"Come on, Hotaru, I can finally hug you." This is what Silver said to Firefly at the last moment of dissipation, and Firefly just smiled and threw herself into Silver's arms, and after he dissipated, buried her head and cried.
Silver is disappearing
Hotaru was in danger in the mountain forest when he was a child, and happened to be saved by the son of man adopted by the mountain god, but this human son became a special being under the raising of the mountain god, he is not a human or a monster, nor will he die, but if he is touched by a human, he will dissipate.
Silver who saved The Firefly, perhaps lonely want to associate with humans, when the Firefly wants to repay him he appeared, and every summer after that, The Firefly will go to the forest to find silver, over time, the two will have a secret affection, but unfortunately, they can't even hold hands, they can only use the wooden stick as an auxiliary, the two hold the same wooden stick as if the two have signed hands. Even if it was a kiss, Silver only touched the part of Hotaru's cheek through the mask.
A pleasant kiss
However, a summer festival was supposed to be a celebration of the yokai, so when Silver mistakenly thought it was the yokai's child who fell, he hurriedly helped him, but this help made his body slowly turn into fluorescence and leave this world forever.
The love between the two is more like platonic, under the impact of Western culture, our expression of feelings is more direct, and this Japanese film not only expresses the simplicity and pure beauty of adolescent love, but also expresses the caution and implicit expression of love in our Orientals. At the end of the movie, some people may hate the little friend who made Silver disappear, but after embracing the person he loves, Silver is happy at the moment of disappearance, rather than facing the life and death of Firefly but unable to do anything, this ending is a perfect ending.
