The general medicine department is now in charge of visiting patients who want home care. Under instructions from Tokushige (Matsumoto), Takino is assigned to take care of Handa Tatsu (Ishibashi Renji), who has been diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer.

Takino hears from Tatsu, a carpenter, about the houses he has built and how he met his wife. Tatsu even goes so far as to say, "The teacher and I are best friends," so Takino decides to do everything he can now.

Takino revealed to Tokushige about her communication with Tatsu, saying, "It's painful because I've always wanted to talk to patients like this. I know I should never say this, but I'm sad. I want to cure them. That's why I became a doctor," as large tears spilled from Takino's eyes.

On social media, comments such as "Takino-sensei's 'You should never say something like that' really hit me hard," "Takino-sensei was crying because he wanted to heal her, and I felt overwhelmed because I thought, 'That's what you'd expect, he's a doctor...'" and "Fuka Koshiba san's very straightforward acting was wonderful," "Fu-chan's acting was touching," and "Takino-sensei, who is so straightforward and strong-willed that she's almost clumsy, is a perfect fit for the role." were garnering attention.
