H<strong>is</strong>ae wrings out her cloth, and O<strong>is</strong>hi begins to dress.<br />
OISHI<br />
What of my men?<br />
H<strong>is</strong>ae hesitates, fearing th<strong>is</strong> line of questioning.<br />
HISAE<br />
Scattered to the winds. Some<br />
fought. Others protested and were<br />
cut down. Eventually all were<br />

I heard Ryoichi now works a farm in<br />
Matsumae. Ayame says he’s happy.<br />
H<strong>is</strong>ae moves around to look in her husband’s eyes.<br />
HISAE<br />
We could be happy. We have a<br />
second chance, O<strong>is</strong>hi, we should<br />
take it. We can leave the village<br />
tomorrow and start a new life.<br />
Watch our son become a man. Grow<br />
old together. Is that not all we<br />
need?<br />
Her smile <strong>is</strong> heartbreaking. So filled with hope...<br />

realize for the first time that th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> not a broken man.<br />
And never was.<br />
INT. BEDROOM - LATE NIGHT<br />
H<strong>is</strong>ae wakes -- to find O<strong>is</strong>hi m<strong>is</strong>sing from bed. She r<strong>is</strong>es<br />
from the futon and makes her way to the window where she<br />
spies her husband sitting atop a low hill in the pre-dawn<br />
dark.
