I ran into an old kitchen mate!

The world's not so bad after all

I can pay him back anytime

Hey, count it!

We can use it to rent a place

and start renovations

Look!

I thought...

You weren't coming home...

Oh, no, you fool!

First our castle

Build us a real castle

Where did you

wash your clothes?

"Rei, I'm so sorry it

turned out this way

"Be well, always

"I pray for your happiness

From Tonoike"

Tonoike san is...

Rei is... Oh...

I didn't know

Consolation money?

Don't know

So you were at Rei's place?

It's not about where I was!

Is your hand OK?

Did your burn it?

I can understand

For Rei to get all this money,

she must have felt really rotten

Yeah, I think so

But I'm glad

If she hadn't run into you

she might have been bright red

ground meat on a train track by now

Don't scare me

The water's hot

Please turn it off

Listen, tell me what you did

I didn't do anything

No, no it was very normal

Normal, I mean

less than normal

Did her vulnerability seduce you

into spilling your troubles?

Not my troubles...

You blabbed about our dirty laundry

Told her we were finished, too?

I didn't say that

It's hot

Oh, I get it

What do you get?

Shimazu

Yes, you can eat it that way

The vegetables are delicious

Thank you

What exactly do you do at

that company, sister?

You said you want

to write non-fiction

That's why

I keep asking even the president,

for a transfer to the new magazine

department

But nothing's changed,

even once

You just doodle with the website

and arrange the president's lunches

You're past 30 now

Why don't you consider marriage?

There are a lot of bachelor doctors

in my husband's hospital

Listen, the thing is,

I don't think marrying a doctor

or a politician

is a path to happiness

Did mom and the others

put you up to this?

Not especially, but,

I'm sick of watching Mom be depressed

all the time from worrying about you

She's past 60 now

Do you ever think about that?

You're just numb because

you still live at home

It's clean

You can't even put a child to bed?

Incredible

What an idiot

I told you, not to get her excited

The pits

You're useless

Forget it, let me talk to her

Are you OK? Your bag...

Are you OK?

- There

- Thanks

Thank you so much

Please take care

We'll be waiting for you

It was delicious

This city's dark terrain

is strewn with countless stars

which have lost their light

I don 't need for you

to be a perfect man

But every thing

has its own

one in a mill ion timing

If you just manage to seize that,

I'm sure you can be a small sun,

shining I ight on those stars

Everyone 's lonely,

burdened with heartbreak

Whate ver we ha ve today,

in position, money,
