She's the foster daughter of a local family, almost engaged to the family's son Yukio, who is now dying of consumption. He's tended to by his sister Yuko who's angry at Komako for abandoning her brother. Shimamura returns to Tokyo but promises he will be back soon. In anticipation of his return, Komako breaks with her patron, and her family lose their home. Complications arise when Shimamura doesn't come back as promised.
