From then on, much of Nagasaki: Memories of My Son plays out like a two-handed theatrical work featuring lots of dialogue and reminiscing. Koji comes and goes from the house (including once to go watch a movie in a cinema!), and Nobuko continues responding to requests for help to deliver babies into this post-atom bomb explosion world. But the two get to spending a not significant amount of time catching up as well as looking back; over the course of which strong emotions get divulged, expressed and need to be wrestled with.
