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.
Due to the repeated occurrences of aftershocks, collapsing buildings,
and secondary disasters, there are fears of further damage.
Because the situation does not allow for us to do anything...
Yuuki, do you think you'll throw up?
No.
What? Do you feel sick?
What?
Mirai...
You know...
M i r a i , y o u k n o w . . .
What?
You know...
What's wrong? Tell me.
You know... If I were...
If I were dead... what would you do?
Are you stupid?
Don't say something so silly.
If you were dead, mom and dad would probably cry to death.
I would too.
So don't talk about dying and stuff anymore.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I know!
When we get home, let's tell mom and dad everything we went through.
I'll tell them you were really strong.
I'll tell them you were too!
We'll give mom her birthday present too.
And we'll tell her that you chose it.
We'll be home soon now.
Yeah.
Hey, Yuuki.
Summer's just begun, so let's play when things have calmed down, okay?
I couldn't play last year or the year before because I had to study.
Yeah!
Back then, I used to consider you lucky since you didn't have exams.
But you were probably bored since we couldn't take you anywhere, right?
No, I was playing with Itsuki.
Plus, I was happy that you drew pictures of frogs for me sometimes.
Those ugly ones?
They weren't ugly!
They were!
They're cute!
You're weird.
Look, Yuuki! A horse!
You're right!
Touch it gently.
Let's go again someday.
Okay.
Yuuki, we're almost there.
Yeah.
Isn't that where your friend lives?
Yeah.
Kazu's house.
I wonder if our house is okay.
Mirai?
Hey!
Mayu!
Mirai! You're safe!
You too!
I'm so glad!
Mayu...
Huh? Hey, hold it!
Come on, Mayu!
Stop playing around!
But I couldn't call you at all!
I asked your mom and she said she didn't know where you two were.
You met my mom?
I met her at the elementary school shelter.
She was able to contact your dad,
but she said she let you and Yuuki go to Odaiba by yourselves,
and that she couldn't reach you.
I see...
My mom and dad are okay...
Yeah. Your dad got hurt at his office, but it wasn't serious.
Your mom was really worried about you two.
Thanks for telling me.
Is everyone in your family safe?
Yeah, we're fine.
We were all at home.
My mom's in her last month of pregnancy though, so she's coming here just in case.
I'm glad you're all safe.
Yeah...
I haven't been able to contact Yuka yet though.
I don't know how everyone in our class is either.
I saw Megu the other day.
Her mom passed away though...
I wonder what's going to happen now.
Will school start up again?
Oh yeah, what about your brother?
Huh? He was just here!
I see.
Well, I'm just glad you're okay!
You should go see your mom at the school.
Yeah.
I'll come see you when things have calmed down!
You little...!
Hold it, you brats!
Yuuki! Stop running!
Yuuki!
Just how far are you going to run?
To the school!
Yuuki!
Hold on!
Itsuki!
The phone alien!
That's not right. My name's Mirai.
Mirai.
Right.
Hey, Itsuki.
Have you seen Yuuki?
He just went through the gate.
Yuuki? He's here?
Yeah.
I heard that my mom's here.
He probably went to the gym then.
Yuuki's mom and everyone else are in there.
Is everyone in your family safe?
Yeah, the house is a wreck though.
Really?
Yeah.
Where's my mom?
Over there.
She's gone.
Mom!
Where's Yuuki's mom?
Huh? Why?
She just went back home to get some spare clothes.
Your dad's supposedly hospitalized.
Hospitalized?
Ah, his injury wasn't serious though, so he should be okay.
Your mom was really worried about you,
so you should show her that you're okay.
I think you'll be able to catch up to her.
You should try.
Okay.
I'll go home once I find Yuuki.
Thank you.
Yuuki!
The only place left is the school grounds.
Feels like it's been a long time since you guys planted that.
Perhaps Yuuki will come back if you wait for him here.
Maybe.
Yuuki...
Yuuki?
Yuuki!
Damn him!
Wait!
I wanted to give Yuuki the marronier journal.
Marronier journal?
Yeah, it's an observation journal.
It was his turn to write in it.
You guys were doing that?
Yeah, we started it when Yuuki brought up the idea.
Yuuki!
Hey, Yuuki!
Why'd you go off by yourself like that?
I've been looking for you!
Yeah...
Sorry, Mirai.
Yuuki?
You found him?
Yuuki, stop giving Itsuki...
Perhaps he's in the washroom.
It's dirty there. Makes you sick.
This is our classroom.
This is my seat.
And this is Yuuki's.
They're so tiny!
Were the desks and chairs this small?
And he doodled so much.
That Yuuki...
This is where we put up the drawings from art class!
See?
That's Yuuki's drawing.
"In my first year of elementary school, I crossed the bridge in Odaiba with my family."
"It was fun."
"Onozawa Yuuki."
Yuuki...
Yuuki said he wanted to go there with everyone again.
"I wanted to go to Odaiba because I wanted all of us to see the bridge."
Huh? Why am I...?
Mirai?
That's strange. I wonder what's wrong?
Uh... I'll go find Yuuki!
Why? Why are tears coming out?
Yuuki...!
Why?
Mirai, don't cry.
I'm right here.
Yuuki...
I'll be very angry if you go off by yourself again!
Kids these days are really good at writing.
Can you tell which one's mine?
Let's see...
Ah, this one!
Right!
Good, isn't it?
It's too big!
You really wrote it with all you had though, huh?
I can tell.
I'm your sister after all.
Yeah, that's because I love your name!
Yuuki wasn't in the washroom.
Yeah, sorry. Yuuki is right...
Huh? He was just here.
Geez, he's never been able to stay still.
He's always wandering off and getting lost...
Sorry.
I'll go get the marronier journal.
My house's nearby.
Ah, hold on. We'll go too.
We were going to go look for our mom.
Ah, but...
I'm sorry.
I'm fine now.
Let's go.
Okay.
Itsuki!
You can give me the journal some other time!
It's dangerous, so come on out!
I came here this morning, so it's okay!
Where's Yuuki?
Mirai!
Let's go get Itsuki!
No, Yuuki! Come back!
Itsuki! Forget about it and come down!
Just a bit more!
Got it!
Here you go.
Give it to Yuuki for me.
Sure.
"July 20th."
"I planted a marronier with Itsuki today."
"Mirai calls the marronier 'macaroni'."
"I think it's because she's a pig."
What's with this?
It's all lies.
Thanks, Itsuki.
I'll make sure to give it to Yuuki.
Okay.
Yuuki...
Geez, where were you?
You were the one who said we should get Itsuki!
What were you doing?
Come on, let's go home.
Let's go, Itsuki.
You're going back to the shelter, right?
Yeah.
Itsuki! Over here!
Yuuki!
Itsuki!
Are you okay?
Yeah...
Yuuki-
Mirai.
Yuuki...
I'm sorry.
Yuuki...
Mirai, you know...
I...
Yuuki?
I'm...
I'm dead.
