He was the second son so…
he said so.
他是第二个儿子所以没那么受重视…
他是这么说的
He used to say so,
but to my surprise,
他过去常这么说
但令我惊讶的是
about a month before he died,
when we were talking about many things.
大约在他死前一个月
我们谈起很多事情的时候
Until then, he resented that
his mother spoiled his brother,

he was grateful to his mother.
但后来他说，最终
他还是感激他的母亲
He said so.
And I said that was nice.

Until then, he was like
her punching bag.

都发泄在淳二身上
Well, so, I think
he was very patient.
于是我觉得
他很有耐心

I knew so. He said he had
different food from his brother.

Because I knew this,
I always thought of him first.

I don’t know if it was
good or bad to do so.

So anyway, he said this
about his mother.

just came out… It was nice.
