Masato: Irritation is an indispensable part of a student taking exams!! Page 76 Masato: Generally, you know, at times like this, you may ask where is the home of the student taking exams...it's with all the members of his family, worrying, caring, supporting him, right!! But when it comes to our stupid father, flying around foreign countries, doesn't even make one call. Even though it is the important time when his son's future is influenced...what is he thinking, dammit!! Miyuki: Even if it's influenced, it's just being discovered. Here. Ahhh. Thanks to that kind of father, since he's coming and going for the present time,....you and I we can live together. Page 77 Masato: At least sending money is the parent's duty. Miyuki: He sent me to be with you, right. Dad, you know, wanted to be with me. For the sake of his own son, he is being patient. For the sake of his own son, he can be patient. TV: K.

Masato: An, anyway, let's wait until tomorrow... It could be somebody else....it's was just a "K", so we aren't sure. There are a lot ot Wakamatsu's.... Miyuki: It it was in Japan, that may be true, but...it's the Philippines, it's Zamboanga!! Masato: Well, calm down. Miyuki: Onii-chan, the vacuum cleaner. Masato: Oh. Besides, maybe.... Even if...survival is seen as hopeless...their deaths are not confirmed... Page 82 Masato: Besides...TV is not always restricted to reporting the truth... Besides... What are we going to do..... Page 83 Masato: Miyuki, go to sleep. If I find out anything, I'll wake you up quickly. Miyuki: What are we going to do, Onii-chan... Masato: Miyuki.... Don't worry. If it comes to a crucial moment, I'll quit school and work... I'll feed you at least. Page 84 Masato: You'll properly go to a university, find a job, get married, Until you have happiness...until then...I'll work with all my might. Miyuki: If you do that, you'll destroy your body....

For what reason am I going to a university? Muraki: Huh? Masato: And, if I quit the university, what will I do? Muraki: Huh? Page 89 Masato: -At least last night I could see a definite path... -it was resolution, determination, something to live for... Page 90 Masato: -That would be..... eh? Together? Miyuki K.: Yeah. Masato: Why? You could go to any famous school--- There would not be anything worthy for you in any place that you go with me. Miyuki K.: You'll be there.
