thank you
(Okiyo) young mistress I'll take that for you
thank you

I'm afraid anything can happen now
you'd better prepare the worst

Sakurako san...
mother
well Sakurako san
could play the piece you and Tatsuhiko
played together at the engagement party?
is it Liszt?
that reminds me...
you were in your white dress next to Tatsuhiko
we had our photo taken
I was happy
you and Tatsuhiko live here
2 or 3 grandchildren are born
they are running around the miso warehouse
I imagined the day
like that would come
play it
leave the doors open
yes

(flashback) Tatsuhiko!
this isn't the last, is it?

Sakurako san...
I'm going to die soon
no... it's not true
please don't say that
what do you plan to do after my death?
please stop it I don't want to think about that
if you don't think about it now when will you?
tell me what you want to do
I...
I want to remain in the shop
I'd like to succeed the business from you, mistress
and take care of the business as I wait for Tatsuhiko san
do you really think so?
yes
you are not saying that for me, are you?
no
♬～
after my death
Sakurako will be in charge of business
Sakurako please look after the business
as a mistress from now on
yes
Nogiyama, Senkichi san please support her
yes, ma'am
(Tane) wait a minute, nesan (older sister) don't I have any right at all?
don't worry I've thought about you too
all my personal asset except the ones belong
to the shop will be yours
instead you never get involved with the management of business
sign it here
♬～
excuse me
♬～
keep this with that for me
♬～
(Senkichi) certainly
♬～
are you awake?
would you like some water?
Sakurako san
I met Tatsuhiko
aye?
when you were playing the piano
in that room
Tatsuhiko was standing at this room's door
and smiled at me
he called for me
please stop it
you must get better, mother
when Tatsuhiko san is back
you said you'd eat "Kanoko Yose" together
no, Sakurako san
Tatsuhiko is dead
I'm his mother, so I know it
I haven't given up on Tatsuhiko san yet
Tatsuhiko isn't hoping
you live your life from now on feeling the shadow of him
Tatsuhiko loves you who is free and cheerful
he loved you who is always cheerful
and trying your best with all your might
if Tatsuhiko was here, he would say the same
that's why I'm saying it instead
please forget about Tatsuhiko and be free
well... I talked too much I'm tired
I will get some sleep
Sakurako san
yes
thanks
mother

you...
please go to Tatsuhiko's room and play the piano
as a lullaby no
I want to close to you, mother
don't talk like a child
in that case, you can stay here
sing your favorite song for me

♬ "there’s no place like home"
♬ "pleasures and palaces"
♬ "we may roam"
(Masa) it was a quiet spring night
since she parted from a natural mother when she was little
Sakurako parted forever with a person she called "mother"
