You can’t not smile while watching. But it’s not always rainbows even for a baby. Sumire‘s eyes get shiny and full of tears as she witnesses Yoriichi say goodbye. We can all agree that no goodbyes are fun, but it just shows how much of a bond she shares with Yoriichi. We catch them in a scene where Yoriichi is on the verge of tears while thinking about his regrets.
