It hurts...
**[00:29] ---**
It hurts? This is nothing.
**[00:33] ---**
What you did to Satoko...
**[00:35] ---**
...hurt *way* more than *this*!

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!

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*
**[23:40] ---**
