Maron! Quick!

Kaoru! Kaoru! Kaoru!

All right, all right

Don't cry Kaoru

Hold me tight

When you come

visit please call

You surprised me

Yeah I'm sorry

Are you going to eat?

I don't need to

How about School?

You go regularly?

Yeah ...

I'd like to quit

I'm pregnant

Into the 4th

months now

So I came to

borrow money

I swear I'll pay

you back when I work

The father

He looks like dad

There is a family but

he won't be a father

Please have an abortion

I'll pay for it

Please have an abortion!

I'll take you

now to a clinic

Please terminate

such kid's pregnancy

No way!

Calm down

listen to her

You're not going to raise it

there's not even a father

That much I know

So

Mom

What did you say

to that woman?

"I can't believe she's

having an abortion"

"You're bare as

a tree in winter"

You told her, right?

It's a lie

It's a lie

It's all because

that woman is paranoid

Me

I'll keep it

So I won't have

abduct someone's kid

I'll raise her alone

Why is it you

can't forget?

It's been 20 years now

Just forget

You know how important

you are to me

How can I express

how much you mean?

Why would you believe

what she said?

You don't listen to a word

I say, but you trust her

Mom

You don't even consider

me as your mother

You want to hurt me, right?

Not at all

You think, if I

hadn't been there

it would all have

been much simpler

The person who took you

away from your life

You believe it's me

right?

You're wrong

What am I wrong about?

You always saw

me like that

Etsuko!

I wanted to be a

perfectly normal mother!

To offer you a

normal childhood

When I see a girl

Smile to her mother

I'm so envious

I could scream

Mom

I'm sorry

But you know

I don't want to

"become bare like

a tree in winter"

Why didn't I take you

in the car that day

Why did I leave you

back home that day

What should I do?

I want you to love me?

What should I do?

Mom

I often played house

with you here

I Don't remember

sure

You we're only three

Tell me

What was it

here exactly?

Well, a kind of

women's shelter

The staff at House of Angel

knew Kiwako was the abductor

and they hid her

Ah really?

The person Angel wanted

was not Kiwako

but you I think

Me?

Why?

They wanted a

purely bred angel

An angel untouched by the world

untouched by men

When the Asahara cult gassed

Tokyo subway in 1995

The press decided we were

a cult too and attacked us

died, it all petered out

Finally an executive

took the money and fled

So it was over

Looking at this wall

even today I'm stressed

and nauseous

In this place

They wanted to

lead an inquiry

Who wanted that?

The press?

The police?

Let them investigate

what they wish

We didn't do

anything wrong

It's not like we're

kidnapping people

Not to worry

There they speak the

language of the world

They are not speaking

with their soul

Whatever they ask you

never answer them

Al-right?

Yes

As usual today

Each one to her chore

Please start

your own meeting

Mother Angel! Please ...

when the families

came to protest

Why didn't you

deliver the person

That

Those who came here seeking

refuge can't be expelled

People come to live here

away from their circumstances

Do you understand? Ruth

For Ruth and Rebecca

I pray for angels to visit us

Mama, mama,

where are you going?

Mama, where

are you going?

Mama, mama!

Kaoru please

keep silent

I want to play

with Maron

I know, I know

I want to play

with Maron

Kaoru it's OK?

I want to play

with Maron

Go down to there ...

There

Mom, I want to

play with Maron

Mom, I want to

play with Maron

Enough now!

It's OK Kaoru

We're not coming

back here

Ruth!

Take this

Rika, I ...

Do not let

go of Kaoru

Stay with her

until she is big

From now on

forever

Go

Kaoru

Come on ...

Here, let's go

It's so tight

Kaoru

Mom it's dark

Look Kaoru

The starry sky

Stars?

Those twinkling

dots are stars

You saw them in

a picture book

Hey Mom

It's Scary

There's nothing

to be afraid of

With me you're safe

Come

Mom

What sweetie?

Sing your song

... for me

Which song?

Alright

Then

I sing the song

of the Star

"Look up at the sky"

"The stars at night"

"There's a small star"

"A small light"

"A modest happiness"

"singing"

"Look up at the sky"

"The stars at night"

"just like us"

"A Star with no name"

It's so high above?

Stars are so beautiful

It's the first time

I stop in such hotel

Really?

I used love hotels but

They are different

A love Hotel is

more cozy

Usually it's the contrary

Say

Has Kiwako Nonomiya

finished her jailtime yet?

Yeah

The lawyer received

a postcard from her

Posted from Tokyo

But she's probably

not living there

She doesn't have much

good memories in Tokyo

So where then?

You know where

she lives?!

You want me to

meet that woman

It's not my intention

I don't know her

whereabouts or anything

Why?

You're really

Going back?!

I really don't know

Stop, there are

no more trains

You find all

this entertaining

You'll write it all

An abducted child, commits

adultery, makes a child

She's doing the same

as the criminal

I don't find it

entertaining

It's not because

I am pregnant

that I'm the

same as her

You just think

I'm stubborn

I don't think so

I talked about

it with you

I really needed to hear

someone's opinion

about it all

I told you everything

Why do you think

I want to become a mother?

I can't figure

myself as a mother

I can't even

raise a child

I have no idea

How to cherish

her or scold her

How to get close

to her, to know her

I won't become a mother

I won't write

if you like

I won't write

anything

If you're worried

let's raise her together

As for me

I'm afraid of men

Their thick shoulders and arms

their Adam's apple

even now they

frighten me

I've never dated a man

I have no experience

with a man

I can't understand

your feeling

I can't become

someone's wife

I think I'll

always be alone

sometimes my mind

withdraws far away

What I always wonder is

Why wasn't I raised

in a normal world?

But you know

Maybe I could be

a good mother

together with you

You and me together

can make a good mother

You think it

wouldn't work

May I touch

your belly?

I hear something

Its heart beating

I can't say if it's

Yours or the babies

You girls came

from Tokyo?

You mean Shodoshima

in Okayama?

Yeah, I went

sightseeing

Did you visit

the Okayama area?

You have to

visit that park

Walk in Kurashiki

look at Korakuen

eat Rose sushi

Tokyo people should know

what rose sushi is

I don't know what

rose sushi is

What? You don't?

Well rose sushi is

... rose sushi

Welcome

Please, thank you

very much

We take it?

Wait for the next?

We take it?

Kagawa Prefecture

Shouzugun Fukuda 4028

If you visit there

tell them I'm fine

Kumi Sawada

What's going on?

So much water it's scary

No need to fear

Kaoru

Look

Look how beautiful

the sparkling

Seto Sea is so calm

Sparkling and beautiful
