(Change of Scene)
The backdrop changes from a house to a field of flowers. Yellows and reds and pinks fill the backdrop. ZOYA laughs with her, and HIMAWARI feels like she returned to the flower fields in her hometown. When she brought her to those same fields four years before, It was almost as if the flowers danced at ZOYA’S arrival. The cranes watched ZOYA and HIMAWARI in the flower fields. And as ZOYA took HIMAWARI’S hand and took her through the flower fields she called her sanctuary, as the two laid underneath a canopy of stars, with ZOYA pointing out constellations, she knew she would take ZOYA again and again. HIMAWARI would let the words ‘I love you’ spill from her mouth a thousand times despite her reluctance to utter those three words. If ZOYA asked HIMAWARI to pull the stars from the sky to make a blanket for her, HIMAWARI would do it, and HIMAWARI knew ZOYA would do the same for her.
Two halves of a soul were reunited on that same night in the land of the dead, and on the other side, the clouds parted, letting rays of sunlight peek from the milky clouds. Chains of a thousand paper cranes were draped over tombstones. Revealing good omens in the upcoming days. On the two tombstones read the words ZOYA and HIMAWARI, star-crossed lovers until the end. The lights dim, and the only sound is the two lovers' laughter as the curtains close.
