Eye Love You

Yuri!

Tae-o?

Yes?

I'm okay.

Are you okay, Yuri?

I'm okay. Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm okay.

I knew it. It's my fault.

It's my fault. I'm really sorry, Tae-o.

It's fine.

It's not your fault, Yuri.

See?

I'm completely fine.

Thank you.

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

I insist.

I'll walk you home.

I won't leave you.

You're a scaredy-cat, aren't you?

I like that about you.

That's a flaw.

A flaw?

Yeah, it's a bad thing about me.

What?

Are there any bad things about you?

There are a lot.

Oh, by chance, do you mean how your face gets scary

and such?

That's only when I get hungry, right?

Hmm, who knows?

Anything else?

Well…

It's also not good how you treat me

like a dog.

I'm sorry.

Oh, right.

Your sea otter drawings are bad.

Why was your sea otter…

able to stand?

Throw that note away. It's embarrassing.

I like everything about you, Yuri.

Everything.

I loved it all.

Yes. Thank you.

Oh, um, sorry about that.

Goodbye then.

Take care.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Here's the package. -Thank you.

This is bad, Boss!

It's from Tae-o!

What's wrong?

RESIGNATION LETTER

Huh? Why did he resign?

Did I accidentally bully him at work?

I got my divorce papers like this too.

What a nightmare.

We'll look into this, so please go back to work, everyone.

AUDIO CALL

Yuri and I…

broke up.

I see.

What about work?

Would you like to return to the lab?

No.

I'm going back to Seoul.

What?

Yuri…

learned about how the picture book ends.

If…

something happened to me again…

Yuri…

would blame herself.

If that will keep you safe,

I won't stop you.

Tae-o.

There are people out there praying for your safety.

Please keep that in mind.

Yuri too…

She's surely…

Thank you.

Time to eat.

Delicious food is the best way to get energized.

That's why I always make sure to eat on both good and bad days.

Enjoy.

We finished the chocolate shaved ice recipe

for this summer's pop-up shop.

Can you choose a container and price that matches it

and proofread the press release?

-Yes. -Aihara, please proceed with the schedule.

She sure is working hard.

I wonder why things aren't going well for her.

Because of the power she's had until now,

she's gone through so much.

Now, she's even lost Tae-o.

-Please finish it quickly if you can. -Okay.

But I'm sure this company,

including us,

were protected time and time again by Motomiya's power.

You might be right.

However, even if she has broken up with Tae-o,

having that power

means that she can never fall in love with anyone.

That's too painful.

-By the way, Hanaoka… -Yeah?

You remember what today is, right?

Of course I haven't.

You've definitely forgotten.

I'm so glad the three of us get to celebrate again this year.

-Here's this year's cake. -Whoa.

-Ta-da! It's coffee-flavored. -Wow, looks delicious.

Our chocolatier is so talented.

Just so you know, it's the best cake in the world.

Well, let's have a toast.

To celebrate Dolce & Chocolat. and its ninth year…

-Cheers. -Cheers!

Congratulations.

Let's eat.

-Let's eat. -Let's eat.

This is so good!

You're amazing, Mahiro.

Right?

-It's great. -I'm glad.

It's so good!

-Hey. -Yuri.

Um…

Do you want to try that thing with Tae-o?

Huh?

From the picture book.

Getting rid of your power.

Oh, that.

I tried it with my Dad, but my power didn't go away.

Oh, really?

So, that was the only fictional part of that book?

But if you get rid of your power, you and Tae-o can be together.

It's okay.

Hanaoka and I will look after your happiness no matter what.

What? Me too?

Of course.

How long have we been in this together, huh?

It's your job to protect Motomiya, isn't it?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks.

Keep eating.

This is good.

That's great.

FROM MIN HA-NA DEAR MR. HANAOKA

Hello?

Sorry for calling at this late hour. This is Hanaoka.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask you something.

It's about the picture book.

Is it true that you lose your power if you lock eyes for 33 seconds?

That was…

what I hoped for.

Hope?

At the time,

soon after I lost him,

I had the chance to go to Hokkaido.

When I was there, I read an old Ainu legend.

In that legend,

there was a method for getting rid of a similar power.

I wasn't able to test it.

That's why I put it in the picture book…

Hope.

I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU STUDY ANIMALS FROM HOKKAIDO, RIGHT?

Excuse me.

The chocolatier?

Mahiro?

Why are you here?

There's something I'd like to ask you two.

I see. An Ainu legend.

So, you do know it?

Yes, though I'm not an expert,

I looked into Ainu narratives long ago

out of curiosity on one of my many research trips to Hokkaido

where I studied the northern pika.

Wow, that's perfect.

I think I have the book too.

What?

I think it was around here.

Not here.

Oh, here it is.

Found it.

Yes, the ohainu .

This Ainu legend tells of someone who saves humans and animals

after hearing the voice of a god who once saved their life.

This is it.

I never made the connection before.

It's like the picture book.

Oh, here it is. 33 seconds.

But this method doesn't get rid of it.

Isn't there anything else?

Sorry, but this isn't my area of expertise--

I'm sure there must be a way.

Please come up with something.

Ms. Chocolatier, please calm down.

Are you really giving up here? Aren't researchers supposed to be smart?

Please use that brain to think of a way.

-Um, I-- -How about this?
