Chapter One

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ...

YOU CAN TALK?

TOMO?

DO IT AGAIN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

I DON'T KNOW. TELL ME ANYTHING.

HANA ...

YES, GRANDFATHER.

TOMO HAS SEEN MUCH, HANA. YOU SHOULD LET HIM TELL HIS STORY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S JUST NOT EVERY DAY YOU MEET A TALKING RACCOON.

YOU WILL NOT SPEAK WITH SUCH DISRESPECT ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT AND WHO TOMO IS.

I'M SORRY, TOMO. GO ON.

I STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY YOU ARRIVED, HANA.

"YOU HAD JUST LOST YOUR MOTHER IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

"YOUR GRANDFATHER JOU, THE ONLY FAMILY YOU HAD LEFT, BROUGHT YOU HERE, TO HIS DOJO IN SAN FRANCISCO.

"OF COURSE YOU CRIED. YOU HAVE LOST MUCH, HANA.

"YOUR FATHER DIED BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. AND YOU HAD LOST THE ONLY FAMILY YOU EVER HAD.

"BUT IT DIDN'T STOP YOU FROM TRAINING. IN FACT, THE TRAINING AND STUDYING HELPED YOU DEAL WITH THE SADNESS."
