[02:52] Chibiki
    Everyone out!
[02:55] Chibiki
    Call the police and an ambulance, now!
[03:03] Chibiki
    Was anyone hurt?
[03:06] Chibiki
    Are you all right?
[03:08] Kouichi
    I'm okay.
[03:13] Mei
    Let's go, Sakakibara.
[03:17] Mei
    It looks like making two students
    not exist didn't work.
[03:33] Kubodera
    I'm at my wit's end.
[03:35] Kubodera
    I'm so tired.
[03:38] Kubodera
    I don't know what to do.
[03:42] Chibiki
    Mr. Kubodera...
[03:45] Kubodera
    I'm sure you understand.
[03:49] Kubodera
    I leave the rest to you.
[03:59] Chibiki
    That troubled me.
[04:06] Chibiki
    Sorry.
[04:09] Chibiki
    Anyway, the result of an investigation
    of Mr. Kubodera's home was disturbing.
[04:17] Chibiki
    Mr. Kubodera was a bachelor,
[04:19] Chibiki
    who still lived with his mother.
[04:22] Chibiki
    She was well on in years,
[04:25] Chibiki
    and had been bedridden for some
    time, due to a serious illness.
[04:30] Chibiki
    They found her dead in her bed.
[04:35] Chibiki
    She had clearly been murdered.
[04:38] Chibiki
    The stress of caring for her...
    The class 3 calamity...
[04:42] Chibiki
    Perhaps he felt so trapped by it all
    that it drove him to kill his own mother.
[04:51] Chibiki
    And then he killed himself
    in front of his students.
[04:55] Chibiki
    Why would he make such extreme decisions?
[04:59] Kouichi
    You think this was a
    result of the phenomenon?
[05:02] Chibiki
    Yes.
[05:03] Mei
    So he was drawn into death
    by otherwise unlikely means?
[05:10] Chibiki
    Could there be any other explanation?
[05:14] Kouichi
    The calamity hasn't been stopped.
[05:17] Chibiki
    People will keep dying.
[05:20] Teshigawara
    There was nothing we could do.
[05:22] Teshigawara
    Come on, Sakaki, don't get so down.
[05:25] Teshigawara
    Blaming yourself won't change anything.
SIGN    Do Not Enter
[05:30] Kouichi
    Until recently, you were...
[05:32] Teshigawara
    Yeah, and it was breaking my heart!
[05:36] Teshigawara
    You know the whole story now, right?
[05:39] Teshigawara
    So you get where I'm coming from?
[05:41] Kouichi
    Yes, I understand perfectly well.
[05:45] Teshigawara
    What about you, Misaki?
    Feel like a weight's been lifted?
[05:49] Mei
    Hard to say.
[05:50] Mei
    I didn't really feel a
    weight to begin with.
[05:54] Teshigawara
    You are seriously weird.
[05:59] Izumi
    Here you are.
[06:04] Teshigawara
    Jeez, what's your problem?
[06:06] Izumi
    You both might exist again,
[06:08] Izumi
    but you'd best be prepared.
[06:10] Kouichi
    For what?
[06:13] Izumi
    It's your fault.
[06:16] Teshigawara
    H-Hey!
[06:18] Izumi
    People will say that.
[06:20] Izumi
    There's no way you'll be
    considered completely innocent,
[06:23] Izumi
    and I'm sure I'll be accused
    of incompetence, as well.
[06:27] Kouichi
    True.
[06:29] Teshigawara
    Where do you stand?
[06:36] Izumi
    I can't blame Kouichi,
[06:38] Izumi
    no matter what anyone says.
[06:40] Izumi
    But it's not over.
[06:42] Izumi
    The calamity, and my work as
    head of countermeasures,
[06:46] Izumi
    are only just beginning.
[06:50] Kouichi
    I wonder if anyone will go
[06:52] Kouichi
    into hiding now, until summer break.
[06:54] Teshigawara
    Definitely.
[06:56] Mei
    Some people may have fled town already.
[06:59] Teshigawara
    You think?
[07:00] Mei
    Yes. It happens every year.
[07:02] Mei
    There are always people who leave
[07:04] Mei
    Yomiyama for summer break.
[07:07] Teshigawara
    It's all so strange.
[07:08] Teshigawara
    But you really are weird, Misaki.
[07:12] Teshigawara
    You talk like this doesn't involve you.
[07:14] Mei
    Do I?
[07:15] Teshigawara
    Could it be that you're
    actually the extra this year?
[07:20] Mei
    It could very well be you, you know.
[07:24] Teshigawara
    M-Me? No way!
[07:26] Teshigawara
    Don't even joke about that.
[07:28] Mei
    There's really no way?
[07:30] Teshigawara
    No, no, no!
[07:31] Teshigawara
    I have no memories of dying!
[07:34] Teshigawara
    And, not to brag,
[07:35] Teshigawara
    but I clearly remember all
    the shit I got into as a kid!
[07:57] Chibiki
    You look well.
[07:59] Kouichi
    Thanks.
[08:01] Kouichi
    Was Akazawa here to talk
    to you about something?
[08:04] Chibiki
    As head of countermeasures,
[08:06] Chibiki
    she comes here often.
[08:08] Kouichi
    I see.
[08:10] Chibiki
    She's a strong girl, and she knows that,
[08:15] Chibiki
    but considering what she's up against...
[08:18] Chibiki
    I pity her.
[08:22] Chibiki
    By the way, Ms. Mikami
    dropped by today, too.
[08:26] Kouichi
    Ms. Mikami?
[08:28] Chibiki
    She knows my history here.
[08:32] Chibiki
    There was something she
    wanted to formally discuss.
[08:34] Chibiki
    And what brings you two here?
[08:37] Kouichi
    I wanted to ask about 15 years ago,
    when the calamity stopped midyear.
[08:45] Chibiki
    That was the one time
    in the past 25 years
[08:47] Chibiki
    when it stopped midyear.
SIGN    April 12, sister, Kyouko, illness
    July 23, sister, Ikumi, illness
    June 6, accident
    June 13, accident
    August 9, accident
    August 9, accident
[08:55] Chibiki
    Excluding Ritsuko, whom I didn't know about,
[08:58] Chibiki
    there were seven deaths that year.
[09:01] Chibiki
    When did Ritsuko die?
[09:03] Kouichi
    In July.
[09:05] Kouichi
    Wait...
[09:07] Kouichi
    Does that mean the deaths
    stopped in August?
[09:09] Chibiki
    Yes, and look at the date
    of the August deaths.
[09:13] Kouichi
    August 9...
[09:15] Chibiki
    That class had just left
    for a class trip on August 8.
[09:20] Kouichi
    Class trip?
[09:22] Reiko
    I think something may have
    happened during summer break...
[09:25] Kouichi
    So two students died in
    accidents on that trip?
[09:28] Kouichi
    And something happened on that trip
    that stopped the calamity?
[09:34] Chibiki
    So it would seem.
[09:35] Chibiki
    Notice that no one is listed
    as "deceased" on that page.
SIGN    Deceased:
[09:39] Chibiki
    It never became clear who
    the dead person was that year.
[09:44] Mei
    Why did it stop?
[09:46] Chibiki
    I'm not certain.
[09:48] Chibiki
    But I do know that they
    visited the Yomiyama Shrine.
[09:52] Kouichi
    A shrine?
[09:55] Chibiki
    A very old shrine, located
    halfway up Mt. Yomiyama.
[09:59] Chibiki
    Their lodge was at
    the foot of that mountain.
[10:02] Kouichi
    So maybe if we visit the shrine...
[10:04] Chibiki
    Naturally, people went back to it in
[10:06] Chibiki
    years when the calamity occurred,
[10:08] Chibiki
    but it had no effect.
[10:13] Kouichi
    So the shrine had nothing to do with it?
[10:15] Chibiki
    No, that's not conclusive.
[10:18] Chibiki
    It could be that going
    there in a large group,
[10:22] Chibiki
    in early August, was effective.
[10:24] Chibiki
    Of course, we can't deny the
    possibility that the effect came
[10:27] Chibiki
    from something else, unrelated
    to visiting the shrine.
[10:30] Chibiki
    This is what Ms. Mikami came
    here to discuss with me today.
SIGN    July 17 (Fri.)
[10:36] Mikami
    This may seem abrupt,
[10:38] Mikami
    but we will be conducting a class trip
[10:40] Mikami
    from August 8-10, for three
    days and two nights.
[10:44] Mikami
    Please prioritize this event,
[10:47] Mikami
    and plan to participate,
    if at all possible.
[10:51] Mikami
    You will receive additional
    details in the coming days.
[10:53] Mikami
    I will mail the forms to all of you.
[10:56] Teshigawara
    Question!
[11:01] Izumi
    Ms. Mikami?
[11:15] Mei
    Who is dead?
[11:19] Mei
    Who is dead?
[11:29] Mei
    Who is dead?
[11:42] Mei
    The dead one...
[11:44] Mei
    ...is you.
[11:46] Kouichi
    M-Me?
SIGN    Dad
[12:18] Kouichi
    Hello?
[12:19] Yousuke
    I swear, India just gets hotter and hotter!
[12:21] Yousuke
    How've you been, kiddo?
[12:23] Kouichi
    Fine, I guess.
[12:25] Kouichi
    Yeah.
[12:27] Kouichi
    Yeah, everyone's doing well.
[12:33] Kouichi
    Hey, Dad?
[12:35] Kouichi
    Have you ever seen any of Mom's
    photos from junior high?
[12:39] Yousuke
    Photos?
[12:40] Yousuke
    I'm pretty sure she showed me
[12:42] Yousuke
    her graduation album when we got engaged.
[12:45] Kouichi
    Any others?
[12:46] Kouichi
    Like, have you seen the group photo
[12:49] Kouichi
    her class took after their
    graduation ceremony?
[12:52] Yousuke
    Group photo? Why do you ask?
[12:54] Kouichi
    Well, I've heard that it
    was kind of weird.
SIGN    Do Not Enter
[12:58] Kouichi
    Like, a ghost photo.
[13:01] Yousuke
    Where did you hear a
    silly story like that?
[13:04] Yousuke
    For one thing, ghost photos are just—
[13:06] Kouichi
    Well, it's just...
[13:07] Yousuke
    Oh, actually, now that you mention it,
[13:10] Yousuke
    I might've heard a story
    like that, a long time ago.
[13:13] Yousuke
    Something about a creepy photo.
[13:17] Kouichi
    Did you see it?
[13:18] Yousuke
    Nope.
[13:19] Yousuke
    She didn't like having it near her,
[13:21] Yousuke
    so she left it at her parents' place.
[13:23] Kouichi
    Her parents' place?
[13:25] Yousuke
    Hey, Kouichi, something goin' on there?
[13:29] Kouichi
    No, nothing.
[13:30] Kouichi
    I'm just kinda bored.
[13:32] Yousuke
    Ah.
[13:34] Yousuke
    You know, Ritsuko was
    a very special lady.
[13:38] Yousuke
    My feelings for her haven't changed a bit.
[13:42] Yousuke
    And that's why you're my—
[13:44] Kouichi
    Okay, I get it!
[13:45] Kouichi
    Later!
[13:53] Kouichi
    Inoya?
[13:55] Kouichi
    Yeah, I know where that is, but...
[13:58] Kouichi
    Today?
[14:01] Teshigawara
    Come on, dude!
[14:02] Teshigawara
    Don't tell me.
[14:04] Teshigawara
    You got a date with Mei?
[14:06] Kouichi
    Well? What is it you want to talk about?
[14:08] Teshigawara
    It's gotta be in person.
[14:10] Teshigawara
    If you've got a date,
    just bring Mei along.
[14:12] Teshigawara
    This problem involves
    the whole class, after all.
[14:17] Kouichi
    All right, I'll be there.
[14:21] Izumi
    Kouichi!
[14:23] Izumi
    Over here.
[14:24] Kouichi
    Akazawa?
[14:26] Izumi
    Teshigawara called you here, right?
[14:28] Kouichi
    Um...
[14:30] Izumi
    Have a seat.
[14:32] Kouichi
    He called you, too?
[14:33] Izumi
    Yes.
[14:35] Izumi
    Only because he said it
    "involves the whole class."
[14:37] Izumi
    I wouldn't go anywhere at
    his invitation otherwise.
[14:44] Izumi
    Teshigawara filled me in on
    what happened 15 years ago.
[14:48] Izumi
    And about your mom, too.
[14:52] Kouichi
    Oh...
[14:54] Tomoka
    Welcome.
[14:58] Tomoka
    A friend of yours, Izumi?
[15:00] Izumi
    Yes.
[15:01] Izumi
    This is my classmate,
    Kouichi Sakakibara.
[15:04] Tomoka
    Oh, that must make you
    Yuuya's friend, too.
[15:07] Tomoka
    Thanks for being so kind to my brother.
[15:09] Tomoka
    I'm Yuuya Mochizuki's
    older sister, Tomoka.
[15:12] Tomoka
    Nice to meet you.
[15:13] Kouichi
    Oh, yes, likewise.
[15:15] Tomoka
    Yuuya has told me a lot about you.
[15:18] Kouichi
    What can I get for you?
[15:19] Kouichi
    Oh, let me see...
[15:21] Izumi
    He'll have the same as me.
[15:24] Tomoka
    Oh...
[15:26] Tomoka
    Coming right up.
[15:30] Kouichi
    What did you get?
[15:32] Izumi
    Coffee.
[15:33] Kouichi
    I don't like coffee. It's too bitter.
[15:37] Izumi
    Well, the coffee here is the real deal.
[15:39] Izumi
    They use Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy beans.
[15:42] Tomoka
    Thank you for waiting.
[15:44] Tomoka
    Please enjoy.
[15:47] Izumi
    Just take my word for it.
[15:49] Izumi
    Give it a try.
[15:57] Kouichi
    It's bitter, but also sweet.
[16:00] Kouichi
    I like it.
[16:05] Izumi
    So, you didn't go back to Tokyo?
[16:08] Kouichi
    No. It'd feel like I was
    running away, and...
[16:15] Kouichi
    I've started to wonder
    if it's me who's dead.
[16:18] Izumi
    Maybe you were never born.
[16:24] Izumi
    Maybe 15 years ago,
[16:25] Izumi
    the calamity took your mother's life,
[16:29] Izumi
    and she couldn't give birth to you.
[16:32] Izumi
    And now, 15 years later,
[16:34] Izumi
    you've come back to life as a
    transfer student in class 3.
[16:39] Kouichi
    That's...
[16:40] Kouichi
    That's ridiculous.
[16:47] Izumi
    Don't take me so seriously.
[16:49] Izumi
    True, I did consider the possibility,
[16:52] Izumi
    but...
[16:55] Izumi
    Shake my hand.
[17:02] Izumi
    I still get the feeling
    that we've met...
[17:05] Izumi
    No, that I've shaken your
    hand somewhere before.
[17:09] Kouichi
    You think so?
[17:11] Izumi
    I can't call up a visual memory,
[17:14] Izumi
    but my hand physically remembers yours.
[17:20] Kouichi
    Now that you mention it,
[17:21] Kouichi
    you shook my hand at the hospital, too.
[17:23] Kouichi
    Did you do that for a reason?
[17:25] Izumi
    There's a rumor that dead people
    have shockingly cold hands.
[17:30] Izumi
    I doubt it's true, though.
[17:32] Izumi
    If it were that easy to tell...
[17:35] Tomoka
    Welcome.
[17:37] Teshigawara
    Sorry I'm late.
[17:41] Teshigawara
    Hey, guys!
[17:46] Teshigawara
    What'd you do that for?
[17:47] Teshigawara
    Do you hate me that much?
[17:49] Izumi
    Want the truth?
[17:51] Teshigawara
    I wouldn't mind...
[17:53] Teshigawara
    Oh, whatever. I'll let it slide today.
[17:57] Kouichi
    What did you want to talk about?
[17:59] Teshigawara
    You tell them, Mochizuki.
[18:02] Mochizuki
    Okay.
[18:04] Mochizuki
    Since there's a chance
[18:06] Mochizuki
    that my sister could become
    involved in what's going on...
[18:09] Mochizuki
    Oh, my sister is...
[18:11] Kouichi
    Tomoka, right?
[18:13] Mochizuki
    Yeah.
[18:14] Mochizuki
    Anyway, I just couldn't
    keep quiet about it...
[18:18] Izumi
    You told her?
[18:20] Mochizuki
    Down to the details.
[18:22] Mochizuki
    She went to Yomi North, too,
[18:25] Mochizuki
    so she knew the rumors about class 3.
[18:27] Teshigawara
    And Tomoka actually gave us a
    surprising bit of info.
[18:37] Tomoka
    One of our regulars is a man
    named Katsumi Matsunaga.
[18:41] Tomoka
    I knew he went to Yomi North,
[18:44] Tomoka
    but I recently found out
    that he was in class 3.
[18:48] Tomoka
    I worked up the courage to ask him
[18:51] Tomoka
    if it had happened in his year.
[18:54] Tomoka
    And he said...
[18:56] Matsunaga
    The curse that year wasn't...
[18:59] Matsunaga
    It wasn't my fault.
[19:01] Matsunaga
    I saved them all.
[19:03] Matsunaga
    I saved them!
[19:05] Matsunaga
    I knew I had to tell them!
    So that's why...
[19:10] Matsunaga
    I left it there.
[19:12] Kouichi
    What does that mean? Left what, where?
[19:14] Tomoka
    He couldn't seem to recall.
[19:17] Tomoka
    I've asked him about it many times,
[19:19] Tomoka
    but he insists he has no idea.
[19:21] Teshigawara
    Makes you curious, doesn't it?
[19:23] Izumi
    This Matsunaga guy
    stopped the calamity?
[19:26] Izumi
    And he left a hint on how
    he did it somewhere?
[19:29] Teshigawara
    That's gotta be it.
[19:31] Teshigawara
    So, I'm thinking we should talk
    to this Matsunaga guy ourselves.
[19:37] Kouichi
    Do you know where we can find him?
[19:40] Tomoka
    No, I don't know where he lives.
[19:43] Kouichi
    Then...
[19:45] Izumi
    Don't you know someone who
    was in Matsunaga's class?
[19:55] Mei
    Oh, so he was your aunt's classmate.
[19:59] Kouichi
    If I find out where Matsunaga is,
[20:03] Kouichi
    will you come with me to see him?
[20:11] Kouichi
    You really were the model
    for that doll, weren't you?
[20:15] Kouichi
    You said only half,
    but it looks just like you.
[20:18] Mei
    This girl is the daughter she
    gave birth to 12 years ago.
[20:23] Kouichi
    Your sister?
[20:25] Mei
    But she was stillborn.
[20:31] Mei
    She made this doll based on
[20:33] Mei
    the daughter who never
    had a chance to live.
[20:37] Mei
    So it's only half me, if not less.
[20:43] Mei
    Actually, I have somewhere
    to be tomorrow.
[20:48] Kouichi
    Oh? Where?
[20:49] Mei
    My parents want me
[20:51] Mei
    to go with them to their summer house.
[20:54] Mei
    I couldn't tell them I don't want to.
[20:57] Kouichi
    Is it outside Yomiyama?
[20:59] Mei
    Yes.
[21:00] Kouichi
    So you're leaving town?
[21:03] Mei
    We'll only be gone a week.
[21:06] Mei
    I'll be back for the class trip.
[21:09] Kouichi
    Oh...
[21:17] Mei
    Hey, have you found that ghost picture
[21:19] Mei
    your mother left
    at her parents' house?
[21:22] Kouichi
    No, not yet.
[21:24] Mei
    If you find it, will you show me?
[21:27] Kouichi
    Sure.
[21:33] Mei
    If anything comes up, use this number.
[21:38] Kouichi
    Is this a phone number?
[21:41] Kouichi
    For a cell phone?
[21:42] Mei
    Yes.
[21:43] Kouichi
    Yours?
[21:44] Mei
    Yes.
[21:45] Kouichi
    You said you hated those devices.
[21:47] Mei
    I do.
[21:49] Mei
    Being connected to people all the time
    by electromagnetic waves disturbs me.
[21:54] Kouichi
    Then why do you have one?
[21:55] Mei
    She makes me carry it.
[21:57] Mei
    She claims to feel uneasy at times.
[22:02] Kouichi
    I see.
[22:05] Mei
    By the way...
[22:07] Kouichi
    Yes?
[22:08] Mei
    You said you wondered if
    it's you who's dead.
[22:12] Kouichi
    Yeah.
[22:13] Mei
    Has your suspicion been laid to rest?
[22:15] Kouichi
    Yeah.
[22:30] Kouichi
    Huh?
[22:31] Mei
    New dolls are put in here.
[22:48] Mei
    Don't worry.
[22:50] Mei
    It's not you.
[22:53] Mei
    You're not the one who's dead.
[24:38] Kouichi
    Hair stand.
