As we stand at her dining table, Hideko smiles, showing me photographs of Iwao as a young man and a former professional boxer. The two are the youngest of six siblings. Ever since they were children, Hideko had always taken care of her little brother. And so it continues.

Yuwao has a quiet life now and goes on daily outings with volunteers who help with his care. Hideko refuses to look back. And when I ask her who she blames for her brother's suffering, astonishingly, she says no one.
