EVEN THE DOCTORS AREN'T SURE WHY JOSEPH CAN'T SPEAK.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHETHER IT'S TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT...
HE NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO AN ORPHANAGE, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WORRY.
I'D LIKE TO STAY WITH HIM A LITTLE LONGER.
...IS IT THAT BOOK AGAIN?
OH RIGHT, I NEED TO SMILE MORE...
AREN'T YOU TIRED OF THE SAME STORY?
...I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND CHILDREN.
IS THIS LITTLE CHILD NOW ALL BY HIMSELF?
...DO YOU WANT ME TO READ IT TO YOU?
LAST TIME, I RAN AWAY AFTER READING JUST A FEW LINES.
IT'S SOMETHING I WOULD'VE NEVER OFFERED UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT...
LONG AGO, THERE WAS AN OLD LEGEND IN THE KINGDOM OF GRANDEL.
A TROUBLEMAKER NAMED WILLIAM, WHO LIVED IN A RURAL VILLAGE, HEARD THE LEGEND ABOUT AN EXTRAORDINARY FLOWER.
WILLIAM CROSSED MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON IN SEARCH OF THIS LEGENDARY FLOWER SAID TO BRING HAPPINESS.
AT LAST, WILLIAM THE TROUBLEMAKER FOUND THE FLOWER OF HAPPINESS AT THE PEAK OF A SNOWY MOUNTAIN IN THE NORTH.
THERE, AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE WHITE SNOWY MOUNTAIN, THE FLOWER BLOOMED IN BREATHTAKING BEAUTY.
WILLIAM GAZED AT THE FLOWER ENDLESSLY, UNABLE TO TAKE HIS EYES OFF IT.
UNABLE TO BRING HIMSELF TO PLUCK THE FLOWER, WILLIAM RETURNED HOME.
HIS FAMILY WELCOMED HIM BACK WITH TEARS OF JOY.
IN THEIR EMBRACE, WILLIAM FELT TRUE HAPPINESS.
REGRETTING HIS PAST ACTIONS, HE DEVOTED HIMSELF TO FARMING.
AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
...DID YOU LIKE THE STORY?
IT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE FUN IF ANNETTE WERE READING IT...
DO YOU MISS ANNETTE?
...ME TOO.
I MISS HER TOO.
...DID...
...ANNETTE TELL YOU THAT SHE'D WRITE TO YOU?
HAH. SO I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE?
YOU MISS HER TOO, HUH. THAT MAKES TWO OF US.
Episode 66
SEINSHIRE STATION! THIS IS SEINSHIRE!
PASSENGERS HEADING TO SEINSHIRE, PLEASE DISEMBARK HERE!
I HEARD THE RESTORATION WORK IS UNDERWAY...
BUT THE CITY STILL FEELS QUITE DESOLATE...
YOU'RE HEADING TOWARDS THE OLD TOWN OF SEINSHIRE?
THAT AREA SUFFERED QUITE A BIT. THE BUILDINGS ARE OLD, AND THE SHELTERS WEREN'T IN GREAT CONDITION.
THERE WEREN'T MANY CASUALTIES OVER THERE,
BUT YOU MAY BE SURPRISED BY THE DAMAGE.
THE TOWN HAS CHANGED. HOWEVER...
EVERYONE IS STILL GOING ON WITH THEIR LIVES.
CATHERINE'S HOUSE...!
FORTUNATELY, IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THERE WAS MUCH VISIBLE DAMAGE.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF SOMEONE ELSE COMES TO THE DOOR...?
YES, WHO IS IT...
...A-ANNETTE?!
IT REALLY IS YOU!
BRUNER!
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOU.
OH, YOUR FACE...
LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?!
YOU WERE ALL OVER THE NEWSPAPER FOR DAYS!
WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE, YOU SAY...
DO YOU REALIZE HOW UPSET I AM WITH YOU RIGHT NOW?
HOW COULD YOU JUST GO TO THE BATTLEFIELD WITHOUT SAYING A WORD?!
how could you! eplain yourself!
AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU SHOULD'VE STAYED SAFE!
BUT I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE OKAY, TRULY...
DID YOU COME HERE RIGHT AFTER YOU WERE DISCHARGED?
YES. I CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE STATION.
VERY WELL, LET'S HEAD INSIDE.
IT'S A BIT CHAOTIC, BUT...
THE HOUSE IS DEFINITELY A BIT MESSY.
I GUESS CATHERINE HAS BEEN A BIT OUT OF SORTS LATELY.
OH MY!
OLIVIA?!
MY GOODNESS...
BABA?
YOU'VE GROWN SO MUCH...
DO ALL CHILDREN GROW UP THIS FAST?
I CAN BARELY RECOGNIZE HER.
ANANA!
ANENA!
WHAT IS OLIVIA TRYING TO SAY?
I'M NOT SURE. BUT SHE CAN DEFINITELY SAY MAMA AND DADA NOW.
I THINK SHE MIGHT BE A CHILD PRODIGY!
OLIVIA, DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
I USED TO GIVE YOU BREAKFAST AND PUT YOU TO BED.
CATHERINE TRIED TO TEACH OLIVIA YOUR NAME, BUT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL.
CATHERINE MENTIONED THAT IN HER LETTER.
SPEAKING OF... IS CATHERINE NOT HOME?
WHEN IS SHE COMING BACK?
...THERE WAS AN EVACUATION ORDER.
THAT DAY, I WAS AT HOME WITH OLIVIA,
AND CATHERINE HAD GONE TO A MARKET A BIT FARTHER AWAY...
DURING THE BOMBING, WE EVACUATED TO DIFFERENT SHELTERS.
THE GAS PIPE IN THE SHELTER WHERE CATHERINE WAS STAYING EXPLODED DUE TO THE BOMBING...
CATHERINE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY, BUT...
SHE COULDN'T EVEN LAST TWO DAYS.
I'LL MAKE SURE TO TEACH OLIVIA YOUR NAME, SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR IT WHEN YOU RETURN.
WHEN THE WAR IS OVER, YOU MUST COME STRAIGHT TO OUR HOUSE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
PLEASE, BE CAREFUL UNTIL THE VERY END.
WHY...?
WHY DID CATHERINE HAVE TO END UP LIKE THIS?
IT'S BECAUSE SHE MOVED TO SEINSHIRE.
IF SHE HADN'T, SHE WOULD'VE BEEN LIVING A NORMAL LIFE IN THE CAPITAL.
WHY DID SHE MOVE TO SEINSHIRE?
IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT INCIDENT.
AND THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED...
...BECAUSE OF ME.
I CAUSED ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN...
...I'M SORRY, BRUNER...
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING SUDDENLY? WHY ARE YOU SORRY?
IT'S, IT'S BECAUSE OF ME,
THAT YOU HAD TO ALL MOVE HERE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO COME HERE AND GO THROUGH ANY OF THIS.
THAT'S NONSENSE, ANNETTE.
THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. ON THE CONTRARY...
ACTUALLY, ON THE CONTRARY, CATHERINE...
SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU, ANNETTE.
...WHAT? WHAT DO YOU...
...WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Worried about Joseph, who cannot speak, the narrator reads him the tale of William and the flower of happiness in the Grandel Kingdom and they share how much they miss Annette. Then, after being discharged, Annette takes the train to the devastated Seins hire and reunites with Bruner and the grown-up Olivia at Catherine's house. Bruner explains that Catherine died because the gas pipe exploded in the shelter during the bombardment. Annette blames herself.
