The Christmas party is coming up.

Let's all sing a nice song for our mommies and daddies!

It's a Christmas song called "Silent Night."

I wonder what it sounds like!

I can't wait to hear!

I'll sing it once first to show you.

Listen closely, all right?

Silent night...

Siren?

Hush!

Holy night...

She made a funny sound!

I'm sorry about that.

I'll practice really hard before the party, okay?

Anna-chan, I can sing that song!

You can?

Yeah, I sang it with my mama!

Silent night...

So good!

Wow!

Okay, then let's all practice together!

Okay!

A present?

We've got Christmas coming up, right?

Wonder if there's anything Miri wants.

Morio Kart 2nd Edition.

That's what you want!

I pre-ordered it.

Then why do you need two copies?!

Aozora Daycare

Huh?

Isn't that...

Miri's mother.

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

As usual, the whole city

Is madly in love and excited

Extras like me just go home

But I'm not sulking at all

"And then you appeared suddenly

As though you were ripping through those days

With your smile that leaves me numb

You shattered my heart

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

How the heck should I know?

I don't know what's going on in your head

But it's not fair that you're so friendly

Once again, I'm being swallowed up by your rhythm

There you go, you've got me wrapped around your finger again

There you go, you've got me wrapped around your finger again

I'm Unasaka Misaki.

We've met previously.

What do you want?

I've...

I've come to take Miri.

Take her? Hang on...

That's a whole lotta nerve you've got here.

But—

You're the one who threw Miri out and said you didn't want to see her again!

What the hell are you thinking?!

I am her mother.

I have the right to live with my daughter.

It's a little damn late for that!

You know we've—

Hey.

It's Mama!

It's my mama!

Mama!

Miri, wait—

Miri, I've missed you!

It's Mama!

I drew this one!

That's very good.

I drew this one of my friends!

They're Kotori-chan and Hinata-chan.

Why'd we let her come back with us?

We can't exactly have a serious talk in front of a daycare.

You must have a lot of friends.

We shoulda told her to pound sand!

Isn't that nice.

Yep!

In front of Miri, dude?

Mama! Hurry! Come quick!

This is my room!

Goodness!

Look, look!

These are all yours?

My papas bought them for me!

I see.

Hey, Miri.

Do you have a lot of fun here?

Yeah!

Then... you'd rather be here than with me?

I love my mama!

I love my papas too!

I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

Why I sent you away...

Mama! Hamburg steak!

I wanna eat your Hamburg steak!

What the hell's going on?

I'm having Mama's Hamburg steak today!

She said she wanted Hamburg steak,

so we went shopping together.

Eat with us, Papas!

Hey, hey! Mama! Make it quick!

I'm sorry. I'll need to use your kitchen.

It's making Miri happy.

You just don't get it, man...

There's nothing worse than having someone else mess around in your kitchen!

That's the issue?

Instant Hamburg Steak

It's so tasty, Mama!

I'm glad you like it.

Stupid...

My Hamburg steak uses minced A5 Kuroge Wagyu,

organically-grown Awajishima onions,

Nagoya Cochin-brand eggs...

Hey, yeah, this is good.

You're singing at a Christmas party?

Yeah, it's a song called "Silent Night"!

We used to sing that together, didn't we?

Make sure you practice a lot.

Sure!

Mama, sing with me!

I charge a lot for my songs.

I'm afraid your papas would have to pay...

I can't give them away for free.

Papa! Pay up!

Hell no!

Okay, let's get down to brass tacks.

Why now?

No smoking here.

I got fired.

My man left me.

The cancer spread to here,

and I can't sing anymore.

You gonna die?

Hey!

God's so cruel.

After everything I've been through already,

he throws this on the pile.

I don't give a damn about your sob story.

It's got nothing to do with Miri.

I don't know how much longer I have to live.

So I hoped you'd have pity and forgive my selfishness.

I want a fresh start with my daughter.

Hitting rock bottom has made me realize what's most important in life.

I'm going to go back to my parents to make an honest go at life.

All I really need is my child.

Please...

Please!

Stop it.

Miri's excited about her daycare's Christmas party.

I don't think it'd be right to move her around now.

I'll make sure she can stay at that daycare for a while.

I'll rent an apartment nearby.

I'll do whatever it takes to give her a happy life.

You've really changed.

To make up for everything I put her through,

I want to start living my life just for her.

It's still all about you, huh?

What Miri wants matters too.

I know that.

I thank you for all you've done to watch over her.

But I also know you're involved in dangerous work.

As her mother, I can't leave her in your care any longer.

If you consider yourselves her parents as well,

you must agree.

I'll take my leave for now.

Yadorigi Coffee • Light Meals

Miri's mother showed up?

Yeah. Came in like a freight train.

Miri was asleep when we sent her on her way,

which sent her into maximum sulk mode.

How'd her mom find out where we were and what we do?

I told her.

H-How come, Kyu-chan?

You mean you're the one who called her?

That...

That's not the picture we took.

You're familiar with Ogino Ryo, correct?

Why's he after Miri?

I'm giving you a warning.

Her presence in your lives has made your work sloppy.

The organization won't tolerate it.

That's why I contacted her mother.

Get rid of her soon, or they'll give you more than a warning.

No way. You want us to...

Unless you're willing to turn on the organization. Are you?

I...

He betrayed the organization.

You'd better not betray my expectations.

For you, for the mother, and for Miri,

this is the best outcome one could hope for.

But still... you can't just ask us to—

Have you forgotten?

You're the ones who killed her father.

Yet you want to put on smiling faces and play the happy family?

You don't think she'll see through that eventually?

Put an end to the lies.

All this was only ever a dream.

Okay! Rise and shine, Miri!

There's no daycare today!

We're hitting the town! Let's get you dressed!

Hitting the town?!

Wake up! Wake up!

Papa Rei!

We're hitting the town!

Hey, Papa! Where are we going?

No tell!

Mean!

Hey!

Where'd this come from?

Where?

A little family day.

Where are we going?

Where are we going?!

So we don't have any regrets.

Silent night...

Ta-dah!

Our destination today...

is here!

Hey! Hey! Tell me what it is!

It's full of the kinds of places kids love!

See? It's got this one, and this one!

It sounds like so much fun!

I bet you can't wait, Papa Rei!

Yeah, guess not.

Heck yeah!

Let's rock this place!

Yeah!

Yeah...

Wow, looking good!

Yeah!

Say cheese!

Okay!

Miri!

Take that!

Hey!

You okay?

I-If anything happens to our girl...

She's perfectly safe, sir.

B-But what if she slips?!

That's why she has a safety line.

B-But what if it snaps?!

Calm down, dude.

Papa Rei looks so cool!

Can't do it! Too scared!

Papa Kazuki looks so bad!

See you at 6 at the place we agreed on.

Message sent.

I wanna play more!

Me too.

Bet you're hungry, huh?

Let's get something to eat!

Okay!

Papa, I want that!

Hey, that looks good.

You buy.

I'll save us a seat.

Which one do you want?

I love strawberries, and bananas too...

Wow, that's a big one!

I got um, um...

An everything!

That looks better than I thought.

I kinda want one now too!

Papa Kazuki, say ah!

You mean it?

What a good kid!

Ah!

Here! Papa Rei, you too!

No, I—

It's good.

We shared it three ways!

We've been through this before, right?

It tastes better when we all eat together!

Hey, Miri.

Can I have another bite?

No more!

But there's a lot left, right?

Can't I have a little?

This is my part!

Mean. Meanie Miri.

Weenie Papa!

Not weenie!

He said "meanie."

Weenie, Weenie, Weenie Papa!

That was so good!

But now your face is all sticky.

Come over here.

There! All clean.

Thanks, Papa!

Here you go!

Thank you!

I wish Mama could've eaten with us!

Mama. I wanna go over there!

I want three!

Sure, okay. Let's go.

That's right, Miri.

Okay!

I bet that would've been great.

It tastes better when we all eat together, right?

You're totally right.

What are you doing, Papa?

Thanks for teaching me that.

Hey, that tickles!

Papa?

Oh, it's nothing!

Well, what do you wanna do next?

I wanna play video games!

Hey, Rei.

Yeah?

You think we took her mother's happiness?

I'm not sure.

If we told Miri the truth, do you think she'd forgive us?

I don't think she'd understand right now.

Yeah.

Let's just have fun for today.

Come on. Miri's waiting.

Papa Rei's so good!

You sure? I can have all these?!

You got it! Buy all you want!

I'm lousy at games,

but at spending money? I'm a master!

Yeah!

Thank you, Papa Kazuki!

I wanna wear this to the Christmas party!

Looks good on you.

Like a real princess!

Make sure you come watch, Papas!

Now for the day's climax!

It's so big!

I've never been on a Ferris wheel before!

Are Ferris wheels scary?

No.

They let you see really far, though!

So pretty!

It's not scary?

No!

Last winter,

you brought a cat home, remember?

You got mad.

Remember what I said to you?

No.

Sometimes it's kinder not to get involved.

If you're not really prepared, getting involved can make things worse.

If you can't watch over them to the end...

"Don't get involved if you can't see it through..."

To say that now...

To say that after we're all attached... it's cruel.

It might not be too late.

Too late? For what?

Normal happiness.

I want her to eat Hamburg steak and smile forever.

Fight with friends, practice for school races, sing songs...

I know, but...

There's only one thing we can do now.

We're at the top!

Look! Look!

Papa, we're at the tippy-top!

Hey, really?

That's the best part!

Get yourself an eyeful!

I'll come, too.

It's so pretty!

Yeah.

Yeah, it's really pretty.

Oh, we're going down now.

We got far more than our share.

Thanks to you, Miri, I've seen things I'd never seen before.

Time to wake up from the dream.

Mama?

Here's the last surprise present from your papas.

A sleepover for just you and Mama!

Thank you, Papa!

Miri!

Don't want you catching cold.

Okay!

See you tomorrow, Papa!

Guess we weren't able to change.

Yeah.

The scenery never changes and every day is full of surprises

But those are the best parts

Wrapped around your finger and going in circles

These days are dizzying yet endearing

On your restless nights, I softly whisper a lullaby

And stroke your hair to the rhythm of your breathing

I just want these days to continue as long as possible

Even if it's just a day

I chased after you as you ran barefoot

Maybe one day, you'll surpass me, ah

I wonder what tomorrow's going to be like

Why don't we walk together?

This will always be our place to come home to

And it'll shine down on our sadness

That's all right, yeah, that's okay

Let's try to share our love together

Let the light always shine upon hope

When the future is unpredictable
