Tend to him.

Hello?

The Hatano Missus!

How nice of you to come.

How's Shinnojo?

- Well...

- Where is he?

In the back room.

Shinnojo?

Shinnojo!

Oh, dear!

Can't he hear me?

Look at him! He's so thin!

More handsome than ever!

Hello, Kayo.

You've been having a hard time.

I would have come earlier.

I had to take my mother

for treatments at a spa.

What does the doctor say?

If we keep up the medicine

he's sure to wake up.

Who's the doctor?

Dr Gensai.

Well, if he says so,

there's nothing to worry about.

Take good care of him, Kayo.

You mustn't lose hope.

I won't.

When he was only this big

he was deathly sick for three days.

He didn't say a word.

Then on the fourth day he was fine.

And eating rice-balls,

three or four of them!

He's got a good constitution.

He'll get well.

Where are you going?

- Tea...

- No, no, I have to go.

Shinnojo...

I'm going now.

Get well soon.

Do you hear me?

The poor thing!

That's all right, take it!

It'll help pay for medicine.

Goodbye.

I'll come again, Kayo.

Take good care of him.

Thank you.

Tokuhei? Is that you?

You've gotten so old!

I was sure you were dead by now.

So you're alive, are you?

Has she gone yet?

My aunt never shuts up.

I can't stand her.

Even if she did come to see me

because I was sick.

Tokuhei!

The master's woken up!

I'm so glad!

Sir?

Sir?

Tokuhei?

How long was I out?

Today's the third day.

I'm so happy

you've finally woken up!

Wonderful!

Isn't that something, Missus?

After all your nursing!

Are you hungry, Husband?

Yes. I'd like to eat something.

Tokuhei! We have to make some gruel!

Yes. This is no time for tears.

Tokuhei...

Light the oven.

Missus...

If there's nothing else,

I'll be going.

Tokuhei...

Something's bothering me.

The master's always been

rather bashful.

He hardly ever meets my eyes

when he talks to me.

But when I was feeding him the gruel,

he was looking straight at me.

Just staring at me

while he talked.

Why?

Because you're so beautiful.

Don't be silly!

No, I mean it...

Well...

Until tomorrow.

The frogs have started singing!

Here's your medicine.

Be careful, it's hot.

You're like me.

Your tongue can't take heat.

Husband...

Could it be

that you can't see anything?

I didn't want you worried...

That's right.

All I can tell is

if it's light or dark.

Why?!

Why wouldn't you tell me...

a thing like that?

We're man and wife!

You didn't want me worried?

Why would you hold back from me?

I want to be worried

about you!

About anything to do with you!

You do?

You feel that way about me?

I'll call Dr Gensai tomorrow.

He'll have something.

Don't worry.

Soon you'll be able to see again.
