There is a major difference between the small landowner who tries to survive and the keiretsus, who abuse their power to obtain more power. Do not believe me to hate all men, doctor. I just hate those who see me as inferiour and wish to treat me as less than I am. Mariko stood up and walked closer to the window to look outside.

"There have been three planets I visited. Kyushu, Junyo and New Tokyo. I was born on Kyushu, where I had my training as Geisha. I later lived in New Tokyo for a while with my sister. I do not like it there, much to crowded for my taste. I prefer a more quiet place, where I can spend my time writing poetry or playing music. New Tokyo is completely devoid of inspiration for me. Junyo served as my escape from society for a while. It is where I composed a new music piece 'Taiyō no Heiwa', which translates to 'peace of the ocean'"
