Photos are amazing...
That someone can cut out just a moment of their happiness or a moment of their joy...
...and then keep it for the rest of their lives.
Ai.
It's time for you to wake up.
Good morning.
Ah... Ah... What is this?!
Ai, wake up!
Ai! Ai!
What is this all about?!
What's the matter? Yelling this early in the morning...
Ah...
Why would you do such a thing...?
I'm sorry.
Ai...
...you'll be late.
We'll talk about this again when you come back home.
Okay?
Well then, go wash your face.

Yeah.
Norio-san, come have lunch.
I wonder what she was thinking...
Coming.
Yes, this is the Bando residence.
Ah, Sakura. What's up?
Ohh!
I see! So there was a hand like that to play...
Ah... Kimi-chan, Sakura-chan.
Eh? Has something happened?
Ah... Ai... is gone...
Eh?!
Kimie, what do you mean "she's gone"?
Ai left the house saying she was going to cram school, but they said Ai hadn't come there yet...
I got a call from them at the company.
Was she kidnapped?
Kidnapped?!
Don't go saying such things!
Sorry! It just slipped out of my mouth...
Ah, Kimi-chan! Kimi-chan!
Sumire-chan...
What'll we do? If something's happened to Ai, what'll we do...
Ah, you're all here.
Sorry for troubling you like this...
Kentaro... How can you be so calm about this?
Even though your own daughter is missing...
Have you called the police?
The police?
Mom, please calm down.
Ai hasn't been going to the cram school for over 3 days now.
Seems she told them she no longer wishes to go there.
That's right... Mom, did you notice anything about her?
I just thought she was going to cram school.
Yeah, that's true.
And she'd been coming home at the right time in the evenings after it was over.
In that case, won't she come home at that time again today, too?
Ah... that's true.
Let's go to my house.
I'm at a loss about Ai.
"At a loss about her" isn't quite right...
It feels as though she has this slightly troubled part of her.
That's true...
She just bottles her emotions inside and doesn't talk much about them.
When I ask her about them, she just keeps silent and won't answer...
Her teacher at school cautioned me about that a lot...
And coming here, she still hasn't... right?
Yeah.
I guess even at the place where she was born and raised...
...and where her Grandpa and Grandma are...
She told you herself that she wanted to go to cram school, right?
Yes. And we told her we'd support that.
Hmm...
I wonder what it is...
What the reason Ai suddenly said she didn't want to go is...
Yeah...
Maybe because she's an only child, she's become self-centered and can't see things through...
That's not true.
Sakura, you're an only child too, right?
Ai isn't self-centered and she can see things through...
I'm sorry.
But Mom, did you notice anything at all about her?
Yeah. Let's see...
This is about the time when she comes home.
However, night came and Ai still hadn't returned home.
We'll start our search now. If we find her, we'll contact you right away.
If you would please.
Well then, let's please split up.
Dad, you two take the city of Kobe.
I'll try Sannomiya first.
And I'll go to the station.
Mom, you and Sakura try all her friends.
Yes.
Then, let's go.
I think it's over here.
Mother-in-law, please wait here at the house.
Yes...
Ah, Ai...
Father... Mother... I beg you.
I pray nothing happens to Ai...
Please watch over her.
Sumire.
Mother...?
Sumire.
It's about Ai...
Don't worry. She will return home soon.
Ahh! Thank goodness!
Sakura and us don't know what to do... We're worried sick about Ai.
You would be worried, huh? Since she's exactly like you, right?
Ah...
You couldn't get a grip on things...
...and were a child I never could quite figure out what it was you were thinking.
And then, without a thought, you'd suddenly suddenly speak up and be firm.
Still, you were a truly strong child.
You might look like you were in a daze or off in some dream...
...but you were only thinking about the things you liked.
Raising a child doesn't always go the way you think it will.
You can be certain that all sorts of unexpected things will happen.
But even so, that's what makes it fun.
Listen patiently to what Ai has to say to you.
The voice from her heart.
I will.
Onee-chan...
Yuri, come over here.
You've been working really hard too, haven't you, Yuri?
Mother...
You really have.
"Yuri may look strong, but she isn't."
That's what your Mother taught me.
It would have been easier to just say "no one could do that..."
...but Yuri just wasn't such a child.
Whatever it was, you worked hard at it...
Since you are the oldest sister.
Sumire.
Even if you can't see us, we will always be watching over you two.
Because to me and your Mother...
...you are our Beppin.
A dream...?
Ai!
Ah...
