:36:00
That is most disappointing.
:36:04
I had my heart set on Master Omodaka
performing the service.
:36:08
I wonder if I might not beg
his special consideration.
:36:14
Well,
:36:16
he says he's ill,
but he seemed fine yesterday.
:36:20
Surely it can't be anything serious.
:36:25
Messenger!
:36:36
Make all due haste
to Omodaka's residence.
:36:40
Tell him to come immediately,
if his illness permits. Now hurry.
:36:52
I'm putting you
to a great deal of trouble.
:36:54
Please accept my apologies.
:36:58
Now then,
:37:00
do you wish to wait here
:37:03
or would you like
to come inside and relax?
:37:05
No.
:37:07
The comfort of your residence
might cause my resolve to waver.
:37:12
My journey into eternity mustn't grow
distasteful. I shall remain here.
:37:19
You display remarkable discipline.
:37:22
I can but express my admiration.
:37:27
If I may, Counselor,
:37:30
it could be quite tedious for us both
to sit here and wait in silence.
:37:37
To pass the time,
:37:39
perhaps you'll allow me to tell you
a little about myself.
:37:45
About yourself?
:37:49
Yes.
:37:51
The hardscrabble tales of a half-starved
ronin don't amount to much,
:37:55
but what befalls others today
:37:58
may be your own fate tomorrow.
