There are, on occasions, times when Haruhiko's father has time to eat with them. If Haru's in the hospital, he'll hang his hat on the hospital room door and sit down for a family meal prepared on identical cafeteria trays; but when Haruhiko is at home, those are the high points of his year.

His father's stout, jolly, and he looks more Italian than Japanese; between him and his wife, it's remarkable that Haruhiko looks Japanese at all. He likes to cook, too, and when he's home Haruhiko will look up from his magazines and smile as he hears his parents jostling and bantering in the kitchen over the sound of the rice cooker's jumping. The rich smells of broiled fish and seaweed fill the house, and Haru's heart feels stronger already for having those scents in his nostrils and filling up his lungs.

He runs down the stairs, and his mother puts her hand over her heart, afraid the exertion will finish him off, but not even death could keep him from the dinner table.

They kneel on the mats, and Haru flushes with the steam of the soup rising into his face. He looks healthier then than he ever does, and his mother's hand is on her heart for a different reason now as he shovels away rice and talks about dinosaurs and science and his lovely dreams of the "pretty girl in the moon," as his father calls her.

Soon there will be a seismic shift in Haru's life. He will meet a man named Tamura who will become the full-time father he's never had. But right now, not knowing what that's like, Haruhiko is too fragile to be bitter. And these moments are bright gleaming rays of sunlight, treasures for all of them.
