| 1 | qst200208_msg0001 | 84 | For some reason when I see that
passionate look in your eyes,
it reminds me of my husband... |
| 2 | qst200208_msg0002 | 84 | Where is your husband now? |
| 3 | qst200208_msg0003 | 84 | Oh, he went out to war a long
while back. Got himself killed. |
| 4 | qst200208_msg0004 | 84 | All he left behind for me and Harghal
was a pile of debt. |
| 5 | qst200208_msg0005 | 84 | And I've always been sickly, so I
can't do much in the way of work. |
| 6 | qst200208_msg0006 | 84 | So naturally we struggled to get by,
and the debts just kept piling up. |
| 7 | qst200208_msg0007 | 84 | It can't be easy raising a kid on your
own, even without all that debt. |
| 8 | qst200208_msg0008 | 84 | Then to make things worse, Harghal
started saying she wanted to be a
dancer instead of finding a proper job! |
| 9 | qst200208_msg0009 | 84 | We wound up quarreling pretty
much every day over that. |
| 10 | qst200208_msg0010 | 84 | In the end, she got so sick of our
life of poverty, she gave up on me
and just left home entirely. |
| 11 | qst200208_msg0011 | 84 | And that's how she became one
of Bana's dancing girls... |
| 12 | qst200208_msg0043 | 84 | In the end, apparently she did
pretty well for herself. |
| 13 | qst200208_msg0012 | 84 | She even sent money home every
month for my medical bills. |
| 14 | qst200208_msg0013 | 84 | Not that I did anything to deserve it... |
| 15 | qst200208_msg0014 | 84 | I was never a good mother to her.
I couldn't even support her when
she tried to follow her dream. |
| 16 | qst200208_msg0015 | 84 | I was so ashamed of myself for
failing to make my daughter happy,
I could hardly bear it. |
| 17 | qst200208_msg0016 | 84 | Deep down, all I ever wanted was for
her to be happy. I wanted her to be
able to dance to her heart's content. |
| 18 | qst200208_msg0017 | 84 | But I was never anything but a
hindrance to her. With me around,
happiness was always out of her reach. |
| 19 | qst200208_msg0018 | 84 | Sometimes I wonder if she'd be better
off if I weren't around any more... |
| 20 | qst200208_msg0019 | 84 | You idiot! |
| 21 | qst200208_msg0020 | 84 | You really think your daughter would
be happy if you threw your life away? |
| 22 | qst200208_msg0021 | 84 | You're her mother, for crying out loud!
The only family she has! |
| 23 | qst200208_msg0022 | 84 | You're the only person in this world
who can look after her! |
| 24 | qst200208_msg0023 | 84 | If you really care about your daughter... |
| 25 | qst200208_msg0024 | 84 | Isn't it your job to watch over her
and make a life together with her
as best you can? |
| 26 | qst200208_msg0025 | 84 | Yes...you're right, of course.
I'm just setting a bad example for her,
being so weak. |
| 27 | qst200208_msg0026 | 84 | Really, I should be the one standing
by her side no matter what. |
| 28 | qst200208_msg0027 | 84 | If she ever comes home, I want
to give her a proper apology. |
| 29 | qst200208_msg0028 | 84 | And I'll ask her if she'd like to
stay here and live together again. |
| 30 | qst200208_msg0029 | 84 | That's more like it. |
| 31 | qst200208_msg0030 | 84 | Oh, yes, that reminds me...
I haven't seen Harghal in a long time,
but she did send a letter recently. |
| 32 | qst200208_msg0031 | 84 | A letter? |
| 33 | qst200208_msg0032 | 84 | "I have a big deal going down in the
Old City of Teddim. Soon I'll have a
large sum of money." |
| 34 | qst200208_msg0033 | 84 | "Once I have the cash, I'll come home."
That's what it said. |
| 35 | qst200208_msg0034 | 84 | But I haven't heard anything since,
so I don't know what happened... |
| 36 | qst200208_msg0035 | 84 | That's a bit worrying... |
| 37 | qst200208_msg0036 | 84 | Listen... I know it's not my place
to ask this, but... |
| 38 | qst200208_msg0037 | 84 | If my daughter's doing anything dodgy,
could you set her straight for me? |
| 39 | qst200208_msg0038 | 84 | Of course. I'll do whatever I can! |
| 40 | qst200208_msg0039 | 84 | If my burning heart of justice can't
set your daughter on the straight and
narrow, nothing can! |
| 41 | qst200208_msg0040 | 84 | Right. Let's head to the Old City of
Teddim and find this Harghal girl. |
| 42 | qst200208_msg0041 | 84 | Don't be too harsh on her, all right? |
| 43 | qst200208_msg0042 | 84 | I told you, I don't know or care where
that hussy might be! Now scram! |
