Her name was Shino... She was a college student, older than me. I think she may have had feelings for me too. But since she treated me like she was so much older... She couldn't return them. Then my brother came to inquire about my college...they met... Now, she's my sister-in-law. pg 18 Rinka: % That wedding invitation... Rinka: She...married your older brother? Yano: Yes. I thought of it so many times...when I heard they were getting ready for the ceremony...I regretted not telling her... I'd never fall in love that way again, I thought. So I didn't send it. I knew it would hurt everybody, so... I gave up. Book: "She knew that if she were to posess them, it would hurt someone." "But she wanted them." "...everyone was very sad..." Rinka: % I know it... % I couldn't stop it... pg 19 Yano: But even so... You didn't give up. pg 20 Rinka: ...amazing, huh? Yano: Yup. I said you were more of an adult than me, didn't I? Rinka: Yup, yup. So take back that thing about calling me a little kid! Yano: Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Clouds are coming in... Rinka: Oh....six? We...don't have much time left. Yano: There's one more thing I want to do.] pg 21 Yano: Present exchange. I'll meet you here in thirty minutes, and you can't spend any more than five hundred yen!
