«Until the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, he used to say that his wife was very understanding of his work and that she understood him best, and I thought they were a very happy couple. Mr. Miyano bought a house in the suburbs just before the pandemic, but also He had an apartment in Tokyo, where he often spent time alone, saying that he did not want to bother his family because “his schedule was very tight.”. Mr. Miyano is a very successful man, so everything may have changed after the COVID-19 pandemic», he commented on the matter.

- «Mamoru-chan, is this serious?».
- «Well, if he was so successful, it was obvious that he was doing so at the cost of abandoning his family.».
- «If it’s a divorce that makes Mamoru and his partner happy, I understand it. But I am surprised, there is no divorce that makes a child happy, it is not possible».
- «That? Is Mamoru-chan divorced? She was the kind of wife who was with him all the time and supported him in his difficult times, I don’t understand it».
- «I can’t say or think anything, I’m completely dumbfounded.».
- «Really? This is too much to take in».
- «I see, it is something that has been decided behind the scenes and that they will not share. It’s not our business, that’s what they mean».
- «When they got married they were difficult times and they continue to be difficult times today. A divorce at this moment leaves me with many doubts.».
