[Tomoya is storming down an alley after visiting his father with Nagisa chasing after him]
Tomoya! Wait! Hold on! Come back! [Tomoya is holding his wrist with one arm, restraining it.] Tomoya... [Tomoya then punches a nearby wall] Stop it! What are you doing?! [Nagisa takes his fist away from the wall, revealing it to be badly bruised. Tomoya then forces Nagisa to let go of him. He pauses and then prepares to punch the wall again with the same fist.] Tomoya! Tomoya! Stop! Tomoya! Tomoya! [Tomoya then is forced by Nagisa to turn around, revealing her crying face. Tomoya then falls to his knees with Nagisa.] Does...your hand hurt...?
It'll hurt if you take a bath...
Probably so...[Pause] Nagisa?
For as long as we've been together, I've known you were the only one. I mean it.
Even if I'm like this? Even though...I'm so pathetic?...
It's fine. I'm pathetic, too. But...I think if we're together...we can grow stronger...
[Embraces Nagisa] Then you...you'll stay with me?
Yes...Of course I'll stay with you...No matter what happens...Forever and ever...
[Akio comes out into the park where it is raining and Tomoya is practicing his swings with a baseball bat. Nagisa is standing by the side.]
Sure is coming down hard. Guess it's another rainy autumn, huh? [Sanae stands by Nagisa's side.] Hit or miss, this is the last pitch you're gonna get. Ready? [Tomoya nods affirmatively then gets in his batting stance. Akio pitches the ball, in which Tomoya finally hits.]
Home run! [Tomoya then runs over towards Akio and gets on his hands and feet.]
Give me Nagisa's hand in marriage! [Long pause. Akio then responds]
Look at that. Just like me when I was that age.
Really honey, I've known you two were alike since I first met him. You're two of a kind.
I was in a hurry to grow up, even though I didn't know why. Guess kids never learn, do they? [Nagisa comes to Tomoya's side]
All the more reason you should understand.
[To Tomoya] Pick your head up. [He does so] If you ever make my little girl suffer, then I'm taking her back from you. You don't want to test me on that, kid.
NNagisa
Thank you, dad! [Akio walks away to pick up his umbrella]
Tomoya, Nagisa isn't just our daughter, she's our hope. So I want you to know that today on you're part of that hope, too. So never forget that your happiness is our happiness as well. In other words, try your best to be happy, okay?
[Tomoya and Nagisa then bow to Sanae and Akio]
[Tomoya, Nagisa, Akio and Sanae are sitting around a table on Nagisa's 20th birthday, drinking sake.]
I feel like I've been waiting for this all my life! The day I can finally have a drink with my daughter!
[To Nagisa] This is your first time drinking sake, huh?
Yes, it's a new experience for me. [She sniffs the sake then shudders.]
Nagisa, no need to force yourself, okay?
No, I can have one cup at least. I have to for dad's sake.
Nagisa...You have no idea how proud I am to call you my daughter.
[At Akio] Booze really means a lot to you...
Here I go. [She drinks the sake]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Just look at her go! [Nagisa finishes drinking, then her face turns red.]
[To Nagisa] Uh, you look dizzy. Are you alright?
Hey, Tomoya...You're so far away...Why are you spinning?
[Nagisa then shuffles across the floor to get closer to Tomoya.]
You're drunk already, huh?
I'm not drunk! How dare you!
I hate to break it to you, but that's what all drunks say. [Nagisa looks at him with gazing eyes]
You two are so lovey-dovey!
I don't think "lovey-dovey" is the word for this!
I see you staring at my mom! You cut that out!
What the heck are you talking about?
Yeah, Tomoya...Like, what's the deal, huh? [Tomoya then sees her after drinking her sake.]
Aw, now you got Sanae drinking, too! Great!
Oh my, Tomoya. Could it be you've take an interest in little old me?
Bored with me already, Tomoya?!
Whoa! Here comes the catfight!
One of those cats is your wife, you know!
Come on, Tomoya! Who do you like better?!
Oh my...Is he gonna confess his love to me?
[At Nagisa] What do you mean? Of course I-
Pick Sanae! Her boobs are bigger! [Tomoya takes note of them, slams his head on the table, then turns his attention back to Nagisa.]
Hey, buddy! What are you getting all flustered about, huh?
That proves he likes Sanae after all!
No, it's not that! I mean, I like you as a person!
[Getting frustrated.] AHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!
[At Sanae] Alright, I think we've teased the boy enough. Who cares if he likes you or not? You've got me, don't ya?
I wasn't teasing him. I was serious. I might be interested in him myself.
What?! Don't leave me, Sanae!
Make up your mind, Tomoya!
[Tomoya and Nagisa have moved in as a married couple.]
NNagisa
I'm not quite sure what to say at a time like this...
A time like what? What do you mean?
NNagisa
Our new life starts together today. Should I say "Ready, set, go" or something like that?
No, that's weird. It's not like a race or anything. [Chuckles]
NNagisa
Hm, you're right, but what should we say?
The idea is that we're gonna live together and support each other and all, so something like "Let's give it our best"?
NNagisa
In that case, I'd like to make a vow to start things off on a good note.
NNagisa
Yep. I, Nagisa Okazaki, will no longer cry. No matter how hard things get, I vow to hang in there and never give up. [Tomoya gives her a positive look.] But, even if I don't cry when I'm sad, I might do it when I'm happy. That's just the kind of person I am. From now on, I'll do my best to support you.
Thank you, and I'll do my best to support you too, Nagisa.
Is it really okay for me to take a bath first? I don't wanna keep you waiting.
No, it's fine. I, uh, I'll take a bath first tomorrow and then we'll be even, alright?
Okay. That sounds fair. In that case, I'll see you when I get out.
Calm down. Come on, Tomoya, you've heard her taking a bath at her house plenty of times. It's no big deal.
I'm sorry. I didn't know the water would be so cold.
It takes a while for the water to get hot, but it'll be fine in a minute. Turn the faucet a little at a time, okay?
Right. Got it. Um, sorry for the trouble. I'll try to be quick.
No, it's fine. Please take your time.
No way! I can't do that! You have to get up early tomorrow for work, so you need to get to bed soon.
Huh? Oh, you're right... Guess I forgot.
I should probably get to bed, too. I'm gonna start looking for a job tomorrow.
I can't just stay home and fool around all day while you're working. I have to earn my keep.
Are you serious about looking for a job tomorrow?
Yup. But don't worry. Even if I'm not a housewife, I'll still cook and clean. I want to, 'cause this is my house, too, right?
In that case, I'll take care of some housework myself. Don't work too hard and make yourself sick again.
I know I may not be very strong, but I don't wanna live the rest of my life like I'm weak, either. Sorry, Tomoya. I don't know, maybe I'm just being selfish.
No, I don't think that at all. You never asked for anything from me that I wasn't willing to give.
But that's the thing. Even if you don't mind, I'm always asking you to do things for me.
Yeah, but who cares? You ask me to do easy stuff like play ball with your dad or hold your hand or whatever.
Then would you hold my hand now?
[Tomoya and Nagisa reaches each others hands and hold them.]
This is it. It's so sudden, but we're married now.
From now on, everything we do, we do together, alright? But that being said, I'm sure we'll have our fair share of troubles.
As long as I have you, I can handle anything. No problem.
Yeah, same here. You took the words right out of my mouth. With your support, I feel like anything is possible. I need you. You gotta stay with me forever, okay?
Of course I'll stay. Forever, wherever. I'll always be with you.
You 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?
I don't know. I don't need anything.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
I love the breeze. It feels so nice and cool. (Gasp) The baby just moved!
Yah. It's a weird feeling, like it's sliding around in there.
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?
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?
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?
Oh, good idea... In that case, how about... Ushio? We can use the character for tide.
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?
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?
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?
We couldn't go to the beach this summer after all, huh?
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.
Yeah, we're going to come to the beach with Ushio next year no matter what. It's a promise.
Uh-huh. You promise, right? Nagisa?
Yah, of course. I promise.
You know, Sanae. Sometimes I think you must hate me for what I've done. I sure wouldn't blame you at least.
I was just thinking that if Nagisa hadn't met me in the first place, she wouldn't be going through such a risky pregnancy right now. For better or worse, I changed her life. When I first met her, she seemed so frail. I feel like if I hadn't called out to her that day, she would have stood at the bottom of that hill forever. She never would have taken the first step into the life she lives now. I don't know, maybe I'm being conceited about this, but I always felt that she had gotten stronger because she met me. And I had gotten stronger because of her, too.
That's exactly what happened, Tomoya. You have no idea how much Akio and I appreciate the things you've done for Nagisa.
That's fine and all, but I'm starting to have my doubts. If I weren't here, then she'd probably still be living at home with you guys. She might not have as many friends, but I think she'd still be happy in her own way. Or maybe she would have met someone who's actually worth something. And she'd be better off than she is now.
That's hardly fair, Tomoya. I can't even imagine that.
I had a feeling you'd say that. It's nice of you, but you don't have to humor me. I don't know...
That's how I honestly feel.
I'm sorry I brought this up. I guess... I just needed to vent a little.
