Please just go.

Go!

Please let me be alone.

You really love Fujisaki,

don't you?

I understand.

I'll never bother you again.

You'd be a great help,

but I could never

afford your salary.

I see.

Why'd you quit the Carton?

Have a fight with Mama?

I'm tired of that place.

I may go back to the Club 8.

I'll help out when you're busy.

- Thanks.

Good-bye.

Mrs. Fujisaki?

I'm Keiko from the Carton Bar,

and a customer of the bank.

You've been very kind

to my husband.

Not at all.

Congratulations on his promotion.

Thank you.

I borrowed this

from your husband.

I'd like to return it.

Is that all right?

If I need it again,

I'll borrow it directly from you.

I see.

Here's a little something

for the children.

Dear...

Thanks.

Please take good care

of yourselves.

She's beautiful.

Not at all like a bar hostess.

Mommy, what is this?

Can we open it?

Later.

It had been a bleak ordeal,

like a harsh winter.

But the trees that line the streets

can sprout new buds

no matter how cold the wind.

I too must be just as strong

as the winds

that gust around me.

Ah! Welcome!

It's been so long!

Welcome!
