Meet you
I am no longer alone
Two billion light-years of solitude
By Shuntaro Tanikawa
Translated by Tahara
Humans are on a tiny earth
Sleep, get up, and work
Sometimes I want to be friends with an alien planet
Cosmic people on tiny alien planets
What to do, I don't know
(Maybe sleep, maybe get up, maybe work)
But sometimes I want to be good friends with the earth
That's something that can be believed
universal gravitation
It is the force that attracts each other to loneliness
The universe is tilting
So we all seek each other to know each other
The universe is gradually bloating
Again, everyone is disturbed by this
Faced with two billion light-years of loneliness
I couldn't help but sneeze
The story begins like this: a lonely and autistic girl Is cold, and just when she doesn't know how to face this kind of life as a person, a strange phone call comes from the brain, and thus, she meets the deaf boy Shinya. After several confirmations, the two sides can finally determine that the other party is a real existence, although there is an hour of time difference between the two people's psychic phones, but all this is not illusory. Slowly, the daily phone calls that make this girl's lonely mind acquiesce to the boy's presence in his heart and also develop a dependence on him. A bland and extraordinary love affair begins.
Love takes root in each other's hearts. So they agreed that in the summer they would meet. Perhaps the tragedy inevitably began with this decision.
In the world of telephony, the cool time is an hour earlier than Shinya. So, they temporarily stopped contacting, looking forward to the upcoming meeting in the real world, the occurrence of tragedy will always not give any warning, a car quickly rushed towards Liang, Shen also rushed out to push her away, Liang judged from the watch that he was Shenye, and Shen also used sign language to leave him a word, you are no longer alone. In the hospital, sitting by Shinya's bedside, Liang once again dialed the soul phone, an hour ago Shin also received a call, Liang cruelly deceived Shinya, but a sentence I hate your voice made Shinya aware of the problem, at this time Liang knew that Shinya had not been able to hear and make any sound since he was five years old. Shinya told Liang that the moment he dialed the telephony, he re-experienced the joy of listening and talking, so he would definitely come no matter what, and he should come even more in order to save Liang.
The director tells us in a special way about the coolness of many years later, a cool that will never forget Shenye, but can smile strongly, no longer afraid of this strange world, live seriously, remember seriously, no matter how many years later, she will still remember the voice of that year, the most gentle voice, the voice that changed her life, the most unique voice in the world that only she can hear.
If we speak in the dark and cry softly, are these inexplicable words transmitted to some unknown corner, should we believe that somewhere there is an equally lonely person, listening word by word?
Heaven will always arrange something to soothe the lonely soul, like a white rabbit milk candy that spreads out its hands when you cry, and one day you understand that it is just a dream-like innocence, but you are satisfied, really satisfied.
Meeting you lonely is the most surprising adventure in your life.
But life is not always joyful, magic will always dissipate, and memories will eventually petrify.
And at that time, at that time, it was really good to be strong.
Because, from then on, we will have to face two billion light-years of loneliness.
That was when the earthlings said goodbye to aliens, and still had to sleep, get up, and then work, two billion light-years of loneliness.
