Hatsumi ignored her sherbet"Oh boy," I
thought...
| Hatsumi ignored her sherbet"Oh boy," I
thought to myself as I finished my sherbet and coffeeHatsumi stared
at her hands on the tableLike everything she wore, her hands looked
chic and elegant and expensiveI thought about Naoko and Reiko
What would they be doing now? I wonderedNaoko could be lying on
the sofa reading a book, and Reiko might be playing "Norwegian
Wood" on her guitarI felt an intense desire to go back to that little
room of theirsWhat the hell was I doing in this place?
"Where Watanabe and I are alike is, we don't give a shit if nobody
understands us," Nagasawa said"That's what replica omega seamaster planet ocean makes us different from
everybody elseThey're all worried about whether the people around
them understand themBut not me, and not WatanabeWe just don't
give a shitSelf and others are separate
"Is this true?" Hatsumi asked me"I'm not that strongI don't feel it's OK if nobody
understands meI've got people I want to understand and be
understood byBut aside from those few, well, I feel it's kind of
hopelessI don't agree with NagasawaI do care if people understand
me
"That's practically the same thing as what I'm saying," said Nagasawa,
picking up his coffee spoon"It is the same! It's the 925 tiffany's necklace difference
251
between a late breakfast or an early lunchSame time, same food,
different name
Now Hatsumi spoke to Nagasawa"Don't you care whether I
understand you or not?"
"You don't get it, do you? Person A understands Person B because the
time is right for that to happen, not because Person B wants to be
understood by Person A
"So is it a mistake for me to feel that I want to be understood by
someone - by you, for example?"
"No, it's not a mistake," answered Nagasawa"Most people would call
that love, if you think you want to understand meMy system for
living is way different from other people's chanel purses systems for living
"So what you're saying is you're not in love with me, is that it?"
"Well, my system and your - "
"To hell with your fucking system!" Hatsumi shoutedThat
was the first and last time I ever heard her shout
Nagasawa pushed the button by the table, and the waiter
came in with the billNagasawa handed him a credit card"Sorry
about this, Watanabe," said Nagasawa"I'm going
to see Hatsumi homeYou go back to the dorm alone, OK?" "You
don't have to apologize to meGreat meal," I said, but
no one said anything in response
The waiter brought the card, and Nagasawa signed with a ballpoint
pen chanel earrings stud after checking the amountThen the three of us stood and went
outsideNagasawa started to step into the street to hail a taxi, but
Hatsumi stopped him
"Thanks, but I don't want to spend any more time with you todayYou
don't have to see me home
,,Whatever," said Nagasawa
"I want Toru to see me home
"Whatever," said Nagasawa"But Watanabe's practically the same as
meHe may be a nice guy, but deep down in his heart he's incapable
252
of loving anybodyThere's always some part of him somewhere that's
wide awake and detachedHe just has that hunger that won't go away
Believe me, I know what I'm talking new cartier watches a |
