[00:00] ---
    I'm having a birthday.
    I want you to come.
[00:04] ---
    Sure.
[00:05] ---
    It's kind of easy to talk to you
    these days, Fujinuma.
[00:10] ---
    Well...
[00:11] ---
    That's because
    I decided not to lie to you.
[00:14] ---
    I just said that out loud.
[00:19] ---
    H-Hinazuki!
[00:20] ---
    I'll see you tomorrow!
[00:25] ---
    This is the last place
    I saw Hinazuki 18 years ago.

[00:31] ---
    Her body was found
    after the snow melted...

[00:34] ---
    but what day did she disappear in March?

    Ow!
[02:42] ---
    I hear the boys are gonna
    race each other one on one.
[02:45] ---
    Huh.
[02:46] ---
    This should be fun!
[02:48] ---
    Well, I'm sure Hamada's gonna
    get the best time.
[02:51] ---
    I guess.
[02:54] ---
    Hamada!
[02:55] ---
    - Ice hockey team!
    - Hamada, do your best!
[02:57] ---
    - Good luck!
    - Do your best!
[02:58] ---
    Shut up, already.
[03:01] ---
    Go!
[03:05] ---
    I'm not gonna hold back, y'know.
[03:06] ---
    Okay.
[03:08] ---
    Hamada is a regular
    on the ice hockey team,

[03:10] ---
    the kind who'd win
    the national championship.

[03:12] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I remember racing against him.

[03:17] ---
    Fujinuma is racing Hamada.
[03:19] ---
    Poor guy!
[03:21] ---
    Hinazuki, you should cheer him on.
[03:25] ---
    Come on, Hinazuki!
[03:29] ---
    Fujinuma, are you going to win?
[03:32] ---
    I'll go as fast as I can.
[03:34] ---
    I see. Then good luck.
[03:40] ---
    On your mark...
[03:42] ---
    Get set...
[03:46] ---
    Crap!
[03:50] ---
    - All right! Go!
    - Satoru, go for it!
[03:51] ---
    That's the way!
[03:52] ---
    - Hamada, what are you doing?!
    - Try harder!
[03:55] ---
    This guy is fast!
[03:56] ---
    Fujinuma probably started
    before the pistol went off.
[04:01] ---
    Is it okay to win?
[04:03] ---
    Would victory have any meaning?
[04:06] ---
    Go for it!
[04:08] ---
    This guy goes through
    hard training every day.

[04:12] ---
    The winner should be...
[04:20] ---
    Goal!
[04:22] ---
    I knew Hamada would win in the end!
[04:26] ---
    That was awesome!
[04:27] ---
    He gave Hamada a run for his money!
    That's a big deal!
[04:30] ---
    Right, Kenya?
[04:36] ---
    Fujinuma!
[04:39] ---
    I hate punks like you!
[04:45] ---
    Satoru!
[04:47] ---
    That was a close one!
[04:48] ---
    Shut up!
[04:49] ---
    What's up with Hamada?
[04:50] ---
    I know. Just because he almost lost...
[04:53] ---
    It's okay.
[04:56] ---
    I remember.
[05:00] ---
    I hate punks like you!
[05:03] ---
    I made the same mistake
    I did 18 years ago.

[05:16] ---
    Wait, Hinazuki!
[05:19] ---
    Hamada really was fast.
[05:22] ---
    Oh.

    What's wrong?
[05:35] ---
    You said you wouldn't lie to me.
[05:39] ---
    Sorry.
[05:41] ---
    For some reason, I thought
    Hamada should win today.
[05:44] ---
    Oh.
[05:46] ---
    Um...
[05:47] ---
    It doesn't matter.

    I wanted to look up

[06:42] ---
    I see.
[06:44] ---
    Satoru, it seems like
    you've gotten friendly with Kayo lately.
[06:47] ---
    I wouldn't say that...
[06:49] ---
    You didn't ask her directly?
[06:51] ---
    I told her my birthday,
[06:52] ---
    but she wouldn't tell me hers.

[07:04] ---
    I see.
[07:06] ---
    Thank you!
[07:07] ---
    Well, Kayo is pretty shy, so it was probably hard
    for her to say that you share the same birthday.
[07:13] ---
    It's probably a good idea to celebrate it
    with her without thinking too much.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah. I will.
[07:17] ---
    Well... excuse me!
[07:20] ---

[07:22] ---

    Satoru!
[08:19] ---
    Yuuki!
[08:23] ---
    I-It looks like
    you've made lots of friends.
[08:27] ---
    Good for you.
[08:28] ---
    Yuuki is 23 years old in this time period.
[08:31] ---
    He's younger than me now.
[08:33] ---
    It's thanks to you, Yuuki.
[08:35] ---
    No, it isn't!
[08:36] ---
    I-I-It's because
    you mustered up courage.
[08:40] ---
    The feeling you had of wanting to have fun
    with everyone g-got across.
[08:45] ---
    His stuttering and softhearted soul
    are just like I remember.

[08:48] ---
    He's a good person.
[08:51] ---
    Yuuki, do you know Kayo Hinazuki?
[08:54] ---
    Kayo? Sure I know her.
[08:56] ---
    That was a quick answer.
[08:58] ---
    She's always in the park alone, right?
[09:00] ---
    I've talked to her a number of times.
[09:03] ---
    Is she a classmate?
[09:05] ---
    Yeah.
[09:05] ---
    Huh. I didn't know.
[09:08] ---
    Jun! Time to eat!
[09:11] ---

    Isn't it early for dinner?
[09:15] ---
    We get up early.
[09:16] ---
    I work at my dad's bento shop
    from four in the morning.
[09:20] ---
    Four?
[09:21] ---
    Yeah. But just until noon.
[09:24] ---
    I see.
[09:25] ---
    We always hung out in the afternoon,
[09:27] ---
    so I assumed he was unemployed.
[09:30] ---
    Now that I'm 29,
[09:32] ---
    I can tell he's making an effort
    to curb his dialect when he talks to me.

[09:36] ---
    To a kid, the way he talks
    has a persuasiveness and maturity.

[09:41] ---
    Tell me about the way he talked.
[09:43] ---
    Did you think he was a good person?
[09:47] ---
    There was another feature
    on the papercrafting tournament.
[09:54] ---
    U-Um... Someone gave them to me,
[09:57] ---
    a-a-and I couldn't just throw them out.
[09:59] ---
    It's okay. I don't care.
[10:02] ---
    Was there anything in his room
    that made you feel uneasy?

[10:11] ---
    I'd better get going.
[10:12] ---
    Okay.
[10:16] ---
    Satoru, you've become
    more mature somehow.
[10:22] ---
    Really?
[10:24] ---
    Yeah.

[14:22] ---
    If you forgot today, bring it tomorrow!
[14:25] ---
    The reason Kayo is often late
    or absent on Mondays...
[14:30] ---
    Do you know, Satoru?
[14:32] ---
    Because Hinazuki's mother
    beats her on Saturday.
[14:36] ---
    I see. Then you've noticed.
[14:39] ---
    You knew, Sensei?
[14:41] ---
    Well...
[14:43] ---
    What is it? Sensei, tell me!
[14:45] ---
    I've been struggling with the idea
    of talking to the students about it.
[14:49] ---
    Even in class, Kayo is cut off
    from everyone else, right?
[14:51] ---
    I thought if everyone knew
    she was being physically abused,
[14:54] ---
    they would be prejudiced against her.
[14:57] ---
    That's not true!
[14:59] ---
    I know, Satoru.
[15:00] ---
    For you, it's not.
[15:01] ---
    That's why I'll tell you everything.
[15:04] ---
    But don't share it with your classmates.
[15:06] ---
    Okay.
[15:07] ---
    To be honest, I began to suspect
    Kayo's mother last May.
[15:13] ---
    But there weren't any tangible signs yet.
[15:16] ---
    Why not?
[15:17] ---
    Kayo's mother craftily hid the marks.
[15:20] ---
    The Child Consultation Center
    visited their house three times,
[15:25] ---
    but maybe the mother
    has good intuition
[15:26] ---
    because each time she and Kayo
    were out of the house,
[15:28] ---
    so an official interview
    hasn't been conducted yet.
[15:31] ---
    What the hell?
    Then they're incompetent.
[15:33] ---
    I said that out loud.
[15:35] ---
    Yeah.
[15:36] ---
    I've seen the mother a number of times,
[15:39] ---
    and physical abuse is definitely going on.
[15:42] ---
    Now the Child Consultation Center
    just has to confirm it.
[15:44] ---
    Then they'll take Kayo away
    from her mother.
[15:47] ---
    So he's already made
    the preliminary arrangements.

[15:50] ---
    But once that happens,
[15:53] ---
    Kayo won't be in class anymore, Satoru.
[15:56] ---
    If it saves Hinazuki, I don't care.
[15:59] ---
    Hurry, Sensei.
[16:02] ---
    I'm positive Yashiro is waiting
    until spring vacation before taking action.

[16:07] ---
    But it'll be too late by then!
[16:10] ---
    Hurry, dammit!
[16:13] ---
    Sit down!
[16:14] ---
    D-Dammit...
[16:17] ---
    It's gone.
[16:18] ---
    The lunch money is gone.
[16:20] ---
    29 years old and I've gotta
    be involved in an incident like this?

[16:26] ---
    Sensei...
[16:28] ---
    What is it?
[16:29] ---
    Everyone's lunch money
[16:31] ---
    is gone.
[16:35] ---
    Excuse me! Not gone!
[16:37] ---
    I think somebody must have stolen it!
[16:39] ---
    And I'm suspicious of Hinazuki!
[16:41] ---
    Hey... On what grounds?
[16:44] ---
    After all, Hinazuki
    doesn't pay for her lunches,
[16:48] ---
    and I think the culprit has to be
    somebody who's poor.
[16:51] ---
    That may be right!
[16:52] ---
    Hey, did you take it, Hinazuki?
[16:54] ---
    Little brat...
[16:57] ---
    I think the truth will come out
    if we do a search of everyone's bags.
[17:00] ---
    I agree!
[17:02] ---
    Jeez. I just wanna eat lunch!
[17:06] ---
    You're not going to look?
[17:07] ---
    I didn't take it,
    so what's the point of lookin'?
[17:10] ---
    Search the bag of the person next to you.
[17:13] ---
    I bet you stole it, didn't you?
[17:14] ---
    Idiot!
[17:15] ---
    Come on, find the thief!
[17:17] ---
    I didn't find anything!
[17:18] ---
    Then it was Hinazuki?
[17:19] ---
    Of course!
[17:20] ---
    Poor! Poor!
[17:23] ---
    Here it is.
[17:24] ---
    - It was Hinazuki!
    - The poor girl really did do it!
[17:26] ---
    See? Just like I said!
[17:28] ---
    Kayo is the thief!
[17:29] ---
    Shut up!
[17:31] ---
    I don't care if she's poor or hungry!
[17:33] ---
    Hinazuki would never
    steal from anybody!
[17:40] ---
    You probably did it.
[17:43] ---
    Listen, anyone could've taken it
    from Satoru's desk and planted it.
[17:52] ---
    Everyone! Kayo is on duty today,
[17:54] ---
    so there's nothing unusual
    about her having the lunch money.
[17:57] ---
    Misato, Satoru,
    that's the end of it, okay?
[17:59] ---
    Let's have lunch!
[18:01] ---
    That's right.
[18:02] ---
    Okay!
[18:03] ---
    School is out, everyone.
[18:06] ---
    Students who are still in the building,
    please turn off the lights...

[18:07] ---
    This is awkward.
[18:11] ---
    Fujinuma, thanks for before.
[18:14] ---
    It's okay. What she said
    was totally uncalled-for.
[18:18] ---
    In third grade,
[18:20] ---
    Misato kept making fun of my pencils,
[18:22] ---
    so I threw her prized
    mechanical pencil out the window.
[18:28] ---
    She's hated me ever since.
[18:31] ---
    Although it's mutual...
[18:33] ---
    But she once invited me
    to a Christmas party.
[18:38] ---
    It was just so she could show off
    her big Christmas tree.
[18:42] ---
    But it was beautiful.
[18:46] ---
    I remember...
[18:49] ---
    Listen...
[18:51] ---
    Wanna go see one after this?
[18:53] ---
    See what?
[18:54] ---
    A Christmas tree.
[18:57] ---
    Are you stupid?
[19:03] ---
    Here.
[19:03] ---
    Satoru Fujinuma
[19:06] ---
    They're working gloves,
[19:08] ---
    but it's cold up in the mountains.
[19:12] ---
    I didn't agree to go.
[19:21] ---
    I always used to ski
    and bobsled in this area.
[19:27] ---
    I even saw red foxes once in a while.
[19:37] ---
    There!
[19:41] ---
    W-Wow!
[19:43] ---
    I remembered the red foxes
    running around at my feet.

[19:47] ---
    18 years ago, I saw it alone,
[19:50] ---
    and no one believed me
    when I told them.

[20:02] ---
    I wonder if they're a couple.
