[Love Affairs In The Afternoon]

Episode 1
Lovers at Three o'clock in the Afternoon

-Mama.
-Hmm?

- Yesterday's fire, I heard it was an arsonist.
- Arson?

That's scary.
Did they catch the arsonist?

No, not yet. Everybody inside was safe
but the building was completely burnt down.

I'd be beyond crying if somebody
burned my brand new house.

Speaking of houses, they moved in.

What?
Oh, that new construction?

Yes, a husband and wife with two kids.
Seems like a pretty normal family.

I wish I could live in a brand new house.
Damn, look at the time already.

Bye you cuties,
Hamusuke and Hamumi-chan.

I need to go the showroom first thing
in the morning. Papa's leaving now!

Papa, wait, I'm coming with you.

Hey, could you take care of my mom,
she's coming over at six o'clock.

Again?

Could you make her just a quick bite to eat?

Just nikujaga (stewed meat and potatoes),
grilled fish, salad, and miso soup. Easy enough.

All that and you say it's easy?

- Mama. Your shoelaces.
- Oh, right.

- Oh sorry, Mama. I'm going first!
- What?

I don't really want to be called 'Mama'.

But my husband thinks it pleases me,
because I don't have children.

He doesn't have to go out
of his way to hurt me.

It's terrible of me to say this, but I wouldn't
be sad if it was my house that burned down.

I don't think I have anything precious
enough that I would really grieve for.

Maybe if I lost everything, I could put everything
back together the way it was meant to be.

- Your change is 695 yen. Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

Hello.

Do you have this chilled?

Uh, we only carry this at room temperature.

Well, that's fine.
I'll take it.

Wasn't that fire last night scary?

You just moved in, right? I live in the
apartment building right across the river.

Can you believe it was arson?
I really hope the police catch...

How much is it?

Oh, excuse me.
Your total is 5,706 yen.

By credit card.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

- Thank you so much! And wow, she was snooty.
- Did you think so? I think she's pretty.

Sure. Life is unfair.

I wish I could stop stressing about my
hourly 890 yen and ask, 'How much?'

Enough talking here.
Are you done closing your register?

- Yes.
- Yes, just about, Boss.

- Sasamoto-san, you work until three, right?
- Yes.

If you're here after that,
I'll clock you out.

We'll be starting our special sale hour
on domestic pork belly...

Pork belly's almost on sale! Yes!

- Shampoo.
- Got it.

- Tissue.
- Got it.

- Toilet paper.
- Got it.

- Detergent.
- Detergent, no, not yet.

- Found you!
- Oh crap!

Hey wait!

Be careful.

Hey, be careful! Ugh.

We have an urgent message for the customer with
the car plate number, Yokohama 333 'la' 422.

Please find the nearest staff member.
We have an urgent message...

Thief!

Excuse me.

What the hell were you doing
with my car? Huh?

Call the police!

Rikako! Rikako!

Damnit! I caught this guy messing with our car!

What is going on?
Please, don't raise your voice like that.

- What's your name?
- Huh?

My name is Takigawa Rikako.
I'm your friend, starting right now.

Friend?

I'll keep quiet about the lipstick,
if you'll play along.

Ow!

Sasamoto Sawa-san.
You're thirty-one years old, right?

Yes.

You got injured, when you were
meeting Takigawa-san today?

Uh, yes.

We had plans for tea, so I came by
to pick her up from work.

I just moved to the neighborhood, and
Sasamoto-san is the first friend I made.

So, the three of you were
going to have tea together?

Yes, Hagiwara-san is her friend.

Uh, yeah!
Friends of friends are all friends, right?

- Do you think so?
- Of course.

Yes, got it.
Please give me a moment.

Excuse me, I can't lie to the police.

I'm so sorry.
Seems a little too late for that.

You're asking me to cover for your affair.

It would be weird for the two of you to be meeting
alone, so you're forcing me to cooperate.

This is ridiculous.
Disgusting. Dirty.

Oh, don't be so cold.

I picked this up for you.

I think this red looks good on you.

That's not what you think.
I, uh, just grabbed it by mistake.

This is the suspect,
and his teacher from his high school.

Excuse us.

From Seisho Academy.
His name is Kitano...

- You bastard!
- What! You keep that stupid kid pinned down!

- Yes, I'm so sorry.
- Hey, you bastard!

Hey, Kinoshita.

My name is Kitano, from Seisho Academy.

His parents weren't available,
so I came in their place.

I'm truly sorry for this incident that
one of our students has caused.

- Please make sure it doesn't happen again.
- Of course.

We see no need to press charges. Right?

Thank you.
I'm sure he won't do it again.

Here, apologize yourself.

Where's the bathroom?

Kinoshita!

- I need to take a crap.
- Kinoshita!

The bathroom is this way.

- You need to..
- Come over here.

- What's your problem?
- I'm so sorry.

- You need to take it down.
- You just don't get it do you, you stupid kid!

- Um, is your injury all right?
- Oh, yes.

- I'll take you to the hospital.
- What?

I really think you should get it looked at.

No, really, that's not necessary.

No, please. I'll take you
to your home after the hospital.

Sawa-chan,
why don't you take him up on his offer?

I said no.

Really.
It's not necessary

Move, please.

- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

Dear God. I'm so sorry.
I did something truly wrong today.

I'm really, truly, sorry for what I did.

But... can I just say one thing?

That cheating woman deserves to be punished,
for hurting her husband and adorable children.

I hope her affair gets exposed,
and she goes straight to hell.

You fell off your bicycle?

I was on my way home from work, when this cat
jumped out at me, and I swerved. It really hurt.

It might be fractured. I keep telling her
that she needs to go the hospital.

Oh Mother, it's fine.
Look, look.

You just rest, dear.
You must be tired from working anyway.

When you become pregnant, you'll have
no choice but to let me help you anyway.

Ouch.

What is, 'Ouch,' supposed to mean?

Nothing.

What? Is that grated yam?
We haven't had this recently. Looks good.

Right? Food is important.

If you eat foods that are aphrodisiacs,
it just might do the trick.

Oh, those guys need to eat.
Hi, Papa's home.

If only the rats could call you Papa.

Mother, those aren't rats.
They're hamsters.

- Hello?
- Hi, Sawa-chan? It's me, Rikako.

Oh hello. How can I help you?

I'm glad I got your phone number.
Did you get home safely?

Of course.

My husband says he wants to apologize,
would you mind speaking with him?

Huh? Husband?

Hello. This is Takigawa.
Nice speaking with you.

Thank you for taking care of Rikako.

Take care?
Oh, as if.

My wife says you were injured because
she invited you out. I'm terribly sorry.

It's fine.

My wife can lack common sense at times,

but I know she would appreciate
your continued company.

Lack common sense? Haha.

Well, here's Rikako now.
Please take care.

Sorry for the sudden intrusion.
My husband can be a stickler for rules.

He seems to forget that
he's usually pretty careless.

Goodbye.

Wait, you finish work at
three o'clock on Thursday right?

When you're finished, would you mind
stopping by the Yokosuka Bayside Hotel?

Why me?

That teacher today.
We need to talk about our settlement.

I have nothing to do with any of that.

He insisted on seeing
and talking to you again.

I'm not going.

As do I. I know what you think of me,
but I just want to apologize. Okay?

You're suspended for a week.

Who cares?
It's almost summer vacation anyway.

Kinoshita.
You still have six months until graduation.

None of your business.

- Your mother... she still hasn't return home?
- Even more none of your business.

I hate to sound irresponsible, but
maybe your mother had her reasons?

- She did raise you until you were 18...
- They were kissing.

What?

I said, they were kissing.

She looked just like my mother.

What? Is that why you did it?

That lady working at
the supermarket is just as guilty.

She pretended to be
her friend to cover for a cheater.

Why didn't you say anything to the police?

It's funnier this way. I got a good laugh
watching those liars trying to cover their asses.

Don't try to pretend that you're this insolent
and uncontrollable kid that you're just not.

Lay off me.
Quit pretending like you care.

Kinoshita...

Ugh. What do I do now?

Oh, lipstick? That's nice.

You have to let me tell you what's on my mind
once in a while, but you are just not sexy at all.

That's your point?
Oh, I got it.

I'm not joking.
Can't you be fashionable once in a while?

You work, don't you?

We're saving that money for a house.

It doesn't matter how old they are,
men need their women to be attractive.

All they really want to do is push
a female down and attack her.

You have to read them, and
help them realize their full potential.

You started out okay looking.

- What? Did you just come out of the bath?
- Yes.

You know what?
Your mother thinks I'm not attractive.

That's why we can't get pregnant.

That's not true. You're cute, Sawa.

- Feel this. Smooth, right?
- Uh-huh.

It smells so good.
It has aromatic essential oils.

- You bought it?
- Yes, there was a sale online for cosmetics.

You're welcome to use it too, Mama.

Thank you.

Let's go to sleep.

My husband is not gay.
He just wants to be beautiful.

Before we got married, he wanted me.

But just because we don't have sex,
doesn't mean I want to break up.

We're really close. But...

All these housewives sleeping around.
Japan is coming to an end.

It's the men's fault. Once they have their catch,
the attention goes dry. Who can blame them?

Oh stop, my ears hurt. Stop.

Okay, we're going to start
our planning meeting.

The topic is housewives whom
have multiple affairs. What do you think?

A lot of the ones that use matchmaking
sites have more than three or four.

Wow, I like their stamina.
Good, let's do a special.

'Housewives with boyfriends for every day
of the week. Who is up for Thursday?'

I like it.

Yamashita and Tamura, I don't care how
you do it, find some wives to interview.

Yes, sir.

- Can Tajima can handle the camera?
- Yes.

Kato-san. Kato-san, can you draw something
that's more physically entwined next time?

Physically entwined?

Yes, your work the other day will lack some drama
with our special this issue. Not enough impact.

I need something that's straight on erotic.

Women are more erotic
when you look at them alone.

What?

Women are more erotic
when they're lying alone.

Yes, I understand. But I don't
need any refinement with this one.

I need straight on physical. Please?
Do you have something you want to say?

Are you willing to be responsible for
glamorizing affairs to these women?

Responsibility? Come on, we're in the
entertainment business, not writing textbooks.

It's their own responsibility.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

He can be oddly serious
in the strangest ways.

But he is talented.

I know, didn't he win a famous award
when he was younger?

Uh huh. He's not an artist though.

Just a paid illustrator.

- Uh, hi.
- Oh, you from the other day.

Can I talk to you?

Of course not.
I'm working right now.

Rikako isn't answering any of my phone calls.

I think she's blocked my text messages, too.

So, what do you suggest that I do about it?

We will take full responsibility for repair fees.

As well as any hospital fees
incurred by Sasamoto-san.

Are these from your own personal funds?

The student in question,
has some issues at home.

His mother is gone for long periods,
and his father is away on business.

I talked it over with the principal, and
we decided that I should take care of this.

You are a passionate teacher.

I would like to commend you,
but, I don't like this at all.

I find it hard to believe your sincerity when neither
the student or his parents bother to show up.

I'd like to suggest this proposal of yours void.

I completely understand,
but won't you please reconsider?

The student has a future ahead of him.

I will, of course, send him your way to apologize.

Hmm. How about this.

I'll reconsider if you
take me out on a date. With me.

Oh, I'm completely serious.

If you spend a day with me,
I will consider this whole case closed.

I came here with
the intent to seriously apologize.

And I am seriously proposing we go out.

Please don't joke with me.
A student's life is on the line.

Can one teacher save a student's life?

Instead of trying to fulfill
your weird moral fantasy

why don't you just take out
the victim for a date?

Your student would grow up
with more character, don't you think?

Excuse me.

I will contact you another time.

Aren't you going?

What?

Why don't you follow him, and
apologize on behalf of your odd friend?

I hear that's what scam artists do.

One becomes the villain, and
the other swoops in to save the day.

Why me?

I know you were just impressed by him.

What are you talking about?

That teacher. He's not bad.

Though a little rough around the edges.

He's probably perfect though
for someone inexperienced like you.

I don't know if this even matters to you,
but I am married.

That's why I'm suggesting it.

You can't really expect to experience
love until after you get married.

What? Is that your slogan for cheating?

Think about it.

Money, family, status.

There's so many priorities that stand in the
way when you're choosing someone for marriage.

You may not have been conscious about it.

But, I'm sure your choice was
completely calculated as well.

Now, you're being rude. I married
my husband because we fell in love.

How old are you?

I am considerably younger than you.

You said you were 31 at the police station.

Why did I know you already had your facts.

Are you really willing to forget
what it was like to be a woman?

I would rather raise a warm family than
waste my time fooling around with young boys.

You just don't get it.

You need some outside love...

so you can come home and put your
efforts in to raising a warm family.

You make no sense at all. None.

Let me ask you then.

Is your husband trying
to create a warm family with you?

Does he treasure you like he used to?

Does your husband still excite you?

I don't think so.

Marriage means
trading in passion for stability.

After three years, a wife is nothing
more than a refridgerator.

A refridgerator?

There's always something to eat
when you open the door.

It's extremely inconvenient if it breaks down, yet
not many take the time for regular maintenance.

But if you experience love outside, you'll find
yourself a lot more patient with your husband.

You won't even mind
washing his dirty underwear.

The whole family is happy.

They are, I see.

Then go ahead,
become more happy please.

Your boyfriend from the other day
was worried because you're ignoring him.

Oh, I'm done with him.

Young people are dangerous.

I couldn't be with someone
whom would call out my name.

Affairs must be kept secret.

Don't you think that's our secret for love?

Our secret?

Please, don't try to get me to sympathesize.

You call your games love?

Of course.
An affair is the perfect form of love.

Think of the many classic films
and books about love affairs.

Yes, those are stories.

But don't you have a glimmer of desire of
becoming one of those passionate heroines?

Why else the red lipstick?

I returned that red lipstick.

So? You didn't want the lipstick.

You wanted excitement in your boring life.

Maybe you're that arsonist...

You need to watch your mouth!

I actually thought of stabbing you right now.

What are you doing?

I found an insect that's
rarely found in urban environments.

Insect?

Yes. I teach biology.

Oh, biology.

It's called the four star burying beetle.
Here.

Whew, that stinks!

Oops. See, it secretes a foul odor
to protect itself from enemies.

This beetle is a particularly
rare insect that is monogamous.

Monogamous?

Like a human marriage.

A male and female will form a lasting relationship
and raise offspring together as well.

I hate it.

What?

Women that tease men.
First of all, it's not something to joke about.

Oh yes, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to say something like this.

Excuse my behavior back there.

It was immature of me to stand up
and run away in anger.

No, you had every right to be angry.

I might even have thrown a punch.

Really? You would?

Actually, I don't know.

I was meaning to tell you, I was surprised
to hear you work at Seisho Academy.

I graduated from there.

- Really?
- Yes, I did.

I was just transferred there last year.

Well, science was my least favorite subject.

Ah hah.

You're not really friends with
Takigawa-san, are you?

Wait, why do you ask?

Honestly, I just don't see
the two of you getting along.

I'm sorry for being nosy.

We are friends.

Um, I enjoyed hearing
about your monogamous bugs.

Oops, wrong way.

Are you 'Beauty of the Day'?

I sure am lucky today.

I didn't think you were going to be so beautiful.

You're not bad yourself.

How much time do we have?

My children get home from their
activities, so I'll leave by five.

Good. I need to go back to work by at least six.

We start immediately?
You don't even know my real name yet.

The only reality we have is our phone numbers.

We met each other online,
why worry about formalities now?

It's more exciting,
to just imagine those things.

How typically male of you.

A woman wants to fall in love.

Even if for only that moment.

But, you gave yourself the screen name,
'Beauty of the Day'...

I assume you weren't just looking for small talk.

I will satisfy you.

Have you seen the movie,
'Beauty of the Day'?

Yes, the old one.

The movie where wealthy newlywed
sells herself in the middle of the day.

It's a movie where there
is a punishment for every crime.

I have a confession to make.
I don't feel like cooking today.

Is it because I met him?

I can't seem to get his voice out of my head.

Hello?

- Sorry, I know you're working.
- Did something happen?

No, well, I just wondered if you wanted
to go out for dinner tonight.

Can't do tonight.
I have a meeting for an upcoming exhibition.

- I can wait.
- Huh?

Maybe I'll go the hair salon while I wait.

Come on, if you don't feel like cooking,
why don't you go buy something?

I don't care if it's the convenience store.

That's not what I meant... whatever. Bye.

From Hasegawa Misuzu:
Was that your wife?

How can you tell?

I can tell anything about you, Manager.

Come on.

Do you want to go out to
dinner after the meeting?

Alone?

Four star burying beetle.
Did you stink or what.

Do you want to have an affair?

Both of you stop running!

That would not be to your benefit.

Hurry, Mommy!

So, she thinks we stink.

I don't think she likes us.

I haven't had sex with
my husband in three years.

Eww.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Sorry to bother you.

My name is Nishiyama
from the Koizumi Police Station.

How can I help you?

I had some questions
about the fire the other night.

Oh, right. It was arson right?

Yes, do you know Mrs. Ishiguro?

No, they live too far away.

Uh, yes?

I really don't know anything.
Are you finished?

I'm sorry.
Yes, thank you for your cooperation.

How did you figure out where I live?

You said you lived in an apartment
building close by Rikako's house.

Go away.
What will the neighbors think?

Please, Rikako still won't talk to me.

Couldn't you just ask her to call me?

She said she broke up with you.

- Broke up?
- That's right.

Give it up already. Bye.

Wait, please, wait.

Let go me!

I just need to see her one last time.
I'm begging you.

Why don't you just go see her yourself?

She won't like that.
Rikako cares too much about her family.

If she cared about her family,
she wouldn't be playing around with you.

We're not playing.

You really love her that much?

She has a husband. If he finds out,
you're going to have to pay alot of money.

You wouldn't understand.

I guess I don't.

What are you doing?
Don't start crying here.

Oh... no.

No wonder she's not getting pregnant.

Only certain females will lay an egg.

These that live according to a caste
system are called social insects.

However, like this beetle here, some will stay
with a single partner and have intercourse...

They sure are going at it!

They are monogamous, like people.

Monogamous?

I liked hearing about your monogamous bugs.

Oops, wrong way.

Sir? Sir?

What does intercourse mean?

It means organisms producing offspring.

I see. I bet you just thought
of something erotic, didn't you?

Haha, look he's blushing.

Gotou.

So, do you have intercourse too?

We are in biology class now.

Humans are organisms, too.
Please answer the question.

We all want to know, right?

Yes!

We want to know!
Mr. Kitano, tell us!

Kinoshita.

You, close the door.

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh, are you Rikako-san's husband?

Who is it?

It's Katou.

I'll unlock the gate right now.

Everyone just got here.

May I use your restroom?

Yes, straight ahead and turn left.

Sawa-chan please stay.

I see that you're busy.

My husband's co-workers are
here for a house warming party.

Can I have a minute?

What's wrong?

Your boyfriend came to my apartment today.

I can't have him roaming around like that,
please just give him a call.

I'm sorry.

Hey what's going on?

Oh, nothing.
This is Sawa-chan.

Remember? We were together that day.

Why yes, of course!
Please, have her come in.

Hi, how are you?
Please, come in.

No, really, I'm fine.

Wow.

My husband, he works for a publishing house.

You've heard of the magazine, 'Bonito', right?

He's the editor-in-chief.

- Hello!
- Hello!

Hello.

- I'm Hina!
- I'm her older sister, Mana.

Thank you for coming today.

This is Sawa-chan, Mommy's friend.

- How old are you?
- Eight!

Please, enjoy the party today.

- Hello!
- Hello!

- I'm Haruna!
- I'm her older sister Mana.

Thank you for coming today.

He's scary.

Let's go.

- Shall I go get my husband?
- No.

Sawa-chan, please have a bite to eat.

No, really, I'm going home.

Come on, don't say that.

Oh, that's dirty!

Hey be careful, there's kids here.

You've got to make these decisions for yourself.

You're never going to find a job
if you don't graduate high school.

Kinoshita. Answer her.

I don't need a job.

Then how are you going to make a living?

You work and receive payment.
That's how we all live.

You wanted to know why I didn't tell the police
the truth about how they were lying, right?

- It was for the money. From that cheater.
- Kinoshita!

Mr. Kitano.
What do you mean?

If you threaten that cheating whore, she would
pay a lot of money before I told her husband.

Hey, she might even sleep with me once.

You better watch your mouth.

You guys are too immature.

This is what living is.

If you're a teacher, why don't you
stop talking about bugs for a second

and teach us how the real world works for once?

Hey wait, sit down.

I said sit down!

Just expel me for all I care.

Kinoshita, hey.
Ow!

Oh my, are you all right?

We meet models and actors
in our line of work all the time.

So, it's refreshing meeting
someone like you, Sawa-san. Right?

Yes, absolutely.

You're what a real housewife looks like,
you're what erotic really looks like.

Erotic?

- Yes!
- Oh, come on!

- Really really!
- Oh don't say that!

Oh no. I drank on an empty stomach.

Sawa-chan.
That's non-alcoholic beer.

I know.

Well tell us, how did the two of you meet?

It was the day after that fire.

Sawa-chan was kind enough to talk to me.

About that fire,
we all heard it was arson.

But, now I'm hearing that
it was a murder suicide attempt.

Suicide?

Yes. The only possibility
is that a resident started the fire.

Why burn your own house?

Hmm, for the money?
Maybe they were in debt.

There's care-taking issues, too.

No, I've heard that
it was love affair related.

A jealous wife tried
to kill her cheating husband?

But if that's the case,
what about the kids?

You have to feel sorry for them.

Maybe it's the opposite?

What? Opposite?

Maybe the wife was having an affair
and wanted to reset everything.

Yes, that's possible.

It's just like the housewives
we wrote about in our magazine.

Right Katou-san?
Don't you think so?

Would a woman really try to cover her
tracks by doing something so wasteful?

Women nowadays are much
more cunning about their cheating.

Well, I mean, you wrote
about it in your own magazine.

That's true.

Oh, ma'am, you're so beautiful,
I almost thought you were having an affair.

No no no. Never.
She's pretty but not too smart.

Excuse me?

Mommy, mommy.
You have a visitor.

It's a man called Hagiwara.

- Who is it?
- I don't know him.

Wait, it might dangerous.
I'll answer the door.

Wait, it's for me.
That's my little brother.

Little brother?

Yes, um, I told him I was coming here
today, so he came to pick me up.

Sawa-chan, excuse my inhospitality.

Oh, you were fast, let's go.

What? Let go of me, I'm not leaving!

- Do we have enough meat and beer?
- What?

Something is wrong with you.
Why would you come to her house?

You were the one who told me to come.

Ugh, I just said that to get rid of you!

Please, I need to see her.

No! Rikako-san's kids are in there.

What do you think is going to happen
if Mommy's boyfriend shows up

and starts fighting with Daddy?

I don't care, I'd rather I fight than leave.

How immature are you?

She will never take you back
if you don't grow up.

Sawa-chan.
My, that was a surprise.

It's your problem.

No, I'm talking about you.
You took my side.

I just didn't want to see
your daughters getting hurt.

I think we're going
to be very good friends.

What makes you think that?

We're both good liars.

Oh please, spare me.

Leaving already?

I finished what I came here to do.

But you've barely eaten anything.
Please stay.

I don't have to eat your food
to know I won't like it.

I'm sorry.
Look, a mosquito.

Katou-san, won't you draw for me?

You are a top artist, correct?

I always wanted
a professional to do a portrait of me.

I'm touring showrooms, will be home
late. I don't need dinner tonight. -Papa.

Hey, where do you want to go?

Sushi! Sushi!

It's Naoki's treat.

Nice, I like that.

I once had my friend who was
a manga artist draw a portrait of me

but it looked nothing like myself.

I was told my face was difficult to draw.

Hey, Rikako?
Do we have more beer?

Yes dear. Excuse me.

-You know what?
-What?

That guy that just showed up at our door.

Don't go catching a cold on me.

There's no way that's Sawa-san's
little brother. That's her lover, right?

Oh, come on. You've been thinking too much
about cheating housewives for your magazine.

No, you don't know how the world works.

I don't think you should
spend too much time with her.

Why not?

You just do as you're told by me.

Hey! Someone come help me
with the beer! It's heavy!

Let's drink, everybody!

May I help you?

Oh, excuse me.

Mr. Kitano?
Where are your glasses?

Oh, yes, I dropped them.

All right.
Well, what are you doing here?

Oh nothing,
I just passed by and I got sentimental.

Thank you very much.
Goodbye!

Pardon my rudeness,
I asked you to draw me.

Here you go.
It's finished.

My, thank you.

Sorry, if it doesn't meet your expectations.

I'm just a third tier artist.

Oh no, you are truly first class.

This looks just like me.

Are you lost again?

No, it wasn't an accident.

- I lied to you the other day.
- You lied?

I'm not friends with Takigawa-san.

She just asked me to say that.

You came by all the way
just to tell me something like that?

Something like that?

Well, yes, you know, I just hate to lie.

You mean you've never lied before?

You're meaner than you look, you know.

Oh. Your shoelaces are untied.

I do it all the time.

It's the way you tie them.

Pass the lace below here,
make a loop, and squeeze tight.

It's easy.
The other one, too.

- Yes.
- Try it.

I can't believe I've come all these years
without learning how to tie my shoes.

No, see, here.

Below, through, and then loop.

Affair.

A dirty and selfish act of passion.

It supports the hips properly.

Now, you're really comfortable.

Nice and supported.

To turn your back on your family hurt
everyone around you and lose friends

and to throw yourself off
a cliff in to a valley of deep guilt.

There's no turning back.

You know there's no way out.

Yet, you don't stop yourself from falling in.

A dangerous and secret romance.

Bye.

I will never know what it feels like.

You want me to draw for you, don’t you?

Let’s become accomplices.

Accomplices?
