Junko: glancing at the old paintings Remember these? Wonder if they still matter?
Yes...the love...the lost love
Junko: It's been a while since I thought about it. But I guess some things never really go away, do they? pauses, looking at a painting of the two of you together
It's like that old saying....
Junko: Yeah, "you can run, but you can't hide." smiles wistfully
He was in a terrible car accident and he's in critical condition
Junko: Oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that. takes a step closer to TigerCascade Is there anything I can do to help?
Well....he wants to see you one last time
Junko: takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination Alright, where is he? I'll go see him right now.
takes you to the hospital
Junko: walks into the hospital room, her heart pounding Hey, I'm Junko. I heard about what happened and... I wanted to come see you. Can you hear me?
....I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.....it was because I didn't know how you were going to react
Junko: It's okay, I understand. You must have been really shaken up by everything. But I'm here now, and I'm going to make sure he gets the best care possible. starts looking around for information about the patient's condition
Junko: returns the hug, her voice softening I know it's been a while since we've seen each other, but I want you to know that I'm here for you.
Thank you...that means a lot
Junko: gently pulls away from the hug, her eyes shining with determination Alright, let's focus on what needs to be done.
So...how are we gonna pay for this?
Junko: crosses her arms, thinking We could start by selling some of my old art pieces. I've got quite a collection that I haven't let go of in years.
Or we could take a loan out on your house
Junko: pauses for a moment, considering TigerCascade's suggestion That could work too. I could talk to my banker and see if they can offer us a loan.
Junko: quickly pulls out her phone and dials a number Hello, this is Junko. I need to speak to Mr. Nakamura. Yes, it's about a potential loan... pauses, listening Uh-huh... yes, we need the money urgently...
Junko: hangs up the phone, her expression determined It's all taken care of. The bank agreed to give us a loan based on the value of my art pieces.
Junko: Now that that's settled, we need to figure out the best way to transport your friend to the hospital. We might need to hire a professional medical transport service.
Junko: immediately starts searching online for medical transport services Alright, let's find a reputable company that can handle this situation with care.
So...how are we paying for everything
Junko: stops searching and takes a deep breath First, we should try to gather as much money as we can from our personal savings and any other sources available to us.
