Stay alive...
I love you…
"Major!!!"
…
Waking up from a dream.
The originally bright picture now became extremely dim.
The woman named Violet Evergarden once again clutched her bed sheet.
She thought of the major again.
Thinking of the person who said 'I love you' to her.
But now she already knows the truth.
That person is dead.
Although it cannot be confirmed, not finding a body on the battlefield is almost the same as death.
Because there is a high probability that this means that the opponent's body has been completely lost in the war.
This is a common occurrence.
During the war, those who were able to preserve their bodies and have them sent back to their hometowns could be considered lucky in another sense.
Although they are dead, at least they can return to their roots, be commemorated by others, and have a grave and tombstone of their own.
But those whose bodies were scattered all over the place, or even without any trace at all.
After they died, even their names could not be found.
No one would know their names except their relatives and surviving comrades.
That's what the major is like.
He is gone.
Although there is no body, it is equivalent to death.
More importantly, Violet was deceived by Hawkins because of this incident.
He lied to himself that the major was not dead.
It's not a lie, but it is outright deception.
Violet learned the truth and became extremely emotional.
This puppet is becoming more and more like a human.
She was so full of emotion.
After learning about human emotions, family affection, loneliness, and part of the meaning of love, she has already developed her own emotions.
This made her strangely angry.
The scene changed.
At this time, Violet was actually shouting at Hawkins.
She was in so much pain and so angry.
The panic and anxiety in his eyes were so obvious, so pitiful.
But it is also progress.
At the cost of deception, Violet gained a new level of growth.
She finally understood how it felt as a human being, and she understood the origin of this emotion.
That was the Major's death.
However, this incident allowed her to take a big step forward in her relationship.
But it also plunged her into the abyss.
The Major is everything to her and her spiritual support.
Without the Major, she would abandon her self-recognition and even her life.
So she tried to strangle herself with these mechanical arms more than once.
But her brain's self-protection mechanism prevented her from doing it.
Even suicide is so difficult.
Without orders, Violet couldn't even commit suicide.
She cried.
This time I cried from the bottom of my heart.
The scene flashes back again and again.
She temporarily left the post office, the job she loved, and the tedious tasks.
He even went to the major's house and saw the grave and the major's brother.
The other party's attitude was still cold, but there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
After all, my younger brother is gone, so as an older brother, it is naturally hard to accept.
But his pride prevented him from saying anything to Violet, let alone admitting that she was a normal person.
Although he felt sorry for Violet, he still treated her as a war machine.
After all, the two sides hadn't met each other since then, so he had no idea about Violet's changes.
Even Violet herself believes that she is not a tool, but a person who lives up to her name.
But she didn't know how to explain it, and she didn't know what to say to the major's brother.
Therefore, in the picture, when the two meet, there will be almost no good scenes.
During these few days, Violet was in complete agony.
Even though it was raining heavily, she tried to find the Major.
Even if there was only a skeleton, she wanted to find the other person with her own eyes.
But the final result is nothing.
Violet could only helplessly clutch the gem on her chest, shedding tears of pain.
But slowly.
The images disappeared one after another.
Violet's hands, which were tightly gripping the bed sheet, slowly loosened.
She looked at the puppy and at the rising sun outside.
For no reason, Violet felt that she should go out for a walk.
This is her own idea and has nothing to do with others.
So Violet ate her breakfast, put on her dress, took her suitcase, and walked past the crowd to the mural.
She walked into the crowd step by step, as if she wanted to blend into the environment, but she seemed out of place.
Because most of the people around me are in pairs, and there are even families of three.
The elderly have their children to keep them company, the young have their partners to keep them company, and even the staff are chatting animatedly with their colleagues.
They chatted while they worked.
This era is slow, there is no involution, and even the guests are very patient.
Unconsciously.
Violet walked through several streets, saw the lives of different people, and saw flowers blooming.
Even if no one appreciates it, you must be beautiful alone.
At this moment, Violet made a thought that was completely unique to her.
She has to go back to work!
Regardless of whether the major is dead or not, she will continue to deliver the letters.
Because it represents someone's longing or love.
This transmission cannot disappear.
If Violet can't find happiness herself, then let others find their own happiness!
Without hesitation, Violet arrived at the door of the post office and walked in.
The staff in the post office were surprised when they saw Violet come in.
Because they hadn't seen this doll-like delicate girl for a long time.
She jogged all the way, passing everyone and went straight to the president's office.
Hawkins is still processing the documents.
He was also surprised when he saw Violet appear.
And Hawkins looked very haggard, obviously having been worried about Violet for many days.
Now seeing her reappear, Hawkins, the old father, can finally put his mind at ease.
Violet suddenly stepped forward, her tone and expression sounding somewhat agitated.
This was also a rare occasion for her to express her emotions in front of other people.
However, she has expressed her emotions many times in front of Hawkins.
This shows that Violet really trusts the other person.
Even though Hawkins deceived her, she still chose to believe it.
"The president is right. I'm already covered in burns!"
"Is it really okay? Is it really okay for me to continue to be an Auto-Memory Doll?"
"Is it really okay for me to live?"
Violet's inner emotions were almost fully revealed.
And she spoke out what was in her heart.
Although she wanted to continue working, she also needed recognition.
Because she didn't know if she could do it.
Violet has nothing left, so she doesn't know if she can go on.
This was the answer she wanted to know most.
Hawkins was already in tears at this moment.
He knew that although Violet had not completely gotten over it, she had learned to open her heart.
Otherwise she wouldn't come here and ask herself such questions.
"What has been done cannot be erased..."
"But… "
"Your work as an Auto-Memory Doll will not disappear."
"Violet Evergarden!"
The scene flashes back.
The perspective shifts from the gaze between the old father and Violet to a somewhat old letter.
This is an ordinary envelope.
But precisely because it is so ordinary, it also shows that Violet is actually just an ordinary girl.
But the war took away everything from the ordinary girl.
The past will not be erased, and the future will continue to come.
It’s okay to cling to the past, as memories cannot disappear, but one cannot be bound by the past.
Time will always flow, the future will not stop and wait, and people cannot stagnate.
At this moment the scene changed.
The lens is bleak.
The wind is silent.
This is a courtyard, a very ordinary courtyard.
Violet is doing some ghostwriting.
The client was speaking with a laugh, but gradually, she began to cry.
A little girl saw her mother crying. She felt puzzled, but she was also very worried as she saw her mother's health getting worse day by day.
But in order not to make her mother worry, she pretended that she knew nothing and continued to act innocent, hoping to make her mother happy.
But the arrival of the doll made her think her mother was taken away.
What was taken away was not the person, but the mother's time.
She knew her mother was sick and that the disease was incurable.
Although the child is young, she knows everything.
But Violet's arrival made the child feel that his mother no longer had time to accompany him.
This made her feel bad about Violet.
It wasn't hostility, just a child's temper.
However, Violet's delicate face, special temperament, and unique iron hands made the children think she was a real doll.
So when in front of her, he seemed a little unscrupulous.
After all, there is nothing taboo about talking to a doll.
So she also plans to let the puppet play puppets.
The picture flashed by.
My mother’s critical illness made this mission full of urgency.
The child was even more angry with his mother and Violet because of this incident.
But they are just children, so just coax them into submission.
And she wasn't really angry, she just wanted to know why her mother wasn't with her.
Although time is running out, I still have to write a letter.
"If I'm the only one left in the future, don't write to me anymore, just spend some time with me!"
"Stay with me, Mom!"
The child cried out this sentence.
She knew everything, so she spoke directly from her heart.
The maid and her mother beside them all broke down in tears.
Violet’s expression flickered.
She didn't cry because she had to remain elegant, as it was an industry requirement.
But she already had her own emotions in her heart, so she could empathize.
This is a child who wants his mother to spend more time with him.
There is not much time left, but I still have to write unimportant letters.
It's right in front of you, but you're still wasting your time.
The children don’t understand.
The mother couldn't explain it.
Because this matter is her responsibility, and the person she wants to write to is very important to her.
In the sunset, outside the courtyard.
Violet held the child in her arms and let him cry.
She needed to vent because she didn't understand her mother, and even less did she understand Violet.
But she was well-educated and at least would not take her anger out on others, so when she had vented her anger, all that was left was sadness and anxiety.
The sun sets slowly.
Then the scene changed and it was already the time when the sun was rising.
Violet's mission is accomplished.
She is going back.
The task this time is very heavy, almost a week or even half a month's work for other puppets.
The scene turns to Violet getting in the car.
She left the compound.
Time passes slowly.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change.
A narration voice sounded, it was the mother's voice.
The girl has grown up too.
She looked at the letters she received and couldn't stop crying.
Because at this time, her mother had passed away.
She is the only one at home.
But what she received was indeed a birthday gift from her mother.
“Happy 8th birthday, Annie.
Although many sad things have happened and many efforts have been in vain, don't give up.
Sometimes you may feel lonely and sometimes you may cry, but don’t forget that Mom will always love Annie.”
"Annie, happy tenth birthday. I guess you have grown a lot taller and bigger. Do you still like studying and dancing
No more guessing games and bug catching, huh?"
"Happy 18th birthday, you are already an outstanding lady, do you have someone you like
Although I can't give you advice on love, the person you choose must be outstanding. "
“Happy birthday Annie, you’ve lived twenty years of life, that’s amazing.
When you grow up, you can occasionally say some discouraging words.
Even if you feel uneasy, I am still here.
Annie.
I will always, always protect you..."
"Happy birthday, Annie..."
Time is passing.
But letters transcend time and convey the love of the deceased to their children.
This is love that transcends time.
Even though Yin and Yang are separated, there will be no obstacles, wind or rain.
And this love has been conveyed for fifty years.
An ordinary mother, when she was critically ill, used her last moments to express all her love for the next fifty years in these fifty emails.
When it’s Anne’s birthday, that’s the day love is delivered.
This is mother's love. Even when she grows up, it is still so full and without any impurities.
Love that transcends time, emails that seal time.
This is something that cannot be replaced by any other behavior.
The picture at this moment shows Anne holding her child and living happily with her husband.
Immediately the screen flashed.
As if it was a photograph, the photo of the two was preserved, then turned into an envelope and gradually floated into the air.
Slowly.
The letter landed at C.H. Postal Service.
The first thing Violet did after she came back was to cry bitterly.
There, she had to be patient and had to remain graceful.
Because she knew the truth, but for the sake of confidentiality, she couldn't say anything, let alone tell Anne.
This caused her emotions to accumulate, and after returning to the company, she could no longer hold it in.
Even other people in the company were very moved when they heard this story.
And what makes the old father feel more at ease is.
Violet's feelings are becoming more and more like those of an ordinary girl.
