Henry goes to visit Sheldon, as he does regularly, in the nursing home where Sheldon has been living his last days. He has brought a surprise for Sheldon—the Oscar Holden record that Sheldon gave him 40 years earlier as a birthday present for Keiko. Although the record is broken, Sheldon smiles at the memory.
The story returns to 1942. After his kiss with Keiko, Henry sneaks into Camp Minidoka and spends the evening in the Okabes’ house. They are thrilled but not too surprised to see him. In the morning Henry tells Keiko that he wants to sneak her out of the camp, and Keiko tells him not to ask her that because if he does, she just might go with him. Over breakfast, Mr. Okabe says that the Japanese internees have been asked to swear loyalty to the United States despite being interned and that many Japanese will be joining the US Army. Mr. Okabe himself is considering it. They also tell Henry that although conditions are better here than at Camp Harmony, they are still very much aware that they are prisoners. One internee was killed for trying to stop a construction truck.
