The expectation that Miho has is not only a blessing for Kanon and Naoko in the TV series, but also an expectation for herself and Akiko.
Can Kanon and Naoko have a good ending?
Can she and Zhang Zi meet again?
At this moment, Miho has no idea where Akiko is or what her situation is. The only remaining connection between the two girls is this "Lovely Season".
The friendship started by watching the same TV series, and because of this TV series, there is still this thread of connection even after the breakup.
The TV series is about to end, and the story of Kanon and Naoko will also come to an end, but Akiko is nowhere to be found.
At this moment, with Zhang Zi's situation, can he watch the TV series? Are there promotional posters before the finale of the TV series on the streets that Zhang Zi walks through? And, and...
When seeing something related to "The Lovely Season", will Zhang Zi think of the two of them watching TV together?
While watching the TV series, Miho thought of Zhang Zi.
However, when the TV series ends, the only connection with Zhang Zi will be severed. At that time, will Zhang Zi gradually fade away in his heart? Will the mackerel and tuna never meet again after they swim to different seas?
Such an encounter?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Miho knocked on the door of the law firm. It was the first time in her life that she had been to such a place, and she felt nervous and uneasy. In the minds of ordinary people, "lawyers = trouble", and Miho never thought about dealing with lawyers.
picture.
Loan companies are collecting debts, seeking lawyer consultation... Miho is experiencing an unprecedented life.
The receptionist who opened the door was a young girl with short hair. Seeing an ordinary and gentle face, Miho's heartstrings relaxed a little. However, the piercing ringtones of the phones that kept ringing in the office, and the watches and alarm clocks everywhere, made Miho feel more relaxed.
She tensed her back...
"Um," she said nervously, announcing her appointment, "I'm Mizuno who called before."
The receptionist, who looked just like her colleagues, quickly confirmed the itinerary and politely led her to the booth for visitors. This behavior silently reminded Miho: Such crispness,
He is completely different from his colleagues.
Miho lowered her head and followed her, not even listening to what the other party said, "Lawyer Iwahashi is discussing things with other clients, and the time is a little delayed."
The Iwahashi lawyer in the magazine is in this firm.
However, after calling to make an appointment, she excused herself from the company and left early, and came here. Until the moment when she was waiting for Iwahashi's lawyer, Miho's heart was still wrapped in fog, and she didn't know why she did what she did.
If it was to seek help for Zhang Zi, Zhang Zi was nowhere to be found at the moment. But if not, then why?
…
Finally, Miho's name was called.
In Miho's imagination, Lawyer Iwahashi was a simple woman wearing glasses, about fifty years old. But in reality, she looked incredibly young.
Although she could tell at a glance that she was a woman over thirty years old, the difference between her and her imagination still surprised Miho. But in a sense, being so entangled in such an insignificant thing was because she was confused and confused inside, and she doubted herself.
manifestation.
"I……"
Miho couldn't hold her head up in front of the impressive lawyer Iwahashi. But lawyer Iwahashi was patient and encouraged her to some extent. She finally said, "I saw Lawyer Iwahashi's interview in a magazine."
…
The magazine where Chaozi was interviewed has been published for half a month, and a lot of women have come to the office for consultation. There are young pink-collar workers or female college students, as well as housewives and wives who look quite respectable.
The response to that article, which only certain people would pay attention to, was unexpectedly strong. But it may also be expected.
Among the visitors, some were anxious and anxious, as if they were rushing to grab the last straw to save their lives. They were at a loss and didn't know what to do. There were also some who looked like they were breaking a jar, but their expressions were actually full of timidity.
First, you have to be troubled in this area to pay attention to that article. Then, you have to muster the courage to come here.
However, the young girl named Mizuno sitting in front of her made Asako a little confused.
Miho Mizuno looked nervous, but it was the kind of nervousness that caused her to wander into a place she shouldn't have been. It was obvious at a glance that she was not in such a whirlpool.
Asako raised her eyebrows slightly, watching Mizuno Miho bury her face deeply, "...I want to ask you something about being involved in a loan dispute." She started and said something incoherent. Seeing this, Asako turned from listening to
guide.
As a result, after listening to a few words, she discovered that Mizuno Miho was not here for herself. She had a friend who owed money to a loan company and was forced by the other party to borrow money from another company. Not only that, her friend has now disappeared from the world.
.
With the loan company's style of playing long-term to catch big fish, Mizuno Miho's friends should be safe for the time being. But behind this kind of safety, it is only one step away from the cliff. It just depends on when the loan company will pull back the line.
Three million yen, if the brakes are not applied immediately, it will soon reach ten million yen. Even if her friend doesn't want to, the other party will stuff more money into her hand.
When she is introduced to the next loan company, the other party will be prepared with words such as "You will also need some living expenses to lay the foundation for a new start, please don't be polite." He will try his best to lend her an amount far beyond what he wants to borrow, and give her a loan amount.
A tolerant repayment period. Anyway, knowing that she couldn't pay it back at all, she had no choice but to let it be at her mercy until the number accumulated to the point where she could no longer repay it.
The more seriously people want to pay back the money and start over, the more likely they will fall into this trap.
These things are obvious, but the person involved is nowhere to be seen, and the friend who consulted for her does not know her whereabouts. These words are meaningless. It can be called an inexplicable meeting.
Maybe the reason why she left without saying goodbye was because someone around her found out about her debt and she ran away on purpose. Considering this, I can't even give Mizuno Miho any advice on finding that friend.
In her mind, Asako began to prepare the social rhetoric before seeing off the guests. However, Miho Miho's eyes were filled with tears.
…
As soon as Friday night arrives in Tokyo, people tend to go out in force.
Walking on Ginza Street, the pedestrians you meet or pass by, whether they want to party from the bottom of their hearts, or never waste every opportunity to be unrestrained, in short, everyone is in high spirits.
Although, it is the annoying rainy season at this time.
But after this week's work, if you don't enjoy it, it seems that you will be sorry for your hard work throughout the week. After all, it is the only one. In the craze for holidays, you can see the bitterness of office workers in society.
However, on this Friday night, among the people hanging out all night, there were visibly fewer young women. Moreover, those who noticed this tacitly knew why. Tonight, the "Cute"
Season" is coming to an end.
After the TV series ends, in the middle of the night in Tokyo, those young girls will probably go out again and never return until they are drunk. However, it is also possible that the next action will be decided by whether the final ending is good or bad.
But no matter what others say, Miho's action plan remains the same.
On the third week after Zhang Zi disappeared, her colleagues resumed teasing her when she left.
"Miho-chan is a big fan of Akina-san."
...Yes, because she is a fan of Akina-chan, she keeps watching the TV series every episode. As for the days when she was with Akiko, with the ridicule of her colleagues, it was officially announced that in this department
A write-off.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the TV series starts on time.
After Kanon reunited with Naoko, and with her unhesitating support, she gradually regained her old inspiration. The two of them looked forward to giving birth to the little life in Naoko's belly, but Naoko was told that given her physical condition, she would not be able to give birth.
Giving birth to a child may put your life in danger.
Kanon once excitedly and forcefully persuaded Naoko to give up the child, but in the end she was persuaded by Naoko. And the meaning of the child that Naoko would risk her life to give birth to became even more different.
These two close friends support each other, but occasionally, they show a hint of sadness that they are gambling with their lives. Whenever pessimistic thoughts come to mind, Kanon deliberately uses her exaggerated behavior to try to dispel the gloom.
But Naoko was not happy about her strong fighting spirit.
When Kanon realized that what she had done was hurting Naoko's soul and went to apologize to her, Naoko in turn opened her eyes in an optimistic and peaceful manner.
In the end, the two decided to relax and just keep their expectations for new life and look forward to that day.
The emergence of a new life, Naoko's choice between herself and her child, and all these things shocked Kanon's heart, and her understanding of the stage became deeper. She held on to the belief of "fulfilling the promise with Naoko and standing on the stage."
In my arms, I finally got an unprecedented opportunity.
However, as she stood on the stage, Naoko's life was about to wither.
In the theater, the second act begins, and the first scene is Kanon's highlight. Her performance is impeccable and fascinating. And when she performs with life-burning energy on the stage, at the same time, Naoko's life is flickering in the delivery room.
Threads pass.
Kanon's performance ended perfectly, and Naoko's life came to an end.
Before the hospital bed, Kanon and Naoko held hands tightly, but they could not stop the passing of life.
…
The last scene of the finale shows Huayin taking a little girl, and the two of them are laughing at the beach.
That was Naoko's child. Kanon's hand that held Naoko tightly was now holding her daughter's hand. That was both Naoko's child and her child.
From mother to daughter, a light of hope is in Huayin's hand.
Miho in front of the TV burst into tears at the ending.
A pair of close friends reunited again after separation, and ended up separated forever. This kind of sensational ending is the worst! But, do you want to say that this is a bad ending? Kanon's hand is holding Naoko's child.
That is the continuation of feelings and the inheritance of hope... Miho couldn't help but defend this ending in her heart.
New life has the power of hope.
Even if Naoko and Kanon are separated forever, there is still a child who represents hope in the world. With this little life here, Naoko's life will be passed down, and Kanon will retain that sincere relationship and never forget it throughout his life.
Television did not match the mood of the audience. After the TV series was broadcast, advertisements came in one after another, and the next one was an evening information program.
Miho was so annoyed that she turned off the TV. She cried for a while and finally wiped away her tears. But in her heart, she knew that the tears were not only shed for Kanon and Naoko, but also for her and Akiko.
After the TV series ended, her only connection with Zhang Zi in this world also ended. After that, Zhang Zi's figure will probably slowly fade in her heart, and only the courage of the mackerel swimming towards the tuna may be used in another way in the future.
Form appears in other things.
That courage only lit up in her heart after talking to Zhang Zi.
In the rest of her life, she may not have the chance to see Akiko again... and whether Akiko can overcome the difficulties is even more unknown. After this brief friendship, Miho can let go of her concern for Akiko as the TV series ends.
But in her heart, whenever she thought of Akiko, Miho felt an unspeakable sadness. It was the sadness caused by the sudden end of her friendship with Akiko, and the sadness of not being able to save Akiko.
Don't forget Zhang Zi.
Even from now on in my life, I will never see Zhang Zi again.
In Miho's mind, she recalled the day she went to see Lawyer Iwahashi, the various loan disputes she had introduced to her, as well as the necessary means of survival...
If it cannot be conveyed to Zhang Zi, can it be conveyed to people in the same situation as Zhang Zi?
Perhaps, conveying it to those people means conveying it to Zhang Zi.
Miho opened the drawer and took out the stack of manuscript papers.
After Akiko left, Miho couldn't let go. It was like writing a diary, recording her encounter with Akiko, the change in her impression of Akiko, and the courage of the mackerel to swim towards the tuna...
Probably when I was writing this, I already had a premonition that I might not see Zhang Zi again.
If only a few words can be left behind, even if one day the image of Zhang Zi fades from my mind, and I reread the words left at this moment, I can still think of this short-lived fate.
Miho picked up the pen and placed the tip of the pen on a blank page. This time, what she wrote was not a lyrical memory of Zhang Zi, but her imagination of "if she had known from the beginning, how she could have helped Zhang Zi."
Of course, compared to professionals, for someone like her who had just heard a little bit about it, writing these things was just a trick. However, in her heart, she couldn't stop the urge to do it.
Although she didn't know what the use of writing this would be, and she wasn't sure whether her words would have a chance of being read.
But Miho couldn't control her thoughts of "wanting to do something" and "wanting to do something for others."
Maybe, maybe.
Things are not that bad. Zhang Zi will one day read these words.
