Sure are an idiot...

We are only at the beginning,

but I am no longer a human of this world.

He was actually a very stupid man.

Jakujakutei Yuujin

was his stage name.

I will just go ahead and say it.

He didn't even have the slightest bit of talent.

I've never seen any of our guests

laugh at any of his stories.

I'm not sure if his time was just up or not

but he got married and had a baby

and before he could take another step forward, he got hit by a car and bid us farewell.

Without ever giving us a punchline.

A storyteller who died without ever making anybody laugh...

He's speaking of me pretty harshly,

but there was a guest who laughed at my stories.

Just one.

They're so scary!

Manjuu are so scary!

This is red bean paste, isn't it?

Too scary!!

Sorry, sorry!

Let me have a look at this development!

Excuse me!

What made you laugh?

You were doing your best.

"I want to die."

...is what crossed my mind.

Or..

Maybe it was "I want to kill her."

At first, stairs were...

This girl is named Saya.

I learned afterward

that she is unfortunate at every turn.

After my parents died, I started living with my grandmother.

She raised me.

She lost her parents pretty early,

and her grandmother died 5 years ago.

She had even just recently lost her final relative - her aunt.

I think I wanted to laugh. Anything was fine, so:

It's the same for me.

My parents are gone, too.

I'm also alone in this world.

I fell for her, you see.

She's a girl who laughed because I was trying my best.

I think I wanted her to keep laughing for me.

And I got the courage to come down from Kiyomizu's stage.

From Takasago

sailing over the bay

the moon goes out with the tide.

We had the wedding ceremony at the Master's house.

I got well wishes from superiors and the Master.

Even had a child somehow.

But right as I thought life was getting good

this got in my way.

The driver opened his mouth pretty wide in surprise.

I don't hold it against him.

It was my fault, too.

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

I'm an idiot, too.

I've left Saya on her own again.

I grew to like her

and liked her more and more and more

and more and more and more and more and more and more until.

"Jakujakutei" means a lonely...

we got to this point.

But, for his sake,

and because we don't need to be so gloomy,

I will instead tell you one of my stories.

In the past,

I was struck by lightning in another town.

But, like a miracle, I came back to life.

Ever since then, I've been able to see ghosts.

You're okay you're okay! It's alright! You don't need to cry.

I made him cry!

It's hopeless if it's not me or Yuu-chan.

Oh, okay, then I'll hold the photo.

What's wrong?

There, there.

There there.

You're okay.

I'm sorry, Yuusuke.

I've left you fatherless.

This guy sure can talk.

Can he really see ghosts?

Oh, there's also this...

Maybe he's just lost his marbles?

He, at one point, wanted to eat Strawberry filled...

Whatever he's doing,

he's not talking like I've gone to heaven.

This isn't good.

Moron!

You're the wife, right?

Yes.

How do you plan to provide for the child?

The hell is he saying out of the blue?

You can't have much savings from his performances.

Working while carrying this child would be too hard.

Leave her alone! It's none of your business.

Uh.. who are you?

Yuutarou's dad.

Father?

He's a hateful bastard, isn't he? Still kicking around.

With that look..

He told you his parents are dead, didn't he?

Sounds like something he'd say.

A-are you really...?

Say it! "I won't accept you as my parent!"

I will take the child.

Huh?

If he wishes for it,

I will have him take over my business one day.

Well, in a place like this.. That kind of discussion is..

Even though you abandoned my mom and I, you want Yuusuke to take over?!

Damn this guy, just how deep does his greed go?!

It's started to rain. Can I have the car brought here?

Please.

Okay.

Ah, thank you very much.

You're so dense. Can't you tell?

Tell what?

Definitely thick. You got me. You don't know?

It's me, me!

Yes. You helped him a lot while he was alive.

Hey, give it up.

I'm the one you love!

Come on, I haven't even been dead for a week!

You're a woman of weak sentiment, huh.

It's me!

The Yuutarou you fell for!

Thank you for trying to comfort me.

But I can't laugh at a joke like that.

Yeah. I suppose you couldn't.

I wonder why you can't?

Wait, no!

We've made baby Yuu cry!

What's wrong? Okay, okay okay, what is it?

Going up! Going up! Going up!

Going up! Going up! Going up!

Going up! Going up! Going up!

Going up! Going up! Going up!

You're in high spirits now! High spirits!

Okay, okay.

Yuu-chan?

Yes, that's right. That looks to be the case.

I've been trying to tell you that.

I'm burning pretty well, aren't I, Saya?

Humans sure live a fleeting existence.

Uh-ohhhh.

This isn't the time to be talking like this.

Saya, look, that..

We need to get out of here before Dad finds us.

Wait, hold on. Explain all of this!

Please.

What are you saying now?

You said your parents were dead. That you were alone in this world.

That's.. you know.

They're not dead, right?

Your dad is alive, right?

Yuu-chan!

Yes, yes, yes.

Sorry. Sorry!

Anyway, we have to go!

He plans to take away Yuusuke!

Are you okay with that?

That..

What should I do?

Heyyy!

Saya-san isn't feeling too well!

Could you take her home early?

Yuu-chan, should I wait for you at home?

You can't stay there! He'll catch you.

Then what should I do?

You need to go somewhere nobody knows about.

There isn't really anywhere...

It'll be fine - take this.

This isn't my money.. but don't worry about it.

It's fine. Wait, huh?!

My whole body just got itchy!

It seems I can't stay for long. But you need to get going!

Take care of Yuusuke! Okay? I'm counting on you!

Hey! Go ahead!

Itchy.. itchy.. itchy...!

I tried many times after that,

but I couldn't take over anybody else's body.

Yeah.

It may have just been one lucky fluke.

I'm so close to her

but I can't even talk to her.

For the time being,

I guess all I can do is treat myself to some sight seeing.

Twilight: Saya in Sasara.

Sasara. Sasara. This is the last stop.

Sasara..

We're here, Yuusuke.

What is she even doing?

Are you okay? I can do it for you.

Ah, thank you very much.

It's been quite a long time since my aunt died,

but you've been maintaining the house.

Yeah, I suppose.

This isn't a place for young people to live.

Bugs like to come out.

Weeding is a real pain, too.

Um..

What?

Uh, well..

What is it?

Isn't he just hungry?

The baby.

What are you doing? You can't just come in here.

You're the one who should leave.

It's the baby's feeding time.

Do you want to see the young lady's breasts?

Poor thing, you must be so hungry.

There, there..

She'll feed you now!

He was very hungry, wasn't he?

Sorry.

Back in my day, we could even do this on the train.

That's a little..

You should treasure times like this.

It's when you're closest to your children.

It all comes to an end later.

Okay.

So, what will you do?

I have nowhere else to turn.

Please let me stay here.

She's zoning out again.

How about you go for a walk sometimes?

No response when speaking to her.

Slow and steady, slow and steady.

Watch out, you'll hit it. You'll hit it!

Okay, hurry it up.

Thank goodness the rain stopped!

How many months old is he?

4 months.

So he's only just started being able to hold his own head up!

Can I come see?

Hi there!

So cuuute! Must be lonely being alone, though.

But at least you have this cute baby with you!

I'm so happy I might come and visit every day!

Oh, don't cry! What's his name?

Yuusuke.

Yuu-chan! Boo!

I'll kill you, you bastard. The hell are you doing?

Get over here, you lazy helper.

Isn't this too low?

Mom, a person from the government will be coming tomorrow

to grant us permission for you to receive nursing care.

Make sure you're home.

It'll be fine.

Did somebody..

...die recently?

Whose Ihai is this?

Let's make sure to talk in detail with the investigator tomorrow.

Landlady, there's a phone call.

Don't scare me like that.

I thought you were a ghost or something.

What is...?

I thought they'd be good stuff.

You dumbass!

H-h-h-hold on!

Sorry sorry sorry!

Seriously, I'm sorry!

Sorry sorry sorry!

Calm down!

I'm sorry! That hurts!!

Seriously.

Dipping his hands into other people's things..

He's so pathetic I might cry.

Sorry, sorry..

Sorry, sorry..

You're alright.. I'm sorry.

It's because you're doing it too worriedly.

Who are you?

Um..

Sorry, sorry!

Let me see.

Okay, okay, there there.

Babies are smart.

They know when their parents are nervous.

I know this because I have raised kids and grandkids.

There are no babies that hate bath time.

You're a tough one!

My husband was good at it.

"Was"?

He died in an accident.

Oh, I see..

Then.. that

wooden Ihai is..

Thank goodness!

I was looking for this! Thank you very much.

Um, actually..

My grandson..

Hold on.

Something's been bothering me for a bit.

Who is it?

You've been watching me.

You're so dense!

You know.. my Ihai

was really close to being left in some unknown altar.

You shouldn't be saying "Thank you".

You're too nice to people.

You threw my photo!

Yuu-chan!

Owww!

Yuu-chan!

Of all possibilities, why did it have to be an old person?

Owow, you're hurting my shoulder! Ow!

Owwwwww~.

That's so good.

Saya's rice really is good.

If that's true, then I'd like you come by twice a week.

Don't be crazy.

I've been through a lot to finally find a body.

It seems like

I can only take over people who can see me.

And only once.

Once?

Yeah.

It's like.. they become immune.

So it seems I can't take over someone a second time.

So it's like influenza or chicken pox?

Don't compare me to bacteria!

Do you want seconds?

Thank you!

But this is..

A really boring place, though.

Like a place monsters could come from.

You're right!

But everyone around here is trying helping me out.

The attendant at the train, the real estate agent, and the neighbor are very nice.

You're sooo dense!

This is why I couldn't get to heaven.

Listen

that real estate agent...

Hey.

There's things I want to say, too.

What is it?

You already know. Your dad.

That again?

Why wouldn't you tell me?

I died right when I thought to tell you.

You're always like that.

You're always talking, but you put off the important things.

Hey, hey.

That's you!

When it gets a little warmer, we should go to an onsen!

Where should we go? Yufuin?

Yufuin?!

Well.. maybe Kinugawa. Yeah.

I suppose so. We don't have a lot of money.

Well, if its 2 days 1 night..

We're having a child, too.

Yeah.. a child would be..

A child?!

Isn't something like that the first thing you should tell me when I get home?

You left it until we're talking about a trip.

The timing wasn't right for me to be happy about it!

You were pretty happy about it, though.

We didn't even end up going on that trip.

Costs for the child birth took priority!

No, the one who left out the important things was

you, Yuu-chan.

Alriiiight!

We go to the onsen once Yuusuke can hold up his own head!

Where should we go? Kinugawa? Kusatsu?

No, way too close!

Since we're finally going to do it, let's go further!

Then.. Hokkaido?

Can we at least stay on the main island?

I suppose so. We don't have a lot of money.

We'll make it a day trip.

No way! I'm finally getting a lead role

so we'll go grand and have 2 days 1 night!

I suppose so. It's the leading role.

What do you mean, "leading role"?

Shouldn't you tell me something like that the moment I get home?

Saying it so nonchalantly like that.

The timing wasn't right for me-

You liar! You're lying!

You didn't even understand what I meant by "leading role"!

You didn't get to be the lead in the end, anyway.

Can't really help it because I died.

We didn't go on the trip, either.

Can't really help that because I died.

And you said you'd look for a smaller baby carriage.

I died so there's nothing I can do about it!

But Yuu-chan, you always...

Let's stop!

We shouldn't have a lovers' quarrel after my death.

I wanted to have more of them.

When you make a face like that

I don't feel like I want to go to heaven.

We weren't even truly husband and wife yet.

I didn't even know your father was alive.

Married couples always have 1 or 2 secrets.

You're too attached to the fantasies.

Is this really okay?

I don't know the family.

Can I really be Yuusuke's mother?

What are you going to do feeling so doubtful?

Tell me.

What happened between you and your dad?

He..

Abandoned my mother.

She got ill and collapsed, and he wouldn't even come see her.

My poor mother.

She died without ever telling him of her resentment.

That man is nothing, let alone my parent!

Listen, Saya.

Try calling him dad.

With me gone, he'll tie you up, wrap you up in bamboo, throw you into a wagon..

Yuu-chan, are you itchy?

Itchy itchy itchy!

It's the same as with the Master!

Do you have to go already?

I can't stop it!

I can't handle it!

Yuu-chan, when you will come back again?

I have no idea!

That scared me! Hey!

No, that's not...! Uh!

What am I..

Doing here?

She has started wandering around.

I need to apologize to you.

My grandson did something so troublesome.

I'm truly sorry.

You told me last night. The problem is already solved.

Have I really..

Grown senile?

You have clearly gone senile.

Hisayo-chan?

Someone you know?

Someone she can't do away with.

It seems that

I need to apologize to you, as well.

I was living here until 3 days ago.

That real estate agent has always been a brat.

I never thought I'd be tricked by my own student.

Hisayo-chan used to be a middle school teacher.

She has a lot of students in this town.

Tamako!

You know,

that real estate agent.

After your aunt died

he started leasing this house to her without telling you.

He was leaving out that this is somebody else's house.

If you knew, why didn't you tell her right away?

That's not at all fun.

That real estate agent

has a bad reputation. Hisayo-chan didn't know, though.

I'm very sorry.

I'll make sure that he returns all of the rent until now to you.

No, it's fine.

Do you all know eachother?

We've been close since our time in the girl's schools.

Close?

I am thoroughly surprised.

Exactly when did we become close friends?

Excuse me, it looks like he woke up.

I'm going to see.

So cute!

Well, for now, he belongs to his mother.

This is the happiest time.

You're thinking of your son who left 10 years ago~.

Stop it, Tamako.

Keep a lid on it. You haven't even had a child.

You don't have to have a child to see how cute they are!

Why are you shutting me out again?

We're good friends, right?

I'm sorry!

Okay, okay okay.

What's wrong? What is it?

That kid is too loud!

It's bothering other people.

Way too loud.

I'm sorry.

Don't run away every time.

Have a look.

That old man

has been grumpy his entire life.

He's never even cried!

Isn't that amazing, Daiya?

What are you saying? You bitch!

I don't want to hear it from a dumb-faced old man reading a horse racing newsletter in the middle of the day.

I'll apologize. I'm sorry.

I'll get off at the next station.

I'm very sorry. I'm sorry.

How are things at home?

He never speaks.

Is there anyone in your neighborhood you can rely on?

Is it possible you're driving your child into a corner?

There are many young mothers.

It would be best to quickly fix a problem that can stress the child.

He will be greatly influenced by what you do.

You need to do your best.

I want to quit!

I want to work at a station in the city!

I think about it a lot lately!

There's no young people here!

I can't meet anybody!

Okay, okay, you can't sleep here.

You fall asleep easily, Sano-kun.

Are you listening, Erika-san?

Can I really go on like this?

Is this life enough for me?

The bottle is empty, Sano-kun.

Okay, prease get me another.

I said "prease"!

"Prease"!

"Prease get me another"!

Suzuki Haruko-chan! Come this way.

7..

70.5!

Okay!

He's gotten pretty big!

I've been breast feeding him a lot since I moved.

Really?

Babies drink their mother's love while they breastfeed.

It's their proof you love them.

Yes!

Okay, now the doctor is going to have a look at you!

See you soon, Yuusuke-kun!

Byebye!

You're trying to say it's my fault, right?!

How about you just say it?

Beating around the bush pisses me off.

You've been

trying to say I'm neglecting him, right?

I haven't said that.

It is our job to ask these questions.

I told you!

I've been having him see doctors!

Stop screwing me around.

We're leaving, Daiya.

Excuse me!

Wait!

Please wait!

What do you want?

Sorry.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

I'm sorry, but I want us to become friends.

There's no kids in my neighborhood.

So I'd like it if Daiya-kun would be Yuusuke's friend.

Yuusuke might still be too young for Daiya-kun, though.

You're happy, aren't you?

With a loving family.

I'm envious.

You're just looking down on me and showing me pity!

Not at...

Don't look down on me!

My husband died!

In a traffic accident 2 months ago.

But it's okay.

He's still around.

He sometimes takes over other people to see me.

That's where I work.

I'll introduce you to a friend.

Thank you!

Welcome!

Hello.

Um.. This is a wonderful shop.

You don't need to force yourself. Have a seat.

Excuse me.

Huh?

I've.. I've..

I've met you before, right?

Wow!

At the station!

Yes!

Thank you for your help back then.

Oh, you know eachother? Then we can skip the formalities!

This is Sano-kun.

And this is Saya-san and Yuusuke-kun!

She's seriously crazy cute!

I wouldn't introduce you to a strange woman.

Erika-san, you get me!

My armpits are sweating like hell.

Sano-kun is a good guy. He's nice, and doesn't do anything shady when he drinks.

So hey. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it.

How about hanging out with Sano-kun as friends to start?

Wait a minute!

Hold on!

I was very happy you invited me here

but I shouldn't have come.

Do you want to keep living in the past?

Please just stop.

How long do you want to say dumb things like there being a dead person watching over you?

I am an idiot!

I know that about myself.

But..

Yuu-chan is really here.

He's watching over us right this moment.

You're..

It's the truth.

He comes to visit me.

You need to get rid of delusions like...

Erika-san.

Erika-san, can you throw them away that easily?

People you've loved?

I can't do it.

I'm not strong like you.

Goodbye.

You're so dense!

Erika-san isn't strong at all.

She's raising this child all by herself.

Working day and night.

Without being able to rely on her parents.

After however many years, she's never opened herself up.

Isn't that right, Erika-san?

Who.. are you?

Me? I'm..

Um.. Erika-san,

this is hard to say, but..

Basically

this is my husband.

Erika-san? Erika-san!

I wonder why?

First an old man then an old lady.. Now a kid.

Yuu-chan, help me!

Damn Yuusuke, he's completely changed sides.

They said he's doing very well. He'll even be sitting soon.

I've come to understand a mother's feelings recently.

What was your mom like?

She was a good person.

She raised me in a fatherless home.

I've seen her go through terrible hardships.

That's why I told myself I wouldn't be a man like him.

I'd have liked to have met her.

You've started to remind me of her, Saya.

Really?

I want to ask your dad a lot of things, too.

He's scary,

but I want to hear about your mom, and you as a child.

You came here to get away from him.

Do you understand that?

But.. there's no parent who thinks their child isn't...

This. Conversation. Is. Over.

You trust people too much.

But if I don't hear your dad's side..

Even blood relation can't help everyone see eye to eye on everything.

But.

Right, Erika-san?

I think so, too.

Just being parent and child isn't enough.

I.. love my child.

But I don't really understand what he thinks.

This child is straight forward.

He understands his mom's feelings.

This child is always looking out for his mom, you see.

That's a lie.

It's not.

Do you not understand

why this child stopped talking?

That is..

It's because his mom stopped smiling.

That's what he says.

He was watching.

When his dad turned toward violence.

When you were always crying.

Even after his dad left,

you still always seemed hurt.

No way..

This child doesn't know, either.

He doesn't know what to do.

He was troubled. Perplexed.

He just stood still and stopped talking.

I'd never know that if he doesn't tell me!

You don't need to worry.

He'll eventually voice his thoughts.

Daiya..

So you have to smile and wait until that happens.

Itchy.. itchy...

Itchy!

Itchy.. itchy...!

Hello.

Hello.

Hello!

How long are you going to run away?

Father?

How do you know this number?

Saya-san.

I have nothing left but that child.

For now..

Maybe you should stay at Onacchan's inn?

That's fine by me.

Thank you very much.

Nooo! I'll get lonely. Can I come, too?

Why do you need to come?

It's pointless.

He'll figure out where you are no matter where you go.

That's awful!

That makes him like a peeping tom or a stalker!

What? I'm different.

Hey hey hey, these pickled vegetables are great.

Who made them?

Maybe you should ask the police?

One of my students is a police officer.

You can't trust the police these days.

You geezers get so persistent in your old age.

You bring up your out of date values

and say old and tired things like "kids these days".

They come to this place in droves.

Erika-san, that's..

You know.

Don't sit there and then blurt out whatever you want.

Give it a rest.

Is it that bad to be aging?

You'll get older soon, too.

What's with that self-important tone?

That's why people hate you.

Who hates me? When?

Erika-san, stop.

You need to drop the teacher act.

You bring up your old students right away

but it's troublesome for us.

Even your students hated you.

Your son's wife hated you.

Your son left you.

Erika-san.

You went and told, huh.

I didn't lie.

Saya-san.

I am disgusted with your husband.

Your husband didn't get along with his dad so you came here, right?

If I were the dad, I'd want to hire a detective or start a police search.

That's the most obvious thing to do.

Hisayo-chan. Stop.

No, I can't stop.

This is punishment for not knowing a parent's feelings.

He's troubling his wife even after his death.

That makes him the worst kind of husband.

Good e'en!

"E'en" is oooold!

Spin and turn and Good E'en!

Huh?

Hisayo-chan!

Huh?

I'm going on break.

Oka~y.

I'm going to go buy a bentou.

Oka~y.

Everyone seems to be having trouble suddenly.

If I protected Saya-san in some cool sort of way

we might start dating and stuff!

I want to date her!

You're an idiot.

Hello. Good afternoon.

You're saying everything you're thinking.

Did I say that out loud?

You said it all out loud!

Too close! Thank goodness Saya-san didn't see that.

Saya-san.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Are you on your way home?

No, I'm on break right now.

Running into Saya-san like this...

today is a good day!

What were you doing?

I was leaving a gift. Sharing what we've earned.

That's so upstanding!

I've never thought about things like that. At! All!

He's crying, Saya.

He woke up. Sorry, excuse me.

Great!

She's great!

Beautiful people are beautiful no matter what they're doing!

What the hell are you saying about other people's wives?

You're really an idiot!

I wonder where your mom has gone?

Alright, how about this?

Going up! Going up! Going up!

Yuu-chan?

Huh? Yuu-chan?

Aren't you Yuu-chan?

Drop the jokes.

Yuu-chan is..

He's been crying for a while. I think you should feed him.

Whoa, whoa, hold on!

Hey!

Hey hey hey hey HEY!

Stop!

Saya! Are you...

Hey, don't point that at me!

It's me! Me!

You who?

Are you.. if I say me, that's me!

Who are you, Sano-san?

Me!

This is turning into something really weird!

Yuu-chan?

Hey! You! Who are you?

What do you call yourself?

Uh, I'm.. Kawada Yoshio.

Kawada Yoshio? The hell is that?!

"The hell is that".. it's.. Uh, where is my mom?

This is my house!

It was my aunt's house.

Huh? This is.. strange. Uh..

I got a New Years greeting card from this address..

Huh? A greeting card?

Are you.. Hisayo-san's son?

Yes! Hisayo is my mom!

This is my mom's house, right?

So that's what this is!

What the hell..

She's left here already, God dammit!

Um..

Then.. uh.. sorry.

Where is my mom?

Hey, Saya.

Tell him where she is.

Okay.

It's been 10 years since I came to visit her.

I tried opening the door and it wasn't locked

and I heard a baby crying inside.

Here it is.

Thank you.

I've had a son, too.

I haven't told my mom yet..

I'm sorry for coming in on my own.

Hisayo-san has a grandchild now, then.

And because of that he had a peek at Yuusuke.

Having a child himself must have made him miss his mom.

I think about my parents sometimes ever since I had Yuusuke.

He's going to make up for 10 years' worth of time.

I wonder what'll happen to her frowning face?

Family can come to understand eachother with the passage of time.

Yeah.

Yuu-chan, you're an only child, too, right?

Huh? What? What are you thinking about?

I've decided.

I just decided.

What?

I'll meet your dad.

Huh?!

You are seriously an idiot! You...

I will have him accept that I am Yuusuke's mother.

I'll make him see that I can raise Yuusuke.

Stop stop stop stop stop stop!

He won't listen to anything you say!

We don't know that if we don't try.

I like it in Sasara.

I like the people who live here, too.

I want to raise Yuusuke here.

Saya..

Yuu-chan.

Let's all live here in Sasara.

That's why your dad needs to understand.

About you being a ghost, too.

There's still time. We can still get along.

It's too late.

Please believe in me.

Saya.

You've gotten stronger.

You've already

become a wonderful mother.

What's with you?

My job here is done.

My dying regret was that you couldn't stand on your own.

I don't have to worry anymore.

I think it's about time I go to heaven and see my mom.

I'll go try and make Enma-san laugh.

No, don't say things like that.

Yuu-chan!

Lets keep the farewells simple.

Saya.

I've figured out why your performances weren't funny.

What do you mean?

The reason they aren't funny. You just do whatever you want.

You just say whatever it is you want to say.

Even when we talk, you don't really follow anything I say.

How could someone like that entertain others?

What are you saying?

Do you know what this is? It's a farewell to this world!

But I figured it out!

Now isn't the time for figuring things out!

Listen to the feelings I have left over!

How much do you think it hurt that you left like that, you idiot?!

Damn, you've finally shown your true colors!

You hid behind that cute face of yours, you bigot!

Acting like that in the body of some pretty boy

is really reaching over your head, you curly-haired clown!

I'm not curly right now! I'm Sano!

I can actually see Yuu-chan!

This isn't fair.

You're not fair.

You're right.

If I think about it from your side..

I was being unfair.

Sorry.

You know.

There aren't any left.

People who I can take over.

People who can see me.

There aren't any more.

This man was the last one.

I wanted to save him for later.

He could see me more clearly than anyone else.

He could see me so clearly

he would greet me completely normally.

That's why

this will be the last time.

I won't be able to talk to you anymore.

I don't want this!

Stay here forever!

I..

I..

Wanted to stay with you both!

The 3 of us!

I wanted to live with you forever!

I didn't want to

leave my family behind like my dad did!

Tell Yuusuke once he's older.

"Your dad..

Always loved you!"

I wanted to be a good father..

Why..

Was I ever born into this world?

Let's not say anything sad.

Meeting you..

Being blessed with Yuusuke..

I'm happy they happened.

What you're saying isn't like you.

Don't think things like.

"I wish I was never born."

Saya..

Yuu-chan?

Are you okay?

What do I do?

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

No!

Yuu-chan! No!

You can't stop it.

No!

Right! What if we cool you down with ice? Okay?

Saya!

Thank you.

Having our lovers' quarrels was fun.

Did we

become a good enough couple?

I don't..

I wanted to go on a trip with you.

Yuu-chan..

I wanted to

make you laugh one more time.

Saya!

Yuusuke!

Take care of your mom!

Yuu-chan..

Use this.

This is a good picture!

Erika-san?

What?

I'm sorry about before.

If you'd like, you can use this.

It's a postcard.

Grandchildren are so cute!

I can't use something like this!

Who would I send it to and when?

Shhh! They're here! Here here here!

They're here! Here!

He's here! He's here!

He's quite a man.

I've got it.

Sorry for making you wait.

Should I get you a new tea?

Father.

Yuutarou-san never told me about his past.

Just that

when his mother got sick

you couldn't come see her.

What illness did she have?

What type of work do you do, Father?

I don't know anything about it

but it must be difficult work.

It's trivial work.

Anyway

I will raise the child.

I plan to work.

Stop it.

You will no doubt not be able to do it.

Excuse me.

I've been thinking lately

that this child has been raising me.

Helping me be a mother.

I don't have any memories of my parents.

I'd always longed for a family.

Warm... comforting.. and fun.

Like something out of a dream.

But

they're not like that, are they?

There's smiling and there's crying.

You can get irritated and give up.

That's every day.

Here.

Hold him.

Go ahead. He's your grandson.

No, that's..

It's your grandpa, Yuusuke.

Does he look like Yuu-chan?

Does he remind you of Yuu-chan when he was a baby?

I'll get some more tea.

Isn't he smiling?

He's smiling!

Your own grandchild just has to be cute!

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Huh?

Where's he going?

What's going on?

This is bad.

A thief?

Th...?

It's a kidnapping! A kidnapping!

Yuu-chan! Yuu...! Kidn...

What are you doing, Saya?!

He's been kidnapped!

He ran off!

Yuusuke!

Saya, you idiot!

Why did you take your eyes off him?!

Dad started to seem so gentle.

It's kidnapping!

Let's go back. We need to tell the police!

More running? I can't..

Yuusuke..

If he's with his grandfather, it's not a kidnapping.

Listen! I saw it happen with my own eyes!

I won't forgive you if you don't take this to the head officer!

He is my student, you see!

Why do you have to bring him into this?

It'll be fine.

A parent and child cannot be split apart so easily.

Saying nice things like that again..

I want to say things like that!

Hey! Hey!

What is it?

The hospital!

Hold on.

Hey! Get in the car!

Saya-san, do you not know how to contact them?

Hello? Father?

Yuusuke? Yuusuke!

How was he when the fever started?

Hello, this is Sasara Hospital. Doctor Sato?

Doctor Sato is in an examination.

I'm sorry.

Saya-san!

Are you alright?

Sano-san. Do you know where Sasara Hospital is?

Take me there. Please.

Is someth-

Please! Quickly!

Do you understand? You're at a hospital.

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

Yuu-chan!

Shibahara-san.

Shibahara Yuuichi-san.

How about asking the mother?

Was there an accident?

Where is Yuusuke?

No, it's..

Yuusuke got a fever.

Is everything alright? Is something wrong?

No.

It's nothing.

Hold on a minute.

This is..

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

Yuusuke.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I'm sorry for giving you a sad memory.

Saya-san.

He suddenly got a high fever.

He was convulsing.

So.. I brought him here.

I didn't.. mean to leave with him like that.

That's..

If you look at Yuusuke..

S-somehow..

I.. don't really understand, myself.

I am this child's mother.

I don't know my parents.

And I have no money.

Yuusuke might not be able to rely on me as a mother.

But

I will lay my life on the line to raise him.

So I beg you.

Don't take this child from me.

You're listening, right?

This is..

The first time since Yuusuke was born

that I've understood a parent's love for their children.

We got married

and I was finally able to understand, just a little, what family means.

Thank you.

From now on

I will make sure to protect Yuusuke.

I'm alright now.

Don't worry.

Truthfully, there was still one more.

One more person who could see me.

My son, Yuusuke.

He could see me from the very beginning.

But taking over my son who can't even talk...

I couldn't really consider it.

But I..

Wanted to feel a hug from my father one more time.

It surprised me.

I thought, "I need to tell Saya!"

I was so desperate.

But when they're in trouble

babies can't really use their hands or feet or voice.

There's a touch phone!

A call from Saya.

Saya? It's me!

Oh no!

How was he when the fever started?

I don't really know.

This child..

Is Yuusuke alright?

He's fine. He's fine!

It's because I took him over.

There's nobody who would figure that out.

Please save this child, Doctor!

Actually, before coming here

the two of us talked just the two of us for the first time.

What am I doing?

No kidding. I don't know what's going to happen to me.

What's that?

I came to see Saya-san.

This is her child.

He's cute, right?

He's Yuusuke-chan.

And this is your grandma.

Okay, okay! I got it! I got it!

Saya-san..

Looked like you.

Oh? You see it, too?

Don't smoke!

Yuutarou!

What?

I wanted to

hug you once more..

This is the first time I've seen this stone-faced man make this kind of face.

I thought he was a bloodless tearless straight-faced guy.

It wasn't your time to go, Yuutarou..

Why does everybody

leave me behind?

Why are you crying?

You're hot.. what is it, Yuusuke?

What's happening?

Suddenly, I remembered something.

There is a place that

my dad brought me to once.

That was.. the stage.

My dad was laughing.

An actor who can make this scary-faced man laugh

is amazing.

I thought that even at that age.

That might have been when I started wanting to be a performer.

It's become a pretty tough world, hasn't it?

There's accidents that make your hair stand up.

And strange stories you hear about all the time.

I can't help thinking that the strangest thing I've heard about

is our lives.

"... After all that, she had to die alone."

"I can't think that mom was happy."

"I don't want to become a person like you who throws away such an important person even when she's hospitalized due to illness."

"I hate you. I never want to see you again."

"Yuutarou."

Moron!

Yuu-chan.

Why are you laughing?

You were doing your best.

You are so dense.

There is nothing

and nobody more stupid

than me, Saya.

I didn't realize it

when Saya held me.

But that's fine.

Now that we're here,

I finally figured it all out.

At first, I thought she was gentle and trusted people too easily.

I thought I had this chance to stay longer

to protect the weak and undependable Saya.

But I misunderstood.

I think that this strange time

was somehow for my sake.

By having her meet all kinds of people,

hurting them and getting hurt by them,

and fixing things that were lost to time,

this town called Sasara

with a power we can't see

gave strength to Saya.

You'll be able to get by, Saya,

without me being able to come out.

You can be happy now.

So..

I'll be going soon.

After another 60 years..

Nah, much longer.

After Saya has become a fragile old lady

I'll see her again.

Pay close attention to what comes next for her.

Until that day comes,

let's bring my life to a close.

We've been waiting for you!

Papa.

Goodbye.
