Those eyes will open when he thinks of life and accepts everything.
Hirose...
And they close themselves in darkness when they are imprisoned by death and reject everything.
The one he chose...
I'll protect my mother.

A lost past unable to fly with wounds that remain unhealed

On a starry night I point to distant Orion

I've lost my light yet I'm content with that

And cried

If I can be a bird, if I can be the wind, will my wish come true?

I say such things to tease you

When we are together holding hands our wings unfold

Oh... but it is so full of tears
ああ何故か涙が溢れてた
Hirose...
Don't torment my mother!
Go away!
Go!
What are you doing, Takuma-kun?!
Go!
Shut up!
Stay away! Stay away!
Hirose...
Stay away!
No, let go!
Let go!
Please!
Mother...
Hirose...
Hirose!
Hayami-chan! Hayami-chan!
Over here, Hotaru!
Taku-bou!
I've called the police.
What?
I intend to tell them everything.
Including the fact that I found the rifles missing at home.
And that I found you here.
You...
This village doesn't belong to you.
Taku-bou, can you tell it's me? It's me!
Taku-bou...
And my mother?
Where's my mother?
Twelfth Carving 「H2O」
He doesn't seem able to control the memories that are stored in his subconscious.
What does that mean, exactly?
If we try to bring him back to reality by force, he might reject it instead.
For the moment, we should accept him the way he is.
Accept...
Mother? You're here, right?
Mother?
I'm here.
Hold my hand!
Don't ever let go, okay?
Sawai Village Chief, Arrested for Attempted Murder
They're here!
Can we just get a few words from you?
Have you always disliked your grandfather?
Um...
I heard that some people in the village are criticising you,
saying it was a fight over political power—
Tabata Kick!
Hurry up and get lost, you trash!
What was that?
This guy touched my special place!
Th-Th-That's ridiculous!
Eh... this is really heavy...
H-Hey... what are you doing?
St-Stop it!
They really don't give up, do they?
It can't be helped.
Since I went that far...
What are you talking about?
You did the right thing, didn't you?
Yep, if they come again, even Yukiji said she'd speak out.
Everyone's on your side.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's about time for Hirose to come back, right?
Your arm is all better?
Yes, they took a look at it in the hospital, and they said it was fine.
So, how is Hirose?
He's fine, right?
To Tokyo?
Yeah...
Apparently, he'll be better off living where his mother used to be.
You don't mean—
I've decided to move to Tokyo with Hirose.
I don't have a home, so it doesn't matter where I live.
No way... but Hirose-kun was—
Maki!
It's strange.
Even under these circumstances, I'm happy...
knowing that someone needs me.
You have to do it by yourself tomorrow.
Okay!
Well, good night.
Good night.
You haven't forgotten anything?
No, I never had much luggage in the first place.
This is the address of the apartment.
The Hirose family has rented it ever since Taku-bou's mother died.
So it should still be exactly as it was.
What about the rest of his family?
They don't want to be involved.
They don't want Taku-bou's condition to be known.
That's all.
I see.
It doesn't matter what you say to them.
You just have to do it yourself.
Yes, I understand.
I didn't even have to say it, did I?
I'm going out for a bit.
Okay, for your last time, right?

it's still hard to leave it.
We've been through a lot to get here.
Yes.

There is loneliness and pain

We always walked side by side.
Even though we both hurt each other.

Running away won't change anything

We hit each other here and there.
We fell, burned ourselves, suffered from frostbite...

This place is where I believe
そうこのばしょでここでいきてゆく
I thought I couldn't take it anymore.
But we still hurt each other.

I’ll go on living

And finally, we learned how to hold each other's hands.
We learned how to support each other.

I can hold my head up high and say it now...

Really?
Hayami-chan...
I... I...

Into the future
いしょにゆこう
I'll never forget you, ever.
Yes.
Hirose Takuma-kun will be transferring for medical treatment.
He wasn't here long, but he was happy to be friends with all of you.
That is what he wanted to say.
Also, Kohinata Hayami-san will be transferring as well.
She said they won't be coming back to the village.
Do you really not need to say any good-byes?
School is going to end soon.
It's all right. I've already said them.
I see.
Ko-Kohinata.
Oh?
You two!
Sorry.
Mother!
Can we go?
Yes, we'll go soon.
U-Um...
Give Hotaru your support.
Kohinata...
S-Sure!
Think of me sometimes!
Hey, Mother.
Can you hold my hand?
Yes, sure.
Um...
This way!
Did you forget where your own home is?
I'm home.
This is... the room where Hirose and his mother lived.
Dear all,
Although it's already autumn according to the calendar,
the hot days linger on.
I'm sure you're all living happily, as always.
We're happy as well.
I've finally gotten used to my job.
But city roads are very complicated.
Why do they build diagonal roads?
I'm sure they just cause everyone to get lost.
Hirose in particular is the same as always.
But sometimes he acts a bit like he did in the past.
I know he doesn't mean to do anything bad,
but some embarrassing things have happened.
Ah, speaking of things that have changed, there is one.
Hayami?
Yeah, I saw her in a dream.
Do you know her?
What was she like?
She always had scary eyes and was quiet,
and even if I spoke to her, she'd ignore me.
And she'd hit me.
But...
she was a nice girl!
She let me eat some ramen!
Mum?
Hey, do you like that girl, Takuma?
Ah, you do like her!
I-I don't know!
I'm happy.
I still exist within him.
I haven't completely disappeared.
That's how we are at the moment.
If anything else happens, I'll let you know.
It's going to start getting cold soon.
Take care of yourselves.
P.S. I heard Tabata-san changed her hairstyle.
I hope I can see it.
I'm home.
Ah, welcome home!
Just wait a bit.
I'm going to do some shopping.
Eh? Then I'll come too.
Don't be selfish. I'll be back soon.
I'm tired of staying in the house.
I guess it can't be helped. Go get ready.
Yeah!
Hey, Takuma.
What is it, Mother?
What do you think of your mother?
Why?
Do you still think that she abandoned you?
Eh? You're always with me.
I mean your real mother.
I could never believe that she abandoned you.
She couldn't have done that.
Listen!
Your mother loved you!
I think she loved you more than anything else!
So, believe in your mother's feelings.
My mother's... feelings.
No...
NO!
That's right...
Back then as well...
She...
You've accepted everything.
Hayami-chan!
Hirose Takuma-sama.
I may never have a chance to convey these feelings to you.
You and I are too distant, and I'm too clumsy.
I can't put my feelings into words.
That's why I'm writing what I feel now.
You taught me many things.
There is a light in the sky.
Stagnated water will drain away.
The wind will bring changes.
Words can cut like an edged knife, but also wrap you up in kindness.
Even if we can't understand each other, people have hearts.
Eventually, someone will notice.
I gave up on everything before I knew anything.
I abandoned everything I had.
Graduation Work
Materials
Tools
But you taught me, little by little,
to do my best, without giving up.
You held my hand tight.
The words "I like you" aren't strong enough.
The words "I love you" are too vague.
So I don't know how best to express these feelings.
Because I don't know, I'll just leave you with this.
Hirose Thank you for the world
When I was happy...
When I was sad...
In all those times,
you were always by my side.
But when I wanted you beside me the most...
Why did you abandon me?
God said this to the man,
"I am always beside you.
When you were in so much pain that you didn't know what to do,
when you were so sad that you wanted to cry,
I walked and carried you on my shoulders."
Looking back at God, the man said,
"I am grateful for everything. Thank you."

I can't do that.
Are you denying my request?

Back then those words were spun
その時紡がれた言葉がね
Even if it's you, a no is a no.
The fields belong to the whole village.
I told you I just wanted to borrow them!
We'll lose the balance in the village

Listen they can be heard now
ほら今聞こえてきたよ
if I approve such unequal treatment.
As the village chief, I can't accept that.
Stop looking down on me like that!

Walking down this sandy beach

That's just because of where I'm standing...
Good afternoon!
Ah, Maki-san.
I was close by, so I thought I'd stop by.

More importantly, how are things going over there?
They said they'd be finished today.

Probably.
Because Hayami-chan loved windmills.
I see.

Looking up at the blue sky now

I have a dream.
You're...
I walk along the beach with you.
Otoha? Where are you?
Over here!
Coming now!
Otoha...
Footprints in the sand forever.
It's been a while. You've really grown up.
It was really hard to convince the Fairy World to let me do this.
So this time, watch over her properly.
Eh, wait!
That was...
