Thank you.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Karasawa Yukiho
Ryou...
The sun never shone on us.
We existed in an endless night...
but it was never dark.
Because we had something to replace the sun.
No.
I could live my life that way, imagining it was daytime.
It wasn't bright,
but it was clear... and that was enough.
You were...
You were...
...my sun.
My artificial sun.
And...
My one and only wish,
was that you would never stop rising each day.
Ryou!
Yuki...
Go.
You were...
You were my sun.
My fake sun.
And yet,
you burnt with love and lit my path!
My one and only light.
I won't cry.
I won't cry!
Ever since that day...
14 years ago...
that was...
the day I lost the sun.
Yukiho...
Byakuyakou (Journey Under a midnight Sun) Chapter 1
Autumn, 1991
Here you go, 300 yen please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow, Seibu won this year!
Way to go!
Excuse me?
Yes?
What's going on over there?
Well, you know, the bubble economy burst, so the construction workers just left it half finished.
Now it's just a place where kids play.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
5 minutes 25 seconds.
It's a new record.
Brilliant!
How can you get out of there in 5 minutes?
Have you never heard "less haste, more speed?"
Oh no! We'll be late for cram school!
See ya later, Ryouji
Book Title: Gone With the Wind
Kirihara Pawn Shop
Hey!
Nobody's home?
If you end up getting divorced,
I don't think Ryou-chan will be that shaken up about it.
Just for getting together with an employee with a criminal record?
Becoming concerned about whether your parents are cheating...
that is very strange.
Who knows I'm cheating?
Predictions say that we'll become a place where young girls demand and purchase brand-name goods.
It basically says, that if we don't make a department for young people, it will be difficult to survive.
Newspaper Article: With the collapse of the bubble economy, pawn shops will change
You'll have to make a change then, won't you?
I wonder how you will make it in these difficult times.
What do you think, Ryouji?
Then this shop will go bankrupt, won't it?
All of our workers will be taken from us.
What about Matsura-san?
He's a really good guy, that guy!
Thanks for the food!
Do you think he's just getting to that rebellious age?
Who knows...
It's 2000 yen though...
Here you go.
Yukiho, are you alright?
Come on mom, let's go.
It's okay.
Yukiho.
Yukiho!
You think of your mom like luggage, don't you?
If you start getting rowdy, I'll leave you here.
Ooe Library
Excuse me, I'll take this, please.
Book title: World Encyclopedia - Volume 12
Thank you.
You always get this kind of book. What are you doing?
Eh? I'm learning stuff.
Is it fun?
It must be good mustn't it, to be so carefree?
Nishimoto Yukiho Year 5, Class 1 Ooe Minami Primary School
Um...
Nishi...
Nishimo...
I'm really sorry, but we're closing.
Wait, Nishimoto-san!
You go to Ooe Minami Primary School, don't you?
I go to North Usu Primary School.
You've already started learning English? That's amazing!
Ah, but nowadays everyone is going to English cram school aren't they...
Oh, you've forgotten Japanese have you?!
My family is poor.
The only way for poor people to succeed is to study. Don't you think so?
Really?
Goodbye.
Uh, yesterday...
Yesterday, what were you doing over there?
Did you drop something in there?
I heard there was a flower that blooms in ditches...
I was just looking for it.
Goodbye.
In ditches?
Yukiho!
It's late, what were you doing?
Yukiho, please...
You're the only person I can rely on.
Please!
Ditches... ditches...
A flower that blooms in ditches...
About the flower you mentioned yesterday...
Hey! Nishimoto-san!
Look!
Hey! Look! Here!
It can't be...
That flower, what is it? What is it?!
Hm, what could it be?
The flower you were talking about...
You were thinking of a flower that blooms in the gutter rather than in ditches, I think.
The lotus grows on ruins...
There really isn't a flower that blooms in ditches!
Even if there isn't one,
it's better to have the dream isn't it?
Um...
Are you angry?
Hey, what are you doing?!?
It's dirty in the river, wait!
This is why I said wait!
It's amazing!
It was amazing!
It was so, so beautiful.
It's the first time I've ever seen anything like that.
It's a dream come true...
Here you go, "snow."
...because you're Yukiho. (Translator's Note: Yuki means "snow" in Japanese.)
Tell me,
why are you being nice to me?
I just... feel like you and I are similar.
How?
Between Chage & Aska, which do you like? (Cultural Note: Chage & Aska were Pop stars in Japan in the 90's.)
Aska.
I see...
It's nothing to do with Chage's moroseness, is it?
Yes.
I see.
If you had a time machine, would you go to the future or the past?
Um... the past!
Oh.
So you would go to the future then?
Because I hate to look back and regret...
When something bad happens, do you study to take your mind off it?
Yes, I do!
Really? Me too!
While you are studying, you don't think about unpleasant things, right?
Yes, that's right!
Phew! I always wondered what to do when I felt like that!
But, are you pleased about that?
When you say "bad things," you have to use "ga," don't you? (Translator's Note: She's correcting his Japanese from a few lines ago.)
Really? Ah, yes you do, don't you.
I'm terrible, aren't I!
Hey! Look!
Over there!
Don't you think it looks like a flower?
It's my gift to you.
Thank you.
Wow! Amazing! It's amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

You're here!
Tada!!
Wow, that's brilliant!

All of them?
Go on.
No way!!
Go on!
I'll die!
You won't, it's alright.
Just once.
Go on!
No!
I... I won't die!
Do you want to die?!
That's mean...
Thank you very much.
Gone With the Wind... A melodrama - Book 1?
It's fine, just lend it to me please.
It must be good to be young.
An old man and woman who love each other, it's nice isn't it?
Hey, um...
Yu... Yu... Yuki,
Out of Midaifuku and Joudaifuku, which do you like best? (Translator's Note: Types of rice and bean jam sweets.)
Just normal Daifuku are nice.
S... so, you mean neither then, right?
Ryou-kun...
Y... yes?
You have really sweaty hands!
Huh? I'm so sorry! Really, I'm sorry!
Ryouji! What are you doing?
What are you doing, Dad?
I'm going to look at an article that someone wants to pawn.
I'm going home.
Kirihara Pawn Shop
Ryouji, the girl I saw you with before, you're to never see her again.
Her mother is a nasty customer.
She's always drunk.
I don't think what her mother does has anything to do with her.
SILENCE!!
Get out of this house!
Don't eat anymore of my food!
What do you think's wrong with him?
Ryouji is at a troublesome age.
The person with the "Harmony" bag...
His name was Kirihara wasn't it?
I thought it was better you didn't know.
Thanks for the food!
Hey, have you been dumped already?
Wait! Wait!
Wait!
I said wait!
Did I do something wrong?
If I did something, tell me!
It's not about my father is it...
Don't touch me!
It's disgusting, don't come near me again!
Welcome home! Yukiho, do you want some of this?
No way. I can't take this anymore!
Hey, look! 2,000,000 yen.
I received it!
With this, I can pay off all our debts!
Don't you see? It's over!
There's no way it's over!
You only got that 2,000,000 yen as a down-payment for me, didn't you!
Before your father died, he hit me.
You've made your mother do the same thing!
Why do you say such selfish things?
Yukiho!
So your conclusion is that she left you because your hands were sticky?
She said "it's disgusting," so that's all it can be, isn't it?
I don't think that's really true though.
You see, she only started to smile after she met you.
I see.
You're the same you know.
How about writing a letter?
A letter?
If you write a letter, she might read it, right?
Dear Yuki-chan,
...you don't want to see me anymore because of my sweaty hands?
Yuki-chan!
I'll come and get you later.
What are you doing?
What is this?
This is... uh, Ryouji.
It isn't what it seems.
It's with consent!
Look, she doesn't seem bothered really, does she?
It's not like I love her. Besides, if it's for money...
What do I do?
What do I do?
What do I do?
I... my Dad...
I... killed...
You didn't kill him!
It's unpleasant to say this to you, but...
I killed him.
So many times...
I killed him in my head.
Therefore...
the one who killed him... was me.
This program is brought to you by KDDI...
Suzuki...
Kobayashi Seiyaku...
And Windows XP...
Here you go.
Hey...
Will you make me a promise?
We've never met before,
we've never talked before.
We don't even know each other's names. We are complete strangers, okay?
Why are you saying this?
Because I think it's for the best.
I'll definitely contact you.
Trust me.
Good night.
At the time, I didn't even realize what I was promising to you.
Even if it was just a second faster,
or a single meter further away, foolish me wanted to get away.
I didn't even consider that I was leaving you behind.
Hey, Yukiho...
About the time machine...
I would go back to the past after all.
I'd go back to that day and tell myself not to run away.
If I had done that, then I'm sure your path would have been a bit brighter.
Excuse me sir, you can't come in here as you please!
How many times have I told you to remember the precinct detectives' faces, you idiot!
Sasagaki-san!
Ah, Koga.
He's authorized you idiot!
This way.
What is it?
I don't know.
Koga...
Yes?
What's this?
It was all piled up in front of that door.
The child who found the body moved all of it over there.
Child?
A child called Kikuchi was playing in the air duct,
but it was a coincidence. It seems he came out around here.
That's the duct.
Kikuchi must have been really surprised, huh!
It was a murder, wasn't it?
A fatal wound was delivered with one blow. The killer was lucky.
The murder weapon was thin and pointed, perhaps some sort of cutlery.
It's like, afterwards, when you see the wallet is gone, you feel like you understand it all...
But it doesn't seem like there was a struggle...
Perhaps an acquaintance, or family member...
Sir, we've managed to contact his wife.
Oh, right.
I don't have any idea. He wasn't really a person noted for his seriousness.
But when you have this kind of business, you get lots of different kinds of customers, right?
Was anyone particularly jealous of your husband, or acted strangely around him?
Occasionally, there would be strange customers...
He didn't extend personal credit so there was nothing like that to motivate a customer to kill him.
Could I see a list of your recent customers?
Of course.
Your son and his father had a good relationship, didn't they?
We waited a while before we had Ryouji, and he was a good father.
You want to question him, don't you?
I would like to have a quiet chat with your son, if that is okay.
Is there really any need for that?
On this occasion, I think it would be better for the police to talk to him first, don't you?
Ryouji-kun, is it okay if we have a little chat?
I'm opening the door.
That's amazing, did you make this?
Yes.
This is on the same level as performers and...
entertainers you know. You're very good with scissors, aren't you!
So what are the local kids reading now?
What do you want to talk to me about?
I think you heard a few minutes ago, but I want you to know I understand your pain.
will catch the criminal without fail. I want you to help me.
How?
Your father was found in a building under-construction in front of Ooe park.
Do you know the building?
What I'd like to know is, what was your father doing there?
It seems mysterious to me.
Come on...
Kids are always playing over there in the ducts, aren't they?
It was primary school children who found your father.
I don't suppose you've ever seen your father over there?
Have you?
No.
I see.
Thank you.
See you again.
Oh? Are you finished with Ryouji already?
Thank you.
What's wrong Ryou-chan?
Nishifuse Police Station
Violent Crimes Division
He was a really strange child.
Really?
His eyes were about to pop out from his sockets!
It might just have been shock. He's only 11 you know.
Yes, but it was really like this!
Is that good?
Yes, it's delicious.
Why do me, you, and Ryouji have to make sure our stories match in advance?
It's necessary.
You don't really want to tell the police what we were doing that day, do you?
You see, whatever we say, they will be suspicious about it.
And if they found out about our affair, you won't receive anything from the Kirihara household.
After that, my life with Matsura-san began.
Even though I knew I was the killer,
I went to school everyday as if I had a murdered parent.
I was able to hide everything from the students.
But reality swelled up in my dreams.
I wanted to throw everyhing up and get rid of it.
However, the only person who could do that, I hadn't heard from yet.
Thinking of that,
I started to regret meeting you.
I thought that if I had never met you, I wouldn't have become a murderer.
It was nice to think of what we had together.
Trust me.
But I started to wonder if I was being deceived.
And I at the time, started to wonder if you intended to take those scissors to the police.
I couldn't trust anything.
I felt as if you had destroyed the sun.
South Ooe Station
You'll finish that book soon, won't you?
Yes.
Scarlett was able to go to heaven, didn't she?
She'll kill the soldiers who are trying to take her home, won't she?
If she does it in order to live...
If she goes that far, I wonder if she can be forgiven...
Who knows?
Even if she thinks she will be killed...
I wonder if I might do the same.
He's cute.
Why don't you talk about that with Kirihara-kun?
I see, you can't talk to him now?
You know about what happened, don't you?
There are rumors at school.
I see.
But when they calm down, I'm thinking of writing a letter.
That's a good idea.
Yes.
Father...
Please hide these well, okay?
Our initial investigation has established the identity...
of the victim, and his actions on the day of the murder.
Kirihara-san stopped at a credit company at around 2:00pm and withdrew 2,000,000 yen.
After that, at around 3:30, he went to a cake shop called Harmony in the Ooe shopping district.
It was confirmed that he bought 3 almond puddings there.
Please look at the document in front of you.
This was taken from the customer list of the Kirihara pawn shop.
Nishimoto Fumiyo, 32 years old. Her husband died 8 years...
ago in an accident. She is currently working in a restaurant.
We have several eye-witnesses who state that Kirihara-san...
was seen visiting Nishimoto Fumiyo on several occasions.
Furthermore, we have discovered that Nishimoto Fumiyo was in serious financial trouble.
This is it, isn't it?
Let's go in.
It seems strange for her to kill him.
They're lovers aren't they? She gets money doesn't she? But if she killed him then that would be the end.
Think about it though, there could be any number of reasons.
If it were me, I'd spend the money little by little.
Um...
Who are you?
I think my mom will be home soon.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She seems like a level-headed girl, doesn't she?
What are you reading?
Gone With the Wind.
What do you think of her... Scarlett?
I find that kind of woman very, very difficult.
Admirable...
Strong, sturdy...
Never giving up, no matter what happens.
What is it?
Yukiho, why don't you lock the door?
These are detectives.
Um, has something happened?
Didn't you know that Kirihara Yousuke has been stabbed?
No! He was killed?
You didn't know?
We don't get the paper, I'm sorry.
There's a witness who says that they saw Kirihara-san come into this house before he was murdered.
It was on the 11th of November.
Don't you remember?
No, I can't remember at all. Why?
I see. Can I ask you another question?
What's wrong?
There is something unusual going on there.
There is, isn't there...
That woman is clearly lying, isn't she?
Not just that, but the girl...
I think the girl is trying to implicate her mother.
She noticed me looking at the box of puddings, and put on an extravagant act as if to hide it.
But why would she want to do that?
To make her mother seem suspicious, for example.
But she's her mother! Why would she want to implicate her?
Please exercise your common sense.
How did it go?
Koga!
Right.
We asked Nishimoto Fumiyo to come to the station, and there is no problem.
I see.
Did something happen?
At the time of the murder, there was one customer who went to the Kirihara pawn shop.
However, according to that customer, even though...
the shop looked open, it seemed that nobody was there.
We received another piece of information...
the wife and Matsura are living together now.
Do you think they could have killed him for his assets?
It's not that hard to believe is it?
Besides, it seems that Matsura has a criminal record.
Will you corroborate their stories tomorrow?
Yes sir!
And Nishimoto Fumiyo?
Prepare for her to come to the station.
Yes sir.
Please, may we speak?
That night between 6:00 and 8:00, can you tell us where you were, and what you were doing?
I was in the shop.
You say you were in the shop, but someone else has testified that they came by, and that nobody was in.
At that time, I must've been in this part here. From here, you can't hear anything at all.
Is there anyone who can corroborate your story?
Yes, the owner's wife shouted at me.
You could hear the owner's wife shout but you couldn't...
hear the buzzer at the door? It's loud enough, isn't it?
Well, there's nothing I can say. The owner's wife wouldn't go out.
What was she doing at the time?
I think she was eating with Ryou-chan.
Is Ryouji here today?
What were you doing between 6:00 and 8:00 on the day of the accident?
I was watching TV with my mom, then we had dinner.
What was on TV?
"News no Mori," "100 Person Quiz," and "Why Why Sports."
Do you remember what the shows were about that day?
On "News no Mori," there was an air show in Ohio, and a big meeting in Moscow...
On "100 Person Quiz," they were asking about the Nobel Prize...
Wow, you remember all that! You're smart, aren't you!
Because it's become a day that I can't forget.
Sasagaki-san, is there anything else you want to ask?
There's a big change from the other day, isn't there?
Because I've gotten used to it.
Used to what?
The fact that my father was killed.
I see, thank you.
See you again.
The wife, the worker, and the boy's stories are all in agreement.
I can't imagine that they'd arrange their stories even down to the boy.
He even remembers what was on TV that night.
Come on, even I can tell what kind of things are on that show.
Why do you keep trying to show me these things over and over again?
I'm not convinced. Why were Nishimoto Fumiyo and Kirihara Yousuke in that kind of place?
Nishimoto could've been thinking of anything, like what would happen if news of their affair got out.
But it doesn't make sense. I don't believe she's capable of carrying out such a crime!
That's only your opinion. You have no proof, so please stop proposing it.
The facts that we see aren't always the truth.
Sir, we have something!
What is it?
Three days after the incident, 2,00,000 yen was deposited into Nishimoto Fumiyo's account.
When is Nishimoto Fumiyo coming here?
Tomorrow morning.
I see...
Where are you going?
I'm going to clear my head.
Mom, what's wrong?
The police have asked to see me again tomorrow.
Damn it! What have I done to deserve this?
7 years ago, Sasagaki-san had a painful experience with a wrongful arrest.
The motive, witnesses, and the murder weapon all pointed to a suspect,
Sasagaki-san was confident and made the arrest...
The suspect had a single daughter.
When her father was arrested, people started calling her "the killer's daughter," teasing her non-stop.
She ended up committing suicide.
Later we found that the man was innocent.
Our jobs... should've never been created, it only sows tragedy.
That is what Sasagaki-san fears the most.
It's over now, Ryou-kun.
Here you go, "snow."
Because you're Yukiho!
Mom, take this.
The old man next door gave them to me, saying they helped with hangovers. (For various cold symptoms.)
Thank you.
You're kind aren't you, Yukiho?
Yukiho...
It was you who did it, wasn't it?
Because...
...there was nobody else there but you.
It's true, you want to kill people, like that old man.
It's okay, I won't tell anyone.
Good night.
I want to kill...?
Why?
W... why?
Why did you say that?
There were various construction materials and items blocking the door, but the door was...
I found you!
What are you doing here?
Nishimoto Fumiyo has tried to commit double suicide with her daughter!
Koga-san.
Yes?
It seems she cut the gas pipe.
That's... the murder weapon, isn't it?
Ah, you're awake.
The hospital...?
Lie down and relax.
Doctor, excuse me doctor...
Your mother tried to commit suicide and kill you at the same time... with gas.
But we managed to save your life.
And...
my mother?
I'm sorry...
I see.
There's only me left alive.
Were these your mother's scissors?
They were found in the kitchen.
Yes.
Hey, hey, hey, is the rumor about Nishimoto-san's mother true?!
My mother was talking about it too!
Yes, yes, I know! I...
Are things still unclear to you?
This is what the person who found the body said in his statement...
"There were various construction materials and items blocking the door, and the door was not used much."
This made me curious.
If it was like this, the door more or less opens and you can easily escape.
But if all this stuff was piled up by the door, you couldn't get out here.
It says here that the window was closed, so there was only one way a person could escape.
Through there...
I don't think Nishimoto Fumiyo could escape through there.
I think the killer was a child.
The child of either the victim or of an absent killer.
But...
I know, it's scary to even think isn't it!
However, the killer's motive escapes me.
If it was the boy, then the motive would be that he saw his father with Nishimoto Fumiyo.
But then there would be no reason for Nishimoto to commit suicide, and we can't explain the weapon.
If it was the girl, there's no reason she would kill the man who wanted...
to help her mother, and why she wanted her mother to look like the killer.
But she was gassed with her mother!
I know!
But...
But the door was only opened a little.
Are you really convinced?
Whether I'm convinced or not, I'm being put onto another case. All I can do is forget about it.
Are you alright?
I'm tired. It's driving me crazy.
Thinking that you can go on living normally after you kill someone, that's too much!
Thinking that you can go on and be happy... as a murderer.
But...
But a girl has dreams for the future, you know.
She starts to question what she wants for her happiness, and that is also a dream to chase.
A dream?
I'm sure that the criminal that killed your father is also somewhere having bad dreams.
The human conscience is like that, it shows people their true selves.
And keeps the truth fresh in their hearts and memories.
Hey, did you get a letter from that girl?
Ah, never mind.
A letter?
I will definitely contact you.
Was it the police?
They say the prime suspect has died.
You mean it's over?
It seems they've found the murder's weapon and suspect.
They say the woman tried to commit double suicide with her daughter.
Is a woman called Nishimoto a customer here?
They say it will also be in the papers tomorrow.
That means we're safe now, right?
It seems so.
What about the daughter?
They say they saved her.
It was then that I realized everything that you had done for me...
The one who killed him... was me.
Trust me.
And I finally understood what your promise meant.
Please throw this away. - Nishimoto
Thank you.
Do you want to keep this?
It will remind you of the incident.
Yes, but I also have good memories.
They were my mother's scissors, and they were originally my dead father's.
You know, if you tell just one lie...
you end up having to lie again and again.
That kind of life doesn't have a future.
If you can't walk under the sun's eye, you'll be destroyed.
Do you have anything you want to say to me?
Thank you for everything you've done.
I think you can like her, you know?
Scarlett.
Thank you.
You must not kill people for yourself, but you can kill hundreds or thousands for others.
Hey, hey, what are you doing?! What's wrong with you?
Dear Ryou-kun,
I wonder if you will read this letter one day.
I'm writing this believing thatyou will.
What happened is probably just what you imagined.
But I don't regret anything at all.
The truth is I intended to kill myself too.
Anyway, I think it is best if we cut all ties between us.
However,
my feelings are still there.
I'm sorry.
I think God hates me.
He rejected the part of me that believed that if I died it would all end.
However, I think that what happened means that I can go anywhere...
Even though I killed my mother, it is the life that was given to me.
I will go far away,
but I won't say where, okay?
What people see is that Ryou-kun is the victim 's son, and I am the assailant's daughter.
However people think about it, a good relationship. between us will seem strange...
If people think we have one, then everything we have done will become pointless.
Up until now, and from here on out, we are strangers...
who have never met and who don't know each other's names.
For both our sakes, I think that is the best thing.
But I'll keep the scissors...
Because they are you...
The Ryou-kun who made the white flower from the ditch bloom inside me every day.
The Ryou-kun that taught me how to laugh when I...
thought that there wasn't a single good thing in this world.
Above all else...
The Ryou-kun who saved me.
Ryou-kun...
Thank you.
I was truly happy then.
I was glad that I had been born.
And that...
was enough.
You were my sun.
Wait.
Yukiho, you made the flower in the ditch bloom for me!
The moon flower.
I only smiled after I met you.
I thought I really had found a great thing.
I wanted to say thank you for all the times you were with me.
Yuki-chan...
You are my sun.
Don't go!
Don't go Yukiho!
Because I'll become strong.
Yuki, you don't have to do this!
I'll never leave you again!
Go.
Go.
It will get dark soon.
Before we knew it,
the sun that was above us had disappeared.
Aside from being strangers, there was nothing more you could do.
But I felt that we were able to smile.
We were 11 years old.
Winter, 1998
Over the years, most things changed.
Around the time I graduated from middle school, the Kirihara business went bankrupt.
Because Matsura embezzled the shop 's money.
Construction even resumed on that building.
My mother started a snack business there.
She says it was because, due to the incident, there was no security money required.
Nobody remembers you or anything that happened now.
Maybe just her and I.
...and this guy.
Ah, Ryou-chan. There's just the three of us now, so bring a cute girl around, okay?
Right, let's go.
I truly started to believe that we would carry on living like this, as complete strangers.
How much is it?
I'll go down the path that doesn't cross with yours.
Karasawa flower arranging and tea ceremony classes
Karasawa
I'm home, Mom.
Welcome home.
Hey, don't you have a boyfriend?
What's this all of a sudden?
Every day you come home and cook dinner for me.
On your days off, you help out in the classes.
Now, I may not know very well, but that's not what a young person's life should be, is it?
You should do more of the things you want to do.
Okay, let's go to an onsen next time. (Translator's Note: Onsen is a hot spring resort.)
Onsens are popular at the moment, you know!
It's turning out alright isn't it?
Ryou-kun...
Lucky!
He must be from Ooe... the schools there are full of hooligans.
It's not good to talk like that, there are good and bad people wherever you go, aren't there?
Shall we go?
I thought that what happened had been buried with time.
That under the forgetful sky,
everything was over.
I thought...
that everyone had forgotten.
I wonder where I am now?
In that place where I stand.
I don't really have many interests.
But when we are together, we stand out.
From the beginning we never had anything to rely on.
But I'm sure there's no need to savour the gentleness...
Aaa but then, even if this weight disappears,
We can be together,
Sinners who should love.
This morning that holds such sorrow,
Is my last llittle bit of strength I have left.
I will see a vision of you.
And I won't be afraid alone...
Is what I quietly whispered to myself.
In order for you to seize your happiness,
Let's hope to become each other's fake sun.
We will lose a few years,
But before that, what will be left,
Is what comes after the tears.
