Post by bunniefuu »

The train

where did it disappear to?

Space time...

POSSIBILITIES OF TIME TRAVEL

The edge of space time?

FUTURE / PRESENT / PAST

Could we

move to this train?

Please.

More adults we don't know.

What do they want?

They want to join us.

Why?

You know, their leader disappeared.

So all that's left are rough old dudes.

And we have

the cool Mr. Shirahama,

the genius Kato-chan,

and me, the cutie-pie.

Really?

And me?

Huh?

You skipped me.

Um...

The mysterious Mr. Kayashima?

Did he like it?

You're safe.

-Ah, I'm glad.
-You're safe.

Right when I finally got used to
these people, now this?

I've been able to see through things
ever since I was little.

Kaho? She's the worst!

People who talk bad about others,
only make themselves look bad.

The weakest act tough.

Look at you, working hard.

You should take a break from dating
and focus on your exams.

Yes, sir.

My father who loves his son.

I'm getting a drink.

Come to the next dinner party with me.

My mother who only loves herself.

But Koharu...

Hey, why are you smiling?

What?

You think it's stupid, don't you?

It's fine.

You don't have to smile.

She saw right through me.

It was reassuring.

I want to go home.

That brings me back.

-Right?
-Show me.

We have the future ahead of us.

I'll make her happy.

I won't hesitate now.

-They got that bag in the end.
-Yeah...

To lose what little we have is worrying.

Yes.

Hey.

What's it say?

As Yamamoto said, it details
the event of that great disaster.

December 9th, 2026.

Before that it's just a ship's log.

There could be a hint.

Ah! And that rock too.

It could be.

It might look normal now,
but it glows under the aurora.

What could it be?

Will you study it with us?

Of course.

I'll help too.

Hey, guys!

We might be able to get salt.

-Huh? Salt?
-What?

That would be awesome!

I've had it!
The other group pisses me off so much!

What do you mean
we might be able to get salt?

Did they find a way to the ocean?

Explain, Akashi.

The car six people said there's
a hot spring near the river bed.

Hot spring?

Of course!

W-What is it?

Explain, Akashi.

You can get rock salt by
boiling off hot spring water.

Rock salt?

-Yes.
-I've heard of that.

So I went to check it out,

and do some fishing while I was at it.

The car six people said we had to go way
up or down the river to catch our fish.

And the hot spring is in their territory,
so we have to stay out.

I would've kicked their asses
if Akashi wasn't there!

Come on, don't say that.

-But...
-Wait, are those two...?

-Alright.
-Just leave it.

Maybe we should go talk to them.

I'll go.

What? By yourself?

It might be better
to just drop by casually.

It's way too dangerous
after that huge brawl we had!

I'll come with you.

Our group wouldn't survive
if something happened to you.

You're so clueless.

You know what keeps her going?

It's you.

I'll be okay.

I'll go.

While I'm at it,

I might go move in with them.

What?

Huh? Move? Why all of a sudden?

We're finally getting somewhere
figuring out a way back.

Sorry, kid.

You know,

I honestly don't believe
for a second we can make it back.

If I'm gonna survive here, then I'll go
where there's more food and water.

If it seems a good fit,

I might go join them.

Stop joking around.

-I'm coming with you.
-No.

You're their hero here.

Alright.

You got this.

Guys,

take care.

Wait.

Wait a second!

You're really going?

Mr. Kayashima!

Bye.

The wind is warm.

I feel a storm coming.

Wind.

Starting to blow.

Rain is close.

Rain.

Water is precious.

What?

I see you.

We'll come with.

We thought it would be best

if you had us chill peace lovers
keep your hot head in check.

You can be a little violent,

so having us nice guys could help
keep things friendly.

I don't need your help, go on home.

- Oh! W-Wait!
-Hurry!

Wait!

Go home!

Knock, knock!

Just three of you?

Yeah. I'm the only one with business.

Hey,

could I join your car?

Huh?

This group seems more fun,
and a better fit for me.

I'm a hair stylist.

I can cut hair,

and be pretty useful.

You wanna join us after that throwdown?

Oh!

Okay, then.

Oi! The hell you want?

How about we play for it?

SNAKE EYES DOUBLES

Okay.

-You can join if you win.
-Alright!

But,

if you lose, you leave those tools.

Woah! Nice!

These?

Let's head back, Mr. Kayashima.

Sure!

Why?

But,

these are my really important trade tools.

So,

you gotta sweeten the pot.

It's coming together.

They said they still need more.

-Where should I put this?
-Ah, over here. Thanks.

Any luck with food?

We have to go pretty far.

There's not much left.

Good work.

Let me have a look.

This is all that's left.

Oh, my.

This isn't going to be enough
for everyone.

We need to add more beds outside
to take in more from the other camp.

Mr. Kayashima and I will first...

Mr. Kayashima

will come back, right?

If he doesn't,

I'll talk to him tomorrow.

Thank you.

What?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

I just remembered seeing you
like that before.

Me?

Yes.

I ran into you on my way home
from school one day.

I thought "Ah! He's the one
from the fire demo."

I wasn't sure if I should say hi.

Before I could,

it was my stop.

But

if we can get back one day,

I'll be able to say hi, won't I?

I'd be hurt if you ignored me.

Alright...

That's from the okonomiyaki shop girl?

EXTINGUISH FIRE

What?

Sorry,

I overheard you talk about her.

Oh...

-I want cod roe.
-Cod roe? Nice!

-Welcome.
-Hi!

Welcome.

Yes.

It's from her.

I hope,

you'll be able to see her again.

And you can tell her how you feel.

There you are! Can you come with me?

This way.

What?

What do you want?

Did you come to steal something else?

-Over my dead body!
-Wait!

-Ms. Tachibana!
-Calm down!

Here.

It's yours.

Oh! Fish.

T-Thank you.

And

the salt, too.

Right.

The salt.

From now on,

you are free to take as much as you want.

Thank you.

What the hell?

What's with the complete 180?

Why all of a sudden?

What more do you want?

If I win,

you let the other group catch fish
wherever and whenever.

Huh?

Also,

let them get salt as well.

Salt?

So?

Who goes first?

-Four, four, six!
-Yeah!

-Four, five, six!
-Yes!

I won?

I won!

He did?

Woah...

Come on.

Wow!

Big haul!

So good!

I'm pretty good at grilling fish.

Did you cook a lot?

Nothing fancy.

I can do the basics.

Why'd you leave all of a sudden?

What?

You miss me?

The guys from car six came by.

They said you talked it out.

You know,

I usually have pretty good luck
when it counts.

I mean, if I lost,

I figured I'd throw a few punches and run.

Did you leave

for me and Ms. Hatano?

Is that why?

Then honestly, I don't need your...

Like hell I would.

We're not in high school.

I have someone back home.

I told you about her.

From the okonomiyaki place.

She's gone.

She's already gone.

I'll make it back.

And see her again.

I'm sure she feels the same.

And she's waiting for me.

That's what I believe.

That would suck.

I'd hate it if my brother
was waiting for me like that.

Tatsuya.

How about we stop doing this.

I'll deduct the amount you've taken
from your paycheck.

So no harm done.

I'm sorry.

What are you spending it on?

-We can talk to the police if you're...
-It's forthe police!

What?

I have a friend who knows a cop.

He's going to share information with me.

What?

Naoya's accident...

After the first few weeks,
it's barely in the news!

So I wanted inside information.

-But they said I needed more money!
-Idiot!

You know

they're lying to you.

What?

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Naoya.

I want to see you.

I hope he forgets about me.

Forget

laugh and have a good life.

Wishing for that

is all I can do.

All we can do.

Hey!

Fishing time is up, man!

Ebi-chan!

I saw a spider web!

They only spin webs under trees
when the weather turns.

Get back to the train.

Got it.

Whoa!

You got an eel!

Pretty nice.

That.

That rock!

Oh, this?

Do you all have a second?

Someone from the other group called
Mr. Ebihara told me

that this is most likely a meteorite.

Meteorite?

And the aurora we can see at night

is a disturbance in the magnetosphere.

Magnetosphere?

-I hate science talk.
-Hand me your sketch book.

-Sure.
-Thanks. Alright...

Around the Earth,

there's the magnetosphere.

It's like a forcefield that protects
us from energy particles.

This magnetosphere
was disrupted by some force,

and the aurora we see
is evidence of that disruption.

By some force?

What could it be?

Masaru.

Yeah?

You said you saw a sh**ting star
the day we were brought here.

Yeah.

This could've been a supernova event.

The massive energy generated created
a black hole that ripped open spacetime,

sending the train beyond.

Beyond where?

NEW SECURITY FOOTAGE OF THE MISSING TRAIN
WHAT'S THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS PHENOMENON

If...

If this tunnel became a wormhole...

The earthquake and sh**ting star

could've been a supernova.

There's someone
at my university in that field!

Um...

Found it.

Excuse me.

Let's see.

RYOHEI HASUMI

-There.
-Who's this?

A world-renowned professor
who's won many awards.

Look at this!

"If a wormhole opens,
then time travel is possible."

What is that?

None of this makes sense to me.

Have you seen this?

This is a wormhole.

And

the day of that accident,

we traveled from 2023
to roughly 30 years into the future,

the world of 2060.

This is time travel.

So we might be able to get back home
if we find this wormhole?

Theoretically.

We'll be able to go home?

It's still hypothetical.

But this means we're starting
to understand how it works.

Did they say we can go home?

We can really make it back?

But we don't know what it is,

where it is,

or if it will open again.

If we can make it back,

I'd love to go to the hot springs
with my mother.

I'd like to visit my folks as well.

I bet the company will call me in
and grill me with questions.

I want a hamburger and then binge game.

Hey, those are my lines!

I want sake!

I'd love some beer!

A nice cold one!

What's with the wishful thinking?

You dumb?

What?

Did you forget about the disaster
that happens in 2026?

We go back, we all die.

But if we can change the future,

we could save many people.

But if you fail, you'll just sit and
watch everyone die?

If we stay here,

we can live our lives.
Isn't that why we were chosen?

-Chosen?
-Yes.

We were chosen as survivors.

And you're talking about
going back to die.

You're crazy.

What?

You're right.

We should think beyond returning.

To be honest,

I hadn't considered it.

But I think

even if we all should die,

I want to be with my family.

There's too much we don't know.

We're not even sure if we are on

the same planet we're from.

I borrowed a map.

I thought I'd take a walk following it.

We might find something.

Alright.

First off...

We're here.

And car six is here.

I heard.

You bet your precious scissors and won.

For our sake.

Good night.

Are you really leaving?

Did something happen to you here?

You know,

I'm not really into this
buddy-buddy energy.

Not much of a team player.

Their group is all about self-reliance.

It's a better fit for me.

You're such a liar.

If I stay here, I gotta clean
everyone's mess up.

Too many naive and soft people.

That's...

I think I donated enough of my time.

So I'll be joining the others.

I see.

That's your reason.

Then do what you want.

Once you cross that line,
you can never come back!

Stupid, dumb, idiot.

I'd throw salt at you if I had any!

Although, that'd be a waste!

I want some salt!

What's his problem?

If only they all disappeared already.

We could live on our own here.

This is a paradise for folks like us.

I'm not like you.

We're the same.

You and I are the same!

You and I

are the same!

You might be right.

The weather cleared up.

We can manage now.

-Your school's southwest?
-Yeah.

-Let's walk together.
-Yeah.

Here I go.

It should be up ahead.

Your university.

My school.

It should be up ahead.

I'll be back before dark.

Be careful.

See you soon.

Are they that bored?

Getting all sentimental for nothing.

It's so dumb.

Resilience.

What?

People...

We have the power to recover from

all kinds of obstacles and failures.

I'm sure

everyone is trying
to keep from losing heart.

Their former homes,

precious loved ones,

once they can accept
that they're no longer here,

they can move forward.

Thank you again.

See you soon.

Hmm?

Hurry up.

What're you doing?

Hurry up.

Come on.

Come on already.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Nothing.

There's nothing here.

Where did everyone go?

We weren't the ones

who disappeared.

It was them.

This is...

TSUKISHIMA

TSUKISHIMA BRIDGE

TSUKISHIMA BRIDGE

OKONOMIYAKI

There wasn't anything.

We'll find the wormhole.

And go home.

Then we can do everything we promised.

Like go snowboarding,

swim in the ocean in the summer,

go back to our regular lives

and have all the fun we can.

I can't.

I mean, maybe not now,

but when we make it back...

Kazuma.

I'm pregnant.

What?

I'm pretty sure.

I found out after coming here.

So

even if we get back,

there's no regular life waiting.

Even worse, I might burden everyone here.

What should I do?

Hey, what should I do?

Kazuma!

Koharu.

I hope he forgets about me.

Forget

laugh and have a good life.

He's right.

YUTO

Please,

please have a good life.

Filled with happy memories,

and many smiles.

I promise

to do the same.

Thank you.

YUTO

Koharu?

Koharu?

Koharu!

Koharu!

Hey!

Hey! What're you doing out here?

-Koharu!
-Wait!

Calm down.

What happened?

She's what?

I couldn't say anything.

I don't blame you.

That'd shock anyone.

Hey, you gotta stay calm.

Don't run off on your own.
I'll help you look for her.

When Koharu told me,

you know what I thought?

"Dad's gonna be mad at me."

Right?

After all this, I'm still worried
about what he thinks.

I'm...

I'm so pathetic.

And Koharu saw right through me.

After all the crap we've said
about adults.

This is all I am.

I hate myself.

I've got a hopeless story like that.

I was grilling fish.

Huh?

Fish?

It was raining then too.

Tatsuya.

Make sure you warm up first.

Okay.

Naoya?

It's your mother.

Let me in.

I know you're there.

Naoya.

I didn't let her in.

Because

she abandoned my brother and me.

Koharu?

Koharu?

-Koharu!
-Where is she?

Koharu!

I saw her go that way!

Koharu!

What happened to her?

-I'll tell you later.
-What?

Koharu!

Koharu!

Where are you, Koharu?

Where is she?

Koharu!

Koharu!

Koharu!

Koharu!

Koharu!

Hey! Koharu!

Ow.

Come on.

What're you doing?

I'm sorry.

Here.

-Put this on.
-I'm fine.

You're shivering.

Well, you're hardly dressed warm enough.

Here.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Just take it.

I'm not worried about you at all.

I'm making sure you can't complain later.

Why're you always like this?

Just say how you feel.

That you're worried.

Or that you're cold.

Or that you want to go back.

Or that you prefer our group.

Why can't you just say it?

Because I don't.

Why do you always run away?

Hiding how you feel,

lying about it.

Why?

Because I'm scared.

People always leave.

Delivery.

They never come back.

Your trust betrayed.

Then might as well be alone.

Never hope for anything.

I don't expect anything from anyone.

That's running away?

Well, that's who I am.

Don't make me say it, it's pathetic.

I said I'm fine!

Let's all make it back.

And stop this future from happening.

We have to.

Meepo!

Meepo!

Meepo!

Time to move house!

Mr. Shirahama!

The bed!

After all our hard work!

Leave it and get inside! Now!

-But!
-Forget it!

Please don't rush the doors!

Just kidding!

Move out the way!

I'm sleeping here tonight!

Okay!

Meepo!

Meepo!

What happened?

That's...

Is that...?

Could it be?

Meepo!

-Meepo!
-It's too dangerous.

We found a connection

back to our world!

Trust in him!

Let's all go back to our world together.

-Let's hurry.
-Get inside!

I'm making it back.

Don't you die!

Mr. Kayashima!

I hope you all make it.

Come with us!

I'm glad I met you.
