娘が彼氏を連れて来るらしい。憂鬱の雨は弱まるどころか嫌な予感さえする。妻が先立って以来、絶っていたイイコの箱につい手が伸びてしまう俺をどうか許してほしい。

My daughter is bringing her boyfriend. I have a bad feeling that the rain of gloom is not only weakening but even getting worse. Please forgive me for reaching for the box of “Iiiko” that I have been abstaining from since my wife’s death.
