Yano needs to be shot
- So Yano's parents are getting divorced. His mum is moving away from the town they're in. Yano is debating whther or not to go with her or to stay with Nana.
- They tell each other that they really love each other. Yano really doesn't want to leave her. But she tells him that no matter what his decision is, she'll be okay with it.
- And that he should choose whatever is most important for him.
- Also deals with the univs they want to get into and them working hard to raise their grades.
- - But despite what he's told her, he plans to leave with his mom. He can't let her be on her own. She needs him. He figures that Nana is strong enough to cope with it.
- His friend tells him that he's treating Nana unfairly and that he should tell her. 'Or are you going to pretend that you can't hear Nana's silent "Please don't go"?'
Or is it that you're trying to give her time?
- He doesn't really explain.
- They have a few very painful scenes between them. With 'what if I...' kinda conversations. What if we run off together kinda thing.
- They hug and realize that both wish for the same thing. "I wish for Yano's wishes to come true. and Yano wishes for my wishes to come true. So let's entrust the future with our futures.'
- He tells her he's going to Tokyo with his mom. They go on a farewell trip together for a night to a ryokan.
- At the end of the trip they promise to meet at the end of the year in Tokyo.
- She turns down Takeuchi.
- At the train station when he's leaving: Wherever you are... however lonely you are... however painful it is... Don't forget that I'm here for you. Don't forget that you'll never be alone.
- He whispers something in her ear. :
The plus/minuses were not equal to zero. They equalled a plus.
- Train goes off. She runs down the platform crying and he looks out of the window like he wants to go back. His mother calls him to sit next to her.
- They show a flashback of all their scenes together.
Epilogue - Exact narr spoken by Nana: Please God, protect him. Give him strength so that no matter what, he does not lose. He does not get crushed. Give him the strenght to stand up again no matter how many times he cries and how many hurdles he runs into.
May the people he meet be warm. Please protect him. that is my wish. My prayer.
I met him when we were 15. I pursued him. Was rejected. Ran after him some more. We separated at 17. The realities that he had to face were bigger than him. Could anyone truly blame him for the choices he made?
Today I turn 21. I continue to hope for the impossible. That someday he'll come to take me away. Because that was the last day I ever saw him.
- The End -
