06:22My mom told me I can get out of the hospital tomorrow.
06:25Please get your eyes better soon.
06:27I'll wait for you.
06:32The pasta at lunch was so bad.
06:34I thought it was okay.
06:35As long as it fills you up.
06:37I'm more worried about the kids' condition.
06:38The doctor said we need to hurry to his office this afternoon.
06:41We can't be late.
06:42I know.
06:43I'm doing my best to get there as fast as I can.
06:51No.
06:54That's impossible.
06:57He's only 17.
06:58He just fell.
07:09The tumor has been growing for at least six months.
07:12The fall only made the symptoms worse.
07:14He probably had headaches and dizzy-o's for a long time, but no one noticed.
07:43Finn, I...
07:44Finn, I...
07:49Maybe two weeks.
07:50We can give you pain medication to keep you comfortable.
07:53Can I be discharged tomorrow?
07:54I want to see the ocean for real.
07:56Not through a window.
07:58I can arrange that.
07:59But you need someone to take care of you.
08:03There's no one.
08:04But I'll be okay.
08:14There.
08:15Five-star hotel.
08:17All yours.
08:25I won't be here much longer.
08:33But Maris will come feed you.
08:36He's kind.
08:37He'll take good care of you.
08:54Finn.
08:59Maris.
09:00I'm leaving tomorrow.
09:03Are you getting better?
09:04Are they letting you go home?
09:05No.
09:06The opposite.
09:07I'm sorry.
09:08Don't be.
09:09I've made peace with it.
09:11But there's one thing I haven't done yet.
09:13I promise to take you to the ocean.
09:16Now.
09:17Now.
09:18I'm afraid I might not have time tomorrow.
09:23I don't know the way.
09:24I'll lead you.
09:25It's not far.
09:27Is the cat coming too?
09:28Yeah.
09:29She's coming.
09:32I can hear it.
09:33It's louder than at the hospital.
09:35It feels like it's all around us.
09:38We're almost there.
09:39There's a little slope down.
09:41Hold on to me tight.
09:42The ground is soft.
09:44That's sand.
09:44We're here.
09:46You're facing the hospital.
09:47The sun sets over here.
09:51There you go.
09:53It's so warm.
09:54Even through my eyelids, I can feel the light.
09:57The sun is touching the water now.
09:59The whole ocean looks like it's on fire.
10:02There are three seagulls standing in the shallows, watching the sunset with us.
10:24I wish I could see this, just once.
10:35What's that?
10:36I brought it so you'd always know where I am, even if you can't see me.
10:44Maris, if something happens to me, don't look for me.
10:47Just remember the sound of the wind chime and the sound of the ocean.
10:50Don't say that.
10:51You're going to be okay.
10:52We'll come back here again.
10:54We'll come back here again.
11:34I'm not sad.
11:35I'm here with you, watching the most beautiful sunset in the world.
11:41That's enough.
11:56Maris, we have amazing news.
11:58We found a perfect match for your cornea transplant.
12:00The success rate is very high.
12:04I don't want it.
12:05Maris, this is the best chance you'll ever get.
12:36Maris, this is the best chance you'll ever get.
12:38No more.
12:39Ever.
12:45No signs of infection.
12:46We'll remove the bandages tomorrow.
12:48How does it feel?
12:49A little itchy, but it doesn't hurt.
12:52That's a good sign.
12:53Get some rest.
12:56Nurse, have you seen Finn lately?
12:58The boy who helped me when I got lost?
13:00He's been busy.
13:01He said he'll come see you once you can see.
13:16Slowly, open your eyes very slowly.
13:18Let the light in little by little.
13:28I see.
13:29I see light.
13:31I see colors.
13:32It's not dark anymore.
13:36Your vision will get clearer over the next two weeks.
13:38You should be able to see normally soon.
13:40You're doing great.
13:41You can go for a walk outside now, but don't stay out too long.
13:47I want to go find Finn.
13:48I want to show him I can see now.
14:08This is Finn's wind chime.
14:10Where is he?
14:18Wait a second.
14:19Where are you taking me?
14:20Excuse me.
14:21Did Finn stay in this room?
14:23Yes.
14:23He was my patient.
14:24Where is he?
14:25I've been looking for him.
14:25I want to tell him the surgery worked.
14:29Maris, Finn passed away two weeks ago.
14:32The night you two went to the ocean.
14:35No.
14:36That's not possible.
14:38He said he'd come see me.
14:51He had a malignant brain tumor.
14:53He knew he didn't have much time.
14:55That's why he took you to the ocean that day.
14:59Here.
15:00He left this for you.
15:02He told me to give it to you when you came looking for him.
15:05His parents took everything else, but he specifically asked me to keep this for you.
15:09When I die, can I donate my Cormias?
15:11I want them to go to Maris, the blind boy who comes here.
15:16Yes.
15:17I'll take care of the paperwork.
15:20I kept my promise.
15:22I took you to the ocean.
15:24Now keep yours.
15:25Go see the ocean for me.
15:27Finn.
15:45He wasn't scared at the end.
15:48He said the sunset he saw with you was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
15:54I know.
15:57I was there.
16:15I see it, Finn.
16:18I see the sun touching the water.
16:20I see the seagulls standing in the hallows.
16:23I see everything you saw.
16:32Thank you for the light, for the ocean, for the sound of the windch limb.
16:40Thanks, everyone.
16:45You're welcome.
