What is it?
Summer breaks are awful.
What?
Summer Breaks Are Awful.
Do you think "he" is still alive?
["Him"]
It's hot.
Well, of course he'll be alive.
But it's been two weeks since I've seen him in person at school.
This is why summer breaks are awful.
I wonder if this separation will continue, and my love be vanquished?
Vanquished or no, it hasn't even begun.
You're right.
Hello, this is Kawashima.
Isn't this Matzuri's?
No, it isn't.
Sorry, I must have called the wrong number.
Did someone call the wrong number?
Apparently so.
What is it?
You know, what do you think of that just now?
What?
Should I try calling Yuzuhiko as well?
What are you going to say?
Well, I'm going to pretend to have called the wrong number.
Pretend?
That's right.
Hello.
Yes, this is the Tachibana residence.
Sorry, I called the wrong number.
I'll record the call
and listen to it every day for the rest of the summer.
Yes, this is the Tachibana residence.
Good morning, Yuzuhiko.
Yes, this is the Tachibana residence.
Thank you for the food, Yuzuhiko.
Yes, this is the Tachibana residence.
Good night, Yuzuhiko.
How awesome would it be to live that way?
But that'd be a prank call.
Ready? Here goes.
What?
I forgot something important.
What is the probability that Yuzuhiko will take the call?
Well...
There's his mother, father, and sister, so 1/4?
1/4.
But the father will have gone to work right now, so that should bring it down to 1/3.
So it's 1/3.
Then please dial.
Alright, here goes.
1/3.
Wait.
What is it this time?
Do you mind if we make a script first?
A script?
Yeah.
Strange.
What is it?
There have been these single rings on the phone.
Twice in a row.
Is it one-ring spam?
One-ring spam?
Calls that disconnect after the first ring.
If you get curious and call back, you get bombed with a huge phone bill that month.
What is that?
I'm going to have to say a word or two if they do it again.
Don't get worked up over it.
Just leave it.
No. I have a very strong sense of justice.
Hello.
I'm sorry about the sudden question, but is this Pressi Cleaning?
Hows that?
Isn't it better to leave out the apology?
Is that right?
Doesn't it sound nice and well-mannered?
But calling the wrong number is usually a mistake.
Starting a call with an apology is a bit odd.
I see.
Mother, I guess it's stopped.
Perhaps it has.
Hello.
What? They've hung up again.
I'm so angry!
Uh, if you hang up like that, what's the point of the script?
But I felt so nervous about having to speak.
This is no good.
Sorry, Yamashita.
Do you want a recording of Yuzuhiko's voice that much?
Yes.
Then do you want me to call him?
You don't have to go to all this effort, and we can just record his voice.
Will you do that for me?
Yeah.
Make an anonymous call.
Yes, alright.
Ready?
I should have done this from the start.
Here goes.
1-8-0...
Hello, this is the Tachibana residence.
What's going on?
Uh...
Who is this?
This had better not be a prank call!
I called the wrong number.
Didn't she seem angry?
She was.
I wonder why?
Is it because we kept calling and hanging up straight away?
Oh no, the mother might hate us.
It's alright, we made the call anonymously, so she won't know it was you.
By the way, did you record that just now?
I did.
Hello, this is the Tachibana residence.
What's going on?
Who is this?
This had better not be a prank call!
Do you need the mother's voice?
I wonder what kind of a person Yuzuhiko's mother is, though.
Just from the voice, it does seem that she is quite different from the image we have of Yuzuhiko.
They won't be doing that anymore.
Probably.
That's good.
(singing) Red rose of passion.
(singing) And...
[Convenience Store B] Don't be too upset.
She'll never know it was you that made the call.
But now I might never be able to call Yuzuhiko again.
There's no need to think that.
My summer will just end this way, I have no doubt.
Then what should we do?
Do you want to call again, and at least hear his voice?
But...
It's alright, his mother should have gone grocery shopping since it's evening.
There's a public phone booth.
What should we do?
We've written a script; should we try just one more time?
[Hello, could this be...]
Go on.
But...
It's fine.
Still...
Hurry.
What if the mother...
- Hurry. - What do I do.
It'll be fine.
