SIGN    Episode 6
    "Brothers and Sisters"
[01:36] MOGURA
    It's dangerous to dwell on your
    emotions in isolation.
[01:39] MOGURA
    It makes them fester.
[01:41] MOGURA
    That's one of the ways
    an evil spirit is created.
[01:44] MOGURA
    She inhabited a small world,
    interacting and speaking with no one—
[01:47] MOGURA
    in this case, shackled by her family.
[01:50] MOGURA
    Evil spirits are people whose
    emotions were allowed to fester!
[01:55] NURSE
    Hey, wait! You can't go in there!
[01:58] UMEHARU
    I'll talk to her!
[01:59] MOGURA
    Thanks, little brother!
[02:04] MOGURA
    I don't know which room they're in.
[02:05] MAGI
    Idiot!
[02:06] MOGURA
    This hospital is huge. Where are they?
[02:08] MOGURA
    Also, there are a ton of spirits.
SIGN    Vwip
[02:17] MOGURA
    Could it be?
[02:19] MOGURA
    Is this coward performing a threat display
    in the direction of "something scary"?
[02:23] MOGURA
    Wow, he's like Kitaro's yokai antenna!
[02:26] MAGI/ID
    Even cowards are useful sometimes.
[02:29] MOGURA
    He's like Bubbles from the Michael
    Jackson Mega Drive game.
[02:33] MOGURA
    I played it a ton when they
    had it at the candy shop.
[02:35] MAGI
    I have no idea what you're trying to say!
[02:41] MAYA
    Time to die, old man!
SIGN    Shrieeek
SIGN    Shrieeek
[02:47] MAYA
    Who the hell are you?
[02:49] MOGURA
    If you do that, you'll be sent to Hell!
[02:52] MOGURA
    I've seen lots of spirits like you!
[02:54] MOGURA
    Did you know?
[02:56] MOGURA
    Unlike in this world, trials in the afterlife
    are fiercely impartial and harsh!
[03:00] MAYA
    So what?!
[03:02] MAYA
    I'm gonna teach him a lesson
    for treating us like nothing!
[03:07] MOGURA
    Magi, I bet you think it'd be quickest to have
    one of the Nekozuku cats eat this spirit.
[03:13] MOGURA
    Well, so do I.
[03:16] MOGURA
    I try to think that way.
[03:18] MOGURA
    But I find that hard to swallow,
    especially after hearing what happened!
[03:23] MOGURA
    Plus, there's something the
    Nekozuku family can't do!
[03:27] MOGURA
    And that's this!
[03:43] MAYA
    Why?
[03:44] MAYA
    He's getting better.
[03:50] MAYA
    Damn!
[03:51] MAYA
    Damn, damn, damn!
[03:52] MAYA
    What did you do?!
[03:54] MOGURA
    Listen, miss.
[03:55] MOGURA
    This guy's probably not as
    mentally strong as you think.
[03:59] MOGURA
    He's probably emotionally destroyed right now.
[04:02] MOGURA
    He'll have to live another decade-plus
     after experiencing that.
[04:06] MOGURA
    That's hell. It's enough.
[04:08] MAYA
    Will that save Miya?
[04:10] MOGURA
    No!
[04:11] MOGURA
    Whether he lives or dies, it won't save her!
[04:14] MOGURA
    He may be the one who started it,
[04:15] MOGURA
    but now there are all kinds
    of things feeding into it!
[04:19] MOGURA
    There's nothing you or I
    can do about your sister.
[04:22] MOGURA
    I'm sorry about that!
[04:24] MOGURA
    I just want to give you one
    less reason to go to Hell.
[04:27] MOGURA
    That's all I can do!
[04:29] MOGURA
    I can't interfere between
    you sisters or your family.
[04:33] MOGURA
    Besides, I just met your little sister.
[04:36] MOGURA
    But I won't let someone who's trying
    to save a person become a bad guy!
[04:40] MOGURA
    I won't stand for it,
[04:42] MOGURA
    even though it's one of the
    world's unsolvable problems!
[04:45] MAGI/ID
    In that moment, I understood why
    he's never gathered enough flames.
[04:49] MAGI/ID
    At the same time, I wondered
    what he was projecting.
[04:53] MIYA
    Sis?
[04:56] MIYA
    It looks just like her.
[05:01] MAYA
    Miya.
SIGN    Office
[05:03] UMEHARU
    I got in so much trouble.
[05:05] UMEHARU
    That nurse was cute, though.
[05:07] YAEKO
    Thank you, little brother panda—
    I mean, Ume-chan.
[05:11] YAEKO
    I hope they're okay.
[05:14] YAEKO
    Oh, Mogura-san's not a bad guy or anything.
[05:18] UMEHARU
    It's okay. I know.
[05:20] UMEHARU
    Despite how he seems, my brother's
    a good judge of character.
[05:23] UMEHARU
    He wouldn't bring over anyone really bad.
[05:26] UMEHARU
    My brother's surprisingly bad
    at managing his relationships.
[05:29] UMEHARU
    He tends to get dragged into things.
[05:31] YAEKO
    I know what you mean.
[05:32] UMEHARU
    I'm good at relationships, so I know when
    to stick my nose into people's business.
[05:36] UMEHARU
    That's why I don't mind talking to girls.
    If anything, I enjoy it.
[05:40] UMEHARU
    People often say my brother's awkward
    while I'm not, but it's not like that.
[05:41] OLDER WOMAN
    You've grown so much.
[05:47] UMEHARU
    Unlike me, he gets involved in situations
    that don't benefit or hurt him,
[05:52] UMEHARU
    so it seems like he makes a lot of mistakes.
[05:54] UMEHARU
    He's actually just stupid.
[05:56] UMEHARU
    There's a part of me that envies him,
    but I also get annoyed watching him.
[06:01] YAEKO
    Your brother's got a lot more baggage
    about you than you do about him.
[06:04] UMEHARU
    I know.
[06:05] UMEHARU
    Oh, don't tell my brother I said that.
[06:08] UMEHARU
    By the way, that Mogura guy's
    clothes are pretty ratty.
[06:11] UMEHARU
    Is he okay?
[06:12] YAEKO
    Uh, yeah.
[06:15] UMEHARU
    I saw someone like him a long time ago.
[06:20] (Flashback) BOY A
    Ume!
[06:21] (Flashback) GIRL A
    Umeboshi!
[06:23] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI
    Hey!
[06:26] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI
    What'd my little brother do?
[06:27] (Flashback) GIRL A
    Your brother always plays with
    girls, even though he's a boy.
[06:32] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI
    Explain to me exactly what's wrong with that.
[06:36] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI
    If you can't, then you're just being bullies!
[06:39] UMEHARU
    Now that I think about it, he was always a
    pedant who spoke before his brain caught up.
[06:44] YAEKO
    Yeah, I can picture that.
[06:46] UMEHARU
    He'd always end up crying, though.
[06:49] YAEKO
    I can picture that too.
SIGN    Animal Candies
[06:58] (Flashback) MOGURA
    You're awesome!
SIGN    Animal Candies
    Per Candy ¥500~1000
[07:02] (Flashback) MOGURA
    I present you with the First Order of Merit.
[07:04] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Here you go.
[07:05] (Flashback) MOGURA
    I made those.
[07:07] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Tell me how great they are.
[07:09] (Flashback) CHILD MAGI
    Uh, they're very good.
[07:11] (Flashback) CHILD UMEHARU
    Thank you.
[07:13] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Look at me, kids!
[07:15] (Flashback) MOGURA
    There are adults like me out there.
[07:17] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Who cares about decency? Just smile.
[07:21] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Let the devil take those lame kids.
[07:24] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Hang in there, but don't strain yourselves.
[07:27] UMEHARU
    That guy's clothes were ratty, too.
[07:30] UMEHARU
    I suddenly remembered him.
[07:32] UMEHARU
    Now that I think about it, it was sketchy
    to accept candy from a stranger.
[07:36] UMEHARU
    Oh, sorry. There's no point to that story.
[07:39] YAEKO
    I think the point is it's a good
    thing you had your brother.
[07:43] MIYA
    Is that you, Sister? It is, isn't it?
[07:46] MAYA
    Miya? You can see me?
[07:49] MIYA
    It is you. You really are beautiful.
[07:52] MIYA
    I wish I were beautiful, too.
[07:54] MIYA
    How can I be beautiful like you?
[07:58] MAGI
    You can't.
[07:59] MAGI
    You don't need to be beautiful anyway.
[08:01] MAGI
    That's just lip service, though.
[08:03] MOGURA
    That's right.
[08:04] MOGURA
    Also, I hate to say it,
    but I can't bring back the dead.
[08:09] MOGURA
    You should head to the afterlife on your
    own before someone comes looking for you.
[08:13] MOGURA
    Act like you just got lost or something.
[08:16] MOGURA
    Your uncle can't cause any
    harm for now, so hurry.
[08:21] MIYA
    Harm?
[08:22] MIYA
    Oh, I get it.
[08:24] MIYA
    You spooked our uncle to
    give him an earful, right?
[08:27] MIYA
    That's why he's making that face.
[08:30] MIYA
    Thanks.
[08:31] MIYA
    That was laughably cruel.
[08:36] MAYA
    Yeah.
[08:38] MAYA
    It was.
[08:39] MIYA
    By the way, Uncle, should you be up?
[08:43] MIYA
    Should I go get the doctor?
[08:44] MAGI
    What? The doctor's coming?
[08:47] MIYA
    What?
[08:48] MOGURA
    Uh, you know,
[08:49] MOGURA
    hang in there, but don't strain yourselves!
[08:51] MAGI
    This is bad! We should go!
[08:51] MOGURA
    Don't go too crazy over your family either!
[08:52] MIYA
    Seriously, who are you?
[08:54] UMEHARU
    What? Bro, you're leaving?
[08:55] MIYA
    What? Ume-chan?
[08:58] MIYA
    Who was that guy?
[09:00] MIYA
    Huh?
[09:03] MIYA
    Sis?
[09:07] UNCLE
    Miya, I want to apologize.
[09:09] MIYA
    What?
[09:11] MIYA
    Apologize for what?
[09:13] UNCLE
    I can't remember.
[09:15] UNCLE
    I just know I want to apologize.
[09:17] MIYA
    What's the point if you don't know what for?
[09:22] MIYA
    Uncle, I said a lot of
    things to the boy I like.
[09:27] MIYA
    It's different when
    you say it out loud, huh?
[09:30] MIYA
    He might not like me anymore.
[09:32] MIYA
    What's this doll doing here, anyway?
[09:36] MIYA
    You know, this doll...
[09:39] MIYA
    You're Mom's older brother, right?
[09:41] MIYA
    Could you convince her to
    put this doll to rest?
[09:46] MIYA
    She has to someday.
[09:50] MIYA
    She can't stay that way forever.
[10:05] SHIO
    Senpai, are you heading home this way, too?
[10:10] SHIO
    Oh, right. What's your astrological sign?
[10:13] KYOSHIRO
    Leo.
[10:14] SHIO
    This week's advice for Leo is...
[10:16] SHIO
    "Watch out for interpersonal issues!"
[10:19] KYOSHIRO
    Is that a horoscope?
[10:21] KYOSHIRO
    I don't like horoscopes.
[10:23] SHIO
    But they're fun.
[10:25] KYOSHIRO
    To be precise, I don't like people
    who get too invested in horoscopes.
[10:28] SHIO
    It's just for fun.
[10:31] SHIO
    And invested?
[10:32] SHIO
    Are there people who take this seriously?
[10:35] SHIO
    Are there actually people who base all
    their important decisions on horoscopes?
[10:40] SHIO
    People in my family ask their muscles first.
[10:43] SHIO
    Pump that iron!
[10:45] KYOSHIRO
    There are.
[10:47] KYOSHIRO
    What does asking your muscles mean, anyway?
[10:49] KYOSHIRO
    That sounds way more unusual.
[10:51] SHIO
    Uh-oh. Leos have the worst luck this week.
[10:53] KYOSHIRO
    I don't like horoscopes because
    they make people say that stuff.
[10:56] SHIO
    You'll be okay as long as
    you wear something black.
[11:00] KYOSHIRO
    Then I've got it handled. Nabeshima's black.
[11:02] SHIO
    Sounds like you take horoscopes
    pretty seriously.
[11:05] KYOSHIRO
    Horoscopes are scarier when they're right.
[11:09] KYOSHIRO
    Later.
[11:10] SHIO
    Oh, okay.
SIGN    Nekozuku
[11:19] SHIO
    What? This place is an ordinary family home?
[11:23] SHIO
    I thought it was the headquarters for
    some organization or a rice granary.
[11:28] SHIO
    Your house belongs in a bishojo
    horror-themed porn game.
[11:33] KYOSHIRO
    What are you talking about?
[11:36] MOGURA
    Hey, welcome back.
[11:38] MOGURA
    Hey, Shio-chan.
[11:39] MOGURA
    I see you're possessed again.
    Give me some flames.
[11:42] MOGURA
    Why don't you stop in?
[11:44] MOGURA
    You can have some rich people tea snacks.
[11:47] KYOSHIRO
    Do you know what "restraint" means?
[11:49] MOGURA
    And normal spirits stay away since
    they can tell bakeneko live here.
[11:55] MOGURA
    It's nice and quiet.
[11:56] MOGURA
    You can enjoy not being possessed for once.
[12:00] SHIO
    So it's a house with a protective barrier? Cool!
[12:04] KYOSHIRO
    It's not, but I guess you
    can think of it that way.
[12:07] (Flashback) WOMAN SPIRIT
    Wow, sonny. You can even solve
    this difficult problem?
[12:11] KYOSHIRO
    While I'm at home, I don't get exhausted
    by spirits interfering with my life.
[12:16] KYOSHIRO
    Our family needs a place to relax.
[12:19] KYOSHIRO
    Which is why you two should leave.
[12:21] KYOKO
    Oh.
[12:23] KYOKO
    Kyo-chan, is this your friend?
[12:25] SHIO
    I'm Inukai Shio.
[12:27] SHIO
    Are you a master of barriers
    and Senpai's master?
[12:31] KYOKO
    No, I'm his mother, Nekozuku Kyoko.
[12:34] KYOKO
    Are you the girl who rescued my
    son at the hundred yen shop?
[12:47] KYOKO
    Shio-chan, do you like cake?!
[12:49] SHIO
    I love cake!
[12:53] SHIO/ID
    Did she just pause for a second?
[12:56] SHIO/ID
    It's like she was looking off into space.
[12:58] KYOKO
    Would you like to stay for some cake?
[13:01] KYOKO
    I just baked one.
[13:02] SHIO
    Yes, I'll have cake!
SIGN    Hooray
[13:04] MOGURA
    Let's get down to business, Kyo-chan.
[13:07] SHIO
    This house is so nice!
[13:09] KYOSHIRO
    My safe space is falling apart.
[13:11] MOGURA
    Are you listening, Kyo-chan?
[13:13] MOGURA
    Hey. So, anyway...
[13:16] KYOSHIRO
    Shut up! Be quiet!
[13:19] TOSHIRO
    We owe him our lives.
[13:20] TOSHIRO
    The agreement demands that you put up with him.
[13:23] TOSHIRO
    After all, Oshiro-jiisan said
    we'd do anything for him.
[13:27] KYOSHIRO
    There has to be a limit!
[13:28] KYOSHIRO
    I don't live to be harassed by him!
[13:31] KYOSHIRO
    What's he doing here, anyway?!
[13:33] MOGURA
    I didn't know Toshiro wrote fantasy novels.
[13:36] MOGURA
    I wanna read 'em. Let me read 'em.
SIGN    Examination of Children's Literature
[13:39] MOGURA
    I'll tell you all my thoughts on 'em.
[13:40] TOSHIRO
    This is why I didn't want to tell you.
[13:43] MOGURA
    C'mon, let me read 'em. I got nothing but time.
[13:46] TOSHIRO
    How do you have time when you're broke?
[13:48] MOGURA
    It's because I'm broke.
[13:50] MOGURA
    Oh, I know.
[13:51] MOGURA
    I'll tell you about how I think
    Tanaka-san's wife might be cheating.
[13:55] KYOSHIRO
    I couldn't care less.
[13:57] KYOKO
    I'd like to hear about Tanaka-san!
[13:59] KYOSHIRO
    Don't express interest!
[14:00] MOGURA
    C'mon, Toshiro.
[14:03] MOGURA
    Teach your son to have more respect for me.
[14:08] TOSHIRO
    You'll have to forgive me. After all...
[14:11] TOSHIRO
    I can't help but adore my darling son.
[14:13] MOGURA
    You doting father!
[14:14] KYOKO
    Kyo-chan!
[14:16] KYOKO
    Who's a good boy? You are!
[14:17] MOGURA
    And doting mother!
[14:19] KYOSHIRO
    I have entrance exams!
[14:21] KYOSHIRO
    Shouldn't you be telling me to study?
[14:23] KYOKO
    You have nothing to worry about, Kyo-chan. You could get in anywhere.
[14:27] MOGURA
    Entrance exams, huh? I'd like to try that.
SIGN    You Are Here
[14:31] MOGURA
    Say, how much property tax
    do you pay on this place?
[14:34] TOSHIRO
    That's a drastic change of subject.
[14:35] MOGURA
    How much do you write off as office space?
[14:37] MOGURA
    Supposing the main house
    is your business office,
SIGN    You Are Here
[14:40] MOGURA
    do you treat your room in the
    annex as a writing office, too?
[14:44] MOGURA
    Either way, you must have
    a good tax accountant.
[14:47] TOSHIRO
    That's quite the analysis of someone
    else's financial situation.
[14:51] KYOKO
    Here you are, Toshiro-san.
[14:53] SHIO/ID
    His mom and dad are so young.
[14:56] SHIO/ID
    Now that I get a better look at his
    dad, he looks just like Senpai.
[15:13] SHIO
    Why do you have such a weird hairstyle, Senpai?
[15:16] SHIO
    You need a salon, stat!
[15:17] KYOSHIRO
    No! I hate salons!
[15:19] KYOSHIRO
    I can see all the ghosts in
    the mirror! It's annoying!
[15:22] KYOSHIRO
    And I don't like people touching my hair!
[15:24] KYOKO
    That's right. Kyo-chan cuts his own hair.
[15:28] SHIO
    But you look just like your dad!
[15:30] KYOKO
    I know!
[15:31] SHIO
    Right?
[15:32] KYOKO
    Yes!
[15:33] SHIO
    Ma'am, you must really love your husband.
[15:36] KYOKO
    I do.
[15:37] KYOKO
    I want Toshiro-san to shower me
    with attention for my whole life.
SIGN    Attention,
     please
[15:41] KYOKO
    Of course, there are days when he can't!
[15:43] KYOKO
    And I treat those as some kind of kink!
[15:46] KYOKO
    It's actually pretty fun!
[15:47] SHIO
    Oh, she's crazy.
[15:49] KYOSHIRO
    I know you're my mother, but why
    can't you be sane all the time?
[15:53] KYOKO
    I can't help it!
[15:55] KYOKO
    Who could stay sane married to this man?
[15:59] KYOKO
    Am I right?!
[16:00] KYOKO
    I ask all the healthy hags in the world!
[16:03] KYOKO
    Have you ever seen such
    a captivating professor?
[16:05] KYOKO
    Where? At Sexy University?
[16:07] KYOSHIRO
    Shut up!
[16:08] KYOKO
    Doesn't it just make you want to enjoy life?
[16:11] KYOKO
    I turn 37 this year. Every day is so much fun.
[16:14] KYOKO
    Hooray!
[16:14] KYOSHIRO
    Calm down, 37-year-old!
[16:16] SHIO
    It's great that your mom's so energetic.
[16:19] KYOKO
    That's right. I'm always full of life.
[16:22] KYOKO
    And Toshiro-san understands what it's
    like to see things others don't.
[16:27] SHIO
    Ma'am, you can see spirits, too?
[16:30] TOSHIRO
    Well, Kyoko is, uh...
[16:33] TOSHIRO
    Actually, don't worry about it.
[16:40] SAKURAKO
    Kyoko-san, Kyoko-san!
[16:41] SAKURAKO
    Hello. Please...
[16:43] SAKURAKO
    Tell me my fortune!
[16:45] SAKURAKO
    Anyway, Kyoko-san, I've had
    terrible luck this week.
[16:49] SAKURAKO
    I broke a plate, I stubbed my
    pinkie toe, my flowers wilted,
[16:53] SAKURAKO
    and I've been having terrible headaches.
[16:56] SAKURAKO
    I must be stuck with some terrible luck again.
[16:59] SAKURAKO
    This always happens.
[17:00] SAKURAKO
    I'd like you to tell me my fortune again.
[17:03] SAKURAKO
    I'm begging you. Please help me!
[17:06] MOGURA
    Fortune-telling, huh?
[17:09] MOGURA
    Hey, my life line's short! What's up with that?
[17:12] KYOSHIRO
    Don't ask me.
[17:14] MOGURA
    That's Konosaka Sakurako-san.
[17:16] MOGURA
    Her husband's an executive at a foreign company,
[17:18] MOGURA
    and they've got two kids in
    private boarding schools.
[17:21] MOGURA
    She's what people used to call
    a lady from a good family.
[17:24] MOGURA
    She's also neighbors with
    Tanaka-san the cheater.
[17:27] KYOSHIRO
    Where'd you get that information?
[17:30] MOGURA
    You can learn most things from Yoshida-san,
    the cashier at Supermarket Miyajima.
SIGN    Speaker Yoshida
[17:35] KYOSHIRO
    Seriously? Yoshida-san's crazy.
[17:37] SAKURAKO
    It's so encouraging, since you also
    have high school-aged children.
[17:41] SAKURAKO
    You're incredible.
[17:42] SAKURAKO
    Please help me.
[17:45] KYOKO
    I've told you countless times, Sakurako-san,
[17:47] KYOKO
    but I can't tell fortunes.
[17:50] KYOKO
    I just see strange things.
SIGN    Eye
SIGN    Flip it around, and it's a cat's eye
SIGN    The eye of Horus sees all
SIGN    Or is it Kassandra of Troy?
[17:59] SHIO
    See strange things? Like what?
[18:02] KYOSHIRO
    How should I put it?
[18:04] KYOSHIRO
    Did you notice a weird pause when
    you met my mom in the entrance?
SIGN    Sluuurp
[18:08] SHIO
    Yes.
[18:09] KYOSHIRO
    Apparently she sees something
    like prophetic dreams sometimes.
[18:13] KYOSHIRO
    I don't really get it, but she says
    they're still or moving images.
[18:17] KYOSHIRO
    Not even she knows when she'll see them.
[18:20] TOSHIRO
    I ask that you treat this all as fantasy,
[18:24] TOSHIRO
    but Kyoko has always made friends with
    everyone extraordinarily quickly.
[18:28] TOSHIRO
    Most people's first impression is that
    she's crazy but likable for some reason.
[18:31] TOSHIRO
    I've learned from watching her
    that she's a genius at empathy.
[18:35] TOSHIRO
    People like those who understand them.
[18:37] TOSHIRO
    In other words, people who quickly
    infer what we're thinking and feeling.
[18:42] TOSHIRO
    Not in the sense that they say things that flatter us,
[18:44] TOSHIRO
    but that they won't say
    things that truly offend us.
[18:48] TOSHIRO
    If the brain of someone with
    such an extraordinary EQ
[18:51] TOSHIRO
    occasionally experienced
    bugged visual information,
[18:54] TOSHIRO
    they might instantly read a
    person's expression, voice, speech,
[18:57] TOSHIRO
    build, behavior, sweat, and context,
[19:00] TOSHIRO
    and their brain would
    subconsciously produce images
[19:05] TOSHIRO
    of what may happen to them in the future.
[19:09] TOSHIRO
    That's my theory.
[19:12] TOSHIRO
    We had her examined once long ago.
[19:14] TOSHIRO
    They found nothing wrong with her,
    but her brain was rather active.
[19:18] (Flashback) KYOKO
    I'm just glad I'm healthy!
[19:20] TOSHIRO
    So it's not fortune-telling.
[19:22] TOSHIRO
    She's just predicting possibilities.
[19:24] TOSHIRO
    But perhaps because she's so empathetic,
    they're frequently correct.
[19:27] SHIO
    So, in other words...
[19:30] TOSHIRO
    Just think of it as "she sees strange things."
[19:32] MOGURA
    It's another case of "seeing is noticing."
[19:35] MOGURA
    The way psychologists and counselors speculate
[19:37] MOGURA
    about a person's disposition
    and thought processes
[19:40] MOGURA
    makes them seem like mind-readers sometimes.
[19:43] MOGURA
    It's just about noticing things others don't.
[19:46] TOSHIRO
    That's not exactly correct,
    but it's close enough.
[19:49] KYOSHIRO
    It's not harmful, so just think
    of it as an idiosyncrasy.
[19:52] SHIO
    Got it!
[19:53] KYOSHIRO
    I really appreciate how
    quickly you accepted that.
[19:55] MOGURA
    Kyoko-chan's interacted with me
    since she married a Nekozuku,
[19:59] MOGURA
    but she still can't see spirits.
[20:01] MOGURA
    Maybe her brain decided she'd lose
    it if she saw anything else strange.
[20:07] TOSHIRO
    We shared quite a bit with you, but we
    don't typically tell others about this.
[20:11] TOSHIRO
    It's not worth the effort.
[20:12] TOSHIRO
    But with Konosaka-san...
[20:17] (Flashback) KYOKO
    Hello, Sakurako-san.
[20:19] (Flashback) KYOKO
    How's your cat Ricky doing?
[20:21] (Flashback) SAKURAKO
    Oh, hello. He's doing well.
SIGN    Crash Hot Spot

[20:37] (Flashback) KYOKO
    Wait, Sakurako-san!
[20:39] (Flashback) KYOKO
    You'll trip over a rock and get hit by a truck!
[20:43] TOSHIRO
    That correct prediction has
    backfired in certain ways.
[20:47] TOSHIRO
    Since then, she's been wanting to know if
    she's seen anything else at every turn.
[20:53] MOGURA
    She's not a bad person.
[20:55] MOGURA
    She's just prone to obsession.
[20:57] MOGURA
    She once fell into some shady religion...
[21:00] MOGURA
    According to Yoshida-san.

[21:02] TOSHIRO
    Where'd you acquire that
    middle-aged lady skill?
[21:06] MOGURA
    When you live a long time,
[21:07] MOGURA
    you realize your mind will
    break unless you learn from the
[21:10] MOGURA
    mental toughness of middle-aged ladies.
[21:12] KYOSHIRO
    Don't use pop psychology to say dark things.
[21:15] TOSHIRO
    All people, not just her, will believe
    something if it's true only 20% of the time.
[21:21] TOSHIRO
    For example, even a horoscope
    written for the public
SIGN    Your personality is…
    
    
    Kind
     Introverted
     Capricious
     Can be a contrarian but actually honest
     Shy
     Don't particularly dislike people, want to make friends
     Sometimes chatty
     Occasionally struggle to express your thoughts
     Sometimes bold
     A little selfish
     Life of the party
[21:25] TOSHIRO
    is bound to be correct in some
    cases when written like this.
[21:27] TOSHIRO
    Fortune-telling itself isn't bad.
[21:29] TOSHIRO
    Having someone listen to you
    is medicine for the mind.
[21:33] TOSHIRO
    But when those prone to assumptions
    become obsessed, it can be dangerous.
SIGN    You stole my work. I'm going to sue you.
    The first sentence on page 162 is a blatant ripoff.
     I demand an apology.
[21:37] TOSHIRO
    For example, I sometimes receive letters
    like these in response to my writing.
SIGN    You're reading my social media posts and web novels, 
    aren't you?! I can tell, and it lights my heart on fire!
    This must be fate! Especially that one expression!
[21:43] TOSHIRO
    Wh-Who are you?
SIGN    There's always one mild student stalker
[21:45] MOGURA
    Yeah, people tend to get
    attached to guys like you.
[21:51] TOSHIRO
    In other words, it's human nature to make
    strong assumptions based on small things.
[21:55] TOSHIRO
    And if we witness a prediction
     that's 90% correct,
[22:00] TOSHIRO
    we're bound to think it's a miracle or a god.
