Saki Nee-chan.

Are you all right?

I told them the truth.

I'm sorry.

I don't believe it.

You're going to get well, Saki Nee-chan.

Please, I beg you.

Please save Saki.

- I'm home. - Was Saki all right?

She was all right, wasn't she?

I'll tell you the truth.

Don't lie to me!

I don't want to believe that Saki Nee-chan's going to die either.

No such thing is going to happen!

Dear, I beg you. Please save that child.

Please save Saki!

Saki...!

Why Saki Nee...

The whole family was stricken with grief.

Fuku-chan's most beloved Saki Nee-chan.

Everyone was hoping for a miracle.

Everyone.

I'm going out to meet with President Endo.

Think of a new product, Tachibana.

All right.

Be careful on your way.

Did you have a fight or something with Kajitani-san?

Kajitani-san's been meeting with President Endo a lot these days.

Riso Engineering Employee

TAKENOHARA DAISAKU

Who is he?

I'm not sure.

You're not paying any attention.

"I sincerely hope there will come a day when my sister is well and I will get to see you again."

Imai Fukuko

Hello.

- Selling on the black market? - Yeah.

Things like metals and electronic parts are appearing everywhere.

Since they're military supplies, the military police is frantically looking for the culprit.

Who would do such a thing?

Well, the future of the war is becoming uncertain.

It's not surprising that there would be folks who'd take advantage of the situation to commit crimes.

What? You called me out to tell me that?

Do I need a reason every time I want to have lunch with you?

Aren't we friends?

Well yes...

How's your sister doing?

- She'll be able to come home by summer, right? - Probably.

Then you'll be able to see Tachibana-san soon, won't you?

Yes.

Hoshina-san.

I'll give you this.

You gave me one last time.

I'm not going to make the same mistake again.

Feelings don't get conveyed unless you put them into words.

W-what do you mean?

Hoshina-san, I...like you!

What?

It's so sudden, I don't know what to say...

Do you remember me?

I'm Maki Zennosuke.

I'm a dentist.

I felt destiny the moment I saw you.

Destiny?

I have fallen in love with you.

What!

Oh, Fukuko. Did you get off work early today?

Mom.

She's been here all day.

How are you feeling?

I feel good today. I'm not coughing either.

That's right. You must feel reassured when I'm here.

As the saying goes, "Disease starts in the mind."

When Saki was about 4 or 5, she ran a fever

and the doctor recommended that she be hospitalized, but

she insisted she didn't want to be away from Mom.

I stayed beside her and nursed her all night,

and the next day she was all well. Right?

I told you, I don't remember.

Are you really all right?

Yes.

Look. Aren't they pretty?

Thanks, Mom.

What's the matter?

I'm going to the hospital every day.

Saki really didn't cough badly today.

Her complexion was good, and she laughed a lot too.

Saki will get well if I stay with her.

That doctor must be a quack.

It just doesn't make sense that Saki's going to die.

Tachibana-san referred us to a quack. There's no way Saki is going to die!

You're right. He must be a quack.

You'll stay away from a man like that, won't you, Fukuko?

Don't make me worry more.

Imai-san~. I have a telegram for you.

Telegram...

Thank you.

"Saki in critical condition."

- Mom. - Bring me camphor.

Saki!

Saki Nee-chan! Why so suddenly?

She was doing so well this afternoon.

Her lungs can't take it any more.

You can't go, Saki Nee. Don't die!

- Hang in there, Saki-san! - Open your eyes, Saki.

No way, no way...Saki Nee-chan...

Open your eyes! Saki!

Saki...

I'm sorry...Dear...

I'm sorry...

Katsuko... Tadahiko-san...

Fukuko...

Mom...

Thank you...

Saki Nee-chan?

She has passed away.

Saki...!

Saki Nee...

Saki...!

Saki Nee-chan...

Saki Nee-chan. Saki Nee-chan!

Saki Nee-chan!

Saki Nee-chan! Saki Nee-chan!

Saki Nee-chan...

Saki...

Saki...

Saki...!

Fukuko-san.

My sister passed away last Tuesday.

After you referred us to such a good hospital...

Thank you for everything.

If you'll excuse me.
