NagisaYou sure look like you're deep in thought. What's on your mind?
Oh, I was just thinking about something Miyazawa said. Remember the thing about the old town legend? She said that whenever someone achieves true happiness, an orb of light appears. Of course, I don't know if the legend is true or not, but it makes me wonder if we have one of those orbs of light hovering around us right now. She also said if you can manage to catch one of those lights, you'll have a wish granted. If you got one, what would you wish?
Nagisa
I don't know. I don't need anything.
Nagisa
Well, there's nothing I can think of, at least. Actually, there might be one thing.
Really? What is it then? If you tell me, then I'll buy it for you.
Nagisa
I think I want a baby. You think that could ever happen?
At last, my Nagisa photo collection is complete!
You're nuts, old man. When did you take all these?
Let's just say I ate enough of those chocolate diamond whatever parfaits to kill a man! Sure wasn't easy. Sometimes, I crawled on the floor, other times, I hid in the kitchen or clung form the ceiling or stood on my head to get just the right angle.
I'm surprised they didn't kick you out.
Anyway, where did our little ladies run off to? I wanna show them the fruits of my labor.
Dunno. Nagisa said she needed to talk to Sanae about something important before we came. But wait, you mean you're gonna show them these?
Nagisa
Sorry, guys. Just a little nauseous
Nauseous huh? What are you pregnant or something?
Hit a soft spot, huh? Sorry kid, if you had any balls, she'd have a bun in the oven already.
She does, we just found out.
I'm not talking about baking.
Nagisa and Tomoya are having a child. Congratulations.
Wait, Sanae! When you say they're having a child, you mean a stork came to visit them, or they picked it up in a cabbage patch, or a fairy god mother granted their wish, or something!
Nagisa
No Dad. That's not how it works. Tomoya and I are married now, so we....uh..mm
[Thinking] What? Nagisa, no. Don't say it.
Nagisa
We have sex and sex makes babies!
[Thinking] It's takes a special kind of girl to say that to her parents. Actually, it takes a special kind of human to say that at all. You're one in a million, Nagisa.
She hasn't had her period in two months. I think it's safe to say it's for real.
You little creep! You're dead! [Growling noise] I mean, congratulations, kid.
Nagisa
I love the breeze. It feels so nice and cool. (Gasp) The baby just moved!
Nagisa
Yah. It's a weird feeling, like it's sliding around in there.
Nagisa
Guess we'd better come up with a name, huh?
Yeah. I haven't thought about it much, but we need a boy's name and a girl's name, don't we?
Nagisa
Either way, how about we take a character from your name, Tomoya?
Nah, it doesn't matter to me. Besides, it'll have my last name either way. Let's take something from your name instead. How about that?
Nagisa
But, my name's kind of hard to work with, so it'll end up sounding silly. Like Nagisako or Nagisami or something like that.
Well, okay. Nagisa means shore, right? So, how about we think of a name that has an ocean thing?
Nagisa
Oh, good idea... In that case, how about... Ushio? We can use the character for tide.
Nagisa
Yup. Strong and fearless, the rising and falling ocean waves. The endless ebb and flow of the tide. Perfect, right? And best of all, it works whether it's a girl or a boy.
So it's Ushio Okazaki, huh?
Nagisa
A lot of things happened in life. Some of them good and some of them bad. But, no matter what, the tide will always come back to the shores again and again. And so I'll stand by watching, just as the shores watch the tide come and go.
So you're saying that tides are bigger and stronger than the shore?
Nagisa
Of course. They travel the whole ocean.
And like the ocean, I hope our child isn't just strong. I hope it's as kind and nurturing as the deepest waters. Don't you agree?
Nagisa
Yah. I hope so, too.
We couldn't go to the beach this summer after all, huh?
Nagisa
I know. It's a shame, isn't it? I really wanted to go to the beach with you.
All right, then, let's make a promise.
Nagisa
A promise?
Yeah, we're going to come to the beach with Ushio next year no matter what. It's a promise.
Nagisa
A promise...
Uh-huh. You promise, right? Nagisa?
Nagisa
Yah, of course. I promise.
[Tomoya is back to the day when Nagisa and he first met. Nagisa is walking away behind him. Tomoya turns around.]
[Nagisa keeps on walking while Tomoya gets worried then drops his bag and runs straight towards her.]
[Nagisa turns around when Tomoya comes and Tomoya embraces her.]
Nagisa! I'm right here! Don't leave me!
NNagisa
You had me worried. For a second there, I was afraid you wouldn't talk to me.
NNagisa
At first, you didn't say anything. I was starting to think you'd keep walking away, like you wish we never met in the first place. I hope that wasn't true though.
[Tomoya then embraces her by giving another hug]
NNagisa
Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. You made me so happy.
NNagisa
I don't want you to be lost or afraid or anything like that. From here on out, I know things might be too hard sometimes, but no matter what, please don't ever regret the time we spent together. Is that too much to ask?
[Tomoya touches her face while Nagisa smiles then begins to cry.]
I won't regret a thing. Thank you.
[Tomoya takes her hand and gives it a kiss then hugs her again.]
NNagisa
If you like shall I take you to a place in town where wishes come true?
TRTomoya and robot
Ah... My long journey has finally come to an end...
[Ushio cries after birth. Tomoya wakes up seeing where he is then looks down to see him holding Nagisa's hand.]
[Nagisa lays there still while Tomoya thinks she died again and having flashbacks when she died in the previous time.]
[Tomoya begins to cry. Nagisa wakes up seeing where she is then sees Tomoya next to her and smiles.]
NNagisa
Is something wrong, Tomoya? You look upset.
We're really... We're really together now right?
NNagisa
Of course we are, we'll always be together. Just like we promised over and over again, I'm not going anywhere.
That's right, just like we said.
YYagi
Okazaki, you don't need to worry the health of the baby or the mother. [To Nagisa] Good job. Congratulations.
[To Tomoya] Congragulations to you, too. You did good.
Tomoya? How would you like to give little Ushio her first bath?
YYagi
Support her head with your right hand. Cover her ears so she doesn't get any water in them. That's right. Nice and slow. Does that feel good, Ushio? Now don't dip her head in just yet. You need to wipe her down with gauze first. There you go. Daddy's getting you all clean. Aren't you a happy baby?
NNagisa
[After Tomoya gives Ushio her first bath.] Good job, Tomoya. You did great.
Look at that, as healthy as can be!
NNagisa
When she gets bigger, I hope she's as strong as she is now.
She will be. She'll have a strong mind and strong body, too. Don't worry.
NNagisa
Okay. [Turns her head towards the window.] Hey Tomoya, look outside. Open the curtain, it's so pretty.
TATomoya, Akio, Sanae
Huh?
What? You mean the snow? No, wait. This is...
NNagisa
Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango family.
TNTomoya and Nagisa
Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango family.
[Ushio cries for joy.]'
NNagisa
Sometimes I wonder, what if this town was alive? What if it had thoughts and feelings like one of us? If it did, I think it would want to make the people who live here happy. When I look at how things have turned out for you and me, I feel like the town might have brought us together; that it might have made this miracle happen. But even if it's wonderful, I guess it's not really a miracle, is it? After all, this sort of thing happens every day. People who live here love this town, and they find happiness here all the time. Even if it doesn't have thoughts, I think this town is still alive in its own way. I think it still loves the people who live here. I've grown up in this town, all of my memories and dreams are a part of it. In a way I feel like it raised me.
So this town is like one big happy family, huh?
NNagisa
Yup, [Chuckles] a Big Dango Family.
Yeah, I think I'm finally starting to get that.
