"I want to meet you"

How are you doing, Mom?

It's almost been a year since you left.

Lately, Mom has been appearing in my dreams a lot.

Every time I wake up, I feel lonely.

Mom, you know what day it is today, right?

Today I turned 20.

I'm sad because I don't have any letters this year.

Today.

My friends are celebrating with me.

I'm leaving.

Oh, what's this? How did I do this?

I'm going out to dinner with my friends.

What time are you coming back?

I don't know

Why?

No, actually

I'm going

Okay

Isn't this it?

Oh, this is it!

You've found it well.

Even I'll remember it if I drink it every day.

This is my favorite.

Whoa.

Takashi, you've come to the right place.

What's that?

Oh, Aiko-chan?

Huh?

Good evening

Yes, I'm here.

Sorry, I had to have you and your child come together.

All right, all right.

Please come in.

Sorry to bother you.

I think I was a little early.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Look at mom.

Isn't she cute?

I bought it today

Oh, it's cute

Right?

Let's go

Yes, it's a birthday present

Thank you mom

Can I open it?

Okay

How is it, mom?

Looks great on you

Does it suit you?

I'll take good care of you

Yeah

Saya? Where are you now?

Sorry Megumi,

My part-time job hasn't come, so I can't move up yet.

I'll hurry as much as possible, so go to the store first.

I'm really sorry.

Eh.

Well, I guess I'll wait.

If I'm late, I might have to cancel.

What should I do?

Table 3, the food hasn't been cooked yet?

Yes!

Sorry, I'll contact you again.

I've been drinking a lot lately.

This guy is a big drinker, just like my mom.

Hey!

There's quite a lot of it

Then just add color, just add color

Not just color

Yeah

Well then, let's go all out today

Yes

Well then, cheers!

Good luck!

Good luck!

How would you like to place your order?

I think it will arrive soon, so I'll wait until then. It's okay

I'm smart

Is it still going to take a while?

Happy Bus Day to You

Happy Bus Day to You

Happy Bus Day Dear

Akane

Huh?

Awesome

Happy Birthday to you

Congratulations

Looks delicious

Congratulations

Thank you mom

I need to make it as grand as my birthday

Red wine that I want to try too

Ahhh

No, no, no, no

Not until next year

Kechi

Customer

Customer

Excuse me

Our store will soon have its last order

Yes

Ah, it's been a long time, Keiku

It's been a long time since Megumi-chan

It's been a while

It's been a while

Wow, that's kind of unfriendly

No,

It's all chocolate.

Eat properly.

Give me another drink.

Yes.

What, haven't you eaten some delicious food?

Anything's fine, right?

What are you doing?

I haven't done it.

I hope you haven't done it.

What do you think? Are you over there too?

Until what time do you want to drink?

Tomorrow is my day off.

Haven't you been drinking too much lately?

Okay, just for today.

Just be quiet for today.

What,

Or

Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?

Huh?

What the hell?

I'm leaving

I'll go for a while

Hey, Megumi

I'm sure everyone is coming

What's going on earlier!

That's it! !

What is this?

If I were your mom, this day wouldn't be like this! !

And me

I'm thinking of quitting school.

Hey Megumi

What I just said

Can't you say it to Yukie?

Then quit right now! !

Ah, I made you angry.

I'll explain the situation and bring you here.

It's okay, Aiko-chan.

Leave me alone.

I mean, there's a lot of misunderstanding, right?

I should have talked to you properly.

Megumi, wait!

I'm sorry,

I suddenly interrupted you today.

Megumi

It's your birthday today, isn't it?

Megumi's father

I was trying to celebrate properly

But

You wouldn't like it if I was alone, so

I wanted everyone to celebrate together.

That's why I was called.

My father said that

Megumi's father

He doesn't go out drinking like he used to.

He thinks he's trying not to leave Megumi alone

...

I wonder if he's being careful about how clumsy

...

Megumi's father

Hey, come home with me.

Sorry

I don't feel like going back right now

Megumi!

I'm sorry,

I showed you my secrets.

Don't worry about it.

This house and Megumi's school are all thanks to Yukie's part.

...

When I thought about it,

I think Megumi would understand.

It looks like she's going to ruin my daughter's birthday too.

...

He says that's not true

But hey

I'm doing my best to raise him all by myself

He's trying to celebrate today too

You think I'm great

You don't even know my taste in clothes

You can't ask me anything

I've left everything to Yukie

I don't know how to approach him now.

Fathers

are like that everywhere.

That's amazing

Lots of strawberries. Cute

This cake

My dad bought it for me

Huh?

Dad?

That's right

Every year

Even though I was so young

It really goes by so fast

It goes by so quickly

You must always make me feel lonely

Father and daughter

I think it's difficult

My father can't even congratulate me

Even more so

You're doing well

But

Me too

I'm lonely too

Ever since Yukie went away

I'm lonely to death

You often appear in my dreams

That's what he says

Dad,

It must be hard being alone

Please do your best

I told you to get along with Megumi.

I wish I hadn't left.

Naoki

That's not true.

Dad,

I'm sorry.

I,

thought I was the only one feeling lonely.

No one celebrated today either,

I feel lonely by myself.

...

But

Daddy...

Daddy's lonely too...

...I've been with mommy all this time...

...I'm sorry daddy

...

Look,

It's a present from mommy

When Megumi is old enough to drink...

Let's have a drink together.

He's my mom's favorite.

I want to meet you.

I want to meet you.
