Winter Elegy

Excuse me.

- Yes, hello. - Excuse me.

Do you know these people?

Yes, I know.

Reiner, Glen, Shin, and Leo.

A WEEK AGO

We have just received news that flight NA574...

...taking off from Tokyo's Haneda Airport at 10.15 AM local time...

...and was scheduled to arrive at Soekarno-Hatta Airport...

...at 4.15 PM Western Indonesia Time,

is currently missing.

Here's the timeline...

Hello, we are from the Indonesian Embassy in Japan.

Is this the family of Mr. Reinerio Johan Mahadi,

a passenger on flight NA574?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Thank you very much for waiting for us a long time.

I am a representative of the airline.

Flight NA574 took off from Tokyo International Airport...

...on January 29th at 10.15 AM local time.

However, 45 minutes later, it was declared missing.

We are still investigating the cause of this incident.

We have set up a reporting center for any information...

...regarding the plane's disappearance.

We will continue to update on any developments.

Thank you very much for your concern.

Miss.

Are you also from Indonesia?

I'm Rury from Palembang.

Livia. Makassar.

If I may ask, was your family on the aircraft?

My husband.

We're in the same boat.

Two other friends have their husbands on that flight.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

She's our fellow Indonesian friend.

- Stellar. - Livia.

Thalia.

Have a seat.

You seem familiar.

If you like watching TV and movies,

you may know her.

Thalia is a judge on Indonesian Top Model.

Right.

I'm a fan of the show.

Thanks.

Stellar is a writer and a producer.

She mostly works behind the scenes.

Your husband is the actor, right?

Yes.

I love watching Shin's movies.

Thanks.

There's a lot of attention in Indonesia's media...

...about Shin being on the flight.

So unethical.

No privacy even in grief.

All they care about is high traffic.

They don't care if we're grieving or sad.

We ended up coming here to find peace.

Is it still bustling outside?

I've raised ethics issues with the Indonesian journalism organization.

But there are still some troublesome journalists.

Rury is a lecturer in communications.

She knows a lot of journalists.

What do you do, Liv?

I'm...

...just a housewife.

How long are you staying here?

Maybe about a week until I get confirmation about the aircraft.

My husband owns an apartment in Tokyo.

He has quite a few clients here. He's an architect,

he holds a residential permit.

Thalia's and my hotel are close by.

Please let us know if you need anything.

I've taken time off until this matter is settled.

Should we make a group chat?

That way we can communicate more easily.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Yes.

MY HEART, GLEN YASIRE OMAR

MY SAVIOR, MARCELIO OTHMAN SALIM

MY HUSBAND'S PICTURE ARE PUBLIC. LOOK UP ANTHONY SHINE JAYDEN

MY SOUL

MY WORLD, REINERIO JOHAN MAHADI

If it's a girl,

let's name her...

Mom...

Hello, Sweetie?

You're so beautiful.

You should eat breakfast.

I'm picking up dad right now.

- Mom... - Yeah. Bye.

Bye, sweetie.

My birthday?

Your birthday.

Our daughter.

I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS. CAN WE MEET AT THE SAME CAFE AS YESTERDAY?

It's not about the flight.

The man with his arm around this woman is Reiner.

My husband.

And beside her is Glen.

Your husband.

Shin is also there.

As well as Thalia's husband.

They seem close, yet none of them introduced us.

What do you think?

Wait.

You said Reiner comes here every year?

Is that around January 27th?

Glen too?

Glen has one too.

This one too.

Frankly...

I'm jealous.

Glen refuses to talk about his past.

It was only on the day...

...he left that I discovered these photos.

He goes to Tokyo once a year,

always before January 27th.

I met Glen during my Master's studies here.

He presented a seminar on digital communication at my campus.

I've admired him ever since.

I thought I was the only one who could open his heart.

But apparently...

...a part of his heart remained closed off...

...for one person.

Hi. Thanks for waiting.

Sorry.

What did I miss?

I hope you two know what this photo is.

January 27th.

Do your husbands visit Japan around that time?

And?

Our husbands know each other?

Are they conspiring behind our backs?

They must be friends!

They seem close in the photo, don't they?

The problem is, why is it always around January 27th?

And who is this girl?

Rury.

Leo is outgoing.

It's not strange that he has many friends, male or female.

He goes to Japan two or three times a year.

He used to intern at a hospital here.

Does Leo also come around January 27th?

Because I just realized that Reiner often visits around that time.

But maybe he has patients...

...with regular appointments on that date.

Or maybe he has appointments with the woman...

...in that photo. Right?

You're just talking nonsense.

Leo wouldn't do that!

- Calm down. - Easy.

Easy, girls.

None of us know anything.

Let's calm down.

Stellar.

What about you?

I'd hate to think negatively,

but on this matter,

I agree with Livia and Rury.

Shin always mentioned...

...he must come here for an annual event with his management.

I checked two weeks ago,

there was no such thing.

But Shin still went.

I found the photos a month before.

But I kept quiet,

waiting for him to tell me the truth.

I checked, and all these photos are from Fukushima, not Tokyo.

Do you want to go there?

I'll join if you decide to go.

Count me in.

All right.

My manager will book the tickets and accommodation there.

Tomorrow, we're starting at the campus.

Our husbands' alma mater.

Next, we'll visit Ouchi Juku.

There's a Snow Festival in a few days, just like in the photo.

Okay.

Thanks for going out of your way.

Even though we've just met.

We should have known each other if our husbands weren't hiding anything.

Right.

Who do you think this is?

She looks like you.

Your sister?

That's me.

I used to be overweight.

And everyone kept minding my business.

Everyone around me,

even my own parents.

It was so stressful.

Leo is the reason I have a purpose in life.

I'm tired of constantly having to prove myself.

Yes, I managed to become a model,

but at what cost?

My body and mental health suffered.
