Still the Water Page #2

Welcome home.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'll take the bag, Kyoko.

Thanks.

We can't see it.

But your mom,

I think she sees something.

Your mom always loved

to flop here and look up

into the banyan from below.

- Flop?

- For sure.

It feels great,

to flop down here

and look straight up.

- Flop?

- That's right.

Like this?

Are you OK?

Feels good, doesn't it?

She's still a baby.

Still a baby, in a big body.

She's still a child.

The weather is terrific today.

You too?

I feel left out.

Isn't there someone I can lie on?

I'm on my own, self-service.

Lucky you, the two of you.

You look comfortable.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

- You're Atsushi's son?

- Yes.

- How old are you?

- 16.

So, you're in your first year

of high school?

Great.

Relax now, have a seat.

Give me your backpack.

This is it.

Awesome.

Yes, this is Atsu's Tattoos.

A dragon?

Do you have a drawing?

Or would you leave that to us?

Well, then,

the way we do things

is to sit down

and meet with you first.

After we've talked it through,

we can go ahead.

Will that be all right?

Good, then, how about next week,

on Wednesday...

You have our address?

Good, why don't you come at 12?

Thanks, we'll see you then.

You look like somethings bugging you.

What is it?

Dad...

why did you split with Mom?

You get right to the point, don't you?

I met Misaki...

You know, it's a strange thing,

you don't know about a person.

Until you meet them.

We ran into each other on the street.

I noticed her,

but then it happened

three times in one day.

That was amazing.

This is fate!

I convinced myself of it.

And then, in a very one-sided way,

I fell in love with her.

If it was fate,

I don't see how you could split up.

I wouldn't call that fate.

Absolutely not.

Shouldn't you be together forever,

if you were fated to fall in love?

I don't want to whitewash this,

but what is it?

When we're apart,

that's when I feel we're together.

And that's good enough?

I thought it was a fate

that would send me soaring,

but now I think of it

as a kind of fate

that means something

over a longer span.

But anyway,

Kaito,

you...

and I...

are father and son.

That'll never change.

Yeah, that's true.

It is.

Hey,

our food's getting cold.

How is it?

It's heavily seasoned.

It's pub food.

Of course it's rich.

Y'know...

what I really want to do

is to paint.

You don't have to be here for that.

Here, in Tokyo?

There's energy here in Tokyo

that you can't find elsewhere.

There's a kind of warmth

that you only find in Tokyo.

Not that I've traveled

all around the world,

but here in Tokyo...

it's not anything physical,

that's not what I mean.

But I sense a kind of abundance.
