Hey,

you're sure it'll take two or three days to repair?

Huh? You're not just talkin' outta your ass, are you?

"#07 The Rain That Falls in Monotone"

Excuse me.

We're ready!

Th-Thanks.

What's the matter?

Nothin' in particular.

Hold on a sec, there.

You stink, you know that? How many days since you bathed?

Five days.

Off you go! Wash up!

I can't wash my hair with bar soap.

What am I doin'?

Hey, wake up, Hatchin!

What is it?

I can smell your hair all the way over here.

So, you want me to wash my hair with bar soap?

Don't make excuses!

Oh! Michiko, did you take a shower yesterday?

Why d'you ask? Of course I did.

Then how come you don't know there isn't any shampoo?

Please, don't hit me because you're frustrated!

Now, listen, if your hair smelled like a field of flowers,

we wouldn't be havin' this argument.

So why don't you go out and buy some shampoo?

Do that for me, Hatchin.

A field of flowers, huh? And under the flowers is dirt, right?

- -Which means, the smell of dirt-- - -Just get goin'!

Hold it, you!

This turf here belongs to us ventos.

If you're passing through, you gotta pay.

You don't wanna get hurt, right?

These are nice, huh?

No!

Stop!

Are you okay?

Now you've made me mad!

Get rid of her!

There is one other beauty parlor to speak of,

but this is the one you want.

It's run by an outsider named Anastacia,

but she's good. She's a beauty herself.

Stop.

And if I say no?

Are you joking with me?

Here you've finally found what you're looking for, too.

It's beyond cruel, isn't it? I'm right here, within your grasp.

- -Would you just like me to trim the ends? - -Don't get the wrong idea.

Are you thinking about Feliciano?

Not at all.

You've already suffered enough. Why don't you...

let me heal those wounds for you?

I saw you yesterday, huh?

Eh?

I'm Anastacia.

Did you like my tobacco?

Tobacco?

Yes.

The tobacco I let my husband keep.

He's always smoking it without asking, you know?

But it's mine. Not that it matters, though.

Say, where did you come from?

You're leaving again soon, right?

Y-Yeah...

I see. That's too bad.

I'll take you back.

Here.

"I'm coming to see you tomorrow at one o'clock.

- -If I'm simply reading this wrong, I won't mind. - -A boy wearing a bath towel attacked me,

- -Just be out." - -and three of them ganged up, and took my shoes.

So it's not like I neglected to buy it on purpose.

Bruno...

Hey, are you listening to me?

How long've you been here?

Does that mean you haven't heard a single thing I've said?!

I wouldn't say a single thing.

So where's the shampoo?

See?! You haven't heard a single thing!

Like I said, a boy wearing a bath towel came along,

and he took off with my money and shoes.

That's why I couldn't buy any shampoo!

You ditched your money and shoes?!

A lie like that's not gonna work on me!

Don't go tryin' to pull fast ones on grown-ups.

- -You hate washin' your hair that much-- - -Shut up!

Oh! Stop playin' around! Don't do that!

Hey! Whaddya think you're doin'?!

What're you doin'?!

You plannin' on stayin' there all day?

Shut up.

Sorry. I wasn't thinkin' straight.

You're hungry, aren't you? Go buy somethin' to eat.

Get some shoes and shampoo, too.

It's not like that.

I missed the boat headin' out of here. That's why...

It's not like that.

Why?

Do we... need a reason?

It's messed up, isn't it?

I know.

Is this too forceful?

It's just...

I didn't know you were married. I just happened to go to your shop.

Don't you think that could be fate, or something?

Please stop.

I thought so. That's why I came here.

What if you hadn't been waiting here for me?

And it ended without us exchanging words?

It would forever weigh on our minds.

Even now...

I'm in love...

with another man.

Yeah, and I have a wife.

I don't mean it like that. I love him.

And does he love you, too?

I'm... the only one he's got.

And yet he let you go?

No!

No...

I wouldn't let a girl like you get hurt.

Tell me your name.

Michiko...

Malandro...

Go on.

Just a shampoo, please.

Come on in.

Hey, what're you doin'?

Go on.

If you would be so kind...

You two get along well. Is she your mom?

No, she's not.

Yeah, I figured.

They say the closer you are, the more you fight, right?

I wouldn't know.

Oh, no?

Still, that's what everyone says.

But then, my husband and I haven't fought in a long time,

and we're still close.

I haven't heard anything about that.

Long ago, there were fish that would swim nice and easy

through these waters.

Without any constraints, freely.

You remind me of those fish, and I find it beautiful.

I would like to swim together with you.

What is it... you want to do?

I don't know what to do.

Michiko...

I love you.

Hey, Hatchin...

I was thinkin', wouldn't it be nice to swim more freely?

You know, like...

there's no need to be kept bound to just one ocean, is there?

You mean an affair?

What're you talkin' about?! All I'm sayin' is,

I'd like to swim more freely, like fish do. That's what I meant.

Whaddaya mean, affair? Don't get so carried away!

What are you so flustered about? You sound ridiculous.

What're you doin'?

I'm going to go look for Hiroshi on my own.

Wha--

What're you talkin' about?!

How're you gonna look for him on your own?!

Don't touch me!

I can do it alone!

I don't need you anymore!

Michiko, I don't need you anymore!

Ee-yow...! Whad'ja do that for?!

This is goodbye, Michiko!

Halt!

Give me back the money and shoes you took from me!

I'll fight you for them!

Cram a sock in it. You mean these? Yeah, I'll give them back.

But how are you gonna beat me?

You won't be any trouble for me!

All right...

We'll toss them in the water, and whoever gets them first, wins. Okay?

That, too.

And if I win, I take the bag, too.

In that case, I'll take the boat.

Fine.

Hello there.

I thought these would look good on the girl.

How... did you know I was here?

I asked at the front desk.

Is there any other way I could have known?

No.

Well, give her my regards, okay?

Were you planning to be together with Bruno?

Start!

Go!

You're kidding, right?

How much of a woman do you think you are?

I'll tell you right now, I think he'll only repeat the same thing on you.

Once he obtains you, it's all over.

He'll lose interest, and he'll become cold and distant.

Can you give up everything for a man like that?

What about...

What about you?

Me? Ah, yes.

Bruno seems to fancy himself as a fisherman or something,

but the truth is, he's a fish.

In the end, he really just wants to be caught by me.

Listen,

can I ask you something?

What did you see in him?

"Sorry,

but I just can't let you have the boat," he said.

Is something the matter?

I just turned... ten years old.

Ah, congratulations.

Chasing you, chasing you

On a night when the sky is fairly dripping with stars

I want to believe in a miracle that will never happen

I would forever look at your face in profile,

always sitting right between me and him

I was the best friend close by your side

with my true feelings tucked away in my heart

If I could convey them to you here and now,

I wonder if the world would transform

I don't believe in God, but still,

I wish upon a star

I miss you now

On these sleepless nights my feelings only deepen

Baby I love you

Only after I met you did I realize

my loneliness and heartbreak

Always looking for you

Ah, my best friend

I want to hold you
