doesn't he?

Yes, for a long time now.

He should look after himself.

When an illness seems to have abated,

that's the most critical time.

Sensei... why do you treat

your wife like that?

I just haven't grown up.

There's been another thief

in the neighbourhood.

And Kume has toothache.

I wondered why she had

such a face on her!

I've told her to go to the dentist

but she won't. So I'm taking her.

Nice to see you, Hioki.

She's an unhappy woman.

She has only me to depend on,

that's why.

- Dinner's almost ready.

- I'm going to visit my sensei.

Again?

Why do you go round there so often?

What about your graduation thesis?

Sensei is out.

I'll be looking after his place.

Isn't his wife there?

There've been thieves in the area,

and she's afraid on her own.

Oh, really?

She must be very beautiful, his wife.

That's not the reason!

- You must be bored.

- No.

I keep thinking about the thief,

so I'm on edge... not bored.

Help yourself to any of the books.

Does your husband often

go out in the evenings?

No, hardly ever.

Of late, he's taken a dislike

to meeting anybody.

- Apart from you, of course.

- No, myself included.

- That's not true.

- Why?

Because he loves his wife,

he hates the outside world.

You're a typical scholar,

all wrapped up in your theories.

Shall I make some tea?

You've gone all silent on me.

You'd only scold me

about my "theories".

Not at all...

- Go on.

- I'll ask you then...

How much do you love your husband?

Why do you have to ask me

such questions?

How many, one lump or two?

You know before... when I asked him

about working?

You said he wasn't always like that.

I could rely on him.

- Did he change all of a sudden?

- Not suddenly. It was more gradual.

And you were with him all through this?

Well, we were married.

But, as his wife, you must surely know

the reason for such a change.

Hioki!

Do you think it's all my fault?

Not at all.

I don't know how many times

I've asked him,

"If it's something I've done,

then please tell me frankly."

Had the fault been mine,

I'd have changed it,

but all he'd say was, "You are faultless,

the blame all rests with me."

Hioki, please help me.

Since you've known him,

has he mentioned nothing to you?

If you know anything, you must tell me.

It was while I was staying

at a friend's house.

I thought he must be a local.

He looked as though he'd entered

the water never to return.

My imagination must have

been running wild.

That's how I met Sensei.

Nothing more than that...

Since then,

I've felt a strong bond with Sensei.

However,

I still have no idea

what kind of a man he is.

There is something

that I remember, though...

You mean about why he changed?
