One day something terrible happened in the family. That morning , Yukia is the only member of the family in the house who is still sleeping , Machi is in the hallway with his father . She just heard bad news .

Machi : No...No ! I can't believe it ! He can't go like that ! Not even today !

Father Gentaro tried to console her .

Gentaro : I know , sweaheart...Me to , i don't want he leave us .

Yukia is half awake , she heard the conversation of her sister and her father , but she does not understand what is happening . A bit later .

Machi : Mom ? Why God do not healt uncle Chomei ?

Wakina the mother did not really know how to explain , she still tried to tell her .

Wakina : I don't know . Maybe there others reasons .

Yukia enters her sister's room , she finally understands what's going on . She isolates herself in her room . This news upset her , as if the earth stopped turning . She is also shocked by all the prayers she and her family made every day , night , week and month for her uncle to recover from his cancer...The prayer i never answered . It is 9:26 am , the father of the family receives the visit of his parents . Their faces express that the real terrible is coming into the house . In fact , they came to tell him . The sobs of Yukia's father made her hear her and her sister who are in their respective rooms , Machi rushed into the dining room running . When she entered the room , she saw her father crying .

Machi : What ? What is going on ?

Gentaro : He's gone !

All the memories of her uncle come to the surface of all his memories . At Machi's first day of work , her uncle was proud of her - My niece ! Glad to see you working in this school ! I hope your parents were very happy that you are finally working ! " At the summer vacation camp for the religious pilgrimage , her uncle often used to bring coffee to his brother the fourth morning and he always said - "Hello , Machi ! Is your father awake ? I bring him coffee . " And another memory , Machi who was trying to smoke , Chomei had surprised her - Aha ! You smoke ?! Put it down right now ! I'm calling your parents ! . And one last memory of him , Machi visited him in his hospital room . Even sick , Chomei was always a happy man - "Hello, my niece ...". Machi also started to cry and she was screaming .

Machi : Goodbye uncle Chomei ! Rest in peace !
