A dog, thrown away twice. The first time was because it was not cute enough, and the second time was because it was too expensive - dog food, vaccines, and deworming drugs were the first "non-essential expenses" to be crossed out when faced with the ICU bill.
A woman left her dog on a blue chair in the hospital corridor and walked away holding her son's hand. She didn't look back. It's not cold-blooded, it's that the cup is full—mortgage, surgery fees, children's school fees. One more drop will overflow. She only has herself. She couldn't overflow.
A boy, holding an orange-flavored lollipop in his mouth, asked the doctor: "Why didn't dad come out?" The doctor knelt down and told a lie. That lie was stuck in the drawer of his duty room and had not been washed out for three years.
A young doctor broke compressed biscuits for a stray dog at two o'clock in the morning. The dog fell asleep at his feet. He sat on the chair, not knowing what he was waiting for.
This is not Hachiko, the loyal dog. It's not the warmth that heals. It's about the illusion of "stability" - we thought it wouldn't collapse, but it collapsed in one afternoon. Regarding "forever" bills - when we say this, we don't believe it ourselves.
If you are waiting for a result that you don't know whether it will come; if you have crossed something out because "you can't care so much"; if you are awake at three in the morning, staring at the ceiling, not knowing how to survive tomorrow——
This book is waiting for you in Season 5.
The wind comes from far away. Pass you, non-stop. But you know it's coming.
