Good Life: Thank You, Papa, Goodbye (グッドライフ〜ありがとう、パパ。さよなら〜)

-Relapse... -He'll need

a bone marrow transplant.

It takes time to find a donor.

How much longer do we have to wait!!

As his mother, there are many things you can do for Waku.

Dad decided to change jobs. I can be with you all the time.

I guess all parents feel the same way about their kids, don’t they?

If there’s anything I can do, you’ll have my full cooperation.

Too noisy? Looks like I woke you up.

What? Is there something on my face?

Any word on a donor for Waku?

We have a call in to the bank but

-no word yet. -I see.

Please take care of Waku.

Wak-kun.

Dad's going out to meet someone about work, okay?

See you later.

-Wak-kun, good morning. -Good morning.

Wow, it's a zoo.

I see a penguin, rabbit.. and even a gorilla.

This is wonderful, Wak-kun. Did you make all this by yourself?

-I made them with Daddy. -I see. You guys are good.

Oh, that's right. I brought

some new picture books for Wak-kun today.

"The Chatty Fried Egg" and "Cabbage-kun and Butayama-san."

"Fried Egg."

Okay, "Fried Egg."

"The Chatty Fried Egg."

"This is the story of a king of a country."

"Every morning, after breakfast, it was the custom for

the King to go to the Greeting Room."

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Please have a seat.

About the manuscript you turned in the other day...

Frankly, it's double effort on our part as is.

I'm sorry, but I didn't think the information you gave me

was supported by any facts, so I re-interviewed on the phone and...

You just need to write what we ask you to.

We're not a mighty newspaper, but an entertainment magazine.

I had hoped that you'd be a great addition

for us since Okuda-san recommended you.

I understand. I'll re-write it.

ASAP, please.

-Yes, hello. -This is Kim Jang Su from the Korea Bone Marrow Bank.

I’m calling in regards to the request for a donor from the bone marrow bank in Japan.

Next agenda item.

The Bone Marrow Bank called a little while ago.

A donor candidate for a bone marrow transplant

requested by a bank in Japan has been found in Seoul.

The patient is a 6-year-old Japanese boy.

The donor is a 22-year-old woman living in Seoul.

We've been asked to run some tests immediately, but considering the surgery schedule...

Let's accept.

I will take the lead.

You're personally going to be in charge, Doctor?

Yes.

I’d be happy if I could help out that boy in Japan.

Then we'll leave this matter in your hands.

Next agenda item.

Merry Christmas!

Maruyama Sensei. Maruyama Sensei.

-You have a phone call. -Okay.

I'll be right back.

Merry Christmas, Wak-kun.

Here.

Will Santa bring me a present?

Will he be able to find the hospital?

I'm sure he will. After all, he is Santa.

-Did you find it? -Well..

-Seems they're sold out. -Is that right...

Other places... Let's see, where did they have it...

I thought I'd seen some at a store in Omotesandou.

-Sawamoto-san? -Yes.

Let me talk to him.

Sawamoto-san, can you come to the hospital right away?

What?

-Daddy's sound. -What?

I can tell.

Daddy's footsteps go

Pata-pata-pata-pat-tan.

I was hoping it would be Santa.

Santa Claus hasn't come yet?

Maybe he got caught in traffic?

He probably forgot about Wak-kun.

Don't pout. Santa brought

a huge present for you.

-What? -Waku.

We found a donor.

Donor?

Can he get the transplant?

Yes. I hear the donor's a 22-year-old woman.

She the perfect donor with a matching HLA, DNA, and blood type.

Thank you so much!

It's the best Christmas present, isn't it?

Yes.

"Wak-kun, Merry Christmas From Mommy"

This is Sawamoto.

Just like you said, they had it at Tam Tam Store.

That's great! I'm sure Wak-kun would be delighted.

-I should be back in about 30 minutes. -Alright.

Tell Waku...

Sawamoto-san?

Sawamoto-san?

Sawamoto-san! What happened?

Hello? Hello?

Sawamoto-san.

Are you alright?

I heard you were brought in by an ambulance.

Sorry for making you come all the way. It was just a dizzy spell.

-The doctor said it was fatigue too. -Is that right.

But I'm glad you're alright.

I'm sorry to inconvenience you, but

can you give this to Waku for me?

Seems I'm going to have to stay one day for tests.

He's going to be much happier if you give it to him.

I'll explain the situation to Waku-kun.

Oh...Alright.

You must have been exhausted.

Wak-kun will worry if his dad goes down.

Please take it easy and get your rest today.

Sensei.

I have some news for you.

-News? -Yes.

-Yukimura Sensei. -Yes.

Can you wait in the office then?

-Yes. -Yes, what is it?

"1st Grade, Class 1, Yukimura Teppei"

"The Chatty Fried Egg"

I'm sorry for looking without permission.

It belonged to my son who loved to draw.

Oh...you had a child.

How old is he now?

He passed away.

It was an accident. It's been 30 years already.

-So, what's the news? -Oh...Yes. Um...

A donor for Waku has been found.

-That's great. -Yes.

Congratulations.

Really... That's really great.

Yes.

I've been thinking for a while...

That I wouldn't want you live a life you'd regret.

Yuusuke-kun's condition is much better than last night.

That's good.

I'm back now.

-How was Sawamoto-san? -He's alright. It was fatigue.

He'll be staying overnight at the Minato Chuo Hospital today.

I'm glad to hear he's alright.

Thanks for going.

-It's done. -Good job.

This car's really fast.

-Really? -Yeah.

-Hello. -Can't I leave yet?

I'd like to go see how my kid's doing.

Sawamoto-san, there's something I have to tell you...

Then I'll check carefully during the meal.

-Please. -Yes.

Sawamoto-san.

Are you better now?

Daddy.

You're late.

Sorry. I'm late, huh?

Here.

-From Daddy Santa? -Yeah.

-Can I open? -Go ahead.

What can it be?

Wow~ Awesome!

Wow!

-You want to try it on? -Cool~.

-How is it? Not too tight? -It's just right.

Alright. You can go anywhere wearing these.

Waku-kun will start the preliminary treatment phase of bone marrow transplant.

In order to receive the bone marrow from a donor,

all the unhealthy cells must be eliminated.

We will administer radiation and high doses of anti-cancer drugs

to decrease the white blood cell count to almost zero.
