If I had cried and begged you not to go...
Do you think we could've worked things out?
It's too late now.
You're just a memory. A nice memory.
What's that?
A story that your father wrote.
I saw Tamotsu.
Kyoko?
Tamotsu's girlfriend.
She didn't know about our Asunaro Club.
Asunaro Club was so important to me.
That year was the best time of my life.
But it didn't really mean anything to Tamotsu.
It was just another year.

The president is expected back in 30 minutes.
Want to try?
I'm sorry.
But he'll be here for another week.
It looks like Sonoda Narumi's still in love with you.
I doubt it.
What about you?
Are you still in love with her?
What are you saying? It's all in the past.
"Concerning Sonoda Narumi.
She's a child trapped in an adult body.
A person who grew up with a child's heart.
As I watch her, I begin to notice all the things
that I take for granted.
That humans are part of nature, too.
That the sun shines,
and that rain falls from the heavens.
Sonoda Narumi is always herself.
That is her strength.
A natural strength."
I have a favor to ask.
I want to publish Junichiro's book.
He wrote so much.
Could your company publish his book?
I know he wanted to publish his book.
I think that's what he wanted when he died.
Okay.
May I read this?
What do you think?
A book...
I don't know if I can do it,
but I'd like to try.
No.
I won't neglect my duties as your secretary...
Why bother if you're not confident you can do it?
Believe that you can do it.
Bring it up at the meeting on Monday.
Monday?
You can't take your time.
You have to start now.
Thank you, sir.
Really?
I'll do my best.
Here's your coffee.
Thanks, Seika.
You're trying to cheer me up.
No. I've wanted to do this for a long time.
Thanks.
This part is missing.
Tamotsu might have it.
When we divided Junichiro's things,
Tamotsu took a few notebooks with him, too.
I can get them from him tomorrow.
Seika, Osamu,
Tamotsu and me.
We are all friends.
Don't treat Tamotsu and me differently anymore.
Okay.
I'm sorry. It's your day off.
Don't worry about it. Come in.
Are you sure?
What are you worried about?
Where is Kyoko?
She went shopping.
Coffee?
Have a seat.
You two live alone?
What about your mother?
She got married.
That's great!
Or, is it?
It is.
She seems much happier now.
Are you thinking of getting married, too?
No.
You're here for Junichiro's notebooks, right?
He'll be so happy if you can publish his book.
We don't know for sure yet.
But I plan to make it happen.
Good luck.
Let me know if I can help.
Well, I'd better go.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
Did you come to see Tamotsu?
No. I came to get these.
I was right.
I took a home pregnancy test.
Are you pregnant?
What shall we do?
Let's have the baby.
Really?
Of course.
I'm so glad.
I'm so happy.
Let's get married.
Are you sure you want me?
What are you talking about? Let's get married.
I'm thinking of getting married.
You surprised me.
Congratulations.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I have a feeling
you still love Narumi.
Kyoko's pregnant.
My parents never wanted me.
So I don't want my child to feel the same way.
I want my child to have a mother and father.
What's the matter?
Are you sure?
Do you really love Kyoko?
I wouldn't be with her if I didn't love her.
It took me a long time to get over Narumi.
It was hard for me.
But meeting Kyoko again saved me.
I love Kyoko.
I'll tell Narumi.
Are you sure?
I'm telling you to go forward with it.
But, sir...
I know I'm the one who started this,
but I really don't think it'll be very profitable.
We'll be lucky to sell 8,000 copies.
What is it?
He's dead.
He won't ever write another book.
How do you think I established myself?
I just wanted to publish a book I liked.
That's all you need in business.
Besides, I like that book.
I love it.
Thank you.
You don't have time to be standing around.
I'll get right to the point.
Stay away from him.
From Tamotsu.
We're getting married.
I'm having his child.
I don't care if it's ordinary.
I just want a peaceful and happy family.
We may have slept together
on a fling the first time,
and we just happened to meet again and started dating.
But we really care about each other now.
We are just friends now.
He still has pictures of you.
I don't want to lose him.
I love him.
You shouldn't be out in the cold.
It's not good for your baby.
I don't think it was just a fling for Tamotsu.
I think he liked you four years ago.
Don't worry.
I won't see him anymore.
I promise.
But, will you do me one favor?
Please be happy together.
Goodbye.
Osamu is here.
I know.
How?
Kyoko came to see me.
Why?
To be honest, I had some hope
that we could get back together again.
How pitiful.
No, that's just the way it is.
You can deny it,
but you always hope you're right.
That's how it was when I liked you.
But I promised Kyoko I would never see him again.
You're too nice.
If she had to come and see you,
that means Tamotsu still has feelings for you.
Why did you promise her such things?
If you really loved Tamotsu...
How could Tamotsu abandon his own child?
He can't do that.
I got Mr. Ogasawara's manuscripts.
I'll be returning to the office now.
Working?
I have to meet a client.
What about Junichiro's book?
I might just be able to publish his book.
Really? That's great.
He'll be thrilled.
You must've worked hard for it.
Shall we get together again soon?
I hear you're getting married.
Osamu?
Congratulations.
I won't see you anymore.
If we meet by coincidence, just ignore me.
I feel bad...
You're getting married.
I think it would bother Kyoko, too.
I might move to Kyoto.
I'm being transferred.
That's perfect.
We won't have to see each other anymore.
I'm glad we met again.
Why do you say such things?
Why?
I'm trying to forget you.
So why do you say such things?
It's been hard for me since we met again.
No, it's been hard for me all this time.
I missed you so much.
All I did was hope that we'd meet again.
But not you.
You have changed.
You will never be a memory.
You'll always be my lover.
That's why we can't be friends.
This is how I really feel.
That's why I won't see you anymore.
Let go of me, Tamotsu.
Please don't make me suffer anymore.
This is it for us, isn't it?
Goodbye.
Fool! What do you think you're doing!
How could you lose a manuscript?
Go out and find it!
I'm so sorry. I looked all over town.
Someone found it and delivered it here.
I'm so glad!
You have a lot to learn.
Shall we go somewhere?
No, not tonight.
Were you waiting for me?
I'll be drinking at a bar close by. When you feel up to it, meet me there.
I'm home.
She came all the way to deliver Junichiro's notebooks.
Tamotsu had more notebooks.
I took it to your company but they told me you were out.
Thank you so much.
I had a feeling you would want them as soon as possible.
Well, I'd better be going.
So soon?
Bye.
Take care.
Thank you.
She really surprised me.
Why? Why did you let Kyoko in?
She delivered the notebooks for Tamotsu.
I didn't know you were so insensitive!
What did you want me to do?
Tell her to leave?
Did she do something wrong?
You don't have to let her in!
This is my house!
You're right.
We're just freeloaders.
You have to forget Tamotsu.
Do you still love Tamotsu?
You did in prep-school and I dated him in college.
Now he's getting married and you think I deserve it.
This Asunaro Club thing is such a joke!
Stop it, Narumi!
Do you hear what you're saying?
You're acting so strange.
You're not your usual self.
Don't talk badly about the Asunaro Club.
I won't forgive you if you make light
of the days when Junichiro was living.
Look at this.
Where did she go?
I know.
I know when you're happy... when you're sad...
I want to speak to you.
Who sang this song?
What are you doing?
Where's Tamotsu?
He's not here.
What?
Want to sleep with me?
Stop being foolish.
I have something I want to tell you.
Over here.
They all went to a karaoke bar. How about you?
Can I just stay here?
Aren't you drinking too much?
May ask you one thing?
Why do men drink?
It makes one so sad.
Don't get sad here.
Don't worry, I won't try to seduce you.
Get ahold of yourself.
I'm not really drunk.
I'm just pretending to be drunk.
What are you saying?
I'll find a cab.
I don't want to go home.
Sorry, but I'm not interested.
If I said or did anything that might have
given you that idea, I'm terribly sorry.
I'll stop this cab.
I can catch the train.
Please leave me alone.
I'm just pretending to be drunk.
It's a lie.
I'm not pregnant.
Why?
Why did you lie?
