Talk:Tsukumodo:Volume 1 Memories and Notes

It stayed that way until I visited his parents to introduce myself. That was quite the surprise."

(surprise for hideki-san?)

For both of them. But I suppose Hideki-san was surprised because of an additional reason...

My full attention was directed at Etsuko-san's voice and her holding the breath.

( did she hold her breath WHILE speaking? or: she held her breath then spoke, then held it again and so on? anyway, very strange wording)

...sounds strange, indeed. You guessed the meaning right, though: she does it alternately. I can't think of an appropriate wording right now, though.

As you said, I shouldn't be here," he declared and stood up.

(is he reffering to Saki?)

"As you said" is not quite appropriate here. More like, "You're right," because he was referring to their surprise at his being there.

At the same time, the probability that she had left the scrap somewhere and forgotten about it grew. Or perhaps she had lost it while she was tidying things away from her move.

(MB i'm being stupid here, but just to be sure... she might have lost it while arranging her stuff in the new house after she moved into it, correct?) --idiffer 04:15, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

He thinks of two different cases here: one is that she just lost the scrap because of the mess (not necessarily while arranging her stuff, just generally), and the other one is what you mentioned. EusthEnoptEron (talk) 04:27, 3 May 2014 (CDT)
