8 Their Fate Was Sealed By The Stalk Of Daffodil

Heisuke often came to visit Mrs. Saeki at the nursing home. During his days off, he would help around the place despite not being a staff there. He simply wanted to spend more time at the assisted living facility.

Hisaki had a good relationship with Mrs. Saeki. She bonded with the ill elderly woman from the beginning when she started working there. The latter always brought up stories about her one and only child.

'How nice. He still has a good mother. They care for each other well.'

Without Heisuke knowing it, Hisaki was quite envious of his close bond with his mother.

The mother and son ran away from the capital. They faced difficulty while settling down in this coastal town. When life got better, the young man tumbled into a crooked businessman's scheme.

Because of that, Heisuke had to spend a decade in prison. Not long after, Mrs. Saeki fell terribly sick, prompting her son's best friend Shuuya to admit her into the nursing home.
