Serial TV Story
Mom... Dad has been found.
Dad is alive in Tokyo.
It's just... while you may not believe it...
...Dad has lost his memories.
I'm sorry.
He doesn't even remember his own name.
Nor me... nor our family.
He doesn't remember them.
Excuse me! Is the Shrimp ready yet?
Huh?!
Yes, coming right up.
If you would please.
Have you already read this letter, Mom...?
When I think about your feelings as you're reading this letter...
...my heart fills with pain.

Ah, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
It must've been really tough for you to have come from Ibaragi, huh?
It's "Ibaraki."
Not "Ibaragi"... but "Ibaraki."

I... am not asking you to look for one "migrant worker."
He has a proper name!
I am asking you to search for Yatabe Minoru...

He has... He has a proper name!

Aiko-san.
You're going?

Look Mineko-san, you're...
Yes?
I've often said you're someone who can sympathize with all sorts of people's feelings.
Putting it badly, you can consider their feelings...

Yes.
Look only at your Mother today.
Yes.
Yeah... Sorry for stopping you. Get going.
Yes, I'm off.
Ever since meeting Mom at the Ueno Station...
