aka Changing times

Shigeru was arguing with Tomita, the publisher. "Tell me the truth! Did you spend the profits from my books?" "Well, no, not..." Okay, pay me, then?" Tomita looked worried. "Well, no, not just right now. Be patient, just a little."
The end of an era )
Somewhere, Sugiura caressed his kamishibai box. He said, "I'm sorry..."

aka Scary but nostalgic

This episode started with a pen drawing an eye on a manga figure. Shigeru lifted the pen as Fumie commented, "Scary but natsukashii" (brings back fond memories, old-fashioned, nostalgic?) Shigeru said, "What?" Fumie said, "It's what the teenager at the bookstore said." Shigeru nodded, then got up and opened the closet in his workroom. He dragged out the old tin box. Fumie said, "What's that?" As he opened it, he said it was paintings from his childhood. He showed scenery, etc. then pulled out one. "Here it is." He unfolded it to show red devils tormenting a figure. "That's hell." Then he explained (and they showed us a flashback) that his old maid had taken him to a nearby temple one night. She said this picture is heaven and this picture is hell, and the gods decide where you go. He said hell was much more interesting, as the pictures of the devils tormenting figures swelled and twisted.
Memories )
Fumie started to look at her notebook. From outside, someone called in a loud voice, "Excuse me?" Fumie went to answer the door, and looked at the older man standing there with his square bundle on his back. She said, "We don't need any." The man said, "Oh, I'm not a peddler. This is where Mizuki lives, isn't it? I'm an old friend of his." Shigeru came to the door, glanced at the man, and said, "Is it really you?" Then he went over and embraced him.

a.k.a. Foxes crying in the dark?

Fumie is walking in a dark hallway. She stops in front of a door and says, "Is it okay if I come in?" Silence. She goes in, and finds Shigeru sleeping. She picks up the suit coat from the floor and starts to fold it. Then she sees the false arm...
night time memories... )
Next, outside the front door, Shuhei and Kinuyo say goodbye to Shigeru and Fumie. Shigeru has a bundle, while Fumie has her small blue suitcase. Kinuyo looks at the bundle and says, "Put your false arm on. You never know who you're going to meet." Shigeru says he doesn't need it. Then Kinuyo says, "Take care, and be healthy." And she looks at Fumie and says, "Don't forget. Remember everything I told you."

The voiceover says we're off to Tokyo...
