It's so good!

These donuts taste like the ones you get from a store.

Really?

I'm sure Kasuga must have been quite delighted.

It would be nice if that's how it was.

She seems to be in low spirits lately.

I think something happened, but I couldn't ask her about it.

I see.

I'm worried.

It really is the saddest thing to see someone you love look sad.

Excuse me! - Yes?

Do you know where the fried noodles are?

I'll lead you to it.

We're having Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki today.

Okonomiyaki - okonomiyaki can be served with a variety of toppings which include everything from meat and seafood to vegetables and cheese.

Aren't you from Osaka?

It's not that! We're having an okonomiyaki showdown.

She loves to cook and She loves to eat

Welcome! Table for one?

Yes. - Alright, this way please.

Right here.

Ms. Kasuga?

Can I sit here? - Sure.

Sorry, can I sit here instead? - Go ahead.

Do you come here often, Ms. Kasuga?

From time to time.

I see. It's my first time here.

Is that so?

What would you recommend?

I personally like their ginger-grilled set meal.

But, their fried chicken with tartar sauce is good too.

Fried chicken with tartar sauce?

I might go with that.

Here's your water.

Excuse me, I'll have one set of fried chicken with tartar sauce.

Sure, coming right up.

Fried chicken with tartar sauce is so hard to make on your own.

I guess so.

Are you okay?

What?

A lot has been going on in your household.

It's been so tough.

Living is so hard.

The care-giving I've been doing for my husband's parents that I told you about?

I told myself, "Well, we're a family, so there's nothing I can do about it."

But, my husband wants nothing to do with it.

That's way harder, you know?

I have to think they're my parents.

Is that so?

It makes me wonder sometimes who my life is meant for.

I'm sorry to be talking to you about this.

I can relate.

It's the same with my mom.

The same situation.

I see.

Although I live apart from them now,

I also wanted for my mother to live her own life.

It's all up in my head, but I haven't said it out loud.

It is how it goes.

My child thinks of me that way, too.

I see you have children.

Yes, a daughter.

She's in college now.

Is that so?

Since she's all grown up now,

maybe getting a divorce might be a good thing to do.

Easier said than done.

It's so irresponsible.

I'm also being told to come home to my parents house by my dad

to help in taking care of my grandma since care-giving isn't easy at all.

But, I just don't feel like coming home at all.

And still, when I think of my mom,

it makes me---

You don't have to go home.

If you don't want to go home, then you don't have to.

You must definitely cherish your life.

You must never sacrifice your life for your parents' sake.

I would say the same thing to my daughter.

Would you really say so?

If it were me.

I am concerned about my mother,

but I don't plan to return home.

And that's okay.

I can't say anything without owning up to it but...

Ms. Fujita, you should take good care of your own life too.

It was as if it was my daughter telling me that.

Thank you.

Thank you for waiting. Here's your fried chicken with tartar sauce.

Hey, Totoko!

Finally feel like coming home?

We were just talking about how your room is now a storage space,

and if you could just clean it up...

I'm... not coming home.

Huh?

I'm not going home.

More like...

I'm never going back to that house ever again.

"Ever again"?

Mom had always been an enigma to me.

How she was always at yours and grandma's behest.

As if she was the housekeeper, making her do all household chores.

You were never kind to mom at all.

Never appreciated her.

Are you making me out to be the bad guy?!

Get a grip of yourself!

You've never been charming at all.

If I were to move back, I couldn't be me anymore.

I don’t want to be someone from that house.

I want to be me.

I'm never coming back to that house.

Are you abandoning your family?!

Please don't reach out to me anymore.

Hey! Wait!

You disobedient--- Hey!

Thank you so much.

I am looking forward to the future of this group.

And now for our next song, it came from the radio name Farmy.

"This song is very important to me."

"The family a person has now

is not necessarily a safe or happy place for that person."

"I was saved many times by this song, which says that you can become a family

with someone who truly accepts you and gives you security and love,

even if they are not related to you by blood."

"A family of my own choosing."

The title is "Chosen Family."

"Chosen Family" Song by Rina Sawayama

Kasuga, quite cold again today, isn't it?

Would you like some cream stew?

The chicken meat was so cheap so I bought in bulk!

Gladly. Thank you so much.

Kasuga, do come in.

Well then, let's dig in!

So hot...

So good!

Here you go.

Thank you so much.

There's something I want to tell you, Nomoto.

Go ahead.

I spoke with my father recently.

So, we needed to care for my grandma,

and he asked me to go back home.

But you do have work though.

He said it's not much work.

He told me to quit and just go back home.

That's just...

Nomoto...

I...

I thought about cutting ties with my father.

Some might say that what I'm doing is so irresponsible...

Some people might say that we could try to understand each other better,

or that we should reconcile.

But, to me...

That place is not a safe place for me.

If I'm there, I would lose who I am.

I don't want to

waste away my life for that house.

My father told me that I was turning my back on my family.

That may be what it comes down to.

Do you think I'm heartless, Nomoto?

But...

But I want you... I want you to be the only one atleast

who won't tell me not to abandon my parents.

I... About you...

I have never, ever thought of you to be someone so heartless!

You are kind, Kasuga.

I... When it comes to you...

I know that there's so much kindness inside you!

I cannot forgive your father for ever making you feel

that you're heartless.

Please stay where you can be happiest, Kasuga.

Please stay in a place where you can be kind.

Yes.

That's a promise.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for telling me about this.

I actually have been a bit worried since you haven't been cheerful lately.

Sorry.

For the donuts and this cream stew...

Thank you.

No matter what happens, I will always be on your side, okay?

I... don't want to see you sad.

I...

I...!

Do you want some apples, Kasuga?

They looked really good so I bought them today.

Then, I'll peel it myself.

Thanks.

Alright, I'll leave that to you.

Will two be enough?
