**[00:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE<br>**[00:03] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Sodachi Oikura despises me.*<br>**[00:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*To the point that it's like<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I killed her parents or something.*<br>**[00:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*At the same time, I find it strange...*<br>**[00:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The fact is, I don't particularly<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;despise Sodachi Oikura at all.*<br>**[00:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Why she despises me so much.*<br>**[00:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*And why I can't bring myself to despise her.*<br>**[00:23] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I ended up finding out the answers.*<br>**[00:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It was a truth that unfolded two years<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from its onset.*<br>**[00:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*And at the same time, it was a truth<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;let's strike a dramatic pose and set up the question.*<br>**[00:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Prove that when Sodachi Oikura<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;despises Koyomi Araragi,*<br>**[00:42] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*that Koyomi Araragi cannot bring himself<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to despise Sodachi Oikura.*<br>**[00:46] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*However, Ougi Oshino can be<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;left out of any consideration.*<br>**[02:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>**[02:23] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE, PART ONE<br>**[02:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE<br>**[02:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;701 MIDDLE SCHOOL, A PUBLIC SCHOOL<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FRONT GATES<br>**[02:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So this is the middle school<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you attended, Araragi-senpai?<br>**[02:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now that you mention it,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an extraordinary presence can be felt here.<br>**[02:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's go, Araragi-senpai.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It was the shoe locker, right?<br>**[02:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah. The shoe locker.<br>**[02:49] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's such a strange coincidence.<br>**[02:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right after I hear the story about Oikura-senpai<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from you, Araragi-senpai...<br>**[02:58] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The next day, Araragi-senpai and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that very Oikura-senpai are reunited.<br>**[03:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's quite a strange twist of fate.<br>**[03:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;STRANGE TWIST OF FATE<br>**[03:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, I was surprised.<br>**[03:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As for me, I didn't even know<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;she was in the same class as me.<br>**[03:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;701 MIDDLE SCHOOL, A PUBLIC SCHOOL<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ENTRANCEWAY<br>**[03:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, so this is it?<br>**[03:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Araragi-senpai was changing shoes right here<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;everyday back in 7th grade.<br>**[03:27] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is very moving.<br>**[03:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's not moving at all...<br>**[03:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why would my changing shoes<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be so moving?<br>**[03:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My, oh my.<br>**[03:38] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So this is a letter addressed to you, Araragi-senpai?<br>**[03:41] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TO: KOYOMI ARARAGI IN 1-3<br>**[03:47] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE<br>**[03:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FLASHBACK<br>**[03:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL<br>**[03:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The recollected memory<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is still in the middle of chaos...*<br>**[03:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Therefore, the circumstances<br>

Thanks to you.<br>**[12:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Araragi decided to try to get into college<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;because you're taking care of him, I assume?<br>**[12:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, I suggest you stop<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;doing something so useless.<br>**[12:18] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's not going to appreciate anything,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no matter what you do.<br>**[12:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, I suppose you might be right.<br>**[12:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, well, something like that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;doesn't matter at all.<br>**[12:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not looking to get something<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in return for this, after all.<br>**[12:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fact that I want Araragi to attend<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the same university as I do is my desire to begin with.<br>**[12:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, I wouldn't be wishing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for anything more than that.<br>**[12:41] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SLAP<br>**[12:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Araragi, I'm going to pass out as well.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I trust you with the rest.<br>**[13:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE<br>**[13:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wait... Huh?<br>**[13:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is strange.<br>**[13:11] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That flashback didn't explain why I'm here<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at my middle school with you at all, you know?<br>**[13:16] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, brother.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What are you talking about, Araragi-senpai?<br>**[13:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When I visited you to do the laudable act<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of thanking you for yesterday's situation,<br>**[13:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you told me all about it.<br>**[13:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And yours truly, though unworthy,<br>**[13:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;audaciously suggested maybe it would be good<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for you to visit your alma mater.<br>**[13:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since I was the one that made the suggestion,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I couldn't let you go alone, either.<br>**[13:38] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Though I felt it was meddling in affairs a bit too much,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;here I am, tagging along on your research trip.<br>**[13:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Was that so?*<br>**[13:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ougi...

What do we have?<br>**[13:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THE "B" ENVELOPE IS THE WRONG ONE.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DO YOU WANT TO<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CHANGE YOUR CHOICE TO THE "C" ENVELOPE?<br>**[14:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Araragi-senpai, what's this supposed to mean?<br>**[14:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I really can't make anything of it.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it in code or something?<br>**[14:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather than a code,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's more like a quiz.<br>**[14:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What are you talking about?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You haven't even seen it.<br>**[14:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a very famous quiz,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;called the "Monty Hall problem."<br>**[14:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Monty Hall is the name<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of a TV show host.*<br>**[14:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There are three doors<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;labeled "A," "B," and "C,"*<br>**[14:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*and a luxurious prize is hidden<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;behind one of them.*<br>**[14:32] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The player is able to pick<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any door they like of the three.*<br>**[14:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*And after they choose,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the host opens one of the other two doors.*<br>**[14:41] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*By doing so, he informs the player<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that it was the "wrong" door.*<br>**[14:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*With that information, the player<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has a second chance to make a decision...*<br>**[14:49] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Whether to stick with the door originally chosen,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or to choose again and pick the remaining door.*<br>**[14:55] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's a simple summary of this quiz.*<br>**[15:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ougi, what would you do?<br>**[15:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You chose the "A" envelope just now, but...<br>**[15:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if you were now told that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the "B" envelope isn't the right one,<br>**[15:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would you change you choice to "C"?<br>**[15:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's see...<br>**[15:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Isn't it statistically equal<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whether or not I choose to change my choice?<br>**[15:16] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if the answer<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;was disclosed afterwards,<br>**[15:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if one of the three among "A," "B," and "C"<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is the right choice,<br>**[15:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the probability is 1/3 for each of them.<br>**[15:24] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The case where you were told "B" was wrong<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;before you made the first choice aside...<br>**[15:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed. But for this case,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"changing what you choose" is the correct answer.<br>**[15:34] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To change your answer from "A" to "C."<br>**[15:37] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, let's open the "C" envelope.<br>**[15:42] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My, oh my. Is this a map of sorts?<br>**[15:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There seems to be some symbol<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;drawn on it.<br>**[15:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Next, of course, we're heading to the location<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that this map shows.<br>**[15:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a trip retracing Araragi-senpai's memory.<br>**[15:55] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So as a tour group of people<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;following the footsteps of young Araragi...<br>**[15:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah... That's right.<br>**[16:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's go, Ougi.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the location marked on the map.<br>**[16:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wait... Huh?<br>**[16:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NADEKO SENGOKU<br>**[16:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SODACHI RIDDLE<br>**[16:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I DESPISE WATER THAT THINKS IT BOILED ITSELF ON ITS OWN.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I DESPISE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THE REASON FOR THEIR HAPPINESS.<br>**[16:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hmph.<br>**[16:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Did the ruins of the cram school I hear about,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the ones my uncle slept in while he was in this town,<br>**[16:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;feel anything like this, Araragi-senpai?<br>**[16:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah... That's right.<br>**[16:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AN UNGRATEFUL ONE LIVING SO CAREFREE.<br>**[16:46] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's rather rundown and dangerous.<br>**[16:49] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's not been maintained at all,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;worn down by the wind and stuff.<br>**[16:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In this ruined house, I had an appointment<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to meet with a certain girl...<br>**[16:58] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just can't comprehend this.<br>**[17:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, the fact that there are<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;signs a nameplate used to be here<br>**[17:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;means that this ruined house<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;used to be an ordinary residence?<br>**[17:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who knows... I don't really<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;know much about this area.<br>**[17:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Back around 7th grade,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I didn't really take note of such things.<br>**[17:14] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HOUSE FOR SALE<br>**[17:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the first place, this sign wasn't here<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;back when I was coming here regularly.<br>**[17:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's probably the case that the caretaker<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is different than from about five years ago...<br>**[17:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, let's hurry in, Araragi-senpai.<br>**[17:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hearing that sound just now,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the neighbors may report to the police.<br>**[17:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a police officer were to show up,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll give them the excuse that we got lost.<br>**[17:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So Araragi-senpai,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;please go along with that.<br>**[17:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's fine.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll make sure to play along with you.<br>**[17:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Though, it's a pretty embarrassing excuse<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for high school students to have lost their way.<br>**[17:55] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I don't want to find myself<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;out in the cold.<br>**[17:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Out in the cold?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you mean by that?<br>**[18:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, you see, in my case,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;both my parents are police officers, so—<br>**[18:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, both your parents are police officers!<br>**[18:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Huh? Why did I just say that?*<br>**[18:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then that means there's<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing for us to worry about.<br>**[18:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If someone files a report,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and an officer rushes over here on his bike,<br>**[18:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Araragi-senpai, your parents will bail us out.<br>**[18:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My parents aren't the type that would<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;help out their little boy in times like that.<br>**[18:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More like they'd never forgive injustice,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;even if their own children were the source.<br>**[18:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They're strict parents.<br>**[18:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When I misbehaved as a kid,<br>**[18:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they disciplined me<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;by dragging me to the local police box.<br>**[18:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the police box?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's pretty scary...<br>**[18:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You could be traumatized by that.<br>**[18:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The theory that Oikura-senpai<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;resents the kindness<br>**[18:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that you showed<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;during the class assembly two years ago.<br>**[18:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That can probably be disregarded now.<br>**[19:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why, you ask? It's simple.<br>**[19:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's because Oikura-senpai<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has come to school.<br>**[19:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you mean by that?<br>**[19:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hanekawa-senpai already mentioned it.<br>**[19:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That Ms. Tetsujo had taken maternity leave,<br>**[19:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and Oikura-senpai showed up at school<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as if she was swapping places.<br>**[19:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In other words, because Ms. Tetsujo<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is no longer at Naoetsu High,<br>**[19:23] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I believe Oikura-senpai<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is now able to come to school.<br>**[19:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, that means she had known<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who the culprit was back then.<br>**[19:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Which means,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;concerning the class assembly,*<br>**[19:37] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*there are connections to why<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;her personality turned out the way it did,*<br>**[19:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*but there's no direct link<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the reason why she despises me.*<br>**[19:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's what this means.*<br>**[19:47] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*In the first place,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if you say that she's despised me*<br>**[19:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*from the day that we first met<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the classroom for class 1-3*<br>**[19:53] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*she's always despised me.*<br>**[19:56] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I despise water that thinks<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it boiled itself on its own," huh?<br>**[20:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In other words,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you don't know your own roots.<br>**[20:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because you've forgotten your own roots,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oikura-senpai has serious issues with how you live.<br>**[20:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, as you investigate further,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's a strange story as well.<br>**[20:14] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's very common to find people<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who have forgotten about the past.<br>**[20:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even for me.<br>**[20:18] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most of who I was back in grade school or middle school<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is far beyond the boundaries of oblivion.<br>**[20:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It even feels like<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was actually born very recently.<br>**[20:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That you were actually born very recently?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is that the "Five-minute hypothesis"?<br>**[20:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But still, why does Oikura-senpai despise<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;only Araragi-senpai as if you killed her parents?<br>**[20:37] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is strange.<br>**[20:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is mysterious.<br>**[20:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is suspicious.<br>**[20:42] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is scary.<br>**[20:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scary...<br>**[20:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, scary. Because...<br>**[20:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's different.<br>**[20:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*True. When you think about<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;what's scary in this world...*<br>**[20:55] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Those that despise you<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for some incomprehensible reason*<br>**[20:58] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*and attack you are the scariest.*<br>**[21:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There's no way to deal with it,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;because you don't know the opponent's objective.*<br>**[21:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*In order to fight, they say you need to know<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;why does my tongue get so loose?*<br>**[22:14] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Even if it's something that I can fudge<br>
