[00:03] Mei
    Shall I show you?
[00:07] Mei
    Shall I show you...
[00:09] Mei
    ...what's under this eyepatch?
[02:18] Kouichi
    An artificial eye?
[02:20] Mei
    My left eye is a doll's.
[02:24] Mei
    It can see things that
    should remain unseen,
[02:27] Mei
    so I usually keep it covered.
[02:30] Mei
    Do you feel ill?
[02:34] Mei
    This might not be a good place for you,
    since you're not used to it.
[02:38] Kouichi
    Not a good place?
[02:41] Mei
    The dolls...
[02:47] Mei
    Dolls are hollow, you see.
[02:51] Mei
    Completely hollow, in body and soul.
[02:55] Mei
    That void connects them with death.
[02:59] Mei
    But hollow things seek to fill their emptiness.
[03:04] Mei
    Don't you feel as though this
    place is drawing something out of you?
[03:10] Kouichi
    Yeah.
[03:13] Mei
    We should go.
[03:14] Mei
    It's more comfortable upstairs.
[03:19] Kouichi
    Do you live around here?
[03:22] Mei
    Yes.
[03:24] Kouichi
    That thing about "Yomi at Twilight"...
[03:27] Kouichi
    Is that the name of this shop?
SIGN    Feel free to drop in. -Studio M
[03:32] Kouichi
    What is Studio M?
[03:35] Mei
    Kirika's studio.
[03:36] Mei
    It's on the second floor.
[03:38] Kouichi
    Kirika?
[03:40] Mei
    The person who makes these dolls.
[03:46] Kouichi
    The ones in the basement, too?
[03:49] Mei
    Yes, I think they're all Kirika's.
[03:57] Kouichi
    Why does that doll...
[03:59] Kouichi
    ...look so much like you?
[04:03] Mei
    Who knows?
[04:05] Kouichi
    When I first met you,
    weren't you holding a doll?
[04:10] Mei
    Yes.
[04:12] Kouichi
    I heard a girl died
    at the hospital that day.
[04:17] Kouichi
    Was it for her?
[04:21] Kouichi
    I mean, um...
[04:24] Mizuno
    I think her name was Misaki, or Masaki.
[04:27] Mizuno
    Something like that.
[04:30] Kouichi
    Do you have any sisters?
[04:39] Mizuno
    Apparently, she was an only daughter,
[04:41] Mizuno
    so her parents were devastated.
[04:49] Kouichi
    Why are you...
[04:51] Mei
    Why indeed.
[04:54] Amane
    I have no other customers.
[05:03] Mei
    Do you have something else to ask me?
[05:07] Kouichi
    Well, yes.
[05:11] Kouichi
    A few things seem strange to me.
[05:14] Kouichi
    Like...
[05:16] Mei
    I warned you not to get close to me.
[05:20] Mei
    But it may be too late.
[05:22] Kouichi
    Too late?
[05:24] Mei
    You don't know a thing about it, do you?
[05:30] Mei
    There's an old story in this town...
[05:32] Mei
    ...about the class 3 of 26 years ago.
[05:37] Mei
    I'm guessing nobody has told you.
[05:46] Mei
    There was a student in that class...
[05:49] Mei
    ...who excelled in sports and her studies.
[05:51] Mei
    She was kind to everyone.
[05:54] Mei
    She was loved by teachers
    and students alike.
[05:58] Mei
    But shortly after starting 9th grade, she died.
[06:04] Kouichi
    How?
[06:06] Mei
    The story I heard said she was in
    a plane crash with her family.
[06:10] Mei
    But there are several other theories.
[06:13] Mei
    Some say it was a car accident.
[06:15] Mei
    Others claim she died in a house fire.
[06:18] Mei
    Regardless, everyone in the
    class was terribly shocked.
[06:23] Mei
    They were overcome with grief.
[06:28] Mei
    But then, suddenly, someone said,
[06:31] Mei
    "She isn't dead."
[06:34] Mei
    He pointed at her desk and said,
[06:37] Mei
    "Look, she's right there.
[06:40] Mei
    See? She's alive and well."
[06:46] Mei
    Then, other students started
    saying the same thing.
[06:51] Mei
    "It's true, she's not dead."
[06:56] Mei
    That behavior spread through
[06:57] Mei
    the rest of the class, like a chain reaction.
[07:00] Mei
    They didn't want to believe the truth.
[07:03] Mei
    They didn't want to accept the cruel reality.
[07:08] Mei
    I'm sure you can relate.
[07:12] Mei
    Everyone in the class
    continued with that act,
[07:15] Mei
    insisting that the girl was still alive.
[07:19] Mei
    Even the homeroom teacher
    took their side, declaring,
[07:22] Mei
    "It's true, she's alive.
[07:25] Mei
    So all of you should continue
    to work hard as a team,
[07:28] Mei
    until the day you all graduate together."
[07:32] Mei
    The principal even arranged to have her seat
[07:35] Mei
    included in the graduation ceremony.
[07:38] Kouichi
    Is this... a true story?
[07:41] Mei
    Then, after graduation,
[07:44] Mei
    everyone gathered in the
    classroom for the class photo.
[07:46] Mei
    The whole class, including the teacher.
[07:49] Mei
    But when they looked at the
    photo, they noticed something.
[07:54] Mei
    There in the photo, off to the side,
[07:56] Mei
    they could see the girl
    who should have been gone.
[07:59] Mei
    Her face was deathly pale,
[08:02] Mei
    but she smiled like all the others.
[08:05] Mei
    That girl...
[08:06] Mei
    The student who died...
[08:10] Mei
    ...was named Misaki.
[08:18] Mei
    There's more to this story.
[08:28] Kouichi
    Oh, sorry.
[08:34] Kouichi
    I'm sorry, Grandma.
[08:37] Kouichi
    Yeah, I'm okay.
[08:41] Kouichi
    I just got a little sidetracked.
[08:43] Kouichi
    I'm heading home now.
[08:51] Mei
    I hate those devices.
[08:53] Mei
    You can be found, and caught, anywhere.
[08:58] Amane
    It's closing time.
[09:01] Amane
    Please go on home now.

[09:17] Teshigawara
    Once exams are over,
    we start career counseling...
[09:19] Teshigawara
    Having to discuss that
    formally with a teacher
[09:23] Teshigawara
    is so depressing.
[09:25] Kazami
    These days, high school
    acceptance rates are over 95%.
[09:29] Kazami
    So don't worry.
[09:31] Kazami
    There's a high school out
    there even you could get into.
[09:33] Teshigawara
    Is that supposed to encourage me?
[09:35] Kazami
    That was my intent.
[09:38] Teshigawara
    Where are you gonna go?
[09:42] Kazami
    West High.
[09:45] Teshigawara
    Are your grades that high?
[09:48] Kazami
    I'm working on them.
[09:49] Teshigawara
    Oh yeah?
[09:51] Teshigawara
    Ah...
[09:54] Teshigawara
    Well, good luck with that.
[09:57] Teshigawara
    At any rate, you're stuck
    with me until graduation.
[10:01] Teshigawara
    Keep your strength up!
[10:03] Kouichi
    You're stuck?
[10:04] Kouichi
    We've been together since 2nd grade.
[10:08] Kouichi
    We're even neighbors.
[10:09] Teshigawara
    When we were kids,
[10:11] Teshigawara
    we did all kinds of stupid stuff together.
[10:13] Teshigawara
    But now he's turned into
    this pseudo-honors student
[10:15] Teshigawara
    who can't keep up with my improv.
[10:17] Kazami
    To me, it just looks like
    you haven't changed.
[10:21] Teshigawara
    I've changed a lot!
[10:24] Teshigawara
    What do you know about me?
[10:28] Kazami
    I know things about you
    that even you don't know.
[10:32] Teshigawara
    Like what?
[10:35] Kazami
    That's how we're stuck with each other.
[10:40] Kouichi
    Makes sense.
[10:42] Teshigawara
    So, what are you gonna do about high school?
[10:45] Teshigawara
    Go back to Tokyo?
[10:47] Kouichi
    Yeah.
[10:48] Kouichi
    My dad will be back in Japan by next spring.
[10:51] Kazami
    You'll go to a private school there?
[10:52] Kouichi
    Probably.
[10:54] Izumi
    That's one way, I guess.
[10:56] Teshigawara
    What do you mean?
[10:58] Izumi
    Maybe I'll go to a private
    school in Tokyo, too.
[11:01] Izumi
    What school are you going to, Kouichi?
[11:05] Kouichi
    K High.
[11:07] Izumi
    K High, huh?
[11:09] Nakao
    Akazawa, you're going to Tokyo?
[11:11] Izumi
    If I do, I suppose I'll live on my own.
[11:19] Teshigawara
    Weren't you going to that
[11:21] Teshigawara
    Sacred Heart something-or-other
    girls' school?
[11:23] Izumi
    I never said I wanted to go there!
[11:27] Teshigawara
    Another one who's trying too hard for nothing.
[11:57] Yukari
    Sakakibara?
[12:01] Yukari
    Didn't you bring an umbrella?
[12:05] Kouichi
    No.
[12:07] Kouichi
    I didn't think I'd need one.
[12:11] Yukari
    Um...
[12:13] Yukari
    Would you like to walk home with me, then?
[12:17] Yukari
    My house is just past yours.
[12:23] Kouichi
    But... I couldn't ask you to do that.
[12:32] Yukari
    It's no big deal.
[12:34] Yukari
    Come on, let's go.
[12:43] Kouichi
    By the way, what do you do
    for class trips here?
[12:46] Yukari
    We went to Tokyo, last year.
[12:49] Yukari
    We went to a big amusement park,
[12:51] Yukari
    and to the top of Tokyo Tower.
[12:53] Yukari
    It was so much fun.
[12:54] Kouichi
    You went to Tokyo, huh?
[12:56] Yukari
    I love Tokyo. There are so
    many fun things to do.
[13:01] Yukari
    I wish I could go to school there...
[13:03] Kouichi
    Why don't you?
[13:07] Yukari
    My family can't afford it.
[13:12] Kouichi
    Wait, aren't class trips
    usually a 9th grade thing?
[13:17] Yukari
    Not here. We go during
    the 8th grade fall term.
[13:21] Yukari
    Although, it used to be in
    the 9th grade spring term.
[13:25] Kouichi
    Used to?
[13:26] Yukari
    Um, yeah...
[13:28] Yukari
    I don't know when it changed.
[13:37] Mei
    I don't dislike rain.
[13:40] Kouichi
    Hey, Sakuragi?
[13:42] Kouichi
    What is Misaki like?
[13:52] Yukari
    Don't...
[13:54] Kouichi
    Don't what?
[14:01] Yukari
    Don't ever speak that name in class 3!
[14:09] Kouichi
    What?
[14:14] Kouichi
    But why—
[14:14] Teshigawara
    Man, the rain's gotten worse.
[14:19] Kouichi
    Hey, do you know the story
[14:21] Kouichi
    about the class 3 of 26 years ago?
[14:27] Teshigawara
    You actually believe stories like that?
[14:33] Yukari
    How...
[14:36] Yukari
    How do you know...
[14:38] Kouichi
    I just heard a rumor.
[14:44] Teshigawara
    How much did you hear?
[14:45] Kouichi
    A popular student suddenly died,
[14:48] Kouichi
    and then she showed up in
    the class' graduation photo.
[14:54] Kouichi
    That's about it.
[14:56] Yukari
    Only the first year...
[15:04] Mikami
    Why do you all look so serious?
[15:08] Yukari
    Sakakibara knows about the first year...
[15:13] Bird
    Good morning, Rei!
[15:15] Bird
    Rei!
[15:16] Kouichi
    Yeah, yeah, morning.
[15:19] Mikami
    Ah. That's a delicate issue.
[15:23] Mikami
    Let's try to keep it as quiet
    as possible, for now.
[15:27] Mikami
    Just keep an eye on things.
[15:35] Reiko
    I'm home!
[15:42] Kouichi
    Welcome back.
[15:47] Reiko
    Hey, don't you have exams next week?
[15:52] Reiko
    Figure they'll be a breeze?
[15:54] Kouichi
    Not at all.
[15:56] Kouichi
    I'm doing all the studying I need to.
[15:59] Reiko
    Okay then, sorry I asked.
[16:06] Reiko
    Man, I'm beat!
[16:09] Kouichi
    Um, Reiko?
[16:12] Kouichi
    Do you remember which 9th
    grade class my mom was in?
[16:20] Reiko
    Nope.
[16:25] Kouichi
    Then, do you know the story about
    the class 3 of 26 years ago?
[16:32] Kouichi
    Reiko?
[16:34] Reiko
    Huh?
[16:36] Kouichi
    Um... I was asking about the
    class 3 of 26 years ago.
[16:44] Reiko
    That story's been swirling around for years.
[16:47] Kouichi
    I heard there's a continuation to it.
[16:51] Reiko
    You don't know all of it?
[16:56] Kouichi
    You know it, don't you?
[17:00] Reiko
    That type of story tends to get embellished.
[17:07] Reiko
    I don't think you should
    take it too seriously.
[17:12] Reiko
    There's a right time to
    find out about everything.
[17:18] Reiko
    Ritsuko was in class 3.
[17:26] Bird
    Why, Rei?
[17:29] Bird
    Why?
[17:46] Kouichi
    Hang on.
SIGN    Entry Prohibited
[18:01] Kouichi
    Yeah?
[18:02] Teshigawara
    Are you all right?
[18:04] Kouichi
    Why do you ask?
[18:05] Teshigawara
    I called because I thought
    you were in trouble!
[18:08] Teshigawara
    Akazawa looks like she's
    about to blow her top!
[18:11] Kouichi
    Why would she...
[18:14] Teshigawara
    Listen, Sakaki.
[18:15] Teshigawara
    Don't mess with things that don't exist!
[18:18] Kouichi
    What are you talking about?
[18:20] Teshigawara
    It's dangerous!
[18:22] Teshigawara
    As for that story you asked about yesterday,
[18:25] Teshigawara
    I'll tell you everything next month.
[18:28] Teshigawara
    So, for the rest of this month, just—
[18:41] Mizuno
    It's about that girl who died at the hospital.
[18:47] Kouichi
    Did you find something?
[18:48] Mizuno
    Her name was Misaki.
[18:51] Mizuno
    Misaki, not Masaki.
[18:54] Mizuno
    The "mi" used in "future,"
[18:55] Mizuno
    and the "saki" meaning "blooming flowers."
[18:57] Mizuno
    And it turns out her surname was Fujioka.
[19:00] Kouichi
    Misaki Fujioka?
[19:04] Mizuno
    Why do you want to know about her?
[19:07] Kouichi
    Um, well...
[19:09] Mizuno
    You don't have to tell me now.
[19:12] Mizuno
    But someday, okay?
[19:13] Kouichi
    Okay.
[19:14] Mizuno
    By the way, you have exams coming up, right?
[19:17] Kouichi
    Yes.
[19:18] Mizuno
    My little brother's studying like crazy, too.
[19:21] Kouichi
    You have a brother?
[19:22] Mizuno
    Two, actually.
[19:24] Mizuno
    They're both total muscleheads, though.
[19:28] Mizuno
    They don't care one bit about books!
[19:30] Mizuno
    I don't think they've ever read
    anything except manga.
[19:32] Mizuno
    Isn't that just awful?

    You left before the exam period
    ended yesterday, too.
[20:11] Kouichi
    Is everything okay?
[20:13] Mei
    Yes, I'm fine.
[20:19] Kouichi
    So, her name was Misaki Fujioka.
[20:22] Kouichi
    The girl who died.
[20:25] Mei
    Misaki...
[20:28] Mei
    Misaki was my cousin.
[20:32] Mei
    We used to be together all the time.
[20:35] Mei
    We were much more closely connected.
[20:37] Kouichi
    Connected?
[20:42] Kouichi
    Hey...
[20:45] Kouichi
    About class 3 from 26 years ago...
[20:49] Kouichi
    What's the rest of the story?
[20:53] Mei
    Nobody will tell you?
[20:56] Kouichi
    No.
[20:57] Mei
    I suppose that's understandable.
[21:01] Kouichi
    There's something I've wanted to ask.
[21:06] Kouichi
    Something I've been wondering
     since I transferred here.
[21:10] Kouichi
    Why does everyone in our class,
[21:13] Kouichi
    even our teachers, act like you—
[21:16] Mei
    Because I don't exist.
[21:19] Teshigawara
    Listen, Sakaki.
[21:20] Teshigawara
    Don't mess with things that don't exist!
[21:24] Kouichi
    That's...
[21:26] Teshigawara
    It's dangerous!
[21:29] Kouichi
    But...
[21:30] Mei
    None of them can see me.
[21:36] Mei
    What if you're the only
    one who can see me?
[21:45] Kouichi
    No...
[21:48] Kouichi
    It can't be...
[21:52] Kouichi
    That's...
[22:20] Kouichi
    What's wrong with her?
[24:48] Kouichi
    Put flesh.
