00:00It's hard to describe in words. I feel this passion inside of me, like I can be reborn. Like everything can just start over.
00:12That's Misuzu Kamiya. She's supposed to be in our grade, but she's been absent every single day this year. I mean, she hasn't even bothered to show up once.
00:20Well, lots of people do that, you know?
00:23Yeah, but it's weird that she's here on summer vacation.
00:27La-la-la-la-la-la!
00:32Your theme is going to be my town. It can be about anything to do with this city. It would be nice if you had some photos and sketches to illustrate your essay.
00:43I'd normally assign something like this to a small group, but, uh, I guess in your case, you'll be working alone?
00:50Right. So I guess the due date will be when school starts in September?
00:54Uh, sure.
00:56Goodbye, then!
01:08Hey, you over there! Come here for a second! Would you guys like to see an awesome puppet show?
01:14Come behold the Mysterious Puppet Man. Just a hundred yen a head. Well, anything over ten.
01:20Let's get going!
01:21It's amazing! Hey, come on! Come back!
01:27Starting to think I'm hopelessly out of touch with today's youth.
01:38A long time ago, yeah, long before I started my travels, my mother would say to me, I can't even remember how many times,
01:47Listen to me, son. A girl is waiting for you up there in the sky.
01:53The sky?
01:54Yes. She is bound and unable to move, and she's crying for she is alone.
02:02We have come across many like her over the generations, but we have never been able to save them.
02:12In time, you will embark on a journey, and someday, somewhere, you will meet her.
02:20You and you alone have been given the power to save her.
02:27But listen, Yuka-chan. You must live your life as you choose.
02:32If you do not wish to take on this responsibility, you may simply forget she ever existed.
02:40Look at this! Isn't it cool?
02:43It's a turtle! It's a turtle!
02:45You mean a turtle-turtle?
02:51I suggest some time at the library. They should have plenty of materials on the town's history.
02:57Okay.
03:21It's a story from long, long ago. One that is still told in dim corners.
03:27One that the ebb and flow of time has not worn away. Somehow, it has endured.
03:33It's strange and sad, this ancient tale.
03:51When the first winged woman was captured, she was with child.
03:55Her labor when it came was long and difficult.
03:59After the baby was born, it was taken away from its mother to a large estate in a village many miles away across the mountains.
04:08And the child of that winged woman was named Kanabi no Mikoto, but she was commonly called Princess Kana.
04:21Princess Kana was frequently alone, all by herself in a huge mansion.
04:26It was not uncommon for her to spend an entire day without speaking to another soul.
04:50Oh, man.
04:54Torn it all?
05:21Tell me you didn't see that.
05:23Kinda hard to miss.
05:25Yeah, I guess.
05:26So, uh, are you okay, or, uh...
05:29Could you do me a favor and at least pretend you didn't see it?
05:32Hey, don't worry. I'm sure I'll forget about it in no time.
05:35Besides, you falling on your face isn't really any of my business.
05:39Right, that's good.
05:41Yeah, you're lucky to get hurt. Be careful.
05:51Keep practicing it.
05:58Princess Kana? Princess Kana? Where are you hiding?
06:07Oh, there you are.
06:09Uraha? Who is that?
06:12Huh? What are you pointing at, Princess?
06:15You see? Over there. That person.
06:21Oh, no. He's looking this way.
06:24Oh, him.
06:26He's a new guard, only recently appointed to be on duty here.
06:29He was sent from the capital by order of the Minister of the Right.
06:34So...
06:35Yes?
06:37Oh, it's nothing.
06:40Is there something you require of that manly, handsome person?
06:44That I, Uraha, quit.
06:47That I, Uraha, quit.
06:57And so it was that Princess Kana, who had always been alone,
07:01met the one and only friend she was ever to have in her life.
07:06Hey, what's with you kids, anyway?
07:09So, what happened to your little Gamera fella?
07:12You know, your little turtle friend from yesterday?
07:15Here. Here. Here.
07:18Oh, all right.
07:21Oh!
07:23Oh!
07:25Oh!
07:27Oh!
07:29Oh!
07:31Oh!
07:33Oh!
07:35Oh!
07:38Uh-oh. Check it out, kiddos.
07:43He may not do anything really all that special,
07:46but he'll tumble for you,
07:48or do a cute little poopie,
07:51or a sad little poopie-poo.
07:59Fieldwork? What's that mean?
08:01It's a summer project I'm doing for school.
08:03It's like an investigative report.
08:05Okay.
08:06I have to do a bunch of research on this town.
08:09The history and ancient legends,
08:11stories about the founding, you know, stuff like that.
08:14That's why I have to learn how to ride a bike.
08:16This town seems pretty small, but it's actually really big.
08:19Most people your age already can.
08:21That's exactly why I need to practice.
08:23With practice, I'm sure I can learn to ride in no time.
08:26Why didn't you learn before?
08:28Well, I don't know.
08:34Hey, stop it.
08:36Come on. I'm just shooting pictures of the bridge.
08:43I'm not just taking a vacation here, you know.
08:45I understand.
08:47I'm working as hard as I can to make enough money to live on.
08:50That little puppet?
08:52That's the work you're talking about, right?
08:54I saw you this afternoon.
08:55I get ten here, a hundred there.
08:57It doesn't sound like much,
08:59but on some days, it seems like a fortune.
09:01I'm here for your big summer festival.
09:03Then does it start till next Sunday?
09:05Sunday? Wait, you're kidding.
09:07That's a whole week from now. That can't be right.
09:09Mm-hmm.
09:11Oh, man.
09:13Guess I'll be sleeping outside for a little while longer.
09:27I went to elementary school here
09:29until just after the third grade.
09:31They said there weren't enough students,
09:33so they closed it down
09:35and sent us to the other school across town.
09:37Oh, yeah?
09:39I loved this place.
09:41I really did.
09:51Where to next?
09:53And so it was
09:55that Princess Kanna,
09:57who had always been alone,
09:59but the one and only friend she was ever to have in her life.
10:17They say this cave is where
10:19Yao Bikini was locked away for years.
10:21Who's Yao Bikini?
10:23She was the winged woman,
10:25Princess Kanna's mother.
10:33I guess that's enough research on the town for today.
10:35Thanks for everything.
10:37You really helped me out a lot.
10:39Hey, you don't need to thank me.
10:41I just expect you to keep your promise, okay?
10:43Here's your ramen, sir.
10:45And your rice.
10:47And your potstickers.
10:49Are you sure I can have the potstickers, too?
10:51Go ahead. Eat.
10:55Oh, wow.
10:57I guess you were really hungry, weren't you?
10:59I haven't been able to make much money recently.
11:01But there are lots of beaches
11:03and amusement parks around here
11:05where people gather,
11:07so I bet you could go there and make tons of money.
11:09Well, basically,
11:11I don't really like people,
11:13so I tend to avoid crowded places.
11:15You know, whenever that's possible.
11:17Oh, yeah?
11:19Especially chummy families
11:21where the parents and kids get along.
11:23Makes me sick.
11:25And they have those really fake smiles.
11:27You know what I'm talking about.
11:29The parents and the kids.
11:31I mean, they never smile like that at home.
11:33I don't want them watching my show.
11:35But a festival is better?
11:37I don't know.
11:39But I always felt like
11:41people at a festival are more connected.
11:43That their laughter is actually sincere.
11:45So that's it?
11:47That's what makes them okay?
11:49That's all?
11:51Just sincerity?
11:53Well, yeah.
11:55What do you care, anyway?
11:57For your information,
11:59I've never met anyone who truly is sincere.
12:01It doesn't exist.
12:03Everybody's fake,
12:05in one way or another.
12:11Well, thanks for the ramen, rice,
12:13potstickers.
12:15I appreciate it.
12:17I have to do more research
12:19at a bunch of places around town tomorrow.
12:21Good luck with that.
12:25I can't just sleep outside
12:27for a whole week.
12:47Wait!
12:49Wait!
12:55Here, take this.
12:57You can drink some juice on the bus.
13:01And you know,
13:03I was thinking,
13:05if you don't have anywhere else to stay,
13:07you can come stay at my house with me.
13:09Here, juice.
13:17Thank you.
13:37We're here.
13:39This is my house.
13:41Look out!
13:47Ah!
13:57Hey, Misuzu, how's it going?
13:59Are you alright, Mom?
14:01Have you been drinking again?
14:05We've been over this before.
14:07You shouldn't ride your bike when you've been drinking.
14:09You should call a cab instead.
14:11Okay, okay, okay.
14:13I'll leave the new shampoo and conditioner over here by the sink.
14:15Misuzu?
14:17So, uh, who's your friend?
14:19I already told you.
14:21His name is Yukito Kunisaki.
14:23Ah.
14:25Mom's always the last to know when daughter gets a boyfriend.
14:27He isn't my boyfriend!
14:29I only just met him today.
14:31He's been helping me with my research for this summer project
14:33I'm doing for school.
14:35This is the third time I've explained that to you.
14:39He's not too bad looking, though, right?
14:45Okay.
14:53My, aren't you handy?
14:55It's so nice to have a big, strong man around
14:57to keep up with all the repairs we need in this place.
15:01This is just a temporary fix.
15:03I have to get some wood, some plywood,
15:05and some tools to fix it right.
15:07You can stay here as long as you like
15:09if you don't mind sleeping in the shed.
15:11I'll go back to the house and get you a blanket and some sheets.
15:13You mean I...
15:15can stay?
15:17Make you nervous to be living with two extremely hot ladies?
15:19Uh, no.
15:21Now tell me the truth.
15:23Have you kissed her yet?
15:25Who?
15:27My precious little girl, Misuzu.
15:29No!
15:31I haven't done anything!
15:33What the hell's wrong with you?
15:37Come on in when you're done.
15:39I'll make you some tea.
15:43Thanks.
15:55Like the blowing wind.
15:57Unaffected by anything.
15:59Unimpressed.
16:01Unseeing.
16:03I was supposed to be on that kind of journey.
16:05But instead,
16:07I met a girl named Misuzu
16:09and her crazy mother,
16:11Haruko.
16:15I'm not naive enough to think my life is really gonna change.
16:19After a few more towns,
16:21these people probably won't be anything
16:23but a faded memory for me.
16:25And this ugly premonition
16:27will be gone once and for all.
16:29That's what makes them okay?
16:31That's all?
16:33Just sincerity?
16:35Sincerity.
16:37You believe it, you imagine it,
16:39and all you find is pain.
16:41It's stupid.
16:51How are you this morning, Yugi-Dan?
16:55I want to know if you can help me with my project again today.
16:57Your breakfast is waiting for you.
17:03So long!
17:05I'm off to go bring home the big ol' bacon, kiddos!
17:10Oh, she's like a bat out of hell.
17:12Hm? What was that?
17:14Oh, well, she rides really fast.
17:16Pyong!
17:18Super fast!
17:20Never mind.
17:22Pyong? Uh, I guess so, whatever you say.
17:24Let's go get some breakfast.
17:26Okay.
17:30Mama's really something.
17:32Every morning, she goes to sell fish
17:34at the fisherman's co-op.
17:36Then in the afternoon, she goes over to the farmer's market
17:38and mans a produce stand.
17:40And then at night, she's a supermarket cashier.
17:42Wow.
17:44Man, that's a lot of jobs.
17:54How wonderful!
17:56That isn't all.
18:09Oh, Rulia,
18:11you have such a wonderful and beautiful power.
18:13Thank you,
18:15but I am no match for you, Princess Kana.
18:17What?
18:19Are you telling me that you know?
18:21You know about me?
18:23It's no secret.
18:25You have the power of the gods, Kana.
18:27You know,
18:29but you...
18:31No, no, no!
18:33Everybody despises me because of this ridiculous power!
18:35I can't even take a single step
18:37outside this estate because they hate me so much!
18:39I'm not even allowed to!
18:49Then, since you already know about me,
18:51have you heard about my mother as well,
18:53Saruya?
18:55I've heard she's a prisoner, too.
18:57I've heard she's locked up in a cave
18:59somewhere over the mountains.
19:01I've never even
19:03met her.
19:05I'm sorry,
19:07Princess Kana.
19:13What is it?
19:15Come on,
19:17what are you laughing at?
19:19Say this, and now we've returned to the seaside
19:21for our second day of research!
19:23That's retarded!
19:25Why the heck would I say that, huh?
19:27Why the heck would I say that, huh?
19:29Let's go.
19:31Let's go!
19:33I remember thinking that morning,
19:35this is day two with Yukito,
19:37who might turn out to be the one and only friend
19:39in my life.
19:41And it started out pretty well.
19:43I can't remember ever having been so happy.
19:45We'd just met,
19:47but I felt like I've known him forever.
19:53But the princess knew all too well
19:55about the awful curse placed upon the winged people
19:57she would never be able to forget.
20:04Do it again!
20:06We want to see it again!
20:08What's wrong with you goofballs?
20:14It doesn't matter that you love him.
20:16It doesn't matter how deeply
20:18you love him.
20:20If you confess your love,
20:22the flame of your life will burn out
20:24and you will die before the next moon rises.
20:26That was the awful curse.
20:28The curse of all the winged people.
20:34What's wrong with that thing?
20:38Before the next moon.
20:54Is that Susan Cameo?
20:56Hey Cameo, is that you?
21:00So what are you doing up here?
21:02Are you planning to research the shrine
21:04for your summer project too?
21:06Oh, yeah.
21:08Well, okay. Good luck, I guess.
21:10So, uh,
21:12who else is in your group, Cameo?
21:14You are so bad. You know she's by herself.
21:16I know.
21:18Hey.
21:20Hurry up. Are we taking pictures or what?
21:24It's getting cloudy.
21:26You gotta hurry if we want to catch the light.
21:28Oh, right. Thanks.
21:30Wait up.
21:32What's going on?
21:34He's her partner.
21:36Yeah, but he's hot.
21:38And she's Ms. Suzu.
21:40So then how did I wind up with you two?
21:54It's funny.
21:56Every time I've come to this shrine,
21:58I've been looking for you.
22:00You know, I went to sleep right here in this room
22:02the first night I got off the bus.
22:04I didn't think I'd be back here again.
22:10My classmates,
22:12those girls from today,
22:14I think they think you're my boyfriend.
22:16Funny, huh?
22:28Oh, man. They're never coming down out there.
22:30Hey, is the doctor in?
22:32It's Ruko Cameo.
22:34Someone's here for you.
22:36I got a record of her temperature every day this week.
22:38And her calorie intake, too.
22:40What about her sleep?
22:42All the sleep stuff is on the next page.
22:44Just approximate numbers, of course.
22:48You wouldn't believe
22:50how much she hates getting her temperature taken.
22:52Has she been complaining about any symptoms lately?
22:54No, ma'am.
22:56But she's never been one to complain.
23:00It's really amazing
23:02how much pain that kid can put up with.
23:06Is it really as serious as I think?
23:10I believe what she has is more advanced
23:12than I'm equipped to handle.
23:18I'll write you a letter of referral
23:20to the university hospital.
23:22She needs to be examined somewhere
23:24in one of their facilities.
23:26No, doctor, please. Please listen.
23:28I want you to see her.
23:30I'll just bring her in next week.
23:32I'll tell her it's a regular checkup.
23:34She knows you. She'll be more comfortable with you.
23:36Perhaps if you explain everything to her first,
23:38I'd consider seeing her.
23:40I can't. I can't tell her.
23:50Cool.
23:52The reference books I checked out.
24:14Don't you have anything you'd like to wish for?
24:16I've never wished for anything before,
24:18so why bother starting now?
24:20Just a few sandwiches and a little juice.
24:22I made them before you woke up this morning.
24:24They look pretty good.
24:26Yeah, they're kind of my specialty.
24:30I started with nori, roast pork, bamboo shoots,
24:32and topped it off with a fish cake.
24:34What?
24:36It tastes like ramen.
24:38It's really great.
24:40Glad you like it.
24:42You wouldn't think they're stuck together would taste good.
24:44Yeah, it's not bad.
24:46So,
24:48what did you wish for back there?
24:50It looked serious,
24:52whatever it was.
24:56Man!
24:58What's up with these super thick juices you're always giving me?
25:00Yeah, aren't they great?
25:02What makes them so good is that they're really sweet and really thick.
25:10You know what I wished?
25:12I just stood there and thought,
25:14that was my mother.
25:16That was my wish.
25:18What do you mean by that, Misuzu?
25:20I don't know.
25:22That's just what I felt at the time.
25:24It's funny,
25:26but I had a completely different wish in mind when I went up there.
25:28That's kind of weird.
25:30I know, right?
25:32Just because.
25:34I mean, usually it's someone who's dying, isn't it?
25:36When someone's dying,
25:38they ask the gods to take care of the people they're leaving behind.
25:44Yeah.
25:54The legend of the winged people.
25:56Right.
25:58They were, you know, people who had wings.
26:00And it's said that this shrine was built
26:02on the site of the mansion
26:04where their princess, Lady Kana,
26:06was held captive for most of her life.
26:10Your legend sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
26:12I guess there are legends
26:14about them all over Japan,
26:16but this shrine is supposed to be the most famous one.
26:18Whatever.
26:20There's no way people can fly.
26:22Yeah, but...
26:24wouldn't it be wonderful
26:26if we could...
26:28fly away?
26:34We could fly high above the clouds,
26:36and we could see far and wide.
26:38Look!
26:40He was waving up at me!
26:42And Yukito's drinking that sweet, thick juice again,
26:44the stuff he says he doesn't like.
26:46I'm glad you're having fun.
26:48But in the end,
26:50the winged people weren't able to fly through the skies
26:52freely anymore.
26:54Everybody was afraid of their powers.
26:56So the emperor of the time ordered
26:58that they all be captured and imprisoned
27:00for the rest of their lives.
27:02Yalbikini,
27:04who had gained eternal life by eating the flesh of the mermaids,
27:06was thrown into a dark cave
27:08that would become her prison.
27:10Her newborn daughter, Princess Kana,
27:12was taken,
27:14sent away to the Sakura Mansion,
27:16which was located here.
27:18They were constantly watched by legions of guards,
27:20and the two of them were never allowed
27:22to meet face to face or fly.
27:38Saruya,
27:40I have never been able to leave this mansion.
27:46But there's a place I'd like to go someday.
27:48I would like to see the ocean.
27:50The ocean that lies beyond the forest.
27:52There's only one path to the shore,
27:54and there are a few farmhouses
27:56on the other side of the river.
27:58I'd like to go there.
28:00I'd like to see the ocean.
28:02The ocean that lies beyond the forest.
28:04There's only one path to the shore,
28:06and there are a few farmhouses
28:08along the way,
28:10so we could easily make a journey.
28:18Stand down,
28:20and let us pass!
28:22I am Second Lieutenant of the Palace Guard.
28:24By the authority of the Minister of the Right,
28:26I command you.
28:28We're only going as far as the ocean,
28:30and then we shall return immediately.
28:32That's all.
28:34We cannot allow it.
28:36Even if you were the Minister of the Right himself,
28:38we could not give you permission
28:40to take that girl outside of these walls.
28:42We are under strict orders
28:44to keep the princess here.
28:46For what reason?
28:48Any creature bearing wings isn't human.
28:50She's an abomination
28:52that distorts men's vision.
28:54Should anyone attempt to free her,
28:56we are under imperial orders
28:58to take their head.
29:00Without hesitation,
29:02is that enough reason for you, Ruya?
29:04Imperial orders?
29:06That's right.
29:08Directly from the Emperor.
29:10You got that?
29:12If you still want to leave,
29:14you'll have to kill every last one of us
29:16and be branded a traitor!
29:26Good evening, General Medicine.
29:28Oh, hello.
29:30Excuse me, is the professor in?
29:32Oh, yes. My name's Hijiri Kirishima,
29:34one of his old classmates.
29:40Hey, pops! It's pretty hot out there today.
29:42Think I'll have my usual,
29:44but double up the sake.
29:46Sure thing, sweetie. Good to see you again.
29:50Yes, it's the young girl I spoke to you about
29:52the other day.
29:54Yes, from unknown causes.
29:56That's right.
29:58I've seen your mother bring in data
30:00on her vitals every week.
30:02I've been noticing that they seem to be getting worse, slowly.
30:04Exactly.
30:06It's like her energy is draining away
30:08just a little bit at a time.
30:12No, unfortunately,
30:14the patient won't even consider hospitalization.
30:20So, what do you think he did next?
30:22What? He who?
30:24Handsome Sir Ruya, of course,
30:26he wanted to take Princess Kanna to the sea
30:28but was stopped by the palace guards.
30:30Oh, who knows?
30:32I don't care what that ancient little pansy did.
30:34You're funny, Yukito.
30:36Quit that stuff, okay?
30:38Your little giggles aren't cute.
30:40Oh, no.
30:42That ain't cute either.
30:48After their run-in with the guards,
30:50Ruya made it his mission to visit Princess Kanna
30:52every day and tell her about
30:54the outside world.
30:56He told her the wonders of the capital city, Kyoto.
30:58He told her unusual stories
31:00he had heard on his journeys.
31:02He did his best
31:04to make lonely Princess Kanna
31:06feel better.
31:18Hey, what's the matter?
31:24I'm just... I'm okay.
31:30Hey, what happened to you?
31:36And then Princess Kanna said,
31:38let's go home.
31:42She told Ruya, let's go home.
31:54Whoa!
31:56I'm home, guys!
31:58Misuzu, I'm home!
32:00You here?
32:02You're already in bed?
32:04This is a lot earlier than usual, huh?
32:08Dang, I have to take your temperature.
32:10I already did.
32:12Look on the vanity.
32:14Oh.
32:16You're such a good girl.
32:18I'm sorry.
32:20I'm so sorry.
32:22I'm sorry.
32:24I'm so sleepy.
32:26Oh, please, don't apologize for being tired, honey.
32:28I understand. You get some rest.
32:30I'll see you in the morning, okay?
32:32Oh.
32:34Yukito hasn't had any dinner yet.
32:36I'm on it.
32:38Check.
32:42Fix this thing, too,
32:44which I've been putting up with this stupid door for years.
32:46Ow!
32:48Ow!
32:50I hear you haven't eaten yet, huh?
32:52Well, no, I haven't.
32:54Let's go to that ramen and karaoke place.
32:56Oh, that's right.
32:58You're new to town.
33:00Well, there's a place right up here that serves some really great ramen.
33:02I'm not really
33:04much of a singer.
33:06Can you sing a little?
33:08Sorry.
33:10Yeah, you will be.
33:12I'm not much of a chef.
33:14You sure your stomach can handle my cooking?
33:16Yeah.
33:20Might as well.
33:22Gotta keep you company.
33:34By the way, Freeloader,
33:36how old are you?
33:38Don't you remember?
33:42You like to drink, right?
33:44Oh, good.
33:46Then we're gonna be friends.
33:50We're all responsible adults, don't you think?
33:52Yeah.
33:58This will put some hair on your chest, huh?
34:00You know what?
34:02I think I'm gonna drink straight through to morning.
34:04Do me a favor.
34:06Be a good friend to her, would you?
34:10She's a good girl, isn't she?
34:12Different, but good.
34:18I drank too much.
34:20Just forget whatever I said, okay?
34:22Is there...
34:24Is there something wrong with Ms. Uzo?
34:26There's nothing wrong with her.
34:28Nope.
34:30Nothing at all.
34:52Well, I'm off to work.
34:54Bye!
34:56Drive carefully!
34:58No fighting, you two!
35:00The weather lady says
35:02it's supposed to rain all day today.
35:04So, I guess I might as well take a break
35:06from doing fieldwork today, right?
35:14Be gone.
35:22Be gone.
35:24If you're taking the day off,
35:26I think I'll just go back to bed.
35:28Well, what about your breakfast?
35:30I'm not really hungry.
35:32Man, I've got a killer hangover this morning.
35:38Jeez, Haruko's such a drunk.
35:44Be gone.
35:46Be gone.
35:48Be gone.
35:50Be gone.
35:56It's you again.
36:08We didn't wake you, did we?
36:10Whoa, hey!
36:12There's a crow in the junk over on your shoulder there.
36:14Yeah, he's a crow.
36:16And he's also a friend of mine.
36:18This is Sky, Yukito.
36:22Hello.
36:24I haven't seen him since spring.
36:26He just popped in to see me a little while ago.
36:28Sweet of him to surprise me like that, huh?
36:30I wonder if he was busy
36:32raising a nest of cute little crow babies.
36:38So I guessed right, huh?
36:44So long!
36:46Bye-bye now!
36:48Come visit me again!
36:56Sky really is something, isn't he?
36:58And he's even a good flyer.
37:00He can fly higher than any crow I've ever seen.
37:04But of course I might just be thinking that
37:06because he's such a nice bird.
37:08He's strong, though.
37:10Did you notice how strong he is?
37:12Someday he's going to take me with him.
37:14He promised me.
37:16He said we're going to go way up,
37:18way above the highest clouds in the sky.
37:20He hasn't told me when just yet,
37:22but someday...
37:24someday we'll go into the sky.
37:26And then I'll see...
37:28I'll see how amazing everything is.
37:32I'll see...
37:34everything clearly.
37:44You want to play cars?
37:46I've got some in my room.
37:48I think I'm going out.
37:50I've got work to do.
37:52Really? Do you mean the puppet show?
37:54Yeah, that's right.
37:56But it's still raining.
37:58I don't think kids are going to come outside today.
38:00They'll come out as soon as the rain stops.
38:02But it's supposed to rain all day long.
38:04Yeah, well, maybe.
38:06So you're still going, then?
38:08Yeah.
38:10Right. Then I'll go with you.
38:12You...
38:14I wouldn't want you to throw up again.
38:20I'd hate to have that mother of yours
38:22kick my butt because she didn't think I was taking care of you.
38:24My mother?
38:26Ruko isn't my mother, silly.
38:28Huh?
38:30Well, I guess I should say she isn't my real mother.
38:32She's my real mother's big sister.
38:34You understand?
38:36Well, my real mother died
38:38when I was just a little girl.
38:40So Ruko took me in and stuff.
38:42Okay, so you and Ruko
38:44aren't really mother and daughter.
38:46Nope.
38:48So she gets drunk,
38:50and you throw up.
38:52Well, whatever you two are,
38:54you've got a pretty interesting relationship.
38:56I'm glad I'm not related.
38:58Yeah.
39:06Never mind all that.
39:08Look, I'm trying to tell you,
39:10I'm at the end of my rope here.
39:12Yeah.
39:14At any rate,
39:16you should probably prepare yourself, too.
39:18Yes, that's right.
39:20Bye.
39:22But still,
39:24I love Haruko.
39:26Most of the time,
39:28I think of her as my real mom.
39:30That night,
39:32the rain finally stopped.
39:34And then,
39:36for the first time in a week,
39:38no, more like ten days,
39:40I was able to soak in a bath
39:42thanks to the Cameo family.
39:46Hey, Vagrant!
39:48Look who's home from work!
39:54Get out of here!
39:56What are you, drunk and crazy?
39:58Yeah, you got me begged.
40:00Come have a drink with me when you get out, Tiny.
40:02You wish!
40:04Misuzu?
40:06Oh, look.
40:08There's a ring around the moon tonight.
40:10Sure is pretty, huh?
40:12So, how was it today?
40:14Huh? How was what?
40:16How are you feeling? Did you take it easy like I asked?
40:18Uh-huh. Sure did.
40:20I'm glad to hear it, honey.
40:22So, how's our little charity case doing?
40:24Hope he's been taking care of you
40:26while I'm at work.
40:28Mm-hmm.
40:34Hey, Misuzu.
40:36What do you think of this?
40:40I found it at the supermarket.
40:42It's just plain cotton, but it's got all your favorite dinosaurs on it.
40:44I was thinking I'd use it for your kimono
40:46for the festival this year.
40:48I think this'll be
40:50your Summer Festival Victory Kimono!
40:52Victory!
40:54That's right! Victory, baby!
40:56Yay!
41:24Ah!
41:28They met in secret day and night.
41:30They yearned to be together.
41:32And slowly, very slowly,
41:34Princess Kanna fell in love,
41:36seemingly forgetting
41:38about the terrible curse placed upon her.
41:40Ah!
41:42Even though it meant that her life
41:44would come to an end.
41:46Saruya,
41:48even if my very life
41:50were to shatter into pieces,
41:52each shard would yearn for you
41:54until the end of time.
41:56I
41:58love you.
42:10And so Princess Kanna uttered the words
42:12that would bring the curse down upon her.
42:14It didn't matter how deeply
42:16she loved, or whether she was loved
42:18in return. The words were
42:20forbidden, and would bring nothing but pain
42:22and ruin.
42:28Ha ha ha!
42:30So, I said to that
42:32fisherman guy, I said,
42:34you catch a lot of fish in your nets, but did you know
42:36that it's because a lot of them want to get
42:38caught that they don't want to live anymore?
42:40And his eyes sort of popped, and he said,
42:42there are fish like that out there?
42:44I told him, of course there are.
42:46Lots of creatures have a death wish, you know.
42:48It's not just humans who want to die,
42:50no.
42:52I told him, I figure it's at least 10% of any
42:54population. Human, fish, whatever.
42:56Everybody wants to die, you know.
42:58Ha ha ha!
43:00Everybody. Ha ha ha!
43:02Come on, freeloader,
43:04laugh with me, will ya?
43:08Ha ha ha!
43:10I hear that you're not really her mother.
43:12Ha ha ha!
43:14I found this prescription in one
43:16of the kitchen cabinets.
43:18Huh?
43:20It says, Misuzu Kamio take daily
43:22with meals.
43:24The cabinet was full of them, and everyone was
43:26untouched and unopened.
43:28If she needs medicine, why isn't she taking it?
43:30I don't know.
43:32What kind of answer is that?
43:34Nothing helps, anyway. Not even the doctors
43:36know what's wrong.
43:38The only thing we know for
43:40sure is that she's getting worse
43:42no matter what we try.
43:45Those prescriptions,
43:47they're just tranquilizers and vitamins
43:49to ease our minds.
43:51But she won't take them because she knows they don't work.
43:56I never should have
43:58taken her in the first place.
44:00It's so painful.
44:06Misuzu,
44:08she really seems to like you.
44:10She seems to be smiling
44:12a lot more lately.
44:14More than I've seen in a while, anyway.
44:16Please.
44:20Yukito,
44:22be nice to my girl.
44:24Make her see
44:26how good it is to be alive every day.
44:28Yeah.
44:40The sea must have been
44:42miles and miles away.
44:44But that night,
44:46I could hear the sound of the waves
44:48like I was sleeping right on the beach.
44:54I couldn't help thinking
44:56I may have found
44:58the girl my mother predicted.
45:00The girl who was locked up
45:02and crying
45:04and all alone in the world.
45:06You and you alone
45:08have been given the power
45:10to save her.
45:12Whatever.
45:14It's just a load of garbage.
45:16I don't have any special powers
45:18and even if I did,
45:20you know what I'd do with them?
45:22Nothing.
45:26No.
45:32No, wait.
45:34Sky?
45:44Don't leave me.
45:46Please don't go.
45:56Hey.
45:58Hey.
46:00Which way again?
46:02Wake up, Misuzu.
46:20Are you okay?
46:22My hat.
46:24Can you get it?
46:26Sure.
46:34You sure you're okay?
46:36You felt...
46:38You know, you felt kind of funny back there.
46:40Oh, that?
46:42That's just because I fell asleep
46:44and then I turned around all of a sudden.
46:46If you're that tired,
46:48maybe you should go home and get some rest.
46:50I can't.
46:52Maybe you've got a fever.
46:54You do feel a bit warm.
47:00Really, I'm okay.
47:14Wait.
47:16Isn't that the same school from the other day?
47:18Misuzu.
47:20Stop running.
47:22Take it easy, all right?
47:24Just slow down.
47:28Okay.
47:30I kind of like it whenever
47:32you call me by my name, Yukito.
47:36Something about it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
47:38If you want to,
47:40you can start acting more like my boyfriend.
47:48Let's see.
47:52I guess I'll take a shortcut.
48:06Well, well.
48:08Just what do you think you're doing
48:10out here, young lady?
48:12When I was in the fourth grade,
48:14I buried something under this tree.
48:16Something very precious.
48:18I told myself I would dig it up
48:20when I turned 20.
48:24I'm no good with ages,
48:26but I'd say you're younger than that.
48:28Well, my circumstances
48:30have changed my plans a little.
48:32Yeah.
48:34Besides, they're planning on tearing
48:36the school down pretty soon.
48:38And if they cut down the ginkgo tree,
48:40I won't have my landmark anymore.
48:42Never mind about the tree.
48:44It's just a circumstance thing.
48:46Well...
48:48That's it!
48:58You see, years ago,
49:00I took the mementos of my mother.
49:02Not Haruko, but my real mother.
49:04I took all the pictures and letters and things
49:06and I put them in this tin
49:08and I buried it under this tree.
49:10After my mom died
49:12Aunt Haruko took me in.
49:14It took me a while, you know,
49:16to get used to living with her.
49:18I came to love her.
49:20No, I told myself I had to love her,
49:22even as a kid.
49:24I made up my mind to forget Mother.
49:26It was really hard.
49:28But I knew that she would want me to move on
49:30and not waste away thinking about the past.
49:32I told myself that
49:34when I was all grown up,
49:36if I still wanted to see my mother,
49:38well, I could just dig up the tin
49:40if I wanted to.
49:44But you wanted to see her again
49:46before you were all grown up, didn't you?
49:50I can understand that.
49:52From what I've seen,
49:54your Aunt Haruko,
49:56she hasn't exactly been able to fill the void
49:58that your mother left behind.
50:02But for whatever it's worth,
50:04I'm sure she's trying.
50:07That's not why I'm here.
50:09I just realized that Haruko is my real mother,
50:12and that's why...
50:14that's why...
50:16that's why I don't need these memories of her anymore.
50:20Misuzu...
50:22Besides,
50:24it's all right because I found someone.
50:28I found someone new to love.
50:32I want to be with you, Yukito.
50:36I want to be with you.
50:46Princess Kana!
50:48Princess Kana!
50:50Are you okay? Why were you screaming?
50:52It hurts.
50:54My whole body feels like
50:56it's being stabbed by needles.
50:58She just suddenly began crying in agony.
51:00Feel her skin, Araha.
51:02She's burning up.
51:04I'll be all right.
51:06Please don't worry.
51:08This is just my punishment for speaking those words.
51:10I was expecting this.
51:14There is no greater proof of my love for you than this,
51:16and I'm willing to lose my life for...
51:18for it.
51:34Hey!
51:48Hey, Misuzu!
51:50Misuzu!
51:52She's already gone to sleep.
51:54Did she...
51:56Did she really have a fever earlier today?
51:58Not just a fever.
52:00She threw up a couple of times, too.
52:05Thank you for calling to let me know.
52:07I tried calling you right after lunch.
52:09That was six hours ago.
52:11I know. Thanks again.
52:13You selfish bitch!
52:15You should have come home when I called!
52:18Are you her mom or not?
52:22I can't take this anymore.
52:34Hyah!
52:49Mom?
52:51Are you awake already?
52:54I'm sorry.
52:56What do you have to be sorry about?
52:58Well, for...
53:00for this weird illness, I guess.
53:04Because it's so strange.
53:06It affected everything.
53:08I mean,
53:10I never had any friends, you know?
53:12I think this is the reason.
53:14Don't you see?
53:16When I find somebody I really like,
53:18that's when things start to fall apart.
53:22My body or my head would start aching,
53:26and I'd have trouble breathing,
53:28or get sick to my stomach.
53:30That's why I could never really get close to anyone.
53:34But with you, it was different.
53:36I love you more than anything in the world, Mom.
53:38I'm always thinking about you
53:40and trying to make you proud of me.
53:42When I think about how much I love you,
53:44there's still pain,
53:46but with you, I can bear it.
53:48It's easy to love you.
53:50Misuzu...
53:52You're the one I love most of all.
53:56I don't want you to have to bear the pain.
53:58I don't want you to have to bear the pain from this.
54:00You just go ahead and hate me.
54:02I'd rather have you hate me
54:04than have to watch you hurting like you are right now.
54:06Just think of me as being scum of the earth.
54:08Can you do that for me, honey?
54:10Just think of me that way.
54:12Tell yourself I'm nothing but a good-for-nothing loser, okay?
54:14Because that's exactly what I am.
54:16Oh, come on, Mom.
54:18You know I can't do that.
54:20Misuzu, please try.
54:22Don't worry, Mom. It's okay.
54:24What do you mean, sweetheart?
54:26I mean, I finally made up my mind.
54:28Huh?
54:30You see, I finally realized
54:32that it's much harder to bear heartache
54:34than it is to bear physical pain.
54:36What are you saying?
54:38I am never going to shy away
54:40from caring about all the people I love
54:42ever again.
54:56It started raining again
54:58just before dawn.
55:00I was already having trouble sleeping,
55:02and the rain seemed to be intent
55:04on keeping it that way.
55:10The rain continued
55:12for two full days
55:14until dawn,
55:16the day of the festival.
55:20It was a beautiful day,
55:22but it was a day
55:24with a lot of rain.
55:36Those two days gave me time
55:38to make my final decision.
55:40Would I become the wind
55:42and keep moving,
55:44or just be another wounded traveler?
55:48This decision,
55:50it was big,
55:52but it was wrong.
56:12A low-pressure area
56:14coming in with a typhoon
56:16is approaching.
56:18Heavy rains are expected
56:21You just got something to eat a second ago, huh?
56:23You're not being sneaky
56:25when you slam the refrigerator door like that.
56:27Well, I was kind of hungry,
56:29so I thought it would be fun.
56:31Isn't it about time you headed to work
56:33at the fish market or something?
56:35With heavy rains and a typhoon,
56:37they're not going to need me
56:39to work for a while.
56:41Besides, Misuzu's still running a fever.
56:43Yukito?
56:45I thought I might have heard
56:47your voice out here.
56:49Don't worry, Misuzu.
56:51You should get back to bed.
56:53Hey! It's good to see you.
56:55Hey.
56:57Come here.
56:59Come in my room.
57:01I want to talk to you alone.
57:05Sorry, Mom,
57:07but I'm kicking you out.
57:13Misuzu,
57:15you're still running a fever, aren't you?
57:17Ta-da!
57:19Found it! Here you go.
57:21I wanted you to have this, Yukito.
57:23What is it, exactly?
57:25It's a keychain with a dinosaur on it.
57:27It's always been my favorite thing in my whole collection.
57:29That thing? Are you serious?
57:31Yeah, since I was just a little girl.
57:33And this. Take this, too.
57:35Here. It's called the Easy to Learn Dinosaur Book.
57:37If you take the time to study it,
57:39you'll be a dinosaur expert
57:41in three shakes of a triceratops tail.
57:43Where did you ever get the idea
57:45that you wanted to be some big-shot expert
57:47on dinosaurs?
57:51Would you
57:53kiss me, please?
57:59Oh, it's okay, Yukito.
58:01Someday you'll want to,
58:03and then...
58:05you'll see what I see.
58:07Ta-da!
58:09How about some...
58:11What the heck's going on in here?
58:13Okay, I guess you're just
58:15seriously playing some cards, then.
58:17You want some juice?
58:19You know, it can't be very good for her
58:21to sleep that much.
58:29The rain continued
58:31hour after hour.
