Sure is quiet.

You've got that right.

Um...

Want to take off'?

You can if you'd like.

I'll be fine on my own.

[Pm

Oh.

Well, not because I want to work.

Uh]...

I think you already know this,

EM? I]...

am in love with you.

I love you. Please go on a date with me.

Why are you grinning like that?

I'm not really grinning.

What is it, then? You're acting weird!

Did something happen'?

Do you want to know?

Uh, will...

Maybe I don't need to.

I'm scared to hear it!

To be honest,

at work today

Tanako-chan asked me out.

Mum.

She suddenly said she loves

me and wants to go out with me.

But she knows you're married, doesn't she?

Yeah, she does.

Mama?

Love? She said she loves you?

Firmware

Kids these days sure are something.

So, then...

What did you say to her?

How is that a question? I said no, of course!

Of course I did! I have you, Masako-san!

- Did you now?

- Yeah! I said no to her!

That's why I'm telling you about it!

If I didn't say no, then... you know.

I wouldn't tell you.

Listen... what am I supposed

to do after hearing that?

There isn't really anything you're "supposed" to do.

Aren't you happy to hear that other

women are interested in your husband?

Not in the slightest.

I think people normally would be.

So what should I have said?

You could have just left it at "Good for you!"

Huh'? That's the right move?

"Good for you!" was the right move?

The right move? There is no right move!

You could just be happy about it!

Wait, so, let's reverse the situation...

if a young 20-something hunk

said he loves me, and I told you about it,

WWW:

I would! I'd be happy to

hear people are interested in you!

- Would you now?

- I would!

Back on topic, though... nothing

is even going to come of it!

I told her I can't do anything

because I'm married.

Oh? Good, how wonderful of you.

What's with that attitude'?

How wonderful for you. As your wife,

I'm so happy that you're popular.

- Why are you saying it like that? And stop that!

- So happy. So, so happy. So happy.

- So happy. So happy.

- I don't need that many!

- Why are you doing that?

- I'm so happy.

Come on, Masako-san.

Um, this is...

What is this?

Thanks for everything.

You're quitting'?

- Yeah.

- Why'?

I:

think that

I'm more in love with you than I thought.

Excuse me.

Wait!

Resignation letter.

Hey! Hurry up or you'll be late!

Sure is quiet.

You've got that right.

Um...

Want to take off'?

You can if you'd like.

I'll be fine on my own.

QED'?

You're leaving?

Yeah.

Good work.

Good work.

HEW?

That it for today?

Yeah, it's pretty quiet.

Yeah, that's true.

Ben-San

Coming!

A coffee, please.

You're not leaving?

Do I have to?

WWW...

WEEK?

I guess it's fine.

How's it coming along?

[e together?

Nah, not really.

Does it have a deadline?

Monday next week, for now.

I'll get an extension if it's not ready, after all.

[HEB anything happened [HEW

meow

Yeah.

Yeahhh. .. not really.

What about for you?

Nope.

I see.

I'm going to head home.

Didn't you order a coffee?

I'm leaving, so you can have it.

I've got a couple of jobs.

Yam

Are you saving for something?

No, I just have time.

I work because I've got time.

Ma?

Kashiwagi-san.

Girlfriend?

"Why?"

Because you have time?

No, no... it's not because I have the time.

That's a terrible reason to cheat.

Okay, so why'?

Because you're. Elm love?

I guess so.

Anything up.

Since I have time.

Mama

,,[Pm

- Sure, later.

- Bye.

Ii?

Hey, wait! What about your coffee?

Warm;

Check these out!

WEEK?

Which of these do you

think is better for a blouse?

'WEB

WEB one?

Okay, then, that one.

This isn't a "then" type of question.

Which one is better?

- Was your first choice good?

- Yeah, that one.

- This one?

- Yeah, that one.

But... I think this one is...

To be honest, either one is fine.

I don't even see the difference.

Totally

Even the colors are different! One

is yellow, the other is purple!

I don't really care about your clothing, Midori.

That's mean.

Yeah, well... I'm writing my screenplay.

Get it?

I do, but...

You get it, but what?

Film.

I'll leave you alone.

He?-.

Hey!

I can hear it coming out of your headphones.

- Oh, sorry! I'll stop it!

- Just let it play.

I'd like to hear it, too.

I've never climbed Mt. Fuji,

and I probably never will.

It punches through the clouds and

towers over everything around it.

Magma

Wm;

Wm;

Wm;

Wm;

It would've been better if I never came across it.

Sometimes, Mt. Fuji jumps to the front of my mind,

but I know we'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together!

I can't forget Mt. Fuji!

There's no way I'll ever get Mt. Fuji out of my mind!

Magma

And I know we'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together.

We'll never be one together!

thinking.

There are certain people you might wish

you never got to know or never even met.

It's...

not really about Mt. Fuji, the song we just heard.

But maybe someone you really look up to

like a celebrity.

Well, they're human too.

But even if you ever meet them

and you still can't go out with them,

maybe you might wish

you never knew about them?

Thought

Oh.

Are you staying up'?

I'm going to work on this a bit longer.

I'll go to sleep, then.

QM;

Night.

Night.

Morning.

Morning.

What time is it?

7 or so, I think.

So...

I'm going to leave first, okay?

Yeah, okay.

I'm leaving the key right here.

Put it in the mailbox.

[Pm

- I'm home.

- Welcome back.

And... I'm off.

- Sure, have a good one.

- I'll be back.

And... what should I do...

Looking at this here,

I'm thinking maybe a single small

rhinestone right in the middle.

- As in you'd like an actual stone there?

- Yeah, a stone. I was thinking...

I'd like to have one on my nail. What do you think?

Yeah, I'm sure that'll be fine.

Uh... not "fine", I mean...

I don't think you need to leave it at just one.

You'd still look good with lots of them.

Oh, uh, no... I don't really like to be too showy.

Listen to this!

The customer I just had, right?

The one you just had?

- The one with sunglasses?

- Yeah, that one.

Yeah?

She...

has a husband, but I hear

she's dating some young guy.

Is she now?

Did she tell you that?

No, no... it's just a rumor.

She doesn't look the type to me.

Well, before she goes home

she always stops at a mall's bathroom

and caaaarefully cleans off her nails

mam

Isn't that scary?

She does that?

What about you?

How are things going?

The same as always.

The other one still around?

Probably

Why don't you get mad at him?

He comes home in the morning, doesn't he'?

We, yeah.

I just don't get mad about it these days.

You know, that's... not good!

That's weird!

Yeah, I guess.

H-hey, about today...

thinking

with a friend from my school days.

QED'?

WEE?

We talked on the phone,

and I told her I'm getting married

and she said it's been a while so we
