    I call the phenomenon "Revival."
[00:08] ---
    I usually go back
    between one and five minutes,
[00:11] ---
    where everything is the same as before.
[00:13] ---
    It's always right before
    something bad happens.
[00:17] ---
    As a result, I've kept trouble
    from happening again and again.
[00:22] ---
    Welcome home, Satoru.
[00:24] ---
    Mom...
[00:33] ---
    Are you Satoru Fujinuma?
[00:36] ---
    I need to take you down to the station...

    Did you see "Mask Man"?
    It said next week's the last episode!
[02:17] ---
    I forgot to watch "Black"!

[02:24] ---
    February 15th?
[02:28] ---
    Good morning, everyone!
[02:29] ---
    Good morning!
[02:34] ---
    What's wrong, Satoru? Take your seat.
[02:39] ---
    Right.
[02:40] ---
    Where do I sit?
[02:47] ---
    Are you still half-asleep, Fujinuma?
[02:49] ---
    That's Hinazuki's desk.
[02:53] ---
    Monday. Kayo's late this week, too...
[03:00] ---
    Are you in love with Kayo, Fujinuma?
[03:04] ---
    You're both weird. Birds of a feather.
[03:08] ---
    I'm taking attendance.
[03:09] ---
    - Asuna.
    - Here.
[03:09] ---
    Is this real?
[03:11] ---
    - Abiko.
    - Here.
[03:12] ---
    Why did I end up here?
[03:13] ---
    - Abe.
    - Here.
[03:14] ---
    - Ikuta.
    - Here.
[03:15] ---
    - Here.
    - Here.
[03:18] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
[03:20] ---
    It's 18 years ago...
[03:29] ---
    How far have you gotten
    with "Dragon Quest III"?
[03:31] ---
    Level 15!
[03:33] ---
    That's all?!
[03:34] ---
    Just kidding. Really level 25.
[03:36] ---
    Liar!
[03:41] ---
    Satoru, what's wrong?
[03:43] ---
    I've got a headache,
    so I'm going to the nurse's office.
[03:46] ---
    With your backpack?
[03:50] ---
    Whatever.
[03:52] ---
    I'll let the teacher know.
[03:56] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[03:58] ---
    Is it Revival?
[04:01] ---
    Why is it happening like this?
[04:03] ---
    I don't understand.
[04:12] ---
    Mom!
[04:26] ---
    FUJINUMA
[04:37] ---
    H-Hello!
[04:39] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[04:45] ---
    A stranger, huh?
[04:52] ---
    That's right.
[04:54] ---
    She'd be at work.
[05:22] ---
    Mom...
[05:38] ---
    I'm back.
[05:43] ---
    Ma...
[05:45] ---
    "Ma"?
[05:47] ---
    I said "Mom."
[05:49] ---
    My son is weird.
[05:50] ---
    What do you want,
    hamburger or meatballs?
[05:54] ---
    H-Hamburger...
[06:12] ---
    Almost done.
[06:22] ---
    Even after that argument we had this morning
    about you not having the recorder,
[06:26] ---
    it looks like you still forgot it.
[06:29] ---
    I'm sorry, Mom.
[06:33] ---
    It's not worth crying about.
[06:43] ---
    We had times like this, too.
[06:46] ---
    Had I forgotten?
[06:48] ---
    No. I just didn't realize it then.
[06:51] ---
    I let it slip by
    without even thinking about it.
[06:53] ---
    Time that I lost...
[06:58] ---
    This is Revival after all.
[07:02] ---
    This is a chance.
[07:06] ---
    And no way am I gonna lose this time.
[07:11] ---
    Mom...
[07:13] ---
    This is really good. Thank you.
[07:16] ---
    What's the matter, Satoru?
[07:18] ---
    Thank you for dinner.
[07:19] ---
    You're welcome.

    ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
[07:23] ---
    Good morning!
[07:23] ---
    Morning!
[07:25] ---
    Am I supposed to fix the next 18 years?
[07:28] ---
    Morning, Satoru!
[07:29] ---
    Hey, Osamu!
[07:32] ---
    If this is Revival, then it's
    no coincidence that I'm here.
[07:36] ---
    It has to be to prevent
    something bad from happening.
[07:39] ---
    In other words, is this
    the starting point for saving Mom?
[07:44] ---
    Ice Hockey Club 1988 National Champions
[07:44] ---
    But why this time period?
[07:46] ---
    Nothing feels wrong here.
[08:01] ---
    Kayo Hinazuki...
[08:03] ---
    She lived with her mother, as I recall.
[08:08] ---
    Awesome...
[08:09] ---
    That's perfect.
[08:15] ---
    A bruise?
[08:18] ---
    There's something wrong with this group.
[08:20] ---
    Not one of you guys can chew
    the fat about "Dragon Quest."
[08:22] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[08:24] ---
    I mean, Hiro is a "Final Fantasy" fan,
    and Kazu only plays shooting games...
[08:28] ---
    Hiro...
[08:30] ---
    Kazu...
[08:31] ---
    Now I remember.
[08:32] ---
    And you don't have a Nintendo, Satoru.
[08:35] ---
    Is that right?
[08:36] ---
    But fellow "Dragon Quest" fans can only
    talk about "Dragon Quest," right, Osamu?
[08:41] ---
    I like this group because
    everyone's got different interests.
[08:46] ---
    Kenya...
[08:47] ---
    He always was the smart one.
[08:50] ---
    By the way, Satoru,
    can I ask you something?
[08:54] ---
    What is it?
[08:55] ---
    Do you like Hinazuki?
[08:59] ---
    You were staring at her
    the whole time in class.
[09:00] ---
    Really?!
[09:02] ---
    That's right!
[09:03] ---
    This morning too, he was just
    standing there, gazing at her!
[09:06] ---
    Come on, Satoru!
[09:08] ---
    Why didn't you come to us for advice?
[09:11] ---
    Leave it to me!
[09:12] ---
    Wha...
[09:13] ---
    I'll make it so you can talk to Hinazuki!
[09:17] ---
    K-Keep your voice down.
[09:19] ---
    U-Um...
[09:22] ---
    It's not that I "like" her.
[09:23] ---
    More like she's kind of on my mind.
[09:25] ---
    Listen to him!
[09:26] ---
    Satoru, you've got guts!
[09:28] ---
    All right! Well said!
[09:29] ---
    I'll arrange it so you can
    see her after school!
[09:35] ---
    Are you an idiot?
[09:36] ---
    She cut right to the chase.
[09:37] ---
    Is that how you greet someone?!
[09:41] ---
    I said that out loud.
[09:43] ---
    That Kazu...
[09:45] ---
    I bet he told her flat
    out that I had a crush on her.
[09:50] ---
    L-Look...
[09:52] ---
    I thought maybe we could be friends.
[09:55] ---
    After all, we go home the same way.
[09:57] ---
    Why would you say that
    to me of all people?
[10:01] ---
    This brat is a pain in the ass.
[10:03] ---
    But I understand a little bit.
[10:06] ---
    You and I are both fakes, Fujinuma.
[10:13] ---
    What the hell?
[10:15] ---
    What's she talking about?
[10:17] ---
    I saw you run home yesterday, Fujinuma.
[10:20] ---
    Is your mother that precious to you?
[10:25] ---
    Yeah.
[10:28] ---
    Oh.
[10:30] ---
    Hey... Hinazuki!
[10:32] ---
    Wait!
[10:33] ---
    I wanna be friends!
[10:37] ---
    Friends?
[10:40] ---
    Then would you kill someone for my sake?
[10:45] ---
    I could've saved her!
[10:48] ---
    Something was happening with Hinazuki
    even before she was murdered.
[10:54] ---
    If I can figure it out in time, maybe...
SIGN    Episode 2 Palm of the Hand
[11:10] ---
    You and I are both fakes, Fujinuma.
[11:14] ---
    I'm sure she didn't mean it like she saw
    the adult me posing as my kid self.
[11:17] ---
    True, I was playing it by ear there,
[11:21] ---
    but I was the same way
    the first time around in elementary school.
[11:24] ---
    I played a version of myself
    to get along well with people around me.
[11:29] ---
    Without being embarrassed,
    but with courage.
[11:35] ---
    It was so I could fit in
    with this narrow microcosm.
[11:36] ---
    Sorry about that!
[11:37] ---
    What, did you take a dump?
[11:39] ---
    No!
[11:40] ---
    It took you long enough!
[11:42] ---
    That's what she must have seen through.
[11:42] ---
    I thought you fell in!
[11:44] ---
    You must've filled the bowl!
[11:44] ---
    She said, "You and are I both fakes."
[11:46] ---
    Maybe Hinazuki meant...
[11:50] ---
    You're really hot for her, huh, Satoru?
[11:53] ---
    Speaking of which,
    how'd it go with Hinazuki?
[11:55] ---
    Were you able to say,
    "Let's walk home together"?
[11:58] ---
    No.
[11:59] ---
    We just talked a bit.
[12:01] ---
    The two of you talked?
[12:02] ---
    Yeah.
[12:03] ---
    That means you've got a chance!
[12:06] ---
    You and Hinazuki talked alone!
[12:09] ---
    Then should I give her
    another message on your behalf?
[12:09] ---
    Annoying.
[12:10] ---
    This is so exciting!
[12:11] ---
    How should I deal with these guys?
[12:13] ---
    Quit poking fun, everyone.
[12:14] ---
    What are you going to do if your
    overeagerness blows it for him?
[12:17] ---
    Good point.
[12:18] ---
    Yeah.
[12:19] ---
    We're on different pages
    here, but oh, well...
[12:22] ---
    Satoru...
[12:23] ---
    Even when we're sixth graders,
    the class won't change,
[12:26] ---
    so be careful.
[12:28] ---
    I will.
SIGN    February 17th
[12:29] ---
    School is out, everyone.
[12:31] ---
    Come to think of it,
[12:32] ---
    when did Hinazuki disappear?
    I don't have much time...
[12:32] ---
    Students who are still in the building,
    please turn off the lights and close the windows.
[12:35] ---
    Satoru, let's go!
[12:36] ---
    Let's all be careful of cars
    on the way home.
[12:37] ---
    R-Right.
[12:40] ---
    Huh?
[12:41] ---
    Satoru, didn't you just
    buy McGregor gloves?
[12:44] ---
    Now that he mentions it,
    I did have those.
[12:48] ---
    Maybe I left them somewhere?
[12:50] ---
    Probably at the hideout.
[12:53] ---
    You guys wanna stop by the hideout?
[12:56] ---
    What are you talking about?
[12:57] ---
    We already decided
    not to go when it snows
[13:00] ---
    because footprints
    are left behind, remember?
[13:02] ---
    D-Did we?
[13:06] ---
    - See you tomorrow!
    - See you!
[13:07] ---
    - Yeah!
    - See you!
[13:09] ---
    See you!
[13:13] ---
    Kenya!
[13:14] ---
    Thanks for before.
[13:16] ---
    It drove me nuts when they
    were making a big thing out of it.
[13:20] ---
    Well, of course.
[13:21] ---
    But don't let it bother you.
[13:24] ---
    Satoru, listen...
[13:26] ---
    For some reason, I think
    it's really important
[13:29] ---
    that you have your mind on Hinazuki.
[13:32] ---
    This may be stepping over the line,
[13:35] ---
    but you can talk to me about anything.
[13:38] ---
    I think all of us want to help you, Satoru.
[13:41] ---
    Yeah. Thanks.
[13:43] ---
    I know they don't have any ill will.
[13:46] ---
    Thanks to Kazu, I was able to talk
    to Hinazuki in the first place.
[13:50] ---
    So how did it really go?
[13:53] ---
    With Hinazuki.
[13:55] ---
    Did you talk to her?
[13:57] ---
    Yeah. A little.
[13:59] ---
    And I think she was being honest with me.
[14:01] ---
    I see.
[14:03] ---
    By the way, Satoru,
    recently have you...
[14:08] ---
    ...read the student
    composition collection?
[14:11] ---
    N-No, I haven't read it.
[14:13] ---
    It's actually pretty interesting.
[14:14] ---
    Read it when you get a chance.
[14:16] ---
    Well, see you tomorrow.
[14:18] ---
    See you!

[14:25] ---
    I think Kenya was hinting
    that Hinazuki's essay was interesting.
[14:31] ---
    "The Town Without Me,"
    by Kayo Hinazuki.
[14:35] ---
    When I get bigger, big enough
    to go somewhere by myself,
[14:41] ---
    I want to go to a land that's far away.
[14:43] ---
    I want to go to a faraway island.
[14:45] ---
    I want to go to an island
    that has no people.
[14:48] ---
    I want to go to an island
    that has no pain or sadness.
[14:53] ---
    There are no adults, children, classmates,
    teachers or my mom on that island.
[15:00] ---
    On that island, I can climb
    a tree when I want to climb,
[15:04] ---
    swim in the sea when I want to swim,
[15:07] ---
    and sleep when I want to sleep.
[15:09] ---
    On the island, I think about
    the town that I left behind.
[15:15] ---
    Kids go to school,
    as if nothing has changed.
[15:18] ---
    Adults go to the office,
    as if nothing has changed.
[15:21] ---
    Mom eats, as if nothing has changed.
[15:25] ---
    When I think about the town
    without me, I feel a sense of relief.
[15:32] ---
    I want to go far, far away.
[15:36] ---
    Hinazuki's essay is an SOS,
    no doubt about it.
[15:40] ---
    I'm home!
[15:43] ---
    Thank you for this meal.
[15:45] ---
    Maybe Kenya thinks I don't have
    a romantic interest in Hinazuki,
[15:48] ---
    but I am concerned about her
    after reading her essay.
[15:53] ---
    Mom...
[15:54] ---
    Yes?
[15:55] ---
    For my birthday, can I invite
    my friends here for a party?
[15:58] ---
    Sure.
[16:00] ---
    But not many people can fit in here.
[16:03] ---
    That's okay.
    I'm thinking about five people.
[16:05] ---
    This is the first time
    you've ever talked about a party.
[16:08] ---
    Shall I buy a big cake?
[16:10] ---
    Yeah. Thank you!
[16:11] ---
    What I need to do right now...
[16:14] ---
    is get to know Hinazuki better.
[16:18] ---
    I didn't do anything the first time around,
    but now I'm going to take action.
[16:21] ---
    By doing that, I'll change
    Hinazuki's behavior
[16:24] ---
    and avoid the crime that would
    otherwise occur around me soon.
[16:27] ---
    If I keep doing that...
[16:32] ---
    Satoru, are you awake?
[16:34] ---
    Five people...
[16:36] ---
    Do you have a girlfriend?
[16:39] ---
    Oh. Are you sleeping?
[16:41] ---
    Yokai...
[16:44] ---
    I just remembered something.
[16:46] ---
    I never showed Mom my essay
[16:50] ---
    because I couldn't stand
    the gaze of her all-seeing eye.
[16:53] ---
    But what did I write about again?
[16:58] ---
    All right! I'm gonna play
    "Dragon Quest" when I get home!
[17:01] ---
    Me too!
[17:02] ---
    Snowing again?
[17:03] ---
    Then we can't go to the hideout.
[17:05] ---
    Satoru, Hinazuki is leaving.
[17:07] ---
    You don't mind?
[17:08] ---
    Osamu...
[17:09] ---
    It's okay, Kenya.
    I'll catch up with her.
[17:12] ---
    Thanks, Osamu.
[17:13] ---
    See you!
[17:14] ---
    - See you!
    - See you!
[17:16] ---
    Satoru really has guts!
[17:22] ---
    I didn't have to run.
[17:24] ---
    I knew where Hinazuki would be.
[17:27] ---
    I suspected her mother was abusing her
[17:30] ---
    and she didn't want to go home,
[17:32] ---
    so she hung out at that park
    until it got dark.
[17:37] ---
    Did I just think she was weird before?
[17:47] ---
    Hinazuki!
[17:50] ---
    Fujinuma, what are you doing here?
[17:53] ---
    That's my line.
[17:56] ---
    I told you. I wanna be friends.
[18:00] ---
    Although I can't kill anybody...
[18:02] ---
    I was obviously kidding.
[18:05] ---
    It's hard for me to handle this type.
[18:07] ---
    Fujinuma, you're pretending, aren't you?
[18:12] ---
    Pretending to smile...
[18:13] ---
    Pretending to be nice...
[18:15] ---
    Pretending to be worried...
[18:17] ---
    I don't think that's a bad thing.
[18:20] ---
    And I'm not one to talk.
[18:22] ---
    But I can't see you, Fujinuma.
[18:27] ---
    I think you're right.
[18:29] ---
    I'm "performing."
[18:31] ---
    I want people to like me.
[18:33] ---
    I want to have friends.
[18:35] ---
    But I'm socially inept,
    so when I thought,
[18:36] ---
    "What can I do to help myself?"
    the answer I got was,
[18:40] ---
    "Let's try liking everyone."
[18:45] ---
    That made it a little easier to perform.
[18:51] ---
    Yeah.
[18:53] ---
    While I'm performing, it feels like
    it'll become real somewhere along the line.
[18:58] ---
    I feel like if you say
    the words over and over,
[18:59] ---
    it'll actually happen
    somewhere along the line.
[19:01] ---
    Is it the same thing that Airi said,
    which feels so long ago?
[19:06] ---
    To get what you want,
    you put up with something,
[19:09] ---
    make an effort, learn a skill,
    and inspire yourself.
[19:14] ---
    Is that how it is with Hinazuki too?
[19:16] ---
    Right now... I can tell
    she's enduring something.
[19:19] ---
    Just the opposite of me,
    she's pretending to be indifferent.
[19:22] ---
    She's acting as if she feels nothing.
[19:26] ---
    But a ten-year-old girl
    just isn't that strong.
[19:31] ---
    Hinazuki. Would you accept this?

    I want you to come.
[19:39] ---
    Y-You're inviting me?
[19:42] ---
    There'll be a lot of other people, right?
[19:44] ---
    I don't know yet.
[19:45] ---
    I decided to give you the first invitation.
[19:50] ---
    It's on March 2nd.
[19:54] ---
    You will come, won't you?
[19:58] ---
    Sure.
[19:59] ---
    Fujinuma, aren't your hands cold?
[20:02] ---
    Oh. Yeah, they are, actually...
[20:05] ---
    I think I left my gloves somewhere.
[20:15] ---
    Hey. You're 29 years old.
    Get a hold of yourself.
[20:18] ---
    What are you embarrassed about?
[20:21] ---
    Fujinuma...
[20:22] ---
    That's enough.
[20:25] ---
    My hand's a little bigger than yours, huh?
[20:27] ---
    Are you stupid?
[20:30] ---
    But still...
[20:32] ---
    it's kind of easy to talk
    to you these days, Fujinuma.
[20:37] ---
    Well...
[20:38] ---
    That's because
    I decided not to lie to you.
[20:41] ---
    I just said that out loud.
[20:46] ---
    H-Hinazuki!
[20:48] ---
    I'll see you tomorrow!
[20:51] ---
    She didn't have gloves either.
[20:57] ---
    This is the last place
    I saw Hinazuki 18 years ago.
[21:03] ---
    Her body was found
    after the snow melted.

    I won't let Hinazuki be alone in this park.
[21:14] ---

    I want to change the future!
