"Serial TV Story"
Have you ever thought, "if only Mom was here," Shige-niichan?
I never once thought it was a disability not having our mother around.
So you should feel pride, Yoko.
Hey, wait!
I'm home!
This is... your grandmother.
"And that was how I came to know..."
"...the things I didn't know about my mother."

Fusako-chan?
Yes! What is it?
You're a little scary there.
Scary? In what way?
Your face.
Face?
Mine?
Ah... I'm sorry, somehow I became enraptured by your story.
Ah, but something's bothering me!
What happened after your grandmother arrived?
Really?
- Well then... - No, no, no.
Please wait a moment!
I'm getting my hopes up.
Yeah.
I'm looking forward to this! Looking forward to it!
My... you are an interesting person.
An interesting person?
An interesting person.
You don't have to say such a thing.
My husband tells me I'm a boring woman.
My children are always telling me to "shut up" or "be quiet" or "get lost."
Such fools.
Ah... I'm sorry.
I don't mean that your family is foolish.
No, that's not...
Still, those who don't recognize Fusako-chan to be an interesting and fun person are fools.
Really?
Ahh...
Shall we return to the story?
No. Wait, wait!
Let me anticipate the further developments.
Are you sure?
After all, we're at that point anyhow.
Well, that's true.
Anyhow?
Well, the thing that left the greatest impression on me from my grandmother...
...were her shoes.
My oldest daughter, Yoko.
I'm Yoko.
You don't favor her much, do you?
Yoko, some tea.
Yes.
"I wonder why it was..."
"...that I wanted to stare at her shoes no matter what?"
"Was it because they were shoes like you would see in the movies?"
"What I really remember is the feeling of how boring a person I was."
"That moment I was suddenly thinking about hiding our shabby shoes."
"And then being a little mortified by that."
I'm home!
Hey, Yoko!
There's an incredible car parked over there.
I'm certain it's a Hudson's Custom Eight!
Shh!
It's incredible. I wanna ride in it.
Shh!
Did you see it, Yoko?
Is the house where a car like that would come to visit somewhere around here?
It's our house.
Huh?
We have a guest.
Our mother's... mother.
Eh?
She's come?
Eh?
In that car?
Your shoes.
Make sure you clean the mud off and line them up properly.
Huh?
My second son, Shigeki.
I'm Shigeki.
You don't favor her, either.
Hiroko's children, huh...
Rather like country bumpkins, aren't you?
This is unpleasant.
I am very sorry.
My eldest son, Haruki, is living at the high school dormitory in Matsumoto right now.
I see.
That's the child, huh?
You're here for?
My husband is on an overseas trip.
That's why.
Is that right.
I haven't come here to forgive you.
Yes.
I haven't forgiven you for the time of her funeral, either.
Yes.
Is Father-in-law still the same?
He has become elderly, but...
...pitiful as well.
Our only daughter ran away from her parents.
I wonder if I shouldn't have come?
A Girl's School student?
Yes.
I'll be leaving.
Um, go to her grave. It's very close by.
The Kirino family grave is in Ikegami.
I will not go to some grave in the mountains.
Are you returning to Tokyo already?
No.
I am at an inn in Hotaka called "Houshouden."
I return tomorrow.
I see. Please, take care.
Would you like a ride in my car?
No. Thank you anyway.
"When I thought back on it later..."
"...grandmother wasn't able to be honest either, was she?"
"But then I thought..."
"...how much I hated the way she had spoken to my father."
If there's anything you'd like to hear, it's okay to ask.
Mom...
She was happy, wasn't she?
"I'm glad I came to Azumino."
That was the last thing your mother said.
I take pride in that.
That alone is fine for me.
However, if there's anything...
...you feel you want to know about your mother when she was still her daughter...
...feel free to visit your grandmother.
She'll still be here tomorrow, after all.
I'm fine.
Me, too.
There's nothing for you guys to feel reserved about.
What I already know about Mom is good enough for me.
For me, too.
"That might have been a little of a lie."
"I was filled with the feeling of wanting to know the truth."
"What sort of daughter was Mom like when she was my age?"
"I wanted to know."
"But I couldn't say that."
Ehh...
Were her shoes that beautiful?
Yes.
Ehh...
Shouldn't you go? To visit your grandmother.
That's okay.
I see.
Still, you might not be able to meet again.
That's okay.
Such a waste.
If it were me, I'd go to Tokyo with her, just as I was.
Ah...
Why haven't you come to visit me?
Eh?
