    "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.
[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] ---
