Momoko: If you like something, take it. If it makes you happy, do it. Humans always betray each other.
Ichiko: Really?
Momoko: Not really.
Momoko voice over: Thus Ichigo’s first love ended. She showed no emotion. She kept it tightly inside. That was her way.
Ichiko: Hey Momoko…”women shouldn’t cry in public”
Momoko: Mmm. But out here we’re alone.
Isn’t that what they call love?
Momoko: That’s when she met Akimi.
Akimi: What’s wrong? What are you hiding? Everyone’s got a problem. There’s always pain. It’s OK to cry but women can’t do it in public. Otherwise everyone would break down so only cry alone. It makes you stronger.
Momoko summarizing Ichiko’s encounter with Akimi leader of the girl bike gang, The Ponytails: Ichiko aged 14. Her life changed in high school. As a young girl, her life was not that of a Yanki. She was fairly slow and the shyest in her class. She was bullied by her classmates. Filled with self-hate and frustration.
