[All About My Siblings] [The Last Episode: The Departure]
Is this place really going to be sold?
Actually, I went to ask my brothers to give the land certificate back.
I realized how much you care about this house since I started coming here.
But when I saw them, I was told that they already found a buyer.
Who said no one would buy this land?
What are we going to do?
- Asa-nii. - Haru.
First, we should ask them what is going on.
We will sell this property.
Wait a minute, what are you thinking?
That's right. What's going to happen to us?
- It's fine. - It's not fine. Don't decide without us.
Be quiet. I said we will sell it, so that means we will sell it.
Have you gone insane?
This house doesn't belong only to you. We have rights too.
I won't allow you to do that no matter what.
Where are you going?
To work.
Are you really thinking to sell it?
That house is the most precious thing to you, isn't it?
There is a promise that I made with my father.
I see.
I see. That property is...
What do you think, Shinjo-san?
You are selling it to take a step into a new life, right?
Look at them.
That time I lived near your house, I had a dream.
I wanted to be a doctor who is community based...
and treat not only patients' physical pain but their hearts too.
That's what I was thinking.
But now I'm working on unrelated medical duties at a university hospital everyday.
A dream is only an illusion.
That's how I have deceived myself and lived.
But since I've been involved with you, I've recalled how sincere I use to live.
I've decided to start from the beginning.
I will quit working at the university hospital.
What?
A friend of mine from my hometown opened a hospital and asked me to help him.
What? Then are you going back to Aichi?
Thank you very much.
If it's a youngster's privilege to pursue a dream...
it's a middle-aged man's privilege to realize a dream.
I see.
You are setting out, Shinjo-san.
You think now's the time too, right?
Do you know the last line of a poem called 'To the Future' by Tanikawa Shuntaro?
'No one can present you a future because you are the future.'
I'm cheering you up for the last time.
Thank you.
- No one... - No one...
can present you a future
because...
you are... the future.
No one can present you a future...
What is going to happen?
It will be a problem if our house is sold, and also for my theatrical group.
But you are the only member. She hasn't showed up since then.
Even though I am the only one, I will continue.
Acting is all I've got.
Who could it be?
Many comrades fell before fulfilling their aspirations for me.
Many comrades died without realizing their dreams for me.
I love you. I love you so much.
I don't know why I love you this much.
I quit my high school.
- What? - Not because they found out.
I quit voluntarily since it's a missionary school.
Why?
Because I found something I want to do.
My parents agreed to it on the condition that I still go to college.
So I need your help studying for the high school equivalent exam.
What?
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Are you going to forgive me?
She finally smiled at me.
She finally smiled at me, Haru-nii.
Could you give us the land certificate back?
That's not going to happen.
I don't care if the amount of my monthly payment increases.
I beg you.
You are acting like you are the victim.
You are the one who started this. You reap what you sow.
Big brother.
We've already decided on what to use the money that we make by selling the house.
Otherwise we have to sell our family's field.
- Why do you have to go there? - We need a big sum of money.
I have a small debt.
- I see. Then you can sell that fiel-- - So you need a big sum of money, right?
I hope you don't get upset hearing this...
I actually didn't use Yashiro-san's 30 million yen.
I did some research and found out that just because they have the land certificate...
doesn't mean they can close the land sales contract.
- It requires registration of transfer-- - Haru. Haru.
I already told you. We are selling this property.
Why is it so?
Can you think about us at least just a little bit?
I made the decision after giving a lot of thought to it.
This is a good opportunity for us to set out.
Set out? We are just getting kicked out of this place.
He's right. I will have to take college entrance exams soon.
You can live with me.
That's not what we are talking about.
If we are here, we can all help watch Akari-chan too.
Is that why?
Do you feel bad about making us help take care of her?
That's not why.
Then why? You are making this decision all by yourself.
- For us, this house is-- - I want you to be happy.
I want you all to live for the sake of your own happiness.
I've been wondering about this for a long time...
whether we should keep living together for the debt on this house.
'People don't live for money.'
'Sell this house whenever you need money.'
That's what I promised Dad.
Protecting this house shouldn't tie up your hands.
That's not what Dad and Mom want either.
Hikari.
You've worked so hard until now.
Although it was your dream to become a nurse...
You've been earning money to pay our living expenses.
That would never happen in a normal circumstance.
It must have been difficult.
But thanks to you we could live until today.
I really want to thank you.
Why are you saying this?
Haru, I'm grateful to you too.
Seeing you chase your dream was the food for me to keep living.
Your play was amazing.
I wouldn't have been able to experience that excitement in my life.
Thank you so much.
Tadashi.
I was saved by your kindness many times.
You are at the age that you want to do many things.
I'm sorry that you had to restrain yourself.
But I could work feeling assured, thanks to you doing chores without complaint.
Thank you.
Your happiness is my happiness.
So from now on, live for your own sake.
The time to leave this place has come.
Why are you saying such mushy things?
Sato-nii.
Don't think that you are going to sell this place.
I won't let anyone have this land.
Yashiro-san's oldest son called not so long ago.
He says he will wait for a week until he signs the land contract.
You told him that you have Yashiro-san's 30 million yen.
- What? - What?
Wait a second. What does that mean?
I didn't tell you but I have it. The 30 million yen.
Huh?
Originally I was going to use the money Yashiro's mom gave me for someone's operation.
But that person died before the operation.
So I didn't need to use that money.
But you said you became desperate and spent it all.
That's just the 'official' reason.
But I actually hid it in a certain place.
- Huh? What the heck. - Where did you hide it?
Huh?
I'm asking you where you hid the 30 million yen.
I can't tell you.
Then bring it here right now.
All right.
You are such a worrywart, aren't you?
I won't run away with it.
We don't have to sell this house after all.
Right?
What's wrong?
Asa-nii knew about the money.
Then why did he tell us that?
I thought it was around here.
What is your most memorable moment in that house?
Huh? What is this so suddenly?
Mine is the day Dad passed away.
I received the news and told you about it...
You started punching me saying... 'Don't lie.'
I punched you back saying 'I don't believe it either.'
We punched each other in tears.
I forgot.
There are so many happy memories, but I remember that the most.
You don't have... 30 million yen, do you?
If you did, you would have dug it out already.
Oh man, I wasted my energy digging.
But no worries.
I could extend the deadline as I hoped. I can prepare the money in a week.
Satoru. It's really all right.
It's not all right.
That house will be demolished. Can you endure that?
You always said that was a precious house that Dad built.
It's all right now.
You don't have to feel responsible for it.
Since I found out that Yashiro-san didn't bear a grudge against you...
I wanted to do something for you.
I didn't give them the land certificate because I was mad.
I truly wished that someone would buy this house.
I wanted to release you from it.
What is this? I never asked you to do that.
Don't be a hypocrite.
That house is more important to you than anything else.
And because of such a thing...
Don't let it go because of such a thing.
Hey, hey.
Don't you hate me for spending the money on such stupid things?
Then say it.
Why don't you blame me?
Hey, why don't you slap me? Slap me.
Slap me. Slap me.
Do it. Say 'I have to let the house go because of you.'
- Slap me. I beg you... slap me. - Satoru.
Satoru.
Satoru, listen. Listen to me.
It's not your fault.
You've atoned for your crime more than enough.
It's true that it is a precious house that Dad left for us.
But it isn't the only thing he left for us.
It exists in you and me... in all of our hearts.
It is all right. This is how it should be...
I think Asa-nii wanted to save Sato-nii.
Indeed, if he is strained with money like now, he won't be able to get married.
That's the real reason why he is selling this property.
Of course he wants us to start our new lives too.
I guess it's a good opportunity.
Hey, let's race to the pitching mound like we used to do.
What is it? Are you chickening out?
Want to do it? Let's go.
Go.
Let's go eat ramen.
I'll stay here a little longer.
I see.
What I remember the most about that house is...
what happened after we punched each other when Dad died.
You grabbed my shoulders and said while crying...
'I will take Dad's place. So don't worry.'
Your words reassured me the most.
[One month later]
Hey, help me a little, will you?
After it all, I should smile when I say goodbye.
Are you listening to me?
- You're moving out of this house tomorrow. - I've decided.
I will do it.
- Thank you for you hard work. - Thank you very much.
Doctor Shinjo.
Thank you very much for all of your help.
I will leave the rest to you.
Become a good doctor.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
We will have a party tonight. Everyone, come to the Sato Residence.
Everyone? How many people is he inviting?
Can I come too?
If you want.
Why do you say it like that?
Don't you want to introduce me to your family?
- Why do I have to do something so formal? - Okay, break time is over.
Labor is a sign of life. Let's work.
Hey, what are you doing?
Let's get married.
What did you just say?
We will live in the soil. You and me...
In the misty night, he looks at me and...
whispers 'be mine.'
Welcome back.
You two are late.
I bet you were lovey-dovey somewhere nearby.
How did you know?
No, no. No way.
Takako-san, there is a hickey on your neck.
What? What?
I'm coming in.
- Shinjo-san, you are late. - This is for you.
Thank you. Shinjo-san, come in. Come in.
Shinjo-san, your seat is over here.
This is your seat.
It brings back memories.
Hey Hikari, pour beer for him.
That's right.
Back then I played the guitar here and your dad sang this song over there.
You were in junior high at the time, Asahi.
That's right.
The road you are taking is endlessly long.
But why do you clench your teeth and keep going?
I'm glad that you are Asa-nii's wife.
What is this all of a sudden?
Because Asa-nii is simply old-fashioned.
So he is lucky to meet someone who understands that.
When he told me about this song, I thought it was about Asahi-san.
Words like 'hard working' and 'dedication' are considered uncool nowadays.
Even though he struggles and struggles and can't find the answers...
he stays positive.
Looking at him makes me think people are supposed to be like him.
It is after all...
'It needs no reason.'
Shinjo. Shinjo. Yay!
What is everyone going to do now?
Asa-nii will live with his family at an apartment. Sato-nii will live in Takako-san's house.
Big sis' will live at a dorm for nurses. I will live at my friend's place.
His parents own an apartment building and I can rent one of the rooms.
I will live with Haru-nii.
What are you talking about?
You said the other day, 'Asa-nii is a newlywed, so come live with me.'
- What? I did? - Yeah.
- I will think about it. - Ouch.
No, I've already moved my stuff.
What are you talking about?
You two get along so well.
It's a problem that we both like the same type of girls.
I didn't know Shinjo-san could play the guitar.
Yeah.
Your family is nice.
They are?
They are troublesome.
That's why it's nice.
Let's make a family like that.
Yeah.
- You don't have to go home either. - It's okay, it's okay.
- See you tomorrow. - Okay. Be careful.
Hmm?
Let's struggle together even from now on.
Okay. Sure.
Huh?
What would have happened if we didn't meet?
I don't think you would be different.
But not me.
I wouldn't be the same if I didn't meet you.
Although those days were painful and closed, you were my youth.
There is no other reason why I am leaving you now...
but to meet you.
'Yet Those Are Our Days.'
I memorized them after reading it over and over.
Because the book was from you, Shinjo-san.
When I see you again someday, somewhere, I won't turn around.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
It's lit. It's lit.
- I'm home. Huh? - Welcome back.
What happened?
This stupid guy cancelled the power starting the end of today.
I already apologized. It's good that we had candles in the altar.
- That's true. - Here, big sis'.
Thank you. Hmm? Where is Azusa-san?
She said we siblings should spend time alone.
She didn't have to do that.
It's lit.
It's beautiful.
Silent night, holy night...
We have to say goodbye to this house today.
Why are you being sentimental?
Why wouldn't I? We grew up in this house.
Look at the scratch on the pillar.
That's from when Satoru and I beat each other up.
Is it?
This one. This one. This stain on the wall...
It's from the coffee that Hikari spilled when she was late for the nursing school entrance ceremony.
Is it?
The dent on the ceiling... Haru did that.
What? Me?
Haru said 'there's a mouse home there' and was picking at it with a fork.
The doodle over there... that's Tadashi's.
Right, I think he was two.
He was so cute.
The history of this house is our history.
But I think we caused much trouble to our neighbors.
I agree. The walls are thin and Asa-nii's voice is loud.
He has to lecture someone every single morning.
I don't remember how many complaint calls we got.
Well, in other words, the history of this house is the troublesome eldest son's history too.
Hey you guys... because I've been quiet...
Who do you think fed all of you after Dad died?
Here goes the usual speech.
You don't understand if I don't bring it up every time.
You don't understand...
That's why I say it.
Since I was 15...
Do you know... Do you know how hard I've--
Do you know how hard I've worked since I was 15?
After Dad died, in order to feed you, I quit high school...
and kept working at a road construction company.
Thank you for your hard work.
The reason why Hikari could graduate from nursing school...
and Haru could enter college...
is because I worked my guts out.
You know there is an intersection where Inogashira street and Itsukaichi-kaido meet?
It's me who did the paving work there.
In other words, I built this country's foundation.
Because I create roads, all of you can move forward without hesitation.
Asa-nii.
Thank you.
If there is something you want to say, say it.
I'm sure our neighbors wouldn't mind today.
Thank you.
Our family might look distorted to other people.
There is me who had a shotgun wedding...
- an ex-convict... - Hey.
someone who had an affair...
- a NEET... - NEET?
- and a stalker. - 'Stalker' is exaggerated.
But I'm proud of you all.
Starting tomorrow, each of us will walk on own path.
But you are not alone.
We laughed together.
We cried together.
The time we accumulated in this house speaks the truth.
Anywhere we go, we are family.
A family that is inseparable.
That needs no reason.
It needs no reason.
Damn, I was so determined not to cry tonight. Damn.
You cry too much, stupid.
Shut up, stupid.
What's wrong with crying when I want to cry?
That's what a human being is supposed to do.
You cry too much.
[Sato]
Let's go.
See you soon.
See you.
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye-bye.
No one can present you a future...
because you are the future.
[The End]
