence but I ask you to try them at least.
Have you seen Takuto-san?
If it's too hard for you to see him...
you can just support your wife who is taking care of Takuto-san.
- Are you accusing me? - No.
I apologize if you took it that way.
Takuto-san seems to have found a way to cope well with ALS.
He is working on what he can do right now.
He let others know what is going on with him...
and gained their understanding.
- Good luck. - Now he is trying his best to live.
If Shige-senpai is getting along with your mom so well, you'll get married soon.
You are so lucky.
You got a full-time job and you are getting married.
Maybe this is my lucky year?
I wish you a happy married life.
He hasn't proposed to me yet.
People say it's best to marry someone whom you love for the second time.
Hmm? What do you mean?
Because your eternal best lover is Takuto-kun, right?
Wh-what do you mean?
- I'm definitely right. - You are wrong.
You really don't know why you two broke up?
I can tell you this now, but he said it was getting too serious.
Oh, I guess he was a frivolous guy after all.
I heard he hasn't had a girlfriend since he broke up with you.
But I think that means he hasn't had a real girlfriend.
Then it was good that you broke up with him.
The man I love is Shigeyuki-san.
Have you ever wished you didn't meet Takuto-kun?
I think you do meet people that you are destined to meet.
You wish you didn't meet him?
No, I don't.
Put Takuto-kun aside...
Huh? You are the one who is talking about him.
Anyway, I think Shige-senpai is the best person to marry.
I told you already, he hasn't proposed to me.
What?
There is a place I want to take you today.
Where?
You'll find out when you get there.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
You have so much time to kill, Mamoru-san.
- Huh? - Because you come here often.
I don't have time to kill. I come here because I want to.
Do you want to come with us, Rikuto?
This is it.
Let's go.
Powerchair soccer. Did you know of it?
No.
What do you think?
Of course I'll do it.
Right?
You looked so scared.
Okay, go back.
You have to be quicker. Okay, go back.
Let's do it. Look straight ahead.
Next, Sawada-san.
Nice shot.
Yay.
Don't get too carried away, newbie.
Do you play any sports, Rikuto-kun?
No.
Me neither. Should I start playing something?
Why do you hang out with my brother?
That's a totally different subject.
Is it because you feel bad for him since he is sick?
I've been friends with him since before he got sick.
Even now, I enjoy being with Takuto.
Why does my brother look happy?
All right.
I think it's because he likes playing soccer.
Thank you.
Thank you for the support.
I'll put the wheelchair in the back.
Welcome back.
I thought you weren't here.
You went out too, Riku-chan?
Yeah.
Where did you go?
I went to play soccer with people on electric wheelchairs.
- Soccer? - Yeah.
I decided to be on the team. I borrowed a special wheelchair for it.
- Riku-chan. - What is it?
It's nice weather today. Did you feel good?
It was a waste of time.
Riku-chan, I want to talk to you properly.
It's been two months since you stopped going to school.
I'm sure you know, but you can't stay like this.
I want to figure out what to do with you.
Leave me alone.
- But at this rate... - I have nothing to say to you.
I'm worried about you, Riku-chan.
Let go of me.
What in the world is going on?
Did something bad happen at school?
You don't get along with your friends?
There is no need for you to hang out with friends you don't like.
You shouldn't worry about things like that and ruin your life.
Please at least attend lectures.
It's your damn fault.
Damn?
I said it's your damn fault.
What in the world did I do?
I worked so hard for you, Riku-chan.
I did everything that you told me to.
And who I am now is the result.
I became like this because of you, Mom.
I have no future.
Riku-chan.
Get out... Get out.
Riku-chan.
He has never been rebellious.
Why did this happen?
Would you like to eat?
Yes, only one email left to send...
Yes.
to the handsome boy that I told you about.
I see.
Huh?
What happened?
- Can you help me? - Yes.
Something is wrong with the sensor.
[Sawada Takuto]
How about now?
Ah, it worked.
- Thank you. - Sure.
[Would you like to send this email to Sawada Takuto-san? Yes or No?]
[1 unread email massage]
[This is Imai Tamotsu]
Yes.
Takuto, are you sure you will be okay if I go back home?
Yeah.
I think it's better that way for a while.
- I told the care worker about this. - Okay.
- Contact me if something happens. - I understand.
Take care of yourself.
Riku-chan.
I'll go home for now.
Excuse me.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
Wow.
Ah, do you wear rings, Megumi-chan?
I don't.
I have to take them off during work.
I see. But what kind do you like?
Rikuto. I'm sorry, but can you help me for a little bit?
Thank you, but I can do this by myself.
G-good night.
Rikuto?
Help me.
I am the one who understands Riku-chan the most, right?
I don't know what to do.
How can you be like that, big brother?
Although you have no future.
'No future?'
You shouldn't normally say that to me.
But it's a fact.
When you say things like that to me, I get upset and hurt.
You have to think about how the person will feel before you say something.
You are the one who will suffer from not getting along with people.
Do you understand?
There were times I felt bad when I saw the other person seemingly annoyed.
But there were times I had no idea why.
Since when?
Since I was small.
I made my friends mad...
but Mom always solved the problems for me.
My junior high and high schools were prep schools for college...
so people didn't care about others.
I spent most of the time alone.
The first two years of medical school were all right.
But in junior year, there were smaller specialized classes and practices.
Since I started spending more time with other students...
I felt very uncomfortable being there.
It was getting agonizing.
But I didn't know what to do.
And the medical lectures...
I don't find them interesting.
What?
I've tried not to sadden Mom for a long time.
I've tried not to hate her for a long time.
I did... my best, but...
Yeah.
What am I supposed to do?
For now, why don't we go to a dinosaur museum?
What?
[Dinosaur World Expo]
The skeleton of the entire body of Tarbosaurus was the best.
Especially its pubic bone.
Pubic bone?
Pubic bone. Two words, pubic and bone.
It's located under the pelvis and sticks out forward like the shape of a boot.
The muscles that attach to it pull the femur.
So the bigger the pubic bone, the stronger it is to pull its legs forward.
In other words, you can tell how strong the muscles of the lower body are...
by looking at the size of the pubic bone.
Well, the pubic bone is just amazing.
Ready?
Do you want to do more?
My goal is to participate in a game.
What are you going to do when you can't use your right hand?
Ah, I shouldn't have said that, huh?
Well, no.
It's okay if it's me.
I'm sorry.
When I can't move my right hand anymore, I will find my next goal.
Next?
That is what I've been doing with my job.
When I couldn't do the sales job anymore, I learned how to arrange deliveries.
When I couldn't walk anymore, I learned how to work in the office.
[Clearance Sale] [Thank you for visiting us.]
When I couldn't use my fingers well anymore...
I learned the work that I could do while using a mouse.
Thank you very much.
I'm fortunate that I work at a company that creates a place for me.
It's kind of like...
my goal is to find my goal.
Nice.
Can we do a little more?
Ready?
This place.
What about this place?
I wanted to look at it.
Go inside.
What do you think about this apartment?
Although I already signed the lease.
Are you moving?
If we live here, I thought your mother wouldn't feel lonely.
12 minutes by bike.
What?
Let's get married.
Yes.
Try it on.
- Fits perfectly. - Good.
I feel reassured.
It's been a long time.
- Thank you for coming. - No problem.
I wanted to talk to you.
Yes.
I'm going to a soccer game after this.
- Are you going to watch a game? - No, to play soccer.
What?
There is a thing called Powerchair soccer.
Really?
Have you been doing good, Shige-senpai?
Yes.
Glad to hear that.
I'm getting married.
To Megumi-chan.
Congratulations.
Would you like to go for a walk?
There is a place I want to go.
Where is it?
[Musashino Life Sports Center]
It's amazing.
Ah, there he is.
I'm sorry.
The person with ALS that you met is...
The man with number 8.
Sawada-kun.
Thank you very much. Thank you very much, miss.
Let's take a break.
Sawada-kun.
Ah...
Thank you for the email. I came to see you.
Um... thank you very much.
Did something happen?
I'm just surprised. She's my college classmate.
What? Is that true?
You must be surprised. I have ALS too.
I found out after we broke up.
But I'm doing great. I can even play soccer.
Oh, I heard you are getting married.
Congrats.
Please don't look like that. Say something, will you?
Practice is starting. Let's go.
It's understandable.
The practice is starting.
We meet...
What?
Sawada-kun, see you soon.
Yes.
Bye.
Hey...
Could it be that you and Sawada-san were...
What?
Nothing.
[Megumi]
We meet...
I think you do meet people that you are destined to meet.
[Megu]
[I want you to be happy.]

- Have you decided the wedding date? - No.
Where are you now?
I'm doing what I can do now and what I want to do.
Who is next to you?
Takuto?
The name Opisthocoelicaudia is from 'opisthe' and 'koilos'...
Your father and I are thinking of coming.
- Are you in love? - It's impossible.
I've been borrowing this for a long time. I'm sorry.
Would you like coffee?
Okay, let's use this.
Yes.
- You are strong, big brother. - I'm not strong.
I can't help it. No one wants to take the place of my life.
