(One, two...)

Happy New Year!

My!

Happy New Year!

Itoko!

What's this? Are you alone?

Where's your father?

Eh?

Dad?

Didn't you know?

Your Grandpa's in remarkably good condition these days.

Is that right.

Yeah.

He'll say these absurd things though...

...and even now thinks that you're still a schoolgirl. Right?

Yeah. He thinks you're still fourteen or fifteen years old.

Eh?!

Grandpa!

Huh?

How old am I?

Huh?

You're thirty.

He knows.

He comes to his senses from time to time. It's good when he returns. Right?

No! That's my chestnut!

It's mine!

You've already eaten two, haven't you?

I haven't eaten that many, you fool Nee-chan!

What was that?!

All right, all right.

Don't fight.

It's mine!

Mine!

Get along while eating.

It's mine!

Mine!

All right. There's plenty, aren't there?

Hey! Stop that!

Did you know we have a mountain cottage up over in Himeji?

A mountain cottage?

My father built it as a resort for the summers...

We were thinking...

...of evacuating there for awhile.

Ah...

At our age...

...it will be very painful to leave this house though.

And your Grandpa's in his condition, right?

So doing such a thing...

...is scary for us though...

Well...

...I thought we could go to Himeji for a little while and pick the mountain flowers.

I see. That would be nice.

Will Isamu-kun go, too?

No.

I and Isamu will stay behind with the factory in Kobe.

That's right, Ito-chan.

They say since I have the title of Manager at the factory, I can escape being called up for duty.

The talk is that if I left the factory for Himeji, I'd be called up right away.

Ah...

Chiyo!

Eh?

Grandpa...

...Mom didn't come with us today.

Chiyo.

Come here.

He thinks you're Chiyo.

Never mind and hurry over to him. And say, "Yes!" to him.

Yes!

What is it, Gran...

Father?

Chiyo.

Huh?

Chiyo...

I feel so sorry towards Zensaku-kun.

Eh?

I told you from the start about him being...

...nothing but a poor, poor mere apprentice.

And...

...even I here, as I expected of her...

...Sadako did try and promote him to me as a son-in-law.

Ah...

Yet even so...

...I just couldn't bring him to my bosom.

He didn't have any abilities...

I was prejudiced towards such a good man...

I even hit him...

Don't worry about that...

Dad...

Such things wouldn't bother Zensaku-san any.

Say, Chiyo...

When you've returned home today...

...say a prayer for him from me at the family altar.

Say I...

Tell him his Matsuzaka father said, "Forgive me," there.

Okay, Chiyo...

All right.

I'll tell him.

He's only in his right mind here and there.

Take care.

Give Chiyo my regards. And to your Grandma and Shizuko and the rest.

Yeah.

Come again. With these daughters of yours.

Eh? Hey!

I wondered if I would ever see these people again.

So long.

Itoko...

You...

...must survive.

And absolutely, positively...

...show your face to us again.

Yeah.

Grandma...

...you stay healthy, too.

Yeah.

I found out the next morning from the newspapers...

...that B29s were, at that exact same moment, dropping incendiaries on the city of Osaka...

On Nagoya, Osaka and Hamamatsu 42 B29 bombers

...for the first time.

City Indiscriminately Firebombed

"The important characteristic of the incendiaries is that..."

Showa 20 (1945) January 4th

...from here on the enemy won't be considering bombing important factories or institutions...

...but will be indiscriminately fire bombing city areas.

What kind of bomb is an incendiary?

One that sets fires.

Like falling roses, they set fire to one house and then a building and then another and another.

Everyone was at last realizing...

...that the enemy would be doing such cruel things.

There!

Okay!

A hit!

And then around the town, fire prevention exercises started to be energetically performed.

Okay, a hit!

Good!

But even so, I wondered if such things would really work...

Do your best!

There!

A hit!

In the early morning of March 10th, the greatest air raid on Tokyo took place.

Showa 20 (1945) March 10th The Great Tokyo Air Raid

130 B29 bombers Attack Nagoya, Osaka and Hamamatsu

Showa 20 (1945) March 13th

Sensei?

This time around, Nagoya was fired on, as well.

Eh?!

Eh?!

"They'll come this time! A night assault on Osaka-Kobe"?!

They'll come this time! A night assault on Osaka-Kobe

Ehh?!?

What? What?!

Ehh... Will it be us next time?

I'm scared... Scared.

What should we do?

The air raid on Tokyo was the 10th. The one on Nagoya was the 12th.

Today was the 13th.

Don't cry. We can run away quickly, so it'll be okay.

Tonight?

Or tomorrow?

I wondered if they would really come.

The alarm!

Kyaa! Are they coming, are they coming?

I'm scared! I'm scared!

Hurry and run! Go to the air-raid shelter!

Tome-chan!

Go to the air-raid shelter!

Sensei, please wait. Tome-chan is...

Huh?!

She saying she won't run away!

Eh!?

Tome-chan! Tome-chan!

You guys head for the air-raid shelter first!

Go with Mom!

You guys go on first! Hurry and go!

Tome-chan!

I won't! I can't run!

Pull yourself together!

If you don't hurry away, you'll get burned!

I can't! I'm scared!

Sensei, hurry!

Tome-chan, stand up!

I can't! It's okay if I get burnt up!

I just can't run away!

Tome!

I'll stay.

Huh?!

I'll stay here with her.

"Stay with her"... You can't stay here; you have to run or get fried!

Don't cry, don't cry.

There's nothing to be worried about.

Ah, geez! Masa-chan, go on to the air-raid shelter first!

Hurry and go!

Have all of you run for it?!

We aren't running.

Whaa!

What are you doing?!

"I won't run, no matter what" is what this girl is saying.

What are you saying?! Run or you'll get fried!

Yeah...

Well, the fire would catch up with us even if we did run.

Huh?!

Sensei...

I'm very sorry, Sensei. I'll run away, too.

You'll go?

Yes!

Grandmother, let's not get fried!

Don't cry.

Sir, get going! We'll go, too!

Oh, oh.

You can't go east anymore. Go to the west!

All right!

Yeah!

Ah, that's right. I forgot Dad's mortuary tablet and photo!

Tome-chan, we need to pick up our pace!

Yes!

Still, it couldn't be helped. Forgive me, Dad.

If it's meant to be, I'll see you again.
