That book brings back memories.
He would read that one a lot.
"Hold the Sun in Your Heart," huh?
That reminds me, Haruki said something one day.
About how old was he then?
How old was he when your mother passed away?
When he said, "I envy Yoko."
Me?
"Because the 'Yo' in 'Yoko' comes from the 'Yo' in 'Taiyo' (the sun)..."
"...Yoko's had the sun in her heart ever since she was born."
"Why didn't you name me..."
"...'Yoichi' or 'Yosuke' instead," he asked.
It was rare for him to speak that way.
Ehh...
It seems he seriously envied you.
Haruki was a good guy.
I...
...loved him both as my eldest son...
...and as a man.
He was a fine man.
I take...
I take pride in that.
That I had a man named Sudo Haruki in my family...
I take pride in that.
Right, Yoko!
So...
...stop your weeping.
It doesn't suit Haruki.
Right!?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes!
Be careful so that no light leaks out!
There!
- Dad. - Huh?
This bowl is the one, right?
Yeah. Correct answer!
I thought so.
- You're getting used to our kitchen. - Yes!
Yoko.
Yes?
It's best not to force yourself.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
But...
"But"?
But...
My Dad told me I should stop my weeping.
I see. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
Thank you very much.
"Sun in Your Heart."
- Those are good words. Right! - Yes.
Okay!
Then let's cheer ourselves up and get going!
For Haruki-san's sake, too.
Yes.
Hey, the Suidon, the Suidon! (flour dumplings boiled in soup)
Yes.
"Hold the Sun in Your Heart"
Such a nice young man, too...
So true.
Regrettable, isn't it?
Regrettable.
Yeah...
Sudo-san must be despondent.
Well, he won't show it though.
That's true.
Will we win this war?
We have to win it, right?!
That's true.
Kazunari...
I wonder if he's okay?
The Sun in Your Heart!
Yes!
"Hold the Sun in Your Heart"
"What did Mom tell you?"
"What did she say you should do during painful times or sad times?"
"To smile..."
"Correct answer!"
Sensei, goodbye!
Goodbye!
Hey, no running!
- Yes! - Yes!
Ikuko.
I heard from Machiko about Haruki-san.
Ah... yeah.
Is Machiko-san doing okay?
She doesn't seem okay, but she's more worried about you.
Yeah.
Yoko, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm the same as you.
Huh?
I'll have to live for Haruki-niisan's part, too.
Yeah.
Miss... you have guests.
Come in.
Sorry for coming so suddenly.
Right now is...
It's not good. We know that.
Thank you.
Look, Machiko-san.
Before he went to the front, Haruki-niisan stayed over with me in Matsumoto.
He told me this that evening.
"I was always the honor student. So I'm a boring guy, aren't I?"
I'm certain that after losing his mother early...
...and having to deal with a younger brother and sister...
I feel he must have always been thinking, "I have to be steady..."
And yet I never heard him selfishly asking for anything.
I see...
But...
He told me, "This is my final act of selfishness."
Selfishness?
Yes.
"If you find out I won't be returning from the front..."
"Machiko-sama"
"Give her this..."
"I want you to give this to Machiko-san."
Will you accept it?
For me?
Yes, for Machiko-san.
"I'll tell her about my feelings," he said.
"To Machiko-sama"
Please keep my brother alive in your heart, Machiko-san.
Please.
I will certainly... accept it.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. shouldn't be the one crying.
It should be the reverse...
The reverse...
What are you saying?!
It's okay.
It's okay for Machiko-san to cry.
I'm sorry.
Why...
Why are all these sad things occurring?
We'll definitely...
The three of us will definitely live long lives.
For all those who died...
...we'll live as long as we can, no matter what!
Definitely!
The three of us together!
Yeah!
It'd be betrayal if we part. Ladies of the Blank Sheet Alliance!
Yes!
"Showa 20, August (1945)"
"Showa 20, August."
"It was a hot summer."
It's said Hiroshima was hit by a bomb.
A bomb?
It's said it was a new type of bomb...
...and that the entire city was wiped out in one shot.
No...
No!
Definitely no!
