:21:02
Don't be offended though.
:21:04
She's my child to the core?
Willful and a bit crazy.
:21:09
She criticizes or teases anyone
she happens to like.
:21:15
But don't hold any false hopes concerning her.
:21:20
It's a constant worry having grown-up daughters.
:21:25
Know about Kayama?
:21:27
No. What about him?
:21:30
He has high hopes about Ayako, too.
:21:34
He regained her trust by using that money.
:21:39
He gave it back to that woman.
I established his credit.
:21:45
Be that as it may...
:21:47
Oh, yes, I think I'd better warn him, too.
:21:54
Take care.
:21:57
By the way, you'd better not visit him.
:22:01
Especially on a fine day.
:22:04
Understand?
:22:07
Naturally.
:22:09
Ayako forbade me to visit him
even before you mentioned it.
:22:14
What? When?
:22:16
I got her answer while in Tokyo.
:22:20
That messenger boy?
:22:22
What messenger boy?
:22:24
Never mind. What did she write?
:22:34
"There is no hope.
:22:40
"I have no wish to ever see you again."
:22:45
It may mean there is hope and she wants to see you.
:22:52
I'll find out how she feels now.
