When you've lived in Tokyo, you know people are a little disconnected from each other. So, if someone's got issues and a girl gives him a chance to sort them out then he's a catch. If she plays her cards right, she'll pick up a keeper. The other guy sounds like a sugar daddy that's keeping her going or a guy that she turns to from time to time. As well as financial, he might be the kind of guy that keeps her from one night stands. You have to consider women in Tokyo categorize men and can move on faster than the Nozomi Shinkansen. They don't have ego's like western women and can be a little heartless. That doesn't mean they don't care, what it means is they can adapt and move forward. Mind you, while all this is happening, the average guy will only be thinking about himself and how he's feeling. Remember, Tsukuru owns his own apartment and he's a well-education engineer in his late thirties, he can be a little picky. It's not up to her, he's already got her. It's up to him, how does he feel in the light of day after he's woken up and realized she's just another girl and her purpose was to help him out of a long term peer group issue. (less)
