Episode synopsis
Suzu (Matsumoto Honoka) wakes up to find herself in the Hojo household. Her whole body is covered in bandages and she cannot move. It feels like she is still dreaming. After a while, Suzu begins to understand reality. She had just left the air raid shelter when an unexploded bomb exploded, killed Harumi (Inagaki Raizumi) and injured her. Suzu is overcome by unfathomable despair and sadness. A few days later, Gozhong is hit by an air raid, and the area around the Hojo family home is also hit by incendiary bombs. Meanwhile, Shusaku (Matsuzaka Tori) , whose training has been canceled due to a change in the war situation, returns home. Shusaku congratulates Suzu, but seeing her husband's face, Suzu's tension eases and she collapses.
