Number 777. Sonoda Narumi.
Will you be my girlfriend?
I love you.
Call me.
You're wearing me out.
It's too late now.
You're just a memory. A nice memory.
Osamu.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, Tamotsu.
I'm not pregnant.

Good morning.
When did you get home?
I'm sorry! I was wrong yesterday.
I was wrong, too. Maybe just a little bit.
Your president called last night.
He wanted to know if you came home.
Were you with him?
Good morning.
Why did you lie to me?
I knew you wouldn't break up with me
if I told you I was pregnant.
That's why I lied.
I really wished that I was pregnant.
It's my dream.
I was afraid.
Afraid that you would tell me
you didn't love me.
I didn't want to be alone.
But I guess I was just imagining things.
I found this application for marriage in your pocket.
You really wanted to marry me.
I'm in a hurry.
I'll turn this in.
Can you look at this, sir?
Did you get home safely last night?
Sorry to worry you. I hear you called.
I went home.
Good.
"I need some time to myself. Kyoko."
Shouldn't you break up with Kyoko?
She isn't pregnant.
I won't break up.
Why?
You love Narumi, don't you?
Narumi will be okay by herself,
but Kyoko won't.
Let's go.
We're going for a walk.
That feels great! You try it, too!
Doesn't that feel great?
You're acting strange lately.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I don't want to go home.
Don't worry about it.
I met my ex-boyfriend.
From college?
But he was living with his new girlfriend.
But I feel better now.
That's good. Let's keep going!
That's...
This is Tamotsu's pencil.
Are you meeting Tamotsu here?
Sorry we're late.
Please take care of Sora.
Do you have a Machida Kyoko staying there?
I see. Thank you.
Thank you.
What's wrong? You looked so serious.
You remember me?
You're my daddy's friend.
Aren't you meeting Kyoko?
I just saw her.
You did?
Where?
At the park.
Sorry.
Where have you been? I was worried.
Let's talk it over.
You see yourself in me. That's why you dated me.
We're both illegitimate children,
and we can't help but help the weak.
But you always loved...
Sonoda Narumi.
I loved you.
Past tense.
This...
I couldn't turn it in.
Bye.
Don't go. Stay here.
Why?
I've made my decision.
Let's stay together.
Do you love me?
Do you love me more than Narumi?
You're so honest.
What are you doing?
I didn't want your decision.
I wanted your heart.
I wanted you to love me.
With all your heart.
Here's to Tamotsu and his transfer to Kyoto.
Cheers!
Where is Narumi?
She's busy with work.
You're leaving at the end of the month?
When are you getting married?
After you move away?
We broke up.
Wasn't she pregnant?
She wasn't pregnant.
That's life.
Let's drink.
You're still here?
I wanted to finish this up.
You work hard.
In college...
we were so understanding,
so kind...
I couldn't understand why Osamu let Narumi go
when he loved her so much.
I couldn't understand why you didn't take Narumi
away from Osamu when you loved her, too.
I didn't want to break up the Asunaro Club.
I didn't have the courage to hurt anyone.
We were always considering the feelings of others.
That's why we were almost suffocating.
And we went our separate ways.
What was the Asunaro Club?
We never saw each other for four years.
Friends in the Asunaro Club...
what was it that we were
so desperately trying to protect?
We were suffocating.
And we went our separate ways for four years.
But I still love the Asunaro Club.
Playing fireworks,
falling in love,
falling out of love...
Arguing once in awhile,
sharing our dreams...
We're getting older.
We may have another great year,
but those days will never return.
Narumi was saying,
those days were the brightest days of her life.
That's why we wanted to protect the Asunaro Club.
Maybe you're right.
That was our youth.
You were awake?
Youth...
doesn't last forever.
But we don't have to put an end to it ourselves.
Was that corny?
A little.
Let's drink.
Give me a hand.
Bye.
Narumi was my youth.
She was everything to me at the time.
But that's all in the past.
Those days are over.
But it's not over for you.
Narumi is not the past for you.
You have to go
where you left Narumi four years ago
and get her back.
Get back together with her.
It's coming out.
Why do you only take underwater photos?
Why don't you photograph people?
I don't know.
Maybe it makes me feel safe.
I'm a loner.
Can I fall in love with you?
Don't use the wrong words.
We're in the business of publishing words.
Don't say things that you don't mean.
I do mean it.
Stop!
Ouch...
See?
You don't love me.
You're lonely,
and you want me to be kind to you.
I don't know much, but,
after living 42 years,
I know that there aren't many things in life
that are worth caring about.
So don't walk away from something you find precious.
Hello.
It's your day off and you're at the home.
It's none of your business.
Wait.
Want to come out?
Mr. Toride.
Mr. Toride Osamu, a phone call for you.
We're home.
Osamu. I'm running a little late.
It's me.
Tamotsu?
Where is Osamu?
He's not here.
He's such a child.
I'm not going.
Wait.
Where are you?
At home.
I'll be waiting.
I want to see you.
Let's talk.
Talk?
About these four years. Our years in college.
Or we can talk about our jobs.
I want to talk to you.
I'm not going.
I'll be waiting. Till you come.
Sorry.
Tamotsu broke up with Kyoko.
She wasn't pregnant.
It's none of my business.
It didn't seem that way.
He said I was just a memory.
Even if they broke up, they made the decision
to be together at one time.
I can't go to see him.
Tamotsu is being transferred back to Kyoto.
He's leaving in a week.
If you part like this again,
you may never see him again.
Go!
Just go, Narumi.
Go, Narumi.
Go, Naru.
You copy everything.
I like him.
Why?
He covered me with my blanket.
And he promised me that we would go see
my daddy in the sky when I grow up.
They couldn't contact you at work, or at home.
So she called me, and I called Osamu.
Thanks.
You're up, aren't you?
You didn't have to come.
I hear you just fainted.
But it scared me.
Are you getting along with your husband?
I'm moving back to Kyoto.
Want to come with me?
I'm working. I'll take care of you.
I couldn't depend on you!
I'm just relieved that you're okay.
I won't let you off the hook so easily.
How are you doing?
I'm getting used to my new apartment.
I'll be stronger.
I'll always be my true self, like Narumi.
She was born that way.
She cries when she's sad, smiles when she's happy.
That's what made her so attractive.
No, no one is born strong.
She does her best to be strong.
She tries to stand firm, and not get washed away.
She tries to be herself at all times.
I like the way she lives her life.
You and Narumi are alike.
You're both kind and honest.
It sounds so simple.
I think it's wonderful.
I'll be going now.
You were watching.
Your smell...
I'll always remember it.
I'm sorry.
I'm used to waiting for you.
I was at the hospital.
My mom collapsed.
Is she okay?
You have lipstick on your sweater.
Other side.
I talked to Kyoko.
And how did you get lipstick on your sweater?
I held her before we parted.
I am leaving.
Wait! Hear me out!
Why should I?
After you held her, and kissed her?
We dated for a year. I loved her.
I don't want to hear this.
What about you?
I saw you with an older guy.
Don't act so innocent.
I'm not that easy!
Neither am I!
Because you lived with Kyoko, I...
You what?
Don't blame me!
Who do you think is responsible for all my pain?
When I dated you... After I broke up with you,
I've always been in pain.
You talk like you are the only victim!
I suffered, too!
Why? Why that time...
That time?
What?
Say it.
Say it, Tamotsu.
Why did you sleep with Osamu?
I was hurt, too.
We can't work things out.
We can't work this out.
You have to grow up.
Grow up?
You're wearing yourself out.
Tamotsu lived with Kyoko for a year.
He couldn't just turn his back on her suddenly.
Truly loving someone...
means you love their weaknesses,
their past,
and their feelings.
Everything.
I know it's more complicated than that.
Tamotsu got angry about Osamu and me.
For the first time.
It made me happy.
You wanted him to get angry 4 years ago.
Maybe.
A poke myself again.
I guess being a mother doesn't make me better at this.
Why don't you make up with Tamotsu?
That's okay.
He'll be leaving for Kyoto after Christmas.
It would be meaningless.
I'll stay here.
I'll stay here with you and Sora.
What would Sora do without me?
But you can't...
You should be happy with the one you love.
You should be married one day.
And you'll leave one day.
Since Sora was born,
for four years...
Thanks for helping me raise him.
Really. That's more than enough.
Tamotsu is leaving for Kyoto tomorrow.
I know.
Are you okay with that?
Go with him.
I gave up on Tamotsu.
I'm afraid
that we'll end up hurting each other again.
How do you know that?
You won't know till you try.
I can't go to Kyoto.
Why?
I can't leave Seika.
She's raising Sora all by herself.
Don't blame it on someone else.
Is that really what Seika would want?
We'd only make the same mistakes as four years ago.
Just four friends in the Asunaro Club.
You love Tamotsu, don't you?
It has to be Tamotsu for you, right?
I'm tired.
I run and I fall.
I'm just so tired.
It's okay.
I may get married one day.
I don't want to hear that.
You've turned into a boring woman.
You've always overrated me.
You weren't like this in college.
That's why I fell in love with you.
I miss that Narumi.
I gave you up because it was Tamotsu.
You loved Tamotsu.
That's why I set you free.
Where's the owner?
He left earlier.
He's leaving tomorrow, isn't he?
He said he's leaving one day early.
"Without you here,
school is as lonely as a black and white photo.
A sunset without you makes me feel
like I'm the only one who exists in this world.
It makes me feel helpless.
You said that people were alone even when they're in love,
but I don't think so.
I still don't think so.
I think love is the only thing
that can save a person from loneliness.
I want to understand you."
Take care, Sora.
Can't you wait a little longer?
No, I don't have time.
Are you sure it's okay?
It just wasn't meant to be.
Take care.
You, too.
Please see Narumi once more.
I don't want Junichiro's death to be a waste.
He wanted you two to be together.
"Even if we hurt each other,
I wanted you to face me.
I wanted you to be with me.
Even if we fight,
even if we have disagreements,
if we love each other,
we can get through this.
That's what I believe.
If we love each other,
we can get through this.
That's what I believe."
I miss you, Tamotsu.
I miss you.
Where can I find Sonoda Narumi?
She's left for the day.
Is Narumi home yet?
No. Where can she be.
Promise me you'll see her once more.
You have to go
where you left Narumi four years ago
and get her back.
I'm sorry.
Tamotsu, I...
I've always loved you.
I couldn't forget you.
My hair grew,
and my lipstick changed,
we went our separate ways,
but my feelings never changed.
I was at the same place
I was four years ago.
It was frustrating and painful, and I...
I tried to forget you.
But I couldn't.
I love you so much.
I knew I shouldn't run from these feelings.
I love you.
Let's start all over.
We'll start all over right here and right now.
It's beautiful.
Pretty good, don't you think?
You're good.
This in Junichiro's book?
He must be happy, too.
Where is Tamotsu?
He hasn't arrived yet.
He's coming from Kyoto.
You're late.
You, too!
This...
I bought it on my way here. It was just so pretty.
It's beautiful.
It's real, right?
You bought that on your way here?
Hush!
I wanted to give it to you in front of everyone.
Thank you.
So much happened here.
I'm sure the students here now
are going through a lot, too.
You're right.
Have you forgotten already?
The images,
the smell of the breezes,
the warmth of the sunlight.
Will we one day forget everything?
The anger, the pain,
the fear, the tears?
Will all these memories
be forgotten one day?
Will we have nothing left to remember?
But I was there.
You are the heroine of your life.
The story of your life goes on.
We will continue living.
