Kyoko-san, I'm not sure if you can hear me, but there a few things I'd like to talk about. It's been a while, hasn't it? Have you seen Katsuya up there yet?
In heaven, I mean.
You know, we miss you very much. Especially Tohru-kun. She tries to hide her sorrow behind a happy face, but I can see it. She hides it well, but I've learned a thing or two in my years about seeing people's real emotions.
She bottles it in, like Katsuya did.
Well, like he did before he met you. You two were perfect. Just perfect.
So why did you have to die?
"Why?" I say. Tohru turns around to me, her eyes bright with puzzlement. I smile at her. She is just like her mother.
"Did you say something Grandpa?" she asks. I smile, and shake my head no.
"It was nothing, Tohru-kun. I didn't say a thing."
"If there is something you wish talk about, I'll be so happy to listen!" she says cheerfully. I close my eyes, and imagine you, Kyoko-san. She is just like you, you know.
"Thank you, Tohru-kun. I'm alright."
She is Your Daughter, Kyoko-san.
