00:00Hi, my name is Joe Nishimura. I'm 26 and work for a painting company.
00:07Today, I went to a public housing development to check on the condition of the walls and ground for some repainting work we were about to start.
00:14We were going to erect scaffolding, so it was very important to check the condition of the ground.
00:20Alright, I just need to go back to my office to fill out some paperwork and we are done.
00:25On the third floor of the building.
00:28It's so windy.
00:31I got it!
00:32Wow!
00:36Wait a minute, the ground feels a little bit soft here.
00:40I was knocked unconscious.
00:43Ouch.
00:45Huh? Joe!
00:47Owie! Joe has called the doctor!
00:51When I opened my eyes, I was staring up at a white ceiling.
00:55Through the haze, I could hear someone shouting.
00:59I am...
01:01Joe, do you recognize me?
01:04Oh, you're back!
01:06That's good, I'm so happy!
01:09Uh...
01:12They said it was a miracle I regained consciousness.
01:15I had been in and out of consciousness for a while now.
01:18I could see and hear, but I could not recognize what I was listening to or seeing.
01:23Today is a beautiful day! The sky is so blue!
01:28That voice is... so soothing.
01:31It feels like I've been next to this person every day.
01:35Truthfully, I had no idea who she was.
01:38Auntie?
01:40So, you can recognize me now?
01:43Auntie...
01:44Who is that lady?
01:46Her name is Owie.
01:48She is the woman who fell from the third floor of the public housing project and landed on you.
01:53You have been unconscious for seven months.
01:56You broke a lot of bones, even your skull.
01:58At one point, we thought we had lost you.
02:01That is when I learned what had happened to me.
02:05I'm so sorry!
02:08I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you!
02:12What?
02:13Owie, it's okay. You don't have to.
02:17Owie has come to see you every day since the accident.
02:21She said her family's financial situation is not very good,
02:24so she can't really offer you financial compensation.
02:28I see.
02:30The door swung open, and my uncle entered the room.
02:34Oh! It's a miracle! I'm so happy!
02:38I'm sorry I couldn't come faster.
02:40I was at work when I heard the news.
02:43I'm so sorry!
02:46Owie, it was an accident.
02:48I'm sure it was out of your control.
02:51I'm glad you weren't also badly injured.
02:54No! It's all my fault!
02:57Now that I was conscious, I noticed that Owie came to see me literally every day.
03:03Does she honestly come every day?
03:06Even after finishing a night shift at the factory she works in.
03:10When does she have time to sleep?
03:13Owie, you work a very tough job, don't you?
03:17You don't have to come to see me anymore.
03:19I'll be fine. Please take some time to care for your own health.
03:23No! I want to come to see you!
03:25It's all my fault you were in this situation.
03:29I've been through a lot,
03:30and I don't have to worry about hospital bills or anything like that.
03:34So there's no need to rush into compensation.
03:38I'll take care of you for the rest of your life!
03:41My whole life?
03:44I told you, you don't have to do that.
03:47I don't want to be a burden on you.
03:50But I won't be able to forgive myself if I don't do anything.
03:54At least let me take care of you until you leave the hospital.
03:58Okay, okay, fine. Just until I leave the hospital.
04:03Thank you.
04:04If I was in her position,
04:06I knew I had to accept her proposal
04:08because I would have felt the same way she did.
04:11Aoi and I started getting to know each other well.
04:14Oh, so those people aren't your parents?
04:18They are my aunt and uncle. I grew up with them.
04:21They've been taking care of me for a long time.
04:25My parents passed away when I was in junior high school.
04:29That's why I told you I don't need to worry about money.
04:31I'd still have all of my parents' inheritance money.
04:35I lost a parent when I was a kid too,
04:37but she had no life insurance because my parents lived a tough life.
04:42I haven't had a mom since I was very young,
04:44so I understand how hard it is to grow up without one.
04:48It was very tough.
04:50I'm glad you are still alive.
04:53Oh, thank you.
04:56I think I was already becoming attracted to Aoi.
05:00It felt nice to be taken care of by her.
05:03On the day I was leaving the hospital.
05:06Congratulations on going home.
05:09Aoi, thank you for being so nice to me.
05:12You have done such a good job of taking care of me.
05:15I'm not going to ask you for any financial compensation.
05:19Please take care of yourself.
05:21Thank you for everything.
05:23If it's okay with you, I would like to see you again.
05:27What?
05:29Oh, yeah, of course.
05:31We can meet up again as friends.
05:33Does the right side of your body still not work very well?
05:37Why don't you come and stay with us for a while?
05:40I'm okay. I can move around.
05:43If I'm alone, I'll get used to doing my own things again.
05:46It'll be like my rehabilitation.
05:48If you need anything at all, give me a call whenever you want.
05:52Thank you.
05:54Oh, I'd like to stop by my office.
05:57Can you give me a ride?
05:59I worked for the company that my dad left behind.
06:01Some of my co-workers started crying when I walked through the door.
06:05That was the first time I cried after the accident.
06:08Joe, I'm so glad you are back.
06:11We were so worried about you.
06:14I'm so sorry for making everyone worry.
06:18Aoi's been reporting back to us about your situation since the day of the accident.
06:22You should marry that lady.
06:25Aoi, what are you doing here?
06:27Aoi, what are you doing here?
06:30I don't even remember telling you where I worked.
06:33Your uncle told me.
06:36What? You went that far?
06:40Aoi gave me a ride to my apartment.
06:43I tried to stop her, but she was worried about me, so she followed me up to my room.
06:49What? What happened here?
06:52Did my aunt clean my apartment?
06:54Actually, I asked your aunt for your key and I came and cleaned it up for you.
06:59I thought it might be dangerous for you to do it right now.
07:02What? No way! That's too much!
07:06You aren't even my girlfriend! Just leave me alone! Please, go home!
07:11Ugh, you're right. It's too much. I'm so sorry.
07:16I was filled with embarrassment.
07:19What if Aoi had seen something I didn't want her to see?
07:21I was already scared of her enough as it was.
07:25I had been off work for some time and was relaxing at home.
07:29Aoi had been next to me every day, but now she was never there.
07:35Oh, this is her favorite actor!
07:38Oh, no, no, forget it.
07:42I'm always thinking about her.
07:45Maybe I was too mean to her.
07:48One week later.
07:50I got a call from Aoi.
07:52Aoi?
07:54Joe, sorry for calling you, but I can't stop worrying about you.
07:59Are you eating well? Is everything okay?
08:02If it's okay with you, I would like to come around and make your lunch.
08:06Sorry about the last time we spoke. I was too mean to you.
08:11I can't stop thinking about you.
08:14I'll die if I never see you again.
08:17Like a spoiled child, I felt my true feelings coming out.
08:22The next afternoon,
08:24Aoi came over to my apartment when she finished her night shift, and we had lunch together.
08:30That's delicious!
08:32Aoi, you're a very good cook.
08:34Oh, I'm happy you like it.
08:37After my mom passed away, I had to learn to do all of the housework.
08:41I realized how overbearing I had been the other day when you told me to leave.
08:46I guess I was just trying to satisfy my guilt. It was too much.
08:51Will you please come over to cook for me again?
08:55Things are difficult for me now, so I'm going to take advantage of your kindness.
09:00Yes, sure!
09:02Aoi smiled happily.
09:04Then, Aoi came to my apartment every day.
09:08What will you make today?
09:10I feel like a little kid. You have complete control of my stomach.
09:15I have so much fun with you.
09:18Do you?
09:20I had completely fallen in love with her.
09:22Two weeks later,
09:24Joe, I can't hold it in anymore.
09:27Oh, me too.
09:30All of a sudden, she took the bull by the horns.
09:34Your room is dirty and your parents' memorial altar is covered in dust.
09:39If you keep living like this, you will end up getting sick.
09:43Please marry me!
09:45What? I was just thinking about proposing to you.
09:49Yeah, please. Let's get married.
09:54My patience has finally paid off.
09:57By the way, is there anything that you can't stand?
10:01Oh, uh, I don't know.
10:04I forgot about everything.
10:07Six months later, I married the woman who fell on me from the sky.
10:12God played a trick on us, and it was a painful encounter, but we're living happily ever after.
10:19Right now, I still have some numbness in the right half of my body, but it doesn't interfere with my everyday life.
10:26I could no longer work on scaffolding, so I transferred to a sales job.
10:31The next time something falls out of the sky and lands on me, I hope it's money.
10:55you
