Opening the back!

This one's critical.

Patient is male, thirties, with multiple injuries.

-What level? -300.

-How are his vitals? -Unobtainable.

Hurry!

One, two, three.

Are you okay? Can you hear me?

MVA-induced multiple trauma with intra-abdominal bleeding.

Level of consciousness, 300.

No measurable pulse or blood pressure.

-Prepare for intubation. -Okay.

Why?

How could this happen to my Tomo?

That woman...

That wife of his is the one who should've died!

Excuse me.

May I speak with you for a moment?

Apparently, he's unconscious and in critical condition.

The last person Tomoya Hirano spoke with on the phone was Misa Kanbe.

That is you, correct?

Yes.

You and Mr. Hirano were coworkers and were once engaged. Is that correct?

Yes.

What is your relationship with Mr. Hirano's wife, Reina?

We were childhood friends and best friends.

She is a victim. You'll understand if you look into it.

I've heard from the Toyama Police.

We're trying to locate her in connection with this case.

Do you have any idea where she might be?

I'm not sure.

At a lover's place? Or maybe with a friend?

Reina doesn't really...

have any friends other than me.

Please let us help with the investigation.

We need to catch her as soon as possible.

There's no telling what she might do.

Thank you.

Nabeyaki udon?

It'll warm you up.

Is this your specialty?

My mother often made it for me when I was a child.

Whenever I caught a cold or wasn't feeling well.

It's got all the nutrients you need.

Thank you for the food.

How is it?

It has a gentle taste. It's comforting.

Director,

you were always there watching over me.

You were always protecting me.

Even when I was treated like a stalker.

Sorry. I apologize for that.

Not at all. I was joking.

Let's eat before it gets cold.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but...

when I was looking for you,

I accidentally looked at the calendar on your computer.

MAMEKAME-DOU OWNER PASSES AWAY

The owner of Mamekame-dou will pass away soon, right?

Yes.

Is there anything...

I don't think there's anything we can do.

Right...

I'm sure...

he had a good life.

A good life...

I have to...

settle things with Reina.

Leave that to me.

No.

I'm the one who drove her over the edge.

This all started between me and Reina.

I don't want to run away from her anymore.

Don't do this.

It's too dangerous to face her the way she is now.

"You're not the kind of person who can become a villain."

That's what you told me, Director.

But I'm thinking...

If Tomoya...

If Tomoya... ends up dying from that car accident,

your life will be spared instead.

I'm hoping that's how it ends.

I want it to happen that way.

That's what I'm thinking now.

I'm more than bad enough to be a villain.

I understand how you feel.

Even so, I can't allow you to put yourself in danger.

Because in my second life...

I need you too.

Wataru, you are leaving the head office.

As director of Suzutoya's restaurant operations--

I'm going to get the restaurant business back into the black, right?

If I may, I'd like to propose a change to how the restaurants are run.

FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE

Your anticipation is noted and unwelcome.

Show it to me at the next meeting.

Good grief, he's got the patience of a housefly.

Sorry, as always.

It's fine.

Did you know you would be put in charge of the restaurant division?

Yes... I had a hunch.

Impressive.

The media's having a field day with that accident involving one of our employees.

Please leave that matter to me.

BRAKE TAMPERING SUSPECTED? MAJOR CRASH ON TOKYO EXPRESSWAY!

SUZUTOYA EMPLOYEE IN CRITICAL CONDITION MASSIVE DEBT AND MISSING WIFE A MYSTERY

Director.

You have a call from Asahi. It's the CEO's secretary.

Asahi Department Store?

Hello, this is Suzuki, director of Corporate Strategy at Suzutoya Holdings.

This is Sato from Asahi Department Store.

It's a pleasure to speak with you.

The pleasure's all mine. I'm calling on behalf of our CEO.

We sincerely apologize for unnecessarily escalating the allergy incident.

No, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience that we caused you.

The years have made him stubborn and prone to anger.

No, we take full responsibility for--

Reina Esaka?

You finally noticed.

But I got married, you know?

Because of what you two did.

So now, I'm Reina Hirano.

Did you tamper with the brakes on Tomoya Hirano's car?

It was a kill or be killed kind of thing.

More importantly,

my best friend didn't come to work today.

She doesn't seem to be in her new apartment either.

I wonder if she's on vacation at a luxury hotel.

Must be nice to have such a rich boyfriend.

I'll hang up if you're just going to waste my time.

I have a meeting to attend. Thank you for your call.

Wait.

Let me see Misa.

If I'm going to get arrested anyway,

I want to see Misa before I go.

Just give me a little time to talk to her. I won't do anything.

And why should I believe a word you're saying?

Please. Just a little bit. Just five minutes is enough.

If you let me see Misa now, I'll never bother you again.

Hard sell coming from a liar...

This is my last chance.

I can't let this end with Misa hating me. Please.

Once I meet Misa, I'll turn myself in.

I promise.

I'll be waiting tomorrow at 2 p.m. at the Seventeen Hotel lounge.

Director?

What are you thinking about?

It's nothing.

Tomorrow is the funeral for the owner of Mamekame-dou, right?

Yes.

I'd like to pay my respects one last time.

Actually, something suddenly came up at work, so I don't think I'll make it.

Oh, really?

I'd be worried if you went out on your own,

so please take my sister with you.

Okay.

FUNERAL FOR SOICHI KAMEYAMA

The venue is that way.

Please take this exchange ticket. The venue is that way.

Thank you.

Thank you for being a part of his life. The venue is that way.

RECEPTION

Please have a seat.

Excuse me.

That was a really heartfelt ceremony.

Yeah, it was.

I'll have them bring the car around.

Okay.

Ms. Kanbe.

Long time no see.

Has anything changed on your end?

No, Reina Hirano is nowhere to be seen.

If we see anything, I'll let you know.

Chief.

Wataru?

You can't reach Ms. Kanbe?

Everything's fine. It's over, so we're on our way out.

But it may take a bit more time.

Apparently, there's some handover issue.

Handover?

Yes, he said there was something he forgot to tell Ms. Sumiyoshi.

Something important involving our business partners.

Talk about what? With who?

We got a clear image of the man who broke into the garage

and tampered with Tomoya Hirano's brakes. It was caught on a nearby security camera.

Section Chief Tomita.

Tomita?

I caused you a lot of trouble while I was in the second planning department.

I really regret being such a terrible boss.

Not at all.

Apparently, when he was in the wagashi department,

the owner of Mamekame-dou helped him out.

We ran into him at the funeral.

He's talking with Ms. Kanbe about work now.

Tomita was never in the wagashi department.

Huh?

Excuse me! Ms. Kanbe!

Miku, where are you right now?

Sorry. I'm really sorry. That was totally my fault.

Please excuse me.

You liar.

I knew you wouldn't bring Misa.

And to make matters worse, the place is crawling with cops.

What did you do to Ms. Kanbe?

Is this what you want?

If you turn me in now, you'll never see Misa again.

Come with me.

I'm going to the restroom.

I feel bad for how I treated Ms. Sumiyoshi too.

I think her illness may have actually been caused by all the stress I put on her.

So, how much further is it to the cafe?

Come on now, there's no need to rush.

I was your boss, but we were still on the same team,

so let's take some time to talk about life or whatever.

I guess you're not interested

in what happened to a man...

who lost everything he had going for him, thanks to your schemes.

When I got sent to the warehouse,

rumors that I had sexually harassed and bullied my subordinates

were already spreading.

I'm sure...

I have you and Suzuki to thank for that as well, huh?

I had absolutely nowhere to go.

At this age and in this economy, there's no way I could find a decent job.

My life was over!

That's when...

Long time no see.

Ms. Esaka.

She appeared... My angel...

Reina forgave me for everything even though I betrayed her.

She said in a gentle voice,

"Live for me."

She gave me...

a reason to live again.

Stop there.

Where is Ms. Kanbe?

I just remembered...

our first road trip together.

Where is she? Is she with Tomita?

Misa's always been such a careless girl.

Where is Ms. Kanbe?

If you kiss me, I'll tell you.

I want to overwrite the memory of the most unpleasant date of my life.

You're insane.

Then you'll never see Misa alive again.

Never ever.

So, what's it gonna be?

Answer me, answer me!

Out with it!

You're in the way, you piece of shit!

You're always, always getting between us!

You wanna play the hero? Then die like one!

As a substitute for Misa.

Misa...

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

NO TRESPASSING

UNDER RENOVATION FROM NOVEMBER 2, 2015 TO FEBRUARY 26, 2016

DREAMLAND THEME PARK

Misa.

Morning.

Brings back memories, doesn't it?

Do you remember the amusement park your dad would take us to?

That Ferris wheel actually got taken down, so it's gone now.

We even rode it during our school trip, didn't we?

Nobody would let you join their group,

so I reached out to you, right?

That's right.

I have this.

These really take you back, huh?

I have one for you too.

I made it. Stick out your hand.

Do it!

What happened there?

This?

It doesn't concern you, Misa.

Stop getting distracted!

I want to savor every moment with my long-lost bestie.

There, all done.

Reina...

Hm?

What do you want?

I wanted to talk to you.

About what?

I've been doing a lot of thinking...

about what I should do from here on out.

But without you, I couldn't come up with anything.

But when you're here with me, the ideas just come flooding in.

For mean things to do?

You're one to talk.

I...

have something I've been wanting to tell you.

What?

I...

have always hated you, Reina.

Your selfishness,

your pushiness, the way you only ever bad-mouth people...

the way you can hurt others without a second thought.

I have always, always hated you.

That time when we were in the second grade,

when I was crying and you held my hand,

your hand was so warm,

and I was really happy.

But...

being with you always felt suffocating.

Even when we were getting along,

deep down... I was always wishing I could get away from you.

Yeah.

I knew that.

You wanting to get away from me

made me never want to let you go.

I could never allow you to throw me away and find happiness on your own.

We've known each other since we were seven years old,

but this is our first time to actually share our feelings.

That's true.

If we had just been honest,

maybe it wouldn't have turned out this way.

I don't know.

I've...

been killed by you before.

What do you mean?

I mean exactly what I said.

You took my life once.

But I don't think it was your fault anymore.

I didn't understand you.

I wasn't interested in you.

But even so,

I stayed with you, pretending to be your best friend.

I was a liar.

But now... I'm happy,

because I started my life over without lying this time.

And I'm sure...

if you left me behind,

you could live a different life.

An easier life.

You may be right.

But it's too late.

Unlike you,

I don't get second chances at life!

I don't want to be alone.

Misa, please...

die with me.

START STOP

Please.

You're all I have, Misa!

Misa...

let's die together.

Reina...

I feel so bad for you.

You should!

Do you get it now?

We promised, remember?

That we'd be together forever.

Let me respond honestly.

No way in hell!

Die! Die! Die!

Reina.

That's enough. We're finished.

Let's... go our separate ways.

I'm sorry, Misa.

Remember this for the rest of your life.

Because it's all your fault.

Director? Director!

Doctor! How's my son?

There was significant blood loss, and his condition remains critical.

If only someone had called an ambulance right after the stabbing...

It's regrettable.

Please. Save him.

The situation is very serious.

Please prepare for the worst.

Director...

If you don't wake up...

I'll be lost.

Why don't we go for another walk together?

Let's go to all the wagashi shops and used clothing stores and flower stands...

We'll just wander together.

I want us to eat good food,

and see movies, and travel...

So let's go... together...

Your sister Miku loves you so much.

You have to show her that you're still here.

And Kamekichi is waiting too...

Wataru? No! Wataru!

Please come back!

Please...

Wataru, please...

Wataru.

Wataru.

My, how you've grown.

But you're still the same inside.

I'm sorry.

I've burdened you...

with so much responsibility.

From now on, live for yourself.

Your happiness is...

my happiness.

Now, off you go.

The one you love is waiting.

Time of death confirmed at 11:10 p.m., January 16, 2016.

Tomo... Tomo!

-Tomo! -Tomoya!

-Tomo! -Tomoya!

-Tomo! -Tomoya!

Mr. Suzuki. You're in the hospital.

The surgery is over. You can rest easy now.

Wataru,

can you hear me?

Welcome back.

Reina.

It's spring...

the season we first met.

I'm sorry, Reina.

Goodbye.

Director!

Uber Eats has arrived.

Uber Eats, what's that?

Please stop using words people haven't heard of yet.

What did you bring me today?

Here.

Thank you.

Here, three o'clock snacks.

Thank you very much.

Let's eat.

Sure.

It's good.

Oh, that is good!

But...

it just makes me really want to have Mamekame-dou's turtle monaka again.

We'll always have it in our memories.

Is rehab going well?

Yes, do you want to see?

-Huh? Are you able to walk now? -I can even run.

No way!

Anyone with a spare hand, please help line up the food.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Sure.

He's here!

Okay, everyone!

All together!

Director Suzuki, congratulations on your recovery!

Do you want to say a few words?

I wasn't expecting so many of you to be here...

Thank you all for taking the time.

You're so serious! What a boring speech.

Congratulations.

We've put a lot of love into today's dishes, so please eat as much as you want.

-Thank you. -This way.

-Everyone! She's here! -She's here!

All together!

Section Chief Sumiyoshi, congratulations on your recovery!

Wow! What a surprise!

I thought this was just a dinner party!

Today, we're celebrating both you and the director getting out of the hospital.

You should have told me!

I'm still recovering, you nearly gave me a heart attack.

So... how are you feeling?

Yeah. As you can see...

Maybe even better than before.

I'm going back to work next week,

so you'll be stuck with me for a while yet.

Okay, okay.

-You're always so dramatic! -I'm sorry.

Please take a seat.

Please.

Thanks.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

So, what happened with your husband?

Since he learned about my illness,

my husband has been on his best behavior.

It seems he ended things with that part-timer.

While I was in the hospital, he did all of the housework and took care of Riko.

Thanks to that, I was able to make a full recovery.

So you forgave him.

No, I just submitted the divorce papers.

Yeah! I feel so much better!

-That's great! -That's great!

Isn't it? Today marks the start of my new life.

All right!

-Yay! -Yay!

So... Is it okay if I talk about myself?

What is it?

Today, I think I might ask Yuto out.

Chef, do you have a girlfriend?

Wanna come out drinking with us?

The hyenas are out in full force it seems.

But with all the chaos at this party,

I feel like this is my chance to make a move.

My heart is racing!

-Just to be clear though, Ms. Kanbe. -Yeah.

Please don't get upset when I steal your first love away from you.

Huh? Of course I won't!

I mean, that was back in high school!

It's behind me now! Anyway, good luck!

Thank you!

I like you.

I... I have a crush on you, Yuto.

Huh?

Please... go out with me!

What are you...

Thanks.

But...

-But? -But?

I'm closing the restaurant this month... and going to France.

France?!

Yeah.

I've found some closure here,

and I want to gain more experience.

My mentor from my training days invited me to be the chef

at a new restaurant he's opening.

-How long? -Huh?

How long will you be in France?

To start, about five years...

Huh?!

How could you not tell me about something that important?

-Huh? -I thought we had gotten close...

We even spent New Year's together!

Right...

So you're closing the cafe and it's just...

Au revoir, à bientôt?

Miku... your French is really good.

Well... I was going to tell you today--

That's too late!

Everything's already been decided!

I'm sorry...

So, that's what I was to you, Yuto?

The crust of the bread you only eat when you're starving?

No, I happen to like the crust actually.

-I think I like it better than the-- -Enough.

I...

I hate you, Yuto!

Miku?

She's such a child...

I know she's my sister, but this is embarrassing.

Oh, come on, she's adorable.

-Is it my sister? -Yes.

What did she say?

"My life is over."

Please respond saying, "Grow up a little."

I replied,

"Or maybe it's just the beginning."

Not knowing what happens next, isn't that what love is all about?

You sound like you're speaking from experience.

Yes, it was a turn of events I never saw coming.

Shall we set off on a journey of our own, then?

For now... towards 2025.

Tapioca.

Well, this is it! Dissatisfied?

-Underwhelmed? -Oh, no, it's not that.

-It's just been so long. -That's true.

I'll leave it here. Will you eat it?

Food's ready.

Okay. Wow! It looks delicious!

Who are you? What's your name?

Sorry. I kept you waiting. Okay!

Then, here's this, and this. Yes, also this.

Thank you very much.

And now, taking on the final trick, it's Momiji Nishiya.

She goes for it... and nails it!

A huge cheer erupts from the crowd!

The score is in! 15.26 points!

She's taken the lead, she's in first place!

Momiji Nishiya is our champion at just 13 years old,

taking home the gold medal!

Ohtani!

MAMEKAME-DOU JAPANESE CONFECTIONERY STORE

Everyone, thank you for your patience.

Mamekame-dou is reopening for the first time in ten years.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Thank you.

All right, thank you for waiting. Here's the Mamekame set.

Thank you.

-Excuse me. -I'll be right back to take your order.

Please wait a moment.

So many of the old regulars came back for today.

I'm so grateful.

But are you really okay with this?

Quitting that big company to take over this little wagashi shop?

After hearing stories from you, the apprentices, and the regulars,

I realized that I wanted to preserve

the flavors and the warmth of this place just the way the owner intended.

I appreciate how much you value it...

but I hope you'll start adding more and more of your own touch as well.

From here on, it's your generation's turn to take the reins.

Thank you. Oh, that's right, Chiyo!

What do you think of this?

Oh, wow!

I thought it would be fun if there's a prize once in a while.

Keep it up!

This is where my dream begins.

Oh, by the way, he didn't show up today.

He is so busy.

If you're staying, can you lock up later?

Sure.

Good work today, senpai.

Seriously, please stop calling me senpai.

Good morning, CEO!

Another all-nighter for your thesis?

Don't spread yourself too thinly between work and your studies. Stay healthy, okay?

Just launching the new food research lab must be tough enough on its own.

You came all the way out here just to slack off?

I'm here for an important inspection.

Being section chief of the second planning department has me all fired up.

I've got big shoes to fill after Ms. Kanbe.

Stick with it.

If anyone can do it, it's you, Miku. I believe in you.

Huh? What was that?

So unlike you.

You too!

Yeah, both have been my dream for a long time after all.

Good morning!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025

So, what is it that you're researching at the university again?

How many times have you asked me that?

Well, I do remember the word "bioscience."

There are many regions around the world where desertification is worsening, right?

Yeah.

If we can analyze genes

and develop crops that grow even in harsh conditions...

SHINE MUSCAT

...we can bring life to barren land.

It's research that could turn deserts green.

Hmm.

-You think it's a pipe dream, right? -No.

I was thinking that it's perfect for you.

It's been so long

that I have to study everything from the beginning...

But I just thought it'd be good

if I could find hope for the future, at university or at work.

I'm cheering you on.

You too, Misa.

Hm?

Please do what you want.

Whatever it is.

I'll always be here for you.

Turn left up here.

Okay.

Am I seeing things, or...?

No... That could have been him.

Wow, I didn't know this was out here.

So... Why don't we go over this way?

Sure.

Beautiful...

When you eat them from the bottom, they gradually become sweeter, right?

Did it get sweeter?

Thanks to you.

Do you remember what day today is?

September 18, 2025.

The day my first life ended.

Yes.

But you're alive.

Today will end...

and tomorrow will come.

That's right.

Please marry me.

Huh?

Please...

marry me.

But that's...

what I wanted to say!

I wanted to say it too.

Remember what you said?

That I'm more attractive...

when I speak my mind instead of holding back.

In my first life,

today was the day I was suddenly thrown back ten years.

But I didn't feel alone, because...

you were always there for me.

Whenever I was about to lose heart,

you were always there, holding an umbrella over me.

I want to...

walk with you, Wataru.

Into our future that starts tomorrow.

I always want you by my side.

You are...

seriously...

I love you.

I...

love you so much.

And I always will.

Wataru...

will you...

be my husband?
