Ushio Okazaki, Tomoya Okazaki and others in “The Ends of the Earth”

Hey.

What is it?

Play with me.

Alright. Well, what do you do with Sanae?

She reads me books.

Did you bring any books with you? [Ushio nods no.] What about with the Old Man?

Baseball.

You play baseball?

Uh-huh. Like this. [She gets up and gets into a pretend batting stance, imitating Norihiro Komada.] Komada!

Are you doing an impression?

You mean it isn't funny?

It's not funny at all.

[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.

I'm not supposed to cry.

Huh? Who told you that?

Sanae.

Sanae? Even she can be strict, huh? Who knew?

But she said there's one place where's it's okay to cry.

And where is that?

In 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.
