the realm of perfection,

[in Japanese]

Zeniba: I'd like to help you, dear, but there's nothing I can do. It's one of our rules here. You've got to take care of your parents and that dragon boyfriend of yours, on your own.

Chihiro: But, um, can't you even give me a hint? I feel like Haku and I met, a long time ago.

Zeniba: In that case, it's easy. Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it.

[in Japanese]

Chihiro: Listen, Haku. I don't remember it, but my mom told me... Once, when I was little, I fell into a river. She said they'd drained it and built things on top. But I've just remembered. The river was called... Its name was the Kohaku River. Your real name is Kohaku.

[Haku slowly changes into a boy again, permanently shedding away his white dragon skin. The two are falling from the sky, holding each other's hands]

Haku: Chihiro, thank you. My real name is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi.

Chihiro: Nigihayami?

Haku: Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi.

Chihiro: [starts to cry] What a name. Sounds like a god.

Haku: I remember too, how you fell into me as a child. You had dropped your shoe.

Chihiro: Yes, you carried me to shallow water, Kohaku.

[they put their faces close together, close enough to kiss]

Chihiro: I'm so grateful!
