In this world, there's an invisible magic circle.

So you did go out with him! What?

There's inside and outside.

Capture the movement.

It's hard. Right?

Let's see. Hey, no looking!

These people are inside.

And I'm outside.

But it doesn't matter.

How's it coming?

Um, I...kind of still drawing.

Let me have a look.

Oh, no. Are you okay?

Hey, hey...

I...

I'm not sure about myself.

Anna...

You're fine now.

Oh, I'm so glad. Thank you, Doctor.

Anna, do you feel all right now?

I'm fine.

You looked like you were in agony.

Where was your inhaler?

I cost you money again.

Why do you say that?

Oh, Miyoko.

I brought Anna's bag. Her notebook is inside.

Why, thank you.

We were just nearby. If there's anything else...

Wait...

Has Anna been getting along with you?

She tells me nothing about school.

She's okay.

But she's very quiet.

Quiet? More like...

Hey, don't.

We're just a bit loud.

Well, take care.

Ever the worrywart, your mother.

Mother...?

She's probably a hermit at school.

It's true that stress can trigger asthma.

Meanwhile, my husband's off on a business trip.

Maybe he and I are partly to blame, too.

12 years old...

It's a difficult age.

Have you noticed anything about her?

She...always has an ordinary face.

Ordinary face?

I'm sorry.

Like she won't show her emotions...

She used to be more expressive.

But these days, I don't even know...

Maybe it's as if she weren't my daughter.

You may want to send her somewhere to get better.

7:03 Departure for KUSHIRO

Say, Anna...

Do you remember Uncle and Aunt Oiwa?

The air is very clean where they live.

It'll help your condition to spend some time there.

I can't go with you but they'll take care of you.

Be a good girl, eat well...

and come back nice and happy.

She worries too much.

When marnie was there

Oh, here she is.

Anna.

Remember us?

No, but Auntie told me all about you.

I'm Anna Sasaki.

I hope I'm not much trouble. Thank you for having me.

Our pleasure.

Auntie?

She means Yoriko.

Get on in. Sorry it's a bit of a clunker.

Sorry it's tight in here.

I don't mind at all.

This area's changed since I was last here. All these new shops.

Where we're headed is a nice, relaxing place.

But since the highway was built, people stopped coming.

They still haven't fixed that pothole!

I hear you have asthma?

Uh, yes...

The wind here will fix you up in no time.

Nice place, huh? Bet you'd like Auntie to see it, too.

What's that over there?

On the cliff.

Oh, that's a silo. It's for storing feed for livestock.

Hasn't been used in decades, though.

Now the village kids use it for dares.

They say there are ghosts there.

Dear, please!

He loves stories like that.

Best to stay away from there.

Look, that's our house over there.

Here, mind taking this in?

What's this?

Why would you accept this?

It's too much for us to eat.

He's always accepting gifts without thinking...

Our kids are all grown up and moved out.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Let's see, these go where...

Excuse me.

You must think it's an odd house.

No, it's a lovely home.

No need for being modest!

Your room's upstairs.

It was my daughter's room.

It'd be sad to clear everything, so I left it as it was.

I see.

She's a yoga teacher in Tokyo now.

I'm thinking of trying it myself.

Oh, and feel free to use the closet and shelves.

Oh, thank you.

'Write me how things are, whatever you please. Yoriko'

Postcards, how quaint! You should write her.

Come here for a sec!

Corning!

He can be so pushy.

See you later.

Seems a little stuffy in here.

Oh wow!

Feels nice.

I've arrived safely.

It's quite nice here.

Mr. and Mrs.Oiwa are both very kind.

To Yoriko Sasaki

These are delicious.

Sorry, my hands are full.

Um, I'm going to mail this in.

Sure, go on.

Won't you try this?

Later.

Okay, I'll save it for dessert.

By the way, there's a shortcut by the parking lot.

Oh, thank you.

SHORTCUT

This is the shortcut?

Boys just drive me mad!

It's tough being class president.

Wait, I need to drop off a letter.

Hey, who's that?

What is it?

That mansion seems familiar.

I wonder if anyone lives here.

Excuse me...

What a big house.

I guess there's no one here.

Oh, no...

Thank you.

He's a bear. Or maybe a sea lion.

Sounds like an adventure!

Completely different in high tide, isn't it?

It's the power of the moon.

But imagine that, Toichi giving a girl a ride on his boat.

He's actually a good guy. Just not much of a talker.

You should ask him for a ride again.

Ask him for a ride.

I will.

But it's best you stay away from 'The Marsh House'.

How come?

Ghosts.

Not again!

I'll get some wine.

Looked like no one lives there.

Not now, anyway.

Used to be a vacation home for some foreigners.

Then it changed hands a few times.

But it's been vacant for a while now.

I see...

Someone's there.

Have you finished them yet?

What Mrs.Kadoya asked for.

Oh...almost done.

Hey, Anna. Going out?

Yes.

Just finish them already...

I'm going to go sketch.

Sure, go on.

Thank you.

Yoriko was worried about her, but she looks fine to me.

As long as she's having fun and eating well.

That's for sure.

All the trash you pick up will be collected here.

Everyone listen!

Now begin!

Look, it's Toichi.

Toichi 'The Quite One'!

Toichi who only talks once a decade!

Hey, I said we're not going there until later!

We're just checking it out!

See ya!

Perhaps we'll hear from you next time!

I'm going out.

Wait, Anna.

I have a little errand, so hold on.

Yes.
