Overprotected Kahoko (2017) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1
There is a princess that lives
in this small kingdom
who was raised in this castle
with tender affection and care.
Want to be independent?
Do what you want, then.
I'll never get in your way
from now on.
Alright.
I'll work hard
so you will accept me.
She always relied on the queen
for everything.
That was a close call.
- Good morning.
- Morning, Dad.
Hey, Mum, which should I
I was wondering which one to wear,
but I'll go with this one.
I just thought I'll let you know.
The princess finally declared
her independence from the queen.
I'd choose the other one.
Could you
please not tell my husband?
If he finds out that I'm dying soon
I think he would be panicked.
Hey, Grandma?
Is it true?
Are you dying?
Of course not.
I was just rehearsing my lines.
There is an event
coming up soon
that the neighbourhood
association hosts.
I was rehearsing my scene
with a phone call.
That's why.
So
What's this?
This is
a prop for the play.
A prop.
You thought it was real.
My acting must have been
pretty good.
Maybe I can
be a famous actress?
Hey, Mum?
And Dad?
It was obviously an add-on.
What is it?
Grandma
What about her?
Complained about me?
It's not like that.
Then what?
Sorry.
"Can I see you today?"
Oh, right. Grandma said
I should come over,
so I'll go see her.
Well then, I'll
You thought I would come?
Well, you're wrong.
I'm not even giving you a lift.
Yes, I know.
That was close.
Hello, Grandma. Are you here?
What's going on, Kahoko?
You're sweating a lot.
I ran here.
Anyways, what's the matter with you?
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
I'll have the tea.
Kahoko
I'm sorry.
Yesterday
I told you a lie.
What?
I have a condition called
cardiomyopathy.
Soon
Actually, to be exact
my body could stop working
at any time.
- No way.
- At first
I was not going to tell anyone.
I panicked when you heard me
on the phone.
So I told you
a lie like that.
Isn't there anyway to treat it?
Either a heart transplant
or a surgery to cut heart muscles
are the only options.
But I'm getting so old
and have no stamina.
Is there anything that I can do?
In that case,
there are two favours
that I want to ask you.
- What are they?
- The first one is
Can you give me a hug?
And the second one?
I want you
to not tell this to anyone.
What?
But what about Grandpa?
If I told Grandpa,
he would go crazy.
You should at least tell my mum.
If Izumi finds out,
she'll put me in a hospital
and try to cure the sickness
no matter what.
I don't want to burden her
like that.
Also
when I die
I want to be in this house.
- But
- Please.
Could you accept
my selfish requests?
Alright.
Thank you.
Kahoko.
"Cardiomyopathy treatments"
"Hard to cure completely"
Hey, Kahoko?
Huh?
Compared to the ones your mum makes,
you packed way too much rice.
The first box only has rice in it.
Kahoko.
Canned food and sprinkles
are all you got
to eat with rice?
Kahoko.
Do you want some?
No thanks, Kahoko.
Hey
Why are you calling my name
so many times?
This is because
I'm a shy boy.
I wanted to get used to it
in case you ask me suddenly.
- Kahoko?
- Is that so?
So you're not happy about this?
Oh, I'm sorry.
All I can think of right now
is my grandma.
What should I do?
Just let her do what she
wants to do.
Do you know
you just told me about her
- but is that OK?
- Yeah.
She said I can tell it
to the boy I like.
Ahh!
Look at the time! Let's go, Hajime.
To where?
Grandma wants to meet you.
Wait, what?
I'm not ready.
Please. I want Grandma to meet
the very first boy that I like.
"Yokohama Minami General Hospital"
I'm getting nervous.
Am I dressed properly?
It's fine. Grandma doesn't
care about that.
I need to go to the restroom.
But you just went.
Did I really?
I guess I'm fine, then.
Grandma!
Kahoko!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
So is this him?
The person who bluntly told Kahoko
the things none of us could say.
Right. Kahoko and I have been
seeing each other.
I'm Hajime Mugino.
Today
the weather is very nice.
I guess not really.
I'm sorry.
"Namiki"
So
Hajime
Do you really like Kahoko?
Yes, I do.
She could be a bit
high maintenance.
As you probably know.
Yes, but
she is interesting.
When I'm with her, it's always
full of surprises.
That's exactly what I felt
when I started dating her grandpa.
Is that so?
I never thought
that I would ever date
someone like her.
Life sure is interesting, isn't it?
Sometimes things beyond
your imagination happen.
Hey, Grandma?
I've been thinking
maybe you should get
second opinion from another doctor.
Second opinion.
I already did that.
But
the diagnostic results
were all the same.
At least, tell my mum.
I told you.
I want things
to be normal like how
it's always been.
Getting together as a family
for birthdays, obon
and New Year's Day.
We have a lot of fun together.
I don't want to make anyone worried
and pass away quietly.
So
can you also
act like nothing has changed?
Especially because you are
tying to be independent
from your mum right now.
That's right, but
Kahoko, you are
so much stronger and tougher
than you think you are.
To prove that
whenever family gets together
if someone is sick
or is having problems,
you always notice it right away.
Whenever I saw you,
I always thought
that this child
has the greatest ability
to make everyone happy.
Don't you think so, too?
I do.
I'm home.
Hi, Grandpa.
- Welcome back.
- You're here, Kahoko!
Oh hello.
Who is this nice-looking young man?
Hello.
I'm Kahoko's boyfriend,
Hajime Mugino.
Is that so?
Does this mean
you're getting married?
Congratulations!
It's not like that.
I asked Kahoko
to introduce him to me.
- Is that so?
- Here's a glass of water.
Let me give you some money.
You don't need to do that anymore.
Instead of that,
take a good care of Grandma, okay?
I do that already.
Take even better care of her.
Why are you so upset, Kahoko?
Sorry, but
are you learning poetry reading?
I am! I just got back
from a class.
Is that so?
Do you want to hear it, Tamotsu?
It's Hajime. Sure.
I want to learn it.
- Oh yeah? Sit over there.
- Thank you.
When learning poetry reading,
you first learn the meaning
of the poem.
What a lovely person he is.
Yeah, he is.
Now
Smile, Kahoko.
If you look like that,
you'd make me sad, too.
Sorry.
Here you go.
There's Daddy.
Come on, Kahoko.
I'm home.
I'm starving.
Honey?
Tomorrow
- What?
- Nothing.
- I don't need dinner tomorrow.
- Oh.
I don't care either way, though.
I know she almost asked me.
But I can never tell her that.
Is Kahoko not back yet?
It appears so.
Did she say she'll be late?
Not really.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Kahoko.
Dad, you're back.
I'm home, Mum.
Why were you out so late?
It doesn't matter.
I had some things to do.
A date with your boyfriend?
It doesn't matter, though.
It's not like that.
Then, what is it?
- I don't care, though.
- Then, don't ask.
You haven't eaten dinner, right?
Mum cooked dinner, so join us.
I'm fine.
I'm not hungry.
Oh darn.
What am I hungry
at a time like this?
What do you mean by that?
Well you know
- It's Setsu.
- I'll get it.
Setsu? What's up?
Mum called earlier.
She said she's having
Ito's birthday party.
I already asked her to cancel it
but she is insisting to have it
as it's a family event.
Can you try
talking her out of it, Izumi?
Alright, I'll call her.
Oh, Mum.
What is she thinking?
Anything wrong with Grandma?
She is holding Ito's birthday party
which Setsu doesn't want.
I'm calling to tell her to cancel.
You can't do that!
Why?
Because Grandma is
- Grandma is?
- Grandma is
She wants Ito
to be happy like she used to be.
That's why she's having
a birthday party.
But
I don't think Ito will show up.
In that case,
I'll convince Ito to come,
so please don't cancel it.
Are you sure about that?
I'll figure it out.
But you're about to text Ito again.
She hasn't replied at all.
I'll figure something out.
Hey, hey
Do you know this?
"I'll figure something out"
is what people with no solution
would say.
In any case,
why are you
smiling so much?
As Grandma told me, I decided
to keep smiling no matter
how hard things are.
I appreciate your effort
but it looks unnatural and creepy.
I think your grandma
wants you to live normally
while deciding about your future
and then smile.
Oh, yeah, I have to do that.
Also, you and I have just
started to go out, but
we haven't gone on a date.
- Yeah, that too.
- Come on.
It will distract you.
Any places you want to go?
I can take you anywhere.
There's a place you want to go?
Hey, hey.
What is this place?
This is Ito's place.
That's her room.
Are you going to wait for Ito
to come home?
Here?
I can't think of any other way
to see her.
But you don't know
when she'll be back.
Don't worry about that.
I packed a lot of things
like water, food,
and many other things.
That's why your backpack
looked fuller.
Sorry.
I'm not in the mood for a date.
It's fine.
We can have long talks.
Actually, I'm sorry,
you should go home.
What? Why?
If Ito sees us together
when she gets back,
it might upset her
and she might not talk.
That's true.
I'm sorry.
I'm waiting for Ito to come back
so I might be late.
What does she think she's doing?
"Stop that and come home
immediately"
What am I doing?
Really.
- I'm home.
- Tomorrow, Honey
Is Kahoko not home tonight, either?
Apparently, she's waiting for Ito
at her place.
Will she be alright?
Why don't you go check on her?
I'm a bit busy here.
Thanks.
See you later.
See you.
Give me a call.
- Bye bye.
- Bye.
Ito!
What are you doing here?
I
This Sunday is your birthday, right?
We're having a party at Grandpa's,
I think you should come.
I told you
I hate my family.
Don't say that.
Grandma is
What about her?
Grandma is
worried about you, Ito.
She wants to cheer you up.
It's none of her business.
She acts like she knows everything.
So annoying.
What's that face for?
Can you stop talking bad things
about Grandma?
What?
If you talk to her,
you will understand just how much
Grandma really cares about us.
I've been thinking
maybe family is
people who understand you
more than you understand yourself.
You know,
you yelled at me that one time
which made me realise
that I am
just a goldfish
in a comfortable goldfish bowl.
So
please go see Grandma, Ito.
She'll understand your struggles
I think you're getting a wrong idea.
I've never considered you guys
as my family.
Oh! Sorry!
Are you alright, Kahoko?
I'm home.
- Are you OK?
- Thank you.
It's your fault for making Dad
so worried.
It's your fault too.
You couldn't stand
waiting for her to get back.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Did you get to see Ito?
Yeah, I did.
She's not coming to the party,
is she?
But
I was so close to convincing her
so I thought I should
bake chocolate chip cookies
which Ito likes.
You shouldn't do that.
It'll be a waste.
Why?
Grandma called earlier.
She said she might
as well cancel it.
Tamaki also called
- saying they can't make it.
- Why?
Tamaki!
Another asthma attack?
Thank you for coming.
Are you okay?
You're not dying too, are you?
What do you mean "too"?
Oh, it's nothing.
Are you really feeling better?
You shouldn't come
to the party, right?
That's not it.
- I just don't want to see everyone.
- What? Why?
I'm not a good person.
I don't know how I can see you all.
What are you saying?
- You're the nicest
- No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
Mamoru.
Show her what I've got
in my purse.
- But
- I think Kahoko should know.
What are these?
These are all
- what I shoplifted.
- What?
Actually, I've been doing it
since I was younger.
Whenever I had asthma attacks,
I wondered why I had to be
the one who suffers.
I felt a lot of stress.
No way.
I would tell myself that I'd stop
but since I never got caught,
I couldn't stop.
But before I got married,
I got caught for the first time,
by Mamoru.
Excuse me.
He said if I promise
I'd never do it again,
he wouldn't tell my family.
I swore to myself that I'd never
do anything like this.
This is my fault.
I had a rough day at work again.
I drunk until I blacked out.
Kahoko, one time you asked me
the reason why we got married.
We are both
no good
and weak people.
So we need each other.
But I can't do it after all.
Don't say such a thing, Tamaki.
Right, don't give up over this.
Keep pushing.
- Just a bit longer.
- I'm not sure about myself.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
There are more and more things
that you can't tell anyone.
Ito's hanging out with shady kids.
Tamaki and Mamoru
had such secrets.
It's fine.
I'm not giving up.
By the way
as things get worse,
your backpack is getting
fuller and fuller.
I found great party goods,
I thought this would be good
for the party. Look!
Maybe you should cancel it,
after all.
The harder you work,
the more bad feelings I get.
But Grandma wants things
to be normal
and I want to give her that.
At this rate, my family might not
see each other ever again.
Being with your family
is it that important to you?
Why would you ask that?
Some people are better off
being apart.
Is that the excuse for not
looking for your mum?
Hey, hey
Why did you bring that up?
This is a good chance
for us to go look for her.
Are you serious?
Don't act so strong.
When I didn't see Mum
for a couple days,
I missed her terribly.
You haven't seen her in years?
As I told you,
don't bring this up ever again.
But it's just you and her
in the family.
She already has a family.
Let's not argue. Sorry.
We shouldn't be fighting.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You don't need to fake smile for me.
Like I said,
you should cry when it's hard.
You haven't cried since you found
out about Grandma, have you?
Yeah, but
I want to grow up
and I decided not to cry anymore.
Sorry! Are you okay?
It's okay. I'm home.
I'm going out now.
To where?
Something came up at Grandpa's.
That Grandpa, too?
What?
It's nothing.
"For lease"
What do you mean?
To keep him here?
It can't be helped.
I met him while on a trip.
He was alone and hungry,
so I fed him and he followed me.
Seriously?
Where is he from?
He doesn't talk much so not so sure.
But he probably ran away
from a home.
He doesn't want to go to the police.
Why are you taking things so easy?
You still have a debt to pay off.
This property could be seized
anytime.
Oh, shut up.
I told you that I'm not going
to bother you. Don't worry.
Come on.
You said that
but you'll ask our parents
for help in the end.
Mum.
What will you do?
Don't wake me up.
I want to be happy
at least in my dreams.
Dad, maybe it's time for you
to finally face the reality.
I'll do it, tomorrow.
No!
Tomorrow doesn't come
for some people.
I'm sick of hearing you say
"tomorrow".
Kahoko?
Hey!
Is that so?
There's so much going on
in their family, too.
I was hoping to invite them
to the birthday party, too.
That's enough.
Let's cancel it this year after all.
Setsu and Atsushi
are still arguing with Ito.
Tamaki and Mamoru doesn't
seem to want to see us.
But you're cooking a big dinner,
right?
In that case,
why don't you invite
your mum and dad
and Hajime?
You can have dinner
with me and Grandpa?
Don't say that.
I'll go ask Ito once again.
You don't have to do that.
It's fine.
I'm sure Setsu will also come
if Ito is coming.
But
I'll work hard.
You almost got it!
So close!
Ito!
Nice!
Hey
Can you please come tomorrow?
What are you doing here?
Are you stalking me?
Sorry.
Who is she?
Your stalker?
Cousin that I hate.
You can hate me all you want
but please come to
the birthday party, for Grandma.
No way!
Birthday party when you're so old?
Did you hear the way she talks?
Please, Ito.
Fine.
Really?
If you can hit a homer
and get this for me.
No way!
Balls are super-fast.
There's no way.
Alright.
Good luck, I guess.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Let's go eat.
What do you want?
- Sushi!
- Sushi?
Korean BBQ!
That sounds good.
Let's get some meat.
She'll be here forever.
What do you want?
Well
Do you want to go on a date
with me tomorrow?
But I thought
you and Kahoko are together.
So what?
She's been a bit annoying lately,
being nosy about personal problems.
So, yes?
If you're that worried,
why don't you call her?
It's not that.
I wonder if the bath is ready.
It's Kahoko.
Hey, what's going on?
Dad?
I have two favours to ask you.
What are they?
The first one is
can you withdraw money
from my bank account
in changes, if you can.
Sure. What's the second one?
Please teach me baseball.
Hello, Kahoko?
What are you doing so late?
I'm sorry, Mum.
I came to ask Ito
to come to the birthday party.
She said she will if I hit a homer.
So I might be out late tonight.
Are you still trying that?
Why don't you just give up?
Don't worry. I'll hit
a big one for sure.
So please also
come to Ito's birthday party.
Hey!
Alright, let's go.
Why are you making all this food?
You know no one will come.
This is just in case.
What?
I'm home.
Izumi! Talk to your mother.
She cooked too much.
Can you help me, Mum?
I'm baking chocolate chip cookies
that Ito likes.
Sure.
What are you doing here?
It'll be fine, Dad.
Everyone will come.
I'm home.
What are you all doing here?
I thought you guys were not coming.
Izumi gave us a talk.
No birthday parties for Kahoko
if we didn't show up today.
She said even when we have
our issues, we should show up
to important family events.
Izumi scolded us, too.
She said Kahoko is not giving up
to get Ito to come
but we're not doing anything.
Even if Ito doesn't come,
we thought we should still come
to thank Kahoko
for making all the effort.
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
You're just saying that.
Where are Ito and Kahoko, then?
I'm sure they'll be here soon.
Where are we going?
Where should we go?
Where do you want to go?
Somewhere fun, right?
Where to go?
I knew it.
You were behind this?
What?
Oh wow!
We happen to be at
your grandparents'!
Since we're here, why don't
we stop by for a bit?
Are you crazy?
You are such a spoiled kid.
No matter how hard things are,
you don't get to laugh at someone
who invites you
to your birthday party.
You say Kahoko is overprotected
but for me who never had
family to celebrate birthdays with,
you're the same.
You think you can get away
with doing anything.
You look down on you family.
Isn't that right?
Ito!
Here.
What's this?
Sorry, I only got a hit.
Can you please accept this?
This way.
I told her to give up and go home
and suggested I'd do it for her
but she wouldn't listen.
She tried all night long.
"HIT"
Yes! You got a hit!
"Hit prizes"
- Grandpa, Grandma?
- Hello.
Kahoko!
Where's Ito?
Ito!
Welcome.
Happy birthday, Ito.
Let's take a photo.
It's too soon, Dad.
Right.
Come on up!
- You too, Tamotsu.
- It's Hajime.
Oh, that's right.
Come on.
I'm glad you are here.
Don't talk to me.
Celebrating Ito's birthday,
raise your glass! Cheers!
Cheers! Happy birthday!
So good.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
You're all being quiet today.
You don't look happy.
Don't worry.
Some days are like that.
That's right.
A quiet birthday dinner is not bad.
Your cooking is the best, Grandma!
You think so?
- Don't you think so?
- Yeah.
But maybe I should go home.
Don't say that.
Eat a lot, Hajime.
I will. Thank you.
Hajime, why don't you
introduce yourself?
Give me a break.
- Hajime?
- Yes?
Where are you from?
I'm actually from Tokyo.
What does your family do?
My father died when I was little.
And your mother?
- That is
- She died, too.
When I was in high school.
So having a family
who celebrate birthdays
I'm jealous that Kahoko
and Ito have that.
- You major in fine art, right?
- Yes.
Do you plan to make a living
as an artist?
Yes, and Kahoko
is being supportive about that.
What if it doesn't work?
Can you provide for your wife?
It hasn't gotten that far.
Then when?
In five years? 10 years?
20 years? 30 years?
If your girlfriend wants to
get married,
how long does she need to wait?
That is
Stop, Mum. You sound like
a police interrogation.
Now is not a good time.
I want to get to know him properly
as her mother.
I want to know that, too.
I don't want to see Kahoko
getting hurt.
Hey, stop!
Hey, young man.
Yes?
My entire family will be after you
if you ever make Kahoko unhappy.
You get that?
Mamoru?
This isn't oolong tea,
it's oolong tea highball.
Who cares? It's just a bit.
Are you crazy?
You promised not to drink
ever again.
Don't scream.
You don't get to talk
to me like that.
What do you mean?
Stop, you two. We're here today
for Ito's birthday.
That's right.
Grandpa, why don't you give
Ito our present?
Oh, yeah, I should.
Ito.
Happy birthday.
We saved this money for you
to study abroad.
Take it.
I know things have been tough
due to your illness
but if you ever find something else
you want to try in the future,
we want you to use
the money for that.
Say thank you, Ito.
Yeah, both Grandpa and Grandma
are seriously worried about you.
Don't worry about it.
As long as Ito and everyone
are healthy,
and we get together like this,
we'll be happy. Right, Honey?
That's right.
If I get to see Ito and Kahoko
getting married
and expanding the family
then I'd have no regrets in my life.
Especially when things are hard,
you need to trust your family.
Don't say such boring things.
I told Kahoko this
but I'm sick of seeing
you guys' faces.
You pretend to be nice people.
Such hypocrites.
- Ito!
- I'm telling you
that I will not ask for help
from anyone here.
I'll live on my own.
Ito!
Do what you want to do, then.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't like you, either.
I always knew that
you looked down on Kahoko.
You talk like you know everything
but you're the hypocrite.
But Kahoko is different.
Kahoko truly cares about you.
That's why she wanted
to hold this birthday party for you.
Izumi, isn't that a bit harsh?
It's your fault for spoiling her
so much.
Look who's talking!
Calm down, both of you.
Everyone is acting weird today.
Especially in a time like this,
you have to know your true selves.
For Kahoko and Ito.
Something like this?
Calm down, both of you.
Everyone is acting weird today.
I'm sorry
but what do you mean weird?
Well Especially in a time
like this
Let's not fight over
such a trivial thing?
A trivial thing?
You mean about Ito?
That's not what I mean.
We're all adults,
so let's all calm down.
I've always wondered,
do you look down on us?
Of course not.
I've felt that, too.
You think you're such an elite
and you sound condescending.
Hey!
Stop, you two.
Don't take it out on my husband.
You sound condescending, too,
You've always looked down on us.
What? It's just you guys
being paranoid.
Stop, everyone.
We baked chocolate chip cookies
that Ito likes.
Let's have some.
What a great idea.
Let's take a photo, then.
A photo.
Or should I recite a poem instead?
You be quiet, Dad.
You're never serious.
How dare you talk
to your father like that?
Don't get sulk.
I'm begging you, please stop.
I got a Twister game.
Look.
That looks good. Let's play.
You stay out of this.
Sorry.
I shouldn't have come today.
Kahoko made us come.
Don't say that.
I also have a karaoke machine.
Karaoke, anyone?
You're getting a bit nosy, Kahoko.
You should've left us alone
this time.
Don't say that.
Yeah.
Kahoko did nothing wrong.
I
This never happened to me.
What's wrong, Kahoko?
I've always had so much fun
when I come here
and being with you made me so happy.
I thought it was the best time
that I could ever have.
But now I'm sick
of seeing your faces.
I can't stand it any longer.
If we're like this, Grandma
Grandma
I feel bad for Grandma!
Kahoko!
Kahoko!
Let him get her.
But
There's something important
that I need to tell you guys.
What is it?
The reason
why Kahoko worked so hard for this
is all because of me.
It's all my fault.
What do you mean?
I
I'm dying soon.
Hey!
Kahoko!
Wait!
Don't be so upset.
Alright?
But
I made Grandma sad in the end.
About Tamaki and Ito.
I thought problems would be gone
once everyone was there.
Don't carry everything
on your shoulders.
You had too much riding on you,
just like this backpack.
I get that you care
about your family.
But it's impossible to take away
problems and sufferings
that everyone has.
It's fine. I'll work hard.
Like I said,
don't force yourself to smile.
I know you want to cry.
What should I do, then?
For now,
focus on what you can do.
Grandma will be happy
if you do that.
What's that face for? Came up
with another strange idea?
It's not like that.
It's a brilliant idea!
What is that?
Let's make a baby.
- What?
- Grandma said
she wants to see the family
expanding.
If she gets to see
her great grandchild,
that would make her very happy.
Why do you think that way?
We're not married.
- Then marry me.
- I can't.
Don't you want to marry me?
That's not it.
Getting married to show Grandma
your child?
The priority is so wrong.
Do you even understand
what I'm saying?
Of course I do.
Don't think I'm so dumb.
It's not like that.
You do. Every time I try
to do things for my family,
you always complain.
Because you think it's all so easy.
You blindly believe families
are wonderful
but it's not that easy.
Some families fight,
or even kill each other.
Not my family.
Who knows?
They are all human.
They had such a pointless fight
just now.
Humans are weak animals.
We'd eat the apple
if a snake offers it.
You talk as if you knew everything.
Can you stop looking down
on my family?
Also, why did you lie about
your mother earlier?
That is
I'm telling you that I'll stay with
my family no matter what.
I want to.
Grandpa, Grandma, Mum, Dad,
Tamaki, Uncle Mamoru, Setsu,
and even Ito
I still believe that they're
wonderful people
filled with love.
I'll continue believing.
At the end of the day,
you don't understand how I feel
because you have no family.
I can't do this.
Like you said, I don't understand
family nor do I want to.
I don't believe in family's love
at all, unlike you.
Like your mum said,
we do live in different worlds.
You and I.
So
We're over.
Alright.
See?
I'm crying.
Are you happy now?
With Hajime, I want to
make everyone in the family happy.
So, please.
Please allow me
to marry Hajime Mugino.
Please.
"This is fictional."
There is a princess that lives
in this small kingdom
who was raised in this castle
with tender affection and care.
Want to be independent?
Do what you want, then.
I'll never get in your way
from now on.
Alright.
I'll work hard
so you will accept me.
She always relied on the queen
for everything.
That was a close call.
- Good morning.
- Morning, Dad.
Hey, Mum, which should I
I was wondering which one to wear,
but I'll go with this one.
I just thought I'll let you know.
The princess finally declared
her independence from the queen.
I'd choose the other one.
Could you
please not tell my husband?
If he finds out that I'm dying soon
I think he would be panicked.
Hey, Grandma?
Is it true?
Are you dying?
Of course not.
I was just rehearsing my lines.
There is an event
coming up soon
that the neighbourhood
association hosts.
I was rehearsing my scene
with a phone call.
That's why.
So
What's this?
This is
a prop for the play.
A prop.
You thought it was real.
My acting must have been
pretty good.
Maybe I can
be a famous actress?
Hey, Mum?
And Dad?
It was obviously an add-on.
What is it?
Grandma
What about her?
Complained about me?
It's not like that.
Then what?
Sorry.
"Can I see you today?"
Oh, right. Grandma said
I should come over,
so I'll go see her.
Well then, I'll
You thought I would come?
Well, you're wrong.
I'm not even giving you a lift.
Yes, I know.
That was close.
Hello, Grandma. Are you here?
What's going on, Kahoko?
You're sweating a lot.
I ran here.
Anyways, what's the matter with you?
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
I'll have the tea.
Kahoko
I'm sorry.
Yesterday
I told you a lie.
What?
I have a condition called
cardiomyopathy.
Soon
Actually, to be exact
my body could stop working
at any time.
- No way.
- At first
I was not going to tell anyone.
I panicked when you heard me
on the phone.
So I told you
a lie like that.
Isn't there anyway to treat it?
Either a heart transplant
or a surgery to cut heart muscles
are the only options.
But I'm getting so old
and have no stamina.
Is there anything that I can do?
In that case,
there are two favours
that I want to ask you.
- What are they?
- The first one is
Can you give me a hug?
And the second one?
I want you
to not tell this to anyone.
What?
But what about Grandpa?
If I told Grandpa,
he would go crazy.
You should at least tell my mum.
If Izumi finds out,
she'll put me in a hospital
and try to cure the sickness
no matter what.
I don't want to burden her
like that.
Also
when I die
I want to be in this house.
- But
- Please.
Could you accept
my selfish requests?
Alright.
Thank you.
Kahoko.
"Cardiomyopathy treatments"
"Hard to cure completely"
Hey, Kahoko?
Huh?
Compared to the ones your mum makes,
you packed way too much rice.
The first box only has rice in it.
Kahoko.
Canned food and sprinkles
are all you got
to eat with rice?
Kahoko.
Do you want some?
No thanks, Kahoko.
Hey
Why are you calling my name
so many times?
This is because
I'm a shy boy.
I wanted to get used to it
in case you ask me suddenly.
- Kahoko?
- Is that so?
So you're not happy about this?
Oh, I'm sorry.
All I can think of right now
is my grandma.
What should I do?
Just let her do what she
wants to do.
Do you know
you just told me about her
- but is that OK?
- Yeah.
She said I can tell it
to the boy I like.
Ahh!
Look at the time! Let's go, Hajime.
To where?
Grandma wants to meet you.
Wait, what?
I'm not ready.
Please. I want Grandma to meet
the very first boy that I like.
"Yokohama Minami General Hospital"
I'm getting nervous.
Am I dressed properly?
It's fine. Grandma doesn't
care about that.
I need to go to the restroom.
But you just went.
Did I really?
I guess I'm fine, then.
Grandma!
Kahoko!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
So is this him?
The person who bluntly told Kahoko
the things none of us could say.
Right. Kahoko and I have been
seeing each other.
I'm Hajime Mugino.
Today
the weather is very nice.
I guess not really.
I'm sorry.
"Namiki"
So
Hajime
Do you really like Kahoko?
Yes, I do.
She could be a bit
high maintenance.
As you probably know.
Yes, but
she is interesting.
When I'm with her, it's always
full of surprises.
That's exactly what I felt
when I started dating her grandpa.
Is that so?
I never thought
that I would ever date
someone like her.
Life sure is interesting, isn't it?
Sometimes things beyond
your imagination happen.
Hey, Grandma?
I've been thinking
maybe you should get
second opinion from another doctor.
Second opinion.
I already did that.
But
the diagnostic results
were all the same.
At least, tell my mum.
I told you.
I want things
to be normal like how
it's always been.
Getting together as a family
for birthdays, obon
and New Year's Day.
We have a lot of fun together.
I don't want to make anyone worried
and pass away quietly.
So
can you also
act like nothing has changed?
Especially because you are
tying to be independent
from your mum right now.
That's right, but
Kahoko, you are
so much stronger and tougher
than you think you are.
To prove that
whenever family gets together
if someone is sick
or is having problems,
you always notice it right away.
Whenever I saw you,
I always thought
that this child
has the greatest ability
to make everyone happy.
Don't you think so, too?
I do.
I'm home.
Hi, Grandpa.
- Welcome back.
- You're here, Kahoko!
Oh hello.
Who is this nice-looking young man?
Hello.
I'm Kahoko's boyfriend,
Hajime Mugino.
Is that so?
Does this mean
you're getting married?
Congratulations!
It's not like that.
I asked Kahoko
to introduce him to me.
- Is that so?
- Here's a glass of water.
Let me give you some money.
You don't need to do that anymore.
Instead of that,
take a good care of Grandma, okay?
I do that already.
Take even better care of her.
Why are you so upset, Kahoko?
Sorry, but
are you learning poetry reading?
I am! I just got back
from a class.
Is that so?
Do you want to hear it, Tamotsu?
It's Hajime. Sure.
I want to learn it.
- Oh yeah? Sit over there.
- Thank you.
When learning poetry reading,
you first learn the meaning
of the poem.
What a lovely person he is.
Yeah, he is.
Now
Smile, Kahoko.
If you look like that,
you'd make me sad, too.
Sorry.
Here you go.
There's Daddy.
Come on, Kahoko.
I'm home.
I'm starving.
Honey?
Tomorrow
- What?
- Nothing.
- I don't need dinner tomorrow.
- Oh.
I don't care either way, though.
I know she almost asked me.
But I can never tell her that.
Is Kahoko not back yet?
It appears so.
Did she say she'll be late?
Not really.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Kahoko.
Dad, you're back.
I'm home, Mum.
Why were you out so late?
It doesn't matter.
I had some things to do.
A date with your boyfriend?
It doesn't matter, though.
It's not like that.
Then, what is it?
- I don't care, though.
- Then, don't ask.
You haven't eaten dinner, right?
Mum cooked dinner, so join us.
I'm fine.
I'm not hungry.
Oh darn.
What am I hungry
at a time like this?
What do you mean by that?
Well you know
- It's Setsu.
- I'll get it.
Setsu? What's up?
Mum called earlier.
She said she's having
Ito's birthday party.
I already asked her to cancel it
but she is insisting to have it
as it's a family event.
Can you try
talking her out of it, Izumi?
Alright, I'll call her.
Oh, Mum.
What is she thinking?
Anything wrong with Grandma?
She is holding Ito's birthday party
which Setsu doesn't want.
I'm calling to tell her to cancel.
You can't do that!
Why?
Because Grandma is
- Grandma is?
- Grandma is
She wants Ito
to be happy like she used to be.
That's why she's having
a birthday party.
But
I don't think Ito will show up.
In that case,
I'll convince Ito to come,
so please don't cancel it.
Are you sure about that?
I'll figure it out.
But you're about to text Ito again.
She hasn't replied at all.
I'll figure something out.
Hey, hey
Do you know this?
"I'll figure something out"
is what people with no solution
would say.
In any case,
why are you
smiling so much?
As Grandma told me, I decided
to keep smiling no matter
how hard things are.
I appreciate your effort
but it looks unnatural and creepy.
I think your grandma
wants you to live normally
while deciding about your future
and then smile.
Oh, yeah, I have to do that.
Also, you and I have just
started to go out, but
we haven't gone on a date.
- Yeah, that too.
- Come on.
It will distract you.
Any places you want to go?
I can take you anywhere.
There's a place you want to go?
Hey, hey.
What is this place?
This is Ito's place.
That's her room.
Are you going to wait for Ito
to come home?
Here?
I can't think of any other way
to see her.
But you don't know
when she'll be back.
Don't worry about that.
I packed a lot of things
like water, food,
and many other things.
That's why your backpack
looked fuller.
Sorry.
I'm not in the mood for a date.
It's fine.
We can have long talks.
Actually, I'm sorry,
you should go home.
What? Why?
If Ito sees us together
when she gets back,
it might upset her
and she might not talk.
That's true.
I'm sorry.
I'm waiting for Ito to come back
so I might be late.
What does she think she's doing?
"Stop that and come home
immediately"
What am I doing?
Really.
- I'm home.
- Tomorrow, Honey
Is Kahoko not home tonight, either?
Apparently, she's waiting for Ito
at her place.
Will she be alright?
Why don't you go check on her?
I'm a bit busy here.
Thanks.
See you later.
See you.
Give me a call.
- Bye bye.
- Bye.
Ito!
What are you doing here?
I
This Sunday is your birthday, right?
We're having a party at Grandpa's,
I think you should come.
I told you
I hate my family.
Don't say that.
Grandma is
What about her?
Grandma is
worried about you, Ito.
She wants to cheer you up.
It's none of her business.
She acts like she knows everything.
So annoying.
What's that face for?
Can you stop talking bad things
about Grandma?
What?
If you talk to her,
you will understand just how much
Grandma really cares about us.
I've been thinking
maybe family is
people who understand you
more than you understand yourself.
You know,
you yelled at me that one time
which made me realise
that I am
just a goldfish
in a comfortable goldfish bowl.
So
please go see Grandma, Ito.
She'll understand your struggles
I think you're getting a wrong idea.
I've never considered you guys
as my family.
Oh! Sorry!
Are you alright, Kahoko?
I'm home.
- Are you OK?
- Thank you.
It's your fault for making Dad
so worried.
It's your fault too.
You couldn't stand
waiting for her to get back.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Did you get to see Ito?
Yeah, I did.
She's not coming to the party,
is she?
But
I was so close to convincing her
so I thought I should
bake chocolate chip cookies
which Ito likes.
You shouldn't do that.
It'll be a waste.
Why?
Grandma called earlier.
She said she might
as well cancel it.
Tamaki also called
- saying they can't make it.
- Why?
Tamaki!
Another asthma attack?
Thank you for coming.
Are you okay?
You're not dying too, are you?
What do you mean "too"?
Oh, it's nothing.
Are you really feeling better?
You shouldn't come
to the party, right?
That's not it.
- I just don't want to see everyone.
- What? Why?
I'm not a good person.
I don't know how I can see you all.
What are you saying?
- You're the nicest
- No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
Mamoru.
Show her what I've got
in my purse.
- But
- I think Kahoko should know.
What are these?
These are all
- what I shoplifted.
- What?
Actually, I've been doing it
since I was younger.
Whenever I had asthma attacks,
I wondered why I had to be
the one who suffers.
I felt a lot of stress.
No way.
I would tell myself that I'd stop
but since I never got caught,
I couldn't stop.
But before I got married,
I got caught for the first time,
by Mamoru.
Excuse me.
He said if I promise
I'd never do it again,
he wouldn't tell my family.
I swore to myself that I'd never
do anything like this.
This is my fault.
I had a rough day at work again.
I drunk until I blacked out.
Kahoko, one time you asked me
the reason why we got married.
We are both
no good
and weak people.
So we need each other.
But I can't do it after all.
Don't say such a thing, Tamaki.
Right, don't give up over this.
Keep pushing.
- Just a bit longer.
- I'm not sure about myself.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
There are more and more things
that you can't tell anyone.
Ito's hanging out with shady kids.
Tamaki and Mamoru
had such secrets.
It's fine.
I'm not giving up.
By the way
as things get worse,
your backpack is getting
fuller and fuller.
I found great party goods,
I thought this would be good
for the party. Look!
Maybe you should cancel it,
after all.
The harder you work,
the more bad feelings I get.
But Grandma wants things
to be normal
and I want to give her that.
At this rate, my family might not
see each other ever again.
Being with your family
is it that important to you?
Why would you ask that?
Some people are better off
being apart.
Is that the excuse for not
looking for your mum?
Hey, hey
Why did you bring that up?
This is a good chance
for us to go look for her.
Are you serious?
Don't act so strong.
When I didn't see Mum
for a couple days,
I missed her terribly.
You haven't seen her in years?
As I told you,
don't bring this up ever again.
But it's just you and her
in the family.
She already has a family.
Let's not argue. Sorry.
We shouldn't be fighting.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You don't need to fake smile for me.
Like I said,
you should cry when it's hard.
You haven't cried since you found
out about Grandma, have you?
Yeah, but
I want to grow up
and I decided not to cry anymore.
Sorry! Are you okay?
It's okay. I'm home.
I'm going out now.
To where?
Something came up at Grandpa's.
That Grandpa, too?
What?
It's nothing.
"For lease"
What do you mean?
To keep him here?
It can't be helped.
I met him while on a trip.
He was alone and hungry,
so I fed him and he followed me.
Seriously?
Where is he from?
He doesn't talk much so not so sure.
But he probably ran away
from a home.
He doesn't want to go to the police.
Why are you taking things so easy?
You still have a debt to pay off.
This property could be seized
anytime.
Oh, shut up.
I told you that I'm not going
to bother you. Don't worry.
Come on.
You said that
but you'll ask our parents
for help in the end.
Mum.
What will you do?
Don't wake me up.
I want to be happy
at least in my dreams.
Dad, maybe it's time for you
to finally face the reality.
I'll do it, tomorrow.
No!
Tomorrow doesn't come
for some people.
I'm sick of hearing you say
"tomorrow".
Kahoko?
Hey!
Is that so?
There's so much going on
in their family, too.
I was hoping to invite them
to the birthday party, too.
That's enough.
Let's cancel it this year after all.
Setsu and Atsushi
are still arguing with Ito.
Tamaki and Mamoru doesn't
seem to want to see us.
But you're cooking a big dinner,
right?
In that case,
why don't you invite
your mum and dad
and Hajime?
You can have dinner
with me and Grandpa?
Don't say that.
I'll go ask Ito once again.
You don't have to do that.
It's fine.
I'm sure Setsu will also come
if Ito is coming.
But
I'll work hard.
You almost got it!
So close!
Ito!
Nice!
Hey
Can you please come tomorrow?
What are you doing here?
Are you stalking me?
Sorry.
Who is she?
Your stalker?
Cousin that I hate.
You can hate me all you want
but please come to
the birthday party, for Grandma.
No way!
Birthday party when you're so old?
Did you hear the way she talks?
Please, Ito.
Fine.
Really?
If you can hit a homer
and get this for me.
No way!
Balls are super-fast.
There's no way.
Alright.
Good luck, I guess.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Let's go eat.
What do you want?
- Sushi!
- Sushi?
Korean BBQ!
That sounds good.
Let's get some meat.
She'll be here forever.
What do you want?
Well
Do you want to go on a date
with me tomorrow?
But I thought
you and Kahoko are together.
So what?
She's been a bit annoying lately,
being nosy about personal problems.
So, yes?
If you're that worried,
why don't you call her?
It's not that.
I wonder if the bath is ready.
It's Kahoko.
Hey, what's going on?
Dad?
I have two favours to ask you.
What are they?
The first one is
can you withdraw money
from my bank account
in changes, if you can.
Sure. What's the second one?
Please teach me baseball.
Hello, Kahoko?
What are you doing so late?
I'm sorry, Mum.
I came to ask Ito
to come to the birthday party.
She said she will if I hit a homer.
So I might be out late tonight.
Are you still trying that?
Why don't you just give up?
Don't worry. I'll hit
a big one for sure.
So please also
come to Ito's birthday party.
Hey!
Alright, let's go.
Why are you making all this food?
You know no one will come.
This is just in case.
What?
I'm home.
Izumi! Talk to your mother.
She cooked too much.
Can you help me, Mum?
I'm baking chocolate chip cookies
that Ito likes.
Sure.
What are you doing here?
It'll be fine, Dad.
Everyone will come.
I'm home.
What are you all doing here?
I thought you guys were not coming.
Izumi gave us a talk.
No birthday parties for Kahoko
if we didn't show up today.
She said even when we have
our issues, we should show up
to important family events.
Izumi scolded us, too.
She said Kahoko is not giving up
to get Ito to come
but we're not doing anything.
Even if Ito doesn't come,
we thought we should still come
to thank Kahoko
for making all the effort.
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
You're just saying that.
Where are Ito and Kahoko, then?
I'm sure they'll be here soon.
Where are we going?
Where should we go?
Where do you want to go?
Somewhere fun, right?
Where to go?
I knew it.
You were behind this?
What?
Oh wow!
We happen to be at
your grandparents'!
Since we're here, why don't
we stop by for a bit?
Are you crazy?
You are such a spoiled kid.
No matter how hard things are,
you don't get to laugh at someone
who invites you
to your birthday party.
You say Kahoko is overprotected
but for me who never had
family to celebrate birthdays with,
you're the same.
You think you can get away
with doing anything.
You look down on you family.
Isn't that right?
Ito!
Here.
What's this?
Sorry, I only got a hit.
Can you please accept this?
This way.
I told her to give up and go home
and suggested I'd do it for her
but she wouldn't listen.
She tried all night long.
"HIT"
Yes! You got a hit!
"Hit prizes"
- Grandpa, Grandma?
- Hello.
Kahoko!
Where's Ito?
Ito!
Welcome.
Happy birthday, Ito.
Let's take a photo.
It's too soon, Dad.
Right.
Come on up!
- You too, Tamotsu.
- It's Hajime.
Oh, that's right.
Come on.
I'm glad you are here.
Don't talk to me.
Celebrating Ito's birthday,
raise your glass! Cheers!
Cheers! Happy birthday!
So good.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
You're all being quiet today.
You don't look happy.
Don't worry.
Some days are like that.
That's right.
A quiet birthday dinner is not bad.
Your cooking is the best, Grandma!
You think so?
- Don't you think so?
- Yeah.
But maybe I should go home.
Don't say that.
Eat a lot, Hajime.
I will. Thank you.
Hajime, why don't you
introduce yourself?
Give me a break.
- Hajime?
- Yes?
Where are you from?
I'm actually from Tokyo.
What does your family do?
My father died when I was little.
And your mother?
- That is
- She died, too.
When I was in high school.
So having a family
who celebrate birthdays
I'm jealous that Kahoko
and Ito have that.
- You major in fine art, right?
- Yes.
Do you plan to make a living
as an artist?
Yes, and Kahoko
is being supportive about that.
What if it doesn't work?
Can you provide for your wife?
It hasn't gotten that far.
Then when?
In five years? 10 years?
20 years? 30 years?
If your girlfriend wants to
get married,
how long does she need to wait?
That is
Stop, Mum. You sound like
a police interrogation.
Now is not a good time.
I want to get to know him properly
as her mother.
I want to know that, too.
I don't want to see Kahoko
getting hurt.
Hey, stop!
Hey, young man.
Yes?
My entire family will be after you
if you ever make Kahoko unhappy.
You get that?
Mamoru?
This isn't oolong tea,
it's oolong tea highball.
Who cares? It's just a bit.
Are you crazy?
You promised not to drink
ever again.
Don't scream.
You don't get to talk
to me like that.
What do you mean?
Stop, you two. We're here today
for Ito's birthday.
That's right.
Grandpa, why don't you give
Ito our present?
Oh, yeah, I should.
Ito.
Happy birthday.
We saved this money for you
to study abroad.
Take it.
I know things have been tough
due to your illness
but if you ever find something else
you want to try in the future,
we want you to use
the money for that.
Say thank you, Ito.
Yeah, both Grandpa and Grandma
are seriously worried about you.
Don't worry about it.
As long as Ito and everyone
are healthy,
and we get together like this,
we'll be happy. Right, Honey?
That's right.
If I get to see Ito and Kahoko
getting married
and expanding the family
then I'd have no regrets in my life.
Especially when things are hard,
you need to trust your family.
Don't say such boring things.
I told Kahoko this
but I'm sick of seeing
you guys' faces.
You pretend to be nice people.
Such hypocrites.
- Ito!
- I'm telling you
that I will not ask for help
from anyone here.
I'll live on my own.
Ito!
Do what you want to do, then.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't like you, either.
I always knew that
you looked down on Kahoko.
You talk like you know everything
but you're the hypocrite.
But Kahoko is different.
Kahoko truly cares about you.
That's why she wanted
to hold this birthday party for you.
Izumi, isn't that a bit harsh?
It's your fault for spoiling her
so much.
Look who's talking!
Calm down, both of you.
Everyone is acting weird today.
Especially in a time like this,
you have to know your true selves.
For Kahoko and Ito.
Something like this?
Calm down, both of you.
Everyone is acting weird today.
I'm sorry
but what do you mean weird?
Well Especially in a time
like this
Let's not fight over
such a trivial thing?
A trivial thing?
You mean about Ito?
That's not what I mean.
We're all adults,
so let's all calm down.
I've always wondered,
do you look down on us?
Of course not.
I've felt that, too.
You think you're such an elite
and you sound condescending.
Hey!
Stop, you two.
Don't take it out on my husband.
You sound condescending, too,
You've always looked down on us.
What? It's just you guys
being paranoid.
Stop, everyone.
We baked chocolate chip cookies
that Ito likes.
Let's have some.
What a great idea.
Let's take a photo, then.
A photo.
Or should I recite a poem instead?
You be quiet, Dad.
You're never serious.
How dare you talk
to your father like that?
Don't get sulk.
I'm begging you, please stop.
I got a Twister game.
Look.
That looks good. Let's play.
You stay out of this.
Sorry.
I shouldn't have come today.
Kahoko made us come.
Don't say that.
I also have a karaoke machine.
Karaoke, anyone?
You're getting a bit nosy, Kahoko.
You should've left us alone
this time.
Don't say that.
Yeah.
Kahoko did nothing wrong.
I
This never happened to me.
What's wrong, Kahoko?
I've always had so much fun
when I come here
and being with you made me so happy.
I thought it was the best time
that I could ever have.
But now I'm sick
of seeing your faces.
I can't stand it any longer.
If we're like this, Grandma
Grandma
I feel bad for Grandma!
Kahoko!
Kahoko!
Let him get her.
But
There's something important
that I need to tell you guys.
What is it?
The reason
why Kahoko worked so hard for this
is all because of me.
It's all my fault.
What do you mean?
I
I'm dying soon.
Hey!
Kahoko!
Wait!
Don't be so upset.
Alright?
But
I made Grandma sad in the end.
About Tamaki and Ito.
I thought problems would be gone
once everyone was there.
Don't carry everything
on your shoulders.
You had too much riding on you,
just like this backpack.
I get that you care
about your family.
But it's impossible to take away
problems and sufferings
that everyone has.
It's fine. I'll work hard.
Like I said,
don't force yourself to smile.
I know you want to cry.
What should I do, then?
For now,
focus on what you can do.
Grandma will be happy
if you do that.
What's that face for? Came up
with another strange idea?
It's not like that.
It's a brilliant idea!
What is that?
Let's make a baby.
- What?
- Grandma said
she wants to see the family
expanding.
If she gets to see
her great grandchild,
that would make her very happy.
Why do you think that way?
We're not married.
- Then marry me.
- I can't.
Don't you want to marry me?
That's not it.
Getting married to show Grandma
your child?
The priority is so wrong.
Do you even understand
what I'm saying?
Of course I do.
Don't think I'm so dumb.
It's not like that.
You do. Every time I try
to do things for my family,
you always complain.
Because you think it's all so easy.
You blindly believe families
are wonderful
but it's not that easy.
Some families fight,
or even kill each other.
Not my family.
Who knows?
They are all human.
They had such a pointless fight
just now.
Humans are weak animals.
We'd eat the apple
if a snake offers it.
You talk as if you knew everything.
Can you stop looking down
on my family?
Also, why did you lie about
your mother earlier?
That is
I'm telling you that I'll stay with
my family no matter what.
I want to.
Grandpa, Grandma, Mum, Dad,
Tamaki, Uncle Mamoru, Setsu,
and even Ito
I still believe that they're
wonderful people
filled with love.
I'll continue believing.
At the end of the day,
you don't understand how I feel
because you have no family.
I can't do this.
Like you said, I don't understand
family nor do I want to.
I don't believe in family's love
at all, unlike you.
Like your mum said,
we do live in different worlds.
You and I.
So
We're over.
Alright.
See?
I'm crying.
Are you happy now?
With Hajime, I want to
make everyone in the family happy.
So, please.
Please allow me
to marry Hajime Mugino.
Please.
