More time pass, seasons change and still no word from Rie. Every single day Mari comes to the clock and waits and still no sign of Rie. But when she does finally show up and Mari sees that oh so beautiful reflection in the clock’s surface, her smile is blinding. She interestingly says what should be and was Rie’s line – “I’ve been waiting for you!”. But Rie says that she can’t stay here anymore. Here as in the sense of the world of the living. The smile of course disappears! As did mine too. The go on one last date to their field of Eden and this time Rie takes Mari to her special place but there was bound to be a reason for it.
