All I Asking for is My Body Part II Dialogue

Kiyoshi belives Obanan is a substitute for his mom, because of the supersititions that he picked up from his mom.  Kiyoshi's mother was more superstitious than most others on the plantations that they had lived on.  Superstitious about everything, whether it be about cutting and cooking food before the New Year, or scooping two scoops of rice into each bowl for protection.  Kiyoshi never wanted to believe the superstitions that his mother often spoke of, mainly because his father so easily put them off and had the attitude that luck comes and goes, whether it be bad or good.
As Kiyoshi's mother began to get sick, she began telling him of more superstitions that she believes in, mainly superstitions about death.  When his mother tells him of Bachi, Kiyoshi begins to believe in his mother's superstitions, and he believes that the Bachi will take her life.
Once Kiyoshi spoke with Obanan, his fears were confirmed, his mother was soon to die.  Sure, Obanan told Kiyoshi that it was possible to have the Bachi passed onto someone else, but Kiyoshi didn't think that would happen.  The next day, as Kiyochi's father walked in the class, he was sure that he was about to hear the worst news possible.  But when he heard that it was Obanan who had passed, he had realized that the Bachi was passed on to her.  Since the story played out how it did, Kiyoshi had no choice but to believe in the Bachi superstition, because it played out exactly how he was told it could play out.
