A new school term has started, and parent-teacher meetings are on the horizon. At school, Yuta and Saki still have not told anyone that they are siblings. As their mother, Akiko wants to attend both meetings, but she worries it would expose their secret.
If it didn't have to be in person, 
you could've just messaged me.
،إن لم يكن بالإمكان فعل ذلك شخصيّاً
لكان بمقدوركِ مُراسلتي فحسب
Wenn du mich nicht zwingend dafür brauchst,
hättest du auch einfach schreiben können.
Podrías haberme mandado
un mensaje, no hacía falta vernos.
Podrías haberme mandado
un mensaje y ya está.
On aurait pu discuter
de la réunion parents-profs par SMS.
Se non c'era bisogno di vederci, 
sarebbe andato bene anche un messaggio.
Se não precisava ser pessoalmente,
poderia ter me mandado uma mensagem.
Если это не срочно, 
могла бы и написать.
