the realtionship between mikage and yuichi
...heir apartment. Mikage and Yuichi are able to communicate beyond words, he instinctively knows that she needs a place and offers it without any hesitation. They can also communicate telepathically together. This happens when they share a dream and Yuichi tells Mikage not to move out. “But for now leaving would be wrong. You don’t have anyone but me who can tell you that” (37). Yuichi communicates to Mikage through her dream convincing her not to move out because he knows that she isn’t ready for it. She also dreams that Yuichi wants ramen noodles, and when she wakes up, in reality, Yuichi also wants ramen noodles. “Here in my favorite place, I suddenly thought: ramen! What a coincidence!” (40) They can truly communicate beyond words and with their minds. Each knows instinctively what the other wants. Mikage and Yuichi are able to communicate and understand each other which is important in developing a strong bond. Beyond the communication, they also trust each other completely. Mikage and Yuichi’s relationship is very strong because they are able to fully trust each other. At first, when they barely know each other, Mikage accepts to go live with Yuichi and Eriko. “I felt I could trust him. In the black gloom before my eyes, I saw a straight road leading fro me to him.

In the dream that they share together telepathically, she feels that she can trust him when he tells her not to move out. “He looked me straight in the eye and he spoke for all the world with the sincerity of someone trying to persuade a murderer to turn himself in” (37). She sees that he’s communicating through the dream with a lot of sincerity and that’s why she feels that she can trust him. After Eriko’s death, she only has Yuichi, but she still feels secure because she trusts him. “But for the time being, ‘just the two of us’ was a warm, safe place where the future was on hold” (62). Mikage feels that being with Yuichi feels very secure and that’s why she trusts him and they are able to share a strong bond. Even if they don’t each other very well at the beginning, they are immediately able to trust each other and form a special relationship. Mikage and Yuichi love each other and that is why they have a great relationship and a strong friendship. Even though Yuichi has waited four months to tell Mikage that Eriko is dead, she still goes to see him and feels happy to see him.” In spite of myself I was glad. In the inn...
