SCENE II. Friar Keiichi's cell.

Kamui: Um...OK, Hinoto can be Friar John. [Hinoto appears randomly]

[Enter Hinoto]
Hinoto: Holy friar! Brother, where are you?

[Enter Keiichi]
Keiichi: Is that Hinoto, back from Kyoto? What did Seishiro say? Or if he wrote his thoughts, give me his letter.

Hinoto: Well...Actually, they wouldn't let me into Kyoto. They were afraid I was from an area where disease has broken out.

Keiichi: Well then who took my letter to Seishiro?

Hinoto: I could not send it. Here it is. I couldn't find a messenger to take it into town, they were so afraid that I was sick.

Keiichi: Oh, cursed fate! Cursed Murphy's law that is turning this play into a tragedy! That letter was not just a friendly letter! It had important things in it, and since it did not get to Seishiro, there could be danger. Hinoto, go and get me crowbar and bring it to my room.[1]

Hinoto: I'll go and get one for you.

[exits]

Keiichi: Now I need to go to the tomb alone, since Subaru will wake up within three hours. He's going to yell at me since Seishiro is not here, but it's no one's fault. I'll send another letter to Kyoto and keep Subaru with me until Seishiro can come. That poor boy, a living corpse enclosed in a dead man's monument!

[Exits]

[1] I think that's what he asked for.
