I knew that this moment would come in time
Scene fades in on Tai clutching something tightly in his fist, eyes closed tightly
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
He opens his eyes and turns his head to the side.
Following his gaze, you see Sora running to Matt
I know you're coming back
Camera goes back to Tai, showing him looking dejected, shoving his hands into his pockets as he turns away
So why am I dying inside?
Close-up on the tag and crest on his chest. They pulse with light, but with each pulse their glow dims
Are you searching for words that you can't find?
The scene from Digimon: The Movie where Tai is trying to
write an apologetic email to Sora
Trying to hide your emotions
Scene change to the old Digimon team walking together in the city. Sora is hugging Matt's arm, and Tai, just behind them, winks slyly and says something. They all three burst into laughter
Eyes don't lie
The camera zooms in on Tai's eyes, which are sad and solemn. You can see a laughing Sora and Matt reflected in them.
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye…
The gang comes to Heighton View Terraces. Matt and Sora walk off. The camera stays on Tai, who waves to the two of them. He drops his hand with a sigh
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Tai standing on his apartment's balcony, leaning with his arms folded on the railing. The wind ruffles his hair, but he takes no notice
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
He's holding a photo in his hand. The camera zooms in to show that the photo is of a younger Tai and Sora, arms thrown around each other's shoulders and grinning at the camera. Tai is giving Sora bunny-ears
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
The camera draws back to show Tai staring at the photo with a resigned look on his face. He sighs and drops his head
Hoping for someday
He straightens and decisively rips the photo in two, tossing it over the side of the balcony. He turns and heads inside his apartment
…someday…
Scene change to the two pieces of the photograph fluttering gently to earth. For a moment, the camera focuses on them lying on the concrete sidewalk before being blown off by the wind
Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
Kari, angry, poking a finger at a frantic-looking Daisuke's chest. She's mad about his calling her 'his girl'. She tells him in no uncertain terms what she considers of him
I don't want to let you leave this way
She spins on her heel to walk off. Daisuke reaches out a hand to try to stop her, but lets it fall as she storms off. He hangs his head down
I want you to know that
He digs into his pocket, retrieving a rather battered looking greeting card, which he holds in his hand
I'll stand right by your side
Close-up on the card, which says 'Friends Forever!' on the cover
And I know this may be
The camera zooms out, showing Daisuke as he closes his fist, crumpling the card
The very last time that we see each other cry
He raises his other hand to his face, furiously wiping away a few tears which have squeezed out from his closed eyes
Whatever happens, know that I'll…
He opens his eyes again, which glisten a little, but his face is determined
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
The camera follows Daisuke's profile as he walks through the city streets, pace hurried and not stopping to look at anything
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
He takes out his cellphone and tries to phone Kari. The phone is picked up; he starts to say something but is cut off with a sharp click. He stares at the phone for a moment before wordlessly putting it back in his pocket
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
He suddenly takes off in a run, shoving past annoyed pedestrians. His head is down and shadowed by his hair. Rain begins to fall
Hoping that someday you'll come back to me
Camera close-up on his face. His mouth is unsmiling. You can't see his eyes, because they're in shadows
I'll be praying, for whatever it's worth
Scene change to Tai, who is in his school uniform and walking briskly down a street. His school bag is slung over his shoulder and his face is serious. He takes no notice of the rain pattering down on him
Believing that one day you'll come back again
He stops suddenly and turns his head. The camera follows his gaze to show a small playground tucked in a lot between two buildings. Through the gray haze of the rain, you see two faint images of a chibi Tai and Sora playing together
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
The images fade away, and the camera pans back to Tai, who is still looking at the playground with no expression on his face
Hoping for someday
He stares for a moment, then turns away. As he begins to walk off, he is run into by a blindly-running Daisuke
I know
Tai grasps Daisuke's shoulder, preventing the younger boy from running off again
This may be
Daisuke swings his head up, trying to wrench away but stopping as he recognizes Tai
The very last time that we see each other cry
The camera zooms in on Daisuke's face, angry and sad all at once, wet with rain and tears. It then focuses on Tai's face, looking emotionlessly down at Daisuke, also wet with rain but with no tears
But whatever happens, know that I'll…
Camera zooms out to show the two boys standing in the rain. It pans around them, drawing nearer and nearer to their faces. As it does, half-transparent scenes of Tai and Sora, Kari and Daisuke, are overlaid on the central image. With one last pan of close-ups of their faces, the scene fades to black
I'll be living for somedayCounting on someday
Knowing that one day
…I will see you…
