Measure in Love (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Precious is the nature, yet also the

cruelest. It can distort space, and time.

After a catastrophic earthquake, the Gravity

Wall rose between the ocean, dividing two zones:

The Aurora Zone with normal gravity and

The Evergreen Zone with lower gravity,

distorting time a year in

Evergreen equals a day in Aurora.

The wall's impenetrable heat allows

crossing only at sunrise when it cools.

Despite strict travel regulations,

socializing between zones persists.

A warning is in effect from

the Gravitation Data Bureau.

Another earthquake is fast-approaching.

All are advised to be on the alert.

Copy.

Due to the instability of the Gravity Wall,

all vessel movements are suspended.

What's going on?

Don't you know you're about to

become a fully-qualified doctor?

Julian, I need some space.

Hey, stop.

Stop the engine.

Stop now!

Ann-Jean.

He's gone.

He wanted you to have this.

Should I start telling this story

from here?

Tato left,

he went back to the Evergreen Zone.

He shouldn't have come here seven days ago,

nor should he have gone back right now,

to the other side that's not far from here.

We

live in two different times.

The Gravity Wall is cooling down, quick.

Closer.

Watch your hand.

It's too late.

That's enough, we don't have more room.

It wouldn't be a problem

if you come over more often.

You won't let me, that's why.

A few days for you is a few years for me.

No income and no food.

The sunrise only happens

once a year on our side.

Unlike here.

You guys always say ok.

Who's gonna dump your junk

when my boat falls apart.

We'll let you handle the

rest, see you next year.

We'll see about that in a year.

Pops.

Hurry.

Is your foot better?

Pops, have you seen Tato?

Get inside first.

All aboard?

Still missing one.

Sorry, this place was hard to find.

Be careful on your first crossover, Julian.

It's dawn, off we go.

On the fifth day Tato left,

The White Doves,

finally managed to travel to

the Evergreen Zone again.

These five days

is five years for Tato.

Give me a hand, it's heavy.

What is this?

There is less gravity

on the Evergreen Zone,

these anklets will keep

you steady on the ground.

Hold on tight.

It's like that for everyone's first trip.

It will take you some time to adjust.

The first time I came over,

I threw up bile.

Hey, don't you dare soiling my boat.

When has this crappy boat ever been clean?

So what is the Evergreen Zone like?

One year on that side,

is merely one day on ours.

Had I not experienced

what the Gravity Wall could do,

I wouldn't have believed it.

Gravity distorted the time.

So they can capitalise on the time

difference to maximise productivity,

causing all the factories

to relocate there.

Quick.

Let me help you.

Get in.

There is only one hospital

at the Evergreen Zone.

So their medical resources are scarce.

The factories here operate day and night.

And the air is always dense with pollution.

The White Doves is here once a year,

but we can only take

care of the poor in secret.

Dr. Chow's greatest concern

is the arrival of the Heat Storm.

For all the crossings across the ocean

would have to be put on halt by then.

Careful.

Make a fist, I'll give you a jab now.

What's the situation?

We need more antibiotics.

Give it to Bed 7 first.

Dr. Chow,

I brought some, I'll get it.

Could you give me a hand?

He has small veins.

Look, here.

Take off the tourniquet afterwards.

Remember.

Dr. Chow,

don't we even have the basics?

That's all.

Milk, eggs, spinach and oranges?

You are looking at calcium,

protein, iron and vitamin C.

You're just gonna let

nature take its course?

Food is medicine,

when the latter is scarce.

Will Tato be here today?

If this is all we're prescribing,

then what are we even doing here?

And who on the earth is this Tato?

How did he get his hands

on all these supplies?

How did he dare to come over to our side?

35 days ago,

it was my first time setting foot

in the Evergreen Zone.

It was my first time meeting him.

Make way...

A young thief of 13,

who made his living by stealing

with his younger brother.

Make way...

The two didn't even have proper names.

The younger one was Mato.

The elder one,

was Tato.

Go have a look!

Okay.

I'm going treasure hunting,

meet me by our usual spot.

The ambulance is here.

Hurry.

Can't believe you are even stealing now.

Are you out of your mind?

Zo... Zoe, Tato.

Put this bag away, quickly.

Are you alright?

It really hurts.

Here, I have a permit.

Get in.

Get in.

Who is this?

He is a new temp worker from the factory.

No temps.

The hospital won't take him.

Hey kid.

Stop that, get off.

This isn't you in the photo...

Get off.

Tato.

Ta... to.

Stay awake, Tato!

Ta... to!

What are you doing?

Let go.

Let go of him.

Let go.

Let go!

It hurts.

Let me look at your wound.

It will hurt, just hang on.

Ann-Jean.

His wound is infected.

Give him a shot first.

No.

No!

This is not the place to yell.

You'll be alright.

Lights off.

What is it?

Is it the Patrol?

Just some abandoned sewer, nothing special.

Let's go.

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

I picked a bunch of daisies.

They are in this rare shade of blue.

So pure,

and laced with a sense of

resilience.

It is not easy to grow

in this kind of environment.

It reminds me a bit of

here.

My curiosity towards this place,

and the need for more clinical experience

before qualifying as a doctor

have led me to the Evergreen Zone,

and into Tato's world.

Mato, here they come.

Just do it as we practised.

Ouch.

Dr. Chow, I hit somebody.

What did you do?

That really hurts.

Come here.

I'll get the doctor.

Where's the kid?

Come here.

You okay? Where does it hurt?

Mato.

Mato.

I'm his older brother.

Do you remember me? We met last year.

Wait for me here.

It hurts a lot.

Slowly.

Let me see the wound first.

There're still patients in the back,

I'll bring them in.

We can't possibly treat them all

with what we have.

I... I can get more from the hospital.

That's too risky.

You've been caught several times already.

It's just stealing,

I'll be out in a few years.

Stealing? I can go.

The adults are talking.

Go watch your little brother.

My watch!

Let's go, big guy!

We have work to do.

Take it after your meals.

I feel terrible,

can I have a few more doses?

No.

You get what you're prescribed.

Now go away.

Put them inside.

Who's there?

Zoe.

This little thief has made

himself useful after all.

And took care of some issues for us.

Like a little grown-up,

he always says to me:

"Don't be afraid, I am here"

and I believe him, too.

Give me back my watch.

These are for you.

I said give it back.

You either leave or you get inside,

you can't just hang around here.

I have to take care of my brother,

how long will you stay?

Hey kid,

leave Miss Ann-Jean alone,

she's very busy.

Still,

thank you for your help today.

I am happy to stay and help.

The work we do here

must be kept strictly between ourselves.

Take these, they can relax your airways.

Where are your parents?

They are working at your side,

trying to make money

for Mato's medical fee.

I have no idea when they will be back.

Breathe in.

If you can, get this kind of med,

in this color.

Don't you worry, I will manage for sure.

This won't do.

Mr. Director, you know

how frequent are these power cuts.

They affect all the other factories too.

But don't worry, I'll get them sorted.

Use Rifampin for antibiotics.

And Paracetamol for fever and pain relief.

The supervisor is coming back now.

These meds are expiring,

are there anything new?

What about the blue box?

No, there is nothing left.

Stop!

Not more than one of each kind.

Are we not good enough to have these?

Don't.

Pay up.

My kiss is worth millions.

You can't do that.

Thank you, bye.

Incredible!

Mato.

Mato, take a deep breath.

Slowly...

Take a deeper one.

Feeling better?

Don't be afraid, Mato.

I'm here,

we'll be fine once we

get to the White Doves.

Hang in there.

Hang in there., Mato! We're almost there.

Pour the medicine into here,

Hold this.

Turn on the machine after inserting it.

This isn't for you.

It's for Mato.

This will help with his asthma.

But we don't have this machine at home.

Tato.

Just remember what Miss

Ann-Jean is teaching you.

I'm going to show you a

few acupuncture points,

they will help with Mato's asthma.

One between the collarbones.

Now lower your head.

Another one on the side of the C7 vertebra.

The last one

is at the end of the collarbone.

Can you behave?

Miss Ann-Jean, but it tickles.

See?

Each time I'm here,

I only have very little time to work.

Please stop getting in my way.

I am sorry, Miss Ann-Jean.

In just a few days,

this little thief I knew,

had somehow turned into a young lad.

I can't describe this feeling,

but I'm beginning to look

forward to coming over.

Pops,

can you teach me how to steer a boat?

Why would I do that?

So I can help when you can't do it anymore.

You gotta wait a long while then.

I can go pick up trash with you, Pops.

Tired of being a thief, eh?

Well.

I am a big boy now.

I want a proper job,

so I can take Mato to

the other side for treatments.

You're asking the wrong person.

Attention all passengers.

Your vessel has been

selected for inspection.

Anyone entering the Evergreen Zone

must present their permits.

You can't get off today.

Hide quickly.

What's happening?

A huge amount of meds

have been stolen lately.

So they're doing loads of inspections

here these days.

Hide.

Hurry up.

Take the bags.

Give me... the bags.

Careful.

Will Tato and Mato be alright?

Tato is too smart to get caught.

He will be alright.

I only made it back here a few days later.

Make way.

Over there.

We... we are here.

She's been in lab our for over ten hours.

We'll take it from here.

We need more help.

Quick, over here.

Do... ctor... what... to do?

Prep for surgery right away.

Tato, Tato.

Prep the surgery table!

Ann-Jean.

Ann-Jean.

Mato, stay here with her.

It... it won't hurt.

Here.

One... two... three.

Make way.

We're here to help you,

hang in there.

Curtains.

Anesthesia.

We don't have enough left.

It's good enough.

Listen,

we're low on anesthetic,

so it's gonna be very painful.

Keep holding on You got this.

Try to regulate your

breathing, deep breaths.

Inhale through your nose

exhale through your mouth.

You're doing great.

Breathe in.

Hold on.

Breathe out...

Breathe in...

Hold on.

Breathe in and out.

I need another set.

Copy.

You can't touch them.

You need to put on gloves

before touching blood.

Gloves...

Mato, put... put gloves on.

Put... gloves... on.

Tato, get the surgical sponges.

G... loves.

Not for you, they're for me.

Mato, come here.

Hold her down.

Tato, clear the trolley.

For the baby.

Almost there, keep holding on.

Breathe in... and out.

I see the head...

Here it is.

Dr. Li.

Yes, allow me.

Damn, there's no breathing.

One...

Two...

Three...

Come on, little one!

Four...

Come on!

Five...

You got this!

Get up, little one.

Six...

Come on.

Eight...

Stay... calm.

Nine...

How's the baby doing?

Gonne... be alright.

Come on now!

Hang in there!

We did well.

Hi there, little one.

You have a daughter.

We don't have much time,

let's go.

I'll clean up, you should head back now.

If the mother gets an infection,

give her this.

The quality is great,

so won't interfere with her breast-feeding.

I'm more worried about the baby,

she's underweight.

You have got to feed

her on time, understood?

Gosh. Can't believe I'm telling

all these to a young boy...

NSAIDS,

Ibuprofen, Aspirin, I have one box of each.

Don't worry,

I'll make sure she puts on weight.

I'll be off then.

Miss Ann-Jean.

They're squashed.

Thank you.

So who is this Tato?

Tato's car is here.

Zoe.

You alright?

We came across the Patrol just now,

but Tato jumped off and distracted them.

They've been everywhere lately,

luckily you've kept moving.

They went to where you last stationed.

Did they find anything?

No.

Here, take these inside.

Zoe.

Miss Ann-Jean,

it's been a while.

Yes, indeed.

The medicines are all here. I'm off.

I have to go get Tato.

Be careful.

Mato is gone.

Have you named her yet?

Of course.

Waffle.

Waffle.

Stay still.

Done.

Thank you... Zoe.

Alright.

Your turn, Tato.

What're you doing?

What're you doing?

What?

Not the same indeed.

Not the same with what?

Not the same?

Not the same with whom?

Alrighty.

Let's give you

the same haircut as Mato's.

Ah, no! No! No!

I don't want to look like him.

Give... give him the same.

Over there.

Mato.

Don't you dare!

How dare you?

Let's shave Zoe's head.

Shave... shave her head.

I didn't pick them,

I grew them myself.

Now you try.

Surgical drape first.

Pain relief.

Anesthetize.

Four corners.

Once,

and once more.

Who taught you this?

Just by being at the

hospital these few years.

Cleaning.

And watching the

doctors do their diagnoses.

Naturally I picked up

something here and there.

And your mannerisms, your face

they are all in my head.

Clean this up,

and get these disinfected please.

Annie.

Waffle.

How are you?

Uncle Tato.

Mummy made egg waffles, here you go.

I want some too.

I don't want these waffles,

I want the fresh Waffle.

She's way too adorable.

Thanks to all of you.

To be honest, it's all Tato and Mato.

Is it a Heat Storm?

Stay calm.

Mummy.

Let's pack up.

Mummy.

Take these antibiotics only when necessary,

that's all we have left.

Remember that.

Could it be a Heat Storm?

I heard the last one

went on for a dozen days.

What? Are we gonna be

trapped here for ten years?

I wouldn't have come if I knew.

We are all here voluntarily,

so please decide if you would

like to take this risk.

Dammit! Roadblock!

Spot check.

Show your permit.

Don't be afraid.

What's in the back?

What's going on?

Nothing must happen to the White Doves.

I kept on praying hard, Nothing

must ever happen to the White Doves.

Wishing that we could make it through.

Move!

You heard me.

Coming.

Quick, come help! Or

we'll all be stuck here.

Reverse.

Keep going.

Can we let the trucks go?

Go ahead.

You can go now.

Right, thanks.

If anything happens,

I won't be able to come over anymore.

Miss Ann-Jean,

I'm pregnant again.

Again?

I feel like Waffle was just born yesterday.

But... there's a bit of bleeding.

You have to rest more.

And eat healthy.

Okay, no problem.

Thank you, bye.

Miss Ann-Jean.

Wait a minute.

Let's go over this again.

I've written it all out very clearly.

Why do we need to go over it again?

I can't read very well,

I don't want to get it wrong.

If these two are out of stock,

you can use this one as substitute.

Do you understand?

The current stock can't

sustain for a whole year.

You have got to get more from the hospital.

Ann-Jean.

Give him our channel.

So if he has any questions later,

he can send us a telegraph code.

Telegraph... code?

Stone.

Do we still have any more

telegraph transmitters?

Let me ask Pops.

Let me read it.

Hand it over, you haven't got a clue.

I do!

Mato, repeat after me.

Communication between

the two sides is viable,

only... through the radio signals

from the transmitters

that can penetrate the Gravity Wall.

Can... penetrate...

Undetected by others.

Undetected by others.

Un...

Concealing... the messages...

within the radio waves.

It's moving...

She replied! She replied!

Tato.

What did she say?

How do you read that?

Uncle Tato...

Blood...

She's going into lab our.

La... bour?

Zoe...

Z... oe.

What is it?

Help... please.

Make sure she stays

awake, she got to stay awake.

You... you can't fall asleep.

Faster, Tato! Go faster!

L... et me play you a song.

Hold... hold onto mummy's hand.

Mummy.

Waffle.

Waffle is here.

!Don't... don't sleep.

Hurry, Tato.

Mummy.

We are almost there.

Waffle.

I am sorry, Waffle.

It's all my fault.

Mato, are you done crying?

What will you say to Waffle?

What... should I say?

Wa... waffle.

Don't... be afraid.

I am... here.

We are here.

Don't... be afraid.

Tato, you need to learn how to

use these meds by heart.

So you'd know how to apply them

if anything happens.

Say for Waffle and her reactive airways,

you can treat her with

Beclometasone and Budesonide.

Bude...

That's how you spell "Beclome... ".

Also, beware of the side-effects.

You are in charge now.

Tato.

Hand me that infusion bottle.

Right.

Tato.

Tato.

Come over here.

I'll teach you how to give

an intravascular injection.

Steady your hand.

Take your aim.

Calm your mind.

Now.

Nervous?

A bit.

Waffle's mother suffered

a haemorrhage after a premature birth.

Situations like that must be dealt

with at the hospital.

Even I might not have

been able to handle it.

So there aren't any

daisies in the vase today.

Wait here.

Are you alright?

That was scary.

Are you ok?

All good, thanks

I'm ok, be careful.

Careful.

Why are there so many earthquakes lately?

They say the gravity has been a bit off.

Dr. Chow.

Has our base camp been moved?

No.

Why does it seem much further than before?

Careful.

Thank you.

Stone.

What were you "HA HA HA" ing about?

Ha ha ha?

Z... oe.

Did you bring them?

Why do you want my clothes?

I have to take Ann-Jean to the old town,

but her clothes are blood-stained,

and not really appropriate.

Miss Ann-Jean.

Zoe.

You've met before.

I don't recall.

Thank you for taking care of Waffle.

Come... come in.

Why would you thank me?

How's that any of your business?

Why're you going over to the old town?

I'm taking her to Master

Kao to fix her watch.

Would you like some sweet potato?

No, thanks.

No one can do it at your side?

Hard to believe.

Oh yes,

I brought over some meds.

Mato,

this is imported and very good.

You can't find it here.

Take this when your asthma gets really bad.

Thank you... Miss... Ann-Jean.

These are for Waffle.

I'll leave them with you, Zoe.

She needs enough nutrients

to boost her immunity.

Have her take these daily.

Say thank you.

Say thank you.

Don't let anyone know about this,

not even Dr. Chow.

Alright?

Alright.

Thanks.

I have some clothes here.

Do have a look.

They're quite nice.

This one.

Let's see.

And it... goes with

this.

Try it on.

You're huge, Zoe.

How can Miss Ann-Jean fit in them?

You know what this is?

Voluptuous.

I got curves in all the right places.

Give them back then,

I'll wear them.

This... mum's... clothes.

Mum's clothes?

Alright.

Let's go outside and

let Miss Ann-Jean get changed.

Off we go.

Stop staring... shoo.

Alright.

Zoe,

could you give me a hand?

Please.

You were right, my curves are certainly

in all the wrong places.

Not at all.

First, the trousers.

Don't you think Tato is very immature?

All he does is sending you "HA HA HA".

He wants to pursue

you, but has no idea how.

"HA HA HA..."

How dumb.

He still hasn't figured out his typo.

You know about that, right?

Let me.

Let's see.

Great.

Let's add a cardigan.

Mu... m.

Good boy.

Let's go.

Would you be able to fix it?

You're not from around here.

Of course she is.

Are you checking the watch

or checking her out? Focus.

Aren't your anklets a bit loose?

Are you done?

I need more time.

How much more?

Not long now.

How long?

I'll let you know when I'm done.

Alright,

I'll be back in a bit.

Let's go.

Our women here

don't have such soft skin.

You can't fool me.

Mato,

come join us.

Who is it?

It's Uncle... Ping.

Come, I'll show you.

Wait.

I promised Dr. Chow to head back

once the watch is fixed.

But it's not done.

We still have time.

Uncle Ping lived until his 70s.

And died of natural causes,

that's quite something.

We always honour natural deaths

within our community.

Funerals should be joyful.

This way,

our ancestors will bless and watch over us,

as the posterity of the Evergreen Zone.

Goodbye...

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

It's the Patrol. Let's go.

Careful.

Let me ask you this.

Do you think the White

Doves are making a difference

by coming here once a year?

I've actually thought about this.

I've thought about...

Like in Waffle's case,

how we put her in her mother's arms,

when she was born.

But then her mother... died in hers.

And how I can't even

guarantee her health now.

Yet, had the White Doves never existed,

it would have been much worse.

And maybe something

like this would happen daily.

Every single person here

works very hard to live,

and works very hard to live a good life.

That's why you got to become a good doctor,

you know?

No.

If I were to become a good doctor,

would you then stop coming here?

What this place really needs,

is someone who truly cares about here.

And a doctor that can always be reached.

Which is you.

I'm sure you can manage,

if you put your mind to it.

Believe in me, and I can do it.

You'll help me right?

What if one day I can't come back here?

Why wouldn't you be able to?

Who knows what could happen in this world.

If you don't come,

then I will fly to you.

Wearing these?

Take them off then you can fly.

Look.

Tato.

Tato.

Tato.

Give me your hand!

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

I have been in love

with you since I was 13.

And now...

I am 29,

and one year older than you.

Is this just an impulse, or is it real?

How can my feelings

be so strong,

in such a short time.

Are you alright?

One sec.

One day, one year.

Is that possible?

What's up with you two?

I sprained my ankle.

I should've looked after

her. Sorry, Dr. Chow.

Tato, her clothes!

What you did was reckless,

it could've jeopardized

the entire operation of the White Doves.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Be careful.

Your ankle

would take a while to heal.

I am really sorry.

In 30 days' time,

I will become a fully qualified doctor.

A lifetime goal of mine.

30 days...

another measure of time.

What actually is time?

And which side does it belong?

Doctor, has the White Doves'

base camp been moved?

Hush, and make a fist.

Annie is not here again?

She didn't come over this time either?

She hasn't been here for a few years.

Do you feel better?

The meds are harder to come by these days,

even I couldn't get my hands on any.

Germs are now everywhere

with fewer meds available.

More and more factory workers

are getting ill as well.

Our research can hardly

keep up with all this.

Don't you give up.

And look after everyone.

So why hasn't she replied

to any of my messages?

You mean Ann-Jean?

Don't you worry.

I will ask her to get back to you,

Here, take the mask.

Will she visit again?

She said if I worked hard,

she would help me.

She will,

of course she will.

Had you not convinced me

to run this garbage boat,

god knows how hard it would be,

for us brothers to see each other.

Regretting it now?

Not like I could.

Take your meds.

Remember, you can't die yet.

Can I have one more packet?

I already gave you extra last time.

I am really running low.

Remember to take it on time.

These are up everywhere

in the hospital and factories.

Shouldn't you think about your own brother?

We are almost out of meds.

How long are you going

to keep waiting like this?

She won't show up even when the sun rises.

Come... on.

Come... on... Zoe.

Go on...

Let's go check out the

ballgame with the girls.

These meds still need to be packed.

The sunrise won't come in another 6 months.

What's the rush, let's go.

What are you doing here?

So it's you,

who's been nicking our medicines.

Look at you.

You must be worth quite a penny now.

I hear you're also

playing doctor these days.

The White Doves taught you, didn't they?

I learnt everything at the hospital.

I work there too.

Brother Wolf.

My brother is sick,

don't you remember?

I know Brother Wolf very well.

He will do anything for money.

If we give him an amount

similar to the reward,

he will surely let Tato go.

Spill, let's have some names.

What?

The White Ducks?

Never heard of them.

Is that right?

The White Doves, sound familiar?

Yeah...

I'll tell you...

Why didn't you say earlier?

Go on then.

What are you doing?

You're asking for it.

My bro... ther... Tato

is... a good person.

He... wants to help all of you.

You...

Tato... has helped you before.

Please help him.

We're really in need of money.

Sorry, so sorry...

We genuinely don't have enough.

I'll... exchange this with you.

I... can give you this.

Didn't Tato help you lot before?

30... we have 33.

Tato...

Tato...

Get down.

Waffle.

It's alright now.

Back to work everyone.

Dr. Chow.

Should we consider going back?

It's too dangerous here.

Julian, please don't

come with us next time.

If you have any reservations,

for our work here,

You shouldn't force yourself.

Do you all really believe

this place will get better because of you?

Shouldn't you stop giving false hope

to the people here?

You think just because

you are doing good deeds,

you can sleep better at night?

Nothing has changed here,

and nothing can be changed...

But why not?

Did you base your conclusion

on your limited medical knowledge?

Or was it on the boundless resources

you are so used to in the Aurora Zone?

No lives

should be taken for granted.

Agree?

Don't worry.

I'll know when we should go.

Doctor...

I can't breathe.

Don't be afraid,

I'm here.

Due to the instability of the Gravity Wall,

all vessel movements are suspended

until further notice.

Factories are to remain their operations,

with workers resuming

the usual productions.

Ta... to.

The neb...

We're out of

meds for the nebulizer.

Mato.

Come up and play that song for me.

So tall and cute!

I swear.

Must be... beautiful

over... there.

Mum

left and... never came back.

You want to go?

Go... find mum.

We are all grown up now.

She won't recognise us.

She will know it's... me... when I speak.

Let's go get help.

Go... find

the people we love?

Let's fly over.

You think it's that easy to get over there?

Just like that?

Do you know how much longer till it's dawn?

Do you know what the Gravity Wall can do?

You could die, you know?

Pops.

You must know a way.

I know you always pick up

the White Doves before sunrise.

You've got to know a way.

I don't.

I can learn it, no matter what.

I said no.

Pops.

We're running out of meds.

I am at my wits' end.

There is

just me on my own.

Yet there are,

so many people here who need help.

I beg you.

We'll come back once we find

Dr. Chow and get the meds.

Please, just this once.

Please help us...

Have you two ever been apart before?

You two...

One of you need to stay here.

I will only take the other.

I see a gap!

Put this on or get burned alive.

Remember.

As the heat passes through your body,

you have to make yourself disappear.

This is the only way to make

it through the Gravity Wall.

You can't fight against nature.

Get down.

Stay still.

Surrender to it.

Look over to that building.

Just head towards its direction.

I'm worried the Heat Storm

will happen any minute now.

It's too risky.

Nothing will be able

to penetrate the Gravity Wall then.

Not even radio waves.

Could you be a bit more gentle please?

I know this guy.

There's no permit on him,

he might have crossed over illegally.

Or he might have just misplaced it.

Gentlemen...

Dr. Chow.

Dr. Chow is here.

He is a patient of mine.

Don't move.

He does not have permit.

Tato...

You need to take good care of Mato.

Tato...

Goodbye.

Mato...

Tato...

Tato... Mato is okay.

How long have I been asleep for?

Seven days.

I have to go back.

No, not right away.

It's night time now.

You need to take your meds.

Here.

What did you give me?

Your body is struggling to

adapt to the gravity here.

The pill you took,

will help you feel better soon.

I should head back.

Will you tell Dr. Chow...

I'll head back once I get more medications.

They are running really low.

You guys never came back.

And we...

We really need you there.

Don't you worry...

We have been waiting

for the right time too.

I told you before...

If you don't come to me, I will fly to you.

I know... but I need some time.

I... really

really need to think this over.

It's been twenty years,

how much longer do you need?

How much longer?

Come back with me.

Come with me.

Stay and help me.

Stay.

But twenty years for you

is not twenty years for me.

You keep forgetting

our clocks are not the same.

Look.

Do you still remember the first time

you held my hand.

Back then,

my hands... were smaller than yours.

And now,

they are bigger than yours.

Be it your time or my time, I don't care.

My love for you,

will forever be

here.

And it will never,

ever change.

I will let Dr. Chow know you are awake.

No.

Dr. Chow.

Could I... possibly ask

you about something?

There are certain things

other people can't give you an answer for.

Actually... I wanted to ask

whether it is possible,

for people from the

other side to stay here?

Why don't you ask yourself

would you choose to stay there?

Decision... demands courage.

And above all,

enough love.

Are you alright?

You are not well.

Please go back and rest.

What is this?

Please tell her...

The watch is working now.

I'm going home.

I'm so sorry.

We thought you were dead.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

These years...

Mato and I only had each other.

Until... he passed away.

This story, won't end here.

I've got to see Tato again.

I've got to tell him that...

Decisions... are tougher than

getting a medical license.

But now... I've made up my mind.

I've decided to...

What's going on?

Retreat.

Waffle.

Look after the patients.

Annie.

Let me help you.

Hurry up.

Get in the truck, here.

Patients in that one.

It's here.

It's Uncle Tato's car.

Hurry.

Careful.

Dr. Chow,

how can I help?

Waffy.

Waffy, mum and I are here to get you.

Here.

I brought these for you.

Just are some antibiotics and vitamins.

Plenty in here, you've

had all of them before.

I've labelled everything.

We have to go.

Annie.

Do take care.

Miss Ann-Jean,

take care.

Ann-Jean, come on in.

Ann-Jean, we have to go.

Warning.

The Heat Storm is

approaching the Gravity Wall.

All vessels should return

to the dock immediately.

Warning.

The Heat Storm is

approaching the Gravity Wall.

Where is Pops' boat?

Where is the boat?

That way.

Watch out.

Throw me the bags.

Ann-Jean,

get on.

Dr. Chow,

I'm not going back.

I have work to do here.

I'll stay with you.

You'll lose decades if you stay.

Go back.

No, Dr. Chow...

Let's each put in our own efforts.

You can do it.

Start the boat.

No, don't!

Dr. Chow.

Is that you?

Take me with you.

Ann-Jean.

Miss Ann-Jean.

I understand.

Don't cry...

Everyone made it back safe and sound?

Hush, you old goat.

They are all safe.

You think I'm a broken record.

Not quite broken enough.

If it weren't for you, old goat,

if it weren't for this crappy boat,

there wouldn't be the White Doves.

Rest up.

What next?

Sail on.

Time

will not stand still.

The Heat Storm lasted for 30 days.

Though it felt like it had been 30 years.

The White Doves had eventually disbanded.

And I finally become

a fully-qualified doctor as well.

For 30 days...

Nothing could have made

it through the Gravity Wall.

Yet it couldn't stop me from missing him,

and the Evergreen Zone.

Is he still around?

Over the time, the Gravity

Wall had disappeared.

Around this time

a man came to see me.

He told me, he's the son of Zoe.

You can call me Gust.

You are more like your father then?

My father died before I was born.

I was brought up by my uncle.

So a lot of people

say I'm more like him.

Are you not Tato's son?

Actually, Mato was my father.

Before my mother passed,

she made me promised to come find you,

and bring you here to visit.

Uncle had always called

himself an amateur doctor.

But it was his wish

to found a hospital,

and have doctors from

the Aurora Zone to practise there.

In the past

countless patients stayed down here.

Uncle used to always say,

had it not been Dr. Chow and you,

He would probably

have been a life-long thief.

Do you still remember Waffy?

She had also passed away.

I think this photo

was likely the only one...

Uncle had ever taken in his life.

My mum had later told me this in secret:

It was you

who changed his life.

Be it your time or my time,

I don't care.

Be it your time,

or my time, I don't care.

Be it your time,

or my time, I don't care.

My love for you

will forever stay at the same moment.

And it will never,

ever change.
