Oni-chan.

Oh, you're awake?

What on earth are you doing so early in the morning?

What do you mean what am I doing. Working of course!

But-it's not even 6!

Doesn't matter what time it is! Alright, this is done.

Next is...

I'm really busy.

Having breakfast after working alone, this takes delicious!

But it'll bother the neighbors with all that noise.

Yeah, you woke me up with all that racket.

You're always sleeping until the last minute.

I've told you before, the early bird catches the worm!

What's that?

For heaven's sake, please study a little bit!

It means that if people wake up early, they'll catch the worm!

Kidding

Did you have work that needed to be done in a hurry?

No, not particularly.

Then why?

It's Yuki.

Ah, a sudden change.

She has to stop work for a while. She's got to stay in the hospital.

In the hospital?

It's that serious?

Is she alright?

No she isn't, that's why she's got to go into the hospital.

That's why I have to do my best now!

If I get downhearted it's of no use!

That's why for Yuki's sake, I'll do my best and work hard!

Seconds please!

From today on, Katase-san will have to stop working for awhile.

It's unfortunate as she's worked hard. I hope you'll get better and return.

To work as soon as possible and do a proper job.

And now, Katase-san, would you say a few words to everyone?

Due to personal reasons,

I have to stop working

My apologies for troubling everyone at work.

Visit us in #Japan-TV @ Aniverse & ETG

That's great. I'd like to take a long break too.

How long are you going to be in the hospital?

I still don't know.

Ah, I should go visit you in the hospital.

Maybe there's a doctor who's still single and a nice person.

Speaking of which, you should stop going around with that guy from the bicycle shop

and look for a doctor instead!

Yuki! Is this all you have?

Yes.

take you home.

What about your work?

Don't worry.

I'm more worried about you having to go home with all this rather than about work.

Hm? Ah, you think I'm a busybody right?

No...

I was thinking that you're always so nice.

What are you saying?

The weather's great today. The laundry would dry in no time on a day like this.

Oh no! I forgot the laundry Chika asked me to do! Ah, never mind.

Lately she's been a slave driver.

Well, I guess it's tough on her, getting bigger with the baby.

I really wanted to see Chika's and Hiroto's baby.

After the baby's born, come over and see it anytime.

As long as the baby's strong and healthy...

Ah, doesn't have to be strong or healthy,

just as long as it's born. For now at least.

Don't mind me. You don't have to worry about that.

Who says I'm worrying?

No such thing.

A low cloud, outstretched, on a winter night.

As if in a dream, you passed away...

He said he would go to ocean this year, too...

Shall we go to the beach this year? Or to the movies?

Natsuo.

I've got a favor to ask.

Although it wasn't for very long, you worked hard. Good job.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

What's wrong?

I've got a favor to ask. I've got to stay in the hospital the day after tomorrow right?

Before that, I'd like to stay over at Natsuo's house.

Eh?

Can I go tomorrow?

But, what about Natsuo?

I've spoken to him about it already.

He said that if it was ok with you, that I could go over anytime.

But...

It's not just the two of us alone. His younger sister Chika-chan and...

I'm not worried about that.

Rather it's your health.

I trust NatsuoWell, sort of.

Thank you very much.

Make sure everything is spotless and shining. Yuki might stay over tomorrow.

You could've told us earlier!

Aniki always does things suddenly.

Natsuo-san never thinks about other people.

Stop chattering! Move those hands!

Hey!

How many times do you intend to wipe the floor without cleaning the rag?

Clean the rag properly!

Chika-chan, make sure you arrange the flowers in the toilet

Yes, yes.

And in front of Yuki, don't talk about her illness.

Medication, surgery, and all the words about one's heart.

Especially you.

know.

Yes. You don't say a word.

The moment you talk, everything comes out.

This is Shinoda's. Yes, I'll get him now.

It's Yuki's...

Hello, it's me. What did your Dad say?

Even if he objects, figure out something and come over, we'll be waiting.

It's me.

Me?

It's her father!

That's what I was about to say!

What should I do?

I don't know!

I don't know! Don't come here!

Hello?

I just heard from my daughter.

If you...

I mean Katase-san objects,

Then it's ok.

Didn't you say to figure out something and come over?

Ah no, figure out... Da, ah, Katase-san.

Natsuo-kun. Take good care of Yuki.

Looks like she's going to stay over tomorrow.

Really?

understand! We'll take good care of her.

I'll let her talk to you.

Hello?

Yuki...

So that's it. be coming over tomorrow.

We'll be waiting

What time?

Anytime's fine. come over and pick you up.

It's ok. If you keep taking off everyday, you can't get any work done.

But I worry... eh? Not.. Not allowed?

Not allowed to come over? Yuki-chan!

I want to go! I want to go!

He's really a worrier.

He'll never change.

I'll wait for you at the pumpkin place.

It's getting dark here.

This is fine right here.

She arrives, and then...

Why isn't she here yet?

It's strange. She's still not here.

should've gone to pick her up after all.

Yes? Ouch!

Got you!

That hurt. My nose!

What are you doing here with that thing?

Ah...

You stopped working and came to look for me? no

No, no that's not it.

I was just volunteering to pump air for anyone coming by.

I did that for him just now. Thanks!

Oh I see.

Chika and the others will be back in a little while.

We were thinking of moon watching tonight.

Moon watching?

Natsuo!

Welcome.

The tire's punctured again.

take a look at it.

Hurry since I'm on my way delivering this.

Excuse me, I'd like to take a look at the children's bicycles.

The children's bikes are all inside, please take a look.

Ahh!! Stop!

Hiro-kun!

I'm sorry.

Is, Katsuragi Yuki coming?

Good afternoon. The brake on my bicycle isn't working.

Please wait a moment.

Can my child try it out?

Welcome. Which one would you like to try out?

Yuki, I'll take care of it.

It's ok.

Really? Thanks.

You've got yourself a good woman!

A cute wife!

She's not my wife.

What are you saying?

Where are you going?

All done.

Thanks.

It's been a long time since I wore a yukata.

You look great in a yukata!

Think so?

So do you.

Really? Feels like a little kid.

The yukata you're wearing was my mother's so it's not as bright.

It's Natsuo-kun's mother's...

The rice has to spread out like that.

Hurry up, will you fan properly?

There are four seasons in Japan. Starting off with Shogatsu (New Year).

There's the Hinamatsuri (Girl's festival) at the beginning of spring.

There's Tanabata in summer, and in autumn, there's otsukimi (Moon watching).

There's too many events.

What did you say?

I said there's too many events.

What...

We always make chirashizushi for moon watching don't we, aniki?

Yes, yes. Dad used to prepare this for us.

Really?

The taste is essential, have to get the amount of vinegar right.

Let me try some.

It's delicious! This is great!

Then let's start!

Chirashi...

I like eggs a lot.

You've taken too much! Think of the others!

That's mean

We bought them. Any complaints?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Good timing! We were just about to start.

How does it look?

It looks strange?

You mean she looks great?

It's nice isn't it. Makes me think that it feels great to be born in Japan.

The moon's really beautiful.

When I was a kid and heard from my mother that the rabbit would make rice cakes on the moon,

I thought wow.

Just to make rice cakes, it went all the way to the moon.

All that trouble. I thought it was fantastic.

I want to believe that too.

Really?

If you do that you'll have dreams.

That's true.

I wonder why Yuki came over.

Well, she's going into the hospital isn't she?

But to stay over?

A summer experience?

It's autumn already.

What are you doing?

Just checking up on the two of them.

Don't do that!

Stop!

Don't worry!

Good timing

What are you doing?

We're not doing anything.

Nothing!

We didn't see you kiss or anything so don't worry.

You guys were peeping weren't you!

Sorry!

Just at that moment too.

Really a rowdy bunch, won't even keep it down.

At least be a little quiet while moon watching.

I'm glad.

That I could stay over at your home before I go into the hospital.

just got one more good memory to keep.

Ever since I met you, every time we meet, I've only gotten more and more good memories.

Um... I've got to go to the toilet.

Sorry. Sorry.

What's wrong?

Aniki, you're crying?

I'm not.

Then why are you in here?

Looking at Yuki,

I feel so sad.

Once she goes into the hospital, she doesn't know when she's ever going to come out.

It's so tough for her, yet she's smiling all the time.

And I can't do a single thing for her.

What are you all doing in here?

Natsuo-san, what shall we do with Yuki-chan's futon?

Yuki's futon?

Is it ok if we put hers next to yours?

Or will you be sharing one together?

Idiot! Of course Yuki's going to sleep in Chika's room tonight.

What are you thinking of.

Ah, but Yuki-chan said that she was going to spend the night in your room.

Eh?

Come on, don't kid.

We're not, it's for real.

Natsuo.

Hm?

Let's do this together again next year.

Natsuo?

Hm?

Can I move closer to you?

Lately, I haven't been able to sleep well.

Yuki?

Even when I fall asleep, I'll wake up in the middle of the night.

I think, maybe I won't ever wake up again. I get scared.

Don't worry.

When that happens, I'll set the alarm clock for you.

And what if I don't wake up even then?

Then I'll wake you up.

keep clanging on a bucket next to your ear.

Hold my hand.

want you to hold it tightly.

So that I don't go anywhere.

Alright.

Natsuo?

You'll stay by my side forever?

Sleep tight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

There's no TV here. Shall I go borrow one?

Even a game or something when you get bored.

How are you doing? Got your things sorted out?

Please take good care of Yuki.

Yes, I will take good care of her.

Thank you.

The doctor said he'd like to see you in his room.

Alright

Then I'll stay here and upack your things.

Thank you.

Yuki-chan, sit in the wheelchair

Eh?

From now on we need to relieve the burden on your heart.

But, I can still walk.

Just within the hospital.

But...

Alright, I know. I'll give you a piggyback ride.

You don't like riding in a wheelchair right? So get on.

Alright, I'll use the wheelchair.

Yuki, take your necklace off.

Ok.

We're off.

See you later.

I've seen the results of Yuki's medical report. It's worse than we thought.

If left alone and she suffers another attack, she can't be saved.

I want to take Yuki to America with me.

I want to let her have the surgery there. take care of all the expenses.

I want to take care of Yuki forever.

Take her with you. Please take care of her.

Are you sure that's ok, Natsuo?

I've been thinking over what you said before.

What I can actually do for Yuki.

But I don't have any money. can't help cure her either.

No matter what I think, I haven't got that power.

That's why I've decided that I'm going to leave her with you.

The one that Yuki needs right now isn't me.

I believe it's you, a doctor.

Please save Yuki.

You're sure it's ok?

Yes.

Please.

Welcome.

Natsuo-san.

I'm back.

Sorry, leaving you to do all the work.

It's ok.

Welcome back. How's Yuki-san?

She's checked into the hospital.

Welcome back, aniki.

I'm not going to bother with dinner or a bath today. Goodnight.

I wonder what's wrong.

Yuki-chan.

What do you think of having the surgery in America?

Eh?

It would be at the same hospital Yukari-chan when to.

Right now, we're checking if it's possible.

But the expenses...

We'll take care of the medical expenses.

It's got nothing to do with the hospital. We're personally paying for it.

This is Seiji's suggestion.

You're really important to Seiji.

He's really thinking about the future together with you.

Right?

Why are you hesitating? Isn't it a good offer?

Yuki-chan.

It's your last chance, I think you should accept it.

Yuki-chan!

I was thinking of rejecting it.

Yuki!

There's no reason to get Seiji-san to pay all that money.

If I get that from him, I'll never be able to pay him back.

But that's just Seji's good intentions.

I'm really sorry. But that's just Seji's good intentions.

I can't think of a future with Seiji-san.

But your life depends on this!

Yuki, think about it a bit more? You're just 20 years old.

I don't think you should decide just because of what you feel right now.

That's right. Your life is just beginning. Think about it!

don't even know what's going to happen right now.

If I have another attack,

it'll be the end. All I can think about is what I feel now.

My feelings for Natsuo, I love him, that's all.

I want to be true to my feelings.

I have Natsuo beside me. I have Natsuo.

Are you alright?

Yuki. Are you alright?

I have Natsuo.

Calm down.

Come in.

Hi.

You're earlier than usual.

It's lunch time so I'm taking a break. I was thinking of spending the day with you.

Keep running! Keep running!

I lost!

Come on, come on!

Dodge ball... ...

What?

It's dangerous you know.

But you're so bad at it.

Be quiet! Speaking of which,

I'm thirsty.

give you a treat.

Thank you.

I want this.

Guys drink the melon flavor.

No way!

I've been having strange dreams lately.

What kind?

Well, when you sit in a wheelchair you don't get enough exercise right?

I dreamt that you got really really fat.

You're mean! The least you could do is dream that the both of us went swimming in the ocean

or something.

Become a mermaid?

I would like to, but I can't.

can't. I really can't.

But, as long as I can be with you in my dreams, that's great.

Yuki-chan.

Yukari-chan.

You can walk now!

Yup. Yuki-chan, you're sick?

What kind of sickness?

The same as yours.

Then why don't you go to America and get better too?

No, I'll stay here in this hospital and get better.

Wow!

I won! One more game?

I think it's better if you get some rest. You're tired aren't you?

No, not really.

But that's enough for today.

How boring.

Look here!

You always fall for it.

Yuki. Go with Seiji-san to America.

If it's Seji-san, he'll save you for sure.

You knew about that?

But I'll turn it down. I'll stay here with you.

Go with Seiji-san.

Natsuo?

It's stupid to turn down something like that.

And Seiji-san's really thinking about you.

Why are you saying that?

You said before didn't you, that there were many kids who couldn't live even if they wanted to.

That the most important thing in this world is life.

If that's the case then why are you turning it down?

Is it ok with you?

Is it ok with you that I go with Seiji-san?

don't want to!

I want to be with you.

As long as you're around, I'm not afraid to die.

If...

If because of me, you don't want to live anymore,

I'll definately regret meeting you.

Don't say that.

I've got so many good memories of us.

You'll make more good memories from now on.

You'll make more from now on if you try.

It doesn't matter who's beside you.

As long as you're healthy that's all that matters.

Then what about my feelings?

I love you so much.

It's the same with me.

But...

When I think of this world without you in it,

I can't stand it. I can't take it.

You understand don't you, Yuki?

Don't do this to me.

I want you to live.

For your sake

For mine too.

Bye.

What about our promise?

You said that we'd go see the summer snow together.

What about that promise?

I'm sorry.

Seiji-kun.

Take care of Yuki.

I willThe surgery will be a success

and we'll return together with Yuki healthy.

Yuki-chan, make sure you write.

And don't worry about your father, look after him.

Please.

That's great isn't it Dad?

Please do your best.

Of course.

think it's time we get going.

All the best Yuki. I can't go with you because of work

but I'll wait for you here.

I'm back.

Welcome back. I'm back.

Look, I got the health book today.

So how's everything?

Going well.

see, I see.

I'm going to make dinner now.

I've got your favorite today.

You really know me.

Oni-chan.

Are you sure it's ok not seeing her off?

YeahShe's together with Seiji-san so there's no need to worry.

But I think Yuki would like to see you

before leaving Japan.

I'm sure she's thinking that she'd like you to encourage her.

It'll take about 12 hours to get to Los Angeles. When we arrive it'll just be dawn.

Oh.

We'll take a taxi and go to the beach. The ocean's really beautiful there.

What's wrong?

Yuki-chan?

I...

...can't go.

Seiji-san I'm sorry.

You've come all this way already what are you saying?

I love Natsuo.

No matter how long a time I live, if it's not with Natsuo it won't do!

If Natsuo's not with me there's no reason for living!

I want to be with Natsuo!

Yuki! Don't run!

Natsuo, I'm coming now.

Yuki-chan!

Call an ambulance!

Someone call an ambulance!

Yuki! Hang in there!

Yuki-chan!

Yuki! Yuki-chan!

Natsuo!

I'm home.

Sorry I'm late. help out right away.

Oni-chan! Jun-nichan won't go buy the tofu for me!

I've got to study!

What's wrong with just doing that for me, right oni-chan?

Oni-chan?

Yuki?

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

ME
