"About Love"
I continue wishing to see you
Today we'll go on a journey
That's as endless as the blue sky
With joy, sorrow and hope come setbacks
They repeat, they repeat
What should I believe?
You know nothing about love, however
Someday you will feel warmth inside
I dream of the day when you'll speak of love
Tomorrow, our journey will begin

Episode 23: Both of their Wishes
After leaving Paris, we worked in a grape vineyard.
We picked grapes for making wine.
It was Mattia who rescued me from the mine when I got trapped.
Mattia is always protecting me.
Hey!
Quit slacking off!
Don't just stand here!
All right. Let's take a break.
Oh... I'm tired.
Traveling performers!
Come and watch our performance! It'll be fun!
We'll be waiting!
Mattia!
Huh?
Let's go.
This bread is really good.
Mattia?
What's wrong? You haven't eaten your lunch.
I don't want it.
You've been acting a bit strange lately.
No, I haven't. - Did something happen?
I want to be a violinist.
Huh?
My dad earned money playing his violin.
So I grew up listening to my dad's violin.
My dad told me I had talent and let me practice.
I loved playing the violin with my dad.
It was the best time ever.
When my dad died, I couldn't play it anymore.
I had to make a living, so I didn't even think about playing the violin
while I was at the orphanage or with the circus or Gaspard.
But...
Since you gave me that violin, it's all I can think about.
I love that violin. I want to practice more so I can play it better.
I want to become a violinist like my dad.
But...
I can't do that if I keep staying at Gaspard's place. It's impossible.
I heard that this lake makes people's wishes come true.
A long time ago, the rivers and wells in this village had gone dry.
The suffering people prayed for help,
then an angel, Michael, came down from the sky and filled the lake with water.
Since then, this lake has never gone dry.
So they say if you pray at this lake, your wish will come true.
It's just a myth, isn't it? - Could be.
But if it is true, then I wish for you to become a violinist.
Remy...
And I wish for you to find your real mother.
My mother?
This is Groussinou Avenue.
Remy lives at Gaspard's house.
Hey you!
Go away!
Remy lives in a place like this?
Hello, is Mr. Gaspard here?
I'll finally get to see Remy. - Who is it?
Hello. - Who are you?
I'm Blair, a lawyer.
What's a lawyer doing here?
We heard that a girl named Remy lives here.
Who are you guys?
I'm Mary, I work for the Milligan family.
Say she's here, what do you want with her?
She's here, isn't she? And Mr. Vitalis too, right?
Vitalis?
No... He's dead.
Oh no...
Then what about Miss Remy?
Miss Remy?
Why don't you come in?
That's why we're looking for Miss Remy.
I understand your situation.
But Remy is not here right now.
Not here? Then where is she?
She's gone to the countryside for her performance business.
Could you tell me where?
Huh, I don't know if I can contact her or not since they'll be moving around a lot.
We really need to see Remy.
All right, I'll take care of it.
But it will take some time.
Thank you.
Please let us know if you receive any information.
Remy is a rich girl?
On top of that she's a daughter of the British Milligan family.
It seems like luck has come my way.
If I handle things carefully, I could get some good money.
Do you think that man will find Remy?
Right now, Gaspard's the only one we can rely on.
We just have to wait. - Yes.
You're very talented.
Where did you learn the violin?
You... -Mattia wasn't taught the violin.
But he's very good at it.
Oh... Do you guys live in the village?
No.
I'm... - Remy, it's time to go back to the vineyard.
Wait!
Bye!
Don't splash me, Remy!
You're splashing, Lise!
You're excited, aren't you?
So are you, Marie!
Mr. Remon, who are those kids?
Oh... They're here from Paris to work.
I hire them every year from Gaspard.
Gaspard takes in homeless children and finds them work.
Homeless children?
That boy...
Big brother Mattia!
Hey, hey! Quit slacking off! Get to work! To work!
Yes, ma'am.
You!
My name's Alberto.
I teach violin at a school in Paris.
You like the violin, don't you?
Would you like to play this song?
Here, take a look.
This is a song that the great composer Mozart wrote.
Don't tell me, you can't read sheet music?
Oh, I see. You memorize the song by ear.
If you do that, then you won't be able to play songs you've never heard before.
There's many songs in the world you've never heard.
Once you're able to read sheet music, then you can play any song.
Even this one.
I could teach you how to read sheet music.
I... - Hey, Mattia!
Mattia, where are you?
I should go.
Big brother Mattia's late.
He is. - Big brother Mattia seems strange lately.
He always looks angry and deep in thought.
He used to play with us a lot more. - Yeah...
Once you're able to read sheet music, then you can play any song.
It's wonderful. Just wonderful.
Yeah.
If you practice more, you'll be able to play just like him.
He's a real musician. I'll never be like him no matter what I do.
Don't give up!
Oh...
Wait!
I'd like to talk to you.
Remy, go back. - But...
Go, please.
Okay...
Don't you want to come with me?
Huh?
You have talent.
It'd be a waste to hide it.
It's not impossible to become a world famous violinist,
if you study music from the basics.
I'm leaving here tomorrow.
If you want to come with me, I'll happily teach you everything I know.
I could study music.
If I go with him, I'll be able to play the violin whenever I want.
I wonder what he wants to talk to Mattia about?
I don't know.
But it seemed like something important.
I'm worried. I feel like big brother Mattia won't come back anymore.
Huh? - Big brother Mattia seems strange lately.
Silly... Where would Mattia go?
Right, Remy? - Hmmm...
No way! Mattia's not someone who'd abandon us.
He wouldn't do that. - I wouldn't mind.
Huh?
I don't mind. I don't mind if Mattia doesn't mind.
No!
I don't want him to go! I don't! - I don't either.
Me either. - Me either.
I don't either!
Me either!
What? You guys still up?
Big brother Mattia!
Big brother Mattia! We'll be together forever, right?
We'll all be together forever, right?
Mattia, come with me.
I'll teach you everything I know.
I'll go. I'll go with you! I want to learn the violin!
I love the violin! I want to practice more and get better at it!
I want to become a violinist like my dad!
Huh?
My name's Remy.
Don't do things you know are wrong, Mattia!
I'm not doing them because I want to!
I can't survive without doing them!
Mattia...
I...
Remy! Remy!
Wait, Remy!
Don't go, Remy!
Mattia...
Were you having a bad dream?
Remy!
Big brother Mattia!
Mattia's not someone who'd abandon us.
Are you sure that's your decision?
Did you think it over well?
I can't go without Remy or my friends. They're all my friends.
Yes, friends are important.
But this will affect your entire future.
I've already made up my mind.
Mattia!
I teach at the Couteau music academy in Paris.
If you change your mind, come and see me anytime.
Let us stay together forever.
I want to be with Remy.
Huh...
We'll be together forever.
We'll never be apart.
Remy...
Madam, I finally got some information about your daughter, Remy.
Your daughter is living at Gaspard's house.
I'll find her soon and bring her back to you. So please wait.
I wonder if that guy will really find Remy.
Can we really trust him?
Surely, not everyone can be so strong
The blue sky lifts all of the world's tears...
Tomorrow's courage comes
From the future that gives us our fate
Try to seek for them more
Give your heart to
That person who is also seeking you
Why are you looking for Remy?
Because Remy is a daughter of the Milligan family.
Come here, Remy!
Remy! Remy!
Mattia! Mattia!
