Stifling air quietly shaking me
[00:56] ---
Suggestive silence
[01:00] ---
The distortions in the light
growing more twisted
[01:03] ---
Logic lost to me now
[01:07] ---
I believe what you said
[01:10] ---
A place I long to return to
[01:14] ---
Distinct scenery
[01:17] ---
She sneered as she declared she wanted it all
[01:22] ---
I've always felt your joy
[01:25] ---
I've always felt your tears
[01:30] ---
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
[01:50] ---
Something engulfed in the bright light
[01:58] ---
The true nature of everything
[02:00] ---

The true nature of everything
[02:02] ---
The true nature of everything
[02:13] ---
--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.

[04:13] ---
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] ---
Club rule ♪7: You must accept
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,
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
[23:12] ---
As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything
[23:22] ---
I shiver and despair over my own helplessness
