Takaki Tōno and Risa Mizuno board a train, on which Takaki explains that he has used unfair excuses to avoid her, and he wants to take her to visit Iwafune in Tochigi Prefecture. As the train is too noisy, Risa decides to continue their conversation by phone message. Takaki explains to Risa that he feels at a dead-end in his life but he has never told other people of his feelings. He reveals that he was scared by the ways Risa was pushing him, to which Risa apologizes and says she is also bad at expressing her feelings.

Takaki tells Risa that there were many people who told him that "I don't know what you're thinking" and "don't be so nice to me". Ever since he moved to Tanegashima, he has always lived with the flow and tried to treat people well. Takaki recalls that he hold this self-imposed discipline ever since he made a promise to a certain person that he would become a better person when they meet again.

At that time, they arrive at Oyama Station to transfer to another train. Takaki tells Risa that he visited that place when he was young and how heavy snow delayed his trains. As a person runs in front of him, Takaki is reminiscent of the way he ran in the station many years ago. They then board another train to continue their trip.

On the train, Takaki admits that he has failed to become a better and liked person, even though he used to has some sincere and serious feelings. When Risa asks what those feelings were, Takaki says that even though he does not believe that he would meet his lover again nor that she is still waiting for him, he marrying or visiting Iwafune with someone else is so unthinkable to him, much to Risa's shock. At that moment, the train arrives at Iwafune Station.

When the train stops, Risa encourages Takaki to face his problems there. But as she leaves the train, Takaki remains inside and is suddenly overwhelmed by his old memories of Akari, thus, leaves Risa behind when the train departs. Abandoned, Risa wanders the town alone and sends a voice message to Takaki. Bursting into tears, Risa admits that she still does not understand Takaki and apologizes for driving him to the corner so much. On the departing train, Takaki suddenly comes to his senses and returns to Iwafune while unsuccessfully calling Risa. As night falls, Takaki runs around the town but is unable to find or call Risa.

Kanae's Feelings

"**Kanae's Feelings**" (カナエの気持ち, *Kanae no kimochi*) is the fourth chapter of the manga adaptation of *5 Centimeters per Second*.

## Summary

Kanae Sumida surfs but she cannot hold it steady for long and keeps sinking. After that, she goes ashore and packs up while talking to her old sister.

Kanae rides a bike to school. She secretly watches Takaki Tōno practicing archery, but he calls her and they greet each other. Takaki gently praises Kanae for her hardworking at surfing, which makes her blush. After saying goodbye, Kanae runs to her class in happiness.

In her class, Kanae listens to a teacher telling them to fill a questionnaire. In the break time, she and her friends talk about it, and they tease her about Takaki. As she goes out to buy a drink, she looks at a photo of a rocket launch and she thinks it would be nice to watch it with Takaki.

Kanae sits quietly on the beach. Her sister approaches and asks about her training, which she answers in disappointment. The sister offers to give her a ride home, but she refuses. Kane stands behind a wall at the parking lots and waits for Takaki. He arrives and suggests that they go home together.

On the way, Kanae recalls how she met and fell in love with him at first sight in the 2nd year of the junior school. She studied really hard to go to the same high school as him. In Grade 10, they met again as they joined the committee of the culture festival. They befriended and she has always followed him since then.

Takaki and Kanae stop at a convenience store to buy some drinks, but she cannot decide which to buy. Once done, she notices that Takaki is texting someone outside, and she wishes it is for her, but she feels sad that she doesn't even know his email. As they use their drink together, Kanae cannot help but feel enamored with his voice. When Kanae and Takaki arrive at her home, she is welcomed by her dog Cub and then they say goodbye.

At school, Kanae and her friends from above watch Takaki and Sasaki talking to each other. They wonder if she is his girlfriend. When they come to ask the girl, Sasaki calmly denies that and reveals that her boyfriend is her cram school's teacher. She also tells them that she once asked him if he had a girlfriend, but he didn't answer. Sasaki comments that Takaki is very mysterious and he is kind to everyone equally. Kanae is upset with their conversation and thinks she herself is so stupid as she wallows in sadness.

She decides to punish herself by not waiting for Takaki after class. At home, Kanae talks to Cub about how she once secretly took a look at Takaki's house. She recalls how her hopeless longing for Takaki has been with her for 5 years.

After practicing, Kanae goes ashore but she is surprised to see Takaki standing on the road above, so she slips and falls on the grasses. The sister comes and talks to him. She reveals that she also surfed, which is why Kanae started surfing. Before he leaves, he wishes her good luck. Kanae suddenly wants to practice more and skips her lunch. Kanae determines to be able to stand on the waves, but once again she gets engulfed by them.
