Do we have any other alternatives to this?
A way for him to specify his heart's recipient!

I cannot approve of this.

Until you are able to agree with this
I will do whatever it takes.

Even if Mama is the
only person I have in the world.

I decided to discard the woman
in me, and just be a mother.

Even now, I love only Sara.

The biggest hindrance was my husband.

My husband didn't betray me.

I had set him up.

Really, I was fine to come alone.

What are you saying.
This is our long-awaited special day.

Special day...

Thank you for waiting.

Queue number 405...

Please.

Excuse me. Can you please help
to take a picture of us?

- Please.
- Okay.

- Hey, smile.
-Okay. Say cheese.

Thank you very much.

At that moment, I could really feel the gap.

The young man that was always cool
and calm in demeanor.

Was like a totally different person in his innocence.

But if I think about it, he is
still young after all.

If death isn't looming over him,

Perhaps this is his true self.

I was a little surprised.

Because you saw the change in my demeanour?

Have you heard of the movie,
"My Life Without Me"?

Like me, she was also told about her terminal illness.
Although the protaganist in the movie was a woman.

And a housewife with children too.

- She had written down on a memo.
- The 10 things she'd like to do before dying.

- Yes. It included little trivial stuff.
- You have written them down too?

Amongst the 10 things, your wish to marry.

No, no way. No matter what,
I would never have wished for such a silly thing.

- Even if I had someone in mind.
- You're right.

Now and then, I tend to forget
about this surreal matter.

The reality that he will collapse soon...

Thanks to you, an impossible thing
is made possible.

That would be...

Things that one have given up on,
somehow may still possibly happen.

Thinking that way, cheers me up a little.

Sorry. Are you embarrassed to be with me?

- No. It's not that... but...
- But?

- Our marriage is not the normal kind...
- That's fine.

We are the true masked couple.

You're right.

The fact that he will one day disappear from my sight.

Sometimes I...

... totally forget that.

The nurses here are all old, right?

There isn't an angel of mercy,
I'd asked, and was smacked in return.

Although it's not one of mercy,
but there are angel-like kids around instead?

- I'd heard.
- No way ~. I am not an angel.

Nobody is saying it's you.

Aah... Mama!

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello...

Finally, you've remarried.

- Have you told Sari about it?
- About my marriage?

There isn't any need to tell her, right?
I am not even changing my family name.

- Won't you be found out if you remain as Mochizuki?
- What is the use of telling her?

We've only met recently.
And we aren't even a real couple.

That child is very observant.

In that case, you just have to be honest with her.
Tell her it is for the transplant.

She is at a sensitive age.
It will only disturb her greatly.

She will pity him, and will think about
not going through with the operation.

You intend to let her go through with the surgery
without letting her know?

What is this!? Did you call me out here
just to voice out your disagreement?

Or is it to tell me that you intend to cut off all financial aid?

Oi! Sari is my daughter. Will I do such a thing?

The fish here is really good.
They come direct from the proprietress' fisherman relatives.

Oh! Are you leaving already?

- Ah... she seems to be angry.
- Is it?

She isn't normally like that.
You can say she is very cold.

She won't say a word in return
for everything I say.

Nobody is above being in a bad mood, no?

- Especially women.
- No, that's not right.

Not right?

When I was caught at the hotel being unfaithful,
I had it checked out after that.

There were no signs of Sara having
hired a private investigator.

And yet, why?
How was I found out?

That day, it was my first time.
The first night we got together.

I had thought it so at that time too...

You had personally called Sara.

What are you saying?

You were acquainted. That is why today,
Sara agreed to meeting me.

Knowing that we are meeting at this place,
if she'd turned me down, it would have looked suspicious.

What a horrible thought. What was the
merit of doing that?

For your wife, and for me.

Don't underestimate me.

Wrong. You're wrong.

Welcome back.

Welcome.

What shall we do?

- Kazu, what's wrong?
- Welcome home. This and that.

- Ah... that's his dinner.
- I am hungry.

- That's not right.
- Well, I'm fine...

- If you're okay with yakisoba, I can make it.
- Oh! Please.

Anyway, what's up?
Did you argue with your wife again?

I am tired from work, and yet everyday
she is snapping at me.

- I walked out.
- Walked out!?

- He wishes to stay here for a while.
- He works night shifts, right?

During that time, I can take his place
and sleep in the storage room.

- I have no problem whatsoever with that.
- It's best to go home.

It can only get worse.

I really can't be bothered anymore.

Here we go again. Haru-kun...
your son, he is pitiful, no?

Well... my wife hates me.

And so, my son too, takes me for a fool.

You're just feeling burned out, isn't it?

It's the lock.

I found it strange that she screenlocks her phone.

I tried a few patterns, and then, bingo!

- Is it an affair?
- How can that be? Especially Mai-san...

I am really thinking of a divorce!

We can do it this way.

- I can receive mails via infra-red?
- You really didn't know about it?

That's cause I only have Mama's mail address.

That's impossible!
That's to say, for girls like you...

... Most are addicted to smartphones. And be in the
world of LINE, sending hundreds of messages daily.

You feel I am behind the times?

- More like you don't seem to be running with the crowd.
- That's cause I can't run.

- No, that is not what I mean...
- It's a joke. Don't take it to heart.

Don't be fooled by my appearance and situation.

- Because I am weak here, I am tough.
- True.

- When will you be discharged?
- Tomorrow.

What about rehabilitation?

- I'll be returning to my normal daily life.
- I see.

- I will be e-mailing you.
- 100 times a day?

I shall come visit you sometimes.
Or should I say, come take a peek at you.

- Peeking sounds perverted.
- Idiot. That's not what I meant.

- Perhaps she was just chatting about latest news.
- With her ex-boyfriend?

Well, it's also probably someone who lends a
listening ear to her complaints about you.

Or perhaps she just wanted a man's opinion. On how to
improve the relationship between husband and wife.

- Your wife is perhaps worrying over it too.
- She seems to be taking it extremely well.

It was at the cafe, right?
Where the two of them meet.

Yes, is it bad of me?
To observe them secretly.

Well, you were curious.

- Anyway, you're safe then, no?
- How so? It was a clandestine rendezvous.

Anyway, sooner or later it will lead up to the hotel, right?

There you go again... you're already a father.

Hey, don't you know that nowadays,
women are quite raunchy.

If you read the BBS on 2-channel,
you will feel sick.

- Is that so?
- Anyway, it's fine.

If that's the case, she will be relieved
when I bring up the issue of divorce.

- Is that so?
- Two Daifuku (rice cakes).

- That's it for now.
- Okay.

Well, it was shocking.

At the cafe, my wife smiling at the man
sitting across from her.

When she's at home, she is always pulling a long face.

Aah ~ this person used to be smiling this way,
I had suddenly remembered.

She is always showing you her angry face?

She is just trying to get your attention.

She's just venting her frustration on you.
The stress from child rearing and other external forces.

You are the only person that she
can lay bare her true feelings to.

She is hoping that you will be able to understand
her, and thus she acts all bratty.

Such a thing...

When it's one's lover and all the more, one's spouse.
When you grumble about your work.

The person you wish most to listen to you,
is your wife, right?

Well, I guess.

I was that way too.

- When I discovered my illness, to my sweetheart...
- You had a girlfriend.

We were at the stage where we were
talking about marriage now and then.

- And then?
- Since then, I became difficult to get along with.

For sure she couldn't be my wife.
Hurtful words, attitude...

- I had hurt her a lot.
- I see.

When I think back, I was just so naive.

I wanted her to understand my anguish and sorrow.

Only her, and no one else...

It's because we love, that is why we act horribly.

- It's so contradictory, right?
- No, I understand.

We just wanted someone with whom we
could let our guard down.

Then, you should be a little more understanding
towards your wife?

- Erm, can I say something?
- Yes, go ahead.

I don't really have any other ulterior motives.

You only befriended her out of pity?

No, it's not pity. It's just the usual.

It's not the usual.
That child is not your normal kid.

You know right? That child has
never once stepped out of the sickroom.

The reason being, it's not possible for her to do so.
It's too dangerous for her.

Just in case she gets an attack...

... and the doctors and nurses are not by her side?

Her life will be in danger immediately.

He'd said he would e-mail me and even come visit.

In your imaginary world, he is prince charming?

No. That's not it.

That's not something that can happen so easily.

But, without a doubt, he is a contender, right?

Contender? Yes. Ryo-kun does seem like one.

His name is Ryo-kun.

Sorry. For calling it an imaginary world.

It's already a reality.

You seem to have mixed them all up.

- That is what I think.
- What is?

- You're falling in love.
- Stop it. Stop it.

That's not it. He is a boy that I don't
even know well.

Some people, we do not feel anything for
even after we have known them for 100 years.

- Eww... You're teasing me, right?
- I am not teasing you.

You're lying.

When you go back to school, you will have
your studies, club activities... and karaoke-ing with friends.

It's different. Completely different.
My daughter's world and yours. Completely.

I don't want her to feel sad.
I don't want her to be hurt.

She is totally not equipped to handle those.

If that happens, you are unable to
take responsibility for it, right?

I understand.

I will not contact her. And of course,
I won't come see her.

Thank you. I'm glad that you are
a proper young man.

- Ryo. Let's go.
- Please excuse me.

- Sorry for always troubling you.
- No, it's fine.

I've just lost the will to work,
and so I am living moderately.

I can only wait for you to bring me food.

I see.

Humans are just living beings that
will become spoilt when they are indulged.

Is that so?

We will start taking things for granted.

If you stopped coming by, I will bear a grudge
against you, though it's undeserved.

- Yes.
- I'm just kidding.

That kind of people cannot be called human.

I am eternally grateful.

Yes. That's just a disparity in dignity, I feel.

You are a highly dignified person.

Someone trapped in a homeless life, cannot be
highly dignified. I'm a lowly being. Lowly.

When one has such a person by one's side...

...one feels safe, and comfortable.

I'm tickled by it all, so do stop.

It's probably 'cos I haven't bathed for a while...

It's the same for lovers and spouses too.

Well, when we take the other party for granted

We end up not wanting to do a thing.

But it's just all for naught, right?

All for naught..?

Are you on leave?

No. I went to work, but I was suddenly
having a stomach ache, so I left early.

- You are having a good appetite, no?
- I don't know why.

When I see your face, sis, I suddenly
feel all better.

- It's only lunch, so don't be sucking up to me.
- It's the truth.

Sis, you have that thing.
A healing touch...?

Somehow, even without telling you a thing,
you seem to understand.

Enough of that. Leaving that aside, will you
be going home today?

Give me another 2 ~ 3 days.
My wife has not contacted me anyway.

It's not good for both of you to be obstinate.

I don't think it is obstinacy.

I'm just thinking over the things that fella
had said to me.

- That fella?
- The person you'd remarried.

Him, what did he say?

That perhaps my wife is strict with me
because she wants me to indulge her.

- Yes. That's it...

It seems he had caused his girlfriend to suffer too.

- At the time he discovered his tumor.
- He had a girlfriend?

Because he loved her, he had wanted
her to understand...

... he acted like a spoilt brat,
in his own twisted way?

In a perversed way, with hurtful words
and attitude.

And then?

After I heard that, I began to see
my wife in a different light.

You've changed for the better.

Speaking of which, it's probably due to that...

He is dying soon, right?
Perhaps, because of that, his words

seem to carry a lot of conviction.

Uncle, come take a look.

No matter how many times I'd sent it,
it doesn't seem to go through.

You got the address wrong?

No such thing! I still managed to send yesterday.

Let's try sending once again.

- How about from him?
- Nothing.

- Him?
- Someone I met here.

- Ryo-kun had hurt his leg during extra-curricular activities.
- Is he more handsome than me?

- It was a tough call.
- You're so kind.

- If that's the case, he must have changed his address.
- Like I'd said, that's not...

Mama...?

Sis...

What did you say? What did you say to Ryo-kun?

That you live in different worlds.
That's what we talked about.

He is a smart kid. It seems like he got it.

Why did you do such a thing?

You know it too, Sari.
If you think about your health.

- Am I not allowed to make friends!?
- Sari! It's bad, don't get all excited.

Look at you! You're all worked up over it,
just as I'd thought.

That is what Mama is worried about.
That you will have your hopes dashed.

- That you'll have a hard time.
- It's cruel. You're cruel, Mama...

After a month, half a year?
When the communication stops.

You will be feeling much worse than now.
Because you would have grown fond of him.

It's cruel.

Sari. Mama only has Sari's interest at heart.

You can hate me all you like.
But Mama...

... will do anything to protect Sari.
Now and in future.

- She finally calmed down.
- She is in her adolescence, that's why.

For such a thing to happen, it is not unusual.

I was troubled. I wasn't sure if that was
the right thing to do.

Just a boyfriend that she mails to.

Perhaps it is motivation for her to battle her illness.

- All these things I was thinking...
- Yes.

I felt uneasy. Though it may seem exaggerated.

But then, I began to think of the worst that could happened.

I understand. What you did is just maternal instinct.

Even though it is illogical,
most of the time, it is right.

I feel terrible.

That child must be feeling terrible,
but I feel equally terrible too.

No, for us, whatever we do,
both happiness and sorrow...

...they always co-exist. And that is how we've lived till now.
And yet...

Please bring the young man along.

- Let's perform a check-up. To see if his heart...
- Doctor, does that mean...

Let's find out if the operation is possible or not.

Thank you! Thank you!

You've suffered enough.
Both mother and daughter.

In any case, let's free you both of this.

It was so pitiful.
Looking at her, really.

- Although I could understand Sari's feelings.
- Thank you.

It's just that, in the end, what Sis said was right.

- Is that so?
- If we think about her health

There isn't any need to take the risk now.

For example, making friends, having boyfriends.
Such things...

It's not too late if they come after
I've died and her transplant is successful.

Thanks. For such awful words to
come from the horse's mouth.

You're so narrow-minded.

You're so narrow-minded.
I said that.

That is why both my wife and my kid
make a fool of me, right?

Thank you. For such awful words to
come from the horse's mouth.

I guess it's unpardonable to have said that.

Why am I narrow-minded?

Do you know? The success rate for heart transplants surgeries,
and the survival rate post-operations?

Within a year, 2 out of 10. Within 5 years, another 2.
10 years after...

Stop it! It's enough. I cannot handle such talk.

But, that's right. Certainly, for me...

... if she had a normal body...

You wanted to be able to say,
that you understood her feelings, right?

Sari-chan's.

She is a girl who feels that death is imminent.
From the day she was born.

Even knowing that, you can still say, she should wait?

You're saying she should stay single and alone.

Damn! But it cannot be helped.

Cannot be helped?

Cannot be helped... cannot be helped.

- I'm in trouble.
- What is it?

That person. He has been following me
since we left the station.

- Aah. An acquaintance?
- Don't joke.

You have a phone, right?
Why don't you call the police?

- I don't want to make it worse...
- What do you want of me?

Say something like I am your girlfriend, or whatever.
Intimidate him.

A trap? Are you setting me up again?

Forget it.

Kazuhisa-san. Please look after the store.

Stop it. I'll scream.

- You were the one who lead me on.
- You must be kidding. You've misunderstood.

This fool...

Stay still!

That is my woman. So?

Do I look that cheap?

Erm...

This shelf and this shelf, if we move
them a little closer...

We'll be able to put in another shelf, I think.

- Then we'll be able to increase the product line-up.
- I'll leave it to you.

I am not just saying it.

I'll have peace of mind if I leave it to you, Usui-san.
Really. Thanks.

That... If I can be of any help to you

Erm... about your daughter.

Aah. This fella too has been for a visit
at the hospital.

He gets a small part in Sari-chan's story.

I see. Thank you for taking the trouble.

She will get well. That child, she will recover.

Thank you.

- Well, then, I'll leave the rest to you.
- Okay.

Ouch. What are you doing?

You! Why do you make such inappropriate comments!
It is a serious illness.

To give such cheap consolatory words,
it is not comforting at all!

They were not consolatory words.
I saw it.

That child was running along the sand, laughing.

How do you do?

Frangipani, Bergamot, Lavender, Neroli.

Mama, I'm sorry.

Because we had a fight yesterday, you didn't managed
to get a bath.

After what you've done for me, Mama...

Let's leave such talk behind.

- Good morning.
- Morning!

You sound cheerful. Something good happened?

- Something happened between my daughter and I.
- The fight?

- But it didn't last long and we're fine now.
- Is that so?

Looks like my check-up is happening soon, right?

Dr. Kuroda seems to be able to make it
either Wednesday or Thursday.

The sooner the better... then, Wednesday.

Yes. Then so it shall be.

It's great, right? That the doctor is
buying into the operation.

Thanks a lot. I'm truly grateful.

I wasn't doing it to hear such words.

For my brother too.

After he heard about your girlfriend.

About your acting spoilt and the hurtful words and attitude.

He begins to try to understand if
his wife is doing the same thing.

And that is why, in a perversed way,
she is giving him attitude.

- It has changed his view of things.
- It was a lie.

I had made the part up about my girlfriend.

How do I put it? Your brother, somehow or other...

... he doesn't really want to divorce his wife,
I could feel it.

He doesn't have the courage, for want of a better word.

Since he has to put up with it, I'd thought
I might as well make it easier for him.

So that's the case.
Still, it's admirable.

You've made it seem so real.

I actually did have a girlfriend that
I had been going out with for a few years.

I was even introduced to her parents, once.

- Parents' approval?
- But, once I knew of my illness,

I was worrying over what I should do,
to be honest.

I had felt that I should break up with her immediately.

- Why?
- She was just an ordinary girl.

She just wanted to get married, have a family
and become a good housewife.

- You didn't want her to suffer.
- Yes, well.
- But...

What if it was you?
Would you have wanted to know?

- Of course.
- No hesitation at all.

That's right. You are that kind of person.

I think everyone would feel the same,
if it is one's beloved.

I don't think that way.

I had broken up with her by email.
Of course, she couldn't accept it.

In the end, we had set up a face-to-face meeting,
to talk things out.

- That's a given, since she didn't know the reason why.
- Yes.

She was persistent in finding the reason why.

I wasn't ready for marriage, etc.,

I had thought of all sorts of excuses
and had planned on using them.

Had planned...? You couldn't even remember
in such situations?

I had taken some strong medication.
To stop the terrible headaches.

Aah... I'm sorry.

When I think back, it seemed so surreal.
I could hardly sleep a wink when at home.

At that time... at such a very important moment.

I had fallen soundly asleep.

By the time I woke up, she was no longer around.

Of course, she was disgusted and had
left in anger.

When I had tendered my resignation at work,
my girlfriend was working at another department.

- It all ended at that point.
- I see.

No. I had actually bumped into her
in the streets a few months later.

Perhaps she had wanted to talk about us with someone.

And that gave her the chance to get close to my friend.
They were holding hands.

- It must have been a shock to you.
- No.

- You must have regretted not telling her.
- No.

- That is...
- That is... what it is.

Your brother's wife too, she seemed to be
enjoying the company of her ex-boyfriend.

All along, dignity does not need to be championed.

Like I'd said earlier, for your brother's sake.

Since he couldn't have left no matter what,
and he just had to put up with it...

- Dignity?
- Yes, for most people, that's the case.

I feel it's a little arrogant to think that way.

Even in the matter of not being
able to tell your girlfriend too?

In hindsight, she had immediately gotten a new sweetheart.

She had thought that it was just a normal break-up,
that is why it can't be helped.

Again, cannot be helped?

- Uncle? Am I not too heavy?
- Not at all.

That aside, that guy has yet to come?

He has yet to go home from the club?

I don't think it will take this long, though.

Well, perhaps he is recuperating at home.

- Oi! Let's go!
- Aah.

Uncle? We should go back now.

Well, since we've come all the way here.

When Mama returns for bath time,
we will be found out.

That's true... the nurses may tell too.

Well then, let's go back.

Don't be disappointed. There will be a chance
for us to come again.

I will definitely bring you again.

But it's OK. It can't be helped.

Don't say that! There is no such thing
as it can't be helped.

Right! I'm closing the door.

It's hot. Are you thirsty?

Eh? Sari!?
Sari, hang in there...

It's okay. It will be okay...
I am lowering the seat.

Sari, are you alright?
Hang in there.

Why did he do that?
Anyway, I am coming over now.

- Sari is having an attack!
- I am coming along too.

I say, Kazuhisa, what were you thinking!?

His... that boy's school, Sari had asked
to be taken there.

- What's her saturation?
- 98.

We will just continue to observe her.

When she's stable, let's return her to her room.

It's fine.

Sis... sorry!

It was only for a while. We were returning immediately.

She's stable now.

- Go back to your own home today.
- Why so sudden...?

We didn't even managed to see that kid, Ryo-kun.

She saw him. Sari-chan did.

He too must have seen her...

Kazu, please go home.

Sorry!

I think so too. Sari must have seen him.

- And him too.
- Yes.

He must have averted his eyes.
She must have been so shocked...

Poor thing. But that's reality for you.

With time, the heart grows fonder...

- The heart grows fonder?
- Yes. It's not just about the attacks.

There will be days where she won't be able to eat a thing.

That child, she is not equipped to handle such emotions.

Everyone of us, we didn't know how to deal
with heart break the first time it happened.

I know that. But she is not any ordinary girl.

She is. She is very much an ordinary girl.

What are you saying?

- She got a shock when he had averted his eyes.
- Yes. You think the same way too, right?

No. I think differently.

- Sari-chan was relieved.
- What do you mean.

She was relieved and had peace of mind.
She must have not slept a wink last night.

When feelings of anguish and anxiety are released,
the corresponding reaction is the onslaught of an attack.

Relieved...

She was able to see for herself.

The sad reality of it all...

You're saying she was totally prepared for it.

Kazu... what did you say to my brother?

A heart transplant's complexity and
the survival rates after one.

You made him do it, right? Kazu...
my weak-willed brother.

He would never do such a thing
without my permission.

We all wish for a catharsis.

People, no matter what kind of a person we may be...

No... I should say, people who are discontented
with society or family,

Deep in their hearts, they all wish for a catharsis.
A purpose in life.

That man, when his ill niece appeals to him,
what should he do?

He wants to fulfill her request.

It's not unusual for him
to try and cheer her up, right?

Goodness...

For sure, Sari-chan was grateful.

When she remembers the sad reality,

Her chest will tighten and she'll feel all choked up.

When she looks back on this...

... there may be many nights of tears.

Sentimental nights.
But compared to uneventful nights...

- It is by far much more wonderful nights.
- That is life-threatening...

They are nights that are special to only her!

- You took them from her.
- She may die...

All of us die one day!

Don't you get it?

To live, and to just exist are two different matters.

Totally different.

For the heart to grow fonder...

What's so wrong with that?

If you repress them?

Like the magma, it just continues
to seethe and boil within.

In the end?

The heart just withers away.

Before and after this, I have never seen

him as angry as this, raising his voice.

And so, now and then, I tend to forget.

He is still searching for it.

True love.

Go slowly. That's it...
You are getting better at it, no?

- Watch out!
- It hurts.

Jeez...

Here you go.

What's this? Why are you suddenly asking for a break-up?

And via email, no less. Such an important matter...
