“I want you more than any blue sky”
The world could collapse around us, but as long as I’m with you, I’m at peace.
Weathering With You and Your Name taught me the same, valuable lesson.
As long as there is breath in your lungs and love in your heart, hope remains alive. Someone out there, whether they know it or not, whether YOU know it or not, needs you. They’re depending on you. And there is never a price too steep for the ones you care about.
Much like Taki, who sacrificed every memory he had of the woman he’d come to love, for just a moment to say “I love you” in person and save Mitsuha from the horrifying visage of Tiamat reflected in her eyes, or Hodaka, who risked his own life and freedom on merely a CHANCE to bring Hina back from the brink, from her very essence being slowly devoured in the clouds, there is someone waiting for you to come and save them. They will fight until they have no strength left, and then they will continue to fight, for you. And you must do the same for them. A life is only worth living if you make it so.
“I love you”
The mind may forget, but the heart will always remember.
