You're like the others.
You make me feel alone.
How troublesome.
You may be upset one day...
but the next day, you're in a different mood.
Follow everyone.
Especially on a nice day like this.
You give in a bit, and try to make-up.

Ikawa Masshiro.
Yes?
You have a visitor.
Okay.
Is it your mom again?
Don't get jealous because no one comes to see you.
No one comes to see you, too.
My high school teacher did.
You probably had a relationship with him.
- Are you for real? - That's scary.
How's the business?
Times are bad now.
Are you eating properly?
Yeah.
Are you drinking a lot?
What's wrong?
You make it sound as if I'm the one in prison.
It's not prison, but a detention center.
You're right.
I'll be going to family court in a month.
Then I'll come home.
I hope you can come home.
I will.
You can't live alone. You need me.
That's so true.
Don't worry.
Ikawa Masshiro's mother runs a snack bar.
No wonder she's wearing heavy make-up.
She's a strong girl that helps her mother.
She has good grades in high school, too.
What did she do?
She's been writing her reflection essays daily.
I'm sure she will be sent home.
What did she do?
- She pushed him over. - What?
She pushed her father down the stairs.
He's still in the hospital.
Why did she do that?
Was he that terrible?
He's not my real dad. My dad is in Nagoya.
Your parents got a divorce?
Yes, when I was still small.
He was a customer.
In the beginning, he pretended to be kind.
He treated my mother and me well.
But once they got married, he completely changed.
He wouldn't go to work,
and he would gamble away the sales money.
Every time something upset him, he would physically abuse my mom.
So you pushed him over?
I reflected on what I did.
Why should you! He's just a scum!
She's right.
You should reflect a bit.
You, too.
I want to go home. I can't leave my mom alone.
What about him?
He said he'll divorce her when he's discharged.
I think my mom was just lonely.
We're going to start over when I go home.
I envy you, you're close to your mother.
Don't you want your mom to visit you?
My mom can't come.
She...
She died.
Is it another one of your sympathy acts?
She committed suicide...
as a result of my dad's illicit affair.
Is that true?
This is so gloomy!
Isn't there anything cheerful to talk about!
Your parents come to visit you often.
Aren't you from a rich family?
You get a lot of gifts.
What is a Missy like you discontent about?
What about you?
I've been disowned.
That figures.
Ai, what about you?
Why?
- Why won't you open up?! - Stop it.
She doesn't want you to pry.
Painting?
Yes, the portrait my brother painted of you.
I want to finish it.
I know you want to keep it as is for your memories,
and that I'm not as talented as him.
Okay.
He's not only mine.
I wasn't the only one suffering from his death.
You've been wanting to surpass him at something.
But he's gone.
Did I wake you up?
You have a nice name.
Thanks.
My dad thought of the name.
He liked the smell of masshiro (pure white), clean sheets.
I went to see him in Nagoya last year.
At the old address I had.
He looked kind.
He looked strong and kind, as I imagined.
But there was a little girl beside him.
He had gotten remarried.
I came home, without calling out to him.
Masshiro...
When I saw that, I felt more sorry for my mom.
My mom is alone, so she needs me.
Need you?
That's why...
I beat up the mean guy... in place of my mother.
For my mom's sake.
My...
- My parents... - No.
Don't force yourself.
When you can consider me as a friend someday, tell me then.
It's easy to open up to a friend, right?
There's no time limit. I'll wait until you talk.
I know.
Do you remember? In the bus.
We met once, before you came here.
I'm sure it was you.
Or maybe I'm wrong.
Come to think of it, she was prettier.
That was me.
But the image is different.
I had make-up on.
Weren't you carrying a sketchbook?
I remember. You draw lousy.
You needn't say that.
You called me ugly.
I didn't say that.
You said I looked ugly without make-up.
You're still the same girl.
I rather be told that I'm prettier without make-up.
I see.
You're still single because you're insensitive.
Who said I was single?
You have no ring on.
I just leave it off.
Not true.
I'm only joking.
Are you teasing me?
Not in particular. It's because you won't open up.
You were wrong to break your promise.
It's not fair for you to turn silent on me.
You wouldn't understand.
What do you mean?
I'm talking, aren't I?
You get easily upset.
But you easily smile, too.
That's fine.
I'll ask you some questions.
I feel like you're making fun of me.
It's your imagination.
I'm going to ask about your family environment.
What's wrong?
Do you want a different topic?
This has become our meeting place, hasn't it?
Can we talk a little?
I'm not the officer in charge of you, but I wanted to talk to you myself.
About what?
You may not know,
but just the other day Miike Anna slit her wrist.
Normally, officers don't tell the minors
things that may make them emotional.
I'm telling you this, hoping that it will serve as a medicine for you.
She has a naive heart.
Probably because her mother committed suicide.
That's probably why she obeyed you, too.
I expected it to be a more interesting topic.
What's so funny?
She loves me.
That's all there is to it.
She doesn't love you.
Aren't you... starting to feel for her?
In a lustful way, too.
You!
You can't lay a hand on me first.
He's right.
You're breaking the rules.
- But... - I'll report you.
All right.
You should be able to understand Anna's love, since you're a woman.
When you're truly in love with someone...
physical attraction becomes irrelevant.
To verify that, you had other men make love to her.
I wanted to verify it for myself.
If I'd still love her after she'd slept with others.
Can you call that love?
Ready. Go!
Don't lose.
Do your best.
Ready. Go!
Is she going to lose?
Stop!
You're up next.
I'm up against you.
Ready. Go!
Go easy on me.
That's it for today.
Why?! We're having a grand time now.
- There's a visitor. - Okay.
Not for you.
Let's go.
Must I.
Must I meet the person?
You don't want to?
If you will...
Yes, I'll be there.
Hello, Ai.
Excuse me. Can I be alone with my daughter?
Sorry, it's the rules.
I understand.
Sit down.
Please, sit down.
Your mother found out you were in here, so she collapsed out of worry.
I don't know what you are unhappy about,
but how can you leave home like that,
and keep out of touch for two years?
Then you injured someone.
Do you have something against us?
I raised you preciously.
I earnestly helped you with school, and showered you with my love.
What didn't you like?
Sit down.
Come home when you're released.
Don't worry about the family court.
We have already reached a settlement with the victims' parents.
We'll ask the court to be lenient with you.
Okay?
I'm not going back.
What?
I'm not going home.
Who do you think you are!
Please, stop it.
I'm sorry, but your time is up.
Why did this happen?
I haven't sat here for a while, so I feel a bit nervous.
Just be yourself.
That's what he used to tell me, too.
Think of me as my brother.
When I'm standing here, I'm my brother.
The talented artist that is greatly missed.
Please play song.
Here?
That should make us both relax.
What song shall I play?
A song my brother liked.
You must be tired of waiting.
I'm sorry.
How is Makimura Koki?
He's a mystery.
He has different morals from us.
Think so?
He's intelligent, but...
Are you able to understand him?
It's just an instinct.
So you understand him.
Don't get mad. I said it was an instinct.
Don't keep me in suspense.
Regarding his relationship to Anna...
Yes?
I think they had a platonic relationship.
I don't believe that.
Then it'll make sense.
Did you let him in?
He has nowhere else to go.
What about the divorce?
He asked me to reconsider. He said he'll work earnestly.
He's only lying!
Ikawa.
Lower your voice, will you?
Your dad cried.
He's not my dad.
That person isn't my dad.
- Masshiro... - Get a grip!
I'm will be coming home soon.
I'll be there for you.
I'll take care of you.
You shouldn't feel lonely.
He wants to apologize to you,
even after you seriously injured him.
He wants to come here to visit you.
Stop it!
I'm going to end the visiting time.
Please forgive her.
You don't understand.
Yes, I do!
The three of us can happily live together again.
You don't understand!
He seemed a bit stern.
Did he restrain you?
I guess not.
Was your mom the cause?
I guess not.
What an awful job, I have to interrogate people,
when I'm not any better.
Do you want to know?
Do you want to know about me?
Don't force yourself.
Not as an officer.
But as Shu's friend?
Shu's friend?
Yeah.
When you go to my apartment to talk to Shu,
you have to know something about me.
You lost me there, but I guess that's true.
I don't really have to tell you.
I want to know, I want to know.
Just say it once.
I want to know.
I won't tell you everything at once...
since I don't completely trust you yet.
What will make you trust me?
Are you sleepy?
I'm thinking.
Okay.
Guess what I want to do most now.
If you guess right, I will trust you.
What is your favorite food?
You want to eat your fill of that.
That's not it.
If you're going to joke about it, then just forget it.
Is it something that you can do here?
I don't know, after all.
Then there's no use in telling you...
Probably.
You may be right.
What's the hint?
There is none.
Okay.
You don't tell me the important things.
I think I'm being very cooperative.
One of the officers analyzed you and said...
Who?
Is it the young one that looks dumb?
I can't say his name.
That's the policy here.
That's why you won't tell me your name.
He said you had a platonic relationship with Anna.
I don't understand the logic behind it,
but he said that would explain everything.
Go in.
Who is that officer?
Someone, help!
I can rape you here!
Don't get big-headed!
None of you civil workers have any right!
A single scandal will quickly drag you down.
Tell that officer to not act smart!
Stay away... Stay away from me!
Go away!
- Did something happen? - No, nothing.
But...
Just go on!
All right.
Aren't you going to write your essay today?
How do we know if that will really help in court?
The officers may be making us write it to satisfy their egos.
That's why it became foolish to me, too.
Don't eat by yourself and share.
It's against the rules.
You could get food poisoning.
I know, but a little won't hurt.
Stingy!
Stop acting like a glutton.
It's such a bore to see your faces everyday.
The feelings are mutual.
Let's have a match.
We don't know who's stronger between Ai and Masshiro, do we?
Good night.
Hold on. Line three.
Who?
A woman.
Hello?
It's Chihiro, your model.
I'm busy this week, so I can't meet with you.
That's all right. I'm not entering any contest.
Do you have some time to talk?
What would you want to do now?
Is that too vague?
Ready, go!
So that girl is giving you problems.
I wouldn't be able to help you.
She's of different age and upbringing.
That's true, but...
Does she concern you?
Strangely, yes. I don't know why, though.
I've seen a lot girls until now.
If it isn't love, then...
It's nothing like that. Probably.
She probably reminds you of yourself.
I doubt it. She's entirely...
It's an invisible bond.
I'll give you a helpful hint.
For girls that age. What they want to do,
and what they want done for them, is the same.
Come on!
Masshiro, you can win. Just a little more.
Show your spirit!
Masshiro wins!
What's wrong?
Are you crying because you're overjoyed?
I...
I don't regret it at all.
He should've died.
My mom isn't getting a divorce.
Why?
He beat her up so much, too.
Why?
I assured her that I would stay by her side.
She's a woman.
She can't live without a man.
When you say it, it sounds so real, that it becomes creepy.
Isn't that how it is with friendships, too?
When you get a lover, he becomes priority.
In that case, I don't want to mature into a woman.
It must be very devastating for you.
I'm such a fool.
I'm not needed by anyone.
No one needs me!
Don't say that.
Then what about me!
What about everyone here?
Sorry, but I have to go back to work now.
Have you figured out what I want to do?
No, not yet.
Are you stupid?
Even if, by chance, I got it right. You might still claim otherwise.
I won't lie.
Really?
Why don't you guess? You have one chance.
If I have only one chance, then I can't guess wrong.
That's right.
The Chief warned me today to look proper.
But I'm clumsy, so I can't do it myself.
Will you sew it on for me tomorrow?
Who cares about the future far ahead...
Sure.
Was that it?
No.
I see.
But...
I'll give you another chance.
If it's something important, I want to know right now.
I bet you didn't do well in home economics.
If she's someone important, I want to see her right now.
Isn't that what you said?
It has nothing to do with love and romance.
What was that for?!
Why should I apologize?!
Why does she wash her hands?
He's very dangerous.
I didn't want to become the way I am.
Can I be in love with you?
