** Really, just Kimie in the whole scene. She's just reclaimed her fallen family's remains and had to witness a random couple crying over losing the war that cost her, the couple, and everyone else in Hiroshima (And Nagasaki) to have suffered and lost practically ''everything'' they hold dear.

* The bullying the entire community dish out on the Nakaoka family is just plain petty and tragic. Imagine having to be persecuted over every little thing over voicing your pacifism again a war that led to not only you, but also your own kids and pregnant spouse to be harassed, assaulted, and in the case of poor Eiko, strip-searched by your own teachers over an obvious slander over an alleged theft. Is it any wonder why the last part ''pissed'' her father into going PapaWolf against all that wrong Eiko?
* Mr. Park tried to get his gravely injured father medical help after the bombing, but no doctor would see him, even when there's obvious open beds for him. When called out on this, Mr. Park is bluntly told to his face that he and his father don't deserve any help ''because they're Korean.'' It doesn't take long forMr. Park's father to pass on, leaving him extremely bitter towards Japan itself for such a ruthless discrimination to have literally kill his own father.

* Tomoko, whom Gen put his hopes on, dies of starvation when Kimie cannot make enough milk for her--shortly before the two boys come back with food. Gen breaks down, saying she should have waited and didn't say goodbye.

** Is it any wonder that Tomoko's death is arguably one of the most saddest moments to have happened in this entire story? The poor baby was literally born in the middle of a mini-nuclear holocaust, her father and two of her older siblings never stood a chance of meeting her since they died due to the bombing, was almost killed by a deranged woman mourning her own deceased baby (who thankfully snapped out of it and nursed Tomoko), and the manga she's is kidnapped by various strangers not showing concern when she gets sick. Gen promised his father right before he died that he would take care of his unborn sibling, [[AllForNothing only to loose her in the end]].
