Xiaohei?
Hello?
Kujirai! Got a minute to talk?!
Oh... yes. What's up?
Can you hear this noise?
Recently, my neighbor's been really noisy at night, and I can't take it!
Naam Caang Street, right?
I'll look into it.
Thank you, that'd be helpful!

I'm sorry. I'm still working on them.
Are they due today?
Um, who are you?
Huh? You okay?!
Here you go.
Thank you.
Sorry for the mess.
I need to make 50 more of these.
You know, if you're not feeling well, I have painkillers.
This isn't something I should discuss with someone I just met...
Hmm? What's up?
Oh, your boyfriend?
Let me guess. Did he cheat on you?
The woman in that picture...
That's not me.
Huh?
But this is obviously...
Yes, it looks like me.
But he and I are not in that kind of relationship,
and we never took that photo.
Plus...
I don't have memories.
Not just of the day we took that photo.
I can't remember anything about my past.
I didn't notice that until today. Never even thought about it.
And Kudo-san never said a word.
Then I'm sure this isn't you.
But...
You did tell me in the beginning that it wasn't you.
There are other people without a past.
Like me, for example.
From here all the way down to here.
I had work done on my entire body.
I threw away all of my past.
Egg Tarts
If someone brought up my past, I'd deny it and tell them it wasn't me.
I'll be the one to decide who is and isn't me.
Isn't that enough?
This tart is the first thing I ate after the plastic surgery.
You could say that this is a birthday cake for my newborn self.
I am happy that I can serve this tart to you today.
Oh, it's good.
I'm Hajime Kudo.
I've been transferred to the Kowloon branch from the Japanese branch as of today.
Looking forward to working with you!
You're 30 years old.
Two years younger than me.
I'm Reiko Kujirai. Nice to meet you, Kudo-kun.
Hajime Kudo is a good name.
You think so?
Eight is considered a lucky number here too.
It sounds similar to "faat coi," as in, "may you be rich."
Tsumo!
What?!
Faat
All Green? Kujirai-chan, luck favors you too much!
Maybe it's thanks to Kudo-kun.
His name is Hajime, with the same "faat" as "faat coi."
Tintin Eatery
I'd say mahjong is one of the tricks to doing well here.
I can hear about what concerns residents may have.
Oh, and learning the shortcuts is a must.
And...
Here you go.
When you have lunch with me, it will always be at this place, just so you know.
Every day?!
Kudo-kun...
Don't you feel the rightness in this plump boiled dumpling in golden broth?
Here, Kudo-kun.
Thank you.
It's good.
Watermelon flavor?
Something the matter?
Huh? Oh, nothing...
Are there any other hints for navigating Kowloon in your book?
Let's see...
To be in love, I guess.
Huh?
I'm being serious.
A flickering streetlight, a moldy back alley, noisy neighbors...
Things like that make Kowloon feel nostalgic.
I think this feeling of nostalgia is the same as being in love.
I'm in love with Kowloon.
But if I'm not mistaken, this place is going to be demolished.
They've been saying that for years.
Wouldn't it be painful to be in love, knowing it would be gone someday?
Chicken Family
Cheers!
It's been a while, Reko-pon!
We saw each other yesterday.
Let's dig in! Hong Kong Lemon Chicken!
I'm glad you seem to be feeling better.
I want to know the truth after all.
I bet you do.
Might as well ask this Kudo guy, right?
There's no reason you can't.
It's not like you're in love with him.
Oh, I see how it is...
And the fact that he hasn't said anything probably means he wants to hide it.
I see. Hey, what do you think of this hypothesis?
Let's call this woman who looks like you "Kujirai B."
They were engaged, right?
The simplest explanation is that Kujirai B has amnesia, and you are her.
Maybe Kudo-san is waiting for your memory to come back.
If that's the case, it makes sense that he doesn't want to tell you the truth.
Rather than complicating things by telling you the truth,
it's better to wait for you to remember.
But then...
who am I now in Kudo-san's eyes?
Wong Loi Realty Company
Man, I'm hungry.
Should we stop now and go eat?
I know a place that has good lemon chicken.
It just opened the other day.
A new place?
Let's just go to the usual spot.
I told you before that I sometimes feel a sense of nostalgia with you.
But do you feel the same... about me?
I do.
Kudo-san.
I want you to look at me.
I see your ears aren't pierced.
And...
Your crow's feet are pretty obvious.
All right! Let's go eat plump boiled dumplings, which must have beauty benefits!
No, thanks. I'll work some more.
Oh yeah? Well, then...
See you later!
Today, we put a spotlight on Hebinuma General Medical Center,
a comprehensive beauty and health facility
that opened in Kowloon's Dung On Tower Central the other day!
Hebinuma General
Center
To celebrate their participation as advisor on the Generic Terra construction project,
they're offering free health checkups to all residents, starting today!
You think Dr. Hebinuma is here?
Is he that popular?
So popular, it's impossible to book consultations with him!
He took over his father's pharmaceutical company, and it's thriving!
Kujirai!
Xiaohei.
A friend of yours?
Yeah. She lives in one of the apartments my company manages, and we've gotten close.
Is that so?
I'm Yaomay. Nice to meet you.
Oh, you're the source of the ghost noises.
Nice to meet you!
The last is the barium swallow test.
I've never had barium before.
It's yucky.
Really?
We're offering free cosmetic surgery consults.

Goldfish Teahouse
Huh? Gwen quit?
But why?
I'm not sure.
I just started here today.
Goldfish Teahouse
I was hoping the person who took the photo might have more information.
Why would he quit now of all times?
Tell me what he looks like later.
I might run into him somewhere.
Sure.
I'll give you a discount.
I see your ears aren't pierced.
Wow, earrings?
But wearing something like that, you'd be like Kujirai B—
How about these?
They look most similar to the ones Kujirai B had.
Wong Loi Realty Company
I brokered Gwen's apartment.
He hasn't moved, has he?
Huh? I've never seen an error like this.
Good morning.
Reiko.
Morning, Kujirai-kun.

Those earrings...
Not pierced. Just clip-ons.
I saw this cute pair at a street vendor, so I thought I'd change things up a little.
Knock it off, damn it.
Oh? Did Kudo-kun head out?
Oh, Reko-pon!
I was stupid.
That wasn't the look I was hoping to see on his face.
And it's pointless to draw his attention like this.
Room 16
I've got some sweets.
Wong Loi Realty Company
Hello.
Hey.
Yesterday—
Sorry about yesterday.
I was feeling frustrated.
I took it out on you, I guess.
It was childish of me.
I didn't really...
Right. The way you acted yesterday was terrible.
Hey, I thought things were resolving nicely.
As an apology, I'd like the right to decide where we're having lunch today.
I was deeply hurt, so I want to eat lemon chicken for lunch today!
Okay.
Okay, but... might as well go for dinner.
Dinner?
We're gonna want to get drinks with lemon chicken, right?
Chicken Family
It's very good.
I told you, didn't I?
Not as good as the boiled dumplings, though.
Uh-huh.
Do you come here alone?
No, with my friend Yaomay.
Oh, I see.
The rain stopped.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
Are you mistaking me for someone again?
I'm looking at you.
Watch your step.
Gene Terra is shining extra bright tonight.
Hebinuma General
Center
Gosh, I can't wait!
There are so many varieties of anti-aging treatments.
I hope one removes my crow's feet.
Hey, Reko-pon.
Are you taking the consult with your regular makeup on?
I see you put some extra effort into yours.
Why wouldn't I?!
It'd be rude not to at least put on lipstick to meet Dr. Hebinuma!
There it is.
Put it on!
But this is Kujirai B's...
A patient's here for a consult.
Come in.
Ms. Reiko Kujirai, age 32.
You're interested in anti-aging treatments.
Yes. Thank you for your time.
What exactly is bothering you?
I'm self-conscious about my crow's feet.
Attached is the medical record of the compatible person.

Ms. Reiko Kujirai...
Ms. Reiko Kujirai.
Let me take a look at your face.
Excuse me.
Excellent.
The skin's glow and feel... There's even warmth to it.
Where do you work?
W-Wong Loi... It's a realty company.
If I may ask, are you married?
What is your family structure?
I don't know.
You don't know?
What do you mean by that?
My memories are missing.
Pardon me, but that's outside of my field of expertise.
What I do know is...
that your wrinkles have no history.
Wrinkles typically form slowly, over the course of daily life.
But your wrinkles are different.
It's like they existed from your beginning.
Mere grooves in the skin.
You have wrinkles with no history. If you also have missing memories...
It's possible that those memories never existed in the first place.
But that doesn't matter.
What matters is that you exist right here, right now.
That fact is more wonderful than anything.
I exist... here and now?
As such... could you tell me more about yourself?
Hey, Reko-pon! How did it go?
Let's go!
Huh?
H-Hold on! Reko-pon!
The lipstick didn't suit her very well.
It's too wonderful. I might go crazy.
