[00:26] ---
It hurts...
[00:29] ---
It hurts? This is nothing.
[00:33] ---
What you did to Satoko...
[00:35] ---
...hurt way more than this!
[01:06] ---
Stifling air quietly shaking me
[01:09] ---
Suggestive silence
[01:13] ---
The distortions in the light
growing more twisted
[01:16] ---
Logic lost to me now
[01:20] ---
I believe what you said
[01:23] ---
A place I long to return to
[01:27] ---
Distinct scenery
[01:30] ---
She sneered as she declared she wanted it all
[01:35] ---
I've always felt your joy
[01:38] ---
I've always felt your tears
[01:43] ---
No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me
[01:49] ---
The one and only answer
[01:52] ---
The door I was searching for
[01:56] ---
Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me
[02:03] ---
Something engulfed in the bright light
[02:11] ---
The true nature of everything
[02:13] ---
"Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
The true nature of everything

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] ---
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
