-
My name's Ozawa.
-
First time here?
-
Just a moment.
-
Please fill this out.
-
"Patient's Name: Rio Ozawa, 14"
-
Tests show a brain tumor.
-
This type of tumor can turn malignant.
-
Median survival is about 2 years.
-
Enlargement leads to paralysis,
-
memory loss, impaired judgment.
-
At any rate, we'll need to operate.
-
Can an operation fix it?
-
Regrettably, total removal
-
the tumor is not possible.
-
Even the best surgery can't
-
prevent a relapse.
-
Is there an Ozawasan here?
-
Ozawasan?
-
Yes?
-
Here!
-
We're coming!
-
Come, Rio. It's time.
-
What's wrong?
-
I've changed my mind.
-
Please, Rio. We've discussed this.
-
I can't go through with it. Please!
-
I'll do whatever it takes!
-
This is what's best for you!
-
No, it's not!
-
Just stop it!
-
Whoa.
-
What's so funny?
-
Nothing.
-
Shall we go?
-
"Death Registration: Kouki Ozawa"
-
You okay?
-
She's going all out.
-
Today's the day to play hero, isn't it?
-
Was it? I don't remember.
-
You really didn't bring any money?
-
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-
It's impossible.
-
I've nothing left. Forgive me.
-
A promise is a promise, Tomoko.
-
I'm completely broke.
-
I've got nothing to give. Please!
-
I see. Then you'll have to earn it.
-
What?
-
Get naked. We'll post your
-
pictures on a porn site.
-
Strip her.
-
Okay.
-
Just sit still. It won't take long.
-
She's such a pain.
-
Somebody help!
-
Quiet!
-
Somebody...
-
One, two, three...
-
That's enough.
-
Rio?
-
What is this?
-
Looks pretty cruel.
-
You all right?
-
We were just...
-
You're my friend, Naoko.
-
But I don't like bullies.
-
Yeah but she...
-
I don't like this.
-
I'm sorry, Rio.
-
Here.
-
You gonna be okay?
-
Don't worry.
-
You won't be bullied anymore.
-
Oh come on. Don't cry.
-
Chin up.
-
I don't know how to thank you.
-
I've lived in fear every day.
-
It's been hell.
-
With nobody lifting a finger to help.
-
We said, "Don't cry."
-
Yeah, be strong.
-
There, a smile.
-
That's the spirit.
-
Why are popular girls like
-
you helping me?
-
Why? Because we can't let
-
friends suffer.
-
That's right.
-
Exactly.
-
"Friends"? With me?
-
Rio! It's about time.
-
That's my boyfriend, I guess.
-
Wow.
-
Come on.
-
Looking cute, Maki! Hair cut?
-
No.
-
Oh. Stunning as usual, Miho.
-
Thanks.
-
And you're...
-
Tomoko.
-
Right, I remember now. What's up?
-
How do you do?
-
Hi.
-
Cute, eh? Tomoko's a dear friend
-
treat her nice, okay?
-
With pleasure.
-
Ken! Over here!
-
Hi, ladies!
-
This here is... Kumiko.
-
Tomoko.
-
Show Tomoko around.
-
Sure thing. Hi, Tomoko.
-
Aren't you cute!
-
What? Oh no, not me.
-
Rio!
-
That was fun! I should do
-
this more often.
-
Not that I can.
-
Why not? Why can't you?
-
Well, it's expensive for one thing.
-
You've got to earn money.
-
We all do. Right?
-
That's right.
-
Of course.
-
Really? Like parttime jobs?
-
They pay that well?
-
They do, if you know the secret.
-
Really?
-
Why don't we show her tomorrow?
-
Yeah, let's!
-
You're up. Morning!
-
Feeling okay?
-
Why am l...?
-
You passed out after three gin
-
and tonics. I carried you here.
-
I did that?
-
Is this your house?
-
No, it's a "studio" that
-
Papa rents for me.
-
Really?
-
Wow!
-
Your father must be something.
-
That's infinitely better.
-
Whoa!
-
Is that Tomoko?
-
You're gorgeous!
-
Perfect, huh?
-
Smokin' hot!
-
So what're your jobs?
-
High pay means physical labor?
-
You could say that.
-
Like where you register online
-
for temp work?
-
Not exactly.
-
Oh... then what could it be?
-
It's paid dating.
-
What?
-
We date sugar daddies.
-
It's just sex. No biggie.
-
And boy, does it pay.
-
Hundreds of dollars just to sleep.
-
But...
-
I mean, look at the condo
-
Rio's "Papa" got her.
-
"Papa"...
-
We're friends, right? Join us.
-
You'll get to play all you want,
-
and hang with us.
-
You don't want that?
-
No, I do! But...
-
Let her be. Maybe Tomoko is
-
different from us.
-
Go on home, Tomoko.
-
What?
-
I forced my friendship on you.
-
It's just all so new.
-
You stay pure as you are.
-
We're all defiled.
-
But it's our bond.
-
It was brief, but we enjoyed
-
having you with us.
-
Let's go.
-
Rio!
-
Let me join you. I want to join you.
-
What?
-
I want to be with you guys.
-
You don't have to.
-
Yeah, it's not for everybody.
-
No, I'll be fine. I promise.
-
I like being with you guys.
-
What's more, you're my saviors.
-
Oh, Tomoko. Thanks.
-
Rio?
-
Sea slug, maybe?
-
Not that slimy.
-
A pickle?
-
No way. A pickle's bumpy.
-
It's surprisingly smooth.
-
And pinkish.
-
I expected worse.
-
Everywhere else is hairy.
-
Barbapapa.
-
A guy's "thing" is like Barbapapa.
-
Come on. It's not that cute!
-
That's basically it, Tomoko,
-
with slight variations.
-
Let's go through it again.
-
What do you do first?
-
While he showers, I email you the
-
hotel name and room number.
-
Good. Any sign of trouble
-
and we'll be there.
-
Under no conditions do you
-
give out your number.
-
Gotcha.
-
Am I good or what? Perfect focus.
-
'Course, it's automatic.
-
Forgive me! I had no idea!
-
Please!
-
Listen, Bro. She's 17.
-
You can't bring a minor here.
-
I don't know what came over me.
-
I won't do it again!
-
Okay, okay, okay.
-
5 grand, then.
-
What? I don't have that.
-
That's too bad.
-
I guess I'll visit your place of
-
work tomorrow. See you then!
-
. No! Okay, okay!
-
I'll find a way to pay!
-
Absolutely dazzling!
-
Aren't you buying anything?
-
I've never been in a store like this.
-
What would I buy?
-
How about this?
-
Yeah, that's really cute!
-
We'll take two.
-
Wrap them, please.
-
Certainly.
-
No, don't. I'll pay for it myself.
-
It's a gift... to celebrate our friendship.
-
Matching pair.
-
I'm speechless, Rio!
-
You're such a cry baby.
-
Could you believe that guy?
-
On his knees crying and begging.
-
I worked hard today, Rio.
-
First things first.
-
Right. Here you go.
-
- Nice work.
-
Yup.
-
Your cut.
-
And here... this is for tonight.
-
Thanks.
-
The wait is over! Oh, Rio!
-
Thanks, Naoko.
-
Thanks to you, we roped in Tomoko.
-
I'm glad. Anything for you, Rio.
-
This is for today.
-
Truth is, I'm jealous of those three.
-
You're always with them.
-
It's just because they're useful.
-
You're my only real friend.
-
That's our little secret.
-
Yeah.
-
Who is this guy?
-
Don't know.
-
He's not bad, though.
-
Serious?
-
What's this?
-
Wow... film.
-
I've never seen that before.
-
It's pretty.
-
Rio, look! It's the wrong Ozawa.
-
Different first name.
-
Stupid store gave you the wrong photos.
-
Want me to call and complain for you?
-
No, I'll call.
-
But why'd he take photos like this?
-
He's a narcissist.
-
Could be lD photos.
-
Probably.
-
Yes, that'll be fine. Good-bye.
-
Did you tell 'em off?
-
Does he have yours?
-
I'm meeting him tomorrow.
-
Who'd you call?
-
Kouki Ozawa.
-
Not the photo store?
-
No.
-
Hi, there!
-
You're really cute.
-
Waiting for someone?
-
Looks like you've been stood up.
-
Get a cup of coffee with me.
-
'Course, I forgot my umbrella.
-
So we'll have to share yours.
-
Take it.
-
- But it's a Vuitton.
-
Get lost.
-
What?
-
Take this and go.
-
If you insist.
-
Mr. Ozawa? I'm Rio... Ozawa.
-
Ah.
-
How do you do?
-
Here you go.
-
Thanks. Can you believe that stupid photo store?
-
Yeah, if they'd only checked,
-
they could've spared us this trouble.
-
Trouble?
-
Yeah, and in this weather.
-
Yes, you're right.
-
- So...
-
So?
-
Do you have mine?
-
Oh, of course.
-
Here.
-
Thanks. Well, I'll be off.
-
Okay.
-
Wait!
-
Yes?
-
I rushed out so fast I forgot my umbrella.
-
Could I join you as far as the station?
-
Yes, of course.
-
What a downpour, huh?
-
Indeed.
-
I see you had trouble with your photo shoot.
-
Yeah.
-
Lower your chin and try for slight overexposure.
-
What?
-
The secret to taking a good picture of yourself.
-
I see.
-
You're quite tall.
-
I am?
-
About 6-foot-one?
-
Something like that.
-
Blood type B, but people think
-
you're an A.
-
I'm an "O."
-
I'm an A that looks like a B.
-
Is that so?
-
And you're from?
-
Mr. Ozawa!
-
I'll do whatever it takes!
-
We agreed...this is what's best for you!
-
No, it's not!
-
Just stop it!
-
We'll keep Mr. Ozawa here tonight just to be
safe.
-
What's wrong with him?
-
His symptoms are stable.
-
You needn't worry.
-
We'll do some tests tomorrow.
-
I understand. Thank you.
-
That girl waited around for hours, worrying about
you.
-
Maybe you should've said a word of thanks.
-
Catch a cold, Rio?
-
You okay?
-
It's nothing.
-
Well, shall we get to work?
-
Okay.
-
- You're cute.
-
Thanks.
-
Excuse me.
-
Hello?
-
What? Something wrong?
-
Something urgent's come up.
-
Getting the jitters, huh?
-
Don't worry. I'll be gentle.
-
I'm sorry. I've gotta go.
-
Hey!
-
Hello? Hello?
-
Rio's late. That's rare.
-
Yeah, she's usually the quickest
-
worker among us.
-
Maybe her cold is slowing her down.
-
Speak of the devil.
-
She's gone home.
-
Still in top form.
-
Hello? It's Rio Ozawa.
-
Mr. Ozawa?
-
Where are you now?
-
Hospital lobby.
-
Hello?
-
Hello?
-
Why're you...?
-
I don't know.
-
Why'd you come here?
-
I don't know. I was worried.
-
Worried about what? You don't even know me.
-
You're 6'1", blood type O,
-
a little anti-social...
-
sad and distant...
-
someone who's lost hope.
-
Am I wrong?
-
Six feet even.
-
What?
-
My height.
-
I was close.
-
Anti-social is right.
-
Did I just see a smile?
-
So it's possible.
-
No, I didn't.
-
- You did.
-
- I've never smiled.
-
Liar.
-
I'm not good with people.
-
So I think...
-
Don't worry.
-
That's my area of expertise.
-
The Hojo Regents unified land tenure and
taxation code...
-
to establish a stable stream of revenue.
-
It extended bureaucratic reach into...
-
Teach me Japanese history.
-
What? Why me?
-
What do you mean "why"?
-
I saved your life, right?
-
Then what?
-
Then I got the professor to promise me private
lessons.
-
Come next Monday, then.
-
I will!
-
I hoped to have dinner with him, and find out
more...
-
his likes and dislikes.
-
No way! You have a rival!
-
A real viper, too, I bet.
-
I think so.
-
4-inch heels and deadly perfume.
-
How do you know?
-
By the timing of her entrance.
-
It's standard.
-
Straight out of a comic book.
-
Have a visitor?
-
Yes, an acquaintance.
-
I was just leaving.
-
Wait a second.
-
- Kaori's just...
-
"Kaori," huh?
-
It's not my business.
-
Why did I behave like that with the professor?
-
Oh come on... you kidding me?
-
You've fallen in love, what else?
-
- Love?
-
Love. Like this.
-
Give me a break.
-
If not love, then what?
-
No way.
-
You're cute when you're jealous, Rio.
-
What a relief. Rio's human, too.
-
What's that mean?
-
Come in.
-
Excuse me.
-
Oh, it's you.
-
You really are in high school.
-
It surprises everybody.
-
I'm ready to learn, Sir.
-
This was the Battle of Okehazama.
-
And what a fight it was.
-
Arguably the greatest upset in military history.
-
Aided by rain, Nobunaga led an assault
-
on lmagawa's forces undetected...!
-
You really love history, don't you?
-
Sorry. I get carried away.
-
No, you make it easy to understand,
-
and really enthralling.
-
Oh, I don't know.
-
Let's end here. We'll pick up from
-
Okehazama next time.
-
Okay.
-
I'm sorry about the other day.
-
What?
-
I was very rude. I don't know
-
what got into me.
-
I shouldn't have taken that attitude with you.
-
What's more...
-
I'd like to apologize to your girlfriend.
-
Oh... no, that's okay.
-
Kaori is... that woman is my cousin.
-
Your cousin?
-
Yeah. So it's not what you think.
-
Really?
-
Why do you follow me?
-
Because you're there.
-
Strange answer.
-
Listen, some might call this "stalking."
-
You ever see a stalker this cute before?
-
Here goes.
-
Why me?
-
What's wrong?
-
Your food's getting cold.
-
This ramen's amazing!
-
Really? Seems pretty
-
runofthemill to me.
-
Trust me.
-
Tell me, professor... do you have a wife or
girlfriend?
-
Nope.
-
Seems a waste.
-
Not interested. Too much trouble.
-
You gay?
-
No.
-
I'm kidding. Don't get angry.
-
I'm not angry.
-
I'm just not good with people.
-
I see. Must be hard for you.
-
Sometimes.
-
Don't you get lonely?
-
I've never felt that, no.
-
What if I gave you company?
-
What?
-
No alcohol.
-
I'll be your girlfriend.
-
You can't.
-
Why not? Am I that unattractive?
-
No, you're young, charming and pretty.
-
Then why?
-
Well, you're a minor, for one.
-
So what?
-
It's a big deal.
-
Well, I'm an adult... In every way.
-
What?
-
Did you just have a dirty thought?
-
No, I didn't!
-
G' night.
-
Thanks for dinner!
-
Welcome.
-
Hamburger joint next time?
-
Now hold on.
-
No?
-
Like I said...
-
If I score 100 on my school history exam,
-
take me on a date.
-
It'll make me study real hard!
-
A date with me as a reward? Why?
-
What kind of teacher are you?
-
You want to crush a student's drive to excel?
-
All right.
-
Yes! Woohoo!
-
Fine, now goodnight.
-
Goodnight.
-
Professor?
-
Just tell me when.
-
When what?
-
When my age no longer matters.
-
Until then, I'll forgive any other woman you have.
-
Professor!
-
Stop it.
-
Stop.
-
Shall we get going?
-
Why not? Let's roll.
-
Rio?
-
You okay?
-
Forgive me.
-
I know I started this, and I'm being selfish...
-
but I can't keep doing this after I met him.
-
Rio?
-
Talk to us.
-
What about Yuji?
-
I plan to tell him. And "Papa," too.
-
We won't be able to use the condo anymore.
-
You serious? You're really in love?
-
Yeah.
-
You dating?
-
No. Actually, he's not that interested in me.
-
You're kidding? He must be something.
-
He's an ordinary guy.
-
Really?
-
I thought it was kind of cool
-
the way you removed yourself...
-
you know, from love and all that.
-
Disappointed?
-
No, I'm actually... relieved.
-
You're a regular girl, after all.
-
Yuji...
-
Can I ask a favor?
-
Sure.
-
Sleep with me one last time.
-
Please! I didn't see this coming!
-
As a final memory, please!
-
One last time!
-
I missed you, Rio.
-
What's so urgent?
-
I've fallen for someone.
-
I mean completely.
-
Are you... cutting me off?
-
'Course not! We're friends forever.
-
Just not romantically.
-
And you expect me to accept that!?
-
I thought we were special!
-
You want me to be like Tomoko and the rest?
-
We can still be the same, right?
-
I'm sorry.
-
Rio, how'd it go?
-
No.
-
One measly point.
-
I'm telling the teacher off crushing love!
-
Yeah, let's!
-
He's too picky!
-
Marking off for this and that!
-
It's okay.
-
Thank you guys, though.
-
But I did my best.
-
I have to tell the professor.
-
How'd it go?
-
Let me see.
-
"Who commanded the riflemen at the battle of
Nagashino?"
-
Sassa, Maeda, Nonomura, Akechi, Ban... oh, l
see.
-
He docked you for Akechi, huh?
-
He was looking for the name, Fukutomi.
-
But newer theories place Akechi among them as
well.
-
So if I were grading this...
-
it's correct.
-
Here.
-
Really? Truly?
-
Does this mean a date?
-
Well, a promise is a promise.
-
Yes! I did it! Yes!
-
Wait... you wanted to go on a date with me, didn't
you?
-
No! That's how I would grade it!
-
As a neutral scholar!
-
Fine, whatever.
-
Sorry. Wait long?
-
Where shall we go?
-
Anywhere you want.
-
No, it's your celebration.
-
We can even shop if you want.
-
I want to go where you want.
-
What's this?
-
Senbon was beheaded here.
-
In 1560, by Munenori Nasu at the Battle of
Matsugahara.
-
An inscription!
-
Come take a look at this! Incredible!
-
Professor, come here!
-
What is it?
-
This helmet has the word "ai" on it.
-
That means "love"!
-
That was Kanetsugu Naoe's helmet.
-
It honors AizenMyoo, god of love.
-
I think it suits you.
-
Hey!
-
Come on, Rio.
-
Did you just call me "Rio"?
-
Keep going, Rio Ozawa.
-
Wait up!
-
This is what I wanted to show you.
-
Next, the Kawanakajima Battle site.
-
What clothing brand is that?
-
It's the Toyotomi family crest.
-
Nice souvenir, Tomoko!
-
Thanks, Rio.
-
It's cute.
-
And for Maki...
-
Me, too?
-
Kenshin Uesugi!
-
Ugh.
-
This is Miho's.
-
Whose crest is this?
-
Mitsunari lshida.
-
These were hard decisions.
-
You really didn't have to get us souvenirs.
-
Of course I did!
-
Thanks to you, I got to date the professor.
-
Oh, I've got photos!
-
That's more like it.
-
Ta-dah.
-
This is the ravine where Masamune laid in
waiting.
-
Wow... who's Masamune?
-
Rio, what's this?
-
A head tomb. Very romantic.
-
Coming!
-
Is Naoko in?
-
No, she stepped out.
-
I see. I'll check back later.
-
Rio!
-
You're here!
-
I just wanted to see how you were doing.
-
You haven't been to school.
-
What is this!?
-
It's so cool! Wow! Are you sure?
-
Of course.
-
Thanks, Rio. I'll wear it every day!
-
Who was that man with you?
-
He's my mom's squeeze.
-
A loser.
-
He makes her work while he gets drunk.
-
Real dirtbag.
-
You look thin. Have you been eating?
-
Rio?
-
What is it?
-
Nothing.
-
Really?
-
Happy?
-
With what?
-
You know what.
-
Well, are you happy with me?
-
Wrong book.
-
So! Do you like me!?
-
Tell me!
-
"ldiot."
-
Ow.
-
What?
-
Very sharp. You look great.
-
Whatever, let's go.
-
No, really.
-
Thanks.
-
Hey... can I assault you?
-
No, you can't.
-
Rats.
-
What's "14" mean?
-
Today's the 12th. October 12th!
-
Hey... you asleep?
-
It was seen as a shift to a new
-
order befitting of modern times.
-
The edict was used to justify an
-
attack on Odawara Castle but...
-
...anyone in defiance was...
-
um.... namely, Hojo Ujimasa was ordered to...
-
...commit harakiri.
-
Excuse me.
-
Names get harder to recall at my age.
-
FujiwaranoKamayatsu.

FujiwaranoKamayatsu.
-
You mean "Kamatari."
-
That doesn't exercise the face.
-
FujiwaranoKamayatsu.
-
Give it a try. It's real effective.
-
I'll pass.
-
FujiwaranoKamayatsu.
-
Fu...
-
What?
-
What's up, professor?
-
Quiet.
-
I can't breathe!
-
Okay, it's "Kamatari." Forgive me.
-
No way. You dishonor the Fujiwara founder.
-
I don't understand but I'm sorry, anyway.
-
Now what?
-
My funeral photo.
-
I read online that one should have one ready.
-
Saves a lot of headache later.
-
Living is hard, but things don't get any easier
after death.
-
Please reconsider another surgery.
-
I know it'll leave you disabled, but it'll lengthen
your life.
-
And that's if it goes well.
-
I don't want to live to be a burden on people.
-
Well, I'd rather have my only cousin live.
-
You can survive without me. You're strong.
-
That's not the point.
-
I haven't seen you smile in years.
-
You've changed.
-
Yeah?
-
Does she know? The girl you're dating?
-
It's not her problem.
-
Tell me why.
-
Why won't you say it?
-
Don't you love me?
-
You should show your feelings.
-
Love lives for that, you know.
-
I'd even accept a halfhearted attempt.
-
Give it a shot.
-
I'd like to be alone today.
-
Well, I love you!
-
I'm not afraid to say it!
-
As loud as I can!
-
In a long email!
-
In the look on my face,
-
color of my nails, my dress!
-
In my timeconsuming hairstyle!
-
I'll express my love for you
-
every way I can!
-
Not Maki. Yes, it was.
-
No, no way. Yes way.
-
Who then? it was you.
-
Tomoko spilled it. Naoko?
-
Hey, Naoko! Where've you been?
-
It's okay, Tomoko.
-
Yeah.
-
Join us for lunch,
-
Rio...
-
I'm sorry, Rio.
-
Maki!
-
Naoko!
-
It's your fault! You took Rio from me!
-
Rio!
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko!
-
Stay away!
-
Naoko, don't! Come here!
-
It's too late!
-
Why?
-
My mom's boyfriend...
-
I killed the bastard!
-
What?
-
He kept...
-
...molesting me.
-
Over and over.
-
But I couldn't...
-
...tell that hag... my mom.
-
Naoko.
-
He dumped her yesterday.
-
Know what she said?
-
She said it was my fault.
-
No.
-
It makes you wonder why I was ever born.
-
I guess I was a mistake from the beginning.
-
Stop it! Nobody's a mistake!
-
You weren't a mistake, Naoko!
-
You're kind, Rio.
-
I've always adored you.
-
So I was glad we became friends.
-
I didn't have any real friends before you.
-
I'm sorry.
-
I really am.
-
Don't be.
-
You made me feel wanted for once.
-
You were my idol, Rio.
-
It doesn't matter how I was with you.
-
I was just glad to be with you.
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko...
-
Don't, Naoko.
-
No one's over there. I'm here!
-
You belong here.
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko, please!
-
See? Everyone's calling you.
-
Come. We'll be together always.
-
I'm sorry.
-
If I'm with you, I'll just get in your way.
-
Well? Cool, huh?
-
I knew it.
-
It looks rad on me.
-
Rio...
-
Thanks for everything.
-
I loved you.
-
Naoko!
-
Naoko!
-
Rio! Think about it! Rio, stop!
-
I've got to tell Tomoko.
-
I can't keep hiding it!
-
You want Tomoko to end up like Naoko?
-
I won't let that happen.
-
Rio!
-
Tomoko!
-
Rio! Guys?
-
What's up?
-
Listen, Tomoko...
-
You caught me.
-
I wanted to make this picture a surprise.
-
When it's finished, it'll be my present to you all.
-
Tomoko, I've got to tell you about Naoko.
-
Okay.
-
I ordered Naoko to bully you.
-
She never hated you or anything like that.
-
What? I don't understand.
-
It was awful. I'm so sorry.
-
How could you do something like that!?
-
I'm sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me.
-
You, too?
-
No! It was all my doing.
-
No, it wasn't.
-
We went along with it.
-
I feel so stupid.
-
I thought you were real friends!
-
What an idiot I am!
-
Tomoko... good morning.
-
Rio!
-
Maki, Miho...
-
What happened?
-
How're you feeling, Rio?
-
You passed out from stress.
-
You're supposed to rest.
-
Oh, yeah.
-
Sorry.
-
Tomoko.
-
She's been with you the whole time.
-
Thanks, Tomoko.
-
Did something happen, Rio?
-
The professor left.
-
What?
-
How so?
-
I went to his place. It was empty.
-
No letter? Or phone number?
-
What? Is he out of his mind?
-
I was too pushy. I exhausted him.
-
No excuse.
-
It's my punishment.
-
For all my cruelty.
-
For making Tomoko suffer...
-
for pushing away Naoko.
-
I deserved it.
-
I've been wondering.
-
Why you kept me in your circle.
-
Why you threw yourself on me to protect me from
Naoko.
-
My old friends never even tried to help me when l
was bullied.
-
But you did, even when I was no use to you
anymore.
-
You may have lied, but you saved me twice.
-
So I vowed that someday I would return the favor.
-
This is my chance.
-
Tomoko.
-
Tell us, Sir.
-
Where did the man in that old house
-
on 6th Street move to?
-
A guarantor's name on his lease would do.
-
I really can't tell you that.
-
It's confidential information.
-
Don't be that way, Boss.
-
You've put me in a bind here. Let's just party.
-
That stubborn old pervert.
-
We'll break him tomorrow.
-
This is proving harder than I thought.
-
Too few clues.
-
Try again tomorrow.
-
Right.
-
What?
-
Who's that?
-
Don't tell me...
-
...it's Kaori.
-
Kaori!
-
Who're you?
-
Are you Kaori?
-
Yes. Do I know you?
-
You've come to see Rio?
-
No.
-
What're you here for?
-
Regular checkup.
-
She's hiding a pineapple!
-
You came to visit Rio, come on!
-
I did not.
-
Why the pineapple then?
-
Why not?
-
It's unnatural.
-
Whatever. Go and see Rio.
-
No, thanks.
-
He can't just leave without telling her why. That's
low.
-
You know nothing about Kouki.
-
Rio's still madly in love with the professor.
-
Seriously.
-
Dead serious.
-
Let her see him.
-
This is for you.
-
Thank you.
-
How're you feeling?
-
I'm fine. Just got a little anemic.
-
Kouki says to apologize for the sudden job
transfer.
-
He's got to absorb himself in his research.
-
I see.
-
That photo.
-
It's the photo that brought us together.
-
The moment I saw it...
-
it was like an electric shock ran through me.
-
My mind went blank.
-
My friends laughed at me, saying it was love.
-
He made me want
-
to start my life over again.
-
And I felt like spending it
-
entirely with him.
-
But he didn't feel that way.
-
The harder you love,
-
the more it hurts.
-
Yes, it hurts like hell.
-
But that's how a woman learns her fate.
-
Don't say you heard it from me.
-
Kouki's new address.
-
Go prove your love.
-
But l...
-
You can decide when you see him.
-
I didn't think you'd come.
-
Your friends pushed me for 15 hours.
-
Good friends.
-
Yeah.
-
Too good for me.
-
There's something I couldn't tell
-
you out of fear you'd hate me.
-
If I did, you'd pull farther away.
-
I'm resigned to anything.
-
Your friends would keep hounding me anyway.
-
3 years ago, something happened
-
that turned me bad.
-
Bullying, prostitution, blackmail.
-
I was kind only to those I could use.
-
In the end...
-
I hurt those who cared for me.
-
That was all before I met you.
-
What happened 3 years ago?
-
When I was 14...
-
I was raped, and got pregnant.
-
My parents insisted...
-
...that I abort the child, of course.
-
From then on...
-
I felt I'd rather hurt people
-
than be hurt by them.
-
Did that help?
-
It showed me there were worse
-
things than being hurt.
-
Seeing a loved one get hurt was
-
a million times more painful.
-
I can't believe it took 17 years to learn that.
-
I see.
-
But you're no longer the same person.
-
You've been through a lot.
-
You have friends.
-
You're not alone.
-
I'm guessing you have the strength
-
and compassion...
-
...to fight off anyone who tries to
-
hurt you now.
-
Professor, the truth is I still...
-
I've started a new research
-
project at this school.
-
It's a great environment.
-
I'm real happy.
-
Yes. Of course.
-
I just wanted to say thanks.
-
That's all I planned to do.
-
I'm so pathetic.
-
You okay?
-
Yeah.
-
Hang in there.
-
You, too.
-
Bye.
-
Wait! Stop the bus!
-
Professor!
-
Kouki Ozawa, 35.
-
He arrived unconscious.
-
His body was convulsing but
-
stopped in transit.
-
Can you hear me, Mr. Ozawa?
-
Brain scan and 1 amp of saline
-
diluted Alleviatin.
-
Are you Mr. Ozawa's family?
-
I'm Ozawa.
-
Sister?
-
If there are other family members,
-
please call them.
-
Is my brother going to be okay?
-
We'll explain in detail later.
-
In all frankness, it doesn't look good.
-
See this white ring?
-
It's a malignant tumor.
-
Brain surgery 3 years ago couldn't remove all of
it.
-
It was only a matter of time.
-
Wait.
-
What you're... saying is...
-
... my brother's going to die?
-
You should value your time
-
together as a family.
-
Hiya!
-
Rio.
-
Care package delivery!
-
Thanks.
-
This might be clutter but...
-
...you might want it.
-
It's clutter.
-
I just realized something.
-
Those photos you took were for your funeral?
-
Well... no...
-
You took them yourself thinking
-
you might die.
-
You're too prepared!
-
It wasn't that.
-
You could've at least smiled for them.
-
I suppose so.
-
Care for a pineapple?
-
Since when did you become
-
my little sister?
-
Hey, Bro!
-
Stop it.
-
I never said I was your sister.
-
All I said was my name's Ozawa.
-
You implied it.
-
Really?
-
Well, if you plan on dying, I'll kill you.
-
I see. So I die either way.
-
I never expected this in my
-
wildest dreams.
-
I remember being told how much
-
time I had left to live.
-
I was a walking corpse of 35,
-
and then a girl appeared.
-
Said her name was Rio.
-
Pushy, aggressive...
-
yet delicate.
-
Kindhearted and beautiful.
-
What man...
-
... myself included...
-
...wouldn't fall in love with you?
-
But I thought, "Uhoh, I'd better try hard to resist."
-
It would be stupid...
-
...for a man facing death to
-
start something new.
-
And yet...
-
I was wrong.
-
With your arrival, my life...
-
...grew warm, humorous and tender.
-
Just in time.
-
I never felt more alive.
-
So it's ironic that you should come along...
-
...and give my life meaning.
-
Thank you.
-
You're an idiot.
-
Our encounter is just a beginning!
-
It's much more!
-
I'll be much more!
-
So please, professor! Watch me!
-
Take it easy.
-
I won't! Stop being selfishly dramatic!
-
Rio.
-
How do you do that?
-
Live with such passion.
-
Don't you even know?
-
It's 'cause I met you.
-
Kouki...
-
...you brought me light.
-
It wasn't supposed to go like this.
-
I was supposed to die quietly.
-
Since meeting you, I actually...
-
...began wishing for...
-
...more time.
-
I want more time with you.
-
Professor, please. Have the operation.
-
Stay with me.
-
No.
-
Why not?
-
I may not even know who you are.
-
What meaning is there if I forget?
-
It's okay. I'll remember everything.
-
I may be paralyzed. It'll be a big burden on you.
-
That's okay... as long as you're alive.
-
I'll be even more difficult
-
with people than I am now.
-
I told you... that's my specialty.
-
Okay.
-
But promise me one thing.
-
No matter what...
-
...even if I die...
-
...you keep looking straight ahead and live.
-
Stay true to yourself. Don't waver.
-
I'll be watching to make sure.
-
Okay. I promise.
-
Here.
-
No limit.
-
Please start getting ready.
-
Okay.
-
It'll go great.
-
Yeah.
-
Rio...
-
I love you.
-
What's that about?
-
Love lives to be expressed, right?
-
I was tired of waiting.
-
Even the weather celebrates.
-
Graduates, parents, guardians...
-
...congratulations.
-
We've owe this great milestone in life...
-
to each and every one of you.
-
Hello.
-
Hello.
-
Um...
-
Yes?
-
I um... rushed out so fast.
-
And forgot my umbrella.
-
Could I join you as far as the station?
-
Of course.
-
What a downpour, huh?
-
Yes.
-
But I like rainy days.
-
You do?
-
Thank you.
-
You're welcome. Where to?
-
Tokyo.
-
I see. Well... I live that way.
-
Yes.
-
Say!
-
Uh... thank you.
-
I was wondering...
-
Yes?
-
That is, if I may...
-
Yes?
-
I'm...
-
Kouki!
-
-
-
