Our flight today from Washington to Tokyo is proceeding on schedule.

We should land on time at 3:10 PM

The weather is sunny and 3 degrees.

I know it's our job but America and back in two days is harsh.

Hey, move over.

Our company doesn't get it.

If it's a business trip, we should be in business class.

Sorry, this is my blanket.

Excuse me?

Yes? Excuse me?

Being a flight attendant is hard work.

You just realized that?

I'm just reminding myself.

Here.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Good work today. Can I get you anything?

A blanket.

Sure. Just a minute.

Excuse me.

Yes? Can I help you?

Do you have a red pen?

A red pen?

I have a black pen.

You don't have one anywhere?

Are you Kumakawa Tetsuya?

Sorry. You must be on vacation.

A red pen.

A red pen. A red pen.

Got it.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Water.

One moment, please. Water.

Are you close with that stewardess?

Not really.

Yes, they are. They're just hiding it.

Yes, you are.

I'm not!

Weren't you asleep?

I still am.

Red pen...

Who is this Kumagawa fellow?

You don't know?

Kumakawa Tetsuya is a world famous ballet dancer.

Chief Ota, why don't you have a red pen?

Got one!

Thanks!

Why is he riding in economy anyway?

Business and first are full so he probably had no choice.

Here I go.

Wait.

Excuse me.

One more minute please.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's your red pen.

Thanks.

Please have these as well.

What are they?

A few complimentary items.

I always watch your ballets.

Really? Thank you.

You're doing Swan Lake next, right? It's so hard to get tickets.

Shall I get some for you?

Really? Would you?

In return for the red pen.

Thank you very much.

My name is Fukaura Urara.

Sorry for letting our crew get in your way.

Kumakawa Tetsuya?

He rides economy class?

What are you doing? You hurt me.

I'm the one asking what you're doing.

You're handing out your card instead of helping the passengers.

I've been a fan for so long...

Do you think that kind of excuse will work?

My apologies. I will make sure it doesn't happen again.

With your level of competency, I'm not reassured.

What?

It's not just about today.

You lack the knowledge to do your job properly.

You're a failure as a stewardess and as a person.

You don't have to go that far.

Can we do this when we get back? The cabin can hear.

Then it would be too late.

If we leave the cabin up to these people, our company's image will be tarnished.

I wish I could let you off right now.

Ms. Fukaura..

Shinkai!

Wait... stop!

What are you guys doing?

I'm very sorry. Please excuse us.

Take care of her.

I am very sorry.

As chief, I was not successful in coaching the new stewardess.

I'm sorry.

Captain Koda told me all about it.

He told me to tell you to seriously consider quitting.

That's what he said.

I will make sure she reflects on her actions.

Take a few days off and think about your actions.

We will go apologize to Captain Koda.

I won't apologize to him.

I realize I was wrong getting worked up over a passenger.

But that gives Koda no excuse to shout at me

and embarrass me in public like that.

Ms. Fukaura...

I think Captain Koda's way of doing things is wrong.

There are crew members so scared of him they can't perform properly.

You should ask him to reflect on his actions too.

Stop being stupid.

I'm not being stupid!

I even have a plan.

A plan?

I will sue him for defamation of character.

Here's a present.

What is it?

The new Boeing plane. That's what we went to see.

Did you hope for more? I'm sorry.

Are you stupid?

Want to go for dinner tonight?

Why?

I went all the way to America to see this plane.

I thought I'd ask for your opinion as a mechanic.

If that's the case, then okay.

If that's the case?

You'd go anyway as long as you could eat, right?

Shinkai!

Shinkai! Shinkai!

Yeah?

There's a problem.

What?

It's Captain Koda.

Huh?

Sued?

Fukaura is suing me?

She claims you shamed her.

I just scolded her for being negligent.

She's saying it's defamation.

She said she's already contacted a lawyer.

But she says if you apologize, she'll drop it.

I won't apologize.

If she wants to sue me, let her. I welcome it.

I've heard complaints from all over that you're too severe.

Maybe there's a problem with your way of doing things?

I've tried to fulfill my position to the best of my ability.

Come in.

Excuse me.

You were present when the incident took place, correct?

Tell me what happened.

Okay.

Don't hold back just because Mr. Koda is here. Tell the truth.

Did Mr. Koda grab Ms. Fukaura by the arms?

Did he say that she was a failure as a person?

Yes.

She might have grounds for defamation, Koda.

If I may say...

It wasn't defamation or anything like that.

It was him doing his role as a superior and...

Only speak when I ask you a question.

Okay.

I can't keep covering for you forever. Be aware of that.

Understood.

She can't be serious.

Who actually sues a fellow crew member?

I appreciate your words.

But this incident won't have any influence on how I do my job.

Let's end this conversation.

Tomorrow we're flying to Hong Kong, right? Go home early and prepare.

We won't fly with Captain Koda anymore.

Neither will I.

Same here.

Stop this nonsense.

Do you think you can get away with this selfishness?

It's not selfishness!

Sure, Fukaura did make a mistake.

But Mr. Koda was out of line.

Even I have some grievances with Captain Koda.

But that doesn't give us the right to boycott flights.

We've been putting up with him forever.

Now it's gone too far.

My stomach hurts at the thought of flying with him.

I know what you mean!

Ms. Fukaura, is this your doing?

I did nothing wrong. All I did was tell the truth.

Ms. Fukaura, what's come over you?

I'm upset. I won't forgive him.

Neither will we.

Disciplining a stewardess in the middle of the cabin like that is too much.

And to say she's a failure as a person?

This time, we will stand up for ourselves.

Sure, Mr. Koda can be too severe at times.

But we're professionals.

We should prove ourselves to him by working hard.

Whose side are you on anyway?

Fukaura!

I've decided to sue Captain Koda.

What?

I'm serious.

As are we.

Good day.

Good morning.

Morning. Good morning.

Morning.

Morning. Morning.

Good morning.

Today baggage inspection is crowded. Let's get going early.

Got it.

Koda.

Sorry about being sudden but I'm replacing you with Captain Naito for flight 909.

What?

What's the reason?

The stewardesses are refusing to fly with you.

Are you letting them get away with it?

Of course not.

But I won't let any passengers be inconvenienced for the time being.

It's my call.

Koda, my man!

Seems like you're in a pickle.

But trust me to take responsibility for your flight today.

Please do.

Let's do this.

What is it?

Nothing.

Do you really like Koda that much?

I've brought some tea.

Here, Captain Naito.

Oh! You again? Good service.

Here you are.

Everyone's thrilled.

About?

About having you as our captain today!

Really?

We are all having dinner tonight and hope you will join us.

It might be time for me to don the old Santa Suit!

I can barely wait!

Bye, then.

But you have to feel sorry for Koda.

Everyone hates him.

Yes?

Excuse me.

What is it?

I was wondering how you were.

You came to make fun of me?

This is a first.

You're the one being scolded for a change.

Are you done yet?

Are you alright?

Well...

The harder you try, the less you succeed.

And now, no one even tries to understand you.

Maybe it's easier if I end up getting fired.

Maybe you're right.

And then you'd finally be freed from that incident 12 years ago.

Can't you just quit?

See you.

Taken off duty?

Captain Koda?

That CA Fukaura is suing him, right?

And the other stewardesses who didn't like him went along with it.

There were lots of things that he did wrong.

And I doubt anyone will come to his defense.

And Fukauka is pretty cute.

Hi there.

I'm going to a Bali briefing.

Good work.

What?

Are you really suing Koda?

Wow, even the mechanics know about it.

Is it true?

Maybe.

If he apologizes, I'll forget about it.

What?

Aren't you the one who should apologize?

Why is that?

Captain Koda doesn't get mad without a reason.

No matter what reason, he doesn't have the right to hurt me.

You're just...

What?

...mad you got told off.

What do you know?

The Hong Kong flight landed safely.

Good work.

I'm sorry about the sudden change of pilot.

Don't worry about that but...

But? What?

What happened? With Fukaura?

I haven't been sued yet.

But I'll be off the job for a while.

If there are no stewardesses, there are no flights.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm sorry. I was just wondering.

I thought I told you. If you have time to worry about others...

I know, I should worry about myself.

Welcome back!

You scared me.

Good work. How was Hong Kong?

Don't ignore me! I've been waiting forever for you.

You're so lame.

Don't you think?

It's horrible to sue a friend like that.

He's no friend of mine.

You saw what he did.

I saw. Yes I did. But you don't sue for something like that!

Stop doing such idiotic things.

If I don't sue him, will you marry me?

What? If I don't sue him, will you marry me?

Or even just for one night?

I'm just joking. Obviously, I don't have a chance.

Nice to see you.

Wait.

Finished work?

Yeah.

You look more normal than I would have thought.

Huh?

I thought you'd look all sad.

But you just look like you're hungry or something.

How is it being a mechanic?

I like it. But people get mad at me all the time.

It must be hard to be one of the few women.

Nah.

Everyone is dedicated to their job.

I'm not very social anyway.

I'm just not that great at talking with people.

I can't keep my thoughts to myself.

So I could never be one of those cheery stewardesses.

But you'll never take the anti-social crown from me.

Hm?

I didn't know you made jokes.

I figured you were really strict even after work.

Even I have some kind of a life.

So then you have a girlfriend?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

Don't worry.

So, this is where you're taking me?

Not good enough?

I thought maybe you'd take me to a hotel restaurant.

And after dinner, you'd tell me you'd reserved a room.

Fat chance.

How mean!

Even though I was shouted at and punched by that guy.

You're exaggerating. He didn't punch you.

He didn't punch me.

But that mechanic was really mean to me.

Ogawa?

She told me that Koda wasn't like that and I'm just mad at him.

Don't you think that's horrible?

Aren't you being more horrible?

You're defending that girl?

You're not dating or anything, are you?

You shouldn't even be asking that.

You're the one who caused this mess. That's why people are mad.

I don't care. I don't plan on being a stewardess for much longer anyway.

Why?

It's tough work. The customers can be cruel.

Also, it's hard to work among only females.

You wouldn't understand.

One more, please.

Good evening. A table for two?

Yes.

This way, please.

I come here once in a while with the others.

Really?

Haven't you heard? The pizza here is great.

Oh!

Hello.

Um...

Can we sit over there?

Sure.

Let's go.

What?

It's perfect.

If you have something to say, forget about court. Say it directly.

I don't want to.

Yes, you do. Come on. I don't want to.

I have no intention of...

You should talk to him.

Not with her here.

Why?

She's not even a crew member.

You're scared.

You have no confidence.

Stop it. You have no confidence.

I'm right though.

If you're convinced that you're right...

You wouldn't care who was around.

I'm leaving.

Why? Wait a second. You haven't talked yet.

Hey!

Sorry, here.

I'll take you home.

It's cold.

Sorry to get you involved in this.

No. You've done nothing wrong.

Really.

When I'm with you, I can relax.

Relax?

Because I know that you really do care about flying safely.

To be told that by a mechanic is wonderful.

I don't have any parents.

They died in a plane crash 12 years ago.

It was on a foreign airline.

I was incredibly sad.

So...

I never wanted anyone else to go through that sadness.

That's why I became a plane mechanic.

I pledged to keep the skies safe.

I see.

Wow. I said it.

I've never talked about this with a fellow worker before.

I didn't want people being all sympathetic.

I feel better now though.

Here?

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

No problem.

Um...

What?

What she said was true.

What is?

I have no confidence at all.

I'm jealous of you and her.

You're all doing what you love.

Didn't you become a stewardess because you wanted to?

I just wanted to be an idol.

Huh?

Ever since kindergarten, people told me how cute I was.

I became a stewardess not because I wanted to.

But just to stand out.

Any job where I was noticed by people would have been fine.

But when I became a stewardess...

I realized it was a lot different than I thought.

No one was complimenting me and it was really tough work.

And people told me off all the time.

I wonder what I'm doing.

I felt like I could quit anytime.

So maybe you should.

Think about it this way.

Think of yourself as a passenger.

If you're being served by stewardesses who didn't want to be there...

Right? It's just not very nice.

But when you're doing your job,

you have such a big smile on your face.

What a waste to quit.

Don't you think?

Shinkai?

Hold me.

What?

If you hold me tight, I'll forget about suing Koda.

Wait... Are you serious?

Please. No one's looking.

No. Wait a second.

Hold on!

Ouch!

Wait, Shinkai!

I can't do that!

Ouch.

Come on.

Adding conditions to your promises like that is so uncool.

Anyway, unless I really liked you, it wouldn't mean anything.

You're such a cruel person.

Why?

Good bye!

What's with her?

He's back!

Hello!

What are you doing here?

What were you doing out so late?

What are you doing?

I was waiting for you when she asked me in for dinner.

Who?

We ate kimchi and noodles!

It was great!

Sorry for the bother!

You should learn when to say no.

Don't be violent!

Huh?

He's our beautiful brother!

What?

Why? What?

Stupid Shou-chan!

Shou-chan?

No idea.

Who's Shou-chan?

It's your fault.

Why Shou-chan?

When did you become Shou-chan?

I said I don't know.

You're sleeping with her, right?

I'm not.

And why are you here all of a sudden?

Let me stay the night.

Huh?

Actually, I'm moving in.

What are you talking about?

I'm not going back to Dad's place.

You had an argument?

I can't even argue with that guy.

Did you tell him that you were coming here?

You just want me to go talk to him, right? I'm not going to.

I've decided. I'm dropping out of high school.

Dropping out?

I'm dropping out. No matter what he says.

Why do I get myself involved in all this?

Hey, I forgot my toothbrush so...

Shut up. We're leaving.

Why?

Stand up.

Stop it!

Stop complaining and go inside.

Stop it. I already told you I was leaving home.

You won't solve anything like that.

I thought a lot before making my decision to drop out!

Did you hear?

Tell me about your wonderful reasoning then.

I haven't even said anything and...

Then say it! I haven't even said anything and...

I can't help with the family business if I'm in high school.

So, if I'm inheriting the family business, I want to do it right.

Dropping out is a half-assed solution.

Isn't it just that you're stupid and don't want to go?

You always get to do what you want!

I have to inherit the business because you didn't want to!

So if I have to do this, I want to do it right!

Just be quiet.

I never planned to give you the family business anyway.

Stop shouting and leave.

I will!

Wait. We're not finished.

Why not?

Why do you have to put it like that, Dad?

Sure, I feel bad about not taking the family business after you asked me to but...

Why are you ignoring me?

Why is everyone always running off.

I'm not going to tell you what to do.

But, do we really need to go through this?

Work it out!

What a drag.

What's this for?

Get your rods.

I don't want you to ride in a tiny boat like this,

but in a really huge boat.

Like the kind I used to ride in.

A world where no matter where you looked, there was nothing but ocean.

I wish you could be part of that.

He means if you don't go to school, big ships like that are out of reach.

Are you listening?

I get it, okay?

Because I love boats.

He means he loves you Dad.

Don't make things up!

I'm not. Ouch! Don't make things up!

Why are you kicking me?

Stop kicking me!

Don't fall!

Stop it!

If you're going to insult me, do it after you finish high school.

Stop talking to me like an arrogant pilot.

There's things you can say and things you can't!

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

What?

Take responsibility for this.

What responsibility?

Let's go!

Wait. Tell me what you mean.

Um...

I've decided not to sue you.

Please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying I was wrong.

I still can't accept the way you treated me on the plane.

But I went through all the training to become a stewardess.

I'm not going to quit just because I was bullied by you.

That's my reasoning.

So I've decided to forgive you.

I won't forgive you.

I don't need imperfect crew members.

If you make mistakes again, I will be even more severe.

Huh?

Fight!

Great. Just what I want.

One day, I will be good enough to be recognized by you.

I won't forget those words.

You won't.

If you'll excuse me.

Go ahead.

Excuse me.

The briefing for flight 209 to Frankfurt is about to begin.

Go ahead, Captain.

I'm the pilot, Koda.

Because of turbulence from other jets,

we'll expect turbulence when we reach 160 degrees east.

Please finish up service before then.

Got it!

Let's aim for a perfect flight.

We'll do our best.

Are you sure it's okay, Fukaura?

Yeah! He didn't apologize, right?

You should have seen it through.

It's okay. Shinkai looked after me.

What do you mean?

Can't tell.

Why not? Wait!

Good to see it all worked out.

Liar!

What?

Isn't Koda your worst enemy?

Not that bad.

Oh, really?

Well, some card games aren't any fun without the joker.

I'd say you're the king of hearts.

Nicely said!

In that case, you're the eight of clubs.

I don't understand you but I'll take it as a compliment.

And I won't let that kid be the ace of hearts.

What?

Jane?

Hey!

Really? That's good.

I guess.

What did you tell her?

Nothing special.

It's none of my business anyway.

You don't think it is?

No. As she said, I'm not one of the "crew".

Oh, you're jealous?

What?

Why would I be jealous? Don't kid yourself.

What? You were the one all cozy with Koda at that restaurant.

You into older men? I should have known.

You're pathetic.

No, you are.

This was a waste of time. I'm going back to work.

Wait.

You're thickheaded so I'll say it really clearly.

What?

You pissed me off.

What?

You and Koda together, looking like you were having fun.

It pissed me off.

It was horrible.

Me too.

What?

I was pissed off too.

Why?

Seeing you with that other girl. It wasn't nice.

I was furious.

Now I'm running through the blue horizon.
