As we come to the end of this chapter it is important to stop and acknowledge the way that we are feeling.
Even though, like Fumiko, we already knew the likely truth about Hana, we still may feel very saddened and maybe even shocked by what has happened to her.

However, at the same time, Fumiko's new discovery gives us a sense of hope and something to go forward with.
How did you feel about Fumiko's discovery on the list? What could this mean?
