[00:01] ---
    There's no doubt.
[00:02] ---
    Eiji is the one who killed our mother.
[00:06] ---
    It's a... ghost.
[00:09] ---
    But how can that be?
[00:12] ---
    Why would he do that to our mother?
[00:15] ---
    That's what we need to find out.
[00:18] ---
    So we'll have to put the screws on Eiji.
[00:22] ---
    No, I have an idea.
[00:25] ---
    What is it?
[00:27] ---
    Leave it to me to interrogate Eiji.
[00:30] ---
    You focus on studying, okay?
[00:40] ---
    I'm going.
[00:41] ---
    -Off you go!
    -Bye bye, Hitori.
[00:44] ---
    Do good again today!
[00:47] ---
    Wait, Migi.
[00:49] ---
    I promise to
[00:51] ---
    bring back the truth about
    our mother's death.
[00:56] ---
    If I approach as a girl,
[00:58] ---
    even someone like Eiji
    will let his guard down.
[02:37] ---
    Hey, Eiji, what's your type?
[02:45] ---
    I can't really
    categorize women that easily.
[02:49] ---
    Come on now, Eiji.
[02:51] ---
    There must be something.
    Big breasts, maybe?
[02:54] ---
    A girl who shows
    the nape of her neck, or blondes?
[03:00] ---
    I'm bored with this.
[03:01] ---
    I am too occupied with my studies
[03:03] ---
    to view women in such a way.
[03:06] ---
    Th- That's true!
[03:07] ---
    Guys! Watch your mouth!
[03:10] ---
    Well, I'll go check the materials
    I'll be giving out in homeroom.
[03:15] ---
    Eiji is really...
[03:17] ---
    He's perfect.
[03:21] ---
    Damn it! Again!
[03:23] ---
    Who is she?
[03:26] ---
    Now... Stop thinking about it.
    Stay perfect as usual.
[03:29] ---
    Don't let anyone notice anything.
[03:32] ---
    Oh no, today's lunch turned into stew.
[03:39] ---
    Stinky stew.
[03:46] ---
    Who are you?
[03:47] ---
    Guess who?
[03:48] ---
    If you tell anyone about what you just saw
[03:51] ---
    you won't ever
    be able to walk the hallways
[03:53] ---
    without being called a criminal.
[03:56] ---
    I don't mind. I'll just run.
[04:02] ---
    What's with that girl!
[04:15] ---
    Wait!
[04:19] ---
    Ah!
[04:24] ---
    What do you want?
[04:27] ---
    Money?
[04:29] ---
    Huh, is that hush money?
[04:36] ---
    Listen, I want to see even more
[04:40] ---
    of your embarrassing sides.
[04:43] ---
    That's the only currency I'll take.
[04:46] ---
    What do you mean...
[04:54] ---
    Oh, that's embarrassing.
    This is you as a five-year-old?
[04:58] ---
    How is that embarrassing?
    It is a road that everybody takes.
[05:02] ---
    Ah, did you know?
[05:03] ---
    A five-year-old kid's intelligence is
    equivalent to that of a dog.
[05:07] ---
    Which means this Eiji is
    the same as an animal.
[05:10] ---
    I'm not an animal. Anyway...
[05:13] ---
    -What you saw yesterday is…
    -Oh, this is not enough.
[05:16] ---
    Show me more of your animal pictures.
[05:38] ---
    That was my favorite pajama.
[05:42] ---
    It's a pretty pajama.
[05:43] ---
    Why is one button missing on the 25th?
[05:48] ---
    I don't remember that day very well.
[05:51] ---
    I see...
[05:52] ---
    But considering I still
    believed in Santa back then,
[05:57] ---
    I'll admit I was practically an animal.
[05:59] ---
    How old were you
    when you stopped believing?
[06:06] ---
    Santa Claus never came to me.
[06:12] ---
    Show me pictures from when you were five.
[06:14] ---
    I have none.
[06:16] ---
    Hey... Don't misunderstand.
[06:20] ---
    This is just hush money.
[06:23] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[06:26] ---
    I've seen enough pictures.
[06:28] ---
    I want you to
    tell me more about your past next.
[06:32] ---
    But... How is that fair?
[06:35] ---
    I'm giving you so much information,
[06:38] ---
    but you won't even say your name.
[06:41] ---
    It's not fair...
[06:45] ---
    What even is 〝fair.〞
[06:52] ---
    Huh? A girl with sharp eyes and long hair?
[06:56] ---
    -That's me!
    -You're not, it's me!
[06:58] ---
    -Me!
    -It's me!
[07:01] ---
    I've sought
    all over the school, but no luck.
[07:04] ---
    Is she not a student here?
[07:10] ---
    Hitori. Your next class is
    in the science room, right?
[07:15] ---
    You should head there now.
[07:17] ---
    Yes, Ms. Kodama.
    We are going now.
[07:25] ---
    Tsk... Dali...
[07:27] ---
    〝Leave it to me to interrogate Eiji〞?
[07:30] ---
    He always takes the good bits.
[07:33] ---
    Huh?
[07:35] ---
    Hitori?
[07:38] ---
    Is that a bug?
[07:41] ---
    She's back!
[07:43] ---
    She is back! Sali's back!
[07:46] ---
    Hold on, Migi.
    What are you talking about?
[07:49] ---
    Look!
[07:51] ---
    I found this on the stairs at school.
[07:54] ---
    One of them belongs to Sali.
[07:56] ---
    For us to be together
    no matter where we are.
[08:00] ---
    Did I drop it? What a mistake...
[08:04] ---
    Listen well, Migi.
    Sali is not here.
[08:07] ---
    Because she moved to a distant town.
[08:10] ---
    But...
[08:11] ---
    Do you understand, Migi?
[08:18] ---
    Dali says she is not here.
    But I know she has to be
[08:21] ---
    somewhere in this school...
[08:25] ---
    What is this, Hitori?
[08:28] ---
    Missing?
[08:30] ---
    It's my goddess. Sali.
[08:33] ---
    Who's Sali?
[08:34] ---
    Go away! Don't follow me.
[08:41] ---
    This is Sali?
    His drawing skills are awful.
[08:45] ---
    At this rate, he probably won't catch me.
[08:49] ---
    HITORI SONOYAMA
[08:53] ---
    Why is no one reporting any seeings?
[08:56] ---
    Hey, Akiyama. What are you doing?
[08:58] ---
    I'm analyzing the patterns
    in your notebook doodles.
[09:02] ---
    You're doing it again.
[09:04] ---
    I enjoy creating montages of birds
[09:06] ---
    using parts of their fossils.
[09:09] ---
    Your art is too exquisite to
    be understood by common folk.
[09:13] ---
    But by looking at these doodles,
[09:15] ---
    I can tell there's a pattern to them.
[09:18] ---
    This one is me, and this one is Eiji...
[09:22] ---
    They're pretty different.
[09:25] ---
    And this is
    our homeroom teacher, Ms. Kodama.
[09:29] ---
    The way you
    drew her hair resembles Sali's.
[09:32] ---
    Our teacher has straight black hair,
[09:35] ---
    so Sali must have the same.
[09:38] ---
    The shape of her eyes is similar to yours.
[09:41] ---
    If I strip away the characteristics,
[09:44] ---
    and reconstruct them...
[09:49] ---
    MISSING PERSON
[09:57] ---
    Not bad.
[09:59] ---
    Eh? This cute girl is missing?
[10:02] ---
    Long black hair, cat-like eyes...
[10:05] ---
    Huh? These features...
[10:08] ---
    Isn't this the girl Eiji was looking for?
[10:20] ---
    -Don't follow me!
    -Ah, sorry.
[10:23] ---
    Don't get me wrong.
    It's not that you're in the way.
[10:29] ---
    It's just too dangerous.
[10:32] ---
    You're my important helper, after all.
[10:38] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[10:41] ---
    Huh? Oh, it's fine.
[10:45] ---
    Now, tell me about Christmas
    back when you were five years old.
[10:49] ---
    Huh? Ah. Right.
[10:52] ---
    Christmas when I was five...
[10:54] ---
    On that day, I was eyeing
    the turkey on the dining table...
[10:57] ---
    This is dreadful.
[11:00] ---
    I am currently
[11:01] ---
     harboring unnecessary
    feelings for this girl.
[11:06] ---
    Sali!
[11:07] ---
    Mi... Hitori! How...?
[11:11] ---
    Let's go, it's dangerous here.
[11:14] ---
    Wait, we're talking.
[11:18] ---
    Don't put those dirty hands on Sali.
[11:20] ---
    You're the one
    looking like an infectious rat.
[11:24] ---
    Sali, this guy is dangerous.
[11:26] ---
    Let's go back where we belong.
[11:29] ---
    Have you... and Hitori?
[11:38] ---
    I am dating Eiji.
[11:43] ---
    Huh?
[12:02] ---
    Come on in.
[12:04] ---
    Excuse me.
[12:06] ---
    Wow, what a lovely house.
[12:08] ---
    Where are your parents?
[12:10] ---
    Unfortunately, they are out today.
[12:13] ---
    Oh, so they're not here.
[12:16] ---
    Migi. Wait a little.
[12:19] ---
    I'll get Eiji's past out of him today.
[12:22] ---
    I'll put him under regressive hypnosis.
[12:27] ---
    I've practiced it over and over again...
[12:31] ---
    Your arms and legs gradually feel heavier.
[12:33] ---
    And your stomach
    feels heavier and heavier...
[12:38] ---
    Sali... I am Anoyama Hitori.
[12:46] ---
    The stage is set.
[12:48] ---
    First, to make it
    easier to hypnotize him,
[12:51] ---
    I have to make him lay down.
[12:54] ---
    Ugh, my Sali...
[12:57] ---
    It's going to be okay.
[12:59] ---
    There are as many girls
    as there are stars in the sky.
[13:02] ---
    There's only one Sali!
[13:04] ---
    Right now, Sali's...
[13:08] ---
    Eiji.
[13:09] ---
    Can I come to your house next Sunday?
[13:15] ---
    Hitori, in times like these...
[13:18] ---
    you just gotta drink and forget!
[13:22] ---
    As if I could forget her!
[13:24] ---
    For Hitori's broken heart,
[13:27] ---
    Cheers!
[13:28] ---
    Sali!
[13:35] ---
    Eiji, I'm getting sleepy.
[13:38] ---
    We've only been
    studying for fifteen minutes.
[13:41] ---
    I only invited you over because
    you said you wanted me to tutor you.
[13:46] ---
    How about we take a nap?
[13:49] ---
    A siesta?
[13:51] ---
    Well, a 10-minute nap
    might increase our efficiency.
[13:55] ---
    I'll show you to the guest room.
[13:58] ---
    Let's take a nap here, together.
[14:05] ---
    Are you a samurai, Eiji?
[14:07] ---
    I do not need a nap.
[14:10] ---
    I'll keep track of time instead.
[14:12] ---
    Pfh, he's a guardian of time?
[14:16] ---
    Hey, uhm, I...
[14:20] ---
    I can't sleep unless
    someone is sleeping next to me.
[14:24] ---
    Huh?
[14:26] ---
    I can't sleep.
[14:31] ---
    As if I can sleep!
[14:33] ---
    Is this the bed of a cult?
[14:36] ---
    Can you fit in one more?
[14:38] ---
    Don't add that one.
[14:40] ---
    I didn't want to have to resort to this...
[14:44] ---
    Eiji...
[14:49] ---
    Wha...?!
[14:50] ---
    Somehow, I'm...
[14:54] ---
    I'm feeling hot...
[14:57] ---
    That's impure!
[14:59] ---
    Indecent! Primal! Vulgar!
[15:03] ---
    And... I'm disappointed!
[15:07] ---
    We still haven't even
[15:09] ---
    entered into a contract as lovers.
[15:12] ---
    Contract? You mean, paperwork?
[15:15] ---
    No, it's not like that...
[15:20] ---
    A buss, I suppose.
[15:23] ---
    A buss? If we do that,
    will you lie next to me?
[15:27] ---
    I mean, it would make more sense then.
[15:30] ---
    Then, let's buss.
[15:33] ---
    C-can we?
[15:35] ---
    Yes.
[15:37] ---
    Buss or plus or cuss,
    I have no clue what it means.
[15:40] ---
    It's probably nothing speci--
[15:42] ---
    Huh?
[15:44] ---
    Does he mean...
    pressing our lips together?!
[15:47] ---
    No way, never, no. It's Eiji.
[15:52] ---
    No, this is wrong.
[15:53] ---
    Don't run away.
[15:56] ---
    It's all to reach the goal...
[15:59] ---
    But I really can't do this.
[16:02] ---
    I am dating Eiji.
[16:07] ---
    Migi...
[16:22] ---
    Migi, wait a little.
[16:24] ---
    I'll make sure to bring back the truth.
[16:34] ---
    Hitori, keep this between us,
[16:38] ---
    but your mom
    turned me down countless times.
[16:42] ---
    Mom was very popular, you know.
[16:44] ---
    But,
[16:46] ---
    I kept trying, and now we're together.
[16:51] ---
    Though I suspect
    she forgot all about that.
[16:56] ---
    Your arms and legs
[17:00] ---
    get heavier and heavier.
[17:03] ---
    What's that song?
[17:06] ---
    It's a lullaby from a distant country.
[17:08] ---
    Gradually, your stomach also
[17:12] ---
    gets heavier...
[17:16] ---
    Right, that was a fun Christmas dinner,
    wasn't it?
[17:21] ---
    And then?
[17:23] ---
    I brushed my teeth... one by one...
[17:26] ---
    Remembering the molars...
[17:29] ---
    Almost there... almost.
[17:33] ---
    Eiji killed our mother
[17:35] ---
    some time between
    Christmas Eve and Christmas...
[17:39] ---
    Eiji?
[17:41] ---
    II'll go to sleep now.
[17:43] ---
    If you're not a good boy...
[17:45] ---
    Santa Claus won't...
[17:50] ---
    He actually fell asleep?
[17:52] ---
    That's odd. If he slept
    at this point, then nothing...
[17:57] ---
    Migi? Why is he here?
[18:07] ---
    -Sali.
    -Hitori.
[18:09] ---
    I'm busy right now.
    Can you please leave?
[18:13] ---
    Um, I...
[18:16] ---
    I love you, Sali.
[18:19] ---
    I couldn't give up on you.
[18:22] ---
    Will you please take me back?
[18:26] ---
    Hitori, how many times do I have to--
[18:30] ---
    He woke up?!
[18:35] ---
    Eiji?
[18:36] ---
    Go away. You're not part of--
[18:46] ---
    Sali!
[18:47] ---
    The pendant! The dolphin pendant!
[18:50] ---
    Idiot!
[18:55] ---
    That's not what's important right now!
[19:06] ---
    -What's his problem?
    -It wasn't...
[19:09] ---
    -Are you trying to kill him?
    -It wasn't...
[19:11] ---
    It wasn't... like that...
[19:16] ---
    Huh?
[19:17] ---
    It wasn't a ghost...
[19:20] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:21] ---
    This sensation, there's no mistaking it.
[19:25] ---
    How could I have believed it all along?
[19:29] ---
    Calm down. What happened?
[19:32] ---
    It happened at night,
    that Christmas when I was five.
[19:43] ---
    Santa Claus?
[20:23] ---
    Mom! Quickly, over here!
[20:29] ---
    -She's not there.
    -She was there!
[20:32] ---
    Eiji, in all of Origon Village
[20:34] ---
    there are no women with long blonde hair.
[20:38] ---
    You saw a ghost.
[20:41] ---
    Got it? It was a ghost.
[20:44] ---
    A ghost...
[20:46] ---
    I'm scared. Will you sleep with me?
[20:49] ---
    Yes.
[21:13] ---
    Migi. Migi! I figured it out.
[21:17] ---
    This is how Eiji took...
[21:21] ---
    our mother away from us.
[21:24] ---
    I have gathered the evidence, now's the time.
[21:29] ---
    Migi, it's time to get revenge.
[23:03] ---
    Migi, it's time to get revenge.
[23:09] ---
    Migi?
[23:12] ---
    I finished interrogating him,
    Eiji did it--
[23:24] ---
    I will never forgive you.
