Private First Class Tsugio Terajima says that he was never sent an inquiry and tells Sakie how Sgt. Togashi saved his life in 1943 in the fight against Americans and Australians in New Guinea by defying orders and telling the men not to proceed into an obvious trap, then again in 1944 by telling him to flee a sick camp when he learns of a plan to kill the sick. Terajima now lives in a Korean shanty town and is unwilling to visit Tokyo to testify. Corporal Tomotaka Akiba, now an actor playing a comedic caricature of a Japanese holdout on stage, tells Sakie that he remembers a sergeant being shot for stealing potatoes from the military supply, but is not certain if it was Sgt. Togashi. Military Police Sergeant Nobuyuki Ochi, now blind from drinking postwar black market booze known as "bomb", tells Sakie that he remembers a sergeant killing soldiers to eat and sell their meat, but is not certain if it was Sgt. Togashi.
