Good morning.

- Sorry, I'm late. - No worries, Micchan. 'Morning

Good morning.

You okay after the quake?

Yeah, it wasn't too bad at our place.

But because of the shaking, even my husband woke up.

He doesn't do anything when he's up early anyway,

so I'd rather he just went back to sleep.

Tell me about it.

The most frustrating thing is when they just sit there

doing nothing right in front of you.

- Right?

Here.

Speaking of husbands, I wonder how the manager's doing right about now.

Has it been three months already?

Yes.

Well, as long as Micchan keeps the place running,

we can keep working, so that's good.

But seriously, disappearing on her like that.

How unbelievably irresponsible.

Yeah.

Here you go, zukedon.

Okay, next up, kaisendon.

Here's 200 yen change. Thank you.

800 yen.

Yes, exactly 800 yen. Thank you.

Uh, 750 yen.

Alright, here you go.

Okay, uh...

250 yen change.

Is the fish soup refillable?

Yeah, the rice, the soup, and also the shiokara are refillable.

The shiokara too?

- Which boat are you on? - It's the Takafuji Maru.

Ah, Taka-san's boat. Good luck.

- Thanks.

800 yen.

Today's the day to pay for electricity, gas, and all that, so I'll go take care of it.

You working tonight?

Today's cram school. Work is tomorrow.

JUST BORING JAPANESE GRAMMAR

McBeardface's polo shirt isn't GAP, it's CAP lmao

If they have this, I kinda want one

Nishiyama...

Have you always liked animals since you were little?

Huh?

You're aiming for veterinary school, right?

Ah... I guess so.

I like math.

Must be nice.

You actually have a goal in life.

But, Yuri,

you recently started taking math at cram school, didn't you?

Ah...

I haven't decided on a STEM track or anything though, but for now, yeah.

The math teacher at the cram school has a great reputation.

I just recently started going,

and his lessons are easy to understand, and he has a good personality.

That might also be why.

- I see...

- Well, a great teacher makes a big difference.

Yeah.

Eh... what?

No, uh, it's just...

What's up?

Money. For the cram school.

Look...

The cram school fees, starting next month,

can you ask your mom if she can cover them?

Huh?

I might not be able to pay for it anymore.

But there's also...

the winter course registration coming up.

There's no way I can pay for that.

How's your mom? Doing okay?

Yeah.

She seems busy.

Dad.

When can we talk next?

Talk?

About my future...

I want to discuss it a bit.

Does the restaurant have a day off or something?

No, I don't know. I'll think about it.

Speaking of which, Yuri, which winter course are you taking?

Ah, the winter course...

Yeah, I was just talking with my parents about what to do.

We have to take that New Year's intensive course too, right?

Huh? Separate from the winter course?

Yeah, they're separate courses.

I probably won't take them.

Huh? Neither one?

- Yeah, probably. - For real?

Your parents said you don't have to?

I'm jealous.

Wait, I don't think I can handle the winter course alone.

I need you there, Yuri.

You're really not coming?

- Well, you know my parents... - What? Seriously?

I really can't do this alone.

You'll be fine on your own.

Eh? I don't think I will.

Alright, let's get started.

We're continuing from vectors today.

Last time, I mentioned that the most important thing in vector problems

is the initial point.

If you neglect the initial point, you won't be able to solve vector problems.

It's that important,

so let's focus on the important parts around the initial point.

Alright, page 36.

What do you think? Should we stop by the study room?

I think I will.

Wow, look at you.

Should I study too?

You don't have to come with me.

Now that's just making me feel bad.

Why?

Do you two need this? They're study problems.

Whoa, hand-made by you?

That's right. To help build experience with advanced problems.

Ugh, I suck at advanced problems...

Kitagawa-san, you were really taking notes diligently today.

Huh? You think so?

Yeah, it was obvious how focused you were.

Honestly, lessons alone can't cover everything,

so feel free to ask about anything.

I will. Thank you.

You're so nice, Watanabe-sensei.

No, I can be strict when needed.

I've never seen you be strict.

Bye.

- Um...

Then, can I...

ask a question right away?

Sure.

Welcome home.

You went to see your dad, didn't you?

I went to get the cram school fee.

Don't go chatting with him too much.

Mom, I want to talk about my future.

It's too soon for that.

Let's do it another time.

What Percentage of Architects Are Women?

Percentage of Female Architects?

13.8%

- Sit up straight.

Done.

Let me see.

If you do this...

See?

Wow...

Hey, the other day...

- Hm?

I saw you coming to school with a girl. Who was she?

Huh? The other day?

- In the morning? - Yeah.

The girl with curled hair.

Ah...

Right, right, right...

She's just, you know...

A girl from the same bus stop.

Mm...

What's her name?

Uh... Inamori, I think?

She's a year below us.

Mm...

Yuri: Sorry about today

[ Nishiyama left her on unread ]

Welcome back.

I'm home.

Wash your hands.

Alright, let's eat.

- How is it? - Delicious.

The yellowtail was on sale, so I couldn't resist.

- Mom. - Mm?

What about work?

I'm done for today.

Since we have the time, want to take a bath together?

- I'm good. - Huh? Why not?

- Mom. - Mm?

Did you read the cram school flyer I left there?

Huh? What was it about?

The winter course information.

I don't really want to talk about that right now.

Why?

We're in the middle of dinner.

But, Mom, we rarely talk...

- Ah, Yuri, please.

Just drop it.

Notice of Parent-Teacher Consultation for 2nd Year, Class 1

Preferred time slot: all crossed out

Remark: I'm sorry, but it seems difficult for me to attend.

Mishima-sensei and Sasano-san, please take one step to the right.

Yes.

Fujiwara-sensei, could you move in a little more?

Yes, and Kotani-san, adjust accordingly...

Yes.

- Arai-sensei. - Yes?

I'll take the picture.

No, Watanabe-sensei, you should be in it.

It's for the website,

so it's better to have younger people in the photo. Come on.

Well then, thank you.

Alright, everyone, get ready.

Okay.

Everyone, maybe smile a little more?

Alright, here we go.

Yes.

Alright, one more shot.

No, you can smile even better.

Multiplying an arithmetic sequence by a geometric sequence sounds complicated,

but if you differentiate both sides of the geometric sequence formula with respect to R...

things simplify quickly...

You just need to substitute the common ratio here.

Well, knowing this method can be quite useful.

You won't find this in most textbooks, though.

I have to say, Kitagawa-san, you really study hard.

There's no other student who listens so intently during self-study sessions.

I probably won't be able to take the winter course.

I'm sorry.

Technically, this is against the rules, isn't it?

Trying to get a free lesson from you like this...

That's not true.

I don't think that at all.

In fact...

I really enjoy being able to teach math

in this depth.

Sensei...

Why are you so kind to me?

Kind?

Yes.

You're kind and considerate.

Hmm... I wonder why.

Maybe because I like fishing?

Huh?

If you don't do good deeds regularly,

no matter how long you wait with your fishing rod,

luck won't come your way.

So, I want to be able to say, "This week, I did a lot of good things,"

and face the weekend with confidence.

That's your reason?

You wonder why I'm being kind to you, huh?

Kitagawa-san, is there anyone else who is kind to you?

Are your parents strict?

Not exactly...

It's more like they don't pay much attention to me.

I see.

I can't even have a proper discussion with them about my future plans.

Kitagawa-san, next time we talk here,

it doesn't have to be just about studying.

We can just chat about anything.

There are many ways to approach career counseling,

and it's not like you have to decide everything by talking to your parents.

You can rely on us teachers too.

Thank you very much.

Alright, let's try problem number two.

1 New Message from Nishiyama

I probably can't hang for a while

Why?

My folks are making me study

So, Kitagawa-san, you live around here too, huh?

Sorry for making you drive me home.

Sometimes, taking a longer route home can be a nice change of pace.

Sensei.

Mm?

Have you ever...

felt like you hated yourself?

Yes, many times.

What? That's hard to believe.

Why?

Well, it's just...

You're confident,

and you can talk to anyone so easily.

Maybe that's because...

I try really hard.

Is something troubling you?

Ah, sorry.

I guess that's not something you'd share.

I want to become an architect.

I see.

That's a great goal.

But my parents don't support me.

There aren't many female architects.

So just getting into the field is tough.

If I want to aim for it,

I need to study hard and get into a good university...

But they'd probably never allow me

to attend a STEM program for six years.

Right.

But there are ways.

Huh?

The easiest way

is to become a scholarship student.

That way, you can overcome financial issues at home.

Actually...

My family didn't allow me to go to university either.

But you see,

I really admired math departments and research labs,

so I worked hard and got a scholarship.

That's amazing...

Not at all...

Looking back, the time I studied the hardest in my life was back then,

which actually isn't ideal.

But still, that's amazing.

I can't say it's easy,

but if you work hard, you can make it happen.

Watching you, I really believe that.

I can only teach you math,

but I'll help however I can.

That's very kind of you.

AM 6:28

A high school student from this complex.

The person who found her?

A man in his 30s, also a resident here.

I see.

The victim lived on the 6th floor.

It seems likely she jumped from outside her home.

Judging by the rigor mortis,

the estimated time of death was late last night.

The mother was absent.

Absent?

The mother works at night and usually comes home late.

Last night, however, she wasn't at work.

She was visiting a male acquaintance.

What about the father?

Not present. They're divorced.

Uh-huh.

The victim was last confirmed

leaving her part-time job at a karaoke place at 8:30 PM.

Is the job far?

About a 20-minute walk.

She usually commuted by bicycle,

but it was raining last night,

so she likely walked home, according to her boss.

And no one knows what happened after she left.

Come on, it's suicide.

Domoto-san, you always overthink things.

You may have already answered these questions,

but could you tell me everything about the days

leading up to your daughter's passing?

Yes.

Did anything seem different about Yuri-san lately?

Not that I can think of.

While living together,

has there been anything even slightly different from usual?

No...

Nothing in particular.

When was the last time you saw Yuri-san?

Last week.

She came to my restaurant.

What did you talk about?

Her exams...

She wanted to... talk to me about them.

We didn't have cram school that day,

so we just talked at school.

We had planned to go shopping next week...

She picked up the job quickly,

and she never was late or absent.

Well, she was really enthusiastic...

Especially recently, she'd come to ask questions proactively.

Were there any signs that she was feeling down?

I don't think so.

At least, I didn't notice anything like that.

I knew...

that Yuri was watching us...

I...

I tried to make her even more jealous...

And you think that might have driven her into a corner, yes?

- Hey, man. - Yes?

Do you really think we need to call this many witnesses?

Seriously, Domoto is way too eager.

Family trouble. No suicide note.

She was an honor student, but struggling with university entrance exams due to financial reasons.

And lately, she's been struggling with her love life.

So it's just another troubled teenager who got so overwhelmed that she took the leap.

So I guess we call this a suicide then, huh?

- Makes sense. - Right.

But that girl...

Would she really commit suicide over just that?

If we were to assume...

If we were to assume it was murder,

there are strangely no clues at all.

Huh? What are you saying?

Or rather, it feels like...

all clues have been completely and perfectly erased...

That's why it's suicide.

What's with the overanalyzing?

Well, not even the railing had any fingerprints.

It was raining after all.

I'm going to re-examine the files.

Hey, Domoto, drop it already.

It's too early to conclude that it's suicide when we haven't even found a reason for it.

Whether there's a reason or not, we detectives rely on our instinct.

You need to use your instinct more.

People don't die without a reason.

Kuramoto-san.

Yes?

UPCOMING DISASTERS

You see, I'm always thinking I want to be someone else.

It's cause I'm totally hollow inside.

Are you saying it wasn't an accident?

Yeah.

EVERYONE,

Um, excuse me, that's industrial waste, right?

Hello.

I'm surprised you were able to tell.

I'm good at remembering faces.

THOUGHT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO

Since we're here, how about a drink?

I'm not really good with alcohol.

Ah, sorry, my bad.

WITH THEM

But I just can't see

how there could be any reason behind it.

There must be a reason.

Even if it's not your fault,

misfortune still finds a way to strike.

When invisible forces build up

and eventually take shape,

maybe that's when people first

recognize it as a disaster.
