EPISODE 22: A FAMILY FACE / THE REVELATION OF A HORRIBLE STORY
(When they have reached sakakibara's house they go in. Itachi carries sora on his back)
INNER SPACE, INSIDE THE HOUSE OF SAKAKIBARA-NIGHT
SAKAKIBARA
AOI, I'M HOME!
(From the corner projects a beautiful girl's head twelve years old (12) with black hair and at the end of them are colored pink. It also has a brown, green eye color. Aiko kneels down and says Happy)
AIKO
You're so sweet, you're so beautiful.
(Aoi disappears, again hiding behind the wall a little shy and frightened. Aiko scares and worries)
AIKO
Come back, don't go. Did I do something I shouldn't have done? Sorry, sorry.…
(Sakakibara laughs then says)
SAKAKIBARA
You're so sweet when you're stressed, daughter. No, no, you didn't do anything.don't get nervous. she's just a little shy. He doesn't want to talk to strangers, he's too embarrassed.
(After Itachi lets sora into the room to rest they all sit around a small table. Sakakibara then appears with a small tray in her hands that has four glasses of hot tea on it. First serves to yūto)
YŪTO
Thank you very much.
ITACHI
Thank.
(Aiko only smiles and takes the cup of tea from sakakibara's hands. Then sakakibara sits at the table with the children, the Children All Drink a sip of the tea together. Aiko says to "break" the silence a little)
AIKO
What a delicious tea that is! It's much tastier than any I've ever tasted.
(Saibara smiles)
SAKAKIBARA
Really! Thank you so much, honey, I'm proud of myself that you like it.
(Yūto putting down the glass with the hot tea says in a serious tone)
YŪTO
Forgive us for the inconvenience we have unwittingly caused you.
(Sakakibara replies to yūto with a smile on her lips)
SAKAKIBARA
Nothing, nothing. On the contrary, my dear, my pleasure. I like to host people like you, and I mean demon hunters in this case.
(Yūto looks at her curiously saying)
YŪTO
What do you mean?
sakakibara then replies with a serious look
SAKAKIBARA
In our village have not seen our eyes for many years demon hunters. All men hate them, because when we needed their help they fled and left us to the mercy of the Demons. So we were forced to fight in their place, forced to free ourselves. We relied on our strength and came out victorious in the end, it seems.
(Aiko stops drinking the delicious tea and listens to sakibara's words with devotion and with horror in her eyes)
SAKAKIBARA
We lost a lot of people in battle, but still the Demons are out in the city every night trying to find prey to hunt and gut them. All this until you, four brave demon hunters, arrived. It reminds me of when I was in the same position as you. But…
(While sakakibara stops talking, itachi says anxiously for the sequel)
ITACHI
Say! Tell us, tell us your story.
(Sakakibara smiles and closes her eyes at the same time. Then she opens her eyes and looks at the children with a smile on her lips)
SAKAKIBARA
When I was young I had crazy dreams, just like you have. Me and my sister were in the same temple they were training us to reach the ideal level of a very good demon hunter warrior. But my sister fell in love with a young boy from there. The years passed and my sister married, then devoted herself to protecting and raising her child. Her husband was a blacksmith and at the same time a demon hunter, until he found a horrible death. May his soul be at rest, I hope. As for the child, before he grew up I visited him once that I remember. I saw it with my own eyes, it was a beautiful boy with green hair. When he reached out his little hand to catch me I held out my finger, and he clenched it firmly. At that moment I saw fires and a black veil spread. He drew himself up abruptly. That day I was as scared as ever. A few days ago I learned that my sister died of demons and along with my beloved sister died and all the people from the village. But, but before she left me I learned from her how her child grew up and turned into a brave, talented demon hunter while at his side he had a girl. I was pleased and moved. I was really happy because I think he was going to be the best demon hunter and I believed in this kid that he can save the future.
(Yūto looking intently at sakakibara says in Wonder)
YŪTO
That's a very impressive story, but how do you know sora? What are you to him?
(Sakakibara smiles saying to yūto)
SAKAKIBARA
Still can't you understand, little hunter? Don't listen to words and sentences just to hear them. Put the stories together and find the similarities. Sora is the child who held out his hand to me. Sora is the son of that brave demon hunter. Sora is, he's my sister's son. Sora is my nephew.
(Itachi who drinks a sip of his tea spits it out because he is startled by what sakakibara says. While yūto and aiko look at sakakibara with surprise on their face)
ITACHI
Really?! Incredible. What's going on just now?! My mind is blown by these strange facts I hear! It can't be possible!
(Sakakibara lowers her head a little saying with a smile on her lips)
SAKAKIBARA
Yes, it is.
(Yūto with Wonder in his gaze asks)
YŪTO
And how did you get here? Why did he leave sora and your sister?
(Sakakibara's style becomes serious)
SAKAKIBARA
I didn't leave sora, I didn't want to leave my village. I still have remorse for leaving my family behind and all the experiences I experienced back then, in that magical place. I had no choice. I preferred to save all those people who need to believe in something to get strength to continue the hard battle of liberation. Just like you, you left everything behind and you risk everything, Am I wrong? I don't think so.
(Yūto says with lowered head from shame)
YŪTO
Yeah, it's probably what you call sakakibara-sensei.
(Sakakibara says with a smile on her lips)
SAKAKIBARA
In life you have to take risks, you have to sacrifice yourself for the many, that's the bravery of a demon hunter. This is the only virtue that distinguishes him from the normal man. Not afraid to die to save someone, I believed I could change the world but in vain. In vain were all my efforts.
(Aiko rises abruptly from her seat, claps her hand on the table and tired cries)
AIKO
No! No, it's not like that!
(Yūto looks at her)
YŪTO
Aiko?
AIKO
We will change this world! Together as a team, we will make it!
(Sakakibara looks at aiko surprised, then smiles telling her)
SAKAKIBARA
Watch. But how can you be so sure of your team, let alone yourself? Aren't you afraid? Don't you want to live a beautiful normal life? Start a family and live carefree without chasing demons, don't you?
AIKO
We are children with dreams and with hopes, and we will not let anyone destroy them. I don't want people to be scared! I want them to be free like the birds that fly in the blue sky, and so are we! That's why, that's why... that's why I'm going to try hard for everyone! I will sacrifice myself and believe in our dreams that someday they will come true! All demon hunters are afraid, but death will be sweet in that moment because you will tell yourself that "I tried", "we all tried"! That'S what counts, try! And a normal life I can live while I chase the Demons. We're all one team together. No, no, we're not just a demon hunters team, we're more than that! WE'RE FAMILY! And as yuto has said We will live together in the bad times and the pleasant! Either we get out of this hell together or we die together!
(A tear rolls down aiko's cheek. Sakakibara smiles saying her)
SAKAKIBARA
You're very brave, my daughter, and so are your team. To have such faith you must have had a good teacher. He taught you the basics of hoarding demons. I'm glad of that.
(Itachi says with Wonder)
ITACHI
What do you mean by that?
(Sakakibara looks at itachi telling him)
SAKAKIBARA
Demons aren't the best warriors. Where they rely for their victory are the emotions of demon hunter. For this much they die from the beginning-beginning, for they were not taught to have faith in themselves and to try even if they fell down.
(Itachi bends his head without saying anything. Yūto asks sakakibara)
YŪTO
I want to know something more from you sakakibara-sensei.
(Sakakibara looks at yūto)
YŪTO
How did you know itachi wasn't a demon?
(Sakakibara smiles saying)
SAKAKIBARA
I see you don't know the history of demon hunters. Let me tell you from my perspective. It all started a long time ago, Demons were already chasing and eating people. So there was a meeting of the ten teachers.
YŪTO
Ten teachers?
SAKAKIBARA
They were some wise people who devoted all their lives to mastering the technique they possessed. The techniques that exist to this day are five. First is the fire, that which thou art possessed of, yūto my child. The heal or the musical technique. The blind and the empty hand technique. The teachers agreed to teach as many people as they could to become demon hunters and to stand by them for peace and serenity to prevail in the world. After spreading themselves in all places and teaching in the end they fought against the Demons. Unfortunately all the teachers and demon hunters who stood by them died. But, even today the techniques were not eliminated thanks to the wise act of the students. In my village, most people possessed the power of blind. Blind is a technique of autosuggestion and anger. He who possesses it seems blind because he has no pupils of his eyes, but believe me he sees better than any of us.
(Yūto remembers the acquaintance with sora, the growls and movement that he could detect the female demon in the forest. Yūto directly raises his head saying)
YŪTO
Like sora! Sora has no pupils of his eyes and yet he can face us. He can perceive everything around him.
(Sakakibara looks at yūto telling him with a smile)
SAKAKIBARA
Mmm, that's right, yūto. Sora understands what is happening around him only by pressing his foot to the ground. This movement is called earth sensation and then there are others like the black eye that owns itachi.
(Yūto and aiko look at itachi in Wonder. Itachi says then)
ITACHI
Black eye is a movement that blackens your eyes, but you have a more sensitive hearing than before. In this way you can move faster on the battlefield only with the sound created.
(Sakakibara drinks some of her tea and continues)
SAKAKIBARA
That's right. Then there's music technic. In this kind of technique we use various musical instruments to heal the hunter or even to help him concentrate at the time of the great battle. Then we have the empty hand technic. It's a rather difficult technique because you don't use any kind of weapon of war for self-defense against demons, except your hands. However, even if you use a weapon of war there are countless holding positions of its grip.
AIKO
Yeah, I've heard. Even today very great masters can not discover all the places of holding the handle of their weapons. They are infinite say as I have heard.
SAKAKIBARA
With each different mode of holding the weapon you possess the whole morphology of the blade is changed by it.
(Itachi smiles saying Excited)
ITACHI
Fantastic! Awesome, I want to learn that move! Imagine me doing the black eye move and at the same time moving sword holdings in different places.
(Itachi looks at sakakibara telling her)
ITACHI
Tell me I can use the drives at the same time! Tell me how it's possible?
SAKAKIBARA
Of course you can. A demon hunter can learn all kinds of moves and techniques to use them. This is why all movements are joined to each other and have a lot in common with each other if you have noticed.
(Yūto looks at sakakibara in Wonder)
YŪTO
In other words?
SAKAKIBARA
For example, you yūto who possess the technique of fire. If you learn the technique of empty hand it will be easier for you to combo and kill a demon easier.
YŪTO
Mmm I see, indeed all the movements resemble each other, but…
(Sakakibara looks at yūto with wonder at her tone)
YŪTO
You're unlikely to learn four kinds of techniques, it's unlikely even impossible.
(Sakakibara then says to yūto)
SAKAKIBARA
Nothing is impossible or impossible, as long as you really want it. And finally comes the technique of fire, an art that almost no man can master. It is possessed only by demi people like you yūto because it is in your blood, it is in the strong emotions you carry and you can become tougher and stronger than a normal person. That is why there is a lot of hatred towards you, because you can protect yourself and we can't. We depend on others for our salvation. However, it is not entirely unlikely that a person will learn to use the technique of fire, as long as he devotes himself for many years to his education and learns above all to be "human".
(At the same time sora begins to open his eyes. When he opens them completely he looks next to him and sees aoi playing a very relaxing melody with her shakuhachi (尺八,しゃくはち). Aoi when sora sees that he has woken up stops playing, looks at him and smiles at him. Sora falls back to sleep but suddenly opens his eyes abruptly realizing what has happened, he screams and gets up from the washitsu (和室) who is asleep, throws aside the futon (布団) quilts and chases AOI screaming angry)
INTERIOR SPACE, IN THE BEDROOM OF AOI-NIGHT
SORA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(Then AOI appears running to the table they are all sitting at and hiding behind sakakibara. Then sora appears running and shouting)
SORA
COME BACK, YOU LITTLE USELESS GIRL!
(When she appears at the table and faces sakakibara she starts shouting. While he points her with his finger sakakibara shouts)
SORA
You! YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? WHERE AM I, WHAT PLACE IS THIS?! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!
(Yūto gets up and holding sora says)
YŪTO
SORA, BE QUIET SHE'S WITH US!
(But sora cries and tries to get closer to sakakibara)
SORA
IT'S NOT WITH US, IT'S ONLY IF I SAY SO! Aah! YOU'LL PAY ME, WHORE! OLD WOMAN, USELESS MUD! Ahhh!
(At one glance sora also sees itachi sitting at the table. For this reason there is silence, until he starts again if sora cries angry)
SORA
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE! I'LL KILL HIM TOO! I'LL KILL THAT DEMON! Ahhh!
(Sakakibara then says in a hushed voice to aoi while the boys fight)
SAKAKIBARA
Why don't you try putting him to sleep a little more, I think he needs a little more rest, don't you agree?
(Aoi shyly says)
GIRL (12) YEARS OLD, NAME: AOI KODAMA
I, I don't know. I can't, I'm not sure.
AIKO
Come on, Come on, I want to hear you play, you'll make it, I'm sure of it, hehe.
(Aoi takes a long breath and looks at aiko believing in herself)
AOI
Mmm, I'll try.
(And he starts playing a beautiful melody and slowly sora closes his eyes and falls to the floor of the House. When the sweet melody stops aiko applauds aoi saying)
AIKO
What a beautiful melody, what a sweet, amazing one! Bravo, bravo aoi!
(Aoi looks at aiko and shyly says)
AIO
Really? Was the tune I played beautiful? I, I've never been able to put someone to sleep before, you know, it's my first time doing it.
(Aiko continuing to have a sweet look on her face says)
AIKO
No, no, you were great. Amazing, I'd say.
(So aoi secretly smiles and says in a hushed voice)
AOI
Th-th-th-thank you very much.
(Sakakibara then tells aoi with a smile on her face and proud)
SAKAKIBARA
Well done aoi you make me proud.
(Then sakakibara says again to yūto standing over sora)
SAKAKIBARA
Take sora back into the room to rest a little more.
(But yūto before lifting sora says to sakakibara in Wonder)
YŪTO
Does sora know about this?
(Everyone is looking at sakakibara still. Then aoi tells her mother)
AOI
Mother, does sora know that we are cousins to each other?
(For a few minutes silence prevails. Sakakibara bends her head down and says in a hushed voice)
SAKAKIBARA
No, he doesn't, yet at least.
ITACHI
Great, then we should wake him up. If he finds out about this, he'll be very happy and-
(But directly sakakibara yells interrupting itachi)
SAKAKIBARA
NO, DON'T!
(Everyone is scared)
SAKAKIBARA
Better not let him know, things are gonna get worse than they are right now.
(Everyone looks with a wonder in their gaze sakakibara, then aiko says)
AIKO
How?! Why?! You are his aunt, he will be glad to know that you are alive, and he will want to know all those facts that you lived so long away from the village. You're his family, why don't you want to reveal it to him and you want to hide it from him?!
AOI
Mom, why don't you want sora to know about us?
(Aoi starts and cries, for a while silence, then cries)
AOI
Why are you keeping all our family away?! Why don't you want me to meet my cousin? Why, why, just tell me why?!
(Sakakibara raises her head and going to catch aoi's head says in a calm voice)
SAKAKIBARA
Aoi, I don't want to-
(Aoi is pulled over sharply crying and crying)
AOI
Don't touch me! That's what you did with my grandfather! I didn't get to know him, and when I did, he was gone! He died because of you! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE MY MOTHER, STAY AWAY FROM ME!
(And runs towards her room while sakakibara tells her)
SAKAKIBARA
WAIT, AOI!
(Sakakibara again bends her head saying to the children)
SAKAKIBARA
No, no, please don't tell him that horrible truth. Do not tell him that I am a relative of his, for he will be the first to fall apart from this horrible event, from this nightmare.
(Yūto sits down at the little table. Then sakakibara says in a hushed voice)
SAKAKIBARA
I know you can't understand why I'm keeping him away from me, but... but do as I say. Sora I love as my own child, I was glad to be in such a group of strong demon hunters you and you. Each one of you has a special strength in you and that makes you the best team I've ever known until now.
YŪTO
Tell us, tell us what happened and you don't want us to tell him the truth? We demand it! At least explain.
(Sakakibara wipes a tear from her cheek and says)
SAKAKIBARA
Not long ago a demon hunter came to this city. He was different, he wasn't wearing the same shirt as you, but a shirt with a guard on the back. These fighters do not hunt demons in the forests, nor do they travel like you to distant destinations with the end of the unknown. Instead, they hide in the city without being recognized and at night protect the city. Aoi met her grandfather without knowing it herself, helped her in many things, taught her and every time I saw them together a melody played in my mind. The music I was listening to was called future music, a movement that shows us music Technic benders what will happen in the near future. So one day he came heavily wounded, he was sure to die, and before he left us he told all the truth to aoi. Aoi did not endure and lost her happy self, became a girl without hopes, without dreams filled with fear and misery. That's why I don't want sora not to know he's part of our family. I don't want him to end up like aoi, I don't want him to lose himself and his faith that he can change this world. For this ... for this.
(Sakakibara begs the children by resting her head on washitsu (和室))
SAKAKIBARA
So don't tell him anything, please! I'm falling at your feet, please!
(Yūto along with aiko and itachi look at each other and shake their heads at the same time)
AIKO
We understand perfectly. Okay, we won't tell him anything.
(Sakakibara raises her head from the washitsu (和室) and looks at the children)
SAKAKIBARA
Thank you, thank you so much for understanding me.
(But yūto says in a serious tone at the end)
YŪTO
But at some point, we're gonna have to let him know. We can't keep it from him for a lifetime. At some point the time will come when he will ask and want to know, even if he does not, we have a duty to inform him about what happened to his own family. You don't think I'm saying anything crazy, do you?
SAKAKIBARA
You are absolutely right in this…
(While he's saying all this, aoi is simultaneously eavesdropping from the corner of the wall, then thinking)
AOI
I'll let him know. I want to reveal to him the truth that he is my cousin. But not now, some other time in the near future, it's a promise and nothing will stop me.
(As she walks towards her room a beautiful melody sounds, aoi smiles and advances towards her room. At the same time sora opens his eyes and finds himself in a place filled with black, the ground is black and so is the sky. He gets up and wonders)
INSIDE SORA'S MIND TO - NIGHT
SORA
Where am I, what is this place?
(And he looks around with great attention)
SORA
I've never seen anything like it. Rather it is a vision or…
(And he slowly pulls out his two little axes from behind the sheath lying on his back. As he takes the two small axes out of the sheath, the similar sound of the axes ' blades coming out of the sheath is heard. Then he concludes by saying:)
SORA
It's the work of demons, I'm sure of it!
(Sora starts and yells)
SORA
SHOW YOURSELVES, YOU COWARDLY DEMONS! I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU, COME FIGHT, COME FIGHT! SHOW YOURSELF IN FRONT OF ME IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS!
(Then a woman appears wearing a gorgeous kimono and with green hair a few meters away from sora. Sora stands still and stunned while he thinks and sweat rolls off his face)
SORA
This can't be, this can't be my mother! He's a demon, a…
(Cry out)
SORA
YOU DEMON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MOTHER?!
(Again thinks anxious)
SORA
She might have taken the form of my mother like that old woman in town.
(Laughing fiendishly sora says)
SORA
HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA! NICE TRY, DEMON, BUT YOU COULDN'T FOOL ME! THEREFORE, PREPARE TO DIE NOW!
(And he stretches out one of the two axes toward the woman. The woman smiles sweetly closing her eyes without saying anything)
SORA
DON'T SMILE AT ME, I'LL KILL YOU!
(Sora screams angry and with hatred in his tone)
SORA
BEAST SOUND!
(And he forcefully presses his foot to the ground, so he hurls towards the woman while at the same time growling like a wild animal to be able to see, meanwhile he has his right hand holding one of the two small axes on the left side and his left hand has it on the right side. When he gets too close to the woman he makes a movement bringing his right hand that has it on the left side to the right and his left hand that has it on the right side brings it to the left to cut off the woman's head. But he stops, stops the blades from his two axes a few inches away from the woman's neck. The woman has not reacted remains in the same position that she was previously. For a few minutes silence prevailed. Then sora shouts staying in the same position, without moving, with his axes on the woman's neck)
SORA
Why don't you react! I'll kill you! Fight me to save your pathetic ass! FIGHT ME TO SAVE YOURSELF!
(The woman also stays in her seat with a smile on her lips and closed her eyes without speaking. Then sora crying tells the woman and brings closer the Blades of his axes to her neck)
SORA
FIGHT ME, I'LL KILL YOU! AHHH, DO SOMETHING! ACT, ACT, ACT, ACT! WHY DON'T YOU REACT, WHY DON'T YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?! FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM, FIGHT TO SAVE YOUR OWN SKIN! FIGHT ME! Ahhh!
(The woman then opens her eyes and in a sweet voice says)
MOTHER OF SORA
How can I fight my own son? Sora, it's me, I'm your mother, Have you forgotten me already, my sweet warrior?
(Sora does not believe what he hears and again shouts holding tight the handles of the axes)
SORA
I don't believe you! Why would I believe you're my mother?! Is it because you have the same hair color as her or the same eyes and the same face?! Tell me something only my mother would know. MAKE ME BELIEVE YOU THEN!
(The woman looks at sora and a tear rolls and falls from her cheek to the Black ground saying)
MOTHER OF SORA
I'm glad you managed to become a strong demon hunter. I always believed in you that you could reach the top. You've done us proud, sora. Me, your father, all the people in the village. Still, with those axes your father left to accompany you, it seems that you will be too late to die. Unlike me, my sweet sora. My sweet, precious warrior.
(The axes sora holds fall from his hands and he embraces his mother saying with tears on his face)
SORA
I haven't seen you in years, Mother. I missed you ... I missed you ... I missed you very-very-very very much. I haven't seen you in years that seemed ages.
(As he says all this from the eyes of mother and sora roll tears, they both kneel down on the Black ground)
MOTHER OF SORA
Mmm and me little sora ... and me ... and Me Too. My little demon hunter, my little sora. But I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I can't sit here forever in the dream with you to be proud of you.
(Sora looks at his mother saying with Wonder in his gaze while tears continue to flow from his cheeks)
SORA
What do you mean by that?
(The mother lets him out of her arms and says with a smile)
MOTHER OF SORA
Unfortunately, I didn't make it, sora. I have not been able to survive and change this world)
(With her hand grasps sora's cheek and continuing to drop tears from her eyes she continues to speak)
MOTHER OF SORA
But, but you, you can. I believe in you sora, I believe that you can change this miserable world together with the real family that will accompany you.
(Sora looks at his mother saying)
SORA
This is just a dream, isn't it a demon trap?
(Mother smiles and stroking sora's hair replies)
MOTHER OF SORA
No, Of course not, it's not a demon trap. Just a dream that soon ends, along with me.
(Sora starts and yells)
SORA
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT ENDS?
(The mother looks at sora without answering. Then sora grabs her hands and calls me)
SORA
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MOTHER?! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY WITH ALL THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY TO ME?! Don't tell me... you can'T be dead! YOU'RE A GREAT WARRIOR, YOU'RE A GREAT WARRIOR, MOTHER! YOU WOULD NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! NEVER BECAUSE YOU'RE INVINCIBLE!
(Sora starts crying more)
MOTHER OF SORA
Yes, I used to be all that you say, but that's not enough. That's what war brings, sora. I sacrificed for others, for the many.
(Sora bends his head crying and crying)
SORA
NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE, YOU LIE TO ME! Lies~!
(His mother grasps his hands)
MOTHER OF SORA
Sora. Sora looked into the eyes!
(Sora looks at her in tears)
MOTHER OF SORA
No matter what you leave behind, no matter where I died, just go forward with your head held high and always think about your goal. That's what matters, never forget who you loved and who helped you. Always remember sora, all of us…
(And then he appears: his teacher, some other people who were from older generations and did not know them, young children boys, girls and old men, women, still appears his uncle and grandfather who sees them for the first time)
MOTHER OF SORA
We're in your fist and we'll always follow you even if we don't show up. We will be converted to your power. No, no. You are our strength and we are the wick. The flame in you is extinguished, but not for much longer. For what will we revive in your every step, in your every battle, in your every breath, in your every movement, in your every thought pleasant or unpleasant! Release, release and you will be unlocked!
(As she says it all starts and slowly disappears in the form of cherry blossoms the mother and the other kindred spirits behind her. Until they all disappear. Sora lying on the ground stands up and with tears in his eyes reaches out his left hand to catch his mother at the same time he cries)
SORA
MOTHER, MOTHER, WAIT! WAIT FOR ME! WAIT FOR ME, COME BACK! COME BACK TO ME! COME BACK AND DON'T LEAVE ME, DAMN IT! Damn~! Ahhh!
(The mother disappears with a beautiful smile and with her eyes closed saying in a hushed voice)
MOTHER OF SORA
I'm sure you'll make it, my little sora. Do your best. Do your best.
(After the mother has disappeared in the form of cherry blossoms. Sora falls down on the Black ground with her knees and starts crying saying)
SORA
I'll never forget you, mother. Never, never. I'll make it, I'll try harder than I do now. And one day ... and one day ... one day i will ... i will ... I will achieve my goal. I promise, I promise, mother, father, all of you. I promise you I'll stop the demons and maybe one day I'll meet you. But until then, I won't stop thinking about you and having you in my heart! I love you, I love you very, very-very-very-very everyone! Damn, damn, damn!
(The blades from sora's axes put out a strange green fire, sora does not see it though. So he keeps crying down to the Black ground)
