[00:21] ---
    We should leave Hachikuji
    here to be the witness.
[00:24] ---
    We humans should step away for a bit.
[00:27] ---
    Yes, leave it to me!
[00:38] ---
    I have two pieces of bad news.
[00:41] ---
    I'll be brief.
[00:43] ---
    First, the last girls' basketball
    team member who's missing...
[00:48] ---
    Sowa Kiseki's belongings
    have been found.
[00:52] ---
    Just her belongings?
[00:54] ---
    Right. Not just her cellphone
    and school bag,
[00:58] ---
    but her school uniform, team uniform,
    and basketball shoes.
[01:02] ---
    It was found
    at the Naoetsu High gymnasium
[01:05] ---
    inside the girls' locker room.
[01:08] ---
    From a locker? Isn't it normal to find
    the school and team uniforms there?
[01:13] OS
    SCHOOL UNIFORM
[01:13] ---
    If it was school or team uniforms.
[01:14] OS
    OR
[01:14] OS
    TEAM UNIFORM
[01:16] ---
    When it's the school and team uniform,
    it's quite strange.
[01:17] ---
    AND
[01:20] ---
    Did Kiseki leave school naked
    when she went missing?
[01:24] OS
    LIVE - IN FRONT OF NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
    EXHIBITIONIST HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
    ON HER WAY HOME
[01:24] ---
    Even if she hadn't mummified,
    it would create a huge commotion.
[01:27] ---
    A huge commotion indeed.
[01:29] ---
    We can scratch the possibility
    of an extra school or team uniform.
[01:33] ---
    It's not as bad as this room,
    but everything was packed into one big mess.
[01:34] OS
    BEAUTIFUL BOY X DETECTIVE
    GLASSES X TEACHER
[01:37] ---
    It's like the things that were getting
    in the way were randomly shoved in.
[01:42] ---
    If Sowa Kiseki's mummy
    had been found first...
[01:45] ---
    If she had her belongings
    stripped down to this extent,
[01:47] OS
    SCHOOL UNIFORM
[01:49] ---
    it would've been pretty difficult
    to identify the individual.
[01:53] ---
    Which means, that equals the difficulty
    of the case being resolved.
[01:58] ---
    But it's strange.
[02:00] ---
    Why just Kiseki?
    Why such a shoddy cover-up?
[02:04] ---
    It's not shoddy. It's malicious.
[02:07] ---
    The cellphone had been
    turned off, of course.
[02:10] ---
    They were shoved in pretty roughly,
    but there was great care taken as well.
[02:14] ---
    Furthermore, the fact that
    a vampire had stepped into school
[02:18] ---
    is too dangerous for the girls'
    basketball team members.
[02:22] ---
    And, when I inferred the reason
    why only Kiseki got this cover-up,
[02:27] ---
    I end up at quite
    a horrible conclusion, Koyomin.
[02:30] ---
    This means the investigative intel, that we're
    identifying individuals from the mummy's belongings,
[02:36] ---
    has been disclosed to the perp.
[02:39] ---
    Oh.
[02:40] ---
    It's highly likely that our investigative intel
    is being leaked to the vampire side.
[02:47] ---
    It wasn't just bad news.
[02:49] ---
    It was the worst news.

[03:54] OS
    SHINOBUMONOGATARI EPISODE ONE
    SHINOBU MUSTARD, PART FIVE
[03:58] ---
    We took the DNA from
    the four mummies we found so far,
[04:02] ---
    and did a rudimentary analysis.
[04:04] ---
    I'll start with the conclusion.
[04:05] ---
    All four were mummies who had
    their blood sucked out by the same vampire.
[04:10] ---
    They were minions, if we're allowed
    to call them that, of the same vampire.
[04:15] ---
    The problem is that the vampire's genes
[04:17] ---
    were almost identical to Suicide-Master's genes
    that I obtained last night.
[04:24] ---
    So no matter what that young girl says,
    I'm forced to apprehend her.
[04:29] ---
    Let's say that Suicide-Master,
[04:33] ---
    an anorexic vampire,
    succumbed to hunger,
[04:36] ---
    and grabbed high school girls
    indiscriminately.
[04:40] ---
    If that vampire could turn
    the mummified girls back to normal,
[04:44] ---
    would that vampire be exempt
    from judgment in this case?
[04:49] ---
    Basically, Suicide-Master
    has been on a diet for 600 years.
[04:54] ---
    Once you break a fasting diet,
    you tend to rebound at great momentum.
[04:59] OS
    OVEREAT AND OVERDRINK
[05:00] ---
    You overeat and overdrink.
[05:01] OS
    DRINK LIKE A FISH AND EAT LIKE A HORSE
[05:01] ---
    You drink like a fish and eat like a horse.
[05:03] ---
    But...
[05:04] ---
    Don't rush things like that, Koyomin.
[05:07] ---
    I also have grounds to negate the possibility
    that the perp is Suicide-Master.
[05:11] ---
    An ancient vampire
    who has lived for 1,000 years,
[05:13] ---
    sneaking into a girls' locker room and secretly
    fiddling with one of the lockers. That's an absurd tale.
[05:18] ---
    Just how probable is that, exactly?
[05:21] ---
    It's exactly like as you say.
[05:23] ---
    The reason why Suicide-Master herself
    was mummified

[05:26] ---
    can't be explained
    with that theory, either.

[05:30] ---
    For now, we just have
    a much tenser situation.

[05:33] ---
    It doesn't change the fact that our only
    choice is to hear it from the horse's mouth.

[05:37] ---
    Hey.
[05:39] ---
    Suicide-Master wants to speak with you.
    Can you come meet her?
[05:53] ---
    I am the vampire of prepared death,
    inevitable death, and certain death,
[05:59] ---
    Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master.
[06:04] ---
    Come closer.
[06:05] ---
    N-Nice to meet you. I'm Koyomi Araragi.
[06:09] ---
    Um...
[06:11] ---
    Don't be so formal.
[06:14] ---
    I asked you to come here because
    I wanted to give you my thanks.
[06:17] ---
    Well, that's not all,
    but first and foremost, gratitude.
[06:23] ---
    G-Gratitude, you say?
[06:26] ---
    There are several reasons. First...
[06:29] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
    And you have revived me.
[06:34] ---
    And more than that,
[06:36] ---
    you have revived my once minion,
    Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
[06:40] ---
    For these reasons...
[06:45] ---
    I give you my thanks.
[06:48] ---
    Well, I basically told her everything.
[06:51] ---
    For now, she's denying the suspicion
    that she's the serial vampire.
[06:57] ---
    Though I said minion, I had Princess Acerola,
    rather Kiss-shot,
[07:01] ---
    branch out soon after,
    and she had gone independent.
[07:04] ---
    So it's rather tacky to come out
    pretending to be her guardian.
[07:07] ---
    But I heard the rumors that
    she was exterminated in this country,
[07:10] ---
    and I couldn't keep myself in retirement.
[07:12] ---
    I wanted to make sure she was all right.
[07:16] ---
    Though I hear it's not exactly "all right."
[07:18] ---
    But if she's alive,
    then that's already great fortune.
[07:21] ---
    In any case, I'm glad I got to see her.
[07:27] ---
    Thinking I was dead?
    I thought you were dead.
[07:30] ---
    And now that I've confirmed
    that Kiss-shot is all right,
[07:34] ---
    I'd like to hurry back to my hideout.
[07:37] ---
    But I hear something fishy's
    going on lately.
[07:40] ---
    So I'd like to seek some counsel.
    We're friends, right?
[07:43] ---
    Can you help me get out of this country?
[07:46] ---
    To be blunt, I'm happy
    that the Beautiful Princess
[07:49] ---
    had an interesting turn of events
    and somehow found the ideal prince.
[07:56] ---
    But, while I have the chance,
    I'd like to see just how well this prince performs.
[08:02] ---
    So can you help me out on this one?
[08:08] ---
    Shinobu's family is my family,
    so I'd be willing to, of course.
[08:12] ---
    But before that,
    there's something I want to clarify.
[08:16] ---
    There's something
    that needs to be clarified.
[08:19] ---
    Suicide-Master, how did you become a mummy,
    and why were you buried in the ground?
[08:25] ---
    I mean, an existence as great as you.
[08:30] ---
    I had nothing to do
    with burying myself in the ground.
[08:35] ---
    Someone buried me.
[08:37] ---
    Someone...
[08:38] ---
    As for the reason I was mummified?
[08:41] ---
    For that, I have a slightly simpler answer.
[08:44] ---
    Even after living a thousand years,
[08:47] ---
    that was the first time that I had died
    in such a fashion, as far as I can remember.
[08:52] ---
    Wh-What do you mean?
[08:54] ---
    The cause of death...
    What was the cause of death?
[08:57] OS
    CAUSE OF DEATH
[08:59] ---
    Food poisoning.
[09:01] ---
    F-Food poisoning?
[09:03] ---
    Yeah. I ate something strange.
[09:06] ---
    Let's see, in Japanese...
[09:08] ---
    You call those foodstuffs
    "high school girls," I think?
[09:16] ---
    That was... Right, a week ago?
[09:20] ---
    I came all the way to this town.
[09:23] ---
    I was intending on verifying the safety
[09:25] ---
    of the legend I had created, Kiss-shot
    Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
[09:31] ---
    But upon arrival, my own safety was in question.
    I truly found that hilarious.
[09:36] ---
    I failed the landing and was pulverized.
[09:40] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
[09:43] ---
    The barrier protecting this town...
[09:45] ---
    It's not that I was blown to smithereens
    because of that barrier, okay?
[09:50] ---
    It was self-destruction
    due to a failed landing.
[09:54] ---
    The barrier set up by that god over there
    isn't something that aggressive.
[09:59] ---
    It's a barrier of path obstruction
    that quietly gets you lost.
[10:03] ---
    The problem was that its wicked nature
    didn't work at all on me.
[10:09] ---
    That's right.
[10:09] ---
    I didn't enter this country by breaking through
    a strong barrier that had amazing power.
[10:15] ---
    Because I lacked such amazing power,
    I was able to enter this country with ease.
[10:21] ---
    I was shocked to find I've been weakened
    to this extent, if I may say.
[10:25] ---
    As I unscrupulously repeated death,
    I'd been cornered to a point
[10:30] ---
    where I couldn't even maintain
    the appearance of my complete form.
[10:35] ---
    It seems I have regressed
    to a younger form.
[10:39] ---
    If I were to go visit in this state,
[10:41] ---
    I wouldn't get to rekindle an old friendship.
    Instead, I would only make her worry.
[10:46] ---
    I had some pride as someone
    who has lived a thousand years.
[10:49] ---
    I had pride as the one who created her,
    and the one who named her.
[10:52] OS
    IN OTHER WORDS,
[10:53] ---
    In other words, I wanted to show off.
[10:53] OS
    I WANTED TO SHOW OFF.
[10:56] ---
    I didn't want a friend I was seeing for the first time
    in 600 years to be disappointed.
[11:00] ---
    I didn't want her to think,
    "She's changed."
[11:04] ---
    I didn't want her to think,
    "She's the same as ever" either.
[11:09] ---
    The only thought
    I wanted her to have was,
[11:11] ---
    "Now that's my old friend."
[11:14] ---
    I wanted her to think that.
[11:16] ---
    Even if I couldn't return
    to my complete form,
[11:18] ---
    I thought at least I should
    dress up superficially.
[11:21] ---
    That's why...
[11:24] ---
    I reached out for local foodstuffs.
[11:38] ---
    I descended from the mountain
    that a god dwells in,
[11:40] ---
    and set my eyes on a high school girl
    walking alone in the streets at night.
[11:45] ---
    To be frank, anyone would've been fine.
    That's why this is divine punishment.
[11:50] ---
    If I did something along the lines
    of picking and choosing,
[11:52] ---
    that foodstuffs would be considered
    equal to the Beautiful Princess.
[11:56] ---
    Well, in any case, in hindsight
    I lack the respect towards foodstuffs.
[12:01] ---
    This country has "Time to eat" and
    "Thanks for the meal" as table manners, right?
[12:06] ---
    I never really understood that.
[12:11] ---
    Appreciation for your foodstuffs?
    What's that? I don't get it.
[12:16] ---
    Eating, to begin with, is supposed to be
    an act that toys with lives in the best way.
[12:22] OS
    IT'S ENTERTAINMENT
[12:22] ---
    It's entertainment.
[12:24] ---
    However, that's why for me,
[12:27] ---
    eating wasn't to live.
[12:30] ---
    Eating was to love.
[12:34] ---
    I should have mouthed
    "Time to eat" at that moment.
[12:38] ---
    When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
[12:41] ---
    That's what I should have done.
[12:45] ---
    And yet, I lacked principle
    and bit into a high school girl.
[12:51] ---
    I incurred divine punishment.
[12:53] ---
    The result was food poisoning.
[12:55] ---
    I was struck by the poison
    from a high school girl.
[12:58] ---
    And it seems I have died yet again.
[13:09] ---
    What does this mean?
[13:12] ---
    According to that story, right after
    Suicide-Master preyed upon the girl,

[13:17] ---
    she withered and became bone dry
    like how we saw her.

[13:22] ---
    The victims are four,
    not five, high school girls.

[13:25] ---
    But if she had been mummified at the very
    beginning, the serialization is impossible.

[13:30] ---
    If we were going to base everything
    on mummification being a failed vampirization,
[13:35] ---
    the possibility of mummification from a failed
    bloodsucking should've also been considered.
[13:40] ---
    I knew about that,
    but such cases are so rare.
[13:43] ---
    I see. I understand
    how she became a mummy.

[13:47] ---
    Suicide-Master got food poisoning
[13:49] ---
    and mummification
    was an emergency anhydrobiosis.

[13:53] ---
    As for the mystery of who buried her
    into the mountain...

[13:56] ---
    That's completely unsolved.
[13:58] OS
    FAILED A VAMPIRIZATION
[13:58] ---
    Failed a vampirization,
    and a high school girl became a mummy.
[14:01] OS
    FAILED A BLOODSUCKING
[14:02] ---
    Failed a bloodsucking,
    and a vampire became a mummy.
[14:05] ---
    If there was one more pattern
    added to the fray...
[14:08] ---
    It would be a high school girl
    with a successful vampirization.
[14:11] OS
    A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
    WITH A SUCCESSFUL VAMPIRIZATION
[14:13] ---
    I finally understand the reason why the series
    of incidents were inconsistent and mismatching.
[14:19] ---
    There was more than one individual
    doing the bloodsucking.
[14:21] ---
    The vampire role
    swapped in the middle.
[14:24] ---
    S-Swapped?
[14:27] ---
    A gourmet vampire targeting a series
[14:29] ---
    of Japanese minors lacked etiquette
    to the point that it was extremely unnatural.

[14:35] ---
    But if it was a high school girl targeting
    a high school girl, that actually makes sense.

[14:40] OS
    NO.
[14:40] ---
    No.
[14:42] ---
    It's not a high school girl
    after a high school girl.

[14:44] ---
    It makes even more sense
[14:46] ---
    if a girls' basketball team player was
    targeting a girls' basketball team player.

[14:50] ---
    I can think of countless reasons for motive.
[14:50] OS
    PEER PRESSURE
    DRAGGING EACH OTHER DOWN
    SPARTAN
    MISUNDERSTANDING WITH FRIENDS
    ACADEMIC SKILLS DOWN
    DISCORD
    COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY
    STRESS
[14:53] ---
    I didn't notice that
[14:55] ---
    there was one girls' basketball team player
    who was not under surveillance

[14:58] ---
    until we arrived at this point.
[15:01] ---
    There's something seriously wrong with me.
[15:04] ---
    Sowa Kiseki.
[15:09] OS
    SOWA KISEKI
[15:09] ---
    Sowa Kiseki.
[15:11] OS
    SECOND YEAR, CLASS 7
[15:11] ---
    I believe she was a second-year.
[15:13] ---
    Let's say the investigation intel
    on our end was leaking.

[15:16] ---
    Kiseki found out that Ms. Gaen's team
    was looking for her mummy,

[15:20] OS
    KISEKI
[15:21] ---
    and stuffed her personal belongings
    in her locker to confuse the investigators.

[15:26] ---
    The two living messages Meniko
    deciphered for me, and the signature too.

[15:33] ---
    When Suicide-Master drank Kiseki's blood,
[15:36] ---
    she likely introduced herself
    as Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master.

[15:41] ---
    Which means, Kiseki had ascertained the name
    of the vampire who assaulted her.

[15:46] ---
    And, from how her mummy was buried
    in the mountains and thus hidden,

[15:51] ---
    she planned for her own activity as a vampire
    to be Suicide-Master's doing.

[15:56] ---
    Like how a human would,
[15:58] ---
    Kyoumi Kuchimoto, who left
    a dying message on the flash cards,

[16:02] ---
    didn't notice that the vampire
    who assaulted her was once her teammate,

[16:05] ---
    and might've fell for the fake
    to leave behind the message B777Q.

[16:12] ---
    Or perhaps the message itself was a fake
    that Kiseki set for the investigators.

[16:17] ---
    At the least, "F/C" was definitely as such.
[16:20] ---
    Kiseki found out that the girls' basketball
    team members were under suspicion,

[16:24] ---
    and wanted the investigator's eye
    to be looking at a completely different direction.

[16:28] ---
    And that was Suruga Kanbaru's fan club.
[16:31] ---
    In any case, when you think
[16:33] ---
    this is because she freshly turned
    into a vampire, the reason begins to make sense.

[16:37] ---
    Destroying evidence, fabricating an alibi.
[16:40] ---
    Concoction. Obfuscation.
[16:43] ---
    A vampire filled with the human touch.
    Committing a very human crime.

[16:47] ---
    By unwinding all the tangled parts,
    we see it was basically a problem with order.

[16:52] ---
    In other words, this is what happened.
[16:54] ---
    The order that the mummies

    This is the truth about the serial
    bloodsucking that had occurred

[17:15] ---
    from three nights ago to last night.
[17:18] ---
    Oh, I see.
[17:20] ---
    How clever.
    So many little thoughts you have.
[17:23] ---
    Both that high school girl and all of you.
[17:26] ---
    Furthermore, I see that Suicide-Master
    was not the serial vampire.

[17:32] ---
    But at the least, she was the root cause
    of it all according to her confession.

[17:36] ---
    She had been responsible
    for the very first bloodsucking.

[17:40] ---
    Kiseki, who was the victim in the very beginning,
    then turned to be the main perpetrator.

[17:44] OS
    SOWA KISEKI
    VICTIM
[17:45] ---
    The situation is that the victim
    switched over to become the perpetrator.

[17:46] OS
    SOWA KISEKI
    PERPETRATOR
[17:48] ---
    It's getting confusing
    trying to figure out who is bad here.
[17:53] ---
    Who do you think
    she'll go after next, Koyomin?
[17:56] ---
    U-Um...
[17:58] ---
    That would be, of course, the girls' basketball
    team members that she's had conflict with, yes?
[18:05] ---
    So, if we can get there before she does...
[18:08] ---
    Ms. Gaen!
[18:11] ---
    Oh, sheesh.
    Big Sister is going to curse me to death.
[18:11] OS
    CURSE
[18:17] ---
    Though, this is another arbitrary decision.
[18:20] ---
    Kiseki might not necessarily know the gathering
    of the Suruga Kanbaru and Seiu Higasa regime.
[18:20] OS
    THE CURRENT CLUB ACTIVITIES
[18:22] OS
    THE GOLDEN ERA WHICH
    COULD ALSO HAVE STARTED IT ALL
[18:24] OS
    FALLING PREY TO APPEARANCES
[18:25] OS
    MAIN DISH
[18:25] ---
    And even if she did, she may be limiting
    the targets to only the current team members.
[18:26] OS
    POSSIBILITY OF SURUGA KANBARU
    BEING THE NEXT TARGET
[18:29] OS
    STILL JUST A POSSIBILITY
[18:31] ---
    I'm slightly uneasy about leaving Hachikuji
    alone with Suicide-Master.
[18:36] ---
    Will it be all right?
[18:36] OS
    UNEASY
[18:38] ---
    That barrier I put up is close to a cage.
[18:41] ---
    We'll have a god and a devil
    enjoy a fun talk.
[18:45] ---
    But...
[18:46] ---
    We'll leave aside the fact that
    for a vampire, bloodsucking is not evil.
[18:51] ---
    For a vampire, creating a minion
    is not evil either, after all.
[18:56] ---
    And in this particular case,
[18:58] ---
    Kiseki is clearly using her vampirization
    to make personal, subjective moves.
[19:04] ---
    If it's acting as something positive for the victim
    in question, would that mean it's not evil?
[19:10] ---
    To add on top of that, Suicide-Master has failed both
    in bloodsucking Kiseki and in making her a minion.
[19:18] ---
    You could call it an attempt thereof.
[19:20] ---
    Attempt? I don't know about that.
[19:22] OS
    VAMPIRIZATION
[19:23] ---
    I thought she succeeded in vampirization?
[19:25] ---
    She failed at making her a minion.
[19:26] OS
    MAKING A MINION
[19:28] ---
    Would a faithful slave bury the mummy
    of her master in the mountains?
[19:32] ---
    She wouldn't.
[19:33] ---
    If we're going to believe the statement
    of Suicide-Master...
[19:37] ---
    It was nothing more than a source of nutrients
    to dress up for a reunion.
[19:41] ---
    How she turned the girl into a vampire
    unintentionally means that
[19:45] ---
    she did fail in the vampirization as well.
[19:47] ---
    It's all a failure.
[19:50] ---
    And that said, what we thought was a failure
    turned out to be a success.

[19:55] ---
    I can vaguely imagine that there
    might be room for the high school girls
[19:58] ---
    who became "mummies that failed vampirization"
    to revert to being human again.
[20:05] ---
    Even if Suicide-Master didn't plan for it to happen,
    the successful case of Kiseki...
[20:10] ---
    What do you think? Will she be able
    to return to being human?
[20:14] ---
    First off, it's about whether or not
    she has feelings of wanting to be turned back.
[20:19] ---
    A blonde, blue-eyed high school girl.
[20:22] ---
    She sure went delinquent.
[20:28] ---
    I think this is what she'd look like.
[20:32] ---
    I can't get close to Suruga, so I'll just
    borrow your car right now, Koyomin,
[20:36] ---
    and approach things from a different angle.
[20:39] ---
    I need you to infiltrate
    a pajama party of high school girls
[20:42] ---
    as a first-year college student
    with good sense.
[20:48] ---
    That sounds like it'll be
    a hard-core but cool mission.

[21:09] ---
    It's Araragi-senpai!
[21:10] ---
    No way. Araragi-senpai?
[21:11] ---
    You're right. It's Araragi-senpai!
[21:13] ---
    Araragi-senpai?
    You mean the Araragi-senpai?
[21:15] ---
    That's right, it's the Araragi-senpai!
    What other Araragi-senpai is out there!?
[21:20] ---
    Hanekawa-senpai's friend!
[21:22] ---
    Senjyogahara-senpai's boyfriend!
[21:24] ---
    Oikura-senpai's childhood friend!
[21:26] ---
    And above all, Kanbaru's master!
[21:29] ---
    The only delinquent student to graduate
    from Naoetsu High, Araragi-senpai!
[21:33] ---
    Araragi-senpai!
[21:34] ---
    Araragi-senpai!
[21:36] ---
    Araragi-senpai!
[21:37] ---
    Araragi! Come on, Araragi!
    What's up, Araragi!
[21:42] ---
    Kanbaru, don't be taking the lead.
[21:46] ---
    And what's with that pajama you're wearing?
[21:48] ---
    What's this, Araragi-senpai?
[21:50] ---
    To think someone like you
[21:53] OS
    ALWAYS (joji)
    LOVE AFFAIRS (joji)
[21:53] ---
    wouldn't know about the pajamas that always
    stay out of the way of love affairs, the negligee?
[21:57] ---
    I don't know any underclassmen like you.
    Nice to meet you.
[22:10] ---
    By the way, Araragi-senpai.
[22:12] ---
    You mentioned that there was something urgent
    that you had to talk to us about,
[22:17] ---
    so we made an exception for you
    to barge into this gathering of girls.
[22:21] ---
    But even you, Araragi-senpai,
    have to abide by our dress code.
[22:26] ---
    Dress code?
[22:28] ---
    Pajamas, of course.
    After all, this is a pajama party.
[22:32] ---
    All right.
[22:34] ---
    But I would feel bad about borrowing
    your father or brother's pajamas
[22:37] ---
    without properly introducing myself.
[22:40] ---
    Araragi-senpai, Higasa
    doesn't have a father or brother.
[22:43] ---
    Huh?
[22:43] OS
    HUH?
[22:46] ---
    And so, we only have women's pajamas
    right now in our household.
[22:52] ---
    But don't worry!
[22:53] ---
    As you can see, the girls' basketball team
    alumni group pride themselves on their height!
[22:59] ---
    Yeah, yeah. So what?
[23:02] ---
    So what, because you do?
[23:05] ---
    UNHAPPY?
    A troubled human child
[23:07] ---
    UNLUCKY?
    For the inhumane
[23:08] ---
    BE HAPPY!
    Aim timelessly
[23:10] ---
    Because you're alive
[23:12] ---
    A past that you looked away from too
[23:13] ---
    A boring future too
[23:15] ---
    Counseling
[23:16] ---
    Oh man
[23:17] ---
    All the times and places
    Peace, peace
[23:18] ---
    UNHAPPY?
[23:20] ---
    UNLUCKY?
[23:22] ---
    BE HAPPY!
[23:23] ---
    UNDEAD
[23:31] ---
    Cut in
    Somehow, for some reason
[23:33] ---
    In the mere future
[23:35] ---
    I have a feeling that...
[23:37] ---
    I can't have any hopes or expectations
[23:38] ---
    I've lived long enough
[23:40] ---
    I'm fed up with déjà vu
    and the run-of-the-mill
[23:42] ---
    There are no signs of wonderful occasions
[23:45] ---
    That's too bad
[23:46] ---
    It's the cause and effect
    of accumulated experiences
[23:47] ---
    Conventional myths and boring evolution
[23:49] ---
    In other words, I need stimulation
[23:50] ---
    I got tired of it
    I got used to it
[23:51] ---
    Just kidding
    Guidance that gets adjusted
[23:54] ---
    Compliance that increases
[23:55] ---
    They seem to be shoved under the rug
[23:57] ---
    I sucked it all
[23:59] ---
    That, this and all of it
[24:01] ---
    They all taste the same
[24:04] ---
    UNDEAD
[24:04] ---
    I'm not dead yet
[24:06] ---
    A chain of you and you
[24:08] ---
    To be alive is to keep changing
[24:11] ---
    Don't be satisfied
    With unhappiness
[24:15] ---
    You're a coward if you don't try to be happy
[24:19] ---
    This world and this world are
    A strange, strange fantasy
[24:22] ---
    Will a demon appear next or will a snake?
[24:25] ---
    The story finally begins after meeting
[24:28] ---
    Is it a human or monster?
[24:30] ---
    Returning to the subject at hand
    Peace, peace
