// Prologue
<0001>
// A world, covered in white.
<0002>
// ........
<0003>
// Snow...
<0004>
// Yes, snow.
<0005>
// Continuing to fall down even now, it covers my body in white.
<0006>
// Ahhh...
<0007>
// What am I doing in such a world...?
<0008>
// Since when have I been alone in this place...?
<0009>
// ........
<0010>
// Buried in snow... was my hand.
<0011>
// That hand was holding something.
<0012>
// I pull it up.
<0013>
// A hand of pure white.
<0014>
// It was a girl's hand.
<0015>
// Ahhh... that's right...
<0016>
// I was not alone.
<0017>
// I brushed off the snow covering her face.
<0018>
// The side of her face came into view; one of peaceful sleep.
<0019>
// That's right...
<0020>
// In this world.
<0021>
// We were always together...
<0022>
// In this \wait{800}sad, lonely world.
<0023>
// Illusionary World
<0024>
// I'm watching it.
<0025>
// A distant world.
<0026>
// It's a gloomy place.
<0027>
// I wonder, what is this place...?
<0028>
// It seems like I'm inside a house.
<0029>
// It's quiet.
<0030>
// I see a desk.
<0031>
// There should be people in here, but nobody is there.
<0032>
// Nothing moves...
<0033>
// Just the passing of time.
<0034>
// .........
<0035>
// If I were given a choice of where to be born and gain a new life...
<0036>
// I don't think I'd choose this world.
<0037>
// I became frightened. Frightened of this world.
<0038>
// I had already noticed it for a long time.
<0039>
// That this world had met its end.
<0040>
// Nothing is ever born, and nothing dies here anymore.
<0041>
// Not even the passing of time exists. 
<0042>
// That's why nothing will end.
<0043>
// The next one to be born here will be the last.
<0044>
// Locked in a world that never ends, and a place that no one can get out.
<0045>
// Nothing dies here, so nothing can be born into a new world.
<0046>
// I'm watching this frozen world.
<0047>
// If I close my eyes, I'll be able to leave...
<0048>
// So I think.
<0049>
// Please... the next time I open my eyes, I hope I won't see this world...
<0050>
// I wish for a warmer, more beautiful world.
<0051>
// I voluntarily...
<0052>
// Closed my eyes to this place.
<0053>
// .........
<0054>
// At that moment, a light suddenly flickered.
<0055>
// Something moved.
<0056>
// I don't really know what it was.
<0057>
// But, something did move...
<0058>
// It seems this world hasn't met its end yet...
<0059>
// ... Perhaps something is living in this apocalyptic world.
<0060>
// The light streaming from the window strikes upon the walls.
<0061>
// Part of the shadowed area in this room is moving.
<0062>
// If I can only move my "eyes", I might be able to see what it is.
<0063>
// But, I still don't know what its true form is.
<0064>
// It's slowly moving...
<0065>
// Before long, the wall reflects the light...
<0066>
// And in exchange, I see a lone girl before my eyes.
<0067>
// She seems innocent.
<0068>
// She looks steadily upon me.
<0069>
// I wonder if she can see me?
<0070>
// She tries to extend her hands toward me.
<0071>
// However, the hand does not touch me; for they pass through instead.
<0072>
// That's right...
<0073>
// I haven't been born into this world.
<0074>
// That's why I can't touch anything.
<0075>
// But, if that's the case... \pwhy has that girl noticed me?
<0076>
// It looks like she can see me. -Delwack
<0077>
// In what form does she see me as?
<0078>
// She fanned her hand left and right.
<0079>
// And then she drew back her hand.
<0080>
// She disappeared from sight.
<0081>
// ... There's a person in this world.
<0082>
// What's she doing in an apocalyptic world?
<0083>
// How does she live, and what does she eat?
<0084>
// She's still alive, right?
<0085>
// I wonder, why do I worry about her?
<0086>
// I guess that's what's the same about this world...?
<0087>
// I become frightened again.
<0088>
// ... I can't be born into this world.
<0089>
// But, that girl lives here.
<0090>
// That's why I wonder...
<0091>
// .........
<0092>
// My eyes come upon this world again.
<0093>
// Often coming upon this boring, still world.
<0094>
// But she'd appear from time to time.
<0095>
// We couldn't understand each other's thoughts.
<0096>
// That's why I couldn't see what she meant, and she couldn't see what I meant.
<0097>
// But, certainly...
<0098>
// At that moment, I realized that I've always been waiting for her.
<0099>
// That girl lived in solitude.
<0100>
// With the exception of the girl, no one was around.
<0101>
// That was obvious.
<0102>
// Here, nothing died, and nothing was born.
<0103>
// That's what this kind of world is.
<0104>
// And that is why.
<0105>
// Somehow, she doesn't get tired of watching me.
<0106>
// One day, she appeared in front of me carrying many things in her arms.
<0107>
// They were of various sizes... but all were junk.
<0108>
// I can't help but call them junk... I have no idea how they can be useful.
<0109>
// And there she spent quite some time constructing something out of the junk on that spot.
<0110>
// How much time has passed, I wonder?
<0111>
// In front of her stood a doll half her height.
<0112>
// The girl stood up proudly as she faced me.
<0113>
// I watch her face, and then I finally realize.
<0114>
// That body was made for me.
<0115>
// But, what should I do?
<0116>
// I didn't really understand.
<0117>
// Is it okay to wish...
<0118>
// To be born into this world?
<0119>
// Am I really wishing for that?
<0120>
// Even now, this world frightens me.
<0121>
// Nothing lives or dies here...
<0122>
// A world that will never progress...
<0123>
// But if this is really such a closed world...
<0124>
// Then my existence should end here.
<0125>
// The girl put out her other hand...
<0126>
// I saw how bruised and cut it was.
<0127>
// It was the only thing... that was warm in this world.
<0128>
// Before I knew it...
<0129>
// I wished \wait{800}for \wait{800}that hand.\wait{3000}
<0130>
// Illusionary World
<0131>
// The next scene was the floor.
<0132>
// I'm watching that floor steadily.
<0133>
// What is it? I can feel something coming toward me.
<0134>
// I move my "\bneck"\u  vertically. Doing so, my field of vision changes.
<0135>
// The girl is there.
<0136>
// The girl who has always been watching me.
<0137>
// The girl stretched out her hand to me.
<0138>
// I then faced her and stretched out my own "\bhand".\u
<0139>
// Our hands held on to one another.
<0140>
// I couldn't feel anything but... Even still, I know that we touched each other.
<0141>
// At the same time, I began to feel it.
<0142>
// That I really have been born into this world.
<0143>
// I exist here.
<0144>
// The girl can touch me.
<0145>
// This is a sad world.
<0146>
// But she is tender.
<0147>
// As I touch the girl's hand, my "\bheart"\u was filled with both sadness and tenderness at the same time.
<0148>
// I was born here for her.
<0149>
// I sacrificed everything about living in a new world which would possibly have brought me happiness.
<0150>
// The girl took my hand, helped me stand up, and let go.
<0151>
// Then, she stood several steps before me and clapped her hands.
<0152>
// I started walking in her direction.
<0153>
// That's right... I'm learning how to walk.
<0154>
// My memory's a blur.
<0155>
// If I don't try my hardest, I won't remember.
<0156>
// The girl is clapping her hands.
<0157>
// I walk.
<0158>
// But my legs do not move the way I want them to.
<0159>
// And then, I collapse onto the floor again.
<0160>
// Nevertheless, we keep repeating this process over again, and the girl would take my hand so I could stand up.
<0161>
// How many times have I fallen like this?
<0162>
// Finally, I struggle to stand in front of her.
<0163>
// Even though I was half the girl's height, she took my body into her arms.
<0164>
// \b... You really did well.\u
<0165>
// The warmth.
<0166>
// The only warmth there was in this world.
<0167>
// The warmth that I was searching for.
<0168>
// However, with a body of junk, I couldn't feel that warmth.
<0169>
// I looked up at her face.
<0170>
// I had a lot of things to ask her.
<0171>
// However, I didn't have a mouth, so I couldn't talk to her.
<0172>
// I turned my "\bface"\u  to the window.
<0173>
// It was a window whose light was always bright.
<0174>
// I want to see the outside world.
<0175>
// I want to see this apocalyptic world with my own "\beyes".\u
<0176>
// Illusionary World
<0177>
// I was on the ground where the wind blew.
<0178>
// It felt like the wind was blowing from the ends of the earth as if it's not shut out from this world.
<0179>
// I could feel its force even with this body.
<0180>
// Countless lights flutter about from the blowing wind and onto the ground.
<0181>
// And the girl is standing there in the middle of all this.
<0182>
// As the wind blows again, countless lights fly up from the ground.
<0183>
// The girl gazes upon that scene.
<0184>
// This is the world I was born into.
<0185>
// It's kind of like a fantasia... that's what I thought.
<0186>
// This world even has trees, grass, and maybe even stones rolling about, as if it's natural.
<0187>
// I think that's how it's supposed to be.
<0188>
// However, what is this light?
<0189>
// I certainly have no idea what this spectacle is.
<0190>
// The wind blew again, and a single light passed by me.
<0191>
// I chased after it.
<0192>
// It soon floated in front of me.
<0193>
// I tried to reach out my hand.
<0194>
// The light passed through my finger made of junk.
<0195>
// Even touching it, not even the slightest thing happened.
<0196>
// While I stood there dumbfounded, the girl walked beside the light as she understood.
<0197>
// I pointed to one of the lights.
<0198>
// She asked \b`What's the matter?'\u
<0199>
// I could not give her an answer.
<0200>
// \b...Are you wondering about the light?\u
<0201>
// I nodded.
<0202>
// \b... The sky?\u
<0203>
// I shake my head to say "\bNo".\u
<0204>
// \b... The ground?\u
<0205>
// No.
<0206>
// \b... Just the light?\u
<0207>
// I nod.
<0208>
// \b... Why is that, I wonder.\u
<0209>
// The girl put her hand to her chin in thought.
<0210>
// I wanted to do the same, but my elbow joints wouldn't bend.
<0211>
// Consequently, my arm remained broken in an unnatural manner.
<0212>
// To the girl who'd always lived here, the light is similar to the water and trees I am familiar with.
<0213>
// It's a part of this world.
<0214>
// But, that's the only thing I couldn't touch.
<0215>
// So in short... I thought that it was reminiscent of a shadow.
<0216>
// But a shadow should have something that gives it shape...
<0217>
// If so, I wonder where it is.
<0218>
// I couldn't find its source anywhere.
<0219>
// She opened her mouth and said \b'In other words...'\u
<0220>
// \b... This scene, which you think is mysterious is, in my knowledge, not a mysterious scene.\u
<0221>
// That may be true. I nod.
<0222>
// I search deep into my own memories.
<0223>
// Maybe, in a distant past...
<0224>
// Or maybe a distant future...
<0225>
// I was in a different world.
<0226>
// That's all I could recall.
<0227>
// If I try to remember, my heart will always be filled with warmth.
<0228>
// \b... What kind of place was it?\u
<0229>
// I shook my head, I didn't know.
<0230>
// \b... Was it a place more beautiful than this?\u
<0231>
// Absolutely.
<0232>
// \b... Were there a lot of things, and did you have fun every day?\u
<0233>
// Probably.
<0234>
// \b... Even then...\u \p\bweren't you lonely?\u
<0235>
// .........
<0236>
// She's always spent her time here alone.
<0237>
// I know this is a sad place, nothing is here and there's nothing fun to do...
<0238>
// That's why I was born.
<0239>
// \b... I guess you're right.\u
<0240>
// \b... This is a lonely world, isn't it?\u
<0241>
// \b... Hey, you...\u
<0242>
// \b... Did you wish to be born into this world?\u
<0243>
// I didn't answer... I just held onto her arm.
<0244>
// And that... \pwas my answer.
<0245>
// Illusionary World
<0246>
// The girl created my body.
<0247>
// Junk was its ingredients.
<0248>
// There was a piece that fell and stabbed the dead grass in this giant field.
<0249>
// It's as though it might be some kind of corpse.
<0250>
// A lot of corpses.
<0251>
// Various corpses.
<0252>
// I trembled at the thought of it.
<0253>
// That's what my body was.
<0254>
// But, this body was built entirely with this junk.
<0255>
// I couldn't calm down my shaking arm.
<0256>
// If so, that means she could create a doll with a will of its own just like me.
<0257>
// We could find a large amount of junk around no matter where we looked.
<0258>
// I'm sure that she did this too. And then, with my small body, I collected them.
<0259>
// The girl looks at me and wonders.
<0260>
// I put the junk together before her eyes.
<0261>
// However, even if tightly assembled, it would come apart.
<0262>
// The girl did the same as if she finally understood my intention.
<0263>
// This time it worked.
<0264>
// She pointed at my body.
<0265>
// \b... Do you want a new body?\u
<0266>
// I crossed my arms, to motion that I was fine with my body.
<0267>
// \b... A friend?\u\p \bDo you want a friend?\u
<0268>
// That's not really my reason. I just thought that if something like me could increase, we could probably have more fun.
<0269>
// Well, the result is all the same anyway, so I nod.
<0270>
// \b... That's right. Being alone is sad, isn't it? I'm sorry.\u
<0271>
// That was... not what I meant. However, I only looked up at the girl's face.
<0272>
// \b... This might be impossible but... is it still okay for you?\u
<0273>
// I nod.
<0274>
// \b... Then, let me try.\u
<0275>
// The girl began to assemble the junk.
<0276>
// We were a bit short on parts, so we went outside and looked around walking.
<0277>
// How many times have we gone around?
<0278>
// Thinking about it, I began to understand.
<0279>
// Making my body must have been this troublesome.
<0280>
// We went late into the day looking for junk.
<0281>
// Standing on top of the hill, we looked over the horizon.
<0282>
// The view of the ground continued on forever.
<0283>
// To the far off distance.
<0284>
// I wonder what lies at the end?
<0285>
// I compare myself with the grass around me.
<0286>
// I couldn't figure it out with this small body.
<0287>
// \b... Look.\u
<0288>
// As I turned to the calling voice, the girl held a lone animal to her chest.
<0289>
// Such a thing other than us lived in this world.
<0290>
// It had white fur that bristled about and two winding horns just beside the ear.
<0291>
// I didn't like the sight of it.
<0292>
// Just like a person--though I'm not a person myself--I won't get along with it.
<0293>
// In the first place, we didn't really care about it at all.
<0294>
// Even then, the girl liked touching it.
<0295>
// While holding it, she patted its head and stomach.
<0296>
// Doing that for a while, she slowly went up the hill.
<0297>
// I followed afterward too.
<0298>
// When we passed the hill, a group of these animals had formed.
<0299>
// They were of various shapes and sizes, but all of them were the same kind of creature.
<0300>
// The girl put down the animal she had in her arms.
<0301>
// The animal didn't look back, walking off and leaving us.
<0302>
// I look at them and think.
<0303>
// These things don't have a "\bheart".\u
<0304>
// All they do is just exist.
<0305>
// Even if the animal hadn't become attached to her, she just wasn't going to turn her back on the poor thing.
<0306>
// Besides these things, she was the only living thing in this world.
<0307>
// That's why, the girl wanted to be able touch the things she liked.
<0308>
// As I watched them, the animals started to ruthlessly bite the flowers out of the ground.
<0309>
// If this sort of thing continued, this greenery would be destroyed.
<0310>
// No matter how beautiful they are, no one would find this sort of situation amusing.
<0311>
// I put the junk I was holding down onto the ground, and drove away the animals by cutting through them.
<0312>
// They showed no resistance and went elsewhere, only to begin eating the grass again.
<0313>
// It was a useless move.
<0314>
// \b... What's wrong? Are you angry?\u
<0315>
// The girl's voice came from behind.
<0316>
// No. It's just sad.
<0317>
// \b... You want to be patted on the head?\u
<0318>
// Well... sure, I'd like it, but...
<0319>
// I looked closely at the ground that had been torn up.
<0320>
// She thought nothing of the damage that had been laid waste here.
<0321>
// It was sad and lonely.
<0322>
// She crouched and brushed my head. I sort of understood.
<0323>
// \b... It's something that can't be helped. It's something that we can't do anything about.\u
<0324>
// That's what she said.
<0325>
// ... Yeah, it's something that doesn't change...
<0326>
// ... That's all I could think of that.
<0327>
// Illusionary World
<0328>
// The last part we put in the head were "\beyes".\u
<0329>
// With that, this junk doll was completed.
<0330>
// \b... We're done.\u
<0331>
// She laid down and stretched her legs out from fatigue.
<0332>
// I am filled with excitement while I face the doll.
<0333>
// A strangely shaped doll.
<0334>
// The arms were not of the same length, and it had a weird mouth.
<0335>
// A smiling face.
<0336>
// Even then, it's a new friend. A friend we can be with.
<0337>
// I thought it'd be quite funny to see if it could close its eyes.
<0338>
// I continued to wait.
<0339>
// It wouldn't be easy for this thing to move.
<0340>
// .........
<0341>
// She got up, facing it.
<0342>
// And together, we looked at the still doll.
<0343>
// In order to get it to move, we might need something else.
<0344>
// I had thought about it from the beginning.
<0345>
// That's right, practicing how to walk.
<0346>
// Since he's my friend, I thought I should teach him from the beginning.
<0347>
// I'll do that.
<0348>
// Just like the girl did, I moved a bit of distance, and clapped my hands.
<0349>
// Even though I was a newborn, I understood the gesture. It meant "come here".
<0350>
// A thick sound came as I clapped my hands.
<0351>
// .........
<0352>
// Clap clap.
<0353>
// .........
<0354>
// The doll should have stood up.
<0355>
// Clap clap.
<0356>
// I continued to clap.
<0357>
// But, there was no sign of movement.
<0358>
// As if it died, its neck hung down.
<0359>
// Clap clap.
<0360>
// .........
<0361>
// I didn't notice the girl was watching me clap my hand.
<0362>
// She rubbed her knees and came closer, and embraced me.
<0363>
// And then, she began to cry.
<0364>
// \b... I'm sorry, I'm sorry...\u
<0365>
// She kept on saying.
<0366>
// Illusionary World
<0367>
// This world really did end.
<0368>
// Life cannot be born.
<0369>
// I knew that well.
<0370>
// The animals weren't alive. They were "\bsomething"\u that used to be alive.
<0371>
// The only one with life was her.
<0372>
// Then... what exactly am I?
<0373>
// I have a consciousness. I'm not like those things.
<0374>
// I like the girl. I want to always be with her.
<0375>
// No matter where she walked, I would follow her.
<0376>
// I'll follow, even if I am hated.
<0377>
// That was my consciousness, my sentience.
<0378>
// Being here is proof of that.
<0379>
// Then, where did I come from?
<0380>
// Where did my "\bconsciousness"\u come from?
<0381>
// I tried to remember.
<0382>
// Rather, I tried to remember before I was born.
<0383>
// From the pool in the depths of my consciousness.
<0384>
// To the far past, the far future... a place where I was.
<0385>
// A place where my heart feels warm.
<0386>
// \b... Was it a place more beautiful than this?\u
<0387>
// \b... Were there a lot of things, and did you have fun every day?\u
<0388>
// \b... Even then... you weren't lonely?\u
<0389>
// That's right...
<0390>
// A place where there were a lot of things, where I had fun, and I wasn't lonely.
<0391>
// I was there.
<0392>
// If I didn't have this body... I'd probably end up back there.
<0393>
// But right now, my consciousness is tied to this body.
<0394>
// To the body that this girl made.
<0395>
// I'm alive in this apocalyptic world.
<0396>
// Why that was so, I didn't have a clue...
<0397>
// Even so, I'm glad.
<0398>
// She didn't have to be alone anymore, after all.
<0399>
// We dug something into the ground for the still doll of junk...
<0400>
// It's a burial.
<0401>
// She remained silent during that time.
<0402>
// After we finished, I held tightly onto her hands.
<0403>
// \b... Hmm?\u
<0404>
// She looked down towards me.
<0405>
// My hands were joined with hers.
<0406>
// \b... Do you want to make one again?\u
<0407>
// I nod.
<0408>
// \b... But, it won't be able to move.\u
<0409>
// \b... We can't... make friends.\u
<0410>
// She said lonesomely.
<0411>
// I shook my head.
<0412>
// \b... You want to make something else?\u
<0413>
// I nod.
<0414>
// \b... What is it?\u
<0415>
// I quietly stood up.
<0416>
// Of course, I didn't really know.
<0417>
// It's not that I was thinking that that's what I should do.
<0418>
// She could make anything by putting junk together.
<0419>
// That's not something I can do.
<0420>
// Only she could, that was special.
<0421>
// I'm sure there must be some reason, I thought.
<0422>
// I turn around.
<0423>
// I wonder if she built that cabin we're staying in too.
<0424>
// \b... Something that big is impossible for me.\u
<0425>
// That's what she said.
<0426>
// \b... But, if we took a bit of time, it might be possible.\u
<0427>
// I nod.
<0428>
// \b... Then, what should we do?\u
<0429>
// I started hopping and jumping everywhere.
<0430>
// Something lively and hops like this will be nice.
<0431>
// She'd make it, and I'd help.
<0432>
// That seems really fun.
<0433>
// Illusionary World
<0434>
// Again, we walked around, getting junk from the ground.
<0435>
// \b... We shouldn't go too far.\u
<0436>
// The girl stopped me after I went ahead a bit.
<0437>
// I looked over, motioning to ask why.
<0438>
// \b... We might not be able to go back.\u
<0439>
// I turned around again, and looked far away.
<0440>
// The never-ending ground.
<0441>
// However, I had become hypnotized, accustomed to searching for junk.
<0442>
// And realized I was alone when I crossed over the hill.
<0443>
// Confused, I went up the slope, but I didn't see her figure at all.
<0444>
// Even though I went back and forth between places, my height didn't give a good view.
<0445>
// Unable to scream, all I could do was walk.
<0446>
// I wasn't even sure what direction the house is.
<0447>
// Was I getting far away, or getting close?
<0448>
// I trip and I fell down the hill.
<0449>
// I was facing upwards as I fell.
<0450>
// The clouds were spread out before me.
<0451>
// They cast an eerie shape.
<0452>
// They were clouds I didn't know.
<0453>
// She had said it before, that these weren't clouds.
<0454>
// This was a place that was far away...
<0455>
// I succumbed to fear.
<0456>
// \b... We might not be able to go back.\u
<0457>
// I remembered her words.
<0458>
// There were a lot of things I still didn't know about this world.
<0459>
// Maybe if I think about it, the ground didn't go on forever.
<0460>
// Maybe it'll wrap around somewhere.
<0461>
// Even if I set my goal to a far off forest and arrive there, it may not be the one I was looking for.
<0462>
// The junk was scattered about, all around me.
<0463>
// If she was around, she'd gladly take my hand.
<0464>
// But right now, I'm in the scariest part of this world, and she isn't around.
<0465>
// I have to get up. There's nothing else I can do.
<0466>
// Where is this place...
<0467>
// I wonder if she is in a similar situation.
<0468>
// Something like that would be cause for concern.
<0469>
// I should head back.
<0470>
// Tumbling down, I looked up at the hill.
<0471>
// In the backlight, there was a small shadow.
<0472>
// There was something looking down at me from the top of the hill.
<0473>
// An animal.
<0474>
// So they're here too.
<0475>
// It was small, as if it had just been born.
<0476>
// I thought something odd about that.
<0477>
// The animal is looking at me?
<0478>
// These animals shouldn't have any consciousness.
<0479>
// They just exist to eat away the grass mindlessly.
<0480>
// Yet, that one is looking down at me.
<0481>
// As if it has a will of its own.
<0482>
// I slowly went up the hill.
<0483>
// The small shadow didn't run away.
<0484>
// The animal, which hardly went above the height of my legs turned abruptly and started to run as I stand next to it.
<0485>
// Was it waiting for me?
<0486>
// Little by little, I followed it as if I remembered something.
<0487>
// I followed the animal over countless hills.
<0488>
// And just ahead, the girl was holding another animal, waiting.
<0489>
// As I struggle up there, the girl gave her thanks, and put the animal down.
<0490>
// The two animals, as if married, walk up the hill again.
<0491>
// There's another one at the top of the hill.
<0492>
// The three of them run in a line, like a family.
<0493>
// Unbelievable as it was, I saw them off like that.
<0494>
// \b... Were you scared?\u
<0495>
// She put her hand on my head.
<0496>
// I nod.
<0497>
// \b... So was I.\u
<0498>
// \b... However, I'm really glad.\u
<0499>
// \b... I guess we have to thank them, don't we?\u
<0500>
// I nod.
<0501>
// So there was something like this.
<0502>
// \b... It's strange, isn't it.\u
<0503>
// It sure is.
<0504>
// \b... They had a kind scent.\u
<0505>
// She said that, \pas I saw her kind face from the side.
<0506>
// Illusionary World
<0507>
// \b... we're done.\u
<0508>
// She lay down on the ground as she said that.
<0509>
// Somehow, I didn't really get it.
<0510>
// I woke her up.
<0511>
// \b... did you figure it out?\u
<0512>
// I shook my head.
<0513>
// \b... it's a device to jump up and around.\u 
<0514>
// I tilted my head a bit.
<0515>
// \b... hurry up and get on.\u
<0516>
// I don't know where you want me to get on.
<0517>
// That thing was lurched over to begin with.
<0518>
// Standing up, she lifted my body, and then, put me on top of the plank.
<0519>
// \b... if you don't hold onto this, you'll fly off.\u
<0520>
// I took hold of the handle in front of me.
<0521>
// \b... alright.\u
<0522>
// She turned over to the other side and sat down like me.
<0523>
// Doing that, my body floated up.
<0524>
// The girl was in a place lower than me.
<0525>
// She stretched out her legs.
<0526>
// By doing that, there was a sudden change in altitude.
<0527>
// She kept on repeating that.
<0528>
// We sank lightly into the scenery.
<0529>
// The girl smiled as her hair swayed.
<0530>
// \b... isn't this fun?\u
<0531>
// I nod.
<0532>
// This was the most fun thing that she's ever made.
<0533>
// It may be a bit scary, but it really was fun.
<0534>
// \b... should I start making something again?\u
<0535>
// So she suggested.
<0536>
// \b... I'll need you to help again.\u
<0537>
// Certainly.
<0538>
// We created playable devices by collecting junk.
<0539>
// When we realized it, we had turned the front of our house into a splendid playground.
<0540>
// Lastly, she created a viewing pedestal that rises up very high.
<0541>
// She steps there and sits, we then look at the ground together.*
<0542>
// A playground for only the two of us.
<0543>
// We saw quite a lonely scenery.
<0544>
// At the same time, I remembered why the world in my memories was warm.
<0545>
// There were a lot of people there.
<0546>
// I looked up at the girl.
<0547>
// \b... hmm?\u
<0548>
// She looked down with a mysterious face.
<0549>
// I wonder if she knows everything.
<0550>
// Accepting everything this world has to offer, and as a consequence existing here.
<0551>
// That would make her not just a person.
<0552>
// Or maybe she was just an ordinary girl.
<0553>
// Whichever it was, this is still sad.
<0554>
// She probably doesn't love this world.
<0555>
// If I disappeared, she would most certainly be lonely.
<0556>
// Up until the time I was born, she was always alone.
<0557>
// I wonder how she lived up until then.
<0558>
// I wonder how it was every day.
<0559>
// In such a sad world...
<0560>
// I wonder what she is thinking...
<0561>
// \b... what's wrong?\u
<0562>
// She asked.
<0563>
// \b... do you want to cry?\u
<0564>
// I nod.
<0565>
// \b... you remembered something sad?\u
<0566>
// That's not it.
<0567>
// What's sad is everything.
<0568>
// Anything and everything here is sad.
<0569>
// There's no one else here that has a mind.
<0570>
// This is wrong.
<0571>
// No one ever knew of this since this place should have been long forgotten.
<0572>
// I looked over at this apocalyptic world.
<0573>
// This world that had ended.
<0574>
// This world that had ended, is filled with a sad colors.
<0575>
// And my existence was to end here.
<0576>
// The end to extend to eternity.
<0577>
// She probably realized that from the beginning.
<0578>
// \ \b... to be born into this world...\u
<0579>
// \ \b... is that what you have wished for?\u
<0580>
// That's what she asked me when I first got a glimpse of the scenery.
<0581>
// Just this sky will keep going on.
<0582>
// Maybe somewhere, just up ahead, there will be an end to this... is what I think.
<0583>
// Possibly, the world I used to be in might be there.
<0584>
// \b... it'd be good to cry, wouldn't it?\u
<0585>
// While her arm was around me, I looked at this sky for a long time.
<0586>
// If by chance, this sky is tied to another world somewhere...
<0587>
// I'd like to take her there.
<0588>
// But, how...?
<0589>
// I tried to picture a way in my mind.
<0590>
// But... \pnothing occurred to me.
<0591>
// Without realizing it, the texture of the wind had changed.
<0592>
// That was the first time that happened since I was born here.
<0593>
// The arm around me tightened slightly, becoming stronger.
<0594>
// She probably realized it.
<0595>
// \b... even winter...\u\p\b comes to this world.\b
<0596>
// She looked at the same place, saying that.
<0597>
// Illusionary World
<0598>
// A quiet life till evermore.
<0599>
// I thought that if I'm with her, we'd always continue living like this.
<0600>
// I thought that, even if we were the only ones in this world, this would continue on.
<0601>
// But, something is starting to happen.
<0602>
// Winter is settling in.
<0603>
// It's as if the winter was... taking away the girl's strength.
<0604>
// With the temperature going down, she began to sleep often.
<0605>
// But she was always cheerful as we played together...
<0606>
// Far away, ominous clouds creep in.
<0607>
// ... snow-laden clouds.
<0608>
// I thought I had to do something now.
<0609>
// If I don't do anything now, it will all be for naught.
<0610>
// If I start now, I might be able to make it in time.
<0611>
// Once winter arrives, everything will be covered in snow.
<0612>
// I need to make it before that.
<0613>
// Inside the house, the girl sat down and leaned against the wall, looking outside the window immensely.
<0614>
// I became worried.
<0615>
// I wonder if it's because of the coldness of the air.
<0616>
// I moved near the window and pointed outside.
<0617>
// She looked there, very far away, to the end of the sky.
<0618>
// \b... hmm?\u
<0619>
// She look at me as she noticed.
<0620>
// \b... what's over there?\u
<0621>
// I continued to point.
<0622>
// \b... you want to go there?\u
<0623>
// I nod strongly.
<0624>
// \b... but winter is coming.\u
<0625>
// I continued gazing at her face.
<0626>
// \b... and yet you still want to?\u
<0627>
// I nod strongly.
<0628>
// \b... at this rate, if the cold weather comes in, I won't be able to move...\u
<0629>
// All the more reason to.
<0630>
// \b... and you know, if we leave the house, we won't be able to come back...\u
<0631>
// .........
<0632>
// \b... And yet you still want to?\u
<0633>
// I nod strongly.
<0634>
// \b... is there something over there?\u
<0635>
// I jumped up and down.
<0636>
// \b... something fun?\u
<0637>
// I nod strongly.
<0638>
// \b... there lots of things...\u
<0639>
// \b... having fun every day...\u
<0640>
// \b... a warm place...?\u
<0641>
// I nod strongly.
<0642>
// \b... but, we won't be able to make it...\u
<0643>
// \b... the winter clouds will catch up with us...\u
<0644>
// I followed my memories.
<0645>
// Memories from the depths of my consciousness.
<0646>
// The sky.
<0647>
// Let's go to the skies.
<0648>
// I motioned my hand towards the sky.
<0649>
// \b... you want to...\u \p\bgo to the skies?\u
<0650>
// I nod strongly.
<0651>
// \b... how?\u
<0652>
// I took her hand with mine.
<0653>
// \b... make something?\u
<0654>
// I nod strongly.
<0655>
// \b... something that will...\u \p\blet us fly in the skies?\u
<0656>
// I nod strongly.
<0657>
// I'm certain I just had in my mind how something like that is shaped.
<0658>
// That's what I tried to tell her.
<0659>
// .........
<0660>
// After once again blanking out for a moment...
<0661>
// She nods a little.
<0662>
// From that day onward, we began building something that'll let us fly in the skies.
<0663>
// I'd collect junk, and she'd put it together.
<0664>
// The skies began to become cloudy.
<0665>
// I gaze up at the mountain of things that we put together.
<0666>
// I imagined giant wings being birthed out from that thing.
<0667>
// Somehow, before winter comes...
<0668>
// We have to fly with those wings.
<0669>
// The girl took a deep breath.
<0670>
// She rubbed her eyes.
<0671>
// \b... I'm a bit sleepy.\u
<0672>
// I looked up at her with worry.
<0673>
// \b... I'm sorry, let's continue.\u
<0674>
// She continued to endure.
<0675>
// She probably understood that...
<0676>
// This is something thing she has to do right now.
<0677>
// She said so herself as well.
<0678>
// If winter comes, she won't be able to move.
<0679>
// I am not very sure what she meant by that.
<0680>
// But I'm certain that it has become something which has to be done.
<0681>
// That's why she can't sleep, and has to keep on working.
<0682>
// I continued giving her more junk.
<0683>
// And then, the next time I saw her...
<0684>
// Her body laid down on the cold ground.
<0685>
// Illusionary World
<0686>
// The snow's begun to fall upon this world.
<0687>
// If we don't hurry up, we wouldn't be able to go.
<0688>
// I picked up the last piece of junk, put it in my bag, and hurried home.
<0689>
// I opened the door.
<0690>
// As always, the girl was there.
<0691>
// She noticed me, her eyes facing towards me.
<0692>
// She slowly stretched out her arms.
<0693>
// Her movements were very slow.
<0694>
// I approach her and put the junk in her hand.
<0695>
// \b... it's starting to get really cold...\u
<0696>
// I shake my head to say I don't mind about that.
<0697>
// We don't have time.
<0698>
// \b... I'm sorry I couldn't do anything...\u
<0699>
// I shake my head.
<0700>
// She'd always put her arm around me, but she was no longer able to do that.
<0701>
// I put down that arm.
<0702>
// \b... are you going now?\u
<0703>
// I nod.
<0704>
// \b... I want to be by your side.\u
<0705>
// \b... just the two of us.\u
<0706>
// Yeah. That's why I'm doing this.
<0707>
// For that reason, I'm going.
<0708>
// So that after this, we'll always be together.
<0709>
// She made a lonely expression...
<0710>
// I reluctantly looked away and went outside.
<0711>
// I walked in front of a mountain full of piled up junk.
<0712>
// And then, I deposited all the junk I collected today on top of it.
<0713>
// No longer do I know what shape the thing we were supposed to construct is.
<0714>
// No longer does it have a shape in my mind.
<0715>
// When I put the last piece of junk on, the thing shook on one side with a noise and fell apart.
<0716>
// I drooped my head.
<0717>
// I picked up all the junk and put it in a pile.
<0718>
// I repeated this over and over.
<0719>
// If only...
<0720>
// If only I could put the junk together to give it a shape with my will power...
<0721>
// This is impossible with me alone...
<0722>
// Because I am...
<0723>
// I am not a person.
<0724>
// I look at my hand.
<0725>
// A coarse, blockish finger...
<0726>
// Even I, a doll made of junk, is brought here by a wish.
<0727>
// I wonder, will we ever be able to go anywhere anymore?
<0728>
// Away from this place.
<0729>
// \ \b... I want to be by your side.\u
<0730>
// \ \b... just the two of us.\u
<0731>
// I remember the words I heard from her just a while ago.
<0732>
// It was as...
<0733>
// ... it was as painful as saying 'you don't have to do anything anymore...'.
<0734>
// It was so sad.
<0735>
// I wanted to cry.
<0736>
// I feel so helpless.
<0737>
// I gaze up at the sky.
<0738>
// This world is tormenting her.
<0739>
// This world only forces cruelty towards her.
<0740>
// Always alone here...
<0741>
// Just when I thought that she wouldn't be lonely anymore with the both of us, she suddenly languished...
<0742>
// Ahh...
<0743>
// My body bends backward as if I'm shouting in tears.
<0744>
// There was an unpleasant of scraping metal.
<0745>
// \b... are you... crying?\u
<0746>
// Her voice.
<0747>
// Creak.
<0748>
// She slowly walked, and then she embraced my body.
<0749>
// \b... what's wrong...?\u
<0750>
// Creak.
<0751>
// \b... have you remembered... something sad...?\u
<0752>
// Creak.
<0753>
// \b... that's not it, right...?\u
<0754>
// \b... this world is... what's sad, right...?\u
<0755>
// Cr...
<0756>
// \b... you want to go far away?\u
<0757>
// .........
<0758>
// \b... you want to go the place where you were pointing at?\u
<0759>
// .........
<0760>
// \b... together...\u
<0761>
// \b... let's walk away from here...\u
<0762>
// .........
<0763>
// \b... where there's a lot of things...\u
<0764>
// \b... fun things...\u
<0765>
// \b... a warm place...\u
<0766>
// \b... to there.\u
<0767>
// .........
<0768>
// \b... you...\u
<0769>
// \b... want to do that, right?\u
<0770>
// .........
<0771>
// I... \pstopped crying and faced her.
<0772>
// I want to.
<0773>
// I nod very strongly.
<0774>
// \b... then...\u \p\blet's go.\u
<0775>
// Before this ground turned into white field by the falling snow.
<0776>
// We start our long journey.
<0777>
// To the place...\wait{800} of our distant memories.\wait{3000}
<0778>
// Illusionary World
<0779>
// The girl stopped walking.
<0780>
// She squats above the snow for a long time.
<0781>
// I brush off the snow that covered her face.
<0782>
// She smiled as I do that.
<0783>
// She stretched her arms down to the ground and lifted herself up, she then brushed the snow off her.
<0784>
// We couldn't make any progress though.
<0785>
// I hide myself below her abdomen.
<0786>
// We strain to walk.
<0787>
// She starts moving again.
<0788>
// \b... thank you.\u
<0789>
// I heard her voice.
<0790>
// My body began to creak.
<0791>
// How long more do we need to struggle, I wonder.
<0792>
// How many steps more do we need until we reach our destination, I wonder.
<0793>
// Or maybe, it will take an endless number of steps to get there.
<0794>
// If so... it's useless.
<0795>
// Despondence swept over us.
<0796>
// .........
<0797>
// Suddenly, my body was lifted up.
<0798>
// There was something under me.
<0799>
// Small... \panimals.
<0800>
// They're even in a... place like this.
<0801>
// Their strength was... small and weak.
<0802>
// But, in great number, by combining their power... my body was moved forward...
<0803>
// .........
<0804>
// Soon after that, I find myself walking with all my strength by myself again.
<0805>
// The animals are... \pnowhere to be seen anymore.
<0806>
// Without looking back, we move forward.
<0807>
// Having only courage...
<0808>
// No... I shouldn't be thinking of such things.
<0809>
// One step at the time, and the next struggle to step forward, I'll believe we're progressing.
<0810>
// If not, I'll then take a step again.
<0811>
// If not, I'll then take another step.
<0812>
// One step, another step...
<0813>
// We crawled onward, continuing to make progress.
<0814>
// Illusionary World
<0815>
// A world, surface of white.
<0816>
// ........
<0817>
// Snow...
<0818>
// Yes, it is snow.
<0819>
// Continuing to fall down even now, it covers my body in white.
<0820>
// Ahhh...
<0821>
// What was I doing in such a world...?
<0822>
// Since when have I been alone in this place...?
<0823>
// ........
<0824>
// Buried in snow... was my hand.
<0825>
// That hand was holding something.
<0826>
// I pull it up.
<0827>
// A hand of pure white.
<0828>
// It was a girl's hand.
<0829>
// Ahhh... that's right...
<0830>
// I was not alone.
<0831>
// I brushed off the snow covering her face.
<0832>
// Her profile which slept quietly, surfaced.
<0833>
// I was always together with her...
<0834>
// In this world.
<0835>
// In this sad, lonely world.
<0836>
// And together...
<0837>
// We had walking thus far.
<0838>
// To get out of this world.
<0839>
// Ever since that day.
<0840>
// Always walking...
<0841>
// With her always pushing her weakened body onward...
<0842>
// Walking and walking...
<0843>
// By now, we've gotten to where we can no longer return...
<0844>
// Even though the snow is piling around her legs...
<0845>
// Even though the snow is burying my body...
<0846>
// We encourage each other on...
<0847>
// Eyes fixed straight ahead...
<0848>
// We continue walking.
<0849>
// And then we both...
<0850>
// Lost our strength.
<0851>
// She could no longer move another step.
<0852>
// The girl holds on even tighter to my worn out body.
<0853>
// The snow is beginning to cover half of her body.
<0854>
// Even with my small body, she could no longer carry me.
<0855>
// I touch her cheek with my hand.
<0856>
// I thought it would be warm, or was it just my memory...
<0857>
// It should feel the same as my hand... having become cold.
<0858>
// If only I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have taken her here...
<0859>
// I'm only hurting her more by doing this...
<0860>
// Isn't there any place we can go to anymore...?
<0861>
// Are we going to sleep here forever...?
<0862>
// In this ending world.
<0863>
// \b... hey...\u
<0864>
// A voice in the snow storm.
<0865>
// It was her voice.
<0866>
// But her eyes remained closed.
<0867>
// \b... are you... there...?\u
<0868>
// Of course.
<0869>
// I will always be by your side.
<0870>
// \b... thank you...\u
<0871>
// Eh...? 
<0872>
// \b... I can finally hear your voice.\u
<0873>
// How come?
<0874>
// \b... I won't be a person for much longer.\u
<0875>
// \b... that's why I can hear your mind.\u
<0876>
// What do you mean?
<0877>
// \b... there were a lot of things I came to understand.\u
<0878>
// \b... and a lot of things I didn't know.\u
<0879>
// Is that so... 
<0880>
// But, I can talk with you now because of this.
<0881>
// We can talk a lot.
<0882>
// \b... yes.\u
<0883>
// \b... but we're running out of time.\u
<0884>
// \b... I want you to hear me out.\u
<0885>
// \b... will you listen?\u
<0886>
// Of course...
<0887>
// \b... I, too... used to be from a far away world...\u
<0888>
// \b... in the same world you were once in.\u
<0889>
// Really?
<0890>
// \b... yes...\u
<0891>
// Then, you shouldn't be in this world...
<0892>
// Let's go back.
<0893>
// \b... I'm sorry, I...\u
<0894>
// \b... I can't leave this place...\u
<0895>
// Why?
<0896>
// \b... because I'm...\u
<0897>
// \b... I'm this world.\u
<0898>
// .........
<0899>
// \b... I won't be able to move anymore if it stays like this...\u
<0900>
// ... I'll lose my human form...
<0901>
// \b... and then, I'll become this world's consciousness...\u
<0902>
// .........
<0903>
// \b... that's why, I can't leave this place...\u
<0904>
// Who decided... something like that...
<0905>
// \b... I did...\u
<0906>
// \b... this is, my decision...\u
<0907>
// \b... from the very beginning, since I was the first to be born here...\u *
<0908>
// \b... that’s why, I chose to become this world's consciousness rather than die...\u
<0909>
// I don't get it... what are you talking about?
<0910>
// But we promised... that we'd leave this world together.
<0911>
// \b... yes... but at that time, I didn't know anything...\u
<0912>
// \b... I'm sorry...\u
<0913>
// \b... I came to understand a lot of things now...\u
<0914>
// \b... since I'm already connected to this world...\u
<0915>
// \b... that's why I can talk with you even though my body can't move...\u
<0916>
// Isn't it painful?
<0917>
// \b... yes, but it's okay now...\u
<0918>
// \b... so please, listen to me...\u
<0919>
// Okay... I'm listening...
<0920>
// \b... if I disappear from here, this world will cease to exist...\u
<0921>
// \b... if that happens, many of light will be unhappy...\u
<0922>
// Light?
<0923>
// \b... you know, you were also one of those lights...\u
<0924>
// I was?
<0925>
// \b... yes. They are the feelings of the people from the other world...\u
<0926>
// The other world?
<0927>
// \b... the farthest away, yet the closest.\u
<0928>
// \b... we've always been together, and we've always been there.\u
<0929>
// \b... in the same place.\u
<0930>
// \b... it's just that, we only look different.\u
<0931>
// \b... since this place isn't the human world...\u
<0932>
// But you're human...
<0933>
// \b... no... I began to change into something that's not human...\u
<0934>
// \b... ever since I came here.\u
<0935>
// \bThis is what...\u
<0936>
// \b... this world is.\u
<0937>
// This world?
<0938>
// Then, what is this world really?
<0939>
// \b... even I don't know that myself...\u
<0940>
// \b... but you might have an idea...\u
<0941>
// \b... since you exist in two worlds...\u
<0942>
// \b... but both the lights and I live in different worlds, so we never knew about each other's existence...\u
<0943>
// \b... but, you're the only one who noticed me ...\u
<0944>
// \b... you never went anywhere and you were always watching me...\u
<0945>
// \b... that's why, I created a body for you... to reside in ...\u *
<0946>
// \b...crossing the rift between worlds, making our encounters possible...\u
<0946>
// \b... we were able to meet as our world passed each other...\u
<0947>
// \b... as the last person with a mind... I manage to spend my time without getting lonely...\u *
<0948>
// .........
<0949>
// \b... it's all thanks to you...\u
<0950>
// \b... that alone for me is enough...\u
<0951>
// \b... enough to be happy...\u
<0952>
// .........
<0953>
// \b... that's why this time, I want you to save someone else...\u
<0954>
// .........
<0955>
// \b... okay?\u
<0956>
// \b... now, you must close your consciousness away from this world...\u
<0957>
// \b... if you do that, you'll be able leave this place...\u
<0958>
// \b... you'll wake up on that important day... in that world... where lots of things began...\u
<0959>
// \b... this place existed for the sake of that day...\u *
<0960>
// \b... that world is a place which you would reach after a long and exhausting journey...\u
<0961>
// \b... but you will not have any recollection of this place when you get there...\u
<0962>
// \b... that's why, everything may result in the same thing as well...\u
<0963>
// \b... but, if there's a person that you want to save...\u
<0964>
// \b... search for the light of the other world...\u
<0965>
// Light...?
<0966>
// \b... yes, light.\u
<0967>
// \b... the emotions of people in the other world manifest themselves as light here...\u
<0968>
// \b... from the other world, you should see my feeling as a form of light there...\u
<0969>
// \b... the world's feelings are my emotions...\u
<0970>
// \b... my heart... wishes for the happiness of all these lights\u
<0970>
// \b... the happiness I wish for all these lights... my feelings...\u
<0971>
// \b...if a precious person is unhappy...\u
<0972>
// \b... I want you to save that person...\u 
<0973>
// No...
<0974>
// I only want to save you...
<0975>
// \b... it's okay. I...\u
<0976>
// I can't just leave you behind...
<0977>
// This world is... so lonely...
<0978>
// So cold... and so freezing...
<0979>
// If I disappear, you'll be alone again...
<0980>
// In this apocalyptic word...
<0981>
// Always alone...
<0982>
// \b... because that is what I wished for...\u
<0983>
// \b... I will watch over you...\u
<0984>
// \b... from now, forevermore...\u
<0985>
// \b... and for all eternity...\u
<0986>
// No...
<0987>
// .........
<0988>
// I don't want that...
<0989>
// .........
<0990>
// In the midst of the blowing wind, I heard a sound.
<0991>
// It was something I remembered from the other world.
<0992>
// A memory of a distant season of spring.
<0993>
// It was a quiet, yet calm and pleasant song.
<0994>
// In that short time...
<0995>
// There was a song sang by a small family.
<0996>
// The girl's mouth opened a little bit.
<0997>
// And then, she sung that song.
<0998>
// \b...dango... dango...\u
<0999>
// A song she always heard over and over again in her young life.
<1000>
// I sung it too.
<1001>
// We sang together.
<1002>
// We kept on singing.
<1003>
// She smiles.
<1004>
// I smile too.
<1005>
// It'd be nice...
<1006>
// It'd be nice if we could stay like this forever.
<1007>
// The strong wind continues to blow us down.
<1008>
// My body was... in pieces.
<1009>
// In all that, I searched for her hand.
<1010>
// I wanted to always hold on together.
<1011>
// She looks at me, crying out...
