00:00I'm at the hospital. It's getting pretty serious because the doc is about to tell me something important.
00:06But wait, what's my name again?
00:10Mr. Yamada, I need your full attention.
00:13With the current scenario, it's crucial for you to be hospitalized for several months.
00:18Uh, okay.
00:20Your memory loss is temporary and is expected to improve soon.
00:24Your nurse will swing by later.
00:26I see.
00:27My name's Kento Yamada. I'm 22 years old, I think.
00:32I hurt my legs real bad in an accident, and now my memory's all jumbled.
00:37It's a relief my brain wasn't harmed.
00:39But what if I can't remember anything for the rest of my life?
00:43Excuse me?
00:45I'm your nurse. My name is Goto. Nice to meet you.
00:49Wha-?
00:50I? Isn't she my ex-girlfriend, I?
00:54I've heard about your situation from the doctor.
00:57Why is she here? It's been so many years.
01:01Huh? Wait, I think my memory just came back out of nowhere.
01:06That's right. Yep, it's all coming back to me.
01:10I'm Kento Yamada, an aspiring illustrator.
01:13I was always a loner back in school.
01:16But everything changed for me in high school when I met I, Goto.
01:22During my third year of high school, I was in the same class as I for the first time.
01:27She'd always be in fights with her enemies,
01:30and she was a rebel who kept to herself and everyone knew not to mess with her.
01:35People thought she was cold, but I saw her in a different way.
01:39Was she always this beautiful? She's completely stolen my heart!
01:45Um, excuse me?
01:47What? I'm heading to the teacher's lounge now.
01:50If you're looking for a fight, we can settle it later.
01:53I-I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you!
01:57Huh?
01:59Um, can I tag along with you and lend a hand?
02:02I'll be your assistant or carry your things, whatever works for you!
02:06Wh-what's with you?
02:10Do whatever you want.
02:12Thank you so much!
02:14From then on, I've been sticking to I like glue.
02:17At first, she was skeptical, but then she realized I was harmless and let me be around her.
02:23What are you always drawing? Show me!
02:26Oh, wait!
02:28Huh? Is this... me? It's really good!
02:33W-well, it doesn't compare to your real beauty, though!
02:37Wow! You can earn money from doing this!
02:41The more time we spent together, the more I was drawn to her.
02:45I need to tell her how I feel!
02:48Why not just go all out and give it my best shot?
02:52And then...
02:54Sure!
02:56Really?
02:57W-well, we're practically like a couple, always together and stuff.
03:03No way! The cool, beautiful, cute eye is my girlfriend?
03:08Hey! I can totally hear everything you're thinking about!
03:12It was a total surprise, but we ended up becoming a couple.
03:17We hung out after school, reading manga at each other's places.
03:21We weren't all lovey-dovey like most couples, but we were happy in our own special way.
03:26Then one day, I got called from a senpai from her hometown and then disappeared.
03:33A few hours later, the next time I saw her, it was in a hospital room.
03:38Ai! What happened?
03:41It's nothing. I told them to stop bothering me and this is what happened.
03:46Looks like you might need to stay in the hospital for a while.
03:50But... okay! I'll come here every day! I'll bring mangas and...
03:55No! Just call it quits with me, alright?
03:59Sorry, what?
04:01I don't want to bring you into my mess, Kento.
04:04But I might be able to help you...
04:07Having a wimpy guy like you hanging around is a pain!
04:11I... I see. I'm sorry.
04:15Goodbye.
04:17After that, we graduated and I went to design school without saying a word to Ai.
04:23I couldn't stop thinking about her, but I was too scared to reach out because I thought she might ignore me.
04:30Time passed and I started working as an aspiring illustrator.
04:34But I had no idea where I was or what she was doing.
04:38I thought we'd never meet again.
04:41She went and chose to be a nurse. Who would have thought?
04:45Um... are you listening?
04:48Y-yes! Um...
04:51Do you really not remember me at all?
04:54Of course! I haven't forgotten about her at all!
04:57But if I mention it, it could make things awkward and they might change my nurse.
05:02Y-yes. I'm sorry, but I have no idea who you are.
05:07Ah! Really?
05:10Y-yes!
05:12She's still incredibly cute!
05:14I feel guilty, but I have to pretend I don't know her.
05:18I see. But hold on a sec.
05:22Is something wrong?
05:24N-no! It's nothing.
05:26Let's focus on your treatment from now on, okay?
05:30I lied, but it must be awkward for her.
05:33And maybe I simply forgot that we used to go out?
05:37I'm coming in!
05:39Oh, okay.
05:41Let me take your temperature now. Can you raise your hand?
05:44Huh?
05:45Here, I'll help.
05:47Was she always like this?
05:49Oh, thank you. Uh, Miss Gotou?
05:53I have to be careful not to call her by her first name.
05:56But she's surprisingly sweet.
05:59A few days later.
06:01Alright, let's take off your clothes.
06:04I can do it myself!
06:06You've got some broken bones. Don't go too hard on yourself, okay?
06:12What's broken are my legs, but she's super sweet.
06:16I'll ask her some questions to understand what's happening.
06:20Um...
06:22Did we have something going on before the accident?
06:26Um...
06:28I don't think you remember.
06:31But we were classmates in high school and...
06:35We used to date.
06:37She actually remembered that we used to be a thing?
06:40But don't force yourself to remember.
06:43I was being too close for comfort, right? I'm sorry.
06:47No, it's not like that.
06:49You know, it might jog my memory if you treat me the way you did when we were together.
06:55Is that so? Hmm...
06:58Let me have a word with your doctor about this.
07:01I told her to act like she did when we were a couple so I could jog my memory.
07:06But she was distant back then. That's what I thought, but...
07:11Kento! Open your mouth!
07:15W-why?
07:17We used to do this a lot, didn't we?
07:20The doctor said it might help trigger memories, so I got special permission from him.
07:24Wait, that never happened, though!
07:27Ken! Let's put all our energy into your healing and not push you to remember stuff, alright?
07:35She never called me Ken before!
07:38It stung a bit, but it's all good!
07:41And so, I started looking after me in a sweet and different way.
07:46That helped me get better really quickly, but there was a slight problem.
07:50Nighttime in the hospital is so scary!
07:54I'm already bad with ghosts and stuff.
07:57I want to press the nurse call button, but it's embarrassing to call for this.
08:03No, I can't take it anymore!
08:06Ken!
08:10Miss G-Goto!
08:12I knew you'd find it scary at night.
08:15See? You used to be scared of these things back then.
08:19She even remembered that?
08:22It's my break time now, so I have some free time.
08:26I'll do that thing for you.
08:29Uh, that thing?
08:32Your palms are sweating like crazy.
08:37I've never seen her do this before.
08:40Maybe my memory is messed up.
08:43Um, what kind of person was I?
08:46Hmm? You weren't the strongest or most confident.
08:51Always lost in your thoughts.
08:53But you're such a sweetheart who makes me feel relaxed.
09:00Oh, sorry! I gotta go deal with something. See ya!
09:03I had no clue she felt that way about me.
09:07I want to be honest and tell her that my memory is back,
09:10but I'm afraid it'll mess things up between us.
09:13And I'm still scared at night.
09:16But I said she's off today.
09:19Ken!
09:23Hey there! I'm Yoneda, filling in for Ai.
09:26By the way, I was quite surprised when you were brought in.
09:30It's been like a blast from high school days, huh?
09:33What do you mean?
09:35You know, back when she got seriously injured in a fight.
09:39Remember that chatty nurse who was in the room?
09:42Oh wait, I guess you don't remember.
09:45Could she be the nurse from that time?
09:48But you know, it was rough when you left that day.
09:51She was bawling her eyes out after you left.
09:57I... I...
10:00I was thinking about leaving my wild side behind just to be with Kendall forever.
10:05I don't think I can be a decent human being anymore.
10:09Believe it or not, I used to be a real troublemaker like you.
10:14Huh?
10:15When I got injured like you and ended up in the hospital,
10:19the nurse who took care of me was incredibly kind.
10:22I can work for others like this now.
10:25What about you? Wanna give it a try?
10:29Huh?
10:30I've been supporting her in different ways.
10:33And now she's working hard here and juggling taking care of her grandmother at home.
10:38Now she's quite popular with everyone.
10:40Oh, and I may have had a little something to do with her becoming your nurse.
10:45What?
10:49I can't believe I had to deal with that.
10:52Could it be?
10:54Did you get your memories back already?
10:56Yes, I'm sorry.
10:58But if I tell the truth, I was scared that my nurse might change.
11:03Alright, then I'll handle it with the doctor.
11:06Oh, well, well.
11:09Speaking of the devil, huh?
11:13Would you like me to hold your hand too?
11:16No, I'm okay.
11:18Just kidding.
11:20Let's just take it easy and focus on healing, okay?
11:23Okay.
11:24Yoneda told me about Ai's old feelings that I had no clue about.
11:29But when I saw her, I just couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth.
11:33And my rehabilitation had already begun.
11:36She's really concerned about me as a patient.
11:39So I'm gonna take that energy and put it towards my rehab.
11:43You got into an accident with a bicycle?
11:48I was feeling encouraged by that idea.
11:51But she's acting kind of rude.
11:54I'm sorry for the wait.
11:56But here's the info on the patient.
11:58What the heck is this?
12:00It's so hard to read.
12:02I'm sorry about that.
12:05You're just flirting with patients and calling it nursing.
12:09Ai isn't like that.
12:11Kento?
12:13She's more caring than anyone else.
12:15Ai isn't just cute.
12:19What's your deal?
12:20Mind your own business.
12:22Uh, sorry. I just...
12:25No! I'll get someone new in a jiffy.
12:28Eventually, that rehab specialist left the hospital real quick.
12:33Apparently, her bosses called her out for her bad attitude, making things awkward for her.
12:39The new person was great, and with Ai's help, my recovery went faster than I thought.
12:44But lately, I feel like there's a bit of distance between us.
12:48She said she was off today, so maybe when we meet again...
12:53Yo!
12:55Huh? What are you doing here?
12:58I'm bored at home.
13:00I wanted to talk to you about something.
13:02Could it... be... that your memory's back?
13:07Huh?
13:08You called me Ai the other day, and I haven't told you my first name.
13:13You called me just like back then.
13:16I'm sorry. Actually, all the memories came back in a flash when I saw you.
13:22Are you serious?
13:24You remembered from the beginning?
13:26Why didn't you say so?
13:28Well, I was worried that if I spilled the beans about my memory coming back, they'd replace you with a different nurse.
13:36What's that supposed to mean?
13:38Oh, so that means even back then...
13:42I knew she'd be upset.
13:44But I'm glad.
13:48I mean, it's pretty awkward that you suddenly got all your memories back when you saw me.
13:53Of course, but I meant it in a good way, though.
13:57Really? Oh, but I should report this to the doctor.
14:01I already told him about that.
14:04Oops, sorry. Did I interrupt something?
14:08N-not at all. It's nothing like that.
14:11Huh? But why was she suddenly so kind?
14:15But now that the truth is out, my next goal is...
14:19to get discharged as soon as possible!
14:22Don't push yourself too hard, okay?
14:25No, I want to get better soon and leave the hospital!
14:28I get what you mean.
14:30Right now, it's just me as the patient and her as the nurse.
14:34But I gotta get discharged real quick and let her know how I feel about her one more time!
14:40By the way, the rehab specialist said I'm good to go solo,
14:44so I don't need anyone to come with me anymore.
14:47What? But Kento, you're always ending up in accidents,
14:51so I have to go with you! Come on, let's go!
14:54R-right! I love how she's icy but still super sweet.
14:59She's one of a kind!
15:01You seem to be popular with other patients, too.
15:05Really? But most of my patients tend to recover faster than planned.
15:09I wonder why.
15:11Your cuteness is like medicine for the heart and mind!
15:15Oh, shut up!
15:18And time flew by.
15:21Wow, I'm finally saying goodbye to this room!
15:25You're leaving a week earlier than planned.
15:28You really wanted to get out of here, huh?
15:30By the way, what were you doing that led to that bad injury?
15:35Well, you see... I can't remember.
15:40Come on! No more pretending you forgot!
15:44No, I really can't remember.
15:47Seriously?
15:49Well, it's pretty common to have a fuzzy memory of what happened during an accident.
15:54But I somehow remember...
15:57I think I rushed out of the house to see someone special to me.
16:02What? Y-you were seeing someone special?
16:06My memory is failing me. I can't remember a thing.
16:10Well, you better get discharged soon, then.
16:14I'm finally out of the hospital, now just swinging by for checkups every other week.
16:19Returning home and resuming work, I was filled with motivation like never before.
16:24Of course, I wanted to become a man worthy of Ai.
16:27Everything went back to the usual without any trouble.
16:30I wasn't in the hospital on my last day there, but Yoneda told me this unbelievable story.
16:36I can't believe something like that happened.
16:40That girl was recruited from a famous hospital in the city to go work there.
16:44I heard it yesterday, too. Indeed, her patients were known for recovering unusually quickly.
16:50She didn't tell me directly, so that means...
16:54Yeah, it must mean that.
16:57Was she just being kind to me because she had to as a nurse?
17:01Did she act kind to me out of obligation?
17:04Should I just give up and forget about her?
17:07No! There's no way I could forget about her!
17:11I want to see her! I want to see her and tell her my feelings!
17:15I'm coming now, Ai!
17:17Wait, huh? This feeling... it's like deja vu.
17:24I'm sure this is where I turned when the accident happened.
17:28Oh, no!
17:30Kento!
17:32Ai?
17:34Honestly, what are you doing? You want to break your bones again?
17:38Sorry, right. There's something I wanted to tell you.
17:42Oh, shoot!
17:45Ouch!
17:47Oh my god! Are you okay?
17:50What's with that expression? Don't tell me you've lost your memory again!
17:55No, it's the opposite. I just remembered. I was in a hurry for someone special when the accident happened.
18:02When you say someone special, you mean your girlfriend, right?
18:07I was talking about you, Ai.
18:10Huh?
18:11That day was the first day I ever spoke to you. I was too restless to stay put, so I dashed out of my place.
18:19What? No way!
18:21Even today, I heard from Yoneda about your transfer, but to think I'd almost get into another accident...
18:28It's like fate is messing with me.
18:31But... in a way, this is fate.
18:35Huh?
18:36On the day of our third year, I felt like I didn't belong, and I was on my way to the teacher's lounge to quit school.
18:44Is that so?
18:45Yeah. So being able to continue school and becoming a nurse, it's all thanks to you, Kento.
18:52I wished I could be as thoughtful as you.
18:55I was sure you had a girlfriend, but I was really hoping you'd tell me not to move to the new hospital.
19:02No, if you want to go, you should. But...
19:06Let me stay by your side!
19:08Huh?
19:09Not as your assistant or a patient, but as your boyfriend!
19:14Kento! Of course! I won't go anywhere else!
19:19Oh yeah, can you explain why you were so unusually nice to me when I had memory loss?
19:26Uh, I'm sorry. It totally looked like I was taking advantage of the situation.
19:33Looking back at high school, I wish I had the courage to be more honest and open with you.
19:39I acted like that because I just wanted to be myself around you.
19:43Then you can be yourself around me as much as you like starting now, okay?
19:49Okay. I'll do that. If you lose your memory again.
19:55Just kidding!
19:57I hope that's really just a joke.
20:00After that, I stayed working at that hospital, carrying on with her work as a top nurse with Yoneda.
20:07On the other hand, I improved my drawing skills, and I also enjoyed going on dates with Ai during our days off.
20:13We focused on staying healthy and having a loving relationship.
20:17But after a few years, we were back in the hospital.
20:26Ai! You did great!
20:30Let's keep doing our best together, honey.
20:33Aw, this baby's going to be such a beauty!
20:37Yoneda, I never knew you had a license to be a maternity nurse.
20:41I'll be carrying on with our amazing family.
20:44We're gonna have a great time and create lasting memories together.
