Godzilla Minus One - The Struggle for Survival After War
Noriko Ōishi:
Listen to me. Everyone who survived the war is meant to live.
Kōichi Shikishima:
How do you know?!?
Noriko Ōishi:
I just do! As flames took my parents, they ordered me to live. So whatever happens next, I know I must survive! That's kept me going.
Kōichi Shikishima: [becoming distraught]
I can't. They beckon to me in my dreams every night. "Hurry and come", they say. "Why are you still cheating death?
Noriko Ōishi:
It's just a dream. Ghosts you created.
Kōichi Shikishima: [breaks down]
Maybe it's an illusion. What if I'm really dead already? I died long ago on that island and lie rotting. You and Akiko are just the last dream of a dead man. That must be it! It has to be!
Noriko Ōishi: [embracing Shikishima; softly]
You are alive! You are alive, Koichi. Can't you feel it?

Make them happy!

Enough! I don't want that.
