Verified subtitle lines and timestamps for this episode:

1. [00:00] When I canceled the condo, the realtor stared at me.
2. [00:06] You've already paid the $45,000 down payment.
3. [00:10] Aren't you waiting for your fiancé to come back and sign with you?
4. [00:13] No. He's busy taking his first love shopping near Mount Fuji.
5. [00:17] For five years, every winter, Ryan Hale went to Japan.
6. [00:21] He called it business.
7. [00:23] But the photos he posted were always of Fuji's snow-covered peak.
8. [00:27] Whenever I asked when he would take me there for our honeymoon, he said, next time.
9. [00:31] Then yesterday, in an old camera he'd left at home, I found dozens of pictures.
10. [00:36] The same woman, the same angles, the same background.
11. [00:39] Cherry blossoms, white snow, Mount Fuji.
12. [00:42] The only trip he had ever taken with me was to the next city over to look at this condo.
13. [00:46] Maya, we don't need all that flashy stuff.
14. [00:48] We just need a real life together.
15. [00:51] I believed him.
16. [00:52] When it was time to sign the cancellation papers, I looked at the condo I had decorated myself.
17. [00:57] and suddenly broke down.
18. [00:58] I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
19. [01:01] Do you still want to cancel?
20. [01:03] Yes, my resignation had already been approved.
21. [01:06] This was my last night in the city.
22. [01:09] Mount Fuji would never come to me.
23. [01:12] But I could walk away.
24. [01:17] Maya, did you really cancel it?
25. [01:19] I did.
26. [01:21] The down payment was $45,000.
27. [01:23] You just canceled it by yourself?
28. [01:25] Yes.
29. [01:26] Does Ryan know?
30. [01:27] He's in Japan.
31. [01:28] For work?
32. [01:29] I didn't answer.
33. [01:30] Did you tell him?
34. [01:32] No.
35. [01:32] Maya, even if you're fighting, the condo isn't something you can just...
36. [01:36] I found dozens of photos in his old camera.
37. [01:38] Same woman, same mountain, five years.
38. [01:41] Hannah Pierce?
39. [01:42] Yes.
40. [01:43] Are you sure it's not a misunderstanding?
41. [01:46] What kind of business trip involves photographing the same woman in the same place for five winters?
42. [01:50] Claire stopped talking.
43. [01:57] On the way, Ryan sent me a text.
44. [01:59] A photo.
45. [01:59] Hot chocolate in a white ceramic cup.
46. [02:01] A little deer was painted on the side.
47. [02:03] Caption, it's snowing in Tokyo.
48. [02:05] Freezing.
49. [02:06] I recognized that cup.
50. [02:08] He had sent me almost the same photo last winter.
51. [02:10] Same angle, same composition.
52. [02:12] Back then, I asked him which cafe it was.
53. [02:14] He said he'd wandered in at random and couldn't remember.
54. [02:17] But there was another photo in the old camera.
55. [02:19] A scarf I'd never seen.
56. [02:20] Five years.
57. [02:22] Every winter.
58. [02:23] The same cafe.
59. [02:24] The same cup of hot chocolate.
60. [02:26] The same woman.
