Portrait of Madame Yuki Page #4

---

yesterday.

What did your husband say?

I am defeated.

I'm going to Tokyo today.

When will you be back?

I don't know at the moment.

You're leaving right away?

I have to stop at the lake hotel

to get some things.

I'll come with you.

I'd like to admire the lake.

What can I do?

I need help.

That's what I'm here for.

Not you. Someone who'll free

me from my husband.

That's not a solution.

You'll suffer just as much.

You mustn't count on others to

escape.

Only will power counts:

Determination.

Do you understand me?

I know...

I know. But...

Be courageous.

I'd like to die here

all alone.

Don't be silly.

I'll go to Kyoto.

You'll congratulate me when

I come back.

That's enough.

We're wasting our time.

You'll end up asking me

not to leave you.

There's no use continuing.

I'm decided this time.

Give me my release.

Don't be stupid. Let's drink.

That's enough.

No!

Drink.

You don't come often

to Kyoto.

Come in.

Yuki, the belles are here.

Come here.

Have a glass.

I've just had a phone call.

Madame Yuki's had an accident

in Kyoto.

You have to go there.

It wasn't an accident.

She took too many

sleeping pills.

How is she?

Getting better.

The doctor left.

What an event!

Is her husband here?

He went with the doctor.

When she arrived,

things didn't go well.

They fought.

Then it calmed down.

I thought it'd be okay.

What a time!

Madame Yuki.

Why did I wake up?

I wanted to go on sleeping.

Forever.

That'd be fine for you.

But what'd become of your

entourage who count on you?

It's your fault.

You got me into this state.

Some joke!

It's cowardly to blame me.

Am I a coward?

Don't say something so sad.

I've suffered so much.

You think only of fleeing.

You don't want to struggle.

If I were strong,

I wouldn't suffer so much.

How can I get rid of the evil

living in my body?

Don't think like that.

You're human.

Have faith in yourself.

What should I do?

You have to be strong.

I can't.

It's true.

Believe me.

I can't behave differently.

I wanted to suppress my body.

You're the weak one.

You order me to do

what I can't do.

And you...

I don't have confidence in you

anymore.

Welcome.

Consider that I no longer exist.

Go back to Kyoto.

But I can't anymore.

I've too many debts there.

I want to entrust Ayako with

the direction of this inn.

You'll agree.

I say nothing.

Don't come near me.

Me, I love you, as always.

Me, I hate you.

You're a beast.

Then you're a demon.

A demon of the snow

I suffer not knowing how to

possess you.

You're entranced

When I see you.

You're satisfied.

Then I think you're mine.

To the contrary, you're already

elsewhere with your smile.
