The next night, a mysterious young girl arrives at Yasuhiro s home seeking shelter from the cold. The boy and his father welcome the girl, named Hiroko, to stay with them. But when Hiroko notices that Yasuhiro s father is struggling to earn money, she offers to weave silk for him to sell. After the fabric fetches a good price, the boy s father becomes impatient for more silk, and his greed has a life-changing effect on them all.
