# CR --Enjoy.\N--Well, during this time of year... That goes out front. Got it. Thank you. Morning. It's also good for storing genomes. Please, take one! How was the dive yesterday, Tsuneo? I saw a Priolepis nocturna. That's quite a find! I was lucky the sea was so calm yesterday. You're on summer break from college? That's right. How about doing a dive next Wednesday? Sure! Bring some girls, too. Sorry? The fish will be our lovers at this rate. I want a human one, though. Right, Tsuneo? I don't have time. I start another\Npart-time job next Wednesday. You're wasting your youth. You only get one summer at age 22! Whatever. Tsuneo! Thank you. If I'm remembering right,\Nit was this way... Ahhhhhhh! Ouch... A-Are you okay? Kumiko! Kumiko, are you all right? Did you save her, young man? Thank you. You're welcome... Are you injured? I think I'm fine. I turn away for one second,\Nand someone pushes her. I almost had a heart attack. Ow! Why'd you do that? --Pervert.\N--What? Stop touching me, you pervert! The pervert is following us, Grandma. My house is this way. Shall I push? No. Born this way. What about our walk, Grandma? We're going home. No walks for a while. I don't want that! Tough. You can't have everything your way. Do you always take walks at this hour? I thought it'd be safer\Nand we wouldn't be seen. But the world is full of scary beasts. Here we are. Then I'll be going. Come on in. You haven't eaten, have you? Oh, drat. Is takoyaki okay?\NWe don't have any rice. Ah, that's all right. Again? I keep putting him out, but he returns. Don't touch him, Kumiko.\NHe may have fleas. Scat! He's only here for some free food. Really? Do you feed him often? I was talking about you. He's not a friend, just a pervert. He can understand you? Of course he can't. Are you stupid? "Hurry up and leave my territory." That's what he's saying. Hey, Kumiko... Josee. My name isn't Kumiko. It's Josee. Josee? Thank you for the meal. Have seconds. Thank you. I can't afford\Nto buy another box lunch. You must be very poor. Are you a student? Yes. I live alone in a nearby apartment. I'm poor, but I'm trying to save money. Nobody asked for that much information. I'm thirsty, Grandma. Barley tea or water? --Barley tea.\N--Coming right up. Just a second. Ah, allow me. It's okay. Don't let your food get cold. This must be it. Here. You're pretty demanding. Ow, that's hot! What's her problem? Kumiko can't hold cups with tea inside. Can't she use a bottle or something, then? You're a funny young man. The food was delicious. Sorry to stay so long. Nonsense. We don't often have guests. Goodbye. You said you were saving money, right? A new job? Someone I met said they'd\Nintroduce me. It pays real well. What about this job? I'll continue, of course. Where's the joy in working so much? The person who recommended me was female.\NYou want an introduction, Hayato? Seriously?! An elderly woman who's about 80. Seriously... Move those hands, Hayato. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen the toolbox? The metal lid was broken, so I fixed it. Thanks! I'm glad you're so thoughtful.\NIt makes me want you here full-time. I'll think about it. Not you. I meant Tsuneo Suzukawa here. I plan to study abroad after college. Didn't you know, Boss?\NHe's going to the Netherlands next year. It's Mexico. Ah, Mexico. I once swam\Nwith a baby sea lion in La Paz. So, you're studying abroad...\NWe're going to miss you. I haven't decided on which school, though. He hasn't saved enough, either.\NYou should raise his hourly pay. While you're at it, raise mine, too! Are you done checking the machines? I'll get right on it! What's wrong, Mai? It's nothing... Why don't you tell me\Nabout this part-time job that pays well? You're to follow Kumiko's orders. --What?\N--Didn't I tell you? No, you didn't! So, basically...\NI would be working here? You'd be working here. Don't look so sullen. As long as you don't go out with Kumiko\Non your own, everything will be fine. Help yourself to anything in the fridge.\NThere's pre-made food in there, too. I'm leaving now. Go and ask Kumiko\Nif you have any other questions. Wait, where are you...? Hello. What should I do? --John, was it?\N--It's Josee! --Josee?\N--Stay away. He's telling intruders to leave. But I'm working here starting today. Kneel. On your knees. Okay, I'm kneeling. Do you wanna die? Why am I kneeling? Because I want to know how long\Na human can endure doing it. Do your job well. I'm going to make her cry. You've really changed in the past month. Is working for this Josee that difficult? It's way beyond difficult. Count the lines in the tatami mat. I can't sleep without knowing the answer. 5,208, 5,209, 5,210... ...5,211, 5,212... Oh, what a waste. I lost 8,000 yen at pachinko.\NI should've picked a different machine. 8,001, 8,002, 8,003... Ah. Start counting again. Go and bring me four-leaf clovers. Four-leaf clovers, four-leaf clovers,\Nfour-leaf clovers... Four-leaf clovers, four-leaf clovers... Here... Nothing's happening. It was a myth that collecting ten of\Nthem will make your wish come true. --What wish?\N--Don't speak to me. I'm busy. She looks meek, but then she speaks and\Nstings you! She's an Amakusa jellyfish! One of these days, I'll glue her\Ndoor shut so she can't leave! That's pretty underhanded! Wouldn't it be better if you quit? Don't\Nyou need to write your graduation thesis? But I really need the money... You don't have to work at that house. You have less hours at the shop, Tsuneo. I understand that you want to make money,\Nbut why not think about Mai... This is delicious, you know. Is Tsuneo here? Professor! There you are. Do you have some time? It's about your essay on Turing patterns. Do you remember how I sent it to a\Nprofessor at Mexico City University? It seems like he took a liking to it\Nand wants you to go study at the school. Thank you so much! That leaves the question of a scholarship. It'll be hard to pay with your finances. I'll study Spanish harder! I'll rewrite\Nmy research plan and application form! Well, being eager is great and all, but\Nif you work too hard it'll go to waste. Don't push yourself too hard. Okay. I thought you were asleep. --Grandma, can't we start going walking-- --No!\N--Grandma, can't we start going walking-- What if you get pushed again?\NCan you protect yourself? Listen to me. The world... "...is full of scary beasts." Right? I know. Then stay home. How nice. You're free to go anywhere. Even if I wait, nothing will happen. Hello! I'll miss the money, but Hayato is right. Hey, I have to talk to you. I've decided to quit. Are you listening? Kumiko! Kumiko! What's wrong? Young man, Kumiko is missing! Wait! Where are you going? It's none of your business! Hey, let me go! You're leaving by yourself? --Why don't we call it a day...? --I want you to take me there.\N--Why don't we call it a day...? I want you to take me to the sea. If you don't, I'll say you touched\Nmy chest and make sure you're fired. Do what you want. Let's go back. This will cost you extra. It's 280 yen. It's for the ticket. I have a rail card. --Is something wrong?\N--It's nothing. It's Tsuneo. I found Kumiko. E-Excuse me... I'll return with her as soon as I can.\NWell... I'm very sorry! Tigers... There are tigers everywhere. Tigers? Hey. Hey, where are you going? Home. Huh? Didn't you want to go to the sea? You were so insistent. Hey, you bumped into her! What? She bumped into me. Are you serious? What a jerk. Hey, watch it!! --Shut up, granny!\N--Mess with me and I'll rip out\Nyour heart and feed it to you! I'm sorry! What do you want to do, Josee? Are we going or not? Be careful. Isn't it that way? No, it's this way. So, it's this way... Where's the elevator? Why are there so many people? Beats me. This isn't my first time on a train! Are you picking a fight? No. I was wondering how you saw the world. Forests, deserts, New York, Paris... I've never imagined them that way. I was surprised that you knew how to draw. You went in my room without permission? If that sea existed, it would be nice... You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker. Caretaker? Starting today, you're my caretaker. What's with that? --Look! An airplane!\N--Really? Where? Where is it? It's like a dream... It won't be easy on sand. Are you okay? Don't push yourself too hard. Hey! I was given a quiz. My dad once asked me,\N"How does the sea taste?" When I was a child, I had him\Nbring me to the sea once. But I was too scared\Nof the waves to go near it. He died without telling me the answer. I learned from books\Nthat it's salty, but... This may be my last chance to find out! What are you doing? Put me down, you pervert! Stop! Don't you want to check for yourself? It's salty... It really is salty! Why is it so salty? I'm happy for you. Hey! Stop moving so much! It's salty! It's really salty! Hey! "No going out!" Didn't I tell you to come back right away? If you do this again, I'll cut it off. I understand... Why did you come with me? I have a soft spot for people\Nwho want to visit the sea. I love seeing schools of fish,\Nso I go diving often to see them swimming. I even work part-time at a diving shop. You know what a real sea looks like?\NYou've even swam with fish? Well, yeah. That's amazing... Do you have other places you want to go? Grandma takes a nap from one to three. Is this the first time\Nyou've eaten a crêpe? No. I've eaten them with my boyfriends. I'm popular. I've dated five at once. Sure, sure. Here we go... Are you okay? I never knew there were so many blues! --Let's ride that!\N--What? Hey, wait! Hurry up! This is amazing! Where's my house? Can we see Osaka Castle?\NHey, Caretaker! Afraid of heights? There we go. I'll make tonight's dinner, Grandma. You'll do what? Yukichi, come here. Yukichi? That's his name. You can't name him like that! Make this chair two millimeters higher. That was pretty good. Wasn't it? Stop that! Wait a minute! Stop that! We're in the sea... It's a seal! That's a California sea lion. It has horns! It's a Naso unicornis. There's a big one! Whale shark. What about the ones who became a group? Those are Japanese jack mackerels. One type sticks to reefs,\Nbut the other swims the open seas. The latter form unique schools\Nat middle to low ocean depths. They differ in shape, color, and habitat. Gold and black mackerel stick to reefs.\NRockfish take to the open sea. It's a job opportunity for Kumiko. You're as pesky as the rest. --She must be able to live independently-- -- "It's the consultant's job to support."\N--She must be able to live independently-- I'm sick and tired of hearing that. I've said this repeatedly, but keeping\Nher at home isn't in her best interests. I'm sure Kumiko's deceased\Nparents are worried as well. You don't understand anything! I won't take Kumiko outside. However, she's been going out a lot. She thinks she's slipping past me. She's going out by herself? I didn't think he would take\Nher outside. I was shocked. You'd be surprised if you saw her now. She looks like that Dotonbori Glico sign. I'm sorry? As if she's ready to take off running. It's a sea of books... Josee? Oh, it's you, Caretaker. Didn't that say "Josee"? The main character's name is Josee. Françoise Sagan... That's the sequel to this one,\Nthe conclusion I've longed to read. Hmm. It sounds like it'll put me to sleep. I wouldn't expect an uncouth person\Nlike you to understand Sagan's talent. Go and borrow these two books. We need to make a library card. "Lost Profile" Is this your first time borrowing a book? Then, please fill out this form. Do you like Sagan? So do I! Which of her works is your favorite? I'm sorry. This is my first time meeting\Nanother Sagan fan, so I'm pretty happy. Those Without Shadows. You have great taste. Have you read The Unmade Bed? --That and Those Without Shadows share... --Josee, I borrowed them both.\N--That and Those Without Shadows share... Is this your boyfriend? He calls you Josee. How nice! No, you're wrong! He's not my boyfriend... She wouldn't waste her time on me.\NAfter all, Josee is pretty popular. She even had five boyfriends at once. Shut up, fool! I'll beat you senseless! Enough about that. I want to read the\Nbook you were talking about earlier, too. Ah, the one about Beatrice... Aren't you glad you made a friend? A friend? The librarian we just met. Kana and I are friends now? That's what it looked like to me. Kana and I are the same age. How old are you, Josee? Twenty-four. Huh, you're older than me? No, it's nothing. So, you and\NKana are the same age, huh? Kana's amazing. She talks to so\Nmany different people every day. When you work, it becomes normal. I talk\Nto customers when I'm at the diving shop. Really? Hey, it's Tsuneo... Hey. You're Josee... right? It's a perfect strike... Hello. I'm Tsuneo's best friend,\NHayato Matsuura. Would you trade LINE IDs with me? Really... I don't have one. She's a fairy...\NA fairy living in analogue! Knock it off. What do you want to do? Sorry, I'll see you later. Welcome! A party of three... You don't have to worry about him. Please take a seat, everyone. Huh, what happened? I was in the area,\Nso I decided to stop by. How can I help you today? Um, we want to get our diving licenses... I see. It's nice to meet you. I'm Mai Ninomiya. Tsuneo's told me so much about you. If there's anything I can do, just ask. Ah, I saw a clown frogfish yesterday! Really? Were you able to take a photo? Because of the swells,\NI couldn't really... I'm leaving. But we just got here. Josee? Sorry. Did Josee leave already? She was a type we don't have around here.\NFair-skinned, elegant, cute, ephemeral-- Please get back to work! --What's wrong?\N--Shut up, you fool! You're the one who wanted to see my job. I shouldn't come to places like this. Places like this? I don't know why\Nyou don't like it here, but... You wouldn't understand! Yeah, I don't! I don't need your help. But if you're alone... Tell the caretaker to not come anymore. What happened? Just tell him to not come anymore! I'll do just that, then. I'm a mess, Yukichi. I don't have to come anymore? I understand. No, I don't! Isn't it good? I'm real proud of it. Um, this here... Excuse me for a moment. What is it? I was given a scholarship to study abroad! That's great! When do you plan on leaving? Next March. School begins in September, but the professor wants me\Nto leave as soon as I graduate. I see... Then that means we'll only have\Nsix more months left to work together. You've been coming here alone lately.\NWhat happened to Tsuneo? Who cares about that good-for-nothing? Good-for-nothing? He's useless, takes up a lot of space... Eats way too much, and fawns over girls! What's so funny? You're way too easy to figure out, Josee. What are you talking about? Kana! Rio! Read this! What's wrong? I read books to children around this time. A staff member suddenly quit, though. Excuse me! I'll be there right away! I'm sorry about that. Read this, Miss! The Little... Mermaid. She's going to read to us! I don't think I can... Hurry up and read! --Hurry!\N--We're waiting! --Read the book!\N--What about the rest? --What's wrong?\N--Keep reading! "At the bottom of a limpid\Nblue sea stood a pearl palace where six mermaid princesses lived. They loved listening to the king's tales\Nof the world above the sea. 'When you all grow up, go to the surface\Nand see the flying birds, exotic plants, and the lights of the city, '\Nthe king stated. The princesses waited with anticipation\Nfor that day to come, until finally... 'Farewell, prince.' The Little Mermaid\Ntossed away the knife she was given, plunged off the boat, and into the sea. Her body began to melt into sea foam..." I can't read stories very well. Hey! What did the princesses' castle look like? Look, it's the Mermaid Kingdom! It really is the Mermaid Kingdom. Josee, you're an illustrator? No way! Really? It's a shame that more people\Naren't able to see such lovely pictures. What if you made an anthology?\NYou could even publish it online-- I can't! Sorry... Good evening. Leave! Dimwits like you aren't allowed! What're you doing? It's made pretty well, right? Did you make this, Caretaker? Yes, this caretaker made it. No wonder it's so ugly. What kind of fish is it? A Clarion angelfish. It's a rare species only found in Mexico. When I was a kid,\Nmy local fish store had one, and I fell in love with it. I'd visit every day after school and\Nstare at it for what felt like forever. When I learned it was a species\Nthat swam in schools, my interest grew. I thought, "It must really want\Nto be with its family, too." What do you mean? My parents are divorced. My dad left home, and my mom\Nwas always busy with work. I don't think that Clarion angelfish\Nwas really all that sad, though. After all, you visited him every day. It's my dream to see a group of\NClarion angelfish schooling together. I've studied hard, tried to save money... Because they're hard to find, I wouldn't\Nbe able to see them on a trip, either. That's a nice dream. I hope it comes true. Actually, next year... This is defective! That's odd. There, all fixed. Ow! Ow... Why'd you do that? Hello! Come on, let's go. Kumiko! Grandma, the world isn't all that scary. I'm scared I'm going to have nightmares... You're scared? Didn't you want to see it? I wanted to see the\Nscariest thing here... with you. I thought I could if you were with me. Me? To cling to. If I get scared, I can cling to you. Ow, ow, ow, ow... I read a book to children the other day. You did? What book did you read? The Little Mermaid. Wow, that's amazing. I wasn't able to read the story well.\NI was nervous and couldn't look up... I was scared. But then I drew a picture,\Nand the children loved it... I want to draw more. More? As work. I want to make art my profession. I want to try harder, like you. Well, I love... ...your drawings. You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker! Cherry blossoms fall\Nlike rain during spring. My dad used to bring me here. It must be beautiful... If you want to see it, bring me next year. Caretaker? It's nothing. Did you hear about Ms. Yamamura? She's had a bad heart for some time. She was also quite old. The morticians left. If you need to talk, I'm here to talk\Nabout what you want to do next. Grandma left me a small amount of money. I'll be okay for a while. I see. But I can't afford it. I can't afford to pay you anymore. Okay. "Out of air" It's rare for you to lose\Ntrack of your air, Tsuneo. You seem distracted today. I know. You hit on a girl and got reject-- Josee's grandmother died. She's all alone now. She must be going through a lot... That's worrisome... But Josee isn't a child. There's plenty\Nof welfare services and facilities. "Free yourself from life.\NFrom that which others call life. Be free from emotion, from one's\Nstrengths, one's own weaknesses. Be but one momentary breath,\None-millionth of a billion nebulas." Are you home, Ms. Kumiko? It's Mizushima. This is Mr. Fujita. He's a social worker. The resident's association chairman\Ngot a call from one of your neighbors. They heard your grandmother passed\Nand felt you needed assistance. It's none of their business. How do you plan to live going forward? Art. I'm planning... on making art. So, you're going to become an artist? You? I think it's wonderful to have a dream. Yeah, but dreams are one thing, and\Nreality is another. You should know that. Stop being foolish and search for a job... Your grandmother's not here to spoil you. Mr. Fujita! Is there someone else who'll support you? Are you okay? Um... we met some time ago. What do you want? I remember Tsuneo told me that you\Nlived along the river near Ni-Chome. Instead of splitting up and searching,\Nshouldn't we ask Tsuneo for her address? What do you want? Please set Tsuneo free! Wait, we came to cheer her up! He's worked so hard for his dream! He's studying Spanish, working many jobs\Nto save money, planning to study abroad... Abroad? Tsuneo is going to Mexico next March. Didn't he tell you? Would you support his dream? --At this rate-- --Why do I have to hear this from you?\N--At this rate-- What's your relationship to him? He only feels sympathy toward you. Tsuneo stays with you out of sympathy. What are you saying? Don't mind her! Hey, wait up! What types of cytoplasm?\NThat's right, cytoplasmic genomes. Consider them a place to store genomes. "The Little Mermaid" Hello. Josee, I bought some taiyaki... Why did you come here? Josee? This room... I had a helper come and clean for me.\NThey're going to come here once a month. --What about your art?\N--I threw it all away. What? Why? It has nothing to do with you. If you don't have anything to say, leave. I'll fix it right away. I want to go to the sea. This'll be your last job as my caretaker. Do you want to go up to the water's edge? Right here is fine. Should I go buy you\Nsomething warm to drink? No thanks. It's salty. Josee... I don't need money.\NDon't call this my last job! Josee! I'm no longer Josee. I've decided to work at an office. Even so, why did you throw away your art? It was out of my reach! It's always been that way. The red balloon caught on the roof,\Nthe cicada husk on the tree... Walking under an umbrella in the rain,\Nrunning up the steps of a shrine... All of it... I'm not reaching for anything any longer. Then why do you look so sad? Don't give up on what you love! You're leaving soon, aren't you? The able-bodied wouldn't understand. Josee! Josee... Caretaker... Caretaker... Caretaker! Caretaker! Tsuneo! Are you all right? Hello, there's been a traffic accident! Remove the scoop! --I'm beginning to cut away the clothes.\N--Pulse 120. BP 70 over 40.\NSaturation 94%. Maintain 10 liters of air. --Did you confirm the peripheral?\N--Not yet. Confirmed, hurry! Eighteenth gauge, open! --Cross match. Don't forget the blood gas!\N--Yes! X-ray standby! Airways clear and respiration steady. We're beginning the echocardiogram. First negative. It's not a pneumothorax. Mr. Suzukawa! Mr. Tsuneo\NSuzukawa! Can you hear me? If you can, open your eyes, Mr. Suzukawa! Do you know where you are? Um... You were in a traffic accident\Nand admitted to the emergency room. I'll go and call the doctor. About the girl in the wheelchair... Ah, we asked her to go home for the day. She insisted on waiting until you woke up. Was she injured anywhere? She wasn't. How do you feel? I heard I was in an accident. You suffered a concussion,\Nbut it's nothing to worry about. Your internal organs\Nare all right. However... Your right shinbone's broken at the ankle. You have an open fracture. Emergency surgery was done\Nto prevent infection at the wound. We fixed the fracture with\Nscrews and a plate. It will take two months before\Nit can bear your full weight. Two months... One more thing. Surgery couldn't unite\Nthe joint surfaces perfectly. There's risk of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis... You may have joint pain and stiffness and won't be able to walk\Nor run as you did before. The hairline fracture in your left arm\Nmay make crutches hard to use for a while. Will I heal? It's hard to say at this stage. Josee... I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I seem to be in pretty bad shape... Even rehab might not fix everything. If it turns out I can't walk again, I... I'm going to sleep. Shut up! You don't need to come, Mom.\NDoesn't your back still hurt? It's no big deal, I swear. I'll come visit after I leave. Yeah. Bye. Professor... How are you, Tsuneo? I apologize if I worried you. Listen, about you studying abroad... They'd like another student to come\Nnext March if you can't make it. It's sad, but you'll get another chance. You should focus on getting well for now. That's not the problem. I may not be able to dive anymore... If I can't, going abroad\Nwill be meaningless. So, rotate your ankle\Nand flex your toes as best you can. When the swelling goes down,\Nwe can shift to your rehabilitation. Tsuneo. I bought you some flan. Thanks. You started your rehabilitation, right? Yeah. I'll put this in the fridge. My parents send me rice and\Nvegetables, so my fridge is packed. Recently, they even-- "Spanish Grammar" Why don't we get some fresh air? Feel free to say what's on your mind. I'm here to give you my support. It doesn't matter anymore.\NStudying abroad, Mexico. I thought I was stronger than this. Please don't give up. You can work hard with rehab-- Work hard? What if that doesn't matter? I didn't understand anything. How scary it is to reach\Nfor something you want. I... I love you, Tsuneo! I knew you didn't want a girlfriend\Nbecause you're about to study abroad, but I couldn't give up... I can't help it... I'm hopelessly in love with you! How did it turn out this way? Mai, I... I already know. I don't need an apology or your gratitude. I hate women who cry in front of men. But... ...I'm glad I was able to tell you. We should get back. I know you're there! Open the door! If you don't... Go away! Don't come back! Tsuneo's given up on studying abroad. So now I'm making him mine. I'll give him the love he needs, so he'll\Nforget about the sea and his dreams. I didn't want him to go to Mexico, anyway. I wanted him to forget his stupid dream. I wanted him to stay by my side...\NI've always wanted that, forever. I know him so much better than you. About his love for talking about fish...\NAbout how he's horrible at humming... About how he always uses rock first\Nwhen he plays in rock paper scissors... He loves flan, hates cucumbers,\Nsplits chopsticks badly, has cold hands... I could name a hundred, even two hundred\Nmore things than you. I know him better... Don't stay silent! Say something! My caretaker won't ever give up! He'll never forget about fish\Nor abandon his dream! After all, that's who he is! You know that, right? I can't name a hundred things, but... No one can beat my feelings toward him! If that's true, then do something! They're salty... You're pretty clumsy. I'm a good woman! Why don't we go out\Nfor some Korean BBQ, then? You're paying, of course. What? Josee... I have a request. I think you should make each character\Nspeak about their personal feelings more. Let them say things such as, "How nice!" I got it. Hey, Brunet. Josee? Lend me your face. Huh? "Lost Profile" "I desired nothing\Nbut my escape from him. That is all. Upon reflection, it was a pitiful story." It's done. Ta-da! What's this? Can't you tell? An approval to leave slip. I'm not asking about that.\NWho told you to file one? I figured you might've needed a breather. Sorry, but I'm not in the mood. Don't be such a bore, Tsuneo.\NLet's go and have some fun! Stop bothering me! When you run out of air,\Nit's my role to help you. I'll help you breathe,\Nso just shut up and follow me. What's happening? Just listen. This is...! T-The Mermaid and the Radiant Wings. "From the floor of the deep blue sea,\Nfestive music is heard. It's a mermaid's 20th birthday,\Nwhen she can leave the sea." You're doing fine. "The mermaid received\Na magic shell as a gift. The magic shell then spoke. 'You can use me to turn into a human,\Nand then back into a mermaid again. But you must not wish for anything else. For if you do,\Nyou'll turn to sea foam and vanish.' 'I understand, ' said the mermaid,\Nwho proceeded to swim ashore. 'O shell, turn me into a human.' Her fins then became graceful legs. 'How nice!' the mermaid said\Nas she began to climb up a hill. But the outside world was full of danger. A ferocious tiger appeared before her." "The mermaid tried to run,\Nbut she lost her footing and fell. Clinging to a rock, she yelled, 'Help!' Just then, a young man with pure white\Nwings descended from the sky to save her. 'Thank you. Those are lovely wings.' The young man smiled\Nat the mermaid's words. 'When spring comes, I'm taking flight.' The young man had a dream." "It was to fly to a shining sea far away. It was a sea where bright orange\Nfish swam together as a family. It was a sea full of fun and clamor. The young man and mermaid became\Nfriends and went to many places together. 'Every place makes my heart dance\Nwith such joy! I feel like skipping!' The mermaid's worldview\Ngrew with each experience. The seasons changed, and spring arrived. The day of the young man's\Ndeparture for the shining sea came. The mermaid was sad at being apart,\Nso she ventured into the woods alone. A ferocious tiger appeared before her. Claws sharp and fangs bared,\Nit pounced on the mermaid. 'Look out!' cried the young man,\Nappearing just in time to save her. However, he was gravely injured. His gorgeous wings were also broken. Sobbing at the sleeping young man, the mermaid picked up the magic shell. 'Please save him.'" "Within seconds, his wounds healed\Nand the young man awakened. However, the young man's wings would\Nnever return to how they were before. 'I can no longer reach the shining sea, '\Nhe lamented to the mermaid. 'Please, raise your head. After all... you have\Nlarger wings in your heart. You guided me with those wings and used them to push me forward. With wings of the heart,\Nyou can fly anywhere.' The young man set off for\Nthe shining sea by boat. No matter rain or stormy winds,\Nthe young man continued to push ahead. 'I'm not afraid! I'm going\Nto make my dream come true!' The wings in his heart were\Nstrong, supple, beautiful... ...and most of all, unbreakable. 'I found it. It's the shining sea!' The young man dived in with delight and began swimming together\Nmerrily with the orange fish. 'I'm glad his wish was able to come true. O shell, please turn me to sea foam now.' However, her legs just returned to fins, and nothing else in particular occurred. The magic shell then spoke. 'Wishing for another's benefit and\Nnot your own will never make you vanish.'" "So with a heart filled\Nwith memories like shining jewels, the mermaid returned to\Nthe seabed of the deep blue sea. The End." Why are you hiding? He might be able to make it! All right! Yukichi, my caretaker walked today. Stray cats shouldn't be so spoiled. I shouldn't get spoiled. I need to fight the tiger alone. The date for my hospital\Ndischarge has been decided. As long as I make weekly visits\Nfor treatment, I'll be all right. Really... That's great. Thanks. I'm not sure about the aftereffects... But I'm going to Mexico, no matter what. I have wings of the heart now, too. It'll turn out well. So, the date for my discharge\Nwill be on the 24th. Well, about that... Will you come and meet me? At 10 in the morning. Josee? I'm just so happy. Thank you. Josee? Josee! Josee... Here. Kana! Tsuneo, congratulations\Non getting discharged! --Where's Josee?\N--I haven't seen her today. I'm sorry. You're right about that. Big trouble! Josee's missing! If you're looking for a woman in a\Nwheelchair, she boarded a minute ago. Do you know where she got off? Attention, guests. The zoo\Nwill be closing in a few minutes. Please ensure you have all\Nyour belongings and prepare to go home. Josee. Stop! I'm sorry! Josee! Ouch... You all right, Josee? What about you? Your leg... You just got discharged... In my panic to find you,\NI found myself running. Why... I decided to become\Na picture book illustrator. I plan to stand on my own two feet. You've pushed me\Nforward long enough, so... I'm not doing this for you. I wasn't doing this for you... I want to stay as your caretaker. What about the Clarion angelfish? When your leg heals,\Nyou're going to Mexico. I'll leave, but... I love you, Josee! I... I... I love you too, Caretaker! It's not at all like I imagined. Um... Do you mean that in a bad way? I meant that in a good way. --Pretty, huh?\N--Yeah. It really is cherry blossom rain. Did you die? --What?\N--Are you a ghost? I'm home for spring break. You didn't tell me! I wanted to surprise you, Josee. You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker!

# MaxEffort Enjoy. Well, during this time of year... Can you put it out front? Got it. Thank you! Morning. It can also be used to store genomes. Take it. Have one, please! Tsuneo? Yeah? How did your last dive go? I saw a Blackbarred Reefgoby. That's a rare find! I was lucky the sea was so calm yesterday. You're on summer break from college? That's right. Then how about doing a dive next Wednesday? Sure! Bring some girls along, too. Excuse me? At this rate, I'd be hooking up with a fish for a girlfriend! I prefer someone human. Right, Tsuneo? I can't make it. I got another part-time starting next Wednesday. You're basically wasting your youth away, man! We only get one summer when we're 22! Whatever. Tsuneo! Thank you, come again. I think this is the right way... Ouch... A-Are you okay? Kumiko! Kumiko, are you all right?! Are you the one who saved her, young man? Thank you. Sure... Did you get hurt? I-I'm fine. I turn away for one second, and someone decides to push her. I almost had a heart attack. That hurts! Why'd you— Pervert. Huh? Keep your hands off me! You pervert! The pervert's following us, Grandma. It's just that my house is this way... You want me to push? No. She's always like this. What about our walk, Grandma? We're going home. We'll have no more walks for a while. I don't want that! Tough luck, then. You don't always get to have everything your way. Do you always go out this late? I thought it'd be safer and nobody would bother us too much. But the world is indeed full of scary beasts. Here we are. Then I'll get going. Come on in. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Oh, drat. You okay with some takoyaki, son? Seems we're out of rice. That's fine. You're here again? He keeps finding ways to get in. Don't touch him, Kumiko. He might have fleas. Scat! He's only here for the free food. Really? Do you feed him often? I was talking about you. What? He's not a friend, just a pervert. He can understand you? Of course he can't. Are you stupid? "Hurry up and leave my territory," that's what he's saying. Hey, Kumiko... Josee. Huh? It's not Kumiko. I'm Josee. Josee? Thanks for the meal. We got some more if you want. I appreciate that, ma'am. I needed to buy another lunchbox \Nbut I couldn't afford it, so thanks. Sounds like you're strapped for cash. Are you a student? Yes, ma'am. I live alone in an apartment nearby. Well, I'm having a hard time financially but I'm trying to save money. Nobody asked for your life story. I'm thirsty, Grandma. Would you like barley tea or water? Tea, please. Coming right up. Just a second. Oh, I can do it. It's okay. Can't let your food get cold, young man. This one, right? Here. You're pretty spoiled. That's hot! What was that for? Kumiko can't hold cups with hot tea inside. So then, can't she use a bottle or something? You're a funny young man. Thanks for having me. Sorry for imposing. Nonsense, we don't often have guests. I'll be— You mentioned about saving money, right, son? You got another job? I met someone by chance, said they'd introduce me. And the pay's good. But what about this one? I'll stay, of course. Where's the fun in working so many part-time jobs? You interested, Hayato? The person who recommended me was female. Seriously?! Yeah, a grandma in her eighties. Seriously... Move those hands, Hayato. Yeah, yeah. Say, you know where the toolbox is? About that... the hinges were broken, so I fixed them. Thanks! You've always been a thoughtful employee. Makes me wanna hire you full-time. I'll think about it. Not you. I was talking to Suzukawa. I plan to study overseas after college. Huh? Didn't you know, Boss? He's going to the Netherlands next year. It's Mexico, actually. Mexico, huh? I swam with a baby sea lion in La Paz once. So you're really going overseas? We're sure gonna miss you. I haven't decided on a school to attend, though. And he hasn't saved up enough, either. You should raise his hourly pay. Mine too, while you're at it! You done checking the machines? I'll get right on it! You okay, Mai? Y-Yeah... Why don't you tell me about this part-time job you mentioned? Follow whatever orders Kumiko gives you. I'm sorry? Didn't I tell you already? Not really... So basically, I'll be working here, then? That's correct. Don't look so glum now. As long as you don't take her out anywhere on your own, we won't have any problems. Help yourself to anything in the fridge. I made a couple of dishes, too. Well then, I'm off. Kumiko can answer your other questions. Wait, where are you... Hello... What do you wanna do? John, was it— It's Josee! Josee? Peek and you're dead. "Intruders aren't welcome!" that's what he's saying. Only problem is, I start working here today. Kneel. What? Get on your knees. I'm kneeling. Do you have a death wish? Why am I kneeling? I wanna know how long a person can endure it. What?! Do your job well. I'm seriously gonna make her regret it! You really changed in the past month, Tsuneo. Is working for this Josee really that difficult for you? It's way more than that. Count the lines on the tatami mat. Huh?! I can't sleep without knowing the answer. 5,208, 5,209, 5,210... 5,211, 5,212, 5,213, 5,214... Oh, what a waste! I can't believe I lost 8,000 on pachinko. 5,215, 5,216... Should've picked that other machine! 8,001, 8,002, 8,003— You should start over. Bring me four-leaf clovers. Four-leaf clovers, four-leaf clovers... Four-leaf clovers, four-leaf clovers... Here. It's not working. Huh? So collecting ten of them for a wish was just a myth... A wish? Don't talk to me! I'm busy! She acts all helpless and meek, but it's just sting, after sting, after sting whenever she talks! Like an Amakusa jellyfish! One of these days, I'll glue her door shut so she can't leave! That's pretty harsh! Then wouldn't it be better if you just quit? There's your thesis to worry about. But I really need the cash... My point is, you don't have to work at that house. We rarely see you at the shop nowadays, Tsuneo. I get that you wanna make more money, but all this neglect is making poor Mai— Isn't this super delicious? Is Suzukawa here? Professor! There you are. Could we talk? It's about your essay on Turing patterns. Well, do you remember that I sent it \Nto a professor at Mexico City University? Seems like he was impressed. He wanted you to study there. Th-Thank you so much! All that's left is applying for a scholarship since going abroad is gonna be financially difficult. I'll work harder on my Spanish! I'll fine-tune my research plan and redo my application form! Now, now, being eager's great and all, but too much will only burn you out. Don't push yourself too hard, okay? Of course. I thought you were asleep. Grandma... can we start taking walks— No! What if someone pushes you again? Will you be able to protect yourself? I always tell you that the world... is full of scary beasts. "is full of scary beasts," right? I know that. If you already do, then stay here. Must be nice, huh? You're free to go anywhere... while I'm stuck here doing nothing. Good afternoon! Maybe Hayato was right, but I'm gonna miss having extra money. Hey, I've got something to tell you. I decided to quit. Are you listening? Kumiko! Kumiko! Did something happen? It's you, boy! Kumiko's gone! Wait! Where are you going? It's none of your business! Hey, let go of me! You're going alone? Why don't we— Take me. Take me to see the ocean. If you don't, I'll say you groped me and make sure you get fired. Do whatever you want. I'm going back. This will cost extra, y'know. It's 280 yen. What? For your ticket, 'cause I'll be using my rail card. Something wrong? I-It's nothing! Ma'am, it's Suzukawa. I found Kumiko. E-Excuse me... Oh... We'll come back as soon as we can. About that... I'm really sorry! Tigers... Tigers everywhere... Tigers? Hey! Hey, where are you going? Home. Didn't you wanna see the ocean? You were so insistent... Hey, you just bumped into her! What? She bumped into me. What's his deal? Can't believe the guy... Hey, watch it! Shut up, granny! What did you say?! Mess with me and I'll rip your hair out and feed it to you! I'm sorry! So, what do you wanna do, Josee? Are we going or not? Be careful. Isn't it that way... No, it's this way. Oh, okay. Elevator, elevator... Why are there so many people? Beats me. Uh, th-this isn't my first time on a train! You trying to pick a fight? No... I was just wondering how you saw the world. Like forests, deserts... New York or Paris... I've never seen them that way. Huh?! I was surprised you drew. You... You went into my room without permission?! That sea would be amazing if it were real... You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker. Caretaker? Starting today, you're my caretaker. What's with that? An airplane! Really?! But where? Where'd it go? It's like a dream... It won't be easy to roll on sand. Are you okay? Don't push yourself too hard. Hey! I was given a quiz. "What does the sea taste like?" That was one of my dad's questions. When I was a little girl, I made him take me to see the ocean. But I was too scared of the waves to go near it. And then he passed away... before he could tell me the answer. I learned from books that it tastes salty... but... this could be my last chance to find out! What are you doing?! P-Put me down, you pervert! S-Stop! Don't you wanna check for yourself? It's salty... It really is salty! Why is it like this? I'm happy for you. Don't move around too much! It's really, really salty! Hey! Didn't I tell you to come back right away? Do this again and I'll cut it off. Yes, ma'am. What made you change your mind? I have a soft spot for people who wanna see the ocean. Huh? I love seeing schools of fish, so I go diving often. I even work part-time at a diving shop. You know what the sea's really like? And you even swam with fish? Yeah... That's amazing... Do you have other places you wanna go? Grandma always takes a nap from one to three every day. Is this your first time eating crepe? Of course not. I've had them with my boyfriends. I'm pretty popular. I've dated five guys at one time. Sure, sure. Ready, and... You okay?! I never knew there were so many shades of blues! Let's ride that one! H-Hey, wait! Hurry up! This is incredible! Where do you think my house is? Can we see Osaka Castle? Hey, Caretaker... Afraid of heights? That should do it. I'll be cooking dinner tonight, Grandma. You'll do what? Come here,Yukichi. Yukichi? That's his name. You can't do that! Now, make this chair two millimeters higher! Huh? That was pretty good. Wasn't it? Hey, stop that! W-Wait... Stop... Stop that right now! It's like we're inside the ocean... It's a seal! That's a California sea lion. It has horns! That one's a unicornfish. That one's really huge! It's a whale shark. What about those things? Japanese mackerel. One type sticks to reefs, but the other swims the open water. The latter form unique schools at middle to low ocean depths. They differ in both shape and color. Gold and silver ones stick to reefs, \Nwhile black and blackthroat take to the open sea... It's a job opportunity for Kumiko. You're as pesky as the rest of them! She must be able to live on her own \Nand it's the consultant's job— "It's the consultant's job to provide support." I'm sick and tired of hearing that. I know I've said this many times, but keeping her at home isn't in her best interests. I'm sure her deceased parents are worried, as well. How would you know?! I will never let Kumiko take a step outside. However, she's been going out lately. She thinks I don't notice. Alone? I didn't think he would take her outside. I was shocked! You'd be surprised if you saw Kumiko now. She looks like that Dotonbori Glico sign. What? As if she's ready to take off running. It's a sea of books... "Josee"? Oh, it's you, Caretaker. Didn't that say "Josee"? That's the name of the main character. Françoise Sagan... That's the sequel to this one, \Nand I've wanted to read it for some time. This completes the series. Sounds like it'll put me to sleep. I wouldn't expect an uncouth person like you \Nto understand Sagan's talent. Go and borrow these two books. We'd need a library card. Is this your first time checking out a book? Then please fill out this form. Do you, perhaps, like Sagan? So do I! Which of her works is your favorite? O-Oh, I'm sorry! I got a little excited meeting another fan for the first time. "Th-Those Without Shadows"... What great taste... Have you read "The Unmade Bed"? That and "Those Without Shadows" \Nhave Beatrice as the protagonist— Josee, could you have this checked out, too? Your boyfriend? Huh?! He even calls you Josee! How wonderful! N-No, you're wrong! H-He's not my boyfriend! She wouldn't waste her time on me. After all, Josee is pretty popular. She even dated five boyfriends at one time. Sh-Shut up, you jerk, or I'll beat you senseless! Enough about that. I wanna read \Nthe book you were talking about earlier, too. Enough about that. I wanna read \Nthe book you were talking about earlier, too. Ah, the one about Beatrice... Ah, the one about Beatrice... Aren't you happy you made a friend? A friend? The librarian we just met. Is that what we are now? That's what it looked like to me. Kana and I are the same age. How old are you anyway, Josee? I'm 24. Wait, so you're older— Never mind. So, you and Kana are the same age, huh... She's amazing. She talks to so many different people every day. You get used to it when you have a job. Like how I talk to customers when I'm at the diving shop. Do you really? Hey, it's Tsuneo... Yo. You must be Josee, right? The perfect strike... I'm Matsuura Hayato, Tsuneo's best friend. Would it be okay if we... exchanged LINE IDs? Unbelievable... I don't really have one. She's a fairy! A fairy living in analog! Knock it off. Sorry, I'll talk to you later. Welcome! A party of three? You don't have to worry about him. This way, please. Please, take a seat. Oh, what brings you here? I was in the neighborhood. What can I do for you today? Well, we wanna have diving licenses. I see. I'm Ninomiya Mai. Nice to finally meet you. Tsuneo's told me so much about you. If there's anything you need, just ask, okay? Oh, right! I saw a clown frogfish yesterday! Really? You took a photo? I couldn't get the flash to work because of the swells. I'm leaving. But we just got here... Josee? Sorry. Did she leave already? You don't see a girl like that around here. One who's fair-skinned, elegant but cute, and ephemeral— Please get back to work! What's wrong? Shut up, you jerk! Weren't you the one who wanted to see where I work? I never should've gone to a place like this. What do you mean by that? I dunno why you don't like it here, but... You wouldn't understand! Yeah, I don't! Don't bother. But if you're alone... Tell the caretaker not to come here anymore. Did something happen? Could you please just tell him? Alright, then. I'm a mess, Yukichi. I don't need to come in? I understand. I don't get it! Ain't it good? Made it myself. Um, is this... Oh, just a moment. What is it? The scholarship I applied for... I finally got accepted! That's great news! When do you plan on leaving? Next March. School starts in September, but this professor wants me to go as soon as I graduate. That right? Then that means we'll only have \Nsix more months left to work together. You've been coming here by yourself lately. What about Tsuneo? Who cares about that good-for-nothing? "Good-for-nothing"? He's useless, takes up a lot of space... He eats way too much, and just fawns over girls! What's so funny? You're way too easy to read, Josee! Wh-What are you talking about?! Miss Kana! Rio! Read this for me! What's wrong? At this time of day, I usually read books to children. But a staff member recently quit. Excuse me? I'll be right there! Maybe next time. Would you do it, Miss? The... The Little M-Mermaid... She's about to start! I don't think I can... Go already! Hurry! We're waiting! Read the book! What about the rest? What's wrong? Do it! At-the-bottom-of-a-clear-blue-sea-stood\Na-palace-of-corals-and-pearls where-six-mermaid-princesses-lived. They-loved-listening-to-the-king's-tales-of-the-world-above. "When-you-all-grow-up, go-to-the-surface\Nand-see-the-flying-birds, exotic-plants, and-the-lights-of-the-city," the-king-said. The-princesses-waited-with-anticipation\Nfor-that-day-to-come, until-finally... "Farewell, dearest-prince." The-Little-Mermaid-tossed-away-the-knife-she-was-given, jumped-off-the-boat-and-into-the-sea. Her-body-began-to-dissolve-into-sea-foam-in-the-blink... I don't think I'm cut out to be a storyteller. Excuse me! What did the princesses' castle look like? Oh! It's the Mermaid Palace! It looks just like it. Josee, I didn't know you were an illustrator! I'm not! Really? But it'd be a shame if people can't see your amazing drawings. Have you thought about making an anthology? You could even publish it online— I can't! Sorry... Good evening. Get out! Idiots like you shouldn't be here! What're you doing... Pretty well-made, don'tcha think? Did you make this, Caretaker? This caretaker really did. No wonder it looks ugly. What kinda fish is it? A Clarion angelfish. It's a rare species that can only be found in Mexico. When I was a kid, my local fish store had one, and I fell in love right away. I'd visit every day after school \Nand stare at it for what felt like forever. When I learned it was a species \Nthat swam in schools, it piqued my interest. I thought, "It must really wanna be with its family, too." What do you mean? Actually, my parents are divorced. My dad left home, and my mom was always busy with work. I don't think it felt really sad, though. The angelfish, I mean. You came to visit every day, after all. It's my dream to see a group of them schooling together. I've studied hard, saved up money... Because they're so hard to find, I wouldn't be able to see them on just one diving trip. That's a nice dream. I hope it comes true. Actually, next year... It's defective! That's odd. There, fixed. Ow! Why did you do that?! It's me! Let's go. Kumiko! Grandma, the world isn't that scary. I'm scared I'll have nightmares about this... You're scared? But didn't you wanna see it? I did say I wanted to see the scariest thing here... with you. I thought I could, if you were with me. Why? To cling to. Because, if I get scared, I can cling to you. Ow, ow, ow... Just the other day, I read a book to children at the library. You did? What book was it? The Little Mermaid. Wow, that's amazing! But I didn't do so well. I was so nervous, and I couldn't look up from the pages... I was terrified. But then... I drew a picture, and they loved it. I wanna do more of that. More? As work. I wanna make art my profession. I wanna try harder. Just like you. Well, I love... your drawings. You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker. Cherry blossoms fall like rain during spring. My dad used to bring me here. Must've been beautiful. If you wanna see it, you can bring me next year. Caretaker? It's nothing. Did you hear about Miss Yamamura? She's had a bad heart for some time. Quite old, as well. The morticians left. If you need to figure out what to do next... you can always talk to me. Grandma left me some money. I'll be okay for a while. I see. But I can't afford it. I can't afford to have you as my caretaker anymore. Okay. Not like you to lose track of your air, Tsuneo. You seem kinda out of it today. I know the problem, you got rejected— Josee's grandmother passed away recently. That means she's all alone. Must be really tough for her, then. That's terrible. But you know Josee isn't a child. There's plenty of welfare services and facilities. "Free yourself from life. From that which others call life. Be free from emotion, from one's strengths, \None's own weaknesses. If only for a fleeting moment, a momentary breath \Nsomewhere amongst the countless galaxies" Are you home, Miss Kumiko? It's Mizushima. I've brought Mr. Fujita, a social worker. The resident's association chairman \Ngot a call from one of your neighbors. They heard your grandmother passed \Nand felt you needed assistance. It's none of their business. If I may, what're your plans going forward? Art. I plan on making art. In other words, you wanna be an artist? Is that right? I think it's admirable that you have a dream. Dreams are one thing, but that has nothing to do with reality. You should already know that by now. Don't be stubborn and find a job... Your grandmother isn't here to spoil you anymore! M-Mr. Fujita! Or perhaps you have somebody else \Nwho'll go outta their way to support you? You good? We... met a few days ago. And? The river near Ni-Chome... Tsuneo mentioned you lived around here. Instead of splitting up and searching, isn't it faster if we ask Tsuneo for the address... What do you want? Please stop holding him back! Wait, we came to cheer her up! He's worked so hard for his dream. He's studying Spanish, taking a lot of part-time jobs to save up, just so that he can study overseas. Overseas? Tsuneo is planning to go to Mexico next March. He didn't tell you? Won't you support his dream? At this rate— Why do I have to hear this from you?! What are you to my caretaker, anyway? He feels sorry. The reason why Tsuneo puts up with you... 'cause he feels sorry for you. Why would you say that?! Don't mind her! Hey, wait up! The cytoplasm holds various things. Let's look at the nucleus. It has genomes, right? You can think of a nucleus as a place \Nwhere genomes are stored. It's Tsuneo. Josee? I bought some taiyaki. Why are you here? Josee? Your room... I hired a helper to tidy it up a bit. They'll be coming over once a month. Your drawings? Thrown away. Why would you do that? You don't need to know. If you don't have anything to say, please leave. Let me fix it. I wanna see the ocean. This'll be your last job as my caretaker. Wanna go up the water's edge? Right here is fine. You want something warm to drink? No, thanks. It's salty. Josee... I don't need the money! So don't let this be the end! Josee! That's not my name anymore. I've decided to work at an office. Even so, why'd you throw away your drawings? 'Cause it's out of my reach! It's always been that way. A red balloon caught on the roof... A cicada husk on a tree... or walking under an umbrella in the rain... even running up the steps to a shrine! All of it... All of it! I'm done trying to reach for anything anymore. Then... why do you look sad? You can't give up on your dream! Aren't you leaving soon? The able-bodied wouldn't understand. Josee! Josee! Caretaker... Caretaker... Caretaker! Caretaker! Caretaker? Tsuneo! Are you all right? Hello, there's been a traffic accident! Okay, I will. Remove the scoop! Got it! Removing clothing. Pulse, 120. BP's 70 over 40. Saturation at 94%. Maintain ten liters of oxygen. Confirm vein? Not yet. Then hurry! Inserting 18-gauge! Don't forget the cross-matching. Yes! X-ray on standby! Airway's clear and respiration's steady. Beginning echocardiogram. First, negative. It's not a punctured lung. Mr. Suzukawa! Mr. Tsuneo Suzukawa, can you hear me? If you can, please open your eyes for us, Mr. Suzukawa! Do you know where you are? What... You were in a traffic accident, \Nwhich got you admitted to the ER. I'll go and call the doctor. About the girl in the wheelchair... Oh, we asked her to go home for the day. She insisted on waiting until you were awake. Was she hurt? She wasn't. How do you feel? I heard I was in an accident. You suffered a concussion, but it's nothing to worry about. Your internal organs are all right, however... Your right shinbone's broken at the ankle. It's called an open fracture. Emergency surgery was done to prevent infection. We fixed the fracture with screws and a plate. It'll take two months before your ankle \Ncan bear your full weight. Two months... One more thing. Surgery couldn't unite the joint surfaces perfectly. There's risk of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis? You may have joint pain and stiffness and won't be able to walk or run as you did before. The hairline fracture in your left arm \Nmay make it hard to use crutches for a while. Will I recover? Hard to say at this stage. Josee... I'm sorry. It's not your fault, Josee. They say I'm in pretty bad shape. Even rehab might not fix everything. If it turns out I can't walk again, I... I need to sleep. Shut up! You don't need to visit, Mom. Doesn't your back still hurt? It's no big deal, I swear. I'll come visit as soon as I get discharged. Yeah. Bye. Professor? How are you, Tsuneo? I'm sorry if I worried you. Listen, about you studying overseas... The university thinks another student \Nshould come next March if you can't make it. It's unfortunate, but you'll get another chance. You should focus on recovering, for now. That's not the problem... I may not be able to dive anymore... If I can't, then going overseas won't even matter. So, rotate your ankle and flex your toes as best you can. When the swelling goes down, we can start your rehabilitation. Tsuneo! I bought you some pudding. Thanks. Seems like you'll be starting rehab soon. Yeah. I'll put this in the fridge. I'll put this in the fridge. I'll put this in the fridge. My parents keep sending me rice and veggies all the time, so my fridge is just always packed! They even... Why don't we get some fresh air? You can say whatever's on your mind. I'm here to give you my support. Not like it matters anymore. Studying overseas, Mexico... I thought I was stronger than this. Please don't give up. You can work hard with rehab— Work hard? And what if it doesn't get better?! I didn't understand what it meant. To reach for what you want. How scary it all is. I... I love you, Tsuneo! I knew you didn't want a girlfriend because you're leaving, but I can't give up! I'm hopeless... I'm hopelessly in love with you! How did it turn out this way? Mai, I... I already know, okay? I don't need your pity or gratitude. I hate it when women cry over guys like this! But... I'm glad I got to tell you. We should head back. I know you're there! Open the door! If you don't... Go away! Never come back! Tsuneo's given up on going to Mexico. So now I'm making him mine. I'll give him the love he needs, \Nso he'll forget about the sea and his dreams. I never wanted him to go in the first place. I wanted him to forget his stupid dream... and stay by my side, forever. I know him so much better than you do! How he loves to talk about fish nonstop. How he's horrible at humming. How he goes rock first in rock, paper, scissors. He loves pudding but hates cucumbers... He can't split chopsticks that well... His hands are always so cold... I could name a hundred, even two hundred more things. I know him better... Can't you say something?! My caretaker won't ever give up! He'll never forget about fish or abandon his dream! After all, that's who he is! You know that, right? I can't name a hundred things... but still... My feelings won't lose to anyone else! If that's true, then do something! Salty... You're so awkward. I'm a fine woman! Why don't we go out for some barbecue? Your treat, of course. What?! Josee? I need your help. It's better if you make each character \Ntalk about their feelings more. Stuff like, "How wonderful!" Got it. Hey, brunet guy. Josee?! Come with me. Huh? "I desired nothing but my escape from him. That is all. Upon reflection, it was a pitiful story." It's done. Ta-da! What's this? Can't you tell? Got you a slip so you can leave for the day. I meant, who told you to file one? Oh, I figured you might've needed a breather. Sorry, but I'm not in the mood. Don't be such a bore, Tsuneo. Let's go and have some fun! Stop bothering me! When you run out of air, it's my job to help you. I'll make sure you can breathe. So shut up and follow me. Why are we here? You'll see. This is... "Th-The Mermaid and the R-Radiant Wings". F-From the floor of the deep, blue sea, \Nf-festive music can be heard. A mermaid is celebrating her 20th birthday, \Na time when she can finally leave the ocean on her own. You're doing great. The mermaid received a magic shell as a precious gift. The magic shell then spoke, "You can use me to turn into a human, \Nand then back into a mermaid again. But you must not wish for anything else. For if you have more than just one wish... you'll turn to sea foam and vanish." "I understand," said the mermaid, \Nwho went on to swim ashore. "O shell, turn me into a human!" Her fins then became graceful legs. "How wonderful!" the mermaid said \Nas she began to climb up a hill. But the outside world was full of danger. A ferocious tiger appeared before her. The mermaid tried to run away, but she lost her footing and fell to the ground. Clinging to a rock, she let out a yell. "Help!" Just then, a young man with pure white wings \Nflew down from the sky to save her. "Thank you. Those are lovely wings." The young man smiled at the mermaid's words. "When spring comes, I'm taking flight with these wings." For the young man had a dream. It was to fly to a sparkling sea far away... where bright orange fish swam together as a family. It was a sea full of fun and clamor. The young man and mermaid became friends \Nand went to many places together. "Ah, every place makes my heart dance with such joy! I feel like skipping!" The mermaid's worldview grew with each experience. The seasons changed, and spring arrived. The day came when the young man \Nsets out for the sparkling sea. The mermaid was sad at being apart, so she ventured into the woods alone. And once again, a ferocious tiger appeared before her. Claws sharp and fangs bared, it pounced on the mermaid. "Look out!" cried the young man, \Nappearing just in time to save her. However, he was gravely injured. His beautiful wings were also broken. Sobbing at the sleeping young man, the mermaid picked up the magic shell. "O shell, please save him!" Within a heartbeat, his wounds healed and the young man awakened. However, his wings would never return \Nto how they were before. "I can no longer reach the sparkling sea," \Nthe young man lamented to the mermaid. "Please, raise your head. After all, the wings in your very heart are much larger. You guided me with those wings and used them to push me forward. With the wings of your heart, you can fly anywhere." And then the young man set off for the sparkling sea by boat. No matter rain or stormy winds, the young man braved ahead. "I'm not afraid! I'm going to make my dream come true!" The wings in his heart were strong, supple, beautiful, and most of all, unbreakable. "I found the sparkling sea!" The young man dived in with delight and began swimming together merrily with the orange fish. "I'm glad his wish was able to come true. O shell, please turn me to sea foam now." However, her legs just returned to fins, and nothing else in particular happened. The magic shell then spoke. "Wishing for another's benefit and not your own \Nwill never make you vanish." So with a heart filled with memories like shining jewels, the mermaid returned to the seabed of the deep blue sea. The end. Why are you hiding? Look, I think he's doing it! All ri— All right! All right! Yukichi, my caretaker managed to walk today. Stray cats shouldn't be so spoiled. I shouldn't be, either. I need to face the tiger alone. The date's been set. As long as I make weekly visits for treatment, I'll be all right. Really... I'm so proud of you! Thanks. I'm not sure about the aftereffects... but I'm going to Mexico, no matter what. I have the wings of my heart now. It'll be okay. So, the discharge date will be on the 24th, and well... w-will you come and meet me? At 10 in the morning. Josee? I'm just so happy. Thank you. Josee? Josee! Josee... Here. Miss Kana! Tsuneo? Congrats on getting discharged! You seen Josee? No, I haven't today. Excuse me. You're right about that. Big trouble! Josee's missing! If you're looking for a girl in a wheelchair, \Nshe boarded just a minute ago. Do you know where she got off? Attention, guests. The zoo will be closing in a few minutes. Josee. Wait! I'm sorry! Josee! Ouch... You all right, Josee? I-I should be asking you that! Your leg... You just got out... I was so worried about you... that I started running. Why'd you leave? I decided I'd try being an illustrator \Nfor picture books while working. I plan to stand on my own two feet. You've pushed me forward long enough... so— I'm not doing this for you. I wasn't doing this for you... I wanna stay as your caretaker! What about seeing the angelfish? Aren't you going to Mexico when your leg heals? I will, but... I love you, Josee! I... I... I love you too, Caretaker! It's not at all like I imagined. You mean... in a bad way? I meant that in a good way! It does look like it's raining cherry blossoms. A-Are you dead? What? Aren't you a ghost? I'm home for spring break. You never told me! I wanted to surprise you, Josee. You're pretty arrogant for a caretaker!
