TY: [Jpn.] By the way, your husband was associated with many other Japanese and was active in groups, wasn't he? You said earlier that he was a member of a baseball team and also played cards...

MK: [Jpn.] Yeah, that's right. Uh-huh.

TY: [Jpn.] Also other activities...

MK: [Jpn.] But, you know, the baseball team was a Japanese baseball team.

TY: [Jpn.] Yes.

MK: [Jpn.] It was not a mixed team with Caucasians. So all you see are Japanese faces.

TY: [Jpn.] You mean a photo?

MK: [Jpn.] Yeah. They are all Japanese.

TY: [Jpn.] I see.

MK: [Jpn.] They formed baseball teams among Japanese.

TY: [Jpn.] By the way, when you moved to Sunnydale, you were so busy that you didn't see other people very often.

MK: [Jpn.] No time for that. We were so busy. We didn't have enough time to sleep.

TY: [Jpn.] Wasn't lonely?

MK: [Jpn.] Huh?

TY: [Jpn.] Wasn't he lonely when his life changed so much?

MK: [Jpn.] No.

TY: [Jpn.] Not lonely.

MK: [Eng.] Uh-huh.

TY: [Jpn.] He must have considered it a new life.

MK: [Jpn.] Yeah. That's right.

TY: [Jpn.] I see.

MK: [Jpn.] Yeah.
