This certificate was found in the safe standing in the family home ruins around August 11. The blast utterly collapsed the house, trapping beneath it Junichi's mother Tsuneko, his younger sister Yoko (then, 15), his grandmother Chise, and his uncle Chiyozo Kagawa. Tsuneko and Yoko somehow scrambled out, but Chise and Chiyozo died instantly and their house was quickly consumed. Yoko walked around the city looking for her older sister Tsuyako (17), who had left for her mobilization site and disappeared. When she learned where Tsuyako had been taken in, she rushed there only to watch her die. Yoko cremated her sister's body alone.
