I rode a bike for the first time.

I learned for the first time

that the sky was so big.

But more than anything...

...I'd never seen any place

with so many people.

Hey, Chiaki?

Could it be that there's

some kind of connection...

...between that painting and

the future you come from?

Please, tell me.

I like this era.

There's baseball as well.

Huh? Baseball's going

to disappear?!

Where are you looking, idiot.

Aww, stop messing around.

That painting...

Huh?

- That painting...!

- Yeah?

You'll be able to see it soon.

They're just restoring it right now.

How about the three of us go?

With Kousuke as well?

I mean, summer vacation's

about to start!

Huh, Chiaki? Chiaki?

Sorry, but I can't.

Huh?

I'm going to disappear tomorrow.

W- Why?!

I'm not supposed to let people

who live in the past...

...know about time leaps.

I broke that rule.

That's why...

...I won't be able to see you again.

I'll keep my mouth shut!

I won't tell anyone!

Chiaki! Where are you?!

Hey, Chiaki...

Chiaki...

Chiaki...

You said we'd go to

a night game together!

Sorry.

And you said we'd go to

a fireworks festival!

I'm really sorry.

You don't want to see me in a yukata?!

Is that it?!

Sorry, I would've liked to have seen that.

You idiot!

Chiaki!

Chiaki!

- Chiaki!

- Whoa!

Wait a sec!

Chiaki!

Why is Chiaki quitting school?

Apparently he was in debt

and the mob was after him.

Is that true?

You sure his parents aren't divorcing?

I heard he's marrying an older woman.

He got her pregnant.

What?! No way!

So what's the story, Makoto?

He's not that kind of guy!

Apparently, he lost it and

stabbed the guy.

I heard he beat him to a pulp

with a baseball bat.

- Or stabbed him with a knife.

- I said he's not like that!

- Hey, Kousuke!

- Kousuke!

What the hell's going on?

It's one thing to not tell me...

...but to think he'd go

without saying a word to you...

He did have a thing

for you, after all.

Did Chiaki say that?

It was obvious.

You didn't notice?

Well, you're awkward about

stuff like that.

So maybe that's why

he couldn't come out with it.

Kousuke...

Huh?

- I'm a truly horrible person.

- What?

He wanted to tell me something...

...but I pretended

it never happened.

Why didn't I take what

he said more seriously?

Makoto, what are you talking about?

H- Hey!

Have you calmed down?

You know, I honestly thought you

were just friends with both...

...Kousuke and Chiaki.

I figured you would graduate

without dating either one of them...

...and you'd end up

with someone else entirely.

That's what I thought too,

until yesterday.

But that's not how it is, is it?

I fell in love for the first time

when I was in senior high.

We hit it off right from the start.

It was as if we'd known each other

since we were kids.

But it fell apart before

we became adults.

Why?

Bad timing, I guess.

What is he doing now?

I wonder what he's up to.

He promised to come back for me.

I wasn't intending to wait for him,

but so much time has passed.

It didn't seem long.

Time flew by quickly.

But Makoto...

You're not like me, are you?

If a guy is late meeting up with you...

...you're the type to go run

and look for him, right?

Makoto! Have some watermelon!

Come on, Dear.

What's up with her? She didn't have

dinner. And now, no watermelon?

- She's heartbroken.

- You're kidding?!

Miyuki, it's none of your business.

If a guy is late meeting up with you...

...you're the type to go run

and look for him, right?

Why?!

It's supposed to be at zero.

It can't be...!

- Makoto!

- Sis!

Don't do anything rash, Makoto!

Makoto!

That moment,

because Chiaki turned back time...

Walking home from school, I joked around That

moment, because Chiaki turned back time...

Walking home from school, I joked around

Then it should be the same for him...

Walking home from school, I joked around

Oh, Mako!

Oh, Mako!

I made you angry for no good reason

Oh, Mako!

I made you angry for no good reason

I made you angry for no good reason

Even Chiaki...!

I made you angry for no good reason

I wanted to see all of your expressions

I wanted to see all of your expressions

Go!

Go!

Your wide eyes and tear-filled voice

Even now, they make my heart ache

Weaving through the passing strangers

I ran after you

Now, settle down. Quiet!

Seeking something that wouldn't change

Seeking something that wouldn't change

Huh? Who are you?

Seeking something that wouldn't change

- I'm Tsuda. This is Konno... your new classmate Chiaki Mamiya.

Seeking something that wouldn't change

Konno?

Konno?

I won't forget how you looked that day

Konno?

I won't forget how you looked that

day - Makoto! - He looks a bit rough...

I won't forget how you looked that day

- Come over here!... but I hope you all get along.

I won't forget how you looked that day

See ya, Makoto!

See ya, Makoto!

Some feelings are more powerful than time

See ya, Makoto!

Some feelings are more powerful than time

Some feelings are more powerful than time

Hey, did you hear that?

Some feelings are more powerful than time

Some feelings are more powerful than time

He called you by your first name.

Some feelings are more powerful than time

I want to be with you right now

Makoto, how about you

go out with me?

You were talking about what if

Kousuke got a girlfriend.

I'm not that ugly, am I?

Huh?

Makoto?

Are you okay?

I wonder what Chiaki does

on the weekends and stuff?

It's not like he can

play baseball all day, right?

Yuri...

Huh?

There's something I haven't

been able to tell you.

What is it?

I really like Chiaki.

Sorry.

Right. That's what I thought.

I bumped into Chiaki on my way here.

Go see him.

Okay.

Makoto.

Time waits for no one...

Makoto!

Kousuke, where's Chiaki?

He got tired of waiting and

went ahead to the field.

He was pretty irritable. We'd better hurry.

You sure you want to leave your

girlfriend alone? I did work hard to...

Girlfriend? Whose girlfriend?

Oh, right.

It's all gone back...

What are you talking about?

Uh, well... Oh!

Huh?

- Oh no! He saw us!

- He noticed us!

Hey, why don't we invite them

to join us for baseball?

- Huh?!

- Go and ask them.

Why?

The more people we have,

the more fun it is.

Hey, do you even know them?

Kind of. And another thing...

Huh?

If you use my bicycle,

it'll cost you 5,000 yen.

Huh?!

Got that? 5,000 yen!

Hey! What's this about?!

Ask them nicely, "Would you like to

play baseball with us?" Like that.

- Oh, one more thing!

- Huh?

I appreciate you waiting for me!

Makoto!

What?!

Watch where you're going!

Sure!

You're late. Where's Kousuke?

- He's not coming.

- Huh?

What do you mean he's not coming?

Where'd you find that?

I mean, do you even know

what it is?

I do.

- Who told you?

- You did.

I didn't tell you.

I would never tell you.

You told me everything.

About the future you live in,

and what this is...

Everything.

H- Hey...

Just as I thought.

Thank goodness.
