00:00:00.495 --> 00:00:00.995 align:middle line:90%
"Love".

00:00:00.995 --> 00:00:05.030 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:05.030 --> 00:00:08.420 align:middle line:84%
A butterfly grows up on the
other side of the bullet train

00:00:08.420 --> 00:00:10.790 align:middle line:84%
tracks, lulled to
sleep each evening

00:00:10.790 --> 00:00:14.180 align:middle line:84%
by the intermittent swish
of a train sliding by.

00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:17.630 align:middle line:84%
As an adolescent butterfly, he
is often praised by his coaches

00:00:17.630 --> 00:00:19.550 align:middle line:84%
and finds himself on
the track and field

00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:22.550 align:middle line:84%
team which is where he develops
his own special technique

00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:23.570 align:middle line:90%
for flying.

00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:26.390 align:middle line:84%
His is a no flutter
even flapping technique

00:00:26.390 --> 00:00:29.000 align:middle line:84%
with a highly developed
sense of micro currents.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.460 align:middle line:84%
And soon, he's recognized
all the world over

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:33.020 align:middle line:90%
as a high speed champion.

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:35.120 align:middle line:84%
He's going to the
butterfly Olympics,

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:38.990 align:middle line:84%
the neighbors say to each other
as they hear him speed by.

00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:41.337 align:middle line:84%
One day, he takes some
time off from practice

00:00:41.337 --> 00:00:43.670 align:middle line:84%
to be with his girlfriend and
they spend the day playing

00:00:43.670 --> 00:00:45.890 align:middle line:84%
in the wake of the
passing bullet trains.

00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:48.350 align:middle line:84%
One way that the
story continues is

00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:49.910 align:middle line:84%
that a beautiful
bouquet of flowers

00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:52.610 align:middle line:84%
lures the girlfriend butterfly
inside an open train door

00:00:52.610 --> 00:00:54.440 align:middle line:84%
just as the door
closes and takes off,

00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:58.040 align:middle line:90%
girlfriend trapped inside.

00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:00.770 align:middle line:84%
The other way that
the story continues

00:01:00.770 --> 00:01:04.430 align:middle line:84%
is that the girlfriend, having
grown sick of her boyfriend's

00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:06.980 align:middle line:84%
arrogant ways, has
already decided

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.380 align:middle line:84%
that she has had enough of
him and that she'd rather

00:01:09.380 --> 00:01:11.720 align:middle line:84%
start a new life
for herself wherever

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:15.390 align:middle line:90%
the train may take her.

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:18.060 align:middle line:84%
In either case, if she goes
inside the train traveling

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:20.010 align:middle line:84%
the bullet train at
bullet train speeds.

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:21.870 align:middle line:84%
The boy butterfly
chases after the bullet

00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:24.390 align:middle line:84%
train with his specially
developed high speed flying

00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:26.070 align:middle line:90%
technique, as only he could do.

00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:29.040 align:middle line:84%
Any other butterfly would have
given up before even starting,

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.990 align:middle line:84%
but this butterfly
has confidence.

00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:34.020 align:middle line:84%
And more than that, he has
love, his true and undying love

00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:35.640 align:middle line:90%
for his one and only sweetheart.

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.890 align:middle line:84%
He chases after the train
and gives it everything

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:39.450 align:middle line:90%
he's got and then some.

00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:42.510 align:middle line:84%
Unfortunately, the train does
not stop for a long, long time.

00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:44.610 align:middle line:84%
If it is the case that
the girlfriend intended

00:01:44.610 --> 00:01:47.042 align:middle line:84%
to leave him, we are
probably slightly relieved

00:01:47.042 --> 00:01:48.750 align:middle line:84%
to know that he will
never know the truth

00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:51.090 align:middle line:84%
as he continues his
chase after the train,

00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:54.780 align:middle line:84%
flying faster than any
butterfly has ever flown before.

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:58.680 align:middle line:84%
If only the Olympic
judges could time him now.

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.530 align:middle line:84%
As testament to his
true and undying love,

00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:04.230 align:middle line:84%
the butterfly flies after
the train for as far

00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:06.330 align:middle line:90%
as he can for as long as he can.

00:02:06.330 --> 00:02:09.930 align:middle line:84%
The definition of this is that
by the time he finally stops,

00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:12.360 align:middle line:84%
he's on the very brink
of butterfly death.

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.180 align:middle line:84%
He can no longer fly and
fades to the ground, landing

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.570 align:middle line:84%
beside a delicate flower
which he does not see

00:02:18.570 --> 00:02:20.550 align:middle line:90%
through the tears in his eyes.

00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.820 align:middle line:84%
He shakes his tightly clenched
butterfly fists at the sky

00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:25.965 align:middle line:84%
before exhaling his
very last breath.

00:02:25.965 --> 00:02:28.500 align:middle line:90%


00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:30.420 align:middle line:84%
On the other side
of the train tracks,

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:32.400 align:middle line:90%
a man is being interviewed.

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.360 align:middle line:90%
So what are your hobbies?

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.760 align:middle line:90%
I like to give blood.

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.440 align:middle line:90%
You don't say?

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:40.995 align:middle line:84%
Yes, I've done it
106 times so far.

00:02:40.995 --> 00:02:41.495 align:middle line:90%
