This is after Kotoko leaves the house, after her and Naoki get into a fight, because he ignores her and he doesn't explain why. It's the part where she tells him that their marriage isn't right, it's not supposed to be the way it is (and if you watched the Taiwan drama, in this scene she tells Naoki that she's tired of it and asks him if he ever loved her and finally asks "Why did you marry me?" and then leaves the house. I'm using this scene because I found it to be a lot better than the way the anime played it out.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She laid in ICU, covered in blood. Every one of the family members rushed to the hospital as soon as they got the call from one of the nurses who recognized her as Naoki's wife.

-----flashback----

"Irie-san? This is Tonan University Hospital."

"You're looking for Naoki? Hold on." Ma yelled for Naoki.

"Hello?"

"Irie-san? This is Tonan University Hospital. I'm calling you in regards to your wife, Kotoko." As soon as he heard that his heart stopped. "She's been in a terrible accident and is currently in critical condition. They are prepping her for surgery right now."

-----end flashback-----

Every one sat impatiently in front of the emergency operating room. All Naoki could think about was what his wife last said to him.

----flashback----

Behind the closed door, crying.
"Why am I the only one crying? Why am I the only one sad? You don't even look at me anymore. Do you even love me?"

"Calm down Kotoko."

"No…this isn't how it's supposed to be." Tears endlessly ran down her face, "Why did you marry me?"

----end flashback----

That was the last time he ever saw his wife, now she lies there lifeless, on an operating table. While he waits, he is replaying that scene in his head. "Why didn't I go after her? Why?" A question that he, himself could not give a full answer.

Two hours passed and the doors finally opened. Nishigaki-sensei looked at him, and Naoki's heart sank. He knew that look, the look of bad news.

"The operation was a success, we stopped the bleeding, but there is a problem. There was too much blood loss and a clot lodged in the right side her brain. Be prepared, she may never wake up, and even if she does there no is guarantee she will be the same." Naoki, knew what he meant, he meant that she may suffer from brain damage, may have amnesia, it could be any number of things.

Two months have past, and she still hasn't woken up. The whole family comes to visit her everyday and Naoki has been by her side day and night. When he's not working he's right there beside her.

"Irie-sensei, are you going to see your wife?" He nods and continues walking.

On the other end of the hall, a girl walks around aimlessly, in pain but is wondering around like a lost child; bandages around her head, neck, arms and legs. "Where am I? What am I doing here?" As she continues to walk down the hall, she recognizes nothing. Nothing seems familiar at all. She looks around and see's the TV and walks up to it. She places her hands on the screen and walks over to the seats. As she sits down, she stares at the TV blankly.

"Irie-sensei, are you on your way to see Kotoko?" he nods.

Motoki, "Please tell her hello and that we're all still thinking of her."

Naoki nods and continues to walk down the corridor. As he passes the waiting area, he see's Kotoko sitting, watching TV. He stops in shock because he thinks he is seeing things. Then Kotoko turns around and looks at him.

"Excuse me, can you please tell me where I am?" Naoki not realizing what she asked grabs her and hugs her.

"Excuse me, sensei…" she stood there stiff letting him hold her.

"Kotoko!" he yelled. "Let's go back to the room. You shouldn't be walking around like this."

Not knowing what is happening around her, she followed him back to the room. Naoki held her and cried. He couldn't believe she was finally awake after two months. He's wanted to apologize to her, he waited for this day to come where he can fully explain himself and apologize and let her know she did nothing wrong.

"Excuse me sensei, where am I?" she asked.

He looked at her with a worried expression, "Kotoko, don't you know who I am? You're in Tonan University Hospital. Are you OK? Does anything hurt?"

She looked at him and nodded, "No. Um…sensei…."
Just then Naoki realized that caught up in the moment of seeing her alive, walking and talking, breathing, that she had been asking the same question over and over. Naoki gulped, "Kotoko, do you know who I am?"
