Dear Sister
Subtitles by DramaFever
Where are you off to?
My check-up with the ob-gyn.
Didn't you say you would find out the
sex of the baby at the next visit?
Yes, probably.
Wait! I'm going too! Wait for me!
Ow! I hit my toe!
You left my skateboard here, didn't you?
Calm down!
Wow! The image is so clear!
- Right?
- So cute!
The baby's moving a lot today, maybe
because you're here, Eight.
Probably wants to meet Daddy soon.
Oh.
We can't say for sure until the baby's
born, but I think you have a girl.
A girl?
A girl...
I like a classic and feminine name.
Like Haruka, or maybe Kotone.
Suzu? No, Momo?
You dropped this.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Bye!
Misaki!
If I win my upcoming competition...
- Oh no!
- I'm so sorry!
Never mind. I'm going to practice.
Be careful on the way home.
What are you doing?
Hi Misaki, I'm fine.
I can't believe you found these!
Back when we wrote these, we weren't
really thinking about death,
it was more things we wanted to
experience when we grew up.
I guess.
We'd probably come up with completely
different lists now.
But isn't that what you write
down in your notebook?
- Misaki?
- It was a girl.
What?
The baby.
You found out the sex?
Yes, probably.
You're having a girl!
I can't wait!
Me too.
If she ever has a little sister, please
don't give them unfair names,
like Hazuki and Misaki.
What's unfair about Hazuki and Misaki?
Misaki means 'to bloom beautifully,' but
Hazuki is 'the moon when the leaves fall.'
I wasn't even born in Hazuki (lunar
calendar August), it doesn't make sense!
'Moon when the leaves fall'?
Hazuki is the month when the rice
is ready for harvest.
What?
They wanted you to grow,
like the bountiful harvest.
Also, Hazuki is August under the
lunar calendar,
but under the solar calendar, Hazuki
lasts until the beginning of October.
You're kidding.
I had no idea, for thirty years.
Why didn't you think to ask Mom?
Because I had no clue!
I think you've wasted a lot of energy
your entire life with mistakes like this.
Don't laugh! Why didn't you tell me!
You're so funny!
You always make me laugh, Hazuki.
Are you eating properly?
I am!
I'm cooking everyday, so I'm getting
better at it too!
All right.
You're not coming home soon?
I'll stay here just a little longer.
Eight's skateboarding competition is
coming up, and I want to stay with him.
I see.
What is this?
Hmm?
This was supposed to be a present
to congratulate your new job,
but I was a little late.
Shoes! They're so cute!
Thank you so much!
I need to thank you.
This. I was very pleased.
[Make Hazuki happy]
You're so simple-minded.
Is that a problem?
Not really.
- I want to wear these now!
- Let me help you.
How do I unzip these?
Give it to me, did you
take the stuffing out?
Hey!
You can leave me here.
Give my best to Eito-kun.
Okay.
- Hey old man, be careful!
- I'm sorry.
Walk faster!
Hazuki...that man.
Look.
Shibukawa-san?
Please come through!
Um...Shibukawa-san...
Nanae-chan.
I'm so sorry.
I desperately needed that money.
That's why...
I did something horrible to you.
I'll pay you back the money, even if
takes the rest of my life to do so.
I'm sorry.
Mom, you don't need to forgive him.
Misaki's right.
Shibukawa-san, what you did is a crime.
That's right!
I understand.
So please, report me to the police.
I told many lies to Nanae-chan.
But the one truthful thing I told her is
that I was alone and lonely.
Living alone or being in jail would not
make much of a difference.
Please.
Report me.
[Shinagawa Central Police Station]
Nanae-chan?
What happened after that?
I don't know, I told her that the two
of them should talk things over.
I see...ow!
Oh. Good morning.
Hirose-san? Wait, did you come with her?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me!
Jogging is important girl talk time, so
I told him to keep his distance.
What do you want?
- Kazu-chan...
- You didn't see me behind you.
I heard you went to see
Kazu-chan's parents.
Yes.
My dad thought he was arrogant
and got angry.
What?
He's going through a
personality makeover.
- I'll go home first.
- Uh huh.
- See you again.
- Yes.
- Bye!
- Bye.
He sure loves you a lot, Kazu-chan!
He's actually pretty meek, he just
puts on an act and seems arrogant.
I see.
I am careful to stay accepting of love,
unlike you.
I'm not accepting of love?
What? Of course you are.
Otherwise you would never turn down
someone that loves you so much.
Are you going to marry that girl?
No.
But she's pregnant with
your child, right?
She doesn't want my help or my name
on the birth certificate.
She wrecked both of our lives.
- How selfish can she be?
- Takako.
Our divorce has nothing to do with her.
What do you mean?
My life has come to a stop
since that day.
That girl ruined my life.
[Invitation to Ryo's
Wedding Dress Showing]
[I'll be waiting, honey
- Ryo]
I'm sorry to drag you here, I didn't
have the nerve to show up alone.
What are you talking about?
I'm happy to just think of this as
a date, please don't worry.
All right.
You're here.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
It's been a while.
How could you?
You're dating a handsome man like this?
Nice to meet you, my name is Hagiwara.
I like you.
Hey, you wouldn't have any friends
that look like you?
I'm afraid not.
Oh come on, this way.
Come.
This dress.
This dress...
Right. It's your design.
It's called 'Hazuki'!
Yes.
'Hesitation of the unknown future shows
through the beauty.'
'The long train symbolizes the bright
hope that overcomes such fears,
in this classic dress.'
The one last piece wouldn't come to me.
A bit mortifying to admit I needed the
help, but I used one of your designs.
I'm so flattered that you made the
dress to look so beautiful.
This is going to be an amazing memory.
Thank you so much.
Are you talking in your sleep?
You're going to make the next
dress yourself.
What a slow girl!
I'm telling you to come back and
design dresses!
Are you doing it, or not?
Which is it!
I'll do it! Please let me!
It smells really good in here!
What are you cooking?
What is it?
I got it!
Katsu donburi, because 'katsu'
means to win!
You got it!
You need to win tomorrow!
There's no way I'll lose if
I eat katsu.
Oh, it's my phone, will you
get it for me? Who is it?
Your sister.
What does she say?
'One of my designs has become a dress
for the very first time.'
'I've also been hired as an
apprentice designer.'
'I've finally made it to this point.
I'm going to do my best!'
This is amazing!
Look!
It's named 'Hazuki.'
It's beautiful, don't you think?
Wow...
What number are you?
Number 12, so I'll be on at 11 o'clock
at the earliest.
Then maybe I'll go kill some time.
I think that would be better.
Stay somewhere warm.
I know.
All athletes finished with registration,
please come to the athlete tent.
- You better go.
- Yes.
Good luck.
I'll go now.
See you!
That girl ruined my life.
Takako!
Soichiro-san...
- What are you doing?
- Let me go. Let me go!
What is this going to accomplish?
I can't let that girl be the only one
to be happy!
Stop.
Are you all right?
Call an ambulance!
Soichiro-san... somebody help!
I sponsor this competition!
Wow, that's so impressive!
Oh, that guy's a 10!
Saionji Construction builds dreams too.
Ha ha!
Hey.
Good morning.
- How are you feeling?
- Great!
[Eito: I'm almost up.
Are you in the audience?]
[Misaki: I am!! I have the best seat!!!!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!]
That's too many exclamation points.
Eito. Enjoy it out there.
Yes!
- I sponsor this competition.
- We got it.
- Mmm, this is good.
- That guy's disappointing, a 5.
Good job! On to our next competitor!
Entry number 12!
It's Sakuraba Eito!
Will we finally see him earn his
hard fought victory?
The floor is yours!
- I'm Saionji, the sponsor.
- Mmm!
Go! Go!
I didn't know I drove your wife
into thinking that was her only option...
It's not your fault.
But it is, I ruined your life.
That's why I had decided I would never
cause you trouble or ask for help.
Takako and I had already started
to talk about divorce
before that night we spent together
when you were in high school.
But after that scandal, Takako changed
her mind and said she would stay with me.
All it did was postpone the divorce.
I'm glad your sister deleted the text
I sent you the day you graduated.
If I had seen you then, it might
have caused you more harm.
I'm sorry I've been following you around.
I'm sure you don't like me anymore.
That's not true.
My feelings for you now haven't
changed all these years, since we met.
You're calm and sensitive.
You listen to all the dumb things
I have to say.
You're still the caring Soichiro-san
I've always known.
I'm going back to Eight now.
Bye.
Takako and I, we were never
blessed with a baby.
That's why I wanted to raise this baby
with you, together.
I wanted to do my life over, with you.
Misaki?
Misaki!
Misaki! Somebody help!
Please!
Misaki!
Are you all right?
What happened?
She's medicated right now.
Misaki...Misaki...
Misaki-san has Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus.
Her immune system mistakenly attacks
her own body and causes inflammation.
Misaki-san has been regularly treated
after being diagnosed 7 years ago.
Seven years? That long?
Her symptoms were worst from age 20
to 22, and she was admitted twice.
Difficult treatments continued
for a year.
She then found out she was pregnant.
This is Dr. Takahashi, her ob-gyn.
Her pregnancy itself is going very well.
But pregnancy may exacerbate the
risks of SLE.
I see...and what is her condition now?
Is her life in danger?
No. Not for now.
Not for now?
Is there a possibility in the future
that her life would be in danger?
In the worst case, the baby or even her
life may be at risk.
- Soichiro!
- Eito.
How's Misaki?
She's sleeping in her room.
Misaki...
Eito-kun.
Hazuki-san.
It's my fault.
I asked myself everyday if I should
break the promise I made Misaki
and tell you and your mother
about Misaki's illness.
To think that this happened before
I could make my judgment...
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault, Eito-kun.
It's Misaki's fault.
Hazuki...
But it is!
To take such a big matter into her
own hands for years.
She even decided to have the
baby on her own.
She never considers the people around
her in her decisions.
Why...why didn't she tell me?
Am I so insignificant?
Mr. Sakuraba, is your injury
taken care of?
Yes.
Then wouldn't you mind leaving now?
We can take care of my daughter.
Please leave us.
Hazuki...
Misaki!
You fainted at the hospital,
do you remember?
Oh, right.
I heard about your illness.
Are you still going to have the baby?
Of course I am!
What kind of question is that?
You were so happy when you heard
about my pregnancy!
I don't want to ask you this either.
But everything is over if you die.
I won't die.
It's not in your hands!
I know. But I won't die.
I don't want to die!
It's my dream to birth and raise
a healthy baby.
It's the decision I made,
to lead the life I want.
After I got diagnosed, I was in and out
of the hospital, and it was hard.
But after I got pregnant,
everything changed.
I had hope, saw the future,
for the very first time.
So please. Let me have this baby.
Misaki...
If something happens to me, you're the
only one I can count on.
I wrote in that notebook, imagining
the future for my baby.
I wanted you to be happy,
for the sake of this child too.
But whatever my intentions were, I still
had no right to try to change your life.
I'm so sorry.
What does your child's future and my
happiness have to do with each other?
I wanted her to be raised by someone
that was happy with their own lives.
Why did you try to make me quit my job?
Of course I understand that it wasn't
mentally healthy to stay and work
with my ex-fiance and the woman
he cheated on me with.
But I would have had a much more
stable salary to raise children on.
I have much more respect for someone
that's doing what they want, rather than
a safe job they're unhappy with,
regardless of income.
I have to admit that I was angry at
first over you messing with everything.
But now that I think about it, all the
decisions were mine to make.
What?
I called off my engagement.
My relationship with Hagiwara-san.
I quit my government job.
It was all on my own accord.
That's why I don't regret anything.
It was all due to everything that I now
got a step in to my dream job.
Thank you.
Hazuki...
You always have a knack for
complicating things.
It's the only way I know.
Are you going to settle down once
you have the baby?
Hmm...
I can't wait to see you as a mom.
Me too.
Misaki!
Mom...
Misaki!
How do you feel? Any pain?
- I'm okay.
- Good good.
- I'm sorry I made you worry.
- Dummy! That's not an issue.
Everything's all right.
Sorry Eito-kun, do you mind staying
here for a little longer?
Of course.
I'll take my mom home, then come back
with clothes and necessities.
All right.
Oh, may I borrow your key?
I'll bring Misaki's belongings that
she has at your house.
Oh right, thank you.
I'll be fine here,
please take your time.
Thank you.
Mom? Let's go.
You won?
Wow! Congratulations!
[1st Place]
After the awards ceremony when I heard
my brother's voicemail,
I thought my heart would stop.
I didn't feel alive until
I saw your face.
I'm sorry.
I'm so happy you were okay.
Really happy.
Sorry.
I love you.
Me too.
Misaki?
Hmm?
Let's get married.
I'll protect you, and your baby.
I want you to let me be by your side.
Will you be all right alone?
Hazuki-chan.
How is she?
Hagiwara-san.
Can you do something for me?
Your tests look a lot better.
I'm so relieved!
But the next time your symptoms worsen,
you risk not only your own
but your baby's life as well.
It's absolutely crucial that you
get plenty of rest.
My mother and I will take
good care of her.
Take care.
Oops, sorry!
I'm fine!
[Closed for a Private Party]
Hazuki-chan, put that there...ow!
- Sorry.
- Yohei, you're in the way!
Be more careful, your side
looks terrible!
- Is it?
- Pay attention!
She's here!
She's here, she's here...
Hello!
Come here!
Wow!
Misaki-chan, welcome home!
Thank you!
Wow, these are beautiful!
Thank you!
This is for you.
It's a letter! Can I open it?
Sure.
'Misaki-chan, welcome home.
I love you!'
You're too cute! Thank you so much!
Hello!
Mom's here!
Thank you everybody.
I wanted to cook something for
everyone too...what are you doing?
Hurry up and come in!
Hello everyone.
Mom, what is this?
We punish the crime, and
not the person themselves.
He's shown that he's sorry, so us two
lonely birds are going to help each other.
Shibukawa-san, why don't you
leave that here?
I'll help you.
I was embarrassed to bring this to such
a fancy restaurant...
Wow! Red bean rice and rice cakes!
It looks delicious!
Let's plate this too!
Yes, Shunsuke-kun and Tota-kun,
can you get a plate?
Yes, we'll go get a plate.
I'll be leaving now.
What! So fast?
I'm just in charge of her luggage.
Enjoy the party.
Yes, thank you. I'll be home for dinner.
I'll be going now.
Thank you.
All right! Let's get ready!
Are you living together?
Of course!
Of course?
Hazuki! Give it up and let Mom be.
Right. Don't worry Hazuki, I won't
regret it, whatever happens.
I'm not going to drink with you
next time.
Why can't we have drinks?
You like to drink too!
Everybody sit down, let's start!
Where should I sit down?
To congratulate Misaki-chan coming home
from the hospital, cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you!
Everything looks so good!
May I start eating?
Of course!
Everybody dig in!
Let's eat!
Huh?
Dummy!
Oh, right!
We told everyone else already...
but the two of us are going
to get married.
What?
Really, Hazuki?
It took a long time but I finally have
the job I always wanted.
I can finally be positive about
my future.
Also, that wedding location
that Misaki reserved?
We hadn't canceled it yet because it
seemed too good to waste.
- Ha..Ha..Hazuki...
- A Christmas Eve wedding?
Yes.
Wow, that's so soon,
do you have enough time?
The wedding will be really simple.
All we really need is to have everyone
here get together for us.
How about your dress?
I'm making it!
Actually I've already started.
Hazuki, that's been your dream
since you were little!
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Ow!
If you don't make her happy, I'll hate
you forever, brother.
You don't have to tell me...brother?
You're going to be my brother.
Wait, when you two get married, I'll
get two brothers, a sister,
and so many cute nephews!
I'm so happy!
Brother...I like that.
You're so simple-minded.
Don't worry, she is too.
- Hey, one more time.
- What?
- One more time.
- What, you want me to say brother?
- One more time.
- What, grandfather?
- You just said grandfather!
- Did I say that?
I'm not a grandfather!
- You. Call me Mother.
- Oh, yes.
- Hurry.
- Mother?
- One more time.
- Mother.
One more time!
Mom?
Congratulations!
You popped that straight at me!
You tried to hurt me!
Let's drink!
I forgot about this!
Crossed out[Have Hazuki adopt baby]
[Never let my little sister die]
I can't have you dying on me yet.
You still have my Sailor Moon headband
back from elementary school.
And my 'Slam Dunk' comic,
and what else...
my Mr. Children CD and
my Prada backpack!
You still haven't returned all of that!
All right.
Why would I want to
adopt your baby?
Your baby will probably be a spoiled
and disobedient little brat.
You're the mother, take responsibility
and raise your daughter.
Yes.
You have to live a long life, and make
sure your daughter is happy.
Yes.
I won't forgive you if you die.
I won't let you die.
That's not true...
Get it together!
I will protect Misaki and her baby
no matter what it takes.
She's pregnant?
Takako!
My life will finally be complete when
this baby is born.

through the beauty.'
'The long train symbolizes the bright
hope that overcomes such fears,
in this classic dress.'
The one last piece wouldn't come to me.
A bit mortifying to admit I needed the
help, but I used one of your designs.
I'm so flattered that you made the
dress to look so beautiful.
This is going to be an amazing memory.
Thank you so much.
Are you talking in your sleep?
You're going to make the next
dress yourself.
What a slow girl!
I'm telling you to come back and
design dresses!
Are you doing it, or not?
Which is it!
I'll do it! Please let me!
It smells really good in here!
What are you cooking?
What is it?
I got it!
Katsu donburi, because 'katsu'
means to win!
You got it!
You need to win tomorrow!
There's no way I'll lose if
I eat katsu.
Oh, it's my phone, will you
get it for me? Who is it?
Your sister.
What does she say?
'One of my designs has become a dress
for the very first time.'
'I've also been hired as an
apprentice designer.'
'I've finally made it to this point.
I'm going to do my best!'
This is amazing!
Look!
It's named 'Hazuki.'
It's beautiful, don't you think?
Wow...
What number are you?
Number 12, so I'll be on at 11 o'clock
at the earliest.
Then maybe I'll go kill some time.
I think that would be better.
Stay somewhere warm.
I know.
All athletes finished with registration,
please come to the athlete tent.
- You better go.
- Yes.
Good luck.
I'll go now.
See you!
That girl ruined my life.
Takako!
Soichiro-san...
- What are you doing?
- Let me go. Let me go!
What is this going to accomplish?
I can't let that girl be the only one
to be happy!
Stop.
Are you all right?
Call an ambulance!
Soichiro-san... somebody help!
I sponsor this competition!
Wow, that's so impressive!
Oh, that guy's a 10!
Saionji Construction builds dreams too.
Ha ha!
Hey.
Good morning.
- How are you feeling?
- Great!
[Eito: I'm almost up.
Are you in the audience?]
[Misaki: I am!! I have the best seat!!!!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!]
That's too many exclamation points.
Eito. Enjoy it out there.
Yes!
- I sponsor this competition.
- We got it.
- Mmm, this is good.
- That guy's disappointing, a 5.
Good job! On to our next competitor!
Entry number 12!
It's Sakuraba Eito!
Will we finally see him earn his
hard fought victory?
The floor is yours!
- I'm Saionji, the sponsor.
- Mmm!
Go! Go!
I didn't know I drove your wife
into thinking that was her only option...
It's not your fault.
But it is, I ruined your life.
That's why I had decided I would never
cause you trouble or ask for help.
Takako and I had already started
to talk about divorce
before that night we spent together
when you were in high school.
But after that scandal, Takako changed
her mind and said she would stay with me.
All it did was postpone the divorce.
I'm glad your sister deleted the text
I sent you the day you graduated.
If I had seen you then, it might
have caused you more harm.
I'm sorry I've been following you around.
I'm sure you don't like me anymore.
That's not true.
My feelings for you now haven't
changed all these years, since we met.
You're calm and sensitive.
You listen to all the dumb things
I have to say.
You're still the caring Soichiro-san
I've always known.
I'm going back to Eight now.
Bye.
Takako and I, we were never
blessed with a baby.
That's why I wanted to raise this baby
with you, together.
I wanted to do my life over, with you.
Misaki?
Misaki!
Misaki! Somebody help!
Please!
Misaki!
Are you all right?
What happened?
She's medicated right now.
Misaki...Misaki...
Misaki-san has Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus.
Her immune system mistakenly attacks
her own body and causes inflammation.
Misaki-san has been regularly treated
after being diagnosed 7 years ago.
Seven years? That long?
Her symptoms were worst from age 20
to 22, and she was admitted twice.
Difficult treatments continued
for a year.
She then found out she was pregnant.
This is Dr. Takahashi, her ob-gyn.
Her pregnancy itself is going very well.
But pregnancy may exacerbate the
risks of SLE.
I see...and what is her condition now?
Is her life in danger?
No. Not for now.
Not for now?
Is there a possibility in the future
that her life would be in danger?
In the worst case, the baby or even her
life may be at risk.
- Soichiro!
- Eito.
How's Misaki?
She's sleeping in her room.
Misaki...
Eito-kun.
Hazuki-san.
It's my fault.
I asked myself everyday if I should
break the promise I made Misaki
and tell you and your mother
about Misaki's illness.
To think that this happened before
I could make my judgment...
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault, Eito-kun.
It's Misaki's fault.
Hazuki...
But it is!
To take such a big matter into her
own hands for years.
She even decided to have the
baby on her own.
She never considers the people around
her in her decisions.
Why...why didn't she tell me?
Am I so insignificant?
Mr. Sakuraba, is your injury
taken care of?
Yes.
Then wouldn't you mind leaving now?
We can take care of my daughter.
Please leave us.
Hazuki...
Misaki!
You fainted at the hospital,
do you remember?
Oh, right.
I heard about your illness.
Are you still going to have the baby?
Of course I am!
What kind of question is that?
You were so happy when you heard
about my pregnancy!
I don't want to ask you this either.
But everything is over if you die.
I won't die.
It's not in your hands!
I know. But I won't die.
I don't want to die!
It's my dream to birth and raise
a healthy baby.
It's the decision I made,
to lead the life I want.
After I got diagnosed, I was in and out
of the hospital, and it was hard.
But after I got pregnant,
everything changed.
I had hope, saw the future,
for the very first time.
So please. Let me have this baby.
Misaki...
If something happens to me, you're the
only one I can count on.
I wrote in that notebook, imagining
the future for my baby.
I wanted you to be happy,
for the sake of this child too.
But whatever my intentions were, I still
had no right to try to change your life.
I'm so sorry.
What does your child's future and my
happiness have to do with each other?
I wanted her to be raised by someone
that was happy with their own lives.
Why did you try to make me quit my job?
Of course I understand that it wasn't
mentally healthy to stay and work
with my ex-fiance and the woman
he cheated on me with.
But I would have had a much more
stable salary to raise children on.
I have much more respect for someone
that's doing what they want, rather than
a safe job they're unhappy with,
regardless of income.
I have to admit that I was angry at
first over you messing with everything.
But now that I think about it, all the
decisions were mine to make.
What?
I called off my engagement.
My relationship with Hagiwara-san.
I quit my government job.
It was all on my own accord.
That's why I don't regret anything.
It was all due to everything that I now
got a step in to my dream job.
Thank you.
Hazuki...
You always have a knack for
complicating things.
It's the only way I know.
Are you going to settle down once
you have the baby?
Hmm...
I can't wait to see you as a mom.
Me too.
Misaki!
Mom...
Misaki!
How do you feel? Any pain?
- I'm okay.
- Good good.
- I'm sorry I made you worry.
- Dummy! That's not an issue.
Everything's all right.
Sorry Eito-kun, do you mind staying
here for a little longer?
Of course.
I'll take my mom home, then come back
with clothes and necessities.
All right.
Oh, may I borrow your key?
I'll bring Misaki's belongings that
she has at your house.
Oh right, thank you.
I'll be fine here,
please take your time.
Thank you.
Mom? Let's go.
You won?
Wow! Congratulations!
[1st Place]
After the awards ceremony when I heard
my brother's voicemail,
I thought my heart would stop.
I didn't feel alive until
I saw your face.
I'm sorry.
I'm so happy you were okay.
Really happy.
Sorry.
I love you.
Me too.
Misaki?
Hmm?
Let's get married.
I'll protect you, and your baby.
I want you to let me be by your side.
Will you be all right alone?
Hazuki-chan.
How is she?
Hagiwara-san.
Can you do something for me?
Your tests look a lot better.
I'm so relieved!
But the next time your symptoms worsen,
you risk not only your own
but your baby's life as well.
It's absolutely crucial that you
get plenty of rest.
My mother and I will take
good care of her.
Take care.
Oops, sorry!
I'm fine!
[Closed for a Private Party]
Hazuki-chan, put that there...ow!
- Sorry.
- Yohei, you're in the way!
Be more careful, your side
looks terrible!
- Is it?
- Pay attention!
She's here!
She's here, she's here...
Hello!
Come here!
Wow!
Misaki-chan, welcome home!
Thank you!
Wow, these are beautiful!
Thank you!
This is for you.
It's a letter! Can I open it?
Sure.
'Misaki-chan, welcome home.
I love you!'
You're too cute! Thank you so much!
Hello!
Mom's here!
Thank you everybody.
I wanted to cook something for
everyone too...what are you doing?
Hurry up and come in!
Hello everyone.
Mom, what is this?
We punish the crime, and
not the person themselves.
He's shown that he's sorry, so us two
lonely birds are going to help each other.
Shibukawa-san, why don't you
leave that here?
I'll help you.
I was embarrassed to bring this to such
a fancy restaurant...
Wow! Red bean rice and rice cakes!
It looks delicious!
Let's plate this too!
Yes, Shunsuke-kun and Tota-kun,
can you get a plate?
Yes, we'll go get a plate.
I'll be leaving now.
What! So fast?
I'm just in charge of her luggage.
Enjoy the party.
Yes, thank you. I'll be home for dinner.
I'll be going now.
Thank you.
All right! Let's get ready!
Are you living together?
Of course!
Of course?
Hazuki! Give it up and let Mom be.
Right. Don't worry Hazuki, I won't
regret it, whatever happens.
I'm not going to drink with you
next time.
Why can't we have drinks?
You like to drink too!
Everybody sit down, let's start!
Where should I sit down?
To congratulate Misaki-chan coming home
from the hospital, cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you!
Everything looks so good!
May I start eating?
Of course!
Everybody dig in!
Let's eat!
Huh?
Dummy!
Oh, right!
We told everyone else already...
but the two of us are going
to get married.
What?
Really, Hazuki?
It took a long time but I finally have
the job I always wanted.
I can finally be positive about
my future.
Also, that wedding location
that Misaki reserved?
We hadn't canceled it yet because it
seemed too good to waste.
- Ha..Ha..Hazuki...
- A Christmas Eve wedding?
Yes.
Wow, that's so soon,
do you have enough time?
The wedding will be really simple.
All we really need is to have everyone
here get together for us.
How about your dress?
I'm making it!
Actually I've already started.
Hazuki, that's been your dream
since you were little!
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Ow!
If you don't make her happy, I'll hate
you forever, brother.
You don't have to tell me...brother?
You're going to be my brother.
Wait, when you two get married, I'll
get two brothers, a sister,
and so many cute nephews!
I'm so happy!
Brother...I like that.
You're so simple-minded.
Don't worry, she is too.
- Hey, one more time.
- What?
- One more time.
- What, you want me to say brother?
- One more time.
- What, grandfather?
- You just said grandfather!
- Did I say that?
I'm not a grandfather!
- You. Call me Mother.
- Oh, yes.
- Hurry.
- Mother?
- One more time.
- Mother.
One more time!
Mom?
Congratulations!
You popped that straight at me!
You tried to hurt me!
Let's drink!
I forgot about this!
Crossed out[Have Hazuki adopt baby]
[Never let my little sister die]
I can't have you dying on me yet.
You still have my Sailor Moon headband
back from elementary school.
And my 'Slam Dunk' comic,
and what else...
my Mr. Children CD and
my Prada backpack!
You still haven't returned all of that!
All right.
Why would I want to
adopt your baby?
Your baby will probably be a spoiled
and disobedient little brat.
You're the mother, take responsibility
and raise your daughter.
Yes.
You have to live a long life, and make
sure your daughter is happy.
Yes.
I won't forgive you if you die.
I won't let you die.
