Masaya Kusakabe
- Masako, Atsumi's wife: Do I have to just give Shigeko up to that woman?
- Masaya Kusakabe: Don't give up so easily. Right now you're the only mother Shigeko knows. I'll find her. Just take heart and be patient.
- Masaya Kusakabe: If Shingeko took to you without hesitation, I'd try to convince Masako to give her up right now. But I think it's raising a child, not giving birth to one, that makes a woman a mother.
