Welcome back, everyone!
Stiff and tired from the long bus ride, Yuki and her family finally arrive in their new internment camp called Topaz. Topaz has very dusty facilities, but Yuki and her family learn to cope with it, and one day, as Yuki and Emi look for artifacts in the Utah desert, Emi is diagnosed with tuberculosis. One day, as Yuki visits Emi in the hospital to give her a gift, Yuki has to brave a dust storm just to get back to her apartment. One fateful evening, as Yuki and her family meet up with Emi’s grandmother, Mr.Toda bursts into the room, shouting that Mr.Kurihara was shot! Mrs. Kurihara finds out her husband is dead, and Yuki, who has grown quite fond of him, pushes her best artifact she has found into Mr.Kurihara’s grave.
