Here, some tea.
Ah... Thanks.
Have some tea.
- Oh. - Here.
Thank you.
"Shigeki-niisan was staring at the sky."
"Whether he was thinking about his flights or just staring at the sky..."
"...I didn't know."
"If he took things slowly; if he just took his time..."
"...I thought that someday his wounds would heal."
"The airplane factory my father had been working at was officially closed..."
"...so he was looking for new work."
"He regretted the many young men who..."
"...had lost their lives in the airplanes he had participated in creating."
"Until his death, my father wouldn't talk about airplanes again."
"All three of us felt the same way."
What is it?
Nothing.
I was just thinking about our family.
Yoko, you went and got married, didn't you?
What about it! Don't make it sound like I'm some outcast.
It's nice of you, Yoko, but you should return.
Not you too, Dad.
It's okay.
This is fine. I want to be here today.
"No, no, you must go."
"Yes."
"When they're damaged, men are no good."
"Men become useless. They become really weak."
"Ah..."
"And there's two of them, aren't there?"
"Whaa... Even more useless."
"If left alone, it'll get damp and moldy inside the Sudo home."
"Eh..."
"Men..."
"...are really useless."
"At such times, they're completely hopeless."
"That's when it's the woman's turn, Yoko!"
"Ah..."
"Um... There's a man here, you know."
"Men are useless."
"What was that!?"
"Right!"
"Shine on them brightly, Yoko."
"Well still, it's no good to be too strong about it."
"After all, look, if you shine too bright a light into their darkness..."
"...they'll be blinded by the glare."
"So in that case, bring just a little more brightness to them."
"Yes."
"Thank you very much."
"I'll be going."
"Yeah."
"Men are really useless at such times."
"Got that?"
"There were people who weren't coming back from the war..."
"There were people who were coming back wounded..."
"There were people who were still waiting for those who hadn't returned."
"But I was afraid."
"I didn't want to think it..."
"...but what would I do if Kazunari-san didn't come back?"
"I absolutely hated that thought."
"'Please, please let him return safely...'"
"...is all I thought every day."
Ah... Takeo-kun!
I have returned!
Ah... Welcome back!
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness!
You're great! Takeo-kun, you're great!
You did your best and you came back home!
Thank you very much.
Haven't you gone to your home yet?
Ah. I came here straight from the train station.
Ah, really...
Yoko, I have something to tell you. Please listen.
Ah, then I'll...
Ah, Natsuko-sensei, please stay, too.
With you here, I'll have courage.
Please.
Really?
Yeah, very well.
Ah, then come inside.
No...
...here's fine.
Yoko!
Yes?
I was fighting in North China all this time.
I saw many terrible places there...
...and there were many times where I was on the brink between life and death as well.
I had guys right next to me in the trenches who were shot to death.
But, I wasn't going to lose.
"You have courage," I kept telling myself.
I became stronger.
There was something I was far more afraid of then anything over there.
So back before, I didn't have the guts to say anything, but now I do.
So that's what I was living for and came back for.
Ever since we were kids, I've really liked you all that time.
Please marry me.
Please be my wife.
Please do this!
Eh?
Ah... Let's see...
Thank you, Takeo-kun.
No, no, no...
Ah... Takeo-kun.
Look, I'm...
Huh?
I'm...
I'm home.
Yeah. Welcome home.
Takeo...
Takeo!
Yo, I'm home.
When you say, "I'm home"...
You've come back?
You ain't a ghost?
What are you saying?
Ah...
Takeo!
Banzai!
Ma.
Eh, what is it? You have something to say?
I'm going to bed.
I hate war.
That's great about Takeo-kun, isn't it?
It is.
Here, Dear.
Had it tough, didn't he?
He did.
Tired, isn't he?
Takeo.
Shigeki-san.
Welcome back!
Ah...
Welcome back.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
"Showa 20, November (1945)"
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
"If Kazunari-san does return, how should I welcome him?"
"I thought about that every day."
"What sort of expression should I welcome him with?"
"I thought it best to smile."
"I wouldn't cry."
"What would I talk about?"
"What sorts of things should I talk to him about?"
"What should my first words be?"
Thank you for your hard work.
Welcome home.
Welcome home!
Ah...
"Demobilization to be completed in three years"
I'm home, Yoko.
Eh...
I'm back.
Ah...
What is it?
Ah...
Um... Um...
My...
...hip is...
Eh?
