[bunniefuu]

How can he stay by her side knowing
what kind of person she is…

If he learns you're Sawako

and you were framed
and almost k*lled by Rena,

that should change his mind, right?

So that was a lie…

It went well! And it's all thanks to you.

Not at all.

Julia!

I brought you cake.

You made it all this afternoon?

Well…

Kind of.

That's amazing! I could never!

I have a request.

What is it?

Tell me everything that you know
about Makoto.

About Makoto?

Makoto has known Rena
since they were children, right?

When did they become close friends?

It was when Rena was ten.

Makoto moved to our neighborhood

and instantly they became close.

After some time,

Makoto's mother passed away.

And?

They never caught the culprit.

After she died, Makoto and Rena were--

Wait…

You mean, Makoto's mother was m*rder*d?

This is all the information that I know.

Goodbye.

Long time no see.

I missed you!

Dad…

you've been distant lately.

What?

That's not true.

Oh, I'm glad.

You would never avoid me, right?

You'd never do something like that.

Exactly. Why would you even say that?

Dad…

Can I have a cigarette?

Huh?

I didn't know you smoked.

Dad…

We are family!

No matter what happens
you would never abandon me.

You can't, right?

After all,

you are the one who raised this monster!

Who's the real monster?

Dad…

I want to know more about Ms. Tachibana.

Can you look into her?

Makoto Hanai's mother was k*lled
but the suspect was never arrested?

Yes.

Afterward, he was adopted
by his aunt who lived nearby.

Sounds fishy to me.

I'll continue to keep an eye
on Rena's dad.

READ

- Ah!
- What? What's wrong?

Uh… Sorry. There was an insect.

You made me jump!

Thank you for everything you did.
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Good morning.

Rena's out but she should be back soon.

Great. Thank you.

See you later.

Have a great day.

Oh, by the way…

I'm reading it.

That trilogy you recommended to me.

I can't stop reading it.
I'm sleep-deprived!

See you.

Hey, what do you think about what we saw?

I'm not going to lie…

For one second, I did think
they looked a bit suspicious.

Right?

And on top of that, I won't be home
for a week because of the recital.

I'm so worried.

No, I think you're fine!

- What?
- Think about it!

Makoto's really devoted to you!

He put in so much effort
with the surprise party

and that's why he asked for her help!

Other husbands aren't so dedicated!

You know, Rena…

I'm jealous, look at how much
Makoto loves you.

Really?

This concert of yours
is a big deal, right?

Yeah…

Then you should focus on that.

I know, but…

If you're so worried,
you could set up more cameras.

You're right.

Yeah, maybe I will.

Let me know if you need my help.

- Thank you, Julia.
- It'll be fine!

Thank you, Yuki!

Not at all!

Kokoro, Mommy's going away for a while.

I love you!

Okay, then!

I'll see you soon.

Makoto, I'll call as often as I can, okay?

- Yeah. Call me whenever! Good luck.
- Okay.

She's gone.

Do whatever you can for a week
to gain his trust.

So when the time comes,
he'll believe that you're Sawako Bando.

Understood.

Oh! Grocery shopping?

Yes.

I just came to say hi.

Kokoro!

Today marks the 200th day
since Kokoro was born.

Rena asked for a photo,
but I'm terrible at that kind of thing.

In that case,

shall we have a photo sh**t
when you get home?

Are you sure?

Thank you.

Kokoro!

- Kokoro, this way!
- This way!

- Kokoro!
- Look this way!

She smiled!

How's it looking?

Kokoro!

She's looking!

She's smiling!

She is!

- That's a good one!
- So cute!

She must've been tired.
She instantly fell asleep.

I see…

I'm so glad I got to take these today.

Thank you.

Rena will love them.

- Well, I'm leaving.
- Ah… wait!

Uh… Actually…

I was cooking dinner,
and I made some for you, too.

Would you stay for dinner?

If you don't mind omelette rice again.

Dig in!

Thank you.

- You don't like it?
- What?

Sorry…

It's just that
you seemed to like it last time.

I do!

I love omelette rice!

The last time you made it
was also amazing.

Did you swallow it without chewing?

Uh…

I…

I struggle with eating.

You struggle?

It's hard for me.

Eating something solid…

makes me realize I'm alive

and I feel like I'm choking.

And it hurts.

I'm so sorry!

I know it's weird
and probably even creepy.

I was the same.

In my case…

it was speaking.

Every time I tried to speak, I thought,

"What am I trying so hard to convey?"

"They won't get it anyway."

And I felt this pain in my chest.

So I decided to stop talking.

Well, that was when I was little.

So…

don't worry.

I understand.

What am I saying?

Sorry.

Hello?

Hello? Makoto?

Are you alone?

- Did Sachiko go home already?
- Yeah.

- Is the recital finished?
- Yep.

Did you see the video I sent?

Isn't Kokoro super cute?

Too cute!

Oh, by the way,

I ordered another monitoring camera
and it should arrive tomorrow.

Can you let me know when you set it up?

Okay.

RENA

Did you find anything out?

Well, I looked her up…

But…

I found nothing suspicious about her.

I asked her previous employer

and even the police
by using my connections.

But nothing--

What did Rena ask you to do?

You cannot fool us.

Don't forget
that I'm watching your every move.

Sorry about this.

It's fine.

It makes sense,
especially while Ms. Rena's away.

I'm going to go set this up.

No…

It can't be.

I'm sorry, I should've asked!

It's such a beautiful piano
that I couldn't resist!

No…

It was…

It sounded… familiar.

I want to make you something you'd like.

Maybe we can try soup?

You don't need to be so considerate.
I feel bad.

Don't!

I worked part-time at a restaurant
when I was a student,

so I'm a pretty good cook.

Sorry to intrude!

Rena, are you ready?

Coming!

Hello?

Hello, Julia?

Are you at my house?

Yeah, I'm in my car. I parked it nearby.

Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.

It's fine! Good luck with your rehearsal.

Honestly, thank you. Speak to you later.

Okay.

I feel like I lose my touch
if I don't cook regularly.

Ms. Tachibana?

Ms. Tachibana?

- Are you okay?
- Uh… Yes.

- Are you okay to get up?
- Yes.

Did something…

happen?

It's all in the past.

I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
I'll go home.

You shouldn't go alone!
Shall I call your family?

I don't have one…

anymore.

I can take care of myself. I always have.

Excuse me. I'll take my leave.

I get it.

I also…

lost my mother
when I was in elementary school.

But I had…

Rena by my side.

She helped me get through it.

Rena helped you?

I'm sorry. Never mind me.

- I'll get you some water.
- What happened?

Ms. Tachibana!

Are you okay?

What are you two doing?

Are you okay?

Let me explain to her.

Wait!

I see…

Things are going well, I see.

Komi?

Our revenge starts now.

Ms. Tachibana,
you remind me of my first love.

- Sawako?
- I don't think I can do this…

I'm so sorry.
