This is what happened last time...

I'm in love, for the first time.

When the accident happened, I hoped my sister would survive, even if I didn't.

I wanted to apologize that the survivor was me, the sickly, defective daughter, instead.

I'm sorry, Hikari...

Forgive me.

I was lonely, so I put my sister's dress on.

And then... Sensei was there.

I thought it was a miracle.

Just sitting with him...

...made me happy.

I ruined everything.

I'm sorry.

Even when I hurt you, you've always been there. You waited for me.

What's wrong with that?

When Saeki comes to school tomorrow, will she have anyone who's on her side?

If not, then maybe...

Shuuji...

Maybe it should be me?

You're pregnant.

I needed to hand this over.

Wedding Ceremony Cancellation Form

What a relief! Now we can give it to her.

I was seriously worried.

I know...

It would've been really bad timing, though.

Yeah...

Natsumi-chan! Good morning!

Good morning.

Wanna do it?

Come on, let's do it!

Go!

Move, Hiraoka!

Ta-da!

Here you go, Sensei. From all of us.

I know a lot has happened... but we wish you happiness!

Thank you...

Open it, open it!

Here you go!

What is this...?

Oh, a coffee maker!

Yay!

This is great! Thank you so much.

Look...

You...

How can you even show up after what happened?

It was all your fault!

Hold this for me a second.

Okay.

Say something!

Dummy!

This is what really makes you stupid!

You need to learn how a girl feels in here, okay?

Now go on, get to practice!

The main thing is, you're not to have any contact with the students.

Sorry I couldn't do more to help...

Even if nothing happened, the fact that a student spent the night at your place...

It's only natural.

Tsuruoka-sensei...

I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

Why? After the trouble she gave you, why are you sticking up for Saeki?

I don't want to...

But...

You were angry...

Because you were angry, I thought that was enough.

That helped me go back to feeling like a teacher. Thank you.

Good morning.

I really regret what I put you all through. You shouldn't have had to deal with that.

I'm sorry.

And I've... received a six month suspension.

What?

Why?

It's not like you did anything wrong.

But something did happen...

Right... it's not like nothing happened at all.

Things aren't going to just go back to the way they were.

I... have to take responsibility for what has happened.

Personally, I'd rather have come here tomorrow,

even if you all hated me, or criticized me.

I wanted to spend it with you all. But that can't happen.

And now it's like... I'm running away.

I really am sorry for that.

Even though I'm your teacher... I won't be here to protect you.

Sorry.

Why can't a student and teacher be in love?

Teachers are human, too! If there's a really nice girl, wouldn't it be natural to love her?

So, why's it a bad thing?

It's not a bad thing...

No matter what their positions are, it's not a bad thing to fall in love.

But if you do fall in love with a student, you have to stop being a teacher.

Why?

A teacher's job is deal with all his students equally.

If you have personal feelings for one in particular...

...you don't get to be a teacher anymore.

That's just a pretense, though!

Everybody has people they like and dislike!

That's true...

But the thing that crosses that line... is romantic relationships.

Like how you give me special treatment, but aren't in love with me, Nakanishi?

Hey, now...

Waiting for you all the time like this... am I a high school kid or something?

I heard you cancelled the wedding.

Sayaka told you?

Sorry...

For putting you through all this.

That's not it.

I understand what I am to you now, Shuuji.

I'm like your guide.

I tell you where, when, and what you'll do next.

It makes you feel relieved, but...

...I take all the joy out of the journey.

That's not true...

It was the first time you made a decision yourself.

And for that first decision, you chose her.

No...

You want to help Saeki Hikari, right?

Well...

It may not be about love or hate...

But you chose what you wanted to do for yourself, and acted on it.

You're just getting started, Shuuji.

From now on, you'll be making decisions for yourself, and I think...

...it'll make you into a better man.

Which would mean...

Natsumi...

...I'm just in the way.

Which is fine to say, but... this is really exhausting.

I'm a little worn out from trying to move forward.

I'm sorry...

Shuuji... you lean on me too much when I'm around, right?

So, this...

...is goodbye.

All the Precious Things You Taught Me

Episode 6

So, what happened then?

Six months later

What are you guys even doing here?!

Practice is supposed to be where wholesome high school students play sports!

Stop!

But you two hit it off, and now you're all over each other!

What the hell...?

Sounds like someone's bitter after he got shot down to confessing to the girl he likes?

Don't let it bug you!

Shut up! It wasn't a confession!

I proposed!

Yeah? What was the answer?

Sorry.

I appreciate the sentiment.

Natsumi-chan, don't say it like that...

Being asked to marry a 17-year-old is a little...

Y'know?

Hey, I know!

Natsumi-chan, the average lifespan for Japanese folks is seven years older, for women!

That'd mean we'd die at around the same time!

You wouldn't have to be lonely at all!

Great, right?

Are you stupid? You just got rejected a few seconds ago.

Ow! Fine, but I'm not giving up on those seven years!

Yeah, good luck.

I'm not gonna give up!

You do that.

Why are you wearing that coat, Sensei?

Well, it's cold in the gym.

Oh, I see.

Seriously, man, I'm sorry. You okay?

You shouldn't space out like that.

Dammit...

Well, rest up for a bit. Okay?

Sorry again. Take care.

Are you okay?

Hikari, you around?

Sorry! I'm off to to work.

Say that I was resting in here?

Can I count on you for an alibi?

Okay.

Thanks!

Huh? Kodama? You're here again?

I was playing soccer, and...

You like Hikari, don't you?

And you, Hikari! Come to class sometimes!

Aren't you bored?

Okay...

See you next week, then.

Kashiwagi's coming back next week too, right?

Yeah...

Are you glad?

I don't know...

I'll have to see him to know.

I figured.

See you next week, then!

Hey look, your nosebleed stopped! Now get out.

Uh, but...

It's fine, it's fine!

Can you drop by the Miyakes' house?

Yeah...

Shuuji's going back to school next week, right?

What do you mean, "Oh"? Don't we have to get ready?

I mean...

Listen, Kouichi, you're the only one...

So cold, so cold! It's freezing today.

Did you hear the Sawakis are opening an okonomiyaki restaurant?

Yeah.

They want to order their liquor from us!

Really? That's fantastic!

They're gonna want beer and shochu next week. That's too much for one trip!

Want me to handle it?

What are you talking about? You're going back to school next week, right?

I understand now how people who take a leave of absence have such a hard time coming back.

They might look hurt, and depressed...

Thank you!

But there's an incredible sense of freedom.

At first, they might try to make a comeback...

But in time, the effort seems foolish.

It starts to make the person they were when they were trying so hard seem like an imposter.

No one has any expectations of them...

All that's left... is to enjoy the peace.

You want a drink?

No.

That's the thing about our parents.

They had a hand in what happened to you.

Even if you didn't say so, you lived life exactly the way Dad and Mom wanted you to.

I want out...

Living up to people's expectations... it's exhausting.

Listen... Have you talked to Natsumi-chan at all?

No.

She was sitting right there.

Natsumi-chan. She believed in you, so she came by.

I was jealous.

Listen, man...

Quit trying to act like an underachiever just because you've doing it for six months.

It's rough. Seriously.

No one having expectations for you is rough, too.

I was jealous of you...

You should to go back to that school.

Nii-chan...

Sorry, did you wait long?

Nope...

Am I starting to show?

Not compared to a lot of people... but don't push yourself, okay?

Well, thank you kindly for you concern.

I'm being serious. Premature births are really scary.

It's okay. I'm being really careful.

Because of what you told me.

You said that living for someone else's sake suited me, right?

Even if you choose to not keep it, you don't need to worry.

I had my hopes up, for a second...

And I can't decide now.

I'm scared of keeping it... but I can't make the decision not to.

Time just keeps passing...

I've had enough.

You looked like an incredibly strong woman when you came to see Hikari-chan.

That was because Shuuji was around.

I was able to be strong because of him.

Now that I'm alone... I'm shocked at how weak I feel.

It can be really exhausting to try and live only for your own sake.

I'm sorry if I'm being insensitive here, out of ignorance, but...

Maybe you like doing your best, for someone else's sake, and that makes you strong?

I guess I'm lucky...

There's always someone... for me to protect.

Which means you're part of the reason I'm going to be a single mother, Aya-san.

Well, I can't deny that completely.

And you'll have my full support.

Why am I returning to the school?

I don't have the confidence to stand in front of my students anymore.

I'm not even sure what I'd say if I saw Natsumi.

Resignation

I may have come just to run away.

Good morning.

Good morning...

So, you came.

Yeah... I did...

Was it rough?

Don't just stand there, Kashiwagi-sensei.

Yeah...

On second thought, I think I'll stick with Shuuji.

Natsumi...

You miss me?

I missed you.

I thought about calling you a lot...

I actually did, once. But I hung up.

I thought about it, too...

I'm glad you came back.

Stop it.

I came here intent on quitting.

I'm tired of pretending to be a good teacher.

I came to give it all up.

I see...

How are you so strong, Natsumi?

I'm stronger, actually. Even stronger than I was before.

Shocked that your ex is even better than last time you saw her?

Regretting breaking up, perhaps?

Do you regret it?

Kashiwagi-sensei!

It's been so long! You haven't changed at all!

Really?

Okay, today, we're gonna celebrate Kashiwagi-sensei's return! Let's live it up!

Sensei, come on...

You can't celebrate. He was technically suspended.

Oh, can't celebrate... well, I'm glad anyway!

Sensei's coming!

Here he comes!

It's been a while...

I'm... truly...

...glad to see you all again.

I look forward to working with you.

You seem really different, Sensei.

I guess so...

Well... I'll take attendance.

Since the second semester started, even when she comes to school,

Saeki-san has been going to the infirmary a lot.

I see...

Her mother called, and said she would be absent today.

Okay.

Also...

They've decided where she's transferring.

She'll be leaving once the second semester is finished.

I see...

Resignation

It's good to see you again.

Yes.

She's changing schools?

We finally found a good one.

I think Hikari will be a little more at ease in a new town...

Are you moving?

She's going on her own.

Eirin Women's University Preparatory High School

There's a girl's dorm at the school.

You're sending her... alone?

She resents me...

I'm not sure why.

She seems to be in pain when she's around me...

If that's the case... being apart might be all I can do for her.

Are you sure you're not the one who wants to be apart?

And might that be why Saeki is willing to go alone, for your sake?

How...?

How can you understand her so well, when I can't?

I'm so tired...

Saeki...

I feel bad for Mom.

I see.

Do you have any siblings, Sensei?

I do. An older brother.

I see...

Even parents are human.

They can't love two children the same way.

After the accident... Mom and Dad were told only one of us survived.

And I saw...

...their faces when they rushed to see who it was.

It was only for a moment... but they were disappointed.

Because I was the one who survived.

Not my sister... just me.

That's not...

I know. They love me.

But...

...not the same amount.

I...

He said he hated me.

My brother did.

I think I may have... been loved a little more than him.

And then... I didn't realize it at all.

I didn't know how my brother felt, or how it had affected my life.

I didn't think we'd be talking like this.

That's true.

All I had been thinking about was what to say to you, after six months.

But I couldn't think of a thing.

I didn't know what to say, either... to you, or Natsumi, or the other students.

I didn't even know why I was going to the school.

But I went anyway.

I'm sorry, Sensei.

No...

It's my problem.

You can go back.

You can go back!

You have somewhere to return to...

And everyone's waiting for you!

And you?

Don't worry about me!

No one's waiting.

But it'll be okay. It's always been that way for me!

Go back, Sensei!

Having other people around... they expect things from me.

So...

It's easier to be on my own.

Here you go, decaf.

But, it's instant.

Thank you! You got this for me?

You looked like you wanted some coffee.

It smells so good...

How was Shuuji?

He seemed a little gloomy...

I see.

I didn't tell him about the baby.

But you have to.

Yeah.

It'll be okay.

I know.

I was just a little worried about him.

Oh, yeah!

Your mother sent a big box for you!

Really?

Look how huge it is!

What have we got?

Amazing! It's so cute!

And here come the baby clothes!

Plus it's yellow, so it works if it's a boy or girl.

The same coffee I got you...?

Is she copying me?

Look! There are socks! So cute!

And folic acid! That's a mother for you. She knows her stuff.

Oh, so cute! What is this?

I'm gonna be okay.

Kodama...

Here.

Saeki...

Sonoda...

Here.

Takahashi...

Here.

Takiyama...

Here.

Saeki?

Sorry...

That's your seat, right?

Taguchi...

Here.

Chiba...

Here.

Tsujimoto...

Here.

Tsuchiya...

Here.

Saeki Hikari-san's mother came by earlier.

Yes?

She filled out the paperwork for her withdrawal.

Come on!

Bye bye!

Bye bye!

Can we go now?

But...

Goodbye!

Bye.

You came to class today...

I'm only going to be going to this school for a little longer.

So, I thought I'd attend class a few times, at the end.

Your withdrawal's already been turned in?

Yes.

This time...

...it really is goodbye... Sensei.

I just...

...realized something.

The reason I came back to this school...

Saeki.

I...

I came because I don't want you to be alone.

Every day... I'll be waiting here, for you.

Kashiwagi-sensei. Can we talk for a second?

Sure.

Not heading home yet?

I was gone for six months, so a lot has changed...

I see.

Well, good. You look different now.

I might actually be able to tell you.

What is it?

I have... a baby inside of me.

Sorry for not telling you sooner.

Why...?

I didn't want it to be a reason for you to stick around.

B-but if you have it, it doesn't just affect us.

As parents...

I knew you'd react like that.

If I had told you, you wouldn't have broken up with me, right?

Beacuse you're kind.

I wanted you to seriously think about our relationship.

That's why I didn't want to tell you.

But...

The last six months have been really important to me.

I realized I want to have this baby, and raise it.

Because I wasn't alone...

I regret what happened.

And the fact that that this was the way I considered the baby's future...

I should've been happy if we were both there for when it happened.

Then why didn't you...?

I was in too much of a rush.

I wanted to get married when I wanted to.

I thought however the other person felt, as long as I loved them, it didn't matter.

But, I was wrong.

Love is really...

...something that needs to be evenly balanced.

Did I not...

...love you enough?

Maybe I loved you too much.

When you care for someone as much as they care for you...

That's the kind of timing that's good.

Especially for a wedding.

I think.

It might not happen...

But if one day, we feel that way...

Next time... we can both say... that we want to get married.

I...

I want to meet you again, for the first time.

I couldn't even respond.

Natsumi seemed so mature... While I was still too immature...

I felt pathetic.

Next Episode

You think not having a baby makes you less a woman?

A woman chooses motherhood.

I want to help Saeki Hikari.

A man chooses duty.

Shuuji thinks about her a lot.

And a new love...

And I can't stand that.

Just forget about everything,

Episode 7 Courtship

And say "Let's get married!"

If you really think you love me...

...then think of me as a woman.

I'm transferring to another school.

Contact Information

Being able to go someplace new is great!

I like you!

Do you think you have the best shot with me?

If this is about pity, then stop it.

For most people, marriage is a calculated choice.

And if there's even a bit of love,

that usually results a happier marriage than one done for just love.

Because a marriage based on love alone is worthless once love fades.

This drama is a work of fiction.
