What did you wish for?

A lot of things.

I wished that we and our baby will be together.

But we are together.

Not really.

I'm always left behind.

It's your bad habit.

You always forget that I am still here when you are having a difficult time.

Haru?

Haru?

Haru!

Haru!

Yes?

The ambulance will arrive in 10 minutes.

Okay.

Coming in. He's a 62 year old. He has liver cirrhosis

and was transferred here from another hospital.

There is some blood in his vomits.

Understood. Please place him at this bed.

One, two, three.

You drank again didn't you, Mr. Oumura?

Have you rested a bit?

Thankfully, I've slept for five minutes.

43 year old male adult. He got into a bicycle accident riding home.

Here please.

The left side of the head has a contrusion.

There are scratches at the left arm and left thigh.

Doctor, please come here.

We've meet again tonight.

Thank you for always going here and there.

Dr Kurihara gets the patients to come here like usual.

Matsukawa.

Please give some Buscopan in Recovery E.

Sir, I'll listen for your heart beat.

Okay.

Get the root, add Lactated Ringers and get three blood samples.

Please also prepare for an X-ray.

- Tomura. - Yes?

72 year old male adult with impaired consciousness will arrive in 15 minutes.

Okay. Toyama!

Move Bed C to the Recovery. The patient with impaired conciousness will arrive in 15 minutes.

Yes Ma'am.

Looks like it would be a long night.

There is no scientific proof, but if you look at the statistics

it is true that there are lot of emergency patients coming in whenever I'm on night duty.

There's a fact in that...

Doctor! He's vomiting blood!

Please hold on!

Are you okay?

Use cross-matching and transfuse blood with RCC 4 units.

Yes?

There's a 36 year old male adult who got into a bike accident.

He will arrive in 10 minutes.

Understood.

The roof's landing and take-off facility

will be made into an emergency & critical care heliport

and this will make the hospital accept three times the emergency demands.

We are currently deciding this reformation.

For this reformation to fully succeed

the sickbed rate of operations must be increased.

Everyone else has met

the assembly time of this general meeting.

I was on early morning duty in the emergency cases.

Okay.

Dr Kurihara, what do you think about this?

This is your duty results records.

It says here that you spend an average of 11 and a half minutes for each patient.

This is the longest of all the doctors in this Honjou hospital.

Please reduce the time of your medical treatment by all means.

Medical care is not charity.

It's business.

If we follow this precise business model, our hospital will...

Kuri.

Let me introduce the new doctor.

He came from a famous Tokyo hospital.

He's an elite who specializes in hematology.

Dr Tatsuya Shindou.

Once you'll be aware of this,

next would be the reformation...

Tatsu!

Long time no see, Kurihara.

Why are you here?

Dr Kurihara?

Ah. Sorry.

Is he single?

Heard he's a classmate of Dr Kurihara.

Really?

Ma'am...

Isn't he such a looker?

Mizunashi.

Didn't you liked Dr Sunayama?

No, that's not what I meant!

A Tokyo elite, huh? You don't know until when he'll be here.

You should've told me he's your classmate, Dr Shindou.

Sorry about that. My mistake.

Even though we're classmates, he graduated at the top of the class.

Compared to me, he was the one who was selected in the prestigious Tokyo University Hospital.

He's way better than me.

But you're great, Kurihara.

Who would've thought you're still working here.

I just had nowhere to go.

But anyway, why are you suddenly here?

I have my reasons.

Ah! So good!

But it's a good thing.

It's fun to be working with a former classmate.

As your old friend, I will greet you a grand return, Tatsu.

Welcome.

Welcome to the primary medical treatment.

Ogawa. Ms Chie Ogawa.

Please go to window 5.

Welcome back, Ichi.

Thanks.

You are taking pictures with this cold weather?

It's because of the full moon.

Did something good happen?

A new full-time doctor came for the understaffed chronic section at Honjou hospital.

I see.

He's a good doctor. And to think he's an old friend.

That's good to hear.

Speaking of new people, there is a new resident at the Ontake Villa.

Baron is in high spirits.

A new resident, huh.

He is Doctor.

So he is the husband of Haruna.

And he's the one living in the Wisteria space since last week.

He's Cedar.

Can you please stop calling me Cedar?

You're studying the Yakushima cedar so you're nicknamed Cedar.

That's perfect.

Studying Yakushima cedar? Why?

I want to know why too.

What?

When he said that there is nothing particular he wants to do,

his professor just said that he go study the Yakushima cedar.

That's what he said to you, right?

That's right. He's so harsh.

You're still young and don't want anything you want to do?

My professor also said that.

Isn't it just a misconception of old men that young people always have something they want to do?

Old men?

A misconception, huh? I kind of know what you mean.

I'm very sure you'll find something you really want to do someday.

I will. Please carefully watch over me while I find it.

- Okay. - Thanks.

I wonder if you still remember him, Baron?

About?

Tatsuya Shindou.

Ah.

When you were enrolled in med school, isn't he your most formidable opponent in the shogi club?

There were only three of us in the club.

Score record: 520 matches, 519 wins.

It's the opposite.

Well, it's not only that.

He's your rival at the love triangle affair.

It was not an affair.

What's this love triangle affair?

- Wanna hear it? - Stop it.

I want to hear it.

You see...

While he's so engrossed with shogi,

he didn't just lost the king piece.

That man also took Doctor's precious junior secretly.

I see.

It's a thing of the past.

Yes. It's a thing of the past.

So, why did you ask about him?

Ichi, is he the new great doctor you were talking about?

That's him. He's Tatsuya Shindou.

He came back to Shinshuu.

I see. So he's going to work in a primary hospital.

Yes.

How is Chinatsu Kisaragi?

Ah right. She's now Chinatsu Shindou. Is she with him?

I don't know. I didn't hear.

How can you forget that? That's important.

Why didn't you ask?

Checkmate.

- I'm done. - Okay.

Dr Kurihara.

Are you okay? You seem devastated.

I'm not devastated. I'm just tired.

Ah, well, it's the same thing.

No, you should use your words correctly.

Just look at this Dr Souseki.

But I'm reading Akutagawa tonight.

Okay, whatever.

There is a patient who has a fever.

Can you examine her?

Aiko Shiga. Aplastic anemia.

She's Tatsu's patient.

But we couldn't contact Dr Shindou.

Not just today.

We can't call his phone at all.

We've received complaints here and there.

Tatsu is a way too diligent guy.

When we were students, he was called the conscience of the medical science faculty...

He's really different from someone you know.

He doesn't do rounds in the morning. After regular hours at evening, he immediately goes home.

We can't contact him at night.

That's not like him. Tatsu is an ambitious man.

He's serious and excellent in medicine too.

Will that kind of doctor come to this kind of hospital?

Room 410, right?

Yeah. There's no problem.

Wait.

Ah...

Is it a boy or a girl?

We don't know yet.

I look forward to it.

Dear, you can't overwork Dr Kurihara here.

He's going home to this lovely girl.

Like I do that. Right?

Take it easy at work, Dr Kurihara.

It'll be bad if you end up like this man here.

Aren't I taking a rest like today?

I'm even taking my time drinking here.

When was the last time you took a day off?

Maybe Dr Nukita works hard because he has a sweet wife with him.

You heard that? She said I'm sweet.

Listen, Haruna.

The moment the hospital calls them, doctors forget everything else.

It's bad if they don't think about themselves sometimes.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Okay, understood. I'm on my way.

The blood sugar level of a diabetic patient crossed over 500.

I see. So you need to get back to work.

Yes.

Understood.

It was a good day off, Kuri.

Sorry.

It's fine. I've made a lovely friend today.

Go on.

Take care.

I'm off.

They never had a day off where they can fully rest.

Ah. Noodles sounds good.

It is.

Right?

Excuse me!

I didn't eat.

I heard you had blood sugar of 520 before lunch.

I didn't eat.

I haven't eaten anything else besides meals served here.

Recent diabetes-related blood tests have improved.

There is this that we call food markers that can scan samples

and we can find out whatever food they ate.

Like bread, cake and even their varieties.

So there's a scanner like that.

- It's new. - Ah...

We'll know once we get your blood.

Ah, get blood...

I ate. I'm sorry.

I'm kidding. There's no scanner like that.

If you eat again, you'll be discharged from medical advice, okay?

It's something you really look forward to. You would want to see the baby soon, right?

Yes.

But I'm a little worried.

Hm?

Once the baby is born and Ichi is busy, I don't know if he'll be there with us.

Even if he's not there, his feelings will embrace you.

Chiyo, if you're free, would you two visit us sometime?

Yes. Gladly.

Dr Shindou!

We called you many times last night.

I heard from the voice mails.

I let the doctor on duty handle it.

But Ms Izumi is your patient.

Why weren't you there when she died?

Ms Izumi is 90 years old.

A treatment to prolong her life is hopeless.

I can't do anything even if I was there.

That's why I let other doctors handle it.

I just fulfilled the 10 minutes allotted for a physician's duty.

When did you started smoking?

The nurses here are surprisingly lively.

What is a doctor to you, Kurihara?

A doctor is

someone who eliminates diseases that make patients suffer.

Someone who gives cure and removes the pain.

Someone who listens to their anxieties.

I don't really know what's written in the dictionary.

But a doctor who doesn't show up when his patient has a fever,

letting the staff on duty take care of the patient even if the patient dies,

those kind of behaviors are not of a doctor.

Don't you think you're misunderstanding it?

We are just doctors.

There is no guarantee we can get immediate food and sleep.

We should be fully aware about that unfairness by now.

The patients' sense of safety differs as long as a doctor is there.

Sense of safety?

Do you have room to run around with something as meaningless as that?

I heard you only had 3 days off this year.

Are you okay with that?

It's not about being okay about it or not.

It's about choosing much better decisions in irrational environments.

Can your wife understand you?

What about your family?

Kisaragi?

Did Kisaragi said that?

As far as I remember,

she's more enthusiastic in medical treatments than you.

I have to make my rounds.

Tatsu! How is Kisaragi?

Is she well?

- Excuse me... - Huh?

You're a senior at the medical science faculty right?

Yes.

I thought so. Can you lend me 190 yen?

I'll be sure to pay it back.

Excuse me. You're the one I borrowed 190 yen right?

- Ah... - I've been looking for you!

Ah. I'm a second year at medical science faculty, Chinatsu Kisaragi.

Here.

Um...

Can you also let me join the shogi club?

Oh, this is rare. Have you been smoking, Doctor?

Ah...

No.

You sure have a bad look on your face.

Something happened?

What?

When I passed by Dr Shindou, he looked down.

That's what I hoped.

But I think it's better to take care of your friends.

That's why...

That's why I have this bad look on my face.

I see. You two seem to be in your adolescence stage.

Whoopsie.

Do you need help?

Eh? Really? No, I'm fine.

Yes, understood. Excuse me.

Please, Dr Shindou.

I told you that I'll properly explain it to her family tomorrow.

But Ms Shiga is worried.

You just transferred her out of the IC today.

The lab results concludes she has aplastic anemia.

Even if we continue to transfuse blood, we can't stop her anemia to get worse.

It is now needed to give her immunosupressants.

It is not easy to explain this to her.

But...

Today is impossible.

Dr Shindou. Wouldn't it be better if you give her even a little explanation?

The patients will feel a lot better if the doctor in charge will at least talk to them.

I told you I don't have time today.

Do you intend to be worried until the next morning?!

Ms Shiga really feels down.

If you talk to her even a little...

I can't even for a short time.

If I don't explain in detail, it would just cause worry and misunderstanding.

But...

Kurihara. I know what you're about to say but I don't have time today.

No time to even talk to your old friend?

Today is impossible.

I see.

That's disappointing.

Sorry.

I'm just telling you that you lack much sleep.

I'm just trying to wake you up.

Will you explain to the nurses the situation before you leave?

Will you leave after you show yourself to the patient?

Choose between the two.

I'm sorry, Kurihara.

I have different priorities compared to you.

Kindly tell Ms Shiga that I will explain her situation another time.

What?

You don't want to study Yakushima cedar?

I told you that I'm not interested.

It's getting annoying.

That's why I don't like to drink.

We should stop calling you Cedar then.

Sorry. Ah, but you can still call me that.

Don't you have anything you want to do?

I said I have none.

That's why I envy everyone.

You have things you want to do and have dreams.

Having fun.

I think it's alright you have none.

Huh?

Honestly, those things like dreams and hope

will eventually change and and pile up.

Right, Kuri?

I guess.

Is that so?

Just continue doing what's just in front of you.

Then someday, that will be your path.

- Really? - Yup.

But I have no idea if you'll find it.

Hey, which is it!

Whatever! Just drink up, young man! Alcohol first.

Let's drink up.

Kuri. You should drink too.

Drink, drink.

I've really done it.

Tatsuya Shindou.

Sorry.

During med school

he was the type who would even get angry at professors

and had strong ideals.

Everyone finds Dr Shindou difficult to deal with, huh?

He's very punctual in arriving and leaving.

Even though he's doing something common.

I think he's an excellent doctor.

You're very open-minded.

I want to be the same.

Well, I also argued with a classmate.

Are you talking about Professor Takayama from Shinano Medical College?

Yup, yup.

"We will make this hospital where anyone can consult anytime in this town."

That's was our motto.

But now, we are in different positions.

I have no idea where we went our separate ways!

Well, it's that.

It's fine if you had some fight.

You see, doctors...

It is useless for doctors to think with their heads, Kuri.

Yup.

You must stop thinking with your head.

Doctors must stop thinking with their heads.

What were you thinking?

You poured him coffee in front of everyone.

It might not be like that if you were there.

I can't just turn a blind eye if Tatsu argued with a young nurse. It might not be like that if you were there.

I can't just turn a blind eye if Tatsu argued with a young nurse.

Oh well. To think I finally found some peace.

Did Tatsu gave you that much of a hard time?

Kinda.

But this and that are different.

If you did something like that in front of the nurses,

Dr Shindou will have no face he can show.

But I have to make a stance as his friend.

Childish! You're being childish! This is not a coming of age drama!

Dr Kurihara!

Dr Kurihara! Thank you very much!

You should not thank me...

I think Touzai here should still be angry at me.

Dr Shindou spent an hour more.

He closely stayed at the IC.

Ms Shiga and her family found peace of mind.

I've thought wrong of Dr Shindou.

I can't believe he can give such a kind explanation.

I'll work hard to appreciate Dr Shindou more.

She's in love.

Too bad.

Tatsu has a wife.

You're going night shift again?

You're working hard. Take care of your health.

I'm really thankful you're worried about me, Touzai.

Again, me also being the husband of a wife, you'll...

Are you okay, Dr Nukita?

I think it's just overwork. But to be sure, we'll observe him while he's here.

Please look after him.

I'm sorry.

He fairly took long hours working here.

You too are also working hard.

To be honest, I feel relieved.

He's someone who's always been working.

He can take a bit of a rest because of this.

Yes.

Please take care.

Ironic, isn't it?

To think he finally has free time, but to even spend it again in the hospital.

Let's see. The number of patients visiting the university hospital

has continued to increase year after year.

But the physicians overworking has become a problem.

Go ahead, Professor Takayama.

If the level of the physicians will be uniformed,

the primary and secondary hospitals will also...

It's malignant lymphoma.

In Ann Arbor staging, it's stage IV-B.

Professor Takayama.

It is possible that it could get worse.

It would not be strange if subjective symptoms would appear.

So that's why I always feel tired recently.

What is malignant lymphoma?

We are still not sure.

It is a cancer of blood that occurs from the lymphatic system of the tissues.

We would not know what type and degree if we don't examine it.

I'm Dr Shindou.

Hematology is my specialty so I'll be your doctor in charge.

First of all, let's do some medical scans.

Tomorrow, we'll do some lymph node biopsy. After that, we'll use an endoscope and do PET scanning.

I'm lucky that I'm transferred to an elite hematology doctor.

I'm now going to inject at your back.

58 years old, male adult.

He is the patient we examined to have malignant lymphoma.

I want to hear your opinion on this.

At first, I thought of entering from chop.

I think that won't be enough.

How about an alternative treatment like Hyper-CVAD/MA?

Why don't we try using ALL?

We can also use hematosis tube cell transplant.

Do we really need to do transplanting?

Is there anything better for clinical trials?

At any rate,

there is freedom to get around in doing treatment at a university hospital.

Could you persuade him to be transferred to the Shinano Medical University?

Yes, sir.

Who would have thought that the professor was classmates with Dr Nukita.

They used to be working together at Honjou Hospital.

Dr Nukita said this:

He said he has no idea where they separated ways.

To think Professor Takayama asked Kurihara personally.

But this idiot refused and just stayed at Honjou Hospital.

Can you believe that?

Well, that's me.

But you two were together like this. Both of you were at the shogi club if I remember.

There were only 3 members.

Kurihara, Shindou, and Kisaragi.

That takes me back.

I have to make a phone call. Leave without me.

- Excuse me. - Okay.

Kurihara, don't tell me you haven't heard anything.

Hm?

I meant about Kisaragi.

Well, I just heard rumors.

It would be better if you heard from Shindou.

Welcome home.

What's that?

I borrowed it from Cedar.

It seems star gazing is his hobby.

So he has something he actually likes.

I see.

Looks like there is something that troubles you.

I think it won't concern you.

But I want to talk to you about this.

Give me a break.

I suddenly became a patient that has to go to a university hospital.

Professor Takayama personally asked about it.

Forget that.

What would be the treatment, Dr Shindou.

We found out at tests that there is lymphoblastic lymphoma.

It has grown all over your body. It needs immediate treatment.

So chemotherapy, huh?

It would immediately depended upon the results of the bone marrow puncture.

We will first start treating with 4 drug combination

Can you hold that for a moment, Dr Shindou.

But Dr Nukita.

Hmm, wait for me in 2-3 days.

You are human before you are a doctor.

Please do not forget that.

Come on, it's just 2-3 days.

Please, Shindou.

Oh, Chiyo.

I've thought of bringing change of clothes

But I don't feel like going back to the hospital looking like this.

I'll prepare some tea.

Excuse me.

Looks like this place also has changed.

"Medical care is not charity."

"It's business"

This is the opinion of the higher ups of this hospital.

Looks like Kanayama office is to blame for this.

Wherever you are, there is a need for unpaid work.

Um...

To be honest...

Nukita

said that he wants to be treated here, correct?

I would have thought he'll say something like that.

I'm sorry.

I start to remember when I arrived here the times me and Nukita were working together..

"We will make this hospital where anyone can consult anytime in this town."

Right?

Why do you know that?

He cheerfully told me a few days ago.

I see.

Even though I'm not doing anything, I wonder why I feel so tired whenever I'm in the hospital.

If you find this place peaceful, please come here whenever you want.

Ah, right right. I have something I want to give you.

It was actually because of Chiyo.

Right after they got married, Chiyo got pregnant.

When it was the last month of pregnancy,

she suddenly had a major metrorrhagia.

And the first hospital she was taken to had no gynecologist.

When she was taken to the second hospital,

the child in her womb passed away...

That's when Nukita said this,

"Don't tell anyone about this sad incident."

And since then, he said to this Honjou Hospital,

"We will make this hospital where anyone can consult anytime."

He changed his mind about returning to a university hospital

and chose to work here as long as he lives.

Is this a picture you took?

Is this Mt Jounen?

We always go to the mountain range of Hida once a year.

This takes me back.

You know, when I was still a student, I used to climb with a friend.

There was a cabin called Jounan Cabin at the top.

I still remember it well.

The stars were very pretty when we gaze up the night sky from the cabin.

I'll be leaving then.

What? Won't you visit him?

I came today to show up as a doctor.

Please take good care of Nukita.

It really suits you.

I was told you were really great.

If it wasn't for your accurate instructions for the scanning,

Dr Nukita's medical diagnosis results will be too late.

Dr Kurihara said that.

I only just fulfilled my job as his doctor in charge.

Ms Shiga's seemed to be in good health now.

Ah. She's not what gives me strength.

What?

You'll be better If you eat these.

Aren't you going to eat?

Should I eat them for you?

The doctors will scold you, right? Should I eat them for you?

I'll eat them for you, okay?

I'll eat them.

Won't you eat? Don't hold back and eat.

Here, try this. Come on.

See?

How is it?

It's good, right? Yup. How is it?

It's good, right? Yup.

It's natural that your blood sugar level will rise.

But you see, Ms Shiga, see...

She became a bit livelier see.

You see, you see, it's fine if my blood sugar level rose up a bit.

But there is no point that you are confined here at the hospital.

She looks like my wife who passed away.

Would I be forced out of the hospital?

Climb up and down from the 1st floor to the 5th floor 5 times a day.

Drink a lot of fluids but only water and tea.

Okay.

This bed please.

Turning.

Natsuna Shindou, 4 years old female child.

Her body temprature is 40 degrees and causing seizures.

Papa. Her body temprature is 40 degrees and causing seizures.

Her body temprature is 40 degrees and causing seizures.

Papa.

Seems like her father is a personnel at this hospital. Papa.

Seems like her father is a personnel at this hospital.

Raising the bed.

Shindou...

Natsuna dear, we're switching beds.

We've given her an IV.

We think that the fever caused the febrile seizures.

We think it would be best that she stays here for the night.

Thank you.

I'm in your debt. Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Here is her bag.

Thank you.

It seems he lets him stay at a childcare at the moment.

It seems that Dr Shindou left his wife in Tokyo

and they came here together with his daughter.

Did you knew that, Dr Kurihara?

No, I didn't.

That's probably why he leaves early.

His child is probably also why we can't contact him at night.

Hello. Shindou here.

Looks like I'll be late to fetch her.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you tell us?

I've thought that my mother is here anyway.

It's for Haruna's sake.

But recently, my mother got hospitalized.

Then this happened.

That's why I'm asking why didn't you tell us?

Is there a patient who worries about such personal matters of a doctor?

Even if it's impossible for patients, the staff can understand.

Once the nurses and other doctors understood the situation, they will understand.

Of course, I'll understand too.

Kurihara.

Care for a game?

I don't even know anymore.

I don't know why Chinatsu ended up like this.

She's not the girl you used to know.

Didn't Kisaragi worked in the same hospital as you?

At the advanced medical's peak in pediatrics,

it was the time when many uncurable children from all over the country was sent to them.

At the time when she returned after her maternity leave was over,

she was probably getting impatiently anxious.

The medical care was advancing rapidly.

Even if you just rest for a year,

you'll be left behind immediately.

Either way, she desperately worked hard to catch up.

But still...

She took a day off when she got sick from overwork.

Sadly on that same day,

there was a sudden change in condition on the child with a leukemia where Chinatsu was the doctor in charge.

How dare you took a day off when he was desperately trying to live during chemotherapy?!

A simple odd job like child care could no way just cure him!

It is your job as a doctor to take care of a child, right?!

I will not be satisfied with just an apology!

If you're going to apologize, apologize to him!

That night...

Chinatsu was dismissed from that medical team.

That's when it all started.

Chinatsu stayed every night at the hospital, only coming home in the middle of the night to just get change of clothes.

She looks absent minded even if you talk to her.

She continued to work as if she's possessed.

There was a time when Natsuna had a very bad pertussis.

Mama... mama...

Natsuna. Mama will be here in any moment.

When she comes, we can go home together.

Chinatsu.

Leaving her family behind

I see Chinatsu working endlessly day and night.

Everyone says she's an excellent doctor.

Don't you think it's crazy?

Tatsu...

What is an excellent doctor?

That's a doctor who's...

It means you have to always be at the hospital.

Which means you can never be there for your family.

Just what is husband and wife?

Dr Nukita?

What are you doing, Dr Nukita?

Ah, I'm just checking some charts.

That's no good. Please go back to your room.

Do you know where it is?

The results should be done by now.

Please, let's go back to your room.

Doctor!

Please stop this, doctor.

- Doctor! - Dear.

Doctor! Doctor!

Dr Nukita!

Call the doctor on duty!

Dr Nukita!

Doctor! Dr Nukita!

Prepare the equipments!

Measure the vital signs.

You're really pretty. Ah, please look this way.

Hey Cedar. I'm drawing here.

I'm also taking pictures of her.

No! I'm drawing here!

What do you mean?!

Stop pushing me.

Ah. Off she goes.

Welcome home, Ichi.

What's going on?

What?

What do you mean what's going on, Doctor?

Can't you say anything better looking how pretty she is?

Ah. That's true.

Yeah.

It looks good on you.

That's it?

Princess looks like a princess, you know!

Mmm. Mmm. Delicious.

It's really good. You should eat.

There. How is it?

Try the veggies.

Gyuud!

So gyuud!

It's okay now.

Start giving me anti-cancer drug or steroids.

I will.

It's always been said that doctors neglect their own health.

You should be careful too. Take good care of your wife too.

I'm probably became too much of a hassle.

I lived like I had no time to spend my time being a good husband.

To think next time I see her

I became a patient.

But...

Even though I've been bad to her, I don't regret it.

What?

I've devoted my life to my medical profession.

You know,

I'm a worthless wife.

Please hold down.

The lymphoma is in the central nerves and we found out that they started entering the brain.

What?

Even if we used a strong dosage of chemotherapy

and do that until spring

we just don't know how long it will last.

What if he was transferred to a University Hospital like Shinano Medical College?

With his current condition

it would not be enough with whatever chemotheraphy.

Did he said that?

He most likely knows.

Dr Nukita already knows.

Also, I will switch to a stronger chemotherapy.

But that will weaken Dr Nukita.

Looking at the condition, we will switch to a more paliative care

So that he can be at ease until the very end

I will do everything I can.

During this time

his family will be fully distressed.

You might not be able to sleep or you may be sick.

Please ask us for help any time. Me or the nurses wouldn't mind.

Whenever you feel too tired, we will fully support you.

We will do everything so that you will not have regrets.

If you need help, please ask.

Thank you very much. I've made my resolve.

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

We'll start giving him an anti-cancer drug.

Okay.

Good afternoon.

~Close hands, open hands.~ Good afternoon.

~Close hands, open hands.~

~Clap hands, close hands.~

~Open hands again, clap hands.~

~Put those hands up.~

[From: Touzai Naomi

Papa!

I'm back, Natsuna.

Welcome back.

What did you do today?

We opened and closed hands.

You did.

~Close hands, ~

~open hands.~

~Clap hands, close hands.~

~Open hands again, ~

~clap hands. Put those hands...~

Did you know from the start

the reason why Tatsuya comes and leaves early is

because of his daughter?

Hm? Why'd you ask?

Since the time he had a bad reputation,

I felt like you understood him.

I wonder about that.

Kuri, get this.

I made her worry until the end after all.

Being doctors like us,

to choose between our family and our patients

is always a difficult decision.

Speaking of medical treatment reform,

there is no doctor that has been recognized by himself only.

Living like one is not done easily.

Is there no hope in situations like that?

Hope, huh?

What do you think?

- Right? - Hm?

What are you asking suddenly?

- Ah, Dr Takayama - Hello.

Here are sweet buns.

Ah, thank you.

- They're still warm. - Thank you.

I don't want that.

Thank you for these.

You've been observing the stars?

Yes. I somehow liked it since I was a kid.

Then how about you go research about the stars?

Huh? I don't like it that far.

Then how about you start researching Yakushima cedar soon?

What?

Wow.

Oh, I see.

This is okay.

Okay?

How far is Yakushima from here?

Hey, you're going?

Are you okay just wasting your life like that?

Either way, are you okay with your life now as it is?

What?

You're just always planning things.

You're not painting at all!

What are you saying you're a legendary painter?

How dare you.

My paintings are totally different from the dreams and hope you are talking about!

Listen carefully. It's not easy just treading the path you wanted and chose.

Right, Princess?

Princess...

There are a lot of patients who can use the beds.

You're saying that there won't be profits when there are no patients that change?

There is a patient who has been found of glycosuria

who is eating meals of other patients

in which you are the physician in charge.

This is not medical care at all.

But there is an explanation for that.

That doesn't matter!

As a doctor, it's a waste of your specialties!

I'm sorry about this.

It's okay, it can't be helped.

You have to change patients

as the beds are limited.

All hospitals have difficulties.

What?

I'm sorry.

To be honest, I'm in the same business.

What?

It's hard to say that a doctor has glycosuria.

That's why I confined myself here.

I'm sorry I lied.

So you are a doctor?

I understand. Doctors have to go and obey the company's rules.

That's why you are also doing that.

But be a doctor like that.

It's alright that I go visit Ms Shiga sometimes, right?

Of course.

Tatsu.

Laugh at me, Kurihara.

There's nothing I can do with Dr Nukita anymore.

At the very least, we should...

To think that the diagnosis came into conclusion in just a month

don't you think the results have changed?

You don't have to feel down about it!

I heard that you went to Mt Jounen when you two were in college.

What?

I heard that's when you two fell for each other.

Did we went there?

We did went to Mt Jounen.

I won't let you say you don't remember it.

She's Haruna. That's Dr Kurihara's wife.

Seems unbelievable, right?

Who would have thought that weirdo, Dr Kurihara who don't usually go home

would have such lovely wife.

You watched the stars when you were at Mt Jounen.

Hm?

But it's true that the stars were beautiful.

Then when Chiyo said

"The stars are beautiful."

You said, "The stars doesn't matter."

"What's important is you."

Huh? I didn't say that.

Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

And then I responded,

"Thank you very much".

Did I really said that?

It's a beautiful story.

Haru.

Please stay friends with Chiyo.

Yes.

Kuri.

Took awhile but here.

Isn't this...?

Yep.

Those are the 33 people I observed.

There is such a thing as hope.

Even at the ends of medical care with such harsh settings,

there is still hope.

Hope is...

You, Kuri.

And Dr Shindou.

You are the hope.

I'll leave the rest to you, Kuri.

Do you know what that is? That's Winter Triangle.

Ah.

Take a look.

Okay.

Your with that face again.

I always had this face.

Princess is worried you know.

She said that whenever you're having a difficult time, you hid yourself.

You forget she's actually there.

What?

I see. It's your bad habit.

Ah! Shooting star!

Heh, Princess!

Even if a shooting star passed, your wishes won't be heard, you know.

I wonder if it's possible that they would be able to see the stars again.

Stars?

The starry sky they saw at Mt Jounen.

It's hard that they leave the hospital.

We won't know when he'll collapse.

Jounen, huh?

When I was a kid living at this downtown

I watched the starry sky at the summit as much as possible.

But because of those recent vulgar billboards and neon signs

it's hard to see them now.

That is disappointing.

To think in the middle of the town

there's a billboard that says "24 hours, 365 days".

That's right. That sure is an eye distraction.

You would just want it out even once in a week.

It still can't be done even if you say it.

That is this town's last landmark that's lit up.

We can't put it out.

I was wrong.

What?

Dr Nukita is not dying.

He is passing his wisdom as a doctor.

He is saying that even though his medical practice is gone

our mission doesn't end.

It's still there.

Dr Nukita's job for people.

- Another one please. - Gotcha.

Oh, welcome!

- That seems fun. - Isn't it?

- Bartender, my bill.

Ah, are you alright, Ma'am?

I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just about to leave.

Ah. It's Dr Sunayama.

- Dr Sunayama! - Hush...

Hush it, Mizunashi. I have a bad feeling about this.

It's better to not get involved.

Bad feeling?

That's exactly a look of someone who's gonna do some mischief.

Let's go and leave.

Touzai!

Hey.

Where do you think you're taking me?

You'll be in big trouble, Kuri.

Ah, lovely.

What are you trying to do?

What a beautiful sight.

Even the stars.

You can somewhat see them even at this town.

That's right.

But it's not the same beautiful stars you saw when you were at Mt Jounen.

Of course.

We won't be able to see that kind of starry night anymore.

But this is enough.

It's lovely.

Thank you, Dr Kurihara.

No.

This is just the beginning.

Ah...

Chiyo...

Thank you...

for being with me for so long.

Thank you very much. Was she too much of a trouble?

We played a lot.

Kurihara will arrive soon.

Okay.

Natsuna, let's go home.

Natsuna, wake up.

I envy Kurihara.

He has someone close who can support him.

I'm also being supported.

By Kurihara who's always on duty?

He doesn't usually come home, right?

When we climbed the mountains and whenever it was hard

I always got reminded of Ichi.

I think that Ichi is climbing such rough distances again.

I feel better thinking that the next step would be easier.

Chiyo also said this.

She said that even if he's not there, his feelings will embrace me.

I'm sure that's it.

I really think I envy Kurihara.

I think we two are the same with you and Chinatsu.

I don't think so.

I'm not a mother yet and I'm also not a doctor,

But I think Chinatsu actually wanted to abandon her patients

and wanted to go where Natsuna is.

That's why I think it was really hard for her that she had to choose.

Who would have thought that you can see so many stars at this town.

That's true.

As long as you put the other lights off, all the stars lit up.

Yes?

It might have been me.

What?

I might have been the one who kept you dragging the most.

Since you're the mother,

you must have been wanting to be with Natsuna so bad.

I'm sorry.

Kurihara here is the same as always.

He's as awkward like always.

But...

There are people who supports him.

Even at Honjou hospital,

it's really not much,

but everyone supports each other.

I too.

Not just me...

If both of us...

No.

If us three...

can support each other too.

I wonder...

Chinatsu.

Is that...

alright with you?

Can you explain exactly why this happened?

Last night when lights are to be turned off at 9:05PM, around a minute time,

all throughout the different sections of this hospital, all the lights went out.

But once investigated, there was no problem at the electric system.

All medical equipments are functioning normally.

There is also a witness that said Dr Kurihara used the emergency elevator and went up to the heliport.

Isn't it just a simple blackout?

Even if there was a blackout, our hospital has its own generator to give electricity in exchange.

Also, during that same time,

where were you, Dr Shindou, when you left your duty to Dr Sunayama?

Someone turned off the 24 hours 365 days sign that should still be lit up!

This kind of occurence

will threaten the trust of medical care!

To think we are aiming to be the key hospital of the region,

to use of the heliport at that time

for just mere midnight entertainment!

It's not entertainment.

There's only one thing a doctor must do.

That is to treat the patients.

Is it alright just to give them cure?

Isn't that what a doctor is supposed to do?

Don't you think there is something else you can do even if there is no cure to their disease?

I've been hearing complaints from different departments one after the other.

Difficulties should be cleared first before following such ambitious ideals.

But still, I would rather...

Doctor. You would understand because you're a doctor.

Efficiently heal the illness that's right in front of you.

You have to complete the task as a business

for the sake of the patient, no, for the sake of the doctors.

Are you saying that we just abandon the patients who can't be cured?

Dr Kurihara.

Would you go as far as argue with your emotions?

Isn't it our job that to think about the future of the patients who can't be cured?

With the current medical location,

there is no room for pursuing such idealistic dreams!

Even if there is no bed available,

there are a lot of patients that are waiting to be hospitalized!

Even if there is no room,

there are times that you have to help no matter what.

Aren't you also a doctor?!

Be more aware that you are a doctor!

I'm not just talking about being a doctor! I'm talking about being a human!

We are human.

Us humans who die go to hospitals.

At the very least,

even if we are talking at a fragment of a human who is at life and death,

throwing away the math or the doctor's title,

even if there is only one body, I'm saying we have to save it.

Excuse me.

Here is the report regarding the power outage last night.

I apologize that I cut the electrical systems during the night.

Here is my written apology.

Excuse me.

You're letter of apology?

I have none.

You did turn off the lights at the nurse station's...

I'm telling that...!

I didn't.

What?

There was no accident like that last night.

The ward was all fine.

I think it's a misunderstanding.

- How dare you! - That's enough, I think.

But Director.

Luckily, there were no problems with the patients or staff at duty.

Let's just forget this incident.

But...

In this world, there is what we call common sense.

I don't like immature people who crush that common sense and let their ideals get ahead of themselves.

But I don't like young people who doesn't hold their ideals more.

I'll trust Nukita to you two.

It's cold.

Dear.

Can you hear?

I wonder...

where did...

they go...

What?

They were...

just there...

awhile ago...

Did they return...

to the mountain cabin?

If it's alright...

would you sit with me?

I love...

the summer...

at Jounen...

the most.

Chiyo...

the stars...

are beautiful...

The stars doesn't matter.

What's important is you.

Died 2:20PM.

Excuse me.

Yes.

I'm going there.

I see.

Thank you for calling, Dr Kurihara.

If we start the chemotherapy,

the consciousness will get blurry.

Fighting the fear of death,

he delayed his treatment to write these.

"We will make this hospital where anyone can consult anytime in this town."

We will inherit and continue his persisting will this time.

Dr Nukita.

These writings you precisely carved with your life,

these 33 charts,

are something that a doctor who's name is Seitarou Nukita exceeded,

are God's charts.

You're tired?

Not really.

I'm just thinking that during your rest days, the two of us can never be able to take a walk like this again.

Ah. You already have a photography schedule?

That is too far off, Ichi.

Ah.

I see.

From now on, it won't be just us two.

It would be three of us who will take a walk.

Yes.

Us three, huh.

I wonder us three walking would feel like.

I wonder.

But thinking about it makes me excited.

True.

Me too.

Natsuna. Come here and finish your food.

Look! Look!

Hm? Who is this?

Papa.

Isn't your papa handsome?

Yup! He's more handsome than Kurihara!

Natsuna, let me see.

Excuse me, home delivery!

Wait. I'll go get it.

Thanks.

Coming.

Please sign here.

Do you love tulips, Natsu?

You love those, huh.

It's a cake.

What?

It's a cake for Natsuna.

I'm going to open it.

"Dear Natsuna,"

"Happy birthday! -From Mama"

It's from Mama!

Happy birthday, Natsuna.

Would you like to put candles?

Yeah!

Okay.

Here.

Come here.

Oopsie.

Kurihara.

I lied to you.

What?

I've actually thought that if I come here, you'll surely be there.

That's why I chose the Honjou Hospital.

I was right.

I think I can at least,

continue with this work.

We would be in trouble if you didn't.

Because Honjou Hospital will be in more difficult times.

We're done.

What's wrong?

He thinks he'll get injections.

It's alright dear. We won't give you injections.

You won't get hurt. Come in.

Please call out if anything happens.

Ah. You feel pain in around the solar plexus.

- We'll need to get his ECG. - Coming.

Excuse me as I move your feet a bit.

Vomiting of blood at home. 62 years old adult male.

It's the same person who vomitted blood before.

Again?

You definitely pull in the patients, Dr Kurihara.

I see. Understood.

Dr Kurihara.

Your child has been born.

You're not going?

I have some work left undone.

Ah...

You'll just be a hindrance if you'll be acting like that.

Just go.

Come on, go.

Then, excuse me.
