We're still not there?
Just a little more!
Stop!
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Come on. Say sorry.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Bound for Tokyo and Shinagawa
The next station is Ebisu
Bye-bye!
It's okay...
Crossing at Twilight 2
It was really amazing!
Like a festival!
Did you go to Odaiba with your boyfriend?
Yeah, but Himura was nagging me to go book a hotel room the whole time.
That's so gross!
And did you go?
Of course not!
It's not my fault...
What should I do?
Nothing. They've always been like that.
But...
Ugh, that sounds bad.
Her boyfriend holding hands with his old crush of all people...
She didn't come to the meeting place,
she's not picking up her phone, and she's not replying to my texts either.
What the hell's going on?!
Is this hotel really in reception range?!
I bet I've already missed a dozen calls!
That hurt...
The hell are you doing?
That's my line!
What do you think you're doing?!
A man whining over his bloody phone?!
I'll... try going to her place.
You can't get out through the front. The teacher's watching too.
Then how about the emergency stairs?
You should get out through the parking lot from there.
Okay, then just in case, I'll distract the teacher!
Sounds like a perfect plan to me!
You're gonna help me?
Well, if there's something in it for me, maybe I'll help.
I want something to drink!
I want ice cream!
The Häagen-Dazs green tea flavor special!
You have until 10 PM, which is when the teacher will come to check if we're sleeping.
Go and make up with her!
I sure as hell don't want to leave like this!
I don't care how mad she is,
I don't care how much she'll hate me,
I want to see her.
I want to see her...
I want to see her!
I guess they've met by now. Haruto and Yuzuki, I mean.
Yeah, I guess.
Those two are kinda bound by the red string of fate.
Gee, that's so out of character coming from you. Creepy!
Shut up!
You? Talking about the red string of fate?
Oh Takashi! Whatever, just get me that for a moment.
Eba
I'm out of my mind. What am I doing?
Haruto?!
I'm so surprised!
I almost called the police on this creepy guy hanging around my house!
We're here on a school trip now. Would you call her for me?
I forgot my phone.
I met my sister earlier on my way home.
Where did she go?
How should I know?
I have no idea what goes on in her mind.
What if she has a boyfriend and she's going on a date?
Long-distance relationships don't last long.
I believe in her!
Sure, feel free to...
But please call her!
You're worrying too much.
Don't worry. She'll come back eventually.
I wouldn't mind if she didn't, though.
Isn't she always like this?
She charms the pants off you by acting like a klutz.
She's just trying to catch your fancy.
Just watching that pisses me off.
What are you talking about? She's—
Just watching you pisses me off too.
How long are you going to stand there?
I'll call the police about our stalker problem.
The Tokyo night...
It's so bright, but I can't find her.
Just give up.
We don't have time either, so let's hurry back.
Yeah...
Have you heard the meeting place changed?
You're worrying too much.
Don't worry. She'll come back eventually.
No chance!
Yeah right!
I wouldn't mind if she didn't, though.
I'm from Tokyo. My name is Eba Yuzuki.
Nice to meet you!
Why would you come to some high school at the ends of the Earth?
Your parents must've been worried too.
Yes, but it's my father's homeland, and it's okay if I stay at a friend's place.
And you're really beautiful too!
After she came to Hiroshima, Eba was trying to find her place.
Thank you!
I can't!
I can't do anything if you're not around!
But I didn't realize at all.
I'm not getting on.
What?!
I'm going back with you.
I don't want to go to Tokyo.
She was just being stubborn...
I chased my sister off.
I don't consider her my sister, though.
She just endured...
Hello?
Where are you, Eba?
Right...
behind you...
She just forced herself to smile.
My father remarried.
Rin and my brother are Mother's children.
That's why our relationship is kinda... strained.
But we're family...
I'm telling you I'm your family too.
But if it's hard on you, let it show on your face.
Then I'll help you if I can.
But I must be there for her...
At the very least, I must be a steady, safe point in her life.
Yet...
You're late!
I texted you to say I was going to meet you,
but you forgot your phone...
I even went to your hotel! I spent so much time looking for you!
I kinda know what happened with Nanami.
But seeing that anyone would think—
I wanted to see you.
I wanted to see you so badly.
I wanted to see you all this time.
This isn't fair.
I'm glad we could meet in the end.
I was going to go home if you didn't come in five minutes.
I see...
What's wrong?
It's just...
Haruto?
I'm sorry.
I promised I'd never make you sad...
But then I let you see that...
I'm really...
...really sorry.
It's okay.
But...
Don't waste time on that.
I want to talk to you about other stuff too.
I'm sorry, Eba.
I'm stupid, insensitive, and I fail at being straightforward.
So beautiful!
By the way...
Hm?
Why would you come to this city?
It ain't something you just decide on a whim.
Usually people don't want to leave Tokyo for a countryside school.
I've been to this town just once, a long time ago.
I really liked it back then.
That's all?
Yeah.
That's weird!
Not at all!
No, it really—
Does it matter?
Just leave it at that.
I'm stupid, insensitive, and I fail at being straightforward.
I think from the moment we met...
I've loved you.
I think from the moment we met...
All this time.
I've loved you for such a long time.
Mom, buy that!
Thanks, Akari!
Hey, Satoshi, wait!
Hey!
Are you lost?
What's your name?
I can't tell you.
Why?
I don't want to go home.
What? Why?
I didn't want to come here at all!
Hey, don't cry!
I've no choice, huh?
I'll show you a nice place.
A nice place?
Is this the nice place?
Yeah.
You know, flowers bloom on the lake once a year.
But there are no flowers...
There it is!
How is it?
They're on the lake too, aren't they?
They're huge!
So beautiful!
Thank you!
You finally smiled.
Do you like the town now?
Yeah!
Then don't cry.
But something bad happened to me.
But now I feel like it'll be okay!
I see.
Then if something happens, just come again!
Can I?
Sure.
Promise.
Sure.
It's a promise.
Here, it's yours.
I couldn't get you anything for your birthday.
Darn, I got you something too!
I left it at the hotel.
Don't worry about it.
But it's not right for a boyfriend to just take...
It's about time.
Don't go back to Tokyo.
Don't go back, and just stay here with me.
I can't.
Feelings change.
But...
They really do.
You loved Nanami so much until just recently.
Feelings change.
I can't handle a long-distance relationship.
Then it doesn't have to be long-distance!
If you're so worried...
I'll go to Tokyo too!
Don't be stupid.
Even if you did, it wouldn't be easier.
Actually, I was really happy
that you said you want to go out with me,
that you said you'd come to Tokyo...
I...
I want to stay with you.
This isn't enough.
You...
You must go.
This is goodbye, then. Say hi to the others for me.
Yeah.
The more you look forward to meeting someone,
the tougher it will be to say goodbye.
Something wrong?
No...
It's just really tough...
Over the distance...
Then should we break up?
Don't even joke about that!
Take care, Haruto.
See you later.
I'll...
I'll come to meet you again.
It's a promise.
Yeah. It's a promise.
This!
This Amami restaurant's rice omelet was super great!
It looks delicious!
And the waitress was friggin' hot too!
I want to see her again!
Then go to Tokyo alone!
I will! Haruto, you will too, right?
Yeah, I will.
You weren't listening, were you?
No, I was.
Nanami, you say something too!
But that's... Um... You know...
For a while we'll be far apart,
Haruto's going nuts.
but we'll be fine for sure.
His head is just full of Yuzuki.
Our hearts are connected, bridging time and space.
Our long distance relationship
just begun.
Rushing to me at the crossing at twilight
That feeling that I want to see you
Like the clouds swimming in the sky
Meeting, melting and disappearing
For a while we've been ignoring each other
But to be honest I'm still
seeking only you
My wish to see you
is eternally painted in the sky
See, today again it's all so
dazzling and lovely
Standing in a sunny place,
like a blooming sunflower,
I keep looking at my shining love.
