This work of fiction surrounding the circ- umstances of a massive earthquake
in Tokyo is based on tremendous amounts of research and verification.
Striving for a sense of realism, many simulations
were thought of to create this original story,
however, circumstances may be different to the real thing.
All these terrible things every day...
The world should just break.
Mirai, I need to go to the toilet.
Yuuki!
B r e a k i n g W o r l d
Are you okay?
Hang in there! Can you stand?
Gently! Gently!
The ground's uneven, so be careful!
The world should just break.
What am I going to do?
Don't just stand there!
Yu-Yuuki...!
Have you seen... Have you seen a little boy?
He must still be in the toilet.
Yuuki?
Yuuki!
The exit is just ahead!
Please move along carefully and do not rush!
You there! Come back!
It's dangerous over there!
You there, little girl! Come back!
You can't go there.
There's a fire because of the earthquake.
Evacuate to the west side.
B-But I'm...
It's an earthquake.
That was close, huh?
I came just in time.
Thank you...
I met you earlier.
Can you stand?
Are you alone? Where's your brother?
I let him go to the toilet by himself...
What about your mom and dad?
I came only with my brother.
I have to find him.
You're a good sister.
I let him...
go to the toilet... by himself...
Did you check the toilets?
Yes, but he wasn't there...
What's his name?
Your brother's name.
Yuuki.
Yuuki?
Yuuki!
Let's look for your brother!
Yuuki!
Yuuki?
They're hurt...
Yeah.
It was a huge earthquake.
Yuuki...
Excuse me.
Have you seen a little boy?
He's around seven to eight years old.
I did see a few little boys,
but they were all with their parents.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
It's okay. Thank you.
Excuse me, have you seen a little boy?
He's around this height and he's about seven to eight years old.
He's wearing a yellow-green shirt with a line across its chest.
He's my brother!
Sorry, I'm not sure.
I saw a few boys by themselves at the toy store on the first floor.
Really?
Thank you!
Wait!
Let's look for a different set of stairs.
This one's dangerous.
No! Come back!
Wait!
Come on.
Hey, big sister.
I'm begging you, don't be that reckless again.
You know it's dangerous, right?
But Yuuki's at the toy store!
I know. But it'll be pointless if you get hurt too!
Me too? You don't know if Yuuki's hurt or not!
No! It's dangerous to go that way!
Wait!
No! Let me go!
I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said it that way.
Your brother is fine. He's fine.
I'll look for him too, so don't be reckless.
Yuuki!
Just a bit more to go, okay?
All right! One, two...!
Yuuki?
Yuuki!
Are you all okay?
Are any of you hurt?
We're okay. It's dangerous here, so you should evacuate.
We're looking for a little boy.
He's wearing a yellow-green shi...
We passed through looking for people and this child was the last one.
The other one is already...
Yuuki! Where are you?
Answer me, Yuuki!
Yuuki! Yuuki!
Big sister,
let's go outside.
It's dangerous here. We should leave before the smoke...
No!
Go by yourself!
I can't leave Yuuki behind!
Then think about it!
How would you survive?
I'm sure Yuuki would have evacuated if he was alive.
That's why you can't die!
You're going to live and find him, right?
Yuuki!
Oh, buy me a drink too!
A drink!
Wait!
Where are you going?
Just let me look for him here!
Come on.
Is someone there?
Help! I'm right here!
Please help me!
We-We're coming now!
Mirai?
Is that you, Mirai?
Yuuki?
Mirai!
Yuuki!
Are you hurt?
I'm okay.
Hold on, okay? We're going to get you out now!
Okay!
Take that side.
Okay!
Mirai!
Yuuki!
Yuuki! I'm so glad you're okay!
So glad!
Mirai!
It's raining...
Yeah.
Are we going to wait for it to stop?
It's dangerous here. We should move.
Fires?
Yeah.
Yuuki.
We can take shelter from the rain here.
Yeah.
I'm glad you're okay.
Yeah.
Calling
Home
It's not getting through?
Yeah.
No luck on this side either.
The foundation probably got hit.
I repeat:
Four hours ago, at around 1546h, a massive earthquake hit the center of the Kanto region.
The epicenter of the earthquake was at the northern part of Tokyo Bay,
at a depth of approximately 25 km below sea level.
Its magnitude is estimated to be 8.0 on the Richter scale.
Magnitude 8?
Please be very careful of aftershocks and tsunamis.
Here, let's watch it together.
You can use your phone?
All transportation service operations will be suspended.
According to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency,
large-scale fires have broken out all over the downtown area.
Civilians escaping...
I wonder if dad and mom are okay?
Where's your home?
Near Kinuda Park.
Oh, in Seijo?
I live in Sangenjaya.
Man, it's not getting through!
I guess only 1seg works.
Let's see how things are for a while longer.
I'll help you figure out a way to get home.
Why are you so nice to us?
I'm not sure... Because I'm a person, I guess?
Your sister was really desperate to find you, you know.
You have a nice sister.
Yeah. Thank you!
You need to go home and give that to your mom.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, you haven't told me your name yet.
I'm Kusakabe Mari.
You're Yuuki, and...
Onozawa Mirai.
Mirai, huh? That's a nice name.
I don't like it too much.
I like your name.
I see.
Are you in middle school?
First year, middle school.
What about you?
Third year, elementary school.
You must get along well to be going out together.
Not really.
This happened because of her.
My mom's always working,
so she told us to go by ourselves.
That really hits home.
I live with my mom and daughter.
I'm always working, so I can't even allot any time for her.
You know,
she loves the swing, so she wants to work hard and move into a house that has one.
But before I realize it, she may reach an age where she won't even get on a swing.
I know.
I'm going to get some stuff.
I parked my bike nearby.
She might not come back.
She's not coming back.
She went home.
She has no obligation to look after us.
It's all right.
It's an aftershock.
They occur after a huge earthquake.
It was a small one,
so this place is probably fine.
By the way, are you two hungry?
I have cake!
Well, it should still taste the same.
Hina
For a birthday?
Yeah, today is my daughter's birthday.
She turned four.
Her name's Hina.
Yeah. Here you go.
Thank you.
It's good!
It looks terrible, though.
But it's round.
Birthday cakes should be round.
Yeah.
Hina
What am I going to do now?
Yeah...
You should rest for now.
I'm sure tomorrow's going to be a busy day.
