It's my 20th birthday…
and he would make it just so perfect.
Sorry, but a meeting with clients came up on your birthday.
We'll go see an illumination.
And we'll head home before the last train.
Are you free on the 13th?
I am. Want to go out to eat?
Yes!
Rina's birthday is coming, isn't it?
Can you help me?
Did you see the group chat?
Isn't this crazy?
It seems like…
there's a wall between Yuki and I, which I'm unable to get through.
I have another appointment this weekend.
It always made me feel so lonely.
That's why…
You're the only one I can call a friend.
I was so happy to hear that.
But I realized that I actually didn't know anything about Yuki.
It was just me who was thinking that our hearts were connected.
I think this color would look good on Rina.
I think you're right. This watch looks good.
This would look good on Rina too.
Oh, I wanted to ask you about a surprise for Rina.
Do you have some time after this?
Sure.
Here.
What is that?
It's what I got for Rina, but in a different color.
I thought it would look good on you.
I can't accept this.
I want to give it to you to show my gratitude for today.
The thought is enough.
You seem very sensible, Yuki.
I'd like to have discussions with you based on facts rather than emotions.
I give Rina 40,000 yen for each time we meet.
I would add another 10,000 yen for you.
I would leave the frequency to you.
I think it's fairly generous, but what do you think?
You're so sneaky.
You knew I would never tell her of this.
That's why you're saying this.
Up to now, I've been wondering…
if you're genuinely trying to celebrate her birthday.
This is the last thing I wished to be the case.
I'm disappointed.
Weighing up your shallow friendship…
I guess money has lost.
This is a farewell gift.
And could you tell Rina…
that our contract is over?
What?
It's unfortunate.
I really liked Rina.
But there are as many young and pretty girls…
as there are stars.
Oh, one other thing…
Women have an expiration date.
Don't forget that.

Rina, what about today?
YUKI
Rina? I'm so relieved.
I was worried since I didn't hear from you for so long.
Yuki…
Is there something…
that you're hiding from me?
Hiding?
No, there isn't.
Forget it.
What?
I can't meet up today.
I know you have to meet your clients today…
but I'm just so lonely.
I want to see you today, even if it's midnight.
SANAE, TOKYO, 22 YEARS OLD
Excuse me, but I'm Sanae from the app.
Are you Iida?
No, I'm not.
It's obvious that you're lying.
My job was canceled. Can we meet up now?
Of course, I was bored out of my mind.
Harupi, what took you so long?
Sorry, something came up.
Was it another customer?
No, it wasn't. You're my only princess for the day, Yua.
Really?
Yeah.
Only me?
That's right.
Iida, thank you for meeting me today.
I can't stand being alone on my birthday.
I was sure you'd be meeting up with another guy today.
Being with you puts me at ease.
Oh, right. Here you go. It's a birthday present.
What? I'm so happy! Thank you! Can I open it?
Sure.
Oh, it's the one I wanted!
Wow, how did you know?
You look good in vivid colors…
-like pink gold or floral patterns. -Like pink gold or floral patterns.
Wait… are you meeting up with Yuki?
Iida?
This is for today.
It's more than usual. Why?
It's time for a change.
It's time for you to look for your next man.

RINA, WHAT ABOUT TODAY?
Rina, what's wrong?
Yuki…
She's so beautiful, and yet she's so timid and shrinks back.
It's that imbalance that drew me to her.
That was the beginning.
Are you a new student here?
Um…
Is this the place?
Entrance ceremonies are nerve-racking, aren't they?
You're surrounded by strangers in an unknown place.
I'm a country girl…
so I don't know anything.
Are you?
So…
thank you for talking to me.
Hey, come and hang out with me. I know lots of great places.
Everyone has a secret.
So I don't care who she sees…
even if it's Iida.
That's not what makes me sad.
Yuki…
Rina, about what you said on the phone yesterday…
Can we talk now?
Sure.
Rina…
This is your birthday present.
Did you choose it with Iida?
You told me to stop going after sugar daddies…
but you yourself were selling your body.
You're no different from me, but you act as if you are.
I must've looked so dumb to you.
You were looking down on me.
No!
Didn't you see Iida behind my back?
That…
He gave me payoff money.
You said something to him, didn't you?
Hey, say something!
I have no idea what you're thinking!
Why do you always stay silent like that?
I'm always the one doing all the talking.
-You wouldn't care if I didn't exist. -Of course, not…
I'm the only one who thought we were friends.
Wait…
RINA
I miss you. Where are you?
How selfish.
