Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mama's gone to heaven.

- Gone? Mama's dead?

- I'm sorry.

When?

Four months ago.

I'm so sorry.

She loved you very much.

I'm your sister. June.

Our little sister.

I've come to take

our mother's place.

I've come to bring you

her hopes.

Our sister.

Our family.

It was enough...

for them and for me.

Because really she was there...

and I'd finally

done something for her.

I'd found the best of myself...

what she kept for all of us:

her long-cherished wish.
