:44:02
O-Shin!
:44:07
I didn't have time to send word,
and I have to leave right away...
:44:12
but I wanted to share my good news.
:44:15
Come in.
:44:38
Summer's here.
:44:47
I picked this by the river.
:44:51
A sprig of deutzia buds.
:44:53
Just like in The Soga Brothers.
:44:57
"A flower once bloomed
will hold to the vine, while a bud will fall."
:45:02
Here.
:45:12
My father's forgiven me.
:45:17
Isn't that wonderful, O-Shin?
:45:18
I wanted to tell you all right away.
:45:23
- Let's have some sake!
- Yes.
:45:25
I'm afraid I can't.
:45:27
I have a wedding to attend.
:45:32
Whose?
:45:34
Mine, of course.
:45:36
Her father's a counselor.
:45:39
We were betrothed two years ago,
when she was 15.
:45:44
She's grown up
into a beautiful young woman.
:45:48
I thought my trouble had ended it,
but I guess not.
:45:52
I'm as surprised as anyone.
The family ceremony's tonight.
