    KEEP OUT
[00:11] ---
    DANGER
[00:33] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
[00:38] ---
    You're ruining your beauty.
[00:42] ---
    Come on, crack a smile.
[00:49] ---
    You look the best with a smile.
[00:56] ---
    Hey, at least say,
    "Thanks for the meal."
[01:01] ---
    Huh?
[01:07] ---
    Um...
[01:22] ---
    In the blackest darkness

    APRIL 30TH
[02:42] ---
    No, but could it be?
[02:45] ---
    Although she's a mere shadow of her
    former self, a remnant, she's a proud vampire.

[02:52] ---
    There's no way...
[02:54] ---
    that she'd have her eyes
    more on the donuts.

[03:02] ---
    Don't ruin my dream!
[03:04] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[03:10] ---
    Oh yeah.

[03:38] ---
    NAPKIN
[03:38] ---
    PUT DOWN
[03:47] ---
    Paw.
[03:51] ---
    Well then...
[03:52] ---
    You can—
[04:02] ---
    But this is something
    I originally brought for Oshino.
[04:08] ---
    I feel the pressure.
[04:11] ---
    TIME PASSES
[04:11] ---
    Well, I feel like I'm being
    crushed more by the guilt.

[04:17] ---
    After all, the reason why this vampire girl
    is living like this is because of me.

[04:24] ---
    She hasn't spoken
    a word since spring break.

[04:27] ---
    She used to smile all the time,
    but now she only shows a sulking face.

[04:37] ---
    Considering what she's done
    and has been doing to humans,

[04:42] ---
    I know, as a human, I shouldn't
    sympathize with her, but still...

[04:47] ---
    I get it. I'll give them all to you.
[04:51] ---
    Now turn three times and say "woof!"
[05:01] ---
    I guess she still refuses to talk.
[05:07] ---
    You can—
[05:13] ---
    It's great!
    This round food is super good!
[05:16] ---
    It's totally a jewelry box
    filled with sweet rings!
[05:20] ---
    Did you just speak?
[05:24] ---
    Just a hallucination, huh?
[05:26] ---
    What are you doing, Araragi-kun?
[05:30] ---
    Araragi-kun, don't torment
    Little Miss Vampire.
[05:34] ---
    Those actions lead to consequences.
[05:36] ---
    I'm not.
[05:38] ---
    I've been thinking this since spring break,
    but has her mind become childish too?
[05:45] ---
    Yeah, we can't avoid that, Araragi-kun.
[05:49] ---
    This isn't limited to vampires.
    Apparitions are made of human belief.
[05:55] ---
    Human belief?
[05:57] ---
    Right. Humans believe they're there,
    so they exist. Those are apparitions.
[06:02] ---
    Apparitions appear and
    behave according to the environs.
[06:08] ---
    That's what they are.
[06:10] ---
    Now, about Little Miss Vampire.
[06:13] ---
    The only one acknowledging
    this vampire is you, Araragi-kun.
[06:18] ---
    Strictly speaking,
    Class Prez and I are too...
[06:22] ---
    ...but the one influencing
    her most is you, Araragi-kun.
[06:29] ---
    Well, it's true that I see her
    as an eight-year-old.
[06:35] ---
    But there's no way I could
    have expected this image.
[06:40] ---
    Children don't always
    grow up as parents expect, right?
[06:44] ---
    Even then, they're generally
    somehow influenced by their expectations.
[06:49] ---
    The parents' expectations?
[06:53] ---
    The influence of the family.
[06:56] ---
    I'm not meaning to preach
    for you to become an honest man, but...
[07:00] ---
    ...if you're fooling around too much,
    you can have a negative influence on her.
[07:05] ---
    In addition to...
[07:08] ---
    In addition to...
[07:12] ---
    "In addition to reducing that
    proud vampire to this innocent child,

[07:18] ---
    you're having a negative influence on her.
    What are you thinking?" That's what he'd say.

[07:22] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[07:23] ---
    That aside, Araragi-kun... It came up
    in the past, but how's Class Prez doing?
[07:30] ---
    "How"? She's fine.
[07:32] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:36] ---
    I see. You can't say.
[07:39] ---
    Then that means...
[07:42] ---
    It's valid to think something you
    can't speak of has happened to her, huh?
[07:47] ---
    That worries me.
[07:49] ---
    It's not for you to worry about.
[07:52] ---
    It's Hanekawa's problem.
    I can't meddle too much.
[07:55] ---
    Regardless, it's something
    she needs to get herself out of.
[08:00] ---
    That's the only way
    she can be saved, right?
[08:03] ---
    Then I won't pursue.
    Let's reverse my approach.
[08:08] ---
    Tell me things
    other than what you can't.
[08:11] ---
    It's not like you can't tell me
    every little thing about her, right?
[08:15] ---
    FLASHBACK
[08:16] ---
    I don't know if I
    explained it well or not, but...

[08:20] ---
    ...I told Oshino everything about
    today except what I was asked not to.

[08:24] ---
    ARARAGI TSUKIHI
[08:25] ---
    From when I was
    woken up by my little sister...

[08:27] ---
    HANEKAWA TSUBASA
[08:28] ---
    ...to when I saw Hanekawa...
[08:31] ---
    TIME PASSES
[08:31] ---
    And after that...
[08:46] ---
    WOULD YOU HELP ME
[08:47] ---
    END FLASHBACK
[08:48] ---
    Araragi-kun, by any chance...
[08:52] ---
    ...was that a silver cat with no tail?
[08:56] ---
    THAT'S WHAT HE SAID
[08:58] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[08:58] ---
    I COMMEND YOU FOR ENDURING THIS LONG.
[08:59] ---
    I THANK YOU.
[09:00] ---
    SO, HERE'S THE REAL ISSUE.
[09:06] ---
    The Sawari Neko.
[09:07] ---
    SAWARI NEKO (HARMFUL CAT)
[09:08] ---
    A carnivorous feline mammal.
[09:11] ---
    Information on the Sawari Neko apparition
    is one thing I'm collecting from this town.
[09:17] ---
    No, wait a second, Oshino. The cat
    Hanekawa and I buried wasn't an apparition.
[09:22] ---
    It wasn't like that. It was just there.
[09:24] ---
    Right. It's not like that.
[09:29] ---
    I think so too...
[09:31] ---
    under normal circumstances.
[09:33] ---
    But, Araragi-kun, Class Prez isn't normal.
[09:38] ---
    She's seriously dangerous.
[09:40] ---
    Even a trivial matter like
    burying a cat that's been hit by a car...
[09:45] ---
    Bluntly, even a heartwarming
    episode like this...
[09:49] ---
    ...could be a heaven-and-earth-shaking
    event in her hands.
[09:53] ---
    Not to mention
    a cat is bad news.
[09:56] ---
    To Class Prez, a Sawari Neko's dead on.
[10:01] ---
    Oshino, then what should I do?
[10:05] ---
    Well, Araragi-kun, we should split
    into two parties to expedite things.
[10:11] ---
    I'll go dig up
    the white cat you guys buried.
[10:15] ---
    So I need to tell you
    where we buried it, right?
[10:19] ---
    But in exchange, I'll have you
    take on a very important role.
[10:24] ---
    I said we'll split into two parties.
[10:28] ---
    I'll have you approach Class Prez directly.
[10:31] ---
    "D-Directly"?
[10:34] ---
    You'll go to Class Prez's house now.
[10:37] ---
    You'll actually meet up...
[10:39] ---
    ...and while looking at her face
    and into her eyes as you talk...
[10:44] ---
    ...you'll confirm that she's okay.
[10:50] ---
    LONELY ROLLER TACTIC
[10:53] ---
    Jeez, this has
    become a pretty big deal.
[10:57] ---
    And how'll I see Hanekawa
    at her house at this late hour?
[11:01] ---
    CHILD'S PRANK
[11:03] ---
    MINOR'S PRIVILEGE
[11:05] ---
    THREE
[11:06] ---
    TWO
[11:07] ---
    ONE
[11:21] ---
    Hanekawa?
[11:23] ---
    Um, but...
[11:26] ---
    Is that Hanekawa?
[11:40] ---
    Meow!
[11:44] ---
    Meow!
[11:47] ---
    Meow...
[11:50] ---
    H-Hanekawa?
[11:51] ---
    Huh, who are you?
    The mistress's friend or something?
[11:57] ---
    I think I kind of remember.
    You were with her when she buried me.
[12:03] ---
    Hmph, that's perfect then, meow.
[12:07] ---
    I don't understand it at all,
    but friends help each other out, meow?
[12:13] ---
    With that said,
    I'll leave these guys for you.
[12:23] ---
    RED SCENE
[12:30] ---
    Um, what was it again? Oh yeah.
[12:33] ---
    Those are my mistress's
    "parents" apparently.
[12:38] ---
    Though I don't
    understand too well, meow.
[12:42] ---
    Hey friend, dispose of them
    however you like. If you like...
[12:48] ---
    ...you can kill them.
[12:56] ---
    H-Hey!
[12:57] ---
    Wait, Hanekawa!
[13:02] ---
    Wait, huh?
[13:06] ---
    Don't expect anything and everything
    like that from my mistress, fool.
[13:11] ---
    It's because you guys are that way
    that my mistress is like this, meow!
[13:24] ---
    RED SCENE
[13:32] ---
    I-It hurts!
[13:36] ---
    Don't scream over something like this.
[13:40] ---
    Compared to the agony that
    my mistress has endured, this level of pain...
[13:46] ---
    ...is like being
    bitten by a mosquito.
[13:49] ---
    When you say mistress...
[13:52] ---
    ...do you mean Hanekawa?
[13:54] ---
    Yeah, that's right, human.
    My mistress has me now.
[13:59] ---
    So you're not needed anymore, meow.
    Parents, friends, no one...
[14:04] ---
    Even my mistress herself isn't needed.
[14:09] ---
    W-What do you mean?
[14:11] ---
    I'm going to set my mistress free.
    Freer than anyone else, meow.
[14:16] ---
    You know that, right?
    It's something you guys couldn't do.
[14:20] ---
    You guys only tie my mistress
    down and inconvenience her.
[14:24] ---
    RED SCENE
[14:25] ---
    RED SCENE
[14:26] ---
    First off, let's start with releasing her from the
    stress that's equivalent to the scale of this Earth!
[14:42] ---
    Hanekawa...
[14:44] ---
    HANEKAWA TSUBASA
[14:44] ---
    GIRL WHO POSSESSES
    WINGS OF HETEROMORPHY
[15:05] ---
    START UP
[15:06] ---
    After the Sawari Neko left,
    the first thing I did...

[15:08] ---
    110
[15:09] ---
    ...was clean up the mess left behind.
    First was calling the ambulance.

[15:14] ---
    Then, normally, to take care of blood
    splattered all over a residential area...

[15:21] ---
    ...you'd need lots of
    water and a deck brush.

[15:24] ---
    But my splattered blood
    had pretty much evaporated.

[15:29] ---
    I wasn't surprised to see
    my blood evaporating.

[15:32] ---
    It was a scene I saw
    many times during spring break.

[15:35] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[15:35] ---
    Rather, I should have been
[15:38] ---
    more suspicious as to why it took
    longer than usual to evaporate.

[15:45] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[15:46] ---
    BLACK SCENE
[16:07] ---
    Awake now, Araragi-kun?
[16:10] ---
    You're a pretty late sleeper.
    I got tired of waiting.
[16:13] ---
    The sun's gonna set soon.
[16:17] ---
    I slept for over 12 hours?
[16:19] ---
    I thought you were
    just gonna die like that.
[16:23] ---
    Hey, Oshino! Hanekawa's...
[16:26] ---
    Yeah, I know. I heard already.
[16:29] ---
    Class Prez transformed into a cat, right?
    Our worries struck home.
[16:34] ---
    Little Miss Vampire,
    you're good now.
[16:40] ---
    What does that mean, Oshino?
    Why was she awake at this hour anyway?
[16:46] ---
    No no, it's because your injury
    was worse than I thought.
[16:49] ---
    So I had Little Miss Vampire
    help me out a little. Look.
[16:54] ---
    You guys are connected
    more than necessary.
[16:58] ---
    Your power of recovery
    is linked too.
[17:01] ---
    Therefore, that skill will become
    stronger the closer you are.
[17:06] ---
    Thank her later.
[17:08] ---
    But that was definitely unexpected.
[17:11] ---
    It happened right after giving her some blood.
    I thought I had more resilience.
[17:16] ---
    No, with your power of immortality,
    you should be able to endure even severe injuries.
[17:22] ---
    You heal in seconds,
    except with fatal wounds.
[17:26] ---
    But in this situation...
[17:29] ---
    you faced a bad opponent.
[17:32] ---
    The compatibility more than the opponent.
    The Sawari Neko was a bad match.
[17:38] ---
    B-Bad match?
[17:40] ---
    You've been harmed by it.
[17:41] ---
    HARM
[17:42] ---
    The wound from the harm
    isn't just normal damage.
[17:45] ---
    TOUCH
[17:46] ---
    "Let sleeping cats lie," they say.
[17:48] ---
    Um, Araragi-kun, do you
    know what energy drain is?
[17:52] ---
    Energy drain?
[17:55] ---
    But isn't energy drain
    a vampire's special characteristic?
[18:00] ---
    Exactly. But that doesn't mean
    it's just a vampire specialty.
[18:05] ---
    So when my left arm was ripped off,
    so was my power of immortality.
[18:13] ---
    Once the Sawari Neko
    touches you, you're done for.
[18:17] ---
    That's why it's
    the "touching cat."
[18:19] ---
    But an energy drain that'll overpower
    a vampire's immortality is certainly a threat.
[18:25] ---
    Ah, no no. I shouldn't
    have worded it like that, Araragi-kun.
[18:31] ---
    When I said the compatibility
    was bad, I meant with you.
[18:36] ---
    It doesn't mean the Sawari Neko's
    ability rivals a vampire's.
[18:42] ---
    Vampires are the kings of apparitions.
[18:45] ---
    They're the king. The top.
[18:48] ---
    It's the same energy drain,
    but a different rank.
[18:51] ---
    Sawari Neko are small fry to vampires.
[18:54] ---
    Small fry...
[18:55] ---
    You just gave blood
    to Little Miss Vampire...
[18:58] ---
    ...so you were a vampire to a point,
    but just a human in the end.
[19:02] ---
    You can't beat apparitions themselves.
[19:05] ---
    Apparitions themselves...
[19:10] ---
    I carefully dug up the little cat's grave you told
    me about, but there was nothing buried there.
[19:17] ---
    The situation has
    turned for the worst.
[19:20] ---
    Is that so...
[19:25] ---
    Still, your wound's healing pretty well.
[19:28] ---
    Seems the inside isn't fully connected,
    but it'll heal by tomorrow at this rate.
[19:33] ---
    Little Miss Vampire is most likely
    already asleep, so thank her next time.
[19:38] ---
    Well, it'd be bad for
    you to die on her too...
[19:43] ---
    ...so it's natural for her
    to stay by your side for a day.
[19:46] ---
    Even so, I'm grateful.
[19:49] ---
    Using me as a source of nutrition
    means she's at least trying to live.
[19:57] ---
    Yeah, that's not
    what I meant, though.
[20:01] ---
    You blockhead...
[20:04] ---
    Well, whatever. Araragi-kun, go home
    before your family gets worried.
[20:10] ---
    Seems like your cell phone
    went off numerous times in your pocket.
[20:14] ---
    What's that feature called, vibrating?
[20:16] ---
    146 MISSED CALLS, 209 TEXT MESSAGES
[20:18] ---
    They're most likely
    all from Karen and Tsukihi.

[20:21] ---
    Unlike Class Prez,
    you have a family that worries.
[20:25] ---
    So you should go home now, Araragi-kun.
[20:28] ---
    Stop it, Oshino.
    This injury is nothing.
[20:32] ---
    I can't just dejectedly go home
    while Hanekawa's situation is like this.
[20:37] ---
    The situation's already unfolding.
    This is a job for a pro.
[20:42] ---
    This isn't for an amateur,
    let alone a minor.
[20:46] ---
    I look like I'm fooling around all the time,
    so I may not seem like it, but...
[20:51] ---
    ...I feel bad that I caused
    you to get such a severe injury.
[20:58] ---
    I failed as a balancer. I ignored
    the theory and went against policy.
[21:04] ---
    The damage you incurred
    is mainly due to my error.
[21:08] ---
    I feel like I should
    apologize to your folks.
[21:11] ---
    Araragi-kun, you've fulfilled
    your role enough at this point.
[21:15] ---
    Araragi Koyomi-kun, from here on,
    there's nothing you can do.
[21:20] ---
    You can't do anything for Class Prez.
    Even if you wanted to.
[21:24] ---
    It's not a matter of feeling.
    It's a matter of skill and ability.
[21:30] ---
    If anything, your most
    important role is to not get in my way.
[22:00] ---
    Even so, we may laugh sensibly
[22:00] ---
    Sore demo bokutachi wa shimeshi awaseta youni
[22:05] ---
    as if we planned in advance
[22:05] ---
    Monowakari yoku warau darou
[22:11] ---
    replacing our sighs with deep breaths,
[22:11] ---
    Tameiki wa sonomama shinkokyuu ni kaete
[22:16] ---
    without making excuse
    for any awkwardness
[22:16] ---
    Tsutanasa no iiwake mo sezu ni
[22:21] ---
    I will keep on waiting

    If I said it’s not too late,
    do I sound like I’m lying?

    It’s not that I want to be rewarded

    Time for a preview hallucination.
[23:16] ---
    There is a mechanism of the body
    called "feigning death."
[23:19] ---
    Not "fake death," but "imitation death"—
    that's how it's written in Japanese.
[23:22] ---
    In other words, "pretending to be dead."
[23:24] ---
    They say insects do that when
    they're in danger of being eaten.
[23:27] ---
    Basically, they "play dead" like
    humans do when they meet a bear.
[23:31] ---
    Wait, it doesn't work, does it?
[23:33] ---

    If you meet an apparition,
    pretend you're about to die.
