Utsumi Shigenori

John and Henry come together to visit the island, John to meet an old family friend, and Henry to visit his mother's grave. Eighteen years before, Henry's family had lived on the island. He also brings Henry with him to visit a local woman who helped to keep an eye on him as a child. Tefla is ecstatic to see Henry again, and agrees to let John stay with her for a while, as he is taking a holiday.
