"the woman is connected with the incident as she was driving the truck." "there's someone else on the roof!" "Stay away!" "No!" "Tell me why you took that baby." "I didn't!" "This baby is mine!" "You're lying!" "Its real parents are worried sick about it!" "That's not true!" "You of all people should know what it's like to lose a child!" "She's dead." "My baby died before she was even born!" "All the other babies looked so healthy there in the ward." "I wanted to die." "But then this baby smiled at me." "I decided she was mine." "everything would be fine." "and we'd be a real family." "That's bullshit!" "Build a family by ruining a baby's life?" "do it alone!" "A life is a life." "It's only born once." "or Kiyoko." "okay?" "I want to be reborn." "Sachiko!" "don't die!"

"It's "No Smoking" here." "Lighten up!" "I'm a hero!" "You mean "we"!" "I guess we won't have to listen to Kiyoko's damn crying anymore." "She's not "Kiyoko" anymore." "I'm not pleased." "What can we do?" "Not that." "This is a men's ward!" "Perhaps we're intruding." "it's just..." "I'm told they're homeless." "Who cares?" "We'd like them to be her godfathers." "Come in." "Excuse us." "The baby's parents would like to thank you..." "Dad..."
