Yuichi and Mishio in “Unfinished Business”

Amano...

I'm relieved to see that you're looking so well today.

Well, that might be the only redeeming quality I have.

Things are better than they seem.

Hm?

When the spring finally comes again, you what will happen? There'll be baby foxes all over that hill. When one life ends, another begins. New creatures will be born, completing the circle of life and once again there will be another soul who longs for nothing but a little human warmth.

I guess it's possible.

More than possible; I think it's inevitable. After all, that's part of the mystery of Monomi Hill.

Maybe you've got a point there.

I wouldn't be surprised if more of the people living in this town were foxes but they're taking on a human form so nobody realizes it. Anybody who lives in this town could be one. Only nobody knows about it. Even I could be one. Or you could, too.

Amano...Are you?

[Chuckles] I'm just kidding around.

[Chuckles] Man, what the heck's wrong with you? Don't scare me like that again.

You have to admit it's something to think about. If all the foxes on that hill possess mysterious powers, maybe if they got together and focused their powers somehow, nothing short of an incredible miracle would occur. Don't you think that would be exciting?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's just a dream, you know? Something that's nice to think about, but won't ever happen. Like, wouldn't it be nice if candy fell from the sky?

I don't think I follow. I mean, if there was candy all over the street I wouldn't really wanna eat it.

Come on, Aizawa, you're thinking about it too literally.

And what are you doing? Seems to me if you're gonna daydream at least have it make sense. [Both Yuichi and Mishio chuckle.] You and me, we were a part of the same daydream...for a while. But now we've come back here to the real world. [Pause]

Say...If you could make a miracle happen, anything in the world, no matter how crazy it sounds, what would it be? [Pause]

I thought that was...obvious...
