Dr. Sadao and his wife Hana were aware that their choice to save the enemy soldier would be questioned by everyone. Hana was sympathetic to him since, having known Dr. Sadao for a long time, she knew exactly how he was feeling at the time. She understood that Dr. Sadao was compelled by his duty as a doctor, but she also thought it might be interpreted as a lack of patriotism on his part. The situation was made worse by the fact that he was concealing the enemy inside his house and that their domestic staff had quit. She felt sympathy for her spouse because of his precarious condition.
