**[00:23] ---**
Hello? I know you're in there!
**[00:29] ---**
Piss off.
**[00:32] ---**
A few tenants have made complaints
about the smell from your unit!
**[00:37] ---**
I said piss off, bitch!
**[00:40] ---**
What the shit am I supposed
to do about it, huh?!
**[00:42] ---**
Stop makin' up stuff to come
shit on me about, asshole!
**[00:49] ---**
Dumbass bitch!
**[00:55] ---**
"Prescription Teppei Hojo"
**[01:01] ---**
"Thursday, June 9th, 1983"
**[01:03] ---**
My! What an extravagant lunch
you've brought, Mion-*san*!
**[01:09] ---**
There're so many different things
in there! What a treat!
**[01:12] ---**
The mayor and his friends came over
to drink and hang out last night,
**[01:15] ---**
so I stole a bit of the leftover
food for lunch today.
**[01:19] ---**
Guess that explains why so much
of your lunch is snacky stuff.
**[01:22] ---**
Man, though, I should've known you'd be
good at piecing together a nice lunch.
**[01:29] ---**
Rena's lunch looks really great, too!
**[01:32] ---**
Thanks! It's not as nice as Mion's,
but I think it's kinda cute.
**[01:36] ---**
But your secret ingredient's love, right?
**[01:38] ---**
My lunch doesn't even
measure up to yours there!
**[01:41] ---**
We'd better learn from their brilliant examples.
**[01:44] ---**
What do you guys have for lunch?
**[01:47] ---**
Ta-dah!
**[01:50] ---**
We got some nice meat from a neighbor!
**[01:53] ---**
It looks super protein-heavy, but it's
actually pretty well-balanced! Nice!
**[01:57] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s going to make
her husband very happy someday!
**[02:01] ---**
I'll have a tight grip on him and his stomach.
**[02:05] ---**
And then you've got Satoko...
**[02:07] ---**
Whatever are you implying?!
**[02:09] ---**
I may not be as skilled a chef as Rika,
but I can hold my own in the kitchen!
**[02:15] ---**
But can you tell the difference
between cauliflower and broccoli?
**[02:20] ---**
Of course!
**[02:22] ---**
Broccoli is green...
**[02:24] ---**
No, the yellow one is...
**[02:28] ---**
C'mon, now, what color is broccoli?
**[02:35] ---**
You're so mean, Keiichi-*san*!
**[02:39] ---**
If you're gonna be that smug about it,
you'd better be a good cook yourself.
**[02:44] ---**
I-I know I'm at least better than Satoko!
Even if it's *just* Satoko!
**[02:50] ---**
Excuse me?!
**[02:51] ---**
Okay, then why don't you show us
your cooking skills at lunch tomorrow?
**[02:57] ---**
And no cheating, like getting
someone else to make your lunch!
**[03:02] ---**
My, what a wonderful idea!
Do you accept, Keiichi-*san*?
**[03:09] ---**
Sure, bring it!
**[03:11] ---**
My lunch is gonna knock
your damn socks off tomorrow!
**[03:15] ---**
I can't wait to see what you bring!
**[03:19] ---**
Keiichi:
**[03:21] ---**
Your dad and I have to go to
Tokyo for some urgent work.
**[03:26] ---**
We'll be there for the next few days,
**[03:28] ---**
so this is the perfect time to
learn how to cook for yourself!
**[03:34] ---**
*Why?!* Of all the times, why *now*?!
**[03:37] ---**
Fine, then! I'll do it myself!
**[03:42] ---**
I can cook, too, dammit!
**[03:50] ---**
I have no clue what I'm doing!
**[03:53] ---**
"Vegetable Stir-Fry"
Got it! All I gotta do is fry stuff up!
**[03:59] ---**
Next!
**[04:02] ---**
"Add a teaspoon of oil"?
**[04:05] ---**
The heck is a "teaspoon"?
**[04:08] ---**
Is this enough?
**[04:12] ---**
Nice! Now *this* is cooking!
**[04:15] ---**
What on earth are you doing?!
**[04:28] ---**
Satoko and Rika-*chan*?
**[04:30] ---**
What're you guys doing here?
You're trespassing!
**[04:34] ---**
And you're committing
an act of arson, Keiichi-*san*!
**[04:39] ---**
Wait, was I really about to burn my house down?
**[04:42] ---**
Yes, you most certainly were!
**[04:44] ---**
If we hadn't come by,
**[04:46] ---**
your house would go "whoosh"
and the fire trucks would go "wee-woo"!
**[04:49] ---**
S-Sorry about that...
**[04:52] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[04:54] ---**
Here I'd come to see if your skills
really did live up to your bragging...
**[05:02] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, please step out of the kitchen.
**[05:06] ---**
Satoko?
**[05:07] ---**
Just be quiet and wait out here, Keiichi.
**[05:13] ---**
My goodness, what is it with men
and being so careless?
**[05:19] ---**
Keiichi-*san*! If you have time
to sit there like a buffoon,
**[05:22] ---**
then you have time to set the table!
**[05:24] ---**
R-Right.
**[05:26] ---**
We'll get to eat soon.
**[05:29] ---**
We'll all have dinner here, at your house!
**[05:33] ---**
You're sure in a good mood, Rika-*chan*.
**[05:36] ---**
Wish Satoko were more like that
instead of totally angry.
**[05:38] ---**
You're wrong.
**[05:40] ---**
Satoko's not angry at all.
**[05:43] ---**
She hasn't done this in a while,
so she's having a lot of fun.
**[05:46] ---**
My word, he's so pathetic...
**[05:49] ---**
She's having fun? Does that look like "fun"?
**[05:52] ---**
This reminds Satoko of what it was like
when her *Nii-Nii* was around.
**[05:55] ---**
Big what?
**[05:56] ---**
That was what she calls her big brother.
**[05:59] ---**
His name is Satoshi.
**[06:01] ---**
I didn't know Satoko had
an older brother. That's news to me.
**[06:06] ---**
Satoko was always this happy
when she was with Satoshi.
**[06:13] ---**
You said "was." Does that mean
he's not around anymore?
**[06:18] ---**
The food is ready!
**[06:21] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, where is your rice scoop?
**[06:26] ---**
Dinner is served!
**[06:29] ---**
I'm so hungry!
**[06:30] ---**
Thank you for cooking!
**[06:39] ---**
The rice is nice and fluffy,
and the miso soup is great, too!
**[06:45] ---**
Experiencing a change in opinion over there?
**[06:47] ---**
I was wrong about you, Satoko.
**[06:54] ---**
You win by a long shot.
**[06:57] ---**
While I'm certainly honored
by your kind words,
**[06:59] ---**
this meal isn't that extravagant.
**[07:02] ---**
I only made the rice and the miso soup myself.
The sides are all from a can.
**[07:08] ---**
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
**[07:11] ---**
This is an amazing meal.
**[07:14] ---**
Well, so long as you understand
that I do have some cooking ability,
**[07:20] ---**
then I suppose this will have to do.
**[07:24] ---**
This is so fun! It reminds me of when
we'd eat dinner with Satoshi.
**[07:31] ---**
It does. I wonder what he's doing right now.
**[07:38] ---**
Oh, Satoshi is my *Nii-Nii*--
**[07:42] ---**
I mean, my *big brother*!
**[07:46] ---**
He can barely take care of himself,
yet he still ran away from home!
**[07:52] ---**
--He ran away?
--Yes, but I'm sure he'll give up
eventually and come home.
**[08:02] ---**
What is it?
**[08:03] ---**
I never knew you were this mature, Satoko.
**[08:07] ---**
I-I've always been this mature!
**[08:11] ---**
Do you wish you could see your *Nii-Nii*?
**[08:14] ---**
I-I didn't say he was my "*Nii-Nii*"!
**[08:16] ---**
He's my *big brother*! Say it properly!
**[08:18] ---**
You did say that, though.
**[08:20] ---**
--Sure did.
--I-I did not!
**[08:22] ---**
I do *not* call my *Nii-Nii*
by a nickname like that!
**[08:26] ---**
Thanks for cooking today.
**[08:27] ---**
If Satoko hadn't come by, you would've
been all grumbly in your tumbly!
**[08:32] ---**
Indeed!
**[08:34] ---**
Keiichi-*san*! Be sure to brush
your teeth before bed!
**[08:38] ---**
Will do, Satoko!
**[08:39] ---**
Okay, have a good night!
**[08:47] ---**
What's up, Rika-*chan*?
**[08:49] ---**
You earned an A-plus today, Keiichi!
**[08:53] ---**
Have a round of applause!
**[08:55] ---**
I didn't do anything especially
deserving of a pat on the back...
**[08:58] ---**
I bet Satoko felt like her *Nii-Nii*
had come home for her,
**[09:02] ---**
and that made her really happy!
**[09:05] ---**
I can't play the same role Satoshi
did for her, but I think you can, Keiichi.
**[09:11] ---**
Rika! Why ever are you lollygagging?!
**[09:15] ---**
Okay, I have to go.
**[09:18] ---**
See ya.
**[09:29] ---**
"Friday, June 10th, 1983"
**[09:32] ---**
"Sevens Mart" Listen up, now!
**[09:34] ---**
"Sevens Mart"
Most supermarkets have special sales
called "limited-time sales"!
**[09:37] ---**
Uh-huh?
**[09:38] ---**
If you wait just a bit, the pork
for your stir fry will be half price!
**[09:43] ---**
If we wanna save money,
why don't we get this family pack?
**[09:46] ---**
Are you planning on feeding a family?!
**[09:49] ---**
My goodness, Keiichi-*san*.
**[09:50] ---**
You are utterly lacking in
financial management skills.
**[09:54] ---**
This after you begged for my assistance!
**[10:03] ---**
Shopping for ingredients is pretty fun.
Now I can't wait for dinner.
**[10:07] ---**
It's just one of the many
wonderful facets of cooking.
**[10:10] ---**
Our stir fry tonight will be
absolutely scrumptious!
**[10:14] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:17] ---**
Especially 'cause you're the one
who's gonna be making it, Satoko.
**[10:20] ---**
Oh, w-well of course!
**[10:24] ---**
I'm glad you're looking forward to it!
**[10:36] ---**
Oh, yeah! This is the kind of
stir fry I was hoping for!
**[10:43] ---**
And it's good! So freakin' good!
**[10:49] ---**
Keiichi-*san*, have you washed your hands?
**[10:52] ---**
Can't I just wash them after?
**[10:54] ---**
No, you cannot!
**[10:55] ---**
You must always wash
your hands before dinner!
**[10:59] ---**
All right, all right...
**[11:14] ---**
I thought you might fall
for that one, Keiichi-*san*!
**[11:17] ---**
S-Satoko!
**[11:20] ---**
I can't believe you...
**[11:27] ---**
What is it, Keiichi-*san*?
**[11:29] ---**
Oh, just...
**[11:30] ---**
I'm an only child, so this is kind of nice.
**[11:37] ---**
Your parents won't be home
to cook for you anytime soon, correct?
**[11:41] ---**
If you'd like--
**[11:46] ---**
Mom? What's up?
**[11:48] ---**
We finished up work earlier than we thought!
**[11:52] ---**
We'll be home tomorrow morning.
**[11:55] ---**
Huh? Tomorrow?
**[11:57] ---**
Wow, okay.
**[12:02] ---**
"Saturday, June 11th, 1983"
**[12:05] ---**
I'm home.
**[12:06] ---**
Good timing! You've got a call from Rena-*chan*!
**[12:11] ---**
What's up, Rena? Is club stuff happening?
**[12:13] ---**
This is different, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:15] ---**
I need you to help us win a fight!
**[12:18] ---**
F-Fight?!
**[12:19] ---**
They've driven Satoko-*chan* into a corner,
and she's in real big trouble!
**[12:23] ---**
Satoko's in trouble?!
Got it, I'll be right there!
**[12:37] ---**
I'm coming, Satoko!
**[12:44] ---**
I'll beat them all to a pulp!
**[12:53] ---**
Wait, what?
**[12:55] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:57] ---**
Satoko-*chan*, Keiichi-*kun*'s here!
**[13:00] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s here to help us!
**[13:03] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*, over here!
**[13:18] ---**
Hey, Keiichi-*kun*, can I ask
you a question? Can I...?
**[13:25] ---**
Y-You could've *told* me this "fight"
was just a baseball game!
**[13:33] ---**
What?!
**[13:34] ---**
I don't even need to run the bases!
**[13:38] ---**
We won, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[13:41] ---**
Why did you even need me?
**[13:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:47] ---**
All right, Coach, you remember the deal, right?
**[13:51] ---**
Yeah, I remember...
**[13:53] ---**
Tomorrow, I'll host a big barbecue.
**[13:57] ---**
Yeah! Make sure you get
the really expensive beef.
**[14:00] ---**
Don't get cheap on us and bring a bunch
of vegetables, or you'll regret it!
**[14:06] ---**
Poor, poor Irie, and poor, poor Irie's wallet!
**[14:14] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th, 1983"
**[14:20] ---**
This meat is incredible!
**[14:22] ---**
I expected no less!
**[14:25] ---**
Third-rate cuts would be a pitiful reward
for my stellar performance!
**[14:30] ---**
You've got a point. Your game-ending
home run won us the game yesterday.
**[14:35] ---**
Satoko is athletically gifted!
**[14:37] ---**
She's not just gifted; she's one of
the best athletes of our generation!
**[14:43] ---**
Please, you're going to make me blush!
**[14:46] ---**
They sure sound like
they're having fun over here.
**[14:49] ---**
Huh?
**[14:50] ---**
Watching Satoko-*chan* makes my heart
feel healed. Wouldn't you agree?
**[14:54] ---**
Uhh...
**[14:55] ---**
I'm Irie, but everyone calls me Coach.
**[15:01] ---**
You... sure seem to like Satoko, huh, Coach?
**[15:05] ---**
Yeah, I do. I like her a lot.
**[15:08] ---**
In fact, when she gets older,
I hope to marry her.
**[15:12] ---**
Wait... what?!
**[15:14] ---**
Oh? Are you gunning for
Satoko-*chan*'s hand, too?
**[15:18] ---**
Well, this is awkward.
**[15:23] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s older brother, Satoshi-*kun*,
was on the Hinamizawa Fighters.
**[15:30] ---**
Oh, he was?
**[15:34] ---**
I wish he could've played
with us a little longer...
**[15:38] ---**
But he left Hinamizawa about a year ago.
**[15:42] ---**
Why did he leave?
**[15:44] ---**
A series of unfortunate events.
**[15:48] ---**
It was right around now when
it happened, three years ago.
**[15:53] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s parents were involved
in an untimely accident.
**[15:56] ---**
--An accident?
--Yes.
**[15:59] ---**
While they were on vacation,
**[16:01] ---**
they fell off an observation deck
on a cliff and... that was that.
**[16:04] ---**
So now, Satoko-*chan* is living with Furude-*san*,
who also lost her parents,
**[16:09] ---**
and the two of them support one another.
**[16:13] ---**
I've seriously considered adopting her.
**[16:18] ---**
Really?
**[16:19] ---**
But there are legal issues to deal with...
**[16:22] ---**
Issues that would prevent me
from adopting Satoko-*chan*.
**[16:27] ---**
It's really too bad.
**[16:28] ---**
Guess my master plan to get her to
call me "Papa" won't get anywhere soon.
**[16:34] ---**
I just want her to always be smiling.
**[16:40] ---**
Me, too.
**[16:42] ---**
Oh, you, too, Maebara-*san*?
**[16:45] ---**
Will you promise me something, then?
**[16:47] ---**
Promise you'll never make her cry.
**[16:52] ---**
Yeah, I promise.
**[16:55] ---**
Hypothetically, if you *were* able
to adopt her, what would you do?
**[17:00] ---**
That's a difficult question.
**[17:03] ---**
You'd get her to call you "Master"
and train her to be your personal maid.
**[17:08] ---**
What? Where's *that* coming from?
**[17:11] ---**
Uhh, I didn't say that...
**[17:13] ---**
Then, you'd make your well-trained pet
wear a maid outfit...
**[17:18] ---**
Oh, Satoko-*chan* in a maid outfit
would certainly look cute...
**[17:23] ---**
See, you said it yourself!
**[17:25] ---**
Shion!
**[17:27] ---**
Okay, I've got to go!
**[17:30] ---**
Hold it right there, Shion!
Why are you even here?
**[17:35] ---**
Well, you see,
**[17:37] ---**
I'm the manager of the
Hinamizawa Fighters!
**[17:40] ---**
Manager?! Then why didn't I
see you at the game yesterday?
**[17:44] ---**
That's because I'm not just a manager,
I'm a *phantom* manager!
**[17:49] ---**
The match would've been so much better
if you were there watching.
**[17:53] ---**
Come cheer us on next time, okay?
**[17:56] ---**
I'll certainly think about it.
**[17:58] ---**
Oh, before I forget!
**[18:00] ---**
Let me in on that promise of yours, all right?
**[18:03] ---**
Promise? You mean the one about Satoko?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes! After all, I'm Satoko's "*Nee-Nee*!"
**[18:10] ---**
What?
**[18:11] ---**
--Satoko! Your *Nee-Nee* is here!
**[18:13] ---**
--Whoa, Shion?!
--Could you please unhand me?!
--Satoko! Your *Nee-Nee* is here!
**[18:16] ---**
--Besides, I don't *need* a *Nee-Nee*!
--I wish moments like these could last forever.
**[18:20] ---**
Please, stop this at once!
**[18:29] ---**
Rika-*chan*?
**[18:31] ---**
Wait, where's Satoko?
**[18:32] ---**
Satoko went to go shopping for dinner.
**[18:36] ---**
She did? At just the right time, too.
**[18:39] ---**
She totally skipped out on clean-up!
**[18:42] ---**
Unlike you, Keiichi, Satoko is really clever!
**[18:51] ---**
Only a week to the Watanagashi festival.
**[18:54] ---**
I wonder if Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
is gonna strike again this year...
**[18:58] ---**
Last year, it got Satoshi-*san*...
**[19:00] ---**
Is it gonna happen again this year?
**[19:04] ---**
The rainy season was so short this year,
it feels like summer came early!
**[19:08] ---**
I'm glad it did. It would suck
to have it rain on Watanagashi.
**[19:14] ---**
Kei-*chan*?
**[19:15] ---**
Hey...
**[19:17] ---**
Can I ask you guys about Satoko's brother?
**[19:20] ---**
Oh, uh, Satoshi?
**[19:24] ---**
Yeah, about a year ago he, uh...
transferred to another school.
**[19:28] ---**
He transferred schools?
**[19:29] ---**
Does that have anything to do
with Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse?
**[19:42] ---**
Kei-*chan*, I promised to
lend you some manga, right?
**[19:47] ---**
Wanna swing by my place to pick them up?
**[19:48] ---**
Huh? You never said anything about--
**[19:54] ---**
O-Oh, right, I remember.
**[19:56] ---**
Okay, then I'm gonna head home.
**[19:59] ---**
See you tomorrow, Rena.
**[20:01] ---**
Yup, see you then.
**[20:06] ---**
Kei-*chan*, how much do you know
about Satoko's family?
**[20:10] ---**
Her parents died in an accident,
and her brother left Hinamizawa.
**[20:15] ---**
Satoko's parents were
proponents of the dam project.
**[20:20] ---**
Wait, I thought everyone in
Hinamizawa was against the dam.
**[20:26] ---**
The government was gonna pay people
to move out and let them build the dam.
**[20:30] ---**
Some people in the village weren't
against the dam project at all.
**[20:34] ---**
Satoko's parents were
the leaders of that pro-dam faction.
**[20:38] ---**
Unfortunately, her parents died on the day
of the festival to Oyashiro-*sama*.
**[20:45] ---**
So rumors went around that they died
because Oyashiro-*sama* cursed them.
**[20:51] ---**
People say Satoshi ran away
because of Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse, too.
**[20:55] ---**
We figure Satoko doesn't want
to hear about her parents dying,

**[21:14] ---**

**[21:19] ---**

**[21:31] ---**
...for now.
**[21:43] ---**

**[23:03] ---**
*Those precious words you said

**[23:13] ---**
*As if casting an ominous pity
upon everything*
**[23:22] ---**
*I shiver and despair over my own helplessness*
