At the publisher's office, Tomita, the authors, and others involving his company were meeting. Tomita passed out a sheet of paper to each of them with the company financial information. One of the authors looked at it and said, "How can you possibly have no money?" Tomita said, "It's all down there. I paid, and got credit, and spent... there's nothing left. I'm so sorry." He got down on the floor and groveled.

a.k.a. the first time I saw father cry

Genbee (father) arguing with grandma. Apparently he wants to buy a sake manufacturer or something, and they are fighting. He's angry... Fumie comes in, and he orders her to stand straight!

Fumie's voice tells us that this was the first time she had heard father cry.
