Riyo:
Did you tell the matchmaker about my parents?
Aunt Sode:
You mean, how they died? Of course not. [hands Riyo a picture] Matsuji is such a handsome man. He doesn't look like a sugar cane farmer!
Riyo:
[stares at the picture, then grabs the letter next to it and reads] When the mist covers the mountains, I'm reminded of the homeland. Yet, in this South Seas paradise, money is earned with ease, and the eternal fragrance of flowers is but another tropical blessing. In anticipation of your arrival, I'm inspired to write this haiku poem: "Lady Butterfly perfumes her wings by floating over this orchid."
Aunt Sode:
I'm worried about you working in the fields, but at least in Hawaii no one will no anything about yur past. That's why it's perfect. Far away, you can leave your past behind and start all over again. Riyo, maybe your luck is changing.
