We can't go back anymore, right?

I was thinking if they did not transfer. If there is not such a great distance in space, then the ending of this story will not be established.
If they are in the same school, in the same place, they will be close, share their hearts with each other as they did in the past, and then walk together to the beginning of adulthood.
Will they still be like this?

Gradually. . . Let it fade away. . . .
Write letters, text messages, phone calls. . . . As the years passed, the
mailbox gradually became less , and as the age grew, it became empty. . .
As a result, what was needed to work hard in the past, and the reasons for struggling for it, paled.

The protagonist must be Takaki Tono.
Compared to the heroine, he is a more sensitive and innocent person.
I think, when he repeatedly opened the mailbox and saw that it was empty, his heart was complicated? Helpless, sad, or knowingly?
This is the price paid for growth.

Finally, the heroine is getting married.
He is still walking in this noisy city. Walking so lonely.
In the three years of getting along with my ex-girlfriend, the distance between each other's hearts was only 1cm closer

, and it was a little numb, a little painful, and then there was expectation.
Expect, yes, expect. Only there is a better pure longing and stick with paranoid people
will be 13 years old when the affair and into the blood and bone as a measure of future standards
only for innocence has insisted paranoid and stubborn looking for people
they are so in the adult world Live alone.
If Takashu in Kagoshima hasn't realized that he feels lost in his heart, was
he just lost in losing his goal at that time?
Then Kishu, who returned to Tokyo as an adult, finally sees himself clearly.

Some people still insist on their inner persistence. And find their own way of survival in this city
For example, Guishu, the moment he passed by the station as a child, he turned his head back.
Some people, like most people in this world, follow the rules of the world and continue to walk on their own path of happiness,
such as Mingli, after two trains have passed. She left.

In spring, the cherry blossoms fall, like snow. .
We have made an appointment to see the cherry blossoms again. When should we wait?

In Guishu, I saw the shadow of director Xin Haicheng himself.
Persistence to the heart, persistence to the self, persistence in seeking a path to oneself.
And the persistence of the few people in this world who walk alone for real happiness.

When I read the first episode, I didn't know the reason, and I shed tears.
The 13-year-old traveled a few miles just to see her again before leaving.
And some fine mastery afterwards, also made me cry.
Watching the entire film, I understand the reason for my grief.
Because of those innocent pasts, we will never go back.
We are all walking lonely in this noisy world. . . . .

    The five-second thoughts of a boyhood are better than the five springs and autumns of adulthood.

    Well, Makoto Shinkai, just how hypocritical you are to be considered finished. The voice of the stars seems to be difficult to surpass.

  • Kanae Sumida (segment "Cosmonaut"): Desperately, reaching recklessly towards the sky... launching that massive object, in search of something almost overwhelmingly far off in the distance...

  • Kanae Sumida (segment "Cosmonaut"): I began to understand why Tono seemed different from the others. At the same time, I came to a very clear realization that Tono was never looking at me. So that say, I didn't say anything to Tono. Tono is certainly nice... very nice indeed... but... Tono's always looking past me... at something far beyond. I guess my wishes to be with Tono will never come true. But still... but I still won't be able to stop loving him. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. I fell asleep that night crying, the only thoughts in my head being of Tono...
