"Takimoto brought his girlfriend into the shop one night" "He showed her some powders and they caught fire" "There were no major injuries but the girl hurt her ear" "Will we see his work?" "Um, that's not quite decided yet" "Oh, but I really want to see his fireworks" "Such a waste of talent" "Hi there" "What's wrong?" "Mom, did Shoko go out with Takimoto," "the fireworks craftsman?" "You're not thinking of using his fireworks, are you?" "If you are, I'm against it" "Grandma will be too" "Hurting her ear like that..." "You know how much Shoko suffered" "It's his fault" "I don't car e what he does with fireworks" "Stay away from him" "Excuse me" "Watch out" "Don't come too close" "Um, I came again to talk about the Wabi fireworks" "I'm Shoko's niece" "She was my mother's sister" "People say I look like her" "And, um, I hear d that you went out with her and about the accident" "I watched the fireworks with my aunt many times" "She always looked forward to your fireworks" "Even in the hospital." "Before she died she waited for your Wabi" "She stared out the window" "I'll never forget how she looked, as if she was praying while she waited" "Takimoto!" "Takimoto!" "You gave up fireworks but my aunt wrote music for you until the end!" "Don't you know how she felt while she was waiting for your fireworks?" "This is the plan for the show" "Wait, what are you doing?" "I told you already" "I quit fireworks" "I'm finished with fireworks" "Finished" "What a loser" "Wow, so beautiful!" "So pretty" "Wow, amazing" "Incredible" "Aren't they, Shoko?" "The show's over" "Can you go home, Kana?" "I'll be OK" "OK, goodnight" "Bye" "Why didn't you launch them?" "Hello" "Came to deliver your order" "Thanks" "You haven't been back since then" "You having a picnic?" "Fun, isn't it?" "Yeah" "Have a seat" "Here you go" "Wow" "Shall we?" "Bon appetite" "Delicious" "Celery with miso?" "Not so common" "Really good" "My boyfriend always ate like this" "What did he do?" "Made fireworks" "So the shop accident..." "He." "Um... quit, taking responsibility for my ear injury" "I told him it was his fault I couldn't play the piano" "But," "I never did want him to quit fireworks" "I honestly wanted him to keep creating fireworks" "But that didn't r each him" "Once a year" "I watched his fireworks and wrote a song" "I wanted to compose 10 parts but there was no 10th show" "This..." "Oh, that..." "The 10th par t" "That's the only phrase that came to mind" "A song called 'Eternity'" "Shoko, would it be OK for me to play it?" "He made Wabi, Japanese-style fireworks" "Wabi?" "Yes" "They seemed to bloom forever in the sky" "So beautifully" "Wabi" "Play a bit more brightly" "And make the third chord match the melody a bit more" "The third..." "Yes" "That's it." "That's it" "Sounds good" "Keep going" "'Eternity'" "Should have let" "Shoko and Takimoto get married" "They were going to?" "They promised each other" "But as a parent..." "I couldn't forgive the man who took her talent" "I wonder, he must've realized our feelings" "He stopped coming after she entered the hospital" "It's not your fault" "But..." "If they had been together," "Shoko would've been happier when she died" "Anybody home?" "Takimoto" "Takimoto" "Takimoto" "Sorry to barge in" "It's me, Shoko" "What the hell are you saying?" "I want to see you launching fireworks" "I've had enough of you!" "You should know better!" "Running again?" "Like you did from Shoko?" "Running?" "I know about the accident and my aunt's hearing loss" "But running don't help, you know" "Shouldn't have quit if you felt responsible" "What do you know?" "Shoko..." "Shoko's dead" "That's why I'm - fireworks won't help!" "You can't pay her back?" "All you can do is live like this for 12 years after quitting?" "Who are you to say this?" "Don't be so miserable!" "If my aunt were still alive, she'd be sad to see you like this!" "Shoko would be crushed!" "Listen to me very carefully" "She's the one who told me to quit to take responsibility" "She's the one who said no to marriage" "If I could only meet Shoko one more time" "I'm sorry" "This... is something my aunt wrote before she died" "She was always inspired to write music during the show" "She was holding this in the hospital at the time" "I think my aunt is still waiting for your fireworks" "I'm leaving" "I'm waiting for your fireworks" "Can I help you?"
