    Well, I already understood most of that, it just doesn't quite fit with the beginning scene of Hiroki standing back at the abandoned station looking back at Sayuri's running image yelling about a plane. Are they not together anymore? Did she die?

    Did you not see how she faded? That was before he had found her at the hospital in a coma, and before the two of them finished the plane to rescue her. That was a memory of the past. They didn't have any motivation to finish the plane since they all went their separate ways. Thus, they can't meet at their promised place which is beyond the clouds with no vehicle to get there.

    Sorry if that sounded...confusing, I just woke up. Read through it a couple of times and it should make sense.

    But, he looks like an adult in that scene with a suit and a stoic look, not a teenager. It had to have been years after the ending. And the narration for that scene was him saying beyond those clouds lies their promised place, but the tower is nowhere in sight and is already destroyed.

    Believe whatever you want then. I've seen the movie so many times and there is zero indication anywhere that she died.

    Using the beginning as proof she somehow died is unfounded as well. If you're right and it's beyond the end of the film, then Hiroki is reminiscing about the place they were able to connect.

    Yea it doesn't necessarily mean she died, but him reminiscing alone about Sayuri, and not with him somehow gives the impression that she's out of the picture i.e. braindead, dead, they broke up, or she just didn't want to come back to the station.

    Hiroki in the beginning is definitely older than the one that flew Sayuri to the tower in the plane. Also, since Sayuri disappeared he went to Tokyo and drifted through 3 years "all alone in the world." He didn't go back to his hometown until the events in the movie so the timelines don't match.

    Now, I'm not saying Sayuri died but it seems to me like they're not together anymore.
