00:00I'm Shota. My mother's what you call a toxic mother. My father died before I could even remember.
00:08Here, use this to go eat.
00:10Okay. I have no memory of being loved by my mother. All I remember is always receiving a thousand yen from her.
00:18I got sick of my mother and left the house after graduating from high school.
00:23A few months later, as I got back from work, my mother had an unknown little girl waiting for me.
00:29Who is that girl?
00:31This is my new daughter. She's your sister too, so take care of her.
00:36What? What's this all of a sudden? Why do I have to take care of her?
00:41Oh. She looked at me with sad eyes that made me freeze mid-sentence.
00:47This is my new husband's daughter.
00:50Tch. Again? My mother hurried off.
00:53What's your name?
00:55Sana.
00:57Sana was a small, thin, unkempt girl. I was surprised to hear she was in second grade.
01:04My mother was a lazy woman. When I was living with her, she often had me take care of children from our parents' former marriages.
01:11Shota, again please.
01:13Okay. When I was younger, it was better than being alone because it drowned out the loneliness.
01:19But when I was in junior high...
01:21Shota, take care of them.
01:23You'll just break up soon anyway. Why even get married? What did these guys see in her?
01:29I was more angry than surprised.
01:32So, a life with me and Sana began where I saw Sana off to her elementary school and then rushed to work every day.
01:39Take care.
01:41At first, I got the feeling she was scared of me. But when I cooked and we ate meals together, she ate it happily.
01:48How's my hamburger steak? Do you like it?
01:54Life wasn't easy, but I cooked for her and helped with her studies.
01:58I guess she'd gotten used to it because when we slept, she clung to me and acted like a spoiled kid.
02:04When she was in elementary school, she used to carry a kaiketsu celery book with her.
02:09She read the book over and over again in the corner of the room.
02:12You like kaiketsu celery, huh? Want me to get you one of those books for your birthday?
02:18Sana seemed like a girl who was not good at talking.
02:22Sana didn't express in words, but I could kind of tell that she wanted to live with her parents.
02:27I felt like I at least wanted her to live a normal life at my place.
02:32Then, the day before a field trip.
02:35What do you want in your lunchbox for the field trip?
02:37Octopus hot dogs and rolled omelets.
02:40She's such a cute girl. I won't make anyone think she's ignored.
02:45I worked really hard to make a lunch for Sana.
02:48Four years were about to pass and Sana came.
02:51I asked her mother what to do about her going into junior high, and then her father visited me.
02:57Is Sana doing okay?
03:00Yeah, she's taking a bath right now.
03:03I've already applied for her junior high school, so please take care of the rest.
03:08Well, that's all he said, then handed me money and left.
03:13There were a lot of things I wanted to tell him about Sana, but I couldn't put them into words.
03:20You should want to see her for a second!
03:23He might be rich, but just marrying my mother made me think he's a bad person.
03:28Sana might be happier without her parents.
03:31Sana started helping with housework when she was in eighth grade.
03:34I'll do the dishes.
03:36That's helpful.
03:37We'd lived together for four years, but we didn't talk very much.
03:41It felt a little bit lonely, but I figured everything was fine.
03:46Or so I thought, because then we had a conversation.
03:50Shota, I need some money.
03:52What for?
03:53Oh!
03:54I always gave her money for food, but never gave her any pocket money.
03:58I'm sorry, I didn't notice.
04:01It's alright, don't worry about it.
04:04She was saving the food money I gave her to buy daily necessities.
04:08That's why she only has simple clothes.
04:11She couldn't afford to dress up.
04:13I was even thinking like, she's pretty, she should dress more nicely.
04:18Sorry, I'm such a bad brother.
04:20When I get into high school, I'll work and get some more money for us.
04:24Thanks, but don't push yourself.
04:27I want Sana to live a normal life.
04:30I'm her brother, but I'm also her father.
04:33Abandoning such a nice girl?
04:35Are they really parents?
04:37Since then, we started talking more.
04:40Around the time she entered high school.
04:42You dress nicely lately, you got a boyfriend?
04:45No, I just want to take good care of my appearance.
04:49Do you have a girlfriend?
04:51Around that time, I was busy with work and sometimes got home late.
04:55But Sana made dinner for me, which made me happy.
04:58One day, Sana and I had an argument.
05:02I'm not going to college.
05:04After I graduate from high school, I'll get a job.
05:07You don't need to worry about any of that.
05:09We have money for you to go to college.
05:12Sana's father always sent money when her important life events came up.
05:16But a parent who only sends money?
05:20I don't have anything I want to study at college.
05:23I want to get a job and be able to support myself.
05:26You're good at studying. It'd be a waste.
05:29You can just find what you want when you're in school.
05:31Sana stubbornly refused to go into college, and I decided to respect her decision.
05:37Sana graduated from high school and got a good job.
05:40That same year when I came home from work, she suddenly kneeled on the ground in a bow and said,
05:45Shota, thank you for always taking care of me.
05:48I don't want to see you as my brother anymore.
05:51I'm in love with you. Will you marry me?
05:54What?
05:56What? But...
05:58We're brother and sister.
06:00Look here.
06:02While I was still caught up in her confession, she showed me a paper.
06:05A family registry?
06:08I looked at the paper and realized that my mother and Sana's father weren't married.
06:13For real?
06:15Then...
06:16We're not siblings.
06:18I've been taking care of a girl who's not related to me.
06:22Really?
06:23She's not my sister?
06:25Her love confession and not my sister reveal was a double punch that left my head scrambled.
06:30Since then, it got uncomfortable being at home.
06:34If you don't marry me, I'll be alone forever.
06:40I don't want to marry anyone but Shota.
06:44Sana cried every day and kept approaching me.
06:49I thought about it, but I can't see you as a partner for marriage.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:55Yeah, I was always your sister.
06:58I'll leave this house soon.
07:00And then, Sana left the house.
07:03A gaping hole opened in my heart.
07:05I thought about moving, but it might have made her visit me, so I decided not to.
07:11Five years later, I started to forget about Sana.
07:14Around that time, I started to like this one woman.
07:17One karaage bento.
07:20Thank you as always.
07:22Near my workplace, a boxed lunch shop had opened recently,
07:25and there was a wonderful woman who managed the shop alone.
07:29She got into my heart through my stomach, and I went there every day.
07:33Six months later, I made up my mind and waited for the shop to close.
07:38Hi, sorry for this all of a sudden.
07:41But, would you go to dinner with me sometime?
07:45I knew this was a bad idea.
07:47No, you can't tell.
07:49It's me, Sana.
07:51Huh?
07:52You haven't noticed at all.
07:54I thought you'd realize from my voice though.
07:57Now that I think about it,
07:59the person I came to like is...
08:02Sana?
08:03I must look like a stalker.
08:06It was just a coincidence that there was a good property here.
08:10After I left your house,
08:12I dated a few other guys,
08:14but I couldn't forget about you.
08:17I pulled her close to myself as she cried and talked.
08:20I like the taste of your karaage.
08:23Let's get married.
08:24Yeah.
08:25There's no one else who would think as much of me as her.
08:28That's what I thought.
08:30Later, Sana and I visited our parents to announce our marriage.
08:35Oh, where's Sana's father?
08:38I broke up with him a while ago.
08:41Don't know where he is.
08:43You guys do whatever you want.
08:45That's all?
08:46My mother's reaction was disappointing and not what we expected.
08:51But I guess I hadn't expected much at all from her since I was little.
08:55When I remembered and thought about it,
08:57I decided not to be a parent like either of them.
09:00I'll make a loving home together with Sana.
09:20You
