Be with You

edited by mankind

Start getting up, Dad.

You've slept in.

OK.

Coming!

Good morning.

Good morning.

You brought it very quickly.

The truth is, the store

is going out of business.

Is that so?

But things turned out all right because

I could keep my promise to the end.

I'm grateful to you for doing

this for such a long time.

I wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you very much.

Yuji.

Yeah?

What happened to

the new toothbrushes?

I told you yesterday.

That year...

in the season of rain,

the miracle that came to us...

Began in this forest.

A miracle of 6 weeks.

Perhaps it may have been...

A magical vision of the

other side of the fog.

However...

There is no mistaking...

That we met my mother.

Be With You...

It's already been a year

since Mio passed away.

Are things going well for you,

Takumi and Yuji?

You're not in good health, Takumi.

It really was...

A mistake to have

Yuji so carelessly.

It was that difficult a labor.

Are you raising Yuji well?

Hey...

Where do all the people

go when they die?

They're all at the Akaibu star.

Your mother is on that star too.

Well, can Mommy

really come back?

Hmm?

Won't she?

Because Mommy doesn't lie.

Then when the

rainy season comes...

Mommy will come back

It's true, right?

Yeah.

All set. Let's eat.

OK!

Sorry, I messed up

the fried egg.

That's all right I can eat it.

Let's enjoy the meal.

Let's eat.

Dad, I'm heading out first.

See you later.

Dad.

Yeah?

Don't be late!

All right.

I'm leaving.

OK.

Got some on me.

I'll be back later.

Takumi.

Yes?

This is for special delivery.

OK.

- Do it like this.

- Ah.

It will be easier to take

care of things in this order.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Pardon me.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

- So this is just a question but...

- Eh?

You're wearing

winter clothes so...

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

And so the rainy season,

has finally come.

The rainy season...

Do you like rain?

Well uh...

But there's a

festival this weekend.

Do you have plans to

take Yuji some place?

Well, if it's all right with you,

could I take Yuji and...

Takumi?

Huh?

No, it's nothing.

This is all set.

Thank you.

No problem.

Who's going to the festival?

- Me!

- I am!

I'm going to go

with my mom and dad.

You're not going to

the festival, Yuji?

Yeah.

In my family, my dad...

Can't go to places

with so many people.

I see.

Please sit down.

What is that?

Yuji, hung it up.

Yeah, Yuji put it there!

It's cute.

All right, class is starting.

This lesson is in arithmetic.

Hey, Doctor.

Why can't Dad go to places

with so many people?

Is it a disease?

Yeah, it is.

You're father... well...

It would be similar...

To smelling gasoline fumes

from being near a car.

It's not a sickness

in his head or in his heart.

Understand?

Yeah.

But wouldn't your father be happy?

Why?

Because he has you.

Yuji.

I'm sorry for

being late, Doctor.

It's fine. Take your time.

Poor Yuji.

Why do you say that?

Because his parent is like this.

It's nothing like that.

You're trying hard though

everyone around you is against it.

And I think you are being a

very remarkable father to him.

No, I am not. Not in the least.

I wish I could do so

many things for him.

Like normal parents can.

It's already been one year...

Since Mio passed away.

These days...

Thoughts of Mio keep

rising into my head.

I know that...

Just looking at things like pictures

won't make me feel Mio but...

Is that so?

But...

Mio said she would return.

Soon.

Are you talking about the

rainy season return story?

Yes.

Having her return during the

rainy season is a good wish.

Yes.

And Yuji believes

that story as well?

Yes.

Do you believe?

Yuji believes it.

I see.

I believe it cannot happen.

Well, from the standpoint of science...

And as a doctor...

Yes. That must be so.

Takumi.

Yes?

Would you like it if

Mio returned as well?

Yes.

Because I couldn't

make Mio happy at all.

Is that so?

In this condition...

I only burdened Mio.

From the beginning to the end.

Even just for once...

I wanted to make her think...

That she was

happy to be with me.

That is why...

If she does

come back perhaps...

I want her to

have those memories.

Maybe we could

go on a vacation...

By riding a train

like normal couples.

I see.

Doctor.

You are not asking

anything about my body.

Even though you're a doctor...

How are you?

Your symptoms?

They haven't appeared.

This tastes terrible.

No it doesn't.

It doesn't taste good.

Sorry, Yuji.

That's all right. I can eat it.

I'm done.

OK.

Hey, Yuji.

Want to go to the

festival this Saturday?

Huh?

You went with Mommy before.

You said it was fun, right?

Still...

Will you be all right, Daddy?

I'll be fine. Let's go.

Yeah!

Yuji!

Aya!

Let's go over there!

OK.

Yuji!

Yuji.

Yuji!

Daddy, I want to do this one.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy!

Yuji!

Daddy.

Yuji.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Daddy...

It would've been

better not to come.

We shouldn't have come.

Yeah.

Don't cry. No matter what.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, Yuji.

Hey Daddy.

Yeah?

Mommy died because

of me, right?

What?

That's right, isn't it?

Yuji, how did you hear...?

Well...

That's what our relatives said.

No.

Mommy didn't die because of you.

And...

I'm not going anywhere.

All right?

OK.

I want to see Mommy.

What are you looking for?

A four-leaf clover.

They make wishes come true.

What will you wish for?

To make Mommy's disease go away.

Thank you.

Mio...

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Then...

Water.

Water?

(Word game continues)

Yuji.

Be careful.

I'm OK!

What are you looking for?

It's a secret.

I made a promise with Mommy.

With Mommy?

Yeah.

But I forgot where I put it.

If you search hard,

you'll find it.

OK.

Mommy.

Mio...

Mommy!

Mio.

Are you really...

Mio?

Mio?

Is that... My name?

Mommy.

Mommy?

Who are you?

You don't remember, Mio?

You are my wife...

And Yuji's mother.

I am a wife?

A mother?

Take a look!

It's me.

Hey, Mommy...

What's it like

on the Akaibu star?

Huh?

Uh...

Mio...

You can't catch a cold,

so why don't you change?

I left all of your stuff

as it was over here.

As it was?

Yeah.

In any case,

just change quickly.

Yuji, come over here.

- What?

- Hurry.

What?

Yuji.

So...

For now, let's not

tell anybody...

That Mommy came back.

Why?

Because no one knows anything

about the Akaibu star.

So they'll all

think she's a ghost.

I see.

Yeah.

Also, it seems like Mommy

doesn't remember anything.

Anything about me or you...

Or that she died once.

How is that?

Could it be because she was on

the Akaibu star before coming back?

How did that happen?

I don't know that either!

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

She doesn't remember

anything about me.

Yeah.

I see.

Starting today...

We can help her

remember everything.

Everything about you and me.

I have a question.

Go ahead.

Did I live here as

the three of us?

Yeah.

But why is it so dirty here?

Um...

Was I this messy a person?
