A wolf.

Bingo.

And this?

A cat?

Bingo.

What about this one?

A crab.

Bingo.

Alright, then...

How about this?

A swan.

Well done!

Then...

What's this?

I give up.

Good day. I'm Shohei Sasaki.

In the 3 years I was at high school,

I was called "The Germ!"

I hated that horrible nickname.

You still don't remember

me? Speak up, girl!

Doctor?

Nothing...

Well, I'd better be going.

I'll take the lighter.

Doctor...

Yes?

Good night.

Good night.

One day everything, including

the earth, will disappear.

And we'll all become

fragments of the universe.

Doctor Ishiyama?

Doctor, come quickly.

The tumor has shrunk.

It's become smaller.

Maeda, come see this.

Look! It's shrinking.

You're right. It is smaller.

The chemo is working.

Cancer cell levels are down, too.

She can maybe survive surgery.

We did it, Maeda.

We should really consult Dr Iwaodake.

She's an authority on uterine cancer.

Dr Iwaodake?

No, I'll perform the operation.

You'd better take it easy.

The results of your latest

physical aren't very good.

You need to take

better care of yourself.

Who cares about that?

Who'll save Michiko

if I slacken off now?

At this moment she

means the world to me.

Don't worry.

If she can pull

through, then I can, too.

Yes, I will operate.

Look, don't get too upset, but...

This is the latest

CT scan of your liver.

No running in the corridor.

This lamp is for Dr Sasaki.

Thanks for everything. Michiko Oikawa

Dr Sasaki.

Yes?

Ms Oikawa has left.

She left early?

I guess she couldn't wait.

You were busy at the time.

Get rid of that lamp.

"Thanks for everything?" It's

nowhere near over for her.

You scared me.

How pretty.

Love is like a beautiful

ray of light from a lamp

in the long, long night.

Love is... like a

beautiful ray of light...

Sorry!

Sorry!

I'm so sorry. I'll buy you another one.

Where can I buy one just like it'?

My back!

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

Are you alright?

Cookies.

Hello?

Is that you, honey?

Suzuki?

Michiko? How come?

They let me out for a while.

I wanted to surprise you.

Really? You should have told me.

I'm down in Osaka.

Really? Will you be back tonight?

No, we're behind schedule.

I doubt I can make it.

I see.

Who are you?

Where's Mr Suzuki?

Hello?

She's at stage 3B.

When I first saw this,

I was very surprised.

You tried capping it?

Chemotherapy has managed

to shrink the tumor,

so now it can be operated on.

And naturally you want to operate?

No, I insist you do it, Dr Iwaodake.

Certainly, but her

chances are not very good.

At best I'd give her a 30

to 40% chance of surviving.

Is that all?

I'm afraid so.

Actually Dr Sasaki is not very well...

Shut up, Maeda!

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. Maeda has

worked wonders with me.

That's enough.

Are you sure?

I'm fine.

Then, please excuse me.

Dr Iwaodake!

Yes?

I beg your indulgence.

That's worth an extra 10%.

Idiot! Why did you mention me?

How can you operate in your condition?

Shut up!

Look at you. Your

skin is turning yellow.

I'm worried.

Well don't. I'm good for a while.

And don't you dare mention

my condition to anyone.

...until the end.

What do you mean "until the end?"

Doctor...

Hello.

Sorry to call you out so suddenly.

It's my day off, so it's good timing.

Let's fill this bag

with pieces of glass.

Here's one!

And here, too.

Great!

It scares me.

But I think he's happy.

He died to save his

fellows, so he's content.

Do you think it's fate when

someone falls ill and dies?

Fate, eh?

Perhaps it is fate.

But with effort, you

can change your fate.

Don't let it beat you.

And what if I'm beaten?

If you are, then fate has eaten you.

If I died and if you ate of me,

I'd be nutrition for you.

I'd want you to eat me,

even if you didn't want to.

I would. I would eat you.

Would you really?

I have no family left, so

I'll donate my body to science.

They can recycle any part they want.

Then spread my ashes in the sea.

That's what I'd like, too.

No, you must live on.

I don't want to die yet.

I'm with you.

You'll live a long, fruitful life

and make many more lamps.

I'll believe in you

for the next 50 years.

And die when the 51

st year rolls around.

What's wrong?

Is there a toilet here?

I need to go, too.

Return to nature what's rightfully hers.

What a wonderful feeling!

This could easily become a habit.

I don't think it's a good idea.

I almost love it.

Hey! Dr Sasaki.

It's me, Nirasaki.

Long time no see. How are you?

Fully recovered, thanks to you.

Thank you for all your efforts.

Not at all.

Going on a trip?

Unfortunately, no. My man betrayed me.

I'm going back home.

To your hometown?

Hey! Look what I got.

What's this? School girl prostitution?

No, no. You misunderstand.

Take care of yourself

If you know what I mean.

Alright, see you again.

Which do you like?

It's a hard choice.

Oh, that's right.

Look. I saw this guy at the shop.

What was he doing?

Kissing the owner of the shop.

There's still a chance for you.

What do you mean?

So what's the concept?

You have bugger-all concept!

Call him an actor?

The man's a bloody ham!

Say something!

F*** the clients!

You're a bunch of idiots!

Always changing your goddamn minds.

I need a piss.

Welcome, sir.

Someone's in there.

Hey, hey. What's with you, pal?

I understand you're quite famous.

You'd better be careful.

Which fellow are you

You don't remember? Dr Sasaki!

Sorry... without the lab coat.

I hear she's getting better.

Shut up, you fool!

Fool?

Can't you be more careful?

Never let her know you're betraying her!

That could be fatal!

- It's not your concern.

- it sure is.

Just butt out.

Why are you threatening me?

You have to ask?

That's a tough one.

I get it. You want money, don't you?

You creep! How dare you?

Stick your filthy money!

I hate low life creeps like you.

If she even suspects,

I'll bite your tongue off!

I'll eat you!

Dear Shohei, I hope you are well.

Just warm it up to eat. From Seiko

Love is like a beautiful ray of light

from a lamp in the long, long night.

Hello, Dr Sasaki.

How are you doing?

I'm fine, thank you.

Did you also get one?

- The class reunion?

- Yes, after 25 years.

It's at the school library.

If you go, would you escort me?

Too late, I refused

the invitation days ago.

Listen, I have a confession

to make to you all.

I divorced my wife.

I ask you all to toast my divorce.

Cheers to my divorce!

Congratulations on your divorce!

Hideaki Kato here folks.

I'll be your MC tonight.

Now let me introduce

you the heroine of today.

Our own princess, Ms Michiko Oikawa.

Hello. I'm Michiko Oikawa.

No one knows their fate.

Just recently, for the first time

in my life, I was hospitalized.

I started thinking

that if I suddenly died,

I would have left so many

things unsaid to so many eople.

I'm so pleased that

you,are all as you were.

You haven't changed at all.

And our teacher, Mr Tamura...

I'm so happy you're well.
