“What makes Naoko such a hard case for you?”
“Probably because I like her so much. I think my emotions get in the way and I can’t see her clearly. I mean, I really like her. But aside from that, she has a bundle of different problems that are all tangled up with each other so that it’s hard to unravel a single one. It may take a very long time to undo them all, or something could trigger them to come unravelled all at once. It’s kind of like that. Which is why I can’t be sure about her.”
She picked up the basketball again, twirled it in her hands and bounced it on the ground.
“The most important thing is not to let yourself get impatient,” Reiko said. “This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don’t get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can’t do anything, don’t get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it’s ready to come undone. You have to realise it’s going to be a long process and that you’ll work on things slowly, one at a time. Do you think you can do that?”
“I can try,” I said.
“It may take a very long time, you know, and even then she may not recover completely. Have you thought about that?”
I nodded.
“Waiting is hard,” she said, bouncing the ball. “Especially for someone your age. You just sit and wait for her to get better. Without deadlines or guarantees. Do you think you can do that? Do you love Naoko that much?”
