Let's let the fresh air in.
In your small hideout... were open serenity and bare loneliness.
Very, very, simply put...
There's probably only one thing you believe in.
I'm not the only one.
What?
- I'm not the only! - Look out!
My investigation is still incomplete,
so I want to hear the rest of your story.
Um...
I'm sorry.
It's all right, I'm not bothered by it.
I reflected deeply on it, so please...
What's the matter?
I bit my tongue.
Like a stray cat in the back alley...
You were very hungry for kindness.
And in order to protect yourself... you were cautious of all your enemies.

Why didn't you hold me?
You fool! If I did, I'd be fired.
You must know what I've done.
I had sex with many men, for money.
So many, that I don't remember their faces.
You have to cherish yourself more.
There are a lot of happy and enjoyable moments.
That's like a textbook lecture.
I was very bad in the past, an uncontrollable punk.
You?
That's why I can relate to your pains and understand your feelings.
I don't believe it.
How boring.
I'm not trying to make it sound amusing.
I dislike timid people.
Well, I...
That hurts. Don't pull on me.
Sorry.
The girl stole your part-time job's pay?
Why didn't you say that from the start?
Because she was a friend.
That girl was?
She listened to my story...
and cried for me.
For the first time...
You got sympathy?
I thought she was my friend.
But she stole your money.
Did you verify that? It could be a mistake.
Maybe you dropped it.
She was shopping with her boyfriend...
At the record store?
Did you overhear them?
Then you can't be sure.
I could tell...
from the look on her face...
That's why you...?
Who is she?
Don't you think you overreacted? They're seriously hurt.
I thought she was my friend!
I couldn't forgive her.
I'm sorry for yelling.
You did well.
I'm sure her impression of you has changed a great deal.
- Think so? - Yes.
Just...
You shouldn't have said "couldn't forgive."
You should have said it made you sad.
Let's go.
What are you smirking about! How creepy!
Welcome back. Just ignore her.
She's moody because she didn't get a reply to the letter she sent.
That's not it!
Maybe your boyfriend is illiterate.
Get real! He's not like yours!
He wouldn't make me sell myself.
You couldn't get any customers.
Why would you come back! You should've died!
Eriko!
If you keep saying such awful things, you will never get a reply.s
But she started it!
Anna, stop getting on her nerves. She was worried about you.
How kind of you.
I wasn't really worried.
I didn't get your name.
She won't tell you. She's a bit strange, too.
Ai.
Hayakawa Ai.
"Ai" as in "love"?
No, it's written as grass and crown.
Oh, as in "indigo."
How do you write it?
What?
So you don't know, too.
I do.
It's written like this.
You didn't know, too.
- I knew. - Liar.
That's good.
Ms. Kuwata, you have a visitor.
Please excuse me.
I wanted to apologize.
That's all.
Wait.
I'm almost done.
Treat me to dinner.
Okay.
I'll talk to you guys later.
They're my friends.
Like kinds attract.
You'll get it later.
- You're no friend. - What?
You ratted on us.
Hey, wait a minute.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
You're missing a button.
You're right.
Do you have an extra?
There's probably one in my desk.
I'll sew it on later.
I can do it myself.
Can you really?
I've been living alone for a long time.
You should get married soon.
You, too.
Ms. Nagumo is off today.
Are you continuing for her?
No, I have my own questions to ask.
It's a survey for you and the others.
We'll be checking your past lifestyle,
and perception of your culture of sentiments.
When did you first do it?
Maybe a female staff should take over.
I don't mind. You'll do.
- I'll start with the questions. - I'm ready.
Do you have VD? (Venereal disease = STD)
Can't hear you.
Do you have any VD?
Have you ever kissed?
That was...
At what age?
Three. I did it with my neighbor's dog, Taro.
I mean with a person. Don't tease me like that.
Then it's none.
Do I need to have done it?
No, not really.
The rest will be not applicable then.
No sex, too.
I've done that.
You said you've never kissed.
You don't have to kiss to do that.
I wouldn't know that.
All right.
How many did you do it with?
Five?
Was it more than you thought?
Some girls have more.
You're way off.
50?
Can't be.
500.
Are you serious about this!
I'm submitting this to the family court.
Write in an appropriate number.
Besides, you should tell me your info first.
I'll write it down for you.
You seem to be under a misunderstanding.
I'm caring for your cat.
And that's against the policies.
I'm grateful.
No need to be.
I decided to go against the policies and do it to make things go more smoothly.
That way, you won't create any problems.
So I haven't given you any special treatment.
And I don't plan to do so hereafter, either.
Do you understand?
Well...
Of course, I will listen to your problems.
But I want you to understand my official position.
You weren't crying?
I'm sorry. I'll take it seriously.
I promise you that I would behave.
You needn't hold back.
My stomach hurts.
Eriko! We're all waiting.
All that effort for nothing.
Eriko!
Hello.
I knew you'd come.
This is one of the few places we can be alone.
Don't get me wrong.
I came to warn you.
About what?
Takayama is coming back tomorrow.
Do you know why he ended up here?
No, I don't.
He committed a murder.
Without waiting for a family court judgment,
he will be sent to the reformatory.
So he has no reason to behave here.
He said he injured himself.
He probably didn't name the culprit because he was
planning to come back and take revenge.
If he told us, then we'd separate you two.
That's very perceptive. So what?
If you will admit to it, then I can change his room.
Are you worried about me?
I just dislike trouble.
I'll ask you again.
Did you injure his leg?
I dislike violence.
I'm disappointed.
You might have a fracture.
Don't touch me.
Didn't those three do it?
Report them to the officer.
This is our style of handling things.
But you didn't rat on them, did you?
Of course not.
If I blab the drug route, then I will be killed when I get out.
In that case...
They won't believe me.
Why?
Aren't they your friends?
That's what I thought.
But you saw their faces at the cafeteria.
What is it about?
I can't say her name, but I was seduced.
I didn't go for it, of course.
Maybe you were just teased.
That's not it. I was a bad seed before,
so she must've sensed the same smell in me.
She must have thought that I would understand.
When I was young, I'd be out of control when I lost my temper.
Timid people made me strangely furious.
What was your name?
Don't you remember?
I'm Kasai, Kasai Takao.
I was notorious for being bad and...
I already heard that.
So what are you trying to tell me?
I forgot.
Never mind. Today is your welcome party.
Thanks.
That feels good.
Can you keep a secret?
I put on a good front earlier, but... to be truthful, I ratted on them.
The police threatened to throw me into the reformatory if I didn't.
Then I wouldn't be able to see my boyfriend.
He was my first decent boyfriend.
He would listen to what I had to say.
He told me to get out of the group...
and was seriously concerned about me.
It was the first time I was seriously in love.
So I got what I deserved.
They have every right to treat me terribly.
What is it?
Your boyfriend's name.
Tetsuya.
Yeah.
Isn't it a nice name?
He sort of looks like a hippo.
A hippo.
What's so funny? Looks aren't everything.
I went drinking last night and...
My head is splitting!
What do you want?
Haven't you done enough? Stop picking on Eriko.
- Just ignore them. - But...
What a thing to say.
You're a traitor, all right.
When we beat up your boyfriend a bit,
he started crying out aloud.
His fat body got rubbed against the ground.
It's a lie. Don't take them seriously.
You're quite a fake.
The hippo showed us your letters since he had no use for them.
- That's a lie. - Don't fall for it.
It's true.
He said he had nothing to do with a woman like you anymore,
while his nose was running.
You had written in your ugly handwriting...
"I want to see you. I want to see you."
"I want to see you."
Eriko!
Sit down and eat!
- Let me go! - Let me go!
Eriko!
Eriko, sit down and eat!
Let me go!
The hippo that you miss is gone now!
You're lying!
That's a lie!
I'll do it myself.
I'm glad I had a button like it.
Thanks.
You haven't been here for a while.
This place hasn't changed much.
It's as if my brother is in the art studio there.
That's what I sometimes think too.
I'd make the dark mint tea that he loved, and open that door.
Can I go in?
Sure.
It's incomplete.
Yeah.
I know what you're thinking.
If you cause any trouble,
I'll keep you confined until your date of court appearances.
You're Matsuda Eriko's roommate.
What was the cause of this morning's incident?
What was that all about?
Don't be scared. We'll be sure to protect you.
Will you protect me?
Yes. Of course.
I have a more frightening experience.
What is it?
He...
Talking about Makimura Koki, who forced you to take customers?
- Don't be afraid of him. - I love him.
What?
I'm crazy about him.
Are you still up?
Yeah.
Shu is doing fine.
Okay...
Is something wrong?
I heard there was a fight at the cafeteria.
I was afraid you were involved in it.
I wouldn't.
I made the promise with you.
That's right.
Your button.
You have a good eye.
- I didn't have the same one. - Who sewed it on?
Who sewed it on?
I did it myself. I can do a lot of things by myself.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Did you really sew it on yourself?
It doesn't matter who did it.
Who did it?
My older brother's ex-fiancée.
He died in an accident seven years ago.
You're in love with her.
I can tell.
Have you kissed her?
Have you had sex with her?
Don't say that.
Why? You asked me.
How many times?
Cut it out already.
Ariake.
Yeah.
Can you believe it?
Believe what?
Miike Anna.
She still loves her boyfriend who used her.
I don't understand her.
Don't get too involved.
They're only here for a month until they appear in the family court.
It's just a temporary home. Don't get too involved.
Hasn't anyone aroused your concern so far?
Not in a lustful way.
There are many boys and girls with problems,
but we're just a salaried civil service worker.
We will quickly forget about each other.
Is that how it is?
Yeah.
She was awesome.
She was unbelievably fast.
I wish you could've seen that big one fly.
I'm not going to thank you for it.
Excuse me.
- I'll be outside. - Okay.
Sit down.
Yoda Asako has a broken chin.
It happened during exercise time.
It might be written down as an accident...
so it won't be reported against you.
Relieved?
I'm disappointed.
You promised that you'd behave.
That's all. You may go now.
Stop treating me like a kid.
You're just the same.
What do you mean?
You...
You make me feel alone.
When you're feeling truly alone,
you want to be treated special by someone.
Ask me those questions again now.
When you're feeling truly sad, you want someone to listen to you.
Have you kissed before?
And you want to keep that person in a special place in your heart.
And hope that it's not something unreal.
Does she concern you?
Strangely, yes. I don't know why, though.
He's only lying!
Aren't you starting to feel for her?
My mom, committed suicide.
I can rape you here!
I'm not going home.
