Original subtitles

According to Shu...

I was probably scared.

Of what?

Before you knew it...

So you feel the same way?

Do you feel for me?

Have you fallen for me?

You know... I have something to ask you.

What is it? Nothing difficult now. I can't think from morning.

It doesn't matter what time of day, right?

I'll answer before you.

What is it?

When only you love the person...

That's one-sided love.

Eriko should know that feeling very well.

There you go again.

Not that I dislike it.

When I was in grade school, I was in love for six years.

Mutual love isn't everything.

Is that the question?

One person in love means one-sided, so...

What is it? Out with it.

If you love one another, then...

Are you joking around?

Even Poppo knows that.

She's blushing!

Just say it, everyone. One, two, three.

- Mutual love. - Mutual love.

Yes!

You don't need to receive complete assurance,

but you want to confirm it with everyone.

Listen to me, listen to me.

That's probably...

Director: Sawada Kensaku

Translation: Nippon Golden Network

What is it? Show it to me.

Okay.

I have a right to see it as the model.

Right.

- What do you think? - Well...

Well, what?

What do you think?

- What I think? - Yeah.

I think they're better than the ones I've done so far.

That's not good enough.

An artist can't be modest.

You have to assume a haughty attitude.

I'm not an artist.

Don't back off like that.

If I said what's so good about this, will you stop drawing?

No.

Then have confidence.

All right.

So what do you think?

Don't be bothered by what others say.

I want your opinion as the model.

All right, I'll respond.

The model looks prettier in person.

Besides, I have better style than this.

Really?

What were you looking at anyway?

They were drawn from imagination.

I wouldn't pay you to paint a portrait of me.

- Those aren't portraits. - Oh, really?

You don't understand art.

There you go. That's how it should be.

I'm happy.

Extremely.

I could die already.

That's exaggerating.

A little.

But...

I want to...

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Don't only carry that light thing.

- Stop complaining. - Well, excuse me.

I hate it!

Masshiro, help me.

Masshiro.

Masshiro?

Get a grip. What's wrong?

Masshiro!

You okay?

I wonder if Masshiro is okay.

She ate her breakfast.

That's not it.

What are you smiling about? Aren't you worried?

I'm worried, all right... About her baby.

What?

Was I the only one who knew about pregnancy?

Are you for real?

She didn't have her period.

I saw her vomiting often.

Then...

I didn't verify it with her, since I don't like to pry.

We're talking about Masshiro, not you.

You all heard her say that she couldn't even

decently converse with her boyfriend.

You don't need to talk to do that.

Stop getting disgusting. Close your ears.

If what you say is true, then he's still young.

Is she having it?

That all depends on her boyfriend.

I would have it, even if I didn't have his support.

I love children.

Ai, what about you?

The doctor was able to prevent miscarriage.

Who is the father?

A young boy. She notified him by mail.

She appears quiet, but she's quite bold.

I don't want any trouble.

Whether she has it or aborts it...

will hopefully be dealt with after the family court trial.

What if she ends up going to the reformatory?

There are cases like that.

Will she deliver the child in the reformatory?

Yes.

Maybe you should talk it over with her again.

As the Chief said,

we would like to avoid having to deal with it while she's with us.

In any event, we'll have to notify her mother.

Yeah.

An unwed mother?

I read the report.

On Hayakawa Ai?

Is that true?

I met with her parents.

The report mentioned nothing about a brother.

It happened when she was still little.

How can she kill him?

Isn't that what she told you?

Yes, she said she killed him.

What did she mean? Wasn't it an accident?

I interpreted it as a case of ill-wishing.

How come?

When you're a child, you want others' sympathy.

So you say you're poor or your parent is ill.

In other words, a lie?

Her expression is abnormal.

What is the name of her brother who died?

By chance, is it Shu?

Yes...

How did you know?

Everyone's asleep.

Masshiro.

Sorry, did I wake you up?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What about your baby?

Did the officer tell you?

Anna said you were.

She did?

After careful thinking...

I decided to abort it.

I see.

Is that cruel of me?

Not really.

Good night.

I'm relieved to see that you're looking better.

I was aware that he was in great pain...

but there wasn't anything I could do to help.

It's not your fault.

No one could've helped him with his problems of his art creations.

Had I the talent, I may have been able to help him.

Not necessarily artistic talent. In other words,

had I female passion to stimulate him.

You once told me... that you wanted to fly.

Had I been able to fly... to fly with him.

Then even if his wings were wounded, I could've prevented his fall.

Not only for his sake, but for mine...

I wonder how it feels... to fly together.

It's a height of love that most can't experience.

No one can stay in love, above the clouds.

There is no one else you can turn to,

so there are no anxieties or disappointments.

When you fall, you fall together, too.

That's a scary kind of romance.

You probably...

wouldn't call it love.

What is he doing...

to Anna?

What is that monkey doing to her?

Does it bother you?

That's funny.

I thought your brain- washing was permanent.

Or is there a way...

that she can go back to her old self?

I don't know what that monkey officer is doing.

- You're lying. - You're right.

I actually do know.

Interested in knowing?

I think you already know.

What he's doing to her.

If you are agitated, he must be doing the right thing.

No.

In fact, that's probably the only method to use on her.

What else?

What else did Makimura Koki do for you?

Are you going to do the same thing as him?

That's right.

Koki and I are united by heart. That won't amount to...

Really?

But you kept looking at my bandage.

You know how painful it is to be physically hurt.

You know that the mind and body are one.

That's why it hurt you to do prostitution.

That's not true!

Then it shouldn't bother you if my body aches.

Now, tell me what else Makimura did for you?

With the ballpoint pen...

What?

He stabbed his eye.

No way.

Koki's right eye is glass.

Well?

Aren't you going to do the same?

To the hospital?

Yeah. I can't?

Well, that is...

Masshiro feels very insecure now.

She will go into a panic when she goes to surgery.

That...

I promise not to run away. You can handcuff me.

I don't think you'd run.

Please.

Why?

Why do you want to be by her side?

I'll ask the Chief.

- Will you really? - Yes.

I don't know if he will approve though.

- Why not? - He dislikes trouble.

I'll try to emphasize the fact that she might go into a fit of panic.

She really will.

Is Shu doing fine?

Yes, very.

I'm fully to blame.

Don't torment yourself like that.

I believe that I could accept him, by losing my own identity...

But, that wasn't true.

In fact, I made him feel lonelier.

You should forget about him already.

You're still young.

I'm sure someone suitable will appear.

I can't experience ordinary love anymore.

I want another chance.

Chance?

This time, I'll certainly take flight...

I don't understand what you mean.

Does he have artistic talent?

Are you referring to his younger brother?

Yes.

He may in fact.

Ikawa Masshiro.

Yes?

Let's go.

You, too.

Hey, why can Ai go?

Don't worry about me.

Stop.

Go in.

What is it?

I can't take you along.

Why?

If you have something to say, say it now.

What about my mom?

As you asked, she won't be at the hospital.

She was in tears.

Masshiro...

I want to become friends with you.

We already are friends.

No.

Friends don't lie to each other.

I won't be able to go home to my mom.

Don't worry.

He won't say anything, I assure you.

What is it?

Don't tell me...?

Is it your father's?

Your father's?

I'm...

I'm not going to let this defeat me.

I won't cry for that guy.

I'm only crying for my mom.

Ikawa. Let's go.

Okay.

Masshiro.

What should we do?

About what she said earlier?

Yes...

She probably intends to fight him.

She has only one wish.

To protect her mother.

Will she be able to win?

Sure she can.

Her friends will surely protect her.

Friends...

I've got something to ask you.

I'm somewhat bothered by Masshiro's situation.

After you two left, we talked it over together.

Well, of course, Poppo didn't say anything.

When you consider Masshiro's personality,

she's not the type to easily abort her child.

She acts like our mom, when we're her age.

In other words, she is motherly.

She's strong enough to bear the child of her

beloved boyfriend, no matter how young she is.

What were the two of you talking about out there?

Nothing really. I was just worried about her.

Hey, we're worried about her, just the same!

I'm not as hot as her, but I want to know the truth.

Well, Ai?

Could the father of her child be...

her stepfather?

So it was him!

That damn father of hers! I want to kill him!

Masshiro didn't cry.

She refused to cry over him.

She's very strong.

No, she's not! She's putting up a strong front!

I've never lived for anyone until now.

Nor did I ever have the desire to.

Thinking about it now,

I didn't even have any feelings to do anything for my parents.

I expected to be loved one-sidedly.

And at times, their love was a burden to me.

Wherever I went, I was always alone.

But for some reason,

you were willing to inflict injury upon yourself for Miike Anna.

My body was in pain, but my mind was strangely calm.

As a matter of fact, I was filled with happiness.

I wasn't happy for her sake, but for my own.

For living for someone.

I was only doing it for my own sake.

She easily saw through me.

My tiny sense of justice won't beat Makimura Koki.

Maybe he really loves Miike Anna!

I have to go back. Call me if anything happens.

Yes?

I'll be right over.

Where's my baby?!

- Calm down! - My baby!

Hold her down tightly!

I want to see my baby!

Masshiro.

It was my judgment to bring her along.

Hello, Masshiro.

Ai...

Everyone is hiding my baby from me.

Please bring my baby.

No, it's not here.

- Please. - It's not here!

No.

No...

My papa in Nagoya will dislike me for it.

Papa like the smell of the masshiro (pure white)

clean sheets, so he named me Masshiro.

But look how dirty it is!

He won't dislike you!

You're not impure.

When I was yet a child... I got lost on an excursion I went to.

I cried and cried, but no one noticed me.

I felt very insecure.

Then, I heard a voice from the big tree I was leaning on.

I heard, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

When I dazingly looked up, I saw a tiny white forest spirit.

No, a fairy.

I told my teacher, friends, and parents about it later,

but no one would believe.

But I know for sure that there was a white fairy in that forest.

Do you know why I remembered that now?

That fairy's voice...

A voice I would never forget and mistake...

sounded very much like your voice.

The voice of the white, pure white fairy.

Welcome back.

You okay?

Yeah.

Sorry to worry you.

Not really.

Poppo.

You...

- You should've told us. - Eriko.

Don't say you'll only cry for your mom.

Don't put up such a strong front!

Don't hold your feelings in, when you're with us!

We may only be together for a month... but I think of you as a friend.

You can cry for yourself... in front of your friends.

Eriko.

She's right.

Don't try to act tough.

Anna.

Poppo.

Ai.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, all of you.

I'm really sorry...

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

How is she doing?

I think she'll be all right.

That story...

About the pure white fairy in the forest.

Is that a true story?

Of course it is.

When I was young, I had had great imagination.

Imagination isn't a lie.

No, it isn't.

Back then, I used to think the visible reality was fake.

You were an artist then?

Sad, but true.

I suddenly remembered something.

What?

You're back to when you were a child.

You should go back even further.

Suppose I'm a princess.

- Take it seriously. - Okay.

I'm confined in the middle of Earth.

Is this the middle of Earth?

Yes.

How will you save me?

Well, let's see.

Go back to when you were a child.

Let me use my imagination.

What will you do?

I'll turn into a mole and save you.

- A mole? - Yes.

It might take me some time, but I'll surely come to save you.

I haven't seen light for such a long time,

so my eyes will be ruined.

I rely on the magma smell for direction,

so these hands will melt. But I promise to save you.

Don't give up on me and move away, okay?

I'll come knocking your way.

You'll say, "I'm underneath."

What do you say to that?

What's wrong?

I can picture that, too.

There won't be this room, nor any windows, walls, or floors.

Just the empty skies.

We'll always be free, together.

I heard about Shu.

Your younger brother.

Is that why you asked about my brother?

Now it's your turn to open up.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here for you.

You were staring at my pocket.

You were comparing it to my sadness.

No, you can't be like that.

It was so petty that...

You wanted to rip apart my clothes.
