:44:00
You know, when I was your age,
:44:02
...I thought if I didn't give my opinion
on the world, everything would fall apart.
:44:10
I was like a small bird...
:44:12
...who was lying on his back
to prevent the destruction of the world.
:44:16
I spoke with my friends about dying and
being killed as if it was a trivial matter...
:44:24
...as if we could be revived
and talk about it all over again.
:44:28
And you made a mistake?
:44:30
No, I didn't make a mistake,
maybe I've become too old & conservative.
:44:39
Please make me a promise.
:44:41
What kind of promise?
:44:42
Do whatever your organization asks you to.
:44:46
Write whatever you want.
:44:48
Devote everything you have
to your organization.
:44:51
...except your eyes.
:44:58
Yes, do whatever you want,
but with open eyes.
:45:05
Keep your eyes for yourself.
:45:09
It is very painful
to die of blindness.
:45:25
Well, I thought I had the talent
to become a poet...
:45:28
...but the things you have said,
anyway, I won't lose hope so easily.
:45:33
Please give me back my writings.
:45:35
You want to go?
Go, the door is open.
:45:37
But little girl, you didn't
come here to become a poet.
:45:42
And I didn't invite you here to discover
a new talent, so, let's be honest.
:45:59
Maybe some day,
you will be my confidante.
