The suspenseful places and characters in the movie are not explained clearly. It is not enough to just end the main line of the plot. The ending does not say that Takuya is right The consequences of his institute's betrayal and the final outcome with that Maki.

The Place Promised in Our Early Days quotes

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [about Sayuri] She always said she felt like she was losing something. At the time... I was in middle school, and couldn't understand what she meant. But... those words had a strange effect on me.

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [Narrating] At the time, we were drawn by two things: One was our classmate, Sawatari Sayuri... The other was the giant tower across the Tsugaru Strait. I was always looking up at that tower, I felt that something very precious waited there, I yearned to go there... One day... One day... I will go there.
