So heavy!
Ah!
Ah no, geez!
Ah!
That's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
You really... don't have to.
I use this as well. It's nice, isn't it?
Eh? Really? This is nice, even though it's cheap.
Ah! Ah, geez!
Aiko-chan, what are you doing?
Ah, I like this, too.
Ah? Eh?
Huh?
Sorry about this.
Not at all.
Thank you very much.
What's the matter, Suzuko-san?
Yeah...
Just a bit ago, someone came to visit Mineko.
The actress Kawamoto Setsuko-san?
Yes, yes...
I told her which apartment Mineko was in...
...but there was something strange about her somehow.
To me, too... Ah but, she just left.
Ah, really?
I thought she had a slightly sad look in her eyes.
Right... That's it, isn't it?
Ah... what's going on?
You're going out?
Yes.
To Kawamoto Setsuko-san's house.
To her house?
Yes. She said there's someone she wants me to meet.
Really?
Who?
Well, I don't know. She said she'd wait for me in her car on the street.
Ah, really? Then you should get going.
Yes! Excuse me.
Mineko-san, will you be okay?
Well, since I don't know what's going on, I am a little scared.
But Setsuko-san is a nice person.
That's true, isn't it?
Be careful.
Do be careful.
Yes! I'm off.
Since that girl has tasted more than enough unpleasant things.
Yes. That's true, isn't it?
It started with her Father, didn't it?
Yes.
Geez...
I hope she suffers no more painful things.
So this worries me.
As her Tokyo Mother.
Yes, I'm worried, too.
As her Tokyo older sister.
What is it?
Suzuko-san, you've met...
...Mineko-san's Father, haven't you?
Yeah.
What sort of man is he like?
He's honest...
...a hard worker...
...and he thinks of his family.
And he's incredibly proper.
Is that right.
Here we are.
Yes.
Come in.
Excuse my disturbing you.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Ameo-san.
Huh?
I brought along a guest today.
Eh? This is unusual of you.
No... this is the first time.
Yeah.
Come in.
Daddy...?
Daddy!
Ameo-san.
(lit. "rain man")
Eh?
This... is your daughter.
Eh?
This is Yatabe Mineko-san.
Yes...
And your name is...
...Yatabe Minoru-san!
Your Father... doesn't remember anything.
About his past.
Not his own name, nor where he was born and raised...
And nothing about his family, either.
That's got to be a lie!
You're lying!
Because! Because this is my Dad!
There's just no way he would forget all those things!
Hey... it's me, Mineko, Dad!
What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?!
Hey, it's me, Mineko, right?
Dad?
You came to hate us, right?
Or else you came to hate all of it?
You suffered a terrible experience and so you hated all of it, right?
That's why you disappeared, isn't it? It is, isn't it?
I can understand that. I can understand.
If you want to be here, that's fine.
If you want to stay here and not come back, then I...
...won't meet you anymore.
I'll go back home...
...and forget about you from today.
That will be fine.
I'll just be happy that you're alive.
Since I have no intention of ever blaming you for that, Dad.
Not in the least...
So...
...just don't say that you don't remember me...
It's me, Mineko... Daddy...
I'm sorry.
Mineko-san... please listen to me.
Look...
I hate this!
I don't want this!
I hate it!
