ASUKA (OFF):“I'm going to live on my own!
I don't need Mom or Dad.
I'm going to live by myself.
I'm not going to cry anymore.”

Why am I crying?”

STEPMOTHER (OFF):“I don't know how to deal with that child.”
FATHER (OFF):“What's this? You, a doctor, getting discouraged?
It isn't like you.”
STEPMOTHER (OFF):“Even doctors are human, as I have mentioned before.”
FATHER (OFF):“But a woman like you having trouble with a child...”
STEPMOTHER (OFF):“She's oddly mature,
and there's a sense of vigilant and absolute rejection.
It scares me sometimes.
Haven't you ever felt that way, dear?”
FATHER (OFF):“No.
Anyway, you're Asuka's mother now.”
STEPMOTHER (OFF):“But before that, I first became your wife.”
FATHER (OFF):“You became both at the same time.”
STEPMOTHER (OFF):“Yes, from a social standpoint, that's true.
But you can never stop being that child's father,
whereas I can quit being her mother at any time.”
FATHER (OFF):“True enough.”

ASUKA'S MOTHER:“Your dad doesn't love your mom anymore.
He doesn't need me.
No, he never loved me to begin with.
He probably didn't need me from the start.
So, die with me, because your dad doesn't need us.”

The expression on her face looked very happy.”

I don't want to die. I don't want to disappear.
I hate boys. I hate Mom and Dad too!
I hate everybody!
