xxxHolic 17 - Fake glasses^^
Yuuko was great this episode! We have in the beginning a customer of Yuuko’s shop, and they are just staring at each other. The clock goes ticktack and the atmosphere is too heavy. The next scene, we see a annoyed Wanatuki because he had to go to some station and open a lock, in that lock was a note: Fake glasses. He was so pissed, that it was great to see. He bought some fake glasses, in the cheapest place he could find.
He sees the woman of the shop at the stopsigns. It’s red, and a moped came by. The woman threw herself on the road, and got herself hit by the moped. Wanatuki panicked, called an ambulance, rode with her to the hospital and bought her some flowers. She throws them on the floor without a reason, and apologized for it. Wanatuki was worried about it and told Yuuko what happened. He told that the woman, Nurie, said that she has always done such a thing. That she deliberatly did what she shouldn’t do. Failing an exame, pressing a button when she shouldn’t do it and so on and so on. Yuuko told him to bring the woman to the shop, and tried to explain some behaviour of her. If you win 300 million yen, would you accept it?
The woman comes and says she wants to take control. After Yuuko knew that she was going to throw a cup of coffee to her, and stopped her. Instead of granting the womans wish, she just gives her the ’special’ glasses. Yuuko said that her feelings, if they are right or wrong, they are still your feelings. And they may be weird, but they are still yours. Happiness is for everyone different. If she wore the glasses, the woman would be in control to take the right step. Wanatuki wanted to protest because the glasses were so cheap as ever, but Yuuko didn’t let him and the woman left the shop. Yuuko explained the behaviour.
To get happiness, you have to deal also with sorrow. Those two things hold themself in balance. If you want to get up on a higher road, you must suffer also a lower part. The woman wasn’t stupid, she just wanted to protect herself from that lower part. To throw herself in front of a moped, so what? It was only a moped. If it was a truck, she wouldn’t do that! She just wanted to escape an important meeting because it was so stressing. Even if she got promoted. The woman did pay, she gave away her escape route. She can’t go escaping no more.
I liked this episode, Wanatuki was really great in it. Yuuko was even greater, if that was possible with her mysteries and so. Liked it very much! Yuuko is totally right with all she said. This was really an episode of which you can learn. I like that kind of episodes.
