Going to Dad's hometown near the sea.
Lucky you.
The other way?
You kids shouldn't smoke.

What about Classes?
Better get serious,
Or you'll end up like him.
Hey, Masao! Why so early today?
School's out?
Vacation starts tomorrow.
Your grandma fine?
What a gloomy kid!
We used to be neighbors.
Lives with his grandma.
And the parents?
Don't think he has a father.
And the mother?
Think she's working elsewhere.
Ran off with some man, huh?
You talking about your mom?
Hell, yours married 3 times!
Lay off my mother!
Same goes for mine, damn it!
Masao...
What are you doing here?
There's no practice in summer.
Little mule.
It's summer vacation.
Go to the beach. Have some fun!
What are you saying?
You know your father died in an accident.
Then what about mom?
You know she's far away. Working hard just for you.
So you must study hard.
When you grow up, you can go anywhere you want.
Hurry, eat your breakfast.
I'm off to work. Be a good boy.
