That day

when Kyuuto's reset button was pressed, since that day

I have lost interest in everything.

Something inside me has stopped.

What is this feeling?

Everything seems so far away.

I don't understand the words they speak.

I don't recognize the people around me.

It looks like a scenery.

Why don't I want to talk?

Why don't I want to eat?

I want to hear nothing. I want to see nothing.

I'm a human, still alive

but Kyuuto is not here anymore.

I want to see her.

I want to see her.

I want to see her.

A copy will do, if the real one is not available.

Just once will be enough.

Even from a distance.

I want to see her.

Found it!

Found it! Here!

Have you also found what you're looking for?

This is the worst.

When did you arrange it?

Remember what you said to Fukai-kun.

It's something that only you can do.

However,

you certainly won't like to do it.

"That's it. She wants Fukai-kun to press the reset button", I guessed.

Taking this into consideration

I exchanged Kyuuto's reset button.

In case Fukai-kun will press the button

I asked Kyuuto to pretend to reset.

So she might have a chance to escape.

And indeed, she has escaped, right?

Where is Kyuuto?

Haven't you attached something like a transmitter?

This is the transmitter.

No way.

If I can't bring back Q10, something terrible is bound to happen.

Something terrible?

The world will be thrown into great disorder.

Then... if you explain that to Fukai-kun,

he will have to understand.

That's no use.

Why?

People only believe in what they see.

If I explain it to him, he won't believe me.

Then let Fukai-kun see something that threatens him.

Is there no other way?

Of course there is.

Appeal to his heart!

That would be a miracle.

We're still in 2010.

The miracle!

Right. It's Christmas.

Please Santa,

let me see Kyuuto once again.

If you make such miracle happen...

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Kyuuto? Not so loudly!

We have been detected.

Let's run away!

Kyuuto!

If you make such miracle happen,

I'm not going to ask for anything ever again.

What? Tea? Then I didn't press the reset button?

That's right.

But why is Kyuuto staying at your place?

Because Yanagi-kyoshi relies on me, of course!

Eh? But why you?

I can imagine what you feel, but this is my room!

Oh. Ok.

Then why are you dressed as Santa?

We were told not to go out,

but Kyuuto insisted on participating in the tombola.

So, when we go out we disguise as Santa.

I see.

Did you have luck at the tombola? Yes!

Kyuuto won! She won 3 times!

Look!

Hey, I said this is my room!!

What's wrong?

Oh, you can speak?

Do you feel bad?

It's already one week today.

Since one week already? Why...

I learned it by chance.

He didn't want you to know.

You're happy right now.

This is not your place anymore.

I'm so scared.

I know myself that my face is looking scared.

That is why I come here everyday without entering the ward.

What shall I do, if Kubo-kun recognizes how ill he is?

I don't have courage at all.

Maybe I don't love him enough.

What are you doing?

I'm putting back the original reset button.

Eh?! Why? If you do that, Fujino Tsukiko will again...

If the reset button is to be pressed, Fukai-kun will do it himself.

No way!

Fukai will definitely not press whatever button.

If you talk to Fujino-san, you'll understand what's in her heart.

Her heart? Talk to her? There's no way I'm going to do that!

If the button is pressed, the same thing will happen again.

No.

Pressing a button without knowing the circumstances

and pressing a button after consideration are completely different matters.

So what! Fukai has no reason to press it, has he?

What could this be?

What is this?

Heiya-he.

Have you met Kyuuto?

As usual, Fukai-kun is easy to find out.

Will you press the reset button?

I don't want to.

If you leave Kyuuto the way it is, the world will be thrown into great disorder.

Because of you, two civilizations will be destroyed and one language extinguished.

You don't get my point?

Right now, 900 million people in this world are starving.

While we are talking here, people are dying in wars and conflicts.

But you think it has nothing to do with you.

Today again, somewhere someone is crying for an important person

until their tears run dry.

But as long as

you don't see it, you don't care, right?

If I'm not going to press it,

people will die?

5.6 million people.

I'm convinced that Fujino Tsukiko is lying.

That should better be true.

Over there, isn't that Fujioka's desk?

As you mention it, Fujioka's seat had been cleared away.

I wonder if Fujioka is doing well? Since we don't see him daily any more,

there seems to be a great distance between us.

Although the bakery is just around the corner.

I know.

By the way, I haven't seen Kyuuto for a while.

What happened?

What might have happened?

You'll tell her to come to school tomorrow, ok?

Yes! What's that?

Huh? So it is. Did something happen? Is she sick?

And why does Nakao-kun know where she is?

It's not like we're dating or something.

We're definitely not dating!

Nobody is thinking that way.

That's how it is.

If someone is away for some time, nobody cares any more.

When I'll be in Canada it will be the same.

For everyone here it will be as if I had died.

Yamamoto is absent since almost a week.

Do you know something? No.

I see. Sorry, but I thought you and Yamamoto are friends.

Seems like I'm mistaken. Sorry.

What's going on?

I'm really the worst.

Why?

Yamamoto-san and I are supposed to be friends,

but I had not even noticed her absence.

And then...

Aah...even now,

you hear complaints from me.

I'm really the worst.

Sort of...

I'm sorry.

I can't say, "I'm waiting for you until you return from Canada".

I just can't say it.

Probably because I don't have confidence at all.

I don't have confidence even in myself.

I'm like that too.

I still don't know if I should go to Canada.

Why don't we

start believing in ourselves first?

Without that we won't get far, I guess.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

Of course I am!

Sounds a bit arrogant, right?

No.

It's definitly the first do do, right?

Isn't it nice? Let's decorate together next year again.

Next year we might be living together.

No, that's not possible. Why?

We don't know what the future will bring, do we?

I don't have great expectations for the future.

Somehow I'll manage to make a living. At least, as long as I avoid the worst.

Then it's all ok for me.

Now you must think I'm quite square.

No, I think that's a brilliant way of thinking.

How come?

Because that brings peace into this world.

Let's wish that everyone in this world

will somehow manage to make a living

and to avoid the worst.

[ To Santa. I wish for Christmas with the family. ]

I'm back.

Dad?

I'll wake him up. No, let him sleep.

Why did he draw this picture so slovenly?

Just like 4 people he might have randomly met.

Don't say that.

But when I look at this picture, I have no doubt.

"I have confidence in these guys", he wanted to say.

When I look at it, could it be that he isn't wrong?

Can I say

that you will grant his wish?

That Christmas present,

don't let him open it.

Eh? Because it's empty.

But next year I'll bring one that's not empty.

You're going already?

Wait.

Here. But it's not nearly enough.

No. It's ok.

It's ok, I've decided.

Then...

Take it all!

Then I take this.

See you.

Can it be true? 5.6 million people will die?

For me, what Fujino-san said might be true.

5.6 million people?

I can't comment on that number,

but if something is taken from nature,

it's balance might be disturbed.

Must the worst case happen under any circumstances?

I guess, whatever will happen has nothing to do with you.

Eh? Don't you think that's weird?

It will be my fault. Because of me terrible times might begin.

The world is not unfair to such an extend.

Therefore, however complicated it will become,

the worst case is not going to happen.

This came out of Kyuuto's tooth.

Eh? What is this?

A letter from you when you're 88 years old.

I'll live that long?

Your last words. Read it.

Even if I'd like to...how can I?

"To my 18-year old self." Right there.

"Love the world as much as you love Kyuuto!"

That's it!

We're going to meet a music producer. I'm so excited.

I heard that, when you wish something from this doll, it'll come true.

Really?

Let us have our CD debut!

It's not working.

Try it.

Please!

So we will not have a CD debut.

Then I'll wish for something else.

It's granted! What did you wish?

Wait! Where are you going?!

The producer is coming! Tamiko!

My wish will be granted.

My wish is...

I will fail the exam and will not graduate.

And then, after you have left this hospital,

we're going to pass the school gate together.

If not next year, then the year after next.

If not the year after next, then in the third year.

When I said this deep in my heart

it beamed.

But even if my wish will not be granted,

there's still the school gate,

that we can walk through together.

When that time comes,

I will wear a spectacular wig.

My shining red hair

will signal to everybody

that I walk with you.

Do you have hard toast? Sensei!

What's that? This store was is?

Yes. Hard Toast will be ready in a moment.

Can you wait for a while? Sure.

Please. Excuse me.

How is it? You're still going on?

Yes.

In order to do well in society,

first, find a reliable adult model. One person is enough.

To find such a person,

that's half the way to success.

So, how is it? Do you have someone like that?

I have.

Good for you! Who is that person?

It's you, Principal.

Me? It's me?!

No way! Really?

Then I'll do my best.

Hard toast is ready now.

Sensei, hear that freshly baked bread crackle.

Really? Such a thing.

Ah! This smells good.

I'm holding a warm bread.

I have a daughter and grandchild at home.

And I have a student who believes in me.

Yeah. I'm happy.

What?

Dad, say...

Do you love mom?

Shall I say it? Here? In the living room?

Yes. I love her.

Most of all her neck.

Well then,

do you love the world as much

as you love mom?

Now that you mention it, I probably do.

When I began to love your mother,

I also gave love the world. So it seems to me.

Really? What do you mean by that?

In other words, by loving your mother

she gave birth to children whom I also love.

Which means, by giving birth to you

mother and I increased love.

I also love the kindness that your mother has given to us.

I love that kind person who has given us kindness.

Your mother could be ill-tempered, sometimes even bossy.

How she became the person she is now,

that's again something I could love.

I love everything that makes her what she is.

That's how it is.

Q-chan!

Welcome back.

Loving kind-hearted Kyuuto,

Good morning.

loving what makes up Kyuuto's personality,

that means loving the world

as much as I love Kyuuto.

Now let's

press the reset button here.

Why do you say that?

Heita's heart is anxious.

Can it stay anxious for the rest of your life?

Will you be able to become happy that way?

I will press the reset button.

Why?

Because it's Christmas.

I forgot to tell you.

The human brain does not store memories of Kyuuto.

In about one year you will have forgotten Kyuuto.

Nor will you remember me.

All memories of us will gradually fade away. Don't worry about it.

Will Kyuuto forget me?

That's a Christmas miracle.

Thank you. There's no way that I'll forget her.

I will not forget her.

So Fukai is going to press it after all.

Then at last, can you give me strength?

I mean, grant me the power to become able to construct a robot like you for sure.

Grant you power?

Puff!! Like that.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Puff!!

Power received!!

I'll say farewell to everyone now.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow. Bye bye.

Goodbye.

Bye bye! See you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow!

Goodbye.

Oh! Till tomorrow then.

Goodbye. Oh! See you.

Goodbye!

Everybody says, "There is a tomorrow".

They believe in it without the least doubt.

That must not be taken away.

Nobody may take it away.

Yeah. I think so too.

But I don't want to forget you.

If two persons truly love each other,

they'll meet again someday.

This is the truth. There is no goodbye.

Hey, that's too perfect.

Don't you think it should better look like hand drawn?

Hand drawn? Yeah.

You know, "hand drawn" doesn't mean you have to draw a hand.

Nevermind. Just continue.

A rabbit! Wow! It's really a rabbit!

Puff. This is good. Yes, it's good.

You don't find a rabbit with 5 ears in this world.

Rabbit!

Ok?

Heita,

see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

The people of this era,

can believe in something that they can't see, right?

You said, "There's no eternity", didn't you?

Yes.

But will not, what you have seen in year 2010,

become an eternal scenery inside yourself?

I see.

I can create my own eternity.

See! You have it too.

The power to believe in things that can't be seen.

Our brain cannot store the memory?

Does that mean we will forget Kyuuto?

In one year the memory of her will be gone.

But she can't become something that never existed.

We all have met her, didn't we?

What's that? Is somebody coming?

I have accommodated a lodger.

What?!

Why do you make such an important decision without asking me?

Even so... the luggage is already here.

Eh?! I don't like it! Wait, I have to refuse! I have to refuse!

Excuse me!

Please take care of me from now on. I'm Yanagi Kuriko.

No way! Really? The lodger is Yanagi-kyoshi?

Why didn't you tell me?

I have told you!

I said we might be living together next year.

Oi, old hag! Hurry up, prepare the food already!

Who's an old hag? Hurry.

Sit down! Sit down! Ah, then...

You too, sensei. Sorry.

Yes. It's 6 years since the surgery.

I can't believe that time passed away so quickly.

But it's 6 years indeed. So we should say "already", right?

Going together through hard times, that's something an average family never has to.

It was a good experience.

And now, Heita will say a word. Please!

Me? What shall I say?

Because you have always given me

the hope that I will be completely cured

I can be here today, I believe.

Thank you.

When you come back, what will you do first?

Let me see...

I'll walk through the school gate.

Why that?

And then skip class and lie down on the rooftop

next to someone who's humming and singing

while looking at the blue sky.

What feeling might begin to grow out of that?

It's not "might begin".

It will begin!

You didn't go back yet?

We'll go home today.

For the last time, show me your smile.

That will be impossible for awhile.

Don't worry. You can go on living with a smile.

But this must be true for sure.

That's impossible.

It must be an imagination from high school times. Suppose it is an imagination,

but one that's deep in your heart,

so it might resemble someone who really existed.

Eh? Maybe...

Kyuuto had surely watched this scenery together with you.

Ah! Lecture is about to start. Let's go!

Eh, already?

See. You will smile.

That girl... she will become my wife?

Yes. You will be together until death.

Even though you will forget

that Kyuuto was here, you will not lose confidence.

I'm sorry. Was it too loud?

No. Somehow nostalgic.

This music is nice, right?

I became 88 years old yesterday.

I'm not going to die yet.

But my wife will probably die soon.

My wife keeps on asking me about Kyuuto.

Kyuuto is probably only a product of my imagination.

But whenever I look at something,

I think Kyuuto might perhaps show up.

The first time I saw her during a business trip in the sphere of the moon,

during our honeymoon while listening to the sound of melting ice,

the day I took the children out in the sunlight under a 1000 year old tree.

What kind of miracle will you see?

My fatally ill wife wished to see me as 18-year old.

To grant her wish,

a robot that can travel time was ordered.

The look was based on old data of my wife.

When they showed me the result I was shocked.

It was exactly Kyuuto.

To the last detail.

Now I am convinced that in my young days

I had really met Kyuuto.

Before long I will bid farewell to my wife.

But as long as I'm alive

her smile won't vanish from this world.

I had not known whether Kyuuto had ever existed.

But after 70 years of doubt she was really here.

Right now, I'm beside my wife drinking tea. And I say,

Love, courage and peace,

if you believe that they exist in this world, they will surely exist.

I want to say this to my 18-year old self:

Love the world as much as you love Kyuuto!

Even if you can't see something now, be confident!

Someday, right before your eyes, the things you believe in

will appear in some way. Until then.
