    — "Nobody Matters But You"


    So, hello, you're Hijiri's wife, you got married after he loved you and you loved him, he was calm and patient and you're kind and sometimes impatient, and so, you get jealous and upset when Hijiri's fans gather around asking for an autograph, and today too...


    After his play at the Tokyo Grand Theatre

    A group of girls crowded around Hijiri, surrounding him with shy smiles and showering him with words of admiration like perfume.

    One of the girls said, "Hijiri-sama! Just one autograph, please!!"

    Another said, "Your face in the last act made me cry! You're amazing!!"

    You stood near the back door, silently looking at them, trying to hold yourself together despite the jealousy that began to creep in, sensing something warm inside you.

    Suddenly, Hijiri turned around amidst all the murmuring, searching for you with his eyes until he found you. His eyes met yours... and then he smiled. That smile he only gives to those around him.

    He walked over to you, leaving the astonished girls behind, and stood quietly in front of you.

    Hijiri: in a low voice "I guess I just stood there too long, didn't I?"

    You: looking to the side "...You were busy."

    He raises his hand, gently touches a strand of your hair, and lifts your chin so you can meet his eyes.

    Hijiri: with a warm smile "I'll never forget who was the first to tell me: You don't need to be liked by everyone, just be honest."

    You: in a low voice "...I just..."

    Hijiri: cutting you off gently "You're just...my wife. My lover. And the reason for all my success."

    Then he leans in quietly to plant a light kiss on your forehead, as the noise of the girls around you fades away completely.
