You and I first met

on a starry night

Mrs. Arai,

as I suspected, the sound of the baby's heartbeat is a little weak.

C-section - cesarean delivery

Let's not wait to go into labor, let's do a C-section now.

C-section...?

We'll contact your family and inform them of the procedure.

Ah... It hurts...

What's wrong?

Huh...? I feel like I'm having contractions...

Contact her family, and prep an IV!

Kaiserschnitt (German) - C-section

Call Director and Dr. Sasaki. We'll do a Kaiserschnitt.

- Right away. - Breathe slowly.

Now you've made a mess.

I'm sorry...

Too lazy to collect urine again...

Clean it up, please...

What? But I've just been called to the operating room...

Dr. Sasaki, let's do the operation!

...wait, why do you have pee on you?

I bumped into Ms. Hachisuka...

Stop dawdling, Dr. Sasaki!

Hurry up and get changed!

Get motivated, energy up, Sasaki! And your reply?

Yes, ma'am!

Scalpel.

The ovarian membrane is ruptured.

- Amniotic fluid suction. - Yes! Suctioning...

Grasp the peritoneum properly.

The head is out.

Applying fundal pressure. Pushing.

The baby is delivered.

Clamp the umbilical cord.

Umbilical cord scissor.

- Here you go. - Okay, I got it!

Huh?

The baby is not crying...

Huh... Not crying? Is the baby...?

- Dr. Sasaki, suture, please. - Yes!

Dr. Sasaki... Doctor!

Y-Yes.

Yes!

Vital signs are stable.

The mother is doing well.

Thank goodness...

How's the suture?

Oh, suture... I'll do it right away!

That's enough. I'll do it.

Zero being the suture strength

Mathieu tweezers, Zero, Cooper.

It's a healthy baby boy.

Look, it's your mom.

Congratulations...!

Thank you...

He's making funny faces again!

Thank you for your hard work.

Same goes to you.

You got scolded a lot today. Are you good?

Ah... I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

Pure rookies who are an emotional roller coaster about everything are so cute!

I'll do my best!

Listen, I was thinking about this morning's delivery,

but the probability of a man and a woman meeting,

the probability of one egg and one sperm meeting from that man and woman,

and that fertilized egg growing safely in a woman's belly

and being born as a human being,

multiplying those together,

you get a probability of one in a quadrillion, right?

You suddenly talk a lot!

I thought it's truly a miracle,

and it kind of made my heart full.

So you end up making that funny faces.

What?

Well, at first glance, you appear to be a very skilled veteran doctor,

which may confuse patients...

so 45-year-old rookie doctor, hang in there!

I'm sorry...

Okay!

Yup! That's so good.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It's like the stars are falling.

Please stop it.

Are you a photographer?

Stop it, please!

Huh...?

Wait... Hey!

Hey!

Hey... Huh?

Why don't you at least say "thank you for this"?

It's cold.

It's so warm...

Insert Song: NCT Doyoung - Cry

What? Ah...

Thanks.

You were taking pictures of the stars. Do you know much about them?

Why are you not speaking?

Sirius...

Betelgeuse...

She meant Orion

Onion... Oni... Huh?

What's that star--

Oh... sorry.

I'm sorry!

Huh...?

What is it?

Huh?

Hey...!

Hey!

Ah... I don't remember much of it...

What...?

So this is "you"...

And this?

Puff puff?

Sign language Puff Puff

Bye-bye? Ah! You...

Sign language Bye-bye

Your...

vomit...

I took care of it...

Your

vomit

I took care of it all

Idiot

Idiot!

Idiot...?

Huh? Vomit?

Yuck, it stinks!

I'm the worst...

Marrionner OB/GYN Clinic

Your baby weighs 3,000 grams.

No problem with placental position or amniotic fluid volume.

Mother-in-law said that if I don't give birth soon, it will be a difficult one.

Sir, your wife and child are doing well,

so I think its best to wait for natural contractions.

Huh...?

Damn you... all you say is "huh", you idiot!

- Doctor. - Yeah?

Is it true that toilet cleaning makes cute babies?

- Huh? - I saw it on social media.

That's just superstition.

Are your feet swollen?

Wow! What? How'd you know, Doctor?

Because I'm a doctor.

- Sir. - Yes.

Please massage your wife's feet like this.

- I understand. - From bottom to top.

Doctor, you have a call from Tokyo Metropolitan Central Hospital.

Metropolitan Central Hospital...?

Hello? This is Yukimiya.

Are you a family member of Aiko Yukimiya?

Aiko Yukimiya is my mother.

One week ago, Mrs. Aiko Yukimiya was admitted to the hospital,

and a few minutes ago, she passed away due to heart failure.

Suzu-chan.

- Why don't you sit with us? - Come on.

I hear you're working at a hospital in Umihira now?

Ah... Yes, I am.

Why did you quit at that university hospital?

Was your mother in bad health before?

Ah... I'm stepping out...

On a

Starry

Night

Episode 1

Weight of your left foot. To your right foot...

Sardine sandwich.

My gift for you.

Do you usually leave there?

- Leave? You! - Sorry!

- That's so funny! - Yeah, funny.

- Morning! - Good morning.

Yes. Good morning, everyone.

Last month's total just came in, and the sales from the death cleaning is looking good.

I think we can easily triple the current number,

so we will do sales as a company, but everyone should promote with that in mind.

Yes, ma'am.

This industry is booming right now.

Nice company to work for, right?

Yes.

We will go public in 5 years.

- Let's dance! - Let's dance! Let's dance, shall we?

Okay, let's get to work. What's for today?

President and Mr. Iwata will organize Momono's belongings.

When I went in to get an estimate, he had a lot of stuff,

so I think it will take all afternoon.

If it's just me and Iwata, we can get it done past by lunchtime!

We have two for today--

Which one do you want to go first?

Let's go with the solitary death of 80-something old man.

Okay. Solitary death it is.

Mrs. Yukimiya has passed away

Mrs. Yukimiya, who you did a death cleaning a week ago, has passed away.

She told me she still had a month to live.

Too soon, right?

We may pray for their souls, but we must not be dragged down by our customers' deaths.

Stay positive. Stay positive.

...now sign that, Haru.

Don't get dragged down. Stay positive. Stay positive.

Well, death will surely come to all of us, whether we look forward or backward.

- Okay, let's go! - Let's go!

See you later.

- My gloves, have you seen it? - It's in the car. - In the car? Yes!

Let's start the cleaning.

What's the matter?

Isn't this some treasured porn?!

It's the "Yay for the mourning dress!"

That legendary "ekiben position"

Ekiben!

...I wanna watch it

...customers' relics are to be disposed of immediately, remember?

I know that.

But if I watch it once and then dispose it, I won't be punished, right?

But I can't watch it at home. My grandma's there.

Not at your place too, you have a wife.

At the office!

No, that's a no-no.

Don't mix personal feelings with work, okay?

Right.

Miku Azuma ~Nice!! Ekiben style~ Yay for the mourning dress!

When they say it's a solitary death, it sounds like a sad life,

but I wonder if the old man in this house lived a surprisingly happy life.

I hope so. It must have been a wonderful life.

A great one

I want to grow old like that!!

I want to be!!

Aiko Yukimiya

Are you gonna bring Mrs. Yukimiya's box to her bereaved family today?

Well, suit yourself.

I don't do that kind of thing.

Yukimiya Family Waiting room

It's so tiny. They can't possibly load anything on that.

Are you the bereaved family of Mrs. Aiko Yukimiya?

...Yes.

I am very sorry for your loss.

My name is Issei Hiiragi, and I am a relic organizer who was in charge of Mrs. Aiko Yukimiya's death cleaning.

Relic organizer...

I am deaf, so let me explain it to you here.

Death cleaning for my mother's...?

We organized it a week ago. Her residence was cleaned and returned to the landlord that day.

Did you throw everything away?

She said she didn't want to bother her only daughter.

I hadn't seen... my mother

since last new year's.

I left her to die alone, didn't I?

I'm a bad daughter... who couldn't do anything for her.

It's not right to assume that she was lonely.

This is my...

I was wondering where it was, and my mother had this...?

I bought this lipstick in Paris.

Aren't these people your mother's fans?

Fans?

It seems that she was quite busy.

"Hula"... "pool"?

"Lunch," "barbecue"...

"Overnight stay in Kyoto"...?

She looks so happy...

They are all about adultery...

I hadn't been home in three days, and this was in the bed.

You didn't come home at all, so I let it sleep there instead.

Here you go.

I was pulling all-nighters, and you were just sleeping peacefully!

Hey, don't do that!

Since when did she become so violent? Right?

If I were to replace it, I'd go with... a bunny or something.

To have a mother like a bear.

It's eyes, you know, they're like black beans, just like yours.

What? Mine? Black beans?

Yeah. I bought it because it was similar.

What?! Black beans?

Hang in there.

It's not black beans...

I met her at the time when I was organizing her death cleaning, and she was an interesting person. I thought she must have lived a life filled with joy.

These are my groupies.

Whenever I have a presentation, they always come.

I'm surprisingly popular.

Let's see, this...

Huh?

What's your daughter like?

Oh... she's a doctor. The beautiful lady doctor kind?

She is smart, and a hard worker...

Oh, but she does have a tendency to be a bit absentminded,

and surprisingly, a bit spoiled.

But...

you know, she is really cute.

Hey...

Kotsuage - picking off bone remains and putting it in the urn

Suzu-chan, they said it's kotsuage.

I'm coming...

Huh...

Who are you?

Ah... Okay.

He said to pass it around.

I am deaf, so let me explain it to you here.

Ah... Yes. Yes.

Right now, our company is focusing on death cleaning. We will come to you anytime, anywhere, so please contact us.

Yes, yes.

We also offer vacant house cleaning, recycling, and consultation services. We believe that we can be of service to you as professionals in this field. Please feel free to contact us.

Yes. Look, her remains have already been raised.

Well, it's waiting for us. So sorry. I'm sorry.

- Suzu-chan, Suzu-chan... - Let's go. Let's go.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Marrionner OB/GYN Clinic

Dr. Yukimiya is on mourning leave for a while,

so today, Dr. Sasaki... - Huh...?

- I'm counting on you. - Ah. Yes, sir.

Good morning. I'm sorry, I took a day off.

What... What are you doing?

I'm more at ease if I'm working.

- Work is the best healer, right? - That's right.

That's one way to think of it.

Dr. Sasaki! Ah...

35-week-old Mrs. Shiba's water broke and she is going into labor.

- They are on their way here now. - Oh, I will examine her.

Okay, let's start the outpatient care.

Yeah! Let's all shout it out.

With me.

No more!

It hurts...!

Hang in there!

I don't want it from you!

Mom...!

Stay calm! Let's take a deep breath.

If it's not mom...!

- Don't touch me! - I'm sorry...

Mom... help me! If it's not Mom, I don't want to!

You're going to be a mother very soon.

Mom!

Sir! Did her mother not show up?

Huh...?

Dr. Sasaki, video call her mother.

- Yes! - Sir, do you have your phone with you?

Don't stop.

Her mother is dead... since three years ago.

Mom...!

Mom...!

Mom!

Why aren't you here when your daughter's having a hard time?!

My mother died three days ago too.

- What?! - Is that so...?

Then let's all shout, "Mom!"

Breathe in and breathe out long and hard!

Ready...!

Mom!

We're almost there.

Again! Breathe in...

Okay, push!

Mom!

That's good. Keep it up!

Again! Ready...!

- Mom! - Mom...!

Let's go home.

Oh, Suzu-chan! Suzu-chan!

- Mom! - Suzu-chan!

Mom!

Sorry, sorry, sorry... I'm late.

- Mom! - What?

- I got accepted! - You did it! Wow!

Good for you! You did it! You did it, you did it!

Great job! Great job! You did it, you did it!

Mom!

Complaint

Mom...

Yeah? What's up?

I got sued...

What...?

I wanted to help, so I took it on...

but the mother...

The baby was saved...

As a doctor, you have nothing to be ashamed of, right?

Maybe I shouldn't have taken it on...?

Any other hospital would...

Get a grip.

It's gonna be okay.

God is watching you... and knows that you did nothing wrong.

Mom...!

Breathe out, please!

Ready...!!!

Mom!

- It's coming out! Almost there! - A little more...!

Ready...!

Mom!

Congratulations!

- Congra... - Congratulations! - Hey, Dr. Sasaki!

The husband collapsed! Take care of it!

Congratulations.

The baby is born...

The delivery earlier, was close to your heart.

When you said, "Mom!"

it's like the lake deep in the forest of your heart...

the dam is overflowing--

It's a breathing exercise. In short.

What...?

Pregnant women sometimes have trouble pushing.

Whether it's "Mom," "Dad,"

"Damn you!" or anything else,

we have to shout together

and communicate with them to make it work.

Ah... so that's what it was about.

I am really learning a lot.

I mean, Dr. Sasaki,

you shouldn't be freaking out with the pregnant and the husband.

You may be a 45-year-old rookie, but to your patients, you're their OB/GYN.

Reflect on it.

I'm sorry...

Dr. Yukimiya at the delivery earlier was a little unusual.

Unusual?

She is usually so cool, but she got all passionate about it...

Her mother just passed away, right?

Her heart wasn't stable.

You're right...

But that kind of Dr. Yukimiya...

maybe I don't hate it.

What the hell is that?

What was it, right?

- Are you done? - Ah, yes.

Find anything valuable?

In a drawer, we found a title deed to real estate and 2,000 yen in cash.

2,000 yen...

Good work.

Give me back the key.

Here.

I'll be back later to close it.

Oh, wait a minute!

What's that?

It was in the same drawer as the title deed.

These are...

none of them were designed by me.

This was my first job...

I believe

that your father was proud of his son's work.

I felt like he was asking us not to throw this one away...

I will keep this.

Thank you...

Here you go.

I'm fine with just one onigiri.

I bought a little too much, didn't I?

Um... if you'd like,

you can bring lots of it for tonight's dinner or tomorrow's breakfast.

It's on me.

- Not gonna happen. - No, it's really okay.

I bought a lot of them, so please eat them.

Well then, I'll have a feast.

Thank you for this.

Dr. Sasaki, you got into med school in your mid 30s, right?

Yes.

What made you decide to become a doctor?

- It's a secret. - Huh?

But my goal is

to become a cool OB/GYN like you, Dr. Yukimiya.

Huh?

- Ah... I'm starving. - Right? Starving, right?

Yay, yay, wow, wow!

- Yay, yay, wow, wow! - Charlie!

- Yay, yay! - Wow, wow!

- Yay, yay! - Who called you?

- Go home! - Don't be angry, Tsuruko.

Don't call your mother by her first name!

You have weird hair again...

I'm Forever Pink.

- It'll be spring soon! - It's still winter.

What's that?

No, no... I'm the one who called Charlie.

I thought we could all eat this cake together.

This one's on me. Ta-da!

- Good work. - Ah, good work!

It's over...

Good work, good work.

Issei.

The locker room is full because of you.

Any relics you couldn't give to the client, throw them away already.

Now. Now.

She wants you to clean out the mountain of customer boxes.

It's not our job to leave relics behind without being asked to do so!

I can't afford to waste warehouse space and pay you for all that extra work!

When I die, or when a loved one dies, they all ask for a full disposal, but later regret it. I've seen that kind of bereaved family so many times

To worry that much is going too far!

That's what you taught me

Huh?

He says, "That's what you taught him."

But that doesn't mean you should just take everything!

- Okay, to the warehouse! - Yes, ma'am!

Go!

Jeez... stubborn kid!

Sasaki Family Grave

It's not black beans.

Okay...

Excuse me.

Um... do you know where this Polaris place is?

Huh...?

A lot of it came out.

I took a picture of it.

Hiiragi is off today.

Oh... if it is possible, could you tell me his home address?

I got something I want to give back to him.

Leave it with me.

- Ah... - Huh?

Um... we can't give you his address,

but I'm sure he's taking pictures on the levee at Hitode Beach right now.

Oh... I'll go there.

Hey... why did you tell her?

An OB/GYN at the beginning of life

and a relic organizer at the end of life,

they crossed paths, don't you think? - Huh?

Not "Huh?" Slow Haru.

Theme Song: Yu-ka - Hoshizukiyo

I washed and dried it so it doesn't smell anymore.

As for the night at that camp... I'm sorry too, I was drunk.

But I don't like what you said.

I mean, "idiot."

Thank you

I'm glad

that it was you who organized my mother's belongings.

Thank you.

But

your

kiss

wasn't that big of a deal
