...but you're really trying your hardest.
So you should feel pride, Yoko.
"Naval Flight Preparatory Training Course"
About that promise you made to me the other day?
Eh?
That you'd be on my side.
Yes...
I'll ask for it right now.
Right now?
- C'mon, hurry! - Eh? Ah...

This is so sudden.
Never mind that and hurry!
What is it?
I need to talk to you.
Yeah.
I'm home!
Haru-niisan?
Welcome home.
I'm home!
Welcome back.
I have returned home.
Why are you here so suddenly?
Tomorrow's Sunday and nothing's scheduled, so I just wanted to see all of you.
You're just in time.
Huh? For what?
I see. I appreciate your hard work.
Dad, are you still the same?
Yeah, same as ever.
I'm glad of that.
"To be honest..."
"...I still had a lot of things swirling around in my head..."
"...about what I had heard from my Grandmother concerning my mother that day."
"That my mother had wanted to become a teacher."
"That as a young woman she had left her family for the sake of love."
"That she was who I was the daughter of."
"That my Grandmother had once tried to take charge of Shigeki-niisan."
"That the young Haruki-niisan had risked his life to stop it."
"Moreover..."
"...at any rate I was just so confused I couldn't put things in order so quickly."
Oi, Yoko! Isn't it ready yet?
Hurry and get back here!
Yes!
Hurry! Hurry and sit down.
Yes.
What is it, Yoko?
Do you have a fever? You look a bit out of it.
Don't worry, it's nothing like that.
That's just Yoko's usual "out-of-it" look.
What was that? How rude! Isn't that yourself?
Why's that?
The other day after all, while eating breakfast you were practically asleep.
You got startled when you nearly burnt your nose in the miso soup.
- Really? - It's true!
It certainly true that between the two of them...
...Shigeki's the one most out of it, huh?
You don't have to say it's the both of us.
It's just impossible for a guy like that to join the Navy like that, just impossible.
Eh? Ah!
Ahh... I'm sorry, Shige-niichan.
I'm sorry!
What are you doing, geez!?
And here I had gone to a lot of trouble being cool so I could say the...
"Dad, we need to talk. Truth is, I..." talk.
I'm sorry.
It's okay already.
This makes me feel a little easier.
Truth is, I was pretty tense.
I'm sorry.
That's what this is about, Dad.
I'd like to take the exam to become a trainee for the Naval Flight Preparatory course.
Will you give your permission?
Here's the application.
"Navy Volunteer Application Form"
Please!
Ehh... Shige wants to be an airplane pilot, huh?
Yeah.
I see. You've loved them ever since you were a child.
Yeah.
Tell me why you've been considering this, Shigeki.
Yes.
Ever since I was little...
...I always felt useless...
...compared to my superior brother.
But...
...before Mom passed away, she told me...
"Shigeki..."
"...you are a boy with very strong feelings."
"I don't ever want to see you..."
"...abandoning that along the way."
"So... throw out your chest."
"You are..."
"...a very good man."
I see.
Yes.
Thanks to that, I wanted an ambition of my own.
I have Mom to thank for that.
And so, I considered a whole lot of things.
I gave a lot of thought about my life.
What was it I could do...
...and how I could help the world...
...the way Haruki-niisan is going to be saving lives as a doctor...
Yeah.
And so I came to think about this.
That I'd become a soldier in order to protect the country.
That'd mean I'd be protecting this house...
...and Dad and Niisan and Yoko, too.
If I could do that, it would be a wonderful thing somehow.
I see.
Yes.
"I thought as I watched Shigeki-niisan, that he was amazing."
"But somehow..."
"...as I reflect on Haruki-niisan and Shigeki-niisan back then in their youthful days..."
"...my heart still aches even now."
"'You don't need to live such upright lives,' I felt like telling them."
Very well.
Please... do your hardest for the sake of the country.
Yes! Thank you very much!
You did it, Shige!
Yeah!
Yoko!
Shall we celebrate?
Yeah!
However, Shigeki.
Yes?
You do realize just how difficult this exam will be, don't you?
Ah, that's right.
Eh? Oi!
Shall we have the celebration after he passes?
Well, we should.
Hey!?
Will you get through it okay?
Yes.
I'll do my best, even if it kills me.
Yeah.
"Navy Volunteer Application Form"
Shigeki...
...says he wants to join the Naval Flying Corps.
This is that Shigeki, Hiroko.
You live on, Hiroko.
Through this family...
...you live on.
Please... for Shigeki.
Please watch over him.
Mom, you wanted to become a teacher, huh?
Yoko, are you up?
Yes. Come in.
How's Shige-niichan?
Now that the tension's gone, he's sound asleep.
He's always like that, isn't he?
Still, I was surprised by Shige.
He's all grown up.
Have you been healthy, Yoko?
Ah, yes.
I see.
- Kawahara, too. - Eh?
I invited Kawahara to come along with me, too.
But that guy got hurt, so he couldn't.
Eh? He's hurt?
He was playing baseball with some friends at the dorm...
...but he got overenthusiastic and sprained his foot.
I see. Is he okay?
He's lively.
I see.
Then that's good.
"Just hearing his name again..."
"...I gave up that I was going to forget all about Kawahara-san."
Are your friends... doing okay?
Ah, Machiko-san and Ikuko?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're fine.
Really.
Yeah.
Um... Yoko, here.
Would you give this to Machiko-san?
"Poetry of Heian"
To Machiko-san?
Yeah. I thought she might like these.
Ehh... I see.
All right.
That was all. Good night!
Good night.
"Poetry of Heian"
"I knew."
"That Haruki-niisan liked Machiko, too."
