Tamako is horrified at hearing Tamayo's name and reveals Tamayo is her older sister, which makes her Jintaro's aunt. She realizes that he knew who she was all along but wonders why he suggested that she marry him. Tokoyo proceeds to tell Tamako everything Jintaro told her and says that while she didn't kill him, Tamayo destroyed Jintaro's heart. Tokoyo wants to heal his wounds and asks Tamako to teach her to do household work so she can create a warm home for him. Tamako agrees.

As they walk, Tamako asks Tokoyo about her marriage prospects. Tokoyo says her stepmother found a suitor who is old enough to be her father but she wants to be with Jintaro. She adds that Jintaro means the world to her, she was born to live and die for him. Tamako says Jintaro is lucky to have her.

They arrive at Tamako's brother's house, where they are greeted by Tamako's 4-year-old nephew Tsukihiko. Tamako dotes on him but he retorts he is not a baby before pleasantly greeting Tokoyo, who is impressed. Tsukihiko goes to tell his mother that they have guests.

Jintaro goes to Tokoyo’s house in the mountains for a visit and finds her standing up in a cheerful mood, as she hasn’t coughed in 2 hours. It’s revealed they have moved into the mountains outside of Arima due to Tokoyo wanting to prevent the spread of her illness and are helped by sympathetic residents. Jintaro gives her updates on the parlor and guesthouse just as Hakaru and Tamako arrive to take care of Tokoyo. Jintaro and Tokoyo are curious why the two are together. Hakaru tries to say they are lovers before Tamako stops him but Jintaro and Tokoyo realize this due to Tamako wearing new earrings.

Tokoyo’s treatment consists of relaxing in the sun (as the radiation from the sun destroys the germs) but Tokoyo wonders why she isn’t getting better. Hakaru distracts her by saying there had been many bogus cures, such as animal blood and human livers, and about a serial killer from the Meiji era who removed human livers. He acknowledges that 100,000 people in Japan, Germany, and America have died from tuberculosis due to lack of medicine but those infected always do their best, which he as a doctor encourages. This renews Tokoyo’s resolve to do her best.

Meanwhile, Tamako gives Jintaro various disinfectant chemicals, including mercuric chloride, which she warns is very poisonous. She also gives him back his camera, which he is deeply appreciative of. He then takes a picture of Tokoyo and Hakaru suggests the two take one together. Jintaro and Tokoyo then take a picture together. Later that night, Tokoyo tells him to take more photos of her just in case she dies. This angers Jintaro who says he takes pictures of her as mementos for them to look at in the future. He gets very close to her and she promises to never speak like that again so he won’t cry and he denies he is crying.

## Plot

A week after leaving the Shima mansion, Tamahiko and Yuzuki arrive at Kobe. They go to his uncle's house, where they are met by Hakaru and Tamako. Hakaru is relieved to see Tamahiko because Tamasuke has been working him to death. Hakaru and Tamako have been working at the hospital, Kotori has been singing to the patients, and the older male patients have been making excuses to see Ryo. Tamasuke thinks Hakaru will be a great doctor which causes Tamako to argue that she will be a doctor first.

Tamasuke learns of Tamahiko leaving the family. He announces he and his wife are planning to adopt Tamako, as his wife can't bear children and he feels he owes it to Touko. Tamahiko mentions Tamao but Tamasuke isn't interested in him. Tamasuke offers the two to live with them until they can get in their feet. Tamahiko starts to decline but Tamasuke scolds him into agreeing to stay.

In his room, Ryo comes in with a gift for Yuzuki. She is amazed at how he cut off his own family, met Yuzuki's family and is now going to get married. When he asks about her, she mentions that a young master from Ryotaro's apprenticeship has been courting her and writing to her, and he asked her to marry him. She says he has a lot of good qualities that remind her of Tamahiko. He asks her if she will accept the proposal but she doesn't know because, as a bad girl, she doesn't know if she deserves to be happy. She starts to say something before he notes alike they are: both made excuses to find happiness but had to find someone who would let that happiness be thrown away. She says she is glad to have him as a friend. She then gives him back his wallet and she says she has been saving via sewing which is why it took so long to return it. She then bids his farewell and decides to go her suitor so she can give him her reply.

Hakaru decides to return to Chiba to do the transfer papers so he can become a 3rd year and become a doctor. He asks Tamako if they can be buddies but they start argue over who is more entitled to be a doctor. When Yuzuki calls him 'Tamahiko-sama' (Master), he tells her to stop, which she does and finally calls him by his name without sama.

After losing his mother and crippling his dominant arm in an accident, Tamahiko fell into deep despair and is cast aside by his own father for his handicap. Condemned to live isolated in the countryside where he would not bring shame to his family's name, he resigned himself to dying alone—until one day, a young girl named Yuzuki Tachibana appeared on his doorstep, proclaiming that Tamahiko's father sent her to be his bride.

As she takes care of Tamahiko, Yuzuki brings a feeling of springtime into Tamahiko's dreary life, allowing him to gradually heal from the deep emotional scars of his youth. Their lives slowly intertwine as both Tamahiko and Yuzuki taste the fruits of their first love.

On his way home, Jintaro narrates how his home is full of loneliness and betrayal because his parents don’t care about him. He finds Tokoyo sleeping in his bed, as she got tired of waiting for him to come home. Jintaro admits to Tokoyo that he wants to die because the only memories he has in his 13 years of life are painful. Tokoyo is saddened and suggests they commit a lovers suicide despite them being 13 and 11 years old respectively. She says she can’t live without him and he agrees they should do the deed the next day.

The next day, Tokoyo forces Jintaro to go to the Sumadera Amusement Park with her because she wanted to play and have fun with him before the deed. They contemplate suicide by drowning but Jintaro notices too many people are around. Tokoyo is sad to see so many people happy, unlike her and Jintaro. She asks him if she can make a confession to him before they die, and she says she wants to kiss him and have a baby with him.

The front door starts to open but she is disappointed to see Tamao, and then Tamahiko and Yuzuki arrive. They begin the birthday party. Tamasuke says Tamako is old enough to get married now but she says no one would want a woman who is aspiring to be a doctor to be a bride. Hakaru suggests she marry him, much to her embarrassment. Tamao announces he wants to be the one to take over the hospital. Tamahiko is amazed that beforehand, he, Tamako and Tamao barely spoke to each other but they are now laughing with joy. He remembers when Tamao apologized for what he did and wanted to meet his biological father. Tamahiko later revealed to Tamasuke that Tamao was his son who had been born after he and Touko reunited after she ran away from Tamayoshi, who kept the truth of Tamao's parentage a secret from Tamasuke. Tamasuke immediately had Tamao move in with him.

While the brothers talk, Tamao reveals to Tamahiko that Tamayo will be the next head of the family and when he went back to the Shima house for paperwork, she told him to never come back. Tamako asks Tamahiko when will he and Yuzuki have their wedding ceremony. Yuzuki nervously says they can't afford a ceremony due to the ¥10,000 debt but being his wife is what makes her happy. Tamahiko wants a ceremony too but agrees they can't afford it. In their apartment, he says being her husband makes him happy and promises her that they will have a ceremony one day. They start kissing and she agrees.
