Teru's grandfather

"That's where you're wrong. When you have lived your life for someone, you will continue to live on forever in their Heart. That person will in turn, spread their kindness and create their own bond with others. They gave their life for those bonds, so when they pass, those bonds will live on. That's what I believe in."

History
He finds Teru sitting on a rock while it was raining and asks her what she was doing there. She responds that she likes there because it is empty and the man says that, while she gets tired easily of crowds, he also likes it sometimes. Teru doesn't look at him, but asks him about what they gain from helping people, to what he answers that humans can't live alone, and tells her about the importance of life, as even the things they wear are made by unknown people to them. Teru cuts him off, asking if living for others will have any meaning even after one dies and he responds with another question, if she thought that people's lives loses meaning after dying, to which she agrees. He says she is wrong, explaining to her that when one lives up for someone, even after death, they live forever in their Hearts. He finalizes saying that she will understand him when she makes bonds, just like he believes to.
