For some reason when I see that
passionate look in your eyes,
it reminds me of my husband... |
| 2 |
|
qst200208_msg0002 |
84 |
Where is your husband now? |
| 3 |
|
qst200208_msg0003 |
84 |
Oh, he went out to war a long
while back. Got himself killed. |
| 4 |
|
qst200208_msg0004 |
84 |
All he left behind for me and Harghal
was a pile of debt. |
| 5 |
|
qst200208_msg0005 |
84 |
And I've always been sickly, so I
can't do much in the way of work. |
| 6 |
|
qst200208_msg0006 |
84 |
So naturally we struggled to get by,
and the debts just kept piling up. |
| 7 |
|
qst200208_msg0007 |
84 |
It can't be easy raising a kid on your
own, even without all that debt. |
| 8 |
|
qst200208_msg0008 |
84 |
Then to make things worse, Harghal
started saying she wanted to be a
dancer instead of finding a proper job! |
| 9 |
|
qst200208_msg0009 |
84 |
We wound up quarreling pretty
much every day over that. |
| 10 |
|
qst200208_msg0010 |
84 |
In the end, she got so sick of our
life of poverty, she gave up on me
and just left home entirely. |
| 11 |
|
qst200208_msg0011 |
84 |
And that's how she became one
of Bana's dancing girls... |
| 12 |
|
qst200208_msg0043 |
84 |
In the end, apparently she did
pretty well for herself. |
| 13 |
|
qst200208_msg0012 |
84 |
She even sent money home every
month for my medical bills. |
| 14 |
|
qst200208_msg0013 |
84 |
Not that I did anything to deserve it... |
| 15 |
|
qst200208_msg0014 |
84 |
I was never a good mother to her.
I couldn't even support her when
she tried to follow her dream. |
| 16 |
|
qst200208_msg0015 |
84 |
I was so ashamed of myself for
failing to make my daughter happy,
I could hardly bear it. |
| 17 |
|
qst200208_msg0016 |
84 |
Deep down, all I ever wanted was for
her to be happy. I wanted her to be
able to dance to her heart's content. |
| 18 |
|
qst200208_msg0017 |
84 |
But I was never anything but a
hindrance to her. With me around,
happiness was always out of her reach. |
| 19 |
|
qst200208_msg0018 |
84 |
Sometimes I wonder if she'd be better
off if I weren't around any more... |
| 20 |
|
qst200208_msg0019 |
84 |
You idiot! |
| 21 |
|
qst200208_msg0020 |
84 |
You really think your daughter would
be happy if you threw your life away? |
| 22 |
|
qst200208_msg0021 |
84 |
You're her mother, for crying out loud!
The only family she has! |
| 23 |
|
qst200208_msg0022 |
84 |
You're the only person in this world
who can look after her! |
| 24 |
|
qst200208_msg0023 |
84 |
If you really care about your daughter... |
| 25 |
|
qst200208_msg0024 |
84 |
Isn't it your job to watch over her
and make a life together with her
as best you can? |
| 26 |
|
qst200208_msg0025 |
84 |
Yes...you're right, of course.
I'm just setting a bad example for her,
being so weak. |
| 27 |
|
qst200208_msg0026 |
84 |
Really, I should be the one standing
by her side no matter what. |
| 28 |
|
qst200208_msg0027 |
84 |
If she ever comes home, I want
to give her a proper apology. |
| 29 |
|
qst200208_msg0028 |
84 |
And I'll ask her if she'd like to
stay here and live together again. |
| 30 |
|
qst200208_msg0029 |
84 |
That's more like it. |
| 31 |
|
qst200208_msg0030 |
84 |
Oh, yes, that reminds me...
I haven't seen Harghal in a long time,
but she did send a letter recently. |
| 32 |
|
qst200208_msg0031 |
84 |
A letter? |
| 33 |
|
qst200208_msg0032 |
84 |
"I have a big deal going down in the
Old City of Teddim. Soon I'll have a
large sum of money." |
| 34 |
|
qst200208_msg0033 |
84 |
"Once I have the cash, I'll come home."
That's what it said. |
| 35 |
|
qst200208_msg0034 |
84 |
But I haven't heard anything since,
so I don't know what happened... |
| 36 |
|
qst200208_msg0035 |
84 |
That's a bit worrying... |
| 37 |
|
qst200208_msg0036 |
84 |
Listen... I know it's not my place
to ask this, but... |
| 38 |
|
qst200208_msg0037 |
84 |
If my daughter's doing anything dodgy,
could you set her straight for me? |
| 39 |
|
qst200208_msg0038 |
84 |
Of course. I'll do whatever I can! |
| 40 |
|
qst200208_msg0039 |
84 |
If my burning heart of justice can't
set your daughter on the straight and
narrow, nothing can! |
| 41 |
|
qst200208_msg0040 |
84 |
Right. Let's head to the Old City of
Teddim and find this Harghal girl. |
| 42 |
|
qst200208_msg0041 |
84 |
Don't be too harsh on her, all right? |
| 43 |
|
qst200208_msg0042 |
84 |
I told you, I don't know or care where
that hussy might be! Now scram! |
