What then?

THE GAKI

See!

[He points to the road. Aoyagi looks in that direction as The Gaki disappears. Riki comes in. Occasionally one may hear a bit of a lullaby sung in the old cracked voice of Obaa-San:

See, baby, see
The ears of the wolf are long;
Sleep, baby, sleep,
Your father is brave and strong.

Riki is a poet, young, free, romantic. He faces Aoyagi a little moment as though a wonderful dragonfly had poised above his reflection in a pool.

RIKI

You are she!

AOYAGI

My—who—are—you?
