chapter 12: Crimson Hill

[NOTE: The most important thing that goes missing in the localization is that when Takuya talks about going home, he's not talking about his house, but the "hometown" that's been appearing in his and Sayuri's dreams.]

夕日に溶け込む人影が こちらに向かっている。 人影はうつむきながら 何事かつぶやいている 井上タクヤだった。

西条…ぼく…帰れないんだ……。

/A figure headed towards Atsuki, melting into the setting sun. It was Inoue Takuya. He was looking down and mumbling about something./

[TAKUYA:] Saijou... I... I can't go home.

帰りたくても帰れないんだ。 どうすればいい？

[TAKUYA:] I want to, but I can't. What should I do?

My head is a mess. I don't know what's going on...

ぼくは夢の中で、帰るべき場所と 仲間たちと出会った。

[TAKUYA:] I don't even know if this is reality or just another dream.

In my dreams, I found my friends and the place I'm supposed to go home to.

[TAKUYA:] The place where my mind is at peace and I can be myself. It was so vivid and real. My most treasured memory...

I realized how cheap all my other memories in life have been.

The first mention of the Yokoyama clan was in an account of the disastrous rice harvest of 1121 CE, a year when widespread flooding led to mass starvation in the Komorebigan lowlands. Wakiya Yokoyama, a regional administrator and tax collector, was executed for his small role in a plot to conceal the full extent of the flood damage from imperial agents. His disgrace did not prevent his nephew, a mathematician and poet, from ascending the ranks of the imperial bureaucracy. From that singular toehold in officialdom, the Yokoyama clan had flourished, enduring for generations as minor functionaries and loyal retainers, recurring bit players in the grand opera of imperial history. Takuya Yokoyama had intended to tread the path established by his forefathers: eleven years of schooling in the imperial academy, thirty years of civil service, a long retirement in which to enjoy his grandchildren. His daughter, Hakane, little Mary, had other plans. Hard-headed and independent from birth, she had been floundering and rebellious throughout her school years, sullen and willful on her wedding day, and irrepressibly scandalous thereafter. In a few short decades, she had come very close to completing the project that had been begun by conspiratorial Wakiya centuries earlier. Her selfishness, her imperiousness, her proclivity toward half-truths and extreme measures had very nearly ruined the family name and mired the entire clan in a state of permanent and irreversible disgrace. She was his only child. And god help him, he loved her anyway.

Mary's parents' house

TAKUYA | ...so, is it an official appearance? You'll be attending the premiere with the Crown Princess as her acknowledged girlfriend? MARY | Uh...sort of? MARY | Rosalind is attending because of her work on the documentary, not as a representative of the crown. So it's not an official appearance, just another opportunity to generate positive press for us as a couple. TAKUYA | Oh. I see. MARY | ...do you think it's a misstep? Too much, too son? TAKUYA | [ sighs ] No, it's not that. MARY | Then what? TAKUYA | It's not my place to ask, but...have been honest with her? About your past? MARY | [ annoyed ] I have. She knows all about my marriage. TAKUYA | Does she know about your...your relationship with Miss Inoue? MARY | ... TAKUYA | [ sighs ] Hakane, you must tell her. TAKUYA | [ offscreen ] There can be no secrets between you. You've weathered one media storm, but marrying her will bring even more scrutiny. Anything you keep from her will be found out and used against you. TAKUYA | If you love her- MARY | I do. You know I do. TAKUYA | -you must tell her everything. Hold nothing back. MARY | I want to be honest with her, but...how can I? I'm not proud of who I used to be. I don't want her to see me that way. TAKUYA | She knows who you are. And that matters more than who you were. MARY | [ forcing a smile ] I hope you're right, dad. TAKUYA | You make me proud, Hakane. You always have. MARY | [ softly ] Thanks, Dad.

Gas on the run – ALMA spots the shadow of a molecular outflow from a quasar when the Universe was less than one billion years old

Theoretical predictions have been confirmed with the discovery of an outflow of molecular gas from a quasar when the Universe was less than a billion years old.

A quasar is a compact region powered by a supermassive black hole located in the center of a massive galaxy. They are extremely luminous, with a point-like appearance similar to stars, and are extremely distant from Earth. Owing to their distance and brightness, they provide a peek into conditions of the early Universe, when it was less than 1 billion years old.

A team of researchers led by Assistant Professor Dragan Salak at Hokkaido University, Assistant Professor Takuya Hashimoto at the University of Tsukuba, and Professor Akio Inoue at Waseda University, has discovered the first evidence of suppression of star formation driven by an outflow of molecular gas in a quasar-host galaxy in the early Universe. Their findings, based on observations they made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in Chile, were published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Molecular gas is vital to the formation of stars. As the primary fuel of star formation, the ubiquity and high concentrations of molecular gas within a galaxy would lead to a vast number of stars being formed. By ejecting this gas into intergalactic space faster than it could be consumed by star formation, molecular outflows effectively suppress the formation of stars in galaxies that host quasars.

“Theoretical work suggests that molecular gas outflows play an important role in the formation and evolution of galaxies from an early age, because they can regulate star formation,” Salak explains. “Quasars are especially energetic sources, so we expected that they may be able to generate powerful outflows.”

The quasar the researchers observed, J2054-0005, has a very high redshift—it and the Earth are apparently moving away from each other very fast. “J2054-0005 is one of the brightest quasars in the distant Universe, so we decided to target this object as an excellent candidate to study powerful outflows,” Hashimoto says. The researchers used ALMA to observe the outflow of molecular gas from the quasar. As the only telescope in the world that has the sensitivity and frequency coverage to detect molecular gas outflows in the early Universe, ALMA was key to this study.

Speaking about the method used in the study, Salak comments: “The outflowing molecular (OH) gas was discovered in absorption. This means we did not observe microwave radiation coming directly from the OH molecules; instead, we observed the radiation coming from the bright quasar—and absorption means that OH molecules happened to absorb a part of the radiation from the quasar. So, it was like revealing the presence of a gas by seeing the ‘shadow’ it cast in front of the light source.”

The findings from this study are the first strong evidence that powerful molecular gas outflows from quasar-host galaxies exist and impact galaxy evolution at the early cosmic age. “Molecular gas is a very important constituent of galaxies because it is the fuel for star formation,” Salak concludes. “Our findings show that quasars are capable of suppressing star formation in their host galaxies by ejecting molecular gas into intergalactic space.”

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of the European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA is funded by ESO on behalf of its Member States, by NSF in cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in Taiwan and by NINS in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI).

ALMA construction and operations are led by ESO on behalf of its Member States; by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), managed by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI), on behalf of North America; and by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) on behalf of East Asia. The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) provides the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA.

LOWER IMAGE....The molecular gas outflow from the quasar includes hydroxyl (OH) (top). Due to the motion of the molecular gas toward the observer, the OH peak in the absorption spectrum (bottom, dashed blue line) appears at a shorter wavelength (solid blue line), a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect.
