Chapter 39: Daybreak

Louie eventually traveled back to Japan to the Sugamo Prison where his old guards were to make peace with himself and them. He couldn't find the Bird, though. He asked some of the officials at the prison where he was, and they said that the government had been looking for him all over Japan, but he apparently he had killed himself. Louie felt some compassion for the guard, as well as The Bird because in the end, The Bird was just another man. "In bewilderment, the men who abused him watched him come to them, his hands extended, a radiant smile on his face."  This trip was filled with forgiveness and a sense that the war was really over for Louie.
