**[00:17] ---**
A tragedy must have occurred.
**[00:21] ---**
That's the only reason I'd be here.
**[00:24] ---**
I'm going to be sick of
your face soon enough.
**[00:29] ---**
Were you killed by
the Mountain Dogs? By Takano?
**[00:33] ---**
I couldn't tell you. I can't remember
the hours leading up to my death.
**[00:39] ---**
But I don't think I was.
**[00:43] ---**
I remember running out of that classroom
hellbent on killing myself.
**[00:46] ---**
I can't remember if I found a knife
to slit my throat or drowned myself.
**[00:50] ---**
What happened on that fragment?
**[00:54] ---**
I'm sorry, I know you don't
want to think about it...
**[00:57] ---**
Insubstantial as I am,
**[01:00] ---**
I cannot view your fragments,
let alone join you in them.
**[01:05] ---**
Still, discussing what happened
might help us understand this situation.
**[01:12] ---**
I think Keiichi and Rena
killed each other...
**[01:16] ---**
...as a result of paranoia
caused by Hinamizawa Syndrome.
**[01:20] ---**
That's horrible.
**[01:23] ---**
For Keiichi, for Rena,
**[01:25] ---**
and for your heart, Rika.
**[01:27] ---**
Agreed.
**[01:28] ---**
I knew Keiichi was suspicious
and fearful of Rena's behavior,
**[01:31] ---**
but I'd thought my words to him had
convinced him everything was all right.
**[01:35] ---**
How wrong I was to believe that.
**[01:37] ---**
You shouldn't blame yourself.
**[01:40] ---**
Even if your centuries
of scars are fading,
**[01:43] ---**
they will never disappear.
**[01:47] ---**
Believe me, I'm well aware.
**[01:50] ---**
People cannot live on without hope.
**[01:53] ---**
That's why I refuse to give in to despair.
**[01:55] ---**
It's only one failure.
**[01:59] ---**
Hanyuu...
**[02:01] ---**
I shouldn't have been mean to you earlier.
**[02:04] ---**
Talking with you now has made
my heart feel a little bit lighter.
**[02:10] ---**
I'm sorry for saying
I would be sick of your face.
**[02:17] ---**
Rika, I know you'll make it out of this.
**[02:21] ---**
Just like before,
you *will* create a miracle.
**[02:25] ---**
Right.
**[02:33] ---**
Breaking her spirit
will not be easy, it seems.
**[02:40] ---**
Goodness, my neck still hurts.
**[02:44] ---**
Even though I know
it's no more than a memory,
**[02:47] ---**
I still feel the knife slicing into
my neck. It's quite unpleasant, Eua-*san*.
**[02:53] ---**
That is because my power is
at full strength, unlike that failure.
**[02:59] ---**
Though if you'd prefer,
I can also grant you memory loss,
**[03:04] ---**
much like the ability
that failure gifted the cat.
**[03:08] ---**
I was merely grousing, that's all.
**[03:10] ---**
You've already given me a special ability,
Eua-*san*. It's more than enough.
**[03:17] ---**
If you die after the cat,
**[03:20] ---**
then you will travel with her
to the same fragment.
**[03:25] ---**
That's right, and I won't
let her out of my sight.
**[03:28] ---**
Besides, knowing Rika,
she likely believes Takano is behind this.
**[03:33] ---**
Because in your previous fragment,
**[03:35] ---**
Keiichi seemed to succumb to the syndrome,
much like he did in the past.
**[03:42] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, Rika,
**[03:44] ---**
but your hundred years
of experience will not help you
**[03:48] ---**
when you're living in worlds
where I control the curse!
**[03:53] ---**
You are so very amusing.
**[03:57] ---**
Now, how will you entertain me next?
**[05:31] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry SOTSU"
**[05:44] ---**
"Sunday, June 5th"
**[05:51] ---**
Good morning.
**[05:52] ---**
Good morning, Rika!
**[05:54] ---**
My, you look a bit pale.
**[05:58] ---**
I woke up from a scary dream.
**[06:02] ---**
I'm sorry to hear that.
What happened in the dream?
**[06:07] ---**
I've already forgotten all about it.
**[06:09] ---**
Besides, it was just a dream!
**[06:23] ---**
Rika, you know full well
that was no dream.
**[06:29] ---**
I'll admit, you know how
to use a blade quite well.
**[06:34] ---**
But I'd like to find a method that's
a bit more pleasant next time.
**[07:00] ---**
Stop pesterin' me, asshole!
**[07:03] ---**
S-Satoko!
**[07:05] ---**
Hello, Uncle.
**[07:06] ---**
I-I'm sorry! I thought you were that
asshole landlady here to complain again!
**[07:12] ---**
I'm so sorry for yelling at you!
**[07:13] ---**
If I'd known it was you,
I would've opened the door with a smile!
**[07:17] ---**
One just like this!
**[07:20] ---**
Very well. I forgive you.
**[07:23] ---**
Y-You mean it?
**[07:26] ---**
I can't keep ya standing out here!
Come inside and have some tea!
**[07:30] ---**
A-Actually, let's go to
the mahjong parlor--
**[07:32] ---**
Er, or a café to get something sweet!
**[07:35] ---**
Thank you for offering,
but I'd rather not.
**[07:38] ---**
O-Oh, sorry.
**[07:40] ---**
I just don't know what kind of stuff
a girl your age might prefer.
**[07:46] ---**
You can make it up to me
by doing me a favor.
**[07:50] ---**
Of course! Whatever I can do for ya,
I'll happily help out with!
**[07:55] ---**
There's a special place I'd like to go,
but they won't let me in by myself.
**[08:06] ---**
That's it! Keep the pressure on 'im!
**[08:09] ---**
One horse is racing ahead of the pack--
by God, it's Wanyan Daio!
**[08:15] ---**
Wait, look who's coming out wide!
It's Cheshire Cat Munchy!
**[08:18] ---**
Wanyan Daio's in the lead!
But will it be Cheshire Cat Munchy?!
**[08:21] ---**
Go! Go!
**[08:24] ---**
"Race 6 Winner"
And it's Wanyan Daio with the win,
and Cheshire Cat Munchy with second!
**[08:28] ---**
"Race bet: Top two finishers"
**[08:31] ---**
Yes! We won!
**[08:35] ---**
1 in 380 odds! Three hundred and eighty!
**[08:40] ---**
Satoko!
**[08:42] ---**
You were right on the money!
**[08:44] ---**
You're the goddess of good luck!
**[08:46] ---**
Uncle!
**[08:48] ---**
S-Sorry, I was excited...
**[08:51] ---**
Let's go home.
**[08:52] ---**
My magic only works once.
**[08:56] ---**
S-Satoko...
**[09:12] ---**
I cannot believe it.
**[09:15] ---**
How can men live like this
with no qualms whatsoever?
**[09:20] ---**
It's embarrassing.
**[09:21] ---**
Uncle, please gather up all the trash in
this room. There's nowhere for us to sit.
**[09:26] ---**
And you should put your futon
away every morning!
**[09:30] ---**
There's nothin' wrong
with leavin' it out--
**[09:32] ---**
What was that?
**[09:33] ---**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[09:49] ---**
So, Satoko...
**[09:50] ---**
I was thinking about it,
**[09:53] ---**
and I think you should have half
this cash--no, more than half, please.
**[09:59] ---**
This is more than enough for me.
**[10:02] ---**
The rest is all yours, Uncle.
**[10:05] ---**
N-No, I couldn't!
**[10:07] ---**
You paid for the bet.
**[10:10] ---**
All I did was tell you the name
of the horse I dreamed about.
**[10:15] ---**
Th-Thank you, Satoko! I owe ya!
**[10:19] ---**
Don't be so glum, Uncle.
**[10:22] ---**
This was quite the windfall.
We've got to celebrate.
**[10:27] ---**
Thanks, but my doctor says I shouldn't.
**[10:30] ---**
One measly drink couldn't hurt.
Besides, we're celebrating.
**[10:35] ---**
I guess you're right. Just one is fine.
**[10:39] ---**
I'll enjoy this soda.
**[10:46] ---**
I'm so goddamn happy.
**[10:50] ---**
My cute niece is bein' so damn nice.
**[10:55] ---**
She's so nice,
but I was such an asshole...
**[11:00] ---**
I'm so sorry, Satoko! Please forgive me!
**[11:03] ---**
It's all in the past.
You're all right, Uncle.
**[11:06] ---**
I'm not all right!
I've gotta keep you safe, Satoko!
**[11:12] ---**
How very dependable of you.
**[11:14] ---**
Though I still can't help but worry.
**[11:17] ---**
You have some scary friends,
don't you, Uncle? I don't like scary men.
**[11:23] ---**
Y-Yeah, I hung out with
a scary crowd in the past.
**[11:28] ---**
But don't worry,
I ain't associated with them anymore.
**[11:31] ---**
So you don't have any way
of contacting them?
**[11:34] ---**
I do, in my address book.
**[11:36] ---**
That's so scary.
**[11:39] ---**
What if someone finds your address book
and you get in trouble?
**[11:46] ---**
Don't worry 'bout it.
**[11:48] ---**
Even if the cops peeked through it,
I put everyone under fake names.
**[11:56] ---**
You're so smart, Uncle.
**[12:04] ---**
Let's say I wanted to buy something
*dangerous* that I couldn't buy elsewhere.
**[12:11] ---**
Which one of those
fake names would sell that?
**[12:22] ---**
"Kawauchi"
**[12:27] ---**
"Flower Road"
**[13:02] ---**
This ain't your daddy's car, sweetie.
**[13:05] ---**
My, I thought I used
the correct number of knocks.
**[13:09] ---**
That is why you opened the door, yes?
**[13:12] ---**
I got no beef with you, sweetie.
**[13:15] ---**
You should get the hell away from
whoever you're workin' for.
**[13:18] ---**
I brought cash.
**[13:20] ---**
Look, deals like this only happen
if we trust one another.
**[13:25] ---**
You won't say who you are,
but shove cash in my face?
**[13:28] ---**
You better have enough
to buy my trust, too.
**[13:32] ---**
Could you please stop jabbering
and see if this is enough?
**[13:38] ---**
Holy shit.
**[13:39] ---**
Ain't you generous.
**[13:42] ---**
As you just mentioned,
I've brought enough to buy your trust.
**[13:49] ---**
Sure. I won't ask any questions
about who you work for.
**[13:53] ---**
This here's payment enough.
**[13:57] ---**
Here are the goods.
**[14:03] ---**
Pleasure doing business with you.
**[14:10] ---**
Shooting lessons are extra.
Does your boss know how to use that?
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[14:19] ---**
"Classroom"
**[14:20] ---**
Huh? You wanna learn how to shoot a gun?
**[14:23] ---**
Yes. I figured you might
have some knowledge.
**[14:26] ---**
You figured right! This old fart learned
how to shoot from a foreign ex-soldier!
**[14:32] ---**
As a member of our club,
**[14:34] ---**
I thought it would be a fine idea to learn
how to use a variety of weapons!
**[14:38] ---**
Sure. I've always wanted to do
a big watergun fight in club, too.
**[14:44] ---**
I'll teach ya!
**[14:50] ---**
What's that?
**[14:51] ---**
Your training gun.
**[15:00] ---**
Wow. This model gun is quite well-crafted.
**[15:04] ---**
Right? It was specially made to have
the same weight as the real thing.
**[15:19] ---**
I shouldn't be surprised!
**[15:20] ---**
Remember what I just told you.
**[15:23] ---**
The best way to get better
is lots and lots of practice.
**[15:28] ---**
Practice makes perfect, as they say!
**[15:30] ---**
My, I'm quite good at that.
**[16:25] ---**
Not to worry. I'm quite accustomed
to handling firearms.
**[16:36] ---**
Hello?
**[16:38] ---**
Morning, Satoko-*chan*!
You sound like you just woke up!
**[16:42] ---**
My, it's just you, Rena-*san*.
**[16:43] ---**
What do you want so early in the morning?
**[16:46] ---**
Good morning, Satoko!
**[16:48] ---**
Mion-*san* is with you?
I know what that means.
**[16:51] ---**
You sure do! Grab Rika-*chan*
and meet up in Okinomiya!
**[16:53] ---**
"Saturday, June 11th"
You sure do! Grab Rika-*chan*
and meet up in Okinomiya!
**[16:57] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
You're coming, right?
**[16:59] ---**
Absolutely! I'm coming
to destroy you, just you wait!
**[17:08] ---**
Today's gonna be big!
**[17:11] ---**
I heard Mion-*san* produced
the money for a cash price!
**[17:14] ---**
A big one, too! Fifty thousand yen!
**[17:18] ---**
That's enough money
to make your head spin!
**[17:21] ---**
"Da Vinci"
**[17:22] ---**
"Da Vinci"
My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[17:24] ---**
My, there you are! We've been waiting!
**[17:26] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[17:28] ---**
Hey! Morning, guys.
**[17:31] ---**
Wait, is this where
we're having club today?!
**[17:34] ---**
The shop holds game tournaments
every now and then to attract customers.
**[17:39] ---**
That means all the guys in here
are gonna play in the tournament?
**[17:44] ---**
That's right! Today, we get to play against
a lot more people than just ourselves!
**[17:50] ---**
So I've gotta beat all of them, too...
**[17:54] ---**
This is gonna be so much fun, Kei-*chan*.
**[18:05] ---**
What?! You recovered from that already?!
**[18:09] ---**
It's sooo kyute!
I wanna take them all home!
**[18:14] ---**
I've never played the fishing game before.
Please go easy on me.
**[18:19] ---**
Don't worry! We'll teach you how to play!
**[18:24] ---**
All right, this old fart's gonna take you on.
Pick out a game you're good at.
**[18:32] ---**
I've played you so many times,
I don't know how many this makes.
**[18:36] ---**
Huh? But we just met today, didn't we?
**[18:42] ---**
I've memorized them all.
**[18:53] ---**
--Whoa, no way!
--Are you psychic or something?!
**[18:57] ---**
Have a gander at this!
**[18:58] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[19:01] ---**
That was far too easy.
**[19:03] ---**
H-Holy crap, you won already?!
**[19:06] ---**
Nicely done, Satoko.
**[19:08] ---**
I expected no less
of you, either, Mion-*san*.
**[19:10] ---**
You're done too, Mion?! That fast?!
**[19:13] ---**
Well then, Mion-*san*, shall we go have some
tea while we wait for the others to win?
**[19:20] ---**
Hey, great idea!
**[19:28] ---**
What should I get to drink?
**[19:30] ---**
How about this!
**[19:42] ---**
A thought, Eua-*san*.
**[19:44] ---**
What is it?
**[19:45] ---**
There were no worlds where
Mion-*san* lost herself to paranoia.
**[19:50] ---**
That's correct.
**[19:52] ---**
Hinamizawa Syndrome is triggered in those
who are physically distant from the Queen
**[19:56] ---**
or those who are experiencing
increased mental stress.
**[20:01] ---**
And while Mion-*san* seems emotional,
**[20:04] ---**
she's actually quite
the logical thinker. Is that why?
**[20:08] ---**
That, or her sense of duty as the next head
of the Sonozakis bolsters her resolve.
**[20:15] ---**
In either case,
**[20:16] ---**
I wonder what Mion-*san* would do
if she were to be afflicted?
**[20:22] ---**
I must say, I'm curious.
**[20:27] ---**
Sorry, guys. I'll make it up
to you next time, promise!
**[20:31] ---**
We'll have to continue
the fun later, then!
**[20:35] ---**
Thanks to you guys,
the shop made a huge profit today!
**[20:37] ---**
Here's a little something to say thanks.
**[20:40] ---**
Hey, Uncle Yoshiro,
where's my little something?
**[20:44] ---**
I'll give you a big tip
next time I see you at work.
**[20:47] ---**
No fair.
**[20:48] ---**
--Oh, my!
--This is so cute!
**[20:51] ---**
Can I really take this home?!
**[20:54] ---**
Is mine cute, too...?
**[20:59] ---**
It's sooo kyute!
**[21:02] ---**
That's the last thing
I'd expect you to want, Kei-*chan*!
**[21:05] ---**
I'll admit it's cute,
**[21:07] ---**
but I can't say a doll
like this is for me...
**[21:09] ---**
If you took that home,
everyone'd think you were a total perv.
**[21:13] ---**
Yeah, it's really not my thing.
**[21:20] ---**
Keiichi.
**[21:23] ---**
As long as you're kind about it,
**[21:25] ---**
you could give it to anyone, and they
wouldn't be flustered, they'd accept it!
**[21:32] ---**
Here, Mion, you have it.
You'll get more use out of it than me.
**[21:36] ---**
Huh?! But I'm so not the type for dolls!
**[21:39] ---**
Like, I'm always wondering why I wasn't
just born a guy or something, you know?
**[21:44] ---**
C'mon, just take it!
**[21:47] ---**
O-Okay.
**[21:50] ---**
I also think you're a better home
for her than Keiichi-*kun*!
**[23:39] ---**
