You focus on cooperation,
you take good care of yourself,
you have a modest personality,
and rather than thinking of yourself,
you feel the happiness of others.
What is that ?
Fortune telling ?
It's ear fortune telling.
Stop that.
That tickles !
Doesn't this look good on me ?
Can I borrow it ?
You can't !
It's fine !
Give it back !
I'll wear it ! I'm gonna wear it !
It looks good on you.
Really ?
yeah
Shun...
Should we break up ?
This is perfect place for an afternoon nap.
I used to take a nap in this place all the time back then.
But I don't do it now.
Why do you think that is ?
It's because people thought I was a corpse.
No matter where you go...
The mountains stay the same.
Isn't it about time to move out of here ?
No...
I prefer it here.
Is that right ?
Oh, that's right.
That follows who used to live here came back yesterday.
Ogata
Hey !
Thank you.
I'll bring some vegetables next time.
Don't worry about it.
Later !
Come here !
Momo !
What are you doing ?
Who did you come with ?
I can't talk to strangers.
Papa told me.
Papa !
Yo !
Papa... Who is that person ?
That person ?
That person is...
That person is your Papa's ...
Pee !
Pee ?
Can I use your bathroom ?
It's gonna come out !
Where is your thanks ?
Thank you !
Okay ! Let's go !
Why did you come here ?
Why did you come here after all this time ?
Did you come here to inform me that your a Papa ?
I told you how I went to Australia to become a professional surfer, didn't I ?
But...
I realized that it was naive for me to think I could become a pro.
But I couldn't come back to Japan right away.
So I just started working jobs over there.
And then...
I was able to work as an interpreter.
And I became close to a female acquaintance.
You're bisexual right ?
I was surprised about the pregnancy but...
But I didn't think that my gay self...
would have a child with a blood connection to me.
Then I asked her to get married.
After that Sora was born...
And Rena...
Rena is the other person
Instead of continuing with my interpreter job...
I took care of the house work and childcare.
And things went well for a while.
But right now, we are in the middle of a divorce.
Well, I said divorce but we're just talking about it right now.
That's why Im taking turns with Sora.
Is it okay to come here ?
In those conditions.
Shun, aren't you misunderstanding something ?
It's not like that !
How long has it been since then ?
Then why did you come here ?
On a whim.
What do you mean ?
I wanted to see you on a whim.
Morning !
What are you doing ?
You can tell by looking right ?
Hurry up and do it Papa !
Okay Okay !
Big success !
I love the eggs that we get here.
Big success !
You're hungry too aren't you Shun ?
This too Papa !
You're able to be self-sufficient and exchange goods for money?
What about you ?
I'm gonna work
I've always been focusing on housework and childcare.
What about your parents ?
Did you tell them about the divorce ?
I didn't.
How are the two of you gonna live from now on ?
How are the two of you going to live from now on ?
Like I said...
What are you going to do from now on ?
Shopping time !
We are going to the pork cutlet corner that you like.
Pork cutlet corner !
Essentials !
Toothbrushes !
Which one ?
This !
Okay ! Here !
Here !
What about the toothpaste ?
Loan !
I beat you in one move !
Like that !
Misato-san ! Thank's for the 12,000 !
Again ?
She is a dangerous Granny !
Is that so ?
By the way
He came back from Tokyo for the summer !
Igawa san ?
I saw him with a little girl and man at the supermarket.
They were buying essentials !
He's a hottie !
I smell something fishy !
This old Granny found her new prey !
That's freezing ! Are you for real ?
Hold on ! Just stay right there !
It's freezing !
The water is cold !
Can you take a look ?
Well...
I just fixed it.
No, the water is cold ! Sora is gonna catch a cold.
It's dwindling !
Can you turn on the hot water ?
Okay !
I'm turning it on !
Okay !
It's working !
Please stop it !
Okay !
It's working.
Thank you !
No problem !
We will come tomorrow to repair it for you.
Please don't use it for the time being.
Thank you.
At this time of the year, the water pipes rust and burst.
So it's normal for the hot water to stop working.
Mine broke the other day as well.
Rather than being frustrated at those times...
I make myself enjoy the inconvenience
That's how we live in this town !
I see !
I'm sorry !
I said something stuck-up !
No.
We are home !
This is my friend from high school that I was talking about earlier.
Nice to meet you !
I'm Yoshimura Misato from the Migration Support Services.
I'm Shun's best friend Hibino Nagisa !
Good afternoon !
What's your name ?
Sora !
How old are you ?
6 years old !
So that means...
You're going to be in elementary school this spring ?
Yes !
How long will you be staying here ?
We'll be staying here for a little bit.
Right ?
Yeah...
Why are you borrowing books ?
It's fine. I have nothing else to do !
Where's Sora-chan ?
She was right here a second ago.
What's your name ?
Sora !
I told you not to go off on your own right ?
I'm sorry ! I got goodies !
Thank you !
Are you Sora chan's Dad ?
Yes ! I'm Hibino Nagisa !
Nagisa ! That's quite a name !
Have a seat !
Okay !
Hey! There is enough for you too !
Stop spacing out !
Come on ! Don't hold back !
Hey, can you get us some tea ?
You gave Sora-chan some goodies ?
-They gave me all kinds ! - For her trip home !
There is cream inside !
Here is some more !
Thank you !
Shun !
The population of this town is about 8,000.
And the majority of them are eldery.
Young people like us are very welcomed they said.
We're rare !
Ah don't get the wrong idea ! I'm not saying that I'll move in or anything like that.
This is my house !
A lot of letters came to my house !
Papa ! Let's read this too!
Together ! Ready, set...
Are you doing well ?
When it becomes summer...
Come and play with me !
We can fish !
We can eat watermelon !
We can make preparations.
Let's play !
I'm waiting for you okay ?
When that day comes...
Please send me a letter !
Farewell !
You're currently spending time with a school friend in Shirakawa, Gifu prefecture, right ?
Is that person single ?
Yes.
When two single men live together with a small child...
It'll give off the wrong impression right ?
That's not true !
That friend of mine has looked after me.
And he's very nice with my daughter !
Don't touch that !
Buzz off !
That being said...
I'm not sure about being raised in an environment with just your father and a friend....
For example, are you able to get your parents to help you out ?
Well, I'm on bad terms with my parents...
Can't I raise her like I've always been doing ?
What we are trying to say is...
Raising children isn't a simple matter.
Well, children are supposed to be raised with a mother and a father.
That kind of family unit is the best.
Welcome !
Sora-chan ?
Sora-chan !
Excuse me.
Yes
Did you see a little girl in a white jacket ?
I'm not sure...
Excuse me.
I just saw her leaving the store.
Thank you very much.
Sora-chan !
What are you doing ?
I'm going to send a letter to my Mama.
Papa says that she will be happy to get a letter !
That's why I'm going to write her a letter and send it !
One more time !
Can I use both hands ?
No ! Do it like Papa !
One more time !
Itadakimasu !
Itadakimasu.
Delicious !
How is it ?
Did you get your letters ?
I heard that they came in.
No...
Not yet.
It seems like letters don't come here often.
I left while carrying a bag of my belongings.
In order for me to not go back home...
I cleaned the mailbox.
I put a futon on the inside.
The leaves on the figs have started to fall off.
The leaves fell one after the other.
Please give me letters !
I wrote it very carefully.
Hibino-san !
We're here.
Misato-san !
You're a lifesaver !
Thank you !
I didn't think you'd come and pick me up since Sora was sleeping !
Sorry.
It's fine.
I saw him in front of the station.
I'm really sorry about that.
It's fine !
Igawa-san...
Yes
If you're okay with it, do you want to have lunch with me next time ?
When I say together, I mean with Hibino-san and Sora-chan as well !
Sorry for saying it in a weird way...
No...
Then...
If the timing is right !
Is it okay ?
Then when you have time...
I'm going to write down my phone number here.
If you sleep here you'll get sick.
I feel like crap...
Shun !
Sorry but can you take me ?
Okay ! Okay ! I get it !
You didn't have to throw me !
My head hurts !
Might be a hangover.
What did you do in Tokyo ?
Divorce mediation.
Divorce mediation ?
The arbitrators there are very strict.
They said that two men cannot raise a child.
What kind of era are they living in ?
It's impossible.
You might be able to raise her alone but...
I can't handle it.
Why not ?
Then let me ask you this
Why do you have to live with me ?
Well...
How am i in a position to raise children ?
Papa !
Let's go out and play this morning !
Sure !
Let's go !
Shun-kun too !
Ready...set !
Pull it !
From the roots ! The roots !
You're good !
It's heavy !
She said play so why does she have to work ?
Right Sora ?
It's fun !
She said it's fun.
Let's do this one.
Pull it like this.
1...2...3...
Do you see the dog Sora ?
Dog ?
Good afternoon.
I've bought the vegetables !
Nice to meet you !
Dog !
You're used to this !
Write your address here Shun-kun !
Why ?
I'll send you a letter too !
No ! In Hiragana !
Delicious !
Is it delicious ?
Yes !
Do you only eat homegrown things ?
That's right.
In old days, you could catch a wild bear and sell it as a wholesaler.
And you could earn 600,000 or 500,000 yen in one winter.
However, nowaydays people rarely eat only homegrown things huh ?
No no , I was just thinking about how you have a lot of books !
I just collected them through the time without noticing it.
Do you like books too ?
Yes.
I started reading because of this guy !
Oh is that right ?
That's not true .
I started reading because of him.
Well , It doesn't matter !
Meeting someone and being influenced by them is one of life's greatest treasure.
Sora !
Take a picture Shun !
Papa ! Together with Shun-kun !
Shun too ?
Here we go !
Okay ! Say cheese !
One more !
Mama !
Sora !
Did you have fun ?
Is your work finished ?
I wanted to see you so I came right away !
I'll be taking her back.
Wait ! We promised that I'll keep her until the 13th right ?
We promised ?
Why did you have her take time off kindergarten and come to a place like this ?
Sora told me that she didn't want to go there !
Is that so ?
I mean... being with Papa is more fun...
But you friends at the kindergarten will be lonely without you !
Besides if you're here then you can't play the piano right ?
I'm going to buy you a piano when you enter elementary school !
Really ?
Mama said she's going to buy me a piano !
Isn't bribing her with things dirty ?
Who's dirty ?
You've spoiled her all this time while I was at work !
Then you should make time for Sora after work !
Stop talking to me like that !
Let's go.
I said hold on !
Let me go !
Stop it !
Please go !
I did the divorce mediation but...
We still don't know who will have custody of Sora.
I don't know the reason but...
I'll apologize.
Let's start over.
I got married...
I had a child...
I'm not gay.
I've become a full-fledged man that will be accepted by society.
All the time, I've been told that it's not normal.
It was too painful.
That's why
I love Rena and Sora...
And I want to protect this lifestyle.
But it was impossible...
I'm gay...
You hid the fact that you were gay and married me.
And you even made a child.
Isn't that because you wanted to show your parents their grandchild's face...
And be accepted as a full-fledged man in the society ?
You just used me to obtain that right ?
That's not true !
What isn't true ?
Before I met you
I slept with men just to fullfill my sexual desire...
And then...
I ended up killing the martial relationship.
And I had affairs with various men.
But it was impossible...
The more I messed around with men
My love for Rena became smaller and smaller.
I loved you Nagisa !
And I beleived that you loved me too !
To think you deceived me this entire time...
Unbelievable...
Rena...
How will I make you understand ?
I just so happened to find your clothes...
And then...
I finally understood...
The thing I was looking for wasn't the body of a man.
It was you Shun...
Why ?
Why didn't you tell me sooner ?
Shun !
What do you want me to do ?
I mean, think about it !
During those times you were always with me since our school days !
And then what happened ?
You bring a child along...
And you tell me that you haven't forgotten me !
That's too selfish !
Don't screw with me !
I finally started to forget about you !
Why couldn't you stay with me during those times ?
I'm sorry...
Let me go...
Sorry...
Let me go !
I was wrong !
Shun !
Get off me !
Sorry !
Shun !
Let me go...
Please !
I lied...
I couldn't tell you that I wanted to live with you !
Shun !
The presentation is devided into three parts.
Firstly, we'll talk about our new technology.
Then we'll talk about the features of our product.
Then I'll explain the pricing system at the end !
There are three things I'd like to cover today.
Firstly, I'll talk about the new technology.
Then I will explain the product features.
Finally, I'll describe our new pricing system.
It would be an honor if we could work together.
We're also looking at your company's high level of technological strength.
We are looking forward to listening to your presentation today.
Please take care of us !
We have always appreciated the technical capabilities of your company.
We are looking forward to hearing what you have to say today.
Thank you !
You're welcome.
Hello
Yes , I just finished.
I'm going to pick up my daughter from kindergarten...
And I'll get home around 3:00 pm.
Yes.
Please take care of me.
It's impossible.
My mother has old values.
If I tell her that I got divorcced because my husband is gay...
She will look at me with horro in her face.
But...
When a woman who has a job raises a child alone...
Then the judge might favor us more than in the trial.
Mama !
We'll go see the piano right ?
I'm having a really important conversation right now. Wait in your room.
Even without my mother's cooperation...
I'll try to use the daycare center to help create time for childcare.
Is that no good ?
He doesn't have a job.
Furthermore...
He's not going to get married.
This matter was also brought up in the divorce mediation.
The judge is going to think about it throughly.
Mama ! Not yet ?
It'll be over soon !
Just please wait !
Sora !
Wait right here !
Sora !
Why are you causing trouble for Mama ?
I came home early from work for you !
You're always working !
I want to see Papa !
Sorry !
I can give you some pointers but...
This is your first divorce judge right ?
Yes.
It's generally difficult for men to obtain custody in divorce trials.
Why do you think that is ?
The general idea is that women are better suited for raising children.
It's because they are persistent.
But...
This time...
The person with the childcare position was you right ?
Yes.
Furthermore, if you're still looking for after the child...
Then in order to maintain the status quo, the custody would be given to you.
For real ?
What's wrong ?
My daughter was just taken by her mother just now.
That's fine.
I'll look after Sora.
That way...
You can continue working like you've always done right ?
Thank you.
In return...
Win the trial...
And take custody.
That being said...
It's important for children to be with their parents.
You need to come and see her.
Mama ! Wake up !
I want to eat !
Shut up.
Get away.
Once I get the trial...
Will my relationship with my male partner seriously affect it ?
The divorce hasn't been established yet...
But you're living with someone other than your wife...
And you took your child.
Frankly speaking,
It's disadvantegeous in the trial.
But
Who was the cause of the martial relationship failure
And who is more suitable in taking custody of the child
Don't always go together in the trial.
The fact that you're a gay couple has become clear in the trial process.
And if you are able to make the judge think that it's a good libing situation for your child
Then they will grant you custody of the child.
Also
Please get a regular job as soon as possible.
You need economic power to take custody of the child.
This is important to the judge.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Yes ?
That's right...
Over there !
Sora !
Papa !
Why did you do this ?
I wanted to be with you !
Mama's work never ends !
Sora !
I'm sorry !
Sora !
I'm the one in the wrong !
You didn't do anything bad !
I'm sorry !
Alright !
Okay ! Go ahead !
The following is a list of companies currently recruiting for jobs in Shirakawa.
Which ones are jobs I can do right away ?
You can do any of them right away but...
Do you have any qualifications ?
No, I don't...
Is that so...
If you did...
Hey you
Are you looking for some kind of job ?
Yes.
Those are Mahjong tiles.
The grooves are deep and the water runs vertically.
Bamboo tiles.
Bamboo tiles ?
And then,
The ones with shallow grooves
Dot tiles !
What is she teaching her ?
Do you understand why eldery love talking ?
No
Eldery have way more knowledge than us.
But when they die all that will be lost.
That's why they want to talk to people to pass it on.
Well, I heard that from an eldery.
Shouju ?
Correct !
How long does it take to make a pipe organ ?
34 years.
Or more.
It takes that long ?
It has about 5 or 6 years left.
No one knows when it will be completed.
That's why
Whether you make it or ask someone too.
It needs to get done.
This is the only one that I've been working on.
These old whistles still need to get washed.
Well, it's a quite simple job.
Have you developed anything ?
No...
After all this time I haven't really done anything.
But...
I'm going to do my best this time !
You are an honest man.
Thanks for taking me home.
You're a lifesaver.
No problem...
I...
I like you Igawa-san...
Would you go out with me ?
Thanks...
But I'm sorry.
Is there anybody else you like ?
Does that person like you Igawa san ?
I'm sorry...
I said something unpleasant.
No...
What the...
I see...
I don't want it to get awkward...
So please act the way you've always been.
Okay.
Hello.
Sora is asleep so Misato-san took me home.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Sora !
We're here.
It's fine, just like this.
Thanks for taking care of Sora today.
How did it go ?
Did you find a job ?
I'll start working at the beginning of the new year.
I'll be making a pipe organ.
Pipe organ ?
That's amazing !
Misato-san confessed to you right ?
What did you tell her ?
She didn't confess.
Did you tell her about me ?
There's no way I would.
I got a lot on my mouth...
Of course you would !
I'm brushing my teeth !
You need to pee ?
Want to change into your pyjamas ?
Are you awake ?
You're awake.
Alright, shall we go ?
It's quite a tedious job right ?
You work on these small little pieces and invest a lot of time into them...
Then eventually they'll become a big pipe organ.
It's kinda like raising children.
Misato chan !
Did you get into a fight with Sora and the others ?
Well, you seem so depressed these days !
This has to be because of a man !
Right ?
That's a lie !
It's not a lie !
Sora saw it !
You're lying ! That's totally weird !
It's not weird !
Sora saw it properly !
You're a liar Sora-chan !
It's not a lie !
Papa and Shun-kun kissed !
Sora !
It's time for us to go home.
Shun-kun...
You kissed Papa didn't you ?
Sorry...
It's just like you said.
I left you on my own.
Then I wanted to see you again.
I came here...
I don't think I should have came here...
Nagisa!
Do you like it here ?
Do you like this town ?
Yes.
I see.
Why ?
If someone is going to leave then it should be me !
Even though you have a job ?
What are you doing ?
I've never heard about that !
No no no ! How do you do it ?
Then I'm going to confirm it !
Hey Igawa !
Are you gay ?
Maeda-san you can't joke like that.
It's not a joke !
His classmate Hamamoto told me !
Igawa was living with a guy during his University days !
For real ?!
That's not true !
It's not true ?
He was just a male friend.
And we weren't living together, it was a Room share
In my school days, I didn't have money.
But I was told that you got a job...
And it would be bad if people found out about it...
So you told your boyfriend to break up right ?
That makes me cry !
That's a good story isn't it ?
You're drinking too much !
Please give me a break guys !
Besides I wouldn't be gay in this kind of era.
It would be an issue.
That's true.
What the hell ?
If you were on the other side then I thought about having some fun with you.
You're a pretty boy after all.
Am I wrong ?
I told you that you can't make those kinds of sketchy jokes !
Shun ?
Come with me for a bit.
Everyone in Shirakawa has a lot of free time.
We like to gossip a lot but...
We don't have people or hold grudges.
Besides, this town has always had a lot of people coming from the oustide in the past.
We are kind people.
That's why...
You can't let it get to you.
If you don't let it get to you , the difficult things won't be so overwhelming.
It's a person's free will to like who they like.
Do what you desire.
Be quit.
It's too bad what happened to Ogata-san.
He was always close to us.
You got that right.
What's wrong ?
Shun-kun...
Are you going somewhere far away ?
Because Sora said that Papa and you kissed...
Are you going somewhere far away ?
You're not going anywhere right ?
I'm glad !
Papa likes Shun-kun !
And Shun-kun likes Papa too !
Why is that weird ?
It's not weird right ?
Can you pass me the beer ?
Okay !
Are you and Igawa-san really gay ?
What's up with that ? He's just my friend !
But two men are living together right ?
That's true.
Can I say something ?
For all this time...
I've hidden the fact that I'm homosexual.
No matter how hard I fought it, I couldn't accept myself.
I deduced that this society isn't kind to gay people.
Once you get friendly with someone...
You'll start talking about yourself.
But...
Talking can break a close relationship.
So I decided to come here and not to be close to anyone.
But once I started living here...
Ogata-san and Misato-san...
And eveyone in this town was kind to me.
And I realized that this society wasn't void of kindness.
If I'm kind myself...
Society might become more kind.
That's why I'm going to say it.
I'm gay !
I love Hibino Nagisa.
When you reach this age, women and men are both a mystery !
It doesn't matter which one you choose !
Shun !
Live proudly !
Thank you...
Is she asleep ?
I made coffee.
Want some ?
Thank you.
What's wrong ?
I...
Want to...
Live with you and Sora-chan.
[Divorce suit 1st oral argument] Regarding the divorce, we have already reached a mutual agreement.
[Plaintiff Hibino Rena] [Defendant Hibino Nagisa] All what is left is the matter of custody right ?
I think there will be issues surrounding each of your childcare situation.
The defendant current situation is that...
He's living together with a man right now.
That man is homosexual right ?
So that means that the defendant is also homosexual right ?
Yes !
That's correct.
That means that his child is living together with them in his house right ?
Yes !
That's correct.
I see.
On behalf of the plaintiff...
The defendant is in an environment where he's living with his homosexual mistress.
I think a 6 year old living in that kind of environment is problematic.
You just called it a problematic environment
What's wrong with it ?
Well, they're two men.
If you say that two men are being together is a problem...
Then the issue is something else.
You're discriminating againt homosexual relationships right now.
Please keep that in mind.
What about you ?
Can you tell me where my so called discrimination is ?
The two of you !
Please calm down.
We're still in the first oral argument.
Let's remain civil please.
Let's be calm .
Regarding the statement that Mizuno sensei made...it wasn't the nicest.
That being said...
I won't say that this situation is normal.
That judge said that homosexual relationships aren't normal.
Why didn't you protest ?
Judges have the highest position in court.
Even if they have prejudice...
Protesting against them is useless.
Just because you're gay or with a man...
The judge will try his best not to give you special treatment.
The other lawyer will try his best to make him treat you differently.
It won't be easy though.
Witness Yoshimura Misato
Currenly, his daughter Sora-chan is living with two men...
But have you seen anything strange or off about Sora-chan ?
No.
She always looks like she's having fun with a smile on her face.
How is the relationship between Hibino Nagisa-san and his partner Igawa Shun-san ?
Objection !
Currently the divorce of the spouses haven't been established yet.
He's not a partner but a mistress or an affair partner.
Please correct that.
Denied.
Please continue.
Hibino-san and Igawa-san get along.
And it can be said that they treasure each other greatly.
Have you seen Hibino Nagisa-san and his mistress Igawa Shun-san kiss before ?
No.
I haven't.
Then...
Have you heard about those acts happening ?
Yes.
Who told you ?
Sora-chan .
A 6 years old child...
Had to witness her father and a man that isn't her mother...
Engage in such a shameful act like nothing is wrong...
Objection !
Calling it a shameful act is way over bounds !
Besides, Igawa-san isn't just some man. Please correct it.
Accepted.
Please correct it and continue.
He's not her mother.
It's an environment where he's kissing a man with whome he has an affair.
Do you think that's a good environment for child raising ?
They kissed in front of her.
Even if it was an act of love...
The person that a married man kisses...
Shouldn't be an homosexual mistress
But rather a woman who is his wife ?
This is common sense in this world !
Don't you think so ?
Objection !
Take back the statement that you made regarding common sense of this world !
He's trying to word it so that the witness can give a favorable answer to the plaintiff.
Denied.
Please answer the questions.
That might be common sense in this world but...
That being said...
The environment that Sora-chan is in right now defies common sense in this world.
It's a special environment isn't it ?
Don't you feel bad for Sora-chan living in that kind of environment ?
Being in an environment with a man and a woman like the other children...
Is more suitable don't you think ?
Don't stay silent and answer the questions please !
That's all the questions.
A huge success !
Alright, let's do another one.
A huge success !
[Witness Interrogation | Igawa Shun] While knowing that Hibino Nagisa-san had a wife and child
You accepted his request of living together right ?
Yes.
Hibino-san should take Sora-chan back to her mother.
Did you consider this at least once ?
Yes.
I did.
That being said...
Hibino-san never did take her back.
Did you bring it up to him again ?
No.
But that's because...
In other words
You couldn't control your feelings of wanting to mess around with the man you liked
And you couldn't follow your common sense.
That's not true !
What's not true ?
I wasn't messing around with him !
I love him seriously.
Have you ever thought about Sora-chan's future seriously ?
Yes, of course.
Do you know how many harships Sora-chan will endure being raised by a gay couple ?
You should understand that the most, since you're gay yourself !
If you truly were thinking about Sora-chan's happiness...
You wouldn't choose such a difficult future for her !
Or maybe...
You want Rena-san the mother of your partner's child to be angry ?
That's not true !
What isn't true ?
Objection !
There's no way I would think that !
His question for the witness
was made to insult and confuse the witness
and is layered with discrimination toward same-sex !
It's layered with discrimination toward same-sex ?
Can you explain why that is ?
Well, the both of you need to calm down.
Are you okay ?
Let's do it again !
One more time !
You've become good at this !
Shall I open it for you ?
It's okay !
Can you open it ?
Let me open it.
I can't do it after all !
Sorry !
It's fine !
It got all over the place huh ?
Yes !
Is it yummy ?
Yes !
Papa !
Have you seen Mama in Tokyo ?
When will you see her ?
Maybe in March.
Then when you see her can you tell her something ?
What is it ?
Sorry for being selfish.
Don't hate Sora-chan because of it !
Because Sora was selfish...
We can't see Mama right ?
That's not true !
Mama won't hate you !
She loves you Sora !
Really ?
Does Papa like Mama ?
I do.
Then why aren't you with her ?
Your Papa...
likes Mama but...
I didn't think about her feelings...
And I hurt her really bad.
Then why don't you say sorry to her ?
I'm sure Mama will forgive you !
If you do that, Mama and Shun-kun can all live together !
That's true.
If Sora gets good at riding the bicycle
Will Mama be happy ?
That's right !
Let's do it again !
I'm letting you !
[Plaintiff | Hibino Rena] When you realized you were pregnant
As a condition for Nagisa...
You told him to be in charge of housework and childcare right ?
Yes.
I just quit my job at the Toshiba interpreting company and became a freelancer...
And it was impossible to balance housework and childcare...
What about right now ?
It's been a while since you started your freelance job but...
Work is going well for you right now isn't it ?
I certainly have job offers but...
I'm weary that they might not be stable or if I can find another job right away.
Also, there are other changes due to the other party.
I see.
You're worried about getting back on track.
The you're not able to balance work and childcare ?
In these circumstances, Nagisa-san has changed.
So you're able to do the housework and childcare alone ?
It would be difficult to do it by myself
So I got my mother to help me out.
I wonder ?
Will you leave it all to your mother ?
Won't the Nagisa-san's situation happen again ?
I didn't leave everything to him !
I did some stuff too !
I would always make lunch for her
I gave her baths
I brushed her teeth
The why Sora-chan is in Shirakawa right now ?
That beacause, even tough her parents are in a trial...
He's still her father.
And she will be with him until April then go to elementary school.
So I figured she can stay with him until then.
Is that true ?
Yes.
I have a police record available right here.
This is a result of Sora-chan being lost then found at the police station.
"Mama was drinking sake and sleeping so I want Papa to pick me up ! "
That's what it says.
Objection !
She hasn't presented that evidence !
I'll submit this additional evidence right now.
I accept the submission of this evidence.
Children should live with their mothers !
" I tried to wake Mama up but
she told me "Get away!"
Mama becomes angry when she drinks sake !
When you were drinking sake and sleeping
Sora chan went to her dad's place alone
That's...
That's how it is right ?
Yes.
But...
I haven't drank sake since then.
It's okay now !
It's okay now ?!
While you were drunk
Sora chan left the house
She became lost while her mother wasn't aware of it.
Are you properly self-reflecting ?
Yes.
From now on, Sora is my top priority.
If you decline your work
Then you never know when the next job offer will come.
Didn't you say that you were going to prioritize work ?
That's not true !
I was just explaining my work !
I didn't mean that I was going to prioritize my work !
I'll make sure to balance work and childcare properly !
There you go again...
You said that you were going to make Sora chan the top priority
and you said that you were going to balance work and childcare
You get drunk and Sora chan gets lost without knowing it !
When I hear you speak
It's layered with temporary statements !
I cannot feel the responsibility you need to have as a mother !
Rather than spending time nurturing Sora chan
You want to improve your work career don't you ?
That's not true !
I love Sora...
Sora chan's favorite food !
Do you know what is it ?
Sora chan's favorite book !
Do you know what is it ?
What do you know about Sora chan ?!
That's enough !
Please stop it.
What are you doing ?
Please don't make disorderly statements today.
We're in the interrogation process right now.
Are you
being serious right now ?
Judge !
The defendant Nagisa Hibino
Would like to file a settlement solution.
Well...
It's irregular but...
What does the plaintiff think ?
I'll listen the defendant's proposal.
So now...
It'll be a discussion between both parties and the two lawyers only.
I ask everyone else to leave.
It'll now be competition for the young child.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Up until now...
I've been selfish...
And I've hurt the most precious people to me.
If I think about my wife and child...
Then I should be able to hold myself back a little bit.
But I wasn't able to do that.
I have no excuse for what happened afterwards.
I'm deeply sorry for what happened.
I was able to spend a lot of time giving childcare to Sora.
But...
The reason why I had so much time to spend with Sora...
Is because of my wife's hard work.
My wife should have been able to spend time with Sora and see her grow.
Yet...
I've been just thinking about myself.
And I didn't understand my wife's feelings at all.
Rena !
I'm really sorry for all that has happened !
And...
Thanks for everything.
This time...
I want Sora to live with you.
I'll leave Sora to you !
We could have won at that rate.
I'm sorry...
But I couldn't continue at that rate.
We were attacking each other when we were the most vulnerable.
It's too bad but
If that's what you decided, then that might be for the best.
Do your best !
Thank you very much.
Hello, Misato-chan ?
Can you put Sora on the phone ?
Hold on a second.
Sora-chan !
It's from your Papa !
Papa ?
I'm taking the doggie for a walk !
Then he just took a poopie so I'm picking it up !
Is that so !
You were picking up his poop ?
Papa...
Were you able to say it ?
Say what ?
Did you say sorry to Mama ?
Mama forgave you right ?
See ?
Misato-chan Papa and Mama made up !
Bye bye !
One month later
Excuse me, can we go to the elementary school nearby?
She's not speaking to anyone ?
Yes. Had Sora-chan has difficulties getting to know people since kindergarten ?
No... That shouldn't be the case.
If you would have to say, she's more of a people person.
Your child's personality in elementary school
is greatly affected by her home environment.
We try to care for her the best we can at school but...
you need to cautious about your actions and behavior at home.
Okay...
Make sure to do the proper strokes with the brush.
If you don't do firm strokes, it will fade out like that.
You see how light it is ?
Let's try to write some more.
Yeah.
Not "yeah".
"Yes"
Flip it over again.
You have it the opposite way.
I'm worried about her development right now.
I want to spoil her more.
You cant !
If you spoil her, she will expect it.
Then if you try not to discipline her, she will become rebellious.
Just like you.
Is that right ?
Do you have hand cream on ?
I don't.
That's not good !
Your hands will dry out !
Are you nervous ?
Your hands are a little sweaty.
What ?
Hello.
I'm home !
Welcome home !
Why ?
It's amazing right ?
Are your feet on the pedals ?
Papa, are you doing well ?
Shun-kun are you doing well ?
When the day comes, please give me a letter.
Farewell !
Sora.
Shun !
Papa ! Shun-kun !
Sora !
Thanks.
This is cute isn't it ?
Cute ! Did she buy it for you ?
That's good !
Is school fun ?
Did you make friends ?
I did ! 10 friends !
10 friends ?
In the same class ?
In the same class !
Look !
I can ride it !
Papa !
Are you watching me ?
I'm watching you !
Sora !!
Amazing !
I can't ride the bicycle...
That's a secret between us.
You're fast ! Are you okay ?
I'm okay !!
Don't fall down ! Hey !
She's amazing !
Too fast !
Sora over here !
Go towards Mama !
Go towards Shun kun !
I'm going !
Sora !
Are you okay ?
I'm okay !
Are you hurt ?
She has become strong.
Yeah ! I'm strong !
