00:00:05When I canceled the condo, the realtor stared at me.
00:00:11You've already paid the $45,000 down payment.
00:00:15Aren't you waiting for your fiancé to come back and sign with you?
00:00:18No.
00:00:19He's busy taking his first love shopping near Mount Fuji.
00:00:22For five years, every winter, Ryan Hale went to Japan.
00:00:26He called it business.
00:00:28But the photos he posted were always of Fuji's snow-covered peak.
00:00:32Whenever I asked when he would take me there for our honeymoon, he said, next time.
00:00:36Then yesterday, in an old camera he'd left at home, I found dozens of pictures.
00:00:41The same woman, the same angles, the same background.
00:00:44Cherry blossoms, white snow, Mount Fuji.
00:00:47The only trip he had ever taken with me was to the next city over to look at this condo.
00:00:51Maya, we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:00:53We just need a real life together.
00:00:56I believed him.
00:00:57When it was time to sign the cancellation papers, I looked at the condo I had decorated myself and suddenly
00:01:02broke down.
00:01:03I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
00:01:06Do you still want to cancel?
00:01:09Yes.
00:01:09My resignation had already been approved.
00:01:12This was my last night in the city.
00:01:14Mount Fuji would never come to me.
00:01:17But I could walk away.
00:01:22Maya, did you really cancel it?
00:01:24I did.
00:01:26The down payment was $45,000.
00:01:28You just canceled it by yourself?
00:01:30Yes.
00:01:31Does Ryan know?
00:01:32He's in Japan.
00:01:33For work?
00:01:34I didn't answer.
00:01:35Did you tell him?
00:01:37No.
00:01:38Maya, even if you're fighting, the condo isn't something you can just...
00:01:41I found dozens of photos in his old camera.
00:01:43Same woman.
00:01:44Same mountain.
00:01:45Five years.
00:01:46Hannah Pierce?
00:01:47Yes.
00:01:48Are you sure it's not a misunderstanding?
00:01:51What kind of business trip involves photographing the same woman in the same place for five winters?
00:01:55Claire stopped talking.
00:02:02On the way, Ryan sent me a text.
00:02:04A photo.
00:02:04Hot chocolate in a white ceramic cup.
00:02:06A little deer was painted on the side.
00:02:08Caption.
00:02:09It's snowing in Tokyo.
00:02:10Freezing.
00:02:11I recognize that cup.
00:02:13He had sent me almost the same photo last winter.
00:02:15Same angle.
00:02:16Same composition.
00:02:17Back then, I asked him which cafe it was.
00:02:19He said he'd wandered in at random and couldn't remember.
00:02:22But there was another photo in the old camera.
00:02:24A scarf I'd never seen.
00:02:26Five years.
00:02:26Every winter.
00:02:28The same cafe.
00:02:29The same cup of hot chocolate.
00:02:31The same woman.
00:02:32And what he sent me was always food and scenery.
00:02:36Never the person beside him.
00:02:42Size five.
00:02:43I wore a seven.
00:02:45Rye, wear this pair next time.
00:02:47The last ones rubbed your heels.
00:02:49Rye.
00:02:49Five years together.
00:02:51And I had never known he had a nickname.
00:02:53He had never let me call him that.
00:03:00The note field read, Hannah's birthday gift.
00:03:03Hannah's birthday was February 15th.
00:03:06Mine was March 9th.
00:03:08Last March 9th, I asked Ryan if he could have dinner with me.
00:03:11He said he had a business dinner.
00:03:12I waited until 11 that night before he texted.
00:03:15Just got home.
00:03:16You asleep?
00:03:16Happy birthday.
00:03:17I'll make it up to you.
00:03:18Make it up.
00:03:19Just like next time.
00:03:20Neither ever came true.
00:03:233,000 photos on his backup phone.
00:03:2511 of me.
00:03:267 were from the first year we dated.
00:03:28In the next four years, there were four.
00:03:30There was a folder called Tokyo Snow.
00:03:32Every shot was beautifully framed.
00:03:34Softened by light.
00:03:34Like a magazine spread.
00:03:36When he took pictures of me, he always tapped the shutter once and handed the phone back.
00:03:40No angle.
00:03:40No light.
00:03:41No care.
00:03:42Can you try to take one where I look nice?
00:03:45It's just a photo.
00:03:46Good enough.
00:03:47Good enough.
00:03:48Those two words were what he gave me most.
00:03:51Did you eat?
00:03:53Yes.
00:03:54I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
00:03:55Flight lands at 3.
00:03:56Okay.
00:03:57Your voice sounds off.
00:03:59I'm tired.
00:04:00Sleep early.
00:04:02Rye, the car's here.
00:04:04Coming.
00:04:05Hannah's calling me.
00:04:06I have to go.
00:04:06Why is she at your hotel?
00:04:07She's staying next door.
00:04:08We're just going out to eat.
00:04:09Every year?
00:04:10Our schedules happen to overlap.
00:04:11Don't overthink it.
00:04:12He smiled naturally, as if explaining something that did not need an explanation.
00:04:15Oh, I got you a fridge magnet.
00:04:16Took forever to pick one.
00:04:20Five years of love.
00:04:21Every souvenir I had ever received from Japan.
00:04:23Hannah got hot spring hotels, kimono experiences, birthday surprises, and a nickname only she could use.
00:04:30Cute, right?
00:04:31Hannah helped me pick it.
00:04:32Even the gift he bought for me had her fingerprints on it.
00:04:35I typed, what did you bring Hannah?
00:04:37I replied with one word.
00:04:39Nice.
00:04:44Your fridge magnet.
00:04:48What's that?
00:04:49For Hannah.
00:04:50A scarf.
00:04:50She said she liked the patterns in Tokyo.
00:04:52Last winter, I told him I wanted a cashmere scarf.
00:04:56He said, why buy another scarf?
00:04:58Don't you already have several?
00:05:00But the several in my closet were all ones I had bought myself.
00:05:03You bought her a scarf?
00:05:05She asked.
00:05:06It was on the way.
00:05:07I'm dead tired.
00:05:08Four hour flight.
00:05:10When are you taking me to Japan?
00:05:12Why bring that up all of a sudden?
00:05:14It's not sudden.
00:05:15I've been asking for five years.
00:05:17When this busy stretch is over.
00:05:18Next time, I promise.
00:05:20Next time.
00:05:21The 17th next time.
00:05:23I said nothing more.
00:05:28Maya, is Ryan back, isn't he?
00:05:30He is, Mrs. Hale.
00:05:31You two need to hurry with the wedding.
00:05:33People keep asking me about invitations.
00:05:35We're still preparing.
00:05:37Hannah came by last week and helped me choose candy favors.
00:05:40She picked four flavors.
00:05:41See what you think.
00:05:42Hannah helped you choose them?
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:44She said you were busy with work and came over on her own.
00:05:47Such a thoughtful girl.
00:05:49Mrs. Hale, you can tell me about wedding details.
00:05:51You don't need to trouble her.
00:05:52Trouble?
00:05:53She comes over all the time.
00:05:54Three or four times a month.
00:05:56More often than you.
00:05:57In our second year together, I suggested visiting his mother every week.
00:06:01Ryan said, no need to go that often.
00:06:03My mom doesn't like the house too lively.
00:06:06So I changed it to once a month.
00:06:08Later, he said, you're busy.
00:06:10Once every two months is fine.
00:06:12So it wasn't that his mother disliked visitors.
00:06:14She disliked me visiting.
00:06:16Hannah came three or four times a month.
00:06:18And no one found her annoying.
00:06:20Mrs. Hale, I'll handle the favors.
00:06:21All right.
00:06:22But the ones Hannah picked are really good.
00:06:24Use them as a reference.
00:06:27You asked Hannah to help your mother choose our wedding candy?
00:06:30She wanted to go herself.
00:06:32And you knew?
00:06:33Of course.
00:06:34My mom told me.
00:06:35Why didn't you tell me?
00:06:37What was there to say?
00:06:39She was just helping.
00:06:40Why is she helping with our wedding?
00:06:42Weren't you busy?
00:06:44When did I ever say that?
00:06:46You work late every day.
00:06:48I figured you didn't have time.
00:06:50Did you ask me?
00:06:52Fine, fine.
00:06:53From now on, you can do everything yourself.
00:06:55Satisfied?
00:06:58The impatience had arrived.
00:07:00It was always like this.
00:07:02First, don't overthink it.
00:07:04Then, what is there to say?
00:07:07Finally, fine.
00:07:08You're right about everything.
00:07:12Nothing was ever solved.
00:07:20Hannah's pot roast tastes just like mine.
00:07:24Hannah looked more at home in that kitchen than I ever had.
00:07:27She knew where the plates were, which drawer held the spices, what Mrs. Hale liked to eat.
00:07:32In five years, every time I visited, I had to ask.
00:07:35Because I went too rarely.
00:07:37Because Ryan said I didn't need to go often.
00:07:40Maya, let me be honest.
00:07:41I watched Hannah grow up.
00:07:43She and Ryan know each other inside out.
00:07:45You're a good girl, but you aren't very good at taking care of people.
00:07:49You should learn from Hannah.
00:07:52Why aren't you eating?
00:07:55I'm not hungry.
00:08:02What's that?
00:08:03Oh, this.
00:08:05Hannah's birthday gift.
00:08:06A necklace.
00:08:09Ryan's R.
00:08:12Custom made.
00:08:13Took two months.
00:08:15Our engagement ring had been bought online.
00:08:17When it arrived, he opened the package and slid it directly onto my finger.
00:08:22I wanted to choose one in a store.
00:08:24Rings are all the same.
00:08:26No need to make a trip.
00:08:28You had a necklace custom made for her?
00:08:31It's her birthday.
00:08:33Just something small.
00:08:35What did you give me on my birthday?
00:08:38Last year, I think I sent you money.
00:08:43You didn't.
00:08:46Then I forgot.
00:08:47I'll make it up next time.
00:08:50Next time.
00:08:52Always next time.
00:08:55Ryan, do you think what we have is normal?
00:08:59Why wouldn't it be?
00:09:00You custom order Hannah a necklace and buy me a fridge magnet.
00:09:05You celebrate her birthday and forget mine.
00:09:08You let her go to your mother's house while I don't even get the chance.
00:09:12Do you think that's normal?
00:09:17You're doing this again.
00:09:19Hannah and I grew up together.
00:09:20What's wrong with me being nice to her?
00:09:23What about me?
00:09:25Am I not good to you?
00:09:27We've dated for five years, bought a condo, and we're getting married.
00:09:31Isn't that enough?
00:09:32Maya, we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:09:34A steady life matters more than anything.
00:09:37All that flashy stuff.
00:09:39Hot spring hotels were flashy.
00:09:41Custom necklaces were flashy.
00:09:44Birthday surprises were flashy.
00:09:46He gave all the flashy things to Hannah.
00:09:48What he left me was a steady life.
00:09:52You're right.
00:09:56Let's live steadily.
00:10:01The next day, Ryan's college friend Owen texted me.
00:10:04Maya, we're having a get-together Saturday.
00:10:06Are you coming?
00:10:07What get-together?
00:10:09Old classmates.
00:10:10Hannah will be there too.
00:10:11Hannah would be there too.
00:10:13Of course.
00:10:17The necklace Ryan had made.
00:10:19On her.
00:10:21Rye!
00:10:22Maya's here!
00:10:23Don't call her that like she's already family.
00:10:25They're not married yet.
00:10:27Set a date?
00:10:29We're still looking.
00:10:30Hannah's helped a lot, right?
00:10:31Your mom said she runs over all the time.
00:10:33She's just helpful.
00:10:34I'm only helping a little.
00:10:35Maya's so busy.
00:10:36She called me by name with such warmth.
00:10:38But my fiancé's custom necklace was sitting at her throat.
00:10:40Hannah, that's a gorgeous necklace.
00:10:42Who gave it to you?
00:10:44A friend.
00:10:45What kind of friend is that generous?
00:10:48It's custom, isn't it?
00:10:49I gave it to her.
00:10:50Birthday gift.
00:10:51I bought it casually.
00:10:53Casually.
00:10:54Two months for a custom order.
00:10:56And he called it casual.
00:10:57You bought one for your fiancé too, right?
00:11:00Maya doesn't like wearing things like that.
00:11:01It wasn't that I didn't like them.
00:11:03He had never bought me any.
00:11:05So he assumed I didn't like them.
00:11:06You don't mind, do you, Maya?
00:11:08No.
00:11:08You're so generous.
00:11:10Halfway through dinner, Owen started making trouble.
00:11:12Come on, let's test how well you know each other.
00:11:14Ryan, what's your fiancé's favorite flower?
00:11:16Roses?
00:11:17No.
00:11:18Lisianthus.
00:11:18Her birthday?
00:11:19March 9th?
00:11:20He got it right only after a pause.
00:11:22What is she most afraid of?
00:11:23She isn't afraid of anything.
00:11:24Maya's brave.
00:11:25I was afraid of the dark.
00:11:27I told him that our first year together.
00:11:28He had forgotten.
00:11:29Terrible.
00:11:30Hannah, your turn.
00:11:32What's Ryan's favorite coffee?
00:11:33Americano.
00:11:34Light sugar.
00:11:35Warm.
00:11:36What is he most afraid of?
00:11:37Thunder.
00:11:38When he was little, lightning hit a tree in his yard and he cried.
00:11:42His catchphrase?
00:11:43Good enough.
00:11:45Hannah knows Ryan better than his fiancé.
00:11:48We've known each other ten years.
00:11:49Ten years.
00:11:50She had known him ten.
00:11:51I had known him five.
00:11:52She knew he was afraid of thunder.
00:11:54I didn't.
00:11:55It wasn't that I didn't want to know him.
00:11:57He had never told me.
00:11:58With me, every answer was whatever, anything, nothing worth telling.
00:12:02With Hannah, he lit up like a different person.
00:12:08Maya.
00:12:10I want to say something.
00:12:11Don't take it the wrong way.
00:12:13Say it?
00:12:14Rye can be careless, but he's not a bad man.
00:12:17Don't be too hard on him.
00:12:19I'm not.
00:12:20He told me you've been emotional lately, always getting upset over things about me.
00:12:25He had told Hannah about the problems between us.
00:12:28Maya, I'll be blunt.
00:12:30If you can't give him even this much trust, then what's the point of marrying him?
00:12:36He goes to Japan with you every year.
00:12:38What exactly am I supposed to trust?
00:12:40Those are business trips.
00:12:43Business trips don't happen in the same place every year, at the same hotel, photographing the same woman.
00:12:49Maya.
00:12:50Rye and I are friends.
00:12:52If you insist on imagining something else, that's your problem.
00:12:57By the way, for the living room wall in your condo, I suggested warm gray.
00:13:02Rye thinks it looks better than the cream white you chose.
00:13:06The living room wall.
00:13:07I had chosen cream white and watched the workers paint it twice.
00:13:11Ryan had not gone there once, but he had let Hannah give opinions, and he liked hers better than mine.
00:13:21What took so long?
00:13:23Washing my hands.
00:13:25Let's go.
00:13:26We'll drop Hannah off.
00:13:28Can't she go by herself?
00:13:30It's on the way.
00:13:33Hannah lived on the east side.
00:13:35We lived on the west side.
00:13:38On what planet was that on the way?
00:13:41You take her.
00:13:43I'll get a cab.
00:13:44Don't make a scene.
00:13:45Come on.
00:13:50Rye, remember this song?
00:13:52It played in that izakaya in Tokyo last year.
00:13:55I remember.
00:13:56You even sang along.
00:13:58In the back seat, I was an extra passenger.
00:14:04Maya, rest early.
00:14:06Rye, don't forget that thing next week.
00:14:08I know.
00:14:15What thing?
00:14:16Helping her move a cabinet.
00:14:18She can hire movers.
00:14:20Why waste money on that?
00:14:23Last year, I asked him to move one box of books for me.
00:14:27He said his back hurt and told me to hire movers.
00:14:31For Hannah's cabinet, he would go himself.
00:14:35Ryan, do you ever feel like you're better to Hannah than you are to me?
00:14:41She grew up with me.
00:14:43Being good to her is a habit.
00:14:45But you're the one I'm marrying.
00:14:46But you're the one I'm marrying.
00:14:47Isn't that enough?
00:14:49Enough.
00:14:54Ryan, can you stay home today?
00:14:56What's wrong?
00:14:57I want you to spend the day with me.
00:14:59Sure.
00:15:00I don't have plans anyway.
00:15:02Really?
00:15:02Really.
00:15:03What do you want to do?
00:15:04Nothing.
00:15:04Just stay home.
00:15:05Okay.
00:15:07Ryan.
00:15:08Hmm?
00:15:08Do you love me?
00:15:10Why ask that all of a sudden?
00:15:12I want to hear you say it once.
00:15:14I'm marrying you.
00:15:15What do you think?
00:15:16Marriage and love aren't the same thing.
00:15:18What's going on with you today?
00:15:20I just want to hear you say it.
00:15:21Maya, of course I-
00:15:24It's Hannah.
00:15:25Don't answer.
00:15:25Let me see.
00:15:26She says a pipe burst at her place.
00:15:28Water everywhere.
00:15:28She can call building maintenance.
00:15:30It's the weekend.
00:15:31Maintenance is off.
00:15:32Then she can call a plumber.
00:15:33By the time a plumber gets there, her apartment will be flooded.
00:15:36I'll go take a look.
00:15:37I'll be back soon.
00:15:37Ryan, you promised you wouldn't go out today.
00:15:41I know, but this is urgent.
00:15:43You always say that.
00:15:45A pipe burst.
00:15:46I can't just ignore it.
00:15:48What about me?
00:15:50What about you?
00:15:52You're fine.
00:15:53I was fine.
00:15:54He always thought I was fine.
00:15:57Hannah's burst pipe was urgent.
00:15:59My broken heart was not.
00:16:01In our first year together, when he confessed, he said,
00:16:04Maya, I want to spend my life with you.
00:16:06That day, he took me to a little Western restaurant place and said we would come back every anniversary.
00:16:13He forgot the second year anniversary.
00:16:15In the third year, I reminded him and he said,
00:16:17It's just a bowl of noodles.
00:16:18Another day is the same.
00:16:19In the fourth and fifth years, I stopped mentioning it.
00:16:22He never remembered again.
00:16:24Go.
00:16:25One hour, tops.
00:16:27I'll come back and be with you.
00:16:29Don't be mad.
00:16:32One hour passed.
00:16:34Then two.
00:16:36Then three.
00:16:39Almost done.
00:16:40The pipe's fixed, but there's water everywhere.
00:16:42I'm helping her mop.
00:16:43When are you coming back?
00:16:44Soon.
00:16:47Another hour passed.
00:16:50He texted.
00:16:51Hannah says thank you for letting me come.
00:16:53She's treating me to lunch.
00:16:54I'll head back after.
00:16:56I didn't reply.
00:16:58Then he sent.
00:16:59Eat first.
00:17:00Don't wait for me.
00:17:03I had asked whether he loved me.
00:17:05He never finished the sentence.
00:17:07Because Hannah's phone call mattered more than my question.
00:17:10I didn't actually own much in this home.
00:17:12One suitcase for clothes.
00:17:14Half a suitcase for books and small things.
00:17:15On the bathroom counter, I had only a toothbrush and a bottle of cleanser.
00:17:19Hannah had more here than I did.
00:17:21Canvas shoes.
00:17:22A jacket.
00:17:23A mug.
00:17:24A tube of lipstick.
00:17:26Ryan, I canceled the condo.
00:17:29I'm returning the ring.
00:17:31I'm returning the five fridge magnets, too.
00:17:34Find someone else for the honeymoon.
00:17:37Hers.
00:17:38All of it.
00:17:38This home was full of Ryan and Hannah.
00:17:42My whole life here fit into two suitcases.
00:17:47Where to?
00:17:49The train station.
00:17:52Three hours later, the train arrived.
00:17:54In this new city, no one waited at the exit.
00:17:58This time, I didn't mind.
00:18:17When I canceled the condo, the realtor stared at me.
00:18:23You've already paid the $45,000 down payment.
00:18:27Aren't you waiting for your fiancé to come back and sign with you?
00:18:30No.
00:18:31He's busy taking his first love shopping near Mount Fuji.
00:18:34For five years, every winter, Ryan Hale went to Japan.
00:18:38He called it business.
00:18:40But the photos he posted were always of Fuji's snow-covered peak.
00:18:44Whenever I asked when he would take me there for our honeymoon, he said, next time.
00:18:48Then yesterday, in an old camera he'd left at home, I found dozens of pictures.
00:18:53The same woman.
00:18:54The same angles.
00:18:55The same background.
00:18:56Cherry blossoms.
00:18:57White snow.
00:18:58Mount Fuji.
00:18:59The only trip he had ever taken with me was to the next city over to look at this condo.
00:19:03Maya, we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:19:05We just need a real life together.
00:19:08I believed him.
00:19:09When it was time to sign the cancellation papers, I looked at the condo I had decorated myself
00:19:14and suddenly broke down.
00:19:15I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
00:19:18Do you still want to cancel?
00:19:21Yes.
00:19:21My resignation had already been approved.
00:19:23This was my last night in the city.
00:19:26Mount Fuji would never come to me.
00:19:29But I could walk away.
00:19:34Maya, did you really cancel it?
00:19:36I did.
00:19:38The down payment was $45,000.
00:19:40You just canceled it by yourself?
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:43Does Ryan know?
00:19:44He's in Japan.
00:19:45For work?
00:19:46I didn't answer.
00:19:47Did you tell him?
00:19:48No.
00:19:49Maya, even if you're fighting, the condo isn't something you can just...
00:19:53I found dozens of photos in his old camera.
00:19:55Same woman.
00:19:56Same mountain.
00:19:57Five years.
00:19:58Hannah Pierce?
00:19:59Yes.
00:20:00Are you sure it's not a misunderstanding?
00:20:03What kind of business trip involves photographing the same woman in the same place for five winters?
00:20:07Claire stopped talking.
00:20:14On the way, Ryan sent me a text.
00:20:16A photo.
00:20:16Hot chocolate in a white ceramic cup.
00:20:18A little deer was painted on the side.
00:20:20Caption.
00:20:21It's snowing in Tokyo.
00:20:22Freezing.
00:20:23I recognized that cup.
00:20:25He had sent me almost the same photo last winter.
00:20:27Same angle.
00:20:28Same composition.
00:20:29Back then, I asked him which cafe it was.
00:20:31He said he'd wandered in at random and couldn't remember.
00:20:34But there was another photo in the old camera.
00:20:36A scarf I'd never seen.
00:20:37Five years.
00:20:39Every winter.
00:20:40The same cafe.
00:20:41The same cup of hot chocolate.
00:20:43The same woman.
00:20:44And what he sent me was always food.
00:20:46And scenery.
00:20:48Never the person beside him.
00:20:54Size five.
00:20:55I wore a seven.
00:20:57Rye, wear this pair next time.
00:20:59The last ones rubbed your heels.
00:21:01Rye.
00:21:01Five years together.
00:21:03And I had never known he had a nickname.
00:21:05He had never let me call him that.
00:21:12The note field read,
00:21:13Hannah's birthday gift.
00:21:15Hannah's birthday was February 15th.
00:21:18Mine was March 9th.
00:21:20Last March 9th,
00:21:21I asked Ryan if he could have dinner with me.
00:21:23He said he had a business dinner.
00:21:24I waited until 11 that night before he texted.
00:21:26Just got home.
00:21:28You asleep?
00:21:28Happy birthday.
00:21:29I'll make it up to you.
00:21:30Make it up.
00:21:31Just like next time.
00:21:32Neither ever came true.
00:21:353,000 photos on his backup phone.
00:21:3711 of me.
00:21:38Seven were from the first year we dated.
00:21:40In the next four years,
00:21:41there were four.
00:21:42There was a folder called Tokyo Snow.
00:21:44Every shot was beautifully framed.
00:21:46Softened by light.
00:21:46Like a magazine spread.
00:21:48When he took pictures of me,
00:21:49he always tapped the shutter once
00:21:50and handed the phone back.
00:21:52No angle.
00:21:52No light.
00:21:53No care.
00:21:54Can you try to take one where I look nice?
00:21:57It's just a photo.
00:21:58Good enough.
00:21:59Good enough.
00:22:00Those two words were what he gave me most.
00:22:03Did you eat?
00:22:05Yes.
00:22:05I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
00:22:07Flight lands at three.
00:22:08Okay.
00:22:09Your voice sounds off.
00:22:11I'm tired.
00:22:12Sleep early.
00:22:14Rye, the car's here.
00:22:16Coming.
00:22:17Hannah's calling me.
00:22:18I have to go.
00:22:18Why is she at your hotel?
00:22:19She's staying next door.
00:22:20We're just going out to eat.
00:22:21Every year?
00:22:22Our schedules happen to overlap.
00:22:23Don't overthink it.
00:22:24He smiled naturally,
00:22:25as if explaining something
00:22:25that did not need an explanation.
00:22:27Oh, I got you a fridge magnet.
00:22:28Took forever to pick one.
00:22:31Five years of love.
00:22:33Every souvenir I had ever received from Japan.
00:22:36Hannah got hot spring hotels,
00:22:37kimono experiences,
00:22:38birthday surprises,
00:22:39and a nickname only she could use.
00:22:42Cute, right?
00:22:43Hannah helped me pick it.
00:22:44Even the gift he bought for me
00:22:46had her fingerprints on it.
00:22:47I typed,
00:22:48What did you bring, Hannah?
00:22:49I replied with one word.
00:22:50Nice.
00:22:52Nice.
00:22:56Your fridge magnet.
00:23:00What's that?
00:23:01For Hannah.
00:23:02A scarf.
00:23:02She said she liked the patterns in Tokyo.
00:23:04Last winter,
00:23:05I told him I wanted a cashmere scarf.
00:23:07He said,
00:23:08Why buy another scarf?
00:23:10Don't you already have several?
00:23:12The several in my closet
00:23:13were all ones I had bought myself.
00:23:15You bought her a scarf?
00:23:17She asked.
00:23:18It was on the way.
00:23:19I'm dead tired.
00:23:20Four hour flight.
00:23:21When are you taking me to Japan?
00:23:24Why bring that up all of a sudden?
00:23:26It's not sudden.
00:23:26I've been asking for five years.
00:23:28When this busy stretch is over.
00:23:30Next time, I promise.
00:23:32Next time.
00:23:33The 17th next time.
00:23:35I said nothing more.
00:23:40Maya, is Ryan back?
00:23:41Isn't he?
00:23:42He is, Mrs. Hale.
00:23:43You two need to hurry with the wedding.
00:23:45People keep asking me about invitations.
00:23:47We're still preparing.
00:23:49Hannah came by last week
00:23:51and helped me choose candy favors.
00:23:52She picked four flavors.
00:23:53See what you think.
00:23:54Hannah helped you choose them?
00:23:56Yes.
00:23:56She said you were busy with work
00:23:58and came over on her own.
00:23:59Such a thoughtful girl.
00:24:01Mrs. Hale,
00:24:01you can tell me about wedding details.
00:24:03You don't need to trouble her.
00:24:04Trouble?
00:24:05She comes over all the time.
00:24:06Three or four times a month.
00:24:08More often than you.
00:24:09In our second year together,
00:24:10I suggested visiting his mother every week.
00:24:13Ryan said,
00:24:14No need to go that often.
00:24:15My mom doesn't like the house too lively.
00:24:17So I changed it to once a month.
00:24:20Later, he said,
00:24:21You're busy.
00:24:22Once every two months is fine.
00:24:24So it wasn't that his mother disliked visitors.
00:24:26She disliked me visiting.
00:24:28Hannah came three or four times a month
00:24:29and no one found her annoying.
00:24:32Mrs. Hale,
00:24:32I'll handle the favors.
00:24:34All right.
00:24:34But the ones Hannah picked are really good.
00:24:36Use them as a reference.
00:24:38You asked Hannah to help your mother
00:24:40choose our wedding candy?
00:24:42She wanted to go herself.
00:24:44And you knew?
00:24:45Of course.
00:24:46My mom told me.
00:24:47Why didn't you tell me?
00:24:49What was there to say?
00:24:50She was just helping.
00:24:52Why is she helping with our wedding?
00:24:54Weren't you busy?
00:24:56When did I ever say that?
00:24:58You work late every day.
00:25:00I figured you didn't have time.
00:25:02Did you ask me?
00:25:04Fine, fine.
00:25:05From now on,
00:25:05you can do everything yourself.
00:25:07Satisfied?
00:25:10The impatience had arrived.
00:25:12It was always like this.
00:25:14First,
00:25:15don't overthink it.
00:25:16Then,
00:25:17what is there to say?
00:25:19Finally,
00:25:20fine,
00:25:20you're right about everything.
00:25:24Nothing was ever solved.
00:25:32Hannah's pot roast tastes just like mine.
00:25:35Hannah looked more at home in that kitchen than I ever had.
00:25:39She knew where the plates were,
00:25:41which drawer held the spices,
00:25:43what Mrs. Hale liked to eat.
00:25:44In five years,
00:25:45every time I visited,
00:25:46I had to ask.
00:25:47Because I went too rarely.
00:25:49Because Ryan said I didn't need to go often.
00:25:52Maya,
00:25:52let me be honest.
00:25:53I watched Hannah grow up.
00:25:55She and Ryan know each other inside out.
00:25:57You're a good girl,
00:25:58but you aren't very good at taking care of people.
00:26:01You should learn from Hannah.
00:26:04Why aren't you eating?
00:26:07I'm not hungry.
00:26:14What's that?
00:26:15Oh,
00:26:16this.
00:26:16Hannah's birthday gift.
00:26:18A necklace.
00:26:21Ryan's R.
00:26:24Custom made.
00:26:25Took two months.
00:26:27Our engagement ring had been bought online.
00:26:29When it arrived,
00:26:30he opened the package
00:26:31and slid it directly onto my finger.
00:26:34I wanted to choose one in a store.
00:26:36Rings are all the same.
00:26:38No need to make a trip.
00:26:40You had a necklace custom made for her?
00:26:43It's her birthday.
00:26:45Just something small.
00:26:47What did you give me on my birthday?
00:26:50Last year,
00:26:51I think I sent you money.
00:26:55You didn't.
00:26:57Then I forgot.
00:26:59I'll make it up next time.
00:27:02Next time.
00:27:03Always next time.
00:27:07Ryan,
00:27:08do you think what we have is normal?
00:27:11Why wouldn't it be?
00:27:12You custom order Hannah a necklace
00:27:15and buy me a fridge magnet.
00:27:17You celebrate her birthday
00:27:19and forget mine.
00:27:20You let her go to your mother's house
00:27:22while I don't even get the chance.
00:27:24Do you think that's normal?
00:27:29You're doing this again.
00:27:31Hannah and I grew up together.
00:27:32What's wrong with me being nice to her?
00:27:35What about me?
00:27:37Am I not good to you?
00:27:39We've dated for five years,
00:27:41bought a condo,
00:27:42and we're getting married.
00:27:43Isn't that enough?
00:27:44Maya,
00:27:44we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:27:46A steady life matters more than anything.
00:27:49All that flashy stuff.
00:27:51Hot spring hotels were flashy.
00:27:53Custom necklaces were flashy.
00:27:55Birthday surprises were flashy.
00:27:58He gave all the flashy things to Hannah.
00:28:00What he left me
00:28:01was a steady life.
00:28:04You're right.
00:28:08Let's live steadily.
00:28:13The next day,
00:28:14Ryan's college friend Owen texted me.
00:28:16Maya,
00:28:16we're having a get-together Saturday.
00:28:18Are you coming?
00:28:19What get-together?
00:28:21Old classmates.
00:28:22Hannah will be there too.
00:28:23Hannah would be there too.
00:28:24Of course.
00:28:29The necklace Ryan had made.
00:28:31On her.
00:28:33Rye!
00:28:34Maya's here!
00:28:35Don't call her that like she's already family.
00:28:37They're not married yet.
00:28:39Set a date?
00:28:40We're still looking.
00:28:42Hannah's helped a lot, right?
00:28:43Your mom said she runs over all the time.
00:28:45She's just helpful.
00:28:46I'm only helping a little.
00:28:47Maya's so busy.
00:28:48She called me by name with such warmth,
00:28:49but my fiancé's custom necklace
00:28:51was sitting at her throat.
00:28:52Hannah,
00:28:52that's a gorgeous necklace.
00:28:54Who gave it to you?
00:28:56A friend.
00:28:57What kind of friend is that generous?
00:28:59It's custom, isn't it?
00:29:01I gave it to her.
00:29:02Birthday gift.
00:29:03I bought it casually.
00:29:05Casually.
00:29:06Two months for a custom order.
00:29:08And he called it casual.
00:29:09You bought one for your fiancé too, right?
00:29:11Maya doesn't like wearing things like that.
00:29:13It wasn't that I didn't like them.
00:29:15He had never bought me any,
00:29:16so he assumed I didn't like them.
00:29:18You don't mind, do you, Maya?
00:29:20No.
00:29:20You're so generous.
00:29:22Halfway through dinner,
00:29:23Owen started making trouble.
00:29:24Come on, let's test how well you know each other.
00:29:26Ryan, what's your fiancé's favorite flower?
00:29:28Roses?
00:29:29No.
00:29:30Lisianthus.
00:29:30Her birthday?
00:29:31March 9th?
00:29:32He got it right only after a pause.
00:29:34What is she most afraid of?
00:29:35She isn't afraid of anything.
00:29:36Maya's brave.
00:29:37I was afraid of the dark.
00:29:39I told him that our first year together.
00:29:40He had forgotten.
00:29:41Terrible.
00:29:42Hannah, your turn.
00:29:44What's Ryan's favorite coffee?
00:29:45Americano.
00:29:46Light sugar.
00:29:47Warm.
00:29:47What is he most afraid of?
00:29:49Thunder.
00:29:50When he was little,
00:29:51lightning hit a tree in his yard,
00:29:53and he cried.
00:29:54His catchphrase?
00:29:55Good enough.
00:29:57Hannah knows Ryan better than his fiancé.
00:30:00We've known each other ten years.
00:30:01Ten years.
00:30:01She had known him ten.
00:30:03I had known him five.
00:30:04She knew he was afraid of thunder.
00:30:05I didn't.
00:30:06It wasn't that I didn't want to know him.
00:30:08He had never told me.
00:30:10With me, every answer was whatever, anything,
00:30:12nothing worth telling.
00:30:14With Hannah, he lit up like a different person.
00:30:21Maya, I want to say something.
00:30:23Don't take it the wrong way.
00:30:25Say it.
00:30:26Rye can be careless, but he's not a bad man.
00:30:29Don't be too hard on him.
00:30:31I'm not.
00:30:32He told me you've been emotional lately,
00:30:34always getting upset over things about me.
00:30:37He had told Hannah about the problems between us.
00:30:40Maya, I'll be blunt.
00:30:42If you can't give him even this much trust,
00:30:46then what's the point of marrying him?
00:30:48He goes to Japan with you every year.
00:30:50What exactly am I supposed to trust?
00:30:53Those are business trips.
00:30:55Business trips don't happen in the same place every year,
00:30:57at the same hotel,
00:30:59photographing the same woman.
00:31:01Maya,
00:31:02Rye and I are friends.
00:31:04If you insist on imagining something else,
00:31:07that's your problem.
00:31:09By the way,
00:31:11for the living room wall in your condo,
00:31:13I suggested warm gray.
00:31:14Rye thinks it looks better than the cream white you chose.
00:31:17The living room wall.
00:31:19I had chosen cream white
00:31:20and watched the workers paint it twice.
00:31:23Ryan had not gone there once,
00:31:24but he had let Hannah give opinions
00:31:26and he liked hers better than mine.
00:31:33What took so long?
00:31:35Washing my hands.
00:31:37Let's go.
00:31:37We'll drop Hannah off.
00:31:40Can't she go by herself?
00:31:42It's on the way.
00:31:45Hannah lived on the east side.
00:31:47We lived on the west side.
00:31:50On what planet was that on the way?
00:31:53You take her.
00:31:54I'll get a cab.
00:31:56Don't make a scene.
00:31:57Come on.
00:32:02Rye,
00:32:03remember this song?
00:32:04It played in that izakaya in Tokyo last year.
00:32:07I remember.
00:32:08You even sang along.
00:32:10In the back seat,
00:32:11I was an extra passenger.
00:32:16Maya,
00:32:17rest early.
00:32:18Rye,
00:32:19don't forget that thing next week.
00:32:20I know.
00:32:27What thing?
00:32:28Helping her move a cabinet.
00:32:30She can hire movers.
00:32:32Why waste money on that?
00:32:35Last year,
00:32:36I asked him to move
00:32:37one box of books for me.
00:32:39He said his back hurt
00:32:41and told me to hire movers.
00:32:43For Hannah's cabinet,
00:32:44he would go himself.
00:32:47Ryan,
00:32:48do you ever feel like
00:32:49you're better to Hannah
00:32:50than you are to me?
00:32:53She grew up with me.
00:32:54Being good to her is a habit.
00:32:57But you're the one I'm marrying.
00:32:59Isn't that enough?
00:33:01Enough.
00:33:06Ryan,
00:33:06can you stay home today?
00:33:08What's wrong?
00:33:09I want you to spend the day with me.
00:33:11Sure.
00:33:12I don't have plans anyway.
00:33:13Really?
00:33:14Really.
00:33:14What do you want to do?
00:33:15Nothing.
00:33:16Just stay home.
00:33:17Okay.
00:33:19Ryan.
00:33:20Hmm?
00:33:21Do you love me?
00:33:22Why ask that all of a sudden?
00:33:23I want to hear you say it once.
00:33:25I'm marrying you.
00:33:27What do you think?
00:33:28Marriage and love aren't the same thing.
00:33:30What's going on with you today?
00:33:31I just want to hear you say it.
00:33:33Maya,
00:33:34of course I...
00:33:35It's Hannah.
00:33:36Don't answer.
00:33:37Let me see.
00:33:38She says a pipe burst at her place.
00:33:39Water everywhere.
00:33:40She can call building maintenance.
00:33:42It's the weekend.
00:33:43Maintenance is off.
00:33:44Then she can call a plumber.
00:33:45By the time a plumber gets there,
00:33:46her apartment will be flooded.
00:33:47I'll go take a look.
00:33:49I'll be back soon.
00:33:49Ryan,
00:33:50you promised you wouldn't go out today.
00:33:53I know,
00:33:54but this is urgent.
00:33:55You always say that.
00:33:57A pipe burst.
00:33:58I can't just ignore it.
00:34:00What about me?
00:34:02What about you?
00:34:03You're fine.
00:34:05I was fine.
00:34:06He always thought I was fine.
00:34:09Hannah's burst pipe was urgent.
00:34:10My broken heart was not.
00:34:12In our first year together,
00:34:14when he confessed,
00:34:15he said,
00:34:16Maya,
00:34:16I want to spend my life with you.
00:34:18That day,
00:34:19he took me to a little western restaurant place
00:34:21and said we would come back every anniversary.
00:34:24He forgot the second year anniversary.
00:34:26In the third year,
00:34:27I reminded him and he said,
00:34:29It's just a bowl of noodles.
00:34:30Another day is the same.
00:34:31In the fourth and fifth years,
00:34:33I stopped mentioning it.
00:34:34He never remembered again.
00:34:36Go.
00:34:37One hour tops.
00:34:39I'll come back and be with you.
00:34:41Don't be mad.
00:34:44One hour passed.
00:34:46Then two.
00:34:48Then three.
00:34:51Almost done.
00:34:52The pipe's fixed,
00:34:52but there's water everywhere.
00:34:53I'm helping her mop.
00:34:55When are you coming back?
00:34:56Soon.
00:34:59Another hour passed.
00:35:02He texted,
00:35:03Hannah says thank you for letting me come.
00:35:05She's treating me to lunch.
00:35:06I'll head back after.
00:35:08I didn't reply.
00:35:10Then he sent,
00:35:11Eat first.
00:35:11Don't wait for me.
00:35:15I had asked whether he loved me.
00:35:17He never finished the sentence.
00:35:19Because Hannah's phone call mattered more than my question.
00:35:22I didn't actually own much in this home.
00:35:24One suitcase for clothes,
00:35:25half a suitcase for books and small things.
00:35:27On the bathroom counter,
00:35:28I had only a toothbrush and a bottle of cleanser.
00:35:31Hannah had more here than I did.
00:35:33Canvas shoes,
00:35:34a jacket,
00:35:35a mug,
00:35:36a tube of lipstick.
00:35:38Ryan,
00:35:38I canceled the condo.
00:35:41I'm returning the ring.
00:35:43I'm returning the five fridge magnets too.
00:35:46Find someone else for the honeymoon.
00:35:48Hers.
00:35:49All of it.
00:35:51This home was full of Ryan and Hannah.
00:35:54My whole life here
00:35:55fit into two suitcases.
00:35:59Where to?
00:36:01The train station.
00:36:03Three hours later,
00:36:05the train arrived.
00:36:06In this new city,
00:36:07no one waited at the exit.
00:36:10This time,
00:36:11I didn't mind.
00:36:28When I canceled the condo,
00:36:30the realtor stared at me.
00:36:35You've already paid the $45,000 down payment.
00:36:39Aren't you waiting for your fiancé to come back and sign with you?
00:36:42No.
00:36:43He's busy taking his first love shopping near Mount Fuji.
00:36:46For five years,
00:36:47every winter,
00:36:48Ryan Hale went to Japan.
00:36:50He called it business.
00:36:52But the photos he posted
00:36:54were always of Fuji's snow-covered peak.
00:36:56Whenever I asked when he would take me there for our honeymoon,
00:36:58he said,
00:36:59next time.
00:37:00Then yesterday,
00:37:01in an old camera he'd left at home,
00:37:02I found dozens of pictures.
00:37:04The same woman,
00:37:06the same angles,
00:37:07the same background.
00:37:08Cherry blossoms,
00:37:09white snow,
00:37:10Mount Fuji.
00:37:11The only trip he had ever taken with me
00:37:13was to the next city over
00:37:14to look at this condo.
00:37:15Maya,
00:37:15we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:37:16We just need a real life together.
00:37:20I believed him.
00:37:21When it was time to sign the cancellation papers,
00:37:24I looked at the condo I had decorated myself
00:37:26and suddenly broke down.
00:37:27I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
00:37:29Do you still want to cancel?
00:37:32Yes.
00:37:33My resignation had already been approved.
00:37:35This was my last night in the city.
00:37:38Mount Fuji would never come to me.
00:37:41But I could walk away.
00:37:46Maya,
00:37:47did you really cancel it?
00:37:48I did.
00:37:50The down payment was $45,000.
00:37:52You just canceled it by yourself?
00:37:54Yes.
00:37:55Does Ryan know?
00:37:56He's in Japan.
00:37:57For work?
00:37:58I didn't answer.
00:37:59Did you tell him?
00:38:00No.
00:38:01Maya,
00:38:02even if you're fighting,
00:38:03the condo isn't something you can just...
00:38:04I found dozens of photos in his old camera.
00:38:07Same woman,
00:38:08same mountain,
00:38:08five years.
00:38:10Hannah Pierce?
00:38:11Yes.
00:38:12Are you sure it's not a misunderstanding?
00:38:14What kind of business trip involves
00:38:16photographing the same woman
00:38:17in the same place for five winters?
00:38:19Claire stopped talking.
00:38:25On the way,
00:38:26Ryan sent me a text.
00:38:27A photo.
00:38:28Hot chocolate in a white ceramic cup.
00:38:30A little deer was painted on the side.
00:38:32Caption,
00:38:32It's snowing in Tokyo.
00:38:34Freezing.
00:38:35I recognize that cup.
00:38:37He had sent me almost the same photo last winter.
00:38:39Same angle,
00:38:40same composition.
00:38:41Back then,
00:38:42I asked him which cafe it was.
00:38:43He said he'd wandered in at random
00:38:45and couldn't remember.
00:38:45But there was another photo in the old camera.
00:38:48A scarf I'd never seen.
00:38:49Five years.
00:38:50Every winter.
00:38:52The same cafe.
00:38:53The same cup of hot chocolate.
00:38:55The same woman.
00:38:56And what he sent me was always food
00:38:58and scenery.
00:38:59Never the person beside him.
00:39:06Size five.
00:39:07I wore a seven.
00:39:09Rye,
00:39:09wear this pair next time.
00:39:10The last ones rubbed your heels.
00:39:12Rye,
00:39:13five years together.
00:39:15And I had never known he had a nickname.
00:39:17He had never let me call him that.
00:39:23The note field read,
00:39:25Hannah's birthday gift.
00:39:27Hannah's birthday was February 15th.
00:39:30Mine was March 9th.
00:39:32Last March 9th,
00:39:33I asked Ryan if he could have dinner with me.
00:39:35He said he had a business dinner.
00:39:36I waited until 11 that night before he texted.
00:39:38Just got home.
00:39:39You asleep?
00:39:40Happy birthday.
00:39:41I'll make it up to you.
00:39:42Make it up.
00:39:43Just like next time.
00:39:44Neither ever came true.
00:39:473,000 photos on his backup phone.
00:39:4911 of me.
00:39:50Seven were from the first year we dated.
00:39:52In the next four years,
00:39:53there were four.
00:39:54There was a folder called Tokyo Snow.
00:39:56Every shot was beautifully framed,
00:39:57softened by light,
00:39:58like a magazine spread.
00:40:00When he took pictures of me,
00:40:01he always tapped the shutter once
00:40:02and handed the phone back.
00:40:03No angle,
00:40:04no light,
00:40:05no care.
00:40:06Can you try to take one where I look nice?
00:40:09It's just a photo.
00:40:10Good enough.
00:40:11Good enough.
00:40:12Those two words were what he gave me most.
00:40:15Did you eat?
00:40:17Yes.
00:40:17I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
00:40:19Flight lands at 3.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:21Your voice sounds off.
00:40:23I'm tired.
00:40:24Sleep early.
00:40:26Rye,
00:40:26the car's here.
00:40:28Coming.
00:40:29Hannah's calling me.
00:40:30I have to go.
00:40:30Why is she at your hotel?
00:40:31She's staying next door.
00:40:32We're just going out to eat.
00:40:33Every year?
00:40:34Our schedules happen to overlap.
00:40:35Don't overthink it.
00:40:36He smiled naturally,
00:40:36as if explaining something
00:40:37that did not need an explanation.
00:40:39Oh,
00:40:39I got you a fridge magnet.
00:40:40Took forever to pick one.
00:40:43Five years of love.
00:40:45Every souvenir I had ever received from Japan.
00:40:47Hannah got hot spring hotels,
00:40:49kimono experiences,
00:40:50birthday surprises,
00:40:51and a nickname only she could use.
00:40:54Cute, right?
00:40:55Hannah helped me pick it.
00:40:56Even the gift he bought for me
00:40:57had her fingerprints on it.
00:40:59I typed,
00:41:00What did you bring, Hannah?
00:41:00I replied with one word.
00:41:02Nice.
00:41:08Your fridge magnet.
00:41:12What's that?
00:41:13For Hannah.
00:41:13A scarf.
00:41:14She said she liked the patterns in Tokyo.
00:41:16Last winter,
00:41:17I told him I wanted a cashmere scarf.
00:41:19He said,
00:41:21Why buy another scarf?
00:41:22Don't you already have several?
00:41:24The several in my closet
00:41:25were all ones I had bought myself.
00:41:27You bought her a scarf?
00:41:29She asked.
00:41:30It was on the way.
00:41:31I'm dead tired.
00:41:32Four hour flight.
00:41:34When are you taking me to Japan?
00:41:36Why bring that up all of a sudden?
00:41:37It's not sudden.
00:41:38I've been asking for five years.
00:41:40When this busy stretch is over.
00:41:42Next time, I promise.
00:41:44Next time.
00:41:45The 17th next time.
00:41:47I said nothing more.
00:41:52Maya, is Ryan back, isn't he?
00:41:54He is, Mrs. Hale.
00:41:55You two need to hurry with the wedding.
00:41:57People keep asking me about invitations.
00:41:59We're still preparing.
00:42:01Hannah came by last week
00:42:02and helped me choose candy favors.
00:42:04She picked four flavors.
00:42:05See what you think.
00:42:06Hannah helped you choose them?
00:42:08Yes.
00:42:08She said you were busy with work
00:42:10and came over on her own.
00:42:11Such a thoughtful girl.
00:42:13Mrs. Hale,
00:42:13you can tell me about wedding details.
00:42:15You don't need to trouble her.
00:42:16Trouble?
00:42:17She comes over all the time.
00:42:18Three or four times a month.
00:42:20More often than you.
00:42:21In our second year together,
00:42:22I suggested visiting his mother every week.
00:42:25Ryan said,
00:42:26No need to go that often.
00:42:27My mom doesn't like the house too lively.
00:42:29So I changed it to once a month.
00:42:32Later he said,
00:42:33You're busy.
00:42:34Once every two months is fine.
00:42:36So it wasn't that his mother disliked visitors.
00:42:38She disliked me visiting.
00:42:40Hannah came three or four times a month.
00:42:42And no one found her annoying.
00:42:44Mrs. Hale,
00:42:44I'll handle the favors.
00:42:46All right.
00:42:46But the ones Hannah picked are really good.
00:42:48Use them as a reference.
00:42:50You asked Hannah to help your mother
00:42:52choose our wedding candy?
00:42:54She wanted to go herself.
00:42:56And you knew?
00:42:57Of course.
00:42:58My mom told me.
00:42:59Why didn't you tell me?
00:43:01What was there to say?
00:43:02She was just helping.
00:43:03Why is she helping with our wedding?
00:43:06Weren't you busy?
00:43:08When did I ever say that?
00:43:10You work late every day.
00:43:12I figured you didn't have time.
00:43:14Did you ask me?
00:43:16Fine, fine.
00:43:17From now on you can do everything yourself.
00:43:18Satisfied?
00:43:22The impatience had arrived.
00:43:24It was always like this.
00:43:26First, don't overthink it.
00:43:28Then, what is there to say?
00:43:31Finally, fine.
00:43:32You're right about everything.
00:43:36Nothing was ever solved.
00:43:44Hannah's pot roast tastes just like mine.
00:43:47Hannah looked more at home in that kitchen than I ever had.
00:43:51She knew where the plates were,
00:43:53which drawer held the spices,
00:43:55what Mrs. Hale liked to eat.
00:43:56In five years, every time I visited,
00:43:58I had to ask.
00:43:59Because I went too rarely.
00:44:01Because Ryan said I didn't need to go often.
00:44:04Maya, let me be honest.
00:44:05I watched Hannah grow up.
00:44:07She and Ryan know each other inside out.
00:44:09You're a good girl,
00:44:10but you aren't very good at taking care of people.
00:44:13You should learn from Hannah.
00:44:16Why aren't you eating?
00:44:19I'm not hungry.
00:44:26What's that?
00:44:27Oh, this.
00:44:28Hannah's birthday gift.
00:44:30A necklace.
00:44:33Ryan's birthday gift.
00:44:34Ryan's birthday gift.
00:44:34Ryan's birthday gift.
00:44:34Ryan's birthday gift.
00:44:36Ryan's birthday gift.
00:44:36Custom made.
00:44:37Took two months.
00:44:39Our engagement ring had been bought online.
00:44:41When it arrived,
00:44:42he opened the package
00:44:43and slid it directly onto my finger.
00:44:46I wanted to choose one in a store.
00:44:48Rings are all the same.
00:44:50No need to make a trip.
00:44:52You had a necklace custom made for her?
00:44:55It's her birthday.
00:44:57Just something small.
00:44:59What did you give me on my birthday?
00:45:02Last year,
00:45:03I think I sent you money.
00:45:07You didn't.
00:45:09Then I forgot.
00:45:11I'll make it up next time.
00:45:14Next time.
00:45:15Always next time.
00:45:19Ryan,
00:45:20do you think what we have is normal?
00:45:22Why wouldn't it be?
00:45:24You custom order Hannah a necklace
00:45:26and buy me a fridge magnet.
00:45:29You celebrate her birthday
00:45:30and forget mine.
00:45:32You let her go to your mother's house
00:45:34while I don't even get the chance.
00:45:36Do you think that's normal?
00:45:40You're doing this again.
00:45:42Hannah and I grew up together.
00:45:44What's wrong with me being nice to her?
00:45:46What about me?
00:45:49Am I not good to you?
00:45:51We've dated for five years,
00:45:53bought a condo,
00:45:54and we're getting married.
00:45:55Isn't that enough?
00:45:56Maya,
00:45:56we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:45:58A steady life matters more than anything.
00:46:01All that flashy stuff.
00:46:02Hot spring hotels were flashy.
00:46:05Custom necklaces were flashy.
00:46:07Birthday surprises were flashy.
00:46:10He gave all the flashy things to Hannah.
00:46:12What he left me
00:46:13was a steady life.
00:46:16You're right.
00:46:20Let's live steadily.
00:46:24The next day,
00:46:26Ryan's college friend Owen texted me.
00:46:28Maya,
00:46:28we're having a get-together Saturday.
00:46:30Are you coming?
00:46:31What get-together?
00:46:32Old classmates.
00:46:34Hannah will be there too.
00:46:35Hannah would be there too.
00:46:36Of course.
00:46:41The necklace Ryan had made.
00:46:43On her.
00:46:45Rye!
00:46:46Maya's here!
00:46:47Don't call her that like she's already family.
00:46:49They're not married yet.
00:46:51Set a date?
00:46:52We're still looking.
00:46:54Hannah's helped a lot, right?
00:46:55Your mom said she runs over all the time.
00:46:57She's just helpful.
00:46:58I'm only helping a little.
00:46:59Maya's so busy.
00:47:00She called me by name with such warmth,
00:47:01but my fiancé's custom necklace
00:47:03was sitting at her throat.
00:47:04Hannah,
00:47:04that's a gorgeous necklace.
00:47:06Who gave it to you?
00:47:08A friend.
00:47:09What kind of friend is that generous?
00:47:11It's custom, isn't it?
00:47:13I gave it to her.
00:47:14Birthday gift.
00:47:15I bought it casually.
00:47:16Casually.
00:47:18Two months for a custom order.
00:47:20And he called it casual.
00:47:21You bought one for your fiancé too, right?
00:47:23Maya doesn't like wearing things like that.
00:47:25It wasn't that I didn't like them.
00:47:27He had never bought me any,
00:47:28so he assumed I didn't like them.
00:47:30You don't mind, do you, Maya?
00:47:31No.
00:47:32You're so generous.
00:47:33Halfway through dinner,
00:47:35Owen started making trouble.
00:47:36Come on, let's test how well you know each other.
00:47:38Ryan, what's your fiancé's favorite flower?
00:47:40Roses?
00:47:41No.
00:47:41Lisianthus.
00:47:42Her birthday?
00:47:43March 9th?
00:47:44He got it right only after a pause.
00:47:45What is she most afraid of?
00:47:47She isn't afraid of anything.
00:47:48Maya's brave.
00:47:49I was afraid of the dark.
00:47:50I told him that our first year together.
00:47:52He had forgotten.
00:47:53Terrible.
00:47:54Hannah, your turn.
00:47:55What's Ryan's favorite coffee?
00:47:57Americano.
00:47:58Light sugar.
00:47:59Warm.
00:47:59What is he most afraid of?
00:48:01Thunder.
00:48:02When he was little,
00:48:03lightning hit a tree in his yard and he cried.
00:48:06His catchphrase?
00:48:07Good enough.
00:48:09Hannah knows Ryan better than his fiancé.
00:48:12We've known each other ten years.
00:48:13Ten years.
00:48:13She had known him ten.
00:48:14I had known him five.
00:48:16She knew he was afraid of thunder.
00:48:17I didn't.
00:48:18It wasn't that I didn't want to know him.
00:48:20He had never told me.
00:48:22With me, every answer was whatever, anything,
00:48:24nothing worth telling.
00:48:25With Hannah, he lit up like a different person.
00:48:33Maya, I want to say something.
00:48:35Don't take it the wrong way.
00:48:37Say it.
00:48:38Rye can be careless, but he's not a bad man.
00:48:41Don't be too hard on him.
00:48:43I'm not.
00:48:44He told me you've been emotional lately,
00:48:46always getting upset over things about me.
00:48:49He had told Hannah about the problems between us.
00:48:52Maya, I'll be blunt.
00:48:54If you can't give him even this much trust,
00:48:58then what's the point of marrying him?
00:49:00He goes to Japan with you every year.
00:49:02What exactly am I supposed to trust?
00:49:05Those are business trips.
00:49:06Business trips don't happen in the same place every year,
00:49:09at the same hotel,
00:49:11photographing the same woman.
00:49:13Maya,
00:49:14Rye and I are friends.
00:49:16If you insist on imagining something else,
00:49:18that's your problem.
00:49:21By the way,
00:49:23for the living room wall in your condo,
00:49:25I suggested warm gray.
00:49:26Rye thinks it looks better than the cream white you chose.
00:49:29The living room wall.
00:49:31I had chosen cream white
00:49:32and watched the workers paint it twice.
00:49:35Ryan had not gone there once,
00:49:36but he had let Hannah give opinions,
00:49:38and he liked hers better than mine.
00:49:45What took so long?
00:49:47Washing my hands.
00:49:48Let's go.
00:49:49We'll drop Hannah off.
00:49:52Can't she go by herself?
00:49:54It's on the way.
00:49:57Hannah lived on the east side.
00:49:59We lived on the west side.
00:50:02On what planet was that on the way?
00:50:05You take her.
00:50:06I'll get a cab.
00:50:08Don't make a scene.
00:50:09Come on.
00:50:14Rye,
00:50:15remember this song?
00:50:16It played in that izakaya in Tokyo last year.
00:50:19I remember.
00:50:20You even sang along.
00:50:22In the back seat,
00:50:23I was an extra passenger.
00:50:28Maya,
00:50:29rest early.
00:50:30Rye,
00:50:31don't forget that thing next week.
00:50:32I know.
00:50:38What thing?
00:50:40Helping her move a cabinet.
00:50:42She can hire movers.
00:50:44Why waste money on that?
00:50:47Last year,
00:50:48I asked him to move one box of books for me.
00:50:51He said his back hurt
00:50:52and told me to hire movers.
00:50:55For Hannah's cabinet,
00:50:56he would go himself.
00:50:59Ryan,
00:51:00do you ever feel like
00:51:01you're better to Hannah
00:51:02than you are to me?
00:51:05She grew up with me.
00:51:07Being good to her is a habit.
00:51:09But you're the one I'm marrying.
00:51:10Isn't that enough?
00:51:13Enough.
00:51:18Ryan,
00:51:18can you stay home today?
00:51:20What's wrong?
00:51:21I want you to spend the day with me.
00:51:23Sure.
00:51:24I don't have plans anyway.
00:51:25Really?
00:51:26Really.
00:51:26What do you want to do?
00:51:27Nothing.
00:51:28Just stay home.
00:51:29Okay.
00:51:31Ryan.
00:51:32Hmm?
00:51:33Do you love me?
00:51:34Why ask that all of a sudden?
00:51:35I want to hear you say it once.
00:51:37I'm marrying you.
00:51:39What do you think?
00:51:40Marriage and love aren't the same thing.
00:51:42What's going on with you today?
00:51:43I just want to hear you say it.
00:51:45Maya, of course I-
00:51:47It's Hannah.
00:51:48Don't answer.
00:51:49Let me see.
00:51:50She says a pipe burst at her place.
00:51:51Water everywhere.
00:51:52She can call building maintenance.
00:51:54It's the weekend.
00:51:55Maintenance is off.
00:51:55Then she can call a plumber.
00:51:57By the time a plumber gets there,
00:51:58her apartment will be flooded.
00:51:59I'll go take a look.
00:52:00I'll be back soon.
00:52:01Ryan, you promised you wouldn't go out today.
00:52:05I know, but this is urgent.
00:52:07You always say that.
00:52:09A pipe burst.
00:52:10I can't just ignore it.
00:52:12What about me?
00:52:14What about you?
00:52:15You're fine.
00:52:17I was fine.
00:52:18He always thought I was fine.
00:52:21Hannah's burst pipe was urgent.
00:52:22My broken heart was not.
00:52:24In our first year together,
00:52:26when he confessed,
00:52:27he said,
00:52:28Maya, I want to spend my life with you.
00:52:30That day,
00:52:31he took me to a little western restaurant place
00:52:33and said we would come back every anniversary.
00:52:36He forgot the second year anniversary.
00:52:38In the third year,
00:52:39I reminded him and he said,
00:52:41It's just a bowl of noodles.
00:52:42Another day is the same.
00:52:43In the fourth and fifth years,
00:52:44I stopped mentioning it.
00:52:46He never remembered again.
00:52:48Go.
00:52:48One hour tops.
00:52:51I'll come back and be with you.
00:52:53Don't be mad.
00:52:56One hour passed.
00:52:58Then two.
00:53:00Then three.
00:53:03Almost done.
00:53:04The pipe's fixed,
00:53:04but there's water everywhere.
00:53:05I'm helping her mop.
00:53:06When are you coming back?
00:53:08Soon.
00:53:11Another hour passed.
00:53:13He texted,
00:53:15Hannah says thank you for letting me come.
00:53:17She's treating me to lunch.
00:53:18I'll head back after.
00:53:19I didn't reply.
00:53:21Then he sent,
00:53:23Eat first.
00:53:23Don't wait for me.
00:53:27I had asked whether he loved me.
00:53:29He never finished the sentence.
00:53:31Because Hannah's phone call mattered more than my question.
00:53:34I didn't actually own much in this home.
00:53:36One suitcase for clothes,
00:53:37half a suitcase for books and small things.
00:53:39On the bathroom counter,
00:53:40I had only a toothbrush and a bottle of cleanser.
00:53:43Hannah had more here than I did.
00:53:45Canvas juice,
00:53:46a jacket,
00:53:47a mug,
00:53:47a tube of lipstick.
00:53:50Ryan,
00:53:50I canceled the condo.
00:53:53I'm returning the ring.
00:53:55I'm returning the five fridge magnets, too.
00:53:58Find someone else for the honeymoon.
00:54:01Hers.
00:54:01All of it.
00:54:03This home was full of Ryan and Hannah.
00:54:06My whole life here
00:54:07fit into two suitcases.
00:54:11Where to?
00:54:13The train station.
00:54:15Three hours later,
00:54:17the train arrived.
00:54:18In this new city,
00:54:19no one waited at the exit.
00:54:22This time,
00:54:23I didn't mind.
00:54:26I didn't mind.
00:54:26I didn't mind.
00:54:40When I canceled the condo,
00:54:42the realtor stared at me.
00:54:47You've already paid the $45,000 down payment.
00:54:51Aren't you waiting for your fiancé to come back and sign with you?
00:54:53No.
00:54:54He's busy taking his first love shopping near Mount Fuji.
00:54:58For five years,
00:54:59every winter,
00:55:00Ryan Hale went to Japan.
00:55:02He called it business.
00:55:03But the photos he posted
00:55:05were always of Fuji's snow-covered peak.
00:55:08Whenever I asked when he would take me there for our honeymoon,
00:55:10he said,
00:55:11next time.
00:55:12Then yesterday,
00:55:13in an old camera he'd left at home,
00:55:14I found dozens of pictures.
00:55:16The same woman,
00:55:17the same angles,
00:55:19the same background.
00:55:20Cherry blossoms,
00:55:21white snow,
00:55:22Mount Fuji.
00:55:23The only trip he had ever taken with me
00:55:25was to the next city over
00:55:26to look at this condo.
00:55:27Maya,
00:55:27we don't need all that flashy stuff.
00:55:28We just need a real life together.
00:55:32I believed him.
00:55:33When it was time to sign the cancellation papers,
00:55:35I looked at the condo I had decorated myself
00:55:37and suddenly broke down.
00:55:39I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
00:55:41Do you still want to cancel?
00:55:44Yes.
00:55:45My resignation had already been approved.
00:55:47This was my last night in the city.
00:55:50Mount Fuji would never come to me.
00:55:53But I could walk away.
00:55:58Maya,
00:55:59did you really cancel it?
00:56:00I did.
00:56:01The down payment was $45,000.
00:56:04You just canceled it by yourself?
00:56:06Yes.
00:56:06Does Ryan know?
00:56:08He's in Japan.
00:56:09For work?
00:56:10I didn't answer.
00:56:11Did you tell him?
00:56:12No.
00:56:13Maya,
00:56:14even if you're fighting,
00:56:15the condo isn't something you can just...
00:56:16I found dozens of photos in his old camera.
00:56:19Same woman,
00:56:20same mountain,
00:56:21five years.
00:56:21Hannah Pierce?
00:56:23Yes.
00:56:24Are you sure it's not a misunderstanding?
00:56:26What kind of business trip involves photographing the same woman in the same place for five winters?
00:56:31Claire stopped talking.
00:56:37On the way,
00:56:38Ryan sent me a text.
00:56:39A photo.
00:56:40Hot chocolate in a white ceramic cup.
00:56:42A little deer was painted on the side.
00:56:44Caption,
00:56:44It's snowing in Tokyo.
00:56:46Freezing.
00:56:47I recognized that cup.
00:56:48He had sent me almost the same photo last winter.
00:56:51Same angle,
00:56:52same composition.
00:56:53Back then,
00:56:53I asked him which cafe it was.
00:56:55He said he'd wandered in at random and couldn't remember.
00:56:57But there was another photo in the old camera.
00:57:00A scarf I'd never seen.
00:57:01Five years.
00:57:02Every winter.
00:57:03The same cafe.
00:57:05The same cup of hot chocolate.
00:57:07The same woman.
00:57:07And what he sent me was always food and scenery.
00:57:11Never the person beside him.
00:57:18Size five.
00:57:19I wore a seven.
00:57:20Rye,
00:57:21wear this pair next time.
00:57:22The last ones rubbed your heels.
00:57:24Rye,
00:57:25five years together.
00:57:27And I had never known he had a nickname.
00:57:29He had never let me call him that.
00:57:35The note field read,
00:57:37Hannah's birthday gift.
00:57:39Hannah's birthday was February 15th.
00:57:42Mine was March 9th.
00:57:44Last March 9th,
00:57:45I asked Ryan if he could have dinner with me.
00:57:46He said he had a business dinner.
00:57:48I waited until 11 that night before he texted.
00:57:50Just got home.
00:57:51You asleep?
00:57:52Happy birthday.
00:57:53I'll make it up to you.
00:57:54Make it up.
00:57:55Just like next time.
00:57:56Neither ever came true.
00:57:583,000 photos on his backup phone.
00:58:0111 of me.
00:58:017 were from the first year we dated.
00:58:03In the next four years,
00:58:05there were four.
00:58:06There was a folder called Tokyo Snow.
00:58:08Every shot was beautifully framed.
00:58:09Softened by light.
00:58:10Like a magazine spread.
00:58:12When he took pictures of me,
00:58:13he always tapped the shutter once
00:58:14and handed the phone back.
00:58:15No angle.
00:58:16No light.
00:58:17No care.
00:58:18Can you try to take one where I look nice?
00:58:20It's just a photo.
00:58:22Good enough.
00:58:23Good enough.
00:58:24Those two words were what he gave me most.
00:58:27Did you eat?
00:58:28Yes.
00:58:29I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
00:58:31Flight lands at 3.
00:58:32Okay.
00:58:33Your voice sounds off.
00:58:35I'm tired.
00:58:36Sleep early.
00:58:38Rye, the car's here.
00:58:39Coming.
00:58:41Hannah's calling me.
00:58:42I have to go.
00:58:42Why is she at your hotel?
00:58:43She's staying next door.
00:58:44We're just going out to eat.
00:58:45Every year?
00:58:45Our schedules happen to overlap.
00:58:47Don't overthink it.
00:58:47He smiled naturally,
00:58:48as if explaining something
00:58:49that did not need an explanation.
00:58:51Oh, I got you a fridge magnet.
00:58:52Took forever to pick one.
00:58:55Five years of love.
00:58:57Every souvenir I had ever received from Japan.
00:58:59Hannah got hot spring hotels,
00:59:01kimono experiences,
00:59:02birthday surprises,
00:59:03and a nickname only she could use.
00:59:06Cute, right?
00:59:07Hannah helped me pick it.
00:59:08Even the gift he bought for me
00:59:09had her fingerprints on it.
00:59:11I typed,
00:59:11What did you bring, Hannah?
00:59:12I replied with one word.
00:59:14Nice.
00:59:16Nice.
00:59:20Your fridge magnet.
00:59:24What's that?
00:59:25For Hannah.
00:59:25A scarf.
00:59:26She said she liked the patterns in Tokyo.
00:59:28Last winter,
00:59:29I told him I wanted a cashmere scarf.
00:59:31He said,
00:59:32Why buy another scarf?
00:59:34Don't you already have several?
00:59:36The several in my closet
00:59:37were all ones I had bought myself.
00:59:39You bought her a scarf?
00:59:41She asked.
00:59:42It was on the way.
00:59:43I'm dead tired.
00:59:44Four hour flight.
00:59:45When are you taking me to Japan?
00:59:48Why bring that up all of a sudden?
00:59:49It's not sudden.
00:59:50I've been asking for five years.
00:59:52When this busy stretch is over.
00:59:54Next time, I promise.
00:59:56Next time.
00:59:57The 17th next time.
00:59:59I said nothing more.
01:00:04Maya, is Ryan back, isn't he?
01:00:06He is, Mrs. Hale.
01:00:07You two need to hurry with the wedding.
01:00:09People keep asking me about invitations.
01:00:11We're still preparing.
01:00:13Hannah came by last week
01:00:14and helped me choose candy favors.
01:00:16She picked four flavors.
01:00:17See what you think.
01:00:18Hannah helped you choose them?
01:00:20Yes.
01:00:20She said you were busy with work
01:00:21and came over on her own.
01:00:23Such a thoughtful girl.
01:00:25Mrs. Hale,
01:00:25you can tell me about wedding details.
01:00:27You don't need to trouble her.
01:00:28Trouble?
01:00:28She comes over all the time.
01:00:30Three or four times a month.
01:00:32More often than you.
01:00:33In our second year together,
01:00:34I suggested visiting his mother every week.
01:00:37Ryan said,
01:00:38No need to go that often.
01:00:39My mom doesn't like the house too lively.
01:00:41So I changed it to once a month.
01:00:44Later, he said,
01:00:45You're busy.
01:00:46Once every two months is fine.
01:00:48So it wasn't that his mother disliked visitors.
01:00:50She disliked me visiting.
01:00:52Hannah came three or four times a month
01:00:53and no one found her annoying.
01:00:55Mrs. Hale,
01:00:56I'll handle the favors.
01:00:57All right.
01:00:58But the ones Hannah picked are really good.
01:01:00Use them as a reference.
01:01:02You asked Hannah to help your mother
01:01:04choose our wedding candy?
01:01:06She wanted to go herself.
01:01:08And you knew?
01:01:09Of course.
01:01:10My mom told me.
01:01:11Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:13What was there to say?
01:01:14She was just helping.
01:01:16Why is she helping with our wedding?
01:01:18Weren't you busy?
01:01:20When did I ever say that?
01:01:22You work late every day.
01:01:24I figured you didn't have time.
01:01:26Did you ask me?
01:01:28Fine, fine.
01:01:29From now on,
01:01:29you can do everything yourself.
01:01:30Satisfied?
01:01:34The impatience had arrived.
01:01:36It was always like this.
01:01:37First,
01:01:38don't overthink it.
01:01:40Then,
01:01:41what is there to say?
01:01:42Finally,
01:01:44fine,
01:01:44you're right about everything.
01:01:47Nothing was ever solved.
01:01:55Hannah's pot roast tastes just like mine.
01:01:59Hannah looked more at home in that kitchen than I ever had.
01:02:03She knew where the plates were,
01:02:05which drawer held the spices,
01:02:06what Mrs. Hale liked to eat.
01:02:08In five years,
01:02:09every time I visited,
01:02:10I had to ask.
01:02:11Because I went too rarely.
01:02:13Because Ryan said I didn't need to go often.
01:02:16Maya,
01:02:16let me be honest.
01:02:17I watched Hannah grow up.
01:02:19She and Ryan know each other inside out.
01:02:21You're a good girl,
01:02:22but you aren't very good at taking care of people.
01:02:24You should learn from Hannah.
01:02:28Why aren't you eating?
01:02:31I'm not hungry.
01:02:37What's that?
01:02:39Oh,
01:02:40this.
01:02:40Hannah's birthday gift.
01:02:42A necklace.
01:02:45Ryan's R.
01:02:48Custom made.
01:02:49Took two months.
01:02:51Our engagement ring had been bought online.
01:02:53When it arrived,
01:02:54he opened the package
01:02:55and slid it directly onto my finger.
01:02:58I wanted to choose one in a store.
01:03:00Rings are all the same.
01:03:01No need to make a trip.
01:03:04You had a necklace custom made for her?
01:03:07It's her birthday.
01:03:09Just something small.
01:03:11What did you give me on my birthday?
01:03:14Last year,
01:03:15I think I sent you money?
01:03:19You didn't.
01:03:21Then I forgot.
01:03:23I'll make it up next time.
01:03:25Next time.
01:03:27Always next time.
01:03:31Ryan,
01:03:32do you think what we have is normal?
01:03:34Why wouldn't it be?
01:03:36You custom order Hannah a necklace
01:03:38and buy me a fridge magnet.
01:03:40You celebrate her birthday
01:03:42and forget mine.
01:03:44You let her go to your mother's house
01:03:46while I don't even get the chance.
01:03:48Do you think that's normal?
01:03:52You're doing this again.
01:03:54Hannah and I grew up together.
01:03:56What's wrong with me being nice to her?
01:03:58What about me?
01:04:01Am I not good to you?
01:04:02We've dated for five years,
01:04:05bought a condo,
01:04:05and we're getting married.
01:04:07Isn't that enough?
01:04:08Maya,
01:04:08we don't need all that flashy stuff.
01:04:10A steady life matters more than anything.
01:04:13All that flashy stuff.
01:04:14Hot spring hotels were flashy.
01:04:17Custom necklaces were flashy.
01:04:19Birthday surprises were flashy.
01:04:21He gave all the flashy things to Hannah.
01:04:23What he left me was a steady life.
01:04:28You're right.
01:04:31Let's live steadily.
01:04:36The next day,
01:04:38Ryan's college friend Owen texted me.
01:04:40Maya,
01:04:40we're having a get-together Saturday.
01:04:42Are you coming?
01:04:43What get-together?
01:04:44Old classmates.
01:04:46Hannah will be there too.
01:04:47Hannah would be there too.
01:04:48Of course.
01:04:53The necklace Ryan had made.
01:04:55On her.
01:04:57Rye!
01:04:58Maya's here!
01:04:59Don't call her that like she's already family.
01:05:01They're not married yet.
01:05:02Set a date?
01:05:04We're still looking.
01:05:06Hannah's helped a lot, right?
01:05:07Your mom said she runs over all the time.
01:05:09She's just helpful.
01:05:10I'm only helping a little.
01:05:11Maya's so busy.
01:05:12She called me by name with such warmth,
01:05:13but my fiancé's custom necklace was sitting at her throat.
01:05:16Hannah,
01:05:16that's a gorgeous necklace.
01:05:18Who gave it to you?
01:05:20A friend.
01:05:21What kind of friend is that generous?
01:05:23It's custom, isn't it?
01:05:25I gave it to her.
01:05:26Birthday gift.
01:05:27I bought it casually.
01:05:28Casually.
01:05:30Two months for a custom order.
01:05:31And he called it casual.
01:05:33You bought one for your fiancé too, right?
01:05:35Maya doesn't like wearing things like that.
01:05:37It wasn't that I didn't like them.
01:05:39He had never bought me any,
01:05:40so he assumed I didn't like them.
01:05:42You don't mind, do you, Maya?
01:05:43No.
01:05:44You're so generous.
01:05:45Halfway through dinner,
01:05:46Owen started making trouble.
01:05:48Come on, let's test how well you know each other.
01:05:50Ryan, what's your fiancé's favorite flower?
01:05:52Roses?
01:05:53No.
01:05:53Lizianthus.
01:05:54Her birthday?
01:05:54March 9th?
01:05:56He got it right only after a pause.
01:05:57What is she most afraid of?
01:05:58She isn't afraid of anything.
01:06:00Maya's brave.
01:06:01I was afraid of the dark.
01:06:02I told him that our first year together.
01:06:04He had forgotten.
01:06:05Terrible.
01:06:06Hannah, your turn.
01:06:07What's Ryan's favorite coffee?
01:06:09Americano.
01:06:10Light sugar.
01:06:11Warm.
01:06:11What is he most afraid of?
01:06:13Thunder.
01:06:14When he was little,
01:06:15lightning hit a tree in his yard,
01:06:17and he cried.
01:06:18His catchphrase?
01:06:19Good enough.
01:06:21Hannah knows Ryan better than his fiancé.
01:06:23We've known each other ten years.
01:06:25Ten years.
01:06:25She had known him ten.
01:06:26I had known him five.
01:06:28She knew he was afraid of thunder.
01:06:29I didn't.
01:06:30It wasn't that I didn't want to know him.
01:06:32He had never told me.
01:06:34With me, every answer was whatever, anything,
01:06:36nothing worth telling.
01:06:38With Hannah,
01:06:38he lit up like a different person.
01:06:44Maya,
01:06:45I want to say something.
01:06:47Don't take it the wrong way.
01:06:49Say it.
01:06:50Rai can be careless,
01:06:51but he's not a bad man.
01:06:52Don't be too hard on him.
01:06:54I'm not.
01:06:56He told me you've been emotional lately,
01:06:58always getting upset over things about me.
01:07:01He had told Hannah about the problems between us.
01:07:03Maya,
01:07:04I'll be blunt.
01:07:06If you can't give him even this much trust,
01:07:10then what's the point of marrying him?
01:07:12He goes to Japan with you every year.
01:07:14What exactly am I supposed to trust?
01:07:17Those are business trips.
01:07:18Business trips don't happen in the same place every year,
01:07:21at the same hotel,
01:07:23photographing the same woman.
01:07:25Maya,
01:07:26Rai and I are friends.
01:07:28If you insist on imagining something else,
01:07:30that's your problem.
01:07:33By the way,
01:07:35for the living room wall in your condo,
01:07:37I suggested warm gray.
01:07:38Rai thinks it looks better than the cream white you chose.
01:07:41The living room wall.
01:07:43I had chosen cream white
01:07:44and watched the workers paint it twice.
01:07:47Ryan had not gone there once,
01:07:48but he had let Hannah give opinions,
01:07:50and he liked hers better than mine.
01:07:57What took so long?
01:07:59Washing my hands.
01:08:01Let's go.
01:08:01We'll drop Hannah off.
01:08:04Can't she go by herself?
01:08:06It's on the way.
01:08:09Hannah lived on the east side.
01:08:11We lived on the west side.
01:08:13On what planet was that on the way?
01:08:17You take her.
01:08:18I'll get a cab.
01:08:19Don't make a scene.
01:08:21Come on.
01:08:26Rai,
01:08:27remember this song?
01:08:28It played in that izakaya in Tokyo last year.
01:08:31I remember.
01:08:31You even sang along.
01:08:34In the back seat,
01:08:35I was an extra passenger.
01:08:40Maya,
01:08:41rest early.
01:08:42Rai,
01:08:43don't forget that thing next week.
01:08:44I know.
01:08:50What thing?
01:08:52Helping her move a cabinet.
01:08:54She can hire movers.
01:08:56Why waste money on that?
01:08:59Last year,
01:09:00I asked him to move one box of books for me.
01:09:03He said his back hurt
01:09:04and told me to hire movers.
01:09:07For Hannah's cabinet,
01:09:08he would go himself.
01:09:11Ryan,
01:09:12do you ever feel like you're better to Hannah
01:09:14than you are to me?
01:09:17She grew up with me.
01:09:18Being good to her is a habit.
01:09:20But you're the one I'm marrying.
01:09:22Isn't that enough?
01:09:25Enough.
01:09:29Ryan,
01:09:30can you stay home today?
01:09:32What's wrong?
01:09:33I want you to spend the day with me.
01:09:35Sure.
01:09:36I don't have plans anyway.
01:09:37Really?
01:09:38Really.
01:09:38What do you want to do?
01:09:39Nothing.
01:09:40Just stay home.
01:09:41Okay.
01:09:43Ryan.
01:09:44Hmm?
01:09:44Do you love me?
01:09:46Why ask that all of a sudden?
01:09:47I want to hear you say it once.
01:09:49I'm marrying you.
01:09:51What do you think?
01:09:52Marriage and love aren't the same thing.
01:09:54What's going on with you today?
01:09:55I just want to hear you say it.
01:09:57Maya,
01:09:58of course I-
01:09:59It's Hannah.
01:10:00Don't answer.
01:10:01Let me see.
01:10:02She says a pipe burst at her place.
01:10:03Water everywhere.
01:10:04She can call building maintenance.
01:10:06It's the weekend.
01:10:07Maintenance is off.
01:10:07Then she can call a plumber.
01:10:09By the time a plumber gets there,
01:10:10her apartment will be flooded.
01:10:11I'll go take a look.
01:10:12I'll be back soon.
01:10:13Ryan,
01:10:14you promised you wouldn't go out today.
01:10:17I know,
01:10:18but this is urgent.
01:10:19You always say that.
01:10:21A pipe burst.
01:10:22I can't just ignore it.
01:10:24What about me?
01:10:26What about you?
01:10:27You're fine.
01:10:29I was fine.
01:10:30He always thought I was fine.
01:10:32Hannah's burst pipe was urgent.
01:10:34My broken heart was not.
01:10:36In our first year together,
01:10:38when he confessed,
01:10:39he said,
01:10:40Maya,
01:10:40I want to spend my life with you.
01:10:42That day,
01:10:43he took me to a little western restaurant place
01:10:45and said we would come back every anniversary.
01:10:48He forgot the second year anniversary.
01:10:50In the third year,
01:10:51I reminded him and he said,
01:10:53It's just a bowl of noodles.
01:10:54Another day is the same.
01:10:55In the fourth and fifth years,
01:10:56I stopped mentioning it.
01:10:58He never remembered again.
01:11:00Go.
01:11:01One hour tops.
01:11:03I'll come back and be with you.
01:11:05Don't be mad.
01:11:08One hour passed.
01:11:10Then two.
01:11:11Then three.
01:11:15Almost done.
01:11:16The pipe's fixed,
01:11:16but there's water everywhere.
01:11:17I'm helping her mop.
01:11:18When are you coming back?
01:11:20Soon.
01:11:23Another hour passed.
01:11:25He texted,
01:11:27Hannah says thank you for letting me come.
01:11:29She's treating me to lunch.
01:11:30I'll head back after.
01:11:31I didn't reply.
01:11:33Then he sent,
01:11:34Eat first.
01:11:35Don't wait for me.
01:11:39I had asked whether he loved me.
01:11:41He never finished the sentence.
01:11:43Because Hannah's phone call mattered more than my question.
01:11:46I didn't actually own much in this home.
01:11:48One suitcase for clothes,
01:11:49half a suitcase for books and small things.
01:11:51On the bathroom counter,
01:11:52I had only a toothbrush and a bottle of cleanser.
01:11:55Hannah had more here than I did.
01:11:57Canvas shoes,
01:11:58a jacket,
01:11:59a mug,
01:11:59a tube of lipstick.
01:12:02Ryan,
01:12:02I canceled the condo.
01:12:04I'm returning the ring.
01:12:06I'm returning the five fridge magnets, too.
01:12:10Find someone else for the honeymoon.
01:12:12Hers.
01:12:13All of it.
01:12:14This home was full of Ryan and Hannah.
01:12:18My whole life here fit into two suitcases.
01:12:23Where to?
01:12:24The train station.
01:12:27Three hours later,
01:12:29the train arrived.
01:12:30In this new city,
01:12:31no one waited at the exit.
01:12:34This time,
01:12:35I didn't mind.
01:12:45I didn't mind.
01:12:46I didn't mind.
01:12:46I stopped doing the power.
01:12:46I didn't mind.
01:12:47By the way,
01:12:47I came out.
01:12:47I'm not paying for it.
01:12:47I'll be home to my house.
01:12:47I'll be here.
01:12:47Now I can student one fish studies.
01:12:47I'm not paying for it.
01:12:47I'm just putting my Chin in my hands.
01:12:47You
