7 years ago this masterpiece was made and for 7 years Rin waited for a message to be sent to her. Edit: 7 likes when I checked my comment, I'll be damned
I'm a single father of a 5 year old daughter and she loved this. So I tried explaining it to her and just started flowing out of my eyes I couldn't even get through what I was trying to say. Needless to say this is nothing short of a masterpiece.
My 5 year old would cry if I explained it to her. She hates when I go to work even so explaining she is all alone in this clip would make her ball her eyes out. She sobbed at the end of monsters inc haha
I am Japanese. I'm a high school student studying music. I'm sorry for my poor English. I just got to know you for the first time. Thank you for understanding the beauty of Japanese and using it a lot. I think your work should be evaluated not only as music but also as a video work from all over the world. I was very impressed. We will support your activities in the future.
I showed this to my sister (who was then 15 years old) when it came out. She spent the next quarter of an hour bawling her eyes out. Now, four years later, I've asked her if she remembered that as a little funny memory and she said, "bro I still think of that video like twice a week." So thanks. I've emotionally damaged my sister for life with a music video.
Now think of her not having books, it wouldnt be that lonely if her dad recorded all books and put them in the systems but he didnt. Also remember her iq is pretty low. But its still sad because everything is gone :(((
Sameeee, the way the storytelling is means that porter and his team over at A1 loved this project and loves Rin as a character (because Rin is the irl name of A1 pictures CEO (I think) daughter) you can tell they were really passionate about this masterpiece
Pinaglalaruan ko lagi yung feelings ng nanliligaw sakin at nakakatuwa naman minsan para sakin pero di ko alam pano sabihin sa kanya na may nahanap na akong iba na mas guwapo at mas mayaman pa kesa sakanya
Happy 8th Anniversary, Rin. Your story continues to move us and encourage us to move forward. And thank you to everyone reading this for not forgetting about Rin and coming to visit her. She is not alone because of you. Also, if it interests you, I'm the author of presumably the only Shelter fanfiction still in progress (please tell me if there is another). It's called Shelter: Heart of Promise and it continues Rin's story laid out by the animation, guided by careful examination and research of the original story. I have been working on it for 6 years and have reached 159 chapters, with plenty more still on the way. With that said, it's a very long read, so I've decided to summarize the story into a single paragraph in case you wanted to know what the story was about without needing to read the whole thing. Rin's vessel was eventually discovered and picked up by an individual known as Director Kaeru, who was formerly Shigeru's apprentice. She is taken back to Niyoake, the civilization on a distant planet where the Japanese people fled to long before the disaster of Earth. Within this civilization, a majority of the citizens live in a simulation almost identical to Rin's Shelter, referred to as The World. Being the author of both simulations, Shigeru sabotaged The World so that the coding could not be changed, before being left on Earth. Having witnessed Rin's capability to "create", Director Kaeru feared that Rin would be taken and forced to do the government's bidding should she or her authorization to manipulate The World's coding be discovered. He does his best to hide her from the Emperor's subordinate's ever searching eyes and give Rin a chance to live a normal life. Rin, on the other hand, yearns for the distant horizon and wants to learn the truth about her past and her father and carve out her own destiny. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

I just currently watched this and it’s amazing but time does fly by so fast, it’s scary that the next 5 years of my life can dictate my entire life. I’m extremely worried now, hope these next few years of my life just don’t pass by so quickly because I desperately need them.
I'm a single child of a single mom. She died recently. I can't begin to describe how this video feels so much like my situation. Knowing how much she did for me through my life, how much she gave just to make me happy. Being in the home we spent so much time together in, surrounded by the decorations and furniture she liked. The things she put up when I was a small child. The way she organized my books or games. Going downstairs where grandma used to read and watch TV in her room, inviting me to come in. The way to the kitchen where her workstation sits collecting dust, where she spent so much time grading and looking after her students. The garage where that stupid cherry red chair sits, the place she used to enjoy having her morning-afternoon coffee and a brief smoke that I simply can't find myself to move now. Now it's so peacefully quiet, lights that used to be on at night are off. The quiet din of a TV no longer buzzing at night. That small fake-Christmas tree we got standing quietly in the corner, a marker of our last Holiday together. She built an entire home for me, gave me so many endlessly great Birthdays. Brought together so many of my friends every year. Some days I don't think of it, I just work or play quietly. But others I remember every wonderful moment, and for all the tears it brings I can't help but feel loved. Thank you, Mom.
wish u luck boy and remember,life is a journey and eventually it comes to end sooner or later but the people we meet,the friends we make and the things we feel are eternal and what make us unique, and as long as u keep that feelings u will never be alone. Ty for sharing ur story man im sure many people will remember and get related to it in some way as u made us live another unique moment reading it.
@@JJokerMoreau your mom was always proud at you even now that you've survived life without her, she will be even more prouder if you could reach your dreams and hers even though shes not here anymore. just remember that she is always up there watching and supporting you fight the struggles that you may experience in life, and happiness that you may encounter throughout your journey.
Seeing this video in 2024.....i remember watching this for the first time in the REACT channel i think around 2017-2018, it was on repeat at that time, but now 7-8 years later, i watched it again at it suddenly hit me with the nostalgia from those days that i dont have to worry about anything and just life my life to the fullest, and now that im in my early 20s and have a responsibility, now i just realized that i should cherished those times a lot more than i should❤
If Porter Robinson would make a a go fund me or simply make a petition to make an anime based on this beautiful short film, I bet there would be 10's of thousands of people willing to sign it.
"To Rin From : Dad There was just so little time left after you were born. I don't know how much love I managed to pour into raising you after your mother died... But your smile kept me going. I would like to have come with you, but I couldn't. I wanted you to forget everything and move on... I knew you'd be alright. But you'll get lonely, and remember. I know you'll grow strong, and read this letter some day. I really wish we could have spent more time together. I'm sorry. You were so young back then, too young to understand what they meant. So let me repeat... My final words to you." and now im still crying.....
@@Sophie-ip1rw hey About this video this is how I interpreted it I think this is some post apocalyptic event Where her dad make a time capsule or a machine to save her daughter Giving her SHELTER from the disaster that supposed to happen on earth Leaving her on a dream or an alternative world inside her mind Which she patiently waits for a message from her father Well the point or lesson of the story is “A father’s Love “ And “To keep moving forward “
This song hits harder this days, isolated and alone.. lonely and locked down.. missing the old past but dangerous illness hits you.. missing the days when you can be yourself out there enjoying life
@@desiliatj1499 yo hold on mate, not saying yo shouldn't express yourself, but its only been what? 9-10 months, its not like we're in quarantine for 3-4 years, and we're almost done because the vaccine in what? Estimation 8-9 months for the world to fully recover, remember this girl is technically in quarantine for 10 years, she had the worst than us, Your lucky you still had friends and healthy, I got COVID early this month, and im still recovering, and i has been bullied this past middle school, im 9th grade, i've been bullied from 7th grade, but everything when haywire when i had no friends left in 8th grade, your lucky, i dont have anything left, only family and some online friends.
I remember 8 years ago, when a school friend told me "i know a song u will like". And he was right, this is my favourite song, the song that makes my soul shine when i look at the sky and will continue playing until the day i leave this world 💙
The more I watch this video over the years, the more I'm starting to feel like I'd rather die on earth than live alone for the rest of my life in a simulation.. Maybe I just changed in the past few years.
I don't think a life is worth living alone. One of the best things in life is making friends and spending time with people you love. Honestly idk how Rin can survive that long in the simulation without becoming insane.
For those who didn't understand, she got send to outer space right before some planet or star make an impact with earth, her father sent her there with some equipment that make her fall into some sort of coma and into virtual reality that let's her make anything she wants, and one day when she's doing the same thing as always, a swing appears outta nowhere and she didn't put that there, as she touches it she remember something, as time passes some illustration showed up and she got sent to when she's still a kid and get to know the truth behind all these things she can do, and then she receives a mail from her father, I can translate it but not really good, since I'm no Japanese,it says: I don't really have enough time since you're borned, I dont know how much love I can give you after your mother passed away, but your lively smile makes me feel encouraged To be honest I really wanted to go with you, but I can't, I'm sending you off without your memory, if it's you I'm sure it's ok, when you're starting to feel lonely I'm sure you will remember it I believe you can be strong and read this letter, it will be nice if I can write more about my thoughts, I'm sorry.When you're small I don't think you can understand it very well but if it's now I'm sure you can do it The word that you don't understand that day After Rin read the mail she fall to tears knowing what her father has done for her, and we get to see where Rin is at, the outer space after earth is destroyed A truly amazing story, the only one story that manage to get me this close to tear By the way, English and Japanese is not my main language, so the translation might seem odd
Bro I’ve watched this for the first time in 2020 and I had completely forgotten about it, but suddenly a random day I just remembered this but I struggled to find it lol
This song spoke so loud to me, I lost my older brother to suicide 3 years ago, he was studying to become an astrophysicist and loved to stargaze with me, Even tho in this video the man symbolises her father, I could only see my brother on it, he was the best, taught me everything I know today and gave me the best memories I could have had, I miss him, but this song taught me something, "It's a long way forward, trust in me, I'll give them shelter like you've done for me."
For anyone who was wondering the message she received reads: “From: Dad From when you were born, there wasn’t much time left, I don’t how much love I was able to give you since your mother was gone, seeing you lively always kept me going :) I really wanted to go together with you.But that wasn’t possible. I wanted you to forget and move on... but you will acknowledge your loneliness, and start to remember. You will become strong and read this letter. I wish we could make more memories together. I’m sorry. You were too young, and didn’t understand. So I will say again my last words to you.”
I always thought this song was a metaphor about boredom and loneliness. The brightest people tend to be the most secluded people; they can build amazing worlds in their mind but they have no one to share them with, making all of their worlds worthless to them. They just keep repeating the process until they're bored out of their wits and don't care anymore.
The brightest people share their amazing worlds with other bright people and make the real world a better place for not so bright people and themselves.
That's a definition of who I am! I'm glad you've commented words with such realism, and sensibility! Do know this, you're comment brings me excitement, and for that, I thank you
Rin's dad is a fucking legend, he made an entire virtual world and a rocket just to save his daughter from imminent death! That's a father love right there
Its technically selfish, his daughter is now all alone in space. The chances she may found inhabitable planet, or finding any sentient being is low. At the end she will die alone.
@SCP- 999 I used to always act cold to my Father and ignore him when he told me he loves me. Now I could not appreciate anything in the World more than all the times he told me he loves me. Those words will forever stay with me. Trust me, even if they act cold to you or get annoyed when you tell them you love them. They will remember it in the future, and appreciate it a lot more than they ever could in the present.
@Jing Tseng Why do you assume that I still have a Father? And also I think I made very very clear that I did appreciated him more than anything else. I don't see why you would send this to me of all People.
it will probably give me 11 episodes of slides of life stuff and then reveal everything in this video in the last episode to make me sad and question my choices
This is the one song in my playlist I'm simply unable to keep in the background. Whenever this pops, my work is paused while I watch the whole thing and cry
Koffee Krisp It’s massive in the electronic music world, but not in the mainstream. It’s not at the popularity level of Taylor Swift or Kanye West songs. Prob what the guy was referring to.
Her first message was 2539 days ago which is around 6.9 years so when the tablet finally shows her past it said 2578 A little over 7 years. So her father programmed the tablet to explain and show her exactly what happened when she turned 14 years old along with his heartfelt message… I cried a lot
Rin never returned to Earth. She became trapped in her virtual world and floated forever through space and though she wished for a message that was unable to happen, so eventually she stopped thinking... Props to the guys that get this reference
I hear this song a few years ago but i never know where is from but today, idk why i become face tô face with the anime shelter and i hear the opening song and my linda blow
I've heard this song before but never seen the video. A month ago I decided to watch it on an anime website thinking it was gonna be a 12 eps anime lol. I was disappointed knowing it was only 5min.. and NOT AN ANIME.. :(
I was in highschool when this came out, now it's almost christmas and I'm a 4th yr college student watching this nostalgic piece of masterpiece again. How I miss those times.
translation of the letter: "To Rin From : Dad There was only a bit of time left after you were born. I don't know how much love I have poured into raising you after your mother died... But your smile kept me going. (^_^) I'd like to have come with you, but I couldn't. I wanted you to forget everything and move on... I knew you'd be ok. But you'll get lonely, and remember. I know you'll grow strong, and read this letter one day. I really wish we spent more time together. I'm sorry. You were so young back then, too young to understand what it meant. So let me repeat... My final words to you." the final words were her monologue at the end. ••• The chorus is in the girls pov, the dad's were everything else. dad: "I could never find the right way to tell you. Have you noticed I've been gone? Cuz I left behind the home you made me But I will carry it along" Rin: "and its a long way forward So trust in me I'll give them shelter like you've done for me And I know I'm not Alone You'll be watching over us Until You're gone." us: the girl and her bear dad: "When I'm older I know that I'll be silent beside you And the words won't be enough. And you will need to know it inside our faces And it will carry on for us" Rin: "And it's a long way forward So trust in me I'll give them shelter like you've done for me And I know I'm not alone You'll be watching over us Until You're gone. " this is my interpretation of it.
also, the chorus is in the girls pov, the dad's were everything else. dad: "I could never find the right way to tell you. Have you noticed I've been gone?

" this is my interpretation of it.
By the time you hear this, our home will be gone, me included “Rin, I love you. I know you are just a little girl, but you will have to be alone for a while. I have made a world that will keep you alive and entertained until someone can wake you up. This is for your own good, sweetheart. I only ask that you remember me.” Dad
wow. i watched this video 100 times when it came out and i just finally came back to it after having a daughter, not realizing what an emotional rollercoaster i just got on.
Man this song randomly creeped out from my memories literally around that date and I had forgotten the name of it, but remembered the video. It was really weird how I was subconsciously remembering it after not hearing it for years. After looking up "Anime girl in Box" and finding/listening to it again, I got overwhelmed by it and cried again. I somehow forgot about this beautiful video, but it stayed with me regardless.
oh my, lady i hope you're doing well, and please try to keep it up, think in how beautiful the life is, i had lost precious people too, so you're not alone, i really hope you're better now ^^,

The fact that the comment section is still active proves the video is a master piece

the feeling still hit the same as before
Same....
same
The breakdown that I watched about this music video helped a lot with my young brain😂i was like 10-11😭
Sucks knowing that it’ll never be your first time watching this again.
It's ok. My 112th time is even more impactful than my first time watching it.
But it'll never be the last time
It just watched it for the first time and I am honestly speechless..
Yeh I watched this so many times and I kinda moved on.
don't clal me out like that
she's been sleeping in that spaceship for about 7 years... now it's almost 13 years dang...
dammit this is sad

She's now 21, kinda depressing.

you think making people cry is cool
Brandon In I don't mean to
Haha I was thinking “thanks for making me tear up again”
Yeah i cant cry
I cant cry help ._.
7 years ago this masterpiece was made and for 7 years Rin waited for a message to be sent to her. Edit: 7 likes when I checked my comment, I'll be damned
And she's still waiting, don't loose your hope little Rin ;-;
i visited the song after soo long and this says edited 7 days ago loool
now 8 years
To make you feel better I recommend a song called 777 by rough sketch
Why is there so many people commenting recently? Did everyone go back to this song all of a sudden? Like me?
Considering this is the first time I’ve seen this song since upwards of 5+ years ago and I’m 17 now, I’d say yes
a lot of people came here bcs they just heard of it and have time others remembered this song and came back
Yes, we are many.
I just found this not even a month ago
Yeah I've seen this when i was 12, I'm 16 now
I'm a single father of a 5 year old daughter and she loved this. So I tried explaining it to her and just started flowing out of my eyes I couldn't even get through what I was trying to say. Needless to say this is nothing short of a masterpiece.
@star ships I don't I let her watch this because I found nothing wrong with it at all.
My 5 year old would cry if I explained it to her. She hates when I go to work even so explaining she is all alone in this clip would make her ball her eyes out.
She sobbed at the end of monsters inc haha
The replies are so, wholesome
@star ships What's wrong about LGBTQ?
Elvis - it seems to hit doubly hard when you have a young daughter hey :')
I am Japanese. I'm a high school student studying music. I'm sorry for my poor English. I just got to know you for the first time. Thank you for understanding the beauty of Japanese and using it a lot. I think your work should be evaluated not only as music but also as a video work from all over the world. I was very impressed.

@@Mega_The_Friendly_Shark we can't blame them (I'm Filipino)
Returned here 7 years after the song's release, since in the video she went 7 years without a message.
I showed this to my sister (who was then 15 years old) when it came out. She spent the next quarter of an hour bawling her eyes out. Now, four years later, I've asked her if she remembered that as a little funny memory and she said, "bro I still think of that video like twice a week." So thanks. I've emotionally damaged my sister for life with a music video.

Mehh... NGE
@Grace 95 Lmao shut the fuck up NO
2023.
and I'm still sad, because of this
Now think of her not having books, it wouldnt be that lonely if her dad recorded all books and put them in the systems but he didnt. Also remember her iq is pretty low. But its still sad because everything is gone :(((
Same, came back after a few years just to cry again with the beautiful video
@@fernandoiturbide9109 I feel.
Same
same ;-;
No matter how many times I watch this, it hits me all the time ;'(
Zen - Kun same
its like a connection to the people who are watching this then *boom* your sad
like what the heck just happened😁😂😂😀😂😂
@Zen - Kun I was 2 years late!!!! :(
*Next Level No Again Many This Watch*
me too :(
We are almost 2025… still crying from this
I think the same, it still makes me feel sobbing
La Chica saber donde se dirigia nunca lo sabremos 😢😢
same😢
It's the high school nostalgia for me. A good friend and I used to discuss this song vigorously when it just came out. Good times🥲
Damn 4 years later and I’m still crying at this video........
Sameeee, the way the storytelling is means that porter and his team over at A1 loved this project and loves Rin as a character (because Rin is the irl name of A1 pictures CEO (I think) daughter) you can tell they were really passionate about this masterpiece
Ah, me too
Y
Crying like a Bitch.. sniff sniff
Me Too TT__TT
I get a little rush of nostalgia whenever this plays in my playlist now.
Lol
Ako rin
Me too kapatid
For real
Pinaglalaruan ko lagi yung feelings ng nanliligaw sakin at nakakatuwa naman minsan para sakin pero di ko alam pano sabihin sa kanya na may nahanap na akong iba na mas guwapo at mas mayaman pa kesa sakanya
3:23 when her tablet showed she had no messages in 2578 days, that made me realise she has been alone for 7 years ):
yep
sounds like me
She's been in quarentine sence she whas 10
Yep :( sooo sad :((((((
7 years and 23 days, to be precise. Considering her two ages in the video probably close to half her lifetime.
Happy 8th Anniversary, Rin. Your story continues to move us and encourage us to move forward. And thank you to everyone reading this for not forgetting about Rin and coming to visit her. She is not alone because of you.
Also, if it interests you, I'm the author of presumably the only Shelter fanfiction still in progress (please tell me if there is another). It's called Shelter: Heart of Promise and it continues Rin's story laid out by the animation, guided by careful examination and research of the original story. I have been working on it for 6 years and have reached 159 chapters, with plenty more still on the way. With that said, it's a very long read, so I've decided to summarize the story into a single paragraph in case you wanted to know what the story was about without needing to read the whole thing.
Rin's vessel was eventually discovered and picked up by an individual known as Director Kaeru, who was formerly Shigeru's apprentice. She is taken back to Niyoake, the civilization on a distant planet where the Japanese people fled to long before the disaster of Earth. Within this civilization, a majority of the citizens live in a simulation almost identical to Rin's Shelter, referred to as The World. Being the author of both simulations, Shigeru sabotaged The World so that the coding could not be changed, before being left on Earth. Having witnessed Rin's capability to "create", Director Kaeru feared that Rin would be taken and forced to do the government's bidding should she or her authorization to manipulate The World's coding be discovered. He does his best to hide her from the Emperor's subordinate's ever searching eyes and give Rin a chance to live a normal life. Rin, on the other hand, yearns for the distant horizon and wants to learn the truth about her past and her father and carve out her own destiny.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

It's been 4 years but I'm still in love with this song.

I can't say I like the song that much but I love the video so, so much.
The 4 year anniversary is approaching everyone...
I hope you haven’t forgotten.
Forgotten? this vedio has it's own playlist an my laptop and phone I don't plan on forgetting it anytime soon
I panicked thinking i missed it lol
Wow
Yeah no im here
Tanks other monika
4 years and we’ve all aged.
Hope life is doing wonders for all of you.⭐️
time flies so fast
It's so weird to think that I first watched this when I was 11. And it can STILL make me cry
@@dawrushesin I saw this video when i was 12 and it currently makes me feel sad :')
I just currently watched this and it’s amazing but time does fly by so fast, it’s scary that the next 5 years of my life can dictate my entire life. I’m extremely worried now, hope these next few years of my life just don’t pass by so quickly because I desperately need them.
Yeah I’m doing fine, and so are my family and friends :)
Thank you❤️
こんにちはーー日本人でーーす
この曲良すぎてもうすごくハマりました
lol same
I'm a single child of a single mom. She died recently. I can't begin to describe how this video feels so much like my situation. Knowing how much she did for me through my life, how much she gave just to make me happy. Being in the home we spent so much time together in, surrounded by the decorations and furniture she liked. The things she put up when I was a small child. The way she organized my books or games. Going downstairs where grandma used to read and watch TV in her room, inviting me to come in. The way to the kitchen where her workstation sits collecting dust, where she spent so much time grading and looking after her students. The garage where that stupid cherry red chair sits, the place she used to enjoy having her morning-afternoon coffee and a brief smoke that I simply can't find myself to move now. Now it's so peacefully quiet, lights that used to be on at night are off. The quiet din of a TV no longer buzzing at night. That small fake-Christmas tree we got standing quietly in the corner, a marker of our last Holiday together. She built an entire home for me, gave me so many endlessly great Birthdays. Brought together so many of my friends every year. Some days I don't think of it, I just work or play quietly. But others I remember every wonderful moment, and for all the tears it brings I can't help but feel loved. Thank you, Mom.
wish u luck boy and remember,life is a journey and eventually it comes to end sooner or later but the people we meet,the friends we make and the things we feel are eternal and what make us unique, and as long as u keep that feelings u will never be alone. Ty for sharing ur story man im sure many people will remember and get related to it in some way as u made us live another unique moment reading it.

Seeing this video in 2024.....i remember watching this for the first time in the REACT channel i think around 2017-2018, it was on repeat at that time, but now 7-8 years later, i watched it again at it suddenly hit me with the nostalgia from those days that i dont have to worry about anything and just life my life to the fullest, and now that im in my early 20s and have a responsibility, now i just realized that i should cherished those times a lot more than i should❤
I’m in my mid 20’s I saw this video when it came out 😢😢 I want to go back
At this point watching this is like an anime with no season 2.

HI I FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL YOU'RE AWESOME
The more I watch this video over the years, the more I'm starting to feel like I'd rather die on earth than live alone for the rest of my life in a simulation.. Maybe I just changed in the past few years.
It's called growing up
@@lollol-vg8dk what
@@yoshiwav he said he changed in the past few years and growing up can change you bcz of your experiences
I don't think a life is worth living alone. One of the best things in life is making friends and spending time with people you love. Honestly idk how Rin can survive that long in the simulation without becoming insane.
Same. I rather die young surrounded by friends than live forever alone
For those who didn't understand, she got send to outer space right before some planet or star make an impact with earth, her father sent her there with some equipment that make her fall into some sort of coma and into virtual reality that let's her make anything she wants, and one day when she's doing the same thing as always, a swing appears outta nowhere and she didn't put that there, as she touches it she remember something, as time passes some illustration showed up and she got sent to when she's still a kid and get to know the truth behind all these things she can do, and then she receives a mail from her father, I can translate it but not really good, since I'm no Japanese,it says:
I don't really have enough time since you're borned, I dont know how much love I can give you after your mother passed away, but your lively smile makes me feel encouraged
To be honest I really wanted to go with you, but I can't, I'm sending you off without your memory, if it's you I'm sure it's ok, when you're starting to feel lonely I'm sure you will remember it
I believe you can be strong and read this letter, it will be nice if I can write more about my thoughts, I'm sorry.When you're small I don't think you can understand it very well but if it's now I'm sure you can do it
The word that you don't understand that day
After Rin read the mail she fall to tears knowing what her father has done for her, and we get to see where Rin is at, the outer space after earth is destroyed

This song spoke so loud to me, I lost my older brother to suicide 3 years ago, he was studying to become an astrophysicist and loved to stargaze with me, Even tho in this video the man symbolises her father, I could only see my brother on it, he was the best, taught me everything I know today and gave me the best memories I could have had, I miss him, but this song taught me something, "It's a long way forward, trust in me, I'll give them shelter like you've done for me."
Sorry for your loss.

For anyone who was wondering the message she received reads:
“From: Dad
From when you were born, there wasn’t much time left,
I don’t how much love I was able to give you since your mother was gone, seeing you lively always kept me going :)
I really wanted to go together with you.But that wasn’t possible.
I wanted you to forget and move on... but you will acknowledge your loneliness, and start to remember.
You will become strong and read this letter.
I wish we could make more memories together. I’m sorry.
You were too young, and didn’t understand.
So I will say again my last words to you.”
Thanks
Thanks
Thank you
honto ni arigato !
Thanks I’m now drowning in an indescribable amount of emptiness
I always thought this song was a metaphor about boredom and loneliness. The brightest people tend to be the most secluded people; they can build amazing worlds in their mind but they have no one to share them with, making all of their worlds worthless to them. They just keep repeating the process until they're bored out of their wits and don't care anymore.
That's an awesome interpretation
The brightest people share their amazing worlds with other bright people and make the real world a better place for not so bright people and themselves.
Mimzy that's literally me..
Great comment made my day!
That's a definition of who I am! I'm glad you've commented words with such realism, and sensibility! Do know this, you're comment brings me excitement, and for that, I thank you
Rin's dad is a fucking legend, he made an entire virtual world and a rocket just to save his daughter from imminent death! That's a father love right there
@Xdo3 Rj There are a lot of similar comments lol.
But..
Is she in eternal slumber?
Thanks for saying what 300 other people in the comments already have 😂
Its technically selfish, his daughter is now all alone in space. The chances she may found inhabitable planet, or finding any sentient being is low. At the end she will die alone.

Remember to tell your parents and children you love them because you never know when it'll be the last time you see them
Don't need to tell them every day. In my chase they know very well.

@SCP- 999 I used to always act cold to my Father and ignore him when he told me he loves me. Now I could not appreciate anything in the World more than all the times he told me he loves me. Those words will forever stay with me.
Trust me, even if they act cold to you or get annoyed when you tell them you love them. They will remember it in the future, and appreciate it a lot more than they ever could in the present.
@Jing Tseng Why do you assume that I still have a Father? And also I think I made very very clear that I did appreciated him more than anything else.
