Episode Synopsis

Hanaya can’t shake off her aunt’s comments about Hiroto (from the previous clip). While the two hang out in the school common room, she finally gathers the courage to ask what’s been weighing on her heart: “Are you following Jesus because you truly want to—or because you like me?”Caught off guard and afraid that she might stop talking to him, Hiroto plays it safe. What follows is an honest, heart-searching conversation about relationships, calling, and eternity. Hanaya shares her passion for cross-cultural missions after high school, her personal boundaries around purity, and her desire to live a life that truly matters. Hiroto begins to realize that pursuing her might come with deeper challenges—and deeper meaning—than he expected. He feels like time is slipping away. As Hanaya drifts off into a short nap, Hiroto watches her quietly, his heart stirred. In that still moment, he whispers a prayer to Jesus, unsure of the future but desperate to be real.Whether you're a Christian teen, a parent, a mentor, or just someone seeking truth—you’ll find something here to stir your heart, challenge your thinking, and remind you what really matters. Perhaps God may prompt you to think outside the box of a conventional life.Only one life, the still small voiceGently pleads for a better choiceBidding me selfish aims to leaveAnd to God’s Holy will to cleaveOnly one life, a few brief yearsEach with its burdens, hopes, and fearsEach with its days I must fulfilLiving for self or in His willGive me Father, a purpose deepLet me say, Thy will be doneAnd when at last I’ll hear the callI know I’ll say it was worth it allOnly one life, it will soon be pastOnly what’s done for Christ will last— C.T.
