Sato Azusa-san. Age 25.
Around 7:20 pm her husband found her lying in the lateral position in front of her house.
- Blood pressure is 73/46. - You are safe now.
Please hurry up and take her.
Sir, please calm down. We will arrive at the hospital shortly.
Stop writing notes and treat her.
- We are arriving in seven minutes. - Please hurry up.
[Sato Azusa]
It's placenta previa.
She probably lost consciousness from anemia caused by severe bleeding.
Although the bleeding has stopped, she should stay here for a while to be checked on.
- What about the baby? - Preterm labor is highly likely.
If she hemorrhages again in the next few weeks, she will have to have a C-section.
In some situations, the child may end up
an extreme low-birth-weight infant, less than a thousand grams. If that happens--
What do you mean 'preterm labor?' 'Less than a thousand grams?'
Is the baby going to survive? What do you think? Huh?
This is if she hemorrhages again.
There are cases when the baby is born naturally.
Really? Is that true?
It's true. I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
I got worried.
Doctor, please don't scare me.
You made me worry. It will be okay, right?
It needs no reason.
We are family, aren't we?
Why didn't you call me when Azusa-san collapsed?
She should have been examined at my hospital. You didn't have to feel bad for me.
It's not a big deal. She got out of the hospital quickly.
That's not the point.
I'm sorry for making you worry. But I'm fine now.
But having a preterm labor is serious, isn't it?
When I was told, I got really worried.
But if I can meet my sweet baby a day earlier, I'm thinking it won't be too bad.
- Don't take this so lightly. - You know what people say...
'Deliver a small baby and raise him big?'
Actually Azusa will have less pain that way.
Are you trying to come out early to help your mommy?
I collapsed too.
Stop sulking.
A woman is cute even if she sulks at 20 years old, when you round it off.
You are so rude.
- What a mean papa, huh? - Don't tell it unnecessary things.
No, I'm not.
Did they suddenly turn into doting parents?
It's strange, but worrying about the baby made me realize that I will be a father.
You can't realize that so easily.
You don't understand.
Since I have been your father figure it's so easy for me to become a father.
Being a father figure and becoming a father is totally different.
That's true. I don't remember you ever doing anything a father would.
Hey, have you been looking at my back?
Yeah, and I thought 'I don't want to have a hunchback like him.'
That's why you are a half-man who dropped out of high school.
- It's because you raised me wrong. - Please stop.
I'll tell on you to this baby.
How desperate are you to be liked by your child?
- You understand me, right, Hikari? - I've never thought of you as my father either.
You too? Don't say that.
I can't help it. We are only four years apart.
You were too busy making money for the family.
I had to take care of everything by myself.
By the way what do you think a father is supposed to be like?
Work... Earn money and take care of the family.
Japan... working in remote and 'hurray.'
- Did you come to Japan to work? - Don't make a fool of me.
To me, a father's life is about work.
- How can you say that when you are jobless? - Shut your mouth.
I will find a job right away.
All right.
I'll find one.
- Asa-nii. - Hmm?
Are you all right?
Of course. Why are you asking me that?

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
- That's for Madoka-chan, right?
Why are you making it now?
She will be transferred here from her hospital today.
She has been having apnea and her mother wants no one but Dr. Shinjo to examine her.
Hey... the other day--
Sato-san.
Didn't I tell you not to devote yourself to a specific patient?
I'm sorry. Yes, I will finish it soon.
Doctor Utsumi, Doctor Takeda was looking for you.
The periventricular leukomalacia has advanced quite a bit.
It's unlikely that she will be able to walk on her own.
When her condition is stabilized she should start taking physical therapy.
If I tell my husband that she will have disabilities, I don't know what he will say.
Nakagawa-san.
This is Madoka-chan's photo album.
I will finish it by the time she leaves the hospital.
Please don't tell the head nurse about this.
How long will you keep her here?
It depends on her condition, but she may have to stay here for a long time.
Good.
Because I can't do it by myself.
That's not true.
If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have delivered her.
Cheers to the theatrical group, Bluehall, for their first successful performance.
- I will give a toast for the third time. - It's the fourth.
- Is it the fourth? Cheers! - Cheers!
You worked so hard.
I'm happy that it ended without any trouble.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Hey.
Hmm?
I was thinking of telling you this after the closing day.
Will you go out with me?
Great work.
Hey, you aren't even a member of our group but you are drinking our juice.
Why did you do that? We are having a serious conversation.
What is it? Did something happen?
He confessed to me.
What?
You ruined it.
All right. I will ask you too.
He is a nice guy. You are soaking wet.
Really nice guy. He is sincere.
Well, his face isn't as good looking as mine
but you can consider it as kind of handsome, right?
And he is kind.
He is the kindest of all my siblings.
And I think he is smarter than those regular people.
- And well-- - I see.
- What? - What?
Sure, if you don't mind it's me.
Really?
Seriously?
- Haru-nii, thank you. - Hey, what are you doing?
- I did it! - You smell like malt. All right.
- I'm happy for you. Good for you. - Thank you, Haru-nii.
Good, good.
- It's your first time, isn't it? - My first time.
- Your first girlfriend. - My first girlfriend.
Thank you.
It's celebrating for me. Thank you.
I wasn't sure... if I was ever... going to find a girlfriend.
But I found one. Thank you. Thank you.
You are too loud.
Fly high, fireworks! Thank you. Everyone, thank you.
I'm home.
Oh, you are home, Hikari.
- Hikari, Hikari, hurry up. Hurry up. - What is it? What?
Don't worry about your shoes.
You came home at the perfect time.
Just sit down.
- What is going on? - Asahi-san came up with the baby's name.
I will announce it. Ta-da.
- Sato Taro. What a nice name. - So ordinary.
First of all, why Taro?
When I hear the name Taro, I can only think of Kimura Taro-san.
When he is on Super News, he can answer Ando Yuko's incisive questions.
I want the baby to be full of vitality like him.
The reason is too fanatic. And he's not on Super News anymore.
What? He isn't?
- What about a girl name? - What?
What do you mean 'what?' I'm sure you've thought about it, right?
Of course.
If it's a girl, it will be that... that...
Taking the Chinese character from Taro's 'Ta' (Futo)...
- It's Futoko. - Why are you obsessed with Kimura Taro?
Futoko (thick child) sounds like telling her to get chubby.
It's okay.
Even if she is born small, if she gobbles up food she will grow big.
- Right, Hikari? - I hope that is going to happen.
What's wrong? You don't look excited.
You aren't happy with the name Futoko?
- Then how about Futomi? - Please no 'Futo.'
- Asa-nii. - Huh?
Do you know what extreme low-birth-weight babies are?
Yeah, a thousand grams or something, right?
Babies who are under a thousand grams.
The baby that I'm in charge of now was 600 grams when she was born.
Today I saw her mother for the first time in a while.
She looked exhausted.
- She was depressed mentally-- - So what?
Are you saying that our baby will be the same?
The doctor said it's possible that we can have a healthy delivery.
And if she has to have a preterm delivery we don't have to worry too much.
- Even if that happens-- - It will be too late when that happens.
If that happens, you won't be able to take care of the baby.
Are you trying to say that they shouldn't have the baby?
That's one of the ways to think about it.
You are allowed to abort a baby before the 22nd week of gestation by law--
- Don't say that. - Now is--
Don't give me that.
- How dare you say that to your family. - I'm telling you because you are my family.
I understand you conceived the baby and you want to raise it.
But raising that baby might be totally different from what you imagine.
The girl's mother told me... she wishes she didn't deliver her.
But we can't do such a thing.
By the way, what is this 22nd week rule about aborting a baby?
What is in between the 22nd week and 21st week?
It's not like the baby will become a human all of a sudden after the 22nd week, right?
The baby is living on the sixth day of the 21st week.
That means we are going to kill it.
I don't want to tell you this either.
But if a small baby is born, the baby is at risk just by getting a cold.
And that's not all.
The baby could have physical disabilities and slow intellectual development.
Well, if that happens, you will need support from people around you, huh?
I'm not going to make trouble for you guys.
You don't have a job or money.
If a small life lies on top of you, it's clear that you will be overloaded.
I want to give birth to it.
I want to deliver and raise this baby.
You see, it's moving in my belly.
It responds when I talk to it.
- I understand how you fee-- - No, you don't.
You don't understand because you've never been a mother.
I'm sorry.
But I don't want to give up this baby's life.
All right. I've decided.
I will find a new job by the 22nd week. Then you have nothing to complain about, right?
That's not the point.
That is the point.
You said it too.
How can I raise a new life with no job and no money?
I want the baby in the belly to feel secure because I'm its father.
And if you fail, she will have an abortion?
That's...
That's not going to happen.
All right.
This girl, her name is Kana.
She was my closest friend in high school.
Kana got pregnant in the first year of high school.
She couldn't decide if she should have the baby or not.
In the end, I urged her and she decided to have the baby.
Moena-chan. We thought of her name together.
She was really adorable.
But right after she was born, the man ran away.
Kana couldn't afford to enjoy being with her.
The money that she earned from working part-time wasn't enough.
She developed neurosis from raising her.
Moena-chan was taken into an institution within a year.
At that time, Kana said to me...
'By telling me to give birth irresponsibly'
'you ruined my life. It's all your fault.'
What is she doing now?
I haven't seen Kana since then.
I don't know what happened to Moena-chan either.
Is that the reason why you are against delivering the baby?
[Incoming call from Home]
It's late already.
[Home]
Thank you for the drink.
Thank you for having me.
- Ah, I'm home. - Hey.
- Where have you been? - What? Just taking a walk.
I'm coming in.
What is it?
Are you all right?
What is this all of a sudden?
I just felt like...
I'm all right.
What? I don't know why.
What is this?
I'm sorry. I don't know why.
Sorry, sorry. It's weird, isn't it?
Yes.
It's weird.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's nothing.
I'm surprised.
'Everything will be all right if I find a job.' That's what that idiot thinks.
There isn't much time left until the 22nd week, right?
What if he can't find a job?
Beats me. I think he just wants to be serious.
If you can't live for your child you shouldn't have a baby.
You are pretty harsh on the issue.
I wasn't ready for that so I aborted a child.
Don't look at me like that.
It was a long time ago.
I'm not regretting what I did.
I thought it was for the sake of the child.
What's important is if you can make the child happy after it's born, right?
- What? - No, you are right.
- If that's really what you think. - What do you mean?
I thought you were trying to get rid of the guilty feeling by telling me casually.
Your mom told me.
She was worried that you might get deceived in Tokyo because you are pure.
You moved to Tokyo because you wanted to earn money by doing music.
The reason you gave up the dream has something to do with the story you just told me--
All right, the end.
Let's go.
Labor is a sign of life.
Hurry up and finish the rest of the work.
I will make it up to you if I hurt your feelings.
Although you can't forget about that other woman?
Bingo.
I'm not that easy to get.
Sato Asahi. I'm 29 years old.
I applied to your company because I thought I could utilize my skills and knowledge that
I gained in the last 14 years at your company.
I'm sorry?
Why did you quit the company that you worked for for 14 years?
- The reason why I quit the company? - Yes.
Actually, well...
My younger brother was arrested for doing something.
You were fired because he was arrested?
- No, that wasn't what happened. - What happened then?
Well, because...
I...
I jump-kicked the owner who made fun of my brother.
It sounds very outrageous.
I'm sorry.
Can you show us what you did?
May I?
It's called a dropkick.
The distance from here to the window... you jump and kick.
It's all right. Show it to us.
Are you sure? Excuse me.
- I'm ready. - Young man.
Please stay in your seat. I can't do it to you.
I will do it from here. Here I come.
I've hated you. I hate you.
It was like this.
Oh, I wouldn't do this usually.
Really. I'm a very mild person.
Yes, really.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Start with wiping her eyes gently like this.
Here.
Yes, you are doing great.
Doesn't it feel good, Madoka-chan?
What are you doing?
You did such an unnecessary thing while I was on my business trip.
There are other babies here. Please keep your voice down.
Doctor, my wife took her here without telling me.
- Can you send her back to the other hospital? - I would like to listen to you over there.
Please send her back to the other hospital right away.
I understand.
However we can't do it right away. We need to prepare many things.
Then please do it as quickly as possible.
Hey.
Shiho.
Nakagawa-san.
I'm sorry... I'm a terrible mother.
[Not hired]
All rejected.
Why is it?
You know why.
Why do you re-enact the jump kick?
I bet you told them about Satoru-san's case too.
I don't think you should tell them about Satoru-san.
He has nothing to do with this. The reason I can't find a job is me.
But the impression of being family with the perpetrator who was in the news isn't too good.
Even if it's so, it's okay.
He has a job now and is living with us.
We are that close, but I don't talk about him?
It's like I'm denying his existence and I don't like it.
I understand, but people who don't know Satoru-san will judge you by his crimes.
But I don't think I can work for a long time at a company that cares about Satoru's past?
You are saying nice words.
But right now your first priority is to find a job.
I know. I'm thinking very seriously too.
I'm home.
Where are you going?
It's not going well.
I'm sorry for the other day. I told you that you don't understand.
Me too. I was only saying negative things.
I couldn't help it because I was anxious.
- Anxious? I shouldn't deliver this baby? - No, that's not what I meant.
It's about my own problems.
Like you said, I don't understand how it feels like to be a mother.
No, I don't even know what a mother is like.
One of the reasons is that I lost my mother when I was small.
So I'm anxious and insecure...
I don't know why I'm saying this.
Sorry, sorry.
I see.
Hot.
What are you doing at a place like this?
I agree with her.
You shouldn't tell people about me.
Were you listening?
You know people always say 'Honesty does not pay.'
It's okay. Even I don't get paid.
I'm stupid anyway.
When I became determined to be a father the first thing that came to mind was
Dad who was always working up a sweat.
I was proud of Dad who lived life working.
And by looking at his back, I saw our family.
I want to be the same.
That's why, finding a job while hiding about you...
I don't want to do things that I have to keep secret from my child.
Even though you are stupid you are thinking in your own way.
Shut your mouth, stupid.
That poor Azusa-chan.
A man who is a junior high graduate, has no licenses, is almost 30...
jump kicked the company owner, and has an ex-convict brother.
Is there an amazing company that would hire a man like that?
If you can find one, that's a miracle.
Right, a miracle...
I like that.
I will create one.
There is no medicine to cure his stupidity.
Right?
A little bit more.
You haven't changed at all.
You eat so much when you are depressed.
Okay, it was good, wasn't it?
What do you think, Mother?
You'd deliver the baby if I tell you to do so? And you wouldn't if I tell you not to?
That's very irresponsible.
It's not like that.
Then why are you asking me that?
You are the mother of the child in your belly, right?
Then you have to decide it on your own.
Don't make a face like that.
Whichever you decide to do, I will support you 100 percent.
Because I'm your mother.
Yes.
Eat up. I spent extra money on the food.
Are you okay to work?
The doctor said you should be resting.
It can't be helped.
We should save money while I can work.
As soon as I find a job, you don't have to do this.
No worries.
- The bento of the day. - Welcome.
- Can you give me less rice? - Certainly.
Asahi-kun.
- Did you find a job? - Not yet.
Make sure to pay me back the 300 thousand yen, okay?
- I will. - Thank you for waiting.
That was quick.
It's 430 yen.
Thank you very much.
Boss.
What?
Boss. Wait.
I got you.
W-wait, why are you running away?
The jump kick...
I would never do that again.
Boss, if you are okay with it, do you think I can work for you again?
- I'm not okay with it. - What?
I've hated you all these years too.
What?
Why wouldn't I?
I always remember your father every time I see your face.
I hired you to atone for what I did.
Although you never liked me even until the end.
- Asahi. - Yes.
Someone I know owns an iron factory and says he could hire a worker.
Do you want me to introduce you to him?
Really?
I'm sure it's been hard for you but hang on.
I'm glad.
Good morning. You are early.
Today she will be moved to another hospital.
What?
It must have been decided suddenly.
Ah! Please wait for a little bit.
I'll be back right away.
All right.
- Do you have your resume? - Yes.
- Handkerchief? - I do.
I will get a job with this interview and perform a miracle.
Yes.
Ah, wait a minute.
Huh? What is it?
There is an envelope in my room.
Envelope?
There is a photo album inside. I'm sorry, but can you bring it to the hospital?
I have to go to a job interview now.
Is there anyone else?
Okay. Since it's near the company that I'm getting interviewed, I'll bring it to you.
Thank you.
Ouch.
- Excuse me. - Be careful.
Um, are you Nakagawa Madoka-chan's...
Ah, I thought you were.
I am a family member of the nurse who works at this hospital named Sato Hikari.
I came to bring the photo album.
And is this yours?
I'm sorry but I looked at some of the photos.
Is it okay to give it to her now?
What should I do?
I guess it's okay.
Well, this is the photo album. And this.
Good luck.
It can't be helped.
What?
She didn't do anything wrong.
It can't be helped.
Well, good bye... Good luck.
[Pediatric Ward, Nurse Station]
Ah, excuse me. Sato--
Have you seen Nakagawa-san and Madoka-chan?
While I was confirming her transfer to another hospital, they disappeared.
- Her transfer hasn't been decided yet. - Then where did they go?
Is that the girl in the photo album?
I saw her outside.
What?
I said to her 'good luck.' Then she said 'it can't be helped.'
- Why did you tell her that? - Was it bad?
It's dangerous to take her outside now. We will split up and look for them.
Yes. I will look for them outside.
- Uehara-san, you should stay here. - I'm sorry.
- Can you look for them too, Asa-nii? - But I have a job interview after this--
What the heck?
I'm sorry.
I'm a pediatrician, Shinjo.
Did a woman holding a baby pass by you?
No, I didn't see anyone like that here.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Did you see a woman holding a baby?
We've been here for about 20 minutes, but we didn't see her.
I see.
Did you find them?
No.
Did Nakagawa-san say she was going somewhere?
No, but she was constantly looking at something in the distance
when I was talking to her.
- Don't tell me... - What?
What did you just say? Hey.
Nakagawa-san.
Don't you think Madoka-chan got heavier?
She is gaining weight.
She is growing.
At first when I talked to Madoka-chan, she was looking with vacant eyes.
But gradually she looked like she was smiling.
When she squeezed my finger back I couldn't stop crying.
She made me happy.
I realized that she was trying to live.
She couldn't talk or make facial expressions well.
But her eyes are truly beautiful.
And she would look straight at me with them.
Sometimes I can't bear her pure eyes when she looks at me.
I'm not good.
I'm not self-confident.
About my job, family and future...
Recently my older brother asked me if I was all right.
I told him that I was all right, but tears started falling from my eyes.
I'm actually not all right.
I'm full of anxiety.
I'm really not good enough.
That's why I've been encouraged by Madoka-chan.
Her smile saved me many times.
Mother.
Mother?
There is a person who is really happy that Madoka-chan was born.
There is a person who needs her.
Please.
Let me see her again.
Please let me see her adorable smile.
Please, and...
Please make me think 'I can't give up now.'
Please. Please.
[Nakagawa Madoka-chan, Growth Record]
I couldn't support her.
But you can.
Is that it?
What did you do?
I'm busy.
- Nakagawa-san. - Such an unimportant thing.
All of you too.
I'm sure you are just hanging around.
- But making a fuss as if it is a big deal. - It is a big deal.
Your wife couldn't tell anyone about her distress.
You people are the ones who cornered her.
This thing that would break if you touch it... you forced it to live.
- How dare you say that? - Asa-nii.
Who are you?
She is your child.
How could you say that?
Then do you think this child will have a happy life?
No matter how hard she tries she won't be able to live like an ordinary person.
How can a child like that be happy?
It needs no reason.
It's not about if she can be happy or not.
It's her parents who will make her happy.
Every child is depending on their parents and their support.
You protect her and stand by her side.
That's what a parent does.
What... what do you know?
Enough.
Let's go.
What is it?
- I will raise her. - What are you talking about?
What can you do by yourself?
I will raise her.
I haven't seen her smile yet.
That's why I want to see it.
I want to see Madoka's smile.
I want to see it.
Do whatever you want.
If you kept going, I'd have to kick you out.
I apologize.
- But you know what... - Yeah?
For a second, I thought you would be able to do it, Asa-nii.
I told you so from the beginning.
Was the interview okay?
Huh? Ah! Oh no.
Oh no.
How was it?
No good. I was more than three hours late.
I see.
I told you that I was pregnant here.
Right.
Many things happened since then.
You proposed to me.
We got our marriage registration.
We got a mother-and-child booklet.
I wear a maternity sign when I go out now.
We were so excited when we saw the baby in the sonogram
and got scolded by the doctor.
We should give up.
I feel like God is telling us not to deliver this child.
Azusa.
I don't want to give up either.
But at this rate...
The day you think this child is a burden will come.
It's too painful.
You are doing what you have to do.
But sometimes things don't work out even though you really want them to.
I just want to live an ordinary life.
Ouch.
Oh, S-Sugiura-san?
Huh? You are...
- So it is you. - I'm sorry.
What is it? Are you still frustrated?
Oh no, no...
But actually I got fired recently and haven't been able to find a new job.
I see. Then do you want to work with us?
As a wrestler?
Hell no.
As a guard. For our association.
Are you sure?
Come see me tomorrow. I will introduce you to them.
But I...
I am a junior high graduate, almost 30, have no license
and my younger brother has been arrested--
I asked you because I like you.
I don't give a damn about them.
Sugiura-san.
- Ouch. - Bye.
Thank you very much. Thank you in advance.
A miracle happened.
Yeah.
- I'm glad. - I'm glad.
All right. Let's have the baby.
Yeah, but let's not name her Futoko.
Why not? It's fine, right, Futoko?
Don't call her that.
This is a monthly event organized by a group that supports children who can't
live with their parents.
The girl in the pink shirt.
That's Moena-chan.
Hmm?
Kana?
Your friend became independent and got her daughter back.
Now she is helping this organization with her daughter.
Take this, a watermelon bomb.
Mommy, can you come?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Okay.
