#14 - Cheerful

Episode 7 – The Monotony of Falling Rain

Hatchin felt nauseated by Michiko's cheerfulness about Bruno.

She didn't listen to anything Hatchin said. Despite her youth, Hatchin knew Michiko wasn't experiencing a real happiness, but temporary infatuation. Michiko was in love with the idea of being in love, which caused her to utter ridiculous things—I want to swim freely like a fish and not be bound by a single ocean.

That's why Hatchin called her out on having an affair. Bruno was a cheating jerk who probably hit on every woman that visited his wife's beauty parlor. Michiko's brain was too fogged up to see face reality.
