No Secrets Between Us

The scene opens in Hiroshige's room, where Hirohige is waiting for his brother. He is surprised to see that the door is locked, and he asks why he cannot open it himself. He tells the boy that he is sorry that he has not been able to speak to him earlier. He says that he wants to talk to him, but he cannot because he is depressed. He asks the boy why he has to live so hard, and the boy says that everything is so trivial. He then asks if he should tell his mother he wants, and she says that she does not want to tell him. The boy tells him that he did not come to meet him because he could not reach him, and that he would not be able to run away from the room. He explains that he cannot tell his brother to make up because he has been holding him all this time, and it is not possible for him to convey what he has said. He also says that the actions he thought were right were not good for him, because he had not thought about whether they would be good for the other brother.
