Reina always stayed by my side.

I'm truly happy, as happy as if it were happening to me,

that my most precious friend in the world

met a man as wonderful as Tomoya.

Reina, congratulations on your marriage.

And thank you very much.

For picking up the trash I threw away.

Oh, wow!

Mom, what's for dinner tonight?

Today, we're having New Year's Eve soba.

-New Year's Eve soba? -Yeah.

What's that?

Families that eat soba noodles together on New Year's Eve

get to live a healthy life the next year.

Whoa! I can't wait!

Can't wait!

It's gonna be great!

I want it now!

Mom, where are you going?

Mom! Wait, Mom!

Mom, wait!

Mom, Mom, wait!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

I was used to being neglected.

Mom!

Where are you going, Mom?

Mom, wait!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

They won't be open this late.

Take care of her.

What?

Sorry to interrupt your fun, but she's your kid, right?

We're closing up the store and going to the hot springs.

Too bad. If you wanna be with him, taking care of her is part of the package.

How long are you going to harass your ex-husband?

You just had to show up right at the end of the year.

I'm busy with work.

-More like busy with pachinko! -What?

Wait, it's okay, it's okay.

It's fine, right? Okay, then.

Are you okay?

Get a towel to dry her off.

Look, there's something funny on TV.

I was really looking forward to the hot springs.

We can all go together.

I don't want to take a New Year's trip with a kid.

You suck.

Is your life fun?

Of course not.

Not with that crazy mother of yours.

That.

This?

What, you want it?

Want me to teach you how to knit one?

Reina!

What are you doing? We're going home.

Mom, I made this at school today...

What's there to be happy about?

I'm having such a hard time every day.

Are you trying to piss me off?!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

How can you laugh?

What's the matter with you?

You're just like your father!

You're wishing I was dead too, aren't you?

Dance at the window side, dederekoden

Hail to the festival, dederekoden

Dance if you fancy, dance, dance away

I'm home.

Leave us the little ones

By the window

Shall they play

The festival has come

I'm gonna die now.

Are you happy? Of course you're happy.

You want to live with your father again, don't you?

You have more fun with that woman than with me, right?

You'd be better off with me dead, right?

Say something!

It's all your fault.

Reina.

I'm... opening a store in Osaka,

so I can't have you live with me.

Your mother's relatives in Toyama are coming to pick you up tomorrow.

Take care.

REINA ESAKA

Let's read manga at my house!

Can I come to your house?

Yeah! My mom will make pancakes!

-Yay! -Yay!

I'll give this to you.

I'll be your friend.

TOMOYA

What?

What do you mean, "What?"

Where are you?

I've been blowing up your phone.

My mom's pissed about you not helping make the osechi.

The whole family's here, so get over to the house right now!

-Say cheese! -Say cheese!

-Did you take it? -I got it.

-Let's put this picture up in our rooms! -Okay!

Hey, Misa, we're best friends, right?

What's a "best friend"?

Your one and only best friend.

No matter what happens, they never leave you.

Together forever!

Together forever?

Yup!

Reina, you're my best friend!

This is the most peaceful New Year's I've had in a long time.

It's usually not peaceful?

The hellish osechi training...

Oh, nothing.

Here it is! The roast beef.

-Whoa, looks good! -Wow, amazing!

It'd be nice with wasabi, but I forgot to buy it.

I might have the tube kind.

-Oh, really? -Yeah. I'll go get it.

Thanks.

-Thank you. -Sure!

Wasabi, wasabi...

Let's see...

Here it is.

Are the next-door neighbors coming back in the spring?

The owner offered a discount for a short-term lease.

I'm glad Ms. Kanbe was able to find a place to stay.

She needed a place to live on such short notice, so...

Why don't you just drop the whole neighbor charade

and let her move in here already?

We're not in that kind of relationship...

You're not?

No, we're not.

Which one, green tea or hojicha?

-Anything's fine. -Okay.

For tea...

I recommend this.

Thank you.

Miku, here.

Thank you.

Five, four, three, two, one!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

-Ms. Kanbe! Happy New Year! -Happy New Year!

Watch out, watch out!

Are you okay?

Kamekichi, Happy New Year!

Looking forward to seeing you more in 2016!

When did those two get so close?

I think it's most likely a one-sided thing on her part.

Oh, is that so?

Anyway, have things calmed down a bit for you?

Yes. Thank you for suggesting the apartment.

I'd be worried if you moved in somewhere dangerous.

I will be your neighbor for a while.

Kamekichi will be thrilled.

The first sunrise of the new year.

It's the beginning of a new life.

Right.

Oh yeah.

What?

Wait, don't tell me that's New Year's money?

That's not it.

Here you go.

Thank you for waiting.

I endured my slicing with gratitude.

They said the results should be ready in about a week.

Sorry, it wasn't a very romantic gift.

Why did you decide to give me a health exam as a gift?

I thought the gift should be something practical.

You've seemed tired over these past few months.

Well, I certainly can't afford such a state-of-the-art exam myself, so...

I'll treat you to this regularly.

Why?

Our bodies are our greatest asset.

I'm glad that you're well.

I'm never... going to let you die again.

So, how many years has it been? At least...

Twenty years.

Yeah! Time really flies, doesn't it?

-What? -It's been ten years.

About ten years.

Remember when you were a kid,

and you popped a sweet candy into your mouth,

how easy it was to believe?

That you were happy.

Three o'clock snacks.

Director.

Is there... something you haven't told me?

What are you talking about?

Why are you looking away?

You don't seem like the type to lie when asked directly.

By any chance...

have you met my father somewhere?

Oh, you're both here.

My husband isn't feeling well.

It can't be helped at his age.

You've been coming here so long. Sorry to disappoint.

Oh, no...

But I'm happy I got to see your faces one last time.

Thank you for everything.

No, thank you.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Is Mr. Kawakami here?

I'm Kawakami.

I'm Hirano, the one you helped with the contract

for the condo in Honcho District Four last year.

You're Mr. Hirano's wife, I see. We spoke several times on the phone.

Yes. I'm Misa... Hirano.

Oh, yes, yes. Ms. Misa.

I had some errands nearby and wanted to say hello.

Oh, thank you so much.

And also... I'd like to check on something here.

-It's cold. -Yeah, it is.

So cold!

We should have something warm.

Something warm? Like what?

Udon, ramen...

Hirano. How's that report coming along?

Yes... I'm working on it.

You're so damn slow.

SALES DEPARTMENT

I heard Hirano got removed from the project.

He's just a gofer now!

They're saying he might get transferred.

Well, yeah,

anyone who cheats on their fiancée with her best friend

then actually marries the homewrecker is bound to fall off the fast track.

He's finished.

Right?

LUCKY LOAN, LLC

What's wrong?

My favorite Japanese confectionery shop is closing down.

You know, Mamekame-dou, who helped us with the Shine Muscat Daifuku before.

Oh, no...

I heard the owner's having health problems.

He was quite old, wasn't he?

It's really sad, but...

I guess... there's nothing we can do about it.

Something got you down too, Ms. Sumiyoshi?

We're here if you need to talk.

-Well... -Yeah.

My husband... is having an affair...

-An affair?! -Hey, Miku!

I mean... Just when things finally settled down for you,

now she has to deal with this?

Ms. Sumiyoshi, are you sure?

Yeah...

I walked in on it happening.

At the restaurant, with the college student part-timer...

They were kissing.

What... With a girl that young?

He seems to be hanging around her place

and supporting her financially

with the restaurant's earnings and our daughter's education fund.

-Huh?! -What?

I'm leaving Riko with my mother tonight.

I thought I'd catch him in the act.

Will you be okay by yourself?

I've gotta deal with this properly, for my daughter's sake too.

I'll... go with you.

Me too.

NANA KOZUKI

-...I told you, I bought it. -Yeah.

-Where is this? -Like... a short vacation.

About 30 minutes away.

-I see. -Not today though.

-I can't. -Let's go!

-I can't. -Why not? Let's just go!

-No, I can't. I can't. -Come on! Why not?

-Why not? -I'll get tired.

Get tired?

Well, we'll have the money by the new year at the latest.

There you go again. Have a little faith in me.

Niboshi? Maybe...

-It's quite light. -Oh really?

Yeah, that's better...

What are you doing?

What the hell?

-Hey... This is my house! -What are you doing?

You have a child. Aren't you ashamed?!

You're destroying your family like it's nothing!

Hey, how can you trample

-on people's feelings like this? -How can you trample

...on people's feelings like this?

-Hey, cut it out, old lady! -Huh?

-Playing the victim! -Playing the victim.

Ms. Kanbe.

Your husband was unhappy.

He says you're always too busy for him

and even when you are around, you never comfort him.

You complained so much, I figured you didn't want him anymore.

Are you going to make me the villain over a single mistake?

My life's a failure because of you!

I'm telling your parents about this.

Huh?

Hey. Wait...

No.

Listen to me.

I've heard enough.

-Hand it over. -Let go of me.

I said hand it over!

Stop!

Hand it over!

Stop!

No!

Come on, you stupid bitch! Hand it over.

Shut up, let go!

Give it to me!

Manager!

Ms. Kanbe, are you okay?

Ms. Sumiyoshi!

Riko, let's go.

Are you okay, Ms. Sumiyoshi?

I'm totally fine. Just banged up.

That was pretty pathetic, huh?

Don't worry. I can go home as soon as the test results come back.

Ms. Sumiyoshi.

How's the pain?

Thank you for your help. I am fine now.

There was nothing wrong with the bone, but it is still swollen, so please rest.

-Yes. -And...

when did the abdominal pain start?

Around the end of the year.

I think it's just stress.

I think it's just stress.

I see.

I have some concerns,

so could I ask you to stay in the hospital for a detailed examination?

I have some concerns,

so could I ask you to stay in the hospital for a detailed examination?

Oh, okay.

What is Reina thinking?

She didn't show up for New Year's either.

You said she wasn't feeling well,

but when I went to your apartment, she wasn't there.

I don't know what's going on either. She doesn't communicate at all.

Is the baby okay?

Tomo, when are you coming?

Like I said, I'm almost there. Ten more secon--

This is Hirano.

Excuse me,

is this Tomoya Hirano's residence?

We're here because we can't reach Tomoya about repaying his loan.

Come out of there, you son of a bitch.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

You must be hungry.

Dinner's ready.

MOM

Today, I paid the real estate agent a visit.

Okay.

The salesman thought I was Misa, though.

I don't really mind that it's the condo you were going to live in with Misa.

It's a nice place,

and we're the ones living here.

But... there's one thing that's been bothering me.

Something bothering you?

Misa bragged to me about it before.

She said that your investments were doing well enough

to make a much larger down payment on the condo.

But apparently, that wasn't true.

It was Misa who made the down payment, wasn't it?

I wonder what that means.

At that time,

I was temporarily short on cash, so I borrowed some from Misa...

Temporarily? Just now, some guys came by saying you owed them money.

Scary men. Are they loan sharks or something?

Tomoya,

I won't get angry if you're honest with me.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I got scammed.

I got scammed into investing in cryptocurrency, and because of that,

I took out loans from the bank, got cash advances, borrowed from loan sharks...

How much?

How much?

Twenty-six million in total.

I wonder why Misa didn't tell me that you were in this much debt.

Misa told me to keep quiet about her making the down payment on the condo.

You know how she likes to make her man the star.

Let's eat.

I'm sorry, Reina.

I have to sell this condo or I'll be in some real trouble.

Let's stay with my parents for a while to rebuild.

My mom will help us out,

and I have ways to earn us some money.

It may be a little uncomfortable for you,

but it's for the sake of our unborn child.

Reina, something that spicy might be...

Bad for the baby?

Reina, we can't just give up over this.

-We're going to be parents. -I lied.

You lied?

I'm not pregnant.

I lied because I wanted to steal you away from Misa.

Wait a minute, what do you mean?

You lied about being pregnant to get me to marry you?

That's what I said.

If the pregnancy was a lie, then I didn't have to marry you.

Huh?

You think it's okay to just mess up someone's life like that?

-I didn't mess up anything. -Huh?

It was Misa. Misa orchestrated the whole thing.

Don't pin it on someone else.

Do you know who Misa is living with now?

Wataru Suzuki.

Misa moved out of her cheap apartment

and is living with Director Suzuki in an upscale neighborhood.

I knew it. So, Misa really is dating him?

How could she move on so quickly after breaking up with me?

Use your head, you idiot.

It's been going on for a lot longer than that.

The two of them have likely been together

since before we went to the Shine Muscat vineyards.

If you think about it that way, it all makes sense.

You mean Misa was two-timing me?

That can't be...

Didn't you think it was strange?

She has obviously changed.

Our Misa, always insecure, frightened, and submissive,

is now suddenly rebellious and even domineering at times.

It's because she got Wataru Suzuki.

-You're lying. -She fed me lie after lie

to trick me into taking you away from her!

She planned the whole thing to make us look like the villains

so she could be with Director Suzuki without hiding it!

You're lying.

Use that little brain of yours and think for a minute!

Who would want to marry you?

A debt-ridden mommy's boy who can't even do his job.

-Shut up. -And as proof,

-guess what she said to me at our wedding? -Just shut up.

She smiled at me and said, "Thank you for picking up the trash I threw away."

I told you to shut u--

Come on, wake up already.

That bitch...

threw us both away like worthless trash just to make herself happy.

We were both...

tricked by Misa, can't you see?!

Damn it.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

I'll never forgive her!

I'm going to take it all away from her, just like she did to me.

I'm going to rip her happy life to shreds!

Is that true?

Tomo.

What she just said,

is that true?

Mom, how long have you been listening?

You said there's no baby...

No...

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Wait... Mom!

Good morning.

Morning.

Ms. Sumiyoshi, have you already recovered?

Ms. Kanbe, can we talk for a minute?

I got the test results back.

I have cancer.

It's just one thing after another, huh?

This just blows the affair out of the water.

I'm going to be in the hospital a lot,

so I'm hoping you can handle the Shine Muscat project.

Sorry to spring it on you like this.

I'll go talk to the higher-ups.

Please wait a minute.

That's... That's just...

I know you can do this.

We launched this project together, right?

Please, see it through for me.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION REPORT OVERALL HEALTH: EXCELLENT

Excuse me.

Her daughter is still young.

It's awful. At 37 years old, I can't believe it.

Excuse me...

Did something happen?

Hey, is Hirano not here today again?

No. We can't reach him on the phone either.

What is he thinking, missing work without notice?

Yeah.

Okay, work. Back to work.

It's been a while.

DELIVERY COMPANY

DELIVERY METHODS

ORDERING PROCESS?

CLIENTS

Hello.

Hello.

Are you still working?

The lights in Corporate Strategy are the only ones still on.

And you?

I just left the office.

Um...

If you have time tonight...

there's something I want to talk to you about.

I'll be leaving soon.

-If you can wait at home-- -Misa.

It's been a while.

Who were you talking to?

You don't answer my calls or LINE,

and I heard you've moved?

You are so thorough.

For the beginning of your new life...

Congratulations!

Misa,

you left the bouquet that Reina gave you at the wedding.

It wasn't pain that made you leave it there.

I was closest to you,

but I didn't notice any of it.

I didn't realize that you needed more as a woman.

We have a lot to talk about,

so can I hang out at your new place?

I hear it's a real nice place.

My life is a mess.

I married a woman I don't even like, and my mom collapsed!

She collapsed?

She had a stroke.

She might end up dying.

She'll be fine.

Rehab will take some time,

but you'll be surprised how healthy she--

You hypocrite!

This is your fault! It's all your fault!

Misa.

Stop!

Let go of me!

Who's trash? Who's trash?

Say it.

What part of me is trash?

Are you okay?

Who the hell do you think you are?

It's your fault.

Everything, it's all your fault!

So, it was true,

what Reina said.

That you set it all up.

That you put me and Reina together when you didn't need us anymore.

You're a real piece of work, Misa.

You told me once, didn't you?

To take responsibility for what I do.

Well, it's you who needs to take responsibility now!

You don't get to just leave with him and be happy.

You deserve to die for what you did.

It's my family's second house.

Only my family members know the location.

I've also requested security.

I'm having my sister bring a change of clothes and daily necessities.

You can relax now.

Please wait.

Before that...

Does it hurt?

No.

I'm sure you've never been in a fight before.

Don't underestimate me.

I actually used to go to a karate dojo when I was a kid.

Is that true?

I stopped at white belt, though.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Um...

I have something to tell you.

I...

I've...

died once before.

I was murdered...

in 2025.

Tomoya and Reina pushed me off the condo building.

And then I found myself ten years in the past.

That's when I met you.

I started to dream that...

maybe I could live this life with you, that I could have a second chance.

But then...

Ms. Sumiyoshi...

got cancer,

a disease she was never supposed to get.

She got it instead of me.

Because she got involved with me.

I never wanted that.

If this is what it costs,

then I never should have taken this second life.

Before it's too late to save her life...

I have...

no other choice but to end my own.

But still,

getting to meet you...

and getting to dream about so many wonderful things...

Even if it was only for a few months...

getting to spend this second life with you...

it made me so...

so happy.

What are you talking about?

Do you really expect...

an adult to believe such a ridiculous story?

It is true that I was attracted to you.

However...

after hearing what you just said,

I no longer have that feeling.

I am honestly disappointed.

The stalker matter will be handled by the company.

Please wait here until you hear from someone in charge.

-Director. -Let's end this.

I won't be seeing you in private again.

Take care.
