"This hand," she said, "It's rough, and larger than mine." Many times she's held Taki's hand, and she knows all too well that his hands are rough, worn down from the many hours he spends drawing diagrams. He enjoys the work he does at the construction firm, Tessie always tells her of the shenanigans those two get into when they collaborate on a project, but it has taken a toll on his fingers. She wraps her arms around her shoulders. The broadness seemed familiar. She then noticed a warmth in between her thighs. It radiated like a small snake. She wanted to touch it, but out of respect of personal space (something that Taki has a little trouble comprehending) she doesn't. Still confused, she crawls her way to a nearby puddle. The reflection of her boyfriend's face and messy hair confirms her suspicions.

"Taki-kun?" she wondered "Why am I in his body?"

She steps outside of the shrine. The sky was still well-lit, but she knew that the night was inching its way closer and closer.

"Kataware-doki," The voice of her high school teacher murmured in her head, "When light and darkness become one. When something inhuman is said to happen."

From a distance she hears a voice calling out to her. She noticed a figure of a schoolgirl with short hair. Her eyes widened as she focused on her younger self waving at her.

"Mitsuha! Mitsuha!"

Mistuha knew that the schoolgirl's voice was hers. Like a reflex she calls out to the figure, but rather than calling the girl by her name something else comes out of her mouth.

"Taki-kun! Taki-kun!"

"Mitsuha! Mitsuha! Mitsuha!," The figure began to fade away and everything went to black

"Mitsuha! Mitsuha! Mitsuha!"

Awaking from her fall, Mitsuha still felt a pain on her head, but she was alright. A jacket supported her head; the scent it gave off reassured her of who was trying to wake her up. Groggily, she looks to the left. The shrine is so far from her. To the right where the lake and her old home was. All that remained were piles of debris untouched for years, a huge crater hugging it like a child keeping his toys to himself. A worried figure looked down on her.

"Where am I?"

"You hit your head pretty hard when you fell. You should really watch where you're going. I'll be damned if you get hurt under my hands."

"Taki-kun?" She gets up, dusting off her clothes still with a confused look on her face.

"You saw it too, huh?" Taki says cooly as he turns his orientation towards the lake.

"Enigma is overrated, Taki-kun. There's no reason to act cool in front of me"

"Ever since we got here, I'm been getting these strange visions. Of us, in each others bodies."

"Ehhh!" Mitsuha covers her torso with her arms ,"How can that be!?

"I'm not sure, but something became more apparent the closer we got to the shrine."

Taki turns to face his girlfriend, "Tell me, that day in Tokyo. It wasn't the first time we met, was it?"

"It wasn't."

The two stared out to the sun. It's light refracted a line that seemed to split the sky in half, but as the sun sank even lower that line started to fade. Eventually, the sky became whole again. It was finally the moment of unity: Kataware-doki. Both were entranced as colors of yellow and orange were slowly be gobbled by the surrounding darkness. Mitsuha couldn't help but stare into the lake once more, but noticed something peculiar.

"My town! It's there!"

"Look up in the sky!" Taki said, his finger pointing towards the heavens.

Comet Tiamat illuminated the sky. Streaks of ice and rock marked the night sky. The two can't seem to take their eyes off it.

In an instant both were inundated with visions of the past. Familiar ones that seemed too distant to remember. Their eyes filled with memories about each other. How they first met. Why they were connected. Their friends, their families reacting to their strange behavior. The lives they lived in each other.

Suddenly the visions stopped. The two stared at each other. They looked at each other, and noticed that they were looking at their younger selves. Taki saw his girlfriend in her old school uniform, her hair kept short with a braid tied to her head. Mitsuha stared at her boyfriend, who sported a hiking jacket. He looked shorter, but she was slightly unimpressed that his hairstyle never changed since he was in high school. In their minds they had so many questions to ask. Then Mistuha opened her mouth.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T WRITE YOUR NAME LIKE YOU SAID!? Honestly, who the hell says 'I love you' as a way to remember them by? What are you, some hopeless romantic!?"

"Hopeless romantic!? At least I was able to write something on your hand. You're such a slow writer, I swear! We could've saved a good five years trying to find each other!"

Mitsuha gasped in shock, she touches Taki's chest and removes the hair in front of her face, "So you do remember?"

"Now I do. I remember it all. The time I spent here in Itomori. My time spent in school with Tessie and Sayaka. How Yotsuha was always mad that I didn't wake up to make breakfast. There are more things, but I remember everything. What about you."

"Hmmm" Mitsuha pondered, "I remembered touching your penis, and being embarrassed about it. How you had such a crush on Miki-chan, and could never have enough hours at work."

Taki palms his face "Of all the things to remind me of, why those?"

"Because I love you, idiot" Mitsuha stick her tongue out at him.

The two stare at the sun as it sinks even deeper into the night, and once again their appearance return to their adult selves.

"Well this is an experience that we'll both treasure forever" Mitsuha exclaims as she stretches her arms out.

"Treasure…," Taki whispers, "Right." He takes out something from his pocket. He dusts off the specks of dirt that accumulated on the top of the case. His heart started beating rapidly.

"Mitsuha come over here," he stuttered. Puzzled, Mitsuha approaches her boyfriend, who is strangely being shy.

Taki gently grabs Mitsuha's hand. Her fondles with her fingers, the softness gave him ease over the situation he was about to place himself into. He looks his beloved in the eyes.

"How lucky must I be, to be with someone so beautiful," Taki thought.

Mitsuha's mouth gapes open in shock. Her eyes locked at his face as Taki reaches over to touch her hair.

"Many years ago, you gave this braid for me to treasure for three years. Many years later, you gave me your heart. So please, if you let me, I will treasure you for the rest of our days." Taki kneels down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?"

Mitsuha's expression is silent, but her face was bright-red. She quickly grabs her hand back and covers her face. The fog rolls by them as Mitsuha ponders on her decision.

"Hmmmm" She thought to herself long and hard.

"Please decide quickly," Taki says struggling to stay on his knee, "The rocks on this crater aren't the smoothest you know."

Mitsuha crosses her arms "My boobs won't be more available for you to touch even if I'm your wife! Pervert!"

No longer able to kneel comfortably, Taki stands up and dusts off his pants, "This isn't about boobs!"

"That's no way to talk to someone who helped you out on your date with Miki-chan. I bet you were so nervous. Did my links help you out?" Mitsuha smirked.

"Well you're one to talk, I'm the only boyfriend you ever had. Why are you even bringing this up!?"

Mitsuha hugs and kisses Taki on the cheek, catching him by surprise. She places her hand on his hair and tousles it playfully, "Because a marriage would be boring without a little teasing and laughter."

Taki smiles and wraps her arms around her.
