00:09:35 I can only test for the blood reaction here.
00:14:34 The doctor here is the same.
00:17:46 Hi.
00:22:11 What if I say I'll wait for you until I can marry you?
00:26:53 Okay. But just a little bit.
00:30:06 I asked Ms. Imai to stay, but...
00:33:38 They were talking about something serious.
00:37:18 why didn't you tell me earlier?
00:41:47 Yesterday... your father came to my house.
00:47:10 Are you studying?
00:49:45 I can't go through everything the doctor said.
00:53:18 That's what you think.
00:56:51 What did he said?
00:59:54 "Don't spread your disease."
01:04:34 Hi! Long time no see.
