It may have been a dream.

But, there's definitely still this feeling.

Minoru?

What's wrong?

Well,

um...

You may not remember, but

at that time you approached me first.

Minoru?

Sorry.

- Minoru, the bath is ready. - It's waiting for you.

Alright, just a moment.

Okay, Tane, let's eat some ice.

What am I doing?

- Listen! - Yes?

If you keep sighing all the time,

happiness will run away.

- Did I sigh so much? - You did, you did.

But I don't know what happened.

Sorry.

This is better, right?

What a face is that?

Listen.

Noodles with a bad soup

will never taste delicious, no matter how artfully they're served.

That's a fact.

What do you mean?

If you have a problem and only try to cover it up

but don't address the underlying cause, you won't solve it.

That's what I mean.

Boss, once in a while you say something right.

Once in a while I do.

Minoru, do your best.

You're right.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

What shall I do? Kana-san, listen please.

What is it? A fight with your boyfriend again?

Well, you might say that.

We fight, no one gives in, and we wait for the other side to call.

And then, no contact for another week.

- One week!? - Yes, one week.

That's a little dangerous, isn't it?

You think so?

That's bad, one week.

Say, Hozumi-kun, what do you think?

Let's see.

If you're worried, you'd better contact him, shouldn't you?

You really think so?

Well...

You think so, don't you?

Thank you, Hozumi-kun. It's decided! I'll contact him.

But how? Should I call him or should I go meet him?

First of all, you should call him.

I should better call him.

[Won't we meet today?]

[Can we meet today after work?]

- Here. - It was delicious.

Thanks. We appreciate your business.

- Welcome! - I have an appointment here.

The table at the back.

Hello.

Hi.

- Listen... - Listen...

- Sorry. Go ahead, Minoru. - No, you first.

Welcome.

- What can I get you? - For me a blend.

- For me the same. - Certainly.

For the last time I'm really very sorry.

No, that's no problem for me.

Really, I don't know what came over me.

Speaking of it, what were you talking about last time?

Sorry, I couldn't remember.

I see.

Where should I begin?

At that time, my mother had just passed away.

To be true, before I felt lonely and sad because my mother had died,

I was a little relieved.

I was relieved because my mother's suffering had ended

and I wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Oops, what happened? What about college?

It's alright. Today, I'll go pick up Tane.

I see.

Then, is there something you'd like to eat? I'll make dinner.

Mother's dishes.

No, I'm not hungry.

I see. Then, see you later.

But, when the anxiety was gone, emptiness followed.

My body felt empty and drained.

It was at that time.

Carry me in your arms.

No. You're already heavy so walk.

I don't want to! Carry me in your arms.

I said, "No"!

Carry me, carry me!

I feel sorry for that poor child.

Carry me. Carry me!

Enough of that. Lie around there for the rest of your life!

- Carry me in your arms! - I'm going ahead, okay?

No, carry me in your arms!

It's dangerous to lie at such a place. Come on, stand up.

Okay.

Yes, yes, yes. That's great, that's great.

- I'm sorry for this idiot. - No, it's okay.

Well then, bye-bye!

At that moment, I was very happy

when you came to my help.

After a long time, I had a warm feeling.

I made it myself.

Is that true? You (omae) are a genius!

"Omae"?

That guy?

Where could your people be?

Am I mistaken?

Oi, Tane!

I told you to wait at the cash register.

At first, I thought I was mistaken,

but

you really were the person from that time.

Yutaka,

I...

love you.

I love you.

"Love"?

When I began spending time with you,

I was glad to be alive for the first time in a long while.

"What are we going to eat with Yutaka this time?"

"What are we going to do?"

When I considered that you would come, I became nervous.

Still...

Gentlemen, it's about closing time.

Sorry. We're leaving at once.

Thank you

for listening to me today.

I really had not the intention to tell you.

Because it would only bother you.

Yutaka,

shake hands with me.

This will be the last time I touch you.

From now on,

I want everything to be as it was before.

See you.

See you.

Oh, Minoru, welcome home. The bath is ready.

- Where's Tane? - He just went to sleep.

Say, when Yutaka-kun comes this week, shall we have hot pot?

Let's make it a feast and put crabs in.

He probably won't come.

I'll take a bath. Good night.

Well then, it's going to be a long relationship and I'm looking forward to work with you.

- I'm looking forward to work with you. - I'm looking forward to work with you.

- I'm looking forward to work with you. - I'm looking forward to work with you.

- I'm looking forward to work with you. - I'm looking forward to work with you.

Yutaka,

shake hands with me.

This will be the last time I touch you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Yes, that was good. A good one. Bring it!

Yes! Throw it from above.

From above. Look properly at dad's glove. Come on.

Okay, good! That was good just now.

- Nii-chan, welcome home. - I'm back.

- Welcome home. - Nii-chan, play with me too.

- Yes, you'll play with us too. - Eh? Now?

Yes, now. Your turn, your turn.

I'm finished.

Nii-chan, will Yukata come this week?

I don't know. He'll be busy at the end of the year.

What's that? Yukata won't come?

I want to see him.

I can't remember when

I've spent a weekend alone.

Itadakimasu.

- They're burnt! - Oops!

- I told you fry them on a low heat! Geez! - Sorry, sorry.

Say, what's with Yukata? He'll come tomorrow, right?

Tane wants to eat Yukata's riceballs!

Hey, don't be so selfish.

A kid should eat hamburger.

No! I don't like burnt hamburger.

Then, Tane will ask Yukata.

Oi! Hey!

Tane!

Nii-chan, you're petty-minded!

I guess it can't stay as it was before.

Yukata, can you hear me?

Yukata, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Yutaka.

We couldn't say it this winter, but Tane insisted on telling you.

Yukata, are you feeling better?

This year we couldn't celebrate together,

but let's do it next year. Dad also said so.

Next year, Yukata will come?

Well, provided that he's alright.

I can still feel

the hand as big as my own.

Moreover...

It can't stay as it was before.

[On New Year's Eve, will you come home?]

I don't know what to do.
