All language subtitles for HIS

Crescent-shape means you are

cooperative, caring and reserved.

You take pleasure in
attending to the needs of others.

Is that a psychic reading?

Ear-reading.

Stop. It tickles.

Doesn't this look better on me?

Can I keep this?

You can't. Give it back.

You can have mine.

You look good.

You sure?

Shun.

Should we break up?

book: Franz Kafka: The Trial

A great place for napping.

I'd nap here back in the day.

But not anymore.

Why do you think that is?

They'd think I'm dead.

Not many places to go here
but the river and the woods.

Don't you miss the city?

I'm more at home here.

I shot a boar yesterday.

Take some meat with you.

Thank you.

I'll bring you vegetables again.

Take it easy.

What are you doing?

Who did you come with?

Never talk to strangers.

Daddy said so.

Daddy!

Hey.

Daddy, who is he?

Him?

He is...

He is daddy's...

Pee.

I have to pee!

You have to pee?

Can we use the toilet?

Sora, say thanks.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here after all this time?

Came to tell me you're a dad now?

I left for Australia
to become a pro surfer, yeah?

But I realized it was a naive dream
the minute I got there.

But I didn't feel like coming back so soon.

So I stayed there doing odd jobs.

Then one day,

I met a girl working as an interpreter,
and we hit it off.

Were you bi?

The pregnancy was a shock.

But being gay, I'd never dared to dream
I could have a biological child.

So I told her
I wanted to get married and keep the baby.

Sora was born, and Rena...

Rena is her name.

Rena would continue working,

and I'd stay home for the baby.

It worked for a while.

Now we're filing for divorce.

It's not one of those messy divorces.

We're just sorting stuff out.

So we're taking turns with Sora.

Should you even be here?

In your situation.

Shun, don't get the wrong idea.

This is not about that.

It's in the past.

Then why did you come?

Felt like it.

Felt like what?

Felt like seeing you.

Morning.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Daddy, do it quickly.

Bull's-eye!

Everyone loves my onehanded eggs.

Bull's-eye!

Shun, you'll have some too, right?

So you're pretty much self-sufficient?

What about you?

Not working.

I was a stay-at-home dad.

What about your parents?

They know about the divorce?

Haven't told them.

What is your plan now?

What is your plan?

What are you gonna do now?

They have your favorite
pork cutlet aisle.

Let's buy detergent.

Toothbrushes.

Pick one.

What about toothpaste?

[mahjong boasting]

Again?

[mahjong lecture]

Seriously?

Ladies.

The new face from Tokyo.

Igawa-san?

I saw him at the supermarket yesterday
with an unfamiliar man and a little girl.

A handsome guy!

Sounds fishy.

Good news for you two gossipers.

Cold! Are you kidding me!

Wait here.

Freezing! There's no hot water.

Can you take a look?

I did heat it.

Come on. Sora will catch a cold.

It's leaking.

Please turn the hot water on.

Turning it on.

It's working.

It's working.

Turn it off, please.

It's working.

Thank you.

I will arrange a for repairer
to come tomorrow.

Please make do with the hose
for today.

Thank you.

This time of the year,

problems with hot water supply are
not unusual.

I had a similar problem recently.

Instead of getting irritated,
enjoying the inconvenience is

the key to making it in this town.

I see.

Sorry, I didn't mean to preach.

We're back.

The friend from high school
I told you about.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Yoshimura Misato
from the residency support department.

Hibino Nagisa,
a friend of Shun's.

Hello. What is your name?

Sora.

How old are you?

I'm six.

Do you start school next spring?

How long are you visiting?

We're thinking of staying for a while.

Right?

Gonna borrow that many?

Come on,
there's nothing else to do.

Where's Sora?

She was just here.

What's your name?

Sora.

I've told you not to wander off.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You're her father?

Yes. I'm Hibino Nagisa.

A stylish name you have.

Don't just stand there.

Don't be shy.

Sora, did you get candy?

I got candy!

To go.

Have some pickles.

Shun.

She made it.

This town has a population of 8,000,

and most of them are old people.

Young people like us are
welcomed with open arms.

Especially people with kids.

Don't get me wrong.
I wasn't planning on moving here.

So said the frog:

This is my house.

Letters that come here are mine.

Daddy, read this too.

Let's read it together.

How are you?

Come summer holidays,

come and visit me.

We'll go fishing,

eat watermelons,

go swimming,

and have fun.

I'm waiting for you.

Write me when you know you're coming.

Good bye.

Had to go to Tokyo.
Be back tonight. Take care of Sora.
Nagisa

You are staying with an old friend in Gifu.

Is your friend unmarried?

Yes.

A small child in a household
with two unmarried men

must be inconvenient.

Not at all.

My friend takes good care of her.

My daughter has taken to him.

Don't touch it!

Mean!

Even so,

raising her in a household of men
may be difficult.

Could you ask your parents for help?

We don't have a good relationship.

Couldn't I raise her
like I've done so far?

What we want to say is...

...raising a child is not
a walk in the park.

The best place for a child is a nuclear family
with a mother and a father.

Sora?

Have you seen a girl in a white jacket,
about this height?

She went out just now.

Thank you.

Sora, what are you doing?

I'm going to write a letter to Mommy.

Daddy said getting letters
makes you happy.

That's why I'm going to send one.

Try again.

Try again.

Can I use both hands?

No. Do it like Daddy.

Try again.

Yum!

Any letters?

I asked the frog.

No, not yet.

There have been no letters lately.

So said the frog,
then packed his bags and left.

After the frog had left,
I cleaned up the mail box.

Inside I found fig leaves
the frog had used as his bed.

On each leaf he had carefully written:
Please write me.

We are here.

Thanks for the ride.

Figured you couldn't pick me up
if Sora's asleep.

Sorry for the trouble.

I happened to spot him at the station.

Sorry about him.

Igawa-san.

Would you like to go for a meal
together sometime?

I mean with Hibino-san and Sora.

Sorry about the awkward word choice.

I'll see if I'm free.

Would that be okay?

Whenever works for you.

I'll write down my number.

You'll freeze to death
if you sleep there.

Too tired to move.

Shun.

Help me get up.

Fine, fine.

Ouch.

Didn't have to throw me.

My head's pounding.

Feels like a hangover.

What where you doing there?

In Tokyo.

Divorce mediation.

Divorce mediation?

The mediators were so obstinate.

Insisted two men can't raise a kid.

What year are they living in?

They're right.

Not gonna stop you from doing it alone.

But don't expect me to get involved.

Why?

You have to ask?

Answer me then.

Why should I have to raise a kid
with you?

That's 'cause...

How would I fit in the picture?

Daddy!

I want to go outside.

Alright, let's go.

You too, Shun.

Well done.

She wanted to play,
why is she working in the fields?

Right, Sora?

This is fun!

She's having fun.

Look, there's a dog.

I've brought you vegetables.

Nice to meet you.

It's a dog.

You've done this before.

Write down your address.

Why?

I'll write you a letter.

Not like that.

In hiragana.

This is good.

Good?

Do you hunt for a living?

Back in the day a hunter could make
600,000 yen per winter.

But nowadays few can make
a living out of it.

Your bookshelf's amazing.

Happens when you live in the country.

You a big reader?

This one got me into reading.

I see.

That's not what happened.

He's the one who got me
into reading.

Well, regardless.

Finding someone you can learn from is

one of life's greatest pleasures.

Take our picture.

I want Shun-kun to join.

Shun, too?

Say cheese.

One more.

Mommy!

Did you have fun in America?

Did your work end already?

I missed you,
so I came back early.

I'm taking her home.

Wait! The deal was until the 23rd.

Deal?

Who do you think you are,
making her miss kindergarten for this?

Sora doesn't want to go there.

Is that true?

Being with Daddy is more fun.

Your friends at the kindergarten miss you.

Besides, if you stay here,
you can't play the piano.

I'll buy you a piano
when you start school.

Really?

Mommy will buy me a piano!

That's dirty.

Excuse me?

You've been all but spoiling her
while I've been gone.

Then make time for her instead of your damn job.

Don't speak to me like that.

-Let's go.
-Wait!

Keep off.

Stop!

We've agreed on the divorce...

...but we're still fighting over Sora's custody.

I don't know what's happened,

but you need to apologize...and start over.

Getting married and having a kid...

I felt like I was no longer gay,

like I had become the man
society wanted me to be.

Being told I'm not normal all my life,

I was really happy about that.

So I told myself...

I'd love Rena and Sora...

...and our life together.

But I couldn't do it.

I'm gay.

You married me knowing you are gay,

even brought a child into it.

Was I just a means for you

to please your parents

or gain respect from society?

You used me for your own gain.

Not true.

How is not true?

Even before I told Rena,

I thought I could have sex with men
to get this out of my system.

That way my marriage wouldn't
go to shit.

I cheated with a lot of men.

But it didn't work.

The more sex I had,

the less interested I grew in Rena.

I loved you.

I believed you loved me too.

You fooled me all this time.

I'm an idiot.

Rena.

In that time of confusion,

I came across your old clothes.

That's how...

I finally realized it.

What I wanted...

...wasn't those men.

It's you.

Why?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Shun.

What do you expect me to do?

You know it yourself.

Even back then.

I wanted to be with you even after university.

And what now?

You show up here with a kid.

Crying how you can't forget about me.

How selfish can you be?

Fuck you.

I had finally decided to move on from you.

Then why did you leave me?

I'm sorry.

Don't touch me.

I'm sorry.

Don't touch me.

Without you...

...I can't survive.

Hello.

I just got off.

I'm going to pick up my daughter next.

I'll be at home around 3 pm.

I'll see you then.

Won't work.

My mother has conservative values.

My gay divorce would only give her

more reason to express her reproval of me.

However.

For a single working mother,

having a relative around to help
would benefit you in court.

Mommy.

Will we go look at the piano soon?

This is important,

go wait in your room.

Even without my mother's help,

I can rely on day care services

and arrange my schedule accordingly.

Is that not enough?

He's unemployed,
not to mention...

The divorce is due to him.

That has been made clear
during the mediation process,

the judge will surely take it into account.

Mommy, are you done?

This won't take long.

I told you to stay in your room.

Wait.

Why are you making this hard for me?

I left work early for you.

Daddy is always with me!

I want Daddy.

I want Daddy!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'll ask this just in case.

Is this your first divorce trial?

Yes.

It is generally difficult for men to gain custody
in a divorce trial.

Can you tell me why?

Society still deems women more suitable
for the role of a care giver.

However, in your case,

you have been the child's primary care giver.

If the child currently remains
under your care,

we may request to preserve
the status quo in your favor.

Seriously?

Is something the matter?

My daughter was just taken away
by her mother.

Very well.

I will look after Sora.

That way you can continue working as before.

Thank you.

In return,

you must win the trial

and gain custody.

Still,

quite ironic to see you
come back crawling.

Mommy, wake up.

I want a snack.

Be quiet.

Go over there.

When we go to court,

will the relationship
between me and my partner

affect the outcome?

Since your divorce has not
been finalized,

having taken your daughter
to go live with a person other than your wife

will frankly work in your disadvantage.

However, who contributed to the divorce

and who is more suitable for custody

are not necessarily considered as one entity.

When your being in a gay relationship is
brought up in court,

as long as we can convince the judge
it is beneficial to your daughter's upbringing,

it will improve your chances of gaining custody.

Finally...

You'll want to find employment
as soon as possible.

Your financial security will also affect
the judge's ruling.

Excuse me.

Hello?

This is him.

This way.

Sora!

Daddy!

Why would you do this?

I'm sorry.

This is all Daddy's fault.

You've done nothing wrong.

You've done nothing wrong.

Here is a list of companies currently hiring.

Which ones start immediately?

Pretty much all of them.

Do you have any qualifications?

I don't.

I see.

-In that case...
-You over there.

Looking for a job?

[mahjong lecture]

What is she teaching her?

Do you know why old people talk so much?

No idea.

Old people possess
lots of knowledge and experience,

but it will all be lost once they die.

So they talk to pass it on.

That's what an old person told me.

How long does it take to make
a pipe organ?

Three to four years.

Maybe longer.

That long?

Sometimes four can turn to five or six years.

No one can tell you when it'll be finished.

What both the maker and the buyer need is...

...a whole lot of patience.

This one's a work in progress,

it's missing all but the keys.

There's no sound.

You'll be washing these pipes.

It's a boring job.

Are you a patient guy?

I haven't lasted long at anything.

But this time I'll stick it out.

An earnest fellow.

Thank you for the ride.

You were a great help.

Listen.

I...

I like you.

Would you go out with me?

Thank you.

But I'm sorry.

Is there someone else?

Is it mutual?

I'm sorry.

That was nosy.

Oh my.

Okay...

I don't want things to get awkward,

so please act as before.

Hello.

Sora fell asleep.

Misato-san drove us here.

Thank you.

Thanks for today.

How did it go?

Found a job?

Starting after New Year's.

At a pipe organ workshop.

Pipe organ? Wow.

She asked you out.

What did you say?

No one's asked me.

Did you tell her about me?

What do you think?

Ew, toothpaste.

No shit.

I'm brushing my teeth.

Need to pee?

Let's get you changed.

Let's get you changed.

Are you awake?

You're awake.

Let's get changed.

A boring job, isn't it?

When you spend years assembling
these small components,

one day they'll become a big pipe organ.

Bit like raising a child.

Misato-chan.

How's your heartbreak?

You've seemed under the weather,

so we smelled boy trouble.

She's lying.

I'm not lying.

I saw it.

You're lying. It's weird!

It's not weird!

I saw it!

You're a liar.

I'm not lying!

Daddy and Shun-kun were kissing!

Sora, time to go home.

Daddy and you kissed, didn't you?

Sorry.

It's like you said.

I left 'cause I'm selfish.

I started missing you 'cause I'm selfish.

Coming here...

I shouldn't have come here.

Nagisa.

Do you like it here?

Do you like this town?

Yeah.

Okay.

Why?

If someone has to go,
it should be me.

When you just got a job?

I'm serious.

Haven't you heard?

I think they broke up?

I'll ask him.

Hey, Igawa.

Are you gay?

That's nothing to joke about.

I'm not joking.

I heard it from Hamamoto.

Igawa lived with his boyfriend in university.

Seriously?

That's not true.

It isn't?

He was just a friend.

We were roommates.

I was a broke student.

But from what I heard,

you got a tentative job offer,

but your boyfriend didn't want you to lose it
for being a homo,

so he ended things with you.

My heart. That's a good story.

No more alcohol for you.

Enough of gay this and homo that.

Besides, in this day and age

being gay shouldn't be
a reason to cancel an offer.

That's the real issue.

Good point.

Damn.

If Igawa played for the other team,
I could've tried it once.

He's a good-looking guy.

Should I try him?

What did I tell you,

don't even joke about that.

Shun.

Come with me for a bit.

Folks in Shirakawa have a lot of time on their hands.

Many like to gossip,

but no one's a true villain.

This town has seen travelers throughout history.

Folks here are kind to strangers.

So don't worry yourself.

When you stop worrying,

most things in life will work themselves out.

Who you love is nobody's business.

Live your truth.

Quiet.

Ogata-san went so suddenly.

He died with his boots on.

What's the matter?

Shun-kun.

Will you go somewhere far away?

Because I said you and Daddy were kissing,

will you go somewhere far away?

You won't go anywhere, will you?

I'm glad.

Daddy loves you.

You love Daddy.

Why is that weird?

It's not weird, right?

Could you pass me the beer, please?

I heard you and Igawa-san are together.

Is it true?

We're just friends.

Friends don't kiss each other, do they?

They don't.

Um.

May I have your attention?

I have been hiding the fact
that I am gay.

People would not accept me
if I told them.

I believed the world is not kind
towards gay people.

When you get close to someone,

you want them to know you.

But if they know you, they'll reject you.

Believing it's better
not to let anyone close,

I came here.

But living here,

Ogata-san,

Misato-san,

and the people of this town
showed me kindness.

It wasn't the world that was unkind.

It was me, I realized.

If I am kind,

the world may become a kinder place.

So I will say this.

I am gay.

Hibino Nagisa is...

the love of my life.

When you get to my age,

men and women are all the same.

Whichever floats your boat.

Shun.

Live long.

She asleep?

There's coffee.

Want some?

What is it?

I...

I want to make a life with you and Sora.

Both parties have agreed to the divorce,

leaving only the custody dispute.

The parenting qualifications of both parties
will be considered.

According to your statement,

the defendant
currently resides with another man.

This man is a homosexual, am I correct?

Does this mean the defendant is
also a homosexual?

Yes, that is correct.

Presently, the child also resides with this man.

Yes, that is correct.

Given the defendant's peculiar living circumstances with his homosexual paramour,

the plaintiff questions his ability to provide a nurturing environment for a child.

You just used the words
'peculiar living circumstances'.

What is peculiar about them?

They are two men.

If two men pose a problem,

you must define these problems.

I will interpret your statement as discrimination against sexual minorities.

Please put it on record.

I could ask you the same,
which part of my statement was discriminatory?

Please elaborate.

Attorneys.

Please calm down.

This is only the first hearing.

Please control your emotions.

Mizuno-sensei's statement will
not be put on record.

Nevertheless,

it must be noted
that this is an abnormal case.

When the judge called gay people abnormal,

why didn't you object?

The judge is the most powerful person
in the courtroom.

Claiming bias is a futile effort.

What we can do is convince the judge
your orientation doesn't warrant special attention.

The opponent will undoubtably
try to weaponize it,

so it won't be easy.

Sora-chan is currently living with two men.

Have you noticed anything strange
about her behavior?

No.

She is a happy child.

How is the relationship
between my client and his partner?

Objection.

The divorce has not yet been finalized,

making him not a partner
but a paramour or an illicit affair.

Please rephrase.

Objection overruled.

The witness may answer the question.

Hibino-san and Igawa-san have
a strong bond,

you can see the love
they have for each other.

Have you personally witnessed
the defendant and his illicit lover kissing?

I have not.

Have you heard of them engaging in such an act?

Yes.

From whom did you hear it?

From Sora-chan.

A father who shamelessly exposes his child
to disgraceful acts with a strange man...

Objection.

'Shamelessly exposing to disgraceful acts' is conjecture.

Moreover, Igawa-san is not a stranger.

Please rephrase.

Objection sustained.

The plaintiff may rephrase his question.

Do you believe an environment where the father kisses his illicit male lover and not the child's mother

is good for a child's development?

That's...

Even if the kiss had been an expression of love,

the target of a married man's affections should be
his wife and not his homosexual lover,

would you not agree?

It is mere common sense,

would you not agree?

Objection.

The plaintiff is generalizing

in order to lead the witness.

Objection overruled.

The witness may answer the question.

Even though one might say
it is common sense...

In other words,

Sora-chan's current home environment is
against common sense,

making it a peculiar environment.

Do you not feel sorry for her
for having to live in such an environment?

Like all the other children,

Sora-chan would be happiest
with a married mother and father,

would you not agree?

Answer the question.

Yes.

No further questions.

Bull's-eye!

Here we go.

Knowing the defendant is married with a child,

you still agreed to live with him.

Yes.

Did you once urge the defendant to take the child
back to my client, the mother?

Yes.

I did.

Yet the defendant did not take her back.

Did you warn him again?

No.

But that's because...

That's because you were
so caught up in your fling

you lost all common sense.

You're wrong.

How so?

It's not a fling.

I'm serious in my love for him.

Have you ever seriously thought about
Sora-chan's future?

Yes.

Of course I have.

Were Sora-chan to be raised
by a gay couple like you,

a road of suffering lies ahead of her,

as a gay man you if anyone
ought to understand this.

If you truly care about Sora-chan's happiness,

you will not make a choice
that may bring her pain in the future.

Or are you making claims on Sora-chan
to carry out a vengeance

against the woman who birthed
the child of the man you love?

You're wrong!

How am I wrong?

Objection!

Who would do that!

The plaintiff's question
seeks to slander the witness

in order to uphold discriminatory bias!

Discriminatory bias?

Please explain where you base your claims.

Attorneys, please calm down.

You alright?

Can you do it again?

I'll do it again.

That's it!

Kick and pedal!

You're doing great.

Want me to open it for you?

I'm okay.

Can you open it?

It won't open.

Sorry.

You're fine.

Good?

Daddy.

Did you see Mommy in Tokyo?

When will you see her?

In March, probably.

Can you tell her something?

Tell her what?

I'm sorry I didn't behave.

So please don't hate me.

I didn't behave,
so that's why I can't see Mommy.

That's not true.

Mommy will never hate you.

She loves you.

Really?

Do you love Mommy?

I do.

Then why aren't you together?

Even though Daddy loves Mommy,

Daddy didn't consider Mommy's feelings,

which really hurt Mommy.

You should also say you're sorry.

Mommy will forgive you.

Then me, Daddy, Mommy and Shun-kun,

we can all live together.

Yeah.

When I learn to ride a bike,

will it make Mommy happy?

I'm sure.

Let's try it one more time.

When you discovered you are pregnant,

you agreed to give birth on the condition

that my client would take on
housework and childcare.

Yes.

At the time I had just quit my position

to become a freelancer,

so it was not possible
to balance work and childcare.

What about now?

You have been a freelancer for quite a while now.

Surely your career has taken off?

I do receive offers,

but if I decline,

I may lose the client, so it is unstable.

The client's plans are subject to change,

making it hard to schedule.

I see.

Established but unstable.

You remain unable to make time
for childcare and housework.

Given your circumstances,

do you believe you can perform these duties alone
in place of my client?

Some of it may be difficult for me to do alone,

so my mother will assist me.

I wonder about that.

Will you not end up
leaving everything up to your mother?

Like you did with my client.

I never left everything up to him.

I'm doing my part.

Since I got Sora back,

I've cooked for her every day,

I bathe her,

make her brush her teeth...

Then why is she in Shirakawa now?

Even if her parents are
in the middle of a trial,

he is still her father.

I wanted her to spend time with her father
before starting elementary school.

Is that true?

Yes.

Here I have a police report.

According to it,

when Sora-chan was found wandering alone,

she told the police:

"Mommy drank wine and fell asleep,

so I want Daddy to pick me up."

That's what it says here.

Objection.

This has not been submitted into evidence.

I am submitting it now.

The defendant's submission is admitted.

A child belongs with her mother!

"I tried to wake up Mommy,

but she told me to go away.

Mommy gets mad when she drinks alcohol."

While you were passed out drunk,

Sora-chan went to look for her father.

That is...

Isn't that what happened.

Yes.

But I haven't had a sip since,

it's fine now.

Fine now?

While you were drunk,

Sora-chan left home,

and you didn't even notice her missing.

Are you aware
that is the kind of mother you are?

Yes.

From now on,
Sora will be my first priority.

Didn't you just say

if you decline an offer,

you may lose the client,

prioritizing work?

That is not the case.

I was merely explaining
what my work entails.

I did not mean that
work is my first priority.

I will balance work and childcare.

There you go again.

One minute you are
prioritizing Sora-chan,

balancing work and childcare,

the next you're passed out drunk,

not even noticing
Sora-chan has gone missing.

When I listen to you,

you sound fickle,

I do not see any commitment
to your responsibilities as a mother.

Deep down, are you not more interested in
advancing your career than making time for Sora-chan?

That is not true.

Sora is my...

Can you name Sora-chan's favorite food?

Can you name her favorite picture book?

What do you even know about Sora-chan?

Enough.

Please stop.

What are you doing?

The defendant may not speak,

this is an examination.

Are you serious?

Your Honor,

the defendant would like to settle.

I see.

While this is irregular,

does the plaintiff agree?

We will listen to the defendant's proposal.

The settlement agreement will be negotiated
between the respective parties,

I ask others to leave the courtroom.

The settlement negotiations are now in order.

Thank you.

Many times I have hurt the people I love
with my selfishness.

When I consider my wife and my daughter,

perhaps I should have put
my own needs aside.

But I failed to do it.

I have no excuses for my actions.

I'm truly sorry for what I've done.

During my time as a stay-at-home father,

Sora and I...

...were able to spend a lot of time together.

However,

these moments with Sora were only possible

because my wife was working
outside the home.

I'm sure my wife would
also have wanted to be there,

watching Sora grow.

Yet I was only concerned with my own feelings,

completely failing to understand my wife's feelings.

Rena.

I'm sorry for all that I've done.

And thank you for everything.

Now it's...

...your turn to be with Sora.

Take care...of Sora for me.

We were close to winning.

I'm sorry.

I was not able to win.

Part of me has believed we are the weakest.

This is unfortunate,

but if you have so decided,

perhaps that is the best answer.

Good luck.

Thank you for everything.

Hello.

Could you get Sora on the phone?

Just a moment.

Sora-chan, it's your daddy.

Daddy, I just took Goemon for a walk.

I was cleaning up his poop.

You were cleaning up his poop.

Daddy, did you say it?

Say what?

That you're sorry to Mommy.

Yeah.

Mommy forgave you, didn't she?

Yeah.

See?

Misato-chan, Mommy and Daddy made up.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

One month later

To Jinguuminami Elementary School, please.

Does she speak to no one?

Was she extremely shy in kindergarten?

I don't think so.

I'd say she is very social.

A child's personality is
greatly affected by their home environment.

The school will help in any way it can,

but it's important that you also observe
Sora-chan's behavior at home.

Raise your arm a little bit.

calligraphy: Dream

You have to use more ink.

Let's do one more.

You have to answer properly.

You have the wrong side up again.

This is a hard time for her,

so I want to pamper her.

You can't.

When you start pampering her,
it becomes a habit,

and soon it'll be too late for discipline.

She'll turn out like you.

Are you using hand cream?

Huh, no.

You need to use it.

Your skin's dry.

Are they that dry?

You have a scab here.

What?

Hello.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

No way!

Isn't it cool?

Daddy, how are you?

Shun-kun, how are you?

Write me when you know you're coming.

Good bye. Sora

Shun.

Daddy! Shun-kun!

Thanks.

Look, isn't this cute?

So cute, is it new?

Having fun at school?

Made friends already?

Ten friends.

Look, I can ride!

Daddy, are you watching?

I'm watching.

I can't ride a bike, you know.

Keep it a secret.
