In that case, Jasmine-san is...
...that baby from back then?
What's wrong?
I think she's going to give birth. You'll be okay.
John-san, hurry and get the car.
Yes. I'll get the car.
It'll be okay.
Amy-san, it'll be okay.
Sumire.
Can you make something for her?
She's asking if you could make something for the baby.
Something that she would love her entire life.
Something that she can pass down to her daughter.
Ah... A dress!
Could you make a dress for her?
For when this baby becomes a mother herself someday...
Something she could wear and then give to her own daughter when it is born...
She says she wants you to make some clothes this baby could cherish her entire life.
Please let me do that!
Yes!
"After I was born, we returned to America right away..."
"...so I have no memories of the time when I was in Japan."
"But my mother often spoke about Sumire-san."
"It made me think about the baby dress I had inherited from my mother."
The feelings Amy-san has of wanting to pass something down to her daughter...
I feel they're the same feelings my Mother had when she passed this dress down to me.
With this burnt dress that was passed down to me...
...I feel I'll be making a treasure for that baby.
I will tell her this story.
Despite the hard times, you made this beautiful dress for us...
...and we will treasure it... forever.
We will tell this to our daughter.
That it was you who made this. And we will treasure it.
From the bottom of my heart... thank you.
My Mother passed away last year.
And I became a Mother this year.
Now I feel like I can understand how much love was put into the dress Sumire made for me.
And how much my Mother loved me.
"My Mother has passed away. When my daughter was born..."
"...I felt I could really understand..."
"...just how much love Sumire-san..."
"...had put into the making of that dress."
"And I could also feel the love my Mother, who passed away last year, had for me."
"Sumire-san, I truly thank you."
"I just had to give you my thanks."
"This time I will be entrusting the one-of-a-kind dress that you made..."
"...to my own daughter."
That angel's dress...
Grandma!
Ai, welcome back.
Let's go home together.
Yeah.
You mustn't go to sleep in a place like this again.
Yes.
It's a beppin, isn't it?
Want to see it too, Ai?
This dress...
Ah... that's right.
Grandpa and Grandma...
Photos are amazing...
That's true, isn't it? I think photos are amazing, too.
That someone can cut out just a moment of their happiness or a moment of their joy...
...and then keep it for the rest of their lives.
And with them, you can come to feel for a person you will never meet.
From just one photo, you can receive so many thoughts and feelings.
I've never really looked at them.
They were always just there...
Ai... come with me for a bit.
Here.
A present for you, Ai.
Eh? Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
That camera...
...was bought by the company as a memento for my service to the company, so it can be yours.
Thank you!
Yeah.
Take good care of it, okay?
Yeah!
Ah... I'll teach you how to use it.
Ai.
Ai, it's dinner. C'mon, Ai. It's dinnertime.
Ah... that's nice.
Huh?
Norio-san, do you like bentos?
Huh? Hmm...
Well...
You do.
Ah... in that case, along with the bento I make every day for Ai, I'll make a bento for you, too.
Thank you.
It's about time she woke up.
Ah, you're right.
Ai. It's time for you to wake up.
Ai.
Good morning.
What's this?
Ah... Ah... What is this?!
Ai, wake up!
Ai! Ai!
What is this all about?!
What's the matter? Yelling this early in the morning...
Ah...
Why would you do such a thing...?
