How do I want people to see me?

Diligent and sincere.
That doesn't sound right.

Not bright and cheerful either.

Thoughtful and kind sounds nice

but there's more in me.

I don't want praise
for doing my job well.

Neither do I want status or fame.

I don't want anything in particular

but I don't know how to act
in front of people.

Above all, I'm fed up with myself
for feeling this way.

Every 25 to 30 days

a few days before my period,
I become uncontrollably agitated.

Before their period

women often feel mentally unstable and suffer from headaches and dizziness.

But when the symptoms are severe, they're diagnosed with PMS.

Premenstrual syndrome.

Insomnia from anxiety, lethargy,
a depressed mood.

There are various symptoms of PMS

but I get irritable for no good reason
and become hostile.

What's the matter?

Ma'am?

Don't throw things.

You can't sleep here.

My symptoms weren't so bad before and people tolerated my behavior.

But they got worse by the year.

The 3rd year in high school,
my mom took me to a gynecologist.

Your mom's here.

Okay.

I was relieved to get a diagnosis

but the herbal medicine I was
prescribed didn't do much for me.

Hiya.

Everything's here.

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.

Please fill out this release form.

Sorry for all the trouble.

After I started living on my own

my mom called me, almost daily
and sent me care packages.

I appreciated the thought
but it made me feel worse.

Even now as an adult,
I keep causing trouble for my mom.

She says it's her job as a mother
but I can't keep this up.

Thanks.

- Which way?
- This way?

- I think so.
- Yeah?

Good morning.

I haven't seen you in a while.

Yes, it's been a while.

Another incident?

Yes. With my boss at the office...

It could be stressful
in a new environment.

And I was taken to the police.

What?

My boss didn't report me
or anything.

The police picked me up when I felt
Dizzy and was resting on a bench.

I see. But you've been doing well lately.

Doctor...

I'd really like to go on the pill.

I advise against it.

Your mom has a history of thrombosis.

Are you taking the herbal medicine?

Yes.

What should we do?

Let's try something else.
You can quit if it doesn't work.

- Another medicine?
- Yes.

It's called alprazolam.
It calms your nerves.

But it could make you sleepy
so be careful.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Okuda, please.
- Sure.

How am I supposed to understand?

You have to specifically instruct me
to make 35 copies.

Don't just leave it on my desk.
What if I overlook it?

Yes. You're absolutely right.

Don't humor me just 'cuz
I'm new here.

I'm not. I should've handled it
with greater care.

I can't stand this.

I'm not making copies.

This isn't like you.

I wasn't feeling well yesterday.

- A medical condition?
- No.

I apologize for being
so rude.

It's okay. I'm sorry too.

A new recruit of 2 months.

Herbal medicine and
herbal tea weren't enough.

I couldn't screw up again.

But I didn't know how strong
this medicine's side effects were.

I got unbearably sleepy.

I knew I was in trouble but
my mind started to shut down.

I fell asleep on the spot.

Fujisawa?

How long is your summer vacation?

I couldn't stay a minute longer being known as a nutcase.

Fujisawa!

I fled to the restroom.

and decided to turn in
my resignation that day.

It didn't matter if I was there or not.
They were probably better off without me.

They readily accepted my resignation.

You're at a turning point in your life.

Get rid of the evil spirit on your back
and everything will be all right.

Hold on.

Hello. Free tissue paper.

Thank you.

Hello. Hello.

I don't understand what happens to me.

I can't move my body the way I want it to

nor can control my mind
no matter how hard I try.

But I don't want to be pitied
or be worried about.

I have energy and want to keep moving.

Plus, I need money to survive.

It's no use complaining.

"5 years later"

I'm back.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi.

You bought a lot.

They're for you.

You didn't have to.

- Here.
- Thanks.

I'll go make some tea.

- I'll do it.
- I got it.

- Thank you.
- It looks good.

- Here.
- Thanks.

For you.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

I'll put it on your desk.

Thanks.

Yamazoe.

It's for you.

No thanks.
I'm not hungry.

Then take it home.

I don't like whipped cream.

Oh... I see.

Yamazoe, have you gotten
used to working here?

It's nothing like your old job.
Not challenging enough?

It's fine.

I'm here for you.

Okay.

Does plain carbonated water
taste good?

Not really but it's refreshing.

I see.
Maybe I'll try it sometime.

I'm done with these.

Okay.

Tell us about
Kurita Science Corporation.

We make science kits

for microscopes and telescopes
to help children

study the microscopic world
to the vast universe.

In my grandfather's generation,
we also made lenses.

But the factory burned down
in the air raid during the war.

Then our business became
what it is today.

- Next question.
- Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Our broadcast club is making
a documentary about your company.

May we take a video?

Of course.

Thank you.

- Yamazoe.
- Yes?

This is Dan,
Ms. Sumikawa's son.

- First time, right?
- Yes.

I'm Sumikawa.
Nice to meet you.

I'm Yanagisawa.
Nice to meet you.

- Welcome.
- Thanks for having us.

Should we go over there?

Okay.

Stop drinking carbonated water.

Carbonated water.

Huh?

Didn't you hear me?

That sound gets on my nerves.

Stop drinking water and do your job.

Am I being unreasonable?

- Let's go.
- I'm not, am I?

We're not finished.

You didn't even say hello
to our guests.

- Don't run away!
- Come on.

- Did I say something wrong?
- Not at all. Let's go.

Then why is everyone like this?

I can't stand it.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

Coming.

Yes?

Hello. A package from a Tomoko Fujisawa.

Will you leave it at the door?

Okay.

Thank you.

She suddenly snapped about
the sound of carbonated water.

Yeah? The world is full
of different people.

Everyone else is so unmotivated.

I cringe when I think
I might turn out like them.

Is it wrong to want a
sense of accomplishment at work?

Sense of accomplishment....

Mr. Tsujimoto, take a look.

I didn't mean to interrupt you.

It's okay.
I know you're busy.

Let me talk to HR again
about getting you re-hired.

We'd love to have you back.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.
Call me if you need to talk.

Okay. Thanks.

Is Yamazoe doing better now?

I don't know.

When's the last train?

I won't make it.
I'll sleep here tonight.

Good night.

- Take it easy.
- Okay.

Hi. Thanks for the package.

I'll call you again tomorrow.

Good night.

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you know what you want?

I'll take 3 daifuku
and 3 chestnut yokan.

And 1 dorayaki.

Okay.

- Hold on.
- Yes?

- Make it 2 chestnut yokan.
- Okay.

Do you have anything that's not sweet?

- Not sweet?
- Yes.

Um... Hold on.

Thanks.

Hey! Do we have anything that's not sweet?

Hello.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hello.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I got this for you.

Thanks.
You're always so thoughtful.

Dorayaki.

You don't have to keep
buying snacks for us.

Don't make it a habit.

Okay.

But I do love this shop's daifuku.

Thank you.

Thank you too.

Excuse me.

Give it to your kid.

- Will she eat it?
- Of course.

She's three.

She'll eat it.

Yamazoe.

Yes?

I'm sorry about the other day.
I was in a bad mood.

It's okay.
I'm sorry too.

Um... This is for you.

"Pickled cucumber"
Huh?

You don't like sweets, right?

I do.
I just don't like whipped cream.

Sorry...
What should I do with this?

I'll take it. Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay...
Sorry to disturb you.

Thank you.

Sure.

Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

See you next week.

Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Wanna grab something to eat?

I have plans.

Okay. How about you?

I'd love to.

But I'm not done yet.
I'll catch up with you.

- Okay. Call me.
- I will. Thanks.

Ms. Sumikawa, how about dinner?

Sounds great. I'll go get Dan.
We'll sit in the corner.

Okay..

How about dinner?

Sorry. Not tonight.

Can you go?

"Tsuboi Mental Clinic"

Number 18,
to the consultation room.

Okay.

You can stay here.

I wanna go with you.

How are you doing?

The same as usual.

No panic attacks?

No. Not lately.

Does carbonated water
trigger an attack?

He drinks it a lot.
It seems to calm him.

As long as he doesn't drink
too much of it.

The fizz is a stimulus.

How about gum?

The rhythmic chewing of a gum
has a relaxing effect.

Is there anything else
you'd like to talk about?

No. I'm fine.

Okay.

The same meds for a while then.

Okay.

How long is "for a while"?

He can't ride the train,
eat out, or go get a haircut.

It's painful to watch.

He has to cope with his condition
without pushing himself.

I've told him a few times

but it could take 10 years
to overcome panic disorder.

What is it called?

Behavioral therapy?
I heard it's effective.

Where did you hear that?

I read it online.

Readily-accessible information
comes from people with loud voices.

Don't trust everything you read.

Everybody has different symptoms.

Patients of panic disorder are
often treated with exposure therapy.

You gradually expose yourself to places
that make you anxious.

If you're afraid to get on a train,
first just go to the station.

Then try walking through the ticket gate.

Then ride a train to the next station.

You don't have to do this.

I'm fine.

Do you have water?

Hold on.

The end of another week
without incident.

It's Friday.

Have a drink.

Cheers.

I'm Akiko Domon, today's facilitator.

We have some newcomers
so let's introduce ourselves.

I've been studying grief counseling after
a friend in college committed suicide.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Makoto Kikuchi,
the co-facilitator.

Domon was my senior in graduate school.

It's my first meeting in a
while so I'm a bit nervous today.

Nice to meet you.

If you're uncomfortable speaking out,
you don't have to.

We also have some time
to mingle afterwards

but it's perfectly okay not to.

Hello. I'm Kurita.

I suddenly lost my little brother
20 years ago.

I've been attending this meeting
for over 10 years.

I'm Tsujimoto.

I've been coming here after
my big sister died 5 years ago.

Her company finally acknowledged her will
and agreed to pay workers' comp.

I was disturbed that it took them so long..

But last month,
I talked with Ms. Fukuda

and now I'm more calmly
able to address my feelings.

I'll take it.

Okay.

Good evening. I'm Fukuda.

My husband died almost 12 years ago.

I'm sure it's the same
for all of you

but I still can't accept his death.

But I have to move on.

My granddaughter told me about
dating apps. Is that the right word?

I'm thinking of using it
to find a boyfriend.

Oops.

Yay.

Okay. 1-0.

Go.

Go.

How's Yamazoe doing?

Don't worry.
He's doing fine.

I see.

I hope he's enjoying his job.

I'm gonna go.

Let me play. Okay?

I'll help carry them.

Exhale slowly. Breathe...

Are you okay?
Should we call an ambulance?

No?

Yamazoe!

Are you okay?

Should we get some fresh air?

- Can you get up?
- No need to rush.

Ready?

- You'll be fine.
- Watch your step.

I'm sorry.

- Let's go outside.
- Sorry.

You'll be fine.

Excuse us.

It's okay.
Don't worry.

Thank you.

I can drive you home.

It's okay.
I'll get carsick.

Right. Be careful.

Thank you.

- Well then...
- Be careful.

Will you make sure
he gets home safely?

Okay.

Thanks.

I'm fine now.

- I'll see you home.
- You don't have to.

Oh... Okay.

Bye.

Yamazoe.

Yes?

Sports drinks, carbonated water,
rice balls and other stuff.

I thought I'd save you the trouble.

How much do I owe you?

Don't worry about it.
I'm your senior at the office.

You can give me back the bag later.

Okay. Thank you.

See you.

Yeah.

Fujisawa.

Yes?

Um... How did you know
that the pill was mine?

That medicine?

Yes.

At the office.

You were looking for something
in your bag.

Oh... Right...

Um...

I'm just wondering.

Panic disorder?

I used to be
on the same medication.

For PMS.

Oh... Okay...

The female thing?

Yeah.

I felt awkward talking about it to a guy

so I used the acronym.

Let's take it easy and
cope with our problems.

Our problems?
What do you mean?

Learn to live with it
and take it in stride.

Am I overstepping?

No but...

Our problems are completely different.

PMS and panic disorder

are different conditions with different
symptoms and levels of severity.

Just saying.

Oh... I didn't know there was
a ranking to disorders.

PMS doesn't rank that high, huh?

See you.

Yeah? I wanted to see you
but don't worry about it.

Can I talk to him?

Here's Kurauchi.

Thanks.

Hello? Hi.

I can't next week.

It's our busiest time of the year.

I have to go now.

Yeah. Okay.

I'll see you inside.

"Blog about Panic Disorder"
"I can't ride trains or buses.
I have to walk everywhere."

Nothing tastes good and nothing is fun.
I don't feel like doing anything."

"It's an agony to be alive.
But I don't wanna die."

- Hello.
- Hello.

Yes?

It's Fujisawa.

How are you doing?

The same as usual.

Okay.

I brought this for you.

No thanks.

Don't be shy.

Seriously. No thanks.

What's that?

I'm going to cut my hair.

Isn't that hard?

Well... Yes...

Want me to do it?

Huh?

What?

Um.

You can move around
if you get the urge.

Okay.

Drink your carbonated water
and chew gum.

I won't get a panic attack in my own home.

Right.

Were you a hairstylist before?

No.

An aspiring hairstylist?

Nope.

Yet you're gonna give
me a haircut.

Better me than you. Don't you think?

I guess so.

Here I go.

What kind of hairstyle?

I just need a little trim.

At your service.

- Um...
- What is it?

Are you sure you can do this?

You're asking me now?
Turn around and sit still.

Okay.

What happened?

Nothing... Don't worry about it.

Let me check.

Give me another chance.

Did you screw up?

Uh... Everything's cool...

I wanna see.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

This is...

This is definitely weird.

I'm sorry.

Hilarious...

I'm so sorry.

Wait... I have to see this.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

Look at this.

How are you doing?

The same.

Are you sleeping at night?

More or less.

You look a bit better.

- You think so?
- Yeah.

But let's keep you on the same meds.

I'll see you next month
on the same day.

Okay.

Good.

Can I ask you something
unrelated to my condition?

What is like to have PMS?

What?

Someone I know has it.

- Your girlfriend?
- No. A co-worker.

Okay. Hold on.

I have this.

This and...

Okay.

This too.

And this.

Here.

May I borrow them?

Of course.

Thank you.

Our last work day of the year
and the year-end cleaning.

Stay safe and take it easy as usual.

Let's begin.

Let's begin.

- Yamazoe.-
Yes?

Haircut?

Sort of.

Looks good.

Does your back hurt?

Sorry about this.

Be careful.

Fujisawa.

Do you have a minute?

Huh?

Will you come with me?

Why?

What's up?

Take a deep breath.

Why?

Just do it, please.

I'm confused.
What's going on?

I'm busy.

- Don't waste my time.
- I'm taking a guess.

I think you're feeling the symptoms of PMS.

So stay here and
get pissed off by yourself.

I'll go get a drink.

Of course I'm pissed.

You dragged me out here
for no reason.

You're right.

- Then why don't you come here?
- What's your problem?

Does this dirty car bother you?

It does, doesn't it?
Wash it and wait for me.

- Huh?
- I'll be right back.

So dirty...

- Here.
- Thanks.

Hold on.

I can open it myself.

I know.

Here. Take a sip.

- What's the matter with you?
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah yeah what?

Sorry.
One "yeah" is enough.

You know what?

You're kind of weird...

So I've been told.

Don't be so flippant.

Dan, Karin, help
me over here.

Okay.

Over here.

How's this?

Next year's goal?

Let's see...
To keep the business alive.

ow that we have young new employees.

I'll take it easy and do my best.

I'd like to develop a new product.

Standardize the work process
in case we lose someone.

Yep.

Ms. Fujisawa?

I'm sorry...
I've never set a goal for myself.

I heard you're gonna do
the narration for the planetarium.

Yes, that's right.

But the narration...

Yamazoe is writing the script.

I'm just helping him.

In that case, my goal would be
to make sure I do it properly.

Thank you.

Okay. Cut.

How was it?

No good. Another take.

- I'm Fujisawa.
- Fujisawa?

- My mom's a patient.
- Oh, her daughter.

Go on in.

Thank you.

This is for the staff.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

It's nothing special.

Good. Again?

- Here.
- Wow.

Thanks.

- They're cute.
- Yeah.

Nice.

They're a bit too big.
I'll make a new pair.

You don't have to bother.

Hold out your hand.

Let me see your hand too.

I'm fine. It's okay.

Come on.

Thank you.

- It's cold today.
- It is.

Go slowly..

I'll take that.

Really? Thank you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Go slowly.

- Hello!
- Hello!

Hello.

"Happy new year"

He's not home.

I'm Fujisawa, Yamazoe's co-worker.

I'm Ohshima.

- Happy new year.
- Happy new year.

Okay... Goodbye.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

How is he at the office?

How is he? Well...
He works hard.

I see..

But he had a panic attack
at the office the other day.

So I was worried about him
and came to drop off an amulet.

Amulet? Yes.

Would you like one?

I bought a lot.

Really? Can I have this one?

Sure.

I'm glad he has a co-worker like you.

What?

Thank you for accepting his condition.

My desk just happens
to be next to his.

Please keep looking out for him.

Yeah... Okay.

Well then... Bye.

I'm exhausted.
I'm so out of shape.

How was your holiday?

I slept most of the time.

Me too.

Hey, did you eat New Year's dishes?

No. I didn't go visit my parents.

Take this with you.

What? New Year's dishes?

Thank you.

It looks good.

I'm working on getting your job back.
Will you give me a little more time?

Of course.

I have to go take a piss.

Okay.

I'm gonna go pee.

Let's play.

Okay.

Ready?

Sorry.

"Thank you to Kurita Science Corporation"
This planetarium kit

is our most popular product.

Once a year, we set up a mobile planetarium

at an elementary school
as part of our community service.

That's it.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

- I'm going home.
- See you tomorrow.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Fujisawa, how about dinner?

I'm sorry. I have plans.

Okay. Another time.

Sure.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- See you.
- Bye.

Bye.

Hello. Table for two?

We're meeting someone.

Sorry we're late.

- I just got here.
- Really?

- Hello.
- Hello.

This is Misa Fujisawa.
We went to college together.

This is Ms. Onodera.

I'm Fujisawa.
Thank you for seeing me today.

Of course. I'm Onodera. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Thanks.

Are you ready to order?

I'll have a hot coffee.

Me too.

Rooibos tea for me.

Two coffees and a rooibos tea.

I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Thanks for sending me your CV.

May I start off
with some questions?

Sure.

But I haven't decided to change jobs yet.

I just want to see what's out there.

No problem. Ms. Iwata told me.

Okay then.

Is this your hometown?

Yes. To move back with my mom
to take care of her.

A lot of people change jobs
to take care of their parents.

So you'd want a workplace
with flexible hours.

Yes.

Yes?

Yes?

Long time no see.

Sorry I haven't been in touch.

I got this at a deli.
It'll last until tomorrow.

Thanks.

Aren't you coming in?

No.

Okay...

You see...

I've been transferred to London.

London?

Wow. Congratulations.

Can we talk outside?

Okay.

Give me a second.

Sorry. It's from my kid.

I'm still working. What?

The reheat button...
Excuse me.

Press the reheat button.

Job recruiter, huh?
That's so cool.

Are you really moving back
to your mom's place?

Why not?

I can't imagine quitting my job
to live with my mom again.

I'm going to the restroom.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Can I read it?

Sure.

Thanks.

It's a rough draft.

I'll check this purchase order.

Thanks. That one?

- I'll double check it.
- Thank you.

"Do you see the 7 bright stars
in the northeastern sky?"

"They're connected by a line
that creates the shape of a ladle."

"This is the Big Dipper."

Isn't it too mundane?

So what do you suggest?

I don't know.

But isn't space something
much grander?

I guess so.

Have you seen that movie?

Um...

Old men who go to space.

No.

Then what about this?

He raises his thumb toward the moon.

No.

Are you serious?
You need to do more research.

I'll look into it.

An earthquake?

Yeah.

What's the matter?

It happens a lot lately.

Earthquakes and blackouts
don't freak you out?

Me? No.

I don't know about other people
with panic disorder.

When did you start
getting panic attacks?

2 years ago when
I was eating ramen.

Sorry. Bad memories?

It's okay.

The ramen tasted different.
It wasn't good.

So I decided to leave the shop
when I suddenly felt dizzy.

I kept feeling worse.

I couldn't even control my own body.

I got tested at a hospital
right away

but nothing was wrong with me.

The next day on my way to work,
I couldn't get on the train.

I see.

Hey...

Is that Cassiopeia?

Yeah.

So, is that the North Star?

I think that's an airplane.

It's moving.

The North Star is over there.

- That.
- That?

Really?

"National Astronomical
Observatory of Japan"

Does panic disorder have any advantages?

Of course not. How about PMS?
Any advantages?

Well...

My body's more flexible now
from yoga and chiro.

Look.

Isn't that normal?

I guess not.

I get it.

Get what?

People often discuss if a man
and a woman can be just friends.

It depends on the person
and I don't really care.

But one thing's clear to me.

A man and a woman as well as
people who don't get along

can at least help each other.
Don't you think?

Of course. A doctor has patients
of the opposite sex.

I can't control my panic attacks

but I think I can help you
once every 3 times.

Help me how?

Prevent you from getting irritable
because of PMS.

How would you do that?

I can sort of tell by watching you.

Hold on. It sounds like you're
monitoring my menstrual cycle.

That's creepy.

Is it?

It's sexual harassment.

Don't worry. I'm just curious
about PMS. That's all.

Seriously.

I should go home.

- I'll walk you to the station.
- I'll be fine.

Can I finish this?

Go ahead.

I haven't opened it for a while.

My first time in there.

Oh yeah.

It should be here.

Your brother must've loved his job.

It looked like he was enjoying it It

but considering the way he died...

He might've been struggling.

I don't know how he felt.

Brings back memories.

- Testing.
- Yasuo!

This is my brother. He's in charge.

Hello.

All right.

The sun sets in the west
and the night comes.

But hold on.
That's not actually true.

The sun doesn't move.

This is important so I'll say it again.

The sun does not move.

It doesn't help, does it?

It does. Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

The sun doesn't move.

Hold on. I don't need to explain
that the Earth is round, do I?

Oh, good.

What's moving is the Earth
where we all live.

But we say that the sun sets.

Don't you think it's arrogant of us?

If I were the sun, I'd be offended.

I have a question.

What's your favorite star?

The North Star!

The North Star? Nice.

A thoughtful star
that indicates the direction.

Press your stomach with your elbow
and extend your fingers.

Move your arms up and down
at your own pace.

Exhale, open your collarbones,
and lower your elbows.

Reach out with your fingertips.

Inhale and straighten your back.

Relax your shoulders.

Bye.

Thank you.

How do you respond to birthday wishes?

I reply to each person individually.
I don't wanna be rude.

But I'm running out of things to write.

Honestly, it's a pain in the butt.

Then don't reply.

They're just empty birthday wishes.

Sorry.

- Was I inappropriate?
- No.

I'm just fed up with everything.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Tired?

Don't tell me how I feel!

Greek mythology often turns
the dead into stars.

Like Orion and Castor and Pollux.

But in reality, when people die,
they don't become stars.

They just disappear.

But isn't it fun to imagine how
the ancient people were inspired

by the night sky?

Something happened.

Yeah.

I got frustrated.

So you came to the office
on a Sunday?

I was here before I knew it.

It must be pretty bad.

It is.

Want this?

Thanks.

How should I apologize to her?

I don't know.
I've never met her.

Right.

I can imagine you snapping
at someone for no reason.

I usually try too hard not
to offend people.

I guess everyone does.

It's convenient, isn't it?

You can blame it on your condition.

The same with panic disorder.

You can use it as an excuse
to not see your friends.

- No one knows about it.
- Oh.

Why are you here?

Like I said, to look for this.

On a Sunday?

Because I have panic disorder.

It makes you wanna work on weekends
when you slack off on weekdays?

You should choose your words
even if you have PMS.

I thought I could be straight with you.

I see.

After I developed panic disorder,
Mondays are tough after 2 days off.

I know what you mean.

Although I think everyone's like that.

Do you want some more?

- Tea.
Thanks.

All right.
Look at the southwestern sky.

3 stars in perfect alignment
and 4 stars that surround them.

Orion, the most popular guy of
the winter constellations.

The red star to the upper left
of Orion is Betelgeuse.

It's about 500 light years
away from Earth.

What we're seeing is Betelgeuse's light
from 500 years ago.

500 years ago,
it was the Age of Discovery.

Explorer Magellan set sail on
his expedition around the world.

Astronomer Copernicus started
advocating the heliocentric theory.

Isn't it hard to wrap your head
around something so long ago?

The light is from the faraway past
but it looks like it's right above us.

The stars are pretty cool guys,
don't you think?

Today, we're gonna talk
about these stars.

Out of the 88 constellations,
Hydra is the biggest.

Do you see that bright star
near the heart?

It's called Alphard

which means "the lonely one"
in Arabic.

Doesn't it look lonely without
other bright stars around it?

But since Alphard stands out
in the darkness

it helped ancient sailors
navigate their ships.

I bet it'd be pleased to know
how it was

so useful to people who lived
far away in space.

Speaking of guiding stars, the North Star
remains motionless in the northern sky.

Polaris of Little Bear.

But many years from now,
it's going to be replaced by another star.

The Earth's axis wobbles and takes
26,000 years to complete a cycle.

Because of this wobble,
in around 12,000 years

Vega of Lyra will become
the new North Star.

Maybe there's nothing in this universe
that doesn't change.

Yes, please.

It's heavy.

Thank you.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- The poster? - Yeah.

Oh, this!

Where's Fujisawa?

She went home.
She wasn't feeling well.

I see.

Did a phone ring?

Yes.

She forgot her phone.

Can I go take it to her?

Sure. Go ahead.

Okay.

Thank you.

No problem.

I'll be back.

See you later.

I'll talk to Sumikawa about the budget.
Don't touch the screws yet.

Yes?

It's Yamazoe.
You left some things at the office.

Like your phone and script.

Thanks.

Sure. You need to practice.

Take care of yourself.

Thanks.

I'm back.

Hi.
It must've been cold.

I got this for everyone.

Taiyaki.

Really?

Thanks.

Wow. A snack from Yamazoe.

This is great.

- Thanks.
- Sure.

Yay.

- It looks great.
- Nekota!

Let's have taiyaki.

Come on. Let's eat.

Here you go.

"We enjoyed the planetarium!"
What do you like
about this company?

What we like?

What do you like?

I like many things about it.

But I wish the office was
a bit closer to the station.

I agree.

It's a difficult question
to think about it.

What do we like?

What do you like about this company?

To be honest,
I didn't like working here at first.

The tasks felt menial.

I was bothered by the way people

shared snacks with each other.

But I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

What I mean is

our first impressions could be wrong.

Hello? Thanks for the package.

The mittens fit perfectly.

Thanks. I love them.

I'll call you again.

Good night.

Hello.

Sorry I'm late.

No problem.

I came too early.

- Hello.
- Thank you.

Are you ready to start?

Yes.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Please introduce yourself.

Sure. My name is Misa Fujisawa.

I have 3 years of experience in
product management at a science company.

I'm currently producing a
program for a mobile planetarium.

What exactly do you do
in product management?

I inspect parts and assemble products.

I also pack and ship them out.

Tell me about this mobile planetarium.

We put on a show every year
at an elementary school.

This.

Thank you.

Please come if you can.

Am I allowed?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

If you're interested...

Me too? Really?

Big Bear. Little-Bear.

Yeah. That's good.

The North Star.

That's right.

Here you go.

You should come
with your nephew.

Mr. Tsujimoto,
I think I'm going to stay at this company.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

That's fine.
Don't worry about it.

It's been decades.

Me too. The last time I went was
in elementary school.

Do you know when it was first built?

No. I have no idea.

Just around a century ago by
a German company called Carl Zeiss.

Our planetarium is mobile

and it projects images inside
a dome-shaped tent.

The entrance is small
but the interior is spacious.

It becomes outer space
in the darkness.

It's pretty amazing.

Is that right?
I'll have to go see it then.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Excuse me.
There's a table for you inside.

We're fine out here.

Thanks.

Do you want a blanket?

Yes. We'll take one.

Here.

Thanks.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.
You're early today.

I wanted to hand this in.

You found a new job?

Yes.

I made it to the interview.

I see.

You'll do fine.

Thanks.

I was happy working here
even though I'm leaving so soon.

It's getting warmer these days.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

You're here so early.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Good morning.

We make science kits
for microscopes and telescopes

to help children study
the microscopic world...

I wanna change
the scene after the title.

Again?

Go back to around
2.5 minutes from the top.

We already checked it.

I wanna see it again.

I'm quitting the company next month.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I have a job interview in my hometown.

What kind of business is it?

You're interested?

Yeah, I suppose.

A community magazine.

Covering stories
and selling ad space.

Sounds good.

What about you?

I'm gonna stay here.

Really?

- Yamazoe.
- Yes?

Come check the crowd flow.

I'll be right there.

I'll do it.

Thanks.

- Leave them on my desk.
- Okay.

"My thoughts about the night"

Is there any food you don't like?

I can basically eat anything.

How about you?

Other than whipped cream.

Octopus and...

I also don't like myself.

You're lying.
You're definitely a narcissist.

I am not.
I have a bleak future.

Don't be so pessimistic.

This is good.

I've never heard you say that.

About food.

I left something at the office.

I'm going back.

- Be careful.
- Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah.

Hey.

- Hi.
- What happened?

I forgot something.

Okay.

May I pour that?

Huh? Of course.

- Really?
- Sure.

Thanks.

This is cool.

Thanks.

Oh...

Backwards.

Yeah?

Oops.

- Like this?
- Yes.

Cheers.

Everybody, please close your eyes.

We can see stars in the city

but let's go somewhere far away today.

We're now aboard a ship that's slowly
sailing away from the port.

Open your eyes when I count to 10.

1... 2... 3...

4... 5... 6...

7... 8... 9...

10. Open your eyes.

Wow.

Our ship unfortunately has
no cell phone signals or a compass.

So let's look at the sky
and ask the stars to navigate us.

have absolutely no sense of direction

so I'm always relying on the stars.

I get lost when it's cloudy.

That being said, let's look
for the constellation of Orion.

3 perfectly aligned stars
surrounded by 4 stars.

- There.
- I don't think so.

Where is it? Do you see it?

"Tonight's stars,
sundown at 17:43"

Thank you.

Last one?

Yes. No more.

I'm worn out.

I wrote today's narration with
a colleague of mine outside

and another very senior colleague
of our company.

Let me tell you a bit about our backstory.

One day, my colleague found

a cassette tape and a notebook
in the storage room.

The tape had a recording
of a planetarium narration

from around 30 years ago.

My colleague first transcribed it.

Then we used it
to write a new narration.

He said the original narration
almost made him

burst into laughter many times.

But the old cassette tape
always stopped before the end.

I was wondering how
we should end the narration

but I found a memo
by our very senior colleague

in his notebook.

"My thoughts about the night."

"It's always darkest before the dawn."

"A British proverb."

"I think humans have always felt
a sense of hope in the dawn."

Without the morning, many life forms
would've never been born."

"But without the night"

"we would've never noticed
the world outside Earth."

"Thanks to the night"

"we're able to envision the
infinite vastness beyond the darkness."

"Sometimes I wish that
the night continues forever"

"so I can keep gazing at the night sky."

"Darkness and silence keep me
connected to this world."

"Maybe someone in another
town is unable to fall asleep"

"and waits for the morning to come."

"But regardless of
our thoughts and feelings"

"this world continues to move."

"As long as the Earth keeps rotating
at 1,700 kilometers per hour"

"night and morning
come equally to everyone."

"As long as it orbits around the sun
at 110,000 kilometers per hour"

"there will never be a same night
or a same morning."

"Darkness and light that
exist only in this moment..."

"Everything continues to change."

"One scientific truth--"

"A day filled with joy and
a day drowning in sorrow"

"will come to an end as long
as the Earth keeps moving."

"And a new dawn will come."

It should be getting dark outside now.

Gaze up at the night sky.

But please watch your step.

Yamazoe, it was great.

I'll call you. I promise.

Thanks for the invite.

I enjoyed it. I'll call you.

Thanks.

- I loved it.
- Thank you.

Bye.

- Did you have fun?
- Yeah.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We're done.

"A month later"

I was diagnosed with
panic disorder 2 years ago.

I often can't control my own body
or my own feelings.

A panic attack is always terrifying.

I get completely helpless
and feel like crying.

My girlfriend, friends,
colleagues, and bosses...

They're all far away now.

But is that really the case?

Fujisawa left the company
a month ago.

I was so surprised when
she came to cut my hair.

She got on my nerves at first

but I'm glad I met her.

Your seatbelt.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Ready?

Yamazoe, we're starting.

Okay.

Keep going. Keep going.

Okay. Good.
