Akira: "nanda"? why did you bring me to this kind of place?
Yukata: i hope you can answer me truthfully
Akira: what is it?
Yukata: i cannot be satisfied
Akira: therefore, what is it?
Yukata: you and Fujitani is already cohabiting, so why did you go back to your wife? "kachou", i don't understand you at all
Akira: there are many circumstances in a marriage, which an outsider cannot see
Yukata: "kachou", you are totally confused
Akira: um
Yukata: last night, i met your wife at Shinjuku. she said she was very lonely. why did you have an affair? i wish to know your feelings. "kachou", she wanted to forget you. if you do this to your wife, will Fujitani be happy?
Akira: for these troubles you have gone through, i'm sorry. now i am leaving
Yukata: just like that?
Akira: i cannot let you have Fujitani
Yukata: i cannot trust you! you are too filthy! why have an affair when you are married?�
Akira: you never married, you won't understand! this has nothing to do with you
Yukata: what did you say?
Yukata punches him
Akira: "ano" "baka"
but as he gets up, the entire shelf falls on him
ambulance races off
Mahiro goes to office, exchanges greetings with a colleague
Yuma: "onechan"!
Yuma: Goto-san was knocked down by a shelf.
Mahiro: Goto-san?
Yuma: right now, he is being sent to the hospital
Yuma: "kachou" is now contacting his family members
kachou: does anyone know how to contact his family members?
Yuma: it seems his wife works at a publisher
kachou: which one?
Yuma: "onechan", which one?�
Mahiro: Kyou Shimbun
kachou: call them immediately
Mahiro stares blankly at her big boss.
kachou: what are you doing? hurry! Fujitani!
Mahiro: "hai"!
taxi drops Chikako in front of the hospital
Chikako (to nurse): excuse me, may i know where is Goto-san, who was just brought in?
nurse: there, bed 507�
Chikako: "sumimasen"
2 men exit from the room as Chikako rushes in
man: excuse me, may i ask if you are Goto-san's wife?
Chikako: yes i am. how is my husband?
Mahiro still looking at the notepaper with the Red Shimbun number
Yuma (to client): "arigato gozaimashita"
she looks at her sister
Chikako: Momotaro
Momotaro has a head bandage and a wrist bandage.
Akira: Chikako
Chikako: "dajoubu"?
Akira: ah... but, what's happened?
Chikako: you can't recall? a shelf fell on you at work.
Akira: shelf?
Akira tries to get up, but the pain is too much
Chikako: don't move, your head was hurt
Akira: head?
Chikako: i will sleep here tonight. you need to have someone here to look after you
Akira: "so ka"?
Akira holds her hand automatically, unlike the other night when she had to beg him to
Akira: "gomen ne". but is it ok with your work?
Chikako: um
Akira: "so ka"?
Akira: oh yes! we have to feed Ki (the cat)
Chikako: eh?
=====> for sure it's amnesia now, cos the cat left the apartment some time back
Akira: sorry, please help me feed Ki when you get home.
Mahiro's office phone rings and she answers it. looking for Goto-san
Mahiro: unfortunately, Goto-san had to leave the office early today
Mahiro: yes, so sorry about it
she looks at her watch and gets up to go. Yukata catches up on her
Yukata: Fujitani
Yukata: i have something to tell you
Mahiro: "nani"?
Yukata: umm-
Mahiro: manager! how is Goto-san's condition?
manager: um. seems ok. but because he suffered a head injury, he has to be kept under observation for 3 days. "daijoubu". don't worry. and he has a very capable wife beside him
Fuji gets the papers from the Fujitani mailbox. she feels someone is watching the house, and turns around to look. no one is there.
Mahiro returns to Akira's bachelor pad, alone again, naturally
she is packing a bag, sees his wedding band in a drawer, and stops
wife holds her husband's hand, her ring on, his of course off. Chikako recalls the doctor's advice
doctor: he may have amnesia
Chikako: amnesia? but he's forgotten everything! he can't remember how the accident happened, or that the cat had gone missing.
doctor: yes, from the moment of his head injury, the memory loss will go back a few weeks, or even months.
she smiles at that thought
Akira's keitai rings. she picks it up
Mahiro: "moshi moshi"
Chikako hangs up immediately.
Mahiro redials, but it's no use. she has turned off the phone.
answering service: this is NNT. the number you have just dialed is not receiving-
Mahiro hangs up
Chikako goes out of the hospital room, and bumps into Yukata with fruit basket
Yukata: sorry about last night
Chikako: "iie". i should be the one
Yukata: ah. is "kachou" better?
Yukata: i was the one who had beaten him up, so i am come to apologise
Chikako: ah, "so"?
Chikako: right now, he's asleep. when he wakes up, i will tell him
Yukata: "hontou", "sumimasen" "mashita"
Yukata: "ano"...
Chikako: "arigato"
Yukata: eh?
Chikako: my husband has returned
Mahiro's keitai rings. she runs to pick it up (hoping it would be Akira, of course)
Mahiro: "hai"!
Yuma: "moshi moshi"? "atashi"-
Mahiro: ah... Yuma
Yuma: poor "kachou". do you have any news?
Mahiro: no
Yuma: "ne"! let's visit him tomorrow
Mahiro: but tomorrow his wife may be there.
Yuma: "so ka"
Yuma: well, cheer up! i'm sure there will be news
Mahiro: ummm
Yuma: ah, "so", mother says that while Goto-san is in the hospital, to come home for dinner. "ne"? "onechan"?
Mahiro: um! "waka ta", "arigato". bye! till tomorrow
Yuma: "jaa ne"
Shinya just had his bath, the wife and his mom-in-law are busy with housework. the doorbell rings
the women look at each other in surprise.
Shinya: who could it be, this late at night?
both women get up (====> fearing it will be that strange young man, eh?)
Yayako: mother, i will get it
man's voice: delivery!
Yayako opens the door.
man: "ohayo!" "konbanwa". please sign here
Yayako: "hai"
she signs for the parcel
man: "hai" "sumimasen" "arigato gozaimasu"
Yayako: "otsukare sama"
as she was about to close the door, she sees the young man outside the gate. he runs off when he saw that he was spotted.
Yayako locks the door, puts the parcel down and climbs up the stairs
Yuma: mum, can i use the bath now?
Yayako: "chotto"
she leads her daughter back into the room.
Yuma: "nani", "doushita no"?
Yayako: what did that man say to you?
Yuma: which man?
Fuji follows Yayako upstairs and listens to the conversation
Yayako: that man who came to our house and asked you for directions
Yuma: oh. that was nothing
Yayako: give it some thought
Yuma: ummm. ah! he seems to be the same age as i
Yayako: anything else?
Yuma: i can't remember anything else
Yuma: "doushita no"?
Yayako: ummm. it's nothing
Fuji sneaks back down, as Yuma goes out and down for her bath
Mahiro sewing something, and pricks her hand
Mahiro: ouch!
she writes a get well card
she attaches the chime on her gift.
Chikako: you didn't sleep, is that ok?
Akira: um. i'm fine. the headache is gradually fading
Chikako: but you still can't recall
Akira: don't worry. i can remember all the important stuff
Akira: august 10th
Chikako: that's my birthday
Akira: june 5th
Chikako: our wedding anniversary
Akira: for the remaining 25 years, 53,000 000 yen
Chikako: that's our apartment mortgage
Akira: any other important matters?
Chikako gets a little worried here
Akira: ah! the first time we met was at the rowing boat team welcome meet, on the way home.
Chikako: um
Akira: Chika-san, you were wearing a white blouse and pink skirt
Chikako: ummm. beige skirt
Akira: must be amnesia
Chikako: at night, the sakura was very pretty
Akira: ummmm
Chikako: "ne". when spring comes, let's go and enjoy the sakura
Akira: "so da na"
Chikako: then, can we not divorce after all?
Akira: what nonsense are you talking about?
Chikako is relieved
Chikako: Momotaro, "zutto" "issho ni"
he nods in agreement, then looks at his hand in surprise
Akira: eh? where's my ring? where did i put it? very strange
Mahiro: amnesia?
Mahiro holds Yukata back
Mahiro: amnesia? what does it mean?
Yukata: oh. it's just partial
flashback to last night's visit to the hospital
Chikako: Fujitani's affair seems to be completely forgotten
Mahiro: cannot remember?
Yukata: as well as me hitting him
Mahiro: you hit him?�
Mahiro: "doushite"?
Yukata: i can't stand it anymore
Yukata: everyone is suffering because of "kachou"
Mahiro: everyone?
Yukata: when i say everyone, i mean everyone
Mahiro goes to the hospital. Chikako sees her at the reception
Mahiro: excuse me, can you tell me which bed is Goto Akira-san, who was brought in yesterday?
man: Goto Akira-san?
Mahiro: eh
Chikako: Fujitani-san!
Mahiro gives her Akira's medical insurance card
Chikako: thanks for bringing it
Mahiro: how is his condition?
Chikako: "genki", and he's eating well. over here, he's very bored, and wishes to be discharged early
Mahiro: may i visit him?
Chikako: yes
Chikako: although you can, but it's better if you don't see him, because he cannot recall anything about you
Mahiro: eh?
Chikako: he can remember other matters - about the company, the cat, and i. but memories that are stressful or bad have been completely erased. as for pain, frustration and hurt, they might have already been exorcised. who he has destroyed in his mind, no one knows for sure. it could be me, or it could be you.
Chikako: that apartment used by my husband, i will pay the rent.�
Mahiro: how did it come to this?
Chikako: because there's a possibility he may recovered his memory, or maybe never. no one can say
Mahiro: i will wait for him
Chikako gives up on this tough lady
Chikako: he has torn up the divorce papers. don't worry, i had asked Akira about it. i asked him if he wanted to be with me forever. he only asked why i had asked him such a question! he smiled as he embraced me.
Chikako: is this enough?
Mahiro: "ano"!
Mahiro gives the flowers to Chikako
nurse sees the flowers
nurse: very pretty, the flowers
Chikako: oh
she dumps them in the nearest basket
Mahiro holds up the get-well gift (with her chime) as she is leaving the hospital
Chikako: sorry i'm late tonight
Akira: oh. sorry to cause you to come here
Chikako: "hai"
she passes him his stuff
Akira: thank you
Chikako: in this state, you still want to buy a travel magazine. you should forget about work for now
the magazine had a kyoto spread
it rang a bell in his head
Chikako: "doushita"?
Akira: "iiya"
Mahiro rings her chime to remind herself of Akira, outside her house. she sees the young man walking up again. when he sees her, he turns and walks off. she runs after him
Mahiro: who are you? what do you want?
man: you're irritating
Mahiro: "ne". "chotto matte". wait!
man: get lost!
something fell from his pocket. she stops to pick it up
it's shinya's photo
she is stunned, just looking at the photo and the man walking away. he turns back, and sees her with his item. he runs back and snatches it from her.
man: give it back
Mahiro: that photo...
man: none of your business! anyway, you won't understand
Mahiro: why? why won't we understand?
man: my mom and i, how we made it through. that feeling of being abandoned
man: because i was an illegitimate child, i was teased and bullied.
man: living in that house, the whole family together, you can never understand this feeling!
Mahiro: i understand!
Mahiro: your feelings, you and your mother's feelings, i understand
after some time of sharing
Mahiro: "so"?
Mahiro: this amulet of protection is your mother's?
man: ah
Mahiro: your mother never married?
man: she did. when i was little, she thought i needed a father. but she divorced. thereafter, she stayed single. because my mother still loves your father. so even though there were other marriage opportunities, ultimately it cannot succeed. she couldn't find happiness with others.
man: after i left home to work, my mother really was lonesome. so i hope your dad will also be as unhappy. that way, he can return to my mom. but i shouldn't have come
man: don't worry, i have decided to go back
dinner is over, clearing up now
Yuma: why isn't big sister home yet? she said she would be home soon
Yayako: could something have happened?
Shinya: tell her to call next time.
Yuma: ah! speaking of phoning! i nearly forgot!
Yayako: don't talk too long on the phone. Mahiro may call
Yuma: "hai"
Yayako: mother, is there anything else?
Fuji: nothing else to do
door opens
Fuji and Yayako: Mahiro!
Mahiro: "otosan"
Shinya: oi! the least you could do is call home first.
Mahiro: come with me for a while
Shinya: follow you to do what?
Mahiro: "onegai", just a while
Shinya: what on earth?
Mahiro: don't ask, quickly.
Yayako and Fuji are just as curious
Yayako: what's it about?
Shinya: what's going on? where are you taking me?
car going down from the Fujitani house
Shinya: oi! where are you going?
Mahiro: there's a person i absolutely hope you will see
Shinya: why must it be at this time to go and see that person?
Mahiro: because it would be too late tomorrow
Shinya: why would it be too late tomorrow?
man is at the bus station
Mahiro: do you remember that kid who came to our house?
Shinya: ah. the one that spoke so strangely
Mahiro: he wasn't talking rubbish. he's your son
Shinya: ah? what are you saying?
Mahiro: his name is Kanda Shinji
Shinya: Kanda?
Mahiro: dad, you were also called Kanda, right?
the truth finally dawns on her dad
Yayako was washing dishes, but she is now just letting the water run
the bus arrives.
Mahiro: he is taking the night express back to Sendai
Mahiro: here, it should be at this bus stop
Mahiro: there! that kid with the red bag
Mahiro: go and meet him just once, before the bus leaves
Shinya: what's going on here? you telling me this so suddenly. how can this be?
Mahiro: "otosan"
Shinya: start the car
Mahiro: don't you want to see him?
Shinya: that's all in the past. what's the point of bringing it up now?
Mahiro took out the protection amulet.
Mahiro: "kore"
he takes it and looks at the long-ago photo of his
Mahiro: it's Shiji's mom's
Mahiro: this is not the past
Mahiro: you are his father!
Mahiro: he came specially just to see you, father
Mahiro: this kid is the product of your relationship with the woman, who has lovingly nurtured him.
Mahiro: i cannot do this, because i miscarried. but, perhaps, i would have become like this. that's why i know how she feels. so i hope you will meet with him just this once and call his name
man is about to board the bus
Mahiro: "saigo" (last) chance!
Shinya finally gets out of the car and runs towards the moving bus
he falls, but gets up and goes on running, and stops the bus as it is slowing down to turn the corner.
Shinya: "sumimasen"! "sumimasen"
the bus door opens to allow him to get on. he looks for his son
Shinya: Shinji!
man gets up, stunned.
Shinya finally gets his wish, to have a drink with his son
Shinya: sorry, there's only this sort of place
Shinya: how do you write 'Shinji'?
Shinji: real as in truth, heal as in cure. one character came from your name
Shinya: "so ka"?
Shinya: how old are you?
Shinji: 20
Shinya: "so ka"?
Shinya: well?
Shinji: are you asking about my mom?
he hesitates awhile
Shinji: eh....
Shinya: she's not well?
Shinji: recently, she had a chance to remarry. the other party is a decent man. she had suffered alot to bring me up. but she rejected it.
Shinya: "doushite"?
Shinji: it seems she often thinks of you. she always says my hands and feet resembles yours. can you let me see?
they do a hand verification (====> not a wise thing to do in the middle of the night and drinking, i'm sure)
Shinya pours his son a drink�as Mahiro waits in the car on the opposite side of the road
then they return home, with the wife and grandma still awake and waiting in silence
Yayako as usual gets up to greet her husband, but he silently walks past, and sits down to smoke
Shinya: i met with the child who came to our house the other day
Yayako: child?
Shinya: he's mine
Yayako looks at Mahiro for confirmation. it's true, cos she didn't say a word
Shinya: from that time
Yayako: how could this happen?
Shinya: until today, i was completely in the dark myself. tomorrow, i want to go to Sendai. i want to see her
Yayako: why are you seeing her?
Shinya: because i saw the child, and heard from him about her situation, i feel that i must go and meet her.
Fuji: i forbid! Shinya-san, i forbid
Shinya: mother, this is my family problem, between my wife and i
Fuji: this is my daughter's matter. is my grandchildren's matter!
Fuji sighs
Fuji: i had thought the matter was completely ended.
Yayako: "okasan"?
Fuji: it happened when Yuma was born. when everyone was at the hospital. i was alone at home, when that person called. she spoke to me joyfully, that she has a child, already 6 months old. when i heard the happiness in her tone, i became very miserly.
Fuji: i planned never to tell you about it. but if the child exists, then i must never let his father know or recognise him. because it would only bring pain to the child in the future.
Fuji: she said, just once is enough, and hopes that Shinya would be able to hold the child
Fuji: she said she is already in the neighbourhood, so i went to see her
Fuji: then i gave her some money and told her to go back
Fuji: she said, "wakarimashite", and then took the money and left
Fuji: that person, she's like that
Fuji: but why now, she's again...
Fuji: Shinya-san, if you do this now, what will happen to this family? Yayako, Mahiro and Yuma?
Shinya: they are all very important to me. all the members of the family are very important.
Shinya: but i never knew she bore me a child! i have a responsibility. if there is still something that i can do, i will do it all.
Fuji: you are too willful!
Yayako: "wakarimashita". if you leave, if you must go, then�please divorce me first!
Shinya stunned
Fuji: Yayako
Mahiro: "okasan"
Yuma (to mother): why did this happen, talking of divorce
Yuma: "okasan", "uso", "deshou" (i hope, i guess)?
Yuma (to father): this isn't for real, right?
Yuma: dad, you only have me and sister, and our brother, who passed away, right? i hope you won't go to Sendai
Yuma (to sister): why did you bring father to see that man? don't you care that the family's in this state? did you not consider how mum may feel?
Mahiro: i have considered it, it's because i thought of her.�
Mahiro: "okasan", "atashi"-
Yuma: "otosan" don't go. don't leave this home
Shinya: Yuma, Yuma. "otosan" "wa"... no matter what, no matter what, i must
Yayako walks out
Fuji: Yayako
she dresses to leave house
Fuji: Yayako!
Mahiro: "okasan"
she leaves
Mahiro: "okasan"
Fuji: Yayako!
Yayako wears her shoes
Mahiro: "okasan"!
Yayako shrugs off her daughter's attempts to hold her back, and leaves
Mahiro realises her estimate of her mom is way off target
Mahiro: "obachan" "wa". was i wrong?
Fuji: actually, you didn't do anything wrong to your mother
Mahiro: will dad really go?
Fuji: that man will surely go
Fuji: it's all because of me
Yayako having a drink in a late night cafe
next morning, Fujitani family at breakfast, minus mother
Mahiro: this is my keitai number. if mum comes back, please call me.
Fuji: um. "waka ta"
Mahiro: "jaa". "itte kimasu"
Fuji: "itte rasshai"
Fuji: Yuma, aren't you going?
Yuma: i took leave
Yayako looking at Yokohama harbour from somewhere
Mahiro at work.
Yukata: Fujitani! "chotto"
she looks at him wonderingly as he drags her off
Mahiro: "nani"?
Yukata: Goto "kachou" has taken a posting in Hongkong
Mahiro: what?
Yukata: the manager just announced it, but it seems that it's not firm yet
cut scene of Akira getting out of hospital
Mahiro is stunned
Akira: don't you want this kind of life?
Mahiro: this is too sudden
Mahiro: i really thought you would bow your head and say, "i beg you, please abort the child". that would be such a great blow to me, i would never recover from. "dakara" (therefore), i was afraid to tell you. "sore" (in addition)...
Akira: let's get married. Mahiro. please marry me!
they embrace, Mahiro's in tears (of joy?)
Akira: "gomen". i may have been too harsh with you
Mahiro shakes her head
Akira: i will leave home
Akira:�i want to be by your side forever
they kiss
he drives her to the train station
Akira: i cannot send you home, "gomen"
Mahiro: there's still time to catch the last train
Akira: i have to pick my wife up from her father's house.
Mahiro: it's alright
Akira: "ja", take care
Mahiro: um
Mahiro: not too long after, we wouldn't have to say 'bye bye' anymore
Akira: ah
Mahiro: "oyasumi nasai" (good night, polite form)
Akira: "oyasumi"
Mahiro runs to the stairs, turns back and waves goodbye to Akira
Akira (yells to her): better hurry, or you'll miss the train
Mahiro: um
Akira loses his smile as she leaves, and he gets into the car
Mahiro is bumped on her way up the stairs. something fell (the sound of bell chime). she stops to check her handbag. yup. the bell from Kyoto has fallen to the ground. she stoops to pick it up, then resumes her climb up. just then, a man rushing down with a heavy suitcase smashes into her abdomen. she is in great pain.
Akira returns home
Akira: "tadaima
Chikako: your meeting ended so late, "otsukare sama" (see "otsukare sama deshita")
Akira: i went to your parents' home. they said you left after a short while.
Chikako: it's too painful to stay long, so i left as soon as i could. my parents were offended that you did not go in to see them. they asked if you detested living with them, and if so, you should be honest and say it out.
remember that Chikako has once brought up the issue of living with her parents
Mahiro is still on the stairs. in great pain
Akira has a stupidifed look. bearer of bad news.
Chikako: Momotaro. did you hear what i said? if you didn't like living together with them, then be honest and say it.
Akira: i cannot live with them
Chikako was saying it in a joking manner, and didn't expect him to tell the truth so bluntly.
Chikako: "yappari". "so"
Akira: we cannot live together anymore
Chikako: anymore? what do you mean?
Akira: Chika. "ore"...
Chikako: "nani"?
Akira: i have fallen in love with another
silence
Mahiro makes her way down the stairs, slowly, and misses a taxi. she is on the ground in pain, but she's got the bell
Mahiro: Goto-san
Akira: Chika. "ore"... i have fallen in love with another
silence, then she laughs
Chikako: hateful! telling such jokes!
Chikako: "waka ta". i was wrong, for not discussing the matter (of in-laws living together) in detail with you. "gomen". i honestly didn't know you hated it so much. we will discuss it again. don't be so upset.
Akira is silent
Chikako: Momotaro
Akira: i'm for real
more silence
Mahiro is trying to get up, at the sight of 2 motorcycles stopping. the bikers ask if she's ok, but she faints
Akira: sorry.�i want to leave this house
phone rings. Akira gets up to answer
Akira: "moshi moshi"
Akira: ah. "hai"
Akira: please wait
Akira: Chika, it's from your company. said it's urgent
Chikako: "hai". "moshi moshi". "ima"? i don't have the document with me now. "chotto matte"
Chikako (to Akira): i have an urgent matter to attend to, it's going to take some time.
Akira: um
Chikako (back to phone): "gomen". i will continue the call in another room
Chikako goes into her study. Akira bows his head
ambulance siren. drowning boy vision. Mahiro's in a hospital bed, having a nightmare. quite creepy, especially when you're all alone. door opens. it's mummy!
Mahiro: "okasan"
Yayako: you're all wet with perspiration
she gets a towel, washes it, then wrings it dry and uses it to mop her daughter's face.
Yayako: i will change another towel
Mahiro: "okasan"
she tries to get up to a sitting position, but sinks back down very quickly
Yayako: are you ok?
Mahiro: how's the baby in my stomach?
Yayako shakes her head
Yayako: stay and rest in the hospital for a while.�
Mahiro: really? why?
Yayako: originally, you were to be discharged tomorrow morning, to recuperate at home. but considering you, because you would cause people to worry (she doesn't want the family to know Mahiro's condition), it is better to stay here for a while.
Yayako looking out the window, exclaims
Yayako: oh! Over there is the hachi ... island. in a short while, there'll be sakura to see.
Yayako closes the blinds
Mahiro: i am really useless. ever since graduating from the university, and working to support the family, i have always been a stubborn person, doing what i will. what a fool i've been! in the end, it's mother who has to deal with the problems.
Yayako: what are you saying? we are mother and daughter.
Mahiro (echos Yayako): mother and daughter.
Mahiro: mother and daughter? what is considered family ties?
*** End of fourth episode ***
Akira's superior: Goto, come and see me in a short while
Akira: "jaa" (yes)
Akira (to Mahiro): so in future, please be more punctual
Mahiro (bowing): "hai"
Akira walks off, but Mahiro catches up with him
Mahiro: "kachou", i've thrown away your travel bag
Akira: what?
Mahiro: all the lockers were taken, and you had left first by yourself
Akira: but you told me to go first-
Mahiro: even so, a person would usually stay
Akira superior: Goto-san
Akira: "hai"
Akira has to go now, so he waves goodbye to Mahiro and runs off
Mahiro: "kachou"!
Akira stops and turns back, she holds up a set of keys and jingles them with a smile on her face. she's just kidding him. those are the locker keys, and she throws it over to him. he catches it with a smile on his face.
Mother is sweeping the garden. scenes of the harbor.
Mahiro: "okasan"
Yayako: Mahiro
Mahiro: "tadaima"
Yayako: it's early, "okaeri nasai"
surprised, her mother continues to sweep the garden
Mahiro: what's wrong?
Yayako: you must be wanting dinner now. "otosan" said he'll be back around 7 o'clock, so let's eat together.
they walk into the house
Mahiro: Yuma wa (where's Yuma)?
Yayako: skiing. she went right after the ceremony (seijin no hi)
Mahiro: "so"(really)?
Mahiro: is monday Yuma's birthday?
Yayako: eh, "obachan" will be coming, so please remember to come home early
Mahiro: i know
Mahiro about to go upstairs and unpack, but thought she had better embellish her lie about staying over at her friend's place, not aware that her mom already know she's out with another
Mahiro: Saki...
Yayako: eh?
Mahiro: Koma Saki
Mahiro: i called yesterday to tell you i was staying over at her place, remember? i haven't seen her for a while now, she's completely changed. a successful person will always change. when we were in high school, we often studied together.
Mother (at least she didn't have to lie regarding this aspect of the past): yes, indeed
Mahiro (big time lying now): she said she missed the night snacks you prepared for us. she said it's been a long time since she's seen you
Yayako: "so"?
Mahiro: i am going to change now.
Mother (going to bring up Saki's call to her): Mahiro, this morning...
Mahiro: "nani"?
Mother (decides not to): nothing, you go and get changed then
Mahiro: um
Mahiro goes up to her room, turns on the radio (====> theme song plays, yeah, like real, right?) as she takes off her coat, she sees a note on her table: 1/15 PM 10:00, Yukata called. turning over the note, there's another: 1/16 AM 9:00 Koma Saki called. now she realises her bluff has been called.
