Yuki-chan!
Yoko-chan.
Stop! Stop! Please!
Yuki-chan!
Yuki-chan...
Did you run here from school?
That's a long ways.
For my sake?
Because...
Thank you. Thank you!
I'll be fine.
Even if I'm working, I can study.
"Do your best." That's what Natsuko-sensei told me.
So I'll definitely, definitely continue doing that with all my might.
So you should do your best, too, Yoko-chan.
Yeah.
But, Yoko-chan...
Don't forget to study what happiness is.
Yeah.
I have to go far, far away...
...but we'll always stay friends, okay?
Please.
Yuki-chan...
"Somehow, Yuki-chan's expression was like that of an adult."
Yuki-chan!
"I thought for sure that Yuki-chan's life would become much harsher for her."
"But she didn't give up."
"She became a lovely and wonderful woman.."
"...who was very helpful to me later."

"And, this is in retrospect though..."
"...but perhaps that was the time when it sprouted in my heart."
"Since I am to lose my life here now,"
"let me blow a tune of farewell to this world."
Got that?
The most important thing is what you yourself think about it.
"Yes..."
"It was then that I first considered it."
"That I wanted to become a teacher."
Kono michi ha itsuka kita michi This path is the path we will take someday
"I thought I'd like to be the one who granted Yuki-chan's dream."
"No. I SHOULD grant it."
"Showa 8, April (1933)"
"And then, I had become a 5th grader."
You're working hard, Yoko. What are you studying?
No. I'm not studying.
I'm copying a textbook.
"Tanaka Yuki-sama" If you would please.
Sure thing. Leave it to me.
"I kept mailing her them the entire time."
"Until I graduated the girl's high school..."
"...and whenever I had a new textbook and a little time..."
"...I would transcribe them and send them to Yuki-chan."
Are you okay?
Yeah.
"I no longer took walks with my mother the way I had before."
Here. Please distribute these.
Here.
- Here. - Thank you.
"Mt Jonendake Information"
"Mt. Jonendake"
Whaa!
Are you ready?
This is Mt. Jonendake that all of us will be climbing next week.
(In Nagano Prefecture, 2,857meters, Japan's 25th highest mountain)
We'll leave at dawn, stay overnight at the cottage here...
...and then climb to the top starting early in the morning.
It will be my first time, too, so I'm looking forward to it.
Whaa!
It is a very tough climb,
but the view from the top is so absolutely beautiful that it is unforgettable!
After all, we'll be going above the clouds!
Above the clouds, huh...
How's your health?
What's happened? What about your job?
I left early.
- You left early... - It's okay.
It's because...
...you love me so much, isn't it?
What foolish things are you talking about?
I'm very happy.
Enough already.
Hiroko, are you okay?
I'm home.
Mt. Jonendake, huh...
Whaa! It'll be incredible!
To be so close to the sun.
I'm home!
Shige-niichan, what's the matter?
Nii-chan?
Nii-chan. Where's Mom?
Hey, where's Mom?
Sensei! Sensei!
Please! Sensei!
Mom...
I wonder if Mom'll die?
Ah...
What's the matter?
Haru-niisan...
Dad said to stay at home, didn't he, Shige?
He and Mom said, "We'll be back right away..."
"...so wait here."
But I want to go where Mom is.
Let's wait.
But...
I think we should do what Dad told us.
Let's believe in Mom.
I'm certain Mom will come back.
Has Mom ever lied to any of us?
No.
What did Mom tell you?
What did she say to do during hard times and painful times?
"To smile."
Correct answer.
Is Mom... gonna die?
Thank you very much.
Hiroko!
Eh...
Thank goodness.
Eh?
I'm still alive.
Ryo-san...
Yeah.
I want... to go home.
But right now is...
It's... no good for me here.
The children...
...are waiting for me.
Ryo-san... please.
Beautiful, isn't it, Ryo-san?
Yeah.
I'm glad we came to Azumino.
Ryo-san.
Hmm? What is it?
I'm sorry for speaking so selfishly right to the end.
What are you saying?
Eh?
You've been selfish the entire time.
Ever since I met you.
My, how terrible.
Mom!
Welcome home!
I'm home.
