Maybe because

I had quit writing scripts then,

I'm able to feel this way.

When I decided to quit,

I couldn't imagine

I would ever feel this way.

But as time passed,

things I thought I knew in those days

gradually became visible to me.

So, that's what happened.

But then,

recently, I'd think back on the days

I was writing scripts.

Why don't you write again?

I don't think you're the same person

as you were in those days.

Do you think so?

Yes.

I also get the same kind of feelings

sometimes as you did back then.

You too, Touko san?

Of course.

When you continue to do one thing,

to have such feelings

isn't something special.

If you try writing again,

I'm sure it'll work out, maybe.

So it's maybe?

Isn't it good enough?

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Perhaps it's better to take things easy

sometimes.

because it took much time to get here.

You think so?

The place you returned to

may turn out to be a new place.

Is it going to be that simple?

How will you know if you don't try?

You're right.

A little while ago,

something was left here.

Just left here?

Sitting alone on a chair over there.

Sitting?

An old woman was...

an old woman was left behind.

Who left her here?

She told me that she was sitting with

'someone' during the movie, but

when the house lights went on,

that 'someone' sitting next to her

was gone.

Here's your coffee.

Thank you.

While listening to her,

I thought that 'someone'

sitting next to her

might have been a stranger

from the very start.

A person she didn't know at all.

Just a person

that happened to sit next to her.

You may be right.

But for her, it was 'someone.'

It was 'someone' who sat next to her.

It was not a stranger, but

'someone' she knew briefly.

What happened to that old woman?

I was a bit worried about her, so

I asked the young man working here

to escort her home.

A person sitting next to you

can be thought in that way.

Welcome back. Was everything okay?

Yes. I walked her home.

Thank you.

Was anybody here?

An old acquaintance of mine was here

to see the movie.

Here's something.

How nice!

The old woman gave it to me

as I was leaving.

There's so much.

They look delicious.

Shall we eat?

Yes.

Thank you.

They're so good.

I just saw a person I told you about,

on the street back there.

Who's that?

A person who looked familiar.

Did you remember who she was?

I'm still not sure who it is.

Maybe it was 'someone'

you also didn't know after all.

I'm Mochizuki.

Here it is.

Take a seat.

Five days a week,

including weekends and holidays,

9 5 would be your working hours.

Any problem with that?

That'll be fine.

From your home,

it takes an hour and half.
