I'll fix you some more medicine

right now.

A man trained in the martial arts

always has a very strong pulse.

If you've come this far,

there's no more need to fear.

Keep on with the same medicine.

Doctor...

About my eyes...

When will I be able to see again?

A high fever like that

always has after-effects.

Do you know 'night blindness'?

Yes.

You can't see when it gets dark.

Your case is similar.

There's no need to worry.

Nourishment and rest

are the main things.

Don't be in a rush.

I'll make some more medicine.

Come for it later.

All right.

Well, Squire Mimura...

Thank you. That's a relief.

Take care.

About your husband's eyes...

Toxin from that shellfish

often causes blindness.

My medical books

describe his case exactly.

Missus...

Yes?

Further treatment is useless.

All that's left is to resign yourself.

I'm terribly sorry.

Now only the Gods can help you.

I guess I'm the one

who'll have to tell him.

You're awake...

I was dreaming about you.

Me?

You were laughing,

with a bird on your hand.

I tried to tell you it would fly away,

but my voice wouldn't come.

That woke me up.

Next thing

I heard your voice in the dark.

It's when I wake up

the world goes dark.

That's how it is now.

Your medicine.

It'll help your eyes.

The best medicine tastes worst, eh?

Yes.

Kayo...

It's firefly season.

Yes.

Are they out?

No, not yet.

No?

Did you hear about Mimura?

That he's gone blind?

What a disaster!

How's he going to earn a living?

It's not like he can become a masseur

or a ballad singer...

No.

He's not a lucky man.

What's that you've...

Silence!

'Hundred Prayers' Stone

Excuse me...

Are you not the wife

of Squire Mimura Shinnojo?

Yes, sir.

I am Shimada Toya.

Do you remember me?

I often used to see you

when I was attending the fencing dojo.

Yes!

You'd have been on your way home

from the temple school.

You were renowned as

the prettiest girl in the castle town.

I understand your husband

has met with great misfortune.

According to Dr Gensai

he will never see the light again.

Is this true?

Yes.

He was doing his duty,

but still, it is most unfortunate.

You have my deepest sympathies.

I'm sure you have concerns

about how you will get by.

I will help.

You are welcome to call on me

at my home.

Please feel free.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Missus, I've done a terrible thing!

What?

While you were out,

the master called me.

In a very severe tone...

he said, 'I'm sure Dr Gensai

said something about my eyes.

'Tell me what it is,

and you'd better not be lying.'

Those blind eyes glared at me.

He looked just like his late father.

I was so scared

I went and told him everything.
