Monroe Ga Shinda Hi (The Day Monroe Died)

Both of you really have a good appetite.

"Wa naori machi?"

It is read as "Wa naore machi".

It's difficult.

Everyone gets...

...the same feeling of loneliness of their hearts.

Whoever they will receive love...

...and whoever they will give love,

people will be released from that pain.

One of the most popular sex symbols,

Marilyn Monroe...

...already left this world at the age of 36.

Was it an accident?

Suicide...?

Or else, someone killed her...

I understand. Then, please wait for a moment.

- Oh? Takahashi-sensei, good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Monroe had an exclusive psychoanalyst...

...which are unusual for Hollywood stars at that time.

The two of them were also alleged to have...

...a deep beyond-the-doctor-patient relationship.

This actress who had fascinated the world,

talked to a psychoanalyst...

and asked him something...

...about why she can't see people's hearts.

Who will be able to save me from not seeing those?

Whether a doctor,

a family,

a lover,

or any people,

all of us...

...live with the feeling of loneliness.

If I'm not mistaken,

here's coffee for you.

- I'm sorry. - Thank you.

I didn't know at all that there was a memorial hall for Fujishima Harashima here in Hanaori.

This is originally Harashima-san's villa which he used as his place in writing composition.

After his death, I open this place to the public as a memorial hall.

Back when I was a child, I was a big fan of him.

But because all the old things have been disposed of, (to be edited)

this place has become a mountain of treasure.

There are lot of his works that's now unavailable.

Are you the person who got bereft?

No, it's not. I am just a hired caretaker here.

Have you been all alone here?

Yes.

That feels lonely.

I'm used to it.

Sima.

Tobey.

I'm home.

Ouch!

Sorry, sorry.

You must be hungry now.

Let's have breakfast.

This is not good.

Kyoko-san?

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Have a seat somewhere. There's a bench at the entrance.

I have to buy...

Sima and Toby's food...

Those pet of mine...

I'm strongly committed for them.

They won't eat unless I'm there.

Kyoko-san...

Here is the pet food section.

Did you settle for a moment?

I'm sorry.

I must annoyed you.

What are you talking about!?

I am also...

...having a late menopause.

Suddenly, I'm frustrated for nothing.

It makes me feel sad.

I don't want to get old.

Well...

Thanks.

Since my husband died,

and since I've been working hard all alone,

I already feel exhausted.

Well, Kyoko-san.

Do you want to have a psychiatric examination and ask for a medicine?

Psychiatry?

I have a friend.

About a year ago, he was suddenly in a state of depression.

Depression...

He had no motivation to work.

It seems that he had consulted with a psychiatrist. Then,

he was able to overcome it...

...and got better quickly.

He told me that it felt like he came out from a deep pit...

...and when he got out, he felt very refreshed.

Do you know Hanaori Clinic?

Yes.

It doesn't only provide medicine for patients, but it also do psychiatric tests.

That doctor there... has a very good reputation.

He has a girlfriend named Nagano, whom he used to go with when they ride Shinkansen.

If you couldn't meet with that doctor, your life will be at stake.

Besides, that doctor...

...is a very dandy and good man.

Kyoko-san, please take a visit on that clinic. Okay? Please.

I'll think about it.

Are you looking for it now?

Do you want to have a reservation?

Ah... It's just fine.

I'll take care of that later.

Is that so? Then, I'll just give you the contact information of the clinic.

- Here it is. Please. Okay, Ma'am. Please wait a minute.

Customer no. 7. You may now go inside the doctor's office.

Okay.

Before you talk to me, may I confirm your name first?

My name is Kyoko Yukimura.

I am Takahashi.

It may not easy for you to speak up, but just relax as much as possible.

Please tell me your concerns.

Okay, Doc.

Have you ever had a psychiatric examination so far?

I haven't yet. Not yet once.

That is...

Where should I start talking about this?

Then, I will ask you...

...some questions chronologically.

Okay, Doc.

If both your body and mind don't feel tired,

though it's written here,

let me know about it...

...more specifically.

Now, Yukimura-san. What's that thing that made you mostly feel tired?

Hmm...

Well, let's start with the symptoms from your body.

Anyways, it's a dull feeling.

I can't get tired all day.

I really don't want to do anything,

but my headache is awful.

Even though I take over-the-counter medicine,

it does not work at all.

What else are you concerned about?

I can't sleep.

Even if I go to bed, I just feel depressed.

I can't... hardly sleep at all.

Since I have to go to work,

when I think I can't sleep for a while,

instead, I can't sleep for the whole time.

What is your job?

I am the property custodian at the Literature Memorial Hall.

The keepsakes of Fujio Harashima, who is a writer,

is being opened to the public and displayed at the memorial hall.

I like the works of Fujio Harashima.

No. I don't know much about his works.

I didn't know that there was a memorial hall.

That's interesting.

Yukimura-san, are you the curator there?

No, that is...

It was such a good thing.

How is your appetite?

Because...

I don't want to eat too much,

sometimes I just give my cats some of my leftover foods.

Those kittens who have such owners are pitiful.

So, you live with your cats.

How old are they now?

Both are 12 years old now.

There was...

...a stray cat wandering around the neighborhood,

so I fed that cat.

Then one time, near my house...

...the cat give birth...

...to it's kittens.

I see.

Then one day,

that mother cat was gone,

...and the two kittens...

...were left behind outside my house.

Though we're a couple, but we have no children.

Still, my husband is really cute...

Is that so?

Your cats will heal your heart just by being together with them.

Yes.

Even when my husband died and I became alone,

those kittens help me able to live.

That's good.

Do you like cats too?

What I've been blabbering to you just now...

If you spill these to others, you will get in trouble.

No. Anything is useful for the examination.

I also love cats.

I kept them when I was a child.

The recognition that cats love fish...

...seems to be unique to Japan.

Eh?

Cats are typically carnivores.

Foreign cats...

...don't like to eat fish.

My cats...

I thought that fish were their favorite food,

but it wasn't that one?

Mackerel and tuna bonito, etc...

If you give them that too much,

they will likely have vitamin E deficiency which causes inflammation on some parts of the body.
