Nihonmatsu falls...

Aizu is getting in a worser situation by the day.
Kakuma's health gets worser and he still haven't given up on his hometown and clan. He is fighting on his own in his own way.

Satsuma-Chosu is not even thinking about letting Aizu go.

At Nihonmatsu even the kids go to battlefield. The only kids that can escape to Aizu a those kids Yae met before.

Yae is getting more and more aware of how difficult their situation is.
