Destiny (デスティニー)

I'm so happy right now, because you all are with me.

Let's be friends forever.

Kanade. I love you.

I'm never letting you go.

I feel the same.

Kanade's dad didn't commit suicide.

He was murdered.

What?

Kanade's dad was--

Don't say it!

Why did Kaori…

Depending on what you say, my son might need a lawyer.

Masaki, wait! Don't go!

I'm the one who…

Someone who I thought loved me disappeared from in front of me again.

The patient is male in his twenties or thirties.

Identity is currently unknown.

-There's something I want to tell you. -What?

I must go somewhere…

Kanade Nishimura, how many years have you been a prosecutor?

Sorry?

How long have you been doing this?

Six years and three months.

You've been a prosecutor for six and a half years.

Do you truly think a deposition from an accomplice

is sufficient to go to trial?

I was prosecuting a case

involving illegal drug deals that occurred a week ago.

-Police! -Don't move!

The Kanagawa Prefectural Police

obtained information on drug deals being made at a bar in Yokohama.

The police raided a private room in the bar

and three men were arrested at the scene.

One of them was the second son of Akihiko Kawagoe,

the Secretary-General of the Democratic Liberal Party.

The case suddenly became the center of public attention.

But Takumi Kawagoe was the only one of the three men arrested

who didn't have drugs on him, and denied the accusation.

He insisted he didn't know anything.

No, not exactly.

It's just that the other suspects admitted to the crime.

His statement has many inconsistencies.

Witnesses saw him frequenting the bar.

Above all, he was in the small room while the drugs were being sold.

You don't have to tell me. I've read what you wrote.

But you don't have his confession.

He was not in possession of any drugs.

Right.

Either get him to confess…

or collect stronger evidence.

You're not an amateur.

I've heard that Kanade Nishimura is good. But…

Is this all you have to show?

We needed an indictment in this case at all costs.

Two years since getting transferred to Yokohama.

The city's night sky is too light

to see any stars.

Mr. Nogi.

You're not allowed to leave your room without permission.

What are you doing?

Hmm? I was just looking at the stars.

Stars?

Nurse Hashimoto, when can I leave the hospital?

-Excuse me? -Um…

Hasn't this healed enough?

It's not for me to say.

What did the doctor say?

Nothing.

Should I ask him?

Yes, thank you.

Confession.

Evidence.

Evidence…

BAR GLOIRE NAKA-KU, YOKOHAMA

The sight of illegal drug transactions…

I'M KENTA, A REGULAR!

KENTA NAKAZAWA

MIZUHARA I FOUND KENTA! I'LL LEAVE A LINK.

EIICHI NAKAMURA

NAN-SAN

Huh?

Have you been to Bar Gloire before?

It was my first time there.

-I'm home. -Hi, Takashi.

-Still working? -Mm-hmm.

Don't work too hard.

Here. You've got lines right there.

You know what, Kanade?

Hmm? What?

Don't you think… it's time we get married?

He proposed to me as if he were saying "good morning" or "good night."

Good night.

Good night…

Get married… huh?

12TH ANNIVERSARY BUDDHIST MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR KAORI OIKAWA

It's been 12 years since Kaori's accident.

Masaki disappeared that day,

and I became an empty shell.

Careful!

Where are you going?

I got a call from a girl.

What?

Just kidding. To the store.

I'll be right back.

You'll be right back…

That's what you said.

NOTIFICATION OF REJECTION

I was alive, but I felt as though I were dead.

It felt futile no matter how hard I tried.

What's the matter?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

-I-I'm sorry. -Take your time.

I'm sorry.

Here.

It's just hot water, but it will warm you.

This is good.

It was

magical hot water.

He gave me back

the will to live.

Is this seat taken?

No.

How are you doing?

I'm better, thank you.

Good.

Um…

Thank you so much for your help the other day.

It's nothing.

SHINANO UNIVERSITY

Careful.

-Are you okay? -I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Huh?

Hello.

My hospital is over there.

I-I'm a legal apprentice at Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

Oh, so you passed it.

The bar exam.

Yes.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Congratulations. -Thank you very much.

-That's good. -Ahh.

Should I start cooking?

-Oh, I'll do it. -No, I can do it.

Another year went by before we started dating.

But being a rookie prosecutor,

I was transferred outside of Tokyo.

And he was too busy at his hospital.

Sorry. An emergency patient. I don't think I can make it tonight.

Okay. Good luck with your work.

I'm not free next week. How about the week after?

I have to go to Fukuoka for a conference that week.

How about this weekend?

A case I'm on is entering the homestretch.

No time to go to Tokyo.

Dr. Okuda. The preparation for the examination is done.

Thank you.

Is it ever going to work out for us?

There were times when I almost gave up on dating him.

KAEDE, I'LL BE HOME LATE SO NO DINNER TONIGHT

He went to work without even hearing my answer to his proposal.

Was he feeling awkward after all this time?

Or was he just expecting

for me to say yes?

OUTRAGEOUS SON OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL OF DLP

HIS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND DRUG ACQUISITION CHANNELS

TOMO

It's been a while. How are you?

Kaori's 12th Anniversary Memorial Service is on Sunday. Are you coming?

Yes, I'm planning to.

Okay, I'll talk to you then.

I know you're busy.

It's fine. I look forward to seeing you.

However, I had to work on that day after all.

PRINT

The illegal drug dealing case.

This witness interview is the key to the indictment.

The bar owner where the drug deal took place is the witness.

BAR GLOIRE OWNER TOSHIKI TAGAWA, AGE 49

I'm sorry, but I unexpectedly have a witness interview.

I might be late.

I'll take the bullet train as soon as I'm done.

I see.

It must be tough working on a Sunday. Best of luck.

That day, Tomo said our friendship might be over.

But as we got together

for Kaori's first, second, and sixth anniversary memorial services,

our relationship began to return to what it was.

Mr. Tagawa, the witness, has arrived.

Thank you. I'll be right there.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if Tomo had become a prosecutor.

But after she passed the entrance exam for law school,

she simply gave up on the bar exam.

The reason was her pregnancy.

And the father was…

Hey, can I wear this today?

No, you have to wear black.

But it's the 12th, and a private event--

-Wear black. -Yes.
