Autumn Waltz
Oh!
Finally!
I've been looking for you
all day long.
I was looking for you.
All right!
Got it.
Well, well. Gloomy as usual.
Uh-huh. You're in a bad mood again.
Why don't you look at that lovely sun?
It's setting.
And the leaves? Look at those leaves!
They're falling off.
How beautifully the birds fly!
But they're flying away.
You know what, I'll cheer you up anyway.
No, it's impossible.
What sort of attitude is that?
You can make anyone lose their patience!
You do realize that we won't see each other again
until winter's over?
The whole long winter!
And you can't even
smile
as we part?
Really, now!
I've had it. Enough. That's it! Goodbye.
It's impossible.
Impossible! Goodbye!
That really hurts!
Oh, my God!
I can't even help you get home.
Ah! What can I do?
Does it hurt?
Ah, it hurts!
How can I help you? How?
I can't.
There's nothing I can do.
Nothing!
You... go ahead.
You still need
to get home in time.
And I'm gonna stay here.
I'll have a lie down
and... then go.
How it hurts!
No, it's impossible!
What sort of attitude is that?
You're almost healthy now.
You're going to be fine.
Understand?
You'll be home soon.
Just bear with me a little longer.
Just a bit more.
Oh, please!
Everything's going to be okay.
Say, would you like it
if I
cheered you up?
Now, everything...
everything's okay.
Now you can
go.
And I'll remain here
until spring.
There's no way I can
get home now.
We're already awake but she's still sleeping.
She's always like that. Always wanting to sleep longer.
The End
