My Rainy Days Page #3

Nothing.

Really?

Happy?

With what?

You know what.

Wrong book.

So! Do you like me!?

Tell me!

''ldiot.''

Ow.

What?

Very sharp. You look great.

Whatever, let's go.

No, really.

Thanks.

Hey.. can I assault you?

No, you can't.

Rats.

What's ''1 4'' mean?

???

Hey... you asleep?

It was seen as a shift to a new

order befitting of modern times.

attack on Odarawa Castle but...

.. anyone in defiance was...

um... namely, Hojo Ujimasa was ordered to,...

...commit harakiri.

Excuse me.

Names get harder to recall at my age.

FujiwaranoKamayatsu

FujiwaranoKamayatsu

You mean ''Kamatari.''

That doesn't exercise the face.

FujiwaranoKamayatsu

Give it a try. It's real effective.

l'll pass.

FujiwaranoKamayatsu

Fu...

What?

What's up, professor?

Quiet.

l can't breathe!

???

No way. You dishonor the Fujiwara founder.

I don't understand but I'm sorry, anyway.

Now what?

My funeral photo.

I read online that one should have one ready.

Save a lot of headache later.

Living is hard, but things don't get any easier

after death.

I know it'll leave you disabled, but it'll lengthen your life.

And that's if it goes well.

I don't want to live to be a burden on people.

Well, I'd rather have my only cousin live.

You can survive without me. You're strong.

That's not the point.

You've changed.

Yeah?

Does she know? The girl you're dating?

lt's not her problem.

Tell me why.

Why won't you say it?

Don't you love me?

Love lives for that, you know.

I'd even accept a halfhearted attempt.

Give it a shot.

I'd like to be alone today.

Well, l love you!

I'm not afraid to say it!

As loud as l can!

ln a long email!

In the look on my face,

color of my nails, my dress!

I'll express my love for you

every way l can!

Not Maki. Yes, it was.

No, no way. Yes way.

Who then? it was you.

Tomoko spilled it. Naoko?

Hey, Naoko! Where've you been

lt's okay, Tomoko.

Yeah.

Join us for lunch,

Rio...

l'm sorry, Rio.

Maki!

Naoko!

It's your fault! You took Rio from me!

Rio!

Naoko!

Naoko!

Stay away!

Naoko! don't! Come here!

lt's too late!

Why?

My mom's boyfriend...

l killed the bastard!

What?

He kept...

...molesting me.

Over and over.

But l couldn't...

... tell that hag.. my mom.

Naoko.

He dumped her yesterday.

Know what she said?

She said it was my fault.

No.

It makes you wonder why I was ever born.

I guess I was a mistake from the beginning.

Stop it! Nobody's a mistake!

You weren't a mistake, Naoko!

You're kind, Rio.

I've always adored you.

I didn't have any real friends before you.

l'm sorry.

l really am.

Don't be.

You made me feel wanted for once.

You were my idol, Rio.

It doesn't matter how I was with you.

I was just glad to be with you.

Naoko!

Naoko!

Naoko...

Don't, Naoko.

No one's over there. I'm here!

You belong here.

Naoko!

Naoko!

Naoko, please!

See? Everyone's calling you.

l'm sorry.

Well? Cool, huh?

l knew it.

lt looks rad on me.

Rio...

Thanks for everything.

l loved you.

Naoko!

Naoko!

Rio! Think about it! Rio, stop!

I've got to tell Tomoko.

I can't keep hiding it!

You want Tomoko to end up like Naoko?

I won't let that happen.

Rio!

Tomoko!

Rio! Guys?

What's up?

Listen, Tomoko...

You caught me.

I wanted to make this picture a surprise.

When It's finished, it'll be my present to you all.

Tomoko, I've got to tell you about Naoko.

Okay.

I ordered Naoko to bully you.

She never hated you or anything like that.

What? I don't understand.

It was awful. I'm so sorry.

How could you do something like that!?

I'm sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me.

You, too?

No! It was all my doing.

No, it wasn't.

We went along with it.

l feel so stupid.

What an idiot l am!

Tomoko... good morning..

Rio!

Maki, Miho...

What happened?

How're you feeling, Rio?

You passed out from stress.

You're supposed to rest.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

Tomoko.

Thanks, Tomoko.

Did something happen, Rio?

The professor left.

What?

How so?

???

No letter? Or phone number?

What? Is he out of his mind?

No excuse.

lt's my punishment.

For all my cruelty.

For making Tomoko suffer...

for pushing away Naoko.

l deserved it.

l've been wondering.

Why you kept me in your circle.

Why you threw yourself on me to protect me from Naoko.

My old friends never even tried to help me when I was bullied.

You may have lied, but you saved me twice.

So I vowed that someday I would return the favour

This is my chance.

Tomoko.

Tell us, Sir.

Where did the man in that old house

on 6th Street move to?

A guarantor's name on his lease would do.

I really can't tell you that.

It's confidential information.

Don't be that way, Boss.

You've put me in a bind here. Let's just party.

That stubborn old pervert.

We'll break him tomorrow.

Too few clues.

Try again tomorrow.

Right.

What?

Who's that?

Don't tell me...

...it's Kaori.

Kaori!

Who're you?

Are you Kaori?

Yes. Do l know you?

You've come to see Rio?

No.

What're you here for?

Regular checkup.

She's hiding a pineapple!

l did not.

Why the pineapple then?

Why not?

lt's unnatural.

Whatever. Go and see Rio.

No, thanks.

???

Rio's still madly in love with the professor.

Seriously.

Dead serious.

Let her see him.

This is for you.

Thank you.

How're you feeling?

He's got to absorb himself in his research.

l see.

That photo.

It's the photo that brought us together.

The moment l saw it...

It was like an electric shock ran through me.

My mind went blank.

My friends laughed at me, saying it was love.

He made me want

to start my life over again.

And I felt like spending it

entirely with him.

But he didn't feel that way.

The harder you love,

the more it hurts.

Yes, it hurts like hell.

But that's how a woman learns her fate.

Don't say you heard it from me.

Kouki's new address.

Go prove your love.

But l...

You can decide when you see him.

I didn't think you'd come.

Your friends pushed me for 15 hours.

Good friends.

Yeah.

Too good for me.

you out of fear you'd hate me.

If I did, you'd pull farther away.

I'm resigned to anything.

Your friends would keep hounding me anyway.

3 years ago, something happened

that turned me bad.

I was kind only to those I could use.

ln the end...

I hurt those who cared for me.

That was all before I met you.

What happened 3 years ago?

When l was 1 4...

I was raped, and got pregnant.

My parents insisted...

... that I abort the child, of course.

From then on...

I felt I'd rather hurt people

than be hurt by them.

Did that help?

It showed me there were worse

things than being hurt..

a million times more painful.

I can't believe it took 17 years to learn that.

l see.

But you're no longer the same person.

You've been through a lot.

You have friends.

You're not alone.

and compassion...

hurt you now.

Professor, the truth is I still...

I've started a new research

project at this school.

It's a great environment.

l'm real happy.

Yes. Of course.

I just wanted to say thanks.

That's all I planned to do.
