Sorry.

No, I shouldn't have.

Would you...

rather not hold hands?

No, that's not it.

But this also happened on our date.

All that movie watching has made me hungry, though.

Maybe I had gone for your hand at the wrong time.

Or maybe I was being too clingy?

I just don't know what it could be...

It's not you.

It's our age.

We're eight years apart.

People might judge, especially if we held hands.

Our age also comes across in our fashion. Like on our date.

You dressed so young and hip.

We may not even look like a couple at all.

To who?

Ayaka-san, I would never want to make you feel uncomfortable.

But are we trying to prove ourselves to someone?

All I want is to hold hands with you.

That's all.

Sorry.

No, you're entirely right.

Whose judgement was I even worried about?

Instead, I've been making you feel all anxious.

I'm such a moron.

I wouldn't go that far...

What..?

It's a bit embarrassing to ask, but...

Would you hold my hand?

Of course.

I actually made potato salad for us tonight.

You did?

I'm excited to try.

38.1 degrees...

Seriously?

It's not like Kurosawa-san to take a sick day, is it?

Feel free to take the afternoon off.

[How is your fever?]

By the way, have you been preparing for the move to Osaka?

I have, but finding a place is the hardest part.

Housing is packed over there.

I see.

It must be tough, knowing you'll be apart from Kurosawa-san.

I won't deny it.

But we're only 2.5 hours away by bullet train.

It's honestly not that bad.

If you say so.

Oh no.

What's wrong?

My commission for Matsufuji Central requires some major reworking.

I'm getting called into the office tomorrow.

But isn't your Christmas date with Oshima-san tomorrow?

Whatever, it's fine. We're sort of at odds right now anyways.

You came to visit.

Thanks.

How is your fever?

It probably hasn't gone down.

I see.

Go back to sleep,

I'll whip up something -

Aoi.

I missed you.

Did you just...

call me, "Aoi"?

I blame my hazy brain.

Am I playing fair?

Definitely not.

I never realized how blissful it is...

To wake up to your beloved.

Good morning.

Morning.

Yes?

It's just sort of embarrassing.

Embarrassing indeed.

I'm still a bit sleepy.

Should we sleep in then?

Yup.

Morning.

Good morning.

How are you feeling?

Much better.

Sorry, I didn't mean to waste our Christmas like this.

We even had to cancel our hot spring reservation...

It's fine, I don't mind.

My fever's gone down.

We can still spend the day out.

It's okay, I promise.

The cold weather will only make you feel worse anyway.

But it's a holiday.

Then how about we cook together a little later?

That's nothing special though.

Exactly.

I want to cherish our "nothing special" moments, while I still can.

Oh, right...

Come join me.

I wish...

I could stay glued to your side.

Then that's what we'll do today.

No funny business.

You'll catch the virus too.

- Then I'll just join you on sick leave. - Nope, no can do.

Aw, why not?

I see no end to this...

What?

Who's there?

Merry Christmas!

Oshima-san? Why are you dressed like that?

I wanted to see you, so here I am.

I'll stay with you while you work.

But this could take hours...

I want to stay.

So let me, okay?

Oshima-san!

I want you to know I'm happy to go anywhere with you.

Still, I'll try to be more vocal about our date plans moving forth.

Sorry again.

I know we're at the office, but I have no complaints about our Christmas today.

Neither do I.

And I have to say, you look great as Santa Claus.

You mean it?

Absolutely. I love you!

I love you, too!

If I'm being completely honest,

you absolutely terrified me at first.

Really now.

Do you remember, back in the elevator?

I suppose if a tall girl like you wore heels,

you'd end up towering over us men.

I personally don't mind if someone towers over me.

You defended me, and I felt a change of heart.

Right, I remember now.

It made me realize you kept a good eye on those around you.

I love that about you, Kurosawa-san.

Both as my boss, and my partner.

I had a similar experience.

You may not remember it, though.

Sir, are you not clocking out for the day?

Not yet.

Is there anything I can do to help?

I was really thankful you reached out.

In fact, that sort of thing has happened many times now.

You may think I keep a good eye on people.

But...

I think you're the one who taught me how.

I don't want to leave you.

I know.

I'm so full.

I enjoyed dessert.

Agreed.

Should we get going?

Sounds good to me.

Ayaka-san, let me.

It's fine.

You can take the bill next time.

But...

I don't like this sort of thing.

We're a couple now.

Please don't feel obligated to pay because you're older.

I want us to be equals.

I see.

Sorry about that.

It's fine.

I want to pay.

Then no paying because you're the "guy" or whatever, okay?

- We're equals. - Equals.

Then I guess we split the bill?

Yeah, and make it even.

It's good. Want a bite?

- Yum. - Right?

Yeah.

Kurosawa-san.

This is by far the most blissful Christmas I've ever celebrated in my life.

- Really? - Yup.

Say, do you remember when we first went out for dinner?

I remember I didn't want us to go our seperate ways then.

You know, Aoi.

Being long distance

means we'll encounter misunderstandings, and anxieties.

But that's exactly why I'll express everything on my mind.

I'll be honest with you.

Okay.

I will, too.

Okay.

Aoi.

Yes?

There's something I want to ask you.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning? - Good morning.

See you later.

Right.

Are those two going out with each other?

Are they?

- You knew? - No, not at all.

Good morning.

Morning.

Could we head into work tomorrow, together?

Huh?

I mean, there's no reason to hide our relationship anymore, right?

Final credits

Final credits

I managed to buy most of the essentials.

All that's left, are...

Why are we spending our last day together running errands?

My bad.

Final credits

Final credits

Final credits

Want to step in?

Huh?

Wow, these are adorable...

You should try them on.

It's alright.

If I wore these, I'd tower over you.

Don't you remember?

"I don't mind if someone towers over me".

What do you think?

Looks nice.

♫ because...because...because...because... ♫

♫ That day you said, “Let's go" ♫

I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow...

Time flies.

It sure does.

I'll have to work hard.

Yeah.

Don't work yourself too hard though, alright?

I won't.

♫ Maybe I know, But you know what? ♫

I have to admit.

I wish we had begun dating much earlier.

♫ I'll always be next to you, any time ♫

Well...

We're dating, because we met as we are, now.

Not a moment before, or a moment after.

But right now, in the present.

♫ Also your ambiguous pretense, because... ♫

♫ I'm not good at spelling words, but... ♫

♫ It's you more than anything else to me, because... ♫

♫ You will always trip over nothing, won't you? ♫

♫ And you always say you cut your bangs too short ♫

♫ You always put others before yourself ♫

♫ That's the you I know ♫

♫ That's why I just can't leave you alone ♫

♫ The city at first light is tinged with a fragile glow. ♫

Write your reminders on a sticky note. It'll jog your memory later.

Righty-o.

That's not professional.

It's "yes, sir" and "thank you, sir", got it?

Yes, sir.

Like you're any better though.

No ragging on my mistakes.

And there are more efficient, digitalized ways to take notes.

- Afternoon, everyone. - Afternoon.

Did Tomonari already leave?

Right on the dot.

Someone is coming back today, after all.

Finally.

Love is nothing but trouble.

You smiled!

Take a good look, 'cause it's not happening again.

I can't ever leave you be.

It makes the heart unstable.

- Morita-san, a moment. - P-Pardon?

It ruins any routine.

It can even tear emotions apart.

Getting deeply involved with someone is an inconvenience.

Or so, I thought.

But now...

♫ That alone is enough to take a step forward ♫

♫ I held your hand and laughed ♫

I want to stay with this individual, and cherish our time "now".

I want to enjoy life, and the changes it'll bring.

And that's the reason...

I fell in love.
