Orange: Mirai

She said it starts at ten.

Yeah, that's why I think it will leave some free time in the afternoon.

Please take care of it, then.

Takamiya Naho

Ten years in the future?

Takamiya Naho, My second-year high school self. How are you? I'm writing this letter ten years in your future. Why am I writing to you when you're in high school? Because I need you to do me a huge favor.

In this letter, I will tell you the events that will happen and the choices I want you to make, so that you don't repeat my mistakes.

April 6th: I forget to set my alarm clock, and oversleep for the first time in my life.

How did it know?

A new transfer student from Tokyo joins Class 6. His name is Naruse Kakeru. He sits next to me.

Attention everyone.

This is Naruse Kakeru.

Naruse Kakeru

Nice to meet you.

Curry bread.

I'll trade you for the melon bread.

S-Sure.

Takamiya Naho

Kakeru turns down my invitation to go home together.

Today I don't want you to invite Kakeru. No matter what.

Takamiya Naho

April 20th The ball game tournament. They ask me to be a pitch hitter for the softball game. I refuse and regret it later. Please, I want you to accept the pitch hitter request.

Please, I want you to accept the pitch hitter request.

I fall in love with Kakeru on this day.

Endure too much, and it'll be your loss.

I know. I've seen that.

Now, ten years in your future, Kakeru is no longer with us. Don't lose what's important to you. Please keep a close eye on Kakeru.

My mom...

...she died.

Kakeru!

I made you lunch!

I wanted to give it to you at lunch time, but I couldn't.

I-I don't know if it'll be to your taste, b-but please eat it.

In the winter of his 17th birthday, Kakeru passed away in an accident. All the promises he made with his friends were left behind. And all of us feel regret, knowing that Kakeru could've been saved.

And all of us feel regret, knowing that Kakeru could've been saved.

I'll save him.

I will save Kakeru!

It's a present for you.

Naho.

I will never forget this day.

Because today I am happy.

Apparently, Kakeru is riding his bicycle when he darts out in front of a speeding truck. There was nothing we could do. Saving Kakeru from the accident won't save him.

I want you to save Kakeru's heart. Ten years later, we learn that it wasn't an accident, but that Kakeru committed suicide. We have one regret; that we let Kakeru die.

Ten years later, we learn that it wasn't an accident, but that Kakeru committed suicide. We have one regret; that we let Kakeru die.

Did you get one?

A letter.

But I hope you realize...

...how I feel.

Stop feeling regret.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I feel the same way.

I love you.

I love you so please,

don't go away!

You're finally coming to us for help.

There's something we want to show you.

Pass a message on to Kakeru!

"Don't lose!"

Pass a message on to Kakeru!

"Don't lose!"

"Promise me!"

Pass a message on to Kakeru!

"Don't lose"

"Promise me!"

"We'll always be together!"

Pass a message on to Kakeru!

"Don't lose"

"Promise me!"

"We'll always be together!"

"Even ten years from now!"

Kakeru!

I have a message from everyone!

"Don't lose"

"Promise me!"

"We'll always be together!"

"Even ten years from now!"

"We'll all be waiting for you!"

All of us!

We'll be waiting for you!

I got my reward.

Thanks.

Stay away.

I don't want to talk anymore.

The accident occurred a little past 8pm.

At an intersection near Kakeru's house.

Apparently, Kakeru was riding his bicycle when he darted out in front of a speeding truck.

He just left a little while ago.

He suddenly just ran outside,

so I have no idea where he went.

Kakeru!

Let's go back.

Kakeru!

Kakeru!

Don't go anywhere.

Naho!

Aren't these flowers pretty?

What are they for?

I'm giving them to Kakeru.

I don't think he'll appreciate those.

It's fine.

Come in.

Please, take your time to talk to Kakeru.

Sure.

Pardon the intrusion.

My... how adorable.

Is he your child?

Yes, he's ours.

We're married.

You haven't changed.

Suwa and Naho, right?

You remember us?

Azusa, Takako, Hagita.

I've heard a lot about you from Kakeru.

Especially you, Naho.

He's so cute!

Kakeru is so tiny.

He's in elementary school here.

But I don't think he changed that much.

That's true!

About Kakeru's death... was it really an accident?

Is it okay to tell them now, Kakeru?

Grandma, I'm sorry I've made it so hard on you.

If anything happens to me, please tell everyone that it was an accident.

I'm going to go apologize to mom.

No way...

It seems like Kakeru purposely rode into the path of the truck.

I want to apologize to Kakeru.

I want to apologize for stealing his future.

For taking Naho.

I was the only one

who knew how Naho and Kakeru felt.

But I pretended not to notice.

I'm the worst.

If Kakeru was alive,

he and Naho would've married in the future.

That's not true, Suwa!

It is.

It's not. Even if Kakeru was alive,

I would've married you anyway.

When you confessed to me in high school,

I was overjoyed.

What? Confession?

When, when did he do that?

Forget it, it was a long time ago.

It was on New Year's Eve, right?

Hagita, shut up!

Hey, step off the gas.

Hagita, continue on!

If I remember right, Suwa--

Cut it out!

Stop thrusting around!

Orange - Future -

I wanted to show you.

I wonder how this scenery would've looked to you.

Starting today, we've got a new student.

His name is...

Naruse Kakeru.

Naruse has transferred from Tokyo.

This is his first time living in Nagano,

be nice to him!

Well then Naruse, anything you want to say?

Nice to meet you.

Alright, we'll have you sit next to Takamiya.

Over there, there's a seat at the back.

Okay.

Naruse Kakeru.

Hey, transfer student!

Kakeru, was it?

Let's go home together.

Sorry, today is kind of...

Come on! Let's get to know each other.

Sorry it's so sudden.

Hey Kakeru, you should come try our bead.

Her family runs a bakery.

It's delicious.

Uhm...

Let's go home together.

He laughed!

He laughed.

Was was the funniest part?

"Huntsman"

That?!

Which one would you like, Kakeru?

Anything's fine with me.

However, I'm kind of curious about the Mustard Leaf bread.

It's great. Try it.

Bring more curry bread in the future.

Kakeru, was it delicious?

Yeah.

Bye guys.

See you tomorrow!

See you.

Ah, Kakeru.

Is it okay if we just call you "Kakeru"?

Sure, I prefer that.

Hagita, let's go buy some bread.

Wait, I'm going too.

You didn't bring lunch today?

No, my mom won't make me any.

Oh, I see.
