Original subtitles

Are you okay?

Are you not feeling well?

Oh, no...

This little one...

I was just worried the pond might dry up over summer break.

I see.

Hope it rains.

Yeah.

Good morning, Kamekichi.

Did you eat breakfast?

I'll be back after first period, okay?

No! Look, doesn't that side look better?

It gets more sun. See?

Come on, come on! That way!

That way! Come on!

Hey, this area is no fun, see?

Over there! That side looks more fun!

Hey, Kamekichi, I've always wondered if these are oranges.

Do you think they're edible?

Oh, it's tough!

So tough!

Come on... There.

So sour!

Oh, no.

I guess they're not edible.

So, you've decided on your path.

Yes.

I'll be accompanying my father on his overseas tour from September.

It's people like you that I wish would stay at the university.

I'll save the dream of being a researcher for my next life.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

I can't believe he passed away so soon.

Yeah, it's such a shock to see someone so young go.

Yeah.

Shigeo was so much younger than us.

So much younger...

-Poor guy... -Yeah, such a shame...

No...

Kamekichi.

Where are you, Kamekichi?

Kamekichi. Kamekichi.

DON'T WORRY THE TURTLE IS SAFE WITH ME

2015

Good morning, Kamekichi.

For example, what if a scenario like this played out in her life...

Good morning, Kamekichi.

Did you eat breakfast?

-...I'd be an unnamed background extra. -I'll be back after first period.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Not even in focus.

Just Student A.

Now then, what is your motivation for applying?

Yes.

When I was a little girl,

my father used to leave me a treat on the table for when I came home.

Suzutoya's strawberry milk candy would always fill me with joy and...

Interviewer B.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Boss C.

Misa!

Do you want to watch the World Cup?

-Soccer? -No, rugby.

I'm going to watch it at a sports bar

with the guys from the rugby team.

-I want to introduce you to them. -What? I'm nervous!

-Would I understand the rules? -Don't worry. I'll teach you.

A background extra with no lines.

-Here, your birthday present! -What?

-Wear it to work too, okay? -Okay, thanks!

Hey, you guys are late!

-We have a reservation! -Sorry, sorry.

Sorry, the chief wouldn't let us go.

Let's go!

Oh, man, I'm so hungry.

I never would have been a part of her story...

Or so it seemed.

But on September 18th, 2015.

Sorry!

She jumped in out of nowhere.

My apologies.

I got flustered, and said the worst possible thing.

That scarf doesn't suit you.

Please keep it there until the heat goes away.

I'm really sorry.

Director Suzuki.

I'm sorry for saying such rude things.

Likewise.

BOSS C

DIRECTOR SUZUKI

What now, Kamekichi?

This is a new development.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Is the burn...

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Misa! Morning!

You've been an eyesore since we were kids.

We were never friends.

Morning, Reina!

Again, congrats on your engagement.

Thanks!

Weren't you talking to Director Suzuki from Corporate Strategy earlier?

Yeah.

Since when did you two know each other?

On the day of the presentation, I bumped into him in the elevator.

I see.

So you're on greeting terms with the Noble Son now!

Oh, that's nice.

I can't believe the Noble Son recognizes you.

-The... Noble Son? -Director Suzuki.

Grandson of the Chairman and son of the CEO.

What?

-He's good-looking, right? -Yeah.

I heard he was in our commercials when he was a child.

I saw it on YouTube.

That commercial?

Yeah.

He's good at his job, and his curtness just makes him even more attractive!

Isn't he single?

Noble Son...

Come to think of it, I remember a boss who had that nickname...

So it was him.

Misa, you're bored already!

You never were interested in company gossip, were you?

Ms. Esaka.

The quote.

What's the status?

Oh... I'll do it now.

Didn't I ask you to finish it last week?

Sorry. I had so many other things to do.

Ms. Esaka, please keep your promises.

You're in a position to teach new hires, you know.

Okay, I'll be careful.

Ms. Sumiyoshi, you're in a new suit!

Yeah.

It's been ages since I bought clothes for myself.

The mortgage is killing me.

Hey, Misa.

Hey.

Did you see my LINE?

LINE?

I looked up a bunch of wedding venues! Check out these links!

Let's go.

It's kind of strange, isn't it?

The fact that none of the people here know anything about it.

Strange?

You know...

That you're my fiancée.

Curry lunch, please!

All right.

I think I'll stay at your place tonight.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

He's so vile.

I don't even want to breathe the same air anymore.

Curry...

What do you think I married you for?

The reason I married a boring, dull girl like you

is because you're a stingy woman who saves money.

What you married me for?

I will never marry this person!

Oh, yeah, Misa.

You know how you left early from the sports bar the other night?

Oh, yeah.

You felt awkward, right?

Awkward?

To be honest, you're a bit plain compared to the girls I'm used to seeing around me,

and I can understand why you might feel insecure,

but it doesn't matter what people think, whether or not you're a good match.

Don't lose confidence.

Because you're the one I've chosen.

How arrogant can you be?

I can't wait for you to meet my mom.

When should we meet the parents?

Meet the parents...

You can keep your job, but it's no excuse to skip housework.

Before the wedding, could I see a fertility certificate?

I knew you couldn't handle it... A girl without parents.

When should we do it?

My mom's pretty busy.

How could I not see this guy's true colors?

Look at this.

This sticker's hilarious.

He's a self-centered, emotionally abusive, momma's boy!

Oh, you know about cryptocurrency?

So nowadays, depositing money in a bank is just a waste of assets and time.

There is this Durkis coin, which the general public can't buy,

but one of the older guys from the rugby team is going to show me a way in.

I see.

That's a scam.

He'll be cheated out of all his money.

And on top of that, he's a narcissist of the highest order.

I want to punch myself.

How could I not see this coming?

Oh, you're so cute together.

Oh, Reina!

I'm leaving now. Sit there.

Oh, why?

They need me right now.

So, by all means, sit there.

I finally finished that quote.

Tomoya, listen to this!

What happened?

The new girl can't do her job so I had to cover for her the whole time,

but Ms. Sumiyoshi is so easy on her.

She's only tough on me.

Just because I'm a contract employee, she uses me as an outlet for her stress.

Right?

Uh... Uh-huh.

Poor Reina.

Well, it's my job, so I just have tough it out.

You're amazing, Reina.

But you should speak up more, you know?

You're too nice.

Thanks!

You and Misa really are the only ones that understand me.

I'm gonna eat.

How can I get these two to marry each other?

They get into an affair ten years later, so it's not like there's zero chance now.

What's up?

Yeah, I'm having lunch.

-At this time, Reina had a fiancé. -I'm eating curry.

-It is. -Seriously?

Excuse me, one mega.

He's a high-spec boyfriend who works for an advertising agency.

And mine...

doesn't do housework, has no prospects,

and his self-esteem is only rivaled by his reliance on his mother.

Oh, no... I can't win.

Oh, never mind! It's nothing.

Oh, sorry, sorry. I was talking over here. So, what's up?

But, hey, if he doesn't talk, he's not bad to look at, right?

Please, Reina, notice Tomoya's charm!

Can you make time?

I'm so happy!

He's nice when he's in a good mood, and he's tough from playing rugby.

You'd expect more out of a person,

but if you think of him as a spoiled dog who bites you if he doesn't get his way...

Why did I marry a man like that?

Look, look.

You're perfect together!

It's like you two were meant for each other!

It's no good!

I knew it. She looks down on both of us.

Let's go out for drinks again with your boyfriend, all four of us.

Oh, he's always so busy though.

Oh, yeah!

There's still a chance.

The ad agency guy had another girlfriend.

You bastard!

Reina!

After she found him cheating, they argued for months,

and Reina got dumped just before Christmas.

Gimme my time back!

Soon, Reina and her boyfriend will break up.

That's my chance!

I'm so full!

See you guys later!

Wait, what happens, again?

I remember now!

See you guys later!

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry! -Are you okay?

-Oh, no! -I wasn't paying attention either.

Oh, no, it was such a nice suit. I'm so, so sorry!

I'll bring something to wipe with!

-What a disaster. -Yeah.

Now I know.

She did that on purpose.

-Oh, you're leaving already? -Ms. Sumiyoshi!

Hey! Seriously?

Tomoya! I'm sorry!

Oh, man, this is no joke.

I'm so sorry! Misa came so suddenly.

Hirano, are you okay?

-Well... -Are you okay?

So, whatever happens, happens no matter what!

I'm so sorry!

SUMIYOSHI

But if there is a substitute...

TOMOYA

This was so expensive.

I'm so sorry!

-It's not coming off! -I can change my destiny!

-What can we do? -Oh, I'm really...

This sucks!

This suit and shirt cost me a fortune!

I'm sorry, Tomoya.

Let me pay for it.

No.

It's okay.

You didn't do it on purpose.

I should wash it right away.

Or get it dry-cleaned.

I wonder if it'll come out?

Why?

What do you mean why?

Why are you giving it to me?

-Wash it, will you? -It's your suit, right?

Yes!

I said it! I told him what I wanted to say!

Oh, is this my first time? It might be my first time!

I'm not the same as I was the first time!

I can start over.

I'm ten years younger now after all.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Um...

Oh, is something wrong?

It's a bit of an emergency.

Oh, do you mean...

Yes. Exactly.

I'll bring some over!

Thank you.

I thought I'd never be able to leave that stall.

Don't worry about it.

The restrooms on that floor strangely don't get much traffic.

I asked other people for help, but they ignored me.

They ignored you?

I heard someone on the phone as she left the restroom.

It was definitely Ms. Esaka.

Yeah... Sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

I'm the type to always return the favor when people mess with me,

so I'll be fine.

That goes for you, too.

What?

Consider me in your debt, Ms. Kanbe.

I will definitely pay you back for this.

MAMEKAME-DOU

-This is good too. -Hello.

-Oh, welcome! -Welcome!

The usual?

-Yes. The Mamekame set. -Okay.

-Help yourself to the second floor. -Oh, thanks.

-I'll prepare it now. Okay. -Thank you.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you so much.

Please take your time!

Thank you for the food.

This always calms me down.

Hello.

Hello.

I was rude to you the other day.

The other day?

Oh, no, no, I should be the one apologizing.

So you two are friends!

Please enjoy.

-May I? -What? Oh, please! Sit down.

-Um-- -Um--

-Go ahead. -Oh, no, go ahead.

No, no, you first.

Is your burn okay?

It's no big deal.

Do you come here often?

Yes, when I want to be alone.

Oh, no! That's not what I meant!

It's a place my father took me in the past.

Your father?

Yes.

I can relax when I'm here.

What about you?

I found it during my research.

I sometimes organize my market research findings here.

Market research?

[STORE] SATOICHI [PRODUCT] IMAGAWAYAKI 540 YEN

"Don't just study it, see it for yourself."

That's what my gra-- the chairman says.

Your grandfather, right?

-What... -I heard it from a colleague today.

I see.

Did you know that Suzutoya Holdings originated

from the traditional Japanese confectionery shop "Suzutoya"?

Yes.

My father loved the sweet bean rice cakes from Suzutoya.

The taste hasn't changed since the beginning.

Unchanging taste...

It's so comforting, isn't it? The strawberry milk candy too.

Remember when you were a kid,

and you popped a sweet candy into your mouth,

how easy it was to believe?

Oh, I remember the old Suzutoya commercial.

The boy that was dancing with Suzuto, that was you, right?

That... Where did you hear that from?

My colleague.

So nostalgic! I wonder if we can still find that commercial?

Please don't ever look it up.

I'm not proud of it.

I'm sorry.

Do you... Do you also know about "that"?

"That"?

What they call me behind my back...

"Noble Son"?

I thought noble sons were only in girls' manga or in Korean dramas,

but look, they actually exist!

-Are you making fun of me? -Oh, no!

No. In a good way! In a good way! Everyone was saying it in a good way.

In a good way?

I mean, a Noble Son is usually reserved,

but comes to the rescue whenever the heroine is in trouble, right?

It's everyone's dream...

Oh, and they all say that...

You're amazing at your job, Director Suzuki!

The reason I'm in my position is...

as I'm sure you're aware, not because of my ability.

But...

You really like Japanese sweets, don't you?

I love the sweet potato yokan here too.

Here.

Can I take a look?

Yes. Here.

GINZA KARIYA "THE KARIYA MATCHA"

Compared to yours, it's like a child's doodle.

In an age where we can feel like we know everything by looking online,

you actually visit the stores to experience things firsthand.

The aroma, the texture, the atmosphere inside the shop...

The information you get from your five senses is irreplaceable.

I don't think your way of working is wrong at all.

But...

for kintsuba, I recommend Minato-an over Sakura-dou.

Oh, I respectfully disagree!

Director.

Why is your review of Kawata-ya's mitarashi-dango so low?

It's so delicious!

The sauce is too strong.

It would be more popular with the public if it was a bit milder.

Senzaki.

There's no other choice.

Well, the mitarashi-dango at Senzaki is indeed good, but...

Have you ever been?

I have.

-The main store is in Kyoto, right? -Yes.

But the Tokyo branch isn't half bad.

Speaking of Kyoto,

the Gion Senkyo collaboration cafe is opening this week for a limited time.

I wanted to go, but I was so busy with work back then!

Wait, back then? What am I saying... I mean, I have to go for sure!

17:00 REINA SHOPPING

On this day...

Isn't this place amazing?

Yeah, it's not every day we have dinner at a hotel.

Hey, they're here!

Oh, Reina!

Long time no see!

Hey, why...

Oh... It's our class reunion today.

You wouldn't have come if I'd told you, right?

-Reina, it's been too long! -Hey!

Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine! How are you all?

Reina, you work for Suzutoya?

Yeah, I switched companies.

Wow!

Really?

Reina, how's your boyfriend from the ad agency?

-Wait, what? -No one told me!

What, what, what?

Well, soon enough, I might have some news to announce to you all!

Where did she go? That Kanbe.

She slipped away before anyone noticed.

She's always been so gloomy.

Just having her around darkens the mood.

Why is Reina friends with a girl like her?

Well, you know, Reina is just too nice.

I don't know how Kanbe can even show her face here.

She did such a horrible thing.

-Yeah, I know, right? -Yeah.

Aren't we all getting a little out of line here?

-But it's true, isn't it? -It is.

She's got a thick skin, doesn't she?

Misa!

Are you really going home already?

Sorry. I don't feel well... Sorry.

"Such a horrible thing."

1 MESSAGE REQUEST FROM YUTO TANABE

Tanabe?

Sorry for the sudden message.

This is Tanabe, your classmate from Toyama Central High School.

This book is great, you should read it.

I contacted you because something has been bothering me for a long time.

It's about a letter given to me by Reina Esaka.

Yeah. Let me know what you think.

At the time, I was shocked by what you said,

but the more I thought about it afterwards,

the more I realized that there was no way you would write such a letter.

Could we talk?

Thanks!

A letter?

Misa, let's go.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye, see you.

See you.

Sorry to keep you.

What were you talking about?

He asked me if I was interested in joining the drama club.

He showed me the script for the next performance,

and it's really interesting.

Misa, are you planning to go onstage?

No, no.

I just thought it'd be nice if I could help backstage.

It doesn't suit you, Misa. Forget it.

All the girls think Tanabe's creepy.

If you hang around someone like that,

people might start thinking you're just like him, and that worries me.

I don't know anything about theater at all,

but I thought it was great.

Oh, that's great to hear. Thanks.

Hey, can I get your number?

Yeah. Of course.

Yours is the only one I don't have.

-Oh really? -Yeah.

Yay!

Here.

That's when it started.

That's when the whole class started ignoring me.

Kanbe, all alone.

-Stop that! -Well.

Eating all by herself.

She can hear you.

DO YOUR BEST AT SCHOOL!! DAD

-Watch this. -Yeah.

I'm sorry!

I bumped into you on my way to open the window!

Poor thing.

Hey, Reina, you'll eat with us, right?

Yeah.

Then, let's go.

I'll take your chair.

Reina.

-Wow, your bento is so cute! -Wow, cute!

-Isn't it too small? -Not really.

-Doesn't look like it'll be enough. -It's enough.

Hey! Wait, wait, I want some too.

That's terrible.

Not that one.

That kind of thing doesn't suit you.

Now, this is definitely the one for you.

It'll look great on you!

Hey, isn't this one great?

It'll look so good in your place!

You have to get it!

That felt good.

That's right. Today...

The Gion Senkyo collaboration cafe is opening this week for a limited time.

All right.

Today's gonna be my all-day food tour!

I'm healthy now, so why waste it not doing what I want!

I have... nothing to wear.

Today's weather in the Kanto region is expected to be clear and sunny.

With blue skies and a comfortable high of around 22 degrees,

it's shaping up to be a perfect day to be outside.

-The sunlight may feel strong... -What do you think, Kamekichi?

...so be sure to protect yourself with a hat or sunscreen.

A man who comes running to the rescue no matter where you are...

would be a stalker if he really existed.

In northern Japan and the Hokuriku region, high pressure will bring clear skies.

Western Japan is also likely to enjoy mostly sunny conditions.

And in Okinawa, the abundant sunshine

will make it a perfect day for outdoor leisure.

With the dry and refreshing air, it's an ideal day to go out--

JAPANESE SWEETS

How many are in your party?

Two.

Please wait a little longer.

How many? One?

Would it be all right if we ask you to wait a little longer?

I'll bring you a menu right away.

-Sorry. Please wait. -Thank you. Yes.

-How many in your party? -Just one.

One person. I'm terribly sorry, but we're currently full.

There will be about a 30-minute wait.

Hello!

If you'd like.

You're here for research, right?

Sorry, did I intrude?

No, this is saving me time, so thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, I'm definitely getting the matcha parfait,

but there's also warabi-mochi, nerikiri, and...

I have to get dorayaki!

They even have kimi-shigure!

Oh, no, I can't choose...

Do you want to share?

Share?

We can both try more different kinds that way, so it's more efficient.

Thank you.

-Here. -Thank you.

You like hojicha.

Even at Mamekame-dou.

Yes.

It's very calming.

People often say I'm too old-fashioned.

Who would say that?

Well... forget it.

I like it too.

Hojicha really is relaxing, isn't it?

Yes.

At first, I thought he seemed cold, but he's actually a really nice guy.

Wait.

Grandson of the chairman. Good-looking. Good at his job.

How often do you just happen to meet someone straight out of a girls' manga?

Hello!

If you'd like.

So many times in such a short period!

Could it be on purpose?

Am I being stalked?

If I think about it,

the comment from the other day was quite excessive,

and just like he said, I'm terrible at judging people.

Reina, Tomoya... I only attract the worst of the worst.

I'm a scumbag magnet.

There's no way a decent person would willingly get close to me.

Which means... this guy?

There's a very high chance he's a massive scumbag!

No wonder something felt off!

I can't let myself be fooled. I won't make the same mistake again.

Even Tomoya seemed kind at first!

Behind the mask, is he actually a stalker?

A bully? A manipulator? A pervert? A psychopath?

Are you okay?

No.

What?

Oh, never mind.

Okay, calm down.

A noble son like him can't be interested in someone like me.

What is it?

Oh, no, nothing.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

That was delicious.

Yes.

So...

-Yes? -What are your plans after this?

I'm thinking about buying some clothes.

Clothes?

I went overboard cleaning and threw away so much I ran out of clothes to--

-The scarf! -Excuse me?

I made a rude remark the other day about your scarf...

I threw away that scarf.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's not your fault.

If I could...

Yes?

As an apology, let me get you a new scarf.

I know a good shop nearby.

What?

KUHONBUTSUGAWA STREET

It's right after this turn here.

Yes.

NEW ARRIVAL TOPS ¥39,800 - BOTTOMS ¥41,000

Hey!

Please, no expensive stores!

It's a gift to apologize for what I said.

No.

I'll buy my own clothes.

So cute.

What? Secondhand clothes are this cheap?

What, 500 yen?

-Five hundred yen? -Yes.

No way...

That's a surprise.

It's my first time at a store like this.

Do you come here often?

A long time ago, I used to come to stores like this with my mother.

That's unexpected.

That yellow sweater would look so good on you!

I don't know, I don't usually wear bright colors like this.

Oh, is that so? It looks perfect for you.

Your boyfriend would agree.

No! He's my boss!

What? That's so funny.

Thanks to you, I got a great deal on these clothes.

Good to hear.

You know, shopping is actually kind of fun.

Was it not fun before?

Well, yeah...

When I cleaned out my room,

I realized that I didn't have a single outfit I actually liked.

I guess I was always dressing for someone else.

It was just easier not having to think for myself.

But today, I realized what a waste that was.

You can start now.

Anything.

If you have regrets about something.

Regrets...

Oh, in my first year of high school, I really wanted to join the drama club.

I said I just wanted to be backstage,

but the truth is...

Did you want to be onstage?

I wanted try being a different version of myself.

Anyway, there's no way I could join the drama club now.

REINA DECLINE - ANSWER

You're okay?

Today, there's a class reunion.

I'm not going though.

Why aren't you going?

They'll just say bad things about me again.

Again?

Oh, no!

I went through high school with no fond memories.

It's not like I can change the past now, or get my three years of high school back.

Do you know what cactus spines are for?

Cactus spines?

It's to protect themselves from the raging sandstorms,

the blazing sun, and all the ravenous animals trying to eat them.

Even in the brutally harsh conditions of the desert, unable to move...

they still fight...

in their own way.

You may have been helpless as a first-year high school student,

but perhaps now you have a thorn or two to keep those who mean you harm at bay.

A thorn, huh?

Um...

Here.

Oh, let me pay for it.

Oh, no, it's on me.

Please take it.

Thank you.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Sorry for the sudden invitation! I wanted to thank you for the other day.

I was happy you invited me.

Is he your boyfriend?

No, I'm not.

-Oh, but you guys look great together. -I'm not.

If I'm interrupting your date, maybe I should leave?

I'm about to leave myself.

So, I guess this is where I pass the baton.

I think it'd suit you.

That dress from earlier.

"That dress"?

Ms. Kanbe.

If it's love at first sight, follow your heart.

Ms. Kanbe, the money we earn is meant for spending.

The reason I married a boring, dull girl like you

is because you're a stingy woman who saves money.

You're right.

I'm getting it!

-Excuse me. I'd like to buy this! -Right away!

You really bought it!

-Which is better? -It's pretty.

How about this, which do you like better?

-This one! -This one?

Okay, then I'll get this one.

So cute!

-I think it looks great on you. Yes. -Really?

I... never thought you were someone who could smile like that, Miku.

We've been working together all this time, and I never even tried to get to know you.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to talk with you more,

but since Reina is always so close to you,

I kind of shied away.

-Reina! -Reina! Good to see you.

I mean, Reina is all the worst things about women concentrated in one tiny cup,

like an espresso. You know what I mean?

I thought anyone who was best friends with someone like her

must be kind of messed up too.

-Sorry. -No. You're right.

REINA DECLINE - ANSWER

But...

I'm gonna end it.

Hey.

Hey.

Leave it to him.

He's an amazing hairdresser.

This is going to be fun.

Is it true that Kanbe is coming today too?

Yeah. But I can't get in touch with her.

Misa tends to go at her own pace.

Reina, you're a real softy, aren't you?

Even though she did such a horrible thing to you.

Don't mention that in front of Misa, okay?

I don't even think about it anymore.

Does everyone have their glass? Let's make a toast.

Cheers!

Cheers!

The stage is set.

I won't be running away this time.

This stage...

is mine.

Reina, forget it.

Anyone who bails last minute like that isn't worth your time.

No one wants to see her in the first place.

I mean, just seeing that face is such a buzzkill.

-Yeah, so true! -Yeah!

I'm sorry I'm late.

Thanks for inviting me today.

Kanbe?

Oh, sorry. I interrupted you.

I know you're bad-mouthing me. Feel free to continue.

That outfit is too desperate.

What are you trying to show off? Lame!

Your bad personality hasn't changed.

I came to ask you...

something that's bothered me all this time.

Why...

did everyone just decide to hate me?

The reason why we don't like you?

It's your own fault.

My fault?

-Come on, stop it. -Kanbe, you liked Yuto, didn't you?

But when he started liking Reina, you started harassing her behind her back,

and everyone knows it.

Harassing?

Ignoring her, writing bad things about her online,

and throwing away her textbooks.

I see...

Who told you that?

No point trying to cover it up. I heard it straight from Reina.

We're all witnesses.

She was crying in front of us, saying that she'd been holding it in for a long time.

I see.

And you...

You sent Yuto that creepy letter, didn't you?

Saying, "If you keep stalking me,

I'll report you to the school and the police."

That's messed up.

I didn't write a letter to Tanabe.

I also never harassed Reina.

-Don't lie! -Just stop!

It was ten years ago, can't we just let it go?

If Misa says she didn't do it, then she didn't.

Isn't that enough?

We finally got together after all this time,

so let's all have a good time today.

Okay, that's it, that's it!

Let's drink, yeah?

We can't let it go!

Kanbe's the one who made a scene.

Reina, you should tell her to her face.

It's okay. Please.

Reina.

Why don't you stop this?

What?

Playing the good girl.

Playing the victim.

Hey, let's get out of here.

She makes me sick.

This is horrible.

Is it fun crashing the class reunion?

-Hey. -Come on, Reina.

-Let's go have fun somewhere else. -Yeah.

I'm all for enjoying the night, but let me just say one thing.

Never once in my life have I had feelings for Esaka.

Kanbe...

I'm really sorry I couldn't believe you at that time.

I...

I just...

Back in high school, there was something I always wanted to ask.

What did I do?

What did I do that made everyone hate me?

But I couldn't ask.

Because I kept thinking it must've been my fault.

But now?

I just want to give my high school self a big pat on the back

for not hanging out with people like you.

People who can't do anything on their own,

who only know how to gang up and tear others down.

I'm so glad I wasn't friends with people like that!

Reina...

I don't need you.

I don't want friends who don't care about hurting others.

People who take pleasure in someone else's pain,

those aren't friends.

So no. I don't need that.

Because I know that from today on,

I can make as many new friends as I want.

Why?

Why do you keep showing up everywhere like this?

I'm not the stalker or noble son you might think I am, but...

I can at least put an umbrella over you.

I think it'd suit you.

That dress from earlier.

Don't look at me like that.

I know I went too far.

Went too far doing what?

You came over?

Welcome home. I want some tea.

Is hojicha okay?

No way. Too old-fashioned.

Yes.

Good morning.

We need to talk.

I'm breaking up with you.

Don't "huh" me.

You've got another woman, right?

She called me, by the way.

And I've got all the proof I need.

So is this... marriage fraud, isn't it?

Breach of engagement?

Whatever it is, just be ready to cough up a nice, fat settlement.

Oh, and don't worry about me.

I was thinking of letting you swim a little longer,

but turns out, I've already found someone way better than you.

Bye-bye!

Oh, I'm sorry!
