Was this the room?
Yes.
N° 819.
Come with me to the baths.
I'll leave your towel here.
OK.
Is this your son's?
Sorry?
What?
This red cap.
Yes, why?
No doubt about it, it's his.
- Hello? - Mr. Sano ? It's Iwai, the publisher.
Oh, yes, hello.
Last month, you posed for our magazine.
Nagi did the photos, for a dossier on Hakata.
Well, she still hasn't sent us the photos
and she can't be reached.
I have qualms about going through you to contact your wife
but I'm in a bind
and I was hoping you could ask her about it.
I see.
The photos...
Yes, would you mind asking Nagi?
Yes?
Sorry for the wait.
Excuse me, but I'm looking for a cap.
- Did you misplace it? - Yes.
What does it look like?
- It's a red cap. - OK.
- Here it is. - Allow me.
Thank you very much.
A red cap, then.
When did you lose it?
The morning of August 19, 2018.
Pardon?
In 2018?
Yes.
5 years ago, when I came here.
Of course, I understand.
Where exactly did you lose it?
I'm not sure.
Alright.
Give me a few moments, I'll check.
Hello!
An!
- Is tomorrow your last day? - Yes.
We'll all be separated.
It's sad.
Thanks for waiting.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find it.
But...
- Did you look hard? - Pardon?
Yes, I assure you.
I'm really sorry.
Did you sleep?
I couldn't.
You should come to the seminar.
It would help you.

And the water never stays the same.
On the surface of pools,
Bubbles burst, then reform,
Never lingering.

Look.
The hotel closes at the end of the month.
It says so.
It's closing in a few days.
There'll just be this piece of paper.
But...
What?
Shit...
Sir!
Are you OK?
Can you hear me?
Sano! Call for help and an ambulance!
He was in cardiac arrest,
so I gave him CPR by AED.
- Are you a doctor? - Emergency room nurse.
I see. Thank you.
For the family's contact, please ask the hotel staff.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
What's the patient's name?
It's crazy.
It's got to be my ring.
This is the second time I've saved someone.
The old man won't make it.
Why's that?
You can tell by his breathing.
Just now, you said he'd be fine.
I wasn't going to tell him otherwise.
But when you have to die, you die.
Despite my help,
he won't escape his fate.
What?
Hey, this place...
It's closed.
I remember! Is this the big spoon restaurant?
Nagi and you, you were always criticizing.
Right?
The red thing.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure that's it.
What?
Do explain.
What are you doing?
Wait.
What's up?
Stop.
Are you crazy?
Wait!
This sucks!
Sano!
Don't you have a picture of the cap?
But...
It's Nagi...
You should drop it.
It's pointless.
It's been 5 years. You won't find her.
Right now, you're giving off bad energy.
You're too materialistic, a slave to things and time.
There is another world, free of this alienation.
There's not just one reality.
Sorry, excuse me.
My friend and I have very good eyes.
- So we noticed it. - What?
We have the same one.
- Amazing! - Yes.
- Isn't it? - I can't believe it.
- It's thanks to her. - I spotted you right away.
It was obvious.
- I'm glad! - Me too.
Here you are.
I can't believe we recognized each other.
- We have the same aura. - Exactly.
That's really it.
The seminar changed everything for me.
I so understand!
I used to be very negative.
I think I was giving off bad energy.
But when I agreed to receive the messages,
everything changed.
- I do boxing. - Do you?
Great!
Since I've been getting messages, I've been winning.
I anticipate the moves.
It's crazy.
It's amazing.
What about you, Sano?
- Are you an SHF too? - Pardon?
Super Happy Forever.
That's the name of our seminar.
That's what it's called?
Seriously?
I understand.
I was like you too.
Between us, Sano,
have you ever received messages?
From another planet?
No, not at all.
Of synchronicity.
Like coincidences.
I don't know.
Maybe when I met Nagi.
Nagi is my wife.
What happened?
Well,
there was a teenage girl dozing in an armchair,
holding her cellphone.
And as she slept, her cellphone kept slipping.
- Stop it, Sano. - So...
She almost dropped it several times,
but each time, she caught it.
And in the end, it slipped through her fingers.
I couldn't help screaming,
and I heard a woman's voice screaming too.
Nagi and I were the only two
who saw this girl drop her cellphone.
And this teenager
caught her cellphone just before it hit the ground.
It was crazy.
Nagi and I looked at each other. We couldn't believe it.
That was 5 years ago.
- Is she your wife now? - Yes.
- Amazing! - It's crazy.
It's great.
But the other day, she died.
In her sleep.
Who wants a beer?
I'm fine, thanks.
But...
- You loved her, didn't you? - Sorry?
If you were,
your wife must have been very happy.
Stop it, Sano.
Frankly, you're very rude.
I'm joking, but I'm not laughing at you.
Nagi wasn't happy.
I was very cowardly...
and selfish.
Where's he going?
- He's going to sing, isn't he? - I don't know.
Is he?
I've never heard him sing.
If you feel bad, let me know, I'll stop.
Thank you.
You see the pier which is near your hotel?
That's where it appears.
What are you talking about?
The ghost.
Some nights, at this time,
a ghostly woman looks out at the sea from the pier.
Then she disappears.
What?
Hey, stop kicking.
Can you stop, sir?
Stop it, Sano.
Sir!
Stop, I'm telling you.
- Get out. - Sorry, we're going.
- Get out. - Sorry.
Come on.
Shit.
Go buy me some water and cigarettes.
What? Cigarettes?
High light Menthols.
You smoke?
Seriously...
- What's the brand again? - High light Menthol.
You're a pain.
What are you playing at?
You're getting on my nerves.
You got ripped off...
with your shitty seminar.
You line up clichés
and you think you're superior.
Like those two dumb bitches.
Stop it, calm down.
Drop it.
You're a pain.
A real pain.
Get off me.
I'm going to throw up.
Come here.
You're heavy!
You're a pain.
Come over here a bit more.
You really weigh a ton.
Ouch.
Shut up.
I've had enough.
Don't turn your back on me.
Why?
Because...
Nagi was sleeping like that when she died.
Does Nagi still believe she's sleeping?
Miyata...
Miyata!
Have you seen my ring?
I threw it away.
Keep in touch.
- Hello? - Reception.
- Is this Miss Nagi Sano? - Yes.
Miss Niiyama is on the line. May I put her through?
- Yes, please. - Thank you very much.
- Hello, Nagi. - Eri! Where are you?
Lose your cellphone again?
Yes, sorry. I left it at home.
- Put it around your neck! - Yeah.
Where are you now?
My grandmother fainted this morning.
I'm about to go to the hospital.
I don't think I can meet you at the hotel.
Maybe it's better if we cancel the last 2 nights?
Yes, you're right.
I'm really sorry.
Keep me posted, OK?
What time suits you?
Is 4 o'clock OK?
Yes, that's fine.
- I'll give you my number. - Yes.
Hold on.
- OK. - So... 090...
Excuse me.
- Do you have a local map? - Yes.
- You're welcome. - Thank you very much.
Have a nice walk.
Hey, man!
You have to sign.
Everything OK?
Yes, fine.
- Is that your lunch? - Yes.
Thank you very much.
I bought it on the train, but I didn't eat it.
- May I? - Yes.
Thanks. I like it a lot.
Where are you from?
I live here.
Really?
I'm Vietnamese.
- I've been to Hanoi. - Have you?
Where I was born...
- Ho Chi Minh. - Oh, I know it.
Vietnam, sad.
Vietnam, over there?
Over there?
Oh, no.
There!
Oh, there!
So, Hawaii's that way!
When I can't sleep,
I go there and look at the sea.
It's nice.
Travel?
- Travel? - Ah, travel! Yes, I do.
Very well-known here, is taking the boat.
Sounds fun.
Lots of couples.
Lots of couples!
Alright.
Impressive, the girl with the cellphone.
Yes, it was.
- Are you by yourself? - Yes.
I was supposed to come with a friend I'm doing a fanzine with.
It's a magazine with text and illustrations.
- Do you see? - Pretty much.
But she couldn't come at the last minute.
- Oh, dear. - Right.
- My name is Sano. - No way!
My name's Sano too!
Nagi Sano!
That's crazy!
It's a pretty common name.
Yes, it is.
But even so!
- That's a first. - Same here.
- What's up? - This is Miyata.
- Hi. - Nice to meet you.
In the beginning, the hot springs were in the sea.
Then they migrated inland, the sea cooled,
and humans were able to bathe and live healthy lives.
Hence the name Atami, "the warm sea".
- Miyata, what do you do for a living? - I'm a nurse.
But in my spare time, I write novels.
That's why you know this kind of story!
Maybe, but writing is just a hobby.
He works in recycling and restoration.
You want to open a restaurant, right?
Since I can't make a living from photography, I also have a job.
What kind of job?
- I work in a thrift shop. - Where?
I live in Fukuoka. But I went to university in Tokyo.
You come from far away. We live in Tokyo.
- That's weird. - What?
Didn't I order a poke bowl? Because it has no taste.
I must admit I thought the same thing...
1,800 yen for this?
Mine's really good.
Best I've ever eaten.
You made the right choice.
Taste mine.
Seriously? I'll take it from his bowl.
Go ahead, enjoy!
You must be kidding, it looks great.
I love it!
It's not that...
It's not bad, it's just tasteless.
It isn't!
And the spoon is weird.
Yes, it is!
It's too big, hard to eat with.
- Stop criticizing. - But it's true.
It pulls at the sides of the mouth, it's not practical.
- You've got a small spoon. - Is it?
Oh, yeah, how come?
The big one's special poke.
Sorry for the wait.
- Go on, tell her. - You tell her.
- Please, stand here. - Thank you.
- Sano wanted... - Miyata has something to t
