Side By Side (サイド バイ サイド 隣にいる人)

Side by Side.

Miyama, this way.

Long time no see.

Physically, I haven't felt anything particularly unusual,

but after looking at this photo,

I can't calm down.

From an optical perspective,

it's just the reflection of light captured by the lens.

I think you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

Really?

But I feel very energetic.

If I sense anything wrong,

I'll go to the hospital immediately.

Sorry, thank you.

Mrs. Naitsu,

among your ancestors,

was there anyone who always wanted to return to Japan?

Are you talking about my dad?

Did your dad go to the south?

Yes,

he went to Wright Island for the war

and never managed to return to Japan.

You've really grown up.

Why not go back to Tokyo?

There's something nostalgic here.

Are you still meeting with Riko?

No.

I haven't felt this eager to take photos in a long time.

Do you know where she is now?

Back then, you two were always inseparable.

Dinner is ready.

I searched for her online; it seems she had an exhibition,

but it ended a long time ago.

You can still get the art book, though.

Lost?

Come on, let's go.

Follow me.

Mr. Tejima.

It's you.

I wish I had a son like you.

No one in my family can inherit the business.

You can call me anytime,

and you even treated me to a meal.

These cows are happy too.

Komiyama, do you want to live here?

What?

We can paint and play in the water together; it'll be fun.

But my parents will definitely worry.

In that case...

Komiyama, let's go back.

What?

Living here is indeed wonderful, no doubt about it.

But you can't live here alone.

But I...

Don't worry; I'll handle the rest with Morisawa Yu.

Let's return to the real world together.

Yuu is meddling again.

Loves meddling as if it's a sickness.

Morning.

Morning.

Transform!

Draw circles, spin around...

Transform!

Draw circles, spin around, draw circles, spin around...

Spin around, draw circles, spin around, draw circles...

Want some bread?

They say they're selling peanut butter now.

Got it from Mr. Miyazawa's place.

Didn't you bake fig bread for them before?

He said consider this a return gift.

I'll do the dishes.

It's about time.

Really?

I need to go buy something important. Hope you can accompany me.

Hope you can accompany me.

What do you want to buy?

I want to hang a chandelier there.

I saw a nice one in a movie.

I remember that scene, everyone laughing around the table.

I remember that scene, everyone laughing around the table.

Thought the lighting was fantastic.

Soft colors.

The right light can illuminate the table.

It's essential.

I believe it's extremely important.

What kind of light is it?

What's that type of light called...

It's like wrapping the light bulb.

But the light in the movie was probably custom-made, right?

Specially crafted, one of a kind.

The color was really amazing.

Which movie was it?

Hmm... I can't remember.

It was about the American countryside...

Doesn't seem like it.

Maybe Nordic?

Italy?

Also felt like Korea.

In that case,

I'd have to watch movies from around the world.

The reason it's so challenging is because I can't remember.

Just left with a vague impression, and then I want it.

You must find this perplexing, right?

Okay,

I'm heading out.

Be careful on the way.

Be careful on the way.

- Be careful on the way – I'm heading out.

- Be careful on the way - I'm heading out.

Here.

- What's this? - What?

This.

It's a stone.

Mimi

Miyama.

Take these.

For you.

Thank you.

So lovely.

How should we cook these potatoes?

Make them baked...

Scalloped potatoes.

Top them with sizzling cheese.

Sizzling cheese?

Yes.

- Is it delicious? - Mm.

Add this in.

I'll get it.

Hello.

Mr. Toyota.

What's up?

Hello, is Miyaka home?

Wow, my God,

Mrs. Toyota, her waist is dazzling.

Thank you for coming. Please come in.

What happened?

It's Miyaka.

Look at this.

Unexpectedly, there's a hole here.

Oh no.

Can't stand up.

Look.

Hmm?

Sorry, thank you.

Can't move?

Wait a moment.

Miyama.

There's a student from Myanmar interning with Mr. Kiuchi now.

Mr. Kiuchi says his recent condition is strange.

Mr. Kiuchi, right?

His neck seems increasingly unable to turn,

He also said that he often gets cold.

Miyaka, could you help check?

Want another piece?

Yes.

Okay.

Not here.

Min.

Min.

There.

Miyaka, let me introduce.

I got married recently.

This is my wife.

Congratulations.

Nice to meet you. I'm Miyaka.

Thank you, I am Kiuchi Mari.

I'm not used to this name yet; it makes me shy.

Min, this is Mr. Miyaka.

He's here to check your health.

Mr. Min.

It seems someone wants to convey a message to you.

Even now, he has a strong intention.

Wants to talk to you.

Sorry.

Is that so?

I see.

Perhaps it would be good for me to make a trip back to my hometown?

I think so.

Thank you, Mr. Miyama.

No, I didn't really help with anything.

I'm sorry.

No, my neck.

I feel a strong warmth now.

It's very comfortable.

Thank you, Mr. Miyama.

Thank you.

That's great.

I twisted my foot yesterday.

It still hurts a bit now.

You twisted your foot?

Yes.

May I touch it?

Sure, thank you.

Mari, Mr. Miyaka has recently...

settled down in our village.

Really?

Yes.

But it's been almost a year already, right?

Yeah, almost a year.

Where did you move from?
