Having heard that General MacArthur sometimes assists Japanese citizens in need, Fumi enlists Aya to compose a letter in English asking him for help. Corporal Matt Matsumoto, a Japanese-American working for the Occupation forces, is entrusted with the safe delivery of Fumi's letter; but Fumi, desperate for answers, takes matters into her own hands, venturing into the Ginza with Aya in tow...
