Welcome.

Good afternoon.

What, it's you. Cut school again?

No. We had a self study session in the morning

and then the teacher had an ulcer and left suddenlyMore like stressed out because you

guys never pay attention in school.

Don't know what's happening in the classrooms these days.

You sound like an old man.

Shut up.

What? You're giving me the creeps.

I know why you asked me to go open a bank account all of a sudden.

She's a real beauty.

She's heard about you too.

Are you interested in her?

No matter how beautiful she is, if her character sucks, you can't call her a beauty.

Don't talk to me about her again.

Sorry about what happened earlier.

never expected him to have a brother like that.

What happened yesterday?

That high school student yesterday...

Although he was pretty good looking, he spoke funny. Seems like he's hearing impaired.

Don't you think that's annoying?

Did you say anything to hurt him?

If I had known, I would've gone to that get together instead.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Umm...

What is it? You have something to say?

Umm... It wasn't me.

Eh?

You got the wrong person. That's all I wanted to say.

Wait a minute... hey!

Jun!

The office lady you met, is her hair about this length?

Much longer.

Oh I see, I see.

And... is she fair?

Why are you asking all this?

Nothing, just small talk. Thanks for doing that.

It's really nothing, just talking... talkingOni-chan!

Oni-chan!

Welcome back.

I heard from the lady who runs the cleaners.

What happened at the bank yesterday?

Hm?

She said she was there and had the shock of her life.

Oh, so she had a shock.

Why on earth did you do something like that?

Well, umm...

Aniki!

Well...

She said nasty things to you didn't she?

She hurt you didn't she?

You can't let off someone who doesn't care about the feelings of others.

That's why I told her,

"No one has the right to hurt other people!"

You busy body.

Jun! Off Jun!

What's he mad about?

Of course he would be! Idiot!

Hm?

Umm..

Good work.

Suzuki-san.

Yes?

About that high school student...

Ah, forget about that already. I feel a little bad about it too.

Then send him a mail.

I think he's upset about it.

What if he starts getting persistent? What am I going to do?

No, no, I don't want to write to him anymore. Sorry.

Uhm... Ah.

I think I might have made a mistake

#Japan-TV@irc.aniverse.net

Sorry, I'm really sorry.

It's ok. You've apologized already.

But I said all that in anger in front of everyone.

You got me a new account didn't you?

I wanted to thank you for it. This makes us even then.

Really?

Oh, ok. That's great.

Ah, in that case, get more accounts for you.

know a lot of people around here.

Thank you but it's ok.

It's not a bother.

It's not that. I just want to try to do my job myself.

I'd like to get a new account on my own.

Oh, I see.

Your brother's hearing impaired?

You heard from that girl?

She feels bad about it too.

Really?

Forget it. I went too far myself.

When it comes to my brother I take things too seriously.

When he was four, he injured his ears in an accident.

After that, he lost most of his hearing ability.

Although he wears a hearing aid, he

pretty much can't hear everythingBecause he can't hear himself speak,

he can't pronounce words properly.

The syllables "Ta Chi Tsu Te To" are especially hard for him.

But he seems to be working very hard, practicing every day.

You're brother's really something

Yeah, he is.

How shall I put it... he's a person who perseveres.

Even the doctors were surprised

"You've done well to speak like this."

"Ha ha ha,they praised him.

Ah, I heard your brother dives?

How did you know?

I saw the e-mail.

They were all about the ocean.

The two of us go diving often, in the ocean.

Sounds nice, the ocean. If only I got a chance to see it.

You can't swim?

Yeah.

Actually, I was like that too, I was afraid of the water. But,

diving in with the oxygen tank,

one can breathe in the water.

When I realized that, I somehow got the courage.

Are you laughing at me?

No.

You're thinking "What a simple minded idiot" aren't you?

No...

I am a simple minded idiot.

Oni-chan! Oh no!

Oh no! Oni-chan! Oh no!

What are we going to do?

Not there!

Oii! Chika! Not there!

In here?

Here, here! In here?

It'll be fine!

Jun.

Umm, I heard from that girl's colleague,

that she feels bad about it too.

Forget it.

But...

It's over now.

That's good. Better if you reject that sort of girl.

I'm studying, don't disturb me.

Ok. Sorry

Ah, oh yeah.

Let's go diving this Sunday.

It'll cheer you up.

I guess he's still mad about it.

Chika!

Are you inside? You're home after all.

Welcome back, you're home early.

Anything today?

There were two calls for repairs tomorrow.

I wrote them down in the book.

Oh. Then go take a shower.

Ok; after that you can make dinner.

Hm?

It's so hot today, why did you shut the windows?

Insects... Insects are coming in...

But it's so hot.

Never mind. I don't want the insects getting in.

But insects...

It's fine. But insects...

So I'm an insect after all.

Ah, hello.

Sorry to call you in when you're so busy. I'm his form teacher Matsunaga.

Thank you for looking after my brother.

Sensei.

This is a little something for you.

You don't have to.

It's from the country.

But...

It's delicious. Share it with the other teachers.

In that case, thank you.

The reason I called you here today

was because of this.

What is this?

These are the colleges Jun wants to apply for.

We normally get the students to write it every year before the summer.

Education?

So you didn't know about it?

I didn't.

see.

Well, I think with Jun's academic results,

there should be no problem getting into any of the colleges he's indicated.

However, selecting education as his major would be... how shall I put it?

That would mean that he intends to become a teacher. Well, with that intention...

I know what it is you're trying to say.

see...

Yes?

Pardon me... Yes?

Yo..

You're really serious about getting into the Education college?

Being a teacher's not easy, can you do it?

Being a teacher,

one has to speak in front of many students.

At the same time, one would have to speak and explain clearly to the students, can you do it?

Oni-chan, you don't have to say that.

You keep quiet.

You should look for other more suitable careers

like computers or designing

Work that doesn't need you to speak much would be easier on you too.

Tomorrow, tell your teacher that you'll change your major.

Understand?

Jun, this is for your own good.

You can't do it, become a teacher.

Why?

How do you know?

If you can't you can't. So give it up.

Who are you to decide?

Jun-nichan!

But!

Let him go!

Let him go! Let him calm down a bit.

Let him calm down a bit.

So Jun-nichan's over at your place.

We'll let him stay over so don't worry.

I'm glad. If he's at your place I don't have to worry.

Thanks, goodnight.

He's at Hiroto's and will be spending the night there.

Oh, let him do as he pleases. He was the one who ran out of here.

You were wrong too.

Even if you hadn't said all that, he knows about his handicap perfectly.

He knows it but still wants to become a teacher.

know.

That's why I said it.

Becoming a teacher, it's obvious that it'll be tough on him.

He's really smart.

He can easily get a job that won't be so tough for him.

If he insists, he'll suffer like he's never had to before.

guess so...

I'm sure Dad would say the same thing up in heaven.

Welcome Jun-kun.

Sorry to bother you.

Please leave us alone.

Since Jun's here, get him to help you with your studies.

Ok, ok

Go on!

?? Go on!

??

Whenever Mom sees anyone studying, she'll keep nagging at me to study too.

Ever since grade school, she hasn't changed. I'm now in high school.

Ah, go ahead and eat.

Thank you.

But then again, becoming a teacher... you're really strange.

I want to meet different people.

I want to get to know different people, want them to understand me

I want to try on my own.

This I won't give up. Because, I've already given up on a lot of things in life.

If that's what you really want to do, you've got my support.

But, would Natsuo agree wonder...

You're going for your regular checkup today. Did you tell the people at the bank?

Today is Sunday, it's closed.

see. I haven't had a day off in so long, I don't even know what day it is anymore.

Is the director at the hospital on a Sunday to take a look at you?

Make sure you thank him properly.

Yes.

Go have the checkup. If there's anything, call me right away.

I will

Take a seat.

Ok.

How is it?

Well...

As of right now, there doesn't seem to be any enlargement of the heart muscle.

That's great.

You're father will be relieved to hear that.

When you said you wanted to work he was very worried.

Looks like when one is young, even if it appears risky,

there are things one has to do. Right doctor?

Well, within limits.

By the way, Seiji is back today.

I said that you'd be here so he might be waiting for you.

Seiji?

You look great.

I've been doing fine.

I see.

Ah, I heard that you're specializing in cardiac surgery at the medical university.

Well, come back to this hospital someday so I decided to follow in my father's footsteps.

Then you'll be the one taking care of me?

What? Don't like the idea?

No, it's not that

You'll have to show me your chest.

Seiji-san!

Thank you.

You were around that age when I first met you.

You're right, that was when I first stayed here.

Everyone would cry at least once because they got lonely.

But you never did.

Really?

I thought there was nothing cute about you.

You're really going alone?

I wonder when Jun-nichan will come back.

Leave him alone.

Why? Jun's said he doesn't want to go home.

Oni-chan's really worried about you.

Think it over again?

This is the only time when I'm not going to listen to Aniki.

Yup.

Yup, yup. I've made up my mind.

Hiroto, shut up.

Sorry.

It's been a long time since I had a chance to look out at the sea.

But is it ok Seiji? You're on your day off.

It's a good chance for me too.

On top of that, if I'm with someone else, I can relax.

see

I'm really popular you know.

Lately, I've become used to people dying.

I guess it's because I see it everyday.

It's a tough job isn't it? Being a doctor.

But I finally understand one thingThere's no such thing as a God.

There's no such thing as a God.

There's only people with luck and people without it in this world.

Yukichan, although you're alright now,

don't forget that your heart is a time bomb waiting to explode.

But you're definitely a lucky person.

Cause you've got such an excellent doctor like me around. Right?

That's true

It's from the hospital, might take a while.

It's ok. I'll just walk around for a bit.

Hello? That patient?

Oh!

What are you doing here? What a coincidence!

You came alone?

Here with your boyfriend?

No, it's not what you think.

Not what think?

see.

You just went diving?

Yes, it feels great. Took a lot of pictures too.

Underwater pictures?

Yes, my one and only hobby.

I see

Where's your brother? Don't you dive together?

He left home.

Left home?

He said he wanted to become a teacher

so he's decided on the education department in all the colleges he applied to, without discussing it with me.

He can't become a teacher?

I told you before about my brother didn't I?

He can't do it.

In this world, there are things that one can and can't do.

Although I was thinking of him when I disagreed, he flew out of the house.

He's really ungrateful not knowing how I worry about him.

Who does he think worries about him the most?

I think your brother knows your feelings exactly.

Eh?

That's why, he's lived his life

just the way you've wantedDenying himself his true feelings.

Living life in order not to cause the people around him to worry.

But this time, maybe he just wants to try to do something on his own.

Being a teacher.

I think he wants to take a chance to see how far he can go by himself.

Take a chance?

That kind of feeling, I think he won't give up on it.

I can understand a little of that feeling

What do you know?

You've never even met my brother.

I'm the one who knows him the best, more than anyone else.

He's calling you.

... I've said too much, I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Someone you know?

Yeah, a little.

Looks defiant.

Yes.

Yes, wait a minute.

Shinoda Cycle.

It's Matsunaga, Jun's teacher.

Hello. Ah, hello.

What happened to Jun today?

What?

Well, it's the first time he's ever been absent without letting anyone know.

Are you sure it's alright not going to school?

I never go so it doesn't matter.

Hey Hiroto.

Oh.

Starting last month, there's been a group of snatch thieves,

juveniles on bikes.

All their targets are older women.

There are more cases when the women are attacked just after they've withdrawn money from banks

We also think they even tail their victims.

This has been happening a lot hasn't it?

Are there no witnesses?

Yes there were.

But they were wearing helmets so technically there aren't any witnesses.

The places where the crimes took place were...

Looks like a tough case.

Take notes.

Who's that?

He stayed over and came with me.

There's an "event" next week, you come too.

think about it.

What? Still afraid?

What event?

None of your business.

Is it something bad?

It's not.

What's wrong with the way he speaks?

He can't hear.

What's this on his ear?

Hey, say something.

Can you hear me?!

Wow! It's really loud!

Really? Wow! It's really loud!

Give it back... give it back.

Stop it! Leave him alone, he can't hear

Give it here.

Give it back!

You...

Give it back!

What?

What are you trying to do?

Apologize to him.

What the hell?

You can hear better can't you?

Natsuo-san!

Why aren't you in school?

It's not the time for playing!

Bastard!

Hurts doesn't it?

You don't want to cause a scene here do you?

Excuse me, could you call for the police?

Run for it.

Be good!

Hiroto!

Not going to school but hanging around places like this,

you'll only end up mixing with bad company.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Here Jun.

What's wrong? Here.

You're always like this, since was a little kid.

I can't even fight. You're always there to help me.

What are you saying? Here.

Does my handicap bother you so much?

I can't fight, I can't be a teacher.

Although you say you're not bothered by my handicap,

the one who's bothered by it most is you!

Jun!

Welcome back. What happened with oni-chan?

Aniki...

I shouldn't have said what I did just now. I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

You know...

You used to follow me around a lot when you were a kid.

After school, coming home

when I'd dump my knapsack and was about to go out to play,

you'd say "Let's go together."

Once I'd planned to go out cycling with some friends

and decided to keep it a secret from you.

However you found out.

So at a park nearby, I left you on a swing.

When you weren't looking, I planned to leave.

How's that Jun? I'm going to push harder.

Jun! Are you alright? Jun! Are you alright? Jun!

Jun! Are you alright?

Jun! Jun!

Mom and Dad never blamed me. They never said a single word.

That was an accident.

But, that was my fault.

If I hadn't thought about leaving you behind,

that wouldn't have happened.

I kept thinking that if I could take your place, I would.

But, I can't.

That's why, at the very least,

I don't want you to ever have to suffer pain and sorrow because of your hearing.

That's the only thing I can do.

Aniki...

That's why it's just like you said.

The one that's bothered about your hearing most is me.

I won't lose.

No matter what happens, no matter how tough things get, I won't lose.

Believe in me.

You're brother.

Ok?

Jun...

Why are you crying?

I'm not crying.

You are.

Am not.

Dad, Mom, this is alright I hope.

I'm going!

Jun.

Give this letter to your teacher for me.

Don't worry. Do what you want.

It's your life, so do what you want to.

Bye.

Let's go.

Be careful, look out for cars!

We know!

As long as you know.

Don't ride double!

It's dangerous!

Please let my brother do as he wishes. Thank you very much. Shinoda Natsuo.

Hmmmmm....

Alright, I understand. Do your best.

It's just like you said.

I was a little, no, very protective of my brother.

I was wrong.

What am I going to do?

"What are you going to do?"

Are you really sure you're pregnant?

What shall I do? Tell me.

This is a hanami no kasago. This is kumanomi.

This is ibarakan. It's a species of sea anemone.

These are really beautiful.

Aren't they? Pretty aren't they?

There is one picture that I want to take.

Have you heard of snow falling deep in the ocean?

Snow falling deep in the ocean?

Yes, it's unbelievable isn't it?

It's actually plankton. When plankton die,

they turn into little things like snowflakes. It's called marine snow.

However, you can only see it really really deep in the ocean.

I want to see it someday.

I'd like to see it too.

Let's go see it together.

Eh?

Ah, you're afraid?

I've never swam before.

Then, why not "take a chance?"

We've only got one life

and since we're here, it'd be a waste not to try.

Right? Right?

Hey, don't you go losing heart, baby

There's nothing to worry about

Just keep going, as strong as always. Get it on

Yesterday, I was a mess

And you were just striking out

But we had searched for that huge, Oh! Summer time

Yo! Let's taste the summer, beneath the sun...

Smile! More, more!

Yo! Yesterday's mistakes and tomorrows blunders

Scrounge and fuss over them

Yo! Let's be reborn beneath the sun

Let summer come! More, more!

Yo! Let's take our messed up problems

And kiss them bye-bye to the blue sky

It's alright, the world's

still spinning, Oh my shine

Because you'll give me tomorrow
