This is the last 2 days of Ash in the village.
Ash cries heavily. He thinks all the things he does in the village with the children and  villagers. Ash can't sleep and can't wait to to the day he waiting for.

At the cliff:

"Whenever I’m with you, I’m different, but in a good way. I smile and laugh more, and I don’t have to pretend that everything is okay. With you, I can drop the façade and just feel and express everything genuinely. I no longer feel hurt and alone and instead, I feel safe and loved. You’re so easy to talk to, to open up to. And in turn, everything you say resonates with me like no other. You have showed me that in this world filled with apathy, there is one person who can love me for who I really am. I really appreciate you being here because with you, I’m different. With you, I’m happy." Said  by Chief Nikko.

Ash: What we have together is unique. It is a special bond that is strong and unbreakable. We can make it through anything we encounter and we only grow stronger from the trials we face together.

Chief Nikko: This is the night you are waiting for. Did you know that if you can count thousands of stars? You can wish anything and your wish will be come true.

Ash: Really can we try it? Can you help me to count the stars?   I will be the first and you’re the next and alternate

They count a thousand of stars. The dream of Ms. Penny  is now achieved with the help of Ash.

Chief Nikko:  We are already done on counting the stars, we can wish now.

Ash: I wish was every one can still accept me.   He said it quietly.

Chief Nikko:  I promise you to  the stars that I forever care for you. I give you my word that I will move mountains for you if need be. I will keep you out of harm’s way. I will be anything you need at any given time. No matter what you ask of me, I will do it, because you are the love of my life. You are my everything.

They stares to each other.

Chief Nikko tries to ask Ash about the diary of Penny in Ash house.

This is the time that Ash will tell the truth.

Ash: I under goes to a heart transplant before I get in here. I was having a heart disease. And my parents find the donor but I didn’t know who’s the donor is. I just wake up with this heart after being transplanted. I ask my parents about the heart behind it. But they never tell me. And there is someone occurs on my dreams and I search about her. She is Ms. Penny.  I found her aunt and he gave me that diary, because I tell her that I am one of the best friends of Penny. I decided to be a volunteer here to give back the kindness of Penny and to continue the last dream of her which is to count a  stars with you.

Chief Nikko:  All this time you lie on us?  We accept you as our family but you destroy our trust on you.

Ash:  I just want to give back the kindness of to Ms.  Penny doing this. I dedicate all of this effort to her. Ash cries heavily.

Chief Nikko left Ash at the cliff.

Chief Nikko realize  that the feelings he have toward Ash is for Penny. And the feelings of  Ash to Nikko is the desire of the previous owner of the heart.

On the next day.

The villagers knew about this thing. But they looked up for the help of Ash to them.

Chief Nikko:  You may not be here by my side, but I always have you in my heart. I dream about your touch, your scent, you smile…everything about you! I just couldn’t wait to have you back again in my arms.

Ash: I love you in a place where there’s no space or time. My love for you knows no bounds. I can only tell you that my soul will love you forever.

This is the last day of Ash in the village. When he was on his way the villagers give respect to him and saying thank you.  This situation makes Ash to cry, so that it was hard thing for Ash  to said goodbye.

Love doesn’t come fully formed. It is a seed that grows. Even when times are hard, don’t curse the dark and keep your candle burning.
