Dear Brother
Season 1 Episode 36 - Glowing Fireflies, Blazing Passion
Two weeks after Rei dies, it is the summer holidays. Kaoru goes for an examination and is told by her doctor that she needs more tests. She reacts badly, thinking she is going to die. Nanako and Tomoko visit the roadside shrine to Rei, and see Kaoru sitting a short distance away, crying bitterly. Kaoru skips class for over two days, and Nanako realizes that Kaoru is suffering despite all her inner strength. Nanako runs into Takashi and he explains to her that Kaoru and Takehiko were in love, but split up. Kaoru goes to the place she ended her relationship with Takehiko, but he sees her there, so she runs away. At school, Nanako meets Kaoru in the clock tower, and Kaoru tells her that she had breast cancer and got a mastectomy. The little hope present for recovery from a relapse within five years has Kaoru petrified, waiting for a potential axe to fall.
