My take is that the wife and secretary started an affair without the husband's consent. But since the secretary saved his life, he decided to let it go. The thing is, all those years, the wife didn't know that he knew. And she didn't understand the message of the ring. She did, however, understand the painting's. At least the third's.

That being said, Ayako sounded a lot older than she actually looked like, and by that I mean even considering Anime standards. No Idea if it was the fault of the VA director or whoever did her character art. The wife also kinda annoyed me. Having an affair and seriously being pissed about not being mentioned in the will (and yes she was annoyed about it, it wasn't the reason she burned the scrolls, but it still pissed her).

I don't know if she was pissed so much as embarrassed? We don't even know what was in the first will, for that matter - the one that dealt with the bulk of the assets. |

And no, she was actually annoyed that she didn't even get mentioned. The VA imho brought that one over rather well.

Because her excuse was that she wasn't mentioned in the will. She admitted herself that she got a ring shorty before her husband died.
Her problem didn't really seem to be not getting anything but not being mentioned at all. Her husband's last will basically treated her as non existent. You can be pissed without sounding like it. If you really need a spoit though, see the post above mine

It was pretty obvious who got the lion's share of the assets. Oldest son> middle son (actor)>>>>illegitimate son >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>wife (got nothing)

As for what she looked like when she burned the scrolls, maybe she was pissed at her late husband for revealing her secret. Note that it was the brothers' first reaction, too. |

So the affair began twenty years ago? When Ayako became pregnant, did her husband know the child was not his? My guess is he did not. More likely, she presented Haruhiko to him as his son and hid the truth about the affair. Did the affair continue for the next twenty years? Was the husband oblivious for all that time? Did it come out when the secretary saved him? We don't know how long ago that was.
I had a hard time piecing together a plausible time line for the events here. If Haruhiko were ten, it would be somewhat less implausible, but only somewhat. Perhaps the husband was so engrossed in his writing that he ignored both of them and gave them time and space to maintain their relationship. But twenty years?

At least his will didn't specify to kick her out of the house.

Yes. Maybe she inherited the house and furnishings? If not, it might be hard for the sons to see mommy and her lover at breakfast every day. Still, they seemed pretty comfortable living at home, so maybe they'd adapt. After all, it had been just the five of them for a while now, and their father seemed to have blessed the arrangement. But the day might come when they ask the secretary to move out and force mom to choose between life with him and life at home with them. What does a middle-aged secretary do when his patron dies? Could he and Ayako really live on their own? It would certainly be a major step down in the world for them, I suspect. Maybe they could open a nice konbini.

Considering neither one of the sons who found out seemed to curse their mother, only the father for even bringing it up at this time. I highly doubt the mom and secretary are going to have to worry about being kicked out, regardless of how the situation came to be.

Wow. The exes are so unsympathetic in this. And hypocritical. I didn't have an opinion on them before, but now I can see they're pieces of work.
The "friends" are assholes too. On the plus side, I like the Akihiro's mnemonic for the migi-mae thing. |
