Shiki’s incredible. She turns the smallest ideas into complete clothes. She’s skillful, sensitive, and a hard worker. I think she had more talent than me. But I couldn’t find the right way to tell her. I really hurt her. You see, Shiki was worrying that she wasn’t good at designing clothes. So, I tried to downplay it. I said, “You’re not meant to be a designer. You’re a great seamstress, anyway.”  I wanted to apologize right away. I was going to say sorry first thing the next morning. But now… I can never see her again. The clothes I design only become real when Shiki makes them for me. So… I can’t do it without Shiki.
