Mr.Tanimoto wasn’t affected by the bomb and since he had darted the other way, he had this guilt that forced him to turn the other way towards the hospital. The way Terufumi had reacted to the bomb was a natural response to the bomb and if he hadn’t looked at the wounded he may have left Hiroshima, Japan right
