Agata: What?! // Tsubaki didn't show up today?!
Mimori: Apparently he has a cold.
Agata: On a day like today, of all days...?! / Since when has Tsubaki ever caught a cold before?!
[Sign on Michiru: Information]
Michiru: Even though he's the son of a doctor...
Daisy: I don't think that has much to do with anything.
Mimori: Michiru-san... your cake...
Michiru: Yeah... after I'd baked it specially and everything...
Agata: Hm? Was there something special about today?
Michiru: Oh, Agata...
Mimori: It's Tsubaki-chan's birthday today, remember?

[Sign: baki Clinic]
Flashback!Wife: There, there, now...

4
Flashback!Doctor: I'm so sorry... // Kirishima-san...! // I wasn't... good enough... // I... stole your life away... // Ngh... // But I will take responsibility for this. / As you wished... I will take in your...
DoubleFlashback!Akane: I will raise the baby as my own child.
Flashback!Doctor: ...............
Flashback!Wife: There, there... / You're very cute, aren't you... // They really are... // Beautiful babies... // Both of them...

5
Flashback!Wife: God can be... / ...very cruel. // For two beautiful babies like these to be born healthy and happy... / ...but their mother to pass away... // Even thought she gave birth to two beautiful babies like these... // While the two of us... haven't even managed one...
Flashback!Doctor: ...............
DoubleFlashback!Father: It is all very well that you have inherited the hospital from me, but to think that you and your wife would be unable to bear a child of your own... // Who is to take over the hospital after you? Will you adopt a child? I don't mean to place too much pressure on you, but this is an important issue... you should think about it carefully. // You have been looking awfully pale recently... // Is it overwork? Or anxiety...? // And you call yourself a doctor...

6
DoubleFlashback!Haru: Doctor... // Please, take care... of the children... // Financially, too... she couldn't possibly... raise two children...
DoubleFlashback!Akane: I will raise the baby as my own child.
DoubleFlashback!Haru: I daresay Akane... will want to raise them herself... // But... I don't want to get in the way of her dream...
DoubleFlashback!Doctor: I will take responsibility for this.

7
DoubleFlashback!Father: Will you adopt a child?
Flashback!Wife: They're... so beautiful...
DoubleFlashback!Doctor: I... stole your life away...
DoubleFlashback!Haru: Doctor... // Please, take care of the children...
DoubleFlashback!Akane: I will raise the baby as my own child.
Flashback!Doctor: (Responsibility...)
DoubleFlashback!Akane: She couldn't possibly... / raise two children...

8
Flashback!Doctor: One of them... // Bring one of the babies... // ...this way. // Fujisaki-san.

9
Flashback!Doctor: The child has been born. // It's a healthy baby boy.

10
Doctor: I can only think that there was something wrong with me. / At the time, I was caught up in the idea that raising the child myself to become a fine man was the only way I could take responsibility. // I was... filled with so many emotions, all conflicting with one another... / ...and eventually it led me to a conclusion. // You may not believe this, but at the time, I truly believed that I was doing the right thing. // Without even telling Akane-san the truth, that there were two babies born that day... // We made the decision to raise Sasuke as our own child. // Of course, I regretted it soon afterwards. // I cursed myself for doing such a ridiculous thing... // I walked out of the door the next day, fully intending to find Akane-san, to apologise, and discuss what action we should take... // But... // That baby, the first child the two of us had ever had in our care... // ...was just so wonderful...

11
Doctor: I wanted to be with him just a little longer. // Just one more day... // Just one more... // Before I knew it... // The days and months had flown by... // And today, he turns seventeen. // He has grown up to be more fine than I could ever have hoped... far more than I deserve.
Bossun: (Tsubaki is... / ...my brother...)

12
Doctor: I am so sorry!! // I...! I have made an unforgivable mistake!!
Bossun: Hey...!
Doctor: I...! // I separated the two of you... committed a terrible sin! // I have regretted that... ever since...!

13
Doctor: No matter how much I apologise, I cannot be forgiven for what I have done...
Bossun: Hey!! // Stop that already, would you?!! // That's enough! Just give it a rest already! // Why do I have to have a guy with a beard prostrate himself in front of me twice in one day?!! This is just crazy! // .........Why... // ...did you suddenly decide to tell us?
Doctor: A few days ago... / I ran into your mother... into Akane-san in town. // We had not contacted each other at all since the day of the accident... // ...but she had changed so little, I recognised her right away. // And then she told me about you. // She had told me that she did not mean to tell you the truth about your birth until you had come of age... // But now I found that she had told you everything two years ago, on your fifteenth birthday.

14
Doctor: Hearing that made my heart begin to ache once more. / You had already been told the truth... // I should tell Sasuke the truth, as well... // About his parents' accident. // About the fact that he was not my real son. // And... // About the brother he never knew.
Bossun: ...............
Doctor: Sasuke reacted in exactly the same way... // He was surprised, of course, but he turned oddly quiet. // I would have been so much happier if he had become angry... if he had shouted, cursed me even... // But he simply sat there, stunned... / And after asking me a number of questions, went back to his room with barely a word. // Will you, too, not curse me...?

15
Bossun: Don't give me your self-indulgent crap. / I don't even know how to feel myself after hearing all of this... I'm not going to start dishing out blame.
Doctor: I really am... so, so sorry. // I intend to atone for this if it takes my whole life to do so.
Bossun: ............... // That's enough. // To be honest... I don't want your apologies. // I know that what you did isn't the kind of thing that can be forgiven all that easily. I mean... hell, it's crazy. // But... I dunno, for some reason, I don't... seem to feel all that angry. / And I'm in no state right now to think about forgiving you or whatever. // My head's just spinning so much right now... Could you leave me alone? // Could you just go away?

16
Doctor: All right. / I plan to go and visit Akane-san next. // I daresay she will be furious with me, but I am ready to accept that as the fate I brought upon myself. // Once you have had time to come to terms with this...... // I would like to speak with you again. // My wife, too, would very much like to meet you. // Well then, goodbye.
Bossun: ............... // Oh... / Just one thing. // About Tsubaki...... / I mean, not that I care about him or anything, but... // I think he must be going through some pretty heavy shock right now, too. // I can't say how things are going to work out, but... // I dunno... look......

17
Bossun: He told me once that he really looked up to you. // Looking at him, I can tell just how much you and your wife must care for him, just how much love you must have put into raising him. // Just like my mother did for me.
Doctor: ............... // Thank you. // You have no idea how much that means to me.

18
Yagi: It is time for today's Kaimei Festival to come to an end. // All classes, please stop your activities and begin clearing away.
Himeko: Where's Bossun run off to...? / I was hopin' to give him a bit of a celebration, since it's his birthday today an' all...
Yagi: Please leave all waste in a pile in the centre of the grounds.
Bossun: This is crazy...

19
Someone: Huh? Tsubaki...
