[00:01] Miki
    The puppy was always in the dark.
[00:11] (Flashback) Ryo
    To live is to care for someone.
[00:18] (Flashback) Ryo
    It's not difficult.
[00:20] (Flashback) Ryo
    To care for someone and to take
    a step forward for someone.
[00:29] (Flashback) Ryo
    That's
[00:32] (Flashback) Ryo
    probably what it means to live.
[00:46] Miki
    The puppy was always in the dark.
[00:52] Miki
    The puppy was always lost;
    he didn't know where he was.
[00:57] Miki
    The many tall buildings filling
    the city blocked all the light.
[01:04] Miki
    In the darkness, the puppy walked, hungry.
[01:12] Falcon
    Sorry, I interrupted you.
[01:15] Miki
    Do you want to listen?
[01:19] Miki
    Do you want to listen to me read?
[01:24] Falcon
    Sure.
[01:26] Falcon
    Would you read it to me?
[01:28] Miki
    Sure, okay.
[01:47] Miki
    In the darkness, the puppy walked, hungry.
[01:56] Miki
    The puppy pointed his muddy
    face towards the empty sky.
[02:02] Miki
    That's when he saw in the
    darkness a shining light.
[02:14] Miki
    I'll lend you this book if you like it.
[02:19] Falcon
    My eyes...
[02:23] Falcon
    I can't read.
[02:25] Miki
    I'll read for you, then.
[02:31] Miki
    "Oh? What is that light?"
[02:34] Miki
    The puppy ran towards the light.
[02:38] Miki
    But is he getting closer,
    or is it getting farther away?
[02:43] Miki
    The puppy could not tell.
[02:46] Miki
    Still, the puppy ran the best he could.
SIGN    Angel Heart
[03:33] Ryo
    Yo, Xin-Hong, Xin-Hong.
[03:35] Xin-Hong
    What's up with Umibozu?
[03:38] Ryo
    He's been wiping the same
    cup for half an hour.
[03:41] Xin-Hong
    Something's not right with him lately.
[03:44] Xin-Hong
    Every day, past noon...
[03:45] Falcon
    Xin-Hong.
[03:46] Xin-Hong
    Yes?
[03:47] Falcon
    Take care of the shop.
[03:48] Xin-Hong
    Again?
[03:49] Falcon
    I'm going shopping.
[03:53] Ryo
    Yeah, something's definitely not right.
[03:59] Miki
    Mister.
[04:07] Miki
    Over here.
[04:14] Miki
    Have a seat.
[04:16] Miki
    Here.
[04:20] Miki
    I'm going to read.
[04:21] Falcon
    Right.
[04:24] Ryo
    A picture book?
[04:27] Ryo
    Umibozu?
[04:28] Xin-Hong
    Yes.
[04:28] Xin-Hong
    Out of nowhere, he asked
    me where he could buy one.
[04:33] Xin-Hong
    It's true.
[04:34] A
    Ryo-chan! Ryo-chan!
[04:35] A
    Big news!
[04:36] B
    That's English for "big news."
[04:37] Ryo
    Yeah, I know. What?
[04:39] A
    Oh?
[04:41] A
    Who's this handsome man?
[04:45] (Flashback) Xin-Hong
    Where's Glass Heart?
[04:49] B
    Help me!
[04:51] Ryo
    What?
[04:52] Ryo
    What?
[04:55] (Flashback) Xiang Ying
    What is XYZ?
[04:58] B
    No!
[04:59] B
    No!
[05:00] A
    Wait, Mocchie, calm down.
[05:03] A
    Ryo-chan told me the situation.
[05:06] A
    You're Xiang Ying-chan,
    and you're Xin-Hong-kun!
[05:10] Xin-Hong
    Who is this person?
[05:11] Ryo
    She runs a bar named Rafflesia at Nichome.
[05:14] A
    I'm Holly.
[05:15] A
    And that over there is Mocchie.
[05:17] B
    Don't look!
[05:18] B
    But he's hot.
[05:19] Ryo
    So what's this "big news"?
[05:22] A
    Oh, right.
[05:23] A
    I saw Umi-chan at the park earlier.
[05:26] Ryo
    What's wrong with Umibozu going to the park?
[05:28] A
    Get this: She was with the Girl of Happiness.
[05:32] Ryo
    The Girl of Happiness?
[05:35] Ryo
    What's that?
[05:36] A
    Oh, you don't know?
[05:37] A
    She's been showing up in town lately.
[05:40] A
    Rumor has it that anyone
    she meets finds happiness.
[05:44] Ryo
    Find happiness?
[05:47] A
    It must have been about six months ago
    that I first heard rumors about her.
SIGN    To the Girl of Happiness
[06:02] A
    She pops up out of nowhere
    to meet the miserable.
[06:13] A
    And then she vanishes,
    leaving smiles on their faces.
[06:19] A
    Don't you think she's strange?
[06:23] Xin-Hong
    You sure know a lot.
[06:25] A
    Don't underestimate the
    Nichome information hub!
[06:28] Ryo
    Ask Holly anything about this
    town; she usually knows.
[06:33] A
    I'll teach you everything you need to know.
[06:37] Xiang Ying
    I'm good, thanks.
[06:39] B
    She's doing well, huh?
[06:43] B
    I'd never forget.
[06:47] (Flashback) B
    What didn't you like about me?
[06:50] (Flashback) C
    Sorry.
[06:56] (Flashback) B
    It's always in my head!
[07:17] B
    How strange, I have tears.
[07:21] A
    I think you're just remembering
    a man from your past.
[07:24] B
    Yup.
[07:26] B
    He works powdering shark cartilage.
[07:28] A
    Shark cartilage?
[07:30] A
    Oh, my. Tell me more.
[07:34] Ryo
    Girl of Happiness, huh?
[07:37] Xin-Hong
    But if the rumors are true,
[07:39] Xin-Hong
    that means Umibozu-san can
    find happiness, too, right?
[07:43] Ryo
    Dunno.
[07:45] Ryo
    I wonder.
[07:48] Miki
    What the puppy had found in the
    hollow of the dark was a star.
[07:53] Miki
    The star blinked, as if to
    offer the puppy a conversation.
[07:58] Miki
    "Don't worry, you're not alone."
[08:03] Miki
    Tears filled the puppy's eyes, and it
    looked as though the star was smiling.
[08:12] Miki
    The star continued:
[08:14] Miki
    "Thanks for finding me."
[08:17] Miki
    Neither the puppy nor the
    star were lonely anymore.
[08:23] Miki
    Forever and ever, they talked,
    giving no notice to the passing time.
[08:33] Falcon
    Thanks for reading every day.
[08:36] Miki
    I'm happy as long as you enjoy it, mister.
[08:38] Miki
    I'll read it to you again.
[08:40] Falcon
    Yeah.
[08:49] Miki
    See you tomorrow.
[08:50] Miki
    Bye-bye.
[08:52] Miki
    Bye-bye.
[08:58] Miki
    Bye-bye.
[09:11] Falcon
    Sorry.
[09:12] Li
    It's fine.
[09:14] Li
    What an adorable girl.
[09:16] Li
    Is she your daughter?
[09:17] Falcon
    No, nothing like that.
[09:18] Li
    Oh, really?
[09:20] Li
    You seemed like her real father.
[09:23] Falcon
    I have to return to work.
[09:24] Li
    M-My apologies.
[09:26] Li
    Excuse me.
[09:36] Falcon
    Did you still need something?
[10:01] Li
    Beware of the man named "Falcon."
[10:07] Li
    He was what you'd expect from
    someone close to Saeba Ryo.
[10:13] Carlito
    He's lost almost all sight.
[10:16] Carlito
    There's no need.
[10:17] Li
    His other senses appear to have
    become heightened in its place.
[10:23] Li
    Be careful, or you'll
    fall victim to an ambush.
[10:34] Li
    It's a Confucian saying,
[10:35] Li
    meaning "the lion hunts even the
    rabbit with all its strength."
[10:43] Li
    Keep that in mind.
[11:20] A
    Over there.
[11:21] A
    He's been there for over two hours now.
[11:25] Komiyama
    I'll handle it.
[11:27] Komiyama
    Excuse me,
[11:28] Komiyama
    I'm Komiyama from Shinjuku Nishi Station.
[11:32] Komiyama
    Hey!
[11:33] Komiyama
    Huh? What're you doing here?
[11:37] Falcon
    Picture books.
[11:39] Komiyama
    Picture books?
[11:40] Falcon
    Can you recommend me a picture book?
[11:43] Komiyama
    A recommendation?
[11:44] Falcon
    Do you have a picture book recommendation?
[11:47] Komiyama
    Ow, ow.
[11:48] Komiyama
    H-H-H-How about th-th-this one?
[11:56] Falcon
    I want this one.
[11:58] A
    Okay.
[11:59] Falcon
    Wait.
[12:00] A
    Yes?
[12:01] Falcon
    Would you please put a ribbon on it?
[12:04] A
    Understood.
[12:07] Komiyama
    A ribbon?
[12:09] Komiyama
    What are you going to do with a ribbon?
[12:14] Saeko
    Falcon bought a picture book?
[12:16] Komiyama
    I couldn't believe it.
[12:19] Komiyama
    I always thought he was a strange guy.
[12:22] Komiyama
    Imagine him at the picture book section.
[12:24] Komiyama
    He'd be nothing but a
    terror to the kids there.
[12:28] Xin-Hong
    Hey, that's the Girl of Happiness's influence.
[12:31] Saeko
    Girl of Happiness?
[12:33] Xin-Hong
    Yes.
[12:40] Saeko
    She brings happiness to whomever she meets?
[12:43] Saeko
    I've never heard such a rumor.
[12:46] Ryo
    Apparently she's been showing up in
    town since about half a year ago.
[12:51] Saeko
    Falcon with a girl, huh?
[12:54] Saeko
    Nope, I can't imagine it.
[12:57] Xin-Hong
    He's completely lost it.
[13:00] Saeko
    It's odd though, isn't it?
[13:02] Saeko
    That such a small girl would be wandering
    around here without even going to school.
[13:07] Saeko
    I wonder what her parents are doing?
[13:09] Komiyama
    That's true.
[13:10] Ryo
    That's the thing.
[13:12] Ryo
    It'd be great so long as she's happy herself.
[13:36] Miki
    Oh, sorry mister, I didn't notice you.
[13:39] Falcon
    Is something the matter?
[13:42] Miki
    I was looking at the stars.
[13:43] Falcon
    The stars?
[13:45] Miki
    Yeah.
[13:46] Miki
    I was hoping I could see them.
[13:55] Falcon
    Here.
[13:56] Falcon
    It's a gift.
[13:58] Falcon
    Thanks for everything.
[14:01] Miki
    What's this?
[14:03] Falcon
    A picture book.
[14:05] Falcon
    I don't know if you'll like it or not.
[14:06] Miki
    Thanks, mister.
[14:15] Miki
    Forever and ever, they talked,
    giving no notice to the passing time.
[14:28] Miki
    I'll read you this book tomorrow.
[14:31] Falcon
    I'll look forward to it, Miki.
[14:33] Miki
    Yup.
[14:34] Miki
    See you tomorrow.
[14:35] Miki
    Bye-bye.
[14:36] Falcon
    Bye-bye.
[14:40] Falcon
    Bye-bye.
[14:47] Ryo
    Here we go.
[15:26] Ryo
    Why don't we call it a night?
[15:31] Xiang Ying
    You sure?
[15:34] Ryo
    I don't want to scare the little angel.
[15:43] Xiang Ying
    Why did you follow her?
[15:46] Ryo
    She seems to have something
    going on at home.
[15:49] Ryo
    I couldn't just leave her.
[15:52] Xiang Ying
    Is that what you mean "to care for
    someone and to take a step for someone"?
[16:03] Ryo
    That, and Umibozu and I go way back.
SIGN    The Timid Puppy  and the Lost Star
[16:44] Falcon
    Hey.
[16:46] Xin-Hong
    Yes?
[16:47] Falcon
    Can you see the stars right now?
[16:49] Xin-Hong
    The stars?
[16:54] Xin-Hong
    The stars...
[16:57] Xin-Hong
    No, not really.
[16:59] Xin-Hong
    We're in the middle of a city.
[17:02] Falcon
    Yeah?
[17:04] Xin-Hong
    Why do you ask?
[17:07] Falcon
    No reason.
[17:29] Tome
    Hey!
[17:30] Tome
    What do you want from us?
[17:32] Ryo
    Easy. Easy, Xiang Ying.
[17:36] Ryo
    Sorry.
[17:37] Ryo
    I just happened to see a girl
    walk into this building.
[17:47] Tome
    This way.
[17:51] Ryo
    The Girl of Happiness has a secret base.
[18:06] Ryo
    It doesn't look like something a
    kid would have made by herself.
[18:15] Tome
    I'm the manager of this building.
[18:19] Tome
    As you can see, I have no tenants.
[18:25] Xiang Ying
    Look.
SIGN    To Miki I'll be home soon. Hold on to your promise with Mommy.
[18:29] Xiang Ying
    "Hold on to your promise with Mommy."
[18:34] Tome
    That was written by Miki's mother, Sato-chan.
[18:38] Ryo
    Oh.
[18:40] Ryo
    So you know her mother?
[18:42] Tome
    Yes.
[18:44] Tome
    It was two years ago that Miki and
    Sato-chan showed up in Shinjuku.
[18:55] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Are you okay?
[18:57] Tome
    They must have had some
    exceptional circumstances.
[19:01] Tome
    They didn't seem to have anywhere to live.
[19:04] Tome
    The neighbors and I decided to lend a hand.
[19:09] (Flashback) Tome
    Sato-chan, it's not much.
[19:12] (Flashback) Tome
    You two should have it together.
[19:14] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Tome-san, this isn't much, but...
[19:16] Tome
    Sato-chan tried really hard
    not to cause us any trouble.
[19:21] Tome
    She raised Miki all by herself.
[19:27] Ryo
    So where is this mother?
[19:32] Tome
    That's what we can't figure out.
[19:36] Tome
    She vanished about six months ago.
[19:40] Ryo
    Vanished?
[19:41] Tome
    She left Miki here along with that letter.
[19:48] Tome
    It's been bothering me the whole time.
[19:51] Tome
    There's no telling when
    Sato-chan will be back.
[19:55] Tome
    But I couldn't very well kick the
    girl out on her own, either.
[20:01] Ryo
    I see.
[20:06] Tome
    Hey.
[20:08] Tome
    Are you two not detectives?
[20:17] A
    Tome-san, come quick.
[20:21] A
    Miki-chan...
[20:37] Falcon
    Miki!
[20:38] Ryo
    Calm down!
[20:40] Ryo
    She was found collapsed
    in an alley in Kabukicho.
[20:42] Falcon
    Is she okay?!
[20:44] Nurse
    It was from malnutrition.
[20:47] Ryo
    She's been handing out most
    of the food and snacks
[20:51] Ryo
    she'd been given to homeless people.
[20:55] Tome
    No way.
[20:57] Tome
    Miki did?
[20:59] Doc
    Well, I don't think she's in mortal danger.
[21:02] Doc
    Give it time, and...
[21:03] Falcon
    That'd better be true.
[21:05] Doc
    Ow, ow, ow.
[21:06] Ryo
    Let go!
[21:07] Ryo
    Stop it!
[21:08] Doc
    You're way too violent.
[21:12] Doc
    There is one thing that's 
    bothering me, though.
[21:18] Doc
    That girl's showing signs of stress.
[21:37] Falcon
    Miki.
[21:40] Miki
    Mister.
[21:41] Falcon
    Sorry, did I wake you?
[21:46] Miki
    Sorry.
[21:48] Miki
    I was supposed to read you the picture book.
[21:54] Miki
    It was the same book that you got me.
[22:01] Miki
    I'll read it to you now.
[22:06] Falcon
    Miki.
[22:08] Falcon
    Miki!
[22:11] Doc
    No, she's just sleeping.
[22:12] Doc
    Her sedatives kicked in.
[22:16] Tome
    Calm down!
[22:25] Ryo
    Saeko?
[22:27] Ryo
    I need your help with something.
[22:31] Falcon
    Miki's mother?
[22:34] Saeko
    A pedestrian apparently found her dead on
    the streets in Ueno about half a year ago.
[22:39] Saeko
    Acute cardiac failure.
[22:42] Saeko
    They weren't able to find details
    on her identity from her belongings.
[22:46] Ryo
    I see.
[22:50] Tome
    I didn't think Sato-chan would abandon Miki.
[22:57] Tome
    I'd never have thought...
[23:03] Xiang Ying
    That girl...
[23:05] Xiang Ying
    Why?
[23:09] Xiang Ying
    Why did she worry for
    others more than herself?
[23:16] Tome
    Her mother would come back
    if she kept her promise.
[23:21] Tome
    She truly believes so.
[23:27] Tome
    Her promise?
SIGN    To Miki I'll be home soon. Hold on to your promise with Mommy.
[23:33] Tome
    Sato-chan would always say...
[23:41] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Miki, what did you promise me?
[23:43] (Flashback) Miki
    Not to cause people trouble.
[23:45] (Flashback) Miki
    And to be kind to people.
[23:47] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Yup.
[23:48] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    So be a good girl.
[23:49] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Promise, Miki?
[23:51] (Flashback) Miki
    Yup.
[23:51] (Flashback) Miki
    Promise.
[23:53] (Flashback) Miki
    Pinky swear. If you tell a lie,
[23:57] (Flashback) Miki
    I'll make you drink a thousand needles.
[24:00] (Flashback) Miki
    Now the promise has been made.
[24:01] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    See you soon.
[24:02] (Flashback) Miki
    See you.
[24:05] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    See you.
[24:09] Tome
    She's been keeping her promise.
[24:12] Tome
    And once her mom got home,
    they'd live together happily.
[24:16] Tome
    That was the only thing keeping Miki going.
[24:22] Saeko
    That's why even after her mom went
    missing, she didn't leave the room.
[24:34] Tome
    She couldn't help herself whenever
    she saw anyone miserable in town.
[24:40] Tome
    She had to try to make
    herself useful to them.
[24:44] Tome
    That was all she was thinking about.
[24:51] Tome
    Even though she's in the
    saddest situation of them all.
[25:01] Ryo
    That situation may be sad.
[25:06] Ryo
    But that girl has the purest
    heart of anyone in this town.
[25:14] Ryo
    There's no way someone like
    her couldn't find happiness.
[25:23] Saeko
    How are you going to break the news to her?
[25:27] Falcon
    Tell her?
[25:28] Falcon
    Tell her what?
[25:29] Saeko
    What do you think? About her mother.
[25:32] Saeko
    We can't just leave her like this.
[25:35] Falcon
    I'd expect that to come from a cop.
[25:39] Falcon
    Tell her the truth, and then what?
    Case closed?
[25:45] Falcon
    Her mother is the only
    thing keeping her going.
[25:48] Saeko
    I know that.
[25:50] Saeko
    But there's no way a little
    girl can live by herself.
[25:54] Falcon
    Are you going to take
    everything away from her?
[25:56] Saeko
    Then what do you want me to do?
[25:57] Falcon
    I don't know!
[26:04] Ryo
    Well, one thing I know is that it'll take
    more than half-assed intentions to save her.
[26:55] Doc
    So what's the plan with that Miki girl?
[27:00] Doc
    You're not just going to leave her, are you?
[27:05] Ryo
    It's what she wants that matters the most.
[27:12] Doc
    I wonder what Kaori would have done.
[27:17] Doc
    She and her brother Makimura-kun must have
    been happy being City Hunter with you.
[27:25] Doc
    You're the only City Hunter left now, huh?
[27:32] Ryo
    You don't need to tell me that.
[27:44] (Flashback) Kaori
    Hey, Ryo...
[27:46] (Flashback) Kaori
    There's one thing I want to talk
    to you about before we get married.
[27:52] (Flashback) Ryo
    What's that?
[27:54] (Flashback) Kaori
    I've decided not to have kids.
[27:59] (Flashback) Kaori
    City Hunter's a deadly job.
[28:03] (Flashback) Kaori
    If we died, our kids might have
    to go through a lot of loneliness.
[28:12] (Flashback) Ryo
    Are you sure about that?
[28:15] (Flashback) Kaori
    Yeah.
[28:16] (Flashback) Kaori
    But with that said, there's something
    I want you to promise me.
[28:36] (Flashback) Kaori
    To care for someone and to take
    a step forward for someone.
[28:44] (Flashback) Kaori
    That's
[28:48] (Flashback) Kaori
    probably what it means to live.
[29:13] Miki
    Mommy?
[29:31] Xiang Ying
    Where are you going?
[29:32] Miki
    Home.
[29:34] Miki
    Mommy might come back.
[29:44] Xiang Ying
    Wait.
[30:01] Saeko
    I still think we should tell her the truth.
[30:04] Falcon
    We can't.
[30:06] Xin-Hong
    So is she just going to be alone from now on?
[30:08] Falcon
    We can't do that, either.
[30:16] Ryo
    What's up, Doc?
[30:20] Ryo
    What?
[30:25] Falcon
    Xiang Ying and Miki are
    missing from the hospital.
[30:32] Miki
    Mommy!
[30:57] Xiang Ying
    What are you doing?
[31:00] Miki
    Looking at the stars.
[31:03] Xiang Ying
    The stars?
[31:14] Miki
    Are you okay?
[31:18] (Flashback) Miki
    Mommy, are you going to work tomorrow, too?
[31:22] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Yeah.
[31:23] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    So I might be home late.
[31:33] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Sorry, Miki.
[31:35] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    I'm making you lonely.
[31:39] (Flashback) Miki
    I'm not lonely.
[31:41] (Flashback) Miki
    I'll be watching my favorite
    stars while I wait.
[31:46] (Flashback) Sato-chan
    Miki.
[31:56] Miki
    Mommy must be out there,
    watching the same stars.
[32:07] Miki
    But I can't see them
[32:13] Miki
    anymore.
[32:44] Ryo
    Aren't you going in?
[32:50] Falcon
    I don't know.
[32:55] Falcon
    What kind of face does she have on right now?
[33:02] Falcon
    What do I say to her?
[33:49] Miki
    I know the truth.
[33:54] Miki
    Mommy doesn't exist anymore.
[34:04] (Flashback) A
    Thank you, Miki-chan.
[34:07] (Flashback) A
    Is your mom home yet?
[34:10] (Flashback) Miki
    Nope.
[34:11] (Flashback) A
    Oh.
[34:13] (Flashback) Miki
    Okay, see you.
[34:15] (Flashback) A
    Thanks for the food.
[34:16] (Flashback) A
    Bye-bye.
[34:21] (Flashback) B
    That girl isn't that woman's kid, is she?
[34:26] (Flashback) C
    That woman?
[34:27] (Flashback) B
    Remember?
[34:29] (Flashback) B
    I told you about how that woman I met at
    my temp job who passed away six months ago.
[34:35] (Flashback) B
    She told me she had a daughter,
    Miki, who was turning ten.
[34:42] (Flashback) C
    It's got to be someone else.
[34:44] (Flashback) C
    Miki's a common name.
[34:53] Miki
    It's not Mommy.
[34:56] Miki
    My mommy's coming home soon.
[35:02] Miki
    But, but...
[35:06] Miki
    Mommy!
[35:07] ---
    Mommy! Mommy!
[35:28] ---
    Mommy! Mommy!
[35:51] Ryo
    She'll understand someday.
[35:55] Ryo
    Her mother is with her
    forever, inside of her.
[36:10] Miki
    Mommy?
[36:14] Miki
    Welcome home.
[36:15] Miki
    I missed you.
[36:18] Sato-chan
    Sorry, Miki.
[36:21] Miki
    Don't leave me anymore.
[36:25] Sato-chan
    Be a good girl.
[36:27] Sato-chan
    Promise?
[36:28] Miki
    I'm coming with you.
[36:30] Miki
    I want to be with you.
[36:34] Sato-chan
    I'm with you here.
[36:43] Sato-chan
    No matter how tough life gets,
    or when sad things happen,
[36:49] Sato-chan
    I'll always, always be with you.
[36:54] Sato-chan
    I was already right here with you.
[36:59] Sato-chan
    And I always will be.
[37:02] Miki
    Mommy, are you really with me?
[37:07] Miki
    You're always going to be with me?
[37:18] Miki
    Mommy.
[37:28] (Flashback) Miki
    What the puppy had found in the
    hollow of the dark was a star.
[37:32] (Flashback) Miki
    The star blinked, as if to
    offer the puppy a conversation.
[37:38] (Flashback) Miki
    "Don't worry, you're not alone."
[37:44] (Flashback) Miki
    Tears filled the puppy's eyes, and it
    looked as though the star was smiling.
[37:52] (Flashback) Miki
    The star continued:
[37:54] (Flashback) Miki
    "Thanks for finding me."
[37:59] (Flashback) Miki
    Neither the puppy nor the
    star were lonely anymore.
[38:06] (Flashback) Miki
    Forever and ever, they talked,
    giving no notice to the passing time.
[38:23] Falcon
    Are they out?
[38:26] Falcon
    Are the stars out right now?
[38:32] Ryo
    No, they aren't.
[38:38] Ryo
    Not to me.
[38:56] Xin-Hong
    I'm just glad you're both safe.
[38:59] Ryo
    So the rumor was true.
[39:02] Ryo
    Umibozu found happiness
    in meeting Miki-chan.
[39:09] Ryo
    All that's left is Miki-chan herself.
[39:13] Xin-Hong
    I guess the question is whether or not
    Miki-chan intends to leave the room.
[39:21] Ryo
    I don't think she'll obsess
    about that place anymore.
[39:27] Xiang Ying
    Her mother is inside her.
[39:36] Saeko
    You wouldn't believe how painfully
    obvious that is to me.
[39:41] Saeko
    Every damn morning, I stand in front
    of the mirror, and there's my mom.
[39:48] Saeko
    I noticed it one day after I'd grown up.
[39:53] Saeko
    That my face in the mirror is just like
    the one I'd seen of my mother as a child.
[40:01] Saeko
    Family is strange, isn't it?
[40:03] Saeko
    The older you get, the more
    like your parents you become.
[40:09] Saeko
    Not just your face, either.
[40:11] Saeko
    Even your mannerisms and behaviors.
[40:16] Saeko
    Just kidding.
[40:19] Saeko
    You know, though, her mother's
    watching over her from within her.
[40:32] Saeko
    Miki-chan must have felt that way, too.
[40:36] Saeko
    Right, Ryo?
[40:38] Ryo
    Who knows?
[41:29] (Flashback) Ryo
    She'll understand someday.
[41:32] (Flashback) Ryo
    Her mother is with her
    forever, inside of her.
[42:00] (Flashback) Falcon
    It's about time, isn't it?
[42:04] (Flashback) Falcon
    For City Hunter to come back.
[42:07] (Flashback) Ryo
    That's not even funny.
[42:10] (Flashback) Ryo
    It's too late for that.
[42:11] (Flashback) Saeko
    Is there something else you can do?
[42:14] (Flashback) Saeko
    You're the only City Hunter left now, huh?
[42:18] (Flashback) Xiang Ying
    My heart—
[42:23] (Flashback) Xiang Ying
    Kaori—
[42:28] (Flashback) Kaori
    wants you to move on.
[42:35] (Flashback) Kaori
    ...and go forward.
[42:39] (Flashback) Kaori
    I've decided not to have kids.
[42:44] (Flashback) Ryo
    Are you sure about that?
[42:47] (Flashback) Kaori
    Yeah.
[42:48] (Flashback) Kaori
    But with that said, there's something
    I want you to promise me.
[42:56] (Flashback) Kaori
    I want to watch over the
    people of this town.
[43:02] (Flashback) Kaori
    So let's not ever stop.
[43:06] (Flashback) Kaori
    City Hunter.
[43:11] (Flashback) Ryo
    Hey, Kaori.
[43:13] (Flashback) ---
    Wait—
[43:18] Ryo
    You're right, Kaori.
[43:37] Falcon
    How about it?
[43:38] Falcon
    Can you see them?
[43:41] Miki
    No.
[43:52] Falcon
    Can you see them?
[43:53] Miki
    No.
[43:55] Miki
    It's the sunset.
[43:56] Miki
    It's really pretty!
[44:00] Falcon
    Tell me, what's the sunset like?
[44:04] Miki
    It's huge.
[44:06] Miki
    And it's bright red.
[44:08] Miki
    The sky, the clouds—bright red.
[44:12] Falcon
    The sunset, huh?
[44:14] Falcon
    It's been a while.
[44:20] Falcon
    I'd forgotten there was even such a thing.
[44:24] Falcon
    Thank you, Miki.
[44:31] Falcon
    For reminding me of something precious.
[44:35] Falcon
    For letting me see such a beautiful sunset.
[44:55] Falcon
    Would you be my eyes going forward?
[45:02] Falcon
    Stay by my side.
[45:05] Falcon
    Tell me when you see the stars,
[45:09] Falcon
    how big they are, what color they are.
[45:15] Miki
    Maybe we can see them.
[45:18] Falcon
    If not today, tomorrow.
[45:22] Falcon
    If not tomorrow, the day after.
[45:26] Falcon
    Forever going forward.
[45:30] Falcon
    Let's promise to see the stars
[45:39] Falcon
    together someday.
[45:43] ---
    Yup.
SIGN    This drama is a work of fiction.
[45:50] Suave dork
    Please find who this heart belongs to.
[45:53] Ryo
    What? What?
[45:54] Ryo
    Just who are you?
[45:56] Kaori
    Thank you.
[45:58] Xiang Ying
    Kaori's happy.
[46:01] Ryo
    I thought it was a miracle.
