Your Name Is? Part III Page #4

---

"But she does not answer..."

"The misery of echoes..."

Thank you.

How is she?

She's sleeping.

Oh, Machiko.

When did you get back?

I hear you had a visitor.

Yes. I'm sorry

I left you alone.

Mr. Atomiya came

from Tokyo.

Atomiya?

He's been transferred

to work abroad.

Is he here now?

No, he left.

He didn't stay?

No.

I see.

Machiko.

I hear you took care of me

during the night.

Why are you so kind to me?

I did awful things to you.

- Why?

- Mother.

That's in the past.

Please rest and

get better.

Thank you.

Machiko. I...

I came to Unzen

to see you and apologize.

I really should kneel

and beg forgiveness.

But since I'm ill in bed...

Mother. That's not...

I'm sorry for everything.

I felt... I was losing

Katsunori to you.

I was so sad and did

those things to you.

I really feel sorry.

Forgive me.

Mother, it's not necessary.

No. You tried so hard

to make everyone happy.

I forced you to leave.

I wanted to split you

and Katsunori up.

I told Katsunori

and he was angry at me.

I really am sorry.

Machiko.

If at all possible,

I want you to come back

to us.

I came here to get you.

Please come back.

Please come back to the

Hamaguchi family with me.

And this time, let's make

it a happy family.

You must think

I'm thinking only of myself.

I'm willing to change

my ways.

Please. Come back.

Or else, Katsunori

will marry someone else.

I'll tell you everything.

She's an undersecretary's

daughter.

But I don't like her.

If she comes,

what will happen to me?

She'll force me out.

Please. You'll be

helping me.

Take pity on me

and come back.

Please, Machiko.

If only you'd come back...

Katsunori doesn't

care about her.

Even now, he has no

intention of divorcing you.

For Katsunori's sake,

no, for mine,

please come back.

Please, Machiko.

It embarrasses me to

say this now,

but I can't help it.

Please, Machiko,

forgive me and come back.

- Please.

- Mother.

Mother, I don't know

what to say.

But forgive me.

I...

I can't go back.

Machiko. Why not?

Are you in love

with Mr. Atomiya?

Yes. I can't help

how I feel.

But you were married

to Katsunori

feeling the way you feel.

But I don't ever want to

make that mistake again.

Because of that,

everyone became unhappy.

I'm really sorry for

what I've done.

I see. I see.

I was a fool.

I did something

irreparable.

Mother...

Mother...

Please don't cry.

If you do, I don't know

what to do.

Machiko.

It's all right.

I won't ask you anymore.

I was being selfish.

I made you suffer

just by asking.

I'm happy just for

your kindness.

I'm glad I came.

Because I got to

talk to you.

Mother.

Why I couldn't come around

to how I feel now...

That's my only regret.

Mother.

Please rest quietly.

Or you'll get sick again.

Please, Mother?

I'm sorry.

You must be tired, too.

Go and rest tonight.

Manager!

I hear your mother

went to Kyushu?

She went to see

your ex-wife?

I wonder why she went?

It looks like she really hated

what I said to her.

Then your ex-wife

should come back.

You want that, too,

don't you?

No. I...

You can tell me.

You were going

to marry me

out of despair and to

get back at your wife.

And because I'm the

undersecretary's daughter.

Marrying me

will help your career.

Despite your ulterior motive,

I feel attracted to you.

It might be fun to battle

your memories of your wife.

At least I won't be bored.

I don't feel love is necessary

for marriage.

Let's dance.

I love this kind of life.

Let's dance.

Come on.

Yoshiko.

I don't mean to be rude,

but I don't think it'll work.

Welcome home.

- Mother's back?

- Yes, a while ago.

Mother.

Katsunori, I'm sorry

for leaving without

telling you.

I went to see Machiko.

I hoped she would

come back to us,

but I couldn't persuade her.

I'm sorry.

She is a kind good woman.

When I got sick there,

she took care of me.

How was Machiko?

She looked worn out.

I pity her.

Mother.

I'll live with you for the

foreseeable future.

I told Yoshiko

we won't get married.

Oh, Katsunori.

But why?

Was it because of me?

You don't have to

think about me.

I'll move out, or do

whatever you want

and be a good mother.

No, it's not because of you.

It's for my own

personal reasons.

I just want to lead

a peaceful life.

Until Machiko's memory

fades from this house.

It was raining

just like tonight,

when Machiko left

the first time.

Machiko.

Machiko.

Machiko.

Machiko.

Machiko.

She was never robust,

but taking care of

a sick person

must have taken its toll.

And she's now at

Mr. Nagahashi's?

She's recuperating

at Aso Kogen Hotel

through Mr. Nagahashi's

introduction.

I see.

She's in Aso.

Machiko.

I heard you were ill.

Why didn't you contact me?

I thought you were

running away from me.

I'm sorry.

I saw Mr. Hamaguchi

in Tokyo.

I want to talk to you about it.

Let's find a coffee shop.

Poor Hamaguchi.

He got caught

in his own trap.

I thought he would be

more formidable,

so he was

unexpectedly easy.

Come to Tokyo with me,

and we'll see

Hamaguchi together.

He said he'll grant you

a divorce.

Machiko.

You'll finally be free.

What's the matter?

I thought

you'd be overjoyed.

Won't you thank me?

I appreciate your kindness.

But I don't want a divorce

on false pretenses.

Why not?

Everything is negotiable.

Why aren't you more

proactive for your happiness?

I'm doing all I can

in my own way.

But I don't want to go so far

as to trick Katsunori.

However, isn't he ignoring

your civil rights

by saying he won't divorce you

unless you marry anyone

but Atomiya?

So my strategy is the

correct one.

There's nothing

to be ashamed of.

And I'm not lying or

tricking him in the least.

That's because I've

asked you to marry me.

If you marry me,

then we're not tricking

Hamaguchi.

Well? That's what I think.

Is that wrong, Machiko?

Mr. Soejima.

Please let's not discuss

this anymore.

I know you're being kind,

but please don't bother

about me anymore.

I vowed I'd never do

anything I regret again.

Perhaps, I'm going to die...

I have a feeling...

Don't say that, Machiko.

I feel so forlorn.

So no matter what

Katsunori does,

since he was once

my husband,

I can't bring myself

to deceive him.

I think Mr. Atomiya

would say the same.

If I'm to die,

I want to die with a pure heart.

Even if I live...

So, Mr. Soejima,

I ask you to leave me alone.

You may think I'm foolish,

but this is how

I've conducted myself.

And I will go on doing so.

I see.

You are a beautiful person.

You're beyond my reach.

I'm sorry I butted in.

I'll give you up

here and now.

I won't show my face again.

Machiko?

This Atomiya. He's probably

thinking about you in Europe.

Machiko,

take care of yourself.

No matter how distant

this sky is,

it is connected to

the sky in Europe.

Bye.

...enduring her sadness,

the Aso Volcano

hides red hot flames within.

Sitting beneath

the eternal blue skies,

Mt. Aso, with a limitless
