The 54th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi, was broadcast on December 11th. In the episode, Heaven's ( Tommy Bastow) sad past was revealed, causing heartbreak among viewers.
In episode 54, Heaven confesses his past to Rio (Kana Kita) and Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa). Heaven's story turns to his past marriage, and he reveals that he was once married to a woman and the mistakes he made.
Haven was fired from his job at the newspaper after marrying Martha (Misha Brooks), who has African-American roots. Feeling guilty, Martha slashed her landlord with a razor and was arrested by the police. Martha continued to do the same thing, and the two divorced. Haven confessed, "I gave up the place I wanted to stay forever with my own hands."
Heaven said, "I've stopped getting deeply involved with people. In any country, in any city, I'll just be a passerby... I won't get too involved with anyone. Not as a lover, a friend, or anyone. That's what I've decided," and turned down Rio's proposal, saying, "I'm sorry." Nishikori, who was interpreting for Heaven, had a complex look on his face, as if he was depressed and sad.
Comments on social media about Heaven's tragic past included, "It was so tragic I can't say anything," "Heaven's past is so painful," "How will Heaven-sensei end up with Toki-chan with such a past?", "Nishikori's expression of secret pain is exquisite," and "Nishikori's dejected back view is adorable."
