A poignant number characterized by quiet beauty. This song was conceived when Chihiro, as a high school student attending a school festival, was playing a role of a girl dying of illness. She sings straightforward about death:
"If I were to disappear from your sight
Would you call my name and search for me?
If you couldn't leave me even after my body finally crumbles to decay
Would you wail for me again and again?"
This is said to be the first song she wrote. She sang an English version of this piece (not released) at the audition she passed.
Note: The above English lyrics are different from what she sang at the audition.
