She was hit by an on-coming car
She suffered great injuries from the knock
There may be some damage to her lungs or abdomen
Blood pressure 110
Prepare for an operation
Yes
Going in soon
Please save her
She is the only one in this world...
You still dare to ask me why!
Who will chase after me
She is the only one who will laugh for me
Cry for me
And the only one who will hug me
Electric operating scissors Yes
Bandage, Scalper Yes
Prepare the blood transfusion machine Yes
Draw out the clotted blood carefully
Yes
Increase the blood absorbtion level
Yes, increase the blood absorbtion level
Please save her
Please save us
My prayers now
are the same as that day
Please come and save her
I cannot do anything else besides praying
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
Saku
I will like to look at the sky
If this is the end of my life
I will like to look at the world's...
the brightest sky
If this is the end of my life
I will like to look at the world's brightest sky
Good morning
Today...
after a while...
the bandages can be removed
One week...
I will try to recover my strength
If possible
I will like to take this time to go to Honolu
to look at Honolu's sky
Aki
Have you given up hope of living already?
When you are not able to deny the fact that death is nearing,
having dreams about death
is this considered giving up?
Must I think about living on even at the end?
I don't know
I don't know too
All of these does not matter anymore
Let's go to Honolu for our honeymoon
I... am dying soon
Excuse me, I will like to ask
if I can purchase air-tickets to Australia within a week
Do you want to be on the reserve list for canceled seats
I know now
May I know how much will the tickets cost?
Four Hundred Thousand
Mum
I will like to look at everyone
Aki, have you grown thinner?
Because the treatment process is very tiring
Are you all right?
You have become such a state
Aki
It will grow long soon
Hirose
It's the same
Were these taken by Saku?
No wonder he did not come to school He was busy taking photos!
That's good
I will like to be loved so deeply too
You cannot force such things
Why?
What are you doing?
I will not get angry, just be honest with me
You are angry now
Why do you need so much money?
Saku
I am sorry
Please, help yourself
Thank you, I am always bothering teacher
Don't mention it
Teacher
Can I make a rash request?
What kind of request?
I will like Teacher to give me lessons
I will not be able to step into a classroom anymore
What kind of rubbish are you talking about?
Finally, its time to knock off
Old records, grass
You have not been attending classes, can you follow?.
I will try my best
Then I will start reading now
The most valuable thing in this world is love for someone
Not only man, woman loves it even more
Silence means consent, meaning of course
Even more so means a more positive meaning than simply yes
The existence of it seems insignificant,
But lives deeply in people's hearts
People in the past...
Miss, please listen to me
Okay, please speak
To be honest with you,
I think my parents eloped and got married
My mother passed away a while back
But none of my mother's relatives attended her funeral
I don't know if my mother is satisfied with such a funeral
Choosing love over losing one's family and relatives,
Is love really that great to let people do this?
How is Hirose?
I hope she will recover soon
I will tell her what you said
Mr photographer, you are here today
Are you feeling fine?
Saku, are you also going to the hospital to visit today?
I will accompany you there
If I go, she will smile more
I would like to buy a hat for Aki
What color does she like?
Blue
You pay for it
Am I only the one paying?
I paid for it last time
I think Aki will be very happy
One thousand five hundred dollars
Three persons?
No, you will pay alone
Why?
Saku
Can you help me develop another
set of the photos we took the last time?
Sure
My parents will like to have a set too
Have you bought your ticket?
Aki, is this okay?
There must be a lot of people that you want to see
A lot of people want to see you too
Everyone will like to see you for 1 more day
But...
I have no more time left
Aki said she wants to go to Honolu
Is this really the best thing to do?
I do not know what to do anymore
Because there are still so many people who are concerned about Aki
If you have some doubts, I advise you to give up the idea
If something bad happens,
a lot of people may blame you
You will most likely think in the same way too
Did I say anything wrong?
Hirose
Teacher
As for attending classes,
I think since I must attend,
I'll go for the lesson that you're most interested in
What is it that you want to know the most now?.
I...
For what reasons must I die?
That should be left for those people who are still alive to understand
to see what it is like to be alive
How did Aki Hirose go through her life?
Grandpa
what should I do?
Sakutarou
This is the money Grandpa left for you
Discuss with Grandpa before using the money
This is what your mother said
Thank you
Quantas Airline
You are setting out on your birthday
That day does not seem to be welcomed
Aki
Aki, you...
really really want to go?
If...
you cannot say goodbye to everyone,
will you regret it?
I know
Saku
Sorry
I am always so spoiled
It's all right
Can I say another impulsive wish?
Dad and Mum are not at home...
Delicious!
Dad, Why do you like crab butter biscuit?
Have you forgotten?
It's not me, its you who likes it
When you're in kindergarden,
after exchanging the biscuits with your friends,
you said that the biscuits in our home are not sticky
Losing out to others
So this is what its all about
How was I like as a kid?
Stubborn, refuse to acknowledge defeat
Strong cry-baby
You cried so loudly when you were born
Everyone was asking me if you were a boy!
You learned how to crawl and walk very quickly
This should be everything
Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me
in a room filled with Aki's images
only the main lead, Aki, is not around
Is this a scene from the future for me?
Nothing has changed
A world without Aki
A world that was born following Aki's death
No matter whether its one person's pain
or responsibility on one's shoulders
there is still one person facing death's horrors
I must overcome all these...
I only wish...
the two of us can go and see the sky together
Aki
Let us go to Honolu
Let us go and watch the sky together
Thank you
Saku
Take this
I don't know what you are up to
but don't forget you are only seventeen years old
If something happens,
your parents must take up half the responsibility
Don't do anything ridiculous
Good morning!
Good morning to you!
Sorry
Please
Excuse me, thank you
Aki
Thank you
Please drive
Okay
What is all this about?
She is committing suicide by leaving like this
I will go make a call
Wait
Dad, Mum
Sorry
I do not know if this is an act of committing suicide
but...
I am your stubborn daughter who refuses
to acknowledge defeat and a strong cry-baby
My last impulsive act
Even if I am fated to die of leukemia
but I do not want leukemia
to destroy my seventeen years of life
I must...
have been to want to live on and to be borne
even till the end, I still hope so
I want to go and see the blue sky
Excuse my impulsiveness
Is this suicide?
Should be said that she is in her rebellious stage
I think so too
I forgot
Aki
What if something bad happens?
Because...
I do not want to give you anymore trouble
What if I... die?
I will carry you back
I may be too heavy
It doesn't matter
I may start to smell
as long as its Aki's original look
You ask me why we are going during winter
I hate to lose to the rain
I like you, Saku
I remembered on your birthday
2nd of July...
When I was born,
You already existed in this world
I have been waiting
for a world without Saku
waiting for the birth of Saku
Aki
Haven't you been waiting for only three months?
You alone...
Isn't this too cunning?
I will be all alone in the future
Because I run very fast
Where do you want to end up by running so fast?
Did you say that the other world does not exist?
Heaven...
Don't go
I am all right
Then I will go to settle the boarding procedures
Are you boarding the plane today?
Fine
Saku
Please be careful
Aki
Are you all right
Let's go back
I want to go
But...
I will like to go
Saku
Where should we head to?
Plane Boarding Door
I want to walk...
I want to walk by myself
Let's go
Keep it up
Aki?
Aki!
Saku
Truly,
The other world does not exist
Heaven...
does not exist too
Don't say anymore
Here...
Because this is Heaven
I like you, Saku
For the past few years of my life,
There is not a single day when Aki does not exist
Save... her...
Please save her
