Have you had nights when you can't fall asleep?
Didn't anyone's face appear in your mind?
Unforgettable memories and uncontrollable emotion.
Open the twelve doors named "bitter sweet feelings."
Before I shut my heart...
Sentimental Journey
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
When we were both little...
...we could understand each other without a word.
That was the time when...
...we could believe in angels.
When you told me that you would break up with me...
...I couldn't look at you.
Please, come and see me.
I want to see your smile.
Please, don't forget your kindness.
Before I shut my heart...
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
A Story of 12 Girls in 12 Cities
Episode 4: Manami Sugihara Febricula Girl
Just standing by the window makes me cry, for no reason.
It's because the spring sunshine is too tender.
Little birds are flying in the sky so merrily.
But I can't fly and have to stay here alone.
How many more days can I see this tranquil sight?
I didn't want to listen to it...
If I didn't listen, I'd be smiling today.
It's 37 degrees.
37 degrees.
It's slightly lower today.
How long will I have this febricula?
It's supposed to be just a checkup.
Don't worry.
Your normal temperature is slightly higher than others.
After the tests, you can go home.
Really?
Spring is a romantic season.
A girl who is in love always has a slight fever.
No, I'm not in love...
Are you sure?
Here you go.
Can you do this for me?
This stuff is far from romantic.
Didn't you finish all the exams on the daughter of Sugihara?
Yes, I did.
I can go home.
I feel sorry for Sugihara, but there's nothing we can do with this.
We've done the same tests up to three times.
But the results are the same.
This is not good.
Let me explain it to her parents.
Thank you.
Is her name, Manami?
Yes.
She's young and she must want to play a lot.
I feel sorry for her.
But this is beyond our control.
I understood when I heard that.
Dad, mom, old doctors, nurses, and everyone else are smiling at me...
...because I'm going to die like cherry blossoms fall.
I don't want to disappoint them.
I must leave them while I'm smiling.
Are you okay, little bird?
You can't fly well yet?
You must be a baby.
Okay. I got it.
You look like the bird...
You look like the bird I saw a while ago.
Do you think this bird will get well?
Yeah, he will.
Do you think I can get well like the bird?
Of course, you will. You'll get well.
Sorry. I was also supposed to be free like you.
After all, I was given strength from everybody.
Not only my smile, but I want to leave them something else.
Proof that I live in this world.
What's this?
Oh no...
Isn't this your poetry book?
Oh no. It's embarrassing.
Well...
What do you think?
This is very good.
Really?
It's good for you to write down these poems.
Do you think so?
Because you can give dreams to everybody.
Hey.
It's way past lights-out time.
S-sorry.
What are you doing?
I was writing poems.
Poems?
I write down my dreams in poetry.
When I've collected 100 of them, I will make a poetry book.
How many do you have now?
I've collected them since junior high school. I have 95 of them.
It's so close.
Let me read it, when you're done.
But you shouldn't stay up too late. Okay?
Five to go.
I have to work hard because I don't have much time.
Rendezvous
My humble dream right now.
Rendezvous on a Saturday afternoon.
To turn my back on you for making me wait.
When I say, "I don't care about you"...
...you stumble to make an apology.
And produce a flower bouquet like magic.
Then, I'll smile and say...
"I'm not angry. Thank you."
"That's why I love you."
You look good.
It's been a while.
What's this?
A small gift for you.
You have a nice complexion.
While you're not around...
We can't make fun of you so we can't even have a funny conversation.
That's not nice.
It's luxurious that you've got a private room.
No one can make fun of you.
It has a few patterns of tones...
Hmm?
Let me try once more.
"I'm in a bad mood today."
I found this at Kotoden Sogo.
Isn't this silly?
"Today I caught a cold."
Why did they come to me?
I told them I was just staying for a check-up.
They came to see me because they knew I won't live long.
Oh, how beautiful it is!
I shouldn't think about them.
I have no time to waste.
I have to write more!
My first stretch
The beach in summer.
Everyone is having fun on the train.
Of course, you're one of our group.
White sands and waves.
Running off to the shore under the sun.
Then, we happen to find ourselves alone.
Alone, you and me in the light of the sunset.
Our hands touch by chance.
When we stare at each other...
Let me stretch myself to reach you.
Huh. I think I have a fever.
Let me go to bed.
Are you awake, Manami?
Today is a check-up day, so take your temperature and wait for your doctor.
What?
Good morning, Ms. Sugihara.
A young Doctor!
I'm not a ghost or something. Please don't be surprised.
But, but...
The older doctor went to a meeting in Okayama, so today he...
Maybe you prefer my father?
No I don't mean that.
Hmm, you still have febricula. Can you take off your clothes?
What?
Take off your clothes.
Well...
Take off your clothes.
I don't need this any more.
Hmm?
Even if you examine me, I can't...
Stop your nonsense!
Now take off your clothes quickly. You won't lose anything!
Yes.
I have to write it down.
Feelings of a balloon.
If I were married to a guy against my will...
...even if I were at the end of the world...
...would you come and take me back?
I don't see what is on your mind.
It makes me a little worried.
If the wind blows me up in the air...
I may go wherever the wind takes me.
Please catch my heart.
Please catch my body.
Bird-watching
I haven't seen you for so long.
What are you doing now?
Where are you?
What friends are you hanging out with?
I'm...
I'm doing fine.
That's what I want to say.
But I miss you so much.
Please come to me.
I can't fly by myself.
I'll never cry again.
Never ending dream
It's like a movie I've seen before.
You came to me.
I throw the white bouquet in the air and run to you.
You hold me up, then...
Where are you taking me? Our honeymoon...
It's a white house for when we come back.
On the deck with a lot of sunshine, I wave at you when you leave the house.
In the aroma of Darjeeling tea...
Writing poetry is unstoppable.
Dreams and love that I want to tell people about flow out from my heart.
Flow out from...
Oh, no.
I don't want to die.
Tomorrow I'll tell the older doctor...
"Please cure my illness. I'll bear any painful procedures."
I don't mind, if it's going to be in vain.
I'll never give up.
The older doctor will tell us the results today.
He was hesitating to tell us...
But we asked him to tell us the truth.
We believe this is the best for you.
I'm fine.
I'm ready for anything.
Let me get to the point first. I'll tell you the results of the exams.
After extensive exams, we've concluded Manami Sugihara is...
...healthy.
Please doctor!
Tell us the truth!
There's nothing wrong with her at all.
Yes. Nothing wrong with her.
But she's been very weak since she was small.
That's right.
I know how much you're worried about her, but...
You've worried too much!
That has made her nervous and disturbed the exams' results.
Her long lasting febricula is a psychogenic one.
I'm terribly sorry.
You can go home tomorrow.
Bye bye, sanatorium.
During my stay, I figured out my future a little bit.
Thank you.
Thank you, sanatorium.
That's it.
So what do you think?
It sounds like an anime fantasy.
I don't get today's dreamer generation.
Is that so?
Ms. Makihara.
Yes!
Would you give the pills to Ms. Sugihara?
Y-yes!
Dr. Akazaki from the gynecological department. Dr. Akazaki...
Please come to the labor room immediately.
But it's nice.
You have a nice memory of your first love.
Here, this is for five days.
Thank you.
You're lucky.
I couldn't even talk to my first love.
Even now...
I wish I could have a wonderful memory of him.
It would be nice.
What?
Because of him, you're here right now, aren't you?
You're proven to be healthy now.
You should be stronger, study hard and become a great poet.
Yes.
Good luck to you, too.
About the younger doctor.
See ya.
Hey!
Ouch!
Take care of yourself.
Ms. Makihara.
What are you doing?
Well, no, um...
Manami Sugihara. Pisces. Blood type A.
A 17 year-old girl born in Takamatsu City in Kagawa.
I'll get stronger and healthier so I can write down a lot of poems.
Then, you'll read my poems, won't you?
On a holiday with lots of sunshine...
Let's go to the beach like we used to do.
The road which seems like it continue into the sky...
Back then, I wasn't afraid of losing.
The ocean breeze is passing by and whispering to us.
Just keep on smiling Let's sing with a smile...
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes.
Just keep on smiling, be yourself and have a glow to your face.
Like a flower blooming on your face.
It's Osaka! It's Tsutenkaku!
Here comes Kaho!
When you feel down, let's run.
After a good sweat, you'll be refreshed!
Then, when you become hungry, come to my restaurant!
I will cook Okonomi Yaki with all my heart!
Next episode of "Sentimental Journey"...
Episode 5, Kaho Morii.
Friendship, Tsutenkaku Special!
But I also feel lonely sometimes.
