Previously Saved Version (2024) Movie Script

Why don't you take a break?
First tea of the season...
It just arrived.
Really?
Here.
Smells lovely.
- Earth-grown.
- I thought so.
- It's totally different.
- Yeah.
- I'll leave it here.
- Thanks.
Please beware
of the cargo transportation in progress.
The shuttle has arrived.
Please beware
of the cargo transportation in progress.
Mayumi.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Don't forget our appointment
with Dr. Ogasawara after this.
What's the matter?
Sorry.
I'm still not used to Metaspace.
It's like... I can't tell the difference
between what's real and what's virtual.
Don't worry.
Counseling is important to you as well.
Apart from your sense of fear,
have you experienced anything else?
What about any physical symptoms?
Sometimes I get this ringing in my ears...
and my head hurts.
And...
I have difficulty breathing.
It's possible you are suffering
from a minor case of PTSD.
That combined
with your pre-existing amnesia
may have exacerbated your anxiety.
Is there anything you can do for her?
I can prescribe something.
You should also find things
that help you relax.
Dr. Ogasawara...
will I ever fully regain...
my lost memories?
Your amnesia was triggered
by the tsunami that occurred
on Earth four years ago.
You were swept away and barely survived.
You've heard
about the catastrophic event, right?
Yes, I have.
But why...
can't I remember...
the moment that it happened?
If you ask me...
I think that's for the best.
Some painful memories are best forgotten.
Now is the time to focus on
moving forward into the future.
Today's guest, Naoki Saito...
Today, we are speaking to Naoki Saito,
founder of Saito Robotics and one
of the first to migrate into space.
Thank you for agreeing
to today's interview.
- Thank you for today's interview.
- My pleasure.
As you're well aware...
As you're well aware,
most of the wealthiest individuals
have already fled Earth.
What is life like on the Ring?
Viewing Earth from orbit...
reminds me just how precious our world is.
How do you envision...
How do you envision
humanity living in the future?
I believe that Earth will become
something like a national park
that we can occasionally visit
to spend our leisure time.
Temporarily leaving the planet
should be beneficial to both sides.
Do you really think it would...
Do you really think
it would just be temporary?
We're talking about environmental shifts
on a cosmic scale here.
It may not be feasible in ten years.
But whether it be a hundred, a thousand,
or even ten thousand years,
there will come a day
when we will return to Earth.
I'm sure of it.
Very well. Thank you very much.
Very well. Thank you very much, Mr. Saito.
How beautiful!
It almost looks like it was painted.
The shape is perfect, too.
How long does it take for these to grow?
Three months?
Three weeks?
It took three days?
Amazing.
What should I cook for Naoki today?
Hey Kyuu, do you have any good recipes?
What is it?
Galangal?
Green onions.
Lemongrass.
This and this...
Yes, it's all there.
Cut into quarters.
Kyuu, what's next?
This one?
Mushroom.
Whoa.
Pin?
Smells wonderful.
It looks great, too.
That's perfect. Thanks.
I hope it tastes the same as it used to.
This tom kha gai is incredible!
- This is maybe even better than before.
- Really?
Glad to hear that!
- Delicious.
- I guess the body doesn't forget.
Just like pottery.
I never thought
I'd be enjoying your cooking
served on your dishes like this again.
You really love tom kha gai,
don't you, Naoki?
I mean,
I didn't even like spicy food at first.
You're the one who changed that. Remember?
That's right.
Kyuu.
Thanks.
What are you writing?
I thought that keeping a timeline
of everything I recalled
would help me remember things faster.
I see.
I met you.
We got married.
Then we moved to the beach house.
And these are the gaps in my memory.
My goal for now
is to fill in the missing gaps.
Hey, Naoki.
I was thinking.
Maybe I should visit Earth.
It might help me recall more memories.
I'm not sure.
Given your current
physical and mental state,
it might not be such a good idea.
Besides...
there are currently only a few places
on Earth that are still habitable.
I just want to see
our home again with my own eyes.
Then I can take you there via Metaspace.
- Really?
- But maybe another time.
Besides, remember what Dr. Ogasawara said?
Now is the time to focus on the future
rather than look back on the past.
Welcome.
Sorry, I didn't notice you come in.
Pardon me.
Could I take shelter from the rain...
Are you from Japan?
Yes.
Are you all right?
You can leave your coat there.
Thank you.
It's been a while
since I've spoken Japanese.
Me, too.
Where were you cycling to in this weather?
Thanks.
No where in particular.
I was just cycling around
and sort of ended up here.
From Japan? On your own?
No, I haven't been
back to Japan in a while.
It's just me and my old buddy here.
How nice.
I wandered my way here myself.
Please take your time
to look around if you'd like.
Thanks.
What a beautiful blue.
You can only get that glaze here.
I see.
It isn't painted then.
This one...
is lovely.
How much is this?
Sorry. That's a failed attempt.
Everything on that shelf is a prototype.
They're not for sale.
But...
I can give it to you, if you like.
Are you sure?
I can't sell them.
But I can't throw them away either.
No, but...
I really like this one, though.
Ow!
Did I do... something wrong?
No.
It's nothing.
Let's do it another time.
Where did you go?
I went to pour myself some whiskey.
Did you bring one for me?
No.
I didn't think you'd want one.
You talk like you know
everything about me.
Better than I know myself.
Yes.
That's right.
I know my wife very well.
And you...
are not Mayumi.
This nightmare appears
to have been quite traumatic.
Did the man who stabbed you in your dream
resemble anyone you know?
The man who tried...
to kill me in my dream...
is someone you also know quite well.
I do?
Who is he?
My... husband.
I see.
However, your nightmare
is far removed from reality.
I believe you are suffering
from PTSD combined
with anterograde amnesia.
But it felt so real.
It was like Naoki was
actually in front of me and...
Mayumi.
May I say something to you?
Not as your doctor but as a family friend?
Please.
The individual who you claim
killed you in your dream
is the same individual
who never left your side
during your long coma.
Medically speaking, I didn't think
you'd ever regain consciousness.
But Naoki never gave up on you.
It was the first time I saw him cry.
Mayumi.
When you woke up, he was so happy.
Naoki.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For going into Metaspace on my own.
It's fine.
Okay, let's do this.
Hold this for a second.
It's still here.
Just tell me how much and I'll pay.
Those are too fragile.
I need to glaze them again.
Too "fragile"?
Like that's gonna matter
when the next tsunami
sweeps it all away!
Hey!
Naoki.
Naoki!
Ouch! That hurts.
You seemed like such a hero
just moments ago.
And who am I now?
Someone who...
cares about me.
But just promise me this.
Don't ever do something like that again.
You...
really frightened me.
I just can't stand seeing
someone trying to hurt you.
Fine.
All right.
Next time something happens,
I'll let Kyuu handle it.
Happy?
- What?
- What?
Listen up, Kyuu.
From now on, you'll be the hero
who protects Mayumi.
Good.
Enough of that.
I can look after myself.
Any other injuries?
You don't have to talk about it...
if you don't want to.
Souvenirs from my father.
He...
always enjoyed his cigars.
Clair de lune?
You always loved this song.
I remember the entire melody.
Somehow...
that makes me genuinely happy.
How about we go see...
the real claire de lune?
Where is it?
Hold on.
Just a little longer.
There.
A red moon!
It's a lunar eclipse visible from space.
I wish I could walk on it.
Look at all those craters.
It's so pretty.
Naoki?
Naoki?
What are you doing?
Hurry up and open it.
- Naoki?
- I can't.
You...
are not Mayumi.
What are you saying?
I am Mayumi.
Your wife.
Naoki.
Naoki!
Open this!
Naoki! Please!
Hurry! Open this door!
Naoki!
Naoki!
It was defective.
Dispose of it.
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi.
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi! Mayumi!
Mayumi?
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
You disposed of another one?
It was defective.
That wasn't Mayumi.
Is it possible you installed
the wrong memory backup?
Hardly.
I used the backup file
for the exact day you specified.
Then...
she shouldn't have remembered that song.
Are you certain it wasn't a coincidence?
Or perhaps, at that point,
things had already begun between them.
Enough. That's enough.
Make another one.
Use the previously saved version.
Naoki...
I am not sure this is a good idea.
I could just find myself
another memory transplant specialist.
They're easy enough to come by these days.
Mayumi's previously saved version...
is from a backup taken not long after
your honeymoon together.
That's exactly the one I'm talking about.
Our marriage was at its best back then.
And if we go that far back,
her memories of that woman
will be practically nonexistent.
There's no chance
of the same defect occurring twice.
There's no guarantee the next Mayumi will
believe the tsunami and the coma story...
In that case,
we'll just tell her the truth.
What?
You don't mean...
She's an android.
You will be receiving
her new body shortly.
Please take care of the rest.
Naoki?
It's all right.
I'm here.
Where...
am I?
Our new home.
What?
After our honeymoon,
we went to get our backups done.
Remember?
Of course I do.
Wasn't that this morning?
It was way before that.
What do you mean?
Your memory was frozen
at the time that backup was done.
What?
You mean...
That's right.
One year after your last memory backup...
you died in an accident.
What?
You're messing with me, right?
Mayumi,
I don't want you to get too caught up
or...
worried about what happened.
Wait a second.
Then...
how long has it been...
since...
I had the accident?
Five years.
Five years?
It feels like no time at all has passed.
You're so warm.
Thank you...
for coming back to me.
Ouch!
What?
- Catch this!
- Hey!
Try hitting me!
- Like this!
- Stop!
Missed by a long shot. Look!
- Over here.
- What? Why?
Seriously, Naoki!
I still remember this.
It really was a happy day.
Yes.
It really was.
But you know what?
So was every day after.
How do you feel about all of this?
What?
My feelings...
about being dead?
Yeah, I guess.
Look, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
Well.
It's the truth.
How do I feel about being dead?
It's like...
I've somehow cheated death.
I wonder...
would a copy of me feel the same way?
Is this...
who I really am?
Or am I just a copy?
Am I...
enough for you, Naoki?
This was the only way.
But, Mayumi, I know you didn't...
ask for this.
I know.
Let's go on a honeymoon!
- A honeymoon?
- Yes.
It's not too late.
We'll start over.
It's so warm!
I'm sorry it's not the real thing.
Still I thought you'd want to come here.
It's wonderful. Thank you.
I never thought taking a day trip
like this in space would be possible.
Hi.
Hi.
What do you fancy tonight, ma'am?
Try "Basil Bliss."
She makes a mean one.
A bit potent but very refreshing.
Okay.
I do need something strong tonight.
Okay.
- Make that two.
- All right.
I'm Jeab.
Mayumi.
- Jeab?
- Yes, Jeab.
Mayumi?
What's the matter?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Wow.
Incredible!
It's exactly the same.
Wow.
This takes me back.
- This takes you back?
- Yeah.
I see.
Question.
What used to be here?
- The TV?
- Correct!
Well done.
How about...
Do you remember this hole?
What was here before?
Here...
There was a robot here
to hide the hole that Kyuu had made.
Correct.
It's raining!
Jeab?
Naoki.
There's something I need to tell you.
It can wait.
- I don't think it should...
- That's right!
There's somewhere I want to take you!
What?
You'll need to hold on.
What is it?
Come on.
We're flying.
We're in free fall.
You'll stay here with me forever.
But Naoki...
I...
can't stay here.
You knew that I was seeing her.
What are you talking about?
I knew because of the way
you looked at me.
I saw how much it hurt you.
You're wrong.
Besides... none of that matters now.
It does to me.
I woke up here...
feeling just like I did the day
I had my backup done.
But I realized...
- that Jeab is already inside my heart...
- Stop.
I do love you, Naoki.
Just not the same way as before.
But...
I can't be your whole life.
Do you understand?
You do?
Yes.
I'm tired.
What's wrong?
Still raining?
I'll do it.
Okay.
So, I hurt you, and then what?
- Naoki.
- Yes?
I don't think I'm asking for much.
Don't use violence.
Don't hurt people.
But you can't even do that.
Is there someone else?
Why else would you
suddenly want to break up?
When was I violent toward you?
- When have I ever laid a finger on you?
- Look at this!
- Don't hit things.
- I'm not.
I just ran into it. Like this.
Tell me why! Tell me!
Tell me, damn it!
The shape of the nose.
The shape of the nose.
Naughty.
The fullness of the cheeks.
I love your cheeks.
The curve of the ears.
I'm covered in mud.
Are you making a mold of me?
I'm burning your shape into my body,
so that I'll never forget.
No matter what.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm heading out again.
As long as I'm around,
you won't ever change.
- Isn't that a good thing?
- It's not.
Why?
What's wrong with that?
You're messed up!
You're messed up!
It's you.
- You're the messed up one.
- Fine then!
- Tell me how I'm messed up!
- That's exactly what's wrong with you!
I'm done.
Just leave me alone!
Use a version of Mayumi
from when we first met.
You can erase everything after that.
Our wedding, our honeymoon,
the time we spent together,
all six years of it.
You can't be serious.
The Mayumi from back then
had only just met you.
She'll hardly have any shared memo...
One more time.
Just once more.
What if it doesn't work this time either?
It will work.
I'll make sure of it.
Naoki... Saito?
There's no need to be so frightened.
How can I not be?
I wake up to find myself imprisoned
by a man I hardly know.
"Imprisoned"? Please.
You always wanted to go to space.
Not against my will.
Your confusion
is completely understandable.
But I can assure you, we will
come to love each other again.
You don't know that.
In the summer of 2194...
we had a grand wedding
before setting off on a trip
around the world for our honeymoon.
Then we got a house by the beach
and settled down.
It was a truly happy life.
But I don't remember any of it.
And yet, it really did happen.
It's not surprising you don't remember.
The current version of you
hasn't experienced those memories.
Why...
bring back a version of me
from before I married you?
What if I don't fall
in love with you again?
Because I believed...
you would fall in love with me again.
And I wanted you to make that choice.
I didn't want you to feel obligated.
If you still want to leave
after a few days,
I won't stop you.
Naoki...
were we happy...
as husband and wife?
As husband and wife,
we were happy for all six years of it.
Good night.
Good night, Mayumi.
"Naoki will kill you."
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Sorry, I seem to have startled you.
I just wanted to let you know that
I have several meetings scheduled today,
so I might be late.
Is something wrong?
No.
I think I just didn't get enough sleep.
Try and get a little more sleep then.
I'll see you later tonight.
Hey!
One other thing.
After I finish work, I want to show you
around the residence,
- so just keep that mind.
- Okay.
Hey, Kyuu!
I need to get out of here.
Is there any way out?
All right. Can you call
someone who can help?
Please, Kyuu.
Kyuu,
did you write that note in the drawer?
If it wasn't you,
then who wrote it?
It was me.
You are also... Mayumi.
Yes.
We all are.
Kyuu saved us.
But Naoki took us apart,
dismantled what made us human.
But he failed.
I have some memories,
but they are full of gaps.
We are nobody.
- That's not true.
- It's true.
Listen, please.
Leave us and get out of here!
No.
Although I'm not sure how we'll escape.
We are the same person.
You are me.
We are you.
So you've got to escape
for the rest of us.
Airlock is being decontaminated.
Airlock is being decontaminated.
Kyuu.
Do you receive packages
through this airlock?
Are you the one
who arranges the deliveries?
So you can call
a delivery shuttle from Earth?
Let's help each other.
How?
Tell me everything you remember.
This is everything I know.
I'm nearly done.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Can we talk?
Just for a bit.
There's nothing more to talk about.
How did things end up like this?
Every time you apologized...
and promised you'd never hurt me again,
I believed you.
Mayumi...
I'll never do that to you again.
I promise.
Perhaps...
all of this stems from your past trauma.
I feel sorry for you about that.
But...
I can't be the one who fixes you anymore.
When I think about a life without you,
it makes me wish
you would just kill me instead.
Goodbye, Naoki.
Mayumi...
come back to the house now.
Please, Mayumi.
I promised...
never to hurt you again, remember?
Why won't you believe what I said?
This is the last time.
Mayumi, I'm begging you to come back.
No.
I already said goodbye!
No.
You don't get to say that.
Don't come near me!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Stay there!
I'm on my way!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Tom kha gai.
I'm sure it will be lovely
in one of your bowls.
Delicious.
But how did you know
that I like tom kha gai now,
when I used to dislike it?
I know a lot about you.
Is that so?
That's something your backup version
isn't supposed to know.
You...
Tom kha gai.
Mayumi?
What are you preparing for dinner tonight?
Hide all you want.
There's nowhere for you to run!
Throw it at me.
You are not Mayumi.
You're nothing more
than a pathetic little android.
Where is Mayumi?
We are all Mayumi!
The Mayumi you want doesn't exist.
Kyuu, stop the elevator!
Kyuu, what's going on?
Start the elevator!
Thank you.
We are not just parts anymore.
Kyuu, we'll lock Naoki in this room.
Whatever happens,
thank you for helping us.
You are...
the last truly human part of him left.
I'm no longer...
the fragmented Mayumi you created.
I know...
everything you did to me...
to us!
Shut up...
you defective android.
Kyuu...
what are you doing?
I guess I did tell you to protect Mayumi.
Stop, Naoki!
But...
that thing is not Mayumi!
Kyuu!
The shuttle is arriving.
Please clear the airlock.
The shuttle is arriving.
Why is a shuttle coming here?
I didn't request one.
That delivery isn't for you.
I ordered it.
We will never forgive you...
for what you did to us.
But...
being imperfect is part of being human.
No!
That woman...
She ruined everything.
- If it weren't for her...
- You!
You ruined everything.
How do you envision
humanity living in the future?
Being able to live in space?
- Being able to live in space?
- What's that?
What is required for humanity
to live in space?
- To live?
- Yes.
For everyday life.
- Air!
- Air.
- A shower?
- Yes, a shower.
Because water in zero gravity
becomes spherical.
- Right.
- So it doesn't flow downwards, in a sense.
When you think about it that way,
Earth is a miraculous planet.
Because it can hold water.
- I see.
- It's unique.
What are you drawing?
Our house in space.
Our house in space.
- This is your room.
- Way over there?
This is the living room.
And this is where I do my pottery.
What are you drawing?
- Is that me?
- It's difficult to trace your face.
Let's draw your glasses.
- Don't look yet.
- I'm not.
I'll add a bunch of these...
- Can I look?
- Fine.
Boy, am I hungry.
Seriously, I'm starving.
I think I prefer chicken.
Everyone is already here.
Let's go.
We should just live
our separate lives, Naoki.
The shuttle is about to depart.
Please proceed to the airlock immediately.
The shuttle is about to depart.
Please proceed to the airlock immediately.
Hey.
Do you plan to stay in Thailand forever?
Yes, that's the plan.
I don't have a place to go back to anyway.
I understand. It's the same for me.
What about your family?
I have none.
For me, this place is paradise.
Hey.
Remember all the pieces of pottery
you saw in my shop?
Yeah.
Do you know...
what came before them?
Hard work?
Lots of broken pottery.
I think...
we're the same.
I made some tea for you.
The one you love the most.
Thank you.
The first harvest of the season.
So nice.
You know...
sometimes I still feel...
I have some memories missing.
Everybody does.
Even you?
Yeah.
Why don't you take a break?
First tea of the season...
It just arrived.
Really?
Here.
Smells lovely.
- Earth-grown.
- I thought so.
- It's totally different.
- Yeah.
- I'll leave it here.
- Thanks.
Please beware
of the cargo transportation in progress.
The shuttle has arrived.
Please beware
of the cargo transportation in progress.
Mayumi.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Don't forget our appointment
with Dr. Ogasawara after this.
What's the matter?
Sorry.
I'm still not used to Metaspace.
It's like... I can't tell the difference
between what's real and what's virtual.
Don't worry.
Counseling is important to you as well.
Apart from your sense of fear,
have you experienced anything else?
What about any physical symptoms?
Sometimes I get this ringing in my ears...
and my head hurts.
And...
I have difficulty breathing.
It's possible you are suffering
from a minor case of PTSD.
That combined
with your pre-existing amnesia
may have exacerbated your anxiety.
Is there anything you can do for her?
I can prescribe something.
You should also find things
that help you relax.
Dr. Ogasawara...
will I ever fully regain...
my lost memories?
Your amnesia was triggered
by the tsunami that occurred
on Earth four years ago.
You were swept away and barely survived.
You've heard
about the catastrophic event, right?
Yes, I have.
But why...
can't I remember...
the moment that it happened?
If you ask me...
I think that's for the best.
Some painful memories are best forgotten.
Now is the time to focus on
moving forward into the future.
Today's guest, Naoki Saito...
Today, we are speaking to Naoki Saito,
founder of Saito Robotics and one
of the first to migrate into space.
Thank you for agreeing
to today's interview.
- Thank you for today's interview.
- My pleasure.
As you're well aware...
As you're well aware,
most of the wealthiest individuals
have already fled Earth.
What is life like on the Ring?
Viewing Earth from orbit...
reminds me just how precious our world is.
How do you envision...
How do you envision
humanity living in the future?
I believe that Earth will become
something like a national park
that we can occasionally visit
to spend our leisure time.
Temporarily leaving the planet
should be beneficial to both sides.
Do you really think it would...
Do you really think
it would just be temporary?
We're talking about environmental shifts
on a cosmic scale here.
It may not be feasible in ten years.
But whether it be a hundred, a thousand,
or even ten thousand years,
there will come a day
when we will return to Earth.
I'm sure of it.
Very well. Thank you very much.
Very well. Thank you very much, Mr. Saito.
How beautiful!
It almost looks like it was painted.
The shape is perfect, too.
How long does it take for these to grow?
Three months?
Three weeks?
It took three days?
Amazing.
What should I cook for Naoki today?
Hey Kyuu, do you have any good recipes?
What is it?
Galangal?
Green onions.
Lemongrass.
This and this...
Yes, it's all there.
Cut into quarters.
Kyuu, what's next?
This one?
Mushroom.
Whoa.
Pin?
Smells wonderful.
It looks great, too.
That's perfect. Thanks.
I hope it tastes the same as it used to.
This tom kha gai is incredible!
- This is maybe even better than before.
- Really?
Glad to hear that!
- Delicious.
- I guess the body doesn't forget.
Just like pottery.
I never thought
I'd be enjoying your cooking
served on your dishes like this again.
You really love tom kha gai,
don't you, Naoki?
I mean,
I didn't even like spicy food at first.
You're the one who changed that. Remember?
That's right.
Kyuu.
Thanks.
What are you writing?
I thought that keeping a timeline
of everything I recalled
would help me remember things faster.
I see.
I met you.
We got married.
Then we moved to the beach house.
And these are the gaps in my memory.
My goal for now
is to fill in the missing gaps.
Hey, Naoki.
I was thinking.
Maybe I should visit Earth.
It might help me recall more memories.
I'm not sure.
Given your current
physical and mental state,
it might not be such a good idea.
Besides...
there are currently only a few places
on Earth that are still habitable.
I just want to see
our home again with my own eyes.
Then I can take you there via Metaspace.
- Really?
- But maybe another time.
Besides, remember what Dr. Ogasawara said?
Now is the time to focus on the future
rather than look back on the past.
Welcome.
Sorry, I didn't notice you come in.
Pardon me.
Could I take shelter from the rain...
Are you from Japan?
Yes.
Are you all right?
You can leave your coat there.
Thank you.
It's been a while
since I've spoken Japanese.
Me, too.
Where were you cycling to in this weather?
Thanks.
No where in particular.
I was just cycling around
and sort of ended up here.
From Japan? On your own?
No, I haven't been
back to Japan in a while.
It's just me and my old buddy here.
How nice.
I wandered my way here myself.
Please take your time
to look around if you'd like.
Thanks.
What a beautiful blue.
You can only get that glaze here.
I see.
It isn't painted then.
This one...
is lovely.
How much is this?
Sorry. That's a failed attempt.
Everything on that shelf is a prototype.
They're not for sale.
But...
I can give it to you, if you like.
Are you sure?
I can't sell them.
But I can't throw them away either.
No, but...
I really like this one, though.
Ow!
Did I do... something wrong?
No.
It's nothing.
Let's do it another time.
Where did you go?
I went to pour myself some whiskey.
Did you bring one for me?
No.
I didn't think you'd want one.
You talk like you know
everything about me.
Better than I know myself.
Yes.
That's right.
I know my wife very well.
And you...
are not Mayumi.
This nightmare appears
to have been quite traumatic.
Did the man who stabbed you in your dream
resemble anyone you know?
The man who tried...
to kill me in my dream...
is someone you also know quite well.
I do?
Who is he?
My... husband.
I see.
However, your nightmare
is far removed from reality.
I believe you are suffering
from PTSD combined
with anterograde amnesia.
But it felt so real.
It was like Naoki was
actually in front of me and...
Mayumi.
May I say something to you?
Not as your doctor but as a family friend?
Please.
The individual who you claim
killed you in your dream
is the same individual
who never left your side
during your long coma.
Medically speaking, I didn't think
you'd ever regain consciousness.
But Naoki never gave up on you.
It was the first time I saw him cry.
Mayumi.
When you woke up, he was so happy.
Naoki.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For going into Metaspace on my own.
It's fine.
Okay, let's do this.
Hold this for a second.
It's still here.
Just tell me how much and I'll pay.
Those are too fragile.
I need to glaze them again.
Too "fragile"?
Like that's gonna matter
when the next tsunami
sweeps it all away!
Hey!
Naoki.
Naoki!
Ouch! That hurts.
You seemed like such a hero
just moments ago.
And who am I now?
Someone who...
cares about me.
But just promise me this.
Don't ever do something like that again.
You...
really frightened me.
I just can't stand seeing
someone trying to hurt you.
Fine.
All right.
Next time something happens,
I'll let Kyuu handle it.
Happy?
- What?
- What?
Listen up, Kyuu.
From now on, you'll be the hero
who protects Mayumi.
Good.
Enough of that.
I can look after myself.
Any other injuries?
You don't have to talk about it...
if you don't want to.
Souvenirs from my father.
He...
always enjoyed his cigars.
Clair de lune?
You always loved this song.
I remember the entire melody.
Somehow...
that makes me genuinely happy.
How about we go see...
the real claire de lune?
Where is it?
Hold on.
Just a little longer.
There.
A red moon!
It's a lunar eclipse visible from space.
I wish I could walk on it.
Look at all those craters.
It's so pretty.
Naoki?
Naoki?
What are you doing?
Hurry up and open it.
- Naoki?
- I can't.
You...
are not Mayumi.
What are you saying?
I am Mayumi.
Your wife.
Naoki.
Naoki!
Open this!
Naoki! Please!
Hurry! Open this door!
Naoki!
Naoki!
It was defective.
Dispose of it.
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi.
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi! Mayumi!
Mayumi?
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
You disposed of another one?
It was defective.
That wasn't Mayumi.
Is it possible you installed
the wrong memory backup?
Hardly.
I used the backup file
for the exact day you specified.
Then...
she shouldn't have remembered that song.
Are you certain it wasn't a coincidence?
Or perhaps, at that point,
things had already begun between them.
Enough. That's enough.
Make another one.
Use the previously saved version.
Naoki...
I am not sure this is a good idea.
I could just find myself
another memory transplant specialist.
They're easy enough to come by these days.
Mayumi's previously saved version...
is from a backup taken not long after
your honeymoon together.
That's exactly the one I'm talking about.
Our marriage was at its best back then.
And if we go that far back,
her memories of that woman
will be practically nonexistent.
There's no chance
of the same defect occurring twice.
There's no guarantee the next Mayumi will
believe the tsunami and the coma story...
In that case,
we'll just tell her the truth.
What?
You don't mean...
She's an android.
You will be receiving
her new body shortly.
Please take care of the rest.
Naoki?
It's all right.
I'm here.
Where...
am I?
Our new home.
What?
After our honeymoon,
we went to get our backups done.
Remember?
Of course I do.
Wasn't that this morning?
It was way before that.
What do you mean?
Your memory was frozen
at the time that backup was done.
What?
You mean...
That's right.
One year after your last memory backup...
you died in an accident.
What?
You're messing with me, right?
Mayumi,
I don't want you to get too caught up
or...
worried about what happened.
Wait a second.
Then...
how long has it been...
since...
I had the accident?
Five years.
Five years?
It feels like no time at all has passed.
You're so warm.
Thank you...
for coming back to me.
Ouch!
What?
- Catch this!
- Hey!
Try hitting me!
- Like this!
- Stop!
Missed by a long shot. Look!
- Over here.
- What? Why?
Seriously, Naoki!
I still remember this.
It really was a happy day.
Yes.
It really was.
But you know what?
So was every day after.
How do you feel about all of this?
What?
My feelings...
about being dead?
Yeah, I guess.
Look, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
Well.
It's the truth.
How do I feel about being dead?
It's like...
I've somehow cheated death.
I wonder...
would a copy of me feel the same way?
Is this...
who I really am?
Or am I just a copy?
Am I...
enough for you, Naoki?
This was the only way.
But, Mayumi, I know you didn't...
ask for this.
I know.
Let's go on a honeymoon!
- A honeymoon?
- Yes.
It's not too late.
We'll start over.
It's so warm!
I'm sorry it's not the real thing.
Still I thought you'd want to come here.
It's wonderful. Thank you.
I never thought taking a day trip
like this in space would be possible.
Hi.
Hi.
What do you fancy tonight, ma'am?
Try "Basil Bliss."
She makes a mean one.
A bit potent but very refreshing.
Okay.
I do need something strong tonight.
Okay.
- Make that two.
- All right.
I'm Jeab.
Mayumi.
- Jeab?
- Yes, Jeab.
Mayumi?
What's the matter?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Wow.
Incredible!
It's exactly the same.
Wow.
This takes me back.
- This takes you back?
- Yeah.
I see.
Question.
What used to be here?
- The TV?
- Correct!
Well done.
How about...
Do you remember this hole?
What was here before?
Here...
There was a robot here
to hide the hole that Kyuu had made.
Correct.
It's raining!
Jeab?
Naoki.
There's something I need to tell you.
It can wait.
- I don't think it should...
- That's right!
There's somewhere I want to take you!
What?
You'll need to hold on.
What is it?
Come on.
We're flying.
We're in free fall.
You'll stay here with me forever.
But Naoki...
I...
can't stay here.
You knew that I was seeing her.
What are you talking about?
I knew because of the way
you looked at me.
I saw how much it hurt you.
You're wrong.
Besides... none of that matters now.
It does to me.
I woke up here...
feeling just like I did the day
I had my backup done.
But I realized...
- that Jeab is already inside my heart...
- Stop.
I do love you, Naoki.
Just not the same way as before.
But...
I can't be your whole life.
Do you understand?
You do?
Yes.
I'm tired.
What's wrong?
Still raining?
I'll do it.
Okay.
So, I hurt you, and then what?
- Naoki.
- Yes?
I don't think I'm asking for much.
Don't use violence.
Don't hurt people.
But you can't even do that.
Is there someone else?
Why else would you
suddenly want to break up?
When was I violent toward you?
- When have I ever laid a finger on you?
- Look at this!
- Don't hit things.
- I'm not.
I just ran into it. Like this.
Tell me why! Tell me!
Tell me, damn it!
The shape of the nose.
The shape of the nose.
Naughty.
The fullness of the cheeks.
I love your cheeks.
The curve of the ears.
I'm covered in mud.
Are you making a mold of me?
I'm burning your shape into my body,
so that I'll never forget.
No matter what.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm heading out again.
As long as I'm around,
you won't ever change.
- Isn't that a good thing?
- It's not.
Why?
What's wrong with that?
You're messed up!
You're messed up!
It's you.
- You're the messed up one.
- Fine then!
- Tell me how I'm messed up!
- That's exactly what's wrong with you!
I'm done.
Just leave me alone!
Use a version of Mayumi
from when we first met.
You can erase everything after that.
Our wedding, our honeymoon,
the time we spent together,
all six years of it.
You can't be serious.
The Mayumi from back then
had only just met you.
She'll hardly have any shared memo...
One more time.
Just once more.
What if it doesn't work this time either?
It will work.
I'll make sure of it.
Naoki... Saito?
There's no need to be so frightened.
How can I not be?
I wake up to find myself imprisoned
by a man I hardly know.
"Imprisoned"? Please.
You always wanted to go to space.
Not against my will.
Your confusion
is completely understandable.
But I can assure you, we will
come to love each other again.
You don't know that.
In the summer of 2194...
we had a grand wedding
before setting off on a trip
around the world for our honeymoon.
Then we got a house by the beach
and settled down.
It was a truly happy life.
But I don't remember any of it.
And yet, it really did happen.
It's not surprising you don't remember.
The current version of you
hasn't experienced those memories.
Why...
bring back a version of me
from before I married you?
What if I don't fall
in love with you again?
Because I believed...
you would fall in love with me again.
And I wanted you to make that choice.
I didn't want you to feel obligated.
If you still want to leave
after a few days,
I won't stop you.
Naoki...
were we happy...
as husband and wife?
As husband and wife,
we were happy for all six years of it.
Good night.
Good night, Mayumi.
"Naoki will kill you."
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Sorry, I seem to have startled you.
I just wanted to let you know that
I have several meetings scheduled today,
so I might be late.
Is something wrong?
No.
I think I just didn't get enough sleep.
Try and get a little more sleep then.
I'll see you later tonight.
Hey!
One other thing.
After I finish work, I want to show you
around the residence,
- so just keep that mind.
- Okay.
Hey, Kyuu!
I need to get out of here.
Is there any way out?
All right. Can you call
someone who can help?
Please, Kyuu.
Kyuu,
did you write that note in the drawer?
If it wasn't you,
then who wrote it?
It was me.
You are also... Mayumi.
Yes.
We all are.
Kyuu saved us.
But Naoki took us apart,
dismantled what made us human.
But he failed.
I have some memories,
but they are full of gaps.
We are nobody.
- That's not true.
- It's true.
Listen, please.
Leave us and get out of here!
No.
Although I'm not sure how we'll escape.
We are the same person.
You are me.
We are you.
So you've got to escape
for the rest of us.
Airlock is being decontaminated.
Airlock is being decontaminated.
Kyuu.
Do you receive packages
through this airlock?
Are you the one
who arranges the deliveries?
So you can call
a delivery shuttle from Earth?
Let's help each other.
How?
Tell me everything you remember.
This is everything I know.
I'm nearly done.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Can we talk?
Just for a bit.
There's nothing more to talk about.
How did things end up like this?
Every time you apologized...
and promised you'd never hurt me again,
I believed you.
Mayumi...
I'll never do that to you again.
I promise.
Perhaps...
all of this stems from your past trauma.
I feel sorry for you about that.
But...
I can't be the one who fixes you anymore.
When I think about a life without you,
it makes me wish
you would just kill me instead.
Goodbye, Naoki.
Mayumi...
come back to the house now.
Please, Mayumi.
I promised...
never to hurt you again, remember?
Why won't you believe what I said?
This is the last time.
Mayumi, I'm begging you to come back.
No.
I already said goodbye!
No.
You don't get to say that.
Don't come near me!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Stay there!
I'm on my way!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Mayumi!
Tom kha gai.
I'm sure it will be lovely
in one of your bowls.
Delicious.
But how did you know
that I like tom kha gai now,
when I used to dislike it?
I know a lot about you.
Is that so?
That's something your backup version
isn't supposed to know.
You...
Tom kha gai.
Mayumi?
What are you preparing for dinner tonight?
Hide all you want.
There's nowhere for you to run!
Throw it at me.
You are not Mayumi.
You're nothing more
than a pathetic little android.
Where is Mayumi?
We are all Mayumi!
The Mayumi you want doesn't exist.
Kyuu, stop the elevator!
Kyuu, what's going on?
Start the elevator!
Thank you.
We are not just parts anymore.
Kyuu, we'll lock Naoki in this room.
Whatever happens,
thank you for helping us.
You are...
the last truly human part of him left.
I'm no longer...
the fragmented Mayumi you created.
I know...
everything you did to me...
to us!
Shut up...
you defective android.
Kyuu...
what are you doing?
I guess I did tell you to protect Mayumi.
Stop, Naoki!
But...
that thing is not Mayumi!
Kyuu!
The shuttle is arriving.
Please clear the airlock.
The shuttle is arriving.
Why is a shuttle coming here?
I didn't request one.
That delivery isn't for you.
I ordered it.
We will never forgive you...
for what you did to us.
But...
being imperfect is part of being human.
No!
That woman...
She ruined everything.
- If it weren't for her...
- You!
You ruined everything.
How do you envision
humanity living in the future?
Being able to live in space?
- Being able to live in space?
- What's that?
What is required for humanity
to live in space?
- To live?
- Yes.
For everyday life.
- Air!
- Air.
- A shower?
- Yes, a shower.
Because water in zero gravity
becomes spherical.
- Right.
- So it doesn't flow downwards, in a sense.
When you think about it that way,
Earth is a miraculous planet.
Because it can hold water.
- I see.
- It's unique.
What are you drawing?
Our house in space.
Our house in space.
- This is your room.
- Way over there?
This is the living room.
And this is where I do my pottery.
What are you drawing?
- Is that me?
- It's difficult to trace your face.
Let's draw your glasses.
- Don't look yet.
- I'm not.
I'll add a bunch of these...
- Can I look?
- Fine.
Boy, am I hungry.
Seriously, I'm starving.
I think I prefer chicken.
Everyone is already here.
Let's go.
We should just live
our separate lives, Naoki.
The shuttle is about to depart.
Please proceed to the airlock immediately.
The shuttle is about to depart.
Please proceed to the airlock immediately.
Hey.
Do you plan to stay in Thailand forever?
Yes, that's the plan.
I don't have a place to go back to anyway.
I understand. It's the same for me.
What about your family?
I have none.
For me, this place is paradise.
Hey.
Remember all the pieces of pottery
you saw in my shop?
Yeah.
Do you know...
what came before them?
Hard work?
Lots of broken pottery.
I think...
we're the same.
I made some tea for you.
The one you love the most.
Thank you.
The first harvest of the season.
So nice.
You know...
sometimes I still feel...
I have some memories missing.
Everybody does.
Even you?
Yeah.
