[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...
[01:09] ---
Stifling air quietly shaking me
[01:12] ---
Suggestive silence
[01:16] ---
The distortions in the light
growing more twisted
[01:19] ---
Logic lost to me now
[01:23] ---
I believe what you said
[01:26] ---
A place I long to return to
[01:30] ---
Distinct scenery
[01:33] ---
She sneered as she declared she wanted it all
[01:38] ---
I've always felt your joy
[01:41] ---
I've always felt your tears
[01:46] ---
No one was closer to you,
now those memories haunt me
[01:52] ---
The one and only answer
[01:55] ---
The door I was searching for
[01:59] ---
Slowly opened just now,
and revealed to me
[02:06] ---
Something engulfed in the bright light
[02:14] ---
The true nature of everything
[02:16] ---
"Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
The true nature of everything
[02:18] ---
The true nature of everything
[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.

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!
[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] ---
