Immortal Hero (世界から希望が消えたなら。)

Mr. Mioya, sir .

Don't work so hard, you don't look so well today.

Thank you.

But I need to finish this before I leave.

Isoko? Can you come back later?

Good morning.

I've made some coffee...

Oh, Saori, it's you.

I'm sorry. You look busy. Am I interrupting?

No. It's OK.

Breakfast already?

You can put it down there.

Yes, sir. Sure thing.

I see you've been writing since early this morning.

Mrs. Mioya said you should take a break, now,

and stop writing. I have to agree with her.

No, not right now.

I'm fine.

I want to finish this draft before we leave.

So, you can wait in the living room.

Yes, sir. I'll be downstairs.

By the way, Golden Publishing's schedule

has been moved up three days.

Can you look at them and confirm your approval of these schedules?

I'll leave them on your desk, please check them later.

OK.

I'll let you know when it's 9 a.m.

and it's time to get ready.

Thank you very much.

Good morning, Saori. You're early.

Good morning, Tamami.

You're leaving earlier, right now?

I have dance practice at school.

Have a nice day. - Thanks very much.

I'm leaving. - Have fun.

Have a good day.

Good morning, Mrs. Mioya.

Good morning, Saori.

Could you take Makoto's manuscript to the office today?

He's almost done.

I wonder how long he'll write by hand. It takes too long, you know?

And will you make sure Eiichi's up? He won't get up.

Yes, Ma'am. I will.

Good morning, Tsuruo.

Eiichi?

Eiichi!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning.

Good morning, sir. - Good morning.

We'll edit the manuscript and come back with the proof.

Thank you very much. - Thank you.

Thank you for your time. See you then.

I quit my company job before I turned 30

and became an author to share my ideology.

Then 10 years ago, I founded a publishing company.

Everyone thinks of me as an exceptional best-selling author.

Sweetheart, I told you yesterday, but...

But I have a secret that most people don't know.

I feel the existence beyond this world and know the truth.

Makoto, are you even listening?

Huh? Sorry?

I said we're meeting Tsuruo's teacher at his prep school tomorrow.

You're coming with, right?

I can't tomorrow.

I have an interview with a newspaper.

We already know he wants to go to Kaio.

All he has to do is study.

Well, actually...

It seems that he doesn't want to go to Kaio anymore.

Why not?

I wish I knew the answer to that.

Tsuruo said he only wants to talk to you.

I asked him why, but he won't tell me.

And by the way, you don't even talk with him anyway.

Can you please listen to your kids more, because I really cannot handle them.

There's nothing I can do!

My job is to work hard to provide for my family.

Why can't you be the one to take care of Tsuruo?

What did you say? I work, too, and I am also looking after the kids, you know?

Can you please pull over?

I need to get out to get some fresh air.

Yes, sir. Right now.

You think he's alright?

Those koi used to be small. But now their all grown up.

Ready?

Hold on. Your tie...

One day, my daughter Tamami will...

Mr. Mioya! Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Sweetheart!

Sweetheart! - Makoto!

Are you alright?

Please, answer me!

Yeah... I'm fine.

Mr. Mioya.

I'm so glad you're back with us.

Mr. Mioya, can you hear me?

His blood oxygen level is very low!

Mr. Mioya, can you hear me? You're in the hospital.

Watch out!

Is Dr. Momoyama on the way?

He's coming. - Great.

He canceled his flight.

I need to know, do you have a family history of heart disease?

No...

Mr. Mioya. Look at all these white areas.

The fluid went into your heart and lungs tissue.

Your heart is enlarged and the lower part isn't contracting.

It's pulmonary edema and heart failure.

Hard to breathe lying on your left side, isn't it?

I don't know. I haven't really felt that way before.

You must've been in a lot of pain and enduring symptoms for quite some time.

You think so?

Well now that you are mentioning it, I've only been feeling

some indigestion and neck pain.

May we talk outside?

Isoko...

Your husband must have had a heart attack a few days ago.

Most people would've died from that.

What?

Your husband should be dead by now, but he's still alive.

Oh, no.

Are you saying he's not gonna make it?

To be honest, his condition is very critical and can worsen.

So...

Is there anything I can do?

It could be that he won't see daylight.

Huh?

Call your family immediately.

This way!

Ma'am.

This, too. For you.

Thank you.

Mom, how's papa?

Shhh!

Your father...

was rushed to the hospital 'cause he had a heart attack.

According to the doctor,

it's a miracle he's still with us.

And he could die at any time.

So this could be

your last chance to see him and say goodbye.

You should all remember your fathers smile.

He doesn't know how serious his condition really is yet

so please don't tell him anything.

Dad!

Hey kids. - Papa!

Papa's just fine. This is no big deal.

I don't understand why they put me here in the ICU.

I'm bored, so I was just reading.

Papa...

are you OK? So you'll be home soon?

Son, I see that your mother has already made a scene.

Of course I'm gonna be alright!

Your papa has been through lots of hardships and challenges up til now in my life.

Above all, I say I'm fine now

so trust me, here, okay?

You can all go home and relax.

Papa!

Don't die, OK?

Swear that it's so!

I swear I won't die.

Yeah, I swear. - (approaching footsteps)

Excuse me,

but you can't stay here too long.

I'm so sorry. - Eh, you seem just fine to me.

I've got basketball camp tomorrow anyway.

I've gotta pack, can I go now?

Eiichi...

Take it outside.

No more concerns, I'll see you later, son.

Tamami and Tsuruo.

See you later, Dad.

Sure. Later.

Tamami.

Don't worry, I'm not dying.

And help your mother, OK?

OK.

Makoto.

Here.
