Appa, are you headed out?
Yeah, the weather’s nice. I’d like to take a walk.
Have you had breakfast?
Just tea. I’ll eat when I’m back.
I don’t want to miss the
first morning of autumn.
Okay, be back soon. Chichi wants to draw with you.

One step, two step… closer to the park.
One step, two step… closer to the park.
One step, two step… closer to the park.
Ah, autumn is here. Knew it when I needed my coat to step out.
Oh hey there!
are you following me?
Huh… didn’t know I had these....
...Must’ve forgotten.
It was a park just like this. Only had one friend. Played till our feet gave out.
Can’t do that anymore, not with this walking stick.
Ah yes—park. Sorry to keep you waiting, Kit.
Let’s get going now
Now, where… where were we going, Kit?
One step, two step… closer to the park.
One step, two step… closer to the park.
One step, two step… closer to the park.
Have you ever played stapu, Kit?
I used to be real good at it, you know. Wish I could play again…I’d need someone to play with....
Beautiful morning, isn’t it?
But a memory is a pricey thing to long for… and my pockets, it seems, are running empty.
I hope I remember someday…
what her name was, or her face.
Yeah… I was just talking to her, reminiscing. Autumn does that to an old man.
I could try. My memory is going before I do. But I’d like to have kept hers… before Im gone
Ah, tell me about it.
an old friend?
Ah, I’m honored.
She seems to like you. That’s rare.
Yeah… my only friend growing up. She got transferred one day. I lost contact. I wonder if she’s reminded of me too.
I’m very sure she is.
Maybe remembering isn't as important as never forgetting how you felt…
and your love for her is all you need.
Say,What would you do if she were here with you?
—all the fresh fallen autumn leaves?
How about we play that… together?
Easy—we’d run around this park jumping to step on-
Yeah… how’d you—
I’d be honored.
