oh the amount of resentment i have for the mother. "i can raise him however i want. i'm his mother, after all. i gave birth to him. he's my flesh and blood. don't you get it? i gave him all the love a boy could ask for. i can raise my own child however i see fit. why is that a problem? he's my son." poor shuhei. aya : "you said you did it all by yourself. you shouldn't lie." shuhei : "why not? everything about my life has been wrong anyway. but is it wrong to love my mother?" ... still a good movie tho.
