AOYAGI

My—who—are—you?

RIKI

I am a poet—I have sought everywhere for you.

AOYAGI

I am the Lady of the Weeping Willow Tree!

RIKI

You are my love.

AOYAGI

I am the daughter of Obaa-San.

RIKI

I love you so!

AOYAGI

Yes—I love you so!—But I love Obaa-San, my mother—

AOYAGI

Something speaks to me above the pity for poor Obaa-San.

RIKI

AOYAGI

I love Obaa-San.

RIKI

This is love beyond love. This is earth and air—sea and sky.

AOYAGI

I do not even know your name.

RIKI

What does my name matter? I am I—you are you.

AOYAGI

I love Obaa-San, my mother.—I feel happy in her arms;—I felt at peace;—but now I feel that I must go to you.—I am fearful—yet I must go.—You are—
