I better leave.
Please don't go.
Stay here with me.
I'm going to date Osamu.
I have decided.
I see.
"I hope Tamotsu comes on Christmas Eve. Narumi."
Don't worry. I'm sure they found each other.
I'll be okay by myself.
Bye.
About last night... I don't know what came over me.
Don't worry about it.
We're still friends.
We just happened to get physically intimate.
You saved me.
You must be cold.
Bye.

Osamu?
You're dating Osamu?
Does Tamotsu know about this?
I told him. Don't be so surprised.
But why?
I was with Osamu on Christmas Eve.
I finally found a place where I belong.
It's over between Tamotsu and me.
I have a lecture to attend.
Do you love Osamu?
I feel at ease with him.
I asked you if you loved him.
Love is so hard to understand.
It goes all over the place.
Sometimes you see it and sometimes you don't.
I'm tired of all of that.
I don't want a love that makes me unhappy.
Osamu really loves me.
I know that!
I can see that by the way Osamu treats you!
Sorry.
But why?
Is it because Tamotsu won't love you
but Osamu will?
Even if you don't love Osamu you'll date him
because he loves you? Is that it?
I can't understand that!
It's okay.
I don't care if that's the case.
I won't rush you.
I just want you to learn to love me.
Narumi gave me a letter.
Let's forget about that.
No.
If she's with Osamu...
It's my fault. If I had given you the letter,
you would've gone to see her that night.
Narumi chose to be with Osamu.
It was her decision.
I told you it was over between Narumi and I.
Even if you'd given me the letter, I wouldn't have gone.
So don't tell Narumi about the letter.
I received the letter from you but I chose not to go.
That's what happened, okay?
Aren't you going to ask me why I didn't give you the letter?
Aren't you going to blame me?
Can I be selfish just this one time?
I want us to be always friends.
I don't have many friends, you know?
I know our families live in separate worlds.
I trust you, and I can tell you anything.
You're the only one I can do that with.
I don't think I'll ever find another friend like you.
Please, always be my friend.
Thanks.
So don't mention the letter anymore.
What's this?
That's nutmeg. It's a little sweet, though.
Want something to drink?
I'd better leave.
Doesn't your sister live in Kamakura?
I have to get up early tomorrow.
Then you can stay here.
I have to change clothes.
He came to return his library books.
Hello.
Sit down.
I'm meeting someone here.
Osamu?
Why don't you have a seat?
Would we be in their way?
No. It's been a while since we saw you.
We can all have tea together.
I'd better go.
What are you doing here?
I used to go to school here, you know.
He came to return his library books.
Coffee for me.
Me, too.
Cafe au lait for you, Narumi?
How's the studying going?
It's okay.
I hear you want to get into Tokyo University.
Private colleges are too expensive.
You're smart. I know you'll get in.
Two sugars, right?
She likes it sweet.
You seem to be getting along well.
We're usually together.
Since my place is so close to school and...
Who cares?
It's been a while since we all got together.
Let's not talk about us.
I want to let our friends know.
It seemed like you were pushing the point.
Don't worry.
What do you mean?
I don't have special feelings for Narumi anymore.
It's over between us.
I don't want this to make you all feel uneasy.
Right?
Of course.
What's wrong?
I left my umbrella in class. I'll go get it.
Tamotsu is just trying to act tough.
Why did I sleep with Osamu?
I should've waited for Tamotsu.
Then maybe we would've gotten back together.
It's over.
That's it.
That's it for my whining.
Please keep what you just heard to yourself.
I've decided. I'm going to date Osamu.
I'll never say these things again,
and I won't feel this way anymore.
You've ruined your makeup.
You want to look good
in front of your ex-boyfriend.
I'm going ahead.
Goodbye, Tamotsu.
I'll go buy a magazine.
Seika, your lipstick was too bright for me.
And the man I loved casually waved goodbye to me.
Movie of amusement park?
It's up to you.
Let's see a movie.
I want to see a tearjerker.
Don't cry.
Can I use your notebook?
What's this?
I'll be fine by myself.
Call me when you get home.
People are watching.
Bye.
You can use this to study the main points.
This is your final week before the exam.
Thank you.
I have nothing better to do.
I wish I could use this during the exam.
Do you want some coffee?
Cream or sugar?
Is this what she left on the Asunaro tree?
You've kept it?
Just be honest...
You said you could tell me anything.
Tell me the truth.
That was Narumi's wish.
Her wish that was never granted.
I want to cherish her wish.
What does that mean?
I didn't know she was waiting for me.
Just as she had waited for me that night
I want to hold on to her wish just now.
It's not just her wish.
It was your wish, too.
Stop trying to look so good!
You still love Narumi!
I do.
I still love her.
When I found out she'd spent the night with Osamu
it felt like someone tore my heart into pieces.
It still feels that way.
It's my fault.
It's my fault for not giving you the letter.
Why won't you blame me?
Why won't you get angry with me?
I can't reciprocate your love for me.
I'm sorry.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
It's only natural that you don't feel the same way.
The person you love doesn't always love you back.
The kindness you show is like a dull knife.
It keeps cutting me over and over again.
Do you like yourself?
I don't like myself.
That's why I feel so grateful
when someone tells me they like me.
I try to respond to those feelings.
If I can't... then I'd at least like to make them happy.
I can't get angry with you or hit you.
But you still love Narumi.
Why don't you tell me what you're really feeling?
Get angry with me.
It'll make me feel better.
Hit me.
Narumi won't come back to me even
if I were to hit you.
It's too late.
Sonoda residence. We're not in...
Osamu?
Is Narumi with you?
Yeah. She's here.
It's Junichiro.
Hello.
Narumi, I...
What is it?
No, it's nothing.
What did he want?
He hang up.
He just got his car phone. He just wanted to make a call.
Let's watch the rest.
How is he?
I'm Dr. Kuratari.
He has extensive internal injuries
and has lost a significant amount of blood.
Will he... Will he survive?
If the operation is a success.
What do you mean by "if"?
We're sorry.
Let's go sit down.
Are you an acquaintance of the patient?
Yes.
These are the items found in his clothing.
Thank you.
And this. He was holding this in his hand.
"I have to see you once more, Tamotsu. Narumi."
Junichiro...
We're in a hurry.
How is he?
The operation was a success.
He just woke up.
Really?
I'll go inform his parents and the doctor.
I'll stay here with him.
I'm sorry, Tamotsu.
About Narumi's letter...
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry, Tamotsu.
About Narumi's letter...
I'm really sorry.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
My letter...
Junichiro kept bugging me to get his underwear.
No... I'll take it to him.
It's nothing.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
You're in love with me, aren't you?
I asked you to tell me if I'm wrong, not laugh at me.
It's just that you brought this up so suddenly.
I guess I was just mistaken.
Don't worry about me.
I don't want to burden you.
If I were to fall in love with a woman, it would be you.
Sorry.
Can I hold your hand?
It's so warm.
I'm so glad.
I don't know what I would've done
if your hands stayed cold, like that night.
If you had just died...
What would I have done?
What is it?
"I'll be waiting for you at 7 on Christmas Eve."
"To Tamotsu. Narumi."
This is what I wanted to talk about.
Junichiro forgot to give this to you.
That's why you didn't come at 7.
If you had read the letter, would you have come?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Answer me.
If you had read the letter, would you have come?
No.
The day Junichiro got into that accident...
Narumi got a call from him.
Junichiro was worried about this letter.
I've been thinking... after what's happened...
No matter who dates who...
No matter who loves who...
We should just be thankful that the one we love
is alive and well.
That's what love should be all about.
I don't understand it myself, but...
You can't relive that Christmas Eve.
But you can get someone's feelings back.
It's a beautiful day.
It sure is.
I've left his morning medication over there.
Thank you.
Tamotsu is taking his exam today.
Don't worry. He'll pass.
Remember I called you that night?
I didn't give Tamotsu your letter.
That's why he didn't go on Christmas Eve.
If he had gotten the letter, he would've gone.
Why didn't you give it to him?
I'm in love with Tamotsu.
I love Tamotsu in the same way you love him.
This must all be very surprising to you.
I'm sorry.
Men usually fall in love with women.
I was jealous.
I'm sorry.
How could you?
I'm really sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm a little upset.
But I like you.
And I always want to be friends with you...
So I forgive you.
But I have one thing to say.
You're not responsible
for what happened between Osamu and I.
It was my decision.
I made a decision that day. At that moment,
Osamu was so precious to me.
I don't regret it.
And it wasn't your fault that Tamotsu and I broke up.
We made that decision.
If we really loved each other
and we really wanted to make things work,
we would have gotten through anything.
You're so strong.
I didn't think you were so strong.
I don't want to blame others
for what happens in my own life.
That was quite a speech.
Now I'm thirsty.
I'll go buy something. What would you like?
Orange juice.
Now I can finally sleep peacefully.
This whole thing's been bothering me for some time.
I'll be right back.
It's time for your medication.
You have to take your medication.
