Passing by one gravestone after another with names and introductions carved on them, the ancestors of the Uesugi Family are located in the farthest left corner of the cemetery.
Uesugi Sakura scooped water from the small wooden bucket into a little depression in front of the gravestone, named "Water Receiving."
Grandfather Uesugi offered wildflowers picked along the way, and placed a prepared cup of sake in front of his father's name.
Then there was no other movement.
"Sakagawa, it's been so long, are you still angry?" Grandmother Uesugi said with hands folded, her eyes slightly open.
Grandfather Uesugi just looked at his father's name above and after a long silence said, "I will never forgive this man... No, abandoning family and children, he doesn't deserve to be called a man."
"When Rina and I were wrapped in straw raincoats in the snow, holding our mother and crying, we never saw this guy show up, nor did we know where he was."
