Can anyone explain the last 10 minutes of the film. The timeline gets really hazy to me after the airport scene when he looks over and she's gone. In the next scene we see her getting into a car and going to the hotel with him following. Is this a flashback to their initial meeting or has she decided to stay in HIroshima for a bit?

And for hazy movie, the ending where she calls him Hiroshima makes it pretty clear that she is leaving. It would be pretty strange to call someone Tex if you are in Texas, for example.
