The sea breeze blows during the day, until the land breeze comes at night. 179 00:15:33,915 --> 00:15:39,915 For just a brief period, when the two rotate out, the wind stops blowing entirely. 180 00:15:39,956 --> 00:15:42,956 And the ocean becomes the very picture of tranquility. 181 00:15:43,915 --> 00:15:45,873 That's my namesake, "Yunagi." 182 00:15:45,873 --> 00:15:47,915 Oh, I'm not lying this time. 183 00:15:48,873 --> 00:15:50,915 Seeing this peaceful sky made me remember. 184 00:15:51,873 --> 00:15:56,873 The evening calm turns the ocean as clear as a mirror. It's truly beautiful. 185 00:15:57,873 --> 00:15:59,873 I hope to see it again some day. 186 00:16:00,873 --> 00:16:02,956 With you, if possible. 187 00:16:04,915 --> 00:16:06,873 Are you crying? 188 00:16:06,956 --> 00:16:09,873 The sunset just got in my eyes for a second. 189 00:16:11,873 --> 00:16:12,956 The sky of the evening calm, eh? 190 00:16:13,915 --> 00:16:16,915 I suppose that means the dusk is your golden hour. 191 00:16:16,956 --> 00:16:18,873 Are you being serious? 192 00:16:18,915 --> 00:16:20,956 I didn't peg you as one for sappy lines like that. 193 00:16:32,956 --> 00:16:34,956 Wow, those are pretty. 194 00:16:35,873 --> 00:16:36,956 The white-powder flower. 195 00:16:37,873 --> 00:16:40,873 Also known as the "four o'clock flower" or "nighttime beauty." 196 00:16:40,915 --> 00:16:44,873 White-powder? But I can see pink and yellow ones, too. 197 00:16:44,915 --> 00:16:47,873 It's because of the white powder inside the seed husk. 198 00:16:47,956 --> 00:16:51,915 Apparently, children would use it like makeup to play pretend. 199 00:16:52,915 --> 00:16:57,915 And for some reason, these flowers evolved to only open from late afternoon to dusk. 200 00:16:58,873 --> 00:16:59,915 Aren't you just the know-it-all? 201 00:16:59,915 --> 00:17:01,873 I'm merely repeating what I've heard. 202 00:17:01,915 --> 00:17:06,915 Still, what a funny flower. Nighttime is such an odd time to bloom. 203 00:17:07,873 --> 00:17:08,873 Indeed. 204 00:17:21,956 --> 00:17:22,956 Yunagi. 205 00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:26,956 I had a great time today. 206 00:17:27,873 --> 00:17:28,956 Why're you acting all sentimental? 207 00:17:29,914 --> 00:17:31,956 I'm not.

I'm not lying to you. 210 00:17:40,956 --> 00:17:43,914 There was a time I used to dream about a life like this. 211 00:17:44,914 --> 00:17:48,956 Passing my days idly by with the woman who I fell in love with. 212 00:17:49,956 --> 00:17:52,956 I can only imagine how blissful it would have been. 213 00:17:55,956 --> 00:17:59,914 Hey. Will you call my name for me? 214 00:18:10,914 --> 00:18:11,914 Jinta. 215 00:18:12,914 --> 00:18:13,956 Is that what you wanted? 216 00:18:16,914 --> 00:18:17,956 Thank you. 217 00:18:22,873 --> 00:18:24,914 To be honest, I'm consumed with regret. 218 00:18:25,873 --> 00:18:29,956 If only I had done a better job, then maybe Shirayuki would still be alive. 219 00:18:31,873 --> 00:18:33,914 But it wasn't meant to be. 220 00:18:34,956 --> 00:18:39,914 Shirayuki, my dad, and Natsu... things could have ended differently. 221 00:18:41,873 --> 00:18:44,914 The truth is, I've been lamenting it all along. 222 00:18:45,914 --> 00:18:48,873 Is this your power at work? 223 00:18:48,873 --> 00:18:49,914 Or maybe it's... 224 00:18:51,873 --> 00:18:53,914 just my sorrow coming to the forefront. 225 00:18:54,956 --> 00:18:58,956 I knew it all along. You weren't the demon who was lying. 226 00:18:59,956 --> 00:19:01,914 I'm the real Amanojaku. 227 00:19:02,748 --> 00:19:04,789 It's impossible for you to be here in the first place. 228 00:19:05,748 --> 00:19:08,748 Yunagi. I was the one who... 229 00:19:10,706 --> 00:19:12,789 Don't be silly, you didn't kill me. 230 00:19:16,706 --> 00:19:20,706 Because the truth is that I don't exist anywhere at all. 231 00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:25,789 Our marriage, all those memories, even my presence here... 232 00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:27,748 Everything was a lie. 233 00:19:29,706 --> 00:19:32,706 So you shouldn't let it bother you. 234 00:19:35,748 --> 00:19:36,789 Anyways, it's a relief. 235 00:19:37,748 --> 00:19:40,706 I'm glad that a kindhearted soul like you showed up. 236 00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:52,789 Like I said, I hate kids.

See you again someday. 239 00:20:43,748 --> 00:20:47,706 The ability to create illusions that deceive others. 240 00:20:47,789 --> 00:20:51,789 And the illusions are all linked with the user's memories. 241 00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:54,706 "Falsehood." 242 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:58,789 Now I get it. That was Yunagi's demonic power. 243 00:21:07,789 --> 00:21:11,747 The fox and the flames were just visions Yunagi created. 244 00:21:12,747 --> 00:21:14,706 Actually, it goes further... 245 00:21:25,747 --> 00:21:27,789 There was never a "man-eating demon" in the first place. 246 00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:37,706 That was just a lie meant to make someone realize this child had been abandoned here. 247 00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:40,789 She made quite the Amanojaku. 248 00:21:41,789 --> 00:21:48,706 Yunagi. In that moment, you were truly the mother this child needed. 249 00:21:52,706 --> 00:21:54,706 A flower that blooms in the evening calm. 250 00:21:55,706 --> 00:21:57,706 That's what I'll name you after, "Nomari." 251 00:22:04,747 --> 00:22:07,747 One day, I'll tell you all about her. 252 00:22:09,706 --> 00:22:13,789 Your kind-hearted mother who pretended to be the Amanojaku. 253 00:22:21,747 --> 00:22:24,706 Oh, hey, pal! Welcome i- huh? 254 00:22:24,747 --> 00:22:25,706 Wha-?! 255 00:22:25,747 --> 00:22:28,747 Uh, Jinya-kun?
