It'd be good if he took your hand again.
Yeah. That's true.
Ah... No, that's not...
Why did you have me meet him, Yoko-san?
I blame you.
Eh?
I've ended up loving him.
Your brother.
Machiko...
I'm sorry.
I was only thinking of myself.

"The next day, Machiko was absent from school."
"When someone missed school..."
"...I would suddenly get very worried."
Excuse us!
Good afternoon!
Yes!
Who is it?
Um... We're Machiko-san's...
Good afternoon!
Machiko...
Machiko-san...
What's the meaning of this?
You see, my mother went on an errand to Suwa today.
That's why I was absent.
This was my chance.
What is this?
I'm eating it.
Ah, if you'd like some, help yourself. We'll eat together.
Machiko-san.
Hey, Machiko-san!
You won't laugh?
Laugh about what?
I won't laugh. Tell me.
If I eat lots, I figure I'll get big and flabby.
Huh?
When I'm big and flabby, I'll be ugly...
...and then...
You think your fiancée will dislike you?
Ahh...
Machiko-san...
So I'll eat lots of rice and get fat.
Is this...
...because you like Haruki-niisan?
This is messed up.
But it's the only thing I...
But if you get big and flabby, won't Haruki-san dislike you as well?
Ah!
But, this is all I can do now.
Yoko?
- I'll keep her company, too. - Eh?
I'll keep her company.
It may not mean much, but I'll keep you company.
Yoko-san...
I want to keep you company.
Geez... what fools.
Ahh!
I'll keep you company, too. We're friends, after all.
Ikuko-san...
That's right. The three of us'll get big and flabby together.
Delicious, isn't it?
Yeah, I could eat lots. It's delicious.
Still, there's that, isn't there?
It's a lot of trouble eating nothing but rice.
That's true.
What's the matter?
Does your stomach hurt?
It's impossible anymore.
After all, I never had an appetite to begin with, even more so than ordinary people.
I'm a useless woman.
I can't even become ugly or disliked.
- Hey! - Yoko, why are you laughing?
Did I say something weird?
Because...
I did, didn't I?
I don't like this.
I have to stop; my stomach hurts.
It's painful. Since I overate, it's doubly painful.
Machiko. Is anyone here?
Mother?!
Wha... what are you doing?
What on earth is this? Machiko!
Um...
Um... It was me.
It was me.
Um, I...
I, um...
Because I said I'd like to feel what it'd be like to stuff my stomach sometime...
...um, I made Machiko-san do something unreasonable.
I'm really... really very sorry.
It was me, too.
I'm truly very sorry!
I'm sorry.
Ah, ow...
Yoko?
Yoko-san?
I'm fine, I'm fine...
Oww...
Yoko?
- Ow, ow... it hurts! - Are you okay?
It hurts... Mom... it hurts.
"Because the pain was so intense, I fainted."
"The medical exam said it was due to overeating."
"That was obvious."
"Because I had eaten far too much..."
"...and had then gotten nervous due to Machiko's mother suddenly returning home."
Are you okay?
It was really just a false alarm.
I guess that's why you said you wanted to see your parent's face then.
Ah...
I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble.
You don't have a mother, do you?
Eh?
That's why, isn't it?
When in someone else's home and those people are absent...
...you shouldn't think up those sorts of things.
You're wrong...
I am truly very sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Not at all. Take care.
Yoko-san, I...
So long, see you at school tomorrow.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Eh!?
You brought that for such a thing? You're exaggerating this.
Because...
...they said, "Yoko-san's fainted. Please pick her up."
So I couldn't help it, now could I?
I'm sorry.
Hop on, Yoko.
That okay. It's embarrassing.
Never mind that and hop on.
It was a lot of hard work pulling this here.
And you did faint, after all.
Hop on.
Yes.
Thank you.
Shige-niichan.
Huh?
I rode this when we came here, didn't I?
Along with Mom.
I wonder what Mom was feeling?
We're... children without a mother, aren't we?
Have you ever thought, "if only Mom was here," Shige-niichan?
Did someone say something to you?
No.
People don't know how you feel, Yoko.
You're really trying your hardest.
Really trying.
Your hardest.
Well, while I do wish that Mom was still alive...
I never once thought it was a disability not having our mother around.
So you should feel pride, Yoko.
Yeah.
I think the man who makes you his bride...
...will be the happiest man in the world.
Fool.
That time.
That time when we used this cart to come here...
What do you think Dad and Haru-niisan and I...
...were thinking as we pulled this cart?
I don't know.
"We want to hurry and become men who can pull this cart alone," we thought.
Ehh...
And thanks to you, I got to do just that.
"While watching Shige-niisan's back..."
"...I remembered how we were always fighting like children..."
"...but I also thought how he was a man now."
"And I also thought how very much I wanted to see Mom."
"I had so many things to talk to Mom about."
"About school and about friends..."
"...and about my first experience with love."
"I missed Mom."
