In every girl's heart, there is an inexplicable fear
Will I ever be happy?
Who is it?
I work at a children's counseling center.
We'd like to see Asukachan... What's wrong with my daughter?
She's fine.
I'm busy right now. Please go. Wait...wait a minute.
Can I see for myself if she's really fine?
You're hurting me. My arm hurts.
My arm...
Let go of it! It hurts! It hurts!
I think we're going to get another complaint call.
That woman doesn't deserve to be a mother.
Although her daughter was smiling.
But there's no light in her eyes.
Whether the child's future is good or bad is entirely up to the mother.
What?
It was a great man who said that.
I don't remember who said it.
It must have been Mother Teresa again.
Isn't that what Nightingale said?
[The couple was arrested by the police for threatening the principal of the elementary school with a kitchen knife for reopening the Sports Day.]
[On the 28th of last month]
[A couple broke into an elementary school and threatened the principal with a kitchen knife]
[Forcing him to cancel the Sports Day.]
These parents are so stupid, I don't know what they were thinking.
[The police arrested father Yusuke Saito and mother Mayumi Saito.]
I don't want to be that kind of mother.
I've always thought that since I started working at a children's counseling center.
But the first time that thought came to me...
It was a long time ago, before I started this job.
I was only ten years old at the time.
Mom.
Mom!
Mom, don't go.
I don't want to be your mother anymore
Mom! Mom! Mom!
I don't want to be that kind of mother.
I'm back. Yeah.
Threatening the principal with a kitchen knife for reopening the games or something.
I don't understand.
It's too much, isn't it? Right?
I really can't forgive such immoral parents.
Ugh, we're eating curry again?
I've been working too much lately.
But you like curry, don't you? I've been eating it for four days in a row.
I'm not Indian.
I know, that's why you have to serve it with miso soup like the Japanese...
Ouch! It's so hot!
Aren't you eating, Grandpa?
I don't know why my head is a little...
I'll take a shower and go to bed.
I'm also worried about gaining weight.
I only worry when I eat curry
If you don't want to eat, you don't have to.
Sit properly
There's no need to go to a private school in Tokyo, right?
The annual tuition fee is about this much.
How can I afford that?
Can we not let Chinatsu take the exam? She's working so hard.
Oh no, better not waste.
Disgusting!
What's so dirty? Is this how you talk to your father?
Here, eat.
Dad! Dad! Dad! Grandpa! Grandpa!
Just your underwear?
Don't talk nonsense. Chinatsu, be careful!
Wait, wait, wait.
Grandpa. We'll be at the hospital soon.
Dad!
You can't drive properly.
Damn that drunken bastard! Grandpa!
Oh, shit, I've been drinking too.
I said it was faster to drive there than to wait for the ambulance.
So it's my fault.
Don't cry, Dad.
It's okay. I'm sure we'll figure it out.
I'll hang up now.
Chinatsu, is Grandpa okay?
Grandpa? There was a fire at the Fukura bicycle shop in Chibamachi.
Repeat... a fire at the Fukura bicycle shop on No. 1 street in Chibamachi.
What? Did he say Fukura Bicycle?
Excuse me.
Step back, please. It's dangerous. Step back.
Back up a little more. Be careful.
Don't go there. It's dangerous. Please don't go there.
Everyone, it's dangerous here. Please step back.
It's still a while before the first bus.
It's okay. My boyfriend's house is near here.
She's still trying to make love with her boyfriend at this hour.
I envy her
Bite my finger.
Hiromu?
Why are you here? I'm scared.
I'm scared. No...
Senpai...
I don't have the strength to be angry now.
Koharu!
Koharu, Koharu, Koharu!
It hurts.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
We must look suspicious, right?
I'm sorry.
I don't usually drink this much.
I got drunk at a party yesterday.
Does your ear hurt?
No, just a little ringing in my ears.
Ok then, be careful on your way back.
Sorry to bother you.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, please wait.
That...
I'll pay for your clothes and shoes.
It's okay.
Then at least let me thank you next time.
She said her arm is bruised from being grabbed so hard.
What are you going to do about it?
This is a big problem.
You should talk to her too, Shiraishi.
I think it is normal to lose
After all, we're all human.
You're such a gentle senior.
Dad, it's time to eat. The stew is getting cold.
I can't find another job.
I've never touched anything but a bike in my life.
You still have the dry cleaning label on your clothes.
Did you know that one milliliter of insulin can make a person hypoglycemic.
Can a person die of hypoglycemia?
It only takes one milliliter.
What? Do you want to die?
I won't die and leave my daughter alone.
I won't go to tutoring classes.
After graduation, I'll find a job.
I don't have to force myself to go to college.
It's better to go to college.
You've managed to get your grades up.
But the store is burnt down, and the family is so on edge.
Grandpa has hospitalization expenses.
That's...
I will find a way
No need, as long as I don't go to college, the problem will be solved.
And you're not doing well at work either, are you?
You should worry about yourself first.
You don't have to play the role of a mother.
Hello.
Which is more important to him, work or family?
Your husband?
He said he has to receive important clients today too
It's good to have a father who works hard
Koharu is finally breaking up with Hiromu.
What? Are they really going to break up?
You two have been together for 10 years since the first year of high school.
Did you see them doing it with your own eyes?
Don't say these things in front of the kids.
My senior at work twists her back like crazy.
That's really terrible
No, it's good.
There's no future being in a band anyway.
It's a good idea to get a new one.
That's not very nice of you to say.
I'm not just saying that, I am concerned for you.
Do you want me to teach you a way to make your life easier?
A way?
How to do it?
By throwing away all your dreams and aspirations.
What?
To be married to a good man, to have a good life, to be a good mother.
Throw all those dreams away.
I don't understand.
That is to say,
if you have dreams and hopes, you'll be miserable.
If things don't work out the way they're supposed to, you're going to be miserable.
I've taught you a great way.
But that kind of life sounds so boring.
I'm not teaching you anymore
But you've been so unlucky, God is not the devil.
There's got to be some good luck coming soon.
Like what?
Like meeting a new man or something like that.
meeting someone new...
Oh, I do seem to have met someone
Don't lie
Is it a handsome man, a prince on a white horse?
Izumizawa Hospital Director Izumizawa Daigo
He's a doctor, for God's sake!
And he runs his own hospital.
He must be very rich.
What do you mean, rich?
How did you catch him? I didn't catch him.
Have you made contact? No.
No. Then contact him. Now.
A doctor with an imported car,
is better than a prince on a white horse.
Hurry up and call him. I don't want to.
I don't want to. No, I don't want.
What's the matter? This one is perfect for you.
But the price is too...
Excuse me, we'll take this one. Okay.
How are these shoes?
Try them on. Try them on. No.
Take off your shoes.
Give me your foot.
Put the other one on too.
They fit you well.
I'm alive now thanks to you.
Don't say that. I just did what I had to do.
If someone else had been there.
I'd probably be dead.
People pretend they don't want to see people get run over by trains.
But in their hearts, they want to see it.
That's what we all think, right?
You think so?
Are you uncomfortable?
Eh?
You look terrible.
Did you sleep well at night?
I haven't slept well lately.
Did you tell your boyfriend about meeting me?
No... Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?
Did I tell you I have a boyfriend?
Because you were wearing a ring when we first met.
Although you're not wearing it today.
Actually, he cheated on me that day.
It's over.
I'm sorry.
It's already in the past.
Let's go beat him up together later
I'm sorry.
What about you? You must be married.
By the way, did you tell your wife to come out to see me?
You can't be trusted.
My wife died in a car accident.
That's all in the past.
Do you like horses?
Horses? Horses? Yes.
Yeah. You mean... this kind of horse?
Have you ever been to that famous horse sashimi place called Kuroshio?
No, I haven't.
I'm going there tonight with someone.
Would you like to come with me if it's convenient?
Who do you have a date with?
Come here.
Come on.
Good
First time I met you. My name is Koharu.
What's your name?
Say hello
Hurry up, Hikari.
Oh, I said it by accident.
You're nervous, aren't you?
What happened to your eye?
It's a contusion.
Oh, you know such a difficult word?
She wears it because she likes it. Actually, it's already healed.
Take it off.
It's unique. Take it off, will you?
Can I order? Yes.
Two oolong teas. Yes, two oolong teas.
And an orange juice. Okay.
I'll start with a sashimi platter for three...
I found it.
Let me help you with your makeup.
One more sashimi. One sashimi.
Turn it over.
One fried wakame. One fried wakame.
One, right? Yes.
Let's order that much. Okay.
Okay, we're done.
Look at it.
Daddy, Daddy, look at my eyes.
They're so cute. She drew them for me.
It's so beautiful
The left eye was hit by a dodgeball.
It hurts just to hear it.
Your eye is probably going to rot. No, it's not.
The doctor said it's recovering well.
This horse is so delicious.
pa ko pa ko pa ko
No, it's pa ka pa ka
pa ka pa ka pa ka pa ka
I can't believe it!
Hikari is actually quite difficult to get along with
No, she's a very good kid.
You're good with kids.
Because I've always been the one taking care of my sister.
We don't have a mother either.
Did she die?
No. She ran away from home suddenly.
When I was 10 years old.
Why?
I also want to know why.
Was it because your parents had a bad relationship?
I thought our family relationship was pretty good.
But she probably found another happiness that she would rather give up her family
Even if that's the case,
parents who abandon their children are also the worst.
Then you must try to be happy.
Show everyone your happiness.
Can I really be happy?
It feels so far away.
Koharu, please call me in the future.
I want to help you.
Thank you. You're welcome.
I still can't.
I don't want to touch a corpse.
Don't be so picky.
I said I don't want to touch a corpse. Is that picky?
This is a job that Daigo has worked hard to find for you.
Just call me Dai-chan.
Uncle, why don't we listen to them first?
This is basically how the job works.
Usually we wait in the office for the sales to come in.
Is there any problem?
So...is the pay so high here?
We are paid by the piece.
So you can get more if you have work to do.
If there's no problem, we'll hire you.
Although it's a bit remote,
we have a better environment here.
Are you really okay to cover the hospital bill? Don't worry, don't worry.
You saved the life of my best student.
Daigo finally found a good girl this time.
I'm relieved too.
What? Didn't you hear about his ex-wife?
About Mayuka.
I only heard that she died in a car accident.
That woman was really bad.
I'm back.
Doctor, look. What?
Who is it? Who drew this?
Put this value into this formula.
I see. So that's how it is.
It's easy. Yes.
You're sworn to secrecy?
I swear.
What? What?
I'll hang myself from a hook for 100 years.
If you break it, you'll swallow a thousand...
No, 100 million needles.
It's a deal.
Wataru?
It's too loud. I'm sorry.
Koharu, don't you have someone?
You mean someone I like? Yes.
Papa likes someone, but I'm not supposed to tell you
Who is it?
I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
You can't tell me? Yes.
There's something I want to ask you about science too.
I'll be your tutor starting next week.
We'll have to pay you for tutoring, right?
No, I want her to go to college.
I really think she's a terrible tutor after what she taught me.
By the way, I went to see Dad.
It's a beautiful hospital.
That single room is super expensive, right?
It's really expensive.
After I stayed there, I couldn't go back to the public hospital.
It's all thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
I just did what I could.
So...
Are you going to marry Koharu?
What?
What are you talking about?
I agree with Koharu being my mother.
Look, even Hikari said he agrees.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
Hey, Hiromu
You think I won't fall in love with someone else?
I'm in love with someone else
What?
It's not possible.
I don't want it.
You're not qualified to say no.
I don't want to.
I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't want it.
I don't want to.
Forgive me.
I know, I'll shave my head bald.
Don't just say that you should shave it.
I've always been the one to say
You think I'll forgive you if you shave your head bald?
If you want to cut someone, cut your penis.
I only have you.
I'm serious.
Words are not enough
Please listen.
I'm sorry...
What did I like about him in the past ten years?
It's okay. People who cheat on their wives go to hell.
How about this Koharu? Is it cute?
It's too childish.
Hikari is a child.
You really do not understand the heart of women
The heart of a woman.
A girl in the second grade.
She's already a woman at heart.
How long has it been since I've sewn something?
I don't know if I can do it again.
I want to keep it a secret from Hikari
I want to give her a surprise and make her happy.
Thank you.
It's the least that I can do.
Well...
I don't know what to say when you tell me this all of a sudden.
I understand.
I don't hate you.
I just...
I'll take it slow before I propose marriage.
I also think it's better this way
Then you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?
I'm in a hurry.
You're only 26 years old.
But I'm going to be 41 soon
And...
Hikari needs a mother too.
Mom...
Happy birthday, my dear Hikari.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
Let's eat.
Before you eat
Here. A gift for you.
Can I open it? Yes.
What will it be?
What is it?
This is too cute!
Is this a pencil bag?
Yes, it is.
And Koharu made it herself.
Really? Isn't it great?
Thank you.
She loves it.
I'm so happy.
So...
Can I really do it?
Hikari.
Koharu is willing to be your mother.
Really? Really?
Do you really want to be my mother?
Really?
Let's go.
Where are you going?
To submit the marriage application.
If it goes well, it'll be approved today.
We'll get married on Hikari's birthday.
There's no better birthday gift than this.
Are you going to get married?
Congratulations to you both.
Can you believe it?
We're a family now.
Mom!
Hikari
That's great!
Come on!
This way, this way.
It may hurt a bit.
You can open your eyes now.
I can't believe you want to get an IV. You're weird.
There's only water, salt and sugar.
Because I haven't had an IV in 26 years.
This is my dream.
From now on, whatever your dream is, I will make it come true for you.
I can hear it.
Come here for a minute.
Come on.
No sound
How is it possible?
It's true. It's impossible.
I can't hear you.
tick tick tick
Let me do it
Your heart is beating so fast.
Maybe it'll explode.
It was before she was two years old.
That's why Hikari has no memory of Mayuka.
She doesn't remember much about her mother.
Did something happen between you and Mayuka?
What do you mean?
Dr. Kyota said
She was too much.
When she died in a traffic accident
She was with another man.
A college student.
I think she met him on a dating app.
Honestly, I felt very conflicted
I couldn't even cry
As long as it's for Hikari
I will do everything I can
Even if I have to fight against the world
Even if I give my life to her
I think that's what a real parent is.
But Mayuka doesn't have the sense to be a mother.
My mother was a scumbag too.
When she ran away from home.
I kept holding on to her.
I begged her not to leave.
But she threw me away.
She said I don't want to be your mother anymore
Isn't that too much?
She just gave up being a mother
I hate her for being irresponsible
If I meet her one day
I'll definitely punch her in the face
Really?
I mean it.
I've punched her many times in my head
But now it doesn't matter anymore.
I,
will be a good mother to Hikari.
You've never felt motherly love.
Can you be a good mother?
Mom.
I'm just asking.
It's very important.
Being a mother.
and becoming a mother,
is not the same thing.
I'm sorry about earlier.
It's really hard to be a parent.
No matter how hard you work, no one will praise you.
I just want to tell you this.
I'm counting on you for my son.
Koharu is so pretty.
Yes, she is.
Ready
One, two...
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Koharu. Yeah?
Please say one word.
Please...
I will make Dai-chan and Hikari happy.
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
That's a good one, Koharu.
It's done.
It's time for you to get up.
Don't tell Dad.
I won't tell him.
Here.
I'm going out.
Have a good trip.
Be careful on the road.
It's lunchtime.
What's up?
My father is an astronaut.
He went to the moon.
You're definitely lying.
I have a disease that kills me if I lie.
You're a liar!
Believe it or not
What?
What's wrong?
Hikari, what's wrong with you?
Hikari, are you okay?
What's wrong?
What a beautiful woman
You're a realistic version of Cinderella.
All the girls in the world will envy you.
You've only known each other for a month.
Aren't you afraid?
You don't even know him
It's not like the longer you know a person, the better you understand them
I always thought the Cinderella story was scary.
They only danced at the ball for one night.
And then they got together because they lost a shoe.
Is it really okay to get married just knowing each other's shoe size?
You're worried, right?
You really don't have any dreams.
You don't want to get married either, right?
Then introduce me to a good guy.
Why should I introduce you?
What's wrong with that?
Koharu.
Stop licking the whipped cream from the mint leaves.
Stop licking the whipped cream on the mint leaves.
You're the doctor's wife now.
Don't lick it!
This medicine has some side effects, although it's possible to take less of it.
But doctor...
If I don't take the medicine, I'll get better slowly, right?
Then you buy some dried deer penis and grind it into powder and take it after meals.
The effect is significant and will rejuvenate you
Deer penis?
Yes
Please take care.
The new flu infection has increased and vaccination is extended to elementary school students.
Mom. Mom.
So...
Mom, Mom. Eat this.
Mom.
Mom, wait a minute.
Don't give it to her.
Mom!
Hikari, wait!
No, there's shrimp powder here.
It's a good thing you didn't give it to her.
Mom. Is she allergic?
She's not allergic.
But she threw up a lot after she ate it last time.
Then it's better not to eat it.
Mom.
Wait for me.
Let's eat something else.
The meatballs should be fine, right?
I'm sorry. You made them on purpose.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's a good thing you said that before she ate.
Here you go. Okay.
Did you have the roasted wheat?
There's shrimp in there, right?
It's okay.
Is it because you were too young?
What do you hate to eat?
Black beans. They look like worms.
Where do they look like worms? Black beans are delicious.
So, what do you like to eat?
Marshmallows.
I can't put that in your lunchbox.
Marshmallow! Marshmallow!
Marshmallow.
Can I touch it?
You're so horny.
Little pervert.
Here.
I'm going out
Have a good trip.
Let's go.
You found it?
I was going to show you my drawings after I finished them.
I'm sorry.
You're a good painter.
It's just a casual drawing.
This room is amazing.
They're all my treasures.
That's...
It's a rabbit I had in elementary school.
What?
There was a boy named Miura in my class.
He said it's disgusting to make a specimen of his pet.
It's true that people don't do that.
But when Miura's parrot died.
He didn't even touch it, so his mother buried it.
He didn't even like the parrot.
That kind of person has no right to call me disgusting.
Isn't that right?
That's right.
Is this you?
Yes, it is.
I've been drawing since I was 10 years old.
You can see that.
The body is maturing
And then the process of aging.
When I first started to draw, I thought it was stupid.
But over time, I've persevered and now it's become my treasure.
After all, I've been painting for 30 years.
Persistence in painting for 30 years is really remarkable
Where's the ring?
I put it away.
Here.
Where did I put it?
What are you doing?
No, I think it's cute.
How was school? Did you have a good time?
Let's draw with a pencil.
What's up?
Where's your pencil bag?
Wataru took it.
That's a child with no education.
Remeber Hikari's eye patch a while ago?
Wataru threw the ball and hit her too.
He didn't even say he was sorry.
It's good that she wasn't bullied.
Bullying?
Yes.
Can you consult with the school?
Yes.
Would it be weird for me to go to school alone?
Weird?
You just got remarried.
Wouldn't it seem like I'm trying to act like a mother?
You're a mother now, aren't you?
I'm feeling a little tired.
You like to bite fingers, don't you?
What's wrong, Hikari?
Can I sleep with you guys?
Hikari said that Wataru stole it.
It's a...
An expensive pencil bag?
It's not a question of price.
The problem is that there was a theft.
In other words...
The problem is the school's failure to respond quickly to such incidents.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
I wish teachers would take the side of the underdog.
Okay?
You're right.
It's our teachers who are not paying enough attention.
It's the kids... That's enough.
Are you saying that my child is wrong?
What do you mean?
Excuse me, excuse me.
I told you to stop doing such a dangerous sport.
When are you going to stop letting the kids practice karate?
This teacher is sick in the head, right?
Every time my kid comes home with a big bag on his head.
I told you guys, right?
The woman who just lost her temper is a monster of a parent, right?
It's too much.
The compensation is low,
the teachers are so pitiful.
Yes.
Dr. Izumizawa, you're just in time.
I'd like to ask you about the next vaccination.
Oh, yes, the new flu.
Your wife is so young.
The doctor has been taking care of us.
I'm the school doctor here.
Excuse me, can I talk to her for a moment?
Let's go.
Mrs. Izumizawa.
Yes.
You may be busy.
If you don't have time to make a lunchbox,
let Hikari eat at school canteen.
What do you mean?
Hikari, she's crying.
She said no one made her lunch.
Will Wataru come to our house to apologize?
Yes.
When?
Any time now.
But he likes to lie. I don't know.
I'm sorry.
Apologize, Wataru.
I didn't steal it.
You did.
I really didn't steal it.
I'm so sorry.
I think he lost his pencil bag.
It's okay.
Let's take this little scuffle as a chance to make up.
I told you I didn't steal it.
Wataru. I didn't do it.
Apologize. I told you I didn't steal it.
I'm really sorry. I didn't steal it.
You should apologize. I didn't steal it.
Okay.
In the end, only the parents apologized.
That mother was really something,
she thought it would be okay if she just apologized.
It's hopeless. That kind of parent.
About Wataru,
what do you think he feels about Hikari?
What do you mean?
Don't boys bully the girls they like?
So...
You mean he bullied her because he liked her?
I don't really understand either.
Love is complicated.
Even for elementary school students.
What?
The little boy I liked before
He always liked to bully the most popular girl in the class.
But I envied her.
I wish he would come and bully me too.
Will Hikari be like that too?
Hikari.
She likes Wataru.
What did you say?
She told me before.
I don't think so.
Behavioral deterioration?
Yes.
Like hugging.
She likes milk more than food.
She can't dress herself or blowdry her hair.
And she wets the bed.
Wets the bed?
Yes.
I think her behavior has deteriorated too much.
She's degenerated into a toddler?
It's very common in remarried families.
Kids want to behave themselves.
That's why it's good to spoil her more now.
Let her feel that she will be forgiven no matter what she does.
Someone will always be on her side.
She might be feeling that this motherly love
is going to end soon.
Is there something better I can do for her?
It's okay. Just be her mother.
Just be her mother...
Come on, open your mouth.
Come on. And this way.
Have a good trip.
Be careful on the road!
My wish is to go to Waseda University.
You're lying. Are your grades that good?
Because I was taught well by Dai-chan.
He's the best tutor in the world.
That's it. Look.
It looks so easy, but it's really hard.
Do you have to put your arm through?
Yes, yes.
What are you looking at?
This is a video of your father's first job as an undertaker.
Koharu, look.
This one, this one, this is dad.
This is someone else's funeral, right?
Dad doesn't even feel anything anymore
He's been attending funerals every day.
Koharu.
If you become a monster,
I won't be afraid of monsters anymore.
What are you talking about? It's weird.
Everyone in the world
is paralyzed by their own position.
Even if they resist at first,
but after a long time,
they don't feel the pain anymore.
Dad, would you like some beer? Yes.
Sorry to trouble you, Dai-chan.
Just let Koharu get it.
It's okay.
You can use your chopsticks to pick up the food.
Wow, you're so wild.
Hikari!
Eat with chopsticks.
Hikari!
I won't eat it then.
Here you go, Dad. Thank you.
Dad
I want to talk to you about Hikari.
Her behavior has deteriorated too much.
Behaviorally degenerated?
She's spoiled and rebellious.
What should I do?
What did Dai-chan say?
He said this is a common thing in remarried families
Don't worry about it.
Then it's okay.
Even a doctor like Dai-chan said that.
What is it?
I don't know anything about Hikari.
For example, the things she likes,
what color,
I don't even know what she hates.
I should have known her better.
Parents are not like that
Look at me.
I don't know much about you either.
But even so...
I'm still your father.
There must be healthier food here.
Have you been doing your best to get pregnant?
You want to have a child of your own, right?
Hikari is my child too.
How are you and Hikari getting along?
Yes, very well.
I see.
I,
don't want you to become a failure like me.
As for me,
he hates me.
In this high class nursing home,
with such a beautiful natural environment.
They have the best services,
and there's even an indoor swimming pool
But none of this is what I want.
He's just throwing me into a golden cage.
That's not true.
And I don't blame him.
I'm just sorry for him.
When he was in elementary school, Daigo was bullied.
He changed schools several times.
But...
No matter where I went, someone was always being bullied.
One day, Daigo cried out to me.
He said that his mom wouldn't help him with anything.
I thought he was too annoying.
I accidentally slapped him in the face.
After that, he became almost deaf in his left ear.
You must be good.
Be a loving mother.
Don't do that.
This pen costs a million dollars.
How can you have so much money?
Liar have their tongue cut off by Lord Yen after they die
My father is friends with Lord Yen. I'll be fine.
Huh...
How's the repair?
Yes.
There's something like this stuffed in here.
I think someone accidentally dropped a pencil bag into the toilet.
Kurume, what are you doing?
I'm studying with Wataru.
Can I join you?
If Wataru agrees, it's fine with me.
You can't wear those shoes today.
Wear these.
I don't want them.
I said no, it hurts. I'm counting on you, Hikari.
You're going to break them. Let go of them.
Hikari, let go. Don't do that.
You're going to tear the shoes.
Stop. Take off my shoes.
It's a bit rude to wear red shoes, isn't it?
That's right. Hikari's mother is so rude.
It's a funeral. I can't believe it.
Koharu!
How could you let her wear red shoes?
She won't listen to me and insists on wearing these.
If she doesn't listen to me, you should teach her well.
You're her mother.
Okay, I get it.
This is a courtesy.
People will think that Hikari is not educated.
I said I know.
You think I don't understand?
Koharu. What?
The dry cleaning label
It's already melted.
Did you say goodbye to her properly?
She'll be watching over you in heaven from now on.
She was always getting in my way.
In the way?
That's why it was game over for her
Don't eat my stuff, okay?
She said that as a girl she's interested in cosmetics.
Can't you forgive her for that little thing?
Cosmetics are expensive.
So what if they're expensive?
Why not just buy more when they're gone?
That's not the problem.
Hikari is...
She's probably a bad kid.
What do you mean by that?
You say that
as if Hikari did something bad.
Be careful on the road.
It's cold today. Don't catch a cold.
How much does it add up to?
Hikari
How was the lunch box?
It was delicious
Is the rice ball with dried plums also delicious?
It's delicious!
That's the best dried plums the professor gave me.
It's good, right?
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry, it's probably just a small cold.
I'm sorry to call you so suddenly.
For the sake of my beloved child,
I'd be willing to go to through fires and oceans
That's what a parent is.
That's very nice of your husband.
You're so lucky.
I envy you.
I don't think I'll ever meet someone like that.
What do you mean?
My husband is cheating on me
I'm going to divorce him
Obviously, the twins are due in the next month.
I don't know what I'll be like after that
I'm not thinking about what I'll be like.
Don't you even think about the children's feelings and their future?
You're so selfish.
Divorce like this?
As a mother, you're so irresponsible, aren't you?
Why am I being blamed by you?
You're not with your little one, are you?
Yes, why?
I'm afraid of the exams.
He said that scores determine everything.
He said that the college I'm considering as a candidate...
It's a crap school.
He said that I'm a worthless scum with a score of less than 65.
I might as well give him back the time he spent tutoring me.
I really wanted to go to college in the first place.
But the more I talked to him,
the more I set my goals higher.
I can't do it anymore.
I'm not that smart
I'm so scared.
What do I do?
I don't know.
That's your problem.
How about you, sister?
How are you doing?
What do you mean?
Nevermind,
you must be fine.
Hello?
Ahh, it's broken!
What are you going to do?
Isn't this dad's baby?
I'm sure dad will be angry now.
You're the one who broke the rabbit.
I'm going to tell daddy.
You broke the rabbit!
I'm going to tell daddy.
You broke the rabbit
I'm going to tell daddy
I'm gonna tell Daddy.
You broke the rabbit... Shut up!
It hurts. It hurts.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Hikari. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. It's my mother's fault.
Hikari, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Please, I'm begging you.
Don't tell Dad, okay?
Please
Okay.
I won't tell Dad.
I just heard.
You broke the rabbit's ear.
It was an accident. I don't blame you.
It's just a specimen.
I'm sorry.
But beating Hikari is not an accident, right?
Koharu.
Do you really love Hikari?
Do you still think she's someone else's child?
No, that's not true. You don't realize it yet.
You totally don't realize
You're Hikari's mother, right?
How could you do that?
How could you hit your own precious daughter?
Forget about the meat.
Put down your chopsticks!
Is meat more important than your daughter?
You're unbelievable!
Do you only have food on your mind?
I can't believe it.
This feels terrible, damn it!
No...I...
It's up to the mother to decide whether her child's future is good or bad.
Do you know this saying?
This is what Napoleon Bonaparte said.
You put your heart and soul
and the way you raise her.
These are the things that will determine the future of Hikari.
You don't deserve to be a mother.
You are not worthy to be her mother.
Please leave this house.
But... There are no buts.
I didn't know you were like this.
Mama, don't go. Mama, don't go.
Don't go.
Please, mommy.
I won't be your mother.
Don't go.
Please mommy
Don't go...mommy
I don't want to be that kind of mother.
Don't go.
Mama, don't go.
Mom?
I'm sorry, Hikari.
No, don't go, mommy.
Mom, don't go!
Is Grandpa okay?
I'm so jealous!
I wish someone could take care of me like this.
Thank you. Why do I have to take care of you?
Because you're my daughter, and you should take care of me.
My nursing fee is very expensive.
Why are you charging me?
I don't want to.
Don't!
No! No!
This is not...
Let me teach you how to push!
It's scary! Help!
Mom, I'm scared.
What are you doing? Stop it!
Let's go.
I don't deserve to be a mother.
We're a family now.
Do you really want to be my mother?
I want to help you.
I want to be happy with Dai-chan and Hikari.
Thanks to Koharu, I was able to survive.
If someone else had been standing there at that time.
I probably would have died.
Dai-chan.
Let's go home.
Let's sing together.
Let's hold hands together, little ducky.
What's wrong?
Attention all students and teachers.
I am Izumizawa Daigo, father of Izumizawa Hikari.
I'm Hikari's mother, Koharu.
I'm very sorry to tell you.
My daughter's shoes have been stolen.
Who is it?
Who are they?
What's going on?
Who is the culprit? Please raise your hand
If you come forward honestly, we won't be angry.
What? What are you talking about?
We're in the middle of a class. I'm troubled by what you're doing.
And please behave yourself.
Respect? Someone has committed a crime.
Mr. Izumizawa!
What are you doing?
I'm looking for the culprit who stole my daughter's shoes.
If you want to give yourself up...
- If you want to confess, it's better to confess earlier. - Wait, Izumi-san.
Let's calm down for a while, okay?
You're the one who's making the noise, aren't you?
Anyway, let's go to the office and talk, okay?
Why do you want to go there?
We'd like to ask you about the situation.
My daughter said that her shoes were stolen at school.
Then it's normal to think that the culprit was at school.
The term "culprit" might be a bit...
Am I wrong?
Even so,
it's not normal to say something like that on the school radio all of a sudden.
It doesn't make sense, does it? It doesn't?
Your students are committing crimes and you're still singing,
that's even more unconscionable.
If we don't do this,
the teachers won't do anything in the end.
You won't take it seriously either.
A crime is a crime. It's not about age.
You can't just dismiss it.
Teacher.
It was Hikari who pushed Kurumi down
I saw it, when she was doing it
I really saw it.
I'm not lying.
Kurumi's death was not an accident.
She was pushed to her death by Hikari.
Is that true?
It's true.
I'm not lying, Hikari pushed her.
It was Hikari who killed her!
I saw it, I really saw it!
How could my daughter do such a thing?
She was always getting in my way.
That's why it was game over for her
They're so stupid.
Talking to idiots is exhausting.
Yeah,
totally.
So...
We don't need to confirm with Hikari anymore, right?
I hate you guys.
Why are you asking me if I pushed her?
You think I did it?
We don't think so
We believe you
It's because you don't believe me that you say that
It's obvious that Wataru lied.
We know. He lied.
He's an unbelievable liar.
I don't want to go to school anymore.
No, you're still going to school. Let me go.
It's pointless.
Only idiots go to school. Why should I go?
You're right. That's what Dad thought before.
But other people don't think that way.
If you don't go to school, you'll be treated like trash in society.
Mom doesn't want them to think that way about Hikari.
So does dad.
Let's make some new friends, okay?
Yeah, yeah, let's make new friends.
They're all stupid anyway.
But friends are friends after all.
Isn't it fun to play with those idiots?
I hate everyone. I don't want to go to school.
If only you hadn't given birth to me.
I wouldn't have gotten in the way of your business, right?
That's not possible!
You're wrong to say it's not possible.
You must have thought of that.
And then you're going to think
that you don't need me at all,
I'll never be happy anyway.
Why do you say that?
Then make me happy!
See, you can't do anything.
You can't do anything. Stop it.
I don't need a mother, I don't need a father.
Dai-chan!
Hikari likes her father and mother so much.
Dai-chan, why?
Aren't these your treasures?
I can't believe I said they were my treasures
I only want Hikari.
We still have a future.
What else can we do?
Murderer, Lunatic, Hypocritical Family
It's okay.
Hikari is a good girl.
I know that.
But...
What are we going to do?
God only gives us those challenges that we can overcome.
It doesn't matter what God does.
That's right.
I vowed to make Dai-chan and Hikari happy.
But I can't seem to do it.
I'm so useless.
What else can we do?
What else can we do...what else...
New influenza vaccination notice
Insulin injection
For Hikari
Hikari didn't kill anyone. We all know that.
Who can answer this question?
I
Hikari,
What is the answer?
I think it's 36
That's right
That's expected of you, Hikari.
So, do you know this next question?
I've taught you before.
Think fast.
I got it. The answer is 78.
That's right.
You're so smart, that's our Hikari
So, let's move on to science class.
Can we have a language class?
Okay, let's go to language class.
Please take out your language book.
Look, I have my language book with me.
You're so smart, that's our Hikari
There's a poem here that I like very much.
Then, can you recite it to us?
Sure.
Even if I open my arms, I can't fly.
Although a bird can fly, it can't outrun me.
Although I can move my body, I can't make a good sound.
Although the bell can make a beautiful sound
But it doesn't know as many songs as I do
The bell, the bird, and me
We are all different, but each has its own merits.
That's a great poem!
That's our Hikari!
I am me, dad is dad, mom is mom.
Everyone is great.
Thank you.
That's our Hikari!
In every girl's heart, there's an inexplicable fear.
Will I ever be happy?
