    When I was in elementary school,
    I had friends just like everyone else.

SIGN    GROUNDS
    PUBLIC POOL
[00:08] ---
    During Summer break, we'd play
    at the public pool every day until sunset.

[00:15] ---
    Thinking back on it,
    my life peaked back then.

[00:23] ---
    When I got to middle school,
[00:25] ---
    everyone began to notice
    I was naturally an introvert.

[00:29] ---
    Before I knew it,
    I was on the outside looking in.

[00:34] ---
    During my three years in high school,
    I didn't talk to anyone

[00:37] ---
    and spent my time reading
    while listening to Rakugo stories.

[00:41] ---
    In college, I tried to change myself.
[00:44] ---
    I did an overseas internship,
[00:46] ---
    I was a student volunteer,
[00:47] ---
    and even took
    a personal development seminar.

[00:51] ---
    But to everyone else, I was just an empty,
    visionless, self-conscious idiot.

[00:57] ---
    To be fair, I didn't know
    what I wanted to do with myself.

[01:01] ---
    They'll super-size
    your beef bowl for free!
[01:02] ---
    What, for real?!
[01:04] ---
    We gotta go! I could eat three bowls!
[01:06] ---
    You're definitely
    gonna barf 'em up during practice.
[01:09] ---
    It's fine! I'll be fine this time!
[01:12] ---
    Didn't you say something like that before?
[01:15] ---
    But that was five servings of pasta.
[01:16] ---
    He should have been like me.
[01:18] ---
    -Empty, visionless, lacking ambition.
    -Not gonna happen, that would be 6 bowls!
[01:22] ---
    -But he...
[01:23] ---
    ...cruised through life
    without a care in the world.

[01:27] ---
    Always enjoying himself!
[01:31] ---
    And I just couldn't help but despise him.
[01:35] ---
    What's the matter?
[01:37] ---
    Come on out already.
[01:39] ---
    Your dad's weeping
    over what a good son he's got!
[01:44] ---
    I have to save Dad!
[01:46] ---
    But that means I need to become a zombie?!
[01:50] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
[01:51] ---
    Don't you dare open that door, Akira.
[01:56] ---
    The day you put yer mom in danger,
    and make me watch my own kid die...
[02:03] ---
    is the day we're no longer family.
[02:08] ---
    But if I don't do anything,
    you're going to...
[02:11] ---
    Don't worry about me, Akira.
[02:15] ---
    Either way, I don't have long left.
[02:22] ---
    What?
[02:23] ---
    Your father's got one of those
    bad growths on his body.
[02:27] ---
    With everything that's happening,
    there are no doctors or medicine...
[02:30] ---
    There's no way to treat it.
[02:33] ---
    Sooner or later,
    it'll be too late for him.
[02:35] ---
    But you don't know that for sure.
[02:37] ---
    If we search for a doctor,
    we might find one right away.
[02:40] ---
    And a vaccine to deal with the zombies
    could be developed tomorrow!
[02:46] ---
    At this rate, I'll never
    have a chance to show you my gratitude.
[02:51] ---
    Akira.
[02:53] ---
    Help humanity.
[02:57] ---
    Do what you can for the world.
[03:00] ---
    Don't lie for your own sake.
[03:03] ---
    Show others empathy.
[03:07] ---
    You can give back to us,
    even if we're gone.
[03:12] ---
    To see you living strong,
    from up in heaven...
[03:18] ---
    There's nothing
    that would make me prouder.
[03:27] ---
    Have you ever wanted to see Earth
    from the far reaches of space?

[03:31] ---
    Take care of your mom.
[03:33] ---
    Thanks for worrying about me, but aren't
    you tired from your long journey?

[03:37] ---
    I was a makeup artist for movies.
[03:39] ---
    Never expected
    to be attacked by real zombies...

[03:49] ---
    Doesn't seem like he's coming out.
[03:53] ---
    Guess some half-dead old guy
    isn't much of a hostage.
[04:31] ---
    You damned fool!
[04:33] ---
    I did it!
[04:35] ---
    Finally!
[04:36] ---
    I turned the person I hate the most
    into a zombie!
[04:41] ---
    Look at you!
[04:43] ---
    Look at you!
[04:44] ---
    Now I'll never have to see
    that dumbass smile of yours again!
[04:49] ---
    The fun times are over for you,
    and you can't do what you want anymore!

    What did you want to write down
    on your real bucket list, Higurashi?

[07:51] ---
    Whoa! Watch out for the water!
[07:55] ---
    That was so fast...
[07:56] ---
    I lose.
[07:57] ---
    All right!
[08:04] ---
    You went overboard, Higurashi!
[08:15] ---
    All I wanted to do...
[08:22] ---
    was have fun
    at the public pool with my friends.
[08:30] ---
    If that's all, then...
    you were a fool, Higurashi.
[08:34] ---
    Nope, I can do it today!
    It's 'cuz I didn't have breakfast yet!

    He left without saying anything.
[09:04] ---
    Let's get going already,
    they might run out!

    You should have just told us...

    Hm? Something stinks!

    Everyone! You're all right!
[11:05] ---
    This is everyone from the village.
[11:09] ---
    This is bad.

    We need to get out of here now!

    were up in arms about...

    I built you a brand new one in a jiffy!

    I told you I'd help you out
    if you ran into any trouble!

    He just wanted friends?
[13:58] ---
    If that's really all Higurashi wanted,
    then he's a god damned fool.
[14:04] ---
    Yeah.
[14:06] ---
    But when I was working
    for that exploitative company,
[14:10] ---
    I also lost sight of myself.
[14:12] ---
    Every day was so painful
[14:14] ---
    and I didn't know what I was living for.
[14:18] ---
    If I had wanted to make my own
    twisted list like that black notebook...
[14:25] ---
    I could've...anyone could've
    become like Higurashi.
[14:30] ---
    So despite everything, I can't hate him.

    There we go.
[14:43] ---
    Good job, Akira.

    I expect it won't be long
    before the village

    is back to the way it was before.
[15:51] ---
    It's all thanks to you.
[15:54] ---
    You were our village doctor, remember?
[15:56] ---
    Not really! I'm not even a doctor!

    "Is Akira doing all right?"
[17:13] ---
    Well, in a world full of zombies,
    even a curmudgeon like Dad would...
[17:18] ---
    No, not that!
[17:20] ---
    He started asking the day after
    you left for Tokyo.
[17:32] ---
    If...uh...
[17:35] ---
    Not to say that it will, but...
[17:40] ---

    I'll promise that I'll always...

    keep Mom and the village safe!

    That's it? Hemorrhoids?
[18:07] ---
    That's right!
[18:08] ---
    -Hemorrhoids!
    -Hëmorrhoiden?

[18:09] ---
    He hates hospitals,
    so he didn't do anything about them.
[18:12] ---
    So now, the bleeding's awful
    and a lot of the times,
[18:14] ---
    the pain's so awful he can't stand.
[18:16] ---
    It's awful.
[18:18] ---
    Umm... So then why's he wheezing?
[18:21] ---
    Lately, it's been considerably hot
    in the countryside, even at night.
[18:25] ---
    It makes it difficult
    for old-timers to sleep.
[18:27] ---
    But we can't ignore hemorrhoids!
[18:30] ---
    If we left it alone, they could lead
    to a life-threatening infection!

    I see. It's just hemorrhoids.

    I think it's time for me
    to leave the village.

    What's going to happen to the village?
[19:03] ---
    Akira, what do you wish to do
    outside of the village?
[19:08] ---
    If the zombies are caused
    by a virus like Shizuka says...
[19:14] ---
    I'll travel the country and look for a way
    to stop the infection.
[19:17] ---
    Then I'll convince Dad
    to get surgery for his hemorrhoids!
[19:24] ---
    Help humanity,
    do what you can for the world...
[19:28] ---
    Those were Dad's last wishes after all!

    -He's still alive though.
    -He's still alive though.
