Earth:
It's been almost three days since Hitomi's
disappearance and Ukuari is sitting with Amano on the train. They are going again to Hatomi's house to
see her mother.
Yukari: "Oh Amano, I just know something is
terrible wrong. Every time I close my eyes I see Hitomi scream. And last night a dreamt she was in danger,
that she needed help."
Amano: "I know I feel the same way, I tried to
convince myself that just maybe she had gone back to Gaea, to Van. I heard her wishing to see the comet with
him just before she disappeared."
Yukari starts to protest, but Amano puts a figure
to her lips to silence her.
Amano: "You don't have to say it, I know. You have a plan to try to reach her don't
you."
Yukari: "Yes, Hitomi told me that she brought
something from Gaea back with her. It's
a feather from Van's wings. She said it
kept her near to him."
Amano: "You
want to use the feather to try to contact him?"
Yukari: "Yes, to warn him that Hitomi is in danger, and she is I just know it."
Mrs. Kanzaki serves tea to her guest.
Mrs. Kanzaki: "You tow shouldn't blame
yourselves. I believe you want to help
Hitomi, I do too, but for me it's not to happen."
Yukari: "I
miss Hitomi, but I'm also really scared for her."
Mrs. Kanzaki: "I know, here."
She places Hitomi's duffle bag on the table.
Mrs. Kanzaki: "Her clothes and some family photos
are in there and also her tarot cards. This letter is to be given to her also; you will know when the time is
right. Please."
Amano: "You talk as if Hitomi is never returning."
Mrs. Kanzaki: "I don't believe she will. I had a dream last night in it was a
beautiful woman with ling dark hair and the wings of an angle. She told me to let my heart be at peace, and
to trust that Hitomi's love would see her through."
There is a long silence in the room, the only sound
the tinkle of the wind chime in the window.
At last Mrs. Kanzaki takes a deep breath and
reaches across to take Yukari's hand in hers.
Mrs. Kanzaki: "You don't have to search, here is
the feather."
She opens Yukari's hand and in it places a delicate
white feather.
Mrs. Kanzaki: "Please be careful."
That night Yukari arrives at the shrine where
Hitomi vanished.
Yukari: "Amano, Amano!"
Amano: "It's ok I arrived a little while ago. No one's around, the last of the tourists
have left. I see you have Hitomi's bag,
and a pack for yourself. I brought on
too."
Yukari: "I'm not sure what will happen, but I
thought I'd come prepared."
Amano: " I am ready, are you."
Yukari takes out the feather and places it in her
palm. Amano places his hand on
her's. They both concentrate on Hitomi
and Van.
Yukari: "Oh, Hitomi, please! Van we need your help Hitomi's is in
trouble."
Amano fells a tingle and lifts his hand from
Yukari's to see the feather glowing,
Amano: "What the—"
Suddenly a bright white pillar of light engulfs the
two. Ukuari moves closer to Amano and
they embrace each other, as they are lifted off the ground. The light vanishes upward and they disappear
