And Then There Was Light (光)

It's okay! I'm fine.

See you at the shrine tonight?

Where are you going?

Yuki! -Just stay there.

Stay there!

Rubber.

You filthy brat.

This is nice and cool.

There.

Tell and I'll hit you.

I won't tell.

I'll buy you a drink.

Nobuyuki! Tasuku!

Where were you?

What happened?

Did you get one?

I can't come tonight. We have a guest in the bungalow.

Tomorrow?

Can you come to our place at 6?

Why?

The guest is kind of weird.

I don't want to be alone around him.

An old guy?

See you.

Tasuku got a bad bruise.

It must hurt.

Nobuyuki, look out for him, will you?

Stay out of it.

His dad's always had a temper.

Thanks. -Where are you going?

Take your plates!

Help.

Wait! You don't understand.

Understand what?

She followed me. -Like hell!

How else would we be here alone? -Liar!

Calm down!

I asked her to come and she did. -Stop lying!

Do I look like I'd force her?

Why would I come?

Kill him.

Kill him for me, Nobuyuki.

What are you talking about?!

This is crazy.

Settle down, will you!

Cut it out!

You saw her! She loved it!

She loved it!

Get off me!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Meet me at 6:30.

Where?

The lookout.

Your dad again? -Look.

I'm okay if you're there.

Are you going to the shrine?

Go home! -No.

You'll get hit again.

Dad's out fishing. Are you meeting Mika?

Tell me the rest.

The sun made the other islands, so they're big.

The moon made this one, so it's small.

Thanks.

He's going to kill you someday.

Pretty, huh?

What's that?

A tsunami?

Oh, no.

No! It can't be!

Wow!

"And Then There Was Light"

"25 years later"

Could a crow raise the net and untie a garbage bag?

They're evolving. -Be serious.

Those people don't pick through household garbage.

Then who messed it up?

Highly evolved crows? -Crows!

Cup.

Which one? Chocolate or strawberry?

Strawberry.

We need a new place.

Yeah.

I'm going.

No! No! No!

Put them on!

I don't want to go to kindergarten today!

Get dressed! -No!

You'll be late! -No!

Come on! -Don't shout.

See you.

Bye, Tsubaki.

Bye.

Thank you.

"Construction Notice"

Morning.

Look at this. It's disgusting!

There's a lunatic around.

What a mess.

Garbage all over the place!

We've been here 20 years!

You're still young. You could buy a condo.

Your husband works at City Hall.

Did I wake you?

Can't you tell?

Sorry.

I'll come back.

You never have enough, do you?

Your husband.....

How does he do it with you?

Why do you want to know?

Because I worry about you.

Forget it.

If he satisfied you, you wouldn't be coming here.

I've got to go.

Leave your key.

There's nothing to steal.

Sometimes my husband kisses my toes.

Just like you did.

Three who love sucking.

I'm back. -Hi.

Want supper?

Just something light.

There are new condos in Kosugi.

Yeah?

Around here it's all homeless people and empty buildings.

I like it here.

But what if something happened?

Like what?

Nothing much happens here.

Tsubaki got mud on her smock again.

So what?

I keep telling her to keep clean.

She's a bit dense.

You keep thinking she'll just act like you want.

What did you see?

The feeling is very strong.

You were born somewhere beautiful.

How did you know?

You've kept most of your profile hidden, haven't you?

It's nice to be mysterious...

...but I'm sure we'd all like to know more.

Can our fortune-teller say more about where that place might be?

I feel a strong guardian spirit suited to...

...a beautiful place like that.

I have to go in early.

One of the old guys got sick.

I haven't got time for you today.

That's not why I came.

Then why did you come?

That apartment complex suffocates me.

Everyone's all show.

All they talk about is buying condos, entrance exams,...

...and sports clubs.

And you come here when you want to sweat.

Jerk.

Your husband doesn't know? -Why would he?

My daughter's a failure.

She's strange.

How old is she?

Nearly five.

She's a failure already?

Would you draw a white sun in a blue sky?

That's strange, right?

I'm not a parental counselor.

I'm going.

Are you sure it's not the moon your daughter's drawing?

Maybe you've never seen it.

A great big white moon in a pure-black sky.

At night the moon paints a white road in the sea.

It's beautiful.

Mrs Kurokawa! Mrs Kurokawa!

It's Tsubaki!

She was attacked!

Does it hurt anywhere?

It hurts a little where I pee.

We'll look at that.

That won't hurt.

She was outside at the kindergarten,...

...then suddenly she was gone.

They searched for her...

...and found her crying at a playground nearby.

She says a man took her in his car.

The beer doesn't affect you?

It wakes up my mind.

What's it like to have your mind awakened?

Things become clearer.

Like what?

Miki Shinoura, actress.

No one knows who she really is.

Our cameras follow her in her daily life.

What should we do?

About what?

Tsubaki, of course!

Just leave her be.

She's young. If we ignore it, she'll forget all about it.

Are you serious?

How can you be so calm?!

Is that what it looks like?
