It was said that Grandma Haruko passed away. In the second month after the news of Obito's death arrived, consumed by grief, she died at home on a bright morning, still holding the yukata Obito used to wear. It was a tragedy for an elder to bury someone younger, and she had done it twice.
Hiatohi went to see Grandma Haruko off on her final journey. She thought that in that other world, Grandma Haruko would surely live a good life together with Brother Obito. There was already too much sorrow in this world, so in that other world, she should just follow her heart and do whatever she wished.
She began to learn to be strong, and to learn to face each day with a smile. Only, perhaps sometimes a person cannot have everything, nor can they obtain all they desire.
