"Higurashi: When They Cry"
**[01:32] ---**
"Friday, June 10th"
**[01:40] ---**
What's wrong?
**[01:44] ---**
Oh, nothing!
**[01:51] ---**
You haven't skipped breakfast once since
we moved here! I'm so proud of you.
**[02:00] ---**
Oh, isn't it about time for you
to meet up with Rena-*chan*?
**[02:08] ---**
Thanks for breakfast!
**[02:10] ---**
Have a good day at school!
**[02:15] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Good morning!
**[02:19] ---**
Why are you always here so early?
**[02:21] ---**
You can sleep in
every now and then, you know.
**[02:25] ---**
But then you'd have to wait for me!
**[02:27] ---**
I wouldn't wait for you.
**[02:29] ---**
But I always wait for *you*...
**[02:32] ---**
Don't care. I'd ditch you
in a heartbeat if you were late.
**[02:35] ---**
Why are you so mean to me? Why?
**[02:39] ---**
Just kidding. I wouldn't ditch you.
**[02:41] ---**
Th-Thanks.
**[02:43] ---**
I'd wait for you till you showed,
no matter how long it took.
**[02:49] ---**
No matter how long?
**[02:58] ---**
Hey, there they are.
You guys sure took your sweet time!
**[03:02] ---**
Says the girl who always takes *her* sweet time.
**[03:04] ---**
Morning, Mii-*chan*!
**[03:07] ---**
Morning, Rena.
**[03:08] ---**
Long time no see, Kei-*chan*!
How many years has it been?
**[03:12] ---**
I was gone for two days, jeez!
**[03:15] ---**
Only two days? Okay.
**[03:17] ---**
How was your trip home? Good?
**[03:19] ---**
I went back for a funeral,
so I was busy the whole time.
**[03:23] ---**
Hey, did you get time to look for that thing?
**[03:25] ---**
You know, that Western game catalog!
**[03:27] ---**
Did you hear what I just said?
I didn't have any free time!
**[03:32] ---**
Aww.
**[03:40] ---**
Well, well...
**[03:45] ---**
Trying to test my skills, are you?
**[03:48] ---**
What's going on, guys?
**[03:50] ---**
Stay back, Rena! She's at it again!
**[03:52] ---**
Huh? By she, you mean...
**[03:54] ---**
Look!
**[03:55] ---**
Could this be any more obvious,
Satoko Hojo?!
**[03:58] ---**
Guess the game is on again today.
**[04:01] ---**
No, this is Satoko we're up against.
There must be more to it.
**[04:06] ---**
It appears to be a normal blackboard eraser.
**[04:09] ---**
No rocks in it or anything.
**[04:11] ---**
Like that one from your first day of school?
That bump on your head was no joke.
**[04:16] ---**
So why don't you just open
the door and let it fall down?
**[04:20] ---**
No way! That's what she *wants* me to do!
**[04:23] ---**
The eraser is a distraction!
**[04:25] ---**
That means...
**[04:33] ---**
It's a terrifying combination trap.
**[04:49] ---**
Ow, ow...
**[04:52] ---**
My, what do we have here?
**[04:54] ---**
Good morning, Keiichi-*san*.
Causing a ruckus at this early hour?
**[04:59] ---**
That was a step up
from your usual traps, Satoko!
**[05:03] ---**
I haven't the faintest idea what you mean!
**[05:06] ---**
Why, you little--
**[05:09] ---**
Ow, ow...
**[05:14] ---**
Pain, pain, go away.
**[05:18] ---**
Good morning, Rika-*chan*!
**[05:20] ---**
Good morning, Rena.
**[05:22] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[05:25] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s so sweet.
**[05:28] ---**
Unlike some kids I know.
**[05:29] ---**
Lies and slander! What proof do you have that...
**[05:35] ---**
Fair warning, my forehead flick
can split plywood in half.
**[05:38] ---**
No! Don't touch me, you brute!
**[05:42] ---**
Hey, people are gonna get the wrong idea!
**[05:51] ---**
Don't cry, Satoko!
**[05:53] ---**
Chin up, okay!
**[05:55] ---**
You'll get Keiichi next time with
an even bigger and better trap!
**[06:01] ---**
Hold on a sec.
**[06:04] ---**
Satoko-*chan* is crying...
**[06:06] ---**
But it's so kyute!
**[06:07] ---**
--I wanna take her home!
**[06:10] ---**
--Please don't.
--I wanna take her home!
**[06:11] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
**[06:14] ---**
Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, Kei-*chan*.
**[06:18] ---**
Bother me? You're gonna give me
a tour of Hinamizawa.
**[06:21] ---**
I should be thanking you for your time.
**[06:23] ---**
Hey, where's Rena?
**[06:26] ---**
She's never late like this.
**[06:28] ---**
She said she's making lunch for you,
so she's probably pulling out all the stops.
**[06:32] ---**
Though I hope she doesn't go too overboard.
**[06:35] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[06:37] ---**
Here we go.
**[06:39] ---**
Kei-*chan*, you'd better take responsibility
for all that, seeing as it's your fault.
**[06:41] ---**
Y-You're right. I'm a man.
**[06:44] ---**
I'll take care of it!
**[06:46] ---**
Huh? R-Responsibility for what? For what?!
**[07:20] ---**
This is the Furude Shrine!
**[07:23] ---**
They're gonna hold a festival here next Sunday.
**[07:27] ---**
Really? Isn't it a little early
for summer festivals, though?
**[07:32] ---**
Watanagashi is a festival
celebrating the end of winter.
**[07:51] ---**
Eat up!
**[07:53] ---**
And make sure you eat all of it.
**[07:55] ---**
You're in for a world of pain
if you make Rena cry.
**[07:58] ---**
I'm a man. I'll try my best, but...
**[08:01] ---**
This is a lot of food!
**[08:02] ---**
What in the world is happening here?
**[08:08] ---**
Hello, everyone.
**[08:12] ---**
We're going to eat this gourmet meal
that Rena made for us.
**[08:15] ---**
Yes, I can see that!
**[08:18] ---**
Why have you laid out a tarp on our property?!
**[08:22] ---**
Shrines are public places!
You can't keep us from picnicking here!
**[08:25] ---**
Keiichi's right. Everyone can use this space.
**[08:29] ---**
Boy, Rika-*chan* really is such a sweetheart!
**[08:33] ---**
Come have a seat and dig in!
**[08:35] ---**
--Thank you so much!
**[08:36] ---**
--Stop right there, peon!
--Thank you so much!
**[08:38] ---**
Wherever am I supposed to sit?
**[08:40] ---**
Nowhere, because you're not
getting any of this food!
**[08:43] ---**
N-No, it's fine! You can
have some, too, Satoko-*chan*...
**[08:47] ---**
Not! I'm gonna eat it first!
**[08:53] ---**
Rika...
**[08:54] ---**
Here, take these chopsticks!
**[09:01] ---**
Boy, Kei-*chan*, you're pretty good
at roping people into stuff.
**[09:05] ---**
We'll need to work fast too,
or they'll eat everything!
**[09:09] ---**
No kidding.
**[09:10] ---**
Us old farts better get in on
the action while we can!
**[09:14] ---**
You're mine!
**[09:18] ---**
Hey! Elbows are cheating!
**[09:24] ---**
No hamburg steak for you!
**[09:28] ---**
The hour of your defeat is nigh, Satoko Hojo!
**[09:31] ---**
Not the meatballs!
**[09:33] ---**
My, they're so plump and juicy,
just phenomenal!
**[09:37] ---**
Fine, then I'll take these *tamagoyaki*!
**[09:42] ---**
Wow, they really melt in your mouth!
**[09:46] ---**
Man, Rena's cooking is so good!
**[09:49] ---**
It's delicious!
**[09:51] ---**
It's the best.
**[09:59] ---**
Bye, guys! See you all tomorrow.
**[10:01] ---**
Thanks for showing me around today, Mion.
**[10:02] ---**
Bye!
**[10:04] ---**
Thanks for hanging out with me, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[10:07] ---**
Did you have fun today?
**[10:08] ---**
Yeah, loads! I'm kinda bummed
we're all going home.
**[10:12] ---**
Well... would it be okay if we stopped
somewhere on our way back? Would it?
**[10:17] ---**
Sure, but where?
**[10:29] ---**
"NO TRESPASSING"
**[10:37] ---**
Wonder what's here, wonder what's here!
**[10:44] ---**
You wanted to go climb a pile of trash, Rena?
**[10:47] ---**
It's not trash! To me, it's a pile of treasure!
**[10:51] ---**
Maybe I'll find something kyute...
I can't wait, I can't wait!
**[10:55] ---**
Hey, hold up!
**[10:59] ---**
It's okay, you just wait over
there, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:02] ---**
Sheesh.
**[11:21] ---**
Whoa, you scared me!
**[11:23] ---**
What?! *You* scared *me*!
**[11:25] ---**
Sorry about that. I didn't mean to startle you.
**[11:28] ---**
Do you live here in Hinamizawa?
**[11:32] ---**
The name's Tomitake.
I'm a freelance photographer.
**[11:36] ---**
I come by Hinamizawa every now and then.
**[11:38] ---**
There's so much beauty
just waiting to be captured on film.
**[11:42] ---**
Shouldn't you know better than to take
someone's photo without asking permission?
**[11:47] ---**
Oh, don't worry, I'm all about
taking pictures of birds!
**[11:50] ---**
After all, I don't need their permission!
**[11:56] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:59] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm all done!
**[12:03] ---**
Oh, I didn't know you were here with a friend.
**[12:07] ---**
What on earth is she doing in a place like this?
**[12:10] ---**
No clue. Maybe she's checking in on
a dismembered corpse or something.
**[12:17] ---**
Oh, uh, I was just kidding.
**[12:21] ---**
What a grisly incident.
**[12:23] ---**
I hear one of his arms is still missing.
**[12:26] ---**
Huh?
**[12:38] ---**
Wait, what did you just say?
**[12:41] ---**
Thanks for waiting, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:44] ---**
I'm sorry that took so long, so sorry!
**[12:46] ---**
Oh, hello.
**[12:48] ---**
Hi there.
**[12:49] ---**
Don't want to be a third wheel here,
so I'll see you around.
**[12:53] ---**
Sorry to scare you there, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:58] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?
**[13:00] ---**
Oh, uhh, did you find any buried treasure?
**[13:03] ---**
I did! I found a Kenta-*kun* statue!
**[13:06] ---**
Kenta-*kun* statue? You mean the ones you see
in front of those fried chicken joints?
**[13:12] ---**
Yeah, a Kenta-*kun*!
**[13:14] ---**
It's so kyute! I wanna take him home!
**[13:18] ---**
He's in the trash, so you can
take him home if you want.
**[13:21] ---**
Well, I would if I could, but he's stuck
in the bottom of the pile.
**[13:26] ---**
And it's getting dark, too.
**[13:28] ---**
How about we come by again
and I'll help you get him out?
**[13:31] ---**
Then I can pay you back for that
awesome lunch you made us.
**[13:35] ---**
Thank you!
**[13:36] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s gonna help me...
**[13:38] ---**
And Kenta-*kun*'s gonna come home with me!
**[13:44] ---**
What a grisly incident.
**[13:46] ---**
Hey, Rena, did something big
happen around here a while back?
**[13:50] ---**
Yeah, they were gonna build a dam here.
**[13:54] ---**
Did anything happen at the build site?
**[13:58] ---**
Like an accident, or some kind of incident...
**[14:00] ---**
I don't know.
**[14:03] ---**
I only moved here a year ago, you see!
**[14:06] ---**
Huh? You're a transfer student, too?
I had no idea.
**[14:11] ---**
Yeah, that's why I dunno about stuff
that happened before then! Sorry!
**[14:21] ---**
"Monday, June 13th"
**[14:29] ---**
Okay! I am pleased to announce that,
despite coming in dead last,
**[14:32] ---**
our applicant showed incredible promise
during his evaluation game, and as such,
**[14:35] ---**
I, Mion Sonozaki, president of this club,
do hereby welcome our newest member...
**[14:40] ---**
Keiichi Maebara!
**[14:43] ---**
You ready to face the music today?
**[14:45] ---**
It's your-- No, it's all of your faults!
**[14:49] ---**
Do you know how embarrassed I was
after playing that crazy card game?!
**[14:51] ---**
I mean, you lost, so you had to
face the penalty--
**[14:53] ---**
Penalty?! It was way worse than that!
**[14:57] ---**
Mion! You used that torture device
you snuck in to completely ruin my face!
**[15:02] ---**
By torture device, you mean this?
**[15:04] ---**
Of course I mean that!
And it's permanent ink, too!
**[15:07] ---**
My mom caught me wiping all that crap off
in the bathroom! Have a little sympathy!
**[15:12] ---**
Don't be so dramatic, Keiichi-*san*.
**[15:16] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[15:19] ---**
So what're we playing today?
Old Maid again? Tycoon?
**[15:25] ---**
You've got too much of a handicap
to be playing cards with us.
**[15:28] ---**
Why don't we do a scavenger hunt instead?
**[15:37] ---**
Down here?!
**[15:39] ---**
Dammit, where'd Mion hide it?!
**[15:45] ---**
I'm gonna go hide this somewhere at school.
**[15:48] ---**
Whoever finds it first, wins.
That's fair, isn't it?
**[15:52] ---**
So you're not gonna play?
Who gets penalized, then?
**[15:56] ---**
We'll play with special rules.
**[15:58] ---**
If you find it first, Kei-*chan*,
then *you* get to draw all over *my* face.
**[16:10] ---**
Stay cool, Keiichi Maebara!
**[16:13] ---**
Knowing Mion, she wants to make
sure anyone but me finds it.
**[16:15] ---**
"STORAGE"
Knowing Mion, she wants to make
sure anyone but me finds it.
**[16:17] ---**
And because I'm new here, she probably
hid it somewhere I don't know about yet!
**[16:29] ---**
--Rena!
--Keiichi-*kun*!
**[16:32] ---**
You're not gonna let me win, are you...
**[16:34] ---**
Sorry, Keiichi-*kun*, but it's Club Rule ♪2:
**[16:38] ---**
"Always strive for victory
with everything you've got!"
**[16:42] ---**
--Pardon me!
--Excuse us!
**[16:49] ---**
I don't think so!
**[16:58] ---**
Victory is mine today, Rika!
**[17:01] ---**
You're still no match for my
ingenious traps, my sweet, little Rika!
**[17:07] ---**
Satoko, I think that's enough...
**[17:11] ---**
It's okay, I lost. I'm not mad about it at all.
**[17:18] ---**
In fact, because you won,
I've got a present for you, Satoko!
**[17:21] ---**
Oh, Rika, I knew you, of all people,
would understand!
**[17:24] ---**
Congratulations, Satoko!
**[17:35] ---**
Wh-What on earth just happened?!
**[17:37] ---**
Satoko, look at your face...
**[17:44] ---**
What in the world?!
**[17:45] ---**
I brought it to fight back
against your traps, Satoko!
**[17:51] ---**
Looks like *you're* no match for Rika-*chan*.
**[17:58] ---**
Rena?
**[17:59] ---**
Oh, sorry, I'm a little tired.
Maybe all that fun wore me out!
**[18:05] ---**
You okay?
**[18:06] ---**
Yeah. I think I'm gonna go rest
in the nurse's office, then go home.
**[18:10] ---**
--But what about Kenta-*kun*...?
--Don't worry!
**[18:12] ---**
Once you're feeling better,
I'll come help out!
**[18:23] ---**
I'm going to go wash my face.
**[18:26] ---**
There's no way I can go out in public like this!
**[18:33] ---**
Guess that's it for today.
**[18:37] ---**
A Kenta-*kun* statue?
**[18:39] ---**
Yeah, that's right up Rena's alley.
**[18:41] ---**
Hey, Mion. You know about
that dam construction site?
**[18:45] ---**
Did something go down there way long ago?
**[18:47] ---**
Sure did. A war, practically.
**[18:49] ---**
They demanded for the construction to stop,
hosted sit-ins, and held big protests.
**[18:54] ---**
Makes sense that everyone would fight.
The dam would've flooded your homes.
**[18:59] ---**
The government cronies were dead set
on seeing the project through.
**[19:02] ---**
Once they found out they
couldn't bribe their way to victory,
**[19:04] ---**
they resorted to some really nasty tactics!
**[19:06] ---**
I'm surprised the villagers
still ended up winning,
**[19:08] ---**
especially against the government.
**[19:09] ---**
The mayor and all the village bigwigs
signed petitions.
**[19:13] ---**
They went to Tokyo and
struck deals with politicians.
**[19:15] ---**
Thanks to all that hard work,
the dam project was cancelled.
**[19:18] ---**
The sweet taste of victory was ours!
**[19:23] ---**
There wasn't, like,
any violence or anything, right?
**[19:26] ---**
No one got assaulted or murdered?
**[19:29] ---**
Of course not.
**[19:32] ---**
Okay, see you tomorrow!
**[19:38] ---**
"Tuesday, June 14th"
**[19:43] ---**
"Hinamizawa"
**[19:47] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th"
**[19:58] ---**
There she is.
**[20:00] ---**
Yo, Rena! Working up a sweat?
**[20:07] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?! Why are you here?!
**[20:10] ---**
I received word of an emergency
in the area and rushed to the scene!
**[20:12] ---**
Where's the man in need of grave assistance?!
**[20:14] ---**
Huh?! What?! An emergency?!
**[20:17] ---**
Yes, a report about a Kenta-*kun* statue
buried deep in a pile of trash?
**[20:21] ---**
O-Oh! C'mon, Keiichi-*kun*, you scared me!
**[20:27] ---**
I'm just messing around.
I promised I'd help, remember?
**[20:30] ---**
You came all the way here for me...?
**[20:37] ---**
So where's that Kenta-*kun* at?
**[20:40] ---**
Over here!
**[20:41] ---**
Right there. See him underneath?
**[20:45] ---**
You were really going to try to get him
out from there all by yourself?
**[20:49] ---**
Here, get out of the way.
**[21:14] ---**
Man, I wish we had an axe
or a saw or something.
**[21:17] ---**
It's fine, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[21:19] ---**
I don't mind, Rena. You want it, right?
**[21:27] ---**
O-Okay, let's take a break.
**[21:29] ---**
H-Hey, let me go get us some barley tea!
My house is super close!
**[21:34] ---**
Stay there, okay!
**[21:55] ---**
I hear one of his arms is still missing.
**[22:12] ---**
"Weekly News"
"Construction Worker Lynched,
Murdered, and Dismembered
at Hinamizawa Dam Construction Site"
**[22:16] ---**
"At the construction site for
the planned Hinamizawa Dam,
**[22:19] ---**
a construction worker was lynched,
murdered, then dismembered"?!
**[22:24] ---**
I knew it! Something did happen!
**[22:34] ---**
*Who was behind me when I turned to look?
(Who's in front now?)*
**[22:43] ---**
*I raised my claws to the darkness
(and slashed through the night)*
**[22:50] ---**
*The rain turns to droplets of blood
that stream down my cheeks*
**[23:00] ---**
*If you have nowhere to return to now*
**[23:10] ---**
*Come to me, to my finger*
**[23:15] ---**
*I'll take you away*
**[23:19] ---**
*To the forbidden forest where the cicadas cry*
**[23:24] ---**
*You can no longer turn back*

Where am I?
**[00:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[00:29] ---**
Rika...
**[00:30] ---**
Hanyuu? But why?
**[00:33] ---**
This is one of the fragments
linked to the myriad worlds.
**[00:38] ---**
I was wondering why I didn't
see you when I woke up.
**[00:44] ---**
I am...
**[00:46] ---**
I'm just a lingering trace of myself.
**[00:49] ---**
I don't care what you are.
I'm just glad I can talk to you.
**[00:55] ---**
Did I die? Or was I killed?
**[00:58] ---**
I'm sorry. Insubstantial as I am,
I cannot answer that for you.
**[01:04] ---**
Then tell me this.
Where does this shard lead to?
**[01:09] ---**
June 1983.
**[01:14] ---**
I'm going to have to repeat it again?!
**[01:16] ---**
Were a hundred years not enough?!
**[01:19] ---**
I'm really sorry...
**[01:24] ---**
Fine.
**[01:27] ---**
I'm no longer that little girl
who knew nothing of the truth,
**[01:31] ---**
who kept tossing the dice, hoping luck
would eventually be in her favor.
**[01:37] ---**
I know everything now,
even the rules of Hinamizawa...
**[01:41] ---**
I know who kills Rika Furude, too.
**[01:45] ---**
Rika...
**[01:47] ---**
We won our future before,
**[01:49] ---**
and I'll get it back again, I swear.

and pickaxes, murdered the victim,

then used an axe to sever the head, arms,
and legs from the corpse.
**[04:02] ---**
I-I'm so sorry! Did I scare you? Did I?
**[04:06] ---**
N-No.
**[04:07] ---**
H-Hey, Keiichi-*kun*! Remember how
you said you wish you had a saw?
**[04:12] ---**
I brought something that might help!
**[04:16] ---**
Oh. Sorry, I guess I kinda overreacted.
**[04:24] ---**
No, it's okay! I'm sorry to scare you--so sorry!
**[04:27] ---**
I'm really glad you brought it,
but it's getting pretty dark.
**[04:30] ---**
We should probably call it here today.
**[04:32] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:33] ---**
Don't worry, Rena!
We can come back tomorrow!
**[04:37] ---**
You wanna help me again?
**[04:39] ---**
Why wouldn't I?
**[04:41] ---**
Thank you, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[04:44] ---**
I'm gonna bring Kenta-*kun* home!

**[05:07] ---**
Is this really how they do P.E. here?
**[05:11] ---**
What other option do we have?
We've got kids of all ages here.
**[05:15] ---**
P.E. class here is just about
making sure you get up and exercise!
**[05:20] ---**
Sorry about the wait!
**[05:21] ---**
Mion-*san*, what shall we do today?
**[05:25] ---**
A game that will test
your power and endurance.
**[05:28] ---**
Remember, in the world of sports,
you have no allies!
**[05:31] ---**
Everyone is your rival!
**[05:32] ---**
The heck does that mean?
**[05:33] ---**
We're returning to our roots with the king
of all outdoor free-for-alls...
**[05:40] ---**
Tag!
**[05:42] ---**
An excellent suggestion!
**[05:44] ---**
I won't let you win!
**[05:46] ---**
I'm gonna give it my all, too!
**[05:47] ---**
Dang, you guys sure are into it.
**[05:50] ---**
Club rule ♪3: You must partake in every game
and enjoy it without question!
**[05:54] ---**
Wait, this is part of club now?!
**[05:56] ---**
All right!
**[05:57] ---**
Let's play us some tag!
**[06:01] ---**
We're gonna play Zombie Tag,
where getting tagged means you're it, too.
**[06:06] ---**
Why's the name so scary? Why?
**[06:09] ---**
'Cause the zombies will rip out
your guts while you're still alive!
**[06:13] ---**
Eww, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[06:16] ---**
Don't worry. I'll get to you before
Keiichi does and eat you nice and slow.
**[06:21] ---**
That isn't comforting at all, Rika.
**[06:24] ---**
If you can last till the bell rings, you win.
**[06:26] ---**
We'll draw straws to see who's it first.
**[06:28] ---**
--There, there...
**[06:29] ---**
--My brilliant plan will make
escaping your clutches a piece of cake!
--There, there...
**[06:45] ---**
Poor Satoko.
**[06:46] ---**
Guess she should have worked on
her luck instead of that "brilliant plan"!
**[06:51] ---**
Tomita-*san*! Okumura-*san*!
Have either of you seen Keiichi-*san*?
**[06:56] ---**
Oh, yeah...
**[06:57] ---**
He's over there.
**[06:59] ---**
What the heck?! I didn't know
zombies could ask humans for help!
**[07:03] ---**
If she's gonna use information against us...
**[07:07] ---**
Hey, guys, could you
deliver a message for me?
**[07:09] ---**
Tell Satoko that her mom and dad
are waiting for her at the school gate.
**[07:12] ---**
Huh? Sure.
**[07:14] ---**
I've got one for Mion, too.
**[07:15] ---**
Tell her the teacher wants
to see her at the school gate.
**[07:18] ---**
Sure, I can tell the class rep that!
**[07:26] ---**
Sorry about sacrificing you, Mion,
but I've just bought myself some time!
**[07:31] ---**
Have you seen Maebara-*san*?
**[07:33] ---**
Nope. I hear his dad's waiting
for him at the gate, though.
**[07:37] ---**
Hey, do you know where Maebara-*san* is?
**[07:39] ---**
His mom just got rushed to the hospital!
**[07:42] ---**
I heard that the police are looking for him!
**[07:45] ---**
Class rep Mion said he needs to go
to the gate 'cause his house is on fire!
**[07:50] ---**
So this is your foul doing, Mion!
**[07:53] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[07:56] ---**
You're still safe?
**[07:57] ---**
I'm giving it my all!
**[08:00] ---**
Satoko-*chan* and Mii-*chan* chased after me...
**[08:02] ---**
Don't worry, Rena.
**[08:06] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[08:10] ---**
Rika-*chan*? What're you doing?
**[08:15] ---**
Wait, why are you coming closer? Why?!
**[08:19] ---**
Don't be afraid, Rena. I'll be gentle.
**[08:22] ---**
Gentle?
**[08:24] ---**
When I eat you alive!
**[08:27] ---**
Y-You're joking, right?! You wouldn't...
**[08:32] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Help!
**[08:36] ---**
There you are, Kei-*chan*!
**[08:38] ---**
I wonder how Keiichi-*san*'s
innards are going to taste!
**[08:42] ---**
Come on, Keiichi, join us!
**[08:49] ---**
Okay, you guys are
seriously creeping me out!
**[08:53] ---**
Accept your fate, Kei-*chan*!
**[08:56] ---**
S-Someone, help!
**[09:03] ---**
Man, Rena was the only survivor?
**[09:06] ---**
Only because you're so
insufferably slow, Keiichi-*san*!
**[09:09] ---**
Can you blame me, though?!
**[09:11] ---**
It's okay, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[09:13] ---**
You'd never do anything cruel to me... right?
**[09:19] ---**
How am I supposed to do anything
when she pulls that card on me?!
**[09:22] ---**
It's time for Keiichi's punishment!
**[09:27] ---**
That means today's winners are
Rena Ryugu and Mion Sonozaki!
**[09:32] ---**
Wait, what? You weren't a zombie, Mii-*chan*?
**[09:35] ---**
I was just pretending!
**[09:37] ---**
Dammit, Mion!
**[09:42] ---**
Wait, Rika-*chan*--
**[09:46] ---**
Frickin' Mion...
**[09:55] ---**
Here.
**[09:57] ---**
O-Oh, sure. Thanks.
**[10:00] ---**
Are you free after school?
**[10:02] ---**
Yeah. You wanna go after
that Kenta-*kun* statue, right?
**[10:05] ---**
Thanks, Keiichi-*kun*! I get to take him home!
**[10:13] ---**
My kyute wittle Kenta-*kun*!
**[10:17] ---**
You sure you should be carrying that
around out in the open?
**[10:20] ---**
Yeah, it's fine!
**[10:23] ---**
It looks heavy. Want me to ca--
**[10:25] ---**
It's fine.
**[10:29] ---**
Okay.
**[10:31] ---**
Let's get this started! Today's the day!
**[10:34] ---**
Yay!
**[10:43] ---**
Just you wait, Kenta-*kun*!
Keiichi-*kun*'s gonna get you outta there!
**[10:57] ---**
I'm all fired up now!
**[11:00] ---**
We're bringin' ya home today, Colonel!
**[11:21] ---**
Huh?
**[11:27] ---**
What's wrong?
**[11:29] ---**
Oh, nothing...
**[12:00] ---**
Okay, Rena! Pull on the count of three!
**[12:03] ---**
Got it!
**[12:04] ---**
One, two, three!
**[12:12] ---**
Kenta-*kun*, Kenta-*kun*! He's sooo kyute!
**[12:15] ---**
Boy, he's really beat up.
**[12:18] ---**
We'd better be careful,
or his limbs'll fall off--
**[12:21] ---**
I hear one of his arms is still missing.
**[12:27] ---**
How're we gonna get him home, Re--
**[12:51] ---**
Rena?
**[12:54] ---**
I saw something really cool over there!
**[12:57] ---**
--What?
--We're gonna carry Kenta-*kun* home, right?
**[12:59] ---**
Oh, right.
**[13:01] ---**
Lemme go get something!
**[13:19] ---**
Okay, let's haul him back to your place.
Don't want it to get dark on us.
**[13:23] ---**
Good idea!
**[13:25] ---**
"Friday, June 17th"
**[13:28] ---**
You went over to Rena-*san*'s house?!
**[13:32] ---**
What'd you think, Kei-*chan*?
**[13:33] ---**
Incredible, isn't it?
**[13:35] ---**
It was nothing special. Right? Right?
**[13:39] ---**
The frog from the drugstore,
the statue from in front of the cake shop,
**[13:42] ---**
the flying elephant that sits on top of
that department store, et cetera...
**[13:45] ---**
I'll admit that those are all pretty cute.
**[13:50] ---**
But a mailbox?! How's that "kyute"?!
**[13:52] ---**
'Cause it's big and red!
**[13:57] ---**
I'm back.
**[14:01] ---**
Boy, what prank did you pull
to get called to the teacher's office?
**[14:04] ---**
How rude! Rika isn't a hoodlum
like you, Keiichi-*san*!
**[14:09] ---**
Rika-*chan* is helping out with Watanagashi.
**[14:13] ---**
Watanagashi?
**[14:14] ---**
I told you about the festival coming up, right?
The Watanagashi festival?
**[14:19] ---**
Oh, yeah, now that you mention it...
**[14:20] ---**
We show gratitude for old futons
by floating their cotton down the river.
**[14:28] ---**
That sounds pretty boring.
**[14:29] ---**
It's not boring at all!
We've got big plans this year!
**[14:32] ---**
The hallmark of our club,
the Watanagashi Four-Demon Battle Royale!
**[14:35] ---**
What kind of name is that?
**[14:37] ---**
Though I guess it'll be a Five-Demon
Battle Royale with Keiichi joining us.
**[14:42] ---**
You'll have the sublime opportunity
to demonstrate all you've learned with us!
**[14:47] ---**
Which means we'll be going around
the festival stalls and playing club games.
**[14:52] ---**
Is that it?
**[14:54] ---**
Well, now I'm getting kinda excited for it!
**[15:01] ---**
Oh? Hello again, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[15:04] ---**
Hello.
**[15:06] ---**
Hey there, Tomitake! Snap any good ones today?
**[15:09] ---**
Oh, a couple.
**[15:13] ---**
You know him?
**[15:14] ---**
Eh, kinda?
**[15:16] ---**
Tomitake-*san* comes by the village
pretty often to take pictures of birds.
**[15:19] ---**
So everyone in Hinamizawa knows who he is.
**[15:23] ---**
Are you staying for Watanagashi?
**[15:26] ---**
Sure am. I'll head back to Tokyo
after I cover the festival.
**[15:31] ---**
I hope you'll get your own photo exhibit soon!
**[15:34] ---**
Maybe one day.
**[15:36] ---**
Okay, I'd better get going.
**[15:39] ---**
I'll see you three at the festival!
**[15:42] ---**
Does he really come here
just to take pictures of birds?
**[15:47] ---**
Why do you ask?
**[15:48] ---**
I dunno, I feel like he comes
to Hinamizawa for some other reason...
**[15:53] ---**
Damn, you picked up on that fast, Kei-*chan*!
**[15:55] ---**
So I was right! What's the scoop?
**[15:57] ---**
Photography's just an excuse.
**[15:59] ---**
Rumor goes that he's really here for
the young, unmarried women.
**[16:04] ---**
--What?
--But he's kind of shy and awkward,
so he hasn't had much luck in that department.
**[16:08] ---**
Sometimes, the villagers will ask him
to take photos for them, too.
**[16:12] ---**
Is that it?
**[16:13] ---**
Man, I'm sorry. I totally thought
Tomitake-*san* was some suspicious guy.
**[16:17] ---**
Suspicious how?
**[16:19] ---**
Like, he just acts all mysterious...
**[16:23] ---**
I thought he was some kind of detective or spy.
**[16:27] ---**
God, knowing Tomitake,
he'd be the worst spy ever!
**[16:33] ---**
Guess I was just overthinking things.
**[16:38] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[16:47] ---**
I had no idea there were
this many people in Hinamizawa.
**[16:50] ---**
Well, Watanagashi is special.
**[16:52] ---**
So we're gonna hit up all the stalls?
**[16:55] ---**
I'm not going down without a fight!
**[16:57] ---**
Same here! Let's give it our all!
**[17:00] ---**
My goodness, you're late!
**[17:02] ---**
Making a lady wait is low,
even for a brute like you, Keiichi-*san*!
**[17:06] ---**
Sorry.
**[17:08] ---**
So where's this lady I've been so cruel to?
**[17:10] ---**
I beg your pardon?!
**[17:16] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[17:18] ---**
Sh-She's so kyute! I wanna take her home!
**[17:22] ---**
Good evening, everyone.
**[17:25] ---**
Good evening, Keiichi.
**[17:27] ---**
Hey! You look great.
**[17:29] ---**
Thank you!
**[17:32] ---**
Rika-*chan* plays a really
important role in the festival.
**[17:36] ---**
That explains the outfit.
**[17:38] ---**
My work's only at the end of the festival,
**[17:40] ---**
so we can go have fun together!
**[17:43] ---**
Which is why we can't be
wasting any of our precious time!
**[17:46] ---**
That's right!
**[17:47] ---**
Okay, then, let's kick off the Watanagashi
Five-Demon Battle Royale!
**[17:51] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:53] ---**
"Takoyaki"
**[17:59] ---**
"Shaved Ice"
It can't taste good that way...
**[18:07] ---**
"Cotton Candy"
It can't taste good that way...
**[18:12] ---**
It can't taste good that way...
**[18:20] ---**
Hey there, kids. You look like
you're having a good time.
**[18:25] ---**
Good evening, though I must say!
**[18:28] ---**
Photographing a lady without permission
**[18:30] ---**
is quite the breach of etiquette!
**[18:32] ---**
That's right, though I don't know
why he'd need *your* permiss--
**[18:38] ---**
Hey, Tomitake, are you gonna take
pictures of Rika-*chan*'s performance?
**[18:42] ---**
That was the plan, but something else came up.
**[18:46] ---**
Hooking up with that girlfriend of yours?
**[18:48] ---**
Getting bold tonight, aren'tcha?
**[18:52] ---**
Oh, jeez...
**[18:53] ---**
Next time you come to Hinamizawa,
you should come play games with us.
**[18:58] ---**
I'll take you up on that someday, promise.
**[19:01] ---**
I'd better go.
**[19:05] ---**
Tomitake.
**[19:11] ---**
What is it, Rika-*chan*?
**[19:18] ---**
Thanks, Rika-*chan*.
**[19:28] ---**
I should go, too. I've got a job to do.
**[19:31] ---**
Do give it your all up there!
**[19:34] ---**
Perhaps we should head out as well!
**[19:37] ---**
Let's go watch Rika-*chan* strut her stuff.
**[19:40] ---**
Wait, where's Rena?
**[19:42] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Mii-*chan*! Help!
**[19:46] ---**
The heck is she doing over there?
**[19:48] ---**
Here, you go help out Rena.
**[19:52] ---**
I've got my hands full with Satoko.
**[19:54] ---**
How rude! Are you implying
that I'm a burden, Mion-*san*?!
**[19:58] ---**
Ow, ow! Could you please not pull my arm off?!
**[20:03] ---**
Sheesh.
**[20:05] ---**
Help, Keiichi-*kun*...
**[20:08] ---**
You're gonna get left behind.
**[20:10] ---**
I, uh...
**[20:15] ---**
C'mon, let's go.
**[20:16] ---**
O-Okay!
**[20:36] ---**
Over here!
**[20:44] ---**
Have a nice moment with Rena?
**[20:46] ---**
You little...
**[21:08] ---**
What's that thing she's holding?
**[21:09] ---**
A ceremonial farm hoe.

*I've always felt your joy*
**[01:25] ---**
*I've always felt your tears*

*No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me*
**[01:36] ---**
*The one and only answer*
**[01:39] ---**
*The door I was searching for*
**[01:43] ---**
*Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me*

*Something engulfed in the bright light*

--C'mon, let's go, Satoko!
--How many times must I tell you
not to treat me like a child?!
**[02:18] ---**
We should go, too, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[02:20] ---**
What's happening now?
**[02:22] ---**
It's time for the cotton drifting!
**[02:35] ---**
Cotton?
**[02:38] ---**
Since this is your first time,
you can just copy me.
**[02:50] ---**
You repeat those movements
while giving thanks to Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[02:55] ---**
Who's Oyashiro-*sama*?
**[02:56] ---**
It's the guardian deity of Hinamizawa.
**[02:58] ---**
That's why it's really important
to pay your respects to it.
**[03:02] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[03:05] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[03:07] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*...
**[03:26] ---**
And that's it!
**[03:28] ---**
We should probably go meet up
with Mion and the gang.
**[03:30] ---**
Yeah. I'll go find them! They've gotta be close.
**[03:34] ---**
Hey, Rena!
**[03:35] ---**
It's okay, I got it!
**[03:40] ---**
Sheesh...
**[03:49] ---**
Tomitake-*sa*--
**[03:54] ---**
Wouldn't want to interrupt.
**[04:05] ---**
"Monday, June 20th"

"Restroom"
**[04:13] ---**
Maebara-*kun*.
**[04:15] ---**
Chie-*sensei*? What is it?
**[04:17] ---**
A visitor is here to see you
at the school entrance.
**[04:20] ---**
A visitor? For me?
**[04:26] ---**
Maebara-*san*, I presume?
Keiichi Maebara-*san*?
**[04:29] ---**
Yeah, that's me. And you are...?
**[04:32] ---**
--Sure is hot out here.
--What?
**[04:35] ---**
I've got air conditioning in my car.
Why don't we talk in there?
**[04:40] ---**
Uh...
**[04:41] ---**
Don't worry, I don't bite.
**[04:43] ---**
"Gifu Prefecture Police"
Don't worry, I don't bite.
**[04:46] ---**
Tell me if it's too cold, all right?
**[04:48] ---**
I like it cold, so I'll end up
blasting it if you don't.
**[04:52] ---**
So what did you want from me?
**[04:55] ---**
What can you tell me about this man?
**[04:59] ---**
Tomitake-*san*?
**[05:01] ---**
So you *do* know him?
**[05:02] ---**
What of it?
**[05:04] ---**
He was seen speaking with you
and your friends last night at the festival.
**[05:11] ---**
Do you know this woman?
**[05:15] ---**
I don't know her name,
but she was with Tomitake-*san*.
**[05:19] ---**
When's the last time you saw them?
**[05:22] ---**
I saw them right at the end of the festival.
**[05:24] ---**
I didn't talk to them, though.
**[05:26] ---**
Did you notice anything strange
about them? Anything at all?
**[05:32] ---**
Why? Did something happen to them?
**[05:36] ---**
Before I tell you, let me ask you a question.
**[05:42] ---**
Maebara-*san*, do you believe in curses?
**[05:46] ---**
Curses? Why the heck
would I believe in curses?
**[05:49] ---**
That's what I'd hoped to hear.
You're a city kid, after all.
**[05:54] ---**
Why's that important?!
**[05:56] ---**
You see, there are plenty of people
around here who do believe in curses...
**[06:00] ---**
And in Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[06:02] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*?
**[06:04] ---**
You repeat those movements
while giving thanks to Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[06:11] ---**
It all started four years ago,
**[06:13] ---**
when the construction manager
of the Hinamizawa Dam project
**[06:19] ---**
was murdered and dismembered
by six construction workers.
**[06:25] ---**
"Construction Worker Lynched,
Murdered, and Dismembered
at Hinamizawa Dam Construction Site"
**[06:26] ---**
The murder...
**[06:28] ---**
They caught five of them,
but never found the main culprit,
**[06:31] ---**
and both him and the victim's
right arm are still missing.
**[06:36] ---**
And you're saying that's because
of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse?!
**[06:39] ---**
That was only the beginning, Maebara-*san*.
**[06:42] ---**
Huh?
**[06:43] ---**
The year after, a man from Hinamizawa
who had supported the dam project
**[06:47] ---**
was swept away by water rapids
and drowned while on vacation.
**[06:53] ---**
His wife went missing, too.
**[06:55] ---**
Most think she drowned with him,
but they never found her body.
**[07:01] ---**
The year after that, the Shinto priest
at the shrine died from a sudden illness.
**[07:07] ---**
That same day,
his wife drowned herself in the bog.
**[07:11] ---**
He got sick and she killed herself?
**[07:14] ---**
The next year--we're at last year, now--
**[07:17] ---**
a woman was found beaten to death.
**[07:22] ---**
So just because someone died every year
for four years, they're saying it's a curse?
**[07:26] ---**
It's gotta be coinci--
**[07:27] ---**
Maebara-*san*.
**[07:29] ---**
Maebara-*san*, it's more than just coincidence.
**[07:33] ---**
These four incidents all took place on
the day of the Watanagashi festival.
**[07:38] ---**
On the same day, every year.
**[07:43] ---**
Every year, someone died...
**[07:45] ---**
That's why the people of Hinamizawa,
deep down in their hearts,
**[07:51] ---**
believe someone will die from Oyashiro-*sama*'s
curse on the day of Watanagashi.
**[07:57] ---**
Then did that happen this year?
**[07:59] ---**
The man and woman in those photos...
**[08:01] ---**
...have been missing since last night.
**[08:05] ---**
The police are doing everything
they can to find them,
**[08:09] ---**
but we have no clues about where they went
after they were seen at the festival.
**[08:14] ---**
But they're just missing, right?
**[08:17] ---**
Maybe they're just alone
together somewhere...
**[08:19] ---**
The car belonging to the woman,
Takano-*san*, is still parked in the festival lot.
**[08:26] ---**
We also found Tomitake-*san*'s bicycle.
You know the one.
**[08:33] ---**
We believe the two of them were
involved in some sort of incident.
**[08:37] ---**
We're doing our best to gather
information for the case, but, well...
**[08:43] ---**
The villagers are tight-lipped about
anything to do with Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[08:49] ---**
That's why you're asking me?
**[08:51] ---**
At this rate, everyone will accept that
Jiro Tomitake-*san* and Miyo Takano-*san*
**[08:55] ---**
were merely casualties
of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[08:59] ---**
Casualties of a curse? That's ridiculous.
**[09:02] ---**
I agree. There's no such thing
as divine punishment or curses!
**[09:07] ---**
Sorry.
**[09:10] ---**
In any case, that's why I need your help--
because you don't believe in curses.
**[09:15] ---**
Please, do it for them.
**[09:18] ---**
Sure, but I don't know how I can help you.
**[09:21] ---**
Just tell me if you see or hear
anything strange or suspicious.
**[09:28] ---**
Here's my phone number.
**[09:33] ---**
Don't tell anyone we spoke today.
**[09:37] ---**
Not a word to anyone, okay?
**[09:39] ---**
Okay.
**[09:40] ---**
Especially...
**[09:41] ---**
...not Mion Sonozaki,
or any of your friends, all right?
**[09:47] ---**
B-But why?! Are you saying they
had something to do with this?!
**[09:50] ---**
Not at all.
**[09:52] ---**
We just don't know who
might be involved with this.
**[09:57] ---**
So I don't want anyone in Hinamizawa
finding out about our little chat.
**[10:02] ---**
How about we put it this way?
**[10:05] ---**
Keep it secret so we don't hurt people
who want to believe it's a curse.
**[10:10] ---**
How's that sound?
**[10:14] ---**
Sure, mister, uh...
**[10:16] ---**
Ooishi, from the Okinomiya Police.
**[10:19] ---**
You can call me Kura-*chan* if you like.
**[10:22] ---**
Okay, Ooishi-*san*.
**[10:25] ---**
I'll see you again soon, Maebara-*san*.
**[10:40] ---**
The victim was killed in
the lounge with the rope!
**[10:46] ---**
That's right!
**[10:47] ---**
You're quite good at this!
**[10:49] ---**
So whodunit?
**[10:51] ---**
The murderer was... Mii-*chan*!
**[10:53] ---**
"Rena"
**[10:55] ---**
Wrong!
**[10:59] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, you're late!
**[11:02] ---**
I'll have you know I am absolutely seething!
**[11:05] ---**
Oh, sorry. I got called to the teacher's office.
**[11:08] ---**
Did you get in trouble for something?
**[11:12] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[11:14] ---**
Man, this game was getting so heated,
I totally forgot you were gone, Kei-*chan*.
**[11:19] ---**
Okay, Rena's got the lowest score,
so she faces the penalty for losing today!
**[11:24] ---**
And Kei-*chan*, too.
**[11:25] ---**
Why me?!
**[11:26] ---**
Absconding from battle
is quite the horrific crime!
**[11:29] ---**
Resign yourself to your fate!
**[11:30] ---**
Dang it... What's the penalty today?
**[11:34] ---**
You've gotta run errands for us!
**[11:37] ---**
Go buy the stuff on this list.
**[11:41] ---**
"Tofu, mirin, sugar, *aburaage*"
Tofu, mirin...
**[11:44] ---**
This is just stuff you need to buy!
**[11:46] ---**

the penalty, no matter what!
**[12:00] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:06] ---**
"Tuesday, June 21st"
**[12:13] ---**
That's a big yawn, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:16] ---**
I was up late last night watching TV.
**[12:19] ---**
What about lunch?
**[12:20] ---**
I'm gonna take a nap instead...
**[12:23] ---**
My, my, you didn't think I'd
let this chance slip by me?
**[12:27] ---**
Mess with me and I'll be mad.
**[12:29] ---**
Like, really mad.
**[12:32] ---**
Well, that takes all the fun out of it.
**[12:35] ---**
Huh? Since when?
**[12:38] ---**
They were missing the whole day after.
**[12:41] ---**
Which means it happened
the night of Watanagashi.
**[12:43] ---**
So... to both of them?
**[12:46] ---**
No idea, but it really seems
like it's this year's curse...
**[12:51] ---**
If it was Oyashiro-*sama*...
**[12:53] ---**
Then maybe, but...
**[12:55] ---**
They might've actually been demoned away...
**[13:06] ---**
Demoned away?
**[13:08] ---**
What's that mean?
**[13:12] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Hello.
**[13:15] ---**
Ooishi-*san*...
**[13:16] ---**
Good timing. Take a little drive
with me, will you?
**[13:26] ---**
Here you go, sir!
**[13:34] ---**
You like this place?
**[13:35] ---**
Oh, uh, well...
**[13:38] ---**
Everyone loves coming here.
**[13:40] ---**
Not for the food, though--
for the eye candy!
**[13:44] ---**
Um, Ooishi-*san*?
**[13:48] ---**
Do you know what "demoned away" means?
**[13:52] ---**
It's something you hear around these parts.
**[13:55] ---**
It means to get stolen away
by a demon and disappear.
**[14:00] ---**
It's similar to being spirited away.
**[14:03] ---**
Spirited away...
**[14:04] ---**
You know, long ago,
people were afraid of Hinamizawa.
**[14:07] ---**
They believed that demons lived there.
**[14:12] ---**
Demons? You mean, like, from Hell?
**[14:14] ---**
More like the kind that eat people alive.
**[14:17] ---**
There are plenty of ancient legends
that tell scary stories...
**[14:21] ---**
...about monsters that saunter into
the village and devour people.
**[14:25] ---**
Why are you asking about that?
**[14:27] ---**
I heard Rena and Mion talking.
**[14:30] ---**
They said it if was Oyashiro-*sama*,
then they got "demoned away"...
**[14:34] ---**
I told you about that first incident, yes?
**[14:37] ---**
Yeah, that one of the murderers
was still on the run?
**[14:41] ---**
What if, hypothetically, he's not on the run,
**[14:44] ---**
but was actually "demoned away"?
**[14:47] ---**
Huh?
**[14:47] ---**
The year after, only the man's body was found.
The woman's is still missing.
**[14:53] ---**
But in the third year,
we know two people died, right?
**[14:57] ---**
It's the same deal with that one, Maebara-*san*.
**[15:00] ---**
All they found were
her suicide note and her sandals.
**[15:03] ---**
So what about last year,
when that woman was beaten to death?
**[15:07] ---**
They caught the guy.
A good-for-nothing hooked on narcotics.
**[15:11] ---**
But a while after he was arrested,
a child under the victim's care went missing.
**[15:17] ---**
Huh? But you caught the guy who killed her!
**[15:19] ---**
What does that disappearance
have to do with the "curse"?
**[15:21] ---**
I'll tell you. The guy died
while in police custody.
**[15:29] ---**
Slit his own throat like this.
**[15:33] ---**
So every year, there's always someone who dies,
and someone who goes missing?
**[15:39] ---**
That's right.
**[15:41] ---**
Why didn't Rena and Mion tell me?
**[15:45] ---**
Did anything happen at the build site?
Like an accident, or an incident...
**[15:51] ---**
I don't know.
**[15:53] ---**
Rena...
**[15:54] ---**
Maybe they didn't want to make you worry.
**[15:57] ---**
That, or they didn't want to scare you.
**[15:59] ---**
Huh?
**[16:01] ---**
If every year, someone gets cursed,
and someone gets demoned away...
**[16:05] ---**
Then this year,
we're still technically waiting...
**[16:08] ---**
...for someone to fall to the "curse," right?
**[16:13] ---**
"Wednesday, June 22"
**[16:16] ---**
Your dad's an artist, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[16:19] ---**
Yeah. Every room of our house is slowly
getting swallowed up into his studio.
**[16:24] ---**
I wanna see! I bet I'll find something kyute!
**[16:32] ---**
Hey, Rena.
**[16:33] ---**
You guys aren't lying to me or
hiding stuff from me, right?
**[16:37] ---**
Huh? Of course not.
**[16:41] ---**
That's not true.
**[16:42] ---**
What do you mean, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[16:44] ---**
I know you're hiding stuff from me!
**[16:46] ---**
Okay, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[16:48] ---**
Then are you lying about anything
or hiding anything from me?
**[16:52] ---**
Huh?
**[16:53] ---**
You're not lying or hiding anything, right?
You're not, right?
**[16:58] ---**
I'm not lying or hiding anything from you.
**[17:00] ---**
--You're lying.
--Why do you think I'm lying?
**[17:02] ---**
I know what you did.
**[17:04] ---**
You hid something from me
at the trash heap, right?
**[17:08] ---**
--No, I--
--When you skipped club,
**[17:11] ---**
you didn't *really* go to the teacher's office.
**[17:14] ---**
--How do you--
--You were talking with an older man in his car.
**[17:19] ---**
Who was he?
**[17:20] ---**
I-I don't know who he was.
**[17:22] ---**
Why would a stranger want to
talk to you, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[17:25] ---**
I-I don't know, either!
**[17:27] ---**
Well, what did you talk about?
**[17:29] ---**
Nothing to do with any of you--
**[17:31] ---**
You're lying!
**[17:35] ---**
I did everything right. I worked really hard.
**[17:37] ---**
Huh?
**[17:38] ---**
Some people have to work really,
really hard to be happy, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[17:44] ---**
I worked really hard.
**[17:46] ---**
I gave it everything I had
for a really, really long time.
**[17:55] ---**
You've got stuff you wanna hide,
**[17:58] ---**
and so do I, mmkay?
**[18:02] ---**
Let's go. It's getting kinda chilly.
**[18:14] ---**
Keiichi!
**[18:19] ---**
You've got a call from the bookstore.
**[18:22] ---**
The bookstore?
**[18:24] ---**
This is Keiichi.
**[18:26] ---**
Sorry to call you so late.
**[18:28] ---**
This is Ooishi from the Okinomiya Police.
**[18:32] ---**
Ooishi-*san*?
**[18:34] ---**
Sorry for the lie, too.
**[18:35] ---**
When your parents picked up,
I had to pretend I was from the bookstore.
**[18:40] ---**
Hold on a sec.
**[18:43] ---**
Here's the thing.
**[18:44] ---**
After we spoke earlier, I did a bit of digging.
**[18:51] ---**
Digging into what?
**[18:52] ---**
Into your friend Reina Ryugu.
**[18:55] ---**
It's an incredibly boring story,
so tell me if it bores you, and I'll stop.
**[19:03] ---**
I want to hear it.
**[19:05] ---**
Ryugu-*san* lived in the suburbs of
Ibaraki prefecture up until last year.
**[19:09] ---**
Yeah, I know she'd only just moved here.
**[19:13] ---**
I looked further into that.
**[19:15] ---**
You see, just before she moved here,
she was suspended from her school.
**[19:22] ---**
Apparently, she went around her school
breaking all the glass windows.
**[19:26] ---**
Rena really did that?!
**[19:27] ---**
She was diagnosed with dysautonomia,
**[19:30] ---**
was given neurological medication
and underwent counseling.
**[19:35] ---**
I discovered something in the notes
her counselor took during these sessions...
**[19:40] ---**
...and there was one thing
she brought up numerous times.
**[19:47] ---**
What was it?
**[19:48] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[19:51] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[19:54] ---**
She said it was a spirit
that visited her every night,
**[19:58] ---**
standing next to her pillow
and staring down on her.
**[20:04] ---**
Rena never lived in Hinamizawa before.
Why was she bringing it up?
**[20:09] ---**
That's the thing. I found something
in their residency record.
**[20:14] ---**
The Ryugu family is from Hinamizawa.
**[20:18] ---**
They moved out of the village right after
she finished elementary school.
**[20:22] ---**
Rena's from Hinamizawa...
**[20:25] ---**
Maebara-*san*, are you all right?
**[20:27] ---**
Should we stop here for tonight?
**[20:31] ---**
Keiichi! Open up, will ya?
**[20:34] ---**
Sorry, my dad's calling me.
**[20:36] ---**
We'll stop here, then.
**[20:38] ---**
If you hear anything, give me a call. Goodbye.
**[20:44] ---**
Keiichi, c'mon, open up! My hands are full!
**[20:52] ---**
Huh? What's all that for?
**[20:54] ---**
Don't play coy with me, Keiichi!
**[20:57] ---**
Seriously, what are you talking about?
**[20:59] ---**
Rena-*chan*'s here, isn't she?
**[21:01] ---**
Rena? She's not here.
**[21:03] ---**
C'mon, you don't gotta lie to me.
**[21:05] ---**
She came here to hang with you, right?
**[21:10] ---**
Did you see her?
**[21:12] ---**
Yeah, I told her to head upstairs to your room.
**[21:16] ---**
When was that?
**[21:18] ---**
A couple minutes after you got that call?
**[21:26] ---**
Keiichi? Keiichi!
**[21:32] ---**
Rena came here.
**[21:39] ---**
My dad told her where my room is.
**[21:51] ---**
She heard me talking to Ooishi-*san*.
**[22:19] ---**
*Wind gently flowing through my hair,

"Thursday, June 23rd"
**[02:30] ---**
Keiichi! You need to get up!
**[02:42] ---**
What's wrong? You look awful.
**[02:45] ---**
I think I've got a fever.
Might've caught a cold.
**[02:48] ---**
Oh, no.
**[02:49] ---**
How do you feel? Well enough for school?
**[02:53] ---**
I bet that's Rena-*chan*.
**[02:55] ---**
She must've come to get you
'cause you're running late.
**[02:59] ---**
You'd better get ready
if you want to go to school.
**[03:01] ---**
Sorry, I'm gonna stay home.
**[03:04] ---**
Okay. I'll go tell Rena-*chan*, then.
**[03:09] ---**
If you're not feeling good,
you need to go to the clinic.
**[03:12] ---**
Okay.
**[03:19] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
**[03:29] ---**
Um, excuse me?
**[03:32] ---**
Sorry, sir, but the clinic
is currently being remodeled.
**[03:35] ---**
Huh? You're remodeling?
**[03:36] ---**
They'll be shut down for a while.
You'll need to head to another clinic.
**[03:42] ---**
Okay.
**[03:55] ---**
It's not like there are
other clinics near here, though...
**[04:02] ---**
Kei-*chan*! Glad you're still alive!
**[04:05] ---**
Why are you acting
like I'm dying or something?
**[04:08] ---**
'Cause of what Rena said.
**[04:10] ---**
"Keiichi-*kun*'s really sick! I'm so, so worried!"
**[04:14] ---**
I-I never said that!
**[04:17] ---**
I mean, I *was* worried...
**[04:20] ---**
Are you feeling better, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[04:23] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:24] ---**
A mere cold delaying your arrival
is shameful, even for you, Keiichi-*san*!
**[04:28] ---**
You know what they say about morons and colds.
Bet *you've* never caught one.
**[04:32] ---**
Of course not!
**[04:34] ---**
I'm not a sickly weakling, unlike you!
**[04:38] ---**
Poor, sick Keiichi, and poor, poor Satoko!
**[04:41] ---**
Why am I pitiful, too?!
**[04:44] ---**
Oh yeah, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[04:48] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?
**[04:49] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[04:51] ---**
I was spaced out there. Must be the fever.
**[04:56] ---**
C'mon, Kei-*chan*! You sure you're feeling okay?
**[05:00] ---**
I'm still a little under the weather,
that's all. Don't worry.
**[05:03] ---**
Well, okay...
**[05:05] ---**
Guess we'll hold off on club for a bit, then.
**[05:12] ---**
Keiichi?
**[05:15] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[05:19] ---**
What's up?
**[05:20] ---**
I've never seen you by yourself at lunchtime.
Usually you're with Satoko.
**[05:24] ---**
I wanted to talk to you one-on-one.
**[05:27] ---**
What about?
**[05:28] ---**
Keiichi...
**[05:30] ---**
Is there anything that's
worrying you or bothering you?
**[05:34] ---**
Huh?
**[05:38] ---**
Why're you asking that out of the blue?
**[05:40] ---**
Is there, though?
**[05:42] ---**
I can tell you're really
worried about something, Keiichi.
**[05:46] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[05:48] ---**
I want you to tell me about it.
**[05:53] ---**
Sometimes, Rena...
**[05:57] ---**
...is kinda scary.
**[05:58] ---**
Are you afraid of Rena?
**[06:01] ---**
I know it sounds weird.
**[06:02] ---**
She's my friend,
and I care about her a lot, but I just...
**[06:08] ---**
Sometimes, when she looks at me,
her eyes look so creepy...
**[06:11] ---**
It just freaks me out.
**[06:13] ---**
--You're lying.
--Huh?!
**[06:15] ---**
If she said that to you,
it should've been a one-time thing.
**[06:21] ---**
Maybe you were just a little tired
when she said that.
**[06:24] ---**
Or maybe you're just making
a mountain out of a molehill.
**[06:29] ---**
You guys aren't lying to me
or hiding stuff from me, right?
**[06:34] ---**
You're right. It was really horrible of me
to doubt my own friends...
**[06:39] ---**
Maybe, when you feel afraid of Rena,
**[06:44] ---**
you shouldn't doubt Rena, but yourself.
**[06:49] ---**
Myself?
**[06:57] ---**
Thanks, Rika-*chan*. I feel a little better now.
**[07:01] ---**
I know you can win, Keiichi!
**[07:03] ---**
Chin up, okay?
**[07:10] ---**
I'm home.
**[07:17] ---**
Mom?
**[07:22] ---**
Dad's not here, either...
**[07:30] ---**
"Weekly News"
"Construction Worker Lynched,
Murdered, and Dismembered
at Hinamizawa Dam Construction Site"
**[07:35] ---**
Did anything happen at the build site?
**[07:39] ---**
Like an accident, or an incident...
**[07:42] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s right.
**[07:45] ---**
If Rena was born here in Hinamizawa,
**[07:47] ---**
she wouldn't want to talk about
a grisly murder in her hometown...
**[07:54] ---**
But I still pressed her about it
and accused her of hiding stuff from me...
**[08:00] ---**
Of course that'd make her feel uncomfortable.
**[08:03] ---**
Yeah! That has to be it!
**[08:05] ---**
Hell, when I took that call from Ooishi-*san*...
**[08:08] ---**
She came up to my door,
heard I was on the phone,
**[08:12] ---**
and left so she wouldn't interrupt!
**[08:15] ---**
I just imagined seeing her staring in at me.
She wasn't even there!
**[08:24] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:38] ---**
Hello?
**[08:39] ---**
Keiichi? It's Mom.
**[08:41] ---**
Huh?
**[08:42] ---**
How are you feeling?
Did you go to the clinic?
**[08:45] ---**
Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better.
**[08:47] ---**
That's good!
**[08:49] ---**
So your Dad and I have to run
into Tokyo for some work stuff.
**[08:56] ---**
--When are you leaving?
--Oh, we're already there.
**[08:58] ---**
Huh?
**[09:00] ---**
We'll be back tomorrow night.
**[09:02] ---**
Will you be okay till then?
**[09:04] ---**
Don't worry, I won't die on you.
**[09:06] ---**
Okay. I've made arrangements for food,
so don't worry about cooking.
**[09:10] ---**
What's that mean?
**[09:11] ---**
She should be bringing over
dinner pretty soon.
**[09:14] ---**
Who's *she*?!
**[09:15] ---**
Who do you think? Rena-*chan*!
**[09:53] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Let me in, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[09:56] ---**
R-Rena?
**[09:58] ---**
Your mom called me, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[10:01] ---**
She told me to bring you dinner.
**[10:04] ---**
R-Really? That's news to me...
**[10:09] ---**
I made a lot so we could eat
dinner together, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[10:13] ---**
C'mon, open up. Let me in.
**[10:18] ---**
I dunno if I can eat that much.
**[10:21] ---**
The fever's killing my appetite.
**[10:25] ---**
It's really yummy.
**[10:27] ---**
And it's full of nutrients,
just what you need to beat that cold.
**[10:31] ---**
That sounds great.
**[10:36] ---**
C'mon, don't be mean.
Just let me in, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[10:40] ---**
Open the door.
**[10:43] ---**
Right...
**[10:48] ---**
Why?
**[10:49] ---**
Why am I still so unsure?
**[10:54] ---**
Why are you being so mean to me? Why?
**[10:59] ---**
Remember what Rika-*chan* said.
**[11:01] ---**
I'm the one making Rena out to be
some monster. I know this now!
**[11:30] ---**
Rena?!
**[11:31] ---**
I know you can win, Keiichi!
**[11:33] ---**
Chin up, okay?
**[11:41] ---**
I'm...
**[11:57] ---**
You finally let me in!
**[12:03] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:09] ---**
A-Are you that hungry?! Are you?!
**[12:19] ---**
Thank you for letting me in.
**[12:21] ---**
Make yourself at home.
**[12:23] ---**
Nobody's here right now, anyway.
**[12:25] ---**
No one's here? I'm all alone with Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:32] ---**
Jeez, you sure brought
a whole truckload of food.
**[12:35] ---**
How many people were you planning on feeding?
**[12:38] ---**
I was so worried about you not
having anything to eat, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[12:41] ---**
Well, I'm glad you're here.
**[12:43] ---**
I'd be eating instant noodles for dinner
if you hadn't come by.
**[12:47] ---**
I'll get everything ready.
Can I use your kitchen?
**[12:50] ---**
Sure, but lemme help.
**[12:52] ---**
It's okay! I'll handle it myself.
**[12:54] ---**
You go watch some TV, okay?
**[12:57] ---**
If you're sure.
**[12:58] ---**
The kitchen's over there.
Use whatever you need in there.
**[13:02] ---**
Thanks!
**[13:07] ---**
Longsword!
**[13:12] ---**
--Thank you so much!
--You must be good friends with my mom
if she's asking you to do this for me.
**[13:14] ---**
--You must be good friends with my mom
if she's asking you to do this for me.
**[13:19] ---**
Uh-huh. We always run into
each other at the grocery store.
**[13:27] ---**
"Quiz Oaks"
Grocery store? You mean the Seven Mart?
**[13:30] ---**
I go there all the time,
but I've never run into you there.
**[13:37] ---**
I've seen you there before
buying instant noodles.
**[13:42] ---**
You like ginger pork flavor, right?
**[13:52] ---**
Really? If you saw me there,
then you should've said hi.
**[13:57] ---**
Okay, next question--
**[13:58] ---**
Any clues as to who killed
and dismembered the victim?
**[14:04] ---**
Hey, Rena? I've gotta apologize to you...
**[14:09] ---**
Apologize for what? For what?
**[14:11] ---**
I said some stuff to
make you mad the other day...
**[14:17] ---**
I realize now it's something
you didn't want to talk about,
**[14:21] ---**
so of course that'd make you
feel uncomfortable.
**[14:23] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[14:25] ---**
You know, at the trash heap,
when I asked about that murder...
**[14:34] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:41] ---**
I have to protect my dad.
**[14:44] ---**
I have to protect my family.
**[14:47] ---**
I'll kill you, and I'll disappear.
**[14:51] ---**
Yeah, that's it!
**[14:52] ---**
That's who Oyashiro-*sama* will curse this year.
**[14:57] ---**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[15:01] ---**
You're gonna... what?
**[15:07] ---**
I'm gonna kill you, then I'm gonna be
demoned away and disappear.
**[15:11] ---**
Then my dad can live here in peace.
**[15:14] ---**
Yeah, that's it. That's how it should be.
**[15:23] ---**
Stay back!
**[15:24] ---**
Y'see, I'm already under
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[15:30] ---**
I thought I was forgiven for that
for a little while,
**[15:33] ---**
but it was already too late... That's right.
**[15:37] ---**
Rena! Don't come any closer!
**[15:39] ---**
I've already been cursed...
**[15:42] ---**
...by Oyashiro-*sama*!
**[16:19] ---**
Rena?
**[18:09] ---**
--Keiichi!
--Thank God. I'll go get the doctor!
**[18:14] ---**
Did...
**[18:15] ---**
It's okay, just rest!
**[18:17] ---**
Did I kill... Rena?
**[18:19] ---**
You don't have to think
about anything right now.
**[18:21] ---**
Doctor, come quick! Keiichi's waking up!
**[18:36] ---**
Hello, Maebara-*san*.
Mind if we have a little chat?
**[18:42] ---**
Sure.
**[18:45] ---**
I'll keep it short, Maebara-*san*.
**[18:49] ---**
Could you tell me what happened
at your house that day?
**[18:53] ---**
I'm not sure if I could.
**[18:56] ---**
Are you saying you don't remember, or...?
**[19:01] ---**
I remember.
**[19:02] ---**
I remember everything.
**[19:05] ---**
How it felt to hit her, too...
**[19:10] ---**
But Ooishi-*san*...
**[19:12] ---**
That's why I can't explain it to you!
**[19:15] ---**
I can't even begin to explain to you
how or why this all happened!
**[19:30] ---**
I'll visit again soon. Feel better.
**[19:42] ---**
Long time no see, Kei-*chan*!
How many years has it been?
**[19:47] ---**
Wasn't just two days this time, was it?
**[19:50] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:54] ---**
I wanted to come sooner, but a lot
of other stuff's gone down, too.
**[20:01] ---**
Mion, can I ask you something?
And tell the truth.
**[20:06] ---**
Sure, what?
**[20:07] ---**
What happened to Rena?
**[20:11] ---**
My mom and dad won't tell me.
Nobody wants to tell me.
**[20:17] ---**
They couldn't save Rena.
**[20:21] ---**
It's a miracle they were able
to save *you*, Kei-*chan*!
**[20:27] ---**
But it wasn't just Rena.
**[20:30] ---**
Huh?
**[20:31] ---**
The day after that incident with Rena...
**[20:37] ---**
Rika-*chan* and Satoko were...
**[20:40] ---**
Were what? What happened?!
**[20:42] ---**
Someone went to their house
at the shrine, and...
**[20:47] ---**
...found them both dead.
**[20:50] ---**
They'd been killed with the same knife,
**[20:54] ---**
stabbed in the neck, over and over...
**[20:59] ---**
Why would someone do that
to Rika-*chan* and Satoko...?
**[21:02] ---**
The police think it was either
a murder or a suicide.
**[21:07] ---**
Suicide? Why would they want
to kill themselves?!
**[21:11] ---**
I don't know.
**[21:12] ---**
That's why it's more likely it was
a robbery gone wrong or something...
**[21:21] ---**
Maebara-*san*, it's time for a check-in.
**[21:24] ---**
Okay, I'm gonna head out for today.
**[21:27] ---**
I'll swing by again.
**[21:28] ---**
Thanks, Mion.
**[21:30] ---**
After what happened to everyone else,
you've gotta get better, okay?
**[21:43] ---**
Maebara-*san*.
**[21:45] ---**
I'd like to ask you about
your symptoms before we start.
**[21:49] ---**
What symptoms?
**[21:51] ---**
Does your neck feel itchy at all?
**[21:54] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Hello?
**[00:13] ---**
Morning, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[00:15] ---**
Wake up, sleepyhead! C'mon!
**[00:17] ---**
Rena? Why're you calling me so early?
**[00:19] ---**
G'morning, Kei-*chan*!
**[00:22] ---**
Mion's there, too?! I know what that means...
**[00:25] ---**
You're finally getting how our club works, huh?
**[00:28] ---**
We're meeting up at the usual
place before we head out!
**[00:31] ---**
You're coming, right?
**[00:33] ---**
Hell yeah! You guys ready
for me to kick your butts?
**[00:37] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*, you're late!
**[00:41] ---**
Yeah, sorry 'bout that!
**[00:54] ---**

**[00:55] ---**

My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[00:56] ---**
My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[00:59] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[01:01] ---**
Hey! Morning, guys.
**[01:03] ---**
Wait, is this where we're having club today?!
**[01:07] ---**
The shop holds game tournaments every now
and then to attract customers.
**[01:12] ---**
That means all the guys in here
are gonna play in the tournament?
**[01:16] ---**
That's right! Today, we get to play against
a lot more people than just ourselves!
**[01:23] ---**
So I've gotta beat all of them, too...
**[01:27] ---**
Okay, everyone! Listen up!
**[01:30] ---**
There are 15 of us playing today.
**[01:32] ---**
We'll draw names from a hat
and split into five groups,
**[01:34] ---**
and winners will advance to
the next round, tournament-style.
**[01:46] ---**
Can't believe we all got split up.
What a coincidence.
**[01:51] ---**
Yeah, right.
**[01:52] ---**
What, did you think I'd let any of
our members get eliminated in the first round?
**[01:57] ---**
No idea how you managed this, but okay!
I'll obliterate the competition!
**[02:02] ---**
Let's go kick some butt, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[02:04] ---**
I'll see you all in the finals!
**[02:07] ---**
I'm gonna give it my all, too!
**[02:14] ---**
You guys go to our school, right?
**[02:17] ---**
Yeah, I'm Tomita.
**[02:20] ---**
I'm Okamura.
**[02:21] ---**
Damn, beating these guys is gonna
be a cinch. Luck's on my side!
**[02:27] ---**
All right, guys! Get your games started!
**[02:31] ---**
Let's do this!
**[02:37] ---**
One, two, three, four.
**[02:39] ---**
Collect 5,000 dollars from each player
to celebrate the birth of your child.
**[02:42] ---**
Sorry, guys!
**[02:45] ---**
I get a bonus!
Collect 100,000 dollars from the bank!
**[02:48] ---**
What?! You recovered from that already?!
**[02:51] ---**
Head down the Corporate Ladder Course!
**[02:53] ---**
Crap, that's a really good route!
**[02:56] ---**
This game is completely based on luck...
**[02:59] ---**
What the hell can I do to help me win?!
**[03:03] ---**
--Whoa, no way!
--Are you psychic or something?!
**[03:08] ---**
Have a gander at this!
**[03:09] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[03:12] ---**
That was far too easy.
**[03:14] ---**
H-Holy crap, you won already?!
**[03:17] ---**
Nicely done, Satoko.
**[03:19] ---**
I expected no less of you, either, Mion-*san*.
**[03:21] ---**
You're done, too, Mion?! That fast?!
**[03:24] ---**
Well then, Mion-*san*, shall we go have
some tea while we wait for the others to win?
**[03:30] ---**
Hey, great idea!
**[03:36] ---**
I can't believe it...
**[03:37] ---**
Wait, so how's Rena doing?
**[03:40] ---**
Here we go!
**[03:41] ---**
"Every dog has his day."
**[03:46] ---**
It's sooo kyute! I wanna take it home!
**[03:48] ---**
"A little goes a long..."
**[03:51] ---**
"You get what you..."
**[03:54] ---**
"Do unto others as..."
**[03:56] ---**
So kyute, so kyute! I'm taking them all home!
**[04:00] ---**
Impossible! Rena's always so calm
during games! Where is this coming from?!
**[04:06] ---**
I-Is it because they're all cute?!
**[04:10] ---**
What about Rika-*chan*?!
**[04:13] ---**
I got one on the line!
**[04:15] ---**
Oh, wow! You're so good at this, Rika-*chan*!
**[04:19] ---**
I got another one on my hook!
**[04:21] ---**
Oh, no, not another one!
You're too good at this!
**[04:25] ---**
Keep it up, Rika-*chan*!
**[04:27] ---**
Aaand that table's turned into a meeting
of the Rika Furude Fan Club.
**[04:33] ---**
It's your turn, Maebara-*san*.
**[04:34] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[04:38] ---**
One, two.
**[04:40] ---**
Penalized for tax evasion?! Pay 50,000 dollars?!
**[04:44] ---**
Huh? Are you having a hard time
over here, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[04:48] ---**
You're the only one of us who hasn't won yet.
**[04:51] ---**
Dangit...
**[04:53] ---**
How much money do you guys have?
**[04:55] ---**
U-Uh, I've got 980,000.
**[05:00] ---**
And I've got 880,000. But I can still win!
**[05:05] ---**
Both of them are gonna break a million easy!
**[05:08] ---**
So how much do you have over there, Kei-*chan*?
**[05:10] ---**
It's not my fault!
**[05:12] ---**
All I can do is spin the thing
and hope for the best!
**[05:15] ---**
How unsightly.
**[05:16] ---**
You can't give up, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[05:19] ---**
It's okay, Keiichi.
**[05:24] ---**
What the hell can I do to turn
this game around, huh, Mion?!
**[05:29] ---**
I'm disappointed in you.
**[05:30] ---**
We all gave it a hundred percent,
but you're not even trying.
**[05:34] ---**
Wh-What do you mean, not even trying?!
**[05:36] ---**
If you were trying, you would've found
a way to win in the first ten seconds.
**[05:40] ---**
Let's go, girls.
**[05:41] ---**
Mii-*chan*, you didn't have to get mad at him...
**[05:45] ---**
You think I'm not trying?
**[05:48] ---**
You think I could win this game of chance
in the first ten freakin' seconds?!
**[05:54] ---**
You think I've totally crushed
your hopes and dreams?!
**[05:57] ---**
Uh, can we keep playing?
**[06:01] ---**
Maebara-*san*, do you want to give up?
**[06:06] ---**
I'll show you what happens when
I start trying!
**[06:11] ---**
Tomita-*kun*, Okamura-*kun*,
let's make ourselves a deal.
**[06:14] ---**
Let me win.
**[06:15] ---**
--Wh-What?!
--Wh-What?!
**[06:17] ---**
M-Maebara-*san*, you're
not allowed to threaten us!
**[06:20] ---**
Just hear me out, okay?
**[06:22] ---**
What is it you want? The prize money?
**[06:24] ---**
W-Well, yeah...
**[06:26] ---**
So if you won, what'd you use the money for?
How'd you spend it?
**[06:32] ---**
I'd probably buy a new game...
**[06:34] ---**
I'd buy candy, or soda, maybe...
**[06:37] ---**
Oh, boys, you gotta dream bigger than that.
**[06:41] ---**
W-Well, how are you gonna spend it
better than us, Maebara-*san*?!
**[06:46] ---**
Now we're getting places.
**[06:47] ---**
On top of playing with you guys,
us club members have to deal with penalties.
**[06:52] ---**
The kind where if you lose, you have
to do whatever the winner tells you to do.
**[06:56] ---**
B-But we're not even in your guys' club.
What's that got to do with us?
**[07:00] ---**
Just listen.
**[07:01] ---**
Tomita-*kun*, you've got a crush on Satoko, right?
**[07:05] ---**
And Okamura-*kun*, you've got
the hots for Rika, yeah?
**[07:10] ---**
Tomita-*kun*, if I win...
**[07:12] ---**
--...I'll put a collar on Satoko and
make her be your little sister all day!
**[07:16] ---**
--Big brother!
--...I'll put a collar on Satoko and
make her be your little sister all day!
**[07:21] ---**
And Okamura-*kun*, I'll put cat ears
on Rika-*chan* and let you take her on a walk!
**[07:27] ---**
Mew, mew!
**[07:32] ---**
--Th-That's not, I mean, you can't...
--Th-That's not, I mean, you can't...
**[07:35] ---**
No need to be bashful.
**[07:36] ---**
Why, you just got thrown under the bus
by mean old Maebara-*senpai*!
**[07:40] ---**
These youthful days of mine
have been so gloomy...
**[07:43] ---**
But at the very least, I can help
my younger classmates achieve their dreams!
**[07:50] ---**
I'll make all your dreams come true! I swear!
**[07:53] ---**
--Maebara-*san*!
--Maebara-*san*!
**[07:56] ---**
I'll follow you into the depths of Hell, sir!
**[07:59] ---**
"Da Vinci"
**[07:59] ---**
"Da Vinci"
--That's game!
--That's game!
**[08:02] ---**
Who won, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[08:05] ---**
I crushed 'em!
**[08:06] ---**
--Huh?!
--Huh?!
**[08:07] ---**
How on Earth did you manage a victory
from those poor prospects?!
**[08:10] ---**
An old-fashioned gentleman's
agreement! Right, boys?
**[08:14] ---**
--Hell yeah!
--Hell yeah!
**[08:17] ---**
Keiichi gets stuff done!
**[08:20] ---**
I wasn't gonna be the only one
who didn't win their game.
**[08:25] ---**
Guess that means you're
finally trying. Good to hear!
**[08:29] ---**
Okay, Mii-*chan*! What are we
gonna play? What game?
**[08:33] ---**
Bad news on that...
**[08:37] ---**
Sorry, guys, I have to head out
to my part-time job now.
**[08:40] ---**
--Nooooo!
--Nooooo!
**[08:43] ---**
Sorry, guys. I'll make it up to you
next time, promise!
**[08:47] ---**
Thanks to you guys,
the shop made a huge profit today!
**[08:50] ---**
Here's a little something to say thanks.
**[08:53] ---**
Hey, Uncle Yoshiro, where's my little something?
**[08:56] ---**
I'll give you a big tip
next time I see you at work.
**[08:59] ---**
No fair.
**[09:01] ---**
--Oh, my!
--This is so cute!
**[09:03] ---**
Can I really take this home?!
**[09:06] ---**
Is mine cute, too...?
**[09:11] ---**
It's sooo kyute!
**[09:14] ---**
That's the last thing
I'd expect you to want, Kei-*chan*!
**[09:17] ---**
I'll admit it's cute,
**[09:19] ---**
but I can't say a doll like this is for me...
**[09:21] ---**
If you took that home,
everyone'd think you were a total perv.
**[09:26] ---**
Yeah, it's really not my thing.
**[09:32] ---**
Keiichi.
**[09:35] ---**
As long as you're kind about it,
**[09:37] ---**
you could give it to anyone, and they
wouldn't be flustered, they'd accept it!
**[09:45] ---**
Here, Mion, you have it.
You'll get more use out of it than me.
**[09:48] ---**
Huh?! But I'm so not the type for dolls!
**[09:52] ---**
Like, I'm always wondering why I wasn't
just born a guy or something, you know?
**[09:57] ---**
C'mon, just take it!
**[09:59] ---**
O-Okay...
**[10:02] ---**
I also think you're a better home
for her than Keiichi-*kun*!
**[10:24] ---**
Taste-wise, this place isn't much different
than other family restaurants...
**[10:28] ---**
Who gives a damn about the food, Keiichi?!
**[10:30] ---**
Look at that!
**[10:36] ---**
Excuse me, could I get a refill on my coffee?
**[10:39] ---**
Coming right up, sir!
**[10:46] ---**
Is *that* why you said this shop is so infamous?
**[10:49] ---**
C'mon, you like their uniforms, too, yeah?
**[10:54] ---**
Wh-What're you doing, Keiichi?!
**[10:56] ---**
No one's ever hit me in my entire life,
not even my own father!
**[10:58] ---**
I'm not your father!
**[11:01] ---**
Be honest with yourself, Keiichi.
**[11:03] ---**
I'm gonna go to the restroom.
**[11:06] ---**
You take some time to *appreciate*
these girls while I'm gone.
**[11:10] ---**
Sheesh, how old does he think he is?
**[11:12] ---**
S-Sorry about the wait, sir.
Here's your dessert.
**[11:16] ---**
Oh, tha...
**[11:24] ---**
Mion... is that you?
**[11:27] ---**
It is you, isn't it?!
Why the hell are you working here?!
**[11:32] ---**
U-Uh, this is my uncle's shop,
I'm just helping out...
**[11:36] ---**
Damn though, that outfit
looks good, even on you!
**[11:40] ---**
C-Could you not stare so hard?
It's embarrassing...
**[11:44] ---**
Oh, c'mon, I bet you love getting
all the guys to stare at you in that!
**[11:50] ---**
I-I'm not wearing this 'cause I want to...
**[11:55] ---**
I never would've thought you'd look
good in that, not in my wildest dreams!
**[12:00] ---**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
**[12:02] ---**
Huh? What am I getting wrong?
**[12:04] ---**
Uhh, I'm so sorry, but...
**[12:06] ---**
I'm actually Shion Sonozaki.
**[12:09] ---**
I'm Mion's twin sister!
**[12:11] ---**
Shion? Shion Sonozaki?
**[12:13] ---**
That's right. People often
confuse me for my sister...
**[12:16] ---**
So if this is the first time we've met,
why'd you act like it wasn't?
**[12:20] ---**
W-Well, because my sister
talks about you so much.
**[12:25] ---**
This is a pretty pathetic story, you know...
**[12:27] ---**
Um...
**[12:31] ---**
Right, you're, uh, Shion? Sorry about that.
**[12:37] ---**
It's okay, just--as long as you
know I'm not my sister.
**[12:39] ---**
I don't think that uniform
would look good on Mion,
**[12:44] ---**
but you're really rocking it, Shion-*chan*.
**[12:46] ---**
Huh? You mean, uh...
**[12:49] ---**
Sonozaki-*san*, you can take
your break now if you want!
**[12:52] ---**
O-Okay!
**[12:54] ---**
Right, uh... I'm glad I finally got
to meet the infamous "Kei-*chan*"!
**[13:00] ---**
Sorry I thought you were Mion.
**[13:06] ---**
Oh, Keiichi...
**[13:08] ---**
Having a good time, are you?
Finally see why this place's so dang awesome?
**[13:14] ---**
Yeah, I guess...
**[13:21] ---**
Skipping lunch is torture... I'm a growing boy!
**[13:27] ---**
Why did we turn making curry
into a competition?
**[13:30] ---**
I've never seen Chie-*sensei*
act so intense...
**[13:33] ---**
She's usually so gentle and sweet.
**[13:36] ---**
A-Are you okay, Keiichi-*kun*?
I told you to eat some of my curry...
**[13:41] ---**
Except Satoko turned your curry into
a hypertensive's salty nightmare...
**[13:46] ---**
Hey, you still managed to
pull through, despite everything.
**[13:50] ---**
Words aren't gonna make me
feel better right now.
**[13:52] ---**
If you want me to feel better,
get me something to eat.
**[13:56] ---**
I'm sure your dinner will taste great
after all that waiting.
**[14:00] ---**
All right, I'm gonna head off to work now.
**[14:04] ---**
Man, waitressing must be pretty tough.
**[14:08] ---**
Huh? You're a waitress, Mii-*chan*?!
**[14:11] ---**
Wow, really?! Where do you work, where?!
**[14:15] ---**
I-I don't, I'm-- I'm just helping my uncle!
**[14:18] ---**
Right, I'm watching the game shop
for Uncle Yoshiro! Remember him?
**[14:21] ---**
Oh, right! Shion's the waitress.
**[14:24] ---**
Sorry, you guys look so alike, I just forgot.
**[14:27] ---**
Wait, Keiichi-*kun*, who's Shion?
**[14:29] ---**
Oh, uh, Mion's twin sister.
**[14:33] ---**
Totally different personalities,
but they look identical.
**[14:36] ---**
Y-Y-Yeah, that's right! We look similar,
but we're totally different people!
**[14:40] ---**
Unlike Mion, Shion's really cute,
and she's got a sweet smile to boot.
**[14:45] ---**
K... Kei-*chan*!
**[14:47] ---**
Really? I don't remember you
ever mentioning a sister to me before...
**[14:54] ---**
Yeah, you've never met her before, Rena...
**[14:57] ---**
Ack, I really gotta run to work! See ya!
**[15:04] ---**
Hey, she's not technically lying.
Just believe her.
**[15:07] ---**
Oh, I believe her.
**[15:09] ---**
Mii-*chan* was acting so cute.
**[15:11] ---**
I wonder why. I wonder why?
**[15:14] ---**
When's dinner...?
**[15:17] ---**
When's mom coming home...?
**[15:22] ---**
Door's open!
**[15:25] ---**
G-Good evening...
**[15:29] ---**
Whoa, Kei-*chan*, why are you on the floor?!
**[15:34] ---**
Mi--no, Shion?!
**[15:37] ---**
Why are you here?
**[15:39] ---**
My sister told me you had
to skip lunch today. Is that right?
**[15:43] ---**
Huh? Yeah, what about it?
**[15:45] ---**
Did you bring me some food
to fill my starving stomach?
**[15:49] ---**
Well, yes, but...
**[15:51] ---**
Uh, it's to thank you for the d-doll...
**[15:54] ---**
Huh?! Y-You really brought food?!
**[15:58] ---**
Wait, are you talking about
the doll I gave Mion?
**[16:01] ---**
Oh, uh... I was more than happy
to take her present over to you, so...
**[16:08] ---**
I'm sorry, I hope I'm not bothering you...
**[16:11] ---**
No, not at all! I'm really glad you came!
**[16:14] ---**
W-Well, I was on my way to work,
so I have to go!
**[16:17] ---**
You can bring the empty container
back to my sister when you're done!
**[16:20] ---**
Sure, got it. Thanks!
**[16:24] ---**
I'm glad for the food,
but is it really safe to eat?
**[16:28] ---**
If she's stuffed it full of
Tabasco sauce or mustard...
**[16:36] ---**
That's good!
**[16:43] ---**
Thanks for the food. It was awesome.
**[16:54] ---**
Last night, when I was super hungry,
Shion came by and gave me a bunch of food.
**[17:01] ---**
So here are all the containers.
**[17:03] ---**
I already washed them for you!
**[17:06] ---**
O-Oh, wow! Shion's so thoughtful.
**[17:09] ---**
My, Mion-*san*, you sure are in good humor today!
**[17:12] ---**
Yeah! She's being so kind and gentle.
**[17:15] ---**
Perhaps she's come down with a cold?
**[17:17] ---**
I'm sure you'll eventually
"come down with a cold" too, Satoko.
**[17:22] ---**
What does that mean?
**[17:32] ---**
Eating lunch made me sleepy...
**[17:34] ---**
Hey, Kei-*chan*, you always
eat all your food at lunch, right?
**[17:38] ---**
Like, every last little crumb.
**[17:40] ---**
Well, yeah, else that'd be rude to
the person who took the time to make it.
**[17:43] ---**
It's funny, like...
**[17:45] ---**
You give off this intense, independent vibe,
**[17:48] ---**
but you're a stand-up guy, you know?
Like, you've got good manners.
**[17:51] ---**
You're right! Keiichi-*kun*'s
so much nicer than he looks!
**[17:56] ---**
I feel like you're making fun of me right now...
**[17:58] ---**
Not at all! I just wanted to point out
how some people aren't what they look like!
**[18:03] ---**
And what are you saying I look like right now?!
**[18:05] ---**
Hey! Sonozaki-*san*, Maebara-*kun*,
we are in class right now!
**[18:08] ---**
Sonozaki-*san*, please bring me your notebook.
**[18:11] ---**
Okay...
**[18:13] ---**
You can't judge a book by its cover.
**[18:15] ---**
Sometimes, people are
the complete opposite of how they look.
**[18:20] ---**
Where's this coming from, all of a sudden?
You've got my attention.
**[18:23] ---**
Look at Satoko-*chan*. She was a sweet,
needy kid up until a short time ago!
**[18:27] ---**
Satoko-*chan* being sweet and needy?!
That's just plain unbelievable.
**[18:32] ---**
Though I feel like Rika-*chan*
is more than just cute...
**[18:35] ---**
I always imagine Rika-*chan* growing up
into a devilishly beautiful woman someday!
**[18:42] ---**
--And even Mii-*chan* is really girly deep down.
--You were distracted the other day, too,
when we were making curry!
**[18:46] ---**
--Rena, how much did Mion pay you to say that?
--You were distracted the other day, too,
when we were making curry!
**[18:49] ---**
Mii-*chan*'s the head of our club,
so she works hard to be our leader,
**[18:54] ---**
but under all that, she's just a cute girl!
**[19:00] ---**
I hope you won't forget that
about her, okay, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[19:03] ---**
So does this lesson apply to you too, Rena?
**[19:06] ---**
Huh? Does what apply to me?
**[19:07] ---**
You said not to judge a book by its cover.
What does that mean about you?
**[19:13] ---**
Well, how do you see me, Keiichi-*kun*? How?
**[19:18] ---**
The Rena Ryugu I know...
**[19:24] ---**
Sometimes she takes jokes a little too far,
**[19:26] ---**
but all in all, she's caring and kind.
**[19:29] ---**
The perfect girl, I'd say.
**[19:31] ---**
Really? You mean it?
**[19:32] ---**
If you do, then I guess
that makes me kinda happy...
**[19:37] ---**
But if you're just the opposite...
**[19:41] ---**
Sorry, guys, I've got work again today.
**[19:44] ---**
It's okay. I have plans of my own, too.
**[19:48] ---**
Oh, that's right, you've got
your Watanagashi practice.
**[19:52] ---**
That's right! It's this Sunday, you know!
**[19:55] ---**
Rika's undergoing some
rigorous training right now!
**[19:57] ---**
Is there some big event coming up?
**[19:59] ---**
Yeah, Watanagashi. It's a festival held
at the shrine on a Sunday in June.
**[20:05] ---**
Rika's a Watanagashi shrine maiden,
so she'll be performing the ritual dance!
**[20:10] ---**
"Watanagashi" is a weird name for a festival.
**[20:13] ---**
It means "cotton drifting." We take cotton
out of futons and drift it down the river.
**[20:17] ---**
It's kind of like a special service
for old futons.
**[20:21] ---**
Huh.
**[20:22] ---**
We don't have time to dawdle! Let's go, Rika.
**[20:25] ---**
I'm gonna practice real hard today!
**[20:28] ---**
Okay, let's head out for the day.
I'd better hurry myself.
**[20:33] ---**
Later!
**[20:35] ---**
Mii-*chan*'s relatives own lots of shops
around here. Must be hard helping out!
**[20:48] ---**
Mion's a cute girl, deep down...
**[20:55] ---**
--Crap--
--You little shit!
**[20:58] ---**
The hell d'ya think you're doin', huh?!
**[21:03] ---**
Stop gapin' like a fish and answer us!
**[21:07] ---**
I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--
**[21:09] ---**
Like hell you didn't! You dumb bitch!
**[21:11] ---**
What the shit?!
**[21:13] ---**
The paint's scratched to hell!
**[21:16] ---**
Who fuggin' putcha up to this shit, huh, kid?!
**[21:20] ---**
Stop making a racket, you dumb punks.
**[21:22] ---**
Get lost!
**[21:25] ---**
The hell did you just say?!
**[21:27] ---**
I'll say it again.
Let go of Kei-*chan* and piss off.
**[21:31] ---**
Huh?! You talkin' to us?!
**[21:33] ---**
Damn bitch! I'll beat some
goddamn sense into ya!
**[21:37] ---**
Or are you gonna pay up for the damage?
**[21:38] ---**
M-Mion, these guys are dangerous!
**[21:40] ---**
Get outta here--
**[21:41] ---**
Are you deaf or stupid? I told you to piss off!
**[21:44] ---**
Oh, yeah?!
**[21:51] ---**
What?
**[22:02] ---**
Wh-Who the hell are these guys?!

**[00:04] ---**
Th-The hell're these guys doin'?!
**[00:06] ---**
Whaddya want?!
**[00:09] ---**
What's goin' on?
**[00:11] ---**
All right, all right, what's going on over here?
**[00:18] ---**
Oh, hello, Detective!
**[00:20] ---**
They were trying to
extort money out of my friend!
**[00:21] ---**
--The hell?!
--He messed with our bikes!
**[00:24] ---**
All right, all right!
**[00:28] ---**
Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?
**[00:32] ---**
No, I'm fine.
**[00:35] ---**
Well, that's good, at least.
**[00:38] ---**
Thanks for the timely call.
**[00:41] ---**
Thank *you* for all your hard work,
Detective Ooishi.
**[00:44] ---**
A first-division detective shouldn't
need to waste his time out here.
**[00:47] ---**
Oh, no. We were heading back to
the station when the call came in.
**[00:52] ---**
We just had to take a little detour, that's all.
**[00:55] ---**
Keep up the hard work, Detective!
**[01:26] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[01:29] ---**
*Suggestive silence*

*No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me*
**[02:09] ---**
*The one and only answer*
**[02:12] ---**
*The door I was searching for*
**[02:16] ---**
*Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me*
**[02:23] ---**
*Something engulfed in the bright light*

*The true nature of everything*

**[02:39] ---**
You really saved my skin back there.
**[02:41] ---**
Thank you so much, Shion.
**[02:43] ---**
C'mon, turn that frown upside down.
**[02:46] ---**
I've gotta thank you for this somehow.
**[02:48] ---**
How about... *you* come help *me*
the next time *I'm* in trouble?
**[02:53] ---**
Y-Yeah, I can do that. Promise.
**[02:58] ---**
You better keep that promise!
**[03:00] ---**
Boy, I hope I get into trouble soon...
**[03:03] ---**
There's that smile!
**[03:06] ---**
You're not the real Kei-*chan* at all
when you're all down in the dumps!
**[03:09] ---**
C-Cut it out!
**[03:10] ---**
Wait, Shion, aren't you in
the middle of a shift right now?!
**[03:13] ---**
I told my manager you saved me
from a bunch of no-good punks,
**[03:18] ---**
so he said I should treat you!
**[03:20] ---**
Th-That's the complete opposite of
what happened... You're okay with that?
**[03:25] ---**
Of course.
**[03:27] ---**
Especially because...
**[03:29] ---**
You must've been scared
when everyone walked up like that.
**[03:32] ---**
They were all people from Hinamizawa, right?
**[03:35] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[03:36] ---**
If someone threatens one of us,
they threaten all of us.
**[03:38] ---**
We can always count on each other to help.
**[03:41] ---**
Everyone's pretty close-knit, huh.
**[03:43] ---**
For decades now, the residents of
Hinamizawa have banded together
**[03:47] ---**
to fight whatever threatens
the future of the village.
**[03:50] ---**
Is that right?
**[03:51] ---**
Kei-*chan*, have you heard about
the Hinamizawa Dam Project?
**[03:55] ---**
Yeah, the one that got canceled, right?
**[03:58] ---**
Only due to the combined efforts
of everyone in the village!
**[04:01] ---**
Really?!
**[04:03] ---**
The dam would have flooded
many villages, including Hinamizawa.
**[04:09] ---**
"Get out of Hinamizawa!"
"Stop the Dam Project!"
But when we ramped up our protests,
**[04:11] ---**
"Get out of Hinamizawa!"
"Stop the Dam Project!"
the riot police began to
get violent with our protestors.
**[04:14] ---**
What?! The police really did that?!
**[04:17] ---**
They hit us and kicked us!
They got me good a few times, too.
**[04:22] ---**
After that, it was all-out war.
**[04:24] ---**
We went to court to call for
an injunction on the project
**[04:27] ---**
and went to the city and prefectural
assemblies to protest the project.
**[04:30] ---**
"Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
We did everything we could.
**[04:33] ---**
"Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
Our circle of support grew and grew,
**[04:35] ---**
"Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
until finally, the project was
put on hold indefinitely!
**[04:36] ---**
"Dam Project Suspended"
until finally, the project was
put on hold indefinitely!
**[04:39] ---**
Everyone in the village came together to fight.
**[04:42] ---**
Even now, the villagers hold fast
to that strong notion of solidarity.
**[04:46] ---**
It's pretty impressive that
everyone banded together like that.
**[04:52] ---**
The dam project was difficult for all of us,
**[04:54] ---**
but I believe we grew and gained
so much through overcoming that hardship.
**[04:58] ---**
Sonozaki-*san*! Sorry to interrupt,
but could you help out on register?
**[05:02] ---**
Oh, yes, right away!
**[05:04] ---**
Sorry, I've got to get back to work.
**[05:08] ---**
Hey, Mion!
**[05:11] ---**
Thanks again for everything today.
**[05:13] ---**
I'll make it up to you, I swear.
**[05:15] ---**
Then I truly hope you will.
**[05:18] ---**
See you later!
**[05:22] ---**
Keiichi, call for you from Sonozaki-*san*!
**[05:26] ---**
Okay!
**[05:27] ---**
Hey there, I'm not coming
for club stuff at this hour.
**[05:30] ---**
Huh?! Wait, umm...
**[05:34] ---**
S-Sorry, I thought you
were Mion... Is this Shion?
**[05:38] ---**
Yes.
**[05:39] ---**
Umm, do you like desserts, Kei-*chan*?
**[05:43] ---**
Yeah, I'm always down for dessert!
**[05:45] ---**
Well, Angel Mort is looking for someone
to taste-test their new dessert menu.
**[05:51] ---**
Would you be interested at all?
**[05:53] ---**
Huh? Well, yeah, but are you sure it's okay?
**[05:56] ---**
Of course! Please come to
the restaurant tomorrow after school.
**[06:01] ---**
Have a good night!
**[06:03] ---**
Yeah, you, too.
**[06:05] ---**
Man, Shion's doing so dang much for me...
**[06:12] ---**
"Dessert Festival Today!"
"Tables reserved for customers with invitations"
**[06:15] ---**
Hello there! Welcome to Angel Mort!
**[06:18] ---**
Hey, Shion! I'm here to help out.
**[06:22] ---**
Umm, can I borrow you for a bit
after I'm done with work?
**[06:26] ---**
Sure, I've got nothing else
going on. Fine by me.
**[06:29] ---**
Okay! Just hang out here until then. Thanks!
**[06:36] ---**
Everything's so big!
**[06:37] ---**
And so good!
**[06:40] ---**
Next on the menu is our
Tropical Cinnamon Love Affair!
**[06:45] ---**
This one looks awesome, too!
**[06:48] ---**
What the dink are you doing?!
**[06:50] ---**
I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to
get it on your clothes, sir...
**[06:55] ---**
Dang, did Shion trip?
**[06:58] ---**
Well, sweetie, make it up to me
by wiping it up before it stains!
**[07:03] ---**
Huh?
**[07:04] ---**
He stuck his leg out and tripped her.
**[07:07] ---**
Wait, he did it on purpose?!
**[07:09] ---**
There's not much we can do about it.
We have to keep our customers happy.
**[07:12] ---**
C'mon, get to cleaning!
**[07:18] ---**
Shut up, you fat pig! Get the hell
outta here before I kick your ass!
**[07:22] ---**
K-Kei-*chan*...
**[07:25] ---**
I don't think you get what's going on here.
I'm teaching her a lesson!
**[07:29] ---**
You're the one who needs a lesson taught,
**[07:31] ---**
you frickin' creep!
**[07:35] ---**
Kei-*chan*!
**[07:41] ---**
Huh? Where am I?
**[07:43] ---**
Thank goodness, you're awake.
**[07:46] ---**
Oh, right. He beat the crap outta me...
**[07:50] ---**
Are you all right? I'm so sorry
you got hurt because of me...
**[07:56] ---**
No, I'm sorry I couldn't really help.
I didn't even win the fight I started.
**[08:02] ---**
That doesn't matter.
I'm just glad you came to help me.
**[08:11] ---**
Thanks for waiting.
**[08:15] ---**
It's starting to get dark. We should hurry!
**[08:17] ---**
H-Hey!
**[08:20] ---**
Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Shion Sonozaki.
**[08:24] ---**
My older twin sister is rough around the edges
and somewhat overbearing,
**[08:27] ---**
while I'm a bit more refined and mature.
**[08:30] ---**
What's Mion told you about me, Shion?
**[08:34] ---**
She's told me about club, how you
got her good, then how she got you back...
**[08:38] ---**
The two of you sound really close.
**[08:41] ---**
Look at these. Aren't they pretty?
**[08:44] ---**
Yeah, sure are.
**[08:48] ---**
Wha--?!
**[08:49] ---**
C'mon, no need to overreact.
**[08:52] ---**
Linking arms with a girl
can't be that embarrassing, can it?
**[08:56] ---**
I-I-I'm not embarrassed!
**[08:59] ---**
If you want an arm that bad,
you can have whichever you want. Here.
**[09:05] ---**
You never fail to entertain me, Kei-*chan*.
**[09:10] ---**
There are some softer parts of Mion
that I'm not particularly fond of.
**[09:14] ---**
Do you two not get along that well?
**[09:18] ---**
Oh, we get along well enough.
**[09:21] ---**
But there are a few things
that still don't sit well with me.
**[09:27] ---**
Oh!
**[09:32] ---**
Look at them! They're so cute!
**[09:34] ---**
I know this place...
**[09:36] ---**
If I said I wanted one...
**[09:39] ---**
...would you buy one for me, Kei-*chan*?
**[09:43] ---**
Sure.
**[09:44] ---**
I've gotta make it up to you for today,
anyway, so I don't mind treating you.
**[09:53] ---**
Huh? Wait, don't you...
**[09:55] ---**
You're sure you want to treat me?
This one with the dress is quite expensive.
**[10:00] ---**
The price isn't important.
It's the thought that counts.
**[10:05] ---**
Excuse me! I'd like to buy that doll
with the dress in the window!
**[10:10] ---**
Sure!
**[10:12] ---**
Let me get--
**[10:14] ---**
--Mion?!
--K-Kei-*chan*?!
**[10:16] ---**
And why the hell are *you* here?!
**[10:21] ---**
I've been telling you from the very beginning.
**[10:23] ---**
I'm Shion Sonozaki, Mion's younger twin sister.
**[10:27] ---**
Why are you surprised? You've been
calling me by my name this whole time!
**[10:31] ---**
B-But that's 'cause...
**[10:33] ---**
Wh-What the hell is going on here?!
**[10:35] ---**
Start talking, Shion!
**[10:36] ---**
Oh, nothing! I just wanted to see
what your darling Kei-*chan* was like!
**[10:42] ---**
But you called me yesterday, right, Mion?
**[10:45] ---**
No, I didn't! I have no idea
what you're talking about!
**[10:48] ---**
I was the one who brought you
those boxes full of food, too!
**[10:53] ---**
N-No, that was m--
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, wow, that's *so* unlike you, Mion! How bold!
**[10:58] ---**
N-No, I...
**[11:00] ---**
--Okay, okay, okay, okay!
**[11:03] ---**
--See, Kei-*chan*?
--Okay, okay, okay, okay!
**[11:05] ---**
It's been me, Shion Sonozaki, all this time!
**[11:09] ---**
Does that clear things up for you?
**[11:11] ---**
Okay, miss! Get that doll
wrapped up for me, yes?
**[11:15] ---**
It's the first big gift from my beloved!
**[11:32] ---**
That hits the spot!
**[11:36] ---**
Hey, Rika-*chan*! Keep up the good work!
**[11:41] ---**
You, too, Keiichi!
**[11:43] ---**
--Very good, very good...
--Little miss Rika's so much
more confident this year.
**[11:46] ---**
--Little miss Rika's so much
more confident this year.
**[11:52] ---**
Hey, Kei-*chan*, workin' hard?
**[11:54] ---**
Yeah, bet you are, too!
**[12:04] ---**
I'm pooped!
**[12:05] ---**
Good work, Kei-*chan*.
**[12:08] ---**
Thanks, Mi...
**[12:09] ---**
Wait!
**[12:10] ---**
Hello! I'm Shion, the thoughtful sister!
**[12:14] ---**
You brat!
**[12:16] ---**
Hey, you're the one who
got us mixed up, Kei-*chan*.
**[12:20] ---**
Dang it, I can't even deny it...
**[12:27] ---**
Sh-Shion!
**[12:28] ---**
Why're you hanging around Kei-*chan* again?!
**[12:31] ---**
Because unlike you, I'm considerate of others!
**[12:35] ---**
Speaking of which, why are you
holding two cups of barley tea?
**[12:39] ---**
Well, um, uh...
**[12:43] ---**
'Cause I was super thirsty!
**[12:46] ---**
My, Mion, look at you
gulp that down! How charming.
**[12:50] ---**
I frickin' hate you, Shion!
**[12:52] ---**
Now even more than before!
**[13:00] ---**
Good evening.
**[13:02] ---**
Well, if it isn't old man Tomitake
and Takano-*san*!
**[13:06] ---**
Shion-*chan*? What a pleasant surprise.
You don't come up here often.
**[13:10] ---**
Likewise. It's been quite a while.
**[13:13] ---**
And you must be that transfer student
I heard about, Keiichi Maebara-*kun*.
**[13:17] ---**
Uhh... Have we met somewhere before?
**[13:20] ---**
I'm glad you remember my face!
**[13:22] ---**
We've passed each other on the road a few times.
**[13:25] ---**
I'm Tomitake, a freelance
photographer from Tokyo.
**[13:29] ---**
How about me? Do you know who I am?
**[13:32] ---**
Sorry, I don't.
**[13:35] ---**
That's Miyo Takano-*san*.
She works over at the medical clinic.
**[13:39] ---**
Let me know when you come in
for your next checkup.
**[13:41] ---**
I'll get my biggest needles ready for you.
**[13:44] ---**
Hello there, everyone!
**[13:46] ---**
My, Ooishi-*san*, good evening.
**[13:49] ---**
Here to scope out security for tomorrow?
**[13:53] ---**
You've got me there.
**[13:55] ---**
Oh, Tomitake-*san*! Long time no see.
**[13:59] ---**
You remember my name! I feel so honored.
**[14:03] ---**
You sure do love Hinamizawa, don't you?
**[14:07] ---**
All right, everyone, have a good year.
**[14:10] ---**
Detective Ooishi?
**[14:12] ---**
We'll be counting on you
and your team's hard work this year.
**[14:15] ---**
I'd like this year's Watanagashi
to pass without incident.
**[14:19] ---**
I've got my work cut out for me, then!
**[14:23] ---**
You're talking about
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse, right?
**[14:27] ---**
Kei-*chan*, I'm feeling kinda hungry.
**[14:30] ---**
Let's go get some snacks
from the volunteer tent.
**[14:33] ---**
Yeah, sure.
**[14:35] ---**
C'mon, let's go!
**[14:37] ---**
I wonder who will die
and who will disappear this year.
**[14:42] ---**
What did you just say?
**[14:49] ---**
C'mon, Kei-*chan*. It's a super lame story.
**[14:52] ---**
You haven't told Kei-*chan* about it yet?
**[14:56] ---**
Wait, guys, hold on. What are you talking about?
**[14:59] ---**
I don't wanna be the only one left out.
**[15:04] ---**
Fine, I'm gonna go, then.
**[15:07] ---**
You better come quick,
or I'll eat all your snacks, too!
**[15:10] ---**
Yeah, I got it, okay?
**[15:19] ---**
Do you believe in curses, Maebara-*kun*?
**[15:23] ---**
Huh?
**[15:24] ---**
Do you know about the Hinamizawa Dam Project?
**[15:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:29] ---**
The villagers who banded together
to protest the project
**[15:32] ---**
set up their base of operations here,
at the shrine to Oyashiro-*sama*,
**[15:34] ---**
hoping the guardian deity
would ensure their victory.
**[15:39] ---**
All superstition, of course, until...
**[15:43] ---**
...something happened.
**[15:45] ---**
By something, you mean the curse?
**[15:48] ---**
The construction manager for the dam project...
**[15:52] ---**
...was murdered.
**[15:53] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:55] ---**
They attacked him with pickaxes,
**[15:57] ---**
then dismembered him and disposed of the pieces.
**[16:02] ---**
One of the attackers got away,
and the victim's right arm is still missing.
**[16:08] ---**
The year after, a couple who supported
the dam project fell from a cliff.
**[16:14] ---**
The man's body was found,
but they never found his wife.
**[16:18] ---**
The year after that, the shrine's priest
who'd stayed out of the drama,
**[16:23] ---**
suddenly died of mysterious causes.
**[16:26] ---**
His wife left a suicide note
and disappeared, as if to join him.
**[16:30] ---**
The next year--last year--
**[16:33] ---**
the wife of the younger brother
of the man who fell to his death
**[16:36] ---**
was found dead, apparently beaten to death.
**[16:39] ---**
The interesting thing about these incidents
**[16:44] ---**
is they all happened on the night of
the Watanagashi festival.
**[16:48] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:49] ---**
Everyone involved with the dam project
is dying off, one by one...
**[16:54] ---**
So the terrified villagers have begun
to believe it's Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[17:00] ---**
What do you think, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[17:02] ---**
I don't think all that happened
because of some curse.
**[17:06] ---**
I understand why people might
want to believe that, though.
**[17:09] ---**
Good. I knew you'd think
rationally about this, Kei-*chan*.
**[17:13] ---**
If it's not a curse,
and certainly not a coincidence,
**[17:17] ---**
it certainly makes you wonder
what will happen next.
**[17:22] ---**
Huh?
**[17:23] ---**
Takano-*san* thinks a person
or people are responsible for it all.
**[17:28] ---**
Well, that has to be the answer.
**[17:30] ---**
It only makes sense if someone
is orchestrating everything.
**[17:33] ---**
We have proof, too,
**[17:35] ---**
that the people of Hinamizawa are
involved with Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[17:38] ---**
H-Huh?! What kind of proof?
**[17:41] ---**
Every year, one person dies,
and one person disappears.
**[17:45] ---**
Disappears? You mean like, they go missing?
**[17:49] ---**
Legend says that in Hinamizawa, long ago,
**[17:52] ---**
villagers offered up human sacrifices
to Oyashiro-*sama* to quell its wrath.
**[17:57] ---**
H-Human sacrifices?!
**[17:59] ---**
Yes, they would be wrapped in a bamboo mat,
**[18:02] ---**
then thrown in the swamp, left to drown
as they slowly sunk into its waters...
**[18:09] ---**
Are you trying to say that
when someone "disappears,"
**[18:13] ---**
they actually get sacrificed to Oyashiro-*sama*?!
**[18:16] ---**
Someone will be killed
in the name of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse,
**[18:20] ---**
and someone will be offered up in sacrifice.
**[18:23] ---**
Wait, Shion, then...
**[18:26] ---**
"Furude Shrine"
Wait, Shion, then...
**[18:26] ---**
"Furude Shrine"
Then that means someone
in Hinamizawa is doing all this!
**[18:37] ---**
The Watanagashi festival is tomorrow.
**[18:40] ---**
I don't want anyone to
die or disappear, not at all.
**[18:48] ---**
It's tomorrow...
**[18:51] ---**
Tomorrow, who will die, and who will disappear?
**[19:00] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[19:06] ---**
They went all-out this year, too!
**[19:07] ---**
'Cause everyone in Hinamizawa is here.
**[19:10] ---**
Damn.
**[19:12] ---**
There's Rika-*chan* and Satoko-*chan*!
**[19:15] ---**
Over here!
**[19:17] ---**
My, if it isn't my illustrious friends!
**[19:20] ---**
--Good evening, everyone!
--Good evening.
**[19:25] ---**
Rika-*chan*! I wanna take you home!
**[19:29] ---**
Almost time for your big dance.
**[19:31] ---**
I'm a little nervous.
**[19:34] ---**
You're going to absolutely wow everyone!
**[19:36] ---**
We'll be cheering you on from the audience, too!
**[19:39] ---**
Chin up, Rika-*chan*!
**[19:40] ---**
You got this!
**[19:49] ---**
Where'd everyone go?
**[19:55] ---**
Dang it, I can't see anything!
**[19:58] ---**
Kei-*chan*!
**[20:00] ---**
Come with me.
**[20:01] ---**
Huh?
**[20:02] ---**
Hey, where're we going?
**[20:04] ---**
We're headed away from the festival!
**[20:07] ---**
Stay quiet and follow me, okay?
**[20:11] ---**
Here! Look over there.
**[20:21] ---**
Wait, Shion... Did you bring me here
just to show me this?
**[20:24] ---**
--That's right.
--I thought you were taking me somewhere
we could watch Rika-*chan*'s dance!
**[20:26] ---**
--I thought you were taking me somewhere
we could watch Rika-*chan*'s dance!
**[20:29] ---**
You wanted to watch her dance that badly?
**[20:31] ---**
If that's what you're into, then I may
need to reevaluate my opinion of you...
**[20:36] ---**
Ugh. I'm leaving.
**[20:38] ---**
My, my, who do we have here?
**[20:41] ---**
Boy, Keiichi, you're smoother than I thought!
**[20:44] ---**
Hooking up with your
girlfriend out here, are you?
**[20:48] ---**
Isn't that what you two are doing out here?
**[20:50] ---**
Unfortunately, we're not doing
anything you'd enjoy watching.
**[20:58] ---**
Then what *are* you doing?
**[21:01] ---**
Don't tell anyone we were
breaking into the storehouse, okay?
**[21:04] ---**
Don't tell anyone? Are you trying to
steal from it or something?!
**[21:07] ---**
Not at all. We just wanted to see what's inside.
**[21:13] ---**
This "forbidden" storehouse
is for old ritual tools.
**[21:17] ---**
Only members of the Furude family
and a select few are allowed to enter,
**[21:21] ---**
as outsiders would "defile"
the incredibly sacred site.
**[21:25] ---**
So shouldn't you, you know, keep out of there?!
**[21:28] ---**
Yes, but all the answers to my many
curious questions lie behind this door!
**[21:35] ---**
--Got it open.
--Thank you!
**[21:36] ---**
It's finally time.
**[21:38] ---**
Well? You're our partners in crime, now.
**[21:41] ---**
Would you like to come take a look with us?
**[21:44] ---**
Wh-What? We don't want to be
partners in crime with you or--
**[21:47] ---**
It sounds interesting! Let's go look.
**[21:51] ---**
But we're not supposed to go in there.
**[21:54] ---**
It's a sacred building, right?
**[21:56] ---**
Since I'm part of the Sonozaki family,
**[22:00] ---**
I have an idea of
what kind of tools are in there.
**[22:03] ---**
And I want you to see them, Kei-*chan*.
**[22:06] ---**
You want me to see?
**[22:09] ---**
Still...
**[22:12] ---**
If you get in there and you're bored,
you can leave, Kei-*chan*.
**[22:16] ---**
But I think you'll be quite
fascinated by what's inside.
**[22:19] ---**
Or are you afraid of the curse?
**[22:23] ---**
I-I'm not afraid of any curse!
**[22:27] ---**
I'll keep watch out here.
**[22:30] ---**
Go in and have a look.
**[22:32] ---**
A young guy like you might find
the stuff in there pretty fascinating.
**[22:39] ---**
Okay, I'll take a peek.
But if I'm not into it, I'm leaving.
**[22:43] ---**
That's what I wanted to hear!
**[22:48] ---**
You've made your choice, then.
**[22:50] ---**
Let's go.
**[22:56] ---**
*I want to believe in you,
so I won't falter*
**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said
that day are silent*
**[23:12] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*
**[23:39] ---**
Next time: *Watadamashi-hen*:

**[00:11] ---**
Sure is dark in here...
**[00:14] ---**
This the light?
**[00:15] ---**
Don't!
**[00:44] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[00:47] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[00:51] ---**
*The distortions in the light
growing more twisted*

**[01:53] ---**
*The true nature of everything*
**[02:04] ---**
Keep the lights off, Kei-*chan*!
Someone might see!
**[02:08] ---**
R-Right, sorry...
**[02:10] ---**
It's fine. Everyone's too focused
on Rika-*chan*'s dance to notice us.
**[02:16] ---**
This is the guardian deity
of Hinamizawa, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[02:20] ---**
Whoa...
**[02:21] ---**
It's much more ornate than
the one at the shrine.
**[02:24] ---**
There are so many more tools
in here than I'd ever imagined.
**[02:29] ---**
Wait, these look more like construction tools
than stuff for religious rituals.
**[02:34] ---**
I don't think you quite understand, Maebara-*kun*.
**[02:38] ---**
Wait... what?
**[02:39] ---**
All right.
**[02:41] ---**
Let me tell you an old story.
**[02:46] ---**
Long, long ago, deep in the mountains,
there lay a swamp that was so deep,
**[02:52] ---**
many said its bottom lay in the depths of Hell.
**[02:56] ---**
The villagers called it Onigafuchi.
**[02:58] ---**
Wait...
**[02:59] ---**
Was that village Hinamizawa?
**[03:03] ---**
You catch on quick.
**[03:06] ---**
Onigafuchi, "the Demons' Abyss"...
That's an ominous name.
**[03:09] ---**
I heard they renamed the village
back in the Meiji era.
**[03:14] ---**
One day, demons rose up
from the depths of the swamp,
**[03:18] ---**
headed into the village,
and attacked its people, showing no mercy.
**[03:21] ---**
The poor villagers tried to flee,
but to no avail.
**[03:24] ---**
In the end, all they could do
was cower and hide...
**[03:28] ---**
But just when everyone had given up hope,
**[03:30] ---**
their guardian deity, Oyashiro-*sama*,
descended unto them.
**[03:34] ---**
Okay.
**[03:35] ---**
So Oyashiro-*sama* came down from
the heavens and got rid of the demons?
**[03:40] ---**
Kei-*chan*, don't be such a guy.
**[03:42] ---**
Violence isn't the answer to everything.
**[03:45] ---**
You see, Oyashiro-*sama* isn't violent.
**[03:49] ---**
He's kind and benevolent.
**[03:53] ---**
The demons couldn't bring
themselves to attack him,
**[03:55] ---**
instead prostrating themselves
before his radiant majesty.
**[03:58] ---**
The kind deity granted
the demons human forms
**[04:01] ---**
so they could live alongside
the villagers in harmony.
**[04:06] ---**
Over generations, the demon's blood
mixed with that of the human villagers.
**[04:09] ---**
And so, they hid themselves away,
living their lives in secrecy,
**[04:12] ---**
only to be worshipped by the people
living at the base of their mountains.
**[04:18] ---**
What a weird story.
**[04:21] ---**
Isn't it?
**[04:23] ---**
But here's where things get *really* fascinating.
**[04:27] ---**
The demons that attacked the villagers
are the kind that eat humans.
**[04:34] ---**
--Huh?
--And now that their blood had mixed
with that of the villagers',
**[04:36] ---**
--And now that their blood had mixed
with that of the villagers',
**[04:40] ---**
sometimes, these villagers would have
the urge to feast on human flesh.
**[04:45] ---**
So they began the practice of
"demoning away" people from other villages.
**[04:52] ---**
What's "demon away" mean?
**[04:53] ---**
Simply put, it means "kidnapping."
**[04:56] ---**
The Onigafuchi villagers would go
to a human village and kidnap a sacrifice.
**[05:02] ---**
How's that any different from
what those demons did to them?!
**[05:05] ---**
And where was the kind, benevolent
Oyashiro-*sama* during all this?!
**[05:08] ---**
Oh, he was well aware of the practice.
**[05:12] ---**
That's why these villagers
didn't kidnap people at random.
**[05:15] ---**
They only targeted those whom
their god had declared fit for sacrifice.
**[05:20] ---**
Once they had their
unfortunate victim in their clutches,
**[05:23] ---**
they would feast upon them in
a practice soon known as "*watanagashi*."
**[05:29] ---**
*Watanagashi*...
**[05:31] ---**
Isn't that the name of the
end-of-winter "cotton-drifting" festival?
**[05:37] ---**
Kei-*chan*,
**[05:39] ---**
"*wata*" doesn't just mean cotton.
It can also mean "entrails," right?
**[05:44] ---**
Entrails?
**[05:45] ---**
Come to think of it,
we call fish guts *wata*, too...
**[05:50] ---**
Entrail drifting?!
**[05:51] ---**
Yes, it's just as you're imagining, Maebara-*kun*.
**[05:57] ---**
Today, Watanagashi is an early
summer festival that takes place in June.
**[06:03] ---**
But back then,
**[06:05] ---**
it was the name given to a gruesome night
**[06:08] ---**
when the villagers hunted, killed,
and feasted on human flesh.
**[06:15] ---**
You're lying!
**[06:16] ---**
What did you think the cotton from
those futons--the *wata*--represents?
**[06:21] ---**
They're just futons!
Big fluffy beds for sleeping in!
**[06:24] ---**
Suppose they represent the *wata* of entrails...
**[06:28] ---**
What, then, was Rika-*chan* doing in her dance?
**[06:35] ---**
I don't know!
I didn't even get to *see* her dance!
**[06:41] ---**
Kei-*chan*, please, calm down.
**[06:45] ---**
The ritual hoe Rika-*chan*
carries for her dance...
**[06:51] ---**
You mean these weird-shaped tools
aren't for farming...
**[06:54] ---**
...but for cutting people up?
**[06:57] ---**
If you want to make it sound
even more gruesome,
**[06:59] ---**
technically, they're cooking utensils.
**[07:05] ---**
Takano-*san*, please don't tease Kei-*chan*.
He's still pretty naïve.
**[07:10] ---**
Sorry. I thought you'd like these
kinds of scary stories, being a boy and all.
**[07:27] ---**
What the hell are you doing, Shion?!
**[07:29] ---**
I-I didn't do anything! I just touched it!
**[07:32] ---**
Calm down, you two.
**[07:40] ---**
What's going on in there?
**[07:43] ---**
Shion-*chan*'s right. It was already broken.
**[07:59] ---**
This should be all right.
**[08:01] ---**
And here I thought you'd run out
of patience and had to come look.
**[08:06] ---**
I'm not too good with these sorts of things.
**[08:10] ---**
Anyway, everyone's headed down to the river.
**[08:13] ---**
Oh, that's no good.
**[08:15] ---**
Could you go wait outside for a little bit?
I'd like to take a few pictures.
**[08:20] ---**
What are the two of you going to do?
**[08:21] ---**
I think I've seen enough...
**[08:27] ---**
What'd you think? Interesting stuff?
**[08:29] ---**
I should've kept watch out here with you.
**[08:34] ---**
Did Takano-*san* stay composed
while she was in there?
**[08:37] ---**
I expected her to get too excited
when surrounded by all those treasures.
**[08:42] ---**
She was certainly excited.
**[08:44] ---**
Thanks for waiting. My curiosity has been sated.
**[08:49] ---**
All those stories and legends
suddenly seem to hold water.
**[08:53] ---**
Takano-*san*...
**[08:55] ---**
You didn't take anything with you, right?
**[08:57] ---**
Oh, please! I'm not *that* much of a child.
**[09:03] ---**
Okay, let's head down to the river.
**[09:08] ---**
No point in coming to the festival
if we don't see the cotton drifting.
**[09:14] ---**
The entrail drifting...
**[09:24] ---**
Dang it, I missed the best shots of the night.
**[09:29] ---**
My, it's not too late.
**[09:32] ---**
You could take some pictures of *me* down there.
**[09:35] ---**
Oh, sure...
**[09:37] ---**
We're gonna go down to the water.
Want to come with?
**[09:44] ---**
Oh, no, we wouldn't want to be a third wheel.
**[09:47] ---**
Have a nice time, you two.
**[09:50] ---**
Come on, we're making things awkward for them.
**[09:53] ---**
Let's go, Jirou-*san*.
**[09:55] ---**
O-Okay.
**[09:57] ---**
Have a good night.
**[10:06] ---**
Well, I sure am tired!
**[10:08] ---**
Same.
**[10:10] ---**
My sister and her friends are probably
looking for you. You should go.
**[10:14] ---**
Yeah, good idea.
**[10:16] ---**
If my sister hears I've been
hogging you the entire night,
**[10:20] ---**
she'll never let me hear the end of it.
**[10:22] ---**
So don't tell anyone about tonight, okay?
**[10:24] ---**
Sheesh, don't put it like that.
You're making it all awkward...
**[10:28] ---**
I don't mean just *that*.
**[10:30] ---**
Huh?
**[10:31] ---**
We can't let anyone know...
**[10:34] ---**
...*where we went* and *what we did*.
**[10:40] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
may befall someone tonight.
**[10:45] ---**
With what we've done,
the four of us are the most likely targets.
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, I'm just kidding!
**[10:59] ---**
Yeah, you're right!
**[11:00] ---**
All those creepy stories Takano-*san*
was telling just have me on edge!
**[11:05] ---**
Okay, I'm going to leave
before my sister shows up.
**[11:17] ---**
There you are, Keiichi!
**[11:22] ---**
Wh-Whoa, hey there, Rika-*chan*.
**[11:25] ---**
We finally found you!
Now we just gotta find Satoko.
**[11:28] ---**
We all got split up tonight!
**[11:32] ---**
Did you watch my dance, Keiichi?
**[11:36] ---**
Y-Yeah, I did! You did a great job.
No mistakes, even!
**[11:47] ---**
See, Rika-*chan*? Nobody thought
it was a mistake!
**[11:53] ---**
Did you get to drift cotton
down the river, Kei-*chan*?
**[11:57] ---**
N-No...
**[11:58] ---**
Wait, really, Keiichi-*kun*?!
**[12:01] ---**
You should go now, or it'll be over, all over!
**[12:05] ---**
S-Sorry, this is my first Watanagashi,
**[12:09] ---**
so I don't know any of the rules...
**[12:13] ---**
All right. Sorry.
**[12:16] ---**
Let's head out.
**[12:18] ---**
O-Okay.
**[12:31] ---**
Hey, Kei-*chan*?
**[12:32] ---**
What?
**[12:33] ---**
Did you run into Shion at all?
**[12:36] ---**
N-Nope!
**[12:38] ---**
I feel like I saw her at the festival,
**[12:41] ---**
but the two of you look so alike,
maybe it was just you in the crowd.
**[12:45] ---**
We don't look *that* similar, do we?
**[12:47] ---**
We even wear different outfits.
**[12:49] ---**
O-Oh, right...
**[12:53] ---**
Okay, then,
**[12:54] ---**
did you see Takano-*san* or Tomitake-*san*?
**[13:00] ---**
N-Nope, didn't see 'em...
**[13:22] ---**
Hey, sorry to stop you.
**[13:26] ---**
Can I help you, Detective?
**[13:29] ---**
Don't be like that.
**[13:31] ---**
I just saw you walking by, so I thought
I might stop you for a little chat.
**[13:37] ---**
Okay.
**[13:38] ---**
I have to say, Maebara-*san*,
**[13:40] ---**
it's impressive how close you've
become to the Sonozaki girls.
**[13:47] ---**
Thank you?
**[13:49] ---**
Do you know about their father?
**[13:50] ---**
He's the head of the Sonozaki
yakuza family that controls this area.
**[13:57] ---**
--What?
--Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you knew.
**[14:01] ---**
The Sonozaki property looks like
a stereotypical yakuza mansion, too,
**[14:06] ---**
what with its high fences, barbed wire,
and security cameras all around.
**[14:10] ---**
So does that mean Mion's
the next in line or something?
**[14:13] ---**
Yes.
**[14:14] ---**
Why, if she wanted to, she could
kill someone in the middle of the street,
**[14:18] ---**
and someone would cover it up for her.
**[14:21] ---**
Mion wouldn't kill anyone!
**[14:24] ---**
It was just an example.
**[14:26] ---**
I don't care who Mion's family is.
She's one of my best friends!
**[14:31] ---**
Is that all you wanted? Because I'm going home.
**[14:35] ---**
Hold on, there. Just answer
one question for me, okay?
**[14:41] ---**
What?
**[14:42] ---**
Did you happen to see Jiro Tomitake
and Miyo Takano-*san* tonight?
**[14:48] ---**
I-I dunno, why?
**[14:51] ---**
Oh? Having a hard time remembering?
**[14:54] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[15:00] ---**
I see.
**[15:03] ---**
Well, then, I should let you get home.
**[15:09] ---**
Oh, just so you know...
**[15:12] ---**
You did see the two of them tonight.
**[15:15] ---**
Both them, you, and Shion Sonozaki
had a grand old time at the stone steps.
**[15:23] ---**
I'll see you later.
**[15:31] ---**
Hey. Why're you calling me so late?
**[15:33] ---**
I was worried about my sister.
Did she believe your story?
**[15:37] ---**
I was worried when she realized
I didn't watch Rika-*chan*'s dance,
**[15:42] ---**
but she bought it.
**[15:45] ---**
That's my sweet Kei-*chan*.
**[15:46] ---**
Oh, shut it, Shion!
**[15:47] ---**
So there's... something else I wanted to ask.
**[15:53] ---**
What?
**[15:54] ---**
Tonight, at the Watanagashi festival,
**[15:59] ---**
all four of us went into that storehouse, right?
**[16:02] ---**
After that, we walked down to the steps
and went our separate ways, right?
**[16:08] ---**
Yeah. Why're you asking?
**[16:11] ---**
Right after we split up...
**[16:13] ---**
Did you see Takano-*san* or Tomitake-*san*?
**[16:17] ---**
Why're you asking?!
**[16:18] ---**
Why does everyone want to know about them?!
**[16:21] ---**
What's going on, Shion?! Did you see them?!
**[16:23] ---**
Calm down, Kei-*chan*! You see...
**[16:26] ---**
The two of them went missing.
**[16:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:29] ---**
I was worried they might be
the next victims tonight, so...
**[16:34] ---**
So... what?
**[16:36] ---**
The Sonozaki family keeps
a close watch on police activity...
**[16:40] ---**
And according to the police, the two of them
went to the volunteer parking lot
**[16:45] ---**
and stole one of the festival's trucks!
**[16:48] ---**
Leaving their car and bicycle behind...
**[16:51] ---**
The police say they left
the village in such a hurry,
**[16:55] ---**
it must have been because
they felt their lives were in danger.
**[17:00] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[17:02] ---**
It means that maybe, they were being
targeted by Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[17:08] ---**
If they were, then we know the reason.
**[17:12] ---**
They're being punished for trespassing
and beheading Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[17:18] ---**
--So does that mean we're next?
--I think so.
**[17:23] ---**
I mean, I know we shouldn't have
gone in there, but all we did was look!
**[17:29] ---**
Besides, I didn't even *like*
seeing all that stuff!
**[17:33] ---**
I didn't even want to go in there and see!
**[17:36] ---**
I wanted to watch Rika-*chan*'s dance!
**[17:40] ---**
But *you* dragged me in there!
**[17:43] ---**
Why the hell are *you*
going on and on about how bad it was
**[17:46] ---**
to sneak into the sacred storehouse
on the night of Watanagashi?!
**[17:49] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't think this would happen...
**[17:53] ---**
I had nothing to do with all of this!
**[17:55] ---**
So now what? What're you gonna do, huh?
**[17:58] ---**
How're you gonna make this right, huh?!
**[18:01] ---**
Hey! Say somethi--
**[18:08] ---**
She's... not saying the curse
is coming for us, is she?
**[18:23] ---**
Shion...
**[18:28] ---**
Morning, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[18:33] ---**
Huh? Keiichi-*kun*, your eyes are so red!
**[18:37] ---**
Yeah, I just couldn't get much sleep last night.
**[18:44] ---**
We did have tons of fun
at the festival last night!
**[18:50] ---**
--'Sup.
--Morning!
**[18:52] ---**
Wow, you look like you didn't get
much sleep either, Mii-*chan*!
**[18:56] ---**
Yeah, I got to bed around three.
I'm pretty tired.
**[19:00] ---**
Three?! Dude, you know
you shouldn't stay up that late!
**[19:06] ---**
Is that because of the mayor?
They still haven't found him?
**[19:09] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:10] ---**
Wait, hold on.
**[19:14] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[19:17] ---**
Some of you might have already heard,
**[19:21] ---**
but Mayor Kimiyoshi has been
missing since yesterday.
**[19:25] ---**
Think he was demoned away?
**[19:26] ---**
But the curse didn't happen this year.
**[19:29] ---**
If anyone sees him somewhere,
be sure to tell an adult right away.
**[19:34] ---**
And don't walk home by yourself!
Walk with a friend.
**[19:42] ---**
Why the mayor?
**[19:44] ---**
If anyone should be
demoned away, it's Shion and me.
**[19:49] ---**
Keiichi!
**[19:51] ---**
You look sad.
**[19:53] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[19:54] ---**
Did you do something bad last night?
**[20:00] ---**
Keiichi, do you really not
remember what happened?
**[20:07] ---**
Can I tell you a story about some kitties?
**[20:11] ---**
Kitties? Meow, meow?
**[20:14] ---**
On the night of the festival,
**[20:19] ---**
four bad kitties went into a storehouse
they weren't supposed to go into.
**[20:23] ---**
Inside, there were lots of things
that scared the kitties.
**[20:28] ---**
The kitties heard that whoever saw
those things would be cursed.
**[20:31] ---**
And now, two of the kitties are missing.
**[20:35] ---**
Please, Rika-*chan*...
**[20:37] ---**
What should the other two kitties do?
**[20:44] ---**
I never expected you to tell me
that with such a ridiculous story.
**[20:50] ---**
It's fine.
**[20:52] ---**
--You don't need to worry about it.
--Huh?!
**[20:55] ---**
It doesn't matter if you
worry about it or not. It's all over.
**[21:01] ---**
This year's curse, this world, you, me--
we're all finished.
**[21:07] ---**
You should've just watched me dance.
**[21:11] ---**
You should've known better
than to go somewhere you shouldn't.
**[21:16] ---**
Especially on the night of Watanagashi.
**[21:20] ---**
H-How did you know--
**[21:21] ---**
I'm surprised Tomitake's body
hasn't been found yet.
**[21:25] ---**
But both of them are already dead.
**[21:29] ---**
Shion should still be alive.
**[21:31] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about, Rika-*chan*?
**[21:34] ---**
Though I have no idea if
this bodes well for you or not.
**[21:44] ---**
Keiichi-*san*!
**[21:45] ---**
If you've got time to sit around,
then grab that ball and join us!
**[21:51] ---**
We're playing super slaughter sludge
explosion murder dodgeball!
**[21:58] ---**
Keiichi?
**[22:02] ---**
You should go play with them!
**[22:19] ---**
*Wind gently flowing through my hair,
time flowing endlessly*
**[22:24] ---**
*A one-way ticket to the future*
**[22:28] ---**
*Dejection and disillusion,
indignation and exhaustion*
**[22:33] ---**
*Carefully coordinated reasoning*
**[22:37] ---**
*This God Syndrome,
a string connecting love and lives*
**[22:47] ---**
*It's not some exaggerated, grand ideal*
**[22:56] ---**
*I want to believe in you,
so I won't falter*
**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said
that day are silent*
**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*

**[00:12] ---**
Chie-*sensei*.
**[00:14] ---**
Have they found the mayor yet?
**[00:17] ---**
Not yet.
**[00:19] ---**
We haven't heard any news yet.
**[00:23] ---**
But I'm sure he's okay.
Let's head back to class.
**[00:29] ---**
Okay.
**[00:31] ---**
All right, let's get
our afternoon class started!
**[00:35] ---**
Huh? Where's Furude-*san*?
**[00:41] ---**
Does anyone know where Furude-*san* is?
**[00:47] ---**
Keiichi-*san*.
**[00:48] ---**
You were just talking to Rika, weren't you?
**[00:51] ---**
Huh?
**[00:56] ---**
I mean, yeah, we were just talking,
but I don't know where she went after...
**[01:02] ---**
You know, I think I saw her talking
to someone behind the school...
**[01:07] ---**
And that someone wasn't Keiichi-*san*?
**[01:11] ---**
I didn't get a good look at who it was...
**[01:13] ---**
What *did* you see?!
**[01:15] ---**
It looked like a man in a construction uniform.
**[01:18] ---**
But there's no one like that at our school.
**[01:23] ---**
Oh, no...
**[01:24] ---**
Now Rika-*chan*'s missing, too?
**[01:35] ---**
Rika!
**[01:36] ---**
Rika-*chan*, where are you?
**[01:40] ---**
Furude-*san*, are you over here?
**[01:43] ---**
Furude-*san*!
**[01:46] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[01:48] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Shout if you can hear us!
**[02:02] ---**
--Huh?
--Kei-*chan*, over here!
**[02:07] ---**
--What'd you find, Mion?!
--I thought I saw something on the roof!
**[02:15] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[02:20] ---**
She's not up here...
**[02:21] ---**
I don't see anything up here, Mion.
**[02:24] ---**
Sorry, maybe I was just seeing things.
**[02:31] ---**
Rika-*chan* was acting weird earlier, too.
What could've happened to her?
**[02:36] ---**
I have to put an end to this.
**[02:41] ---**
Mion? What did you just say?
**[02:45] ---**
I *said*, I have to put an end to this.
**[02:52] ---**
M-Mion, why...?
**[02:55] ---**
Why do you look so angry?
**[02:57] ---**
Rika Furude...
**[02:58] ---**
She's come to carry out
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[03:02] ---**
She's the head of one of
the Three Great Families.
**[03:05] ---**
She's... the ringleader behind it all.
**[03:09] ---**
That's right. It's her.
**[03:13] ---**
It's her. It's *her*!
**[03:15] ---**
*She's* trying to *kill* people!
**[03:17] ---**
Exploiting the Three Great Families
and Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse to do it all...
**[03:21] ---**
But I won't let her!
**[03:22] ---**
That's right. I'm putting an end to this curse.
**[03:26] ---**
She's trying to kill people!
**[03:28] ---**
She's *trying* to *kill people*!
**[03:30] ---**
I know it!
**[03:31] ---**
I know it, I know it!
**[03:33] ---**
I know it, I know it, I know it!
**[03:36] ---**
I know it, I know it!
**[03:37] ---**
--C-Calm down, Mion!
--I know it, I know it, I know it!
**[03:39] ---**
--What are you talking about?!
--I know it, I know it, I know it!
**[03:41] ---**
I know it, I know it, I know it!
**[03:43] ---**
I know, I know...
**[03:44] ---**
I know, I know, I know, I know...
**[03:46] ---**
--I know, I know, I know, I know...
--M-Mion!
**[03:50] ---**
I know, I know, I know, I know...
**[03:54] ---**
--Mion! Keiichi!
--I know, I know...
**[04:00] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:02] ---**
Chie-*sensei*...
**[04:03] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s not here, either.
**[04:06] ---**
We're cancelling class for today.
**[04:08] ---**
Let us teachers handle
finding Furude-*san*, okay?
**[04:11] ---**
You two head straight home.
**[04:13] ---**
Okay.
**[04:25] ---**
What's wrong? What is it?
**[04:28] ---**
It's my fault.
**[04:30] ---**
All of it...
**[04:32] ---**
It's your fault?
**[04:34] ---**
Why do you think it's your fault?
**[04:36] ---**
Could you tell me?
**[04:40] ---**
Because I...
**[04:44] ---**
No, never mind.
**[04:54] ---**
I thought it was no big deal...
**[04:57] ---**
I didn't know it was this bad!
**[05:02] ---**
We hurt Oyashiro-*sama*...
**[05:05] ---**
But that was Shion's fault...
**[05:08] ---**
That's right. It was all Shion's fault!
**[05:12] ---**
No, that's not right.
**[05:15] ---**
I can blame Shion all I want,
**[05:17] ---**
but that won't change anything...
**[05:43] ---**
Hello?
**[05:44] ---**
Hey there, Kei-*chan*.
**[05:46] ---**
Is that you, Shion?
**[05:50] ---**
Oh, wait...
**[05:55] ---**
Mion?
**[05:57] ---**
I want you to come over. Right now.
**[05:59] ---**
C-Come over? You mean to the Sonozaki mansion?
**[06:03] ---**
I'll meet you at the waterwheel.
**[06:09] ---**
What's going on?
**[06:13] ---**
I thought you might wanna tell me something.
**[06:17] ---**
You're nervous. Trust me,
I know how you're feeling right now.
**[06:21] ---**
So c'mon.
**[06:27] ---**
Let's go talk at my place.
**[06:32] ---**
Okay.
**[06:41] ---**
"PRIVATE PROPERTY
NO TRESPASSING"
**[06:47] ---**
Is this forest... I mean, this whole mountain...
**[06:50] ---**
All your backyard?
**[06:52] ---**
Yeah, though it's not really our backyard.
It's all our property.
**[06:56] ---**
It's not like we have gardeners
taking care of every last acre.
**[07:11] ---**
Man, living in an old-fashioned house
must be nice.
**[07:14] ---**
Yeah, right! It's drafty as hell
and freezing in the winter.
**[07:18] ---**
I wish I could live in
a modern house like yours.
**[07:21] ---**
Oh, but I bet clearing snow off
your roof is gonna be rough.
**[07:24] ---**
Huh? It snows that much here?
**[07:26] ---**
You didn't know?
**[07:28] ---**
Hinamizawa's right in
the middle of snow country!
**[07:30] ---**
Ugh, really?! I hate the cold!
**[07:35] ---**
I guess we're gonna need to train you
for the Hinamizawa winter, Kei-*chan*!
**[07:42] ---**
Hell no! I'll pass!
**[07:44] ---**
Man, now I can't wait for winter!
**[07:47] ---**
You're such an ass.
**[07:49] ---**
Okay, let me go make us some tea.
**[08:08] ---**
You feel it, right?
**[08:11] ---**
Like someone's out to get you.
**[08:15] ---**
What if I do?
**[08:17] ---**
Sorry, I wasn't trying to scare you or anything.
**[08:21] ---**
O-Okay.
**[08:25] ---**
Mion, I...
**[08:27] ---**
I have to apologize to you for something.
**[08:30] ---**
To me? For what?
**[08:33] ---**
I... Yesterday, during the Watanagashi festival,
**[08:37] ---**
I went into the ritual tool storehouse.
**[08:41] ---**
Even though I knew it was wrong!
I was just curious!
**[08:48] ---**
But I'm really sorry!
**[08:49] ---**
Kei-*chan*, I know you, Shion,
Tomitake-*san*, and Takano-*san*
**[08:54] ---**
went into the Furude Shrine's
ritual tool storehouse last night.
**[08:57] ---**
Plenty of people already know.
**[09:00] ---**
And even if you only went in there
because you were curious,
**[09:05] ---**
there are lots of people who think
you should still be punished.
**[09:10] ---**
As long as you realize that, well...
**[09:12] ---**
I know it's probably too late,
but I'm sorry! Really sorry!
**[09:15] ---**
Please forgive me!
**[09:28] ---**
Sit up.
**[09:33] ---**
Don't worry. I'm on your side, Kei-*chan*.
**[09:37] ---**
Trust me when I say that, okay?
**[09:40] ---**
I want to trust you, but...
**[09:44] ---**
Rika-*chan* started acting like
a different person all of the sudden!
**[09:49] ---**
Now I don't know who I can trust anymore!
**[09:52] ---**
It's okay. You confessed what you did.
**[09:57] ---**
You apologized for it.
**[09:59] ---**
I know I can trust you, Kei-*chan*!
**[10:02] ---**
Mion...
**[10:03] ---**
So please trust me, Kei-*chan*!
**[10:07] ---**
Know that no matter what happens,
I'll be the one person on your side!
**[10:15] ---**
Okay. I trust you, Mion.
**[10:23] ---**
Can you answer a question for me, Mion?
**[10:25] ---**
Why does someone have to die
on the night of Watanagashi every year?
**[10:32] ---**
You're talking about the series
of annual deaths in Hinamizawa...
**[10:34] ---**
At first, it was just a coincidence.
**[10:38] ---**
--Huh?
--But eventually, that changed.
**[10:42] ---**
A few zealous people started using
"Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse" as an excuse.
**[10:49] ---**
What changed? An excuse for what?
**[10:52] ---**
As in, "you can kill someone
who's harmed the village
**[10:54] ---**
if you do it for Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
on the night of Watanagashi."
**[10:59] ---**
That can't be happening... not nowadays!
**[11:04] ---**
Follow me.
**[11:15] ---**
You saw all those torture devices
in the ritual tool storehouse, right?
**[11:19] ---**
Yeah, but those are super old, right?
**[11:22] ---**
Takano-*san* was really into them, but I wasn't...
**[11:29] ---**
God, it stinks...
**[11:31] ---**
Those "tools" were used to uphold
the strict religious laws of Onigafuchi...
**[11:40] ---**
...by torturing and killing those
who broke the law as a warning to others.
**[11:45] ---**
But all that stuff happened
in the past, right? Not now!
**[11:49] ---**
Right.
**[11:50] ---**
In the past, the Watanagashiritual
was overseen by the Three Great Families.
**[11:56] ---**
But when the Kimiyoshi and
Furude families lost their influence,
**[12:00] ---**
and the times began to change,
it became harder and harder to carry out,
**[12:04] ---**
so those ritual torture devices
were put away for good.
**[12:15] ---**
That's why the Sonozaki family built this place.
**[12:17] ---**
Built-- Wait, you're not telling me...
**[12:20] ---**
A place where the Watanagashiritual
could still be carried out in secret.
**[12:29] ---**
Look. See how many different tools we have?
**[12:37] ---**
You see, just because we live
in "modern" times, in 1983,
**[12:41] ---**
doesn't mean anything has changed.
**[12:43] ---**
Hinamizawa is still Onigafuchi,
the village where demons lived.
**[12:48] ---**
But that's...
**[12:50] ---**
Of course, as far as I know,
**[12:52] ---**
nobody's ever used these instruments
for their intended purpose.
**[12:59] ---**
But...
**[13:00] ---**
The rumor that these tools
are here and ready if necessary...
**[13:05] ---**
...is no rumor, but fact.
**[13:11] ---**
What the hell is this place?
**[13:20] ---**
This is my uncle's safe room.
**[13:23] ---**
It's the most secure place on our property.
**[13:27] ---**
This door is so tough, not even bullets
could leave a scratch on it.
**[13:31] ---**
There's... still more down here?
**[13:40] ---**
Boy, feels like you could live down here.
**[13:43] ---**
Because you can. There's plenty of food,
a phone, and electricity.
**[13:47] ---**
And, of course, a bathroom.
**[13:50] ---**
You could live down here for
a whole month if you needed to.
**[13:56] ---**
So you don't have to worry, Kei-*chan*.
**[14:01] ---**
What do you mean?
**[14:02] ---**
What are you talking about, Mion?!
**[14:05] ---**
I want you to stay here
for a little while, Kei-*chan*.
**[14:09] ---**
Starting right now.
**[14:11] ---**
R-Right now?!
**[14:14] ---**
First off, what about my parents?
How are we gonna tell them?!
**[14:21] ---**
What're you doing?!
**[14:24] ---**
Mion!
**[14:25] ---**
Let me out!
**[14:26] ---**
This is the only way.
**[14:29] ---**
As long as there are people
who want to carry out the curse...
**[14:33] ---**
As long as the soil that grows
and feeds those people is still fertile...
**[14:39] ---**
I understand that, but why?!
**[14:42] ---**
Because I'm going to
*do something* about it!
**[14:46] ---**
You just need to stay here till I'm done!
**[14:47] ---**
But Mion--!
**[14:48] ---**
It's okay! I just want you
to stay safe until then!
**[14:55] ---**
Fine, but you don't have to lock me down here!
**[14:59] ---**
This locked cell is going
to keep you safe, Kei-*chan*.
**[15:03] ---**
--Huh?
--If worse comes to worst,
**[15:06] ---**
you can tell people that I locked you
up in here--that you're just a victim!
**[15:18] ---**
Mion, what are you planning on doing?
**[15:25] ---**
In Hinamizawa, if anyone is ever in trouble,
**[15:29] ---**
then someone who has the power
to help them will do what they can to help.
**[15:33] ---**
That's the spirit of community
that binds us villagers together.
**[15:39] ---**
Right... Like when those punks
were threatening me.
**[15:42] ---**
That's right.
**[15:43] ---**
But that community spirit
warped and changed,
**[15:46] ---**
ever since that horrible incident...
**[15:48] ---**
The war over the dam.
**[15:50] ---**
Soon, it wasn't about
helping people be happier.
**[15:52] ---**
It was about getting revenge
on behalf of the village.
**[15:56] ---**
It became this evil, negative thing,
and that's why Satoko's family was...
**[16:02] ---**
All that turned our kind custom
where we helped one another
**[16:06] ---**
into a cruel custom where
we hated and hurt one another.
**[16:10] ---**
The fault falls upon
the Three Great Families, mine included.
**[16:13] ---**
But all that happened so long ago!
**[16:16] ---**
You're right, Kei-*chan*. This isn't
the olden days of men and demons.
**[16:20] ---**
This is the present. It's 1983.
**[16:25] ---**
And as the de facto head
of the Three Great Families,
**[16:29] ---**
and heiress to the Sonozaki Family,
**[16:32] ---**
it's my job to put an end to
this "custom" once and for all!
**[16:35] ---**
It created "Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse,"
**[16:37] ---**
and not only has it gone on
for five straight years,
**[16:41] ---**
but it's turned into this monstrous thing
we can no longer control!
**[16:45] ---**
It has to be me. I have to fix this!
**[16:50] ---**
I don't know what
you're going to try to do, Mion,
**[16:54] ---**
but if there's anything I can do
to help, please tell me!
**[16:57] ---**
You don't have to do this alone!
**[17:01] ---**
Kei-*chan*, remember the board game tournament?
When you gave me that doll?
**[17:09] ---**
You treated me like a girl...
**[17:13] ---**
And that made me happy.
**[17:16] ---**
I love you, Kei-*chan*.
**[17:18] ---**
That's why I need to protect you!
**[17:22] ---**
And the only way to protect you
is to end this "tradition" once and for all!
**[17:28] ---**
Mion...
**[17:39] ---**
Does that mean someone's here?
**[17:40] ---**
So their minion's here instead.
**[17:45] ---**
That, or they've caught on.
**[17:48] ---**
How interesting. I suppose I'll go say hello.
**[17:51] ---**
Mion, what are you...?
**[17:53] ---**
Sorry, Kei-*chan*. I've got to go greet my guest.
**[18:02] ---**
Is that a gun?! Hey!
**[18:04] ---**
What are you gonna do with that?!
**[18:06] ---**
That's not a real gun, is it?!
**[18:11] ---**
I might be gone for a bit.
**[18:13] ---**
This could take a while.
**[18:16] ---**
Mion! What are you going to do?!
**[18:18] ---**
Wait, the police! Just get the cops to help you!
**[18:21] ---**
Sorry, Kei-*chan*, but I can't trust the cops.
**[18:24] ---**
Not here in Hinamizawa.
**[18:27] ---**
If, somehow, I don't come back,
and someone else finds you here...
**[18:33] ---**
Just tell them that I caught you
and locked you away down here.
**[18:37] ---**
Then you should be safe.
**[18:39] ---**
Mion! Hey!
**[18:41] ---**
Wait, Mion! Don't!
**[18:42] ---**
Wait!
**[18:47] ---**
Mion...
**[19:11] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:41] ---**
Mion!
**[19:52] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Are you still with us?!
**[19:59] ---**
Maebara-*san*!
**[20:09] ---**
"June XXth, 1983"
**[20:23] ---**
Mion...
**[20:24] ---**
Maebara-*san*!
**[20:28] ---**
I stopped by the hospital, but they said
you'd been discharged today.
**[20:33] ---**
How are you? Feeling better?
**[20:36] ---**
Much better, thank you.
**[20:37] ---**
Boy, if it hadn't been for that
detective nearby hearing that gunshot,
**[20:41] ---**
we might not've found out about all that.
**[20:44] ---**
I'm glad we were at least able to
get *you* out of there safe and sound!
**[20:51] ---**
Wait, what? Does that mean Mion's--
**[20:53] ---**
Okay, stay calm, now.
**[20:55] ---**
How the hell am I supposed to stay calm?!
**[20:57] ---**
Maebara-*san*, did you know about
the well in that underground prison?
**[21:06] ---**
No.
**[21:07] ---**
That was my first time going down there,
so I don't know about a well.
**[21:12] ---**
When we investigated the bottom of that well...
**[21:14] ---**
...we found bodies.
**[21:19] ---**
The bodies of Oryo Sonozaki, Kiichiro Kimiyoshi,
**[21:23] ---**
and Shion Sonozaki, to be precise.
**[21:28] ---**
Shion?! No...
**[21:29] ---**
We also found skeletal remains
that were over ten years old,
**[21:34] ---**
belonging to at least three separate victims.
**[21:37] ---**
Talk about a dark side of Hinamizawa.
**[21:41] ---**
We also found Rika Furude.
**[21:44] ---**
You found her?!
**[21:45] ---**
Unfortunately, when we found her,
she was deceased.
**[21:51] ---**
She was found in the septic tank of
the outhouse at your school,
**[21:55] ---**
in pretty gruesome condition, too.
**[21:58] ---**
Wait, was that...
**[22:01] ---**
--Huh?
--Kei-*chan*, over here!
**[22:03] ---**
And then...
**[22:07] ---**
What about Mion?
**[22:09] ---**
Mion Sonozaki...
**[22:11] ---**
...was found dead alongside
the body of Satoko Hojo.
**[22:19] ---**
They were lying in a hallway
of the Sonozaki mansion.
**[22:23] ---**
With this many dead bodies popping up at once,
**[22:28] ---**
there's a whole mountain
of things we need to look into.
**[22:33] ---**
Maebara-*san*, I may need to ask you
more questions sometime.
**[22:38] ---**
If that happens, I hope you'll help us out.
**[22:41] ---**
And if I learn anything,
I'll be sure to let you know.
**[22:47] ---**
I'll see you again soon. Rest up, okay?
**[22:53] ---**
Mion said that underground room
was the safest place in Hinamizawa...
**[22:57] ---**
But that's where they found Shion's dead body.
**[23:06] ---**
And when I went looking
for Rika-*chan* with Mion,
**[23:11] ---**
that's where they found Rika-*chan*'s dead body.
**[23:17] ---**
That makes it seem...
**[23:19] ---**
...like Mion was the one who killed everyone!
**[23:29] ---**
Was Mion really trying to protect me
from some conspiracy against me,
**[23:34] ---**
or...
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:23] ---**
Hello? I know you're in there!
**[00:29] ---**
Piss off.
**[00:32] ---**
A few tenants have made complaints
about the smell from your unit!
**[00:37] ---**
I said piss off, bitch!
**[00:40] ---**
What the shit am I supposed
to do about it, huh?!
**[00:42] ---**
Stop makin' up stuff to come
shit on me about, asshole!
**[00:49] ---**
Dumbass bitch!

"Prescription Teppei Hojo"
**[01:01] ---**
"Thursday, June 9th, 1983"
**[01:03] ---**
My! What an extravagant lunch
you've brought, Mion-*san*!
**[01:09] ---**
There're so many different things
in there! What a treat!
**[01:12] ---**
The mayor and his friends came over
to drink and hang out last night,
**[01:15] ---**
so I stole a bit of the leftover
food for lunch today.
**[01:19] ---**
Guess that explains why so much
of your lunch is snacky stuff.
**[01:22] ---**
Man, though, I should've known you'd be
good at piecing together a nice lunch.
**[01:29] ---**
Rena's lunch looks really great, too!
**[01:32] ---**
Thanks! It's not as nice as Mion's,
but I think it's kinda cute.
**[01:36] ---**
But your secret ingredient's love, right?
**[01:38] ---**
My lunch doesn't even
measure up to yours there!
**[01:41] ---**
We'd better learn from their brilliant examples.
**[01:44] ---**
What do you guys have for lunch?
**[01:47] ---**
Ta-dah!
**[01:50] ---**
We got some nice meat from a neighbor!
**[01:53] ---**
It looks super protein-heavy, but it's
actually pretty well-balanced! Nice!
**[01:57] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s going to make
her husband very happy someday!
**[02:01] ---**
I'll have a tight grip on him and his stomach.
**[02:05] ---**
And then you've got Satoko...
**[02:07] ---**
Whatever are you implying?!
**[02:09] ---**
I may not be as skilled a chef as Rika,
but I can hold my own in the kitchen!
**[02:15] ---**
But can you tell the difference
between cauliflower and broccoli?
**[02:20] ---**
Of course!
**[02:22] ---**
Broccoli is green...
**[02:24] ---**
No, the yellow one is...
**[02:28] ---**
C'mon, now, what color is broccoli?
**[02:35] ---**
You're so mean, Keiichi-*san*!
**[02:39] ---**
If you're gonna be that smug about it,
you'd better be a good cook yourself.
**[02:44] ---**
I-I know I'm at least better than Satoko!
Even if it's *just* Satoko!
**[02:50] ---**
Excuse me?!
**[02:51] ---**
Okay, then why don't you show us
your cooking skills at lunch tomorrow?
**[02:57] ---**
And no cheating, like getting
someone else to make your lunch!
**[03:02] ---**
My, what a wonderful idea!
Do you accept, Keiichi-*san*?
**[03:09] ---**
Sure, bring it!
**[03:11] ---**
My lunch is gonna knock
your damn socks off tomorrow!
**[03:15] ---**
I can't wait to see what you bring!
**[03:19] ---**
Keiichi:
**[03:21] ---**
Your dad and I have to go to
Tokyo for some urgent work.
**[03:26] ---**
We'll be there for the next few days,
**[03:28] ---**
so this is the perfect time to
learn how to cook for yourself!
**[03:34] ---**
*Why?!* Of all the times, why *now*?!
**[03:37] ---**
Fine, then! I'll do it myself!
**[03:42] ---**
I can cook, too, dammit!
**[03:50] ---**
I have no clue what I'm doing!
**[03:53] ---**
"Vegetable Stir-Fry"
Got it! All I gotta do is fry stuff up!
**[03:59] ---**
Next!
**[04:02] ---**
"Add a teaspoon of oil"?
**[04:05] ---**
The heck is a "teaspoon"?
**[04:08] ---**
Is this enough?
**[04:12] ---**
Nice! Now *this* is cooking!
**[04:15] ---**
What on earth are you doing?!
**[04:28] ---**
Satoko and Rika-*chan*?
**[04:30] ---**
What're you guys doing here?
You're trespassing!
**[04:34] ---**
And you're committing
an act of arson, Keiichi-*san*!
**[04:39] ---**
Wait, was I really about to burn my house down?
**[04:42] ---**
Yes, you most certainly were!
**[04:44] ---**
If we hadn't come by,
**[04:46] ---**
your house would go "whoosh"
and the fire trucks would go "wee-woo"!
**[04:49] ---**
S-Sorry about that...
**[04:52] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[04:54] ---**
Here I'd come to see if your skills
really did live up to your bragging...
**[05:02] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, please step out of the kitchen.
**[05:06] ---**
Satoko?
**[05:07] ---**
Just be quiet and wait out here, Keiichi.
**[05:13] ---**
My goodness, what is it with men
and being so careless?
**[05:19] ---**
Keiichi-*san*! If you have time
to sit there like a buffoon,
**[05:22] ---**
then you have time to set the table!
**[05:24] ---**
R-Right.
**[05:26] ---**
We'll get to eat soon.
**[05:29] ---**
We'll all have dinner here, at your house!
**[05:33] ---**
You're sure in a good mood, Rika-*chan*.
**[05:36] ---**
Wish Satoko were more like that
instead of totally angry.
**[05:38] ---**
You're wrong.
**[05:40] ---**
Satoko's not angry at all.
**[05:43] ---**
She hasn't done this in a while,
so she's having a lot of fun.
**[05:46] ---**
My word, he's so pathetic...
**[05:49] ---**
She's having fun? Does that look like "fun"?
**[05:52] ---**
This reminds Satoko of what it was like
when her *Nii-Nii* was around.
**[05:55] ---**
Big what?
**[05:56] ---**
That was what she calls her big brother.
**[05:59] ---**
His name is Satoshi.
**[06:01] ---**
I didn't know Satoko had
an older brother. That's news to me.
**[06:06] ---**
Satoko was always this happy
when she was with Satoshi.
**[06:13] ---**
You said "was." Does that mean
he's not around anymore?
**[06:18] ---**
The food is ready!
**[06:21] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, where is your rice scoop?
**[06:26] ---**
Dinner is served!
**[06:29] ---**
I'm so hungry!
**[06:30] ---**
Thank you for cooking!
**[06:39] ---**
The rice is nice and fluffy,
and the miso soup is great, too!
**[06:45] ---**
Experiencing a change in opinion over there?
**[06:47] ---**
I was wrong about you, Satoko.
**[06:54] ---**
You win by a long shot.
**[06:57] ---**
While I'm certainly honored
by your kind words,
**[06:59] ---**
this meal isn't that extravagant.
**[07:02] ---**
I only made the rice and the miso soup myself.
The sides are all from a can.
**[07:08] ---**
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
**[07:11] ---**
This is an amazing meal.
**[07:14] ---**
Well, so long as you understand
that I do have some cooking ability,
**[07:20] ---**
then I suppose this will have to do.
**[07:24] ---**
This is so fun! It reminds me of when
we'd eat dinner with Satoshi.
**[07:31] ---**
It does. I wonder what he's doing right now.
**[07:38] ---**
Oh, Satoshi is my *Nii-Nii*--
**[07:42] ---**
I mean, my *big brother*!
**[07:46] ---**
He can barely take care of himself,
yet he still ran away from home!
**[07:52] ---**
--He ran away?
--Yes, but I'm sure he'll give up
eventually and come home.
**[08:02] ---**
What is it?
**[08:03] ---**
I never knew you were this mature, Satoko.
**[08:07] ---**
I-I've always been this mature!
**[08:11] ---**
Do you wish you could see your *Nii-Nii*?
**[08:14] ---**
I-I didn't say he was my "*Nii-Nii*"!
**[08:16] ---**
He's my *big brother*! Say it properly!
**[08:18] ---**
You did say that, though.
**[08:20] ---**
--Sure did.
--I-I did not!
**[08:22] ---**
I do *not* call my *Nii-Nii*
by a nickname like that!
**[08:26] ---**
Thanks for cooking today.
**[08:27] ---**
If Satoko hadn't come by, you would've
been all grumbly in your tumbly!
**[08:32] ---**
Indeed!
**[08:34] ---**
Keiichi-*san*! Be sure to brush
your teeth before bed!
**[08:38] ---**
Will do, Satoko!
**[08:39] ---**
Okay, have a good night!
**[08:47] ---**
What's up, Rika-*chan*?
**[08:49] ---**
You earned an A-plus today, Keiichi!
**[08:53] ---**
Have a round of applause!
**[08:55] ---**
I didn't do anything especially
deserving of a pat on the back...
**[08:58] ---**
I bet Satoko felt like her *Nii-Nii*
had come home for her,
**[09:02] ---**
and that made her really happy!
**[09:05] ---**
I can't play the same role Satoshi
did for her, but I think you can, Keiichi.
**[09:11] ---**
Rika! Why ever are you lollygagging?!
**[09:15] ---**
Okay, I have to go.
**[09:18] ---**
See ya.
**[09:29] ---**
"Friday, June 10th, 1983"
**[09:32] ---**
"Sevens Mart" Listen up, now!
**[09:34] ---**
"Sevens Mart"
Most supermarkets have special sales
called "limited-time sales"!
**[09:37] ---**
Uh-huh?
**[09:38] ---**
If you wait just a bit, the pork
for your stir fry will be half price!
**[09:43] ---**
If we wanna save money,
why don't we get this family pack?
**[09:46] ---**
Are you planning on feeding a family?!
**[09:49] ---**
My goodness, Keiichi-*san*.
**[09:50] ---**
You are utterly lacking in
financial management skills.
**[09:54] ---**
This after you begged for my assistance!
**[10:03] ---**
Shopping for ingredients is pretty fun.
Now I can't wait for dinner.
**[10:07] ---**
It's just one of the many
wonderful facets of cooking.
**[10:10] ---**
Our stir fry tonight will be
absolutely scrumptious!
**[10:14] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:17] ---**
Especially 'cause you're the one
who's gonna be making it, Satoko.
**[10:20] ---**
Oh, w-well of course!
**[10:24] ---**
I'm glad you're looking forward to it!
**[10:36] ---**
Oh, yeah! This is the kind of
stir fry I was hoping for!
**[10:43] ---**
And it's good! So freakin' good!
**[10:49] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, have you washed your hands?
**[10:52] ---**
Can't I just wash them after?
**[10:54] ---**
No, you cannot!
**[10:55] ---**
You must always wash
your hands before dinner!
**[10:59] ---**
All right, all right...
**[11:14] ---**
I thought you might fall
for that one, Keiichi-*san*!
**[11:17] ---**
S-Satoko!
**[11:20] ---**
I can't believe you...
**[11:27] ---**
What is it, Keiichi-*san*?
**[11:29] ---**
Oh, just...
**[11:30] ---**
I'm an only child, so this is kind of nice.
**[11:37] ---**
Your parents won't be home
to cook for you anytime soon, correct?
**[11:41] ---**
If you'd like--
**[11:46] ---**
Mom? What's up?
**[11:48] ---**
We finished up work earlier than we thought!
**[11:52] ---**
We'll be home tomorrow morning.
**[11:55] ---**
Huh? Tomorrow?
**[11:57] ---**
Wow, okay.
**[12:02] ---**
"Saturday, June 11th, 1983"
**[12:05] ---**
I'm home.
**[12:06] ---**
Good timing! You've got a call from Rena-*chan*!
**[12:11] ---**
What's up, Rena? Is club stuff happening?
**[12:13] ---**
This is different, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:15] ---**
I need you to help us win a fight!
**[12:18] ---**
F-Fight?!
**[12:19] ---**
They've driven Satoko-*chan* into a corner,
and she's in real big trouble!
**[12:23] ---**
Satoko's in trouble?!
Got it, I'll be right there!
**[12:37] ---**
I'm coming, Satoko!
**[12:44] ---**
I'll beat them all to a pulp!
**[12:53] ---**
Wait, what?
**[12:55] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:57] ---**
Satoko-*chan*, Keiichi-*kun*'s here!
**[13:00] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s here to help us!
**[13:03] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*, over here!
**[13:18] ---**
Hey, Keiichi-*kun*, can I ask
you a question? Can I...?
**[13:25] ---**
Y-You could've *told* me this "fight"
was just a baseball game!
**[13:33] ---**
What?!
**[13:34] ---**
I don't even need to run the bases!
**[13:38] ---**
We won, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[13:41] ---**
Why did you even need me?
**[13:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:47] ---**
All right, Coach, you remember the deal, right?
**[13:51] ---**
Yeah, I remember...
**[13:53] ---**
Tomorrow, I'll host a big barbecue.
**[13:57] ---**
Yeah! Make sure you get
the really expensive beef.
**[14:00] ---**
Don't get cheap on us and bring a bunch
of vegetables, or you'll regret it!
**[14:06] ---**
Poor, poor Irie, and poor, poor Irie's wallet!
**[14:14] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th, 1983"
**[14:20] ---**
This meat is incredible!
**[14:22] ---**
I expected no less!
**[14:25] ---**
Third-rate cuts would be a pitiful reward
for my stellar performance!
**[14:30] ---**
You've got a point. Your game-ending
home run won us the game yesterday.
**[14:35] ---**
Satoko is athletically gifted!
**[14:37] ---**
She's not just gifted; she's one of
the best athletes of our generation!
**[14:43] ---**
Please, you're going to make me blush!
**[14:46] ---**
They sure sound like
they're having fun over here.
**[14:49] ---**
Huh?
**[14:50] ---**
Watching Satoko-*chan* makes my heart
feel healed. Wouldn't you agree?
**[14:54] ---**
Uhh...
**[14:55] ---**
I'm Irie, but everyone calls me Coach.
**[15:01] ---**
You... sure seem to like Satoko, huh, Coach?
**[15:05] ---**
Yeah, I do. I like her a lot.
**[15:08] ---**
In fact, when she gets older,
I hope to marry her.
**[15:12] ---**
Wait... what?!
**[15:14] ---**
Oh? Are you gunning for
Satoko-*chan*'s hand, too?
**[15:18] ---**
Well, this is awkward.
**[15:23] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s older brother, Satoshi-*kun*,
was on the Hinamizawa Fighters.
**[15:30] ---**
Oh, he was?
**[15:34] ---**
I wish he could've played
with us a little longer...
**[15:38] ---**
But he left Hinamizawa about a year ago.
**[15:42] ---**
Why did he leave?
**[15:44] ---**
A series of unfortunate events.
**[15:48] ---**
It was right around now when
it happened, three years ago.
**[15:53] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s parents were involved
in an untimely accident.
**[15:56] ---**
--An accident?
--Yes.
**[15:59] ---**
While they were on vacation,
**[16:01] ---**
they fell off an observation deck
on a cliff and... that was that.
**[16:04] ---**
So now, Satoko-*chan* is living with Furude-*san*,
who also lost her parents,
**[16:09] ---**
and the two of them support one another.
**[16:13] ---**
I've seriously considered adopting her.
**[16:18] ---**
Really?
**[16:19] ---**
But there are legal issues to deal with...
**[16:22] ---**
Issues that would prevent me
from adopting Satoko-*chan*.
**[16:27] ---**
It's really too bad.
**[16:28] ---**
Guess my master plan to get her to
call me "Papa" won't get anywhere soon.
**[16:34] ---**
I just want her to always be smiling.
**[16:40] ---**
Me, too.
**[16:42] ---**
Oh, you, too, Maebara-*san*?
**[16:45] ---**
Will you promise me something, then?
**[16:47] ---**
Promise you'll never make her cry.
**[16:52] ---**
Yeah, I promise.
**[16:55] ---**
Hypothetically, if you *were* able
to adopt her, what would you do?
**[17:00] ---**
That's a difficult question.
**[17:03] ---**
You'd get her to call you "Master"
and train her to be your personal maid.
**[17:08] ---**
What? Where's *that* coming from?
**[17:11] ---**
Uhh, I didn't say that...
**[17:13] ---**
Then, you'd make your well-trained pet
wear a maid outfit...
**[17:18] ---**
Oh, Satoko-*chan* in a maid outfit
would certainly look cute...
**[17:23] ---**
See, you said it yourself!
**[17:25] ---**
Shion!
**[17:27] ---**
Okay, I've got to go!
**[17:30] ---**
Hold it right there, Shion!
Why are you even here?
**[17:35] ---**
Well, you see,
**[17:37] ---**
I'm the manager of the
Hinamizawa Fighters!
**[17:40] ---**
Manager?! Then why didn't I
see you at the game yesterday?
**[17:44] ---**
That's because I'm not just a manager,
I'm a *phantom* manager!
**[17:49] ---**
The match would've been so much better
if you were there watching.
**[17:53] ---**
Come cheer us on next time, okay?
**[17:56] ---**
I'll certainly think about it.
**[17:58] ---**
Oh, before I forget!
**[18:00] ---**
Let me in on that promise of yours, all right?
**[18:03] ---**
Promise? You mean the one about Satoko?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes! After all, I'm Satoko's "*Nee-Nee*!"
**[18:10] ---**
What?
**[18:11] ---**
--Satoko! Your *Nee-Nee* is here!
**[18:13] ---**
--Whoa, Shion?!
--Could you please unhand me?!
--Satoko! Your *Nee-Nee* is here!
**[18:16] ---**
--Besides, I don't *need* a *Nee-Nee*!
--I wish moments like these could last forever.
**[18:20] ---**
Please, stop this at once!
**[18:29] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[18:31] ---**
Wait, where's Satoko?
**[18:32] ---**
Satoko went to go shopping for dinner.
**[18:36] ---**
She did? At just the right time, too.
**[18:39] ---**
She totally skipped out on clean-up!
**[18:42] ---**
Unlike you, Keiichi, Satoko is really clever!
**[18:51] ---**
Only a week to the Watanagashi festival.
**[18:54] ---**
I wonder if Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
is gonna strike again this year...
**[18:58] ---**
Last year, it got Satoshi-*san*...
**[19:00] ---**
Is it gonna happen again this year?
**[19:04] ---**
The rainy season was so short this year,
it feels like summer came early!
**[19:08] ---**
I'm glad it did. It would suck
to have it rain on Watanagashi.
**[19:14] ---**
Kei-*chan*?
**[19:15] ---**
Hey...
**[19:17] ---**
Can I ask you guys about Satoko's brother?
**[19:20] ---**
Oh, uh, Satoshi?
**[19:24] ---**
Yeah, about a year ago he, uh...
transferred to another school.
**[19:28] ---**
He transferred schools?
**[19:29] ---**
Does that have anything to do
with Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse?
**[19:42] ---**
Kei-*chan*, I promised to
lend you some manga, right?
**[19:47] ---**
Wanna swing by my place to pick them up?
**[19:48] ---**
Huh? You never said anything about--
**[19:54] ---**
O-Oh, right, I remember.
**[19:56] ---**
Okay, then I'm gonna head home.
**[19:59] ---**
See you tomorrow, Rena.
**[20:01] ---**
Yup, see you then.
**[20:06] ---**
Kei-*chan*, how much do you know
about Satoko's family?
**[20:10] ---**
Her parents died in an accident,
and her brother left Hinamizawa.
**[20:15] ---**
Satoko's parents were
proponents of the dam project.
**[20:20] ---**
Wait, I thought everyone in
Hinamizawa was against the dam.
**[20:26] ---**
The government was gonna pay people
to move out and let them build the dam.
**[20:30] ---**
Some people in the village weren't
against the dam project at all.
**[20:34] ---**
Satoko's parents were
the leaders of that pro-dam faction.
**[20:38] ---**
Unfortunately, her parents died on the day
of the festival to Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[20:45] ---**
So rumors went around that they died
because Oyashiro-*sama* cursed them.
**[20:51] ---**
People say Satoshi ran away
because of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse, too.
**[20:55] ---**
We figure Satoko doesn't want
to hear about her parents dying,
**[20:59] ---**
her brother running away,
and Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse,
**[21:04] ---**
so we try not to talk about any of it.
**[21:11] ---**
You understand, right?
**[21:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:19] ---**
Sorry, I should've had a little more tact.
**[21:22] ---**
Besides, Satoko is living
a happy life with Rika-*chan* now.
**[21:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:31] ---**
...for now.
**[21:43] ---**
The hell are you lookin' at?!
**[21:45] ---**
N-Nothing!
**[21:47] ---**
C'mon, get inside, Satoko.
**[21:51] ---**
Yes, Uncle Teppei.
**[22:19] ---**
*Wind gently flowing through my hair,
time flowing endlessly*
**[22:24] ---**
*A one-way ticket to the future*

that day are silent*
**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*

It hurts...
**[00:29] ---**
It hurts? This is nothing.

You sure are late, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[02:24] ---**
Did you oversleep again? Did you?
**[02:27] ---**
Sorry, Rena. I had this weird dream
and couldn't get back to sleep.
**[02:32] ---**
A weird dream? What kind of dream?
**[02:35] ---**
I can't remember what happened in it,
but I think it was about Satoko.
**[02:39] ---**
Crap, we gotta hurry!
**[02:42] ---**
You're right, we're gonna be late!
**[02:44] ---**
Let's start running!
I bet Mion's gonna be mad at us!
**[02:53] ---**
We made it.
**[02:55] ---**
I can't believe you guys.
**[02:57] ---**
Huh? Rika-*chan* and Satoko aren't here yet?
**[03:01] ---**
Those two are never late.
**[03:04] ---**
Maybe Satoko partied too hard at
the barbecue and is feeling sick today.
**[03:12] ---**
Mion?
**[03:15] ---**
Good morning, class.
**[03:19] ---**
Class rep, will you get us started?
**[03:21] ---**
Uh, right! Please stand!
**[03:28] ---**
You're late, Furude-*san*.
And where is Hojo-*san*?
**[03:33] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[03:36] ---**
Satoko... might be a little late today.
**[03:40] ---**
Okay.
**[03:45] ---**
Sup.
**[03:47] ---**
You got yelled at for being late!
Poor, poor Rika-*chan*!
**[03:57] ---**
What's up with Satoko? Is she sick?
**[04:11] ---**
Dammit...
**[04:13] ---**
C'mon!
**[04:15] ---**
Got it, Maebara-*san*!
**[04:18] ---**
--Thank you so much!
--Thank you so much!
**[04:21] ---**
Hello there, young man.
Sorry to bother you during lunch.
**[04:29] ---**
Don't worry, I'm no stranger.
I'm a detective with the Okinomiya Police.
**[04:35] ---**
The name's Ooishi.
**[04:36] ---**
"Gifu Prefecture Police"
The name's Ooishi.
**[04:37] ---**
"Gifu Prefecture Police"
You're a detective? I can show you
where the teacher's room is--
**[04:38] ---**
You're a detective? I can show you
where the teacher's room is--
**[04:40] ---**
Oh, no. I'd actually like to speak
with one of your friends:
**[04:45] ---**
Satoko Hojo-*san*.
**[04:48] ---**
What do you need Satoko for?
**[04:50] ---**
Nothing important. I just want
to ask her a few questions.
**[04:55] ---**
Would you mind helping me find her?
**[04:58] ---**
If you just want to ask her questions,
why don't you just call her?
**[05:01] ---**
You shouldn't come bother her at school.
**[05:06] ---**
Well, that's a little harsh.
**[05:08] ---**
What are you, Satoko-*san*'s manager?
**[05:12] ---**
Excuse me, girls!
**[05:16] ---**
Could you go get Satoko Hojo-*san* for me?
**[05:19] ---**
Uh...
**[05:20] ---**
She's not here today.
**[05:23] ---**
She's not here?
**[05:25] ---**
Just my luck.
**[05:27] ---**
One more thing: what's the name
of this gentleman right here?
**[05:31] ---**
Keiichi Maebara-*san*.
**[05:33] ---**
Is that so!
**[05:35] ---**
You must be the Maebara boy
I've heard so much about!
**[05:40] ---**
Let me let you in on
a little secret, Maebara-*san*.
**[05:46] ---**
Around these parts, you'd best not
make any enemies. Else...
**[05:51] ---**
That's enough, Detective.
**[05:53] ---**
Well, if it isn't Doctor Irie!
**[05:57] ---**
I was just thinking about
stopping by your clinic to talk to you.
**[06:00] ---**
You'd better bring a warrant
with you if you do.
**[06:04] ---**
I don't have to answer your questions
if you don't have one.
**[06:10] ---**
We'll talk again soon.
**[06:13] ---**
Dammit...
**[06:19] ---**
It hurt so bad, but there's
not even a mark on me.
**[06:24] ---**
That means he's used
to threatening people like that.
**[06:29] ---**
What's up with that guy?
**[06:32] ---**
He said he needed to talk to Satoko.
**[06:35] ---**
He'd better not start
bothering Satoko-*chan* again.
**[06:39] ---**
The man's a stubborn little snake.
**[06:42] ---**
Huh?
**[06:43] ---**
That's right, you've only just
moved here, Maebara-*san*.
**[06:48] ---**
Have you heard about Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse?
**[06:53] ---**
Yeah, I know Satoko's parents
were dam proponents,
**[06:56] ---**
and when they died,
everyone said it was that curse.
**[06:59] ---**
So you have. Good.
**[07:01] ---**
After their parents died,
**[07:02] ---**
Satoko-*chan* and Satoshi-*kun* moved back
in with their aunt and uncle.
**[07:07] ---**
Huh? I didn't know that...
**[07:10] ---**
The uncle was her father's younger brother.
**[07:15] ---**
Unfortunately, neither him nor his wife
were very respectable people.
**[07:21] ---**
The second they became
their legal guardians,
**[07:24] ---**
they stole all the money
their dead parents left behind.
**[07:29] ---**
They'd yell at the children,
scold them for the smallest things,
**[07:32] ---**
even deny them meals.
**[07:34] ---**
And they would constantly beat them, too.
**[07:39] ---**
It might be hard for you to imagine
what that did to her, Maebara-*san*,
**[07:42] ---**
seeing as you only know the peppy,
energetic Satoko-*chan*.
**[07:45] ---**
So something happened that
changed Satoko... what was it?
**[07:49] ---**
Just about a year ago, on the night
of Watanagashi, her aunt died.
**[07:55] ---**
She was beaten to death with a bat
by a drug-addicted miscreant.
**[08:02] ---**
Her uncle fled Hinamizawa, fearing it was
the work of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[08:08] ---**
And that's how Satoko got away from him?
**[08:11] ---**
That's right.
**[08:12] ---**
But right after he left,
that snake stepped in...
**[08:15] ---**
Kurado Ooishi.
**[08:18] ---**
That Detective...
**[08:20] ---**
He's a little on the strange side.
**[08:22] ---**
All these incidents that have been
labeled as "Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse"
**[08:25] ---**
have all been determined to be
accidents or the work of some criminal.
**[08:31] ---**
But despite all that, he still won't
give up on trying to solve them.
**[08:35] ---**
They have a nickname for Ooishi
here in Hinamizawa...
**[08:40] ---**
They call him "Oyashiro-*sama*'s familiar."
**[08:44] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*'s familiar...
**[08:53] ---**
Rika-*chan*, is Satoko gonna come for lunch?
**[08:58] ---**
If Rika-*chan* doesn't wanna tell us,
we'll just have to wait for her.
**[09:02] ---**
It might not be that big of a deal, anyway.
**[09:07] ---**
Hey, Mion. You know something, don't you?
**[09:10] ---**
--Why do you think that?
--You've been acting weird all morning.
**[09:15] ---**
Last night, I heard a rumor from
someone on the neighborhood council.
**[09:21] ---**
A rumor?
**[09:22] ---**
So Satoko has this uncle...
**[09:24] ---**
By uncle, you mean the one who beat her?!
**[09:28] ---**
Yeah. So you heard about him already, huh?
**[09:31] ---**
So Satoko's uncle, Teppei Hojo,
**[09:35] ---**
is apparently back in Hinamizawa.
**[09:43] ---**
Satoko!
**[09:45] ---**
Whatever is the matter, Keiichi-*san*?
**[09:47] ---**
We were worried about you!
Where've you been all morning?!
**[09:52] ---**
You're quite the worrywart, aren't you?
**[09:56] ---**
Satoko-*chan*...
**[09:58] ---**
Are you okay?
**[10:00] ---**
Do forgive me for the trouble.
**[10:02] ---**
I was merely running errands
for my uncle, that's all.
**[10:06] ---**
Errands? On a school day?!
**[10:08] ---**
Enough of that. Let's have lunch.
**[10:12] ---**
I'm feeling quite peckish.
**[10:17] ---**
Satoko...
**[10:22] ---**
Okay! All five of us are here,
so let's get the games going!
**[10:27] ---**
Yeah, let's do this!
**[10:29] ---**
Right, Satoko-*chan*?
**[10:33] ---**
"Catch the Murderer" "Othello" "Let's Go Fish!"
Today, we'll play whatever game
you wanna play, Satoko!
**[10:38] ---**
C'mon, what'll it be, huh?
**[10:40] ---**
Thank you for the offer,
but I must respectfully decline.
**[10:45] ---**
C'mon, Satoko!
**[10:46] ---**
Deserting a battle is grounds for a penalty!
**[10:50] ---**
That's club rule number, uh... what again?
**[10:53] ---**
Stop it, Mii-*chan*.
You shouldn't force her to play.
**[10:57] ---**
I wasn't gonna...
**[10:59] ---**
I'm really thankful for the offer, truly.
**[11:04] ---**
But I have some matters
that must be taken care of.
**[11:08] ---**
Satoko...
**[11:12] ---**
Hey, we're all friends. Right, guys?
**[11:16] ---**
--Yeah.
--Yeah.
**[11:18] ---**
Rika-*chan*, could you tell us
what's going on now?
**[11:25] ---**
What happened?
**[11:27] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[11:29] ---**
Please, Rika-*chan*.
**[11:35] ---**
Yesterday, Satoko went shopping for groceries,
**[11:38] ---**
but she still wasn't back after sunset.
**[12:05] ---**
Satoko!
**[12:08] ---**
I was so worried. Let's get dinner started!
**[12:12] ---**
Rika.
**[12:13] ---**
I came to get my things.
**[12:17] ---**
Huh?
**[12:18] ---**
I'm going to be living with
my uncle from now on.
**[12:24] ---**
Satoko gathered everything she had and left.
**[12:31] ---**
So she's back to the same
crap situation as before, huh?
**[12:35] ---**
--No, it's gonna be so much worse!
--Why?
**[12:38] ---**
This time, Satoshi-*kun* isn't here.
**[12:42] ---**
Satoshi always protected Satoko.
**[12:46] ---**
He was the shield that stood between
his little sister and her abusers.
**[12:51] ---**
But now, Satoko's all alone
in that house with her uncle.
**[12:57] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:58] ---**
What he's doing is child abuse, right?
Can't we report it or something?
**[13:02] ---**
That's right! If we can find proof,
the police will--
**[13:05] ---**
We did report it.
**[13:07] ---**
I went to Child Welfare Services
in winter of last year.
**[13:09] ---**
You did? What'd they do?
**[13:12] ---**
They sent a social worker
to check it out right away.
**[13:15] ---**
They interviewed Satoko and Satoshi,
then their aunt and uncle.
**[13:20] ---**
Wait, why would they talk to the adults, too?
**[13:22] ---**
They said they wanted to "get both sides"
before making a decision.
**[13:26] ---**
How wonderfully "fair."
**[13:28] ---**
--So what did Child Welfare say in the end?
-- "We'll keep an eye on them."
**[13:31] ---**
What? The hell does that mean?!
**[13:33] ---**
They were beating them, but it didn't
leave any marks or anything.
**[13:36] ---**
And it wasn't like anyone
got recordings of his tirades.
**[13:40] ---**
Since the violence only happened at home,
there were no other witnesses.
**[13:43] ---**
What happened after that?
**[13:44] ---**
You know what happened.
**[13:46] ---**
The abuse got even worse.
**[13:49] ---**
Reporting didn't work.
**[13:56] ---**
Is there really nothing we can do to help her?
**[14:06] ---**
Good morning, class.
**[14:11] ---**
Furude-*san*...
**[14:13] ---**
Is Hojo-*san* going to be late again today?
**[14:19] ---**
Study on your own for a bit, everyone.
**[14:23] ---**
Let's talk, Furude-*san*.
**[14:28] ---**
Is the rumor about Hojo-*san*'s uncle true?
**[14:33] ---**
I know what's going on, then.
**[14:36] ---**
--So?
--Huh?
**[14:38] ---**
If you know all that,
then what can you do to help her?
**[14:44] ---**
I'll go visit her at home.
**[14:46] ---**
If I see something's wrong...
**[14:49] ---**
You're gonna call Child Welfare
Services on him, right?
**[14:52] ---**
They won't do anything
if you don't have proof of abuse.
**[14:55] ---**
Guys...
**[14:56] ---**
I told you to study on your own!
**[14:58] ---**
Screw studying right now!
**[15:00] ---**
Satoko's way more important!
**[15:03] ---**
I need to know what Hojo-*san*'s
home environment is like
**[15:06] ---**
so I can make a truthful report!
**[15:09] ---**
I also think we should let
Chie-*sensei* handle this right now.
**[15:14] ---**
Me, too.
**[15:16] ---**
I agree with Rena.
**[15:19] ---**
If you're okay with that,
Rika-*chan*, then okay...
**[15:21] ---**
Class Representative, please take
everyone back to the classroom.
**[15:25] ---**
C'mon.
**[15:39] ---**
Hello! Are you here, Hojo-*san*?
**[15:44] ---**
The hell do you want, bitch?!
**[15:46] ---**
Are you Satoko-*san*'s uncle?
**[15:49] ---**
My name is Chie; I'm a teacher
at the school here in Hinamizawa.
**[15:52] ---**
You her teacher?
**[15:54] ---**
Can I speak with Satoko-*san*?
**[15:56] ---**
What? Why the hell you wanna talk to her?
**[16:00] ---**
She didn't come to school today,
and nobody called to report her absent.
**[16:05] ---**
Yeah, she's got a cold!
**[16:08] ---**
She's got a full-blown fever
and is feelin' like shit!
**[16:11] ---**
I see. Do you think she'll make it
to school tomorrow?
**[16:15] ---**
The hell should I know?!
**[16:16] ---**
We'll figure that out tomorrow!
**[16:30] ---**
How'd it go, Sensei?
**[16:32] ---**
You went to her place, right?
**[16:34] ---**
Chie-*sensei*!
**[16:36] ---**
You were all waiting for me?
**[16:38] ---**
How was Satoko? Is she okay?!
**[16:40] ---**
I... didn't get to see her.
**[16:45] ---**
What was the point of going over there, then?!
**[16:47] ---**
I can guess why you didn't see her.
**[16:52] ---**
He probably left marks on her,
and he didn't want you to see them!
**[16:57] ---**
I'm really sorry, everyone.
**[17:00] ---**
Stop it, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[17:02] ---**
She did everything she could.
**[17:05] ---**
Dammit!
**[17:06] ---**
But now we know what's going on.
**[17:08] ---**
Satoko's bastard uncle is keeping her
locked up in her house!
**[17:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:13] ---**
I'm going to call Child Welfare Services.
**[17:17] ---**
If I explain the situation to them,
I'm sure they'll do something about it.
**[17:21] ---**
I wasn't able to help...
**[17:23] ---**
But if you called, Sensei, then maybe...
**[17:29] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th, 1983"
**[17:32] ---**
"They'll keep an eye on them"?!
What the hell?!
**[17:35] ---**
They're not going to do anything?!
**[17:37] ---**
They did.
**[17:38] ---**
Apparently, Child Welfare Services
made a phone call to Satoko's house.
**[17:42] ---**
And that was it.
**[17:44] ---**
So they decided to just
"wait and see"? That's crazy!
**[17:47] ---**
My, you all are loud this morning!
**[17:51] ---**
Satoko?!
**[17:52] ---**
Quiet down, please.
**[17:54] ---**
Satoko-*chan*! Are you okay?
**[17:57] ---**
Child Welfare Services called, right?
What'd they say?
**[18:01] ---**
Which one of you contacted them?
**[18:04] ---**
My goodness, you've caused us
nothing but trouble.
**[18:07] ---**
We're all really worried about you, Satoko-*chan*.
**[18:10] ---**
We didn't do it to cause trouble.
**[18:13] ---**
Look, what happened?!
**[18:15] ---**
Nothing happened.
**[18:17] ---**
My cold cleared up, so I came to school!
**[18:23] ---**
What are you saying, Satoko?
**[18:30] ---**
Rika-*chan*, what the hell was that about?!
**[18:33] ---**
Satoko told the social worker
"everything is fine" and hung up.
**[18:40] ---**
Those morons! You know her uncle
told her to say that!
**[18:44] ---**
The abuse is still happening,
whether she says so or not!
**[18:48] ---**
This is actually the third time.
**[18:52] ---**
The third time for what?
**[18:53] ---**
This is the third time she's been
involved in a report of child abuse.
**[18:57] ---**
I know Mion reported it
in the winter of last year.
**[19:02] ---**
There was another before that?
**[19:04] ---**
Satoko's dad wasn't her real dad.
**[19:09] ---**
Huh?
**[19:10] ---**
Satoko and Satoshi's mom remarried.
He was their stepdad.
**[19:14] ---**
Even before they had to live
with their aunt and uncle,
**[19:17] ---**
their family life wasn't all that good.
**[19:22] ---**
Satoko wanted her stepfather gone,
**[19:26] ---**
so she lied to Child Welfare Services
and told them he was abusing her.
**[19:31] ---**
So they're "keeping an eye on things"
**[19:34] ---**
because they think Satoko
could be lying again?!
**[19:39] ---**
That's so stupid!
**[19:50] ---**
Right, then, let's eat lunch!
**[19:55] ---**
Lunch is always more fun
when all five of us are here!
**[19:58] ---**
I totally agree!
**[19:59] ---**
Here you go.
**[20:02] ---**
I feel terribly guilty, having you
make lunch for me every day.
**[20:06] ---**
It's okay! I like making lunch for you, Satoko.
**[20:12] ---**
Rika...
**[20:14] ---**
But I gave you the burned
hamburg steak. Poor, poor Satoko!
**[20:21] ---**
That's Rika-*chan* for you.
**[20:23] ---**
Let's see what you've got, Mion.
**[20:25] ---**
Mine's just a bunch of leftovers
I nabbed from last night!
**[20:29] ---**
I brought leftovers, too.
**[20:31] ---**
Daikon radishes taste really yummy
the day after you cook them!
**[20:35] ---**
This all looks really good!
**[20:38] ---**
So Satoko's not gonna get any!
**[20:40] ---**
I'm gonna eat all of it and
tell you how good it was!
**[20:43] ---**
Excuse me?!
**[20:47] ---**
Allow me to have a taste!
**[20:50] ---**
Curses!
**[20:56] ---**
My, the daikon radish you were after
tastes exquisite, Keiichi-*san*!
**[20:59] ---**
You brat...
**[21:04] ---**
Huh?
**[21:06] ---**
Wh-What's wrong, Satoko?
**[21:09] ---**
Satoko, are you okay?
**[21:19] ---**
A-Are you okay, Satoko?!
**[21:21] ---**
No!
**[21:24] ---**
Hey, Satoko!
**[21:28] ---**
No!
**[21:30] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[21:31] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:34] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:36] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:39] ---**
I hate this, I hate this! Please, stop it!
**[21:43] ---**
Forgive me! Please, forgive me!
**[21:50] ---**
I hate this, I hate this!
**[21:52] ---**
I hate it, I hate it!
**[21:56] ---**
No!
**[22:00] ---**
Save me! Save me, *Nii-Nii*!
**[22:03] ---**
What the hell...?
**[22:04] ---**
--*Nii-Nii*, come save me!
--What the hell is happening to her?!
**[22:19] ---**
*Wind gently flowing through my hair,
time flowing endlessly*
**[22:24] ---**
*A one-way ticket to the future*
**[22:28] ---**

**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said
that day are silent*
**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*

**[00:09] ---**
Satoko, it's me!
**[00:11] ---**
It's Keiichi! You know me, right?!
**[00:14] ---**
No!
**[00:18] ---**
It's okay! I'm your friend, Satoko!
**[00:21] ---**
Save me! Save me!
**[00:23] ---**
--I'm scared... I'm scared!
**[00:25] ---**
--Satoko!
--I'm scared... I'm scared!
**[00:26] ---**
--Sorry, Keiichi, but you need to back off!
--I'm scared... I'm scared!
**[00:30] ---**
It's okay, Satoko-*chan*.
You don't have to be scared anymore.
**[00:34] ---**
--You're okay.
--*Nii-Nii*, please come save me!
**[00:37] ---**
--*Nii-Nii*, please come save me!
**[00:40] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...
**[00:45] ---**
We couldn't do anything to help you.
**[00:49] ---**
Please forgive us...

**[02:26] ---**
Wh-What's going on here?
**[02:28] ---**
What on earth happened here, Hojo-*san*?!
**[02:37] ---**
I just got into a little tussle
with Rena-*san* here, that's all!
**[02:40] ---**
It was a petty little fight
over something in our lunch.
**[02:44] ---**
Right?
**[02:48] ---**
It was merely a practical joke, nothing more!
**[02:50] ---**
You're all making far too much
of a fuss about it!
**[02:54] ---**
Because we're powerless to stop it!
**[03:00] ---**
Satoko?
**[03:06] ---**
Yes?
**[03:10] ---**
Please come home with me.
**[03:15] ---**
Have you already forgotten?
**[03:17] ---**
I'm to be living with my uncle from now on.
**[03:20] ---**
But you don't want to live with him.
**[03:23] ---**
There is nothing I can do about it.
**[03:31] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[03:33] ---**
Where's Satoko?
**[03:40] ---**
What the hell?! Why couldn't
Child Welfare Services help her?!
**[03:45] ---**
Satoko made a false report before...
**[03:48] ---**
So they won't do anything without real proof.
**[03:50] ---**
So what, just let her be abused
until she's bruised and scarred?!
**[03:54] ---**
Of course not! I'm just saying,
they need to be more careful--
**[03:57] ---**
Why the hell are you all
standing around doing nothing?!
**[04:01] ---**
Shion? Why are you here?!
**[04:03] ---**
Are you just going to wait
and let him kill Satoko?
**[04:06] ---**
We have to do something right now!
**[04:08] ---**
I agree with Shi-*chan* and Keiichi-*kun*.
**[04:11] ---**
We can't just wait and see what happens.
**[04:14] ---**
There must be something we can do!
**[04:16] ---**
What, though? Make another report
to Child Welfare Services?
**[04:20] ---**
Why do we have to go through all that bullcrap?
**[04:23] ---**
Let's just ambush the bastard
and beat him to a bloody, dead pulp!
**[04:30] ---**
That's not right!
**[04:32] ---**
Shi-*chan*! That's not the way
we should handle this!
**[04:35] ---**
It's not our best option!
**[04:37] ---**
Well, how else are we supposed to save her?
**[04:40] ---**
He *told* me to take care of her!
**[04:43] ---**
What would I say to Satoshi-*kun*
if something happened to her?!
**[04:45] ---**
Calm down, Shion.
**[04:47] ---**
You're head of the Sonozaki family, right, Mion?
**[04:50] ---**
Use your influence to save Satoko!
**[04:53] ---**
I know why you don't want to.
**[04:55] ---**
Our old hag wants us to stay out
of anything going on with the Hojo family
**[04:58] ---**
because of her stupid grudge
over the dam war!
**[05:02] ---**
If you're just going to stand here
and wait for him to kill her, then fine!
**[05:05] ---**
But I won't. Satoko's like my own
little sister. She's family to me!
**[05:10] ---**
I'm gonna go murder that pig!
**[05:13] ---**
Bye.
**[05:14] ---**
Hold it.
**[05:16] ---**
What? Are you trying to stop me?
**[05:18] ---**
Do you think Satoko will thank you
for killing someone to save her?
**[05:23] ---**
I don't want her to thank me!
**[05:26] ---**
If killing him will let her be happy,
that's enough reason for me!
**[05:30] ---**
It's still not right.
**[05:32] ---**
You're just gonna end up regretting it
and hating yourself for it!
**[05:35] ---**
Only then will you finally realize what
you really wanted out of all this!
**[05:39] ---**
You don't want to kill her uncle!
**[05:41] ---**
You want everyone to go back to
the world where they were happy!
**[05:45] ---**
And if you murder someone,
that world goes away!
**[05:50] ---**
And not only will you regret it,
Satoko will, too!
**[05:53] ---**
She'll blame herself for you going out
and killing someone for her!
**[05:57] ---**
Killing someone for Satoko is one mistake
there's no going back from!
**[06:02] ---**
If you feel that strongly about it,
then why don't *you* suggest something?
**[06:06] ---**
You can't, can you?!
**[06:08] ---**
So shut your damn mouth
and get the hell out of my way!
**[06:12] ---**
I'm not letting you go.
**[06:16] ---**
Fine, then.
**[06:18] ---**
Guess you're on his side.
**[06:20] ---**
I'll just have to crack your head open first!
**[06:22] ---**
Hey! Stop it!
**[06:25] ---**
Shion...
**[06:27] ---**
You're right, I don't have a better idea.
**[06:30] ---**
But I'm sure we can think of a better way
to help Satoko! I know we can!
**[06:36] ---**
I'm not saying it again! Get out of my way!
**[06:39] ---**
Believe in your friends! Believe in *me*!
**[06:41] ---**
I, Keiichi Maebara, *will* save Satoko!
**[06:44] ---**
Shut up, you imbecile!
**[06:45] ---**
Why the hell should I trust you?!
**[06:47] ---**
Shion!
**[06:54] ---**
That was nothing.
**[06:55] ---**
If you want me to move,
you'll have to kill me.
**[06:59] ---**
If I let you go, we'll live in
a world without you, Shion!
**[07:03] ---**
And in that world, Satoko will think about you
every day and be heartbroken!
**[07:10] ---**
You still don't get how serious I am about this?
**[07:13] ---**
I want to live in a world where
we can all live and play together!
**[07:26] ---**
People cannot live without hope.
**[07:29] ---**
But this world hasn't lost hope yet.
**[07:33] ---**
Just because you can't see it
doesn't mean it's gone.
**[07:37] ---**
Trust me, Shion!
**[07:51] ---**
Thanks, Rika-*chan*.
**[07:54] ---**
So what *do* we do?
**[07:57] ---**
Tell me you're not just going to stand here
ho-humming after that speech.
**[08:01] ---**
You should know the truth, Keiichi.
**[08:04] ---**
That this world may appear to be
a dead end, but it's not.
**[08:10] ---**
If we all work together,
we can make a miracle happen.
**[08:13] ---**
And doing just that *will* be enough
to make one happen.
**[08:17] ---**
I know! We'll go straight to
the Child Welfare Services Center!
**[08:21] ---**
What kind of idea is that?!
**[08:22] ---**
We're the ones who know the most
about what's happening to her!
**[08:26] ---**
You're right. There's no way CWS really
understands what she's going through.
**[08:32] ---**
It makes sense. We attack the issue head-on.
**[08:36] ---**
Hmph. I hear once CWS makes up their mind,
they're not likely to change it.
**[08:42] ---**
It probably won't work.
**[08:44] ---**
It might not, but we won't know unless we try!
**[08:49] ---**
Well, Shi-*chan*? Will you fight with us?
**[08:57] ---**
Fine. Let's do this.
**[09:00] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
**[09:06] ---**
"Be a Foster Parent"
"You're not alone!
If something's not right, call us!"
**[09:08] ---**
"Be a Foster Parent"
"You're not alone!
If something's not right, call us!"
They sure are making us wait a while.
**[09:11] ---**
"Be a Foster Parent"
"You're not alone!
If something's not right, call us!"
Mister Maebara?
**[09:13] ---**
Someone will speak with you now.
**[09:16] ---**
So I think you got a call
from the school yesterday.
**[09:20] ---**
We heard that CWS had decided
to monitor the situation,
**[09:23] ---**
so we came here to give more details
in case you didn't know the full picture.
**[09:29] ---**
I'm sorry, more details?
**[09:32] ---**
Satoko may have said nothing was going on,
**[09:35] ---**
but that's because her uncle
is threatening her with violence.
**[09:37] ---**
Are you just going to "monitor" her
until she ends up dead?
**[09:41] ---**
First, let me clear up
some misunderstandings.
**[09:43] ---**
Hojo-*san*'s case is still being worked on.
**[09:47] ---**
So you're not ignoring her,
you're "working on the case"?
**[09:49] ---**
Isn't that the same thing
as not doing anything to help?
**[09:53] ---**
A social worker with our center
contacted the Hojos last night.
**[09:57] ---**
We're going to check in on them
intermittently to ensure that
**[10:00] ---**
Satoko is receiving
the proper level of parental care.
**[10:02] ---**
Parental care?! He's her uncle!
**[10:05] ---**
Do you have any idea what's
actually going on over there?!
**[10:08] ---**
Forgive me, I misspoke.
**[10:11] ---**
We'll ensure she's receiving the proper
level of care from her guardian--
**[10:13] ---**
Satoko was living just fine
on her own without him!
**[10:17] ---**
Her uncle came back to town
and dragged her home with him!
**[10:20] ---**
Isn't that technically kidnapping?!
**[10:22] ---**
According to Article 821
of the Japanese Civil Code,
**[10:25] ---**
children must live with their legal guardians.
**[10:29] ---**
How the hell is a sleazeball
like that her legal guardian?!
**[10:32] ---**
Shion, when Satoko's parents died,
he became her legal guardian.
**[10:38] ---**
I'm not sure what article that is, though.
**[10:40] ---**
Article 818.
**[10:43] ---**
In that case, Satoko's
legal guardian, Teppei Hojo,
**[10:46] ---**
willingly abandoned his child for over a year.
**[10:49] ---**
What does CWS think of that?
**[10:52] ---**
Due to case confidentiality,
I can't answer that for you,
**[10:55] ---**
but I can tell you that we did ask
the family to explain why that happened.
**[10:58] ---**
And because you were okay with his explanation,
you decided to "monitor" them?
**[11:02] ---**
Like I said, we are still working the case.
**[11:04] ---**
She was being abused by her aunt
and uncle last year, too!
**[11:08] ---**
You've got to have that written down
in your notes somewhere, right?!
**[11:12] ---**
I can't discuss that
due to case confidentiality,
**[11:15] ---**
but yes, we are taking everything
into consideration.
**[11:18] ---**
I know what's happening here.
**[11:20] ---**
You're sitting on the case 'cause she made
a false report before, is that it?
**[11:23] ---**
We will make the decision that is
best for the child in question.
**[11:26] ---**
Ugh, come on! Quit the bullshit
and do something to get her out of there!
**[11:31] ---**
If something happens to Satoko,
I swear, you'll regret it!
**[11:34] ---**
Stop it, Shion! You're only hurting our case.
**[11:40] ---**
I don't know what her uncle
sounded like on the phone,
**[11:44] ---**
but please don't let him fool you!
**[11:46] ---**
We just want you to understand that, okay?
**[11:48] ---**
I understand what you're saying,
and I'll inform her case worker.
**[11:53] ---**
Thank you for coming here
to talk to us today.
**[12:03] ---**
I feel like she didn't really listen
to anything we said.
**[12:07] ---**
But she said she was gonna pass
our message along to her case worker!
**[12:12] ---**
I don't think it was all for nothing.
**[12:15] ---**
Can't we just go talk to that person directly?
**[12:18] ---**
No idea.
**[12:20] ---**
Probably not, since I hear
it's a pretty rough job.
**[12:23] ---**
Bet they get lots of people
who want to tell them "they'll regret it."
**[12:28] ---**
It's hard to get across how much we care.
**[12:31] ---**
You're used to talking to
city officials, right, Mion?
**[12:35] ---**
Wouldn't it be better for you
to talk to them instead of me?
**[12:38] ---**
They only listen to her because
she's head of the Sonozaki family.
**[12:42] ---**
You saw how they treated us today
when they didn't know who she was.
**[12:52] ---**
So... what do we do next?
**[12:55] ---**
Keiichi?
**[13:01] ---**
Sorry. I made all that fuss,
but there's nothing I can do.
**[13:07] ---**
--I don't believe you.
--Huh?
**[13:09] ---**
You said to believe that you,
Keiichi Maebara, will be the one to save her.
**[13:13] ---**
So I believed you.
**[13:16] ---**
That's why I won't believe you
when you say there's nothing you can do!
**[13:26] ---**
I still believe in you, Keiichi.
**[13:28] ---**
After all, you said you could tear
fate apart like wet paper!
**[13:36] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[13:37] ---**
So please, put an end to it.
**[13:40] ---**
Save Satoko from this horrible fate!
**[13:48] ---**
I can't believe I let myself give up
just 'cause of today.
**[13:52] ---**
But your words opened my eyes, Rika-*chan*.
**[13:54] ---**
Now I know just how big of a deal it is
when people believe in you!
**[13:59] ---**
Kei-*chan*...
**[14:00] ---**
We gotta stop being so gloom and doom!
**[14:02] ---**
You guys didn't really think
we were out of options, did you?
**[14:06] ---**
Sure, but Keiichi-*kun*--
**[14:08] ---**
If this were a club game...
**[14:11] ---**
...you'd all be losing!
**[14:22] ---**
Kei-*chan*'s right. Our club members
never throw in the towel like this.
**[14:26] ---**
Yeah. Let's keep fighting!
**[14:32] ---**
So what are we *actually* going to do?
**[14:33] ---**
"Thursday, June 16, 1983"
So what are we *actually* going to do?
**[14:38] ---**
Listen up, everyone!
**[14:41] ---**
I want to talk to you guys about Satoko Hojo!
**[14:44] ---**
As you well know,
Satoko didn't come to school today.
**[14:47] ---**
Her bastard uncle called and said
she had a cold, but that can't be true!
**[14:53] ---**
Satoko's never been sick a day in her life!
**[14:55] ---**
She could eat food off the ground
and not even bat an eye!
**[14:57] ---**
Yet she's apparently bedridden
with a cold for days?
**[15:00] ---**
--You know that's gotta be BS!
--He's right.
**[15:03] ---**
--There's no doubt about it:
Satoko's uncle is forcing her to stay home!
--He's right.
**[15:04] ---**
--There's no doubt about it:
Satoko's uncle is forcing her to stay home!
--Satoko-*chan* couldn't be sick...
**[15:06] ---**
--There's no doubt about it:
Satoko's uncle is forcing her to stay home!
--This *is* weird...
**[15:08] ---**
Of course, we've already reported this
to Child Welfare Services.
**[15:12] ---**
However, they've decided
to just "monitor the situation"!
**[15:16] ---**
Every question we asked was sidestepped
for reasons of "confidentiality"!
**[15:20] ---**
What do you all think of this?
**[15:22] ---**
Do you think this is right?
**[15:25] ---**
I don't think it's right!
**[15:27] ---**
We all know just how bad her aunt
and uncle treated her last year!
**[15:30] ---**
We know that better than anyone!
**[15:33] ---**
Satoko's our friend! A part of our class!
**[15:36] ---**
We've spent so much time in this room together,
we're practically family!
**[15:41] ---**
Are we just gonna sit here and watch
while our family suffers?
**[15:44] ---**
No, we're not! We're going to help her!
**[15:49] ---**
Our club has already started the process!
**[15:51] ---**
We're already working hard to rescue Satoko!
**[15:55] ---**
Tomita-*kun*, do you know what we're doing?
**[15:57] ---**
N-No, I don't!
**[16:00] ---**
Well then, let me tell you!
**[16:02] ---**
We're fighting this battle head-on
and following all the rules!
**[16:06] ---**
Right.
**[16:09] ---**
A straightforward, head-on approach
has the most power.
**[16:13] ---**
We don't need to do anything underhanded!
**[16:15] ---**
We fight out in the open
and take them down for all to see!
**[16:17] ---**
T-Take them down?
Are we gonna *actually* fight them?
**[16:21] ---**
This *is* a fight...
**[16:25] ---**
...but not one where we're punching and kicking.
**[16:27] ---**
We're doing it by their rules!
**[16:30] ---**
Our club members already launched
a strike on the CWS center!
**[16:34] ---**
All they did was write down that
"five classmates asked us to protect her."
**[16:40] ---**
Do you know what that means?
**[16:43] ---**
Five people aren't enough!
**[16:45] ---**
We need your help to save our friend!
**[16:48] ---**
Let's show 'em how strong
the Hinamizawa School spirit is!
**[16:54] ---**
Maebara-*kun*, you...
**[16:57] ---**
Chie.
**[16:59] ---**
Furude-*san*! What is going on in there?
**[17:03] ---**
Everyone is trying their best to help Satoko.
**[17:08] ---**
I have no power,
so I can't do anything without help.
**[17:13] ---**
But one thing I *can* do is stop you
if you're going to try and stop them!
**[17:19] ---**
All right. Just try not
to get anyone hurt, okay?
**[17:25] ---**
Promise me that.
**[17:28] ---**
Oh, thank you!
**[17:30] ---**
Okay, everyone! Once school's out,
let's meet up in Okinomiya!
**[17:35] ---**
Hold on.
**[17:39] ---**
You're not really going to try
and stop us, are you?
**[17:42] ---**
No.
**[17:45] ---**
I'm coming with you.
**[17:47] ---**
That's okay, right?
**[17:52] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
**[17:53] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
Right, how can we help you today?
**[17:57] ---**
We're here to demonstrate how urgent
Satoko Hojo's situation is.
**[18:01] ---**
Um, how many are here with you?
**[18:04] ---**
All of Satoko's classmates and her teacher.
**[18:07] ---**
All 16 of us!
**[18:09] ---**
Right, then.
**[18:11] ---**
I'm aware that you've already informed us
that Satoko Hojo-*san*'s situation
**[18:15] ---**
is dire enough to merit protective action
from the CWS center.
**[18:19] ---**
In response, our center told you that
we are not merely monitoring her case,
**[18:23] ---**
but actively working on it.
**[18:26] ---**
That's despite knowing about
the abuse she went through last year?
**[18:31] ---**
About that...
**[18:33] ---**
We have no confirmed record of Teppei Hojo's
past involvement in child abuse.
**[18:39] ---**
What?!
**[18:40] ---**
We do know that there was trouble
between Satoko and her aunt Tamae.
**[18:45] ---**
But no one mentioned her uncle Teppei's
involvement, not even neighbors.
**[18:50] ---**
But couldn't that be because her aunt's
behavior overshadowed her uncle's?
**[18:54] ---**
That could be.
**[18:56] ---**
In that case, I'll add the possibility
of his involvement to her file.
**[19:00] ---**
What about the fact that her uncle
abandoned her for a whole year?
**[19:04] ---**
We've been told that happened when
Teppei needed to work away from home
**[19:07] ---**
to continue bringing in income
to help raise Satoko-*san*.
**[19:12] ---**
Not only that, but when we directly asked
Satoko-*san* about the abuse,
**[19:16] ---**
she denied it outright.
**[19:18] ---**
As such, CWS has determined
that she can continue living with him.
**[19:27] ---**
Might I ask that you watch over your friend
Satoko-*san* and her uncle Teppei
**[19:31] ---**
and give them a chance to start
their life together over again?
**[19:36] ---**
I swear...
**[19:38] ---**
Did you even hear a single word
of what we just said?!
**[19:42] ---**
We did, and we'll remember that
so many of you came to support her.
**[19:47] ---**
Everything will be taken into
consideration as we make a decision.
**[19:51] ---**
If something bad happens to Satoko,
will you take responsibility for it?
**[19:55] ---**
You bastards!
**[19:56] ---**
If he leaves even the tiniest scratch
on her, you're all dead!
**[19:59] ---**
Shion-*san*!
**[20:02] ---**
That's going too far.
**[20:10] ---**
Center Manager Harayama,
when will that decision be made?
**[20:15] ---**
Again, we need to carefully review
the situation to make an informed decision.
**[20:20] ---**
I hope these answers will be enough
to satisfy you for today.
**[20:24] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
**[20:25] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
This is just like when we were
fighting over the dam.
**[20:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:30] ---**
Though it's not like these kids
were helping out with that.
**[20:35] ---**
Our spirit of community is what
makes Hinamizawa great.
**[20:38] ---**
If one attacks us, two strike back.
**[20:41] ---**
If two attack, then four. If four, then eight.
**[20:45] ---**
If a thousand come to attack,
then the whole village rises up against them.
**[20:47] ---**
What proverb is that?
**[20:49] ---**
Oh, that's something our old gran used to say.
**[20:54] ---**
Makes sense. Band together to overwhelm
the enemy and take them out.
**[20:59] ---**
Maebara-*san*!
**[21:01] ---**
Child Welfare Services
isn't going to help Satoko, right?
**[21:06] ---**
Yeah. Sounds like they're
just gonna let her suffer.
**[21:09] ---**
We live near her, so we know
how bad her uncle is!
**[21:13] ---**
There's no way we can leave things here!
**[21:16] ---**
We need to work harder
to help save Hojo-*san*!
**[21:21] ---**
Right!
**[21:24] ---**
Yeah, that's right!
**[21:26] ---**
Let's keep it coming tomorrow!
**[21:29] ---**
Forget 20 of us, let's get 60 people to show up!
**[21:32] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:34] ---**
I'll talk to everyone I think would go!
**[21:36] ---**
I'll call my friends when I get home!
**[21:39] ---**
Let's do everything we can!
**[21:41] ---**
We can do this!
**[21:50] ---**
This...
**[21:52] ---**
...is the power to tear fate apart!

**[00:05] ---**
Who would do something like this?
**[00:07] ---**
From what I heard, Teppei kicked it over,
**[00:10] ---**
then relieved himself
on the torii shrine gate...
**[00:13] ---**
The gall of that man!
**[00:15] ---**
You know what everyone's saying
about this year's curse, right...?
**[00:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:21] ---**
It'll hit the Hojos, no doubt about it.

**[00:38] ---**
Quite the crowd you've got here.
**[00:40] ---**
Tomitake-*san*! Takano-*san*!
**[00:42] ---**
Hi there. I can't believe so many
have come out. Great job.
**[00:49] ---**
Why are you two here?
**[00:51] ---**
Maebara-*kun* here told us
everything last night.
**[00:59] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[01:00] ---**
"Rescue Satoko Hojo!!"
**[01:01] ---**
"CWS, Act Immediately!"
**[01:03] ---**
"Protect Her Now!"
You know, I really hate
how cheesy you are, Coach,
**[01:07] ---**
but I'll admit, this is changing my mind.
**[01:09] ---**
"Save Her ASAP!"
Wearing the same stuff helps
to bolster that sense of solidarity.

**[01:13] ---**
Feels just like the dam war did.
**[01:16] ---**
Here you go, Rika-*chan*.
**[01:18] ---**
Thanks.
**[01:20] ---**
I'll do everything I can to help Satoko-*chan*.
**[01:25] ---**
Coach...
**[01:26] ---**
All right, let's go!
**[01:29] ---**
What can we help you with today?
**[01:31] ---**
The same thing as yesterday!
**[01:32] ---**
We're here to demand immediate action
be taken on Satoko Hojo's case!
**[01:37] ---**
Unfortunately, all of our
meeting rooms are in use today.
**[01:40] ---**
What?
**[01:41] ---**
The center director is
willing to meet with you,
**[01:44] ---**
but only three people will be able
to fit in the small meeting space.
**[01:48] ---**
That's totally unaccepta--
**[01:50] ---**
I think that's fine.
**[01:53] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
**[02:01] ---**
How'd it go, Kei-*chan*?
**[02:02] ---**
Felt like a repeat of yesterday.
**[02:05] ---**
So they're just gonna keep "monitoring" her?
**[02:08] ---**
Yes, and they'll make a decision
in a month's time.
**[02:12] ---**
A month?! Who knows how much permanent
damage Satoko will suffer in a month!
**[02:17] ---**
At the very least, they did seem
to take us seriously...
**[02:21] ---**
We told everyone we'd be back at this tomorrow,
**[02:24] ---**
but we might lose a few people.
**[02:27] ---**
This is so frustrating.
**[02:29] ---**
Even if nobody shows,
I'm not going to back down!
**[02:33] ---**
Neither will I.
**[02:35] ---**
If we don't work together,
we can't make miracles happen.
**[02:40] ---**
That's right.
**[02:41] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:42] ---**
It's getting dark.
**[02:44] ---**
Probably time to tell everyone to go home.
**[02:48] ---**
We've got the festival planning
meeting tonight, too.
**[02:50] ---**
Oh, shoot, I have to go to that, too!
**[02:53] ---**
To the planning meeting?
**[02:54] ---**
Oh! Why don't you come too, Kei-*chan*?

You sure it's okay for me to be here?

good things about you, Kei-*chan*,

so people've been asking me to
bring you to one of these for a while.
**[03:08] ---**
I hope I won't be intruding, I hope!
**[03:12] ---**
You won't.
**[03:13] ---**
Everyone'll probably be thrilled
to see so many passionate young'ins.
**[03:18] ---**
Hello! You're all here early.
**[03:21] ---**
Why, if it ain't Mion-*chan*!
Brought quite a group with you.
**[03:25] ---**
Not like we got anything better to do.
**[03:27] ---**
"DON'T BUILD THE DAM!!"
**[03:29] ---**
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance Creed"
**[03:30] ---**
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance"
**[03:31] ---**
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance"
Well, well, I thought I saw a bunch
of fashionable shoes near the door!
**[03:33] ---**
Well, well, I thought I saw a bunch
of fashionable shoes near the door!
**[03:37] ---**
What's the occasion?
**[03:38] ---**
Why, Kimiyoshi! It's been too long.
**[03:42] ---**
We were just hanging out together,
so I figured I'd invite them along.
**[03:45] ---**
Is that so? How nice.
**[03:48] ---**
Uh, I'm Keiichi Maebara.
**[03:52] ---**
My, thanks for coming.
**[03:54] ---**
Now Shion-*chan*, you should come down
to the Watanagashi festival this year!
**[03:59] ---**
I'd be honored to attend.
**[04:00] ---**
Ah, right, there was something I wanted
to talk to you about, Mion-*chan*.
**[04:05] ---**
--There was?
--Could I borrow you for a moment?
**[04:09] ---**
Of course, what is it?
**[04:13] ---**
My, my...
**[04:18] ---**
Kei-*chan*, can I borrow you for a sec?
**[04:25] ---**
Chie-*sensei*?
**[04:26] ---**
I need to talk to you, Maebara-*kun*.
**[04:29] ---**
Not about anything good, I'm guessing.
**[04:32] ---**
You're going with everyone to
the CWS center tomorrow, yes?
**[04:35] ---**
Yeah. Right, Mion?
**[04:40] ---**
Maebara-*kun*, could you stop
after tomorrow and just see what happens?
**[04:45] ---**
Is this some kind of warning?
**[04:48] ---**
The mayor said something
to you just now, didn't he?
**[04:51] ---**
That's why you're telling me to be careful.
**[04:53] ---**
Maebara-*kun*, I think you're doing
the right thing, I do, but...
**[05:00] ---**
Kei-*chan*, Chie-*sensei* is doing everything
she can to support us.
**[05:04] ---**
It's just, well...
**[05:06] ---**
Someone's putting pressure on her?
**[05:09] ---**
Back when the Board of Education hadn't
officially recognized our school here,
**[05:14] ---**
Chie-*sensei* went against their orders
and came to teach us here anyway.
**[05:19] ---**
You see, if my future was the only thing
at stake, I'd gladly risk it.
**[05:23] ---**
But I can't threaten the future of our school.
**[05:29] ---**
Mion, Chie-*sensei*,
you're the strongest people I know.
**[05:34] ---**
One's a good friend I look up to
and one's a teacher I respect.
**[05:37] ---**
I can't imagine what kind
of pressure you must be under
**[05:43] ---**
if it's making you fold beneath it.
**[05:45] ---**
Maebara-*kun*...
**[05:47] ---**
Tell me, why do the older members
of the village hate the Hojos?
**[05:52] ---**
The dam war is over. Satoko hasn't
done anything to deserve this!
**[05:57] ---**
So why do they hate her
and her family this much?!
**[05:59] ---**
Who hates them? Whose fault is it?!
**[06:02] ---**
Because I need to talk to those people!
**[06:06] ---**
I don't think anyone in the village
actually hates the Hojo family.
**[06:11] ---**
Wait, really?
**[06:14] ---**
During the dam war, the Hojo family
was the village's arch-nemesis.
**[06:17] ---**
At least, that's how everyone viewed them.
**[06:21] ---**
But once her dam-supporting
parents passed away,
**[06:23] ---**
everyone knew that Satoko
was totally innocent.
**[06:27] ---**
Still, no one's ever come forward
to publicly forgive the Hojos.
**[06:32] ---**
Everyone's afraid to associate with the Hojos,
**[06:36] ---**
because defending them paints
a big target on your back.
**[06:41] ---**
That can't be true!
**[06:43] ---**
We're all friends with Satoko-*chan* at school!
**[06:46] ---**
This is just amongst
the older people in the village
**[06:50] ---**
who just happen to make up
the core of the Hinamizawa.
**[06:53] ---**
They think that's what the old Sonozaki
hag believes, so they go along with it.
**[06:58] ---**
But that's not how it is at all.
**[07:00] ---**
Even my old gran's afraid
to openly support the Hojos
**[07:03] ---**
'cause she thinks people will lose trust in her.
**[07:06] ---**
So what's all this boil down to?
**[07:09] ---**
Who do I gotta punch in the face? Just tell me!
**[07:12] ---**
Nobody actually hates Satoko!
**[07:15] ---**
Everyone thinks we should
forgive her family,
**[07:19] ---**
they just can't say it out loud!
**[07:26] ---**
That's so sad...
**[07:29] ---**
And so, so stupid.
**[07:33] ---**
Everyone's forgiven Satoko, but they
don't think it's okay to get involved.
**[07:38] ---**
Yeah. And that line of thinking
has spread like mold on tatami floors.
**[07:44] ---**
The only way to get rid of rotten tatami
is to rip it up and replace it.
**[07:48] ---**
So the village elders feel
pressured to stay out of it...
**[07:52] ---**
because they think some mystery person
or people will turn on them?
**[07:57] ---**
I say that mystery person
is Oyashiro-*sama*'s Curse.
**[08:04] ---**
Sounds like we'll have to rip up
all the rotten tatami then, huh?
**[08:10] ---**
And all that rotten tatami just happens
to be very close by right now.
**[08:16] ---**
--Maebara-*kun*!
--Not you too, Rena!
**[08:18] ---**
I'm in. Let's get rid of these
crusty old bastards, huh?
**[08:22] ---**
Yeah! I might look weak,
but I won't show them mercy!
**[08:27] ---**
Wouldn't wanna get on your bad side,
or you mine, huh?
**[08:30] ---**
Okay, let's do this!
**[08:31] ---**
Got it. I'm in, too.
**[08:34] ---**
I'll also help.
**[08:36] ---**
That's what I'm talking about!
**[08:39] ---**
I understand where
you're coming from, Chie-*sensei*.
**[08:42] ---**
But please let us try this today.
**[08:46] ---**
Very well.
**[08:50] ---**
I entrust you with this message!
**[08:52] ---**
Keiichi can break this terrible fate.
**[08:56] ---**
I know this myself!
**[09:02] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[09:09] ---**
Excuse me, can I say something?
**[09:11] ---**
Oh, Keiichi-*kun*, could you save
personal matters for the end?
**[09:15] ---**
I don't want to beat around the bush,
so I'll get straight to the point.
**[09:20] ---**
I want to talk to you about
Satoko Hojo's current horrific situation.
**[09:24] ---**
Yeah, we know all about it.
**[09:27] ---**
I'm just saying you've already made
our case to CWS! You've done enough!
**[09:32] ---**
Do you have a problem with us
continuing to protest?
**[09:34] ---**
Of course we've got a problem with it!
**[09:36] ---**
Okay, then explain why
so someone my age can understand.
**[09:40] ---**
Look, the dam war ended ages ago!
**[09:44] ---**
It's done and over, as are the days
of bandin' together and protesting!
**[09:48] ---**
I'm not talking about "those days"
or the dam war or anything!
**[09:52] ---**
I'm talking about the war
I'm fighting right now!
**[09:56] ---**
You should watch your tongue!
**[09:58] ---**
Young people these days!
**[10:02] ---**
All right. Let's see what you've got.
**[10:05] ---**
Umm, excuse me, can I ask you something?
**[10:10] ---**
I don't understand why the dam war
being over means we can't protest CWS.
**[10:16] ---**
The dam war's over, so we've got
no need to fight against the government!
**[10:20] ---**
Now's the time to work together with 'em!
**[10:23] ---**
Okay. I think it's important for us
to get along with them, too.
**[10:28] ---**
Yeah. That's why Hinamizawa tries
to work with them nowadays.
**[10:32] ---**
The village council and the local
government are such great pals.
**[10:35] ---**
They put aside a huge chunk of money
for Watanagashi and a few other perks.
**[10:40] ---**
Isn't that right, my dear Kimiyoshi?
**[10:42] ---**
Sh-Shion-*chan*...
**[10:44] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[10:47] ---**
They're in the government's pocket,
so they don't want to make them mad.
**[10:52] ---**
You know nothing!
**[10:53] ---**
Damn youngin's think they can--
**[10:55] ---**
Quiet! Quiet, everyone!
**[10:58] ---**
Huh, so the Hinamizawa village council
is the government's little lapdog, huh?
**[11:02] ---**
You'd better watch your tongue, young man!
**[11:04] ---**
No, *you'd* better watch
*your* tongue, old man!
**[11:07] ---**
Are you seriously refusing to help
Satoko just because she's a Hojo?!
**[11:12] ---**
This has nothing to do with Satoko-*chan*!
**[11:16] ---**
We're advising you, as your elders,
to stop pushing your protest too far!
**[11:22] ---**
Oh, wow, Keiichi-*kun*, look at this cool
thing framed on the wall!
**[11:26] ---**
"We attempted to negotiate peacefully,
but the government refused.
**[11:31] ---**
They showed the utmost
disrespect to our people
**[11:34] ---**
and violently crushed our spirit
of democracy beneath their heel."
**[11:38] ---**
The heck is that? Sounds more like
what the village council is doing to us.
**[11:43] ---**
So true. Those are words
better fit for our own cause.
**[11:48] ---**
You've got a point there.
**[11:50] ---**
Kimiyoshi wrote that to commemorate
the war we fought over the dam.
**[11:57] ---**
Since I moved here,
**[11:59] ---**
all my friends have told me stories
about your bravery during the dam war.
**[12:03] ---**
That spirit of togetherness
is a Hinamizawa tradition!
**[12:06] ---**
I have the utmost respect for
the villagers who fostered that spirit!
**[12:12] ---**
But above all, I revere the courage
of the Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance!
**[12:17] ---**
They thwarted the government's
dirty tricks at every turn!
**[12:19] ---**
They're the reason our beautiful valley
and spirit of unity still exist today!
**[12:24] ---**
I want to be proud of the fact
that I live here in Hinamizawa!
**[12:28] ---**
He's right...
**[12:29] ---**
Could have some truth to it...
**[12:32] ---**
If one attacks us, two strike back.
**[12:35] ---**
If two attack, then four. If four,
then eight. If eight, then sixteen!
**[12:40] ---**
If a thousand come to attack,
then the whole village rises up against them!
**[12:44] ---**
If one of us is in trouble,
everyone bands together to help!
**[12:47] ---**
That is the mantra that unifies
the Onigafuchi Guardians!
**[12:51] ---**
Satoko Hojo is one of us!
**[12:53] ---**
That is why I want to resurrect
the spirit of the Onigafuchi Alliance
**[12:57] ---**
and come together as one again!
**[13:08] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s right. Hinamizawa's
never been one to cowtow to the state!
**[13:13] ---**
But they've given us so much support...
**[13:18] ---**
Mr. Mayor, we might not be able
to support Maebara-*kun* here,
**[13:21] ---**
but I don't think we have the right
to put a stop to what he's doing.
**[13:31] ---**
I'm with Maebara-*kun*!
**[13:33] ---**
Same here! He's a rude little punk,
but his heart's in the right place!
**[13:38] ---**
Don't you worry about a thing, Keiichi-*kun*!
Don't let 'em bully you!
**[13:42] ---**
All right, I'm with him, too!
**[13:44] ---**
Unfortunately,
**[13:46] ---**
even if we do go to CWS again tomorrow,
they may not hear us out again.
**[13:51] ---**
Likely because they think
the village council is on their side.
**[13:55] ---**
We need you to publicly express
your support for Keiichi's cause.
**[14:00] ---**
Why the hell not, Mr. Mayor?!
Let's tell 'em loud and clear!
**[14:03] ---**
Yes, well...
**[14:05] ---**
Personally, I have no problem
with what you're doing, Keiichi,
**[14:09] ---**
but as part of the village council...
**[14:12] ---**
Let's just be honest here.
**[14:14] ---**
You're afraid there are people here
who are against helping out the Hojos,
**[14:18] ---**
isn't that right?
**[14:19] ---**
Everyone thinks people will turn
against you if you associate with them!
**[14:24] ---**
Which, by the way, nobody
in this village would do!
**[14:29] ---**
No, someone would.
**[14:32] ---**
Who is it? Tell us!
**[14:38] ---**
Kimiyoshi.
**[14:41] ---**
Do you want that someone
to give you permission?
**[14:45] ---**
Boy, you're right on the money
with that one, little miss Rika.
**[14:50] ---**
Wait, does he mean our old gran?
**[14:52] ---**
The Kimiyoshis believe the Hojos'
past actions are water under the bridge.
**[14:57] ---**
The Furudes are in agreement, yes?
**[15:00] ---**
Mr. Mayor, promise me this.
**[15:03] ---**
If we can get the Sonozakis and
Mion's grandma to agree with our plan,
**[15:07] ---**
will the village council give us
their full public support?
**[15:09] ---**
Well, of course! If Oryo-*san* gives
the go-ahead, then I'll man up and do it!
**[15:15] ---**
You'll have my full support!
**[15:18] ---**
--The rest of you all right with that?
--You're not half bad, Maebara-*san*.
**[15:20] ---**
--Yeah!
--You're not half bad, Maebara-*san*.
**[15:25] ---**
It sounds like CWS is doing
their job correctly. That's not an issue.
**[15:30] ---**
So why does the village council
have a problem with them?
**[15:33] ---**
CWS will take months to help Satoko.
We can't wait that long!
**[15:39] ---**
She ain't gonna die between now and then.
**[15:42] ---**
The hell are you makin'
a big racket about it for?
**[15:46] ---**
S-Sure, she might not die, but--
**[15:48] ---**
Then shut the hell up, you imbeciles!
**[15:50] ---**
Can't believe you're willin' to
risk your lives over something like this!
**[15:55] ---**
Grow a pair of balls, the lot of you!
**[15:59] ---**
Oryo, Satoko is my friend.
**[16:03] ---**
I just want you to help her.
**[16:05] ---**
Little Rika, I'm always telling you,
you gotta choose your friends right.
**[16:10] ---**
That means choosin' not to pal around
with that cursed Hojo brat!
**[16:14] ---**
I can't believe you're here, too, Dr. Irie.
Thought you were a grown-ass man!
**[16:19] ---**
Satoko-*chan* is a Hojo in name, that's all.
**[16:24] ---**
She never petitioned for the dam to be built--
**[16:26] ---**
Shut your damn mouth!
**[16:27] ---**
Who the hell do you think
you're talking to, you little shit?!
**[16:34] ---**
You look like you have
something to say, Keiichi-*san*.
**[16:36] ---**
Go on, spit it out.
**[16:39] ---**
Are you sure?
**[16:43] ---**
My name is Keiichi Maebara.
**[16:45] ---**
Skip the pleasantries;
I know who you are.
**[16:49] ---**
Satoko Hojo isn't the problem here.
**[16:52] ---**
Our problem is that one of our
fellow villagers is in trouble.
**[16:55] ---**
Did you hear a word I said?
**[16:57] ---**
Nobody's ignoring her suffering,
and CWS is already on her case.
**[17:02] ---**
Yet you still want us to rush to her aid?
Isn't that just being selfish?
**[17:07] ---**
The one time she came to school,
she looked absolutely miserable!
**[17:11] ---**
Who knows how she'll look after
a whole month of that?!
**[17:14] ---**
Are you saying you don't care how much
trauma she needs to suffer through?!
**[17:18] ---**
Fine then, what do you want us to do?
**[17:21] ---**
Help her, right away!
**[17:23] ---**
Then okay, you can keep on helping her.
**[17:26] ---**
The Sonozakis don't need to get involved.
**[17:29] ---**
That's where you're wrong!
**[17:31] ---**
We won't make any progress if we
don't get the village council to back us.
**[17:37] ---**
And the village council wants to back us.
They just need your approval.
**[17:44] ---**
Who the hell decided that
without askin' me?!
**[17:47] ---**
All you need to do is nod your head, ma'am.
**[17:52] ---**
You don't need to say a word, just nod.
**[17:56] ---**
And what if she doesn't?
**[17:57] ---**
Then I'll bash open her head
right here and now,
**[18:00] ---**
and let Mion become the new head of family!
**[18:03] ---**
What the fuck did you just
say to me, you little brat?!
**[18:06] ---**
One of you, stab 'im to death
and throw 'im in the old well!
**[18:10] ---**
You wanna go head-to-head, old lady?!
**[18:13] ---**
Hope you enjoyed dinner,
'cause that was your last meal!
**[18:16] ---**
Shut your goddamn mouth, brat!
Do you know who the hell you're talking to?!
**[18:22] ---**
I'll keep it simple. Satoko's my friend,
and I fight for my friends!
**[18:27] ---**
Wouldn't you do the same?
**[18:29] ---**
You sure know your shit for an outsider.
**[18:32] ---**
I'm no outsider, you old hag!
**[18:35] ---**
I'm Keiichi Maebara of Hinamizawa Village!
**[18:37] ---**
And if one of my Hinamizawa friends
is in trouble, I'll fight for them!
**[18:40] ---**
Oryo-*san*, Maebara-*san* may have
only just moved here,
**[18:46] ---**
but he's a promising young man
who'll bring good change to our village.
**[18:50] ---**
When'd you start thinking rude little shits
like him are "promising," huh?
**[18:56] ---**
If you think I'm being disrespectful,
then let me try being respectful.
**[18:59] ---**
We would like the Sonozaki Family
to support us in rescuing Satoko.
**[19:03] ---**
Please, ma'am, I beg of you!
**[19:07] ---**
Sit up, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[19:10] ---**
What do you think, Mother?
**[19:12] ---**
I don't give a damn!
**[19:14] ---**
All Hojos are the same:
conniving, evil bastards!
**[19:19] ---**
Not to mention this little brat
just threatened to kill me just now!
**[19:24] ---**
I've always respected you for
your willingness to fight for your friends!
**[19:29] ---**
That's why I want to fight for mine, too,
just like you, Grandma!
**[19:33] ---**
Satoko is family to me.
Please, Grandmother. Help us.
**[19:43] ---**
I've already bowed once.
I won't bow to you again.
**[19:46] ---**
But I will ask once more: Please, help us!
**[19:51] ---**
So if I do nod for you, what then?
**[19:54] ---**
Then the village council will support us
and CWS will have to hear us out.
**[19:58] ---**
Oryo-*san*, I'll be honest.
I pity poor Satoko-*chan*.
**[20:03] ---**
I think it's high time we tell everyone
to bring her back into the fold.
**[20:08] ---**
That ain't happening!
**[20:10] ---**
That demon Hojo child ain't off the hook!
**[20:14] ---**
That settles it, then! You're her enemy,
which makes you my enemy!
**[20:19] ---**
I'll strangle you to death right here and now!
**[20:22] ---**
You really wanna piss me off, don'tcha?!
**[20:24] ---**
How dare you speak to me like that?!
I ain't takin' this no more!
**[20:28] ---**
Oryo, you're going to burst a blood vessel.
**[20:32] ---**
I'm sorry, but I must ask you
to leave things here for the night.
**[20:35] ---**
But we haven't even heard
an answer from her yet!
**[20:38] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*, you need to learn
the rules and know when to stop.
**[20:44] ---**
Kei-*chan*, that's enough for today.
**[20:48] ---**
Dammit, we were so close!
**[20:51] ---**
You said everything that needed
to be said, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[20:53] ---**
All that's left is to trust Oryo
will make the right decision.
**[20:56] ---**
Man, I really hate waiting.
**[21:00] ---**
Oh, Uncle! How'd it go? Is Grandma still mad?
**[21:06] ---**
She gave the okay.
**[21:09] ---**
The old demon said she'd allow
the village council to support you.
**[21:14] ---**
That means you've got the backing
of the Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance.
**[21:19] ---**
You can't lose this fight of yours now.
**[21:21] ---**
Are you prepared to give it your all?
**[21:23] ---**
Absolutely!
**[21:25] ---**
You don't hesitate.
I like a man who's got guts!
**[21:29] ---**
Uh, thank you very much!
**[21:32] ---**
No need to thank me.
**[21:33] ---**
The old demon thought
the only way to fix the Hojo problem
**[21:37] ---**
was to take her so-called grudge
with her to the grave.
**[21:41] ---**
Deep down, she's grateful to see it
resolved while she's still alive.
**[21:46] ---**
O-Oh, I'm the one who should be grateful!
**[21:49] ---**
I've also taken quite a liking to you
after that display today, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[21:54] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s lucky to have your affections.
**[21:57] ---**
Look, Kei-*chan* and Satoko
aren't like that, okay?!
**[21:59] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[22:01] ---**
Well, you two better work harder, then!
**[22:04] ---**
--Huh?! Hey!
--Huh?! Hey!
**[22:10] ---**
Keiichi?
**[22:12] ---**
We can save Satoko from her fate with this.
**[22:16] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[22:18] ---**
But Rika-*chan*, please stop using the word f--
**[22:21] ---**
I know.
**[22:23] ---**
I'm not going to toss that word
around lightly anymore.
**[22:27] ---**
You taught me that destroying fate
was as easy as tearing through wet paper.
**[22:32] ---**
Wait, when?
**[22:33] ---**
It's a secret!
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:05] ---**
Rejected?!
**[00:06] ---**
That's right. Just heard from someone
working for the local government.
**[00:10] ---**
That's ridiculous. Are they trying
to pick a fight with Hinamizawa?
**[00:15] ---**
Poor, poor them!
**[00:17] ---**
Just means we're gonna have to keep fighting!
We're not backing down now!
**[00:22] ---**
We're going down to
the CWS Center again after this.
**[00:25] ---**
I'll see if I can rally some council members
**[00:28] ---**
and head over to Oryo-*san*'s place
to see how we should handle this.
**[00:31] ---**
Her response will determine
how many people will come to support us.
**[00:35] ---**
Yeah, and we can tell how serious
she's taking this by how many people show up.
**[00:40] ---**
If the old hag's as gung-ho
as my mother made her sound,
**[00:43] ---**
we should get at least 30 more people.
**[00:45] ---**
It'll feel so much better having
more adults there in support!
**[00:48] ---**
We're comin' for you, CWS!
**[00:54] ---**
Wow. Is everyone here from Hinamizawa?
**[00:58] ---**
Definitely not all of them!
**[01:00] ---**
I see some people from Okinomiya here, too!
**[01:03] ---**
"Save Satoko Hojo!!"
It looks like Oryo
truly pulled out all the stops.
**[01:06] ---**
This feels just like the dam war did!
I loved that, way back when.
**[01:10] ---**
Look at the size of this crowd!
**[01:13] ---**
So this is what it looks like when
the people of Onigafuchi come together!
**[01:17] ---**
You're incredible.
**[01:20] ---**
If you can pull in a crowd like this,
you must be a big deal in Hinamizawa!
**[01:25] ---**
Oh, I didn't do anything special...
**[01:28] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[01:30] ---**
Wow, you got a good crowd here.
**[01:32] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[01:34] ---**
How many people did you call in for this?
**[01:36] ---**
No idea.
**[01:38] ---**
The council told everyone they knew
to gather here, and this is what we got.
**[01:43] ---**
Okay, everyone! This here's a movement
in the name of the village council,
**[01:48] ---**
so don't go using any signs that say
it's the Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance!
**[01:51] ---**
Keiichi.
**[01:53] ---**
This is it.
**[01:55] ---**
Sure is. And we got plenty of troops!
**[01:58] ---**
CWS is in for the scare of their lives.
**[02:04] ---**
Sir, there's a huge crowd out there...
**[02:07] ---**
What should we do?
**[02:09] ---**
I've got business outside the city,
so you'll need to handle it for me.
**[02:13] ---**
B-But, sir, if they see you
leaving the center...
**[02:17] ---**
What? Should I be worried?
**[02:20] ---**
During the dam war, it wasn't uncommon
for these protests to turn violent...
**[02:25] ---**
My business isn't urgent,
so I suppose I'll stay here today.
**[02:30] ---**
Test, test!
**[02:31] ---**
This is the Hinamizawa Village Council!
**[02:35] ---**
--They could barge in here any minute, sir...
--We apologize for the racket
we're making here in your neighborhood!
**[02:38] ---**
--Under no circumstances do we let them in here!
--We apologize for the racket
we're making here in your neighborhood!
**[02:41] ---**
People are still coming. I can't believe it...
**[02:45] ---**
Okay, let's do this!
**[02:49] ---**
Is that...?
**[02:50] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Hello there!
**[02:56] ---**
What do you want, Ooishi-*san*?
**[02:59] ---**
Got an urgent matter to discuss with you.
**[03:03] ---**
And the mayor, too.
Could you come with me a moment?
**[03:09] ---**
Huh?! What the hell?!
**[03:11] ---**
I'll cut right to the chase.
**[03:13] ---**
The center is a government office,
and disrupting its activities is illegal.
**[03:19] ---**
So the city's refusing to hear out
the voices of the people?!
**[03:22] ---**
We're here to demand
they help Satoko ASAP, that's it!
**[03:27] ---**
Well, first off, this crowd is
an unlawful assembly.
**[03:30] ---**
But city law allows the highest-ranking
official of any municipal office
**[03:35] ---**
to ban anyone from the premises if they
are deemed to be disrupting operations.
**[03:40] ---**
That's scummy! Fine, then,
we'll protest just outside their property!
**[03:43] ---**
To do that, you need to ask
the prefecture for a street protest permit.
**[03:48] ---**
See, legally, you'll need to disband
your protest for today.
**[03:52] ---**
Yeah, right!
**[03:53] ---**
Not after we got all these people
to come help save Satoko!
**[03:57] ---**
Maebara-*san*, it seems *some people*
really have it out for you now...
**[04:03] ---**
Don't say I didn't warn you
about making enemies around here.
**[04:08] ---**
Ooishi-*san*, you're free to form
your own opinions about me.
**[04:13] ---**
But if you've got a heart, then please,
let us off the hook this once!
**[04:17] ---**
Whoa there.
**[04:18] ---**
Lay a finger on me and you'll be
arrested for police obstruction.
**[04:23] ---**
--Dammit!
--Kei-*chan*, he's just trying to provoke you!
**[04:26] ---**
Detective Ooishi, if you keep acting
like this, you won't live very long.
**[04:30] ---**
My, how scary.
**[04:33] ---**
You'd better choose your words very carefully,
**[04:35] ---**
or you may be charged
with threatening a police officer.
**[04:40] ---**
They're acting within the law.
There's nothing we can do about that.
**[04:44] ---**
Either we pipe down and do as they say,
or go up against the police.
**[04:50] ---**
The war over the dam is long over!
**[04:52] ---**
Let's not play pretend here now, mmkay?
**[04:56] ---**
Ooishi-*san*!
**[04:57] ---**
The chief's trying to radio you.
**[05:00] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[05:02] ---**
I need to step away for a moment.
**[05:05] ---**
I'd appreciate it if you all got
to dispersing this crowd.
**[05:09] ---**
That bastard! What do we do now?!
**[05:12] ---**
Head out and come back later?!
**[05:13] ---**
That won't change anything.
**[05:15] ---**
Doesn't seem like the head of
the center is planning on talking to us.
**[05:18] ---**
Guess this is what happens
when we piss them off too bad...
**[05:22] ---**
So we're gonna have to play
the long game, then?
**[05:25] ---**
Just wait until CWS is cool
with us bothering them again?
**[05:28] ---**
We can't wait. Satoko-*chan*
doesn't have that much time!
**[05:33] ---**
Don't ask me how I know, I just do!
**[05:37] ---**
I get where you're coming from, but...
**[05:40] ---**
I want you to believe this.
**[05:43] ---**
We're doing everything we can.
You believe that, right?
**[05:48] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[05:49] ---**
Those were your words to me, Mion.
**[05:52] ---**
--Huh?
--Yeah.
**[05:55] ---**
I believe we're doing everything we can.
**[05:58] ---**
Now we just wait...
**[06:00] ---**
...for the right wind to blow!
**[06:03] ---**
I can't believe you lied to
the chief like that, Ooishi-*san*.
**[06:06] ---**
You definitely haven't made
any progress talking to their leaders.
**[06:11] ---**
My, who said I was lying?
**[06:14] ---**
There's a chance this protest could get violent.
**[06:17] ---**
Shouldn't we call in backup
and disperse it by force?
**[06:20] ---**
Oh, Kuma-*chan*, don't be a big meanie.
**[06:23] ---**
--What?
--Look how many people they got
together to help their friend.
**[06:28] ---**
It's quite the feat.
**[06:30] ---**
And if the village council is in on this,
**[06:32] ---**
that means Oryo Sonozaki
is allowing this to happen.
**[06:35] ---**
That's no small accomplishment.
**[06:37] ---**
Ooishi-*san*... I knew you were
going easy on them.
**[06:41] ---**
You're so quick to use force,
**[06:43] ---**
the second you tried to talk it out,
I knew something was up.
**[06:47] ---**
We'll let Maebara-*san* take all the credit today.
**[06:54] ---**
Want a smoke?
**[06:58] ---**
Maebara-*san* doesn't doubt for a second
that he's doing the right thing.
**[07:04] ---**
What'd you say?
**[07:08] ---**
Now's the time to let *him* be the star
and for *us* to play a little pretend.
**[07:11] ---**
Huh?
**[07:13] ---**
Oh, my.
**[07:16] ---**
Here they are.
**[07:18] ---**
Let's go, Kuma-*chan*.
**[07:21] ---**
Where's Keiichi Maebara?
**[07:24] ---**
Where's he at?!
**[07:26] ---**
I'm Keiichi.
**[07:29] ---**
Can I help you?
**[07:30] ---**
You got the wrong idea.
**[07:32] ---**
We're on your side.
**[07:35] ---**
U-Uncle! What're you doing here?!
**[07:38] ---**
No... I don't believe it!
**[07:42] ---**
Right now, Keiichi-*kun*,
you're our leader here. Don't lose hope.
**[07:46] ---**
--Let's go!
--But the police said...
**[07:49] ---**
"Gifu Prefecture Police"
**[07:51] ---**
All right, hold on there.
**[07:53] ---**
The hell are you?
**[07:55] ---**
You pigs got no right keepin'
law-abiding citizens from protesting!
**[07:59] ---**
Hello, Prefectural Assemblyman Sonozaki.
**[08:01] ---**
--We're only here because
the CWS Center called us to--
--Assemblyman?
**[08:04] ---**
Cut the crap! Who gave you
the order to disperse us, huh?!
**[08:11] ---**
Why, the order came straight
from the chief of police.
**[08:13] ---**
The Okinomiya Police, huh?!
I'll be filin' a formal complaint with 'em!
**[08:17] ---**
He better be ready to deal with that!
**[08:19] ---**
Yes, yes, I'll let him know.
Unfortunately, city law allows...
**[08:25] ---**
"Ken Sonozaki, Attorney at Law"
Detective, I'm Ken Sonozaki, and I'm a lawyer.
**[08:29] ---**
I looked into the laws that apply
to the Child Welfare Services Center.
**[08:33] ---**
Their claims of obstruction are not
only unjustified, but an abuse of power.
**[08:36] ---**
I can go into further--
**[08:38] ---**
Yes, yes, all right,
you can go on through, then.
**[08:42] ---**
Shoulda just let us go through from the start!
**[08:45] ---**
Let's go, Maebara-*kun*.
**[08:47] ---**
No one else stands in our way.
**[08:49] ---**
R-Right!
**[08:51] ---**
C'mon, guys, let's do this!
**[08:52] ---**
Yeah!
**[08:53] ---**
This is Oryo's doing, too.
**[08:57] ---**
Never thought our old gran would
go so far as to call them in, too.
**[09:01] ---**
The Sonozaki Family's
giving this cause their full support.
**[09:04] ---**
That's quite the change of heart
for the old demon.
**[09:06] ---**
I'm not surprised, though.
**[09:08] ---**
"Save Satoko Hojo!!"
I knew your grandma would
help us out, Mii-*chan*!
**[09:13] ---**
Is that right...
**[09:14] ---**
I had some choice words for her before,
**[09:17] ---**
but damn, I could kiss the old hag right now!
**[09:21] ---**
Okay, everyone! We're going in!
**[09:22] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
Okay, everyone! We're going in!
**[09:27] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Class Rep!
**[09:30] ---**
Please save Hojo-*san*!
**[09:33] ---**
Maebara-*san*, I hope you
come back with good news!
**[09:36] ---**
I'm looking forward to it, too!
**[09:39] ---**
Good luck.
**[09:41] ---**
We're almost there, Satoko!
**[09:44] ---**
Why'd they let them in?!
What the hell are the cops doing?!
**[09:48] ---**
W-Well...
**[09:50] ---**
Assemblyman Sonozaki is here...
**[09:52] ---**
I-I know! It's almost closing time!
**[09:56] ---**
I'll just hide here until then!
**[09:59] ---**
Sir, I think it's in our best interest
to agree to their demands...
**[10:02] ---**
I refuse to do that!
**[10:03] ---**
I won't embarrass myself by folding
under the threat of mob violence!
**[10:08] ---**
Tell them I'm not here!
**[10:11] ---**
Hello, this is Harayama.
**[10:14] ---**
What?!
**[10:17] ---**
Just a moment, please.
**[10:19] ---**
Sir, there's a call from city hall.
**[10:22] ---**
City hall? Who is it?
**[10:24] ---**
The mayor himself.
**[10:27] ---**
Yes, please listen to their demands.
**[10:31] ---**
Certain matters like these need to be
handled differently, with special care.
**[10:36] ---**
Right, thank you very much.
**[10:38] ---**
Oh, one more thing:
**[10:39] ---**
please be sure to come by my office
to give a report on the day's events.
**[10:44] ---**
Yes, by six o'clock. Goodbye, now.
**[10:50] ---**
Thank ya kindly for the help.
**[10:53] ---**
Oh, it's my pleasure.
**[10:55] ---**
It must be quite important if you made
the effort to see me in person, ma'am.
**[11:00] ---**
Would be rude to ask favors
without comin' to ask in person.
**[11:06] ---**
Thank ya, really.
**[11:08] ---**
Please, don't thank me.
**[11:09] ---**
I must apologize for how rudely
my colleagues have treated you all.
**[11:12] ---**
As their superior, I'm to blame.
**[11:15] ---**
Still, what passionate
young people you have there.
**[11:17] ---**
They're putting in so much effort
to save their friend.
**[11:22] ---**
Right? Ain't it a thing of wonder?!
**[11:24] ---**
With kids like that, I know Hinamizawa
will be in the right hands when I die.
**[11:30] ---**
Please, Mother, don't joke about that.
**[11:35] ---**
Kids like him make life worth livin'!
**[11:37] ---**
Akane, you take care of that Keiichi, you hear?
**[11:41] ---**
My, you've taken quite the liking to him.
**[11:44] ---**
Are you still upset that I never
gave you any boys to dote on?
**[11:49] ---**
I'm so sorry for the trouble!
**[11:51] ---**
So you're gonna do something
to help her right away, yeah?
**[11:54] ---**
Of course!
**[11:55] ---**
Assistant Manager!
Head straight to the Hojo residence!
**[11:58] ---**
Wait, me?
**[12:00] ---**
Shouldn't we speak with their social worker--
**[12:02] ---**
Please, she doesn't have much time!
**[12:05] ---**
O-Okay! I'll head out right away!
**[12:08] ---**
"Child Welfare Services Center"
**[12:14] ---**
Hold on a second, there.
**[12:16] ---**
You're not gonna try to stop us again, are you?
**[12:18] ---**
Not at all.
**[12:20] ---**
Harayama-*san*!
**[12:21] ---**
If you're heading towards the Hojos,
then let me take you there.
**[12:25] ---**
--Huh?
--Are you sure?
**[12:27] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s uncle will have to
let them in if they show up with the cops.
**[12:32] ---**
You're right.
**[12:33] ---**
But why the change of heart, Detective Ooishi?
**[12:39] ---**
I want CWS to understand
how horrific the Hojo situation is.
**[12:44] ---**
Seeing it first-hand's the best way to do that.
**[12:47] ---**
All right. Thanks for the help.
**[12:49] ---**
Okay, Harayama-*san*, this way, please.
**[12:53] ---**
Oh, right! Could you all disperse now?
**[12:59] ---**
Right then, have a good year!
**[13:05] ---**
We won... right?
**[13:09] ---**
Keiichi, you rolled a 6 on a dice
with a 1 on every side.
**[13:14] ---**
What's this about dice?
**[13:15] ---**
It's an incredible accomplishment...
**[13:18] ---**
Something that normally wouldn't be possible.
**[13:22] ---**
I'm not smart enough to keep up with
what you're saying, Rika-*chan*...
**[13:26] ---**
Basically, it means you've won, Keiichi.
**[13:34] ---**
--Hello?!
--Keiichi-*san*?
**[13:36] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[13:38] ---**
Someone from CWS and Ooishi-*san*
should've stopped by today...
**[13:40] ---**
Calm down, please. Yes, they came by.
**[13:44] ---**
So what happened?!
**[13:46] ---**
I always thought that enduring pain
was a form of strength.
**[13:51] ---**
That the lesson my *Nii-Nii* wanted me
to learn was to stay quiet about it.
**[13:56] ---**
Satoko...
**[13:57] ---**
But I realized something.
**[14:00] ---**
And I realized it because of what
you and the others did for me.
**[14:03] ---**
I know now what my *Nii-Nii* wanted
from me, what he left behind for me...
**[14:09] ---**
So when the doorbell rang,
**[14:12] ---**
and my uncle was grabbing my shoulders,
**[14:14] ---**
even though I was scared stiff,
and was shaking with fear...
**[14:17] ---**
...I gathered up all my courage and shouted...
**[14:20] ---**
"Help me!"
**[14:24] ---**
You fought a hard battle, too.
**[14:27] ---**
I'm quite capable when
the situation calls for me!
**[14:31] ---**
Believe me, I know.
**[14:33] ---**
Was everything okay after that?
**[14:35] ---**
My uncle flew into a rage and tried to hurt me,
**[14:38] ---**
but Ooishi-*san* restrained him
and took him to the police station.
**[14:42] ---**
So you don't need to worry about me anymore.
**[14:45] ---**
My uncle won't be returning anytime soon.
**[14:49] ---**
Really?
**[14:50] ---**
I've gotta apologize to Ooishi-*san*.
I had him pegged all wrong.
**[14:57] ---**
Guess that means...
**[14:59] ---**
It's really over.
**[15:01] ---**
That's right.
**[15:02] ---**
Now we just need to thoroughly enjoy
the Watanagashi festival tomorrow!
**[15:07] ---**
You got that right!
**[15:08] ---**
We made it through the storm,
and now we get to go to the festival together,
**[15:13] ---**
then live happily ever after!
**[15:15] ---**
You'll come with me to watch
Rika's ceremonial dance, yes?
**[15:21] ---**
I simply can't wait!
**[15:23] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th, 1983"
**[15:52] ---**
I'm here to pick you up!
**[15:56] ---**
Do forgive me for the delay, everyone!
**[15:58] ---**
Satoko-*chan*!
**[15:59] ---**
The coach told me you were supposed
to stop by the clinic for a check-up,
**[16:04] ---**
but you said no.
**[16:05] ---**
That's right, I'm fit as a fiddle!
**[16:07] ---**
I get it! You were scared to spend
the night there by yourself, huh?
**[16:12] ---**
After all, Satoko can't fall asleep
without me in bed with her.
**[16:18] ---**
What's that supposed to imply? What?!
**[16:21] ---**
Well, you see--
**[16:22] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[16:24] ---**
I was going to hear you out, but my,
what kind of person do you take me for?
**[16:30] ---**
I thought we'd never get these
happy, fun times back...
**[16:35] ---**
Yeah, but we got 'em back.
**[16:39] ---**
Together.
**[16:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:42] ---**
Okay! We've got Kei-*chan*
and Shion with us this year,
**[16:44] ---**
so it's time for the Watanagashi
Six-Demon Battle Royale!
**[16:48] ---**
My, already? I won't hold back, you know!
**[16:51] ---**
No idea what that is,
but I'm down for a battle!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, rules for today are simple:
whoever has the most fun, wins!
**[16:58] ---**
That sound good?
**[16:59] ---**
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
**[17:14] ---**
Hey, Satoko-*chan*!
**[17:15] ---**
We were so worried about you.
You doing better now?
**[17:18] ---**
If you're ever in a pickle,
just say the word, we'll help!
**[17:22] ---**
Way to go there, Maebara boy!
**[17:36] ---**
Satoko?
**[17:38] ---**
It's just getting started...
**[17:44] ---**
What'd you want to talk to me up here for?
**[17:46] ---**
Rika told me everything.
**[17:48] ---**
About how you hard you worked
to help me, everything.
**[17:52] ---**
It was no big deal. We're friends, aren't we?
**[17:57] ---**
I'm really thankful
for all you've done for me.
**[18:00] ---**
I'm sorry to ask, but I have
one more favor for you.
**[18:05] ---**
Would it be all right...
**[18:07] ---**
...if I called you "*Nii-Nii*"?
**[18:11] ---**
Huh? But isn't that...
**[18:13] ---**
You don't like the nickname "*Nii-Nii*"?
**[18:15] ---**
N-No, it's fine, I just...
**[18:18] ---**
Then it's settled!
**[18:20] ---**
*Nii-Nii*!
**[18:23] ---**
*Nii-Nii*!
**[18:28] ---**
Y-Yeah!
**[18:32] ---**
Also, there's something I'd like to give you.
**[18:36] ---**
It was something very important
to my *Nii-Nii*.
**[18:40] ---**
But now that *you're*
my *Nii-Nii*, Keiichi-*san*,
**[18:43] ---**
I want *you* to have it.
**[18:46] ---**
If you really feel that way, then sure.
**[18:49] ---**
I'm embarrassed for anyone
to know about this,
**[18:52] ---**
so let's go before they know we're gone!
**[19:02] ---**
Come on now, don't be a stranger!
**[19:05] ---**
After all, this is your house too, *Nii-Nii*!
**[19:14] ---**
Wait right here, okay?
**[19:21] ---**
Let's see, where's the switch...
**[19:37] ---**
You little shit!
**[19:41] ---**
U-Uncle!
**[19:42] ---**
You think you can fuck me over like that, huh?!
**[19:48] ---**
Well, you ain't fuckin' me over today,
**[19:51] ---**
bitch!
**[21:01] ---**
Do you remember me?
**[21:04] ---**
You're the cop who was with Ooishi-*san*...
**[21:07] ---**
The name's Kumagai.
**[21:08] ---**
Could you tell me what happened
the night of Watanagashi?
**[21:12] ---**
That night?
**[21:14] ---**
Satoko brought me over to her house
and I went inside and...
**[21:20] ---**
My head... hurts so bad!
**[21:22] ---**
I'll go call a doctor!
**[21:26] ---**
I'm okay, I'm okay...
**[21:29] ---**
But I just can't remember
what happened that night...
**[21:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:37] ---**
Umm, where's Ooishi-*san*?
**[21:40] ---**
I have to thank him for helping Satoko...
**[21:42] ---**
If you remember anything, please give me a call.
**[21:58] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! You're outside today.
**[22:02] ---**
Hey, Rena. Stop keeping secrets and tell me.
**[22:06] ---**
What the hell happened that night?
**[22:09] ---**
Why haven't Mion, or Shion, or Rika-*chan*...
**[22:12] ---**
...or even Satoko come to visit me yet?
**[22:17] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*...
**[22:20] ---**
It's probably a good thing you
went over to Satoko-*chan*'s house.
**[22:24] ---**
Huh?
**[22:26] ---**
That night,
**[22:29] ---**
at the Furude Shrine,
after the cotton-drifting ceremony,
**[22:34] ---**
Ooishi-*san* came at the crowd,
with his gun drawn...
**[22:40] ---**
Mii-*chan*, Shii-*chan*, Rika-*chan*, Satoko-*chan*...
**[22:44] ---**
...they're all dead!
**[22:46] ---**
Dead?!
**[22:48] ---**
It makes no sense, right?!
**[22:50] ---**
We worked so hard, and had
finally crossed the finish line...
**[22:54] ---**
So why? Why did this happen?
**[22:57] ---**
Why did I have to watch?
**[22:59] ---**
It doesn't make any sense!
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:04] ---**
"Evening News for June 19th, 1983"
**[00:15] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[00:20] ---**
Where did Keiichi-*kun*
and Satoko-*chan* run off to?
**[00:24] ---**
They were there for most of the performance...
**[00:28] ---**
After the long battle we just had,
**[00:30] ---**
I'm sure they're off somewhere alone
really relishing our victory.
**[00:36] ---**
Whyever are they *relishing* it
*by themselves*? Why?
**[00:40] ---**
They are at that age.
**[00:41] ---**
We'll have to thoroughly interrogate
the two of them tomorrow.
**[00:47] ---**
Hanyuu, we broke through this
dead-end fate and rescued Satoko.
**[00:54] ---**
So I know...
**[00:55] ---**
...that together, we have the strength
**[00:58] ---**
to break through the fate
calling for my death.
**[01:18] ---**
Doesn't look like Keiichi-*kun*
and Satoko-*chan* are back yet.
**[01:21] ---**
I'd better head home soon, too,
**[01:24] ---**
else old Gran will force me to
"make conversation" with my relatives.
**[01:27] ---**
Oh, I'll go with you.
**[01:29] ---**
I can stay the night in the guest house.
**[01:32] ---**
Why, if it isn't Miss Rika! What's the matter?
**[01:36] ---**
Have you seen Tomitake?
You might have seen him with Takano.
**[01:41] ---**
Oh, yeah, I just saw them in the parking lot...
**[01:48] ---**
Ooishi?
**[01:52] ---**
I've been looking for you,
**[01:54] ---**
Rika Furude-*san*!
**[01:58] ---**
Wha-- Detective?!
**[02:00] ---**
Are you drunk?!
**[02:04] ---**
Why...?
**[02:08] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[02:09] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[02:11] ---**
I finally solved the mystery!
**[02:14] ---**
Hey! Snap out of it--
**[02:31] ---**
It's so itchy!
**[02:34] ---**
Itchy! Itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[02:40] ---**
Why is Ooishi...?
**[02:41] ---**
I know the truth behind
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse!
**[02:45] ---**
Now fess up, Rika Furude!
**[02:48] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[02:49] ---**
I know *you* were the one behind
all those mysterious deaths!
**[02:55] ---**
That's ridiculous!
**[02:58] ---**
Though I suppose there's no point arguing...
**[03:02] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[03:04] ---**
The curse, this itchiness, your involvement,
**[03:08] ---**
everything's because of this damn village!
**[03:16] ---**
Detective Ooishi!
**[03:17] ---**
I'll hear what you have to say!
I'm the next head of the Sonozaki Family!
**[03:20] ---**
Just let go of Rika-*chan*!
**[03:21] ---**
What?
**[03:24] ---**
No!
**[03:26] ---**
Mion!
**[03:28] ---**
Now's your chance to get Rika--
**[03:29] ---**
Don't you get in my way!
**[03:32] ---**
Shion!
**[03:33] ---**
Stop...
**[03:37] ---**
No... way...
**[03:41] ---**
Please, stop.
**[03:43] ---**
Shii-*chan*! Mii-*chan*!
**[03:45] ---**
Take care of Kei-*chan* for me, Rena.
**[03:53] ---**
*No!*
**[03:57] ---**
--Rika-*chan*! Rika-*chan*!
- Please, Ooishi-*san*, don't!
**[04:01] ---**
--Now, confess! Tell me the truth!
--Rika-*chan*! Rika-*chan*!
Please, Ooishi-*san*, don't!
**[04:03] ---**
--Now, confess! Tell me the truth!
--You've already done so many horrible things!
You can take me instead!
**[04:05] ---**
--Rika Furude!
--You've already done so many horrible things!
You can take me instead!
**[04:12] ---**
How could this perfect world end like this?
**[04:17] ---**
What? What'd you say?
**[04:20] ---**
Nothing. Just end it.
**[04:22] ---**
What?!
**[04:24] ---**
I won't reveal the secrets of the curse.
You'll die knowing nothing.
**[04:28] ---**
You little brat!
**[04:31] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[04:35] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[04:39] ---**
Talk! Talk! Talk!
**[04:43] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[04:46] ---**
Talk!
**[04:48] ---**
Satoko-*chan*!
**[04:49] ---**
Stay back!
**[05:13] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[05:16] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[05:20] ---**
*The distortions in the light
growing more twisted*
**[05:23] ---**
*Logic lost to me now*
**[05:27] ---**
*I believe what you said*
**[05:30] ---**
*A place I long to return to*
**[05:34] ---**
*Distinct scenery*
**[05:37] ---**
*She sneered as she declared she wanted it all*
**[05:42] ---**
*I've always felt your joy*
**[05:45] ---**
*I've always felt your tears*
**[05:50] ---**
*No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me*
**[05:56] ---**
*The one and only answer*
**[05:59] ---**
*The door I was searching for*
**[06:03] ---**
*Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me*
**[06:10] ---**
*Something engulfed in the bright light*
**[06:18] ---**
*The true nature of everything*
**[06:20] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
*The true nature of everything*
**[06:22] ---**
*The true nature of everything*
**[06:33] ---**
Everything is okay now, Rika.
**[06:39] ---**
That pain is no more than a memory.
**[06:41] ---**
You should not be able to feel it now.
**[06:46] ---**
Ooishi killed me!
**[06:51] ---**
Huh? I remember who killed me.
**[06:56] ---**
What's going on?
**[06:58] ---**
As I said before,
**[07:00] ---**
I am only a lingering trace
left behind by Hanyuu.
**[07:05] ---**
Yes, so you can't leave this dimension, right?
**[07:09] ---**
Even though I wish we could
share a drink again...
**[07:13] ---**
I would have preferred
a sweet cream puff to that red juice.
**[07:22] ---**
Rika, please listen to me.
**[07:25] ---**
I used all of my remaining power
to temporarily restore your abilities.
**[07:32] ---**
Huh?
**[07:33] ---**
Now, when you repeat worlds,
you will not lose any part of your memories.
**[07:40] ---**
So I'll be able to remember who killed me?
**[07:44] ---**
Yes. Now, you'll know how to fight, resist,
**[07:49] ---**
and live as one who lives in loops.
**[07:53] ---**
This is all I could do as
a small remnant of myself.
**[07:57] ---**
Did you ever think that I might not want this?
**[08:00] ---**
I'm sure you have already realized
**[08:02] ---**
that this Hinamizawa is different
than the one of five years ago.
**[08:06] ---**
I have.
**[08:07] ---**
In the world where Keiichi was paranoid...
**[08:11] ---**
I gave Keiichi a hint so he'd trust Rena.
**[08:17] ---**
And Keiichi listened,
**[08:19] ---**
but things still ended in tragedy.
**[08:23] ---**
In the world where Shion
went on a violent rampage...
**[08:25] ---**
The doll, which was
the primary cause of the rampage,
**[08:28] ---**
ended up in Mion's hands
due to my suggestion.
**[08:30] ---**
But even though Mion had the doll...
**[08:34] ---**
...I was still killed.
**[08:36] ---**
I don't have memory of that one,
so I don't know who killed me or how.
**[08:42] ---**
If I'd known, I might have
been able to deal with them.
**[08:45] ---**
You'll figure it out, Rika.
**[08:47] ---**
Really?
**[08:49] ---**
How do I "figure out" a way
to protect myself from Ooishi and his gun?
**[08:55] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.
**[09:00] ---**
Hanyuu?
**[09:01] ---**
You'll figure it out, Rika.
**[09:04] ---**
You already said that.
**[09:09] ---**
You have so many wonderful friends.
**[09:12] ---**
Keiichi, Rena, Mion, Shion, Satoko...
and so many more.
**[09:18] ---**
You're one, too, Hanyuu.
**[09:21] ---**
So please, don't waste your power
on unnecessary boons.
**[09:26] ---**
You can't disappear on me!
**[09:30] ---**
Rika, after your hundred-year journey,
you were exhausted.
**[09:36] ---**
In these last five years,
your tired heart has recovered slightly,
**[09:40] ---**
but that will not last for long.
**[09:42] ---**
Those who live in loops
do not have *physical* lifespans.
**[09:46] ---**
Only their consciousness persists.
**[09:48] ---**
Yes, I know that, and I hate it!
**[09:50] ---**
A hundred years! A century I was trapped
in Hinamizawa, like a bird in a cage!
**[09:54] ---**
I witnessed tragedy after tragedy,
without knowing the reason *why*!
**[09:58] ---**
If it wasn't for my friends and their miracle,
my soul would be long dead!
**[10:03] ---**
To my mind, time has long passed 1983!
**[10:06] ---**
I'm not this little girl anymore!
**[10:09] ---**
I got away from the village and achieved
my dream of starting a new life!
**[10:15] ---**
And after all that, I got
dragged right back to Hinamizawa!
**[10:19] ---**
Do you know what that means?!
**[10:22] ---**
That means that if I can use
this new power to escape again,
**[10:26] ---**
one day, out of nowhere,
I might be whisked away to 1983 again!
**[10:31] ---**
Do you know how horrifying that is?!
**[10:34] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:35] ---**
If you disappear,
then I'll really, truly be alone!
**[10:48] ---**
Rika, I didn't want to have
to tell you about this...
**[10:53] ---**
But now, it shall be my parting words.
**[10:56] ---**
Huh?
**[10:57] ---**
Of the many artifacts bearing my name,
**[11:00] ---**
the most important,
most holy of them is a sacred sword,
**[11:05] ---**
Onigari-no-ryuou.
**[11:09] ---**
It has the ability to kill those
for whom death is no end, but beginning:
**[11:13] ---**
it can kill one who lives in loops.
**[11:16] ---**
This sword can kill someone
looping through worlds?
**[11:18] ---**
You can find it hidden within
the statue in the ritual tool storehouse.
**[11:23] ---**
And what do you want me to do with that?
Which "looper" am I killing?!
**[11:30] ---**
The Hanyuu that faded into the sea
of shards did not want this reunion.
**[11:37] ---**
But you are no longer a fledgling.
**[11:41] ---**
Wait!
**[11:42] ---**
Goodbye, Rika.
**[11:44] ---**
Your life and future must be
shaped by your own hands.
**[11:49] ---**
Wait! Don't go, Hanyuu!
**[11:52] ---**
Hanyuu!
**[11:58] ---**
I hope you'll have a cream puff
for me every now and then.
**[12:01] ---**
No!
**[12:03] ---**
I only made it through those hundred years
because you were there with me!
**[12:07] ---**
If you leave me, if you're gone--!
**[12:14] ---**
I can't do this! Not without you!
**[12:26] ---**
Hanyuu!
**[12:30] ---**
My, are you finally awake?
**[12:32] ---**
Weekend or not, sleeping in
this late is quite slovenly!
**[12:36] ---**
I've already begun preparing our breakfast.
**[12:37] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
I've already begun preparing our breakfast.
**[12:40] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
Oh? Rika, did you have a bad dream?
**[12:40] ---**
Oh? Rika, did you have a bad dream?
**[12:48] ---**
Yes, I did. A horrible, horrible dream.
**[12:55] ---**
What happened in it?
**[12:58] ---**
I don't remember it at all.
**[13:03] ---**
Well, if it was that horrible,
perhaps it's a good thing you don't remember.
**[13:08] ---**
Go wash your face
and come help me in the kitchen.
**[13:28] ---**
Who could be calling
this early in the morning?
**[13:31] ---**
Rika, could you please finish up for me?
**[13:40] ---**
And what do you want me to do with that?
Which "looper" am I killing?!
**[13:45] ---**
The answer is obvious.
**[13:50] ---**
We've been summoned
to an emergency gathering!
**[13:52] ---**
Mion-*san* would like us to
participate in a club activity!
**[13:55] ---**
We're meeting up at school in one hour!
**[13:59] ---**
I have to do something today,
**[14:02] ---**
so I won't be going to club.
**[14:04] ---**
You cannot be serious!
**[14:06] ---**
Deserting your comrades begs
a penalty! That's a club rule!
**[14:12] ---**
Must you do this "something"
of yours right away?
**[14:18] ---**
No, I don't.
**[14:21] ---**
Then you can do it after club, yes?
**[14:24] ---**
I'm sure you don't want to endure
a penalty punishment!
**[14:28] ---**
I don't.
**[14:30] ---**
That settles it, then!
**[14:31] ---**
Come now, let's have ourselves
some breakfast, then head right out!
**[14:38] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Satoko-*chan*!
**[14:41] ---**
There you are.
**[14:43] ---**
Do forgive us for the delay, everyone!
**[14:48] ---**
What's up, Rika-*chan*?
**[14:51] ---**
She's been like this all morning!
**[14:54] ---**
Didn't sleep well? Up too late last night?
**[14:56] ---**
It was a bad dream, apparently.
**[14:59] ---**
Though she says she doesn't remember it.
**[15:02] ---**
I bet she looked so cute,
trembling all scared under the covers!
**[15:05] ---**
--I wanna--
--No taking her home.
**[15:08] ---**
Where's Shii?
**[15:10] ---**
Shion? Huh?
**[15:12] ---**
I don't think I told her to come.
**[15:14] ---**
Though if you want to hang with her,
Rika-*chan*, I can give her a call.
**[15:18] ---**
No, that's okay.
**[15:19] ---**
Boy, you sure are out of it.
**[15:21] ---**
Could you be getting sick?
**[15:25] ---**
I'm not sick.
**[15:26] ---**
I got it!
**[15:27] ---**
This'll cheer you up: how about you pick
the game we play today, Rika-*chan*?
**[15:32] ---**
Hey, that's a great idea!
**[15:34] ---**
I concur! We'll lift those downtrodden spirits
of yours with a rousing game!
**[15:39] ---**
Let's do it!
**[15:41] ---**
Whatever game you pick, I'm winning!
**[15:43] ---**
Okay, what do we play?
**[15:45] ---**
I want to play hide and seek.
**[15:47] ---**
Hide and seek? Huh, that's random.
**[15:50] ---**
I like hide and seek!
**[15:52] ---**
Where are we allowed to hide?
Anywhere on school grounds?
**[15:56] ---**
That's too small! We'll be found too quickly!
**[15:59] ---**
Anywhere in Hinamizawa is okay.
**[16:02] ---**
Anywhere in the village? That's a big area.
**[16:07] ---**
I'll use my crafty trapmaking skills
to ensnare and deter anyone looking for me!
**[16:11] ---**
Satoko, the only person hiding
is going to be me.
**[16:16] ---**
Just you?
**[16:17] ---**
If you can find me before sunset, then you win.
**[16:22] ---**
And if we don't find you?
**[16:24] ---**
If you don't, I'll go home by myself.
**[16:29] ---**
So the clock is ticking on finding you! Okay.
**[16:32] ---**
Considering how big the village is,
that's gonna be quite the challenge.
**[16:35] ---**
But we're definitely gonna find you, Rika-*chan*!
**[16:38] ---**
Sure. Chin up, okay?
**[16:41] ---**
Is ten minutes enough time for you to hide?
**[16:45] ---**
That's fine.
**[16:46] ---**
Okay, let's do this!
**[16:48] ---**
Your hiding time starts now!
**[16:54] ---**
I don't think you'll find me.
**[16:56] ---**
What, already calling the game?
**[16:59] ---**
If you can't find me,
and feel really, really sad about it,
**[17:03] ---**
it's not your fault, okay?
**[17:24] ---**
It's been long enough, right?
**[17:26] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[17:31] ---**
Should we split up?
**[17:33] ---**
This old geezer's got
a sneaking suspicion about the school.
**[17:37] ---**
I'll go search for her at the shrine, then!
**[17:40] ---**
I'll check down the road leading to the school.
**[17:42] ---**
I know a really good hiding place,
so I'm gonna head there first!
**[17:47] ---**
Okay, see you guys later!
**[17:55] ---**
Rika-*chan*! There's no point hiding from me!
**[18:04] ---**
Found you!
**[18:07] ---**
Huh?
**[18:08] ---**
Rika! You must be around here, I know it!
**[18:11] ---**
Just give yourself up already, now!
**[18:17] ---**
Rika-*chan*, are you in here?
**[18:25] ---**
There's no way Rika-*chan*'s hiding
somewhere as obvious as this.
**[18:32] ---**
The sun's been down for a while.
**[18:38] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s gonna come back, right?
**[18:42] ---**
Perhaps she's already gone home.
**[18:44] ---**
She did say she would.
**[18:47] ---**
Hate to say it, but we're gonna need to
ask her where she was hiding tomorrow.
**[18:51] ---**
I'll interrogate her thoroughly!
**[18:53] ---**
Okay.
**[18:59] ---**
Hold on a sec.
**[19:03] ---**
Doesn't Rika-*chan* want us to find her?
**[19:07] ---**
I don't think you'll find me.
**[19:09] ---**
You're right!
**[19:11] ---**
She *was* acting strange all morning.
**[19:14] ---**
I thought it was because of that nightmare,
**[19:17] ---**
but perhaps something is troubling her.
**[19:20] ---**
If there is, then we can't let
the game end here!
**[19:23] ---**
Who cares if the sun is down?!
**[19:24] ---**
We'll keep looking till we find her
'cause she's our friend!
**[19:27] ---**
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
**[19:29] ---**
Mion! Do you know of any
super obscure places in the village?
**[20:20] ---**
It should be...
**[20:29] ---**
Silly Hanyuu. It's not here.
**[20:33] ---**
There's no sword!
**[20:36] ---**
You left me this parting gift
I didn't even want,
**[20:38] ---**
and it's not even here!
**[21:07] ---**
This should be big enough
to fulfill its purpose.
**[21:23] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[21:24] ---**
Rika! Come out if you're in there!
**[21:28] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Please come out!
**[21:31] ---**
We might've lost today,
but we won't let you win tomorrow!
**[21:39] ---**
I can die whenever I want now.
**[21:42] ---**
Thank you, Hanyuu.
**[21:45] ---**
Now I feel like I can try a little bit longer.
**[21:56] ---**
Five more loops.
**[21:57] ---**
I'll try for five more loops,
**[21:59] ---**
and if I don't succeed...
**[22:05] ---**
...I'll give up.

"Wide Show at Noon: Monday, June 13th"
**[00:07] ---**
What?!
**[00:08] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[00:10] ---**
Oh, I'm dead serious!
**[00:12] ---**
I've seen how hyped up you get
when we play games in club.
**[00:16] ---**
I agree; Keiichi-*san* is more than qualified!
**[00:20] ---**
I only get that into it
because I don't want to lose.
**[00:23] ---**
It's not like I'm intentionally trying
to get people more excited.
**[00:26] ---**
But it's true! You're really good
at getting people to have fun!
**[00:32] ---**
I-If you say so...
**[00:34] ---**
I think you're giving me
way too much credit, though.
**[00:38] ---**
You endorse him too, right, Rika?
**[00:41] ---**
Huh?
**[00:44] ---**
Of course!
**[00:46] ---**
Keiichi's a natural-born expert
at making any activity more fun!
**[00:52] ---**
H-Hold on, I don't know anything about
being on a festival planning committee!
**[00:58] ---**
I wouldn't be much help at all!
**[00:59] ---**
Forget about the stuffy old title!
It doesn't matter.
**[01:02] ---**
I'll tell you the job I want you to do.
**[01:04] ---**
In short, I want you to be the host
for the festival auction!
**[01:08] ---**
Wh-What the hell?!
**[01:29] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[01:32] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[01:36] ---**

*Logic lost to me now*

*I believe what you said*

*A place I long to return to*
**[01:50] ---**
*Distinct scenery*
**[01:53] ---**
*She sneered as she declared she wanted it all*
**[01:58] ---**
*I've always felt your joy*
**[02:01] ---**

**[02:45] ---**
So basically, you want me to auction off
donated prizes at the festival?
**[02:51] ---**
Yep! And if you do a really good job,
**[02:54] ---**
you'll get three years' worth of tickets
to Angel Mort's Dessert Fiesta!
**[02:58] ---**
My, what an extravagant reward!
**[03:01] ---**
I'm sure Keiichi-*san* will
earn it with flying colors!
**[03:05] ---**
Easy for you to say when you're not
the one who has to earn it.
**[03:08] ---**
I'm sure you'll do great!
**[03:16] ---**
Look, I'd love to be able to donate
some products to your auction, but...
**[03:20] ---**
The old hag hopes your donations
will help make this auction fun for all ages!
**[03:27] ---**
So the old Sonozaki demon's
expecting me to help...
**[03:32] ---**
All right, I'll donate.
**[03:34] ---**
Thanks, Uncle Yoshiro!
**[03:37] ---**
Kei-*chan*, we're in! He's gonna make
a generous donation to our auction!
**[03:41] ---**
Nice going, Mion!
**[03:43] ---**
Okay, let's find something that'll get
people wanting to join in and bid high!
**[03:50] ---**
Leave that to me!
**[03:53] ---**
Let's keep an eye on Uncle Yoshiro's reaction
while we're picking something...
**[03:56] ---**
Rena-*san*! This would be splendid,
don't you think?
**[04:01] ---**
It's sooo kyute! I wanna take 'em *all* home!
**[04:04] ---**
Hey, uh, keep it reasonable, could you?
**[04:10] ---**
Look over here!
**[04:12] ---**
Mahjong.
**[04:13] ---**
I haven't played in a while!
**[04:15] ---**
I've already forgotten most of the rules.
**[04:18] ---**
Wait, did you guys play in club, then?
**[04:22] ---**
I believe it was at the end of last year.
**[04:24] ---**
And you were so good at it, Satoko-*chan*!
**[04:28] ---**
My river was loaded with traps!
**[04:32] ---**
Don't tell me you were playing mahjong
on the clock, Uncle Yoshiro.
**[04:36] ---**
No, of course not.
**[04:38] ---**
A customer told me he could perform
a *tsubame gaeshi*, so I had him show me.
**[04:43] ---**
A *tsubame gaeshi*?!
**[04:46] ---**
Yes, a *tsubame gaeshi*.
**[04:48] ---**
So what's a "*tsubame gaeshi*"?
**[04:50] ---**
It's a cunning trick where you
secretly swap your hand with the wall!
**[04:55] ---**
I want to see it, too!
Can you do it, Satoko-*chan*?
**[04:59] ---**
I've practiced the technique countless times,
but only succeeded a mere few.
**[05:04] ---**
Show me! Show me!
**[05:06] ---**
Very well, but don't mock me
if I fail to accomplish the task.
**[05:12] ---**
Why were you practicing
that move in the first place?
**[05:16] ---**
Hey, planting traps way ahead of time
is Satoko's typical game strategy.
**[05:23] ---**
Right, here I go!
**[05:32] ---**
There!
**[05:40] ---**
I knew I couldn't do it.
**[05:42] ---**
Hey, you were pretty close.
**[05:44] ---**
Let me give it a try.
**[05:47] ---**
I'll try, too!
**[05:48] ---**
My, what's going on in here?
**[05:51] ---**
Hey there.
**[05:52] ---**
Ooishi...
**[05:53] ---**
You sure you should be stopping in here
while you're on the beat, Detective?
**[05:57] ---**
Wait, *detective*?
**[06:01] ---**
Don't worry, I'm not working today.
**[06:03] ---**
I was just thinking about swapping out
my old mahjong mat for a new one.
**[06:08] ---**
Do you kids like mahjong?
**[06:11] ---**
I didn't think young people could
play a game this complicated.
**[06:16] ---**
Don't go getting the wrong idea
about our game club.
**[06:20] ---**
We were just practicing how
to pull off a *tsubame gaeshi*!
**[06:23] ---**
A-A t *subame gaeshi*? Goodness.
**[06:27] ---**
This is the customer
I was talking about earlier.
**[06:32] ---**
Wait, really?!
**[06:35] ---**
I wouldn't use it in a real match.
It makes for a nice parlor trick.
**[06:38] ---**
So, uh, Ooishi-*san*, right?
Could you show us how to do it?
**[06:45] ---**
Very well!
**[06:48] ---**
Here we go, now.
**[07:04] ---**
You made it look easy!
**[07:05] ---**
That was incredible, Ooishi-*san*!
**[07:07] ---**
I'm totally floored!
**[07:09] ---**
My name's Keiichi Maebara!
**[07:11] ---**
Please show me how to do that!
**[07:15] ---**
Sure.
**[07:17] ---**
I can't believe Ooishi and Keiichi
are happily playing mahjong...
**[07:21] ---**
Umm... do I hold it like this?
**[07:23] ---**
No, not like that! Don't lift it up.
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, there you are!
**[07:30] ---**
Did you have any trouble
finding the store, Akasaka-*san*?
**[07:35] ---**
I did, sorry to say. I got completely lost.
**[07:51] ---**
Is that really you, Akasaka?
**[07:54] ---**
That means you must be Rika-*chan*, yeah?
**[07:58] ---**
--You know him?
--You're acquainted with
Furude-*san* here? What a surprise.
**[08:04] ---**
Long time no see. You sure have grown.
**[08:08] ---**
You've grown too, Akasaka.
You look a lot stronger.
**[08:11] ---**
Why are you here in Hinamizawa?
**[08:13] ---**
I'm here on vacation with my wife.
**[08:16] ---**
My daughter is back at home with my parents.
**[08:19] ---**
Akasaka-*san*'s quite attached
to his darling wife.
**[08:24] ---**
Around five years ago,
when he was in Okinomiya on a work trip,
**[08:29] ---**
but he got worried about his wife,
abandoned work and headed straight home.
**[08:35] ---**
I went back because you told me
something bad would happen if I didn't.
**[08:40] ---**
I got really worried and
went back to Yukie's hospital.
**[08:44] ---**
That day, someone fell on the stairs
that Yukie usually walked up and down.
**[08:51] ---**
If I hadn't listened to you, Rika,
Yukie might've been the one who got hurt.
**[08:56] ---**
Now that you mention it, Rika sometimes
says things that are very prophetic.
**[09:01] ---**
No surprise there. They *do* say
she's Oyashiro-*sama* reborn.
**[09:04] ---**
You saved Yukie's life. I promise
to repay that debt to you however I can.
**[09:10] ---**
Just tell me how I can help.
**[09:11] ---**
"June 19th, 1978"
**[09:14] ---**
In June of 1983,
on today's date or the days after,
**[09:19] ---**
--I will be murdered.
--Huh?
**[09:22] ---**
I want to live a happy life.
That's all I ever wanted.
**[09:26] ---**
I want to live out my days
surrounded by my beloved friends.
**[09:31] ---**
That's all I want and nothing else.
**[09:35] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[09:38] ---**
I don't want to die!
**[09:40] ---**
It's been five years since then.
**[09:43] ---**
I've grown strong and have years
of experience. I can help you now.
**[09:52] ---**
I need to talk to you.
**[09:58] ---**
How long are you going to be here, Akasaka?
**[10:02] ---**
We'll be here through the Watanagashi Festival.
**[10:06] ---**
Pretty long summer vacation, huh?
**[10:08] ---**
The precinct got mad at me for not using my PTO.
**[10:12] ---**
So you'll be in Hinamizawa until Watanagashi?
**[10:17] ---**
Oh, no. My wife's waiting for me to head out.
**[10:21] ---**
We'll be staying at Wakura Onsen.
It's a little far, but I'll be here for the--
**[10:26] ---**
Akasaka.
**[10:29] ---**
Could you stay in Hinamizawa
the whole time leading up to the festival?
**[10:33] ---**
Rika-*chan*...
**[10:34] ---**
I know it's a big favor to ask! But please...
**[10:39] ---**
I need you to help me.
**[10:43] ---**
Got it. I'll tell Yukie to head off
to the hot spring resort without me.
**[10:49] ---**
Are you sure?
**[10:52] ---**
I want to help you however I can, Rika-*chan*,
**[10:55] ---**
so I'd be devastated if I couldn't
be there for you when you needed me.
**[10:59] ---**
Thank you, Akasaka!
**[11:02] ---**
I should be thanking *you*.
**[11:05] ---**
I'm sure Yukie will be okay with this.
**[11:08] ---**
Though she might be a little upset with me.
**[11:11] ---**
Well, that's no good!
**[11:22] ---**
I finally found where you're hiding,
you disgusting parasites!
**[11:29] ---**
You're *inside* me!
**[11:32] ---**
Get out! Get out!
**[11:34] ---**
Get out, get out, get out!
**[11:36] ---**
Akasaka-*san*! Can you hear me?!
**[11:38] ---**
If you've got demands, we'll hear you out!
**[11:41] ---**
Just let your hostage go! Let Rika Furude go!
**[11:45] ---**
Akasaka-*san*! What is it that you want?
**[11:48] ---**
Don't interrupt me! I've almost got 'em!
**[11:51] ---**
A few seconds more and I'll be rid of
all these bugs in my brain!
**[11:58] ---**
C'mon, we're almost done...
**[12:02] ---**
I came to help you, Rika-*chan*.
**[12:10] ---**
You don't need to worry anymore, Rika-*chan*!
**[12:13] ---**
Now all the parasites inside of you are gone!
**[12:17] ---**
I *saved* you, Rika-*chan*!
**[12:22] ---**
Right.
**[12:23] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[12:27] ---**
I know how to kill you, you damn bugs!
**[12:33] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[12:36] ---**
You filthy parasites!
I'll burn you all to a fucking crisp!
**[12:46] ---**
Akasaka-*san*! Tell me what you want!
**[12:49] ---**
I'm your mahjong buddy, remember?
**[12:52] ---**
You can trust me!
**[12:54] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[12:55] ---**
Why is this happening?!
**[12:57] ---**
I'm going in!
**[12:58] ---**
Stay back, Maebara-*san*!
**[13:01] ---**
Let go of me! Rika-*chan*'s trapped inside!
**[13:04] ---**
She's our friend!
**[13:06] ---**
I know, but leave this to the professionals!
**[13:10] ---**
Rika! Rika!
**[13:12] ---**
Shout if you're all right!
**[13:14] ---**
Rika--
**[13:16] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[13:21] ---**
No!
**[13:22] ---**
Call the fire department! Hurry!
**[13:24] ---**
C'mon, now!
**[13:26] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[13:29] ---**
Damn it all!
**[13:30] ---**
Now we'll see who dies first--
me, or the parasites!
**[13:35] ---**
The tragic dice controlling
my fate never fail to amaze me.
**[13:40] ---**
To think it would be Akasaka this time...
**[13:55] ---**
"Evening News for Wed., June 15th"
**[14:11] ---**
P-Please!
**[14:15] ---**
Don't blame me for this. Blame this village.
**[14:21] ---**
Goodness, does my neck itch.
**[14:24] ---**
Mom...
**[14:26] ---**
You're still alive? And I was just
about to pass over you.
**[14:31] ---**
Why are you doing this...?
**[14:34] ---**
Our blood cannot be allowed to persist.
**[14:36] ---**
Huh?
**[14:38] ---**
I need to put an end to it...
**[14:41] ---**
To this demon blood inside of us!
**[14:49] ---**
This is the worst... My neck is so itchy!
**[14:54] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy...
**[14:59] ---**
It must be unbearably itchy for you, too.
**[15:05] ---**
It is.
**[15:07] ---**
Though thanks to you,
I can't move my arms to scratch my neck.
**[15:11] ---**
I'm truly sorry you had to be born
into the Furude family.
**[15:19] ---**
If fate was mine to choose, I would have
never wanted to be born in Hinamizawa!
**[15:24] ---**
I agree.
**[15:25] ---**
We fell victim to Hinamizawa's curse
the moment we were born.
**[15:31] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it?
**[15:32] ---**
It's so painful and itchy, isn't it?
**[15:35] ---**
It's okay.
**[15:37] ---**
I'll make you feel all better!
**[15:40] ---**
Yes, please do.
**[15:42] ---**
Put an end to this so I can
move on to the next world.
**[15:46] ---**
I'll be right behind you,
**[15:50] ---**
just as soon as I destroy
your Hinamizawa blood!
**[16:00] ---**
"Wide Show at Noon: Tuesday, June 21st"
**[16:06] ---**
At this rate, the entire village
will fall to Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse!
**[16:11] ---**
This is the only way!
**[16:15] ---**
Please... just let me go.
**[16:21] ---**
Listen here, little Miss Rika. I really
don't want to be doing this right now.
**[16:30] ---**
But you're not tainted, Miss Rika!
**[16:33] ---**
I have to demon you away
and drown you in the swamp!
**[16:36] ---**
Kimiyoshi, if you're going to kill me,
then get to it already!
**[16:41] ---**
This is the only way to quell
Oyashiro-*sama*'s wrath!
**[16:46] ---**
I get it, okay?!
**[16:48] ---**
You can do whatever you want with me
when I'm dead, so kill me already!
**[16:53] ---**
Oh, Miss Rika.
**[16:54] ---**
Please, just kill me now.
**[16:58] ---**
The whole point of a sacrifice is that
you're alive when you're offered up.
**[17:03] ---**
Kimiyoshi!
**[17:12] ---**
They don't understand.
**[17:15] ---**
They just don't get it!
**[17:17] ---**
If we don't do something, the village'll
be swallowed up by this demon swamp gas!
**[17:25] ---**
So I have to do this!
**[17:27] ---**
Someone's hands have gotta get dirty
if our village is to be saved!
**[17:35] ---**
I know, okay?
**[17:37] ---**
The Sonozakis won't do it,
so the Kimiyoshis have to step in!
**[17:41] ---**
Cowards, the lot of them!
I can't believe 'em! Goddamn pathetic!
**[17:54] ---**
Right, little Miss Rika.
**[17:55] ---**
You know good and well that
when Oyashiro-*sama* gets mad,
**[17:59] ---**
the good women of the Furude family
must be sacrificed to quell his wrath, yes?
**[18:02] ---**
Shut up.
**[18:06] ---**
You must be happy to be followin'
in your ancestors' footsteps, Miss Rika.
**[18:12] ---**
Just shut up.
**[18:14] ---**
How can they still not get it?!
**[18:18] ---**
Oryo-*san*'s completely useless!
**[18:20] ---**
Same with Mion-*chan*!
**[18:22] ---**
No one understands their
responsibility to this village!
**[18:25] ---**
Damn whippersnappers...
**[18:27] ---**
Kimiyoshi, could you finish your monologue
*after* tossing me in the swamp?
**[18:32] ---**
My, my, you sure understand the roles
and responsibilities our families play!
**[18:38] ---**
No, your breath just stinks.
**[18:41] ---**
How dare you talk back to your elders?!
**[18:43] ---**
You rude little wretch!

"Breaking News: Monday, June 13th"
**[19:27] ---**
Now things are *really* getting fun, Rena!
**[19:30] ---**
How can you say that, Keiichi-*kun*?!
This isn't fun at all!
**[19:36] ---**
Well, *I've* been having a ton of fun!
**[19:39] ---**
But I bet it'll be even *more* fun
when I split your head open!
**[19:48] ---**
It doesn't stop.
**[19:53] ---**
Boy, fun like this reminds me
of club, doesn't it?!
**[19:56] ---**
You're right, but look--
**[19:59] ---**
Nobody wants to live in this world!
**[20:04] ---**
This is all just a bad dream!
**[20:07] ---**
So please, wake up, Keiichi-*ku*--
**[20:14] ---**
It won't give me a place or time
to catch my breath.
**[20:18] ---**
It just keeps going.
**[20:23] ---**
Why?
**[20:25] ---**
Why am I the only one
who has to go through all this?
**[20:32] ---**
What grave sin did I commit...
**[20:36] ---**
...to be punished to an eternity of *this*?
**[20:40] ---**
Okay, Rika-*chan*. You have to tell me now.
**[20:45] ---**
Where's the secret cure
that gets rid of these parasites?!
**[20:49] ---**
How do I purge these maggots
crawling around in my throat?!
**[20:59] ---**
Sure, I'll tell you. The cure's right here.
**[21:03] ---**
In where?! Where is it?! Give it to me!
**[21:07] ---**
M-My throat's filling up with maggots!
**[21:10] ---**
It's so itchy, so freakin' itchy!
**[21:18] ---**
Right in here.
**[21:21] ---**
Inside my head.
**[21:23] ---**
Split open my skull and eat my brains,
and you'll be cured.
**[21:31] ---**
It's in there?!
**[21:33] ---**
So *that's* where it was!
**[21:36] ---**
How wonderful it would be if
this was just a bad dream.

"Sunday, June 12th"
**[00:27] ---**
Hey. You're finally awake.
**[00:31] ---**
It's almost sundown.
**[00:33] ---**
Satoko...? I...
**[00:37] ---**
You were tossing and turning so much.
**[00:39] ---**
You must have had a terrible nightmare.
**[00:45] ---**
My, you have quite the fever!
**[00:47] ---**
I'll stay here by your side until
you feel better, if that's all right.
**[00:54] ---**
Satoko...
**[01:00] ---**
Poor, poor Rika.
**[01:02] ---**
Why? Why is this happening to me?!
**[01:11] ---**
I don't know what you were dreaming about...
**[01:16] ---**
...but surely you know
your dreams are important.
**[01:20] ---**
Huh?
**[01:21] ---**
Your dreams are the way they are for a reason.
**[01:25] ---**
A very important reason, Rika.
**[01:28] ---**
A reason? What kind of reasoning...
**[01:32] ---**
...justifies being tortured
by these horrible, tragic realities?!
**[01:39] ---**
You don't know why you suffer
through terrible dreams, night after night?
**[01:45] ---**
S-Satoko, what are you...
**[01:51] ---**
My body... everything hurts!
**[01:53] ---**
These horrible dreams are torturing you,
**[01:58] ---**
and you still don't know the reason
why they are doing so?
**[02:04] ---**
What's going on...?!
**[02:06] ---**
Rika, you've been cursed.
**[02:09] ---**
C-Cursed? What do you mean?
**[02:15] ---**
Why?!
**[02:16] ---**
I can't move! What's happening?!
**[02:22] ---**
Oh, you mean this?
**[02:26] ---**
Huh?
**[02:38] ---**
It's time, Rika...
**[02:43] ---**
...for the *watanagashi* ritual.

Th-The *watanagashi* ritual?
**[04:24] ---**
You know why we perform it, yes?
**[04:27] ---**
It's the only way to quell the wrath
of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[04:32] ---**
You keep saying "curse"... Why?
**[04:38] ---**
My, it seems the painkiller
has completely worn off.
**[04:46] ---**
I'll give you the last of it, then.
**[04:50] ---**
I know you wouldn't want to be in pain.
**[04:59] ---**
Satoko!
**[05:00] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:01] ---**
Coach has me injecting myself daily,
so I'm quite familiar with needles.
**[05:14] ---**
There, you're not feeling any pain now, yes?
**[05:16] ---**
Satoko...
**[05:18] ---**
You said my nightmares are
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[05:23] ---**
What does that mean?
**[05:25] ---**
I received a revelation
from Oyashiro-*sama*, you see.
**[05:29] ---**
A revelation...?
**[05:33] ---**
He told me you're no longer fit
to be His priestess.
**[05:38] ---**
As such...
**[05:59] ---**
In Oyashiro-*sama*'s grand revelation,
He appointed me as His new priestess.
**[06:09] ---**
Satoko!
**[06:12] ---**
That Oyashiro-*sama* is just a hallucination!
**[06:15] ---**
The syndrome is making you hear things!
It's all in your head!
**[06:18] ---**
Rika...
**[06:22] ---**
Watch as I perform the offertory dance.
**[06:28] ---**
You must come to terms with the truth, Rika.
**[06:30] ---**
This nightmare was not
foisted upon you on a whim.
**[06:34] ---**
Satoko, please!
**[06:36] ---**
You have sinned, Rika...
**[06:39] ---**
...and this is your eternal punishment!
**[06:48] ---**
Please, stop.
**[06:51] ---**
What sin? Why am I being punished?
**[06:54] ---**
I didn't do anything to deserve this!
**[06:57] ---**
You're wrong, Rika.
**[06:59] ---**
Not only did you violate one of
Oyashiro-*sama*'s precepts,
**[07:02] ---**
you did so as His priestess.
**[07:05] ---**
I did? When...?
**[07:09] ---**
For a long, long, long, long time, Rika,
**[07:15] ---**
you've sinfully wished to abandon
Hinamizawa and get away,
**[07:20] ---**
even while performing
His sacred offertory dance!
**[07:23] ---**
Huh?
**[07:27] ---**
I cannot think of a more shameful act
His priestess could commit!
**[07:33] ---**
You're right.
**[07:34] ---**
For the hundreds and hundreds of times
I looped through 1983...
**[07:43] ---**
I was no more than a bird trapped
in a cage called Hinamizawa.
**[07:49] ---**
I wanted to get out, to fly away.
That was my only wish.
**[07:55] ---**
So when...
**[07:56] ---**
Jiro-*san*! Jiro-*san*!
**[08:03] ---**
Sorry I'm late. I'm here to take you home.
**[08:07] ---**
When I finally broke out of that
hundred-year cycle of tragedy...
**[08:13] ---**
There's something I've secretly dreamed
of doing for a long, long time.
**[08:14] ---**
"Entrance Exam Study Guides"
There's something I've secretly dreamed
of doing for a long, long time.
**[08:18] ---**
I chose to leave Hinamizawa.
**[08:27] ---**
I've heard crazy things from people
with Hinamizawa Syndrome before...
**[08:33] ---**
...but this one really hits home.
**[08:39] ---**
The only way to cleanse you of your sin
is to perform the *watanagashi* ritual.
**[08:46] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[08:49] ---**
But this is the only way!
**[08:52] ---**
I'll perform it in your stead!
**[08:55] ---**
I'll cleanse your sins
by offering Him your entrails!
**[09:13] ---**
Rika, why?
**[09:15] ---**
Why would you dream of something
that would anger Oyashiro-*sama*?
**[09:19] ---**
If your heart had stayed in Hinamizawa...
**[09:26] ---**
...then Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
would have never befallen you!
**[09:32] ---**
My... heart...?
**[09:43] ---**
It's all your fault.
**[09:44] ---**
Without you, I wouldn't have had to do this...
**[09:48] ---**
I wouldn't have had to quell his wrath
by finding everyone from club...
**[09:54] ---**
...and sacrificing them!
**[09:57] ---**
I see. This world that was to be my last...
**[10:02] ---**
...was over before it even began.
**[10:06] ---**
This is all your fault, Rika!
**[10:08] ---**
You're Oyashiro-*sama* reborn, aren't you?!
**[10:11] ---**
Why would you do this?!
**[10:26] ---**
Why? Why?
**[10:29] ---**
Why would you violate His precepts?!
**[10:33] ---**
Because of you,
**[10:35] ---**
I've had to spill so much blood!
**[10:40] ---**
What about Keiichi-*san*, Rena-*san*,
Mion-*san*, or Shion-*san*?
**[10:44] ---**
Didn't you enjoy your time
with them here in Hinamizawa?!
**[10:56] ---**
And here I thought you would
love it just as much as I did...
**[11:02] ---**
What about it was not to your liking?
**[11:35] ---**
What about everyone outside club?
**[11:38] ---**
All of your classmates are friends
you have fun with, too.
**[11:42] ---**
And all the villagers are so kind to you!
**[11:46] ---**
So why? Why?! Why abandon Hinamizawa?!
**[11:51] ---**
And it's not just Oyashiro-*sama*
who is sad about it!
**[11:54] ---**
I'm sad, too!
**[11:56] ---**
The thought that the days in Hinamizawa
I enjoyed and loved so much
**[11:58] ---**
meant nothing to you, Rika...
**[12:02] ---**
...is so sad--too saddening to bear!
**[12:14] ---**
Why did I begin to hate Hinamizawa
in the first place?
**[12:20] ---**
The answer is simple.
**[12:28] ---**
I was trapped here for the longest time.
**[12:31] ---**
Yes, that's why the moment
I was released from this curse...
**[12:37] ---**
I wanted to get out of this hick town,
enroll at a fancy, wonderful school,
**[12:41] ---**
and live a sophisticated life.
**[12:44] ---**
Was it so wrong to dream of that?
**[12:46] ---**
A hundred years. A century I was trapped here.
**[13:02] ---**
What was it I disliked about Hinamizawa?
**[13:07] ---**
I didn't dislike it. Not at all.
**[13:10] ---**
The tragedies that tortured me,
the series of mysterious murders,
**[13:14] ---**
they were brought about by people,
plotting and clashing with one another.
**[13:18] ---**
There were times when I was having so much fun,
I barely felt time passing.
**[13:23] ---**
There were times when I was lost in despair,
sobbing on the floor.
**[13:28] ---**
But no matter what happened, Hinamizawa had me
wrapped in its warm embrace.
**[13:33] ---**
Despite that, when peace returned
after a hundred years of grief,
**[13:38] ---**
and Hinamizawa smiled, knowing I could
finally stay here without worry...
**[13:46] ---**
I... I...
**[13:48] ---**
I wished to be rid of this hick village!
**[13:54] ---**
Why would I want something that stupid?
**[13:58] ---**
This is a curse.
**[14:01] ---**
Your curse.
**[14:09] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[14:12] ---**
I was wrong.
**[14:18] ---**
Rika?!
**[14:20] ---**
If you'd go this far, Satoko...
**[14:25] ---**
I finally realize....
**[14:28] ---**
All I want is to live here
in Hinamizawa with you, Rika.
**[14:32] ---**
I don't need anything else.
**[14:38] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry.
**[14:40] ---**
It's all right!
**[14:42] ---**
I'm sure your words of repentance will
grant you Oyashiro-*sama*'s forgiveness!
**[14:53] ---**
I won't make that mistake again...
**[15:12] ---**
My, are you finally awake?
**[15:15] ---**
Satoko?
**[15:16] ---**
It would be quite the waste if you
slept through this fantastic weather!
**[15:22] ---**
Where am I?
**[15:25] ---**
Still half-asleep, I see!
Why, Hinamizawa, of course!
**[15:29] ---**
Mion-*san* had a wonderful idea--
**[15:31] ---**
Hey, Rika-*chan*! You done napping?
**[15:34] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Satoko-*chan*!
Jump in and play with us!
**[15:40] ---**
But this isn't just a game:
it's a club activity!
**[15:42] ---**
Don't go slacking off,
or things'll get bloody!
**[15:45] ---**
So far, you're the only one bleeding here,
after that ball to the face.
**[15:49] ---**
Hey! They don't need to know that!
**[15:56] ---**
What's up, Satoko? Are you chicken?
**[15:58] ---**
My, my, Keiichi-*san*!
**[16:00] ---**
Challenging me to battle? Here I thought
you'd learned not to underestimate me!
**[16:08] ---**
I am looking forward to unleashing
an untold number of watery traps upon you!
**[16:13] ---**
Satoko?
**[16:16] ---**
What is it?
**[16:17] ---**
I need to talk to you about something.
**[16:22] ---**
Sorry, Satoko!
**[16:24] ---**
You have some nerve!
**[16:27] ---**
My apologies, Rika,
but we will have to speak later!
**[16:30] ---**
Now, we must band together
and focus fire on Keiichi-*san*!
**[16:34] ---**
Okey-dokey!
**[16:36] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi! He's in big trouble
now that he's in your sights!
**[16:44] ---**
Sorry to make you wait!
**[16:46] ---**
Rika-*chan* is so kyute in her swimsuit!
I wanna take her home!
**[16:50] ---**
Well, Satoko is just as cute, if not cuter!
**[16:54] ---**
Please, unhand me!
**[16:56] ---**
Though you *can* continue to praise me, I suppose.
**[17:01] ---**
They're *both* kyute! I'm taking them *both* home!
**[17:05] ---**
C'mon, don't get distracted!
**[17:07] ---**
The game's already started,
and losing carries a penalty!
**[17:29] ---**
We had so much fun today!
**[17:32] ---**
Too much fun. I really tired myself out.
**[17:35] ---**
You said you needed to talk to me earlier, yes?
**[17:40] ---**
I'm sure you won't have any idea
what I'm talking about...
**[17:44] ---**
But please, just hear me out until the end.
**[17:52] ---**
I had two very, very long dreams.
**[17:57] ---**
One was a dream that was very painful
for me when I was dreaming it.
**[18:01] ---**
But looking back on it now, I know
it was full of shiny, sparkling wonders.
**[18:07] ---**
In the other dream,
I never noticed those shining wonders,
**[18:10] ---**
and I was punished for
clinging to an ungrateful dream.
**[18:21] ---**
This nightmare lasted a long, long time.
**[18:24] ---**
But after all that, I can finally say
something and mean it:
**[18:29] ---**
I love Hinamizawa!
**[18:39] ---**
It's such a wonderful place,
and I have so many wonderful friends here.
**[18:46] ---**
Why did I ever dream of anything else?
**[18:52] ---**
Rika...
**[18:59] ---**
I don't know what kind of dreams
you've been having,
**[19:03] ---**
but no matter what happens,
I'll always be your friend.
**[19:07] ---**
That goes for Hinamizawa
and everyone else, too.
**[19:10] ---**
We'll love you forever and ever, Rika.
**[19:18] ---**
I'm sure you won't have any more
nightmares from now on.
**[19:24] ---**
Satoko!
**[19:30] ---**
This world is so peaceful...
**[19:32] ---**
It's almost like Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
has been lifted from it completely.
**[19:46] ---**
Thank you, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[19:48] ---**
It's the least I could do!
**[19:50] ---**
A Kenta statue! *My* Kenta statue!

--He's sooo kyute!

become consumed by paranoia.

--Keiichi and Rena never

**[20:10] ---**
What's wrong?
**[20:12] ---**
I was just thinking about dinner!
**[20:17] ---**
You are quite the glutton, Rika!
**[20:19] ---**
Let's head home and get dinner ready.
**[20:22] ---**
Satoko's cruel uncle never returns
to the Hojo household.

**[21:00] ---**
Keiichi and Shion watch
my offertory dance without running off.
**[21:08] ---**
This is a perfect world,
one where I don't need to roll the dice of fate.
**[21:15] ---**
I might actually be able to escape my fate.
**[21:23] ---**
The doom that demands my death.
**[21:44] ---**
Tomitake!
**[21:47] ---**
Is that you, Rika-*chan*?
**[21:48] ---**
I wanted to tell you something, Tomitake!
**[21:51] ---**
Takano and I--
**[21:56] ---**
--Takano...
--What great timing!
**[21:59] ---**
I've been meaning
to talk to you, too, Rika-*chan*.
**[22:05] ---**
Can we talk?

*Wind gently flowing through my hair,

*I want to believe in you,
so I won't falter*
**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said
that day are silent*
**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*

**[00:07] ---**
Time for a little quiz!
**[00:09] ---**
Which one is green: broccoli or cauliflower?
**[00:13] ---**
Cau--
**[00:14] ---**
No, broccoli?
**[00:22] ---**
That's right!
**[00:41] ---**
Now you're going to kill me, right?
**[00:43] ---**
Yes...
**[00:46] ---**
Yes, I am.
**[01:05] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*

*I've always felt your joy*

Takano...
**[02:23] ---**
I didn't know you were here, too, Takano.
**[02:27] ---**
I wouldn't want to interrupt your date.
**[02:34] ---**
Huh?
**[02:38] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[02:41] ---**
I'm so sorry...
**[02:43] ---**
Takano? Why are you apologizing?
**[02:47] ---**
She got herself wrapped up
in a conspiracy of sorts...
**[02:51] ---**
"Wrapped up"? That's kind of you to say.
**[02:53] ---**
No, it was *my* decision to get involved,
and that's the undeniable truth.
**[03:03] ---**
I don't understand, Takano.
**[03:07] ---**
To fulfill my own selfish desires,
I was going to--
**[03:10] ---**
Takano-*san*...
**[03:11] ---**
Jiro-*san*, tonight,
we celebrate Watanagashi, yes?
**[03:15] ---**
Tonight is the night to lay my sins bare
and let them be drifted away.
**[03:23] ---**
I was going to kill you.
**[03:27] ---**
And not just you. All of your friends, too.
**[03:31] ---**
Every last one...
**[03:34] ---**
I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.
**[03:41] ---**
I can't believe you're apologizing...
**[03:45] ---**
Rika-*chan*, she and I need to go.
**[03:48] ---**
What are you going to do now?
**[03:50] ---**
We're leaving Hinamizawa tonight.
**[03:53] ---**
She's a key witness, after all.
**[03:55] ---**
I'll make sure she's kept safe.
**[03:58] ---**
And there won't be any tragedy?
I can trust you on that?
**[04:02] ---**
It won't. I promise.
**[04:05] ---**
Let's go.
**[04:07] ---**
Yes.
**[04:11] ---**
Takano...
**[04:14] ---**
What I don't understand is why
you decided to give up on your plan.
**[04:20] ---**
The Takano I know would never
change her mind, not in a hundred years.
**[04:27] ---**
I don't think you'd understand,
even if I told you.
**[04:41] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[04:43] ---**
"Monday, June 20th"
**[04:48] ---**
Rika Furude-*san*?
**[04:52] ---**
Sato--!
**[04:53] ---**
I'm sorry to startle you.
I work for the Tokyo Bloodhounds.
**[04:59] ---**
I'm here on orders from
First Lieutenant Tomitake.
**[05:01] ---**
I ask that you please remain quiet.
**[05:08] ---**
Is Tomitake okay?
**[05:10] ---**
Yes. He's ordered us to ensure your safety
until the situation is stable.
**[05:18] ---**
Excuse me, sir.
**[05:20] ---**
Hopin' to get the bushes in our yard pruned.
**[05:23] ---**
Sure! I'm just about open.
**[05:25] ---**
Would you mind waiting for a few minutes?
**[05:30] ---**
Come in, and please excuse the mess.
**[05:34] ---**
Let me get you some tea.
**[05:37] ---**
Some pruning, you said?
Would this be in Okinomiya?
**[05:42] ---**
Yes. We'd prefer if it was done
as soon as possible.
**[05:45] ---**
First, I have a question for you.
Where do you hail from?
**[05:50] ---**
Huh?
**[05:50] ---**
You see, outsiders stand out around here.
**[05:55] ---**
As do your Tokyo accents!
**[06:08] ---**
First Lieutenant Okonogi,
a warrant is out for your arrest.
**[06:11] ---**
On what charge?
**[06:12] ---**
Arbitrary execution of Emergency Manual ♪34
and planning a mutiny.
**[06:17] ---**
Let me speak with
my commanding officer, Miyo Takano.
**[06:20] ---**
That will not be authorized.
**[06:22] ---**
I see what's happening.
**[06:24] ---**
The little bird's caught on
to the cuckoo's plan.
**[06:27] ---**
That, or she's left the nest
before we could toss her out.
**[06:36] ---**
Captain Okonogi!
**[06:37] ---**
Stop! The king is off the chessboard.
**[06:41] ---**
There's no point in us continuing with this.
**[06:47] ---**
Understood.
**[06:48] ---**
Did something happen to Dr. Irie?
**[06:51] ---**
Sorry there, sir, but we'll be doing
some renovations from here on out.
**[06:52] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
Sorry there, sir, but we'll be doing
some renovations from here on out.
**[06:55] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
Renovations?
Is that so?
**[06:58] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
All right, then.
We'll come by another day.
**[07:09] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation,
Lieutenant Colonel Irie.
**[07:15] ---**
Please, drop the military title.
I'm just a doctor here.
**[07:19] ---**
Right then, Dr. Irie, please accompany us
for the duration of our inspection.
**[07:24] ---**
Afterwards, you'll be transferred into
the custody of the Investigation Team.
**[07:27] ---**
Very well.
**[07:31] ---**
Thank you for doing all this
without waking Satoshi-*kun*.
**[07:35] ---**
Since he is in the late stages
of Hinamizawa Syndrome,
**[07:38] ---**
he would be afflicted by
intense paranoia and fear,
**[07:41] ---**
and would consider anyone
and everyone to be his enemy.
**[07:44] ---**
What's that teddy bear there for?
**[07:48] ---**
It's a present he bought for
his little sister, Satoko.
**[07:50] ---**
He worked very hard to save up for it.
**[07:54] ---**
I will be back someday
to continue treating Satoshi-*kun*...
**[07:58] ---**
...and to put a definitive end
to Hinamizawa Syndrome.
**[08:03] ---**
That decision is for the disciplinary
committee to make, not you.
**[08:08] ---**
Retriever 7 to all units.
**[08:10] ---**
We've discovered the locked suitcase
mentioned in Major Takano's confession.
**[08:13] ---**
It's said to contain the drug H173.
**[08:16] ---**
--I repeat, we've discovered the locked suitcase
mentioned in her confession.
**[08:18] ---**
--No...
--I repeat, we've discovered the locked suitcase
mentioned in her confession.
**[08:31] ---**
Syringes of H173...
**[08:33] ---**
This horrific substance causes its victim
to develop Hinamizawa Syndrome
**[08:38] ---**
and progresses the disease
to its final stage, L5.
**[08:43] ---**
Batch 170 was reportedly
destroyed, but here it is!
**[08:54] ---**
Hey there, Rika-*chan*.
**[08:59] ---**
You're okay, Tomitake!
**[09:03] ---**
Seeing you after the night
of Watanagashi is so strange.
**[09:09] ---**
I suppose I *do* head straight back home
after the festival's over.
**[09:13] ---**
That's not what I meant, but sure.
**[09:17] ---**
What's happened since then?
**[09:21] ---**
We were able to escape Hinamizawa
under the Mountain Dogs' noses,
**[09:25] ---**
and reconvened with the Bloodhounds.
**[09:28] ---**
One of those cute doggies came to see me.
**[09:32] ---**
I don't know if I'd call a member of
an elite tactical squad a "cute doggy."
**[09:37] ---**
Am I still in danger?
**[09:40] ---**
You don't need to worry about that anymore.
**[09:42] ---**
We've taken control of the Mountain Dogs' front,
Okonogi Landscaping,
**[09:45] ---**
as well as the Irie Clinic.
**[09:48] ---**
What happened to Irie?
**[09:51] ---**
He's still being held in custody
in Tokyo, but don't worry.
**[09:55] ---**
Takano-*san*'s testimony exonerates
Dr. Irie of any involvement,
**[09:59] ---**
and the results of their investigation
support that claim as well.
**[10:04] ---**
The underground research lab will be closed,
but the clinic will stay open.
**[10:10] ---**
So he'll be back!
**[10:12] ---**
Yes. The village needs a medical clinic,
**[10:15] ---**
as well as a cure for Hinamizawa Syndrome.
**[10:26] ---**
What happened to Takano?
**[10:27] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[10:29] ---**
But...
**[10:31] ---**
Thanks to her courageous admission,
we avoided a horrible tragedy.
**[10:36] ---**
The Tokyo top brass are scrambling
to handle interfactional conflict,
**[10:41] ---**
so she shouldn't be blamed for any of this.
**[10:44] ---**
To be honest, the org treats Hinamizawa Syndrome
like unexploded ordinance.
**[10:49] ---**
Nobody wants to handle it.
**[10:51] ---**
So they don't want to handle her, either?
**[10:56] ---**
So one day, when she's let off
the hook for her involvement...
**[11:03] ---**
...I'll go to take her home.
**[11:10] ---**
Is this how it all ends?
**[11:14] ---**
Without tragedy?
With the dice rolling a six every time?
**[11:24] ---**
Do the dice of fate even exist here?
**[11:39] ---**
What's going on?
**[11:42] ---**
Why all this, after I rolled
a one over and over again?
**[11:46] ---**
Why is this world so different?
**[11:50] ---**
It's almost like the result was
decided beforehand without my knowledge.
**[12:01] ---**
Like the dice have a mind of their own,
engraving their results over and over.
**[12:09] ---**
It's almost like someone *else*
is rolling the dice!
**[12:15] ---**
It has the ability to kill those
for whom death is no end, but beginning:
**[12:19] ---**
it can kill one who lives in loops.
**[12:30] ---**
I never imagined a series of sixes
could feel this foreboding.
**[12:35] ---**
Just when I've escaped tragedy
and arrived in a perfect world...
**[12:41] ---**
Why am I so unsettled by it?!
**[12:49] ---**
Whatever are you doing up here?
**[12:52] ---**
I've been looking for you everywhere.
**[12:57] ---**
You seem a bit down.
Did something happen to trouble you so?
**[13:02] ---**
No, nothing bad happened.
**[13:05] ---**
Only good things have been happening,
and that kind of scares me.
**[13:08] ---**
What an indulgent worry!
**[13:12] ---**
I'm quite happy right now, you know.
**[13:16] ---**
I'm looking out on our beautiful village,
**[13:19] ---**
here with my best friend in the world.
**[13:25] ---**
Doesn't it fill you with joy, too, Rika?
**[13:30] ---**
It sure does.
**[13:34] ---**
I thought as much!
**[13:36] ---**
But I won't allow myself
to doubt this happy moment!
**[13:40] ---**
Worrying about being *too* happy
**[13:43] ---**
is just as wasteful as missing out on
a good sale at the supermarket!
**[13:48] ---**
You're right, it *is* a waste.
**[13:52] ---**
Perhaps you just haven't realized
the true nature of happiness, Rika.
**[13:56] ---**
Huh?
**[13:57] ---**
Painful moments, no matter how small,
stay in our hearts forever.
**[14:02] ---**
But tiny moments of happiness
are quickly forgotten.
**[14:07] ---**
Forget them, and you forget
how truly blessed you are,
**[14:11] ---**
and you instead yearn for a happiness
far greater than you can bear.
**[14:17] ---**
I cannot think of
a more unfortunate turn of events.
**[14:21] ---**
You're happy now, yes, Rika?
What more could you possibly want?
**[14:29] ---**
You're right, Satoko.
**[14:32] ---**
I'm so happy I can be with you here right now.
**[14:37] ---**
So happy...
**[14:40] ---**
...that I can't help but think
something bad will happen.
**[14:45] ---**
Not to fret, Rika. Our lives will be
happy and healthy from here on out.
**[14:52] ---**
After all, this is Hinamizawa.
**[14:55] ---**
As long as we're here,
Oyashiro-*sama* will protect us.
**[14:59] ---**
If she heard you say that,
she'd blush and get all flustered.
**[15:05] ---**
Please, don't ever leave us, Rika.
**[15:15] ---**
Okay! Another day, another game!
**[15:17] ---**
Get that blood pumping for some intense
games and even more intense penalties!
**[15:24] ---**
Who will be our unlucky victim today?
**[15:27] ---**
All right! Let's do this!
**[15:29] ---**
And now that the festival is over,
I can play with you again!
**[15:32] ---**
I won't be the loser today!
**[15:34] ---**
Neither will I! You better learn
not to underestimate this dark horse!
**[15:41] ---**
Please, Keiichi-*san*, you're so predictable!
You don't use any traps!
**[15:45] ---**
That's why you'll be perpetually stuck
at the bottom of the pile!
**[15:48] ---**
Oh, now you're gonna get it, Satoko!
**[15:51] ---**
Keiichi-*san*'s bullying me!
**[15:56] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s crying...
**[15:58] ---**
But she's so *kyute* when she cries!
**[16:01] ---**
I'm gonna take her home!
**[16:08] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[16:10] ---**
Yep, this is what makes club so great.
**[16:14] ---**
S-Sure. If that's what you're into, Kei-*chan*,
this old fart's cool with it.
**[16:31] ---**
Kei-*chan*'s got two pairs!
**[16:35] ---**
I have three of a kind.
**[16:41] ---**
And the game ends with Rika
making off with all the winnings.
**[16:44] ---**
I thought I had you in the fifth hand.
That was my downfall.
**[16:47] ---**
Your poker face totally
tricked me, too, Rika!
**[16:51] ---**
Oh, this was just a fluke.
**[16:52] ---**
So who has to get penalized in this scenario?
**[16:56] ---**
Unfortunately, everyone except
Rika-*chan* gets penalized,
**[16:59] ---**
so our torture is up to her.
**[17:01] ---**
I know what I want to do.
**[17:04] ---**
I've written something on a note for everyone.
**[17:08] ---**
Don't look at anyone else's notes, okay?
**[17:13] ---**
Will you do that for me?
**[17:16] ---**
Sure, you got it.
**[17:20] ---**
I'm in, too.
**[17:21] ---**
Yeah! I've got the perfect thing for this!
**[17:25] ---**
"Go shopping with me"
**[17:28] ---**
What's this all about?
**[17:30] ---**
You're going to come
shopping with me, Satoko!
**[17:36] ---**
What kind of penalty is this?
It's no different than our usual shopping trip.
**[17:42] ---**
It's much more luxurious than usual!
**[17:45] ---**
I suppose we *did* buy more than we typically do.
**[17:49] ---**
What did you write on the notes
you gave to everyone?
**[17:53] ---**
I can't tell you just yet!
**[17:58] ---**
You're so cruel.
**[18:06] ---**
Thanks to you, Satoko, I now realize
just how happy I really am.
**[18:11] ---**
I want to make you even happier
when you're with me, Satoko.
**[18:20] ---**
So I asked everyone to help!
**[18:30] ---**
Huh?
**[18:31] ---**
Happy birthday, Satoko!
**[18:35] ---**
Happy birthday, Satoko!
**[18:37] ---**
Satoko-*chan*, happy birthday!
**[18:40] ---**
Yeah! Here's to many more.
**[18:43] ---**
Ah...
**[18:45] ---**
Rika-*chan* put all of this together for you!
**[18:48] ---**
Here, look!
**[18:52] ---**
"Get Satoko a great present for her birthday"
**[18:55] ---**
Huh?
**[18:59] ---**
I'm very thankful for all of this, truly, but...
**[19:04] ---**
I know this day is really hard for you, Satoko.
**[19:09] ---**
Big Brudder...
**[19:11] ---**
Still, I wanted everyone
to celebrate with you.
**[19:15] ---**
I've never heard you say
anything so pompous, Rika.
**[19:22] ---**
A birthday spent celebrating with friends...
**[19:26] ---**
Why wouldn't I be happy?
**[19:29] ---**
Okay, here's a present from me!
**[19:32] ---**
My, my, whatever could it be?
**[19:36] ---**
"Everything you could ever
know about veggies!!"
"Vegetable Encyclopedia"
**[19:39] ---**
An encyclopedia?
**[19:41] ---**
Now, you'll know the difference
between broccoli and cauliflower!
**[19:47] ---**
How terribly rude! I already
know everything, including that!
**[19:52] ---**
Okay, this one's from me!
**[19:55] ---**
This is... quite unique.
**[20:00] ---**
It's soooo kyute!
**[20:02] ---**
--I wanna take *both* of you home!
**[20:05] ---**
--What's the point of a present
if you're just gonna take it back?
--I wanna take *both* of you home!
**[20:07] ---**
What'd you get her, Mion?
**[20:10] ---**
Me? Well, I couldn't think of anything
that'd really blow her mind, but...
**[20:17] ---**
Let me know if you need more, mmkay?
**[20:20] ---**
Mion-*san*, Rena-*san*, Keiichi-*san*,
thank you all so very much.
**[20:24] ---**
These gifts are wonderful!
**[20:27] ---**
I'm gonna make the greatest feast
you've ever seen!
**[20:31] ---**
And I want all of you
to come and enjoy it with us!
**[20:35] ---**
So that's why we went shopping!
Thank you, Rika.
**[20:39] ---**
I have another present here for you, too.
**[20:42] ---**
Goodness, another present?
**[20:46] ---**
This was the most I could afford,
but I hope you like it.
**[20:49] ---**
My, whatever could it be?
**[20:59] ---**
Huh?
**[21:00] ---**
Satoko-*chan*?
**[21:06] ---**
How did you know?
**[21:14] ---**
Please! A trap master like me
can spot a trap a mile away!
**[21:34] ---**
Up until last night, it *was* a trap,
just as you thought.
**[21:38] ---**
But not anymore.
**[21:41] ---**
It's almost like someone *else*
is rolling the dice!
**[21:47] ---**
I changed it to something that
would make you happy instead.
**[21:50] ---**
...it can kill one who lives in loops.
**[21:55] ---**
I'll ask again.
**[21:58] ---**
How did you know?
**[22:19] ---**
*Wind gently flowing through my hair,
time flowing endlessly*
**[22:24] ---**
*A one-way ticket to the future*
**[22:28] ---**
*Dejection and disillusion,
indignation and exhaustion*
**[22:33] ---**
*Carefully coordinated reasoning*
**[22:37] ---**
*This God Syndrome,
a string connecting love and lives*
**[22:47] ---**
*It's not some exaggerated, grand ideal*
**[22:56] ---**
*I want to believe in you,
so I won't falter*
**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said
that day are silent*
**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*

**[00:17] ---**
Y-You missed.
**[00:20] ---**
N-No... How could I miss at this distance?!
**[00:29] ---**
--Stop!
--Stop resisting!
**[00:31] ---**
No! Don't step on it! Don't you dare!
**[00:34] ---**
Major Takano...
**[00:37] ---**
...you're under arrest.
**[00:39] ---**
So you're going to blame me
for all of this, huh?
**[00:57] ---**
On your feet!
Place your hands behind your back!
**[01:00] ---**
No! No! Please, let me go!
**[01:03] ---**
I need my grandfather's
scrapbook! I need it!
**[01:06] ---**
Hey! Stop resisting!
**[01:08] ---**
No! Please!
**[01:10] ---**
Freeze!
**[01:12] ---**
Stop!
**[01:14] ---**
I'm First Lieutenant Tomitake
from the research division.
**[01:16] ---**
I'll take her from here.
**[01:17] ---**
B-But, sir, HQ has ordered us
to take her back to Tokyo immediately.
**[01:22] ---**
Have you not seen the state she's in?!
**[01:25] ---**
She's obviously been
scratching herself all over!
**[01:28] ---**
She's displaying symptoms symbolic of
the final stages of Hinamizawa Syndrome!
**[01:35] ---**
B-But, sir, Major Takano should be
protected by the preventative serum!
**[01:39] ---**
She couldn't have contracted the syndrome!
**[01:41] ---**
Did you read the documentation?!
**[01:44] ---**
The preventative serum
isn't 100% effective!
**[01:50] ---**
We won't be able to interrogate her
unless she receives treatment ASAP!
**[01:56] ---**
We must determine if she was of sound health
when she made these decisions
**[02:00] ---**
or if someone took advantage of
the delusional state caused by the Syndrome!
**[02:03] ---**
But to do that, she must get
medical treatment first! It's only right!
**[02:09] ---**
Jiro-*san*...
**[02:11] ---**
Take her to the Irie Clinic, on the double!
**[02:14] ---**
And call Lieutenant Colonel Irie
to have him prepare to treat her Syndrome!
**[02:29] ---**
Jiro-*san*! Jiro-*san*!
**[02:36] ---**
Sorry I'm late. I came for you.
**[02:42] ---**
You're not the villain you think you are.
**[02:46] ---**
You can start over again.
**[02:48] ---**
Live a new life as your real self.
**[02:51] ---**
As Miyoko Tanashi.
**[02:58] ---**
I can't, I can't! I've committed too many sins!
**[03:05] ---**
I can't start over! It's not right!
**[03:08] ---**
Else, the weight of my sins will crush me...
**[03:11] ---**
It's okay. I'll be there with you.
**[03:15] ---**
We'll atone for Miyo Takano's sins, *together*.
**[03:20] ---**
Do I have a right to live?
**[03:23] ---**
Do you think someone like me
should be allowed to live on?
**[03:27] ---**
The world may never forgive you
for what you've done,
**[03:31] ---**
but that doesn't matter.
**[03:33] ---**
I forgive you.
**[03:35] ---**
So live on, atone for your sins,
and start anew!
**[03:47] ---**
This miracle is more than enough for me.
**[03:51] ---**
You've suffered so much to get here.
**[03:54] ---**
I can't imagine this is nearly enough
to make up for that.
**[04:00] ---**
Hey, isn't it almost time
for the festival to start?
**[04:03] ---**
Yeah! I can't wait!
**[04:05] ---**
And we've gotta make sure our
favorite rookie gets *lots* of action.
**[04:12] ---**
I'm sure you'll face many, many
penalties! Poor, poor Hanyuu!
**[04:17] ---**
I won't be just watching this time!
**[04:20] ---**
That's right. You won't be watching
the festival; you'll be a part of it.
**[04:26] ---**
From here on out, no matter what happens...
**[04:28] ---**
We'll always be together, right?
**[04:31] ---**
Of course we will!
**[05:01] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[05:04] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[05:08] ---**
*The distortions in the light
growing more twisted*
**[05:11] ---**
*Logic lost to me now*
**[05:15] ---**
*I believe what you said*

*A place I long to return to*
**[05:22] ---**
*Distinct scenery*
**[05:25] ---**
*She sneered as she declared she wanted it all*
**[05:30] ---**
*I've always felt your joy*
**[05:33] ---**
*I've always felt your tears*

*No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me*
**[05:44] ---**
*The one and only answer*
**[05:47] ---**
*The door I was searching for*
**[05:51] ---**
*Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me*

"Thursday, June 7th, 1984"
**[06:19] ---**
"Friday, June 8th, 1984"
**[06:24] ---**
Rika! If you don't hurry,
we'll have to run all the way to school!
**[06:29] ---**
Coming!
**[06:34] ---**
Sorry to make you wait!
**[06:39] ---**
I'm still not used to wearing these
hand-me-down uniforms from Mion-*san*.
**[06:47] ---**
My, my, how slovenly!
You're quite the sleepyhead, aren't you, Rika?
**[06:52] ---**
Yeah, I'm still sleepy.
**[06:54] ---**
You sure have had a lot of long nights
as of late. Whatever are you doing?
**[07:00] ---**
I'm sure you'll laugh when I tell you.
So I can't tell you just yet.
**[07:04] ---**
My, it's a secret not even I can know?
**[07:06] ---**
Don't worry! I'll tell you one day.
**[07:11] ---**
Good morning, class.
**[07:14] ---**
Class rep, will you start us off?
**[07:16] ---**
Please stand!
**[07:23] ---**
Whoa! You've gotten better
at cooking again, haven'tcha, Rena?
**[07:27] ---**
Those sides are practically
sparkling with flavor!
**[07:30] ---**
Y-You really think so? Really?
**[07:33] ---**
Fried chicken, fried shrimp,
they all look so good!
**[07:36] ---**
But that hamburg steak looks
the most scrumptious of--
**[07:39] ---**
What?!
**[07:42] ---**
You mustn't let your guard down
around me, Keiichi-*san*!
**[07:45] ---**
Satoko, you little brat!
**[07:47] ---**
Don't you know to respect
your elders by now-- Hey!
**[07:50] ---**
Did I not just tell you not to
let your guard down? How truly pathetic.
**[07:56] ---**
Dammit!
**[07:57] ---**
Okay, stay calm, Keiichi Maebara.
**[08:00] ---**
You don't need to hurry. There's enough
food here to fill everyone's belly!
**[08:07] ---**
Yeah, I guess you're right, Rika-*chan*.
**[08:12] ---**
What a disappointing exchange.
**[08:14] ---**
You've grown quite dull ever since
assuming your position as class rep.
**[08:17] ---**
I'm still not used to Keiichi
being our class rep.
**[08:23] ---**
Yeah. It was Mii-*chan* for the longest time!
**[08:27] ---**
Speaking of Mion, we haven't seen her
very much since she graduated.
**[08:32] ---**
Well, her high school is just a hop,
skip, and a jump away in Okinomiya!
**[08:37] ---**
If you want to see her,
you can visit her any time you'd like!
**[08:39] ---**
Yeah, I thought about visiting,
**[08:42] ---**
but Mion being Mion,
she went and started a Game Club at school,
**[08:47] ---**
and that's been keeping her pretty busy.
**[08:54] ---**
Inevitable, but still unfortunate.
**[08:59] ---**
Our little village school
is kinda different, huh?
**[09:03] ---**
At a normal school,
you'd get separated by grade and class,
**[09:08] ---**
so your relationships with classmates
would change or even fade over time.
**[09:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:15] ---**
But I'm sure Mii-*chan*
hasn't forgotten about us!
**[09:19] ---**
Why would she?
**[09:21] ---**
The bonds we forged in our club activities
are far stronger than that!
**[09:26] ---**
And it's bigger than us now.
**[09:28] ---**
It's up to us to make sure that the club
Mion started continues to live on.
**[09:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:40] ---**
On that note...
**[09:41] ---**
As President of this illustrious club,
**[09:44] ---**
I call upon our daring
combatants to assemble!
**[09:46] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[09:48] ---**
Is it just you two today?
**[09:51] ---**
Umm, is it okay if we play, too?
**[09:55] ---**
Yeah! Of course!
**[09:57] ---**
That still makes for
a smaller group than usual.
**[10:00] ---**
Probably because Watanagashi is coming up.
**[10:02] ---**
A lot of us have to go home and watch
the house while our parents help prep.
**[10:08] ---**
Got it! Okay, then.
**[10:12] ---**
Goodness, Keiichi-*san*!
What in the world are these?!
**[10:15] ---**
Uh, cards for Concentration?
**[10:18] ---**
I figured an easier game would
be better for our younger players.
**[10:21] ---**
That was not what I meant!
Those cards are brand-new!
**[10:27] ---**
Yeah, so?
**[10:28] ---**
They don't have any nicks on them!
How can we tell which card is which?!
**[10:33] ---**
C'mon, Satoko.
**[10:34] ---**
There's no point in playing
if you're going to play dirty!
**[10:37] ---**
New Rule ♪2! No Playing Dirty!
**[10:42] ---**
Stop petting me!
**[10:45] ---**
What, you don't think you can win
without your traps, Satoko? Is that it?
**[10:50] ---**
Please! I'm no fool!
**[10:52] ---**
I'll show you how my stellar memory
has grown and matured!
**[10:59] ---**
Where's the other six...?
**[11:02] ---**
You can do it, Satoko-*chan*!
**[11:04] ---**
Okamura flipped it over just now!
**[11:08] ---**
It's over here!
**[11:15] ---**
Tomita-*kun* wins!
**[11:16] ---**
I was just lucky is all!
**[11:18] ---**
And our loser today is...
**[11:20] ---**
Poor, poor Satoko!
You couldn't even get a single pair!
**[11:24] ---**
This cannot be happening!
There must be some mistake!
**[11:29] ---**
Okay, next up is--
**[11:32] ---**
Sorry, everyone.
**[11:35] ---**
I need to go home now.
**[11:37] ---**
Huh?
**[11:38] ---**
Oh, that's right. You have to practice
for your offertory dance, right?
**[11:41] ---**
That's right. I gotta go swing
a big hoe around like "hi-ya"!
**[11:46] ---**
See you all later!
**[11:49] ---**
Man. That sucks, but have fun.
**[11:54] ---**
You could've stayed and played, Satoko.
**[11:58] ---**
Why'd you lie to them?
I know you don't have practice today.
**[12:05] ---**
I understand why you wanted to leave.
Today's activities were simply lacking.
**[12:12] ---**
You know me too well, Satoko.
**[12:16] ---**
You're right. The game today
was a little too wholesome for us.
**[12:21] ---**
Playing against you has stained
my pure soul as dark black as yours!
**[12:31] ---**
That's the Rika I know and love!
**[12:33] ---**
Everyone adores Keiichi and Rena.
**[12:39] ---**
So it only makes sense that club
would change with them at the helm.
**[12:44] ---**
I think it's a good thing that
more members of our class are joining us.
**[12:50] ---**
However...
**[12:53] ---**
Forbidding traps altogether?
That simply won't do!
**[12:57] ---**
Without a stage to perform upon,
my trapmaking skills will surely atrophy!
**[13:01] ---**
Then maybe you should hone those skills
by unleashing them on Keiichi!
**[13:05] ---**
Excellent idea!
**[13:06] ---**
I'll drop a rain of washbasins upon him!
**[13:10] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi! He'll be squashed flat!
**[13:18] ---**
Hinamizawa has changed so much
in the past year--as have we.
**[13:24] ---**
I think that's a good thing.
**[13:27] ---**
I know. It's just a bit sad to see it change.
**[13:44] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
This isn't good. In fact, it's quite alarming.
**[13:48] ---**
Huh?
**[13:49] ---**
What's alarming?
**[13:51] ---**
Why, your uniform!
**[13:53] ---**
I was of the opinion that a maid outfit
would be a much better fit for you,
**[13:57] ---**
not only for its design,
but for practicality, too!
**[14:00] ---**
But Sonozaki-*san* just couldn't understand
where I was coming from...
**[14:04] ---**
Thank goodness she didn't.
**[14:07] ---**
Irie, I believe we're here
for Satoko's checkup.
**[14:11] ---**
Right, my apologies.
**[14:14] ---**
As you know, over the past year,
**[14:17] ---**
Satoko's Hinamizawa Syndrome
has drastically improved.
**[14:23] ---**
Thanks in no small part to
your continued residency in Hinamizawa.
**[14:28] ---**
I've even gone from
three shots a day to only one.
**[14:34] ---**
You won't be needing those shots anymore.
**[14:37] ---**
--Huh?
--You mean...
**[14:40] ---**
Your test came back negative.
**[14:42] ---**
I couldn't believe it myself at first.
**[14:46] ---**
But every test came back with the same result.
**[14:51] ---**
To put it short,
**[14:53] ---**
your Hinamizawa Syndrome
has been completely cured.
**[14:56] ---**
Is that true? I'm not sick
with that disease anymore?
**[15:01] ---**
We'll do another test, just to be sure,
**[15:06] ---**
but I believe so, yes.
**[15:08] ---**
I can't believe it.
**[15:17] ---**
Rika-*san*?
**[15:19] ---**
I've got the test results back.
Everything looks good.
**[15:22] ---**
A while back, you said once someone's
syndrome progressed to a certain level,
**[15:27] ---**
while their symptoms could be suppressed,
they couldn't be cured.
**[15:33] ---**
I did, yes.
**[15:34] ---**
It could be that the root cause of
the syndrome has changed somehow.
**[15:41] ---**
I've actually seen similar improvements
in every person in the village.
**[15:46] ---**
And it all started about one year ago.
**[15:48] ---**
One year ago?
**[15:50] ---**
Do you know of anything
that might have happened?
**[15:54] ---**
I have no idea.
**[16:03] ---**
A certain someone who distrusted
humans for a thousand years
**[16:07] ---**
finally opened up, that's all.
**[16:15] ---**
We sure don't have many opportunities
for us three Heads to meet anymore.
**[16:22] ---**
People'd be worryin'
if they knew we were meetin'.
**[16:27] ---**
Then I suppose it's a good thing
it's just the three of us here.
**[16:32] ---**
Right then, little miss Rika.
What was it you wanted to discuss?
**[16:35] ---**
I want to ask you to do something for me.
**[16:39] ---**
C'mon, out with it.
**[16:42] ---**
When we attend the Watanagashi festival...
**[16:48] ---**
I see where you're coming from.
**[16:51] ---**
I'll do it.
**[16:54] ---**
It's something that needs to be done.
**[16:58] ---**
Not just for us old folk, but for
the young folks, too. They're our future.
**[17:05] ---**
You two go right ahead.
**[17:08] ---**
It won't work if it's just me and Kimiyoshi.
**[17:11] ---**
We need you to help, too, Oryo.
**[17:14] ---**
Oryo-*san*?
**[17:16] ---**
I'll say it again. You two go right ahead.
**[17:26] ---**
"Sunday, June 17th, 1984"
**[18:05] ---**
Wanna head down to the river?
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:11] ---**
The Mayor?
**[18:13] ---**
Oh my goodness, *and* Oryo-*san*?!
**[18:18] ---**
Why're the heads of
the Three Families up there?
**[18:20] ---**
--No idea...
--What's going on?
**[18:22] ---**
Could I have your attention?
**[18:25] ---**
This won't take long, I promise.
**[18:28] ---**
I'll start.
**[18:30] ---**
As you know, a few years ago,
our village rallied through a war.
**[18:35] ---**
That's right, the Dam War.
**[18:39] ---**
And we won that war!
**[18:41] ---**
But the scars from that war
still run deep in our village.
**[18:49] ---**
Despite the war being long over!
**[18:54] ---**
It pained Oyashiro-*sama* to see those scars.
**[18:59] ---**
Unless we change, those scars will leave
an irreversible stain on our village.
**[19:04] ---**
And us old folk don't want
to see that happen.
**[19:07] ---**
Oryo-*san* agrees with me, too.
**[19:12] ---**
Oryo-*san* does, too?
**[19:14] ---**
With all that in mind, I hereby declare
that as of now, the dam war is over,
**[19:18] ---**
and all ties any person or group may have
to said war are hereby expunged!
**[19:26] ---**
I'm sure you've all heard stories
about Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[19:31] ---**
How He curses those
who trespass on His Hinamizawa,
**[19:35] ---**
and those who choose to leave the village.
**[19:38] ---**
But those stories aren't true.
**[19:41] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama* watched over
our village for a long, long time,
**[19:44] ---**
and now, He's happy with us,
and has gone back to sleep.
**[19:51] ---**
Little miss Rika speaks Oyashiro-*sama*'s word.
**[19:56] ---**
This curse business ain't nothin' but poppycock!
**[20:03] ---**
There is no curse.
**[20:07] ---**
Straight from the Priestess...
**[20:09] ---**
Then it must be true.

Satoko?
**[20:43] ---**
What is it, all of the sudden?
**[20:45] ---**
I have a favor to ask you.
**[20:47] ---**
Will you come shopping with me?
**[20:51] ---**
And here I thought you needed a favor.
Shopping with you is hardly a favor!
**[20:56] ---**
Are you heading to the Sevens Mart, then?
**[20:58] ---**
Not this time.
**[21:00] ---**
I'm going into Okinomiya today.

**[00:05] ---**
A dream?
**[00:07] ---**
I'm not sure if I quite follow, Rika.
**[00:12] ---**
I've been thinking about this
for a long, long time.
**[00:15] ---**
One day, when I'm finally able
to leave the village on my own...
**[00:19] ---**
I want to experience a new way of life--
one I've never known before.
**[00:26] ---**
I want to wake up in the morning
and turn the page of the calendar,
**[00:29] ---**
wondering just how the day will unfold.
**[00:32] ---**
And when it does, my new reality
will be as I never could have imagined:
**[00:38] ---**
filled with wonder, splendor, and new surprises.
**[00:42] ---**
I want to go to a school
where I can live that life.
**[00:46] ---**
Of course, I want to go there
together with you, Satoko.
**[00:49] ---**
I want to experience high society
at a fancy school with you!
**[00:55] ---**
I certainly understand why you dream
of a fresh, new experience.
**[01:01] ---**
Our games in club *have* been
quite boring as of late.
**[01:05] ---**
Even so...
**[01:07] ---**
We have quite a while before we need
to think about high school entrance exams!
**[01:12] ---**
We've only just started middle school!
**[01:14] ---**
It's far too early to begin
worrying about those, don't you think?
**[01:19] ---**
You just don't want to study
for entrance exams, Satoko.
**[01:23] ---**
Just thinking about studying
gives you a big, big headache.
**[01:26] ---**
"Study Guides"
Just thinking about studying
gives you a big, big headache.
**[01:29] ---**
That is absolutely not the case!
**[01:32] ---**
Studying is a breeze for me when I put in
the smallest smidgeon of effort!
**[01:38] ---**
And I know for a fact that you hate
studying more than anyone!
**[01:41] ---**
You're right. I really hate studying.
**[01:47] ---**
But I was never allowed to leave Hinamizawa,
**[01:51] ---**
or say I wanted to leave.
**[01:55] ---**
Rika...
**[01:56] ---**
So though I hate studying,
I'm gonna work hard to make my dream come true.
**[02:01] ---**
And if it's possible,
I'd like you to share that dream with me.
**[02:10] ---**
Aren't you as stubborn as ever, Rika?
**[02:17] ---**
Very well! I suppose I'll join you.
**[02:21] ---**
Really?!
**[02:23] ---**
Indeed! I don't know if I'll be able
to keep up with you for long,
**[02:26] ---**
but I expect you'll throw in the towel
not long after you start, yes?
**[02:29] ---**
No way! I'm going to work hard
and pass that exam!
**[02:34] ---**
Let's crush it!
**[02:41] ---**
Face forward! Bow!
**[02:43] ---**
Goodbye, Sensei!
**[02:48] ---**
Rika, we may have club today, but would...
**[02:50] ---**
Chie.
**[02:53] ---**
What is it, Furude-*san*?
**[02:56] ---**
I need your help with something!
**[03:00] ---**
Now, this problem looks hard at first glance,
**[03:05] ---**
but if you use this formula...
**[03:07] ---**
--See? It's simple!
--Studying this hard after school is over
cannot be good for her health.
**[03:13] ---**
What's up with Rika-*chan*?
**[03:15] ---**
She's studying for entrance exams.
**[03:17] ---**
Huh? But those are a few years off, aren't they?
**[03:21] ---**
I told her just as much.
**[03:23] ---**
What school's she aiming for?
The same one Mion's going to in Okinomiya?
**[03:32] ---**
"St. Lucia Academy"
St. Lucia Academy?
**[03:36] ---**
"St. Lucia Academy"
Where have I heard that before?
**[03:39] ---**
I know! That's the one Shion went to!
**[03:42] ---**
That's right. It's a boarding school
for well-to-do young ladies.
**[03:47] ---**
Young ladies, you say!
Bet you'd fit right in there, Rika-*chan*.
**[03:52] ---**
I love the architecture! It's sooo kyute!
**[03:54] ---**
I fell in love with it
the second I saw the pictures.
**[03:58] ---**
But isn't this school for super rich families,
like the Sonozakis?
**[04:03] ---**
Irie says he'll pay for both
Satoko and I to attend.
**[04:10] ---**
Will the Coach's bank account
be okay? I hope so...
**[04:12] ---**
Wait, you're going too, Satoko?!
**[04:14] ---**
My! While I'm unsure the academy
will be a fit for a fine lady like myself,
**[04:19] ---**
I simply could not turn down
Rika's earnest request!
**[04:23] ---**
We can argue about whether or not
you're a "fine lady" later.
**[04:26] ---**
You have to score really high
on their test to get in.
**[04:30] ---**
I could get a perfect score
on that test in my sleep!
**[04:36] ---**
I want to make this dream of mine
come true, no matter what.
**[04:40] ---**
So I'm hoping it's okay to ask
the two of you to help me study.
**[04:46] ---**
We'd be glad to help!
**[04:48] ---**
Yeah! You can ask us
any questions you might run into!
**[04:52] ---**
You guys already do so much for me.
I feel bad asking for more help.
**[04:57] ---**
C'mon, don't sweat it.
**[04:59] ---**
My old school was pretty rigorous.
Now I can finally put that experience to work!
**[05:04] ---**
Thank you!
**[05:06] ---**
We're gonna train your brain, too, Satoko!
**[05:09] ---**
N-Now, take it easy on *me*, if you please!
**[05:12] ---**
Okay! Then for today's game,
let's play endless English word chain!
**[05:17] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:18] ---**
Let's do it!
**[05:20] ---**
Okay, let's get started!
**[05:23] ---**
I'm sure her sudden passion
for studying will not last long.
**[05:42] ---**
Rika?
**[05:53] ---**
Are you in the restroom?
**[06:15] ---**
Rika?
**[06:17] ---**
Satoko?
**[06:19] ---**
So this is why you haven't been sleeping well.
**[06:25] ---**
Whyever would you hide this from me?
**[06:28] ---**
We're hoping to attend
the same school, are we not?
**[06:33] ---**
You're a formidable rival when
you start to get serious, Satoko!
**[06:39] ---**
You know I'll do anything
to win any game or challenge!

There's no need for us to rush.
**[08:34] ---**
I can't wait to find out!
**[08:36] ---**
Hey! Rika!
**[09:02] ---**
We're finally here.
**[09:04] ---**
Did you bring your shrine charm with you?
**[09:07] ---**
The results have already been posted.
The charm would be of no use.
**[09:13] ---**
I know, but still...
**[09:17] ---**
We've given it our all for two and a half years.
**[09:20] ---**

I know.

What if... and this is only hypothetical!

What if I'm the only one who didn't get in?
**[10:20] ---**

to go our separate ways.

let you show me up like this.

Good morning, Ri--
**[13:45] ---**
Take your seats.
**[13:47] ---**
No personal conversation after the bell.
**[14:24] ---**
Rika Furude-*san*,
please lead us in ending the class.
**[14:40] ---**
Please stand.
**[14:42] ---**
Bow.
**[14:44] ---**
Thank you very much, ma'am.
**[14:50] ---**
Who knew class could be this exhausting?
**[14:59] ---**
Rika-*san*, correct? You're so beautiful!
**[15:03] ---**
If it's not any trouble, would you mind
joining us in the parlor for tea?
**[15:07] ---**
The parlor?
**[15:08] ---**
I'm sure the older students would
welcome you with open arms, Rika-*san*!
**[15:12] ---**
Think of it as practice for when
you enter high society. Will you join us?
**[15:20] ---**
Go right ahead. I'm sure it will
make for a great experience.
**[15:26] ---**
You're s--
**[15:28] ---**
Are you quite sure?
**[15:30] ---**
Extremely sure! Come, let's be off!
**[15:36] ---**
You should come, too, Satoko.
**[15:38] ---**
Thank you for the invite, but I have
no interest in such stuffy, formal affairs.
**[15:44] ---**
Satoko...
**[15:45] ---**
If you're interested, I'd love for you
to join us in a rousing debate!
**[15:54] ---**
She's living her dream.
**[15:57] ---**
I should let her do as she pleases.
**[15:59] ---**
That, and I'm sure she'll soon tire
of this fanciful, overblown world.

We're led to believe that no matter
how fiercely we struggle and resist,

we cannot change the result
on the die that are cast.

That is my definition of "fate."
**[16:32] ---**

your outlook on the world at large!

absolutely unrivaled, Rika-*san*!

Oh, nothing.

Starting tomorrow, you must attend
study hall after school.
**[17:23] ---**
I need to study even *harder*?
**[17:27] ---**
You already know why I'm telling you this, yes?
**[17:30] ---**
Your grades have dropped dramatically
since the first day of school.
**[17:34] ---**
If they don't improve soon...
**[17:37] ---**
I studied so hard to get here!
I worked myself to death!
**[17:41] ---**
Yet it still isn't enough?!
I still need to work even harder?!
**[17:45] ---**
You're missing my point.
Nobody will force you to attend study hall.
**[17:50] ---**
So I don't need to go after all, then?
**[17:53] ---**
That's right.
**[17:54] ---**
Then I simply won't! I hate study--
**[17:59] ---**
You'll just need to come to the faculty office
**[18:01] ---**
and submit your formal withdrawal
from the Academy.
**[18:04] ---**
What? Withdrawal?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes, you can leave this institution.
The choice is yours.
**[18:31] ---**
Satoko?
**[18:33] ---**
What is it?
**[18:37] ---**
If you're having trouble with your studies,
I'd be happy to help...
**[18:50] ---**
My, don't belittle me so, Rika!
**[18:53] ---**
You're not the only one
who's become quite busy after school!
**[18:57] ---**
Please, make no assumptions!
**[19:01] ---**
What an unbecoming laugh.
**[19:03] ---**
I can't believe a girl like that
was considered fit to attend our Academy.
**[19:08] ---**
Come, now, let us retire to the parlor!

Most of the girls here got

Huh?
**[20:26] ---**
Prestige matters more
than anything to the Academy,

so if you can't measure up, they won't
allow you the honor of graduating.
**[20:35] ---**
Plus, a lot of girls here are from
well-to-do families, so they can't drop out.
**[20:40] ---**
Not like we can either, with our parents
paying this expensive tuition.

then kiss goodbye to the free time
you have in the Regular Class.

Tell me, Rika.

Do you remember what you said to me?

You said you wanted to experience

That manner of address is unfit
for a lady of Rika-*san*'s stature.

Pardon me, ladies,
but I'm talking to Rika right now.
**[00:57] ---**
Kindly get lost for me, now.

I know we haven't had many
chances to talk lately, Satoko.

I'll make some time for you this afternoon.

Hey, Rika?

Could you please stop with
this ridiculous façade already?!

I worked to get into this school...

...and make your dream come true?!

**[01:48] ---**
This isn't the Hinamizawa Village School.
**[01:51] ---**
This is St. Lucia. It would behoove
you to start acting like it.
**[01:56] ---**
You're starting to sound
like that stuffy old principal.
**[02:00] ---**
I'm telling you this for your own good.
**[02:02] ---**
Whatever.
**[02:12] ---**
I cannot believe she'd
speak to Rika-*san* like that!
**[02:15] ---**
I understand having been friends before,
**[02:17] ---**
but a student of this fine academy
simply cannot behave like that!
**[02:21] ---**
Don't speak ill of Satoko.
**[02:25] ---**
But--
**[02:26] ---**
She's saved my life hundreds of times.
**[02:29] ---**
Sometimes, when I was in trouble,
she'd spring the perfect trap to help me.
**[02:34] ---**
A trap, you said?
**[02:35] ---**
Yes. Satoko excels at
setting traps and pulling pranks.
**[02:39] ---**
To be honest, she's far better than me
at most everything.
**[02:47] ---**
She's struggling to adapt to the school's
traditions and rigorous curriculum.
**[02:54] ---**
It's just a foul mood, that's all.
**[02:57] ---**
So please, don't badmouth her.
**[03:50] ---**
I'm fed up with all this.
**[04:25] ---**
I know why you're acting this way, Rika.
**[04:28] ---**
You grew up out in the countryside.
**[04:31] ---**
The sudden transition
to this gaudy, fanciful place
**[04:33] ---**
has entranced you for
a brief moment, that's all.
**[04:37] ---**
Why, during club activities, you'd passionately
participate in fun tomfoolery with us all.
**[04:43] ---**
I'm sure if you can just remember
the fun you left behind in Hinamizawa,
**[04:48] ---**
you'll go right back to
being the Rika I know and love.
**[05:03] ---**
Rika-*sama*! Good tidings to you!
**[05:05] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[05:06] ---**
Good tidings to you, Rika-*sama*.
**[05:09] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[05:11] ---**
Oh, Rika...
**[05:12] ---**
You may have forgotten about your
true nature, but this will wake you right up!
**[05:26] ---**
How does it feel to fall victim to one
of my traps after such a long reprieve?!
**[05:31] ---**
Are you all right?
**[05:32] ---**
Huh?
**[05:35] ---**
Who did this?! Who pulled this childish prank?!
**[05:38] ---**
Straight to the infirmary with you.
**[05:40] ---**
The rest of you, head to class!
**[05:44] ---**
No... I didn't mean to hurt anyone...
**[06:08] ---**
"Infirmary"
**[06:09] ---**
"Infirmary"
I am simply appalled.
**[06:11] ---**
I am simply appalled.
**[06:11] ---**
Never has anything like this happened
in the history of our fine academy.
**[06:14] ---**
Do you have any idea who
might have done this to you?
**[06:19] ---**
No, ma'am.
**[06:22] ---**
Is that so?
**[06:24] ---**
Very well. Come back to class
when you're done here.
**[06:33] ---**
Sensei!
**[06:37] ---**
Yes?
**[06:39] ---**
I, uh...
**[06:42] ---**
I think I might know who did it, ma'am!
**[06:51] ---**
Hojo-*san*.
**[06:55] ---**
Come with me.
**[07:08] ---**
You're going to sit there and
reflect on your actions for a good while.
**[07:15] ---**
Why do you think it was me?
**[07:17] ---**
Another student told me you're
quite skilled at these unsightly pranks.
**[07:23] ---**
Huh?
**[07:26] ---**
We also have security camera footage
of you sneaking out of the dorm last night.
**[07:32] ---**
What do you have to say for yourself?
**[07:39] ---**
You will stay here until you've
thought long and hard about your actions.
**[07:45] ---**
Wait!
**[07:47] ---**
You'd be wise to start now,
so you can return to class all the sooner.
**[07:50] ---**
No! *No*!
**[07:52] ---**
Let me out of here, right now! Open this door!
**[07:58] ---**
No, please...
**[08:01] ---**
Why...
**[08:04] ---**
Why?!
**[08:10] ---**
Why didn't I...?
**[08:12] ---**
And if it's possible, I'd like you
to share that dream with me.
**[08:18] ---**
Aren't you as stubborn as ever, Rika.
**[08:22] ---**
Why I didn't say no?
**[08:25] ---**
Why didn't I tell her no?!
**[08:27] ---**
Very well! I suppose I'll join you.
**[08:33] ---**
Why did I do that?!
**[08:36] ---**
I hate this, I hate this, I hate this *so much*!
**[08:39] ---**
Let me do it over! Let me do it all over!
**[08:42] ---**
Let me go back to when it all went wrong!
**[08:50] ---**
"*Rashomon* by Akutagawa"

"Math Workbook"
**[09:27] ---**
Finally.
**[09:48] ---**
You'll be moved to the Special Class
for your second year here.
**[09:55] ---**
With good grades, you can earn
your way back into the Regular Class.
**[10:00] ---**
Focus on your studies.
**[10:03] ---**
You must be joking.
**[10:06] ---**
I know you can return to the
Regular Class if you put in the effort.
**[10:12] ---**
You don't believe that, not for a second.

But I hope you still have that game club
spirit where you'd do anything to win!
**[11:12] ---**
But I hope you still have that game club
spirit where you'd do anything to win!
**[11:16] ---**
Now, fateful challengers, return to Hinamizawa!
**[11:18] ---**
The time has come to bathe in
your fellow contenders' blood!
**[11:25] ---**
For that reason, I've come here to pick you up!
**[11:27] ---**
You two ready for a showdown?
**[11:30] ---**
We got permission to travel off campus.
**[11:34] ---**
Perfect! Now, then, we're off!
To the battlefield!
**[11:41] ---**
Man, you guys got so big!
Gonna give this old fart a heart attack here.
**[11:46] ---**
I bet Rika-*chan*'s the center of attention.
**[11:50] ---**
You've also grown a lot since we last met, Mion.
**[11:55] ---**
I'm sure you're the
center of Keiichi's attention.
**[11:59] ---**
That's the Rika-*chan* I remember.
**[12:01] ---**
I'm glad you haven't changed
too much since way back when.
**[12:06] ---**
I might be a fine lady now, but I'm still me!
**[12:09] ---**
You're in college now, right, Mion-*san*?
**[12:12] ---**
You're going to the same university
as Keiichi-*san* and Rena-*san*, yes?
**[12:15] ---**
That's right, Gogura University.
**[12:18] ---**
Soon as they got there, they joined my
Game Club to be my new favorite rookies!
**[12:23] ---**
I can imagine the kind of
antics they're getting up to.
**[12:26] ---**
It'll be better with you two joining us.
Hurry up and graduate, yeah?
**[12:30] ---**
Getting into Gokura U's
a breeze coming out of St. Lucia.
**[12:35] ---**
Speaking of the others,
where are we meeting them today?
**[12:39] ---**
I also haven't asked about our plans for today.
**[12:43] ---**
Huh? I thought I put it in the letter.
**[12:46] ---**
If all four of us legendary
founders are reuniting...
**[12:50] ---**
You know what we're going to do...
**[12:54] ---**
...and where, too!
**[13:01] ---**
Hinamizawa...
**[13:04] ---**
I can't wait to be back.
**[13:06] ---**
I'm really excited, too!
**[13:18] ---**
Hey, Satoko! Rika-*chan*!
**[13:21] ---**
It's so great to see you again!
That must have been a long ride.
**[13:24] ---**
"Hinamizawa Village School"
It certainly was! I'm exhausted.
**[13:28] ---**
"Hinamizawa Village School"
All you did was sit in a car.
**[13:31] ---**
All you did was sit in a car.
**[13:31] ---**
My, and *you* were snoring and
drooling all over yourself in your sleep!
**[13:38] ---**
Rena, Satoko's being a big bully!
**[13:44] ---**
Oh, even when you're crying
or drooling all over yourself,
**[13:47] ---**
you're *so kyute*, Rika-*chan*!
**[13:55] ---**
You're as strong as ever, I see.
**[13:58] ---**
Why'd you hit me, too?
**[14:00] ---**
Okay, let's get moving!
**[14:15] ---**
Without further ado, let's start
the day's activities! Any objecions?
**[14:19] ---**
No, ma'am!
**[14:21] ---**
We're gonna use every
last bit of time we've got!
**[14:24] ---**
I wouldn't have it any
other way! What's up first?
**[14:27] ---**
Let's see...
**[14:32] ---**
Ooh, it's still here!
**[14:36] ---**
We can't have club without *these*!
**[14:39] ---**
A-Are those...?!
**[14:40] ---**
Don't tell me you've forgotten...
**[14:45] ---**
That fold! It's gotta be...
**[14:47] ---**
The six of spades!
**[14:50] ---**
That's right. I'm glad you guys
still haven't lost your touch!
**[14:54] ---**
Our first game is Tycoon! Same rules as always!
**[14:59] ---**
Can't think of a better way to start
than a card game with that old deck!
**[15:02] ---**
Wait, are we allowed to use dirty tactics?
**[15:05] ---**
Club Rule Number Two!
**[15:07] ---**
Always strive for victory
with everything you've got!
**[15:11] ---**
Cheating, traps, dirty tactics,
everything is allowed!
**[15:13] ---**
How else would us five get through a game?
**[15:23] ---**
Excellent! A game is not truly
interesting without such tactics!
**[15:27] ---**
We're gonna have penalties, too, of course!
**[15:30] ---**
How will those work?
**[15:34] ---**
We'll do it like we did back then.
**[15:37] ---**
Everyone writes a penalty down,
then whoever loses picks one out of a hat.
**[15:43] ---**
I'll put down something horrific,
then do all I can to make Keiichi lose!
**[15:46] ---**
Well, I'll just have to do that to *you*, then!
**[15:49] ---**
I can't wait to see what happens!
**[15:53] ---**
Okay, let's do this!
**[15:59] ---**
And with that, I'm out.
**[16:03] ---**
That means I lose!
**[16:09] ---**
"Pretend you're a maid"?
**[16:12] ---**
Huh?! How should I do that, Master?!
**[16:17] ---**
I think that's more than good enough!
**[16:21] ---**
I'm not losing again!
**[16:23] ---**
Yay! I'm out!
**[16:26] ---**
My luck was simply catastrophic this round!
**[16:31] ---**
"Pretend you're our baby sister"?
**[16:34] ---**
What a boring penalty... big brother!
**[16:37] ---**
"Change into a school swimsuit"!?
**[16:40] ---**
Dammit, Kei-*chan* was supposed to get this one!
**[16:46] ---**
Keep it up, Rika-*chan*!
We've gotta make Kei-*chan* lose!
**[16:58] ---**
Yes! I win again! Sorry, Rika-*chan*!
**[17:03] ---**
I lose.
**[17:17] ---**
You're so kyute! I wanna take you home!
**[17:22] ---**
Please avenge me, Rena!
**[17:25] ---**
I'll do my best!
**[17:28] ---**
I can't believe it...
You're going to use Rena against me?!
**[17:32] ---**
How do you like *this*?!
**[17:35] ---**
Revolution!
**[17:37] ---**
--No!
**[17:38] ---**
--Counter Revolution, Master!
--No!
**[17:39] ---**
--Counter Revolution, Master!
**[17:42] ---**
This can't be the end...
**[17:44] ---**
I'm out!
**[17:46] ---**
I'm out.
**[17:47] ---**
Yay, I'm out!
**[17:49] ---**
I'm out as well!
**[17:52] ---**
I lost!
**[17:55] ---**
I can't believe my winning
streak is ending like this...
**[18:01] ---**
I think I know the answer to this,
**[18:03] ---**
but did you guys all write in the
same penalties from way back when?
**[18:06] ---**
Oh, you're right.
**[18:08] ---**
I certainly did.
**[18:09] ---**
I've got a bad feeling about this...
**[18:13] ---**
"Every penalty that's been handed out today"?!
**[18:16] ---**
What the hell?!
**[18:18] ---**
C'mon, no way!
Where am I gonna find a swimsuit?!
**[18:21] ---**
Just use this one! I don't mind.
**[18:26] ---**
You can use my cat ears, too!
**[18:35] ---**
No running, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[18:36] ---**
You're not getting out of this, big brother!
**[18:43] ---**
Nice one, Satoko!
**[18:45] ---**
Did you expect anything less?
**[18:47] ---**
Be a good boy now, Keiichi, okay?
**[18:50] ---**
P-Please forgive me, Mistress!
**[19:00] ---**
Man, seeing Kei-*chan* in that outfit
was the cherry on top of my day.
**[19:04] ---**
At least *someone* was having fun.
**[19:06] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[19:08] ---**
It's okay! You were... really cute, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[19:13] ---**
Hard to believe that when you're laughing.
**[19:15] ---**
Sorry!
**[19:16] ---**
It was so much fun playing games together again.
**[19:22] ---**
For real.
**[19:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:25] ---**
It sure was.
**[19:28] ---**
Mion-*san*, what are we going to do now?
**[19:32] ---**
We're gonna go back to Okinomiya
and have dinner at Angel Mort.
**[19:36] ---**
Shion'll be there, too.
**[19:37] ---**
Ooh, nice. Your treat, right, Mion?
**[19:40] ---**
Twist my arm, why don'tcha?
**[19:42] ---**
I *did* get to see you in
that outfit earlier, though.
**[19:45] ---**
Fine. My treat!
**[19:46] ---**
Yay!
**[19:49] ---**
If we're all good with that, then get on in!
**[19:52] ---**
We'll be leaving Hinamizawa again...
**[19:56] ---**
What's up, Satoko?
**[19:58] ---**
I'd like to take a walk around
Hinamizawa, if that's all right.
**[20:02] ---**
Huh? Sure, then we'll come with.
**[20:06] ---**
Thank you for the offer,
but I think I'd like to do so alone!
**[20:10] ---**
Well, when you're done, call Angel Mort.
I'll come pick you up.
**[20:15] ---**
Sounds great.
**[20:16] ---**
Stay safe!
**[20:19] ---**
I'll see you at the restaurant.
**[20:21] ---**
Yes. I'll see you there.
**[20:45] ---**
Hear they're finally gonna be
demolishin' the old schoolhouse.
**[20:49] ---**
It's been there since the Forest Service
owned it, eh? A real long time, now.
**[21:31] ---**
My, is that you, Satoko-*chan*?
**[21:34] ---**
Excuse me, what happened to
the building that once stood here?
**[21:37] ---**
Oh, it collapsed in on itself
during the big snowstorm last year.
**[21:41] ---**
It was pretty run-down since
nobody was livin' there anymore.
**[22:12] ---**
I know this place...
**[22:15] ---**
A long time ago, I climbed
up the roof and snuck inside.
**[22:21] ---**
I wonder if Oyashiro-*sama*
is still angry at me for that.
**[22:31] ---**
What's that sound?
**[22:46] ---**
Is it coming from in here?
**[22:52] ---**
What is this?
**[23:30] ---**
It has been far too long since our last meeting,
**[23:34] ---**
child of man.

**[00:04] ---**
It has been far too long since
our last meeting, child of man.
**[00:08] ---**
T'was in the world with the red sea, yes?
**[00:11] ---**
I must applaud you for your bold efforts
to arrive before me once more.
**[00:16] ---**
Huh? Wha...
**[00:18] ---**
Why the nonplussed expression, Vier?
**[00:23] ---**
Ah, or was it Mitsuyo?
**[00:26] ---**
Whoever are you talking about?
**[00:28] ---**
Perhaps the name *Anomalous Spinal Cord
Specimen LD3105* is more befitting?
**[00:38] ---**
I have no idea what you're
talking about! Who *are* you?!
**[00:43] ---**
My, my...
**[00:46] ---**
Not only that, *where* am I?!
**[00:50] ---**
I'm not inside the storehouse anymore, am I?
**[00:55] ---**
How truly pitiful. Indeed, sad, even.
**[00:59] ---**
Hundreds of millions of loops
spent in pursuit of this meeting,
**[01:05] ---**
yet in your moment of triumph,
you've forgotten who I am entirely.
**[01:11] ---**
I've never met you before in my life!
**[01:15] ---**
Those who hold dominion over us
are truly cold of heart.
**[01:21] ---**
I digress. By your countenance,
it seems you have an unrequited wish.
**[01:26] ---**
And your longing for said wish
has whittled away at your well-being.
**[01:33] ---**
I can hear your soul crying out in anguish.
**[01:36] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[01:38] ---**
You cannot fulfill your desires
as a child of man,
**[01:41] ---**
but you *could*, if only you were
granted the power I possess.
**[01:46] ---**
Huh?
**[01:47] ---**
With this power, your wish becomes reality.
**[01:50] ---**
You will be able to travel to
the idyllic world for which you desire so.
**[01:56] ---**
Though only after a very long time, undoubtedly.
**[02:00] ---**
There's no way that's possible!
**[02:03] ---**
And if it is, then make it happen,
right this instant!
**[02:08] ---**
Very well!
**[02:11] ---**
I will grant you my power!
**[02:16] ---**
You will become one who lives in loops,
**[02:20] ---**
repeating through endless spirals of time
until your wish is fulfilled.
**[02:24] ---**
What do you mean, live in loops?
I don't understand!
**[02:27] ---**
To reset your world from the beginning,
all you must do is die.
**[02:33] ---**
Huh? Die?!
**[02:35] ---**
Did you just say I have to die?!
**[02:39] ---**
Fret not, child. My power is not imperfect,
like that wielded by the cat.
**[02:46] ---**
You will not lose any of your memory
upon beginning a new loop.
**[02:51] ---**
I don't get it! I don't understand
a single word of this!
**[02:53] ---**
Of course, this power does not
come without cost.
**[02:58] ---**
But worry not about the cost you must pay.
**[03:02] ---**
If your actions taken while living
through loops are deemed entertaining,
**[03:10] ---**
then that is payment enough for my gift.
**[03:13] ---**
I still have no idea what you're talking about!
**[03:17] ---**
Please, release me from this place!
**[03:21] ---**
It seems the show has already begun.
You do please me so, child of man.
**[03:35] ---**
Wait, isn't this...?
**[03:38] ---**
What's going on?
**[03:41] ---**
I thought this house collapsed
during a snowstorm.
**[03:46] ---**
"Friday, June 10, 1983"
**[03:48] ---**
"Friday, June 10, 1983"

**[03:50] ---**
1983?! That's five years ago...
**[03:53] ---**
Why?
**[04:03] ---**
This can't be happening... can it?
**[04:25] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[04:28] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[04:32] ---**
*The distortions in the light
growing more twisted*
**[04:35] ---**
*Logic lost to me now*
**[04:39] ---**
*I believe what you said*
**[04:42] ---**
*A place I long to return to*
**[04:46] ---**

**[05:38] ---**
No, that simply couldn't have happened.
Me, living through loops?
**[05:44] ---**
That's preposterous.
No more than fantasy, I'm sure of it!
**[05:50] ---**
It must have all been one very strange dream!
**[05:53] ---**
It's still 1983, as I can see!
**[05:57] ---**
A terribly, terribly long dream to be sure,
but that's the only explanation.
**[06:04] ---**
After all, that couldn't have
happened in reality.
**[06:08] ---**
Rika, wanting to desperately
leave Hinamizawa?
**[06:12] ---**
Then treating me like *that*?
**[06:16] ---**
It *must* have been a dream!
It *couldn't* have been real!
**[06:22] ---**
Too bad, so sad, Satoko!
**[06:25] ---**
I woke up early and pulled
the page off the calendar.
**[06:30] ---**
I know you like to do that,
but I beat you to the punch today!
**[06:38] ---**
Satoko?
**[06:40] ---**
Are you angry at me?
I didn't mean to upset you.
**[06:45] ---**
I just wanted to tease you a little.
**[06:50] ---**
S-Satoko?!
**[06:54] ---**
Wh-What's wrong? You're acting weird.
**[06:58] ---**
Nothing's wrong.
**[07:00] ---**
It was all a terrible dream.
None of that would *ever* happen!
**[07:07] ---**
I don't know what you're talking about, but...
**[07:10] ---**
Poor, poor Satoko.
**[07:13] ---**
Rika!
**[07:16] ---**
Jiro-*san*! Jiro-*san*!
**[07:24] ---**
Sorry I'm late. I came for you.
**[07:31] ---**
"Monday, June 18, 1984"
**[07:39] ---**
Satoko?
**[07:41] ---**
What is it, all of the sudden?
**[07:43] ---**
I have a favor to ask you.
**[07:48] ---**
Will you come shopping with me?
**[07:52] ---**
I need to go to a store in Okinomiya,
and I really want you to come with me.
**[07:59] ---**
"Mandai Books"
**[08:00] ---**
"Mandai Books" We're here.
**[08:05] ---**
"Mandai Books" I knew it.
**[08:11] ---**
"Study Guides"
There's something I've secretly dreamed
of doing for a long, long time.
**[08:16] ---**
And I want to make that dream
come true with you, Satoko.
**[08:20] ---**
You want to get into St. Lucia Academy.
That's your dream, yes?
**[08:24] ---**
Yes, that's right!
**[08:27] ---**
One day, when I'm finally able to leave
the village on my own...
**[08:31] ---**
"St. Lucia Academy Entrance Exam
Problems & Solutions"
I want to experience a new way of life,
one I've never known before.
**[08:38] ---**
Of course, I want to go there
together with you, Satoko.
**[08:42] ---**
I want to experience high society
at a fancy school with you!
**[08:50] ---**
"Study Guides"
**[08:51] ---**
"Study Guides" Look, Rika...
**[08:53] ---**
It's far too early to begin worrying
about entrance exams, don't you think?
**[08:57] ---**
I don't think it's too early.
**[08:59] ---**
We've only just gotten rid of
those horrible Mountain Dogs
**[09:02] ---**
and returned peace to our sleepy village!
**[09:05] ---**
It'd be foolish to let that go to waste
without truly enjoying it!
**[09:09] ---**
I know. Having fun with you and the others
is much better than studying.
**[09:15] ---**
Then why not let things stay like this?
**[09:18] ---**
True, our games in club have grown a bit boring,
**[09:21] ---**
but with a little work, we can bring back
those blood-pumping games from before!
**[09:28] ---**
That sounds wonderful.
**[09:31] ---**
I knew you'd understand!
**[09:33] ---**
What more could you possibly ask for?
**[09:38] ---**
What is it?
**[09:40] ---**
I've been waiting for this moment
for a long, long time.
**[09:43] ---**
I've longed for it for longer
than you could possibly imagine, Satoko.
**[09:49] ---**
And I've finally found a world where
I can leave Hinamizawa by my own will.
**[09:57] ---**
I could never even *dream*
of doing that before.
**[10:02] ---**
I love you, Satoko, and everyone in club, too.
**[10:05] ---**
But what's so wrong about dreaming
of a life I've yet to experience?
**[10:11] ---**
If you won't come with me
to make my dream come true...
**[10:16] ---**
Rika?
**[10:18] ---**
It's okay. I'll study for the exam by myself.
**[10:26] ---**
Hello.
**[10:29] ---**
That's a low blow, Rika.
**[10:41] ---**
I knew you'd join me!
**[10:43] ---**
Might as well make the most
of the trip out to Okinomiya.
**[10:46] ---**
And purchasing this book doesn't mean
I've agreed to join you!
**[10:50] ---**
I'm still really happy you did.
**[11:00] ---**
"St. Lucia Academy Entrance Exam
Problems & Solutions"
If Rika's not going to give up...
**[11:03] ---**
Then I just need to make sure
she doesn't have time to study.
**[11:10] ---**
Please stand! Face forward!
**[11:13] ---**
Bow!
**[11:14] ---**
Goodbye, Sensei!
**[11:20] ---**
Chie--
**[11:24] ---**
Come now, Rika! It's time for club!
**[11:27] ---**
Please move, Satoko.
I need to ask Chie a question.
**[11:33] ---**
Today, we're playing *my* game!
Endless Fractal Baseball!
**[11:37] ---**
Our never-ending stream of base runners
will leave you in the dust, Rika!
**[11:43] ---**
Satoko, I'm not going to club anymore.
**[11:45] ---**
Come on! *All* of our classmates
are going to participate today!
**[11:51] ---**
And look at the great weather outside!
You simply can't let it go to waste!
**[11:56] ---**
Hey, Satoko!
**[11:57] ---**
You can always study when you get home,
**[12:00] ---**
but if you miss playing with everyone now,
you'll never get to do it again!
**[12:04] ---**
I know.
**[12:07] ---**
What's wrong, Rika-*chan*?
**[12:09] ---**
We're all heading outside!
**[12:11] ---**
Please, say something to Rika!
She's trying to escape from battle!
**[12:19] ---**
If Mion were here, she'd say
that's worthy of a penalty...
**[12:24] ---**
But if Rika-*chan* doesn't want to play,
we shouldn't force her.
**[12:28] ---**
I wish you'd come play, but he's right.
**[12:35] ---**
Well, okay.
**[12:38] ---**
I'll come play.
**[12:40] ---**
That's great, but are you sure?
**[12:43] ---**
I can study later.
**[12:46] ---**
Besides, I want to play with you guys, too.
**[12:51] ---**
I get to play games with Rika-*chan*!
**[12:53] ---**
You haven't come to club at all lately!
I've missed you so much!
**[12:58] ---**
Rena...
**[12:59] ---**
You understand now, yes?
**[13:01] ---**
Everyone wants you to stay here.
Nobody wants you to change!
**[13:06] ---**
Yes, I know!
**[13:13] ---**
What a rousing game that was!
**[13:15] ---**
With comeback after comeback,
**[13:17] ---**
I'm sure today's game will forever live
in the annals of club history!
**[13:20] ---**
I never thought the score
would go into triple digits.
**[13:25] ---**
And that grand slam you hit at the end
definitely clinched the win for us!
**[13:31] ---**
Boy, am I tired.
My legs feel like they'll fall off!
**[13:36] ---**
I'm really tired, too. I'm so glad
we didn't go into extra innings.
**[13:41] ---**
We'd better get to bed early today.
**[13:44] ---**
We're gonna flop into our futons
and start snoring right away!
**[13:56] ---**
This should do it.
**[14:10] ---**
Rika?
**[14:45] ---**
Rika?
**[14:47] ---**
You startled me.
**[14:50] ---**
Could we talk?
**[15:02] ---**
You truly insist on attending
St. Lucia Academy?
**[15:07] ---**
I don't want to go alone.
I want you to go with me, too.
**[15:13] ---**
I'll be honest with you.
**[15:16] ---**
I don't want to go that far from here.
**[15:19] ---**
I don't want to go to St. Lucia.
**[15:22] ---**
I understand. You're worried about the exam.
**[15:26] ---**
It's not the exam.
**[15:29] ---**
Yes, I do detest studying,
**[15:32] ---**
but I know that
I'll give it my all if it's for you.
**[15:37] ---**
I'll push myself to my limit
to make you happy, Rika.
**[15:43] ---**
I'll pour my all into studying,
and then, if we both get accepted...
**[15:49] ---**
If we do, I'll already be
so exhausted from the effort,
**[15:54] ---**
I won't be able to keep up with the academics.
**[16:04] ---**
I don't want to live through
that experience, not at all.
**[16:10] ---**
If all of that really does come to pass...
**[16:15] ---**
...then I'll help you!
**[16:21] ---**
I don't like studying, either.
**[16:24] ---**
But if there's anything you don't understand,
I can help you with it.
**[16:31] ---**
We can study together, too!
**[16:34] ---**
You're not like me, Rika.
**[16:38] ---**
When you get bigger, you're going
to be elegant and ladylike,
**[16:42] ---**
and make lots of friends at St. Lucia.
**[16:46] ---**
I don't have it in me to be so graceful.
I won't make any friends, either.
**[16:51] ---**
I would never be able to mold myself
to the school's stuffy, formal customs.
**[16:56] ---**
Satoko...
**[16:58] ---**
I'll have to stretch myself thin
to get into the school,
**[17:01] ---**
then continue to stretch myself
beyond my limits to graduate.
**[17:05] ---**
I won't be able to endure it.
**[17:10] ---**
Thank you, Satoko.
**[17:12] ---**
Huh?
**[17:13] ---**
Thank you for telling me
how you really feel about this.
**[17:17] ---**
Rika...
**[17:19] ---**
I promise, Satoko.
**[17:20] ---**
I won't leave you all by yourself.
**[17:23] ---**
You're my best friend. If you're ever
in trouble, I'll come help you!
**[17:28] ---**
So please, trust me on this,
and come with me to St. Lucia!
**[17:37] ---**
You'll really keep that promise?
**[17:40] ---**
Of course! I promise!
**[17:43] ---**
Very well.
**[17:46] ---**
I'll take you at your word, Rika,
just this one last time.
**[17:50] ---**
I won't let you down, I swear!
**[17:55] ---**
I suppose this means my long days
of studying begin tomorrow.
**[17:58] ---**
With the two of us working together,
I'm sure we'll be fine!
**[18:14] ---**
Would you mind telling me that?
**[18:15] ---**
So you see...
**[18:17] ---**
My, I barely hold a candle to you.
**[18:21] ---**
You're all so lovely.
**[18:29] ---**
Rika...
**[18:31] ---**
I trusted you, and *this* is how you treat me?
**[18:39] ---**
Are you making a mockery out of me?!
**[18:44] ---**
You won't leave me all by myself?
**[18:46] ---**
You'll help me if I'm in trouble?
**[18:51] ---**
Some best friend you are!
**[18:55] ---**
What's the matter?
**[18:57] ---**
Oh, nothing. Do forgive me.
**[19:02] ---**
This is an act of betrayal, is it not?
**[19:06] ---**
Wouldn't you agree, Rika?
**[19:14] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[19:16] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[19:22] ---**
Rika-*sama*! Good tidings to you!
**[19:24] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[19:26] ---**
Good tidings to you, Rika-*sama*!
**[19:28] ---**
Good tidings to you.
**[19:37] ---**
Morning, Rika.
**[19:40] ---**
Satoko...
**[19:41] ---**
No tidings for your best friend?
**[19:45] ---**
Or were you lying about that, too?
**[19:49] ---**
You dirty liar, Rika.
**[19:52] ---**
Good morning, Satoko.
**[19:54] ---**
Rika-*san*, you need not
concern yourself with her.
**[19:57] ---**
I'm speaking to Rika right now,
**[20:01] ---**
not you goldfish turds in lady's clothing.
**[20:04] ---**
Such a foul mouth!
I will not stand for this kind of talk!
**[20:07] ---**
Do you have any inkling of how much
Rika-*san* worries about your sorry state?
**[20:11] ---**
If she does, then why did she break
that promise she made to me?
**[20:19] ---**
I never lied to you.
**[20:25] ---**
When your grades started to slip,
I offered you a hand.
**[20:30] ---**
You're the one who pushed it away.
**[20:35] ---**
I wanted to overcome these
struggles together with you, Rika.
**[20:39] ---**
I didn't want you to look down on me in pity!
**[20:43] ---**
I never looked down on you.
**[20:45] ---**
You were the one who put yourself below me.
**[20:49] ---**
It would seem this conversation
isn't going anywhere.
**[20:53] ---**
Yes, I would agree.
**[20:57] ---**
How very unfortunate. That was *not*
the response I wanted to hear from you.
**[21:10] ---**
What are you doing to Rika-*san*?!
**[21:12] ---**
Rika...
**[21:14] ---**
This reminds me of the good old days.
**[21:19] ---**
Satoko...
**[21:22] ---**
Now, let's begin.
**[21:25] ---**
Huh?
**[21:26] ---**
Next time, I won't let you deceive me.
**[21:30] ---**
Satoko? What did you just--
**[21:32] ---**
Now then, good tidings to you,
**[21:35] ---**
my traitorous Rika.
**[22:00] ---**
--No!
**[22:01] ---**
--Rika-*sama*!
--No!

There's something I've secretly
dreamed of doing for a long, long time.
**[02:16] ---**
And I want to make that dream
come true with you, Satoko.
**[02:20] ---**
I want to experience high society
at a fancy school with you!
**[02:28] ---**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[02:30] ---**
"Mandai Books"
**[02:31] ---**
"Mandai Books"
Please wait! I'm not done explaining--
**[02:34] ---**
"Mandai Books" Rika.
**[02:36] ---**
I'm not as smart as you are.
**[02:40] ---**
Moreover, I absolutely detest studying.
**[02:43] ---**
Yes, so do I! That's why we can work together--
**[02:47] ---**
Please stop talking and let me speak.
**[02:50] ---**
Even if we get into that school, I won't
be able to keep up with the academics.
**[02:57] ---**
And those ladylike types would never
befriend a country bumpkin like me.
**[03:02] ---**
Though you'll fit in well, so I'm sure
you'll be surrounded by friends.
**[03:08] ---**
I don't want to be all by my lonesome.
**[03:11] ---**
Don't worry!
**[03:13] ---**
I'm your best friend. I'll be by your side
the whole time! It'll be okay!
**[03:18] ---**
Even after we get in, I'll be your best friend.
I won't let you be alone!
**[03:24] ---**
I promise!
**[03:25] ---**
You're lying!
**[03:27] ---**
You're lying. You're a filthy liar, Rika!
**[03:30] ---**
I know what your idea of "together" is!
**[03:32] ---**
It's studying for exams "together"
because it's boring alone.
**[03:36] ---**
Or going to the exam results posting "together"
because it's sad going alone!
**[03:39] ---**
Or going to the bathroom at night "together"
because you're scared!
**[03:42] ---**
That's *all* you mean by "together"!
**[03:44] ---**
Th-That's not what I mean...
**[03:46] ---**
Tell me, Rika.
**[03:48] ---**
Being able to accomplish anything
with effort is a talent in and of itself.
**[03:52] ---**
You tried to learn to walk with stilts
or ride a unicycle, but did you succeed?
**[03:58] ---**
I...
**[03:59] ---**
I could do both with ease, yet you kept
struggling and failing, over and over.
**[04:08] ---**
I never...
**[04:10] ---**
Everyone has things they simply can't do,
no matter how hard they try.
**[04:16] ---**
I'll put it simply: no matter how hard I try,
I will *never* excel in school.
**[04:21] ---**
And I don't *want* to try! I *hate* it!
**[04:25] ---**
I can't endure the pain I must suffer
to help you with your "dream"!
**[04:31] ---**
And then, when we get into the school,
you'll forget all about me,
**[04:35] ---**
and instead spend all your time
with your fancy little friends!
**[04:37] ---**
You'll have nothing to do with your
stupid "friend"! I know that's what happens!
**[04:44] ---**
Why are you saying all this...?
**[04:46] ---**
So now, you have to decide!
Do you want your fancy school, or me?
**[04:51] ---**
Pick one and live with it!
**[04:54] ---**
Why are you this upset about it?
I don't understand!
**[04:58] ---**
Are you going to live a fun,
happy life with me here in Hinamizawa,
**[05:02] ---**
or abandon both Hinamizawa *and* me?!
**[05:06] ---**
Make a decision, right now!
**[05:11] ---**
I'm sorry. I can't pick just one.
**[05:14] ---**
I want *both* the school *and* you!
**[05:26] ---**
Huh?
**[05:33] ---**
Oh, Rika.
**[05:35] ---**
I told you to pick *one*, didn't I?
**[05:43] ---**
But you always have to be so stubborn.
**[05:46] ---**
This won't be as easy as I expected.
**[06:16] ---**
"Saturday, June 16th, 1984"
**[06:22] ---**
Where are we going? It's so early...
**[06:25] ---**
We have some time before we have to get up.
**[06:33] ---**
We made it in time.
**[06:35] ---**
Take a look.
**[06:49] ---**
Isn't it stunning?
**[06:53] ---**
Yes, it is.
**[06:57] ---**
That's not all that's stunning.
**[07:00] ---**
The evening view, the night sky.
**[07:04] ---**
Every hour and minute,
every season, every location...
**[07:07] ---**
There are so many more beautiful facets
of Hinamizawa we've yet to discover.
**[07:14] ---**
That's why if, and I mean this hypothetically,
**[07:18] ---**
If you ever wanted to leave
this wonderful place...
**[07:22] ---**
Huh?
**[07:23] ---**
...then all this beauty
would go to waste, would it not?
**[07:33] ---**
You totally just read my mind, Satoko.
**[07:37] ---**
It was easy! I am your best friend, after all.
**[07:43] ---**
I'm glad you're my friend.
You're my bestest friend in the world, Satoko.
**[07:48] ---**
--If that's true--
--That's why I know
you'll support this dream of mine.
**[07:54] ---**
What do you mean?
**[07:56] ---**
I want to share this dream of mine with you.
**[08:00] ---**
When I graduate from the Village School,
I want to leave Hinamizawa...
**[08:05] ---**
What did I just say?
**[08:09] ---**
I just said how foolish it would be
to let Hinamizawa's beauty go to waste.
**[08:15] ---**
S-Satoko?
**[08:17] ---**
Yet you still want to leave?
**[08:19] ---**
Stupidity like that will only lead
to divine punishment.
**[08:23] ---**
Why, Oyashiro-*sama* would weep.
**[08:26] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama* did weep, when she knew
I was trapped here in Hinamizawa.
**[08:32] ---**
I'm sure she'd *want* me to leave!
**[08:38] ---**
Stupid, sinful Rika.
**[08:43] ---**
And you call yourself a priestess
of Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[09:02] ---**
Snap out of it already!
**[09:04] ---**
This isn't like you at all, Rika!
**[09:06] ---**
--The heck?
--Satoko-*chan*?
**[09:10] ---**
You're the one acting strange here, Satoko.
**[09:13] ---**
Wow, you guys never fight.
**[09:15] ---**
What's going on, you guys? What is it?
**[09:18] ---**
Forgive me, Keiichi, Rena,
but this is none of your business.
**[09:22] ---**
Well, sure, but we're friends.
**[09:25] ---**
We can lend you an ear if you want us to help!
**[09:29] ---**
Thank you, but I don't think you *can* help.
**[09:41] ---**
--Hey!
--Don't, Satoko-*chan*!
**[09:54] ---**
You really are stubborn, aren't you?
**[10:08] ---**
You are so very entertaining, child of man.
**[10:16] ---**
Why don't you understand?!
**[10:18] ---**
I don't! I don't understand any of this at all!
**[10:21] ---**
I'm doing this all because I care about you!
**[10:24] ---**
And that's what I don't understand!
**[10:27] ---**
If you really cared about me,
then why don't you support me?
**[10:30] ---**
Why won't you support my dream?!
**[10:32] ---**
You know *nothing*, Satoko!
**[10:35] ---**
*You're* the one who knows *nothing*!
**[10:48] ---**
I have yet to tire...
**[10:52] ---**
...of your antics in these worlds.
**[11:01] ---**
Rika's so stupid.
**[11:04] ---**
She lived through endless years
to fulfill her wish.
**[11:08] ---**
Those eons have likely only strengthened
her resolve to leave Hinamizawa.
**[11:15] ---**
What do you mean, eons?
**[11:17] ---**
The eons that cat was trapped within
Hinamizawa numbered about a hundred years.
**[11:24] ---**
What did you just say?
**[11:27] ---**
She has longed to fulfill this dream
for one hundred years.
**[11:30] ---**
Such strong desire will not be so easy to quash.
**[11:35] ---**
By cat, you mean Rika, yes?
**[11:38] ---**
And she wasn't "trapped" for a hundred years!
**[11:41] ---**
She's only lived there for a dozen,
if even that!
**[11:45] ---**
You and that cat are cut of the same cloth.
**[11:47] ---**
Huh?
**[11:48] ---**
Yet she has lived in loops for far longer,
reliving the same period of time.
**[11:56] ---**
Rika lives in loops, too?
**[11:58] ---**
Indeed, and she has but one goal:
**[12:01] ---**
"Wednesday, June 22nd, 1983"
To escape from the bonds
of June 1983 Hinamizawa.
**[12:07] ---**
"Wednesday, June 22nd, 1983"
1983...
**[12:10] ---**
That's the year we battled those Mountain Dogs.
**[12:13] ---**
It was quite the turmoil, but we
banded together and achieved victory.
**[12:20] ---**
That is how you perceive it, yes.
**[12:23] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[12:25] ---**
That cat lived through countless loops
to bring about that single victory.
**[12:31] ---**
A hundred years of looping time.
**[12:36] ---**
These many fragments hold the records
of each world the cat has traversed.
**[12:41] ---**
You could describe them as the price
she paid to achieve her victory.
**[12:47] ---**
These are all Rika's...
**[12:50] ---**
Come, now. Shall we take a gander?
**[12:53] ---**
Huh?
**[13:06] ---**
Keiichi-*san*?! What are you doing?!
**[13:14] ---**
M... Mion-*san*!
**[13:20] ---**
Huh? Did that happen to Rika...?
**[13:24] ---**
What you saw was but a short excerpt
of the cat's long-endured tragedy.
**[13:29] ---**
Still, it offered you a glimpse
into her struggles, yes?
**[13:34] ---**
Indeed.
**[13:37] ---**
I never imagined Keiichi-*san*
could be so terrifying.
**[13:40] ---**
All of these fragments are the result of
the cat's hundred years of travel.
**[13:45] ---**
Many times, she lost hope that she would
be able to escape the spiral of tragedy.
**[13:53] ---**
Just like you, she agonized endlessly
over the futility of her efforts.
**[13:59] ---**
It's difficult to make things go your way,
no matter how many times you loop.
**[14:07] ---**
I thought living in loops was a power
that was guaranteed to grant my wish,
**[14:14] ---**
but it isn't that simple, is it?
**[14:16] ---**
Give a monkey a typewriter,
**[14:19] ---**
and eventually it will produce
the entirety of *Hamlet*.
**[14:23] ---**
Your wish *will* be granted,
but how long that will take, I cannot say.
**[14:29] ---**
I know what I must do.
**[14:31] ---**
Oh?
**[14:32] ---**
If I'm to change Rika's opinion,
I must educate myself further.
**[14:38] ---**
And how do you intend to do that?
**[14:41] ---**
If these are all her fragments...
**[14:44] ---**
...then I want to watch every single one.
**[14:46] ---**
It will take a hundred years to view
every scene of her century of loops.
**[14:53] ---**
That's quite all right.
**[14:58] ---**
You are so very entertaining!
**[15:05] ---**
I will *not* let Rika win.
**[15:31] ---**
That's what demoning away is, isn't it?
Can't you just tell me already?!
**[15:37] ---**
I'm not sure what you're
talking about, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[15:41] ---**
Fine, I'll put it this way!
**[15:43] ---**
Who's behind the series of murders
here in Hinamizawa?!
**[15:49] ---**
I can't turn around... I can't!
**[15:53] ---**
If I turn around, I'll... I'll...
**[15:57] ---**
I know you're scared,
but you need to tell me!
**[16:01] ---**
Just take a quick glance!
Who is standing behind you, Maebara-*san*?!
**[16:07] ---**
Maebara-*san*, don't tell me...
**[16:10] ---**
You're not scratching at your neck
right now, are you?
**[16:16] ---**
You a citizen of Hinamizawa?
Can you tell me your name and address?
**[16:21] ---**
I know I live here.
**[16:25] ---**
My name's Keiichi Maebara.
**[16:26] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
My name's Keiichi Maebara.
**[16:34] ---**
Huh?
**[16:41] ---**
Hey! Show some respect to the victims!
That man was a resident of this village!
**[16:45] ---**
Sorry, sir!
**[17:05] ---**
Hinamizawa Syndrome
is a bomb with a lit fuse,
**[17:11] ---**
and there are some people in Tokyo
who want to see it go off.
**[17:16] ---**
Y-You're insane!
**[17:18] ---**
Hinamizawa Syndrome is an extremely
dangerous disease! You *know* that!
**[17:24] ---**
Do you have any idea who killed them?
**[17:28] ---**
Based on the situation, it's clear
this was done by someone within the org.
**[17:36] ---**
And I'm guessing I'm their prime suspect.
**[17:40] ---**
You *are* the only one who could have
killed Tomitake in that fashion.
**[17:44] ---**
Th-That's not true!
**[17:46] ---**
I'm sure people in Tokyo have mentioned H173,
**[17:51] ---**
but all those samples were destroyed!
**[17:53] ---**
That's right.
**[17:56] ---**
Takano is the one who kills you, Rika.
**[17:59] ---**
I still don't understand. *Why* does she kill me?
**[18:06] ---**
I'm the queen carrier. Killing me would
result in an unprecedented disaster.
**[18:11] ---**
That's why the Irie Facility and
the Mountain Dogs are protecting me, right?
**[18:37] ---**
I came to say goodbye.
**[18:44] ---**
Farewell, *Nii-Nii*.
**[18:55] ---**
I'd grown tired of waiting.
**[18:58] ---**
I understand the rules
of Rika's endless tragedy.
**[19:03] ---**
I see. And what do you intend to do?
**[19:07] ---**
I've realized something.
**[19:11] ---**
Even if someone can live through
endless loops of time,
**[19:14] ---**
they cannot escape
the damage done to their mind.
**[19:17] ---**
Correct. While this power grants one
an endless existence,
**[19:22] ---**
it does not promise a preserved mind.
**[19:25] ---**
In fact, it would be correct to say
this power does *not* make you immortal.
**[19:30] ---**
That goes for Rika, too, then, yes?
**[19:33] ---**
As you just witnessed,
**[19:36] ---**
the cat endlessly tossed the dice of fate
in her fight against perpetual tragedy.
**[19:41] ---**
By the end, she had lost her will to fight
and nearly gave up altogether.
**[19:48] ---**
In that case, I just need to
break her will again, don't I?
**[19:53] ---**
That'll do it.
**[19:58] ---**
This time, I'll make sure she gives up entirely.
**[20:03] ---**
However will you do that?
**[20:06] ---**
Every time I loop,
everything gets reset, right?
**[20:10] ---**
The only thing that persists is my memory.
**[20:13] ---**
Correct.
**[20:14] ---**
Could you make it so that Rika's memory
persists through the loops, too?
**[20:20] ---**
My. That is indeed possible.
**[20:23] ---**
The horn that granted the cat power
was damaged, but mine is not.
**[20:29] ---**
It would be quite easy.
**[20:34] ---**
I hereby grant you new power.
**[20:38] ---**
Henceforth, when you die after the cat,
**[20:41] ---**
both of you will return to the same fragment.
**[20:44] ---**
I'll be able to chase after
the same Rika forever.
**[20:48] ---**
That's what this entails, yes?
**[20:51] ---**
If I'm remembering correctly,
**[20:54] ---**
that damaged horn is what prevents Rika
from remembering the events of her death.
**[20:57] ---**
Correct. She will not remember
the hours preceding her death.
**[21:03] ---**
As such, the cat does not retain memory
of the cause of her death.
**[21:07] ---**
If Rika dies, then I die shortly after,
**[21:10] ---**
our memory will be preserved
and sent on to the same fragment.
**[21:14] ---**
However, Rika will not remember
the events surrounding her death.
**[21:19] ---**
I'll make fine use of that, Rika.
**[21:22] ---**
I excel in these battles of wills
and will succeed in breaking yours.
**[21:29] ---**
You truly are a most entertaining subject.
**[21:33] ---**
You may have given us the grandiose label
of "one who lives in loops,"
**[21:36] ---**
but really, this is no more
than a contest of endurance.
**[21:40] ---**
My wish is to live a happy life
with Rika in Hinamizawa.
**[21:46] ---**
Her wish is the direct opposite.
**[21:48] ---**
She doesn't care about me,
only the possibility of leaving Hinamizawa.
**[21:52] ---**
Our wishes directly oppose one another.
**[21:56] ---**
I won't let you win, Rika.
**[21:59] ---**
My love for you is so great...
**[22:04] ---**
...it will ensure that you *lose*.
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:08] ---**
"Da Vinci"
**[00:11] ---**
Okay, everyone! Listen up!
**[00:13] ---**
There are 15 of us playing today.
**[00:16] ---**
We'll draw names from a hat
and split into five groups,
**[00:18] ---**
and winners will advance to the
next round, tournament-style.
**[00:22] ---**
What's up, Satoko?
**[00:24] ---**
Are you bored?
**[00:26] ---**
Bored? Why do you think I'm bored?
**[00:29] ---**
I dunno, you've just
looked like that all morning.
**[00:33] ---**
We've done this exact
same thing in club before.
**[00:36] ---**
I was just thinking about that, that's all.
**[00:39] ---**
Oh, you guys have?
**[00:41] ---**
This is my first time doing it,
so I'm pretty excited.
**[00:44] ---**
But even if the rules are the same,
since our groups are picked out of a hat,
**[00:48] ---**
you never know what you'll play
or who'll you'll play with!
**[00:52] ---**
Except I *do* know.
**[00:55] ---**
All five of us will be split apart.
**[00:58] ---**
I will be playing Concentration,
and you will be playing the Game of Life.
**[01:04] ---**
That's some prophecy.
Almost feels like I'm talking to Rika-*chan*.
**[01:09] ---**
True, that *does* sound like
something she might say.
**[01:12] ---**
Though I'll use that prophetic ability
to accomplish far more entertaining things.
**[01:26] ---**
Here I go!
**[01:31] ---**
Wrong ca--
**[01:33] ---**
Here I go!
**[01:37] ---**
The ace of hearts is right here.
**[01:40] ---**
Huh?!
**[01:41] ---**
She guessed right?!
**[01:43] ---**
Unfortunately for the lot of you,
you're not going to get a chance to play!
**[02:06] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[02:09] ---**
A-Are you psychic or something...?
**[02:12] ---**
On the contrary! It was a clever trap!
**[02:16] ---**
You wandered right into my trap
from the moment the game started!
**[02:21] ---**
A perfect victory, in record time,
no less! I'm impressed!
**[02:24] ---**
That's the Game Club's
shining star for you!
**[02:27] ---**
That was incredible, Satoko!
You have to tell me how you did that!
**[02:33] ---**
My, this trick is well
within *your* ability, Rika!
**[02:57] ---**
*Stifling air quietly shaking me*
**[03:00] ---**
*Suggestive silence*
**[03:04] ---**
*The distortions in the light
growing more twisted*
**[03:07] ---**
*Logic lost to me now*
**[03:11] ---**
*I believe what you said*
**[03:14] ---**
*A place I long to return to*
**[03:18] ---**
*Distinct scenery*
**[03:21] ---**
*She sneered as she declared she wanted it all*
**[03:26] ---**
*I've always felt your joy*
**[03:29] ---**
*I've always felt your tears*
**[03:34] ---**
*No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me*
**[03:40] ---**
*The one and only answer*
**[03:43] ---**
*The door I was searching for*
**[03:47] ---**
*Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me*
**[03:54] ---**
*Something engulfed in the bright light*
**[04:02] ---**
*The true nature of everything*
**[04:04] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
*The true nature of everything*
**[04:06] ---**
*The true nature of everything*
**[04:16] ---**
You are more resourceful
than the cat, by far.
**[04:22] ---**
My methods of approaching problems
are quite different from Rika's.
**[04:28] ---**
Is that so?
**[04:29] ---**
If I were to explain it
by means of a dice game,
**[04:32] ---**
Rika relies on her charm and luck
to merely hope the dice roll in her favor.
**[04:36] ---**
I take action to ensure that
the winning result is rolled for certain.
**[04:42] ---**
And, since I have infinite time
in this world to prepare,
**[04:46] ---**
there's no way I can lose to Rika!
**[04:52] ---**
Pardon the change in subject, but it's difficult
to speak with you without knowing your name.
**[04:58] ---**
What is it? I think it's about time I knew.
**[05:04] ---**
I am not one to be named. I have no name.
**[05:08] ---**
I first alighted on this
fragment upon your touch.
**[05:15] ---**
But this is a fine opportunity.
You may decide upon a name for me.
**[05:20] ---**
Huh? You want me to name you?
What a brash decision.
**[05:23] ---**
Come now, what will it be?
**[05:26] ---**
Umm... eh... ooh... uhh...
**[05:33] ---**
That will do!
**[05:34] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[05:37] ---**
You never do change.
**[05:40] ---**
From this moment forth,
you may call me "Eua."
**[05:43] ---**
Th-That wasn't a name!
**[05:50] ---**
Very well, then.
Let me continue, Eua-*san*.
**[05:54] ---**
I've encountered a strange phenomenon
in my journey through these fragments.
**[05:59] ---**
And what would that be?
**[06:02] ---**
Sometimes, non-looping humans
can remember events from other fragments.
**[06:10] ---**
No... No!
**[06:13] ---**
How could I have done that?!
I'm a monster!
**[06:18] ---**
Wh-What's wrong with Keiichi-*san*?
**[06:21] ---**
No idea.
**[06:23] ---**
Slow down, Kei-*chan*.
I'm well and alive, see?
**[06:29] ---**
Keiichi, are you remembering...
**[06:31] ---**
...the time you killed Rena and Mii?
**[06:33] ---**
Yes! Yes, I killed them!
I killed them both!
**[06:37] ---**
But not here--in some
other world just like ours!
**[06:41] ---**
I started thinking my friends
were out to get me, so I killed them!
**[06:46] ---**
They tried to help me--I know they did!
Why didn't I hear it then?!
**[06:52] ---**
I don't understand!
**[06:57] ---**
And it's not just Keiichi-*san*.
**[06:59] ---**
Rena-*san*, Shion-*san*, and more have been
affected by events in other fragments.
**[07:06] ---**
My abilities are too powerful
for this world to bear.
**[07:10] ---**
When looping lives use these powers,
**[07:13] ---**
their influence causes small changes
to accumulate within their fragments.
**[07:17] ---**
The cat called those changes "miracles."
**[07:21] ---**
Then it's no coincidence that these
strange events happen on every fragment.
**[07:28] ---**
The accumulation of memories is irreversible.
**[07:31] ---**
Once your influence imparts change upon
a memory, no amount of loops can erase it.
**[07:35] ---**
Indeed, the more loops one lives through,
the stronger that influence becomes.
**[07:41] ---**
That would mean those who are closest
to the looper are the most affected.
**[07:46] ---**
Of course. Your strong ties to the cat
are what caused you to arrive here, yes?
**[07:54] ---**
Then one's direct relatives would *also*
be affected by these changes, right?
**[07:59] ---**
Yes, undoubtedly.
**[08:03] ---**
That idea is laughable to me.
**[08:10] ---**
Yes, I know, but he wasn't
a very neighborly person.
**[08:16] ---**
And everyone's complained about
the smell of garbage from his unit,
**[08:20] ---**
but in this heat wave, it's been
even *worse* these past few days.
**[08:30] ---**
Died alone with no one to find him.
**[08:32] ---**
You'd better get to finding a wife.
**[08:35] ---**
Men like us live alone for too long,
you end up wrecking your body,
**[08:39] ---**
then bam--you're dead before
people think to check on you.
**[08:42] ---**
I think I've got a few years
before I have to worry about that.
**[08:45] ---**
Look. He was tearing up the tatami.
**[08:48] ---**
He must've suffered a painful seizure
and had been unable to control himself.
**[08:54] ---**
Then *this* is how he gets found,
days later. Poor guy.
**[09:06] ---**
What the fuck kind of dream was that?
**[09:10] ---**
Yo, Teppei!
**[09:12] ---**
Thought you could get away
with that shit, huh?
**[09:16] ---**
Wh-What're you talkin'--
**[09:18] ---**
Shut your bitch mouth!
**[09:20] ---**
H-Help!
**[09:23] ---**
The fuck's wrong with you?
You wanna end up like him, too?
**[09:28] ---**
Then piss the fuck off, asshole!
**[09:32] ---**
C'mon, Teppei. You gotta be
a good neighbor n'all, yeah?
**[09:39] ---**
All right, guys. Take care of him will ya?
**[09:42] ---**
And be sure to *finish the job*.
**[09:43] ---**
--You got it.
--You got it.

What the hell am I doin'...?
**[10:50] ---**
The tulip's blooming!
**[10:52] ---**
Wow, look at all the balls!
You're so cool, Daddy!
**[10:57] ---**
We're going to bring home
so many presents.
**[11:00] ---**
Yay!
**[11:02] ---**
I'm so sorry, was my daughter bothering you?
**[11:06] ---**
Huh?
**[11:08] ---**
Oh, no.
**[11:10] ---**
C'mon, sweetie, let's go.
**[11:12] ---**
Okay!
**[11:15] ---**
How the hell am I supposed to say
that's botherin' me? Moron.
**[11:24] ---**
Thanks, Daddy!
**[11:28] ---**
It's because you were such a good girl.
**[11:30] ---**
Let's head home.
**[11:31] ---**
Yeah! Let's go home!
**[11:34] ---**
Next in line.
**[11:41] ---**
How would you like to spend the rest, sir?
**[11:43] ---**
Huh? I dunno...

**[11:50] ---**

I'll take some of those.
**[11:52] ---**

"Park"
**[12:24] ---**
This noise used to piss me off
so fuckin' bad.
**[12:32] ---**
But it really ain't that bad.
**[13:00] ---**
Guess nobody's living here
now that Satoshi's gone.
**[13:24] ---**
Not like there's anything
waiting for me back at my apartment.
**[13:48] ---**
U-Uncle...
**[13:55] ---**
I-It's been so long.
**[14:13] ---**
Huh?
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, right. The machines were busted today,
so I won a bunch of shit.
**[14:22] ---**
"Choco Donuts"
But I ended up with all these kiddie snacks,
and they don't do much for me.
**[14:24] ---**
But I ended up with all these kiddie snacks,
and they don't do much for me.
**[14:28] ---**
Plus, my doctor says I gotta
cut down on sweet stuff.
**[14:33] ---**
You like snacks, right, Satoko?
**[14:46] ---**
Guess you've outgrown this stuff, huh?
**[14:50] ---**
You can hand 'em out to
the little kids at school, then.
**[14:54] ---**
Or you could throw them away
if you don't want 'em.
**[14:58] ---**
Hey, Satoko?
**[15:00] ---**
If I end up winning more snacks in pachinko,
**[15:04] ---**
could I swing by to drop 'em off?
**[15:07] ---**
S-Sure.
**[15:28] ---**
"Choco Donuts"
**[15:54] ---**
And I got right in his face and said,
"You shut your fuckin' mouth!"
**[16:09] ---**
What do you want?
**[16:10] ---**
You got somethin' to say? Then say it, kid!
**[16:15] ---**
You're blocking the road.
How am I supposed to get by?
**[16:17] ---**
The fuck? You tryin' to start shit,
you little brat?!
**[16:21] ---**
The hell do you think you are, huh, bitch?!
**[16:24] ---**
Hey!
**[16:26] ---**
Fuck off, punks!
**[16:30] ---**
Wh-Who the fuck are you?!
**[16:32] ---**
The fuck're you guys doin' to my Satoko?!
**[16:34] ---**
Shut it, bitch!
**[16:36] ---**
--Yeah, get 'im!
--Shut your damn mouth, you old bitch!
--You think you can get away with that?!
**[16:43] ---**
--Crap!
--Run!
**[16:45] ---**
Hey, hold it! Get back here!

"Okinomiya Police Station"
It wasn't us! That old guy just
started beating the shit out of us!
**[16:58] ---**
Pipe down and start walking!
**[17:00] ---**
Ow, ow! It was self-defense, honest!
**[17:03] ---**
Just had to teach a few disrespectful
little punks a hard lesson, that's all!
**[17:07] ---**
Is that all want me to
put that down on this report?
**[17:10] ---**
Yeah, whatever! How many times
I gotta tell you that's what happened?
**[17:17] ---**
Hello there, Hojo-*san*.
**[17:22] ---**
And here you've been keeping
out of trouble. What's going on?
**[17:28] ---**
Sorry, Kuma-*chan*, but would you mind
letting me switch in for this one?
**[17:37] ---**
Hojo-*san*, this is pretty
out of character for you.
**[17:43] ---**
We talked to lots of witnesses...
**[17:48] ---**
...and all of them,
even Satoko, made the same statement.
**[17:53] ---**
That those guys were ganging up on your niece,
and you jumped in to save her.
**[17:58] ---**
Th-That's a crock of bullshit!
I ain't the kind of asshole who'd do that.
**[18:04] ---**
I'd have to agree with you.
**[18:08] ---**
A card-carrying criminal like you
would never pick a fight with some punks
**[18:13] ---**
to protect your darling niece,
and not even expect a single penny in return.
**[18:20] ---**
I was just in a shit mood!
Nothin' else was goin' on!
**[18:27] ---**
Just make sure you thank Satoko
when it's all said and done.
**[18:34] ---**
If she hadn't told the officer at the scene
that you were protecting her...
**[18:40] ---**
Let's just say you'd be in
a whole lot more trouble.
**[18:47] ---**
"Okinomiya Police Station"
**[19:07] ---**
Why on Earth did you do that?
**[19:09] ---**
The uncle I know
would never have tried that.
**[19:15] ---**
Yeah, I know. I'm not supposed
to be this kinda guy, either.
**[19:20] ---**
Why, then? What happened?
**[19:23] ---**
Been havin' lots of bad dreams lately.
**[19:25] ---**
Dreams where I live
a shitty life over, and over, and over.
**[19:31] ---**
I haven't been takin' care of my body,
and shit's getting bad...
**[19:35] ---**
I finally realized that if I don't do something,
I'll end up dyin' alone.
**[19:39] ---**
So I just thought...
**[19:43] ---**
So you're hoping for someone
to take care of you for free, then?
**[19:49] ---**
Hell, maybe.
**[19:51] ---**
That's a bit much to ask.
**[19:54] ---**
I know.
**[19:56] ---**
After all the shit I've done,
**[19:58] ---**
I got no right to be wanting family
to take care of me when I die.
**[20:10] ---**
But I'm gonna make up for
all the pain and sufferin' I've caused.
**[20:14] ---**
I'm gonna live out the rest of my days
without bein' a burden on anyone else.
**[20:19] ---**
But, well, if you ever said
you'd want to try again with m-me...
**[20:30] ---**
I wouldn't be opposed to stoppin' by
every now and then. We could do dinner.
**[20:40] ---**
That, too, is a bit much to ask.
**[20:44] ---**
I'm gonna stop hangin' around those assholes.
**[20:47] ---**
And I'll never hit you again. I promise.
**[20:53] ---**
So...
**[20:54] ---**
I'm not askin' for your forgiveness,
**[20:56] ---**
but could we try to be on speakin' terms?
**[21:13] ---**
Shut the hell up, you damn brat!
You're too fucking loud!
**[21:19] ---**
No!
**[21:34] ---**
Sorry.
**[21:36] ---**
Should've known a handshake
wasn't appropriate after all the shit I did.
**[21:44] ---**
You take care, Satoko.
**[21:47] ---**
If we run into each other again,
I hope we can have another nice chat.

**[00:17] ---**
T'would seem the unfathomable sight of
your uncle reformed has left you faltering.
**[00:22] ---**
Indeed. I could never have
imagined such a transformation.
**[00:26] ---**
It was brought about by my power.
**[00:30] ---**
Every time you live through yet another loop,
**[00:33] ---**
those accumulated memories grow
ever stronger, and ever widespread.
**[00:38] ---**
How inconvenient.
**[00:41] ---**
But very well. I shall use my reformed
uncle to his utmost potential.
**[00:46] ---**
You mean to say it will not hinder you?
**[00:49] ---**
Not at all. I'm not worried
about him in the slightest.
**[00:52] ---**
The *true* hindrance...
**[00:59] ---**
...is the birdcage,
**[01:02] ---**
and this person in particular.
**[01:06] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th, 1983"
**[01:11] ---**
What's going on, Okonogi?!
**[01:14] ---**
This is the end of the line.
**[01:16] ---**
Tomitake rallied the Bloodhounds,
and they've just arrived.
**[01:19] ---**
The Bloodhounds? They're just like
the Mountain Dogs, aren't they?
**[01:23] ---**
Why aren't you fighting back?!
**[01:25] ---**
Don't make me laugh.
**[01:26] ---**
We Mountain Dogs are no more
than a counterintelligence unit.
**[01:29] ---**
The Bloodhounds are
an elite squad trained for combat.
**[01:33] ---**
We're no match for them, not in the slightest.
**[01:36] ---**
But why are they here in the first place?!
**[01:38] ---**
We captured Tomitake! How are they here?!
**[01:41] ---**
Major Takano, they've already taken
the clinic and freed Tomitake.
**[01:49] ---**
Why didn't any of you tell me that?!
When did that happen?!
**[01:52] ---**
What the hell is going on, Okonogi?!
**[01:55] ---**
Commander, we're receiving a transmission
from the command vehicle.
**[01:59] ---**
Phoenix 1, over.
**[02:01] ---**
Final orders from Cuckoo, Commander.
**[02:03] ---**
Execute CUCKOO.
**[02:06] ---**
Roger that.
**[02:08] ---**
All units, the command vehicle
and clinic have been compromised.
**[02:13] ---**
Backup has been lost.
You have my permission to surrender.
**[02:18] ---**
Why are you telling them to surrender?!
**[02:20] ---**
Surrender your weapons and obey their orders.
**[02:23] ---**
The Mountain Dogs have been defeated.
**[02:28] ---**
No, we haven't! Get in touch
with Nomura-*san* in Tokyo!
**[02:32] ---**
She'll send in units who can
take care of those Bloodhounds!
**[02:35] ---**
And R is still alive!
We can still execute the final operation!
**[02:40] ---**
We need to tell Nomura-*san*!
**[02:42] ---**
There's still time! We can
come back from this, Okonogi!
**[02:46] ---**
But first, we need to recover
the command vehicle!
**[02:49] ---**
Major, our final operation has failed.
**[02:54] ---**
Our job here is done. As is yours, Major.
**[03:00] ---**
Wh-What the hell? What does that mean?!
**[03:04] ---**
Your job was to turn that scrapbook
into something of value.
**[03:08] ---**
Huh?
**[03:11] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?!
It's already extremely--
**[03:17] ---**
Major, nobody gives a damn
about the crap in that scrapbook.
**[03:22] ---**
That's ridiculous! Get your foot off it!
**[03:26] ---**
Our clients wanted to create
convoluted reports full of obtuse terminology,
**[03:30] ---**
then utilize that scrapbook
to give those reports credibility
**[03:35] ---**
and deceive certain bigwigs
who wouldn't bother reading them.
**[03:38] ---**
That was your only job.
**[03:41] ---**
Move your damn foot!
**[03:44] ---**
Nobody gave a shit about
Hinamizawa Syndrome or brain parasites.
**[03:50] ---**
They just wanted to use it
to gain a political edge.
**[03:53] ---**
And after all this, nobody will give a shit
about the nonsense in there again.
**[03:58] ---**
It's not nonsense! It's the truth, dammit!
Every last word of it!
**[04:03] ---**
My grandfather did his research,
and I continued it!
**[04:06] ---**
And through that,
we finally arrived at the truth--
**[04:11] ---**
Luckily, our clients in Tokyo still have
one more job for you to do, Major.
**[04:18] ---**
C'mon.
**[04:28] ---**
Wh-What is this?
**[04:30] ---**
Would you please use that gun
to blow your own brains out?
**[04:36] ---**
The captain must go down with the ship.
**[04:39] ---**
When you die, both us and our clients
can pin this entire operation on you.
**[04:45] ---**
D-Don't be ridiculous!
You can't expect me to just--
**[04:48] ---**
You don't have to do it yourself, I suppose.
**[04:53] ---**
I tried to talk you into surrendering,
but you refused and opened fire.
**[04:56] ---**
Unfortunately, while defending myself,
I killed you. That's our story.
**[05:01] ---**
I offered you that gun out of gratitude
for our many years as colleagues.
**[05:07] ---**
Wh-What kind of story is that?!
I won't have it! Whose idea was this?!
**[05:12] ---**
Your dear friend in Tokyo, Nomura-*san*,
who you wanted so badly to save you.
**[05:19] ---**
Nomura-*san*'s code name is Cuckoo,
and yours is Baby Bird, yes?
**[05:25] ---**
No, she can't...
**[05:28] ---**
Cuckoos lay their eggs
in the nests of other birds.
**[05:31] ---**
When they hatch,
**[05:33] ---**
the cuckoo shoves
the other bird's babies out of the nest.
**[05:39] ---**
The babies on the ground
are completely helpless,
**[05:41] ---**
and usually end up eaten
by wild mountain dogs or bloodhounds.
**[05:50] ---**
You never had any allies, Major.
**[05:55] ---**
Here.
**[05:57] ---**
Take your precious scrapbook.
**[06:03] ---**
Now, hold it with your left hand,
and take the gun with your right.
**[06:17] ---**
You have one bullet.
**[06:19] ---**
Open your mouth and fire
at the back of your throat.
**[06:25] ---**
Come now, hold it steady,
**[06:27] ---**
and die.
**[06:50] ---**
This is Takano.
**[06:52] ---**
It's me, Nomura.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
**[06:57] ---**
Nomura-*san*! Such a pleasure to hear from you.
**[07:00] ---**
How may I help you today?
**[07:02] ---**
I thought I'd check in
and see how things are going.
**[07:05] ---**
The date of our final operation
is swiftly approaching, after all.
**[07:10] ---**
We still have quite a while, don't we?
**[07:14] ---**
It sounds like you might have
some concerns about the plan.
**[07:17] ---**
No, of course not.
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
**[07:22] ---**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[07:24] ---**
I'd just like to remind you that
we've completed our groundwork.
**[07:29] ---**
You understand what I mean by that, yes?
**[07:32] ---**
Yes. It means no turning back:
we must see the plan through to the end.
**[07:37] ---**
No, that's incorrect.
**[07:39] ---**
It means that at the slightest hint
that something may go awry with this plan,
**[07:48] ---**
then we must immediately purge
all physical evidence of our plan,
**[07:51] ---**
effectively scrubbing it from existence.
**[07:53] ---**
This would involve branding
your grandfather's research
**[07:58] ---**
as no more than fanciful nonsense,
rendering it and him a laughingstock.
**[08:05] ---**
These parasites are unique to Hinamizawa...
**[08:09] ---**
Please, this is absolute drivel.
**[08:12] ---**
No, wait! There's more!
**[08:14] ---**
We only came here because Koizumi-*sensei*
asked us to hear you out.
**[08:20] ---**
Now that we've done just that, we're finished.
**[08:23] ---**
Listen, this sort of nonsense
is barely worth an academic audience.
**[08:29] ---**
What a waste of time.
**[08:31] ---**
If you're planning to spend the rest
of your life on this worthless research,
**[08:35] ---**
why not take up bonsai instead?
**[08:37] ---**
It's a wonderful hobby.
**[08:40] ---**
I'll give you this, it was certainly unique.
**[08:44] ---**
I can introduce you
to a publisher if you'd like.
**[08:46] ---**
These sorts of pieces are always a hit
with the general populace.
**[08:55] ---**
Here's your research back.
**[08:58] ---**
If only I could call it *real* research
with a straight face.
**[09:03] ---**
"Hinamizawa Syndrome:
Discussion and Hypotheses"
**[09:09] ---**
No!
**[09:10] ---**
Don't step on it! Don't step on it!
**[09:13] ---**
My grandpa worked so hard on that!
**[09:16] ---**
Don't step on it!
**[09:18] ---**
Please! He worked so hard on it!
You can't step on it!
**[09:22] ---**
Please excuse my granddaughter.
You're free to go.
**[09:40] ---**
I'm sorry. You've worked so hard
to help me with this, Miyo.
**[09:46] ---**
But it's all gone to waste.
**[09:50] ---**
I'm so sorry, Miyo.
**[09:55] ---**
Grandpa...
**[09:56] ---**
But of course, I know you won't
let that happen, right?
**[10:00] ---**
Of course not.
**[10:03] ---**
I'm glad to hear
everything's proceeding as planned.
**[10:07] ---**
Right, someone critical to
our first phase is headed to Hinamizawa:
**[10:11] ---**
Lieutenant Tomitake,
and he's right on schedule.
**[10:14] ---**
Proceed as planned. Those are your orders.
**[10:17] ---**
The preparations are in place.
**[10:20] ---**
All that remains is to inject him with
H173 under the guise of a prophylactic.
**[10:25] ---**
Excellent.
**[10:26] ---**
Lieutenant Tomitake's suspicious death
is vital to the success of our operation.
**[10:31] ---**
We'll speak again soon.
**[11:04] ---**
My apologies. I didn't mean to startle you.
**[11:10] ---**
I didn't mean to be startled.
**[11:13] ---**
Do you need me for something?
**[11:15] ---**
Satoko-*chan* will be stopping by
this afternoon for a check-up,
**[11:19] ---**
so I'd like to start preparing
for her appointment.
**[11:21] ---**
Oh.
**[11:23] ---**
Is that a photo album?
**[11:25] ---**
Yes. It belonged to my grandfather.
**[11:27] ---**
Your grandfather?
**[11:30] ---**
I knew about your parents, but...
**[11:33] ---**
I haven't looked at it since he died,
**[11:38] ---**
but for some reason,
I decided to bring it out today.
**[11:43] ---**
I'm sure this will sound childish,
**[11:46] ---**
but I promised to never open it
until I'd made our dream come true.
**[11:53] ---**
A dream you shared, then?
**[11:57] ---**
And yet I broke that promise today.
Why, I wonder?
**[12:02] ---**
Why did I want to see
his smiling face so badly?
**[12:09] ---**
I'll handle the appointment prep.
**[12:12] ---**
I'll be in the exam room if you need me.
**[12:51] ---**
"To Miyo"
**[12:54] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
**[12:56] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
I know I have to go every week,
**[12:58] ---**
but I'm absolutely miffed that I need
to go for a check-up on my day off.
**[13:01] ---**
Sure, but it's important.
**[13:03] ---**
We need to make sure the medicine
Irie's giving you is still working.
**[13:08] ---**
I've been on it for quite some time now,
**[13:11] ---**
yet I don't even know exactly
what he's giving me!
**[13:14] ---**
Oh...
**[13:16] ---**
I don't know, either.
Maybe you should ask Irie!
**[13:28] ---**
You're such a liar.
**[13:31] ---**
"Examination Room" "In Use"
**[13:32] ---**
"Examination Room"
"In Use"
Okay, last one. What do you see?
**[13:33] ---**
Okay, last one. What do you see?
**[13:37] ---**
Two butterflies.
**[13:39] ---**
They were apart for a long, long time,
but now they're happily together again.
**[13:45] ---**
From today's test,
I'd say everything's looking quite good.
**[13:48] ---**
I'm glad to hear that. It's all thanks to
the medicine Coach is giving me.
**[13:53] ---**
You might be able to stop taking
those shots very soon.
**[13:58] ---**
Then we could put an end to these tests, too.
**[14:04] ---**
You sure do hate tests,
don't you, Satoko-*chan*?
**[14:07] ---**
Or perhaps it's *me* you don't like?
**[14:11] ---**
No, it's not you.
**[14:15] ---**
Here's some good news, then.
I'm thinking of quitting my job here.
**[14:21] ---**
Huh?
**[14:24] ---**
Before this disease ravaging my brain
steals all I love from me...
**[14:32] ---**
While I can still remember that
you are precious family to me...
**[14:38] ---**
I wish to express my thoughts
to you in this letter.
**[14:43] ---**
It fills me with so much joy and pride to know
you are continuing my research
**[14:49] ---**
to accomplish what I could not.
**[14:52] ---**
But amidst that joy, I worry.
**[14:54] ---**
Have I or my research robbed you of
the wonderful life you could have had?
**[15:03] ---**
If so, then that joy would turn to sorrow.
**[15:08] ---**
I would want you to stop pursuing
that research altogether.
**[15:13] ---**
I could never voice these worries to you.
**[15:15] ---**
How could I, when you were so happy
to pursue medicine to better assist me?
**[15:23] ---**
I will leave that fate in the hands of God.
**[15:27] ---**
If you happen to find this letter,
**[15:31] ---**
then I want you to make
this wish of mine come true.
**[15:34] ---**
Please forgive me for being so weak
and entrusting this to the whims of fate.
**[15:40] ---**
To my beloved granddaughter, Miyo,
from your grandpa, Hifumi Takano.
**[15:50] ---**
I know nothing about your circumstances,
**[15:52] ---**
but you really intend to quit your job?
**[15:55] ---**
To be completely honest,
I'm not really sure myself.
**[16:00] ---**
But it seems as if a group
of people are using my passion
**[16:03] ---**
to help them achieve
their own malaligned goals.
**[16:07] ---**
So they plan to dispose of you,
like ingredients in soup stock?
**[16:12] ---**
It would seem so, yes.
**[16:15] ---**
After all, once the stock is made,
you throw them away.
**[16:18] ---**
Come now, once the stock is made,
**[16:21] ---**
you can use the ingredients
to make something else, can't you?
**[16:25] ---**
But once they've been used for stock,
**[16:28] ---**
you can't cook them
like fresh ingredients, can you?
**[16:32] ---**
I suppose you're right.
**[16:34] ---**
What should I do now?
**[16:38] ---**
I don't know anymore.
**[16:43] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th, 1983"
**[16:49] ---**
Kei-*chan*, over here!
**[16:51] ---**
Hurry up, or you'll miss Rika's dance!
**[16:55] ---**
I'm trying, but all these people
came outta nowhere!
**[17:01] ---**
How unbecoming of you, Keiichi-*san*!
**[17:04] ---**
You'll never be our next club president
with such lacking abilities!
**[17:07] ---**
Wait, next club president?
**[17:09] ---**
I said nothing of the sort!
**[17:11] ---**
Now, pardon me!
**[17:17] ---**
C'mon, Kei-*chan*! You're gonna get left behind!
**[17:20] ---**
You can do it, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[17:22] ---**
Dammit, guys!
**[17:24] ---**
No, c'mon, Keiichi Maebara, stay cool!
**[17:34] ---**
I made it.
**[17:36] ---**
Good going, Kei-*chan*.
**[17:37] ---**
Huh? Where's Satoko?
**[17:39] ---**
She went to ditch me,
now *she's* the one who's missing!
**[17:42] ---**
What is wrong with that girl?
**[17:45] ---**
I'm sure she's watching from somewhere else.
**[17:47] ---**
Yeah! Satoko wouldn't miss this.
**[17:59] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[18:01] ---**
Are you satisfied?
**[18:03] ---**
Yes. Now I'll have no regrets.
**[18:06] ---**
You should have come in
and taken a look.
**[18:10] ---**
I'm not too good
with those sorts of things.
**[18:13] ---**
I was planning on going down
to take pictures of the cotton drifting,
**[18:17] ---**
so if you'd like...
**[18:19] ---**
Jiro-*san*.
**[18:21] ---**
There's something I need to tell you.
**[18:24] ---**
Wait, what? What is it?
**[18:28] ---**
I've gotten involved in a conspiracy of sorts.
**[18:33] ---**
They're calling it the "final operation."
**[18:43] ---**
Retriever Leader to all units!
**[18:45] ---**
Give a status report once you've gained
control over your respective sites!
**[18:48] ---**
I repeat, Retriever Leader to all units!
**[18:50] ---**
Give a status report once you've gained...
**[18:52] ---**
A world in which the rules of
the cat's tragedy no longer exist?
**[18:59] ---**
Fascinating. I never expected my power
could be used to achieve such results.
**[19:05] ---**
It's no laughing matter.
**[19:08] ---**
If Rika longs to escape, then the world
becomes a birdcage spanning a century.
**[19:13] ---**
If I long for Rika to stay,
that birdcage opens and sets her free.
**[19:18] ---**
Wishes are not so easily
granted in Hinamizawa.
**[19:23] ---**
As I've said before, the accumulation
of memories cannot be undone.
**[19:27] ---**
No matter how many times
you loop through these worlds,
**[19:31] ---**
that birdcage is no longer certain
to hold the cat prisoner.
**[19:34] ---**
That won't do.
**[19:36] ---**
Rika is a priestess of Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[19:40] ---**
Wishing to abandon
her village is an unforgivable sin.
**[19:44] ---**
I will not forgive her this sin, either.
**[19:48] ---**
Then will you take on the name
of Oyashiro-*sama* and enact *your* curse?
**[19:53] ---**
Yes. I will ensnare Rika in an endless cycle
of tragedy once more.
**[19:59] ---**
Through that cycle, she will learn.
**[20:02] ---**
As long as she wishes to abandon Hinamizawa,
**[20:06] ---**
the endless cycle of tragedy will continue.
**[20:12] ---**
Just as Takano gives upon her desire
to become a God herself,
**[20:15] ---**
you declare your will to do just that!
**[20:20] ---**
I never tire of your antics.
**[20:23] ---**
Now then, Oyashiro-*sama*,
how do you plan to enact your curse upon her?
**[20:30] ---**
I already know how it can be done.
**[20:39] ---**
Honestly, I'd planned on
heading out to do that right away.
**[20:42] ---**
I knew you cared more about chasing
after birds than getting your shot.
**[20:49] ---**
Wait here. I'll go get ready.
**[21:21] ---**
"Operating Room"
**[21:32] ---**
Sorry. I must have left
the prophylactics in my room.
**[21:36] ---**
I'll be right back.
**[21:38] ---**
Sure thing.
**[22:14] ---**
Now, you control whether a tragedy
occurs or not, as well as whom it strikes.
**[22:22] ---**
But will you truly feel no guilt
for using this method?
**[22:26] ---**
None at all.
**[22:28] ---**
After all, there won't be any tragedy
in the world where Rika and I are together.
**[22:36] ---**
Anything that happens in other fragments
never *really* happens, right?
**[22:40] ---**
The world I choose in the end is
the only world that truly exists.
**[22:45] ---**
The previous worlds are worth
no more than dreams or hallucinations.
**[22:50] ---**
You truly possess the competencies
to excel as one who lives in loops.
**[22:55] ---**
How many times must I tell you, Eua-*san*?
**[23:00] ---**
Once I decide to win, my victory is certain.
**[23:04] ---**
I *will* live with Rika together in Hinamizawa.
**[23:07] ---**
As long as that is the goal I wish to achieve,
**[23:10] ---**
then that future is *certain* to come to pass.
**[23:17] ---**
Wait for me, Rika! My dear, beloved Rika!
**[23:22] ---**
Our happy world is within our reach!

Oh, nothing!

"Friday, June 10th"
**[01:11] ---**
"Friday, June 10th"
Rika, no matter how many times
you check the calendar,
**[01:14] ---**
until you change your mind
and accept Hinamizawa in your heart...
**[01:19] ---**
...you will never escape June of 1983.
**[02:53] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry SOTSU"
**[03:11] ---**
I'm heading out, Dad.
**[03:15] ---**
Stay safe... oof.
**[03:19] ---**
Are you okay? Want me to bring you
some water, or some medicine?
**[03:24] ---**
No, I'm fine.
**[03:27] ---**
I just had a bit too much
to drink last night in Okinomiya.
**[03:31] ---**
Were you drinking with Rina-*san* again?
**[03:34] ---**
Yeah, she's really great.
**[03:37] ---**
You know, if you want,
I'd love for you to meet her, Reina.
**[03:41] ---**
Oh, look at the time!
**[03:43] ---**
I'm gonna be late meeting up
with my friends. See you later!
**[03:45] ---**
S-Sure.
**[03:56] ---**
"Hinamizawa"
**[04:01] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Good morning!
**[04:05] ---**
Why are you always here so early?
**[04:07] ---**
You can sleep in
every now and then, you know.
**[04:17] ---**
Hey, there they are.
You guys sure took your sweet time!
**[04:20] ---**
Says the girl who always
takes her sweet time.
**[04:23] ---**
Morning, Mii-*chan*!
**[04:25] ---**
Morning, Rena.
**[04:32] ---**
This is quite the elaborate trap
you're setting today!
**[04:35] ---**
My, whatever do you mean?
**[04:39] ---**
Creating multiple webs to ensnare
your hapless enemy...
**[04:43] ---**
...is the utmost essence of trap-setting!
**[04:47] ---**
Clap, clap, clap!
You're so good at this, Satoko!
**[04:51] ---**
Here he comes!
**[04:52] ---**
Trying to test my skills, are you?
**[04:55] ---**
"Today's Helper: Satoko Hojo"
What's going on, guys?
**[04:57] ---**
"Today's Helper: Satoko Hojo"
Stay back, Rena! She's here!
**[04:59] ---**
"Today's Helper: Satoko Hojo"
Huh? By she, you mean...
**[05:01] ---**
Look!
**[05:02] ---**
Could this be any more obvious,
Satoko Hojo?!
**[05:18] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
He's starting his day off rough!
**[05:24] ---**
Satoko!
**[05:27] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
**[05:30] ---**
Thanks for hanging out
with me, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[05:33] ---**
Did you have fun today?
**[05:34] ---**
Yeah, loads! I'm kinda bummed
we're all going home.
**[05:38] ---**
Okay, well... would it be okay if we stopped
somewhere on our way back? Would it?
**[05:43] ---**
Sure, but where?
**[05:44] ---**
"NO TRESPASSING"
**[05:48] ---**
Wonder what's here, wonder what's here!
**[05:56] ---**
You wanted to go climb
a pile of trash, Rena?
**[05:59] ---**
It's not trash! To me, it's a pile of treasure!
**[06:04] ---**
Maybe I'll find something kyute...
I can't wait, I can't wait!
**[06:08] ---**
Hey, hold up!
**[06:12] ---**
It's okay, you just wait over there, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[06:16] ---**
Sheesh.
**[06:28] ---**
Something kyute, something kyute...
**[06:38] ---**
I knew it! A Kenta-*kun*!
**[06:41] ---**
But he's stuck... how do I get him out?
**[06:46] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[06:47] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm all done!
**[06:53] ---**
Tomitake-*san*?
**[07:06] ---**
That Kenta-*kun* was so kyute!
**[07:11] ---**
What's wrong, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[07:13] ---**
Huh? O-Oh, just sad we couldn't
bring him home for you.
**[07:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:21] ---**
If I'd been there, I would've...
**[07:24] ---**
...grabbed 'im by the arm
and yanked him outta there!
**[07:28] ---**
No way! You would've ripped
Kenta-*kun*'s arm off!
**[07:34] ---**
Y-Yeah, we wouldn't want that.
Want him to have all his arms.
**[07:40] ---**
I-It's fine! I promised, remember?
I'm gonna help you get him home.
**[07:47] ---**
Thank you! I get to
take him home *with* you!
**[07:54] ---**
See you later.
**[07:55] ---**
Yup! See you tomorrow!
**[08:04] ---**
I'm back.
**[08:07] ---**
Hey. Welcome back, Reina.
**[08:10] ---**
You're heading out
right now, Dad? It's so late.
**[08:13] ---**
Yeah, she called and said
she wanted to see me, so...
**[08:17] ---**
I'll try not to be out too late.
**[08:19] ---**
Her again?
**[08:21] ---**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[08:23] ---**
Nope! It's dark out, so be careful.
**[08:27] ---**
Right. I'll be careful, don't worry.
**[08:31] ---**
I'll be back, Reina.
**[08:34] ---**
Have fun, Dad.
**[08:45] ---**
I can't be so down in the dumps.
**[08:48] ---**
The whole reason I dropped
the "i" from my name
**[08:50] ---**
was so I could forget all
the *icky* things that happened.
**[09:15] ---**
"Gentlemen's Club" "NO. 23 Rina"
**[09:23] ---**
"Monday, June 13th"
**[09:32] ---**
You'll never beat me in a race, Rika!
**[09:37] ---**
But we're not racing!
We're on a scavenger hunt!
**[09:40] ---**
I can still win this!
**[09:44] ---**
Guess there'll be no hard feelings
about whoever wins, then!
**[09:49] ---**
I'll give it everything I've got!
**[09:58] ---**
Knowing Mii-*chan*, she probably put it
somewhere Keiichi-*kun* would never find it!
**[10:09] ---**
"STORAGE"
**[10:23] ---**
--Rena!
--Keiichi-*kun*!
**[10:28] ---**
Rika!
**[10:29] ---**
I knew you'd be here, Satoko.
Great minds think alike!
**[10:35] ---**
Oh, dear. That makes this
a race now, doesn't it?
**[10:40] ---**
You've got no time for "nipah" s now!
**[10:48] ---**
--Pardon me!
--I'm taking the lead!
**[10:55] ---**
I don't think so!
**[11:06] ---**
Sounds like *someone* just won!
**[11:09] ---**
You're still no match for
my ingenious traps, sweet, little Rika!
**[11:15] ---**
Satoko, I think that's enough...
**[11:19] ---**
It's okay, I lost. I'm not mad about it at all.
**[11:25] ---**
In fact, I've got a present
for you for winning, Satoko!
**[11:28] ---**
Oh, Rika, I knew you,
of all people, would understand!
**[11:30] ---**
Congratulations, Satoko!
**[11:41] ---**
Wh-What on Earth just happened?!
**[11:44] ---**
Satoko, look at your face...
**[11:50] ---**
What in the world?!
**[11:52] ---**
I brought it to fight back
against your traps, Satoko!
**[11:57] ---**
Looks like you're no match for Rika-*chan*.
**[12:01] ---**
Rena?
**[12:03] ---**
Oh, sorry, maybe I'm just tired
from all this fun! I'm a little exhausted.
**[12:09] ---**
You okay?
**[12:09] ---**
Yeah. I think I'm gonna go rest
in the nurse's office then go home.
**[12:13] ---**
--Poor Kenta-*kun*...
--Don't worry!
**[12:16] ---**
Once you're feeling better,
I'll come help out!
**[12:28] ---**
I'm going to go wash my face.
**[12:30] ---**
There's no way I can go out
in public like this!
**[12:38] ---**
Guess that's it for today.
**[13:07] ---**
Please forgive me, Rena-*san*.
**[13:11] ---**
This is all Rika's fault,
that ignorant fool.
**[13:21] ---**
I promise to create a Hinamizawa
where you're happy.
**[13:25] ---**
Where you'll smile and laugh every day.
**[13:30] ---**
So forgive me, Rena-*san*,
**[13:32] ---**
and everyone else
who's about to experience this.
**[13:45] ---**
I'm so terribly sorry.
**[13:59] ---**
Satoko-*chan*?
**[14:03] ---**
Is someone in here?
**[14:13] ---**
I've gotta get home.
**[14:56] ---**
I'm home.
**[15:05] ---**
"I had to run to Okinomiya--
something suddenly came up.
--Dad"
**[15:26] ---**
Our savings...
**[15:29] ---**
This is the settlement money
Mom gave Dad in the divorce.
**[15:35] ---**
We're not supposed to touch it
unless it's an emergency!
**[15:38] ---**
Why?!
**[15:50] ---**
Reina-*chan*,
**[15:52] ---**
do you remember the man
who came with us to dinner?
**[15:56] ---**
Yeah, Uncle Akihito?
**[15:59] ---**
Oh, I have to stop calling him Uncle,
or he's gonna hit me!
**[16:04] ---**
Reina-*chan*, do you like Akihito-*san*?
**[16:07] ---**
I hate him! He always teases me.
**[16:11] ---**
Well, that's because he likes you.
**[16:15] ---**
You got along well
at the barbeque, though!
**[16:19] ---**
Sometimes he's okay. Sometimes.
**[16:24] ---**
Reina-*chan*, who do you like better--
me, or your father?
**[16:29] ---**
You, because you let me
eat these yummy parfaits!
**[16:34] ---**
If I went to live in a different house
than your father...
**[16:42] ---**
...who would you want to live with?
**[16:45] ---**
Uh... Huh?
**[16:48] ---**
I'm thinking...
**[16:51] ---**
...about divorcing your father
and getting married to Akihito-*san*.
**[16:56] ---**
Why?! You don't like Dad anymore?!
**[17:03] ---**
Poor Dad! He didn't do anything wrong!
**[17:08] ---**
He did *everything* for you
so you could focus on work!
**[17:13] ---**
And now you're going to leave him?!
I hate you!
**[17:17] ---**
I'm sorry, it's too late.
**[17:20] ---**
Why?! You haven't told Dad yet, right?!
It's not too late!
**[17:28] ---**
It is.
**[17:30] ---**
I'm pregnant.
**[17:32] ---**
Huh...?
**[17:35] ---**
"Divorce Settlement Agreement"
"Reiko Ryugu"
**[17:37] ---**
"Divorce Settlement Agreement"
"Reiko Ryugu"
And that's that.
**[17:39] ---**
Remember--now, not only are you
not allowed to meet your ex-wife,
**[17:42] ---**
you also cannot contact her
for any reason.
**[17:44] ---**
You agreed upon these terms,
so do not violate them.
**[18:01] ---**
Reina?
**[18:04] ---**
Do you know the man she left me for?
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:10] ---**
He's a funny man who gives me candy.
**[18:26] ---**
I'm sorry! I-I'm so sorry, Reina!
**[18:31] ---**
Up until that moment, I believed...
**[18:35] ---**
...that I had to be nice to *everyone*,
no matter what.
**[18:39] ---**
But then I learned something.
**[18:42] ---**
There are some bad people in the
world who don't deserve kindness.
**[18:47] ---**
I shouldn't have been nice to him.
**[18:53] ---**
Uncle Akihito was a bad person.
**[18:56] ---**
I should've shunned him.
Because he was a bad person!
**[19:00] ---**
If I'd shunned him,
our family wouldn't have broken apart!
**[19:04] ---**
But it did, because I didn't
work hard enough!
**[19:10] ---**
And now it's falling apart again.
**[19:15] ---**
I have to work hard,
or my family will fall apart again.
**[19:20] ---**
I have to do something.
**[19:22] ---**
I have to do *something*.
**[19:30] ---**
"Flower Road"
**[19:43] ---**
Hey there, buddy! Wanna take a load off?
We got real cuties inside!
**[19:47] ---**
We'll be here all night!
**[19:50] ---**
Whoa, hold on there, sweetheart!
**[19:52] ---**
--Can I--
--No, no, no!
**[19:54] ---**
Come back when
you're older, mmkay?
**[20:07] ---**
Can I get a black tea?
**[20:22] ---**
What am I doing out here?
**[20:30] ---**
You sure you should be leaving
your favorite customer
**[20:31] ---**
all alone back there, Rina?
**[20:34] ---**
C'mon, he's blacked-out drunk.
I don't wanna wake him up.
**[20:38] ---**
I ordered a bunch of expensive drinks,
**[20:41] ---**
so he'll wake up, pay for them,
and head back to Hinamizawa.
**[20:46] ---**
You're getting him to pay for booze
you're not even gonna drink?
**[20:49] ---**
God, what a sucker.
**[20:51] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[20:53] ---**
Apparently, he's got boatloads of cash
from when his wife divorced him,
**[20:58] ---**
and he'll jump to pay for anything I want.
**[21:00] ---**
He sure is earning you a pretty penny.
**[21:03] ---**
I bet if you told him, "I gotta pay
off my ex..." he'd fork it all over!
**[21:10] ---**
Probably.
**[21:14] ---**
Seriously, talk about a sucker!
**[21:16] ---**
Ohmigosh, do you know any guys
who'd wanna help out?
**[21:22] ---**
Sheesh, you look pretty depressed
for a girl with her own personal ATM.
**[21:27] ---**
Well, he's got a teenage daughter.
**[21:33] ---**
So what?
**[21:34] ---**
I was raised by a single parent too, so...
I kinda sympathize.
**[21:38] ---**
Maybe it's time to break things off.
**[21:40] ---**
What? What happened to
the Rina I thought I knew?
**[21:43] ---**
Nothing. Just if he gets any more serious,
it's gonna be a pain for me.
**[21:49] ---**
I have to work harder.
**[21:54] ---**
I have to work even harder.
**[21:58] ---**
I have to work harder.
**[21:59] ---**
I have to work harder.

**[02:13] ---**
Morning, Reina.
**[02:16] ---**
Morning, Dad.
**[02:19] ---**
Here, have some water.
**[02:21] ---**
Hey, thanks.
**[02:30] ---**
So, Reina,
**[02:32] ---**
what are you going to do with
those things from the hardware store?
**[02:34] ---**
Huh?
**[02:35] ---**
Oh, I just saw a bag from
the hardware store in your room.
**[02:39] ---**
You went all the way out
to Okinomiya for that, right?
**[02:42] ---**
Oh, right...
**[02:44] ---**
I found this really cute statue
out at the dam construction dump,
**[02:49] ---**
and it's super big, so I needed
some stuff to help bring it home.
**[02:53] ---**
Okay. Guess our little garden display's
gonna get bigger, then...
**[02:58] ---**
Don't hurt yourself now, okay?
**[03:00] ---**
Okay. You don't have
to worry about me, Dad.
**[03:20] ---**
No one will find these here.
**[03:27] ---**
What is taking Rena so long?
**[03:29] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[03:32] ---**
Morning!
**[03:33] ---**
There you are. Way to be late, Rena!
**[03:36] ---**
Sorry! I hope you weren't waiting long!
**[03:38] ---**
I sure was! A few seconds more
and I would've totally ditched you.
**[03:44] ---**
But you promised you'd *never* ditch me!
**[03:48] ---**
But I also said I'd ditch you
in a heartbeat if you were late.
**[03:51] ---**
You're so mean, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[03:55] ---**
I know I said you should sleep in
every now and then,
**[03:59] ---**
but I didn't think you actually *would*.
**[04:02] ---**
Yeah. You never sleep in, Rena.
**[04:04] ---**
My, you slept in this morning?
How slovenly!
**[04:08] ---**
If you sleep in too long with your
belly out, you'll get a tummyache!
**[04:13] ---**
I didn't sleep in, promise!
**[04:15] ---**
I just had to do some stuff this morning.
**[04:17] ---**
What had you so busy?
**[04:20] ---**
We can help out if you want!
**[04:23] ---**
No, it's something I have to do by myself.
**[04:29] ---**
All right. I know you'll
be able to handle it, Rena.
**[04:32] ---**
Chin up, okay?
**[04:35] ---**
Yep, thanks!
**[04:37] ---**
Oh, also, I can't do club today...
**[04:40] ---**
Is it okay if I take the afternoon off?
**[04:42] ---**
Well, if you're gonna be busy,
then I can't say you gotta come.
**[04:46] ---**
The weather report said
we might get rain, too,
**[04:50] ---**
so let's just call it off for today.
**[04:52] ---**
After all, club's no fun
without everyone here.

Hello there.
**[05:56] ---**
Sorry for dropping by unannounced.
**[05:59] ---**
So, uh, are you Reina-*chan*?
**[06:03] ---**
Oh, jeez, how do I even start...
**[06:07] ---**
I'm friends with your dad.
**[06:12] ---**
Oh, right! I should
introduce myself first. Yeah.
**[06:16] ---**
I know who you are.
You're Rina Mamiya-*san*.
**[06:20] ---**
So you *do* know me.
**[06:22] ---**
Uh-huh. My dad says you're really great.
**[06:27] ---**
Your dad's really great too, Reina-*chan*.
**[06:31] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:33] ---**
What do you need from him here, though?
**[06:36] ---**
I didn't really need anything.
**[06:38] ---**
Your dad talks so much about you,
**[06:40] ---**
I thought I might come meet you myself.
**[06:44] ---**
So you came here to see me? Oh, yay!
**[06:48] ---**
I've actually been wanting
to meet you, too.
**[06:52] ---**
So you're happy I'm here!
**[06:54] ---**
I'm really glad to hear that.
I'd hoped we could be friends.
**[06:59] ---**
I know! Could you help me
look for treasure, Rina-*san*?
**[07:04] ---**
Look for treasure? That sounds fun.
**[07:08] ---**
Yeah! It's a little bit of a walk, though.
**[07:10] ---**
Is it far away?
I hope it doesn't start raining.
**[07:14] ---**
The weather report
said it's not gonna rain.
**[07:18] ---**
Really! Okay, then.
**[07:20] ---**
I'll come help. It'll be a good chance
for us to get to know each other.
**[07:23] ---**
Yay! Wait here, then.
I need to get some stuff!
**[07:32] ---**
Thanks for waiting.
**[07:39] ---**
What's that?
**[07:42] ---**
Just something we'll need to dig up
the treasure we're after!
**[07:45] ---**
Wow, this is serious business!
**[07:49] ---**
Let's go, Rina-*san*!
**[07:54] ---**
Wow, Reina-*chan*.
**[07:57] ---**
Do you come here a lot?
With your friends, I assume?
**[08:01] ---**
No, I come here by myself!
**[08:06] ---**
Interesting hobby for a teenage girl...
**[08:09] ---**
Sheesh, never knew they dumped
this much garbage here...
**[08:13] ---**
What kind of treasure are we looking for?
**[08:18] ---**
Reina-*chan*? Hello?
**[08:20] ---**
Oh, sorry! I couldn't hear you.
Maybe the wind's blowing too hard.
**[08:28] ---**
Oh.
**[08:31] ---**
Don't tell anyone,
but this is my secret hideout.
**[08:35] ---**
Wow, it's so cute!
You've got a little secret base out here!
**[08:41] ---**
That's right.
**[08:43] ---**
Nobody comes here, and nobody
can hear what happens here, either.
**[08:49] ---**
Well, I feel honored that you'd
take me to such a special place.
**[08:56] ---**
So what are we looking for again?
**[08:58] ---**
I worked really hard to get
all the right tools stored here.
**[09:02] ---**
Let me get them.
**[09:05] ---**
Sure, that makes sense.
**[09:08] ---**
Can I come in?
**[09:09] ---**
Please wait outside, Rina-*san*.
**[09:20] ---**
This is so cool!
**[09:23] ---**
It really is like a little secret base!
You even have cushions!
**[09:29] ---**
You could totally sleep in here, huh?
**[09:31] ---**
I thought I told you to wait outside.
**[09:34] ---**
I would, but it just started raining.
**[09:36] ---**
Can't trust that weatherman, huh?
**[09:40] ---**
Oh!
**[09:44] ---**
Does this lamp work?
**[09:46] ---**
Yeah. They never shut off
the electricity from the dam work.
**[09:58] ---**
Look, Reina-*chan*,
I should've mentioned this earlier...
**[10:03] ---**
Mentioned what?
**[10:04] ---**
You should know about your dad and I.
**[10:07] ---**
I said he was my friend, right?
**[10:10] ---**
Well, he's actually my customer
at this club where we drink alcohol.
**[10:14] ---**
I know.
**[10:15] ---**
My dad always comes home
stinking of booze.
**[10:21] ---**
Right. Of course you'd know--
you're his daughter and you live with him.
**[10:27] ---**
I was also raised by a single parent,
so when I heard about you, I just...
**[10:33] ---**
I know I have no right
to ask this of you...
**[10:37] ---**
But I feel really guilty
about him coming to the club.
**[10:41] ---**
Could you say something to him
and convince him to stop coming?
**[10:50] ---**
Yeah, I really have no right
asking you to handle it, do I?
**[10:53] ---**
But I'll help, too.
I'll stay away from him.
**[10:57] ---**
Could you help?
It'll be good for you, too.
**[11:01] ---**
Reina-*chan*?
**[11:02] ---**
I understand what you're
trying to say, Rina-*san*.
**[11:06] ---**
Good.
**[11:10] ---**
You're kinda hurting me, Reina-*chan*.
**[11:17] ---**
Y-You're hurting me!
**[11:19] ---**
You might have my dad fooled,
but you can't fool me!
**[11:23] ---**
What? No...
**[11:27] ---**
I'm doing what's right!
**[11:30] ---**
I'm doing what needs to be done
to make sure everyone's happy!
**[11:33] ---**
My life story is all about
how hard I worked!
**[11:36] ---**
so I need to work much, much, *much* harder!
**[12:10] ---**
No!
**[12:29] ---**
Help! Please, somebody help!
**[12:54] ---**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[12:57] ---**
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
**[13:00] ---**
Don't kill me. Don't kill me.
**[13:02] ---**
Don't kill me, don't kill me...
**[13:05] ---**
Don't kill me, don't kill me...
**[13:07] ---**
Don't kill me! Don't kill me!
**[13:56] ---**
Rena-*san*...
**[13:58] ---**
If you can convince
Rika to stay in Hinamizawa,
**[14:01] ---**
I promise that you'll be happy
in that perfect world.
**[14:17] ---**
Now I gotta...
**[14:24] ---**
See, Dad? This time, I put in the effort.
**[14:28] ---**
I got rid of the bad people
who wanted to hurt our family!
**[14:42] ---**
I gotta hide her.
**[14:44] ---**
So nobody finds her.
**[14:48] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th"
**[14:56] ---**
All right, school is finally over!
**[14:59] ---**
Let's get game club started!
Any objections?
**[15:03] ---**
--Nope!
--Nope!
**[15:04] ---**
Since the gang's all here...
Wait, what's up, Rena?
**[15:07] ---**
Sorry, Mii-*chan*, I have
to do stuff again today!
**[15:10] ---**
Man, again?
**[15:12] ---**
Yeah, sorry!
**[15:14] ---**
You leave all the time
to go to work, too, Mion!
**[15:18] ---**
Yeah, I just can't say no
when my Uncle asks for my help.
**[15:23] ---**
I'll give it everything I've got,
and when I'm finished,
**[15:26] ---**
when everything is back to the way it was,
I'll be back, I promise!
**[15:29] ---**
Dunno what you've gotta do,
but we'll be here waiting.
**[15:33] ---**
This old fart and all your friends
are in your corner!
**[15:36] ---**
Right. See you tomorrow!
**[15:41] ---**
I think I know what Rena's up to...
**[15:45] ---**
Really? You do?
**[15:48] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[15:56] ---**
Good, she's still here.
**[16:00] ---**
Yo, Rena! Working up a sweat?
**[16:07] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?! Why are you here?!
**[16:10] ---**
I received word of an emergency
in the area and rushed to the scene!
**[16:13] ---**
Where's the man in need
of grave assistance?!
**[16:15] ---**
Huh?! What?! An emergency?!
**[16:17] ---**
Yes, a report about a Kenta-*kun* statue
buried deep in a pile of trash?
**[16:22] ---**
O-Oh! C'mon, Keiichi-*kun*, you scared me!
**[16:27] ---**
I'm just messing around.
I promised I'd help, remember?
**[16:30] ---**
You came all the way here for me?
**[16:36] ---**
So where's that Kenta-*kun* at?
**[16:40] ---**
Over here!
**[16:42] ---**
Down there?
**[16:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:57] ---**
Man, I wish we had an axe
or a saw or something.
**[17:00] ---**
It's fine, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[17:02] ---**
I don't mind, Rena. You want it, right?
**[17:10] ---**
O-Okay, let's take a break.
**[17:12] ---**
H-Hey, let me go get us some barley tea!
My house is super close!
**[17:23] ---**
He saw. Keiichi-*kun* saw.
**[17:27] ---**
He saw, he saw, he saw, he saw!
**[17:30] ---**
Keiichi-*kun* knows!
**[17:32] ---**
What should I do?
What should I do? What should I *do*?!
**[17:37] ---**
I know. I just have to work even *harder*.
**[17:57] ---**
"Weekly News"
"Construction Worker Lynched,
Murdered, and Dismembered
at Hinamizawa Dam Construction Site"
**[18:00] ---**
"At the construction site for
the planned Hinamizawa Dam,
**[18:03] ---**
a construction worker was lynched,
murdered, then dismembered"?!
**[18:08] ---**
I knew it! Something did happen!
**[18:13] ---**
"The assailants, armed with hatchets
and pickaxes, murdered the victim,
**[18:18] ---**

**[18:31] ---**
I-I'm so sorry! Did I scare you? Did I?
**[18:35] ---**
N-No.
**[18:36] ---**
H-Hey, Keiichi-*kun*! Remember how
you said you wish you had a saw?
**[18:42] ---**
I brought something that might help!
**[18:45] ---**
Oh. Sorry, I guess I kinda overreacted.
**[18:53] ---**
No, it's okay!
I'm sorry to scare you, so sorry!
**[18:56] ---**
I'm really glad you brought it,
but it's getting pretty dark.
**[18:59] ---**
We should probably call it here today.
**[19:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:02] ---**
Don't worry, Rena!
We can come back tomorrow!
**[19:07] ---**
You wanna help me again?
**[19:08] ---**
Why wouldn't I?
**[19:10] ---**
Thank you, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[19:13] ---**
I'm gonna bring Kenta-*kun* home!
**[19:27] ---**
Oh, hey there, Rena-*chan*!
**[19:29] ---**
Oh, Keiichi's mom! Hello!
**[19:32] ---**
Shopping for dinner?
**[19:35] ---**
And for tomorrow's lunch, yeah.
**[19:38] ---**
You're such a good kid, Rena-*chan*!
**[19:40] ---**
Keiichi couldn't cook to save his life.
**[19:43] ---**
If I ever have to stay late at work,
I might ask you to cook for him!
**[19:49] ---**
Sure, ma'am!
**[20:00] ---**
Excuse me, there.
Are you Ryugu-*san*? Reina Ryugu-*san*?
**[20:07] ---**
Yes, and you are?
**[20:10] ---**
Oh, good. Why don't we talk
in my car? It's pretty hot out.
**[20:18] ---**
I've got air conditioning in my car.
**[20:24] ---**
Tell me if it's too cold, okay?
I like to blast it.
**[20:29] ---**
What do you want from me?
**[20:32] ---**
Do you know this woman?
**[20:35] ---**
Yes, that's Rina Mamiya-*san*.
**[20:38] ---**
Ah, that would be her club name.
**[20:41] ---**
Her real name is Ritsuko Mamiya-*san*.
**[20:44] ---**
Did something happen with Rina-*san*?
**[20:46] ---**
Yes, she's been missing since yesterday.
**[20:49] ---**
--Since yesterday?
--Does that ring any bells?
**[20:53] ---**
She came to our house yesterday.
**[20:56] ---**
See, I thought so.
**[20:59] ---**
Her coworkers told me
she'd gone to Hinamizawa
**[21:03] ---**
to visit the daughter
of one of her customers...
**[21:07] ---**
We're trying to retrace her steps.
**[21:10] ---**
I don't know what happened
after she stopped by.
**[21:13] ---**
We talked for a little bit,
and then she left.
**[21:16] ---**
I see. What were you talking about,
if you don't mind telling me?
**[21:20] ---**
Rina-*san* wanted to be my friend because
we were both raised by single parents.
**[21:25] ---**
That's it.
**[21:26] ---**
Is that so?
**[21:28] ---**
Well, if you think of anything else,
**[21:31] ---**
call the Okinomiya Police
and ask for Ooishi.
**[21:34] ---**
Okay.
**[21:37] ---**
It's almost time
for Watanagashi, isn't it?
**[21:41] ---**
I hope we get a reprieve this year.
**[21:45] ---**
From Oyashiro-isama's curse, I mean.
**[21:52] ---**
Have a good night.

**[04:56] ---**
much, much, much harder!
**[05:02] ---**
I've gotta work so much harder!
**[05:06] ---**
"Friday, June 17th"
**[05:09] ---**
We've got big plans this year!
**[05:10] ---**
The hallmark of our club,
the Watanagashi Four-Demon Battle Royale!
**[05:13] ---**
What kind of name is that?
**[05:15] ---**
Though I guess it'll be a Five-Demon
Battle Royale with Keiichi joining us.
**[05:21] ---**
You'll have the sublime opportunity
to demonstrate all you've learned with us!
**[05:25] ---**
Which means we'll be going around the
festival stalls and playing club games.
**[05:31] ---**
Is that it?
**[05:33] ---**
Well, now I'm getting
kinda excited for it!
**[05:52] ---**
There!
**[05:54] ---**
Now everything will be okay!
**[05:56] ---**
Nobody knows she's here,
not even the police!
**[05:59] ---**
Nobody...
**[06:00] ---**
Yo, Rena! Working up a sweat?
**[06:05] ---**
I've worked so hard,
but it's still not enough.
**[06:08] ---**
Or is our family still being punished...
**[06:14] ---**
...for breaking the rules
and leaving Hinamizawa?
**[06:21] ---**
Please. Please, I'm begging you.
**[06:25] ---**
Tell me how much longer
this curse will last.
**[06:28] ---**
Please...
**[06:30] ---**
Please forgive me, Oyashiro-*sama*!
**[06:34] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[06:42] ---**
Hey there, kids. You look like
you're having a good time.
**[06:45] ---**
Good evening, though I must say!
**[06:47] ---**
Photographing a lady without permission
**[06:49] ---**
is quite the breach of etiquette!
**[06:52] ---**
That's right, though I don't know
why he'd need *your* permiss--
**[08:33] ---**
Who's Oyashiro-*sama*?
**[08:34] ---**
It's the guardian deity of Hinamizawa.
**[08:37] ---**
That's why it's really important
to pay your respects to it.
**[08:41] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[08:43] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[08:46] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*...
**[08:49] ---**
Thank you, Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[09:08] ---**
How far did she go to find everyone?
**[09:22] ---**
Which is it? Did Keiichi-*kun* see, or not?
**[09:28] ---**
Did he or didn't he?
**[09:33] ---**
"Monday, June 20th"
**[09:35] ---**
"Bathrooms"
**[09:38] ---**
Maebara-*kun*!
**[09:40] ---**
Chie-*sensei*? What is it?
**[09:42] ---**
A visitor is here to see you
at the school entrance.
**[09:46] ---**
A visitor? For me?
**[09:51] ---**
I know that man walking with Keiichi-*kun*.
**[09:59] ---**
Why is Keiichi-*kun* talking
with a policeman?
**[10:04] ---**
Why? Why?
**[10:07] ---**
*Why?!*
**[10:09] ---**
Oh, there you are!
**[10:12] ---**
My goodness! I cannot find
Keiichi-*san* anywhere!
**[10:16] ---**
Come, Rena-*san*! It's time for club!
**[10:20] ---**
Today, we're playing a card guessing game
where you try to find the murderer!
**[10:24] ---**
O-Okay, I'll be there in a sec.
**[10:28] ---**
What's wrong with your neck?
**[10:32] ---**
H-Huh?
**[10:34] ---**
Oh, I don't know.
It's just been really itchy lately.
**[10:40] ---**
My, I do hope you feel better soon!
**[10:43] ---**
Thanks, Satoko-*chan*.
**[10:58] ---**
You guys aren't lying to me or
hiding stuff from me, right?
**[11:03] ---**
Huh? Of course not!
**[11:06] ---**
That's not true.
**[11:07] ---**
What do you mean, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[11:10] ---**
I know you're hiding stuff from me!
**[11:12] ---**
Okay, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[11:14] ---**
Then are you lying about anything
or hiding anything from me?
**[11:18] ---**
Huh?
**[11:19] ---**
You're not lying or hiding anything,
right? You're not, right?
**[11:23] ---**
I'm not lying or hiding anything from you.
**[11:26] ---**
--You're lying.
--Why do you think I'm lying?
**[11:28] ---**
I know what you did.
**[11:30] ---**
You hid something from me
at the trash heap, right?
**[11:33] ---**
--No, I...
--When you skipped club,
**[11:36] ---**
you didn't *really* go to the teacher's office.
**[11:39] ---**
--How do you--
--You were talking with an older man in his car.
**[11:44] ---**
Who was he?
**[11:46] ---**
I-I don't know who he was.
**[11:48] ---**
Why would a stranger want
to talk to you, Keiichi-*kun*?
**[11:51] ---**
I-I don't know, either!
**[11:52] ---**
Well, what did you talk about?
**[11:54] ---**
Nothing to do with any of you--
**[11:56] ---**
You're lying!
**[12:04] ---**
Keiichi!
**[12:07] ---**
You've got a call from the bookstore.
**[12:10] ---**
The bookstore?
**[12:11] ---**
Hey there, Rena-*chan*!
**[12:13] ---**
Good evening!
**[12:15] ---**
Come on in, don't be shy.
Keiichi's up in his room.
**[12:21] ---**
Okay!
**[12:22] ---**
Do you know where it is?
It's just up the stairs.
**[12:26] ---**
Thank you, sir!
**[12:30] ---**
Oh, wait! I've got some snacks
you can munch on.
**[12:34] ---**
I'll bring them up to you in a minute.
**[12:37] ---**
Yay, snacks!
**[12:40] ---**
You two have fun.
**[12:42] ---**
We will!
**[12:58] ---**
Tell me, Ooishi-*san*!
**[13:02] ---**
I want to hear it.
**[13:06] ---**
Yeah, I know she'd only just moved here.
**[13:12] ---**
Rena really did that?!
**[13:32] ---**
Keiichi-*kun* was on the phone...
**[13:35] ---**
...with that detective!
**[13:37] ---**
And he was *talking* about me!
**[13:47] ---**
Don't worry, Dad.
**[13:50] ---**
I just need to work...
**[13:53] ---**
...a little bit harder.
**[14:00] ---**
I'm home.
**[14:02] ---**
Hey, there you are, Reina.
**[14:06] ---**
Did you eat lunch?
**[14:09] ---**
I wasn't that hungry.
**[14:12] ---**
Are you okay?
**[14:14] ---**
It's Rina-*san*.
**[14:15] ---**
I haven't been able
to get in contact with her,
**[14:18] ---**
and she hasn't shown up
to work at all, either.
**[14:21] ---**
Oh. I hope she's okay.
**[14:26] ---**
I'll get it. You relax.
**[14:29] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:32] ---**
Hi there, Rena-*chan*?
**[14:34] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s mom?
**[14:36] ---**
Yes, that's right. I have a favor
to ask you, if that's all right.
**[14:40] ---**
Is it something for Keiichi-*kun*?
**[14:43] ---**
Yes. I had to go into the city for work,
and I won't be home until tomorrow.
**[14:48] ---**
Keiichi's home alone right now.
**[14:50] ---**
What about his dad?
**[14:51] ---**
He had to come with me, too.
**[14:55] ---**
I hate to spring this on you
like this, Rena-*chan*...
**[14:59] ---**
Don't worry, ma'am.
I'll make dinner for Keiichi-*kun*.
**[15:04] ---**
Thank you so much, Rena-*chan*!
**[15:06] ---**
Feel free to use anything
you need in the kitchen or fridge.
**[15:24] ---**
Huh? You're heading out?
**[15:26] ---**
Yeah, I'm going to Keiichi-*kun*'s.
**[15:29] ---**
Sorry. Dinner might be a little late.
**[15:32] ---**
Oh, that's okay.
**[15:34] ---**
Stay safe, Reina.
**[15:37] ---**
I will!
**[15:38] ---**
I'm gonna go work really hard.
**[16:01] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Let me in, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[16:04] ---**
R-Rena?
**[16:06] ---**
Your mom called me, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[16:09] ---**
She told me to bring you dinner.
**[16:12] ---**
R-Really? That's news to me...
**[16:17] ---**
I made a lot so we could eat
dinner together, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[16:21] ---**
C'mon, open up. Let me in.
**[16:24] ---**
Why are you being so mean to me? Why?
**[16:30] ---**
Are you afraid of Rena?
**[16:33] ---**
I know it sounds weird.
**[16:34] ---**
She's my friend, and I care
about her a lot, but I just...
**[16:40] ---**
Sometimes, when she looks at me,
her eyes look so creepy...
**[16:43] ---**
It just freaks me out.
**[16:45] ---**
--You're lying.
--Huh?!
**[16:47] ---**
If she said that to you,
it should've been a one-time thing.
**[16:53] ---**
Maybe you were just a little tired
when she said that.
**[16:57] ---**
Or maybe you're just making
a mountain out of a molehill.
**[17:00] ---**
Maybe, when you feel afraid of Rena,
**[17:06] ---**
you shouldn't doubt Rena, but yourself.
**[17:14] ---**
I'm...
**[17:30] ---**
A-Are you that hungry?! Are you?!
**[17:50] ---**
Everything should be okay now.
**[17:57] ---**
I know you can win, Keiichi!
**[18:03] ---**
Chin up, okay?
**[18:27] ---**
"Friday, June 24th"
**[18:33] ---**
Good morning!
**[18:36] ---**
Morning.
**[18:38] ---**
Good morning!
**[18:41] ---**
Mii, where are Keiichi and Rena?
**[18:43] ---**
Good morning, class.
**[18:46] ---**
I know it's a bit early,
but could you please take your seats?
**[18:50] ---**
I have an important announcement to make.
**[18:53] ---**
Whatever could it be?
**[18:55] ---**
It can't be. It can't.
**[18:58] ---**
Let's listen now, okay?
**[19:01] ---**
Last night...
**[19:04] ---**
Maebara-*kun* and Ryugu-*san*
were found injured and unconscious.
**[19:09] ---**
Maebara-*kun* is still in the hospital.
**[19:13] ---**
Unfortunately, Ryugu-*san*...
**[19:16] ---**
You're lying!
**[19:24] ---**
I know, Rika-*chan*.
**[19:26] ---**
When the police called
to tell us what happened,
**[19:30] ---**
I couldn't believe it, either.
**[19:32] ---**
Rika?
**[19:34] ---**
Furude-*san*, please sit down.
**[19:36] ---**
I'm not done with my announcement.
**[19:39] ---**
You aren't? Well, I'm done.
**[19:46] ---**
I'll go check on her later.
**[19:50] ---**
Thank you, Hojo-*san*.
**[19:59] ---**
"DO NOT ENTER"
**[20:09] ---**
"Furude Shrine"
**[21:15] ---**
I'm home, Rika.
**[21:29] ---**
You're quite dead, I see.
**[21:32] ---**
You know, if I die before you do,
I can't chase after you.
**[21:40] ---**
Rika, I'm sure you think
this was all a case of bad luck.
**[21:44] ---**
That you'll be able to escape
the tragedy on the next fragment.
**[21:48] ---**
That's what you're hoping, yes?
**[21:50] ---**
Now, that won't do.
**[21:52] ---**
Until you finally give up...
**[21:54] ---**
...you will never, ever, *ever*...
**[21:59] ---**
...escape Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.

**[00:17] ---**
A tragedy must have occurred.
**[00:21] ---**
That's the only reason I'd be here.
**[00:24] ---**
I'm going to be sick of
your face soon enough.
**[00:29] ---**
Were you killed by
the Mountain Dogs? By Takano?
**[00:33] ---**
I couldn't tell you. I can't remember
the hours leading up to my death.
**[00:39] ---**
But I don't think I was.
**[00:43] ---**
I remember running out of that classroom
hellbent on killing myself.
**[00:46] ---**
I can't remember if I found a knife
to slit my throat or drowned myself.
**[00:50] ---**
What happened on that fragment?
**[00:54] ---**
I'm sorry, I know you don't
want to think about it...
**[00:57] ---**
Insubstantial as I am,
**[01:00] ---**
I cannot view your fragments,
let alone join you in them.
**[01:05] ---**
Still, discussing what happened
might help us understand this situation.
**[01:12] ---**
I think Keiichi and Rena
killed each other...
**[01:16] ---**
...as a result of paranoia
caused by Hinamizawa Syndrome.
**[01:20] ---**
That's horrible.
**[01:23] ---**
For Keiichi, for Rena,
**[01:25] ---**
and for your heart, Rika.
**[01:27] ---**
Agreed.
**[01:28] ---**
I knew Keiichi was suspicious
and fearful of Rena's behavior,
**[01:31] ---**
but I'd thought my words to him had
convinced him everything was all right.
**[01:35] ---**
How wrong I was to believe that.
**[01:37] ---**
You shouldn't blame yourself.
**[01:40] ---**
Even if your centuries
of scars are fading,
**[01:43] ---**
they will never disappear.
**[01:47] ---**
Believe me, I'm well aware.
**[01:50] ---**
People cannot live on without hope.
**[01:53] ---**
That's why I refuse to give in to despair.
**[01:55] ---**
It's only one failure.
**[01:59] ---**
Hanyuu...
**[02:01] ---**
I shouldn't have been mean to you earlier.
**[02:04] ---**
Talking with you now has made
my heart feel a little bit lighter.
**[02:10] ---**
I'm sorry for saying
I would be sick of your face.
**[02:17] ---**
Rika, I know you'll make it out of this.
**[02:21] ---**
Just like before,
you *will* create a miracle.
**[02:25] ---**
Right.
**[02:33] ---**
Breaking her spirit
will not be easy, it seems.
**[02:40] ---**
Goodness, my neck still hurts.
**[02:44] ---**
Even though I know
it's no more than a memory,
**[02:47] ---**
I still feel the knife slicing into
my neck. It's quite unpleasant, Eua-*san*.
**[02:53] ---**
That is because my power is
at full strength, unlike that failure.
**[02:59] ---**
Though if you'd prefer,
I can also grant you memory loss,
**[03:04] ---**
much like the ability
that failure gifted the cat.
**[03:08] ---**
I was merely grousing, that's all.
**[03:10] ---**
You've already given me a special ability,
Eua-*san*. It's more than enough.
**[03:17] ---**
If you die after the cat,
**[03:20] ---**
then you will travel with her
to the same fragment.
**[03:25] ---**
That's right, and I won't
let her out of my sight.
**[03:28] ---**
Besides, knowing Rika,
she likely believes Takano is behind this.
**[03:33] ---**
Because in your previous fragment,
**[03:35] ---**
Keiichi seemed to succumb to the syndrome,
much like he did in the past.
**[03:42] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, Rika,
**[03:44] ---**
but your hundred years
of experience will not help you
**[03:48] ---**
when you're living in worlds
where I control the curse!
**[03:53] ---**
You are so very amusing.
**[03:57] ---**
Now, how will you entertain me next?

"Sunday, June 5th"
**[05:51] ---**
Good morning.
**[05:52] ---**
Good morning, Rika!
**[05:54] ---**
My, you look a bit pale.
**[05:58] ---**
I woke up from a scary dream.
**[06:02] ---**
I'm sorry to hear that.
What happened in the dream?
**[06:07] ---**
I've already forgotten all about it.
**[06:09] ---**
Besides, it was just a dream!
**[06:23] ---**
Rika, you know full well
that was no dream.
**[06:29] ---**
I'll admit, you know how
to use a blade quite well.
**[06:34] ---**
But I'd like to find a method that's
a bit more pleasant next time.
**[07:00] ---**
Stop pesterin' me, asshole!
**[07:03] ---**
S-Satoko!
**[07:05] ---**
Hello, Uncle.
**[07:06] ---**
I-I'm sorry! I thought you were that
asshole landlady here to complain again!
**[07:12] ---**
I'm so sorry for yelling at you!
**[07:13] ---**
If I'd known it was you,
I would've opened the door with a smile!
**[07:17] ---**
One just like this!
**[07:20] ---**
Very well. I forgive you.
**[07:23] ---**
Y-You mean it?
**[07:26] ---**
I can't keep ya standing out here!
Come inside and have some tea!
**[07:30] ---**
A-Actually, let's go to
the mahjong parlor--
**[07:32] ---**
Er, or a café to get something sweet!
**[07:35] ---**
Thank you for offering,
but I'd rather not.
**[07:38] ---**
O-Oh, sorry.
**[07:40] ---**
I just don't know what kind of stuff
a girl your age might prefer.
**[07:46] ---**
You can make it up to me
by doing me a favor.
**[07:50] ---**
Of course! Whatever I can do for ya,
I'll happily help out with!
**[07:55] ---**
There's a special place I'd like to go,
but they won't let me in by myself.
**[08:06] ---**
That's it! Keep the pressure on 'im!
**[08:09] ---**
One horse is racing ahead of the pack--
by God, it's Wanyan Daio!
**[08:15] ---**
Wait, look who's coming out wide!
It's Cheshire Cat Munchy!
**[08:18] ---**
Wanyan Daio's in the lead!
But will it be Cheshire Cat Munchy?!

You're the goddess of good luck!
**[08:46] ---**
Uncle!
**[08:48] ---**
S-Sorry, I was excited...
**[08:51] ---**
Let's go home.
**[08:52] ---**
My magic only works once.
**[08:56] ---**
S-Satoko...
**[09:12] ---**
I cannot believe it.
**[09:15] ---**
How can men live like this
with no qualms whatsoever?
**[09:20] ---**
It's embarrassing.
**[09:21] ---**
Uncle, please gather up all the trash in
this room. There's nowhere for us to sit.
**[09:26] ---**
And you should put your futon
away every morning!
**[09:30] ---**
There's nothin' wrong
with leavin' it out--
**[09:32] ---**
What was that?
**[09:33] ---**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[09:49] ---**
So, Satoko...
**[09:50] ---**
I was thinking about it,
**[09:53] ---**
and I think you should have half
this cash--no, more than half, please.
**[09:59] ---**
This is more than enough for me.
**[10:02] ---**
The rest is all yours, Uncle.
**[10:05] ---**
N-No, I couldn't!
**[10:07] ---**
You paid for the bet.
**[10:10] ---**
All I did was tell you the name
of the horse I dreamed about.
**[10:15] ---**
Th-Thank you, Satoko! I owe ya!
**[10:19] ---**
Don't be so glum, Uncle.
**[10:22] ---**
This was quite the windfall.
We've got to celebrate.
**[10:27] ---**
Thanks, but my doctor says I shouldn't.
**[10:30] ---**
One measly drink couldn't hurt.
Besides, we're celebrating.
**[10:35] ---**
I guess you're right. Just one is fine.
**[10:39] ---**
I'll enjoy this soda.
**[10:46] ---**
I'm so goddamn happy.
**[10:50] ---**
My cute niece is bein' so damn nice.
**[10:55] ---**
She's so nice,
but I was such an asshole...
**[11:00] ---**
I'm so sorry, Satoko! Please forgive me!
**[11:03] ---**
It's all in the past.
You're all right, Uncle.
**[11:06] ---**
I'm not all right!
I've gotta keep you safe, Satoko!
**[11:12] ---**
How very dependable of you.
**[11:14] ---**
Though I still can't help but worry.
**[11:17] ---**
You have some scary friends,
don't you, Uncle? I don't like scary men.
**[11:23] ---**
Y-Yeah, I hung out with
a scary crowd in the past.
**[11:28] ---**
But don't worry,
I ain't associated with them anymore.
**[11:31] ---**
So you don't have any way
of contacting them?
**[11:34] ---**
I do, in my address book.
**[11:36] ---**
That's so scary.
**[11:39] ---**
What if someone finds your address book
and you get in trouble?
**[11:46] ---**
Don't worry 'bout it.
**[11:48] ---**
Even if the cops peeked through it,
I put everyone under fake names.
**[11:56] ---**
You're so smart, Uncle.
**[12:04] ---**
Let's say I wanted to buy something
*dangerous* that I couldn't buy elsewhere.
**[12:11] ---**
Which one of those
fake names would sell that?
**[12:22] ---**
"Kawauchi"
**[12:27] ---**
"Flower Road"
**[13:02] ---**
This ain't your daddy's car, sweetie.
**[13:05] ---**
My, I thought I used
the correct number of knocks.
**[13:09] ---**
That is why you opened the door, yes?
**[13:12] ---**
I got no beef with you, sweetie.
**[13:15] ---**
You should get the hell away from
whoever you're workin' for.
**[13:18] ---**
I brought cash.
**[13:20] ---**
Look, deals like this only happen
if we trust one another.
**[13:25] ---**
You won't say who you are,
but shove cash in my face?
**[13:28] ---**
You better have enough
to buy my trust, too.
**[13:32] ---**
Could you please stop jabbering
and see if this is enough?
**[13:38] ---**
Holy shit.
**[13:39] ---**
Ain't you generous.
**[13:42] ---**
As you just mentioned,
I've brought enough to buy your trust.
**[13:49] ---**
Sure. I won't ask any questions
about who you work for.
**[13:53] ---**
This here's payment enough.
**[13:57] ---**
Here are the goods.
**[14:03] ---**
Pleasure doing business with you.
**[14:10] ---**
Shooting lessons are extra.
Does your boss know how to use that?
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[14:19] ---**
"Classroom"
**[14:20] ---**
Huh? You wanna learn how to shoot a gun?
**[14:23] ---**
Yes. I figured you might
have some knowledge.
**[14:26] ---**
You figured right! This old fart learned
how to shoot from a foreign ex-soldier!
**[14:32] ---**
As a member of our club,
**[14:34] ---**
I thought it would be a fine idea to learn
how to use a variety of weapons!
**[14:38] ---**
Sure. I've always wanted to do
a big watergun fight in club, too.
**[14:44] ---**
I'll teach ya!
**[14:50] ---**
What's that?
**[14:51] ---**
Your training gun.
**[15:00] ---**
Wow. This model gun is quite well-crafted.
**[15:04] ---**
Right? It was specially made to have
the same weight as the real thing.
**[15:19] ---**
I shouldn't be surprised!
**[15:20] ---**
Remember what I just told you.
**[15:23] ---**
The best way to get better
is lots and lots of practice.
**[15:28] ---**
Practice makes perfect, as they say!
**[15:30] ---**
My, I'm quite good at that.
**[16:25] ---**
Not to worry. I'm quite accustomed
to handling firearms.
**[16:36] ---**
Hello?
**[16:38] ---**
Morning, Satoko-*chan*!
You sound like you just woke up!
**[16:42] ---**
My, it's just you, Rena-*san*.
**[16:43] ---**
What do you want so early in the morning?
**[16:46] ---**
Good morning, Satoko!
**[16:48] ---**
Mion-*san* is with you?
I know what that means.
**[16:51] ---**
You sure do! Grab Rika-*chan*
and meet up in Okinomiya!
**[16:53] ---**
"Saturday, June 11th"
You sure do! Grab Rika-*chan*
and meet up in Okinomiya!
**[16:57] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
You're coming, right?
**[16:59] ---**
Absolutely! I'm coming
to destroy you, just you wait!
**[17:08] ---**
Today's gonna be big!
**[17:11] ---**
I heard Mion-*san* produced
the money for a cash price!
**[17:14] ---**
A big one, too! Fifty thousand yen!
**[17:18] ---**
That's enough money
to make your head spin!
**[17:21] ---**
"Da Vinci"
**[17:22] ---**
"Da Vinci"
My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[17:24] ---**
My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[17:26] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[17:28] ---**
Hey! Morning, guys.
**[17:31] ---**
Wait, is this where
we're having club today?!
**[17:34] ---**
The shop holds game tournaments
every now and then to attract customers.
**[17:39] ---**
That means all the guys in here
are gonna play in the tournament?
**[17:44] ---**
That's right! Today, we get to play against
a lot more people than just ourselves!
**[17:50] ---**
So I've gotta beat all of them, too...
**[17:54] ---**
This is gonna be so much fun, Kei-*chan*.
**[18:05] ---**
What?! You recovered from that already?!
**[18:09] ---**
It's sooo kyute!
I wanna take them all home!
**[18:14] ---**
I've never played the fishing game before.
Please go easy on me.
**[18:19] ---**
Don't worry! We'll teach you how to play!
**[18:24] ---**
All right, this old fart's gonna take you on.
Pick out a game you're good at.
**[18:32] ---**
I've played you so many times,
I don't know how many this makes.
**[18:36] ---**
Huh? But we just met today, didn't we?
**[18:42] ---**
I've memorized them all.
**[18:53] ---**
--Whoa, no way!
--Are you psychic or something?!
**[18:57] ---**
Have a gander at this!
**[18:58] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[19:01] ---**
That was far too easy.
**[19:03] ---**
H-Holy crap, you won already?!
**[19:06] ---**
Nicely done, Satoko.
**[19:08] ---**
I expected no less
of you, either, Mion-*san*.
**[19:10] ---**
You're done too, Mion?! That fast?!
**[19:13] ---**
Well then, Mion-*san*, shall we go have some
tea while we wait for the others to win?
**[19:20] ---**
Hey, great idea!
**[19:28] ---**
What should I get to drink?
**[19:30] ---**
How about this!
**[19:42] ---**
A thought, Eua-*san*.
**[19:44] ---**
What is it?
**[19:45] ---**
There were no worlds where
Mion-*san* lost herself to paranoia.
**[19:50] ---**
That's correct.
**[19:52] ---**
Hinamizawa Syndrome is triggered in those
who are physically distant from the Queen
**[19:56] ---**
or those who are experiencing
increased mental stress.
**[20:01] ---**
And while Mion-*san* seems emotional,
**[20:04] ---**
she's actually quite
the logical thinker. Is that why?
**[20:08] ---**
That, or her sense of duty as the next head
of the Sonozakis bolsters her resolve.
**[20:15] ---**
In either case,
**[20:16] ---**
I wonder what Mion-*san* would do
if she were to be afflicted?
**[20:22] ---**
I must say, I'm curious.
**[20:27] ---**
Sorry, guys. I'll make it up
to you next time, promise!
**[20:31] ---**
We'll have to continue
the fun later, then!
**[20:35] ---**
Thanks to you guys,
the shop made a huge profit today!
**[20:37] ---**
Here's a little something to say thanks.
**[20:40] ---**
Hey, Uncle Yoshiro,
where's my little something?
**[20:44] ---**
I'll give you a big tip
next time I see you at work.
**[20:47] ---**
No fair.
**[20:48] ---**
--Oh, my!
--This is so cute!
**[20:51] ---**
Can I really take this home?!
**[20:54] ---**
Is mine cute, too...?
**[20:59] ---**
It's sooo kyute!
**[21:02] ---**
That's the last thing
I'd expect you to want, Kei-*chan*!
**[21:05] ---**
I'll admit it's cute,
**[21:07] ---**
but I can't say a doll
like this is for me...
**[21:09] ---**
If you took that home,
everyone'd think you were a total perv.
**[21:13] ---**
Yeah, it's really not my thing.
**[21:20] ---**
Keiichi.
**[21:23] ---**
As long as you're kind about it,
**[21:25] ---**
you could give it to anyone, and they
wouldn't be flustered, they'd accept it!
**[21:32] ---**
Here, Mion, you have it.
You'll get more use out of it than me.
**[21:36] ---**
Huh?! But I'm so not the type for dolls!
**[21:39] ---**
Like, I'm always wondering why I wasn't
just born a guy or something, you know?
**[21:44] ---**
C'mon, just take it!
**[21:47] ---**
O-Okay.
**[21:50] ---**
I also think you're a better home
for her than Keiichi-*kun*!
**[23:39] ---**

**[00:10] ---**
I'm off the clock!
**[00:12] ---**
See you, Sonozaki-*san*! And thanks
for coming in on such short notice.
**[00:15] ---**
No prob.
**[02:03] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[02:08] ---**
Listen up, class!
**[02:09] ---**
If you don't take cooking seriously,
somebody's going to get hurt!
**[02:13] ---**
This is a part of your class today,
so don't fool around! Take this seriously!
**[02:18] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[02:22] ---**
Boy, she sure is fired up
about curry, huh?
**[02:25] ---**
Chie-*sensei* puts her whole life
and soul into curry.
**[02:29] ---**
She's gonna be harsh
when grading us on this.
**[02:31] ---**
It's just cooking.
We can half-ass it and get full points.
**[02:35] ---**
You shouldn't say that out loud!
**[02:38] ---**
If she hears you...
**[02:40] ---**
Don't be dramatic.
**[02:41] ---**
Besides, curry is basically junk food.
**[02:44] ---**
It always tastes the same.
Anyone would get sick of--
**[02:59] ---**
Okay, let's get serious!
**[03:01] ---**
I know I don't have
to say this, Kei-*chan*...
**[03:03] ---**
You guys get it, too, yeah?
**[03:05] ---**
Our club activity today
is a curry showdown!
**[03:07] ---**
A wonderful idea!
**[03:10] ---**
My year is making curry in a group,
so your participant will be...
**[03:15] ---**
Me! My curry's gonna be so yummy,
you'll go crazy for it!
**[03:20] ---**
Rika's a pretty good cook, too!
**[03:23] ---**
Dammit. No fair, Satoko!
**[03:25] ---**
I'm good at making curry, so you'd better
get ready to lose, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[03:29] ---**
So many fierce opponents... save for one!
**[03:34] ---**
Wait... no, you can't be!
**[03:38] ---**
"I bet Mion's a horrible cook!"
**[03:41] ---**
You totally thought
you could beat me, didn't you?
**[03:48] ---**
Wha--?!
**[03:53] ---**
I'm not gonna let you guys win!
**[03:55] ---**
I'll show you what my Dad taught me
about cooking when we went camping!
**[04:03] ---**
Shouldn't you take off
the lid on that already?
**[04:07] ---**
If you're trying to trick me, Satoko,
that's not going to work.
**[04:11] ---**
I know how to cook rice:
you let it bubble and steam,
**[04:15] ---**
and *never* take off
the lid until it's done!
**[04:17] ---**
Wow, you actually know stuff,
Kei-*chan*.
**[04:19] ---**
So you'd better turn tail and run off!
**[04:22] ---**
You leave me no choice, then.
**[04:32] ---**
Oh, my, I must have tripped!
**[04:37] ---**
"SALT" My hand slipped!
**[04:40] ---**
"SALT" S-Satoko-*chan*!
**[04:44] ---**
It's too sweet! She got me!
**[04:48] ---**
And now that you can taste it,
it's far too late to fix it!
**[04:53] ---**
My beautiful curry...
**[04:55] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[04:57] ---**
Yes, poor, poor Keiichi!
**[05:01] ---**
You little... Satoko!
**[05:09] ---**
Hey, you still managed to pull through,
despite everything.
**[05:12] ---**
Words aren't gonna
make me feel better right now.
**[05:14] ---**
If you want me to feel better,
get me something to eat.
**[05:18] ---**
I'm sure your dinner will taste great
after all that waiting.
**[05:22] ---**
All right, I'm gonna head off to work now.
**[05:36] ---**
Hey, you.
**[06:03] ---**
Door's open!
**[06:12] ---**
G-Good evening...
**[06:16] ---**
Whoa, Kei-*chan*, why are you on the floor?!
**[06:25] ---**
Thanks for the food. It was awesome.
**[06:36] ---**
Last night, when I was super hungry,
Shion came by and gave me a bunch of food.
**[06:42] ---**
So here are all the containers.
**[06:44] ---**
I already washed them for you!
**[06:46] ---**
O-Oh, wow! Shion's so thoughtful.
**[06:50] ---**
My, Mion-*san*, you sure are
in good humor today!
**[06:54] ---**
Yeah! She's being so kind and gentle.
**[07:24] ---**
Look at them! They're so cute!
**[07:27] ---**
I know this place...
**[07:28] ---**
If I said I wanted one...
**[07:32] ---**
Would you buy one for me, Kei-*chan*?
**[07:38] ---**
Excuse me! I'd like to buy that doll
with the dress in the window!
**[07:42] ---**
Sure!
**[07:44] ---**
Let me get--
**[07:46] ---**
--Mion?!
--K-Kei-*chan*?!
**[07:47] ---**
And why the hell are *you* here?!
**[07:53] ---**
C'mon, let's go, Kei-*chan*!
**[07:55] ---**
We're not quite done with our date yet!
**[07:57] ---**
W-Wait...
**[08:00] ---**
My sister is hard at work.
We wouldn't want to interrupt.
**[08:05] ---**
Okay.
**[08:16] ---**
Kei-*chan*...
**[08:21] ---**
Why?
**[08:24] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[08:33] ---**
There are so many stalls!
I wonder if we'll find anything kyute!
**[08:40] ---**
What's up?
**[08:42] ---**
Oh, nothing.
**[08:43] ---**
First, we gotta find Rika-*chan*.
Satoko should be with her.
**[08:48] ---**
Right.
**[08:52] ---**
You just need to drop me off, that's all.
**[08:55] ---**
I don't want to hear any business
about "coming with me," Kasai.
**[08:58] ---**
Very well. Do be careful of
your surroundings at the festival.
**[09:03] ---**
What do I need to be careful for?
**[09:05] ---**
Hinamizawa can be quite
dangerous this time of year.
**[09:11] ---**
What, is the Shotgun Dragon
scared of Hinamizawa, too?
**[09:15] ---**
The village has a history.
**[09:17] ---**
Even if they really do demon away people,
I can hardly see why they'd take me.
**[09:26] ---**
By the way, Shion-*san*, how do you
intend to return home tonight?
**[09:31] ---**
No idea.
**[09:32] ---**
Maybe I'll ask my sister if
I can stay over at the mansion tonight.
**[09:37] ---**
You're going to ask to stay over
at the mansion tonight of all nights?
**[09:41] ---**
I'm going to nap until we get there.
Wake me up when we do.
**[09:44] ---**
There's a blanket in the back.
**[09:47] ---**
But we'll be there very soon.
**[09:51] ---**
Shush! It's naptime!
**[10:03] ---**
Huh? Where's Kei-*chan*?
**[10:07] ---**
He was with us until just now.
**[10:09] ---**
Knowing Keiichi-*san*, he probably
got dragged off somewhere by Shion-*san*!
**[10:15] ---**
Oh, o-okay!
**[10:18] ---**
He's gonna miss Rika-*chan*'s dance, though.
**[10:20] ---**
Don't worry! I'm sure he's
somewhere where he can watch!
**[10:24] ---**
Yes, I'm sure.
**[10:27] ---**
The two of them are likely
having a *wonderful* time.
**[10:34] ---**
--Got it open.
--Thank you!
**[10:36] ---**
It's finally time.
**[10:38] ---**
Well? You're our partners in crime, now.
**[10:41] ---**
Would you like to come
take a look with us?
**[10:43] ---**
Wh-What? We don't want to be
partners in crime with you or--
**[10:47] ---**
It sounds interesting! Let's go look.
**[11:47] ---**
Hurry!
**[11:49] ---**
If what you said about
the Final Operation is true,
**[11:52] ---**
then the Mountain Dogs
aren't going to let us get away!
**[11:55] ---**
If we can get to the clinic,
we can use my car--
**[11:57] ---**
No way, they've probably got
a tracker on it!
**[12:01] ---**
Same with my bike!
**[12:07] ---**
Excuse me, sir, but could we
borrow you for a moment?
**[12:10] ---**
Ah, jeez. It happened again this year?
**[12:16] ---**
Right, then. I'll want to ask you
for the full story later...
**[12:21] ---**
My, if it isn't Mayor Kimiyoshi!
**[12:24] ---**
What's going on, Ooishi-*san*?
**[12:27] ---**
Not another demoning away, I hope.
**[12:30] ---**
Depending on what happened, yes, perhaps.
**[12:34] ---**
What happened, then?
**[12:36] ---**
About 30 minutes ago, Tomitake-*san*
and Takano-*san* came to this parking lot
**[12:40] ---**
and stole one of the trucks parked here.
**[12:44] ---**
What? They stole a truck?
**[12:46] ---**
Yes, according to people
who witnessed the crime...
**[12:52] ---**
Hey, that's the nurse
from Dr. Irie's clinic.
**[12:57] ---**
Jiro-*san*!
**[12:58] ---**
--Is the key in there?!
--It sure is!
**[13:00] ---**
I'll drive! You get in on the other side!
**[13:05] ---**
Hey, that's my truck!
**[13:09] ---**
Tomitake's that young guy from Tokyo,
right? Why'd he want to steal a car?
**[13:15] ---**
Witnesses say they were in a great hurry.
**[13:19] ---**
That, or terrified of something.
**[13:23] ---**
They didn't even bother to load
their belongings into the truck.
**[13:27] ---**
They must have been in quite the rush.
**[13:29] ---**
Sounds like it.
**[13:30] ---**
What do you think?
**[13:31] ---**
To me, it seems like something scared them
into running out of the village.
**[13:37] ---**
I haven't the slightest.
**[13:39] ---**
What do you think they'd be
running from, anyway?
**[13:42] ---**
Oh, I don't know...
**[13:45] ---**
...Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse?
**[13:48] ---**
What?! Th-That's ridiculous!
**[13:52] ---**
I'm only kidding.
**[13:54] ---**
An officer is going around
interviewing witnesses.
**[13:58] ---**
I've heard some interesting stories
about what happened tonight.
**[14:01] ---**
Like the two people our criminals
were spotted with earlier.
**[14:09] ---**
I was just about to go meet with them.
**[14:16] ---**
I hope they know something
about what's going on.
**[14:28] ---**
Kasai? I told you I would manage
getting home on my own.
**[14:31] ---**
I'll leave once I give you this.
**[14:35] ---**
This is for you, Shion-*san*.
**[14:37] ---**
Huh?
**[14:38] ---**
To protect yourself.
**[14:43] ---**
Oh, do be careful with it.
**[14:48] ---**
It's an *off-market* model.
**[14:52] ---**
I can see that.
**[14:53] ---**
Just pulling it out
or buzzing it at someone
**[14:57] ---**
should scare them out of trying
any funny business with you.
**[15:01] ---**
You're this worried about me?
**[15:04] ---**
Thanks, Kasai.
**[15:06] ---**
Of course.
**[15:08] ---**
Though I don't think anyone
could get to me through our security.
**[15:12] ---**
Take it just in case. Good night.
**[15:43] ---**
Hello there, Shion Sonozaki-*san*.
**[15:46] ---**
Could I have a few minutes of your time?
**[15:49] ---**
Working this late at night, Uncle Ooishi?
**[15:54] ---**
Well, only 'cause it seems I need
to talk with you and Maebara-*san*!
**[16:00] ---**
You were the last people to talk
to Tomitake-*san* and Takano-*san*.
**[16:04] ---**
What? What do you mean?
**[16:15] ---**
Maebara residence.
**[16:17] ---**
Kei-*chan*! It's me, Shion.
**[16:19] ---**
Hey. Why're you calling me so late?
**[16:21] ---**
I was worried about my sister.
Did she believe your story?
**[16:25] ---**
I was worried when she realized
I didn't watch Rika-*chan*'s dance,
**[16:29] ---**
but she bought it.
**[16:31] ---**
That's my sweet Kei-*chan*.
**[16:33] ---**
Oh, shut it, Shion!
**[16:35] ---**
So there's... something else
I wanted to ask.
**[16:40] ---**
Tonight, at the Watanagashi festival,
**[16:43] ---**
all four of us went into
that storehouse, right?
**[16:54] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[16:56] ---**
It means that maybe, they were being
targeted by Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[17:02] ---**
If they were, then we know the reason.
**[17:05] ---**
Why the hell are *you* going on and on
about how bad it was
**[17:08] ---**
to sneak into the sacred storehouse
on the night of Watanagashi?!
**[17:11] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't think
this would happen...
**[17:15] ---**
I had nothing to do with all of this!
**[17:17] ---**
So now what?! What're you gonna do, huh?!
**[17:21] ---**
Shion.
**[17:25] ---**
How're you gonna make this right, huh?!
**[17:28] ---**
Hey! Say somethi--
**[17:38] ---**
M-M-Mion...
**[17:40] ---**
Care to explain what's going on?
**[17:43] ---**
I-It's not what you think, Mion!
Just let me explain!
**[17:46] ---**
You dragged Kei-*chan* into this?
And now he's being targeted by the curse?
**[17:53] ---**
Kei-*chan*... kind, loving Kei-*chan*...
**[17:58] ---**
...is going to die because of you?
**[18:08] ---**
I'm not done talking, Shion.
**[18:15] ---**
S-Stay back!
**[18:19] ---**
Don't come any closer!
**[18:27] ---**
It's your fault Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
is targeting Kei-*chan*.
**[18:32] ---**
If something happens to Kei-*chan*,
it'll all be your fault.
**[18:36] ---**
*Your fault*, Shion.
**[18:39] ---**
Give him back. Give Kei-*chan* back to me.
**[18:42] ---**
I told you to stay back!
**[18:46] ---**
Who's after Kei-*chan*?
You must know, right?
**[18:51] ---**
Has Kasai-*san* told you anything?
**[18:53] ---**
I don't know.
**[18:54] ---**
Who in the village gave the order?
**[18:56] ---**
I don't know!
**[18:58] ---**
It's our old Gran, isn't it?
**[18:59] ---**
Out of the Three Houses, Oryo is always
the one pulling the strings.
**[19:05] ---**
I don't know! I don't! Why would I know?!
**[19:12] ---**
Please, don't...
**[19:15] ---**
Mion!
**[19:27] ---**
Where are you going?
We're not finished yet.
**[19:45] ---**
P-Please... stop...
**[19:49] ---**
I really don't want to do this.
**[20:01] ---**
But I *have* to do this.
**[20:04] ---**
Someone has to put an end
to this old, tired tradition.
**[20:10] ---**
As the next head of the Sonozaki Family,
**[20:15] ---**
it's my duty to end it.
**[20:17] ---**
To expel the evil from our village.
**[20:22] ---**
And...
**[20:28] ---**
...to protect Kei-*chan*.
**[20:33] ---**
So please, Shion, help me.
**[20:38] ---**
Just tell me everything you know.
**[20:49] ---**
Shion?
**[20:55] ---**
Did I... kill...
**[21:05] ---**
Did I kill Shion...?
**[21:11] ---**
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Shion!
**[21:35] ---**
Don't worry, Shion.
I'll see this through to the end.
**[21:44] ---**
I'll do it for Kei-*chan*.
**[21:54] ---**
There's something
I want to ask you, Grandma.
**[21:58] ---**
You said before that the Sonozakis
had nothing to do with the curse...
**[22:04] ---**
...but you'll tell me the truth, right?
**[23:39] ---**

**[00:24] ---**
I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I
needed to get an honest answer from you.
**[00:29] ---**
You're behind it all, aren't you?
**[00:31] ---**
You're using your power as head of one of
the Three Families to control the curse.
**[00:40] ---**
Gran?
**[00:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[00:46] ---**
No! I didn't mean to kill you...
**[00:49] ---**
If you're dead, I can't stop the curse!
**[00:52] ---**
I can't save Kei-*chan*!
**[00:55] ---**
Oh no, oh no, oh no...
**[01:00] ---**
Oh, right!
**[01:02] ---**
There are two *other* families.
**[01:09] ---**
Yes, hello?
**[01:10] ---**
Uncle?
**[01:12] ---**
Mion-*chan*, is that you? What's going on?
**[01:15] ---**
I'm sorry to call so late,
**[01:18] ---**
but my Old Gran said she has
to discuss something urgent with you.
**[01:22] ---**
Probably the thing with the stolen car.
**[01:24] ---**
She says she'd like to talk it over
in person. Would you mind coming by?
**[01:29] ---**
Yeah, sure. Tell Oryo-*san*
I'll be right over.
**[01:35] ---**
Got it. We'll be waiting for you.
**[03:06] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[03:14] ---**
Wha--?!
**[03:16] ---**
You woke up.
**[03:21] ---**
Mion-*chan*? Th-The hell is going on?
**[03:24] ---**
Good. This time, they woke up.
**[03:30] ---**
Wh-Wh-Why are you doing this?!
**[03:32] ---**
I have some questions for you.
**[03:35] ---**
Questions only you can answer as
head of one of the Three Families.
**[03:38] ---**
Huh?
**[03:39] ---**
I know the Great Families
use Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
**[03:43] ---**
as a cover for killing anyone bothers them
or doesn't fit in with the village.
**[03:47] ---**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[03:49] ---**
And Oryo Sonozaki was the person giving
the orders as to whom should be targeted.
**[03:55] ---**
But is that really the truth?
**[03:57] ---**
I-I haven't the slightest--
**[03:59] ---**
Please, Uncle. Right now,
the Sonozakis are the leading family,
**[04:03] ---**
but in the past, it used to be
the Kimiyoshis, right?
**[04:07] ---**
Y-Yes, back before the war, but...
**[04:11] ---**
So the Kimiyoshi family must've been
pretending to follow Oryo's orders
**[04:13] ---**
when they were really using
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse for their own means.
**[04:18] ---**
H-Hold on a dang moment!
I know nothin' about--
**[04:22] ---**
How many, then?
**[04:23] ---**
Huh? How many what?
**[04:25] ---**
Last year, we took three of Shion's
fingernails to atone for her wrongdoings.
**[04:32] ---**
How many fingernails will it take
for you to tell me the truth?
**[04:41] ---**
Wait! I swear, I'm not
hiding anything from you!
**[04:45] ---**
You're always so kind to me,
Uncle. I really do like you.
**[04:50] ---**
Please, don't, Mion-*chan*!
I'll tell you anything I can, I swear!
**[04:55] ---**
I just want to save Kei-*chan*.
**[04:59] ---**
How can I stop the village from
carrying out the order to demon him away?
**[05:03] ---**
I-I don't know about any orders,
**[05:06] ---**
but I'll do everything
in my power as Mayor to help you!
**[05:09] ---**
I'll convince Oryo-*san*
if I have to! Please!
**[05:12] ---**
I like you, Uncle!
I really didn't want to have to do this!
**[05:17] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[05:33] ---**
So Uncle *wasn't* controlling the curse?
**[05:40] ---**
There's only one Great Family left...
**[05:46] ---**
Some of you might have already heard,
**[05:50] ---**
but Mayor Kimiyoshi
has been missing since yesterday.
**[05:56] ---**
Think he was demoned away?
**[05:57] ---**
But the curse didn't happen this year.
**[06:07] ---**
Did you do something bad last night?
**[06:13] ---**
Keiichi, do you really not
remember what happened?
**[06:20] ---**
Can I tell you a story about some kitties?
**[06:25] ---**
Inside, there were lots of things
that scared the kitties.
**[06:29] ---**
The kitties heard that whoever saw
those things would be cursed.
**[06:33] ---**
And now, two of the kitties are missing.
**[06:36] ---**
Please, Rika-*chan*...
**[06:38] ---**
What should the other two kitties do?
**[06:46] ---**
I never expected you to tell me that
with such a ridiculous story.
**[06:53] ---**
It's fine. You don't need
to worry about it.
**[06:57] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:58] ---**
It doesn't matter if you worry
about it or not. It's all over.
**[07:03] ---**
This year's curse, this world,
you, me--we're all finished.
**[07:09] ---**
You should've just watched me dance.
**[07:14] ---**
You should've known better than
to go somewhere you shouldn't.
**[07:17] ---**
Especially on the night of Watanagashi.
**[07:22] ---**
I knew it. It *was* the last Great Family!
**[07:27] ---**
Rika Furude controls
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse!
**[07:33] ---**
Keiichi-*san*!
**[07:34] ---**
If you've got time to sit around,
then grab that ball and join us!
**[07:40] ---**
We're playing super slaughter
sludge explosion murder dodgeball!
**[07:47] ---**
Keiichi?
**[07:51] ---**
You should go play with them!
**[08:11] ---**
Rika-*chan*.
**[08:13] ---**
Mii?
**[08:15] ---**
What's up?
**[08:17] ---**
I'm so heartbroken.
**[08:20] ---**
I didn't want to believe it.
**[08:23] ---**
Take this!
**[08:27] ---**
I know you don't *want* to do this.
**[08:31] ---**
But you were born into the Furude family,
so you're forced to shoulder this burden.
**[08:35] ---**
I'm so, so sorry!
**[08:44] ---**
When this is all over, I'll come join you!
**[09:00] ---**
I'm still not done.
I have to protect Kei-*chan*!
**[09:05] ---**
All right, let's get our
afternoon class started!
**[09:10] ---**
Huh? Where's Furude-*san*?
**[09:15] ---**
Does anyone know where Furude-*san* is?
**[09:21] ---**
Keiichi-*san*.
**[09:22] ---**
You were just talking
to Rika, weren't you?
**[09:26] ---**
Huh?
**[09:30] ---**
I mean, yeah, we were just talking,
but I don't know where she went after...
**[09:36] ---**
You know, I think I saw her talking
to someone behind the school...
**[09:41] ---**
And that someone wasn't Keiichi-*san*?
**[09:45] ---**
I didn't get a good look at who it was...
**[09:48] ---**
What *did* you see?!
**[09:50] ---**
It looked like a man
in a construction uniform.
**[09:53] ---**
But there's no one
like that at our school.
**[10:00] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[10:01] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Shout if you can hear us!
**[10:16] ---**
--Huh?
--Kei-*chan*, over here!
**[10:20] ---**
--What'd you find, Mion?
--I thought I saw something on the roof!
**[10:24] ---**
The roof? Okay, I'll go look!
**[11:32] ---**
That should stall everyone
trying to carry out the curse.
**[11:35] ---**
Now's my chance to get
Kei-*chan* somewhere safe!
**[11:40] ---**
What's wrong? What is it?
**[11:42] ---**
It's my fault.
**[11:44] ---**
All of it...
**[11:46] ---**
It's your fault?
**[11:48] ---**
Why do you think it's your fault?
**[11:50] ---**
Could you tell me?
**[11:53] ---**
Because I...
**[11:58] ---**
No, never mind.
**[12:59] ---**
Hello?
**[13:00] ---**
Hey there, Kei-*chan*.
**[13:02] ---**
Is that you, Shion?
**[13:06] ---**
Oh, wait...
**[13:08] ---**
Mion?
**[13:10] ---**
I want you to come over. Right now.
**[13:19] ---**
Please find Furude-*san*.
**[13:21] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[13:27] ---**
Hojo-*san*? You're still here?
**[13:31] ---**
What did the police say about Rika?
**[13:36] ---**
They've promised to do
whatever they can to help.
**[13:39] ---**
Do they have any leads as to where she is?
**[13:41] ---**
I know you're worried, but it's okay.
**[13:44] ---**
They're going to find her.
We just need to be patient.
**[13:48] ---**
What should I do?
**[13:51] ---**
Go home, so you can greet Furude-*san*
with a big smile when she comes back.
**[13:56] ---**
All right.
**[13:58] ---**
Knowing Rika, she'll come right back
pretending nothing happened.
**[14:03] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[14:09] ---**
Please find her.
**[14:12] ---**
Her going missing is the *worst* thing
that could happen to me.
**[14:16] ---**
Perhaps I should ask her directly.
That may be the fastest way.
**[14:23] ---**
You're nervous. Trust me,
I know how you're feeling right now.
**[14:27] ---**
So c'mon.
**[14:33] ---**
Let's go talk at my place.
**[14:39] ---**
Mion Sonozaki has made contact
with Keiichi Maebara.
**[14:43] ---**
They're headed towards
the Sonozaki property.
**[14:46] ---**
This is Ooishi.
**[14:47] ---**
Join the detectives around the Sonozaki
property and continue your surveillance.
**[14:53] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[14:55] ---**
You think the Sonozakis are involved
in what happened with the Mayor, too?
**[14:59] ---**
According to his family,
**[15:01] ---**
Oryo Sonozaki called him over,
and he's been missing ever since.
**[15:05] ---**
And what does Oryo Sonozaki
have to say about that?
**[15:09] ---**
The old lady wouldn't meet with us,
**[15:11] ---**
but Mion Sonozaki said he went home
right after their talk.
**[15:16] ---**
And you think she's lying?
**[15:18] ---**
Who knows?
**[15:21] ---**
If she's lying, then that means the Mayor
is still on the Sonozaki property.
**[15:26] ---**
Why aren't we moving in, then?
**[15:28] ---**
If we barged into the Sonozaki
mansion without a good reason,
**[15:31] ---**
who knows what kind of
a fight they'd put up.
**[15:36] ---**
If we had a good reason, though...
**[15:38] ---**
That's why you've got them staked out!
**[15:42] ---**
The second our guys hear
the quietest scream, we can go right in.
**[15:48] ---**
Your front gate is *huge*.
**[15:51] ---**
Come on in.
**[16:02] ---**
Can you answer a question for me, Mion?
**[16:05] ---**
Why does someone have to die on
the night of Watanagashi every year?
**[16:18] ---**
"We are delighted to share
our soy sauce with you.
Just bring an empty bottle
to the Sonozaki residence."
**[16:23] ---**
What the hell is this place?
**[16:33] ---**
This is my uncle's safe room.
**[16:36] ---**
It's the most secure place
on our property.
**[16:41] ---**
There's movement in front of the Sonozaki
property. But it's not one of them...
**[16:45] ---**
What's going on?
**[16:46] ---**
They appear to have a visitor.
**[16:50] ---**
I don't know what
you're going to try to do, Mion,
**[16:54] ---**
but if there's anything I can do
to help, please tell me!
**[16:58] ---**
You don't have to do this alone!
**[17:01] ---**
Kei-*chan*, remember
the board game tournament?
**[17:04] ---**
When you gave me that doll?
**[17:07] ---**
You treated me like a girl...
**[17:11] ---**
And that made me happy.
**[17:13] ---**
I love you, Kei-*chan*.
**[17:16] ---**
That's why I need to protect you!
**[17:20] ---**
And the only way to protect you is to end
this "tradition" once and for all!
**[17:25] ---**
Mion...
**[17:37] ---**
Does that mean someone's here?
**[17:40] ---**
So their minion's here instead.
**[17:42] ---**
That, or they've caught on.
**[17:47] ---**
How interesting.
I suppose I'll go say hello.
**[17:50] ---**
Mion, what are you...
**[17:52] ---**
Sorry, Kei-*chan*.
I've got to go greet my guest.
**[18:05] ---**
My, you sure kept me waiting out here!
**[18:08] ---**
Sorry, I couldn't hear the intercom.
**[18:11] ---**
What're you doing here out of the blue?
**[18:13] ---**
Your family is so kind as to share
soy sauce with the village, yes?
**[18:16] ---**
I received your notice.
**[18:18] ---**
Soy sauce?
**[18:20] ---**
Oh, our old gran must've set that up...
**[18:23] ---**
Is that not correct? I was so excited to
get some soy sauce, I skipped right over.
**[18:29] ---**
Sure, come on in.
**[18:30] ---**
Mion Sonozaki has invited
Satoko Hojo into the residence.
**[18:35] ---**
Do you see Keiichi Maebara?
**[18:37] ---**
Not from our position, no.
**[18:39] ---**
People keep going in,
but nobody's coming out...
**[18:42] ---**
If the Mayor's still in there, too...
**[18:45] ---**
What the hell are the Sonozakis up to?
**[18:48] ---**
Be ready to storm the property
the second you hear anything!
**[18:52] ---**
I'm heading there now!
**[19:01] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:13] ---**
So, Satoko.
**[19:14] ---**
What is it?
**[19:16] ---**
Who told you to come here?
**[19:18] ---**
I told you, I received that notice.
**[19:20] ---**
You still don't know where Rika is,
but you came over here for soy sauce?
**[19:24] ---**
My, you haven't heard then, Mion-*san*?
**[19:27] ---**
Rika came out of hiding on her
own volition right after you left.
**[19:31] ---**
Oh, did she, now?
**[19:33] ---**
Apparently, she hid away
to give us all quite a scare.
**[19:37] ---**
You needn't worry about her anymore.
**[19:42] ---**
I'd like you to give me an honest answer.
**[19:46] ---**
Who told you to come here?
**[19:48] ---**
I'm done with your lies.
**[19:51] ---**
My, it almost sounds like
you know where Rika is, Mion-*san*.
**[19:58] ---**
Do you want to know...
**[20:00] ---**
...where she is?!
**[20:03] ---**
Yes, I do.
**[20:05] ---**
Then you answer me first!
**[20:08] ---**
Who's in charge?
Who in the village gave the order?!
**[20:11] ---**
I know they're after Kei-*chan*!
**[20:14] ---**
So, where is Rika?
**[20:19] ---**
Is she still alive?
**[20:22] ---**
If you're not going to answer me...
**[20:36] ---**
Why? How?!
**[20:45] ---**
Where is Rika?
**[20:46] ---**
Satoko!
**[20:50] ---**
My apologies, but I am
quite skilled with a firearm.
**[20:56] ---**
I have to thank you, Mion.
**[20:59] ---**
After all, *you* were the one
who taught me how to shoot so well.
**[21:04] ---**
Satoko! You little bitch--
**[21:10] ---**
I'd like to hear your answer.
**[21:14] ---**
Where is Rika?
**[21:18] ---**
You're too late.
**[21:20] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s dead! Sorry 'bout that!
**[21:24] ---**
She's dead? You're sure?
**[21:27] ---**
I grabbed her by the neck
and wrung her to death like a little bird!
**[21:30] ---**
I really hope she didn't survive that,
**[21:34] ---**
'cause I stuffed her into
the septic tank after that!
**[21:36] ---**
So either I choked her to death,
or she drowned in our own piss and shit!
**[21:43] ---**
Oh, *good*.
**[21:45] ---**
Huh?
**[21:48] ---**
If you're going to
describe it in such detail,
**[21:51] ---**
then you must truly
have seen her to her death.
**[21:54] ---**
I'll see you again very soon...
**[21:58] ---**
...Rika.

**[00:14] ---**
T'would seem all the pieces on the game
board are moving just as you wish them to.
**[00:19] ---**
I'm just getting started.
**[00:23] ---**
Rika needs to suffer far more.
**[00:30] ---**
She thought she had escaped
her hundred years of torture,
**[00:34] ---**
only to be dragged back
into the cycle of tragedy...
**[00:36] ---**
Each loop is a sharp burr,
digging into the cat's mind...
**[00:42] ---**
I'm quite grateful for this power.
**[00:44] ---**
With your gracious gift,
**[00:46] ---**
I'm now able to force
my stubborn Rika into capitulating.
**[00:51] ---**
No thanks are necessary.
**[00:54] ---**
Your antics allow me to stave off
my most detested state: boredom.
**[01:01] ---**
While I don't understand what
you find so entertaining about me,
**[01:06] ---**
I'm glad you enjoy it so.
**[01:10] ---**
Now, child...
**[01:12] ---**
...do not forget this most
important of facts.
**[01:15] ---**
You have rolled the dice
and begun the game.
**[01:20] ---**
You can no longer withdraw.
**[01:25] ---**
As long as your death
occurs after the cat's,
**[01:29] ---**
you will always travel
to the same fragment.
**[01:32] ---**
However...
**[01:33] ---**
If your death comes to pass
while the cat is still alive,
**[01:38] ---**
you will be transported to a fragment
where the cat does not exist:
**[01:42] ---**
one where she was never even born.
**[01:46] ---**
You do not object to these conditions?
**[01:50] ---**
I would hardly make
such a careless mistake.
**[01:59] ---**
Of course you wouldn't.
**[02:08] ---**
Too close.
**[02:09] ---**
I-I'm sorry!
**[02:11] ---**
You're not "au-au" -ing for me this time.
**[02:14] ---**
Huh?
**[02:15] ---**
Never mind.
**[02:17] ---**
Since I've got you here, let's have
ourselves a constructive discussion.
**[02:23] ---**
Though if I'm here,
it means a tragedy occurred again.
**[02:27] ---**
You can take a little break
if you're still in pain.
**[02:31] ---**
You shouldn't force yourself.
**[02:33] ---**
Sure.
**[02:35] ---**
If you're promising me that a tragedy
won't occur in the next world,
**[02:39] ---**
then I'll shut up and lie here
with my eyes closed.
**[02:42] ---**
Or are you going to rescue me?
**[02:45] ---**
What'll it be, Oyashiro-*sama*?
**[02:50] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[02:52] ---**
What should I do?
What should I have done?!
**[02:57] ---**
I told Keiichi to give the doll to Mion,
**[03:02] ---**
but it didn't work! Nothing changed!
**[03:05] ---**
Shion and Keiichi snuck into the ritual
toolshed and Kimiyoshi went missing!
**[03:11] ---**
Rika, the person who killed you--
**[03:14] ---**
--was probably Shion.
**[03:16] ---**
If *someone's* power wasn't so lacking,
maybe I could actually remember who!
**[03:21] ---**
Please, calm down and think it over.
**[03:24] ---**
Go over the things you *can* remember.
You might find some hints!
**[03:30] ---**
I don't want to.
**[03:33] ---**
Rika...
**[03:34] ---**
I don't want anyone to die.
**[03:37] ---**
I don't want my friends
or the villagers to die anymore.
**[03:43] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:45] ---**
I don't want to die anymore.
**[04:01] ---**
Rika?!
**[04:11] ---**
Whatever is the matter?!
**[04:12] ---**
N-Nothing!
**[04:17] ---**
I was just remembering
a really scary dream.
**[04:22] ---**
I'm okay.
**[04:26] ---**
You don't look "okay" at all.
**[04:42] ---**
Satoko! Satoko!
**[04:45] ---**
Why is this happening?!
Why do I have to keep doing this?!
**[04:55] ---**
If your nightmare was that horrible,
**[04:57] ---**
maybe it's not merely a dream, but a sign.
**[05:03] ---**
A sign?
**[05:05] ---**
What do you mean, a sign? From who?
**[05:08] ---**
Well, I'd assume it was
from a divine being.
**[05:14] ---**
Like...
**[05:16] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*!
**[05:23] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama* is the divine protector
of Hinamizawa, after all.
**[05:27] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama* must be trying to tell you
something through your nightmares.
**[05:33] ---**
What is he trying to tell me...
**[05:35] ---**
...by putting me through all this?
**[05:38] ---**
I couldn't tell you.
**[05:41] ---**
But Oyashiro-*sama* isn't an evil god.
**[05:45] ---**
He just wants you to be happy.
That's what he's trying to tell you.
**[05:50] ---**
But he isn't telling me anything!
There's no hidden message!
**[05:54] ---**
No matter what I do, the nightmares
never end! They just keep going!
**[05:59] ---**
Hey, Rika?
**[06:02] ---**
I swear I won't tell anyone,
so please, answer honestly.
**[06:08] ---**
Have you done anything
to make Oyashiro-*sama* mad,
**[06:12] ---**
or even *thought* about it?
**[06:15] ---**
Does anything ring a bell?
**[06:21] ---**
No, I haven't.
**[06:29] ---**
I'm a good priestess!
**[06:37] ---**
You liar.
**[06:41] ---**
Did you say something?
**[06:43] ---**
I heard you talking in your sleep once.
**[06:46] ---**
Huh?
**[06:48] ---**
"I hate living in the hick village
of Hinamizawa.
**[06:51] ---**
I want to leave here and
go to Fancy Name Academy instead."
**[06:59] ---**
One of Oyashiro-*sama*'s rules is
you can never leave the village, right?
**[07:04] ---**
And you're a priestess
at the Furude Shrine, Rika.
**[07:07] ---**
Th-That was a long time ago!
**[07:10] ---**
We can go on trips now!
We go to Okinomiya all the time to shop!
**[07:14] ---**
I promise I won't tell anyone.
**[07:17] ---**
Tell me, do you really want
something so blasphemous?
**[07:23] ---**
Th-There's nothing wrong with
wanting to go to a certain school!
**[07:27] ---**
Even I have the right to dream!
**[07:31] ---**
But you're Oyashiro-*sama*'s priestess.
Oyashiro-*sama*'s reincarnation, right?
**[07:36] ---**
I don't care about that!
**[07:39] ---**
I was born into that role!
I didn't get a choice!
**[07:43] ---**
I didn't want any of this!
**[07:59] ---**
So, Rika.
**[08:02] ---**
Why do you want to leave Hinamizawa?
**[08:14] ---**
Look how beautiful it is here.
**[08:18] ---**
Look how nice the weather is today.
**[08:21] ---**
The village always cared for us.
**[08:26] ---**
We played in its rivers,
walked between its fields,
**[08:30] ---**
looked down upon it
from the mountaintops...
**[08:33] ---**
Every single moment of our lives,
Hinamizawa was watching over us.
**[08:38] ---**
But then you said
you hated this "hick village."
**[08:43] ---**
If I were Oyashiro-*sama*,
**[08:45] ---**
I'd probably think
you were a little ungrateful.
**[08:57] ---**
If these nightmares you're having
are his way of punishing you...
**[09:03] ---**
If he's punishing me?
**[09:05] ---**
...maybe you should clear your mind...
**[09:07] ---**
...and think of all the wonderful things
here in Hinamizawa
**[09:12] ---**
that you've just happened to forget about.
**[09:16] ---**
I'm sure if you do...
**[09:22] ---**
...you won't have any more nightmares.
**[09:29] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[09:31] ---**
You've had bad times in this village, too,
but I was only thinking about myself.
**[09:37] ---**
It's okay.
**[09:39] ---**
I'm just happy getting
to be here with you, Rika.
**[09:44] ---**
Satoko...
**[09:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:57] ---**
"Saturday, June 11th, 1983"
**[10:05] ---**
"Okinomiya Titans"
"Hinamizawa Fighters"
**[10:08] ---**
We're still in this! It's only two outs!
**[10:11] ---**
This is our last chance.
**[10:15] ---**
We were stomping them until
that pitcher got on the mound...
**[10:20] ---**
You're so cool, Mii! You hit home runs
to both left and right field!
**[10:25] ---**
Your bat actually connects
with the ball, unlike Satoko!
**[10:29] ---**
Rika! You'll pay for that comment later!
**[10:35] ---**
--Hey, that's good!
--Go, go, go!
**[10:38] ---**
Safe!
**[10:39] ---**
Hell yeah!
**[10:41] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s up next!
**[10:43] ---**
All right...
**[10:45] ---**
Say goodbye to the ball,
because I'm going to hit a home run!
**[10:49] ---**
How's Satoko done in her last at bats?
**[10:51] ---**
Um, she struck out every time.
**[10:55] ---**
Her bat was *this* far away from the ball!
**[10:59] ---**
Huh. I see what she's doing.
**[11:03] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:05] ---**
Satoko-*chan*, Keiichi-*kun*'s here!
**[11:07] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s here to help us!
**[11:15] ---**
What is Keiichi-*kun* doing?
**[11:30] ---**
Yes!
**[11:31] ---**
What?!
**[11:32] ---**
I don't even need to run the bases!
**[11:36] ---**
We won, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:39] ---**
Why did you even need me?
**[11:43] ---**
Dammit!
**[11:45] ---**
A perfectly placed trap!
**[11:47] ---**
Just play it cool until the very
last moment to ensnare your opponent!
**[11:52] ---**
All right, Coach,
you remember the deal, right?
**[11:56] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th, 1983"
**[12:02] ---**
Wow, you guys are early!
**[12:05] ---**
My, *there* you are.
**[12:08] ---**
If only you'd arrived later.
Then I could have eaten all of your meat!
**[12:12] ---**
Think again, Satoko!
**[12:14] ---**
I'll use my superior reach to snatch
the best bits away from you!
**[12:19] ---**
E-Excuse me?! I-I absolutely
will *not* let you get away with that!
**[12:23] ---**
Calm down, I'll let you have
some bell peppers and eggplant.
**[12:27] ---**
I'll let you have lots and lots
of roast squash!
**[12:32] ---**
Squash?!
**[12:34] ---**
I'll let Coach know how much
you looove squash, Satoko.
**[12:39] ---**
I'm sure Coach would go out and
buy you all the squash in the country!
**[12:43] ---**
Ain't that something, Satoko! You'll have
squash for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
**[12:50] ---**
Rena-*san*!
**[12:53] ---**
W-Wait! Don't go to her, or she'll--
**[12:57] ---**
Stop that, Keiichi-*kun*! She's mine!
And I'm taking her home!
**[13:04] ---**
Don't just stand there!
Mion-*san*, Rika, you get in on it, too!
**[13:26] ---**
--I'm gonna take these ones.
--Man, that was so good...
**[13:29] ---**
Might I ask for a favor?
**[13:34] ---**
Rika-*chan*? Wait, where's Satoko?
**[13:37] ---**
Satoko went to go shopping for dinner.
**[13:40] ---**
She did? At just the right time, too.
**[13:43] ---**
She totally skipped out on clean-up!
**[13:46] ---**
Unlike you, Keiichi,
Satoko is really clever!
**[14:08] ---**
Oh yeah, here we go,
that's what I'm talking about!
**[14:11] ---**
*Ron!*
**[14:12] ---**
Man, I blew it! Wait, I'm still in this...
**[14:16] ---**
I believe I have myself a double *ron* here.
**[14:20] ---**
What?
**[14:24] ---**
*Yakuman?!*
**[14:27] ---**
Damn, you and Satoko-*chan*
wiped the floor with us today!
**[14:31] ---**
Talk about a one-two punch.
You guys win this one!
**[14:34] ---**
Hell yeah, Satoko! We won!
**[14:38] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[14:41] ---**
Satoko!
**[14:42] ---**
Man, Satoko-*chan*'s gotten damn good!
**[14:45] ---**
Bet she could be
a pro player in the future!
**[14:48] ---**
That's my niece for ya!
**[14:51] ---**
Smart *and* cute!
She'll beat anyone at *any* game!
**[14:57] ---**
All right, let's do another!
**[14:59] ---**
Sorry, but that's gonna be our last.
**[15:01] ---**
What? But it's so early.
The sun ain't even set yet.
**[15:06] ---**
I gotta walk Satoko back before dark.
**[15:09] ---**
If somethin' happened to her
walking back at night,
**[15:11] ---**
I'd never be able to live with myself!
**[15:17] ---**
You sure have changed, Tecchan.
**[15:19] ---**
They say nothin' changes
a man like a woman.
**[15:22] ---**
Who knew she'd be this little, though?
**[15:25] ---**
Satoko's the only family I got left.
**[15:30] ---**
I ain't the same man I was before.
**[15:35] ---**
Now, I'd die for Satoko if I had to.
**[15:40] ---**
You're so damn cool.
I'll be real, I like this new Tecchan!
**[15:48] ---**
Thanks for coming by to hang out.
**[15:51] ---**
If I didn't, your apartment
would turn into a landfill again.
**[15:56] ---**
Then all my hard work
cleaning it would be put to waste.
**[16:00] ---**
Thanks. I've never had to take care of
my own place before, so, y'know.
**[16:13] ---**
I expected worse from you, Uncle.
**[16:15] ---**
Here I thought you
would have spent this all.
**[16:18] ---**
I only take out what I need to get by.
I ain't gonna waste a penny.
**[16:23] ---**
Just thought, if something
were to happen to me,
**[16:28] ---**
I'd want there to be some left for you.
**[16:33] ---**
May I ask you something, Uncle?
**[16:37] ---**
Would you *really* die for me?
**[16:41] ---**
Yeah, of course I would!
**[16:43] ---**
If you ever need somethin' from me,
I'll throw my whole life into it!
**[16:51] ---**
Uncle, will you come
live with me in Hinamizawa?
**[16:55] ---**
Huh?
**[16:56] ---**
I need your help with something, Uncle.
**[17:07] ---**
She's been out shopping for far too long.
**[17:16] ---**
Could you tell me what it is
you need help with now?
**[17:20] ---**
Well...
**[17:30] ---**
I know you haven't lived here for a while.
**[17:35] ---**
Do you not want anyone to know we're here?
**[17:50] ---**
The hell are you lookin' at?!
**[17:51] ---**
N-Nothing!
**[17:54] ---**
C'mon, get inside, Satoko.
**[17:58] ---**
Yes, Uncle Teppei.
**[18:14] ---**
Thank you for that.
I didn't want them to stare at me.
**[18:19] ---**
You'll be safe in here.
**[18:23] ---**
Nobody can hear ya, either.
**[18:27] ---**
Oh, Uncle...
**[18:31] ---**
The truth is, I'm being
horribly bullied here.
**[18:38] ---**
By who? Who's the bastard
who's bullying you?!
**[18:44] ---**
I'll punch their lights out!
**[18:47] ---**
Don't.
**[18:48] ---**
Why the hell not?!
**[18:49] ---**
Just tell me who's doin' it
and I'll take care of them!
**[18:53] ---**
It's not just one person.
**[18:57] ---**
It's everyone in Hinamizawa.
**[19:01] ---**
*Everyone?*
**[19:02] ---**
That's why punching one or
two people won't fix anything,
**[19:05] ---**
it'll just make things worse.
**[19:10] ---**
Why are they doin' this to you?
**[19:12] ---**
You know why.
**[19:14] ---**
It's because my parents were
the leaders of the pro-dam movement.
**[19:18] ---**
What?
**[19:20] ---**
But my brother was the one who did
all that! You had nothin' to do with it!
**[19:26] ---**
The village considers
the Hojo family their enemy.
**[19:30] ---**
And the village comes together
to fight off their enemies.
**[19:34] ---**
That's how Hinamizawa works.
**[19:41] ---**
I just want to get along with everyone
and live here with a smile.
**[19:47] ---**
That's all I want,
just one little thing...
**[19:51] ---**
But apparently Satoko Hojo is...
**[19:53] ---**
...a bad person you should throw rocks at!
**[20:02] ---**
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Satoko!
**[20:05] ---**
I had no idea this was happenin' to you!
**[20:10] ---**
Please forgive me for bein'
so goddamn shameful! I'm sorry!
**[20:15] ---**
It's okay. It's not your fault, Uncle.
**[20:20] ---**
But if you wouldn't mind,
**[20:22] ---**
could you live here
with me for a little while?
**[20:25] ---**
--Huh?
--I'm so tired.
**[20:29] ---**
If I can't be happy out there,
**[20:31] ---**
at least I can be happy
at home with my family.
**[20:33] ---**
Sa... Satoko!
**[20:42] ---**
So you will plunge yourself into
a delightful pool of pity, then?
**[20:48] ---**
Teppei Hojo is here?
**[20:50] ---**
Yeah, someone saw him outside their house.
**[20:53] ---**
That horribly violent man?
What is he doing back here *now*?
**[20:58] ---**
Bet he did somethin' in Okinomiya and
had to get outta town. This ain't good.
**[21:03] ---**
We gotta tell the mayor.
Maybe Oryo-*san* can do somethin'.
**[21:08] ---**
I just feel bad
for Satoko-*chan*, the poor girl...
**[21:36] ---**
Satoko!
**[21:39] ---**
I was so worried.
Let's get dinner started!
**[21:43] ---**
Rika.
**[21:45] ---**
I came to get my things.
**[21:48] ---**
Huh?
**[21:49] ---**
I'm going to be living with
my uncle from now on.
**[21:59] ---**
How distraught the cat must feel!
**[22:04] ---**
My goodness, the two of you
are so *very* entertaining!
**[23:39] ---**

**[00:19] ---**
You don't have to do this.
**[00:23] ---**
You don't have to go back
and live with your mean uncle!
**[00:29] ---**
My Uncle and I are family.
**[00:33] ---**
Family living together
is nothing out of the ordinary.
**[00:35] ---**
But it is!
**[00:37] ---**
After the things your aunt
and uncle did to hurt you two,
**[00:41] ---**
you can't say they're family!
**[00:51] ---**
Please.
**[00:54] ---**
If I don't,
**[00:56] ---**
he'll destroy my *Nii-Nii*'s room.
**[01:01] ---**
So please, don't try to stop me.
**[01:12] ---**
Satoko!
**[01:15] ---**
You'll come to school, right?
You'll walk with me?
**[01:20] ---**
Of course.
**[01:22] ---**
I'll meet you at the bottom
of the stone steps.
**[01:35] ---**
Sorry to bother you so late, Mion-*chan*.
**[01:38] ---**
Oh, no, it's fine!
**[01:40] ---**
My Old Gran's already fast asleep, though.
Could you come by tomorrow morning?
**[01:47] ---**
I would, but...
**[01:50] ---**
Is everything okay?
**[01:52] ---**
There's just this rumor
goin' around the village.
**[01:55] ---**
How 'bout I tell you, and you decide if we
should tell Oryo-*san* about it?
**[02:01] ---**
So it's something serious.
**[02:02] ---**
Well, that's 'cause it involves the Hojos.
**[02:07] ---**
Someone says they spotted Teppei Hojo
at his house in the village.
**[02:12] ---**
We're sure it was him?
**[02:14] ---**
Yeah. Apparently, he yelled at 'em.
Definitely something he'd do.
**[02:23] ---**
That's all I came for. Tell Oryo-*san*
if you think she should know.
**[02:30] ---**
Satoko...

"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[04:10] ---**
"Monday, June 13th, 1983"
**[04:13] ---**
I'm going to school.
**[04:15] ---**
Satoko! You sure you don't
want me to walk with ya?
**[04:21] ---**
I'm just walking to school.
No need to make a fuss.
**[04:24] ---**
But it ain't like school is safe!
**[04:26] ---**
And what if someone
assaults ya on the way there?
**[04:31] ---**
Thank you for worrying about me.
**[04:33] ---**
Knowing you're here for me
gives me the strength to go on.
**[04:38] ---**
There's nothin' else I can do for you?
**[04:41] ---**
Just stay here, please.
**[04:44] ---**
No matter what horrible things
might happent o me out there,
**[04:47] ---**
I can come home to family.
**[04:49] ---**
You don't know how much that means to me.
**[04:53] ---**
Really?
**[04:57] ---**
I'm off, then, Uncle.
**[05:02] ---**
Mii-*chan*! Sorry we're late!
**[05:05] ---**
Mornin', Mion!
**[05:06] ---**
Really, you guys?
I was just about to ditch you.
**[05:10] ---**
Sorry! We can make it if we run, though!
**[05:13] ---**
I didn't *want* to have to run this early.
**[05:16] ---**
So, why're you late?
**[05:18] ---**
Keiichi-*kun* slept in late
'cause he was dreaming about Satoko!
**[05:25] ---**
C'mon, Rena! You're gonna make
her think it was something weird!
**[05:30] ---**
What's up?
**[05:31] ---**
Huh?
**[05:32] ---**
Nothing, just surprised you're
*that* smitten with Satoko.
**[05:37] ---**
I *said* it was nothing weird--
**[05:39] ---**
Crap, we really gotta run,
or we'll be late!
**[05:42] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:56] ---**
We'd better hurry,
or we'll both be late!
**[06:01] ---**
Rika...
**[06:03] ---**
I won't be able to walk
to school with you.
**[06:06] ---**
Why?
**[06:07] ---**
My uncle wants me to run a few errands.
**[06:10] ---**
What? But you can
just do that after school!
**[06:13] ---**
I have to go get them now.
**[06:15] ---**
You know how quick he is to anger.
**[06:21] ---**
Please, Satoko.
**[06:24] ---**
Just come to school with me,
and I'll walk you home this afternoon.
**[06:28] ---**
I have to do what my uncle says.
**[06:30] ---**
No, you don't!
**[06:32] ---**
Go off to school without me.
**[06:35] ---**
I wanted to tell you
in person, that's all.
**[06:40] ---**
I'll come to school when
I'm finished with these errands.
**[07:03] ---**
You're late, Furude-*san*.
And where is Hojo-*san*?
**[07:08] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[07:11] ---**
Satoko... might be a little late today.
**[07:15] ---**
Okay.
**[07:26] ---**
Rika-*chan*, is Satoko gonna come for lunch?
**[07:32] ---**
If Rika-*chan* doesn't wanna tell us,
we'll just have to wait for her.
**[07:35] ---**
It might not be
that big of a deal, anyway.
**[07:40] ---**
Hey, Mion. You know something, don't you?
**[07:43] ---**
Why do you think that?
**[07:44] ---**
You've been acting weird all morning.
**[07:49] ---**
Last night, I heard a rumor from
someone on the neighborhood council.
**[07:54] ---**
A rumor?
**[07:55] ---**
So Satoko has this uncle...
**[07:58] ---**
By uncle, you mean the one who beat her?!
**[08:01] ---**
Yeah. So you heard about him already, huh?
**[08:23] ---**
So Satoko's uncle, Teppei Hojo,
**[08:26] ---**
is apparently back in Hinamizawa.
**[08:34] ---**
Satoko!
**[08:37] ---**
Whatever is the matter, Keiichi-*san*?
**[08:38] ---**
We were worried about you!
Where've you been all morning?!
**[08:44] ---**
You're quite the worrywart, aren't you?
**[08:48] ---**
Satoko-*chan*...
**[08:49] ---**
Are you okay?
**[08:51] ---**
Do forgive me for the trouble.
**[08:53] ---**
I was merely running errands
for my uncle, that's all.
**[08:57] ---**
Errands? On a school day?!
**[09:00] ---**
Enough of that. Let's have lunch.
**[09:03] ---**
I'm feeling quite peckish.
**[09:08] ---**
Satoko...
**[09:19] ---**
Hey, we're all friends. Right, guys?
**[09:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:24] ---**
Rika-*chan*, could you tell us
what's going on now?
**[09:41] ---**
Dammit!
**[09:42] ---**
What he's doing is child abuse, right?
Can't we report it or something?
**[09:46] ---**
That's right! If we can find proof,
the police will--
**[09:49] ---**
We did report it.
**[09:51] ---**
I went to Child Welfare Services
in winter of last year.
**[09:53] ---**
You did? What'd they do?
**[09:55] ---**
They sent a social worker
to check it out right away.
**[09:58] ---**
They interviewed Satoko and Satoshi...
**[10:03] ---**
...then their aunt and uncle.
**[10:04] ---**
Wait, why would they
talk to the adults, too?
**[10:07] ---**
They said they wanted to "get both sides"
before making a decision.
**[10:11] ---**
How wonderfully "fair."
**[10:13] ---**
So what did Child Welfare say in the end?
**[10:14] ---**
-- "We'll keep an eye on them."
--What? The hell does that mean?!
**[10:17] ---**
They were beating them,
but it didn't leave any marks or anything.
**[10:21] ---**
And it wasn't like anyone
got recordings of his tirades.
**[10:24] ---**
Since the violence only happened at home,
there were no other witnesses.
**[10:47] ---**
What happened after that?
**[10:48] ---**
You know what happened.
**[10:50] ---**
The abuse got even worse.
**[10:53] ---**
Reporting didn't work.
**[11:00] ---**
Is there really nothing
we can do to help her?
**[11:24] ---**
S-Satoko!
**[11:26] ---**
I'm quite all right.
I just took a tumble, that's all.
**[11:30] ---**
Wh-Who's the bastard
that did this to you?!
**[11:32] ---**
I'll tear 'em to shreds!
**[11:36] ---**
Don't, Uncle!
**[11:37] ---**
When I'm through with that bitch,
they're gonna *wish* they were dead!
**[11:42] ---**
And they'll never do this bullshit again!
**[11:45] ---**
I'm fine, Uncle!
This is pratcially nothing!
**[11:49] ---**
Outta the way, Satoko!
**[11:52] ---**
Please, Uncle! Don't make a fuss!
**[11:55] ---**
Let go!
**[11:56] ---**
If I let go of you, I'll lose this home
and my family *again*!
**[12:01] ---**
Please, don't leave me all alone.
**[12:06] ---**
I-I just... I...
**[12:13] ---**
I'm all right, really.
**[12:17] ---**
After all, this house has
my family in it and no one else.
**[12:21] ---**
I'm sorry, Satoko.
**[12:23] ---**
I can forget all the bad things
that happened
**[12:26] ---**
and live a nice, quiet life with you.
**[12:31] ---**
That's the only thing I want now.
**[13:16] ---**
Good morning, class.
**[13:20] ---**
Furude-*san*...
**[13:22] ---**
Is Hojo-*san* going to be late again today?
**[13:29] ---**
Study on your own for a bit, everyone.
**[13:32] ---**
Let's talk, Furude-*san*.
**[13:36] ---**
Is the rumor about Hojo-*san*'s uncle true?
**[13:41] ---**
I know what's going on, then.
**[13:44] ---**
--So?
--Huh?
**[13:46] ---**
If you know all that,
then what can you do to help her?
**[13:51] ---**
I'll go visit her at home.
**[13:54] ---**
If I see something's wrong...
**[13:56] ---**
You're gonna call Child
Welfare Services on him, right?
**[13:59] ---**
They won't do anything
if you don't have proof of abuse.
**[14:02] ---**
Guys...
**[14:04] ---**
I told you to study on your own!
**[14:06] ---**
Screw studying right now!
**[14:07] ---**
Satoko's way more important!
**[14:10] ---**
I need to know what Hojo-*san*'s
home environment is like
**[14:13] ---**
so I can make a truthful report!
**[14:16] ---**
I also think we should let Chie-*sensei*
handle this right now.
**[14:21] ---**
Me, too.
**[14:23] ---**
I agree with Rena.
**[14:26] ---**
If you're okay with that,
Rika-*chan*, then okay...
**[14:29] ---**
Class Representative, please take
everyone back to the classroom.
**[14:33] ---**
C'mon.
**[14:53] ---**
You sure you shouldn't be lyin' down?
**[14:56] ---**
I felt a bit feverish this morning,
but I'm all right now.
**[15:02] ---**
Let's check... where's that thermometer?
**[15:06] ---**
I don't have a fever.
**[15:08] ---**
Well then, if you feel good tomorrow,
you can go back to school.
**[15:13] ---**
And I'll walk you there and back!
You can count on me!
**[15:16] ---**
I don't want to go.
**[15:18] ---**
I don't want to go to school.
**[15:21] ---**
Wait... are you sayin' that even
your classmates are bullyin' you?!
**[15:27] ---**
Everyone in my class
is from Hinamizawa, you know.
**[15:32] ---**
And your teacher ain't doin' anything?
She's just lettin' it happen?
**[15:37] ---**
If she was just ignoring it, then maybe
I could still get her to help...
**[15:42] ---**
Even your teacher's in on it?!
**[15:46] ---**
Hello! Are you here, Hojo-*san*?
**[15:56] ---**
The hell do you want, bitch?!
**[15:58] ---**
Are you Satoko-*san*'s uncle?
**[16:00] ---**
My name is Chie. I'm a teacher
at the school here in Hinamizawa.
**[16:04] ---**
You her teacher?
**[16:05] ---**
Can I speak with Satoko-*san*?
**[16:08] ---**
What? Why the hell you wanna talk to her?
**[16:12] ---**
She didn't come to school today,
and nobody called to report her absent.
**[16:18] ---**
Yeah, she's got a cold!
**[16:20] ---**
She's got a full-blown fever
and is feelin' like shit!
**[16:23] ---**
I see. Do you think she'll make it
to school tomorrow?
**[16:27] ---**
The hell should I know?!
**[16:28] ---**
We'll figure that out tomorrow!
**[16:36] ---**
Satoko...
**[16:38] ---**
Don't worry, I told her off! She's gone!
**[16:41] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:43] ---**
But that won't be enough to stop it.
Who knows what they'll do to me next?
**[16:49] ---**
I don't care if they all band together
against ya, I'll fight 'em off!
**[16:55] ---**
I knew you'd protect me, Uncle.
**[17:06] ---**
Chie-*sensei*!
**[17:07] ---**
You were all waiting for me?
**[17:09] ---**
How was Satoko? Is she okay?!
**[17:12] ---**
I... didn't get to see her.
**[17:15] ---**
But now we know what's going on.
**[17:18] ---**
Satoko's bastard uncle is
keeping her locked up in her house!
**[17:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:23] ---**
I'm going to call Child Welfare Services.
**[17:26] ---**
If I explain the situation to them,
I'm sure they'll do something about it.
**[17:30] ---**
I wasn't able to help...
**[17:32] ---**
But if you called, Sensei, then maybe...
**[17:42] ---**
Hello?
**[17:44] ---**
What? Child Welfare Services?
**[17:48] ---**
The hell you talking about?
I don't got nothing to do with that!
**[17:52] ---**
What? A welfare check?
I don't give a damn!
**[17:57] ---**
Uncle, let me talk to them.
**[18:00] ---**
You don't need to do that!
I'll handle this ridiculous--
**[18:04] ---**
--H-Hey...
--Hello?
**[18:05] ---**
Forgive the ruckus. This is Satoko.
**[18:10] ---**
You have questions for me, correct?
**[18:13] ---**
Of course, I have nothing to hide.
Ask me whatever you like.
**[18:22] ---**
I convinced them it was all
a misunderstanding.
**[18:25] ---**
The hell was CWS callin' us
in the first place?
**[18:28] ---**
There's only one reason.
**[18:30] ---**
This is just another way
the village is trying to bully me.
**[18:34] ---**
What?! This is their doin'?!
**[18:36] ---**
This won't be good.
**[18:39] ---**
CWS has the power to tear you and I apart.
**[18:45] ---**
The hell?! Ain't no way they can
get away with that! It can't be legal!
**[18:48] ---**
The village is lying to CWS.
**[18:52] ---**
Still, we should be careful so as to not
give them a real reason to separate us.
**[19:00] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th, 1983"
**[19:13] ---**
Good morning, Rika.
**[19:18] ---**
Good morning, Satoko!
**[19:21] ---**
Come, now, let's go to school.
**[19:23] ---**
Yeah, let's!
**[19:26] ---**
Are you okay now?
**[19:28] ---**
Yes, thank you for asking.
My cold has cleared up completely.
**[19:34] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[19:36] ---**
You should've gotten a call from CWS.
**[19:40] ---**
What of it?
**[19:42] ---**
I explained to them that they were
mistaken about my current situation.
**[19:50] ---**
"They'll keep an eye on them"?!
What the hell?!
**[19:53] ---**
Apparently, Child Welfare Services
made a phone call to Satoko's house.
**[19:57] ---**
And that was it.
**[19:58] ---**
So they decided to just
"wait and see"? That's crazy!
**[20:02] ---**
My, you all are loud this morning!
**[20:05] ---**
Satoko?!
**[20:06] ---**
Quiet down, please.
**[20:09] ---**
Satoko-*chan*! Are you okay?
**[20:17] ---**
How very sad.
**[20:19] ---**
T'would seem that the human Satoko Hojo
can now only feel happiness
**[20:24] ---**
when she is thrusting herself into despair
and being lavished with pity.
**[20:29] ---**
Now, she moves the pieces around the board
and fiddles with the hearts of others
**[20:33] ---**
in blind pursuit of that pleasure...
**[20:36] ---**
You brat...
**[20:40] ---**
Huh?
**[20:42] ---**
Wh-What's wrong, Satoko?
**[20:45] ---**
Satoko, are you okay?
**[20:51] ---**
So, she is no longer human.
She has become a *witch*.
**[21:01] ---**
Satoko!
**[21:03] ---**
A-Are you okay, Satoko?!
**[21:05] ---**
No!
**[21:12] ---**
Hey, Satoko!
**[21:17] ---**
No!
**[21:19] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[21:20] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:23] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:25] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[21:28] ---**
I hate this, I hate this! Please, stop it!
**[21:37] ---**
Forgive me! Please, forgive me!
**[21:44] ---**
I hate this, I hate this!
**[21:45] ---**
I hate it, I hate it!

No!

you hid my bank book in here!

Oh?

This may have been
one of the worst fragments,
**[01:11] ---**
but looking back on it now,
**[01:13] ---**
it was quite the happy fragment,
as I was able to have Rika all to myself.
**[01:19] ---**
It's not uncommon for those who live in
loops to see a change in what they value.
**[01:25] ---**
What was once tragedy is now joy.
**[01:28] ---**
I do quite like that.
**[01:30] ---**
And? Do you like what you've become?
**[01:32] ---**
You may no longer be human--
nay, no longer Satoko Hojo.
**[01:40] ---**
What a strange thing to proclaim, Eua-*san*.
**[01:43] ---**
I may be living in loops now,
but I am still myself.
**[01:47] ---**
After all, I'm still chasing after that
happy world where I can live with Rika.
**[01:54] ---**
Ah, yes.

**[04:42] ---**
What the hell?! Why couldn't
Child Welfare Services help her?!
**[04:47] ---**
Satoko made a false report before...
**[04:51] ---**
So they won't do anything
without real proof.
**[04:53] ---**
So what, just let her be abused
until she's bruised and scarred?!
**[04:56] ---**
Of course not! I'm just saying,
they need to be more careful--
**[04:59] ---**
Why the hell are you all
standing around doing nothing?!
**[05:03] ---**
Shion? Why are you here?!
**[05:05] ---**
Are you just going to wait
and let him kill Satoko?
**[05:08] ---**
We have to do something right now!
**[05:10] ---**
I agree with Shi-*chan* and Keiichi-*kun*.
**[05:14] ---**
We can't just wait and see what happens.
**[05:17] ---**
There must be something we can do!
**[05:19] ---**
What, though? Make another report
to Child Welfare Services?
**[05:23] ---**
Why do we have to go
through all that bullcrap?!
**[05:26] ---**
Let's just ambush the bastard
and beat him to a bloody, dead pulp!
**[05:36] ---**
I-Is this right?
**[05:39] ---**
"Everyday Recipes"
What's next...? "Put the chopped
vegetables in the pan"?
**[05:46] ---**
"Add a teaspoon of oil"?
**[05:51] ---**
The hell is a "teaspoon"?
**[05:53] ---**
Could ya make it any more
confusing, ya assholes?!
**[05:57] ---**
You just want me to add a "teaspoon"?!
**[06:04] ---**
How's this, then?!
**[06:08] ---**
Now *this* is cookin'!
**[06:10] ---**
What on Earth are you doing?!
**[06:14] ---**
--Satoko--
--Turn off the stove now!
**[06:18] ---**
S-Satoko?
**[06:20] ---**
My goodness, Uncle!
You very nearly burned the house down!
**[06:25] ---**
Sorry... I just wanted
to surprise ya with somethin'.
**[06:29] ---**
Well, I'm certainly surprised!
**[06:33] ---**
Still, whyever did you decide
to try to cook, Uncle?
**[06:36] ---**
I thought makin' something yummy
for ya might make ya feel better.
**[06:43] ---**
Thank you for the kind thought,
**[06:46] ---**
but what would happen if
the villagers reported this to CWS?
**[06:53] ---**
We're the only people
we can trust in this whole village.
**[06:59] ---**
We can't show any weakness.
**[07:01] ---**
Hey, Satoko. You think I should
call CWS and try to explain things?
**[07:07] ---**
It's the two of us
versus the whole village.
**[07:10] ---**
Who do you think they'll listen to?
**[07:13] ---**
Besides, if the Sonozaki family gets
involved, CWS will do whatever they say.
**[07:20] ---**
Ain't there anything we can do?
**[07:24] ---**
I just wanna have a quiet,
happy life here with ya.
**[07:27] ---**
That's all I want.
Why won't they let us be?
**[07:34] ---**
Come now, Uncle!
There's no use in fretting about it.
**[07:38] ---**
Let's get this kitchen
spic and span! I'll help.
**[07:43] ---**
First, we'll need water and some rags!
**[07:45] ---**
G-Good idea! Leave the liftin'
and scrubbin' to me!
**[07:56] ---**
"Child Welfare Services"
Here we are. We're doing this.
**[07:59] ---**
"Child Welfare Services"
Yeah! We're gonna get Satoko-*chan* back!
**[08:00] ---**
Yeah! We're gonna get Satoko-*chan* back!
**[08:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:04] ---**
I know this goes without saying,
but be on your best behavior, yeah?
**[08:07] ---**
What they do next is up to us.
**[08:11] ---**
Let's head in already.
**[08:12] ---**
If you're not going
to go with *my* idea,
**[08:15] ---**
then you'd better
make this work, Kei-*chan*.
**[08:19] ---**
Got it. Let's do this!
**[08:25] ---**
Oh? Look at that...
**[08:27] ---**
See something, sir?
**[08:29] ---**
Oh, no, just wondering what
the Maebara boy's doing in there.
**[08:35] ---**
At Child Welfare Services?
**[08:37] ---**
He was also with the head of the Furude
family and the two Sonozaki sisters.
**[08:45] ---**
Would you look into that
for me later, Kuma-*chan*?
**[08:49] ---**
Of course, sir!
**[08:54] ---**
Hey, Satoko, where do we put the...
**[09:27] ---**
"Thursday, June 16th, 1983"
**[09:31] ---**
Listen up, everyone!
**[09:34] ---**
I want to talk to
you guys about Satoko Hojo!
**[09:37] ---**
As you well know,
Satoko didn't come to school today.
**[09:56] ---**
What?
**[09:59] ---**
Uncle! Dinner's just about ready!
**[10:04] ---**
What's the matter?
**[10:05] ---**
N-Nothing! Lemme go hang these up to dry!
**[10:14] ---**
Hey, you! What're you doing,
snoopin' about, huh?!
**[10:18] ---**
Bastards!
**[10:22] ---**
Can't let your guard down
around anyone here!
**[10:25] ---**
It's not just one person.
**[10:27] ---**
It's everyone in Hinamizawa.
**[10:31] ---**
Can I really not do anything to help?
**[10:34] ---**
Isn't there somethin' I can do?
**[10:38] ---**
Our club members already launched
a strike on the CWS center!
**[10:42] ---**
All they did was write down that
"five classmates asked us to protect her."
**[10:48] ---**
Do you know what that means?
**[10:51] ---**
Five people isn't enough!
**[10:52] ---**
We need your help to save our friend!
**[10:56] ---**
Let's show 'em how strong
the Hinamizawa school spirit is!
**[11:02] ---**
What can I do?
**[11:04] ---**
How can I save Satoko from all this?
**[11:17] ---**
"Sevens Mart" Have a good one!
**[11:21] ---**
Is that right? Teppei Hojo's
back in Hinamizawa?
**[11:25] ---**
Yes, and we're not sure why.
**[11:29] ---**
Knowing him, he probably got too drunk
and picked a fight with the wrong guy.
**[11:35] ---**
That, or he got greedy and went after
yakuza protection money.
**[11:41] ---**
Either way, he's definitely not
hanging around Okinomiya anymore.
**[11:45] ---**
"Gifu Prefectural Police"
What do you think of the rumor that he's
keeping Satoko holed up in their house?
**[11:51] ---**
Maebara-*san* and his friends
could be blowing things out of proportion.
**[11:56] ---**
But seeing as I've arrested Teppei
more times than I can count,
**[11:59] ---**
I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
**[12:02] ---**
I pity poor, little Satoko-*san*.
**[12:07] ---**
Ooishi-*san*!
**[12:14] ---**
Well, well, fancy seeing you out here.
**[12:21] ---**
Wha--?!
**[12:24] ---**
Hold on there, Hojo-*san*!
What are you trying to pull?
**[12:29] ---**
Hey! Cut that out!
**[12:31] ---**
Hojo-*san*, do you need something from me?
**[12:36] ---**
Please, Detective! I need your help
with somethin' real important!
**[12:41] ---**
It must be serious if you're going
to make this much of a fuss about it.
**[12:50] ---**
Very well.
**[12:52] ---**
Could you stand up, please?
**[12:54] ---**
You're not in any position
to be asking favors of me,
**[12:58] ---**
but who am I to deny a guy
down on his knees asking for help?
**[13:05] ---**
I'm back, Satoko!
**[13:08] ---**
Welcome home, Uncl--
**[13:11] ---**
Hello there.
**[13:14] ---**
Well, well, you *did*
come back to this old place.
**[13:17] ---**
I can't say I've ever seen
the two of you together, Uncle.
**[13:22] ---**
Whatever is going on?
**[13:24] ---**
Just figured we needed
some allies to help keep you safe.
**[13:27] ---**
I wouldn't call me an ally just yet.
**[13:30] ---**
All you've asked of me is to come by
your home. I haven't heard the story yet.
**[13:36] ---**
I'll admit...
**[13:38] ---**
From the look of this place,
things aren't as bad as reported to CWS.
**[13:44] ---**
Let me explain everything to ya first.
**[13:50] ---**
The village is bullying her?
**[13:55] ---**
Can't say I believe that...
**[13:57] ---**
I know, you can't believe a word I say!
**[14:00] ---**
But you'll believe Satoko!
**[14:02] ---**
Everything he said is true. My uncle is
the only person I have on my side.
**[14:10] ---**
The villagers I pass by,
my classmates, everyone--
**[14:15] ---**
they all say I'm an "enemy."
**[14:20] ---**
Mind if I take a look around the place?
**[14:32] ---**
Don't see any clues of you
being locked up in here or abused.
**[14:48] ---**
And it doesn't look like
you're not being treated well.
**[14:52] ---**
Of course it doesn't.
**[14:54] ---**
My uncle isn't harming me
in any way, shape, or form.
**[14:59] ---**
My apologies.
**[15:07] ---**
I can't believe my uncle
asked Ooishi-*san* to help.
**[15:11] ---**
He believed my lie, *and* went
that far to help me? I'm shocked.
**[15:56] ---**
I'm so sorry, Ooishi-*san*.
**[16:00] ---**
You've tried so hard to solve the
Hinamizawa murders, but never succeeded.
**[16:06] ---**
But not to worry.
**[16:08] ---**
This medicine will open your eyes
to the truth you so desire.
**[16:20] ---**
What tragedy will Ooishi
bring about when he reaches L5?
**[16:25] ---**
I must say, I'm enthralled.
**[16:28] ---**
It will certainly be a sight
to stave off our boredom.
**[16:36] ---**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[16:39] ---**
My apologies for staying so late.
**[16:43] ---**
So will you help Satoko?
**[16:45] ---**
From what I saw, there was nothing here
that would warrant a call to CWS.
**[16:51] ---**
So you will!
**[16:52] ---**
I can't say or do much out in the public
eye, what with my being a public servant,
**[16:58] ---**
but if anything changes at all,
or you feel like you might be in danger,
**[17:04] ---**
call me right away.
**[17:06] ---**
I promise I'll do what I can to help.
**[17:10] ---**
I owe you my life!
**[17:13] ---**
I couldn't ask for a better ally
to have on my side than you, Ooishi-*san*.
**[17:19] ---**
Oh, now you're just flattering me.
**[17:22] ---**
Right then, call me.
**[17:45] ---**
*Oyassan...*
**[17:47] ---**
Every year, I promise
I'll finally avenge you.
**[17:50] ---**
I promised at your grave
that I'd find your missing arm.
**[17:55] ---**
This year, I'll do it.
**[17:58] ---**
I might be able to get close
to the criminals behind the curse.
**[18:02] ---**
Though i won't be doing it by the book!
**[18:14] ---**
Ooishi-*san*!
**[18:16] ---**
Sorry for the long wait.
I hope you're not mad at me, Kuma-*chan*.
**[18:20] ---**
No, I'm used to it.
**[18:22] ---**
So what was it that Teppei Hojo
wanted from you?
**[18:27] ---**
I'll have to tell you later, Kuma-*chan*.
**[18:30] ---**
Speaking of which, has anything
happened at Child Welfare Services?
**[18:34] ---**
They went to petition for her again
today--a bigger crowd than last time.
**[18:39] ---**
Maebara-*san*'s only just
moved here, after all.
**[18:42] ---**
He might've been convinced to join in with
the bullying without knowing what it is.
**[18:47] ---**
Bullying?
**[18:48] ---**
Kuma-*chan*, I hate to ask this of you,
but could you wait here a little bit?
**[18:52] ---**
Again? Sure, but where are you going now?
**[18:55] ---**
I'd like to walk around the village
and go up to the Furude Shrine.
**[19:00] ---**
Oh, right, Watanagashi is coming up.
Scoping out security?
**[19:03] ---**
Yes, just that.
**[19:05] ---**
I want to make sure the places that are
most likely associated with the curse
**[19:12] ---**
are kept well and secure.
**[19:15] ---**
I couldn't believe it. I never thought
I'd see him hangin' up laundry.
**[19:20] ---**
He sure was scary yellin' at us, though.
Guess that'll never change about him.
**[19:25] ---**
Hello there.
**[19:27] ---**
Why, if it ain't Ooishi-*san*!
How can we help ya?
**[19:29] ---**
I just went by the Hojo house
and heard Teppei screaming at someone.
**[19:38] ---**
I'm not surprised.
**[19:40] ---**
Y'see, we've also heard
that rumor goin' around--
**[19:45] ---**
'bout what's happenin' to poor Satoko.
**[19:46] ---**
Is he abusing her?!
**[19:48] ---**
We think so, but there's no proof.
**[19:50] ---**
Can't you do somethin' about it?
**[19:55] ---**
Sadly, I'm not allowed
to interfere in civil matters.
**[19:59] ---**
Though if you wouldn't mind,
would you keep an eye on them for me?
**[20:05] ---**
I suppose.
**[20:55] ---**
Good evening to ya, Detective.
**[20:57] ---**
Hello there. Workin' up a sweat?
**[21:00] ---**
Have you seen Teppei around?
**[21:03] ---**
What? You mean the Hojo guy?
No, haven't seen 'im.
**[21:08] ---**
Is that so? He was just here.
**[21:12] ---**
I saw him running away
from the shrine just now.
**[21:17] ---**
Teppei was up there?
**[21:18] ---**
He certainly wasn't prayin' to
Oyashiro-*sama*, so what was he doing?
**[21:22] ---**
No idea.
**[21:24] ---**
Hope he's not stealing
from the offering box.
**[21:29] ---**
There's no doubt about it now,
is there, my dear murderers?
**[21:37] ---**
You have the perfect target for your
demoning away--for Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[21:45] ---**
"Friday, June 17th, 1983"
**[21:48] ---**
Who would do something like this?
**[21:50] ---**
From what I heard, Teppei kicked it over,
**[21:54] ---**
then relieved himself
on the *torii* shrine gate...
**[21:56] ---**
The gall of that man!
**[21:59] ---**
You know what everyone's saying
about this year's curse, right...?
**[22:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:04] ---**
It'll hit the Hojos, no doubt about it.

**[00:27] ---**
What a childish prank.
**[00:30] ---**
Still, they've never come directly to
the house to antagonize me before...
**[00:36] ---**
There were those guys
snoopin' about our yard...
**[00:42] ---**
It must've been them!
**[00:45] ---**
Uncle, please, stay calm.
**[00:48] ---**
If you let your rage consume you
and turn to violence,
**[00:50] ---**
that will only give them
a reason to escalate.
**[00:54] ---**
I understand how you feel,
but we shouldn't retaliate--
**[01:01] ---**
Don't you worry.
**[01:03] ---**
I know my hair-trigger temper
not only lead me down a shitty life,
**[01:07] ---**
but it hurt the family
I love so damn much.
**[01:14] ---**
I was such a moron.
**[01:22] ---**
Yes, you certainly were.

"Child Welfare Services"
Maebara-*san*... You're the boss.
Want to kick things off?
**[01:31] ---**
Thank you so much for coming here today!
**[01:34] ---**
Satoko Hojo has been locked in her house
by her uncle for several days now!
**[01:41] ---**
The same uncle who physically abused her
then abandoned her for a year!
**[01:44] ---**
How is he fit to be her "guardian"?!
**[01:47] ---**
We can't stand by and watch
Satoko-*chan* suffer any more!
**[01:53] ---**
But look at this crowd!
We'll show CWS how much we care!
**[01:58] ---**
We're not going to abandon one of our own!
**[02:01] ---**
This is our third straight day
of petitioning CWS,
**[02:04] ---**
and we're going to go in there and
tell them to handle her case immediately!
**[03:54] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[04:24] ---**
How'd it go, Kei-*chan*?
**[04:25] ---**
Felt like a repeat of yesterday.
**[04:28] ---**
So they're just gonna
keep "monitoring" her?
**[04:31] ---**
Yes, and they'll make
a decision in a month's time.
**[04:36] ---**
A month?! Who knows how much permanent
damage Satoko will suffer in a month!
**[04:40] ---**
At the very least, they did
seem to take us seriously...
**[04:44] ---**
We told everyone
we'd be back at this tomorrow,
**[04:47] ---**
but we might lose a few people.
**[04:50] ---**
This is so frustrating.
**[04:52] ---**
Even if nobody shows,
I'm not going to back down!
**[04:57] ---**
Neither will I.

"Watanagashi Festival Planning Meeting"
**[05:18] ---**
Look, the dam war ended ages ago!
**[05:22] ---**
It's done and over, as are the days
of bandin' together and protesting!
**[05:26] ---**
I'm not talking about "those days"
or the dam war or anything!
**[05:30] ---**
I'm talking about the war
I'm fighting right now!
**[05:34] ---**
You should watch your tongue!
**[05:37] ---**
Young people these days!
**[05:40] ---**
All right. Let's see what you've got.
**[05:44] ---**
Let's just be honest here.
**[05:46] ---**
You're afraid there are people here
who are against helping out the Hojos.
**[05:50] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[05:51] ---**
I see.
**[05:53] ---**
Maebara-*san* really believes
he's doing the right thing here.
**[06:00] ---**
And now that his friends
have duped him into believing that...
**[06:05] ---**
...he's taking part in the harassment
without realizing it at all.
**[06:09] ---**
He thinks he's protecting Satoko-*san*,
**[06:11] ---**
when really, he's trying to tear her away
from her only surviving family
**[06:13] ---**
which will hurt her even more.
**[06:17] ---**
How would he react if he knew the truth?
**[06:22] ---**
And the village is using
the Hojos as an excuse
**[06:25] ---**
to get fired up and band together again,
just like they did in the good old days.
**[06:30] ---**
You're proving to be a very useful pawn
for the culprits behind the curse.
**[06:37] ---**
You're not half bad, Maebara-*san*.

"Saturday, June 18th, 1983"
**[06:45] ---**
Yesterday's got nothing on today's crowd.
**[06:47] ---**
The whole village responded
to his call to action.
**[06:54] ---**
At least, it would seem so on the surface.
**[06:57] ---**
Only on the surface?
**[06:59] ---**
It's all going according to
the village's grand scheme.
**[07:02] ---**
Still, he's shaping up to be
a future Hinamizawa bigshot.
**[07:06] ---**
You might want to get on good terms
with him as soon as you can, Kuma-*chan*.
**[07:19] ---**
Where are you going?
**[07:22] ---**
Next spring, I'll finally be
old enough to retire.
**[07:26] ---**
Better go make the chief
look good while I can.
**[07:33] ---**
Is that...
**[07:34] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Hello there!
**[07:43] ---**
Sir...
**[07:44] ---**
I'll give the Okinomiya PD another call!
**[07:47] ---**
Right, I'll get him.
**[07:53] ---**
Ooishi-*san*!
**[07:55] ---**
The chief's trying to radio you.
**[07:57] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[07:59] ---**
I need to step away for a moment.
**[08:02] ---**
I'd appreciate it if you all got
to dispersing this crowd.
**[08:09] ---**
Ooishi-*san*... I knew you were
going easy on them.
**[08:13] ---**
You're so quick to use force,
**[08:15] ---**
the second you tried to talk it out,
I knew something was up.
**[08:19] ---**
We'll let Maebara-*san*
take all the credit today.

Want a smoke?
**[08:30] ---**
Maebara-*san* doesn't doubt for a second
that he's doing the right thing.
**[08:37] ---**
What'd you say?
**[08:40] ---**
Now's the time to let *him* be the star
and for *us* to play a little pretend.
**[08:44] ---**
Huh?
**[08:46] ---**
Oh, my.
**[08:48] ---**
Here they are.
**[08:51] ---**
Let's go, Kuma-*chan*.
**[08:56] ---**
I know them!
**[08:58] ---**
How's it look down there?
Are they going to disperse?
**[09:06] ---**
O-Ooishi-*san* is talking to them right now.
**[09:14] ---**
What happened?!
**[09:16] ---**
They're coming in!
**[09:18] ---**
Okay, everyone! We're going in!
**[09:24] ---**
We're almost there, Satoko!
**[09:31] ---**
Now that smells damn good!
**[09:36] ---**
I can assure you, it tastes good, too!
**[09:38] ---**
Be a dear and set the table, will you?
**[09:41] ---**
I'm on it!
**[09:51] ---**
I'm so sorry for the trouble!
**[09:53] ---**
So you're gonna do something
to help her right away, yeah?
**[09:56] ---**
Of course!
**[09:57] ---**
Assistant Manager!
Head straight to the Hojo residence!
**[09:59] ---**
Wait, me?
**[10:02] ---**
Shouldn't we speak
with their social worker--
**[10:03] ---**
Please, she doesn't have much time!
**[10:07] ---**
O-Okay! I'll head out right away!
**[10:10] ---**
It's almost time for us
to move out, Kuma-*chan*.
**[10:12] ---**
If we don't do something, they may
very well scare Teppei out of the village.
**[10:17] ---**
Wait, is that a bad thing?
**[10:20] ---**
It would be. I need him to stick around
at least until Watanagashi.
**[10:29] ---**
Hold on a second, there.
**[10:31] ---**
You're not gonna try
to stop us again, are you?
**[10:34] ---**
Not at all.
**[10:36] ---**
Harayama-*san*!
**[10:37] ---**
If you're heading towards the Hojos,
then let me take you there.
**[10:41] ---**
--Huh?
--Are you sure?
**[10:43] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s uncle will have to
let them in if they show up with the cops.
**[10:48] ---**
You're right.
**[10:49] ---**
But why the change of heart,
Detective Ooishi?
**[10:55] ---**
I want CWS to understand
how horrific the Hojo situation is.
**[11:00] ---**
Seeing it first-hand's
the best way to do that.
**[11:03] ---**
All right. Thanks for the help.
**[11:05] ---**
Okay, Harayama-*san*, this way, please.
**[11:09] ---**
Oh, right! Could you all disperse now?
**[11:23] ---**
Teppei Hojo-*san* and Satoko-*san*, I presume?
**[11:26] ---**
My name is Harayama, and I'm from
Okinomiya Child Welfare Services.
**[11:30] ---**
Child Welfare Services?!
**[11:32] ---**
Dammit, Detective!
The hell is the meaning of this?!
**[11:35] ---**
I figured having them come by to see
**[11:37] ---**
the truth with their own eyes
would be faster than explaining it myself.
**[11:43] ---**
What do you mean, "the truth"?
**[11:49] ---**
The village has banded together
to harass me and my uncle.
**[11:54] ---**
--What?
--What?
**[12:06] ---**
You knew all this, Ooishi-*san*?
**[12:09] ---**
They came to me for help before.
**[12:12] ---**
Still, I can't believe it...
**[12:14] ---**
The whole village is really
working together to harass them?
**[12:17] ---**
Hinamizawa is the one place
where something this rotten could happen.
**[12:27] ---**
I've done a thorough search of your home,
and interviewed Satoko-*san*.
**[12:31] ---**
And?
**[12:33] ---**
To be perfectly honest,
**[12:36] ---**
your home situation is nothing like
what the protesters were declaring.
**[12:40] ---**
That's what we've been tellin' ya!
**[12:42] ---**
Now, then, since you know the truth,
what will CWS be doing with the Hojos?
**[12:48] ---**
As someone born and raised in Okinomiya,
I know Hinamizawa is a *unique* place.
**[12:54] ---**
And with the Sonozaki family involved,
I can't say I'm sure how to handle this.
**[13:00] ---**
How about this, then?
**[13:02] ---**
Transfer responsibility
of this case to me.
**[13:07] ---**
Hand it over to the police.
**[13:10] ---**
Hold on, Ooishi-*san*!
We haven't even asked the chief if--
**[13:13] ---**
What do you say?
**[13:19] ---**
Yes, that will do.
I leave it to you, then.
**[13:23] ---**
Smart choice.
**[13:27] ---**
Come to think of it,
Watanagashi is tomorrow, isn't it?
**[13:32] ---**
What about it?
**[13:34] ---**
You're well aware of
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse, yes?
**[13:37] ---**
A curse that targets
the village's enemies...
**[13:39] ---**
isn't that right?
**[13:42] ---**
We're the village's enemies.
**[13:44] ---**
That's right.
**[13:45] ---**
It's very likely that the criminals who
carry out that curse will come after you.
**[13:52] ---**
I'd recommend staying inside
all day tomorrow.
**[13:55] ---**
I-Is that enough to keep us safe?!
**[13:58] ---**
I'll keep watch over your house at night
when the festival's going on.
**[14:05] ---**
You'll be safe.
**[14:29] ---**
Hello?!
**[14:30] ---**
Rika?
**[14:32] ---**
Are you okay?!
Did Ooishi and CWS come to your--
**[14:36] ---**
Calm down, please.
**[14:38] ---**
Keiichi-*san* asked me the very same thing
when I called him just now.
**[14:42] ---**
So what happened, then?
**[14:45] ---**
When I asked for help,
my uncle got angry and attacked me...
**[14:50] ---**
But Ooishi-*san* subdued him
and took him off to the police station.
**[14:59] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[15:01] ---**
I'm fine. And now, my uncle will
never return to this house ever again.
**[15:09] ---**
Good.
**[15:11] ---**
I'm so glad you stood up and fought.
**[15:14] ---**
You fought fate and won.
**[15:17] ---**
Rika...
**[15:19] ---**
Now, I'll finally be free.
**[15:29] ---**
She probably thinks
she's found a nice happy ending.
**[15:33] ---**
But Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
is only just beginning.
**[15:40] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th, 1983"
**[15:43] ---**
So Satoko-*chan* can come
celebrate Watanagashi with us?!
**[15:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:47] ---**
She told me over the phone she's looking
forward to "thoroughly enjoying" it!
**[15:51] ---**
Sounds like Satoko-*chan*, all right.
**[15:53] ---**
Hey, there they are!
**[15:56] ---**
Mii-*chan*, sorry we're late!
**[15:59] ---**
Ta-dah! Guess who's coming with you?
**[16:03] ---**
We're just missing those two now.
**[16:05] ---**
Rika-*chan* is going to pick Satoko up.
**[16:08] ---**
Then the gang will be back together again!
**[16:10] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[16:11] ---**
Tonight's gonna be so special,
I just know it!
**[16:23] ---**
My, you're finally awake?
**[16:30] ---**
My head's so heavy...
**[16:38] ---**
The hell is wrong...
**[16:45] ---**
Rika should be here very soon.
What terrible timing you have, Uncle.
**[16:50] ---**
I'm supposed to be a pitiful princess who
was just rescued from her horrible uncle.
**[16:56] ---**
And at the festival, everyone in
the village will worry about me,
**[16:59] ---**
support me, and fawn over me.
**[17:02] ---**
Satoko? You okay? Did somethin'
happen while I was passed out?
**[17:07] ---**
I thought the villagers were bullyin' ya.
**[17:13] ---**
Uncle.
**[17:14] ---**
Yeah?
**[17:17] ---**
What did you think of the time
we spent here together?
**[17:24] ---**
It was nice.
**[17:27] ---**
A shithead like me
barely deserved to feel...
**[17:31] ---**
...as happy as I did.
**[17:33] ---**
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
**[17:37] ---**
But that ends here.
**[17:43] ---**
S-Satoko?
**[17:46] ---**
It's time for you to die.
**[17:57] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:00] ---**
What the hell is happening?!
**[18:05] ---**
Uncle!
**[18:06] ---**
Run!
**[18:08] ---**
What? I'm certainly not going
to let him get away!
**[18:17] ---**
Please, Uncle,
**[18:19] ---**
y-you have to run!
**[18:21] ---**
S-Satoko?! What's happenin' to you?!
**[18:33] ---**
Don't be a fool!
**[18:56] ---**
Please, stop!
**[18:58] ---**
Have you lost your senses?!
**[19:00] ---**
I'm through with this!
I'm through with *all* of this!
**[19:03] ---**
I don't want to kill my Uncle!
I don't want to kill anyone else!
**[19:07] ---**
I don't want anyone else to die!
**[19:09] ---**
I am living through these endless loops
to ensure Satoko Hojo's happiness!
**[19:15] ---**
You're not me! You aren't *me* anymore!
**[19:18] ---**
Give me back! Give Satoko back to me!
**[19:21] ---**
Excuse me?
**[19:25] ---**
Whatever are you saying?
**[19:26] ---**
I am Satoko.
**[19:39] ---**
So what does that make you?
**[19:41] ---**
You claim to be Satoko, but you are merely
the leavings of an old fragment!
**[19:45] ---**
No, I'm not!
**[19:46] ---**
Yes, you certainly are.
Give me back to you?
**[19:50] ---**
I am Satoko Hojo!
**[19:53] ---**
It's high time you ceased to exist!
**[19:57] ---**
I don't know where I went wrong...
**[20:02] ---**
But I went wrong *somewhere*!
**[20:04] ---**
I love Rika!
**[20:06] ---**
I love Rika so much!
**[20:08] ---**
I want to be with Rika forever!
**[20:11] ---**
I just learned to be honest
about that love, that's all!
**[20:16] ---**
But I must've gone wrong somewhere.
**[20:19] ---**
So you *can't* be right!
**[20:27] ---**
From my perspective,
**[20:29] ---**
*you* went wrong when your outdated
emotions rejected this current reality.
**[20:36] ---**
I am Satoko Hojo.
**[20:38] ---**
I am one who lives in loops. One who
traverses the great sea of fragments.
**[20:44] ---**
Indeed, I am a *witch*.
**[20:58] ---**
Eua-*san*?
**[21:00] ---**
Your tale--
**[21:01] ---**
nay, your *shared* tale is so
unfathomably entertaining!
**[21:07] ---**
Lending you my power
was truly an apt decision!
**[21:14] ---**
You... You knew,
**[21:16] ---**
from the very beginning...
**[21:18] ---**
I will say, though you
happily received my power,
**[21:22] ---**
your manner of speaking
was somewhat unpleasant at times.
**[21:25] ---**
Even so, this has all been
*quite* amusing, Satoko.
**[21:35] ---**
If your current state brings you anguish,
**[21:38] ---**
then to reward you, I shall relieve you
of those emotions forevermore.
**[21:50] ---**
You are so truly entertaining!
**[21:58] ---**
I was so stupid.
**[22:01] ---**
My, I'm not stupid in the slightest.
**[22:15] ---**
Satoko...?
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:58] ---**
Oh, goodness, me.
**[01:45] ---**
Excellent timing, Rika.
**[01:49] ---**
I'll be right there!
Just one moment, please!
**[01:56] ---**
I'm here to pick you up!
**[02:00] ---**
I'm all ready to go.
**[02:02] ---**
Come, now! Tonight is Watanagashi!
**[02:06] ---**
Is your house still dirty?
I can help clean up a bit if you want!
**[02:12] ---**
That won't be necessary.
**[02:14] ---**
It's only in a bit
of disarray, that's all.
**[03:46] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[03:53] ---**
Do forgive me for the delay, everyone!
**[03:55] ---**
Satoko-*chan*!
**[03:56] ---**
The coach told me you were supposed
to stop by the clinic for a check-up,
**[04:01] ---**
but you said no.
**[04:02] ---**
That's right, I'm fit as a fiddle!
**[04:04] ---**
I get it! You were scared to spend
the night there by yourself, huh?
**[04:09] ---**
After all, Satoko can't fall asleep
without me in bed with her.
**[04:15] ---**
What's that supposed to imply? What?!
**[04:18] ---**
Well, you see--
**[04:20] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[04:21] ---**
I was going to hear you out, but my,
what kind of person do you take me for?
**[04:27] ---**
I thought we'd never get these happy,
fun times back...
**[04:32] ---**
Yeah, but we got 'em back.
**[04:36] ---**
Together.
**[04:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:39] ---**
Okay! We've got Kei-*chan*
and Shion with us this year,
**[04:41] ---**
so it's time for the Watanagashi
Six-Demon Battle Royale!
**[04:44] ---**
My, already? I won't hold back, you know!
**[04:48] ---**
No idea what that is,
but I'm down for a battle!
**[04:51] ---**
Okay, rules for today are simple:
whoever has the most fun, wins!
**[04:55] ---**
That sound good?
**[04:56] ---**
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
**[05:05] ---**
Hanyuu...
**[05:08] ---**
Even if you can't be by my side anymore...
**[05:11] ---**
Even if you can't see
these happy moments...
**[05:15] ---**
I'll still tell you, again and again.
**[05:20] ---**
--Just look at this.
--Hey, Satoko-*chan*!
**[05:22] ---**
--We managed to win.
--Hey, Satoko-*chan*!
**[05:25] ---**
We've changed our
tragic future once again.
**[05:37] ---**
You don't need to worry anymore, Hanyuu.
**[05:41] ---**
We've escaped this dead end.
**[05:48] ---**
We can create our own miracles...
**[05:50] ---**
...and cut ourselves free of fate!
**[07:05] ---**
Satoko?
**[07:06] ---**
It's just getting started...
**[07:20] ---**
Satoko, you sly devil.
**[07:25] ---**
What'd you want to talk to me up here for?
**[07:27] ---**
Rika told me everything.
**[07:29] ---**
About how you hard you worked
to help me, everything.
**[07:33] ---**
It was no big deal.
We're friends, aren't we?
**[07:37] ---**
I'm really thankful
for all you've done for me.
**[07:41] ---**
I'm sorry, but I have one
more favor to ask of you.
**[07:46] ---**
Would it be all right...
**[07:48] ---**
...if I called you "Nii-Nii"?
**[07:52] ---**
Huh? But isn't that...
**[07:54] ---**
You don't like the nickname "Nii-Nii"?
**[07:56] ---**
N-No, it's fine, I just...
**[07:59] ---**
Then it's settled!
**[08:01] ---**
Nii-Nii!
**[08:04] ---**
Nii-Nii!
**[08:09] ---**
Y-Yeah!
**[08:13] ---**
Also, there's something
I'd like to give you.
**[08:16] ---**
It was something
very important to my Nii-Nii.
**[08:21] ---**
But now that *you're*
my Nii-Nii, Keiichi-*san*,
**[08:23] ---**
I want *you* to have it.
**[08:27] ---**
If you really feel that way, then sure.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm embarrassed for anyone
to know about this,
**[08:33] ---**
so let's go before they know we're gone!
**[09:04] ---**
Dammit!
**[09:05] ---**
Why does it have to be so damn itchy?!
**[09:09] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[09:19] ---**
What's this? You again, Maebara-*san*?
**[09:27] ---**
Come on now, don't be a stranger!
**[09:29] ---**
After all, this is
your house too, Nii-Nii!
**[09:37] ---**
Hey, Satoko, your uncle
got arrested, right?
**[09:41] ---**
That's right. We're the only ones
here right now.
**[09:45] ---**
It's just you and me.
**[09:48] ---**
So what was that thing
you wanted to give me?
**[09:50] ---**
Wait right here, okay?
**[09:53] ---**
Okay.
**[10:03] ---**
Let's see, where's the switch...
**[10:20] ---**
Rika...
**[10:24] ---**
This is the end of your little miracle.
**[10:30] ---**
It's time, now...
**[10:36] ---**
...for your despair!
**[11:21] ---**
The rest I leave to you, Ooishi-*san*.
**[11:34] ---**
No!
**[11:38] ---**
Hojo-*san*!
**[11:43] ---**
What happened?! Whose blood is that?!
**[11:49] ---**
You were just with
Maebara-*san*, weren't you?
**[11:52] ---**
Where is he? And where is Teppei-*san*?!
**[12:00] ---**
This is pointless!
**[12:36] ---**
G-Good god...
**[12:38] ---**
Keiichi-*san* did it.
**[12:40] ---**
Keiichi-*san* said it was the curse.
**[12:43] ---**
What about the curse?!
**[12:45] ---**
Did he attack Teppei because
he's an enemy of the village?!
**[12:50] ---**
If you're trying to protect him,
then you're *just* as guilty!
**[12:53] ---**
Ugh, I'm so damn itchy!
**[12:57] ---**
He came to me
when I was watching Rika's dance.
**[13:00] ---**
What?
**[13:01] ---**
Keiichi-*san* grabbed my hand
and took me away from the shrine.
**[13:06] ---**
He said we really needed
to go to my house and talk.
**[13:10] ---**
Keiichi Maebara invited himself over?
**[13:13] ---**
To the home where
their enemy, Teppei, lived?
**[13:17] ---**
No, no, someone must have
told him to do it!
**[13:21] ---**
Someone in the village.
The person behind the curse!
**[13:24] ---**
Keiichi-*san* suddenly started
screaming about being my Nii-Nii,
**[13:30] ---**
then grabbed the bat
from my brother's room.
**[13:34] ---**
The very same brother who went missing
due to the curse, Satoshi Hojo?!
**[13:38] ---**
I knew it! It's all connected!
**[13:40] ---**
I was right all along!
**[13:42] ---**
Keiichi-*san* attacked
my uncle with the bat...
**[13:47] ---**
But my uncle grabbed the bat
out of his hands and... and...
**[13:52] ---**
I tried to stop them,
**[13:55] ---**
but my uncle was just so angry
at Keiichi-*san* for getting CWS involved...
**[14:01] ---**
Nothing I said could get through to him.
**[14:05] ---**
But Keiichi-*san* didn't give up,
and he kept fighting my uncle...
**[14:11] ---**
I could have stopped them
if I'd tried harder...
**[14:15] ---**
Never mind that.
What else did Maebara-*san* say?
**[14:19] ---**
--Huh?
--The curse!
**[14:21] ---**
What did he say about the curse?!
**[14:25] ---**
That's right! When he was beating
my uncle, he kept saying something...
**[14:30] ---**
"This is Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse!"
**[14:35] ---**
Yes! I knew it!
**[14:38] ---**
The culprits were using our sweet,
obedient Maebara-*san* as their pawn!
**[14:42] ---**
They must've asked him to carry out
the curse to prove his loyalty!
**[14:52] ---**
And this is the solid, undeniable proof!
**[14:55] ---**
Oyassan, after five long years,
**[14:58] ---**
I've finally found the connection
between Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
**[15:02] ---**
and the string of murders in Hinamizawa!
**[15:05] ---**
Soon! Soon, I'll be able to come
to your grave and tell you the truth!
**[15:10] ---**
This proof will lead me straight to
the person behind the curse!
**[15:15] ---**
There are only a few people with the
authority to order something like this!
**[15:20] ---**
Think! *Think*, Kuraudo Ooishi!
There must be a clue somewhere!
**[15:26] ---**
I'm so happy for you.
**[15:28] ---**
So, Detective, how is your neck feeling?
**[15:32] ---**
My neck?
**[15:33] ---**
Ugh, it's so itchy, so itchy!
**[15:37] ---**
Dammit, I was just about
to have the answer, too!
**[15:40] ---**
Why is it so goddamn itchy?!
**[15:43] ---**
My condolences. You must be
entering the final stage.
**[15:49] ---**
Who is it? Who gave the order?! Who?!
**[15:53] ---**
Someone *ordered* this? Who would
tell someone to do something like this?
**[15:59] ---**
That's right! Keiichi-*san*
mentioned her name...
**[16:02] ---**
No!
**[16:05] ---**
She would never...
**[16:10] ---**
What did Maebara-*san* say?
**[16:13] ---**
Try to remember! What was it?!
**[16:18] ---**
He said that Rika told him to do this.
**[16:22] ---**
Rika Furude!
**[16:24] ---**
She *is* the head of
one of the Three Families!
**[16:27] ---**
Of course the Furude Shrine
would carry out the curse!
**[16:31] ---**
I've connected all the pieces! This is it!
**[16:35] ---**
I finally have all the proof I need!
**[16:50] ---**
Now, go and shatter
Rika's heart into pieces,
**[16:55] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*'s dear familiar.
**[17:02] ---**
Doesn't look like Keiichi-*kun*
and Satoko-*chan* are back yet.
**[17:05] ---**
I'd better head home soon, too,
**[17:07] ---**
else old Gran will force me to
"make conversation" with my relatives.
**[17:10] ---**
Oh, I'll go with you.
**[17:13] ---**
I can stay the night in the guest house.
**[17:15] ---**
Why, if it isn't Miss Rika!
What's the matter?
**[17:19] ---**
Have you seen Tomitake?
You might have seen him with Takano.
**[17:25] ---**
Oh, yeah, I just saw them
in the parking lot...
**[17:31] ---**
Ooishi?
**[17:35] ---**
I've been looking for you,
**[17:38] ---**
Rika Furude-*san*!
**[17:42] ---**
Wha-- Detective?!
**[17:43] ---**
Are you drunk?!
**[17:48] ---**
Why?
**[17:52] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[17:53] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[17:55] ---**
I finally solved the mystery!
**[17:57] ---**
Hey! Snap out of it--
**[18:19] ---**
You are such delightful
entertainment, children of man.
**[18:23] ---**
Detective Ooishi!
**[18:24] ---**
I'll hear what you have to say!
I'm the next head of the Sonozaki Family!
**[18:27] ---**
Just let go of Rika-*chan*!
**[18:28] ---**
What?
**[18:31] ---**
No!
**[18:35] ---**
Mion! Now's your chance to get Rika--
**[18:37] ---**
Don't you get in my way!
**[18:39] ---**
Shion!
**[18:40] ---**
Stop...
**[18:50] ---**
My, it's getting quite lively.
**[18:54] ---**
No... way...
**[18:58] ---**
Please, stop.
**[19:00] ---**
Shii-*chan*! Mii-*chan*!
**[19:02] ---**
Take care of Kei-*chan* for me, Rena.
**[19:10] ---**
*No!*
**[19:14] ---**
--Rika-*chan*! Rika-*chan*!
- Please, Ooishi-*san*, don't!
**[19:18] ---**
--Now, confess! Tell me the truth!
--Rika-*chan*! Rika-*chan*!
Please, Ooishi-*san*, don't!
**[19:20] ---**
--Now, confess! Tell me the truth!
--You've already done so many
horrible things! You can take me instead!
**[19:22] ---**
--Rika Furude!
--You've already done so many
horrible things! You can take me instead!
**[19:29] ---**
How could this
perfect world end like this?
**[19:34] ---**
What? What'd you say?
**[19:37] ---**
Nothing. Just end it.
**[19:39] ---**
--What?!
--I won't reveal the secrets of the curse.
**[19:42] ---**
You'll die knowing nothing.
**[19:45] ---**
You little brat!
**[19:48] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[19:52] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[19:56] ---**
Talk! Talk! Talk!
**[20:00] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[20:04] ---**
Talk! Talk! Talk!
**[20:09] ---**
Talk!
**[20:13] ---**
Satoko-*chan*! Stay back!
**[20:15] ---**
My, you're still not done?
**[20:18] ---**
For all your bark,
you're lacking in bite, Ooishi-*san*.
**[20:22] ---**
Huh?
**[20:23] ---**
What?
**[20:25] ---**
Is that how it is?!
**[20:27] ---**
*Now* I've got it!
**[20:30] ---**
The *real* culprit manipulating
everything to their whim...
**[20:32] ---**
The person behind the curse
was *you* all along!
**[20:36] ---**
Yes, that's correct.
**[20:50] ---**
Rika? Are you quite dead?
**[20:57] ---**
If you're still alive, then I can't travel
to the next fragment with you.
**[21:03] ---**
Ah, yes, there's one way
to ensure you're dead.
**[21:10] ---**
Now I'm *certain* you're dead.
**[21:13] ---**
S-Satoko-*chan*...?
**[21:16] ---**
Huh? What?
**[21:19] ---**
*No!*
**[21:23] ---**
I won't let you escape just yet, Rika.
**[21:26] ---**
Until you accept your happy future
with me in Hinamizawa...
**[21:30] ---**
...I will never, ever let you
escape--and that's *for certain*.
**[21:52] ---**
Now, then.
**[21:54] ---**
Whatever will you do about this?
**[22:00] ---**
Whatever *can* you do when you cannot even
view the fragments, O pitiful failure?

**[00:20] ---**
Rika!
**[00:31] ---**
It ended in tragedy again...
**[00:40] ---**
A thousand years ago...
**[00:44] ---**
When I was despairing over the
cruel nature of the world of men,
**[00:47] ---**
I took on the sins of the world
**[00:49] ---**
and cleansed the men to whom
I offered myself in sacrifice.
**[00:54] ---**
The one I entrusted with that sacrifice
**[00:58] ---**
was my very own daughter.
**[01:01] ---**
In the millennia that passed afterwards,
**[01:03] ---**
I continued to despise the world of man.
**[01:06] ---**
But nothing lasts forever.
**[01:10] ---**
Not walls, not doors, not hearts.
**[01:16] ---**
Not even the power that kept me
sealed away from the human world.
**[01:21] ---**
Furude family lore declares that,
if for eight consecutive generations,
**[01:26] ---**
the first-born Furude child is a girl,
then Oyashiro-*sama* will be reincarnated.
**[01:30] ---**
That's why, Rika, when you were born
as the eighth consecutive female child...
**[01:36] ---**
At long last--
**[01:37] ---**
I finally had regained
my view of the human world.
**[01:45] ---**
The millennia I spent
rejecting the world of men
**[01:48] ---**
was no more than a
cage of my own loneliness.
**[01:52] ---**
Perhaps that one-sided
despair was punishment
**[01:55] ---**
for forcing my daughter
to carry out that horrific act.
**[02:05] ---**
When girls continued to be born into
the family and your mother was with child,
**[02:11] ---**
oh, how I prayed it would be a girl.
**[02:16] ---**
You would be my first friend in a
thousand years, my very own daughter,
**[02:20] ---**
with whom I would share life.
**[02:24] ---**
But in that first June of 1983,
**[02:28] ---**
I committed a grave sin once more.
**[02:35] ---**
To avert your fated death,
**[02:37] ---**
I granted you power and turned
you into one who lives in loops.
**[02:41] ---**
Goodnight, now,
**[02:45] ---**
Rika-*chan*.
**[02:56] ---**
But my power was imperfect.
**[02:58] ---**
It would only bring you
a hundred years of suffering.
**[03:03] ---**
Your spirit was driven
to the brink of death,
**[03:06] ---**
and you cursed the dice of fate that
continued to bequeath despair unto you.
**[03:12] ---**
And yet...
**[03:15] ---**
...you never gave up.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm Hanyuu Furude.
**[03:26] ---**
She's so cute! Wait, Furude?
**[03:31] ---**
That's right!
She's a distant relative of mine!
**[03:36] ---**
Your strength changed my role
from mere bystander to participant.
**[03:42] ---**
Then...
**[03:44] ---**
The human world is
just like a game of Old Maid.
**[03:47] ---**
I happened to draw the Joker.
**[03:49] ---**
But there's nobody else
to pass the card to now.
**[03:52] ---**
So in revenge, I'm going to shoot you all!
**[03:55] ---**
Fitting for this irrational
world of men, isn't it?!
**[04:01] ---**
Hanyuu?!
**[04:03] ---**
Brave Mion. You've shown
more than enough courage.
**[04:07] ---**
If the Joker can't be passed
to anyone else in this world of men,
**[04:12] ---**
then it is my job to accept it.
**[04:16] ---**
Hanyuu, what are you doing?!
**[04:19] ---**
Rika, I had so much fun in this world.
**[04:23] ---**
It was so much more fun to play
with you in club than to just watch.
**[04:27] ---**
Thank you.
**[04:29] ---**
Spending time with you all brought me
more happiness than a god could handle.
**[04:34] ---**
Come, shoot me, child of man,
**[04:36] ---**
with that sin you must foist
onto another in this world of men!
**[04:40] ---**
Fine. Fine, fine, *fine*!
**[04:45] ---**
Then die!
**[04:51] ---**
After witnessing a miracle
in the world of men,
**[04:54] ---**
I, Hanyuu, returned
to the sea of fragments.
**[04:59] ---**
Good night, Rika.
**[05:02] ---**
Sweet dreams.
**[05:33] ---**
Rika...
**[05:34] ---**
Despite what it meant,
I was so happy to see you again.
**[07:07] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[07:11] ---**
You little brat!
**[07:15] ---**
Talk! Talk!
**[07:19] ---**
Talk! Talk! Talk!
**[07:27] ---**
Everything is okay now, Rika.
**[07:33] ---**
That pain is no more than a memory.
**[07:35] ---**
You should not be able to feel it now.
**[07:40] ---**
Ooishi killed me!
**[07:45] ---**
Huh? I remember who killed me.
**[07:50] ---**
What's going on?
**[07:55] ---**
What foolishness.
**[08:00] ---**
If only you'd stayed with the cat until
the end. You might have helped her.
**[08:06] ---**
If she remembers who killed her,
**[08:08] ---**
then won't that make
our methods even more effective?
**[08:14] ---**
A hundred years! A century I was trapped
in Hinamizawa, like a bird in a cage!
**[08:18] ---**
I witnessed tragedy after tragedy
without knowing the reason *why*!
**[08:21] ---**
If it wasn't for my friends and their
miracle, my soul would be long dead!
**[08:26] ---**
To my mind, time has long passed 1983!
**[08:29] ---**
I'm not this little girl anymore!
**[08:33] ---**
I got away from the village and achieved
my dream of starting a new life!
**[08:38] ---**
And after all that, I got dragged
right back to Hinamizawa!
**[08:42] ---**
Do you know what that means?!
**[08:46] ---**
That means that if I can use
this new power to escape again,
**[08:50] ---**
one day, out of nowhere,
I might be whisked away to 1983 again!
**[08:54] ---**
Do you know how horrifying that is?!
**[08:57] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[08:59] ---**
If you disappear,
then I'll really, truly be alone!
**[09:12] ---**
Rika, I didn't want to have
to tell you about this...
**[09:16] ---**
But now, it shall be my parting words.
**[09:20] ---**
Huh?
**[09:21] ---**
Of the many artifacts bearing my name,
**[09:24] ---**
the most important, most holy
of them is a sacred sword,
**[09:29] ---**
Onigari-no-ryuou.
**[09:32] ---**
It has the ability to kill those for whom
death is no end, but beginning:
**[09:36] ---**
it can kill one who lives in loops.
**[09:39] ---**
A sword that can kill
one who lives in loops?
**[09:42] ---**
But you are no longer a fledgling.
**[09:45] ---**
Wait!
**[09:47] ---**
Goodbye, Rika.
**[09:49] ---**
Your life and future must be
shaped by your own hands.
**[09:54] ---**
Wait! Don't go, Hanyuu!
**[09:57] ---**
Hanyuu!
**[10:03] ---**
I hope you'll have a cream puff
for me every now and then.
**[10:06] ---**
No!
**[10:07] ---**
I only made it through those hundred years
because you were there with me!
**[10:12] ---**
If you leave me, if you're gone--!
**[10:19] ---**
I can't do this! Not without you!
**[10:25] ---**
I want to play hide-and-seek.
**[10:27] ---**
Hide-and-seek? Huh, that's random.
**[10:29] ---**
I like hide-and-seek!
**[10:31] ---**
Where are we allowed to hide?
Anywhere on school grounds?
**[10:35] ---**
That's too small!
We'll be found too quickly!
**[10:38] ---**
Anywhere in Hinamizawa is okay.
**[10:41] ---**
Anywhere in the village?
That's a big area.
**[10:46] ---**
I'll use my crafty trapmaking skills to
ensnare and deter anyone looking for me!
**[10:50] ---**
Satoko, the only person
hiding is going to be me.
**[10:55] ---**
Just you?
**[10:57] ---**
Rika! You must be around here, I know it!
**[11:01] ---**
Just give yourself up already, now!
**[11:25] ---**
Now that I recall, I came here while
playing hide-and-seek once before.
**[11:30] ---**
I hid inside the ritual tool shed, and
when Rika was blamed for my mistake,
**[11:36] ---**
she was punished.
**[11:38] ---**
It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
**[11:41] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[11:44] ---**
How long ago was that?
How many centuries ago?
**[11:48] ---**
I can't remember anymore.
**[12:29] ---**
I'd better keep this dangerous
weapon far away from Rika.
**[12:45] ---**
Silly Hanyuu. It's not here.
**[12:49] ---**
There's no sword!
**[12:52] ---**
You left me this parting gift
I didn't even want,
**[12:54] ---**
and it's not even here!
**[13:14] ---**
Mion! Your hunch says
she's gonna be at the shrine?
**[13:18] ---**
It's Rika-*chan*'s home, so she must
know lots of places to hide there.
**[13:24] ---**
It's my home, too,
and I've looked all over for her.
**[13:28] ---**
If Rika-*chan* were really trying
to keep us from finding her,
**[13:31] ---**
then she'd be here.
**[13:46] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[13:47] ---**
Rika! Come out if you're in there!
**[13:51] ---**
Rika-*chan*! Please come out!
**[13:54] ---**
We might've lost today,
but we won't let you win tomorrow!
**[14:02] ---**
I can die whenever I want now.
**[14:05] ---**
Rika, you know no matter where
you hide, I'll always find you!
**[14:13] ---**
Five more loops.
**[14:15] ---**
I'll try for five more loops,
**[14:17] ---**
and if I don't succeed...
**[14:19] ---**
...I'll give up.
**[14:23] ---**
After all, I certainly can't
let you get away from me.
**[14:27] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th"
**[14:33] ---**
Akasaka-*san*, if I'm correct?
**[14:36] ---**
Yes, that's me, Mamoru Akasaka.
**[14:40] ---**
Wait, were you at that
toy store in Okinomiya?
**[14:42] ---**
Yes, I'm Satoko Hojo.
**[14:44] ---**
You seem to be well-acquainted with Rika,
though I'm not sure of the reason.
**[14:49] ---**
Well, I owe her my life.
**[14:52] ---**
So whatever she needs, I'm there for her.
**[14:57] ---**
In that case, I need to tell you
the real reason why Rika is suffering.
**[15:04] ---**
The *real* reason?
**[15:05] ---**
Most people wouldn't
believe me if they tried.
**[15:09] ---**
You see...
**[15:11] ---**
She's infected with parasites
that have taken control of her.
**[15:16] ---**
I'm sure I can do something to help.
**[15:22] ---**
You don't need to
worry anymore, Rika-*chan*!
**[15:25] ---**
Now all the parasites
inside of you are gone!
**[15:29] ---**
I *saved* you, Rika-*chan*!
**[15:33] ---**
Right.
**[15:35] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[15:38] ---**
I know how to kill you, you damn bugs!
**[15:45] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
**[15:47] ---**
You filthy parasites!
I'll burn you all to a fucking crisp!
**[15:57] ---**
Rika! Rika!
**[15:59] ---**
Shout if you're all right!
**[16:02] ---**
Rika!
**[16:04] ---**
Rika-*chan*!
**[16:06] ---**
No!
**[16:07] ---**
Call the fire department! Hurry!
**[16:10] ---**
C'mon, now!
**[16:11] ---**
Rika, I do hope you
realize sooner than later...
**[16:15] ---**
...that this is the curse.
**[16:21] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse.
**[16:35] ---**
This is the worst... My neck is so itchy!
**[16:39] ---**
Itchy, itchy, itchy...
**[16:45] ---**
It must be unbearably itchy for you, too.
**[16:51] ---**
It is.
**[16:53] ---**
Though thanks to you, I can't
move my arms to scratch my neck.
**[16:57] ---**
I'm truly sorry you had to
be born into the Furude family.
**[17:04] ---**
If fate was mine to choose, I would have
never wanted to be born in Hinamizawa!
**[17:10] ---**
I agree.
**[17:11] ---**
We fell victim to Hinamizawa's
curse the moment we were born.
**[17:17] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it?
**[17:18] ---**
It's so painful and itchy, isn't it?
**[17:21] ---**
It's okay.
**[17:23] ---**
I'll make you feel all better!
**[17:26] ---**
Yes, please do.
**[17:28] ---**
Put an end to this so I can
move on to the next world.
**[17:32] ---**
I'll be right behind you,
**[17:36] ---**
just as soon as I destroy
your Hinamizawa blood!
**[17:43] ---**
Who's there?
**[17:47] ---**
Is that you, Satoko-*chan*?
**[17:50] ---**
How odd. You look just like Satoko-*chan*,
but you surely aren't her.
**[17:57] ---**
Have you taken care of my dear Rika?
**[18:00] ---**
Whyever do you ask?
**[18:03] ---**
It's extremely important that I know.
**[18:07] ---**
Oh.
**[18:10] ---**
Seems I needn't worry after all.
**[18:21] ---**
I see. There *was* a demon in our midst.
**[18:29] ---**
I'm not a *demon*.
**[18:38] ---**
You know good and well that
when Oyashiro-*sama* gets mad,
**[18:41] ---**
the good women of the Furude family must
be sacrificed to quell his wrath, yes?
**[18:47] ---**
...shut up.
**[18:50] ---**
You must be happy to be followin' in
your ancestors' footsteps, miss Rika.
**[18:56] ---**
Just shut up.
**[18:58] ---**
How can they still not get it?!
**[19:02] ---**
Oryo-*san*'s completely useless!
**[19:04] ---**
Same with Mion-*chan*!
**[19:06] ---**
No one understands their
responsibility to this village!
**[19:09] ---**
Damn whippersnappers...
**[19:12] ---**
Kimiyoshi, could you finish your monologue
*after* tossing me in the swamp?
**[19:17] ---**
My, my, you sure understand the roles
and responsibilities our families play!
**[19:22] ---**
No, your breath just stinks.
**[19:25] ---**
How dare you talk back to your elders?!
**[19:27] ---**
You rude little wretch!
**[19:48] ---**
Oyashiro-*sama*, Oyashiro-*sama*!
Please, be angry no more!
**[19:52] ---**
Let this have quelled your rage!
Please, forgive us!
**[19:56] ---**
If she can hold her breath this long,
**[19:59] ---**
then she'll have doubled the world record.
**[20:12] ---**
Now things are *really* getting fun, Rena!
**[20:15] ---**
How can you say that, Keiichi-*kun*?!
This isn't fun at all!
**[20:21] ---**
Well, *I've* been having a ton of fun!
**[20:24] ---**
But I bet it'll be even *more* fun
when I split your head open!
**[20:33] ---**
It doesn't stop.
**[20:38] ---**
Boy, fun like this
reminds me of club, doesn't it?!
**[20:41] ---**
You're right, but look!
**[20:44] ---**
Nobody wants to live in this world!
**[20:49] ---**
This is all just a bad dream!
**[20:52] ---**
So please, wake up, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[20:59] ---**
It won't give me a place
or time to catch my breath.
**[21:12] ---**
Truly, there are no better
storytellers than the lot of you.
**[21:17] ---**
I am quite satisfied, child of man.
**[21:20] ---**
The story you are weaving
will surely cure me of my boredom!
**[21:37] ---**
What's this?
**[21:57] ---**
If it isn't my darling failure.
**[22:03] ---**
At long last, I've found you!

**[00:09] ---**
At long last, I've found you!
**[00:11] ---**
I must say, I did not think
**[00:13] ---**
you would be able to find
my wavelength in the sea of fragments.
**[00:20] ---**
Learning that Vier had lost
her memories truly spoiled my fun.
**[00:32] ---**
What are you doing?
**[00:34] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
We both have pieces on the board.
**[00:39] ---**
Let us joyfully watch them
destroy one another.
**[00:55] ---**
Rika!
**[01:01] ---**
What a delectable reaction.
**[01:03] ---**
A game needs its players, after all.
**[02:36] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[02:51] ---**
Why?
**[02:53] ---**
Why am I the only one
who has to go through all this?
**[03:01] ---**
What grave sin did I commit...
**[03:05] ---**
...to be punished to an eternity of *this*?
**[03:09] ---**
Okay, Rika-*chan*. You have to tell me now.
**[03:14] ---**
Where's the secret cure
that gets rid of these parasites?!
**[03:17] ---**
How do I purge these maggots
crawling around in my throat?!
**[03:28] ---**
Sure, I'll tell you.
The cure's right here.
**[03:32] ---**
In where?! Where is it?! Give it to me!
**[03:36] ---**
My throat's filling up with maggots!
**[03:39] ---**
It's so itchy, so freakin' itchy!
**[03:46] ---**
Right in here.
**[03:49] ---**
Inside my head.
**[03:52] ---**
Split open my skull and
eat my brains, and you'll be cured.
**[04:00] ---**
It's in there?!
**[04:01] ---**
So *that's* where it was!
**[04:06] ---**
Rika!
**[04:18] ---**
You see that, you damn bugs?!
I just gotta take the cure...
**[04:23] ---**
It's so freakin' itchy!
**[04:26] ---**
This'll work... wait.
**[04:33] ---**
This is better.
**[04:47] ---**
Grab him! Grab him!
**[04:48] ---**
Get outta my way!
**[04:52] ---**
I just want to get rid of these bugs!
**[04:59] ---**
They just keep coming!
**[05:06] ---**
What is going on in this world?!
**[05:10] ---**
What have you done?!
**[05:14] ---**
Are you not entertained?
**[05:16] ---**
Fear not, the real fun is about to begin.
**[05:19] ---**
Huh?
**[05:24] ---**
Let go of me!
**[05:28] ---**
S-Satoko...?
**[05:35] ---**
--Oh, dear.
--You bastards, let me go--
**[05:39] ---**
Not again! They're crawling out again!
**[05:42] ---**
Stop resisting! You're done!
**[05:44] ---**
It's gotten quite lively in here.
**[05:53] ---**
Poor Rika, all alone.
**[05:55] ---**
There's no one to support
your fragile heart anymore.
**[05:59] ---**
In every world, in every fragment,
**[06:03] ---**
I'm your only ally.
**[06:06] ---**
No!
**[06:09] ---**
Just give up already, Rika.
**[06:12] ---**
The key to your happiness lies with me.
**[06:18] ---**
I'll make sure you come
to that understanding!
**[06:27] ---**
What have you done?
**[06:31] ---**
You granted power to Satoko?!
**[06:33] ---**
Just as you did to Rika, yes?
**[06:36] ---**
Yes, but that was a mistake.
**[06:39] ---**
And what you've done is a mistake, too!
**[06:43] ---**
You would dare suggest
I have acted in error?
**[06:48] ---**
Choose your words carefully,
my dear failure.
**[06:52] ---**
I may be a failure,
but I still have *some* power!
**[07:05] ---**
Long ago, you diverted one of
Takano's bullets to protect your friends.
**[07:12] ---**
Did you believe an opportunity to
protect them would randomly occur again?
**[07:17] ---**
That power wasn't random chance!
You couldn't understand it!
**[07:24] ---**
Such insolence.
**[07:29] ---**
Though it pains me to admit,
you *are* a part of me.
**[07:32] ---**
I will allow you to enjoy the spectacle
from your front-row seat.
**[07:51] ---**
Hey. You're finally awake.
**[07:54] ---**
It's almost sundown.
**[07:57] ---**
Satoko? I...
**[08:00] ---**
You were tossing and turning so much.
**[08:03] ---**
You must have had a terrible nightmare.
**[08:08] ---**
My, you have quite the fever!
**[08:11] ---**
I'll stay here by your side until
you feel better, if that's all right.
**[08:17] ---**
Satoko...
**[08:24] ---**
Poor, poor Rika.
**[08:26] ---**
Why? Why is this happening to me?!
**[08:34] ---**
I don't know what
you were dreaming about...
**[08:39] ---**
...but surely you know
your dreams are important.
**[08:44] ---**
Huh?
**[08:45] ---**
Your dreams are the way
they are for a reason.
**[08:48] ---**
A very important reason, Rika.
**[08:51] ---**
A reason? What kind of reasoning...
**[08:55] ---**
...justifies being tortured
by these horrible, tragic realities?!
**[09:03] ---**
You don't know why you suffer through
terrible dreams, night after night?
**[09:09] ---**
S-Satoko, what are you--
**[09:14] ---**
M-My body... everything hurts!
**[09:17] ---**
These horrible dreams are torturing you,
**[09:21] ---**
and you still don't know the reason
why they are doing so?
**[09:27] ---**
What's going on...?
**[09:29] ---**
Rika, you've been cursed.
**[09:32] ---**
C-Cursed? What do... you mean...?
**[09:39] ---**
Why?!
**[09:40] ---**
I can't... move! What's... happening?!
**[09:45] ---**
Oh, you mean this?
**[09:49] ---**
Huh?
**[09:57] ---**
It's time, Rika...
**[10:01] ---**
...for the *watanagashi* ritual.
**[10:03] ---**
Stop! Don't go any further! Satoko!
**[10:07] ---**
You're Oyashiro-*sama*, are you not?
**[10:09] ---**
Your newest priest is simply going
to perform the offertory dance.
**[10:14] ---**
Wouldn't you agree it's your duty
to observe it to its completion?
**[10:19] ---**
You must come to terms
with the truth, Rika.
**[10:22] ---**
This nightmare was not
foisted upon you on a whim.
**[10:26] ---**
Satoko, please!
**[10:28] ---**
You have sinned, Rika,
**[10:30] ---**
and this is your eternal punishment!
**[10:34] ---**
Stop! Make it stop!
**[10:37] ---**
Are you making demands of me?
**[10:40] ---**
Know your place.
You will *not* avert your eyes.
**[11:03] ---**
Should I let you move your mouth?
**[11:07] ---**
Rika!
**[11:08] ---**
Rika, Rika, Rika!
**[11:11] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[11:21] ---**
Please, stop! Make it stop!
**[11:23] ---**
If this doesn't stop,
Rika's mind will break!
**[11:28] ---**
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
**[11:30] ---**
Please, I'm begging you!
**[11:33] ---**
Don't make Satoko do this!
**[11:41] ---**
Satoko is Rika's best friend!
**[11:44] ---**
She's always stood by her side
and supported her, no matter what!
**[11:49] ---**
So please, you can't...
**[11:53] ---**
You are so very entertaining!
**[11:55] ---**
Don't make Rika's best friend
hurt her anymore!
**[12:01] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[12:04] ---**
I was wrong...
**[12:10] ---**
Rika?!
**[12:12] ---**
If you'd go this far, Satoko...
**[12:17] ---**
I finally realize.
**[12:20] ---**
All I want is to live here
in Hinamizawa with you, Rika.
**[12:24] ---**
I don't need anything else.
**[12:30] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry.
**[12:32] ---**
It's all right!
**[12:34] ---**
I'm sure your words of repentance will
grant you Oyashiro-*sama*'s forgiveness!
**[12:45] ---**
I won't make that mistake again...
**[12:58] ---**
Please burn those words into your mind,
**[13:02] ---**
until you're *certain*
you won't forget them!
**[13:10] ---**
Rika...
**[13:24] ---**
We had so much fun today!
**[13:26] ---**
Too much fun. I really tired myself out.
**[13:29] ---**
You said you needed to talk to
me earlier, yes?
**[13:35] ---**
I'm sure you won't have any idea
what I'm talking about...
**[13:38] ---**
...but please, just hear me out
until the end.
**[13:50] ---**
Rika, no...
**[13:54] ---**
I had two very, very long dreams.
**[13:59] ---**
One was a dream that was very painful
for me when I was dreaming it.
**[14:03] ---**
But looking back on it now, I know
it was full of shiny, sparkling wonders.
**[14:08] ---**
In the other dream, I never noticed
those shining wonders,
**[14:12] ---**
and I was punished for clinging to
an ungrateful dream.
**[14:16] ---**
This nightmare lasted a long, long time.
**[14:19] ---**
Please, you have to
realize what's happening!
**[14:24] ---**
Why did I ever dream of anything else?
**[14:30] ---**
Rika...
**[14:37] ---**
I don't know what kind of dreams
you've been having,
**[14:41] ---**
but no matter what happens,
I'll always be your friend.
**[14:45] ---**
That goes for Hinamizawa
and everyone else, too.
**[14:48] ---**
We'll love you forever and ever, Rika.
**[14:51] ---**
Rika... that world isn't right!
**[15:00] ---**
I'm sure you won't have any more
nightmares from now on.
**[15:06] ---**
Satoko!
**[15:11] ---**
That's not the world you chose,
the world where you won your own future!
**[15:20] ---**
You have to see that, Rika!
**[15:23] ---**
'Tis futile.
**[15:24] ---**
However would the cat discover that
Satoko is the cause of her suffering?
**[15:30] ---**
What reason does she have?
**[15:38] ---**
"Tuesday, June 14th"
**[15:39] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th"
**[15:42] ---**
Wait, you seriously yelled at him?
**[15:44] ---**
I sure did! He keeps coming home
drunk every night!
**[15:50] ---**
Knowing you, Rena, you must've
given him a real stern talking-to.
**[15:54] ---**
But, like, how can you yell at your *dad*?
**[15:57] ---**
Goodness me, Keiichi-*san*.
**[15:59] ---**
Forgive me my impropriety,
**[16:01] ---**
but some familial problems
actually *demand* harsh responses!
**[16:05] ---**
I talked to his friend,
Rina-*san*, too, and she agreed to help.
**[16:10] ---**
Wow. You really put in the work.
**[16:12] ---**
Thanks!
**[16:15] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th"
**[16:28] ---**
"Monday, June 20th"
**[16:33] ---**
"Wednesday, June 22nd"
**[16:43] ---**
Perhaps you just haven't realized
the true nature of happiness, Rika.
**[16:48] ---**
Huh?
**[16:49] ---**
Painful moments, no matter how small,
stay in our hearts forever.
**[16:54] ---**
But tiny moments of happiness
are quickly forgotten.
**[16:59] ---**
Forget them, and you forget
how truly blessed you are,
**[17:03] ---**
and you instead yearn for a happiness
far greater than you can bear.
**[17:08] ---**
I cannot think of a more
unfortunate turn of events.
**[17:13] ---**
You're happy now, yes, Rika?
What more could you possibly want?
**[17:22] ---**
Please, don't ever leave us, Rika.
**[17:27] ---**
I'll stay here forever.
**[17:32] ---**
With my best friend, Satoko.
**[17:44] ---**
Why am I...
**[18:13] ---**
"Wednesday, June 22nd"
**[18:14] ---**
"Thursday, June 23rd"
**[18:17] ---**
Isn't tomorrow...
**[18:19] ---**
"Da Vinci"
**[18:29] ---**
Rika! We should head home!
**[18:34] ---**
Okay, wait just one minute!
**[18:38] ---**
"Friday, June 24th"
**[18:40] ---**
Here it comes!
**[18:46] ---**
Got it.
**[18:48] ---**
Take this!
**[19:00] ---**
Satoko-*chan*! Stay back!
**[19:13] ---**
Those memories again... but why?
**[19:24] ---**
Huh?
**[19:26] ---**
Happy birthday, Satoko!
**[19:30] ---**
Happy birthday, Satoko!
**[19:31] ---**
Satoko-*chan*, happy birthday!
**[19:34] ---**
Yeah! Here's to many more.
**[19:37] ---**
Ah...
**[19:39] ---**
Rika-*chan* put all of this
together for you!
**[19:43] ---**
Here, look!
**[19:47] ---**
"Get Satoko a great present
for her birthday"
**[19:49] ---**
Huh?
**[19:53] ---**
I'm very thankful
for all of this, truly, but...
**[19:58] ---**
I know this day is really
hard for you, Satoko.
**[20:04] ---**
Nii-Nii...
**[20:05] ---**
Still, I wanted everyone
to celebrate with you.
**[20:10] ---**
Forgive me, I should not have acted
so presumptuously before.
**[20:16] ---**
A birthday spent
celebrated with friends...
**[20:20] ---**
Why wouldn't I be happy?
**[20:24] ---**
Okay, here's a present from me!
**[20:27] ---**
"Everything you could ever know
about veggies!!"
"Vegetable Encyclopedia"
**[20:28] ---**
Okay, this one's from me!
**[20:30] ---**
It's soooo kyute!
**[20:33] ---**
Mion-*san*, thank you so very much.
**[20:36] ---**
I have another present here for you, too.
**[20:40] ---**
Goodness, another present?
**[20:43] ---**
This was the most I could afford,
but I hope you like it.
**[20:47] ---**
My, whatever could it be?
**[20:56] ---**
Huh?
**[20:57] ---**
Satoko-*chan*?
**[21:04] ---**
How did you know?
**[21:10] ---**
Please! A trap master like me
can spot a trap a mile away!
**[21:30] ---**
Up until last night, it *was* a trap,
just as you thought.
**[21:34] ---**
But not anymore.
**[21:40] ---**
Rika? Are you quite dead?
**[21:44] ---**
I'll ask again.
**[21:47] ---**
How did you know?
**[21:49] ---**
There *is* a power that will
lead her to the truth...
**[21:55] ---**
A miracle.

"Higurashi: When They Cry - GOU"
**[03:40] ---**
Oh dear, Rika.
**[03:43] ---**
Did you have yet another nightmare?
**[03:48] ---**
What's wrong?
**[03:50] ---**
A nightmare?! Those weren't nightmares!
**[03:53] ---**
They were all real!
**[03:59] ---**
And *you* were--
**[04:18] ---**
I was *what*?
**[04:21] ---**
Are you implying
that I am to blame for this?!
**[04:25] ---**
It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
**[04:39] ---**
It was *your fault*,...
**[04:42] ---**
...Rika!
**[04:43] ---**
You're to blame!
**[05:22] ---**
Why...? Why?!
**[05:28] ---**
You want to know *why*, Rika?!
**[05:34] ---**
It's all because you *dreamed*
of going to St. Lucia!
**[05:38] ---**
This is all...
**[05:41] ---**
...your fault!
**[05:43] ---**
It's all because of that stupid dream!
**[05:51] ---**
Rika!
**[05:57] ---**
So you hate this place
because it's a "hick town"?
**[06:01] ---**
You want to experience high society?
**[06:06] ---**
Why don't you like Hinamizawa?!
What is it you hate?!
**[06:10] ---**
Keiichi-*san* is here!
**[06:12] ---**
Rena-*san* is here!
**[06:15] ---**
Mion-*san* and Shion-*san* are here,
**[06:18] ---**
and I'm here, too!
**[06:20] ---**
You didn't want for anything!
You were happy here!
**[06:24] ---**
Right, Rika?!
**[06:30] ---**
But still, you wanted to
"work hard" to chase that dream?
**[06:33] ---**
What's so good about St. Lucia?!
**[06:36] ---**
Satoko...
**[06:37] ---**
They'd know you're from the boonies!
It's so stupid and boring!
**[06:42] ---**
Why do you like it so much, then?!
**[06:46] ---**
You said you hated studying, but you'd
work hard to make your dream come true!
**[06:49] ---**
You said you wanted to get in with me!
**[06:52] ---**
You said you'd still stick with me!
You'd never leave me by myself!
**[07:10] ---**
You're a liar, Rika!
**[07:13] ---**
You're a filthy liar!
**[07:18] ---**
*I'm* the liar?
**[07:20] ---**
Th-The hell's goin' on?!
**[07:23] ---**
Hojo! This is blasphemy!
**[07:25] ---**
Satoko-*chan*?!
**[07:27] ---**
Wait, what's going on?!
**[07:28] ---**
This isn't part of the dance, right?
**[07:31] ---**
Of course not!
**[07:33] ---**
What makes me a liar?!
**[07:35] ---**
None of what you're saying makes sense!
**[07:52] ---**
It just went up in flames!
**[07:54] ---**
--What should we do?!
--What is happening?!
**[07:59] ---**
--Water! Get water!
--Someone get a hose!
**[08:05] ---**
Mion!
**[08:09] ---**
Get out of there, guys!
**[08:14] ---**
What's so wrong about wanting
to experience something new?!
**[08:18] ---**
Why do you hate that so much?!
**[08:20] ---**
You don't want to go
because you hate studying?
**[08:23] ---**
Rika-*chan*?!
**[08:25] ---**
If you worked a little harder,
it wouldn't be a problem!
**[08:33] ---**
Oh my God, did Rika-*sama* just...
**[08:35] ---**
You tried to ride a unicycle and get
on stilts, but you could never do it!
**[08:42] ---**
That's right. So what?
**[08:45] ---**
It's the same as that!
**[08:48] ---**
No matter how hard I study,
I'll never do well!
**[08:52] ---**
Someone, get a teacher!
**[08:54] ---**
Because I *hate* studying!
**[08:57] ---**
I hate it! I hate it!
I hate it! I hate it!
**[09:00] ---**
I hate it! I hate it! I hate it *so much*!
**[09:03] ---**
Then I'll *make* you stay up
later to study harder!
**[09:11] ---**
Because going to St. Lucia with you...
**[09:17] ---**
...has *always* been my dream!
**[09:26] ---**
Yes, I know.
**[09:30] ---**
That's why I went along with it!
**[09:37] ---**
But you abandoned me.
**[09:41] ---**
When we got to St. Lucia,
you left me all alone!
**[09:46] ---**
You promised! You *swore* you wouldn't!
**[10:03] ---**
I must've reached out to you *dozens*
of times while we were there!
**[10:10] ---**
Yes, you did at first!
**[10:20] ---**
But then you were far more
interested in the *other* girls!
**[10:23] ---**
I bet it's because you "didn't like them"
and turned down our invitations!
**[10:29] ---**
I gave you space to spend time
with other people!
**[10:33] ---**
And did I *ask* you to do that?!
**[10:36] ---**
Stop blaming me for all this!
**[10:43] ---**
So because I didn't help you study...
**[10:47] ---**
...you failed out of the "good" class,
and it's all my fault?
**[10:51] ---**
Yes, obviously!
**[10:55] ---**
Because I never fit in there! I only
went there to make your dream come true!
**[11:03] ---**
You should know how to study on your own
**[11:06] ---**
by the time you're in high school.
**[11:10] ---**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[11:16] ---**
I *hate* studying!
**[11:18] ---**
Who cares?!
**[11:19] ---**
I just wanted...
**[11:32] ---**
--...to be with you!
--...to be with you!
**[11:46] ---**
Here in Hinamizawa!
**[11:47] ---**
At St. Lucia!
**[11:50] ---**
That was all I ever wanted!
**[12:05] ---**
Now *this* is the utmost form of
entertainment, sure to dispel my ennui!
**[12:26] ---**
I would advise that you stop.
**[12:49] ---**
Whatever were you going to do
after releasing yourself from your bonds?
**[12:55] ---**
How could a worthless failure
defeat that from whence she came?
**[13:01] ---**
I may possess much that you do not,
**[13:04] ---**
but you do not possess
anything that I lack.
**[13:10] ---**
As such, your defeat
at my hand is *certain*.
**[13:14] ---**
Not true.
**[13:16] ---**
There is one method of achieving victory
in the face of certain defeat.
**[13:20] ---**
Oh? What's that?
**[13:22] ---**
A miracle!
**[13:24] ---**
As long as the "certain"
can be destroyed by a miracle,
**[13:27] ---**
then that which is "certain"
cannot remain "certain" indefinitely!
**[13:32] ---**
Show me this "miracle" of yours, then.
**[13:36] ---**
If you can, then I shall do as you wish.
**[13:42] ---**
Rika!
**[13:43] ---**
Please, grant *me* a miracle!
**[13:51] ---**
Stop being so stubborn!
**[13:54] ---**
Do you know how much trouble
your stubbornness has caused me?!
**[13:58] ---**
What's with this tone
you're taking with me?
**[14:02] ---**
What happened to your ridiculous
over-the-top mannerisms?!
**[14:05] ---**
My, don't be a hypocrite.
**[14:07] ---**
What happened to
that sweet façade of yours?
**[14:11] ---**
I'm sorry to say,
but this is my true self.
**[14:16] ---**
You're a looper.
You understand, don't you?
**[14:20] ---**
I do indeed.
**[14:22] ---**
I still can't believe
you have the same power.
**[14:28] ---**
It's wonderful.
**[14:35] ---**
I *love* this power!
**[14:37] ---**
You're just as stubborn as I am!
**[14:44] ---**
I suppose that's true!
**[14:45] ---**
That's why I'll never, ever,
**[14:48] ---**
let you go...
**[14:52] ---**
...not in a million years!
**[15:04] ---**
If you *are* someone who lives in loops...
**[15:12] ---**
...then I know what can kill you!
**[15:27] ---**
What are you doing?
**[15:31] ---**
Wha--?!
**[15:34] ---**
Is that--
**[15:37] ---**
Onigari-no-Ryuuou. It has the power
to kill one living in loops.
**[15:45] ---**
I should have been more careful.
**[15:48] ---**
This was Hanyuu's last gift...
**[15:53] ---**
One I never even wanted!
**[16:25] ---**
I don't need that little piece.
**[16:30] ---**
So you were the one who took it.
**[16:32] ---**
Come now, Rika.
**[16:39] ---**
From this moment forward...
**[16:48] ---**
...our *real* battle begins!
**[17:06] ---**
You're not bad, Rika!
**[17:11] ---**
This reminds me of that time in club
when a boatload of basins fell atop you!
**[17:17] ---**
If you hadn't set a trap for me,
then I would have won!
**[17:37] ---**
No traps today, sadly!
**[17:40] ---**
Despite that...
**[17:45] ---**
...I will still defeat you!
**[17:51] ---**
Club rule ♪2!
**[17:56] ---**
Always strive for victory
with everything you've got!
**[17:59] ---**
Rika! Quit being such a sore loser, now!
**[18:03] ---**
Do you *really* think you can beat me?
**[18:06] ---**
No matter how deep I might
sink into the depths of despair,
**[18:09] ---**
or how many dead ends I run into...
**[18:15] ---**
...I know that fate *can* be changed!
**[18:38] ---**
Onigari-no-Ryuuou is whole!
**[19:25] ---**
Are you witnessing this,
o lesser part of me?
**[19:28] ---**
They trifle with a concept no looping
life should: everlasting death!
**[19:34] ---**
And they wish to exact it
upon one another!
**[19:38] ---**
Yet neither truly wants to kill the other,
and neither wants to be killed!
**[19:41] ---**
Why would they?!
**[19:43] ---**
Because they want the other to be
with them in their desired world!
**[19:49] ---**
What irony! Such foolishness makes
for such wonderous spectacle!
**[19:59] ---**
How very entertaining!
**[20:07] ---**
Just give up already!
**[20:10] ---**
That's not happening!
**[20:12] ---**
How stubborn you are, Rika. In that case,
why don't we *both* die?
**[20:18] ---**
Right here, right now!
**[20:20] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[20:22] ---**
If that's what you want,
then let's kill everyone else, too!
**[20:27] ---**
Let's wipe out everyone else
with a Big Bang
**[20:30] ---**
and start the universe over again!
I'd rather have *that*!
**[20:45] ---**
Satoko!
**[20:56] ---**
Do it.
**[20:58] ---**
Erase me from your world.
**[21:03] ---**
You'll make much fancier friends
at St. Lucia Academy.
**[21:15] ---**
That doesn't sound bad.
**[21:18] ---**
Is she going to kill Satoko?
**[21:20] ---**
No, she couldn't kill her!
**[21:23] ---**
Whatever will she do?
**[21:25] ---**
Perhaps she'll even take her own life!
**[21:42] ---**
Is your miracle quite ready yet?
**[21:51] ---**
If it is, then use it, quickly.
**[21:55] ---**
If not, then disappear.
**[22:05] ---**
Without a trace, if you please.
**[23:40] ---**

**[00:14] ---**
I was once just like you.
**[00:16] ---**
Whatever do you mean?
**[00:18] ---**
Long ago, I never believed in miracles.
**[00:22] ---**
No matter how many
worlds we lived through,
**[00:24] ---**
or how many blessings came upon us,
**[00:27] ---**
I realized there was nothing
we could do to change our prescribed fate.
**[00:34] ---**
I expected nothing from the world!
**[00:37] ---**
Because expectations
lead to disappointment!
**[00:39] ---**
I never believed in miracles,
because they would never happen!
**[00:44] ---**
But still, I learned!
**[00:46] ---**
From Keiichi, from Rena, from Mion,
from Shion, and from Satoko, too!
**[00:52] ---**
Miracles don't happen on their own--
you have to *make* them happen!
**[01:13] ---**
I tire of this.
**[01:18] ---**
I tire of this charade.
**[01:34] ---**
You are so terribly boring.
**[02:02] ---**
Do it.
**[02:06] ---**
Erase me from your world.
**[02:10] ---**
You'll make much fancier friends
at St. Lucia Academy.
**[02:18] ---**
That doesn't sound bad.
**[02:22] ---**
But you'll realize something
after you kill me.
**[02:27] ---**
You'll know you were
happiest here in Hinamizawa.
**[02:32] ---**
That I was the one who cared
about you more than anyone!
**[02:40] ---**
I already know that! You think I didn't?!
**[02:47] ---**
I *know* you care about me more than anyone!
**[02:52] ---**
I care about *you* more than anyone!
**[02:57] ---**
It's been that way for *years*!
**[03:00] ---**
How the hell would I not know that?!
**[03:05] ---**
You want me to erase you from my world?
**[03:10] ---**
I'll never do that! I never *could*!
**[03:14] ---**
So I'll punch you instead!
As hard as I can!
**[03:17] ---**
Until your face swells up!
**[03:20] ---**
I'll beat those math drills
into your head...
**[03:23] ---**
...until you can solve every last problem!
**[03:29] ---**
No, no, no, no, no!
**[03:31] ---**
I don't want to!
**[03:33] ---**
I don't want to study!
**[03:34] ---**
I hate it, I hate it, I *hate it*!
**[03:36] ---**
I don't even want to
*think* about it, or *look* at it!
**[03:39] ---**
I just want to play and have fun!
**[03:44] ---**
I just want to be with you, Rika!
**[03:50] ---**
You little brat! Stop being
so goddamn selfish already!
**[03:55] ---**
What?! Says you! Stop forcing me
to go along with *your* dream!
**[04:00] ---**
You're so stupid, Satoko!
**[04:02] ---**
You don't know anything, Rika!
**[04:57] ---**
Hmm? What are you doing?
**[05:00] ---**
A miracle will never side with you.
**[05:03] ---**
I asked what you are doing.
**[05:11] ---**
If we fall into the pit of despair
a hundred times,
**[05:14] ---**
then we climb up two hundred times.
**[05:16] ---**
If we're pulled into the whirlpool
of tragedy a thousand times,
**[05:19] ---**
then we fight back two thousand times!
**[05:26] ---**
Because a miracle
will *always* side with us!
**[05:41] ---**
Rika and I are going to destroy our fate!
**[05:46] ---**
We're going to make our miracle happen!
**[05:55] ---**
Do you know how many endless days
have brought us to this moment?!
**[06:14] ---**
Rika and I...
**[06:18] ---**
...and Keiichi, and Rena...
**[06:22] ---**
...and Mion, and Shion...
**[06:26] ---**
...and *everyone* in Hinamizawa...
**[06:29] ---**
...even Satoko...
**[06:32] ---**
...are stronger than you think!
**[06:41] ---**
How very interesting, my darling failure!
**[06:44] ---**
You deserve a reward
for such fine performance!
**[06:59] ---**
Strike true, Onigari-no-Ryuuou!
**[07:02] ---**
Devour her sins, one and all!
**[07:24] ---**
Impudent worm!
**[07:27] ---**
You swore to me that
if I showed you a miracle,
**[07:30] ---**
you would leave this world,
**[07:33] ---**
forever!
**[07:36] ---**
Very well.
**[07:38] ---**
Failure as you are, you *did*
miraculously strike back at me...
**[08:03] ---**
You should follow *my* dream instead, Rika!
**[08:07] ---**
Live here in Hinamizawa with me forever!
**[08:10] ---**
No, I'm not giving up on my dream!
You're coming with me to St. Lucia!
**[08:15] ---**
Well, I'm not giving up on mine, either!
**[08:18] ---**
I'm living with you in Hinamizawa!
**[08:21] ---**
Satoko! I just want
to be with you forever!
**[08:24] ---**
Rika! I just want to be with you forever!
**[08:28] ---**
I want to go to St. Lucia with you!
**[08:32] ---**
I don't want to go!
I don't want to let you go!
**[08:36] ---**
Satoko!
**[08:39] ---**
Rika!
**[09:10] ---**
Hey, Satoko?
**[09:12] ---**
Yes?
**[09:14] ---**
I'm sorry for leaving you
all on your lonesome.
**[09:19] ---**
From here on out, I'll keep
my eyes on you. I'll help you study.
**[09:26] ---**
Thank you, Rika.
**[09:28] ---**
I've lost count of the years,
**[09:31] ---**
but it seems they were
worth it in the end.
**[09:38] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm too stupid.
**[09:43] ---**
No matter how hard you try to make me,
I'll never study that hard again.
**[09:49] ---**
I figured.
**[09:51] ---**
How many years did I
make you study for that exam?
**[09:55] ---**
I can't remember.
**[09:56] ---**
Think of the biggest number you can,
**[09:59] ---**
then multiply it by three.
That's how many.
**[10:03] ---**
It's easy for looping lives
to develop "allergies."
**[10:07] ---**
In the end, just looking at the problem
makes you break out in hives.
**[10:12] ---**
I thought if I kept studying,
**[10:14] ---**
then I'd get to stay
with you in the same class.
**[10:18] ---**
That was the whole reason
I worked so hard for so long.
**[10:23] ---**
If you gave it that much effort,
and still had terrible grades,
**[10:27] ---**
then maybe you really
*aren't* cut out for schoolwork.
**[10:31] ---**
It took you this long to realize that?
**[10:47] ---**
Hey, there they are!
**[10:50] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! We found them!
**[10:54] ---**
They're over here!
**[10:56] ---**
What the heck are they doing over here?
**[10:59] ---**
Whoa, Rika-*chan*?! And you too, Satoko!
What happened to your clothes?!
**[11:04] ---**
Whoa, your faces are all beat up!
**[11:07] ---**
Oh, yikes! I think we might have
bandages in the car!
**[11:12] ---**
I'm fine. Rika's weak punches barely hurt.
**[11:18] ---**
Though I'm pretty sure
they *did* make you cry.
**[11:22] ---**
My, you should see your own eyes, Rika.
They're so very red.
**[11:25] ---**
Okay, that's enough!
**[11:27] ---**
What the heck made you guys
break into a full-on fist fight?
**[11:47] ---**
I'm glad we came to get you guys.
**[11:50] ---**
So, what were you fighting about?
Let this old fart help.
**[11:57] ---**
C'mon, you can tell me!
Aren't we friends?!
**[12:01] ---**
Mii-*chan*, I'm sure
they've already talked it over.
**[12:06] ---**
So the reason they started fighting
isn't important anymore.
**[12:11] ---**
You're too good at this, Rena.
**[12:15] ---**
You guys okay?
**[12:17] ---**
I wouldn't say okay.
**[12:18] ---**
I'd say our friendship
has thoroughly ended.
**[12:21] ---**
That's what I was going to say.
**[12:23] ---**
You know something?
**[12:26] ---**
No one has to do everything together
until the end--not even twins.
**[12:30] ---**
Even if they'll never forget
the wonderful time they spent together...
**[12:37] ---**
...they don't *have*
to always stay together.
**[12:41] ---**
Even twins can grow apart. Family, too.
**[12:46] ---**
That doesn't mean
your relationship is over.
**[12:51] ---**
Can I add something to that,
Satoko, Rika-*chan*?
**[12:55] ---**
You know what I think a friend is?
**[12:59] ---**
Even if you're not with someone,
or don't want to see someone again,
**[13:04] ---**
when you see them down the line,
**[13:06] ---**
you both know you'll always have
that relationship with them.
**[13:14] ---**
That's what it means
to be friends with someone.
**[13:19] ---**
The word "friendship"
doesn't shackle you to someone.
**[13:23] ---**
If you think you always have to be
with someone to be their friend,
**[13:27] ---**
then I think you've got
the wrong idea about friendship.
**[14:08] ---**
"Hinamizawa"
**[14:14] ---**
Morning, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[14:17] ---**
Why are you always here so early?
**[14:19] ---**
You can sleep in every now and then...
actually, maybe not.
**[14:23] ---**
I totally can't! Not today!
**[14:28] ---**
Morning, guys! Glad you're not late!
**[14:32] ---**
We couldn't be late! If we missed out
on today's big event, I'd be so upset!
**[14:36] ---**
Yeah! After all, today's the day
when our dear friend
**[14:40] ---**
sets off on her big adventure!
**[15:15] ---**
"Sunday, March 29th"
**[15:32] ---**
"Shinkansen Track 16"
**[15:40] ---**
Give it everything you've got, Rika-*chan*.
**[15:42] ---**
And don't forget that
Hinamizawa school club spirit!
**[15:45] ---**
You can do anything you set
your mind to, I know it, Rika-*chan*!
**[15:48] ---**
You've got endorsements from the first
and second club presidents, after all!
**[15:51] ---**
Mm-hmm!
**[15:53] ---**
You look *so kyute* in your
St. Lucia uniform! I wanna take you home!
**[16:00] ---**
But then I couldn't take the train.
**[16:06] ---**
Thank you for riding the Shinkansen.
**[16:11] ---**
The 12:52 Hikari for Tokyo
is arriving on track number 15.
**[16:17] ---**
Please stand behind the yellow line.
**[16:27] ---**
Right, well, I'm off.
**[16:35] ---**
How are you *just* getting here, Satoko?!
**[16:37] ---**
She'll be back in three years.
If she doesn't get held back, of course!
**[16:44] ---**
Wait, hold on! I haven't passed on
Shion's message yet!
**[16:49] ---**
--C'mon.
--Let them talk!
**[16:51] ---**
--All right, let's go, Mion.
--Let's go, Mii-*chan*!
**[16:54] ---**
So this is goodbye.
**[16:56] ---**
Do enjoy life all on your lonesome.
**[16:59] ---**
Unfortunately, I recall you telling me
I'll make many lovely friends there.
**[17:05] ---**
You will. So many fancy friends
who will be perfectly suited for you.
**[17:11] ---**
Still, you won't be there, Satoko.
**[17:15] ---**
True. And you won't be here, Rika.
**[17:20] ---**
We're the only looping lives
in this entire universe.
**[17:26] ---**
And because our lives are eternal,
sometimes we need to be apart.
**[17:32] ---**
So we don't grow sick of one another.
**[17:34] ---**
To strengthen our bonds of friendship.
**[17:38] ---**
But if I don't see you for a while,
I'll come looking for you.
**[17:44] ---**
If you come after me, I'll run away.
**[17:47] ---**
If you stop coming after me,
you'll find me.
**[17:49] ---**
If you go north, I'll go south.
**[17:52] ---**
If you go east, I'll go west.
**[17:55] ---**
We'll see each other again someday.
**[17:57] ---**
Sooner than we think.

**[18:45] ---**
Oh?
**[18:57] ---**
Have a good year, everyone!

**[19:54] ---**
"Irie Clinic"
**[20:02] ---**
You came back!
**[20:27] ---**
Where am I...?
**[20:31] ---**
Where's Satoko?
**[20:49] ---**
Hey, Satoko!
**[20:59] ---**
Check this out! I got this
awesome meat at a super low price!
**[21:04] ---**
Why so much?
**[21:05] ---**
Well, I also got a bunch of veggies
that were on sale,
**[21:10] ---**
so I figured we could have ourselves
a *sukiyaki* party tonight!
**[21:15] ---**
I'm not quite in the mood for a party.
**[21:17] ---**
Heyo! It's your Nee-Nee!
**[21:20] ---**
Whoa, Shion-*san*!
**[21:22] ---**
I wish I could've seen
little miss Rika off!
**[21:26] ---**
I can't believe Uncle Yoshiro
made me work!
**[21:29] ---**
Hey there, Uncle Teppei!
**[21:31] ---**
Goodness, you're not going to eat
all that by yourselves, are you?
**[21:36] ---**
You're more than welcome to join us!
**[21:40] ---**
This simply isn't for me.
**[21:43] ---**
It's about time for me
to come after you, Rika.
**[21:57] ---**
Very well, Satoko Hojo.
**[22:00] ---**
I'll return yourself to you.
**[22:13] ---**
What's up?
**[22:14] ---**
Are you feeling okay?
**[22:23] ---**
I'm right as rain!
**[22:26] ---**
A *sukiyaki* party sounds lovely!
**[22:29] ---**
Watch out, or I'll steal all the yummy
bits out from underneath you!
**[22:33] ---**
Sure, but I bought enough
to counter that plan of yours!
**[22:38] ---**
My, you're quite good at this too, Uncle!
**[22:43] ---**
You've trained me well, Satoko!
I'm a supermarket shopper extraordinaire!
**[22:48] ---**
This is still so much food. Why don't we
invite Kei-*chan* and Rena-*san*, too?
**[22:53] ---**
Oh, I can call my sister, too!
**[22:58] ---**
Well, speak of the devil...
**[23:03] ---**
Keiichi-*san*! Rena-*san*! Mion-*san*!
