UshioSanae-san told me the places I can cry are in the bathroom... and in daddy's arms.
[Tomoya and Ushio are on a train and are sitting near a mother and a child causing a disturbance.]
Hey.
What is it?
UshioPlay with me.
Alright. Well, what do you do with Sanae?
UshioShe reads me books.
Did you bring any books with you? [Ushio nods no.] What about with the Old Man?
UshioBaseball.
You play baseball?
UshioUh-huh. Like this. [She gets up and gets into a pretend batting stance, imitating Norihiro Komada.] Komada!
Are you doing an impression?
UshioYou mean it isn't funny?
It's not funny at all.
Ushio[Dejected] That's too bad. [She sits back down in her seat]
[Thinking] What the heck is he teaching her? [The mother and child are still making a disturbance, Tomoya then speaks aloud, irritated] Shut up! There are other people on this train, you know!
[Holding her child] I'm sorry. I'll keep him quiet.
Ugh...Dammit... [He then sees that Ushio has disappeared] Ushio? [He goes to look for her] Where the heck did she go? [He goes into another cart and sees Ushio running from out of the bathroom] Give me a break...Ushio, let me know first if you've going to the bathroom, okay? [Pause] What's wrong? [He sees her flushed face] You weren't crying, were you? [She nods no] Come on, don't lie to me.
UshioI'm not supposed to cry.
Huh? Who told you that?
UshioSanae.
Sanae? Even she can be strict, huh? Who knew?
UshioBut she said there's one place where's it's okay to cry.
And where is that?
UshioIn the bathroom.
Fair enough. I guess nobody would see you crying if you did it in the bathroom. But if you feel like crying, I don't think you should have to hold back. You should cry while you still can. When you get bigger, sometimes you can't cry...Even if you have something you want to cry about.
[Tomoya and Ushio are back on the train after a stop. Ushio is playing with a robot toy Tomoya bought for her.]
It's fine if you don't like it. [Ushio acknowledges him.] Well, I mean you'd probably rather have a girl's toy, right, instead of a robot? [Ushio nods no]
UshioGirl's toys are boring. I like robots.
Well, there's no harm, I guess. It's just a little strange. [Ushio gives him a confused look] No, never mind. Keep playing. [Thinking] Wonder if she's enjoying her summer vacation? Probably not...Since she's stuck with a guy like me...
[Ushio and Tomoya are staying at an inn. Ushio gets up, disturbing Tomoya, causing him to wake up.]
What's wrong?
UshioGotta potty. Number two.
It's dark, so be careful. [He goes back to sleep]
Ushio'Kay. [Tomoya feels bad for making her go by herself and accompanies her. Ushio goes down the stairs, into the bathroom, then out.] I did it all by myself.
Good for you... [Tomoya and Ushio are walking down a hallway and she sees a firefly outside.] So what is it this time?
UshioWhat is that thing?
Hm? [He sees the firefly] Oh, it's a firefly. You know what that is, right?
UshioI've never seen one before.
They must come out later here. [Ushio puts on a depressed face] Something wrong? [She nods no] What? Do I have something funny on my face? [She nods no again] Then stop staring at me like that. It's not very polite. [She still has the same face on] Come on, what do you want? If there's something you wanna say, then say it. [Pause] I get it. You won't talk because you're still afraid of me, aren't you? [She nods yes] Alright, out with it already! I promise I won't yell anymore, okay?
UshioI want you to tell me about my Mommy. [Tomoya is shocked by what she said]
Why don't you ask Sanae?
UshioI did, but she wouldn't say anything to me.
She wants me to tell you, huh? [Pause] Ask Sanae when we get back. Say you asked me and I wouldn't tell you anything. [He walks off]
[Tomoya comes back from the overlook with Shino to Ushio who is still looking for the toy robot in the field of flowers.]
Ushio! Did you find it? [She nods no]
Oh, is that your little girl?
Yeah, her name's Ushio. [Tomoya walks towards Ushio] Were you searching for it all this time? [She nods yes] I see. [Tomoya remembers a flashback with him and his father. He then walks over to Ushio and crouches down to her.] Ushio...I'm sorry to have to say this...But we may not be able to find it. We've done everything we can. All I can do now is buy you a new one. Okay? [She puts on a depressed face]
UshioBut that...But that was the only one...
No, there was a whole bunch of them at the store.
UshioBut that's the one you picked out. That was the robot you bought me. [Tomoya starts to understand what she is saying.] That was the first time...Daddy...[Tomoya finally realizes what she means]
Ushio? [She mumbles yes] You've been lonely, huh?
UshioUh-huh.
Did you have a fun trip, even though you were with a mean guy like me?
UshioUh-huh.
I see...Ushio...Can I...Is it okay if I stay with you?...I know...I know that I've been a bad Daddy for a long time...But from now on, I wanna work hard to take care of you Ushio. So, even if it's tough, is it okay if I stay with you?
UshioUh-huh.
You really mean it?
UshioI want you to stay.
Thank you...
UshioBut...But I'm still sad that I lost something I can't give back...[Pause] Daddy? Um...I don't...I don't have to hold it in anymore right? Just like you said on the train? Right? 'Cause Sanae she...she told me the only times I can cry are when I'm in the bathroom...or when I'm in Daddy's arms... [Tomoya gives her a positive look. They both embrace each other. Ushio begins to cry.]
I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...
[Tomoya and Ushio are riding a train back home. Ushio is sitting across from Tomoya.]
Hey, Ushio. [Ushio acknowledges him] I can tell you about Mommy if you'd like that. [She nods yes] Okay then. Then come sit over here. [She sits next to Tomoya] Now, where do I start? Back in high school, Mommy was having a tough time, so she cried a lot. That was back when we first met. She didn't believe in herself very much. I remember she was standing at the bottom of the hill of our high school. Do you know what she did when she was standing there that morning? She closed her eyes and she said "Anpan!" That was a funny habit Mommy had. When she was afraid, she would say what she wanted to eat out loud and it would make her brave again. Back then, Sanae was always busy with work and didn't have time to make lunch for Mommy. Of course, Mommy would have been happy if she had Sanae's food. And maybe Sanae could make time if she had to, but Mommy was too nice to ask her. That's what your Mommy was like. Really sweet. Let's see...What else? Uh, she uh...Uh, your Mommy...Mommy was...[He begins to cry, remembering memories of Nagisa] Nagisa...Nagisa...Nagisa... [Ushio tugs on his sleeve as she begins to cry.]
UshioDaddy?
Silly! Why are you crying, too? [He wipes away her tears] Sorry, it's nothing bad. I was just thinking of Mommy. [He stops wiping] Okay, let's get back to the story. Back in high school, Mommy was really excited about putting on a play. Have you ever seen a play before? [Thinking] Nagisa, I've found it. I finally found it. Something only I can protect. A precious treasure only I can protect. It was right here. Right in front of me...all along...
[Tomoya and Ushio are in their apartment with Fuko over and are about to play cards.]
Anyway, let's play cards! So what's your game of choice, Ushio? Blackjack? Poker, maybe? Gin Rummy?
You realize you're talking to a five-year old, right?
I didn't think of that. I guess I'm so mature and sophisticated that I end up suggesting adult games without realizing it.
[Groans] Ushio, are there any games you can play?
UshioI know Sevens.
[Joyful] What an enchanting choice, Ushio! That's a perfectly splendid game!
Sophisticated, huh?
[Scene cuts to the three playing the card game.]
Hey, Okazaki, you have the ten of hearts right now, don't you?
Let's just say I have a whole handful of cards I could use. [Short pause] Alright, Ushio, you're up next.
Ushio[Plays card] This one!
Thanks, Ushio! That's just the card I needed. Now I'm back in the game and ready to get my revenge!
Shoot! And I tried so hard to block her!
Okazaki's evil scheme has been thwarted and Ushio's proven once and for all that she loves Fuko best!
Get over yourself! [Both Tomoya and Fuko chuckle. Tomoya is looking at the picture of Nagisa behind Fuko.]
[Thinking] If only you were still alive...
[Tomoya thinks of what happens if Nagisa is still alive and Tomoya, Nagisa and Ushio play cards together until Fuko trys to get his attention.]'
Okazaki? Okazaki!
Huh? Oh. Sorry. Guess it's my turn, huh?
I'm sorry if this is hard on you, Okazaki...I don't mean to bring up memories of your wife...
[Annoyed] I told you, you're nothing like her!
Then what kind of person was she? If she wasn't like me, she must have been immature, right?
I'm not sure if it's possible to be less mature than you are.
She died when Ushio was born, right? So she never got to meet her?
Yeah. She (Ushio) only know what she looks like from pictures.
UshioYeah, but I still know lots of stuff about her 'cause Daddy told me.
[Chuckles] Now you've got me curious. What kind of was she?
UshioLet's see...Well, she was kind of a crybaby, but she always did her best and worked real hard to have me. [Tomoya starts having memories of Nagisa and starts to tear up.] And I also know that Daddy loved her very much.
I, um...
[Wiping his tears] Sorry. I still think about her sometimes.
I have a lot of free time, so you can call me whenever you like.
Huh?
All you have to do is ask and I'll be here. I'll help you in any way I can, okay?
I have to admit I didn't expect sympathy from you.
I wasn't trying to be sympathetic. I just want an excuse to play with Ushio.
[Groans] Of course.
Tomorrow's the day, isn't it?
That's right. The grudge match we've all been waiting for.
Ushio, are you looking forward to the big race?
What's wrong, Ushio?
UshioI tried to, but I couldn't do it by myself...
Huh? Come on! What's wrong?! She's burning up!
[Tomoya and Ushio are walking to the train station, on a trip. Snow is falling.]
Can you walk Ushio? Would you like to take a break?
[She shakes her head] Uh-uh.
Let's take a cab before the snow starts getting worse. Let me carry you.
UshioI'm fine.
[They start walking, and Ushio's steps begin to slow as her breath gets heavier. She begins to drag her feet when she trips and nearly collapses.]
Ushio! [Tomoya quickly grabs her, breaking her fall.]
UshioDaddy...
Ushio, I'm right here. What is it?
UshioDid we... make it? Are we on the train yet?
Yeah, we made it on the train.
UshioIt's dark. Is it night?
It sure is. It's getting late.
UshioOh... Daddy?
Hmm?
UshioI love you.
Yeah. Daddy loves you too, Ushio, very much.
[Ushio smiles, and then closes her eyes. Her body becomes limp.]
Ushio? Ushio!? USHIO!!!
[Tomoya has several flashbacks, albeit very few, of the time he and Ushio spent together. He continues to cry.]
No! Anything but this! Nagisa! Please save Ushio! NAGISA! Someone... Someone help! Help her! Nagisa...
