“Yes, I quite agree. Even the trees sound as though they’re singing with happiness.”

...Miss
“It’s been so long since we’ve been near a hot spring, I almost can’t remember the last time I’ve had a nice bath.”
“Ah, yes, Sango. It has been a long time. I can’t remember the last time I saw you bathe, either.”
“...”
“...I mean, since I’ve had a bath, myself.”
...Hit
“Sometimes I worry that, in the end, we won’t make it.”
“Sango, I swear that we will. We will save Kohaku. My kazaana will disappear. You and I will marry and have more children than we can imagine.”
“Really?”
“I promise.”
