In the morning, Mrs. Ikeda went to the nursing home. It was her fifth year as the director overseeing the assisted-living facility.
The nursing home was on top of a cliff overlooking the majestic blue sea. Most of the elderlies who resided there came from well-off families. The medical care of the facility was top-notch considering this era.
Mrs. Ikeda's maternal aunt opened the nursing home with herself in mind. She was a wealthy yet single elderly lady. Because she loved the view of the town's coastline, she purchased the land on top of the cliff.
The first director was a middle-aged male doctor. He was a respectable and capable man who also offered free services to the residents of the town and nearby villages.
Because he had been through the dreary war period, he knew the importance of easily accessible and affordable medical care.
