Dr. Sadao will be arrested on the charge of harboring an enemy if somebody complains against him and discloses the secret.He, on humanitarian grounds as well as professional grounds, had tended a wounded war- prisoner which was officially a serious crime. However, he did not get punished for this offence as it was never revealed to anyone, except his wife, loyal but timid servants, and a General who was too self-obsessed with his own treatment. It was sure that he would never let the doctor leave him.
