Original subtitles

Um...

Sorry.

You caught me in a bad moment.

No, if anything...

I'm sorry I grabbed you like that.

I'm heading home for the day.

Sorry.

Farewell.

[March 10th]

Alright.

Please give a warm welcome to Ms. Asuka Yukihira, the clarinetist.

Nice to meet you all.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Ms. Asuka, would you like to join us for our charity performance next month?

You wouldn't mind having me?

Of course not!

Then I'd love to give it a challenge.

Wonderful! I'm terribly sorry for the short notice though...

No worries at all, I enjoy practicing.

It helps get my mind off of things.

I understand completely.

Any moment I'm not practicing, I end up anticipating the worst...

Truth be told, he hasn't been replying to my texts recently.

You mean Mr. Shizuhara?

[March 11th]

Is this all homemade?

Yes. I try to cook most of my meals.

Woah, that looks real good!

Mr. Mizuno.

The results are in for the company-wide recipe contest...

And you placed first!

- Come, look. - He placed first?

You're right, there he is.

- That's amazing. - What a feat!

Congratulations!

[New Menu Category - 1st Place: Haruto Mizuno, General Affairs, Equipment Management]

Thank you.

Mr. Mizuno.

Chief Imao of the Osaka branch is requesting to see you.

I see...?

How's it been? Glad to see you're in tip-top shape.

The name's Imao. I was your boss a year ago in Osaka.

Yes, so I heard.

Is that so? Here, have a seat.

Thank you.

It really has been a while.

Here's a souvenir.

Thank you, sir.

But man... I saw your winning recipe. First place, eh?

Reminded me of your glory days at the Osaka branch.

Made me realize your passion for food hasn't changed a bit.

So, onto the real business.

Mizuno, how would you feel about coming back to Osaka?

Pardon?

You see, we're opening a new eatery over there... and I want you to be its sub-manager.

The sub-manager...

Of course, I've come to ask, knowing full well your circumstances.

Thank you.

Give it some thought, we're in no rush.

Yes, sir.

[Goody Dining] [Osaka North Ward Eatery - Project Planning and Blueprints]

What's up?

Hey.

I saw you with your nurse... with Ms. Miyabe, the other day.

And this was outside the hospital.

Haruto, how do you feel about Asuka?

As I am now... I don't think I'm worthy enough for her.

In that case...

when will that time come?

Because if you choose to take no action...

I'll become Asuka's support.

That might be for the better.

Haruto...

Good afternoon, Mr. Shizuhara. [March 21st]

- Afternoon. - I ran into Ms. Chinami the other day.

Is that so?

She and I have...

parted ways.

But you two were so...

Please hear me out, if you would.

The other day, Chinami performed a concert at a large venue.

She was accompanied by a professional pianist, whom she knew from music school.

Their performance was a marvel, with the way they were in sync.

Yet, after listening to a spectacle like theirs...

I realized my aspirations were ridiculous. How could I ever hope to perform with her?

And as a fledging pianist, at that.

After the concert,

I couldn't help but admit her accompanist was the better man for her.

Chinami was furious.

Understandably so.

Agreed.

Apologies for griping about my own affairs.

Relocating for work?

While the ideal would be to have family residing nearby...

What have your parents said about this?

I haven't informed them yet.

And Ms. Asuka?

Actually, the two of us have split up.

I see.

Then for now, I'll contact a fellow surgeon in Osaka, and inform them of your situation.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you.

[Result Confirmation]

[Your Name: Riko Shimoda]

Riko! The results?

I passed.

I passed!

That's awesome!

Congratulations!

Here's to Riko becoming a certified physical therapist. Cheers! [March 22nd]

Cheers! [March 22nd]

- Congrats. - Thanks!

- I'm glad your efforts paid off. - Same.

Yeah, passing a state exam is no easy feat.

- Well I knew she'd make it. - Thanks.

Tomoya, didn't you also score a huge contract recently?

Right on. We've got a deal with Ozaki Supermarkets now.

- That's awesome! - Yeah, Ozaki's a major chain.

Wow!

- Congrats. - Thanks.

Congrats.

Seems like Haruto's been busy at work, too.

- He called earlier to apologize for missing tonight. - I see.

You know, Haruto's actually been offered a position in Osaka.

- Osaka? - Yup.

Right, I forgot he used to work for the Osaka branch.

Oh, really?

His decision is still up in the air, though.

- Well, I hope it works out. - Yeah.

You okay?

- Oh... - Water?

Thank you.

Everyone's making such big strides in their lives... it's amazing.

I've always had this sinking worry,

that I wasn't doing enough.

But recently, I think I've learned to not sweat it.

I know where you're coming from.

People who go and achieve their dreams are dazzling.

I remember I used to feel left behind as well.

You, left behind?

But you're so successful.

Just because others see you as successful, doesn't mean you yourself agree. Right?

I see...

You make a fair point.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with having no big dream or goal.

Pat yourself on the back for accomplishing the immediate things first.

Yeah, you're right.

I think the job's perfect for you.

Chief Imao is understanding, and knows you well.

Besides, I want to see what you'd come up with now.

- Let's meet up again. - Yeah.

- I'm heading this way. Night! - Night.

- See you. - Bye!

I'm also headed that way.

See you guys later. Night!

- Riko. - Huh?

Are you free tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Sure, why?

What?

- Good afternoon. - Hello. [March 23rd]

I've come to cancel my lessons. [March 23rd]

It's time I bid farewell to the piano as well.

Mr. Shizuhara...

Truth be told, I've never been worthy of her.

She's too good for me, and I still question why I was her choice.

I think I understand.

Sometimes you cannot help but doubt their choice.

It's an inevitable thought.

Then you should just ask them.

Jumping to the worst case scenario is a waste of time.

Sir, you've forgotten to stamp here. Please resubmit your form another day.

Of course.

Riko.

There's something I told myself I'd tell you, after your exam.

Would you... go out with me?

Sounds a bit stiff.

- Riko, be my- - Tomoya.

- 'Sup. - Hey.

Did you make it for the last train the other day?

Just barely.

Good to hear.

So, what did you need?

Well...

- Riko. - More onions?

Thanks!

I just ran out of them.

- Uh, Riko. - Yeah?

I... have a gift.

A Christmas gift I couldn't give you.

It's March.

Thanks anyway.

Riko.

There's something I told myself I'd tell you, after your exam.

So, erm...

- Will you- - Marry me.

M-Ma- ?!

Jeez, you made me wait forever.

Wait- Huh? But you had your exam.

W-Woah, this is sudden. Marriage?

I was proposed to...

Is that a no?

Of course not. Far from it.

Riko.

Will you marry me?

I promise I'll make you happy.

I'll make you happy.

Then we'll find happiness together.

Yeah, sounds good.

Here.

- Ready? - Always.

A perfect fit.

It's so pretty...

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you, too!

Hey!

Stop, let me down!

Cheers!

- Congratulations! - Thanks.

- Will there be a ceremony? - Yup.

I finally get to wear a white kimono*. [T/N: for traditional Japanese weddings]

Keep April 6th open.

- I'm looking forward to the ceremony next year. - It's this year.

But that's in two weeks.

Yeah, planning has been hell.

Isn't this all too sudden?

My dream ceremony location was booked until next year,

unless I took the 6th.

Hence the immediate decision, I see.

Still, getting married without dating? You really went for it.

We've known each other for 14 years now.

Dating wouldn't be exactly revolutionary for us.

Besides, I'm confident Tomoya would make life fun.

And now she's bragging.

I'm sure she's right, though.

Anyway, let us know if you need help with the ceremony, okay?

Thank you, I will.

Asuka, what about you?

You won't reconcile with Haruto?

I'm sure the opportunity won't present itself.

Besides, there are better people out there for him.

Better people?

Are you talking about Ms. Miyabe?

What? Why her?

They've kept in touch, even after he was discharged.

He probably enjoys her company more.

Asuka.

You should really confront Haruto about this.

He seems busy, I wouldn't want to bother.

Asuka...

Oh yeah, I have another snack to share.

I'll be right back.

Samecchi here.

I'm filming a short skit for Riko and Tomoya's wedding, and you're all helping.

By the way, don't tell Riko. Thanks!

[Celebration for the Ogawa's] [Samecchi]

[March 24th]

Asuka?

It is Asuka!

- Long time no see! - Samecchi!

- That's your costume? - Cute, right? [Riko]

Very cute. And Isao...?

I'm Miki.

Miki? Who's that?

- Thanks for coming. - Of course.

Now head on in, let's get going!

- Cute, right? - Very.

How about me?

Everyone's here, right? Let's get filming!

Did everyone memorize their lines?

Where's Haruto?

He said he'd sit out of this one.

Probably doesn't want everyone to fuss over him.

- So, about Osaka... - Right.

Are you going?

Do you think it's a good opportunity?

What's your take on it?

I'd love to accept the job, but... I have my worries.

Worries, huh?

I don't blame you.

But I say go for it.

If anything goes sideways, I'll be right there. Osaka ain't far.

And remember, if you mess up, home's always here for you.

You're real lucky to get an opportunity to pursue your passions.

I mean, think back to just months before.

Your future looked murky, and rehab was all you could focus on.

That's true.

Yeah, I think I'll give it a go.

Then you'd better bust your ass out there, you hear?

I'm glad I asked for your advice.

Asuka sure will miss you.

But I suppose that's where those "video calls" come in.

We went back to being friends.

I want to keep some distance, until I become a better man.

Another reason why Osaka's a great opportunity, I suppose.

Does Asuka know that's how you feel?

I wonder.

As a man, too, I get how you feel,

but I guarantee that day will be far.

Hell, even I've got a ways to go.

When I proposed to your mom, I was far from a "better" man.

But you can't let go of those important people in your life.

Otherwise, you'll regret it forever.

This script credits my love for baseball and Riko to Samejima,

which is totally wrong, by the way.

He's a real comedian, that's for sure.

I really wish Haruto could've joined us today.

He's the one who introduced me to Riko.

Said she was a childhood friend, and that we'd get along.

I never knew.

Looking back on it now,

I realize I have so many memories with Haruto around this place.

Tomoya.

Samejima wants to discuss the next scene with you.

Right, I've got complaints with this script.

He credits himself for everything!

Thanks.

Next time stop by when your mom's around, yeah?

I will. Tell her I said hi.

- See you. - Yeah.

We'll be filming into the night.

I think Tomoya would be really happy if you could make it.

If you find the time, here's the address.

- This angle. - Perfect.

- Good? - Yup.

Does that look okay?

Yeah, good enough.

But the wig's a bit large.

You think? I think it looks fine.

- Haruto? - Haruto!

- Congrats on the wedding. - You made it? Thanks, man!

- Long time no see. - Come on in!

Were you in the area?

Yeah, visiting my parents.

I see.

So... I'm sure you've all heard, but...

Yeah, we know.

Hard to wrap our heads around the whole amnesia thing,

but we're just glad to see you're kicking.

Now then.

How about you play "Motohashi"?

- Sound good? - Perfect.

Haruto, want a croquette?

- Meat or lotus root? - I'll take a lotus one.

Thought so.

Give it a bite, it's good.

Woah there!

And pose.

Here's your outfit.

Thanks for coming.

Nah, thanks for reaching out.

I heard the news from Kanon.

You're heading to Osaka?

Yeah, I decided it was for the best.

I see.

Haruto, Samejima's calling for rehearsals.

Get changed quickly.

Come on.

Well...

Asuka, do we have any more large jerseys?

Large? I think so.

Could I have one?

Sure, found it.

Here.

Thanks.

[March 26th]

Ms. Asuka!

Sumire!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Is today a day out with mom? Sounds fun.

We were visiting Dad together.

His death anniversary. We were visiting his grave.

My condolences.

Mom, can we go to the park?

I promised to meet Hana there.

Do you no longer see Mr. Mizuno these days?

We met recently, though only briefly.

Our relationship has gone back to that of friends.

Maybe... that's where I should have started to begin with.

I feel as though getting involved as a girlfriend...

only added to his struggles.

Sometimes, I'd even end up acting like a parent.

Looking back, I'm ashamed for all the wrong I've done.

Sometimes, I can't help but think...

that maybe...

we should've never reunited at all.

You feel nothing but remorse, huh?

My husband...

He also fell into a coma due to a hemorrhage.

He passed away three months later, without ever once waking.

As a brain surgeon, I did my utmost to save him.

Nevertheless, my abilities were simply not enough.

I've even considered quitting my profession because of this.

Yet, it's because I can empathize with my patients and their families...

that I realized I must persevere.

Although four years have passed...

My husband still remains, right here in my heart.

Of course, I cannot see him.

But he is always here.

He is always supporting Sumire and I.

Meeting someone like that in your life, is a true miracle.

No encounter is without meaning.

Ms. Akane, I believe you no doubt played a significant part

in Mr. Mizuno's recovery.

Don't just assume that you added to his struggles, or that a reunion

was for the worse.

Everyone makes mistakes.

No human is perfect.

So instead of getting caught up in your regrets,

I'd much rather you cherish encounters.

Because those encounters are precious.

They truly are.

Thank you.

Dr. Ikezawa.

You once mentioned something that stuck with me.

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

Rather, we should focus on what we hope to do, yes?

I'll take that advice in earnest.

Here's the big star of our class...

Introducing, Haruto!

Haruto!

Here are some brochures regarding a support center for those with higher brain dysfunction in Osaka. [March 27th]

They should be a great resource, if you ever need help.

Thank you.

[Osaka Rehabilitation - High Brain Dysfunction Support Systems]

Where in Osaka will you be moving to?

A company dorm in Tennouji.

Tennouji...

- That's by Abeno Harukas*, yes? - Right. [T/N: a large skyscraper with various facilities within it]

Mr. Mizuno.

Would you mind if I went to Osaka as well?

Truth be told, a fellow nurse offered me a position over there.

Since I've overseen your condition for a while now,

I thought it may be of some reassurance to you...

Yes, I know my place.

I know I can never serve as a replacement for Ms. Asuka.

Still...

I wish to help you in any way I can.

I want to repay you, for the help you extended to me long ago.

[Working in the restaurant industry was my calling. I can fully put my strengths to use]

[I wish to create a restaurant loved by folks all over the globe]

[Goody Dining's Rising Star: Haruto Mizuno (25), Osaka Branch]

- See you. - Have a good day. [March 29th]

- Good bye. - See you around.

Ms. Chinami...?

Things didn't work out between us, after all.

Mr. Shizuhara?

Pardon me.

Please allow me to borrow the piano.

Embarrassed as I am to admit...

this is the best I can do now.

Chinami, I'm sorry.

I was too scared to confront you... and us.

I'm really sorry.

I love you.

I still want to be with you, after all.

Me, too.

That was the most wonderful performance I've ever heard.

It conveyed everything you hoped to say.

Thank you.

Chinami...

Hello?

This is Asuka speaking.

Haruto, could we meet up tomorrow?

Tomorrow...

Sure.

See you then.

[March 30th]

Thanks for waiting.

When are you leaving for Osaka?

My reappointment is officially announced on April 10th.

I see.

- Sounds like a hectic schedule. - Yeah.

It definitely is.

There's something I want to ask you.

Sure, ask away.

What exactly is Ms. Miyabe to you?

I think she's someone I owe a lot to.

Her assistance has definitely helped me in many ways.

I see.

Asuka, thank you.

You're the reason I've gotten back as far as I have.

I'll work hard in Osaka.

Say, Haruto...

You know...

There's something I realized I never told you.

I love you.

I really do.

I know I haven't always made the right choices.

I'll probably still stumble along the way, too.

But I want to resolve my mistakes one by one,

and tackle the future, together.

Haruto, I want to give our relationship another go.

I can't.

I end up feeling scared, after all.

[Kazuki]

Asuka, where are you?

I tried calling, but none of my calls have gone through...

Sorry.

What's the matter? Is everything okay?

Haruto rejected me.

Kazuki...

Croquettes were on sale, and I bought too much. Would you like some?

Thank you.

I told him exactly how I felt.

But he told me we couldn't go back.

If the honest truth isn't enough...

then there's nothing I can do.

I can't face Haruto ever again, not like this.

What am I supposed to do now?

Don't feel pressured to change.

You're fine, just as you are.

I see the move is coming up.

Are you sad to part ways with Tokyo?

Partially. But this is also a great opportunity for a new start.

Do you truly believe that?

Asuka. Do you mind if I tell you a truth?

I love you.

Mr. Mizuno.

You've recovered all your memories, haven't you?

[Finale]

[Next Episode]

He was unforgettable, both as a person... and as my crush.

Haruto, how do you feel about Asuka?

I'll become Asuka's support.

You know, Haruto's actually been offered a position in Osaka.

We should've never reunited at all.

You feel nothing but remorse, huh?

No encounter is without meaning.
