The only way is a transplant.
That is the only way to save her.

Someone you'd met on the internet.
You take the words of such a fishy fella seriously?

We have to stay close.
A heart transplant is a race against time.

You're suicidal, right?
If that's the case, then die.

- Right now, let me see you die here!
- It will be deemed as an organ trade.

- Even if the donor himself allows it.
- There is always an exception to the rule.

It isn't a problem when it's the father
who wants to leave his daughter his heart.

Let's get married.

- Your voice... people are looking.

- Seriously, what on earth are you doing!?
- I'm just re-marrying. Is it that bad?

That is not what I am saying.
It's who you're marrying. Who.

It has been barely a week.
That mysterious fella.

We will be able to specify Sari as the heart's recipient.

You know that only as her father, can she receive it.
That's the plan.

Plan... what do you take marriage for?

- It is nothing but just a piece of paper.
You said that too, Kazu.

I did say that. But I only said that 'cause I am
bound to a wife that is making my life hell...

- I just need you to sign here as the witness.
- This is no joke.

I won't do it. No way. When General Manager finds out,
he will kill me for sure.

- This has nothing to do with that man.
- Yes it does!

Sorry.

Excuse me. One soda float and a strawberry shortcake.

- Thanks.
- Please enjoy.

Sis. This is really bad. Why don't you
talk it over with someone?

- Oh yeah. How about Aunt Massa ?
- I intend to meet her tomorrow.

- I need one more witness.
- Wait a minute...

... I told you. I am definitely not signing.

- Because he cannot be trusted?
- For certain, there must be a story behind it.

- I knew you'd say that...
- What's this?

- I had Dr. Kuroda checked it out.
- This belongs to that fella?

It's a brain tumor.

Eh?

It's unfortunate, but nothing more can be done about it.

Really?

That fella is not some suicidal person,
but a sick person?

But he is still so young...

Marriage? That's quite sudden.

Well, that's true.

It's a recent what-you-call-that?
A chance encounter and what-not.

That's about right.

- A grave ~.
- That's what it has been often called.

Marriage is the grave of life.

If it's a grave, then you can still have a long rest.

Yes.

"To halve one's rights and double one's duties."
* famous quote on marriage by Arthur Schopenhauer *

Won't happiness be doubled too?

Maybe.

Are you married?

I totally cannot remember.
Just like you.

- I have Alzheimer's too.
- I don't have Alzheimer's.

All brain illnesses are the same.

That's just unreasonable, to lump them all together.
Here you go.

I was dancing with my darling

to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

How many hundreds and thousands of times,
have I plied this route.

The ups and downs from my daughter's condition,
they have totally ruined my own health.

In the end, by trying not to think too much,
or feel too much...

... I don't know when, but bit by bit,
my expressions have stopped showing.

- Ah. Mama.
- What is it? The two of you seem to be having fun.

- It's a secret, right?
- Yes.

- My stomach hurts.
- Mine too.

What is this?

And now, it feels like I am drawn into some miraculous
atmosphere and I am now suffused with gaiety.

- You're late.
- Whassup!

- Don't you "whassup" me!
- Whassup!
- - Are you making fun of me?

- Do you think it's resignation?
- Resignation? As in giving up?

Yes. I've been told that I do not have long to live.

Sari-chan too, since she was old enough to understand,
she is conscious that death lurks around her.

Stop saying things like that.

Pardon me. But it's a fact, no?

- Well...
- Somehow, we have given up on ourselves.

... if not, we won't be able to act this way.

If we keep worrying about it,
we won't be able to act this way.

Yes.

There are times when giving up hope
makes one feel light hearted.

Sari too? Is she that way too?

With the two of us laughing
as if we hadn't a care in the world...

... without you realising it, you were also
laughing with us, right?

If that is the case, then I was imprudent.

What? I don't think it's anything bad.

When one laughs, it creates a positive
reaction within the brain.

It makes it think,
"this person, seems to be very happy now."

Somehow it feels like some self-improvement thing.

In the beginning, they were forced smiles, she said.

Sari-chan didn't want you to worry over her.

- She was practising to smile when by herself.
- No way...

Putting these 2 fingers on the sides of her mouth,
she opens them up to make a V sign.

Huh?

Those two, they came from upstairs just now.

- It's probably over the late night deliveries or something.
- No. If that's the case, they can do it at the shop.

- Perhaps they're living together.
- The age gap is there.

No no. She is such a beautiful woman,
I would wish that for myself too.

Speaking of which, you shouldn't be looking
at the owner with such lust-filled eyes.

Aah...could it be that you, at your age,
Usui-san, you are having a crush?

- That's not it!
- It's shocking. Why are you suddenly...

She is an unfortunate lady.

Re-marrying...

I...

Approve wholeheartedly.

- He is someone much younger than me.
- That's totally fine.

A woman's age needs to be balanced out
by that of the man's.

Otherwise she will age.

My dance partner earlier? That man is 12 years
younger than me.

But he is madly in love with me.

- Aunt Massa, you are just the same.
- You cannot live without romance forever.

Women must be in a romance till they die,
else they will not die looking beautiful.

Not love, but romance?

Love does not exist for women.
That is just emotions.

To be bound to another, and to wither away,
I abhor that kind of life.

Listen up. A woman is forever in the throes of
a heart-throbbing romance, or at the end of one.

Aunt Massa is an extremist.

No. She is really interesting.

- You, I can get along with you.
- This is a very splendid Home.

I pumped all the money from my husband's
life insurance into it.

Because it's my final abode. But, well,
if a good man invites me along...

...be it Africa or the Antartica, I intend to
follow him to the ends of the earth.

The convenience store used to be a liquor store
ran by Aunt Massa and my uncle.

Is that so?

As a mother, worrying over Sari, this child
had no time for anything else.

- She was divorced too.
- I am truly grateful.

Stop that already. Although we could have
sold off that place...

...if my husband's spirit makes an appearance,
then that will create trouble.

Oh yes. What was it?
You needed me to sign something, right?

Sorry to have to trouble you.

I hate it. Our eyesight is the only thing
that cannot be fixed with make up.

Can you come out for a while?

Okay.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

I have signed, as a witness, the marriage registration papers.

In the afternoon, Massa-san too, as the other person.

- You met her? She is aggressive, right?
- Yes.

It must have been shocking...

Your illness. That nothing could be done...

Well.

- Even I, a total stranger, was shocked.
- Is that so?

On top of that, to someone younger than me,
it seems implausible.

- Yes.
- That's not it...

I mean, it wasn't strictly just the shock.

From your own death...

... you want to give your heart to someone else.
It's your way of thinking.

Is it weird?

For someone to be like you, it's rare.
To be frank, it's really admirable, I feel.

Though I feel that way, if it is me,
I will be bawling my eyes out bitterly.

Finding fault with everyone around me.

I don't think I will be bothered about how it ends.

Is this what's called a different perspective?

That misery had a different meaning for each of us?

That's what's shocking for me. I feel so small...

I have become such a boring person...

Let's do it together.

Bawling our eyes out bitterly,
finding fault with everyone around us.

Not being bothered.

Sure. Although we won't be able to see eye to eye.

Atlas Cedarwood, Juniper Berry, 10 drops of Pine.

What is it?

- Air freshener?
- Well...

Please.

I truly apologise for the last time.

It's nothing.

- Kazuhisa, you should apologise too. This idiot.
- I'm truly sorry.

I'm shocked to see Saiki-san bow to another person.

Idiots. I'll kowtow to an admirable person.

- That is how I rose to the top.
- This person, even though he looks young...

-... is he really someone great?
- No.

He is. Great is too weak a word to describe him.
That is because, he is giving his heart to my daughter.

What's that? I don't get you.

It's fine for you to not get it.
Both of you who don't get it are idiots.

No matter what we're idiots.

It's best for woman to be that way. Right?

My wife is not highly educated,
but yet all she has is a lot of pride.

We may not look it, but we also have our prides.

- Isn't that so?
- Well then, don't hold back today

and order as much as you'd like of your favorite things.

As the father, I must at least thank you.

Eat as much as you like.

Sari, sorry.

I heard from him about how you try
to be considerate of me.

Oh... this?

I am sorry.

I like Mama's smiling face.

I too, like Sari's smiling face.

And also your crying face.

When you're napping, the way you furrow your brows
angrily. I like those faces too.

Mama is such a beautiful woman, so no matter
what kind of face, I like them all.

- Sari.
- So, don't hold back. Show me all your different faces.

Sari, you do that too.

- I am not that beautiful.
- You are beautiful.

- You're lying. I look ugly when I am sleeping.
- It's cute.

Lies, lies. My drool is all over my face.

You are so much more beautiful than Mama.

Wait a minute. Aren't we overdoing it with the praises?

I guess.

Well then, thank you for the meal.

Hey! What are you talking about? We're only half-done.
From hereon, we will be moving on to other places.

- I have my part-time job.
- Who cares about that pathetic shop?

Kazuhisa, you let Sara know.

- Alright.
- Even so, I won't go.

Hey!

Miki.

Let us two disappear to somewhere.

- You, what about other places?
- It's fine, it's fine. I'd like to chat with you a little more.

Or you'd rather be with Miki-san?

- No, that's not the case.
- Then, let's enjoy ourselves tonight.

- I'm sorry, but I am going home.
- You can't! I will get a scolding later.

Erm... I hope you can keep this a secret...

- I am not interested in women.
- Seriously!? You're this kind of person?

- Yes.
- I see.

- But, what should I do...
- Let's just say we were together.

- We'll just get our stories straight.
- Really? If so, then I'm lucky!

My Po-kun, oh, he's my toy poodle.
Today, he is not feeling well.

- Is that so? You must be worried.
- Yes.

-So sorry to bother you when you must be tired.

Not at all. I am the one who is sorry for having
made you wait. Please, please.

You've said it before, Doctor.
It will be deemed as organ trading.

But if they are father-and-child,
then it is possible.

With the brain tumor patient?

Tomorrow, I will submit the papers
to the local ward office.

You are being foolish.
Mochizuki-san, what on earth are you...

Do we have any other alternatives to this?

A way for him to specify his heart's recipient!
If there is, then please tell me.

What are you saying. That is impossible.

It's just a sham marriage, isn't it?
There's also the problem on the adoption.

- I cannot approve of this.
- Until you are able to agree with this...

I will do whatever it takes.

You will just accept this quietly, right?

You...

Please carry out the surgery.

You're unbelievable.

When the time comes...

- Excuse me, where are the cotton buds?
- Okay.

- I'm sure...
- Stop right there.

Turn around.

Looks like you really didn't look at my face.

I... the candies from the last time...

- Apologise.
- Apologise?

Since then, I have been so fretful,
I haven't been able to do anything right.

Acting high-and-mighty. Just because you managed
to stop a mere 200 yen worth of shoplifting.

I wasn't trying to act high-and-mighty though.

For a mere part-timer at a convenience store
to be so condescending, it makes me mad to think of it.

You're fragile.

- Are you making fun of me?
- No.

- This seems to be a blind spot for the camera.

If I scream loudly, and rip this...

... and run flying out the door,
what do you think will happen?

I guess I will probably be arrested
for attempted rape, right?

Get on your knees and grovel.

I am certain that this form of extortion
is against the law.

I will not put it up on the net or anything.
So just kneel and grovel.

It's just so you can live it down?

Then I will let you off.

What is it that you are looking for?

The cotton buds.

Welcome home.

I'd assumed that Usui-san will be working overtime.

- Your brother contacted you?
- Yes. About Sari.

He'd said that as her uncle, he'd like to thank you,
but that was so unlike him.

He said that he was shocked.
About my tumor.

Yes. When I was explaining to him,
I could feel that.

He felt he was such a wretched soul,
for having worried over trivial things.

I told him that was not the case.

While I had my health, like him, I too
wasn't too bothered about others.

I wonder if he had listened...

Who knows? We had dined at a Chinese restaurant,
and they wanted to move on to another place for drinks.

- But I had turned them down.
- It would have been fine for you to go.

If you only live within this place,
you will find it suffocating.

No.

A small world feels much more comfortable for me.

- Just like me.
- Yes.

The girl from earlier, she will definitely come again.

- I think so too.
- Be careful.

I can handle the shop by myself.

This neighborhood becomes deserted at night.

It's so quiet that it hurts the ears.

- Please go upstairs and rest.
- Just a little bit more.

So, how was Ami?

She looks all delicate...

Fine. I don't want to hear any trashy stuff.

After we divorced, I was not allowed
to meet my daughter.

That's so horrible, right?

Sara-san is currently at Massa-san's.

I cannot stand that witch.

- Papa.
- Sari.

Hi. How are you?

The title deed to the shop's land.

My husband loved you a lot,
so I don't think he will have any complaints.

No, no. This... I can't accept.

Once you re-marry, you will no longer
receive financial support from you ex, right?

This is a wedding gift from me.

It is just a small piece of land that isn't worth a lot.

You can sell it, do something with it;
Do as you please.

You don't have to worry about money,
and just live happily with your new young husband.

That's...

You don't have to feel guilty or anything.

You've really...

...done your job as a mother.
Even Sari is happy for you, right?

- I haven't told Sari about it.
- Why?

- Are you embarrassed to be doing it at your age?
- I have no intentions of telling her at all.

- Erm... sorry, Aunt Massa. I... We...
- It doesn't matter.

I don't intend to lecture you anyway.

Whatever happens between a man and a woman,
I am no longer surprised by any of it.

Look here. Quick, just accept this.

Old people will never take back
whatever they had given out.

- You came again.
- Yes, well...

How's Sari? Is she sleeping?

- Err. No...
- Don't tell me she is having an attack!?

No. It's not what you think.

Sara-san is here.

Mama.

Yo.

Just a single "Get out".

As expected, she didn't want to raise her voice
in front of her daughter who has a bad heart.

On the contrary, her impassive face
is even more intimidating.

- Yes.
- Why is that so...

But don't you have the rights?

Visitation rights with Sari-chan.

I have been paying child support, of course,
and the occasional medical expenses.

Yes.

However, I am solely to be blamed
for our divorce.

So, was it domestic violence, or some power
and moral harrassment?

Don't say such things to my face.

Sorry.

It was infidelity. Infidelity.

Ever since Sari was born, we hadn't been doing it.

It was always sexless.
She was in full motherhood mode.

But I'm a man...
I was full of vigor and eager to expend my energy.

One day, I said something out of line.

Something out of line?

Shall we make another healthy baby?

Don't misunderstand.

I had wanted to cheer her up.
It was said half in jest.

Look, without the pretext of making a baby,
I wasn't going to get any action. It was just a way in.

...with hindsight, it was just too tactless.

I regretted to death after making that comment.
I had apologised.

She didn't forgive you?

She became all agitated and angry.

I was sick and tired of a wife that couldn't even
accomodate me a little.

At that time, you could say I succumbed to
temptation. With another woman.

Just that one time?

Well, I am still with that woman now.

- Do you have affections for her?
- Affections? For that woman?

I will not be saying such childish things.

She is just a woman that does not nag.

It isn't stressful, and so I find myself
just going along with it.

Right now, I only love Sara.

What about Sari-chan? Your daughter?

- Idiot. That goes without saying.
- Pardon.

I can only abstain from doing
anything that will anger Sara.

And so, although I miss Sari,
I didn't go visit her.

Then, why now?

Don't you get it?

Could it be that you are jealous of me?

You guessed it.

I feel as if you are taking it all away from me.

- You think too much.
- I can't help it. That's my nature.

I am dying.

I know that.

You're right.

Although I know that...

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Sorry, Mama.

You've done nothing wrong. That person
just decided to barge in on his own.

That may be the case, but I never said, "Please go".

For you, there is no mistaking he is your father.

Wrong. That's not it.

Papa, he tells me all sorts of stuff.

He had even told me, that he has great presentation skills.

It was interesteing, how shall I put it...

That person is a smooth talker.
He can talk like a machine gun.

Yes. Without realising it, the time just flew by.

Is that all?

Weren't you actually happy?
To meet him.

If that is the case, you will not see me anymore.

Mama may say such terrible things.

You're wrong. It was truly just that.

For me, just as long as I have Mama, I am happy.

That is more than enough for me.

- Truly?
- Truly. I'm fine without Papa.

How many years has it been?
If he had wanted to see me,...

...if he was thinking of me all the time.
he would have come sooner.

Even if Mama will be mad at him.
Isn't that so?

Don't be making such faces.

I don't want.

I don't want anyone else.

Mama...

Sari is happy, even if Mama is the
only person I have in the world.

In this world, only you...

It's the same for Mama too.

- That's it. Your posture is not bad.
- Massa-san, you are very good.

- Well, it has been 30 years.
- That long?

I didn't want to become the frumpy wife
of the liquor store's owner.

So I began attending classes at the dance school
in front of the station.

I immediately fell for Yuga, the instructor at that place.

- I see.
- He was also married.

Well, I guess we were what they refer to
these days as "double adulterers".

Did your husband never find out?

He did. The other man's wife too.

But for me, I'd thought it was my
once in a lifetime love affair.

It consumed me completely.

My husband was angry.

But he cried, begging me to not leave him,
'cause after all, he was madly in love with me.

It was suicide.

The man's wife, perhaps she loved her husband too much?

Or perhaps she had too much pride,
and she couldn't bear for us to be together...

...that's why she did it? I was never sure.
But I think it was probably the latter.

- And then?
- And then?

The end. My instructor closed the school down
and he moved away.

It was probably due to guilt, right?

Men are weak. They put feelings like love
or whatnot before everything else.

Women only live for heart-throbbing romances?

That's right.

Egg. Larva. Pupa. Adult insect. And finally, birthing.

All living things keep transforming over and over again.

Who needs forever?

For that moment, we just need to live for that moment.

- It's the same for everyone, right?
- That's right.

Especially for a woman like Sara.

How can that be?

She is just like a canary that has forgotten how to sing.

Perhaps you help her to remember. The song.

Me?

- From within this prison called motherhood.
- Prison?

Help her to break out from there! That kid.

I am terrified of hospitals.

You'd said you wanted to know.
Why is the owner unfortunate?

I did say that, but can't you just explain it verbally to me?

While buying you some drinks too! Enough of that.
Come with me. Look, stand up.

He is newly employed. Though he is completely useless.

To be spoken of so, how pathetic.

- You have been hospitalised all this while?
- Yes. My world is really small.

That is why, even though it is unreasonable,
I request to meet the shop's part-timers.

To Mama. And to Usui-san too.

But this guy will probably be fired soon,
and he won't be around anymore.

Oi! This is when you should retort with a,
"No such thing!".

I am Mochizuki Sari. How do you do?

- Ah, no, I...
- Hey! Why are you being shy?

It's not that. I...

Sorry for not telling you.

Aah... about the hospital visit?

I didn't think too much into it.
Your husband...

No, it should be Saiki-san and
Sari-chan meeting...

Forget it. He forced you to accompany him, right?

Sorry.

I don't know if it's 'cause he thinks he's like a king,
or that he is just afraid of loneliness,

- but that man doesn't like to do things alone.
- Yes.

Ah, that aside, the last time when you mentioned
that you were having dinner with my brother?

That man was there too, wasn't he?

Else, it would be weird for the two of you
to show up at the hospital together.

Actually, that's what happened... having said that,
before your brother dragged me along...

... Saiki-san was already waiting for us.

- It must have been scary, right?
- For a brief moment, I was terrified.

But soon, he was clasping my hands,
with tears in his eyes.

And he thanked me on behalf of his daughter.

He made an about-turn, and is now suddenly
wining and dining you.

People who are climbing the corporate ladder are like that.

The Business Development Unit's chief at my
previous workplace was the same.

- That's what's called adapting to the circumstances.
- Or simple? If we were to put it bluntly.

Usually, worrying and hesitating.

To avoid bearing the responsibility, right.

That is why, it is common for such people
to hide behind others to protect themselves.

Seems like he has many enemies within the company.

I heard from my brother, although I had
not asked for the information.

Is that so?

He still loves you.

- For the onsen. Massa-san, you're looking pretty today too.
- Thank you.

Don't state the facts.

- Today, there will be a mixed bath.
- Mixed bath?

How splendid. There's no place to hide.

I don't know if I should be telling you this.

That night, the young hostess-san ran after me
as I was making my way to the station.

That sounds just like that man.
That kind of entertainment.

- Please don't misunderstand.
- I didn't.

Since you made it for the late night shift, I guess you
must have made up some excuse and turned her down.

Yes, of course. When I asked you not to misunderstand,

I meant over Saiki-san, not over myself.

- That man?
- You may think him crass.

- But there was a different meaning to it.
- Meaning?

- He was making sure I get the drift.
- Get the drift?

Embrace the young hostess...

... and to not reach for you.

He still loves you.
He said that to me after the hospital visit.

Through it all, he loves you.
In all honesty.

... please do not be mad at him.
Somehow, I've come to like him.

For him to share such intimate details with you,
did he tell you about what he'd done?

- About his infidelity?
- He even told you that...

You found that unforgivable.
Or was what you found unforgivable...

... his verbal slip from earlier?
- Verbal slip?

For one more healthy child...

Unbelievable. Why is he telling you such things?

- I don't think he was just saying them.
- That's in the past!

Although we've parted ways, for him to
disclose such private details of our marriage...

His boorish manner is just a facade.
He is a smart man.

He had planned on my telling you all this.

What is the meaning of all this?

To remind me of all these infuriating stuff!

He wants the support of a fellow man.

Actually, like you, I was irritated by him.

But somehow or other, I seem to be
now speaking up on Saiki-san's behalf.

How come?

It's tough to go without sex.

You may think us carnal, but we
men like to hold women in our arms.

With a woman we like, all the more so.

�- Even for you?
- It's universal.

There is no denying it was a horrible thing to say,
especially to a mother worrying over her daughter...

That's truly the pits. But, can't you forgive him?

I am sure it was tough for you too.
With you and Sari-chan in that tiny world...

From time to time, to have someone you can
depend on, someone who will cheer you on.

How about letting it be that man,
who is both a father and husband?

Starting from now.

And next, the person we've all been waiting for.
Aburai Masako-san!

Living beautifully through the times in Tokyo,

From the Showa era to the Heisei era,
the queen of Saikaien,

Aburai Masako, will now sing us a song.
Of course, it will be this song. Here we go.

I'm sorry. Truly.

It's wrong.

- Wrong?
- It's all wrong.

My daughter was premature, and she
was born with a weak heart.

She may not even have survived 5 years.

It was then that I decided to discard the woman
in me, and just be a mother.

It's not your usual preparations.

I had to cut away everything that wasn't necessary.

It was a very tiny world. No space at all.

The biggest hindrance was my husband.

Support each other? Depend on him?
What are you saying!?

His work came first. Above all else,
the most important thing was himself.

Do you think such a husband will be able
to fit into our world?

Sari is dying!
My Sari is dying.

No. This is not unhappiness.

Sari and I, we have been living happily,
just the two of us.

We survived. And from hereon,
we shall too.

I was looking for a woman who would like my husband.

That man is good looking, is capable at work
and has a glib tongue.

There must be many women out there
who would find him charming.

I met one woman.

I don't love that man.
I am cold to him.

I don't let him touch me.
If you could be kind to him, that will be great.

Just that is good enough, I had said.

You...?

Yes. That's right.

My husband didn't betray me.

I had set him up.

Perhaps the weak ties I have with my
blood relatives is the reason why.

That I have always felt insecure
no matter the time and place.

That didn't change, not even after marriage.

I had probably wanted a little container, filled with
unconditional love, that I could call my own.

As absurd as it sounds, my daughter with her
weak heart, was one.

I will never be hurt or be betrayed.

Infinite peace of mind...

that no one can take away.

Yes.

Okay. I got it.

Sara...
