dear Satsu and Chiyo, as one who was once an
orphan child myself,
:35:29
this humble person is sorry to inform you that six weeks
after you left for your new life in Myoko
:35:36
the suffering
of your honoured mother came to it's end
:35:41
And only a few weeks afterwards your honoured
father departed this world as well.
:35:48
this humble person feels confident that both your
honoured parents have found their places in paradise.
:35:55
At the temple there is a poem called loss
carved into the stone.
:36:05
It has three words, but the poet has scratched
them out.
:36:11
You cannot read loss, only feel it.
:36:16
My father and mother had left this life,
my sister I never heard from again.
:36:25
I had dishonoured the okea so mother had other
plans for me.
:36:34
I would pay back my debt, year after year
after year.
:36:38
Not as a Geisha, as her slave.
:36:56
It is too pretty a day to be so unhappy.
Did you fall down?
