What's the happiness in this?

What's the point of happiness?

Where's the happiness?

[Katase Clinic]

Are you there?

I'm here.

Did you want it to end?

The happiness game.

I still don't think I can do it.

Like someone else.

Because I can't lie well.

So...

even though I'm really happy,

I wanted it to end.

Don't die.

Regardless of who you are.

Whether you want to die or not,

people are like that.

You tried to cheat me,

kill me

and take my money, didn't you?

Yeah...

Where is my real brother?

Did you kill him?

When I was being taken away by the police,

he worried about me and came to get me.

He was then hit by a motorcycle.

When I got out of prison,

all that was left were bones.

If he doesn't come after me, you know.

He would have been spared from death.

Isn't it like I killed him?

He was a kind man.

Yeah.

If only I had written back to him.

If I do...

That person knew that.

Why you don't reply.

Your feelings.

He was a dull guy, though.

He knew exactly all about that.

He was that type of guy.

How did you get down here?

Reiji-san!

Oh, you were together?

- Isn't Ako-chan with you? - She's with me.

We are going to the hospital now.

Dojima's backroom casino is tonight.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

[Surgery explanation/consent form]

[Relative or helper's inkan (personal seal) to authorise the surgery]

Reiji-san!

She'll definitely come back.

Until then, please just bear with me during this time.

I understand.

And also...

Next time you interview someone,

research carefully or you will lose credibility.

Well, then.

- About that... - Yeah...

I believe I have found it correctly.

I found someone important to Ako-chan.

THE LAST1 [EPISODE 10] Towards the light — Autumn has come

[Patient name: Takazono Ako Relative or helper: Shiratori Reiji]

Okay.

See you at the beginning of next week.

Thanks in advance.

Hey you...

There is one thing.

If the operation is successful,

this person will take her back. Is that okay?

If still alive.

Then stay alive.

What's wrong with you? You don't look so good.

Is this the time to be worrying about others?

It's tonight, your time limit.

Yeah.

Dojima-san's place, you say?

That's reckless.

I can't die, not until early next week.

You have found your purpose in life, for the first time.

Other than for yourself.

Ako, your fresh clothes are in this chest of drawers.

Hey, small items are on this shelf.

I did a bit, then I'm going.

Where are you going?

Hey, you'll be there for the operation, won't you?

I might die, you know.

If there's no one to take care of you when you die,

the hospital would be in trouble, right?

It's an operation to stay alive, you know.

Then you still have to make sure you are there.

See with your own eyes that I'm alive.

I understand.

You should also visit me when I'm able to see.

Without you, I wouldn't even know where my brother is, would I?

Yeah.

Promise me.

Promise.

Thank you for waiting.

You brought it, didn't you?

Five million in it.

I see.

Eh... give me some coffee.

Look, I have a headache, so give me the strong one.

Okay.

I'll go then.

What's up with you, man, you're cold.

At the very least, wish me luck.

Today's Reiji's lucky number is one.

[The opportunity you had will come. Don't look away. Today's lucky number is 1.]

So good luck.

Let's do my best.

I got a call from Makabe-san.

After the president passed away,

I saw the anxious faces of everyone at the company.

I thought my calculations would be justified for them.

The company was in crisis, but Ako-chan--

but thanks to the young lady, we're going to make it.

Thank you very much.

Igarashi-san,

did papa love me?

He loved you more than anyone else.

As someone who has been around him for a long time,

I can say that much clearly.

Thank you.

Is everything well?

That person?

Can you tell by the smell?

Who is it from?

Even for papa's funeral, this flower was chosen.

It's not like any message to be conveyed,

but I just asked for help in delivering this.

What's that?

Eh?

This must be that!

Do Reiji know about this?

That person helped me.

You're always tormenting Reiji.

After my sister's suicide, are you next?

I heard Shiori-san was in an accident--

She died by herself.

On the night of the day Reiji told her to abort the baby.

When she told him she was having a baby,

she said he instantly looked really scared.

Then he looked sad

and said he didn't want to be a parent.

When my sister heard that,

she said that neither her children nor herself were loved by Reiji.

She said that if Reiji didn't love her, she would rather die.

No, it wasn't.

Reiji-san was scared.

To be a parent when you have been abandoned without a shred of love.

Reiji...

Has he told you about his birth story?

He thought he wouldn't be able to love something important to him properly.

Even though he wants to love them.

But it was scary and sad.

That person has been living in the dark all his life.

Ako-chan?

What's wrong?

Hey!

Ako-chan!

Ako-chan!

Ako-chan!

- We're going to have surgery. - Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Reiji.

- Move faster. - Okay.

Quick, quick.

- Be careful. - Okay.

You're handling the operation, are you?

Got it, I'll be here.

Reiji? Where is Reiji?

It's awfully quiet, isn't it?

Because Reiji-san is the only guest tonight.

Ah, really?

Welcome, Rei-san.

Why are you here?

To see the end of you.

Oh, I see. You're now a child of Dojima's family, right?

No, it's not.

I'm going to be Rei-san.

What the hell is that?

Strong and cool, do whatever it takes to survive.

You don't change a single shade of colour when someone dies.

I admired you like that.

It's going to change.

That's why I'm going to be Rei-san.

Dojima-san is there, isn't he?

Welcome, Reiji-san.

It's kind of bad.

He said he couldn't do it, so you made him do it.

To make me disappear.

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything.

I don't like you either.

I think I'm going to get on well with the new Reiji-san.

I see.

One game for five million.

Then that's it.

He can get a cut from Takuro.

Rei-san, you see the white circle there?

- Right there, at your feet. - Yeah.

Until I say it's okay,

if you step out of there even a millimetre, you lost the game.

Come in.

You're in charge.

Well, then.

Today's lucky number.

Jun-san, let me whip the ball in.

Hey! Don't do it, don't do it, you really shouldn't, okay?

After all, we have Jun-chan, the cheating pro.

Let him do it.

No more bet!

Reiji!!

Hey what!

Ako-chan is in serious danger.

She suddenly started hurting and now has to have an operation.

Get off me, you idiot!

Reiji!

What are you going to do?

Naru,

you've lost.

I'm Reiji, you know.

Ako... Ako...

Ako, stay alive.

You were so late, I wondered what was wrong.

It's time in five minutes.

Let's make sure you settle up properly that 730 million.

Move away!

Reiji-san!

You have to keep your promises.

I have 600 million in the bank.

Plus my internal organs, that'll do, won't it?

Oh, that's a shame,

the doctor's in surgery right now.

I can't get it done today, for your internal organs.

Then now, come on, just wait a bit longer.

I wonder if I can wait?

I don't have time either, it looks like this.

What for? Next job?

My internal organs...

I've got cancer all over the place.

Even Dr Sunouchi herself was unable to help.

I want to at least get the last job done right.

Haruo-chan, did he know that?

Ah!

That lad won't understand anything.

I heard that he got injured in the past, that he got hit in the head.

Heard it from Dr Sunouchi.

He was being rushed here,

and his brother begged to not let him die.

He said, "You can kill me, just help this guy."

Until Haruo-chan came to his senses,

I heard that he didn't leave his side.

Until he saw him alive with his own eyes,

I heard that he didn't leave his side.

That's why, you know...

I have to go too,

to that person's side.

Haruo was beaten up...

because of my fault, you know.

It was done by people who have a grudge against me.

That's why I'm responsible.

Ako-chan would be different, though.

She is destined for it.

Even if you can't be by her side,

keep praying for Ako-chan's sake.

The people who try to protect Ako-chan

will be there for her.

And compared to you,

they're more decent people than you are.

If the place we live varies,

so will the place we die.

It's time.

Load him into the car.

Give me some more time!

It's just so dizzying.

I love her, you know!

Please hear me out.

I'm not going to run away from you.

I just want to live.

I want to meet her alive.

Hey! Let me meet her for the last time.

That person...

That person is my light, you know!

It's okay to let him go.

Today's task is finished.

I've never heard of it before.

Reiji-san of Kabukicho says it seriously.

The word "love."

Let me buy that word for 100 million.

Everything is expensive, isn't it?

Because it rarely comes up.

It's a bargain, you know!

Either way...

It's our cut, the remaining 100 million.

After a long while, should we return home?

Our home?

Yeah.

It's where we brothers were born,

our home.

Sea...

Reiji!

Ako?

I don't know yet.

It's over.

Great success.

Then...

Then that person...

She's sleeping over there, go and see her.

Doctor!

You are a genius, after all.

No, it's all god's plan.

Good for you.

Nobody needs to die this time.

You should see her.

Naru?

Naru...

This is the end.

Ah... Naru...

Naru.

Thank you...

Kabukicho's Reiji.

The successor...

The successor has arrived.

But, you know...

for the last time...

I have to go.

Reiji, don't move!

I told you not to move.

Kiriko...

I'm sorry.

I had a promise.

Alive...

To that person who alive...

There is...

Stupid!

Ah, what's going on?

Why? That...

It's dark!

My light...

Ako...

Pardon me.

But...

I can't keep it.

Try to open your eyes slowly.

It's bright.

Saki...

You can see it, can't you?

That person?

Where's Reiji-san?

Ako-chan...

Even though that person helped me.

Even though that person gave me light.

Why is he not here?

Even though he promised.

Why is he not here?

Liar.

Liar...

Reiji-san left me a map of the temple where my real brother is resting.

"You can see it, so you can get there yourself."

As if he were saying that.

[Thank you for the love. I believe Ako will live with the light. - Shiratori Reiji ]

[Light]

Is she going out again today?

Ako-chan.

Yes.

Sorry for the wait, here you are.

Excuse me, can I have a refill, please?

Yes.

Master, one more curry, please.

Okay

Ako-chan, she's out looking for him again.

But she doesn't know his face, does she, Reiji-san?

Yeah. But, you know, she insisted on going alone.

Head towards the light.

Excuse me, can I have another?

Ah, okay.

- Master, another one. - Thank you.

All of this needs to be delivered. Move more quickly.

Okay.

Welcome!

You again?

Kiriko-san is the only one...

who seems to know the truth.

Hey, are you sure you're alright?

You've been told not to push yourself too hard, and now you're going overseas?

It's a reputation, you know.

It's slowly gaining traction.

Ah, Italy is very enjoyable. How about going to Capitoline?

To get away from Ako-chan?

That person must be able to see, right?

It looks like.

Then, you know...

forget that it all started with a lie.

Give that person a break. Because she deserves to be happy.

But come on Rei-san.

That's because she couldn't see me.

It's better to remain invisible and unknown, as the saying goes.

Yeah, hey! Australia is also nice.

You know, why don't we all hug the koala together?

Anywhere is fine, but decide quickly.

And, please,

don't be so self-centered that you alter your mind after receiving a ticket.

Hey, hey, you. Don't talk like that.

You see, I was stabbed.

Ah, but, you see, you're still alive.

What's wrong?

Rei-san?

You're an Ako, aren't you? It's your brother!

I won't let you be alone anymore.

You are properly...

Ako, come here. I'll hold you properly.

Take me to the place you like best.

Here's what I make.

Fireflies are still here.

Always be happy...

Ako, the feeling of being in love...

I finally found you, Ako.

Shiratori Reiji-san!

Finally, I found you.

You always found me.

You properly found me.

And this time, it was mine who wanted to find you.

You can't lie and say I don't know you.

Because...

If I try to use a lie,

that lie will be exposed.

目を閉じて祈っていた me o tojite inotteita I closed my eyes and prayed

永遠に続く日々を eien ni tsuzuku hibi o for the days that will last forever.

部屋中に残っている heya chū ni nokotteiru Remained in the middle of the room,

記憶の影に kioku no kage ni the shadows of the memories,

何もできず nani mo dekizu and I couldn't do anything about them.

Why 叶わないと知り Why kanawanai to shiri Why did we know it wouldn't come true?

Why 求め合うのだろう Why motomeau nodarō Why do we seek each other out?

雨に打たれて ame ni utarete Being struck by the rain

涙に濡れて namida ni nurete and getting wet with tears.

Everything has gone... so I do.

守れない愛だってある mamorenai ai datte aru There is love that cannot be protected.

その切なさを力に sono setsuna sa o chikara ni That sadness will turn into strength.

流した涙がかわくまで nagashita namida ga kawaku made Until the flowing tears dry up.

時よ進め tokiyo susume Time to move on!

Time is waiting for you.

灰色の街の中に haīro no machi no naka ni In the center of the gloomy city.

君はもういないけれど kimi wa mō inaikeredo Even though you are no longer there.

鮮やかに全てを変えた azayaka ni subete o kaeta The memories that vividly changed everything.

記憶の意味を探してる kioku no imi o sagashiteru I'm searching for the meaning of that.

Cry 声にならなくて Cry koe ni naranakute Cry without becoming a voice.

Cry ぎゅっと抱き合った Cry gyutto dakiatta Cry while we hug tightly.

その優しさが その囁きが sono yasashi sa ga sono sasayaki ga Its tenderness, its whispers.

Everything has gone... so I do.

守れない愛だっていい mamorenai ai datte ī It doesn't matter if it's a love that can't be protected,

ただ出逢えたそれだけで tada de aeta sore dakede just as long as we have met each other.

過ぎゆく季節の中で今 sugiyuku kisetsu no naka de ima Now in the passing season,

歩きだそう Arukidasō let's start walking.

Time is waiting for you.
