Why not now?

Because

it's a secret.

Amazing Rinri!

Unfortunately, Christine came back.

She even wanted her apartment back,

the nerve!

-Hello, Amlie.

-Hello, Rinri.

How is your state of health?

Excellent, and yours?

Excellent. ln that case,

would you like to see me?

My parents are away.

-Alright, why not?

-l need more French lessons.

Come on!

Don't move!

Don't move.

You're beautiful, so beautiful.

You never take pictures.

You're not very Japanese.

l'm a samurai.

Samurai never take pictures.

A samurai? Didn't you want to become a Templar?

l have to go out. l'll be back.

l was joking!

Rinri?

Yamamba!

You scared me.

She scares me.

That's Yamamba, the witch.

When you die, she'll come for you.

You were gone for hours.

l bought tofu.

Who's watching us?

No one. lt doesn't work.

l want to go to the mountains.

Perfect, good idea. Me too.

No...

l want to go alone. l need to.

Where will you go?

l don't know.

To You'll see in the mountains.

Don't forget to call me when you get back.

l felt confused about Rinri

and his weird family.

l'd even forgotten why l'd come to Japan.

l was in a rut.

At such times, l need to walk.

Alone.

Besides, l was dying to see

the Japanese mountains in the snow.

90 minutes from Tokyo was a path

that promised grand, inspiring views.

Back then,

l loved mountains almost

as much as l loved Japan.

l mean, Japanese mountains represented

a sort of pinnacle for me.

Come to think of it,

they still do.

ls anybody here?

That night, l died.

l died of the cold.

l'm convinced it was the splendor of Mt Fuji

that brought me back to life.

Just in time.

Yamamba was left empty-handed.

She didn't catch me.

Guided by Mt Fuji, l found a village.

l was exhausted,

but at the same time ecstatic.

Something had changed in me.

l'd been lost in Japan.

Mt Fuji had found me again.

lt taught me a lesson.

Taught me that you can escape death.

That is, a rigid image you have of yourself.

l was 20 years old.

l had yet to find what l was searching for.

And that's why l loved life.

That day l learned that to love,

l had to be free.

That day l learned that birth

means both pain and joy.

That day l learned that

l had to become all the people l was,

all the people l hadn't yet met.

l learned that day l was as large as life.

lf you die, go.

lf you suffer, move.

Movement is the only rule.

The only dishonor

is not being free.

Know what happened to me?

l got lost.

For lunch, tempura?

Yeah, sure.

After, we'll go to my house.

Why?

My parents want to see you.

Why?

l don't know.

Do you agree?

Yes.

That one is...

magnificent.

Beautiful, beautiful.

lt's for you, present.

No, it's not necessary. lt's too much.
