I don't need your sympathy.
Will you stay with me all night long?
What are you thinking about?
I don't want to go home.
We were practically living together.
Why did you break up with him?
His parents found out about me
and he called off our wedding.
I'm an illegitimate child.
It's tragic when a woman has to have a child like that.
I guess a young person like you wouldn't understand.
You shouldn't talk about your mother like that.
Your mother, in her own little way,
loves you with all her heart.
Otherwise she wouldn't have had you in the first place.
Narumi, I...
Can we stay this way for a while?
This?
Don't worry. It was a long time ago.
I think I was 13. On Mother's Day I bought
a carnation for my mother.
When I got home,
she was in bed with some guy.
And she gave me this nasty look.
You want to feel sorry for yourself at that age.
It's a deep scar.
Nobody risks their life just to feel sorry for themselves!

You seem so depressed.
Thanks.
Tamotsu hasn't called?
Osamu...
I never knew that keeping a relationship going
was the most difficult part of dating.
It was easier when I was the only one in love.
Watching from afar...
If it was going to end like this,
I wish it never started in the first place.
Don't say such sad things.
Don't let it end.
You dumped me for him.
You have to keep it going.
You're right.
Do you want tea or coffee?
Coffee.
Sorry about the tuition incident.
No, I shouldn't have behaved the way I did.
Everyone is concerned.
Osamu, Seika...
Narumi, too.
I know it's none of our business...
but I have one more thing.
My company will pay for your college education.
But on one condition.
You'll work for my company when you graduate.
You're a good student. You'll be an asset to my company.
Let me think about it.
Sure. Take all the time you need.
Tamotsu...
College without you is just as lonesome
as a black and white photo.
A sunset without you is so sad that sometimes
I feel as though I'm all alone in this world.
You said people are alone even when they are in love.
But I thought people are not alone when they are in love.
And I still feel that way.
To be in love, the feeling of love is
the only thing that can save a person from solitude.
I wanted us to understand each other.
I wanted to understand you.
Even trough our troubles, even if we got hurt in the end,
I didn't want you to turn away from me.
I wanted you to stay by my side.
I didn't want you to take your eyes off of me.
Even if we couldn't understand each other right away
with time and communication,
we could come to understand one another.
No matter how we fight
or hurt each other,
if we love each other,
we can get through it.
That's how I feel.
Tamotsu,
I miss you.
I was in the neighborhood. I bought you something.
Tamotsu,
what are you planning to do now?
I'll think of something. What about you?
No changes, just the usual.
Any new lovers?
Are you kidding?
I can't believe men can stay away from a girl like me.
You were always popular.
But you never show any interest.
Everyone thought you were too good for us.
Really?
You're beautiful and very intelligent.
My intelligence may be reflected in my GPA.
But I wish someone would have told me I was beautiful.
You always said so yourself.
That's because no one else would.
I have no sex appeal.
I like that about you.
That's why you get along so well with men and women.
I don't want any more friends.
I want love.
I know.
I think Junichiro likes you, too.
It's not like that.
I love...
What is it?
Nothing.
I'm home.
I'm hungry. Did you eat dinner?
That's what you had for dinner?
Are you feeling okay?
I'm going to bed.
You haven't been eating lately!
I'm leaving your mail right here.
This is just junk mail.
We always go to this sale together.
We've known each other for some time now.
But we've never walked together like this.
Really?
Why don't you take the entrance exam again?
I know you can get into Tokyo University.
I've thought about it.
I'll let you know.
We're friends, right?
I'll be okay by myself.
What is it?
Has Narumi being going to class?
So, you're concerned?
Yes, but she hasn't been very cheerful.
She doesn't eat much these days.
And she doesn't laugh as much.
Bye.
Sukiyaki party?
My family sent me some great Kobe beef!
So, let's have a party at your place?
My place?
Sounds good.
You, too, Narumi.
I'm inviting Tamotsu, too.
This Saturday.
Can you give this to him?
Him?
Your friend at the record store.
Why do you have his watch?
Don't ask questions. We're all adults.
Is this how long I should cut these onions?
Buy a knife, at least!
Stop complaining. This is my place.
Wipe that table.
Could it be Tamotsu?
I cut my foot.
I've heard of people cutting their fingers.
But how did you cut your foot?
I'll bring a bandaid.
This is a package for your neighbor.
What is it?
Could it be Tamotsu this time?
Why look at me?
Here's something for all of you.
Long time no see.
I'll do it myself. Thanks.
Tamotsu...
What happened?
I cut my foot.
I'm okay.
Let me see that.
Let's go over there.
What is it?
Let's leave them alone.
It's a small cut.
My hand just... Sorry.
I read your letter.
What letter?
I have to cut onions.
I missed you.
Me, too.
Cheers!
It's ready!
You're so easy to figure out.
All the clouds have been cleared away.
Where is the shirataki?
I forgot.
What's sukiyaki without the shirataki?
I'll go buy some.
Sorry.
Shall I go with you?
No. I'll go by myself.
Well, it's nice that we can get together like this again.
And Narumi and Tamotsu have made up, too.
Sorry to cause you all to worry.
I can't take this.
What?
This friendship thing.
You're all so easy on Tamotsu.
What is it?
Can I ask you one thing?
Stop. Narumi would be back soon.
She won't be back yet.
That woman asked me to return it to you.
What did she means, "we are all adults?"
Did you sleep with her?
It's none of your business.
It is my business.
You always try to run from trouble.
You get everyone involved and then run away
at the most crucial times.
What did you say?
Narumi's too good for you.
And she's not too good for you?
Stop it, you two!
Why don't you just give up already?
You're pitiful.
You're always the troublemaker.
You've always been that way.
Your mom even tried to take money from us.
What are you doing?
That has nothing to do with this.
What is it with you guys?
That was fast.
This is really stupid.
I forgot my wallet.
It wasn't very funny, I guess.
I can't believe this.
They just got all excited.
It happens all the time.
For some stupid reason, about how to make sukiyaki.
Did you really?
Did you really sleep with her?
Answer me, Tamotsu.
I did.
You're so stupid.
Even if you did, you're supposed to deny it.
That's what the magazines say.
It's cracked.
Don't touch me!
I'll go buy some shirataki.
Go after her, Tamotsu!
You'll regret it if you don't go after her now!
No matter what I say, they'll all be excuses.
Osamu?
How did you know it was me?
I didn't know.
I was just hoping it was you.
Not Tamotsu?
I wouldn't know what to say to him.
I don't know what's going to happen.
He was just having fun.
He just slept with her...
She tried to seduce me, too.
Why?
I can't seem to find any tears.
I finally got to see him...
and now this.
But I'm not crying.
Where are you going?
To buy shirataki.
I don't think anyone will eat the sukiyaki.
You don't have to go back there.
Tamotsu, you're an idiot!
Is there something I could do?
You slept with some stranger.
You shouldn't do that to yourself.
I'm worried about you.
I like you.
It's strange to hear that from you.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
About working for your company,
I think I'd better not.
I want to try to make it on my own.
I see.
Thanks for the offer.
"This is the Sonoda residence.
Please leave a message."
Hello. This is Tamotsu.
I'm sorry, Narumi.
I'm sorry for betraying you.
But you're the only one I really love.
I want to see you and speak to you.
Hello?
You were home?
We have nothing to talk about.
You took the easy way out.
You eased your own pain.
But just your pain.
Even when we were apart, I thought only of you.
If you had been thinking about me, even a little,
you wouldn't have done what you did.
Goodbye.
I said goodbye.
Please hang up.
I understand.
I'm home.
It's Tamotsu.
Sorry to drop in so suddenly.
Tell him I don't want to see him.
I don't want to see him.
I'm sorry. She says she doesn't want to see you.
He's still here.
What are you going to do?
I don't care.
I can't forgive him.
Please leave.
She told me what happened.
As her sister, I can't let you see her.
I know I'm causing you trouble,
but I'm not leaving till Narumi agrees to see me.
I'll give her your message.
Okay. I'll make her call you later.
Please leave.
I loved this watch.
It's so big and manly.
I often admired your fingers
when you took off your watch.
Your big hands...
they were so warm.
I loved you.
So, why?
I met a woman with a scar on her wrist.
She reminded me of who I was long ago.
The scare almost seemed like it was my own.
So I slept with her.
I don't like her and I don't love her.
But I slept with her.
I regret doing what I did.
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
I've always given up so easily.
Nothing was worth holding onto.
Letting go of everything so easy, made things simple.
That was my trick to survive in this world.
But I can't give it up. I just can't.
I love you.
I don't want to let you go.
It's okay.
I understand.
I love you, too.
And I don't want to leave you.
If you'll be by my side,
that's all I need.
But...
Tamotsu? You're home late.
We...
No...
Things were never the same for me...
after that incident.
I couldn't...
I'm going to try to go back to college again.
Good luck.
I couldn't love him wholeheartedly
as I did before.
Thanks.
Even when he was nice to me,
even when we were together,
I was lonely.
I want to see you.
I was scared.
What time do you think it is?
You're right. I'm sorry.
But, I still loved him.
I still loved him.
Good luck, Tamotsu.
I'll see you both later. Bye.
Thanks.
Why?
Why did you come with Seika?
She helped me find some study guides.
Why do you look so mean?
Let's go.
I haven't been able to relax ever since.
When I'm not with you, I'm worried
you might be with another women.
Knock it off!
I call you every day and report
all my activities to you!
Now you're jealous of Seika!
You don't have to talk like that!
There's something inside me.
I'm overwhelmed by these feelings
and I can't do anything about it.
And I'm so scared.
The more I love you the more I become an unlikable person.
You'll hate me.
I'll never hate you.
I ask where you are all the time
and I'm jealous of Seika. I can't go on like this!
It's not fun anymore.
It's just painful.
You don't trust me anymore?
I want to trust you.
But it's painful.
Please help me, Tamotsu.
Why?
Why did you do it?
Maybe we should break up.
