Older Mini McGann:
Why are we so early?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
It's good to be early.
Older Mini McGann:
Do you ever worry that you won't recognize him, Mama?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
You recognize me, don't you?
Older Mini McGann:
Well, he might have grown a beard or a moustache or something. And I was so little. I only think I remember him. Do you think he'll remember me?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
Well, he has all your photographs and all the letters you wrote him, and he has all your school reports
Older Mini McGann:
You sent him my school reports?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
Of course I did. I wanted to let him know how well you were doing. Come on, now. I got some tea and rice cakes here. We'll have a nice talk while we're walking, okay? Let's go.
Older Mini McGann:
How far do we have to walk?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
Not far.
Older Mini McGann:
If we have so much time, then why are you walking so fast? I shouldn't have worn these new shoes. I think I have a blister. Mama!

Older Mini McGann:
Can we talk about Papa?
Lily Yuriko Kawamura:
Okay.
