VIDEO: Himatsubushi-hen | TIP 11: A Very Kind Person
BGM: Silence
...That's why she wouldn't be receiving a call from him today.
Yesterday, she had teased him that he got lonely easily, so he might have struggled with the idea of calling her sooner.
That was much easier to imagine, rather than that he might just be too busy to call.
...Because he's just that type of person. Yukie, whispering that, smiled to herself.
She exchanged pleasantries with the family of the patient that was staying in the same room as her. Probably eager for his mother to be discharged, their small child was wearing a beaming smile.
That child's mother was pregnant in the bed next to mine with what may be their new brother or sister.
They were probably ready to burst with the expectations, dreams, and worries of having a new sibling.
The joys of a growing family.
...Bathing in those warm feelings, I stroked my own belly, which had grown quite large.
I had talked with him about how many children we wanted to have.
We talked about how if we had three, it would certainly be lively.
...However, there was the inescapable worry of whether I would be able to handle giving birth that many times.
Yukie, smiling as she said that to herself, gently stroked her stomach.
The Metropolitan Public Safety Division.
The place where that man's sense of justice had led him.
...That person was actually a very gentle, very fragile person.
He didn't talk much about the specifics, but I didn't think he was suited for the assignment he was on right now.
But... as long as he said he was going to try his best, I would watch over him warmly.
"Your father, you see... is a very hard worker, you know? Coochie coochie coo...☆."
Yukie seemed to be enjoying herself as she talked to her own belly.
Long ago. She remembered that when she was little, around this time in the countryside where her grandmother lived, the higurashi would fill the air with their chorus.
This was the middle of Tokyo.
Unlike in the countryside, you couldn't hear the song of the higurashi.
...But for some reason... at that moment Yukie felt that she wanted to hear that song.
