He takes with him a baseball that Komako is sure will protect him. As she waits for his return, Komako tries to keep her students together and studying as best she can. Word soon comes though, that Masao has been killed in action, along with relatives from other families on the island.

So now Komako has the difficult duty of trying to give her disillusioned students something to believe in again.
