"(...) He’s in the tatami room in the back. Go to him. (...)" episode 23 - Truth
Following the words like a martial order, Toshizo stepped up the stairs searching Souji.
He reached the top of the stairs, facing the immense, door filled corridor; the men milling about it blurring his goal - the tatami room in the back.
He walked composedly in search of Souji; his gaze, intent on his goal, blurred the men he passed and the words they addressed him.
The endless succession of doors went on forever - the tatami room in the back - further and further away.
His pace increased when the people were left behind and despair seeped into his heart at the sickening sounds of coughing and heaving from the tatami room in the back.
At the entrance of the tatami room in the back, he stopped, dazed with the view before him: Souji shaken by a coughing fit, his frail body hurt and bruised.
In relief and despair, he whispered: “Souji!”
