One year later. He still cannot talk to his silent wife. He visits her and sits with her, mute for hours. Later he walks alone under the pier and speaks to the emptiness. "Jun Ho, I am thinking I will leave for a while to find my young brother in America. You will not know I am gone. I will return before you know it. I will have our brother with me, and surely that will cheer you." Whatever he says he gets the same response.
