Ichiro heard parts of the conversation the two young ladies were having although he tried to tune them out. It was impolite to eavesdrop, and he tried to focus on the story of the creation of the quetzalcoatlus.
He found it difficult to do and overheard that one of the young ladies was dwelling on the past - and also had forgotten memories. The words that the other woman offered were sound, and Ichiro was torn between not interrupting and offering words of advice and encouragement.
In the end, Ichiro stood and approached the ladies at their table. He bowed to them. Pardon my interruption. I could not help but overhear.
Ichiro spoke English well, but with an accent. He stood back up, and looked towards the woman who had lost memories. If I may offer some words, you're friend is right. Your past impacted who you are today, but only the present you can decide who you will be tomorrow, and as she said - your memory will return in time. To always focus on the past is to be like a boatman paddling against the current. It makes it difficult to go forward."
Ichiro gave her a smile and then bowed again. "Where are my manners? I am Yoshimura Ichiro. A brother from Osaka."
