[February 3rd]

The house looks run down.

Haruto decided on this place without asking us.

Is it really okay for you to live alone?

Yup, I'll be fine.

Just let me know if you need anything. I'll send it over.

Thank you.

Give me a call if there's anything.

- Tatsuya, thank you. - Have a good rest.

See you.

We got that from the capsule toy machine.

See? I have the same one.

Hello?

Asuka, how have you been?

I'm fine.

I even ate an extra bowl of ramen during lunch.

Sounds good.

Say, Asuka.

Have you contacted Haruto since that day?

There's no need to.

I see.

You don't have to worry about us.

Aren't your exams coming soon?

Make sure you don't fall sick.

Thank you.

- You take care, too. - I will.

All the best for your studies.

- See you. - Bye.

Haruto.

Here's soba to celebrate your move-in.

- Soba? - Yup.

- Can I go in? - Sure.

The fried rice is delicious.

This meal is full of carbohydrates.

Haruto.

I'm sorry.

I overheard your conversation that day.

Sorry.

I've been thinking about it all this while.

Perhaps I'm the cause of what happened between both of you.

I shouldn't have organized the year-end party.

I think it was just a matter of time that it would happen.

I should be sorry. You got everyone together, but I spoiled it.

Don't worry about it.

Haruto, are you feeling okay?

It's better this way, for both of us.

And I've a lot to work hard for at the moment.

Is that part of the reason why you decided to live alone?

Yeah.

I see.

This soba is delicious.

Thoughts?

Yeah, it looks nice.

I only wanted to see you smile.

[February 15th] [Andante Member Recruitment]

What is this?

It's a chamber music club that I'm involved in.

She said that the club is recruiting members.

I figured you may be interested.

I'm not that good a player.

It's a club for amateurs, so don't worry about it.

I've listened to their performance several times.

Though they're amateurs, I could feel their passion.

If you'd like to, please come for a visit next time.

Thank you. I'd love to.

This is the purchase order for the Second Sales Team.

Thank you. I'll check it later.

A company internal competition: Ideas for a new shop and menu.

- Yes? - 'Sup.

I brought some side dishes.

Today, we have stir-fried green onion and pork belly with miso.

Hey, Tomoya. I'm grateful that you're doing this,

and I also like your food.

But you don't have to do this. I can just order delivery.

Isn't this an important period for you?

It's better to eat fresh veggies.

Your place is on my way to Tokyo, so don't worry.

Thanks.

See you then.

Wait. Come inside.

Nah, I don't want to disrupt your revision.

I need to talk to you about something.

Asuka must be putting on a strong front.

I could tell.

That's for sure.

Are you still in contact with Haruto?

Yeah, sometimes.

I'm planning to visit him next week.

This is really worrying.

What can we do to help those two?

I think we can only watch them from a distance,

and let them know that we will be always there for them.

You are more matured than I thought.

I'm always like that.

Do you want to eat together?

It's fine. I gotta go.

Work hard for your exams.

Fighting!

- Asuka. - Mom!

Next Sunday, there will be a release event for JO1.

I'm rooting for Keigo this time!

His image is so cool, too.

Sorry, but can you repeat that again?

I said, the global boy group, JO1, will be releasing their new song.

And Keigo is my favorite.

He's amazing, both in his looks and performance!

I think I get it now.

- Can I stay at your place for now? - What?

I've arranged many appointments with my friends.

I'll settle your meals, alright?

Yeah, yeah.

It's my friend.

Hello? Yes.

Yup, I brought it along with me.

I see.

How's your new apartment?

It's near to the station, so it's really convenient.

Thanks for recommending the property agent.

The agent has been helping the hospital staff, too.

I see.

Have you bought croquettes from that shop?

No.

- Want to try it? - Okay.

Wow, this is good.

Doesn't it taste like the one from Ryugasaki?

It does.

Is there lotus root inside?

I think so.

I'll buy it again next time.

[February 18th]

[59th National Exams for Physiotherapists]

The day is finally here for the written exam.

Keep your cool. You have my support.

Thanks.

I'll do my best.

Here we go!

Yuuki hopes that you can come.

I also wish to see you.

From Mom.

This is Mr. Yuuki.

I've decided to get remarried.

[Croquette Recipe]

[Basic Recipe for Croquette]

Tomoya.

Hey Riko! Good job at the exams.

- Thanks for coming. - No worries.

I'll send you back.

Thanks.

This is great!

- I'm closing the door. - Okay.

Coffee for you.

Thank you.

Tood bad it's not beer.

I wanna go for drinks!

Yeah, let's! To celebrate the end of exams.

Will everyone come?

I'll try to invite them.

It might be a good opportunity to turn things around.

That's true. I'll leave it to you.

Alright, shall we?

Seat belt!

I'm back!

- Welcome home. - How did it go?

I had so much fun!

Glad to hear that.

I feel so alive!

You're still playing the clarinet?

Once in a while.

Great! Life is only fun iwhenyou do something you like.

- I'll get some tea. - Okay.

- Want some? - No, I'm good.

Hello?

- Asuka. - Yes?

I'm planning a party to celebrate the end of exams for Riko.

Alright if I invite Haruto, too?

I figured it'd be better to ask you first.

Of course. It's good for everyone to gather.

Okay, I'll call you again.

Okay, see you.

[Tomoya]

We're having a party to celebrate Riko's end of exams.

How about February 22nd?

Good idea! I'll be there!

Riko, good job!

We're having a party to celebrate Riko's end of exams. How about February 22nd?]

[Good idea! I'll be there! Riko, good job!]

Thanks for the food. [February 22nd]

Japanese-style breakfast is the best!

Glad to hear that.

There's more miso soup if you want.

Who is it?

It's your dad.

Yes, why are you calling?

Battery?

It's in the second drawer in the living room.

Then can you buy some?

Okay, thank you.

Is it really okay to leave Dad by himself for a week?

He takes for granted that we women should do the housework.

But who knows what will happen to me someday?

So, I've decided to train him to survive on his own.

That's true.

Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.

- Are you meeting your classmates today? - Yup.

I may be home late tonight.

That's nice.

The friends you made in school...

are worth cherishing for a lifetime.

That's right.

Thanks. It's finally over.

- Welcome. - Asuka, over here.

- Asuka. - Shall I take your coat?

Kazuki, a beer for you?

Sure, thanks.

- It's heavy. - Thank you.

- The beer looks good. - Asuka, sit here.

Thank you.

- Did you contact Haruto? - Yes.

But he said he can't confirm his schedule.

He'll come if he can make it.

Then, he might come later.

Some time ago, I went to his place to see him.

- Really? - Was he getting on well?

Yeah, he's working hard to live alone.

I see. I'm relieved to hear that.

Asuka, beer for you?

- Yes, please. - I haven't had beer for so long.

Then, shall we have a toast?

Let's pray that Rika will pass the exams.

- Yes, please. - Cheers!

Cheers!

- You've worked hard. - Thank you.

Drink up!

Let's drink.

This feels great!

Are you enjoying it?

But there's still a month to the results, you'll still feel jittery, right?

If I don't make it, I'll be so depressed.

Don't worry. You've worked so hard for it.

I believe you can do it, Riko.

Thank you.

Asuka, aren't you drinking too much?

- I can still drink. - Really?

Don't force yourself to drink.

Welcome.

Over here!

- Sorry I'm late. - Over here.

Sorry. I still have work to do,

so send my regards to Riko.

Haruto says he can't make it.

He sends his regards to you.

That's so unfortunate.

- Then, shall we drink this? - Open it!

- Let's drink up! - Kazuki, are you drinking?

I see.

- So, you're trying to enter the competition for the new menu? - Yeah.

I don't know if I should do it, but I thought I'd give it a go.

Of course, it'll be good.

Haruto Mizuno, you are the ace in our class.

Rather than remaining as the ace,

I hope to surpass that.

I want to become a better person than I used to be.

I hope that I can change for the better.

I'm glad that everyone is doing their best for the future.

That's right.

But I'm happy that we managed to meet up today.

Tomoya, thanks for everything.

- One word of thanks from you is enough. - What?

In the past, I was always thinking of achieving big dreams.

I had big dreams of becoming a pro baseball player, or getting a better salary.

But I've changed now.

I hope to help the people around me,

and I want to make them happy.

Becoming such a person is the best for me now.

I'm just blabbering, though.

Riko really did her best.

I hope she passes the exams.

Why? Are you feeling unwell?

Just a little.

Asuka, are you okay?

Be careful.

- I'm back. - Welcomeー!

- What's wrong with you? - I just felt a little unwell.

Thanks for sending me home.

I'm Yoshihata. We were classmates at Ryugasaki High.

I'm really sorry for the trouble.

- Please come inside. - No, thanks.

- Just come inside. - Mom, can you prepare something warm to drink?

- Okay. - Please make yourself at home.

Please come inside.

Have a seat.

She's sleeping like a log now.

She looks fine to me.

- That's good. - Tea alright for you?

Yes, but I'll be leaving soon. Don't bother.

It's okay. Have some tea.

Thank you.

I didn't expect her to care for the plants.

Maybe she's like her father.

Asuka has always been considerate since high school.

Really? Is that so?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Yoshihata, are you her boyfriend?

No, I'm not.

We're just friends.

That's unfortunate.

Then tell me.

Did something happen to Asuka recently?

Because I feel that she's a little depressed lately.

Since young, she's always been sensitive to the people around her.

Even if something happens, she keeps things to herself because she doesn't want to worry others.

She treats her friends the same way, too.

She prioritizes her friends over herself.

In a way, she's unexpectedly stubborn, right?

That's right.

I'm relieved to hear that.

And now that I know she has a friend like you,

I'm all the more relieved.

I'm not the only one.

Everyone hopes to support Asuka, too.

Thank you.

That reminds me! Do you want some cookies?

- Don't bother, really... - I have some here.

Thank you.

[February 23rd]

Good morning.

Good morning!

How are you feeling?

I'm better after sleeping.

That's good.

Yoshihata is a good man.

We had a good talk yesterday.

What did you talk about?

I told him that you ate a box of momiji cakes all by yourself when you were little.

Don't tell people such embarrassing stuff.

Isn't that good?

I'm going out now.

Where are you going today?

Sky Tree and other attractions.

See you. Bye!

I'm ready!

Sky Tree?

- Want to go together sometime? - Sure. When?

Let's see... Sunday?

[Teruchan's]

Three months?

It's been three months already?

Dear!

Stop saying such misleading things.

I'm just saying it's been three months since Tatsuya started working.

- You scared us there! - Dad, didn't I tell you?

That I'll work hard at the same place for three months!

I'm not your "Dad"!

Please excuse me.

- Let me help you. - His blood pressure is high lately,

so try not to agitate him.

I'm sorry.

- Shall I put it here? - Hey, Kanon.

How's Haruto lately?

I call him every day. Seems like he's getting on fine.

Seems like? Please go visit him sometimes.

Sure, leave it to me.

Nobody asked you to do anything!

I still think it's too early for him to live alone.

I should have stopped him from doing so.

But let's try to let him do whatever he wants.

That's right!

Quit being chummy with me!

I'm sorry.

Huh?

Asuka!

- Hello. - I'm glad that you came.

Please just relax and watch us.

Okay.

- Please have a seat. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

I heard from the property agent.

- You have a problem with the stove? - Yes.

He came to take a look. Thanks for giving me his number.

You're welcome, but is the problem solved?

Well, it takes time to repair it.

We still have to wait for the contractor to come.

Please have this.

It's a countertop induction cooker.

You can use it till your stove is repaired.

Can I have this?

Yes, I hardly use it.

Thank you so much.

See you.

Do you have some time?

This is delicious.

The ginger brings the taste out.

Can you taste the sweetness? Try this, too.

It's sweet.

I can taste the honey.

Which is easier on the palate?

I think it's this one.

It's refreshing and you won't get sick of it.

I see.

Can you also try this?

Okay.

I wonder if Senior is home.

He hasn't read my message yet.

Really.

Oh, he's home.

What should we do?

Let's come another day.

- I'm back. - Welcome home.

Hang on, dinner will be ready soon.

No problem.

Oh, I remembered!

Hey, Asuka.

Can I use this?

This cherry blossom honey. I've been wondering how it tastes.

I guess it's better to just use sugar.

That's it. I'll use sugar.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

This is delicious.

Is this the first time we're drinking together, just the two of us?

I think so.

You're all grown up now.

Look at this! I took this for commemoration today.

See?

- This is at Asakusa. - Wow!

- This is at the Ameyoko shopping street. - Right.

And this is the shrine where we prayed for the ticket draw.

- Wow, you had an eventful day. - I know, right?

And I went to the Sky Tree before noon.

The Sky Tree is indeed magnificent!

Asuka.

You see...

the person who gave me the honey...

We had promised to go to the Sky Tree together.

Do you remember Haruto from Teruchan's?

It's the Mizuno family. Your classmate, right?

Haruto...

he met with an accident last April.

It happened when he was on his way to meet me.

Oh my...

I see.

It must be difficult

that you both had to go back to being friends.

It's my fault for failing to understand how he thinks.

I thought he had gone through a hard time,

so I hoped that he can be twice as happy.

Since young, you've always been trying to act strong.

If I don't act strong, I'd end up crying.

Then, why not just cry it out?

That's true, too.

I don't think it's anyone's fault.

You must have also done your best in whatever you can.

It's not easy to have loved someone that much.

I hope that I can be like you and Dad

who can understand each other.

It's not what you think.

When you were in second year of high school,

your dad told me he wanted to change jobs.

- So, we moved from Hiroshima to Ibaraki, right? - Yeah.

Your dad had a hard time in his new company.

But he kept it to himself all this time,

until he broke down mentally.

I didn't notice that he was going through a rough patch.

Did that really happen...?

That's why this sort of thing happens, no matter how old you are.

Whether you are married or dating, it's difficult to understand each other completely.

I guess so.

But I think it's important to have the desire to continue understanding your partner.

And also whether you feel happy when you are together.

Do you feel happy when you are with Dad?

Yes, I'm happy.

I see.

That's nice.

Asuka, I hope you can meet such a person, too.

I want you to be happy.

By the way,

what does Dad think of your fangirling activities?

He doesn't understand at all!

It's really annoying!

Doesn't he go fishing every day, too?

I don't want you to be sad.

[February 24th]

Send my regards to Dad.

You should come home once in a while, too.

- Your dad misses you. - I will.

- Mom. - Yes?

Thank you.

Don't bottle things up in your heart.

I'm always here if you need me.

Got it.

I almost forgot.

Take this.

Okay.

Asuka, what's up?

My mom has gone back home.

She bought something from Asakusa,

and wants me to pass it to you.

Can we meet up sometime?

Let me check my schedule.

My mom kept singing your praises.

She said you're a really nice guy.

She said that you even resemble someone from an idol group.

Your mom is such a fun-loving person.

Yesterday,

my mom and I had a heart-to-heart talk.

Of course,

parents have their own lives to lead,

and they are also human.

There are many things that I don't know about them.

Now, I understand more about their past and memories.

While listening to her stories, I also reflected on myself.

Yeah, you are right.

I hope to have your support in future.

Same here, too.

- We shall take our leave then. - See you.

Kazuki.

Thanks for coming, Kazuki.

Congratulations on your appointment as the president.

Thank you.

I'll go in first.

Ms. Yukihira. [February 26th]

I heard that you decided to join the music club.

That's right. I was inspired by their performance.

- Chinami is very happy about it. - Really?

Why don't you join the club, too?

You've already taken lessons for a year.

Didn't you say it's your dream to perform together with Chinami?

That's true, but...

Mr. Shizuhara, I think you should join the club.

I'm sure Chinami would love to hear you play the piano, too.

You're right.

Maybe I should give it a try.

- Let's work hard together? - Okay!

- Good job. - See you.

See you.

Okay.

My stove has been repaired. Thanks for the induction cooker.

How should I return it to you?

[My stove has been repaired. Thanks for the induction cooker.]

[How should I return it to you?]

Are you available this Thursday?

Today is February 29th. [February 29th]

It's a special day that only comes once in every four years.

February 29th is Garlic Day*. [T/N: "Nin-niku" ("garlic") sounds similar to "ni-niku" ("2-29")]

And it's also the day the Sky Tree was completed 12 years ago.

We're graduating soon, huh?

That's right. [2012]

Graduation...

- The Sky Tree will be completed today, right? - Yeah.

It's February 29th today.

It's easy to remember since it comes only once every four years.

What will happen to us in the coming leap years?

- The next one's in 2016. We'll be in college, I guess? - Yeah.

And the next one in 2020, we'll be 26!

That makes us 30 in 2024.

Will we be married by then?

And maybe with kids, too.

You're right!

There are plenty of decorations and photography spots.

Original merchandise have also been created for this special day.

The next leap year will be in...

This is delicious! It's addictive, too.

I know, right?

I'll go back and have some cakes to neutralize the taste.

Please thank your mom for the gift.

- I also have you to thank. - Why?

I went to see my mom the other day.

Your mom?

She's remarried and we had problems between us.

The reason why I had a fight with Haruto back in college, was also due to a family quarrel,

and I vented my anger on him.

So that was what happened.

I thought I would cut ties with my family forever,

but then you told me,

that parents have their own past and memories, too.

After speaking to my mom, I realized I didn't know much about her.

So I'm glad I went to see her.

That uneasy feeling in my heart is gone in an instant.

It's all thanks to you. So thank you.

No, I didn't do anything.

But I'm happy for you.

Ms. Miyabe.

Thank you so much.

This is a gift from me.

Thank you.

You've been a great help.

I also have something that I need to return to you.

What is this?

Why do you have this?

To be honest, I met you before when I was in high school.

Really?

I met a pervert at the station,

and everyone pretended not to notice, but you did and came to my rescue.

Alright, take care.

At that moment,

I realized that I was not abandoned by this world.

In junior high, my parents passed away one after the other,

so I was taken in by my grandparents in Ryugasaki.

It was a strange place for me, and I didn't have any friends.

I thought that I would be lonely forever,

and I felt that I was forgotten in this world.

So, when you stepped forward to help me...

it was something that I could never forget.

But I didn't manage to thank you properly.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You said that you are different from the you in the past,

but I feel that you haven't changed.

You are still a warm-hearted person.

I've always been in love with you.

But I cannot keep loving you with a guilty conscience.

So, this will be the last time we meet.

Thank you for everything.

Please take care.

The view here is beautiful.

Yes, indeed.

Right?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Pelase, just for now.

Shall we go?

Asuka.

Asuka!

No way.

I can't do this, after all.

I thought I'm slowly starting to forget him,

but in fact, I still have the urge to see him now,

and hear his voice.

I was hoping that Haruto would feel the same way, too.

I was holding on to that hope deep inside.

Jeez...

what the hell am I doing?

I'm such an idiot!

That's enough. You don't have to say anymore.

Maybe we should've never reunited at all.

We shouldn't focus on what we ought to do.

Rather, we should focus on what we hope to do.

I want to become a better person than I used to be.

If I don't act strong, I'd end up crying.

Then, why not just cry it out?

I want to become a man who makes others happy.

It's all thanks to you, Asuka.

I've always been in love with you.

I still have the urge to see him now.

That's enough. You don't have to say anymore.
