Sad Tea Page #5

---

- Really?

- Yeah.

Sonoko was...

Well, you know Sonoko was in love with you, right?

More or less.

You know, she...

gave up on you because she knew you were taken.

She didn't want to make things hard

for your girlfriend by trying to date you.

She's... got a good moral compass.

But I couldn't just let go.

I think that if you really love someone,

you can't give up on them so easily.

I don't think it matters if there's another

girl in the picture. Even if it's just an affair.

That was fine with me,

and that's why

I found the strength to ask.

Things turned out like this in the end...

and I was struggling a lot of the time.

I would wonder all the time what you

were doing with her when you weren't with me.

But thinking about that made me hate myself more.

But... you know... when we walk to

the station together in the mornings,

or whatever... I had a lot of fun just spending that time together.

Even right now... we're talking about breaking up,

but we're doing it in the same room together.

We could have just done it over the phone or even by text,

but you came all the way here to do it.

That's true, at least.

You came here

imam

and that's why

mm Really

I see......

Thank you for going out with me.

Mm...

Let's give this a rest!

Uh... let's stop.

I, uh... this was a mistake.

Sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe today isn't the clay.

Really . .

Let's finish this.

It's okay. Don't make yourself do it.

No, we can't stop!

- We finish this... I don't want to end up having

this conversation again. - N-no, I'm sorry.

Okay, then we can just stay together!

Mm...

You don't even really think that we should stay together forever.

Uh... right, I'm sorry. I--

I made a mistake.

Welcome heme.

It didn't work out.

Oh.

Want some tea?

- Sure.

- Okay.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

I wonder if he's speed-walking right now.

I mean Asahi-san.

Toward 137:
1? ocean.

I'm a little jealous of him.

He's actually in love with someone.

And he's had only her in his heart the entire time.

I want to love someone that way.

Just like he does.

Kashiwagi-san...

Should we call it quits?

Let's break it off.

Why?

I actually

found someone else.

Yam

Wait, it's not Asahi, is it?

Asahi-san'? Not a chance.

Right.

Okay, who is it?

Someone I] knew?

No.

Someone I] knew from work.

Oh.

Sorry.

L] I See...

That's...

good for you.

It'd be better than staying with me, anyway.

Because

I can't really make you happy, anyway.

Oh.

I'm happy for YOU-?

I'm a little relieved.

That's enough.

What do you mean?

I'm at the end of my rope.

Today,

I've got a meeting to attend

so I might be a bit later than usual.

How much later?

I wonder... maybe...

Oh, I should be able to be home by around 8.

That's pretty much the same as usual, then.

Oh, is it?

At the usual time, then.

Are you hiding something?

I'm not hiding anything.

You seem a bit more dressed up than usual today.

I don't think so.

- Oh?

You're almost dressed to kill.

I wouldn't say so at all.

I'd really like

if you stopped hiding things.

[Pm

I'm going to take off now.

Wait up.

I don't mind if we call off the wedding, you know.

If you're not into it, there's really no point.

Thanks for letting me know.

But I do love you.

[Pm

We regret to inform you that we will be ciosed for the day.

[a letter to Asahi spoken out loud later]

Good morning!

- What are you up to?

- I think I dressed up too much!

Though?

- I'm not!

- You so are!

- When is that?

- When?

Around 5 today.

Together

- Now?

- Yeah, I'm just about to finish.

Wait, I don't have a car or anything.

Though.

- Really?

- Yeah. Just wait a second.

It's time, so I'm taking off.

- Wait a second, Tanako-chan.

- Yes?

I think he's got his eye on you, so you should be careful.

Why do you figure that?

[mm

But he tells me about how he cheats on his girlfriend.

[HQ

- But that might be just how he does it.

- How?

As in... he just tells you everything.

And that's how he lures you in.

I don't think people would say that

to someone they're interested in.

Well, yeah, you're right.

You, for example, never talk to me about your wife.

What? That makes it sound like I'm the one after you!

No, no...

Do you have time?

So, hey... do you remember Asahi?

ZEN.

We're going to the ocean after this.

WI? ocean?

- With him'?

- Yeah.

He said there'll be a sight to behold.

What the hell? That's so suspicious!

Ma?

That's creepy... what does he mean by pure love?

Gives me the willies!

This is a really bad idea!

He could have his way with you!

Here she is.

Sonoko!

He?-.

Cool, let's get going.

QM;

I'm sorry I'm late!

It's no problem!

WEBB together

- Hello.

- And...

This is Sonoko. We went to school together.

- Hello, nice to meet you,

- Nice to meet you.

This is Waseda. Former classmate.

Nice to meet you. I'm Aoki Tanako.

U-uh. .. Waseda Takayoshi.

Let's head out, then?

Are you good to go'?

Yeah.

Al rig ht, [ME

And Natsu told me she was planning to come see him,

so I figured I'd come see this

wholehearted love she talked about.

Gael.

And?

Why are you here, Sonoko-chan?

I'm in the same boat, I guess. I found

myself not really understanding love or hate.

- Oh...

- That's why

I figured I'd come see this.

This breeze is nice!

It's wonderful.

It's the ocean!

Hey, we're here.

Let's just let him sleep.

He didn't seem very interested in this, anyway.

H-he didn't?

Can

Uh... I'm just wondering, but did you buy clothing from me?

I knew it!

- I thought it was you.

- Yeah.

- I thought so the moment I got in the car.

- You should have said so!

Oh, sorry.

Wavy

You said that was a gift, right?

Oh, that... it didn't go over very well.

Oh.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I brought it up.

[Beam

U-uh...

I'm actually very interested in you.

That clay, when we met,

I felt that my heart was yours the moment I saw you.

I love you.

If it's okay with you, I'd like to go out with you.

What does love mean to you?

Please tell me.

That's...

How can you fall for someone so easily?

L-it's not that I fell in love so easily.

I'm sorry. I can't go out with you.

Love is love, isn't it...?

Waseda!

Why are you here?

Oh, she did get the present.

He bought that where I work.

You're the girl from the store'?

Yeah. I work there.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You're already dating, then.

No, not quite...

That's not what this is.

She rejected me.

WEEK?

Does that mean you two aren't doing well?

He clumped me.

Yam

And he got turned down.

Hello.

'WEBB

Are you working on your screenplay'?

I'm sorry if I'm interrupting you.

I haven't

really slept since we spoke.

And...

And...

I've thought a lot about all of this.

But... I don't want to talk on the phone.

I want to see you and talk.

We can talk again next time you come over.

Have you been sleeping, Kashiwagi-san?

I'm really sorry

if you haven't been sleeping because of me.

To Asahi, my fan of 10 years:

Nice to meet you... which may sound
