As they walk down the alley, a number of globular shadows appear out of the walls and begin to rush towards them. He then offers to escort Sophie wherever she needs to go and tells her not to be alarmed, but he's being followed. With a quick gesture, he forces the soldiers into a straight stance and sends them marching down the alley. She then backs up into a handsome young man who drapes his arm around her, claiming to have been looking for her. Sophie explains that her sister is waiting for her, but the soldiers refuse to let her leave. As she appears to look for a particular address, she bumps into a couple of soldiers who begin to flirt with her. She takes a trolley downtown and decides to cut through an alleyway since a parade of soldiers is moving down the main street. Sophie finishes her hat and exits the store alone. The girls joke about whether they will be preyed upon as they leave. The so-called 'castle', as the girls call it, belongs to a reclusive wizard named Howl (English: Christian Bale Japanese: Takuya Kimura) who is reputed to steal the hearts of beautiful young women. Sophie looks and sees the metallic object vanishing in the far off hills. Some of her coworkers chatter excitedly and point outside. Her boss enters and tells her the store is closing before inviting her out. In a nearby city, young Sophie (English: Emily Mortimer Japanese: Chieko Baishô) sits at her window sewing adornments on a hat. Over a quaint area of land, shrouded by fog, a lone herder guides his sheep to pasture as a gigantic, metallic structure moves on four spindly legs into the highlands where the cloud cover quickly consumes it.
