The 74th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi, was broadcast on January 15th. The scene where Toki's (Takaishi) childhood friend Sawa ( Wan Marui) visits his new home drew sympathy.
Sawa picks wild chrysanthemums and other flowers to make a bouquet, and visits Toki's new home. When she sees the beautiful flowers displayed at the entrance, she immediately throws the bouquet away.
Sawa commented on the Japanese sweets that were served, saying, "They're so delicious I feel like I'm being punished," and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't bring anything to celebrate." She then looked at Toki with envy and said, "But it's amazing. You get to eat all this food, live in a really nice house, and on top of that you're decorated with beautiful flowers, and the person you're with is a treasure of Shimane. You don't have to worry about anything anymore."
At that moment, debt collector Zentaro (Maehara Mizuki) shows up and angrily tells Toki and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) that he didn't know they had moved. Fumi then hands over 100 yen for this month's payment. Sawa looks surprised when she hears the amount.
Sawa, who had been watching the whole thing, said she was going home and ran off, ignoring Toki's plea to take it easy. When Toki chased after her, she muttered to him, "It was like another world," and left.
Voices of sympathy and support for Sawa's condition spread on social media, with comments such as, "It must be hard being in a different world, but considering Sawa's personality, it must be hard for her to hate herself for being so jealous of Toki," "When I think about how Sawa must be feeling...it's just heartbreaking," "I know how Sawa feels all too well. I almost cried when she threw the flowers away," "I hope Sawa, who is the kindest person in the world, finds happiness," and "Good luck, Sawa."
