It is okay Sadako-san. When New Year comes we'll have thousand cranes.

*With that the video comes on. The first thing you see is colors. Beautiful colors - reds, blues, and yellows folded neatly into an angular paper bird ready to take flight. There are dozens, no, hundreds on them piled in a neat stack

Honda-san? ...Do you want some help?

Thank you for the offer, but I'm afraid I'll have to do this alone.

Well, okay. Don't overwork yourself, though. Sadako-san wouldn't like that!

*A little start. He ... He wonders if that would be true.*

... You, really think so?

Well yeah! I'm sure she wouldn't want you get sick or anything just because you're working too hard.

[nippon_ga_yo]

Maybe so. But ... I think she would hate me, just a little bit.

[meat_gum]

...For what? It's great that you're even doing this for her.

... You do know who Sadako Sasaki is, right Chie-san?

Re: [Video]

[meat_gum]

Yeah. I dunno about you, but I'd feel honored if my country was folding cranes for me. I think Sadako-san would feel the same.

*He looks to his side again and Sadako just smiles, tugging his sleeve gently*

... Thank you Chie-san. I think that's all I needed to hear.

No problem, Honda-san. Glad I could help a little.
