Kicking open the doors.

My glass slippers were shattered.

I want you to find me right now and hold me tight.

The headlights shine.

Where are you, bad boy?

ai no sukaafu de namida o fuite

Wiping my tears on the scarf of love.

nanimo mienai

I can't see anything.

Parental consent?

I can't join without it.

Of course you can't. You're a minor.

Did you tell her how you left home and about school?

I couldn't.

I said, I'd call her again and ran away.

Well, how about I pretend to be Carrie's mother?

No!

Hard sell.

Oh, really?

If you're serious about being a model, go home.

Tokumori

Arashi!

With that goal...

...won't your parents at least take you a little seriously?

Caroline...

Yes, Carrie.

Why don't you try talking to your mother again?

I know what the right answer is too.

I'll think about it.

But if I go home now, things with George would...

George never showed. And he's not picking up.

Poor Caroline. She must want to talk to George most of all.

What I'm worried about is getting ready for the show.

Stay over, and let's work together.

Hell, no.

You're still mad?

Of course.

And you talked to me this morning like nothing happened.

But nothing did happen.

I ran into Hiro-kun by chance and just talked a bit.

So why are you so mad?

Because you played dumb. It makes me think things.

I thought you'd get mad if I told you.

But you got mad when I didn't.

You would've gotten mad either way.

Why won't you trust me more?

Why?

Hey, don't cry.

It's not that I don't trust you.

So come on, don't cry.

Then stay over...

No way.

How about my place?

Though we're together more, I can't understand George's thinking...

...and I feel insecure somehow.

So if I go back, and I couldn't see George anymore...

...I felt everything would end there.

When this dress is finished and the show over, will he need me?

There, done!

The beads on the sleeves are finished!

Oh, you're home.

Then get the door. I rang the doorbell.

So that was you.

But you have the key.

I wanted you to meet me at the door.

I have something important to say.

Is it more important than what we're about to do?

I know what I have to do now.

But I feel insecure unless we're entwined like this.

At a Shibuya intersection in the afternoon...

Just like licking the wet asphalt...

I'll comfort... I'll comfort you...

Your cell's ringing.

Who's calling so late at night?

What a pain.

It's blocked.

George? Hand it over.

I'll give him an earful.

Hey, George? You...

Sorry to call so late.

Your mom's at our place now, and I heard...

You're back at your apartment?

Yeah.

Who is it? Is it George?

Miwako's there?

Get me on the beat that'll lead to a bed...

Hayasaka...

I don't know.

Could I talk to Miwako?

In your car, let's go have fun.

Hiroyuki.

Hiro-kun...

Sorry for disturbing you.

I called Hayasaka a few times to discuss something...

...but I can't get through at all.

Has something happened?

I was with her a while ago, but she was the same.

The studio's underground, so signals are weak.

What's wrong?

Well, I want to see her and talk to her.

Where is she now?

Caroline's living happily with George.

Hey, Hiroyuki, what are you doing?

A model student like you can't understand Yukari's problems!

She's working hard in her own way!

Don't snitch to her parents or teachers!

What the hell kind of time is this to call someone?

What did you want to say?

You said you had something important to say before.

The sleeve beads are done. The other parts are almost there...

...so we can move on tomorrow.

I see.

So where'd you wander off to?

Wife #2.

Oh, you...

Be happy. You're wife #1 for now.

Yeah, yeah.

So shall we start on the lace?

Should we gather it?

We won't have enough.

If we split up the parts, we'll be done in no time.

Pretty lace.

Fabulous, isn't it?

It's dead stock from Europe, one of a kind.

Imports are impressive. Super pretty color.

George dyed the color.

Wow...

That's George for you, right?

Yukari, would you go on home without me?

What? Why?

The embroidering is done, so you have nothing to do here.

But I can help.

You're a dense woman.

You're in the way here.

Wait, Caroline!

It's done charging.

Here.

Right, thanks.

I'm glad we have the same one.

I'd better get back fast. George is real cranky today.

What's with him?

He was cheerful till this morning.

Note: 1 Call 1 Message

Oh, from Miwako-chan?

You have one new message.

Hello, it's Tokumori. Give me a call.

My number is...

Hayasaka? Where are you?

Could I see you now?

Then that cafe we were at.

Be there in 15 minutes, yeah.

Sorry to make you wait.

It's 5:35!

Huh? What?

I didn't wait at all.

Still, you seriously came right on time.

Don't laugh.

I've been worried to death.

Welcome.

Coffee.

Yes, sir.

Miwako told me why you left home.

So have you found a job?

It's hard finding one.

You mentioned a chance...

Oh, actually, I'm hoping to be a pro model.

Well, you are pretty...

So I'm looking for an agency now.

And living with your boyfriend?

He has nothing to say?

But I decided all this of my own will...

Right, but if he said it's better to go back home and to school...

...you wouldn't be in such a predicament.

That's irrelevant.

Because it's what I decided.

I don't want anyone directing me.

This is strange.

Why are you being so stubborn?

No one has complete confidence in their decisions.

So one seeks other opinions, living in uncertainty and angst.

But George doesn't like ordinary girls like that.

More so, if it's from one you love.

Does your boyfriend really care?

Could it be things aren't going well?

It's going well.

I'm really happy right now.

I see...

It's hard to believe with you crying like that...

I don't care.

Whether he cares doesn't matter!

I'm with him because I want to be.

That worries me more.

Shut up! Leave me alone!

Thanks for waiting.

Our homeroom teacher said he'll visit soon to see how you're doing.

You're excused due to illness, but it'll be bad if he finds this out.

It was your mother who reported you sick.

I don't know your thoughts, but you'll be expelled at this rate.

Are you fine with that?

That's what I wanted to tell you.

Sorry for the uncalled-for remarks.

Tokumori-kun!

Really, thanks for everything.

But I'm fine, so don't worry.

At least let me worry about you.

We're classmates, aren't we?

Hurry up and leave that worthless guy.

How do I live on my own at my age?

Kozue, I'll improve and work hard, so let me join your agency!

Sorry, but I don't need any old maids.

Old maid?

Hey, junior's home.

Welcome back!

Yukari-chan!

Ms. Shimamoto is wife #2?

What is it, Kozue?

No, her! Wife #2...

She's Hayasaka Yukari-chan, the one who'll be joining my agency soon.

Oh, Ms. Brunette-with-long-legs.

Looks like she's junior's girl.

Wow!

She's less sexy than the other ones.

Come on, say hello.

She's Jouji's mother.

Lies!

Why?

She's so young!

Thank you!

Say... Yukari-chan, was it?

I can't reach Jouji. Know where he is?

At the studio preparing for the festival, so he'll likely be late.

Another time.

Yeah...

Oh, when can I meet your parents?

Well, actually, my father works abroad, and...

I can just talk to your mother.

You want to work soon, right?

Yes.

Well, I'll be going.

See you!

No, just the two of us?

It looks like Kozue's busy lately.

She won't hang out much.

Y-Yes.

Adults are so boring.

Have you known her for long?

I guess. We were in the same agency as teens.

Still modeling?

I got pregnant at 21 and quit.

He had a wife and kids too...

She's pretty drunk.

Women are held down.

I wish I hadn't had that man's child.

How could she...

You should be careful too.

George considers those things.

Oh, that's surprising.

Surprising? He's serious and dependable!

You're his mother, and you don't even know that?

I don't know anything about that kid.

You're amazing, Yukari-chan.

My guy spent half the week here, but gradually came less often...

...and he said I exhaust him.

Horrible, right?

I bet she just complains these days.

Jouji asked him to rent another room and moved out.

Who does he owe this high life to?

It's because I sacrificed my life, right?

Then why not break up with him and start over?

Everyone says that,

but I don't have the courage to give up this life.

Then be a little grateful.

Also, was having a child and quitting modeling all his fault?

Where was your will?

You're so strong, Yukari-chan.

Much more mature than me.

More wine?

No, thank you. Excuse me.

Yukari-chan, the door's there!

I understand George a little.

He doesn't want me becoming like that.

I don't either. My eyes were opened.

I'll fight.

Wait, Yukari-chan! Where are you going?

None of your business!

What got you mad?

Did I offend you?

It'll be like I kicked you out. Jouji will scold me.

Um...

What?

You might've just gotten mixed up and had him...

...but George is important to me.

So I don't want you wishing that you hadn't had him!

Oh, no...

You have it wrong.

It's griping, a figure of speech.

Jouji is more important to me than anyone else.

After all, I gave birth to him.

Please excuse me.

George, a minute? I want to discuss something.

Later's fine, right? I'll listen at home.

I may not be able to go back there anymore.

You can keep working. Just five...

Outside.

Sorry for worrying you all.

But I'll be in the show for sure.

I look forward to the dress.

Let's win the grand prix together!

You're going back home?

So? The talk?

I'm joining a modeling agency.

Yeah, I heard from them.

They were surprised when I said I knew nothing about it.

I was the one who was really surprised.

That's...

Why didn't you say something this important yesterday?

I wanted to consult you most of all...

Don't you have the wrong idea?

Coming to me for advice...

Make your own decisions.

Then what are you mad about?

Nothing.

Liar. You were rude.

Is that all you wanted to say?

Wait!

I don't feel good about this at all!

If you have something to say, say it!

Last night...

If you felt sleeping with me was greater than becoming a model...

I just thought you were a foolish woman.

I won't think that.

I'll never think that again.

I'm sick of a loveless man like you!

All I wanted, was to be near you.

Suguru, welcome back.

Sis is back!

Oh, Yukari, welcome back.

Can I take a bath?

It's ready.

Then I'll go first.

What are you doing? Hurry inside.

I will if you listen.

I'll listen...

I'll listen, so come in.

He's more important than anyone else.

After all, I gave birth to him.

Mother, do you love me?

A pro model? I can't wrap my mind around it.

Is this president proper and trustworthy?

I want you to meet her partly to make sure she is.

All right. I'll meet her.

Your father may come home Sunday, so I'll talk to him.

Thank you.

But I have a condition.

Note: 2500 English Words Revised Ed.; Guide to College Exams

The condition my mother set, was unbelievably simple.

To graduate high school properly.

If I'm allowed to model...

...I felt I could do anything, even get into college...

Even if I couldn't see George.
