Saturday's Rakugo (Feb. 23)
Feb. 27th, 2008 12:15 pmWhoops. Forgot to finish up last week's story. Let's see. On Friday, we were left with Kiyomi on the phone, saying hello, yes . . . and looking around the table at the other students, Ako, and the new student, Yusuke, who seemed to duck.
( Lots of details . . . )
So Yusuke lies, and lies, but . . . we'll keep him!
Couple more little scenes on Saturday. First, Soso is in the garden, and Kiyomi asks him if he is still thinking about Yusuke. He says yes, but at least he'll talk to parents. And there's a card in the mail. From an old lady in Senri, thanking them for student, talking about great teacher, good rakugo. Soso starts to smile, then thinks, and says, "Lies, right?" Kiyomi, "No, I think it's real." Soso, "Nah, lies, I think." Having a habitual liar around sure makes reality fray.
Second, Kiyomi walking into the garden, and Ako at the gate. Kiyomi, "Sorry about all the fuss. I wondered about meeting you." Ako, "I'm going home. Get married." Kiyomi, "What? Who?" Ako, "Oh, anybody." Kiyomi, "Huh?" And Ako, "It's all lies. Because of you, my life is a wreck."
To be continued! (Just to make sure we come back on Monday, I guess.)
