Sorry, I have to go.
Answer the questions.
You're not kind to just anyone.
You don't want to be everyone's friend.
Say something.
You don't trust people who are kind to all.
They seem uncommitting.
Others don't know what's on your mind.
Yes?
I'll take over.
All right.
Sorry, I got up late.
You have something on.
Good morning.
But you're actually very easy to read.

If you don't tell us anything,
there's nothing we can do to help you in family court.
Fine. At this rate, it'll be taken as a case
in which you simply lost your temper and resorted to violence.
You'll be seen as a child with emotional problems.
Isn't she a middle school student.
- Yeah. - What did she do?
Haven't you looked over the documents?
I was suddenly put in charge of her.
Someone highly recommended you.
Who would do that?
She's been refusing to go to school for a long time.
That's a common problem these days.
The main reason is her parent's over-protectiveness.
As a result,
her sense of individuality and judgment became deficient.
So she became a willful, inconsiderate child who can't understand other people's feelings.
It's common among middle and upper class families.
The parents think that they understand their children
in their strange intellectual way.
Is her family wealthy?
They own several companies.
I understand her situation now.
Her parents must've reached their limits.
They forced her to go to school one day.
Then what?
She stabbed her homeroom teacher's hand with a compass.
Wow!
- Look what you've done! - Sorry.
This suit cost a lot!
Compensate me for it!
Stop it!
Stop, stop! Stop it!
Please, forgive her.
Don't apologize to him!
You're at fault! Apologize!
Step outside.
This is interesting.
No violence, okay?
You started it!
Stop it!
I'm going to call the police!
Stop it!
Why won't you help him?
Apologize!
You're pathetic! Come on, apologize!
Why should I apologize?!
I've had it already!
Don't get in the way!
Isn't that enough?
I don't know what happened at work, but you're carrying it a bit too far.
Are you with him?
Is he your superior? I'll break his arm.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
I'll pay for your suit.
Are you okay?
I'm all right, they weren't throwing hard punches.
Is this your apartment?
A friend asked me to care for her cat while she's on a trip.
I'm a civil service worker, so I can't fight back.
We officers, receive martial arts training so I could've fought.
A real fight isn't like training.
You must be kidding. I'm pretty strong at fights.
I was notorious for being bad,
so even the local yakuza made way for me.
There are new guys like you that come in,
but they don't last very long.
What do you mean by that?
I recommended you to be in charge of Suzuoka Kobato.
One of the officers said this of you:
You had a platonic relationship with Miike Anna.
That would make sense.
Who said that?
Tell me about your family first.
My family?
I came from an ordinary family.
My father was an art teacher and my mother a housewife.
They've been learning social dancing lately.
Any siblings?
I told you my brother died in an accident seven years ago.
Tell me about him.
Why?
I want to hear about him.
He was a rising artist.
Is that why you started art, too?
It's just a hobby for me.
Were you sad?
What do you mean?
That your brother was talented.
Not really.
He excelled in studies and sports, too.
I was no comparison to him.
What about your parents? Did they favor him?
I don't know about that. I'll ask them next time.
His ex-fiancée...
What does she do?
She plays the flute.
So she's an artist.
They made a very nice couple.
Were you envious?
Jealous?
What are you getting at?
Weren't you in love with her?
Were you happy when your brother died?
It must've been very hard on you as a child, to be compared to him.
You couldn't even get the woman you love.
You ask cruel questions.
Don't try to laugh it off like that.
Aren't you going to ask me about my family?
Then we have to be fair.
Why do I have to be fair with you? I'm an officer.
It's against the rule to say that.
Yes?
Can I see you for a minute?
Yes.
I didn't expect to collect money from you.
- Sorry. - I was joking.
I bought it at a bargain sale.
Here.
Bye.
We'll call it a day.
Hey, I want some.
Stop it, you don't really want it.
It's against the rule.
If you get food poisoning, she'll be responsible.
She's just stingy. She's from a wealthy family.
She was probably being picked on at school.
She hasn't been going.
Suzuoka Kobato, come.
She took everything. She's super stingy.
Be sure to talk to him.
Aren't you making advances on him?
No way.
I...
No way.
I used to be very bad before.
New guys like you come and quickly go.
Once I lose my temper, I can't control myself.
I hate timid people.
I was...
a delinquent.
No way.
- New guys like you... - I hate timid people.
- Guys like you, guys like you... - Timid people, timid people...
Damn it!
Sorry.
I lied.
She must love you.
It's not romance.
It's like infatuation.
Probably because there's a time limit.
What are the girls at the Juvenile Center like?
They probably don't talk about themselves much.
or have people willing to listen to them.
Doesn't she want to know more about you?
She asks things that I don't want to talk about.
What is that?
My brother.
You don't want to be asked about him?
I don't mind answering the usual questions.
Like, he was a talented artist who surpassed me at everything I did.
But, that isn't enough for her.
What does she want to know?
She may already know the answers,
but just wants me to verbalize it.
Why?
She wants to see me in pain.
Don't scrub so hard.
Let's go to bed already.
Can't sleep?
Why does she wash her hands?
I don't know.
At first, I thought she just liked to keep clean.
She's an extreme.
Yeah.
But we shouldn't ask.
Is she, by any chance, a mute?
No, not that.
Everyone has their own secrets.
We all need time to open up to others.
Isn't it the same for you?
And you?
Yeah.
What you told me the other day...
about Makimura Koki and Miike Anna.
Yes?
You guessed right.
Did you tell him?
I'm sorry. I wanted to see his reaction.
He must have been terribly upset then.
How did you know?
He wanted to know who made the comment.
I think you should stay away from him.
He's very dangerous.
Poor thing... For you to be in here.
Are you eating properly?
When you get out, let's go to somewhere warm,
so that you can forget all the unpleasantness.
Yes, let's do that.
I was wrong.
I shouldn't have forced you to go to school.
Let's eat.
- I'll make you tea. - Thank you.
Don't think anything of it.
Everyone thought I didn't know how to cook,
so I wanted to prove them wrong.
It was very tasty. Thanks.
Don't get me wrong.
Don't expect it again.
Yes, I know.
But if you want it badly, I could think about it.
But you'll have to give me something in return.
She said she'd want something back in return?
I guess she doesn't do anything for free.
She was living in the U.S.
Is an idiotic woman like her, your type?
She graduated from Stanford University.
Education doesn't matter. You can still be dense and stupid.
I agree with that.
Is she your type or not?
- You're persistent! - You bet I am.
She's my type...
Not.
I thought so.
Tell me about your family.
I'm not done with you.
Never mind about me.
No, it's not. I'm not going to talk about myself.
That's fine, too.
I can't be spending time only with you.
I'm in charge of some other girls, too.
There are more new girls coming in tomorrow.
- Am I the same? - What do you mean?
Am I the same as the others, or just one in the bunch?
The example is bad.
I think...
I'm different from the others.
You're full of confidence.
No, that's not it. I'm special to you.
A lot of girls tell me that.
They ask if I'm friendly to the other girls.
They want me to say that they are special.
No.
They think they're in love, because I listen.
After all, they're in a confined space.
The other officers experience the same.
No.
When they leave here, they'll forget about us.
No!
I know I'll forget.
You asked if I was happy when my brother died.
Do you enjoy asking me such cruel questions?
You know the answer to that, too. You want to watch me squirm.
Because your in pain yourself.
I don't know what you are suffering about,
but at this point, I don't care to know.
What good will it do to try to console each other?
Everyone has things they don't want to talk about,
because it might come out wrong.
That's why you want to keep it to yourself.
Is it wrong to console each other?
If it's beyond your reach, you need help.
But you need to trust the other person first.
That's why I want to see your wound first.
I'm not trying to hurt you...
I want to heal you.
I want to be healed, too.
It has nothing to do with love and romance.
Sorry.
Then I can't help you.
My wound... is healed.
You're lying!
Don't talk! Keep your mouth shut.
Aren't you going to eat?
Are you feeling sick?
Maybe she got jilted by the officer.
Hey, you. What was that for?!
Stop it!
Why did you do that!
Stop it!
Come!
Say something!
You needn't talk.
The officer normally has to fill that in, but can you write it in?
It doesn't have to be today. Any time is fine.
I'll talk about myself today.
Hey, you seem tight-lipped.
I used to skip school.
It wasn't because I hated to study or go to school.
But one humid day, the cicada was crying.
I was running a bit late, so I was in a hurry.
But I glanced over at the pole where it was.
It was a very, very hot day...
and I had swimming class that day, that I hated.
A minute or two went by. I don't know how long I stood there.
Then the cicada flew off.
Just then, that cicada, pissed on my face.
For some reason, that made me very sad.
So I went home instead of going to school.
And I stayed out of school for a long time.
I got used to not going.
I felt bad inside, but my body got used to it.
I spent my whole day at home.
Like a video game, I felt like a king at home.
A timid, but sly king.
I hardly spoke to any strangers.
Even after I grew up into an adult...
I'm still timid and cowardly as ever.
But I only realized what went wrong now.
I probably realized it too late...
It's because I didn't get angry at the cicada.
It's because I didn't think of chasing it and punishing it!
At the very least, I should've felt upset inside.
But I just ran away.
I became an officer for cowardly reasons.
There are a lot of noisy cicadas here.
I wanted to control them in a safe environment.
But...
No one will yield to me.
I...
I didn't want to become the way I am.
Not the way I am...
I have a question.
Who orders the books here?
Why?
If the library isn't big, the person's interests
strangely show in the books that are ordered.
There are a lot of foreign materials.
A lot of art books, too.
That person must like Marilyn Monroe.
She was influenced by Picasso.
If I had to describe his character in a few words...
He's probably a self- complacent romanticist.
Like he peered right into my heart.
I'm sorry, but can we call it a day.
Yes, of course.
What is it?
I thought it would be all right since you are his younger brother.
To let you use his studio and paint me.
But I wasn't thinking straight.
Do I remind you of him and make it hard on you?
That's not it.
I had a dream yesterday.
About what?
I was sitting there and he was facing the canvas.
I was playing my flute.
When I looked up again...
the man who was standing there wasn't him, but you.
Maybe it was painful for you to remember.
Is it painful to forget about my brother?
That's good for you. It's been seven years!
It's about time you let go and stop suffering!
I'll surely make you.
I'll study my art harder.
Someday, I'll be as good as my brother.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm...
I'm not that kind of woman.
I'm a musician that's quite acknowledged,
but I felt inferior to his sense of imagination.
I became a plain woman.
I wasn't attracted to him for his talent.
He had an innocent heart like a child's.
Even if he was cruel at times...
I simply loved him as a single woman.
Even if my art should come close to his...
I still love him.
My feelings won't reach you, ever?
I don't feel unfortunate in being in love with him.
You find peace in it?
Yes.
I'm hungry.
Thanks to that fool, I missed out.
You were wrong too, for teasing her.
I must've guessed right.
How enviable.
You've been jilted, too.
It's not definite for me.
But he hasn't written.
True love will survive through all.
Not like the long distance relationship that breaks.
I'm sure he'll wait for you at the family court.
That's nice of you.
Do you really believe that?
I'm really hungry!
What's with you?
Thank you.
Are you sure?
- I'm fine. - Fool, take it.
It comes from her heart.
Thanks.
- I hope it's not poisoned. - Eriko.
But I can't believe it.
Let's eat it at the same time.
Shall we?
Ready, go.
So she did.
Yeah.
She won't talk yet.
What did you do?
Huh?
What did you do, to open up her heart?
It's a secret.
Don't keep me in suspense.
It has to do with my days as a delinquent.
I want you to show me your wound first.
My wound is healed.
You're lying!
Seven years ago, at my brother's wake,
both my parents were frantically crying.
Even his fiancée...
But I didn't cry.
I thought maybe it didn't hit home yet, because the shock was too great.
But that wasn't it.
I was always compared to him, so I lived under pressure.
So when he died, I felt a sense of relief.
I thought maybe... Just maybe...
I might get the woman that I secretly loved.
I felt happy.
Am I...
Am I the only one that you've told?
And will tell?
Yes.
I probably won't tell anyone about it.
Ever?
Yes, forever.
I didn't tell you because I wanted you to open up.
I know.
I just...
I know.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
You wouldn't call that love.
If...
If it's okay with you...
Nor is it romance.
For the month that I'm here...
Just for that time only...
Then...
I'll forget about everything.
Can I be in love with you?
Yes.
Let's think up our own password then.
Just for the two of us.
Who are you? Her new boyfriend?
You are very pretty.
- Apple. - She talked.
If she can't see me, she'll kill herself.
Your painting lacks something critical.
Look at me.
