Thank you for coming. Namura: I'm awfully happy. But... 2 Namura: I can't very well take you with me. Namura: Go home. 3 --------------------------------------------------- p 157 1 Meiko: Why...? 2 Namura: Your parents will come to take you back right away. 3 Meiko: Even if they come, I won't go back. A home like that! Please let me stay beside you...! Namura: That's no good. 4 Namura: Knowing that I'll make you miserable... I can't take you with me! 5 --------------------------------------------------- p 158 1 Namura: I don't have the ability right now to support you as well from now on. Supporting myself is about all I can do. Namura: When I return home to Hiroshima, I have to adjust and learn real estate from the start. I don't even know whether or not I can succeed in a new environment. I won't have any time to spare to be concerned with you. Even if I take you with me, I'll only make you miserable. 2 3 Namura: You're young and beautiful, and smart, too. You possess the potential to be anything you want. Namura: Instead of a life where you're just staying at my side. 4 Namura: Please find the path that will allow you to reach your potential... Meiko: NO!! --------------------------------------------------- p 159 1 Meiko: Without you, sensei... Meiko: I can't be happy...! 2 3 Namura: Meiko, please understand. Meiko: No! Namura: Meiko. Meiko: I don't understand! I don't! 4 Namura: Meiko!! 5 Meiko FX: --------------------------------------------------- p 160 1 2 Meiko: I can't wait for you, either? Meiko: You won't tell me that you'll come for me someday...? 3 Namura: We shouldn't tie each other down with promises like that. 4 --------------------------------------------------- p 161 1 Namura: I won't ask you to forgive me. Namura: Hate me... And forget about me. 2 Namura: Farewell. 3 --------------------------------------------------- p 162 1 Meiko: WAIT...! 2 Meiko: WAIT, SENSEI! 3 Meiko: Sen... --------------------------------------------------- p 163 1 2 3 ===Sidebar=== FREE TALK (8): 7/21 (Wed.) On the Furano Express to Furano. We get a tour by taxi of several of Furano's sightseeing spots. The flowers that were blooming everywhere and the flower gardens of Tomita Farm were also very beautiful, but the path within the garden en route from Tomita Farm ---> Rokunori (?) Forest was wonderful because of the awfully fine view. <*Kanji combination is the same kanji for = foot-of-a-mountain plus the kanji meaning = lord/state-minister.> I want to go again next year... I want to go to Biei, too! 7/22 (Thu.) After we ate crab for lunch, we went to "Sapporo's Fine Arts Forest." The outdoor art gallery was a lot of fun! A sculpture called "Let's Turn into Chairs and Rest." ---> Yazawa Ai posed in the same way, stuck at the tail end, and had her picture taken like that (^_^). And then we returned to Tokyo on a 5:55 flight. It was fun. --------------------------------------------------- p 164 1 Miki: 2 Miki: Is-- Is this the right platform?

The "regent-style" hairdo is the hairdo of choice for high school punks in Japan.
