“I’m sure your mother loved you, but she made a hard choice in order to pursue her dream and she left you. She must have had her reasons, but in the end that’s what it comes down to: You were left behind. But if you miss her that much, why don’t you just go see her? Tokyo’s not that far away, and you know where she works. The only reason you’re still waiting for her is that you’re a coward. You’re afraid she’ll send you away. You figured out long ago that she doesn’t want you anymore.”
