Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

For viewers immersed in the world of Clannad, they simply don't care about the commercial disputes outside.

After experiencing the heartwarming and tearful baptism of the Fuuko arc.

They had completely fallen in love with the town and with these clumsy yet kind people.

They began to understand that the healing Su Bai spoke of might have a deeper meaning.

It's not about making you forget the pain, but about giving you the courage to embrace life even after experiencing sorrow.

With this new understanding, the audience followed in Tomoya's footsteps, continuing the daily life of Hikarizaka High School.

The story's focus shifts from the art room to another quiet corner.

library.

Here lives a girl who seems to live in another dimension.

Kotomi Ichinose.

The genius girl in the PV who plays a magical violin.

She was a true legend at school, consistently holding the top spot in her grade, yet almost no one had ever seen her in class.

She spends all her time in the library.

She would sit in the corner, quietly reading one book after another.

It seems like they want to cram all the knowledge in the world into their heads.

She's a bit naive and doesn't understand social niceties; she'll take her friends' jokes seriously and then look confused.

She is also a great cook, but her only hobby is cutting out the parts she likes from books she borrows from the library.

When Okazaki Tomoya skips class, he always makes a habit of going to this quiet place.

He would sit opposite Kotomi, doing nothing but watching her serious profile as she read.

There was a strange tacit understanding between the two; they didn't feel awkward even when they didn't say a word.

It seems that Tomoya has known this girl for a very long time.

But the specific memories are like a thick fog, impossible to recall.

Thanks to Nagisa's kindness, Kotomi was gradually drawn into this small circle.

Everyone celebrated her birthday together in the library, and listened to her play that violin that could be described as a weapon of mass destruction.

At Kotomi's invitation, the group entered her home where she lived alone for the first time.

It was a very beautiful villa, but because no one took care of it, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and looked somewhat desolate.

It was here that an accident revealed the deepest scar in the heart of this genius girl.

A passing bus suddenly had a tire blowout, making a loud noise.

Kotomi, who was smiling and greeting everyone just a moment ago, turned deathly pale the instant she heard the loud noise.

She dropped the utensils in her hand, covered her head with her hands, squatted on the ground, her body trembling violently, and let out a scream of extreme fear.

"don't want!"

"Dad, Mom."

This sudden collapse caught everyone off guard.

It wasn't until a neighbor, an auntie, heard the commotion and rushed over that she revealed that long-buried story.

Kotomi's parents are world-renowned top scholars.

When Kotomi was very young, they boarded a plane to attend an important academic conference.

Then, the plane crashed, and there were no survivors.

On the day the devastating news arrived, young Kotomi was unable to accept the fact and locked herself in the study.

In her extreme grief, she believed that one of her father's colleagues was a villain who had come to steal her father's important thesis.

So she used a lighter to set fire to the thesis that she believed to be her father's life's work.

From then on, Kotomi completely shut herself off.

She reads voraciously because she wants to carry on her parents' legacy.

She dared not see any more words about the accident, because it would remind her of that desperate afternoon.

The thesis she burned became a sin she could never forgive herself for.

When the truth was revealed, everyone fell silent.

Tomoya and Nagisa looked at Kotomi, who was curled up in the corner, and felt a pang of pity.

"Let's do something for her."

"Nagisa said, her eyes red."

Thus began a major project to restore the courtyard.

Tomoya, Nagisa, Sunohara, and even Fujibayashi Kyou and Muku were conscripted.

They weeded and planted flowers together, hoping to bring this desolate courtyard back to life.

As Tomoya repairs the garden, his memories gradually become clearer.

He remembered.

In my long childhood.

He once met a little girl who loved to cry in this courtyard.

He accompanied her in reading and playing with her.

He was Kotomi's only friend during her childhood.

On Kotomi's birthday, he had promised her that he would give her a violin as a birthday present.

However, before he could fulfill his promise, he moved due to his parents' conflict and completely lost contact with them.

In the instant his memories returned, Tomoya finally understood where his inexplicable familiarity with Kotomi came from.

He took action immediately.

He found the colleague of Kotomi's parents from back then, who is now an old professor with white hair.

From the old professor, Tomoya learned another truth.

Before boarding the plane, Kotomi's parents prepared a birthday gift for her.

It was a huge suitcase, and they asked their colleague to personally deliver it to Kotomi on her birthday.

However, after the plane crash, this belated gift has been sealed away in the school's warehouse.

On Kotomi's birthday.

When she looked at the newly renovated courtyard filled with sunflowers, she was so moved that she couldn't speak.

Tomoya appeared before her, carrying the enormous suitcase that held boundless love.

Kotomi trembled as she opened the suitcase.

It didn't contain any valuable research data.

There was only one ordinary, giant teddy bear doll.

There was a letter pressed under the doll.

The letter's handwriting was gentle and familiar.

"To our most beloved daughter, Kotomi."

"When you read this letter, you'll be another year older. Happy birthday."

"We are about to embark on a very, very long journey, and we may go to many, many places. But please don't be afraid, because no matter where we are, our hearts will always be with you."

"We have left you the greatest gift in the world, and that is you. You are the most outstanding thesis of our lives, the best treasure we offer to the world."

"Please, you must live happily and with a smile."

"You will always love me, Dad and Mom."

The letter was soaked with tears.

Kotomi hugged the giant teddy bear, buried her face in it, and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

In those cries, there was longing, there was grievance, but even more so, there was relief.

......

In the office of Healing Animation, Shen Qingyue silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

This time, she felt no fear of the knife.

There is only one kind of warm and touching feeling, enveloped by pure family affection.

She glanced at Su Bai beside her. He was still calmly looking at the screen, but there seemed to be a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

Perhaps, he really has changed.

For the first time, such a thought crossed Shen Qingyue's mind.

Online, viewers were already in tears.

[Waaaaah, that old scoundrel Su, another family-based betrayal! I can't take it anymore!]

A parent's love is forever the greatest treasure in the world.

This is true healing! Using love to soothe the pain!

Clannad's reputation reached a new peak after the Kotomi arc ended.

Just then, an inconspicuous update appeared on the official website of Healing Animation.

A new explanation has been added to the Clannad world setting section.

The Legend of Guangyu

An ancient legend is told in this small town.

When a person brings immense happiness to others and performs a great act of kindness, they may receive a radiant gem symbolizing a miracle.

Legend has it that if you collect enough luminous orbs, you can have one wish granted.
