Chapter 12

• Hojo Masako slowly nodded and glanced at Hangaku, that was still talking with Tomiko and Takechi before continuing, “I could be wrong, but I suspect you are even more interesting than everybody thinks, and when she knows you better, she will not leave you alone, if she likes what she finds out. She is sweet, and she always puts all her strength and heart into her relationships. At least, try not to hurt her…"
• “No one ever accused me of hurting a woman. I never did such a thing, actually. I am more worried about her hurting me!"
• Sakamo ate the last bit of his cake, thinking that Hojo Masako was quite interesting because even with her calm and serious look, she seemed like someone that really appreciated her friends and cared about them.
