Mr. Tanimoto's meeting with his wife was unusual because it was an accident. She was running away from the destruction of her home, and he was running to find her and their child.

Mr. Tanimoto climbed up the bank and ran along it until, near a large Shinto shrine, he came to more fire, and as he turned left to get around it, he met, by incredible luck, his wife. She was carrying their infant son. Mr. Tanimoto was now so emotionally worn out that nothing could surprise him.
