Kon'na koi no hanashi1997

Kaori Fujimura:
Tell me about yourself!

Shuichiro Harashima:
About me? There's nothing much to tell.

Kaori Fujimura:
What? I can't believe that!

[Shuichiro shrugs]

Kaori Fujimura:
Fine then, I'll ask the questions then. What comics did you read as a kid?

Shuichiro Harashima:
I didn't read them.

Kaori Fujimura:
Okay then, who did you play with?

Shuichiro Harashima:
I played by myself.

Kaori Fujimura:
What's your favourite food?

Shuichiro Harashima:
Nothing in particular.

[Kaori ponders for a moment, think of a question]

Kaori Fujimura:
Do you have silblings?

Shuichiro Harashima:
[Smiling] None

Kaori Fujimura:
You're an only child!

[They both laugh]

Kaori Fujimura:
So you had all your parent's attention...

Shuichiro Harashima:
Actually, my mother passed away when I was a baby. My dad died when I was eight.

Kaori Fujimura:
You're just like me then, both my parents died when I was a kid too. Misao raised me. I'm surrounded by poor people but I've never felt alone. I've always felt happy and loved. Konosuke was always teasing me though and causing trouble, he tries to help people but only makes matters worse for himself. One summer, Yosaku didn't do his homework so Konosuke gave him his! Konosuke got in so much trouble with the teacher, can you believe it? He's still the same today, he hasn't matured at all. [Laughs] I can talk, can't I?

Shuichiro Harashima:
Consider it a quality.

Kaori Fujimura:
If you had no siblings, and no parents, and no one to play with as a kid, you must have been very lonely.

Shuichiro Harashima:
I was very conscious about those things.

Kaori Fujimura:
[pause] Of all the men I've ever know, you're the wealthiest but by far the loneliest... But you won't be alone any more.

Shuichiro Harashima:
Huh?

Kaori Fujimura:
Soon you'll be married to Mayako, so she can keep you company... And later, so will your children. I'm glad you'll have your own family and you'll never be alone.

Shuichiro Harashima:
Yeah...
