00:01What? Then... Sayu is going home?
00:04Yeah, it's hard to believe. I know they say it can all end in an instant, but wow.
00:09It's so sudden, I'm not even sure that's the right word.
00:12Know what? This whole turn of events is good for you both. She'll be on her way to getting her life back on track, which is what you wanted.
00:21Or judging from your sour expression, maybe not.
00:26Something that I suspected was confirmed the other day.
00:29Sayu's home life is kind of a mess, and her mother keeps it that way.
00:34That's a real shame.
00:37Wait, what about her older brother? From what you've told us, it sounds like he's at least on her side.
00:41He appears to be.
00:43In which case, the ball's completely in his court. Sayu's troubles stem from family drama, so an outsider has no place getting involved.
00:50I know.
00:59Huh?
01:04Huh?
01:05Oh...
01:06Oh...
01:11First of all, I should apologize for the impolite things I said upon initially meeting you. Seems I was out of line.
01:23was out of line oh um i didn't take offense and there's really no need to bow you're far too kind
01:28i hope saiyu knows how blessed she was to encounter a respectable individual like you
01:39don't you think you're exaggerating well why did you go out of your way and do everything
01:45you did at the risk of your own arrest that's um hard to say oh
01:50i was wasted when i first met her it was the weekend and i was attempting to wash away the
01:58pain of being rejected by my crush of five years and on the way home i found this worn out teenager
02:04slouched under a street lamp oh yeah i've asked myself the same question you just did for months
02:11now i think i finally have an honest answer i helped her out because i couldn't say no not to
02:18that face i'm sorry not exactly a good answer i believe it's just fine though you warned it would
02:28be honest it's almost too much so but i like it
02:31i'm curious did saiyu go into any details about our mother with you not really no perhaps i should
02:43have you heard of the food manufacturing company called ogiwara foods by chance
02:48i have as evidenced by our surname our father was its president
02:52huh if only he'd shown his family the same dedication as his business
02:57but his affinity for affairs proved too great by the time our mother was pregnant with saiyu
03:02he had already moved on he was so done with her he pushed for an abortion
03:05needless to say she refused our mother had convinced herself that the key to making him stay
03:12was giving birth to their second child but nothing changed our father still left us for another
03:17woman it was quite the difficult pill for her to swallow her husband no longer loved her and the
03:23proof of that unfortunate fact was of course saiyu in mother's eyes at least my sister told you how
03:28that affected things yes a bit saiyu was blissfully unaware as a child always happy a comparatively
03:36normal and energetic little girl the only issue was her own mother didn't have the slightest shred
03:41of love for her when saiyu was old enough to realize that her smiles became few and far between
03:48children need their parents but more specifically their love
03:53in that sense mr goshita you were more of a parent to saiyu than our mother ever was
03:59in fact you were the very first parental figure in her life
04:02for that i owe you my thanks thank you for caring so much about saiyu
04:10no need to bow nothing i did was that special
04:14you have a few more days together i hope you'll be there for her through them all
04:18sure that i can do
04:21what did my brother say a couple of things but he definitely made apologizing his top priority
04:30tonight that's good oh and um he really loves his little sister as far as i can tell
04:36yeah i was silly to think otherwise
04:39you and isa i've caused both of you a number of problems just by being here
04:46the worst part is i know it but i'm still so afraid to go home to hokkaido
04:51oh well i have to go back whether i want to or not and when i do i'll be ready
04:59that day's coming but until it actually gets here
05:04you'll let me stay and enjoy life with the best roomie ever right
05:07of course
05:09man we ran way late today
05:13if i miss my movie i'm gonna be so ticked
05:16here good to go
05:17appreciate you staying late to dot the i's and cross the t's yoshida
05:22it was no trouble this involves our project too so it's fine
05:25still nice to know i can rely on you
05:27next time you need a business trip substitute
05:29i'm your guy
05:31i made you this uh recipes it'd be a travesty for you to go back to your diet of convenience
05:40store junk so hopefully you'll use this to cook once in a while
05:43wow this is awesome sayu they're in order of your personal favorites starting with most
05:49liked that way you'd be more likely to use them
05:51smart and very thoughtful
05:53i have my moments
05:55i say we get out of the office and grab a bite to eat
06:01you read my mind
06:02can it be a fancy restaurant
06:04there's a thought
06:05you want to take a lunch break
06:07um sorry but i can't
06:10i'm not at a good stopping point so i'm gonna have to pass today
06:15too bad
06:16lay off the caffeine and get some rest okay
06:24i'm taking smoke breaks if those count
06:27no as a matter of fact they do not
06:29thanks for the meal
06:40hey yoshida
06:41there's some place i'd like to take you if you're up for it
06:44right now it's a little late are you sure
06:47it isn't worth going when it's not late at night
06:50i had no clue this place existed in the big city
06:56right my mind was equally blown the first time asumi took me here
07:00it's that beautiful
07:01she also blew my mind with what she said that night
07:06what did she say
07:07compared to stars humans are smaller than specks of dust
07:11but despite her insignificance we have our own pasts and futures and those are why we matter
07:17when all of that clicked i started crying but i felt kind of safe so it was okay
07:22why did you feel safe
07:24well
07:25because of asumi
07:27she didn't reject me after hearing my awful past
07:30she told me i was strong
07:33did she now
07:34i think another reason i got emotional was because i finally forgave myself
07:39and accepted my reality
07:41i ran all the way from hokkaido to tokyo
07:46that's a part of my past that will stay with me for as long as i live
07:50however many years that might be
07:53true
07:54no matter what it won't ever disappear
07:57it's a scar
07:58but it's mine
08:00my scar's not completely ugly though
08:08there's a silver lining
08:11the path i traveled as a runaway
08:13led me to you
08:14if the two of us hadn't met that night
08:17instead of facing my mistakes i would have just kept making more
08:21until i wound up in a place i couldn't come back from
08:24everything got better pretty much as soon as we met
08:30which is why i'd like to stay in tokyo with you forever
08:33being together just makes me happy
08:38the thought of leaving gets harder by the day
08:41much harder
08:44so when you left the apartment this week
08:46i made a bunch of failed attempts to leave before you got back
08:49hey i said failed attempts
08:52i'm here right now
08:55because it's exactly where i want to be
08:58but sadly
09:04we can't always have the things we want
09:07i can't stay here with you
09:09if i do i'll never come to terms with my past
09:12it'll keep haunting me
09:14and i'll keep avoiding it
09:16but the more we avoid these things
09:19the more they just keep resurfacing
09:22until we learn
09:23sayo
09:25before i go i'm taking some proof
09:35taking proof?
09:37that's right
09:37our encounter is proof some good came from me leaving hokkaido
09:42and i want that life-changing goodness to shine through everything
09:46from the way i speak to the way i act
09:48so anybody can see it
09:50once i know it shines through
09:54i'll feel confident i can live on my own
09:57i see
09:58meeting you
10:03meeting you made all of the pain worth it
10:06and if these memories are all that i gained i know that's more than enough
10:13that's what i'm taking back
10:15that's what i'm taking back
10:16will you
10:20will you
10:22be there
10:24and cheer me on
10:26yeah
10:38i've been doing that from the start
10:45so tomorrow's the big day isn't it?
10:47sayu's leaving the nest
10:49or returning
10:51that girl will be missed
10:53you never even met sayu hashimoto
10:55jeez you are dumb
10:56she'll be missed by you
11:01anyway
11:03make sure you clock out at seven so you can go home and enjoy the time you have left
11:07your phone has a map feature
11:10just follow her
11:11wha?
11:12did that honestly not cross your mind?
11:14it's a cliche that happens all the time in movie plots
11:17look this isn't some kind of movie
11:19since i'm not family it would just be weird
11:21news flash for you
11:22this has been weird from the get-go but welcome to the club
11:25but if i go what do i do about work?
11:28contrary to popular belief our company won't collapse because one person leaves
11:32well back me up here
11:34uh... she has a point
11:37and everything's going smooth as butter right now
11:39so...
11:40you hear that?
11:45here's the thing
11:46she wants to sort this mess out on her own without my help
11:49getting involved isn't the movie worthy plot line you think it is
11:53i wonder which is worse helping out and regretting it
11:56or not helping out and regretting that
11:58that
11:59yoshida
12:00in your heart of hearts do you feel she should face the demons of her past alone?
12:04well... um...
12:05her? now?
12:20hello?
12:22hey! do you know where saiyu went?
12:24what do you mean?
12:27i can't find her anywhere and she won't answer her phone
12:30huh?
12:31i'm scoping out a few more places but if you hear from her call me
12:34huh?
12:35sure
12:36the number you are trying to reach is either out of range or turned off at this time
12:44please hang out
12:45there's no way
12:46what's wrong?
12:47saiyu disappeared somehow
12:48what?
12:49then why aren't you heading for the door?
12:55fine
12:56i'm not feeling well so i'm heading out early
12:59oh and yoshida caught the same bug but i'll make sure we both get home
13:04then stay safe
13:05i'll sure try
13:07you heard the boss
13:09pack it up and let's get going
13:10Hashimoto
13:11this thing's due by EOD
13:13excuse me
13:14can anyone here handle yoshida's workload for today?
13:17me?
13:18i'd be happy to pick up his slack
13:20employee of the month over here
13:22you can leave with a clear conscience now so let's go
13:26on my way
13:34if i'd spoken my thoughts out loud when you first said you'd taken in a teenage girl
13:38this would be my i told you so moment because somehow i just knew this would happen
13:42wanna elaborate on what you just knew?
13:45she'd occupy more and more brain cells till she was all you could think about
13:49well you thought wrong
13:50like hell i did
13:51as an eyewitness i can attest she's the only thing on your mind lately
13:55seeing you this way pisses me off
14:04seeing me what way?
14:06pretending something you care about doesn't matter and playing the aloof card when it's on the line
14:10you know exactly how much it means to you too
14:13seriously drives me up the freakin wall
14:19you look like you wanted to bolt out of the room after that call
14:22so what made you say that shit about meeting your deadline?
14:25be decisive and figure out what you cherish before it's too late
14:30i can tell you're scared half to death of say you going back to her broken home
14:34what if i am?
14:35good i'm glad you admit it
14:38now you need to admit you're just as afraid of being separated from her
14:42no! all i've ever wanted for her is to be a happy carefree teen
14:46you're telling me she'll be a happy carefree teen huh?
14:49in a home bad enough to make her run away?
14:52your answer is written all over your face
14:55you're an open book
14:58not to mention my best friend
15:03as Mishima says your threads of fate are tangled or whatever
15:06if you're worried go with her you'll just feel that constant tug
15:09you're forgetting i have a job to do
15:12and you're forgetting what's important at times like this
15:14your assignments will be there when you get back
15:16no! being that irresponsible goes against every instinct i have
15:20the entire project depends on me
15:22oh that's funny because i could have sworn there was a run away from Hokkaido that depends on you
15:28isn't it more irresponsible to send say you to the wolves with a pat on the back?
15:32especially if she's also hiding her feelings and actually wants your help?
15:35your job and your roommate both have their pros and cons
15:39you just have to put your big boy pants on and decide which one is more significant
15:47so think it through and make your choice
15:49i won't say another word on the subject
15:54Gotol's calling
15:57Yoshida speaking
16:00WHAT?!
16:01Sayu! what in the world? what were you thinking huh?

16:16when i came out there she was patiently waiting to walk you home
16:20so adorable
16:22why wasn't i told about this walk home sooner?
16:25oh my gosh have you like never heard of a surprise yoshi dude?
