Episode.4 Three Blue Flames
17m
With the loss of the venue, the performance is in danger of being canceled. Feeling responsible, Fumino tries to give up on her trip to the United States, saying, "I can't go alone without fulfilling the dreams of the three of us," but Shori and Mizuki, who have grown up, strongly encourage her, saying, "Fumino should go." "Anywhere is fine." Having lost everything, the "answer" they chose was to livestream their final performance to the world from the rooftop of the building where they all began. The piece they performed was "The Nighthawk Star," the story of a bird that burned its body to become a star. With the sparkling Tokyo Tower behind them, the three danced as if they were risking their lives. "My body has now become a beautiful blue light, burning quietly." The performance reached its climax with Fumino's narration, but suddenly, equipment malfunctioned and the music stopped. As the world fell silent, the only sound they could hear was their heavy breathing. In a soundless world, their breathing and heartbeats perfectly synchronized like never before, demonstrating a miraculous synchronization. The three burned out at dawn, concluding their performance. They stood at the intersection with smiles on their faces, promised to meet again, and set off towards their separate futures.
