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.
Huh? Mirai?
Let's go.
Yeah.
You've got shoes on now.
Nice, aren't they?
I changed into my sneakers.
Yuuki, it's pretty early in the morning, but are you okay?
I'm fine, but I don't think you are.
Well, you're the Great Sleepy King!
You sleep in until noon.
You know that's not true! I have school!
Hey, wait!
C h o i c e t o A b a n d o n
Walking down this street will lead us to Azabu Juuban.
It's close to the place where I work.
I sometimes go there too. Like to the ningyou-yaki store.
That place? I go there often too.
All their cakes are good, huh?
We might have met even without the earthquake.
You and Mirai would meet at the ningyou-yaki store, right?
Then you and I could've been friends.
Maybe.
I'm sure we would have.
It's broken.
Yeah.
We should pass under it quickly.
Okay.
I was told that they built this place between the time my aunt left and came back from her school trip.
No way!
It's true!
They couldn't have finished it in three days and two nights!
First is the status of the fires at Sangenjaya.
According to the news we have received,
fires have broken out in areas around Setagayaku and the Sangenjaya station shortly after the main earthquake occurred.
Isn't Sangenjaya...?
It's where Mari lives.
My home's pretty far from the station though.
Pick up!
Damn!
It's not working.
Next is the weather.
This is the area in Arakaha where all the weirs broke down.
Due to the effects of the typhoon...
The dock model, belonging to America's 7th Naval Fleet, is now currently in Tokyo Bay...
What about Sangenjaya?
I know!
Hello!
Is anyone there?
I thought this place would be fine...
You know, I think it'd be better if you got home quickly.
You can leave us behind.
I can't do that!
Sorry. I'll try my office.
I wonder if Hina is okay...
Yeah...
Come on.
Come over here, you two!
It's over?
Yeah.
Thank you, Mari.
It's not working.
Um, Mari, if there's anything we can do...
Yeah, thanks.
Hina...
Mari!
What's wrong, Mari?
Mirai!
Shh! Someone's here!
What was that sound?
Come here, Yuuki!
What? Wait, who is that?
Don't!
Mari! Wake up!
Mari!
Mari?
Mari! What's wrong?
Mari!
No... What should I do?
Hina!
It's snack time.
Coming!
Hina! Mom!
Hina!
Mom!
Mom! Help me! Mom!
Hina! Mom!
Hina!
Mari! Mari! Mari!
Mari?
Aya?
Thank goodness!
You really had me worrying, you know!
How do you feel?
Aya, where are the children?
They said they were going out for a bit and left.
Leaving by themselves...
Mari, you shouldn't.
Mari!
Geez, you should rest!
I'm fine.
It's just anemia.
You know those kids?
We met at Odaiba right after the earthquake.
Our homes are in the same direction, so we were going back together.
Where did they say they were going?
I don't know.
They didn't say.
I see.
At around 1205h today, an unusually strong aftershock occurred.
Specific details on the damage have yet to come in.
Please stay away from buildings that look damaged, highways that have caved in, and roads with fissures.
Buildings and roads you see that...
Thanks a lot, Aya.
No, it was nothing.
Were you here the whole time?
Yeah, I couldn't get in contact with everyone out on deliveries,
so I thought I'd clean up and wait.
You're a good person.
No, that's not true at all!
You know, I live alone and it'd be tough to get back home.
Plus, this place is safer than my rundown apartment.
Hey, Aya.
Sorry, but do you know anything about Sangenjaya?
There's a fire, right?
I just heard a bit about it on the news.
I see. I guess so.
Sorry.
It's okay. I'm sure you're worried.
I was sure that Hina would be fine with her grandma until I heard about the fire.
I tried to think that way, but...
Please be sure to stay away from the coast and riverbanks. I repeat...
No one's reporting on Sangenjaya.
Oh, right!
...increasing by each announcement.
Next, damage due to the collapse of the Tokyo Tower has magnified.
Mari?
Hina liked being photographed.
When they smile like that, whoever has the camera wants to take a lot of pictures.
You know, you don't need to carry all the burden.
Hina only has you,
and you're worried about her too, right?
So I'll look after those kids!
You should go back to her now!
You can get back faster by yourself.
I think it'd be better if you got home quickly.
Next, we'll be at the scene of the fire in Sangenjaya.
Immediately after the earthquake, a fire broke out in the area around the Sangenjaya station...
Mari!
It's on TV too.
The extent of the fire's damage around the Sangenjaya station...
The fire is spreading...
Mari, I'm sure the bike store you go to will lend you one!
I'll go borrow one for you, so you should go home.
Aya?
Are you okay?
Yeah... Mari! You're bleeding!
Someone! Help!
Are you okay? Hang in there!
Mari! Where are you going?
To find those two.
I'll look for them!
You should go back to Hina!
Aya.
Wait here in the office.
They might come back.
Mirai! Yuuki!
Mirai!
Yuuki!
Where did they go?
Sorry!
Couldn't keep up?
You can go ahead if you want!
I'm just slow!
I invited you though!
I invited you! I can't leave you behind!
Why am I remembering that now?
That's right.
I can't leave them.
Hey, Mirai, do you think this bike's fast?
Who knows?
It's better than walking though.
I want to go see Mari after we get home.
Yeah.
Hey! Idiot! No, no, no!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Let's get this to Mari.
Yeah.
One, two...!
Mari!
Sweating a bit much, aren't we?
We borrowed this for you.
You can go home right away with this.
Thank you.
Sorry, I worried you.
But let's go return this.
Why? You can go home faster!
Well, we can't go home together on a bike, right?
Take care on your way home.
Well, I guess you'll be okay.
Mari's with you.
I'll be here for a bit longer.
If anything happens, come by again.
You two, as well.
Well, there won't be a welcoming party though.
Looks like it's going to rain.
Are you sure about this, Mari?
Yeah. I'm sure Hina is fine.
My mom's with her.
You're right. I'm sure she is.
