Kachiko rose back to her feet and returned to the table, staring at the two
girls again. "Tell me something, and you can be honest with me, this is all
one of Wacky Wakaba's little practical jokes, isn't it?"
Sounds a bit like Ryouga. Tendou! Prepare to Die!
Kachiko rolled her eyes and rose to her feet. "All right, let's see what I
can find to prove this isn't the future." She looked around until her eyes
settled on the television. Triumphantly she walked over to it and examined
the buttons along the strip on the bottom. "Now we'll see what the
television stations of the future are broadcasting."
Sounds sort of like the guy who was in a coma for 10 years and found out
there was still a George Bush in the White House.
Using the same TV to cast doubt a little later was a nice touch.
Ten steps up the walk, the same ten steps it had always taken, and Kachiko
found herself standing next to the entryway of the house. Finger shaking
with uncharacteristic nervousness, she pressed the familiar red button for
the doorbell (or was it a different shade of red?) and heard a familiar
ringing from inside. Already her spirit started to ease at the familiar
sensations.
I'm a little surprised she didn't note the changed name plate. Curse you Wakaba!
"Events reached their peak {during :} late in our senior year. We exchanged
harsh words. Your mother had quite the tongue on her. Things degenerated
from there until we barely spoke to one another. Then we stopped talking
altogether." She dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief. "I just wished I
could have made up with her before she passed on. It's just, I thought there
was always enough time to do it later, so I never got around to it. An now
it's too late."
"Oh dear, you seem to have inherited your mother's pitiful sense of
humor as well."
Ouch!
Kachi's first meeting with Kuno should be interesting. I'd guess she knows
Principal Kuno from the past too.
It will be interesting to find out what's happened to Wakaba as well.
I definitely look forward to seeing more.
