Lady Ochii aka Princess Chiyo:
We both have our old wounds. I have mine here. An old wound, but forever new. A paper stained with blood and tears.
Heihachiro Komaki:
Ahh... his letter? You promised me that you might let me read it.
Lady Ochii aka Princess Chiyo:
You really wish to?
Heihachiro Komaki:
Yes, I really do, today.
[Lady Ochii removes Jutaro's letter from inside her kimono and hands it to Komaki]
Lady Ochii aka Princess Chiyo:
Here, then... read it.
[Komaki begins to read Jutaro's letter - the words of which he, Komaki, had actually written]
Heihachiro Komaki:
Farewell, Princess Chiyo, for today I die. Nevermore will my eyes follow my lady's graceful movements. And so memories must suffice. And I recall again your endearing ways. My heart is heavy...
[He chokes up but continues reading]
Heihachiro Komaki:
for I must die and leave so much of my love unspoken.
Lady Ochii aka Princess Chiyo:
[visibly moved]
The way you read it!
Heihachiro Komaki:
Farewell, paragon of gentlewomen.
Lady Ochii aka Princess Chiyo:
[recognizing the voice from ten years earlier, in the garden outside her window]
That voice of yours!
[the letter falls from Komaki's hands, but he continues reading, since he himself wrote it and knows the words]
Heihachiro Komaki:
Waking and sleeping, my thoughts were ever with you. And though I end this mortal life, my love will never change.
