Saying goodbye to my Wife

Daniel and his wife separate at the airport: she returns to Japan tomorrow, while he stays for his father’s March funeral. The goodbye is playful but sad, with accusations of Osaka boyfriends, compensation jokes, and Daniel acknowledging he is genuinely upset. At the airport hotel, they criticize missing toiletries but appreciate the runway view and share a final mixed-grill dinner with beer.

Bereavement changes their travel plan and makes his father’s former airport role newly painful.
