Don't go too far!
Don't worry!
The weather is so nice.
It's rare that we get to go out like this.
The weather really is nice.
Maybe I should take advantage of it and go for a game.
-You mean golf? -Yes.
Please, not today.
This may be the last time we go out
if Setsuko gets married.
You're right.
But why wouldn't we go out again before she marries?
You're always too busy.
Why does she just grin without saying anything?
You mean Setsuko?
I was the same at her age.
Times have changed, though.
Should I go ahead?
Sure, I suppose it's alright.
It certainIy is nice weather today.
Do you remember?
What?
Remember how we ran to the air-raid shelters
when the planes came during the war?
Setsuko had just started grade school.
Hisako was a toddler.
In the dark, we used to think we might all die together.
I remember.
I hated the war,
but sometimes I miss those days when we were all so much closer.
Don't you?
No, those were the years I hated the most.
We had nothing of value. We were surrounded by arrogance.
Right, but, for me, those were good days.
We were always together, all four of us.
Are you complaining because I've been coming home late?
No, it's not that.
But we don't even get to have supper as a family anymore.
It gets busier at work everyday.
But there are more comforts we're able to enjoy.
Even so.
What are you saying?
Forget it.
