The Twilight Interlude (2013/2016) (Chapter 4)

Taki (in Mitsuha's body) and Mitsuha (in Taki's body) both reach the edge of the shrine's crater around the same time, and they both run around looking for each other, both with a strong feeling that they'll meet each other if they try. Rohan watches Mitsuha (in Taki's body) run around, shouting for Taki, and he wonders just what will happen.

Things don't seem to be working, and they eventually run past each other, still separated by their timelines, but they both feel like something tugged them back, which made them stop immediately. They walk forward slightly, as they can slightly hear each other calling their names, until they stand in front of each other, with only time separating them now.

But in a moment, their perspectives reverse, and they open their eyes, realizing that they could finally see each other in person. Rohan looked on in amazement, muttering "Their timelines are converging! They actually managed to go against fate, and meet each other in person. It's a shame that I'll never be able to send this back to my past self, as this would make a perfect climax, but, some things are nice enough to experience anyway. Reality sure is incredible." Rohan continued to draw and record what he saw, not wanting to forget this strange and unique moment.

The two stand in silence, until Taki mutters "Umm, hey Mitsuha! You look great." Mitsuha replies, just as awkwardly, saying "Yeah! You look nice too, Taki." Eventually, they both laugh at each other's apprehension, and they begin to talk about how to reverse the Itomori tragedy. After Taki explains the plan, Mitsuha says "Wait, what if we forget each other again? We should write our names down, so we can find each other once this is all over!"

Taki nods and goes first, and writes down a message on Mitsuha's palm, and Mitsuha grabs the marker to go next. But before she can write anything more than a single line, the sun sets completely, and the marker falls to the ground, leaving Taki confused and speechless. Rohan mutters, "So it had to do with the Twilight hour? Such a shame it ended when it did. It seems like the future is in your hands now, Mitsuha. Will you overcome fate, and change your destiny?"
