What isthat?

It's the label for Goro's Entertainment.

It's good, eh?

That feels a little hasty.

The company hasn't been founded yet.

It's OK because we'll start it sooner or later.

Right, Mr. President?

Hey, should we make this LOGO a little bigger?

There you go!

It's almost complete...

the perfect network support model game.

Wow, it'll definitely be a big hit.

If so, we have to found the company for real.

You sure talk big, Mr. Goro.

You idiot. I mean what I say.

I'm not exaggerating.

I truly believed that this scene would last forever.

At least, until things started going downhill.

The result of the examination has been released.

It's chronic malignant leukemia.

Goro has...?

Your brother, Yuichi,

is in the chronic phase now.

But the acute phase will begin in a few years.

After that, he will have six months to live.

If he receives a hematopoietic stem cell transplant

during the chronic phase,

the rate of recovery will increase.

But if a donor isn't found,

we will have no choice

but to use anti-cancer drugs

to treat the symptoms.

In any case, I will take samples of your blood

to see whether or not

they match your brother's type.

If there isn't a match,

I'll contact a bone marrow bank

to see if they have a suitable donor.

Thank you very much.

What's the matter with you.

Nothing.

Yeah...

What! Yuichi...

Yes, he has gone to see the doctor.

So, are you ok? What about the cost?

Worse than that is Yuichi.

Even though there was so many things

he still wanted to do...

I'll get a job.

Like at a transporting agency...

What about your dreams, Goro?

What about the software company?

I don't want you

to give up on your hopes for me...

But...

If you give up, I'll regret it forever.

Goro...

Ah, nothing.

I'll make this application a hit

and put our name on the list of billionaires!

Yeah. We have to.

Sis', you got fiired from your company.

Huh?

I got a call from someone at the company.

A bill collector has contacted them about you.

It's okay.

I'll fiind a new job soon.

You tell me...

When will you repay the money to me.

Mr. Murata!

Hey, who are you?

None of your business.

Come on.

You are a good cook.

It's a pity that...

Why don't you talk to me outside?

Well, okay.

You don't need

to worry about me so much, okay?

Hey, Yuichi.

What? Your sister?

Alright, I'll be there as soon as possible.

Just take it easy.

Come on.

Get away!

Yukiko

You should be okay

because I can extend

the repayment period for you.

Even if you help me out a little bit,

you won't face a penalty.

No!

Also, I'll show you a good bar,

so you should be able to

repay the loan in six months.

Please stop!

Don't take that tone with me!

I was just trying to be nice.

Stop!

Mr. Goro...

Oh, here comes lover boy.

Stop!

Disgusting.

This is a lawful debt collection.

You a**hole...

Ahhhh!

Come on.

I'm late.

I told you not to come to the table

after me under any circumstances.

I apologize.

It would be good

ifyou'd get that through your head.

Sit down.

What about Yuichi?

He left and said that he would be back soon.

There's also that thing about his body.

He shouldn't be going out much...

I'll tell him that.

Well, shall we eat?

Yes.

Hey... I was waiting for you!

For a really long time!

But the internet environment

probably changed a whole lot

while I was inside.

You know well, don't you.

Can I be of any use to you for something?

I rent an apartment close to my company.

Please use it.

Izumi...

You'll regain those fiive years you lost soon.

Let's work hard.

Yeah...

Oh, that's right.

Aface you miss wants to see you.

Aface I miss?

Come in.

Welcome back.

Yuichi

What about your body?

Nothing.

I see.

I got a letter from your sister while I was in jail.

She married a rich industrialist

who's more than 20 years her senior...

Actually, I've been holding

a message from her.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for what I have done to you.

I am now very happy.

And I wish you happy, too.

From Yukiko

Ah...

Ouch...

You are good.

It hurt...

Hurt more!

Satisfy me!

It hurt...

Good...

Is it good, Yukiko

Hey!

That...that...!

In that house, my sister is the same as a puppet

whofollows her husband's every order.

But she puts up with it

to pay for my treatment expenses.

I'm sorry. If I had more assets...

Do you still love my sister?

When I received her letter,

honestly, I gave up on her.

If she's happy, it would be better

to just give up...

but...

Mr. Goro?

Yuichi still isn't home?

He just went to meet his old friend,

so maybe he will be home soon.

He's not healthy.

Aren't you being a little hard on him?

Thank you very much.

You are mine.

Yeah. Call her Aya.

Yes.

I delivered your message to Mr. Goro.

It's really good you guys didn't meet.

We defiinitely can't meet anymore...

After all, you're walking down different paths.

Sister...

Master, someday, instead of your wife,

I could be your...

Hey, sister

What? What's the matter?

Yukiko...

Goro...why...?

I asked Yuichi to let me meet you.

You're worn out, aren't you?

You're one to talk.

This shirt...

Goro's Entertainment

Ah...

I'm going fiirst!

From Yuichi, I heard the aftermath of the incident.

You said you were working in a cabaret club

in order to repay your debt?

You never wrote down the story in your letter.

I didn't want you to worry about me.

I couldn't do anything because

I was in jail for fiive years....

I have no choice

but to apologize to you about that time.

I think you heard,

but he still hasn't found a donor.

But it still costs money.

That's why you married....

My husband is very nice to us.

Yukiko, are you happy now?

Of course.

Well, it's good....

It may be just my opinion,

but...we should be better

not to meet anymore.

Yeah...

Goodbye.

Jail...

Five years ago...

Yukiko, how was it?

Please, don't waste my time.

What?

I'm satisfiied with my life.

Yukiko!

What is that?

It's the label for Goro's Entertainment.

It's good, eh?

That feels a little hasty.

The company hasn't been founded yet.

It's OK because we'll start it sooner or later.

Right, Mr. President?

Hey, should we make this LOGO a little bigger?

There you go!

It's almost complete...

the perfect network support model game.

Wow, it'll defiinitely be a big hit.

If so, we have to found the company for real.

Yukiko

I was told that

we shouldn't meet anymore.

Do you think that comes from the heart?

My sister still loves you.

Did Yukiko lie down with another man...?

Ifyou're just guessing,

I won't forgive you

for making me imagine that.

Just take a look at this article.

Man Kills Yakuza Member to Protect Lover

It was defiinitely this guy.

The woman "K', this guy's lover,

was your wife at the time.

K is Kitahara.

She was sneaking around with her ex-boyfriend

while she was married to you.

If I were your wife,

I would never betray you....

Master...

Mr. Masashi...

You were meeting Goro Yazaki?!

It was...

It was what!?
