    A new kind of disease has been
    spreading among young people.
[00:14] ---
    Following prolonged
    periods of Internet usage,
[00:17] ---
    sufferers develop a pathological
    dependence on the Internet.
[00:23] ---
    Experts have named this
    disease "Internet Addiction."
[00:29] ---
    In order to get these addicted
    youngsters back on the right track
[00:32] ---
    and reform them into independent,
    self-respecting adults,
[00:39] ---
    the Elite Reeducation Academy,
    a civilian educational facility, was created.
[00:47] ---
    It is a place to help young
    people to grow up right.
[02:26] hibi
    He talked his way past the instructors.
SIGN    Episode 2 Between Cruelty and Kindness
[02:29] hibi
    Incredible. He wasn't lying!
[02:32] hibi
    Does that mean he wasn't
    lying about Shiori, either?
[02:54] shin
    Wudo.
[02:56] wu
    Hey!
[02:57] wu
    Shin.
[02:58] wu
    A moment of your time?
[03:11] shin
    Watch. Something
    interesting's about to happen.
[03:16] jun
    Wh-What are you doing?
[03:19] wu
    Just hold still. Don't bother fighting it.
[03:22] jun
    Stop it! Let me go!
[03:28] ---
    What?!
[03:28] hibi
    Is this the "something interesting"
    you were talking about?
[03:31] shin
    Just watch.
[03:35] jun
    Wh-What are you doing?
[03:36] ---
    Hey! Let me go!
[03:39] wu
    Yeah! I found it!
[03:43] wu
    I knew you had a damned
    phone hidden on you.
[03:45] wu
    You know that phones
    are contraband here.
[03:48] wu
    I bet you know what happens
    to people who smuggle 'em in, too.
[03:54] jun
    Give it back!
[03:56] ---
    Give it back, I said!
[04:01] wu
    You hiding anything else?
    You'd better hand it over.
[04:04] ru
    Hey, Officer.
[04:05] ru
    Why don't we strip search her?
[04:14] jun
    Please, give back my phone!
[04:18] jun
    I can't survive here without my phone!
[04:24] wu
    That's some serious
    Internet addiction you got.
[04:26] wu
    It's like you're not sorry at all.
[04:29] wu
    You've got this coming to you.
[04:39] jun
    Stop it!
[04:40] jun
    I'm begging you!
[04:44] wu
    This is on my authority
    as discipline officer.
[04:53] hibi
    Th-This is awful.
[04:55] jun
    Stop it! Stop! Someone help me!
[04:58] ---
    Stop it!
[05:00] wu
    You stupid bitch!
[05:02] wu
    You are hiding something!
[05:05] shi
    Stop.
[05:10] shi
    Wudo. You stupid pig.
[05:14] shi
    Let her go right now.
[05:16] shi
    If you don't,
[05:17] ---
    I'll slice off those trotters of yours
    and serve you pig's feet for dinner.
[05:31] wu
    Well, well.
[05:32] ---
    The student council president, is it?
[05:35] wu
    Come on, I have proof and everything.
[05:38] ---
    Everyone saw it.
[05:39] wu
    You still want to cover for her?
[05:41] shi
    Punishment is up to the
    instructors to dish out.
[05:44] shi
    You're acting outside of your purview.
[05:46] hibi
    Shiori's... the student council president?
[05:48] shi
    Let that girl go.
[05:50] shi
    Didn't you hear what I said?
[05:52] boy
    Stop giving orders!
[06:06] shio
    What a beginner.
[06:08] shio
    Looks like your spirit
    is as puny as you are.
[06:12] shio
    I'll be less merciful next time.
[06:16] boy
    I'm gonna pound you!
[06:19] hibi
    Shiori!
[06:34] shio
    Now, Officer.
[06:36] ---
    Are you ready to back off?
[06:39] shio
    Or are you going to keep
    hiding behind your underlings?
[06:43] kon
    Officer, she's getting way too
    stuck-up. I can't stand it.
[06:46] boy
    Yeah! We need to teach her a lesson!
[06:48] ins
    Hey, you guys!
[06:49] ins
    What are you doing?
[06:51] boy
    Crap!
[06:52] ins
    What's all this noise?
[06:54] ins
    School grounds are not the
    place for this! Understand?!
[06:58] wu
    Well, we got the cell phone. Let's go.
[07:01] wu
    We'll settle up with her next time.
[07:03] ins
    Get back to your classrooms! Hurry up!
[07:15] jun
    Th-Thanks...
[07:18] shi
    Excuse me.
[07:19] ---
    You there, on the ground.
[07:24] shi
    Pick up that brick.
[07:25] ---
    We don't want someone tripping.
[07:27] hibi
    R-Right.
[07:29] shio
    Wait.
[07:31] ---
    Aren't you...
[07:33] hibi
    Shiori. You remember me?
[07:40] shio
    I'll give you some first-aid.
[07:41] ---
    Come with me.
[07:42] ---
    O-Okay.
[07:46] hyo
    So there was a student who gave you that
    much trouble, Head Instructor Shian?
[07:51] hyo
    He must really be something,
[07:52] ---
    to make you late to the quarterly meeting.
[07:56] ryo
    Hyo-san, leave him alone.
[07:58] ryo
    You know how much the head
    instructor cares about the students.
[08:01] ryo
    We got new students in today,
    and that took a bit of time, that's all.
[08:05] shian
    Enough of this pointless chatter.
[08:06] shian
    What about the meeting?
[08:07] hyo
    The meeting is already over.
[08:10] hyo
    Instructor Ryo can explain
    the details to you.
[08:13] hyo
    I'm leaving.
[08:15] ryo
    I'll see you out.
[08:17] hyo
    Oh, and Head Instructor.
[08:19] hyo
    I hope you'll give that
    child your full attention.
[08:23] hyo
    You know what will happen
    if anything goes wrong, right?
[08:29] jin
    Head Instructor.
[08:31] jin
    You do need to atone for your sin.
[08:50] shio
    Does it hurt?
[08:51] hibi
    No... I'm fine.
[08:53] hibi
    But that discipline officer...
[08:55] ---
    he's pretty full of himself, huh?
[08:57] shio
    Wudo thinks he's a mob boss.
[09:00] shio
    He's an animal.
[09:03] hibi
    But... you're pretty incredible.
[09:06] hibi
    You weren't afraid at all.
[09:09] hibi
    You stood up to him like a real hero.
[09:12] hibi
    Just like in middle school...
[09:16] hibi
    Shiori, do you remember me?
[09:31] shio
    You damned pervert.
[09:33] hibi
    That wasn't necessary!
[09:35] hibi
    It's a natural response
    for a healthy young man!
[09:39] shio
    We're done here.
[09:44] shio
    Let's talk about a trade.
[09:47] jun
    A trade?
[09:48] shio
    Of course, a trade.
[09:49] shio
    Why do you think I went to the trouble
    of opposing Wudo to save you?
[09:53] shio
    You think I was just trying
    to be a good person?
[09:59] jun
    W-Wait. What are you talking about?
[10:02] jun
    You're the student
    council president, right?
[10:04] ---
    Of course you're a good person!
[10:05] jun
    It's only natural you'd want
    to get my phone back for me!
[10:08] jun
    Hey, please! I can't talk to my
    boyfriend without that phone!
[10:13] jun
    I'm locked away in here, bullied...
[10:15] jun
    Keeping in contact with him
     is my only ray of hope!
[10:18] jun
    Hey, please! Help me!
[10:23] shio
    I have one request.
[10:25] shio
    You managed to smuggle it
     through that strict inspection.
[10:28] shio
    You can get another one in, can't you?
[10:30] shio
    I need a cell phone, too.
[10:33] jun
    But...
[10:39] shio
    If you succeed, I'll teach
    you how to use a knife.
[10:42] jun
    You mean...
[10:44] ---
    if I can use a knife,
    I won't be bullied anymore?
[10:47] jun
    I can protect myself?
[10:48] shio
    Not just that.
[10:50] shio
    If no one comes to save you
     the next time you're bullied...
[10:55] shio
    You can use that to kill yourself.
[10:58] shio
    It's better than being bullied, right?
[11:02] jun
    In exchange for risking
    my life to get you a cell phone,
[11:04] ---
    you want to teach me
    how to commit suicide?
[11:07] jun
    That's stupid!
[11:08] jun
    If I could smuggle another in just
    like that, I wouldn't need your help!
[11:14] shio
    Fine. Disappear.
[11:16] shio
    Don't count on my protection again.
[11:23] hibi
    Shiori!
[11:28] hibi
    Maybe you've forgotten, but I remember.
[11:33] hibi
    You used to be really nice.
    Everyone liked you.
[11:36] hibi
    When did you become someone so cold?
[11:39] hibi
    When did you start talking
    about hurting people?
[11:41] hibi
    The reason I was able to get back on my
    feet then was because you were there.
[11:50] shio
    Are you done?
[11:53] hibi
    No, not yet! I...
[11:58] shio
    If you're done, then disappear.
[12:02] shio
    If you don't,
[12:03] ---
    the next place this knife is going
[12:06] shio
    is into your tongue.
[12:09] shin
    I see.
[12:14] shin
    That's the student council president I know.
[12:17] shin
    She really brings the fire
    with the new students.
[12:20] shio
    What do you want?
    I didn't ask for your opinion.
[12:25] shin
    Want to hear my conditions?
[12:27] shin
    I think you'll be interested
    in what I have to say.
[12:31] jun
    That's... my cell phone!
[12:34] jun
    Give it to me!
[12:36] shio
    Don't move.
[12:38] shio
    I have a need for that cell phone, too.
[12:42] shio
    So, what's the deal?
[12:43] shin
    It's simple.
[12:46] shin
    One of you two, take that
    innocent little lamb over there
[12:49] shin
    and make him a man.
[12:54] hib
    What? Hey, no, I wasn't... really...
[12:58] shio
    I knew it.
[12:59] shio
    Men are nothing but animals
    controlled by their lusts.
[13:07] jun
    Hey, you...
[13:09] jun
    You really are a good person, right?
[13:11] jun
    So please, don't make me suffer.
[13:14] jun
    I promised myself that my first time
    would be with my boyfriend.
[13:17] jun
    And I don't know anything, either...
[13:19] jun
    So please, call it off, won't you?
[13:23] jun
    Although, if you'd be gentle with me...
[13:28] jun
    If you wouldn't do anything cruel...
[13:31] hibi
    What does she mean, if I'll be gentle?
[13:35] hibi
    Is she coming on to me?
[13:36] hibi
    You saw that Shiori wanted
    that cell phone, Hibiki.
[13:40] hibi
    If you have any spine at all,
    you'll take your friend's side.
[13:46] hibi
    I'll give your phone back.
[13:47] ---
    It's yours, anyway.
[13:49] hibi
    You idiot! What are you saying?
[13:51] jun
    Really?
[13:52] jun
    I knew you were a good person!
[13:56] hibi
    I get to do it with a girl!
[13:58] ---
    Why should I care who it is?
[14:05] shin
    You've shown me that a person's
    ability to get through life
[14:08] ---
    depends on the quality of their performance.
[14:11] shin
    And you've gotten very good at it.
[14:14] shin
    Jun, age 16.
[14:16] shin
    Blood type AB. Gemini.
[14:18] shin
    Your favorite colors are orange and pink.
[14:21] shin
    Two years ago, you became obsessed with
    an idol unit and began chasing them.
[14:24] shin
    You ended up stealing from your
    parents, so they grounded you.
[14:29] shin
    Afterwards, you obtained the
    SNS ID of one of the members,
[14:33] shin
    friended him, and soon fell in love.
[14:36] shin
    Then you stole your parents'
    bank card password
[14:40] ---
    and started pouring money
    to his bank account.
[14:43] shin
    But it turned out he wasn't really a member,
[14:45] ---
    and he had fooled a number
    of other girls like you.
[14:49] shin
    Even knowing that, you began working for him,
[14:52] ---
    even defrauding other fans.
[14:55] shin
    Before long, another victim reported him.
[14:57] shin
    You should have been sent to
    the police as an accomplice,
[15:01] shin
    but your parents pulled strings
    and had you placed in this school.
[15:04] shin
    I don't know how you
    smuggled a phone in here,
[15:07] shin
    but knowing you, you worked your wiles
    on an instructor to get it done.
[15:13] jun
    You're awful. How dare
    you slander me like this!
[15:18] shin
    Come on, it's the truth.
[15:20] shin
    I've had my eye on you for a long time.
[15:22] shin
    You play the good girl so aggressively
    that it backfires on you.
[15:26] shin
    And I'm the one who told Wudo
    that you might have a cell phone.
[15:35] jun
    You son of a...
[15:43] shio
    I'm done with you. Disappear.
[15:46] jun
    I'll get you for this! All three of you!
[15:51] shio
    It looks like you have a way to use
    the Internet whenever you want to.
[15:56] shio
    You also have information
    that other people don't.
[15:59] shio
    However...
[16:00] shio
    what if I took that away by force?
[16:02] shin
    This? If you want it, you can have it.
[16:05] shin
    I don't mind.
[16:06] shin
    But it's just a pamphlet, you know.
[16:10] shin
    I never said it was a cell phone.
[16:12] shin
    If you really do want a cell phone, though,
[16:15] shin
    stop threatening me with a knife,
[16:17] ---
    and give some thought to my proposal.
[16:19] hibi
    Um... Shin?
[16:21] hibi
    Please, enough.
    It's not right to do this to Shiori.
[16:24] both
    Shut up!
[16:34] shio
    Fine.
[16:35] ---
    I'll do it.
[16:38] shio
    But if you're lying to me...
[16:40] shin
    Don't worry. Given your knife skills,
    I wouldn't even try.
[16:44] shin
    But you can't fool me.
[16:49] shin
    Make sure you bring me proof.
[17:02] hibi
    Shiori?
[17:10] hibi
    I haven't seen Shiori in three years.
[17:12] hibi
    This should be a joyous reunion.
[17:15] hibi
    But meeting her in a place like this...
    and having to do that...

[17:21] hibi
    I can't do it!
[17:22] hibi
    This is a dirty way of doing things.
[17:23] hibi
    But...
[17:26] hibi
    Say something, Hibiki!
[17:28] hibi
    If you're a man, then be a man!
[17:29] hibi
    Just decide if you're going
    to go through it or not!
[17:33] angel
    A real man would never threaten a girl!
[17:37] devil
    This is your big chance,
    and you're not gonna do anything?
[17:40] devil
    Only an idiot would let this chance
    slip through his fingers!
[17:43] angel
    You'll look much cooler
    if you just walk away!
[17:45] devil
    Shut up!
[17:46] devil
    You can't find love unless you grab it
    by the horns, just like in a manga!
[17:50] angel
    Real life isn't manga!
[17:52] angel
    If you want to win a girl's heart,
    patience is what pays!
[17:56] devil
    Shut up!
[17:57] ---
    What?
[17:57] devil
    That hurt!
[17:58] hibi
    Enough!
[18:00] hibi
    I don't want a physical connection
    with no emotion behind it.
[18:03] hibi
    I can't do it! If I were to
    do something so shameless...
[18:05] hibi
    Shiori, don't worry.
[18:07] hibi
    I won't take advantage of you.
[18:09] hibi
    If you want to use a phone
    and have Internet, I'll...
[18:11] ---
    figure... something out?
[19:36] hibi
    I-It feels so... how to describe it?
[19:40] hibi
    A-Amazing...
[19:53] hibi
    The vast universe.
[19:55] ---
    The infinite stars.
[19:57] hibi
    Life began and diversified.
[20:02] hibi
    I understand it all, now.
[20:04] ---
    All of the truths of nature!
[20:09] hibi
    I'm so glad I didn't die!
[20:16] hibi
    It's coming! It's soon!
[20:18] hibi
    At last, my life is going to blossom!
[20:25] hibi
    Or... maybe not?
[20:38] shio
    Don't sweat it.
[20:41] shio
    I... I'm fine.
[20:48] shio
    I'm okay. One more time...
[20:50] ---
    One more time...
[20:53] shio
    This time...
[20:56] hibi
    Let's forget it, Shiori.
[20:58] hibi
    No need to force it.
[20:59] hibi
    If you keep heaving, you're gonna...
[21:02] shio
    Are you saying you don't want me?
[21:16] shio
    One more time!
[21:18] hibi
    Still?!
[21:19] hibi
    Shiori, enough! I don't want to
    see you force yourself like this.
[21:22] hibi
    I'm not that cruel.
[21:23] ---
    Please don't hurt yourself any more.
[21:31] shio
    Sorry. I...
[21:34] hibi
    Hey, it's okay. You don't
    have to get that emotional.
[21:38] shio
    When you touch me, I just can't stop myself.
[21:47] shin
    I thought she wasn't a simple woman,
