"You don't seem to be getting along with them lately." "They haven't gone to school much since you all started Grade..." "Those little motorcycles..." "mopeds..." "They ride them down by the station." "I hear they make a real nuisance of themselves." "Mr. Saito's worried about you." "He says those boys borrow money from you." "We don't have to talk about this now." "I'm not someone who has to know everything." "I'm sure there's nothing wrong." "It's good you've finally made some friends, isn't it?" "Hisao, are there any girls that you're friendly with?" "What's her name..." "Asako?" "I saw her the other day." "She's certainly pretty enough..." "But what's she really like?" "She spends a lot of time with Kamiya, doesn't she?" "She was at a private girl's school." "I'm told she dropped out in September." "That must have been hard on her parents." "Is it true you were lending her money, too?" "I know you won't like me saying this  but you shouldn't do that for people like Asako and Kamiya." "You know sometimes go out without saying where you're going..." "I mean, it's all right if you're friends with Kamiya  but if you're not..." "... I get a little worried." "I'm sorry..." "Ms. Mizukawa, that girl in B told me that morning  Kamiya and the others were beating you up behind the school." "It was this time of year  when they said you went swimming in that pond!" "I just can't believe that, you know." "I mean, you grew up around here!" "You know how deep it is!" "All your life I've told you, it's dangerous, don't go in there." "You always said you wouldn't!" "At your wake Kamiya and the others said they didn't know anything." "They said  you went in there yourself and drowned!" "I don't believe that for a minute!" "Asako told me  that you  wouldn't give them any more money  so they took you to the pond and started hitting you." "they beat you senseless  then got scared  and threw you in the water!" "You know..." "I'm going to go see Kamiya and Narahashi." "I should hear what they have to say." "Don't you worry." "I won't say anything stupid." "I won't embarrass you." "I'll just ask what happened." "It'll be all right." "It's true that when parents get involved in children's quarrels  things get difficult." "I understand, you know." "It's hard sometimes to be a sweet and gentle soul." "Still  I always liked that about you." "After all, people have to be kind to each other, don't they?" "What were we talking about?" "Oh, yes..." "Kamiya and the others." "It's okay, Mom." "Hmm?" "Why?" "It's not okay." "It's not okay at all!" "There's nothing okay about it!" "Nakanishi speaking..." "Oh, hello." "Thank you for the persimmons." "I'll have some with Hisao." "What, on television?" "Witnesses say that suddenly..." "very suddenly the two mopeds  plunged vertically into the river." "Oh, dear!" "They're dead?" "Dead are two Eishin High School students  Koichi Kamiya and Shoji Narahashi both 18." "They're dead..." "both of them." "Did you do that?" "Why?" "And here I was going to do it!" "I wouldn't have minded." "You are  really  a nice boy." "I'm glad." "I feel a lot better now." "It's a relief." "Now we'll have time to talk about things." "I've quit my job." "I'll have time now." "I want to find out the things you like." "We'll  do things together now." "Mommy's all right now." "Now I'll always  be with you." "Directed by SHUNICHI HIRANO" "I lay my hand on your hand gently." "But now, I can't feel the warmth of your hand." "I want you to hold me..." "just once." "We could feel each other anytime, but now we are apart."
