By looking at the mather face I think Ai and her mother feel really anger way to the father by losing all their saving and keep going to the mah-jong place.
Is Ai happy at home? Why/why not? How do we know this?
Ai is really not happy because she said that she want to run away from home that how I know by reading what she was saying.
How can we gather that Ai’s mother was angry as a result of her father staying out late again? (Refer to the image and text) The mother is even more angrier than she ever was because the dad keep on coming home late at night every day.
Where is Ai’s mother taking her and her brother? For what reason do you think her mother is doing this? Their mother is taking them to ever mah-jong place to look for the father because the mother is really angry at the father no matter what she say the father keep going

What will happen next that I think is that the mother will keep looking for the father if she fine the father I think that she will kill him.
