[00:04] ---
Tohru! We're here to escort you home.
[00:07] ---
Escort me home?
[00:21] ---
Toh--
[00:27] ---
My legs started running from
Kyo-kun without my mind's input.
[00:33] ---
How odd. This isn't right.
It's not what I planned...
[00:39] ---
When I saw him again, I was--
[00:43] ---
--supposed to smile.
[00:47] ---
To-Tohru?
[00:50] ---
I had a plan.
[00:56] ---
--He got dumped, huh?
--He got dumped.
[01:01] ---
You're crushing me here.
[01:08] ---
No, this is no good at all.
[01:12] ---
After I understood that everything's over,
[01:17] ---
that there's no role for me anymore...
[01:23] ---
"Soma General Hospital"
[01:26] ---
After that...
[01:28] ---
If you need anything else,
just say the word, okay?
[01:32] ---
I will, thank you!
[01:35] ---
Are you okay?
[01:36] ---
Of course! I'm fit as a fiddle!
[01:41] ---
Listen, about Kyo...
[01:45] ---
He's...
[01:51] ---
--I'm sorry!
--Stop--careful of your head!
[01:53] ---
I-Is everything all right at home?
[01:56] ---
Has a lot of laundry piled up?
[01:59] ---
What about cleaning?
[02:00] ---
--Have you run out of
spare toilet paper rolls? Or...
[02:04] ---
--My chest hurts.
--Have you run out of
spare toilet paper rolls? Or...
[02:07] ---
I'm disappointed in you.
[02:10] ---
It hurts. It hurts.
[02:13] ---
Just hearing his name
is like a knife to my chest.
[02:20] ---
I'm no good like this.
[02:23] ---
I have to get over it,
not just dwell on it forever.
[02:28] ---
Or I'll cause everyone trouble.
[02:33] ---
Even Kyo.
[02:35] ---
That's... not acceptable.
[02:41] ---
Smile... Smile...
[02:44] ---
Smile!
[02:46] ---
I decided I'd smile
the next time I saw him.
[02:54] ---
I even did some training...
but... it was a wasted effort.
[03:01] ---
I'm just no good.
[03:06] ---
I wasn't lying when
I told myself it was okay...
[03:12] ---
I decided it'd be okay
if I weren't by his side,
[03:17] ---
and I steeled myself, but...
[03:24] ---
I want to be at his side.
Not being able to makes me sad.
[03:32] ---
I'm sad!
[03:35] ---
P-Please, wait... a little while...
[03:40] ---
I can't control them well enough.
[03:44] ---
I'll be ready in a sec!
[03:46] ---
Stop! Stop, tears, stop!
[03:52] ---
I don't want to upset him.
I don't want him to hate me.
[03:57] ---
I don't want him...
[04:01] ---
...to be more disappointed in me.
[04:06] ---
I was completely selfish, wasn't I?
[04:11] ---
I just confessed my own sins,
said everything I wanted to say...
[04:17] ---
...and ignored your feelings.
[04:22] ---
And then I ran even though I knew
that sometimes in this world,
[04:27] ---
you never get the chance to see
someone again to apologize.
[04:33] ---
I thought I knew...
[04:37] ---
...but if I'm just gonna repeat history...
[04:40] ---
...it's no better than not knowing.
[04:46] ---
I'm sorry I made you cry.
[04:49] ---
I'm sorry I hurt you so much.
[04:53] ---
This is the last time.
[04:55] ---
I'm fine with that.
I don't need another one after this.
[05:00] ---
Will you give me one last chance?
[05:04] ---
I want to be with you.
[05:08] ---
If I'm going to keep living,
I want to do it with you.
[05:14] ---
You're the only one I want.
[05:16] ---
Because I love you.
[05:25] ---
D-Does that mean...
[05:29] ---
You'll let me stay by your side?
[05:36] ---
I-I can hold your hand, and be with you?
[05:45] ---
You're already holding it.
[05:52] ---
Even if it's been said dozens,
hundreds, thousands of times...
[05:57] ---
Even if the words are a worn-out cliché...
[06:01] ---
This really is...
[06:06] ---
...like a dream.
[06:14] ---
Kyo-kun.
[06:20] ---
Just so you know,
that was our second kiss.
[06:24] ---
Huh?! Wha... Wh-When did...?!
[06:26] ---
Figures she doesn't remember.
[06:29] ---
Remember it on your own, okay?
[06:32] ---
Or else I'll be lonely, you know?
[06:35] ---
Okay!
[06:40] ---
Can I... hug you?
[06:44] ---
I know I'll stop being human, but...
[06:49] ---
And being together means sometimes
you'll suffer because of my weird body--
[06:55] ---
Kyo-kun.
[06:58] ---
Don't you know?
[07:01] ---
I...
[07:04] ---
...love you, Kyo-kun.
[07:07] ---
I love you.
[07:10] ---
This love is totally invincible.
[07:18] ---
Oh.
[07:20] ---
In that case... maybe I'm invincible, too?
[07:25] ---
Nothing to be afraid of now, huh?
[07:30] ---
Not if you're here.
[07:58] ---
Goodbye.
[08:02] ---
I was jealous of you,
is what it boils down to.
[08:09] ---
Because you're so pure and pretty
compared to me.
[08:16] ---
I'm not, though.
[08:20] ---
Please don't sort people into categories
based on things like that,
[08:25] ---
and use them to keep your distance.
[08:29] ---
If you think I'm pure,
then so are you, Akito-san.
[08:38] ---
When you sobbed that
you were lonely and scared,
[08:42] ---
you were so innocent and pure,
it was heartbreaking.
[08:47] ---
I'm someone who is trying
to destroy the world you want.
[08:54] ---
Whether it's "right" or "wrong"
doesn't matter--
[09:00] ---
It doesn't change the fact
that I'm hurting you a lot.
[09:06] ---
But...
[09:08] ---
But I'd still like to keep
being your friend, Akito-san.
[09:17] ---
I'd like you to be my friend.
[09:25] ---
You're so persistent.
[09:33] ---
There'll be...
[09:39] ---
There'll be time enough later to believe
in "new meetings" and "beginnings," right?
[09:49] ---
Once upon a time,
a certain person lived on a mountain.
[09:55] ---
They had been alone
for a very, very long time.
[10:01] ---
They knew that many people lived
at the foot of the mountain.
[10:07] ---
But they were alone.
[10:11] ---
They knew that their vast power,
long life, and vast memory
[10:19] ---
made them different from other people.
[10:23] ---
They were afraid of people.
[10:28] ---
They were afraid of being hurt.
[10:33] ---
They were afraid of themselves,
[10:36] ---
for having such great power
yet being so different from the crowd.
[10:42] ---
And then one day, a cat came to visit.
[10:49] ---
They were bewildered
at their sudden visitor,
[10:53] ---
but the cat bowed its head
respectfully and said,
[10:57] ---
"I have been observing you for some time.
[11:01] ---
You are a deeply mysterious personage.
I cannot help feeling drawn to you.
[11:08] ---
I am a mere stray cat, but I pray
you will let me be by your side.
[11:15] ---
Please, o God."
[11:19] ---
The cat was faithful to its words,
and never left the person's side.
[11:27] ---
Not even for a moment.
[11:31] ---
This made God very happy,
and so God had an idea:
[11:37] ---
"Perhaps those who are
also 'different from humans'
[11:41] ---
would be willing to be my friends.
[11:45] ---
Perhaps I could hold
an enjoyable banquet
[11:49] ---
with those who understand my feelings."
[11:53] ---
God wrote many, many invitations.
[11:59] ---
God sent them all.
[12:03] ---
And in response,
12 creatures came to see God.
[12:10] ---
After that, God and the 13 animals
[12:14] ---
held a banquet every moonlit night.
[12:19] ---
They sang and danced.
God laughed aloud for the first time.
[12:26] ---
The moon quietly watched over the banquets
shared by those who are different.
[12:33] ---
But one night, the cat collapsed.
[12:39] ---
Its life span was running out.
There was nothing to be done.
[12:45] ---
They all cried.
[12:48] ---
They all knew:
[12:53] ---
Everyone would eventually die,
and the banquets would end.
[13:00] ---
No matter how fun they were,
or how dazzlingly precious they felt,
[13:05] ---
one day, they'd...
[13:08] ---
God chanted a spell and traced
a circle around a saké cup.
[13:15] ---
They fed the dying cat a sip
as they said to the others,
[13:22] ---
"Here and now, I shall make
the bonds between us eternal.
[13:28] ---
Even after we die, we shall remain
connected through eternal bonds.
[13:36] ---
No matter how many times
we die and are reborn,
[13:42] ---
we'll hold banquets just like this."
[13:46] ---
"We shall stay unchanging
for eternity, friends forever."
[13:54] ---
Everyone nodded firmly, and then the rat
sipped first from the oath cup,
[14:00] ---
followed by the ox, the tiger,
the rabbit, and the rest in order.
[14:10] ---
As the final animal,
the boar, finished drinking...
[14:14] ---
...the cat feebly wept.
[14:19] ---
"God, o God, why did you
make me drink that?
[14:25] ---
I don't need or want eternity."
[14:32] ---
Those words were shocking.
[14:36] ---
God and the other animals
interpreted them as a rejection.
[14:42] ---
They all grew sad.
They all rebuked and admonished the cat.
[14:50] ---
Still, the cat said,
[14:53] ---
"God, o God, let us accept that
things end, even when that scares us.
[15:00] ---
Let us accept mortality,
even when it makes us lonely."
[15:06] ---
"God, I was fortunate to be with you
for even a moment."
[15:14] ---
"If we are able to meet again
after our deaths and rebirths,
[15:19] ---
then I want to meet a you
who smiles not only in the moonlight,
[15:26] ---
but in the light of the sun, too.
[15:30] ---
Next time, I want to meet a you
who smiles not only with us,
[15:36] ---
but among humans, too."
[15:40] ---
With a final flick of its tail,
the cat fell down and died.
[15:47] ---
But no one paid the cat any mind now.
[15:52] ---
They were too preoccupied with
the feeling that it had betrayed them.
[15:58] ---
After a while, the other animals
began to die one by one.
[16:04] ---
When the dragon died,
God was all alone once more.
[16:13] ---
And then, at long last,
God's death came as well.
[16:21] ---
But God was not afraid,
[16:25] ---
because the promise they had made
gave God strength.
[16:31] ---
"I'll hold another banquet."
[16:34] ---
"I'll hold banquet after
banquet, forever unchanging..."
[16:41] ---
"I may be lonely right now,
[16:47] ---
but everyone is waiting for me
on the other side of that promise."
[16:54] ---
That was in the long-distant past...
[16:58] ---
The original memory,
forgotten by everyone.
[17:04] ---
The original promise.
[17:08] ---
It's all right now...
[17:12] ---
...isn't it, Father?
[17:17] ---
It's okay for me to stop
being special or a god,
[17:22] ---
and become just me, isn't it?
[17:27] ---
For me to start "my" life?
[17:32] ---
I... I'm...
[17:36] ---
...hurt, and scared...
[17:41] ---
...and I don't really have
any good points, but...
[17:46] ---
Goodbye.
[17:51] ---
Mine.
[17:53] ---
Mine...
[17:55] ---
Here I am! What's up?
[17:58] ---
You want more tea? What kind do you want?
[18:01] ---
Wait a little longer
for lunch though, okay?
[18:09] ---
Manager?
[18:12] ---
Mine...
[18:14] ---
I was born to love you.
[18:21] ---
I can finally say that.
[18:27] ---
Goodbye, everyone.
[18:31] ---
Wh-What's wrong?!
[18:33] ---
Ritsu, are you all right? Are you hurt?!
[18:38] ---
Goodbyes make us lonely.
[18:42] ---
Very lonely.
[18:47] ---
They say "partings begin new meetings,"
[18:51] ---
and "beginnings happen
because of endings."
[18:56] ---
Clichés like that...
[19:01] ---
It's lonelier than you'd think, huh?
[19:08] ---
I don't want to hear them right now.
[19:13] ---
Please, cry with me.
[19:17] ---
If there's nothing we can do about this,
[19:22] ---
then for now,
I just want you to cry with me.
[19:28] ---
A full-body wail.
[19:31] ---
Venting all our feelings.
[19:36] ---
We lost what we had,
and there are no guarantees...
[19:43] ---
Cry for the terror of
living in this world again.
[19:49] ---
Huh. So this is what it feels like.
[19:55] ---
Clinging to a tiny speck of hope...
[19:59] ---
I want you to at least...
[20:02] ---
...cry, and cry, and cry with me.
[20:08] ---
Like we cried when we were
first born into this world.
[20:16] ---
Goodbye.
[20:19] ---
Goodbye.
[20:22] ---
Goodbye.
[20:31] ---
Goodbye.
[22:08] ---
When did they become a "curse"?
[22:13] ---
When did they become a "burden"?
[22:18] ---
Those were happy days.
[22:22] ---
We didn't want to part.
[22:26] ---
Surely there was love there, and yet...
[22:32] ---
Time passed, people changed, and they
became simply a source of suffering.
[22:40] ---
I'm sorry.
[22:43] ---
I'm so sorry.
[22:47] ---
But...
[22:49] ---
...even after the promise wore thin
and lost its original shape,
[22:56] ---
you all carried it with you.
[23:00] ---
So what I want to tell you most...
[23:06] ---
...is thank you.
[23:09] ---
Thank you.
[23:12] ---
"Soma"
[23:12] ---
That was in the long-distant past...
[23:16] ---
The original memory,
forgotten by everyone.
[23:31] ---
It would be a long, long time before
the cat's words finally came true.
[23:44] ---
"You Fought Well"
[23:46] ---
You fought well.
[23:50] ---
[23:52] ---
