Before the Coffee Gets Cold Lesson Plan

Consider the following passage about Kazu, from “Mother and Child":

"This was how she treated everyone. Her cool disposition when handling customers wishing to go back to the past was her way of saying, 'Your reasons for going back to the past are none of my business.' But this was different. She had made a promise. She was encouraging Kei to go to the future, and her actions were having a direct influence on Kei’s future.
