00:00My name is Sho Goto. I'm a 22 year old ordinary office worker.
00:06My parents passed away when I was young, and my grandmother, who had been taking care of me, also passed away a week ago.
00:13I guess this is what they call lonely at the ends of the earth.
00:17It might be easier not having to worry about anyone or anything.
00:21But seriously, the smell has been intense for a while now.
00:26Ugh. Reeks.
00:28I'm sorry.
00:30The source must be that person, but I can't just ignore someone who's so blatantly struggling like that.
00:37Are you okay?
00:39I'm sorry.
00:41No need to apologize.
00:43You taking a proper bath or what?
00:46He's getting off at the next station. Please don't raise your voice.
00:51Acting all self-righteous.
00:54We soon reached the next station, and everything turned out fine, but...
00:59Um, thank you very much.
01:02No problem. I was getting off too.
01:04Your English is good. You're from overseas, right?
01:08I cannot let this debt go unpaid.
01:12Ah! Nothing!
01:15You must be hungry, thinking of having something to eat, but I had no money in my wallet.
01:21If you're okay with whatever I have at home, I can treat you.
01:24Thank you, but it's too much trouble.
01:27Is he being cautious? I understand his feelings, but I can't just leave him like this.
01:33Um, I'm Sho Gotou, and you are?
01:36Gotou? Are you by any chance Maya's grandson?
01:41Huh? How did you know my grandmother's name?
01:44I knew it! I used to live in Hawaii. Maya always treated me well.
01:49We used to exchange letters regularly.
01:52Letters? Could it be?
01:55The recipient of the love letters my grandmother sent to Hawaii?
02:00Before my grandmother passed away, she asked me to accompany her to the hospital and take care of things around the house.
02:07One of those things happened to be a love letter to Hawaii.
02:10When I'm gone, please send out this letter.
02:14Is this the usual angel honey?
02:17Exactly. I'm counting on you.
02:21I want to meet Maya. Where is she now?
02:24Uh, my grandmother passed away last week.
02:28What?
02:29I sent the letter, but it seems it missed you.
02:32I see. I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time.
02:37No, it's okay. Oh, by the way, could you pay respects at my grandmother's altar?
02:43She would appreciate it, I'm sure.
02:46After that, he agreed to pay his respects and we headed to my home together.
02:52Before paying respects, I will prepare some food, so please take a shower first.
02:58Is that okay? I feel like I'll make everything dirty.
03:02It's totally fine. You can also do the laundry. Just press this button and it's done.
03:07Thank you so much. It means a lot.
03:11Then, 30 minutes later, I prepared as much food as possible and set it on the table.
03:16This should do. I'm sure grandma would be happy if she could eat with us.
03:21Wow, it looks delicious.
03:23Ah, you're done with the shower?
03:26Yes, thank you very much.
03:29Huh?
03:30Japanese baths are the best, but the pants were too big so I couldn't wear them.
03:36Who is this person? How did she get in? Did I forget to lock the door?
03:41Huh? Um, what's wrong?
03:45No, well, don't stare. Wait! Oh, right. What about the person from earlier?
03:52Oh, Sho!
03:54Whoa!
03:55Watch out!
03:56Oh, no! I'm going to hit my head!
04:00Sho, are you okay?
04:03Sorry, I was drying the towel here.
04:06Towel? Wait, so you're…
04:09I'm Yuria. We were just together a moment ago.
04:12Oh, you're a woman.
04:15After the confusion, we ate together and I decided to listen to Yuria's story.
04:21Sorry for surprising you. The thing is, I lost all my belongings. I've been living on the street.
04:27But it's dangerous for a homeless foreign woman, right?
04:31When you think of my country, you think of disguising.
04:36So, Maya told me that and I disguised myself as a man.
04:40I can picture Grandma giving her clever advice.
04:43The girl named Yuria is a 22-year-old American Japanese living in Hawaii.
04:50She seems to have been a beloved student of my grandmother when she worked as a dance instructor there for six months two years ago.
04:58Maya was like my grandma and best friend.
05:01Even when my grandma passed away, she still managed to lift my spirits despite her own pain.
05:06After she left Hawaii, she kept sending me letters.
05:09I thought my angel Honey was my grandmother's lover.
05:14Maya was quite popular.
05:17I read in her letters that her health wasn't great lately.
05:21I wanted to meet her, even briefly, so I came here with the address from the letters.
05:26Meeting you, Sho, was a relief.
05:28With my belongings, I lost the letter too.
05:32I was searching on the train with only some coins in my pocket, relying on my memory.
05:37Sho, thank you so much.
05:40The food was delicious. I was happy to eat with Grandma.
05:44No problem. Oh, right. Grandma is over here.
05:48Maya, it's Yuria. I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time.
05:55She cares so much about Grandma.
05:59Please feel free to use it.
06:01Sho, thank you.
06:03No, thank you. Thank you for caring about Grandma. It's really heartwarming.
06:09Hey, Sho, are you okay?
06:12Huh? What do you mean?
06:14Was it tough for you, dealing with everything? Losing family is hard.
06:20You have such a sad expression right now.
06:24I'm fine. I've finally settled down, and I can take it easy now.
06:29Huh? What's happening? Why can't I stop crying?
06:34Sho, you don't have to stop.
06:38It was tough. You did your best.
06:45Grandma... Granny...
06:48There, there. It's okay now.
06:51Embarrassingly, I couldn't stop the overflowing tears.
06:55And somehow, it seems I fell asleep like that.
06:59My eyelids feel heavy. How much did I cry?
07:03Hmm, this isn't a cover.
07:09Yuria! Yuria!
07:11Good morning, Sho!
07:13S-S-S...
07:14Su?
07:16Sorry!
07:18Huh? Why are you apologizing?
07:20Spending the night with a girl outside of marriage is the height of impropriety!
07:25Oh, you seem like a samurai.
07:28I'll do anything to make up for it!
07:31Oh, I'm not bothered. Anyway...
07:34I want to stay here for a while.
07:36Huh?
07:38I have no money or anything, and I'm in trouble. Just until I save some money.
07:42Also, I want to repay you for helping me. Please!
07:46Is that really okay?
07:48Yes, if you're okay with it.
07:50She doesn't seem like a bad person,
07:53and staying alone in the house where Grandma used to be is still hard for me.
07:57I'm fine with it.
07:59Really?
08:01Yay! Thank you, Sho!
08:03Let's become friends!
08:06We'll create lots of fun memories together!
08:09This is a bit unexpected, but it's not bad.
08:12I wonder why.
08:14And so, my life with Yuria began.
08:19Living together, I discovered that Yuria values conversations a lot.
08:23During meals, she always...
08:26Hey, Sho! How was your day?
08:29It was sunny outside, right? What did you have for lunch?
08:32Um, just regular food, I guess.
08:35Regular? What do you mean?
08:38Well, nothing special, I guess.
08:40Nothing special? Your words are tricky.
08:44Um, anyway, it was just a typical day.
08:48There's no such thing as a typical day.
08:51So close!
08:54Each day is precious, you know? There's always something changing.
08:58Even if you say that...
09:00Oh, by the way, I saw orange flowers blooming in the station flowerbed,
09:05and they reminded me of you.
09:07Wow! How lovely! Did you think of me?
09:11Well, not exactly. I just thought they were beautiful.
09:15You were healed by the flowers! I'm happy to know the various worlds you see, Sho.
09:20Is that so?
09:21Yes, it is.
09:23Hmm...
09:25After that, I found myself wanting to share happy and interesting things with Yuria.
09:30One day, about two weeks into our shared life, something happened.
09:35Hey, you eating? We brought food!
09:38We're here to hang out, Sho!
09:41Both of you... came?
09:43Sorry for showing up suddenly.
09:45We've been holding back, thinking maybe you want to be alone for a while.
09:49But we thought you might need a change of pace soon.
09:52Thank you.
09:54It's all good. We're buddies.
09:57Sho, guests?
09:59Y-Yuria!
10:01Huh?
10:02Um, she's actually...
10:04Sho!
10:05That's great!
10:07Congratulations!
10:09Huh?
10:10You got yourself a girlfriend, huh? Nice one, you sly dog!
10:15You're looking after him, huh? Anything you want to know about him, just ask!
10:20Really? Tell me, tell me!
10:23Of course!
10:24I know everything from A to Z!
10:27Wait a minute! What are you planning to tell her? Stop it!
10:32No! It's a chance to get to know Sho better, you know!
10:35Huh?
10:37I want to know everything about you!
10:39What do you mean by everything?
10:42Like his birthday!
10:46Yeah, and he got rejected by his first love because his clothes were unfashionable!
10:52Oh my, oh my!
10:54Please stop!
10:57Passing by the part-time job we started right after moving in!
11:01Hello, hello!
11:03Oh, she's using a loud voice!
11:06Yuria, I need some Chinese cabbage!
11:09Sure thing! Thank you as always!
11:12You're always so lively! Are you interested in meeting my son?
11:17Oh, stop it!
11:19Ah, Sho!
11:20Huh?
11:22Oh, is this the rumored boyfriend?
11:25Wow, it's Yuria's! Or rather, it's the boy from Maya's place!
11:30Oh my, you've grown so much! So when's the wedding?
11:34Boyfriend? Wedding?
11:37Sho is wonderful and kind!
11:40Oh!
11:42I'm going home now!
11:44Wait, Sho!
11:46Let's go home together! I'll be ready in a moment!
11:50Okay!
11:51Today, I got some delicious tomatoes!
11:54Is that so?
11:56Let's eat them with cucumbers! And some noodles too!
11:59Sure!
12:01Why are we even holding hands?
12:03Despite the chaotic days, I realized that I was drawn to Yuria, who helped me find happiness in everyday life!
12:12Around one month after Yuria started living with me...
12:15Whoa, that's a lot of snacks!
12:18Oh, they're from Maya's friends! They're all really kind to me!
12:22They tell me about the Maya I didn't know, and it's fun! They're really nice people!
12:27I see, but that's...
12:30Huh?
12:31Because you're a good person, right?
12:34Huh?
12:35The initial reason might be my grandmother, but talking with you is always enjoyable for everyone! It makes us feel happy and cheerful!
12:44Is that so?
12:46Hmm... At least, that's how I feel.
12:49Ah!
12:50Uh-oh, did I just let out my true feelings?
12:54Geez! Shou, you're saying such nice things!
12:58Come on, have some more sweets!
13:01Whoa!
13:04Ah! This... I need to distance myself quickly!
13:08You're really kind, Shou!
13:11Yuria... Could it be that Yuria also...
13:15Sorry, got carried away!
13:19Huh?
13:20I'll be more careful next time. Good night, Shou! See you tomorrow!
13:24Uh, yeah, see you tomorrow!
13:27Right, Yuria staying with me is just returning the favor for my grandmother.
13:32But she's only doing it because she's my grandmother's friend. What's the point in having expectations like that?
13:39With these thoughts in mind, the next day, I handed Yuria an envelope.
13:45There should be enough money for you to go back home.
13:48Huh? What's going on? Why are you giving me money all of a sudden? I can manage on my own.
13:54Once I get my living expenses and part-time job pay, I'll pay you back properly.
13:59Uh...
14:00I can't accept this money.
14:02It's okay. It's from my grandmother's inheritance. I'm sure she'd be happy if it helped send you back home.
14:09Shou, what's wrong? If there's something bothering you, tell me.
14:14There's nothing. I just felt like I've burdened you all this time just because I'm my grandmother's grandson.
14:21I'm really sorry. I'm fine now.
14:24You're unbelievable. Are you willingly isolating yourself like this?
14:30Huh?
14:31Did I ever say I want to go back? You're totally off.
14:35What are you talking about?
14:37Don't you dare think that way. I'll teach you properly. Brave yourself.
14:42You mean, brace yourself?
14:45Men don't fuss about little things. Don't leave this room. Be right back.
14:49Wait, she left. I don't want to cause any more trouble, but...
14:55After that, waiting for about 30 minutes...
14:58She told me to wait. Where could she have gone?
15:04What's that sound? Hey, what on earth is she doing?
15:09Ah!
15:10What? Could something have happened to Yuria?
15:14Yuria, are you okay?
15:17Happy birthday!
15:19What?
15:20Happy birthday, Shou!
15:22What? Why is everyone...
15:26Today is your birthday. We have to have a party.
15:31How did you know?
15:33I was told by a friend.
15:35Hey, Shou, you're not alone. There are many people who care about you.
15:40But...
15:42You're really stubborn, just like Maya said.
15:45Huh?
15:46After that, Yuria told me little by little.
15:51Apparently, when she was in Hawaii, she heard about me from her grandmother.
15:56Hey, what kind of person is your grandson? Is he around the same age as me?
16:01He's a very kind and considerate boy.
16:04But he's a bit awkward because he's not good at expressing his emotions.
16:08Awkward? Even with his own feelings?
16:14There are people like that, you know?
16:17He might not know how to grieve if he loses me.
16:20But I believe he'll be fine because he's strong at heart.
16:25But at times like that, if a girl like you were around, that'd be something.
16:32Grandma, saying such things...
16:35I've always wondered what kind of person you were.
16:38I came here to meet Maya, but meeting you was also something I looked forward to, you know?
16:44When I met you, you were really kind and a good person.
16:48And just as Maya said, you were not good at expressing your feelings.
16:52So you stayed by my side?
16:55At first, yes.
16:57But after seeing your smile, wanting to talk more, wanting to stay close became my thought.
17:03The closest.
17:06Sho, I really like you. I love you.
17:10That kiss just now?
17:13Yes, I did. Didn't I say see you tomorrow yesterday?
17:17If you think of me, like me, and I'll be really happy.
17:21I'm sorry for everything.
17:23I love you, Yuria.
17:25I love you, too.
17:29Congratulations!
17:31May you be happy!
17:34As time passed...
17:36So, Sho is getting married today!
17:39That's great!
17:41Thank you, both of you.
17:43Um, thanks for always being by my side. I appreciate it.
17:49What's with you? So embarrassing.
17:52Our friendship is eternal!
17:55That's not fair.
17:57Yuria, you're incredibly beautiful.
18:00I thought I might be the number one. Am I wrong?
18:03Of course you're the number one!
18:06Really?
18:08Then, swear to Maya. Promise to be happy with me forever.
18:12Yes, let's be happy together.
18:15I wasn't alone from the beginning.
18:18She, my dearest, made me realize that.
18:21Cherishing each day, let's spend another happy moment together today.
