It’s been 8 years since Massan and Ellie have moved to Hokkaido. Japan is still deep in war with China.

One morning, Massan is eating breakfast as he reads the newspaper when Emma, who is now 15, comes in. She sees the articles in the paper about the war and complains that the war is still dragging on. After she leaves for school, Massan wonders if maybe Emma says a little too much of her own opinions but Ellie reminds him that they raised her to speak her mind freely.
