Long Answer

1. He continues to visit Keiko at Camp Harmony, and he secures items that she and her family need. He defends Japanese property against looters (namely Chaz and his friends). He also discards the red, white, and blue button declaring him an American, which his father had forced him to wear. (Chapters 28-32)

2. It is bittersweet because Henry still loves Keiko. However, he also understands that his relationship with Keiko cannot be, and Ethel has many good qualities that attract Henry. So, Henry decides to focus on the “sweet” and embrace a life with Ethel.
