[01:01] ---
    neglect!
[01:07] ---
    About the five members
    who are currently missing...
[01:12] ---
    Is there something in common
    among these five?
[01:16] ---
    They don't have anything in common.
[01:19] ---
    I don't think they've been
    in a game together, either.
[01:24] ---
    So it's hard to round the five of them
    together as a team.

[01:27] ---
    Then, what if it was just four?
[01:29] ---
    A common point for four of them?
[01:32] ---
    Cellphone?
[01:34] ---
    Oh no. Perhaps that means, maybe...
[01:40] ---
    It's not about finding
    a common point among the five.

[01:42] ---
    It's not assuming that they're allies.
[01:44] OS
    Q5: FIND ONE THAT IS DIFFERENT
    FROM THE OTHERS
[01:45] ---
    What if this was a Japanese class problem where
    you find the odd one out of the five listed?

[01:51] ---
    Errata. Spot the difference.
[01:53] ---
    Or, something like a college student participating
    in a high school girls' pajama party like this.

[01:59] ---
    Out of place. The difference.
[01:59] OS
    Q5: FIND ONE THAT IS DIFFERENT
    FROM THE OTHERS
[02:03] ---
    Oh, I see. That's what it means.
[02:06] OS
    "LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT."
[02:06] ---
    I remembered the favor I asked
    of Kanbaru,

[02:08] OS
    "A CELL PHONE, HUH?"
[02:09] ---
    and the conversation I had
    with Meniko.

[02:10] OS
    THOSE WHO GAZE INTO THE ABYSS
    ARE BEING GAZED BACK BY THE ABYSS AS WELL.
[02:12] ---
    So that's how our investigation intel
    got leaked out.

[02:16] ---
    If that's the case,
    the place where I need to be

[02:19] ---
    isn't here.

    SHINOBU MUSTARD, PART SIX
[03:36] ---
    Hey there.
[03:38] ---
    Not over there. Over here.
[03:41] ---
    Been a while, high school girl.
[03:44] ---
    Looks like you're doing well,
    which puts me in good spirits.
[03:51] ---
    And you seem to be doing well, too.
[03:55] ---
    I thought I gave you a proper burial?
[03:58] ---
    Yeah.
[03:59] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
[04:02] ---
    It's because I ingested your blood.
    No, your poison.
[04:07] ---
    Don't make it sound like it's my fault.
[04:10] ---
    You died on your own, didn't you?
[04:13] ---
    I merely buried you.
[04:16] ---
    Not just buried me.
[04:18] ---
    Of all things, you then used my name
    to do whatever you please.
[04:25] ---
    Even though it was to throw
    the investigation off,
[04:27] ---
    I do feel bad about
    using your name without asking.
[04:31] ---
    But back when I buried you in that mountain,
    I didn't bury you with any particular ill will.
[04:38] ---
    So why did you bury me
    on that particular mountain, then?
[04:43] ---
    If I'm going to bury you,
[04:44] ---
    I thought it would be repose for your soul
    if you were buried close to the shrine.
[04:48] ---
    By the way, I had the one who found my corpse
    step away for a bit.
[04:53] ---
    So do you have something
    to talk to me about, Suicide-Master?
[05:00] ---
    The hardcore, cool bloodline of mine has been
    walking around for a dumb reason like revenge.
[05:07] ---
    Is that what you wanted? Is that why
    you wanted to become a vampire?
[05:12] ---
    Is that why you wanted me to eat you?
[05:16] ---
    Yeah. I didn't tell the people chasing you
    about that part yet.
[05:21] ---
    I have no intention of covering for you.
[05:23] ---
    I said that I sucked your blood because
    I wanted to show off to an old friend.
[05:30] ---
    In any case...
[05:31] ---
    I was simply asking for directions,
[05:34] ---
    but you suddenly groveled and pleaded
    with me, "Please make me a vampire."
[05:39] ---
    I didn't tell them about that.
[05:43] ---
    It was unexpected
    that I turned into a mummy instead.
[05:47] ---
    There are things that are unexpected,
    even if you live for a thousand years.
[05:51] ---
    So is someone like me uncommon?
[05:55] ---
    An idiot who requests to become a vampire
    by their own will.
[05:58] ---
    Not really. There was one 600 years ago.
[06:04] ---
    I was reminded of that, and maybe
    that's why I was getting a bit sentimental?
[06:08] OS
    WOUND
[06:10] ---
    Sentimental?
[06:12] ---
    The former minion of the previously
[06:16] ---
    Heart-under-blade seems to be thinking
    and brooding over the meal issue.
[06:21] ---
    But if you ask me,
    the main focal point is missing.
[06:25] ---
    He's only seeing eating and being eaten
    as assaulter and victim.
[06:31] ---
    His assumptions are leaving out the case
    where the eaten are wishing to be eaten.
[06:39] ---
    An animal that wishes
    to be eaten by their own will.
[06:42] OS
    I'M THE ONLY ONE.
[06:43] ---
    I can't think there'd be such a being.
[06:45] ---
    Not possible.
[06:46] OS
    WE ARE THE ONLY ONES.
[06:47] ---
    Even if there were such beings,
    a creature who's volunteering to be eaten?
[06:52] ---
    I'm telling you, there was a creature like that.
    A human of that nature 600 years ago.
[06:59] ---
    A princess who wished so.
[07:02] ---
    She tried to become a vampire
    with a sublime idea
[07:04] ---
    that a hardcore, cool person
    like myself could not understand.
[07:09] ---
    And unlike you, it was most productive.
[07:13] ---
    Nowadays, she's forgotten all about
    her sublime idea, and she's lost everything.
[07:18] ---
    I guess she managed to accomplish it all.
[07:23] ---
    That makes me feel relieved
    from the bottom of my gut.
[07:26] ---
    But what about you?
[07:27] ---
    You used your immense power
    to greedily devour humans.
[07:30] ---
    Do you feel accomplished now?
[07:34] ---
    I don't have
    a sense of accomplishment at all.
[07:36] ---
    It's more like I feel a void.
    Revenge is simply fruitless.
[07:39] OS
    EMPTY, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY GUT
[07:41] OS
    PARCHED, LIKE I WAS MUMMIFIED
[07:42] OS
    EVEN THEN, I CAN'T AFFORD TO STOP.
[07:45] OS
    THAT'S RIGHT.
[07:46] OS
    I HAVEN'T ACCOMPLISHED IT TO BEGIN WITH.
[07:48] OS
    AND FOR THAT PURPOSE—
[07:49] OS
    SHE CAME HERE, DODGING COUNTLESS EYES.
[07:51] ---
    Right. In that aspect,
    it was a letdown.
[07:54] ---
    A disappointment.
[07:56] ---
    I thought vampires
    were something better.
[08:02] ---
    In the first place, isn't it the pits that
    you're weak against the sun?
[08:06] ---
    Right. It's not something
    tremendously great.
[08:10] ---
    I get captured like this
    as if it's time to pay the piper.
[08:15] ---
    Don't get me too disappointed.
[08:17] ---
    This is where I want you to appeal to me
    about all the good things of being a vampire.
[08:23] ---
    What you're feeling
    is not disappointment but despair.
[08:27] ---
    And I have a good deal
    for such a desperate being like you.
[08:30] ---
    There's nothing good about vampires,
    but I got something good for you.
[08:35] ---
    Something good? A beautified story?
[08:38] ---
    Vampires don't get beautified stories.
[08:41] ---
    If anything, this is a business deal.
[08:44] ---
    Let me hear it.
[08:46] ---
    This tasty deal or whatever.
[08:50] ---
    You can eat me.
[08:55] ---
    If you wish to return to being human,
[08:59] ---
    if you gulp down my blood, the blood
    of the one who sucked your blood,
[09:02] ---
    you can still return to being human.
[09:06] ---
    Did I even mention anything
    about wanting to return to being human?
[09:11] ---
    I did say this wasn't a good thing to be,
[09:13] ---
    but I also didn't say that
    it was a terrible thing to be.
[09:16] ---
    You said it was the worst.
[09:19] ---
    It was a play on words.
[09:20] ---
    Don't try finding faults in my Japanese.
[09:22] ---
    I don't recall saying that
    humans were the best, either.
[09:26] ---
    Or that high school girls were the best.
[09:29] ---
    If you think that way,
[09:31] ---
    then not only should you drink my blood,
    but you should chow down and eat all of me.
[09:35] ---
    Crunch down to the flesh and bones.
[09:38] ---
    That way, the incomplete vampire that you are
    will become a master-slaying vampire,
[09:44] ---
    and gain more power
    than you currently possess.
[09:48] ---
    In either case, it's not a loss for you.
[09:50] ---
    If you want to return to being human,
    you can return to being human.
[09:53] ---
    If you want to become a more powerful,
    more fearsome vampire,
[09:57] ---
    you can become a more powerful,
    more fearsome vampire.
[10:03] ---
    Now, what will it be?
[10:08] ---
    What's in it for you for this good deal?
[10:11] ---
    For this tasty story,
    this business deal...
[10:16] ---
    The vampire of prepared death,
    inevitable death, and certain death...
[10:21] ---
    is going to die for someone like me?
[10:24] ---
    Of course not. The basics of a business deal
    is to serve both ends.
[10:31] ---
    Even if you don't drink or eat me,
    I'm going to die anyway.
[10:36] ---
    I'm going to starve to death.
    I'll die from anorexia.
[10:41] ---
    Isn't that terribly uncool?
[10:43] ---
    That's why I would like you to kill me.
[10:47] ---
    This time for sure, I want you to kill me.
    I want you to kill me properly.
[10:52] ---
    Is that a suicidal wish?
[10:55] ---
    The cause of death for 80 or 90 percent
    of vampires is suicide, right?
[11:01] ---
    Right. They all commit suicide.
[11:04] ---
    That's why I want you to kill me
    before I feel like committing suicide.
[11:10] ---
    So you want me to aid and abet your suicide...
    No, you're wishing for euthanasia?
[11:15] ---
    A death with dignity.
[11:17] ---
    That is the death
    fit for a proud one such as myself.
[11:20] ---
    A revered, merciless death.
[11:26] ---
    Why is it me?
    Why did you choose me?
[11:31] ---
    You're the one who needs to choose.
[11:33] ---
    I phrased it like two choices,
    but you don't have to suck nor eat.
[11:38] ---
    Even if I've been weakened, there are only
    a limited number of beings who can kill me.
[11:43] ---
    I am in no particular hurry.
[11:46] ---
    I'm not hurrying to my death.
[11:48] ---
    I just no longer have anymore regrets.
[11:53] ---
    Because an old friend
[11:54] ---
    is thoughtlessly and lightheartedly having fun,
    and I witnessed it with my own eyes.
[12:00] ---
    There is nothing I regret anymore.
[12:03] ---
    All right. I'll kill you.
    And then we'll call it even.
[12:08] ---
    I, someone who has killed herself...
[12:10] ---
    I, myself, will kill you.
[12:12] ---
    Please die filled with pride.
[12:14] ---
    Please die a revered, merciless death.
[12:16] ---
    Thanks so much.
    It was worth pleading with you.
[12:22] ---
    Oh, right.
[12:24] ---
    Can you tell me your name?
[12:26] ---
    I'd like to know the name of the vampire
    who will be killing my great self.
[12:33] ---
    Of course I can.
[12:35] ---
    My name, the name of the one
    who will kill you, is...
[12:38] ---
    Kie Harimaze.
[12:43] OS
    KIE HARIMAZE
[12:43] ---
    Kie Harimaze.
[12:46] ---
    Not Sowa Kiseki.
[12:48] ---
    It's Harimaze, who was
    believed to be the first victim.

[12:53] ---
    It was a body swap.
[12:55] ---
    The mummified humans were bone dry,
[12:58] ---
    and their features and appearances
    were consistent.

[13:01] ---
    You can go so far as to say that
    every mummy is unable to be identified.

[13:04] ---
    And yet, how we determined that mummy
    as Harimaze was from her belongings.

[13:05] OS
    "KIE HARIMAZE IS THE NAME OF THAT MUMMY."
[13:09] OS
    "ON HER WAY HOME AFTER TEAM PRACTICE,
    SHE HAPPENED TO ENCOUNTER ONE."
[13:12] ---
    Conversely, if you put your uniform
    on the mummy,

[13:15] ---
    gave it your bag, and have it
    hold onto your phone,

[13:20] ---
    wouldn't you be able to make people believe
    that the mummy was you?

[13:21] OS
    KIE HARIMAZE
[13:24] ---
    However...
[13:25] ---
    if we're going to be fair,
    which mummy will get swapped out?

[13:29] ---
    Every mummy had an equal opportunity.
[13:32] ---
    What becomes the key point here is the code
    that Meniko deciphered for me.

[13:37] ---
    It was a diversionary tactic that knew
    about Ms. Gaen and the investigators.

[13:42] ---
    Which means, at that point, the internal goings-on
    of the investigation had already been leaked.

[13:42] OS
    APPARITION SPECIALIST
[13:47] ---
    How did the serial vampire ascertain
    Ms. Gaen and her group's existence?

[13:51] OS
    "CAN I ASK YOU FOR HELP
    WITH CODE DECRYPTION AGAIN?"
[13:52] ---
    I came upon that method after my conversation
    with Meniko, which gave me a hint.

[13:53] OS
    "HMM, HMM, HMM?
    A CELLPHONE, HUH?"
[13:55] OS
    "SO, THIS IS THE CODE THAT WAS RECORDED
    ON A CELLPHONE?"
[13:57] ---
    We talked about how the cellphone
    was a part of your brain now.

[13:57] OS
    "NOWADAYS, A CELLPHONE
    IS LIKE A PART OF YOUR BRAIN."
[14:00] ---
    If you took that cellphone along with
    the uniform and the school bag,

[14:04] ---
    and dressed up the mummy
    that the perp created...

[14:07] ---
    Which means...
[14:09] ---
    You can also attach eyes, ears, and the brain
    onto the mummy, so to say?

[14:15] ---
    If anything, it's like a surveillance camera
    and a wire tap.

[14:18] ---
    Even if the phone is locked,
    it keeps operating in the background.

[14:22] ---
    There are tons of apps that do that.
[14:24] ---
    And this is where it gets important.
[14:27] ---
    This is impossible unless you had already set up
    the app at the point of finding the first mummy.

[14:32] ---
    You had to set it up in the cellphone
    of the suspected

[14:32] OS
    3 DAYS AGO - 2 DAYS AGO - 1 DAY AGO - TODAY
[14:34] ---
    Kie Harimaze mummy in order for that mummy
    to become believable that it was her.

[14:38] ---
    If you didn't, you couldn't leave a code
    with Kyoumi Kuchimoto's mummy,

[14:40] ---
    as she was the second one attacked.
[14:41] OS
    KIE HARIMAZE
[14:43] OS
    MUMMY OF SOMEONE
[14:44] ---
    And of further importance, cellphones must be
    recharged periodically or the battery will run out.

[14:51] ---
    Which means, the facts that I chose
    the Kanbaru residence to revive Suicide-Master,

[14:52] ---
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
[14:54] OS
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
    AND LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
[14:54] OS
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
    AND LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
    GOT IT.
[14:56] OS
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
    AND LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
    GOT IT.
    HERE'S THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE.
[14:57] ---
    and that I had Kanbaru step outside for precisely
    that reason, are facts the perp is unaware of.

[14:57] OS
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
    AND LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
    GOT IT.
    HERE'S THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE.
    YOU CAN USE ANYTHING AS YOU WISH.
[14:59] OS
    KANBARU. I'M SORRY,
    BUT CAN YOU BE MY SLAVE FOR A BIT?
    AND LEND ME YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
    GOT IT.
    HERE'S THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE.
    YOU CAN USE ANYTHING AS YOU WISH.
    I DECIDED TO HOLD A PAJAMA PARTY
    AT HIGASA'S HOUSE TONIGHT.
[15:03] ---
    She wouldn't target the alumni
    gathering at Higasa's house.

[15:07] ---
    She would quite naturally
    target the Kanbaru house.

[15:14] ---
    A pervert?
[15:16] ---
    No. You must be Araragi-senpai.
[15:22] OS
    KIE HARIMAZE—
    AND THEN A PERVERT.
[15:22] OS
    ONE WHO PERVERSED
    FROM HUMAN TO DEVIL.
[15:29] ---
    Nice to meet you, Araragi-senpai.
[15:32] ---
    This is the first time we're chatting like this,
    but I've heard much rumors about you.
[15:37] ---
    So are you saving people
    like you always do?
[15:41] ---
    Though, there are no humans
    at all here.
[15:44] OS
    INCLUDING YOU.
[15:46] OS
    DO YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITIES
    TO STOP ME?
[15:49] ---
    You know, Harimaze.
[15:51] ---
    Just like how you understand my circumstances,
    I understand yours just a little bit.
[15:58] ---
    But even then,
    this is going a bit too far.
[16:01] ---
    It's not that I'm going too far.
    It's just that I've quit too much.
[16:07] ---
    Just because I couldn't quit the team,
[16:10] ---
    doesn't mean that I had to give up on living.
[16:17] ---
    We can still make it in time.
[16:18] ---
    Let's revert all the people you assaulted,
    and revert yourself as well.
[16:25] ---
    Leave me alone.
[16:28] ---
    And who knows about the others?
[16:31] ---
    Do they want to become human again?
[16:35] ---
    Maybe things are easier for them
    in their current state.
[16:42] ---
    Maybe what I did
    wasn't assaulting, but saving?
[16:46] ---
    Nonsense.
[16:48] ---
    What are you talking about?
[16:50] ---
    They're completely dried up.
    You can't even tell if they're alive or dead.
[16:56] ---
    If you can't tell if you're alive or dead,
    isn't that how every high school student is?
[17:02] ---
    How you're completely parched
    on the inside.
[17:05] ---
    Did you forget those feelings
    once you became a college student?
[17:10] ---
    Do you think we're being bubbly
    and enjoying adolescence?
[17:14] ---
    Do we look like high school girls
    with no worries whatsoever, Araragi-senpai?
[17:21] ---
    The blueness of adolescence
    is deeper than you think.
[17:25] ---
    It's a dark blue,
    similar to the darkness.
[17:30] ---
    As a self in winter who has
    long since forgotten adolescence,
[17:33] ---
    this debate makes me feel awkward.
[17:36] ---
    Isn't a banter of this nature
    what you call adolescence? Hilarious.
[17:40] ---
    You didn't make up your mind fast enough,
    so this is how things end up.
[17:47] ---
    It's eat, or be eaten.
[17:49] ---
    Do you want to eat,
    or do you want to be eaten?
[17:52] ---
    Or...
[17:53] ---
    do you want to eat your master,
    or do you want to eat the protagonist?
[17:57] ---
    Right.
[17:59] ---
    Rich or scant,
    I'm sick of adolescence already.
[18:04] ---
    I have chosen the red darkness.
[18:07] ---
    I was in the wrong.
[18:10] ---
    So, let me make even more mistakes.
[18:14] ---
    I am Kie Harimaze!
[18:17] ---
    Born on April 14th, age 16.
    Height, 170 cm. Position, reserve.
[18:24] ---
    My favorite play is a fake!
[18:27] ---
    This time for sure,
    I will eat the protagonist!
[18:46] ---
    It's been a while, Araragi.
[18:49] ---
    Thanks a bunch for stalling for time.
[18:52] ---
    Those pigtails look good on you, yeah?
[18:55] ---
    This is going too far, Ms. Kagenui.
[18:58] ---
    Didn't I teach you before, Araragi?
[19:02] ---
    There is no such thing as going too far
    against an immortal apparition.
[19:06] ---
    Isn't that right, Suicide-Master?
[19:09] ---
    No. Even from the eyes of a monster like me,
    you go way too far, Kagenui.
[19:15] ---
    That thing isn't a vampire that you need
    to personally deal with. It's a fledgling.
[19:21] ---
    She's not a vampire that's worth
    dealing with for me? A fledgling?
[19:25] ---
    That describes your current self
    more than her, no?
[19:29] ---
    Back then, it was like
    you were the young girl.
[19:34] ---
    Things really don't go well.
[19:36] ---
    It's true that my current self
    is a far cry from one of your targets.
[19:41] ---
    Seems so.
[19:42] ---
    I literally flew down here from
    the North Pole, but what a bunch of trouble.
[19:47] ---
    It looks like I have to let you guys
    off the hook for today.
[19:50] ---
    How lucky.
[19:53] ---
    Though I can't tell who was luckier
    between you and me.
[19:58] ---
    It seems I have lived yet again.
[20:01] ---
    Shut up.
[20:03] ---
    Anyway, Araragi.
[20:06] ---
    Who is this?
[20:13] ---
    So, what happened
    to the high school girl after that?
[20:18] ---
    What was her name... Harimaya?
[20:23] ---
    Who in the world is Harimaya?
[20:26] ---
    If you're talking about Harimaze,
[20:28] ---
    I'd totally thought that she was
    going to be slaughtered by Ms. Kagenui.
[20:32] ---
    But I was told she had to grant
    a special pardon so that the four girls
[20:36] ---
    sent to the hospital
    could be reverted to normal.
[20:38] ---
    I guess it was more adult circumstances
    than juvenile law that was applied here.
[20:43] ---
    If we didn't revert that girl to a human,
    the other four will stay mummies forever.
[20:51] ---
    Oh?
[20:52] ---
    But if you became a vampire, didn't you have
    to kill your "parent" to return to being human?
[20:58] ---
    Back during the spring break
    where I was the concerned party,
[21:01] ---
    that definitely was the case.
[21:03] ---
    But steady progress has been made
    on that end, too.
[21:07] ---
    What happened to the naked young girl?
[21:10] ---
    Suicide-Master ultimately got exiled.
    They settled for deportation.
[21:17] ---
    Their farewell was rather simple.
[21:21] ---
    I guess the vampiric feelings, or rather
    vampiric time, isn't something I understand well.
[21:28] ---
    But it's likely not the final farewell
    of this lifetime,
[21:31] ---
    so I'm sure we'll see her again.
[21:37] ---
    Why are you quiet?
    Do you know something?

[21:41] ---
    Come to think, I felt like Shinobu knew something
    but was keeping it a secret from me.

[21:46] ---
    But what she'd been hiding was apparent
    in a comment she made after the fact.
[21:51] OS
    A QUESTION FROM A YEAR AND A HALF AGO
[21:53] ---
    It was a belated reply to my question of,
    "What are humans to you?"

[22:01] ---
    Monsters, right?
[22:03] ---
    Koyomin.
[22:05] ---
    In the end, did the oral promise
    with Ms. Gaen take place?
[22:09] ---
    I believe that was
    the starting point in the first place.
[22:13] ---
    I think it had taken effect for now.
[22:16] ---
    Lies, deception, fakes...
[22:20] ---
    If a human's human side
    is going to get involved like this,
[22:24] ---
    the establishment of a Rumor Division
    is imperative after all.
[22:28] ---
    I guess that time has come.
[22:31] ---
    Well, you can say the same for Harimaze,
    but the fact that it's allowed is ultimately...
[22:36] ---
    because I'm still very much a child.
[22:47] ---
    Oh my goodness. The time
    for my next lecture is approaching.
[22:50] ---
    Well then, see you again
    in the near future.
[22:54] ---
    If I have anything I want from you,
    I'll contact you.
[22:56] ---
    Isn't that the template for when
    you're not going to contact me?
[23:00] ---
    Oh?
[23:01] ---
    You've got something cute there.
[23:04] ---
    So Koyomin, are you now a member
    of the girls' basketball team?
[23:09] ---
    Well, I'm already past
    the point of no return.
[23:12] ---
    With Kanbaru and Higasa's assistance,
[23:14] ---
    I'll gladly help out with the plan
    to do something about the present situation.
[23:24] ---
    Isn't that exactly
    where you're still a child, Araragi?
[23:35] ---
    Ms. Kagenui, you don't ever hesitate?
[23:39] ---
    What she had done was an unforgivable crime,
    whether it be for human law or for devil law.

[23:45] ---
    But still, I couldn't help but think
    of Kie Harimaze's circumstances.

[23:50] ---
    I do think about it, and I do hesitate.
[23:53] ---
    I don't hesitate because I'm an adult.
[23:58] ---
    That unique reply, which I can't think of as
    the representative for the majority opinion,

[24:03] ---
    was serene and lacked all hesitation.
[24:05] ---
    So I get it.
[24:07] ---
    If that's what it means to be an adult,
    I'm nothing more than a child.

[24:11] ---
    I am a child younger than a young girl.
[24:14] ---
    Just like the vampires
    who were put on probation...

[24:18] ---
    Even if I become immortal,
    even if I go to Hell,

[24:22] ---
    even if I graduate from high school,
    and even if I become a college student,
[24:27] ---
    Koyomi Araragi is, to this day,
    in the middle of a moratorium.

[24:35] ---
    UNHAPPY?
    A troubled human child
[24:37] ---
    UNLUCKY?
    For the inhumane
[24:38] ---
    BE HAPPY!
    Aim timelessly
[24:40] ---
    Because you're alive
[24:42] ---
    A past that you looked away from too
[24:43] ---
    A boring future too
[24:45] ---
    Counseling
[24:46] ---
    Oh man
[24:47] ---
    All the times and places
    Peace, peace
[24:48] ---
    UNHAPPY?
[24:50] ---
    UNLUCKY?
[24:52] ---
    BE HAPPY!
[24:53] ---
    UNDEAD
[25:01] ---
    Cut in
    Somehow, for some reason
[25:03] ---
    In the mere future
[25:05] ---
    I have a feeling that...
[25:07] ---
    I can't have any hopes or expectations
[25:08] ---
    I've lived long enough
[25:10] ---
    I'm fed up with déjà vu
    and the run-of-the-mill
[25:12] ---
    There are no signs of wonderful occasions
[25:15] ---
    That's too bad
[25:16] ---
    It's the cause and effect
    of accumulated experiences
[25:17] ---
    Conventional myths and boring evolution
[25:19] ---
    In other words, I need stimulation
[25:20] ---
    I got tired of it
    I got used to it
[25:21] ---
    Just kidding
    Guidance that gets adjusted
[25:24] ---
    Compliance that increases
[25:25] ---
    They seem to be shoved under the rug
[25:27] ---
    I sucked it all
[25:29] ---
    That, this and all of it
[25:31] ---
    They all taste the same
[25:34] ---
    UNDEAD
[25:34] ---
    I'm not dead yet
[25:36] ---
    A chain of you and you
[25:38] ---
    To be alive is to keep changing
[25:41] ---
    Don't be satisfied
    With unhappiness
[25:45] ---
    You're a coward if you don't try to be happy
[25:49] ---
    This world and this world are
    A strange, strange fantasy
[25:52] ---
    Will a demon appear next or will a snake?
[25:55] ---
    The story finally begins after meeting
[25:58] ---
    Is it a human or monster?
[26:00] ---
    Returning to the subject at hand
    Peace, peace
