The 46th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on June 1st, and viewers' attention was drawn to Yuki (Tomomi Nakai), who is deeply shocked when she faces the death of her patient, Onoda (Masako Miyaji).
Onoda's condition worsens, and she falls into critical condition. She briefly regains consciousness, but then asks, "What about putting out the fire?" and "Nobu, could you go check on the kitchen?" mentioning the name of her married daughter who lives in Hiroshima. Tome (Rin Harashima) quickly goes along with it, saying, "Don't worry about putting out the fire... It's not necessary, Mother," and Yuki responds, "I'm a friend of Nobu's..." The attending physician, Sakata (Yuta Kanai), explains, "She must have lost consciousness. It's common with patients in that state," and "It's only a matter of time."
Yuki stayed by Onoda's side without sleeping. At dawn, Onoda briefly regained consciousness, saying, "Yuki-san...?" When Yuki told him that his daughter would be here soon, Onoda smiled in relief and quietly passed away. Yuki was distraught and cried, "No..."
Deeply shocked by the death of a patient she had faced for the first time, Yuki skipped her practical training. Rin (Mikami) and the others became worried about Yuki, who was wrapped in her blanket and crying continuously, refusing to eat. Burns (Emma Howard) visited Yuki's room and said, "Let's talk." When Yuki replied, "I'm sorry. I apologize," Burns pulled the blanket off her and announced, "We're going to have a lesson here now."
On social media, comments include: "It was just so sad," "I'm worried about Yuki getting too involved with her patients," "Her desperate support is admirable, but it's going beyond 'work'," "Can she endure the cruel reality of death? It's not something you can do on idealism alone," "The reason Yuki gets hurt more than others is probably because she has such a kind heart," "I hope she can turn that kindness, which is so strong it makes her sick, into strength," "I wonder if Yuki will quit being a nurse?", "I hope she can overcome this," and "This week looks tough for her."
