[03:34] I
This means that only we've seen it, right?
[03:38] I
Well, it has only been 24 hours
since we upped it...
[03:41] I
Hey, are you listening?
[03:44] T
Yeah.
[03:45] I
Do these stickers really
make you feel that sick?
[03:48] T
Of course they do.
[03:49] T
But, you know, when I look at them again...
[03:53] I
Did you find something?
[03:55] T
Yeah. Compare the stickers that were
put up around town before
[03:59] T
to the ones that were put up
along this wall on the 2nd of this month.
[04:03] T
And the ones at the crime scenes, too.
[04:08] O
What? What's wrong?
[04:09] I
The design's different.
[04:11] T
Yes. The Sumo Stickers have
lots of different designs.
[04:15] T
This often happens because of copycats,
[04:19] T
but, in this case, the Sumo Stickers
found at the crime scene
[04:24] T
and along that wall match exactly.
[04:26] I
Then the same person put them up
on the wall and at the crime scenes?
[04:31] T
No, we don't know that.
[04:33] T
Some of the random Sumo Stickers
put up around town
[04:36] T
also have the exact same design.
[04:39] I
What? That means...
[04:41] T
But what's interesting is that never before
have so many been put up in one spot.
[04:45] T
If it is the same person,
[04:48] T
there's a chance that the next incident
will take place by this wall.
[04:52] T
And if we can get video of it, it'll be...
[04:55] I
It'll go way beyond a "big scoop," huh?
[04:59] T
Yeah.
[05:00] I
But do we really want to do this?
[05:01] T
Do what?
[05:03] I
We're basically putting up
a spy camera, right?
[05:04] I
We can't pass that off as a club activity.
[05:07] T
Don't start talking like Kurusu.
[05:09] I
But if we get caught...
[05:11] T
It'll be fine.
[05:12] T
She hasn't been hassling me
lately for some reason.
[05:15] T
And it's not just us and the police
who are investigating this.
[05:20] T
Whoever took the video that was up
on that aggregator site about the case
[05:23] T
has to be after it, too.
[05:26] T
This is our chance.
[05:26] Background
Go! Go! Hana-chan!
[05:27] T
In the best-case scenario, we get a lead
on the killer before anybody else.
[05:32] T
And the worst that can happen
is that we waste our time.

Looking good! You can do it!

I've heard the newspaper club is
investigating a dangerous case.
[06:05] T
It's not dangerous.
[06:06] Gu
Whatever. I don't care what you do.
[06:10] Gu
But this cultural festival is the first one
with all three grades taking part.
[06:14] Gu
And Kurusu's carrying the heaviest load,
since she's student council president.
[06:18] Gu
Just don't make her life harder.
[06:23] A
No way!
[06:24] A
First I'm hearing of it!
[06:26] A
So how'd you meet?
[06:28] Gi
It's not a very interesting story.
[06:30] A
So, how'd you meet?
[06:33] Gi
It got started when I retweeted
a meme he liked...
[06:38] A
So you planned it all out.
[06:40] Gi
No, I didn't do it deliberately.
[06:43] Gi
It was just a coincidence.
[06:48] A
Sorry.
[06:49] A
I've got somewhere to be.
[06:51] A
Can you guys do the shopping for me?
[06:53] Gi
Sure.
[06:54] Gi
Got it.
[06:55] Gi
I'll be in touch later.
[06:57] A
Adios gracias!
[07:00] O
Taku!
[07:04] A
Why would you show up at school?
Are you insane?
[07:07] S
Sorry, but it's a lot of work for me
to find any free time at all.
[07:12] S
I didn't tell anyone I was a detective,
so cut me some slack.
[07:15] A
That's not what I'm talking about!
[07:17] S
You're on conditional release.
[07:20] S
You know that, right?
[07:21] A
Can we go somewhere else?
[07:24] A
I assume you're not here for something
we can discuss with other students around.
[07:31] Gi
Welcome.
[07:32] Gi
Sit where you like.
[07:35] S
Is this a place
Hekihou students don't frequent?
[07:39] A
I think so.
[07:42] Gi
Take your time.
[07:44] S
Thanks.
[07:45] A
So what's this about?
[07:47] A
I'm showing up to questioning, aren't I?
[07:52] S
I just noticed earlier,
[07:53] S
but you act a lot differently
at school, don't you?
[08:00] S
I'm told that you're not remaining silent
during questioning anymore,
[08:04] S
but you're remaining entirely
flat and unemotional.
[08:13] S
"Hinae Arimura, Class 2-3.
[08:16] S
Age 16. Enrolled at Hekihou Academy in 2014.
[08:20] S
Has lots of friends,
and boasts a bright and social personality.
[08:24] S
Grades are average.
[08:26] S
No record of police arrests,
[08:28] S
or of causing any problems with the school."
[08:31] S
This is what the school gave us about you.
[08:34] S
Except for this, and a simple
profile we made about you,
[08:37] S
we don't know anything about the case.
[08:40] S
I mean, all you tell us is that
you don't remember anything.
[08:41] Background
Orange juice and gapao rice.
[08:44] S
Can you at least be a little more sociable,
like you are at Hekihou?
[08:46] Background
Understood. Wait just a moment.
[08:48] S
The police are doing everything
we can to solve the case.
[08:51] A
That's a lie!
[08:54] S
You're right.
[08:55] S
Sorry.
[08:57] S
I, and the people helping me, are doing
everything we can to solve the case.
[09:01] S
At the very least, we're not your enemies.
[09:05] A
I'm not trying to be uncooperative
during questioning.
[09:10] A
It's just that I can't answer you.
[09:13] A
I really have no memory of what happened
in the time surrounding the incident.
[09:16] S
Is there anything else you can tell us, then?
[09:20] S
For instance, your relationship with
Hironobu Kakita, the murdered man?
[09:24] O
Taku?
[09:25] T
Did he say "murdered"?
[09:27] T
The police said that the love hotel incident,
Revolving Dead, was a suicide.
[09:32] A
By "we," you mean yourself and
those other people, right?
[09:37] S
Yes. The police have nothing to do with it.
[09:40] T
"We"? "The police have
nothing to do with it"?
[09:44] A
Kakita-san and I were cooperating.
[09:47] T
On that thing?
[09:50] A
Of course.
[09:52] A
Every now and then, we'd meet at
places that gave us some privacy
[09:54] A
and exchange information.
[09:57] S
I see.
[09:58] S
Then his ability...
[10:00] S
Excuse me.
[10:01] S
Yes, this is Shinjou.
[10:03] S
Yes. Yes.
[10:07] S
Got it.
[10:08] S
I'll be back in ten.
[10:09] S
Get started.
[10:13] S
Oh, right, one more thing.
[10:16] S
Seen this before?
[10:19] S
What's wrong?
[10:20] A
I know about that thing.
[10:22] A
But I don't like that sticker.
[10:25] T
Did she say "sticker"?
[10:27] S
You're aware that a video
of the hotel crime scene
[10:29] S
was uploaded to the internet, right?
[10:32] S
While we still don't have
any leads on who did it,
[10:34] S
we did find this sticker put up where
we believe the camera was filming from.
[10:40] T
It can't be...
[10:41] S
Do you know anything about this?
[10:44] A
Not much.
[10:45] A
Just that it's a creepy sticker.
[10:48] A
It's all over town.
[10:51] A
Now put that thing away.
[10:52] S
Sounds right. I can't imagine something
like this being related to the case.
[10:56] S
Arimura-kun, try to be more cooperative
with the questioning at the station.
[11:02] A
Like I said, there's nothing I can tell them.
[11:06] S
You don't have to tell them anything.
[11:07] S
But some of the bosses aren't happy
about your conditional release.
[11:12] S
There are ties of obligation here.
[11:15] O
Taku?
[11:16] S
With as much energy as you have at
Hekihou, it should be easy, right?
[11:20] A
Just so you know,
[11:21] A
it's pretty hard for a high school girl
to be a high school girl these days.

Mio-chan is our information broker.
[13:35] Gi
Though she's really a scientist.
[13:38] S
At her age?
[13:39] Gi
Indeed.
[13:40] Gi
She's a genius who skipped grades and
became a researcher at an American lab.
[13:44] K
I'm really only a good student.
[13:46] K
A real genius is much more.
[13:49] S
What do you research, Kunosato-san?
[13:52] K
Does my profile have anything
to do with the case?

What did Arimura have to say
about the Sumo Stickers?
[14:09] S
She just seemed to find them creepy.
[14:11] K
Are you sure?
[14:13] S
Yeah.
[14:13] S
Why are you so focused on that?
[14:15] S
Oh, you were just saying something
about the stickers, too.
[14:19] S
What was that about?
[14:21] K
I told you I was sharing information.
[14:25] Gi
Why not give him a real explanation?
[14:27] Gi
You'll be working with Shinjou-chan
until the case is solved.
[14:32] Gi
It's give and take, right?
[14:34] K
I just hope he's got something to give me.
[14:38] S
Kunosato-san, couldn't you show
your elders a little more respect?
[14:41] K
Are you aware of the media consumption
rates that were announced this year?
[14:46] K
70 percent of consumers use the internet.
[14:49] K
For consumers in their teens,
it's 80 percent,
[14:50] K
and in their twenties and thirties,
it's 90 percent.
[14:54] K
Both of these consumption rates
are higher than TV's.
[14:57] K
The rates are even higher in urban areas.
[14:59] K
Less than ten percent of people in their
teens and twenties read a daily newspaper.
[15:04] K
It wasn't that different last year,
or the year before.
[15:07] K
Over half of all middle schoolers
have a smartphone.
[15:10] K
For high schoolers and older,
it's ninety-five percent.
[15:13] K
And owning a smartphone
means using the internet.
[15:17] S
Wait, what are you talking about?
[15:18] K
Do you know how many people use the internet
as their primary source of information?
[15:24] K
It's a large number.
[15:26] K
They believe what they see on the internet
and base their actions off of it.
[15:30] K
Even if that information
turns out to be incorrect.
[15:34] K
And it's also possible to use that
to spur them to action.
[15:39] Gi
Shinjou-chan, she's accomplished
a lot doing that.
[15:43] S
Has she?
[15:45] K
What I want now is information
about the Sumo Stickers.
[15:49] S

[15:52] K
They're pretty sharp.
[15:54] K
When I have the opportunity
to use them, I'm going to.

What do you mean?
[15:59] K
It's simple.

[18:02] O
Taku?
[18:03] I
Want to go tonight?
[18:05] T
No, there might be other clues
in the comments.
[18:09] T
And, if we are to sneak in,
we'll need detailed info on the hospital.
[18:13] I
You're right.
[18:14] I
Okay, I'll look into the hospital.
[18:17] T
Yeah, thanks.
[18:22] Gu
By the way, Yuuto, Yui was saying you got...
[18:25] Gi
A letter!
[18:26] Gi
What happened?
[18:27] Gi
It was a love letter, right?
SIGN Masashi Kawahara
SIGN Sorry to email you this late. The newspaper club has put up a video camera under the bridge near Shibuya Station and are videotaping people without their consent. I don't know what they're trying to do, but lately Miyashiro and the others have been out of control. I'm going to tell the teachers and have them take it down tomorrow. Can you talk to them too, Kurusu? Thanks.
[18:30] Gi
No secrets, remember?
[18:32] Gi
Right, Big Sis Nono?
[18:34] K
That's right, Yuuto.
[18:35] K
No secrets allowed in this house!
[18:38] Gi
So how'd it go?
[18:41] Gi
Well? Well?
[18:42] Gu
Tokuda-kun...
[18:45] Gu
Tokuda-kun found out.
[18:48] Gu
And...
[18:49] Gi
What? He made fun of you?
[18:51] Gu
Yeah.
[18:53] Gi
Yuu, when something's bothering you,
you need to say so.
[18:57] Gi
If you get used to that,
[18:58] Gi
it changes you in bad ways
without you realizing it!
[19:01] Gu
Yeah.
[19:02] K
Yuu—
[19:02] Gi
If someone bullies you again, tell me, okay?
[19:07] Gi
I'll get them back!
[19:17] K
Who is it?
[19:18] Gu
Me. I'm coming in.
[19:22] K
What's wrong?
[19:23] Gu
You were acting a little weird today.
[19:26] K
Was I?
[19:27] Gu
Did Takuru do something again?
[19:32] K
No, it's more like he might be about to.
[19:35] Gu
He never changes.
[19:37] Gu
You told him to cut it out
after the police took him in
[19:40] Gu
over the love hotel thing, right?
[19:42] K
Yeah, but he doesn't look like
he's going to stop.
[19:47] Gu
It's rare for him to disobey you.
[19:51] K
Dad, how did he open up to us?
[19:56] K
You remember, right?
[19:56] K
When he first woke up from his coma
and started his physical therapy,
[20:00] K
he didn't open up to us at all, right?
[20:02] Gu
Yui and Yuuto were like that, too.
[20:05] Gu
And so were you, just so we're clear.
[20:07] K
We're not talking about me here!
[20:10] Gu
It was so long ago, I don't remember.
[20:13] Gu
Is there ever really a single
cause for that stuff?
[20:18] Gu
I don't know when he opened up to us,
[20:21] Gu
but I do remember the first time
he ate dinner with us.
[20:24] K
I remember that, too.
[20:26] K
Why was that, again?
[20:29] Gu
I think it was when you got mad at him.
[20:32] (Flashback) K
He said he didn't go to
elementary school a lot,
[20:36] (Flashback) K
but I'll make it so he can.
[20:38] (Flashback) K
If anyone tries to bully him,
[20:42] (Flashback) K
I'll get them back!
[20:45] K
You're kidding!
[20:46] Gu
It's true.
[20:47] Gu
Yui just said that too, right?
[20:49] Gu
She clearly got that from the old you.
[20:53] Gu
Anyway, he overheard that outside the room.
[20:58] Gu
And, from that night on,
[21:00] Gu
he started eating with us.
[21:04] K
Did I say that?
[21:07] Gi
Big Sis Nono?
[21:09] Gi
What are you doing?
[21:11] Gu
What are you two doing?
[21:13] Gi
Yuu had to go to the bathroom.
[21:15] Gi
And then we heard you.
[21:17] K
I see.
[21:19] K
Hey, do you two want Takuru to come back?
[21:22] Gu
Yup.
[21:22] Gi
Of course!
[21:23] Gi
We're family!
[21:24] Gi
And it's me and Yuu who
are doing all the cleaning
[21:28] Gi
he's supposed to do!
[21:30] Gi
He needs to pay us back.
[21:32] Gu
We're doing the shopping, too.
[21:35] Gi
That's right! I forgot that!
[21:37] K
Yui...
[21:38] K
If anybody bullies Yuuto,
[21:40] K
get them back!
[21:43] Gi
Y-Yeah, of course.
