[00:14] Girl A
    I heard they're only having
    one person compete in the long jump.
[00:16] Girl B
    What? Then it's gotta be Rena-senpai.
[00:17] Girl A
    She's been practicing every morning lately.
[00:19] Girl C
    No, it could be Yuki. Have you
    seen her recent numbers?
[00:22] Girl A
    But she's still a first-year.
[00:23] (Flashback) Students
    Let's go.
[00:25] (Flashback) Advisor
    Gather round, track team!
[00:31] (Flashback) Advisor
    We've chosen our lineup, so take a look.
[00:34] (Flashback) Advisor
    This next meet will be the third-years' last.
[00:37] (Flashback) Advisor
    Even if you're not competing, make sure
    you cheer on the rest of the team.
[00:40] (Flashback) Students
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:50] (Flashback) Kanon
    What? Why? We're both
    signed up for the relay.
[00:54] (Flashback) Kanon
    Are we supposed to start
    practicing our baton pass now?

     Year 2 Year 1 Mitsuya Yuki
[00:57] Kanon
    But I'm not a team player.
[01:00] Kanon
    Wait, are all the third-years signed up?
[01:10] Kanon
    What's wrong, Rena?
[01:14] (Flashback) Rena
    I can't accept it.
[01:16] (Flashback) Kanon
    Didn't you talk to the teacher?
[01:20] (Flashback) Rena
    She said I was disrupting the team's harmony.
[01:23] (Flashback) Kanon
    Wow, that's awful.
[01:25] (Flashback) Kanon
    All you're doing is focusing on your own
    training since we have a meet coming up.
[01:29] (Flashback) Rena
    She refused to listen
    to anything I had to say.
[01:34] (Flashback) Rena
    I have to do well.
[01:37] (Flashback) Kanon
    You mean for college?
[01:39] (Flashback) Kanon
    Exemptions from school fees can be huge.
[01:44] (Flashback) Kanon
    Why don't you try talking to Yuki?
[01:46] (Flashback) Rena
    Yuki's training hard, too.
    I couldn't say that to her.
[01:58] President
    I know. I know. Yes. Yes.

[02:02] Employee A
    Countless times. Yes.
[02:03] President
    O-One moment, please! Yes.
[02:06] President
    Hello? Yes. Yes. Yes.
[02:09] Employee B
    I'm sorry. Seems like
    we've got a poor signal.
[02:11] President
    Oh, give me a break. Are you done?
[02:12] Employee B
    Can you hear me? Huh? Hello? Hello?
[02:13] President
    Okay, bye. Bye. Yes. Yes.
[02:16] President
    I'm sorry. Yes. Yes. Thank you.
[02:17] Employee B
    Do we have a poor signal?
[02:21] Yamamoto
    Good afternoon, everyone.
[02:24] Yamamoto
    Here you go. Here. Here.
[02:27] Nikaido
    What is this?
[02:29] Yamamoto
    I put together a concert set list.
[02:31] Nikaido
    You can't expect us to sing
    under these circumstances.
[02:34] Nikaido
    Why aren't you stopping this?
[02:35] Yamamoto
    Please. Tickets are selling like crazy.
[02:40] Nikaido
    But...
[02:45] Yamamoto
    Could you two leave us for a second?
[02:56] Ichimura
    This can't be good.
[02:59] Ichimura
    I finally learned the
    choreography and song, too.
[03:01] Ichimura
    They said we'd only be wearing masks
    until Mitsuya-san came back, anyway.
[03:07] Wadagaki
    I've been thinking, why don't we
    start over at another agency?
[03:13] Ichimura
    I don't want anything to do
    with this stuff anymore.
[03:16] Wadagaki
    I know. Let's talk downstairs.
[03:20] Wadagaki
    Those girls we met the other day...
[03:22] Nikaido
    I trusted you then.
[03:27] Nikaido
    I knew it. That's why you
    couldn't call the police.
[03:34] Yamamoto
    Who else is there?
[03:37] Nikaido
    How would I know?
[03:39] Yamamoto
    You're the one who said it.
[03:42] Nikaido
    What are you talking about?
[03:45] Nikaido
    Maybe I said I wish they were dead,
    but that was just a slip of the tongue.
[03:53] Nikaido
    I really didn't do it!
[03:54] Yamamoto
    I know that. You have no reason
    to lie to me, Nikaido.
[04:01] Nikaido
    Could you stop looking at me like that?
    Like you know everything about me.
[04:06] Nikaido
    Why did you show up then, anyway?
[04:11] Yamamoto
    Mitsuya called me.
[04:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Hello?
[04:20] Mitsuya
    Oh, hello.
[04:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Why are you calling so late?
[04:23] Mitsuya
    Nikaido-san asked me to come to the office.
[04:28] Mitsuya
    I'm scared.
[04:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Nikaido did?
[04:33] Mitsuya
    Yeah. I hope I'm just overthinking it.
[04:37] Mitsuya
    Could you come, too, Yamamoto-san?
[04:42] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Where are you now?
[04:44] Mitsuya
    I'm on my way there in a taxi.
    I'll be there in about 20 minutes.
[04:50] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Fine. I'll be right there.
[04:57] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Huh? Why are you sitting in the dark?
[05:04] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Don't scare me like that, Nikaido.
[05:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What?
[05:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What is it? What's wrong?
[05:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Huh? Mitsuya?
[05:23] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What is this?
[05:26] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What did you...
[05:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Wait, wait, wait! How could you do this now?!
[05:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    We're screwed if people find out about this.
[05:41] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Let me think for a second.
[05:49] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Okay, we're good. We're all good.
[05:54] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I know someone who will do anything
    for the right price. No, wait...
[05:59] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Did anyone see you come here?
    Did you take the train?
[06:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Damn it! I shouldn't have taken a taxi.
[06:08] (Flashback) Nikaido
    I walked.
[06:14] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    We need to hire a professional.
[06:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    It's okay.
[06:48] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Yano-san, what should we do?
[06:51] (Flashback) Yano
    Don't give up, man.
[06:56] (Flashback) Yano
    I seriously can't with this.
[07:00] (Flashback) Yano
    Looks like she was bludgeoned
    by a pissed off Nikaido,
[07:10] (Flashback) Yano
    then strangled by Yamamoto.
[07:15] (Flashback) Yano
    "Never murder no matter how fat
    the stacks" is the boss' roots.
[07:20] (Flashback) Yano
    Now it's my rule.
[07:22] (Flashback) Yano
    But you played fast and loose,
    now you went and screwed the pooch.
[07:28] (Flashback) Yano
    To me, that's how it looks.
[07:31] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Hey, you. Spread that tarp over there.
[07:37] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Come on.
[07:40] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    We're gonna move her. Hurry up.
[07:43] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Okay.
[07:51] (Flashback) Yano
    Hey.
[08:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Hurry, hurry.
[08:22] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Um, where are we going?
[08:24] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Out to sea, then towards Kawasaki.
[08:26] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Land routes are too dangerous.
[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamato
    What? We're going to toss her into the sea?
[08:30] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    She'd come floating back
    up right away, idiot.
[08:35] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    We're gonna melt her.
[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Wouldn't that construction site
    be a better place to hide her?
[08:41] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    That's our last resort.
[08:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Last resort?
[08:47] (Flashback) Yano
    No one ever resorts to using a last resort.
[08:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    That land belongs to the group, idiot.
[08:55] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    We're doing this without
    the higher ups' knowledge.
[08:56] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    We're screwed if they find out.
[09:05] (Flashback) Yano
    Hurry up or the sun will come up.
[09:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Push that side. We'll dump her.
[09:35] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Let's dump her.
[09:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Are you okay?
[09:44] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Unbelievable. Yano-san,
    could you handle the engine?
[09:48] (Flashback) Yano
    What?
[09:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    Hey!
[09:59] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
    You idiots! What are you doing?!
[10:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Hey, Nikaido, um...
[11:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Hello.
[11:31] (Flashback) Girl
    What? Yuki?
[11:32] (Flashback) Girl
    Yuki! Are you okay?!
[11:34] (Flashback) Boy
    Hey! Are you okay?
[11:35] (Flashback) Girl
    Someone get a teacher!
[11:35] (Flashback) Boy
    Got it!
[11:36] (Flashback) Girl
    Yuki? What's wrong?
[11:38] (Flashback) Girl
    It's Yuki!
[11:39] (Flashback) Students
    This is bad.
[11:40] (Flashback) Students
    Are you okay? Yuki? Yuki?
[11:42] (Flashback) Students
    Are you okay? Yuki!
[12:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Yes?
[12:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    You came to see me?
[12:12] (Flashback) Kanon
    Yeah.
[12:14] (Flashback) Student A
    Yuki-chan, we're gonna go.
[12:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Okay.
[12:16] (Flashback) Student B
    We'll visit again before you move.
[12:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Thanks. Bye. Thanks.
[12:18] (Flashback) Student
    See you later.
[12:19] (Flashback) Student
    Bye.
[12:20] (Flashback) Student
    Take care.
[12:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's good to see you again.
[12:24] (Flashback) Kanon
    Good to see you.
[12:28] (Flashback) Student A
    I'm amazed she showed her face here.
[12:30] (Flashback) Student B
    Right? Talk about shameless.
[12:33] (Flashback) Kanon
    Yuki, you're moving?
[12:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Yeah. I'm transferring schools.
[12:38] (Flashback) Rena
    What?
[12:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's not your fault, Rena-san.
[12:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I was always planning to move in
    with my father who lives in Tokyo.
[12:48] (Flashback) Kanon
    I see. So, how are you doing?
[12:53] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    A lot better. See?
[13:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Rena-san, I heard you were suspended.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm sorry that happened because of me.
[13:11] (Flashback) Rena
    No, uh...
[13:14] (Flashback) Kanon
    Tokyo, huh? Lucky. I'd love to go hang out.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Kanon-san, you're thinking
    of Harajuku, aren't you?
[13:20] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    My father's house is in Nerima.
[13:22] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's not that different from here.
[13:24] (Flashback) Kanon
    No way! When are you moving?
[13:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    As soon as I'm out of the hospital.
[13:30] (Flashback) Kanon
    I see.
[13:34] (Flashback) Kanon
    Hey, Rena. Yuki said she wanted to see you.
[13:40] (Flashback) Rena
    What?
[13:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I thought we'd regret not seeing
    each other before we parted ways.
[13:48] (Flashback) Kanon
    Right?
[13:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I still like you, Rena-san, so...
[13:56] (Flashback) Kanon
    Wait, what about me?
[13:58] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Kanon-san, you'll forget
    about me before long.
[14:02] (Flashback) Kanon
    How could you? You know that's not true.
[14:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Let's hang out in Tokyo
    together sometime, okay?
[14:08] (Flashback) Kanon
    Agreed!
[14:12] (Flashback) Kanon
    Right, Rena?
[14:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh, right. That keychain.
[14:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Thank you. I'll treasure it.
[14:36] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's so cute.
[14:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Rena-san? I hope you're not crying.
[14:44] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It'll make it harder to see you again.
[14:48] Donraku
    Thank you.
[14:53] Donraku
    Thank you.
[14:55] Kumiko
    Rena-chan, thank you so much
    for coming today.
[15:00] Kumiko
    We were just going to invite family, but
    we wanted to make an exception for you.
[15:05] Kumiko
    I'm sure Yuki is happy, too.
[15:08] Donraku
    Thank you for all that you've done.
[15:12] Rena
    I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to help.
[15:16] Kumiko
    That's not true at all. You kept
    searching for her until the end.
[15:21] Rena
    Are you two all right?
[15:27] Donraku
    Yeah.
[15:30] Donraku
    I'm relieved Yuki finally came back to us.
[15:36] Rena
    Right.
[15:38] Kumiko
    Rena-chan, you can come talk
    to us anytime you're hurting.
[15:45] Rena
    Um, I did a terrible thing to Yuki-san.
[15:57] Kumiko
    What do you mean?
[16:02] Rena
    I'm the one who injured her
    on the stairs in high school.
[16:17] Donraku
    That's in the past.
[16:22] Rena
    I liked Yuki.
[16:26] Rena
    She was so brilliant, it frustrated me.
[16:33] Rena
    I still don't understand what
    I did then or why I did it.
[16:48] Rena
    It eats away at me so much
    I don't know what to do.
[16:53] Rena
    I'm sorry.
[17:14] Yamamoto
    Yes! I hope you'll come!
[17:17] Yamamoto
    I'll pick you up. Okay, thank you!
[17:26] Nakamine
    Excuse me.
[17:29] Nakamine
    Yamamoto-san.
[17:36] Nakamine
    Um, Nikaido-san.
[17:40] Nakamine
    You know why we're here, don't you?
[17:42] Fujiki
    You're under arrest for the murder
    of Mitsuya Yuki on December 24th
[17:45] Fujiki
    and abandoning her body.
[17:52] Ichimura
    What? Wait, what do you mean?
[17:54] Caster
    On the 30th, police arrested Mystery Kiss
    member and suspect Nikaido Rui
[18:00] Caster
    who was voluntarily undergoing
    questioning for the murder
[18:04] Caster
    of fellow group member Mitsuya
    Yuki-san and abandoning her body.
[18:10] Caster

[18:32] Sato
    I'd like to try disguising myself.
[18:33] Ibusuki
    Sure, do it. What?
[18:36] Rena
    Hello.
[18:37] Sato
    Hello. Feels like it's been a while, huh?
[18:42] Ibusuki
    You should've let me know you were coming.
[18:44] Rena
    Sorry. The Yuki stuff has calmed down
    for now, so I came to tidy up.
[18:52] Ibusuki
    What about the future? Have you
    already decided what you're going to do?
[18:56] Rena
    Not really.
[19:00] Ibusuki
    Don't be so secretive.
[19:04] Rena
    I've been learning on the job
    for a while now,
[19:06] Rena
    so I figured I'd do some
    classroom learning for a while.
[19:09] Sato
    What classroom learning?
[19:11] Otani
    You're going to college?
[19:12] Rena
    I'll start by getting my
    secondary school certificate.
[19:16] Rena
    Then I'll study the law properly.
[19:19] Otani
    What about an online program?
[19:22] Otani
    Then you can keep working while you study.
[19:25] Otani
    That's what my second cousin's
    husband's sister's friend did,
[19:29] Otani
    and she makes tons of money now.
[19:33] Otani
    Why don't you do that while
    you come back to work for us?
[19:37] Otani
    Finding a new investigator would be
    a lot of work. Right, boss?
[19:41] Sato
    What are you talking about? We've got me.
[19:43] Otani
    Who, you? Where?
[19:44] Caster
    According to their investigation,
[19:44] Sato
    Hey! I'm already right here, aren't I?
[19:45] Caster
    police found signs that Mitsuya-san
    was struck on the head with a blunt object
[19:46] Ibusuki
    You just joined recently.
[19:49] Caster
    and strangled with something like a cable.
[19:53] Caster
    Also, there was no weapon
    found at the crime scene.
[19:58] Caster
    Based on the method used,
[20:00] Caster
    the police believe the culprit held
    a strong grudge against Mitsuya-san
[20:03] Caster
    and are currently
    questioning multiple people
[20:06] Caster
    who may have had interpersonal
    issues with the victim.
[20:09] Wadagaki
    What happened to you today?
[20:11] Rena
    Sorry for suddenly asking to meet.
[20:13] Wadagaki
    It's totally fine. It's not like
    I have anything else to do.
[20:16] Wadagaki
    Everyone's been arrested.
    My schedule's wide open.
[20:21] Employee
    Thank you for waiting.
[20:23] Customer
    Wait, really?
[20:27] Employee
    You have my support.
[20:29] Customer
    This is so awkward.
[20:33] Wadagaki
    Now I'm famous for something weird.
    Did you see the news?
[20:38] Rena
    Yeah. Sorry I didn't notice.
[20:42] Wadagaki
    It's fine. Now I don't have to wear a mask.
[20:49] Rena
    I figured out a bunch of things
    because you called me the other day.
[20:53] Rena
    I wanted to thank you for that today.
[20:55] Wadagaki
    Really? You mean about Nikaido-san?
[20:58] Rena
    Yeah. It made me realize there are
    unimaginably scary things out there.
[21:06] Rena
    Wadagaki-san, what are you going to do?
[21:09] Wadagaki
    I've actually been recruited
    by another agency.
[21:12] Rena
    Another agency? You're going
    to keep being an idol?
[21:14] Wadagaki
    I can't let that bring me down.
    It's the reason I came to Tokyo.
[21:20] Wadagaki
    I can't go home until
    I've accomplished something.
[21:23] Rena
    Right.
[21:25] Wadagaki
    Besides, I haven't been paid yet.
[21:28] Wadagaki
    I can't even get in touch
    with the company president.
[21:31] Wadagaki
    I've gotten caught in the crossfire.
[21:33] Rena
    Crossfire?
[21:34] Wadagaki
    Huh?
[21:36] Rena
    Come to think of it,
[21:38] Rena
    you and Ichimura-san must've been asked
    what you were doing the day of the incident.
[21:44] Wadagaki
    Yeah. This again?
[21:47] Wadagaki
    The police asked me too,
    but it was a normal day for me.
[21:50] Wadagaki
    I went to my dance lesson,
    and then I went home.
[21:53] Wadagaki
    Why do you ask?
[21:55] Rena
    Your dance lesson, huh?
    What about Ichimura-san?
[21:58] Wadagaki
    I don't know. Probably
    doing her sugar daddy job.
[22:02] Rena

    What caused Nikaido-san
    and Mitsuya-san's disagreement?
[22:09] Wadagaki
    Nikaido-san had a harsh personality.
[22:12] Rena

    I feel like I'm being interrogated.
[22:18] Rena
    Do you?
[22:21] Wadagaki
    I'm trying to move onto
    my next step, so could you not?
[22:34] Rena
    You're right.
[22:36] Rena
    Wadagaki-san?
[22:38] Rena
    Wadagaki-san?
[22:55] Rena
    Sato?
[22:57] Rena

[22:59] Wadagaki
    I thought if I became an idol
    I'd be able to meet my dad.

    If you're so unmotivated,
    why don't you just quit?
[23:06] Ichimura
    We've been forced to bend to her every whim.
[23:08] Mitsuya
    I want to go as far as I can with this team.
[23:11] Nikaido
    This isn't what you promised.
