Good morning. I am Masuda Akemi.
Let's have Aiko-san say it in her own fashion.
Well then, last week...
...Sanae-san finished by saying she would talk about herself, didn't she?
Last Week's Sanae-san
My... love story.
Well, it wasn't my intention to tell anyone about...
...the person I was with...
...but I do want to talk about him somehow.
Please hear me out.
Well then, let's continue.
I came to Tokyo when I was 18, from Ichinoseki.
I have two older brothers and one younger one...
Well, it was an environment where I didn't have to think about the house much...
Then, when I got out of high school, I went to work. Ah, in the local area.
And, following the normal course of events, I would then go on to get married.
Even I vaguely thought, "Ah, that's how my life will go."
But I longed to live in Tokyo. No matter what.
Then, on my first day in Tokyo, my very first day.
I had come by night and that morning I made my greetings to the landlady at Akane Villa.
Ah, because I had brought rice cakes with me, Tomi-san was incredibly pleased.
"Ah my, Cutie-chan from the countryside."
Cutie-chan from the countryside.
...she said.
Cutie-chan...
Yeah.
Then, as I started work the next day, I thought, "Well, I want to go somewhere."
A place that would just shout, "This is Tokyo!"
So I went to a Ginza department store...
...but as I hadn't started working yet, and had no money...
...I thought, "Ah, I know. I'll go up to their rooftop."
So for the first time in my life, I rode an elevator.
The first time...
...since you were born?
An elevator?
Did something happen?
I got trapped inside the elevator.
It stopped all of a sudden and for 5 hours, too.
Eh?!
There were two of us on board.
Me and this man, all alone.
Eh?!
You were okay, right?
Yes.
But at the time, I was just afraid and scared and I cried and cried.
Ahh...!
And? What sort of man was he?
There is that, isn't there?
To me who was crying he said...
..."It'll be okay," and he held my hand.
He was a kind man and taller than I am...
...about 25 years old... and SO handsome.
Ehh!
He was a musician...
...and he told me that he played the drums.
"I'm a drummer"?
That's right. A drummer.
He played drums at a club in Akasaka.
And that he would be taking a flight that night to New York...
...where he was going in order to study, he said.
Well anyhow, he was just SO handsome.
During that time, the two of us talked about all sorts of things.
He made me laugh...
...while he roared with laughter listening to my boring life story.
And... I fell in love with him.
Well, it was my first love.
Ohh!
Then the five hours passed and it felt like the elevator would start working again.
And then I thought...
"Ah, he's going to America and I won't ever see him again."
And I cried again.
And then he held me tightly.
And then my heart beat so wildly that I didn't want to leave him...
Whaa!
And I thought I'd tell him that.
But then he said...
"I give up. I've fallen in love with you."
Kyaa!
I felt I didn't want to lose him.
"I... love you, too... And I don't want to leave you," I told him.
And then he said this to me.
"This is fate, isn't it?"
"Once I'm a pro drummer, I'll be sure to come back; wait for me."
"I... will wait for you."
"And then... let's get married."
"Yes."
"How long will you wait for me?"
"Until I'm 25."
Even now I regret that.
Why didn't I tell him, "forever"?
Ah...
At the time, 25 seemed to be the far-off, distant future to me.
I really was a fool.
But he said...
"All right. I've got my work cut out for me."
And then the two of us were rescued.
That was an incredible love, wasn't it?
Eh? And then?
Huh? That's as far as it goes.
Haven't seen him since.
I've gone past 25 by more than five years now.
So that's why Sanae-san is... the eternal 25.
I guess.
What's more, he knew...
...my name, age, workplace and apartment house.
Therefore, I couldn't move away from either.
And, that's how it stands.
And? What will you do, Sanae-chan?
Hmm...
I don't know.
As you'd expect, I do feel there has to be a limit to this, but...
I don't know.
You're wonderful.
And adorable.
Right?
Yeah!
Thank you.
That was refreshing.
Here.
Oh! Thank you.
I was thirsty...
Ohh!
That was just barley tea though.
Huh?
Eh? Really? Huh? It tasted like liquor... Huh?
I told someone about you...
Can't do this...
I don't want to have worked so hard at it only to be rejected...
Sanae-san was cute, wasn't she?
Yes.
Let's have a bit of a review, shall we?
At Sanae-san's suggestion...
...Setsuko-san has gone to live with Mineko in her room.
Last Week's Sanae-san
I want them to overcome this.
Both Mineko and Setsuko-san.
Have a proper heart-to-heart talk about the painful things...
When you're first able to do that, then as Mineko said about...
...how sad things become people's strength and won't negate that strength...
...then I wonder if you couldn't turn those minuses into pluses.
I didn't know what the best thing to do was...
But what Sanae-san said is the truth.
I was a bit relieved when Aiko-san took you in.
You would be. So was I.
There's something strange about us, isn't there?
That's true, isn't it?
But, if we can overcome this...
...I feel that would be wonderful and incredible.
Yeah.
Yeah...
Let's get along together.
This is kinda embarrassing.
Ah, but...
Huh?
Hmm...
Let's just say anything. Okay?
Really? Yeah...
Ah, but...
About me and your father, Mineko-chan.
Yes.
To me he wasn't Yatabe Minoru-san, but Ameo-san.
Yes.
In regards to the time that we spent together...
To you I have no intention...
No, not to anyone.
I have no intention of telling you anything, ever.
It is a memory only for me.
That's the one thing I have no intention of changing, ever.
That is my true intention.
Can you understand?
