What could we do?

We gotta go help him.

I know, but...

(engine revving)

(tire screeching)

Heart!

How did you get here?

That's weird.

I'm positive I set it on

the course to return home.

Thanks for everything, Morio.

(screaming)

(questing music)

(bats screeching)

What the?

(dramatic music)

Hey wait, I came all the

way here to rescue you.

Why are you the one rescuing me?

- [Ikumi] Forgive me.

I wasn't able to stay

with you till the end.

However, if you're ever in trouble

I will always come back to help you.

So please, from now on

look after Kokone for me.

(glass breaking)

Wait, why is Heart?

That's it!

Huh?

Come on, let's do this!

Kokone, fly!

(screams)

(engine revving)

(balloon hissing)

Yeah!

Yeah!

(camera flash beeping)

- [Reporter] Can you comment

on what just happened?

- [Reporter] Is this some publicity stunt?

Would you tell us who you are?

Morio!

Do you know what just happened?

I thought you could tell me.

- [Reporter] Chairman, isn't it?

Hey, is that Chairman

Shijima coming this way?

It is him.

So you were able to perfect

your self-driving software.

Who are you?

Hi.

I'm Kokone Morikawa.

And my name is written with the characters

for Heart and for Wings.

Now I see.

- [Reporter] What is your

connection to Chairman Shijima?

(indistinct questions)

- [Reporter] Young

lady, please, over here.

(applauding)

- [Man On TV] The Olympic

Games are invariably rich

with human drama,

and the Tokyo Olympics were indeed another

spectacular entry in

this enduring tradition.

The closing ceremonies

of the seventeen day games

were truly an astonishing

and historic sight to behold,

a stunning procession of fully automated,

self-driving vehicles

led by cars from Japan's

Shijima Motor Corporation

carried the athletes

of each member nation

into the national stadium.

Some questioned whether the technology

could be perfected in time.

But the endeavor was

a breathtaking success

and a testament to modern

technology and human ingenuity.

Hey, dad, how come you switched

the cucumber with an eggplant figure?

A cucumber's a horse but

an eggplant is an ox,

and an ox is nice and slow.

Now mom can linger for a while

instead of racing back to heaven so soon.

I always wondered why we put those out.

That's what they're there for.

Yeah that's how it works, I think.

What's Morio been up to?

He went back to Tokyo yesterday.

He said he had some college seminar.

Okay, sounds fun.

You look good in a yukata.

Well then, have you given it some thought?

I have and I think I'm perfectly

happy right where I am,

so I'm just gonna keep

working here as usual

in my own repair shop.

I understand.

Your summer vacation's almost over.

So what are your plans, huh?

You could test for schools out in Tokyo.

Actually I think I like

that idea a whole lot.

Yeah, I like that idea too.

Okay then, but I wanna hear

all about mom while I'm still around.

Now that I've got a game plan for college

I'll be ditching you to

check out Tokyo pretty often.

I'm gonna need your support, okay Grandpa?

Yours too, dad.
