00:00I'd like to tell you a little story.
00:06It happened a long time ago, when I was in the sixth grade.
00:10One day at school, a girl brought a box of hamsters to class, and she was very upset.
00:17She said she started with two, and before she knew it, they'd bred.
00:21Now she had more than she could take care of.
00:24I happily took them for her.
00:26When I got home that day, I filled a big wine jug with water.
00:30Then I dropped the hamsters in, one by one.
00:34When I checked on them three hours later, I couldn't believe my eyes.
00:39One hamster was still alive, standing atop the drowned corpse of one of its siblings.
00:46And I was thrilled.
00:49I named it Spice and decided to keep it for my pet.
00:53Why? Because when I saw it in the jug, it reminded me of a story called The Spider's Thread.
00:59Do you know it?
01:00It's about a sinner in hell named Kandata, who, while alive, once spared a spider's life.
01:06Moved by this act of compassion, the Buddha lowered a spider's thread from paradise down to him.
01:11Kandata started climbing it, and halfway up, he saw his fellow sinners climbing after him.
01:18He tried to knock them off, and then...
01:21The thread snapped, sending Kandata back down to hell.
01:27Now, what I'm about to tell you next might sound hard to believe, but if anyone could understand, it would be you.
01:36Ever since I met Spice, I could see the spider's thread on people.
01:42Whomever had touched, I was compelled to kill.
01:45But then, a boy came along who disrupted my duties.
01:50And wouldn't you know it, I saw the spider's thread attached to him.
01:55I tried to kill the boy, but he didn't die.
02:06So, I nicknamed him Spice, and I kept a close eye on him.
02:11That boy was you, Satoru.
02:41Oh, my man.
03:41That'll be 987 yen, please.
03:54Thanks for shopping with us.
05:41Good morning, kiddo.
05:53Sleep well.
05:54Huh.
06:04He's in great shape for someone who's been in a coma for 15 years.
06:07Fifteen years.
06:11Wow. Talking already. It won't be long before you can start physical therapy.
06:16I heard that for the past 15 years, Mom spent four hours a day giving every joint in my body a workout.
06:26About three years ago, she got one of those EMS monitor thingies to let her know when I was conscious again.
06:34She got another thing to stimulate my muscles.
06:39When I was in fifth grade, I stood about four and a half feet tall.
06:43I'm five foot five now.
06:48Dr. Kitamura said if it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be in as good a shape as I am.
06:54This might be difficult, but I think you're ready for it. Try to answer my next question.
07:01What's the last thing you can remember? Before you lost consciousness, that is.
07:05Okay. I remember. I was...
07:12Wait.
07:19Damn it.
07:24It's like these memories, whatever they are, are locked behind a door.
07:31That's you.
07:35Well, aren't you surprised?
07:37Yeah.
07:38Your face has changed a lot.
07:40The last time you saw it, you were 11.
07:42Well, I guess since your memories are scrambled, it'll take a while before this all sinks in.
07:47It's just a matter of time.
07:49That day, I thought maybe the doc was right.
07:52I should have felt weird waking up in this time, but I didn't.
07:56But the thing is, I should have.
08:00Patience, heart rate monitor, sense of loss, arbitration.
08:05I knew those words.
08:07But when did I learn them?
08:10What the heck happened to me?
08:16Good morning, Satoru.
08:20Morning, Mom.
08:21Guess what? You've got some visitors.
08:24Look who decided to wake up.
08:26You look great. How are you feeling?
08:27I remember Kenya and Hiromi.
08:32They were two of my very best friends.
08:35Kenya's a lawyer now, and Hiromi's a doctor.
08:39We talked for hours about this and that.
08:42Now and then, I got the feeling Kenya wanted to ask me something.
08:46But he didn't.
08:47Maybe Mom told him not to.
08:50We just talked about trivial things.
08:52See you later.
08:55Take it easy.
08:58There was lots of stuff I wanted to ask the guys.
09:02But Mom being Mom, I bet she wanted to avoid that to spare me from the shock.
09:07For 15 years, she dedicated herself to keeping me alive, hoping I'd wake up one day.
09:13If she doesn't want me to remember what happened, it's probably a good thing I don't.
09:28I gotcha.
09:29We'll try it again tomorrow, okay?
09:40Satoru?
09:43Congratulations, Kyle.
10:08Yeah, I'm married.
10:10My last name's Sugita.
10:11No way. So Hiromi's a dad now?
10:14Mm-hmm.
10:15I got the feeling he wanted to tell me something important, and now I know what.
10:19He looks just like him. He's even got the same long eyelashes.
10:23Yep. He's just like his daddy.
10:26We named him Mirai.
10:27That's a cool name.
10:29Means the future.
10:32You know, we felt weird about getting together.
10:35It didn't seem right for us to be happy.
10:38We're alive because of what you did, and because of us, you ended up in a coma.
10:44It felt like...
10:45Like we were leaving you behind, I guess.
10:49Kyle, whatever happened to me happened.
10:53So don't go blaming yourself about it.
10:56I don't have any regrets, because in the end, I'm here because it's where I'm supposed to be.
11:00After being gone for 15 years, you're still a smooth talker.
11:06Oh, I am?
11:09I get what you're saying, Satoru, but before you came along, I thought I'd always be alone in life.
11:14And here I am with my very own family.
11:17You made that possible, so thank you.
11:20She said, thank you, but I can't remember what for.
11:30Uh-oh, someone's hungry.
11:32Okay, okay.
11:43Satoru? Are you okay?
11:45Yeah.
11:46I shouldn't have sprung all this on you.
11:48So, it's a lot to process.
11:50Well, we'll see you later.
11:53Yeah, see you later.
12:12Hey, kiddo. You have a good workout today?
12:15Uh-huh.
12:16Kayo came by a little while ago.
12:18Hmm, I bumped into her outside.
12:20She's got the cutest baby.
12:25Listen, Mom?
12:28What's up?
12:30Not those assholes again.
12:33What?
12:35Paparazzi from the gossip rags looking for a story.
12:38Waking up after 15 years made you a celebrity.
12:41Oh.
12:42Screw them.
12:43Anyway, you wanted to tell me something?
12:45No.
12:47It wasn't important.
12:49Come in.
12:53How are we doing?
12:55So far, so good, Doc.
12:56I was wondering, when do you think I'll be able to walk again?
13:02I don't know.
13:03It depends on you.
13:04If it's okay, I'd like to do twice as much rehab.
13:08Why?
13:08I'd want to walk outside again.
13:10Oh, sure.
13:12I'll see what I can do.
13:13Sorry, I have to take this.
13:16Yes, Director.
13:17Yes, sir.
13:19He's doing great, actually.
13:21He should get all his memories back anytime now.
13:25I'm sorry, no.
13:26Like I told you the other day, I'm not comfortable with that.
13:30With all due respect, he's my patient, not a guinea pig.
13:33I have to go.
13:39You're doing great, Satoru.
13:41Your arms and legs have gotten a lot stronger.
13:44Congratulations.
14:10Way to go.
14:11You walked the whole way without our help.
14:13Awesome job.
14:14Hey, Satoru.
14:28Kenya stopped by for a little visit.
14:31Hi, Kenya.
14:32I hope it's okay I stopped by.
14:34Are you kidding?
14:35Of course it is.
14:36Hello, Satoru.
14:40Have we met before?
14:41Matter of fact, we have.
14:43Your mom and I used to work together back before you started elementary school.
14:48Oh.
14:49Come on, you honestly think he'd remember you?
14:51That was like 20 years ago now.
14:53All right, take care, buddy.
15:01See you later.
15:05We've waited 15 years.
15:07No reason to get impatient.
15:09We should go easy on him.
15:11Yeah.
15:11Hi, Kumi.
15:24Oh.
15:25Hi, Kumi.
15:25Oh.
15:27So the surgery's in two weeks, huh?
15:29They're going to put some of my big sister's bone marrow in me.
15:33They said it'll cure me.
15:35But even so, I'm scared.
15:42You were asleep for 15 years?
15:44I know you've been at this hospital for a while.
15:48What's it been, like three months now?
15:50Mm-hmm.
15:51It's going to be hard to stay motivated in physical therapy once you leave.
15:55You're the reason I was working so hard.
15:57Courage.
16:09Whenever I need courage, here's what I do.
16:13I picture someone I really care about smiling.
16:16It only works if I smile back, though.
16:22The time-traveling pedo.
16:24He wakes up an adult, but he's still a kid at heart.
16:26Still hot for little girls.
16:28Soon he'll be released.
16:30Hide your children.
16:31What do you think?
16:32Good angle.
16:35Taking photos of a civilian without their permission.
16:38Slander.
16:39Trespassing.
16:40If I see you again, I'll call the police.
16:43Get out of here.
16:44Now.
16:47They were some of the prettiest flowers I've ever seen.
16:51Oh, hello, Mr. Nishizono.
16:53Hello, Kumi.
16:56Satoru Fuji-numa.
16:59Uh, yes?
17:01It's me.
17:02Don't you remember?
17:04It's okay.
17:05I've changed a lot since the last time you saw me.
17:08I was your homeroom teacher once, when you were in fifth grade.
17:12I'm Gaku Yashiro.
17:16I go by Manabu Nishizono now.
17:19I changed my name a while back.
17:22Why did you change it, if you don't mind me asking?
17:25Not at all.
17:26I got married five years ago and took on my wife's family's name.
17:29Oh.
17:30My father-in-law was a city council member for a long time, but he passed away three years ago.
17:37I joined the council and took over his constituency.
17:40I kept the kanji for my given name, but I use the more common reading now.
17:44Wow.
17:44A real-life politician.
17:46Just a lowly council member.
17:48Yeah, well, still, I get the feeling you'd be super awesome at politics, Mr. Yashiro.
17:55Anyway, I met Kumi and her parents at a charity event for kids with leukemia.
18:00I know the director of this hospital, so I pulled some strings and got her in.
18:05That's nice of you.
18:07When I heard you came too, I wanted to come visit.
18:10I'm sorry it took me so long, but with work and all...
18:14Well, thanks for taking the time.
18:18To be honest, I've been looking forward to this day for the past 15 years.
18:22Yeah, well, me too.
18:25You don't remember how close we were, do you?
18:28I don't.
18:29Sorry.
18:31No, it's all right.
18:34They said it would take a while before you got your memories back.
18:38You'll remember me in time.
18:48Yeah, well, me too.
19:14The End
19:44You're here. Can I talk to you?
19:46Sure. But let's go someplace we can have some privacy. Away from these reporters.
19:54Don't worry. I know the perfect spot.
20:01Okay. Here we are. I bet you didn't know about this elevator.
20:07Feels like we're going on an adventure, huh?
20:14Would you push the button for the roof?
20:19Hmm. Too bad. The sunset would have been amazing if it weren't raining.
20:43At least we won't be bothered by any paparazzi up here. The roof's off-limits, so don't tell on me, okay?
20:53It's funny. Being up here reminds me of how you, Kenya, and Hiromi always talked about going to your hideout after school.
21:01Yes, you know.
21:02I remember everything, you son of a bitch.
21:10I remember everything, you son of a bitch.
21:40Yes, you know.
21:44Okay.
21:55Oh.
21:57Oh
22:27Oh
