"Well, on the 24th of August I got a call from Naoko's mother asking if it was OK for Naoko to visit me at the sanatoriumNaoko wanted to pack the things she had left with me and, because she wouldn't be able to see me for a while, she wanted to have a nice long talk with me, and perhaps spend a night in our flatI said that would be fineI wanted to see her really badly and to have a talk with herSo Naoko and her mother arrived the next day, the 25th, in a taxiThe three of us worked together, packing Naoko's things and chatting awayLate in the afternoon, Naoko said it would be OK for her mother to go home, that 337 she'd be fine, so they called a taxi and the mother leftWe weren't worried at all because Naoko seemed to be in such good spiritsIn fact, until then I had been very worriedI had been expecting her to be depressed and worn out and emaciatedI mean, I knew omega watch replica how much the testing and therapy and stuff they do at those hospitals can take it out of you, so I had some real doubts about this visitBut one look at her was all it took to convince me she'd be OKShe looked a lot healthier than I had expected and she was smiling and joking and talking much more normally than when I had seen her lastShe had been to the hairdresser's and was showing off her new hairdoSo I thought there would be nothing to worry about even if her mother left us aloneNaoko told me that this time she was going to let those hospital doctors cure her once and for all, and I said that that would probably be the best thing to doSo then the two of us went out for a walk, talking all the time, mainly about the futureNaoko told me that what she'd really like was for the two of us to get out of the sanatorium and live together somewhere "Live together? You and quilted chanel bag Naoko?" "That's right," said Reiko with a little shrug"So I told her it sounded good to me, but what about Watanabe? And she said, "Don't worry, I'll get everything straight with himThen she talked about where she and I would live and what we'd do, that kind of thingAfter that we went to the aviary and played with the birds I took a beer from the fridge and opened itReiko lit another cigarette, the cat sound asleep in her lap"That girl had everything worked out for herselfI'm sure that's why she was so full of energy and smiling and healthylookingIt must have been such a load off her mind to feel she knew exactly what she was going to doSo then we finished going through her stuff and throwing what she didn't need into the metal drum in the garden and burning it: the notebook she had used as a diary, and all the letters she had receivedThis seemed a bit strange to me, chanel jumbo bag so I asked 338 her why she was burning stuff like thatI mean, she had always been so careful about putting your letters away in a safe place and reading them over and overShe said, "I'm getting rid of everything from the past so I can be reborn in the future' I suppose I pretty much took her at her wordIt had its own kind of logic to it, sort ofI remember thinking how much I wanted her to get healthy and happyShe was so sweet and lovely that day: I wish you could have seen her!

He left me alone as long as I kept my area clean, and in fact having him as my room-mate made things easier for me in many waysHe did all the cleaning, he took care of sunning the mattresses, he threw out the rubbishHe'd give a sniff and suggest a bath for me if I'd been too busy to wash for a few daysHe'd even point out when it was time for me to go to the barber's or trim my nasal hairThe one thing that bothered me was the way he would spray clouds of insecticide if he noticed a single fly in the room, because then I had to take refuge in a neighbouring shitpileStorm Trooper was studying geography at a national universityAs he told me the first time we met, "I'm studying m-m-maps "You like maps?"

I said "But it's already 60!" he said, d
