Kyoko, did mother still have her summer sash? I'd like it for a keepsake. Is that alright with you? And that linen kimono she used to wear in summer? I want that too. You know where it is? Can you get it out?
I brought some cakes for them. Have one. They're good.
Shige
They don't need such expensive cakes.
Good, eh?
Shige
Good, but too expensive. Crackers would have been good enough for them.
But they had crackers yesterday.
Shige
Mama, you've grown taller.
Tomi
Don't be silly. How could I have grown?
Shige
But you have, and you're even fatter. [turns to Noriko] She was so big when I was little that I used to feel ashamed in front of my friends. Once in school, a chair broke under her.
Tomi
Oh, that chair was already broken.
Shige
She still thinks that.
Tomi
You were so nice to us, children. Now that we've seen you all, you need not come down, even if anything should happen to either one of us.
Shige
Don't talk like that. This isn't a farewell.
Tomi
I mean it. We live too far away.
We can't leave them there all night.
Shige
It can't be helped, can it?
Let's have Kiyo come down and we'll put them upstairs.
Shige
They're too drunk to make it.
What will we do, then?
Shige
What a mess. You sleep upstairs. I'll put them here. [She starts laying out bedrolls] What a bother. Why didn't he tell me he was coming back? So late and so drunk! I hate drunkards. With a stranger, too. Oh, this is disturbing.
