still swimming in the sea.

He just keeps swimming...

Don't worry about it.

I think

he must have swum to a safe place.

Don't be sad.

Cheer up!

Do you often come to the beach?

Yeah.

But it's my first time

on the beach in Taipei.

Such a beautiful sky!

That looks like a rainbow.

But an unusual one.

What's so funny?

Are there seven colors?

No

There aren't really

seven colors in a rainbow!

Oh, really?

It has a name.

You mean the light?

This light.

What is it called?

The Angel Light.

Who told you that?

I learned it from a book.

From a book?

Oh, okay.

Don't you read?

Not really.

Do you look like someone

who reads a lot?

I don't think so...

Don't I?

Not really.

See the light that

meets the end of the sea?

I think the so-called 'Angel Light',

must be guarding your dad.

Do you know from

which direction the sun rises?

Which direction?

The sun?

You guys don't know anything

Will you guys help me to take the boat?

Just praying to God for power.

Did you see it?

He disappeared!

Maybe... he's woken up from the dream.

So will we wake up at any time?

Did you hear it?

Who is in there?

Captain?

Captain, is that you?

Wait.

I've got something to tell you.

But someone's in there.

Listen to me.

Maybe we'll wake up

when you open the door.

It's half past four.

Have we woken up yet?

Not yet.

We're still on the ferry.

What would you like to drink?

I'll go and get some drinks.

Anything.

Okay, wait for me here.

What?

What did you say?

Watch...

Hey!

I'm here!

I'm here!

Hello!

We're here!

I think they can't hear us.

The whole world must be

must be dreaming right now.

Singing...

So, when I wake up from this dream,

I'll leave home for Taipei.

And meet you?

When you wake up...

Promise me you won't come to me.

Why not?

Promise me.

When you wake up from this dream,

don't ever come

and look for me in Taipei.

You should at least tell me your name.

Hey, get up, quick!

Mum,

can I ask you a question?

If you could go back into the past

and meet Dad again,

Would you still marry him?

Of course, I would!

But you know that

he would have an accident later.

Would you still marry him?

Yes, I would.

Why?

Because we were really,

really very happy together.

You don't have to

give up happiness today

for an unknown future.

Un.
