I'm really not an organized person at all; among all the disorganized people you know or don't know, I'd be first, wouldn't I? Well, at least I've managed to be first at something in life! So, what are the punishments for being disorganized? Don't you think you've given me far more than what I deserved? Of course, you don't even have time to think about it. If you say I have more punishment coming, I'll come and take it myself, so you won't have to wade through knee-deep mud and water to come this way. Just let me know when you're free, and I'll come over. Lately I've been terrified of death. I feel like dying young must be written in my fate too. So before I take leave of this world, I want to settle all accounts. If you give me the punishments you've saved up, your side of the ledger will be clear; and when I return after receiving my punishment, I'll leave a bundle of pure white tuberose at your feet—that will settle my side too... I know you won't even touch those flowers, your help will throw them away the next day. But I'll still give them. If I can't give you tuberose one last time, I'll die with a chest full of regret!
More Painful Than Punishment
