**[00:07] Boy**
Have you heard of Misaki?
**[00:10] Boy**
From the 9th grade, class 3.
**[00:13] Girl**
Was there anyone named that in class 3?
**[00:16] Boy**
It happened 26 years ago.
**[00:19] Boy**
She'd been popular ever since the 7th grade.
**[00:22] Boy**
She was smart, pretty,
and had a great personality,
**[00:26] Boy**
so she was loved by
students and teachers alike.
**[00:30] Girl**
Yeah, there's at least one person
like that in every grade.
**[00:33] Boy**
But shortly after she started the 9th grade,
**[00:35] Boy**
Misaki died.
**[00:37] Girl**
What?
**[00:39] Girl**
How?
**[00:39] Boy**
I heard it was an accident.
**[00:42] Boy**
So, everyone was really shocked.
**[00:45] Boy**
Until, suddenly, someone said it.
**[00:48] Girl**
Said what?
**[00:50] Boy**
He pointed to Misaki's desk and said,
**[00:53] Boy**
"Misaki's right there. She's not dead."
**[00:57] Girl**
Was that...
**[00:58] Boy**
Well, it was just an act.
**[01:01] Boy**
But from that day on,
class 3 continued to behave
**[01:05] Boy**
as though Misaki was still alive.
**[01:07] Girl**
That's kinda creepy.
**[01:10] Boy**
They kept up the act right up to graduation.
***SIGN*** Do Not Enter
**[01:14] Boy**
The principal even arranged to have
**[01:16] Boy**
Misaki's seat included in
their graduation ceremony.
**[01:18] Girl**
Isn't that a good thing?
**[01:20] Boy**
Sure, if it ended there.
**[01:23] Girl**
There's more?
**[01:26] Boy**
The rest of the story is...
**[03:18] Reiko**
How do you feel? Are you in pain?
**[03:22] Kouichi**
No.
**[03:23] Tamie**
My goodness, what a way to start your life here.
**[03:29] Tamie**
You poor dear.
**[03:30] Kouichi**
Um...
**[03:32] Kouichi**
I'm sorry, Grandma.
**[03:34] Tamie**
Oh, no. Don't you worry about that.
**[03:37] Tamie**
You couldn't help it.
**[03:38] Kouichi**
Um, does my dad know?
**[03:41] Tamie**
I haven't told him.
**[03:42] Tamie**
Yousuke is in India at the moment, isn't he?
**[03:46] Reiko**
Want me to tell him? I have his number.
**[03:49] Kouichi**
No, thank you. I'll contact him myself.
**[03:53] Reiko**
Yeah. That's probably best.
**[03:56] Tamie**
That Yousuke, he's such a dutiful man.
**[04:01] Tamie**
In all this time since Ritsuko died...
**[04:06] Reiko**
That's the Yomiyama River flowing
through the center of the town.
**[04:10] Reiko**
And can you see the grounds beyond it?
**[04:13] Kouichi**
Um...
**[04:15] Kouichi**
You mean that building?
**[04:16] Reiko**
Yes.
**[04:17] Reiko**
That's the school you'll be attending.
**[04:20] Kouichi**
Is that the same school you went to, Reiko?
**[04:25] Reiko**
Yes, although that was 14 years ago.
**[04:28] Kouichi**
So my mother went there, too?
**[04:29] Reiko**
That's right.
**[04:30] Reiko**
My sister Ritsuko also went to Yomi North.
**[04:33] Kouichi**
Yomi North?
**[04:34] Reiko**
Yomiyama North Junior High.
**[04:37] Kouichi**
Oh.
**[04:38] Reiko**
Public schools are a little
different from private schools,
**[04:41] Reiko**
but it just takes some getting used to.
**[04:43] Reiko**
I'm sure you'll get used to it in no time.
**[04:46] Kouichi**
I hope so.
**[04:48] Reiko**
You'll be fine.
**[04:49] Reiko**
Once you're out of the hospital,
**[04:51] Reiko**
I'll help you prepare for life at Yomi North.
**[04:55] Mizuno**
Oh, you're reading King this
time, mister horror lover?
**[05:04] Mizuno**
Well, I'll leave you guys alone.
**[05:12] Kazami**
We're students of Yomiyama North
Junior High's 9th grade, class 3.
**[05:17] Kouichi**
Okay...
**[05:18] Kazami**
I'm Kazami. Tomohiko Kazami.
**[05:22] Kazami**
This is Sakuragi.
**[05:23] Yukari**
Ah, nice to meet you. I'm Yukari Sakuragi.
**[05:28] Kazami**
And this is—
**[05:28] Izumi**
Izumi Akazawa.
**[05:33] Kouichi**
Um, did you want something?
**[05:34] Kazami**
Oh, yes.
**[05:36] Kazami**
Sakuragi and I are class officers.
**[05:39] Kazami**
Akazawa is in charge of countermeasures.
**[05:42] Kazami**
We came here today as
representatives of class 3.
**[05:45] Kouichi**
Countermeasures?
**[05:47] Izumi**
You just transferred here, right?
**[05:49] Yukari**
We heard that you were supposed to start
**[05:51] Yukari**
coming to school on Monday,
but then suddenly got sick.
**[05:54] Yukari**
So we decided to visit you
on behalf of the entire class.
**[05:59] Yukari**
Um, here. These are from all of us.
**[06:03] Yukari**
You moved here from Tokyo, right?
**[06:06] Kouichi**
Yeah.
**[06:07] Yukari**
And you went to a private school there?
**[06:10] Yukari**
Why did you transfer?
**[06:12] Kouichi**
For family reasons.
**[06:15] Yukari**
Is this your first time living in Yomiyama?
**[06:19] Kouichi**
Yes.
**[06:20] Yukari**
Oh... I thought maybe you used to live here.
**[06:25] Kouichi**
I've been here before,
**[06:27] Kouichi**
but I've never lived here.
**[06:28] Izumi**
Did you stay for a long time?
**[06:31] Kouichi**
I can't say.
**[06:32] Kouichi**
I don't remember.
**[06:34] Kouichi**
I was really young, so... maybe?
**[06:42] Kazami**
Here.
**[06:43] Kazami**
I made you a copy of all notes from
the start of the first term.
**[06:47] Kouichi**
Thank you!
**[06:48] Kouichi**
I think I'll start going to school in early May,
**[06:51] Kouichi**
so I'll see you then.
**[06:55] Kazami**
Um, Sakakibara?
**[06:58] Kouichi**
Yes?
**[07:00] Kazami**
Well...
**[07:01] Izumi**
Sakakibara...
**[07:04] Izumi**
Your first name's Kouichi, right?
**[07:06] Izumi**
May we call you Kouichi?
**[07:07] Kouichi**
Oh, sure.
**[07:12] Izumi**
We look forward to getting
to know you, Kouichi.
**[07:17] Kouichi**
Same here. Thanks.
**[07:28] Izumi**
Kouichi, are you sure you've
never lived in Yomiyama before?
**[07:34] Kouichi**
I don't think so.
***SIGN*** Dad
**[08:00] Kouichi**
Oh, pardon me.
**[08:31] Kouichi**
Are you a Yomi North student?
**[08:39] Kouichi**
Do you have something to do
on the second basement level?
**[08:42] Mei**
Yes.
**[08:44] Kouichi**
But the second basement level is...
**[08:48] Mei**
I have something to deliver.
**[08:52] Mei**
My poor other half...
**[08:56] Mei**
...is waiting for me there.
**[09:19] Kouichi**
Hey, wait.
**[09:26] Kouichi**
What's your name?
**[09:40] Mei**
Mei.
**[09:41] Mei**
Mei Misaki.

**[10:12] Bird**
Good morning, Rei!
**[10:15] Bird**
Good morning, Rei!
**[10:19] Bird**
How are you?
**[10:21] Bird**
Good morning!
**[10:23] Bird**
Good morning!
**[10:28] Yousuke**
Hey there, good morning!
How're you doing?
**[10:31] Kouichi**
Morning...
**[10:32] Yousuke**
It's 2 A.M. over here.
**[10:34] Yousuke**
India sure is hot!
**[10:36] Kouichi**
What's up?
**[10:38] Yousuke**
You're about to leave for school, aren't you?
**[10:40] Yousuke**
This is your go-get-'em call.
Be grateful!
**[10:42] Kouichi**
Uh, sure.
**[10:43] Yousuke**
Feeling okay?
**[10:44] Yousuke**
How've things been since
you got out of the hospital?
**[10:47] Yousuke**
Can you hear me, Kouichi? I wanted to say—
**[10:48] Kouichi**
Hold on, the signal here is bad.
**[10:54] Kouichi**
I'm feeling fine.
**[10:56] Kouichi**
You don't have to worry.
**[10:57] Yousuke**
Yeah, a collapsed lung's not
the end of the world.
**[11:00] Yousuke**
I had one, when I was a boy.
**[11:02] Kouichi**
Really? I didn't know that.
**[11:04] Yousuke**
I never told you.
**[11:06] Yousuke**
I didn't want anyone telling
you it's hereditary.
**[11:10] Kouichi**
Is it?
**[11:11] Yousuke**
I actually had it twice,
but never again after that.
**[11:15] Yousuke**
So if it's hereditary, you're all done.
**[11:17] Kouichi**
I hope so.
**[11:19] Yousuke**
Think of it as something that's in the past,
**[11:21] Yousuke**
and go enjoy your life.
**[11:25] Kouichi**
I won't stress over it.
**[11:26] Yousuke**
That's my boy! Say hello to
your grandparents for me!
**[11:29] Yousuke**
Man, India is seriously hot!
**[11:37] Bird**
Good morning, Rei! Good morning!
**[11:41] Kouichi**
Rei is *your* name, you know.
**[11:43] Bird**
Cheer! Cheer up!
**[11:46] Kouichi**
Sure. Thanks.
**[11:55] Reiko**
Moving along.
**[11:56] Reiko**
The third thing you need to know to
prepare yourself for Yomi North is:
**[11:59] Reiko**
Always uphold the class rules.
**[12:02] Kouichi**
Okay.
**[12:04] Reiko**
Things might be different in Tokyo,
**[12:07] Reiko**
but here the group matters
more than the individual.
**[12:10] Kouichi**
I think I can handle that.
**[12:12] Reiko**
Good.
**[12:13] Reiko**
Now, the fourth thing you need to know is—
**[12:16] Tamie**
Kouichi!
**[12:19] Tamie**
Breakfast is ready!
**[12:22] Ryouhei**
Breakfast, she says, Kouichi.
**[12:25] Kouichi**
Good morning, Grandpa.
**[12:28] Ryouhei**
Good morning.
**[12:30] Ryouhei**
Are you going back to the hospital today?
**[12:33] Kouichi**
No, I've been discharged.
**[12:35] Kouichi**
I start school today.
**[12:37] Ryouhei**
Ah, school.
**[12:39] Ryouhei**
You're already in junior high, eh?
**[12:42] Ryouhei**
Yes, yes.
**[12:44] Ryouhei**
I'm glad you're feeling up to it.
**[12:47] Kouichi**
I'm in the 9th grade now.
**[12:48] Kouichi**
I'll be in high school next year.
**[12:51] Ryouhei**
If only that hadn't happened to Ritsuko...
**[12:56] Tamie**
Kouichi, breakfast!
**[12:59] Kouichi**
Coming!
**[12:59] Bird**
Why, Rei? *Why?*
**[13:05] Kubo**
I hope you'll be able to get along with everyone.
**[13:08] Kubo**
If you have any troubles at all,
**[13:11] Kubo**
please don't hesitate to talk to me.
**[13:14] Kubo**
You can also talk to Ms. Mikami,
the assistant homeroom teacher, of course.
**[13:18] Kouichi**
Yes, sir. Thank you.
**[13:22] Mikami**
We look forward to having you with us.
***SIGN*** May 6 (Wed.)
***SIGN*** Kouichi Sakakibara
**[13:32] Kouichi**
I moved here because of my father's job.
**[13:36] Kouichi**
I'm living with my grandparents.
**[13:39] Kouichi**
And, um, it's nice to meet you.
**[13:45] Kubo**
Please give our new friend
a warm welcome, class.
**[13:50] Kubo**
Help each other, and work
your hardest together,
**[13:54] Kubo**
so that you can all graduate
in prime health next March.
**[14:01] Kubo**
Sakakibara, you can take that seat there.
**[14:04] Kouichi**
Yes, sir.
**[14:24] Ouji**
Are you all healed up?
**[14:27] Kouichi**
Yes, I feel much better.
**[14:29] Saruta**
How does this town compare to Tokyo?
**[14:31] Kouichi**
It's not that different.
**[14:32] Ayano**
But Tokyo sounds so great!
**[14:35] Ayano**
Small country towns like Yomiyama
**[14:36] Ayano**
have nothing going for them these days.
**[14:38] Teshy**
That's for sure.
**[14:40] Teshy**
Nothing interesting happens here.
**[14:42] Kouichi**
Tokyo has its downsides, too.
**[14:44] Kouichi**
It's so noisy, you can't relax.
**[14:46] Saruta**
I guess it might seem that
way, if you've lived there.
**[14:49] Ayano**
You think so?
**[14:50] Ayano**
I'd love to try living in Tokyo!
**[14:53] Kouichi**
I like it better here. It's much quieter.
**[14:56] Kouichi**
And you're surrounded by nature.
**[14:57] Kazami**
That's an opinion you'd only hear
from someone who lived in Tokyo.
**[15:01] Ouji**
I heard your dad is a college professor.
**[15:03] Ouji**
And he's researching
in a foreign country now?
**[15:06] Kouichi**
How did you know that?
**[15:08] Kazami**
Everyone knows.
**[15:09] Kazami**
Mr. Kubodera told us.
**[15:11] Kouichi**
Oh, he did? And about my old school, too?
**[15:13] Yukari**
Pretty much everyone knows.
**[15:16] Yukari**
Ms. Mikami talked to us, too.
**[15:18] Kouichi**
I see.
**[15:19] Teshy**
It's too bad Ms. Mikami
isn't our homeroom teacher.
**[15:23] Teshy**
She's hot, and she's got killer style, yeah?
**[15:25] Kouichi**
Well, um...
**[15:27] Ayano**
Oh? Pretty women not your type, Kouichi?
**[15:31] Kouichi**
It's not that.
**[15:33] Yukari**
Then what kind of girl
do you like, Sakakibara?
**[15:36] Kouichi**
Why are you asking me this...
**[15:37] Ouji**
By the way, what country is your dad in now?
**[15:40] Kouichi**
India.
**[15:41] Kouichi**
He's been there about a year this spring.
**[15:43] Ouji**
Wow, India, huh?
**[15:44] Teshy**
I bet it's hot there.
**[15:46] Teshy**
I wouldn't be able to take it. I can't stand heat.
**[15:49] Saruta**
Consider yourself lucky, Teshy.
**[15:50] Saruta**
No matter how hard you try,
**[15:52] Saruta**
you're never gonna do research
in a place like India.
**[15:53] Teshy**
Yeah, yeah, I'm well aware!
**[16:00] Kazami**
What's wrong? Is something bothering you?
**[16:04] Kouichi**
No, nothing.
**[16:06] Kouichi**
But I was wondering about the
other girl who visited me.
**[16:08] Kouichi**
Akazawa, was it?
**[16:10] Kouichi**
Is she absent today?
**[16:11] Kazami**
Yeah, looks like it.
**[16:15] Teshy**
Hey! Why don't we give you a
tour of the school during lunch?
**[16:19] Teshy**
It's tough not knowing where stuff is, right?
**[16:20] Kazami**
Yeah, that's a good idea.
**[16:22] Kouichi**
Thanks.
**[16:24] Kouichi**
I appreciate it.
**[16:30] Ayano**
Ready!
**[16:43] Taka**
You look like you want to run.
**[16:46] Kouichi**
Yeah. I love running.
**[16:48] Taka**
Yeah?
**[16:49] Taka**
So, you've run before.
**[16:52] Kouichi**
Um, yeah.
**[16:54] Kouichi**
I hear you have a heart condition.
**[16:58] Taka**
Yeah, I was born with it,
**[17:00] Taka**
so I don't know what it feels like to run.
**[17:06] Taka**
I wish I could run with all my strength.
**[17:10] Kouichi**
You might be able to someday.
**[17:15] Taka**
Yeah, maybe you're right. Someday.
**[17:26] Taka**
I'm gonna...
**[17:28] Taka**
...go to the nurse's office to lie down.
**[17:31] Kouichi**
Are you okay?
**[17:32] Taka**
It happens all the time.
**[17:33] Taka**
I can get there by myself.
**[17:42] Yukari**
Sakakibara?
**[17:44] Yukari**
Where did Takabayashi go?
**[17:47] Kouichi**
To rest in the nurse's office.
**[17:50] Yukari**
Oh...
**[17:54] Yukari**
I fell yesterday and sprained my ankle.
**[17:58] Kouichi**
So, we don't share P.E.
with another class here?
**[18:02] Yukari**
Only class 3 is different.
**[18:05] Yukari**
Classes 1 and 2, and classes
4 and 5, have P.E. together.
**[18:11] Yukari**
You walked around with Kazami, Teshigawara,
**[18:14] Yukari**
and the others during lunch, right?
**[18:16] Kouichi**
Yeah.
**[18:16] Yukari**
Did they say anything to you?
**[18:20] Kouichi**
They just gave me a tour of the school.
**[18:22] Yukari**
That's all?
**[18:23] Kouichi**
Yeah.
**[18:26] Yukari**
I see...
**[18:28] Yukari**
If we're not careful,
Akazawa will yell at us.
**[18:36] Kouichi**
Hey, Sakuragi?
**[18:38] Yukari**
Yes?
**[18:39] Kouichi**
I've been wondering...
**[18:41] Kouichi**
Where's Misaki?
**[18:45] Yukari**
Who?
**[18:46] Kouichi**
The girl named Mei Misaki.
**[18:48] Kouichi**
The one wearing an eyepatch on her left eye.
**[18:53] Yukari**
What?
**[18:54] Kouichi**
I didn't see her in the classroom at lunch.
**[19:08] Yukari**
Sakakibara?
**[19:30] Kouichi**
Hey, Misaki.
**[19:32] Kouichi**
You watching the P.E. class, too?
**[19:37] Kouichi**
Should you be up here?
**[19:41] Mei**
I don't know.
**[19:43] Mei**
But there's no point in
watching from up close.
**[19:48] Mei**
And you? Should you be up here?
**[19:52] Kouichi**
I don't know.
**[19:56] Kouichi**
Were you drawing something?
**[20:03] Kouichi**
How do you write "Mei"?
**[20:07] Mei**
With the character that means "sing."
**[20:09] Mei**
The same character used
in "sympathy" and "scream."
**[20:12] Kouichi**
I see.
**[20:14] Kouichi**
So, do you remember meeting me
at Yomiyama Hospital the other day?
**[20:20] Kouichi**
In the elevator.
**[20:22] Kouichi**
You got off at the second basement level.
**[20:26] Mei**
Did something like that happen?
**[20:29] Kouichi**
What did you go to the
second basement level for?
**[20:31] Kouichi**
You said you had something to deliver.
**[20:34] Kouichi**
You were holding some kind of white doll.
**[20:36] Kouichi**
Is that what you had to deliver—
**[20:36] Mei**
I hate being questioned.
**[20:39] Kouichi**
Oh, sorry.
**[20:41] Kouichi**
I wasn't trying to force you to tell me.
**[20:43] Kouichi**
I just, well...
**[20:47] Mei**
Something very sad happened that day.
**[20:54] Mei**
You are Kouichi Sakakibara, correct?
**[20:58] Kouichi**
Yes.
**[20:59] Mei**
Your classmates haven't told you?
**[21:03] Kouichi**
Told me what?
**[21:04] Mei**
They associate your name with death.
**[21:08] Mei**
But not just any death.
**[21:12] Mei**
A cruel, irrational death that
took place at this school.
**[21:17] Mei**
This school is in a place close to death,
**[21:21] Mei**
especially the 9th grade's class 3.
**[21:24] Mei**
It's much, much closer to it
than any of the other classes.
**[21:28] Kouichi**
To... death?
**[21:32] Mei**
You really don't know anything, Sakakibara?
**[21:37] Mei**
Nothing at all?
**[21:39] Mei**
Nobody has told you?
**[21:41] Kouichi**
About what?
**[21:43] Mei**
You'll find out soon enough.
**[21:47] Mei**
You shouldn't try to get close to me.
**[21:51] Mei**
