I realized it once again
after Otoyan left.

He was the one

who always cleaned up after me.

ONE WEEK AGO

What are you doing?

Did I wake you?

Sorry. Good morning.

Forget about "good morning."

Where did you go yesterday?

The business hotel
in front of the station.

Ichiko, I'm planning on staying
at a weekly hotel for two or three weeks.

Why?

What for? To get back at me?

That's not why.

We need some time

apart.

To calmly think about things.

About ourselves

and our marriage.

-Tohko.
-Yeah?

I'm sorry this is last minute,
but let me stay at your place tonight.

The weekly hotel near my office
will have a room available tomorrow.

Sure, but--

what happened?

Well,

just the usual stuff
between a husband and wife.

You don't need to tell me.

But is it really bad?

Mud-fight bad?

Don't tell me you might get a divorce.

No.

We're not getting a divorce.

Actually,

I'm trying to prevent us from getting one.

You know, I like Ichiko,

but sometimes marriages come to an end
no matter what you do.

Hey.

Why did you get a divorce?

The two of you always looked happy.

I never told you?

Yeah.

Let's see.

I think it started

when I got promoted and started
making more money than him.

It ruined the balance we had.

I was always on edge
due to the extra work and pressure.

So he started getting annoyed about that.

We started fighting more.

But you know, once we got past all that,

we had already stopped
talking to each other.

Towards the end,

we didn't even know
what each other was doing

or how we spent the day.

You had been together
since you were 20, right?

Yeah.

He was always better than me at studying,
had a better job and made more money.

And both of us got used to that.

But I think as we got older,

neither of us could accept the changes
in the balance of our relationship.

Especially him.

He didn't seem like that to me.

He was friendly
and didn't act like a macho guy at all.

Feminine men have deep-rooted issues
with their pride as men.

Well, he has his reasons,

but I don't care to learn about them now.

Hey, Otoya.

Don't you have any friends?

Someone you can tell everything to.

I guess not.

But I could tell Ichiko everything.

But aren't there things
you can't talk to her about?

Yeah, you're right.

It's nice that you could talk to her
like a friend.

But I guess she really became your friend.

What?

Nothing.

"1122" BY PEKO WATANABE

I'm back.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Are you okay? You don't look good.

Yeah.

I feel much better after sleeping.

Thanks.

Why don't I sleep with Hiro today?

What?

Thank you.

Call me if you need me.

If you can't go to the wedding tomorrow,

I can go alone.

I think I'll be fine tomorrow.

Did you take medicine?

No.

Mitsuki.

Are you pregnant?

This is just like when you had Hiro.

I went to the hospital today
to get tested.

They said I'm five weeks.

Do you know

who the father is?

Yeah.

The baby is ours.

How can you be so sure?

He and I…

We stopped a long time ago.

Sleeping together.

I don't expect you to believe me

after what I did.

But it's the truth.

What do you plan to do?

I want to have the baby.

After the baby is born…

I will have to raise it
not knowing if it is really my child?

I'm planning…

I won't earn as much as you,

but I plan to start working again.
I've been job searching.

No.

Wouldn't it be impossible for you
while you're pregnant,

and even after giving birth?

That is what happened when you had Hiro.

Are you saying that

because you think your job
is more important than your family

or taking care of our home?

Don't change the subject.

I'm not changing the subject.

You just throw everything about Hiro
and your mom onto me.

Ignoring anything that is a hassle.

What hassle? Aren't we a family?

Aren't we a family?

Aren't we a family?

I can't believe you can even ask me that.

We are a family.

Me taking on all of Hiro's care,

keeping a relationship with a mom
who urges me to join a weird religion,

is all for family.

You choose to ignore it,

but every day is filled with
annoying hassles.

Why are you looking away? Tell me.

Is this family just mine alone?

It's your family too.

Mitsuki, you…

How can you think about
having another child

when you already have so much to handle?

When it's the child
of someone useless like me.

Giving birth to Hiro,

raising him…

There are an endless number of things
to worry about and suffer through.

Even so…

the happiness and joy I feel
outweighs them all.

When I found out I was pregnant again,

I was scared

and anxious.

But it still gave me hope.

Besides…

I don't think it's the child of someone
who is useless.

I want this baby

because it's your child.

I need some air.

Hey.

Running away without a word again?

Mama.

Mama. Mama.

Mama.

Mama. Mama.

Mama.

Good morning, Hiro.

Mama.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This…

You said you felt better after drinking
seltzer when you were pregnant with Hiro.

You remembered.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Let's go get changed with Mama.

Then after that, I'll give you a banana.

-Banana.
-Yeah.

Thank you all for making time
to come celebrate with us today.

Everyone, I just married

my Madonna, Yui.

As you already know,

we are now a stepfamily.

It was a long and difficult road…

Come here, Hiro.

-I'll do it.
-No.

Hiro.

No. No.

I am grateful to build a happy new life
with the best partner in the world, Yui,

and the coolest son in the world, Daigo.

Hiro.

I am also grateful to our family,
friends, and colleagues…

No!

-Stop right now.
-No.

Go back right now.

-Stop making a fuss.
-No!

Be quiet!

Shiro.

No. No.

I'll take him home.

Hiro, let's go home.

Go home.

Mama.

We're going home. Home.

Please give us your blessings.
Thank you so much.

No. No.

We're going home now.

No.

No!

-No.
-Hiro.

-You don't want to go home?
-No.

-Hiro.
-No.

-No.
-Home.

No. No.

Mitsuki.

Shiro.

I'll go with you.

No. No.

No.

Hiro.

We're going home.

Let's go.

No.

No. No.

No.

No.

Later that night,

we had a fight,
and my husband left the house.

So it wasn't okay.

Sorry. It was because of me.

No, it's not because of what you did.

It's a problem between me and him.

Ichiko, are you feeling depressed?

Yeah.

I guess I'm a little sad.

You even invited me out.
Sorry for my mood.

I know you're busy.

It's okay.

I was worried about you.

I come here sometimes.

And it's close to my university.

Okay.

Oh, so you weren't curious?

No.

It feels like I'm trespassing
when I hear about your life.

So it feels kind of wrong.

It is like the more I know
about your personal life,

the more real and human you become.

What does that even mean?

So I'm not a real human?

But is it okay for you
to meet your clients outside of the salon?

Yeah, it's okay.

You aren't a client anymore.

And besides, I already quit the salon.

-Right.
-Yeah.

-It's huge.
-Right?

And it was angry.

-Angry?
-Yeah, it was.

They were fighting?

It was horrible of me to say
you weren't a real human, wasn't it?

I'm sorry.

Not at all. Don't worry about it.

But,

it's what happens when money is involved.

You only demand what you want
from the other person

and skip the time and effort it takes
to know the other person.

The time and effort it takes
to know the other person?

Yeah.

Like knowing what the other person
will never compromise on

or what is important to them.

Doesn't the process
of getting to know a person

involve learning those things about
each other and choosing what to share?

But doing that takes
a ton of time and energy.

So I skipped all that

to enjoy myself and have sex.

And used money as compensation
for your services.

That is why I didn't really want to
know about you.

What?

It's nothing.

Most of my clients wanted to
get involved in my private life.

So this is new to me.

Plus,

I was thinking you're very honest.

Am I?

But I don't mean honest in a good way.

I know.

You're saying my honesty is
shallow and selfish, right?

I was basically saying,
it was nice and comfortable for me

because I was paying you,

so don't tell me about your life
since it's annoying.

Sounds pretty harsh when put into words.

So, Ichiko…

Yeah?

Were you looking to build a relationship
with your husband

that requires the time and effort needed?

Well, that was the plan.

But what really happened was this mess.

You know, Rei.

I have never regretted sleeping with you,
no matter what I've said.

I'm really grateful to you.

I'm glad I booked your services.

Thank you.

I see.

Then I'm glad.

Ichiko.

Do you have plans after this?

Want to have dinner with me?

Thanks.

But I'm going home. I have work to do.

Okay.

I guess there's no helping it.

I know I have no right to feel hurt.

ICHIKO AIHARA -
HOW ARE YOU DOING, OTOYAN?

HOW ARE YOU DOING, OTOYAN?

I'M GOOD. HOW ABOUT YOU?

YEAH, I'M FINE. DO YOU HAVE TIME
TO TALK TOMORROW AFTERNOON?

Why exactly

am I feeling so hurt?

SORRY, ICHIKO

I NEED MORE TIME
BEFORE I CAN TALK.

CAN YOU WAIT A LITTLE LONGER?

What does he mean by "a little longer"?

Until when?

But isn't he--

…too naive? We're both hitting middle age.

Is he named after some sort of princess?

I thought about it.

If I had to decide which is worse

between a husband having an affair
with someone of the same age

and with his wife's permission, or a wife
paying for sex with a hot 20-year old,

I'd say the wife paying for sex is worse.

It feels much more disgusting.

Hey. Wait, Keikei.

Didn't you say it was a great idea?

And that I also have the right
to sleep with other people?

No, no.

The disgusting one isn't you.

It's disgust
for the lopsided power balance.

The unfairness of it.

I gave you my support that time
because I knew your situation.

Yeah, but you still told me to do it.

But from what you said,

does that mean Otoya would be okay
if you had sex with that kid

because you fell in love with him?

Well, no.
I think he would really hate that.

Actually, even before thinking
about Otoyan's reactions,

I probably would never fall in love
with a younger guy.

Why? You were so excited about him.

I was excited because it was a fantasy.

When I imagine dating him,

all I can think about is
the responsibilities instead of the fun.

I guess I was looking for a safe way
to have fun within certain limits,

using money as the means.

Wow, I am a horrible old lady.

Just living together with a partner
you get along with is priceless.

It's extremely priceless.

I feel it keenly now that Otoyan left.

Like how you would be grateful
for good health after getting sick.

Yeah, Otoya seems like a perfect partner.

Yeah.

We always had similar beliefs
and preferences,

and we started to think alike
the longer we were together,

as if we embodied
"I am you and you are me."

You're turning into each other?

But I think the other person needs
to be different from you

for you to feel attraction or lust.

I think the eroticism is
in being curious about the unknown,

wanting to know more about him
and wanting to get closer.

I think I get it.

I think my sexual desire for Otoyan
started to disappear

when I began to think
it was so comfortable

that we started turning into each other,

even though we are two different
and separate individuals.

Disappear, huh?

And also your--

-calm sea.
-Calm sea. Right.

Are you lonely now with Otoya gone?

Yeah.

Okay.

Here.

Your ketone bodies have increased.

Are you eating properly?

Well, sometimes.

It might be best for you
to get hospitalized.

I can't. I would like to avoid that.

Then I'll give you an IV.
You'll need to stay for a while, though.

-Please.
-All right. I'll get it prepared.

SHIRO, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. I'M
GETTING AN IV AT THE HOSPITAL.

CAN YOU PICK UP HIRO?
I'LL LET THE SCHOOL KNOW.

OKAY
BE SURE TO REST WELL

THANKS

HERE'S HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIM

Let's Yanyan together.

LET'S YANYAN TOGETHER

Yanyan. Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Play the Yanyan video for him,

give him a banana,

and when he's in a good mood,

slip behind him and take off his clothes.

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Hiro.

-It's a banana. Hiro.
-Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

-Yanyan.
-Hiro, here's your banana.

Yanyan. Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Yanyan. Yanyan.

"Slip behind him
and take off his clothes…"

That's impossible.

Giving him a bath is hard.
But if he manages to take one,

he'll panic if his face gets wet

so wipe his face frequently with a towel.

If you count while you wash off his hair,

he'll stay somewhat calm.

I'm going to count to five slowly.
It will be over in five.

Okay. Here we go.

One.

Two.

Hey. Stop that!

Mama.

Mama.

-Hiro. Time to sleep.
-Mama.

He'll cry and roll around,

but he'll eventually fall asleep.

He's not sleeping at all.

Mama.

Mama.

Hiro.

Hiro.

Look, it's Yanyan. Yanyan.

-Yanyan?
-Yeah, Yanyan.

Hiro, show Papa which one is Yanyan.

-Yanyan.
-This is Yanyan.

LOST YANYAN

Want to read it?

Yeah.

"Yanyan is lost in space."

Yanyan.

This is Yanyan?

"Space is a much bigger star
than the Earth.

One day, Yanyan--"

Yanyan.

-Is this Yanyan?
-Yeah.

Is he an alien? Is Yanyan an alien?

You don't know, huh?

"One day, Yanyan met Yurayura

who fell from space.

I am also searching for space.

Can I join you?

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Hello?"

Yanyan.

This is Yanyan? He's cute.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Is Hiro sleeping?

He just fell asleep.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

Yeah.

Much better after getting the IV.

You're tired, right?

Yeah.

He panicked because I wasn't Mama.

Of course.

So you couldn't bathe him?

I did.

But he cried.

Really?

Somehow,

I managed to do it
by following your instructions.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Mitsuki?

It's been three days…

since he took a bath.

I couldn't give him a bath at all.

You can't help it.

You have bad morning sickness.

No.

It's not only the bath.

I couldn't stop him
from eating snacks instead of meals.

And I kept playing videos
for him to watch.

At night, he kept being fussy
and refused to sleep.

So it gave me such a headache
that I couldn't take it.

Yesterday…

I hit…

Hiro.

It wasn't the first time, either.

You didn't know, did you?

Hiro's having such a hard time,

but I can't even take care of myself
when I'm feeling like this.

But still…

why did I say I want to have this baby?

When I'm already like this?

I wonder if I really am an idiot.

Mitsuki.

Thank you for looking after him
by yourself all this time.

Sorry.

I thought I needed to be honest with you.

As Hiro started getting older…

we started to see
that his development wasn't normal.

But I didn't want to accept that.

So I think I turned a blind eye
and ignored the situation.

I stubbornly believed
my son wasn't like that.

But it could also be because…

I was more concerned
about how I looked to other people…

than about Hiro's life.

It was my fault you had an affair.

Since I kept saying
you were in charge of the home…

like it was a normal thing.

Didn't you say that, Mitsuki?

That we both have to change.

It's only a little bit, but I think…

I finally understand
what your words meant.

You're probably thinking,
"What the hell is he saying now?"

Shiro.

To be honest, I'm still not confident.

But if you'll forgive me,

if it's not too late…

I want to accept them.

Everything about Hiro

and the baby you're having.

Will you forgive me?

Yeah.

Thank you.

-It gets stuck here.
-That's right.

It opens up completely when you pull
the bottom out like this.

You're right.

Hello, Mother? What's the matter?

I'm so sorry, Otoya.

I tried calling Ichiko,
but she wouldn't answer.

She might be in a meeting.
Why did you call?

My kettle isn't working,
and my phone is acting weird.

Everything keeps disappearing.

You might need a new kettle.

Do you know what company
you got your smartphone from?

What company?

I have no idea.

Okay, I'll ask Ichiko.

Don't worry, I'll get it all fixed.

First, I'll send you a new kettle.

I'll ask the store about your phone
and call you back.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry to bother you
when you're so busy.

It's not a problem. I'll call you later.

Yes, thank you.

Bye.

So it's like a drawstring purse.

The handle is very nice.

YOUR MOTHER CALLED
SAYING HER KETTLE BROKE

SO I SENT HER THIS ONE

THANK YOU!
IT'S SO FANCY!

Ichiko hasn't messaged me

since this last one four days ago.

Thank you for waiting.
Here is your highball.

Thank you.

Don't tell me--

she's been having sex
with that good-looking guy?

She's too busy having sex?

But,

can I even say anything about her sex life

after getting mad
and leaving the house like that?

No. But I'm still her husband.

Wait, can't I just call her?

Come on. I can do it.

Hello?

Hello? Ichiko?

Sor--

Hello? Ichiko?

What?

Is she--

really going at it right now?

What?

SORRY, I HAVE A COLD

BY COLD, I MEAN WHOOPING COUGH
SO I CAN'T TALK

I'M COMING HOME FOR A BIT

Excuse me. The check, please.

Okay.

I'm home.

Ichiko, you need to sleep.

I know you have work, but still.

I'M SORRY I MADE A MESS!!

It's okay. It's milder than I imagined.

Ichiko, want some noodle soup?

Thank you.

I bought cough drops.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Ichiko.

You can keep eating,
but can I say something?

I'm sorry we can't have a discussion.

But first,

I apologize for leaving like that.

I know I don't have
any right to blame you.

But I couldn't accept what you did,
got emotional and ran away.

I thought about it when I was alone.

Didn't we get married

because we want to live happily
with each other as partners,

despite everything else?

I think what we both need to focus on

is how we can be happy together.

Right.

This is something we should
discuss properly.

Sorry.

I am worried…

about my ED.

I know in my head…

that our relationship is not
just about the sex.

I know it,

but a part of me felt like
I was a failure.

And

we have one more thing
we need to talk about.

Whether or not we will have kids.

I know sex isn't the only way
to have children,

but those other methods are
probably really tough.

Besides,

I felt like we've never even talked about
whether we want to have kids or not.

I want you to be honest

and tell me how you really feel
about having kids and my ED.

I will be honest with you too.

What do you think?

Ichiko?

Are you okay?

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I WANT TO HAVE THIS TALK TOO.

THANKS FOR COMING BACK.

You'll catch my cold.

I don't mind if I do.

Okay.

What?

You're going back?

Yeah.

I left my clothes and suitcase there.

And it feels like if I stay, we might
eventually go back to the way things were.

So I'm going back.

Get well soon, Ichiko.

Okay.

Isn't it okay if things eventually went
back to the way things were?

Is that a bad thing? Otoyan.

Mama!

Hiro.

We're back.

Welcome back.

Is it okay for you to be up?

Yeah. I'm feeling much better today.

Hiro. Let's wash our hands first.

Come on. Let's wash our hands.

Come on. Okay, okay.

You can play after you wash your hands.

After you wash your hands.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Here.

Thank you.

You got some color back in your face.

I think I'm almost back to normal.

I think I can take Hiro to school and
pick him up if I keep feeling like this.

That's good. But don't force yourself.

Let me know if you need help.

Sure. Thanks.

What's wrong?

Well…

There's something I want to talk about.

What is it?

Well…

There's someone I want to say goodbye to

before we move abroad.

Who?

The man…

I stabbed with a kenzan flower base.

Is that okay?

I don't understand.

Why do you feel the need to?

And why are you asking me?

I know it's selfish and egotistical of me.

I know.

But I want to apologize in person
for stabbing him.

I want to end things cleanly

before starting over again.

I asked you because
there's nothing for me to hide anymore.

Of course

I could have met him without telling you.

I could have, but…

Haven't you already decided to do it?

This is you informing me,

not asking for a discussion.

And you're telling me this
because you already know I can't say no.

You can go see him.

If that will make you feel better.

Of course I'm not happy about it.

But I'm also not angry about it.

I trust you, Mitsuki.

No.

I want to trust you.

LEARN ABOUT THE SEA WITH SEAFLOS

Hello?

Hello? Ichiko?

You never answer the phone.

Sorry, I've been busy.

Can you tell Otoya
the thing was delivered?

The thing?

That thing. The kettle. I got it.

And the rice crackers.

I called him, but it didn't go through.

Okay.

But Mom, you called Otoya at this time?

Yeah.

You shouldn't. He'll be working
or on his way home.

But I want to say my thanks.

You can just send a message.

I've told you so many times that we can't
always pick up since we're both working.

Okay.

I'll tell him you said thanks
when he comes home.

Thank you.

Sure.

Bye.

Bye.

No. He's not coming home.
He left the house.

As if I can say that.

Hello?

Hello, Ichiko?

Sorry for calling you so suddenly.

Were you working?

No, it's okay.

What about you? Are you outside?

Yeah.

I'm going home after having a barbecue
with people from school.

You sure like to party.

Did you have fun?

Yeah.

The sunset on the river beach was
so beautiful.

And

it made me want to see you.

Hello?

Otoya.

Thank you for meeting me today.

No problem.

It's selfish of me,
but I wanted to apologize in person.

I'm very sorry for doing
and saying such horrible things

to you.

It's okay.

I'm sorry too.

Was your injury okay after I left?

Physically, it healed pretty fast.

But it's still bothering me
psychologically.

The words you said before you left
had a bigger effect on me than I expected.

It might not be much help
for me to say this.

But that's not what I want now.

I am really sorry

for creating problems in your life.

I want to take back what I said
and I hope you'll recover.

Your heart and your body

is obviously your own.

Thank you.

But you didn't create any problems.

If there are issues in my marriage,

that is a problem between me and her.

Yeah.

What?

It's nothing.

You are still the same.

What part?

Your marriage is the center of your world.

You think so?

Yeah, it always was.

It was why you started
and ended our affair.

I think you really cherished
and trusted your wife.

That is why you had an affair with me.

I couldn't forgive that…

even though I'm just a third party.

I need to apologize to you too.

I thought I could be of help to you.

But that was probably
my own misunderstanding.

I got carried away
without truly understanding your pain.

Saying things like I can help you
and don't stress yourself out.

I was probably the one
who created problems in your life.

I'm sorry for doing that.

No.

Otoya, I'm also trying to
rebuild my family with my husband.

I did something stupid.

But I don't think I would have made it
this far if we never did what we did.

You really saved me back then.

I'm grateful for that.

I'm sorry.

I paid you back with pain.

Pain…

You're probably right.

Otoya,

you know,

I'm pregnant.

What?

But don't worry. It's my husband's.

We haven't slept together
for a while, right?

So relax.

I see.

Mitsuki.

I might not have the right
to say this to you, but…

Be happy.

Otoya.

Yeah.

You too.

Of course.

Then, I'll go now.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

OTOYA AIHARA

Who is it?

Why don't you pick up?

Sorry, I'm going to take this.

Hello?

Hello, Ichiko?

Sorry, were you working?

No.

It's okay. Did something happen?

No, I just wanted to talk to you.

Is it okay if I come back home
for a bit today?

Sorry it's so sudden.

It's okay.

It's your home too.

You can come back without asking.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I'll see you later then.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Thanks for waiting.

Your husband?

What?

Yeah.

He said he's coming home today.

For forever?

I don't know. It might be just for today.

And you're okay with that.

It's like you're being pushed
around by him.

Well,

it was also my fault.

Your fault for having sex
with me at the brothel?

Ichiko.

You said you did it for yourself,

of your own free will
and you have no regrets.

So isn't changing your mind
like this so cringe?

But you know,

marriage isn't so simple.

Isn't so simple, huh?

Like,

"You won't understand
because you're not married"?

I think there are things that even I get.

Sorry.

I'm the one who is acting cringe.

Ichiko.

Let's go somewhere.

Somewhere?

Bubble tea?

Not that.

You know what I mean.

Sorry.

It's because
I'm seeing you like this, right?

I really can't right now.

I have to go home.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

See you.

Ichiko.

Will you get back together
with your husband?

I don't know.

But I'm going to try.

I want to try.

Ichiko.

Am I not an option for you?

I want to know more about you.

And want you to know more about me.

This is the first time

I've felt this way.

So I'm super confused.

But

I think

I really like you after all.

Thank you,

Rei.

I'm really happy that someone like you
would like me like that.

But I'm sorry.

The one I want to spend my life with is

my husband.

Okay.

Thank you for being straight with me.

Ichiko.

Good luck.

Thank you.

You too.

Yeah.

Take care of yourself.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

You cleaned.
You did your best, didn't you?

Kind of.

I'll help you cook.

No, it's okay.

I'm not a guest, you know.

That's right.

-Let's eat.
-Let's eat.

-It's delicious.
-Yeah. Delicious.

And you? What have you been eating?

Anything I can make on one electric stove.

But I don't think I ate enough vegetables.
I kept getting mouth sores.

Yeah, me too.

It's been too long
since I've made more than three dishes.

Thank you, Ichiko.

Yeah.

Ichiko.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

What?

Ichiko.

I want to move back…

and live together with you again.

Honestly, I'm still worried about the sex.

And it feels like I'm being selfish
for wanting to live together.

But that's what I really want.

Of course I will respect your wishes.

What do you think?

What do you want?

Give me a second.

I'm gathering my thoughts.

Eat, Otoyan.
It will make it easier for me to talk.

I also want you to come back home.

I was thinking about

what makes a marriage

the entire time we were apart.

But I still haven't found an answer.

We might have been stuck
circling the same spot in the past

and will do that even in the future.

But…

But?

We were serious, weren't we?

And

we never broke up.

About our sex life,

I still don't have a solution for it.

And coincidentally you have an issue now.

But it first started
with my lack of a sex drive.

So…

I think the things we've
been through recently

were necessary for us in our relationship.

Otoyan.

I have a suggestion.

What is it?

Want to try having a baby?

What?

We'll probably need fertility treatments.

And it will be hard,
so I don't know if it will work out.

But no matter what happens,

I think it will help us move forward.

Ichiko.

I had thought about it too.

I want to try.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Let's eat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's eat.

And six months later…

we got a divorce.

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
