- Sayuri Sakai: Will he... be all right?
- Kaori Sawai: He-He'll be fine. The chief and my Senpai are with him. He'll have a doctor too.
- Sayuri Sakai: Medicine doesn't solve everything though! People die no matter what!
- Kaori Sawai: Don't say that!
- Sayuri Sakai: I'm going to die too! I'm going to bleed out and die in a pool of my own blood, just like that!
- Kaori Sawai: No, you can't think like that! You can't think like that! Think about how you're alive right now! You're alive right now, aren't you, Miss Sakai?
- Sayuri Sakai: [after a quite sob] ... I can't breathe. Only think about being alive? So even you say good things, sometimes.
- [beat]
- Sayuri Sakai: I should be ashamed someone like you is trying to cheer me up.
- Kaori Sawai: I'm just glad I could cheer you up a little.
- Sayuri Sakai: It's your job to calm patients, isn't it? Don't be glad for something that just should come natural to you.
- Kaori Sawai: So, listen, it's really important to eat..
- Sayuri Sakai: I don't need you to tell me that! I'm not eating because I don't want to eat! That's all there is to it!
- Kaori Sawai: Miss Sakai, please calm down...!
- Sayuri Sakai: Nothing I eat tastes any good! How do you expect me to eat anything?
- Kaori Sawai: But you won't get better if you don't eat!
- Sayuri Sakai: I don't need to get better! There's no one waiting for me! I don't have anywhere to go home to! My mother doesn't even want me to leave the hospital! So what's the point in me getting better?
- Sayuri Sakai: And besides, being mean to you is my only pleasure in life. Don't take away the only joy I have in this boring hospital.
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: Howdy, newbie! Word on the grapevine's that yer fighting with Miss Me.
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: How do you know about that?
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: I was there when Miss Me filed a complaint with the Chief. Jaw dang near fell off. Ya got a long way to go if yer scrapping with patients.
- [Kaori let's out a frustrated sigh]
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: So you lost it and broke that girl's clock?
- Kaori Sawai: I didn't break it! She threw it at me!
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: [teasing] Woah, scary.
- [Kaori let's out another frustrated sigh as she hits the table]
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: . Quit it, yer making me cringe.
- Kaori Sawai: But--!
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: Sawai, yer getting too invested in patients. A nurse has to maintain professional distance. You had that drilled into you in nursing school, and the ward haven't ya? Ya can nurse patients by kindling a relationship with them. But nursing's not about that at its core. There are more important things than being relatable. Think about that.
- Kaori Sawai: I'm sorry...
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: So long as ya get it, we're all good. Yer still a newbie. Ya can come into yer own in time.
- Kaori Sawai: ...I will.
- Kaori Sawai: What happened to your visitor?
- Sayuri Sakai: She's gone. She just stopped by to hand over some documentation.
- Kaori Sawai: Documentation? Can I take a peak?
- Sayuri Sakai: Go ahead. It states my inheritance has been set in stone. It's her way of saying we're nobodies going forward. The gist is she'll cough up my share so now I can waste it how I please when I'm discharged.
- Kaori Sawai: Huh?
- [thinking]
- Kaori Sawai: Hold on... That woman from before WAS Miss Sakai's mother, right?
- Sayuri Sakai: She said she doesn't want to see my punchable, disappointing face anymore. She'll cover the treatment fees in full. In exchange, she drafted an agreement that I'll never deal with a Sakai again. The feeling's mutual so I got on board and signed her stupid agreement. She showed up to hand over the finalized agreement now that the legal rigamarole is over.
- Kaori Sawai: But... she's your mother...
- Sayuri Sakai: Parent-child-relationships come in all shapes and sizes. This is simply one of them. Not that I expect you to understand that.
- Kaori Sawai: But you're related by blood, right? How can you turn your backs on each other for good?
- Sayuri Sakai: That's just how some families are! Keep your nose out of my business, you obnoxious creep!
- Kaori Sawai: It might not be my business!... It Isn't! But I just can't just--!
- Sayuri Sakai: Just, what?
- Kaori Sawai: I just wanted to empathize with you!
- Sayuri Sakai: Huh?... Whatever.
- Kaori Sawai: I once had a severe injury that left me for dead. So... So I want you to overcome your circumstances, as well as your medical ones...!
- Sayuri Sakai: Shut up! just shut it, you hypocrite! Don't push your values onto me! I HATE that you won't give it a rest!
- Kaori Sawai: Miss Sakai...
- Sayuri Sakai: You don't know the first thing about my family! So stop talking like you do!
- Kaori Sawai: [Kaori yelps in pain as the sound of something striking her and shattering is heard]
- Sayuri Sakai: Get out! I don't want to see... YOUR face!
- Yasuko Yamanouchi: Word's spreading like wildfire among the geezers and the brats, and yours truly just happened to hear a bit.
- Sayuri Sakai: Lucky you. The person who's mean to you every day is about to disappear. Don't you feel like celebrating?
- Kaori Sawai: Why, why? Why would you say such a thing? Why can't you care about yourself more? Did I ever say I hated you? No, not even once! Because I don't hate you! I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't hate you!
- Sayuri Sakai: H-hey... Let, let go...
- Kaori Sawai: I don't want you to disappear, Miss Sakai! I'd be fine if you got better and got discharged but I don't want you to go away because you got worse!
- Sayuri Sakai: Wh-what are you...? This is a hospital! People die here all the time!
- Kaori Sawai: I know that but I don't like it! Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can do for you?
- Kaori Sawai: It's not a matter if your dreams come true or not, it's more important to just hold onto a dream you want to achieve -- that's what motivates you. All you can do is try.
- Sayuri Sakai: Sorry, sorry -- there you go, doing nothing but apologize. Even a monkey can do that, and at least monkeys are cute.
