Mikako: Say, you know Noboru, I have a lot of things I reminisce about. After all I have nothing here, for example, you know...
Noboru: ...for example, things like summer clouds and the cold rain... things like the smell of a fall breeze...
Mikako: ...like the sound of rain drops hitting an umbrella... like the softness of spring soil... like the feeling of peace at the convenience store in the middle of the night...
Noboru: ... and then, you know, like the cool wind after school...
Mikako: ... like the smell of chalkboard erasers...
Noboru: ... like the sound of a truck passing by in the middle of the night...
Mikako: ... like the smell of asphalt in the rain. Noboru, things like that, I have all this time...
Noboru: ...I have all this time thought that I would like to experience these with you, Mikako.
Mikako: Say, Noboro...we are far, far, very, very, far apart...
Noboru: ... but it might be that thoughts can overcome time and distance.
Mikako: Noboru, have you ever thought about something like that?
Noboru: If... if for even one instant something like that could happen, what would I think? What would Mikako think?
Mikako: ...say, there is probably one thing we would think. Say Noboru...
[ Both ]: ... I am here.
