I'm waiting for you in the future

"I'll wait for you in the future."
Qian Zhao turned back, pulled Makoto's shoulders from behind who was crying a lot, took her to his chest, and whispered against her face.
"Let's go right away, run away." Makoto nodded with a look of surprise and tears.
Makoto discovered that she has the ability to transcend time and space in an accident that the bicycle brake failed. She is cheerful by nature and uses this ability to go back to the past to grab her pudding, get good results in the quiz, and sing karaoke for 10 hours. ...she uses this ability for all the things she thinks are fun. She was never tired of it, but the number that appeared on her arm by chance made her a little puzzled.
Makoto, Chiaki and Gongsuke are hard buddies. They often play together, and they have been misunderstood in their relationship with Gongsuke. She has never thought about other relationships with these two boys other than friends. Until one day, in order to avoid Qian Zhao's confession, Makoto hurriedly used her ability to cross time and space to try to prevent him from mentioning this topic, and inadvertently matched Qian Zhao and Yuri, she stared blankly at Yuri and Qian Zhao talking When I fell in love, I realized that I liked this boy in my heart. In the empty playground, the original threesome became a boring exercise for two people. Soon Gongsuke also made a girlfriend, and Makoto felt even more lonely.
Once Makoto received a text message from Gongsuke temporarily borrowing her bicycle, she subconsciously had a premonition that Gongsuke and his girlfriend would have a car accident. She hurried to remind her, but fell to the ground while running, and watched as she couldn't prevent the disaster from happening. At a critical moment, Qian Zhao appeared. He used the limited last superpower to prevent Gongsuke's car accident, but he lost the chance to stay in this era - he will disappear the next day, and the era of his existence will never come back .
Makoto was overwhelmed with regret and grief. The number on her arm suddenly gave her an epiphany, and Aunt Witch's words were still in her ears: "If the person you meet is late, Makoto should run to meet her." Makoto retraced the time when Qian Zhao rewinded back to the day when the time controller was discovered, watching "Times wait for no one" in the laboratory, turned her head and said to Yuri, "I like Qian Zhao", and then flew out to find Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao was finally able to return to his era. Before parting, Makoto hoped to hear the confession she had escaped from, but only got a "goodbye". Full of disappointment, Makoto burst into tears after sending Qian Zhao away, and that expression was like an avatar I used - crying baby.
Qian Zhao promised to wait for her in the future. In the old playground, Qian Zhao was no longer in the pitching game. Instead, it was Gongsuke's girlfriend. A change made some people appear, but made others disappear. Can it be predicted? We are smug and full of hope for the future, but maybe when we meet one day, we have forgotten the love we once had in our hearts, leaving only good memories of the past.
The future is really a hopeful and sad word, which means that we will make great strides forward, but we no longer have the past.
Remember the crazy grass growing on the school playground in the summer of 17? Remember the butterflies that landed on the swing frame in the corner of the playground? The 17-year-old time is gone forever, and before I even had time to sigh, I hurriedly picked up my luggage and left the campus. When I left, I put a letter in the closet to the new, unknown girl.
"I hope you have a wonderful high school age, I'll be waiting for you in the future!"
Now, how much I miss the same high school days as Makoto - being able to laugh happily with friends, worrying about the arts and science classes, The eyes from the boys in the next class made their hearts beat, and they hurriedly made excuses to escape before they were confessed... The busy, happy and thoughtful high school years passed by in the green summer outside the window year after year until graduation. When I broke up, I realized that I liked him, but I found that there was no chance to meet again in this life.
This film is adapted from the masterpiece of Japanese science fiction master Yasutaka Tsutsui in 1965. Before and after this, various works with the theme of traveling through time and space appeared from time to time, regardless of country or nation. The whimsy that appear in this type of subject matter is often tempting, but confused by the interweaving of time. However, all whimsy can not help but involve a theme - constantly tinkering with the details of life to make it more perfect, which also exposes the greedy nature of human beings. People often say that "life is not satisfactory", and it is precisely because of imperfection that perfection is worthy of people's expectations and efforts. If life is 100% beautiful and everything is taken for granted and plain, what else can be extracted from it for the rest of your life?
Sometimes people marvel at how the imagination of human beings can turn a dream into a miracle. Maybe one day people can really realize their desire to travel freely between the past and the future. If there is such a day, I just hope that I can go back to a certain moment, let the time stop for a while for me to stop, and feel the time again for a moment. Then, just let nature take its course and move forward according to the original trajectory! All that was ever owned, lost, everything is all moving forward, I am waiting for you in the future!
