"Serial TV Story"
Eh? You're going to be a surgeon?
I'd like to put the medicine I've learned so far to use.
That's what I think.
I'll be fighting with Shigeki.
Please...
...be happy!

"By the Spring of Showa 19 (1944)..."
"...rumors had started to spread that the Japanese military was having a hard time..."
"...and the circumstances with food became increasingly bad as everything was rationed."
Saba again. (mackerel)
Shh! Your rations will get cut back.
If she hears that, she'll say, "you must not like it much."
Oh no.
- Here. - Thank you very much.
If you would please.
Not everyone in your family likes Saba, do they?
Eh? No! All three of us in our family love Saba!
We always look forward to it.
- Really...? - Yes!
Your biggest one, please.
Here.
"Sold out for today"
What's this? Have you sold out?
We're very sorry.
I'm sorry, truly.
"Even if we wanted to sell something, we had nothing to sell."
"That was a tough thing for a businessman."
Your mail. Maruyama Yoko-san.
Yes! Thanks for your hard work.
It's from my older brother.
- Oh. - I see.
"To Maruyama Yoko-sama"
"It was a letter informing me..."
"...that Haruki-niisan would be starting his trip to the front."
Welcome!
Haruki... thanks for waiting.
No. We haven't spoken in a while.
Ah, can I get your Zousai? (hodgepodge soup)
Ah... yes.
How's it going at the factory?
Ah, we're hurrying with development.
All of us are desperate to somehow make newer, more powerful machines even one day sooner.
Somehow, Dad, you look exhausted.
Is your health okay?
Thank you.
I still have a ways to go before I reach the age where you guys need to worry about me.
I'm sorry.
So you're going, huh?
Yes.
I see.
I thought I'd go see Yoko in Matsumoto, too.
Ah, you should. Yoko would be thrilled.
No, in fact she'd be angry if you didn't.
Yes.
I see.
You're going, huh?
Yes.
Haruki.
Yes?
I can't tell you that I'm 100 percent in support of this.
Haruki, it's just I...
Dad!
I understand.
I understand your feelings.
So please don't say it.
Thank you.
I had a talk with Shigeki before he left.
Huh?
He said that if I became a doctor...
...I should make a clinic in Azumino called "Doctor Sudo's Clinic."
Oh?
He said I'd get married and have a child...
...and Shigeki would live nearby, too...
...and, oh yes, Yoko, too...
We never thought Yoko would get married so quickly back then though.
And that Yoko would live nearby...
And that Dad'd be a grandfather by that time.
I see...
A Grandpa, huh...
Yes.
He was enjoying himself having that talk.
I see...
Yeah, it does sound like he was enjoying it.
Yes.
Does anyone know of a hospital around here?
My girl! My girl is...!
What's happened?
Let's first lay her down. Dad.
Got it.
- Ma'am, over here. - Yes.
Ma'am, don't worry. I'm a doctor.
Thank you very much!
Please! Please!
Open your mouth and say ahh...
She'll be okay, it'll be okay!
He's a doctor from the Sudo Clinic in Azumino.
"Sudo Medical Clinic"
What could have happened to him?
You're late, Haru-niisan...
Geez! Why did you come that way!?
Haru-niisan, you idiot!
Sorry, sorry.
That was a good sound.
Geez!
Ah!
Yo!
Geez! Why did you come that way!? Haru-niisan, you idiot!
Sorry, sorry...
What's so funny?!
Don't get so angry, Yoko.
Oh, that was a good sound.
Geez!
I was really worried about you, after all.
Sorry. It's my fault, Yoko. Don't get so angry.
I just went to visit Dad.
And then a bunch of things happened.
Is Dad doing okay?
Yeah, he's doing fine.
Ah, I see... Thank goodness.
Ala, my, Haruki-san.
Ah... Hello.
Yo, Haruki-kun. Now, now, come in, come in.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry for selfishly forcing myself on you like this.
What are you saying?
I'll get angry if you say such things.
Yes, I understand.
When you get angry you get very scary, so I won't say it.
That's right...
Huh?
Why are you laughing, Yoko?
No, no.
Sorry about not having any soba.
Ah, we do have udon, so eat that.
Eh? You shouldn't. Thank you very much.
No, no. Well, sorry for not having soba.
No, no, there's this. If anything, I prefer udon.
Ala? Oh, really?
Ala? Well, well... I thought it would be best just to say that now...
I truly prefer soba.
Ah, really sorry. I'm truly sorry.
Well, we can't get any soba at all.
No, no, no...
- Huh? - What should I do?
Ah, itadakimasu!
Go ahead!
Yeah, this is delicious! The best.
Really?
Ah... Maybe about next to best...
What's that?
Look, look, you're troubling Haruki-san.
Don't bother him anymore! For pete's sake!
I'm not... Right, right, Haruki-kun?
Yes.
Well, you are troubling me a little.
Eh?!
Ah, I'm sorry!
Stop troubling him! Please stop it!
Ah... Sorry for borrowing Kazunari-kun's yukata.
No.
You married into a wonderful family.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm glad. Really glad.
I'm happy.
Yeah...
You'll be okay.
Yes.
Say, Yoko...
I was always the honor student.
I'm a boring guy, aren't I?
I've never thought such a thing.
Really?
I love you, Haru-niisan.
If I can just endure it for a little longer...
I'll do that.
Before she passed away, Mom called for me.
"You should get angry more and cry more," she said.
I still can't get angry or cry very easily, but...
At the end...
I thought I should try those things for myself at the end.
I wish you wouldn't say, "at the end."
Yeah, sorry.
Um... Yoko, here.
"Machiko-sama"
If you find out I won't be returning, will you hand this to her?
It would be regrettable to die without having told her of my feelings.
I understand of course.
I suspect Machiko-san will be troubled by it...
...but this is my final act of selfishness.
So please!
I will.
Thanks, Yoko.
Yeah.
"Haruki-niisan started his trip to the front as a surgeon early the next morning."
"I've regretted ever since wondering if I should have told..."
"...Haru-niisan what Machiko's feelings for him were."
"And, at that same time..."
Eh?
Nakanishi-kun's death has likely been confirmed.
It's said that the ship he was on had an accident on its way back to Japan.
