Hitomi was out in the back of the house telling three year old Kaen about stories of her past life when she lived in Konoha on how she also missed the friends she had made. When Souta came back from his travels to tell Hitomi that he had heard on his visit to the leaf that her daughter had passed away, he also said he did not get much information on the matter, only that her firstborn was gone. Hitomi would hug her son tightly like someone was going to steal him from her embrace tearing up. Souta had walked over to them both embracing them saying he will do his best to help her get through the tough time.
