It's me.
Yes.
Okay.
Sankeien Sogyo Hospital.
I'll be right there.
(Love That Makes You Cry: Final Episode)
Where's Sugihara?
She's still inside.
They say that she was already unconscious when she went in.
Seems like it was done by the thief.
She fell and hit her head.
Have you noticed?
Lately, Konatsu's not afraid of the sound of helicopter anymore.
Right.
Haruta.
Thank you.
What are you guys doing over there?
We need to finish this by tomorrow morning...
or else it will be too late.
- Coming. - Coming.
(Hinata Kihoko)
Hey.
To Sankeien Sogyo Hospital.
She suffered some nerve damage in her brain.
She's now in a coma.
This medical condition is called Diffuse Axonal Injury or DAI.
It's a condition where the long connective fibers of the brain...
are sheared rapidly as the brain accelerates and decelerates...
due to injury.
Is it life-threatening?
In most cases, yes.
But majority recovers from it. All right.
Let's wait for her to regain consciousness first.
Please wait here.
(Intensive Care Unit)
She'll be okay, right?
I can't go back tonight. You go ahead.
What's the matter?
Well...
May I ask where the owner of this coat is?
She's still receiving treatment.
Is she not cured yet?
That bag is hers, right?
Yes. She went into the ambulance so I took care of her bag.
Are you the theft victim?
It was not really a theft.
He didn't do anything wrong.
He already returned the bag to me,
but he was still chased and beaten up by the people.
The police took him away afterward.
Are you talking about the thief?
Did you see the criminal hurt her?
He's not a criminal. He apologized.
He hurt someone. How can you say he did nothing wrong?
No, it happened because a lot of people surrounded us.
Committing theft is a fact.
This lady knows the truth.
The police are not listening to my explanation.
So, I hope she can help explain it to them...
and tell them he's not a criminal.
She's in a coma now!
Cola, juice or tea.
Which one do you like?
Sorry.
It's all my fault.
She should have just left me alone.
Sugihara is not someone...
who would turn a blind eye.
That guy was not the one who hurt her.
It's the people who wanted to catch him that bumped into her.
(Do fall in love and I hope someday...)
(you will meet that one person who belongs to you.)
(My beloved Oto. I love you.)
(Please be happy.)
(Love, Mom)
(To Mom)
This is her mom's letter.
I heard about it before.
Soda went...
to Hokkaido to give this letter to her.
I thought about it before. If I were him, what would I do?
Will I also go there like him?
Usually, people wouldn't do that.
This one...
should be what she wrote recently.
I think...
that she wrote what she really felt...
in this letter.
On whether...
she chooses me...
or Soda.
I think it's written in there.
Don't worry.
She chose you.
You just have to be a good boyfriend now...
and pray for her safe recovery.
Okay.
Hand me the buttons over there.
(Shopping Street Comes Alive)
(Five Years After East Japan Earthquake)
- Just give that to me. - Wait.
(Shopping Street Comes Alive)
(Five Years After East Japan Earthquake)
Don't just laze around.
Okay.
We have to hurry!
We'll be late!
Goodness.
- Hey. - It's okay.
I got it.
Ouch!
It hurts.
The patient is conscious.
Not sure if she's talking about what happened before the incident.
She keeps saying, "He didn't do anything wrong."
"Help him."
She must have been talking about that thief.
Please wait a moment.
Excuse me.
She's smiling.
Sorry.
I'll go ahead.
Don't you want to see her?
You don't have to worry about me.
I'll leave her with you.
Come in.
I fell.
Silly girl! Why are you so careless?
Sorry.
Thank you very much!
It's a good thing you just fell.
By the way, do you know what happened to that guy?
When I was hurt, he was still there.
You're talking about the thief, right?
No, he's not a thief.
He already apologized and we've accepted it.
And we also got the bag back.
I heard that the criminal was caught by the police.
- I have to help him. - Oto.
I think...
Ren went to help him already.
You just have to tell them the truth.
I'll be there with you.
Ren.
It's you two!
This is great!
Thank you very much!
Thank you.
We went to the hospital earlier,
but that lady was already discharged.
I see.
Can you give this to her on my behalf?
I'll tell you how to contact her.
You can give it to her directly.
Okay.
It becomes really humid here if I don't get some air inside.
Do you need anything?
No, I'm fine. Thanks.
All right.
Right. By the way,
you mentioned about this before.
(Takura Industrial Corporation Who would win the fight?)
Oto.
Yes?
I was embarrassed to tell you about this,
but my dad kept asking me to go on blind dates.
Even though this is different from what I said before,
but I can't decide on my own regarding marriage.
We should keep our distance.
- Let's break up. - Sorry.
What?
I'm the reason why you're saying all these lies.
- I'm not lying. - You are.
I'm not lying!
I don't like you anymore.
I've decided already.
You cannot decide.
Love is not something you can decide on.
Because it also comes suddenly, right?
Of course, as someone who made you decide on it,
I don't have a right to say these things.
While you were sleeping,
I read your mom's letter.
Even though I said that I'm fine...
with not being your first choice,
I was wrong.
Because we can't put an order...
for the people we care about.
Sorry to make you worry about me.
I was too reliant on you and blocked all your means of escape.
You can't...
choose me.
I don't...
like you anymore.
Here.
Next time,
let's have a meal together.
The four of us.
Yes?
Yes.
I'm Hayashida Oto.
Why are you dressed like that?
I went for a job interview.
I can't believe you found a job.
It's because I'm good at lying.
And it's easy to fool people.
Last time, somebody here said...
that children cannot lie, right?
Adults don't believe what children say...
so children choose to lie.
I see.
Haruta.
You don't have to lie to me.
Or rather,
regardless if you're lying or telling the truth,
I'll believe you.
Regardless if you've done something bad...
or acting antagonistic on purpose, I'll believe you completely.
This way, you'll tell me how you really feel someday.
What's the matter?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter?
Are you crying?
Konatsu.
Yes?
I...
like you.
From the very first time I met you,
I already like you a lot.
(After one month)
One, two, three... Hey!
You're not my family. Don't interfere.
All right.
By the way,
how's Sugihara?
Don't interfere.
I'm not interfering.
Usually, head injuries have aftereffects.
Did you ask her if she's all right?
Good morning.
The weather is so nice today.
I've decided to work in my wife's family's hotel.
Keep up the good work.
Instead of selling the assets, how about training the next leader?
That will bring us more profit.
Even so, the profit will only be realized after 10 or 20 years.
Yes.
I was thinking ahead to the time when I'll be leading the company.
That's why I made this suggestion.
Find a profitable strategy first before I agree to that.
I'll do another one.
What is this?
This is not mine.
Yes.
I'm going out for a while.
- All right. - Okay.
Sabiki, who made this for you?
Nobody. Stop looking!
That's love.
- So troublesome! Shut up. - Do you have a girlfriend?
- Stop asking me! - Sabiki!
Springtime is here.
I want to see the Sakura.
You're Sugihara's friend.
We met at the hospital before.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
How is Sugihara doing?
She resigned.
She went back to Hokkaido.
Thanks for coming.
I heard that her uncle who took care of her when she was a kid...
passed away recently.
She's been in Hokkaido for about a month already.
It seems that her uncle's wife...
is unable to take care of herself.
So, she decided to go back to Hokkaido.
We had a small farewell party for her yesterday.
How about Ibuki?
I heard that he had a blind date with a rich family's daughter.
What are you doing?
We need to go to the next one.
Okay.
(To Mom)
Dear Mom,
It's been many years since I last wrote to you.
Long time no see, Mom.
I'm already 27 years old.
I'm doing well...
and I even...
live in Tokyo now.
My apartment is in a place called Yukigaya-Otsuka.
There are many slope roads here. The ground floor is a ramen place.
I've been doing nursing work.
And I got an incredible qualification certificate too.
Even if I want to take vacations...
and have pay raises...
and even if I'm having a hard time,
but whenever I hear somebody thank me,
I'm happy that I'm doing this kind of work.
Sometimes, it pays to work hard.
Even if I was only able to save only a little bit of money,
I'm quite contented already.
One, two, three.
When I go to bed at night,
I'll recall all the small things...
that make me happy and it warms my heart.
Every day, I wake up to a new day.
I have...
a lot of good memories.
Standing on the sloping road,
I can see Tokyo's night view.
I like to stand there and imagine...
the lives of people I don't know.
Earlier, below the steel tower,
a girl dropped her scarf.
The guy from the bread store picked it up for her.
- Thank you. - Sorry.
Please be careful.
There's a bus that traverses the city at night,
with its third to the last row...
occupied by a nurse and a moving guy.
- Keep up the good work! - Excuse me.
- Keep up the good work! - Here.
So many people live in this city.
Sometimes, I wonder...
if this world...
is beautiful...
or scary.
I think it's both beautiful and scary intertwined together.
If you don't go and search for it,
you can't discover the beautiful things.
Somebody taught me that.
The view seen by one person...
and the view seen by two...
is very different.
I have a favor to ask you, Mom.
Please keep my love safe...
on my behalf.
Like what you said,
I met someone I love.
I had a very special love.
I want to tell my six-year-old self...
that she will not be all alone someday.
That person will come in a truck and appear in front of you.
The back of the truck...
is stacked full of peach in cans.
If you give him a candy,
he will open the wrapper and eat it.
Once you like someone,
your happiness doubles...
and your sadness is cut into half.
Before that happens,
you have to hang on.
This love...
is a very precious memory for me.
Mom.
Please keep it safe...
on my behalf.
(White Peach)
My beloved Mom.
I'll write to you again.
Goodbye.
Sugihara Oto.
(Sugihara Oto)
Sugihara.
Where are you now?
What's the matter?
I'm in front of your apartment right now.
Where are you?
I'm in Hokkaido.
I just arrived.
Is this really for the best?
I...
I just went back to the starting point.
I just started over again here.
Everything is the same as before.
The roads, bus stations, and family restaurants...
are all the same.
I'm hanging up.
Wait.
What is it?
I haven't...
heard your reply yet.
I will...
go there.
On Monday...
at 6pm.
I'll wait for you at that family restaurant, Sugihara.
(Quest Restaurant)
Have a seat.
Coffee, please.
Okay.
Hi.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Coffee, please.
Are you hungry?
Just one cup of coffee.
Okay.
I looked at the menu earlier.
They have a lot of items, there are desserts too.
Thank you...
for coming here.
It's all right.
I want to give my deepest condolences.
How is your aunt?
Is the condition of her body okay?
She's been having problems with her legs.
So you're the one who's been taking care of her?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
I was shocked...
that you moved so suddenly.
Sorry.
It's all right.
I just...
felt bad looking at the empty room.
Really?
Because you said that you really love that place.
That's a bad place.
It's too humid.
It will grow molds if I don't let some air in daily.
It's far from the train station and it doesn't have an elevator.
You also resigned from your work, right?
Yes, finally.
You've worked so hard before.
I did.
For five years, my salary did not increase even one bit.
That company was so bad.
The farewell party...
Don't talk about Tokyo anymore.
I left...
the things I hate in Tokyo.
I don't want to remember them anymore.
I already forgot about them.
- There are good things too. - None at all.
I never had anything good in Tokyo.
Can I go now?
Eat something.
I'm hungry.
Can't you eat by yourself?
I haven't had a meal with you...
for a long time.
There's no need for that.
We can order something simple.
We'll finish it quickly.
I'll order for two.
The last time we came here,
which burger did we order again?
So...
We can order mashed radish burger...
and veggie meat sauce burger.
We can share it.
I'll ring the bell.
Mashed radish burger and veggie meat sauce burger.
Tomato.
Mashed radish burger and veggie meat sauce burger.
Okay.
Let's share it like the last time.
It's tomato.
What?
The burgers we ordered before are tomato sauce burger...
and mashed radish burger.
Really?
Never mind.
Okay.
I remember it now.
The tomato sauce burger was quite good.
I don't remember it.
Sugihara, you even asked me...
What?
Tokyo's furniture stores are especially big, right?
You have to ask for directions inside.
I didn't ask you that.
You did.
So did you ever get lost inside?
I never got lost there.
So, where did you get lost?
In Roponggi New Castle.
Why are you laughing?
I can't believe you go there too.
After living in Tokyo for six years, you have to go there a few times.
When you go there, will you do this?
I think so.
My seniors in the company told me that you should not...
raise your head when you look at buildings.
If you look at buildings like that,
they'll know that you're from the rural areas.
But when dogs are hungry,
they look at humans like that too.
Are you talking about hungry dogs?
Sasuke does that too.
When Sasuke gets hungry, he'll raise his head and look at us too.
But Sasuke is a native Tokyo dog.
How is Sasuke?
I wanted to give him a bath yesterday,
but he escaped from me.
Sasuke doesn't like to get wet.
He's becoming just like you.
Of course not! He's like you.
No, he does this.
I only make faces at you.
It's not funny at all.
I'll bring...
Sasuke here next time.
He must miss you too.
But...
- it's too far. - We can take the bullet train.
I'll put him inside a carrier like this.
Will he be willing to go inside?
I'll bring him here...
to see you.
You might find it troublesome.
- But I... - No. That's not it.
I'll be really happy.
Of course, I'll be happy.
I'm happy that you've come too.
Well...
Yes?
Aunt told me...
that I should have stayed in Tokyo...
and not come back here.
Yes.
But I can't do that.
I can't leave her all alone here.
Yes.
And...
Ibuki is in Tokyo.
He's a good person.
He treated me well.
So, I cannot go back.
I can only live here.
I understand.
Moving Guy.
Yes.
I like you.
I really like you.
With all my heart.
Please send me Sasuke's picture.
I will hang it on the wall.
I'll look at it before I go to bed at night.
You'll send me the picture, right?
I will.
Thank you.
Then I can go back to the starting point in peace.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This is your mashed radish burger...
and tomato sauce burger.
Please enjoy.
Why did they give us the tomato sauce burger?
We're so lucky!
We are, right?
Let me split it.
Okay.
You didn't go back to the starting point.
- What? - Sugihara.
You didn't go back to the starting point.
The person that I met here before...
and the person that you are right now is completely different.
Even though you've faced hardships too,
but you're not the same person.
Maybe you look the same on the surface,
but you're not who you were before.
As long as...
you've worked really hard to survive,
even if you won't see it on the surface,
it will...
leave a mark...
in your heart,
in the hearts of people you've met...
and in my heart.
Hokkaido is not that far.
I can come here no matter how many times you want.
Because there's a road that leads here...
and I will follow that road to go to you,
regardless if I have to drive...
or take the train here.
We said we'd go to Aizu together.
We haven't done that yet.
I still want to take you to Lake Inawashiro.
I want to let you try the radish from the seeds Grandpa planted.
As long as there's a road...
and as long as our agreement still stands,
and as long as we have a little more luck,
we'll be able to meet again.
We'll be able to meet again.
I...
like you too.
Yes.
Okay.
Let's eat.
It's delicious.
(Quest Restaurant)
It started snowing again.
Yes.
You have some snowflakes on you.
What?
You too.
Really?
Turn right when you go out...
then turn left.
Is it a shortcut?
No, it's the long way around.
