Is it edible? I doubt it.

Sure, you can eat it.

Bacterian!

Cheers!

Congratulations!

Now, what gets pretty

when this is put inside?

Guess what

Our dear doctor.

Our dear doctor. That's correct.

And what's this doing here? I wonder

who's it is.

That would be mine!

Bacterian!

How many years do you think

I've been researching this stuff?

I'm glad it worked out.

Don't you?

You okay?

Where's Dr. Amamiya?

Don't know.

I'm so sorry.

I think I'm a little drunk.

You don't have to worry.

Because these kids will make it

all nice and clean.

Eat all you want

grow big and healthy.

Make lots of babies.

They're so adorable.

Just like my cute Haruna.

I know they're not coming back.

No belongings or articles of memorabilia

have been found either.

What's this?

Your friend from home?

She had a baby?

So you're going back?

When

I'm making dinner

It feels like

they're still in the living room.

But the realization strikes when I turn

and look to see that no one's there.

You work tomorrow?

Take a day off. Let's go on a date.

I know you're busy and all

but let's go out. Come on.

Man, you're boring.

Damn, I don't wanna go to work!

Wish I could live in the country.

Crap.

Reports estimate the disaster has left

30,000 people with families missing.

Those left behind are worried

they will forget about their loved ones

with the passing of time.

See you later, OK?

They say there was pressure from

the water and sewage bureau.

Why?

Cuz it takes their jobs away.

Seriously? Poor Dr. Amamiya.

But I heard she secretly got settling money

from the company.

Mr. Nino said so.

Makes me lose motivation.

Can't help it.

You know, there's some people who'll

be troubled because of my creation.

Such a nice day.

You know, Haruna.

What we're doing

doesn't mean anything to those people.

Like that old lady doing her laundry.

The trains keep running

Right?

Everyone's perfectly happy.

we'd now like to call our air crew.

Mr. Okubo. Mr. Okubo. Can you hear us?

Yes. I'm here above Tokyo bay.

Do you see this?

From the mouth of Sumida River,

down toward the ocean

the water is faintly glowing

like a firefly.

This mysterious light is traveling at

approx. 10 meters/min, spreading

Kotomi.

Hurry up now. It's your day.

I know.

More than that, look Mom.

Haruna? Wow, it's been a long time

hasn't it.

You came back for today?

Is that so. How nice of you.

Kotomi, everyone's waiting.

You too, Haruna.

It's okay. You're back home.

Come on, chop chop.

What're you doing now?

Even Kotomi's come back.

This is my husband.

Have a good long relationship.

Grandpa.
