Saizo: Shigure... Painting again, I see.
Shigure: Oh, hello, Father... I'm sorry. I know that I shouldn't be creating art with us being at war and all.
Saizo: You must show restraint, Son. In times of war, we must set aside our passions to be selfless, understand? This isn't a reflection on your art. Anyone can see that you're quite talented.
Shigure: Th-that means a lot. Thank you. I can't help feeling a bit embarrassed.
Saizo: Hmm... If only there was a way to make your art benefit everyone.
Shigure: What do you mean?
Saizo: Wait... That's it! I have an idea. You will hold a solo exhibition.
Shigure: An exhibition? I could never do such a thing! Our troops are on the march. The setup alone would be too much trouble!
Saizo: No, Son, it doesn't need to be a pretentious affair. Quite the opposite. We'll reserve a tent and announce it to the troops and nearby villagers.
Shigure: B-but it feels wrong to reserve a whole tent just for myself.
Saizo: This isn't for personal use. Artwork can bring peace and joy to the weary hearts of everyone in town. Your paintings can make a serious difference in our community.
Shigure: I don't know, Father...
Saizo: By doing this, you can share your talent and make everyone in town happy. For one night, they won't have to think about the war. I won't force your hand, of course. What do you think?
Shigure: O-OK, Father... I suppose it's worth a try. But I'd be lying to say that it didn't make me a bit anxious.
Saizo: Don't be. I have a good feeling about this. I'll start our preparations straightaway. See you soon, Shigure.
(Saizo leaves)
Shigure: Yes... Thank you, Father.

Shigure: Greetings, Father.
Saizo: Oh, Shigure. Did you need something?
Shigure: Uhh, not exactly. It's just that you've done so much to make this exhibition a reality... I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate those efforts.
Saizo: Now, Son, don't give me too much credit. I simply asked around for help. The townsfolk were eager to cooperate. Hold your head high. Everyone is very excited to see your paintings.
Shigure: O-oh, really?
Saizo: Of course they are. Shigure, are you nervous?
Shigure: Yes, of course. The truth is, I'm not pleased with my newest painting. It's not quite coming together.
Saizo: You mean the one you're making for the exhibition? While I can't wait to see the piece, time is running short. Do you really need to finish this final work for the show?
Shigure: Yes, it's very important that I complete it. Everyone has worked so hard to help, and I want to show them my appreciation. It's the centerpiece of the collection.
Saizo: I understand. But please, don't push yourself too hard. It will all be for nothing if you take ill.
Shigure: Of course, Father. I should get back to the easel. So long.
Saizo: Very well.
(Shigure leaves)
Saizo: All this effort... I wonder what the boy is painting?

Saizo: The exhibition has finally begun. I should take a look inside the tent... Hmm... This is quite the turnout. From the murmurs I've overheard, everyone seems to be enjoying the artwork. I must say, the exhibit looks excellent. This is quite a success. But where is Shigure? I've wandered through the tent and the grounds, yet he's nowhere to be found.
Shigure: *pant*...*pant*...
Saizo: Where have you been? Considering the heavy breathing, it's obvious that you just arrived. How could you be late to your own show?
Shigure: Sorry about that, Father. But I had to stay up all night to finish the final painting.
Saizo: Final painting?
Shigure: Y-yes...
Saizo: Why did you push yourself so hard? You already have many pieces on display. Did you really need to add one more?
Shigure: I-I know, but... It was important that this piece be displayed for the show. No matter how long it took. I made it to show my gratitude to you, Father.
Saizo: For me...? I-it's me... And your mother?!
Shigure: That's right. It's the centerpiece of the exhibition.
Saizo: So this is what you've been working on...
Shigure: Yes, Father. I love and respect you and Mother more than anyone in the world. The two of you brought me into this world and inspired me to paint... I wanted to pour all those feelings into this piece. I'm very grateful to you.
Saizo: I don't know what to say... The words are escaping me. But I really appreciate you, Shigure.
Shigure: F-Father, you're hugging me so tightly that it hurts... Hahaha.
Saizo: I can't help it... I'm proud to have such a wonderful son!
Shigure: I'm lucky to have an amazing father!
Saizo: Thank you, Shigure... We had better get going. This painting has to go on display!
Shigure: O-oh, OK... I'm a little embarrassed to show it off.
Saizo: Heh, I understand. But this is obviously the finest painting in the exhibit. Everyone needs to see it!
Shigure: S-sure... You're right, Father!
