"You got this... for me?" The little reindeer nods, smiling up at the man despite his injuries.
"It's an amiudake. Now you won't be sick anymore, it'll cure you!" Chopper happily holds up the mushroom to the doctor, proud of himself. The man slowly approaches Chopper, dropping to his knees in front of him and pulling him into a hug, crying. The little reindeer begins to cry too, with a small smile.
-----
"I'm going out now, Chopper. Stay here and rest, alright?" Chopper, bandaged up from his injuries and resting in bed, reluctantly nods.
"Don't worry about me, Chopper! The mushroom cured me, so I'm just going to go see some patients. You did a good job." With that Hiruluk leaves, leaving Chopper alone, happy to have helped.
-----
"You idiot!" The woman sends Chopper flying, where he smashes into a bookshelf. He looks up at her, scared. "That mushroom is poisonous...! He's going to die!"
Chopper stares in shock before running out the door, crying.
-----
"When does a man die? When he's shot with a bullet? No. When he has an incurable disease? No. When he eats a soup from a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies... when he is forgotten!" Doctor Hiruluk now stands in front of a castle, giving his speech with all of the king's guards watching.
Chopper finally arrives, reaching the top of the mountain to see the doctor... And just as he reaches the top, there's a huge explosion. He stops in his tracks, staring in shock at the explosion.
Hiruluk's hat falls down from the sky, landing right in front of the little reindeer.

[Chopper wakes up, grabbing his hat and clutching it tightly to himself before lying back down, trying to get back to sleep.]
